Great main events for 1980's TV. If there was more of this,the WWF might have ad some more competition. I love the way you are using Fugi as a sort of Kevin Sullivan family leader of evil. Again, looking forward to fall brawl.

Love the Studd/Bundy thing. The win by Bockwinkle over Andre keeps me wondering the future of the WWF Championship. Can't wait to see how this one plays out.

I agree with the others. Cornette is such a star wherever he goes. Also like the chaos of the Sheepherders. Whether they are heels or babyfaces, a nice Sheepherder brawl is always fun.

It was a typo Edgar but if if works then I mean it was on purpose.

Love the format and all that is going on here. Humperdink is doing great work for you. Very interested to see Fall Brawl. Will Flair keep the belt while in Japan or is Backlund the new top dog + all the other great matches!

9/23/1984: WTBS 9:05-10:05 TAPED IN DALLAS, TEXAS “Hello again everybody. Welcome to USWA WRESTLING from Dallas, Texas and the Sportatorium, the World’s most famous wrestling arena. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is the Big Cat, Ernie Ladd. Jim Ross begins by giving a rundown of tonight’s show when all of a sudden he is interrupted by the Freebirds. Michael Hayes: Well Jim Ross what do you have to say now. The USWA put the Violence Committee (Terry Gordy, Manny Fernandez and Steve Williams) in the ring with us last week hoping beyond hope that they could put a stop to our rise to the top. Well guess what daddy? The people in the Cajundome saw that there is no way to stop us. Jim Ross: Don’t you mean there was no way to stop the loaded purse of Precious? Jimmy Garvin: Now watch your mouth Ross. Precious is a lady and I don’t like what you are insinuating here. Michael Hayes: As I was saying, just like always the Freebirds came out on top and now it is on to the World 6 Man titles. There is nothing Fruit Loops Von Erich can do now to keep those titles around the waist of his boys. I mean the last time the Von Erich’s walked down Bad Street, we let them make it down the block. We had to make a choice. Beat that turn goat Terry Gordy or win the belts. We knew we could win the titles anytime we wanted so we took the opportunity to teach Bam Bam a lesson of what happens when you put yourself above the Freebirds. Now we are coming for our belts! People of San Antonio get ready for Freebird Mania. The Von Erich’s are going down! Jim Ross: Well we will just have to wait and see but I have a bit of information for you. I have just been informed that Precious will be barred from ringside. All of a sudden the Freebirds erupt in anger and say that they will not stand for this. Jim Ross: Don’t shoot the messenger but we must get to the ring for our first bout. MATCH: FT. BRAGG BROTHERHOOD (CPL. Kirchner and PVT. Kernodle) VS THE KINISKI BROTHERS A nice win for the Patriotic duo who came out waving a giant American flag. The end came after about 5 minutes when Kernodle used the swinging neckbreaker for the pin. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- Jim Ross is excited for the Gauntlet Glove Match as he reminds us that Iceman King Parsons in just 4 victories away from a World Title shot. Ross pulls out the hat to find tonight’s opponent and asks Ernie Ladd to reach in and pull out the name of Iceman’s opponent. Ladd reaches in and pulls out ……… Johnny Mantell GAUNTLET GLOVE MATCH ICEMAN KING PARSONS VS JOHNNY MANTELL The crowd is really getting into Iceman and they are dancing in the aisles as soon as they hear the first chords of “We Are Family.” As for the match, Iceman controls all but a minute or two of the action and the win comes after he follows up an Irish Whip with a Big Butt Bump. All of a sudden, the crowd’s cheers turn to boos as Skandar Akbar leads the Muslim Connection (Elijah Akeem & Kareem Muhammed) to the interview desk. The Muslim Connection are wearing Army fatigues and appear to be all business. Skandar Akbar: Nobody listened when I said that my team deserved a World Title shot. Well let’s get to the video tape so I can shut you loser Americans up once and for all. The video tape is from the Cajundome and pits the Muslim Connection against the Fab Ones. The Fab Ones are using their speed but not able to do much damage to Akbar’s men. All of a sudden we see an amazing drop kick from the 310 pound Akeem on Stan Lane. He quickly tagged in Muhummed who climbed to the second rope and hit a massive elbow drop. Akeem made sure that Keirn couldn’t make the save as he knocked him off the apron with a big right hand. Muhammed made the cover and gained the victory. Skandar Akbar: Did you see that. The power! The agility! The work ethic! Things America doesn’t understand. My men have decided to put on their Army Fatigues because they are at War. War on all you stupid people who put them down. War on the USWA Board of Directors! But most of all, War on the World Tag Team Champions. Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton! Beware. Your days are numbered. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH: HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN VS HACKSAW HIGGANS A nice showcase here for Duggan as he gets to show off against another large man. Duggan claims the victory after a football tackle on Higgans after about a 4 minute back and forth. Jim Ross: Oh by God what in the world are Butch Red and the Cuban Assassin doing heading toward the ring. WHAM! Just as the ref makes the three count, the Cuban Assassin nails Duggan with an elbow drop. Reed and The Assassin are all over Duggan for a minute or two and they are hitting him with everything but the kitchen sink. Reed quickly slips out of the ring and looks under the apron. He comes out with a paint can and brush and quickly paints a big yellow strip down the belly of Duggan. Jim Ross is horrified by these actions but Ernie Ladd reminds us that Duggan brought this upon himself by getting involved in a match between Reed and JYD that he had no business being involved in. Jim Ross announces that help is on the way as out comes JYD, Tommy Rich and Billy Jack. Reed and his bodyguard make a quick escape as the trio helps Duggan to his feet. Duggan’s hand rubs across the paint and it is the first time that he realized what happened. Duggan is enraged and hightails it to the locker room in search of Reed and the Cuban Assassin. A camera follows him and Hacksaw is tearing everything up in the arena while screaming for Reed. Jim Ross says that with the state that Duggan is in right now, it would be best for Reed to stay away if he knows what is good for him. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MAIN EVENT KERRY VON ERICH VS THE IRON SHEIK with SKANDAR AKBAR The crowd explodes as Kerry comes to the ring but that all changes when Akbar’s leads the Sheik to the ring. They can’t stomach his Iranian flag. They hate his curled toed shoes. They don’t won’t to hear his Tehran, Iran chant but most of all, they hate his manager Skandar Akbar. As for the match, VonErich gets off to a good start but Akbar helps change the momentum by tripping Kerry. The Sheik seems on the verge of victory after softening up the back of Von Erich and then strapping in the Camel Clutch. Kerry refuses to give in and somehow reaches the ropes. After the hold is broken, VonErich catches Sheik with an elbow and once again gain control. He goes for the claw many times but only to be stopped. He finally catches the Sheik with a tornado punch but Akbar again gets up on the ropes to distract the ref. WHAM! Kerry knocked him into next week with another tornado punch. He turns and gets the Brain Claw on the Sheik. The crowd goes wild as the Sheik looks like he is about to give up. Jim Ross: Oh no, here we go again. The Muslim Connection is rushing to the ring. Ernie Ladd: As well they should. Another VonErich has just used a closed fist and this rule breaking must be stopped. Jim Ross: Wait, wait a minute. Kevin and Mike VonErich have attacked Devastatio Inc. from behind. It is a wild seen here but Kerry still has the claw on the Sheik. The Sheik is stuck in the middle of the ring and has no choice but to submit. Again the crowd goes wild for the victory but the joy is short lived. The Freebirds rush out and join the Muslim Connection in their battle with Kevin and Mike. Kerry quickly hits the scene but it is to no avail. It is still 5-3. Jim Ross: Oh business is about to pick up. Here comes the Violence Committee. (Gordy, Fernandez and Dr. Death Steve Williams. There is chaos all over the studio as 12 men have divided into two teams of 6. It is such a wild scene going on that the entire locker room empties to try and get this situation under control. We hear Jim Ross hyping up the card at the HemisFair Arena in San Antonio for Tuesday night. “So long from Dallas, Texas.” As the screen fades to black with see a promotion for HemisFair Arena Matches Include: USWA WORLD TITLE MATCH The Iron Sheik with Skandar Akbar vs The American Dream USWA WORLD TAG TEAM MATCH The Perfect Alliance (Arn Anderson & Bobby Eaton) with Baby Doll Vs The Muslim Connection (Elijah Akeem & Kareem Muhammed) with Skandar Akbar USWA WORLD 6 MAN TITLE MATCH The VonErichs vs The Freebirds NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Junk Yard Dog vs Dick Murdoch TEXAS BUNKHOUSE MATCH: Hacksaw Reed & Terry Taylor vs Hacksaw Duggan & Tommy Rich The Great Kabuki & Kendo Nagasaki with Gary Hart vs Jake Roberts & Chris Adams And much, much more!!

Great card in Houston! Liked seeing Slater get a Main Event title match here. Bockwinkle-Dibaise would have been awesome to see. Love what you are doing with Sullivan. So simple but perfect.

Now those were great cards. Numerous matches that could have been main events with unpredictable outcomes made this a fun read. Each match seemed to pit even talent and I was unsure of who was getting the push except for the young Steve "Jones." Also liked the suspense of Kamala's partner. I have said this before but I think it holds true. If ESPN had run shows like this when they had their weekly show, the landscape of wrestling today might be completely different. Your TV show gave us great names in matches against other stars. Keep up the good work.

I am really enjoying the WWF which I can't say I did in real life. I must applaud how well organized and planned out you are. Keep up the good work!

I love how you really think these things out like Rose in Portland.

9/22/1984: WTBS 9:05-10:05 TAPED IN DALLAS, TEXAS “Hello again everybody. Welcome to USWA WRESTLING from Dallas, Texas and the Sportatorium, the World’s most famous wrestling arena. 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 Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana. We see a video tape of the main event between Handsome Harley Race and the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes where the winner would become the new number one contender for the USWA World Heavyweight Title. The tape begins with the two superstars in the center of the ring slugging it out. Right hand by Race! Right hand by Rhodes! Over and over again, these two just throw haymaker after haymaker. Race finally rakes the eyes of Dusty to gain control. Big move after big move could not get Race the win. Vertical Suplex…. 2 count. Indian Death Lock…. No submission. Piledriver…. 2 ½ count. Race couldn’t believe it. He takes a short cut and rams Dusty into the steel ring post and we all know how Dusty bleeds. Dusty starts to shake. Dusty starts to shimmer. Dusty seems impervious to pain. Dusty starts wiggle the finger in the face of Race. Race tries one more right hand. Blocked. Dusty goes wild and after about the 5th right hand, Harley is down. Fist drop to the face. Elbow drop to the gut. Bionic elbow to the top of the skull. Nothing can keep Race down for the three count. Finally after two consecutive piledrivers, Rhodes gets the three counts. When the tape ends we see the Dream has joined Ross and Ladd at the interview desk. Dusty has the audience hanging on every word. Dusty Rhodes: In that match with Harley Race, I went to Hell and back. It was a war. A war I refused to lose. In the past, I have beaten Race and he has beaten me but this was something special. We both knew that the fate of the USWA World title has fallen into evil hands. The hands of people who believe it is their job to put down America. To hurt American people. Harley and I both thought we were the best person to stop this attack of the Red, White and Blue! I give Harley a lot of credit but who better to bring that title back to America then the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes. Now, Iron Sheik. I’m coming for you baby. There is no place to run. There is no place to hide. Tuesday night at the HemisFair Arena! San Antonio, Texas. It will be the America coming out on top! ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- As we come out of break, Ross is again excited to show us a video tape from the Cajundome. This time it is of the 4 Corner Match between Hacksaw Reed, Hacksaw Duggan, Dick Murdoch and Andre The Giant. The tape begins with total chaos as all men are in the ring at the same time in this format. Hacksaw Duggan has Reed in trouble as does Andre with Murdoch. Unfortunately with all the big bodies flying around, the ref gets knocked down. At this time, Andre catches Reed with the Big Boot and then goes for the Andre splash. He connects but there is no ref to make the count but Reed is no longer a threat. Murdoch ducks away from a football tackle from Duggan which could have taken him out. Instead, Duggan, by accident connects with Andre who is now knocked off of Reed. Hacksaw Duggan sees a chance now to cover Reed who is still out. As he goes to make the cover WHAM…. Murdoch had snuck out to the floor and grabbed Duggan’s 2 X 4 that he carried with him to the ring and whacked Duggan over the head. Duggan is now out of it. So is Andre and Reed. Murdoch has his choice of who to cover. He lays across Duggan just as the ref recovers. 1… 2… 3… Wham! Andre tried to prevent the pin but was just a second too late. As the tape ends, Dick Murdoch is at the interview desk where he is getting a lot of love from Ernie Ladd. Murdoch seems really content with himself but Jim Ross is all over him for his tactics with the 2 X 4. Dick Murdoch: Are you kidding me Ross. I mean the USWA Board of Directors, including your boss, Cowboy Bill Watts, always tries to stack the deck in order to get what they want. They send in Hacksaw Duggan and that big dope, Andre the Dummy to try and stop me from getting to the Junk Yard Dog. Well, it couldn’t be done. I grew up in West Texas. I grew up hard! I grew up tough. You put something in my way and I bust through it. Now it is time to bust up JYD. I have faced all the big names in this industry and I am still here. JYD will just be the next in a long line of people to be left laying in the middle of the ring by Captain Redneck. Before we get to the ring for our first match, Jim Ross informs us that Murdoch will get his shot this week in the Hemisfair Arena. USWA TELEVISION TITLE MATCH THE GREAT KABUKI with Gary Hart vs JAKE “THE SNAKE” ROBERTS The fans explode with this one and Snake is all business. He is seeking revenge for Hart and Kabuki turning on him a few weeks ago. As for the match, it is wild and brutal. Kabuki used some nasty martial arts to keep Roberts down for the first few minutes but then it was all Roberts. Roberts connected with a DDT and had the match won but before the ref could count to 3, Kendo Nagasaki rushed into the ring and nailed Roberts with his Kendo stick. Nagasaki got in a few loud CRACKS before Chris Adams hit the ring and Hart and his men beat a hasty retreat. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- After the break, Jake Roberts and Chris Adams are at the desk where Roberts is speaking really slowly and you can tell he means what he says. He basically is calling out Gary Hart and his Japanese Assassins and he wants them in any type of match. It doesn’t matter to him if it is a steel cage. Makes no difference but he guarantees that someone won’t be standing after it. Roberts and Adams storm off. Jim Ross gets us ready for the Gauntlet Glove Match as he pulls out the hat to find out who Jimmy Jam Garvin will be facing. Ernie Ladd reaches in and pulls out ……… ICEMAN KING PARSONS. Jim Ross let’s us know that Garvin is still 4 victories away from a title shot. GAUNTLET GLOVE MATCH JIMMY GARVIN with PRECIOUS VS ICEMAN KING PARSONS In only his second appearance in the USWA, Parsons is already a fan favorite and he gets the Sportatorium rocking as he comes out to a little “We are family.” As far as the match, Garvin is up to his usual tricks as he tries to run the stall. He knows Parsons will make the mistake and rush in which he does. Garvin uses the advantage now and almost gained the pin after a big body slam. Garvin threw Parsons to the floor and then got in the face of the ref which allowed Precious a chance to give Iceman a huge smack to the face. The crowd explodes as “Dr. Death” Steve Williams rushes out and chases Precious back to the locker room. Jim Ross informs us that the Freebirds and the Violence Committee (Williams, Terry Gordy and Manny Fernandez) had a wild match in the Cajundome last week. From here on out, it was all Iceman. Garvin was too distracted by Williams to focus on Parsons. The end came when Iceman followed up the clothesline with a nasty Butt Bump! Iceman thanked Dr. Death and continued to dance around and high five the fans as he headed to the locker room. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- This segment has two quick squash matches. MATCH BILLY JACK VS MR. WRESTLING II In name only, Wrestling II still a big deal. He is on his last leg but can still give you a good four or five minutes. Here, he actually had control but missed the Million Dollar Knee Lift and Jack slipped behind him and caught him in the Full Nelson for the submission victory. MATCH: THE OUTLAWS (RON BASS & BOBBY JAGGERS VS THE OATES BROTHERS The Outlaws were mean and nasty here. The came out in full cowboy attire and were cracking their bull ropes when they entered the ring. The end came when Bass caught Jerry Oates with the Texas Gourdbuster! ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MATCH: MAIN EVENT TOMMY RICH, HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN & JYD Vs HACKSAW BUTCH REED, TERRY TAYLOR & DICK MURDOCH This match combines three current USWA feuds into one major main event for TV. As for the match, it appeared as if the rules to this sport were never written. Total chaos form the get go. Neither team waited for the bell and the brawl was on as soon as all 6 men were in the ring. Rich vs Taylor, the Hacksaws and JYD and Murdoch all squared off. Ref Scrappy McGowan never got this one under control and basically declared it a No Contest. As TV time was running out, the 6 men were fighting all over the studio. Ernie Ladd couldn’t believe how the “So called good guys” were breaking every rule in the book. Jim Ross replied with “Gimmie a break Ladd.” As the show ends, we hear Jim Ross hyping up the card at the HemisFair Arena on Tuesday Night in San Antonio. “So long from Dallas, Texas.” As the screen fades to black with see a promotion for The HemisFair Arena. Matches Include: USWA WORLD TITLE MATCH The Iron Sheik with Skandar Akbar vs The American Dream NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Junk Yard Dog vs Dick Murdoch The Great Kabuki & Kendo Nagasaki with Gary Hart vs Jake Roberts & Chris Adams TEXAS BUNKHOUSE MATCH: Hacksaw Reed & Terry Taylor vs Hacksaw Duggan & Tommy Rich And much, much more!! (SORRY, A FEW DAYS EARLY BUT NEVER KNOW WHEN I GET THE TIME RIGHT NOW)

I love how it takes you all of two seconds to get things going again. Your style of writing is so simple and easy to follow. From Exotic Adrian Street to the Dream Team to Lawler, this is so much fun to read.

USWA roster should have Fidel Sierra. Brickhouse Brown was a free agent who was picked up today by CWA. You also have Mean Mike Miller on my roster which is correct but he needs to be removed from free agency.

Works for me

Very nice set of shows here. Love how you get your entire roster involved in those huge tag matches. Looking forward to Flair's next major feud.... maybe Backlund?

Due to a lack of time as I have taken a second job and have 2 children under the age of 4, I am finding it hard to do this project justice. I have only written highlight shows so far. If any of the indies feel they could give the USWA more attention, I would have no problem with them taking over the weekly USWA show and I would drop to the monthly indie show. If not, I will continue to do the best I can.

Great start! Really had a SMW feel to it!

Very nice card. Jarry Park was an outside arena? Just wondering as I always heard about it when teams play the Expos in baseball in Olympic Stadium. Would have liked to have seen Gilbert in a dress a while longer as I thought it was a great angle but he is too good to have to have him lose all the time.

USWA also releases Billy Jack to make room for the Honky Tonk Man's dates

USWA would like the Honkey Tonk Man on Sept 23,30, OCt,4,11

9/2/1995: WMC 5 (MEMPHIS) 10:00-11:30 “Hello again everybody. Welcome to USWA Wrestling from Memphis, Tennessee. I am Corey Macklin and what a show we have instore for you today. (Macklin rundowns today’s show) HIGHTLIGHT FORM: ANGLE 1: The Kings (Jerry Lawler, Jeff Jarrett & Bill Dundee) vs The First Family (Jimmy Hart, Barry Windham, Tommy Rich and The Warlord) · A video tape from the Mid-South Coliseum is shown where it looked like Lawler was going to successfully defend his World Title against Windham as he was going for the second rope fist drop. The Warlord rushed in a did some serious damage here with a nasty powerbomb. Lawler was lucky that the rest of the Kings rushed to his aid. · After the video, Lawler was at the interview desk where he was fuming and demanded the First Family come out which they did. The hate the Lawler as much as he hates them and would like nothing more than an opportunity to attack 3-1. Again, lucky for Lawler, the rest of the Kings came out to. The two groups squared off but little more come off it. · At the end of the show, we were informed that these two groups will met in a 6 man elimination match this Thursday at the Mid-South Coliseum. ANGLE 2 WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE · In a squash match, The Nation of Domination team (The Harlem Knights) got a victory over Bobby Blaze and The Colorado Kid as Nelson Knight used his 500 pounds to almost cripple Blaze. A huge choke slam followed by a Big Splash ended this in under 3 minutes. · The Harlem Knights went over to the interview desk where they basically demanded a title match against Southern Comfort (Tracy Smothers & Jesse James Armstrong). They also implied that the only reason they have not gotten that title shot yet is because they are black. · Jerry Jarrett came out as was angry at their implications but also said that if they beat Scott and Steve Armstrong at the Mid-South Coliseum this week, they will get a title shot in two weeks! · The crowd roared at Southern Comfort came out and basically challenged The Harlem Knights right now because they could stomach listening to what they were saying and down here, it doesn’t matter how big you are, you NEVER BACK DOWN FROM A FIGHT! Jarrett told them that there would be no match tonight and if anything happened between these two teams, then they would all be fined. The crowd was disappointed but might get this great match in two weeks. ANGLE 3 USWA SOUTHERN TITLE · In a great main event match for TV, Terry Gordy defeated former champ Billy Jack after Gordy followed up a Samoan Drop with a huge Guillotine Leg Drop. This match went about 12 minutes and had some great back and forth action. · Corey Macklin wondered allowed who the new #1 contender would be for the Southern Title but we will just have to wait and see. ANGLE 4 BRIAN CHRISTOPHER VS THE RAT PACK (Jerricho and Doug Gilbert) · Brian Christopher was furious after the Rat Pack attacked him last week and demanded a match against them on tonight’s show. · The match was granted but unfortunately for Christopher, he was teamed with Dixie Dynamite. The crowd seemed to like this but that is only because they didn’t know he was the sacrificial lamb here to keep the feud going. The fan favorites were doing well until Jerricho “accidently threw Dynamite into the ref. With him down. The Rat Pack pulled out every dirty trick in the book. When the ref became refocused, Christopher tried to rush in to help his partner only to be escorted out for being the illegal man. Jerricho connected with a Moonsault for the victory. · Jerricho and Gilbert headed over to the interview desk where the really made fun of Chistopher’s ability, upbringing and IQ. ANGLE 5 MISS TEXAS VS JIMMY HART · For the second week in a row, Jimmy Hart insulted Miss Texas only to be smacked so hard that he was knocked to the floor. · At the end of the show, we find out that right here on TV next week, we will see an intergender match between Miss. Texas and Jimmy Hart PUSH · Diamond Dallas Paige and Kimberly continue to get a push here. DDP wins another squash match against The Gambler and the crowd really likes his energy and watching Kimberly jump and dance around. DDP is given an interview after the match were he does pretty good on the microphone.

hmmmmm B.R. Very Interesting!

9/16/1984: WTBS 9:35-10:35 TAPED IN SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA “Hello again everybody. Welcome to USWA 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. Jim Ross begins by saying that there was a wild match last week for the USWA World Tag Team Titles between the Perfect Alliance (Arn Anderson & Bobby Eaton) and the Fabulous Ones. Ross takes us the VTR of the last few minutes of the match. The video begins with both teams struggling to gain control when all of a sudden, Skandar Akbar and his men Elijah Akeem and Kareem Muhammed hit the ring. It is hard to tell who they are after as it just turns into a wild brawl where it is every team for themselves. It even got a little wild outside the ring as Baby Doll walloped Akbar across the head. The ref frantically called for the bell and ruled this match a no contest. When the video ends, we see the Fabulous Ones at the interview desk and they are fuming. They can’t believe that Devastation Inc. ruined their title shot and they want to get even. Ernie Ladd was very defiant as he believed that the Muslim Connection should have been the #1 contenders any way and been given the title shot. The Fab Ones told Ladd to mind his own business as Cowboy Bill Watts made his way out to the interview desk. He agreed with the Fab Ones that Devastation Inc. should not have interfered in their match and he is willing to grant the Fab Ones a match against Akbar’s men tonight in Lafayette but they must understand that the winners will be the #1 contenders for the tag titles. The Fab Ones accept and everyone seems satisfied as Jim Ross takes us to the ring for our first match. He hypes up Iceman King Parsons who will be making his USWA debut. The crowd loves him from the get go as he dances his way to the ring with the popular “We are Family blaring from the speakers. MATCH: ICEMAN KING PARSONS VS HACKSAW HIGGANS Iceman has his hands full here as Higgans is big and nasty. In the end, Iceman comes out on top after he followed up a jumping clothesline with a nasty Butt Bump! Iceman gives a quick stop at the interview desk where he is welcomed by Jim Ross. On the other hand, Ernie Ladd wonders if he can handle it here against the best wrestlers in the world. Iceman quickly responds that he is ready for each and every challenge. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- Jim Ross is excited for the Gauntlet Glove Match as he reminds us that Dr. Death is just one victory away from a World Title shot. Ross pulls out the hat to find tonight’s opponent and asks Ernie Ladd to reach in and find out who will face Dr. Death. Ladd reaches in and pulls out ……… Jimmy Jam Garvin GAUNTLET GLOVE MATCH “DR. DEATH” STEVE WILLIAMS VS JIMMY JAM GARVIN with Precious Garvin has no choice but to try and outsmart the powerhouse Williams. He begins with some stall tactics which frustrates Dr. Death. Garvin runs in and out of the ring until he catches Williams by surprise with an elbow to the head. Garvin works over Williams for two or three minutes. This is when Michael Hayes comes to ringside and, along with Precious cheers on Garvin. Williams turns the momentum and goes wild. He whips Garvin into the corner and sets up for the football tackle. Garvin escapes just in time as Michael Hayes jumps up on the apron to distract ref Scrappy McGowan. Precious takes this opportunity to throw the loaded purse to Garvin but it is intercepted by Dr. Death. The fans encourage him to nail Garvin but the ref turned back to the action. He grabs the purse from Williams and begins to admonish him. While this is going on, Garvin sneaks up behind Williams and lands a low blow which the ref somehow missed. Dr. Death hits the mat and Garvin quickly covers him for the 1…2…3. As you would expect, Garvin and Hayes go on the attack and Williams who is at their mercy. Terry Gordy and Manny Fernandez hit the ring and the Freebirds scurry back to their locker room. Jim Ross is sick that such a dirty tactic is going to cost the young Williams a title shot. Ernie Ladd is sick to his stomach at how biased Ross is as he never cared about the kicks and closed fists that Williams was throwing during the match. Both Ross and Ladd hype up how great the match between the Freebirds and the Violence Committee is going to be tonight in the Cajundome! ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- A commercial aired hyping up TEXAS ALL-STAR WRESTLING from the Junction in San Antonio for this Wednesday night where a tournament to crown a new World Champion will begin. MATCH: HARLEY RACE VS ROCKY JOHNSON A nice showcase here for Harley Race as he gets a good clean victory over a quality opponent. The end came after about 7 minutes of back and forth action when Race connected with a nasty piledriver. Race went over to the interview desk where Ladd and he were all smiles. Ladd and Race took turns hyping up how great it is going to be when Race defeats that fat slob, Dusty Rhodes and Race gets a World Title shot against the Iron Sheik. After a few minutes of this the crowd explodes as the American Dream struts out to the set. Rhodes and Race get in each other’s face and basically challenge each other to make the first move. Officials rush out from the back and push the two away from each other. Both men began to struggle to get to one another but to no avail. ------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS----------------- MAIN EVENT GLOVE MATCH 6 MAN TAG TEAM ACTION USWA WORLD 6 MAN CHAMPS: THE VONERICHS VS THE NEW OUTLAWS (Ron Bass, Bobby Jaggers & Mean Mike Miller) A nice match were the Louisiana fans really give the brothers from Texas a nice ovation. This match was another nice TV match with a few momentum changes. The challengers almost gained the victory after Ron Bass caught Mike Von Erich with a swinging neckbreaker but Kerry made the save. The end came after Kerry caught Jaggers with a Tornado Punch and then tagged in Kevin for the Top Rope Von Erich leap. For once, a USWA show ends in a peaceful way where Ladd again is furious that Kerry VonErich was allowed to throw a closed fisted punch to help secure the victory.

Very happy Hart and Neidhart are together as they should be. I also think you got something with the Army of Darkness. I found it hard to write for Sullivan as I thought it took too muck work. You kept it simple which seems to work perfectly here. Hogan/Bockwinkle brings back some good AWA memories. Bock was king of the AWA but Hogan is king here. Interesting to see what happens
