I love these TV shows that recap huge cards. I wish there was more of these in the 1980's instead of so many jobber matches. Recently, I was watching Mid-South from 1981 and Watts seemed to give us good matches on tv right from the beginning. Your interview with Bock was great and I am so excited for his match with Steamboat. Can't wait to see where you are going with this!

The Family is running Georgia like the Gambino's

Sorry

September 7 A montage of wrestling and rodeo falls set to music introduces the show. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the Dakatos, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Rocky Mountain Wrestling, coming to you from the KCNS studios in Denver. From peak to peak and valley to valley we welcome you Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling. I am Cowboy Bob Tallman and we are coming to you tonight from the KCNS studios in Denver. With me tonight is the President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling, the Lawman, Don Slatton. Don, what a show they had last Monday in the Molby Arena in Fort Collins and tonight, we will be showing you some of the matches from that great event. Jos Leduc vs Mike Von Erich Von Erich has his moments, but this is not Fritz’s show so reality sets in and there is no way for him to handle the crazed Leduc who eventually forces Von Erich to submit in the Inverted Backbreaker In the post-match interview, Leduc is completely off his rocker and just wants to know what his next assignment is from Ernie Ladd. Ox Baker vs Superfly Tui Tui’s aerial acrobatics are fun to watch but he is not big enough and that only lasts so long against Ox Baker. Tui decided to come flying off the top rope to try and catch Baker with a Cross Body Block by got nailed with a Heart Punch. Add Tui’s momentum to the Heart Punch and you understand why he needed medical attention. In the post-match interview, you see why Ox is so scary but you can’t turn away. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City Eric Embry vs Sonny King Eric Embry got the win after evading a bolo punch and connecting with a Piledriver. The interesting thing here was that Ladd sent down Jose Leduc and Grizzily Boone to take care of Embry who Ladd threw out of the Army last week. Once they had roughed up Embry, they went over to fellow Army member Sonny King who was just getting to his feet and then beat him pretty good. Ernie Ladd: One thing for certain, Ernie Ladd is always around the money…. And when you lose… you don’t get no money. Well that chump, Sonny King has lost too much lately and ain’t bringing in no money. So like last week, when the Army beat Eric Embry out of the group, this week, we got rid of another loser and that’s too bad for Sonny cause after I beat that drunken injun, Wahoo McDaniel, to become the Rocky Mountain Champion, we are going to have a big party without Loser Sonny King. Later in the show, Eric Embry and Sonny King haves recovered enough from their beating and they give a wild interview about how they are coming for Ladd and his Army. Ron Bass vs Super Samoan Sakalia Bass survived a tough match with the Samoan by hitting the Ghordbuster but it took a bit of cheating as Bass had to resort to a low blow to gain control of the wild man had Bass staggering after a few kicks, chops and headbutts. Ron Bass on how he feels about his former teammate and Army mate, Eric Embry “Ron Bass is a winner and why Eric Embry cost me the Rocky Mountain Tag belt. I was fuming and Embry got what he deserved. Ernie Ladd wants winners… Ron Bass is a winner…. Eric Embry is a loser.” Promos for the Salt Palace Hillbilly Jim vs Grizzly Boone The Army continues to roll tonight and much of it has to do with Jos Leduc who again interfered and helped Boone hit the Giant Splash! Chris Adams vs Chief Jay Strongbow And the beat goes on for Ernie Ladd’s group tonight as Adams hits the Superkick for the win but it left Adams wanting more as his interview focused on hurting Mike Von Erich the next chance he gets. Promos for the Salt Palace AWA WORLD TAG TITLE: The Movement (Tiger Conway Jr. & Shaska Whatley) vs Tony Atlas & Sweet Brown Sugar Before the match, Tiger Conway asks for the house microphone as Shaska Whatley is holding a briefcase. Tiger Conway Jr.: Before our match, I just wanted to tell you two how much the Movement respects you. I mean what more can we say… just look at you two. Tony… you are chiseled from stone… the perfect specimen and Sweet Brown Sugar… wow… we have been watching you for some time. Such a great athlete. Instead of our match tonight, how about you two, take a look at what’s in this briefcase. Shaska opens it and we see it is full of money. Tiger Conway Jr.: That’s right… we are offering you two, $10,000 to forget this match and come join the Movement. You two brothas would be great additions and would help the Movement control all of wrestling. Tony Atlas: I think you two suckas are just afraid of losing those AWA tag belts. I mean Tony Atlas and Sweet Brown Sugar have been a round a long time and you two ain’t never asked us to come join you until the night we about to take those titles. No Deal…. Ring the bell. As Atlas and Sugar turn to their corners, Whatley closes the briefcase but uses it as a weapon. Since the ref had not called for the bell, it was allowed and away we went with a wild brawl. Eventually, Atlas and Sugar take over and we see Atlas using the Press Slam on Whatley. WHAM…. Jos Leduc rushed the ring and hits Atlas with a chair causing the ref to call for the bell and gave Atlas and Sugar the win by DQ but the Movement retain their World titles. Just after the ref hands the belts to Tiger Jr. and Shaska, Shaska hands the briefcase full of money to Jos Leduc and it becomes obvious that the Movement had a Plan B if Atlas and Sugar didn’t take the briefcase. Jos Leduc, who is doing some serious work for Ernie Ladd, is quickly becoming the most hated man in Rocky Mountain Wrestling as he salutes Tiger and Shaska and they salute him back. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Salt Palace LOSER-LEAVE TOWN: ROCKY MOUNTAIN TITLE: Wahoo McDaniel vs Ernie Ladd If this match was not big enough, the success of Ladd’s Army tonight really has the crowd on the edge of their seats. We get a good 20-25 minute brawl, then we hear the crowd boo as Jos Leduc is making his way to the ring again but then we see Embry and Sonny King attack him from behind. Inside the ring, Wahoo is on the Warpath and is chopping Ladd around the ring. ZAP…. The lights go out. As the lights start to come to, remember it is 1984 and arena lights would take some time to come back on… we see Wahoo McDaniel flat on his back and the Movement, Tiger and Shaska, are on the outside of the ring. The ref is guessing some funny business went on, but he has no other choice but to make the three count as Ladd covers Wahoo for the win. The fans are fuming as the know Ladd and the Movement were in cahoots here as the ref hands the Rocky Mountain title to Ladd and Shaska and Tiger celebrate with the new champ. A saddened Wahoo walks out of Rocky Mountain Wrestling unemployed. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Salt Palace AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase vs Blackjack Mulligan It is hard for the fans to get refocused for this match, but it is their beloved Blackjack going for the World title so within a few minutes the energy is back in the building. Mulligan seems on the verge of winning the title on many occasions but in the end, nobody seems to be able to stop the heels tonight as Dibiase catches Mulligan with a big right hand from a loaded black glove as he retains the World Title. ROCKY MOUNTAIN PRO WRESTLING SEPTEMBER 10, 1984 SALT PALACE SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Kendall Windham vs Luke Aduda Ox Baker vs Jay Strongbow Johnny Rich vs Taras Bulba Chris Adams vs Superfly Tui Ron Bass vs Mike Von Erich Jos Leduc & Grizzily Boone vs Eric Embry & Sonny King ROCKY MOUNTAIN TAG TITLE: Tony Atlas & Sweet Brown Sugar vs The Mountain Men (Rex & Link) ROCKY MOUNTAIN TITLE: Ernie Ladd vs Super Samoan Sakalia

Love crazy Dr. D with a chair

All-Star has Sweet Brown Sugar, Manny Fernandez, Dr. Death, the Road Warriors, Sonny King, and Mr. Pogo on the block

Jimmy Garvin and Barry Windham involved in the opener means this is a BIG EVENT! Poor Kendall. He can't even have a few drinks to ease the pain. An angry Dr. D is a dangerous Dr. D The Claw vs Claw match was interesting and I hope this sets up Kevin for more title matches I liked the Movement going down in this 6 man tag match and I like it was Youngblood who got the win and not Adias. For some reason Brian doesn't do it for me. I need to go back and watch some more of his stuff to see if my childhood memory is tainted/ Love the win by Kerry and hope he stays hot MORE BOCK & STEAMBOAT PLEASE!

I agree that it was a strange move but I figured, and I am unsure if it was true, that Slaughter as the Patriotic American would not necessarily win him over to the Calgary fans so he could still be the heel. We had that idea of the heel Canadians coming to the US in the 80's so I took a chance of the Heel American going to Canada. I am having a lot of trouble finding out too much about what really went on in Calgary so I am just making up things as I go a long.

Great show that anyone would be amazed at what they got for their money. Was doing some research on Mike Shaw... I never knew how good he was and you really captured that. Wasn't really sure how you were going to make Jumbo work when you first picked him but you have done an awesome job with him. Nice ending to Wells and Fergie. Fergie is a great heel and you have, as usual, set up a great mid-card feud. Speaking of Midcard... Tully vs Dibiase... awesome match where the fans would need an intermission after that one. Great match.... Tully and the Axe can't seem to get along. Tito gets over Putski here but must say... the Fab Ones are an awesome fit to Memphis Idol started making the fans happy as we could never let a Russian win on an American Holiday in the 80's Sweetan made a great opponent for the Brass Knuckles Title but Ayala is the perfect choice Murdoch/Adonis and the Kansas Jayhawks are two of my favorite teams and I am glad there is more to come. Was listening to an interview with Mike Graham and he was saying Dutch was not a very good worker... I am surprised... he always seemed to get the crowd involved. And all is right in Memphis... Lawler is the champ! but I wonder what is next for both Lawler and Funk and even Dundee

Just so you know, I am really enjoying this

When Terry Taylor is your opening act, you know you have stacked card coming. Great show.

I love those Masked Men who we know who they are but the authority can't doing anything about it until it is proven like the Bullet here or Dusty and the Midnight Rider or Tommy Rich and Mr. R. It is like the babyfaces have finally caught on and understand cheating is a good thing sometime. It is even better when they get unmasked and it is not them like Brad Armstrong being under the Mr. R mask. A Loser-Leave Town Match on TV would have been golden in 84! Bundy vs Gang might need some ring re-enforcement. Poor Johnny Rich... after the Brainbuster on the Floor he might sound like cousin Tommy does now in 2019 A 43 second Loser Leave Town Match shows who was the real boss of that tag team I can't decide who I want to come out on top of this Herc vs Gordy things. They are two of my all-time favorites. Herc was a great monster heel while Gordy could do it all!

Nice creativity with the Captains Fall Match I think Ellering is going to have to get more involved to keep the title on Race as Martel might just have his number.

September 1, 1984 Music intro with a montage of all the stars of Stampede Wrestling past and present is shown. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Stampede Wrestling, coming to you from the CHCT Studios in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Ed Whalen: Hi everybody and away we go with another edition of Stampede Wrestling. I am Ed Whalen coming to you from the CHCT Studies in downtown Calgary. Today we will be showing some matches from last Monday in the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton and I promise you another ring-a ding-dong- dandy of a show so let’s not waste any time and get you right to the action. MATCH: MX-1 vs Ben Bassarab The question here is, which wrestler is Stampede Wrestling giving the push to and the answer is that this match doesn’t give a clear answer as it ands with a DQ win for Bassarab as MX-1 brought a chair into the ring and smacked Ben over the back. Bassarab did a good job of selling the shot but made one last push by trying to rip the mask over MX-1 but MX-1 was able to escape. MATCH: Dr. Death vs Mr. Pogo with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie Steve Williams did a nice job here of fighting off Mr. Pogo and the Sheik to win with the Oklahoma Stampede. Gamma Singh made a late rush to try and help Mr. Pogo but he got their a little too late and got caught in his own Oklahoma Stampede. Post-Match Interview Jim Davies: Well, Dr. Death that was a nice win as you took out not only Mr. Pogo but also Gamma Singh, but the question really is….. Are you and Manny Fernandez okay? I mean last week, there was some confusion between you two as Manny was not ready for a tag from you and tonight, Gamma rushed in to help Mr. Pogo but Manny was not there for you. Dr. Death: Jim, I think you are trying to make something out of nothing. Manny is not yet arrived for his match tonight and last I looked both Pogo and Singh were left laying flat on their backs in the ring. Trust me… Manny and I are great and we are looking forward to making a run at who ever wins those Stampede Tag titles. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show at the Corral in Calgary MATCH: The Road Warriors vs Curt Hennig & Paul Orndorff with Bobby Heenan The interesting thing here is that Curt Hennig was a No Show and Stu Hart came out and demanded that Bobby Heenan, who is still in a neck brace from last week’s beating at the hands of the Road Warriors takes his place. We get a few awesome moments with Heenan on the microphone, but it is to no avail as Hart stands his ground. As the match starts, Hennan demands that Orndorff starts the match and we get about a 50/50 match for the first 6 minutes but Orndorff can’t handle the Road Warriors by himself and ends up on the bottom. After a few attempted tags by Orndorff, which Heenan refused each time, Animal scooped up Orndorff and tossed him top on the “Brain” which the ref deemed was a tag. Heenan slowly entered the ring and it was like throwing a bone to Cujo. The Road Warriors seemed to remember the derogatory remarks made by Heenan last week and tore him to pieces with the end coming with the Doomsday Device. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW Bobby Heenan: You know what they say… fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Well I have been fooled twice in the last week by Curt Heenig. He left me stranded last week as the Road Warriors beat me within an inch of my life. What did Hennig do? He ran like the coward he is and then tonight… tonight he didn’t even have the guts to show up. Well I promise you, Curt Hennig won’t mess with me again and you know why… he is fired… he is out of the “Family”…. And he is also out of Stampede Wrestling I hold his contract and I am selling it to the highest bidder….he makes me so sick, I never want to see him again… and I guarantee you… I won’t! (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Calgary STAMPEDE TITLE MATCH: Sgt. Slaughter with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs Manny Fernandez We see that Manny Fernandez has made it to his match on time and he really takes it to Sgt. Slaughter. As the Sheik sees his title slipping away, he calls for reinforcements and Pogo and Gamma Singh head to the ring. As they head to the ring, the crowd erupts as Dr. Death rushes down the aisle and attacks them both. With all the chaos on the floor, the ref loses focus for one second and the Sheik tosses a metal object to Sarge who puts the object inside if his elbow pad… WHAM…. Cannon Lariat with the loaded elbow by Sarge on Manny and he is down for the count. Dr. Death heads to the ring and makes sure Sheik’s Army does nothing else to his partner as he aids Manny back to the locker room and it seems like Dr. Death was telling the truth that he and Manny are fine. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW Jim Davies: Well Sheik, what do you have to say for yourself. Sheik Adnan Al Kassie: I say I am the manager of the Stampede Heavyweight Champion and as King Hussain of Jordan asked me to do, I am ridding Stampede Wrestling of all the plagues that are trying to ruin it and showing everyone that follows Allah… that if you believe… good things will come to you. Jim Davies: Enough of your nonsense… you know very well what I am talking about… you threw a metal object to Sgt Slaughter which he used to beat the Ragging Bull, Manny Fernandez, with. Sgt Slaughter: Listen up you maggot … you know and everyone around here knows that I don’t need any help beating Manny Fernandez and you all saw that his partner, Steve Williams tried to interfere in our match. I am warning you Steve Williams, that if you ever come down to the ring during my match, it will be lights out for you. Jim Davies: Interesting that you said that… just before I came in this locker room, Stu Hart told me to let you know that due to the behavior and the Sheik’s Army, next week in Calgary, you will be defending that Stampede Title against Dr. Death. The Sheik and Sarge seemed very upset by this. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Calgary MATCH: Bad News Allen & Stan Hansen vs Nikita Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff As wild as could be. These 4 guys really have it out for each other, and this is a fight for supremacy where all involved wanted to hurt their opponent. Action soon emptied out onto the floor and that is where is stayed. The ref made the 10 count and called for the DCO which didn’t slow things down. Eventually, Stu Hart came to the ring and started yelling at them to stop which slowed the brawl down. Stu Hart: Enough is enough! It is obvious that you four can’t coexist and I know one thing for sure… I am not going to lose my promotor’s license again like earlier this year because of you four. Stop now or you all will be fired. Next Monday in Calgary, you guys can do it all over again in a Steel Cage and who ever loses, MUST LEAVE STAMPEDE WRESTLING! Promos for Monday’s show in Calgary STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TOUNRAMENT FINALS: The British Bulldogs vs Bret Hart & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart With these four, you know you are in for a great match. All excel at bumping and selling and there is enough technical talent in the ring to make this look real good. The end is very controversial and will change Stampede Wrestling forever. We pick up the match where Hart is working over Davey Boy Smith and he locks in the Norther Lights Cloverleaf. Smith is in serious trouble but Dynamite Kid sees this and rushes in to make the save. Jim Neidhart tries to prevent this with a running forearm but Kid ducks under it and What was that??? Wham… Kid drops on Bret breaking the cloverleaf. Stu Hart, who has been at the ring, demands that they ring the bell and referee, Rod Hater seems puzzled. Hart is pointing to the mat where we see that Stu Hart has thrown in the towel… but for who? And why? Jim Davies goes to Hart but seems confused by what Hart tells him but he relays the outcome to the fans. Jim Davies: The winners and first ever Stampede Tag Team Champs…. Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart. Davies goes on to explain that Stu, in order to protect Davey Boy Smith, threw in the towel when he was locked in the Cloverleaf. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: Stu Hart: I learned my lesson a few weeks ago when Dynamite Kid threw in the towel as Ric Flair had my son locked in the Figure Four. It is much better to protect wrestlers to fight another day. Tonight, I saw Davey Boy locked in the Cloverleaf and while he would not give up, I thought of his future. Davey Boy is like a son to me and I wanted to make sure that Bret did not end his career tonight. As you could imagine, the interview with the Bulldogs was one with a lot of anger. The Bulldogs said this was revenge for them protecting Bret Hart a few weeks ago and that Stu Hart is one of the most controlling men they had ever met and something has to be done before he ruins Stampede Wrestling. The Harts are excited about their win but also understand that something fishy has taken place so they grant the Bulldogs a rematch for next Monday in Calgary. Promos for Monday’s show in Calgary AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase vs Ric Flair Another classic that sees a 45-minute draw with both Dibiase and Flair trading Figure Fours and reversals for the last few minutes of the bout. Bobby Heenan was unable to make it out to help Flair due to his earlier beating from the Road Warriors. Flair was still as dirty as ever but if Heenan was there, Dibiase might not be walking out with his title as Heenan and Flair together is becoming unstoppable. Bobby Heenan: Finally, Stu Hart… you got me.… you forced me into the ring tonight just to make sure the Road Warriors injured me so bad that I could not manage…. which is my job here in Stampede… to manage… not wrestle… but to manage Ric Flair to the AWA World Title. Well, Stu Hart… you won tonight but even the Humanoids here in Cowboy Dung Town understand, Bobby Heenan and Ric Flair may lose a battle but we always win the War. As has been the case at the end of recent shows, Stu Hart comes out to announce the next major Stampede Event. THE CORRAL: SEPTEMBER 2, 1984 Johnny Rich vs MX-1 Ric McCord vs Gypsy Joe Ben Bassarab vs Mr. Pogo with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie STAMPEDE TITLE MATCH: Sgt. Slaughter with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs Dr. Death Paul Orndorff with Bobby Heenan vs Road Warrior Hawk STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TITLE: The British Bulldogs vs Bret Hart & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan vs Road Warrior Animal LOSER-LEAVE TOWN STEEL CAGE: Bad News Allen & Stan Hansen vs Nikita Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff Ed Whalen: Folks, make sure to get your tickets to the Corral now as it is going to be a wild one in Calgary. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling.

Oh I can't wait for Labor Day and this show did a nice job a setting up what could be the card of the year. Not sure what would be better but I know Tully-Dibiase andLawler and Funk are both huge matches. What I love the best is that it is in the Mid-South Coliseum which is Mecca of Memphis Wrestling and could lead to some crazy fans if all doesn't go well for the King

Very well written gauntlet match and the Ebony Express was a good choice. You have created some really fun midcard teams that will help to carry your cards. Patera with a clean win over Muraco could mean big things for Patera as he seems poised to start see some main event action. Main event was fun and helped to continue some of your angles.

Labor Days Star Wars is looking good with Bock vs Steamboat a true main event showcase

Really liking the roster you have built and the gimmicks you a=have created. The Family and Miss. Doll have captured our attention but you also have so much fire power to answer them with Reed, Martel and Armstrong

Oh the webs you are weaving! Who is the Monk! And Savage and Valentine after Gino and the Briscos... So many ways this could go! I hope the Aulander Gym was one of those new mega-high school gyms that could sit a few thousand as that was a great show and I know those main-eventers want to get paid! Awesome match here!

September 1 A montage of wrestling and rodeo falls set to music introduces the show. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the Dakatos, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Rocky Mountain Wrestling, coming to you from the KCNS studios in Denver. From peak to peak and valley to valley we welcome you Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling. I am Cowboy Bob Tallman and we are coming to you tonight from the KCNS studios in Denver. With me tonight is the President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling, the Lawman, Don Slatton. Don, what a show they had last Monday at the Auditorium in Colorado Springs and tonight, we will be showing you some of the matches from that great event. Lawman Don: That’s right Bob and what a wild night it was. Let’s get started with Blackjack Mulligan taking in Taras Bulba in a Texas Bull Rope Match. TEXAS BULL ROPE MATCH: Blackjack Mulligan vs Taras Bulba And the violence of the night gets under way. As you would expect, we see the rope being the center of the bout as each man gets choked and whipped to within an inch of his life with each wrestler dragging their opponents to the three corners but never four. That is until Mulligan followed up a Low Blow with the Iron Claw and basically dragged Bulba Around the ring while holding onto the claw for the win. After the match, Blackjack in the studio for a promo. Blackjack Mulligan: Well business around here seems to be picking up and the sides have been drawn. Ernie Ladd thinks that his Army runs Rocky Mountain Wrestling. Well it is the beginning if the end. Wahoo and I are ready for Ladd and his . Cowboy Bob: Blackjack, congratulations on your win against Taras Bulba and next up for you will be an AWA World Title shot as Ted Dibiase and the AWA Tag Team Champions, Tiger Conway Jr. and Shaska Whatley, will be in Rocky Mountain Wrestling next Monday night in Molby Arena in Fort Collins. Blackjack Mulligan: I have known Ted for a long time and sometimes we have been on the same side of the ring and others we have been on opposite sides. He is one of the dirtiest wrestlers I have ever seen… but I can be dirtier… tougher …. And just plain better. This Monday, I know that Ted Dibiase is going to be in for the fight of a lifetime and on Tuesday we will be using the phrase…. New AWA World Champion. Cowboy Bob: Well that would be nice. As far as who will be getting the AWA World Tag Title shot, we will have to wait until later in the show as it will be whoever is holding the Rocky Mountain Tag titles at the end of the night. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado MATCH: Ox Baker vs Ric McCord McCord gives a good showing here as he outwrestles Baker at every turn but it just a matter of time before Ox hits a big move and takes over. The end game with a devastating heart punch by Ox as he gets the win and McCord gets stretchered out. Post-Match Interview: Ox Baker: Well Lawman, I hope you see what happens when you put me in the ring with the likes of no talent shlubs like Ric McCord…. They leave on a stretcher! MATCH: Chief Jay Strongbow vs Jos Leduc Another brawl that saw Strongbow go on the warpath but Leduc shove him into the ref and then pull out a pair of brass knuckles and KO Strongbow. When the ref came to his feet, Leduc had Strongbow locked in the bearhug. Not knowing what had happened, the ref thought Strongbow was out from the submission move and called for the bell giving Leduc the win. Post-Match Interview: Jos Leduc, is basically in a crazed state and is shouting that he is the good soldier and wants to know his next mission. The Lawman seems to want to get away as he wonders what Ernie Ladd has done to the mind of Leduc. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado MATCH: Mike Von Erich vs Grizzly Boone VonErich has been attacked by every member of Ladd’s Army and tonight he is trying to get some measure of revenge. The only problem is that Boone is 440 pounds of nasty as swats Mikey around the ring like a mosquito. Somehow, VonErich connects with a missile dropkick and Boone staggers backwards though the middle ropes out onto the floor. This is where things turned ugly as Jos Leduc obviously got his next orders from Ladd and rushes out and Leduc and Boone do a major number on VonErich that ends with a running Avalanche into the ring barrier. VonErich wins by DQ but he is the second babyface to be stretchered out tonight. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: (Really a Pre-Match Interview for the Ernie Ladd/Wahoo McDaniel Rocky Mountain Title Match as Ladd does all the talking) Ernie Ladd: Listen up Wahoo McDaniel… you drunken Indian… How does it feel to know that everything you have ever done in life, I have done better. We both played college football where I was an All-American and you were again… just a Drunken Indian suspended by Oklahoma for showing up to class smelling of your homemade snake juice. We both played Professional football… you a bench warmer and myself and All-Pro and now we both turned to Pro Wrestling. You… a coattail-riding suck-up and me the leader of men who have taken two off your allies out of this building tonight out of here on a stretcher. Well when I am through with you… you will also be taking a stretcher ride… just leave me the Rocky Mountain Title before they carry you out. MATCH: Hillbilly Jim vs Chris Adams The bad night for the babyfaces continues as Adams steals victory from defeat as Hillbilly Jim controlled the entire match but got caught by a Super Kick and the lights went out and “Gentlemen” Chris Adams gets the win. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: Chris Adams: What a night… not only did I get the win against that Hillbilly who couldn’t get out of the third grade but it was a night that I did not have to pretend to like that spoiled brat Mickey VonErich. On yeah… that’s right… last week when I did see him, I knocked his skull in and this is just a warning… If Mickey shows up again… the same thing will happen. He should just run back to Texas and ask Fritz if he can have his room back. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado BEST 3 OUT 5 SERIES FOR #1 CONTENDER: GOLD MINER’S GLOVE MATCH The Mountain Men (Link & Rex) vs The Super Samoans (Sakalia & Tui) This is the 5th and deciding match between these teams and in tonight’s match, all competitors are allowed to wear any type of gloves they wish to the ring. The Mountain Man come out big old rugged construction gloves with jagged pieces of metal on the back side while the Samoans came out with brass knuckles on and put the thinnest of gloves over the knucks. As for the match, eventually the Samoans had Link in trouble and Super Fly Tui climbed to the top rope and was going to Fly with his intention being to hit Link with a Flying Brass Knuckle shot! WHAM… Rex somehow caught Tui with a studded metal backhand to the head as he dove off and Link made the cover for the win. Due to the violent nature of this match, neither team could do any interview but we do know that somewhere down the road, the Mountain Men will be receiving a Rocky Mountain Tag Team Title Match! COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado ROCKY MOUNTAIN TAG TITLE: Tony Atlas & Sweet Brown Sugar vs The Outlaws (Bass & Embry) This bout has four distinct phases with the fan favorites really taking it to the Outlaws in the beginning. A low blow by Embry swings the tide as the heels take over with Sugar doing a decent job of playing the face in peril. A dazzling escape leads to the tag of Atlas and he goes wild on both Embry and Bass. Bass had been thrown over the top rope out with a military press slam and then Mr. USA spends the next few minutes destroying Embry. WHAM… Bass had recovered enough and ambushed Atlas from behind and Atlas slammed his head into the ring post leaving him a bloody mess. Somehow, Atlas tages in Sugar but now it was 2-1 with Bass and Embry toying with Sugar. As Embry went for a bodyslam, Sugar surprised him and caught him in a roll-up for the win as Atlas and Sweet Brown Sugar became the new champions. POST-MATCH INTERVIEWS Atlas and Sugar were so pumped up to be the new champs and they promised to be fighting champs but that they were going to do their best to hold onto these belts for a long time. They were excited when Cowboy Bob told them that their next match would be for the AWA World Tag Title against the Movement next Monday in Fort. Collins. The interview of the losing team was shocking. Embry spoke first and vowed revenge as Ladd’s entire Army came out with Ladd saying there is no place for losers and his army has to many of them. All of a sudden, Bass, Boone, Leduc and Adams turn on Eric Embry basically beat him out of the group! COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado ROCKY MOUNTAIN TITLE: Wahoo McDaniel vs Ernie Ladd What was interesting here was that Ernie Ladd wore his San Diego Charger helmet to the ring which is basically like spitting in the face of these Bronco fans. Wahoo comes out like a house afire and the two basically brawl for the next 20 minutes. Ladd is frustrated with the fact that he can’t get the pin and shoves Wahoo into the ref who goes down. Ladd then goes out and gets his football helmet and uses it as a weapon and beats Wahoo with it. As the ref begins to stir, Ladd gives Wahoo one more shot and the covers Wahoo for the pin. Ding… Ding… Ding. Instead of making the count, the ref saw that last blow by Ladd and awards Wahoo the win by DQ. Instead of post-match interviews, the Lawman does the talking. Lawman Don Slatton: It is obvious that this feud is getting out of control and for the safety of both Wahoo McDaniel and Ernie Ladd, next week in Moby Arena in Fort Collins, these two men will meet for the last time. It will be a No DQ- Loser-Leave Rocky Mountain Wrestling Match for the Rocky Mountain Title. Cowboy Bob Tallman: Well folks, tonight’s wild rodeo has come to a close. See you next time on AWA Rocky Mountain All-Star Wrestling. So long from Denver! As the show ends, we get the entire card for Ft. Collins ROCKY MOUNTAIN PRO WRESTLING SEPTEMBER 3, 1984 MOBY ARENA: FT. COLLINS Jos Leduc vs Mike Von Erich Ox Baker vs Superfly Tui Eric Embry vs Sonny King Ron Bass vs Super Samoan Sakalia Hillbilly Jim vs Grizzly Boone Chris Adams vs Chief Jay Stronbow AWA WORLD TAG TITLE: The Movement (Tiger Conway Jr. & Shaska Whatley) vs Tony Atlas & Sweet Brown Sugar ROCKY MOUNTAIN TITLE: Wahoo McDaniel vs Ernie Ladd AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase vs Blackjack Mulligan

Powers and Savoldi are great openers as they give those on time to the arena a real treat. I know I keep saying it, but I love Garvin... he was pure magic in getting the fans into it.... sometimes they were with him but I like it better when they were against him. I like the Highway Men and HTM in the middle of the card as they are good at putting on a show until the big guns come out Was surprised to see Stasiak get the DDQ against Schultz. Schultz has been on a roll of late and I could see him going over right away in World Class I like the Movement as transitional champs but think you might have the next champs right there on your roster as I love the Midnight Express as they could get heat all over the country and slide right into that Semi-Main event in every territory as could Steamboat and Youngblood.... whoever comes out on top of this program is the team to beat. The VonErichs are on fire.... as long as there is no title on the line. Great job of keeping all your top guns looking good!

You had me hooked from the second I heard JYD and Hogan would be together. I really thought the mask of the Monk was coming off! Would love to have seen Gino and Sullivan... two of the best ever at putting the crowd in the palm of their hands whether by being good or pure evil... mostly evil! Like the way you keep the titles moving between some of the mid-carders as it makes the fans always think that anything is possible. Thanks for always showcasing the entire AWA

Fun house shows! I must say that I can't wait until the next TV show as I need to know with Krupp was doing in the ring with Saito and then helping Stallion. Patera seems to be on fire and could be a huge player in the singles scene. I like seeing Prichard getting a nice run. I always thought he was pretty underrated

August 25, 1984 Music intro with a montage of all the stars of Stampede Wrestling past and present is shown. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Stampede Wrestling, coming to you from the CHCT Studios in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Ed Whalen: Hi everybody and away we go with another edition of Stampede Wrestling. I am Ed Whalen coming to you from the CHCT Studies in downtown Calgary. Today we will be showing some matches from last Monday in the Corral right here in Calgary along with some great interviews including a special segment with Stu Hart with the dapper Jim Davies. I promise you another ring-a ding-dong- dandy of a show so let’s not waste any time and get you right to the action. MATCH: MX-1 vs Al Costello The masked MX-1 continues to look good here in Stampede has he makes quick work of Castello with the Airplane Drop. MATCH: Paul Orndorff with Bobby Heenan vs Ben Bassarab Bassarab put up a good fight and almost pulled the upset as he hit the flying cross body block and got a 2 ½ count but a distraction by Heenan was all Orndorff needed as he ended it with the Piledriver. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: Bobby Heenan: My God, Stu Hart is one of the dumbest humanoids I have ever met. We got Paul Orndorff wasting his time with jobbers like Ben Bassarab. Just a hint there Mr. Stampede… Paul Orndorff is a Main-eventer! Jim Davies: But you must admit that Ben Bassarab almost beat Paul Orndorff Bobby Heenan: Shut up Davies! The stupid from your hat is seeping into your brain! (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show at the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton Calgary Stampede Match (All 4 in the ring at once- Anything goes) Mr. Pogo & Gama Singh with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs The Sheepherders Truly wild… the Sheepderders are using the flagpole while Mr. Pogo and Gamman Singh are taking liberties with the bamboo stick brought in by Pogo. The problem here was Sheik Adnan Al Kassie knew there was no DQ so he was involved from the get go. The end came with Luke Williams losing focus and going after the Sheik which allowed Mr. Pogo to basically take his head off with the bamboo stick and giving the Sheik’s men the victory. POST MATCH INTERVIEWS: Sheik Adnan Al Kassie: Mr. Jim Davies… I told you last week that King Hussain of Jordon told me to do whatever was necessary to get rid of the locust infestation around here and continue our rise to the top of Stampede Wrestling. Tonight, we did just that and hopefully the plaque has left Canada. MATCH: Curt Hennig with Bobby Heenan vs Ric McCord Almost an identical match to the first one tonight with Heenan’s stable. McCord gets off to a quick start and is doing well until a quick Heenan distraction and then Hennig is on fire with the end coming with the Cradle Suplex. The post-match interview is once again similar to earlier with Heenan calling for more competition but this one was different as an angry Animal and Hawk came out and said that they were sick and tired of Heenan saying he has no competition and that they have just signed to meet Orndorff and Hennig this week in Edmonton. Bobby Heenan makes the mistake of mouthing off to the Road Warriors. Bobby Heenan: Is that supposed to scare the Heenan Family. Last time I looked you lost your last two matches. One to the British Bulldogs and then you lost the World Tag Titles to some team of losers by the name of Shaska Whatley and Tiger Conway Jr. WHAM! Hawk almost takes Heenan’s head off with a clothesline. Curt Hennig sees this basically decides that facing the Road Warriors 2-1 would be insanity and heads for the hills leaving Heenan in a heap on the floor. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Edmonton STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TOUNRAMENT SECOND ROUND MATCHES Stan Hansen & Bad News Brown vs The British Bulldogs The question here is could the Bulldogs beat the Road Warriors and then the team of Hansen and Brown in back to back weeks. In the beginning it looked good as they were using speed and wrestling to keep Hansen and Brown off balance… but this can only last so long. Unfortunately, the ref got in the way of a Hansen Lariat and he went down. While the action continued, the Russians hit the ring and ripped Bad News Allen off the apron and rammed his head into the ring post busting him wide open. In a strange twist, both Stan Hansen and Dynamite Kid rushed over and started brawling with the Russians. The ref woke up very confused and had no other choice but to begin the 10 count. As he reached 10 and called for the bell, he raised the hand of Davey Boy Smith who was standing in the ring. While there was some confusion, the ring announcer declared that Hansen had been counted out. POST-MATCH INTERVIEWS: The British Bulldogs were upset at the way they won and said that they felt bad for Allen and Hansen who didn’t deserve to by attacked by the Russians but that they would give it their all no matter who they fought in the finals as they really want to become the first Stampede Tag champs. Hansen and Allen were fuming and all of their anger was directed at Koloff and Volkoff. They didn’t know how or where …. but they were going to get them out of Stampede Wrestling. The Russians were pumped up at what they had done as the reminded everyone that they warned Bad News Allen not to get in their way and now he has paid the ultimate price… with his own blood. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Edmonton STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TOUNRAMENT SECOND ROUND MATCHES Bret Hart & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart vs “Dr. Death” Steve Williams & Manny Fernandez An instant classic as this match had it all. Some wrestling from Hart and Williams and some brawling from Neidhart and Fernandez and everything in between. The finish leaves us with some unanswered questions as Dr. Death was trapped in the corner and just as he escaped, it looked like a fan tossed something in the direction of Manny. Manny was angry and jumped off the apron to yell at the fan. This caused Dr. Death to not have anyone to tag in and got pulled back to the Hart Foundation’s corner where he was hit with a powerslam from Neidhart. Fernandez saw the ref start to make the count and rushed in but was too late to make the save as the Hart Foundation got the win. POST-MATCH INTERVIEWS: The Hart Foundation promised there were no hard feelings towards the Bulldogs for throwing in the towel costing Bret his North American Title but that there were no friends once you step foot in the ring and that they would do anything to beat the Bulldogs this Monday night in Edmonton. Many Fernandez and Dr. Death promised that they were okay with each other and that they were disappointed in the fact that they lost the bout. Promos for Monday’s show in Edmonton NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Ric Flair vs JYD Basically, picture every bout Flair ever wrestled. We get a bunch of momentum changes before Flair plays it real dirty. JYD makes the comeback and actually hits the Thump but before the ref can make the three count, we see Heenan pull the ref out of the ring causing the DQ. Promos for Monday’s show in Edmonton As Stu Hart comes out to announce the full card for Edmonton, he calls out Bobby Heenan and Ric Flair. Heenan comes out in a neck brace from the earlier attack by the Road Warriors. Bobby Heenan: Finally, Stu Hart… finally… you show up. You saw the Road Warriors attack me and you were no where to be found. You better be out here to apologize and say you are firing those lunatics… Stu Hart: Just shut your mouth for once. I mean didn’t the Road Warriors teach you anything. I actually have something you will like. As much as it pains me to say it, Ric Flair is the North American Champion making him the #1 contender to the AWA World Title. Well, Ted Dibiase will be in Edmonton on Monday and it will be Ric Flair vs Ted Dibiase. As Heenan and Flair start to glow and thinking about the World Title, Hart makes one stipulation… due to Heenan’s actions tonight where he interfered in two matches…. if he does anything to the referee or Ted Dibiase on Monday…. Ric Flair will be stripped of the North American Title. As much as Heenan and Nature Boy protest, they are still excited by the news of the title shot. After Heenan and Flair leave, Stu proceeds to give the full card in Edmonton. SALES PAVILION: AUGUST 26, 1984 MX-1 vs Ben Bassarab Dr. Death vs Mr. Pogo with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie The Road Warriors vs Curt Hennig & Paul Orndorff with Bobby Heenan STAMPEDE TITLE MATCH: Sgt. Slaughter with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs Manny Fernandez Bad News Allen & Stan Hansen vs Nikita Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TOUNRAMENT FINALS: The British Bulldogs vs Bret Hart & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase vs Ric Flair Ed Whalen: Folks, if you are anywhere near Edmonton this Monday night, make sure to get a ticket for the show. It is going to be a wild one at the Sales Pavilion. Could Ric Flair be both the North American Champion and the AWA World Champion? Will the Bulldogs or the Hart Foundation be the first Stampede Tag champs and what is going to happen when the Road Warriors face Heenan’s Family and when The Russians face Hansen and Bad News Allen. You will just have to wait until Monday to find out but for now we are running out of time. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling.

You are right. Sorry about that.
