While they are not your main-eventers, I am really enjoying the build of your rookies! Keep up the great work

Again, great job of building your entire card as your openers and mid-carders are getting a lot of push here on TV. Sawyer-Rich feud seems so normally in the NWA and it doesn't even matter which Sawyer or Rich it is. I have only seen a few quick videos of Rock Riddle but you seem to have him down perfect with the Davey baby quotes. Great job

I enjoy that all of our shows are slightly different. You do a great job of the announcers being the center of the show. You have stepped right in and seem so comfortable with the WWC. Were you raised on this brand of wrestling?

Ok, Gene wins. He is the master of writing comedy wrestling interviews. Embry needs an award. So much great stuff happening. Where this Dr. David thing goes is going to be something to watch. I also think the Flair/Funk thing was well thought out. Great work

Chris Candido is off to a nice start here. Not sure how often the French stars wrestled in the Toronto area but I wonder how they would have been received as we are beginning to get into that Quebec Separatist time period in Canada. This could lead to some fun angles as the same people could be both heels or baby faces depending on where the event was.

You do such a great job of always making certain people look good even in a loss. Your main event was a perfect example of that. The youngsters are a fun read and seem to be coming along nicely. Just wondering how professional wrestling does in Utah in general as it seems so anti-Mormon.

I am not the best planner but looking ahead, Hacksaw Duggan, JYD, Rip Oliver, DIck Murdoch, Wahoo McDaniel and Blackjack Mulligan might be available in late March

As always, you are doing a great job developing your story lines. The Varsity Club Rush is really fun to follow and I am wondering when Sullivan causes the chaos. Steamboat vs Orndorff is going to be great and I am already wondering if we will see a new champ. With Patera back with Blackwell, your tag division and your possible feuds are heating up.

The people at the Scope had an event that they will not soon forget. Just the heat that the Sheik brings makes a trip to the arena memorable but add but add the Stud Stable, the tournament and Bob Roop attacking Taylor and you have a great NWA event.

Enjoy seeing Ron Garvin on top here. Your roster is in great balance where you have enough people to take the fall which is allowing some of the up and comers to shine and you have enough stars to keep the Main Event hot and fresh.

KNOXVILLE CIVIC CENTER JANUARY 18, 1986 Welcome everyone to the first UWF wrestling special of 1986. I am Jim Ross along with my partner Lance Russell and we are coming to you from the Civic Center in Knoxville, Tennessee for what is being billed as King of the Mountain. Lance Russell: That’s right Jim and tonight the UWF is going to hold their first ever King of the Mountain Battle Royal but this is not like any battle royal we have ever seen. In this one, the ring will actually start with 2 wrestlers and every other minute another wrestler will enter. Whoever is in the ring at the time will use regular Over the Top Rope Battle Royal rules. The last one standing will be crowned the 1986 King of the Mountain and will receive a UWF World Title shot. Jim Ross: That’s not all Lance. We will also have two huge title matches. First, we will see David vs Goliath in the UWF Tag Team Title Match as the Rock n Roll Express faces the Road Warriors and then it will be the big one for the UWF World Title as Jerry Lawler will face Tony Atlas. COMMERCIAL BREAK THE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN MATCH #1 Sam Houston and #2 Dick Slater enter the ring and have at for the first 2 minutes but neither are able to make too much headway. Next into the ring is the United States Champion, #3 Hacksaw Butch Reed who comes in like a house afire. Within seconds Sam Houston is up in a Gorilla Press Slam and tossed all the way to the floor. Reed doesn’t waste any time and goes right after Slater but Slater buys himself a little time with a double eye rake. As the first chord of “Another One Bites the Dust” blares from the speaker, the crowd erupts as they know #4 is JYD. The Dog rushes to the ring and goes right after the wounded Reed. Dog does everything he can but can’t Reed out before the next entrant. Slater seems to be very happy resting during at this time. Next to the ring is (#5) Chief Wahoo McDaniel and for the next 2 minutes, we have Dog vs Reed and Wahoo vs Slater in opposite sides of the ring. Next we hear the loudest boos of the night so far as #6, Ivan Koloff comes down the aisle. Koloff decides to help Slater in his standoff with Wahoo but JYD comes across the ring and helps Wahoo survive this time period. Reed, looking out for himself appeared to be taking a break but saw Wahoo connect with a few tomahawk chops on Slater. Reed comes running across the ring as Slater and Wahoo are up against the ropes. Wham. Double Close Line on Wahoo and Slater and they both tumble over the top rope and out of the King of the Mountain. Just as Reed and Ivan turn towards JYD, we get our next entrant to the match! Business is about to pick up as the 6’9 300 pound (#7) Blackjack Mulligan hits the ring. Big right hand to Reed followed by the Iron Claw on Ivan. JYD comes right after Reed again and we are once again 2-2 on opposite sides of the ring. The crowd erupts as they see the advantage turn to the side of good as #8, Kendell Windham hit the ring. Unfortunately, they can’t take advantage of this as we get 2 minutes of a wild brawl with no eliminations. COMMERCIAL BREAK And here comes Rip Oliver (#9). Oliver goes after Kendell Windham as Blackjack plays the role of the protective father here and attempts to toss Oliver from the ring. Ivan uses this time to lend a helping hand to Butch Reed on JYD. Before we get an elimination, we get the next entrant rushing to the ring! The crowd is a little leary hear as it its Tommy “Wildfire” Rich (#10). He says he is on the side of good but these Tennessee fans have been fooled by him before. Wildfire rushes right over to attack Ivan Koloff as he helps his old friend JYD. The crowd erupts as we get Koloff and Reed vs Wildfire and JYD in one corner. In the other corner, Blackjack and Kendell are able to take care of Rip Oliver. Kendell whipped Oliver into a Big Boot by Blackjack and then scooped him up and deposited him out onto the floor. And here comes the former Olympian, Brad Rheingans (#11) No surprise here as he goes right for the Russian Bear, Ivan Koloff. Koloff hits Wildfire with a low blow as Wildfire crumbles into the corner. Now we get Ivan and Rheingans squaring off as Kendell and Blackjack do their best on Reed but he erupts with a moment of pure rage and power. A short-armed clothesline on Blackjack followed by another Gorilla Press Slam to the floor on Kendall. In the ring we now have Hacksaw Butch Reed, JYD, Ivan Koloff , Blackjack Mulligan, Tommy Rich and Brad Rheingans. And next to the ring is the monster, the Warlord (#12). As he enters we get 2 minutes where everyone seems happy to just beat on whoever is around but we see no eliminations. Down the aisle comes (#13) Buddy Landell and we see him team up with the Warlord. Together they are able to oust Brad Rheingans as we get our first glimpse of the monster’s power as he simple tosses him from the ring. For the most part, the Reed-JYD brawl has continued since the beginning and Rich and Koloff have been doing their best to get each other out. COMMERCIAL BREAK All of a sudden, we get our first shock of the evening. Jim Ross sounds heartbroken here as he can’t belief that another Russian is coming down the aisle. It is not Nikita as the UWF crowd would have expected but it is none other than NWA Star, Boris Zhukov (14). He heads right over to Uncle Ivan and they join forces going after Wildfire. Lucky for Rich, Blackjack was currently on a rest and came over to even that one at 2-2. Wild Bill Irwin (#15), who is accompanied by his manager Ron Wright, is next to the ring. To the horror of this crowd, he heads right over and helps Ivan and Boris on Wildfire and Blackjack. The numbers game here is to much here as Blackjack hits the floor. We also see Reed finally able to get JYD out. We now have a big advantage for the heels as Reed, Ivan, Zhukov, the Warlord, Landell and Irwin zone in on Tommy Rich who is all alone. He is in need of some real help. And help he gets! Here comes Baby Doll leading her Total Package to the ring. Lex Luger (#16) hits the ring at a full sprint and within seconds he has tossed Bill Irwin and Buddy Landell to the floor. This was not enough to save Wildfire as he was tossed out by the Russians. The Warlord, looking a little lost here, stumbles around really not doing much as the fans get their first glimpse of Reed and Luger squaring off. Maybe it was the fact the Reed has been in the ring for almost 25 minutes and Luger was fresh, but Luger was getting the best of this one. The babyfaces get some more help as Captain Redneck, Dick Murdoch (#17) walks down the aisle. This is his type of match as he loves chaos and brawling. He goes right up to the Warlord and starts throwing big haymakers. One eye rake later, Murdoch simply guides the Warlord to the corner and escorts him to the floor. We now get Murdoch going up against the Russians while Luger and Reed continue their brawl on the other side. The crowd is excited as here comes long time fan favorite, Pistol Pez Whatley (#18). As soon as he hits the ring we here a groan from the crowd as he joins Butch Reed in his fight with Lex. Jim Ross is in shock here and hopes that this is just Whatley’s plan to win the King of the Mountain. Murdoch is still holding off the Russians but is in need of help as is Luger. The crowd erupts as Hacksaw Duggan (#19) hits the ring waving an American Flag. Luger catches Whatley with a huge Clothseline and he tumbles over the top rope. Luger scoops up Reed and miraculously locks him in the Torture Rack! While this is going on, it is Murdoch and Duggan doing their best to preserve America’s honor as they battle Ivan and Boris. Here comes another of Ron Wright’s men. (#20) Scott Irwin. He heads right for Luger who drops Reed from the Torture Rack all the way to the floor. Luger then scoops Irwin up and slams him over the top rope and out onto the floor. Ron Wright is beside himself as Scott was eliminated in less the 5 seconds. Wham! Spear by Duggan on Zhukov and he flips over the top rope. COMMERCIAL BREAK We now have Duggan, Murdoch and Luger for the good guys and only Ivan Koloff for the heels. Jim Ross announces #21…. and here comes another member of Devastation Inc. The Barbarian. This powerful, athletic monster takes no time to make his mark. He enters the ring with a top rope diving headbutt on Dick Murdoch. Murdoch stumbles backwards and the Barbarian rushes at him and leaps with another diving headbutt. Murdoch flops over the ropes and out onto the floor. We now have Luger vs Ivan and the Barbarian vs Duggan. And here comes the boy from New York City…. #22 Jimmy Valiant. Valiant comes in with his unorthodox style and is hitting everything in sight. He has entered this match late enough to maybe steal a world title shot and he doesn’t care who he hits which leads to another 2 minutes of chaos here with no eliminations. down the aisle comes #23, the Dirty White Boy and the brawl continues until the next entrant enters. It is DWD vs Valiant, Luger vs Ivan and Duggan vs the Barbarian. Next to the ring is #24 Bob Armstrong. He goes right for the Dirty White Boy. It seems that Ron Wright saying his army is taking aim at the Armstrongs has set him off. A Georgia Jawbreaker followed up by a big right hand by the Boogie Woogie man sends the DWB over the top rope and Ron Wright is furious that his Army has failed. Valiant quickly turns his attention to Armstrong and they go at it. Paul Ellering is leading the next wrestler to the ring. It is #25 The Ultimate Warriors. Two things that are for sure. The Warrior is powerful and he is full of energy. He hits the ring like a bullet and within a few seconds he has connected with two Warrior Smashes and sent Jimmy Valiant and Bob Armstrong to the floor. He now goes right after Ivan Koloff and smashes him to the floor. Luger and the Warrior now eyeball each other. Warrior gives him a huge flex and Luger responds with one of his own. Duggan and the Barbarian are still going at it on the other side. Poor #26, #27 and #28 as Luger and Warrior seem to have joined forces and have come up with an interesting plan. They attack whoever comes down that aisle as soon as they hit the ring and then they dispose of them. That was the fate meet by Masked Avenger (Ed Wisnoski), Porkchop Cash and Brad Armstrong. COMMERCIAL BREAK And the crowd groans, #29…. Dr. Death Steve Williams hits the ring. Duggan hears this and ducks under a clothesline by Warrior and hits him with a spear. Dr. Death dives right through the middle ropes and spears Warrior. This ends Luger and Warriors partnership and we now have the Barbarian and Dr. Death going after Duggan and Luger fighting it out with Warrior. Jim Ross wonders who is #30 and who is going to become the #1 contender for the UWF World Title! And here he comes, the last entrant into the King of the Mountain. It is none other than Nikita Koloff! The crowd moans as the Russian Nightmare hits the ring. In an effort to stop the monster, the Warrior comes off the ropes with a Warrior Smash. Nikita ducks under and hits the ropes himself. Bah Gawd, he nearly broke the Warrior in half with a Russian Sickle. Everyone in the ring stops at the sound and takes a look. This gave Duggan a chance to dispose of the Barbarian. Dr. Death, Hacksaw Duggan, Lex Luger and Nikita Koloff are the final 4! We go a good 5 or 6 minutes without an elimination until the crowd gets exactly what they want. Duggan caught Dr. Death rushing in with a big knee lift and as Dr. Death staggered, Duggan tossed him over the top rope. Luger and Duggan now team up and for the first time since he has arrived in the UWF, Nikita Koloff is taking it on the chin. This goes on for a few minutes when all of a sudden, Ivan and Boris come down to ringside. This seems to distract Lex and Hacksaw for a minute and energize Nikita. Nikita seems impervious to any attack now and he actually no sells a big blow by Duggan and out of nowhere Nikita connects with a short arm clothesline on Hacksaw and he tumbles over the top rope. It is now down to Lex Luger and Nikita Koloff with the title of King of the Mountain on the line. These two monsters hit each other with everything but the Kitchen sink. All of a sudden, the camera catches Boris and Ivan closing in on Baby Doll. Boris grabs her and Ivan starts to scold her. In typical Baby Doll fashion, she doesn’t back down and smacks Ivan across the face. This enrages Ivan who decks her. Luger sees this and heads over to the ropes to protect Baby Doll. This is when the Russian Nightmare comes up from behind and clobbers Luger in the head and over the top rope he goes. Jim Ross: Oh no. Bah Gawd, Nikita Koloff has won the King of the Ring and he will be entitled to a World Title shot but that is not all. Lance Russell: Ivan and Boris are holding Luger as Nikita is coming to finish him off! We need help out here in a hurray! Jim Ross: And here it comes, it is Tommy “Wildfire” Rich with a chair! WHAM…. Chair shot to Boris and he is down. Wham! Chair shot to Ivan and he is down Wham! Chair shot to Nikita who just looks at Rich like he is going to break him in half! Wham! Luger is back up again and nailed Nikita with his own shot! This is where the officials and wrestlers pour out of the locker room and peace is restored. COMMERCIAL BREAK UWF WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH THE ROCK n ROLL EXPRESS VS THE ROAD WARRIORS These two teams have put on some shows of late and this one is no different. We have speed vs power and it is just a battle of wills to see which one will come on out on top. After a fast start by the Express, the Road Warriors take over and here we go with the normal Ricky Morton playing the face in peril. You feel bad for him as the beating he is getting is colossal. From the punches and body slams to the clotheslines and suplexes, Morton looks like he is going to leave this one on a stretcher. As always, Moron is able to roll out of trouble and here comes Gibson like a house afire! The difference tonight is that Hawk and Animal No Sell Morton’s attack and he soon becomes the new face in peril. A big backbreaker by Animal followed by a tag to Hawk leaves Gibson in dire straits as the Road Warriors are about to hit the Doomsday Device. Gibson is up in the clutches of Animal as Hawk leaps of the top rope. Wham… Diving top rope clothesline and Gibson flips over onto the mat. Hawk goes for the cover. 1… Here comes Morton for the save 2… Wham. Big Shoulder Block by Animal on Morton. 3. Paul Ellering rushes into the ring and the Road Warriors celebrate their regaining of the UWF World Title. Jim Ross also reminds us that with the Ultimate Warrior, they are also the World 66 Man Champions. In a great display of sportsmanship, a battered Rock n Roll Express congratulate Animal and Hawk. Lance Russell is sure if these two teams wrestled 100 times, they would each win 50 and he can’t wait for the next one. COMMERCIAL BREAK UWF WORLD TITLE MATCH JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER VS “MR. USA” TONY ATLAS Atlas gets a nice ovation on his way to the ring but this is Lawler territory and the roof nearly blows off the Civic Center when he the King comes out. As for the match, we see some mutual respect here and we start off with a handshake. The first 5 or 6 minutes is kind of a feeling out process with some headlocks and leg scissors. It is after this that business picks up as Atlas overpowers Lawler and pushes him back to the corner. So far, we had all clean breaks but not here. A big forearm from Atlas and the King is reeling. From here on out, the brawl is on. At one point, Atlas begins to pound on the back of the King and then whips him off the ropes and catches him in a back breaking Bearhug. It looks like Lawler is about to lose the title but somehow we get the break. Lawler recovers and now it is his time to shine. There are few people in the industry who can throw the punches like Lawler and he is on fire here. The King pulls the strap down and has Atlas in some big troube. Atlas hits the mat and the King climbs to the middle rope. Wham! Lawler connects with the fist drop and looks to be on the verge of a victory. He picks Atlas up by the head and looks to be going for the piledriver. Jim Ross: Aww Bah Gawd no. Watch out King. Hacksaw Butch Reed, Ernie Ladd and Pez Whatley hit the ring! The ref calls for the bell but that isn’t going to stop Lawler from getting the beating of his life. Lawler gets it pretty good before the Calvary of Jimmy Valiant, Tommy Rich, JYD and Wahoo McDaniel hit the ring and chase the goons away. Unfortunately, it might be too late as the show ends with Lawler barely able to walk out. Lance Russell: So long from Knoxville.

You have such a way of telling the behind the scene match plan but keep it exciting as if it is a real! Such a good read

Dr. D has made a quick impression here! I am a tournament guy and as usual, you did not disappoint. Texas is the hotbed of wrestling right now.

Snuka vs Kamala would be awesome. The headbutts of Snuka vs the chops of Kamala and the Super Fly Slash vs the Giant Splash! I agree with the others that you did a nice job of giving some attention to your mid-carders but by doing that some may become top stars.

I agree with Spaldoni that the unpredictable nature of your matches makes Lutte a great promotion.

WCCW is so much fun right now. I agree with Edger.... the Embry thing is fantastic

I think that the roster you have now is one of the best you have had since joining the game. It is a great mix of the Canadian flavor with the typical NWA types thrown in. Love Jos Leduc and would like to see him in a major feud some time.

The AWA just continues to roll. I am enjoying the Varsity Club Rush a lot. I also love all the bloody brawls as your roster is perfect for it. Sullivan can go with just about anyone and we get chaos. Same can be said for Sawyer and Khan.

1/11/1986 ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA Hello again everybody. Welcome to Power Pro Wrestling, a UWF Production coming to you from the Rapides Parrish Coliseum in Alexandria, Louisiana. I am Jim Ross and my partner is Cowboy Bill Watts. Everyone is so excited for King of the Mountain this week in Knoxville where we will see a 30 man King of the Mountain Match were one wrestler will enter the ring every 2 minutes and the last one standing will get a World Title shot and the Rock n Roll Express will also defend the Tag Titles against the very dangerous Road Warriors but right now, we must get to the bottom of how our show ended last week. For those of you who didn’t see it, let’s show the video: MATCH MAIN EVENT: DR. DEATH STEVE WILLIAMS & HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN VS THE BARBARIAN & THE WARLORD While the Warlord looks physically imposing, he is raw as could be and actually doesn’t even enter the ring. That’s because the match only goes about 3 minutes. Duggan and the Barbarian start the match and really go at it. Duggan gets the slight advantage and has the Barbarian down. He hits the ropes as it looks like he is going for an elbow drop but Akbar trips him up. Duggan turns his attention to Akbar for a second and warns him not to get involved again. Duggan turns back to the Barbarian…. WHAM! Jim Ross: Baw Gawd! What is going on. What has Akbar down. Dr. Death has just speared Duggan. Dr. Death, the Barbarian and the Warlord are now stompin a mud hole in Duggan and walkin it dry. When the video ends, we see Skandar Akbar at the interview table with the newest member of Devastation Inc, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams where an emotional Cowboy Bill Watts wants some explanation from Dr. Death. Cowboy Bill Watts: Steve, you and I have been bleeding all over this region of the United States trying to put an end to this no-good sheet wearing piece of garbage and now you go any join him? I got to know why. Dr. Death: Watts I will tell you exactly why. Every time I looked up after being attacked by the likes of Konga or Kamala, I saw your old behind flat on your back. I saw that laughing stock, Hacksaw Jim Duggan swinging a 2 x 4 but never hitting everything. And the next week it would be the same except for one thing. General Akbar would retool. He would do whatever he needed to do to win. That’s the type of organization I want to be a part of. Oh, and by the way, he is paying me more money than I know what to do with. I am entering 1986 as the North American champion and I will be leaving 1986 as the World Champion and there is nothing you can do about it. All of a sudden Hacksaw Duggan comes out and verbally attacks both Akbar and Williams but that only lasts for about a minute as the Warlord and Konga come out and now it is 4-2 as Devastation Inc ends the first segment by leaving Duggan and Watts in a bloody heap on the floor. COMMERCIAL MATCH THE ROCK n ROLL EXPRESS BEAT PORKCHOP CASH & THE MASKED AVENGER (Ed Wiskowski) WITH A DOUBLE DROP KICK ON CASH At the interview desk, the Rock n Roll Express do a great job of playing the underdog even though they are the UWF World Tag Team Champions as they get ready to face the Road Warriors next week in Knoxville. Morton and Gibson remind us that they have faced Animal and Hawk on numerous occasions and have come out on top many of those times. They know they are going to take a physical beating but expect to come out on top but they need each and every fans support in Knoxville. Morton lets us know that the Rock n Roll Express are at their best with all the fans behind them! MATCH: DICK MURDOCH CRUSHES KEN DILLINGER WITH A BRAINBUSTER Dick Murdoch: The UWF is a great place. I got here just one week ago and in less than one week I will be the World Champ! This King of the Mountain match is right up my ally. I love a good ol fashion fist fight and that is exactly what this match will be. I don’t care if I am the first man in the ring or the last one, I will be the one who gets his hand raised and then I will be coming after whoever is the champ! COMMERCIAL MATCH THE ROAD WARRIORS THE& ULTIMATE WARRIOR CRUSH THREE JOBBERS IN A 6 MAN TAG MATCH They all join Ellering at the interview desk where all the focus is on winning the World Titles this week in Knoxville. After hearing Animal and Hawk talk about what the are going to do to the Rock n Roll Express you actually feel frightened for Morton and Gibson. MATCH “DIRTY” DICK SLATER BEATS BIG JOHN ELLIS WITH THE FIGURE 4 The fans are unsure what to think of Slater other than that he gets the job done. They are waiting to see who he aligns himself with before passing judgement. Slater is known to straddle that fence between good and evil and it has been no different the last two weeks. We will wait and see but one thing for sure is that Slater is ready to win the King of the Mountain Match. Slater does remind us that he is the best free agent in the game and his services are for sale! The fans hope that he joins with someone like Doll and Lex Luger but Ross reminds us all that General Akbar has been is a spending mood lately. COMMERCIAL MATCH THE TEXAS TORNADOS (Sam Houston & Kendell Wyndham) defeat DON KERNODLE & COWBOY DON BASS These youngsters did a great job of shaking off every dirty trick these two vets played and in the end, they came up with a bit of an upset when they hit a double Bulldog on Kernodle. MATCH BLACKJACK MULLIGAN DEFEATS DREW JOHNSON WITH THE IRON CLAW During the match, Jim Ross kept saying he can’t believe how much talent has rushed into the UWF as the world of King of the Mountain and a potential word title shot has spread across the wrestling world. He goes on to talk about Slater, Luger, Murdoch and now Blackjack Mulligan. COMMERCIAL MATCH NATURE BOY BUDDY LANDELL VS THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN TRACY SMOTHERS This is a rematch from last week and it is evident that they don’t like each other. The difference this week vs last week where we saw a time limit draw was that Landell had no thoughts on winning the match. About 4 minutes in, we see Crusher Rip Oliver come out to the ring and together with Landell they gave Smothers a Spike Piledriver. As Smothers laid motionless on the mat, these two danced around the ring with big smiles on their faces. All of a sudden, those smiles turned into looks of great fear as Hacksaw Duggan, Blackjack Mulligan and another huge man who Jim Ross introduces as none other than Scott Hall. Before these three hit the ring, Landell and Crusher actually hightail it back to the locker by way of the stands. Before the show ends, Jim Ross interviews these three and Hacksaw Duggan takes the lead. Hacksaw Jim Duggan: Listen up Jim Ross. We are sick and tired of all these people coming into the UWF and thinking they can just get what they want. From this Ron Wright and his Army to the Russians to the Nation of Domination and let’s not forget about the lowest scums on the face of the earth. That’s right Dr. Death and Skandar Akbar. Well there are plenty of us who love this sport and have respect for it and they are coming to join me to take down those on the side of evil. Just look at the three standing here now. I mean we got 6’9 Blackjack Mullian. Scott Hall, 6’6 and a pure physical specimen. And there are others like JYD, Jerry Lawler, Lex Luger, Tommy Rich and the Armstrongs. If it is a war you thugs want…. YOU GOT IT! Jim Ross knows that Hacksaw and his group are ready but lets us all know we are out of time and to join us next week in Knoxville for the King of the Moutain. So long from Alexandria.

Nice start for the Varsity Club! Enjoy how well you develop each of your angles/

1/10/1986 ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA Hello everybody. Welcome to Crossfire a UWF Wrestling production. We are coming to you from the Rapides Parish Coliseum in Alexandria, Louisiana. I am Lance Russell and my partner today is the young Jeff Jarrett. All the buzz is about the huge King of the Mountain event in Knoxville, Tennessee which takes place one week from tonight! Jeff Jarrett: Oh boy! That is going to be one hot ticket. The 30 man “King of the Mountain” Battle Royal is going to be a sight to see and don’t forget the winner gets a World Title shot. Jim Ross: And speaking of the world champ, Jerry “the King” Lawler will be putting the title on the line against Mr. USA Tony Atlas and the UWF World Tag Title will be on the line as the top two teams in all of wrestling, the Rock n Roll Express and the Road Warriors, will continue their gigantic feud! Jeff Jarrett: Well before we get to that event, we have a great show tonight and let’s get to the ring to get it started. MATCH BRAD & STEVE ARMSTRONG DEFEAT BART SAWYER & STEVE BRODY BY DQ This match only lasted a minute or so before Ron Wright’s entire Army (the Irwin brothers and DWD hit the ring and attacked the Armstrongs. It was not long before the cavalry of Tommy Rich, Jerry Lawler and Tracy Smothers came out and made the save as Wright took his troops back to the locker room. At the interview desk we see a furious Bob Armstrong demand a match for later tonight. Jerry Jarret comes out and asked Bob what he wants. He says the Armstrongs vs Wright’s Army and crowd is excited as it is granted. Lance does take a moment to hype up the match at King of the Mountain between Lawler and Tony Atlas for the UWF World Title. Lawler says that he and Tony have been friends for a long time and it will be a great test for him but he expects to come out on top! COMMERCIAL MATCH THE CRIPPLER RIP OLIVER DEFEATS LOU WINSTON WITH THE PIKEDRIVER MATCH LEX LUGER WITH BABY DOLL DEFEATS KEN DILINGER WITH THE TORTURE RACK After the match, Baby Doll takes another chance to call out the United States Champion Hacksaw Butch Reed and she wants to know why he is ducking the Perfect Package. Ernie Ladd with the Nation of Domination sound track blaring from the speakers comes out. Ernie Ladd: Now what type of man lets a women do all the talking. Lance Russell: C’mon Ladd. That will be enough of that. Ernie Ladd: Shut Up Banana Nose. Lex you have been impressive the last two weeks but even you know that you are not in the class of Butch Reed and that you are not ready for a title shot Lex Luger: Ladd, I am the future of wrestle and the future is now. If you don’t think so, why are you alone. That’s because Butch Reed, who you call the man, is afraid. Butch Redd can’t stand it no more and no matter how much Ladd wanted to keep him away from Luger, he comes out. We get some back forth talk here and Reed gives a huge flex but Luger simply flexes back. The fans are wishing that these two monsters would just go at it but instead we get one of those timely commercial breaks to restore order. COMMERCIAL JYD and Wahoo McDaniel come out to the interview desk where Lance congratulate them on their recent success as a tag team and both Dog and Wahoo say they have joined together for one reason and that is to take the United States Tag Titles from the Midnight Express! All of a sudden, Jim Cornette comes out and is having a grand ole time. Jim Cornette: You two must be out of your mind! First of all, to think you two could stand a chance against Beautiful Bobby and Lover Boy Denis proves you are completely nuts. Second, what makes you two think you deserve a title shot. I mean you have been a tag team for like a minute now and have not beaten a top team to even deserve a title shot! JYD: So let the Dog get it straight! If we beat a top team in the UWF then we would deserve a title shot! Jim Cornette: And some people around here have been saying that JYD isn’t the brightest bulb! Of course any team that is the top team would get a title shot. I mean we all know that the Midnight Express are fighting champions and would never duck anyone. I mean, I invite you to stay out as the Midnight Express battles the team of Homer Dell and Verlon Biggs right now. I mean these two guys have been on a roll lately! MATCH THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS WITH JIM CORNETTE VS HOMER DELL AND VERLON BIGGS OR IS IT? Before the match starts, JYD and Wahoo enter the ring and go right to Homer Dell and Verlon Biggs and are having a conversation. The 4 shake hands and Biggs and Dell walk out of the ring. Lance Russell: Oh my! It looks like JYD and Wahoo are substituting in the match and the Midnight Express are about to be in for the fight of their lives. As for the match, JYD and Wahoo beat the Midnight Express from pillar to post for a good 5 minutes as JYD signals to the crowd that he is gong for Big Thump. He whips Beautiful Bobby off the ropes but Cornette trips his own man and drags him out of the ring. Cornette then calls Lover Boy to join him as the three hightail it back to the locker room. The ref completes the 10 count and declares Wahoo and JYD the winners but this is not the ending that anyone wanted. Lance Russell: Well I think that Cornette better think again before he calls the Midnight Express fighting champions, it does however look like they are good runners. COMMERCIAL MAIN EVENT MATCH BOB, BRAD & STEVE ARMSTRONG VS RON WRIGHT’S ARMY (The Irwins & the Dirty White Boy) The Armstrongs get off to a fast start here but Ron Wright trips up Steve and the Army is off and running. We end up going a little bonzo gonza at one point and all six men are in the ring. With the ref all distracted by the chaos, Ron Wright is able to slip his knucklebuster which seems to be loaded with a razor blade on one side to the Dirty White Boy. He wraps that weapon right across the back of the hand of Brad and he is spraying blood! The ref turned at the last second and saw the actions of the DWB and called for the bell. This did little to stop the fight as Bob and Steve just went nuts to protect Brad and tossed the Army out onto the floor. It is obvious that this feud is just getting going! Jim Ross: Wow. What a night it has been. Don’t forget to join us next week in Knoxville for the King of the Mountain. So long from Alexandria.

You have done a great job running this as close to real life as you can. From the TV shows to the Big event shows to the house shows. Very realistic.

Fun card here and I enjoyed seeing Bam Bam take the fork from Abbie ad go to work.

The Agency is a nice addition to the game. I had Rock Riddle once in the game and he is a lot of fun to write for. Your tag team division is shaping up nicely with a lot of teams who could go on a nice run here. I especially like the Soul Patrol and the Youngbloods. Taylor and Snuka give you two big babyfaces that could do anything you want. Keep up the good work. MACW is a fun read with a lot of interesting pieces with so many options.

Love Dutch in this situation.
