AWA releases Bill Kazmaier AWA picks up Bull Payne

Out with Sting and in with Spivey. Sherri and Spivey make a great team. Could Sherri be the one to catapult Spivey into superstardom. I'm really looking forward to two work horses like Garvin and Martel going at it. Luger and Flair are really hyping up their upcoming match. Road Warriors vs. Rockers...bring it on! Pillman, Z-Man, Liger, Owen, talk about a stacked LHW division. I'll be calling my cable operator for sure.

Looks like 1990 is going to be a big year for the WWF. It's so great seeing the POP and Haku getting the pushes they deserved IRL. I'm looking forward to the challenges that await Rude and the world title. Frenchy has given the Canadians a serious resurgence. Can't wait for your shows!

Big title match ahead with Dory and Kendall. Can't wait to hear the stip for that one. Humperdink might've made a big mistake now that Top Gun is messing with the house. Lancaster's been on the roll a lifetime. Looks like Dundee has some allies. I can't wait to see a Dundee/Mando program. The Jr. title division is rock'n in Florida!

You are so good at this! I'm hyped for 1990!

Creative idea with the coin toss. Lawler remains strong and gets sympathy while Hennig gets to heel it up big time. My man Keirn racks up another fabulous win. Great job with giving Brad Armstrong a lot to do. He finishes a fun feud with DWB and now is involved with Dutch, which will get him even more over as the Tri State champ. BTW, loved Dutch paying off Sommers LOL. One thing about Jimmy Hart, he always knows how to get heat. The Undertaker has arrived!!!! This is a game changer. Dustin Rhodes is here and immediately is involved in something big with Tojo and Goto. Add Slaughter and this is going to sell a lot of tickets. AHHHHHH, the classic we got to go ending as all hell is about to break loose. So many exciting angles and storylines going on. I can tell this has really rejuvenated you.

Great job on putting the pieces together in WCW. The big news is Luger using the ultimate trump card to get his title shot. A lot of intrigue going on with Luger, Sting, Sherri and the Horsemen. I love the stables being put together. Hart and Brother Love have some impressive clients. I'm really hoping Herc and Roma get a big push. A Garvin/Martel feud could work wonders for the TV title scene. Not only do Tully and Arn have the Road Warriors to worry about, but now the Rockers have arrived! There's a really good mix going on in WCW with vets like Race, Orton, Rich, JYD and Wahoo blended in with exciting new era stars like Owen, Liger, Crush, Tatanka and Boricuas. And what's in the box??? Future Shock is definitely going to set the tone for 1990.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-13-89 Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. AWA world champion Hulk Hogan will be here tonight! Konnan takes on Blackblood. The Renegade Warriors go up against the Union Jacks. All that and plenty more as the road to SuperClash continues. 'The Foreman' Spike Huber vs. Ted Kingsly Huber airplane spins Kingsly, slams him down and follows with an elbow drop to get the win. Nelson: Spike, at SuperClash, Col. Debeers will be in the corner of Nikita Koloff in the big world title bout. However, earlier that night, he will be facing you. I'm sure you've seen all the havoc Debeers has caused. Huber: It seems that Col. Debeers isn't all that concerned with his match with me. Listen and listen good Debeers. You better not brush me off and take me lightly because this foreman is ready to drop the hammer down on you at SuperClash! Commercial Break 'Sir' Tony St. Clair w/Les Thornton vs. William Hillman Tony executes his floating butterfly suplex and it's all over. Nelson: Tony, you and Colon have wrestled to two incredible time limit draws. At SuperClash it will be the two of you in a no time limit match. I'm sure that will settle just who is the better wrestler once and for all. Thornton: First of all, Nelson, you will address Tony St. Clair as Sir. Sir Tony is going to show that barbaric savage Colon exactly who the superior wrestler is. Colon has been lucky to go the limit twice, but during those matches, Sir Tony was just getting warmed up. At SuperClash, no time limit plays right into our hands. Tony: Colon, it's you and me one more time and at SuperClash we're going to have a wrestling match plain and simple and I'm confident my skills will simply outmatch yours. Commercial Break Konnan vs. Blackblood w/Skandor Akbar The bell rings and these guys go toe to toe in a furious exchange. Just as Konnan starts to get the advantage, Akbar hops on the apron and taunts him. Konnan runs over and grabs Akbar. Blood sends Konnan through the ropes with a flying knee to the back. Blood goes to the outside and stomps down on Konnan, then picks him up and slams his head on the apron, then hurls him back in the ring. Blood goes to the top rope and crashes down with a knee drop, but Konnan moves at the last second. Both men stagger up. Konnan clotheslines Blood down. Konnan swings Blood to the ropes and back drops him. Akbar signals to the back. Soultaker runs out and hits the ring BUT El Canek is right behind him! Canek and Taker trade blows in the ring. The Ref signals for the bell and declares it a no contest. The bell keeps ringing, but all 4 men keep fighting. They fight to the outside and all around the ring into the commercial break. Commercial Break Nelson: My goodness, things have finally settled down. At SuperClash those 4 men will wrestle in a street fight. Wow! Ok speaking of SuperClash, my guest at this time will be a big part of it and made his triumphant return last week. I'm talking about Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff! The fans go wild as Orndorff walks out with confidence. He points to the fans and pumps his fists. Nelson: Welcome back Paul. I see your neck is in good shape and I believe Stan Hansen may be regretting what he's gotten himself into. Orndorff: Paul Orndorff is back! And I'm feeling better than ever! Stan Hansen! You call yourself a big tough cowboy but you're nothing but a coward in my book. You put me out of action by hitting me from behind. Well. as you can see, I'm standing here and ready to go. You found that out last week when I put your head through the canvas with my piledriver. Oh but I'm not finished, no, no, no. I'm only getting warmed up. At SuperClash, you're mine Hansen! All mine! The fans cheer as Orndorff gives them a double bicep pose. Commercial Break 'Bullet' Bob Armstrong vs. Ray Glader Armstrong gets the win with the Jaw Breaker. OH NO! The All-Stars (Idol, Starr, Dream and Adias) hit the ring and attack Bob! They punch, kick and stomp Armstrong down. Idol clamps on the Las Vegas Leglock as the rest of the All-Stars stomp away. Dream Machine loads his mask and hits a diving headbutt on Bob while Idol keeps wrenching away with the leglock. Bob's a bloody mess. Adias and Starr take turns with fist drops on Bob's bloody head. Idol finally releases the hold. Each of the All-Stars put a boot on Bob's body and raise their arms in victory. Idol grabs the mic. Idol: (looks down at Bob) Awwwww darling, don't even bother showing up at SuperClash. You should just pack up and leave now. Dream: That's right baaaaaaabaaaaay! Starr: Where are your amigos? I think they left the AWA already. Adios (laughs) Adias: It's all over Bobby Boy! The AWA is meant for stars...All-Stars! Commercial Break Nelson: Bob Armstrong had to be helped out of here and was in bad shape. I want to clarify something. The All-Stars and Beefcake, Sugar and Parsons all agreed they wouldn't be on tonight's show to prevent something like what just happened. I'm sure the All-Stars are real proud of themselves for breaking that promise. We'll see what AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow has to say about this. Ok, joining me now is the AWA International champ Terry Taylor. Taylor comes out with his hair slicked into a ponytail, red sequence jacket and the belt around his waist. Nelson: Terry, you'll be defending your title against Don Muraco at SuperClash. Muraco is pretty fired up for this match and promises to take that title. Taylor: Don Muraco? Does he really think he has a chance. I've told you before, the red rooster runs this henhouse and if Muraco thinks he's going to come into my henhouse and take my title, well, he better think again. I'm the cock of the walk which means I back up everything I say, and this title proves it. So Muraco, the only thing you have coming is a beating from me, the Red Rooster! Commercial Break 'Big' Jim Morris vs. Carl Kellerman Morris wins the match with a bearhug. Nelson: Ok Jim, at SuperClash you have quite a task ahead when you meet Jumbo Tsuruta. I understand Ray Stevens has Jumbo in serious training over in Japan. Morris: Larry, this old boy is fired up and excited to be facing Jumbo Tsuruta at SuperClash. You talk about serious training well this old boy is taking things very seriously and they're going to find that out at SuperClash. WOOOO WEEEE! Commercial Break The Rock n Roll Express vs. Trent Watkins and Arnie Goldstein During the match the AWA world tag champs the Fantastics are at ringside scouting the match. RnR look annoyed but quickly end the match with a double dropkick. RnR head to the outside and confront the Fantastics. Tommy and Bobby are shrugging and saying they were just scouting. Ricky and Robert ask if they saw what they liked. The Fantastics wiggle their hands and say it was ok. RnR take offense and another pushing and shoving match occurs before officials run out. While RnR is escorted away, the Fantastics are holding their titles high towards them. Commercial Break 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer vs. Harold Bannister Sawyer wins the match with a powerslam. After the match, Sawyer bites away on Bannister's head until he bleeds. Sawyer smiles as he heads to ringside. Nelson: (very nervous) Buzz, what's with you lately? Sawyer: I'm just having fun. He's ok (maniacal laugh) Nelson: Well, I have something here for you. It seems to be a birthday card and I suppose to read it. It says happy birthday Buzz. You will get your present at SuperClash. Sawyer: (laughs) it's not my birthday. Nelson: Well then, I have no idea what this means. Sawyer: That's ok, I'll show up to get my gift. Sounds fun (maniacal laugh) Nelson just seems disturbed by all this Commercial Break The Renegade Warriors vs. The Union Jacks w/Les Thornton Both teams put on a solid back and forth showing until Vinergy runs in and attacks the Warriors which causes a DQ. Vinergy and the Union Jacks put a beating on the Warriors until Justified hits the ring to even things up. Eventually all the teams are brawling and wrestlers are getting tossed over the top rope in a preview to the SuperClash tag team battle royal. Commercial Break We see MR.T inside the McNichols Arena with a SuperClash banner hanging behind him. T: At SuperClash I've been appointed special enforcer referee for the Elimination match. I want everybody involved to know that when your match is over, I'm going to see to it that nobody comes back. I pity the fool that tries. Pat Benatar is in a music studio. Benatar: I can't wait to kick things off at SuperClash. And I dare any wrestler to hit me with their best shot Commercial Break Nelson is standing in the ring. Nelson: Please welcome out the AWA world champion, Hulk Hogan! The place goes bonkers as Eye of the Tiger blasts. Hogan heads down the aisle wearing jeans, white headband, T-Shirt and the world title around his waist. Hogan enters the ring and gives the fans a thumbs up. Nelson: There will be an epic clash at SuperClash when you Hulk Hogan defends the AWA world title against Nikita Koloff with Col. Debeers in his corner. Hogan: Well you know something Lethal Larry, I've felt the wrath of Nikita Koloff brother and I won't lie, my head's been reeling ever since. But it's going to take a lot more than that to keep the power of Hulkamania down brother! I faced the monsters before and nothing can destroy Hulkamania! Nikita Koloff! I'm putting you down, all the way down. And as for that slime Debeers, if he so much as tries anything, I'm going to choke the life out of him. So Koloff! Debeers! Whatcha gonna do when Hulk Hogan, the Hulkamaniacs and Hulkamania run wild on youuuuuuuuu! Hogan starts flexing, But wait! Here comes Nikita Koloff and Col. Debeers. Nikita has the chain around him. Debeers steps into the ring as Nikita walks around the ring to the other side. Debeers twirls his mustache but Hogan charges and clotheslines Debeers over the top rope! Nikita hits the ring and is ready to clothesline Hogan with the chain, but Hogan turns around and ducks. Nikita misses, and turns around as Hogan punches away until Nikita drops the chain. Hogan swings Nikita to the ropes and puts up his boot but Nikita grabs the ropes and pulls himself to the outside. Nikita helps up Debeers. They look to regroup, but Hogan picks up Nikita's chain and begs them to come back inside. Nikita and Debeers yell at Hogan as Hogan pleads with them to get back in the ring.

Bert and Ronnie are gold together! The mysterious woman is really making her presence known by bringing in the wild man Taz. This will get the people of Kentucky talking. Martin gets a nice win and plays his part well. If you want to make a name for yourself in this business, give Falk a call. My man Renesto ends the show on a high note.

Keep these vignettes coming!

Wow, I never thought I would see the day where Fidel becomes a sympathetic face. Very well done. Good drama build up with the missing Cannonball story. DJ really got Mulligan heated LOL. I agree with AD, Ratsa's video was classic territory stuff. This is going to be a lot of fun. Precious and Jimmy try to get one over on Lancaster, but Mulligan gets one over on them with a big stipulation set for next week. Man, the Guerreros are really playing up the heel card here. Now, with Dundee coming in, this is only going to get better. I popped big time seeing Lightfoot and Afi team up. I know the High Chiefs wont let the Guerrero's trickery slide. The cage match was all sorts of mayhem we would expect. From the Rich's beatdown, to the dramatic return of Cannonball, to Mulligan slipping in the axe handle. DJ's boys are victorious but this war is far from over. Awesome read! I'm invested in all the storylines going on.

WCW is off and running! I love the top 10 ratings. Pillman and Zenk will bring the youthful excitement, that's for sure. Can't wait to find out what's in the box for Sullivan. I was actually getting ready to do something similar at SuperClash LOL. Look at that, the original horsemen are back together again. Great stuff! Lots of intrigue going on in the world title picture. Flair better be ready because he's got Sting, Luger and Muta gunning for him. Race and Orton is such an old school badass team. Looking forward to watching Martel, Owen and Bulldog transition to WCW. Future Shock will definitely set WCW's tone for 1990.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-6-89 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. We're on the road to SuperClash 4 and a lot is going on. Tonight's TV title contender's match will be for a title shot at SuperClash. The lucky men that were drawn are Bill Kazmaier and get this, he was to make his AWA debut tonight and believe it or not his name was drawn. I'm talking about Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart. Stan Hansen will be in action right here, tonight! AWA world tag champs, the Fantastics will be in the ring. Also, Nikita Koloff will be tuning up for his big world title match in a handicap match tonight. Ok, let's get to the ring for 8 man tag action. 'Bullet' Bob Armstrong/Iceman Parsons/Sweet Brown Sugar and Brutus Beefcake vs. Carl Kellerman/William Hillman/Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Everybody shines tonight. Parsons hits his Hip Attack. Sugar hits a missile dropkick. Beefcake hits his running high knee and Armstrong finishes things off with a Jaw Breaker. The 4 men give a fired up and passionate promo about their Elimination Match with a twist against the All-Stars at SuperClash. They say they've been through all the battles and promise to end the war and the All-Stars at SuperClash! Commercial Break 'Olympian' Ken Patera w/Brad Rheingans vs. Todd Rooney Rheingans is wearing a shoulder brace due to his injury from Steve Disalvo a few weeks ago. Patera shows off his power and strength and wins the match with a swinging full nelson. Nelson: Ok, Ken Patera, you made the challenge and Steve Disalvo accepted. You two will meet at SuperClash. Patera: I'm dedicating my SuperClash win over that weakling Disalvo to my friend and partner, Brad Rheingans. Disalvo, you're nothing but a low down dirty cheater! You injured my friend and now I'm going to hurt you. You're no match for me! Rheingans: I'm just happy I'm going to get an up close view of watching that despicable Disalvo suffer. Commercial Break Stan 'The Lariat' Hansen vs. Warren Coolidge Hansen just destroys Coolidge and finishes him off with his lariat! Hansen goes to the outside, pushes Nelson out of the way and grabs his bull rope. Hansen gets in the ring and chokes Coolidge with it. The crowd goes nuts as PAUL ORNDORFF hits the ring!!! Orndorff clotheslines Hansen from behind! Orndorff stomps down on Hansen. The fans are going nuts as Orndorff hoists Hansen up and piledrives him down!! The atmosphere is electric! Orndorff rips off his shirt, throws it down on Hansen and gives the fans a pumped up flex. Orndorff is back! Commercial Break The Moondogs w/Skandor Akbar vs. Sam and Steve Smith Akbar applauds as Rex hits a backbreaker on Sam, holds him as Spot comes off the middle ropes with a knee to the chest for the win. Afterwards, the Moondogs grab their bones and give their fallen opponents a beat down with them. Akbar gives a promo and says after what just happened is there any doubt that the Moondogs are going to win the SuperClash tag team battle royal and the National tag titles. He warns all the teams especially Karachi Vice that the Moondogs will cause destruction at SuperClash! Commercial Break Tommy Jammer vs. Colt Stevens Jammer hits the California Splash for the win. Jammer steps on his opponent's chest and does a surfing pose that irks the fans. Nelson: Tommy, it appears that nobody has yet to answer your SuperClash challenge. Jammer: You know I have to say, I'm disappointed but not surprised. I thought the AWA was the Major Leagues. No worries, I guess I'll go back to sunny California and ride some waves. At least I'll find some excitement there, which is a lot more that I can say about the AWA. Cheers as Leo Burke walks out. Burke: I'll get straight to the point. I'll accept your challenge and wrestle you at SuperClash. You wanted an opponent, you got one. Jammer: (pauses, then chuckles) Look dude, I was looking for an opponent but come on man. Didn't you just lose last week to Terry Taylor? I need a bigger challenge and I don't deal with losers. Thanks Pops, but no thanks. Burke: Well, maybe this will change your mind. Burke slaps Jammer across the face! Burke: Better learn some respect...son. Burke walks away. Nelson smirks as Jammer holds his cheek. Jammer: Ok dude! It's on! Jammer walks away still holding his cheek. Commercial Break SuperClash 4 Update Resnick: Fans, things are really heating up as we get closer to SuperClash. It's going to be a clash of the titans when Hulk Hogan defends the AWA world title against Nikita Koloff. As we heard, there was only one man who could properly announce that match and it's Michael Buffer. Rock music sensation Pat Benatar will kick things off with America the Beautiful. And listen to this. AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow said there will be a special referee enforcer for the Elimination match. Well, it's a bombshell because the one and only MR.T has been given that job! If there's one man that can handle that job, it's Mr. T. It all goes down in Denver Colorado, live on pay per view, Friday January 3rd. BE THERE! Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Champs The Fantastics vs. Harold Bannister and Ray Glader During the match, the Rock n Roll Express come to ringside to scout the champs. The Fantastics look annoyed by this but get focused and win the match with the Rocket Launcher. The Fantastics hurry to the outside. They have words with RnR. Ricky and Robert are telling them they were just scouting. More words are exchanged. Tempers get heated and a pushing match ensues. Officials run out to break it up. Commercial Break David Sammartino vs. Paul Worth Sammartino finishes things off with a belly to belly suplex! Boos as Larry Zbyszko hits the ring with his nun chucks! Sammartino turns around as Larry swings, but Sammartino ducks and just goes to town on Larry with punches. Sammartino swings Larry to the ropes and kicks him in the gut. As Larry slouches over, Sammartino picks up the nun chucks and whacks Larry across the back with them! Larry goes down and rolls to the apron, then falls to the outside. Larry is in grimacing pain holding his back as a pumped up Sammartino soaks in the cheers. Commercial Break Winner gets an AWA TV Title shot at SuperClash Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart vs. 'The World's Strongest Man' Bill Kazmaier What a way for the Anvil to make his debut. However, Kaz is looking to spoil it. These two powerhouses trade some hard hitting shots and power moves. A few minutes in, Kaz finally gets an advantage. Kaz swings Anvil to the ropes and puts him down with a back elbow smash. Kaz picks up Anvil and hits a backbreaker. Kaz swings Anvil to the ropes and clamps on a bearhug! Kaz puts all his muscle into it as Anvil tries to survive. Anvil is able to rake Kaz's eyes and follow with an eye gouge to finally break it. Anvil catches his breath and hurls Kaz outside the ring. Anvil goes to the apron. Kaz staggers up as Anvil nails him with a double axehandle. Anvil swings Kaz into the steel post. Anvil grabs Kaz and rams him back first into the apron. Anvil hurls Kaz back into the ring. Anvil uses his incredible strength and hoists Kaz up and delivers a running powerslam 1..2..3! Anvil strokes his goatee and is heading to SuperClash to meet Tom Brandi for the TV title. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, before we get to our final match, I want to announce that the AWA world champion Hulk Hogan will be here next week! I'm sure he will have a lot to talk about regarding his match with Nikita Koloff at SuperClash. Also next week, Konnan goes one on one with BlackBlood. That should be quite the SuperClash preview. Ok, back to the ring. 'The Russian Nightmare' Nikita Koloff w/Col. Debeers vs. Marvin Moore and Lance Richards Nikita decimates both men. He nails Moore with the Russian Sickle! Then drops Richards with a Russian Sickle! Nikita puts a hand on each man's chest as the Ref counts 1..2..3! Debeers raises Nikita's arm as the fans boo. Nelson: After what went down at the Press Conference... Debeers cuts him off. Debeers: What went down was an eye opener for the great American Hulk Hogan. I have unleashed the true Russian Nightmare and Hulk Hogan just got a taste. At SuperClash, Nikita Koloff is going to do what he's done to all the other evil and cowardly Americans. He's going to win the fight and reclaim what's been rightfully his all along, the AWA world title! Koloff: Hogan! Hogan! The time is ticking. Your time is ticking as your worst nightmare awaits! You have what belongs to Nikita. Nikita take more than AWA world title. Nikita take away everything you are! Nikita show the world that a weak American like you is a disgrace to world title. You're an imposter holding on to my title! Nikita take back what is his! SuperClash will be the nightmare the AWA needs to happen! The show ends with Debeers twirling his mustache as Nikita sticks out his tongue and does a trap pose.

Damn, Johnson's finish was visually stunning. What a way to start the night. Flynn gets noticed with a beautiful spin kick finish. Tamura edges out Yamada with a classic Boston Crab submission. Benoit shines but Shamrock catches him with a surprise victory. Hopefully these guys go at it again. Karelin has been quietly dominating and just might take it all. Yamazaki puts up a fight but in the end Maeda proves he's still the man. Loved that suplex/armbar finish. Props to Takada, he withstood a tremendous amount of punishment, but man that finishing blow by Vader sealed the deal. Vader vs. Maeda is going to be epic! Sayama once again gets the best of Fujiwara in one heck of a main event. Sayama definitely earned his way into the finals. Your knowledge and write ups continue to impress me. Great job!

Looks like you've got things mapped out well and are ready to go. Can't wait to watch what you do with the WWF in 1990!

Survivor Series! Here we go! The Human Wrecking Machine Zeus goes on an absolute tear. Martel looks like a million bucks. However, in the end, the Bulldog is the last man standing. Hahahaha I love how Duggan just says screw it and takes the DQ allowing Quake and Bravo to win it. A lot of chaos in the next match. Tito looks good but damn, Muta was incredible. Technically Dusty is the sole survivor but not sure he actually survived. Heenan pays the price for cheating which leads to a dominating finish by Warrior ending the night on a high note. I really liked how you wrapped things up with the bonus house shows. Props to you on a tremendous WWF run.

Lancaster's fired up tonight and upsets Gorgeous Jimmy. Who better than Blackjack Mulligan to enforce law and order in Florida. Armstrong's arrive and quickly get over with a win over the New Breed. New Breed better regain focus. The entire Mando/Graham segment was outstanding. The stipulation, Blackjack and the surprise appearance by Hector and Chavo. Very well done. Rockers give it their all but the HoH still find a way to break the rules and win. I agree with Ross, the Price/Cannonball feud just might be the top feud going. Chaos ends the show which sets things up for the big cage match next week. Damn, there's never a dull moment in Florida.

AWA releases Tatsumi Fujinami AWA picks up JW Storm

Dutch took care of business but it didn't seem to rattle Sinister much I always liked how PCW gives its departing wrestlers a chance to say goodbye Bigelow is fired up for 1990 Great continuity with Busick. It looks like he's back with the old gang. Iron and Steel cut off ties with Sinister. However, there's something more sinister going on here. Severn and Blackman might be making a run at the tag gold Windham looks to get back on track Hart and Austin respectfully go their separate ways Hashimoto keeps his amazing run going. Vancouver, Eagle fly's solo and rebounds well. Lee's the new lone wolf in PCW Williams might be Steamboat's next challenger Love the match up between Hart and Rose look at that, Iron and Steel are winning over fans. Maybe Austin should hook up with these guys. Steamboat fends off Gordy a second time Kelowna, Scotty picks up a solid win...with a little help Tenryu is back on his path of destruction Austin hearing the cheers The Blondes rule breaking isn't enough to take the titles from PR Dragon's going to have an exciting reign Malenko's a submission machine 1989 was an incredible year in PCW. Bring on the 90s!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-29-89 Highlights are shown of the SuperClash 4 World title press conference. The ending sees Col Debeers hit Hogan from behind with a chair and Nikita follow with a Russian Sickle that sends Hogan tumbling over the podium. Nelson: Hello everyone and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Well, you all just saw what went down at the Press Conference. That explosive world title match will take place at SuperClash. Big show tonight as you'll see 2 big title matches. Terry Taylor defends the International title against Leo Burke. Also, Tom Brandi defends the TV title against Derrick Dukes. All that and a lot more, so let's go to the ring and kick things off with our huge International title match. AWA International Title Bout 'The Red Rooster' Terry Taylor (C) vs. Leo Burke The bell rings. Taylor slicks his ponytail back and flings his hands at Burke. Burke responds by knocking Taylor down with a running forearm blast. Burke picks up Taylor, swings him to the ropes and nails him with a back elbow smash, then follows with a knee drop 1..2..Kick Out. Burke continues to work over Taylor and executes a vertical suplex 1..2..Kick Out. Burke swings Taylor into the corner and charges in, but Taylor lifts his knees as Burke crashes into them. Taylor clears the cobwebs and angrily stomps down on Burke. Taylor swings Burke to the ropes and back drops him. Taylor swings off the ropes and hits Burke with a forearm drop 1..2..Kick Out. Taylor snapmares Burke over and applies a chinlock. Taylor wrenches away. Burke fights it and starts to fire up. Burke rises with Taylor on his back. Burke back pedals Taylor into the turnbuckles. Burke turns around and unloads on Taylor with European uppercuts. Burke hip tosses Taylor across the ring. Taylor staggers up as Burke puts him down with a clothesline 1..2..Kick Out. Burke reaches down but Taylor lowblows Burke, rakes his eyes and quickly cradles Burke with a handful of tights 1..2..3! Burke is keeled over as Taylor rolls out of the ring. Taylor gets his title and pats himself on the back. Commercial Break Karachi Vice vs. Carl Kellerman and William Hillman Makhan hits a corner splash on Hillman, slams him down and tags in Gama. Gama finishes things off with the Boston Crab. Karachi Vice cut a promo on the SuperClash battle royal for the National tag titles. They say they'll be the last team standing and note that they'll see the Moondogs in there. Commercial Break Nelson: Coming out now is the AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow. Brenda Britton walks over. Britton: Alright Nelson, you know the deal. Nelson rolls his eyes and exits. Britton: Hi everybody! Your AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow would like to address you all. Morrow: Hahahahaha thank you Brenda. Boos as the All-Stars, Austin Idol, Chicky Starr, Dream Machine and Brian Adias storm out. They all start yelling at Morrow at the same time. Morrow: Gentlemen please, calm down. Idol: Ok, it's like this darling, we were robbed plain and simple. The All-Stars were cheated! Our buddy Bill Dundee was seriously injured by Muraco and is nowhere to be seen. It's like this Gerry. We won the War Games fair and square but Armstrong, Parsons, Sugar and Beefcake had to cheat their way to wins. In other words, this isn't over. Dream: That's right babay! Morrow: You do bring up a good point. You did win War Games and now they have won the series of matches. I had a feeling this wouldn't be settled. So, here's what I propose. At SuperClash, de 4 of you will wrestle de 4 of them in an elimination match with a twist. When a fall occurs in de match, de match will stop. De wrestlers in de ring will then leave de match. However, de winner of dat fall will remain with de AWA while de loser will leave de AWA. I will also appoint a special enforcer to make sure de wrestlers are escorted out so there are no problems for de reminder of de match. It is the only way to be fair and end dis feud. The All-Stars huddle up. Idol: It's a deal darling! I guarantee the 4 of us will remain in the AWA. Starr: (slowly dusting off his hands) They go down. Easy as that. Adias: Nobody gets the best of the All-Stars! Nobody! Britton: Wow! Another big SuperClash announcement from your AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow. It always happens here. Tooooodles! Commercial Break Carlos Colon vs. Trent Watkins Colon wins the match with a flying clothesline from the top rope. Colon cuts a promo on his no time limit match with Tony St. Clair at SuperClash. Colon says they've gone the limit twice but at SuperClash, despite what Les Thornton thinks, he's going to outwrestle and defeat St. Clair once and for all. Commercial Break We come back and see Stan Hansen in front of a SuperClash banner Hansen: Paul Orndorff! I broke your skinny neck and now you want more? Fine by me boy! I will be more than happy to end your career permanently! See you at SuperClash! (Hansen spits tobacco on the ground) Nelson: Strong words from Stan Hansen. He'll be in action right here next week. Right now I would like to bring out the AWA world tag team champs, the Fantastics. Huge pop as the Fantastics come out. They hold their titles high as the fans cheer. Rogers: Larry, before we say anything, we want to invite the Rock n Roll Express out here. Another huge pop as RnR come out. The two teams start off with some respectful comments. Then they have some fun bantering about their similar looks and styles. Things get a little heated but stay respectful when they start talking about who the better team really is. Things get more intense when RnR say they're walking out of SuperClash with the titles. The Fantastics tell RnR they made a big mistake giving up the National titles because that's the only gold they're ever going to see in the AWA. The two teams get nose to nose and a pushing match ensues. Officials quickly come out to break things up before it goes to a different level. Commercial Break SuperClash 4 Update Ken Resnick is standing in front of a SuperClash banner. Resnick: Fans, things are really heating up as we're on the road to SuperClash 4. I still can't believe what went down at the World Title press conference. Hulk Hogan vs. Nikita Koloff is going to be an epic showdown we'll never forget. Ok new matches signed this week. It's now official that Terry Taylor will defend the International title against Don Muraco. You heard about the elimination match with a twist. It was announced that Col Debeers will indeed be in action that night against Spike Huber. I've also been told that next week's TV title drawing match will be for a shot at SuperClash. Also just announced, El Canek and Konnan will take on Blackblood and Soultaker in a street fight! And lets not forget about the celebrities which include Pat Benatar singing America the Beautiful and none other than Michael Buffer announcing the main event. It all happens on January 3rd in Denver Colorado live on pay per view! SuperClash 4...Be There! Commercial Break 'The Rock' Don Muraco w/Superstar Graham vs. Todd Rooney Muraco aggressively wins the match with a tombstone piledriver. Graham is in Muraco's ear as they head too ringside. Nelson: Ok, at SuperClash you Don Muraco will wrestle Terry Taylor for the International title. Muraco: That's right! I beat that little runt Bill Dundee to get this shot and now I'm going to do the same to you Taylor! No mercy! No mercy! No mercy! Graham: Donnie's a little fired up right now. Just take it easy Donnie. Calm down and let's not let aggression get in the way of staying focused. You got this brother. Just be cool. Muraco: Hey, at SuperClash it's for all the marbles Billy. This is why I'm in the AWA and there's no way I'm coming up short at SuperClash. You're going down Taylor! And that's a fact! Commercial Break 'The Living Legend' Larry Zbyszko vs. Roland Jenkins Zbyszko easily wins the match with a swinging neckbreaker. Nelson: Ok, Larry, it will be you and David Sammartino locked inside a steel cage at SuperClash. Zbyszko: Wow Spudhead, thanks for the update. You really earn your money around here. So, Bruno's boy wants to play grown up and get into the cage with me. Let me tell you something punk. You've been a thorn in my side for way too long. At SuperClash, I'm taking you to Larry Land and I'm going to take great pleasure in grinding that stupid face of yours into the cage. You'll be left a bloody mess when I get through with you. I'm going to beat you so bad that your daddy won't even recognize you. Commercial Break AWA TV Title Bout 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi (C) vs. Derrick Dukes w/The Vin Man The first few minutes is fast paced back and forth action. Brandi gets in some high energy offense with dropkicks, hip tosses, arm drags, back drops and assorted flying maneuvers. Dukes comes back with some explosive offense as well such as body slams, suplexes, clotheslines and dropkicks. Brandi gets back in control until a distraction from Vinnie puts Dukes back in control. Dukes executes a hanging vertical suplex, then goes to the top rope. Dukes goes for a flying elbow drop but Brandi moves at the last second. Brandi regroups and goes to town on Dukes. Vinnie hops on the apron but Brandi dropkicks him off! Brandi quickly goes to the top rope. Dukes staggers up as Brandi hits a beautiful flying press 1..2..3!!! The show ends with Brandi standing on the turnbuckles holding his title high to the cheering fans.

WrestleWar! Embry's fighting spirit is really getting over with the fans. If you're going to put Woman's wrestling on the map, Medusa is the perfect choice to build around. Kerin and Dutch continue to put everything they have into this throwback Memphis feud. I absolutely loved the pay off with the DWB storyline. The Armstrong "injury" angle was so well done. Brad gets some gold! I thought for sure Doom was going to take this one hahaha. Very creative ending. Jimmy is a lot smarter than we thought. The team of HTM and Valentine were a guilty pleasure of mine, so it's cool seeing them get a title run. Whoever that big blonde man was, he certainly is an ally and good friend of Slaughter. Big moment for Sarge. Nice touch having it all come down to Hayes and Roberts. Hayes is the last Freebird standing. Talk about sweet revenge. I liked that you had Hart really get his head shaved and didn't cheat the fans. This has been the week of epic 60 minute draws. All I can say is I can't wait for the rematch. Excellent show!

AWA SuperClash World Title Press Conference @ The Marriot Hotel Grand Ballroom, Denver Co Verne Gagne stands up at the podium in stage. There's a huge SuperClash 4 banner behind him. Nikita Koloff and Col. Debeers sit on one side. Hulk Hogan sits on the other side with the world title in front of him. AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow and Brenda Britton stand behind Verne. Extra Security is all over the place. Reporters and V.I.P.'s are seated in the audience. Verne: Thank you all for coming out. As you know, SuperClash has been the flagship event for the AWA. January 3rd at the McNichols Arena will truly be a historic and epic night for the AWA. You will witness the biggest AWA world title match in history as Hulk Hogan defends the AWA world title against Nikita Koloff. With a match of this magnitude, it's only fitting we bring in the best ring announcer. None other than Michael Buffer will do the honors. Before we get to the comments from the wrestlers involved, it should be noted that Col. Debeers has applied for and received a one night manager's license to be in Nikita's corner at SuperClash. Also, Debeers has been booked in a match at SuperClash against Spike Huber. Col. Debeers will now have his time to speak. Followed by Nikita Koloff and then the champ Hulk Hogan. Debeers: Let me address the AWA's feeble attempt to distract myself at SuperClash with a match. Simply put, Spike Huber is meaningless and will be made an example of. This is just pathetic because the AWA is trying to keep mine and Nikita Koloff's eyes off the prize. I told everyone that we're wide awake and nothing will stop Nikita Koloff from winning the AWA world title. That's where I agree with Verne Gagne. SuperClash will indeed be a historic night because that's the night America's biggest hero will fall prey to the Russian Nightmare. Nikita stands up, shakes hands with Debeers, then goes to the podium. Koloff: Let Nikita talk about the AWA. Nikita was the one who fought for AWA and the fans! Nikita was the one who was involved in bloody wars with evil, vile and corrupted men. All Americans! Nikita has world title stolen from him by disgraceful American. Hulk Hogan arrive and everybody forget about Nikita and all he do! Hogan is selfish man who use Nikita. (stares at Hogan) Just looking at this weak man makes me want to smash his face in! I promise you this Hulk Hogan, Nikita will put you down hard so that you never get up! I will make all America cry when they see you laying there begging and pleading for your life. The world title come back home to Nikita! Nikita looks at Hogan and does a trap pose. Hogan stands up as Security closes in. Things get tense but Nikita slowly goes back to his seat. Hogan: You got it all wrong Nikita! I never left you hanging brother. When you were double powerbombed, I was in Alaska. When you reached for that tag in our match, I was on the outside recovering. You could have easily come to me man to man about all this, but instead you listened to that fool and instigator Debeers. You took the coward's way out brother and here we are. I hope you and that slime Debeers are happy. But be careful what you wish for. The power of Hulkamania and America is beyond your comprehension. Nikita, you were once somebody who stood tall and now it's a shame that you've become a puppet to Debeers. So whatcha.... Nikita tackles Hogan! Security rush the scene as Hogan and Nikita roll around punching each other. Security separates them. Hogan breaks free and tackles Nikita. As Security breaks them up, Debeers hits Hogan's back with a chair! Hogan staggers forward as Nikita breaks free from Security and nails Hogan with the Russian Sickle! Hogan falls back and knocks over the podium! Verne is yelling and threatening Nikita as Debeers escorts Nikita away while everybody attends to Hogan. The place is in shambles

Welcome back! It's so fun seeing Bert and Ronnie's bantering back in our game. This is a place Todd Morton can make an impression. I hope Renesto goes full on Assassin. WHOA! Who was that lady and what was she saying? The Cubans will bring the heat here. I'm glad you and your great take on a true territory is back.

YES! Thanksgiving and Starrcade Giving the fans a 20 minute action packed JR. Title match to kick things off is the way to go. Whatley brings in the Bees and now we have new 6 man champs. Boogie Woogie Man takes out Uncle Ivan then gives Jones the beating if his life, capping off a classic feud. No surprise that Badd Co. and the Nightmares put on a show stealing match. Cool seeing Badd Co win the belts. Horrible night for Jones. Rich and Kamala give us an old school southern brawl. Manny's recent aggression pays off as he takes the title from the Golden Warrior. I know these two gave the fans their money's worth. WOW! The Andersons are all on the same page and help Tully and Arn upset the Road Warriors. Flair gets the best of Harley in a last showdown. Good sportsmanship by Flair. That's respect. What a way to cap the show and the NWA with Landel and Prichard going all the way. The icing on the cake was the stare down between the Nature Boys. Hey, you did a fantastic job with the NWA. Can't wait to see what you do with the WWF.
