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.

Very interesting where Rick Martel goes from here. With this loss, he might fall down the pecking order a bit. Again Lutte continues to be the showcase of the NWA and it is really fun to see who will face who next.

7/26/1986 GULF COAST COLISEUM: GULFPORT, MISSISSIPPI (HOUR #1) The show opens with a video from the Great American Bash from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas where Kerry VonErich hit Nikita Koloff with a Tornado Punch and claimed the victory and the NWA World Title. Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from the Gulf Coast Coliseum in Gulfport, Mississippi. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is once again wrestling legend Jack Brisco. Well fans, you just saw it. We have a new NWA World Champion as Kerry VonErich defeated Nikita Koloff! Ivan and Nikita Koloff along with Ole Anderson come to the interview area. Ivan Koloff: Well Jim Ross, you just saw it. Nikita Koloff had the World Title taken from him by the corrupt American Buracracy! We all know that Kerry VonErich cannot beat Nikita Koloff. Jack Brisco: I think we all just saw something to the contrary! Ole Anderson: Listen up Brisco. You wonder why I have sided with Ivan and Nikita Koloff. Well you just saw it. You slip a few extra dollars in the Americans pocket and they will do anything. That referee might have made the fastest 3 count in history and you know why? Daddy Fritz! Well this week in Kiel Auditorium, Nikita Koloff will get his rematch and I promise you that outside of Texas, Nikita Koloff is going to win the NWA title back! Jim Ross: You might have bigger problems in St. Louis as you will be facing Magnum T.A. and after what you did to him at the Great American Bash, I know he will be looking for revenge Ole Anderson: Revenge? Are you kidding me. I have been in this business a long time and a lot of people better then Magnum T.A had a bone to pick with me but they all soon found out that I am the one around here who breaks the bones. Magnum T.A. is nothing more than a pimple on my you know what! Nikita gives one of his monster flexes as the three head off as both Ross and Brisco agree they would not want to be Kerry VonErich this week in St. Louis. Match: Sean Royal beats Doug Garrett with the Top Rope Flying Knee Drop COMMERCIAL Match: Buddy Landell defeats Mike Miller with the Figure 4! Two strange things happened here. First, Jack Brisco went to ringside during the match and gave Buddy Landell some advice when Landell went to slap on the Figure 4 and second, with Mean Mike Miller using some questionable tactics, Buddy Landell actual heard a smattering of applause. When Jim Ross asked Jack about going over to the ring, Brisco simply said that that Landell has a lot of talent and was just giving him some advice about a little tweak in the angle of the Figure 4! Jim Ross wanted to know if that mean that he was Landell’s manager. Brisco replied that he was more of a coach then a manager. Landell wanted Brisco’s advice on what he should do about the applause he just heard. Jack Brisco: Nothing at all! Just do your job. Never care about the fans. I was the same wrestler wherever I went. I was the same World Champion in each territory. When I went to Florida, the fans loved me. When I went to Oklahoma, they loved me. In Texas and the Carolinas they often hated me. I was the same but they were different. Be the same star whether you wrestle Mean Mike Miller or Bullet Bob Armstrong. There is a time to wrestle and there is a time to brawl. Let your opponent decide which Buddy they see. Oh, just so you know, there is a time to strut around and be the Nature Boy… When you Win! Grizzly Boone defeats Killer Tim Brooks with the Giant Splash! During the match, we find out that Kiel Auditorium seems to be the place for revenge this week as Grizzly Boone is taking on the Tennessee Stud, Ron Fuller COMMERCIAL Iceman King Parsons beats Ken Raper with the Butt Bump What a difference a week makes as the sound of “We Are Family” brings big time cheers. That is what being on the wrong side of Ernie Ladd will do for you. At the interview desk, Iceman apologized for once siding with Ladd and explained that it was because all he really wanted to do was help his people. He now understands that the only person Ladd wants to help is himself. Parsons then turns to Lex Luger who he will wrestle this week in Shreveport for the UWF Southern Title. Iceman reminds us that if it wasn’t for Ladd last week that he would have beaten Luger so this week he is real confident that he will become the champ! The UWF tag team champions, Jeff Jarrett and Brad Armstrong, come out to hype up their title defense against the Long Riders this week in St. Louis when out comes Ron Wright. Ron Wright: I would tell you two that you better get up nice and early on Sunday morning and get to church and start praying that you survive this week but then I remember you’re two Daddies didn’t raise you to be Christians. They raised you to be the two spoiled heathen brats you are today. Well when Ron Bass and Black Bart are done with you, you will start praying. Praying that the pain goes away! Oh, one more thing. Why wait till Shreveport? Jim Ross: Look out! Brad and JJ heed the warning and duck at the last possible second as Bart and Bass come out swinging their branding irons. A quick kick to the gut on both Long Riders followed by Russian Legsweeps on both Bass and Bart has the Champions looking good. With the Long Riders laid out, Brad and JJ turn to Wright who is in shock and takes a few back peddles before turning to run to the locker room. Brad Armstrong: No place to run this week in Shreveport! Jeff Jarrett: And he complains about how are fathers raised us! Wright was raised plain yellow Atlantis defeats Lucas Charlie with a Top Rope Plancha During the match, Ross hypes up the victory by Atlantis and Mil Mascaras victory over the Devil’s Duo in Jackson, Mississippi. After Atlantis’ victory tonight, the Devil’s Duo came out to attack the masked Atlantis but he beat them to it. As Jeff Sword and Doug Vines were still on the floor, Atlantis jumped up on the middle of the top rope and launched himself with a flying cross body block that took out both of his enemies. Atlantis left the Devil’s Duo on the floor as he headed to the locker room to the delight of the fans who were amazed at his aerial tactics. COMMERCIAL On his way to the ring, Honk Tonk Man stops at the interview desk carrying one of his guitars. HTM: Finally! It has taken months but Jerry Lawler has finally signed the contract to face me this week in St. Louis! The only time that coward has come near me is when he snuck up on me at the Great American Bash and broke my own guitar over my head. Well guess what Lawler. I got many guitars and this one is going to find your skull in Kiel Auditorium. Honky Tonk Man defeated Verlon Biggs with the Shake Rattle and Roll. Just as HTM went for the pin, Jerry “the King” Lawler” strutted out and grabbed HTM’s guitar and went over to the stands and gave it to a little kid. HTM was fuming but when Lawler dared him to come out of the ring and fight HTM backed down!

I like Hennig going 45 minutes here as I think he could be a real threat to Flair.

Great TV show here. I enjoyed the setup to the main event and the main event itself. I was wondering what wondering how you were going to slow Andre down and that was very creative. Also liked the Bullet getting some love here

The first match was very interesting as Goto makes a huge impression. Adias had been doing well and now he just gets destroyed! I love OMG and antything he does. RnR vs Rougeaus is a nice match

Very intertesting to read your house show. It is so different in style from your TV show with a focus on the wrestlers instead of the announcers. I enjoy both and you seem to have WWC down pat, at least for what I saw of WWC IRL.

I agree with your title of Independence Day Spectacular as it was just that! So well booked as Slaughter and DeBeers would have to have Boot Camp Match and the Sheeperderders are perfect for a barbed wire match. Steamboat vs Bigelow just shows the versatility of the Dragon. He can work any type of match

The American Bash has been a huge success and now in Dallas, we move into a new era! Great Bash event with huge matches, creativity and a main event second to none. From the opening matches to the Battle Royal to War Games to the the NWA title match, this card must have brought the house down. Just to brag a little, I picked Schultz to win that Battle Royal! Can't wait to see where this all goes! War Games is a tough concept to write but you made it really easy to follow as was the Battle Royal!

got it

Interesting Gordi. I was just about to say how much I liked the format. As for the show... the squash matches did a nice way of pushing your talent. Superstar and Sika is an awesome TV bout. Keep up the great work

Very nice card here with all roads pointing to the Great American Bash! Really enjoying your use of Muta and I think the Mr. Wrestling 3 angle is a nice idea as Wrestling II is nearing the end! Enjoying the continuation of Adonis and Street. INterested to see their GAB match.

Great shows to get more interest in the Bash if that is even possible. Love Muta here! He was awesome.

Great card as always. Tamba continues to grow here. Even though he lost, I love Leduc in this crazy world of WWC. That video of the fire match was also wild. One slip here and you got some serious burns!

UWF drops Mike Miller and picks up Brian Adams

So realisitc here as TV is used to sell tickets at each event. Mulligan and Paul Jones are a nasty combination. Love the "Davey Baby" Rock Riddle interview.

Great shows in AWA's return. The tag team division especially caught my attention as I think Garvin and Adams could be golden as a team + new champs in Piper and Orton! Sullivan and Rotundo are such company guys. Both always ready to take the fall to move an angle forward, put someone over or even in moving in to a new promotion.

Wow... what is going on with Andre! Now with Tom Prichard! Heel Andre could be championship material.

Done

Here we go again.... Two more good wrestlers the game has forgotten until MACW comes along. Nice touch with Kerry Brown and Duke Myers Also, great way to help Snuka seem like he has a chance at the belt with the pin of the Million Dollar Man
