I also am not sure where Tojo Yamamoto belongs. He is either Memphis or Mid-South

Hope is all ok and looking forward to your return

Thanks for the review and the use of JYD and Wrestling II. Looking forward to the draft.

I am in for Saturday

It is just incredible how well you do Dusty! It is my favorite interview of any promotion. I love the Brisco/Bass and Harris feud. Not only is the fued interesting, the Briscos themselves are. I keep wondering if they will ever turn on Lord Alfred Hayes and t is one of the things I look forward to reading in your promotion. I also enjoy how you do not rush your youth to greatness. Great work with Henig and VonErich. They are both going to primed and ready for greatness. Dusty and a US Marine vs Sullivan is classic. Would like to see more sadistic stuff from Sullivan's family. In terms of your interviews, I found the Dusty one easier to read than some of the first ones in the show because you skipped lines. I think that format worked best for you. I hope the Mike Graham deal works well for you. Thank you for the deal. Good luck going forward.

Love your main event. Great use of the top of your roster. Looking forward to JYD and Blanchard in the future if you choose to got that route. Great interview with Superstar Graham. You have gotten ore out of him in a couple of promos then I did in a couple of months. I am learnig how to use him better from you. Thanks

Great use of your roster. Long seeing your top 2 teams in action again as the main event with Hogan gone. Also love the idea of Parson hanging on as champ at least as long as he is involved with the Patera/Mike George feud.

36+3 for roster size or else we would actually be making our rosters smaller

Andre as a freelancer is great

I like the idea of keeping 15 and a limit of 36. I am in whenever the draft is ready to go.

Sounds great. I am in and will help in anyway. With major roster changes possible, I may wait util then to post new shows. I have 2 almost done and will try to finish those and then wait.

Did you not know that a few weeks ago?

I think we all understand that rules should be in place but it is because of so many people, including yourself, leaving at the same time, things need to be adjusted. In terms of too many Indians, I love the idea of majority rules. Why should one person have all the power in a game they do not own. This is for fun and everybody's definition of fun is different. In terms of new people wanting things in place, over the past few months that I have been involved, the only rule change that I saw was a roster cap agreed upon. I do not believe one or two adjustments in 2-3 months is major. I think we have trouble attracting new writers because of the time commitment. I do not believe there are that many people with this hobby to begin with and to say that an evolving game is the cause of a lack of participation is incorrect. Almost every person who has either taken a break or left the game has stated time or personal reasons. If you are more interested in something stable and with a chief, become the chief. I would always be interested in another game along these lines. Can you name one of these that exists today that has been going strong for years? I don't think so.

CWA WRESTLING: MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE FROM THE MID-SOUTH COLISEUM: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1983 MATCH 1: TOMMY LANE VS LUKE GRAHAM A great opening match that pits two fan favorites against each other but it is not what you would expect from the fan favorites. Luke Graham has never found a rule he likes or follows but the fans support him because he is anti-Ernie Ladd. Graham tries to indoctrinate Lane in the art of brutal beatings and has a lot of success. He might have underestimated his younger opponent who ducks under a right hand and then follows that up with a sustained attack that included a sidewalk slam and a jumping leg drop that almost gained him the victory. After regaining his advantage, Luke turned Lane away from Ref Paul Morton and caught him with a Golden Spike, (a tapped thumb to the throat) and got the three count. Luke Graham defeated Tommy Lane by pin at 9:21 MATCH 2: BILL ASH VS LARS ANDERSON Lars Anderson has agreed to fight his brother’s tag partner but hopes that tonight he can avoid any confrontations with Ole. As the match starts, it seems that Bill Ash is trying to settle the score for Ole and is in total control of Lars. Lars still seems a bit slow after the attack from Ole last Monday. Ash is able to work that injured right arm of Lars and appears that he will be going for the Anderson Armbar but Lars is able to turn the tide after he ducked under an elbow from Ash and caught him with a shoulder block. Lars took complete control but before he could gain the advantage, Ole hit the ring and went after Lars. Ref Jerry Calhoun calls for the bell and disqualified Bill Ash due to the interference by Ole at 8:06. Ole and Ash attack Lars 2-1 and have their way with him. Gene Anderson rushed down to the ring and steps in to stop the attack on Lars. This really gets Ole angry and he starts yelling at Gene to get out of his way. Gene refuses and seems to be saying that you will have to go through me to get to Lars. Ole seems to have such respect for Gene that he turns to leave. After one step away, Ole turns and sucker punches Gene. Ash now attacks Gene and Ole goes back to work on Lars. The attack ends with Lars and Gene screaming in agony as they are both trapped in the Anderson Armbar. Ole has Lars and Bill Ash has Gene. Other referees and CWA officials rush to the ring and separate the wrestlers. Lars and Gene seem to be in pain but both should be ok after a little medical attention. MATCH 3: MISSISSPIPPI VALLEY TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH MARK YOUNGBLOOD AND JULES STRONGBOW VS MOONDOG MORETTI AND HACKSAW HIGGINS Both teams enter the match undefeated in the CWA and their paths crossed this past Saturday on TV as the champs, Higgins and Moretti attacked Strongbow and Youngblood. The champions enter to a chorus of boos but they don’t seem to care. Moretti comes to the ring wearing studded wrist guards and a studded dog color. I guess his name is in full effect tonight. The challengers enter to a loud ovation as they too are decked out. Both Strongbow and Youngblood are wearing traditional Indian Headdresses and high wool boots. As the match starts, the challengers take control. They combine quick tags with a large repertoire of double teaming moves to keep the champs off balance. Mark Youngblood hits Higgins with a running front kick and then scoops him up for a fall down back body drop. As he goes for the pin, Moretti enters and makes the save but Strongbow also enters the ring. Four the next 3 minutes all 4 men are in the ring battling. After throwing Strongbow thru the ropes, Moretti goes to the corner and gets his studded wrist guards. While Higgins and Youngblood are doing battle, Moretti comes up from behind and nails Mark with the wrist guard. Youngblood goes down and Moretti proceeds to rake the studded guards across the forehead of Youngblood who is now wearing a crimson mask. Ref Jerry Calhoun calls for the bell and disqualifies the champions. Again, wrestlers and refs rush in from the back to break up the brawl. Mark Youngblood and Jules Strongbow are declared your winners by DQ at 11:31 but Higgins and Moretti retain the championship MATCH 4: THE DIRTY WHITE BOYS VS KING COBRA AND PORKCHOP CASH This is the one Tony Anthony has been waiting for. It’s his chance to get even with King Cobra, his former tag team partner who turned on him and joined Ladd’s Army. Cobra and Cash play games on who is going to start the match. For the Dirty White Boys it is Tony Anthony. This seems to be what Ladd’s Army wanted as they start Porkchop Cash who has a size advantage now. The 265 pound Cash uses his weight advantage to gain the momentum. From here it is a series of quick tags that allows them to keep the advantage. King Cobra whipped Anthony into the ropes but Anthony hooks his arms around the ropes which causes Cobra to miss a flying headscissors. From there it was a tag out to Len Denton. Denton might be young but he is all fight. He cleans house and both members of Ladd’s Army end up on the floor. Denton follows out and now all four wage war out on the concrete. Porkchop Cash is having his way with Tony Anthony by the ramp that leads to the ring while King Cobra has just slammed Denton with a dropkick which caused him to fall into the steel barricade between the wrestlers and the fans. The crowd begins to roar as that masked wrestler who has terrorized Ladd’s Army of late rushed to ringside with a chair. He begins to swing the chair at Cash who doesn’t see him. Just before the chair was to crash into Cash’s head, King Cobra hits a flying dropkick right into the chair which smashes right into the masked man’s face. Cash picks up the chair and begins to hit the masked man over and over again in the back of the head while King Cobra repeatedly kicks him in the ribs. Denton has re-entered the ring as the legal man. Referee Jerry Calhoun reaches 10 and has counted out Ladd’s Army. The Dirty White Boys are your winners at 13:45. The Dirty White Boys go out and once again attack Cash and Cobra. This allows the masked man to basically crawl to the back of the arena and escape further abuse. This is the first time any of Ladd’s man have been able to turn the tables on this masked man. MATCH 5: ROWDY RODDY PIPER with JR FOLEY VS BRIAN ADIAS JR Foley, who is quickly becoming the most hated man in the CWA, leads the cocky and brash Rowdy Roddy Piper to the ring while the bag pipes play Scotland the Brave. JR Foley is in the faces of the fans as he comes to the ring, screaming and pointing at the flag of the British Commonwealth. Brian Adias is already in the ring and must be a little concerned with his upcoming bout. Adias has been up and down of late but he has not wrestled many men the caliber of Piper. As the bell sounds, it is obvious the Piper is going to make an example of Adias. He uses a series of legal and illegal moves, from eye gouges to knee lifts to face ripping to a massive British Bull dog. Adias is just being tortured. After each move, Piper covers him only to pull him up after a count of two. After an Irish Whip on Adias, Piper catches him in a sleeper and Adias soon goes out. Ref Paul Morton calls for the bell at 7:42 but Piper refuses to break the hold. Foley comes into the ring and Foley and Morton proceed to have a screaming match. Morton threatens to reverse the decision and finally Piper breaks the sleeper. Foley and Piper continue to laugh and celebrate and scream out things about weak Americans. Morton again warns Piper that he is responsible to wake up Adias. Piper just laughs and takes the flagpole and gives Adias a good whack which jolts him back from his nap! Piper and Foley make a good team. One more pompous then the other. CWA better watch out for this combo! MATCH 6: AUSTIN IDOL AND SUPERSTAR GRAHAM VS THE COMMONWEALTH with JR FOLEY The fans are really hoping that Idol and Graham can put a stop to the Commonwealth after what they just saw with Piper, they are really tired of Foley’s antics. Butch Miller and Lumberjack seem to thrive on Foley’s confidence. Idol begins the match and you can see he is back to the regular Austin Idol and last week was just a fluke when he wrestled so poorly against the House of Humperdink. Tonight he is all over Butch Miller and Lumberjack Pierre. The same goes for Superstar Graham once he was tagged in. Foley tried to turn the momentum when he got up on the apron and distracted Graham long enough for Pierre to catch him with a forearm to the head. This knocked him off balance. Pierre followed that up with a big legdrop but when he went for the pin, Idol rushed in to make the save. As the ref forced Idol out of the ring, Miller and Pierre used the time to illegally double team Superstar with a battering ram. (Higgins held Miller’s head and rushed at Graham’s abdominal region knocking the wind out of him.) Again, Idol rushed in for the save. The last momentum change came after Idol was legally tagged in and rushed at Butch Miller who was on the apron and knocked him to the floor. He followed that up with a huge right hand to Pierre which knocked him to the canvass. Idol scooped up Pierre and nailed him with a piledriver. This was an illegal move in the CWA and ref Jerry Calhoun called for the bell disqualifying Idol and Graham but the crowd did not care. They loved seeing The Commonwealth down. Butch Miller rushed in to try and help his partner but before he reached Lumberjack Pierre, he was caught in a Superstar Bearhug. He was in a world of pain and again the crowd loved it. JR Foley was still on the outside of the ring going crazy. He wanted so bad to help his men but thought it wiser to stay on the floor. Graham and Idol left to the rousing approval of the fans while JR Foley screamed at Jerry Calhoun like it was his fault. The Commonwealth won by DQ at 19:56. MATCH 7: JYD, MR WRESTLING II AND TROY GRAHAM VS ERNIE LADD, HACKSAW REED AND BIG RED REESE Ladd’s Army enters the ring first with the speakers blasting “Another One Bites the Dust.” The crowd can’t stand Ladd and his men for all their racist ideas but they are furious that Ladd has the nerve to still JYD’s music. They should not be surprised as just a few weeks ago, Ladd tried to steal Jerry Lawler’s crown and title “King of the CWA.” After Ladd’s men reach the ring, the same music begins to blast and this time the fans are going wild. JYD and Mr. Wrestling II come to the ring but they appear to be alone. Where is Troy Graham? I mean all the people in the arena want Ladd to lose but if there is anyone who wants revenge it is Troy Graham. JYD and II explain to the ref that Graham is not here yet and that the match will begin 3-2. As the match begins, a complete brawl takes place. JYD holds his own and has the fans going wild with his dog like antics. He catches Ladd with a series of head-butts and is able to take control. Mr. Wrestling II was also in control of the match in his first turn in the ring. He actually had a near pin on Reed after a Million Dollar Knee life but Reese came crashing down on him with his 410 pounds to make the save. From there, the man advantage just proved too much. After working JYD over in their corner, Reed Gorilla Press slammed him and went for the cover. Mr. Wrestling II made the save but now Ladd and Reese worked on him. Ladd connected with a Big Boot which sent II outside the ring. JYD was still down from the slam when Reed tagged in Reese. Reese connected with a Holy Ghost Splash on JYD and that was all she wrote. Ladd’s Army won by pinfall at 18:23. MATCH 8: AWA SOUTHERN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH JERRY LAWLER VS TOJO YAMAMOTO AND PLOWBOY FRAZIER with Sir Oliver Humperdink This match is the result of Austin Idol being pinned by the House of Humperdink last week. Jerry Lawler enters to the cheers of his fans but even they believe this to be hopeless. The House of Humperdink has chosen Frazier and Yamamoto in this 2-1 match. The two of them plus Sir Oliver Humperdink seem rather smug on their way to the ring. They are verbally abusing the entire arena as the walk to the ring. As the match starts, its Lawler vs Frazier. The first few minutes see Lawler on the attack but it takes a great deal of energy to take the 475 pounder off his feet. This was accomplished by a few kicks to the knees that hobbled Frazier followed by what seemed to be 10 stiff right hands. Once Lawler had him on the ground, he went to work with a series of elbow drops. Yamamoto had seen enough and rushed into the ring and literally jumped on Lawler’s neck. While ref Paul Morton forced Yamamoto out of the ring, this tactic had given Frazier enough time to recover. He now made a legal tag and now the most hated wrestler in the entire world starts to maniacally attack Lawler. Everything from punches and kick followed by a few chops and even a little biting had Lawler in some trouble. Tojo had many attempts at gaining a submission with is famous stomach claw but Lawler would never give up. Frustrated, he tagged Frazier back in. Frazier continued the attack for a few more minutes before one last tag. Yamamoto held Lawler as Frazier hit the ropes and rushed at Lawler for a huge squash. Lawler broke free of Yamamoto at the last second and Plowboy hit his own partner by mistake. Yamamoto flew through the ropes as a stunned Frazier and a stunned Humperdink looked on in shock. Lawler quickly capitalized with a drop kick on Frazier followed by a top rope fist drop for the victory. Jerry Lawler was victorious by pinfall at 17:56. MATCH 9: AWA SOUTHERN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH ROCK n ROLL EXPRESS vs THE JAPANESE ASSASSINS with Sir Oliver Humperdink SCAFFOLD MATCH There is a bit of a break in the action as workers erect the 25 foot scaffold. The Japanese Assassins are first to the ring and they seem a little hesitant to climb the 25 foot scaffold to the top. Sir Oliver Humperdink looks up but he doesn’t seem to care about the well- being of his men and demands they get to the top. Reluctantly, Magic Dragon and Goro Tsurami begin the ascent. The speakers begin to blast, “Rock n Roll All Night” and the crowd goes wild. Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton also seem a bit nervous but quickly take their place atop the scaffold. The rules are simple, when both members of one team reach the floor, the other team wins. As the match starts, Gibson and Magic Dragon carefully make their way to the center of the ladders that join the two sides of the scaffold. They lock up collar and elbow. As they do this, Morton quickly crawls between both of their legs and is on Goro in a second. The teams continue to battle for a number of minutes but most of this is from a sitting position so they have a wide base for balance. Morton was able to catch Goro with an enzuguri kick which knocked him off balance. Goro ended up dangling from the side of one of the ladders and Ricky simple stomps on his hands until he lets go. Goro falls the 25 feet to the ring and appears to have hurt his ankle. Sir Oliver Humperdink is irate and begins to kick and scream. Magic Dragon begins to descend down the scaffold and it is hard to tell if he is quitting or hiding. Robert Gibson is in hot pursuit of him. Ricky Morton begins to come across the ladders like he is on the monkey bars when he was a kid. Magic Dragon sees this as a chance to at least take out one member of the Rock n Roll Express and starts to monkey bar at Ricky. They meet in the middle and begin to make giant swings at each other. Both were landing some heavy kicks to the chest of their opponent. Gibson is still in hot pursuit of Dragon and is monkey barring behind him. Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson are now alternating kicks on Magic Dragon. Ricky is hitting him in the chest and when he sways the other way, Robert is kicking him in the back. After about 3 rounds of this, Magic Dragon crashes to the ring. The Rock n Roll Express are the winners. At 15:21. Ricky and Robert careful monkey bar back across and descend to the ring as the crowd gives them a huge ovation. Sir Oliver Humperdink thought he was leaving with both major titles tonight and goes home empty handed.

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.

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.
