Now that's a nice win for Luke Williams!

Very well rounded card! Great Main event. There has been a lot of talk lately in this game about the mixing of stars into tag teams and the breaking up of tag teams into singles matches. It works great both ways. The more we see of the stars, the better the read. Terry Funk is such a promotion changer! Love the way you used him.

USWA is moving Don Kernodle, Cpl Kirchner and Fidel Sierra to a jobber pact and adding Sunny Two Rivers and Loch Ness

Oh how the mighty have fallen..... Greg "the Hammer" Valentine gets hammered by AFA!

Nice use of Hogan to amp up the angle vs OMG. Well written test of strength segment.

The Rocket as the ref... very cool. A Montreal legend must have brought the house down. Do you know if he ever did ref in real life?

USWA drops Mike Miller and adds Killer Brooks

USWA would like Terry Funk for Dec 31

11/2/1984: WTBS 9:05-10:05 NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA “Hello again everybody. Welcome to USWA WRESTLING from New Orleans, Louisiana and the Lake Front Arena. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is the Big Cat, Ernie Ladd.” The show starts by really hyping up Halloween Howl, the recent card in Reunion Arena. We see one of those cool videos set to the music of the day. The video is a 5 minute video montage of all the highlights including The VonErichs winning the World Tag Team Title, JYD regaining the North American Title from Dick Murdoch and Dusty Rhodes outlasting Hacksaw Butch Reed. When the tape ends we see Dusty Rhodes at the interview desk as the fans really explode. Rhodes hypes up Halloween Howl and then he begins talking about what a great time in wrestling it is and how it is great to see groups like the Rat Pack, the Freebirds, and Devastation Inc. without any of the prestigious belts in the USWA. All of a sudden there is a murmur from the crowd….. Jim Ross: oh my, what is this? TERRY FUNK IS WALKING TO THE INTERVIEW desk. Terry Funk: It doesn’t matter to me if I have to wrestle each and every member of the USWA. I am here for one reason and one reason only. To take that belt away from this fat slob next to me and give the USWA a champion they can be proud of Dusty Rhodes: Funk, I knew I smelled something dirty in the studio tonight. I have wrestled you all over this great country and there is no way, I would allow someone like you to be the Champion of this great company. Terry Funk: Let me be the champion? I did not say you were going to let me. You just can’t stop me! You say we wrestled all over this country. That is true but you left out the fact that I beat you all over this country. If you forgot what I am capable of in the ring, why don’t you stay out here and watch my match. It will only be a minute. MATCH: TERRY FUNK VS SCOTT McGHEE Funk goes to the ring with his cowboy hat and bull rope and doesn’t even wait for the bell before he attacks. In less than two minutes, Funk just beats McGhee senseless and gets the pin. That does little to stop Funk who now takes the Bull Rope and begins to tie McGhee to the ring post and then he continues the beating. McGhee is in a real bad way. Dusty Rhodes: I can’t take this anymore. If it’s the Dream he wants, it is the Dream he will get. Rhodes rushes to the ring as Ross lets the fans know that “Business is about to pick up.” Funks turns away from McGhee and meets Rhodes is the center of the ring. The two really go at it before the locker room empties and tries to separate these two stars. As we go to commercial break, Ross guarantees that we have not seen the last of these two. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- As we come out of break, we see Cowboy Bill Watts at the interview desk. Watts informs us that the next USWA wrestling spectacular will be held Thanksgiving week in New Orleans at the world famous Silverdome! Ross and Ladd are in the middle of hyping up this monster event when all of a sudden Baby Doll and the former World Tag Team champions, Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton come out to the desk. Baby Doll is furious and doesn’t mix words. She believes that Madusa Miceli cost her men the World Tag Team belts and that she isn’t going to stand for it. She wants two things. First, because of the interference of Madusa, her men deserve a title rematch tonight! Second, she asks the camera to close in on her and you can tell she means business. Baby Doll demands that Madusa get in the ring with here where she will rid the USWA of the trash that she is. Jim Ross lets us know that Madusa is not due in the arena until tomorrow so we cannot get her answer and also that the rematch between her team and the new World tag team champions, The VonErichs has already been signed for this week in Baton Rouge. The Perfect alliance seems satisfied with the answers and leave the set as Ross takes us to the ring. MATCH: THE FAB ONES VS THE RED SCARE (CUBAN ASSASSIN & IGOR VOLKOLFF) What a match of opposites. Never mind the speed of the Fab Ones vs the power of team evil, the reaction of the crowd towards these two teams is polarizing. The crowd loved the Fab Ones but they despise the Red Scare and the Commie flags they carry to the ring. As for the match, the Red Scare take the early advantage as they attack before the bell but once the Fab Ones regain control, it is all she wrote. They overcome their opponent’s power by finishing it off when Keirn caught Volkolff with a Russian Leg Sweep. Ross hypes of the tag division and reminds Ernie Ladd that the Fab Ones can’t be forgotten and that they are definitely a top contender for the World Championship. Ladd simply states that he believes that they are way overrated. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- When the break is over we see Mike VonErich at the interview desk. Jim Ross reminds us that this is the first time that Mike has been in the TV studio in quite some time due to the vicious attack by Mr. Texas who turned out to be none other than his cousin, Lance Von rich. Mike VonErich: That whole situation has made me sick. I mean family attacking family is wrong. I hope to put that all behind me and move on. I am really excited to be back in the ring tonight and hope to come out with a win. I promise to deal with Lance real soon. Ernie Ladd: You mean Mr. Texas. Jim Ross: Give us a break Ladd. Well good luck in your match which is coming up right now. MATCH: MIKE VONERICH VS JOHNNY MANTELL Mike seems to be picking up right where he left off and is on fire. The end comes after only a few minutes and it is by submission as Mike catches Mantell with the Iron Claw. Just as ref Pee Wee Anderson raises Mike’s hand the crowd gasps as Lance VonErich rushes to the ring and comes up from behind and smashes Mike with a steel chai right to the head. Lance simply drops the chair on Mike and walks out of the ring full of smiles as Jim Ross is outraged while Ernie Ladd says, “I told him before to call him Mr. Texas.” As we go to break we see the VonErich brothers out to help their younger brother back to the locker room. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- As we come out of break we see a video of the devious attack by Dirty Dick Slater on Hacksaw Duggan during the Gauntlet Match at Halloween Howl. Slater whipped Duggan into the corner and rushed in. WHAM! Somehow Duggan mustered the energy to explode out of the corner on one leg and catch Slater in a nasty football tackle for the three count. Ted Dibiase slowly makes his way to the ring as Marc Lowrance announces one minute to match time. With about 20 seconds to go, Dibiase has jumped up on the apron and is pointing at Duggan. Duggan starts to rush at him but Dibiase jumps down. WHAM….. Slater has recovered enough to connect with a belly to back suplex just before the bell sounds. Ref David Manning admonishes Slater but there is little he can do. The match between Dibiase and Duggan had not yet started so technically he did nothing wrong Jim Ross explains that it was this attack that has led to our great Main event tonight. MATCH: MAIN EVENT HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN VS DICK SLATER This was a brawl from the opening bell. Slater tries every trick he knows but Duggan seems hell bent on revenge and stays one step ahead of Slater the entire time. The action spills out on to the floor with TV time running out. All of a sudden, Captain Redneck, Dick Murdoch rushes out and the 2-1 beat down begins. Once again Jim Ross expresses his anger while Ladd says that Duggan is getting what he deserves. Jim Ross seems feed up with Ladd and hopes that the rest of the Rat Pack is not going to be next. The crowd explodes as it is not Dibiase who rushes out next. It is none other than Wildfire Tommy Rich. Rich still in jeans and a t shirt is throwing wild haymakers and has the Rat Pack on the run. Matt Borne hits the arena floor but this is Rich at his best. He quickly catches Borne with a few big blows. Duggan is up and quickly retrieves his trusty 2 X 4. The Rat Pack gather their wits and decide to head for the hills. Duggan and Rich embrace as the crowd goes wild. Ladd is furious that Rich has stuck his nose in where it doesn’t belong but Ross is excited that the Rat Pack seems to have gotten what they deserve. He is just disappointed that Dibiase did come out and get hit by that piece of lumber. At least for tonight, anyway. Jim Ross: So long from New Orleans, Louisiana.” As the screen fades to black with see promotions for the major event this week in the Cajundome in Baton Rouge.

I agree. 24-Karat...aka the New Four Horsemen are going to be fun. Looking forward to see who steps up as the next major threat to Flair.... will it continue to be Backlund or is it TA's turn. Maybe Superstar or Windham. 24 Karat will have their work cut out for them if they are going to keep the World title and the TV title.

The USWA is looking for a 3 month exchange of the Fabulous Ones, Terry Taylor, and Chris Adams. Would also listen to deals on Kabuki, Kendo Nagasaki, Ron Bass, Bobby Jaggers, Don Kernodle, Mike Miller, Fidel Sierra, the Iron Sheik, Billy Jack, Cpl. Kirchner and Gary Hart

That Omni show was just like the old days when the Omni was the center piece for Georgia Championship Wrestling. Great show!

USWA would like the women on Nov 3,6,10,13,17, 20,24 Terry Funk on Nov 3, 6,10,17,20

Can't wait to see OMG vs Hogan. He was always great at being a lower tiered championship guy but would love to see how he would handle being #1. I can't wait to see what your plans are as Hogan goes back and forth to Japan. Also really like how you are having a true main event on TV. Makes you excited for the ending each and every week. Atlas vs Hercules would be a fun one to have seen.

You have a lot of great things going on in the AWA! I want to see how the young gentlemen, Steve Regal gets out of this one if he does actually have to deal with Lord Humongous. Love the cooperation between Lutte and the AWA and a team of Henig and Martel would be one of the best in the world. Playboy Buddy Rose and Gilbert is a match of two of the most underrated wrestles of the time. They were both so good and what they did and this would be awesome to see. A great job setting up the Roop/ Orndorff match. The Beat and Kamala would be a great team to job to the Road Warriors as they look so great crushing everyone else and then the Road Warriors beat them. Makes the RW look to be even better then they are and they are great. Similar thing here with Buzz Sawyer. He is wild and unpredictable and looks awesome and then Steamboat beats him. The Santana/Patera thing is fun as I have no idea how it will play out. Great Job as always.

10/31/1984: WTBS 7:05-10:05 FROM REUNION ARENA DALLAS, TEXAS “Hello again everybody. Welcome to the Halloween Special from Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. We are here live on WTBS. I am Jim Ross along with Ernie Ladd. Both Ross and Ladd hype up tonight’s tag team tournament. Ross believes there will be a title change while Ladd says that even though the deck has been stacked against the Perfect Alliance, he expects survive tonight and have their championship intact. Ross and Ladd also have a bit of a back and forth on the North American Title Match between Dick Murdoch and JYD and also tonight’s main event, the USWA World Championship bout between Dusty Rhodes and Hacksaw Butch Reed. Ross takes us to the ring for our first bout which could be a Main Event anywhere in the country. $50,000 TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT MATCH WINNER GETS THE MONEY AND THE TITLE 1ST ROUND MATCH (#1 Seed) THE PERFECT ALLIANCE (Arn Anderson & Bobby Eaton) with Baby Doll VS (#8 Seed) THE ROCK n ROLL EXPRESS TITLE MATCH Ross and Ladd can’t believe this is a first round match but they both hype up what a night of wrestling this is going to be if this is only the opening match. The RnR Express get the fans going from the beginning as they are jumping in their seats as the first sound of Kiss and Rock n Roll All Night is heard from the speakers. As the World Champions hit the ring, it is noticeable that Baby Doll will be a factor. She gets right into the faces of Morton and Gibson and starts to push them. The RnR show a little composure and don’t hit a women here but maybe they should have as Arn and Bobby attack before the bell sounds. As for the match it is a great start to the night. These 4 are tag team wrestling artists and this match doesn’t disappoint. The end comes when Arn Anderson whips Robert Gibson into the ropes and goes for a back body drop but Gibson leaps over Anderson and goes for the pin with the sunset flip. Baby Doll quickly jumped up on the apron and distracted ref Pee Wee Anderson. This allows Bobby Eaton a chance to come and drop an elbow on top of Gibson’s head. Baby Doll jumps back to the floor as Anderson legally tags in Eaton who quickly ascends to the top rope and leaps off…. WHAM! Alabama Jam and Eaton goes for the pin on Gibson. Morton rushes in but is caught by a forearm by Anderson. 1… 2… 3. Jim Ross is upset at the fact that Baby Doll got her team the win as Ernie Ladd plays dumb and has no idea what Ross is talking about and this match just proves why the Perfect Alliance are the champions. MATCH TIME: 14:21. WINNERS: THE Perfect Alliance _________________________________________________________________________ $50,000 TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT MATCH WINNER GETS THE MONEY AND THE TITLE 1ST ROUND MATCH (#4 Seed) THE VONERICHS VS (# 5 Seed) DEVASTATION INC. (The Iron Sheik & Black Blood) with Skandar Akbar Now if you think this Dallas crowd was for the RnR Express in the last match, you should hear this Reunion Arena crowd for the hometown VonErichs. This match is a brawl from the get go and Akbar does his best to get involved as often as he could. Ref Bronco Lubich got a little too close to the action and was knocked out when Black Blood “accidentally” collided with him. This gave Akbar a chance to grab Kerry from behind but as Black Blood came off the ropes about to hit Kerry with a powerful sledge hammer, Kerry broke free at the last second and Black Blood hit the leader of Devastation Inc. Akbar crumbled to the floor as Kerry wound up for a tornado punch on Black Blood and connected. Black Blood went down just as the ref was staggering to his feet. Kerry quickly tagged in his brother who climbed to the top rope for a VonErich Death Splash and connected. Kerry made sure that the Iron Sheik couldn’t make the save as the ref made the 3 count. Ernie Ladd is now the disgusted by the illegal punch that the USWA keeps allowing Kerry to get away with while Ross asks what about the interference by Akbar. None the less, the VonErichs are on to the second round and a World Title Match with the Perfect Alliance! MATCH TIME: 9:02 WINNER: The VonErichs __________________________________________________________________________ $50,000 TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT MATCH WINNER GETS THE MONEY AND THE TITLE 1ST ROUND MATCH (#2 Seed) THE VIOLENCE COMMITTEE (Steve “Dr. Death” Williams & Terry Gordy) VS (#7 Seed) THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS (Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin) with Precious This rivalry has been red hot for a month or two now. Ever since the Freebirds added Jimmy Garvin and turned on Terry Gordy, these team have been at each other’s throats. Tonight will be a regular tag match as the Freebirds have Buddy Roberts sitting out and the Violence Committee has Manny Fernandez sitting out. As for the match, it is pretty violent from the get go. The Freebirds try every trick in the book but for most of the match, Dr. Death and Gordy are just too powerful for the Freebirds. It looks like Williams has the match won after he nailed Garvin with an Oklahoma Stampede but Hayes rushed in to make the save. From here it all breaks down as Gordy hits the ring. As the ref tires to restore order, Buddy Roberts rushes to ringside but he is quickly tract down by the Ragin Bull, Manny Fernandez. These two just add to the chaos and unfortunately for Gordy and Dr. Death, they lost sight of where Precious was. She clocks Gordy with the loaded purse as he is battling Michael Hayes on the outside. Dr. Death comes over to the ropes and starts to warn her. Jim Ross hypes up the idea that when you wrestle the Freebirds, you better have eyes in the back of your head. On que, Williams turned back and was blinded by some white powder from Jimmy Garvin. Garvin quickly followed this up with a nasty DDT. The ref heard the loud bang as Williams’ head hit the mat and turned his attention back to the center of the ring just in time to make the 3 count. Ross is in shock at how devious the Freebirds and Precious are and Ernie Ladd reminds us again that they are the best in the business. MATCH TIME: 16:41 WINNER: The Freebirds __________________________________________________________________________ $50,000 TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT MATCH WINNER GETS THE MONEY AND THE TITLE 1ST ROUND MATCH (#3 Seed) THE FABULOUS ONES) VS (#7 Seed) THE JAPANESE ASSASSINS (Kabuki & Kendo Nagasaki) with Gary Hart In this match, the Fab Ones outsmarted Hart’s team and pulled a victory out of defeat. While the ref was distracted, Kabuki sprayed the Asian Green mist into the eyes of Stan Lane and he went down blinded in agony. Kabuki tagged in Nagasaki who picked up Lane and connected with a Spinning Superkick to the temple and Lane was out on his feet. Nagasaki played to the crowd for a second and made a throat slashing sign while Kabuki and Gary Hart turned to each other and celebrated. The ref warned Hart not to get involved and Ernie Ladd thought this was unnecessary as Hart was simple on the floor fist pumping. Steve Keirn quickly hit the ring and dragged Lane out onto the floor and then rolled back in the ring and laid face down pretending to be Lane. Kabuki came to finish off who thought was Lane and Keirn quickly rolled him up for the surprise pin. Ross goes wild as the Fab Ones move into the semifinals as Ladd can’t believe how incompetent the referee was and that the Fab Ones should be disqualified. MATCH TIME: 7:41. WINNER: The Fab Ones __________________________________________________________________________ HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN VS THE RAT PACK (GAUNTLET MATCH) Jim Ross reviews the rules and lets the audience know that Duggan will first have to wrestle Maniac Matt Borne and if he wins he gets Dick Slater and if he wins again, he finally gets the leader of the Rat Pack, Ted Dibiase. Ross also informs that there will be two minutes between each match to allow the next opponent time to get to the ring. Ernie Ladd jumps in and basically guarantees Ted Dibiase will have the night off. With Matt Borne already in the ring, Duggan rushes to the ring carrying his trusty 2 X 4 and barely misses Borne’s head with a might swing. The ref secures the weapon and calls for the bell. This one is all Duggan. He has so much anger and adrenaline that whatever Borne did had no effect on Duggan. The end comes quickly as Duggan catches Borne with a Powerslam. MATCH TIME: 3:21. WINNER: Hacksaw Jim Duggan As Slater makes his way to the ring, Duggan is dancing around the ring like a boxer and it is obvious that Hacksaw is fixing on taking care of the entire Rat Pack. Slater stalls for the entire two minutes and doesn’t get into the ring until the ref calls for the bell. This match is a little more even and Slater is able to get in a few dirty tactics. At one point, Slater was on the floor and while Duggan was still in the ring. Slater was able to trip up Hacksaw and drag him into the corner where he rammed Duggan’s leg in the steel ring post. From here on out, Slater was going after that knee. Jim Ross hyped up the fact that both Slater and Dibiase use the Figure 4 as their finisher and Duggan might be in some real trouble. Slater whipped Duggan into the corner and rushed in. WHAM! Somehow Duggan mustered the energy to explode out of the corner on one leg and catch Slater in a nasty football tackle for the three count. Jim Ross is excited as he tells us 2 down and 1 to go. Ladd can’t believe Duggan’s luck. MATCH TIME: 9:41. WINNER: Hacksaw Duggan Ted Dibiase slowly makes his way to the ring as Marc Lowrance announces one minute to match time. With about 20 seconds to go, Dibiase has jumped up on the apron and is pointing at Duggan. Duggan starts to rush at him but Dibiase jumps down. WHAM….. Slater has recovered enough to connect with a belly to back suplex just before the bell sounds. Ref David Manning admonishes Slater but there is little he can do. The match between Dibiase and Duggan had not yet started so technically he did nothing wrong. Jim Ross is again disgusted by the Rat Pack as Ladd just says,”genius.” As the ref tosses Slater from the ring, the camera catches Dibiase adjusting that black glove that he wears. Dibiase simple picks Duggan up by the hair and WHAM! Dibiase clocks Duggan with the loaded glove and covers Hacksaw for the victory. MATCH TIME: 0:19. WINNER: Ted Dibiase __________________________________________________________________________ $50,000 TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT MATCH WINNER GETS THE MONEY AND THE TITLE SEMIFINALS USWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH THE PERFECT ALLIANCE (Arn Anderson & Bobby Eaton) with Baby Doll VS THE VONERICHS A classic from the get go. Back and forth action that has the fans on the edge of their seats. At one point, Bobby Eaton tossed Kevin VonErich out of the ring where the Amazon, Baby Doll decided to take the law into her own hands. As Eaton distracted the ref, Baby Doll laid into Kevin with big right hand after big right hand. Jim Ross is in shock at her power while Ladd simply states she is as big as almost any man in that ring and she might be just as dangerous. All of a sudden the crowd explodes as Madusa Miceli rushed to the ring and goes right at Baby Doll. She might not be quite the same size but she doesn’t back down an inch. One thing that is certain, is these are two tough ladies. As Kevin struggles to get into the ring, the camera stays focused on the women. The crowd moans as Madusa ducks under a right by Baby Doll and steps in a gives the Perfect 10 a snap suplex right on the arena floor. The fans go wild as Ross seems to cringe. Kevin is unable to get to his brother and make a tag and this gives Arn and Bobby time to really dish out some punishment. Finally he is able to dive out of trouble and reach the corner. Kerry attacks like a house afire and connects with a tornado punch on Bobby who is not the legal man in the ring. Bobby flips over the top rope which leaves Kerry 1-1 with Arn. Kerry connects with a tornado punch and goes right into the Iron Claw. Kerry is squeezing with all his might as the crowd goes wild. Two or three times, this claw almost led to a pin on Arn. The camera catches Eaton getting back up onto the apron and he goes right for the top rope. WHAM!!! ALABAMA JAM But Kerry saw it coming and rolled out of the way. Eaton nailed Arn. Kerry quickly tags in Kevin he also climbs to the top rope! WHAM!! VonErich Death leap and Kevin covers Arn. 1.. 2.. Kerry nails Bobby with another tornado punch to prevent him from making the save. 3. Jim Ross hypes up the fact that we have NEW USWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS but Ernie Ladd is certain that their title reign won’t even last the night. MATCH TIME: 18:27. WINNERS: THE VON ERICHS (NEW USWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS) __________________________________________________________________________ $50,000 TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT MATCH WINNER GETS THE MONEY AND THE TITLE SEMIFINALS THE FABULOUS ONES VS THE FREEBIRDS This one looks bad for the Fab Ones from the beginning. Lane comes out with a bandage over his right eye and seems to be really having trouble seeing at all. The Freebirds take full advantage of this and have the Fab Ones on the ropes the entire match. Keirn gets worn out trying to do the majority of the work and eventually has to tag in Lane. Lane tries his best but just seems lost. After a whip into the corner by Hayes, Lane slumps over. Hayes struts over and grabs him by the hair. He gets Lane in a headlock and runs in the other direction for a huge Bulldog. Keirn tries to rush in but the ref pushes him back. Garvin runs into the ring and together Hayes and Garvin connect with a Spike DDT and that was all she wrote. Jim Ross really hypes up the finals and can’t believe that after all that has happened tonight, it will be The VonErichs and The Freebirds in Dallas for $50,000 and the World Title! Ladd can’t wait to see the Freebirds win the belts. MATCH TIME: 6:50. WINNERS: The Freebirds __________________________________________________________________________ USWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH DICK MURDOCH VS JYD The crowd really pops as Another One Bites the Dust leads the Dog to the ring. He is pumped up and swinging his big dog chain and howling at the moon. Murdoch comes out is a simple warm up jacket and hands the belt to the ref. Ernie Ladd mentions that Murdoch looks like he mean business. The match is an all-out war and both men were busted open. Dog was cut after having his head rammed into the ring bell and Murdoch was gashed after a series of massive head-butts. Dog caught Murdoch in what appeared was going to be a Big Thump (powerslam) but he lost his balance and fell backwards and got caught up in the ropes. Murdoch took this opportunity to really lay it on the Dog. Finally, the ref helped free JYD but he was in trouble. The crowd began to stomp and cheer. Slowly the Dog made it up to his knees even though Murdoch was hitting him with haymaker after haymaker. The crowd continued to stomp and cheer and Dog is now up on one leg as Murdoch begins to have a frightened look on his face. Dog is now up and the crowd goes wild. He grabs Murdoch again by the side of the head and hits 3 more head-butts. He won’t let Murdoch fall even though his is out on his feet. The crowd begins to roar as Dibiase rushes to the ring. Jim Ross is screaming that business is about to pick up as Hacksaw Duggan is in hot pursuit of Dibiase. Duggan has a bandaged head but also has his trusty 2 X 4. WHAM! Duggan nails Dibiase as JYD whips Murdoch into the ropes. Slater and Borne hit the arena floor and Duggan takes out Borne just as JYD catches Murdoch with a Big Thump. JYD covers Murdoch for the pin as Ross is convinced we have a new champ. 1… 2… Slater hits the ring and leaps into the air for an elbow drop. 3. WHAM! Slater hits JYD and the ref calls for the bell. Ross thinks JYD is the new champ but Ladd thinks there might be a DQ which would save Murdoch’s belt. None the less, Duggan is in the ring swinging his mighty 2 X 4 and Slater has no choice but to clear out. The ref raises JYD’s hand and PRESENTS HIM WITH THE USWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE! Ladd can’t belief that JYD is the champion again as Ross hypes up the fact the good has trumped evil. MATCH TIME: 21:25. WINNER: JUNK YARD DOG (NEW USWA NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION) __________________________________________________________________________ $50,000 TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT MATCH WINNER GETS THE MONEY AND THE TITLE FINALS THE VONERICHS VS THE FREEBIRDS with Precious FREEBIRDS VS VONERICHS! Nothing more needs to be said. The Freebirds enter first and strut their way to the ring. Precious is making the sign of the championship belt and then kisses Garvin. As the Von Erichs start to come to the ring, we notice that Madusa is leading them down the aisle. Jim Ross is excited that finally there will be someone to watch that jezebel, Precious, as Ladd explodes that she has no right to be out here. He continues that she is not a licensed manager and….. As Ladd is talking, Madusa sprints into the ring and goes right after Precious who decides discretion is the better part of valor and high tails it back to the locker room with Madusa in hot pursuit. Jim Ross: Well there you go Ladd, Madusa is not at ringside. Ha! As for the match, this Dallas crowd could not have asked for more. It is a great back and forth for about 15 minutes and then all of a sudden Buddy Roberts appears. He tries to make his presence known but it is short lived as the crowd explodes that Fritz VonErich has now made his way to the ring and gets right in the face of Roberts. Buddy just laughs as if to say “what are you going to do old man.” Well the old man clocks him with a huge right hand and Roberts goes down to the delight of the crowd. Inside the ring, Kevin backs Hayes into the corner where he tags in Kerry. They whip Hayes into the ropes and connect with a double dropkick. As Michael Hayes slowly gets to his feet, Kevin tags back in Kerry. Kevin comes off the ropes for a flying cross bodyblock but Hayes ducks under it and Kevin nails Kerry. Instead of falling to the ground, the powerful Kerry catches Kevin and drops him right across the neck of Hayes. Garvin rushes in only to be meet with a Tornado Punch! Garvin now tumbles through the middle ropes and is laying right next to Buddy. Kerry picks up Hayes a nails him with Tornado Punch and makes one last tag to Kevin. Kevin again climbs the ropes and leaps! WHAM!! Von Erich Death Leap right on top of Hayes. The crowd counts along with ref Pee Wee Anderson. 1… 2… 3. Jim Ross and the fans are really excited as he can’t believe the VonErichs won this tournament in front of their home town crowd. Fritz hits the ring to celebrate with his sons as Mike VonErich rushes to the ring to join in the celebration. Ross reminds us that this is the first time we have seen Mike in over a month since his was attacked by Lance Von Erich. Ernie Ladd tells Ross to please call him by his name… Mr. Texas. Jim Ross: Whatever! We have now entered a new age a tag team wrestling here in the USWA… The VonErich Championship Reign has begun! MATCH TIME: 25:27. WINNERS: THE VON ERICHS __________________________________________________________________________ USWA WORLD TITLE MATCH “THE AMERICAN DREAM” DUSTY RHODES VS HACKSAW BUTCH REED with SKANDAR AKBAR The main event is just brutal. Rhodes seems overwhelmed by Reed’s power but never backs down. After about 25 minutes, Reed catches Rhodes in a bearhug and squeeze with everything he can. Rhodes never looks to submit but you can tell he is getting week. It looks like he keeps thinking about hitting Reed with one of those Bionic Elbows to the head but each time he lifts the elbow Reed squeezes harder and Rhodes can’t complete the move. Somehow Rhodes is able to hip toss Reed by grabbing him around the waist. This forced the hold to be broken but it was only momentarily as Reed snaps it back on. After another two minutes or so, Reed and Rhodes back into the corner. Still locked in the bearhug, Rhodes climbs to the second rope and looks for the Bionic Elbow again but Reed lifts him into the air and pulls him back to the center of the ring with the bearhug still locked in. Finally Rhodes is able to hit a Bionic Elbow and then another and then another. The hold is broken and Reed stumbles backwards right into ref Scrappy McGowan. McGowan tumbles through the ropes. Rhodes is still in bad shape and Reed recovers first. Reed starts to throw huge haymakers across the already weakened back of Dusty. After 4 smashes, Reed pushes Rhodes face first into the ropes. Dusty back peddles towards Reed who gives him a huge forearm to the back. Rhodes goes down to one knee. As Reed steps in, Rhodes catches him with a back flip and Reed goes straight to the arena floor. Reed is now on the arena floor next to McGowan. He struggles to get back into the ring and Rhodes has recovered. Rhodes grabs Reed and suplexes him back into the ring. Rhodes covers Reed for at least of 5 count but there is no ref to make the pin. Rhodes picks Reed up by the hair and whips him into the ropes. Reed somehow manages a cross body block but his momentum carries Rhodes right on top. Rhodes again has the pin attempt and this time McGowan is standing on the arena floor. From outside the ring, the ref counts 1… 2… Reed powers out. Rhodes sets up Reed for a Piledriver and connects. Another pin attempt. 1… 2… 3. MATCH TIME: 32:27. WINNERS: Dusty Rhodes Jim Ross hypes up that Dusty is still the USWA World Heavyweight Champion. "So long from Dallas, Texas." A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HELPED PICK THE WINNER OF THE TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT.

From Armstrong to Landell to Dirty Dutch. This truly has the SMW feel. Love the handcuffs in the ring, the TV Title being for the little people. Armstrong and Fuller going back and forth. Just very well done.

Great TV Card. Rougue vs Colon and Kimura vs Andre would really peak my interest. As I stated before, Tully vs Martel sounds great. Keep up the good work!

Very nice series of shows. I like the angle with Atlas and Hercules. Those strength things were always a lot of fun. Looking forward to the tag team situation being cleared up. You have some monster teams and it will be fun to see who comes out on top. Again the back and forth between Gorilla and the Brain was great. I agree with Edger that Hansen vs Hogan would be one for the ages.

Lots of options are good! Keep up the good work. Lutte always keeps me guessing.

Some surprises indeed. I just commented that I thought Valentine was back on the rise and then this. Also was surprises that Star and Afa beat the Zambuie Express. Love surprises! Makes me wonder who you would put third on your depth chart: 1. Martel 2. Bravo 3. ?

USWA WRESTLING: 10/28/1984: WTBS 9:05-10:05 CINCINNATI, OHIO “Hello again everybody. Welcome to USWA WRESTLING from Cincinnati, Ohio and The Cincinnati Garden. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is the Big Cat, Ernie Ladd.” The show starts by really hyping up the recent card in the Denver, Colorado and then we see Dusty Rhodes come out with his USWA World Title and he really goes to town on Skandar Akbar and Butch Reed. He is furious at the tactics of Reed last week in Denver which lead to a count out victory for Devastation Inc. over Rhodes and the Fab Ones. Rhodes explains that if Reed wants to fight dirty that is fine because he was raised on the streets of West Texas and is ready for anything Reed can bring his way. MATCH THE JAPANES ASSASSINS with Gary Hart vs SWEET BROWN SUGAR AND SCOTT McGHEE A good opening bout that goes for about 4 minutes but in the end, Gary Hart trips McGhee and that leads to a nasty thrust kick by Kabuki for the victory. Hart & the Assassins head over to the interview desk where Hart basically claims victory in the upcoming tag team tournament on Wednesday night in Reunion Arena in Dallas. He warns the Fab Ones that they are in for some real pain. He guarantees the end of Lane and Keirn and that the fans better get ready for Kabuki and Nagasaki to be the next World Champions. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH TED DIBIASE VS BRIAN ADIAS Dibiase controls the first few minutes but then Adias ducked under a clothesline and came off the ropes with a cross body block and gained a near fall. This just seemed to anger Dibiase more who now punishes Adias. The end coming by submission with the Figure 4. After the ref called for the bell, Dibiase refused to release the hold. In fact, he grabbed the ropes and really amped up the pressure. Adias was writhing in agony but there was nothing he could do. The crowd explodes as Hacksaw Duggan rushes the ring with his 2 X 4. He takes a might swing and just misses Dibiase who rolls out to safety and high tails it back to the locker room. Duggan spends the next few minutes at the interview desk where he keeps saying how sick of the Rat Pack he is and how he wants Dibiase inside the squared circle at the Halloween Spectacular and doesn’t care about the stipulations. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- The Rat Pack (Dibiase, Slater, Murdoch and Borne) joined Ross and Ladd at the interview desk where Dibiase says that he will agree to face Hacksaw Duggan in Dallas as long as Duggan comes out here right now by himself and without that weapon he carries around. Jim Ross: Now why would Duggan came out here to face the 4 of you all alone? That seems like it would be a foolish thing to do. Ted Dibiase: You heard him Ross. He wants me in a ring this week and doesn’t care about the stipulations. Well coming out here now is one of the stipulations. The crowd explodes as Duggan rushes out and gets right into the face if Dibiase. Ted Dibiase: Wait a minute Big Boy! If you want a match this week, you will not touch any of us tonight. Is that understood? Hacksaw Duggan: First of all you don’t tell me what to do. If you try anything here, I will take out the entire Rat Pack. The crowd pops but Dibiase and the Rat Pack just laugh as they know that nobody in this industry can take them out all alone. Ted Dibiase: Well that is almost what you will have to do but it just won’t be here tonight. It will be in Dallas on Wednesday. If you want a match with me, first you will have to go through my men. All my men except for Dick Murdoch who will be busy beating Junk Yard Dog. Jim Ross: Now that hardly sounds fair! Ted Dibiase: I don’t care about fair. He demanded a match and said I could set the rules. First he has to wrestle Maniac Matt Borne. This should end his night but if some crooked ref helps him to win then Dirty Dick Slater will be next. Now it would be preposterous to think he could win that but if and only if he does, he will get his match with me! Ernie Ladd: Seems fair. It was Duggan’s idea to let you set the rules. Jim Ross: This is ridiculous! Jim Duggan: Deal And Duggan simply walks off set as the Rat Pack are all smiles. Ted Dibiase: Wow, what a night it is going to be. The Rat Pack is going to put an end to Junk Yard Dog and Hacksaw Jim Duggan all in the same night. MATCH THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS (Hayes & Garvin with Precious) VS THE FORT BRAGG BROTHERHOOD (Kernodle & Kirchner) With the Brotherhood already in the ring, The Freebirds come strutting out to “Freebird” and Jim Ross seems angry at their arrogance but Ernie Ladd says they have all the reasons in the world to be arrogant as they are the best in the business. As for the match, the Brotherhood do well in the beginning but Precious distracts ref Pee Wee Anderson and this allows Michael Hayes a chance to pull the top rope down as Kernodle was whipped across the ring. Kernodle crashed to the floor where Hayes continued to give him the business before tossing him back in. Garvin followed this with a sit down jawbreaker followed by a DDT for the victory. The Freebirds head over to the interview desk where they are so excited for Wednesday night. They can’t believe that they get to win the World Tag Title, $50,000 and take care of that traitor Terry Gordy all in the same night. The crowd pops as Gordy and Dr. Death come out and basically challenge the Freebirds right now and say there is no reason to wait. Both teams begin to push but the officials and Cowboy Bill Watts rush out and maintain order. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MAIN EVENT: KERRY VON ERICH VS THE IRON SHEIK The crowd explodes when the first chord of Tom Sawyer is played. Kerry comes to the ring full of energy as the crowd goes wild. With Kerry already in the ring, the Iron Sheik and Skandar Akbar walk out carrying the Iranian flag. Sheik gets the microphone and starts calling everyone “Stupid Americans” and that they need to stand and give the Iranian flag some respect. The crowd is all over him as he goes into his “Tehran, Iran” chant. As the match begins, Ross reminds us that Kerry will be joined by his brother Kevin in Dallas at the big tag team tournament to face Sheik and Black Blood in the first round. As for the match, Kerry is all over Sheik until Akbar gets up on the apron and distracts Kerry. Kerry hits Akbar with a huge tornado punch to the delight of the crowd but this gave Sheik an opportunity to catch Kerry with a knee to the back. Sheik begins to weaken Kerry for the Camel Clutch but Kerry regains the momentum when he blocks a blow by Sheik and catches him with a tornado punch of his own. As Kerry goes for a suplex, the crowd moans as Mr. Texas (Lance VonErich) and Black Blood hit the ring. The bell sounds but Kerry takes a pretty good beating until his brother Kevin and the USWA World Champion Dusty Rhodes hits the ring to even it out. This only lasts a minute until the last member of Devastation Inc. hits the ring. That’s right, the monster, Hacksaw Butch Reed comes in and just pummels Rhodes. He finishes him off with a Gorilla Press Slam. This gives the rest of Devastation Inc. an advantage and they clear the ring of the VonErichs. Akbar and his stable are all smiles as his men rule the ring as the show closes. Ernie Ladd is so excited as he is sure this is a sign of things to come and says he can’t wait for Reed to beat Rhodes this Wednesday night in Dallas. Jim Ross tells him not to count out Rhodes or the VonErichs so quickly. “So long from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Sorry for the double post. I didn't think it went through

Nice set of events here. Looking forward to Fall Brawl and the huge steel cage matches. Also Magnum TA vs Killer Khan is a great event. Khan was such a monster but was always used to get the popular guy over. Interested to see how you play it.

Nice group of shows here. Looking forward to Fall Brawl. The steel cage matches should be great. Magnum TA vs Killer Khan is a nice match also. Khan was such an animal but never seemed to get over the big boys.
