Another fun read. I like the Islanders going with the traditional island names. What does Superstar want to talk to Tunney about. You have set the hook in already and now I can't wait for the next show. The promo with the Candy Man was priceless! Patera vs Valentine is big time! Crazy Backlund seems to be on everyone's mind! What a heel he has become! Looking forward to Wrestlemania Thanks for making finally, after 48 years, enjoy the WWF

Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to Seatlle Showdown. Jake with the Freebirds is wild! Gordy and Bigelow should be great. Bigelow has had an awesome start to his career. He is one of my favorites.

Now I would be hooked for life after watching that event on TV. I really enjoy how you write up Paul Boesch stammering around the microphone! Basically every match on your card was better then anything I saw on TV as a kid. Like how Goulet took the loss in the big steel cage match as it kept everyone else strong. I think Windham is a perfect choice for the Western States Title. He can do it all and will step up to any type of match that you set up for him.

Nice show. I must say that I am more excited by Brunzell and Blair than Brunzell and Gagne. Hogan nose to nose with Jumbo makes for a nice patriotic showdown I am really interested to see where you go with the AWA as the roster is so stacked. It will be a wild an fin ride.

I put Magic Dragon back on the free agent list but he can only be used as Magic Dragon and not Kabuki going forward. I used the same logic here as with Tiger Jeet Singh. We said that anyone who is still an active wrestler and has wrestled at least 10 matches in the U.S. in a given year could theoretically come back to the U.S.

NWA releases Mr. Pogo and adds Scott McGhee.

I know Mr. Wrestling II doesn't have a lot left in the tank. He will just be a JTTS for me going forward. If anyone thinks they have something for him, let me know. He is free of charge.

Parade of Champions was awesome! It left so many questions unanswered which would make us turn in for the next show: Like what happens next for Skaaland? What is Studd doing here? Paul Orndorff! Fuller and the Bullet...WOW! A friendly handshake from Ayala? What is that all about? What was going on with the Japanese Fury and Slinker? Some angles came to a close which again hooks us in for the next show to see what is next!. I will say that I am disappointed that the Rich/Cooley match was a Loser Leave Town Match because you have down such a great job building up these guys. I hope whoever gets Johnny Rich keeps him in the forefront as he was great as the Mafia Man. The Grapplers over the Movement and we now have double champions! Match of the night... Lawler vs Adonis. This could be over or maybe Adonis wants more. Can't wait to see. Karachi Vice just seemed too much for Bruce and Keith Hart And some angles are just so hot they can't end: Martel and St. Clair Bock vs VonErich: I wasn't 100% sure which way you were going to go here. VonErich in Texas made it seem natural but surprises keep us coming back. Either way you went, we were going to be the winners but I think Bock deserves a rematch or two! AWESOME SHOW! You put in a lot of work for this one and it paid off big time.

NWA releases Md Dog Lefebvre and adds Danny Davis (Mr. X)

Awesome show! The Gentleman's Club was great and is one of my favorite segments in the entire game after just one week. Lord Alfred Hayes and his comments during the Candy Man Match had me laughing out loud! It looks like we might get Slaughter vs the Sheik and Patera vs Valentine. Those would be huge matches for Wrestlemania. Those American vs the Foreign Invader where so hot in the 80's. Perfect booking and Patera vs Valentine might just be the match of the card. Often, Valentine has not gotten the attention he deserves in this games and you have him right where he belongs... near the top. You have me hooked in on this Backlund/Bruno thing. I know wrestlemania has Backlund vs the Superstar in a rematch but the last few weeks has me wondering what is going on. Great booking!

Nice set of house shows. Good job dividing up the roster and hitting more venues. Verne is making the money now. Nikita vs Bravo... great job thinking about locations here. I always forget to do that. I enjoy the Link/Elizabeth thing. It just makes me laugh that when I was like 10, I always argued that wrestling was real. Brody/Hansen vs the Russians... need a video copy of that brawl! As always, enjoyed your work. Thanks

Very well booked! A huge card that does not give to much away before next's week Legendary Showdown. With two title for title matches, I was hooked from the beginning and in the end I am leaving thinking that was an awesome TV show but in reality for NWA Houston, it just added to next week's card! Liking the trio of Dory, Baron and the Sheik. I could almost see some riots happening in the stands on a hot Texas night after they cause some sort of havoc. Youngbloods vs Sullivan and Purple Haze is a great bout! Such a contrast in styles but they would have bumped and sold all over the place for each other. I am beginning to think I wish I had one of this one city promotions. GIves you such an opportunity to progress story lines in a way that would keep your audience on the edge of their seats

NWA sends to Kevin VonErich, Tony Altlas and Rick McGraw to the WWF for Black Bart, Bobby Jaggers and Tim Horner

Fun TV show. I liked Verne warning Koloff in the beginning and then Koloff taking ou out on Greg Gagne at the end. Give credit to Greg for accepting the challenge. Piper and the Fiesta Garen was awesome. Wondering wants next! The Koloffs now have both Hansen and Brody to worry about! Makes this a pretty even fight! Mr. Olympia will make a great TV champ... good pick by the kid in the audience. Your Buddy Landel promo was awesome as usually. Looking forward to Rage in the Cage

Thanks for the pre-show. It really helps keep everything straight. I know we all the shows we produce in a week here, I sometimes get confused.

For weeks Backlund has been my favorite segment of your show but he now has some competition as Fuller at the plantation was priceless. The fun-loving Candy Man might be in some trouble here with KKB. The Islanders attacking the Fantastics is interesting. This one is so big as I can see only one team surviving this one. I am excited that Superstar is getting the rematch at Wrestlemania. I thought it might be Bruno. While Bruno and Backlund in the ring would be awesome, I would hate to lose Bruno at the announce table. His no nonsense one-liners are priceless. Dr.D. vs Santana: WOW! This one could go on and on with the belt going back and fourth. Interested to see what's next for Andre. I give you credit with him. He is difficult to write for as he just crushed everyone and ruins people you have spent time building up. After that Saturday Night Main Event, I am really looking forward to Wrestlemania.

Nice job with this one. I often find it hard to write that last show before the big one as my timing is off. Sometimes, I have nothing to cover and sometimes I got to get through to much stuff. It seems like you are all set. I love mystery partner matches! Looking forward to that one. Tully for Bob is one of the big ones I am looking forward to the most. As is Fuller vs Bass. This is one where the winner could jump up into title contention. You have done a great job of getting us ready for Bock vs Kerry. Really interested seeing which direction you go here. Lawler vs Adonis has been great and it just seems like this one is so personal that it could go on forever!

Really looking forward to rage in the cage. I enjoyed the Verne Gagne and Stanley Blackburn segments. Verne pretending to care about anything but the ratings was great. Blackburn seems a little thin skinned as he suspends Hall and the Hennigs. It will be interesting to see if he lives to regret that decision. Buddy Landel continues to be the one of your best pieces of work every week. You just have a knack for making him hilarious! Rich and Sawyer on regular TV! Love it. I do feel Wildfire got a little stale in real life in Georgia as he seemed to get hemmed into the babyface role. I liked him better in Memphis as you never knew what was coming. It doesn't matter if its the Fiesta Garden or Piper's Pit... they are always fun to read. Fuji better be careful. Hulkster needs to jump over some people here in the AWA to get to where he wants to be and Jumbo might be a leap.

Going back to the TV show, the interview with the Crazy Gang was great. I know you have said on a few occasions that it is not your strong point but every tome you do one, it steals the show. You have so many big stars and while I would love to see Terry Gordy face Texas Red or Bam Bam anytime, I am now really excited to see if Orton can deliver on his promise!

Awesome main event. Sam Houston continues his rise to the top here in defeat. No shame at all in going down to Race in 14 minutes with an injured leg. I am really liking your use of Kevin Sullivan. He is the perfect leader of a heel faction in any promotion during the territory days! That was one evil team... Dory, Baron and The Sheik. They could really cause some chaos in a lights out, unsanctioned match against some top heels. Paul Boesch might be in for a big payday. Baby Bull is going to have to lose that nickname if he keep crushing people! No more Baby! I think you got Houston wrestling down pat! Thanks for another fun show.

NWA sends Tom Prichard to the MidAtlantic for Joel Deaton

Clearly the Show of the Year so far in my mind! The lead is was AWESOME! Backlund again knocked it out of the park with that interview. When you teach an online creative writing class, sign me up. I can just see it all as it is happening. As always, you have the WWF commentators down and Gorilla was a real highlight for me. Am very interested to see what you plan for Andre. He could have held any title he wanted all around the world but only held 6 in his entire career. He was more like a circus character but the canvass is blank here. Great title match! You kept Superstar hot, increased Backlund's heelness and introduced possible the Match of the Year with Bruno coming after the champ! Amazing booking! Simply the best write up of a Battle Royal I have seen in any game I have been a part of! Hate to do this to you buddy, but you have raised the bar so high, I can only imagine what Wrestlemania will be like!

Muldoon better be careful or bring backup! Bruno calling Fuller a used car salesman was great. Crazy Bob Backlund again steals the show! From the attack on Magnum Jerry Allen to his interview about the Superstar. AWESOME! SNME is going to be great! Really interested in the Battle Royal. As a kid, I would skip over the WWF but now it is Must See TV!

Great show as always. Crippler" Rip Oliver and "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley vs. "Mean" Mike Miller and "The Memphis Mafia Man" Johnny Rich w/"Cool" Carl Fergie: This is such a perfect example of your ability to see things in characters that I miss. When I think of Oliver, I always think of a Crippler as the heel and Johnny Rich as the babyface. You see outside the box and always hit it out of the park. Fuller vs Bass... Love it! These two have not gotten a lot of attention of late and they really are tow huge names in 80's Wrestling! I must give credit to Blehschmidt for creating The Movement and you continuing it. They are one of the best creations this game has scene! The basically rules most of the AWA promotions last year and became a National force and now it continues in the USWA. Martel helping Lightfoot is even better than facing him. Good booking here. Karachi Vice vs Harts seems like a Stampede Special. I think this is a big one for your pecking order. Whoever comes out on top jumps up the ladder while the loser might not recover. As long as this game continues, I could watch Adonis and Lawler. I had Adonis once and had trouble writing for him. You obviously don't have that issue! Bock vs Kerry is going to be historic! It is like a fork in the road for the USWA. You can't go wrong with either direction you go but it will shape the USWA for the rest of 1985. The main event would have a TV crowd going wild and you did a nice job of keeping Tully and the Bullet hot. More great booking here! Awesome show as we get closer to the Parade of Champions
