NWA release Ron Ritchie to make room for the Masked Superstar

Great week of NWA Houston as we get 3 matches and 2 title changes. Wendy Richter vs Misty Blue is the one I have been waiting for. Like Dory winning some gold down here in Texas. It took me a while but I finally think I know who the Blue Stars are... and they are getting some revenge now!

Enjoying the new AWA. You gave us a lot of quality matches here on TV which I wish they would have done back in the day. Great Fiesta Garden here as you came up with a wild way to introduce Savage & Brody Not sure if Steve Doll or myself was more shocked that he won the ESPN TV title. HTM might pay a heavy price for his actions here. Bock better be ready... Nikita is a monster! Give Pringle credit... he had a plan and it worked perfectly. Adonis makes a nice champion but he better be ready for Piper's revenge. Great show as the heels win the night but in the last few weeks, they have angered Savage, Piper and Martel. Will be interesting to see if the heels can keep their gains

WOW.... Twin States came back hotter then before. Sorry, I got a little behind. Really enjoying the Mantell/Brisco feud. Thought Brisco pinning Dutch 3x in one night before getting bullwhipped was a great start to the chaos. Enjoyed the bullwhip on a pole match as it turned into a tire iron in the sling match... so creative. Plowboy as the Giant Machine was a surprise and I am enjoying his feud Akbar. Speaking if Akbar... he came in like a house a fire... literally. Was wondering what the rules of the Australian Street Fight were and then was shocked at how easily they tricked Fuller and Golden. Leduc seems to be in the mix of everything here in Twin States as he almost won the title from T.A. Sadistic Steve Strong is also causing a stir here. From his entrance when we had 8 men handcuffed to his victory over Armstrong, he is the new wild card in TWIN STATES. Okay... I need to know... who is NIghtmare #3? Buzz/Bullet could be the new feud of the decade in Twin States as it could go on and on like Sawyer and Wildfire did in Georgia and it could sell tickets EVERY TIME! Great job with Beach Brawl. I need some of your inspiration to get myself caught up.

NWA also adds Blackjack Mulligan and Kamala to the trade block

Awesome opening this week in Knoxville. That would be a scene that the people in Tennessee would never forget. I wonder who they got to sacrifice their car to let Funk crash into it. Money is tight there! Big match with St. Clair and Afi Gerry Morrow's character is awesome and would really get some big heat with some of the hill folk there in Kentucky and Tennessee. Fun video with Bob Brown and Mike George. I used to love these things when I was a kid. Huge 8 Man Tag match that would have really had a TV crowd excited. I enjoy when you hype up multiply angles with one match. Can't wait for Labor Day Wars!

NWA places Bugsy McGraw, Scott McGhee, Bill Ash, Buzz Tyler, Mike Miller, Scott Casey and maybe Black Bart on the block

Great show! Tojo is like a ticking time bomb. You never know when he is going to snap. Big win for Debbie Combs over the NWA Women's Champ If I knew Idol was going to face Race on TV, I would have set in front of the TV all day long.

Welcome to the game! Great restart here to the AWA. I think you did a great job getting all your wrestlers in the pecking order you like. The Piper/PP3 interview was the highlight for me. Looking forward to seeing who Piper will be facing. Like the Martel/HTM match and I bet Martel will want some revenge for that guitar shot. This could the beginning of a great feud. To me, it looks like your heel tag division is stacked.... with Bass/Jaggers, the Rockers, the Sheepherders and Conway Jr./Shaska. It will be fun to see if the babyfaces can match them.

Nice week of house shows here. Liked how you used tag matches to push the feuds as you head into the Labor Day wars. Enjoying seeing Wildfire and cousin Johnny being big time heels! Vin Man is a smart dude. Not only did he get away from a powerhouse like DJ, but he left with the women! The Rock n Roll RPM's seem to be getting ready for some gold! The Elite weren't so Elite here. Expect them to come out in full force next time! BIG TIME MAIN EVENT IN CORPUS CHRISTI.... Labor Day Wars is going to be HUGE

Gordy vs Steamboat is going to be EPIC! Enjoying Misty here. Muraco and Snuka is a MONSTER team! Looking forward Phoenix Firestorm

Fun show leading into Labor Day Wars! Enjoying the Vin Man segments.... Laughed out loud when he called him Misty Cloud. Nice job continuing the push of Lelani Kai's stable. Morgan is turning into a MONSTER heel. Like reading how he is chained on his way to the ring. Tiger Jeet vs Colon is going to be a blood bath... make sure to send the video to Puerto Rico so the hometown fans get to see their man. WOW... big challenge to the Road Warriors by the Grapplers. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. As if we needed to hype up Lawler and Funk more... that is going to be WILD!! Nice main event and a big win for the Rock n Roll RPM's.

Interesting opening bout. I was surprised when they all came out together and appeared to be on the same side. Tojo quickly reminded me we they were bit reluctant at the opening. Some really great bouts for TV that would keep me coming back week after week. Was just wondering were Sam Houston has been. Wondering if I missed part of an angle?

NWA adds Billy Robinson and releases Joe Savoldi

Great week of shows for the USWA. I think the Slater/Dream match gives the nod to the Texas loop this week as to my favorite but just by a hair. Loved how Myers came back for quick revenge! Give Vin Man some credit, he doesn't back down!..... Lawler vs Funk is going to be legendary. Enjoying the Ebony Express/Lonestars battles The Elite are atop my most hated list right now... and they had a very interesting night. I wonder if Skaaland os going to be made at his boys for letting him get knocked out!

And the Champagne keeps on flowing! Great show.... and I am hooked on Morrow! Dream Machine vs Slater is going to be a WAR! Not sure Vin Man learned his lesson. Must give it to him though as he has the guts to call out Lawler again. Really liking Lelani Kai's stable. The Medics and Tui are going to cause some chaos. Lawler vs Funk is BACK!!! Reminds me of the empty Mid-South Coliseum when these two went at it.... if I remember correctly It takes a genius to make Greg Gagne, Bruce Hart and Steve O interesting characters in this game. AWESOME JOB Poor Brenda... I thought stupid blonde was just a stereotype but if she believes that the Company Men are the greatest team of the 80's, she might must prove the stereotype. I will give them credit with all the info in the briefcase on the other teams.... They must be the first to use analytics. Rip Oliver vs Wildfire Tommy Rich could be main event anywhere in the country except maybe in this crazy world e created. Morgan vs Ayala.... this more than fulfills the need for two bog hosses going at it! Really looking forward to this one! I am used to the Patriotic team coming out on type in the end but I don't know about this one... Karachi Vice is DOUBLE WIDE AND DOUBLE TROUBLE as Gordon Solie would say Can't wait for Labor Day!

Awesome shows this week. Liked how Hayes tried to slow down Steamboat but the Dragon was having nothing to do with it! Terry Gordy is just a beast in Pacific! I will admit that with all of your tag team names, I sometimes forget who is on each team but I don't think I can every forget the Dog Pound... perfect name for them

Sorry I fell a little behind with my comments. Really enjoyed Showdown VII. I was a little surprised to see Dory lose the TV title but Takano and Yamamota will be fun to watch. Looking forward to seeing what's next for Dory here in Houston. Glad someone took control of the women's division. The tournament is really taking shape. Looks like Misty Blue and Richter are heading to the top of the class. Okay... so who are the Blue Stars! As always, enjoyed NWA Houston!

Gary Hart with Adams is AWESOME TV. I always that Hart was one of the best in the business and for me, Adams was always better as a heel!

Gerry Morrow is moving up my list of favorite heels in the game right now. Great character choice and angle. Nice use of Lelani Kai and I am looking forward to the Grapplers vs the Medics Afi and Tui is a great feud and gives those fans who like the combo of agility and power a great match-up! Brings me back to me days watching Polynesian Pro on Saturday afternoons on MSG in NY. Rooting hard for Sweet Ebony Express Steve O better be a Superhero or he is going to get a butt whooping for the trash he is spewing Great job making Morgan look like the wild animal heel who needs to be chained up. Makes his segments even more interesting. Wow.... who do the Elite think they are... choosing when they wrestle! I wonder if the USWA board is going to like having their match making powers taken from them? Dick Slater is another favorite of mine as he could really ride the fence between baby face and heel! Brenda and the Beauty Shop did a nice job here of hyping up the Crippler/ Wildfire situation! WOW... FUNK IS BACK IN A BIG WAY. LAWLER BETTER BE READY NOW! Great set of House shows this week but that Main Event in Louisville was CRAZY! Great stuff going on in the USWA!

NWA releases Bob Brown after getting Jushin Liger from the Pacific

Kabuki sprays Gary Hart... this is going to get interesting!

NWA adds Keith Hart and Dave Morgan and releases Swede Hansen and Rocky Kernodle

Close call and I would have loved to be at either event but I think Dirty Dutch's antics gives the slight nod to the Mississippi loop. I will say that having Carson in one location and Ron Wright in the other makes for great shows in either place. Looking forward to the TV show as maybe we find out... 1. Who the 3rd Nightmare is 2, What's Leduc's future 3. When the Bullet is healthy enough to take on Sawyer himself

Fun TV show that kicked off with a blast. I am enjoying the return of Dream Machine and that was a great opening bout with the Nightmare. Sunny War Cloud gives you another character to hook in the fans! I am really enjoying Sweet Ebony. For some reason Sweet Brown Sugar was one of my favorites. Nice to see them in an angle with the Lone Stars. What is going on with Steve O.... very interesting Super Fly Tui with a nice win but then it gets interesting.... Dr. Dream sells the Medics? Kai has a nice stable but I want to see what Dream does with the cash. Dream Machine might even be more unpredictable then Dirty Dick Slater who he called out. DJ and Kelly fulfill the big horses match on your card. Your roster really has something for everyone. Brenda's Beauty Shop is a big hit with me. Colon vs Tiger Jeet checks another box and gives those blodd thirty fans what they want. This one will be fun. WOW!!! Vin Man ..... not sure what to expect against Lawler..... Awesome house shows this week... Wildfire and Dream vs Slater and Oliver would be my favorite match of the two cards. Wildfire as a heel works so well in 1985. I wish he had made this turn in Georgia so I could have watched it. Never saw Memphis growing up. Sweet Ebony over Lone Star... love it! Wow.... Ayala gets help from Rip Morgon. Poor Super Fly Tui, he wasn't going to fly in this match unless someone through him. Seeing Lawler smack Skaaland would have been worth the price of admission all by itself.
