Nice job introducing the many new faces coming to PCW in 1988.

Another great preview show with all the angles coming together for Superclash. I give you credit for making Nikita a babyface. I know it is historically accurate but I still think it is hard to do. It is so easy to make the Russian heel story work but the much harder to write the other way around. Great job. Very interesting tag match with the Road Warriors vs The Bruise Brothers. I think the winner here will control the AWA tag division for a while. You have always done a great job of developing the midcard feuds but I think the Gerry Morrow thing is your best work. You have made Morrow vs Blackwell into Must-See-TV! The AWA is ending 87 with a bang!

Mid-South wrestlers are good to go right away. Enjoy. Looking forward to your first show.

Great main event. Does Medusa's injury open the door for Velvet or Moretti to get in the ring next with Richter? Maybe the injury isn't to serious and she will be back quick. I like when wrestling shows end with a lot of questions. It is like a soap opera for men! I also liked all the even matches on this card that made it hard to know the winner before the bout. Kai vs Vachon, Singh vs Martin and Combs vs Simmes were all great matches that the fans would have been watching intently. Great show!

I enjoyed this format. We all seem to have our own individual way of moving our angles along. Some do long match descriptions. Some do mostly promos. Some do a combo with weekly TV shows. You are using your house shows to get that done. We see the hierarchy of your tag division. We see who your monsters heels are and we also get the push toward the next big card all in a nice simple format. I have a feeling that Garvin might be in for a long day against Bam Bam. Bigelow seems to be one of the stars for the WC going forward.

One of my favorite weeks in the NWA yet! I am a little disappointed that the Buffalo Soldiers won't get a chance to develop in the NWA Great promo between Flair and Landel.... this match at Chaos has huge ramifications. Landel also showed how easy it might be to take that title in the main event where he used the brass knucks!! Big debut from SSM... He will be a force! Really excited for Bruiser Brody-Stan Hansen part 2

Enjoying these little teases. Looking forward to OCW in 88

Mid-South adds Scott Armstrong and the Italian Stallion

I would like to welcome JP to our game. He will be taking over the Florida Championship Wrestling. His roster is set and free agency is now open. Good luck and have fun JP. Any questions you have, please ask.

Great preview to SuperClash! I loved Keirn under the mask! This match with Idol will be awesome! Also think the creativity with the Million Dollar Match has been so well done! Great booking El Canek rushing in reminds me of how Colon was when he was a babyface for you the first time. He always seemed to go right after the big heels. Now El Canek and the lead pipe after Gamma ... Awesome. As is all the work you have put into Colon vs Abudda. Lawler vs BBB... very interested to see which way you go. Is it Lawler a la Memphis or Lawler a la AWA meaning does Lawler keep getting the title back or is he going to be a huge star in a huge feud that doesn't need a title to support it. You have done both so well and just can't wait to see which one is next. Have a bad feeling for Dream Machine! Looking forward to finding out all the answers at Superclash!

Free agency is closed as we set up a new roster

FALL-OUT FROM WRESTLECADE 1. Enough is Enough The feud between Ernie Ladd and Bill Watts is out of control. In the past week, both men have physically attacked the other. Blood has been drawn. It seems Ernie Ladd actually paid a gang, the Cartel, to take Watts out. Security guards have been called in twice. The police are investigating. While this seems to be good for the wrestling fans in Louisiana, it is actually hurting the national audience of WTBS. It seems that fans have chosen sides. Those who like Cowboy Bill Watts tune into UWF Wrestling but not Mid-South Wrestling while those who side with Ernie Ladd do just the opposite. What is the solution? 2. The Solution- The Battle of the Bayou It seems like Ted Turner is feed up with Bill Watts and Ernie Ladd and called each to his offices in Atlanta this week for a little heart to heart. Ted Turner informed both promoters that Superstation 17 would only be carrying one of their territories beginning in 1988. This upset both Ladd and Watts as they know that a national cable station is the cash cow. Turner informed them that he has been in contact with other promotions and that if they turned down his offer, he would go elsewhere to provide their viewers with weekly wrestling shows on WTBS. Before they even heard his stipulations, Watts and Ladd agreed to whatever idea he had. Ted Turner’s offer was simple… an inter-promotional show, The Battle of the Bayou, to air on December 17rd on WTBS. Whichever promotion wins the main event, gets the TV contract while the losing promotion agrees not to promote wrestling in Louisiana or Texas ever again without the other’s consent. Both men, took a deep breath and realized they had no other option and agreed. 3. Battle of the Bayou Jake “The Snake Roberts” with Paul Ellering vs Mike Rotundo with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie 6 MAN TAG TEAM TORNADO ELIMINATION MATCH Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy & Tom Prichard vs Eddie Gilbert, Rick Steiner & Brian Adams with Missy Hyatt TV TITLE MATCH Hacksaw Jim Duggan © vs Tully Blanchard LOUISIANA TITLE MATCH Junkyard Dog © vs Vader with Woman NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs Ron Garvin UNIFICATION TITLE MATCH UWF TAG CHAMPS VS MID-SOUTH TAG CHAMPS Scott Steiner & Hercules Hernandez vs Mighty Goliath & Nord “The Barbarian” UNIFICATION TITLE MATCH UWF CHAMP VS MID-SOUTH CHAMP Lex Luger with Woman vs Dr. Death Steve Williams MAIN EVENT Lumberjack Match (For the WTBS TV Contract & control of Louisiana Wrestling) “Cowboy” Bill Watts vs “The Big Cat” Ernie Ladd 4. The fate of the Cartel is sealed…. The Cartel has been arrested. While they are claiming that Ernie Ladd paid them to attack Bill Watts, there is no evidence of this. Ted Turner added a stipulation to his offer. In order for the UWF and Mid-South Revolution to participate in The Battle of the Bayou to have a chance at the WTBS TV contract, both Watts and Ladd must agree to end their relationship with El Jefe, Taz, Koonan, and TNT. Both promoters quickly signed off on this stipulation and, if the Cartel is able to survive their legal issues, they will be looking elsewhere for employment.

Trying to get a little ahead of all the upcoming transactions... Mid South sends Taz, Savio Vega, Moondog Rex, Koonan, Jose Estrada, Muta and Warrior to Windy City for future consideration

Mid-South adds Pez Whatley

Great event with some very good booking. With all the extra stipulations, each match took on extra meaning. I think you are doing an awesome job of building DeBeers and again, he comes out and makes a statement. Boyd and DeBeers make a great pair. I was very interesting in what you were going to do with Hansen and Brody. I like this outcome as we have a chance to see more of it. Flair is the Real Nature Boy! Smart move

Good point. I will make that clear on the roster page.

As we head into a new year, (1988 in our world) it is a great time to join Dawn of War. With over 150 free agents and lots of great territories open, their is plenty of opportunity to make a great promotion in this wild and crazy hobby. If you think you can find 30 interesting wrestlers that you would be interested in writing for, let me know. You can find all of our rules for Dawn of War in the Dark Web section of our game.

Mid-South adds Bob Armstrong, Wendell Cooley, Boris Zhukov and Soldat Ustinov and releases Italian Stallion

Mid-South adds Cannonball Grizzly and releases Ken Timbs

Mid-South drops Lou Perez, Bobby Blaze and Ray Stevens

Okay, Mid-South well drop Baron VonRaschke and add Bret Sawyer

Having trouble with messenger so I thought I would be this here... 1. Please check your rosters for anyone set to retire at the end of the year and our rules for how to use retired wrestlers in the Dark Wed section of our game. 2. I will be moving any wrestlers who retire to the retired section of the free agency list by the end of the year. Anyone you wish to keep in some sort of role needs to be identified to me and I will place them in the proper spot. Again, check the rules in the Dark Web section. 3. Any retired wrestler you are finished with now, please let me know so I can get a jump of all of the transactions that I am sure are coming during this busy period. 4. You may also notice some wrestlers in blue on your roster. Most are from the rookie draft while some may be from trades with Rain as he is done with his territory for the rest of 1987. Please wait until Jan 1 to use them. 5. All rosters should be at the cap by Jan 1. 6. Rain has also sent Akira Maeda, Angel of Death, Bret Sawyer and Teijo Khan to free agency. These can be picked up as of now and can be used.

Wendy Richter better be careful when she says she knows Lisa Moretti can't beat her!

Very interesting card with some great matches. Reed vs Steamboat and Race vs Bigelow are huge. Reed vs Steamboat would have been two of the biggest names in the business. Race letting Bigelow go over might signal a bit of the changing of the guard in Windy City. I will admit that Scott Casey going over Kamala surprised me a bit. I never thought the Cowboy character would work perfectly in Chicago. I saw Casey a few times in World Class and thought he did a great job of fighting the good fight but he was always in the shadows of the VonErichs. I could see him as a great fighter who never gives up and the Chicago crowd could give him some serious love after a big win like this. Was also shocked at Poffo putting a beating on Savage. I am sure this will be evened out during 88 and will be an awesome family feud that I can't wait to see more off. Awesome Thanksgiving card. I think surprise outcomes are what make wrestling so interesting. Great job with this card.

Another great week for the AWA. You have truly captured the complete heel-ness of Greg Gagne and Larry Z. I think I tried my best to ignore them back in the day but you have made that impossible. While this is a bit of a crazy hobby, you have me actually rooting for certain wrestlers... especially Al Perez and Crusher Blackwell. I think with your writing and my memories of the arrogant Chris Adams, he might soon be added to the list above of my most hated in the game. At least he has Baby Doll! WOW... the Road Warriors vs The Bruise Bruisers... WOW!! My match of the year! Superclash is shaping up to be the card of the year!!
