So much happening here! Your writing style gives this all such a real feel! I am enjoying all of your title changes as it gives the feuds an element of surprise. The Rat Patrol wins some and then the Midnight Express win some. This gives each match its own feel and keeps fans involved. Have Fire and Flame become the Assassins? Flair vs Brody will be expect! Great show

Nice round of shows again with your House shows giving us a lot of insight into your angles. Would love to here more from Hacksaw Reed and Wildfire on tv but that is my own bias as they were two of my favorites. Was surprised to see Roop save Daniels but Roop was awesome as both a heel and a babyface. He was very underrated in my opinion. I hope Hansen respects that AWA TV title more than he did the AWA World title in real life. I heard he ran it over with a truck or something before giving it back to Verne. He should make a great champ and will be hard to beat.

What a show for the fans in San Antonio! Nice start with the AWA Light Heavyweight match where McGraw gave Dynamite Kid all he could handle. Stasiak is making a great manager for Jumbo Guerreros and Sheepherders might need a steel cage or a lumberjack match to contain this white hot feud. I like Wells in this role of getting a lot of attention on TV but putting over Atlas in the big show. Wells was really underrated and I love your use of him. He could have been bigger in real life especially in the Southern brawling promotions like TNT. Race and Ayala was a war and I could have seen that going either way. Race is such a big name in pro wrestling but Ayala was one tough hombre. You have done another magic act with a great midcard feud between Jaggers and Street. Can Street now get revenge is the question. Tully could be TV champ forever and it would never get old! That is until he wants more. The sky is the limit. Nightmares are proving to be just that for the Fab Ones... a true Nightmare! Funk vs Bockwinkle.... a perfect outcome for Texas! What happens next? If the big show is in Memphis... the King might have some input. WHAT A SHOW... WHAT A ROSTER

Great show! JYD vs Kamala on TV where we actually get a winner is awesome. Also, the Tournament is shaping up nicely. Pringle may be right when he says nobody can stand up to OMG. All is right in the wrestling world when the Freenbirds/VonErich feuds are going strong. I love the mix of World Class and Mid-South. Interested to see how big Magnum T.A. is going to be.

The Rosemont Horizon: Chicago: April 4th, 1984 1. Koko Ware & Sweet Brown Sugar defeats Buck Zumhofe & Jules Strongbow in a match that ends with a handshake following the Double Drop Kick on Zumhofe 2. YOUNG LIONS TOURNAMENT: Kendall Windham defeats Ricky Vaughn with the Running Bulldog 3. Ox Baker defeats Mr. Wrestling II as Bob Sweetan hit Wrestling II with a piledriver when the ref was knocked down. 4. AWA LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: Dynamite Kid defeats Greg Gagne with help from Jos Leduc who distracted the ref and allowed Kid to catch Gagne with a foreign object 5. Crusher defeats Ciclon Negro after a wild brawl 6. Bruce Hart & Jim Neidhart defeat Jos Leduc and Davey Boy Smith as Gagne came to ringside and got the attention of Leduc. This allowed him to get in an Anvil Powerslam. 7. Nicolai Volkoff defeated Brad Rheingans with the Bear Hug. 8. $10,000 20 MAN OVER THE TOP BATTLE ROYAL Winner: The Sheiks: After disposing of many of the other wrestlers, Jerry Blackwell and Ken Patera found themselves to be the last two standing. It appeared that they were going to fight it out to see who was the best but Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie got them both to leave the ring through the middle ropes and share the victory. 9. Randy Savage & Rick Martel defeated Bret Hart & Curt Hennig when Bobby Heenan accidentally hit Hart with a chair which allowed Martel to cover him. Rick Rude rushed the ring and Heenan’s family ended up leaving Savage and Martel laying in the ring.

Great set of house shows! That show is Lakeland was awesome as would be any show with Barry Windham in the opening! -Rick Rude is excited to be pulling some double duty here. I hope he makes a good first champ for you.

Nice set of house shows that keeps all of the top talent real hot without giving too much away as the angles continue to grow.

Great set of shows here. Ricky Gibson better be careful in a year or two as Red is no the come! Madril helped out Playboy but Playboy might not have returned the favor as we get the Loser Leave Town match with Piper. Rock n Roll Express-East West Connection could be a great feud of opposite styles. Slater vs Billy Jack... Awesome. Slater is so good and bringing the heat.... This one could sell some real tickets!

I have no problem with Kiniski as long as nobody else does.

That is fine. We will leave him as a ref as that his what he is most known for.

Current List: Hulk Hogan Mr. Wrestling II Marty Jannety Lance VonErich Brad Rheingans

No problem. I love it. It makes sense as you need to keep drawing in the same fans week after week and title changes would have them buying tickets over and over again

All-Star sends Jimmy Garvin and Precious to Southeastern for Steve Williams and Baby Doll

Nice set of house of shows. Loved the bodyslam challenge! This might be the only time David Sammertino was the main event instead of Hulk Hogan. That is how over Tommy Rich was in Georgia. He better watch his back because when Hart turns on him, he could run for Governor of Georgia.

Oh and the family feud begins!!!! Honky Tonk with the guitar shot. If you have never seen it, search the Tupelpo Concession Stand fight.... awesome. I am enjoying the resurgence of Master G! Miss Linda is causing havoc... always fun when a female played a major role in the mid 80's! Nice use of Regal and McGraw to give the Light HW title a little attention. Nice role here for Stasiak as his in-ring career is winding down/ Decimation is ringing up quickly. Can't wait for the big show in the Hemisfair Arena

Great round of house shows here. Love how you are able to get so much out of wrestlers who many wrestling historians seem to think were middle of the road like Wendell Cooley and the Rat Patrol. I also think it was so much harder for wrestlers in smaller promotions because they ran similar loops each week and the same wrestlers had to keep getting over on the fans. In places like the WWF, Hogan might visit a place a couple of times of year and it was easy for him to be believable but in Southeast, his gimmick would never work. Also. if you get a chance to check the title history page, just let me know if I missed something. You had a lot of changes and I would like to keep it updated

Great... Great show! JYD is a great lead face. Dr. Death is going to want some revenge here if he is not hurt to bad. Windham over Ron Bass would have been one of the best tv matches I ever saw. The size of the heels in World Class is scary! Kamala, Boone and OMG. Thats like 1400 pounds of nasty! Love it

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING: March 30, 1984: WGN TV: Milwaukee Auditorium The show starts with a VTR of the last few minutes of Hulk Hogan’s match against Jerry Lawler where he won the AWA World Heavyweight Title for a second time. From coast to coast, continent to continent and border to border, we welcome you to AWA All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the Milwaukee Auditorium. I am Rod Trongard and it has been just seven days since our ESPN Spectacular and we have so much to talk about. That night really changed AWA All-Star Wrestling forever and we have so much to talk about. As you saw in our opening, Hulk Hogan is the new AWA Champion! We will be seeing a taped interview from Hulk a little while later as he is off defending the World Title. Let’s get our show under way. STORYLINE #1: FALL OUT FROM THE ESPN SHOW Trongard reminds us that the ESPN show was full of twist and turns and that tonight, we will get to the bottom of the questions that remain from the other night! Since Bobby Heenan is at the center of many of those twist and turns, he is brought out first to the interview desk. Gene Okerlund: First, I must say that your actions the other night leave something to be desired. Somehow, you got Curt Hennig to help you and your man, Rick Rude get a win against Rick Martel by hitting him with a chair and then you come out and push Randy Savage off the top rope costing him the AWA North American Title! Bobby Heenan: I must say it feels good to fool all of you Humanoids! I have been listening to all you dummies asking me if Randy Savage was the newest member of the Heenan family. I mean are you that stupid. Would I ever have a psycho like Savage in my stable. He is a maniac who nobody can trust. I told you that I was going to sign somebody that would shock the Verne Gagne and Stu Hart and I did just that. To the interview desk comes none other than Bret Hart where he and Heenan embrace. Gene Okerlund: Oh I am going to be sick. Why Bret… Why? Bret Hart: That’s the same question my father asked me and the answer is simple. To be the best… I must be with the best. I have listened to these fans… to my brothers… and to my father for years and it got me nowhere. I listened to the Brain here for one night and I defeated one of the craziest men in the entire sport. With Bobby by my side, this AWA North American title will be mine for as long as want. And now comes Rick Rude and Curt Hennig Bobby Heenan: And here comes the rest of the greatest stable in the history of professional wrestling… and together we will rule the Sport of Kings! Gene Okerlund: I got to ask Curt… You and Rick Martle where so close to the AWA World Tag Title… How could you turn on your partner. Curt Hennig: Turn on him? I think you need to go back and check your facts. Rick Martel is all about Rick Martel and I got sick and tired of it. I carried him for the entire time we were partners and I got tired of it. I had to do so much of the work that I actually got hurt because Martel is a useless partner who only cares about himself. Gene Okerlund: Oh come on Curt… he took on the Sheiks all by himself because you claimed you were hurt. Curt Hennig: And what did he do?… He Lost. That’s all he ever did when I was not there. Now… he better watch his back as Rick Rude and myself are coming after him! MATCH: CURT HENNIG WITH BOBBY HEENAN DEFEATS VERLON BIGGS WITH THE CRADLE SUPLEX STORYLINE #2: So Who is Next for Hulk Hogan… MATCH: BAD NEWS ALLEN SIMPLY DESTROYS BUCK ZUMHOFE At the interview desk: Bad News Allen: There is only one man in All-Star Wrestling who has not lost this year and that is me! I took care of that No-Good Mongolian Stomper and he is lucky I didn’t hurt him as badly as I did his son. Now it is time for Verne Gagne and Stu Hart to give me what is rightfully mine… A world title shot with Hulk Hogan. MATCH: BOB SWEETAN DEFEATS RICKY VAUGHN WITH THE PILEDRIVER Sweetan is joined by Ox Baker at the interview desk and they both say that they were sent her by the Colonel to take care of Hulk Hogan and that is exactly what they plan to do. When asked who the Colonel was, they saud that everyone will find out soon enough! MATCH: NICOLAI VOLKOFF DEFEATS BUBBA DOUGLAS WITH THE RUSSIAN BACKBREAKER Volkoff does his best to anger the fans by insulting not only their country but their incompetent World Champion… Hulk Hogan Who is the biggest threat to Hulk Hogan and his new title… only time will tell! STORY LINE #3 So Why did Randy Savage come out to prevent Hulk Hogan from being attacked by Sweetan and Ox Baker in his World Title Match Against Jerry Lawler? In an interview with both Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage we find out that apparently Hogan went to Savage after he was attacked by Heenan in his AWA North American Title Match with Bret Hart. Hogan consoled Savage and explained that he has been dealing with the Weasel Bobby Heenan for a long time and that the two of them should join together to watch each other’s back! When Randy Savage rushed out to stop Sweetan and Baker from their attack on Hogan, it was the first time that this alliance was in effect but Heenan and all of the rest of the Heels in the AWA better beware! STORYLINE #4: What is the current status of Hot Stuff Inc.! Trongard reminds us that in recent weeks we have seen Precious give Eddie Gilbert a kiss which seemed to anger Jimmy Garvin and then Precious was sprayed with some sort of green mist after she taunted Keiji Mutoh. Eddie Gilbert, in a quick interview, admits that he has not seen Precious or Jimmy Garvin sense the ESPN show and believes that Jimmy Garvin has left All-Star Wrestling and taken Precious with him because he was jealous of Eddie Gilbert. Gilbert doesn’t seem very concerned and says Hot Stuff Inc. is about to get an upgrade! When asked what that meant, Gilbert simply smiled into the camera and says Hot Stuff Inc. is about to be Perfect! STORYLINE #5: YOUNG LIONS TOURNAMENT MATCH NIKITA KOLOFF CRUSHES BART BATTEN WITH THE RUSSIAN SICKLE MATCH: DAVEY BOYS SMITH DEFEATS MARTY JANNETTY WITH THE RUNNING POWER SLAM STANDINGS: Eddie Gilbert 1-0: 2 Points Bart Batten: 0-1: 0 Points Nikita Koloff 1-0: 2 Points Marty Jannety 0-1: 0 Points Davey Boy Smith 1-0: 2 Points Kendall Windham 0-0 Keiji Mutoh 0-1: 0 Points Ricky Vaughn 0-0 STORYLINE #6: AWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE: Match: The Sheiks (Patera & Blackwell) with Sheik Adnan defeat Mr. Wrestling II and Jules Strongbow as Adnan interferes to help get the pin on Strongbow. OTHER MATCHES: Sweet Brown Sugar & Koko Ware defeat The Turk and Ciclon Negro with the Double Drop Kick Mr. Wrestling II defeats Larry Cheatum with the Millon Dollar Knee lift Rick Martel defeated Jos Leduc by DQ as Dynamite Kid interfered when Martel had Leduc in the Boston Crab

I would expect most potential WWF wrestlers to be protected but you do not need to submit that list until November. My big decision will be Hulk Hogan.

RETIREMENT LIST FOR 1985... Wrestlers who wrestled less than 10 matches a year for the rest of their careers WRESTLERS FROM THIS LIST CAN BE USED AS MANAGERS OR FOR ONE OR TWO SHOWS AS A SPECIAL ATTRACTION! If to be used as a manager, they must take up a roster spot. Special Attraction will just need to be booked. Afa Ali Bey Angelo Mosco Baron Mikel Siciluna Big Boy Williams Bill Howard Bill White Black Gordman Blackjack Lanza Bubba Douglas Buck Robley Butcher Vachon Charlie Cook Ciclon Negro Danny Babich Danny Fargo Dick the Bruiser Don Kolov Ernie Ladd Francisco Flores Frank Dusek Gino Brito Grizzly Evans Jim Starr John Bonello Ken Lucas Kenny Jay Killer Karl Krupp Kurt VonHess Larry Lane Luke Graham Norman Frederick Charles III Pat Patterson Scott Ferris Sonny Boy Hayes Sonny King Steve Diblasio Stan Stasiak Tapu Tio Vic Rossitini Yasuyuki Fugii

OHHHH THE HEAT THAT FLAIR IS GOING TO GET! One more note... it wouldn't be Southeastern Wrestling without an Armstrong near the top and now both Scott and Steve have a title!

Fun show. I would have loved to see the Rock n Roll Express overcome the power of the Zambuie Express. I also thought Nord vs Big Jim would have been a great bout.

Those are left out until someone either takes over WWF or certain wrestlers from WWF leave and go to another promotion. If they reach 10% in a given year, they will become eligible for our draft. This rule has allowed us to bring people in with a nice roster where they have kept interested.

Atlantic Coast is on fire! Love the House of Humperdink as we never know what is next. Sullivan was great at bringing in the HEAT. He was awesome on TV with his gimmick but was also always willing to do the job on the house shows. Freebirds are really fun and will bring the house down in ACCW. Can't wait to see what is next. You are making some big names out of your midcarders and Rocky Kernodle really has my attention.
