Wow... Superclash is going to be great!! The Elimination Match really has my interest. Also, can't wait for Orndorff vs Hansen. I bet all the girls can't wait for the Fantastics vs The RnR Express!! This one will have some sort of crazy ending I bet. Awesome job with Nikita and Debeers. I think Ivan and Nikita were great but Debeers and Nikita would have even been better. Nice arrival for the Anvil. I always liked him. I also enjoyed the smack by Leo Burk on Tommy Jammer... great way to get some heat but also a great way to put the cocky young guy in his place. Fun segment.

Looking forward to Future Shock and the direction of WCW

Memphis adds Mike Sharpe, Pez Whatley and Steve Lombardi

You always have such great answers to my questions. Thanks for the info.

Sorry for falling so far behind. The U-Cosmos tournament is really entertaining. The videos you added were a great addition. Vader really seemed to crush Takada. Was wondering if people like Vader did promos over there with the language issue and all. Would love to see all the Americans as heels... just to see the opposite as here.

Memphis will add Sean Royal and Chris Champion

Great plan. Good luck and enjoy!!!

Really exciting show from start to finish. Using BJM in this role is a great choice. Between his size and history in Florida, people better listen. Gorgeous and Precious had their egos put in place here tonight. Will be interesting to see where this goes. The segment with Graham and Mando was so well done. It had it all from great wording of the interviews to BJM to the match to the arrival of Hector and Chavo and then the feud started between the Armstrongs and the Guerreros. Awesome booking! All the matches did a nice job of moving your angles forward and really looking forward to next week with the bog match/big stipulations between the Armstrongs and the Guerreros. Thanks for such a great read.

AD was Frenchy Martin on your roster before? I had him listed in free agency and LastStopTour picked him up. If he was on yours prior to him joining, I will let him know.

To all those readers of Dawn of War, who have been thinking of giving this hobby a try, please contact me. I have an interesting idea that would require a second writer.

Thanks for all your work with the NWA... I hope you enjoy the WWF.

Great first show. The interaction with Gossett and the women had me cracking up. Really good writing here!! Nice job introducing all the main characters to us. You have a knack for some town promotions and make them seem so realistic and cool. Great job.

Wow... these fans got 15 great matches. What a way to get them hooked on live events. Great hype for the PWF. Love how the tournament hyped up all your angles! Nice job keeping the Florida feel with many of the past Florida stars staying hot. Kabuki with the mist... Mike Graham was willing to fight even though he was blind... Windham all the way to the finals... Humperdink with a hand in everything... and a Funk on top. Really fun read. Good choice with the Southern Rockers!! This team will keep all the girls happy.

Thanksgiving Night: November 28, 1989 USWA TITLE MATCH Eric Embry vs The Assassin (Don Bass in a mask) Eric Embry continues to take on all comers as he is giving away nearly 70 pounds to the Assassin. In this match, Embry continues to win over the crowd with his never quit attitude. No matter what the Assassin did, Embry was right back and ready to fight. The Assassin became frustrated and tossed Embry through the middle ropes and out onto the floor. Ref Jerry Calhoun admonished the Assassin and then went over to the ropes to check on Embry. The Assassin took this time to load his mask with some type of object…. As Embry staggers through the middle ropes…. WHAM… loaded head butt by the Assassin. The count… 1…2…2 ¾ …. Somehow Embry kicks out. The Assassin is in the face of the ref who keeps telling him it was only a count of 2. From behind, Embry, who now is bleeding profussily from the head, smashed the Assassin, loaded mask first into the turnbuckle. The Assassin falls straight back like he is knocked out…. Even though we can’t tell with the mask in…. The count…. 1…2…3! The fans love how Embry managed to win this match! WOMEN’S MATCH Madusa vs Terri Poch Memphis has not yet gotten into the Women’s revolution but if they are going to push this aspect of the sport, they got a great duo to hype up the crowd. Not only are these two powerful, athletic and have a nice array of skill, they are both very easy on the eyes! In the end, Medusa gets the win with a spinning heel kick followed by the big German Suplex. “The Fab One” Steve Keirn vs “The Dirty Dutchmen” Dutch Mantel These two have been at each other’s throats for about 3 weeks now as Mantel laid some heavy insults on Keirn and Keirn answered with some heavy fists. Again, Dutch comes to the ring in his usually gear which includes Shoo Baby…. And again, Eddie Marlin has a person come and remove the Bull Whip to the back. Dutch can complain all he wants to, but Eddie Marlin is going to hold to his guns… No Weapons! As for the bout, a nice back and forth match between two guys who can both sell and bump with the best. Keirn starts with some technical wrestling but Dutch quickly turns this into a brawl. Unfortunately, the brawl spilled into the crowd and never returned to the ring resulting in a Double -Count out. TRI-STATE TITLE MATCH The Dirty White Boy © vs Brad Armstrong Nobody really knows if either man is truly injured as we head into this title match. The DWB has been wearing a forearm brace for months now and while he claims it’s due to an injury, most believe it is more like a crutch then a brace as he uses “the loaded arm gear” as a weapon whenever he seems to be in trouble. As for Brad Armstrong, many believe his “car accident” was just an invented story by Eddie Marlin to allow him to even the odds as he is wearing a giant cast on his right arm. As for the match, Brad uses his wrestling skill to control the opening segment before the DWB takes the match to the gutter. We see the DWB fondling with his brace apparently “loading it up.” He comes off the ropes for the forearm smash…. Brad ducks under it and hits the ropes… WHAM… a huge right hand by Brad with the heavy cast and down goes the DWB. 1…2…3! Brad Armstrong wins the Tri-State Title….. Brad is now ripping at the forearm brace of the DWB. He has it off and reaches inside…. He pulls out a large metal plate! The crowd boos the DWB and then they cheer as ref Jerry Calhoun hand him his new title! UWF TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH CAJUN STREET FIGHT Doom (Hacksaw Butch Reed & Ron Simmons) with Teddy Long vs Greg “The Hammer Valentine & Honky Tonk Man with Jimmy Hart In a strange twist, we get the UWF tag team champs, Doom, putting their title on the line against a CWA team. This has more to do with the nation-wide hatred of Jimmy Hart than the recent alliance between the two new promotions. All four wrestlers come to the ring in jeans with the only apparent weapon being Honky Tonk Man’s guitar which he has promised to use. Doom is all over the First Family as this bout gets started. We see both Reed and Simmons rip off their belts and use them as whips. The sound of this leather smashing against the backs of Valentine and HTM is music to the fan’s ears. Jimmy Hart tries to get involved but Teddy Long is ready for him and the two managers begin to go at it. After catching a few shots from Long, Jimmy Hart scampers around the ring with Long in hot pursuit. Jimmy, running for his life, actually goes under the ring. Teddy looks for him but comes up shrugging his shoulders. While all of this is going on, HTM who is not the legal man in the ring goes for the guitar. Ron Simmons has some sort of nerve hold on the traps of Greg Valentine. Honky Tonk Man comes in from behind with the guitar… WHAM… Reed with a running knee to the HTM…. The guitar goes flying. Simmons releases the hold and we go all 4 men in a wild brawl. From under the ring…. Jimmy Hart comes out with a large white towel. Reed throws HTM through the middle rope and follows him out onto the floor. Greg Valentine scoops up the guitar. WHAM…. Valentine smashes the guitar over the head of Simmons. Simmons staggers a few steps before falling to the ground. The Cover…. 1…2… somehow Simmons kicks out! The Hammer grabs the leg of Simmons…. Figure Four!! Hammer is grabbing the ropes, arching his back, amping up the pressure. Simmons is struggling. Without Teddy Long noticing, Jimmy Hart has come up from behind him… Suddenly a white towel comes flying into the ring…. Jimmy Hart, like a cockaroach, slithers back under the ring. Ref Jerry Calhoun looks at the white towel… looks at the trouble Simmons is in, gives a look at Teddy Long who does nothing as he has no idea what happened. Calhoun now looks to the other side of the ring where Jimmy Hart is now standing… Jerry Calhoun puts it all together and calls for the bell. Everyone seems to be confused… everyone but Jimmy Hart who has crawled all the way to the other side of the ring is screaming and pointing at the white towel. The ring announcer explains …. With have new UWF Tag Team Champions as Teddy Long has thrown in the white towel causing his tag team to submit! Long is screaming in denial but Jerry Calhoun just shrugs his shoulders, points to the towel and hands Greg Valentine and the HTM the UWF tag titles. BOOTCAMP MATCH Sgt. Slaughter vs Tarzan Goto & Tojo Yamamota Both men come to war ready for war. Sgt in complete military gear including combat boots and his riding crop. Goto has both fists taped and is carrying his bamboo stick. And a war it is… both men are bloodied in this patriotic battle of East vs West. Eventually, Sarge connects with the Cannon Lariat and then locks in the Cobra Clutch… Tarzan is struggling but soon collapses into a sitting position. He is starting to go out. The ref is checking and lifts the arm of Tarzan and it falls to his side…. 1 …. The ref lifts the arm again and it fails again…2…. WHAM…. Tojo from behind….with the bamboo stick. Over and over again, Tojo is beating Sarg with the cane. The fans are screaming in anger but there is nothing he can do in this NO DQ match. Suddenly, a large man about 6’6 with blonde hair, wearing jeans comes out of the stands. Security goes to stop him but he shoves them out of the way. He is now in the ring where he grabs the bamboo stick from Tojo and clobbers him over the head with. Tojo staggers out of the ring. He checks on Sarge he seems to be in pain but ready to fight. Tarzan is staggering to his feet… The big man hands the bamboo stick to Sarge and then stands guard to make sure Tojo doesn’t come back in… WHAM…WHAM… WHAM… Sarge with repeated blows on Tarzan with the bamboo stick. Sarge, then goes back to where we were before the chaos started. He locks in the Cobra Clutch. This time… ref Jerry Calhoun raises and drops the big Asian’s hand three times and calls for the bell giving the win to Sgt. Slaughter! Slaughter embraces the big blonde and it is obvious that these two know each other. The fans are very interested but are going to have to wait until next week on TV. SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH (WILL BE WRESTLED AS A 6-MAN TAG MATCH) FIRST BLOOD ELIMINATION MATCH The Freebirds with Jimmy Golden vs The Studd Stable with Buddy Roberts As we all know, nothing technical in this match so lets just get to the eliminations…. First…. Sid Eudy military press slams Jimmy Garvin into the announce table cutting his head…. Next… In a surprise elimination, Sid Eudy dove at Jimmy Golden who had been whipped into the corner post outside of the ring. Golden moved at the last minute and Eudy hit the ring post… blood from mouth. Next… Jimmy Golden slams on a chair into the temple of Robert Fuller and busts his forehead open. Next… Even though Fuller had already been eliminated, he staggered up from the chair shot by Golden, reached into his tights and pulled out a small chain. He grabs Golden by the shoulder and spins him around…. WHAM… multiple chain shots to Golden his is now showing blood from a few different spots. This leaves Michael Hayes and Buddy Roberts… two original Freebirds… fighting for the Southern Titles… fighting for blood! We get a pretty good brawl with some actually wrestling moves but No Blood! Finally, Buddy Roberts nails Hayes with a backbreaker and goes to the top rope for a bib elbow drop. He leaps off but Michael Hayes puts his knees up and catches Roberts in the gut! Roberts is rolling around in pain as Hayes drags him up by his hair. WHAM… Running Bulldog by Hayes… Roberts is in trouble…. Hayes whips Roberts into the corner and rushes in after him. He leaps onto the second rope and starts throwing haymaker after haymaker. The crowd is counting the blows. 1…2…3…6…7…8… Hayes pauses checks Roberts… NO BLOOD Hayes, frustrated, snaps Roberts to the floor and puts a knee into his back in almost a rear chinlock. Michael Hayes just starts savagingly clawing at the forehead of Roberts. He is ripping layers of skin off. This just looks so personal!!!! Buddy Roberts is now bleeding with color dripping down his entire face. The ref calls for the bell as the Freebirds survive this bloody war! HAIR VS TITLE MATCH SOUTHERN TITLE MATCH Jeff Jarrett © vs Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart & Missy Hyatt (If Jarrett wins, he gets to shave the head of Jimmy Hart) First thing, as soon as this match gets under way, Teddy Long rushes out and continues his chase of Jimmy Hart. Missy Hyatt was unsure of Long’s intentions and hid in the corner as Jimmy Hart rushed up the exit ramp with Long in pursuit! As for the match, the dirty tactics of Gilbert and Hyatt had JJ scrambling from the beginning. This was a very similar match to their last battle in the Mid-South Coliseum where Gilbert’s confidence was growing and growing. At one point, Eddie was so sure he had the title won that he called Missy Hyatt up on the apron for a long kiss… To Gilbert’s shock, JJ kicked out. Gilbert is fuming and drags JJ up and nails Gilbert with the Hot Shot Suplex but again, to his shock JJ managed to get out of trouble as he got his foot across the bottom rope. Missy Hyatt is up on the apron screaming at ref Jerry Calhoun…. WHAM… A frustrated Gilbert dragged JJ up and went for another Hot Shot Suplex but when he dropped JJ’s legs across the top rope, they landed on Missy, and she went flying. This caused the Hot Shot to fail and JJ just rolled off the top rope onto the mat. Eddie, by the ropes, looked out at Missy he was rolling on the ground…. FROM BEHING, JJ with the roll up and maybe with a fast count… ref Jerry Calhoun completes the three count. JJ is still the champ and its time to shave the head of Jimmy Hart…. But…. Where is Jimmy Hart. He must now get his hair cut but he is nowhere to be seen. Suddenly the crowd erupts as Doom and Teddy Long are dragging Jimmy Hart back to the ring. The ref hands the clippers to JJ but first he goes over to shake the hands of Teddy Long, Hacksaw Butch Reed and Ron Simmons. The fans realize that babyfaces are babyfaces wherever they wrestle, and heels are heels. It is great to see the cooperation between the UWF and the CWA to fight a common enemy. The shaving of the head of Jimmy Hart commences as Hart has no choice but to sit there. Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt are throwing a hissy fit but there is nothing they can do with Doom acting as security guards. When it is over, Teddy Long pulls out the white towel, presumably the one used to trick the ref into giving the First Family the UWF tag titles. It looks like he is going to give it to Hart so he can cover his bald head…. But just before he hands it to Hart, he pulls it back and tosses it into the crowd. The crowd loves this karma and Jimmy Hart, trying to be covered by Gilbert and Hyatt makes the walk of shame… as bald as a cue ball! USWA TITLE MATCH Jerry “The King” Lawler vs “Mr. Perfect” Curt Henning This one is pretty easy to write as it is everything you would expect. Both men put on a great show with many momentum changes, lots of bumping, selling and near falls. The only problem is that it goes the 60-Miunte Time Limit, and we do not get a winner. The crowd is disappointed as they were so close to exploding time and time again as Lawler was inches from winning the title. The one thing that nobody knows is what is going to happen to the USWA title. Both wrestlers demanded that the match continue but the ring announcer came on and announced that the match couldn’t go any further as we were up against the 11:00 curfew put in place by the City Counsel for events at the Midsouth Coliseum. Fans shuffled out knowing they saw a great show but wondering about what they would see this week on TV.

Welcome back. Love how you get the most out of wrestlers who might not be big mainstream names.

Free Agency is back open

Free Agency is currently closed to add a new promotion

Really looking forward to Starrcade! So many great matches with interesting buildups.

Memphis will add back Tim Horner

Episode #7 November 23, 1989 The traditional CWA opening is played with some music being played as we see all the big stars of Memphis past hitting big moves. Lance Russell: Yellow again everybody. Lance Russell and Dave Brown here for Championship Wrestling. By golly we’ve got a great week instore for everyone as this Thursday, Thanksgiving Night, at the Midsouth Coliseum we will crown the first ever UWSA champion as Jerry Lawler and Mr. Perfect, Curt Henig square off in a 60-hour time limit battle for the ages. Dave Brown: That is going to be some match as those might just be the two best wrestles in the world…. And besides that match, the fans will be treated to 7 other spectacular matches including Sgt. Slaughter facing Tarzan Goto in a Boot Camp Match and then for the Southern Tag Team Title we will actually have a 6-Man First Blood Elimination Match between the Freebirds with Jimmy Golden and the Studd Stable (Fuller & Eudy) with Buddy Roberts. Lance Russell: Fans the rest of that magnificent card will be revealed during this hour were you will see 5 great matches. First it will be the Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine vs The Batten Twins. Then we will see Brad Armstrong vs “The Hustler” Rip Rogers. The Freebirds will face the Guerreros in a great tag team battle. In the main event, it will be Jerry “The King” Lawler vs Eddie Gilbert with the USWA title shot at WresteWar on the line… and in our TV time remaining match, it will be Tarzan Goto returning from his suspension as he faces off with Sam Houston. So, let’s not wait any longer, the timekeeper is ready to go! MATCH #1 Honky Tonk Man & Greg “The Hammer Valentine” with Jimmy Hart defeat The Batten Twins after HTM connected with the Shake Rattle & Roll on Bart Batten. Lance Russell: First of all, congratulations on a very impressive win and…. Suddenly two large black men come out to the podium wearing title belts around their waist. Lance Russell: Now hold on…hold on just a minute… Folks, I’m not sure you know who these two men are but these are the UWF Tag Team Title holders… Hacksaw Butch Reed and “All-American” Rron Simmons. Now I’m not sure why they are here right now but we need to keep some level of decorum. Hacksaw Butch Reed: Jimmy Hart … we know all about you and aint none of it good. You’re a liar… your as crooked as they come. I was with Jerry “The King” Lawler down in Georgia a few months back and he’s one stand up guy. He knows the difference between right and wrong and what you did to him is simply wrong. Well, my brother here Ron Simmons and I saw the video of how you all attacked him and we said if we ever got the chance, we’d help the King even the score. Ron Simmons: Mr. Russell, that chance came a few weeks ago when we found out about the merger between the CWA and the UWF. We went to Mr. Watts down there in Louisiana and asked him if it was alright if we put our UWF tag titles on the line against Greg “The Hammer” Valentine and the Honky Tonk Man. At first, he was a little confused but when we explained what they did to the King, he was all for it! So, what do you two suckers say… you two vs us two for the UWF tag titles in a Cajum Street Fight Match. Come as you want… bring anything you want and fight until one team can’t get up before the count of 10! Jimmy Hart: Are you two fools finally though… Are two kiddin me. You two are upset that we beat the crap out of that no-good Jerry Lawler? I mean are you two men our are you two mice. This is professional wrestling baby. This is where the big boys play…. You two might look big but I think that’s just so you’ll will fit into a giant chicken suit… Let me get this straight… You two morons came all the way from Louisiana to give us a title match for a company we don’t even work for? And all we need to do is beat two chumps with a third-grade education…. Hammer… what’d you say. This sounds too good to be true. Reed and Simmons are getting angry and close in, but Lance keeps them from going at it! Greg Valentine: You got that right Jimmy…. I’ve wrestled all the best this business has to offer from Ric Flair to Hulk Hogan and neither of those could keep me down. Now these two clowns are handing us a title shot… consider this a done deal. Honk Tonk Man: Up here in the CWA, we’ve been hearing a whole lot about family lately. Jimmy Golden and Robert Fuller are at each other’s throats. Heck, the Freebirds are ready to destroy each other…. But not me and my family… Not sure if you two jocks with rocks for brains know this but, Jerry Lawler and myself are first cousins…. And to me… Jerry is like Santa Clause. He just keeps on giving. First, because he is so hated around here, I am able to get a job from Jimmy Hart to come down here and kick his sorry butt all over the place…. And now… because of Jerry Lawler…. I am going to become the UWF tag team champions! Wow… thanks, Jerry…. Oh and if you two are smart enough to understand sarcasm…. Yes… we accept your challenge and will be happy to beat you in a Cajum Street Fight where I’ m sure my guitar will play a little chin music! As both teams head off in separate directions, Lance is really glad he was able to keep the peace. COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM MATCH #2 Brad Armstrong vs Rip Rogers Rip is the first to the ring and starts his whole gimmick about looking for a valet in the crowd. The last two times he did this he had some success as he found Elvira and then Miss. Tennessee. Unfortunately, Elvira seems to have vanished and Miss. Tennessee slapped him in the face. This time he comes up empty “just as he thought he would” because the women of Memphis are uglier and fatter then the farm animals on the outskirts of this hick town. Lance just shakes his head in disapproval when suddenly Eddie Marlin comes out and lets everyone know that Brad Armstrong had been in a car accident and won’t be at the match. Lance hopes that Brad is okay and wonders if he will be able to wrestle at WrestleWar as he is scheduled to face the Dirty White Boy for the Tri-State Title. Eddie Marlin hopes to have more information. Rip Rogers comes over and arrogantly as possible thinks this is all made up as Brad Armstrong is just afraid to face him. Eddie Marlin promises that is not the truth and that he has found a replacement for him… None other than Sgt. Slaughter. The crowd explodes as Rip Rogers looks like he is going to have a heart attack. Once the match gets started, it is all Sgt. Slaughter as he wins with the Cobra Clutch! After the match, Slaughter hypes up his match at WrestleWar with Tarzan Goto as he can’t wait to get his hands on Goto and hopes that the maggot, Tojo Yamamota, is dumb enough to get involved! COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM Before our next bout, Eddie Marlin is back out with Lance and he summons for the Dirty White Boy to come to the interview desk. For the past few weeks, Eddie and the DWB have been going round and round about the forearm brace that the DWB is wearing. Eddie Marlin said that the DWB cannot wrestle with it anymore as it’s a weapon. Last week the DWB threatened a lawsuit as he had a doctor’s note saying that due to an injury, the DWB had to wear the brace. Eddie Marlin: Dirty White Boy… while I do not believe your injury is real and that the doctor has been bribed into writing that letter, it’s not a battle that I have time to fight right now. Therefore, I’m going to allow you to wrestle with the forearm brace for now. In fact, I am going to allow any injured wrestler to wear the protection that they need to wrestle in their matches. I think this is best for both the wrestlers and the fans. DWB: Well finally, a decision from Eddie Marlin that makes sense! Suddenly Brad Armstrong comes out to the podium wearing jeans and a sweartshirt. DWB: Well, well, well… if it isn’t the cowardly Brad Armstrong. The one who made up a car accident to get out of his beating in our Tri-State Championship match on Thanksgiving. Go ahead Brad… tell us all that you can’t wrestle this week! Lance: Oh that’s enough of that. This man has just been in a horrible wreck. Are you okay Brad? Brad Armstrong: Thanks Lance. And yes… I’m fine. Just a broken right arm. (Brad takes off the sweatshirt and reveals a huge cast on his right arm that must weigh 10 pounds) Brad Armstrong: Eddie, I did hear your conversation on the way in… With this cast protecting my right arm, I’m good to wrestle the DWB on Thanksgiving for the Tri-State title. The DWB is screaming that this was all a set up and that Brad isn’t really hurt… and the damage he could do to someone with that cement arm he’s got! Eddie Marlin: Sorry DWB… what I do for one wrestle, I have to do for all. Good luck to you both in the Mid-South Coliseum! The DWB follows Eddie off set and is yelling the entire way! MATCH #3 SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH The Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin) with Jimmy Golden vs The Guerreros (Hector and Chavo) The Guerreros have been clamoring for a title match for weeks now and today they finally got it. Both Hector and Chavo gave the Freebirds all they could handle but in the end, it was the fan favorite Freebirds who came out on top after a moment of chaos where the Freebirds managed a double running bulldog on the Guerreros. POST MATCH INTERVIEW: Lance: Well congratulations fellas that was a great win over the Guerreros and now it is on to WrestleWar with the 6-Man Tag team match for your Southern Tag Titles where it is a First Blood Elimination Match. Jimmy Garvin: (Basically screaming) Let me tell ya’ll something. The three of us are real excited… We’re less than a weak away from WrestleWar. And let me tell you something else Mr. Buddy Roberts. ITS…. NOT…. MY…. FAULT…. That you got you’re butt kicked out of the Freebirds but it will be MY FAULT that you don’t win back these Southern Tag Team Titles. I can’t wait to make you bleed on Thanksgiving Night for what you said about my good friend… Michael P.S. Hayes! Michael Hayes: Oh what a wicked web we weave when we try yo deceive… That’s right Buddy Roberts… you are one deceitful jackass if you will. Making up stories about why you’re not with us anymore. About how it’s my fault your not with the greatest tag team in sports today. Never once did I hear you blame your other good friends for your dimise. Never once did I hear you blame Jack Daniels and Johhny Walker of you know what I mean. And let’s not forget that other deceitful creature over there… Mr. Robert Fuller. He goes out there and throws out the back bone of the Studd Stable for pure jealousy…. That’s right he couldn’t handle Jimmy Golden getting all the attention… all the girls so he went out a recruited a walking robot… called Sid Ugly! Jimmy Golden: Michael… that’s okay. I mean I am in a much better place know. I got you two great guys to party with down on Bad Street and I also got the Southern Tag Title. And after Thanksgiving, I will have that low life of a cousin’s blood on my hands! COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM MAIN EVENT USWA WORLD TITLE SHOT ON THE LINE Jerry “The King Lawler” vs “Hotstuff” Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart & Missy Hyatt The match starts will Lawler all over Gilbert but due to some outside interference, Eddie has his time to shine. Back and forth they go with nobody staying on top for more than a minute. The hatred these two have for each other is evident. As we head to the end, Lawler is all fired up! He nails Gilbert with the right hand and climbs the middle rope… Lawler drops the strap of his attire…. Jimmy Hart is in the ring…. Lawler drops down and closes in on enemy #1. The ref tries to get in between them… WHOOOSHHHH…. Jimmy Hart has just thrown a fireball at The King. Thank God it seems to have missed both Jerry Lawler and Jerry Calhoun! Calhoun immediately DQ’s Gilbert as Lawler has Jimmy Hart by the throat. WHAM… Lawler lifts Hart up by his neck and slams him to the ground! WHAM… Gilbert attacks Lawler from behind…. Here comes HTM and Valentine…. Here comes Hacksaw Reed and Ron Simmons! BRAWL…. BRAWL…. BRAWL! COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM As we come out of break, Lawler, Reed and Simmons are screaming about what just went down. At first, Lawler is pretty calm as he gives a few good one liners about how Jimmy Hart better take a few lessons on how to throw a fireball from Freddy Krueger. Next, Lawler warned Gilbert that he better not interfere in his USWA Title Match if he knows what is good for him. Reed and Simmons are even more excited now to get their hands on Greg Valentine and HTM! Next, we see a video replay of last week’s brawl between Dutch Mantel and Steve Keirn and Lance Russell hypes up this feud and let’s us all know that these two will face each other on Thanksgiving at WrestleWar! Finally, the Southern Heavyweight Champion, Jeff Jarrett comes to the podium where Lance reminds everyone that last week, Jimmy Hart and the First Family tried to cut off his hair. Jeff Jarrett: (waving a contract in his hand) Jimmy Hart…Are there no bounds that you won’t cross. You and your man Eddie Gilbert just threw away a chance to be the first USWA World Champion. You two are so focused on getting to Jerry Lawler that you can’t see the forest through the trees. No matter what I say, you and your puny brain won’t get that I didn’t attack you with that fireball on Halloween night. But that is not important. What is important is that last week, you and your goons tried to cut off my hair. Just like usual, you failed. Well, I got an offer for you, Mr. Hart! Let’s see if you got any guts! You seem so focused on people’s hair lately so how about I put my Southern Heavyweight title on the line against Eddie Gilbert with one stipulation… Suddenly Jimmy Hart comes out laughing like a hyena while the fans are foaming at the mouth at what Jimmy Hart just tried to do to The King. Lance Russell: You have some nerve coming back out here Jimmy! Jimmy Hart: You got that right Lance. I got a lot of nerve. The First Family and I are not the least bit scared of Lawler… of Hacksaw Butch Reed and Ron Simmons,,,, or of this long-haired hippie boy next to us right now. Things are just getting better and better for My Family tonight. First, two clowns show up from Louisiana and offer us a shot at the UWF tag titles. Then we came inches from putting Lawler out of wrestling forever and now…. you, Jeff Jarrett are going to put your Southern Heavyweight title, a title that you never earned in the first place, up against the rightful champion… my man… Eddie Gilbert. This is like taking candy from a baby. I mean I knew the education down here was lacking but come on…. (Jimmy quickly signs the contract) Jeff Jarrett: Well I think it is pretty dumb to accept a deal without hearing all of the rules, but you heard him Lance. It’ll be me and Eddie Gilbert for the Southern Title on Thanksgiving and if I win, I get to shave your head bald! Jimmy Hart: You get to do WHAT? (Jimmy quickly scans the contract as JJ struts off laughing). Jimmy Hart is heard yelling all the way back to the locker room. MATCH #5 Tarzan Goto with Tojo Yamamota returned from their week suspension as Tarzan destroys Sam Houston with the finish coming from the powerslam. Tojo Yamamota: Lance Russell …. I owe you apology …. I owe all you an apology! Yes, even you Sgt. Slaughter. We owe you apology. Two weeks from now is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. When my country did so very, very wrong when they attacked Hawaii. Sgt. Slaughter, you have given almost all of your life to protect America. I understand we you angry when I demand respect for myself…. Respect for Tarzan… and most important… respect for Japan. We bombed Hawaii for no reason. Lance Russell: Tojo, I’m not sure what to make of this sudden change but if it’s real, thank you! Tojo: Of course it’s real. I very sorry for Japan’s blowing up Hawaii. What Japan should have done was BLOW UP THIS AWFUL CITY OF MEMPHIS AND ALL YOU STUPID PEOPLE! WHAM… from the back Slaughter nails Tojo. Now we got a huge brawl between Sgt. And Tarzan.

WHAT A NIGHT.... No Holds Barred: The Movie/The Match. This was one of the most creative things in our game since we started. I just knew that Hogan and Nikita had to win the bout. Then when Debeers walked out I thought we were going to get one of his obnoxious promos but instead we get one of the biggest heel turns our game has ever seen! WOW WOW WOW... Nikita and Debeers going after Hogan. Not sure I can wait for Superclash to see what happens with this one. Chicky Starr needs a better plan against the Iceman... I wonder if that means someone to help him? Like the big start for Brutus vs the Allstars.. I wonder if they also get a better plan! Wow... Still in shock about Nikita... so exciting!

First: Episode #2 Rally enjoyed the Southern feel. You are proving that any promotion in Dawn of War can be awesome... it just depends on the writer. Great job getting me really interested really quickly. Very creative in match # 1 with the "Battle of the Feet." Thanksgiving is shaping up to be a huge night at the Fairgrounds with the 16 Man tournament. I can already expect the unexpected with your shows. I have no idea who you are going to put the title on. Dark Journey seems to have a pretty talented stable forming. Enjoyed Price attacking Cannonball and the visual with the surfboard was great. Really fun 4 corners match with Mando and the grab of the tights getting the title. Great comeback by Mando when Mike Graham talked about his family... and Mando quickly put Mike in his place. Loved seeing the tag tournament in St. Pete. I have only been to two shows in my life. One was in White Plains NY where Andre the Giant beat Sgt. Slaughter and the other was in the Bayfront Center in St. Pete where Dusty and Terry Funk went at it. Such awesome memories. Windham and Kabuki seems like the perfect place to start a huge feud! Can't wait to see the arrival of Gorgeous Jimmy TAG TOURNY IN ST. PETE As I said before, expect the unexpected. I truly didn't think the Rich cousins were leaving with the belt! Loved the appearance of Dixie Dynamite! Episode #3 It seems even Cannonball's song has Price on high alert... costing him the match with Afi... great booking and way to hype up the feud. Awesome segment with Graham and Mando. These two names are big in the area and the sport and is a great way to draw in the old fans. Wow.... Mando goes for the Ki.... yourself comment to Mike. This is going to be WAR! HAHAH... Awesome... Gorgeous Jimmy Powers! And by any means necessary.... NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPS. I find this interesting that we get such a short title reign from the Rich's and it is on TV. I think this is great and goes to show everyone that PWF is going to be full of excitement and chaos! That was all a lot of fun to read!

Episode #6 November 16, 1989 The traditional CWA opening is played with some music being played as we see all the big stars of Memphis past hitting big moves. Lance Russell: Yellow again everybody. Lance Russell and Dave Brown here for Championship Wrestling, a member of the USWA, a worldwide leader in professional wrestling. By golly we’ve got a great program for ya’ll tonight. Dave Brown: We do indeed Lance but before we get started, I want to bring “The King” Jerry Lawler out here. Lance Russell: Jerry, I know you know about the merger between the CWA and the UWF. Well, today we received a very important video tape from the UWF and I thought you ought to see it. Video Tape: Curt Hennig: I know all about the CWA. I know all about Memphis. And yes… I know all about Jerry “The King” Lawler. I’m not new to any of this. I grew up in Wrestling. Now Bill Watts and Jerry Jarrett have decided the time is now. Time to combine the two greatest wrestling territories in the United States. So, what do you say Lawler… Me and you in the main event. The King vs Mr. Perfect! The best Memphis has to offer and the best the UWF has to offer! I’ll show everyone that you are not as Perfect as you think. Lance Russell: What do you say about that King? Jerry Lawler: I’ve known the Hennig family a long, long time. I’ve been in the ring with Curt’s father, Larry “The Axe.” I know how good Curt is and I agree that this would be the one heck of a main event at WrestleWar! Of course, I accept the challenge. I’ve never backed down from a challenge in my life and I’m not going to start now. I can’t wait to show the world that Memphis is the best wrestling in the world. I also can’t wait to show Hennig that he’s not perfect! Lance Russell: Well there you have it folks. It will be “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig vs “The King” Jerry Lawler in the main event of WrestleWar. While that may be the match of the decade, let’s not forget about tonight as we have a wonderful show for everyone. Dave Brown: That’s right Lance. We have 5 great matches for you. The Studd Stable will be taking on the Batten Brothers. Rip Rogers will be taking on Eric Embry in a rematch from the Halloween Spectacular. Eddie Gilbert squares off against Brad Armstrong. Dirty Dutch with Shoo Baby at his side will have a tough one tonight against “the Fab One” Steve Keirn and in the main event, Jeff Jarrett will be putting his Southern Heavyweight Title on the line against the Honky Tonk Man. Lance Russell: Dave, that might just be the best lineup we’ve every had on TV. Let’s get to the ring for our first match! MATCH #1 The Studd Stable (Robert Fuller & Sid Eudy) with Buddy Roberts defeat The Batten Brothers as Sid nearly breaks Bart in half with a powerbomb. Post Match Interview Lance Russell: First of all, congratulations on a very impressive win and also on the fact that Buddy Roberts has been officially granted his CWA Wrestling license. I guess we won’t be seeing anymore of the Rebel around here. Robert Fuller: Watch it Lance…. And as for our match tonight… this means nothing. We got bigger fish to fry than beating some twin brothers who share half a brain. Last week we heard from that snake in the grass, my first cousin Jimmy Golden crying about how I left him over there in the Carolinas. About how we are blood and how could I do that to family. Jimmy, this isn’t like when we were little kids …. when you’d get your butt kicked by some guy in class and you’d come crying to me to help you out. This is a business. This is how I make a living, and I can’t have you always being the weak link. Sorry your jealous about the Studd next to me but right now, our goal is getting back our Southern Tag Titles which you helped the Freebirds steal from us! Sid Eudy: That’s right Robert… Freebirds… if you weren’t sorry enough before, now you added the scrawny, no-class Jimmy Golden to your sorry group! Don’t you worry, those titles will soon be back around our waist. Buddy Roberts: Michael Hayes… I haven’t forgotten what you did to me. How you always made Terry Gordy and I do all the work and then you’d claim yourself to be the leader of the Freebirds. How you conned place after place into this Freebird Rule. Instead of two people holding tag titles, you got them to agree to give you a belt even though you never did get in the ring. So how about this… Revised Freebird Rule… All three of you… Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin and Jimmy Golden face us 3 for the Southern Tag Titles at WrestleWar! Robert Fuller: Buddy… you’re on to something there but let’s take this a step farther. We keep hearing Jimmy Golden talking about being blood…. Michael Hayes talking about how the Freebirds are blood family. Let’s make this match a First Blood Elimination Match… that is if the Freebirds and my loser cousin has the guts! Lance Russell: Wow… big challenge from the Studd Stable. I’m sure the Freebirds will be up for the challenge. COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM Lance Russell: Folks, I was just told that before we get back to the ring, Jerry Jarrett has a huge announcement. Jerry Jarrett: Thanks Lance… after seeing the video from “Mr Perfect” Curt Hennig and “The King” Jerry Lawler stepping up to the challenge like we all knew he would, I called Bill Watts down in Louisiana and said to him that there would never a better time to really kick this USWA Alliance into full gear and make this huge main event at WrestleWar for the USWA Heavyweight Title! Watts quickly agreed so there you have it…. Hennig vs Lawler …. 1 Hour Time Limit… to become the first ever USWA Heavyweight Champion! Lance Russell: Wow, Jerry…. What a perfect way to kick off this alliance. Let’s get back to the ring. MATCH #2 Rip Rogers vs Eric Embry This is the first time we’ve seen Rip since Halloween when he left with a big smile on his face as he defeated Embry due to a little from Elvira. Rip has once again come to the ring alone which leads to a few Dave Brown Elvira jokes. Embry is looking for some revenge but Rip tells him to hold on and he starts panning the crowd again looking for a new valet. Lance wonders what really did happen to Elvira but Dave won’t take the bait. Similar to Halloween, Rip struggles to find anyone up to his standards and begins his whole “Women of Memphis are just too ugly” routine when he suddenly stops like he did at Halloween. He seems to tilt his head to one side as he seems unsure. Rip Rogers: You… you lady over there with the cowboy hat on … come up here for a minute. The cameramen closes in a black women who is wearing a cowgirl hat but because of the angle of her hat, we don’t get a full view of her face. She seems to pull the hat down even tighter as she enters to the ring. Rip Rogers: Wow… wow… wow. You seem to have one great body under all those close and while I can’t see that face, you got “the Hustler” really interested. I can tell you’re a little shy with that hat pulled down like that but…. for Memphis…. You’re as good as it’s every going to get. I’ll give you a try tonight to be my valet…. And if it works out, you’re going to be in for the night of your life! WHAM…. HUGE SMACK BY THE LADY! Lady: Not a chance… I’m with him (as she points to Eric Embry) Rip holds his check and starts to laugh. The Lady pulls up the hat and Lance Russell is in shock as its Miss. Tennessee who Lance explains to the crowd is a personally friend of Jerry Lawler and the Jarretts. Rip is shocked as he has had issues with Miss. Tennessee in the past… Embry takes this opportunity to attack Rip and he is all over him and controls the entire match which ends a huge piledriver. Embry and Miss. Tennessee had to the podium… Eric Embry: What goes around comes around Lance. Rip Rogers you might have cheated your way to a win on Halloween, but it seems like you got a lot of Ghosts in your closet. Looking forward to the day you try to have some valet trip me from outside the ring again… just see what Miss. Tennessee Is going to do to her! Miss. Tennessee: That’s right Eric. I’ve had enough of Rip Rogers and his nonsense. I’m not going to stand for him putting down all these great ladies of Memphis. I am on to his game. He is just looking for someone to do his dirty work for him and that certainly isn’t going to be me. COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM This segment starts with a few babyface promos as the Freebirds are excited to put their Southern Tag Titles on the line in a 6-Man First Blood Elimination Match at WrestleWar. Then we get a quick pre-match promo from Steve Keirn who is excited to face Dirty Dutch Mantel who will only be allowed to bring out Shoo Baby as part of his attire and if he uses it, Dutch will be fined and suspended. MATCH #3 Dirty Dutch Mantel vs “The Fab One” Steve Keirn With Keirn already in the ring, Dutch comes out in full character…. Black hat, long tan cowboy coat and of course, his trusty Bull Whip… Shoo Baby! Keirn and Dutch do a little trash talking as the ref orders Dutch to take off his outfit and get ready to wrestle. Dutch removes everything and places his gear on the outside. As the ref calls for the bell, a ring boy of sorts comes and takes Dutch’s attire and starts to head to the back. Dutch sees this and rushes out stops the boy and grabs Shoo Baby! Suddenly two things happen… Eddie Marlin appears and starts arguing with Dutch and the ref starts counting as Dutch is out of the ring. Lance and his microphone pick up the argument between Dutch and Eddie. Eddie Marlin is reminding Dutch of the new policy of no weapons allowed and that it is the ring boys job to bring the attire to the back as Dutch is arguing that he has no right to take his stuff and that he has not used the bull whip since the rule went into effect. DING…DING… DING! The ref has counted out Dirty Dutch! Dutch is fuming and yelling at Eddie Marlin about how he better doing something … that he knows he can beat that bleached blonde loser and day of the week. This causes Steve Keirn, who has already had his hand raised to come over to Dutch and let Dutch know that he is here to fight! Dutch shoves Keirn but Keirn doesn’t back up! SLAP…. Dutch slaps The Fab One and the brawl is on!! Eventually we get some mid-card guys to break up the fight and usher everyone back to the dressing room! Lance Russell: Eddie, I’m so glad someone here enforces the rules. Eddie Marlin: Someone has to do it Lance and I am fine with that somebody being me. Suddenly, the Tri-State Champion, The Dirty White Boy comes out! DWB: Eddie Marlin… you say your fine with enforcing rules. Well I hope you’re okay with enforcing the law also. You see… last week you told me that I could wrestle with my forearm brace and that there were no excuses even though I told you I was injured. Well, you see this piece of paper…. It is from the renowned Dr. James Andewson… and it says that I must keep this brass on when I wrestle or else risk permanently being injured. I promise you that if I get injured because of you, you will not only hear from my doctor but also from my lawyer! As the DWB smirks his way back to the locker room, Eddie seems unsure of what to do! COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM Before our next bout, we get a video promo from the UWF where Sgt. Slaughter is informing everyone exactly what he is going to do Tojo Yamamota and Tarzan Goto in the Boot Camp match at WrestleWar. You can bet there was a lot of “maggot” calling in this promo. Tojo could not respond as he and Tojo were suspended this week for their attack on Lance Russell last week. Lance was not very unbiased in his hope that Sgt. Did exactly what he said he was going to do. MATCH #4 “Hotstuff” Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart & Missy Hyatt vs Brad Armstrong Before the match, Hart, Gilbert and Hyatt stop by the desk. Jimmy is still wearing an eye patch from where he was burned by the fireball thrown by Freddie Krueger. Hart’s focus is demanding that Jeff Jarrett admit that he was Freddy Krueger as everyone say the curly blonde hair popping out and the mask. Eddie Gilbert is upset with Jerry Jarrett who he says gave away his USWA title shot to Jerry Lawler. He claims that the only reason Lawler beat him on Halloween was because of Jeff Jarrett and the Freddy Krueger thing. Eventually, the First Family heads to the ring where Brad is waiting. Give both Gilbert and Armstrong credit, this is a great 5-minute match where both men are bumping and selling like crazy. The problem eventually become apparent … 3 on 1. With Hart and Hyatt keeping the ref occupied, Gilbert is eventually able to do enough dirty tactics that he gets the win with his feet on the ropes for the pin. As the First Family is celebrating, Jerry Lawler comes down and is going to inform the ref about Gilbert’s feet on the ropes. We’ve seen this before and ref Jerry Calhoun has actually restarted a match because Lawler pointed out Gilbert’s cheating. Hart signals for help and the entire First Family comes down and they attack Armstrong and Gilbert. Steve Keirn and the Freebirds eventually rush in and restore order, but everyone seems to have forgotten the cheating and Eddie Gilbert keeps his tainted win over Brad Armstrong. Lawler and Brad are all fired up with Lance Russell and Lawler may have put his foot in his mouth and he says he is willing to wrestle Eddie Gilbert next week on TV with his USWA title shot on the line. You can actually hear a groan from the crowd as they know anything can happen when you add Jimmy Hart to the mix. COMMERCIAL BREAK-WRESTLEWAR PROMO: THANKGIVING NIGHT-MIDSOUTH COLISEUM MAIN EVENT SOUTHERN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Jeff Jarrett © vs Honky Tonk Man with Jimmy Hart With tensions still how from the last match, Lawler tried to stay at ringside during the point but Jimmy Hart so nicely pointed out that Lawler doesn’t have a managerial license and had to leave ringside. Eddie Marlin again appeared and for once, sided with the heels. Lawler did some quick thinking and decided that he would be a ….. guest announcer for the match. And lucky he did! For once, the First Family didn’t care at all about the possible title they could win. Instead, after some unethical tactics by Honky Man which saw he gain an early advantage, Greg Valentine and Eddie Gilbert rushed the ring. The trio held Jarrett by his arms and legs and Jimmy Hart came into the ring where he pulled a pair of scissors from his trouser. With a huge smile on his face, he was about to cut those curly blonde locks that he swore was under the Freddy Krueger mask! WHAM… Lawler from behind nails Hart as he and the scissors goo flying. Steve Keirn and the Freebirds once again rush into save the day as Lance Russell signs off from another chaotic week of wrestling in Memphis.
