Same here. Very nice concept!

Costly mistake by Iceman Parsons. Not sure Butch Reed will be that forgiving.

That leaves room for a couple of surprise entrants!

Well, Tommy Rich could've needed his BIG partner at the end of the show. Never count out Ole Anderson & Buzz Sawyer!

It's scary to think that Kabuki & Nagasaki could actually be more devious under Mr. Fuji than Tojo Yamamoto.

Dammit, why don't we have an infinite like for posts like the one above this one?

Same here. The business will be all better if a promotion like AEW succeeds but I'm not paying $50 tonight. I'll probably follow along on Twitter or something like that.

Big contrast of styles between the Bulldogs and the Road Warriors but this is what will make this match fun!

Steve O better not get too cocky against Denny Brown. Denny had a little taste of what could be with his recent Light Heavyweight title match against Dynamite Kid. But man, Chavo vs Tully is a definite showstealer in my book!

That's allegedly what could've caused Cody to take a shot at Bayley.

It's not being oversensitive as it is quite frankly unnecessary, given that in the grand scheme of things, while Bayley is getting some renewed momentum, she isn't moving the needle in terms of ratings. If he wanted to take a shot at someone, man or woman, take a shot at Rollins, Lesnar, Triple H, hell take a shot at Becky or Charlotte.

Honestly, Cody should be better than that. What purpose does it serve him to take a shot at Bayley like that?

Tell that to FOX executives in October when they get Smackdown Live when they want to present a more sports-oriented product for the show. But I agree 100% with you. Wrestling needs comedy to counterbalance all the serious stuff.

I...did not...see.....that....ending....coming.....AT ALL. Well played!

I'm sure the last guys Foley wanted to see as Piper's tag partners were the Vachons! Very smart choice from Hot Rod; the two only guys crazier than him!

After the match, Greg Valentine goes to the broadcast booth for an interview where he tells Bob Caudle and Tony Schiavone he wants the Briscos to say everything that they know so he can expose Eddie Graham as the fraud that he is. Valentine doesn't buy Eddie's excuse that someone is maneuvering behind his back and once it's all settled, he'll punch Eddie for his personal satisfaction. -In the main event, Konga the Barbarian (w/Sir Oliver Humperdink) beat Kevin Kelly in 16:06 **** May 25th, 1984 Fort Homer W.

Great segment and great promo by Dolph. I guess that KO isn't going to Saudi Arabia after all? I think it's the only logical explanation for having Dolph appear out of nowhere to wrestle Kofi.

Yeah, seems to be an aesthetic choice visually. Looks like I'm the only one here who actually likes that concept. I'd rather see midcard acts being used on TV than just standing in line at catering.

Damn, I guess I wanted them to win so bad than I thought it were wins

Those Islanders wins over the Freebirds are a big upset to me. Especially considering how big the Freebirds are in the territory. But that's again the beauty of the game! :)

Especially since PAC was already the champion when the match was announced for Double or Nothing. As for the so-called visa issue, if that's true, why not say it openly rather than speculating about PAC refusing to do a job for Page?

PAC vs Page is off Double or Nothing due to creative differences between PAC and AEW management. Apparently, PAC is extremely protective of his Dragon Gate titleholder status.

To a lesser degree, the Rougeaus were pretty much the Von Erichs of the territory , except you didn't have to deal with an extremely protective promoter who had to make his boys look good every time. Rougeaus vs Garvins was the stuff of legends in the territory, still one of the most talked about rivalries in Montreal, at the same level than Bravo vs Martel.

I love that you've been able to capture the spirit of Lutte Internationale and encapsulate it into the WWF mindset with AWA Worldwide. This certainly brought back some great childhood memories of the RL Road Warriors matches in Lutte. Who knows what the Rougeaus could've done hadn't they been attacked by the Wild Samoans prior to the main event!

May 20th, 1984 Orlando, FL -Don Kernodle & Jay Youngblood beat enhancement talent Travis Jervis & Bob Roop when Bob Roop abandoned Jervis early in the match after a miscue!
