The Coral: Calgary: February 28, 1984 Keiji Mutoh defeats Tony Torres with moonsault as he wows the crowd in his first house show. Mongolian Stomper vs Verlon Biggs ends in total chaos as Bad News Allen returned to Calgary for the first time since the riot. This time Allen came as a spectator but he was surrounded by security. Stomper gained the victory over Biggs with the Sleeper but then he noticed Allen and went on the attack. It turned out that the security guards were Allen’s own and they beat Stomper down before taking him out in handcuffs. This almost caused another riot in Calgary. Eddie Gilbert with Precious defeats Mr. Wrestling II as Precious hit II with the loaded purse. Jimmy Garvin came out and gave a few shots to Wrestling II when all of a sudden Mutoh came out and nailed both members of Hot Stuff Inc. with Super Kicks! Dick Murdoch vs Wahoo McDaniel ended in a Double Count Out Greg Gagne & Brad Rheingans vs Jos Leduc and a mystery partner: The mystery partner turned out to be none other than Davey Boy Smith as it seems the Commonwealth Connection has replaced Jonathan Boyd. As for the match, it looked like the fan favorites were going to pull this one out as Rheingans connected with a Suplex on Leduc. Somehow Smith made the save but this is when the ref began to loose control as all 4 men where battling it out. The crowd began to cheer as the Dynamite Kid came rushing down to the ring but to their shock, he clocked Gagne with a chair and the Commonwealth Connection celebrated a victory. The fans couldn’t believe it as both Davey Boy and Dynamite turned on them in the same match. Rick Martel & Curt Hennig vs The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering: A complete and total war that nearly 25 minutes that finally saw the Road Warriors get the win with the Doomsday Device on Martel. You could see the disappointment and frustration on Hennig and Martel as the know they had the AWA tag titles in their sights before Curt was injured and now they can’t even get a title shot against the Sheiks. AWA LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Dynamite Kid vs Keith Hart: Hart was going to be the fan favorite here in Calgary but there is no doubt know after Dynamite’s earlier actions. Hart is doing great until we see Leduc and Davey Boy Smith come down to ringside. Kid goes absolutely wild with kicks and punches and then finishes off Hart with a Diving Headbut. The victory was not enough as the new Commonwealth Connection takes a few more shots at Keith Hart before tossing him to the floor. NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Rick Rude vs King Konga vs Bret Hart: While the night has not been going really well for the fan favorites, this one can change all of that but the odds are stacked against Bret in this one. Rude and Konga quickly realize that as long as they don’t tag in Bret, one of them will become the new North American Title. Rude and Konga are really throwing everything at the kitchen sink after each other but neither can claim the victory. Bret is looking nervous on the outside as he can’t seem to get into the action. Rude whips Konga into the ropes and as he comes off the Double Clothesline each other and both are down. Hart rushes into the ring and drags Konga over to his corner. Hart exits the ring and legally tags himself into the ring and dumps out onto the floor and then puts Rude into the Northern Lights Cloverleaf. Rude is basically out on his feet and after the ref drops the arm for the third time, Hart is declared the winner! All is well that ends well!

Great show and just as it should be in the Pacific Northwest as all are chasing the Playboy! Nice match between Star and Yamada as the rookie is quickly making a name for himself. Also, your tag division is fun with a lot of quality teams with contrasting styles. Should be very interesting!

All Star is sending Roger Smith, Don Bass and Porkchop Cash to Southeastern and will add Ali Bey, Ciclon Negro and Bart Batten to fill the roster spots

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING: February 24, 1984: WGN TV: Sales Pavilion, Edmonton From coast to coast, continent to continent and border to border, we welcome you to AWA All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton. I am Rod Trongard and joining me will be Gene Okerlund. STORYLINE #1: AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE We get video tape highlights from the Denver Auditorium of the Lights Out Non-title match between Randy Savage and Bret Hart that ended in a time limit draw and then we head to the ring for Randy Savage’s first TV match here in All-Star. Match: Randy Savage destroys Buck Zumhofe with the end coming with Top Rope Elbow Drop Randy Savage: Oh yeah! If this is how Verne Gagne want’s it… that is fine with me. I will leave bodies all over All-Star Wrestling until he declares me the #1 contender for the North American title. I already proved that Bret Hart can’t beat me in Denver. The longer Verne makes me wait, the more bodies he will have to clean up #1 CONTENDER’S MATCH: NORTH AMERICAN TITLE: WINNER GETS MATCH THIS WEEK IN CALGARY King Konga with Paul Ellering vs Rick Rude with Bobby Heenan This could be the TV match of the year so far. Both wrestlers have been on such a roll of late that it would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Both men try to use their power to their advantage and we get a lot of big moves. Ellering and Heenan were at their best here and were able to protect their men. Whether it was by distracting the ref or interfering just enough as to not be DQ’ed, Ellering and Heenan played a major role. Even though neither man was able to hit their finisher, we had a lot of near falls. The problem for everyone is that the 10 minute time expired without a winner! Nobody new what to do until Verne come out and explained that since we had no winner, the AWA North American Title Match was going to be a three-way match where whoever claimed the win, would get the title even if they did not defeat Bret Hart. Stu Hart came running out and for the first time, we see the two heads of All-Star on different sides. Stu thinks Verne is setting up his son for failure but Verne sees no other way out. Later in the show, Bret does an interview with Okerlund where he seems very concerned about the three-way match in Calgary but he is determined not to let his hometown fans in Calgary down! STORYLINE #2: THE YOUNG LIONS TOURNAMENT Trodgard reminds everyone that in the near future, AWA All-Star Wrestling will begin a round robin tournament for all wrestlers under the age of 25 with the winner being crowned the AWA Young Lion of the Year. Mr. Wrestling II, one of the trainers of some of the young wrestlers, comes out and says he is very excited about this tournament and let’s us know that we are about to see one of the Young Lions in action. Match: Keiji Mutoh beats Tom Stone Mr. Wrestling II stays with Trongard for this match and gives us some background on Mutoh who he says he found in a Dojo in Japan and was so impressed that he had to bring him back to the States and the AWA. As for the match, Mutoh does not disappoint. For someone so young, he has all the moves and seems very poised. The crowd was amazed at his high flying arsenal and by the end, when he hit what Wrestling II called a Moonsault…. Even Trongard was impressed and couldn’t wait for the Young Lions Tournament to start. Mr. Wrestling II says he has to relax as many new Young Lions are on their way to the AWA! Eddie Gilbert, who seems to have no respect for Wrestling II or any of the new young lions comes to the ring and confronts Mutoh. Mutoh obviously can’t understand him but knows Gilbert means business. As soon as Gilbert puts his hand on Mutoh…. Rod Trongard: Oh My God! What was that. Mutoh just leaped in the air and scissored the head of Gilbert and then flipped him over and is now sitting on his head. Wrestling II: Hahhah… Rod that was the Huracanrana! STORYLINE #3: THE AWA WORLD TITLE Gene Okerlund: Well fans, with me right now, is the AWA World Champion… Jerry Lawler Jerry Lawler: I think you meant… King Jerry Lawler. Well, last week the bloated maniac returned from Japan and says I stole his title by paying off the ref. I mean come on Hulk. Win like a man and lose like a man. Then he says that I have to give him his rematch. I offered him that rematch for three weeks and never once did I hear back from him. Gene Okerlund: Come on now Lawler… you know darn well Hogan was in Japan. Jerry Lawler: That is not my problem. If this belt doesn’t mean enough for Hogan to take his rematch when it was offered, he simply doesn’t get one. Other contenders have worked hard and I will be granting them their title shots first. Hogan can simply wait in line. In a rare tv match, Lawler actually puts the belt on the line MATCH: AWA TITLE MATCH: Jerry Lawler defeats Steve O with the Middle Rope Fist Drop This was not as easy as Lawler would have liked. In fact, Steve O almost pulled the upset when he hit a Lou Thesz press and got a 2 ½ count. Part of the reason for this is the crowd was chanting “We want Hulk… We want Hulk,” over and over again and it seemed to unnerve the champ who is used to having the fans in Memphis eating out of his hand. STORYLINE #4: AWA WORLD TAG TEAMT TITLE The Road Warriors w/ Ellering crush Brian Blair & Tom Zenk with the Doomsday Device on Zenk MATCH: Rick Martel & Curt Hennig defeat the Assassins with the Cradle Suplex by Hennig on #1 Both of these matches are pushing these two monster teams on a collision course to be the #1 contenders to the Sheiks (Blackwell & Patera) AWA World Tag Title. Both teams claim they are next in line for the title shot and how they don’t mind going through the other. Later in the show, we find out that is exactly what is going to happen as these two teams will face off in Calgary. STORYLINE #5: THE AWA LIGH HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Dynamite Kid is still in the AWA Pacific so Verne uses tonight’s show to find an opponent for Dynamite to defend his title against in Calgary MATCH: Steve Regal vs Keith Hart Another fast paced, light heavyweight match and the crowd here in Canada was completely behind Hart and when Keith worked over the knees of Saito and finished him off with the Figure Four, the crowd was excited for another Hart’s title match in Calgary. Those in the know, are sure this happened after a closed door argument between Verne and Stu about setting up his son, Bret, in that 3 Way Title Match where Bret must beat both Rude and Konga to keep his title. STORYLINE #6: THE MONGOLIAN STOMPER SEARCHING FOR REVENGE ON BAD NEWS ALLEN MATCH: Frank Adams defeats the Mongolian Stomper by count-out The problem here came with Stomper noticed Bad News Allen sitting in the front row. Trongard said that this was not in violation of his suspension as he was only banned from competing and not attending wrestling events. Stomper left the ring and went right after Bad News Allen who seemed ready for this attack. As Stomper headed right into the stands, he and Allen began throwing haymakers. Since Allen was in essence a “fan,” security by the boat loads rushed in and separated the two. This is going to get real interesting as Allen’s suspension ends next week! OTHER MATCHES MATCH: Jules Strongbow & Wahoo defeat Verlon Biggs and Larry Cheatum Wahoo is a huge upgrade to this Indian tag team but it will be interesting to see if they can make a dent in this crowded division. MATCH: Brad Rheingans vs Jos Leduc We find out that Jonathan Boyd, Leduc’s partner was injured last week at the hands of Rheingans so this is all about revenge. What we get is an all-out brawl that ends in a double count-out. Trongard wonders what is going to happen this week in Calgary as Rheingans and Greg Gagne were set to face Leduc and Boyd. Leduc swears that he has a new partner and the Commonwealth Connection will be just fine as Boyd heals. MATCH: Dick Murdoch defeats Brian Blair with the Brainbuster Blair has recently signed with the AWA and was hoping to have some of the same success he has had in other territories but Murdoch might have proved to him to stay out of the singles side of the action as Murdoch was on top for almost the entire match. Murdoch, one of the toughest in all of wrestling, just went to work and made this a brawl instead of a wrestling match and after a few big right hands he finished off the youngster with a Brainbuster. MATCH: Abdullah the Butcher with Sheik Adnan crushes Tom Birch with the end coming by Big Splash The Coral: Calgary: February 28, 1984 Keiji Mutoh vs Tony Torres Mongolian Stomper vs Verlon Biggs Dick Murdoch vs Wahoo McDaniel Greg Gagne & Brad Rheingans vs Jos Leduc and a mystery partner Dick Murdoch vs Wahoo McDaniel Rick Martel & Curt Hennig vs The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering AWA LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Dynamite Kid vs Keith Hart NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Rick Rude vs King Konga vs Bret Hart

All good. I will leave the rosters the same on the page and you guys can switch back when you want.

AWA BREAKING NEWS It appears that Ron Fuller and Southeastern Championship Wrestling have decided to jump on board with the AWA and break ties with the NWA. Ron Fuller, struggling for national exposure made the move in hopes of securing a national TV show as he has seen the success of the other promotions who have weekly shows on the USA Network, TBS, WGN and ESPN. The deal became a No Brainer for Verne Gagne when it become obvious that the deal included the NWA Champion Ric Flair. Hulk Hogan was given a huge contract to stay away from the WWF and rumor has it, Ric Flair received the exact same contract. Other wrestling stars coming to the AWA as part of this deal include Junk Yard Dog, Robert Fuller, Jerry Stubbs, Bob Armstrong and Superstar Billy Graham. Rumor has it that ESPN executives are salivating at the chance to get Ric Flair on one of their prime time shows. Stay tuned.... who could be next? Cowboy Bill Watts, Fritz Von Erich, the Grahams in Florida or maybe even Vince himself will succumb to the power that is AWA Wrestling!

Nice show with some big angles being developed. I am very interested in Ted Dibiase here. He is playing a babyface but acting like a heel. I wonder which side will win out. Brad Armstrong seems to have found some help in Al Perez but that might not be enough against the likes of Arn, Ole and Sawyer. Hart vs Poffo is an interesting feud that seems to be underway. Hart was such an awesome heel manager but Poffo is so evil here. It will be interesting to see who gets the first push between Hall and Michaels. Hall was a really good rookie and might be able to handle more but Michaels is hard to keep down.

All-star adds Buck Zumhofe and releases Jonathan Boyd

I am enjoying the rise in popularity of Bobby Jaggers and I think you might be the one territory where that makes a lot of sense. Nice creativity. Poor Rock N Roll Zumhofe but what did he expect. Brody is a wildman! And a wild a deep tag team division gets even better with the Sheepherders. Can't wait to see finally rises to the top here. The fans always seem like that NO DQ stipulation but sometimes it backfires as it did here as Hickerson was free to attack Cocoa and help Adrian pull out a victory. Maybe Cocoa needs some help. Great heel turn with Tsuruta and another mid-card feud is underway and clears some room in that deep tag division. Tully was so close and it seems like this feud will keep going. Rich is a nice choice as the fans love him but Tully is a tough one. Can't wait for the next round. Schultz and Sweetan are becoming a major headache for TNT. Will be interesting if Atlas can get some help and get another shot at them. Never really knew much about Ratymus but he is becoming one of my favorite heels! Imagine a card where Funk vs Race was not the main event.... what a roster and you have set it up to sell ticket and ticket! It seems like even with a card as big as this, the crowd would be talking about Idol and Ayala for years. Awesome match... like Stallone and Apolllo. Lawler, as I think only Lawler could do continues to be able to be the top babyface in TNT and the top heel in All-Star. Great win here over Bockwinkle. A lot of hard work went into this one! Great job.

And the crowd goes home very happy! I good day for all the babyfaces here with some awesome debuts by Yamada and Blackjack! On the other side, a monster heel has arrived and it will be interesting to see how far KKB goes!

All-Star adds Steve O and releases Ali Bey

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING: February 17, 1984: WGN TV: Salt Palace, Salt Lake City From coast to coast, continent to continent and border to border, we welcome you to AWA All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the Winnipeg Arena. I am Rod Trongard and joining me will be Gene Okerlund. Today, we are coming to you from the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah. STORYLINE #1: RANDY SAVAGE We get a video tape replay from last week where Savage violently attacked Bruce and Keith Hart in the parking lot and was screaming about how he wanted a North American title match against Bret Hart. We then get an interview with Bret Hart and Gene Okerlund. Bret Hart: Before I really get started, let me just say that I respect Verne Gagne and I respect his decision not to grant Randy Savage a shot at this here North American Title. But Savage listen closely… I hope you don’t think you can attack a member of the Hart family in a parking lot and there not be any repercussions. I will be coming for you whether it is a title match or in a dark alley. You better have eyes in the back of your head! Later we find out that this week in the Denver Audotorium, it will be Bret Hart vs Randy Savage in a Lights Out Match that was unsanctioned by the AWA! STORYLINE #2: THE YOUNG LIONS TOURNAMENT Verne Gagne is with Rod Trongard and says that the AWA continues to grow and sign new and exciting wrestlers each week and that includes the stars of tomorrow. He goes on to announce that the AWA will be starting a Round Robin tournament for all wrestlers under the age of 25 and the winner will be crowned the 2019 Young Lion of the year. He also announces that before the tournament starts, that a wrestling legend, Mr. Wrestling II has been brought in to help develop some of these Young Lions. Mr. Wrestling II comes in and announces that he might be getting a little bit older but is really excited with this role in the AWA and while he will continue to lace up the boots, he is going to put his heart and sole into helping the young guys here in All-Star Wrestling and that you will see some of these new young lions in the coming weeks. All of a sudden, Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Garvin and Precious comes strutting out to the interview area. Hot Stuff Inc is laughing about how the over the hill Mr. Wrestling II is going to teach anyone and how it doesn’t matter because Eddie Gilbert is the best young thing to come to professional wrestling in a long time and that he is going to be the obvious winner of the Young Lions tournament. Mr. Wrestling II: One thing I can’t stand from a young boy is arrogance! And one thing I know I can teach is respect! SMACK!.... Mr. Wrestling II smacks Gilbert so hard that Gilbert goes down. Mr. Wrestling II heads to the ring and we get an impromptu match MATCH: Eddie Gilbert vs Mr. Wrestling II Gilbert rushed in a little too quick and Mr. Wrestling II caught him in the gut. A few seconds later, Wrestling II catches Gilbert with a Million Dollar Knee lift and Gilbert goes down. Before the ref can complete the three count, Garvin hits the ring but he is met with the same fate with II connecting with another Million Dollar Knee Lift. As the ref calls for the bell and gives II the win by DQ, Wrestling II leaves the ring with Hot Stuff Inc. struggling to his feet. As the crowd goes wild, Trongard reminds us that maybe Eddie Gilbert could learn a thing or two from the legend Mr. Wrestling II Before our next match, we have a fuming Eddie Gilbert with Rod Trongard Eddie Gilbert: How dare you Wrestling II put your hands on me. You are just jealous of Hot Stuff Inc so you think you can prance in here and hide your old ugly face and get away with kicking someone so pretty as me. Well, look I got right back up and I am demanding a match for this week in Denver where I am sure you won’t last 5 minutes in the same ring as me. STORYLINE #3: THE RETURN OF HULK HOGAN AND THE AWA WORLD TITLE Gene Okerlund: Well fans, with me right now, fresh off his trip to Japan is none other than the former AWA World Champion… Hulk Hogan. How are you doing Hulk? Hulk Hogan: Well Mean Gene… let me tell ya… that was a bitter sweet trip to Japan. Fans in AWA Japan are awesome but I was going there to show what the champ is all about and then I had the belt robbed from me by the whole city of Memphis. That’s right… everyone saw my leg across the ropes as the Memphis referee counted three. We all know Jerry Lawler paid him well for that. Well Lawler, I am back and heard all you had to say about me when I was gone. The interesting thing is now that I am back, I am demanding my rematch! You have held onto something that is not yours. Hey Lawler…. What you gonna do when Hulkamania and the largest arms in the world run wild on you! STORYLINE #4: AWA WORLD TAG TEAMT TITLE MATCH: Curt Hennig (who is joined by Rick Martel) defeats Dream Machine (who is joined by Porkchop Cash as hits the German Suplex. Cash tried a few times to get involved but Martel quickly put an end to that. As Hennig and Martel join Okerlund, we find out that Curt is so happy to be back and that he can’t wait to get back in the ring with his partner here and win the tag titles that he believes should be theirs before the attack by the Sheiks on Hennig’s leg. Okerlund reminds them that this week in Denver it will be Martel and Hennig together against the Bruise Brothers (Cash and Dream Machine) and Martel and Hennig are both confident that this will be nothing more then a stepping stone to a title shot. MATCH: King Konga with Paul Ellering crushed Verlon Biggs with the Diving Headbut While Konga continues to impress, the interviews by Paul Ellering continue to focus on the Road Warriors. Tonight, Ellering takes a different road then calling out the AWA Champions. (The Sheiks) Instead, the focus was on Rick Martel and Curt Hennig who seem to be pushing for a title shot. Paul Ellering: Hey Martel and Heenig…. You snooze, you lose. While Curt was home nursing a hang nail, the Road Warriors took your place as the #1 threat for the titles and I am warning you not to get in our way or you will both be at home…. For a long time! STORYLINE #5: THE AWA LIGH HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: With Dynamite Kid off defending his title in the AWA Pacific, we get a nice tag team match between 4 of the better light heavyweights to remind everyone of the talent in the division. MATCH: Steve Regal & Hiro Saito vs Keith Hart & Bruce Hart This is the second time in two weeks that Regal is trying to get a win over the Harts as last week he beat Bruce in singles action. This is another great techhnical match that AWA viewers how come to appreciate in this Light Heavyweight division but it all went wild around the 8-minute mark as Regal tried to turn this into a brawl. The Harts were more then ready for the challenge and this one ended in a 10-minute brawl. This was a new side of the light heavyweight division and Trongard warns that Dynamite Kid better be on his toes if he is lucky enough to return with the belt. STORYLINE #6: THE MONGOLIAN STOMPER SEARCHING FOR REVENGE ON BAD NEWS ALLEN MATCH: The Mongolian Stomper defeats Cal Munson with the Sleeper While at the interview desk, Stomper is shown a video from Bad News Allen who is currently serving a 90 suspension for his role in the Calgary Riot! Bad News Allen: Hey Stomper… I hear you want a piece of me. I hear you are angry for me nearly killing your kid. I hear you say you are going to get revenge. Well guess what Stomper… Words are cheap! I will be back on March 3rd and we will see what you got. I bet you end up in a hospital bed next to that son of yours who I hear is still easting though a straw! HAHAHHAHAHAHH Stomper can’t even answer and goes wild as he tossing the table and chairs all over the Salt Palace in a fit of rage. OTHER MATCHES: MATCH: Jules Strongbow & Tom Zenk vs The Assassins (Roger Smith & Don Bass) Last week was the first time we saw the second Assassin appear on All-Star Wrestling as they tricked not only Jules Strongbow but also the ref as they did a little quick switch-a-roo for the victory. Tom Zenk decided to step up and help out Jules as they try for a little revenge. All seemed to be going good for the fan favorites until the action went a little crazy with all 4 men in the ring at the same time. Strongbow and Assassin #2 ended up on the floor and the ref gave them a little too much attention and Assassin #1 loaded up his mask and clocked Zenk with a headbut for the win. Trongard wonders if the Assassins are just going to cheat their way to the top or will someone stop them when all of a sudden Wahoo McDaniel joins Jules Strongbow and he is fuming about the tactics of the Assassins. He challenges them to a tag match in the Denver Auditorium where he guarantees that they will learn some respect! MATCH: Brad Rheingans vs Jonathan Boyd Rheingans and his tag team partner, Greg Gagne have been feuding with the Commonwealth Connection (Leduc and Boyd) for a while now and tonight we get a singles-match out of it. Rheingans used his Olympic style and skill to keep Boyd off guard while landing some big power moves. The end came with a Cradle Suplex and the crowd got what they wanted. Immediately after the 3 count, the show cut to a commercial break. This is because they did not want the fans at home to notice that the Suplex might not have been executed perfectly and Boyd was injured. The crowd at the show in the Salt Palace did see Boyd get some medical attention. We will have to keep an eye on this situation. MATCH: Dick Murdoch defeats Steve O with the Brainbuster Steve O was making his return to the AWA and it did not go as planned. Murdoch, one of the toughest in all of wrestling, just went to work and made this a brawl instead of a wrestling match and after a few big right hands he finished off the youngster with a Brainbuster. MATCH: Rick Rude defeats Greg Gagne with the Piledriver Rude has been on fire here of late and it doesn’t seem to matter who his competition has been but he needed some help here from Bobby Heenan who tripped up Gagne allowing Rude to hit the piledriver. As Rude walked towards the locker room, Macho Man Savage hit the ring and came off the top rope for an elbow drop on the already down and out Greg Gagne. As the show was going off the air, Trongard was sure after what we just saw that Savage and Heenan are connected! The Denver Auditorium: February 21, 1984 Rick Rude defeated Brain Blair with the Piledriver Mongolian Stomper defeated Hiro Saito with the Sleeper Wahoo McDaniel & Jules Strongbow defeat the Assassins with Wahoo gong on the War Dance on Assassin #1 Mr. Wrestling II defeats Eddie Gilbert by DQ as Precious hit Wrestling II over the head with a loaded purse. As Jimmy Garvin and Eddie Gilbert tried to rip the mask off of Mr. Wrestling II, two unknown wrestlers hit the ring and gave it pretty good to Hot Stuff Inc before they high tailed it back to the locker room Dick Murdoch defeated Brad Rheingans with the Brain Buster Rick Martel & Curt Hennig defeated The Bruise Brothers pretty easily as they continue their push back to the top of the tag team title division. LIGHS OUT MATCH: Bret Hart vs Randy Savage: In a wild knock down brawl, two of the best in the business had no interest in getting a win but instead they just wanted to hurt each other. After 30 minutes, the brawl ended in a draw but we still needed the entire locker room to empty to get them apart. While the crowd wanted a win by Hart, they will not leave upset as this match will stay etched in their minds forever!

Got it

Wow... some big names in this one! Can't wait to see who comes out on top

UPDATED ALL-STAR TRADING BLOCK Abdullah the Butcher Mongolian Stomper Road Warriors Mr. Wrestling II Bruce Hart Keith Hart Crusher Tom Zenk

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING: February 10, 1984: WGN TV: Winnipeg Arena From coast to coast, continent to continent and border to border, we welcome you to AWA All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the Winnipeg Arena. I am Rod Trongard and joining me will be Gene Okerlund. Well fans, before we get to the ring action tonight, we must go back to last week’s brutal attack by Randy Savage on Greg Gagne. VTR of the attack by Savage! After the interview Randy Savage storms the set and is as amped up as anyone you have ever seen. When Trongard tries to get to the bottom of the unprovoked attack on Gagne, Savage goes off! Randy Savage: Oh yeah! Listen up Trongard. This is all a set up to hurt keep my family. Oh yeah! We all know what that sleaze Jerry Jarrett did to my Dad, Angelo Poffo, down in Memphis. He tried to run us out of business! So what does Jarrett do when that doesn’t work, he joins with two other pieces of trash… Verne Gagne and Stu Hart! First thing they try to do is split us up! While I am here to take out anyone related to Verne Gagne or Stu Hart! Oh Yeah!! And before long… that North American Title that Bret Hart is walking around with will be mine! Trongard wants to know if he is Bobby Heenan’s new “family” member that Heenan said would destroy both Verne Gagne and Stu Hart for not giving his men title shots but we never get a clear answer. Savage starts ranting that he wants Bret Hart right now and he is like a caged animal. He is so crazed that before we go to break, Trongard calls for security which ends up with Savage beating on a couple of goons as he almost destroys the set! COMMERCIAL MATCH: Rick Martel defeats Verlon Biggs with the Boston Crab. Martel is joined by his injured tag team partner, Curt Hennig who is excited to be getting closer to returning as his injured knee is feeling better. Hennig gives a lot of credit to Martel who had to wrestle the Sheiks all alone on the ESPN Supercard a few weeks back and that he can’t wait to get back in action and get revenge on Adnan Al Kassie and his group of traitors. MATCH: Jules Strongbow vs The Assassin (Roger Smith A pretty even match here that follows the basic outline of babyfaces on top early, heel gains momentum with some dirty tactics followed by the babyfaces making the comeback. It is here that we go a little crazy as another masked man comes out and starts to cheer on the other masked man. At one point the action spilled out onto the floor with Strongbow recovering quicker and getting back into the ring. The Assassin was slow to get up but this allowed the other masked man to roll into the ring without the ref knowing. This “fresh” Assassin surprised Strongbow and a knee to the gut followed by a suplex for the win. COMMERCIAL MATCH: The Crusher defeats The Turk Ali Bey The Crusher joins Okerlund for a quick interview: Crusher: I told you guys last week that I might not be as good as I once was but I am as good once as I ever was and Superstar Graham found that out last week in our Chicago Street fight in the Rosemont Horizon and so did all the little “dollies” down on Halstead Street as we partied till mornin! MATCH: Steve Regal vs Bruce Hart Another great technical match that AWA viewers how come to appreciate in this Light Heavyweight division. Trongard lets us know that the winner here will get a shot at Dynamite Kid and his title this week in St. Paul. Regal came out with a fancy jacket and headband and was dancing to so music and interacting with the fans. Hart, also a fan favorite came in more subdued as he meant business. The match started and ended with a handshake but nothing else about it was friendly as these two put it all on the line. We started with some faced paced chain wrestling and the bumping, selling and reversals continued throughout. The end came when Hart landed wrong after missing a cross body block and he seemed to hurt his shoulder. Regal took advantage of this and went to work with the win coming by submission with the Surf Board. Regal was all over the place in this match and Trongard explained that is why we call him Mr. Electricity. COMMERCIAL When we come out of break, chaos is going on. Trongard is speaking at a frantic pace about an attack in the parking lot as Gene Okerlund and a cameraman are trying to rush to the scene. As we get some footage of what is going on back there, we see Randy Savage tossing Bruce Hart into car after car. Hart is in real danger when all of a sudden, Keith Hart rushes out. Unfortunately, he suffers the same fate as his brother and all the microphone can hear is Savage screaming that he wants Bret Hart. It takes about 5 guys to finally stop Randy Savage when out of nowhere comes Bret Hart and the fight is back on. This one is more even and takes more guys from the back to break it up. Rod Trongard: My God, I can’t believe what I have just scene. We will need to hear from Verne Gagne about this wild scene. I mean who does this Randy Savage think he is? He can’t just come in here beating people up and trying to permantely hurt members of the Gagne and Hart families. Verne Gagne comes out shaking his head and takes the microphone and he is as mad as you have ever scene him. Verne Gagne: I DON’T CARE WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE MR. RANDY SAVAGE AND I DON’T CARE WHO YOUR FATHER IS. THIS IS THE AWA. THE GREATEST WRESTLING ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD TODAY AND WE WILL NOT BE BULLIED BY YOU. YOU SAY YOU WANT A TITLE SHOT WITH BRET HART…. THEN EARN ONE YOU COWARD! COME TO ALL-STAR WRESTLING AND ACTUALLY START TO WIN SOME REAL MATCHES. UNTIL THEN, YOU WILL GET NOTHING. AND FOR YOUR ACTIONS THE LAST TWO WEEKS, YOU WILL BE HEAVILY FINED. ONE MORE STUNT LIKE THAT AND YOU WILL BE SUSPENDED FROM THE AWA! Rod Trongard: Well thank you Mr. Gagne. For your sake Mr. Savage, I hope you heed this man’s warning. He means business! Let’s get back to the ring. MATCH: King Konga with Paul Ellering crushed Larry Cheatum with the Diving Headbut In the interview area, we find out that it will actually be a Manager vs Manager Match in the Civic Center as Paul Ellering will face Sheik Adnan Al Kassie. If Ellering wins, his Road Warriors will get another title show vs Blackwell and Patera for the AWA World Tag Team Titles! In the interview, Ellering goes from his normally calm self to a ragging lunatic and rips his shirt off showing a surprisingly great physique. Okerlund warns the Sheik that he may be in trouble in St. Paul. COMMERCIAL MATCH: Dick Murdoch defeats Tom Zenk with the Brainbuster Zenk is young and an obvious physical specimen but Murdoch is one of the toughtest in all of wrestling. He just went to work and made this a brawl instead of a wrestling match and after a few big right hands he finished off the youngster with a Brainbuster. During the match, Trongard let us know that Murdoch defeated Wahoo McDaniel last week in the Rosemont Horizon in a real slugfest that could have gone either way and has now earned a North American Title shot this week in the St. Paul Civic Center against Bret Hart. When asked by Okerlund about his match with Wahoo and the upcoming title shot against Bret Hart, Murdoch gave one of his great promos. Dick Murdoch: Gene, I will tell you one thing… Wahoo is one tough Injun but he is not West Texas tough. The only people who thought he had a chance with me were people who were as drunk as he was on Snake juice! And let me tell you another thing Wahoo… you better start worrying about Dick Murdoch and focus on how to survive getting scalped if you ever get in the ring with me again. Now as far as Bret Hart goes… We hear all of the stories of the training that goes on in Stu Hart’s Dungeon and how his boys can do it all. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I West Texas we fight for fun. We like pain and like to cause pain. We weren’t taught how to survive in a wrestling ring. We were taught how to be the only one who survives. Come this Thursday in the St. Paul Civic Center, I will be the one walking out with the North American Title and Bret Hart will be the one bleeding all over the stretcher they are taking him out on. MATCH: Rick Rude defeats Hiro Saito with the Piledriver Rude has been on fire here of late and it doesn’t seem to matter who his competition has been. He was very good on his own but throw in Heenan and it looks like he might have gold around his waist in the near future. Saito was good and continues to look like he is on the verge of breaking out but Rude was just a little to powerful her tonight. When Heenan and Rude joined Okerlund, Mean Gene wanted to know if the star he had just signed last week was indeed Randy “Macho Man” Savage. Heenan seemd a little frustrated that the focus was not on how great Rick Rude just looked. COMMERCIAL MATCH: Greg Gagne & Brad Rheingans vs The Commonwealth (Leduc and Boyd) This week Greg has his normal partner back and it makes a world of difference. Last week he took on the Commonwealth with Bruce Hart and their lack of size just could not handle Leduc’s power. This week, Rheingans is more than strong enough and we get a great match that nearly goes this distance. Neither team wants a draw as they both want to move up the ranks and maybe secure a future tag team title match. Leduc and Boyd begin to use some real dirty tactics and Rheingans is in trouble. It is amazing how good Greg Gagne can be in tag matches and each time the Commonwealth went for a cover, he made a perfectly times safe. In the end, this backfired as the ref was forcing him out of the ring and Boyd caught Rheingans with the flag pole he had carried to the ring. This gave the victory to the Commonwealth and they stomped around waving the flag of the British Commonwealth to a chorus of boos. The St. Paul Civic Center: February 14, 1984 Mongolian Stomper defeats Don Bass with the Sleeper. Crowd is really digging the fan favorite Stomper. Eddie Gilbert with Precious defeats Tom Zenk with help from the loaded purse followed by a Hot Shot Greg Gagne & Brad Rheingans defeat The Commonwealth Connection (Leduc and Boyd) by DQ as Leduc went crazy and hit Gagne over the head with the flagpole. Fortunately for the fan favorites the ref saw it all. The crowd was fuming at the violent attack on their boy Greg.

AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Bret Hart vs Dick Murdoch: This match ends in a Double Count out with a big brawl on the arena floor.

He is all yours. I put it in the transaction page

All-star selects Brian Blair and releases Hiro Saito

Great series of House shows! I liked your use of Terry Daniels here against the Foreign Enemies!

All-Star also retires from the draft

All-Star selects Keiji Mutoh and releases Sonny Two Rivers

All-Star takes Lance VonErich but he will be used as Ricky Vaughn. Also to stay within our roster limits of 46, I will drop MX-1

Very interesting show. Austin with the upset win over Thorton. Les Thorton is a man who seems to get no love in these games even though he was technically very good but I think he had trouble winning over the crowd and was not a great heel. I am excited about Hacksaw as the national champ but I still think Roberts did more then even out the sides against the Koloffs. Brad vs Arn would be an awesome match... two of the best in-ring guys I have ever seen. Dibiase calls out all the heels as he says he is not one to shy away from breaking the rules. Interested to see which side of the fence he falls on.

All-star selects Marty Jannety. Rain is up next

All-Star selects Nikita Koloff. Cpt. Redneck is up for two picks back to back
