AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING JULY 13, 1984 Music intro with a montage of all the stars of Stampede Wrestling past and present is shown. Ed Whalen: I am Ed Whalen and welcome to another edition of Stampede All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the Corral in Calgary. Before we get to all the action here tonight, we must first take you to the last few minutes of a video given to us courtesy of Georgia and Great Lakes Wrestling from this past week. AWA World Heavyweight Championship Ted Dibiase defeats Hulk Hogan for the World title! Ed Whalen: That’s right folks, Hulk Hogan lost the AWA World Heavyweight title this week to Ted Dibiase. This has been a tough couple week for the fan favorites here in Stampede Wrestling. Hulk Hogan lost the title to Dibiase. A distraught Hogan said he has let the fans down and that he needs some time to regroup. He said he will someday return to Stampede but we do not know when. On the other hand, Randy Savage, who took a brutal beating at the hands of Ken Patera and Crusher Blackwell, has suffered a serious neck injury and will be out of action for months! Stu Hart comes out and is a bit depressed by Hogan’s loss but he announces that their will be a 20 Man Battle Royal this Monday in Edmonton and the winner will get a World title shot on August 4th in the Corral. The crowd begins to boo as Bobby Heenan leads his Family (Ric Flair, Curt Hennig) to the podium. Bobby Heenan: Oh come on now Whalen… stop lying to these fans. You know Hogan ran from Stampede Wrestling the day he heard Nature Boy Ric Flair was coming. Ric Flair: Wooooo! You got that right Bobby. Hogan knows that I am the best and to be the best, you got to beat the best. The problem is he CAN’T BEAT ME! So instead of letting all the Hulk-A-Maniacs down, he decides to run away! Smart move big boy. Now Ric Flair is not used to not having a title around his waist. What do you say Bret Hart? How about we get it on this Monday in the Sales Pavillion. Bobby Heenan: Ric, you know he doesn’t have the guts to face you. Next … Ed Whalen, you said Randy Savage is out of action for a few months. Wrong! His career is over. I paid Blackwell and Patera to break his neck and that is just what they did. They snapped it like a twig! Now on to the traitor… Bret Hart. Just a bit of advice Bret… Run… Run far away… Follow Hulk Hogan to where ever that chump ran to. Flair is coming for you and it is just a matter of time until he gets the North American title! Ed Whalen: One thing I know for sure, and I have been around Stampede Wrestling for a long time, Bret Hart does not run away from people like you! Curt Hennig: Everyone runs from people like us. We got the talent, the power and the money to do what we want. I warn the fans of Stampede to hide the women and children as we are coming to take over! Ed Whalen: Well I bet Rick Martel will have something to say about that as he beat you in the Saddledome! Curt Hennig: My ex-partner got lucky but he won’t get lucky this week in Edmonton. Ed Whalen: Well Bobby Heenan, it seems that your family is missing someone. Where is Bad News Allen? Bobby Heenan: In fact, my contract with Bad News Allen was only a 30 day contract to help him prepare for his World title match against Hulk Hogan. Ed Whalen: And I guess you failed at that! Bobby Heenan: Watch it birdbrain. And don’t worry about my family. We are in Wonderful shape! (Commercials) Promos for shows in Edmonton, Saskatoon, Red Deer, Brandon, Lloydminster, Swift Current) MATCH: Dr. Death Steve Williams & Manny Fernandez defeat the Lumberjacks At the interview desk, Dr. Death and Manny remind everyone that they were inches from the World Tag Title and that the Road Warriors didn’t beat them. Ed Whalin agrees and let’s everyone in the Edmonton area know that this Monday. Dr. Death and the Road Warriors are going to face off. MATCH: Bob Sweetan defeats Ricky Gibson with the Piledriver This battle between Sweetan and Gibson has been going on for a while and it seems to have boiled over here as Sweetan gives Gibson another piledriver. As Ed Whalin is screaming that the piledriver should be outlawed, Sweetan lifts him up for a third piledriver. WHAM! Ray Stevens hits the ring and connects with a big right hand to the skull of Sweetan and he goes down like a sack of potatoes. Stevens quickly lifts Sweetan up! WHAM… Piledriver on Sweetan! (Commercials) Promos for show in Edmonton, Saskatoon, Red Deer, Brandon, Lloydminster, Swift Current Bad News Allen is at the interview desk and he is not too pleased that he is not the World Champion. While he doesn’t blame Bobby Heenan, he does say that he is willing to do whatever it takes to get another World Title shot. If that means beating Bret Hart … he is ready. If that means beating Ric Flair… he is ready for that to. As the interview ends, Whalen says that Bad News means business and that might be bad news for all of Stampede. MATCH: Gama Singh with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie defeats Brian Wildey with the Camel Clutch Singh refuses to break the hold and continues to amp up the pressure on the Camel Clutch. Poor Brian Wildey is screaming in pain as the Sheik is egging on his man. Even when the ref threatens to reverse the decision it does nothing to stop Gama. Ed Whalen is screaming about this is why Gama Singh was the most hated wrestler when he was in Stampede Wrestling the last time and it seems like he has picked up where he left off last time. The crowd pops as Jim Neidhart rushes the ring and Gama exits stage left. Neidhart is fuming about Sheiks’ new stable and he focuses his anger towards Sheik Sgt. Slaughter. We find out that it will be Neidhart and the two newest members of the Commonwealth Connection against Skeik Adnan’s men (Slaughter, Pogo and Gamma) Sheik Adnan and Slaughter rush out to the interview desk and it seems like it is going to erupt right now. Sheik and Slaughter are demanding to know who they will be facing but Neidhart just smiles at Slaughter. Slaughter comes back with a few maggot comments and this is getting hot! As Anvil turns to go, Slaughter hits him with a Cannon Shot to the back of the head. With Anvil laying face down on the floor, Slaughter grabs the microphone… “No maggot Canadian will ever turn their back on me.” Match: Rick McCord defeats Pat Tunny with the Lou Thesz Press Ed Whalin introduces McCord to the Stampede crowd and his energy and charisma does a nice job of getting him over here in his Canadian debut. McCord comes out to the ring in a shinny cut-off jacket and bow tie and is dancing his way to the ring. Once the match started, McCord was high energy and technically sound. (Commercials) Promos for shows in Edmonton, Saskatoon, Red Deer, Brandon, Lloydminster, Swift Current) Bret Hart is at the interview desk where he is serious about defending his North American title and it doesn’t matter who he faces and that he is not the least bit afraid of Ric Flair. Ed Whalen reminds him a Flair’s challenge for this week in Edmonton. Bret Hart excepts the challenge but Stu Hart comes out and says that he has no problem with Bret beating Ric Flair on Monday but, according to the by-laws of Stampede Wrestling, it can’t be for the North American title as Ric Flair must first move up the ladder to be the #1 contender. Match: Nikita Koloff vs Rick McGraw While McGraw has a lot of power, he is no match for Nikita. The Russian Nightmare completely dominated McGraw with the end coming from the Sickle! Nikita and Nicolai come over to the interview desk where they are full of insults for the Canadian people. Nikita also basically guarantees he will win the Battle Royal in Edmonton and then take the World title from Dibiase on August 4th. Ed Whalen: What a great night of wrestling it has been and remember if you are anywhere near Edmonton and the Sales Pavilion this week, get a ticket as it we be a wild night. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling.

Miss. Linda missing would send the Exotic One into a tizzy every time! The fun continues throughout CCW

Very creative event in St. Pauls. Way to send the fans home happy with the Sheik and Koloff going down!

Thanks for the comment. Cowboy Bob Tallman is a hall of fame rodeo announcer and the Lawman Don Slatton was the promoter in Abilene in Dory Funk's promotion. They are a stretch as an announce team but not completely made up. It was something I thought could work in the West and I did not know of many other announcers left.

July 13, 1984 A montage of wrestling and rodeo falls set to music introduces the show. From peak to peak and valley to valley we welcome you Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling. I am Cowboy Bob Tallman and we are coming to you tonight from the Events Center in Casper, Wyoming. With me tonight as always is the President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling, the Lawman, Don Slatton. Well Don, tonight is an historic show here for us. Don Slatton: That’s right Cowboy… Rocky Mountain Wrestling is now a member of the All-Star wrestling promotion and has been invited to be an equal member in the AWA! Cowboy Bob: Yee doggie… that is some major happenings here in Rocky Mountain Pro. What does all of this really mean for our growing fan base? Lawman Don: To tell you the truth, things are only going to get better for our fans as a member of the AWA and All-Star Wrestling! First, the stars you have come to love and hate here in Rocky Mountain Pro will still be here every week. From Wahoo McDaniel to Blackjack Mulligan to Ron Bass, each show will be action packed. Cowboy Bob: Well that is great as these stars have been packing the houses all throughout the mountain region. I mean just look at this crowd in Casper tonight! Lawman Don: It is truly awesome, but it is going to get even better and better as we are going to be seeing a lot of the great talent to the north coming down to the states from time to time. Such stars as the British Bulldogs will be here, the Candian Strongman, Jos Leduc and let’s not forget, that our fans will see our stars battling it out for the AWA North American title which is currently held by Bret Hart. Cowboy Bob: Speaking of titles and the AWA… we must take you to a video from the Omni in Georgia where it was Hulk Hogan vs Ted Dibiase for the AWA World Title. MATCH: AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH TED DIBIASE DEFEATS HULK HOGAN TO BECOME THE NEW WORLD CHAMP Cowboy Bob: That’s right folks, Ted Dibiase is your new world champion and he will be with us right after this break. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Frontier Days Arena in Cheyenne, Wyoming. As we come out of break, Cowboy Bob and Lawman Don welcome Ted Dibiase to the set and congratulate him on winning the AWA World Title Ted Dibiase: Well thanks… I guess. I mean I win the title and the first thing they do is send me to Wyoming? I mean come on, I am the champion. Instead of getting to party with beautiful women, I get to look at cows and I don’t mean the animals that are roaming the streets here in Casper. Lawman Don: Come on now Mr. Dibiase. We are grateful for you to join us on our first show in the AWA but you do not need to insult our fans. Ted Dibiase: Okay, I will try to ignore the smell coming from the audience and I will focus on the talented wrestlers here in Rocky Mountain Wrestling. Wait a minute, I should have said the lack of talent. I know the AWA has scheduled me to wrestle Monday night in Cheyenne but I hope after I win in like 3 minutes, they won’t make me come back here again. Cowboy Bob: I wouldn’t look past the talent here in Rocky Mountain Wrestling. In fact, later tonight, we will have a match between two our superstars and the winner will face you on Monday. Ted Dibiase: Superstars… oh I bet that means it will be Cow Collector Cal and Milk Man Mike! Lawman Don: Okay, Mr. Dibiase, please be respectful. The match tonight is between Rocky Mountain Champion Wahoo McDaniel and Ox Baker. Upon hearing these names, Dibiase wipes the smirk off his face and walks away knowing he is in for a fight. Cowboy Bob: Well Lawman, I think that finally got Dibase’s attention. Let’s get to the ring for our first match. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Frontier Days Arena in Cheyenne, Wyoming MATCH: Mike Von Erich vs Cal Gordon Before our next match, Blackjack Mulligan stops by the interview desk with Mike VonErich. Blackjack explains that he is taking young Mike VonErich under his wing and will help him out anyway that he can. He reminds everyone how difficult a year it has been for Mike and the entire VonErich family with the death of David. He goes on to explain that he has been a long time friend to all the VonErichs and that he told Fritz he wouldn’t let anything happen to Mike. Mike goes on in the very gracious VonErich way to thank everyone for their support. We get a rather technical match for about 4 minutes but after Gordon rakes the eyes of Mike, we see that VonErich temper. The end comes with the Iron Claw as Blackjack is giving him advice on how to really cinch it in! Cowboy Bob: A nice debut win for Mike VonErich and who better to teach the Iron Claw than Blackjack After the match, Sonny King leads out the Rocky Mountain Tag Team Champions, Outlaw Ron Bass and Eric Embry. All three are good on the mic and the basic summation is that Sonny King has only been here a few weeks, but he has already lead Bass and Embry to the titles. Bass has his bullwhip with him and is cracking it around as tobacco is spewing from his mouth as he changes the subject to the match we just say with Mike VonErich. Ron Bass: Gawd Dangit…. The last thing we need in this sport is another VonErich. I mean that’s the reason I left Texas. I just got tired of all their whining and the biggest baby of them all…. Little Mickey shows up here. I know our first focus is these tag titles but if I happen to see Mickey… not sure what I will do. Mulligan you got your hands full by taking that kid under your wings. He aint got a lick of skill or a lick of heart. He is a yella as his ol man. Eric Embry: 1984 has been a great year in the sport of wrestling. We are already down two VonErichs and if my partner gets hold of Mickey… it will be three. Lawman Don Slatton: Why you little punk… get out of here and if I hear talk like that again, you will have to answer to me. With a smirk and a last spit of tobacco, Sonny King’s men ahead off. MATCH: The Super Samoans (Sakalia & Super Fly Tui) vs Larry Cheatem & The Hangman These Samoans are typical Samoans in that they are tough as nails but they are also fun loving and come out dancing and the fans adore them. The match starts slow with some headlocks and shoulder bumps but when the Hangman uses some questionable tactics, the Samoans answer by going wild. Sakalia, the bigger of the Samoans connect with three big headbutts before following it up with a powerslam. Sakalia tags in Tui who climbs Sakalia’s shoulders and leaps of like someone called Super Fly would! WHAM…. It is all over and the crowd goes wild. A dancing Sakalia and Tui head over to the interview desk where the promise to take the fight to any and all tag teams in Rocky Mountain Wrestling. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Frontier Days Arena in Cheyenne, Wyoming MATCH: Hillbilly Jim defeats Butch Amos with the Bearhug! Hillbilly Jim is all smiles at the interview desk but the Lawman warns him that he better be on his toes this Monday in Cheyenne as he will face Canadian Strongman, Jos Leduc in a Win By Bearhug Match. WHAM… Leduc attacks from behind. With the surprise attack, he has the early advantage and scoops up Hillbilly Jim and bodyslams him on the concrete. From here he goes to work on the back and finishes him off by putting him in the bearhug and then ramming his back into the steel ring post. Hillbilly Jim is down and Leduc is fuming at the interview desk where he vows to hurt Hillbilly Jim if he shows up on Monday night. Lawman Don: Well Leduc… if you are the man you say you are, maybe you will attack from the front next time. Leduc turns on Slatton but Slatton doesn’t back down. One thing about Slatton, he is 6’5 and one tough hombre. He doesn’t mind mixing it up as Cowboy Bob reminds the audience that Slatton was the King of the Texas Death Match and if Leduc wants a real fight, the Lawman will give it to him. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Frontier Days Arena in Cheyenne, Wyoming MATCH: Ciclon Negro defeats Bucky Brewster with a Brain Buster While Negro did a nice job of playing the heel, it was his attack on Jay Strongbow that really got the fans angry. For some reason, Strongbow came out a little early and he crossed paths with Negro. When Strongbow refused to get out of the way. Negro stepped aside but when Strongbow went by, he got clobbered. Negro finished this mess with a Brainbuster on Strongbow. Match: Rick McGraw (subbing for Strongbow) vs Evan Greary With little time to prepare for this, McGraw didn’t want to waste any time against Greary and the win came in under 3 minutes with the Diving Bodypress. Cowboy gets word from the back that Strongbow has been checked out by the doctors and it going to be fine. Strongbow is so mad, he has demanded and been granted a Stretcher Match against Ciclon Negro for Monday at the Frontier Days Arena COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Frontier Days Arena in Cheyenne, Wyoming Match: Sweet Brown Sugar defeats Brian Von Ripper with a Missile Dropkick In the post-match interview, we find out how excited newcomer, Sweet Brown Sugar is to be here in Rocky Mountain wrestling. Ox Baker, who was on his way to the ring does a bit of a double take as his sees Sugar and it is obvious that these two have some history. MAIN EVENT: ROCKY MOUNTAIN TITLE MATCH WINNER GETS A WORLD TITLE SHOT IN 2 DAYS Wahoo McDaniel vs Ox Baker The tomahawk chop vs the Heart Punch! These are two tough dudes and if either one gets going on Monday night, they could easily become the next world champion. Ted Dibiase comes back out on set and explains to Tallman and Slatton that a good champion always scouts his opponent even if they are inferior. As for the match, it is more a street fight then anything else. Baker seems to have the advantage and goes for the Heart Punch. The fans breathed a sigh of relief as Wahoo ducked under and he came off the roped like a house afire. Chop after chop has Baker staggering and a couple of big bodyslams gives him the win. Just as the ref makes the three count, Dibiase hits the ring and it looks like he is going to try and keep Wahoo from making it to the Frontier Days Arena. WHAM! Wahoo was ready for the champ and chopped him so many times that Dibiase staggered backwards and right through the ropes. Wahoo dared him get back in the ring but Dibiase decided to head for the hills as Tallman hyped up the big card for Monday night in Cheyenne. Cowboy Bob Tallman: Well folks, tonight’s wild rodeo has come to a close. See you next time on AWA Rocky Mountain All-Star Wrestling. So long from Casper!

No need to apologize. You guys have done an amazing job in such a short period of time. What a card! I hope you two continue to do some work together as this was awesome! Can't pick my favorite match... Love the Reed-Sawyer match with Iceman as the ref. Rich vs Harley delivered as expected. Hope Wildfire gets rematch. The title match was great! Dibiase will be an awesome champ as he can do it all! Brody-Hansen was perfect. Those two could fight every night and the fans would keep coming. The Fantastics get the win over the much bigger team but they got some real heart. Hope they continue to roll as they always make the fans happy. Again, AWESOME SHOW AND THANKS FOR JUMPING ON BOARD!

All-Star has Baby Doll, Ray Stevens on the market

I must say you are getting a lot out of your mid-card angles which makes for a very balanced show from top to botton. I love using Link with the Elizabeth angle. Bill White is getting pretty arrogant these days. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone bring him back down to earth soon. The Church of Boogie Woogie is AWESOME! Congrats to Rev. Cash. All of this and Gino is still the straw that stirs the drink. If Dusty can ever get rid of the House of Humperdink, Dream vs Gino could sell out arenas for months

That promo was spectacular! Rockald Johnson! Acceptable Korchenko and questioning T.A.'a name! Perfect. I do think you could get more out of Kamala. I thought he would squash Armand. Same with the Samoans losing to two jobbers. Albano must be fuming! Maybe he is in search of a new stable!

Must say that the format was really easy to read. Great first show. You have a lot of talent to write interviews and they were all spot on. I love how they all disrespected the new announcer. Really would have made Gordon Solie feel good. The Omni card is going to be awesome!

I had just did a quick search of who debuted in 1985 and Teddy Long's name game up. I can take him off and add the other names you guys found. Thanks.

Schultz makes everything more fun as nobody knows what is next. Love Landell here and he is going to cause havoc. Good luck Mr. Olympia and the rest of CCW. The heels in Alabama might just rule everything

I know Edger said it, but I could watch Bock and Kevin VE everyday!

Summer Blast is going to be a wild ride. Could Ratymus have met his match. Tio and Tapu were ready to help out as was Cocoa. I like Atlas at the interview desk here with his line about the gym equipment not hitting back! Anything could happen when they meet. All is right in the world of Memphis Wrestling when you have no idea what is going to happen next. With Lawler, Dundee, Dream, Hart, Fergie, Wells, HTM, and the the Kansas Jayhawks ... you have reached that point and it is very fun to read. I loved Steve O getting another mask. We have seen the old switch-a-roo before but it is usually between 2 people with masks. This time we add a mask! Very creative. Looking forward to Tito vs Funk as I have no idea what is going to happen! Great card this week!

Dothan is one great wrestling town. The 747 Splash might be the best move in the game! Landell and Hercules in the same place means bad news for the Babyfaces Mr. Olympia takes a big one but can he get the real prize! Schultz ruined my night. Was really looking forward to Bam Bam and the Bullet. This just adds another angle that I can't wait to see next week. I just love the twist and turns of CCW

Nice job here to kick things off. I like how you picked up right where Georgia left off. Nice use of the tag champs here! If Yoko and Haystacks go at it, somebody better reinforce that ring! Have fun and if you need anything, please feel free to ask

Love the hard work you are doing! This roster brings back so many memories as I grew up in Georgia Wrestling and I am so looking forward to where you take it. Rich vs Race... the Great Lakes Title on the line and a stepping stone to a World Title bout. We will see who jumps out on top here in a new promotion! Sawyer is great as he can do it all. Nice tag division with so many options. Enjoy and again, welcome to the game

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING JULY 6 1984 With so many questions left unanswered after the special event on Canada Day from the Saddledome, this show will be spent answering them. The relationship between Verne Gagne and Stu Hart: While the TV audience thinks these two are at odds as the High Flyers have caused havoc in the Calgary area of late, these two have become great friends. Verne saved Stu Hart, the patriarch of Stampede Wrestling who was on the verge of being out of the wrestling business due to his legal issues in Calgary as he was suspended from running any events in this city for 6 months due to the riot last December. The riot occurred when Bad News Allen announced to the crowd that he hoped Stomper Jr. died! Are there changes coming to the All-Star Promotion While the AWA brand has been thriving, there is an upstart promotion, Rocky Mountain Pro, that has been gaining some momentum in the west. Blackjack Mulligan and Don Slatton, the former promoter out of Abilene, are its main investors and while it started slow, it has been picking up more and more TV markets each week. First and foremost, Verne wants the AWA to be the most powerful wrestling organization in the world and doesn’t want anything to get in his way. Verne, Stu and Blackjack had a sit down where Verne offered Blackjack an offer he couldn’t resist. The deal essentially will unite Stu and Blackjack in All-Star Wrestling. Stu will work the Calgary region and control Stampede All-Star Wrestling and Mulligan and Slatton will run Rocky Mountain All-Star Wrestling. Verne, who is giving up control of Denver in this deal, explained that it will make travel easier on his stars and allow fans in St. Paul and other major cities in the Great Lakes region to see all their favorites on a more consistent basis. Buddy Landell: The Nature Boy had promised for the past 30 days that if he did not win a title within a month, he would leave All-Star Wrestling. In the Saddledome, he lost the finals of the Stampede Heavyweight Championship to Jim “the Anvil” Neidhart. Surprisingly to some, Landell proved to be a man of his word and has left the area. What was with the Sheiks (Blackwell & Patera) coming out twice to help Bobby Heenan after losing their shot at the AWA World Tag titles and being forced to leave All-Star Wrestling? We must go back awhile and remember that Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie bought Patera and Blackwell from Bobby Heenan and made him a very rich man. In fact, it was that deal that allowed Heenan to purchase the contracts of Bret Hart, Bad News Allen, Curt Hennig and Rick Rude. Heenan, when he made the exchange with Sheik Adnan, told Blackwell and Patera that he would love to help them out somewhere down the road as they all parted ways as friends. Once the Sheiks lost the loser-leave town tag match earlier in the evening, Heenan went to them and made them a very lucrative offer of $10,000 to help his stable out as he knew that both Stu Hart and Verne Gagne could do nothing to them as they were not employed by them any longer. Blackwell and Patera gladly accepted and this is the reason they rushed out to and attacked Randy Savage preventing him from winning the AWA North American title. They also tried later in the AWA World title match later in the evening but more on that later. Sgt. Slaughter turns on Jim Neidhart? Once it became known that these two tag team partners where pitted against each other in the Semi-Finals of the Stampede Heavyweight Championship tournament, it seemed obvious that one of them was likely to turn on the other. The wrestling style of both of these men is that of a brawler and whoever lost would most likely hold a grudge so once Slaughterwent down, many in the audience warned the Anvil not to shake Sarges hand. What was not expected was how much heat could come from this angle in just a short time! What is Sheik Adnan Al Kassie to do as Blackwell and Patera are out of All-Star Wrestling? Well Sheiks Anti-American nonsense changed to Anti-Canadian nonsense as he turned up in Calgary at the Corral and Stampede Wrestling. He quickly drew the ire of the ground as he introduced his new stable…. First out comes the Japanese Assassin, Mr. Pogo. With his face painted and his nun-chuck routine, he is one frightening guy who the Sheik promises will bring havoc to Stampede. As Sheik Adnan then calls out the next member of the stable and one of the most hated wrestlers of all time in Calgary comes out…. Gama Singh! The crowd is fuming now as Sheik promises to take out the entire Hart family. What happens next, will truly be etched in the memories of the audience for ever…. The third member of my new stable is….. Sheik Sgt. Slaughter! Slaughter comes out and is spitting mad and calling everyone from the fans to Canada to Jim Neidhart a bunch of no good maggots! Ed Whalin knows this group is going to be causing some serious problems! HOT STUFF INC? Last we saw, Baby Doll had walked out of the Saddledome as she was frustrated by the lack of comradery between Rick Rude and Eddie Gilbert. Rude and Gilbert were shoving each other during Gilbert’s finals match of the Young Lions Tournament against the Russian Nightmare. As Baby Doll walked out, Gilbert was crushed with the Russian Sickle and lost the match. Baby Doll had a post-match interview where she announces that she is in search of a real man as Rick Rude and Eddie Gilbert proved to be mothing more than little boys. She says she is going to be selling their old their contracts to other territories in the AWA. When asked what her plans were going forward she had the quickest answer… Baby Doll: I am the Perfect 10 and I always have a Wonderful Plan… and you will see it in just a few weeks. BRET HART’S ACTIONS We start with a quick video of the end of the main event from the Canada Day Spectacular where we see Ken Patera and Crusher Blackwell try to help Bad News Allen take the AWA title from Hulk Hogan until Bret Hart made the save and kept the Sheiks from getting to the ring. When asked why he made the save, Bret Hart explained that he had no idea that Heenan had the Sheiks help him defeat Randy Savage and retain the AWA North American title. When he went back and saw Patera and Blackwell playing with the money that Heenan had just paid them for there interference, Hart was fuming. He explained that it was like Heenan had no confidence that he could beat Savage on his own and that just mad him angry. He said he quickly understood why people said Heenan was such a bad guy and when he saw Heenan try to the do the same move in the World title match, he could not just sit back and do nothing. Bret goes on to say that he is sorry for turning his back on the fans and hopes they can forgive him. He also promises to make sure he is a try fighting champion and that both Stampede at Mid-American fans will see plenty of the AWA North American title. BOBBY HEENAN’S RESPONSE TO BRET HART Bobby Heenan: Brett Hart… You ungrateful little punk. I took you out of the frozen tundra and made you the AWA North American Champion. Do you think you would stand a chance of beating Randy Savage without my help… Not an Ice Cube’s Chance in Satan’s home town. I saved you… I saved your title and how to you repay me? You ruin the Family’s chance and Bad News Allen’s chance at winning the AWA World Title! Well I hope you are happy with yourself. Now does Bret Hart think he can hurt the family… maybe put us out pf business? Well if he thinks that, he really is a dumb as he looks. It took one phone call and the Heenan Family has regrouped. In fact, better then regrouped. We went from great to unstoppable. With my newest member of my organization, WE WILL TAKE THAT NORTH AMERICAN TITLE FROM BRET HART AND PUT HIM OUT OF WRESTLING FOR GOOD! Gene Okerlund: Your new family? Bobby Heenan: Ohhhh, did I forget to introduce you to the newest member of my stable…. Well let’s bring out the next AWA North American Champion and soon to be the next AWA World Champion… Gene Okerlund: Oh my…. It’s the Nature Boy WHOOOOOOOOO!

Nice transition to your new angles here. I knew JYD was in trouble as I heard No DQ! Studd watching Bock's back is going to make it tough of taking the title off of him. The name change here to Brutus Beekcake works well as you set it up nicely! I could just see the young teenager so excited for his match with Garvin and Beekcake that he runs to the back and quickly accepts the first partner he sees... WHAM... the Double Cross! A great show without a VonErich in it shows that this isn't Frtitz's World Class anymore! You have it a such a place that it works with them or without them

Welcome to the game! The fans of Ohio got a treat here as Rich and Sawyer battled it out for the title.

Wow... what a first show for CCC! Your interviews in this show were awesome...The arrival of Budy Landell was classic. Buddy and RPG are perfect together. The Freebirds being the Freebirds was great and Adrian Street was awesome. I like that the Soul Patrol are back together and this is going to be one hot angle in Alabama as they face Robley and the Bass Brothers The Freebirds are ready for action and they don't care if they blast a heel or a babyface. The Japanese team is in for a big fight while the Bullet better be careful against Gordy/ With that wild ending to the show, I wonder if Armstrong is going to be a friend to Street down the road or if they are going to go at it. The Exotic one wanted to help but when Armstrong didn't accept it, it leaves you with so many options!

With open spots, All-Star picks up Rick Link, Rick McGraw and Ted Oates

Such a well balanced card here in Biloxi. I really enjoy how your heels always act the part! I agree with the idea that Buckley with the Bass brothers is a natural fit. Your creativity never ceases to amaze... all of the stipulations keep the fans interested every match. From the match to be the special ref, to the loser leave Southeaster for a year to the Coal Miner's Glove match, I love it all. I love Mr. Olympia as the champ... he was so underrated outside of the South The bounty match was awesome as everyone there would really buy that OMG could really put someone out of business What a night for the Freebirds!
