Fun first show that had the WWC feel. I found it interesting how much your show depended on the announcers. This reminded me a bit of Smoky Mountain as Dirty Dutch debated Caudle. Good work and looking forward to what is next. Colon and Bam Bam could be fun

It seems like you have been running WCCW forever as you have it down pat and have so quickly built a roster that fits perfectly. Nice work as always

WCCW at its best! I always remembered this as one of my favorite shows because they had big time matches on free tv. Well you have picked up right were they left off. Garvin vs Mike VonErich and a Loser Leave Town match!

UWF has Wendell Cooley and Superstar Dundee on the trade block.

The idea of selling the tag title rematch was great!

MAJOR UWF SHOWS FOR THE WEEK OF 11/2 MEMPHIS, TN- MID-SOUTH COLISEUM The Bruise Brothers (Mad Dog Boyd & Porkchop Cash) defeated the Midnight Cowboys (Kerry Brown & Duke Myers) after Cash followed up a series of headbutts on Cowboy #2 with a jumping knee smash to the jaw. Roy Lee Welch defeated “Dirty” Dan Denton with the Fuller Leg Lock. Crippler Rip Oliver defeated Tommy Gilbert with a piledriver. As Rip was walking up the aisle, Skandar Akbar came out and congratulated him. Buddy Landell & The Dirty White Boy vs Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden ended in a No Contest as Golden attacked the DWB before he even made it to the ring. The two teams brawled all over the arena but in the end Golden seemed to come out on top of his home town rival, the DWB as he delivered a Bucksnort Breaker (Hangman’s Neckbreaker) on the arena floor. UWF US TITLE MATCH: Hacksaw Butch Reed defeated Superstar Dundee with a Spear after Dundee was assaulted by Ernie Ladd on the outside. SUBMISSION MATCH: VEGAS LEG LOCK VS THE CROSSFACE CHICKENWING: Terry Taylor defeated Austin Idol as the ref was knocked down and Ron Fuller tried to weakened Taylor’s knees with a steel pipe but missed and hit Austin Idol by accident. Taylor quickly applied the Chicken wing for the win. UWF UNITED STATES TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Midnight Express regained the titles after Bobby Eaton laid a chair to the face area of Steve Armstrong and then connected with an Alabama Jammer. This was possible as the ref was distracted by Loverboy Dennis Condrey who tried to come in the ring without a tag. Cornette at the same time was hanging on the leg of Tracy Smothers to make sure he could not make the save. UWF WORLD TITLE MATCH: NO DQ: STREET FIGHT: Jerry “The King” Lawler defeats Tommy Rich after a wild and bloody affair that could have gone either way. In the end Lawler used Rich’s own boot as a weapon. JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI: MISSISSIPPI COLISEUM Farmer Boy Ipo defeated Bart Alexander with a Samoan Drop The Faces of Fear with Skandar Akbar defeat Wendell Cooley & Mike Graham after Cooley was knocked through the ropes by a diving top rope clothesline by Konga. With Cooley out of action, they went to work on Graham and the end came by submission as Haku locked in the Tongan Death Grip. Hacksaw Jim Duggan defeated Shane Douglas with a spear despite every effort by Mr. Wrestling II prevent it. The Road Warriors defeat Mark Youngblood & Jerry Ha in a complete beat down that finally ended with a Doomsday Device on Ha. Big Daddy Ritter defeated Mr. Wrestling in less than 3 minutes with a Big Thump! That’s right folks; Big Daddy Ritter was none other than JYD who came out to the biggest ovation Jackson has every seen. It looks like Wrestling II failed at putting the Dog out of Wrestling. UWF NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Steve “Dr. Death” Williams defeated Kamala with a spear. Akbar had tripped up Dr. Death and Kamala actually hit a giant splash but then all hell broke loose as Cowboy Bill Watts came down and physically went after Akbar and whooped him pretty good. This distracted the ref and allowed Dr. Death to recover. Watts now played cheerleader and really hyped up Williams who actually was able to hit an Oklahoma Stampede on the Ugandan Giant. FLAG MATCH: The Koloffs (Ivan, Nikita & Vlad) defeat the American Dream & the Rock n Roll Express as Ivan and Vlad fought the RnR Express on the outside of the ring and Nikita basically refused to sell a Bionic Elbow and then nearly decapitated The American Dream with a Russian Sickle. Nikita basically grabbed the American Flag and then stomped all over it before grabbing the Russian Flag and waving it like he just won WW III! The crowd in Jackson almost rioted as the Koloffs had to dodge debris on their way back to the locker room!

Now that's the way to turn up the heat! Put a belt on a Russian in the 1980's and we have big time crowds foaming at the mouth during one of the Main Events. Tickets sales will increase in Lutte!

Great upcoming card in the Forum. Very interested in this BR angle. I enjoy no contest wild endings on TV to set up a big house show. Good job selling tickets here!

11/2/1985 LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Hello again everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling, coming to you from the Barton Coliseum in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am Lance Russell and my partner today is Dave Brown. Let’s get started by bringing out Jerry Jarrett as he has a special announcement for all you wrestling fans in the Memphis area. Jerry Jarrett: That’s right Lance. This year Thanksgiving Thunder will take place at the Mid-South Coliseum and while all of the matches have yet to be set, I can guarantee you that there will be 5 major title bouts including a World Championship match up! Lance Russell: That’s great news Jerry and now let’s bring in the World Champion, Jerry “the King” Lawler who is fuming after being disqualified in his match in the Superdome against Nick Bockwinkle. The segment starts with a taped interview from Halloween Howl with Nick Bockwinkle. Nick Bockwinkle: I told Lawler. I told all of you. Take your King out of Memphis and he is nothing! The only place that you win in is Memphis because you have paid everyone off. Halloween Howl saw you stoop to such disgusting tactics that you were disqualified. I mean how low can you get. To be disqualified just to save your belt because you know you couldn’t beat me. Well trust me Lawler when I tell you I will be back for that UWF belt. Jerry Lawler is at the interview desk where he responds. Jerry Lawler: Nick Bockwinkle knows that I beat him from pillar to post and everybody knows when I pulled the strap and hit the fist drop and follow it up with a Royal Pildriver, the King was coming out on top. It is too bad that the ref disqualified me but after that match, the people of New Orleans know that I am the King. If Bockwinkle wants another shot, come on down to any UWF city and I will put your lights out! All of a sudden out comes Tommy Wildfire Rich where he lets Lawler know that he might be the King of Memphis but that he is the Stud of all of Tennessee and come this Monday night in the Mid-South Coliseum, he is going to once again be the World Champ. Jerry Lawler: I think some of that peroxide in your hair has seeped into your brain. I mean how many times am I going to have to beat you like the dog that you are before Tommy Rich: Stop right there Lawler. I will give you that we have had some humdingers of brawls but I have gotten the best of you and this Monday will be no different. In fact, we might as well start by taking that stupid crown of your right now. Jerry Lawler: You and want army! WHAM The entire Fuller Fab Ones (Ron Fuller, Idol, Landell and the DWB) hit the King and go onto the attack until the cavalry of Terry Taylor, Bill Dundee, Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden come to the rescue but it looks too late as the King is busted open. COMMERCIAL MATCH: THE SOUTHERN BOYS (STEVE ARMSTRONG & TRACY SMOTHERS DEFEATS LEO SEITZ & TONY CARROLLA This was the United States Tag Champs first match in a few weeks as Steve Armstrong had been recovering from the burn he received at the hands of the fireball thrown by the Midnight Express. Steve Armstrong is real “fired up” about how his going to get even with Cornette and his boys this week at the Mid-South Coliseum. Steve Armstrong: Cornette! Midnight Express! There is a fine line between trying to win a match and trying to hurt a man and ya’ll have crossed it. When you hit me with that fireball you didn’t care if I went blind. This week in Memphis, Tracy and myself won’t care about how bad we beat you but one thing you can count on is that when we leave we are leaving with our belts! Tracy Smothers: Jim Cornette we have heard enough about your mother’s lawyers. We are just a couple of good old boys from the South and we don’t need no lawyers. When we got a problem, we settle it like men and trust you me brother, if you dare to stick your nose in our match again, we got something special waiting for you. COMMERCIAL Before our next match, Jerry Lawler joins us and is fuming about the attack by the Fuller Fab Ones and he has just got Jerry Jarrett to okay a match will Ron Fuller tonight! Lance Russell also informs us that on that card at the Mid-South Coliseum will be Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden against Buddy Landell and the Dirty White Boy and Terry Taylor will face off with Austin Idol! All of a sudden Ron Fuller appears and Lance Russell seems very concerned that there will be a replay of the first segment’s brawl. Ron Fuller: I am not sure what you and Jarrett are thinking but I am a manager right now and not really spending much time in the ring! That is not because I can’t whoop all those boys back there in the locker room but because you people don’t deserve to see me. I am 6’9, 265 of the prettiest thing you have ever seen on TV! Ever! I am the youngest Georgia Heavyweight Champion, the youngest Florida heavyweight champion, the youngest Southern heavyweight champion, the youngest Southeastern Heavyweight Champion and now your next UWF World Champion except that it will not be in front of these Arkansas pig farmers here in Little Rock. If you want me in the ring vs Lawler, it is going to be in my home state of Tennessee where the women have seen me already and won’t pass out from my beauty. I will not be responsible for a complete overcrowding of the area hospitals. Jerry Lawler: Lance have you ever heard such a crock in your life. He is just a plain old 6’9, 265 pounds of chicken! All of a sudden Jerry Jarrett comes out and tells Fuller that he either gets in the ring tonight or he gets suspended for 90 days! Fuller is steaming but it seems like we have a title match tonight! MATCH SUPERSTAR DUNDEE BEATS SHANE DOUGLAS AS MR. WRESTLING II TRIED TO INTERFER BUT IT BACKFIRED AND DUNDEE HIT A PILEDRIVE At the interview desk, Lance congratulations Dundee and then hypes up his United States title match this week in Memphis against Hacksaw Reed and wonders what Dundee can do against the freak of nature, Butch Reed. Bill Dundee: Well listen Lance. Did you see the Rock n Roll Express beat the Road Warriors in the Superdome. It is not always the size but the amount of fight you got and I got …. WE ARE…. THE NATION…. OF DOMINATION starts to blare over the speakers and Reed and Ladd come out and are having a great time at the expense of Dundee’s diminutive size. Lance Russell: ok guys, that will be enough of that! There is no place for that behavior hear. All of a sudden the crowd pops as Hacksaw Duggan who has unfinished business with the Nation comes out and while peace prevails here, we find out that Duggan will be at ringside to make sure that Ladd can’t cause any trouble in the Coliseum. COMMERCIAL AUSTIN IDLO DEFEATS THE SAMOAN FARMER BOY IPO WITH THE VEGAS LEGLOCK Lance wonders where Fuller was for Idol’s match but Idol informs us that Fuller is getting ready to become the World Champion and how great it is that the Fuller Fab One’s have 2 shots at the World Title with Fuller tonight and if for some reason, the ref cheats the TN Stud out of the belt, the other TN Stud, Tommy Rich will get the work done on Monday. Lance says speaking of Monday Idol, you have Terry Taylor in a submission match. The Crossface Chickenwing vs the Vegas Leg Lock. Idol laughs at the idea of the chickenwing causing him any problems as he flexes his big guns and lets us know that he could never even get the Chicken wing on him. l will enjoy hearing Taylor’s leg snap with the Vegas Leg Lock. COMMERCIAL MAIN EVENT UWF WORLD TITLE MATCH JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER VS “THE TENNESSEE STUD” RON FULLER The match starts just as you would expect with Lawler outbrawling Fuller then Fuller gaining some momentum after some questionable tactics. Lawler seems on the brink of disaster as Fuller gets the Fuller Leg Lock clamped on but somehow Lawler refuses to submit and reaches the ropes. Lawler begins to no sell the Fuller attack and the strap is down and he goes wild throwing haymakers like only Lawler can. He climbs the ropes for the fist drop and….. Here we go again, the rest of the Fuller Fab Ones hit the ring with Lawler;s entourage not far behind and the show ends just as it started with a wild brawl but this time Lawler is clearing the ring as he seems ready for Tommy Rich this Monday in the Mid-South Coliseum. Lance Russell: So long from Little Rock.

Very solid show at the Forum. I am enjoying the love you are giving to some of the lesser known people on your roster like the Botswana Beast. We try to be somewhat historically correct but the promotions ares still ours and you have done a nice job with that balance.

11/2/1985 LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS Hello again everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling, coming to you from the Barton Coliseum in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am Jim Ross and my partner is Cowboy Bill Watts. We will be coming to you for an hour of non-stop action but before we get to the ring we have got to go to the video tape from Halloween Howl in the Superdome. Cowboy Watt’s, it is true that sometimes David really does beat Golitalith. The video shows the Rock n Roll Express winning the UWF World Tag Team titles with one of the most amazing finishes ever. Animal has Morton up and is waiting for Hawk to dive off the top rope with the Doomsday Device. Somehow Morton bends backwards so he is basically below Animal’s shoulders while Animal still has his legs hooked. Gibson rushed into the ring and actually dropkicked Hawk out of midair and with the speed Hawk was flying, it looked like Hawk’s head should fall off. Wham! Double dropkick on a stunned Animal to make sure he doesn’t make the save and the cover by Morton on Hawk! 1… 2… 3. When the video tape is over Morton and Gibson are at the interview desk and it is hard to believe that anyone could be more over then they were right now. The fans are going wild as the RnR Express thanks them for their support and that they look forward to defending their titles against all comers. All of a sudden, Paul Ellering comes out and he is as serious as a funeral and does say that the RnR Express did win the match cleanly but now they have angered the beasts that are the Road Warriors. We also found out that the Express will be defending their titles against the Road Warriors in two weeks right back in the city they won the belts in, New Orleans. Paul Ellering asks the Express to stay out and just watch the devastation that is about to occur. MATCH THE ROAD WARRIORS NEARLY KILL THE MIDNIGHT COWBOYS The Express were impressed but told Jim Ross they are never going to back down and it was their hard work that gave these belts in the first place. They promised to give it their all and asks all fans to come out and support them. This only seemed to endear them more to the audience. COMMERCIAL Before his non-title match, Steve “Dr. Death” Williams stops by the interview desk. Dr. Death: Every had written me off. Said Kamala was unstoppable, they gave me no chance at keeping this title. Well here I am, belt and all. Akbar! Kamala! We got some unfinished business. Last time I put you into the steel barricade. This week in Jackson. I am going to put you through it! Cowboy Bill Watts: Hey listen Dr. Death, while many people thought you were in some real trouble against Kamala, you know I was not one of them. We have been through a lot recently and I have told you how much I respect what you did to that snake Ted Dibiase and I have got your back in this war you are beginning with Skandar Akbar and Devastation Inc. MATCH STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS DEFEATS GEORGE RIDDELL WITH A SPEAR As soon as the match was over, Akbar led the entire Devastation Inc. out to attack Williams. Williams gave it his all and a got a few good shots in on Kamala, Haku and Meng but the numbers game got the best of him. Dr. Death took it pretty good until the cavalry of Hacksaw Duggan and Dusty Rhodes made the save. Dusty Rhodes: Ooooooohhhh Baaaaaby! The evil is all around us. Akbar, Kaaaamaaaala, the Russians. Naakita! Ivan and yes even you too Mr. Wrastlin II. But guess what. We are making our own brotherhood. We got each other’s backs. Good is going to survive! America is going to come out on top! Dusty hugs Dr. Death and Hacksaw and the three seem ready for anything. MATCH “CRIPPLER” RIP OLIVER DEFEATS MIKE GRAHAM WITH A GRAB OF THE TIGHTS FOLLOWING A SUPLEX As the match ends, and the Crippler is walking back behind the curtain where we see Skandar Akbar put his arm around, Oliver. COMMERCIAL MATCH NIKITA KOLOFF WITH UNCLE IVAN USES THE RUSSIAN SICKLE FOR A STRETCHER JOB ON RICKY GIBSON The Rock n Roll Express quickly rush out as Robert Gibson makes sure nothing else is done to his injured brother as Ivan, Nikita and Vlad Koloff make their way to the interview area. Ivan Koloff: Dusty Rhodes. You got a big mouth and a lot of guts but you are not very smart. Every time you open your mouth, Nikita has shut it for you! I have an idea for you. You talk about America dis and dat and how superior your country is to Russia. Well this week in Jackson, Mississippi, how about you get two more of your dumb Americans and you face the Koloffs in a flag match! Basically, as you Americans call it; we will play capture the flag. Winning team captures the others flag. Dusty Rhodes does not hesitate and comes right out to accept the challenge and he says he can think of two more Americans ready to shut you Russians up and they are in the ring right now helping an injured brother. The Rock n Roll Express nod to Dusty and the match is set as the World Tag Team Champions will be Dusty’s partners. MATCH THE BRUISE BROTHERS (PORKCHOP CASH & MAD DOG BOYD) ENTERTAIN THE FANS WITH A WIN OVER TOM STONE & LEO DELL AS BOYD HIT A GIANT SPLASH! COMMERCIAL MR. WRESTLING II DEFEATS WENDELL COOLEY IN AN ANYTHING GOES STREETFIGHT AS SHANE DOUGLAS HITS THE RING FOR A SERIES OF NASTY DOUBLE TEAMING LOADED KNEE LIFTS. Cowboy Bill Watts comes out and is sick and tired about how Mr. Wrestling II and Shane Douglas think that it is ok to just do whatever they want and that every time one is involved in a match, it seems the other is involved. Watts let’s Mr. Wrestling II know that he has a match this week in Jackson, Mississippi against a newcomer to the UWF…. One Big Daddy Ritter and if Shane Douglas gets involved, he will be suspended indefinitely. Mr. Wrestling II does seem to care as he can’t wait to beat up on another of Watt’s young whippersnappers! Jim Ross: Well what a show it is going to be this week in Jackson, Mississippi at the Mississippi Coliseum. So long from Little Rock.

UWF adds "Dirty" Dan Denton" to the roster.

No problem, I just saw 84 as the debut year on Wrestlingdata.com I will pick up somebody else.

UWF has sent the Kiwi Sheepherders to PR. To fill the roster spots, I would like to pick up Samoan LeRoy Brown and Chris Romero. Romero was a rookie in 84 and is the brother of Mark Younblood (Mark Romero) I do not think anyone has him on their roster but if you do, please let me know.

Welcome back! Love your story lines going forward.

UWF adds Mark Youngblood and releases Tommy Gilbert

That is exactly what I remember from World Class. Big matches all the time with chaos all around. I love that Bigelow started the trouble but Iceman and Bam Bam Gordy got the last laugh

UWF would like the Rock n Roll Express Dec 5,7,12,14,19,21,26 and 28 Like This Quote MultiQuote Edit Blog This

Fright Night is a hit! Great main event and all is well in Texas as the VonErichs gain some gold.

LOUISIANA SUPERDOME OCTOBER 31,1985 Welcome to Halloween Howl II in the Louisiana Superdome. I am Jim Ross and my partner for this UWF special is the one and only Lance Russell. What a night we have for you as there will be a $50,000 World Tag Team Title Tournament where the winner not only gets the money, they also walk out as UWF World Tag Team Champion! Lance Russell: And that’s not all folks. It will be Shane Douglas vs Wendell Cooley in a Louisiana Street fight. Steve “Dr. Death” Williams will be defending the United States Championship against “the Ugandan Giant, Kamala. Hacksaw Butch Reed will be putting his North American championship on the line against Terry Taylor and let’s not forget the big one…. UWF VS AWA as Jerry “the King” Lawler puts his title on the line against his old nemesis, Nick Bockwinkle ROUND 1: TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT The Rock n Roll Express vs Fuller’s Fab Ones (Tommy Rich & Austin Idol) with Ron Fuller A typical Rock n Roll Express match here where they get off to a quick start and then Morton gets caught in the wrong corner followed by a daring escape to tag in Gibson and then the match goes wild. Fuller saw that his team was in trouble and got up on the apron. To the delight of the fans, he was double drop kicked to the floor. The distraction allowed Tommy Rich to scoop up Morton for a body slam but Morton wiggled free and went for a roll up for the pin where he got the 3 count. The Midnight Express with Jim Cornette vs Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody Brody and Hansen dominate for the first 5 minutes but a Cornette distraction allowed for a nasty low blow by Condrey on Hansen. Brody rushed the ring but was forced out by the ref. This gave Cornette time for a tennis racket shot on Bruiser. Condrey tagged in Eaton for the Alabama Jamma for the win. The fans seemed upset at Cornette’s shenanigans but they were also disappointed that we did not get to the third go around between Brody and Hansen vs the Road Warriors! The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering vs Tennessee Stud Stable (Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden) Not that this was completely one sided but it always seemed like the Road Warriors were going to come out on top. The end came when the Warriors hit a Doomsday Device on Jimmy Golden. Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs Dusty Rhodes & Hacksaw Jim Duggan Not sure if this was a wrestling match or a war of good versus evil. Russia vs the United States always sells but add the Koloffs against the patriotic team of Dusty and Duggan and we got everyone on the edge of their seats. This doesn’t resemble wrestling at all as it is a street fight from the opening bell. Nikita is a beast and Ivan is the experienced veteran who knows his way around the ring. It seemed like Dusty and Duggan were going to fall as Dusty did a great job a playing the face in peril. He does make the tag to Duggan who comes in like a house afire but Nikita no sells blow after blow! Jim Ross is in shock here and wonders if this man is truly human. Dusty recovers enough and hits Nikita with a Bionic Elbow! Nothing! The only thing that stopped Nikita is that he went absolutely nuts. Russian Sickle on Duggan and he is down! Russian Sickle on Rhodes and he is down! The ref is trying to get control of the match! Russian Sickle on the ref! Nikita has the Russian Chain and is beating Rhodes! Beating Duggan! Other officials rush to ring side and call for the bell! The Russians are DQ but it just might be the most dominate in-ring performance by one man in UWF history! Jim Ross and Lance Russell wonder if anyone is safe! UNITED STATES TITLE MATCH Hacksaw Butch Reed with Ernie Ladd vs Terry Taylor We get a good back and forth here for about 10 minutes or so until Hacksaw went for a spear and missed but hit the steel ring post. As Hacksaw stumbled back he was caught in the Chicken Wing! Reed somehow back-peddled into the ropes and forced the break saving his title. With Reed’s arm damaged, Taylor went to work until Reed grabbed him by the tights and tossed him to the floor. As the ref admonished Reed, Ladd went to work with a Big Boot! Ladd tossed Taylor back into the ring where this time Reed didn’t miss the spear and gained the victory. Lance Russell: Enough is enough. The Nation of Domination is dominating due to a numbers game. Ladd must be stopped! Terry Taylor had this match won but leaves a loser because of one of the dirtiest players in the game! TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT: SEMI-FINALS The Rock n Roll Express vs The Midnight Express As you would expect the first 15 minutes are predictable. From the heat brought by Cornette’s entrance to how over the Rock n Roll Express were with the first chord of Rock n Roll All Night was heard from the speakers. Some great chain wrestling and running of the ropes gives the RnR Express the early advantage followed by some questionable tactics put Ricky Morton in peril. Morton gets back on equal ground as whips Eaton into the ropes. As Eaton comes off the ropes, it looks like he was going to crash into ref Pee Wee Anderson who actually leap frogged Eaton. WHAM! A big drop kick by Morton and a tag to Gibson who comes in like a house afire. Cornette is screaming how Pee Wee Anderson is on the take and is helping the Rock n Roll Express. Things are bonzo gonzo now as all 4 are in the ring. Condrey and Morton are in the corner and Anderson is trying to get them out of the ring as they are not the legal wrestlers. Cornette sees this as his chance. Eaton grabs Gibson and here comes the tennis racket shot! WHAM! Gibson escapes at the last second and Cornette crushes his own man. WHAM! Gibson punches Cornette! Gibson grabs the racket and clocks Eaton again for good measure and goes for the cover. Pee Wee Anderson turns just at the right moment and the Rock n Roll Express move on to the finals! The Road Warriors vs Dusty Rhodes & Hacksaw Jim Duggan While this should be a main event anywhere in the country, the damage done by the Koloffs is just too much to overcome. The Road Warriors are tough enough when you are at full strength but here they were just unstoppable. Rhodes and Duggan gave it their all but the end came after Rhodes was laid out on the outside and Duggan was crushed with a Doomsday Device. Lance Russell and Jim Ross really hype up the Road Warriors/ Rock n Roll Express final as they feel these are the two greatest teams in all of wrestling. NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH Steve “Dr. Death” Williams vs Kamala with Skandar Akbar Kamala has been unstoppable in the UWF since he first arrived and as this match begins, it appears that it will be no different. After numerous chops, savat kicks and nerve holds, the Ugandan Giant went for the Big Splash but Dr. Death rolled away at the last second. As both struggled to their feet, Akbar was up on the apron only to be caught by Dr. Death with a huge right hand. Akbar feel to the floor and Williams turned as saw Kamala staggering on the ropes! WHAM! Jim Ross: Oh baw gawd! The carnage. Dr. Death has just speared Kamala through the middle rope and out onto the cement floor. Neither men seem to be moving. As the ref competes the double countout, both men are on their feet and the brawl is on. It continues all the way back to the concession stand as the locker room empties to get this two men apart. Lance Russell: Wow! That was something and I guarantee you that neither man is satisfied with this decision! TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT FINALS The Road Warriors vs The Rock n Roll Express As Bill Apter will write later this month, this match has the lead for tag team match of the year. It is speed and trickery versus pure power! After each huge power move, it is like the Rock n Roll Express are just trying to survive then and then they get a little momentum before they are crushed again. Those few times when the Rock n Roll Express do get control of the match, you see the respect that both Animal and Hawk have for them as they are really selling each and every move by Gibson and Morton. The end is a finish that they will be talking about for a long time. Animal has Morton up and is waiting for Hawk to dive off the top rope with the Doomsday Device. Somehow Morton bends backwards so he is basically below Animal’s shoulders while Animal still has his legs hooked. Wham! Gibson rushed into the ring and actually dropkicked Hawk out of midair and with the speed Hawk was flying, it looked like Hawk’s head should fall off. Wham! Double dropkick on a stunned Animal to make sure he doesn’t make the save and the cover by Morton on Hawk! 1… 2… 3. Jim Ross: I can’t believe what I just saw. That was the most amazing thing ever! The Rock n Roll Express are the World Tag Team Champions and they are $50,000 richer! UWF WORLD TITLE MATCH: Jerry “The King” Lawler vs Nick Bockwinkle With the entire fate of the UWF in Jerry Lawler’s hands, the fans in the Superdome are on the edge of their seats. If Lawler loses and Bockwinkle takes the World title back to the AWA, it would be devastating to the young company. This match is unpredictable as both men are very similar. They know every trick in the book while being very solid technical wrestlers and tremendous brawlers. This match has some of everything. From submission holds like sleepers and abdominal stretches to the time when the action seems almost high school wrestling match with its arm bars and leg locks. Both try some questionable tactics like an eye gouge here and a grab of the trunks there but nothing gives for either man for about 25 minutes of this 30 minute ego match. Eye gouge by Bockwinke! Bockwinke gets Lawler in a headlock and runs his face along the top of rope for 20 feet or so burning Lawler’s face on the way. 5 Straight punches by Bockwinkle followed by two head slams into the turnbuckle. Lawler no sells the last one and pulls the strap on the singlet down. Lawler is now throwing lefts and rights faster than Muhammed Ali. Ref Jerry Calhoun tries to get Lawler off Bockwinkle but Lawler shoves him. Again, Calhoun tries to break the two apart but Lawler shoves him again! WHAM! Bockwinkle throws a big haymaker at Lawler but Lawler ducked and Calhoun got nailed. Lawler hits Bockwinkle with another right hand. Bockwinkle is down until Lawler grabs him by the hair. Piledriver by Lawler. Lawler to the middle rope. Fist Drop! Bockwinkle is out of it. Lawler covers Bockwinkle but there is no ref. Lawler starts to count. 1… 2… 3. Calhoun calls for the bell. Jim Ross: Jerry Lawler has beaten his nemesis right here in the Superdome! Jerry Lawler has pinned Bockwinkle. Lawler is still the UWF champion! The ref is talking to the ring announcer and then walks over to Nick Bockwinkle and raises his hand! Ring Announcer: Your winner due to disqualification caused by Lawler shoving the ref is Nick Bockwinkle. The fans gasp but Lawler simply raises his belt above his head as he knows he is still the champ

I should I have seen Abdullah and Brody going after each other.

Nice SNME and I really enjoyed the Hogan interviews here with the Audit You comment. Windham and Santana will make a nice team here! After running around the game as a babyface team, it is interesting to see in the Fab Ones can survive as a heel team in a crowded WWF tag division.

10/26/1985: CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE UWF UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION: JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER UWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE ROAD WARRIOIRS UWF NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION: STEVE “DR. DEATH” WILLIAMS UWF UNITED STATES CHAMPION: HACKSAW BUTCH REED UWF U NITED STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: MIDNIGHT EXPRESS Hello again everybody. Welcome to Crossfire! I am Lance Russell along with my partner, Dave Brown. We are coming to you today from the McKenzie Arena on the campus of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Well, I known that we should not be shocked but Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express are at it again. We are about to show you a video from last week’s United States Tag Team Title match with the Southern Boys. (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) We do want to warn you, that this video is extremely upsetting and we understand if you wish to turn away for a moment. VIDEO: Beautiful Bobby Eaton throwing a fireball into the face of Steve Armstrong and he is rolling around on the ground in crazy pain as the ref is wildly calling for the bell. When the video is over Jerry Jarrett is at the interview desk saying that he is once again disgusted by the actions of Cornette and the Midnight Express. He is discussing the idea to suspend them when Cornett comes flying out threatening all types of lawsuits from Mother’ lawyers. Jarrett seems that he could care less. All of a sudden, the crowd explodes as Bob Armstrong comes out and Cornett begins to cower behind Jarrett. Bob is really upset and explains that Steve will be out of action for a few weeks and therefore the United States Champions will not be able to participate in Halloween Howl. To the shock of everyone, Armstrong asks that if Jarett could rethink the suspension. Jarrett seems confused until Bob says that it was his family that was wronged and he would like the chance to get revenge….. tonight! He wants the Midnight Express in the ring tonight against him a mystery partner while Cornette is handcuffed to Tracy Smothers. Jarrett accepts and Lance Russell really hypes up our impromptu main event. MATCH: TOMMY RICH & AUSTIN IDOL WITH RON FULLER DEFEATS JIMMY FUNK SMITH & TOM PAGANO At the interview desk, Ron Fuller is excited for Halloween Howl and the $50,000 Rich and Idol are about to win; not to mention the World Tag Titles. All of a sudden, Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden come out and the tension rises. Robert Fuller and Golden let everyone know that the Family Feud is on as they are going to face the Fuller Fab Ones in the first round and he can’t wait to send his brother home a loser. Rich and Idol step towards Fuller and Golden but Ron tells them to wait to Halloween. Robert and Golden step to the crowd making chicken noises. WHAM! Rich, Idol and Ron Fuller attack and the beating is on. It is clear that the Fuller Fab Ones know that if Robert and Jimmy don’t make it to Halloween, they will have an easier road to the money. They only thing that stopped this attack was a commercial break. COMMERCIAL Jerry Lawler has joined Lance Russell where he is informed that Nick Bockwinkle has accepted his invitation for a UWF World title shot at Halloween Howl! Jerry Lawler: If Bockwinkle thinks he is coming here and taking the UWF title home with him, he is completely out of his mind! Hey, I might just be on to something. Nick Bockwinkle is mindless and that just might be okay as he might not feel the pain I am going to inflict on that arrogant pompous ass at Halloween Howl! I beat him for the title in 1982 and I am going to beat him again. Lance Russell: I understand King why you are upset but please remember this is a family show and watch your language. MATCH TERRY TAYLOR DEFEATS “DANGEROUS” DANNY DAVIS IN UNDER 2 MOINUTES WITH THE CHICKENWING While the match was going on Ernie Ladd and Hacksaw Butch Reed were at the interview desk scrutinizing every move and explaining why Terry Taylor can’t beat Hacksaw Reed for the Ubited States title at Halloween Howl! Ernie Ladd: Look at him! Terry Taylor is nothing but a pretty boy. He is just a piece of candy for the ladies to eye ball. Well after Halloween Howl, Taylor will look like he just won scariest mask at the costume party. Hacksaw Butch Reed is a natural! The Natural! Terry Taylor you are about to run into a natural disaster. As soon as the match ends, Taylor comes to the desk but wrestlers and refs poor out from the back to keep everyone apart! MATCH DIXIE DYNAMITE DEFEATS TOMMY GILBERT WITH A SUPERKICK FOR HIS FIRST WIN HERE ON CROSSFIRE COMMERCIAL MATCH DIRTY WHITE BOY WITH RON FULLER DESTROYS LEO SEITZ WITH A BUCKSNORT BLASTER. At the interview desk, the Dirty White Boy spends all his time making everyone know that he is the baddest dude ever to come from Bucksnort, Tennessee and Jimmy Golden better watch out if he gets his hands on him. MATCH: THE BRUISE BROTHERS (PORKCHOP CASH & MAD DOG BOYD) & THE KIWI SHEEPHERDERS WRESTLE TO A 10 MINUTE DRAW. This match was a brawl from beginning to end and that was fine with everyone involved. None of them are very technically sound but enjoy the rough stuff. Even though they did not get the win, this did a lot to raise the status of the popular Bruise Brothers. COMMERCIAL MAIN EVENT THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS VS BOB ARMSTRONG & A MYSTERY PARTNER (JIM CORNETTE IS HANDICUTFFED TO TRACY SMOTHERS) The Midnight Express come out to their typical techno music but it is obvious they are distracted. They know Cornette will not be there to help them and they have no clue who Armstrong’s partner will be. As they come to the ring, we see that the mystery guest is wearing a mask and is introduced as Mr. R. As for the match, it deteriorates right away. As Cornette is being handcuffed to Smothers, Bobby Eaton comes off the top rope all the way to the floor for an Alabama Jammer on Smothers. This leads to all 4 real competitors in this match fighting all over the arena. What was most memorable here in this match that was declared a no contest was when the camera caught Mr. R squared off with Eaton. Mr. R ducked under a right hand and then laid Eaton out in one punch. Mr. R then continued to stomp on Eaton as Lance Russell say, “As far as I am concerned Dave, the Midnight Express deserve everything they are getting right now. Lance Russell: Well, I wonder who this Mr. R is but he certainly has it out for the Midnight Express. Don’t forget to join us in the Superdome on Halloween Night. So long from Chattanooga.

Great TV show here as it hypes up future events. Vancouver and Montreal are going to be hot!

Yes, enjoying the Kabuki angel and did not remember his babyface run. Nice addition with the interviews on your TV show.
