Another great night in the Greensboro Coliseum. I think the Southern Boys have found the perfect home here as their talents are quickly put to good use. Dibiase was always a force in the NWA but is becoming unstoppable. Even in the DCO, what was evident to me was that he didn't need the Awesome Twosome to retain against a quality opponent but it is obvious there is more to come between he and the Fly.

Great job explaining Rich went to Lutte against doctors orders. I agree with Dawho that in the new cable tv age, we have to be careful of what each other is doing when we loan out talent. This is a tough day and age for the territory system as we still have many kids believing this is real and not sports entertainment. I remember watching Georgia Championship wrestling and they did a promo with JYD in a hospital bed on a Saturday and then I watched Mid-South on Sunday at JYD was wrestling. This was an eye opener for a 9 or 10 year old kid. That being said, the show was awesome and I love Tommy Rich/Buzz Sawyer as much as anything. I rencently was watching some Georgia championship Wrestling from 1979 and Buzz and Sullivan were both young babyfaces. They both had some real skill! NIce job keeping some of the opening talent and midcarders hot with some good wins over the jobbers. Great promo with Dibiase and his build up of his match with Snuka. I loved Ted calling his a Fly. I was excited for your mainevent and enjoyed Oliver attacking Mulligan before the bell. The attack by the Southern Ramblers was classic TV abd that is where I thought it would end. Your way of bringing the Southern Boys here was oerfect and gets them over right away.

It doesnn't matter who else is invilved with Jaggers and Mantell... this is one hot feud. I like how nothing went well for Chicky in his match. The frustrated heel is always a fun watch. The ref looking under the ring in the Starr vs Ayala match and finding Victor the Bodyguard was a great touch as was Tamba and Victor trying to break through the wall of security. Perfect WWC match. Even in a loss, Owen's status is growing.

Great card and I loved Owen Hart taking his belt and heading for the hills. From what I hear, that would be a dangerous action so late in the card as the alcohol would have been flowing for a long time by then. As Edger said, I was a little surprised that Colon was in the semi-main event

Tommy Rich getting some help from OMG is the only was he is beating Kokina in under 6 minutes. OMG vs Kokina is going to be HUGE

8/2/1986 GARRETT COLISEUM: MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA (HOUR #2) Jerry Lawler beats Mike Miller with a Piledriver Jerry Lawler: You know something Jim Ross. It was hard. Really hard. Fulfilling my contract in WCCW while listening to Wayne Ferris or as he is calling himself now, Honky Tonk Man, talking trash about me and my people in Memphis. He was saying the King was a coward! I mean he is still angry that I shoved a hot dog in his mouth in Tupelo a few years ago just to shut him up! Now, every time I call him out, he runs away. I keep stealing his guitars and giving them away to get him angry enough to fight but he refuses. He is the real coward but this week in the Mid-South Coliseum there will be no place to run. We will be inside of a steel cage and I am about to shut you up for good! Non-Title Match UWF Champion Magnum T.A. defeats Verlon Biggs with the Belly to Belly Suplex in under a minute The U.S. Express joins Magnum T.A. at the interview desk and all three talk about how things are changing around here for the good. They stress how Nikita is no longer the World Champ and they joke about how he seems to have been sent to Siberia by the KGB. Rotundo and Windham take a minute to hype up their match with Ivan Koloff and Ole Anderson this week at the Mid-South Coliseum. The joking stops as they promise that Ivan will be joining Nikita in Siberia after what they are going to do to him. We also find out that it will be Magnum vs Dick Murdoch for the UWF title in Memphis. COMMERCIAL Dr. Death Steve Williams crushes The Gambler with a Football Tackle followed by the Oklahoma Stampede At the interview desk, Dr. Death is really pumped up for the end of Devastation Inc. Dr. Death: Skandar Akbar you have finally bitten off more then you can chew. My buddies, the Road Warriors, are going take out Haku and the Barbarian and them I am going to complete the destruction of Devastation Inc. by crushing that freak who thinks he is from the Middle Ages, the Warlord. Akbar thinks he can run me out of the UWF but he doesn’t realize that I got to many friends for that and after this week, he will be all alone. Big Bubba Rogers with Jim Cornette defeats Rocky Iaukea with a Sidewalk Slam Jim Corette: Dick Slater… I am getting sick and tired of you costing the Midnight Express the NWA National tag titles. You interfered last week in Shreveport and all of a sudden, Jim Cornette is interrupted Cowboy Bill Watts: And you know what Jim Cornette. I am getting sick and tired of you interfering in my title matches. All Dick Slater did was stop you from using your tennis racket against the Rock n Roll Express! Jim Cornette: Watts you better not be accusing me of cheating. Mother’s lawyers don’t take kindly to harassment. Cowboy Bill Watts: Well if you think that is harassment wait for this week in the Mid-South Coliseum where you will be handcuffed to me as the Midnight Express and this security guard behind me, Bubba Rogers, face Dick Slater and the Rock n Roll Express. Jim Cornette: Are you out of your mind. I aint going to handcuffed to you. I mean you haven’t showered in weeks! Cowboy Bill Watts: Cornette… make all the jokes you want but I wasn’t done explaining the match. If Slater and the Rock n Roll Express win the match, Dick Slater will get 5 minutes alone in the ring with you. Jim Cornette is going nuts as Watts simply walks off screen. COMMERCIAL Iceman Parsons defeats Rocky Iaukea with a Butt Bump Iceman continues to rebuild his relationship with the fans here as he is looking for and getting forgiveness for his short stint with Ernie Ladd. Sean Royal wrestles Brickhouse Brown to a 10-minute draw Both Jack Brisco and Jim Ross are really impressed with Royal here as they are surprised he got the draw against someone on the level as Brickhouse Brown COMMERCIAL In this segment, we first get a squash match win for Bullet Bob Armstrong and during his post-match interview he is joined by the UWF Continental Champion, Terry Taylor and the UWF Tag Team Champions, Brad Armstrong and Jeff Jarrett Jim Ross: Well it seems you guys will have you hands full this week with Ron Wright. Bob Armstrong: Well Jim, I think Ron Wright is going to have his hands full. I will be there to make sure he doesn’t try any of his funny business! Brad Armstrong: This week in the Omni it will be me, JJ and my Dad against the Long Riders to put an end of them once and for all. Last week they found out that their rough stuff doesn’t bother us! Isn’t that right JJ? Jeff Jarrett: Well last week Wright said that we better start praying the Long Riders don’t hurt us too much as they take our titles. Well look here. These titles are still around our waist and we are still as pretty as were before we cracked those cowboys over their heads. Jim Ross: And what about you Terry? This week in the Omni you will also be facing one of Ron Wright’s Army members as you will be defending that Continental Title against the Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller. Terry Taylor: Ron Fuller stands up here and says he is too good to wrestle on TV. I know one thing, he isn’t good enough to take this title from me. Ron Wright comes out and is in a wheelchair where he goes off on the Unchristianed. Ron Wright: I mean I have never seen such poorly mannered men in my life. I suffered a heinous attack last week as you heathens sent Grizzly Boone out to attack me, an old man. That 400 pound gorilla jumped on my legs and now the doctors don’t know if I will ever walk again. Do you ask how I am?… No. You just say what you ae going to do to my boys. Well guess what? They are coming for revenge…Right Now! Wham…. Murdoch, Fuller, Ron Bass and Black Bart attack from behind and the brawl is on. It is a wild scene here and it looks like it could either way until Grizzly Boone hits the scene and he is like a Wildman using his size to wreak havoc. After Boone leaves Wright’s Army scattered around the arena Jim Ross wonders if Wright should have fired this angry monster!

Great balance to this card with all type of endings. I love seeing Bam Bam. I think he could be whatever you wanted him to be as WWC just seems like a natural fit for him.

Very fun card for me as the Bullet gets some revenge on Candido. Tommy Rich, another of my favorites, seems to be on getting on a roll of late after some struggles with Prichard. Brito seems to have a lot of enemies and might need more allies to take on Paul E. The build of Don Kernodle and the rebuild of Martel continues here. Wonder if they will ever meet down the road. Kernodle can't hold that Canadian title forever and well Rick Martel is Rick Martel

It seems like the foreigners are on fire in WWC. The Battens to LuDuc to Boyd & Crusher and lets not forget sbout Dutch and Jaggers. Abdullah Tamba is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Sept. 20 will be hot. As Edger said, you are doing a great job and your format is all up to you

Hahah Sorry Spaldoni. Meant to say NWA. Some many typos by me lately.

Paul E must have been doing some real work on that ref as he did not even here Kokina hitting two leg drops. Paul E has always been one of the best takers in the game. Very interested to see what Candido has against Bob Armstrong. Kernodle continues to be one of the interesting guys in the UWF Keep up the good work

8/2/1986 GARRETT COLISEUM: MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA (HOUR #1) The show opens with a video from this week’s event in St. Louis where we see Nikita Koloff slugging it out with NWA champ Kerry VonErich. In the end we see Nikita going for the Russian Sickle but Kerry ducks under it and hits Nikita with the Tornado Punch for the victory. Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery, Alabama. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is once again wrestling legend Jack Brisco. Well fans, you just saw it. Kerry VonErich once again defeated the Russian Nightmare, Nikita Koloff. Ivan and Ole Anderson come to the interview area without Nikita Koloff. Ivan Koloff: I am sick and tired of you Americans gloating every time your cheating ways cause a superior Russian athlete to lose to an inferior American. You never showed the videos of all the matches Nikita won! Jack Brisco: Speaking of the ex-champ. Where is Nikita? Ole Anderson: Listen up Brisco… you are an ex-champ also. We all are. This is a tough sport and you know that! The difference is in America we coddle our athletes when they loose. Give them a soda pop and a few cookies. That is why America is so soft! Jim Ross: Not sure that answered the question Ole. Ivan Koloff: Where is Nikita? That’s none of your business but since we have nothing to hide, Nikita has been called home to Russia. He will be back when they are finished with him. Jack Brisco: Finished with him? Ole Anderson: Ok enough of this crap. Let’s focus on what is important and that is what is going to happen to Kendall Windham and Mike Rotundo this week in the Mid-South Coliseum. Let’s just say that those do- gooders called the U.S. Express will be waving only one flag when Ivan and I are done with them and that is the White Flag! Match: The Demon (Brain Adams in a red mask) beats Doug Smith with the Full Nelson Face Slam COMMERCIAL Buddy Landell defeats Kenneth McGhee with the Figure 4! Once again, Jack Brisco went over to the ring to coach his pupil who really took care of business here. When asked about his recent success, Landell credits Brisco and we see none of that Nature Boy arrogance we have seen in the past. When asked about it, Landell deferred to Brisco who just said there is a time to gloat and we have not reached it yet. JYD beats Albert Denny with the Big Thump At the interview desk we found out that this week at the Omni it will be JYD vs Lex Luger for the UWF Southern Title. As JYD is fired up about his title shot and how sick he is about Luger joining Ernie Ladd, Ladd, Luger and Baby Doll stroll out to the set. Jim Ross: Ummm, Mr. Ladd… this is not your scheduled time. Ernie Ladd: The Perfect Alliance doesn’t need a scheduled time. We do as what we want and when we want. Now let’s talk about this title match between the Total Package and the Complete Dog. I mean come on. Did we not just see what happens to JYD when he faces top competition. Ted Dibiase just left him face down in the center of the ring. Jack Brisco: Caused by a loaded glove I might add. Ernie Ladd: Let me finish. I mean this is exactly what I am trying to prevent. If my people are to rise up to the level we deserve, we have to earn it. JYD has not earned a title shot. This just giving people things out of pity will never help us achieve the greatness we deserve. Look at me, pure greatness! JYD: (Howling at the moon) If you are so great, why you keep getting kicked out of places like World Class. Ernie Ladd: Because they aren’t ready for me just like you aren’t ready for Lex Luger! Even though the situation was tense, peace prevailed as we will just have to wait until this week at the Omni to see two of the biggest names in the business go head to head. COMMERCIAL Devastation Inc (Barbarian and Haku) demolish the Dixie Dynamites At the interview desk, we hear Skandar Akbar talking about the NWA World Tag Team Match this week in the Omni between the Road Warriors and his Devastation Inc. Skandar Akbar: Last week we heard an interview from Animal and Hawk talking about how I turned them in causing them to lose their UWF tag titles because we were afraid of them. Weeeellll Road Warriors, you seem to be mistaken. We aren’t afraid of you one bit. Just look at the facts. It was Animal and Hawk who ran away from the UWF cause they were afraid of my men. It was Animal and Hawk who refused to give my men a World title shot which we only now got because the NWA Board of Directors demanded the Road Warriors face us in the Omni. Oh… one more thing. Road Warriors…. Shine Our Belts! Atlantis defeats Jesse James with a Top Rope Plancha This masked man is really endearing himself to the fans as the love his aerial tactics. Atlantis is loving the attention and is slapping hands with all the fans after his victory. COMMERCIAL Before our next match, Doom is interviewed about their upcoming #1 contender’s bout for the NWA National tag team titles against Ernie Ladd and his Fab Ones this week in the Omni. Hacksaw Reed: How many times am I going to have to beat Ernie Ladd or his men before he learns not to mess with the Hacksaw. Ron Simmons: Fab Ones, you have bitten off more than you can chew here. Just watch what we are about to do to Devil’s Duo and maybe, just maybe you can talk some sense into your manager and he can give you the night off in Atlanta! Doom (Simmons & Reed) vs Devils Duo This one was all Simmons and Reed as they are just too much for the Devil’s Duo. Even when Sword and Vines used some questionable tactics, Doom just overpowered them. All of a sudden, Ernie Ladd leads the Fab Ones out for a sneak attack just as Simmons hit a Spine Buster on Sword for the three count. Reed and Simmons saw the attack coming and were ready for it. Seeing this, Lane and Keirn actually jumped down off the apron and decided discretion was the better part of valor. The two reams end up just eyeing each other. Doom is daring the Fab Ones to come into the ring but Ladd calls for the retreat.

This house show series has been great fun. I agree with Gordi in that WWC is the perfect place to have babyfaces act like heels after they have been wronged. Rotten Ron Starr is in a perfect place for him. I think WWC is a great place for Owen to get some experience as he is out of view of most of Canadian TV. He can return at some point with some much needed training and become the star he is destined to be. Carlos Colon is to WWC as Jerry Lawler is to Memphis. I wonder how big each of them would have been in other territories.

While I find it interesting that Hot Property is leaving as you have spent so much time building them up, I am looking forward to seeing who is coming in because you do great things with some other guys we never thought to use. I also think it is great that you have two stars, in Dibiase and Orndorff, who can be the main event any night of the week. Right now, they are so different in the way you use them but in real life I think they are very similiar in their ability to do it all.

Gordy Thanks for catching my typos. That should have been T.A. and Lawler making the save. I agree with you Lowblow that it is too soon for Doom but Rain did such a nice job of building Simmons up with him wrecking the Varsity Rush Club and Sullivan that I put the team together. Simmons was also the Florida HW Champion in 1986 so he did have success right out of the box. Putting him with Reed takes some pressure off him and also allows him to take some falls to slow play Doon just a bit... but not too much

MAJOR UWF SHOWS FOR THE WEEK OF 7/28/86 ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI: KIEL AUDITORIUM Sean Royal beats Killer Tim Brooks with a top rope knee dive. US Express (Kendall Windham & Mike Rotundo) beat the Cuban Assassin & the Iranian Assassin when Windham hit the Iranian Assassin with the Running Bulldog. This match really got the fans in it as they were fuming with the Assassins for their Anti-American rhetoric and then the US Express came out to Bruce Springsteen and “Born in the USA” and the crowd was hooked. Robert Fuller with Ron Wright beat Grizzly Boone as Wright hit Boone with a cane when the ref was distracted by the Tennessee Stud. The crowd still got what they wanted as Boone got even with Wright as he hit him with a Giant Splash! UWF Tag Team Title Match: Jeff Jarrett and Brad Armstrong wrestled the Long Riders with Ron Wright who was now in a wheelchair after the Giant Splash from Boone, do a double count-out as the Long Riders found out that the champs have no problem mixing it up. Jerry “the King” Lawler beats Honky Tonk Man with a piledriver and then to the delight of the crowd steals HTM’s guitar and cracks him over the head with it. UWF Continental Title Match: Terry Taylor & Dick Murdoch with Ron Wright (still in his wheelchair) wrestle to a 20 minute draw that was more fists than headlocks. Magnum T.A defeats Ole Anderson with a belly to belly suplex. Ole tried every dirty trick in the book by T.A. was hellbent on revenge! Ivan Koloff hit the ring after the 3 count to try and help Ole but T.A. caught him with a belly to belly suplex for his troubles. NWA World Title Match: Kerry VonErich defeats Nikita Koloff with the Tornado Punch. This match featured big move after big move and even saw Kerry survive the Russian Sickle by getting his foot on the ropes. Ivan and Ole accompanied Nikita to the ring but after they got involved once, Magnum and Lawler. came out to even out the sides. While Nikita and Kerry battled it out in the ring, T.A. and Lawler took care of Ivan and Ole Shreveport, Louisiana: Municipal Memorial Auditorium Atlantis beats Action Jackson with a Top Rope Plancha Scott Doring beats the Demon (Brian Adams in a red mask) with a powerslam The Fab Ones beat Memphis Vice when Lane followed up a Big Boot by Ladd on Bryant with a Superkick Buddy Landell beat Bullet Bob Armstrong with a Figure 4 in a rather clean match by Landell Big Boss Man with Jim Cornette vs Dirty Dick Slater ended in a DDQ as they both went wild. In the end, we saw Bossman hold Slater as Cornette hit Slater with the tennis racket and then Bossman clocked Slater in the back of the head with a night stick. JYD beat the Warlord with Skandar Akbar with a Big Thump NWA World 6 Man Title Match: The Freebirds defeated Steve “Dr. Death” Williams & Doom as somehow Buddy Jack Roberts came off the top rope with some sort of slapjack and clocked Ron Simmons in the back of the head. This happened as Gordy and Dr. Death were brawling outside the ring and Hacksaw Reed had Michael Hayes up for the Gorilla Slam. Roberts had given Simmons a low blow while the ref was dealing with the chaos and then he climbed the top rope and pulled out the foreign object and went to work. UWF Southern Title Match: Lex Luger with Baby Doll and Ernie Ladd defeated Iceman with the Torture Rack. Between Ladd and Baby Doll, the ref had his hands full and Luger took a few liberties with the rules. Iceman did go for one Butt Bump but Baby Doll actually grabbed Luger as he came off the ropes to prevent any contact. NWA National Tag Title Match: The Rock n Roll Express defeated the Midnight Express with the Double Drop Kick on Condrey. Cornette had jumped up on the apron and was about to use the tennis racket when Dick Slater rushed to the ring all bandaged up and grabbed the racket and clobbered Cornette.

Yes NWAR has folded twice since I joined here. The site says it will be back. I think Spaldoni was the last hold out there

Hawaii is fun to book. I did that twice on the other site before it folded. That is where Polynesian Power was big and they feuded with Farmer Boy Ipo and LeRoy Brown who were the Samoan Connection. Russ Francis from the 49ers was actually big there

I have no problem with but I must add that Hawaii was a diffent animal with such loyalty to its own that mainlanders were often seen as the foreign heel. One of our traditional promotions might not work so well there.

Done

Very nicely booked card with some squash matches followed by a solid mid-card and then some must see matches. Go SBS! You have done more with Sugar, Kernodle and Kirchner then any of us and they are becoming major parts of this game. Awesome Twosome continues to move in line for a World Title shot! Nothing for Polynesian Power to hang their heads on this one! The fearsome Mulligan is the best Mulligan in my opinion. Bad News/KKB might be the match of the year in MACW! MACW has some real World title candidates with Dibiase and his stable

The first match set the tone for a great card. You could look at it as Spaldoni did with the success of Beefcake and Houston but I thought what is going to happen to Link with his mess up of headbutting Rogers. Nice of Wrestling 2 taking the fall but will Wrestling 3 wonder why he is taking advice from someone who can't win the big one? That is really funny as I swear I was writing this match by match and only glances at Spaldoni's first line and then we get to match three and all Hell breaks lose with Link and the Hotstuff group! Hopefully the Southern Boys and the Dirty White Boys will meet up in another promotion someday in this game as they are great 1990's Southern Feud material Is this finally the end of Adonis and Street? Not sure what I am hoping for. Loved Schults using the Spinning Toe Hold and then Adonis cashes in his "money in the bank" card! Perfect booking not to let that idea of a match anytime hang around to long as for fans to forget about it. The Road Warriors are great traveling champs right now and I wonder how the Sunday night dinner table discussion went when Fritz told Mike you have to take the fall!

7/26/1986 GULF COAST COLISEUM GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI (HOUR #2) The second hour begins with a video of the NWA U.S. title bout between Ted Dibiase and JYD where JYD seemed to be on a roll until Dibiase pulled the ref into the Dog. This gave Dibiase the time he needed to load up the black glove he was wearing and he knocked JYD into next week and gained the pin. JYD is at the interview area after the tape and is fuming about how Dibiase knows the only way he can beat him is to cheat! He goes on to explain that someday he will get another shot at Dibiase and he will take what is rightfully his. As JYD leaves the interview area, Cowboy Bill Watts comes out with a few big announcements: 1. The Road Warriors will be back to the UWF on August 2nd to defend there NWA World titles in the Omni in Atlanta, Georgia and their opponents will be Skandar Akbar’s team of Haku and the Barbarian! 2. The Freebirds will also be defending their NWA World 6 Man titles in the UWF and that match will take place this week against Steve “Dr. Death” Williams, Ron Simmons and Hacksaw Butch Reed! Ross shows us a quick tape of an interview from the Road Warriors. Hawk: Weeeeel, Skandar Akbar! Last time we were in the UWF, you had us stripped of our UWF titles! Why? Tell um Animal! Animal: Because you misfits knew then like you know now that you can’t beat us! Well one thing is for sure… We are going to beat every inch of you in the Omni. In the parking lot, in the locker room, in the stands. It don’t matter to us. You messed with our income. We lost money because you cried to Watts! Well know you are just going to simply cry! The Cuban & Iranian Assassins defeat the Memphis Vice These two are doing everything they can to antagonize the American fans from Flag Waving to singing their respected National Anthems. The end of the match saw the Cuban Assassin refuse to break the Castro sleeper after they got the victory. This caused the U.S. Express, Kendall Windham and Mike Rotundo, to hit the ring and make the save as the Assassins fled the ring. At the interview desk, the U.S. Express was all about love of America and that they will teach the Foreign Assassins a lesson this week in Kiel Auditorium. COMMERCIAL The Demon (Brian Adams in a red mask) crushes Mark Murray with a Power Slam Both Ross and Brisco express how scary an individual this Demon is as he is like 6’7 and 330 pounds of pure evil. Dirty Dick Slater defeats Lou Winston with the Figure 4 At the interview desk, Jim Ross is wondering where Jim Cornette was. Dick Slater: That’s a great question Jim. Last time I checked, he was my manager. The last time I saw him was in Jackson, Mississippi for my UWF Continental Title Match against Terry Taylor! Jim Ross: A match you lost I might add! All of a sudden Jim Cornette appears with Big Bubba Rogers. Jim Cornette: Well, guys I am sorry for being late tonight. I just finished a meeting with Mother’s lawyers and I thank you for taking the time to let everyone know that this week in Shreveport, the Greatest tag team in the World today, the Midnight Express, is going to take the NWA National Titles from those wimpy bandana-wearing losers, the Roc n Roll Express. Jim Ross: Well we had not even brought that up as we were talking about Dick Slater’s second loss to Terry Taylor. Jim Cornette: Funny you should say that as that is exactly what Mother’s lawyers had been talking to me about. Dick, I just wanted you to know that Cornette Enterprises has decided to issue you another contract. Cornette hands Slater a stack of papers which Slater quickly looks over? Dick Slater: Now what is this garbage. This contract is barely a quarter of my current salary. When I signed with you, it was because you offered me, the #1 free agent in the game, a contract that showed my current value. Jim Cornette: That’s right, current value and currently all you are showing me and Mother is that you are a loser! Slater grabs Cornette by the collar and it looks like Cornette’s eyes are going to fall out of his head in fear! CRACK! One night stick to the head by Big Bubba Rogers and Slater is a bloody mess. The bleeding is so bad, the TV puts a giant X across the screen to sensor it. Jim Cornette, once again full of cockiness, grabs the mic. Jim Cornette: As I said Dick Slater, you are a loser. Consider your contract null and void. You are fired! COMMERCIAL Steve “Dr. Death” Williams and Doom destroy 3 jobbers This was just to hype up their NWA 6 Man Title Shot against the Freebirds this week in Shreveport. Dr. Death reminds everyone that he and Terry Gordy still have some unfinished business and that there wouldn’t be any better way to get it then to take those titles. Simmons and Hacksaw Reed each take turns on the mic calling out the Freebirds and all three also let us know that Skandar Akbar is still on their minds and that he better be ready! COMMERCIAL Before our last match, Dick Slater comes to the interview desk with Terry Taylor. Taylor is angry at Cornette and let’s everyone know that his matches with Slater were really tough and could have gone either way and for Cornette and his mother to do what they just did was an outrage. Slater with his head bandaged up verbally attacks Big Bubba Rogers for being a coward and coming up behind him with a night stick. We find out it will be Slater and Rogers this week in Shreveport. The crowd begins to boo as Ron Wright comes out. Ron Wright: Boo Whoooo. This is ridiculous. All I am hearing about is Dick Slater got fired by Jim Cornette. What we should be talking about is Dick Murdoch. He has been on a roll ever sense the American Bash and is getting a title shot against you Terry Taylor this week in St. Louis. Hmmmm. I got a better idea, why wait. You say you are a champion of the people so why don’t you give these fans what they want. I think they would love to see that match now instead of waiting to St. Louis. Terry Taylor agrees with Wright and that he should give the fans what they want so he heads right to the ring. Impromptu UWF Continental Match: Terry Taylor vs Dick Murdoch with Ron Wright This was nothing more than a setup by Wright as he knew Taylor couldn’t let the fans down. Just a few minutes into the match, the Tennessee Stud, Ron Fuller hits the ring and it is a 2-1 beat down of Taylor as they try to soften him up for the match in St. Louis. From out of nowhere Dick Slater hits the ring and is throwing punches like a Wildman. Soon Taylor and Slater are in control of the ring and in just under 30 minutes Slater has gone from one of the biggest heels in the UWF to one of its most popular. COMMERCIAL Tonight’s show ends with an interview with the Perfect Alliance. (Ladd, Luger, Baby Doll and the Fab Ones) where Luger and Baby Doll hype up the UWF Southern Title Match against Iceman and the Fab Ones are looking right past Memphis Vice who they will meet in Shreveport and say they don’t care if the Midnight Express or the Rock n Roll Express come out of this week with the National Tag Belts because they are just so much better then both of them. Ernie Ladd: I shocked each and every one of you when I returned to the UWF. I shocked you when I signed the Fab Ones two weeks ago. I shocked you last week with a Big Boot to Iceman Parsons as Lex and Baby Doll came over to my team…. You have not seen anything yet. Ernie Ladd is getting readt to shock the world of rasslin!

MACW is a great read as always. Tiger Jeet swinging the sword and making Tony run away was cool. You know I am the biggest fan of Polynesian Power in this entire game but the might have bitten off more than they can chew with the Awesome Twosome. Great intro for Mark Lewin. Even though he is nearing the end, he was tough as nails. I loved him as the Purple Haze. Don Kernodle and KIrchner angle has some serious legs and is great for these two midcarders. Kernodle is one of the most underrated MACW guys in history as he and Sgt had some major battles with Jay Youngblood and RIcky Steamboat. Tough debut for DJ here and I can't tell which tag team, Hot Property or Polynesian Power is in more trouble I recently heard Jim Cornette talking on a podcast about how bad Paul Jones Army was but this version is great. Johnny Rich making a name for himself here in MACW and not hanging on the coattails of Wildfire is great and Mulligan is one big dude who would crush Valiant in real life. And here we go... Wildfire vs Sawyer. Nobody can resist this one!

And the twists and turns of the WCCW continue. I love the Adonis/Street angle with the winner getting a title shot anytime they want .....a la money in the bank. Those training videos , like Tojo and his men, in the 80's were awesome. I remember one with Tony Atlas and Kevin Sullivan. Terry telling Dory he was acting like Dad was cool.
