Love that we will be getting more Steamboat-Hennig Sid is on fire... Looking forward to seeing if he can be stopped. Freebirds vs RnR Express... great tag team angle! Not sure anyone can stop Doom but this is wrestling so someone will... looking forward to this also.

Got it thanks. I wasn't sure if it was becasue he was in the other ring.

Eddie Guerrero and Rick Martel would be a fun match... wish they were both in their prime sometime in history as these two were awesome and both were two of my favorites. Bigelow vs Dean Malenko... what a contrast in styles... again really liked both of these guys. Nice balance to your shows!

Everything is moving nicely towards Wrestlemania! Funk attacking Tito at SNME with the branding iron is sure-fire heat!! This one is going to be fun. These were always two of my favorites! Nasty Boys vs Fantastics... tough choice... the old toy vs the new toy... can't go wrong with either one. Snake vs Warrior!!! I know who I'm rooting for. The brain vs the braun... another 50-50 match that is going to be real exciting. Great work as always.

Great job with WarGames. I enjoyed the creativity of the early matches. While they weren't such big names, you had built it up nicely. All the matches towards the end of the night really delivered and gave us a look at the future of WCW. Rude and Nikita might need another go round, awesome match with Steamboat and Hennig and what a tag match with Demolition and Doom! Doom is now the gold standard in WCW tag team wrestling... who can be next to challenge them. Love the chaos of WarGames! What a monster SId is! I do have a question on the rules of WarGames as I am not familiar with it... at the end you said Sting, Davey Boy and Avil won. Didn't Owen also win?

Again, so well done. While we always get a cartoon type match to entertain us, it is Pretty n Pink, namely Tasha that steels the show. Can't wait to see what happens at the Armory.

What an angle!!!! Love it. Morrow and his money have the nerve to come back to the AWA and then all Hell breaks loose. That was truly a great read! Also, can't wait for the AWA Title Tourny! Wildfire is back!!!

FEB 26-MARCH 2, 1991 USWA WRESTLING NEWS This week we are informed on both USWA Dallas and USWA Memphis that USWA Wrestling will be entering a new era in television next week with a 2-hour program known as TNT will be airing in all USWA markets. TNT stands for Texas n Tennessee where the best in USWA Wrestling takes place each and every week. We are informed that the show will alternate weeks with one week coming from Texas and the next coming from Tennessee. Next week’s huge inaugural show will take place in the Sportatorium in downtown Dallas, Texas. On that show we will see the USWA World Tag Team Champions, Soul-les (Vader & Cactus Jack) and Kevin Sullivan take on the Steiner Brothers and a mystery partner, Jerry “The King” Lawler take on “Wild” Bill Irwin for the USWA Texas Heavyweight Title and Randy “Macho Man” Savage with Miss. Elizabeth will defend the USWA World Title against Michael Wallstreet and Miss Alexandria York! These great matches and so, so much more on the first every episode as USWA Wrestling presents TNT…. BANG!!! On both shows we get some fiery promos!! Soul-less: Kevin Sullivan: “It’s a funny thing… for the first time in my life… I feel something. I’ve never felt sad for all those wrestlers I left laying there in pile of their own blood. I’ve never felt angry at all those wrestlers who tried to cheat me out of what I deserved… I never felt anything for the mother’s whose sons ended their careers… Nothing… that is until now… and that feeling is … one of satisfaction as I know myself, along with Vader and Cactus Jack are about to end the careers … if you can call it that of the Steiner Brothers.” Cactus Jack: Somewhere deep in my demented mind… I have a soft spot not for the Steiners but a soft spot for all that I have accomplished… a soft spot for all the people I’ve hurt… A soft spot for how I will be remembered in wrestling history… a soft spot for my ability to block and pain …and a soft spot for what I will do to you two next week on a show that seems to be made for me…TNT…. BANG BANG!! Vader: Rick… Scott… I just want to remind you what you’ve done. Because you two have felt the Wrath of Vader … Cactus Jack … and our leader… Kevin Sullivan… you two should be ashamed of yourselves. Instead of just putting your tail between your legs and high tailing it out of the USWA, you are set to bring in another man… a mystery man… to suffer at the hands of Soul-less! You two and you two alone are responsible for what we are about to do to your mystery partner!” Rick Steiner: “Soul-less…. Scott and myself know that we are the two best wrestlers in the U.S. today … it doesn’t matter if it’s singles or tag team… we will take on anyone and we feel confident about the outcome. The problem is Soul-less, its never one against one, or two against two. They always need to outnumber you or bring weapons into the match… well not this time… the man we got coming next week is going to fight, yes fight, like a wild animal!” Scott Steiner: “Kevin Sullivan… oh Kevin Sullivan… you don’t know what your ready for. You talk about doing that needs to be done to get the job done. You take about biting your opponents, you talk about stomping them, you talk about hitting them with chairs, you talk about your Golden Spike… well let met tell you this… you better be ready for a rabies shot after next week because you are about to have a fight with a back of wolves!! “Wild” Bill Irwin: The King of Memphis is coming to Texas for my title. What a joke! The King of Memphis is like the Princess of Dallas. People growing up in Tennessee grow up drunk because they can’t stomach to look at each other. Were Texas Tough here and your Tennessee soft Lawler. Come down to Texas if you dare and we’ll teach you some Southern Justice.” Jerry Lawler: Wild Bill… I heard your comments about the King of Memphis would be like the Princess of Texas. I thought that was pretty good from a state where education is still optional. You know what the average Texas student gets on his SAT’s… Drool! Wild Bill…you talk about Southern Justice… there’s any justice is Texas. I mean the only thing going up in Dallas is the unsolved murder rate… that might be because everyone has the same DNA in Dallas… can you say inbreeds! Jokes aside… I’m really excited about how the USWA is expanding and the first episode of TNT is going to be great! …The match is between me and you Bill ….and just letting you know… the King is about to increase his empire. Michael Wallstreet: (Holding the computer printout of the scouting report on Macho Man Randy Savage) “It is now apparent that money can buy everything… My wealth and Miss. Yorks computer skills have come up with a fool prove plan to beat you next week on TNT! Randy “Macho Man” Savage: Oh yeah… this is from the Macho Man and its to you Michael Wallstreet and the York Foundation. Your money cannd buy all these computers… your money can hire that secretary of yours to do all your scouting for you….oh yeah… that money of yours can buy you the best workout equipment… the best sparring partners and even a USWA World Title shot oh yeah…. But I know people like you and in your simple minds, you never have enough money… so I’m going to give you a dime… oh nooo, I got a better idea… I’m going to flatten you into a dime so you can stick yourself in a phone booth and call someone to take you to the doctor… oh yeah…. Call a friend cause the Macho Man just stole your chance!

USWA also adds Honky Tonk Man to the list

USWA drops Mike Jackson and adds Skandar Akbar

By our rules, he would be off. I will remove him.

USWA has Abdullah the Butcher, Women and Mike Rotundo and Terri Runnels to the trade block.

Nice job moving the WCW forward as all the big names are getting a push as we have a small lull in thge big shows. Like Steamboat getting right back at Hennig!

USWA Fallout After Texas Tough The most notable thing coming out Texas Tough is the mass exodus of wrestlers moving on to new promotions. Those leaving the USWA include the former USWA World Tag Team Champions, Animal and Hawk, the former USWA Southern Tag Team champions, the Rock n Roll Express, First Family members “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert and “Wildfire” Tommy Rich, along with Mil Mascaras and Terry Taylor. Both Jerry Jarrett and Kevin VonErich vow that help is on the way but also added that this gives some of other wrestlers the chance to prove themselves and raise up the ranks. This is especially true on the babyface side of the tag team division with both the Road Warriors and the Rock n Roll Express moving on. For now, we will have to see if the Cam-Am Express and the Ebony Express can answer the call! Both Jarrett and VonErich said they are going to stack some of their stars in the main events of this week’s big shows in the Sportatorium and the Midsouth Coliseum. USWA DALLAS: Feb, 20,1991: Sportatorium “Mr. Magnificent” Kevin Kelly defeated Crash Holly with the chokeslam. There was nothing Crash could did with the size difference in this one! “The Nubian Terror” Moadib with Kevin Sullivan destroyed “Chief” Joe Lightfoot. No matter what Lightfoot did, Moadib completely No Sold the move and acted like he was being attacked by a gnat. The end was extremely violent and to the liking of Sullivan as Moadib connected with a middle rope back drop and then followed it up with a top rope diving headbutt! The Ebony Express got the babyfaces on the board with their biggest win to date as the defeated Southern Justice with Wild Bill Irwin when Booker T nailed Tex Slazenger with a big heel kick to the temple while Booker T speared Wild Bill off the apron to stop the interference! Michael Wallstreet with Miss. York defeated Steve Simpson with the airplane spin/Samoan Drop combo. Stunning Steve Austin with Medusa delighted the crowd with a win over the Grappler in a very physical match that eventually saw Austin nail the Grappler with the Stun Gun! USWA Texas Heavyweight Title Match-No Disqualification “Wild” Bill Irwin © defeated the Missing Link in this “No DQ” match as Southern Justice attacked Link. This match was set up by the card at Texas Tough where Irwin, on purpose, tossed Link over the top rope to save his title. This stipulation backfired on Kevin VonErich as he hoped to make this a fair match but this allowed Tex Slazenger and Shanghai Pierce to get involved. The Ebony Express, Booker T and Stevie Ray rushed out and chased away the heels but the damage was already done. Main Event: USWA World Tag Team Championship Match The Steiners defeated Soul-les (Vader & Cactus Jack) by DQ as Kevin Sullivan dragged Rick Steiner from the ring and attacked him once again with the Golden Spike. Scott rushed over and really cleared the area as he was like a man possessed. While the heels left with their titles, the fans are going to be talking about how bad-assed Scott Steiner was when his brother was attacked! USWA Memphis: Monday, Feb 23, 1991: Midsouth Coliseum White Lightening Tim Horner defeated Bad Boy Billie Black with the rolling cradle Sweet Brown Sugar defeats Moondog Rex with the Missile Dropkick Mike Graham defeats Ken Timbs with the Figure 4. In his return to the territory, “The Fab One” Steve Keirn defeats “Pretty Boy” Doug Somers with the Reverse DDT which we later find out is called the Gatorbreaker. This match had a bit of comedy as Pretty Boy tried to play to the women on the crowd who just ignored him but, wow, they went nuts when Steve Keirn came out. USWA Southern Tag Team Title Match: The Destruction Crew © defeated The Cam-Am Express by using what seemed like an unlimited number of dirty tactics. Dan Kroffit did a great job of selling and playing the face in peril and Furnas was awesome clearing the ring after the hot tag but it looked like Wayne Bloom nailed Furnas with some sort of metal object he was hiding in his trunks. This led to the big Doomsday Device finisher and the champs survive their first title defense! Loser-Leaves Memphis for 12 Months Jerry Lawler defeats the Honky Tonk Man when Jimmy Hart’s plan backfired as he tried to get revenge on Lawler by hitting him with a fireball but hit HTM instead! Lawler followed this up with a piledriver which was deemed legal for this match by Jerry Jarrett. It will be interesting to see what happens to Jimmy Hart as his entire stable is now gone from Memphis as Tommy Rich and Eddie Gilbert left after Texas Tough. USWA World Title Match: Steel Cage Randy “Macho Man” Savage with Miss. Elizabeth © vs “The Total Package” Lex Luger with JJ Dillon The steel cage match was used for this match to try and keep JJ Dillon from interfering like he did at Texas Tough and also to try and keep the action in the ring as so much of it last week was fought out on the floor. Since this is a house show, all you get is the finsh… Randy Savage defeats Lex Luger when he came off the top of the cage with a flying elbow! Savage is now 2 for 2 against Luger.

Great write up of the WarGames match. That was awesome.
