Huge acquisition for JJ Dillon with King Kong Bundy. I say that JJ proved to be very shrewd!

Yeah, originally, that wasn't the plan as I first intended to put them on opposite sides, perhaps in a TV title match. But then I thought that it could make for an interesting pairing between Borne & Hotstuff so I changed my plans a bit

I had seen a little bit of their feud when Myzteziz was Mistico and prior to his WWE Sin Cara run. I won't lie that I've become quite fond of Averno as a rudo over the years. I can't quite put my finger on why, I guess just his general body of work overall. Chessman acts as Averno's second in this one while Myzteziz's brother, Argenis does the same for him. Overall, I really like the match as it has a nice flow with it - although I seem to stumble upon matches where masks are trying to get ripped off lately. In any event, my only complaint about this one would be that Argenis looks so weak, constantly whining about Chessman interfering rather than just neutralizing him at the very end of the match. Other than that, fun match to watch.

Well, that's what I wanted first and foremost; get people talking when they first appear on MACW TV. Obviously, I don't know what spaldoni has planned for Ole Anderson but I thought it was the best way to go here.

April 6th, 1986 Medicine Hat, AB NWA National Heavyweight Championship: Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy beat Lord Humongous (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 13:37 to retain -NWA Canadian International TV Champion "Maniac" Matt Borne & "Hotstuff" Eddie Gilbert beat The Creatchman Family (Prince Alofa Fatu & The Great Samu) in 23:12 when Borne pinned Fatu. Floyd Creatchman came to the ring with Fatu but then, Paul E Dangerously walked out and asked Floyd Creatchman to follow him backstage. Floyd wasn't seen for the remainder of the match... -MS-1 beat NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champion Mad Dog Vachon in 13:45 -Keith Hart beat Killer Khan (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 12:41 6-Men Tag Match: In a surprising turn of events, Jos LeDuc, Owen Hart & Ole Anderson beat Ted Dibiase, Rick Rude & King Kong Bundy by DQ in 12:37 after Dibiase struck Ole Anderson with a chair! -NWA World Light Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit & "Nightmare" Danny Davis beat King Tonga & Richard Charland in 29:58 after Benoit pinned Charland with a Flying Headbutt -Dick Murdoch beat "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal in 5:39 NWA World Heavyweight Championship: Rick Martel beat Abdullah the Butcher (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 40:39 in another bloody brawl to retain

Here we go. The game just drastically changed.

Well, at least, they're in. All of those people have made an important contribution to pro wrestling. I'm really satisfied with this year's Legacy wing.

NWA Lutte Internationale/International Wrestling TV LIVE April 5th, 1986 Tobermory, ON Quick and dirty results: -Guy Hauray and Édouard Carpentier welcome the audience to the show. They inform us that before the show went on the air, The Creatchman Family attacked Keith Hart in the parking lot and he's unable to wrestle so Bruce Hart will either have to go it alone or find himself a partner in record time since their match will open the broadcast. They also talk about Matt Borne winning the Canadian International TV Championship from Adrian Adonis last Sunday at the Montreal Forum. Paul E Dangerously crashes the broadcast booth and says he hasn't seen or heard Adrian since then and all he knows from his sources that Adonis is "heavily emotionally distraught" and he has no idea what he's gonna do next. He hopes he can find him before he does something stupid. Paul E also informs the broadcast booth that because of their incompetence, he fired the Nasty Boys on the spot and they won't be seen again. He'll try to fix the damage -In the opening match, Bruce Hart shows up alone to face The Great Samu & Prince Alofa Fatu, w/Floyd Creatchman - the two men who attacked Keith Hart in the parking lot. Bruce fights alone for a while when all of a sudden, Adrian Adonis, shows up. However, he's a sight to behold: he comes out with eye shadows, makeup, the whole shebang....even the flower hat! Adonis stands in Bruce's corner and everyone in the arena is stunned by what they're seeing. Paul E. - who was still at the broadcast booth - approaches the ring area, trying to plead with Adonis. Adonis got the tag and cleaned house. Adonis & Bruce Hart score the win over The Creatchman Family as Adonis clocked Floyd Creatchman with a right hand, to follow up with Good Night Irene on Samu at 16:22 -In the second match, a new masked tag team simply known as The Swarm square off against the makeshift duo of "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal & "Nightmare" Danny Davis. The booth mentions the great match Regal and Davis had in Edmonton last night and how Regal earned Davis' respect in the process. Nonetheless, the frequent switches behind the referee's back between Swarm #1 & Swarm #2 allowed them to secure the win in 17:46. Guy & Édouard are wondering how long it will take for The Swarm to climb in the tag team ranks with tactics like the ones they used! -Bobby Fulton beat MS-1 in 13:39. Once again, Satanico showed up with the clippers to shave MS-1 again but this time, MS-1 avoided the same fate than last night! -To answer Gilles "The Fish" Poisson's open challenge from 2 weeks ago, Lutte saw none other than WWC's Invader 1 show up in Tobermory to confront The Fish. Invader 1 scored the victory in 12:54 -In an NWA Showcase, Assassin #1 from MACW defeated WCCW's Killer Tim Brooks in 13:02 -In a stunning upset, "Blonde Bombshell" Chris Candido defeated Raymond Rougeau after throwing powder in Rougeau's face in 13:12. Visibly, Candido is growing more and more cocky and confident since being associated with Percy Pringle and it seems that Pringle had left a parting gift to use to his new protégé! NWA Canadian International Heavyweight Champion Jacques Rougeau came in to make the save and chase Candido away. Jacques says that on next week's show in Sarnia, he wants to defend his title against anyone from World Class. And he hopes that it's gonna be someone from The Pringle Dynasty but he'll be ready for anyone. -Backstage, we see Floyd Creatchman being tended to, as he's still trying to recover from Adonis' right hand. Paul E bursts in and apologizes to Floyd for what Adonis did. Floyd says he wants to sue Adonis for what he did to him. Paul E says he doesn't blame Floyd and he can make it happen. Paul E takes a piece of paper from his back pocket and says that his dad can represent him against Adonis. All he has to do is sign. Still groggy, Floyd signs the paper and Paul E says he'll keep in touch with him... -In the main event, NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champions The Vachons beat The Creatchman Family (Botswana Beast & Lord Humongous) in 16:52 to retain. À LA SEMAINE PROCHAINE SI DIEU LE VEUT!

Holy crap, I'm so pumped for Pillman/Scorpio/Pegasus vs Ogawa/Nogami/Kosugi. And I didn't even know who Kosugi was until 30 seconds ago!

Horrible news. Just horrible. RIP Johnny V.

Only a matter of time.

As far as I know, Detroit was a wrestling hotbed, period. The town was mostly run by The Sheik back then but I wouldn't be surprised if the Big 3 ran shows there as well.

I would attend any card with Jake Roberts and Roddy Piper headlining!

For laz, let's go with El Samurai vs Shinjiro Otani for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship (9/13/97, but taped 8/10/97) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6g1s4r

Dan Spivey is definitely moving into that ace position in the AWA. He's doing great right now!

April 4th, 1986 Edmonton, AB -Keith Hart beat King Tonga (w/Richard Charland) in 13:13 NWA Canadian International TV Championship: "Maniac" Matt Borne beat NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champion Butcher Vachon in 15:13 to retain 2 out of 3 Falls: "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal beat "Nightmare" Danny Davis 2 falls to 1 in 14:04 -"The Blonde Bombshell" Chris Candido beat Bruce Hart in 13:38 -Satanico beat MS-1 in 5:54. Postmatch, Satanico is able to cut a bit of MS-1's hair and luckily for MS-1, Pirata Morgan is able to pull him off the ring before he gets completely shaved bald! -"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert (w/Missy Hyatt) beat Tommy Rogers in 15:16 -Armand Rougeau beat Alexis Smirnoff in 12:55 NWA World Heavyweight Championship: Rick Martel beat Abdullah the Butcher (w/Floyd Creatchman) in a bloody brawl to retain

Nice to see Jeff Jarrett getting some good backup in Brad Armstrong against the Hollywood Blondes! He's gonna need it!

Very happy to see Chris Candido doing well in that tournament. Looks like being under the tutelage of Percy Pringle is doing wonders for him!

See, that's what I liked about Cade & Murdoch; the fact that despite their youth at the time, they were working such a good old school style. That made them stand out from the rest of the tag team division. It was also interesting to have Jeff Hardy play the Ricky Morton part in the match while it usually was Matt but Jeff did a really good job in this one. Also agreed that the Hardys run in 2007 was really fun to watch.

If I have only one regret since I have joined the Project, it's letting go of The Sheepherders. But I think that AWA is the perfect environment for them. I can see them steamroll the competition until they find the right contenders showing enough heart to defeat them.

A great way to open up your tour in Osaka. So much star power in the main event but nothing ever feels out of place with your cards. You're maximizing every opportunity you get with your tour guests.

My thought exactly when I saw "Brains Strowman" come out: Looks like Big Daddy Dudley was busy in Braun's neck of the woods back then.

No problem, just saw your request and I updated the thread.

Mil Mascaras is already booked in Lutte on April 20. But for the other dates, you're good.

Yeah, I'll jump back in this week.
