No problem with the lab top issues. Take your time getting caught up. We look forward to reading whatever you write. As for the TV, great start. The Fiesta Garden was great. The back and forth between Street and Albie was great. Harley with the Andersons is an awesome pairing. Looks like we are on the verge of a great stable here. I could just picture that Muraco promo with the Surf Board. I can't wait to see a focus Magnificent One when he comes back Thu Brutherhood vs Poke Chop and the Grand Wizard was really well written. I keep saying this but I love how we have all jumped on the Movement band wagon. OMG vs Bundy.... something has to give. Fantastics-Andersons-Movement.... So hard to predict. Anyone could be on top when this is all said and done. Armstrongs-Funk.... Can't miss TV AND ON TO THE BOUTWELL SHOW Great No Contest with Brutherhood vs Cash and Smothers. So glad this angle is continuing, Pringle's annoying voice being the downfall of OMG... I could see that as he drive me crazy as a kid What a bad night for Ellering... he may need a new business. I bet he would love Animal and Hawk right about now. AND ON TO THE CLASH Must say I am going to miss the Fiesta Garden Like the Olympia as the champ but he will have his hands full with KKB A draw for Garvin vs the champ really increases his value. Nice work Abbie helping Funk means trouble for Brad but you never know... this is wrestling

OCTOBER 31, 1984 LIVE FROM THE DENVER AUDITORIUM & THE CORRAL IN CALGARY AIRED LIVE THROUGHOUT CANADA ON TSN AND THE U.S.A ON SPORTS CHANNEL AMERICA 8:00-11:00 PM Cowboy Bob Tallman: Welcome everybody to an historic night on professional wrestling. I am Cowboy Bob Tallman and my partner is Rocky Mountain Championship Wrestling President, The Lawman, Don Slatton. Tonight, Rocky Mountain Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling in conjunction with TSN and Sports Channel America, have joined together to put on the first wrestling show every to be shown live throughout all of the United States and Canada from two different arenas. The first 1 ½ of this show will be coming to you from the Denver Auditorium and then we will turn the show over to Ed Whalen and Jim Davies who will be coming to you live from the Corral in Calgary, Alberta, Canada Lawman Slatton: You said it Bob. This is the first show ever of its kind and we are in for a wild ride…. 5 title matches, a loser- leave town match, possible the last match for the British Bulldogs in Stampede Wrestling, 2 arenas, two countries and 7 matches in total. We have a lot of action but limited time so let's get to the ring. ROCKY MOUNTAIN TAG TEAM TITLE Tony Atlas & Mystery Partner vs The Iron Sheik & Nicolai Volkoff This is not your typical opening match as the talent is main event all the way but TSN and Sports Channel America want to hook the fans from the get go. As the Sheik and Volkoff head to the ring, the fans must put up with a lot of Anti-American sentiment from the Foreign Menaces. From their flag waving to the anthem singing, the crowd is fuming. Tony Atlas heads to the ring alone as the Cowboy and the Lawman wonder who the mystery partner is when all of a sudden the crowd explodes as the legendary Dory Funk Jr. heads to the ring. During the opening minutes, Cowboy Bob brings everyone up to speed in this rivalry from Atlas beating the Sheik at his Persian Club strength competition to the Foreign Menaces hitting Atlas’s normal partner, Sweet Brown Sugar, across the head to Don Slatton allowing Tony Atlas to choice a new partner for this title match because of the fact that Sugar is out as a direct result of the Sheik and Volkoff. As for the match, it is a wild and the fans are on the edge of their seats with each momentum change. As we head to the middle of the match, Lars Anderson comes down to ringside. He is a newcomer to Rocky Mountain Wrestling and Cowboy Bob hypes up the fact that Lars comes from the legendary Anderson family that includes Ole, Gene and young Arn. They are considered one of the best families ever in the sport. Lars comes to ringside and starts cheering on Atlas and Funk and the crowd is excited as it just seems like a little extra help couldn’t hurt. Unfortunately, at this point of the match, Dory is playing the face in peril role and it taking it pretty good. As we have all seen a thousand times, the face fights his way out and makes the hot tag. The problem was that as soon as Funk escaped the wrong corner, Lars jumped up on the apron and distracted the ref who did not see the tag. He forced Atlas back out of the ring which took some time during which the Menaces really took liberties with Funk. Funk ends up getting hit by the Russian flag pole and goes down hard. The ref turns to see Volkoff making the cover and before Atlas notices what is happening, the ref makes the three count. Cowboy Bob: Bawh God what have I just seen. The Iron Sheik and Nicolia Volkoff are the new Rocky Mountain Champs. What was Lars Anderson doing? This is just an awful start to this night! Let’s take a break. Johnny Rich vs Jos Leduc To be honest with everyone, this match might be the time to run to the kitchen and get that snack as it doesn’t quite belong on this card but Rocky Mountain is in the midst of a roster rebuild so this was the best we could do. Again, Cowboy gives a lot of background to these new audiences and tells everyone that Leduc is one of the members of Ernie Ladd’s Army while Johnny Rich seems to be the giant killer of late as he just keeps going after the big boys and keeps on getting the victories. This will be a tough one though as Leduc is not only big and powerful but his mental stability is also in question. After about 8 minutes of seeing Leduc pound on Rich, it looked to be a mismatch. Leduc catches Rich in the Bearhug but Rich refuses to submit. Leduc gets tired on waiting and throws Johnny away like a rag doll. Leduc continues the pounding until we see Johnny duck under a big right hand and hit the ropes and come off and grab Leduc by the head and hit a running bulldog for the surprise win. The crowd gives a little pop but they are still in shock the Iron Sheik and Volkoff are now the champs. ROCKY MOUNTAIN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH ERNIE LADD © vs Blackjack Mulligan Again, as the match is getting started, we hear the build up to this big feud. From the factions that have been built to protect both Ladd and Mulligan to the fact that Ernie Ladd personally beat Blackjacks 16 year old son, Kendall Windham just to upset Mulligan, this one is the biggest feud in Rocky Mountain Wrestling. We get a good 15 minutes of a brawl before we see the enforcer of Ladd’s Army, the nearly 600 pound monster, Grizzly Boone head to the ring. The problem was that Rufus Jones rushed in from behind and gave it his best to slow Boone down and it worked. Back in the ring, the tide has turned as Mulligan has the advantage with Ladd on his back. Mulligan splits the Big Cat’s legs and ignores Ladd’s pleas as he hits the low blow. The ref warns Mulligan but Mulligan doesn’t seem to care and whips Ladd into the ropes for a huge shoulder block. Mulligan then locks in the Iron Claw and we get the clean pinfall victory for Mulligan. Cowboy Bob: Well there is justice in the air tonight. Mulligan has gotten his long-awaited revenge and is now the Rocky Mountain Heavyweight Champion. What a great start to this event and after these messages we will be taking you to Ed Whalen and Jim Davies up in the Corral in Calgary. COMMERCIAL BREAK Ed Whalen: : Hi everybody and away we go with the second half of this wrestling spectacular. II am Ed Whalen coming to you from the Corral in downtown Calgary. Today we will be showing four great matches that when all said and done, will have a lasting impact on the future of Stampede Wrestling. 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 STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH (IF THE BULLDOGS LOSE, THEY WILL BE LEAVING STAMPEDE) The Hart Foundation vs The British Bulldogs Whalen hypes up this match by filling us all in on this sometimes off and sometimes on-again relationship between these two top teams in Stampede. While they are both fan favorites, Stu Hart has often played a role in this power struggle and he has always been on the side of the Hart Foundation. Recently, the Bulldogs put their careers on the line against the Assassins and came out on top but they also found themselves being wooed by other promotions who though they might become free agents and this is how we got here. The Bulldogs will stay if and only if they are the champs and if not… they will be headed elsewhere. The fans have often been split in this feud but tonight they are squarely behind the Dogs as they don’t want them to leave. The match starts with a handshake and remains technical but physical. The match saw Dynamite Kid climb to the top rope but get knocked off by accident as Neidhart fell back into the turnbuckle. From here on out, Kid seemed to be hobbled and let Davey Boy do the majority of the work. Unfortunately, Davey Boy couldn’t fight the Harts 2-1 and eventually had to tag in Kid one last time. Bret was at the top of his game and saw a wounded Kid as his prey. Eventually Bret locks in the Northern Lights Cloverleaf where Kid actually passes out from the pain as he just refused to submit. The ref called for the bell and there was an empty feeling in everyone’s stomach. Bret Hart actually cried as his hand was raised and all went to help Dynamite back to his feet. As the crowd shouted, Please Don’t Go, both Bret and the Anvil lead the crowd in a standing ovation for the Bulldogs! STAMPEDE HEAYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Sgt. Slaughter © with John Foley vs Tito Santana This one has been red hot for months now and really got amped up when Slaughter’s old manger, Sheik Adnan-Al Kassie, tried to hang Tito over the top rope. All of this built up anger comes out early here Tito wrestles from the top for the opening phase of the match. Foley does everything he could to help his #1 man and finally helps Sgt. Enough when he jumped up on the apron. Tito goes after Foley which gives Sarge time to recoup and catch Santana with a knee to the gut. Sarge works over Tito pretty good until the crowd helps Tito start the comeback. Foley sees this and is really concerned. He starts waving to the back and Butch Moffit rushes to the ring. The problem was that he was a little too late. Sarge tried a Cannon Lariat but Tito ducked under. When he Tito came off the ropes, he hit Slaughter with a Flying Burrito and Tito got the three count and became the new champ! NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH STAMPEDE HEAYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Paul Orndorff © vs Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan Not much to be said here that hasn’t been said before so let’s just get to the ending. With the ref down, Heenan is up on the apron with a chair in his hands. WHAM… Orndorff breaks free and Flair is hit once again with the chair shot by his own manager. Orndorff picks Flair up and connects with a Piledriver as the ref is gathering himself. Orndorff makes the cover and we get the three count. As Orndorff celebrates, Heenan goes to Flair and helps him to his feet. WHAM…. Flair shoves Heenan to the ground! The crowd loves this and Flair simply throws his hands up in the air and walks away. Orndorff has a smile on his face as he knows that Heenan-Flair is over. LOSER-LEAVE TOWN LIGHTS OUT MATCH Stan Hansen vs Bad News Allen What else can be said here. BRAWL-BRAWL-BRAWL! BLOOD-BLOOD-BLOOD! Bad News Allen gets the win after hitting the Ghetto Blaster and following it up with the Massive Leg Drop for the win! Ed Whalen: Well what a night it has been. A partnership has been formed between Rocky Mountain Championship Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling that is sure to up the ante for wrestling all over North America. We have seen 3 new champions crowned, Stan Hansen being forced to leave the area and the end of an era as we just witnessed the last match of the British Bulldogs in Stampede. What will happen next week… God only knows. Please make sure to join both Cowboy Bob Tallman and Rocky Mountain Wrestling and myself with Stampede Wrestling each and every week . If you are in the U.S.A, tune in to Sports Channel America and in Canada you can find both shows on TSN. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it.

One thing for sure is that the Florida fans are never sure what to expect which makes it really fun. I was wishing JYD had more then a day with the belt as I think he is someone to build around and get a huge feud going with someone. Also was surprised Gino exited the Gauntlet Match so quick but that just goes to show you how wild and crazy the feud between Gino and Savage is right now.

Loved the Warriors winning the title here as I think they are the cream of the crop.

And on the WrestleStorm! I could read Lawler, Idol, Dream and Dundee all day. These 4 just go round and round like a bunch of country kin folk. One day they are on the same side and the next they are brawling in the backyard. I love it. I love your tag division but still think the team of Adonis and Murdoch is the cream of the crop. The push of the Oates and Fleming is a good move as it makes your roster even deeper. The problem is that nobody will ever want to get out of their seats for popcorn as they will love each match on every card. I wish SD Jones did this when he was in the WWF in real life. Would have been awesome and he deserved better then just JTTS every week. Really fun read here. Curt, Larry, Tully and Landel.... this might be one of the few things that could keep Lawler from the Main Event. Awesome pairings. So glad Curt is with you

Great show to hype up Halloween Star Wars! I thought the interviews were priceless. The Bockwinkel interview was great as every word sounded just like him. Loved his answer to why he had given Hart a briefcase full of money. Also laughed out loud at Watts calling Hart a used car salesman. The Corny segment was perfect. Again, I could hear him saying each word! Great details in the ending of the HTM which drew a clear picture of what was happening. From the lowblow to the neckbreaker to grab of the tights. World Class is a wild place right now and your babyfaces are so feed up, they are acting like heels. Sam Houston coming from behind with a guitar shot and the Glamour Boys jumping the Highway Men before the match wouldn't work in all places like the WWF for example but in World Class it adds an element of fun. Nice job. The Reed/Movement segment was great. I love how you gave examples to how it is spreading throughout the entire AWA. I wonder how long Reed can go it alone or will he eventual join. This angle gives you a lot of options and go on and on! Nice job getting Reed to Texas. I would have like one more segment on Brody/Schultz and Studd going into Halloween as this is match I think I am most looking forward to. I know they have been suspended but maybe a video segment of the chaos they have caused could sell just a couple more tickets in Kemper Arena. AWESOME, AWESOME SHOW!

Nice way to get three angles heated up in a nice, compact and easy to read show!

And who was that mystery man? Looking forward to the next show.

Awesome set of house shows. The babyfaces seem to be red hot in the last 4 matches but you did a nice job of not giving too much away with non-title matches and DQ wins which allow you to continue the angles.

Gino Hernandez is just getting bigger and bigger and Mucho Man helos out. The House of Humperdink is a fun aspect of ACCW

Giving Schultz, Brody and Studd time to stew until Chamber of Horrors is going to mean chaos! I am enjoying the business men side of Gary Hart and he does have a dangerous stable. It also seems like he is willing to rent them out to people like Bock so all of World Class better have eyes in the back of their heads. Chris Adams is a nice start but the VonErichs might need more help. Sam Houston is a nice mid-card fan favorite for WCCW. He always seemed to bring some a lot of energy to the ring. WCCW is the only place where Adias could rise to this level and you have him down pat. Nice work Looking forward to the Halloween card

TBS/GEORGIA and CCW fit like a glove! Funk paying off Fuller and Golden to attack an Armstrong seems so right in the world of CCW The poor Lumberjacks trying to keep Bundy and OMG in the ring Like how quickly the Family is being born. Nice win for the Andersons Ronnie Garvin winning the belt seems like a nice fit to go with the new Georgia connection

I have loved the build up to Axe and son vs Tully. Landel was a great addition to this feud. Nice push for Real Deal but the champs are going to be tough! I think we are all buying into the Movement and it has become a fun league-wide angle Jumbo might have met his match if we get a Martel feud And the Oates get a little love... the master of the midcard continues Great realistic show from a Memphis point of view as we get our weekly heel turn with a new/old, friend/enemy turning on Lawler. Great fun!

POST-DRAFT CATCH-UP SHOW TV Contracts It appears that both Rocky Mountain Championship Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling have added national cable television contracts. So many of the people living near the border have already been seeing both shows through local syndication but now each show will be shown nationally. The fans in Canada can see both shows on TSN, the Canadian equivalent of ESPN while the fans in the United States will be able to see both shows on Sports Channel America. Meeting between Stu Hart & Blackjack Mulligan After Stu Hart and Blackjack Mulligan jointly secured these national tv shows, they also entered into an agreement to share talent and will also work together to produce major shows both on cable and on the up and coming idea of pay per view. The first major cable show will be on Halloween Night and will be seen on live tv. It will be a 3 hour spectacular with the first 90 minutes coming from the Denver Auditorium and the last 90 minutes coming from the Corral in Calgary. If all goes well, they will immediately begin working towards the first pay per view titles King of the Mountain on January 5th in the Saddledome. The Hart Dungeon In order to train wrestlers for both Rocky Mountain and Stampede, Stu Hart has agreed to train upcoming wrestlers in his “Dungeon.” It is said that his new stable of workers includes 1. a near 400 pound baby bull who is just running over people by the name of Leon White. 2. one tough wolverine who refuses to give an inch by the nake of Chris Benoit. 3. A physically 6’4, 280 pound bodybuilder who so far just tells Stu Hart that he is a Warrior. THE BRITISH BULLDOGS The British Bulldogs defeated the Assassins in their Contract vs Mask match which made them the number 1 contenders to the Stampede Tag Team Title last Monday in Calgary. When the masked came off of the Assassins, Assassin #1 turned out to be long time Stampede heel, Kurt Von Hess and Assassin #2 turned out to be Man Mountain Rex. Why they had joined forces is unknown as they high-tailed it out of the ring and the arena. Von Hess has not been seen since and Rex, as usually has remained mute on the situation. The problem came when Jim Davies went to interview the Bulldogs as we soon found out that when they had dared to put their contracts on the line, they were instantly pursued by another promotion who has remained nameless as of now. Both Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith were blown away by the offer and said they only way they could make that type of money was if they were the champions. So basically, it comes down to this… if the Bulldogs beat the Hart Foundation at the Halloween Spectacular, they will remain in Stampede but if they fail to win the titles, they are going to be leaving Stampede. The crowd immediately began to chant “Please don’t go!” STAN HANSEN VS BAD NEWS ALLEN Last we had seen, Bad News Allen had used a chain to knock out Stan Hansen and then he walked away from the ring with Hansen’s cowboy hat. The two were to meet this past week but the match never got started. With Hansen already in the ring, a delivery boy brought a box to the ring and presented it Hansen. When Hansen opened the box, it appeared to be Stan Hansen’s hat filled with some sort of feces. Hansen went absolutely wild and as Bad News Allen was coming to the ring with a big smile on the face. Allen never reached the ring, as Hansen rushed up the ramp and the brawl was on. It became one of the bloodiest scenes in Stampede Wrestling history and was declared a No Contest. We later found out that Stu Hart and Stampede Wrestling refuse to sanction another bout between the two but the hatred between them has gotten so hot that there is going to be a Loser-Leave Town Lights Out Match on the Halloween Spectacular ROCKY MOUNTAIN TAG TITLE: It is becoming obvious that Sweet Brown Sugar will not be healthy enough to defend the title with Tony Atlas. He was attacked by the Iron Sheik a few weeks ago with the Persian Club. The Sheik and Nicolai Volkoff have been reminding Rocky Mountain President, Don Slatten, that if they do not defend the belts in 30 days, that, by rule, they must be stripped of the belts. Since Sugar’s injuries were caused by the #1 contenders in a non-wrestling situation, the Lawman has agreed to allow Tony Atlas to find another partner. The Sheik and Volkoff have been complaining about this but the quited down when Slatton threatened to bring the police in and allow them to investigate the assault situation. We will find out who Tony Atlas finds as his new partner on Halloween night.

Awesome show.... never thought I would see SD in a different roll and I am loving it. I see some more Mid-Card feuds starting with Ricky Vaughn seeming a bit upset, DJ and Ferige with a few friends thrown in, ... fun. Landell vs Dibiase.... throw in Hennig and Tully and we got one hot angle. Lawler.... Dream... Dundee. Always fun as you never know what is going to happen next.
