WWF would need to drop someone to add Ludvig

That is my fault. I never moved them into their proper places after the draft. I have moved them now. This does put WWF 1 over the cap so if he would like to move Halme or release somebody else, it is up to him. Could everyone please check your roster and the draft thread to make sure I didn't miss any others. Sorry for the problems.

Great show! Loved all the promos in the beginning to get things started. Was surprised at many of the results tonight which for me, is always a good thing. I love the chaos! Benoit being the one to get the win really helps build him up. Zeus becomes a huge deal with the beating he gave the Warrior! Same goes for Nailz! Really great job at setting things up for Wrestlemania

SAM HOUSTON COLISEUM: FEBRUARY 28, 1990 (UWF) Sam Houston defeated Dr. X with the running bulldog Rip Rogers defeats El Santo Negro with the Ripper Plex … Rogers brought his “search for a valet to Texas and calling all the Texas wives ugly and stupid didn’t go over to well with the crowd. The Grappler defeated Big Boogie Woogie Brown with an impressive powerslam Rick Steiner & Scott Steiner defeated The Pitbulls with Skandar Akbar when Scott Steiner hit a devastating suplex on Pitbull #1 Doom (Hacksaw Butch Reed & Ron Simmons) with Teddy Long defeated Greg “The Hammer Valentine & Honky Tonk Man with Jimmy Hart to win the UWF Tag Team Titles. Kerry VonErich defeated Curt Hennig by DQ as Devastation Inc (The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel & The Pitbulls) rushed the ring and attacked VonErich. Most likely this is in response to Landel not getting a UWF Title shot against VonErich. The Stieners and Brian Adias rushed out to make the save. Adias had shown up earlier in the night asking Kerry for forgiveness for all the wrongs he’s done over the past few years. Kerry didn’t seem to trust him but the evening ended with the two shaking hands. As has been Hennig’s ritual, he simply walked off with his belt and didn’t get involved in the chaos. MIDSOUTH COLISEUM: MARCH 3, 1990 (CWA) ** Note: All wrestlers who wrestled tonight won matches on the 90 minute weekly TV show from this past Saturday except Ron Fuller who didn't wrestle. Opening Bout Jeff Gaylord defeats The Assassin with a big slam after wearing down the Assassin with a bearhug. Message from USWA World Champion, “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig Lance Russell asks all the fans in the Midsouth Coliseum to turn their attention to the big scoreboard above the ring as the USWA World Champion, “Mr. Perfect” would like to make a quick announcement. Curt Hennig: Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another “imperfect” night of matches in the Midsouth Coliseum. Why imperfect you ask? Well that is simple. I, Curt Hennig, Mr. Perfect, the greatest wrestler in the world, is once again, not there to display my greatness. And why am I not there? Again, another simple answer. Your #1 contender for my world title, the so-called King, Jerry Lawler, does not deserve another match against me as I have already beaten him 3 times in the last 3 months. Lawler… Memphis Wrestling Fans… you don’t deserve another view of Mr. Perfect! As boos reign down, we get set for our next match. Match #2: “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff defeats “The Fab” One” Steve Keirn Paul Orndorff interrupted Steve Keirn’s interview on this past week’s TV show as he wondered what made a washed-up tag team wrestler, the self-proclaimed Fab One. Orndorff continued to point out that Keirn has done nothing since his return to the CWA and that he is just trying to catch a ride on the curtails of Jerry Lawler. Orndorff then began to strut around and show off his body and point out to Keirn that this in what a wrestler should look like. Steve Keirn takes over and says that he remembers when Orndorff was first hear in Memphis and how he had respect… respect for the sport … respect for the other wrestlers … and respect for the fans… but now, Orndorff, all you are is an arrogant piece of trash. This got Orndorff hot and the two go chest to chest but cooler heads prevailed when Eddie Marlin came out and announced that these two would face off tonight. As for the match, Orndorff is pretty stiff and doesn’t sell one bit for Keirn but Keirn, being the professional that he is, helps Mr. Wonderful get over as the match ends with Orndorff hitting the piledrive for the win. Match #3: The Southern Boys vs Tarzan Goto & Kabuki with Tojo Yamamota This match was signed because Tojo was fuming last week about how the Southern Boys got an elimination match into the upcoming USWA Tag Team Title Tournament and his team of Goto and Kabuki were passed over because of the “prejudice” against Japan. Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong took offense to this and came right out and into the ring and challenged them to a match on TV. Tojo said that he would rather embarrass the Southern Brats in the Midsouth Coliseum so here we are. Compared to the last match with Orndorff and Keirn, this has each wrestler putting on a good show. Goto is somewhat limited in his arsenal,but his power moves get some big oohhhs and ahhs from the crowd. After everyone gets some shine, it looks like the Southern Boys are about to get a win as Smothers hoists up Kabuki and Armstrong climbs the rope as he is setting up for a top rope drop kick. WHAM…Tojo with the Kendo stick to Smother’s back… Tojo over and over with the Kendo stick as Goto rushed in and shoves Armstrong off the top rope! The beating is on…. The fans erupt as Brad Armstrong rushes in from the back! WHAM… Green Mist in the eyes of Brad Armstrong by Kabuki! The beating now continues for a few minutes before Tojo and his “evils” head to the back, dodging debris as they go. One thing Lance Russell noticed was that Tarzan Goto had the same smile on his face heading to the locker room as he did when he was getting hit with the kendo stick a few weeks ago after losing to Dustin Rhodes and Jeff Jarrett. Match #4: Brad Armstrong vs “The Tennessee Studd” Robert Fuller Last week Brad took offense to the Tennessee Studd thinking he was too good to wrestle for free on TV and the Studd said he would love to wrestle and beat another Armstrong as long as he “got paid” to do it. Fuller is already in the ring when Eddie Marlin comes out and says that as a result of the attack by Tojo and his men, Brad Armstrong is not able to wrestle tonight. Fuller claims that while Brad Armstrong would not have been much of a challenge for him, this is even better as he is getting paid to do nothing. Marlin tells him to hold on as he has a replacement for Brad Armstrong…. Fuller says that he is only going to wrestle Brad Armstrong as that was who he was contracted to wrestle. Marlin says that is fine but then if he doesn’t wrestle tonight, then doesn’t get paid. Fuller quickly changes his mind and Eddie Marlin announced Fuller’s opponent as “The Bullet” Bob Armstrong! The crowd goes nuts as the patriarch of the Armstrongs is here and the Fuller-Armstrong feud is on once again!!! The Bullet comes running out and the brawl is on!! As for the ending… Double Countout! *** This is just and one and off for Bob Armstrong… for now! CWA Tag Team Title Match: Spot in the USWA Tag Team Title Tournament On the Line! The Freebirds (Hayes & Garvin) vs Greg “The Hammer” Valentine & Honky Tonk Man with Jimmy Hart On this past week’s TV show, Lance Russell enjoyed showing the video of Doom (Hacksaw Butch Reed & Ron Simmons) defeating Valentine & HTM for the UWF Tag Team Titles in the Sam Houston Coliseum as Jimmy Hart tried to hit Ron Simmons with the megaphone except that he accidently hit HTM. This caused HTM to stagger backwards right into a huge shoulder block by Reed for the win and the title change. Jimmy Hart and his tag team rushed out to the podium and were fuming at both Lance Russell for showing the video and for the corrupt Teddy Long, the manager of Doom. Jimmy Hart: How dare you Lance! How dare you Lance Russell… you go and show that doctored up video that the UWF set you. That’s not what happened at all. Teddy Long… the cheating Teddy Long came up from behind me and took my megaphone and clobbered Honk Tonk right in the temple. I mean I’ve never seen such actions in all my life! Lance Russell: C’mon now Jimmy. Nobody’s buying that load of malarky but I do have some news for you. Jimmy Hart: News from you… this is about as trustworthy as a weather report 6 months in advance. Lance Russell: Your real funny but my information comes straight from Eddie Marlin and I quote, “As a result of no longer holding the UWF tag team titles, Greg Valentine and Honky Tonk Man will no longer be granted an automatic exemption into the USWA Tag Team Title Tournament as this exemption is only granted to current USWA tag teams that hold a current championship! As Jimmy Hart was throwing a hissy fit, the Freebirds came out laughing at the fate of the First Family! After, a great promo by both Garvin and Hayes, Jimmy Hart fires back and gets under the skin of the Freebirds as only he can do. The result… Jimmy Hart may have just tricked the Freebirds into a title match this week at the Midsouth Coliseum … or maybe the Freebirds are as cocky as they come off and want to really make this an awful week for Hart as his stable! As for the match, we get the same ending as in the Sam Houston Coliseum… Jimmy Hart once again “accidentally” slammed HTM’s head with his microphone and HTM staggered back into a brainbuster by Jimmy Garvin! Lance Rusell: Well isn’t that karma! Semi-Main Event: Tri-State Title Match: Falls Count Anywherw: Dirty Dutch Mantel © vs Superstar Bill Dundee After the brawl all over the arena, we get a rather simple finish! Dutch has Dundee down and in trouble. He comes off the ropes for two big elbow drops which has Dundee in trouble. Dutch, feels victory is at hand, and lets the fans know!! From behind… Bill Dundee with the roll up and like many fan favorites in Memphis, he is not against bending a rule or two himself so he grabs the trunks and gets the three count! Bill Dundee is the new Tri-State champion. Main Event: Jerry “The King” Lawler & Jeff Jarrett vs “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert & Randy “Macho Man Savage So how did Eddie Gilbert and Randy Savage get together for this match? Simple… their hatred for Jerry Lawler! Interesting part here was the entrance of the heels… between Missy Hyatt, Jimmy Hart and Miss. Elizabeth, it seemed like the entourage that would accompany a heavyweight title match at a boxing event! One thing that did seem out of place was Miss. Elizabeth… Her class is apparent while the lack of class of the rest of her team is clearly on display! As for the match, this was awesome! Lawler and Gilbert are really good at the wrestling side of the match. Savage brings the athleticism and charisma while bringing down the heat on himself. JJ, still young but has the confidence to be here! The match sees a little bit of everything … some wrestling, some fighting, and a whole lot of rule breaking. In the end, we get ref Jerry Calhoun “accidently” pushed from the ring where it appears that he has hit his head. This allows Jimmy Hart to get a little revenge on everyone as he slams Lawler with the microphone. Lawler is busted wide open but is still ready to fight. He goes out after Hart as Eddie Gilbert follows him. Wham… Missy with the loaded purse shot on JJ and down he goes…. Wham… Randy Savage with the top rope elbow drop on JJ Savage covers JJ but there is no ref to make the count! Suddenly, it is Dick Slater rushing down the aisle… Jimmy Hart is jumping for joy! Slater gets in the ring… looks at Lawler …. Looks at Jimmy Hart…. Looks at Savage covering JJ Slater goes to the ground and… starts counting like he is the ref 1…2…3! Slater simply gets up and starts to exit the ring … Jimmy Hart is screaming at him to get Lawler! Slater just keeps on going! Lawler slams Gilbert’s head into the ring post and gets back in the ring! The night ends with JJ down and out. Gilbert down and out. Lawler and Savage brawling in the ring where nobody will give an inch and Slater simply walking out on everyone!

So many great feuds going on here. Tito and the Northern Invasion Nailz-Bossman Dusty-Funk Manny-Hacksaw The tag team chaos Can't wait for Mania

Great run for the AWA... I have said this before but I will say it again, you are the only one that can make Greg Gagne interesting. Him brining in KKB to attack El Canek was instant heat!!! Title night without a title change helps build your champions up. While I was 99.9% sure Hogan was coming out on top, I found myself rooting for Hogan for like the first time in my life. That's all because of how well you have developed Debeers. Really enjoying the growth of Cactus Jack and the feud with Sawyer is perfect for that. Also, the Hangman is my new favorite heel in Dawn of War.

This is the best 1/2 hour in wrestling. Great pics to add some interest... I wonder who that cute fan was. The Mortons will be a tough out in the USWA tournament!

MIDSOUTH COLISEUM: FEB.24, 1990 ** Note: All wrestlers who wrestled tonight won matches on the 90 minute weekly TV show from this past Saturday except Ron Fuller who didn't wrestle. Opening Bout Jeff Gaylord defeats Dr. X (Moondog Rex in a mask) with a bearhug. Gaylord has not been seen in the Memphis area for about a year but the fans liked his size, energy and ability to go toe to toe with the big Dr. X. Interview with USWA World Champion, “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig Lance Russell: Curt, I would like to bring you back to a few weeks ago when you were wrestling “The King,” Jerry Lawler but that match was again ended with Randy Savage interfering and attacking Jerry Lawler. Curt Hennig: All I know is that I am “Mr. Perfect. I have wrestled your so called King 3 times in the last two months and each time I have left the match as the USWA World Champion…. Three matches and each time I was perfect! Even when Lawler was allowed to cheat and punch me as many times as he wanted… I left with this perfect title around my waist. Lance Russell: Well that may be true, but you can look at it this way… you have wrestled Jerry Lawler 3 times in the last two months and you have never beat him. Curt Hennig: This title around my waist says differently and I will tell you this… I am done wrestling Jerry Lawler. I have proven he can’t beat me. I am tired of running up here to Memphis to wrestle the same inferior wrestler. Next time I am here, tell Jerry Jarrett to find my some real competition. And with that Hennig walks off with his title over his shoulder. Match #2: Winning Team Gets Entry Into the USWA World Tag Team Tournament The Wild-eyed Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) defeat the Guerreros when Tracy held Hector up and Armstrong came off the top rope with a dropkick! The fans are quickly buying into this exciting team who come to the ring interacting with all the fans while wearing their Confederate uniforms and waving the Confederate flag! Match #3: “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff defeats Tim Horner with the Piledriver Paul Orndorff made his CWA debut this week on tv and quickly brought the heat down on himself. Not only was he his arrogant self, he proclaimed that his finisher, the piledriver, was second to none and that while others use the devastating move, including Jerry Lawler, it is not nearly effected as his. He also was quick to show off his physique, which he proclaimed at just one of the reasons he is Mr. Wonderful. As for the match, Horner gave a good effort, but he was outclassed. After a quick start for Horner, Mr. Wonderful took total control and toyed with Horner until he connected with the piledriver for the clean victory. Interview with former CWA tag team champion, “The Tennessee Studd” Robert Fuller Lance Russell: Robert, we all saw the devastating injury that Sid Eudy suffered last week and how the Freebirds capitalized on that to take back the CWA Tag Team Titles. What is next for you as your partner is obviously out of action for the foreseeable future. Robert Fuller: Lance, I’ve been around this business for a long time and seen everything there is to see. Injuries happen. This is a man’s game and sometimes things happen. As for me, I’ve decided to go back into singles competition. When I walk around here and see young, inexperienced losers like Jeff Jarrett walking around with the CWA title, I know that I will have gold around my waist real soon. I also want to let everyone know that I am too good to show my talent for free. I am not going to be wrestling on TV…. I know that all you women who go ga-ga over seeing this 6’9 inches of sex appeal are going to be upset by that but truth be told… I don’t care. I don’t care about any of those stupid fans who wish they were the Studd!... No listen up Jerry Jarrett…. If you dare… get me a match in the Midsouth Coliseum against that snot-nosed kid of yours so this organization can have a champion that it deservers! Match #4: Winning Team Gets Entry Into the USWA World Tag Team Tournament The Undertaker & The Soultaker with Paul Bearer defeat Ice Cold (Iceman Parsons & Too Cold Scorpio) as the Undertaker connected with his top-rope-walk elbow drop/Tombstone combo on Too Cold. Iceman and the Soultaker were battling on the outside when Too Cold came off the tope rope with a Moonsault but Undertaker lifted his right hand and caught Scorpio by the throat and then sat up and took Scorpio apart. After the match was over, Undertaker and Soultaker double teamed Iceman and put him down. Soultaker then performed that eerie ritual on Scorpio where he seems to take the heart and soul from his fallen opponent. The fans are still unsure of what to make of Paul Bearer’s team but Lance is sure that no one has seemed to slow then down at all. CWA Tri-State Title Match: “Dirty” Dutch Mantel © vs “The Superstar” Bill Dundee These two had a war of words this week on TV where Dundee was upset at Dutch for not being able to fight a clean fight anymore. Dundee pointed out that every match that Dutch is in, he either uses an illegal object or has the Dirty White Boy interfere to save his title. Superstar then said that Dutch isn’t the same man he was when Superstar was last in Memphis. Dundee said that the Dutch Mantel used to be able to fight his own fight and that he would use his fists to do it instead of a bull whip. Dundee ended his verbal attack by calling Dirty Dutch “over the hill.” Dutch was fuming and told Dundee he should mind his own business and that it’s not like Jerry Lawler hadn’t saved his butt hundreds of times. This all lead to a TV brawl that needed a commercial break to restore order. So here we are, a Tri-State Title Match. These two might be short in stature but don’t measure their fight in inches… this was a brawl! Unfortunately for Dundee, this match ended in a Double Count-out. This didn’t seem to stop the brawl and Eddie Marling came out a grabbed the house microphone and threated to suspend both Dutch and Dundee. This got their attention and gave Marlin the chance to announce that this feud needs a stipulation to where we get a winner… So next week right here in the Midsouth Coliseum, we will see a rematch between Dutch and Dundee for the Tri-State Title but it will be in a Falls-Count Everywhere Match! Semi-Main Event: Randy “Macho Man” Savage with Miss. Elizabeth vs Dustin Rhodes It was a this week’s tv show that Savage introduced Ms. Elizabeth to the Memphis fans. Many of the bigger wrestling fans in the area, are familiar with her as was Lance Russell who wanted to know where she has been for the last month. Savage took offense to this and reminded Lance that until this week, he didn’t have a contract to wrestle in the CWA so why would his manager be here. Savage then seemed to turn even more angry and wondered in Lance was suggesting if Elizabeth was with another man. Lance said that was not what he was talking about but Savage was already off the rails! To protect Lance, Dustin Rhodes came out and said that Savage has been nothing more than a bully sense he got here and that he should put his money where his mouth stands and challenged his to this match tonight… As for the match… easily the beat match of the night. Both men were bumping and selling for each other and hitting big move after big move. In the end, Savage outlasted Rhodes with a little help from a collision with ref Jerry Calhoun, and Savage connected with the Top Rope Elbow Drop for the win! Main Event: Jerry “The King” Lawler vs Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart & Missy Hyatt Anyone who interferes will be suspended from the CWA for 1 year Last week in the Midsouth Coliseum, we saw Jimmy Hart toss an illegal object to Eddie Gilbert and Gilbert knocked Lawler out which cost him his match with Randy Savage and gave Savage a CWA Contract. Eddie Marlin fined both Jimmy Hart and Eddie Gilbert $1000 each for their interference in both the Savage-Lawler match and the Eddie Gilbert-Too Cold Scorpio match. While the fans liked the large fines, Jerry Lawler said that wasn’t enough as Gilbert and Hart’s interference allowed Randy Savage into the CWA. Lawler basically reminded everyone of the criminal actions of Savage and because of Gilbert and Hart, Savage now has free reign to do what he wants in the CWA. Lawler demanded this match tonight against Gilbert and demanded the stipulation of the year suspension to anyone who interferes. As the match is about to get started, two interesting things happen… first Lance Rusell notices that “The Bounty Hunter” Dick Slater is sitting in the first row. Last week, we found out that Slater was hired by someone to take Lawler out of wrestling but Slater needed to be sure what was told to him was the truth. Next, Lance, is joined by Curt Hennig at the announce area and says that he is just here to “watch” Lawler get what’s coming to him. Lance points out that this could be trouble for The King as Slater, the bounty hunter, doesn’t work for the CWA and technically, neither does Hennig, the USWA World Champion. As for the match, it is back and forth with a bunch of momentum changes. Every time Lawler has the advantage, we see Jimmy Hart and Missy Hyatt just trying to come up with a way to help Hot Stuff without being suspended. Eventually we see Missy try to distract ref Jerry Calhoun with her “assets.” This doesn’t work but Calhoun does take time to admonish Missy and tells her to get off the apron. WHAM… Low blow by Gilbert on Lawler. Wait a minute… Slater is coming towards the ring! Eddie goes to cover Lawler! Slater grabs…. Missy Hyatt… and lifts her off the apron…. Jerry Calhoun turns towards the action and sees the cover. He rushes over to start the count. Missy Hyatt screams when Slater lifts her up! Hotstuff sees Missy in the arms of Slater and gets off Lawler and heads towards the rope Here comes Curt Hennig Slater puts down Missy and starts to point as Jimmy Hart… Hart nervous… starts to run around the ring! WHAM… Jimmy Hart and Curt Hennig collide…Hart goes flying and Hennig goes to check on him. WHAM… Uppercut by Lawler on Gilbert…. WHAM… piledriver by Lawler 1…2…3! Lawler has defeated Gilbert What is going on with Slater? What was Hennig’s plan? I guess we have to wait until next week!

Sorry for falling so far behind here. Really enjoyed reading about the Clash. You do an awesome job of putting everyone in the correct pecking order and then having the guys you want, continue to move up the ranks. The Sting angle with Nikita coming out of the stands and helping the Horsemen to destroy him was great but got even better as we wondered what would happen to the main event with Sting and Luger to face the Horsemen. Flying Brian was a great replacement as it allows us to see Pillman as a main event guy but in reality, it allowed everyone else to stay super strong and Pillman to take the fall. Pillman also is not weakened as he is now looked upon as being on the top level. Great job! Also, awesome job with the tournament. I like how you look at each match objectively. You told us that Rich and the Berzerker wasn't very good because of the limitations of the Berzerker but then you said how great Tommy Rich was in his loss to Nikita. Again, Nikita wins the tournament but because of AA, Pillman remains on the upward trajectory. Really good. I need help with this aspect of the game.

WWF is rolling! Like how hyped up Monsonn and Heenan were about Vader. He could be anything you want him to be! Really liked the quality of the TV matches you gave with Rougeaus vs Dynamite Kid and Benoit and Brown vs Valiant. I remember not really liking the WWF because at best we got was SD Jones losing to some bigger star. King Haku over Snuka was another great match. It seems Snuka has fallen from the top as Haku made him look weak by not releasing the Death Grip. That's ok, Andre sure looked strong. Pick Your Poison Challenge... Love it Dusty with the roll up. I bet these two brawlers were a bit relived at the finish. Nice job. Looking forward to Wrestlemania and Toronto

Great week of Bluegrass Championship Wrestling... The back and forth between Bert, Ronnie and Tasha was great especially with the Valentines gifts added to the angle. Too bad Lock had to come and take the candy. Awesome segment with Richard Lee, Zebra Kid, Chris Michaels and Hickerson. What a great way to sell tickets for the rematch! A small promotion like this needs to big guys who just want to brawl. Gypsy Joe and Cuban Assassin fit this perfectly. And the Kentucky Cup goes to the Mortons.... I think Pretty N Pink was a bit surprised to see the Mortons run the gauntlet. You really do have a knack for these small time territories... great job.

I know I am biased but I find myself rooting for the Americans as I read this as some of the names are unfamiliar to me. That being said, I really could see Backlund and the Crossface Chicken Wing thriving in this style. I am interested to see what comes of his wish for the title. I liked how you explained that the Maeda/Fujinami bout was the real main event while the title bout played second fiddle. Would the UWF always put the title match last even if it wasn't the real main event? This could serve to bring value to the belt but also could anger certain wrestlers who knew they were the reason for the packed house.

I really enjoyed catching up on the AWA... sorry to be a bit behind. Great booking with the feud between Buzz Sawyer and Cactus Jack. These two wild men might be at opposite ends of the careers but they are perfect together. Buzz and all of his power moves allows the crazy Cactus Jack to develop his career as he seems to smile bigger each time he gets slammed! Bang Bang! I think Latin Desire is a great example of what could have been. I often wonder why certain people get a shot and others don't. I understand it is a combo of mic skills, look and talent but Al and Lou had a great look and I know Al was pretty good on the mic. Anyway, love how you have taken these brothers and made them a big part of your tag division. Hogan-Debeers along with Soul Patrol and The Commission is awesome. Debeers brings HEAT like no other. When he called the Soul Patrol untouchables, I could just feel the anger in the fans. While Debeers may never win the title, this is like printing money! Good job! The tag team tournament for the #1 contenders to the title is another great way to add some hype to midcard matches. Really liked the fake chair shot idea that Jive Tones used against the Mavericks even though the Mavericks got revenge in a less important match. Lets see what the Destruction Crew can do against the RnR Express. Like the gimmick and character development of Jimmy Golden and the Hangman. The wild, piledriver connecting, old-timer that doesn't give a crap is perfect. Larry Nelson running in fear of his life as the noose goes around his neck adds to the fear that goes along with the Hangman just like when Brutus was hanged. Like how Brutus could care less about winning in the bout at that Allen County Coliseum and just wanted revenge. Will be interesting to see who actually goes over who here as both are all gimmick and don't need titles to push their character. Really looking forward to Winnipeg and Title Night Speaking of characters.... Superstar with Muracco is perfect. These two are capable of anything.

MIDSOUTH COLISEUM: FEB.17, 1990 Opening Bout Wild-eyed Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) have a successful debut with a win over Ron& Don Harris when they connected on a big double team move as Tracy held big Ron Harris up by his hips and Scott came flying of the top rope for a huge dropkick. The Southern Boys had the crowd eating out of their hands as they came out to Wild-eyed Southern Boys by 38 Special dressed in Confederate soldier uniforms and waving a Confederate flag. When asked by Lance Russell why they chose to come to the CWA, they said the answer was two-fold. First, Scott wanted to come and help out his brother who was dealing with the likes of the Dirty White Boy and Dutch Mantel. Next, Tracy quickly said that he heard there was going to be a tournament sometime next month to crown the first ever USWA World Champion and who better that the Southern Boys to be the champions down here in the Land of Dixie! Interview with Dick Slater Lance Russell: Dick Slater, your status in this sport cannot be denied. Even though you have not spent a lot of time here in Memphis, I would be hard pressed to find a wrestling fan that doesn’t know the great Dick Slater. Some call you the rebel. Some call you Mr. Excitement. Some just simply call you “Dirty.” Fans, I want to let you know that it was Mr. Slater who asked for this time here in the Midsouth Coliseum as he says he has something real important to tell us. Dick Slater: Lance, you left out one thing. Some people call me the ultimate bounty hunter and that is why I am here right now. I got a call from someone who will remain nameless, but they said they are willing to pay me $50,000 to put Jerry “The King” Lawler out of wrestling. This person gave me a whole laundry list of reasons as to why Lawler needs to be hurt and hurt badly. I will say this… I am a whole lot of things, but I am not someone who goes around hurting people that don’t deserve it. So, I guess what I am saying is that right now, I am here to do a little investigating. If what I am being told is true, I will have no problem taking out Lawler but if the claims prove to be unfounded, I will be coming after the person who hired me. Lance Russell: Dick… this is very disturbing news. Can you at least give us a clue as to who is paying you. I mean right now The King seems to have a long list of people who would be willing to hurt him…. Randy Savage…. Jimmy Hart and the First Family …. Curt Hennig? Dick Slater: No comment. And Dick Slater simply walks off. Match #2 Iceman Parsons defeats Hector Guerrero with the Butt Bump in a fast-paced match that had the fans out of their seats. Match #3 Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart & Missy Hyatt defeats Too Cold Scorpio when Missy Hyatt distracted Jerry Calhoun in a way that only Missy could which allowed Jimmy Hart to toss an illegal object to Hot Stuff who clobbered Too Cold. Gilbert quickly covered Scorpio and a surprised Calhoun rushed over to complete the 3-count. Iceman Parsons rushed in to plea to Jerry Calhoun that Gilbert had cheated but by then Gilbert had already given the object to Missy Hyatt who stuffed in a place that Calhoun wouldn’t dare search but every guy wished they had the chance to. The First Family leaves as Iceman tends to Too Cold Scorpio. Grudge Match Brad Armstrong vs Dutch Mantel The problems between Armstrong and Dutch has been going on for a while and the dislike these two have for each other was evident from the start as Dutch tried to attack before the bell but Brad was ready for it. Brad actually had Dutch twisted in knots from a great ground attack but Dutch eventually brough this match to the gutter and the brawl was on. The fans were loving it as Brad seemed to have the upper hand … that is until the Dirty White Boy hit the ring. It is obvious that wins and looses mean nothing in this feud as Dutch was not the least bit upset at Calhoun calling for the bell. Dutch and the DWB just seemed to be enjoying this beat down… that is until the Wild-eyed Southern Boys hit the ring. Together Brad and Steve Armstrong along with Tracy Smothers really gave it to the DWB and Dutch who actually high-tailed it back to the locker room. Kendo Stick on a Pole Match- Losers get 10 Whacks Each With the Kendo Stick Jeff Jarrett & Dustin Rhodes defeated Kabuki and Tarzan Goto with Tojo Yamamota when Kabuki tried to spray the green mist into the eyes of Dustin Rhodes, but he pulled away from Tarzan just in time and Tarzan got the mist right in the eyes. This allowed Dustin to nail Tarzan with the Bulldog for the 3-count as JJ dropkicked Kabuki out onto the floor. Give Tojo’s monsters some credit as they took their whacks like men. It almost seemed like Tarzan was enjoying it. Main Event: Southern Tag Team Title Match in a Steel Cage Last Match Between the Freebirds and the Studd Stable: The Freebirds (Hayes &Garvin) have been feuding with The Studd Stable (Robert Fuller & Sid Eudy) for nearly 6 months now. We have seen many different types of matches as these two teams have traded the Southern Tag Team Titles back and forth. We have even seen this feud divide families as Jimmy Golden sided with the Freebirds for a time and Buddy Roberts helped the Studd Stable. Eddie Marlin, concerned for the well-being of all involved, decided this would be the Last Match between these two teams in Memphis. Fuller and Eudy seemed eager to shut the Freebirds up for the last time and successfully defend their Southern Tag Titles while the Freebirds vowed that they would be partying with their new belts down on Beile Street long after the legal closing time! As for the match, Eudy showed that he was a beast as he battered each Freebird against the cage on numerous occasions. The problem came about 25 minutes into the bout as Sid came off the top rope and seemed to legitimately land wrong. He struggled to put any weight on his right leg as Lance feared it might be broken. This allowed the Freebirds to double team Fuller for the rest of the match. The end finally came as Hayes and Garvin hoisted Fuller up for a Double Brainbuster. Ref Jerry Calhoun made the 3-count and handed the Freebirds the titles but then all attention turned to Sid. Even the Freebirds seemed to look on with concern. After being examined by the doctor, Sid was stretchered out and you could just tell be the look on Fuller’s face, that the Studd Stable was in need of a new stud. The crowd didn’t seem too upset as the cheered wildly for their new Southern Tag Team Champions. “Lights Out-Non-Sanctioned Match “King” Jerry Lawler vs Randy “Macho Man” Savage: If Savage wins, he gets a CWA contract Let’s take a look at how we got here. During the break between matches, we see a video on the screen that shows all the problems between Lawler and Savage dating back to before Christmas. We see Savage storming the TV set in search of Lawler as he is fuming that Bluegrass Championship Wrestling was admitted to the USWA. By coincidence, Lawler wasn’t in the building that day. Savage proceeded to interfere with Lawler’s championship match against “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig by coming off the top rope with an elbow as Lawler seemed ready to win the title. Next, we get footage of an injured Lawler as Savage apparently hit him with a car. Finally, we get footage from the last big event in the Midsouth Coliseum as Savage once again prevented Lawler from winning the title as he interfered once again resulting in Savage and Lawler brawling in the ring and Savage eventually being lead out of the Coliseum in handcuffs while Curt Hennig simply walked out with his title in tack. Hennig also walked out with an extra $6000 of Lawler’s money as per the stipulation that the King had to pay Mr. Perfect $500 per punch he threw. That is a hefty price tag for not winning the title. The video then went to last week’s TV show where we see Lawler and Jerry Jarrett. Everybody knew that Jarrett’s presence meant business as he usually sends out Eddie Marlin to deal with the day-to-day drama of the CWA. Lance Russell: Okay folks, before we get to today’s show, Jerry Lawler has asked for some time to speak and he also requested Jerry Jarrett’s presence. Jerry Lawler: Thank you Jerry for coming out here. Jerry, we all know that there is one goal in this business and that is to win the World Title. I believe that on three occasions over the past 2 ½ months, I have clearly outwrestled Curt Henning… and I have nothing to show for it. The first time was a fluke…. A coin toss but the other two… clearly Randy Savage has cost me the world title… and more… He cost me my health as he ran me over with a car. Yes… he ran me over with a car. Whatever is going on in that sick mind of his, whatever problem he has with me, is not going to get solved until I face him in the ring. Now, I understand he is not an employee of the USWA or the CWA and he has no right getting into a real wrestling match in this territory but for everything I’ve done for this company, I’m asking a favor… I need this to stop…. I need the chance to get even… I need to stop Randy Savage so I can get back on track to take what is rightfully mine… The USWA World Title! Jerry Jarrett: Jerry, I know your upset. Upset at everything that has gone on in the last three months. I also know that you have done more for Memphis Wrestling than any man alive but… I can’t reward someone with a CWA Wrestling contract who has done nothing but criminal actions to the CWA for the past few months. He has trespassed. He has committed assault. He has tried to ruin the integrity of the USWA World Title and he has actually run a member of our promotion over with a car! I’m sorry King, I can’t do that. Suddenly, Randy Savage comes out with Lance and Jerry Jarrett begging for peace. This time it is Savage who seems the peacefully one as Lawler is being restrained by Jarrett. Randy Savage: Oh yea…. Lawler and the Macho Man… Lights Out… Non-Sanctioned Match. I finally get to put the King down once and for all. OH YEA…. Sounds like a win-win for everybody… but the Macho Man. You people have once again found a way to use the Macho Man. First it was you keeping the great Angelo Poffo out of the CWA and now, you are about to have the biggest crowd in Memphis history… OH YEA…. They will be hanging from the rafters to in hopes that the King will put an end to the Macho Man… the lines at the concession stand will be around the corner… the popcorn will be flowing… the beers will be guzzled…. And when its all said and down… the King will be laying in the center of the ring, beaten once again by the Macho Man Randy Savage… OH YEA, but when the camera closes in on Lawler, you will see the blood… you will see the bruises… but you will also see the King smiling the biggest smile since the teenaged girls here in Memphis say Elvis! Why you ask is a beaten man so happy. Let the Mach Man tell you why… Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett will be rolling in money as I am escorted out of the building… victorious yes but also not paid for the match and also unemployed. The Macho Man is no fool. You want the match Jerry Lawler, the Lights Out-Non-Sanctioned Match, I will accept with one stipulation… I win, I get a CWA contract! That’s right, I win the match, I am a wrestler here in Memphis but if you win… I will walk away! Lance Russell: So let me get this straight. You, Randy Savage will wrestle Jerry Lawler in the Midsouth Coliseum on February 24th in a Light Out Match if and only if, you win, you get a CWA Wrestling contract. Suddenly Jerry Lawler grabs the microphone and instead of yelling at Savage, he is yelling at Jerry Jarrett about how he better accept this deal or he is leaving Memphis to hunt down Randy Savage. Jerry Jarrett: Ok, while this is against my better judgement, I will accept these stipulations and Lawler you better win! Jarrett walks off as Lance takes us to break with a warning that he hopes the studio is in one piece when we return. Now, let’s get to the match… Brawl… Brawl…. Brawl! This is obviously personal and no matter what one does to the other, they both keep on coming. Suddenly, Dick Slater makes his way to ringside. He grabs a chair and takes a seat. Lance Russell helps to remind us what Slater said earlier in the evening. He is here in the CWA as a hitman looking to collect a bounty on the wrestling career of Jerry Lawler. From Lawler’s reaction, he also knows exactly why Slater is here. This causes Lawler to lose focus. Unfortunately, the problems for Lawler get only worse as Jimmy Hart is now leading out The First Family…Eddie Gilbert, Greg Valentine and Honky Tonk Man. The referee, who was announced as Bill Billingsly, could do nothing about it as this match was Non-Sanctioned and basically lawless. Jimmy Hart, clearly hands Eddie Gilbert the same illegal object that he used earlier in his match and Gilbert waits for the right time… WHAM… Gilbert nails the King! Eddie Gilbert motions to Savage to climb to the top rope and do his elbow drop! Savage almost seems to hesitate but then climbs to the top… Dick Slater is now out of his chair and up on the apron… as are Honky Tonk and Greg Valentine. WHAM… Savage with the big Elbow Drop on Lawler. Bill Billingsly with the count! 1…2…3! Jimmy Hart is jumping up and down as the first family is in the ring stomping on Lawler! Dick Slater climbs down off the apron and walks to the locker room shaking his head!. Savage seems confused but then a big smile comes over him as he has finally earned a contract to wrestle in Memphis- the company his father so badly wanted to become back in the late 70’s. Finally, the calvary comes to the ring as JJ, Dustin Rhodes, Brad Armstrong and the Wild-eyed Southern Boys chase away the First Family. Savage just stays in the ring and makes no motion to leave and no motion to attack. He just takes in the whole situation as the fans wonder what is next between The King and the Macho Man.

Memphis puts Sid Eudy on the block

Enjoying this format as you get a lot across in a very effective way. Great for a Saturday Prime. Enjoying Heenan as part of the announce team. While WWF was never my favorite as a kid, I enjoyed their announcers like Heenan and Jesse Ventura. SNME is shaping up nicely.

Really enjoyed catching up on Bluegrass Championship Wrestling. Your promotion is perfect for the territory. Lock and Humperdink are great as the scary heel combo. Falk and his students are also a great angle here. It really makes people think they can make it in the wrestling world. Michaels and The Zebra Kid gives Hickerson a chance to show his authority... throw in Richard Lee as lawyer/manager and the heat is on. Speaking of heat... Pretty in Pink in Kentucky... not a fan would dare cheer. Love it! Also Ronnie's "one sided affair" with Tasha is great. I do bet she increases viewership

Midsouth Coliseum Card: January 27, 1990 “The Fab One” Steve Keirn defeats Rip Rogers with a diving seton. The Undertaker with Paul Bearer defeats Cousin Junior with the top rope elbow smash, Tombstone Combo. The bout started with some good ol fashion country dancing as Cousin Junior made his way to the ring but the fans quickly became silent as the Dead Man came walking to the ring. Even more scary than the Undertaker was the Soul Taker who seemed to perform some ritual on Cousin Junior after he was left for dead by the Undertaker. Fathers were seen covering the eyes of the children in the arena. Memphis Street Fight: Brad Armstrong & Bill Dundee vs Dirty Dutch Mantel & The Dirty White Boy ended in a Double Countout. The rules allowed Mantel to bring his bull whip to the ring but this plan backfired as he was the one being snapped out by Superstar Bill Dundee. Mantel decided to hightail it towards the locker room but Superstar followed him behind the curtain. Armstrong and the DWB were not to be outdone as the brawled all over the arena. Dustin Rhodes vs Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart & Missy Hyatt ended in a 20-minute draw. Jimmy Hart and Missy Hyatt were somewhat neutralized by Miss. Tennessee who came rushing to ringside after Missy interfered early in the match. It seems Miss. Tennessee has made it her mission to stop Missy from getting involved in Gilbert’s matches. Eddie was all fired up to start the match as he was still fuming at Dustin kissing Missy last week but Dustin didn’t seem to mind as a brawl was just what he seemed in the mood for. Dustin has definitely not shied away from any situation since coming to the CWA as he has already gotten on the bad side of both the First Family as well as Tojo and his group. The UWF Tag Team Champs, Honkey Tonk Man & Greg “The Hammer” Valentine with Jimmy Hart defeated the Freebirds in a non-title match with help from the Studd Stable (Robert Fuller & Sid Eudy). The Studd Stable seemed to just be observing their competition as these two teams are most likely the top two challengers to their Southern Tag Titles. As Fuller distracted ref, Jerry Calhoun, Sid Eudy came in and powerbombed Jimmy Garvin. Southern Title Match: Jeff Jarrett © defeated Tarzan Goto with Tojo Yamamota by DQ as he had Goto locked in the Figure Four Leglock when Kendo Nagasaki came rushing out from the back and sprayed some mystical green mist into the eyes of the champ. This quickly became obvious that Kabuki was the new addition that Tojo has been talking about. What also became obvious was that Dustin Rhodes was not done with his feud with the Japanese as he rushed out and attacked the trio by himself. This went well but only for a short period of time and in the end, it was Jarrett and Rhodes left laying in the middle of the ring as the Japanese dodged debris during their celebration to the locker room. USWA World Title Match: “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig © vs “The King” Jerry Lawler: Lawler must pay Hennig $500 for every punch he throws. A week ago, nobody was even sure this match was going to take place as Randy Savage seemed to hit Jerry Lawler with a car injuring his right shoulder. Lawler vowed to be here for the match and he is but his shoulder is heavily wrapped. Jerry Jarrett has vowed to protect the legitimacy of this match but some think that this is too little, too late as Hennig clearly has the advantage over the injured King. As the match progresses, it is obvious that Lawler is not 100%. After nearly 15 minutes, Lawler has not thrown 1 punch. Maybe he is not able to or maybe he even believes he can’t win the match and doesn’t want to hand any of his money over to the champion. None of this has stopped Hennig from breaking a bunch of rules for his advantage. He may be right that the King throws a few punches but lets not for a minute think that Hennig is not above a dirty break here or a grab of the tights there to save his belt. We have had a few momentum changes through the first 25 minutes but Hennig, who seems to have a deeper arsenal has managed to carry more of the action. Lawler has started to take some big blows and is struggling to get to his feet. As his confidence grew, Hennig starts to belittle Lawler… making mocking signs about his crown and then even pulling down his own strap and pretending to shadow box an opponent. According to Lance Russell, this was all an attempt to anger Lawler into throwing a few weakened punches by Lawler so Lawler would have to fork over some cash. Hennig turns to the crows and starts to mock them… pointing at their “hero” while signaling that his waist is the one that holds the belt. Lawler, from his knees, shoves Hennig, who simply laughs and then comes down to a big boot to the head of Lawler. We get about three more failed attempts by Lawler going after Hennig with the champ delivering a big blow each time to keep all the momentum from Lawler and the energy from the fans. Finally, Lawler just says its now or never and starts to just absorb the blows from Curt while continuing to rise up. Each blow from Hennig has less and less effect on Lawler. Finally, he just completely no sells a huge punch by Hennig and Lawler shoves the champ into the corner and he rushes in and leaps on the second rope straddling Hennig. Lawler pulls the strap down, kind of stretches out that right shoulder and then just starts wailing on the champ. The crowd starts to count the blows and when we get to a dozen, Lawler jumps down from the middle rope and the champ just face plants in the corner. Lawler, quickly back up on the second rope… WHAM… Fist drop on Hennig Lawler drags the champ up by his hair… WHAM… Piledriver on Hennig Lawler covers the champ as Jerry Calhoun rushes into position 1…2… Suddenly, from behind, a man in a ski mask pulls Jerry Calhoun from the ring by his legs. Nobody knows exactly what is happening for a second until the man pulls the mask off at its Randy Savage. Lawler and Savage are equally enraged and go after each other. This epic brawl is short lived as security storm the ring after about 3 minutes during which Hennig simply took his belt and left. In the end, we see Lawler getting medical attention which he waves off. Savage leaving the ring in handcuffs and Hennig probably hailing a cab to the airport with his title still around his waist. The chaos at the end, almost made the fans forget about Lawler not winning the title… Almost!

What happened last week to end the show? As the show came to an end last week, we saw Eddie Marlin rush onto the set in urgent need of a doctor. When asked what happened, all he could say before the screen faded to black was Lawler… Randy Savage uh… So it turns out that as Jerry Lawler was leaving the TV studio, Randy Savage hit him with his car and then got out of the car and was all over Jerry Lawler. It was at this time that Jeff Jarrett, Dustin Rhodes and the Freebirds were leaving and then rushed over to aid Lawler. Savage got back in his car and drove off. An ambulance was called for Lawler who was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis. While the situation was frightening when it happened, it seems that Lawler suffered only minor injuries with the most significant being a separated right shoulder. At Lawler’s request, no incident was filed with the Memphis police as he says that he will deal with the Randy Savage situation himself. As for the USWA World Title Match between Lawler and “Mr. Perfect” Curt Henning which is only a little more than a week away, Lawler vows to be ready but many say that the injured right shoulder may hamper his ability to throw those big right hands. This may help his wallet as he will be fined $500 per punch thrown but also will hurt his chances to become the world champ. Lance Russell visited Jerry Lawler at his home this week where Lawler was recuperating with his arm in a sling. Lance Russell: First of all Jerry, what happened last Saturday afternoon? Jerry Lawler: That’s simple. The one they call the Macho Man wasn’t so macho. He needed a car to do what he couldn’t do. He came up from behind and ran me over. Lucky for me, I just rolled over the hood and landed on my right shoulder. But listen up Macho… you better have eyes in the back of your head because Memphis is my town and I got a lot of friends. Revenge is coming but you just won’t know when. Lance Russell: So King, everyone wants to know what’s going to happen to your USWA World Title shot next Monday on January 27 at the Midsouth Coliseum? Jerry Lawler: Lance, that depends on who you ask. If you ask the doctors, I won’t be able to wrestle next Monday night. If you ask Curt Hennig, this shoulder injury is just an excuse because I know I can’t beat him…. But you’re the first person to ask me that question and the answer is very simple. I will be at the Midsouth Coliseum, and I will wrestle Curt Hennig for the title and I will leave as the champion. Lance Russell: And what about the stipulation that you will have to pay Hennig $500 for every punch you throw. Will you still be able to punch like you do? Jerry Lawler: We’ll let Hennig’s jaw answer that question next Monday. I bet he might be slurring his words. Interesting thing was that when the show came back live, the USWA champion, Curt Hennig was in studio with Lance and Dave Brown. Curt Hennig: Let’s do a little trip down memory lane. The first time, Jerry Lawler failed to defeat me, he blamed a coin. The next time he failed to defeat me, it was Randy Savage’s fault and now, he claims that the Macho Man hit him with a car. Lance Russell: C’mon on now Curt. There were witnesses. Curt Hennig: Oh yea, I forgot. The witnesses were all his buddies here in Memphis. It was Dustin Rhodes… the Freebirds… and the owner of the company’s son, Jeff Jarrett. Like their not in cahoots with the so-called King. Where was Jimmy Hart? Where was Eddie Gilbert? Where were any of the people not in Lawler’s pockets looking for a hand out…. That’s right Lance, they weren’t there because it DIDN’T HAPPEN. Now the King put his arm in a sling because he wants a reason why he will fail again this Monday night. He wants a reason why I don’t fall down when he throws those punches. Remember this Lawler… it is better to lose for free then to lose and pay me thousands of dollars because your punches didn’t get the job done! Southern Title Situation It will be Tarzan Goto with Tojo Yamamota getting the title shot this week against Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett had a pretty tough match this week against “The Crippler” Rip Oliver which Tojo and Tarzan came out to “scout.” As Jeff Jarrett locked in the Figure Four, Tarzan started to head for the ring but Dustin Rhodes made the save. Tojo was furious and vowed revenge on Rhodes and that Jarrett will soon see that he is no match for the Japanese monster…. TARZAN GOTO. Southern Tag Team Situation While the Studd Stable (Robert Fuller & Sid Eudy) are not in action at the Midsouth Coliseum this week, the tag team division is getting deeper and deeper. Many believe that the winner between the Freebirds and UWF Tag Team Champions, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine and Honky Tonk Man, will earn a Southern Tag Title match in the near future. This week saw the Freebirds with Dustin Rhodes take on The First Family (Valentine, HTM, and Eddie Gilbert). This match saw a crazy ending as Missy Hyatt tried to spray perfume in the eyes of Michael Hayes but Dustin Rhodes grabbed her hand, tossed the perfume away and then planted a big kiss onto Missy Hyatt. This sent Eddie Gilbert into a rage where he grabbed a chair and swung it at Dustin’s head. Luckily he missed Dustin but it his wild anger, he nailed the referee causing the immediate DQ. Brad Armstrong-Dirty Dutch Mantel/Dirty White Boy Situation Last week, after being attacked by Dutch and the DWB two weeks ago, Brad challenged Dutch and the DWB to a tag match at the Midsouth Coliseum against himself and a mystery partner. This week, Dutch and the DWB destroyed two jobbers in a tag match and then went to the podium wondering who Brad’s tag team partner would be as they were sure that no one would be on his side in a fight against the two toughest men in the CWA! Dutch Mantell: Hey Brad. What is this… wrestling trivia? Are we just supposed to guess your partner? I know you like to go to the gym but are the 45 pound plates falling on your head? Are you just so dumb you forget his name? DWB: I think your mama build you a swing facing the house when you were little Armstrong and your brain kept slamming into the kitchen window because your brain stopped working. Lance told them that that would be enough as they were told that Brad’s partner was going to be a mystery. Both Dutch and the DWB were adamant that they wanted to know who. This is when Brad comes out? Brad Armstrong: I think you two blokes have been out in the bush two long. I can guarantee you to that I got a partner and when you see who it is, you two sheilas will be strewthed with fear. Dutch Mantell: Now I know you cracked your head once two many time. I don’t have a clue of what your even talking about. Brad Armstrong: Oh, I’m sorry. I guess I’ve been hanging around my partner to much this week, I picked up some of his slang terms. DWB: This has gone on far too long… I think you been talking to your imaginary friend just like when you were a kid and its time we beat the stupid out of you. Dutch and the DWB close in on Brad just as the crowd cheers wildly…. Lance Russell: Oh by golly, look at this… from behind its Superstar Bill Dundee Dundee with a 2x4 comes out and cracks both Dutch and the DWB in the back with the 2x4 as the two dirties run off. A big promo from Brad and the Superstar hypes of the fans for the big event in the Midsouth Coliseum and later Dutch and the DWB return and do the same as they are sure not going to be intimidated by the Shrimp on the Barbie! Others with wins on this week’s tv show. Too Cold (Too Cold Scorpio & Iceman Parsons) The Undertaker Cousin Junior The Fab One Steve Keirn Midsouth Coliseum Card: January 27, 1990 USWA World Title Match: “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig © vs “The King” Jerry Lawler Southern Title Match: Jeff Jarrett © vs Tarzan Goto with Tojo Yamamota Memphis Street Fight: Brad Armstrong & Bill Dundee vs Dirty Dutch Mantel & The Dirty White Boy Freebirds vs Greg Valentine & Honky Tonk Man with Jimmy Hart Dustin Rhodes vs Eddie Gilbert with Jimmy Hart The Undertaker with Paul Bearer vs Cousin Junior Steve Keirn vs Rip Rogers

WOW.... such great work here. I loved how the videos you found support the show and results. Most of us just find a picture and add it but you had the video of Vader's arm injury. You have also mastered the match description from beginning to end. I struggle to do more then the entrance and the finish but you give such detail to all your matches. UWF is on a roll heading into the 90's.

Awesome job getting all your new talent sorted out. I really liked the Piper interview. He could really throw a wrench into so much of what is going on in PCW. Also, thought the first match of Coast to Coast was great. They are another one of those newcomers that is going to cause chaos. Great start to the 90's.

I really enjoyed all the little pieces that you added to the show like the Perez brothers on the beach, Patera in the gym, and the Destruction Crew coming out of the wrecked building. I think Patera is a nice choice to be next for Hogan... his power would make the match very believable. The AWA seems ready for the 90's.

What a night for Warrior. First, a loss which I thought might be devastating to his WWF status but then the big win over Vader. Speaking of Vader... very interested to see what he does here. Great ending to the Rude-Andre match. Is this all for Andre? Looking forward to this.

Really enjoyed the segment on joining the USWA and the changes that were made. Lock is one scary lady! PIP and Precious could take over BCW. Great show!

Nice summaries this week. Enjoy the focus on the big boys and the push to get over. Luger seems to have no shortage of challengers.
