I Broke Bruno's Neck

WWE: Steve Austin

Could go Tag Team.

When is the draft actually starting?

Why you say this?

Date: Friday, August 3rd Venue: KPTV 12, Portland Oregon Program: TV Taping Length: 90 Minutes Referees: Sandy Barr, Shag Thomas Don Coss: Welcome to a special 90 minute episode of Portland Championship Wrestling. We have several wrestlers making their debuts and a bunch of interviews that should up shed some light on things. First thing we want to address is the Tag Team match that ended the program last week with "Cowboy" Scott Casey coming in with some lumber to help save Marty Jannetty from the vicious beating he received from "Hangman" Jaggers & "Flamboyant" Eric Embry. Dutch has a special guest to shed some light onto the situation. Dutch Savage: Folks, we have Marty Jannetty here with us and of course we want to ask you on how you are feeling. Marty Jannetty: Well Mr. Savage, my neck is really sore, but I got lucky and didn't receive a broken neck due to the actions of Scott Casey. I don't know on what they were trying to prove by attacking me the way they did after the match, but if it wasn't for Scott, I would still be in a hospital bed. Dutch: It was a horrific attack to say the least and the team of Jaggers & Embry need to watch their step before someone watched it for them. Marty: I'm going to be out of action for the next week as I want to be 100% healthy when I step back into the ring. *****************************************COMMERICAL BREAK********************************************* Vignette: Football highlights are shown from the University Georgia Bulldogs. An interviewer is now talking to Georgia Bulldogs head coach, Vince Dooley. Dooley talks about how this man is a gentle giant of the field, but when he stepped on the field of battle, he changed. He went from a man he would want his daughter to marry, to a man he wouldn't want to be alone with in the same room right before a game. The camera now shows a large, blonde headed man from the back as the screen fades to black. MATCH 1: Referee, Shag Thomas Jesse Barr vs. Mike Jackson 10 minute time limit Barr and Jackson lock up and Barr takes advantage with a bunch of headlocks and takedowns. Barr works on the neck of Jackson as Jackson tries to free himself. Barr is in total control and is a bit rough as the match goes longer. Barr takes Jackson to a corner and instead of a clean break, he rakes the eyes of Jackson and starts to kick and stomp him when he falls to the mat. Jackson is weary and Barr whips Jackson to the far corner and Barr delivers a knee into the mid-section of Jackson. Barr then grabs Jackson's head and performs a running bulldog to the center of the ring and gets the 3 count. Winner in 4:18, Jesse Barr Interview in Dutch Savage and the group of Jaggers/Embry/Albano Savage: Well I hope you 3 are proud of yourselves with that post-match attack on that young kid last week. Jaggers: Actually Savage, we're NOT proud with ourselves as he was able to get out of a hospital bed and get back to training. Savage: If it wasn't for Scott Cas.... Jaggers: Scott Casey is the reason we didn't get our bonus from Captain Lou. Savage: What bonus? Embry: The bonus we get if we can bloody of injure someone during a match. We did pretty well for ourselves in the Tag Team tournament in bonus money with the carnage we caused. Savage: This is a sport. Albano: This is a BUSINESS, Savage. The object of our business is to eliminate the competition. That's what all good companies do. Jaggers: Scott Casey, you are on our radar and you are the competition. You do the math, if you are smart enough to. **********************************Commercial's and Promos for upcoming shows*************************** Don Coss: Here is the Cuban Assassin. So what do you have to say to the audience? Cuban Assassin: American fool, this Don Kernodle and Brad Rheingans are in our sights. Coss: There's only one of you. Assassin: That's correct, but not for long. (out comes Sifi Avi) This is my brother from Cuba. I know I can trust him. He hates Americans just as much as I do. Coss: Sifi Avi is Polynesian. Avi: I'm from Cuba. I defected to the great country of Cuba when I realized that America is a country of scum. Coss: That's enough from you two. Out to the next match. MATCH 2: Referee, Sandy Barr (Stars & Stripes) Don Kernodle & Brad Rheingans vs. Pat Rose & Johnny Rodz 20 minute time limit Kernodle & Rheingans come out to a great ovation as "Born In The USA" is blaring over the speakers. After some trash talking from Rodz & Rose, we are ready to start the match. Kernodle & Rose start out and the first 5 minutes is a feeling out process. Kernodle gains control when he goes behind Rose and hits a German suplex. We have some mat wrestling for the next minute or two, until a tag is made with Rheingans. Rheingans dazzles with a bunch of amateur moves and tags back out to the former Marine. It's all Stars & Stripes and on the outside, Johnny Rodz is starting to get a disgusted look on his face. As Kernodle and Rheingans continue their tagging in and out, Rodz jumps of the ring apron and starts to walk towards the back. Rose is unaware of this and is taking a good thrashing inside the ring. The end comes when Rheingans hits a Bridging cradle suplex for the 3 count. Winners in 14:09, Stars & Stripes ********************************************Promos for local and upcoming shows******************************************** MATCH 3: Referee, Shag Thomas "Killer" Tim Brooks vs. Steve Simpson 20 Minute Tine Limit: Brooks and Simpson hook up and Simpson surprises Brooks with his quickness and has Brooks off balance for the first 3 minutes. The crowd starts to get on Brooks and he starts to lose focus. Simpson then surprises Brooks again with a roll-up and gets a 2 count, before Brooks kicks out. Brooks rolls out of the ring and tries to gain his wits and then heads back inside before Thomas gets to 8. Brooks offers his hand in friendship and the crowd tells him no, but the young Simpson is too trusting and accepts when Brooks slaps him across the face so hard that the skinny Simpson falls to the canvas. Brooks then hits an elbow drop and starts to get control with his usual rule breaking type tactics to draw the boos of the audience. Brooks looks like he could care less of what the crowd thinks and starts to dominate the youngster with his experience. This goes on for a good 12 minutes, as Brooks appears to be trying to teach Simpson a lesson and to the crowd that he's the one in charge. The end comes after a vertical suplex and then Brooks hits his "Texas Compactor" across the neck of Simpson for the 3 count. Winner at 17:29, "Killer" Tim Brooks Dutch Savage: (The crowd starts to stir after seeing who's coming out) Coming back to Portland after a lengthy absence, the man they call "Maniac" Matt Borne. How are things for you Matt? Matt Borne: Things are doing great since I'm back in the Pacific Northwest. I missed the area and I received a call from "Hacksaw" Sawyer about coming back and I jumped at the chance. Savage: What are you plans, since coming back to the area? Borne: My plan is to help clean things up and get rid of the Jaggers, Embry's, the clown who just wrestled in "Killer" Brooks. I want the fans to enjoy the matches and I hope the they welcome me back, as I'm here to stay. I'm might look for a partner and go after those Tag Team Belts that Jaggers & Embry have. Savage: As someone who knows you and your family since you were 5 years old, it's great to see you back. ***********************************************Commercials*********************************************** MATCH 4: Referee, Sandy Barr "Cowboy" Scott Casey vs. The Spoiler 20 Minute Time Limit Casey jumps into the ring as a returning hero after saying Marty Jannetty from the heinous attack of last week. The Spoiler doesn't have his manager Captain Lou Albano with him at ringside. We know Albano is here, as he was part of an interview earlier in the evening. After instructions from Sandy Barr, the bell rings and here goes the action. Casey and The Spoiler lock-up, but the Spoiler backs away. The Spoiler appears to be trying to waste time for some reason and Casey seems anxious to get the match going. At the 4 minute mark, the action finally starts and the Spoiler starts back kicking Casey in the knee and Casey goes to the mat. The crowd starts to rise as Albano comes from the back and starts to yell at Casey. The Spoiler then catches Casey, who's preoccupied with Albano, with a kick into the chest this time and jumps on top of Casey and for some reason is just holding Casey to the canvas. The Crowd starts to stir again as The PNW Tag Team Champs hit the ring and starts to attack Casey. Referee Barr calls for the bell, but is thrown to the outside by the Spoiler as Jaggers has a chair that Albano slid under the ropes. Embry holds Casey face down as Jaggers smacks Casey on the back of his neck with the chair. The Spoiler appears to be on lookout duty as Jaggers, Embry and even Albano starts to maul Casey. Embry goes to his singlet and pulls out a pair of Brass Knuckles as Jaggers and Albano hold Casey and nails Casey right in the forehead with a right hand that sends Casey to the mat. Embry then jumps on top of Casey and starts to hammer away on Casey and the blood starts to flow. Albano is laughing at the situation and yelling encouragement as it's now Jaggers & The Spoiler on lookout duty. Help starts to arrive in Mike Jackson, Jonathan Boyd, but they get tossed out as fast as they come in. Embry grabs Casey by the hair and picks up the limp body of Casey and starts to set him up for a piledriver. Albano set the steel chair under Embry and He hoists Casey up and Albano grabs Casey's legs and they drive Casey's head & neck into the chair. Casey is shaking on the chair as Embry starts to stomp Casey from head to toe. More help arrives as The Tonga Kid and Rick McGraw come to ringside and start to fight with the duo of the Spoiler & Jaggers. It's a 2 on 2 fight, until a returning "Mean" Mike Miller and "Killer" Brooks come down to make to a 4 on 2 advantage on McGraw and Tonga. The beat down is going on and Casey is a bloody mess and McGraw and Tonga are now down on the mat. Brooks threw another chair in the ring and Jaggers grabs it and appears to take aim at Tonga and McGraw. He starts to smash the both of them across their backs as Brooks, Miller & Spoiler look on. The crowd starts to roar as Koko Ware, Brad Rheingans come down to help fight off Jaggers & company. This goes on for a minute or so, until the crowd explodes as "Hacksaw" Sawyer and "Maniac" Matt Borne hit the ring with 2X4's and start swinging wildly as the heels leave the ring. Jaggers and company stand together at ringside, giving each other high five's and yelling towards the ring and at the crowd, as Casey, Tonga & McGraw are getting checked on. Embry and Miller try to jump onto the ring apron, until Borne gets his piece of lumber and charges the ropes as Embry & Miller jump down and head to the back. Winner by DQ in 5:22, "Cowboy" Scott Casey. Dutch Savage to Don Coss: Something needs to be done and something needs to be done soon before they cripple someone for good. Don Coss: Another wild ending to the TV show. See ya' at the matches!

We wiil cancel all dates for the NWA Champion as of now. We are going to work with the AWA.

We are going to cancel the NWA Champions from coming in.

Actually, Portland as of August 3rd, will be joining forces with the AWA. We will use all AWA Champions going forward.

Sounds goo to me.

Tag Teams count as 2 selections?

American Promotions can draft Japanese talent also, correct?

PNW News: Short Update. ​There news of a TV Title being created and possibly starting up in Mid-Sept. The Title will be defended every week on TV in a 15 minute match. The title will automatically be on the line at house shows within the first 15 minutes. If the champ is pinned at the 15 minute mark, then the title will not change hands. August 31st, The Road Warriors are coming in for 1 night. ​The biggest news is that Don Owen will be running up into British Columbia and possibly, Alberta. There is also talk of Owen into Northern California.

I have absolutely no interest in a Woman's division.

Thanks for the info.

Realistically, Abby has never in a territory for longer then 4 months tops. Brody was a regular in WCCW & AWA for parts of a few months. Mascaras off the top of my head, never stopped anywhere in the States after 1984, for anything other then a shot here or there. Of course, Andre stopped touring in 84.

How or when does that occur?

I agree, ECW is by far, the 3rd promotion in the country by late 96/early 97.

Is there anyone in charge of any of the Mexican Promotions? If not, how would one get a wrestler booked? All good questions, that I am not sure how to handle yet. Rey and Psycoshis worked ECW, WAR and the Super J Cup. Things picked up in mid 1996, when WCW did the lucha invasion... any ideas. I think if no one picks up Mexico, let them in the draft.

Is there anyone in charge of any of the Mexican Promotions? If not, how would one get a wrestler booked?

When do these votes take place?

How does Title changes happen? Is there a vote?

Portland would like to bring them in on Sept 16th, 17th, 18th

Also, is there a place to book the NWA Tag Champs?

To me, this would leave Portland out in the cold. I'd rather have the freelancers as special attractions.

Is anyone here running into Vancouver/Alberta at all?
