Well that is better. AWA back on their feet and have overcome the Ishingun! Just love Iceman Parsons. Glad to see he is having a great deal of success in the AWA. Sorry but I missed it before. Love the Hogan/Dibiase match. Hogan has been a great traveling champ with matches against Dibiase and Lawler. That is what the 1980's was all about. Great Job! Gagne may need some more help in his wars with the likes of Orndorff, Garvin and the Super Destroyer. CWA is always willing to lend a hand if you need anybody. I love the inter-promotional feel this game has.

Wow, what a main event. The AWA falls to the Ishingun. Is the beginning of a takeover?

Thanks Beast for all you have done. I know I have only been around a short time but I thought all of your actions were respectful and classy. I couldn't agree with you more in that all of us still involved should stop nitpicking. Everyone's goal might not be identical and let's let everyone have fun and enjoy their posts. I think that it what this is about, the idea of remembering wrestling the way it was or at least they way we saw it. Each promotion has a right to be different and that is ok. If you ever have the desire, please come back and if you have any time in your schedule give us some feedback on how you think we are doing.

I am not sure where they are but I just looked under the promotions tab to see when the last time the bubble promotions posted a show and except for Beast, they don't exist. That being said, I like the 60 day rule. If they do not answer this post in a few days, we can move forward without them. Much of their roster could still be intact after the re-draft and if it has completely changed they could always pick another promotion to write. We are not kicking anyone out but they may have to make some adjustments to continue to play.

In terms of the re-draft, I would like to be able keep 15. I would prefer that we save only top 2-3 wrestlers in open promotions. I feel with so few writers, there would be such a large list of free agents that any new writers could make a great roster off that list. I am in favor of adding to the roster limit but would like to begin at 36-40 instead of 34. Again, I feel with so few writers, we would be leaving so many great wrestlers inactive and I think that leaves out some of the fun as writers and READERS of this game. These are only opinions are I am on board with whatever the majority wants. I am in no matter what.

That sounds good to me.

Thanks Lowblow for working so hard. I am looking forward to any format that those still with us would like.

CWA WRESTLING: 11/26/1983: MSC STUDIOS (Memphis) FEED RECEIVED IN WESTERN TENNESSEE, NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI EASTERN ARKANSAS, SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND PARTS OF INDIANA AND KENTUCKY! Lance Russell: "Hello again, everybody! Lance Russell and Dave Brown here again for CWA Wrestling in Memphis, TN. Let’s get right to our first segment, “This Week in the CWA.” Dave take it away. Dave Brown: Well thank you Lance and great to be with you and all the wrestling fans here in the CWA. Let me get all the fans caught up on all the action from this past week. · MATCH OF THE WEEK: First, what a match at the Mid-South Coliseum between NWA Champion Harley Race and Jerry Lawler. Both man had numerous opportunities to win the match but could never put the other away. After 30 minutes of amazing wrestling, the match ended with a draw. Both wrestlers gained a lot of respect for the other and the match ended in a handshake. That’s when things got really interesting. After Harley Race left the ring, JR Foley entered the ring and the bag pipes began to play. Soon, none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper entered the ring and attacked Lawler. This will not be the last we here of this. · FEUD OF THE WEEK: The Rock n Roll Express vs The Japanese Assassins CWA President Ed Marlin has been asked and he has agreed to another title shofor the Japanese Assassins. Believe it or not, this request was made by the champions, The Rock n Roll Express. They said they wanted to beat the Assassins one more time without the interference of Sir Oliver Humperdink so he could not make any more excuses about why his team lost. To guarantee no interference, this match will be a SCAFFOLD MATCH 25 feet up in the air. · Austin Idol and Superstar Graham lost to Stan Hansen and Plowboy Frazier in the Mid-South Coliseum. This means that Jerry Lawler will have to defend his AWA Southern Title against 2 members of the tHouse of Humperdink when action returns to Memphis on Monday. The two wrestlers will be announced tonight by Sir Oliver Humperdink. · Last Monday night saw the second attack on Ladd’s Army by an unknown masked wrestler. This time he attacked Big Red Reese and Ernie Ladd himself. Nobody seems to know who this wrestler is. · Speaking of masked men, the Mid-South Coliseum was treated to one of the best masked wrestlers of all time. Mr. Wrestling II was JYD’s mystery partner and they defeated Reese and Ladd. · The Ole/Lars Anderson feud seems to be heating up as Ole attacked Lars before Lars and Gene were to wrestle for the Mississippi Valley Tag Titles on Monday. Lars was injured in the attack and Gene had to wrestle alone. A match which he ultimately lost. · Three tag teams that have remained undefeated here in CWA are the Commonwealth, Team O & A and the team of Mark Youngblood and Jules Strongbow. One of these teams may be in line for a title shot soon down the road. Lance Russell: “Wow Dave some great things happening here in the CWA. What a show we have tonight but before we get to the ring, let’s welcome in The Rock N Roll Express. Lance Russell: Well guys congratulations on beating the Japanese Assassins this past week but it seems that you have asked and been granted another match with the Assassins and this time the match will take place on a 25 foot scaffold. May I ask why you want another match when you have beaten them twice and why such a dangerous match? Robert Gibson: The reason for the match is simple. We want to leave no doubt in the mind of Humperdink. When the ref disqualified them the first time for an illegal choke, he claimed the CWA was out to get him. The next time, he claimed that he was attacked by us and his men were distracted by the whole incident. All lies. Well this time we are going to kick the you know what out of those Japanese Assassins and he won’t be able to say or do anything about it. Ricky Morton: That’s right Lance. You know as well as I do baby that he’s not climbing his big butt up 25 feet to interfere. That’s why the scaffold match was our idea. We know in a fair fight we will defeat the Assassins. It’s going to be a bit tense up there but it will be fun watching them fall! Lance Russell: Well that will be a match to remember. Let’s get to the ring for our first bout. Match #1: The Dirty White Boys vs Scott Ferris and Mark Savage A match where the young team of Len Denton and Tony Anthony really look like they are coming together. They are quick and love to mix it up. The match ends with a Bucksnort Blaster on Mark Savage by Tony Anthony. Lance Russell: Well guys, that was a great match but you must say that moving up the tag team division in the CWA is really tough. There are so many great teams. Len Denton: That is true, between the Rock n Roll Express, The Commonwealth, The Japanese Assassins, Team O&A and so many others. I mean I could go on and on but Tony and I have much bigger fish to fry then just moving up the tag ranks. Tony Anthony: That’s right brother! I have not forgotten what King Cobra did to me when he double crossed me in the ring. Cobra and the rest of Ladd’s goons, WE ARE COMING FOR YOU BE ANY MEANS NECESSARY! Lance Russell: Well fans, those two seem to have a long memory and plan of revenge on their minds. We will be right back! >> Lance Russell runs down the upcoming schedule for the CWA! November 26: Jackson, TN at Jackson Coliseum November 27: Jonesboro, Arkansas at the ASU Arena November 28: Memphis, TN at the Mid-South Coliseum November 29: Evansville, IN at the Soldiers & Sailors Coliseum November 30: Louisville KY at the Louisville Gardens December 1: Nashville TN at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds December 2: Oxford, MS at Tadd Smith Stadium Lance Russell: Welcome back fans, let’s get to our next match. MATCH #2: Mark Youngblood and Jules Strongbow vs Sweet Daddy O and Burrhead Jones As would be expected, Youngblood and Strongbow are just so good at the art of tag team wrestling and were able to use quick tags and double team moves to stay in control of the match. The end came when Youngblood nailed Jones with a fall down back body drop for the pin at 4:38. When the match ended, the Mississippi Valley Tag Team Champions, Hacksaw Higgins and Moondog Moretti hit the ring and attack Youngblood and Strongbow. Strongbow and Youngblood were ready and a real brawl took place over the next few minutes until The Native Americans got the better of the champions who high tailed it back to the locker room. Lance Russell: Well what was that all about? Jules Strongbow: Lance, I have no idea but if they want a fight, Mark and I are ready. We will not sit back and wait to get attacked again. Mark Youngblood: Moretti! Higgins! You two have no idea what you just started. We are proud people. We do not take lightly to your sneak attacks. We are warriors but we also fight for what is right. We understand the importance of respect. Next time we see you, you will learn to respect our culture. Those belts around your waists are our new goals! Lance Russell: Well Higgins and Moretti may have just woke up Strongbow and Youngblood. They better be ready for a fight. Let’s get back to the ring! MATCH #3: Big Red Reese vs Brian Adias Reese, a member of Ladd’s Army, enters to a chorus of boos but it doesn’t matter to him as he controls the entire match. After a few minutes of destruction, he catches Adias with a huge shoulder block. This is followed up by a Holy Ghost Splash and that is all she wrote. As ref, Paul Morton hits the mat to begin the count, the mysterious masked wrestler hits the ring and nails Reese with a huge right hand which appear to have a set of brass knuckles on. Reese rolls over and is out of it while Ref Paul Martin calls for the bell. Your winner by DQ was Big Red Reese at 4:34. The masked man salutes Reese in reference to Ladd’s Army and walks out of the ring. Lance Russell: Well I do not know what to say but that is the third time that this masked wrestle has attacked a member of Ernie Ladd’s Army. I must say, he better be careful. If they catch him, I would not want to be in his shoes. We will be right back after this break. Lance Russell: Well, Mr. Ladd, I must say I didn’t see that one coming. Ernie Ladd: Russell, I really don’t want to hear any of your nonsense. If that masked man had any guts he would stay and fight. Don’t worry Memphis, we have our ideas of who it is and he will be taken care of in drastic ways. Nobody attacks us and gets away with it. Especially not one of these local yokels in Memphis. Anytime, anyplace, we can solve this one on one. Lance Russell: You said you have some idea of who it is. Would you like to enlighten the fans of CWA of your thoughts. Ernie Ladd: NO! When we make an example of him, we will take that cowardly mask off and show you white people that even today, your heroes hide behind masks. Lance Russell: Well this is a situation we will have to keep our eyes on. Let’s get back to the ring. Match #4: RODDY PIPER with JR FOLEY vs TOMMY LANE JR. Foley leads Piper to the ring waving the flag of the British Commonwealth as the fans begin to boo. Piper, wearing his traditional kilt, enters the ring with the Bag Pipes playing Scotland the Brave. Even though Tommy Lane has had some good moments early on in his career, he is no match for Piper and his nastiness. After Lane was successful in catching Piper in a scoop slam, Piper decided to stop wasting time. He double eye gouged Lane which led to Ref Jerry Calhoun admonishing him. Foley saw this opportunity to jump on the apron and start to berate Calhoun. Calhoun turned his attention to Foley for just a second but that was enough time for Piper to hit Lane with a low blow. As Lane struggled to his feet, Piper hit him with a running knee lift and that was all she wrote. Roddy Piper wins by pinfall in 5:45. Lance Russell: Well this is a surprise. Mr. Piper what brings you to the CWA JR FOLEY: What brings him to the CWA is me. I told you re-enforcements were coming. The Commonwealth is going to take over the Memphis Wrestling scene. I can’t stand how awful everything is here in America. You cheer for the average! You cheer for the Rock n Roll Express. You cheer for Jerry Lawler. Within just a short period of time, you all will learn what greatness is. The Commonwealth with be your tag champions and your AWA Southern Heavyweight Champion. Roddy Piper: Mr. Russell, I want to tell you something. When the King of Wrestling calls, you listen. And by King, I mean the number 1 manager in the world. Mr. JR Foley. The man with more knowledge than a Webster’s dictionary! JR called me and said that there is someone impersonating a King! A man by the name of Jerry Lawler. JR asked me to join him here in the CWA and rid the area of the scum you call champion. You need a real man to be your champion. It is said that you can learn something new every day. Today, I want you uneducated Americans to learn that your King is nothing more than a has been. Better yet, a never was. You will see what a real man is like when I become your champion. The British Commonwealth will once again save an incompetent America. Lance Russell: Gentlemen let’s try to keep the peace here tonight. I don’t wish for things to get out of hand. Jerry Lawler: Don’t worry Lance. I just have a few words for Piper here. First things first. You call yourself a man but a man would not low blow another man just to gain an advantage. A real man would not attack another with a roll of quarters inside his fist after the other just wrestled for 30 minutes like you did to me after my World Title Bout. And most important, a real man would not be wearing a skirt! Piper: Just a minute… Lawler: Shut up Piper, I am not done. Lance, you asked for order. I must admit it is hard right now but I was raised correct by my mother. I can’t hit a women and anyone in my world that wears a skirt is a women! Piper: Ok, ok,ok. You have had your say you uncultured redneck! This is a traditional Scottish kilt and you say I attacked you after your World Title match! What world title. That is just another arrogant American idea. You think if you win something in America that equals the best in the world. Just so you know, you lost a match to become champion of a small piece of America. Did you forget you just failed to win another world title a few weeks ago versus Hulk Hogan. This world champion and that world champion. This is all a bunch of nonsense. When I become champion here, I will bring the belt all over the British Commonwealth and act at least like a World Champion does instead of sitting on your thrown and asking the minions to come to you. And one last thing, if you are the King was your mother the Queen? I did hear she was the Madam at the Cat house down the street but did not know that made her a queen? Lance Russell: Well you can never guess what is going to happen next here on CWA wrestling. While order is being restored and aid given to Jerry Lawler, we will take a break. As we go to break, take a look at the newest CWA Ratings. A RANKINGS AS OF 11/18 SINGLES: TAG TEAMS: 1. Jerry “The King” Lawler 1. The Rock N Roll Express 2. “Hacksaw” Butch Reed 2. The Japanese Assassins 3. Austin Idol 3. Moondog Moretti & Hacksaw Higgins 4. Stan Hansen 4. The Commonwealth 5. Junk Yard Dog 5. Jules Strongbow and Mark Younblood 6. Ernie Ladd CWA CHAMPIONS: 7. Lars Anderson 1. Southern Heavyweight Champ: Jerry Lawler 8. Plowboy Frazier 2. Southern Tag Team Champions: Rock N Roll Express 9. Troy Graham 3. Mid-American Champion: Hacksaw Butch Reed 10. Porkchop Cash 4. CWA TV TITLE: Lars Anderson 5. MS Valley Tag Title: Moretti & Higgins MATCH 5: TV TITLE MATCH: LARS ANDERSON VS PORKCHOP CASH Lars Anderson is defending his TV title at less than 100% as he is still bothered by the shoulder that was injured at the hands of his brother last week at the Mid-South Coliseum. For this match anyway, Lars is the crowd favorite. Porkchop Cash and the fans seem to be on each other from the very first second he came out from the locker room. As for the match, Porkchop Cash was always one step ahead of Lars. Every time it looked like Lars was set to go on the attack, he was slowed by his injured arm. He was unable to throw punches when the match turned to a brawl and was unable to match Cash wrestling move for wrestling move because he was basically one handed. Cash was able to gain control of the match after a huge powerslam on Lars. It looked like we were about to have a new TV champ when Ole Anderson and the masked wrestler from before hit the ring. Ole climbed to the top rope and leaped off and landed a Top rope knee drop on Lars while the masked wrestler came in from behind and hit Cash over the back with a chair. Both men left as quickly as they came out but the damage was done. Ref Paul Morton called for the bell and declared the match a no contest. Ernie Ladd, steaming mad, came out and helped Cash to the back while Lars made his way to the interview desk. Lance Russell: Well Lars, it seems that no matter how much you want to avoid fighting your brother Ole, it seems that he will not let you wrestle until you accept his challenge. Lars Anderson: Ole, enough is enough. No matter how much I am trying not to fight my own flesh and blood, you are making it very difficult. I would hate to have to put our parents through something like this. They don’t deserve to see Andersons fighting Andersons on TV. While Ole doesn’t seem to care about family, I do. Ole is out for Ole and doesn’t care who else gets hurt by his actions. Even in this industry where you need to have others watch your back, he can count his friends on 1 hand. If he keeps up with his current trend, he is going to lose two more. I can’t take much more of his crap and I know Gene was upset on Monday when he costs us a tag team title! His only friend left may be Bill Ash and that is because they just meet. Lance Russell: Speaking of Bill Ash, you meet him in the ring on Monday night. Lars Anderson: That’s right. Ole can call him his new family but he’s no Anderson. He is going to feel the power and wrath of the greatest wrestling family in the world. Ash! Yu are going to feel the Anderson Armbar up real close and personal. I am going to put you out for getting involved in my business! COMMERCIAL BREAK WITH PROMOS Lance Russell: Well Iet me guess Sir Oliver Humperdink. You are finally happy as you may be on the verge of the AWA Southern Championship. . Sir Oliver Humperdink: Pencil Nose, you would finally be correct. I mean Monday night, the House of Humperdink will become the AWA Southern Heavyweight Champion and The AWA Southern Tag Champions. The Rock n Roll Express do not know what they have gotten themselves into. A Scaffold match with my two men who are like ninjas. You have just cost yourselves at minimal the championships and more than likely your health. As far as Jerry Lawler goes. He might as well just hand over the belt before he gets hurt. I mean nobody can beat two of my men by themselves. On Monday night he will be none other than Plowboy Frazier and Tojo Yamamoto. Well he has nobody to be mad at but himself. He allowed an inferior wrestler to get in the ring with his future at stake. I mean did you see Austin Idol last Monday night. He was awful and because of that Lawler will lose his belt. Austin Idol: I am so sick of your mouth Humperdink. Last week I did lose a match that has put my dear friend Jerry Lawler in some trouble but if you keep running your mouth about it, I am going to stick my foot up your you know what! From out of nowhere comes Tojo Yamamoto and Plowboy Frazier and they put a beating on Austin Idol. Lawler rushes out to help his friend but he is no match for Yamamoto and Frazier by himself. He soon is met with the same fate as Idol. The House of Humperdink continue to beat Lawler and Idol until wrestlers and refs from the back come out and stop the attack. Humperdink: Did you just watch that. Your champion was busted open in less than two minutes. He was flat on his back at the hands of my wrestlers. Do you think it will be any different Monday night? The championship is so close I can taste it! Lance Russell: Well folks we are out of time tonight. Make sure to make it out to the Mid-South Coliseum on Monday night. It will be one to remember.

JYD is always in the center of any feid! Can't wait to follow this one

I am in

Thanks Dexstar. I would love to have seen that.

Great upcoming card. Really looking forward to reading about that. Love the Koloff vs Valentine angle.

Love the Muraco-Mr. Wrestling II match with the controversial ending. Sets up nicely for a rematch. The Fantastics seem to be moving up nicely but image an attack by the collection of OMG and the Blackjacks. Seems they might have some trouble down the road. I think you have the best TV duo in Ross and Watts. Mid-South is one of my favorite reads. Love the roster and the focus you give to your angles. Big names in big matches is fun to read.

Sounds good. Looking forward to reading about your tournament and your other angles that you got going.

Here we go! Dusty vs Sullivan! Florida Championship at its best. Love the way you set it up too. The scissors to the dress blues! I also find Purple Haze to be a wonderful side kick. So many great angles. Young vs Old, great wrestling family vs great wrestling family, Dusty and The family, The Briscos vs The Long Riders. Great show!!!!

CWA WRESTLING: MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE FROM THE MID-SOUTH COLISEUM: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1983 MATCH 1: MARK YOUNGBLOOD AND JULES STRONGBOW VS SWEET DADDY O AND BURRHEAD JONES Youngblood and Strongbow have been really well accepted here. They also continue to impress but they have not wrestled much competition as of yet. Again, they control the match from start to finish. This match ends as Jules Strongbow catches Burrhead Jones in The Gory Special (a back to back backbreaker) and Jones is forced to submit at 4:54. MATCH 2: OLE ANDERSON AND BILL ASH VS THE DIRTY WHITE BOYS It is youth vs experience in this tag match. The fans are solidly behind The Dirty White Boys but this has as much to do with their memories of Bill Ash from years ago than anything else. They are still unsure of how to react to Ole Anderson. All they know is that someday he is going to catch his brother, Lars, and it is going to be one to remember. The Dirty White Boys control the tempo in the beginning and even almost gain a quick victory after Tony Anthony caught Bill Ash with a Bucksnort Blaster (Choke slam) but Ole made the save after a 2 count by ref Paul Morton. This led to Ole cleaning house and giving Ash a few moments to recovery. Ash legally tags in Ole and he just beats the crap out of the youngster, Len Denton. Denton was game but just took one too many chops before going to the canvass. Once on the mat, Ole started wearing down the right arm before he eventually clamped in the Anderson Arm Bar and gained the victory by submission at 11:15. MATCH 3: MISSISSPIPPI VALLEY TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH THE MINNESOTA WRECKING CREW (LARS AND GENE ANDERSON) VS MOONDOG MORETTI AND HACKSAW HIGGANS It appears the promoter has made a mistake in the order of the matches. While Team O&A had just won the last match and are walking off, the ring announcer introduces the challengers for the next match. Lars Anderson walks to the ring just as Ole is walking out of the ring. Ole Anderson takes this opportunity to attack Lars. After a few brutal chops and punches, Ole is able to lock in the Anderson Armbar and is pulling so hard, that Lars appears injured. Gene did nothing to interfere in the fight between his two brothers but now he must wrestler this match without a partner. Moretti and Hacksaw Higgins are just too strong and are able to easily defeat Gene by himself after a powerslam by Moondog Moretti and 6:34. Gene gave a valiant effort but really had no chance. As soon as the match ended, Ole rushed back to the ring to protect Gene in case of further attack by the champions. Gene just shook his head and looked upset at the whole situation. He doesn’t seem to be angry at Ole just saw this match as a lost opportunity in a career he knows is winding down. Ole and Gene actually embrace and walk back to the locker room together. MATCH 4: THE COMMONWEALTH with JR FOLEY VS TROY GRAHAM AND LUKE GRAHAM JR Foley leads Butch Miller and Lumberjack Pierre to the ring. Foley, waving the British Commonwealth flag, is sporting his usual Hitler mustaches and is dressed in army fatigues. Since his arrival a few weeks back, he has vowed destruction on the American wrestler and thus far he has provided it. The fans are hoping that tonight will be different. They hope that Troy Graham and Wildman Luke Graham will put up a great fight. As the match begins, it is evident that this will be a war. Luke Graham is very similar to the Commonwealth in his rough and unorthodox style. Troy Graham is also not afraid to mix it up and both teams have their moments. While ref Paul Morton had his back turned, Luke Graham caught Lumberjack Pierre with an illegal taped thumb jab to the throat. Butch Miller saw this and rushed after Luke Graham. Paul Morton now had his hands full as Pierre was rolling around on the mat having trouble breathing and Butch Miller was taking on both Graham brothers. While Morton had lost control, JR Foley smoothly climbed the apron, walked into the ring and WHAM, hit Luke Graham over the head with the flagpole. Graham was out of it and busted wide open. As the referee came back to the in-ring action, he saw Pierre laying on Luke and made the 3 count for the victory at 17:58. The fans were upset that JR Foley got away with this but what is good for the goose is good for the gander! Luke Graham started the illegal stuff! MATCH 5: PLOWBOY FRAZIER AND STAN HANSEN with Sir Oliver Humperdink VS AUSTIN IDOL, SUPERSTAR GRAHAM This match pits good vs evil but this time, if the House of Humperdink wins, they get a 2-1 title match next Monday night in the Mid-South Coliseum. . If Idol and Humperdink win, Humperdink must give Idol and Graham $10,000 of his own money which he has brought to the ring in a steel suitcase. Idol and Frazier start the match and Idol uses his quickness to throw about 10 right jabs that connect with Frazier’s face. Idol bounces off the ropes and tries to move the 6’10, 475 pounder but only seems to bounce off and land on the mat shaking his head. Again, Idol bounces of the ropes but Frazier catches him with a huge body bump and Idol goes flying. Frazier now tags in Sabu. From here on out, the match has many momentum changes. The biggest change was caused by Sir Oliver Humperdink. With Graham and Frazier in the ring, he jumped up on the apron and started waving the suitcase at Ref Jerry Calhoun. It looked as if he was offering a bribe to Calhoun but Calhoun just ordered him off the apron. WHAM! Frazier whipped Graham right into Humperdink. It looks like Graham has hit his head on that steel suitcase and he is down. Frazier tags in Sabu who is like a madman. He is nailing Graham with head-butt after head-butt and followed those up with some martial art like chops. Somehow Graham is able to tag Idol back in but he gets more of the same treatment. Idol just seems a little off in this match. Frazier looked to really telegraph a huge elbow drop but Idol is unable to roll away. Frazier just follows the elbow drop up with a pin. Idol kicks out right after the three count and the House of Humperdink wins a rather easy match at 14:11. The House of Humperdink gets another shot at Jerry Lawler’s title next Monday night but this time it will be 2-1 handicapped match. MATCH 6: AWA SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH THE JAPANESE ASSASSINS VS THE ROCK N ROLL EXPRESS The Rock N Roll Express, the AWA Southern Tag Team Champions enter the ring to KISS and “Rock N Roll All Night.” The fans are excited to see their champs back with the titles after last weeks near disaster. Tonight they face the #1 contenders in the CWA and the last time they wrestled saw a rather strange ending. Magic Dragon locked in the Rolling Japanese Sleeper which has seen many opponents tap out. It looked like that was the fate of The RnR Express but the ref declared the hold a choke and disqualified The Japanese Assassins. CWA President Ed Marlin has declared the move legal and gave the Japanese Assassins another chance here tonight to win the AWA Southern Tag Titles. As the Japanese Assassins are guided to the ring by Sir Oliver Humperdink, the fans are hoping Humperdink stays out of the match. Most believe that to only be wishful thinking. The Magic Dragon, face painted puts on a little knun chuck show wile entering the ring while Goro Tsurumi puts on a kendo stick display. These two are really talented and dangerous. As the match starts, it is the RnR Express who takes control but it is short lived. Both teams are so talented on defense and in the art of tag team wrestling that there are many quick tags and reversals in the early going. The Japanese Assassins take control after a double team on Gibson that included many martial art like kicks. After one more tag, Gibson was on the canvass after a savat like kick from Goro followed by a baseball slide drop kick by Magic Dragon. From here, Dragon locked in the Rolling Japanese Sleeper and it looked like this title reign may be very short for the RnR Express. Morton rushed into the ring and took on both Assassins for a moment and forced Dragon to break the hold. As the ref pushed him back, the Assassins went for another double team but Gibson rolled away for the tag. From here, Morton took control and now the Rock N Roll Express used their double team repertoire to gain momentum. After a double missile drop kick on Dragon, the RnR Express nailed Goro with the same move. Gibson locked in the Gibson leglock on Dragon. Instead of accepting defeat, as Dragon was about to submit, Humperdink called for re-enforcements from the back. Tojo Yamamoto hits the ring and was like a caged animal. Punching, kicking and biting at the Express. While Goro and Dragon took care of Gibson, Humperdink and this other wrestler controlled Morton. Finally, Tojo caught Morton in a stomach claw while Magic Dragon had Gibson in another rolling sleeper. From the back came Mark Youngblood, Jules Strongbow, Luke Graham and Troy Graham and The House of Humperdink beat a hasty retreat. While they did not defeat the Express for the titles, the House of Humperdink continues its reign of destruction. The Rock n Roll Express win by DQ at 25:23 but they need to be helped to the back. Wow, who was that new wrestler? And Sir Oliver Humperdink keeps adding to his stable. MATCH 7: NWA MID AMERICAN TITLE MATCH “HACKSAW” BUTCH REED VS BRUISER BRODY 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS/FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE So far, Bruiser Brody is the only one to slow down Hacksaw Reed. His style and power match up well against Reed and the crowd is hoping he can win the title from Reed. As the match starts, Brody comes out on fire and catches Reed with a Mauling Knee Smash right to the chin. He keeps control with a series of powerful moves that included a one handed bodyslam. After an Irish Whip, Bruiser Brody clobbers Reed with a Massive Heart Punch. This move is normally illegal but this is a no DQ match. The Heart Punch gained Brody the first pin at 8:42. The second fall seems to be a carbon copy of the first. Brody’s power, style and speed keep Reed off balance and he still seems to be suffering from the Heart Punch. Brody rushed in one too many times and Reed caught him with a knee. It was now Reed’s time to shine and show his power. A vertical suplex followed by an impressive Gorilla Press Slam on the 6’8 monster gained Reed the second fall at 9:21. The third fall was text book Brody as it was all over the arena. After they both toppled out of the ring, they just decided to brawl all over the place. At one point Brody crushed Reed with a chair and rammed his head into the ring post. Reed’s face was like a crimson mask but he was able to kick out of each pin attempt. Reed was able to get back to his feet and block two of Brody’s huge overhead chops. From there, Reed starting throwing his own haymakers. Brody falls back into the steel barricade that separates the fans from the wrestlers. Brody ended up sitting against the barricade and Reed saw his chance. He sprinted full speed at Brody and dove through the air and caught him with a spear into the steel barricade. Reed gives out a mighty roar as his adrenaline is really pumping. He scoops up Brody into another Gorilla Press Slam and this time drops him head first across the steel barricade. Brody is now also busted wide open and is also set up for the pin. 1…. 2…. 3…. What a match. Reed pinned Brody at 14:46 to win the third and final fall. The CWA fans hate Reed and the Army but they must respect Reed’s ability. MATCH 8: BIG RED REESE AND ERNIE LADD VS JUNK YARD DOG + A MYTERY PARTNER Well JYD has really given everything he’s got into this feud with Ladd’s Army. He vowed that tonight’s partner will put him over the top. Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” begins to blare but the fans don’t know what to do. Just to be a thorn in the side of JYD, Ladd has adopted this as his entrance song so the fans do not know who it is that is about to enter the ring. When they see it is Ladd and Reese, a chorus of boos as loud as has ever been heard in the Mid-South Coliseum begins to rock the building. Ladd just takes this opportunity to yell back at the crowd on his way the ring. Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” begins to blare again and now those boos are changed to cheers as they now know it is JYD. JYD comes out half way to the ring but he is all alone. The fans fear that nobody was willing to join in the fight against Ladd. Ladd and his men recently joined together with Humperdink to rid the CWA of the likes of Lawler and JYD and maybe JYD’s partner deemed it too dangerous to come to Memphis. As Dog got a little closer to the ring, he stopped and tuned around and waved to the back. The fans could not believe their eyes. One of the most popular and best wrestlers in the NWA was joining JYD in the ring! It was none other than the masked legend himself. Mr. Wrestling II! JYD and II ride the momentum in the early stages of the match and they are able to keep Ladd and Reese off balance. Ladd is able to catch II with an overhand chop to gain the advantage. From there he catches II with a BIG BOOT after an Irish Whip. Ladd was unable to go for the pin as the BIG BOOT caused II to fall through the ropes and out onto the floor. JYD goes to protect him but is attacked by Reese. Reese and Ladd turn their attention to JYD as they believe II to be injured. Ladd connects with a BIG BOOT on JYD who is now down. While this was going on, II had recuperated and re-entered the ring to break the 10 count. Ladd was holding JYD down as Reese climbed up on the ring apron on the other side. Reese was about to nail JYD with a Holy Ghost Splash from the ring apron when II ran up from behind and pushed him off. Reese landed right on Ladd. II quickly ran out of the ring as Reese went to aid Ladd. As Reese turned around, II grabbed the back of his head and WHAM! Mr. Wrestling II caught Reese with a Million Dollar Knee Lift. II went back in the ring as the legal man. Ref Paul Morton counted to 10 with neither Ladd nor Reese ever got up. Morton called for the bell and declared JYD and II the winner by count-out at 21:09 After the ref raised the hands of JYD and II, another masked man rushed to the ring with a chair and hit both Ladd and Reese over the head just as they were staggering to their feet. He then ex[KC1] ited just as quickly as he had appeared. JYD and II looked at each other in a confused way. They seem to have no idea who this masked wrestler was. MATCH 9: NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH JERRY LAWLER VS HARLEY RACE The World Champion comes to the ring to a chorus of boos and you must wonder where his confidence level is after Jerry Lawler almost pinned him two nights ago in a 5 minute match. This one will be 30 minutes and Handsome Harley Race will have nowhere to hide. One must also wonder if he is looking too far ahead to his match win Ric Flair at Starrcade in just a few days. Jerry Lawler is next to the ring and the crowd goes wild. They all truly believe that he is the best in the world and would love to see him with the championship belt around his waist. The match starts with a bit of a feeling out process but Race is able to get the first advantage after he slipped a collar and elbow lockup and caught Lawler with a double eye gouge. From here it was a series of power moves that included a near fall after Bridging Fisherman Suplex but Lawler was able to kick out of Ref Jerry Calhoun’s count at 2. Race stayed on the advantage until he made the mistake of going for his patented Diving Head-butt from the middle rope. Lawler rolled out at the last second and after a minute to gather himself, Lawler was now on the advantage. He tried every trick in the book but couldn’t gain a pin or submission from the champ. Lawler locked in his sleeper but Race was able to get to the ropes and force the break. Lawler caught him with his Royal Backbreaker but Race would just not submit. Lawler even nailed a fist drop from the top rope but Race was able to drape his foot across the bottom rope before the count of 3. Both men believed that their only chance to claim victory might be to break a few rules. The match became a bit of a slugfest with neither man backing down. With time winding down Lawler did nail one more fist drop but again Race kicked out at the count of two. Lawler went to the well one too many times and this time Race rolled out on Lawler’s top rope fist drop. Both men laid in the center of the ring as time expired. The crowd was so impressed by both wrestlers that they gave a standing ovation. After a few minutes, they were both able to get to their feet. Race and Lawler had a new found respect for each other and raised each other’s hand. Race was first to exit the ring and go back to the locker room. Lawler was left in the ring to ponder what could have been. The next thing you know, JR Foley is making his way to the ring waving the flag of the British Commonwealth. The fans are unsure of what is next as this guy is capable of doing anything. Lawler is so exhausted from the match with Race that they are nervous. JR Foley: Mr. Lawler. I would like to congratulate you on your match. For an American, you really wrestled well. But as I said, for an American. The fans are unsure what that means. NO, NO, could that really be him? It is! Kilt and all! It’s Rowdy Roddy Piper! Piper walks to the ring and climbs in and the fans can’t believe he is here in CWA. Piper shrugs his shoulders as if to say no problem and he turns to the fans. Lawler loses focus for just a second and wham! A Low blow by Piper as he lifted his right knee into the groin of Lawler. Lawler falls down onto both knees. Wham! A huge right hand and Lawler is out cold. Lawler is out cold and the fans can’t believe Lawler now has to deal with Ladd’s Army, The House of Humperdink and ROWDY RODDY PIPER! [KC1]

Looking forward to it

Memphis sends Mike Graham home to Florida and Florida sends Rowdy Roddy Piper to Memphis

Great show! Love the VonErich vs Singh idea. Would love to see VonErich and Dusty fight the entire Family. The spoiled brat role of Lord Alfred Hayes was fun to read but I hope the Briscos are careful of who they let manage their money. I like Bass as a babyface. I think he actualy did play that role in Florida when he first started then he turned on Dusty.

Very interesting card with well developed angles. . Again, I enjoy the family angle of Fuller/Welch. I actually find myself rooting for Mr. Saito as I read your events. Just think he was awesome as a heel. Not sure if I would be very happy with the :01 second match with Tully and Duggan. That would have been the match I was talking about all week and then I never got to really see it.

CWA WRESTLING: 11/19/1983: MSC STUDIOS (Memphis) FEED RECEIVED IN WESTERN TENNESSEE, NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI EASTERN ARKANSAS, SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND PARTS OF INDIANA AND KENTUCKY! Lance Russell: "Hello again, everybody! Lance Russell and Dave Brown here again for CWA Wrestling in Memphis, TN. Let’s get right to our first segment, “This Week in the CWA.” Dave take it away. Dave Brown: Well thank you Lance and great to be with you and all the wrestling fans here in the CWA. Let me get all the fans caught up on all the action from this past week. · First it was an amazing week in the Tag Team Division. The Rock N Roll Express put their AWA Southern Tag Titles on the line in Evansville against none other than The Road Warriors. If the Rock N Roll Express won the match, they would earn an AWA World Tag Team Title shot. Well, the worst possible thing for CWA fans occurred when the Road Warriors defeated the Rock N Roll Express and held both the AWA World Title and the AWA Southern Tag Title. As per CWA rules, any champion who loses their belts can demand a rematch. Well the Rock N Roll Express did not waste any time. They demanded their rematch be 24 hours later in Louisville Gardens. This time, the Rock N Roll Express defeated the Road Warriors when Morton and Gibson nailed Hawk with a double toe hold elbow drop combo and gained the pin. One again, the Rock N Roll Express are the AWA Southern Tag Team Champions. They also proved they can defeat the Road Warriors and that they deserve another World Title Shot. · CWA President has suspended Mike Graham for 1 year for his interference in the Texas Bull Rope Match between Jerry Lawler and Stan Hansen. Before leaving the CWA, Mike Graham said he interfered because he was just trying to level the playing field as Sir Oliver Humperdink was already attacking Jerry Lawler with his walking stick. He also said that he is heading back down to Florida to his father’s promotion as Kevin Sullivan is causing havoc. We wish Mike Graham all the success in the world. · Junk Yard Dog continues to be a thorn in the side of Ernie Ladd’s Army as this past Monday he teamed with Troy Graham and they defeated Pork chop Cash and Big Red Reese. The victory came with a clean pin as Dog delivered numerous head-butts to Reese in quick succession as Cash and Graham were going at it on the floor. Also, in terms of JYD, he will be making his first TV appearance in CWA Wrestling tonight. · And lastly, if our tag team division was not crowded enough, this week saw two new teams. First Ole Anderson and Bill Ash formed Team O&A and were successful in their first match. The other team to make a successful debut was Jules Strongbow and Mark Youngblood. Two magnificent tag team wrestlers who have held numerous championships throughout the U.S. Lance Russell: “Wow Dave some great things happening here in the CWA. What a show we have tonight but before we get to the ring, we have a very special treat for you wrestling fans. Joining us here in studio is the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Harley Race! Harley Race: Well thank you Mr. Russell but to tell you the truth, it is not a pleasure to be here. I mean as the NWA Champion, I am supposed to travel to all the territories and represent the entire NWA. Lance Russell: I understand that all of the travel must get to you. Harley Race: No, that is not what I meant. I understand why I need to go to Atlanta, Greensboro, St. Louis and New Orleans but not Memphis. I mean the other places are wrestling hotbeds. This is just the sticks were farm boys pretend to wrestle. Lance Russell: Have you ever heard of the “King,” Jerry Lawler? Harley Race: Of course I have heard of Lawler but who named him King? Himself? Jerry Lawler: Well if it isn’t Mr. I DQ myself to save my belt. Welcome to Memphis. I have been listening to you for a few minutes and I am sick and tired Harley Race: I have been listening to you Lawler for only a few seconds and now I am sick. Jerry Lawler: You better watch it. I have respect for that belt but not for you. Harley Race: Have you noticed this is my first trip to Memphis? That’s because you and the rest of the CWA are not worth my time. Jerry Lawler: Why don’t we just see about that? You are dressed in your wrestling attire and I am in jeans and a tee shirt. I bet I can beat you right here and right now. Harley Race: You won’t last 5 minutes in a ring with me you Memphis Hick and if you do, I will give you a shot at the NWA Title this Monday Night in your own hometown. Yes, right here in Memphis at the Mid-South Coliseum. Lance Russell: What do you think of that Jerry Lawler? Jerry Lawler: Get a ref down here now. I am the next champ of the NWA! Match #1: Harley Race vs Jerry Lawler: 5 Minute Time Limit Jerry Lawler and Harley Race are both steaming after the interview and the match starts with a slugfest. Lawler gets the best of it and follows the punches up with a knee to the gut. From there it is a Royal Backbreaker which Race doesn’t submit to. After the hold is broke, Lawler goes right back on the warpath and has Race at his mercy. Lawler actual nails a top rope fist drop on Race and as Morton begins to count the pin, the bell rings. The 5 minutes are up and Race is thanking God he survived. Lawler wants more but Morton forces him to his corner. This will be some match at the Mid-South Coliseum on Monday. Race might have bitten off more than he can chew. Lance Russell: Well fans, I can tell you to get your tickets for the Mid-South Coliseum this Monday night. It will be one to remember. We will be right back! >> Lance Russell runs down the upcoming schedule for the CWA! November 12: Johnson City, TN at Freedom Hall November 13: Forest City, Arkansas at the National Guard Armory November 14: Memphis, TN at the Mid-South Coliseum November 15: Evansville, IN at the Soldiers & Sailors Coliseum November 16: Louisville KY at the Louisville Gardens November 17: Nashville TN at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds November 18: Caruthersville, Missouri at Hopke Fieldhouse Lance Russell: Well guys, what a week you had. From losing the AWA Southern Titles to winning they back just 24 hours later. I mean, you guys proved you can beat the Road Warriors. Ricky Morton: That’s right Lance, those two are tough but I knew we could beat them. I just hope that the AWA sees that and gives us another shot. I mean I do not care if we have to go to Chicago, St Paul or Alaska for all I care. We have had one goal for a long time and that’s to be World Champions. Lance Russell: Very true but you have a lot of competition right here in the CWA. Robert Gibson: Again Lance, that is all true. First up will be The Japanese Assassins who feel our victory last week against them was tainted. It was an obvious choke hold by Magic Dragon and they deserved to be disqualified. Lance Russell: Well if you are able to beat Sir Oliver Humperdink and his Assassins, they are many other teams here wanting a shot at your titles. Ricky Morton: That’s for sure. The Commonwealth, The Minnesota Wrecking Crew, Moondog Moretti and Hacksaw Higgins, Team O&A. I mean we have our work cut out for us but that’s great. The better our matches are here, the better I prepares us for the World Title. Lance Russell: Well we will just have to wait and see and good luck fellas. Lance Russell: Well Dave, let’s get to our next match. Dave Brown: ok Lance, this will be our first chance to see the team of Mark Youngblood and Jules Strongbow in studio. MATCH #2: Mark Youngblood and Jules Strongbow vs Mark Savage and Scott Ferris. As would be expected, Youngblood and Strongbow are just so good at the art of tag team wrestling and were able to use quick tags and double team moves to stay in control of the match. The end came when Youngblood nailed Mark Savage with a fall down back body drop for the pin at 4:38. Lance Russell: Well those guys are off to a great start in CWA! Let’s see if they can keep it up as they begin to step up in competition. We will be right back. REPLAY FOR PROMO OF UPCOMING EVENTS> Lance Russell: "We're back and let’s get right to the ring! Take it away Dave. MATCH #3: King Cobra vs Randy Barber King Cobra, a member of Ladd’s Army, enters to a chorus of boos but it doesn’t mother him as he controls the entire match. After a few minutes of destruction, he catches Barber in a flying head scissors and follows it up with the cobra clutch and gains the submission at 4:02. Just as ref, Paul Morton raises his hand and King Cobra lifts his fist to the sky in a symbol of Black Power, a masked man sneaks up behind him and levels him with a steel chair to the back. The masked man salutes Cobra in a taunting way, most likely in reference to Ladd’s Army and walks out the ring as Ladd and Hacksaw Reed rush to the ring just a moment too late to catch the masked wrestler. Lance Russell: Well, I must say, I didn’t see that one coming. Ernie Ladd: Of course you didn’t Russell. That was just another attack by a cowardly white man. We have been dealing with this since the beginning of time. Just like the KKK when they hide behind a mask and terrorize my people. This is no different. Whoever you were, I dare you to show your face and be a man. If you want a fight, we will give you one. CWA wrestling, be on notice. My Army was attacked tonight without provocation. We will get revenge on anyone we feel is our enemy! BLACK POWER. Lance Russell: Of, well this is a situation we will have to keep our eyes on. Let’s get back to the ring. Match #4: Bill Ash and Ole Anderson vs Sweet Daddy O and Burrhead Jones Team O & A wrestled together for the first time this past week and they really worked well together. This was just a match where they were too physical for their opponents. Ole Anderson seems to enjoy dishing out punishment. His chops are so loud they echo through the studio. Bill Ash is only 5’10 and 225 pounds but he makes up for this in pure nastiness. Ash takes Sweet Daddy O down and Team O & A went to work on the right arm. A few quick tag later, Ole locks in the Anderson Arm Bar and the match is over. Team O & A win by submission in 5:45. Lance Russell: Welcome congratulations on your win tonight but I must say I was surprised when you two joined together... Ole Anderson: Lance, I am unsure why you are surprised. Bill Ash is like myself in that he is nasty and downright mean. He doesn’t care what the fans think and he is very goal orientated. Bill Ash: Ole has always been a wrestler I have admired. When he asked me to be his partner, I was more than pleased. Lance Russell: Ole, you said goal orientated. What are your goals? Ole Anderson: My one and only goal is to rid wrestling of my brother, Lars. If Bill or I happen to take his TV Title along the way, so be it! Lance Russell: What about his current tag team partner, Gene Anderson, your other brother. Ole Anderson: I have no qualms with Gene but if he gets in my way of ridding wrestling of Lars, he will be collateral damage. Lance Russell: Well that is a very interesting situation. We need to take a break. As we go to break, take a look at the newest CWA Ratings. A RANKINGS AS OF 11/18 SINGLES: TAG TEAMS: 1. Jerry “The King” Lawler 1. The Rock N Roll Express 2. “Hacksaw” Butch Reed 2. The Japanese Assassins 3. Austin Idol 3. Moondog Moretti & Hacksaw Higgins 4. Stan Hansen 4. The Commonwealth 5. Junk Yard Dog 5. Big Red Reese and Porkchop Cash 6. Ernie Ladd CWA CHAMPIONS: 7. Lars Anderson 1. Southern Heavyweight Champ: Jerry Lawler 8. Plowboy Frazier 2. Southern Tag Team Champions: Rock N Roll Express 9. Troy Graham 3. Mid-American Champion: Hacksaw Butch Reed 10. Sabu 4. CWA TV TITLE: Lars Anderson 5. MS Valley Tag Title: Moretti & Higgins MATCH 5: Plowboy Frazier with Sir Oliver Humperdink vs Scott Ferris A total squash match. The 6’10, 475 pound Frazier was just too much. He landed on Scott Ferris with a Giant Splash and that was all she wrote. Frazier wins by pin in at 4:58. Lance Russell: Well Sir Oliver Humperdink, what is on your mind this week? Humperdink: Pencil Nose, I am sick and tired of the Lawler Rules. I mean the way the CWA gives him everything he wants and makes sure he doesn’t lose the AWA Southern Title is ridiculous. Did anybody forget that he was to face Stan Hansen again this Monday in the Mid-South Coliseum but I guess that was thrown out the window. I mean big deal! He lasted 5 minutes with Harley Race and now he gets a World Title Shot! That’s what I am talking about with the Lawler Rules. He gets special treatment. I mean my man Stan Hansen had him dead to rights last week in Evansville Lance Russell: Well you had something to do with that after you hit Jerry Lawler repeatedly with your walking stick. Humperdink: Pencil Nose, be careful what you say. You have no footage of that show and if you say things you can’t back up, I will sue you in a court of law. Now speaking of suing someone. I am having my lawyers looking into a lawsuit against Mike Graham as we speak. He interfered in the match and caused Stan Hansen not to win the title. Lance Russell: I think he was just evening out the sides and did you forget he has been suspended for 1 year for his actions. Humperdink: Shut up pencil nose! His suspension does not make up for costing me the title. I went to Ed Marlin at the beginning of the show and demanded Lawler face the music this Monday in Memphis but was denied satisfaction when he said Lawler is facing Race! Lance Russell: Well guys, let’s try and keep some order here tonight. Austin Idol: Well Humpty Dumpty you look like you have seen a ghost! You think you are sick and tired of us, well we have had enough of the House of Dumpty Jerry Lawler: Nobody says Lawler doesn’t keep his word. Nobody in his right mind would turn down a world title match but for once, I think you make a valid point Humpty! How is this for fair! Your house of humpty vs Austin Idol and Superstar Graham at the Mid-South Coliseum on Monday. If you win, I face any 2 members of your stable the following week at the Mid-South Coliseum. Humperdink: That’s seems like a deal! Idol: What a minute Humperdink. You have to give up something in this deal! Humperdink: Wait? What do you want? Idol: You are always bragging about your money. We want $5000 from you when we win. You must bring it to the ring prior to the match or no deal! Humperdink: That’s all. First of all, The House won’t lose to you guys in a million years so the money will not change hands anyway. And then, it is Lawler vs 2 of my men in Evansville? Deal The whole House of Humperdink is all over Lawler, Graham, and Idol. Idol seems to be taking the worst of it as this Japanese wrestler is kicking, punching, biting and stomping liked a caged animal. Idol is busted wide open. Lawler and Graham are making out ok.> The crowd goes wild as JYD hits the scene and is throwing haymaker after haymaker. The House of Humperdink can’t stand the heat and beat it back to the locker room. Lance Russell: Well what a pleasure to finally have you in studio Mr. JYD and I would like to thank you for helping Jerry and the rest of the good guys here in CWA. JYD: Man the Dog is really needed here in Memphis. I thought it was just Ladd and his stupidity that brought me here but Humperdink…, you got the Dog real mad! I am howling mad! Don’t you dare think you can get away with that on Monday night! I am new here but these guys around me now are like my family! We got each other’s back. Lawler: Thanks JYD and I have all the confidence in the world of Austin and Superstar! Idol: I understand that Jerry has a shot at the World Title! I would never ask him to give that up. We will take on Humperdink for you and don’t worry about anything. JYD, good luck in your match with the Army and we got your back to! I can’t wait to go out for a night on the town and spend Humperdink’s $5000. Oh Baby! Lance Russell: Well thanks guys but JYD you have a match waiting for you in the ring right now. It is a match against Ladd’s Army! JYD: Rufff , arrrrhhhhh arrrrhhhhhh. The Dog is taking a bite out of crime! Let’s get ready to THUMP! MATCH 6: JUNK YARD DOG vs Porkchop Cash The fans go nuts as Queen and “Another One Bites the Dust blares over the speakers. JYD has been chasing Ladd’s Army for a month now and the fans finally get to see it on TV. This would be a main event anywhere in the country and for TV it is unheard of. The match shows JYD in all his glory. While Cash did have a few moments with the upper hand, JYD and the dog antics were in full effect. After a series of huge head butts followed by Big Thump (a powerslam), Dog gains the pin at the 9:42 mark. Lance Russell: Well wait a minute fellas, you have no business being out here. Ernie Ladd: Just like that mangy mutt has no business being in Memphis and interfering in the Army’s work. Instead of waiting for any other remarks, the Dog just goes on the attack! He is all over Ladd but can only sustain it for a minute. It is quickly 3-1 with Cash and Reese helping Ladd. Lawler and the Rock N Roll Express rush out as does Hacksaw Reed and King Cobra. It is brawl to end all brawls but the Army has a 5-4 advantage and it pays off. The crowd begins to roar as Austin Idol, who was just injured comes out to even the sides. The fighting is all over the arena. Oh No, the House of Humperdink with the Japanese Assassins, Yamamoto and Plowboy Frazier join in the fight. Lawler, Idol, JYD and The Rock N Roll Express are overwhelmed and laying all over the studio. Humperdink and Ladd look at each other and ……… OH MY GOD, NO! Ladd and Humperdink shake hands. All of the evil in the CWA is now united against Lawler and his men. MONDAY AT THE MID-SOUTH COLISEUM IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE · Ole Anderson and Bill Ash vs The Dirty White Boys · Mississippi Valley Title Match: Moretti and Higgins vs The Minnesota Wrecking Crew · The Commonwealth with JR Foley vs Troy and Luke Graham · Austin Idol and Superstar Graham vs The House of Humperdink: If Idol and Graham wins, Humperdink pays them $5000.

After looking at some of the rules, I also found a place that said after 6 months their would be a redraft where you could protect 10 people. I did not find a place that changed that rule. Is this still true or was that voted out someplace? If not, then even the dead promotions would be open to be drafted again.

The reason the other site never had any changes was one person was in complete charge. He made the rules, set the roster size did everything including posting your events and that is why the other game failed. He was the one who quit. In terms of this game, there seems to be more of a board of directors and things are put to a vote. As people come in and out, opinions of those in the game may change. It appears that there are very few of the original people still active in the game. We do need to entice new writers but to what extent? The more dormant territories there are does take some of the fun away from this as so many A listers are not being booked Discussion is good while arguments are bad. It is not the worse thing to revisit issues to ensure those still active want to remain in the current version of the game. I am not saying we need to change our rules but the game continue to adapt to survive. Communication and votes on new ideas or even revisited ideas seems fine to me. We must continue to listen to those who are interested or they will see not be interested.

Great show with lots of quality interviews and angles. I must admit I miss David VonErich as a heel. Love the use of Stanly Blackborn and The Lothario claims. Great Intro with Adnan causing havoc with the legal issues. Love the TN Stud and the family feud. The Fab Ones seem to be a bit out of it but I am sure they will rebound.

Memphis would like Abbie on Jan 30
