USAW is sending Curt Hennig to the AWA for Billy Jack Haynes

My roster was also a little off. Here is the updated one which includes today's free agent pick up of Johnny Mantel and tomorrows free agent pick of Steve Simpson. Both are going to jobber packs. If anyone wants Steve Simpson today he is yours. I just wanted to finish my roster changes for now. USWA - Kevin Promoters/Presidents: Fritz VonErich/Bill Watts Announcers: Jim Ross, Gordon Solie, Bill Mercer, Marc Lowrence Refs: David Manning/Scrappy McGowan/Bill Lampier/Bronco Lubich/Rick Hazzard/Mario Crumley/Pee Wee Anderson Dusty Rhodes Butch Reed Billy Jack Haynes Ron Bass Tommy Rich Ricky Harris Butch Miller Luke Williams Buzz Sawyer Kevin Sullivan Mr. Saito The Great Kabuki Kerry Von Erich Kevin Von Erich Mike VonErich Brickhouse Brown Dr. D Dave Schultz Blackjack Mulligan Michael Hayes Buddy Roberts Terry Gordy Dick Murdoch Wahoo McDaniel Junkyard Dog Arn Anderson Mike Graham Jake Roberts Rufus Jones Tony Garea, Tracey Smothers, Kelly Kiniski Lanny Kean, Joe Lightfoot, & Johnny Mantell JR Hogg, Ted Allen, & Steve Simpson Oliver Humperdink The Iron Sheik Chris Adams Gary Hart Baby Doll Bobby Eaton Steve Keirn Stan Lane Elijah Akeem Al Madrill Brian Adias Norvelle Austin Rocky Johnson Skip Young

Sounds good. I will update it on here

Gene, I had already picked up Norvel Austin on July 19th but it must not have been updated yet.

Love the Idol/Landell combo I agree withFenton that Lawler vs Flair is a Hell of a match but I got to pull for my USWA Champ!

I am sorry but as with many of the wrestlers on the list, they seemed to have been in a promotion for a match and then out. I tried to keep our free agency list to those who were truly active on a promotions roster. Jake Milliman did wrestle through the 1990's but from this point in 1984-1991 he averaged 0.5 matches per month. Many of the wrestlers on this list did have a few matches after July 1984 but it seemed very sparse. I have no problem putting him back on the free agent list if someone would like to add him.

USWA would like to add Kelly Kiniski to an open spot on a jobber pact.

USWA has sent Tim Horner and Robert Fuller to CWA in exchange for Al Madril and Brian Adias

Very exciting start to PNW. You are making the most out of a small roster and your tournaments have been fun to follow.

SET

Updated on Retirement list. Just need to make sure LowBlow takes them off of free agent list

Fun house shows where the King continues to prove all is well in the CWA.

So very well thought out. I love how Martel kept the title in Canada but lost it in Philadelphia. Love how on TV the Russians destroy people but in the big shows the fans see Democracy survive. This is done so well. Just like real life.

Great TV show. Can't wait to see what you have planned for Sheri and Gilbert. Your are really keeping us waiting on the Masked Cowboys. Love it.

USWA NEWS -The biggest news out USWA was the loss of Championship Wrestling from Florida. The USWA organization had accumulated World Class Championship Wrestling, Mid- South Wrestling and Florida as Ted Turner had put a stranglehold on the competition across much of the Southern United States but now they are scrambling to maintain what the USWA has built over the past 6 months. It is been rumored that the USWA is trying really hard to add new territories to its organization to combat the strength of the other major players in the game including the NWA, AWA and the newly rising WWF. -After its major show in the Cotton Bowl, their has been major upheaval to the USWA roster. In a attempt to get younger, the board has decided not to renew such stars as Ernie Ladd, Mr. Wrestling II and the Purple Haze while bringing in Tim Horner, Chris Adams and Jake the Snake Roberts. The board of directors also loved the attention that was given to the idea of the Red Assassins as they believe Anti-Patriotic wrestlers bring in the crowds but they wanted a fresh face to run that angle. So Alexis Smirnoff and Fidel Sierra as the Red Assassins are out while the Iron Sheik is in. USWA also felt that the masked team of Super Strong Machine and the Super GIant Machine was a little too gimmicky even for wrestling so they have been released along with their manager Armand Hussein. "Playboy" Gary Hart has been brought back to World Class and will lead a stable of heels in the very near future. -The Board of Directors has also seen the ratings spike since adding some beautiful women to the show. They have brought back Baby Doll and now she is heading one of the most exciting new teams in all of wrestling as USWA also signed Arn Anderson and "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton. Together they have formed the Perfect Alliance and the only discussion left in when to give them the belts. It is rumored that Baby Doll might do more then just manage. She might take her almost 6'0, 190 pound frame into the ring against MEN! USWA has also been hyping up Madusa Miceli and she might prove enough competition for Baby Doll. We will just have to wait and see. -Other new stars like Robert Fuller, Rocky Johnson and Norvell Austin have been signed but their roles have yet to be determined. -USWA believes Curt Hennig is a star but they have struggled to figure out his identity. For that reason he has been put out their to other organizations as trade bait. -There has been some behind the scenes arguing going on between Ted Turner and both Cowboy Bill Watts and Fritz Von Erich. Turner wants the TV shows to take place in larger venues while Watts and Von Erich believe the Sportatorium and the Irish McNeils Boys Club are the perfect settings and come across perfect on television. All three agree that their needs to be better use of the World Champions and for that reason they will work together to revamp the house show schedule. -There has been debates inside of USWA that it is the perfect time to expand into new areas. World Class is in discussions with places like Albuquerque, New Mexico and Kansas City, Missouri. They feel that with Wahoo MCDaniel on the roster, it would be the perfect time to head to New Mexico which has a large Native American population and with the Central States promotion, WWA, recently going under, the people of Kansas City are starved for wrestling. Also many of the WCCW stars spent a lot of time in the WWA and are family to its fan base.

Just looking at my roster and I had released Purple Haze (Mark Lewin) and added Rocky Johnson

USWA is sending Mr. Wrestling II to the WWF for future consideration

USWA adds Chris Champion to complete the jobber pack with Tony Garea and Tracy Smothers

Great tournaments going on in the PNW. Enjoy your style!

7/22/1984: WTBS 5:305-7:05 TAPED IN DALLAS, TEXAS BILL MERCER welcomes all the fans to World Class Championship Wrestling here in Texas from the World’s most Famous Wrestling Arena, the Sportatorium in downtown Dallas. Mercer really hypes up the fact that once again the program is going to be called World Class Championship Wrestling. Mercer really reviews the attack on Fritz Von Erich by the Freebirds from last time and shows the video of the event. He continues to explain the Fritz is in an area hospital recovering but will be just fine. In fact, Fritz is hard at work and has sent in a video type for all of us. The video begins with Fritz sitting up in a hospital bed with his head bandaged and he is speaking very slowly but clearly and straightforward enough that everyone knows he means business. Fritz begins by thanking the United States Wrestling Association for allowing him to go back to the old name, World Class Championship Wrestling. Fritz continues by explaining that Jerry Lawler has lodged a complaint stating that Dusty Rhodes should not be the new USWA World Champion as the match was never sanctioned by Fritz. For those of you that missed it, Fritz was unconscious and Kerry accompanied his father to the hospital instead of taking his title match against Lawler. Kerry actually told Rhodes to take the match. Fritz says as much as he hated to admit it but Lawler is correct. Nobody in the USWA sanctioned that match and therefore, in effect, it did not take place. Jerry Lawler is reinstated as the World Champion but I am sticking to my guns. He is going to have to defend his title each and every week in the USWA or else he will be stripped of that belt. So Jerry Lawler get ready because tonight, my son, Kerry Von Erich is wrestling for your World Title. If you do happen to win tonight, you will meet the American Dream Thursday night at the Frank Irwin Center in Austin, Texas. Fritz now heads into the next order of business which is Curt Hennig. Fritz informs us that Hennig was seriously injured at the hands of the SuperStrong Machine and the Super Giant Machine. Doctors have informed the USWA that he will not be able to defend his Texas Heavyweight Title in the mandatory 30 days so he has decided to vacate that belt. We will be holding an 8 man, one night tournament to fill the championship. Some of the wrestlers will include Kevin Von Erich, Dick Murdoch, The Great Kabuki, Terry Gordy, and Ron Bass. This tournament will also be on that same card in Austin. Fritz sits up a bit and asks the camera man to come in closer. He looks right into the center of the camera and finishes with. “And to the Freebirds. If it is the last thing I do on the face of this earth, I will get my revenge on you for what you did. The video ends and Mercer really hypes up what they just saw. He reviews some of the points and then gives the run-down of tonight’s show. He really hypes up World Title Match but he also hypes up the fact that Tommy Rich is here tonight attempting to get his second win in the Gauntlet Challenge. Mercer pulls out a Cowboy hat and says he is going to pull out the name for Tommy Rich’s opponent…… and it is none other than Freebird Buddy Robert. Wow that is going to be some match Mercer now hands it over to Marc Lawrence who introduces our first match. MATCH: DUSTY RHODES & DICK MURDOCH VS THE WILD HOGS (King Harley & JR Hogg) The fan favorites control most of the bout and get the victory after Rhodes connected a Piledriver on JR Hogg. The winners head to the interview desk where Murdoch takes the lead……”Where are the Outlaws? Where is Bobby Duncum? Gone! I mean one match with the Texas Outlaws and those sissys ran for the hills. Nobody can mess with Texas! Freebirds, you say you from Bad Street. Well Dusty and I didn’t even have streets. We grew up on dirt paths and worked our fingers to the bone to get to where we are today. Anytime you girls want us to take those titles, we are ready for you. Rhodes….”Freebirds! Lemme tell you somtin baaaaby! We are coming to Bad Street. You can’t go around sucker punchin and stompin whoever you choose. When you hit Fritz, you set off the American Dream. Let me tell you, I am as angry as lion on a hunger strike. You Freebirds got no respect. When we all said and done with cha, you will have respect but you won’t have any tag team titles. And now for Mr. Jeeeery Lawwwler. You escaped with that title of yours on a technicality. Well you won’t be so lucky this week. I mean either Kerry’s gone a get ya tonight or I am going to get ya in Austin. Your days are numbered! ------------------------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS------------------------------------------ When we come out of break, none other than Playboy Gary Hart is at the interview desk where he announces he is back in Texas to take complete control of World Class Wrestling. He says that he is not here to make friends. He is not here to appease the Von Erich family. He is here to simply control the Sport of Kings. He announces that you are familiar with two of his wrestlers, The Great Kabuki and Mr. Saito but that tonight you will see his newest acquisition. Mercer: “and who might that be?” Hart: “None other than the Iron Sheik.” Mercer: “Have you no respect. No Patriotism. You take a man from Iran and this point in history! Hart: “I just told you that I was here for one reason only, to win championships and as you are about to see, the Iron Sheik is capable of winning many championships. MATCH: The Iron Sheik with Gary Hart vs Tony Garea Sheik is waving that Iranian flag it is a surprise that there was not a riot in the Sportatorium. Sheik is yelling, “Tehran, Iran…. Tehran, Iran and the fans are letting him have it. As for the match. Garea does his best but the Sheik is just too tough. The match was a 5 minute contest that ended with the Camel Clutch. Mercer get us right back to the ring for our next bout. MATCH: GENTLEMAN CHRIS ADAMS VS TRACY SMOTHERS The fans where really surprised to see Adams back in Texas and they see the number of Von Erich foes just mounting. This match goes about 4 minutes as Adams carries all the action as he just tries to teach the rookie the ropes. Adams does whack him around a bit and the ends comes with a nasty Superkick. Adams heads over to the interview desk and the fans are really giving it to him. Adams says that this “American Class” is exactly what brought him back down here. He goes on to say that wrestlers are talking about how Fritz Von Erich continues to ty and give his sons every advantage in this company. He looks right in the camera and says, “It doesn’t matter. He can give them every short cut he can find but when I hit a Von Erich with a Superkick, they are not getting up. Adams also says he is here to be the next Texas Heavyweight Champion and is looking forward to the upcoming tournament in Austin, Texas. Bill Mercer explains to us that we now know 7 of the 8 entries into that tournament. “I wonder who the 8th will be.” ------------------------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS------------------------------------------ When we come out of the break we see the World Tag Team Champions, The Fabulous Freebirds are at the interview desk. Michael Hayes takes the microphone and begins… “Fritz, it might be hard for you to talk and all right now. I am sure your mouth is wired shut and you are drinking your dinner through a star but be honest. Walking down BAD STREET is one nasty trip. I mean you only reached the first house and ended up in the hospital. You are angry because we out suckered you. You tried to fix a World Championship bout for your spoiled son, Kerry. All I did was make sure that was not going to happen. Then you have the nerve to fine us $30,000. I mean the money is no big deal. We make that in one night! Oh, and by the way. We made more than that at the Cotton Bowl thanks to Jerry Lawler. He paid us well to wrap that steel cage door around Kerry’s head. He bad us well to handcuff you to the ropes and beat the snot out of you.” Bill Mercer….”Enough of this topic, I mean I am disgusted. So what plan to you have for tonight. I mean Buddy Robert got Tommy “Wildfire” Rich in the ring next and then if you interfere in the World Championship match tonight, Lawler will lose the title.” Hayes: First of all jack, Buddy don’t need no plan to beat Rich and Lawler has it all under control.” The Freebirds walk to the ring for the Gauntlet Match. GAUNTLET MATCH: BUDDY ROBERTS VS TOMMY RICH Even though Rich has not spend much time in Texas, the fans are behind him and hopes he puts Roberts in his place. As for the match, it is a great for TV as it has it all. Rich has to deal with not only Roberts but Hayes and Bam Bam on the outside. Rich took control of the match and then surprised Buddy Roberts with a Lou Thesz Press for the victory. As soon as the three count was made, Hayes and Gordy hit the ring and went after Tommy Rich. It was like the Von Erichs new this was coming and they hit the ring immediately. Kevin, Kerry, Mike and Tommy Rich took it to the Freebirds who were all thrown from the ring. They were all furious and Terry Gordy tried to get back in the ring but Hayes pulled him down as he thought it was better to fight another day. Tommy Rich thanked the Von Erichs as Bill Mercer reminds us that Rich is now just 3 victories away from a World Title shot. ------------------------------------------COMMERCIAL BREAK/PROMOS------------------------------------------ USWA WORLD TITLE MATCH JERRY LAWLER VS KERRY VON ERICH As we come out of break, we go right to Marc Lawrence who introduces the World Champion who struts out to a chorus of boos. As “Tom Sawyer” by Rush begins to blare from the speakers, the fans at the Sportatorium are all on their feet. Lawler plays coy for a few minutes as he hopes to delay as he knows there are only a few minutes left. Kerry loses patience and rushes in too quickly and the King caught him with a knee to the gut. Lawler now used his “skills” to harass the champion for a few minutes but somehow Kerry managed to escape a second rope fist drop for a momentum changer. It was now Kerry’s turn to go wild. He used the Iron Claw to weaken Lawler and then went for his Tornado Punch but Lawler was smart enough to fall out of the ring out onto the floor. Bill Mercer explains that there is only about one minute left. Kerry follows him out by Lawler is able to throw a shoulder block into Kerry’s gut and knocks the wind out of him. Lawler now picks him up and drops Kerry neck first across the apron and Kerry hits hard right at the base of the ring. Lawler quickly goes to pick him up but suddenly jumps backwards. Bill Mercer: Oh my God, what is that…..? A giant snake is crawled out from under the ring and is slithering around Kerry. We need to get some help out here. I am sorry folks but we are out of time. As the camera peers in, we see the snake starting to wrap itself around Kerry and a long face with a mustache peering out hiding the ring. Mercer begins to sign off but stops. “Who is that man? We will get to the bottom of this. So long from Dallas, Texas.”

I was trying to figure out how to make the Horsemen also but we will see. Never say never.

This is a list of wrestlers whose in-ring careers have basically come to an end. Please try to be as historically correct when deciding if a wrestler should be retired. You can use these wrestlers for a one or two time special as many of them DID wrestle once or twice a year. You can use people on this list as managers or special talent. If you use them as a manager, they must be used as part of your roster. If you use them as special talent (announcer, referee, etc...) they do not count on your roster. You can not use a person as special talent if someone else wants them as a manager. You are allowed to add a person from this list to your roster as a manager even if another promotion was using them as special talent. If you feel someone is on this list by error and is actually on a major roster at the time you want to use them, just give link to information and they can be removed.
