USWA TV @ The Civic Auditorium Knoxville TN 3-27-85 Show opens with footage from this past Tuesday at the Tyndall Armory as The Naturals defeat Bad Attitude for the Central States Tag Team Titles!! Lance Russell: Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another edition of USWA wrestling here on the USA Network. Last week in Houston, Bob Armstrong defeated Tully Blanchard to earn a shot at the USWA title however Armstrong was beaten up after the match by the Battan Twins. More on that later. Big show tonight as Bruce Hart will bring in a mystery partner to take on the Fabulous Blondes. Mike George and Art Crews known as The Club have agreed to face the debuting Karachi Vice. And in the main event Wendell Cooley will face Johnny Rich. We'll also be hearing from the USWA champ Nick Bockwinkel. Well you saw at the top of the program, The Naturals are the new Central States Tag Team Champs. So please welcome George Wells and Brian Adias your new Central States Tag Champs. Adias: Lance, what a great feeling! Wells: Exactly right! All our hard work has paid off. Thundering boos as Sonny King and The Movement come to the podium. Lance: Hold on a minute. King: I cant believe this! I really cant but why am I surprised. Once again politics come into play and who gets screwed over? We do! Lance: I don't know what you're talking about. King: Let me walk you through it. At Scores to Settle the Movement defeat the Naturals. Last week in Houston, the Movement defeat the Naturals. So who ends up getting a title shot? The Naturals! Who ends up winning the titles? The Naturals! Now do you see what I'm talking about? Listen up Jarrett... Lance: Just relax Sonny. Bad Attitude was signed to defend against the Naturals before your matches took place. Adias: Tell you what Sonny King, we'll make this simple. We'll be more than happy to put these titles on the line against your men next week at the Mid South Coliseum. King: Well, I didn't think you two had the guts. Ok, enjoy your reign because it's going to be a short one. Lance: Ok, that match will take place next weekend at the Mid South Coliseum. Let's get to the ring. "Chief" Joe Lightfoot vs. "The Patrolman" Dale Veasey These two have been wrestling on the house shows and make their televised debuts tonight. Competitive match as the tide turns several times. Veasey misses a clothesline and Lightfoot swings back with a flying press to get the 1..2..3! As Lightfoot celebrates with the fans, Veasey clotheslines him from behind and stomps away. Veasey goes out and gets a pair of handcuffs and cuffs Lightfoot to the ropes and proceeds to give him a beatdown! Commercial Break Lance: I cant believe the actions of Dale Veasey. Lightfoot had to be helped out of here. Before we... Carl Fergie and Gary Young come to the podium. Fergie: Listen up nerd! Bad Attitude was outright robbed of the Central States Tag Titles and the Naturals should be arrested for theft. Last week Matt Borne was injured during a match with the Grapplers. Then they were forced to defend the titles against the Naturals just 2 days later. The Naturals took advantage of an injured man and that's the only reason they're walking around with Bad Attitude's belts. As you can see Matt isn't here because he's badly injured but rest assured I'm not going to idly stand by. No way! And as for you Wendell Cooley, get ready because Johnny Rich is going to put a pounding on you tonight boy! Damn it! I'm furious! Lance: (Pauses) Let's go to the ring. Carlos Colon vs. Gary Williams Colon came up short in his quest for the USWA title and looks to get back in contention. Colon works over Williams and finishes him of with a diving clothesline from the top rope! Commercial Break Lance: Ok fans next weekend the USWA will hit the Mid South Coliseum with a big card. Along with the Central States tag title match, Jerry Lawler will make his return to face his current heated rival Adrian Adonis. Nick Bockwinkel was scheduled to defend his title against Bob Armstrong but thanks to Tully Blanchard and the Battan Twins, Armstrong will not be able to compete but will get his shot at a later date. Now, Jerry Jarrett has informed me that this weekend at the Jackson Coliseum there will be a battle royal and the winner will get a USWA title shot at the Mid South Coliseum. On that note I want to bring out the Battan's to try and get to the bottom of their motive for attacking Bob Armstrong. Boos as the Battan's (Brad and Bart) come out. Brad: First of all you will refer to us as Southern Justice. Got it! Bart: Let's get one thing straight. Tully Blanchard wasn't behind any of this. We did this because we needed to administer some Southern Justice on Bob Armstrong. Lance: Why would you do that? Brad: Because we had to show that pathetic patriarch what true family blood is all about. Everywhere we go all we hear about is how the Armstrong's are the greatest wrestling family. Well we take that as a personal insult! We came to the USWA to.... Lance: Whoa! The fans go wild as Scott and Steve Armstrong (in street clothes) storm the podium and unload on Southern Justice. Lance gets out of there quick. The Armstrong's are all over Southern Justice. Prelim wrestlers get out there to break it up which allows Southern Justice to stagger out of there. Scott: You want a family feud? You got one! Steve: The Armstrong's will show you what family blood is all about! Commercial Break Lance: This has been quite the show. Oh my, the Armstrong's are here and they're looking to administer some justice of their own. Ok, back to the ring. "Mean" Mike Miller vs. Todd Rooney Miller made a huge impact at Scores to Settle as he decimated Kerry Von Erich which allowed Hercules Ayala to win the Central States Title. Turns out Sonny King paid Miller to do that. Miller destroys Rooney and makes him submit with an Indian Deathlock. Miller cuts a promo and says that gutless punk Von Erich is so scared that he hasn't even shown his face since that vicious beatdown! Commercial Break Another vignette as Siva Afi continues with his island rituals. Siva Afi will make his debut next week! The Club vs. Karachi Vice Art Crews and Mike George are in the ring waiting for their opponents. The Great Gama Singh walks to the podium. Gama: I have searched the world up and down to find a partner worth teaming with and I have found him. Stand up and show your respect as I present to you Makhan Singh! Lance: Wait a minute, That's Mike Shaw! Gama: Never speak that name again! Mike Shaw is no longer. This man has been reborn and is Makhan Singh! It is now time to unleash Karachi Vice unto the world! The Club do their best but seemed to have been caught off guard by Karachi Vice. After a few minutes of action, Karachi Vice hurl George out of the ring. Makhan hits a splash on Crews then Gama applies the Camel Clutch to get the big win. After the match, George helps Crews up and consoles him as they leave disappointed. Commercial Break Lance: With me right now is the USWA Champion Nick Bockwinkel. Well Nick, at some point you will defend against Bob Armstrong but first you will defend the title against the winner of the Jackson Coliseum battle royal. Bock: Bob Armstrong isn't even a factor. The man obviously comes up short in the ability factor. When the time comes I will prove that. As for the battle royal. It doesn't matter who comes out on top, the only thing that matters is that I will be the one walking out of the Mid South Coliseum with this title. Quite frankly I look around and I see no one that I would even consider a challenge. However I will go along with these formalities and continue to prove why I am the man holding this title. Good day Mr. Russell. Lance: A very confident Nick Bockwinkel. Back to the ring for another USWA debut. "Avalanche" Buzz Tyler vs. William Hillman Tyler makes short work of his opponent and finishes him off with a running powerslam! Tyler cuts a promo and says he's ready for the competition here baby! Commercial Break Lance: Joining me now is Ron Slinker. Ron comes out still wearing a neck brace. Slinker: It's obvious all of you idiots don't care because you're still upset that I ran your American hero Sgt. Slaughter out of town but I'm heeling at a remarkable pace. The Doctor said any regular human being would still be out of commission but then he told me how he watched my incredible performance against Slaughter and said I was some kind of Superman. There's a commotion as Don Kernodle walks out. Kernodle: You know Sgt. Slaughter is a very good friend of mine and for weeks I've been watching you come out here and gloat about running him out of town even though he gave you the beating of your life and put you to sleep with the Cobra Clutch! The fans cheer. Slinker: You're delusional! Now you better go away because I'm a martial arts expert and might have to teach you a lesson. Kernodle: Ok, how about we have a match next weekend at the Mid South Coliseum? That shouldn't be a problem for a martial arts superman like yourself...right? Slinker: (Pauses and holds his neck) Ok, it will be fun to send you packing just like your weak little buddy. Lance: Ok, add Slinker vs. Kernodle to the Mid South Coliseum card. Let's go to the ring for a big tag match. The Fabulous Blondes vs. "Bronco" Bruce Hart and ??? The Blondes arrogantly parade around the ring as Bruce Hart comes out. They taunt and yell at him. Hart smiles and motions behind him. Lance: Oh my! That's Mighty John Quinn! The Blondes are stunned and are saying they didn't sign up for this. While they're yelling at the Ref, Hart and Quinn hit the ring. The bell rings but the Blondes don't even hear it. Hart dropkicks Regal out of the ring. Chick turns around and Quinn nails him with a thundering right fist! Chick falls slowly backwards as Hart grabs him and hits a German suplex 1..2..3!! Huge Pop! Quinn raises his fist as Hart holds his arm up. What a debut for John Quinn! Commercial Break Tony "Simply the Best" St. Clair w/Les Thornton vs. Trent Watkins Before the match, Thornton escorts St. Clair to the podium. Thornton: (Looks up at the ring with a disgusted look) I brought the greatest wrestler all the way from the UK to show the world why he's simply the best. Looking up at that ring I can surely tell you that man is not worthy competition. He's not worth Tony St. Clair's time therefore he will not grace these fans with his skills today. We're leaving. Lance: (Watches as they leave) I cant believe the arrogance of those two. Boos as Tully Blanchard struts out with Baby Doll. Lance: You weren't scheduled until later but ok. Tully: Lets get something straight. I do what I want when I want. Poor Bob Armstrong doesn't get his shot but as you heard that was out of my control. Lance: Well you didn't have a problem helping Southern Justice assault Bob. As a matter of fact you gave him 2 sling shot suplexes. Tully: I cant help it if that sorry old man can handle what I got. Now this weekend in Jackson I will win that battle royal and believe me I will get that title shot that I so deserve. Lance: I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I've been informed that due to those actions your punishment is not being allowed in the battle royal. Tully and Baby Doll have a meltdown. Tully: Just what the hell is going on around here! Let me tell you something Jerry Jarrett. I will become the USWA champion one way or another! Mark my words! Lance: A very upset Tully Blanchard. Our main event is up next. Commercial Break "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley vs. "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich w/"Cool" Carl Fergie This rivalry has been going full throttle for awhile. The bell rings and fists are flying! Fergie stays on the apron that is until Cooley swings Rich into him and Fergie goes flying. Cooley swings Rich into the ropes and hip tosses him over. Rich staggers up and Cooley dropkicks him out of the ring. Cooley goes to the apron. Rich slowly rises and Cooley nails him with a double axehandle. Fergie tries to interfere but Cooley punches him down as the fans are going wild. Cooley heads towards Rich but Rich hits him low and regroups. Rich slams Cooley's head on the apron and hurls him back in the ring. Rich chokes Cooley on the bottom rope. The Ref backs Rich off which allows Fergie to run up and choke Cooley on the ropes. Rich stomps away on Cooley then picks him up and hot shots him on the top rope 1..2..Cooley gets his foot on the rope. Rich and Fergie berate the Ref. Rich swings Cooley into the corner and charges in with a running back elbow smash. Rich body slams Cooley then goes to the top rope. Rich jumps off and attempts the flying elbow drop but Cooley moves at the last second. Both men are reeling. They're on their knees and start exchanging punches. They start to rise while still throwing punches. Cooley gets the upper hand and starts to unload. Cooley swings Rich to the ropes and clotheslines him down. Cooley picks up Rich and swings him hard into the turnbuckles. Rich staggers out and Cooley hits the Running Bulldog 1..2..Fergie hits the ring and stomps on Cooley. The Ref signals for the DQ! Rich is still reeling. Cooley starts to rise and punches away on Fergie. Cooley swings Fergie to the ropes and back drops him. Fergie staggers up and Cooley nails him with the Running Bulldog as the fans cheer! Lance: Cooley gets the DQ win and gets some satisfaction. It's been a rough week for Carl Fergie. Fans next week, Adrian Adonis will be in action. Siva Afi makes his debut. We'll hear from Kerry Von Erich. Rip Oliver takes on Bob Brown. And Rick Martel will defend the TV title against Gino Brito Jr. I wanted to bring both men out. Martel and Gino show their respect to each other and vow to have a good clean wrestling match with the best man winning. They shake hands as the show ends. This weekend at the Jackson Coliseum- Battle Royal, winner gets a USWA title shot. Mid South Coliseum 4-4-85 USWA Title Bout Nick Bockwinkel (C) vs. Winner of the Jackson Coliseum Battle Royal Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Adrian Adonis Central States Tag Title Bout The Naturals (C) vs. The Movement w/Sonny King "Captain" Ron Slinker vs. Don Kernodle

I really like the era you guys are working. Some really cool shows! The anticipated Clash of Champions has finally arrived and it more than delivered. The Midnights are successful tonight but as mentioned a lot of teams will be gunning for them. Oh man I know Stan Hansen is one of the toughest in wrestling but a revenge minded American Dream is not somebody to mess with. These two are heading for an explosive match up. Meanwhile Rick Rude is the new US champ. That's a good fit for him. Tension is rising between Windham and Luger and the Horsemen take advantage. Flair and Sting go to an epic 60 minute draw. IRL Flair said this was how he wished it would of went so it was awesome to see you go with that. The judges give the match to Flair but Sting is now a made man. Looking forward to a Flair/Piper match and maybe even a Wargames match.

Ron Starr and Lanny Poffo=Flamboyance! Nice job putting these two together. The War rages on between Hyatt Int. and Gary Hart Enterprises. Hyatt has the upper hand after that elimination match. I'm really enjoying this feud. Thundercats become the number one contenders but found out it's going to be a tough job getting the straps off Rose and Sommers. However they have found an ally in... Superstar Bill Dundee!!!! I cant wait to see what Dundee does here. He's such a fun wrestler to write for. Zenk is on the roll of a lifetime as California champ and might end up earning a shot at Gordy down the line. Steamboat wasn't playing around as he gets Blackwell and Nord to help fight Muraco and the Untouchables. This hot feud just got hotter! Texas Red proves he's the real deal as he takes Gordy to the limit. Liked that Orton/Perez match. Orton gets the win but Perez came out looking pretty good. Looks like the Freebirds are losing some momentum but never count them out. Pacific is on fire with fresh faces, great storylines and heated feuds.
-
Alberto is back! If him and Slater join forces that means a lot of trouble for the AWA. Hall and Hennig show some toughness as they take the SST to a draw. Once again Rich gets the win but Sawyer gets the last word. Wild 8 man tag. Hart better be careful because Nikita doesn't like to lose. Dibiase continues his winning ways with a nice win over Jumping Jim.
-
Outback Jack makes his anticipated debut and is victorious. SST are making some serious noise now with a victory over the PYT's. I wonder who Johnny V is bringing in? Rich unifies the titles but Sawyer gives him a post match beating. I'm so glad this feud is continuing. All is right in the AWA as RnR unify the tag titles. RnR will draw some big money here. Oh wow the USFL! Yep this is the 80s. Sherri wins the AWA Woman's title! Man I cant wait for the Sherri/Richter dream match. Watch out darlings because the Universal Heartthrob is coming! What a wild end to a story and even a wilder beginning to a new story. I was shocked when Jimmy Hart came out with the Russians. Just who was the MMM?? We may never know. The Mouth of Moscow has one dangerous stable with the Russians and Patera. Dusty lays down the challenge for next week. Damn this was great! Awesome night for the Russians as they take down the High Flyers. As if all that wasn't enough, we get a crazy ending as Landel drops the corkscrew elbow and ruins Flair's chances at the title. This is so cool because this game is finally going to get the long awaited battle of the Nature Boys!!!!! Thank you Gene! We'll see how Dibiase reacts to all this. I'll defiantly be tuning in next week. Super job!

USWA releases Johnny Rivera USWA picks up Buzz Tyler. I figure I can give Buzz a few paydays before he retires.
-
With Captain Lou guiding them, the SST might have some gold soon. Oh man things just got really interesting as Flair and Percy oh I mean Percival have words. Flair better watch his back tomorrow night. Olympia makes his televised debut and is already involved in a pretty big program with Jumbo. Watch out AWA because Stan Hansen is coming!!! LOL, Police Academy 2. I actually saw that in the theater. Speaking of movies, in just a few months Rocky 4 will hit the theaters. The AWA could capitalize on that with Nikita. High Flyers are on a roll and get a big TV win over the PYT's. Man, Link and Slater take the TV show to a new level as they have one heck of a fight. Link wins this one but I have a feeling Slater will be back for more. Super Sunday has been built up so well. A lot is going to go down.

USWA @ The Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston TX 3-22-85 "Chief" Joe Lightfoot vs. "The Patrolman" Dale Veasey Both men have just arrived to the USWA and want to make an impression. Solid back and forth match but 10 minutes isn't enough time as they battle to a draw. "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich w/"Cool" Carl Fergie vs. Art Crews w/Mike George Crews gives Rich a run for his money as Mike George keeps his eyes on Fergie. Crews is in control and Fergie gets on the apron. George runs over, yanks Fergie down and punches him back. While that is going on, Rich nails Crews with a lowblow and rolls him up with a handful of tights 1..2..3! Winner of the Match- Johnny Rich "Outlaw" Ron Bass vs. "The San Juan Saint" Johnny Rivera Another match between 2 USWA arrivals. Bass has one tough reputation in wrestling while Rivera is coming off a hot run in Puerto Rico. Rivera surprises Bass a few times as he gets several near falls. Rivera goes for a flying press but Bass catches him and hits a running powerslam for the win. Winner of the Match- Ron Bass The Naturals vs. The Movement w/Sonny King Another intense and wild match between these feuding teams. The action is at a furious pace with several pier six brawls breaking out. King tries to interfere but Wells dives at him through the ropes and they both tumble to the outside. This allows Whatley and Conway to double team Adias and hit the double Russian Leg Sweep for the win. Winners of the Match- The Movement "Crippler" Rip Oliver vs. "Bulldog" Bob Brown These guys had quite the brawl on TV when Brown interrupted Oliver's interview. This match is basically a fist fight as they take turns pounding on each other. Brown breaks every rule in the book but cant put Oliver away. The finish comes when Brown misses a clothesline and Oliver swings back with a flying forearm smash for the pin. Winner of the Match- Rip Oliver Central States Title Bout Hercules Ayala (C) vs. "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley Sonny King is still hurting in the back so Ayala is on his own. Cooley takes advantage as he works Ayala over with hip tosses, dropkicks and back drops. Ayala turns the tide with a vicious clothesline and goes to work with slams, punches and stomps. The fans fire Cooley up as he fires away with punches. Cooley is on fire as he unloads on Ayala. Cooley swings Ayala into the corner but the Ref slips and gets plowed over by Ayala. Cooley swings off the ropes and hits the running bulldog! As he covers he sees the Ref is down. Boos as Johnny Rich runs down the aisle and climbs the top rope. He comes down with a double axehandle to the back of Cooley's head then runs out of the ring. Ayala staggers up, picks Cooley up in a bear hug, rams him into the turnbuckles and belly to belly suplexes him over. The Ref crawls over and counts 1..2..3! Winner of the match and still Central States Champ- Hercules Ayala USWA Tag Team Title Bout The Grapplers (C) vs. The Central States Tag Champs Bad Attitude w/"Cool" Carl Fergie Bad Attitude attacked the Grapplers on TV and the Grapplers wasted no time in getting this match signed. Very intense and hard hitting match. Both teams end up fighting on the outside and even Fergie takes a bump. The Ref has no choice but to count both teams out. The bell is ringing but they just keep fighting. Official Ruling- A Double C.O. - The Grapplers are still USWA Tag Champs Winner gets a USWA title shot Tully Blanchard w/Baby Doll vs. "Bullet" Bob Armstrong Jerry Jarrett retired the Texas Title but announced these 2 would wrestle for a shot at the USWA Title. Tully and Baby Doll do their best to distract Armstrong but it doesn't work. Armstrong is all over Tully and dominates the early minutes. Armstrong swings Tully into the corner and charges in but Tully lifts his knees and takes over. Tully chokes Armstrong on the ropes. The Ref pushes him back which allows Baby Doll to slap Armstrong. Tully slams Armstrong and drops several consecutive elbows 1..2..Kick Out. Tully hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a forearm drop 1..2..Kick Out. Tully and Baby Doll berate the Ref. Tully swings Armstrong to the ropes and goes for a back drop but Armstrong kicks him. The fans are cheering as Armstrong regroups and pumps his fists. Tully staggers up but Armstrong unloads with punches, swings him to the ropes and back drops him. Armstrong hits a swinging neckbreaker. Baby Doll gets in the ring! The Ref runs over and is yelling at her to get out. Armstrong looks over at Baby Doll and the Ref. Baby Doll is slowly backing up as the Ref is guiding her back. Armstrong gets up and walks over. Baby Doll gets out on the apron and takes a swing at Armstrong but Armstrong grabs her arm. Tully staggers up and nails Armstrong from behind with a high knee. Tully looks at Baby Doll to see if she's ok. Tully then berates the Ref. Tully picks up Armstrong and goes for the Sling Shot Suplex but Armstrong cradles Tully 1..2 (The Ref doesn't notice they're in the ropes)..3!! Huge Pop! Baby Doll is furious and is yelling at the Ref and pointing to the ropes. The Ref is holding up his hands then raises Armstrong's arm in victory as the crowd roars. WHAM!!!! Armstrong is nailed by 2 wrestlers in street clothes! They put the boots to him then double slam him down. Tully goes over as they pick Armstrong up and hold him. Tully slaps Armstrong then hits the Sling Shot Suplex! The 2 men stomp on Armstrong and pick him up again as Tully grabs Armstrong and hits another Sling Shot Suplex! The 2 men throw Armstrong out of the ring. They follow and pick Armstrong up and slam him on the announcer's table. Security rushes out. Tully, Baby Doll and the 2 men leave as the fans pelt them with trash. Winner of the match and will receive a USWA Title Match- Bob Armstrong

USWA sends Black Bart to the WWF for Ted Arcidi
-
USWA puts Black Bart on the block. Just looking for a lower card heel.
-
The Glamour Boys are back in the game and embracing a full 80s metal look. Good way to freshen them up. Billy Robinson proves he's still one of the best. The Tribe appear to be a bit more sinister. Amazing what a change in attitude can do for a team. Blassie has put together quite a stable. LOL seeing a commercial for The Last Dragon made my day! Putski looks ready for Backlund but Backlund is on an entirely different level right now. I like how you describe the wrestler's ring gear. It really brings them to life. The Tribe have defiantly turned full on heel as they get the DQ. Gunslingers and Tribe could be a big time feud. I cant wait to see which team wins the tournament and takes home the gold. I'm really enjoying your version of the WWF. Keep up the great work.

USWA TV @ The Civic Auditorium Knoxville TN 3-20-85 Highlights of Scores to Settle is shown to Def Leppard's Rock Rock til you Drop. Lance Russell: Hello everyone and welcome to another exciting episode of USWA wrestling here on the USA Network. So much to talk about. Scores to Settle is in the books and right off the bat I want to bring out the President Jerry Jarrett. Jerry, go ahead. Jarrett: Thank you Lance and I want to thank all the fans for making Scores to Settle a tremendous success. As we all saw, Nick Bockwinkel retained the USWA championship against Carlos Colon in one heck of a match. So, who will be his next opponent? BOOS as Tully Blanchard and Baby Doll rush to the podium. Tully: Wait just a minute! I'm out here to get back what's rightfully mine, the Texas Title! Olympia wasn't in that match so he better be gone and that cheating coward Bob Armstrong better come out and give me back my title! Massive cheers as Bob Armstrong comes out smiling with the Texas Title around his waist. Jarrett: Ok, hold on gentlemen. I was about to make this announcement as it concerns both of you. Mr. Olympia was not able to compete in that match so as stipulated he has left the USWA. Tully: Yea, that's right! I sent that masked idiot packing. Now tell this idiot to give me my title back. Jarrett: Just calm down Tully. I pondered this all week and have decided to retire the Texas Title. However, the two of you will wrestle this weekend at the Sam Houston Coliseum and the winner will become the number one contender to the USWA Championship. Tully: Why am I not surprised. You would rather retire the Texas Title than give it back to me. Whatever, because after I beat this over the hill second rate has been then it's on to bigger things and mark my words, the USWA title will be around my waist! Tully and Baby Doll storm out. Armstrong: (smiles then hands over the title to Jarrett) It's great to be here in the USWA and I'm thankful for this tremendous opportunity. Tully, regardless of what you think Bullet Bob Armstrong still has a lot of fuel in the tank so I'll see you in Houston. Lance: Ok, big announcement as the Texas Title is retired and Tully Blanchard will take on Bob Armstrong for a shot at the USWA Title. Fans let's get to the ring. The Naturals vs. Clint Curtis and Trent Watkins After their loss to the Movement at Scores to Settle ( thanks to interference by Sonny King), the Naturals are looking to bounce back quick and they do that tonight. Wells swings Curtis to the ropes and puts him down with a running tackle then tags in Adias. Adias hoists Curtis up and gives him an airplane spin and slams him down for the pin! Naturals cut a promo and say they want another crack at the Movement! Commercial Break Art Crews vs. Gary Williams Crews works over Williams then hits a backbreaker and follows with a Boston Crab to get the submission victory. Crews heads to the podium. Lance: Welcome back to the USWA, I remember the last time you were here, you always predicted how long it would take to win your matches. Crews: I have to admit I was very arrogant and during my time away I straightened up my act. I'm back because I got a call from a man who used to do the same thing. We had a long talk and well let me go ahead and introduce my new tag team partner, the original timekeeper Mike George. Mike comes to the podium. Mike: I see something special in Art Crews and I think we could do some great things as a team, so Art welcome to the club. The two shake hands as the fans give them a cheer. Commercial Break Lance: Fans at Scores to Settle, Hercules Ayala defeated Kerry Von Erich in a NO DQ match to become the Central States Champ. Lot's of controversy as Mean Mike Miller interfered with a chair. I want to bring out Sonny King along with Hercules Ayala to get to the bottom of all this. King: (He has to pause because the boos are so loud) Listen up! We did nothing wrong as a matter of fact I'm a genius and my plan worked to perfection. That big dumb fool Von Erich agreed to the match and oh yea everybody's eyes were on the Movement even those 2 stooges the Naturals. So what did I do? I went out and hired an assassin and that was Mean Mike Miller baby! This aint no secret so Mike come on out and get what's com'n to you. Boos as Miller comes out yelling at the fans. King smiles and hands him a briefcase. Miller opens it and looks at all the cash, smiles and shakes hands with Sonny. Miller: It was my pleasure Mr. King and if that punk Von Erich is stupid enough to return I'll be more than happy to beat him up again, free of charge. Miller exits. King: Now! Standing here is the most dominant and ruthless wrestler in the USWA, the Central States Champ Hercules Ayala. Ayala: One by one they've all fallen to my mighty hands! There's no one who can beat me! No one! King: Lance, the Movement is stronger than ever and it's only a matter of time before we get some tag team gold and then we will rule the USWA! Commercial Break A vignette is shown of a Polynesian wrestler participating in an island ritual. "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi is coming to the USWA Lance: Looking forward to the USWA debut of Siva Afi. Speaking of USWA debuts, let's go to the ring. "Bulldog" Bob Brown vs. Todd Rooney Brown just mauls Rooney, slams him down a few times then hits a standing leg drop for the easy pin. Lance: Bulldog Bob Brown sure looks like he's ready for the competition here. Right now I want to bring out another wrestler who will be making his debut soon. This man has quite the reputation, Crippler Rip Oliver. Oliver: Lance, everybody tells me the USWA has the roughest competition, well that's exactly why I'm here. Bob Brown comes to the podium. Bob: What the hell is going on around here? I dominate my match and this clown gets an interview after my match? They call you the crippler? What are you a tough guy? You don't look so tough to me. Brown pushes Oliver. Oliver comes back with a punch and these two have a heated brawl as Lance gets out of there quick. They're brawling all around the ring until prelim wrestlers come out to break them up. Commercial Break The Fabulous Blondes (Steve Regal and Chick Donovan) vs. Sam and Sean Smith Donovan appeared at Scores to Settle and assisted Regal in a victory over Bruce Hart. They gave Bruce quite a post match beating. The Fabulous Blondes are in sync tonight as they show off their skills. The Blondes win the match with a double suplex. Boos as they head to the podium. Regal: Are we meant for each other or what? Just look at us. Chick: Tell them Steve. Bruce Hart sure found that out. Lance: Glad you mentioned him because we have a pre recorded statement from Bruce. Bruce: Oh I'm sure both Regal and Donovan are having a great laugh at my expense. Well boys I have a big surprise for you. Next week you two morons will face myself and my new partner and trust me I'll have the last laugh. Commercial Break Lance: Fans, next week the USWA Champ Nick Bockwinkel will be here to address his new number one contender either Tully Blanchard or Bob Armstrong... Boos as Ron Slinker comes out with a bruised up face and wearing a neck brace. Slinker: Lance, as you can see I'm hurt and any normal man wouldn't of been able to walk out here. But as I've told you I'm not any normal man and that's thanks to my extensive martial arts training. That training is what ran a scared and frightened Sgt. Slaughter out of town. Lance: Wait a minute, hold on, Slaughter decisively won that boot camp match. Him leaving was only because his contract was fulfilled. Slinker: Wake up! (Holds his neck and grimaces) Who's the one standing here? I beat him so bad he left town with his head hung low in shame. Now that I terminated Sgt. Slaughter I'm going to heel up and then the sky's the limit for Captain Ron Slinker. You see there was no way a Sargent would beat a Captain, just no way. Lance: That man is certainly delusional.

Bad Attitude is the best team in wrestling and now they want to hold all the tag titles! Borne and Young pick up the USWA titles and hold them up along with their Central States titles. Commercial Break Lance: Well I wasn't expecting that. The Grapplers were able to walk out on their own. I wouldn't want to be Fergie and Bad Attitude. Whoa so much happening. Switching gears, at Scores to Settle, Adrian Adonis defeated Jerry Lawler with help from a powdered substance. I want to take you to pre comments from Jerry Lawler. Lawler: (one eye bandaged) I should of known better. Of course a coward like Adonis didn't have the guts to fight fair but that's ok because you only got me mad. You want to fight dirty?

Adrian Adonis vs. Roy Glader Adonis gets massive heat as he works Glader over. Adonis eventually finishes off Glader with the DDT. More boos as he heads to the podium.

USWA releases the Super Samoans (Tui and Sakalia) USWA would like to pick up Cpl. Kirchner and Johnny Rivera

Olympia wastes no time and gets in the ring with some stiff competition and takes Jumbo to the limit. I know that grudge tag match was insane! The Destroyers try and soften up RnR before their unification showdown. That's going to be a classic. Richter and Kai are certainly no strangers to each other. Richter moves up the rankings with the win. Seeing Flair teaming with Dusty and Wahoo against the Russians is so awesome. I'm sure this isn't over. I have to give it up to Scott Hall. He takes Dibiase past the 30 minute mark. I wonder if Dibiase was looking past Hall and was to focused on his upcoming match with Flair. This could be a career turning match for Hall.
-
Bam Bam is on a roll. He had a fun run but Chicky must pack his bags. Easy Ed does a number on Vachon. I'm sure the Thundercats will be out for revenge. Trouble brewing between Taylor and Roberts. Billy Jack and Gordy battle to a double c.o. Looking forward to more matches between these hard hitters. Rude and Fernandez are getting the better of the Guerreros. Nice way to shake things up as fan favorites Beefcake and Burke go the limit. Perez pulls out a big last minute win over Buddy Jack. Perez proves he's a threat. Love that Hito/Fuchi-Badd Co. match! The champs retain but I think we'll get another match. Zenk continues to shine as TV champ getting a nice win over a red hot Del Ray. Awesome main event with a great finish as Steamboat outsmarts Muraco.

I'm loving this exciting version of the AWA! Captain Lou is here and so are his friends! I think the Samoans will climb the rankings fast. Oh yea it looks like the Rock n Wrestling Connection is coming to the AWA. This is going to be fun. Obviously somebody is in Verne's ear about updating things and it's really paying off. Slater and Link is becoming a hot feud. Cant wait for their match next week. LOL Outback Jack is looking to take out the competition just like he did that Crocodile. Dibiase has strong words for Flair. Their match at Super Sunday will be epic! WOW! Nikita is on a tear! He takes out Tonga Kid and Singh. Bullet hits the ring and the match is on. Bullet puts up a great fight but the numbers are to much as Nikita levels him with the Sickle. Great ending as the top faces hit the ring and chaos ensues. Awesome stuff.

And the WWF returns! Tito will be a major force ARIBA! I like how you're using the announcers. Really helps get the talent over. The tag team tournament should be a lot of fun. Looking forward to see who makes it to the Garden. Blassie and Mr. Magnificent are perfect for each other. LOL, an unhinged Bob Backlund is so entertaining! His interviews will be priceless. His match with Putski is classic WWF. Good move having Andre close out the debut show. Hearing about upcoming Garden cards and SNME shows has given me the WWF fever baby!
-
Really good TV this week! Orton put on a strong and dangerous showing. Him and Shultz are going to be a force. The Starrs might be in trouble because Yamada and Smothers are pretty hot right now. Adams and Snake put on a solid match. Taylor might be in the snake pit after his interference backfired. Good grief the Untouchables really did a number on the French Revolution! They even do a double stretcher job! Big moment on TV. Bam Bam finally gets his payback and looks to be back on track. Leo Burke's guidance is really paying off.

Great tournament that was full of surprises. Slater lays out Link. Looks like Dirty Dick is coming back! Jumbo also has issues as he beats up his partner and manager! I have a feeling Jumbo is going to be on a path of destruction. Sherri gets the DQ which means we'll probably get another match...YES! The Russians might of used underhanded tactics but they beat a lot of top teams to win the titles. Get ready for the reign of Russian terror!

Very creative! Loved the entire build with Andre, Belushi, SNL, Ebersol and of course McMahon. I could really see something like this happening LOL. Watch out because the WWF is making a big time comeback!
