Great Saturday Night Main Event!! Snake with the 30th Spot is such an advantage. Snake is so good at both heel and babyface he could do anything for you if he was to become the champ. Can't wait for the Royal Rumble. Terry Funk in the ring with two Rhodes.... awesome. Great write up here. I wonder what Manny is thinking about Black Bart! Maybe Bart needs some friends. Lawler over VonErich is a good choice in my opinion. The King being chased by all the wanna-be Kings. This is going to be fun. Nice write up of the DK vs Benoit match. I really lie Benoit at this time in history. He was so tough!!

Really interesting show leading up to Superclash! I like Dundee going after Muraco because of Graham's use of the moniker Superstar. Great visual with Cactus Jack screaming and laughing while being hanged by the Hangman. Morrow not only lays down the law to the Horsemen about releasing the Figure Four and stopping the beating on Hulk but then adds that he needs Hogan and Flair in the ring for next week to inform them of something for Superclash. Can't wait for this one!

Fallout from Wrestlecade II - Coming right out of Wrestlecade II, Jerry Jarrett announces that USWA is already gearing up for its last major card of 1990 which is titles Last Stand. It will be on Monday night, December 29th at the Midsouth Coliseum. -Jerry “The King” Lawler has been suspended indefinitely for his use of a fireball at Wrestlecade. Lawler had enough of the First Family and specifically Honky Tonk Man which resulted in him tossing a fireball right into the face of his cousin. Jimmy Hart was screaming this week on tv saying that Lawler has crossed the line and should be out of wrestling forever. Hart claims Honky Tonk Man has severe eye damage and may be blinded for life with what The King did. Hart goes so far to ask the tv audience to help pay for the extensive medical bills that Honky Tonk Man will have and actually gives an address where they can send money to help the cause. -The new World USWA Television Champion, Michael Wallstreet, along with Miss Alexandria York and that wild women with the face paint from Wrestlecade II were with Lance Russell this week. Lance showed a VTR of the title match where Wallstreet defeated “Stunning” Steve Austin for the belt. On the VTR, we see Medusa coming after Ms. York who continues to try and help her man during the match. It looked like Medusa was really going to put the beat down on York but from out of nowhere came this menacing-looking women with face paint and a mohawk screaming her head off. She grabbed Medusa and awkwardly slammed Medusa on the cement floor. This distraction allowed Wallstreet to hit Austin over the head with the computer and get the dirty 3-count. Lance immediately wanted to know who this “lady” was with the York Foundation but Ms. York change the subject and talked about how great her computer skills where and how great their detailed scouting report was on Stunning Steve Austin. York claimed that they knew they were going to win the title. Lance wondered how the computer knew to cheat! Wallstreet steps in here and takes over the interview. MW: Lance… I resent the fact that you are calling me a cheater. I saw an opportunity and ran with it. I put up my own money up for this match. That’s right Lance. Remember… I had to pay $20,000 to that loser if I didn’t win the title. While I am a very wealthy man, I do not like to just give away my money. So, Ms. York and I poured over the computer reports and it kept saying that it wasn’t Steve Austin that was the problem as we all know that I am the better wrestler but rather, it was Medusa that was the problem. Ms. York is a brilliant business woman but she is by no means a professional wrestler. We both admit, Medusa could physically hurt Ms. York. Me, being the man that I am, could not allow a women I work so closely with to be hurt by a bully. So we had to come up with a plan or we knew Ms. York would be hurt and that loser would still have “my title.” So, we asked the computer for help and it kept spouting out the name “Bull Nakano.” We did a little research and found out that Bull Nakano was the most dangerous female wrestler on the plant today and me being a man of ample means… made a few phone calls … spent a few Yen… and Medusa was now taking care of! While all this was going on, Bull Nakano was in the background contorting her face and slamming her hands together like she was getting ready to destroy something. It was so scary that Lance actually asked Wallstreet to switch spots with his so he could get so distance from the wild lady. Lance asked one more time about the cheating that occurred when Wallstreet hit Austin with the computer but the York Foundation seemed content with the info they had given and walked off. Later in the show main event, Stunning Steve defeated Eddie Gilbert with the Stun Gun. Interesting thing here was that it was Medusa who body slammed Jimmy Hart who was trying to interfere in the match and it was this distraction that led to the Stun Gun. In the post-match interview, it was both Austin and Medusa who were fuming about the result from Wrestlecade. Austin let Wallstreet know that money can’t buy his safety and Medusa let everyone know that it was her and not Bull Nakano that was the best female wrestler in the world and that Nakano had to Peal Harbor her from behind just like Japan did in World War II! -Bill Apter was on the show today with Jerry Jarrett to do a very important job. Since Randy “Macho Man” Savage defeated The Bossman at Wrestlecade to win the USWA World Title, the USWA Southern Title became vacant. By USWA rules no wrestler can hold two titles at one time. Jerry Jarrett said that with the USWA Southern Title being such an important title in professional wrestling, he didn’t want that title to be vacant for very long. Jarrett goes on to say that he, along with the USWA Board of Directors is going to hold a one night, 8- man- single elimination tournament on December 17th at the Nashville Fairgrounds Arena. Jarrett goes on to explain that he wanted the tournament to include the best 8 wrestlers in the USWA and that is where Bill Apter comes in. Apter explains that his magazine, Pro Wrestling Illustrated is about to unveil a very complex rating system where they rank the top 500 wrestlers in the World! Apter explains that while this system is not going to be released until 1991, it is ready to go. Apter says that he took Jarrett’s request very seriously and just finished the updates to include all results from last night and here are the top 8 wrestlers currently under contract in the USWA who will compete in that one night tournament. #8 Tommy “Wildfire” Rich #7 “Hotstuff” Eddie GIlbert #6: Jeff Jarrett #5: Greg “The Hammer” Valentine #4: Jim “The Anvil Neidhart #3: “Stunning” Steve Austin #2: Scott Steiner #1: Bossman Apter goes on the announce that this list does not include Randy Savage, The Road Warriors, The Rock n Roll Express and Michael Wallstreet as they are all current champions. Apter also excluded Rick Steiner due to injury and Jerry “The King” Lawler due to his suspension. Later in the show, we see Terry Taylor win a bout against Pez Whatley and he is fuming about being left off the list! He claims there isn’t a person on the list who could beat him. That is when Scott Steiner comes out and tells Taylor that he is sick and tired of him running his mouth ever sense he came back to the USWA and that he will wrestle Taylor next week, right here on TV and if Taylor wins, Steiner will give up his place in the tournament. Taylor tells everyone in Nashville to get their tickets for December 17th as he is about to be the next USWA Southern Heavyweight Champion. -Randy “Macho Man” Savage made his first appearance as USWA World champion this week and as a result of the Bossman giving a total heel promo earlier in the show about how the no-skill Savage was lucky to win along with a VTR from the Midsouth Coliseum showing all the dirty tactics of Bossman has the fans really behind Savage. Oooohhhh yeah! Memphis seems all turned upside down as we head into 1991! Fan favorite Randy Savage is the USWA World Champion and Jerry “the King” Lawler is suspended for throwing a fire ball in the face of his cousin!

I completely understand your timing struggle. My schedule has me so far behind! Nice, quick results from Thanksgiving. I like Rude over Nikita. This seems to give you a few more choices. Sting and Luger continue their feud at Starrcade in a Steel Cage! This should be awesome. Really love the rest of the Starrcade card also. So many big matches!!

I am really liking this Pretty N Pink Stable. Great heels for this territory.

Really enjoyed Survivor Series. I wonder how Bad News is going to take the WWF giving him a team that couldn't get the job done! Love King Lawler attacking King Kevin... this should be fun! Great idea with the Golden Opportunity.

Fun half hour for the West Virginia fans. PIP stole the show but seemed a little afraid of Morton. We will see where this goes.

Really liked the show leading up to the clash. Great way to build the Sting-Muta fight with Muta beating 4 guys in 10 minutes! As for the Clash- I liked how Doom went over the Rockers. I wonder what is next. A rematch would be great but so would a cooling off period--- a lot of great options! Great write up of the Steamboat-Muta match with you dividing it up into time periods. This made an hour match easy to follow. Can't wait to see what is next with Luger and Race. This is going to be fun!

I really enjoy your format. You show that it is not necessarily the names but how they are used that make wrestling so cool. I could just see the 10 year old boys in West Virginia telling their parents that they had to stay up late to see Wild Dog!

Superclash!!! What a card. I an so interested in so many matches that I would be begging my college roommates to get on a plane and come see this one! If I had to pick my 5 must see matches... very hard to narrow down... but here we go! 5. Tie: Cactus Jack vs Hangman and Debeers vs Colon. Wild... violent... willing to do anything. 4. British Bombers vs Sawyer and Link... Sawyer and Link is one wild and crazy combo. Love it! 3. Hansen vs KKB... Enough said! 2. The Enforcers vs Slater and Garvin. There is going to be so hard chops and shots in this one! 1. Flair vs Hogan. Can Hogan get the revenge he has been seeking? Sometimes the chase is more fun then the run. Really looking forward to this!

II Thanksgiving Night, November 27, 1990 Match #1: 6-Man Tag Team Match “Wildfire” Tommy Rich, “Boogie Woogie” Man Jimmy Valiant & The Junkyard Dog defeated The Dirty White Boys & Jimmy Jack Funk when JYD nailed Jimmy Jack with a Big Thump in this nice curtain jerker that saw the babyfaces get some love from the fans. Match #2: Tag Team Match The Destruction Crew (Bloom & Enos) defeated The Southern Boys (Armstrong & Smothers) when Wayne Enos connected with a powerbomb on Armstrong. The Destruction Crew combined questionable tactics and power moves to continue their move up the tag team rankings. In fact, they grabbed the house mic on their way out and claimed that they were ready for a title shot. Match #3: Jeff Jarrett defeated Terry Taylor by DQ as he got caught nailing JJ with a chair shot to the head. JJ and Taylor had a great match before the wild ending as both showed they were able to do the technical stuff as well as mix it up. Taylor told us that he was coming back to Memphis to get revenge on both Jerry Jarrett and Jerry Lawler for their treatment of Taylor last time he was in the area. Well tonight, he started with Jarrett’s son and his revenge didn’t end after the first chair shot as he continued to clobber JJ. Finally, it was Wildfire Tommy Rich who rushed in to chase Taylor away. MATCH #4: USWA WORLD TELEVISION TITLE MATCH “Stunning” Steve Austin © with Medusa vs Michael Wallstreet with Ms. Alexandria York This rematch from the Halloween Spooktacular was only made possible because Michael Wallstreet agreed to pay Stunning Steve $20,000 if he doesn’t win the title. As the combatants are being introduced, we once again seeing a concerned Ms. York looking over the computer and the data for the title bout. The match starts just like the one from last month as Stunning Steve seems to always be one step ahead of Wallstreet. After about 4 minutes on top for the champ, Ms. York tripped up Austin which caused a momentum change as the challenger took control. Medusa, fuming, rushed over and warned York not to get involved again or else. York, obviously frightened, coward under the larger and tougher Medusa. Wallstreet was only able to keep control for so long as Austin just seemed better. Again, Ms. York climbs up on the apron and starts trying to distract both the ref and Austin. Here comes Medusa!! WHAM… from out of no where comes this large wild woman with paint on here face and a mohawk style hair-cut. She scoops up Medusa and slams here awkwardly onto the cement. This chaos distracted everyone in the ring …. Except for Wallstreet. It was like he knew this was coming. WHAM…. Wallstreet smashes the large computer over the head of Austin and he is busted open. Wallstreet now scoops up Austin …. Airplane Spin/Samoan Drop combo. 1…2…3! Michael Wallstreet is the NEW USWA World TV Champion! MATCH #5: MEMPHIS STREET FIGHT Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart vs Greg “The Hammer” Valentine with Jimmy Hart As any Street Fight Should be… Brawl, Brawl, Brawl… so lets just get to the finish. Both men are showing some color and signs of exhaustion. Neidhart whips Valentine into the ropes but somehow, the Hammer gets himself all tangled up. Neidhart looks like a man possessed and heads out of the ring and goes to the announcer’s table where he grabs the actual anvil that he came to the ring with. The ref and Jimmy Hart are frantically trying to untangle Valentine. Neidhart is closing in when he sees Jimmy Hart. Anvil flips Hart into the ring and now is going after the Mouth of the South! Jimmy Hart is scooting on his butt trying to get away but there is nowhere to go. Finally, the ref frees up the Hammer. Valentine picks up the megaphone that Hart had dropped on the apron when he was trying to help untangle Valentine. Anvil with the anvil after Hart…. Valentine with the megaphone after an unsuspecting Neidhart! WHAM… How did that happen…. Neidhart must have heard Valentine coming, turned at the last second and nailed Valentine with the handle of the anvil right in the side of the head. Valentine is down and out. Jimmy Hart has run for cover. Anvil with the cover. 1…2….3!!! MATCH #6: USWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH The Road Warriors © vs The Rock n Roll Express Two of the greatest teams in wrestling history face off but you couldn’t think of more contrast styles. Speed vs power to the extreme! This is the USWA World Tag Team Champions vs The USWA Southern Tag Team Champions but it is only the Road Warriors whose World Title is on the line. It is Hawk and Robert Gibson who start off and as soon as the lock up collar and elbow, Hawk launches Robert across the ring. With Robert sitting on the ground, you can just tell by the look on his face that he was overwhelmed by Hawk’s power. It is one thing to know about the power of the Road Warriors but it is another to feel it first-hand. Robert with a new plan… They lock up again and this time it’s Robert with a go behind to a hammer lock to an inside cradle for the pin. Count of 1 and Hawk launches Robert into the air. Hawk with a big scream and flex! We get about half the crowd with a pop. Hawk rushes at Robert and nails him with a big clothesline. Ricky rushes in and Hawk military press’s him and tosses him on top of Robert! Things slow down for a second as both teams tag out. It is Ricky vs Animal. Animal simply kicks Ricky in the gut and lifts him up by his head and throws him into the Warriors corner where Animal and Hawk go to work. Robert rushes over but Animal simply turns and nails him with a huge clothesline. Robert again flies to the matt. A bit if a funny spot is next as Robert once again rushes over to save Ricky but this time he sees Animal turn and Robert stops and walks towards his corner. He thinks he has saved himself from another major blow but it was Animal who followed him and nailed him with a big clothesline to the back of his head and Robert is down for about the 10th time already in the match. Ricky tries to escape but Animal catches him and whips him into the ropes. Morton comes off with a cross-body block only to be caught by Animal. Animal slams Morton into his knee; lifting him over and over again dropping him each time across his knee. Somehow both members of the Rock n Roll Express roll out of the ring and they come together to discuss a new plan as this one is not working. Ricky up on the apron as here comes Animal. It is Robert who trips up Animal and together Ricky and Robert who ram Animal’s leg into the ring post. The RnR Express now go to work on Animal. Double clothesline- Double Drop Kick-Double Leg Drop. It is know Animal playing the wrestler in peril as the Express have him in real trouble.Ricky and Robert with quick tags are flying all over Animal. They are hitting him with every move you could think off. Pin attempt after pin attempt… 2 count after 2 count. Animal tried on numerous occasions to escape only to have Ricky and Robert double team him back to their own corner. Finally, it was Ricky with a mistake as he whipped Animal into the corner and rushed in to quickly as Animal launched himself out with a nasty clothesline. With Ricky down, Animal tags in Hawk. Hawk is now cleaning house! He nails Ricky… Robert… Ricky… Robert. Animal is back up and scoops up Ricky. Hawk to the top rope! WHAM…. Dooms Day Device!!! 1…2….3! The Road Warriors survive. Wow… what a bout. The Rock n Roll Express almost had the Road Warriors. MATCH #7: GRUDGE MATCH “The King” Jerry Lawler & Brian Lawler vs Honky Tonk Man & “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart With this one being so personal, we get a great brawl from beginning to end. One thing that was interesting was that Jimmy Hart come out in a new outfit. That left many to speculate if Hart had crapped himself when Neidhart came after him with the Anvil! As for the match, it might have just been a little too much too soon for Brian Lawler as The First Family seemed to outsmart him a few times as he took a pretty good beating. The King tried on a few occasions to rush in and save The Prince but the ref thwarted him at every turn. Finally, the King had enough. He rushed in a tossed the ref to the side. Next, he tosses Hot Stuff out of the ring. He is now all over his cousin… HTM or should we say Wayne Ferris. Give Ferris some credit…. He was not backing down. There is some serious family issues here! WHOOOSH! Jerry Lawler has just thrown a Fireball into the face of HTM! HTM is writhing in pain. Jimmy Hart has a towel over his man’s face. The ref has called for the bell and the First Family has won by DQ! The King wants more of Ferris but officials have rushed out to stop The King. Has the King crossed the line or was this just a father protecting his son … or maybe… after decades of Jimmy Hart coming after Jerry Lawler, the King has taken the law into his own hands! MATCH #8: USWA WORLD TITLE MATCH The Big Bossman © vs “The Macho Man” Randy Savage with Miss. Elizabeth If you weren’t sure who the heel and the babyface were in this match just take a look at the entrances. Bossman coming out wearing his correctional officers uniform slamming the nightstick into his own hand with a sadistic grin on his face all the while berating the fans on his way to the ring. Macho Man comes out wearing a fluorescent green robe and tights with a green and gold cowboy hat and neon sunglasses. He is pointing at the fans like they were his long lost friend. Elizabeth, in a beautiful red dress and stepping back giving Randy all of the attention. The fans bought into this and if they didn’t know who they were rooting for before, are now all behind Macho Man. As for the match, the first thing you notice is the size advantage for Bossman. He is huge! The two walk to the center of the ring. WAAP…. Bossman slaps Savage. WAAP…. Savage slaps Bossman. The two slap each other about 5 times and then lock up and roll around the ropes all over the ring. Finally, the ref breaks them up in the corner but Bossman with a huge heel elbow on the break and Savage is down. Bossman gets the first shot at wrestling from the top. Bossman makes this more of a boxing match then anything else with huge right hands. Give Savage some credit as he took about 5 blows and then blocked the 6th one and fired away with a few of his own. Bossman wasn’t having any of this and followed up a rake of the eyes with a nasty headbutt and Savage was down again. Bossman now begins the big moves. He drops Savage over the bottom rope and runs across the ring and jumps on Savage’ back. Next, he slides out of the ring and nails Savage with another big right hand. Savage rolls all the way across the ring and out onto the floor as Bossman heads to the center of the ring and gloats about his dominance. Finally Bossman heads out to attack Savage but it was too long. Savage with the Ax Handle chop and he is back in control! Savage rams Bossman’s head into the steel barrier and then to the amazement of all, he scoops up Bossman and slams him on the concrete floor. Savage is about to run Bossman in the steel ring post but … WHAM… Bossman reversed it and it is Savage he goes face first into the post. Somehow, Savage made it in before the count of 10 but it is only to take more punishment. Kicks, chops, elbows, slams and splashes…. It is all Bossman. WHAM… Bossman with a belly to belly powerbomb and he knows its over. He simply lays across Savage 1…2…. Oh my God… Savage kicks out! Bossman drags up Savage into a nasty headlock but somehow Savage nails the back drop! Savage is still slow but he is starting to feel it as Bossman is down and trying to recover. It is a race to see who is up first. The fans are so disappointed as it is Bossman up first. He is really showing why he is the champion. WHAM… Another giant splash in the corner! UMMMPH …. Bossman locks in the Bear Hug. Savage is flailing in agony but there is no quit in the Macho Man. He kind of slithers up in the bear hug and now has a bit of a leverage advantage and starts throwing big right hands at Bossman. Bossman drops Savage and again, we see both men struggling to be first up. Again, it is the champ and he whips Savage into the corner but nobody home… Savage scampers to the top rope and comes off with a double axhandle smash to Bossman. Like lightening, Savage rushes across the ring and scampers up to the top. He is now almost ¾ of the ring away from Bossman. He stands tall… arms up in the air… leaps WHAM… Savage with the Top Rope Flying Elbow Drop!! 1…2…3! Randy “Macho Man” Savage is the new USWA World Heavyweight Champion. He grabs the belt and crumbles to his knees. He is in tears as Elizabeth is hugging him. The Bossman has not only lost the title but has played a major part in the Macho Man gaining the love and respect of the crowd.

USWA adds Tracy Smothers, Steve Armstrong, The Dirty White Boys, The O Godwin brothers, Bill Irwin, JYD, Eric Embry, Ron Fuller, and Dutch Mantel to the block

I really enjoyed the interview with the Citadel. It will be interesting where things go from here.

One of my favorites!!! John Denver was great.

Midsouth Coliseum Thanksgiving Night, November 27, 1990 6-Man Tag Team Match “Wildfire” Tommy Rich, Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant & The Junkyard Dog Vs The Dirty White Boys & Jimmy Jack Funk How we got here: No real backstory here. Just starting the show with some decent names to get the fans involved. Tag Team Match The Southern Boys (Armstrong & Smothers) vs The Destruction Crew (Bloom & Enos) How we got here: No real backstory here. The Destruction Crew recently debuted on tv. At first, fans were not sure what to make of Mike Enos and Wayne Bloom as they headed to the ring with hard hats and orange construction worker vests with no shirt underneath. Their long blond hair, toned bodies and fluorescent pink tights have the women interested …. But that doesn’t last long as they attack Sweet Brown Sugar and Pez Whatley before the bell and continue to throw forearms, elbows and kicks and throw in a few body slams and clotheslines. They bend every rule that was written from not breaking until the count of 4, using the ropes for leverage and rushing into the ring to distract the ref and allow the other to break more rules. SWB and Whatley are too good just to be dominated and make a comeback … that is until Mike Enos cracks SWB over the head with his hardhead while Bloom was distracting the ref. After the tainted win, the two were berated by Lance Russell but they could care less. Mike Enos: Lance… we don’t care what you have to say. In fact, we don’t care what anyone has to say. We were the best team in the AWA and now we will be the best team here in the USWA. We are exactly what our names says we are… The Destruction Crew. Wayne Bloom: It won’t be long Lance until we get what we came here for … gold! We don’t care who comes out on top between the Road Warriors and The Rock n Roll Express…. As we will destroy either one. Trust me… 1990 will end very, very badly for someone. Now, it is time to see how the Destruction Crew stacks up against one of the best tag teams in the USWA! Jeff Jarrett vs Terry Taylor How we got here: This week’s show starts with a good matchup between Terry Taylor and “White Lightening” Tim Horner. Lance Russell started the match by putting over Taylor’s wrestling ability and that the fans are really going to love having Taylor back in the territory. The match started with a handshake and then went into a pretty good series of chain wrestling as the two went back and forth. Finally we see Taylor back Horner on the corner. WHAM… Knee to the gut by Taylor. Lance Russell is shocked but that is nothing. Taylor continues with questionable tactics until he finally puts Horner away with the Five Arm. At the podium, Lance let’s Terry know that he was surprised by what he just saw in the ring. Terry Taylor: Get used to it Lance. Get used to it. I’m not the same Terry Taylor who was running around here a few years ago just trying to do what the establishment said. I did anything Jerry Lawler asked! I did anything Jerry Jarrett asked… and where did it get me? No where. I was used. I was the scapegoat that took all the punishment while Lawler ran and hid with his titles. Well things are going to be different. I’m here to get even for the wrongs that happened to me and I think I will start with Jerry Jarrett’s son…. Be ready young gun…. You’ll soon find out what Terry Taylor is all about. Later in the show, Jeff Jarrett had a nice win against The Masked invader and told Lance in the post-match interview that he was disappointed in what he saw and heard from Terry Taylor. He said that he was looking forward to working with Taylor but after today… he will look forward to working against Terry. Later in the night, we find out that Terry Taylor will face Jeff Jarrett at Wrestlecade II in the Midsouth Coliseum on Thanksgiving. USWA WORLD TELEVISION TITLE MATCH “Stunning” Steve Austin © with Medusa vs Michael Wallstreet with Ms. Alexandria York How we got here: Wallstreet and York have been bragging that between their money and technology, there isn’t anyone that can stop them. Well that proved to be untrue as Austin recently defeated Wallstreet at Halloween Spooktacular last month in the Midsouth Coliseum. Wallstreet claimed that this win was a fluke and only happened because Medusa attacked Ms. York and Wallstreet was distracted. While Wallstreet embellished the attack by Medusa who was really preventing York from interfering in the match, Stunning Steve was not against granting Wallstreet a rematch …. If the price was right! Austin demanded that Wallstreet give him $20,000 if Austin defeated Wallstreet at Wrestlecade. Wallstreet laughed … calling this pocket change and accepted the stipulations. All of these occurred while Ms. York seemed to be running the information through her computer. If looks mean anything…. Ms. York didn’t seem to like her man’s chances. MEMPHIS STREET FIGHT Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart vs Greg “The Hammer” Valentine with Jimmy Hart How we got here: These two former USWA Southern Tag Team champions recently split after Anvil attacked the leader of the First Family, Jimmy Hart who went after Anvil first as he was upset at the title loss to the Rock n Roll Express. Valentine sided with Hart and Anvil has vowed to not only take out Valentine but the entire First Family. This is just the next installment of this feud. If it is as violent as many expect, it could be the end of the road for someone! USWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH The Road Warriors © vs The Rock n Roll Express How we got here: The Road Warriors recently defeated The Steiner Brothers to win the title and Rick Steiner had injured his leg during the match. This injury forced the Steiner Brothers to forgo their rematch which then made the USWA Southern Tag Team Champs the #1 contenders for the World Title! If the Rock n Roll Express can handle the size and power of the Road Warriors is yet to be determined but nobody should count Ricky and Robert out of it. They have proved themselves to be one of the best tag teams this sport has ever seen and it anyone could defeat the Road Warriors, it is them! GRUDGE MATCH “The King” Jerry Lawler & Brian Lawler vs Honky Tonk Man & “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart How we got here: This started months ago as HTM warned Brian Christopher to leave Memphis Wrestling or else he would reveal some major secret. Christopher did leave or so we thought. A masked man, POW arrived around the time Christopher left. HTM smelled something fishy and went after POW. Week after week, POW was able to handle HTM… that is until Jimmy Hart smashed an Elvis Pressley signed guitar over POW’s head which allowed HTM to remove his mask … revealing Brian Christopher. The next week on tv, HTM and the entire First Family demanded that Christopher come to the podium which he did. As HTM was about to spill the beans on Christopher, Brian turned the tables on HTM. Christopher immediately revealed that he was “The Prince of Wresting” (POW) and let everyone know that Jerry Lawler was his father. He went on to tell everyone that Honky Tonk Man was actually his low-life cousin Wayne Ferris who was the black sheep of the family. HTM, fuming, attacked the young Lawler. This led to Daddy Lawler and the Anvil rushing out to make the save… and here we are… a family feud along with the hated Eddie Gilbert! USWA WORLD TITLE MATCH The Big Bossman © vs “The Macho Man” Randy Savage with Miss. Elizabeth How we got here: Savage, the USWA Southern Champion, has been after Bossman for a long time but Jerry Lawler kept getting in the way. After Savage defeated Lawler and Bossman last month in the big Texas Tornado Three-Way Country Whipping Match, he clearly became the #1 contender for the USWA title. These two have been beating on each other since late summer and this might just be Macho Man’s night!
