Obviously a smart move to book Dino in the main event in Montreal with Hogan. Considering that IRL, Vince never booked a title match for Dino in Montreal because he was way more over than Hogan, I can definitely imagine the crowd coming unglued for this main event at the Forum!

***This week was a best of 1985 in Lutte Internationale, including the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match at Starrcade between Rick Martel and Ric Flair. Next week, the broadcast team announces that the Rougeau Brothers & Chris Benoit will team up to take on the team of the Vachons & Richard Charland in the main event. Plus, the new NWA Canadian International TV Champion Adrian Adonis will be in action and we will hear from his new manager, Paul E. Dangerously! January 4th, 1986 Ottawa, ON -Bruce Hart defeated the debuting Jerry Sags in 14:23. Paul E. Dangerously was on hand and watched the match from the entrance area. -Judy Martin beat Luna Vachon in 15:39 -Bobby Fulton beat the debuting Chris Candido in 11:23 -Gilles "The Fish" Poisson beat Satanico in 14:16 -Tommy Rogers beat the debuting Brian Knobbs in 16:04. Once again, Paul E. Dangerously was watching from the entrance area -Princess Victoria & Leilani Kai beat Susan Star & Velvet McIntyre in 13:15 -MS-1 beat The Botswana Beast (w/Eddy "The Brain" Creatchman) in 11:48 NWA World Heavyweight Championship: Rick Martel beat Big John Studd (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 15:17 to retain. After the match, Prince Alofa Fatu & The Great Samu ran in for a 3-on-1 attack orchestrated by Floyd Creatchman and Big John Studd. After Studd, Creatchman & the Samoans were chased off, Rick Martel takes the mic and challenges Samu & Fatu to a tag match tomorrow night in St-Côme-de-Linière, QC as he promised to kick their ass, even if he has to do it by himself! Who will step up as Martel's tag team partner?

Solid show overall. I think that all of our promotions have deep and strong tag team divisions. So many possibilities!

Oh man, I can't WAIT for Tenryu vs Flair!!!

You're all set!

You're good!

You're all set!

Yeah, it was automatic for me that when I drafted Adrian Adonis, I was to draft Paul E. and put him with Adrian from the start. Putting the TV title on Adonis is something that I literally had in mind since November 1984 but because of multiple circumstances, I never was able to pull the trigger. Once the possibility reemerged, that's why I switched my original plans from Larry Z to Adrian instead.

January 3rd, 1986 Waterdown, ON -The debuting Bobby Fulton beat Keith Hart in 12:29 -Gilles Poisson beat Satanico in 13:23 -The next match is announced to be for the vacant NWA Canadian International TV Championship and the two names have been randomly selected from a hat. The first name: Bruce Hart! The second name: a shocker.....ADRIAN ADONIS! And he's not coming alone as a man with a huge portable phone is coming with him! NWA Canadian International TV Championship: Adrian Adonis (w/Paul E. Dangerously) beat Bruce Hart in 15:25 to win the vacant title! - TITLE CHANGE!!! -Penny Mitchell beat Donna Day in 7:09 NWA World Women's Championship: The Fabulous Moolah beat Wendi Richter in 15:44 to retain -King Tonga (w/Frenchy Martin) beat MS-1 in 13:17 -Jos LeDuc beat Raymond Rougeau in 12:40 Quebec Heavyweight Championship: Armand Rougeau beat NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champion Mad Dog Vachon in 12:27 to retain

Seeing the birth of Cactus Jack as we know it!

Ray's interview posted by ragemaster is exactly what was written in Pat Laprade's book in regards to that incident, with additional details from Raymond.

Added January 7 to your dates!

A solid first show in 1986 for the AWA! The Varsity Club will be VERY dangerous!

All set

Lutte trades The Midnight Rockers to WWF for The Fantastics.

What a big main event for Three Kings Day. It's gonna be bloody as hell, I can feel it. And Gama Singh will be a force to be reckoned with in PR!

I just love how you really captured the format and essence of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling/World Championship Wrestling TV in such quick fashion. You found your groove very quickly and I'm thrilled to see where everything goes. You're gonna have a lot of fun with your tag team division in 1986. Hell, the entire NWA tag team division is LOADED with good tag teams.

Obviously, you can definitely expect to see Rick Martel come defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in Japan in 1986. Same for the Rougeaus at some point. And you cannot expect me NOT to send you King Tonga to wreak some havoc in the land of the Rising Sun

Judging by the way Big John Studd has been decimating the Von Erichs lately, perhaps Frank Valois might be reconsidering his decision to have Rick Martel's first NWA World Heavyweight Championship title defense against Big John Studd on January 4th!

I think you can really develop Sam Houston & Kendall Windham in a fun young tag team. Hope you'll take your time with them!

Looking forward to see what you're gonna do with that. DG has always intrigued me and I've seen only little stuff from them.

You're definitely gonna get some help in those categories every once in a while! It is GREAT to see you back!

You're good to go!
