Good to have you back Gene. As always, Killer Khan looks devastating. Bullet is fired up! His promo would defiantly get me to Beach Brawl. Nothing like a Rich family reunion. They're another group of heels that must be talking with Ernie Ladd because they brought up some crazy valid points. Their match with the Armstrong's is going to be a war. Oliver and Regal as the Electric Blondes...Genius idea! Spoiler finally gets his overdue title shot. Big tag team brawl to sell some last minute tickets. Reading this promo brought back 80s memories of Magnum and Dusty. The Gordon, Lanny, Woman and Man segments have become one of my favorite parts of your shows. Landel takes a beating from Stubbs. With all these distractions, I'm wondering if Spoiler is walking away with the title next week. Oliver gets some momentum going for his team with that win over Taylor. To the Farm Center, Spoiler is tuned up. The Rich's give Surf's Up a buzzkill. Lanny is 1-0 in the PleasureDome. Bullet and Brad weren't able to be there but Zenk and Taylor step in. YES! Highwaymen get the NWA tag title shot! WHOA! Khan sends Fujinami out on a stretcher! Didn't see that coming. Blondes take the champs to the limit. There must be a rematch. Wild main event as a mysterious mask man gives the heels a tainted win. All roads lead to Beach Brawl!

Busick gets the fans going with a spinebuster slam finish! Easy Ed with a solid win over Taylor. Playboy is lucky to have an enforcer like Ed. Brickhouse's plan works to perfection as a fresh Hall cleans house and gives the Brigade that long awaited team win over the Guerreros. Dog Pound get a tough win over British Steel and even show some respect. When Severn and Jarrett started teaming I was wondering where this would go. Well, after that win, they might be heading for a title shot. Thanks to Pringle, Deaton gets the win over Vic. I think Vic will be back for more and Pringle better watch out. Iron & Steel vs. The Wild Bulls was a marquee match for me. I loved the brutal power match these guys put on. Iron & Steel pull it out and should get a title match after that performance. Damn, what a great match! Pillman is now a made man after winning his feud with Cowboy Bob. Another favorite was St. Clair vs. Finlay. Their match was as hard hitting as I thought it would be. My man St. Clair pulls it out but I have a feeling Finlay wont just walk away. Classic 2 out of 3 falls tag match ends the night. Badd Co. looked strong but the Harts take the final fall. Nice touch giving Anvil the shinning moment. Awesome wrestling action and that was only night 1! Bring on part 2!

The battle of wits continues between Watts and the heels. Dr. Death and Brody, together! I wonder how the Freebirds are going to get out of this alive? Well, Hayes seems more than confident. I'm sure he has something up his sleeve. LOL, I knew Adnan wouldn't be happy with Reed. Snake vs. Reed is a great contrast of styles. Hmmm, I wonder how a great talker like Snake feels about being silent? I really liked Dibiase's promo. Calm, cool and straight to the point. Oh yea! Wild brawl to get things heated up for Baton Rouge! Freight Train has arrived and has some fuel left in the tank. Once again, hard to argue with Ladd's points. I know I would be pretty shaken if Ladd and Bad News made an ominous threat like that. However, Soul Man isn't scared and is ready to get down. Always loved a good parking lot brawl. They seemed so real. Will Johnson make it to Baton Rouge? While that's going on, we've got a group of faces set to even things up with Adnan's Army. Great build to Baton Rouge.

Great opening segment. Tojo's promo, Duk getting ready to destroy Tojo, and the arrival of Super Strong Machine. The build to this was very well done. LOL, the crybaby chants continue. Man, I hope Embry loses his title just so I can watch him throw a tantrum to loud crybaby chants. Fort Bragg Brotherhood have some serious momentum going. Dang! Dungeon of Doom with an epic squash! I'll say it again, JJF vs. Chicky is going to tear the house down. Heels jump on the babyfaces to end the show. Nice last minute heat for Labor Day. Wild night at the Sports Arena, Duk and SSM kick off their feud which now leads to a karate match on Labor Day. Pride is going to give Whatley a challenge. Radiance pull one over on the Glamour Boys. Will Embry have his title long enough to do this again? Kernodle is a true brother to Kirchner and helps his partner get a big win over Jason. Well, Chicky couldn't of picked a better partner than Abby. OMG is the sole survivor as his monster push continues. Slater overcomes Kendo. Next up-Jumbo. Slater was impressive but Jumbo has been looking like an unbeatable machine. This time he gets a huge win over Terry Funk! At least Terry gets to send the fans home happy. Jumbo vs. Slater might be WSW's biggest main event to date.

Cow Palace, Vic Steamboat is rising the ranks. Damn! Miller hitting Windham with the over the shoulder neckbreaker on the concrete was brutal. Duggan takes out Rose's number one henchman as he gears up for his title shot. Feud continues between British Steel and the Dog Pound. Brickhouse gets a nice win over Mando. I bet the fans were into that match. Thundercats put up a fight but the Midnight Express are in the zone. It's great to see my guy St. Clair in the title picture. Finlay ruins his chances tonight but St. Clair is going to make him pay! Fresno, Solid opener with Hart emerging victorious. Pillman is gaining quite the following. Hall shines in the tag match. Could we be seeing a breakout star here? Owen proves to be a worthy CA title contender as he takes down Hollywood Jack. I'm all for more Busick/Bubba collision matches. Candido and Tanaka put on an exciting match. Candido is dirty. Bam Bam beats Anvil in a fun match to end a solid night of action. Phoenix Firestorm is loaded! So many must see matches! Good grief!

As always WWW delivers with another exciting Supercard. The tag team action was off the charts tonight. I love how everybody gets a chance to shine in the ring and with promos. Peterson and Majors come out on top and set themselves up as a serious threat for the titles. Richter and Peggy Lee remain champs but sooner or later Richter's arrogance might cost them the titles. Looks like the monsters have taken a stand against Medusa. Not sure Medusa will find many friends to help her out of this one. I couldn't wait for Combs and Moretti. Big time main event as Moretti wins the title!!! Moretti's build has been so well done. Looking forward to her well deserved title reign.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 8-27-86 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. We've got not one but two blockbuster main event matches for you tonight. Jerry Lawler teams with the Rock n Roll Express to take on Bill Dundee and The Fabulous Ones. AWA world champ Ricky Steamboat and Jimmy Snuka will clash with Billy Jack Haynes and the Dream Machine. As if that wasn't enough, the Union clash with Soviet Steel. All that and a lot more, so let's get to the ring. The Golden Boys vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Golden Boys aren't playing around tonight as they take it to their opponents. They finish things off with a double gourdbuster. The fans cheer as they head over to Ken Resnick, who's standing by at ringside. Resnick: Golden Boys, I'll get right down to it, A couple of weeks ago, the Beasts of Burden attacked you and costed you a chance at the AWA world tag titles. Kelly: Beasts! You made a huge mistake and you can bet we're coming at you with everything we got and some! Spivey: Oh yea, Ox's boys are real tough when attacking from behind. Well let's see what they got when they go head on with us! Commercial Break Earthquake Ferris vs. Maurice Coolidge Ferris swings Coolidge into the turnbuckles and follows with a corner splash! Ferris grabs Coolidge and powerslams him over for the win! Ferris cuts a promo and says he's learned a lot from his recent losses and vows to get back on the winning track Commercial Break The Union vs. Soviet Steel The Russians stand in the ring waving their flags to the booing fans. A ring attendant gets in the ring and speaks with the ring announcer while the Russians want to know what's going on. Announcer: I've been told that the Union are pretty beaten up in the back and will not be able to compete. Boos as the Russians celebrate their victory. Announcer: However, substituting for the Union will be the Olympians. The Russians throw a fit as the Olympians hit the ring and pound away on the Russians. The Ref signals for the bell and the match is on. Kazmaier sends Markoff through the ropes with a big punch. Rheingans swings Soldat to the ropes and back drops him. Soldat bounces around and rolls out of the ring. The Russians regroup and get back on the apron. The match resumes and it's all Olympians. Kazmaier swings Soldat to the ropes and clamps on his big bearhug! Markoff charges but Rheingans tackles him. Wait a minute! The Union (bandages on their heads) hit the ring and nail Soldat while he's in the bearhug. The Ref has no choice but to signal for the DQ. Rheingans gets up and the Union put the boots to Markoff. The Russians roll out of the ring and head up the aisle. Resnick: Ok, I'm standing here with the Olympians and the Union. Ross: Brad, Bill, once again we apologize for costing you the match. Those cowardly Russians attacked us in the back and once again our tempers got the best of us. Brad: Look, we get that your upset and this was originally your match but that's the second time you costed us the decision. Bill and I are trying to get a title shot and this doesn't help. Huber: We know but we couldn't let them get away with this. They costed us an opportunity as well. But you're right, and we promise we wont let our tempers cost you any more matches. Bill: Fair enough. You guys get your match with Soviet Steel and end this. All 4 men agree and shake hands. Commercial Break Wahoo McDaniel vs. Neil Jurgens The fans are behind Wahoo as he wins the match with a tomahawk chop. Resnick: Wahoo, on Labor Day at the Mid South Coliseum, it's you and Bockwinkle once again and this time the winner will get a world title shot. Wahoo: You know I heard Bockwinkle out here last week talking about our strap match and saying it's meant for savages. That's his excuse for losing? Now he says he's going to beat me in a wrestling match. I'll admit, I took pleasure in making Bockwinkle bleed with the strap. I'm also going to take pleasure in beating him clean at his own game. He wants a wrestling match? I'll give him just that. Commercial Break Another music video is shown of Iceman Parsons. "The Iceman commeth" Resnick: Ok, I'm looking forward to the arrival of Iceman Parsons. Switching gears, my guests at this time are Johnny Valiant and the AWA TV champion The Great Gagne. Johnny, your man will defend that title next week against Tim Horner. Horner has been looking good here in the AWA. Johnny: Hold on a sec Resnick. You want to talk about looking good, check out the champ. Gagne is once again in full on Gatsby attire. He slowly walks back and forth like he's a model on a runway. He stops and holds up his TV title as the fans boo. Johnny: Just look at the man. Full of confidence as well as he should be. Gagne: Tim Horner, yea I guess I can say you're a pretty good little wrestler but it's comical to think you have a chance at winning my TV title. You are nowhere near my in ring level. Johnny, chalk another win up for the Great Gagne. Johnny: (laughs) Spoken like a true champ. Resnick: (Shakes his head) We'll be back with a huge match. Commercial Break Jerry "The King" Lawler/RnR Express vs. "Superstar" Bill Dundee and The Fabulous Ones This one never officially starts. Before the bell rings, a pier six brawl happens. Lawler and Dundee have a Memphis punch exchange in the middle of the ring. RnR and the Fabs fight through the ropes and brawl all over the place. The match might be a no contest but these 6 men give the fans and viewers a solid 3 minute brawl before a commercial hits. Commercial Break Resnick: That was some fight. Well here comes Lawler and the Rock n Roll Express. Go ahead guys. Morton: Fabulous Ones! The talking is over. My man Robert is healthy and ready to rock. On Labor Day, we're all going to find out just who the better team is. Boys, that's us! Lawler: Dundee! We will write another chapter on Labor Day. However, at the Mid South Coliseum, my hometown, this story will end and trust me, it's going to be a glorious ending for the King. Resnick: Fans, get your tickets now. Back to the ring. "The Wrecking Machine" Richard Charland w/Gino Brito Jr. vs. Todd Rooney Charland is aggressive tonight as he pummels poor Rooney. Charland finally puts Rooney out of his misery with an inverted piledriver! Boos as Brito leads Charland to ringside. Resnick: I know you've had some issues with Ron Garvin and I'm sure you're not thrilled that he eliminated your man Charland in last week's battle royal to get a national title shot on Labor Day. Brito: Garvin! Rest assured, this is far from over. Last week was a fluke and I guarantee that when you meet the Wrecking Machine one on one, he will simply destroy you. Charland bumps Resnick on his way out. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink "Beauty Shop" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to the highest rated segment in wrestling. I've said this a million times but everything happens here and tonight is no exception. My guests are the former AWA TV champion Scott Casey and Sunshine. Mega cheers as Casey (holding a bullrope) and Sunshine come out. Britton: (looking at Sunshine) Let's get something straight sweetheart, this is my show and I'm the queen around here. So you be a good little valet and stand back while I ask the questions. Sunshine smiles and backs up. Britton: Good girl. Ok, Scott Casey you're back after a brief hiatus thanks to the ever cool and smooth Jose Estrada. If I were you, I would of just stayed home. I mean I wouldn't want to mess with Jose and after what he did to you, you shouldn't either. Casey: That's exactly why I'm back. Estrada wanted to rekindle some history and he made his mark known with a cigar burn on my chest. Well you see this? (Holds up his bullrope) This here is my equalizer! Britton: Yea, big man, you need a weapon. You're not so innocent. Last week you jumped Jose and costed him his battle royal spot. So you're just a cheater who runs around with a lady of the night, if you know what I mean. Casey backs up as Sunshine walks up to Britton. Britton: You better watch your step lady. This is my.... WHAM! Sunshine slaps Britton as the fans go wild!!! Casey escorts Sunshine out. Britton: (In a daze with a crying tone while holding her cheek) Tooodles! Commercial Break AWA National Champ "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Gary Williams Idol is having a great time showboating and flexing before he wins the match with the Las Vegas Leglock. Resnick; Ok Austin Idol, on Labor Day, you will defend the National Title against last week's battle royal winner Ron Garvin. Idol: Ron Garvin? Do you really think a guy like him should hold a prestigious title like this? Come on darling! Austin Idol is from coast to coast the man with the most. Just listen to all the ladies out there. They scream and chant my name in the arenas and in their dreams. I've got more charisma than I know what to do with. So you see, a man like Ron Garvin just doesn't measure up. Quite frankly, Ron Garvin, you're just a bore baby. Boos as Idol gives the camera a double bicep pose. Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, as you can see extra security is coming out and you'll know why. Let's get to our next match. Tiger Jeet Singh vs. William Hillman Singh could care less about the security as he storms down the aisle, swinging his sword and knocking over ring attendants. The bell rings as Singh storms the ring and beats Hillman down. Singh hangs Hillman upside down on the turnbuckles and kicks away. The Ref warns him so Singh drags Hillman out and applies the camel clutch. The Ref signals for the bell. Singh wrenches away, then gets up, picks up Hillman and hurls him out of the ring. Singh goes out, grabs his sword and beats down on Hillman. Security runs over but Singh starts hitting them with his sword. Huge pop as CARLOS COLON runs out and nails Singh from behind! Colon hammers away as the swarm of Security rush over. They finally pull the two apart but not for long as they break free and start fighting again. Commercial Break Lance Russell: Wow, well Security has finally controlled that volatile situation. Come Labor Day, the AWA better call in the army for their match. Fans, next week you wont want to miss the big Labor Day show at the Mid South Coliseum. As far as next week's TV show, you'll see the Great Gagne defend his TV title against Tim Horner. The Golden Boys will wrestle the Beasts of Burden. Vin Man's family will be in 6 man tag action. And Dream Machine goes one on one with Jimmy Snuka in the main event. Now let's go to the ring as the AWA world tag champs are set for action. AWA World Tag Team Champs The Awesome Twosome vs. Arnie Goldstein and Dennis Taylor Adias looks more focused while Hennig seems to enjoy toying with their opponents. Adias hits a Russian Legsweep on Goldstein and covers but Hennig reaches in and tags himself in. Hennig picks up Goldstein and executes a Fisherman's Suplex for the pin. Hennig grabs the belts and gives one to an irritated Adias. Hennig holds it up then looks in the camera and says "Cabin Fever, you're titles are coming to us, the soon to be unified champions of the world!" Commercial Break AWA World Champ Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka vs. Billy Jack Haynes and The Dream Machine w/Ox Baker and Paul Jones The bell rings and Dream attacks Snuka as Billy nails Steamboat. All 4 men are fighting. Dream has Snuka on the ropes, backs up and charges but Snuka back drops him over the top rope. Jones runs over and attends to Dream. The Ref guides Snuka to his corner. Billy swings Steamboat to the ropes, misses a clothesline, Steamboat swings back and hits a flying press 1..2..Kick Out. Steamboat swings off the ropes but Ox trips him. Steamboat turns around and runs to the outside and chases Ox. Dream hits Steamboat but Snuka dives off the apron and nails Dream with a diving clothesline! Steamboat grabs Ox but Billy nails Steamboat with a double axehandle from the apron! Billy picks up Steamboat and clamps on the full nelson! The Ref reaches the 10 count and it's a double c.o. Billy wrenches away. Snuka is pounding on Dream but sees Steamboat in the full nelson and runs over to break it. Paul Jones whacks Snuka across the back with his cane! Dream staggers over, picks up Snuka and rams him into the steel post. Steamboat staggers up and heads towards Dream but Billy knees him from behind and once again clamps on the full nelson! The show ends. Labor Day @ The Mid South Coliseum AWA World Title Bout Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat (C) vs. Billy Jack Haynes w/Ox Baker Titles vs. Titles AWA World Tag Champs The Awesome Twosome vs. National Champs Cabin Fever AWA National Title Bout "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol (C) vs. "Rugged" Ron Garvin Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. "Superstar" Bill Dundee Carlos Colon vs. Tiger Jeet Singh The Rock n Roll Express vs. The Fabulous Ones Priceless vs. The Bruise Brothers Larry Z and Giant Haystacks vs. El Canek and The Cobra

Glamour Boys have been quietly racking up some wins. Jason is giving OMG a run for top WSW monster. The Haitian Sensation is becoming a star. Slick is really earning his money as he helps the Duo and Whatley win their matches. Poor Perez took quite a beating from Spot's bone. I'm sure the Latin Heartthrob will live to fight another day. Fort Bragg Brotherhood might be the toughest team in the game after beating Sullivan and Abby in a tornado match. Hmmmm, no Tojo with Duk. Kendall continues to look strong. OK, I'm so looking forward to the Labor Day match between Chicky and JJF. That's going to be a barn burner! Mantell wont take that loss to Brooks lightly. Akbar might of made a huge mistake. WHOA! Even though he needed brass knuckles, beating Terry Funk might be Chicky's biggest win ever. Jumbo looks almost unbeatable. Will Slater be able to dethrone him? I can't wait to find out.

LOL, Norvell takes advantage and gets one over on Tatum. Good night for Blackwell as he wins a match and puts the Masked Yankee down. Speaking of good nights, Patriots do their part and get another shot at the Masked Superstars titles. Reed and Race is one bad duo. They take down Snake and Leduc, then Reed gets icing on the cake by handing out some of Adnan's money to the kids. I can't wait to hear Adnan's next promo. Thanks to Ladd's big boot, Bad News retains over the Soul Man. BOOOOOOO! Dibiase gets the pin and earns himself a golden opportunity. I'm all for a Nikita/Dibiase title match. WOW! As if Hayes didn't already have enough heat, he obliterates Gordy with a chair. It's going to be big money when a fully healthy Gordy gets his shot at Hayes. The NWA is going strong with so many great storylines.

Hot tag match kicks things off. Orton and Deaton get the win. However, Pillman and Steamboat will each get another chance at Firestorm. Mega Man might of lost the match but getting respect from Hector is a pretty big deal. Ito feels the wrath of Gilbert. Gilbert is focused and ready for Muta. Gilbert vs. Muta might steal the show. Wild Bulls strike again but this time Iron & Steel hit the ring and fire back. I can't wait for that hard hitting match. The British get a big time win over Easy Ed and Champ Buddy Rose. If Rose gets past Duggan, he has a couple stiff challenges ahead.

Reed is the man! Ivan gets what he wants be there's a catch. Huge opportunity for Williams and Dibiase. Watts gives Ladd some bad news. Soul Man gets his shot! I will never get tired of the Watts/Ladd bantering. Patriots capitalize on Tatum's interaction with the fans. Can the Patriots pull off solo wins against the Superstars? Bart's in serious trouble. Nothing would put fear in me more than a pissed off Brody. LOL, I wonder what Fergie is up to? I love how everybody finds something fun for him to do in their territory. Besides Tommy Rich, Michael Hayes might be the most hated man in wrestling. The lights out match guarantees a Lake Front Arena sell out. This story is what it's all about. Jake DDT's his way to a title shot with Reed.

Always a fan of the battle royal. Defiantly a golden opportunity on Labor Day. Haitian Sensation is really getting over. Looking forward to his match with Whatley. Loving the "crybaby" gimmick for Embry. The water works might come out on Labor Day. Karachi Vice is tuned up for their big world tag team match. Jimmy Jack is fired up and ready to fight. Chicky better bring it. Glamor Boys end the show on a high note. To the Sports Arena, The hockey mask gets the best of Freight Train's hard head. Brooks remains solid muscle for Akbar. The tension is building between Duk and Tojo. SPC send Radiance into a full blown tantrum LOL. I would of loved to have seen that Kernodle/Sullivan taped fist match. That dang Golden Spike strikes again. Oh man after what JJF did to Kendo, Chicky might want to pack his bags and skip their Labor Day match. Kendall survives round 1 against OMG, thanks to a wild brawl. I think a rematch looms. Slater and the Funks get the win but Slater falls to the Tiger Suplex. Man I cant wait for their big match. Just 2 more weeks!

AWA @ The Auditorium, Minneapolis MN 8-21-86 Scott "Powerhouse" Putski and "The Hit Sensation" Joe Savoldi w/The Vin Man battled to a 10 minute draw The Olympians defeated Soviet Steel- Bill Kazmaier held Markoff in a bearhug while Rheingans executed a gut wrench suplex on Soldat for the win. "The Wrecking Machine" Richard Charland w/Gino Brito Jr. defeated Earthquake Ferris- Ferris went for a splash in the corner but Charland ran forward and put Ferris down with a clothesline then covered him with his feet on the ropes for the win. Carlos Colon defeated Rene Goulet with the figure four. After the match, Tiger Jeet Singh ran out and attacked Colon! The 2 men had another brawl around the arena until a swarm of security broke them up. "The Ace" Art Crews w/The Vin Man defeated Jerry "Alright" Allen- Allen was going for a superplex but Vin Man tripped him. Crews fell on top and covered him while Vinnie held onto Allen's boots. Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka and The Dream Machine w/Paul Jones battled to a Double C.O. Billy Jack Haynes and The Beasts of Burden w/Ox Baker defeated AWA World Champ Ricky Steamboat and AWA National Tag Champs Cabin Fever- Action packed hard hitting match that ended during a pier six brawl. Steamboat and Billy Jack were fighting on the outside. Boone and Morgan were trading fists in the corner. Ox Baker hit Manny Fernandez with a chair and Nord followed with a big boot to get the win. Jerry "The King" Lawler/Chief Wahoo McDaniel and The RnR Express defeated Nick Bockwinkle/"Superstar" Bill Dundee and The Fabulous Ones- This match goes over 45 minutes and everybody gets a chance to shine. Wahoo and Bock are the legal men. Wahoo puts Bock down with a tomahawk chop and covers but The Fabs and Dundee run in. Lawler pounds away on Dundee while RnR take it to The Fabs. Bock gets up and takes a swing at Wahoo but Wahoo ducks and atomic drops him into Dundee. Bock staggers back and Wahoo rolls him up for the 1..2..3!

Medusa pulls it out but Bennett really tested her. Looks like Singh is about done wit Medusa's antics. I'm keeping an eye on that. Solid tag match as the babyfaces outlast the heels. Winona and Starr are serious contenders. Great main event with some heat. Combs vs. Moretti is going to be money!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 8-20-86 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight's main event will be a battle royal and the winner will get a National Title shot on Labor Day in Memphis against Austin Idol.

Boone swings Dutro to the ropes and Manny hits the flying burrito for the pin. Cheers as Cabin Fever hold their titles high then head to ringside to talk with Ken Resnick. Resnick: I'm sure you guys were as surprised as I was when AWA world tag champs the Awesome Twosome challenged you to a titles vs. titles match in Labor Day. Manny: Yea we were a bit thrown back but hey if the awesome twosome want to have a match for all the marbles, well then Cabin Fever is game. Every team's goal is to wear those world title straps and Cabin Fever is no different. Come Labor Day we'll be holding all the titles high baby! Boos as the Awesome Twosome come out. Adias: Look, we're... Curt: Hold on a second Brian, I'll handle this. The reason we issued the challenge to you two morons is simple. We want to prove without a shadow of a doubt just who is the best team is in the AWA, which is of course us and we get to prove that on Labor Day. Then, when we're done with you two chumps, it's on to all the other territories and promotions and we're going to win their titles. That's right, we're not only going to prove that we're the best team in the AWA but that we're the best team in the world period! Brian gives Curt a puzzled look. Manny: You know Curt, you seem confident and full of yourself but don't make the mistake of looking past Cabin Fever. Boone: Because that could cost you dearly! Cabin Fever exits. Brian continues looking at Curt with a puzzled look. Curt smiles and puts his arm around him and escorts him out. Resnick: I think Curt Hennig might be looking to far past Cabin Fever. Regardless, that's going to be a great match on Labor Day. Commercial Break "Superstar" Bill Dundee vs. Todd Rooney Dundee is having a great time tonight. He hurls Rooney out of the ring then follows. Dundee lifts Rooney up and chokes him in front of the camera and yells "This is for you Lawler!" Dundee hurls Rooney back in the ring. Dundee executes a vertical suplex. Dundee struts around, then goes to the top rope and crashes down with the Bombs Away for the win. Resnick: Superstar Dundee, it's you and Lawler once again at the Mid South Coliseum on Labor Day. Dundee: Listen up Daddy, Lawler and I have gone around and around and back around again. As you just saw, I'm fired up and ready to beat up on Lawler yet again. I wont be satisfied until I run him out of the AWA and Daddy after I get through with him on Labor Day, that phony King is going to hang his head in shame right there in his hometown! Commercial Break Winner gets a TV title shot in 2 weeks "White Lightning" Tim Horner vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers w/ The Vin Man The bell rings but Vin Man walks up to Horner and starts berating him. The fans cheer as Horner pushes Vinnie through the ropes. Flowers nails Horner from behind with a forearm blast. Flowers swings Horner to the ropes and flips him over with a knee to the gut. Flowers stomps away on Horner and covers but Horner kicks out at 1. Flowers chokes away on Horner, picks him up and slams his head on the turnbuckle. Flowers grabs Horner by the hair and hurls him out of the ring. Flowers distracts the Ref as Vinnie puts the boots to Horner. Horner finally gets up on the apron but Flowers rakes his eyes and suplexes him back in the ring 1..2..Kick Out. Flowers gets up and berates the Ref. Vinnie is up on the apron holding up 3 fingers while yelling at the Ref. Finally Flowers turns his attention back on Horner. Flowers reaches down to pick him up but Horner cradles him 1..2..3! Big Pop! Flowers and Vinnie throw a tantrum as Horner slides out of the ring and celebrates with the fans. Commercial Break The Beasts of Burden and Billy Jack Haynes w/Ox Baker vs. Gary Williams, Trent Watkins and Carl Kellerman Total destruction! Beasts swing Watkins to the ropes and put him down with a double boot shot. They tag in Billy Jack. Billy lifts Watkins up and clamps on the full nelson. The Ref signals for the bell but Billy Jack keeps wrenching away. Williams and Kellerman enter the ring to help their partner but the Beasts beat them down. Billy tosses Watkins across the ring. Ox enters the ring. Billy picks up Watkins and holds him as Ox nails him with his heart punch! Massive boos as Ox leads his men to ringside where a nervous Resnick awaits. Resnick: I...that was just brutal and uncalled for. Just look at the Medics as they're bringing in a stretcher for poor Trent Watkins. Ox: Resnick! This is just the beginning. Last week my Beasts laid waste to those soft Golden Boys. Why? Because my Beasts wanted to show me they still have that killer instinct. (Looks at Morgan and Nord) Mission accomplished, well done! What just happened was icing on the cake. I love it! Now, Ricky Steamboat, I sure hope you watched this. Billy Jack sent you a message and brother you're next to feel the power of his full nelson. Nobody gets out of his vice clamp and I mean nobody! That means you Steamboat! On Labor Day, Billy Jack Haynes is walking away with the AWA world title. That's a fact and a painful fact for you Steamboat! Billy Jack: Steamboat! You're mine boy! Commercial Break We come back to a scene in an expensive restaurant. Priceless (Gerry Morrow and George Wells) are wearing suits and sitting at a table. The waiters set their food down on the table. Morrow: (looks in disgust) What is dis? Dis is not what we ordered! Wells: Take it back! Now! Priceless swipe the plates off the table! The waiters scramble to pick it up and head to the back. Morrow: Such incompetence. It will not ruin our expensive night out. Let us enjoy a bottle of de very best. Wells: A toast, to none other than the good life. It's a shame those stupid waiters messed everything up because they will not be getting a tip. Priceless laugh and toast. The waiters return. Morrow: Do not waste anymore of our time. Do your job and leave immediately! The waiters dump the food on Priceless! The camera pans up and it's the BRUISE BROTHERS! The Bruise Brothers smash their trays on Morrow and Well's heads. Bruise Brothers pick up Priceless and slam them on the floor! Bruise Brothers smile, grab the champagne and pour it all over Priceless. Waiters in the background are cheering. Commercial Break . Dream Machine w/Paul Jones vs. Neil Jordan Dream swings Jordan to the ropes and puts him down with a back elbow smash, then follows with a jumping elbow drop for the pin. Resnick: Paul Jones, your man Dream Machine and Jimmy Snuka are having some issues. We all saw Dream Machine try and put Snuka down with a foreign object in his mask but that failed miserably. Just what is your strategy now? Jones: First of all, Dream Machine would never resort to such cheap tactics. Snuka is nothing but a freak. Trust me Ken, next time they meet, Dream Machine will show that freak who he's dealing with. Dream: That's right babay! Dream Machine wants gold and babay I deserve it! But now I have to get rid of this freak first. I will do just that. The freak's not in my league, it's as simple as that. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the pink glowing "Beauty Shop" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome once again to the highest rated segment in wrestling. Tonight will be box office gold because my guest is none other than the legendary Nick Bockwinkle. Bock comes out looking like a million bucks. Britton: Mr. Bockwinkle, this is an absolute honor and privilege to have such a class act on my show. Bock: Please Brenda, call me Nick. Britton: Wow, ok, Nick. On Labor Day, you and Wahoo McDaniel will wrestle one more time and this time the winner will get a world title shot. Let's run down your AWA history with Wahoo. In May during a tournament, you two wrestled to a draw, which I know you would of won with just 1 more minute. At WrestleRock, you got the win by the Referee stopping the match, very wise officiating. Then a few weeks ago he defeated you in a strap match. Now that wasn't fair was it? Bock: You're right, it wasn't fair. You see, Wahoo defeated me in a match meant for savages. Clearly I am the superior wrestler and I proved that in our wrestling matches. I will prove that on Labor Day. There will be no strap, there will be rules to follow, something Wahoo isn't to good at. I will outwrestle and outsmart him. Then when this is all said and done, I will take the AWA world title and put it where it rightfully belongs, around my waist. Britton: You're so articulate. You summed it up so well. This has been a joy. Until next week, tooooodles. Commercial Break The Union vs. Patrick McManus and Arnie Goldstein Cheers as the patriotic team enters the ring. Ross is waving the American Flag as Huber holds up his sledgehammer. Good showcase as the Union is in sync tonight. Ross nails Goldstein with a superkick as Huber follows with a powerslam for the win! WHAM! Soviet Steel hits the ring and nails the Union from behind with their Russian flags! Soviet Steel hammers away with their flags. Cheers as The Olympians hit the ring and clean house. Olympians help up the Union. The Union push the Olympians away and get up on their own. Clearly they're pissed at the Russians. Union calm down and shake hands and thank the Olympians. Commercial Break Tony Garea vs. William Hillman Garea wins the match with an abominable stretch. Commercial Break Larry Zbyszko and Giant Haystacks vs. Sam Smith and Kevin Hodges Larry executes a swinging neckbreaker on Hodges, then tags in Haystacks. Haystacks crashes down with an elbow drop for the decisive win. Resnick: Larry, you and Haystacks make quite the team. I've been informed that on Labor Day, the two of you will meet El Canek and Cobra. Larry: I just have to laugh at the thought of that. You and all these spudheads saw what we did to them. I mean we annihilated them. Why would they want to experience that again? Are they stupid? I guess they are. Haystacks: Canek! We have unfinished business and I will finish it! Haystacks almost knocks Resnick over with a roar. Camera cuts to Lance Russell Lance: Moments like that I don't envy Ken Resnick. Fans next week, the Rock n Roll Express will be in action. Jerry Lawler will also be in the ring. TV Champ The Great Gagne will be here. Soviet Steel clashes with The Union. Listen to this main event. Billy Jack Haynes and The Dream Machine will take on Jimmy Snuka and the AWA world champion Ricky Steamboat. Should be an outstanding match up. Our big battle royal when we come back. Commercial Break BATTLE ROYAL- Winner gets a National Title shot on Labor Day Participants- Ron Garvin, Jose Estrada, Richard Charland (w/Gino Brito), Rene Goulet, Steve O, Earthquake Ferris, Art Crews and Joe Savoldi (W/The Vin Man), Scott Putski, Jerry Allen The wrestlers enter the ring one by one. Estrada is the last man as he arrogantly walks to the ring with a cigar in his mouth. WHAM! Estrada is attacked from behind by SCOTT CASEY! Casey pounds away on Estrada with a cowbell! Casey puts the boots to him while hitting him with the cowbell until security runs out and stops him. Clearly Estrada will not be participating in tonight's battle royal. The bell rings and the wrestlers turn their attention back to each other. Rene Goulet is eliminated by Ron Garvin. . Steve O is eliminated by Earthquake Ferris. Earthquake Ferris is eliminated by Richard Charland. Art Crews, Joe Savoldi, Scott Putski and Jerry Allen all go over in a pile and continue fighting on the outside as Vin Man joins in. Ron Garvin and Richard Charland are the final two. Brito is on the outside yelling up and taunting Garvin. This distraction allows Charland to nail Garvin from behind with a high knee. Charland chokes Garvin on the top rope and tries to eliminate him but Garvin holds on and gives Charland several elbows to his head. Garvin turns around but Charland rakes his eyes, swings him to the ropes and clotheslines him down. Brito applauds Charland. Charland swings Garvin into the corner and charges in but Garvin back drops him over the turnbuckles and Charland crashes to to floor! Huge pop! Garvin wins the battle royal! On the outside, Charland regroups and wants to get back in the ring but Brito holds him back and escorts him up the aisle. As Garvin celebrates, Joan Jett's "Do you want to touch me" blasts over the speakers. The show ends as Austin Idol comes out and holds his National title up towards Garvin.

It's hard enough trying to figure out Luscious let alone having to deal with Woman and Man. Tommy Rich is wasting no time getting his heat back. LOL, I would of bought a ticket just to see Fujinami team with the DWBs. I'm thinking Zenk and Taylor are going to have a long reign. Nothing resolved between Landel and Stubbs...yet. One heck of a main event as Dusty and Magnum send the fans home happy. Surf's Up are making waves. Scott Armstrong superkicks his way to a win over Regal. Spoiler wins the battle of the masked men. Another great tag main event as the Armstrong's get a most satisfying win over the Rich's.

Very creative booking with 3 matches leading to a 6 man tag. Fans got their money's worth for sure. Whatley's open challenge backfires as The Haitian Sensation pulls one over on them and probably earned himself a TV title shot. Moondogs have a firm grip on the tag titles. Only a matter of time before Duk snaps on Tojo. Good job keeping heat on the JJF/Chicky feud. Mantell keeps his stock up with a nice win over Gama. Blockbuster main event as Jumbo and OMG get a huge win over Slater and Funk (With a lot of help from Tojo) This adds fuel to the upcoming Jumbo/Slater title match.

Your tournaments always give us a great night of action while continuing storylines and starting new ones. Bart is in big trouble with a pissed off Brody coming after him. Speaking of pissed off, Rocky Johnson will be coming after Bad News. The Mighty Yankee did very well. Loved that power match with Reed. Dibiase and Williams walk down Bad Street and prevail! Who can stop the champs? I was pulling for Reed and he didn't disappoint. Nice touch having Gordy present Reed with the title.

Phoenix Firestorm is one of the most anticipated events in the game and this year we get 2 nights! YES!!!!

Luscious defiantly has been reborn. He keeps racking up some nice wins. Magnum gets to be the Ref. Fujinami and Khan are just getting started. Oliver and Regal get the shot. I like this duo. Of course I have to mention the final Intern being revealed as none other than Tommy Rich! The fine is paid and the mask is off. One final piece left as we get ready for the loser leaves town match. Continental title match ends in chaos but the fans get a thrill as Dusty Rhodes returns to action. Awesome way to end the show as Taylor and Zenk give the NWA champs a real test. Dibiase and Williams have had an incredible run so no shame in losing to them.

Tony St. Clair continues to impress here in Pacific. Bret shows he can get the job done in both tag and singles competition. Whoever booked that Steiner/Severn match deserves a raise. If Vic Steamboat continues this momentum, Ricky might not be the only Steamboat holding gold in this game. The Wild Bulls are tearing up some teams. They're sure making a lot of enemies. Guerreros are winning again. When they go on these streaks, it's hard to stop them. Adams brings out the kendo stick adding heat to his feud with Rotunda. Smothers doesn't hesitate to bend the rules in order to hold on to his CA title. Avenger and Burke get the big title shot at Firestorm. I've enjoyed this storyline. Busick might not feel the same LOL. Crafty Rose once again retains. Orton and Pillman is one of my favorite feuds in the game. Windham and Simmons put Miller down. Can they do this to Hansen? Bigelow/Adams in a falls count anywhere match! Gilbert/Muta in a Tennessee death match! Phoenix Firestorm is going to be one epic night of action. Candido and Hase give the fans one heck of a main event. These guys have some serious stamina. Great match! Pacific is rock'n this week.

Perez gets things going and then makes it known he wants a shot at the TV title. Akbar promises Labor Day will be a historic day for Devastation Inc and he might be right. Nothing builds up a monster better than beating up 3 guys. OMG is a legit threat. Glamor Boys get a good showcase in. WOW! Dusek with some big announcements. I'm glad you're bringing back the Brass Knuckles title. It's a perfect fit for WSW. Dusek couldn't of picked 2 better guys to fight for it. Dusek's right, WSW isn't big enough for JJF and Chicky. Texas Death Match will be closure for sure. I have a feeling Labor Day will be a bad night for "Crybaby" Embry LOL. Terry Funk ends the show on a high note and the viewers even get a bonus brawl. To the Sports Arena, Slick is really earning his money as a manager. Big win for Kernodle as he puts Sullivan down with a piledriver! Somebody is going to have to find a counter for Jason's hockey mask. Thanks to the Long Riders, Embry continues to live up to his "crybaby" moniker. I've got to give Kendall a lot of credit, he's really taking it to Devastation Inc. Slater continues his incredible momentum by getting the win for his team. Duk is in hot water. Outstanding week as the Labor Day Spectacular approaches.

What a great show with so much good stuff going on. Well I guess if you get a win over Bullet Bob, you can call yourself "Winner". The Rich's are feeling pretty good. Bullet gives one hell of a promo and pays Tommy's fine! Oh man who's going to leave the NWA?? We go right into another outstanding story between Cooley, Stubbs and Budro. Stubbs has it all figured out until the footage is shown. Stubbs vs. Magnum for the Ref spot adds even more intrigue to this. Cooley's pretty smart as he realizes he's got his shot and just goes with the flow LOL. Highwaymen and Hangmen give us another fun brawl. Humperdink feels the Dragon Sleeper but Fujinami feels the wrath of Killer Khan! This show keeps getting better. Zenk and Taylor get rewarded with a NWA tag title shot. This will be a change of pace for the world champs. Interesting match. HAHAHAHA, Poffo, Woman and Man really love Gordy and ask him to use his influence for a title shot. Gordon plays off this so well. I look forward to these segments every week. Damn, that upcoming card shows how stacked your roster is. LOL, time for Budro. I'll give him props, he's very honest with his intentions. However, Stubbs might be right, after all this is over, he might not have any friends left. DWBs end the show with a nice win over a Humperdinkless Akio and Goto. So many creative storylines going on really makes each week must see TV.

Ernie Ladd has my vote as booker LOL. Wow! Williams and Dibiase are fired up and ready to walk down Bad Street! Lot's of intrigue surrounding the briefcase and purse. HMMMMMMM Those are some solid first round match ups, especially Jake vs. Harley. I'm pulling for Reed to win it.

Always enjoyed Santana and Cuban teaming up. I can see some fun matches against US Steel and various partners. Rusty Brooks gives Jimmy Jam a little more than he bargained for. What I remember most about Rusty Brooks was his TV match with Hulk Hogan in 85. After the match, Miss Elizabeth challenged Hogan on behalf of Macho Man. I believe it's on Youtube. Damien coms into play as Jake puts Blackwell down with the DDT. Jake is heating up again. Loving the Masked Yankee story going on. They put in a good outing but this is Reed were talking about. The old mask man switch-a-roo. Works every time. Thanks to Ladd, Johnson advances to the tournament. I liked that visual of Ladd nailing Johnson with the big boot while Johnson had the Boston Crab on Bad News. All the other tournament competitors better be ready because Brody is in it! Action packed main event that no doubt gives us a rematch. That purse must of been loaded to put Dr. Death down.
