Shawn was first brought to replace Terry Taylor to run the finishing class during Taylor's recovery from surgery. But I assume now that they're splitting duties or something. But I think Shawn is sometimes at gorilla position for NXT live events.

I don't think it's clear exactly what's going on with Matt Hardy, other than the House Hardy Halloween special that they're filming. They were grooming Matt for a possible producer spot but I don't know if that's still holding. Tyson Kidd is still working as an agent as far as I know but I think he only works RAW. He's usually behind the top matches on RAW (aka Seth Rollins' matches)...I think that Dean Malenko & Finlay are assigned to the women's matches but I could be wrong. Adam Pearce is also working as a producer on Smackdown Live. For the trainers at the WWE PC, I think it's Matt Bloom, Steve Corino, Norman Smiley, Robbie Brookside, Scott Taylor and Sarah Stock (who took over when Sara Amato was promoted to the main roster as a producer - also working with the ladies). I'm pretty much out of the loop with refs although I thought that Drake Wuertz had been promoted to the main roster but he still seems to be the senior ref in NXT.

I'm a bit surprised that they're going right away with Rey Mysterio vs Shinsuke Nakamura but I'm so damn excited about it though. Also looking forward for the eventual Mysterio vs Andrade match!

First, Violent Giants (Shuji Ishikawa & SUWAMA) captured the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship by defeating James Raideen & Ryouji Sai to start their 2nd reign. Also, Ultimo Dragon defeated TAJIRI for the AJPW GAORA TV Title and finally, Black Tiger VII beat Shuji Kondo to win the AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship. -Oddly enough, BJPW were running the Fragment Tour event yesterday in the same building than AJPW, in a matinee event. Only 1 title changed hands as Tsutomi Oosugi beat Kazuki Hashimoto to win the BJW Junior Heavyweight Championship Some Japanese promotions might be looking to change some top faces; while DDT is looking to push down Konosuke Takeshita, Dragon Gate is looking to do the same with Masato Yoshino.

As you probably noticed, I already decided to scrap my NWA EoE diary because logistically, I just figured it was getting complicated to do everything that I wanted. So I had another idea in mind. Ever since I purchased TEW 2016, I don't count how many mods I've tried (and still currently play). I was a bit apprehensive at first, considering how much micromanagement it takes compared to EWR but after trying TEW 2005, I decided to jump on TEW 2016 and never regretted it. While I play many promotions and territories, I decided to start one where I'll just let everything play out by the AI. Let's just think about it as a parallel universe to what we're currently experiencing right now. So, I will sim it one day at a time and see what happens and see where everything will lead us. I'll use entries for each day like a mini dirt sheet to recap everything that happened inside the ring and behind the scenes. So, I'll obviously skip the first Monday because there's never anything happening in the first day other than the usual Hiroshi Tanahashi being the ace of NJPW! :p So, here we go!

Always great to see Garvin/Precious/Embry reunited although it doesn't seem that it will go as Embry would like. I'm also suspicious like JR about those Moscow Machines. And holy crap, Stan Hansen has arrived and everybody should run for cover!

Definitely echoing the sentiment about Hogan vs Dr. D. Very compelling TV right now. Huge upset win for The Great Muta and his early momentum is undeniable. Curt Hennig better be careful or his title reign could be short-lived!

Johnny V manages the Fabulous Blondes. It's a mistake on my part (I had just watched a Fabulous Ones match before writing that show so that's where the mixup came about). Thanks for pointing that out. :)

October 5th, 1986 Civic Center, Springfield, MA -Killer Khan (w/Gary Hart) beat Robert Fuller in 3:55 -Randy Rose beat Gama Singh in 16:01 -Ole Anderson beat Ivan Koloff in 7:45 in a match in which the winner would get a shot at the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Paul Orndorff again. Doesn't seem to be any ill will between Ole & Koloff... NWA World Heavyweight Championship: Big John Studd beat The Flame in 12:34 to retain -Tony Atlas & Kerry Von Erich are walking to the ring for their scheduled match when they're ambushed by Dory Funk Jr & Tatsutoshi Goto! Gary Hart isn't too far behind to lead the charge as he hands over a baseball bat to Goto and the trademark Funk branding iron to Dory Jr. Kevin Von Erich tries to run in but is ambushed by Killer Khan from behind! Then, Rocky Johnson tries to go help his friend Tony Atlas but Wendell Cooley tries to restrain the Soul Man. After a few moments of arguing....WENDELL COOLEY CLOCKS ROCKY JOHNSON! All hell breaks loose as Goto, Funk, Cooley & Khan are giving a beating to everyone in sight. Both Atlas and Kerry are bleeding profusely while Gary Hart is directing traffic. Gary Hart takes the house mic and says that J-TEX Corp International has arrived in Jim Crockett Promotions while officials and other wrestlers help Atlas & Kerry, who's being stretchered out... -Jimmy Snuka beat Austin Idol in 14:02 with the Superfly Splash -Sweet Brown Sugar beat Tatsutoshi Goto (w/Gary Hart) in 4:59 Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship: Paul Orndorff beat "Maniac" Mark Lewin in 43:51 to retain

Jim Crockett Promotions presents World Championship Wrestling Taped at WTBS Studios, Atlanta, GA Broadcasted weekend of October 4th, 1986 Quick and dirty results -The show starts with an impromptu appearance from Gary Hart who makes his way to the set. Gary Hart says that as soon as he heard the Von Erichs were going to Jim Crockett, he had to go as well. He said from day one, all he wanted was to rid wrestling of the Von Erichs; his battle has just shifted to another promotion. Gary Hart vows to get the job done by any means necessary. He also warns everyone who will want to try to help the Von Erichs that he won't feel sorry at all if they end up being casualties. Match #1 Bad News Brown beat Brickhouse Brown with the Ghetto Blaster after interference from Sweet Brown Sugar -Before the main event, James J. Dillon hypes the return of his newest protégé, "Doctor of Desire" Tom Prichard. Dillon says that Jim Crockett made the mistake of overlooking Prichard the first time he was around as he proved to be a tremendous TV Champion. While the TV Title is now around the waist of another of his protégés, Dillon assures that Prichard will get gold around his waist in no time. Prichard will return next weekend on Worldwide Wrestling as part of a 6-Men Tag Team Battlebowl Rules Match. MAIN EVENT NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP ELIMINATION TRIANGLE MATCH Bruiser Brody vs Big John Studd vs Sweet Brown Sugar A highly contested match during 30 minutes. Sweet Brown Sugar was the first to fall after interference from Brickhouse Brown, who struck Sugar with a chair, allowing Brody to pin Sugar. The 2nd fall saw Bruiser Brody almost getting the victory on Big John Studd but a timely distraction from James J. Dillon allowed Robert Fuller to use a rag soaked with chlorform to put Brody to sleep. A clueless Studd covered Brody to score the victory and win the championship! Dillon is ecstatic although neither Fuller or Studd knows exactly what Dillon was doing there (Fuller had been clocked by Brody a few moments before Dillon's interference). What is JJ Dillon trying to do here?

Jim Crockett Promotions presents Worldwide Wrestling Taped at WTBS Studios, Atlanta, GA Broadcasted weekend of October 4th, 1986 (After the opening credits, we join Tony Schiavone & David Crockett at the broadcast booth.) Tony Schiavone: Hello, everyone and welcome to Worldwide Wrestling. I’m Tony Schiavone and as usual, I’m joined by David Crockett. Folks,it’s a very exciting time here for Jim Crockett Promotions as a lot of change is here to come. Some new faces, some new announcements and to tell us all about it, joining me right now is the man, Jim Crockett himself. (Jim Crockett arrives at the booth and shakes hands with his brother David and Tony Schiavone.) Tony Schiavone: Alright, Jim, you’ve been very busy in the past 2 weeks, signing some new talents and making acquisitions and obviously, the landscape of the NWA has drastically changed during that time and I think you’ve got a few things to address. Jim Crockett: Yes, Tony. Obviously, a lot of things happened as Lutte Internationale folded due to financial issues, WWC in Porto Rico has gone AWOL and Fritz Von Erich closed up shop with World Class. Adding to that Bill Watts’ decision to have UWF breaking out on their own, this means that at this point, the NWA is no longer a viable entity. However, as soon as Bill Behrens made that decision, I spoke with him and I decided to buy the rights to use the NWA name for our championships. So while the organization doesn’t exist anymore, I felt it was important to honor its legacy so as of this moment, all of our championships will be branded with the NWA name. And this includes the titles that we now have control of, from the defunct promotions. Tony Schiavone: And speaking of this, the big question looming here is what’s to come with those championships. The Midnight Express have vacated the National Tag Team Championships, and so did the Road Warriors when World Class closed shop. But there’s a tricky part about the World Heavyweight Championship, isn’t it? Jim Crockett: Yes, Tony, and at this time, I need to ask the now former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Kerry Von Erich to join us at the booth. (Big ovation from the people in the studio as Kerry Von Erich and his brother Kevin, show up on set. Kerry still has in his possession the World Heavyweight Championship.) Jim Crockett: Now, I think we can make it official that two of our newest roster members are the Von Erich brothers, Kerry and Kevin. And I know that Kerry isn’t happy about relinquishing the World Heavyweight Championship but I can only give Kerry a chance to explain why it is that way. Kerry Von Erich: Well, Jim Crockett, I won’t lie. It deeply pains me to have that title taken away from me, especially given how hard I had waited for this moment. But because I was in negotiations with several territories before signing with Jim Crockett Promotions, I had no other alternative but to relinquish the championship. I’m a honourable man and I refused to hold this championship hostage for personal gain. But whoever ends up with it, it won’t take too long before I take it away from them. David Crockett: Now, Jim, I think that you have some announcements in that regard. Jim Crockett: Indeed, David. Obviously, we will need to crown new National Tag Team, World Tag Team and World Heavyweight Champions down the road. And while I haven’t decided yet how we will crown new tag team champions with both sets of title, I’m ready to tell you how we will crown a new World Heavyweight Champion. But first, there’s something I need to say about Kerry. Kerry, I think it’s important to mention to our viewers that before closing his territory, your father Fritz had very big plans for you in regards to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. As a matter of fact, before all of this happened, Fritz had informed the NWA that he was planning for Kerry to be defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against our current US Heavyweight Champion Ted Dibiase at Christmas Star Wars on Christmas Night. The contracts were signed and everything but obviously, plans have changed. But out of respect for your father, I will honor those plans he had in place for Christmas Star Wars. Instead, you will indeed wrestle Ted Dibiase on Christmas Night but it will take place at Starrcade and it will be for Ted Dibiase’s United States Heavyweight Championship, pending that he doesn’t lose the title before Christmas night. Kerry Von Erich: You know what, Mr. Crockett, I definitely appreciate your loyalty and keeping your word towards my father. All I got to say is that Ted Dibiase better get ready because at Starrcade, the US Heavyweight Championship goes right around my waist. And then, I’ll win the World Heavyweight Championship for the 2nd time! (Kerry shakes hands with Jim Crockett and leaves with Kevin.) Jim Crockett: Now, as for the World Heavyweight Championship. I believe it’s important that we don’t waste any time crowning a new champion. And to crown that champion, I wanted to do things a bit differently. I decided to look at some wrestlers’ body of work lately. And I thought that I should reward some wrestlers not only from this territory but also newcomers that will make an impact. That’s why this weekend on World Championship Wrestling, we will hold a Triangle Match to crown a new NWA World Heavyweight Champion. In this match, the new champion will truly have earned it because he will have to defeat both of his other challengers to win the match and the title. The first man I chose is a man feared around the entire world. A man that is respected everywhere he has been and I believe he is a great choice to be part of this match. That first man, our newest signee to Jim Crockett Promotions....BRUISER BRODY! Tony Schiavone: Holy smokes, what an announcement! And what a coup for you, Jim! Jim Crockett: Thank you. For the 2nd name, I also went with a recent arrival in the territory, who made a big impact right away. A man, who I believe will be a very suitable opponent for Bruiser Brody in this match. And that man is none other than Big John Studd! Tony Schiavone: Wow! What an incredible announcement here. And who would be the 3rd man in this one, Jim? Jim Crockett: For the 3rd participant in this match, I decided to reward someone who wouldn’t normally be considered in the title picture. Somewhat of an underdog. And I truly think that this man would be deserving of an opportunity. Just to see if he would be successful in his quest to become World Heavyweight Champion. And that man will be none other than Sweet Brown Sugar. David Crockett: That’s a rather surprising move here, Jim....but I think I like it. And so are all of our fans here. (One man who doesn’t seem to be happy about it is Brickhouse Brown, who storms the set, ready to confront Jim Crockett.) Brickhouse Brown: Are you kidding me, Crockett? You’re gonna hand over a title shot to Sweet Sugar Brown? This guy is not even in my league! I should be the one in this match, not that masked doofus. I can beat Bruiser Brody and I can beat Big John Studd! Jim Crockett; You’re not gonna get anything with that attitude, Mr. Brown. But since you wanna get your hands on Brown that bad, I’m gonna grant you a match with him. On the same card tomorrow than the NWA World Heavyweight Championship match. The only thing is that you’ll be facing....Bad News Brown! (Brickhouse Brown is irate and tries to plead with Jim Crockett but Crockett wants to hear none of it and he leaves with Brown in tow, trying to get some explanations.) David Crockett: Well, Tony, we’re in for an exciting episode of World Championship Wrestling tomorrow! 2 huge matches and we’re gonna crown a new World Heavyweight Champion! Tony Schiavone: One of those 3 men; Bruiser Brody, Big John Studd and Sweet Brown Sugar will earn the right to call themselves World Heavyweight Champion after tomorrow night. And we’re also gonna have Kerry Von Erich vs Ted Dibiase at Starrcade on Christmas night! But enough about the future, let’s talk about what we got in store this week on Worldwide. First, in our main event, we were scheduled to have a Street Fight between Bull Gantner and The Iron Sheik but after what went down last week on this program, Bull Gantner hasn’t been cleared to wrestle so a mystery opponent will take Gantner’s place against The Iron Sheik. Enough talking and let’s get to the action! Match #1 The Fabulous Blondes (w/ JOHNNY V) beat The Missing Link (subbing for Tracy Smothers) & Steve Armstrong after George Wells pinned Steve Armstrong. After the match, Johnny V makes his way to the booth with the Fabulous Blondes. National Heavyweight Champion Arthur W. Crews joins them as well. Tony Schiavone: So, it certainly is a surprise to see one Johnny V here. Johnny V, what are you doing in the corner of The Fabulous Blondes? Johnny V: It’s quite simple, Schiavone. You see, Rock Riddle had an incredible gift for gab but also that gift happened to get on the nerves of many people. And it turns out that he eventually got onto the nerves of the Fabulous Blondes here. It also got onto the nerves of Arthur W. Crews himself, the reigning National Heavyweight Champion. You see, Rock Riddle made a lot of empty promises to the Fabulous Blondes. He did a lot of promises to Arthur W. Crews. But none of them materialized. And when some of them did, he took all the credit for it. He claims that he’s the reason why Arthur W. Crews is the National Heavyweight Champion but I don’t see it that way. He did it by himself. He shocked the world and that’s all of his doing. I, Luscious Johnny Valiant, am here to make sure that Arthur W. Crews and The Fabulous Blondes get what’s rightfully due to them. That’s respect and being taken seriously. No one took those guys seriously when you had somebody like Rock Riddle behind them. I’m gonna make sure that Arthur W. Crews is the most respected champion in Jim Crockett Promotions. People have been disrespecting his title for way too long. It wasn’t a fluke and he proved it. And as for the Fabulous Blondes, I’m gonna make them the most feared tag team in this territory. One year from now, I will stand before you and we will have ALL the gold! You can bank on that! Arthur W. Crews: It’s simple, gentlemen. This is a new dawn for myself and the Fabulous Blondes and with Johnny V backing us, we’ll be more unstoppable than we’ve ever been before. If you think we were dominant, we’re not done yet. Get ready because you’re in for a wild ride! (The Blondes, Crews & Johnny V leave) David Crockett: This is quite the turn of events, Tony. Johnny V is now the manager for Arthur W. Crews and The Fabulous Blondes. And did I hear Crews imply that we could have someone else join them? Who could that be? Tony Schiavone: I don’t know but one thing’s for sure and that’s Johnny V is definitely a dangerous manager, no matter where he works and who he manages. When we come back, Tony Atlas is in action! ***commercial break*** Match #2 Tony Atlas fight Randy Rose to a double DQ after interference from both Rocky Johnson and Johnny Rich. After the match, the Southern Ramblers have control over Johnson and Atlas until Wendell Cooley runs in to make the save! Cooley checks on Johnson but definitely not on Atlas, which makes things a bit awkward... ***commercial break*** MAIN EVENT No DQ Match ??? vs the Iron Sheik The Iron Sheik shows up for his match, definitely confident that he won’t have an opponent. A banged up Bull Gantner shows up, saying that while he hasn’t been cleared to wrestle, he found a replacement that Sheik won’t be happy to see.....GREG GAGNE!!! Big ovation from the studio audience as Greg Gagne shows up and shakes hands with Gantner. The Iron Sheik is definitely upset about the whole thing as he didn’t expect Greg Gagne to show up! MAIN EVENT No DQ Match Greg Gagne (w/Bull Gantner) defeated The Iron Sheik with the Figure Four Leglock. The show ended with Greg Gagne and Bull Gantner celebrating together in the ring.

Very much will be looking forward to that blog of yours. Fantastic idea you got there. I can't wait for you to cover the Montreal territory, as I've always wondered how it has been perceived by American fans over the years.

October 3rd, 1986 Lincoln-Way High School, New Lenox, IL -Tiger Jeet Singh (w/JJ Dillon) beat "Maniac" Mark Lewin in 11:41 Falls Count Anywhere Match: Ken Timbs beat Corporal Kirschner after interference from Don "The Pride of" Kernodle -Mr. Wrestling II beat Norvell Austin in 19:10 with the Running Knee Lift -Before the next match, US Heavyweight Champion Ted Dibiase issues an open challenge to anyone in pro wrestling that wants to take the US Championship away from him. However, there is a catch; this will be their one and only shot at the title. Not only can't they challenge ever again for the US title if they lose but they can NEVER come back to work for Jim Crockett Promotions! Ted Dibiase then finds quite the unexpected opponent for this Open Challenge: AWA upstart SABU! NWA United States Heavyweight Championship "One or Done" Match: Ted Dibiase beat Sabu in 11:51 to retain -Tracey Smothers beat Gama Singh in 16:07 -Steve Armstrong beat Jimmy Snuka in 15:06 -Bad News Brown beat Austin Idol in 14:19 with the Ghetto Blaster -Big John Studd (w/Robert Fuller) beat Professor Brad Rheingans in 15:02

Lowkey here, Bob Orton is flying under the radar as a solid American champion for you. Consistent great showings in his title defenses!

Quite the dream team assembled by Dan Spivey to face the Sinister Syndicate. Some big gamechangers in that upper midcard in the AWA!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I'm gonna need a backup plan. :(

Your tag team division is absolutely stacked. Interesting pairing of Al Perez & Chris Candido but I think that having Sunshine as a valet will definitely be a boost for Candido, who had some serious momentum in Lutte before it folded.

JCP signs Greg Gagne

Of course, let's get back full throttle first. :)

Here's to a new chapter in this Project and to future new writers who will bring their own contributions to what we do! :)

Some really cool stuff on Prime Time. Interesting turn of events with Hogan & Savage having their matches changed but that could be for the better since Hogan can now get his hands on Flair. Interesting twist on the RL incident between Dynamite Kid/Jacques Rougeau by using the Horsemen (and much earlier) so you got some good stuff brewing on the undercard!
