No need to apologize. You guys have done an amazing job in such a short period of time. What a card! I hope you two continue to do some work together as this was awesome! Can't pick my favorite match... Love the Reed-Sawyer match with Iceman as the ref. Rich vs Harley delivered as expected. Hope Wildfire gets rematch. The title match was great! Dibiase will be an awesome champ as he can do it all! Brody-Hansen was perfect. Those two could fight every night and the fans would keep coming. The Fantastics get the win over the much bigger team but they got some real heart. Hope they continue to roll as they always make the fans happy. Again, AWESOME SHOW AND THANKS FOR JUMPING ON BOARD!

All-Star has Baby Doll, Ray Stevens on the market

I must say you are getting a lot out of your mid-card angles which makes for a very balanced show from top to botton. I love using Link with the Elizabeth angle. Bill White is getting pretty arrogant these days. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone bring him back down to earth soon. The Church of Boogie Woogie is AWESOME! Congrats to Rev. Cash. All of this and Gino is still the straw that stirs the drink. If Dusty can ever get rid of the House of Humperdink, Dream vs Gino could sell out arenas for months

That promo was spectacular! Rockald Johnson! Acceptable Korchenko and questioning T.A.'a name! Perfect. I do think you could get more out of Kamala. I thought he would squash Armand. Same with the Samoans losing to two jobbers. Albano must be fuming! Maybe he is in search of a new stable!

Must say that the format was really easy to read. Great first show. You have a lot of talent to write interviews and they were all spot on. I love how they all disrespected the new announcer. Really would have made Gordon Solie feel good. The Omni card is going to be awesome!

I had just did a quick search of who debuted in 1985 and Teddy Long's name game up. I can take him off and add the other names you guys found. Thanks.

Schultz makes everything more fun as nobody knows what is next. Love Landell here and he is going to cause havoc. Good luck Mr. Olympia and the rest of CCW. The heels in Alabama might just rule everything

I know Edger said it, but I could watch Bock and Kevin VE everyday!

Summer Blast is going to be a wild ride. Could Ratymus have met his match. Tio and Tapu were ready to help out as was Cocoa. I like Atlas at the interview desk here with his line about the gym equipment not hitting back! Anything could happen when they meet. All is right in the world of Memphis Wrestling when you have no idea what is going to happen next. With Lawler, Dundee, Dream, Hart, Fergie, Wells, HTM, and the the Kansas Jayhawks ... you have reached that point and it is very fun to read. I loved Steve O getting another mask. We have seen the old switch-a-roo before but it is usually between 2 people with masks. This time we add a mask! Very creative. Looking forward to Tito vs Funk as I have no idea what is going to happen! Great card this week!

Dothan is one great wrestling town. The 747 Splash might be the best move in the game! Landell and Hercules in the same place means bad news for the Babyfaces Mr. Olympia takes a big one but can he get the real prize! Schultz ruined my night. Was really looking forward to Bam Bam and the Bullet. This just adds another angle that I can't wait to see next week. I just love the twist and turns of CCW

Nice job here to kick things off. I like how you picked up right where Georgia left off. Nice use of the tag champs here! If Yoko and Haystacks go at it, somebody better reinforce that ring! Have fun and if you need anything, please feel free to ask

Love the hard work you are doing! This roster brings back so many memories as I grew up in Georgia Wrestling and I am so looking forward to where you take it. Rich vs Race... the Great Lakes Title on the line and a stepping stone to a World Title bout. We will see who jumps out on top here in a new promotion! Sawyer is great as he can do it all. Nice tag division with so many options. Enjoy and again, welcome to the game

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING JULY 6 1984 With so many questions left unanswered after the special event on Canada Day from the Saddledome, this show will be spent answering them. The relationship between Verne Gagne and Stu Hart: While the TV audience thinks these two are at odds as the High Flyers have caused havoc in the Calgary area of late, these two have become great friends. Verne saved Stu Hart, the patriarch of Stampede Wrestling who was on the verge of being out of the wrestling business due to his legal issues in Calgary as he was suspended from running any events in this city for 6 months due to the riot last December. The riot occurred when Bad News Allen announced to the crowd that he hoped Stomper Jr. died! Are there changes coming to the All-Star Promotion While the AWA brand has been thriving, there is an upstart promotion, Rocky Mountain Pro, that has been gaining some momentum in the west. Blackjack Mulligan and Don Slatton, the former promoter out of Abilene, are its main investors and while it started slow, it has been picking up more and more TV markets each week. First and foremost, Verne wants the AWA to be the most powerful wrestling organization in the world and doesn’t want anything to get in his way. Verne, Stu and Blackjack had a sit down where Verne offered Blackjack an offer he couldn’t resist. The deal essentially will unite Stu and Blackjack in All-Star Wrestling. Stu will work the Calgary region and control Stampede All-Star Wrestling and Mulligan and Slatton will run Rocky Mountain All-Star Wrestling. Verne, who is giving up control of Denver in this deal, explained that it will make travel easier on his stars and allow fans in St. Paul and other major cities in the Great Lakes region to see all their favorites on a more consistent basis. Buddy Landell: The Nature Boy had promised for the past 30 days that if he did not win a title within a month, he would leave All-Star Wrestling. In the Saddledome, he lost the finals of the Stampede Heavyweight Championship to Jim “the Anvil” Neidhart. Surprisingly to some, Landell proved to be a man of his word and has left the area. What was with the Sheiks (Blackwell & Patera) coming out twice to help Bobby Heenan after losing their shot at the AWA World Tag titles and being forced to leave All-Star Wrestling? We must go back awhile and remember that Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie bought Patera and Blackwell from Bobby Heenan and made him a very rich man. In fact, it was that deal that allowed Heenan to purchase the contracts of Bret Hart, Bad News Allen, Curt Hennig and Rick Rude. Heenan, when he made the exchange with Sheik Adnan, told Blackwell and Patera that he would love to help them out somewhere down the road as they all parted ways as friends. Once the Sheiks lost the loser-leave town tag match earlier in the evening, Heenan went to them and made them a very lucrative offer of $10,000 to help his stable out as he knew that both Stu Hart and Verne Gagne could do nothing to them as they were not employed by them any longer. Blackwell and Patera gladly accepted and this is the reason they rushed out to and attacked Randy Savage preventing him from winning the AWA North American title. They also tried later in the AWA World title match later in the evening but more on that later. Sgt. Slaughter turns on Jim Neidhart? Once it became known that these two tag team partners where pitted against each other in the Semi-Finals of the Stampede Heavyweight Championship tournament, it seemed obvious that one of them was likely to turn on the other. The wrestling style of both of these men is that of a brawler and whoever lost would most likely hold a grudge so once Slaughterwent down, many in the audience warned the Anvil not to shake Sarges hand. What was not expected was how much heat could come from this angle in just a short time! What is Sheik Adnan Al Kassie to do as Blackwell and Patera are out of All-Star Wrestling? Well Sheiks Anti-American nonsense changed to Anti-Canadian nonsense as he turned up in Calgary at the Corral and Stampede Wrestling. He quickly drew the ire of the ground as he introduced his new stable…. First out comes the Japanese Assassin, Mr. Pogo. With his face painted and his nun-chuck routine, he is one frightening guy who the Sheik promises will bring havoc to Stampede. As Sheik Adnan then calls out the next member of the stable and one of the most hated wrestlers of all time in Calgary comes out…. Gama Singh! The crowd is fuming now as Sheik promises to take out the entire Hart family. What happens next, will truly be etched in the memories of the audience for ever…. The third member of my new stable is….. Sheik Sgt. Slaughter! Slaughter comes out and is spitting mad and calling everyone from the fans to Canada to Jim Neidhart a bunch of no good maggots! Ed Whalin knows this group is going to be causing some serious problems! HOT STUFF INC? Last we saw, Baby Doll had walked out of the Saddledome as she was frustrated by the lack of comradery between Rick Rude and Eddie Gilbert. Rude and Gilbert were shoving each other during Gilbert’s finals match of the Young Lions Tournament against the Russian Nightmare. As Baby Doll walked out, Gilbert was crushed with the Russian Sickle and lost the match. Baby Doll had a post-match interview where she announces that she is in search of a real man as Rick Rude and Eddie Gilbert proved to be mothing more than little boys. She says she is going to be selling their old their contracts to other territories in the AWA. When asked what her plans were going forward she had the quickest answer… Baby Doll: I am the Perfect 10 and I always have a Wonderful Plan… and you will see it in just a few weeks. BRET HART’S ACTIONS We start with a quick video of the end of the main event from the Canada Day Spectacular where we see Ken Patera and Crusher Blackwell try to help Bad News Allen take the AWA title from Hulk Hogan until Bret Hart made the save and kept the Sheiks from getting to the ring. When asked why he made the save, Bret Hart explained that he had no idea that Heenan had the Sheiks help him defeat Randy Savage and retain the AWA North American title. When he went back and saw Patera and Blackwell playing with the money that Heenan had just paid them for there interference, Hart was fuming. He explained that it was like Heenan had no confidence that he could beat Savage on his own and that just mad him angry. He said he quickly understood why people said Heenan was such a bad guy and when he saw Heenan try to the do the same move in the World title match, he could not just sit back and do nothing. Bret goes on to say that he is sorry for turning his back on the fans and hopes they can forgive him. He also promises to make sure he is a try fighting champion and that both Stampede at Mid-American fans will see plenty of the AWA North American title. BOBBY HEENAN’S RESPONSE TO BRET HART Bobby Heenan: Brett Hart… You ungrateful little punk. I took you out of the frozen tundra and made you the AWA North American Champion. Do you think you would stand a chance of beating Randy Savage without my help… Not an Ice Cube’s Chance in Satan’s home town. I saved you… I saved your title and how to you repay me? You ruin the Family’s chance and Bad News Allen’s chance at winning the AWA World Title! Well I hope you are happy with yourself. Now does Bret Hart think he can hurt the family… maybe put us out pf business? Well if he thinks that, he really is a dumb as he looks. It took one phone call and the Heenan Family has regrouped. In fact, better then regrouped. We went from great to unstoppable. With my newest member of my organization, WE WILL TAKE THAT NORTH AMERICAN TITLE FROM BRET HART AND PUT HIM OUT OF WRESTLING FOR GOOD! Gene Okerlund: Your new family? Bobby Heenan: Ohhhh, did I forget to introduce you to the newest member of my stable…. Well let’s bring out the next AWA North American Champion and soon to be the next AWA World Champion… Gene Okerlund: Oh my…. It’s the Nature Boy WHOOOOOOOOO!

Nice transition to your new angles here. I knew JYD was in trouble as I heard No DQ! Studd watching Bock's back is going to make it tough of taking the title off of him. The name change here to Brutus Beekcake works well as you set it up nicely! I could just see the young teenager so excited for his match with Garvin and Beekcake that he runs to the back and quickly accepts the first partner he sees... WHAM... the Double Cross! A great show without a VonErich in it shows that this isn't Frtitz's World Class anymore! You have it a such a place that it works with them or without them

Welcome to the game! The fans of Ohio got a treat here as Rich and Sawyer battled it out for the title.

Wow... what a first show for CCC! Your interviews in this show were awesome...The arrival of Budy Landell was classic. Buddy and RPG are perfect together. The Freebirds being the Freebirds was great and Adrian Street was awesome. I like that the Soul Patrol are back together and this is going to be one hot angle in Alabama as they face Robley and the Bass Brothers The Freebirds are ready for action and they don't care if they blast a heel or a babyface. The Japanese team is in for a big fight while the Bullet better be careful against Gordy/ With that wild ending to the show, I wonder if Armstrong is going to be a friend to Street down the road or if they are going to go at it. The Exotic one wanted to help but when Armstrong didn't accept it, it leaves you with so many options!

With open spots, All-Star picks up Rick Link, Rick McGraw and Ted Oates

Such a well balanced card here in Biloxi. I really enjoy how your heels always act the part! I agree with the idea that Buckley with the Bass brothers is a natural fit. Your creativity never ceases to amaze... all of the stipulations keep the fans interested every match. From the match to be the special ref, to the loser leave Southeaster for a year to the Coal Miner's Glove match, I love it all. I love Mr. Olympia as the champ... he was so underrated outside of the South The bounty match was awesome as everyone there would really buy that OMG could really put someone out of business What a night for the Freebirds!

Great event... So many different types of match ups and finishes! Precious with the Purse takes Kerry out. The purse was the most lethal weapon in World Class history. Was surprised to see Adias win the big battle royal but World Class always had a soft spot for him Hercules vs Peterson would have been a great watch. Peterson could have been really big and nice to see him getting a title run here but I am sure Hercules will be back stronger then ever. Brad Armstrong vs Tiger Conway Jr. was also a nice match that really delivered. I knew Eddie Hogan would be up to no good. Once Hulk denied his claim that he was his brother, I knew we would see Eddie go heel and what a way to go heel in World Class... attack a VonErich. To me, Road Warriors vs MNE pits the two greatest tag teams in the game and I am glad that no team was completely dominant. Windham is a great choice for the Central States champ as is Bockwinkel for the World Class Champ!

Between seeing a diminished Ricky Steamboat and seeing Gino lay down to Konga.... I am unsure which angle has my attention more! In the long run, I am sure it is Gino as he is wonderful at pulling the strings that run ACCW As for the July 6-8 shows.... Gino continues to amaze as he just demands a steel cage match and gets it and then he sacrifices Mosca Jr. King Tonga is going to be a MONSTER here in ACCW. Was surprised to see the guest ref, Eddie Graham, loose focus and allow the Russians to get the win! I am sure he will have some stern words for the Reds after he sees the video tape.

I have said it before... I love your tag team division. The Harts vs the Starr's just seems like a perfect feud and then Spoiler and Texas Red going wild in the Title match. Even though this was a DQ, the Rock n Roll Express must feel lucky to get out of their with their belts and their lives

The bounty match and the Loser of the Fall Leaves Town match would be etched in the minds of the in the Southeast for a long time

Barry Windham needs to a title shot after this week!

All-Star wrestling adds Ric McCord and releases Buck Robley
