The Golden Boys may yet become the true golden boys of the AWA if they can get past the Highwaymen. Oh and can't forget about the Vin Man. Yeah! The AWA is headed for a real international incident when El Canek collides with Giant Haystacks. Idol's making quite the case for his becoming National champion. Crusher & Duker go to a double c.o ahead of the big tag at WrestleRock. Looking forward to this one. Southern Justice vs The Fabulous Ones at BattenRock! Colon & Kamala can't wait for their match at WrestleRock and neither can I! The Superstar is ready to take down the king...if he even shows. Casey is gonna tear into Moretti come WrestleRock i just hope he doesn't get too carried away. Ox & crew do what they do best...smash goobers & scare the crap outta people. Go Rock n Roll!...that's it that's the post. Rugged Ron & the Maniac predictably ends with all their buddies getting involved. There may be too much rage for the cage to contain. Bruise Brothers pawn the Billionaire Tag Team Titles! LOL. Wahoo & Steamboat vs Bock & St Clair. Yeeeesss! The only problem is we didn't get winners. I'll never understand how you can write this 15 match supercards. Not gonna lie, kinda nervous my day booking GAB is competing against WrestleRock.

Olympia chokes out Rotton Ron & makes a believable argument for his behavior. I like the touch of the divided crowd. I'm kinda conflicted. I know Cooley is the face here but Budro is one of my favorite characters in the game. Looking forward to Bennett tearing Davis to pieces. Masked Superstar is in top form heading into GAB. Frankly from the little I've seen of him I'm not sure Kh is smart enough to be a mercenary. Still scared for Daniels though. And now we all have the image of Lanny Poffo in a moo moo in our heads. Thanks for that. It wouldn't be CCW if the show didn't end on a crazy brawl....and i wouldn't have it any other way.

Western States Wrestling Sports Arena Amarillo Texas Bell time 3pm "Black Bullet" Shaska Whatley w/Slick defeats Rufus "Freight Train" Jones. Slick pulled down the ropes as Jones was looking to bounce off for the Freight Train. While he barely beat the 10 count he quickly fell pray to a scoop slam followed by a Flying Willie. The Devil's Duo w/Slick defeat The Tribal Nation (Sunny War Cloud & Cocoa Samoa) When Sullivan ran down wielding the Golden Spike. As he was escorted out by security Slick took advantage of the distraction to pass Vines a slap jack which he cracked War Cloud with for the pin. Partners handcuffed to ringpost "The Flamboyant" Eric Embry defeats Steve Doll. Sommers untied the middle turnbuckle pad in the corner was cuffed too allowing Embry to ram Doll into it back first during a ddt attempt followed by a northern lights suplex. Radiance seemed to want to cut more of Doll's hair but Simpson grabbed a ringside chair and cleared the ring before anything could happen. Scott "Hog" Irwin defeats The Super Destroyer w/Slick after Slick inadvertently sprayed Bonacca in the Destroyer's eyes allow Hog to hit a bulldog for the win. "Wild" Bill Irwin & "Killer" Tim Brooks w/"General" Skandar Akbar brawled to a double c.o. They kept at it after the bell which ended with Brooks trying to clothesline Irwin against the post only for him to dodge and, while Brooks was tending his arm, Score a bicycle kick on Akbar! Non title WSW Tag Team Champions The Tribal Nation defeat Dungeon of Doom ("Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan & Abdullah the Butcher) by dq when the Moondogs ran out when the Youngbloods hit a double Tomahawk Chop on Sullivan. Sunny & Cocoa followed leading to a pier-sixer in which chairs,bones,the Golden Spike and a fork were all used leaving men bleeding on both sides. "The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff w/"General" Skandar Akbar defeats "Dirty" Dutch Mantell when Akbar distracted Alex Perez allowing Smirnoff to nail Dutch with the Russian chain. After the bell he tried to bury Dutch under the Soviet flag but the rest of the Wild Bunch came in and chased the heels off. WSW Heavyweight Championship match. Zaibatsu is barred from ringside. Winner challenges Magnum T.A for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at the Great American Bash. Jumbo Tsuruta(c) defeats "The Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell with a Tiger suplex from the second rope after a arsenal emptying 45 minute war.

Masked Superstar is a great challenger for the NWA World championship. Kinda low for Tommy Gilbert to rat Tommy Rich out to his mama. Still Peggy's baby boy & cousin Johnny are making good on it. The Stud Stable is going for the gold! They're easily one of my favorite heel teams in the game. Honestly since Mr Olympia has already been unmasked i don't really care about that part but him & Slater beating the tar out of each other over the Contental Heavyweight Championship has me VERY interested. Budro vs Wildcat! Winner is Southeastern champion loser is out of a job! Only in a southern wrasslin company will you see 2 pretty boys fighting to put the other in a dress! I don't know much about Danny Davis but I know he's gonna die at the Bash....and I'm cool with that. Killer Khan with Shiek Adnan Al Kassie! I'm very glad I'm not Terry Daniels. CCW is more than holding up it's end on the Great American Bash!

Western States Wrestling Episode 8 June 19 1986 From the KFDA-TV Studio in Amarillo Texas Airing live on WTBS Channel 17 at 9:35am A montage of classic and recent Western States action set to "Into the fire" by Dokken opens the show ending on a shot of WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta. We cut to Steve Stack standing in front of a joint WSW and NWA banner. Stack: Good morning and a happy Juneteenth to you ladies and gentlemen. We're one week from the earthshaking announcement from our commissioner Frank Duesk that despite our original plans Western States Wrestling has been invited to join our sister promotions in the National Wrestling Alliance to present the Great American Bash! WSW will present night 1 from the McNicholas Sports Arena, home of the Denver Nuggets. All 3 NWA World titles will be decided as the winner of the WSW Heavyweight Championship match between Jumbo Tsuruta and Johnny Mantell at the Sports Arena later today shall go on to challenge Magnum T.A. The months long controversy surrounding the NWA World Tag Team Titles will finally be settled in a one night round robin tournament between all relevant parties, Zaibatsu,The Funk brothers and the recognized champions Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams. And later in this broadcast we reveal who will challenge "Mr Electricity" Steve Regal for the NWA World Jr Heavyweight Championship. And that's not all as the two men battling for the WSW Heavyweight Championship have both been granted a tune up match meaning not only shall "the Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell be in action but for the first time ever the viewers at home shall witness the WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta in action! If you've never seen him compete your in for a real treat. All that plus our first semifinal match in the tournament to crown our first Television Champion as Chicky Starr fresh off a potentially career making victory over Dory Funk Jr in the first ever Double Victory match goes one-on-one with another member of the Funk family, Jimmy Jack Funk in our television main event. Now let's get this show started properly with our first match of the day. This ensites a big pop from the crowd which grows larger as "Rawhide" by Frankie Laine comes over the pa system. Match 1 "Dirty" Dutch Mantell defeats Kevin Tristan Marquez with the Tennessee Chainsaw (Scoop Slam Piledriver) Dutch heads to the interview area where the rest of the Wild Bunch is waiting. Stack: Impressive victory for Dutch Mantell. Gentlemen the world wants to know what caused you three to agree to come here and join young Kendall Windham in his battle against Devastation Inc? Bill: Well Steve Stack to answer that requires something of a history lesson. See last "Wild" Bill Irwin was in Texas it was in the original Wild Bunch alongside my friends Black Bart & Ron Bass. And the reason we came together was to do battle against the so-called Killers gang led by none other than one "Killer" Tim Brooks. *Boos* Yeah folks he was a rat back then too. First he thought he was the devil and hired those goons Sword & Vines, Yeah boys i know your back there come out and say something. But when they failed to get the job done he started shaking up with "Eeny Meny" Mike Miller & that bloated dandy Adrian Adonis pretending they was Hell's Angels. Well we whooped those jokers all over the Will Rodgers Complex and even the world famous Sportatorium and i thought i'd seen the last of Brooks. But then I hear about Western States Wrestling so I tune in and what do I see? Tim Brooks up to his old tricks! First he & that towelheaded twit Akbar cheat Kendall out of a win at Resurrection that's one thing but when Kendall does what any real man would do and square up and ask for a rematch Brooks goes and hides behind a Goddang commie! And then we he finds a friend to even the odds he gets cute and brings in the sing-sing- sing along brothers. All this had me madder than a rattlesnake with a toothache so when I got a phonecard from Kendall here didn't even have to think about it all i needed was a minute to explain to Hog here and ask him if he wanted in and just like always he said he had my back and here we are! *Big pop* Stack: Makes sense so far but Dutch where do you come in? Dutch: Let me tell y'all a story. Picture it, 19 year old Dutch Mantell out in Oil Tough Texas trying to figure out how to make his dream of becoming a professional wrestler come true then out of the blue comes the thing that will change his life, A letter from the president of the United States calling him to serve his country in place he ain't never heard of called Vietnam. So I go there as part of the 25th Infantry division and my new friends and I get to spend our days dodging potshots from a bunch of spineless godless commie bastards just like you Smirnoff! That's why when I ran into the Irwins out in Alabama and they told me about the call they just got from Kendall here u only had one question for'em, Room for one more? And that's why before Kendall can finish ya off at night 1 of the Great American Bash Smirnoff today at the Sports Arena I'm taking a piece of your ass for myself! The Wild Bunch leave the interview area to a massive round of applause. Stack: A fired up Wild Bunch ready to bring the fight to Devastation Inc. We'll be back with more Western States action after this commercial break. Commercial break-Steve Stack runs down the Western States live events for this coming week. Match 2 "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers defeats Horsetrigger Nicholas with a Brainbuster. Embry joined commentary talking about how the Glamor Boys are just jealous saying "comparing their looks to ours is like comparing your kids drawing to the Aurora Boialis. It's just not fair to them" he also said it was just a matter of time before they "rescued" the Tag Titles from the "filthy Indians and slobbering mongrols" fighting over them just as he would rescue the World Jr Heavyweight Championship from "Mr Elasticity" at night 1 of the Bash. Match 3 "The Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell defeats Hachi Amano with the floatover Russian leg sweep. Commercial break-Advertisement for the Great American Bash. Match 4 WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta w/Tojo Yamamoto defeats Nathan Warner. At the bell Jumbo sprints across the ring and damn near decapitated Warner with a Lariat then deadlifted him for a (possibly unnecessary) Tiger suplex for the win. As their leaving Tojo stops by the interview area and snatches the mic. Tojo: You see that Steve Stack? You see that Mantell-san? You see that Magnum T.A? That is the fate of all mentally retarded Americans who think they can stop Zaibatsu! At your Bash all the world titles will be ours then Zaibatsu will rule the NWA in the name of the Japanese empire. BANZAI! After reclaiming his mic Steve Stack runs down the card for the Sports Arena later today. "Black Bullet" Shaska Whatley w/Slick vs Rufus "Freight Train" Jones The Tribal Nation (Sunny War Cloud & Cocoa Samoa) vs The Devil's Duo w/Slick Partners handcuffed to the ringposts "The Flamboyant" Eric Embry w/"Pretty Boy" Doug Somers vs Steve Doll w/Steve Simpson Scott "Hog" Irwin vs Slick's hired gun "Wild" Bill Irwin vs "Killer" Tim Brooks w/"General" Skandar Akbar Non title WSW Tag Team Champions The Tribal Nation vs Dungeon of Doom ("Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan & Abdullah the Butcher) "Dirty" Dutch Mantell vs "The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff w/"General" Skandar Akbar WSW Heavyweight Championship match, Zaibatsu banned from ringside, winner challenges Magnum T.A for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at the Great American Bash Jumbo Tsuruta (c) vs "The Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell Main event television title tournament match Jimmy Jack Funk defeats Chicky Starr by reversing a inside cradle just as we were approaching the end of the television time limit!

Went back and realized I neglected the most important news outta the Pacific Coluseam, New PCW Tag Team Champions! Oh Corny's gonna be gloriously insufferable now that his men have the gold.

WSW House Shows 6-13-1986 Fair Park Coluseam Lubbock TX 6-14-1986 The Coluseam El Paso TX 6-15-1986 Civic Auditorium Albuquerque NM 6-16-1986 Denver Auditorium Denver CO 6-17-1986 Civic Center Tulsa OK 6-18-1986 The Myriad Oklahoma city OK U.S Steel defeats Jeff Sword w/Slick with the big splash. Rufus Jones came down early in the match and made a point of sticking as close to Slick as possible preventing any interference. Doug Vines w/Slick defeats Rufus "Freight Train" Jones. U.S Steel who stayed at ringside to keep an eye on Slick was lured into chasing him to the back allowing Sword to sneak back out and pass Vines a bike chain which he wrapped around his fist for the k.o punch and the win. Pvt Don Kernodle defeats "The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff w/"General" Skandar Akbar with a neckbreaker when Smirnoff was distracted when Kendall Windham ran out and damn near decapitated Akbar with a lariat! Smirnoff and Windham then began a brawl that security had to break up. Non title match WSW Tag Team Champions The Tribal Nation defeat Radiance when Mark countered a Embry piledriver attempt into a Jack knife pin. Radiance jumped the champions after the bell but were run off by the Glamor Boys swinging chairs! Abdullah the Butcher w/"Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan defeats Jimmy Jack Funk when Sullivan tripped Funk coming off the ropes allowing Abby to hit a two handed chokeslam followed by the Sudanese Meat Cleaver. Makahn Singh w/"General" Skandar Akbar defeats Scott "Hog" Irwin w/"Wild" Bill Irwin. Gamma Singh came out towards the end but was intercepted by Bill which freed up Akbar to distract Scott allowing Singh to hit a scoop powerslam and a jumping seated senton which in which he seemed to land on Irwin's face! Dory Funk Jr defeats Kendo Nagasaki w/Tojo Yamamoto by dq when Tojo slid Nagasaki his Kendo stick during a cloverleaf attempt which was promptly cracked off Funk's skull. Zaibatsu (WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta & Mr Pogo) w/Tojo Yamamoto defeat "The pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell & Terry Funk. While Bobby Pico was trying to break up Jumbo & Mantell who were brawling in the corner, Tojo snuck in the ring and struck Terry across the back with the Japanese flag as he had Pogo in position for the piledriver. As Jumbo & Mantell spilled to the floor Pico turned to see Pogo apply a nerve hold to which Funk passed out. Pogo & Tojo kept attacking Terry after the bell but thankfully the rest of the Funk men ran out and with Mantell's help ran off the heels to send the crowd home happy.

Kai's Killers (feel free to use that) kick us off with a win in a wild 8 women tag. Maybe one title match isn't out of the question. The Combs/Richter rematch is official. Pardue helps her former student earn another match cause she ain't done whooping that ass! Love it! Singh's temper costs her a chance to recapture the tv title as the reign of McIntyre continues. Don't worry about it, earning your PhD is probably more important than fantasy booking wrestling 30 years in the past anyway.

WWF All Star Wrestling Filmed at the Hamburg Field House in Hamburg PA Originally airing 6-14-1981 A montage of WWF action set to"Scheherazade" by Maynard Ferguson opens the show ending on a shot of WWF Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund celebrating amongst jubilant fans. We cut to Vince McMahon and Gorilla Monsoon. McMahon: Hello everyone and welcome to another exciting episode of WWF All Star Wrestling. We have a big show for you today I'll be interviewing the NEW Intercontinental Champion "The Magnificent" Don Muraco & of course his manager The Grand Wizard. Monsoon: And it all leads to our massive main event as the Brisco Brothers take on the Bushwackers with the winners going on to challenge the Moondogs for the WWF Tag Team Titles on the 20th. McMahon: All that and a number of new arrivalarrivals here in the World Wrestling Federation. Now I understand we had scheduled Hulk Hogan for our opening match but there seems to be something going on in Pure Class. We'll get some answers as it's time for our first match. We cut to the ring where Izzy Toft is warming up amidst some confusion as Freddie Blassie gets into the ring alone and gestures for Joe McHugh to hand him the microphone. Blassie: Mr Hogan has parted ways with Pure Class to chase a financial opportunity elsewhere. But fret not peons because i have acquired the services of a man who is going to take my organization to heights unseen! With that Blassie hands McHugh a card. McHugh: Ladies and gentlemen replacing Hulk Hogan...being accompanied by the Hollywood fashion plate "Classy" Freddie Blassie and representing Pure Class....Making his return to the World Wrestling Federation....Hailing from Tehran Iran....Weighing in at 117 kilograms....Here is the Iron Shiek! Thunderous boos! Match 1 The Iron Shiek w/"Classy" Freddie Blassie defeats Izz Toft with the Camel Clutch. Everything the Shiek did seemed to grate the audience from his posing throughout the match to his adjusting his (admittedly impressive) mustache before synching in the match winning clutch. After McHugh finished announcing him as the winner Shiek snatched the mic. Shiek: Mr Freddie Blazzie he call me and say Shiek you come join Pure Class and I see to it you make more money than Allah and become champion. All you need do is break the backs of some idiot Americans. And this only the beginning. All intelligent American wrestling fan they see Shieky put this nameless fool in the Camel Clutch i break his back and I make him humble. As I make all your heroes humble...The Superman Snuka...David Finally...Bruno Samaritan...Pedro Molasses and especially Bob Backslide. Iran Numbah Vhon...Pure Class Numbah Vhon...America? Patooey! Camera man! Camera man! Zoom in on the Shiek! Shiek does a few muscle man poses as Blassie cackles in the background. Match 2 David Sammartino w/Bruno Sammartino defeats Lennie Winthrop with a figure four as Bruno beams with pride. Commercial break-Vince McMahon runs down the WWF live events for this coming week. We return to Vince McMahon standing ringside. McMahon: Ladies and gentlemen there was a sizable shakeup in the World Wrestling Federation as last night in Springfield Mass we crowned a new Intercontinental Champion! Here he is alongside his manager The Grand Wizard "The Magnificent" Don Muraco! Muraco & Wizard walk out dressed to the nines to a torrent of boos. McMahon: Well Wizard you set a goal for your men and The Magnificent one deliverd. The Intercontinental Championship is yours. Wizard: Vince McMahon last night will go down as one of the most significant nights in the history of the World Wrestling Federation. The day that The Magnificent one rescued the Intercontinental Championship from that desiccated relic Pedro Morales and returning it to glory. This man will take the Intercontinental Championship to a level of prestige that will eclipse the WWF Heavyweight Championship and indeed even the NWA World championship. And it all begins on the 20th in Philadelphia. Tell'em champ! Muraco: Thank you Wizard. On the 20th of June in Philadelphia airing live on the Spectrum network i end the Morales's hopes of ever again putting his grubby paws on MY TITLE! Morales you need to understand that you and all the other previous holders of this Championship were nothing but placeholders,keeping this title safe and shined up for when I was ready to claim it. And now that time has arrived,the era of Magnificence is upon us and that it shall last FOREVER! HAHAHA Muraco & Wizard leave to boos even louder than when they arrived. Match 3 The British Bulldogs defeat Rich Madison & Elijah Cokes when Smith military pressed Kid and launched him into a diving headbutt on Cokes. Match 4 "The Canadian Freight Train" Jos Leduc defeats Hervey Rowe with a one handed backbreaker. Commercial break-Market specific ad. Vince runs down the card for the Philadelphia show on the 20th WWF Heavyweight Championship steel cage match.

In Philadelphia i cut lose your dead weight once and for all! Final commercial break-Advertisement for the upcoming event on the USA network on June 27th Main event The Brisco Brothers defeat The Bushwackers w/"Lord" Jonathan Boyd Jerry caught Butch with a inside cradle.

WWF requests to book Andre the Giant for June 20th please.

Things got crazy in Omaha with that 6 man elimination match. Big win for Captain Redneck as he puts down the Superstar. Jones may be letting his men's success go to his head. Big time main event victory for the Wild Samoans. Not a bad couple of days for the AWA.

The first round of the six-man tournament goes bout how i expected giving way to a very exciting semifinals. The masked man returns but tries to take Flair out this time! Who could it be?! Some primo title defenses in Raleigh. Kabuki finally takes the TV Title in Columbia meaning all Gary Hart's men are champions! That title vs title match is money anywhere. Always good to see Barry teaming with his dad. An eventful loop for MACW.

The Pacific Coluseam. Teaming officially for one match and Jarrett & Severn already have a tandem finish. Good sign. The Thunderbirds/Iron & Steel feud picks up steam. Badd Company can fly under my radar at times but showings like tonight make me sit up and pay attention. The American Ninja picks up a solid win. Windham wins what must have been a slugfest against the Polish Prince. Muta screws Gilbert out off the PCW Heavyweight Championship! Again! Ohhh Gilbert must be soooo pissed. To the Memorial Arena! "Mean" Mike reassert his position with a win over "The Lethal Weapon," Buisck scores another impressive victory. Oh poor Vic having to get in there with a pissed off Hansen. The strengthened Playboy Club wastes no time making the brits lives miserable. Mr Hollywood & The Big V get the duke over the Japanese Snowbirds. It seems the Outlaw had himself a gator problem. A rough night for the Snowbirds as Owen & Pillman fail to regain the Golden State tag titles. British Columbia sees two great nights of PCW action.

The thought of "Maniac" Matt & Sullivan teaming up makes me uneasy ad it should the entire GCW roster. Like Ole's chest pounding speech. Georgia and MACW are going to war! There's something inherently funny about Jimmy Hart running his mouth a mile a minute with that squeaky voice of his while Bundy & Studd stand there menacingly. The Freebirds vs DiBiase & Hanson? For titles? I'm there! Masked Superstar justifies his jumping ship by becoming the new NWA Georgia champion! I think you're onto something here.

Crockett announces a huge main event for next week and rewarded by Ole telling to take his job and shove it! Honestly seems like a very Ole move from what I've read about him. Wahoo,Steamboat & Youngblood have their eyes on just about all the gold in MACW. I like it. Bret scores back to back wins over the Assassains. Love JJ & crew taking credit for running everybody off. Nice win for the Soul Man. Solid promo by Akbar & co. Hart's men aren't satisfied with just the MACW tag titles. As they shouldn't be. Freebirds kinda get a gimme with a jobber on the opposing team but the rest of the tournament is stacked.

Hope Vin Man had a good seat as the Golden Boys showed off why he should probably stop messing with them. Colon puts down Goulet but a monster awaits at Wrestlerock. Gagne & Myers take advantage of Crusher's absence to reclaim the advantage in the rivalry with Rheneigans. I am shocked that the Cartel vs the Superflys couldn't reach a clean finish. Shocked i say! Paul Jones leads the Baron to victory in the battle of the claws with the help of a chairshot. Cabin Fever score a big psychological win with a pin on one of the champs. Sir Tony "Simply the best" St Clair dispatches Steve O on route to his date with destiny. I legitimately would buy a ticket for that main event alone. Soul man may have actually shut Idol up temporarily. Louisville sees another great night of wrestling.

Mega Man keeps the Brigade's momentum going with a win over Gary Hart's assassain Mr Hito. I've been low-key waiting for a proper feud between the Thunderbirds and Iron & Steel. Might it finally be here. Severn finally gives i and agrees to walk alone with double j. PCW finally has it's odd couple. If Miller can't shape up the Crazy Gang may be looking for a new (or old) leader. Great win for Simmons. Love how Finley turns down Rose's offer of the high life but agrees after Rose tells him he'll get to beat up more people. But not before getting Rose's true intentions out of him. The interaction between Rose & the Dog Pound got a chuckle out of me. Bubba gets another one over Burke but the real story is after the match. Interesting how the masked man helps Burke but doesn't seem interested in the rest of the army. A worthy followup to Seattle Showdown.

Western States Wrestling Sports Arena Amarillo Texas Bell time 3pm The Devil's Duo w/Slick defeat U.S Steel & Rufus "Freight Train" Jones when Slick seemed to try to sell Jones a watch allowing Sword to catch him in a schoolboy with a handful of overalls. Sunny War Cloud defeats "Wild Tiger" Kim Duk when Tojo hits Duk with the Japanese flag by mistake! Scott "Hog" Irwin defeats "Black Bullet" Shaska Whatley w/Slick by hitting Whatley with a bulldog while he was distracted by Rufus Jones chasing Slick around ringside. The Moondogs w/"Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan defeat the Fort Bragg Brotherhood when Spot tried to hit Kirchner with a bone Bobby Pico snatched it but while Pico was getting out of the ring Sullivan passed Spot the Golden Spike which found its way into Kirchner's skull. Jimmy Jack Funk defeats "The Great" Gamma Singh w/"General" Skandar Akbar after banging his and Akbar's heads together then hitting a piledriver. "Dirty" Dutch Mantell and "Killer" Tim Brooks w/"General" Skandar Akbar ends in a double DQ when they both grabbed chairs and started dueling with each other. Double Victory match Fall 1 Chicky Starr pins Dory Funk Jr with a backslide with his feet on the ropes. Fall 2 Dory Funk Jr pins Chicky Starr after reversing a inside cradle. Fall 3 Chicky Starr submits Dory Funk Jr when Starr produces a piece of ropes from his tights which he uses in a sleeperhold until Funk passes out. Winner: Chicky Starr Terry Funk & "The Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell defeat Zaibatsu (WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta & Mr Pogo) w/Tojo Yamamoto when Mantell pinned Pogo with the floatover Russian leg sweep! After the bell Mantell posed with the WSW Heavyweight Championship belt.

The Soul Man gets the crowd going with a lightning quick win then swears that the Universal Heartthrob that lightning doesn't strike twice. Looking forward to this one. Vin man better unnastan when the Highwaymen say no they mean no! It's gonna be all out WAAAAARRRRR between Kamala & Colon at Wrestlerock and I can't wait! Rock n Roll gets another w over Priceless with a little assist from the Bruise Brothers. Priceless is gonna want those Billionaires Tag Titles back. The Superstar is riding high heading into the Memphis streetfight against the King. The battle of the Billy Jacks is on for Wrestlerock. There can be only one! I gotta feeling Southern Justice just bit off more than they can chew. Wahoo gets ready to educate Bock. But I'm sure Bock has a few lessons in mind for Wahoo as well. Moretti shows how far his ruthless streak goes as he wraps the chain around Sunshine! Casey is gonna be seeing red when he gets back. Damn Henning & Adias are annoying. Go Rock n Roll! Cabin Fever remind everyone they know how to play dirty. Reinforce the ring before these animals get in there. I should have seen it coming. Jose kept coming around so eventually Haystacks puts him down! There's gonna be a international incident at Wrestlerock! Shockingly the Superflys vs the Maniac & the Crippler ends in chaos. They can't get in that cage fast enough. Steamboat evens the score against Sir Tony "Simply the best" Sinclair. Real chess game building here. The AWA is picking up steam heading into Wrestlerock.

Western States Wrestling Episode 7 June 12 1986 From the KFDA-TV Studio in Amarillo Texas Airing live at 9:35am on WTBS Channel 17 Instead of the usual opening montage we open on Commissioner Frank Dusek sitting behind a desk. Dusek: Hello ladies and gentlemen. As I'm sure our repeat viewers recall two weeks ago I announced WSW would be hosting it's first supershow called Independent Together. I'm sure you've all also heard the adage "Man plans,God laughs" One of the paramount truths of the wrestling business and indeed life in general is plans change sometimes in the blink of a eye. Therefore as commissioner of Western States Wrestling it is my duty to report that Independent Together will not go ahead as planned. I truly apologize to everyone who was looking forward to attending Independent Together or watching live on television at home. However i can also report that you're plans to spend Independence day weekend watching great wrestling does not have to be canceled,merely altered. See folks i earlier spoke of plans changing but the thing is they sometimes change for the better. As such I can report to you that instead of the wrestlers & fans of WSW coming together with each other for one day of wrestling,We will come together with our sister promotions in the National Wrestling Alliance for a 3 day celebration collectively known as the Great American Bash! For those of you looking forward to the crowning of our first WSW Television Champion,Kendall Windham & Alexis Smirnoff bludgeoning each other in a Russian chain match or the Tribal Nation & The Moondogs tearing each other apart inside a steel cage rest assured those will still take place as. WSW holds night 1 of the Great American Bash on July 3rd. However the WSW Heavyweight Championship match of Jumbo Tsuruta defending against Johnny Mantell shall be moved to June 19th at Sports Arena in Amarillo. This is so whoever wins can adequately train for their next challenge. For you see not only shall the winner of that match be the WSW Heavyweight Champion but they'll have earned the right to go to night 1 and challenge Magnum T.A for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Speaking of World Championships, the NWA World Tag Team Championships have been mired in controversy for over a month now and after tense negotiations between all relevant parties i can finally report a solution has been reached, on July 3rd all 3 teams at the heart of this issue Mr Pogo & Kendo Nagasaki of Zaibatsu,The Funk brothers & the recognized champions of Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams shall compete in a 1 night round robin tournament the winners of which will be acknowledged by all companies in the NWA as the undisputed champions. And if all this sounds to big for the Sports Arena then we're in agreement because my final announcement today is that night 1 of the Great American Bash shall iminate from the McNicholas Sports Arena in Denver Colorado! More announcements may be made in the coming weeks but for now I can finally send it to Steve Stack and another exciting episode of Western States Wrestling! Have a great rest of your day. The scene fades to black as then reopens to a overwhelmed looking Steve Stack standing in front of a joint WSW and NWA banner as the studio audience lose their collective minds. Stack: Well ladies and gentlemen i think you'll agree there's nothing left to say except let's get to the ring for our first match! Match 1 Kendall Windham defeats Constantino Melendez with a lariat Commercial break-Steve Stack runs down the Western States live events for this coming week Match 2 "Wild Tiger" Kim Duk defeats "Pistol" Praise Gladwin with a double arm suplex. Stack explains that Tojo isn't at ringside because he & Jumbo are getting ready for the contract signing later in the episode.

Dory Funk Jr vs Chicky Starr Terry Funk & "The Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell vs Zaibatsu (WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta & Mr Pogo) w/Tojo Yamamoto Main event television title tournament match "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez defeats "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers when Somers attempted a Brainbuster but Perez landed on his feet behind Somers and hit a bridging German suplex! As Perez leaves to the cheers of the crowd we cut to Steve Stack, Johnny Mantell, Tojo Yamamoto & Jumbo Tsuruta at the interview area. Mantell is wearing a embroidered western style shirt,blue jeans and a cowboy hat & boots. Tojo & Jumbo are wearing formal kimonos. Jumbo has the WSW Heavyweight title over his shoulder. Stack: Gentlemen, next week at the Sports Arena you 2 will complete not just for WSW Heavyweight Championship but for a opportunity to go to night 1 of the Great American Bash and challenge for most prestigious prize in professional wrestling history, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The contract has been reviewed by both your legal representatives and approved by both sides. Mr Tsuruta as reigning champion you may go first. *Jumbo calmly signs his name using Japanese Kanji.And if you have anything to add. Instead of either Tojo or Jumbo taking the mic Jumbo reaches into his kimono and retrieves a letter which he he hands to Stack. Stack: Opens the letter and gives it a quick read before clearing his throat. To Mr Mantell. I wrote this letter to you because while I of course trust the honorable Tojo Yamamoto to translate the spirit of what I would say, I am aware that he can get creative with his wording. I'll be honest Mantell-san I didn't think you would survive the gauntlet last week. I believed you could defeat one perhaps even two of my comrades but the idea of any American having the fortitude to outlast them all didn't even accur to me. And yet that is precisely what you have done! Such a display of of resilience and fighting spirit has convinced me you must have Japanese blood in you somewhere. Alas that scarce trace of our noble heritage shall not be enough to bring you victory as noone raised in the moral degenaracy and lack of any values prevalent in this country shall ever defeat a born warrior such as myself. Nevertheless you h earned a modicum of my respect may that comfort you in the aftermath of my inevitable victory. May you fight well and accept your failure with dignity. Sincerely yours. Your destined conqueror Jumbo Tsuruta. With that Jumbo stands,gives Mantell a slight bow then turns to leave. Tojo does the same and begins to follow but stops halfway before returning to address Mantell. Tojo:Mantell-san I want you to know that no matter what anyone say after Jumbo defeats you next week in Papa-sans eyes *Tojo puts his hand on Mantell's shoulder in a comforting gesture* You will always be mentally retarded. With that Tojo rejoins Jumbo who has been waiting at the entrance. Before they can exit through the curtain however Mantell's voice gets their attention. Mantell: Jumbo! I don't know how much of this you can actually understand so I'll just say this *Mantell signs his name* Next week that title's coming home to America boy!
