Nice show here. The highlight for me would have to have been the Windham/Savage match. I found myself wishing for the title change but with the ending, it could still happen. I also enjoyed the debut of the Blade Runners. To me, this marks the beginning of the gimmickly late 80's/early 90's that saw WCW and the WWF go head to head with all the glitz they could both muster as both moved away from the thought that wrestling was real to the idea that it was entertainment. Valentine seems to be a true "company guy" as he does whatever he is asked to. To me, he is one of the best ever. I completely understand the slow play of Hogan vs Flair. This two have been doing a dance now for almost 3 months and I wonder if there ever could be an end game. Both seem to need to be the champ or the #1 contender to work so I could see this going on for years like a Dory vs Jack thing. If it does, it would mean sell out after sell out for the WWF owners which would become a fun aspect of this project. Would love to see Andre or Brett Hart to get involved here as they could take some weight off of Hogan and Flair. Also glad that it was Nolan Ryan on the mound for the Astros as the Mets couldn't touch Mike Scott in 86 as he scuffed his way to being the best pitcher in baseball

Great after the Bash show. So many new angles getting under way and so many reaching new heights. My favorites include Bad News Brown vs JJ and KKB: This will be a war! Mulligan going after Oliver and Valiant. For some reason, I think Oliver may come out on top but this will be fun! Dibiase: Anything he does right now seems to turn to GOLD.... I could see him as the future of the NWA Idol vs Fuller: Two of the biggest names in Southern Wrastlin! MACW is on fire and a pleasure to read. You have been a great addition to this project!

Continued from before Owen is a nice fit as the Light Heavyweight Champion. Even though he is only 21, wrestlingdata.com had him winning 127 matches in 1986; granted working for Dad helps but historically, he is more than ready The Caribbean Express vs. Los Mercenarios: to me, the perfect WWC match as the brawl started before them match. I could see the fans going wild. I think Bigelow makes a great champion anywhere and the match with Hercules was fantastic. Benoit is a lot like Owen Hart in that he can do so much at such a young age but Invader 3 gives a nice local flare to the NWA Lightweight belt. Good choice here. The Invaders chasing Butch and Luke and the fans cheering them on was a perferct ending for this one. I could see this feud growing or ending so I am eager as what comes next here. Poor Rick Martel. He just keeps eating Sickles! As for the end, Colon vs any NWA Champ would work in WWC. You should use them more. I think the Road Warrios style would go over big also. Well the story line doesn;t change much for Colon and Abbie in each match, historically anyway, it always works! A Great Main Event. Was wondering what the bell time was here and the ticket price as 16 huge matches was an awesome display of not only WWC but the entire NWA. Thanks for doing som much work here and I really enjoyed it.

And the Bash continues to roll on in a major way! Nice start for Victor the Bodyguard Boyd and Crusher would be a perct fit for WCCC as they are violent times 10. I will admit that I know little of TOny St. Clair but he is becoming a major brawler here in two promotions of late. Tiger Jeet is also a nice fit for WCCW here. Idol makes his mark as a big heel here in WCCW and it will be interesting to see how this plays out with his babyface run in MACW. Idol is one of those guys who can go either way. Funks vs VonErichs in the middle of the card shows you how great this show was. Tamba and LeDuc would be one of the highlights for me. YOu mentioned his quickness... I have not seen many of his matches. Was he noted for this? Will finish later as I have to go out

NIce card here. SST vs the Road Warriors would be the highlight for me

you got it!

A lot of moving pieces here between WCCW and the UWF WCCW gets Eddie Gilbert Missy Hyatt John Tatum Jack Victory (Johnny Valiant will also be returning) Road Warriors (WCCW will take over their booking on Sept.1 as Lutte gets #1 choice until then) Once they lose their titles, WCCW will be their home territory Fred Ottman Killer Khan Paul Ellering UWF gets: Ernie Ladd Koko Ware Brickhouse Brown Iceman Parsons Stan Lane Steve Keirn Jimmy Garvin Eric Embry

Another nice job by Lutte showcasing all the talent in the NWA. I wonder if even Bruno was able to keep the OMG in check. The Sheepherders vs the Killer Bee's would have been interesting with their two totally opposite styles.

To complete the jobber packs, UWF releases Mike George and adds Lou WInston, Jerry Bryant and Sean Royal

Done

I would start with 60 minutes. It took me awhile to get the hang of this and it was taking along time to write my shows in the beginning. Now it is much easier and I go faster.

Buzz Sawyer is one of those underrated guys who people only know of with the TOmmy Rich feud but if you watch his videos he was a pretty good powerhouse wrestler.

done

With the moves to Portland, UWF has some roster space and I am going to make two jobber packs 1. Buck Zumhoff, Scott Doring, Rocky Iaukea 2. Tyree Pride, Jeff Sword and Doug Vines

UWF would Abbie and Mil on July 19 and 21

LOUISIANA SUPERDOME NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA JULY 4, 1986 (Posted here as well as the UWF thread) Welcome everyone to the Great American Bash from the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am Jim Ross along with my partner Cowboy Bill Watts and this is the one we have all been waiting for. Bill Watts: That’s right Jim. This wrestling spectacular has it all. Title matches, grudge matches, a Loser Leave Town Match and the big one, the NWA World Title Match between Nikita Koloff and Magnum T.A. Jim Ross: We have such a busy night with 9 huge matches so let’s get to the ring. Loser Leave Town Match: Exotic Adrian Street & Adorable Adrian Adonis with Miss Linda vs Cowboy Ron Bass & Black Bart A big part of the spectacle of this match was the entrance of both teams. The Exotic Ones strutted out with Miss. Linda spraying the perfume all over the place while the Long Riders came out in their cowboy gear but they were also dragging a big vat of pig slop! From the very beginning we knew this was going to be a wild one. After a few wild momentum changes we see Adorable Adrian Adonis catch Black Bart in the Sleeper and it looks like the end for the cowboys but Ron Bass makes the save and we go Bonzo Gonzo for a few minutes. This is where the ref lost control and Ron Bass clobbered Street with the branding iron for the 1…2…3. As Adonis goes over to see how Exotic Adrian Street is doing. WHAM! Adonis clobbers Street with a huge right hand and then slaps on the Good Night Irene. When Street is completely out, Adonis drags the Exotic One out of the ring and dumps him in the big vat of pig slop. He then turns to Miss. Linda and proceeds to dump her right on top of Street. As the Long Riders are having a good laugh at all of this the microphone picks up Adrian Adonis’ comments. Adrian Adonis: If I have to listen to Exotic Adrian say that imitation is the biggest form of flattery one more time, he is going back to England in something much worse than pig slop. I am nothing like him… I don’t lose. Jim Ross: Well, I must admit that I will miss seeing the show of Exotic Adrian Street and Adorable Adonis but it looks like their time as a tag team has ended just like their stint in the UWF. Honky Tonk Man vs Kendall Windham The crowd is furious from the get go Honky Tonk Man is coming to the ring hollering about how once again, Jerry Lawler is a cowardly no-show. Kendall gives it his all but Honky Tonk is firing every dirty trick he knows. After about the third blatant smash with a foreign object, HTM caught Windham with the Shake Rattle & Roll for the win. HTM rushes out of the ring and gets his guitar and comes back after Windham. It looks like HTM is about to crack Windham like he had done just a few weeks ago. All of a sudden, the crowd explodes as Jerry Lawler rushes to the ring. Jim Ross: Aw bah Gawd… It’s Jerry “the King” Lawler. Folks business is about to pick up. Lawler is about to get even for everything HTM said over the past month. Lawler comes up from behind HTM and rips the guitar out of his hand. HTM acts like he has seen a ghost and back peddles to the corner. Lawler follows him and winds up with the guitar! CRACK! Lawler slams the guitar into HTM’s head and it breaks into a thousand pieces. The crowd explodes as Lawler simply turns around and walks out of the Superdome. Dick Murdoch with Ron Wright vs Junkyard Dog A match where we see two old tag team partners showing some real hatred for one another. At the root of the problem is Ron Wright who has brought his brand of evil to the UWF where he is spewing nonsense about the Unchristians being at the root of wrestling’s evil. Murdoch has bought into this while JYD just sees this as being pure hatred to anyone who is not like Ron Wright. The Dog had enough of Murdoch and Wright’s feelings of superiority and has returned from Texas to help the Armstrong’s in their battle against Wright’s Army. Revenge was hard-coming in this one as Murdoch is like a bull in a china closet but JYD has no fear of mixing it up. As Jim Ross said, this one was a real slobberknocker that saw JYD survive a good ol’ fashion beating to somehow connect with his Big Thump for the win. Both men left this one a bloody mess and you can tell that the war between Wright’s men and the do-gooders of the UWF is far from over. Leather Strap Match: Ron Fuller “The Tennessee Stud” with Ron Wright vs “The Bullet” Bob Armstrong The rules are simple and few here is this one. Fuller and Armstrong are tied together by a leather strap and to win you have to drag your opponent to all 4 corners of the ring. Stud and Armstrong just beat the heck out of each other in this one and to the delight of the crowd, the Bullet seems to be getting the best of the Stud until all of a sudden the Long Riders appear and enter the ring and really go to town on Armstrong. In fact, at one point they tossed him over the top rope and were literally hanging the Bullet by the leather strap. The ref was powerless here in this no DQ match. Once they dragged Armstrong back into the ring, it was easy pickens for the Stud as he simply dragged him around to the 4 corners and claimed victory. After the match, the Stud embraced the Long Riders (Bass & Bart) as Jim Ross wonders what devilish deeds Ron Wright has just done now! UWF Southern Title Match: Lex Luger with Baby Doll vs “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt with Tommy Rich as the Special Guest Referee This is the battle of opposites here. Gilbert is sneaky but has some wrestling skill while Luger is full speed ahead with pure power. Baby Doll does a nice job of neutralizing Missy as she does not dare get involved or suffer the wrath of the one some have called Andrea the Giant. Gilbert is having difficulty getting anything going, as any time he decides to use some dirty tactics, Tommy Rich puts him is his place. Jim Ross: Revenge is a dish better served cold. Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert’s dastardly deeds saw Hyatt clobbered Rich with a loaded purse causing Rich to lose a Loser-Leave Town Match to Gilbert at the Memorial Day Bash but it seems like Cowboy Bill Watts has turned the tide on Gilbert here tonight. He has given Wildfire a one night referee license and if Gilbert doesn’t win, Missy Hyatt will be forced out of the UWF. Eventually, Gilbert’s luck runs out as Luger catches him in the Torture Rack. Missy decides that it is now or never and jumps up on the apron with the purse poised to hit Luger. Baby Doll is in hot pursuit to protect her man! Tommy Rich is able to intervene before Missy hits her target and he rips the purse from her hands. Rich now has the bag and looks at everyone involved… and turns toward Luger and Baby Doll. Jim Ross: Oh no! What has that jezebel Missy Hyatt done. Has she used her Daddy’s money from his chain of hotels to pay off Tommy Rich? Tommy Rich hands over the bag to … WHAM! Jim Ross: Oh thank Gawd! There is justice in the world. Tommy Rich has given the loaded purse to Baby Doll as she has knocked Missy Hyatt into next week! Wildfire now turns his attention back to Gilbert who is still stuck in the Torture Rack. Gilbert begins to frantically wave his arms and he has no choice but to submit! Jim Ross: Lex Luger is still the UWF Southern Champion and Missy Hyatt has to take her loaded purse and loaded top out of the UWF. I wonder what will Eddie Gilbert do? NWA National Tag Team Title Match: Th Rock n Roll Express vs The Hollywood Blondes (Landell & Tatum) with Luscious Johnny Valiant A match where everybody does their job well. The Hollywood Blondes and Luscious Johnny bring some serious heat on their way to the ring as the antagonize each and every fan while the Rock n Roll Express get the fans dancing in the aisles as they pomp everyone up with their entrance. Tatum does a nice job of playing the cowardly heel as Gibson does a nice job of not caring about Tatum’s feelings and really gives it to him. Luscious Johnny is dastardly here and gives the Blondes the advantage and Landell shows he is the real talent of the Blondes. Landell and Tatum use Morton for what he does best which is to play the face in peril. Morton makes his comeback and tags in Gibson and we go bonzo-gonzo with all 4 men in the ring and the Rock n Roll Express connect with the double dropkick on Tatum and they successfully defend their title. A script that has been done over and over again but the fans love it so we keep using it! UWF CONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: “Dirty” Dick Slater with Jim Cornette vs Terry Taylor Cornette comes out riding on his high horse as he grabs the microphone to introduce his Continental Champ which really brings the heat down on Slater and makes Taylor even more popular then ever in a place where he is basically King. Taylor starts quick but this one has a lot of momentum changes. Slater is not only dirty but he is as tough as they come. He was often willing to take a blow here to get in one of his own. In the end, Slater seems to have Taylor right where he wants him as he connected with three left handed jabs and he hit the ropes for a clothesline! Wham! Terry Taylor ducked under the clothesline and hit the ropes himself connecting with a big flying forearm. A quick pin and it was over. Jim Cornette was in shock as it happened so quickly. As Terry Taylor was handed the belt, Jim Ross was hyping up the fact that we had a new UWF Continental Champ. UWF TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Brad Armstrong & Jeff Jarrett vs Doom vs the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette vs Devastation Inc. with Skandar Akbar The rules here are simply. Tag whoever you want and whichever team gains the victory by pin or submission is the new UWF Tag team champions. It sounded simple enough but it became apparent early that no matter how much damage you inflicted on any of the teams, there was always someone ready to jump in a make the save. The only way this was going to end was in a moment of chaos and chaos it was! Ron Simmons had just hit a monster football tackle on Brad Armstrong but he knew that if he went for the cover, someone would just come in and break it up so instead he goes over to the Barbarian and starts mocking him. Dr. Death simply tags Ron Simmons and enters the ring as the new legal man. Simmons stunned and with nothing else to do is now in an all-out brawl with the Barbarian. Dr. Death rushes over and hits Jeff Jarrett with a huge shot to prevent him from making a save as he goes for the pin on Armstrong who is still hurt. Wham! Beautiful Bobby Eaton breaks this one up with an Alabama Jammer to the back of Dr. Death’s head. Now everyone just decides it is time to brawl and we got the chaos we needed to find a winner. Bobby sees that both Dr. Death and Armstrong, the two legal men in the ring, are hurt so he decides to drag Armstrong over to his corner where Condrey reaches down and tags himself in. Condrey goes for the pin on Dr. Death… Wham… Reed comes off the top rope with a spear to the ribs and Condrey’s tag attempt has been broken up. Wham… Armstrong is back and hit a Russian Leg Sweep on the Reed. Wham Dr. Death has recovered enough and Press Slammed Armstrong right over the top rope but somehow, Jarrett was able to reach over and touch Dr. Death’s shoulder and become the legal man. The only person who saw this was the referee as Dr. Death had no idea what had happened. Dr. Death goes over and covers Condrey who is still shaken up from Reed’s blow. Cornette jumps up on the apron waving the tennis racket to break up the pin and the ref falls for it and is over yelling at Cornette. 1…2…3. Jim Ross: Wait a minute, Dr. Death has just pinned Condrey for the 3 count but the person who made the three count was …. Jeff Jarrett? What is going on here? Jarrett had just completely tricked Dr. Death and now Williams is jumping around the ring thinking he and the Barbarian are the new champs. As Condrey staggers to his feet thinking he had just been pinned… Wham An inverted Russian Leg Sweep by Jarrett on Condrey and now another cover! 1…2…3. Jeff Jarrett has just pinned Dennis Condrey and Jarrett and Armstrong are the new UWF Tag Team Champions. After the match is over, Devastation Inc. is the last team in the ring as Akbar is screaming at Dr. Death about how stupid could he be to be outsmarted by a kid! After this goes on for a minute or two, Akbar pushes Williams. Williams shows some restraint but you can tell his patience is wearing thin. Smack! Akbar smacks Dr. Death across the face! Dr. Death cannot take it any longer and shoves Akbar to the ground! The fans go wild but it is short lived as Haku rushed to the ring and now we have the brawl but the numbers game begins to get to Williams as it is the Barbarian and Haku in a 2-1 attack. Rushing back out to the ring are Ron Simmons and Hacksaw Reed and they give it pretty good to Akbar’s crew. In the end we see a handshake from Doom and Dr. Death as the crowd is loving this alliance of former football players! WORLD TITLE MATCH: Nikita Koloff vs Magnum T.A. This is the one everybody has been waiting for. The two biggest names in the UWF go head to head for the belt. Jim Ross notes that this task is going to be monumental for T.A. as Nikita is accompanied to the ring by Uncle Ivan. In the first few minutes of the match, both wrestlers go for their finishers but do not connect as T.A. ducked under the Russian Sickle and Nikita grabbed the ropes on an Irish Whip by T.A. who was setting up the Belly to Belly. Uncle Ivan gets involved with a trip and Nikita now gets a few minutes on top but he was never able to hit the big one. With the crowd really behind him, T.A. makes the come back and gains the momentum. After an atomic drop, Magnum connects with the Belly to Belly Suplex but before the ref can make the three count Ivan jumps up on the apron and the ref goes to warn him to get down. Jim Ross: Ah bawh Gawd, what’s this? As the ref was admonishing Ivan, the Russian Assassin rushed to the ring and climbed to the top rope and came flying off with a knee drop right to the back of T.A.’s head and then he dragged Nikita on top of Magnum. The ref turned around just after the Assassin rolled out of the ring. The ref was unsure what just happened but shrugged his shoulders and completed the three-count as Nikita defeated Magnum T.A. Nikita, Ivan and the Russian Assassin celebrate the win as T.A. gets to one knee and tries to clear the cobwebs from his head. As the evil trio begins to make their way from the ring, T.A. reaches out with a swipe at the Assassin and actually rips off his mask. Jim Ross: I can’t believe what I have just seen… the Russian Assassin is … Ole Anderson!

LOUISIANA SUPERDOME NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA JULY 4, 1986 Welcome everyone to the Great American Bash from the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am Jim Ross along with my partner Cowboy Bill Watts and this is the one we have all been waiting for. Bill Watts: That’s right Jim. This wrestling spectacular has it all. Title matches, grudge matches, a Loser Leave Town Match and the big one, the NWA World Title Match between Nikita Koloff and Magnum T.A. Jim Ross: We have such a busy night with 9 huge matches so let’s get to the ring. Loser Leave Town Match: Exotic Adrian Street & Adorable Adrian Adonis with Miss Linda vs Cowboy Ron Bass & Black Bart A big part of the spectacle of this match was the entrance of both teams. The Exotic Ones strutted out with Miss. Linda spraying the perfume all over the place while the Long Riders came out in their cowboy gear but they were also dragging a big vat of pig slop! From the very beginning we knew this was going to be a wild one. After a few wild momentum changes we see Adorable Adrian Adonis catch Black Bart in the Sleeper and it looks like the end for the cowboys but Ron Bass makes the save and we go Bonzo Gonzo for a few minutes. This is where the ref lost control and Ron Bass clobbered Street with the branding iron for the 1…2…3. As Adonis goes over to see how Exotic Adrian Street is doing. WHAM! Adonis clobbers Street with a huge right hand and then slaps on the Good Night Irene. When Street is completely out, Adonis drags the Exotic One out of the ring and dumps him in the big vat of pig slop. He then turns to Miss. Linda and proceeds to dump her right on top of Street. As the Long Riders are having a good laugh at all of this the microphone picks up Adrian Adonis’ comments. Adrian Adonis: If I have to listen to Exotic Adrian say that imitation is the biggest form of flattery one more time, he is going back to England in something much worse than pig slop. I am nothing like him… I don’t lose. Jim Ross: Well, I must admit that I will miss seeing the show of Exotic Adrian Street and Adorable Adonis but it looks like their time as a tag team has ended just like their stint in the UWF. Honky Tonk Man vs Kendall Windham The crowd is furious from the get go Honky Tonk Man is coming to the ring hollering about how once again, Jerry Lawler is a cowardly no-show. Kendall gives it his all but Honky Tonk is firing every dirty trick he knows. After about the third blatant smash with a foreign object, HTM caught Windham with the Shake Rattle & Roll for the win. HTM rushes out of the ring and gets his guitar and comes back after Windham. It looks like HTM is about to crack Windham like he had done just a few weeks ago. All of a sudden, the crowd explodes as Jerry Lawler rushes to the ring. Jim Ross: Aw bah Gawd… It’s Jerry “the King” Lawler. Folks business is about to pick up. Lawler is about to get even for everything HTM said over the past month. Lawler comes up from behind HTM and rips the guitar out of his hand. HTM acts like he has seen a ghost and back peddles to the corner. Lawler follows him and winds up with the guitar! CRACK! Lawler slams the guitar into HTM’s head and it breaks into a thousand pieces. The crowd explodes as Lawler simply turns around and walks out of the Superdome. Dick Murdoch with Ron Wright vs Junkyard Dog A match where we see two old tag team partners showing some real hatred for one another. At the root of the problem is Ron Wright who has brought his brand of evil to the UWF where he is spewing nonsense about the Unchristians being at the root of wrestling’s evil. Murdoch has bought into this while JYD just sees this as being pure hatred to anyone who is not like Ron Wright. The Dog had enough of Murdoch and Wright’s feelings of superiority and has returned from Texas to help the Armstrong’s in their battle against Wright’s Army. Revenge was hard-coming in this one as Murdoch is like a bull in a china closet but JYD has no fear of mixing it up. As Jim Ross said, this one was a real slobberknocker that saw JYD survive a good ol’ fashion beating to somehow connect with his Big Thump for the win. Both men left this one a bloody mess and you can tell that the war between Wright’s men and the do-gooders of the UWF is far from over. Leather Strap Match: Ron Fuller “The Tennessee Stud” with Ron Wright vs “The Bullet” Bob Armstrong The rules are simple and few here is this one. Fuller and Armstrong are tied together by a leather strap and to win you have to drag your opponent to all 4 corners of the ring. Stud and Armstrong just beat the heck out of each other in this one and to the delight of the crowd, the Bullet seems to be getting the best of the Stud until all of a sudden the Long Riders appear and enter the ring and really go to town on Armstrong. In fact, at one point they tossed him over the top rope and were literally hanging the Bullet by the leather strap. The ref was powerless here in this no DQ match. Once they dragged Armstrong back into the ring, it was easy pickens for the Stud as he simply dragged him around to the 4 corners and claimed victory. After the match, the Stud embraced the Long Riders (Bass & Bart) as Jim Ross wonders what devilish deeds Ron Wright has just done now! UWF Southern Title Match: Lex Luger with Baby Doll vs “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt with Tommy Rich as the Special Guest Referee This is the battle of opposites here. Gilbert is sneaky but has some wrestling skill while Luger is full speed ahead with pure power. Baby Doll does a nice job of neutralizing Missy as she does not dare get involved or suffer the wrath of the one some have called Andrea the Giant. Gilbert is having difficulty getting anything going, as any time he decides to use some dirty tactics, Tommy Rich puts him is his place. Jim Ross: Revenge is a dish better served cold. Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert’s dastardly deeds saw Hyatt clobbered Rich with a loaded purse causing Rich to lose a Loser-Leave Town Match to Gilbert at the Memorial Day Bash but it seems like Cowboy Bill Watts has turned the tide on Gilbert here tonight. He has given Wildfire a one night referee license and if Gilbert doesn’t win, Missy Hyatt will be forced out of the UWF. Eventually, Gilbert’s luck runs out as Luger catches him in the Torture Rack. Missy decides that it is now or never and jumps up on the apron with the purse poised to hit Luger. Baby Doll is in hot pursuit to protect her man! Tommy Rich is able to intervene before Missy hits her target and he rips the purse from her hands. Rich now has the bag and looks at everyone involved… and turns toward Luger and Baby Doll.

Wildfire now turns his attention back to Gilbert who is still stuck in the Torture Rack. Gilbert begins to frantically wave his arms and he has no choice but to submit! Jim Ross: Lex Luger is still the UWF Southern Champion and Missy Hyatt has to take her loaded purse and loaded top out of the UWF. I wonder what will Eddie Gilbert do? NWA National Tag Team Title Match: Th Rock n Roll Express vs The Hollywood Blondes (Landell & Tatum) with Luscious Johnny Valiant A match where everybody does their job well. The Hollywood Blondes and Luscious Johnny bring some serious heat on their way to the ring as the antagonize each and every fan while the Rock n Roll Express get the fans dancing in the aisles as they pomp everyone up with their entrance. Tatum does a nice job of playing the cowardly heel as Gibson does a nice job of not caring about Tatum’s feelings and really gives it to him. Luscious Johnny is dastardly here and gives the Blondes the advantage and Landell shows he is the real talent of the Blondes. Landell and Tatum use Morton for what he does best which is to play the face in peril. Morton makes his comeback and tags in Gibson and we go bonzo-gonzo with all 4 men in the ring and the Rock n Roll Express connect with the double dropkick on Tatum and they successfully defend their title.

Cornette jumps up on the apron waving the tennis racket to break up the pin and the ref falls for it and is over yelling at Cornette. 1…2…3. Jim Ross: Wait a minute, Dr. Death has just pinned Condrey for the 3 count but the person who made the three count was …. Jeff Jarrett? What is going on here? Jarrett had just completely tricked Dr. Death and now Williams is jumping around the ring thinking he and the Barbarian are the new champs. As Condrey staggers to his feet thinking he had just been pinned… Wham An inverted Russian Leg Sweep by Jarrett on Condrey and now another cover! 1…2…3. Jeff Jarrett has just pinned Dennis Condrey and Jarrett and Armstrong are the new UWF Tag Team Champions. After the match is over, Devastation Inc. is the last team in the ring as Akbar is screaming at Dr. Death about how stupid could he be to be outsmarted by a kid! After this goes on for a minute or two, Akbar pushes Williams. Williams shows some restraint but you can tell his patience is wearing thin. Smack! Akbar smacks Dr. Death across the face! Dr. Death cannot take it any longer and shoves Akbar to the ground!

Rushing back out to the ring are Ron Simmons and Hacksaw Reed and they give it pretty good to Akbar’s crew. In the end we see a handshake from Doom and Dr. Death as the crowd is loving this alliance of former football players! WORLD TITLE MATCH: Nikita Koloff vs Magnum T.A. This is the one everybody has been waiting for. The two biggest names in the UWF go head to head for the belt.

As the ref was admonishing Ivan, the Russian Assassin rushed to the ring and climbed to the top rope and came flying off with a knee drop right to the back of T.A.’s head and then he dragged Nikita on top of Magnum. The ref turned around just after the Assassin rolled out of the ring. The ref was unsure what just happened but shrugged his shoulders and completed the three-count as Nikita defeated Magnum T.A. Nikita, Ivan and the Russian Assassin celebrate the win as T.A. gets to one knee and tries to clear the cobwebs from his head. As the evil trio begins to make their way from the ring, T.A. reaches out with a swipe at the Assassin and actually rips off his mask. Jim Ross: I can’t believe what I have just seen… the Russian Assassin is … Ole Anderson!

All good with Art Crews. I was actually wondering that myself as I wrote it as I wasn't sure of the pecking order of the NWA titles. I do think it will help his career far more than Snuka who doesn't need a belt to get over at all.

Love how you said Dutch and Jaggers brawled around the ring avoiding foreign objects. Most times we say that someone used a foreign object becasue it is somewhat uncommon but not in Puerto Rico! It is uncommon when they don't

Great booking here Love how the crowd gets what they want in the opener and I hope that Cooley continues to get a big shot here in MACW. He is one of those underrated Southern promotion guys that you use so well. I figured Oliver 's who to break ship with Paul Jones but never thought Mulligan was going to come out. This is a perfect fit for him and again this is a name that was big time in the NWA in the none of us have done much with. Now we can see him in a nive feud with Oliver. Big surprises are the key to a major show as some angles are ending while others just start. GREAT SHOCKER! Again, nice booking in third match. A major brawl where St. Clair uses the chair for the DQ. Even though the heels get the win, the crowd is excited to see a chair shot by the babyface. I am writing this review after I read each match and I forgot something up top about a major show. Sometimes angels continue.... hence Wildfire and Dr. Tom plus the fans get what they really want... to see Riddle knocked into next week. The Caspian Empire + Kernodle do a great job of playing the anti-American heels as they dominate on tv to make them look strong but loose the big ones! And another segment starts: KKB vs Bad News Brown. He is perfect here as it is truly believeable that he would just walk out with the money and that it is going to take one hell of a man to come and get it from him Nice use of the AWA here. This talent sharing was kind of what USA Wrestling tried to do to combat the WWF in the 80's but the egos were too strong and know we are left with what we have today. To bad we were not in charge then. Nice brawl with Dusty and Hansen. Like that the Awesome Twosome comes out and takes care of business as I have high hopes for them. Not sure I like a WWF midcarder with little national fame, Bull Ganter, can chase Rude and Fernandez from the ring. Race and Orndorff doesn't disappoint. It must have taking some serious guts in the locker room when you had to tell Harley that he was doing the job but Orndorff is over like crazy now! I figured Haku was going to get involved somewhere and this was a nice place. A Haku-Snuka war doesn't need a belt to sell. That one would be great all by itself. Art Crews kind of needs a championship to get help him get over. As a member of the NWA, not sure though that he deserves a title as important as the national title. That kind of makes Art Crews the #2 man in the NWA. Nikita taken to the limit by Idol is what the fans would have wanted to see! Nice showcase here. Is Fuller siding with the Russians or just so anti Idol? We will just have to wait and see. Dibiase vs Hacksaw might be the best feud that the entire NWA could put on and it go on and on and on each and every night! Great way to end your Great American Bash! The NWA is on fire and this card just proved it.

WCCW is on fire after that one! Brody causes complete havoc in the ring while Dibiase is causing havoc from 1,000 miles away but the Freebirds and Hart might just have outsmarted all of them. Can Dusty fight off this many enemies? Hw might need more then Mr. Olympia and a sneaky Brody. They were right in the bar not to trust Brody but it gave them a shot at the win. Also, all of the subtle little things like Gordy hitting Kevin VonErich with the Oriental Spike during the Lumberjack Match just sets up the future so nicely. Perfect

Great lead up to the Bash. Love the push the Awesome Twosome is getting. Wondering the outcome of the Oliver/Paul Jones angle. It could go so many ways. You have really developed Rock Riddle into a nice arrogant manager. Pritchard/Wildfire is another feud with so many options. This is one of the things that makes MACW a fun read.

To fill out UWF's roster, I will add Action Jackson to a jobber pack Mean Mke Miller Fidel Sierra Grizzly Boone and Jack Brisco from the retirement list to act as a part time announcer, mentor/manager

Sorry about that guys. I missed Wayne Bloom and did not know Johnny Ace was John Laurinatus. If everyone good check the free agent list and see I have missed anything else so I can fix it. Also, if you know someone should be on the list and is not, I will add them. Thanks

I got all. I will keep checking to keep up with this. No problem Awesome Miz. Get your roster set. I will put the others into free agency.
