CCW sends Tim Horner and John Tatum to MACW for the Grapplers (Tony Anthony and Len Denton)

CCW has Honky Tonk Man (Wayne Ferris) on the trading block for the right offer.

CCW News & Rumors ​​Word is that Ron Fuller brought in Blackjack Mulligan and Scott Casey to have them do "The Machines" gimmick to capitalize on the popularity of Wrestlemania but someone in the WWF office caught wind of this and threatened legal action if they wrestled in CCW as the Machines so Fuller sent Mulligan out of the territory as part of a soon to be announced trade. The Grapplers (Len Denton and Tony Anthony) are on their way to the area, but word is that Tony Anthony will be wrestling without the mask as 'Dirty White Boy' Tony Anthony while Troy Graham will don the mask as Grappler 2 teaming with Denton. As reported previously in the newsletter, big man Fred Ottman is set to debut soon..it was originally thought that Ottman would debut under a mask as 'Giant Olympia' to feud with Mr. Olympia but it's now being reconsidered because of the abundance of masked wrestlers currently on the CCW roster. Fans are reacting well to the combination of Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels on recent house shows, it has been said that Ron Fuller is looking at putting a "Rock & Roll Express" type gimmick on them soon and running with them as a tag team. The Platinum Club group appears to be done for now with Regal/Tatum leaving for seperate territories, it's unclear if Idol will go on his own or a new stable will be formed. Bill Watts was said to be furious when he sent word to the booker at a recent CCW event that they wanted Mil Mascaras to drop the U.S. Jr title to Tom Prichard and Mil Mascaras replied "No Yob". Watts stripped him of the title and will put it up in a tournament...Prichard was livid as well and has asked Watts to be moved to either USWA or Mid South which appears to be happening soon. "Superstar" Bill Dundee will be stepping into Prichard's spot as the top junior heavyweight heel. It's also rumored that Watts booked Mascaras into a Southeastern title match with Hercules Hernandez who will likely be able to get Mascaras to "do the Yob" regardless. There has been some friction with Ron Fuller and Bill Watts recently when Watts put pressure on Fuller to make Porkchop Cash the CCW Champion, Fuller said that would make no sense at this time considering how Cash has been booked recently, but cooler heads have prevailed and Watts was pleased with Mr. Olympia as champion. Fuller also had a falling out recently with Wayne Ferris over some pay offs recently which resulted in HTM dropping the Alabama title sooner than planned to Wendell Cooley, Fuller is said to be looking to trade Honky Tonk Man to another territory as soon as possible for the right offer.

CCW TV Episode #6 Recorded on April 4th, 1985 at the WTVY Studios in Dothan, AL. in front of a live studio audience Airing on stations throughout the territory on April 13th, 1985 Hosted by Gordon Solie & Joe Pedicino Ring Announcer: Rhubarb Jones (Show opens with footage from last week of the Andersons spike piledriving the already injured "Bullet" Bob Armstrong on the studio floor and the ambulance taking him away…..We then go to the usual intro video and then to the studio with our hosts Gordon Solie and Joe Pedicino) Gordon: "Hello everyone and welcome once again to Continental Championship Wrestling, I'm Gordon Solie along with Joe Pedicino and we just witnessed once again the heinous attack on Bob Armstrong that took place here on television last week." Joe: "We did Gordon and that was just a sickening display from Ole and Jesse Anderson. "Bullet" Bob Armstrong is still under a Doctor's care and it's unclear when or even IF he'll be able to return to the ring." Gordon: "If you would like to send your 'get well' wishes to Bob Armstrong, you can do so by sending your get well cards to the studio at "Get Well Bullet" C/O WTVY 285 N Foster St Dothan Al 36303" Joe: "I know he'd love to hear from his fans. Something else that happened last week involving the Andersons also involved their new found friend 'Dirty' Dick Slater and as a result of that, our main event this week will be a UWF World Television title match with Billy Jack Haynes defending against Dick Slater." Gordon: "Also, we'll be seeing the CCW Tag Team Champions Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden in action this week taking on the Rock & Roll RPMs and a lot of other great action but right now let's go to our first bout." =================================================== MATCH #1- Alabama Champion The Honky Tonk Man w/Sir Oliver Humperdink defeated Shane Douglas after the 'Shake, Rattle, and Roll' neckbreaker As HTM and Humperdink was leaving the ring, Wendell Cooley came out with a guitar and took a wild swing….they managed to get out of the way and run as Cooley shattered the guitar across the ring post. Cooley went over to the desk and joined Gordon Solie. Cooley: "Mr. Solie….these guys wanna come out here and blindside somebody with a guitar?? Well two can play that game boys! I may not have connected with you today…but Monday night in Birmingham, we're going to have a 'Guitar on a Pole' match and I promise you, I'LL BE THE ONE playing the tune on YOU this time!!" (storms off) ==================================================== Solie: "Strong words from the 'Wildcat' Wendell Cooley…There's been some controversy this week over one of the championships and we were sent this tape by the UWF office which contains a couple of important announcements from UWF Rep. 'Cowboy' Bill Watts, let's watch it right now." (VTR- Bill Watts is standing in front of a UWF banner) Watts: "It's been brought to the attention of the Universal Wrestling Federation by several different wrestlers that the current U.S. Jr. Champion Mil Mascaras actually exceeds the weight limit of the Jr. Heavyweight division. UWF referees weighed Mr. Mascaras at a recent event and found that this is in fact the case that Mr. Mascaras does in fact exceed the weight limit for the championship that he holds. There for effective immediately Mil Mascaras is stripped of the U.S. Jr Championship and there will be a tournament held to crown a new champion this Friday night April 19th in Panama City, Florida. In the interest of fairness to Mr. Mascaras, he will be given a shot at the Southeastern Heavyweight Title held by Hercules Hernandez on Saturday night April 20th in Montgomery, Alabama. Also, while I'm speaking of championships, two first round matches for the UWF World Heavyweight Championship will take place on April 22nd in Birmingham, Alabama. The participants will be announced next week here on television. Last but not least, Austin Idol has opted to pay a hefty fine rather than serve out his 30 day suspension so he will return to action next week on television. Thank you to all the great Continental fans and I look forward to traveling to your area to meet you soon!" Solie: "Wow, a lot to take in from Mr. Bill Watts and while we process all that, let's take a look at this week's card for Monday night at the Boutwell Auditorium." ==================================================== Monday April 15, 1985 Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, AL Bell time- 7:30pm MAIN EVENT $10,000 Bounty Rematch Continental Heavyweight Title Mr. Olympia Vs.

Olympia: "That's right Charlie, and not just Kamala I have to watch my back at ALL TIMES because I never know who is waiting around the corner to try and take me out to collect that cash." Platt: "I can only imagine, but this Monday night in Birmingham you have a rematch with Kamala but this time not only is that bounty money at stake, but your title is on the line as well." Olympia: "The belt is on the line against one of the biggest, meanest men in wrestling today….and not only that I just found out that Austin Idol paid a $10,000 fine to not have to serve out his suspension….which makes you wonder does he want to shell out another $10,000 if someone takes me out….that might be something Tojo wants to find out before this match takes place….either way Mr. Olympia is coming with guns blazing and I'm going to walk out still the Continental Heavyweight Champion." ====================================================== (Back in the studio- Sir Oliver Humperdink along with the Super Destroyers and Hercules Hernandez join Gordon Solie) Solie: "Mr. Humperdink, this week the Super Destroyers get a rematch with the team who defeated them last week Blackjack Mulligan and Scott Casey." Hump: "Well sure they defeated them…we had no idea who we were facing….they were 'mystery opponents' so they were prepared for us but we weren't able to prepare for them…..this week however will be a different story….we're ready, we know their strengths and we know their weaknesses and we will exploit them and take them down!" Solie: "Fair enough…also the Southeastern Champion Hercules Hernandez has a rematch with Dutch Mantell for the title and this will be a 'bullwhip match' which I feel would have to favor the 'Dirty Dutchman'." Hump: "What the hell is a 'bullwhip match'?? I don't know…Herc doesn't know but I promise you this….it doesn't matter because this man is undefeatable and he will hold that Southeastern title for YEARS to come!" ======================================================== COMMERCIAL ======================================================== MATCH #3- CCW Tag Team Champions Robert Fuller/Jimmy Golden defeated The Rock & Roll RPMs (Mike Davis/Tommy Lane) when Fuller make Davis submit to the 'Fuller Leglock' (Fulller/Golden join Pedicino at the desk) Joe: "Guys, this week is going to be a big one….not only are the belts on the line but if you lose you also have to leave CCW!" Fuller: "You listen here and you listen good Pedicino….My cousin Jimmy Golden and I aren't going anywhere you understand! This is our chance to finally put an end to this Platinum Club…once and for all and that's exactly what we're going to do!" Golden: "It's the end of the line boys….if you think for one minute you two chumps have what it takes to run us out of OUR backyard that bleach must be going to your brains because it's never going to happen….we're going to whip your tails and send you packing!" ======================================================== (VTR- Footage is shown of the UWF World Tag Team champions The Perfect Alliance (Arn Anderson/Bobby Eaton) with a voiceover that says the champions will be in Birmingham on April 22nd to defend the titles against the winners of this week's CCW Tag Team Title match) ========================================================= COMMERCIAL- Jim Walter Homes ========================================================= MATCH #4- MAIN EVENT UWF World Television Title Billy Jack Haynes defeated "Dirty" Dick Slater by DQ when Ole/Jesse Anderson hit the ring and they tripled teamed Haynes until Brad Armstrong and the "Boogie Woogie Man" 'Handsome' Jimmy Valiant hit the ring to even the odds until the Andersons and Slater retreated…Joe Pedicino entered the ring with a mic Joe: "Guys, can we assume this is your partner for Monday night?" Valiant: "MERCY DADDY!! You don't have to assume nothin' baby, cause I'm gonna tell ya right now that the Boogie Man is going to be there live and in living color teaming with Bad Brad Armstrong and Big Billy Jack, and them Andersons and Dickie Slater are gonna pay some dues and sing the blues when we get down there Monday night baby!!!" Solie: "there you have it fans….you don't want to miss out on all the action coming to the Boutwell Auditorium….I'm Gordon Solie saying 'So long, from Dothan Alabama'!"

A lot of it is location as well. I have a lot guys on my roster who are main eventers in the Southeast but no matter how much I build them up in my territory it won't translate to a northern territory, which resembles real life.

Happy to see Mid Atlantic back in action....one of my favorite reads! Love the upset when Scorpio defeated Wrestling 2!

Great card for Florida giving them a taste of what Lutte is all about while bringing the fans some familiar faces.

Tag Festival will be fun to watch! I feel like that Savage/Race match had to be a great contest.

Thanks guys

Who is the Lord Humongous who is currently on the Free Agency list? Is it a young Sid?

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated!

Dusty and Reed will be a war!

Great job making things come together so quickly. Kernodle makes a great champion here.

Fun stuff...Tenyru is an excellent choice as champion.

Another great card...Funk and Nord was surely a wild one!

Joe: "It sure has, last week we found out we had a new Southeastern Champion in Hercules Hernandez…well last night in Columbus, Mississippi…we crowned not only NEW CCW Tag Team Champions in Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden, we also crowned a new Continental Heavyweight Champion when Mr. Olympia defeated Austin Idol!" Solie: "That's right the Platinum Club is in shambles but they are looking for revenge this Monday night in Birmingham at RAGE IN THE CAGE!" Joe: "No doubt about that, we'll be going over the full card for Monday night shortly but we also want to mention that the UWF World Television Champion Billy Jack Haynes will be here defending that title against top contender, Brad Armstrong." Solie: "All that and much more but right now….let's go to the former champs…The Platinum Club." (VTR- Johnny V, Austin Idol, John Tatum, and Steve Regal are sitting in a fancy hotel room looking enraged) Tatum: "This is the biggest conspiracy in the history of wrestling….the Fullers finally found a way to steal our belts and CCW let it happen…well listen here Ron Fuller…Robert Fuller….and that no good snake in the grass Jimmy Golden….Monday night in Birmingham when we get you in that cage…the belts may not be on the line but when we get through with you, you will be in no shape to ever defend them!" Johnny V: "Jerry Stubbs you jerk, I don't even know how you got a title shot! You just got here! Well listen here, Austin Idol is going to be busy getting in the cage with us to take out the Fullers and Jimmy Golden but we've got something special in mind for you!" Idol: "That's right Mister Olympia, I've taken $10,000 of my own money out of the bank and put it in this briefcase….and I will pay this money to any man that can take you out and take that stupid mask off your head! We're going to humiliate you….we're going to expose you….we're going to hurt you and we're going to run you out of this territory and in the process..I'm going to get my belt back!" (END VTR) Solie: "In that video, Idol and Valiant said they are offering a $10,000 bounty on the head of Mr. Olympia. We've just received word that Tojo Yammamoto has stepped up to answer the challenge and that Monday night he's already gotten it signed for the new CCW Champion Mr. Olympia to take on his man….KAMALA!" Joe: "Kamala is a beast and he's known all over the world, I wouldn't want to be in Mr. Olympia's shoes right now." Solie: "Nor would I, let's go to the ring for our first bout of the evening." ==================================================================== MATCH #1- The Nightmares (#1/#2) w/Woman defeated Billy Travis/Rick Gibson when Nightmare #1 pinned Travis after a flying headbutt from the top rope Afterwards: Woman and the Nightmares approach the desk to speak with Gordon Solie Woman: "Mr. Solie, every tag team in CCW is officially being put on notice that the Nightmares are here for the tag team titles and we'll stop at NOTHING to achieve our goals…..Monday night Scott and Steve Armstrong will find out what happens when you get in our way." ==================================================================== COMMERCIAL ==================================================================== (Gordon is joined by Brad Armstrong & Bob Armstrong whose is wearing a neckbrace) Solie: "Brad, later today you will be challenging Billy Jack Haynes for the UWF World Television Championship." Brad: "That's right Mr. Solie and I'm very excited to be doing that but right now my main focus is trying to talk my dad out of competing Monday night in this cage match….because his neck is still injured and he doesn't need to be getting in the ring in his current condition." Bob: "Listen son, You let ME worry about ME you hear me? Now Ole Anderson….you listen to me and you listen good! If you think for one minute that you and this bogus Anderson, Jesse Barr are going to take down the Armstrongs, you are sadly mistaken my friend! Neckbrace or no neckbrace I will step in that cage Monday night in Birmingham and I'll do whatever it takes to end you two once and for all! That's a promise from the Bullet to both you jerks!"

Hump: "That's right Pedicino, those cowards knew they couldn't beat my Super Destroyers so they headed back across the border to Mexico where they belong…never to be heard from again….it doesn't matter WHO they put against us this week, just like the Guerreros, we will beat them and humiliate them and they will leave town as well."
