6/8/1985: WTBS 9:05-10:05 DALLAS, TEXAS “Yello again everybody. Welcome to USWA Wrestling, a UWF Promotion, from the world’s most famous wrestling arena, The Sportatorium in downtown Dallas, Texas. I am Lance Russell along with Fritz Von Erich. We have a real busy show for you but first Fritz, let’s get to the big news from last week where your partner made a huge announcement that you two have signed a Loser Loses His Company Match. Fritz VonErich: That’s right Lance. On July 3rd at Battleground in the Louisiana Superdome, there will be three 6 Man Tag Matches between wrestlers from Texas and Tennessee. Each match will be a no time limit match and whichever team wins the majority of the matches will win the company for their state. Last week in Memphis, we saw that blowhard, Jerry “The Queen” Lawler call out any wrestler from Texas and low and behold, we were ready for him. We had The American Dream there and he put a pounding on Lawler. Then from out of nowhere, Terry Gordy, I think he is from Chattanooga, come in and try to save Lawler. If I have learned two things in my time in this sport, they are never trust a man from Tennessee and as the Von Erichs keep finding out, never trust a Freebird. We were ready for this sneak attack with Captain Redneck, Dick Murdoch. Lance Russell: What a scene that was! Any other surprises in store for us tonight? Fritz Von Erich: You will just have to wait and see but let’s get right to the ring where my son Mike, who by the way will be in Battleground will be taking on a newcomer to the USWA, Studd Lee. MATCH: MIKE VON ERICH VS STUDD LEE Studd Lee comes out a wearing an orange mask and is doing his best to rile up all the fans. Fritz does notice one thing about Studd Lee and that is his height as he calls the 6’5 newcomer a “long drink of water.” The Dallas crowd does pop as Mike heads to the ring. Studd Lee doesn’t waste any time and goes right to the attack. Mike is forced to wrestle from the bottom here for a while but he eventually gets going and is giving it pretty good to Studd Lee. All of a sudden, another 6’5 guy in an orange mask comes out to ringside and starts to cheer on his “partner.” Fritz and Lance are both confused and concerned for Mike but the youngest of the VonErich’s is wrestling like a man possessed. All of a sudden he catches Lee with a drop kick and Lee rolls out to the floor. We get the old switch-a-roo here as the other masked wrestler rolls back in to the ring without the ref noticing. This new masked man plays injured and surprises Mike with a roll up. He grabs the trunks and get the pinfall. Now both masked men are in the ring given it to Mike. After a few boots, they lift him up and WHAM! A spike piledriver. Mike is hurt and Fritz himself begins to rush to the ring. The two masked men pull off their masks and …. Lance Russell: Oh my God. It is Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden. The Tennessee Stud Stable is in Texas. Has this war no boundaries. Wrestlers are coming from all over Texas and Tennessee to be a part of this historic event. All of a sudden, Kevin and Kerry join Fritz in their pursuit of the Stud Stable but Fuller and Golden escape just in the nick of time! ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- Before our next bout, we here from Fritz and he is fuming mad and says that one thing is for certain, “We are in Dallas tonight and in Dallas …. I make the rules. Right here tonight, The Tennessee Stud Stable will pay the price for their sneak attack on my son! In the main event tonight, we will see the Tennessee Stud Stable vs Kevin & Kerry VonErich! Before our next match, Lance hypes up that main event big time! DINGO WARRIOR with SKANDAR AKBAR VS TERRY ADONIS This is the first time with have seen the Dingo Warrior officially with Akbar and he is dominate in this squash match as the end comes quickly after a Warrior Smash. At the interview desk Lance Russell let’s Akbar and the Dingo Warrior that they seem to have a mounting number of opponents who want a piece of them….. From Jimmy Snuka to JYD to the Road Warriors. Skandar Akbar: It doesn’t matter who wants a piece of Devastation Inc. With my newest member in the Dingo Warrior along with Hacksaw Reed, Ken Patera and Crusher Blackwell we are unstoppable. It is not us who should be worried. It is the entire UWF who should be worried. Mark my words, Skandar Akbar and his men will control all of the gold in a very short time! The crowd pops as Jimmy Snuka appears and says that he is sick and tired of Akbar and his big mouth. Akbar warns him to watch his mouth or he is in for a world a hurt. Snuka seems ready for the challenge and gets right in the face of Dingo. The Warrior doesn’t back down but Akbar wants to make sure his newest member doesn’t get embarrassed here by Snuka so he calls the rest of the stable (Reed, Patera and Blackwell) Snuka just laughs and tells Akbar that he is going to need a lot more than that! Skandar Akbar: For you? You are crazier than I thought. WHAM!!! From out of nowhere come 2 of the biggest Samoans you have ever seen and even though it is 4-3, Snuka and his pals seem to be in control. The interview area is a mess as bodies and debris are scattered all over the place. Lance and Fritz rush us to break in hopes of regaining order. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH: UWF WORLD TV TITLE MATCH ICEMAN PARSONS VS MAN MOUNTAIN LINK A pretty good match that had a little back and forth but the champion connected with his Butt Bump for the victory. Iceman gives a quick interview where he tells us how he wants to be a fighting champion and take on all challengers. This is where Rip Rogers comes out and says that Iceman is anything but a fighting champion and it is proven by the fact that he won’t give Rip a title shot. Iceman is angry and says that he will fight anybody the UWF puts in front of him and if Rogers wants a title shot, he needs to earn it the eyes of the UWF Board of Directors. Rip Rogers: If he clucks like a chicken, it is a chicken! Iceman is so angry he just simple walks away. Rogers takes off his boot and clocks Iceman over the head and Iceman hits the ground hard. All of a sudden, the USWA Heavyweight Champion, Jimmy Garvin, rushes out with a bucket of something and a pillow case. Together they dump the entire bucket over the Iceman. Lance Russell: What in the Sam Hill is in that bucket? Ohh,ohh no. I think it is Tar. Now Rogers is dumping the pillow case over Iceman and it was full of feathers. Do you believe this? Rogers and Garvin have just Tarred and Feathered the UWF TV Champion. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH: THE FABULOUS ONES with BABY DOLL VS THE KINISKI BROTHERS Now this might be the hottest team in all of the USWA and by hot we mean looks. The Tuxedo and Top Hot Strip Tease by the Fabulous Ones and the tight leather pants on Baby Doll have women and men alike in heat. As for the match, we get the usual Fab Ones match here. A quick start followed by a little trouble followed by a quick finish. The end came when Lane nearly took the head off of Kelly Kiniski with a Super Kick! At the interview desk, Baby Doll, Lane and Keirn all took turns bashing Jim Cornette, his mother and the Midnight Express. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MAIN EVENT MATCH: THE TENNESSEE STUDD STABLE VS KEVIN & KERRY VON ERICH It seems like this is getting a little predictable. A complete brawl between the Tennessee and Texas factions followed by a run in by one side or another. Even though the concept is predictable the names are not and the fans are loving it! The show ends in one huge riot. The Texans were once again on the short end of the stick as the numbers game finished 8-7 in favor of Tennessee. The usually suspects of Rich, Gilbert, HTM, Jerry Lawler, Terry Gordy were on hand but newest member to Battleground for Tennessee was Ricky Morton! All of a sudden Fritz could not take it anymore and hit the ring. Now it was 8-8 and the Texans regained control of the ring as the Sportatorium crowd went wild. Lance Russell: I must admit that I have never seen anything like this. This is a fast becoming the War to end all Wars! Battleground in the Louisiana Superdome is less than a month away but I am not sure this company can survive like this until then. So long from Dallas!

I agree with Edger. Great card! I think anytime you have the King in Tennessee he is a show all by himself.

Oh where could Women be?

He is not on the free agent list and don't believe he is on a roster. He is yours

Love all the match ups. Was the factions your idea or something Japan did before?

Oh the Bayfront Center. Brings back such memories. I used to go to Spring training when I was a boy to see the Mets right across the street at Al Lang Stadium. Used to see the bill boards advertise all the Florida greats like the Briscos, Rhodes and Sullivan but I never got a chance to go. Any way, another great show here. Like the push the Nightmares are getting here and thought that Mulligan was a great match for Idol. Bringing in Kendall adds a lot of possibilities to your promotion also.

Wow, that's a lot of action for one show. I like the idea of Chicky's Sports Shop. I find this interview segments to be great at getting the audience involved.

WOW,WOW,WOW.... what an expansion into Florida. May the real Women please show up ..... and she does with the Golden Spike! Many of us have tried to use Adrian Street with little success and you have perfected him. Weel, as Dusty says, David is in some trouble but CCW and the UWF are in a great place thanks to your creative writing.

Japan seems to be about a decade ahead of the USA. The creativity is great.

That was a fun read! Terry Taylor's turn gives you a babyf ace STAR and they are hard to come by. USA VS USSR always sells. Smirnoff may not be the best of all the "Russians" but any serves the purpose and it would always sell. Bruno as the savior is cool but if I was MACW and SMW, I would be nervous..... is WWF sending in a spy?

Nikita deserves a serious shot here. He used Piper as a stepping stone and Hogan better watch his back. Nice job here with all the moving pieces on your roster. WWF in transition but always in good hands.

I agree with Gene. I enjoyed the Perez-Foley bout here but I think the best bout would be Rose vs Henig. Two great workers

The show begins with a short video clip from Continental Championship Wrestling and the Rocket City Rumble in Huntsville, Alabama. Sammartino stops Arcidi from interfering a couple of different times and points it out to referee Ron West who eventually bans Arcidi from ringside….which pops the crowd….at one point Dusty manages to reverse Idol's 'Las Vegas Leglock' and Idol looks to be moments from submitting as Blassie gets up on the apron and distracts Ron West…..as he does this Sammartino reaches in between the ropes….and buries his fingers in Dusty's eyes until he breaks the hold….Dusty is momentarily blinded but lunges towards Sammartino who blasts Dusty with a big right hand that staggers him backwards into a school boy roll up from Idol as Blassie gets down off the apron….West sees the pin….1-2-3!! AUSTIN IDOL IS THE NEW UWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!! 6/2/1985: WTBS 9:05-10:05 SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA UWF UNIFIED WORLD CHAMPION: AUSTIN IDOL NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION: HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN UWF WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE ROAD WARRIOIRS UWF WORLD 6 MAN CHAMPIONS: TOMMY RICH, EDDIE GILBERT & HONKY TONK MAN UWF WORLD TV CHAMPION: ICEMAN KING PARSONS Hello again everybody. Welcome to UWF & Mid-South Wrestling from Shreveport, Louisiana and the Irish McNeil’s Boys Club here on WTBS. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is the “Big Cat” Ernie Ladd. Well that’s right folks, we do have a new UWF UNINIFED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION…. AUSTIN IDOL who will be joining us in just a little while but first let’s get to the ring for our first match. MATCH: JYD VS BUZZ TYLER A pretty good match here where JYD got the fans into right away with his dog collar swinging rendition of “Another One Bites the Dust.” JYD tired of Tyler’s dirty tactics and finished up the match when he followed up a series of standing headbuts which a Big Thump. JYD went over to the interview desk where he was congratulated for his victory. All of a sudden the interview was cut short when it was interrupted by Austin Idol and Classy Freddy Blassie. Jim Ross: Wait a minute, Mr. Idol. You will have to wait your turn. Austin Idol: It is always my time. I am the Unified Champion and this boy over here needs to step aside. JYD: Who you calling boy you bleached blonde blowhard. This is my time and you don’t want to get in the way of the dog! Blassie: Listen up you pencil nosed geek…. You are nothing compared to my man here. You are not in his class. You are not worthy of our time. Keep working hard, and maybe, just maybe, we will let you carry our bags. JYD: Now wait a minute…. Blassie: You have wasted enough of our time and now you must pay. WHAM! Teddy Muscles and David Sammartino hit the area and put the boots to JYD. Idol doesn’t even seem to want to be bothered and just stands by the side as Blassie’s henchmen do the work. The crowd roars as the Freebirds hit the scene and help rescue the Dog. Jim Ross takes us to break and he hopes order can be restored when they return. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH: THE ROAD WARRIORS with PAUL ELLERING VS LANNY POFFO & BRETT WAYNE A complete squash match with the end coming when the Road Warriors hit the Doomsday Device on Poffo. At the interview desk, Paul Ellering does most of the talking and it is directed at Skandar Akbar. He is white hot about the match between the Road Warriors and The Sheiks (Patera & Blackwell) last night in Little Rock. Jim Ross informs the fans that the Road Warriors won a monster brawl. And as part of their victory, Ellering was to get 5 minutes alone in the ring against Akbar. Before Ellering could get in the ring, the Dingo Warrior hit the ring and connected with a Warrior Smash on Ellering. Hawk and Animal chased Dingo up the aisle but this left an injured Ellering at the mercy of Akbar! Paul Ellering: Dingo Warrior….. you seem to have made your choice. WRONG CHOICE! You never cross the Road Warriors. Akbar and the rest of you tribe of bandits…. Be on notice…. You are now in a World of Doom! In fact, we are the Legion of Doom! In two weeks in St. Louis… we want you in a steel cage. Titles vs Career! Whoever wins, gets the belts. Whoever loses, must leave the sport of professional wrestling. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH: CHRIS BENOIT VS MAN MOUNTAIN LINK An awkward match where Benoit has trouble maneuvering the big man around the ring. In the end, Benoit claims the victory with a top rope diving headbut. After the match, we see Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death roll out an old lady in a wheel chair. This lady is missing teeth and the viewer is left just wondering what trailer park she came from. Dibiase and Williams who are dressed to the nines are portraying this lady as the mother of Hacksaw Duggan and how it is no wonder that he has no manners and dresses the way he does and goes around carrying a 2 x 4. After about 4 minutes of this angle, Hacksaw can take no more and rushes out swinging that trusty piece of wood. Dibiase and Williams scamper away but this leaves the poor old lady stranded. Hacksaw goes to her aid but it was all a play. As soon as Duggan put down the 2 x 4, the entire Rat Pack comes out and attacks Duggan. Jim Ross is furious at how the Rat Pack used this poor lady. After about a minute or so, the Rat Pack leave the interview area with Duggan face down on the floor. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MAIN EVENT HACKSAW BUTCH REED with SKANDAR AKBAR VS TIGER CONWAY JR. A match between two pretty good athletes here but Reed’s power just is too much. The end comes with a Gorilla Press Slam. At the interview desk, Reed is sick and tired about being passed over for title shots. Akbar seems to change the topic and quickly accepts the Title vs Career challenge that was offered by Paul Ellering and the Road Warriors. Ernie Ladd is excited by this match up but Reed seems a little surprised that Akbar’s focus was not on him as he truly believes he is “the Man” here in Mid-South Wrestling. Jim Ross: So long from Shreveport!

Like the idea of Terry Taylor making the turn here. Poor Nord seems to be unemployed

Great card. So much going on that the fans in Knoxville would all leave happy. I think that the best of 7 tag series is a true main event.

6/1/1985: WTBS 9:05-10:05 MEMPHIS, TENNESSE The show begins with a short video clip from Continental Championship Wrestling and the Rocket City Rumble in Huntsville, Alabama. Sammartino stops Arcidi from interfering a couple of different times and points it out to referee Ron West who eventually bans Arcidi from ringside….which pops the crowd….at one point Dusty manages to reverse Idol's 'Las Vegas Leg lock' and Idol looks to be moments from submitting as Blassie gets up on the apron and distracts Ron West…..as he does this Sammartino reaches in between the ropes….and buries his fingers in Dusty's eyes until he breaks the hold….Dusty is momentarily blinded but lunges towards Sammartino who blasts Dusty with a big right hand that staggers him backwards into a school boy roll up from Idol as Blassie gets down off the apron….West sees the pin….1-2-3!! AUSTIN IDOL IS THE NEW UWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!! Blassie embraces David Sammartino at ringside as Idol grabs the belt and they take off down the aisle as Dusty struggles to get up off the mat….he grabs a mic. Dusty: "David Sammartino….YOU ARE A DEAD MAN BABY!! YOU HEAR ME…A DEAD MAN!!!" “Yello again everybody. Welcome to UWF and USWA Wrestling from Memphis, Tennessee and the WMC Studio. I am Lance Russell and once again I am joined by the young guest announcer, Jeff Jarrett. That’s right folks, with the aid of Freddie Blassie and the son of the legendary Bruno Sammartino, David Sammartino, and Austin Idol has defeated the American Dream to become the UWF Universal Heavyweight Champion. Lance Russell: And wrestling fans that was not the only title to change hands this week. Let’s get right back to the video tape from last week’s event right here in Memphis and the Mid-South Coliseum. A No Disqualification Bout between Kerry Von Erich with Precious vs Jimmy Garvin with Nanny Simpson. The video begins and we see Kerry VonErich wrestling from on top here and catches Garvin with a Tornado Punch and Garvin goes down hard. Kerry follows it up with the Iron Claw and Garvin is in a bad way. All of a sudden, Nanny Simpson rushes in and tries to take Kerry’s head of with the “Loaded Purse.” Precious gets there just in time and knocks Nanny away. Kerry is red hot at Nanny and grabs her. The crowd is going wild as Precious lines up to hit Nanny with the purse while Kerry holds her. WHAM! Precious clocks Kerry right in the head and he goes down like a sack of potatoes. Both Nanny and Precious help Garvin make the cover on Kerry. As we see the ref make the 3 count, Garvin, Nanny and Precious all celebrate in the center of the ring as they are handed the USWA Heavyweight Championship! As the video ends we see Jimmy Garvin and Precious at the interview desk. Jimmy Garvin: Are the VonErichs that arrogant or just plain stupid? I mean 90 days is 90 days. Did Kerry really think Precious would turn on her man? I mean it took us all of 2 minutes to come up with a plan to use her niece, Nanny and for Precious to play the jealous girl! Did that dumb Texan believe someone like Precious would ever be by his side on purpose? Well the title is mine and there’s no way I am given it up! Stupid VonErichs! The funny thing here is the Texas-Tennessee War is so hot that the fans seem pleased here in Memphis that Garvin suckered Kerry! MATCH: JIMMY SNUKA VS RON SEXTON Snuka with an easy win here with the Super Fly Splash! At the interview desk, Snuka is asked about the Dingo Warrior and the idea that he might join Skandar Akbar and his stable of monsters. Snuka doesn’t seem worried and let’s everyone know he has friends to and if this gets bloody, he is ready to go! When asked who his friends are, Snuka simply smiles and tells them to wait and see. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- Lance Russell: Well fans, coming out next is Jerry Jarrett and he has a major announcement for all the USWA fans. Jeff Jarrett: Hi Daddy! Jerry Jarrett: Well it is obvious to all involved that the feud between Tennessee and Texas is reaching a dangerous level. It has been proven that even bloodshed will not solve it. Maybe the problem is not the wrestlers but the two old goats running USWA….. Myself and Fritz VonErich. He has his ways and I have mine and together we are like oil and water. Cowboy Bill Watts has stepped and told us “A House Divided Cannot Stand,” and that if USWA is going to continue to be a part of the UWF, one of must go. That will happen at the next big UWF Super Card on July 3rd. This card is being tabbed as “Battleground” and will take place at the Louisiana Superdome! Along with other huge matches, there will be 3 Six Man Tag Matches consisting of only wrestlers from Texas and Tennessee. Each match will be worth 1 point. First side to get 2 points wins. If Texas wins, I must give up more share of the USWA and if Tennessee wins, Fritz is OUT! Lance Russell: Wow, I have heard of Loser-Leave Town Matches but this is a Loser-Loses his Company Match! Jeff Jarrett: Ummm, Dad are you sure about his? I mean we have big plans. Jerry Jarrett: I am sure and I am excited to announce one of my three teams is headed to the ring right now! MATCH: UWF 6 Man World Champions THE TENNESSE VOLUNTEER ARMY (Rich, Gilbert and Honky Tonk Wayne Ferris) VS BOBBY JAGGERS, MAN MOUNTAIN LINK & THE CUBAN ASSASSIN The Tennessee Volunteer Army gets a huge ovation here in Memphis and after a hard fought match that had some real back and forth to it, we see Honky Tonk get the victory with a Swinging Neck breaker on Man Mountain Link. The Champs spend a quick moment at the interview desk where the thank Jerry Jarrett for choosing them as one of his Tennessee Teams and that they will do the Volunteer State proud! The hope they get to beat those lowly VonErich boys again! ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH: THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS with JIM CORNETTE (Bobby Eaton & Dennis Condrey) VS RANDY BARBER & LANNY POFFO Jim Cornette: Ladies and Gentlemen, there are a lot of mothers in the world but there is only one mother who is the best. That’s right, my mother. I mean it was her funds that bought the Midnight Express! Now you no class ingrates gets to see the greatest tag team in the world today……Beautiful Bobby and Loverboy Dennis…...The Midnight Express. Oh and mother, send my allowance. A total squash match here with the end coming when Condrey launches Eaton into the air for a Rocket Launcher! Back at the interview desk, Cornette is beginning another of his rants about how his team deserves a title match when all of a sudden Baby Doll saunters out. Jim Cornette: Oh brother, not the two tons of mascara again. Baby Doll, I am warning you if you come one step closer I might not be able to control this tennis racket in my hand. Baby Doll: Jim Cornette… any time you got the guts, I will take you on a beat you like that mommy of yours should have done years ago but right now I am out here to let you know that your team is not the greatest. All I had to do was say that I was looking for a team to beat Jim Cornette and his band of losers and within 5 minutes, the teams were lined up at my door…… Jim Cornette: Are you sure that is why they were lined up at your door. I mean look at that outfit you are wearing. Bobby Eaton: Come on. I have had enough of this. I dropped Baby Doll like a …. WHACK Baby Doll smacks Eaton but now she is in some trouble as the Midnight Express begins to close in. The crowd explodes as Jeff Jarrett simply says “There Back.” The Fabulous Ones, Steve Keirn and Stan Lane hit the interview area and go wild on the Midnight Express who scamper back to the locker room with the Fab Ones in hot pursuit. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- Before our main event, Lance Russell and Jeff Jarrett really hype up the return of the Fab Ones and what that means not only for the Midnight Express but the entire tag team division. All of a sudden, Jerry “The King” Lawler comes out and hypes up the fact that Tennessee is going to wipe the floor with the Texas boys at Battleground and that there is no reason to wait until July 3rd. He calls out any wrestler from Texas to come out now and get in the ring with him and he guarantees the match won’t even go 5 minutes. The Memphis crowd goes wild as he heads to the ring where he waits. His gesturing to the locker room is all a ruse as he believes there is nobody here tonight from Texas! He is just so cocky but the crowd loves it. Lance Russell: Oh my God…. Look who is coming to the ring. It is the American Dream. MAIN EVENT: DUSTY RHODES VS JERRY LAWLER A ref rushes out and this impromptu match is under way. A complete and under brawl that sees Dusty get the upper hand. Dusty hits a few Bionic Elbows and the Memphis crowd is seeing their King getting beat from pillar to post. As Rhodes seems on the verge of victory ….. Lance Russell: What in the Sam Hill is this…..? Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy hits the ring. Jeff Jarrett: YES!!! The Big Man from Chattanooga baby! The Tennessee Volunteer Army is getting bigger and bigger. Gordy grabs Rhodes and whips him off the ropes and connects with a huge powerslam! Gordy is bouncing all around the ring just daring Rhodes to get up. Lance Russell: Oh my, what is going on here? Jeff Jarrett: NO Lance Russell: It seems like the Original Texas Outlaws are back together again. It is Captain Redneck, Dick Murdoch. Murdoch hits the ring and meets Gordy in the center of the ring. Haymaker after haymaker are being thrown here. Lawler and Rhodes are back up and the show is going Bonzo Gonzo here. Lance Russell: What a night this has been. This Texas-Tennessee rivalry is getting out of hand. Not sure we can wait to the Louisiana Superdome on July 3rd. So long from Memphis!

Nice work Lowblow... I mean Gene. When in doubt, use the best format out there.

Good work Rain. It is hard to know how quick to push the young talent in the game and you are doing a nice job here of keeping Lex working with some older guys to help guide him.

Just love the style. Your use of American wrestlers makes it more interesting to me as that is what I am familiar with. Love the 3 Way handshake with Lawler, Murdoch and Jumbo. Inoki seems like he has some work ahead of him. The best re able to assume many roles and he should I understand that and go with it. How common was it to see Americans in the 3 final matches? I enjoy it but doe Japan?

With the idea of what is best for UWF and with CCW expanding into Florida, the UWF sends Sir Oliver Humperderdink back to the CCW.

In terms of fantasy booking, it is all how you use a guy versus what his in ring abilities and mic skills truly are. This is one in real like David Sammartino was a bust but in just two days, he has risen to the top of the most hated wrestlers in all of the game! Great job as always.

I love how your TV shows are so much better then the crap WWF put out in the 1980's. Tito and Santana would have been the best match of the decade on TV. I must say that have been having trouble buying Sika as a singles wrestler but that is only because I am stubborn and just see the Wild Samoans but I am sure I will grow to love him as you are a master at promoting things. Hogan must run this gauntlet of heels but I wonder if his toughest opponents are not in the tag division right now.

Enjoyed the series of shows. Not sure if Malenko over II would be an upset at this stage of his career. Funk is hot right now and might deserve a run with Flair but maybe the loss by TA sets him up for a long feud to the title!!

Love the easy to read format. You have done an excellent job putting the right people in the right order.

Wish I was in Huntsville for this one. I thought the card was great as it had a lot of twists and turns. Finally someone has found a use for David Sammartino. Dusty might actually kill him! Something like this propels Sammartino to heights he never reached before.
