The storylines keep rolling in Continental! Fuji's man Super Black Ninja gets another big win, this time over Adrian Street. Akbar said he was adding new members and he wasn't kidding as it looks like he now has the services of King Kong Bundy! Cant wait for Bundy vs. OMG! The Bruthahood is on a path of destruction as they send both Wayne and Rich out on stretchers! WOW! It only takes Cooley 43 seconds to send Casey packing! Casey has had some bad luck lately. Freebirds get the win but Herc gets the last laugh on Gordy. Gordy is going to be looking for some payback! Great storyline going with The Bullet and Stud Stable. Will they be able to get the mask off him?? This is going to be a lot of fun.

Loved the tag gauntlet matches! The Wonders get the upset of the night over the Andersons. Ebony Express win it all and get the shot against the Movement. Very interesting. Kokina finally gets the pin on Haystacks. Patera is on a tear! Looks strong with that win over Muraco. Wild 6 man tag involving all the big feuds. Man, Dibiase's reign might be in trouble with both Race and Patera coming after him. You're doing a great job with Georgia. I like teams and alliances you have put together.

You had me at Bock vs. Steamboat! Cant wait! Labor Day is stacked!

Mulligan is on fire. Gets the win over Bulba and now gets a world title match with Dibiase. Ox is still one bad dude as he sends McCord out on a stretcher. Leduc is playing his role to perfection. Another stretcher job as Ladd's Army takes young Mike down. Adams slides right into his heel role and gets the win over Hillbilly Jim. What a series! Loved all the matches. Mountain Men win it and now get a well deserved title shot. YES! Atlas and SBS win the tag titles! Cant wait for their match with the Movement! Poor Embry. He took a beating. I wonder if he will be able to find some friends for help. The battle between Wahoo and Ladd will finally come to an end as one man will end up packing. Going to be a wild one!

OOOOOOHHHHH YEA! Savage gives an awesome promo! And YES! Greg Valentine will team with him against the Briscos! Gino better watch out as he has a crazy Randy Savage and a revenge minded Valentine after him. Man, who is the Monk??? He sure is causing a lot of trouble and making a lot of enemies like JYD and Dusty Rhodes. Gilbert's win over Tonga was huge. I mentioned this before but having the Kernodle's holding titles is great. Would love to see a brother vs. brother title vs. title match. Poor Scott Casey is having a tough time in Florida. A trip to Florida is exactly what Denny Brown needed and now he gets a title shot. Savage and Valentine beat the Briscos! Gino is next!

Taylor is fighting hard but maybe to hard as he takes the fall against the Guerreros. LaFleur gets the big win over Spoiler. Can he carry that momentum into the upcoming tag title bout at Firestorm? Rip Morgan is mowing through the competition as Zenk takes the big boot. The Starrs/Cobra-Yamada feud is becoming a real gem. Cant wait for that big tag match at Firestorm. Jake gets DQed but man I feel like the TV title will be his soon. Then again, never count the Man with the Hands of Stone out.

TNT Wrestling TV @ The Roanne Fieldhouse, Memphis TN 8-30-84 Lance: Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another edition of TNT Wrestling here on the USA network.

Boos as Tully Blanchard comes out. Tully: Just stand there and hold the mic Lance. This coming Monday I get what I deserve and that's a AWA World title shot against Ted Dibiase. Leave it to Larry Hennig to ruin my moment. Once again he's trying to hold me back. Listen up Hennig! If you in any way cost me my chance at the title you will pay dearly. I don't care if your the commissioner. I'm the greatest wrestler in the AWA and so it only makes sense that I hold the greatest title in the world. Hennig, stay out of my way! Dibiase, that title comes home with me! Lance: Ok, a very determined Tully Blanchard. Let's go to the ring. Real Deal vs. Gary Williams and Todd Rooney Vaughn and McGhee work their opponents over with hip tosses, drop kicks and back drops. Vaughn hits a missile dropkick on Rooney and McGhee follows with a German Suplex to get the pin!

Fergie clamps on the Boston Crab and gets the submission win! Lance: Impressive win for Carl Fergie. Carl, it's you and George Wells this Monday night. You guys have really been going at it lately. Fergie: George Wells is an ungrateful human being. He became a better wrestler just by hanging around me and how does he thank me? By kissing up to all these idiots out here. I need to teach Georgie boy a lesson and this Monday night, I'm going to do just that! Commercial Break Mr. Wrestling 3 is standing by Lance at the podium. Lance: During the battle royal last week, we saw Jerry Grey and Johnny Valiant attack an already injured Mr. Wrestling 2 on the outside. Mr. Wrestling 3 eliminated himself to stop that attack. How's Wrestling 2 doing? Wrestling 3: He's at home resting Lance and should be back in a couple weeks. I met with Larry Hennig and the match has been signed. Myself and Jerry Grey will go one on one this Monday night. Grey! Valiant! You made a big mistake and now you're going to pay! Come Monday night you're mine!

Lot's of great teams in contention for both the AWA Southern titles and TNT titles. Two of those contending teams will face each other this Monday night as Brito and Parisi take on their current rivals the Enforcers managed by Gene Anderson. Tony Parisi, Gino Brito come on over. I'm sure the winners of that match will be in line for a title match. Brito: No doubt about it. When I called Tony up, he didn't hesitate to help me against the Enforcers. We've tasted gold before and we're ready to get through the En…. Cheers as Denny Brown joins them. Denny: You know Gino, I took a beating at the hands of the Enforcers because of you. And what did I get in return? You go out and get another partner! I take offense to that and I have an issue with you. Parisi: Hold on Denny, it wasn't like that at all... Denny: Stop just stop! Parisi, this is none of your business. Gino Brito has a debt to pay and him and I will settle this next week in the ring. Denny exits as Brito and Parisi look puzzled and disappointed. George Wells vs. Ray Turner Wells is on fire as he back drops Turner. Turner staggers up as Wells swings off the ropes and puts him down with a sphere to get the pin! Wells cuts a promo and says Fergie's the one who's going to learn a lesson when he's looking up at the lights after I put him down! Commercial Break Highlights are shown from last week as Krusher Kruschev won a battle royal to get a TV title shot against Austin Idol this Monday Night. Later, Kruschev clotheslined Idol at the podium. Lance: Joining me now is the TV champ, Austin Idol. Austin are you ready for the challenge of Kruschev? Idol: Lance baby, the Universal Heartthrob is more than ready brother! There's no way that traitor is going to waltz in to TNT and take this title from me. Come Monday night, he's going to find out why I'm holding this title because it takes a lot more than a cheap shot to beat me. Idol winks to the camera and flexes his bicep. 'Superstar' Bill Dundee vs. Stu Jersky As Idol passes by, Dundee gives him a high five. Dundee punches away on Stu then body slams him. Dundee goes to the top rope and crashes down with the Bombs Away for the pin! The fans cheer as Dundee heads to the podium. Highlights are shown from last week as Dundee pushes Lawler out of the way then takes a big boot from Jumbo Tsuruta that gave Tsuruta and Terry Funk the tag team win. After the match, Funk hit Lawler with a Russian Leg Sweep on the concrete. Lance: Well Bill, we all just saw what happened. You seem to have rebounded well. I know the King is resting up for his big title match. Bill: Lance, I did what any good partner would do. Jerry and I may not see eye to eye on everything but he knows I have his back and this Monday night, I'll be at the Coliseum keeping a close eye on that TNT title bout.

A real fight! This Monday night we want them in a tornado match! Let's see if they have the guts for a fight! Lance: Wow, a tornado match involving those 6 men! Talk about a fight! Well speaking of a fight, our main event should be just that. Commercial Break DJ Peterson vs. George 'The Animal' Steele The bell rings and Steele attacks but DJ holds his ground and punches away.

Boos as Funk comes out swinging his branding iron while wearing the title around his waist. Funk: Lawler! Your time is ticking and I cant wait to beat you down like the dirty dog you are in front of your hometown mutts. You're not tough Lawler, you're a coward who's at home because of me. Please, just stay home. No shame at all. I'm just the better man.

Big title changes as Kerry Brown wins the TV title and the Kernodles each win a title! Good to see these guys getting a good push. LOL, only Gino could win a ,match over Sullivan like that. Valentine is picking up steam again. The mysterious Monk is causing havoc! He breaks Cash's arm but none other than Hulk Hogan issues a challenge! Hogan and JYD is money! I thought the mask was coming off. I think its only a matter of time.

I agree, HTM could be a major player here and Sunshine does bring a lot to the table. I have to say the match of the loop for me was Midnight Express vs. Steamboat and Youngblood! What a classic! So glad you're teaming Youngblood and Steamboat. They really were a great team. Stasiak still has a lot of fire as he goes toe to toe with Dr. D. The Movement keeps their momentum going with a big win over the Windhams and Houston. Solid main event with two feuds going. Great stuff.

Bassarab lost but looks good against Mr. Wonderful. Crazy match between Sheepherders and Gama/Pogo! Of course Adnan plays a major role to give his men the win. Oh man, Hawk just about killed Heenan. LOL, Hennig made the right decision in leaving but thanks to Heenan, Hennig and Orndorff must now face angry Road Warriors. Bulldogs advance thanks to the Russians interference. The Russians are in serious trouble with Hansen and Bad News coming after them. Hart Foundation advance to face the Bulldogs! What a match that will be! Flair vs. Dibiase!!!! YES! That's going to be awesome!

Props to you and Gene and the hard work you put into this Super Card! Battle Royal kicks things off. Fun watching the former great team of Steamboat and Youngblood teaming up. Garvin does some great heeling and wins the battle royal. Super Black Ninja continues to dominate and gets some great exposure with a win over Steve O. Islanders and Midnights have a wild match. Islanders have to settle for a DQ win but the look on Cornette's face after Tonga no sold that racket shot was priceless. No more Rat Patrol and no more Soul Patrol as the Bruthahood is born. It took a lot of men and a lot of chairs to do it but The Movement defeat the Road Warriors to become NEW AWA TAG TEAM CHAMPS! I love the Road Warriors but man I cant wait for a Movement title reign. I have to book them in TNT real soon! Kerry and Olympia finally get payback on the Grapplers. Great finish! The Elimination tag lived up to expectations. Lot's of intrigue and drama. Bullet comes in as the Mystery partner. Shultz takes the money and runs. And of course Buddy Landel is the last man standing. Classic Continental style match. Stud and Windham put on a hard hitting contest. WOW! Shultz blasts Stud and Windham unifies the titles! Shultz is one of my favorites in the league. Windham is a major player in WCCW. Absolute classic between Bock and Kevin! I thought Kevin won it! But NO! The classic Dusty finish LOL. I have to admit, I wasn't ready for Bock's reign to end so this works out and it keeps Kevin strong. Dibiase and Gordy finish the show. Gordy hung in there but the neck was the issue and Dibiase capitalized to retain the AWA title! Dibiase is ruling the AWA. Awesome job! I hope WCCW and Continental do this again.

The Patriots pick up another impressive win. I'm impressed with the Horner/Prichard pairing. Good job here. They get a huge win over Duk and Hiro. Kokina is rising fast as he goes toe to toe with Blackwell in Macon then SQUASHES Beefcake in Columbus. Haystacks better be ready. Patera puts down Sawyer. Patera could be a main event player real soon. Race is rolling as he beats Muraco then tells Hart he better leave the territory for his own safety. Those are chilling words. I wonder what Krupp has in mind for the Italian Stallion??? I could watch Martel and Arn wrestle forever. Once again, you continue to do a great job building up the Reed/Saito match. When they finally meet one on one it will bring in nothing but money. Race/Blackwell and Patera are a true force as they take down Dibiase, Muraco and Sawyer. Did Gary Hart take Race's advice?

Good grief what a wild show! Battle lines have been drawn as Big Cat builds his army while Mulligan is finding some powerful allies. Loving the Mountain Men/Super Samoans series. It all comes down to the Coal Miners Glove match. Atlas/Leduc followed by Mulligan and Boone! What a segment! Bulba might be in trouble as he faces Mulligan in a bullrope match next week. I have a feeling chaos is coming. Leduc is nuts! He just threatened the Lawman's life! As if all this wasn't enough, Adams shocks everybody and turns on Mike! Apparently the Von Erichs have a lot of enemies. Wahoo and Big Cat brawl to a double c.o. It might be a long time before this gets resolved.

TNT House Show The Armory, Fort Worth Ind. 8-25-84 'The Ace' Art Crews and 'Downtown' Denny Brown fought to a 10 minute draw 'Cowboy' Bob Orton defeated George Wells Carl Fergie interfered by tripping Wells allowing Orton to catch a staggering Wells and execute a double arm suplex for the pin. Kansas Jayhawks defeated The Blonde Bombers w/Johnny Valiant Jayhawks put Rogers down with a double clothesline for the pin. DJ Peterson defeated 'Cool' Carl Fergie Wells returned the favor and tripped Fergie. Fergie staggered forward and DJ nailed him with a flying shoulder tackle for the win. TNT Tag Team Title Bout Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis (C) defeated Polynesian Power During a pier six brawl, Adonis threw Tapu out of the ring then nailed Tio from behind with a high knee which allowed Murdoch to hoist Tio up and drop him with the brainbuster to get the win. 'Superstar' Bill Dundee defeated 'Golden Boy' Jerry Grey w/Johnny Valiant Valiant's interference backfired as he accidentally hit Grey. Dundee body slammed Grey, then hit the Bombs Away for the win. AWA Southern Tag Team Title Bout The Fabulous Ones (C) and Cuban Assassins w/Ratamyus battled to a wild double DQ! TNT Title Bout Terry Funk (C) defeated Cocoa Samoa Cocoa had things going his way and went for a diving headbutt from the top rope but Funk moved then staggered up and executed a piledriver for the pin.

TNT has George the Animal Steele, Cocoa Samoa and Mr. Wrestling 2 on the block.

Continental doesn't miss a beat as the storylines just get better. Loving the Soul Patrol as they are gaining serious momentum. The Lars/OMG feud is heating up. Cant wait for that collision. Madril and Herc do a number on Gordy's neck. This could be a huge factor in Gordy's title match with Dibiase. Super Black Ninja continues his winning ways with a big win over Buddy Jack. Oh man! Casey walks out on Cooley! Cooley will want answers. The team of Bundy/Street and Olympia is a sight to see LOL. Brad takes Buddy to the limit until chaos breaks out! That 10 man tag at the Super Dome is going to be off the charts!

Action packed night at the Omni! Patriots rise in the rankings with a win over the Gladiators. Sawyer gets a strong win over Beefcake. Horner and mystery partner Prichard send the Devil's Duo packing. Horner and Prichard could make for an exciting young team. Battle of the monsters! Kokina gets the c.o. victory but I have a feeling more is to come. That sneaky David once again retains the TV title. Oh man, Saito gets the pin on Reed. I cant wait for their inevitable one on one match! The build has been brilliant. Crowd pleasing moment of the night as Martel gets Brad to fight the Andersons. Great match! Martel and Armstrong win the titles! I know the fans blew the roof off the Omni. The good feeling comes to a halt as Harley shocks everyone and aligns himself with Patera and Blackwell! This trio will be a force in Georgia. Man they put a beating on Dibiase. Dibiase vs. Race will be money!

Awesome job! Very well done and easy to follow. I know you put a lot of work into that and brother it paid off. Steamboat and Garvin have great showings. The Studd/Brody segment adds fire to their already hot feud. I know the fans went nuts when Kerry eliminated Grappler. Stasiak had a strong showing and is looking good in his twilight. Grappler puts Kerry down with the loaded boot and then it happens. This might of been my favorite debut by a wrestler in this game. LOL the Honkytonk Man comes in and wins the round up and title! I loved it! You did a great job hyping him up with the vignettes and now he's way over. Sunshine and HTM draw insane heat. Very much looking forward to what this duo does here. Man I cant wait for the Super Dome card!

We've also got a gigantic main event tonight as TNT champ Terry Funk teams with Jumbo Tsuruta to take on Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee. Last week Tsuruta powerbombed Dream Machine on the concrete. Dream Machine will be out of action for a bit. Lawler and Dundee are good friends with Dream Machine and will be out for some payback tonight. We saw Lawler and Funk get into it last week and I'm sure we'll see a lot more of that in the main event. Well we now know Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis are the new TNT tag team champs. The champs are in the ring and ready for our opening match. TNT Tag Team Champs Dick Murdoch and Adrian Adonis vs. Gary Williams and Todd Rooney The new champs dominate their opponents. Murdoch tags in Adonis. Murdoch swings Rooney to the ropes and gives him a punch in the mid section as Adonis follows with a DDT for the win! Lance: With me now are the new TNT tag team champs. Congratulations to both of you. Murdoch: We came to TNT to have a good ol time while beating people up. We steamrolled through the tournament and these here titles prove what we already knew. Adonis: And that is that we're the best tag team in not only TNT but the entire AWA as well. If anybody has a problem with that, then come on down and do something about it. Commercial Break 'Bruiser' Bob Sweetan vs. Kent Jenkins Bob puts a good beating on Kent then swings him to the ropes and clotheslines him down. Bob hoists Jenkins up and executes the piledriver for the win! Lance: Bob Sweetan, come on over. I understand you have something to say. Bob: Lance, I've been in this business a long time. I came to TNT to win some gold. Well so far I've come up short but rest assured I'm not done! There's a title that's right up my ally. I'm talking about the Brass Knuckles title! Nobody is as tough as I am with these fists and I'm issuing a challenge to Hercules Ayala. Ayala, let's have a fight! Commercial Break AWA Southern Tag Champ Stan Lane w/Steve Keirn vs. 'Polish Power' Ivan Putski w/Ratamyus Putski attacks at the bell and pounds away on Lane.

Lane gets up but the Assassins double clothesline him down! Putski gets up and joins in. The Assassins swing Lane to the ropes and Putski puts him down with the Polish Hammer! The Assassins swing Keirn to the ropes and Putski puts him down with the Polish Hammer! The fans boo as Ratamyus and his men stand tall over the Fabulous Ones. Winner by DQ- Stan Lane Commercial Break Lance: My goodness, the Fabulous Ones were helped out of here after taking quite a beating at the hands of Putski and the Cuban Assassins. This situation seems far from over. Fans, please welcome out the Commissioner of TNT, Larry the Axe Hennig. Larry I know you've got something to say. Larry: Thank you Lance. As you know I met with Verne Gagne this week and wanted to set some things straight. I didn't like Tully going over my head and I didn't like Verne signing this world title bout before checking with me. Verne and I had a long talk and I believe we're now on the same page. Now, on September 2nd at the big Labor Day event, Ted Dibiase will defend the AWA world title against Tully Blanchard. That match now has a special referee and that referee will be yours truly! Big Pop that turns to boos when Tully Blanchard storms out. Tully: Oh what a surprise. Here we go again. Listen Hennig, I don't know what your problem is but I'm telling you right now, you better stay out of my way in that match. If you cost me the AWA World title in any way, so help me, you will pay dearly. That's a promise! Larry: Tully, I've told you before, you're a tremendous wrestler and I do believe you can become world champ but your tactics are unbecoming of a champion. You don't need to resort and stoop to those levels. You're better than that. Wrestle the match clean and we wont have any issues whatsoever. Tully: (Pauses) You heard what I said. Commercial Break Lance: Ok fans, it's time for the 10 man battle royal. The participants will be Cocoa Samoa, Jerry Grey (W/Johnny Valiant), Carl Fergie, Mr. Wrestling 3 (W/Mr. Wrestling 2), George Wells, Art Crews, DJ Peterson, Killer Brooks, a returning Denny Brown and flying in from Florida, Krusher Kruschev.

Krushev staggers up, charges over and nails DJ with a clothesline from behind that sends him over the top rope! Krusher Krushev wins the battle royal! Commercial Break Lance: Ok, Krusher Kruschev wins an exciting battle royal and now will face Austin Idol on September 2nd for the TV title. Krushev: People wonder why I've adopted the Russian ways. It's because of weak Americans like Austin idol. Idol is nothing but a clown and a disgrace. He represents what is wrong with America. I'm here to send a message. Television needs to be represented by a true athletic specimen. I'm the man to do it! On September 2nd, I'm coming to win that TV title and beat up Austin Idol! Lance: Strong words from Krusher Krushev. Let's go to the ring as the TV champ is set for action.

Those two are heading for a showdown on September 2nd at the Mid South Coliseum. Fans, I want to take you to some pre recorded comments from the AWA World Champ Ted Dibiase. Dibiase: On September 2nd, I come back to TNT to defend MY AWA world title. Tully Blanchard is confident, arrogant and has a giant ego but I like that because so do I! But Tully, do you really have what it takes to win this title? I've beaten the best the AWA has to offer. Hulk Hogan! Wahoo McDaniel! Terry Gordy! Masked Superstar! They all have tried and they all have failed. Tully Blanchard you are no different. You will be just another notch in my belt. This title will be with me for a long time to come. Mark my words! Lance: Ok, Ted Dibiase seems more than ready for his upcoming title defense against Tully Blanchard. Fans, joining me now is the Brass Knuckles champ Hercules Ayala. You heard the challenge made by Bob Sweetan, do you accept. Ayala: Nothing to accept because Bob Sweetan will be no challenge! If he wants to fight then I will destroy him!

Commercial Break Lance: Well fans this has been a wild show indeed. Whoa here come the Fabulous Ones. The Fabs are still reeling from earlier. Keirn: We thought we were done with Ratamyus and the Cuban Assassins but I guess not. Lane: We just got off the phone with somebody else who has issues with Ratamyus and Putski. I'm talking about Tito Santana! Keirn: September 2nd, it's the three of us against those three goons. You boys better be ready for a fight! Lance: Oh my! I'll tell you what, that Labor Day card is really heating up, Tito Santana will be coming back. After what Putski did to him last week, I know Tito will want revenge.

I agree, this card is beyond stacked! Cant wait!

WHOA! Gino might be the craziest man in the AWA after that promo. He's going to unleash the madness of the Macho Man. These two are heading for a bloody encounter. The Mysterious Monk is causing quite the stir. He gave the American Dream a brutal beating but I'm sure Rhodes will come back stronger than ever with revenge on his mind. Weaver and White continue their successful tag title reign. Valentine gets a good win over Saito. I'm hoping the Hammer moves back up in the main event picture. Church of Boogie Woogie is still going strong. One of the most creative ideas in the game LOL.

Solid series of matches. Stasiak's win over Houston shows he still has some fire left. Like that Kerry/Grappler match as these two have quite the feud going. Awesome dream main event! The fans defiantly went home happy.

Awesome set of tournament matches that had something for everybody. Hart Foundation are united and advance. Sheepherders and Sheiks go to a wild double c.o. The rematch will be insane! Bad News wasn't lying as he gets STAN HANSEN as his partner!!!! Hansen kicks out of the Sickle and later puts Volkoff down with the lariat! Awesome stuff! Well, if Stu was looking to punish the Bulldogs it backfired as they get the shocking win over the Road Warriors! Flair vs. JYD in 84! YES!

Taylor proves to be a strong addition to the Brigade. Smothers shows how tough he is by hanging with Slater and Borne even helping Billy get the win. LOL even with the win, Flowers is still creeped out by Jake. Fun story going here. Yamada does the impossible and gets one over on Chicky. Solid main event that goes the limit. Cant wait for the rematch.

Nice loop here. Dibiase finally finishes off Masked Superstar in the cage! Love that RnR/Super Destroyers match! Talk about getting your money's worth. Oliver and Miller steal the belts from RnR. This feud is going to be epic. Shawn Michaels continues to impress as he goes over 30 minutes with champ Armstrong. LOL, Marvelous Masked Manager gets unmask but manages to escape without his identity being revealed.
