Great card for the 23rd! Hercules Ayala and Al Madril are so underated and should steal the show here but I'm really looking forward to seeing Dutch against Ricky Santana as well!

AWA has been so much better here than IRL but with the influx of talent that you've adding recently the AWA is a powerhouse in this game!

So much exciting stuff happening heading into Starrcade, the build up for Martel vs. Flair has been amazing all the way back to the Bash this summer! A really fun time to be part of the NWA!

World Class Championship Wrestling TV Recorded at the Sportatorium in Dallas, TX on 12/5 Airing on Friday 12/13 on WTVT throughout Texas And various outlets across the Southwest. Hosted by Bill Mercer and Mr. Wrestling II Ring Announcer/Interviewer: Marc Lowrance Mercer: "Hello and welcome once again to World Class Championship Wrestling and what a show we have in store for you this evening. Since my usual co-host has landed himself in a match this evening, I will have a special guest co-host….none other than Mr. Wrestling II." Wrestling II: "It's great to be here Bill and I'm excited to be here in Texas and I'm looking to put some gold around my waist real soon." Mercer: "That's correct you'll be competing in the tournament to crown the NWA North American Champion in Houston this weekend, which we will be talking about much more in this program tonight. We'll also be talking about the exciting NWA World Lightheavyweight Championship tournament coming up on December 22nd in Oklahoma City but right now let's go to the ring for action with DJ Peterson taking on Ted Allen." MATCH #1: DJ Peterson pinned Ted Allen after a flying shoulder block off the top rope (Roddy Piper comes to the ring and takes a mic) Roddy: "I know it's Christmas time and all…..but last week little Jimmy Garvin decided he wanted to come sit at the adult table at Starrcade…….Little Jimmy Garvin decided he wanted to walk right up and poke the bear! If Little Jimmy Garvin wanted my attention then let me tell ya son….You…have…got…it!" (Eric Embry comes to the ring and grabs another mic) Eric: "Mr. Piper, it would seem we got off on the wrong foot last week. I think you took a few of the things that were said the wrong way. Now Jimmy and Precious aren't here tonight and they don't know I'm here right now but I just want to tell you that there's really no sense in this match taking place at Starrcade." Roddy: "Ohhhh….I see what's happening here….you guys have had time to realize just how bad you screwed up, have ya? You guys have figured out that 'Hot Rod' ain't the guy to go messin' with." Eric: "Look, like I told you 'Gorgeous' Jimmy doesn't even know I'm out there but look there is nothing to be gained for you two to fight at Starrcade." Roddy (nodding in agreement): "Now THAT I sorta agree with…..I've been thinking about that over the course of the week and that's true so I'm going to suggest to Fritz Von Erich that we put that TV belt on the line that Garvin is so proud of…" Eric: "No no no no….that's just stupid, we aren't doing that. I'm saying there shouldn't even be a match at all…..I'm not suggesting we put Jimmy's title on the line." Roddy: "I see…I see…so you want to just make nice and call the whole thing off?" Eric: "Exactly, now you're getting it. Let's just shake hands and cancel the match and just move on down the road." Roddy: "Move on down the road, huh? You guys disrespected me last week and I don't take kindly to that….however I'm willing to make this interesting. If we have a match right here tonight on tv and you can last FIVE MINUTES in the ring with me without me beating you, we call the match off……BUT, if I do beat you…then Garvin's title is on the line, how about that?" Eric: "All I have to do is go five minutes without you beating me?? Hell, I could last five minutes with King Kong without him catching me to beat me….you're on!" Piper: (taking off his kilt) "No time like the present son, let's do it right now!" Embry grudgingly agrees and matchmaker Frank Dusek comes out and says he's good with it. MATCH #2: "Flamboyant" Eric Embry vs. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper Embry spends a couple of minutes getting in and out of the ring and staying away from Piper who couldn't get his hands on him….as the fans were getting frustrated…. Embry was starting to back away from the ring up the aisle when from out of nowhere, he was grabbed by Bad News Allen who tossed him into the ring….Embry turns around to yell at Bad News which allows Piper to school boy him from behind with a 1-2-3!! Piper will get a shot at Garvin's TV title at Starrcade!!! COMMERCIAL MATCH #3 Sir David Sammartino w/Lord Alfred Hayes pinned Mr. Olympia with his feet on the ropes (Marc Lowrance is joined by Fritz Von Erich) Marc: "Fritz, this has all come together very quickly but you have some of the top wrestlers in the world coming in to compete for the NWA North American Championship this week in the big tournament in Houston." Fritz: "If you are anywhere near Houston, Texas on December 14th and 15th you would be crazy not to be there to witness this tournament which is going to be huge. Then on the 22nd, we have some amazing talent competing to become the NWA World Lightheavyweight Champion." Marc: "We'll be running down the full card at the end of the show here tonight but right now lets' hear from a man who has to be a favorite in this tournament, the one and only Terry Funk!" (Terry Funk is seen getting out of a pick up truck at the 'Double Cross Ranch' in Amarillo) Funk: "You know I've had some hard fought battles this year with guys like Magnum TA and I held the NWA United States Championship for a long, long time. I've fought in the Mid-Atlantic, up in Canada and all points in between…..but when my brother Dory Funk Jr called me and told me that Fritz Von Erich was back in Texas and I had the opportunity to not only come back home…..but come back home and fight for a championship that would put me once step closer to my goal and that's once again becoming the NWA World Champion. I don't care if it's Ric Flair wearing that belt, Ricky Martel wearing that belt, or any other wrestler you can name…..1986 will be my year…and I will once again be the NWA World Champion and that road begins in Houston, Texas on December 14th when I win the NWA North American Championship no matter who I have to go through to do it!" Mercer: "Tune in next week fans when we will bring you full match from Thanksgiving Star Wars where Rick Martel defeated Harley Race to win the WCCW World Championship which will now be unified with the NWA World Championship when Ric Flair takes on Rick Martel at Starrcade!" COMMERCIAL MATCH #4: "Iceman" King Parsons pinned Sammy Hall after the "Butt Butt" Hype video for the Mighty Kokina shows highlights of Kokina destroying a variety of opponents in MACW and ends with a graphic saying "The Mighty Kokina debuts at WCCW Christmas Star Wars! MATCH #5 Main Event Grudge Match World Class Six Man Tag Team Championship The Fabulous Freebirds (Hayes/Gordy/Roberts) defeated The Moondogs (Spot/Rex) & Luscious Johnny Valiant when Buddy Roberts pinned Valiant after a swinging neckbreaker. After the match and the Freebirds left the ring, Johnny V staggered to his feet and started berating the Moondogs asking them why they let him get beat….Valiant gets carried away and slaps Spot in the face….Spot punches Valiant who staggers into Rex who picks him up and powerslams him! The Moondogs put the boots to him then turn and leave as the fans cheer!

Seems fair

I get deaths although there's a case to be made for if Brody isn't in Puerto Rico in '88 he doesn't get murdered but I still agree none the less. However retirements and things that depended on being in specific places at specific times seems like more of a stretch...but fair enough. So that being said...I guess I shot myself in the foot agreeing to trade for Shultz four monthes ago. So does this mean I have to count off "25 matches" then retire him?

I have a question. I mentioned to someone about trading Dr D David Shultz and they replied "No, he only has 25 matches or so left in his career" and this just one example of this sort of thing. Why do we stick to that sort of thing from "real life"? Wouldn't our alternate reality change these "real life" situations? In this instance, if Shultz isn't in WWF in our world, he doesn't slap John Stossel and doesn't have the career consequences that go with it. Just like the whole Saito/Patera going to prison situation. In our world they weren't in a territory together so in theory that scenario would have never happened. Not trying to spark a debate just trying to get the logic when in one aspect it's ok to push people WAY before they are ready, give people gimmicks five or six years before they did them in real life but we follow real life scenarios that would obviously change drastically based on how they are being used in our world. Again, not bringing this up to change anything or cause debate...just looking to understand it.

Great first outting, and great job jumping right into building for Starrcade!

WCCW would like to book Mil Mascaras for 12/25
