Great follow up from Rocket Rampage. LOL, RPG and his second of silence for Jimmy Valiant was such a classic heel move. Nelson Royal plays the part of the old vet heel well. The Violent Gentlemen might be short but brother they can fight. Johnny V better watch himself or he might get a beating. Cooley and Brad can easily become the top babyface team here. If they're helping Davis then that means they're going to go at it with the Sawyers. That could be a top dollar feud. The Ugandan Headhunter is back in beast mode! Bullet is still recuperating but no doubt he'll be back. Kamala brawling with Bullet will tear the houses down. Mulligan is fired up for his rematch with Stomper. Oh man the Oates take a beating from the Sawyers and it would of been a lot worse if the faces didn't stop it. Great set up for the upcoming 10 man tag. To the Farm Center, Ash comes to town and starts off with a solid win over Hamilton. Nelson Royal doesn't take the strap tonight as Scott holds him to a draw. I hope these guys go at it a few more times. I think this program has some legs. Big Bubba has a huge night as he sends Gypsy out on a stretcher then later attacks the Candyman. Looks like Bubba wants to be the only big man standing in Twin States. Exciting 10 man tag! Brad is getting a big time push and has some serious momentum going. I have a feeling the Sawyers are going to be coming after him and Cooley. WOW! Jimmy Jam has arrived! I was wondering where he was LOL. I think losing Precious is going to make him a bit crazy and a crazy Jimmy can be very unpredictable as we saw tonight. Jimmy is such a good fit for Twin States. I cant wait to see what he does here. Fans don't go home happy as Stomper puts Mulligan down with a little help from Carson. I'm sure Mulligan wont forget this. No, I would say Mulligan is going to be PISSED! Carson and Stomper better be ready for a real fight. As always, great job Gene. Your storylines just flow so well.

USWA House Shows Cook Convention Center, Louisville Convention Center, Kentucky Freedom Hall Duke Myers vs. A Local Talent Myers wins the match with a sidewalk slam The Rock n Roll RPMS vs. The CEOs These guys go fast and furious to a 10 minute draw. Tensions flare after the match which leads to more fighting. "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. "The Vin Man" Vinnie Valentino Vin Man pulled out all the cheap heel tactics but in the end Siva put him down with a diving headbutt for the win. After the match, Vinnie's female entourage ran into the ring to help him. The Grapplers vs. The Lone Stars Wild hard hitting fight. The match ends when the Grappler 2 clotheslines Deaton over the top rope. Grappler 1 hoists Young up as Grappler 2 climbs the ropes then hits the diving clothesline on Young for the win! Carlos Colon vs. "Champagne" Gerry Morrow As Colon heads to the ring he's attacked from behind by MOOSE MOROWSKI! Moose puts a beating on Colon then rams him into the steel post! Security runs out to stop this. Colon is helped to the back. Looks like another attempt to collect on Tiger Jeet Singh's bounty. The match is a No CONTEST. Moments later, Morrow strolls to the ring with a bottle of champagne and pours himself a drink. Morrow gets the mic and says "I consider that a victory so I deserve a toast" Morrow drinks his champagne and casually leaves as the fans boo. The Technicians and "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson vs. The Super Samoans and Ripper Morgan w/Leilani Kai Chaotic 6 man action. At the 15 minute mark a pier six brawl breaks out. During the chaos, Rheingans cradles Sakalia for the pin! The bell rings but the brawl continues. Kai tosses Morgan his chain and he nearly decapitates Rheingans with it. Samoans and Morgan exit as Roop and DJ attend to Rheingans. Central States Title Bout Dr. Dream Machine (C) vs. Porkchop Cash Cash takes it to Dream and has him reeling as he headbutts him out of the ring. While on the outside, Dream pulls a foreign object out of his trunks. Dream gets on the apron. Cash runs over, Dream swings but Cash ducks and back suplexes him, but while in the air, Dream nails him on top of his head with the foreign object. They crumble down with Dream on top 1..2..3! Dream retains. Matt Borne and Rip Oliver vs. Tommy "Wildfire" Rich and "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich . This is one hard hitting and bloody brawl! All 4 men end up fighting. They take the fight to the outside and battle to a double count out. They keep fighting for several more minutes and the fans love every minute of it. Oliver and Borne end up getting the upper hand of the fight to send the fans home happy.

LOL, the opening segment already had me cracking up. From the antics of Jack Victory to the old card in the sleeve by Hickerson. Funny stuff! The laughing continues with...The Laser Blondes! HAHAHA! Fun match but the SHOCKING moment happens when the Blondes are unmasked! It's Regal and Donovan!!!! Mr. Ebony arrives and is ready for one last big run in Texas! More comedy gold! Victory making up names for everyone was classic. My biggest laugh came when the Blondes thought they were fired. Then their reaction when Dusek had to give them an explanation. These guys have become a huge highlight every week. Wearing a mask with the Texas colors will defiantly get you over here. Impressive debut for the Texas Ranger. Damn that was one epic match for the tag titles! Very well written. Both teams showed why they were in the finals. I like both teams but I have to admit I popped when the Highwaymen won it. Awesome tournament with a grand finale. Now we get a 25 man gauntlet match next week for the Texas Title! It gets better and better!

USWA TV @ The Knoxville Civic Center 10-2-85 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of USWA wrestling here on the USA Network. Great night of action in store for you. Mike George takes on David Sammartino of the Elite. Sunny War Cloud clashes with Timothy Flowers. We'll see the debut of The Surge Scott Doring. Gerry Morrow, the Lone Stars, Ben Bassarab, the Magnificent Ones and Johnny Rich will all be in action tonight. I'll be speaking with Carlos Colon. Jerry Jarrett will be here to address us on the Road Warriors, Grapplers situation. Well fans, this Thursday Night, the USA Network will televise a special broadcast of the Jerry Lawler, Terry Funk empty arena match from the Roanne Fieldhouse. The match will be non sanctioned however Lawler has promised that if Funk wins the match he will not only get a title shot but he will be allowed to pick the stipulation. On that note let's hear from Jerry Lawler at his home and then I'll be speaking with Terry Funk. Jerry Lawler is standing in front of his house still wearing a neck brace. Lawler: It's been a month since that spineless coward Terry Funk put me through a table with his piledriver. Here I am still wearing this thing (Pointing at his neck brace). Now I know a lot of people think I'm crazy for doing this and maybe I am. Hell, the USWA wont even sanction this, but this isn't about anything except me wanting to fight Terry Funk, plain and simple! Just you and me Funk! Nobody else. And believe me I'm coming to fight and pound you to the ground and then put your head through the floor. Then when I'm done I'm going to beat you up again and again and again! Terry Funk, Thursday you're mine! Lance: Ok, a very determined Jerry Lawler Boos as Terry Funk bursts on the scene. Funk: Lance, Lance, Lance, this Thursday Night millions of viewers are going to witness the end of Jerry The Jackass Lawler! But Lance you get to witness it live and get to commentate on the destruction of that Jackass. Once that happens he will have to forfeit his beloved title to me because he wont make it to another match. I can't wait! Thursday night is the moment I've been waiting for. I'm going to destroy Jerry Lawler! I'm going to get that title and when I'm done with all that I'm going to break his crown just for the fun of it! Lance: Ok fans, that comes to you this Thursday here on the USA Network. It's the showdown we've all been waiting for. And that's going to be a fight. We'll be back. Commercial Break "The Electrifying" Ben Bassarab vs. Gary Williams The fans are up and cheering as Bassarab is flying all over the place. Bassarab hits a snap suplex, runs up to the top rope and crashes down with a flying leg drop for the pin! Lance: Ben, come on over. Another impressive win and I know why they call you electrifying. Ben: Thank you Lance. I've been rising the USWA rankings for a few months and I haven't backed down from a challenge. I'm charged up and always running on high octane. The fans cheer as Ben raises his fist and smiles. Lance: I really like this kid. We'll be back Commercial Break The Magnificent Ones vs. Sam Smith and Vic Dutro Last week Kevin Kelly introduced Nick Kiniski as his new partner right after they beat up Yoshiaki Yatsu. Tonight we defiantly know why Kelly chose Kiniski. They are gelling well and prove to be a very cohesive unit. The end comes when Kiniski dropkicks Dutro into Kelly's full nelson. The Ref signals for the bell. Kelly swings Dutro around then tosses him. Kiniski grabs Smith and the Magnificent Ones double suplex him. The fans boo as the Magnificent Ones celebrate. The fans roar as Yoshiaki Yatsu and Masanobu Fuchi hit the ring and hammer away on the Magnificent Ones! The Magnificent Ones bail out of the ring. Yatsu and Fuchi want more. The Magnificent Ones just point and yell as we go to a commercial. Commercial Break Lance: Ok, Yatsu and Fuchi show the Magnificent Ones they're ready for a fight. The tag team division is really heating up here and because of that I understand in a couple weeks there will be an announcement regarding the Central States Tag Titles. Speaking of titles, my guests at this time are Les Thornton and the reigning TV champ Tony St. Clair. Welcome gentlemen. I must say Mr. St. Clair has had a firm grip on that title for nearly 6 months. I've been told that the next challenger in line will be Corporal Kirchner. Your thoughts? Thornton: My thoughts? Corporal Kirchner is nothing but a typical American bar room brawler. He's nowhere near the caliber of Tony St. Clair. Tony St. Clair is going to teach that brawling patriotic buffoon a wrestling lesson he'll never forget. And Lance, don't you forget that this man is simply the best. St. Clair: I concur with everything Les just said. I am truly a wrestling genius. My skills are far more superior than Kirchner's. Simply put, he doesn't have a chance. It will just be a sad day for all these American fans. Thornton: Good day Lance Lance: Two very confident men. Back to the ring as Gerry Morrow has returned from vacation. "Champagne" Gerry Morrow vs. Todd Rooney Morrow does look well rested as he works over Rooney. Morrow finishes things off with the Sleeper. Boos as Morrow arrogantly strolls to the podium with a bottle of champagne. Morrow pours himself a glass, holds it up, smiles, nods to Lance and drinks it down. Morrow: AAAAHHHH very good. Did you miss me Lance? I'm feeling fine and while I was in Cabo I came up with an agenda. I want the title. Lance: Which title are you referring to? Morrow: A man such as myself wants the greatest title. I am referring to the USWA title. I know the so called King has his hands full right now but rest assured I will get my title match because a man such as myself always gets what he wants. And when I win that title, I will have a bottle of my best champagne and you and I will enjoy a toast. Commercial Break Sunny War Cloud vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Very even match up. Sunny brings out his chops, slams and back drops while Flowers bends the rules with chokes, boot rakes and eye gouges. Things get heated as they have a furious exchange and fight through the ropes. The Ref counts to 10 and signals for the bell but they keep fighting. The bell keeps ringing but the fists keep flying. They fight into the commercial break. Commercial Break Lance: Oh my we just witnessed quite a match between War Cloud and Flowers.... Flowers comes to the podium. Flowers: What was that!? Can you believe that guy Lance! Sunny War Cloud is nothing but a savage! A wild animal! That injun doesn't know who he's messing with. When I get done with him his name will be Crying Cloud because I'm going to hurt him bad. Like I say, I'm like the mailman and I always deliver! Lance: Ok well, back to the ring. The Lone Stars vs. Arnie Goldstein and Willie Lopez Young and Deaton are ruthless tonight as they give their opponents a beating and win the match with a vicious double clothesline! Lone Stars cut a promo and warn the Grapplers that they're not done with them! Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the pink "Beauty Shop" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton Brenda: Hi everybody and welcome to the number one segment in the wrestling world, the Beauty Shop. Now tonight is a very special show because my guest is none other than the USWA owner himself Jerry Jarrett. Jarrett comes out and shakes Brenda's hand. Jarrett: Pleasure to be here Miss Britton. Brenda: Oh I know it is. Now, as you and everybody knows, I'm the one who gets all the inside scoops. So I want the answer Mr. Jarrett. Are you going to sign the match between the Grapplers and the Road Warriors? I mean, don't you remember what the Road Warriors did to this place? Don't you remember that they put the true superhero Steve O out of commission? Are you really going to let them get away with all that? I want to know! Jarrett: Just relax Brenda. There was a lot involved in this. I needed time to think and yes I will sign the match. The Grapplers will wrestle the Road Warriors at the Jackson Coliseum on Saturday October 17th. There will be extra security on hand that night.... Cheers as the Grapplers come out! Grappler 1: You did the right thing Jarrett and you wont need extra security because the Grapplers will handle the Road Warriors! Grappler 2: That's right! Road Warriors! We're coming for you boys! Brenda: (SCREAMS) Jarrett gets away as the Lone Stars run out and attack the Grapplers! They put the boots to them. Deaton chokes Grappler 1 with his bull rope as Young slams Grappler 2 then starts kicking Grappler 1 while Deaton chokes him! Prelim wrestlers run out to break it up. The Lone Stars get in a few more shots before leaving. As the wrestlers tend to the Grapplers, Brenda picks up her mic. Brenda: You boys have more to worry about. (Deep breath) Until next week toooodles. Commercial Break "The Surge" Scott Doring vs. Carl Kellerman Doring comes to the ring and the fans are impressed with his muscled powerhouse look. The bell rings, Doring clotheslines Carl, picks him up, swings him to the ropes and hits a powerslam for the quick win! Lance: What a debut for the Surge Scott Doring. He might of just set a USWA record for the fastest pin. I'm going to get a word with him. Lance walks over but Doring just looks at him and walks away then pushes the camera out of his way. Lance: It looks like he wasn't in the mood to talk tonight. Well fans as you know on Saturday Night, December 5th, the USWA will present it's biggest event of the year, WrestleStorm 2. Many cities have been vying to host the spectacular event. It's my privilege to announce that WrestleStorm 2 will take place at the Mid South Coliseum in Memphis Tennessee. Now don't you fans worry because the event will be broadcasted on closed circuit at all of the USWA arenas. What a tremendous night that will be. Commercial Break "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich vs. Scott Franks Tommy Rich is on commentary with Lance as Johnny works Scott over. Johnny's head is bandaged up from his matches with Borne and Oliver. Johnny picks Franks up and hits a Snake Eyes on the top turnbuckle to win the match. Boos as Johnny joins his cousin at the podium. Tommy: Great job Johnny! You know something Lance. Jerry Jarrett is a jerk for what he did. Johnny hadn't been in the ring for months and Jerk Jarrett reinstates him and immediately puts him in the ring with those boneheads Borne and Oliver. No tune ups or anything. Well listen up Jerk. Johnny is tuned up and ready to go. The Rich's are stronger than ever and those two boneheads better be ready because we're going to finish what we started. Johnny: You boys are going to get a first class Rich beating! Commercial Break Lance: Fans, I've just been informed that next week's main event will be Karachi Vice defending the USWA Tag Titles against The Sweet Ebony Express! Wow what a main event. Now before we get to tonight's main event I want to speak with Carlos Colon. Carlos, Goldie Rogers went for the bounty but came up short. Are you worried about others who might collect on Tiger Jeet Singh's bounty? Colon: I must admit this isn't how I want things to be. It's not fun always looking over my shoulder. However, that coward Tiger Jeet Singh will not get rid of me. I don't care who tries to collect. I will be ready for anything and anybody who is thinking about collecting better think twice! Lance: Carlos Colon everybody. Our main event when we come back. Commercial Break "True Grit" Mike George w/"Bulldog" Bob Brown vs. Central States 6-Man Champ David Sammartino w/Arnold Skaaland All the Elite members are present. The fans cheer as the Ref tells Gagne and Hart they must go. Skaaland and the Elite throw a fit. Sammartino laughs as he points over at George then assures his friends he's got this. Gagne and Hart agree as they laugh at George, then hug Sammartino before exiting. Brown is pointing and warning Skaaland but Skaaland just waves him off and goes to the outside. The bell rings and Sammartino is still laughing at George. They lock up and George arm drags him over. An irate Sammartino gets up and charges but George hip tosses him over. Sammartino charges again but George back drops him! Sammartino rolls out of the ring as the fans cheer. Skaaland runs over to calm Sammartino down. Sammartino pounds on the apron with his fists. Sammartino gets back in the ring. They lock up and George pushes Sammartino to the ropes. The Ref calls for a break. During the break, Sammartino rakes the eyes then drags George's face across the ropes. Sammartino chokes George on the top rope then flings him back. Sammartino picks up George and slams him down, then hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a knee 1..2..Kick Out. Sammartino and Skaaland berate the Ref. Skaaland hops on the apron but Brown runs over, yanks him down and warns him. Skaaland backs off. Sammartino rakes his boot across George's face then stomps away. Sammartino picks up George and swings him into the corner and charges in but George lifts his boot and nails Sammartino in the face. George regroups. George picks up Sammartino and suplexes him back. George swings off the ropes and hits an elbow drop 1..2..Skaaland reaches in and puts Sammartino's foot on the rope. Brown runs over and puts Skaaland down with a punch. George picks Sammartino up and Atomic Drops him into the turnbuckles. Sammartino hits hard and staggers back as George grabs him and hits a Russian Leg Sweep 1..2..3!! Massive pop! Brown runs in and raises George's arm as the fans cheer. Commercial Break Lance: Mike George gets a huge win over David Sammartino... Skaaland and the Elite storm over. Sammartino is still reeling and Skaaland is in a daze. Hart: Mike George you're the luckiest man alive! Next week, you and me! Gagne: And Bob Brown, don't you ever put your hands on Arnold again! Elite walk off helping David and Arnold. Lance: Ok, looks like another member of the Elite want a crack at Mike George. Fans, I'll see you on Thursday Night for the special presentation of the Empty Arena match between Jerry Lawler and Terry Funk. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous about this. See you then.

USWA releases Goldie Rogers and picks up Moose Morowski

Loved the hype for Rocket City Rampage! Tully vs. Bullet for the NWA title will no doubt draw a huge crowd. Candyman puts the fun aside and gets a little more focused as he gets ready for Big Bubba and possibly another shot at Stomper. Yea, the Dream Team moniker is perfect for Fuller and Golden. Luscious Johnny has some disparaging remarks for brother Jimmy. This trio is going to attract a ton of heat. Butch Moffat is the surprise of the night hahahaha! Things get serious as KAMALA shows up and destroys the Bullet. Twin States is the right place for a monster like Kamala. Cant wait to find out who Cooley's new partner will be. Things get crazy between the Sawyers and Nightmares! That stretcher match is going to be insane! WOW! Blackjack Mulligan has arrived and is thrown into the main event spot. Carson and Stomper better be ready. Mulligan is a great foe to all the monsters here. On to Rocket Rampage, You know this is going to be a great event when a steel cage opens the show. After a good chase, Scott finally gets the strap off Bota. Damn, Cooley sure picked the right partner with Brad Armstrong! Candyman wins the Battle of the Bulge match. Love that title btw. Candyman just might of earned himself another title shot. Jimmy Valiant goes down the hard way! That was one brutal spike piledriver by the Dream team. Violent Gentlemen retain but then get involved in a post match fight with the Dream Team. Busy night for Fuller and Golden. You know they're hated if Dundee and Barnes were getting cheered. Thanks to Carson, Stomper escapes with the title but I'm sure this fight has only just begun. And one thing we know about Mulligan is he isn't afraid to fight. I knew the stretcher match would be a wild one but that finish was crazy. Sawyers win in a big way. Bullet Bob plays it smart and doesn't compete but the fans sure got their money's worth with a Tully/Brad title bout. Very impressing showing for Brad as he takes the champ pass the 45 minute mark. Brad is defiantly a made man. Awesome show! Can't wait to see the fall out.

I'm all for a hard hitting feud between Bad News and The Man with the Hands of Stone! Looks like Madril and Herc are trying to make life miserable for Chicky. They better watch out because I'm sure Chicky will have something up his sleeve. Hogan and Piper vs. The Pringle Dynasty is off to a great start. This will be a money making headlining feud. Love the Second Sons name. Abby and Link continue to tear it up! I think Link has found himself a lady friend. This is why I love the TV title lottery. So much intrigue. Props to you for giving us a match and not making Krusher take a dive. Even though Ivan ended up winning, Krusher gave him quite the scare. Blockbuster TV main event! Great match and we have NEW tag team champs in the Fabulous Ones! Jannetty took a brutal (accidental) guitar shot from Michaels. I wonder how the Rockers will rebound. Once again, outstanding job!

USWA House Shows 9-26 to 9-30 Johnson City Memorial Center, Louisville Gardens, Rupp Arena The Super Samoans w/Leilani Kai vs. The Technicians Very hard hitting match to start the show. As the Ref was guiding Roop back to his corner, Kai trips Rheingans and he stumbles into a Samoan Drop by Sakalia for the pin! Masanobu Fuchi vs. Nick Kiniski w/Kevin Kelly Kelly and his new partner Kiniski did a number on Yoshiaki Yatsu so it's only fitting Fuchi is Kiniski's opponent tonight. Kiniski's chest is beet red after Fuchi tears it up with palm strikes. Kelly cant take it anymore and runs in the ring to attack Fuchi. The Ref signals for the DQ. The Magnificent Ones do another double team job then leave to thundering boos. Porkchop Cash vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Flowers gets a lot of heat as he antagonizes the fans throughout the match. Flowers controls a majority of the match. He makes the mistake of arguing to long with the Ref. When he turns around, Cash swings off the ropes and nails him with the cross body/headbutt for the win! Central States 6-Man Title Bout The Elite (C) w/Arnold Skaaland vs. The RPMS and "The Electrifying" Ben Bassarab Pretty exciting match as both teams are on their A game tonight. At the 20 minute mark the Ref takes a bump. Bassarab hits a flying leg drop on Hart and has him covered. From out of the crowd, the CEOs (wearing suits) hit the ring and attack the RPMS! The CEOs double DDT both RPMS then head out. The Elite throw Bassarab out of the ring, then help the Ref up. Gagne covers Davis as the Ref counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOOO "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. "The Real Deal" Ripper Morgan w/Leilani Kai I'm sure Leilani Kai wants some revenge on Afi after he won the feud with Tui Selinga. Afi takes the fight to Morgan with slams, headbutts and chops. A frustrated Kai sets Morgan's chain on the apron then hops up and distracts the Ref. Afi goes over as Morgan picks up the chain. With Kai still distracting the Ref, Afi is nailed from behind with the chain. Morgan tosses the chain then drops a knee on Afi. The Ref turns around and counts 1..2..3! Bounty Match Carlos Colon vs. Goldie Rogers Goldie seems very confident as he struts around the ring. The fans go wild as Colon runs to the ring and unloads on Rogers! Colon is merciless as he gives Rogers the beating of his life before making him submit to the figure four! Tiger Jeet Singh might need to raise the bounty. USWA Tag Team Title Bout Karachi Vice (C) vs. The Sweet Ebony Express Express are on fire early as Norvell puts the fists to Karachi Vice while Sugar frustrates them with his high flying offense. Karachi Vice comes back and controls the segment with cohesive teamwork along with breaking a number of rules. Tide turns again as Norvell cleans house. Norvell knocks Makhan off the apron then slams Gama down. Norvell tags in Sugar. Sugar goes to the top. Gama staggers up and Sugar nails him with the missile dropkick 1..2..Makhan breaks it. Norvell unloads on Makhan. The Ref guides Norvell back to his corner. Makhan drops a leg on Sugar's head then drapes Gama over him. The Ref runs over 1..2..NO! Norvell drops an elbow on Gama. Makhan runs over but Norvell is up and pummels Makhan as the bell rings. Time has expired. A DRAW! After a minute, Karachi Vice try to attack the Express from behind but the Express were ready and knock the champs out of the ring! Central States Title Bout Dr. Dream Machine (C) vs. "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson DJ has earned himself some Central States title matches on the loop and has impressed a lot of fans by nearly winning the title on several occasions. Tonight is no different as the crowd is sensing a title change. At the 15 minute mark DJ is making a thundering comeback. DJ hammers away on Dream, swings him to the ropes and clotheslines him down. While DJ is climbing the ropes, Dream reaches in his tights and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. Dream staggers up. DJ comes flying with his shoulder block but Dream punches him in the air with the brass knuckles! DJ goes down. Dream just falls on top 1..2..3! Dream retains. Matt Borne and Rip Oliver vs. Tommy "Wildfire" Rich and "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich What a main event! These guys give the fans one epic fight. Johnny gets the worst of it as his head is a bloody mess by the 10 minute mark. By the 45 minute mark, everybody is bleeding. Oliver has Johnny in the corner, hops on the middle ropes and just unloads on Johnny's bloody head as the fans count along. Tommy runs in and hits Oliver from behind. Borne runs in and him and Tommy end up fighting through the ropes. Tommy cheap shots Borne then grabs a chair but Borne runs over and tackles him. Borne grabs the chair and blasts Tommy over the head! Inside the ring, Oliver slams Johnny. Borne runs up the ropes and crashes down on Johnny with the Bombs Away! Borne picks up Johnny and holds him while Oliver comes off the top rope with a flying clothesline 1..2..3! BIG POP!

I'm so glad you're back in the game! All-Star Wrestling is a must see show every week. Dusek laying down the law! What a match to open the show. Action packed. I like S&S but the Highwaymen are one of my favorites so I'm glad they advanced. I was happy you picked up Estrada. I love this guy LOL. He's working a great gimmick here and he should do well in Texas. HAHAHAHAHA! Los Fabulosas Machines! This is getting better and better. The comedy is gold but man they get the job done in the ring. Big win over Adias and Lance. The promo had me rolling! Ennnhh...Dos LOL that last line sealed the deal. Black Bart sure has some tough back up in Mike Miller. Another great tournament match as the Gunslingers defeat Devastation Inc! Certainly ends the show on a high note. Akbar didn't look to happy with Khan. It's down to the final 3. Next week is going to be awesome!

USWA TV @ The Civic Center Knoxville TN 9-25-85 Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of USWA wrestling here on the USA Network. Big show lined up as Tony St. Clair defends his TV title against Duke Myers, Central States Champ, Dr. Dream Machine will be in action. Kevin Kelly goes one on one with Yoshiaki Yatsu. The hard hitting team of Matt Borne and Rip Oliver will be in the ring. And Mike George makes his long awaited in ring return. All that and a lot more. Last week we heard Jerry Lawler challenge Terry Funk to a non sanctioned match in an empty arena. Terry Funk said he wouldn't fight Lawler unless the title was on the line. Well, earlier in the week Lawler gave his response and here it is. Jerry Lawler is at his home wearing a neck brace. Lawler: You know, I knew Terry Funk being the coward that he is would come up with an excuse. Well Funk, I'll tell you what. You accept this challenge to fight me and if you manage to beat me, then not only will I give you a title shot but I'll let you pick the stipulation. I wouldn't get to excited. Fair warning Funk, if you show up for the fight, there is no way you're coming out on top. It's payback time! Back Live Lance: Fans, I've been told that Terry Funk has accepted the challenge. On that note I want to bring out the owner of the USWA, Jerry Jarrett. Jarrett walks out and shakes Lance's hand. Jarrett: Thank you Lance. As you know I will not sanction this match because Jerry Lawler has yet to be medically cleared for action. Once again, to be clear this match will be a NON sanctioned match. However, the USA network wants to present this match as a televised special. They will take full responsibility and will make certain trainers and EMTs will be on standby outside the building. The match will be shown on Thursday October 9th at 8pm from the Roanne Fieldhouse. The only people that will be inside the arena that night will be Lawler, Funk, the cameraman, a referee and you Lance. The Ref's only job will be to declare a winner. And as Lawler mentioned, if Funk wins, then he will get a USWA title shot and pick the stipulation. Lance, I think we both agree this isn't a good idea but.... Boos as Terry Funk storms out. Funk: Lance, I told you and all these idiots that I was smarter than Lawler and this proves it. It was just to easy. Jerry "The Jackass" Lawler is the stupidest man alive. Jerry Jarrett, listen up and listen closely. After I get through with Lawler there will be nothing left of him. He wont be able to defend the title against me at a later date. So when that happens the title will be forfeited to me...right? Jarrett: It would appear so. If that did indeed happens. Funk: You see! It's all coming together. Lawler! On October 8th we might be in an empty arena but millions of viewers are going to watch me beat the hell out of you. I'm going to put you down like the dirty egg sucking dog that you are! Finally! Finally, I get to finish off that jackass once and for all! And then I will reign supreme as the USWA champion! Funk storms off as Jarrett and Lance are left speechless. Commercial Break Corporal Kirchner vs. Vic Dutro Kirchner is in full patriotic mode as he waves the American Flag to the cheering fans. Kirchner hits Dutro will a short arm clothesline then hoists him up and executes a Fireman's Carry Slam for the pin! Kirchner cuts a promo and says he'll be watching the TV title match very closely and wants a shot with the winner. Commercial Break The Super Samoans w/Leilani Kai vs. Trent Watkins and Sam Smith Samoans just destroy their opponents. The end comes when Sakalia hits a Samoan Drop on Watkins, then tags in Tui. Tui hits a flying elbow off the top rope for the pin! Smith runs in to help his partner. Kai instructs her men to do damage. They hammer away on Smith, swing him to the ropes and put him down with a double superkick! Kai cuts a promo and reminds everybody that even a superb wrestling team like the Technicians can't compete with what everybody just saw! Commercial Break Footage from a house show is shown as Goldie Rogers attacks Carlos Colon during his Central States title match with Dr. Dream Machine. Goldie Rogers vs. Willie Lopez Rogers spends a lot of time yelling at the fans while choking Lopez. Rogers slams Lopez then hops on the middle ropes and comes down with a double stomp to the mid section for the pin. Boos as Rogers struts to the podium. Lance: Well it looks like Goldie Rogers is back and I'm pretty sure why you're here. Rogers: It's simply. For the money Jack! Tiger Jeet Singh is offering up a lot of money to put Colon down and I'm just the man to do it. Colon! I'm coming for you and I'm coming to collect Jack! Lance: Ok, I understand that bounty match will take place this weekend. I don't think it will be as easy as Goldie thinks. We'll be right back. Commercial Break "The Japanese Fury" Yoshiaki Yatsu vs. "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly See saw match for the first few minutes as Yatsu uses some hard striking offense while Kelly pulls out his power. Kelly takes control with a cheap shot. Kelly hits a delayed vertical suplex but instead of covering he gives the fans a double bicep pose. Kelly picks up Yatsu and tries to clamp on his full nelson but Yatsu elbows him several times then swings him to the ropes and nails him with a kick to the mid section and follows with a gut wrench suplex. Yatsu picks up Kelly and is ready to give him the Sitout Powerbomb but somebody hits the ring and nails Yatsu from behind! The man stomps away and drops several elbows. The man helps Kelly up and they double team Yatsu. They double suplex him. Kelly clamps on the full nelson while the other man slaps Yatsu several times across the face. Kelly spins Yatsu around and tosses him across the ring. The fans boo as the two men head to the podium. Lance: Ok, I know who this man is... Kelly: (Smiling) Hold on a second Lance. This man deserves a proper introduction and I'm going to give it to him. This man is Nick Kiniski! And this man is my new tag team partner! That's right. You're looking at the perfect combination. Nick Kiniski is a wrestling machine and with his skills along with my power we cant be beat. You people are looking at The Magnificent Ones! Kiniski: Kev, I'm so glad you called me. Together we're going to dominate the tag team division and we're going to get the gold baby! This is going to be...magnificent! Kelly: Ha Ha! I love it! See ya Lance. Lance: (pauses) I don't believe it. We'll be back Commercial Break The Technicians vs. Harold Helms and Todd Rooney Technicians put on a wrestling display then start working Rooney's shoulder. Roop executes a shoulder breaker then tags in Rheingans. Roop has Rooney in an arm bar as Rheingans comes off the top rope with a knee to the shoulder for the pin! Lance: A nice win for the team of Bob Roop and Brad Rheingans, come on over. I'm sure you've heard the challenge made by Leilani Kai and the Super Samoans. Rheingans: For some reason they've targeted us. Well that's ok because regardless of what they think, our skills will put them down. Roop: Not only do we have the wrestling skills but we can fight as well. And it looks like the Samoans are going to find that out. Bring them on! Commercial Break A commercial is shown with the Rolling Stones song "Gimmie Shelter" playing. The words WrestleStorm 2 flash across the screen. Lance: Fans, Saturday night December 5th, broadcasted on closed circuit TV throughout all the USWA arenas. The USWA will present its biggest event of the year WrestleStorm 2. Many cities have been vying to host this tremendous event. I'm pleased to say, next week we will announce the special location. Switching gears, at this time I would like to officially welcome our new affiliate in Texas, All-Star Wrestling. I know they have some good things going on down there and the USWA is very happy to be associated with them. Ok, let's go back to the ring for the return of Mike George. "True Grit" Mike George w/Bulldog Bob Brown vs. Roy Glader Brown is wearing a black sweatshirt with "True Grit" spelled on the back. George comes out wearing a black boxing robe with "True Grit" in yellow letters on the back. George has his hood up. Brown takes the hood back and gives George some words of encouragement. The bell rings and George is all over Glader. George back drops Glader then hoists him up and suplexes him back. George picks up Glader and atomic drops him into the turnbuckles. Glader hits hard and staggers back. George grabs him and executes a Russian Legsweep for the pin! The fans cheer as Brown runs in and holds up George's arm. They head to the podium. Lance: Mike, welcome back. Tremendous win. Bob, it looks like your training has really paid off. Bob: Mike George is going to show everybody what I already know. He's a winner! George: It was a long road but Bob brought me back and reminded me how much I love this sport. I... Boos as Arnold Skaaland and the Elite (Gagne, Hart, Sammartino) come out. All of them start clapping. Lance: Wait a minute. We don't want any trouble. This is Mike's time. Skaaland: Relax Lance. My 6-man Champions just wanted to come out and congratulate Mike on his return. More clapping, smiling and nodding by the Elite. Skaaland: And Bob, way to go. I mean I gave up on this loser, oh wait I'm sorry, this winner. (Elite start laughing) but you didn't. I mean you took this pathetic washed up has been and actually got him to win a match. You should get an award for that. He'll never be a champion like my men here but hey at least he's got some guts. Bob: Tell you what Arnie. How about one of your Elite take on Mike next week? I mean I just want to see if my guy can hang with an Elite wrestler. What do you say? Arnold and the Elite have a good laugh then huddle up. They all nod in agreement. Skaaland: Bob, you're on. Mike can have a match with David. David holds up his 6 man title in front of Mike and points to it. David: You sure you're ready for this? (Smiles) I would just hate to send you back into depression. (Yet another Elite group laugh) Mike: I don't know kid but let's just see what I can do. Skaaland: Yea you go get him Mike. Skaaland and the Elite walk out holding their titles high with extreme arrogance. Bob: Trust me Lance, my guy is ready. Commercial Break Matt Borne and Rip Oliver vs. Carl Kellerman and Ty Jenkins Oliver nails Jenkins with a forearm blast from the top rope then tags in Borne. Borne climbs to the top rope and hits the Bomb's Away for the easy pin! The fans cheer as they head to the podium. Lance: I know you boys are happy that Johnny Rich has been reinstated and I know you will lock up with the Rich's this weekend. Oliver: Good old Johnny Boy has been reluctant to get in the ring since he's been reinstated but now he's got to face the music. I've been waiting a long time for this! Borne: Rich boys! You're in a lot of trouble! These fists are going to put some dents in those heads of yours! Commercial Break Lance: Fans last week we heard Jerry Jarrett address the situation between the Road Warriors and Grapplers. MACW has suspended the Road Warriors but the Grapplers still want them in the ring. I understand next week Jerry Jarrett will once again address the situation. Speaking of tag teams... Boos as The CEOs come out wearing suits, sunglasses and carrying briefcases. Lance: Hold on, the RPMS were scheduled for this time not you. Crews: When your a CEO you don't need to schedule anything. People schedule appointments to speak with us not the other way around. Timbs: We run a multi billion dollar company and people want to hear what we have to say. They don't want to listen to a nickel and dime team like the RPMS. Crews: We already taught those petty punks a lesson and now that were done with those underachievers it's time we get some gold. WHAM!!! The RPMS come out and unload on the CEOs! The sunglasses and briefcases go flying as the RPMs hammer away on the CEOs. The RPMs rip off the CEOs suit jackets and choke them with them. The fans cheer as the RPMs pick up the sunglasses and put them on then strut out of there. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the pink "Beauty Shop" sign then pans down on Brenda Britton. Brenda: Hi everybody and welcome once again to the highest rated segment in wrestling, the beauty shop. My guests tonight are the number one contenders to the USWA tag team titles. Please welcome to my show the Sweet Ebony Express. Big pop as Sugar and Norvell come out with focused looks. Brenda: Now right off the bat, I have to say I don't think you guys are ready for the Karachi Vice. Last week they obliterated you on national TV. Do you really know what you're dealing with? Sugar: Hey! Karachi Vice wants to get down! They want to get ruthless! Well Brenda baby, the Sweet Ebony Express are ready to get down and ruthless! Norvell: They did a job on us yea but they attacked from behind. They wont be able to handle what we got in store for them. No way! No how! Karachi Vice! We're coming after you! Sugar: And we're coming for the titles! Brenda: Alright, there you have it. Not my best guests but at least they have some energy. I think the Karachi Vice are going to remain champions. You heard it here first. Until next week toooooodles! Commercial Break There's a scene by a swimming pool. Several ladies are rubbing lotion on a man. The man takes off his hat and sunglasses, smiles and looks into the camera. "It's great to be the Vin Man Vinnie Valentino...Yea!" Back to the arena Central States Champ Dr. Dream Machine vs. Michael Paul Dream squashes Paul and finishes him off with 3 consecutive elbow drops for the pin! Lance: Another win for Dream holds his title in front of Lance's face. Dream: Another great win for Dr. Dream Machine babay! Oh Lance, I've been on such a roll since I sent Dicky Boy Slater packing! Lance: Dick Slater is currently on a tour in Japan. Dream: A tour? That boy is running so scared he had to travel across the world to be away from me. I gave Dicky boy the whip'n of his pathetic life and trust me, he'll never show his ugly face here again! And for anybody who wants to try and take this Central States title, well just remember what I did to Dicky Boy. Lance: I wish I knew what went on inside that mask of his. Our TV title match when we return. Commercial Break TV Title Bout Tony "Simply the Best" St. Clair (C) w/Les Thornton vs. Duke Myers Tony starts off with a few arm drags and hip tosses.

I liked the series of matches in Eugene. Zenk and Mando is the type of opener that would totally fire the crowd up. Man, both Taylor and Adams are on a roll. Muta vs. Snuka to me is the most intriguing match on the card. For some reason I just loved this booking. Moonsault vs. Superfly Splash. Moonsault wins tonight. Thundercats are on a bit of a losing streak but if there's one thing I've learned about Pacific, is never count anybody out. I do love the Boone/Fernandez pairing and I told you what a great name Cabin Fever is. Nothing like a wild 6 man tag and with these 6 men involved we knew it would be just that. Bam Bam is back and gets the decisive pin on Jake. British Steel are going places but right now they're gaining some valuable experience and the Guerreros will give them a lot of that. Outstanding main event. Perez proves his title win was no fluke. These guys have been putting on some classic matches and their feud has been top notch.

Good follow up from Firestorm. Hot Stuff wants to prove he's ready for a title shot. He proves it as he overcomes the power of the Anvil. Taylor and Adams teaming up as heels is awesome! These guys along with Hart can have a pretty dominant run. They get a nice win over the Thundercats. Seeing Billy Jack with the Playboy Club is so bizarre but that's what makes this such a great story. This is going to be a lot of fun to follow. I gave you props for what you did with Busick. Things just got way better with the teaming of Busick and Bam Bam! These guys are just meant to be a team. I think they're going to get some gold. Tatum and the Vice Squad do a number on Texas Red. I think Red is going to dismantle them one by one. To the Coliseum, Southern Boys get some payback and their biggest win to date. Gary Hart has Taylor and Adams rejuvenated. Badd Co. get the win tonight but things might be different when Anvil gets healthy. Gordy bounces back from his title loss and it's only a matter of time before he gets a rematch. Despite their differences, Rose and Billy Jack are a pretty damn good team. Credit to Steamboat for keeping his word and gives Hot Stuff a promised title shot. To bad it was ruined by the interference. I have a feeling there will be more to this.

What I love most about Twin States TV is you never know what's going to happen LOL. Loved the 2 segment angle involving Luscious Johnny, Brisco, Jimmy Valiant, Golden and Fuller. This was fun TV. With all these crazy characters the one who made me laugh the most was Brisco and the way he responded to everything. Liked the Violent Gentlemen's promo. They would be a fun heat magnet team to go around the loops as NWA tag champs. Huge 20 man battle royal on free TV! YES! Lot's of good stuff here including the Nightmares playing games with the Sawyers. Candyman gets the big rub and earns himself a title shot! To the Farm Center, I laughed at Fergie's meltdown. There's just something about this guy that makes writing for him so much fun. Looks like Nelson Royal is on the heel side. Poor Oates, I couldn't imagine having to go up against 3 other masked teams. Nightmare 3 and Assassin 3 as a team just works here LOL. Cooley gets the win but that chisel gets him afterwards. Cooley and Strong are heading into a blood feud. Nightmares and Sawyers seem to be just getting warmed up. The Gulf Coast Title is just made for Bullet Bob. Chaos in the tag title bout as Luscious Johnny ends up with Fuller and Golden. We might have a brother vs. brother feud coming. Huge title defense for Stomper as he puts down Candy with the big boot to retain. To Jackson, Oh man, Strong really did a number on Cooley as Welch had to sub. Didn't take long for Luscious Johnny to get back into his heel ways as he helps Fuller and Golden defeat the Invaders. Nightmares and Sawyers are getting bloody. Damn, that fight alone would of been worth the admission. Oh no, I wonder what Wright's surprise for Armstrong will be? I'll defiantly be tuning in next week to find out. The fans get a treat with an NWA tag title bout. The cohesive unit of Williams and Dibiase retain. I'm sure the Violent Gentlemen will have something to say about this. Great stuff Gene!

USWA House Shows 9-20 to 9-24 Roanne Fieldhouse, Mackey Arena, Indiana State College Arena Masanobu Fuchi defeats Trent Watkins with a bridging back suplex Corporal Kirchner defeated "The Vin Man" Vinnie Valentino with the Fallaway Slam The Rock N Roll RPMs and The CEO's battled to a 10 minute draw and continued fighting after the match. "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi defeated "Central States 6-Man Champ" Bruce Hart w/Arnold Skaaland. Skaaland tried to interfere but Siva knocked their heads together and followed with a jumping headbutt on Hart. "The Real Deal" Ripper Morgan w/Leilani Kai defeated Sunny War Cloud. Kai distracted Sunny and when he turned around Morgan nailed him with a big boot to the head. The Lone Stars defeated The Grapplers by DQ. As soon as the bell rang the Grapplers were all over the Lone Stars and wouldn't let the Ref get control. Finally the Ref called for the DQ. Terry Funk defeated Porkchop Cash. The Ref took a bump, Terry hit Cash with a chair then followed with a piledriver to get the win. Central States Title Bout Carlos Colon defeated Dr. Dream Machine (C) by DQ. Colon had Dream in the figure four when GOLDIE ROGERS hit the ring and attacked Colon! It appears the word has spread about the bounty Tiger Jeet Singh placed on Carlos Colon. Matt Borne/Rip Oliver and "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson defeated Tommy "Wildfire" Rich/"The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich and "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly Johnny spent most of the match avoiding the action. In the end a pier six brawl breaks out. Oliver and Borne send Tommy out of the ring. Johnny is against the ropes begging for mercy as Borne and Oliver smile and walk towards him. The fans go crazy when Borne and Oliver get in some good shots but from the outside, Tommy yanks Johnny down, pulls him out of the ring and quickly takes him to the back. After that, DJ gets the pin on Kelly with the flying shoulder block from the top rope.

Oh man wrestling is defiantly back in Texas! Love the Black Bart opening. This really sets him up as a big deal. Plus I like the different spin of him being a good guy. Well, more like an anti hero LOL. HAHAHAHA! I had a lot of fun with Regal and Donovan but man you took their comedy to another level. The masked gimmick was hilarious and their post match promo was comedic gold. Even Marc Lowrance almost broke character. This is so good! Oh btw, that picture had me rolling! HAHAHA! Good job playing on Gaylord's football background. Great way to get him over. If you're going to bring wrestling back to Texas then you have to include Skandor Akbar. Akbar sets the tone quick with his team of Khan and Duk. Devastation Inc. is off to a great start with that annihilation of the Battens. Akbar gives us another surprise with...The Spoiler! Another pleasant surprise as Sunshine arrives and brings in the Gunslingers! I liked what you did with them in the WWF so I'm happy they're working in their home state of Texas. Good grief! The main event ends in CHAOS! Pure craziness with Bart, Brooks, Sunshine, Duo, Gunslingers and then Devastation Inc, SS, Adias, Lance and Mean Mike Miller! Nobody is safe in Texas! I like that all these guys have their hands in something and we'll get a variety of matches going forward. I'm hooked and can't wait for the next show!

I was really looking forward to Firestorm and man it was well worth the wait! The build up was amazing and this huge event delivered some awesome pay offs. Things get going quick as the Playboy Club out brawl the Dog Pound. Hart Foundation get the tainted win but Badd Co. keeps the fight going. British Steel pulls off the upset of the night with a big win over Flamboyance. I know the fans weren't happy but I like the heel Guerreros regaining the Golden State titles. The Guerreros can really take things to another level in Pacific. Muta is born! Action packed 6 man match and of course Muta hits the moonsault for the crowd popping win! I wonder what Gary Hart is planning next? With that result, it looks like the Zenk/Rotunda-Jake/Waylon feud has only just begun. I sure want to see more. Another upset as Perez defeats Orton for the CA title!!! I call it an upset because Orton had such a strong hold on the title. Perez was always one of my favorites so I'm looking forward to his reign. Boone really took the fight to Red. It took a heck of a lot to put Boone down but Red finally does it to retain. I wonder who can defeat Red? This guy has quite a streak going LOL. The young Southern Boys put up a valiant effort but the Freebirds experience wins in the end. NEW TAG CHAMPS! I can't believe it happened but Playboy Rose and Billy Jack Haynes have won the titles! What a pair. This team will get so over in Portland. Money! The Warlords put a beating and get the win on Burke but the ending is the story here as Bam Bam returns! I have got to see Bam Bam and Busick team up. Talk about a powerhouse team. Their battles with the Warlords will be wild! All that and now we get the main event title bout. This match is exactly how it would of played out. Great job. I liked Steamboat working Gordy's arm. Gordy was an absolute beast. In the end Steamboat pulls it all out and wins the title!!!!! Gordy had a tremendous run and will probably get some rematches but tonight belongs to the new champ Ricky Steamboat. Nice touch having Gilbert and Missy come out to congratulate him. Props to you and all your hard work you put into this incredible show! Cant wait to see what's next in Pacific.

USWA TV @ The Knoxville Civic Center 9-18-85 Footage is shown from last week of the Road Warriors destroying the TV set and then annihilating Super Steve O! A photo is taken a few days later of Steve O lying unconscious in a hospital bed. Show opens with a brand new set along with a new USWA banner hanging behind Lance and his podium. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of USWA wrestling here on the USA network. Big show lined up as we'll be hearing from the USWA champ Jerry Lawler who's still at home resting from his injuries at the hands of Terry Funk. I'll also be speaking with Terry Funk as well. Duke Myers and Timothy Flowers will wrestle for a TV title shot. A lot of action set for tonight but right now I want to bring in the owner of the USWA, Jerry Jarrett. Jerry, I know you have a lot to address so go right ahead. Jarrett: Thank you Lance. Last week we all witnessed one of the most shocking events ever to happen on television. Thanks to the Road Warriors we had to get a brand new set up and running in a hurry. I want to thank all those involved for their hard work in getting things up in such a short amount of time. Now, I have been in contact with the Crockett's and Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. They apologized profusely and assured me the Road Warriors would be suspended from MACW TV. What's done is done and it's now time to move on. There's an eruption from the crowd as the Grapplers head to the podium. Grappler 1: What's done is done? As far as we're concerned Mr. Jarrett, this has just begun! Sounds to me like you're giving the Road Warriors a pass. They came into our house and tore it up! No! We're not done! Grappler 2: That's right! Thanks to that idiot Steve O, people are still saying we cant get the better of the Road Warriors. No! We're not done by a long shot! Jarrett: Gentlemen, I know you're upset and believe me so was I. But I had a long talk with the Crockett's and we came to an agreement. Grapplers, it's time to move on. It's time to focus on the USWA. I'm asking you to please, let it go. Grappler 1: Jerry Jarrett! We can't do that! We want the Road Warriors! Grappler 2: You just make it happen! Grapplers leave. Jarrett looks a bit worried as Lance goes to a commercial. Commercial Break "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson vs. Trent Watkins DJ unleashes his power tonight and finishes things off with the flying shoulder block from the top rope! DJ cuts a promo and says now that his feud with Kevin Kelly is over, he's looking for some gold! Commercial Break "The Electrifying" Ben Bassarab vs. Vic Dutro Bassarab excites the fans with his high octane offense. Bassarab hits a snap suplex then goes to the top rope and crashes down with a flying leg drop for the pin! Commercial Break The Rolling Stones song "Gimmie Shelter" plays as WrestleStorm 2 flashes across the screen. Lance: Fans, Saturday December 5th, the USWA will present it's biggest event of the year, WrestleStorm 2. I told you last week several cities have been vying to host the event. I understand the lucky city will be chosen within 2 weeks. Stay tuned for that big announcement. Switching gears. I just got word that the Sweet Ebony Express have been named the number one contenders to the USWA tag team titles. They're set for action right now. The Sweet Ebony Express vs. Sam Smith and Willie Lopez Express are pumped up tonight and are gelling well. Norvell back drops Lopez then tags in Sugar. Sugar climbs to the top. Lopez staggers up and Sugar puts him down with a missile dropkick 1..2..3! The fans are up and cheering as the Express are celebrating. WHAM! Express are attacked by Karachi Vice! They hurl Norvell out of the ring. Makhan hits a body splash on Sugar. Gama applies the camel clutch! Norvell gets on the apron but Makhan knocks him down with a massive forearm blast! Gama releases the hold then slaps Sugar across his face. Thundering boos as Karachi Vice head to the podium. Lance: Alright, just what was that all about? I mean come on! Makhan: You shut your mouth Russell and just listen to what the great Gama has to say! Gama: That was simply a message. Those two showboating clowns need to know what they're dealing with. We are the most dominant champions in wrestling history! Nobody has come close to defeating us! Nobody! And do we get any recognition or credit? No! There is no team in the USWA that we consider competition. And that includes those two boys we just took out in the ring. What were there names? Makhan: Doesn't matter! (Holds up his title belt) We're the only team that matters here! Commercial Break Lance: Ok, I'm standing here with Les Thornton and his man, the TV champion Tony St. Clair. Gentlemen what are your thoughts on facing the winner of tonight's match between Duke Myers and Timothy Flowers next week for your TV title? Thornton: Lance, for 4 months now, Tony St. Clair has proven why he's simply the best. He's defeated every opponent that's stepped in the ring with him. Tonight's outcome is meaningless. Whoever wins will just be another domino Mr. St. Clair knocks down. St. Clair: I concur. My skills are far superior to any other wrestler that it's unfair. Nobody is even close to my league and next week one of those two poor souls will find that out. Oh and Corporal Kirchner, don't think I haven't been listening to your remarks. Thornton: Kirchner, Mr. St. Clair would love to teach a brawler like you a wrestling lesson. In a short while he will do just that. Good luck to you Duke Myers and you Timothy Flowers. The winner will defiantly need it next week. Lance: ok, there you have it. Back to the ring. Porkchop Cash vs. Todd Rooney Cash is feeling good tonight as he swings Rooney to the ropes and nails with a crossbody diving headbutt for the pin! Commercial Break Footage is shown from the Dunn Center as Leilani Kai introduces her new team the Super Samoans to the Medics. Samoans destroy the Medics and win the match. Lance: Ok, joining me now is Leilani Kai, Ripper Morgan and the Super Samoans. Ripper is huffing around as Kai yanks him back with the chain. Kai: I came here to run this place and to do that you can't have a weak link. The Medics were our weak link and now they're gone. Selinga and Sakalia the Super Samoans are going to take the tag team scene by storm! We want to start by taking down a pure wrestling team. I'm talking about the Technicians. We want to prove that no matter how much vast wrestling knowledge they have, they can't compete with my cohesive unit. Kai pulls Ripper back again. Kai: And where is Hercules Ayala? He's been MIA since Ripper gave him the beating of his life at Star Wars. Ayala found out that this beast is the real deal! Be smart Ayala and just stay home. Trust me, you don't want anymore of the true king of the mountain. Lance: A dangerous group indeed. Back to the ring. Sunny War Cloud vs. Michael Killian Sunny chops Killian in the corner then hip tosses him over. Sunny goes to the top rope. Killian staggers up and Sunny puts him down with a tomahawk chop for the win. The fans cheer as Sunny does a war dance and lets out a war cry. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the pink "Beauty Shop" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Brenda: Hi everybody and welcome to the highest rated segment in wrestling today, the Beauty Shop. My guests tonight are a couple of tough hombres. I'm talking about none other than Gary Young and Joel Deaton, the Lone Stars! Boos as the Lone Stars come out. Deaton is carrying his bull rope and Young is holding a badge. Brenda: It's great to have a couple of real tough guys on my show. Deaton: Brenda, it's great to be here and to show you how much we respect you, Gary has something he would like to give you. Young: Brenda, as you know the Lone Stars represent justice. Texas justice. This here is an honorary US marshal badge and I would like to bestow it on a terrific law abiding citizen that is you. Brenda: Oh my I'm flattered and honored. Young pins it on her. Young: That looks great! Brenda: Thank you guys so much. I'm so glad the USWA has a team that enforces the law around here. Deaton: Which brings us to our next point. Grapplers! You boys are a disgrace to the USWA! You let outsiders come in here and destroy the place! Now, the Lone Stars have taken it upon ourselves to administer justice on you two masked degenerates. Now I know why you wear masks...it's to hide your shame! Young: Get ready Grapplers cuz Texas justice is coming down on you! Brenda: Alright, once again the Beauty Shop is where it all happens. Until next week tooooodles. Commercial Break Tommy "Wildfire" Rich w/ "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich vs. Arnie Goldstein Tommy wins the match with the Thesz Press. Afterwards, Johnny runs in and puts the boots to Goldstein for the fun of it. The Rich's are still laughing when they arrive at the podium. Lance: Well boys, I have some news straight from Jerry Jarrett that might interest you. Jarrett heard the request of Matt Borne and Rip Oliver and thinks they're right. Johnny, since you like interfering so much, Jarrett has decided to reinstate you as a wrestler. The Rich's smiles turn to shocked speechless looks. Johnny: Wha..Wai...he, he, he can't do that! I'm a bodyguard now! Johnny puts his head down and covers his face. Tommy: This is a total abuse of power! He can't do this! Lance: Well he did and the two of you will be facing Borne and Oliver in a tag team match very shortly. Tommy: Jarrett! This isn't over! Don't worry Johnny, I'll take care of this. Tommy puts his arm around Johnny and leads him out. Lance: (Smiling) Looks like the Rich's are in for some comeuppance. Fans here's another look at the training of Mike George. A video is shown with The Chambers Brothers song "Time has come today" playing as Mike George is in serious training. Mike is lifting weights, running in the desert, and sparring in a run down ring. Bob Brown appears on screen. Brown: Next week, True Grit Mike George makes his return to the USWA and he's ready! The video ends with Mike George standing in the middle of the ring (wearing a black boxing robe with "True Grit" in yellow letters on the back) while the sun peaks through the dust. Commercial Break Carlos Colon vs. Gary Williams Colon looks sharp tonight as he executes a shin breaker, then finishes Williams off with the figure four! Colon pumps his fists to the cheering fans then heads to the podium. Lance: Impressive win Carlos. I hate to ruin your night but Tiger Jeet Singh has sent in some comments that I thought you might want to hear. Singh is standing with crutches. Singh: Colon! Look what you did to me! I want to tear you apart from limb to limb but I can't at this time. Consider yourself a lucky man but not to lucky. I want to see you suffer! I want pain inflicted on you! Right now I'm putting a 25,000 Dollar bounty on your head! This goes out to any wrestler in the world who puts Carlos Colon out of action! I want him begging for mercy but he is to have none! Colon! You are finished! Lance: I don't know what to say. Some very ominous words from Tiger Jeet Singh. Colon: (takes a moment) This does not surprise me at all. Singh is a coward! He couldn't get the job done so now he wants others to do his dirty work. Let me send this message. If anybody thinks they're going to collect on me, they are sadly mistaking. And it will be a big mistake if they try! The fans cheer as Colon holds up his fist! Lance: Ok, Carlos wont be intimated. Our main event when we come back. Commercial Break Winner gets a TV title shot next week Duke Myers vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers These guys have been feuding over the summer and it culminates tonight with a lot on the line. Myers is in the ring ready for action. Flowers gets in the ring wearing his studded robe and studded headband. He's yelling at the fans and doesn't hear the bell ring. Flowers turns around and Myers knocks his headband off and fires away. Myers tears Flowers robe off and then chokes him with it! The Ref gets control. Myers tosses the robe out of the ring. Myers swings Flowers to the ropes and puts him down with a back elbow smash. Myers follows with a big elbow drop 1..2..Kick Out. Flowers rolls out of the ring. Myers goes out after him.

Flowers drags Myers in and stomps down on him. Flowers picks up Myers and suplexes him back. Flowers hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a forearm drop 1..2..Kick Out! A frustrated Flowers chokes away on Myers. The Ref tries to break it and Flowers berates him. Flowers swings Myers to the ropes and flips him over with a knee to the mid section. Flowers picks up Myers and hits a rib breaker 1..2..Myers gets his shoulder up. An irate Flowers once again chokes Myers. Flowers picks up Myers and swings him into the turnbuckles and charges in but Myers runs forward and clotheslines Flowers down! Both men are trying to regroup. Both men stagger up, Myers grabs Flowers, hoists him up and delivers a Snake Eyes on the top turnbuckle. Flowers falls back and down. Myers hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a knee drop to the head 1..2..3!! Big Pop! The Ref raises Myers arm as Myers lifts both arms in sweet victory. Lance: Ok, Duke Myers certainly earned his shot at the TV title next week. That should be an outstanding match up. Also next week, Kevin Kelly will go one on one with Yoshiaki Yatsu. Mike George makes his long awaited return. Fans when we come back, we'll hear from the USWA champ Jerry "The King" Lawler. Commercial Break Footage from Star Wars is shown as Terry Funk piledrives Jerry Lawler on the ringside table! Jerry Lawler is at home sitting on his couch wearing a neck brace. Lawler: For two weeks now all I have thought about was Terry Funk. Every time I turn my neck it reminds me of Terry Funk. Terry you made the mistake of not finishing the job. Now, I haven't been cleared to wrestle and I shouldn't be but that wont stop me from a fight with you Funk. That's exactly what I want...A fight! You and me, non sanctioned and when I say just you and me, I mean it. Let's do this in an empty arena. Just us and a Ref. The Ref's only job is to announce the winner. Now Terry, do you have the guts? Lance: I can't believe what I just heard... Massive boos as Terry Funk storms out. Lance: Terry, you just heard the challenge. I'm not sure Lawler is thinking straight. Funk: Of course he isn't! The man is a jackass! Lance: Alright, come on Terry, watch the language please. Funk: That son of a (beep) is out of his mind! Lance has a look of disgust. Funk: I'm not going to fall for Lawler's trap. I'm smarter than he is. I said I was here for two reasons. To put Lawler out of wrestling and take what he loves most, the USWA title. I'm not going to fight Lawler because there's nothing in it for me. So you go tell that stupid jackass that unless the title is on the line, I'm not going to play his childish games. You tell him that Lance! Tell him that! Funk storms out. Lance: I'm actually relieved. I think Lawler should wait until he's cleared before taking on Terry Funk. Well fans, what a night this has been. I'll see you next week.

Bad news for the AWA as Allen puts everybody on notice! WOW! Al sets Chicky up as Hercules does a number on him. It is good to see Herc and Al together again LOL. However, I don't think Chicky is just going to let this go. Savage and Brody is one of the wildest and craziest teams this game has seen. I was excited Bravo's name came up for the TV title. The Russians sure know how to play the numbers game. It's going to be hard getting that title away from them. Save the best for last. This was one of those OMG wrestling moments as Hulk Hogan returns to help Roddy Piper! Oh my, the AWA has Savage and Brody together and now Hogan and Piper. Unbelievable! The AWA is clicking and it's only going to get better!

Things get going in a hurry as Don Carsen returns. What a set up! The Mongolian Stomper has arrived and Ron Fuller feels his wrath. Stomper is such a great fit here. Scott Armstrong is ready to set the Jr. division on fire. Really looking forward to the NWA champs coming into town. I'm glad you reunited Dundee and Barnes. These guys are so good. Big Bubba is literally making a splash in Twin States. Cooley and Mantell win the number 1 contender's match but thanks to Strong and Angel, Mantell might be out of the picture. What a shame! Bullet once again gets the best of Sawyer. The Nightmares are going to pay. On to the Farm Center, More heat to the Armstrong/Hamilton-Bota/TNT feud. I've told you before, but I'm really enjoying this feud. LOL, mask confusion running wild! Invaders, Assassins, Nightmare#3, Assassin #3, this is great stuff! The Candyman can! Big Bubba is moving on up after that BIG win over Humongous. Brisco and Valiant get the win over Fuller and Golden. This one caught me by surprise. Even with the good sportsmanship, I have a funny feeling there's going to be more to this. Mantell is out but Cooley couldn't of found a better replacement than Bullet Bob! I liked that Cooley got the pin here. Just a little thing like that gives him a pretty good rub. I knew Buzz would be coming back for payback, only thing is he didn't come alone. The Sawyers are back together! They're going to add so much to an already stacked tag team division. You have put together some outstanding teams. Shocking ending as Stomper just tears apart Fuller to win the title! In just one day, the Stomper is already one of the most over heels in the game. Awesome job!

Central States Title Bout Dr. Dream Machine (C) defeated "The Wrecking Machine" DJ Peterson.

The end came when DJ attempted his flying shoulder block from the top rope but Dream sideswiped him and followed with a leg drop to get the hard fought victory. USWA Tag Team Title Bout Karachi Vice (C) defeated The Rock N Roll RPMS. It was clear the RPMS were a bit worn down from defeating the Fabulous Blondes and then getting ambush by the CEOs on TV. RPMS put up a valiant effort but in the end Makhan hit a big splash on Davis and Gama followed with the Camel Clutch for the win. The RPMs will live to fight another day. The following match took place only at the Dunn Center with cameras rolling. The Medics w/Leilani Kai vs. A Mystery tag team Kai and the Medics wait in the ring. Kai grabs the mic and looks at the Medics. "I only employ winners with a killer instinct. After your blunder at Star Wars It sickens me just to look at you two. I do not associate with losers, so not only are we done but you will be facing my new tag team...The Super Samoans! The bell rings as Selinga and Sakalia hit the ring and attacked the Medics. The Medics are totally unprepared. The Samoans double superkick Medic 1 over the top rope. Tui climbs to the top rope. Sakalia executes a backbreaker on Medic 2 as Tui follows with an elbow drop from the top rope for the 1..2..3! Boos as Kai enters the ring and raises the Super Samoan's arms.

So great to have you back! USWA scored on this deal! Things are off and rolling as commissioner Dusek wastes no time in setting the tone with the tag team tournament. Even though they came up short, I like the teaming of veteran technician Robinson and younger technician Fleming. S&S are quite the team and will no doubt get over with the fans. I just watched the WCCW DVD again and this Mike Von Erich incident was talked about in great detail by Kevin. Very sad. Looking forward to Mike's return. I once met Alexis Smirnoff at an autograph signing and shook his hand. So I'm convinced he can easily put people away with the Russian Hammer. YES! The Highwaymen are back together! I love these guys. Hope they have a great Texas run. Big segment as the name Lance Von Erich debuts. I liked his explanation and background story. More big news as Texas favorite Brian Adias shows up and offers his services. Solid segment. HAHAHA! The funniest part of the show was Jack Victory being cut off with a commercial only to be still talking when we return. He's going to be a heat magnet here. Exciting main event. The feel good team of Adias and Lance advance. Things don't go so well for Black Bart. The Devil's Duo appears, aligns with Brooks to do a number on Bart. The Devil's Duo were a great territory heel team. I know you will do a great job with these guys. Awesome debut show! Things were just not the same in Texas without WCCW so it's cool that you're bringing that WCCW feel back.

I have to say, I've never seen such an evil act. I mean my goodness, you piledrove the man through a table. I understand he was released from the hospital yesterday and is resting at home. Just why did you do such a thing Terry? Funk: I told you and everybody else I came back to the USWA for two reasons, to put Lawler out of wrestling and take the USWA title. Well, you all saw what I did to Lawler so now I should be the champ. Go get my belt Lance! Lance: You didn't win the match Terry and you're lucky you haven't been suspended. Jerry Lawler is still the champ. Funk: That son of a (beep) doesn't deserve to be champ! Lance: Ok come on Terry, we're on TV and you need to watch your language in front of all these people. Funk: I don't give a damn about all these people! I deserve the USWA title and I deserve a lot of praise for finally ridding wrestling of an egg sucking dog like Lawler! This isn't over!

The CEOs (Crews and Timbs) hit the ring and ambush the RPMs! They hurl Lane out of the ring then pick up Davis and put him down with a double DDT! Commercial Break Lance: A lot just went down. The RPMs have sent the Fabulous Blondes packing but then were jumped by these two men. Ok, CEO's what was that all about? Crews: As you well know, one of our company's biggest investors is Brenda Britton. Timbs: And a couple weeks ago on her ratings bonanza of a show, those two classless jerks embarrassed her. Crews: Did they think they would get away with that? Brenda didn't even have to ask. We watch out for our investors. Timbs: And everybody better watch out for us! Lance: Ok, the CEOs have sent a message but I don't think the RPMs will be down for long. Back to the ring. "Champagne" Gerry Morrow vs. Trent Watkins It's all Morrow as he dominates Watkins then finishes him off with the Sleeper. Morrow heads to the podium with a bottle of champagne and a glass. Morrow: Lance, I'm going to give myself a proper toast because that lowlife soar loser Porkchop Cash deprived me of this at Star Wars. Morrow pours himself some champagne and drinks it. Morrow: AAAHHHH so good. Now you saw me once again defeat Porkchop Cash. That bum is not in my league so now it's time for bigger and better things. But first I'm going on a well deserved vacation. What is the point of having all the money that I have, if I can't have any fun? I hear Cabo is nice this time of the year. Lance, until we meet again. Lance: Well it must be nice. Fans, we'll be right back Commercial Break The Rolling Stones "Gimmie Shelter" plays as an add for WrestleStorm 2 appears on screen. Lance: Fans, Saturday night, December 5th, the USWA presents it's biggest event of the year, WrestleStorm 2. It will be shown on Closed Circuit TV throughout all the great USWA arenas. I understand many cities are vying to host the big event and I'll announce the location soon. Let's go to the ring. "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly vs. Todd Rooney Kelly is extra aggressive tonight as he slams, stomps and beats his opponent down. Kelly clamps on the full nelson and Watkins quickly submits. Kelly spins him around and throws him across the ring. The fans boo as Kelly gives them a double bicep pose. Commercial Break Corporal Kirchner vs. Roy Glader The fans are cheering as Kirchner walks around the ring waving the American Flag and high fiving the fans. Kirchner is fired up tonight as he hits a fallaway slam on Glader then finishes him off with a fireman's carry slam! Kirchner waves the flag as he heads to the podium. Lance: Ok, Corporal I know you're venturing in the single's world and it looks like you're off to a great start. Kirchner: Thank you Lance. I'm working hard and working my way up to a TV title shot. That's my goal and that's what I'm going to achieve! Kirchner waves the flag and heads out. Lance: The TV champ Tony St. Clair is coming off yet another title defense over Yoshiaki Yatsu at Star Wars. However, the competition is getting fierce. Next week Duke Myers will wrestle Timothy Flowers and the winner will get a TV title shot the following week. Should be a good one. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the "Beauty Shop" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody! I just wanted to tell you I'm in such a great mood tonight for two reasons. First, I want to thank the fearless CEOs for avenging me and showing those two punks what a real tag team can do. CEOs, call me, I have some more investments to make. Now, my guest tonight is the hottest commodity in wrestling. Making his first appearance since Star Wars and of course it had to be on my show. Please welcome out the new Central States Champion, Dr. Dream Machine! Boos as Dream Machine comes out bobbing his head up and down while pointing to the title around his waist. Brenda: It's certainly my privilege to have such an esteem and charismatic champion like you on my show. I'm so glad you put down that dirty Dick Slater. I understand he had to go to Japan for a tour. Sounds like he's running out of town with his tail between his legs. Dream: (Laughing) You see Brenda babay I knew you were a smart woman. You're right! I gave Dicky Boy the beating of his life at Star Wars and I walked out with this here Central States title! Not only that but I sent old Dicky Boy running for his life out of town. He doesn't want anymore of this babay! Brenda, I've got it all. I'm a certified Doctor. I'm the smartest man in wrestling and I'm the Central States Champion! Now, I doubt that coward Jerry Lawler will ever return to the ring...but if he did, I would take his title as well! Dr. Dream Machine is like rock n roll, I'm here to stay! Brenda: Well alright! My show is the highest rated segment in wrestling and it's because of guests like Dr. Dream Machine, your Central States Champion. Until next week, tooooodles. Commercial Break Another video is shown of Bob Brown training Mike George. Mike is in the ring performing a variety of wrestling moves on a sparring partner. Bob calls time and calls Mike over.

Get ready USWA because True Grit Mike George is coming back better than ever! Back Live Central States 6-Man Champs The Elite w/Arnold Skaaland vs. Sam Smith, Vic Dutro and William Hillman Pure showcase for the Elite. Gagne puts Dutro down with a high dropkick then tags in Hart. Hart hoists Dutro up and executes a gut wrench suplex. Hart picks up Dutro and tags in Sammartino. Hart swings Dutro to the ropes and Sammartino powerslams him over 1..2..3! The fans boo as Skaaland wipes each title with his towel before handing them to his men. Lance: Impressive win for your trio Arnold. Skaaland: Trio? You will refer to them as the Central States 6 Man Champions. They've earned it Lance. You saw their title defense last week on TV. There's not a as you would say trio that can defeat this unit. Lance: You might be right. Look, I have to ask, months ago you turned your back on Mike George. Have you been watching the videos? What do you think of Bob Brown getting him back on track? Gagne: Wait a minute! Mike George? Are you serious? Gagne just looks down while shaking his head. Hart: (Laughing) Wait, who is Mike George again? Sammartino: He's some has been or more accurately a never was. Everybody laughs. Lance: Ok wait a minute, the man is a former multi time Central States Champ. Skaaland: Why are we even talking about that loser? I gave up on him for a reason. He simply doesn't have it anymore. Never really did. Hey if Bob the clown Brown wants to get his man in the ring with one of my Elite then we would be more than happy to humiliate him with a wrestling lesson. Heck, I wont even need my towel because none of my men would even break a sweat wrestling that washed up never was. They all laugh then hold up their titles as the fans boo. Commercial Break Lance: Fans, at Star Wars Carlos Colon and Tiger Jeet Singh were involved in a wild and bloody match. The match ended in a double c.o. but afterwards Singh tried to use his sword but Colon got it and tore into Singh's leg before making him pass out with the figure four. I understand next week we'll hear comments from Tiger Jeet Singh. Should be interesting. Also next week, Leilani Kai will be here with Tui Selinga and the Medics to talk about what went down at Star Wars. Speaking of Star Wars and Leilani Kai, Ripper Morgan defeated Hercules Ayala with the help of his chain. I know Ayala is still recovering from that blow but should be back soon. Let's go to the ring as the man who defeated Tui Selinga at Star Wars is set for action. "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. Curtis Moore Siva nails Moore with a jumping headbutt that sends him against the ropes. Moore staggers into a big scoop slam. Siva goes to the top rope and crashes down with a diving headbutt for the pin! The fans cheer as Siva does a dance and flashes the "hang loose" sign. Lance: I know Siva is feeling pretty good about his win over Tui at Star Wars. Another big surprise at Star Wars was Matt Borne's shocking return to the USWA to help his friend Rip Oliver against the Rich's. Let's hear some prerecorded comments from Borne and Oliver. Oliver: Hey Tommy! Hey Johnny! How you boys doing? You know, I called up my old buddy Matt Borne and said Matt I could really use some help against the Rich's. Matt, thank you buddy! Oliver and Borne clasp hands. Borne: I didn't even have to think twice! I'm here and Rich's we're coming after you! As a matter of fact, we want a meeting with Jerry Jarrett and we want that gutless coward Johnny reinstated! Oliver: Yea, since he wants to get involved so much, well we'd like to give him the opportunity. Borne: And let's just see who the better men are! Commercial Break Lance: Ok fans, it's time for our huge main event. This has been heating up since the Crockett Cup, so this should be a barnburner of a match. Let's go to the ring. The Road Warriors w/Paul Ellering vs. The Grapplers Lance is right, this is a barnburner! As soon as the bell rings both teams go at it! They're brawling for awhile until the Road Warriors get the upper hand. They swing the Grapplers into each other. Grapplers bounce off each other and turn around only to be put down by clotheslines. Grappler 2 rolls to his corner as the Ref gets Hawk to his. Animal picks up Grappler 1, presses him over his head and slams him down. Ellering cheers Animal on while waving around his Wall Street Journal. Grappler 1 staggers up and Animal mows him over with a shoulder block. Animal picks up Grappler 1, Hawk sticks his boot out and Animal slams Grappler's 1 head on the boot and tags in Hawk. Hawk swings Grappler 1 to the ropes and puts him down with a flying shoulder block then swings off the ropes and crashes down with a fist drop 1..2..Grappler 2 breaks it with a stomp. Animal runs in but the Ref stops him and guides him back. Hawk rises but Grappler 2 clips him behind the knee. Grappler 2 drags his partner to the corner and continues the match without making the tag. Ellering and Animal are yelling at the Ref. Grappler 2 stomps down on Hawk, picks him up and slams him down, then hops on the middle ropes and comes down with a foot stomp to the mid section. Grappler 2 picks up Hawk and delivers a backbreaker 1..2..Kick Out. Grappler 2 swings Hawk to the corner. Grappler 1 chokes Hawk while Grappler 2 kicks away then tags in Grappler 1. The Grapplers swing Hawk to the ropes and put him down with a double fist to the head 1..2..Animal breaks it. Grappler 2 charges but Animal clotheslines him down. Animal picks up Grappler 1 and slams him down before going back to his corner. Hawk and Grappler 1 stagger up and exchange fists. Hawk gets the upper hand, rakes the eyes and slams Grappler 1 then tags in Animal. Animal goes nuts and just beats down Grappler 1. Grappler 2 runs in but Animal sends him up and over with a back drop. Grappler 2 staggers up against the ropes. Hawk runs in and clotheslines him over the top rope. The Road Warriors hammer away on Grappler 1. Hawk goes outside and climbs the top rope. Animal is ready to hoist Grappler 1 on his shoulders. Wait a minute! SUPER STEVE O comes out (wearing his T-Shirt with the Superman symbol) with a chair and blasts Paul Ellering across the back! Animal sees this and drops Grappler 1. Hawk follows as they chase Steve O. The Ref starts the count. Hawk chases Steve O to the back while Animal is checking on Ellering. The Ref hits 10! The Grapplers win by C.O. The Grapplers are still wobbly as they help each other out of there. Animal isn't aware of what happened. When he helps Ellering up he then realizes what just happened and starts yelling at the Ref. Animal and Ellering point to the back and head out. Commercial Break Lance: Oh my that was certainly unexpected. I understand the Road Warriors and Ellering are livid and were causing a major ruckus in back. Security was needed and they have escorted them out of the building. Oh ok, well here he comes. Steve O, what in the world were you doing out here? Steve: Lance, I told you and all these people that I would protect them from those invading villains. Now in my book the Grapplers are villains as well but I will deal with them another time. My priority tonight was eliminating the biggest evil in wrestling, the Legion of Doom. There is no room in... Lance: Watch out! Lance runs out of there as the Road Warriors plow over Steve O! Ellering (still favoring his back) is telling the Road Warriors to finish him. They double slam Steve O on the concrete. Animal picks up the podium and slams it down. The podium explodes to pieces. Hawk grabs the USWA banner and rips it down! Security runs out but the Road Warriors punch them down one by one. The Road Warriors knock over tables, chairs and cameras! They go back to Steve O and throw him in the ring. Animal hoists him up as Hawk fly's off the top rope with a clothesline that flips Steve O over! Ellering says "Again!" Road Warriors set up and deliver another Doomsday Device! Ellering yells "One more!" Animal hoists a lifeless Steve O up and once again they deliver a Doomsday Device! Steve O is unconscious. The fans are in shock. The arena set is destroyed. The program ends as the Road Warriors and Ellering walk through the debris.

Superclash was a big success. I'm excited that this will be a quarterly event. Solid opener as Blue Demon continues to get over with the US fans. Embry does his job well. Sheepherders are going to be a force. I liked that Bock and Garvin were booked in a match together. Two top contending professionals going at it. Good call for a draw. Fun fast paced 6 man action as the Fabs and Martel get the better of HTM and the Rockers. I'm sure Sherri's men will want more. LOL, love how you're using Slinker. He's been great as Piper's first step towards destroying the Pringle Dynasty. Slinker trying to square things with Piper was hilarious. Abdullah and Link have been having some bloody brawls! Showing highlights of their matches with a warning makes it a big deal. Hennig and Hall retain. I hope these guys have a long reign. Chicky and Al seem to be at odds after their loss. Another 6 man tag but this one is an all out war! Movement came out looking dominant. Going to be hard putting these guys down. I mentioned I wanted to see Hall and Hennig with a long reign but they have some serious competition with The Movement, Sheepherders and Russians. The tag division is stacked. Great main event! This would of been huge in Japan. Tsuruta does pretty well as he takes Nikita off his game with some aggressive wrestling. In the end, nobody gets up from the Sickle! Nikita looks like a beast. Who's next?
