Autistic Dragon

Thanks SirEdgar. I asked because it seems like some of the writers who signed on to this haven't been reporting in so i thought there might be a opening.

Hi I'm new to this game and while I'm still refining my style I'd be willing to give this a go. Feel free to check out my work in Western States Wrestling in Dawn of War and let me know if you think I'd fit in here.

Sioux City sees a memorable night of wrestling with a title defense, an appearance by Andre and what must have been a hell of a brawl between Blackwell & Murdoch. I agree with LowBlow, I'm gonna be watching your tag team scene closely as well.

Little Heart shows loads of heart as she ALMOST takes the television title from a seemingly unstoppable Singh. Debbie Combs begins her climb back to world title contention with a convincing win over a sneaky Candi Devine. The Monsters technically lose the match but they're all anybody will be talking about for the next week and I think that's enough for them. Don't worry about scheduling from what I've seen everybody uploads when they CAN. WWW is getting crazy in all the right ways.

Hot of the heels of a amazing night in Las Vegas PCW returns to ESPN in triumph. The Brigade just cannot get going in their feud with the Crazy Gang and it's starting to get to Hall. Jarrett wisely splits after defeating Candido. If I were him I'd be seriously reconsidering Burke's offer. The Playboy is his usual humble self explaining how great he is and how he's the next PCW World Champion. I'm ready for Seattle. The Midnight Express don't miss a beat picking up a win in the 6 man main event. But the real story is Leo & Bubba trying to kill each other. Gonna need something special to settle this one. PCW may be the most consistent company in the game.

Whether it's on tv or on the loop MACW is giving it's audience more than enough reasons to come back for more. Especially those NWA Tag Title matches.

Sign me up for Dick Murdock vs Jerry Blackwell. Thunderbolt Patterson agreeing to join Hayes's stable pays off as he and the playboy pick up a win over the future Rock n Roll Express. Bundy also sends a message by squashing Gibson. Bobby Heenan has a surprise for us next week? This can't be good. But I'll tune it anyway.

Adrenaline Rush gets the crowd going with a fast-paced win. Paul Jones helps his maniac steal a win but pays for it courtesy of a k.o punch by " rugged " Ron. A chaotic six man is won by Cabin Fever & the Soul Man but ultimately settles nothing. Jones's earlier interference costs him as he isn't there for the Baron as he goes down to the Spoiler. Ox and his Beasts clearly don't mind a bit of help as long as they keep their titles. The feud between the Cartel and the Superflys continues to escalate. The Superstar uses a pair of brass knuckles to score the first win in his renewed rivalry with the King. Goulet's ego gets the better of him as he refuses to take a forfeit win and issues a open challenge that gets answered by Wahoo McDaniel! Got a feeling next time Goulet will quit while he's ahead. Kamala & laukea may not have gotten the title but send a clear message by leaving the world champion laying The people of Louisville will be talking about this show for a while.

Sunday Showcase starts with a bang! The East-West connection is ready to take on all comers (except for the High Flyers)! I don't think anyone is surprised that The Heenan Family outsmarted the Wild Samoans. Saint & Regal get the w but what everyone will be wondering is, who bloodied Zumhofe? And we have a new NWA JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Royal puts up quite a fight but it's not enough to prevent the dawn of the Tiger Mask era! The title's heading to Japan. A cage mask next week!? I'm there!

Western States Wrestling Sports Arena Amarillo Texas May 8 1986 Bell time 3pm Sunny War Cloud & Cocoa Samoa win the " Wild card " Battle Royal to determine the final team in the tournament. First Round Matches The Tribal Nation ( Chris & Mark Youngblood) defeat The Invaders (1&3) when Mark countered a sunseflip attempt by Invader 3. The Glamor Boys get a good pop entering to Bon Jovi's " You give love a bad name ". Radiance swagger out to " You shook me all night long " by AC/DC and visibly enjoy paissing off the Amarillo faithful by spending ages preening and strutting around the ring before letting the bell be rung. Radiance (" The Flamboyant " Eric Embry & "Pretty Boy " Doug Somers) defeat The Glamor Boys (Steve Doll & Steve Simpson) when Embry got his knees up during Simpson's top rope splash then performed a inside cradle with a handful of tights. Sunny War Cloud & Cocoa Samoa are in the ring as " The Moondogs " by Richard Lee comes over the pa system. The crowd is confused initially by the fact that Rex & Spot are coming to the ring on leashes only only for a collective gasp to emerge as Steve Stack identifies the man holding the leashes as....KEVIN SULLIVAN! The Moondogs (Rex & Spot) w/ Kevin Sullivan defeat Sunny War Cloud & Cocoa Samoa when Sullivan hits War Cloud with the Golden Spike behind referee Alex Perez's back allowing Spot to pin him. A large pop greets the arrival of The Fort Bragg Brotherhood to " Real American " by Rick Derringer. Thunderous boos greet the arrival of Zaibatsu to " The End of the Century " by Seikima-ll. The Fort Bragg Brotherhood (Cpl Kirchner & Pvt Don Kernodle) defeat Zaibatsu (Kendo Nagasaki & Mr Pogo) w/Tojo Yamamoto when Nagasaki accidentally sprayed Pogo with the Asain mist then was schoolboyed by Kernodle as he was checking on him. Non Tournament Match " The Latin Heartthrob " Al Perez defeats " The Russian Hammer " Alexis Smirnoff by ducking a clothesline and hitting his bridging German suplex to barely hold the Russian menace down for the 3. Tournament Semi-finals In a rematch from Resurrection, The Tribal Nation defeat Radiance when Chris hits Somers with a Tomahawk chop. The Moondogs w/Kevin Sullivan defeat The Fort Bragg Brotherhood when Sullivan distracts referee Bobby Pico allowing Spot to hit Kirchner with one of the Moondogs bones as he has Rex in the Cobra Clutch allowing Rex to score the pin. Big time heat as " Dirty deeds done dirt cheap " by AC/DC heralds the arrival of Tim Brooks & Skandar Akbar. The two spend time jawing with the fans who suddenly explode into cheers as " A country boy can survive " by Hank Williams Jr blairs over the speakers signaling the arrival of Kendall Windham. The cheers end abruptly as Alexis Smirnoff rushes out and nail Windham from behind. He batters Windham in the aisle for a bit before ramming him headfirst into the ringpost then throwing him in as Brooks & Akbar laugh. Smirnoff joins them and he and Brooks put the boots to Windham with Akbar getting a few shots in as well. Akbar then says something to Brooks who dives out of the ring to return with two chairs. He hands one to Smirnoff and they take position on either of a bloody, kneeling Windham being held upright by Akbar. Thankfully before this can go any further a squad of faces and security rush the ring causing the villainous trio to retreat up the aisle laughing the whole way. Meanwhile Windham is able to pull himself up and, with a bit of help, walk to the back under his own power to some relieved cheers. Steve Stack announces that as Brooks vs Windham clearly isn't happening WSW will be presenting a " back-up " match arranged for just such an emergency. Non tournament match Chicky Starr defeats U.S Steel by c.o when Steel tried to splash Starr against the post but Starr moved, ducked back in the ring and Steel couldn't make the count. Tournament Final The Tribal Nation defeat The Moondogs w/Kevin Sullivan in a chaotic brawl that Bobby Pico probably would have thrown out several times if this wasn't to crown new champions. Pico got grazed by a stray shot towards the end allowing Sullivan to climb into the ring with the Golden Spike. Just as he was about to nail Chris with it Sunny War Cloud rushes out and blasts him with a dropkick. He kicks Sullivan and the spike to the floor but turns around into a clothesline by Rex that sends him over the top rope. As Rex leans through the ropes to check on Sullivan Chris grabs him, rolls him up just as Pico recovers and just manages to get the 1...2...3! Your winners and new WSW Tag Team Champions The Tribal Nation!!!

Western States Wrestling Episode #2 Saturday May 8 1986 From the KFDA-TV Studio in Amarillo Texas Airing live at 9:35am on WTBS Channel 17 Show opens with a montage of classic Western States action set to " Into the fire" by Dokken. We cut to Steve Stack standing in front of a joint WSW and NWA banner. Stack: Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another episode of Western States Wrestling sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance, the premier governing body of professional wrestling the world over. We have an amazing show for you today showcasing several tag teams here in Western States. Also in action today will be " Killer " Tim Brooks with his manager Skandar Akbar. And in the main event Mr Pogo & Kendo Nagasaki of Zaibatsu will face Dory Funk Jr & a mystery partner on what Tojo Yamamoto is insisting is a NWA World Tag Title defense.

Speaking of tournaments last week we crowned our first Western States Heavyweight Champion. It is my pleasure to be able to award the title to the winner (Dusek takes a breath as if to brace himself) accompanied by his manager Tojo Yamamoto *massive boos*Jumbo Tsuruta! Tojo & Tsuruta walk out in formal kimonos, Tojo bickers with some fans but Jumbo ignores them utterly. Tsuruta accepts the title with a slight bow then raises it to the crowd who boo even louder as they see Tojo grabbing the mic., Tojo: Mr Frank Dusek you cannot be surprised, Mr Steve Stack you cannot be surprised, Even you inbred Texas rednecks cannot be surprised! Of course you put a superior Japanese athlete like Jumbo Tsuruta in tournament with weak willed weak minded Americans there can be only one outcome. Jumbo Tsuruta is my Yokozuna and he will destroy any American mentality retarded enough to challenge him and when he has no more challengers here he will destroy Magnum T.A and become NWA World champion. BANZAI! Dusek has security escort Tsuruta & Tojo to the back as deafening boos rain down. Stack: OK ladies and gentlemen let's get to our first match and see if things settle down. Match #1 " Killer" Tim Brooks defeats Jeremias Rodriguez with a second rope leg drop. ( Akbar & Brooks join Steve Stack at the interview area) Stack: Skandar Akbar your man Tim Brooks looks ready for his rematch with Kendall Windham at the Sports Arena later today. Akbar: First of all Steve Stack I'm gonna say this once and only once my name is General Skandar Akbar. Second this is a wonderful time for professional wrestling, not because of the return of Western States Wrestling nobody cares about that. I'm talking about the return of the greatest organization in professional wrestling history, An organization that has left more bodies across these United States and especially Texas then any other organization on record I'm talking of course about the new and improved Devastation Inc. And the foundation on which I will build my new empire is this man " Killer " Tim Brooks and the conquest starts at the Sports Arena later today. Kendall Windham I heard what you said last week boy. I heard you saying you want to be your own man, make your own mark well understand this, The only mark you're gonna make is the stain you leave on the floor of the Sports Arena after Tim Brooks is done with you. And there's nothing your cowpoke daddy or that beanpoll of a brother of yours can do about it. Akbar & Brooks leave the interview area. Stack: Hard words from " General " Skandar Akbar we'll see if his man can back it up. More exciting action after this commercial break. Commercial- Steve Stack runs down the Western States live events for this coming week.

The crowd suddenly erupts into cheers as Dory Funk Jr emerges and after taking in their love for a brief moment gestures to the entrance. The fans wait feverishly then explode in deafening cheers as TERRY FUNK walks out hugs his brother then they both rush the ring) Dory Funk Jr & Terry Funk defeat Zaibatsu ( Kendo Nagasaki & Mr Pogo) w/ Tojo Yamamoto after Terry counters a Nagasaki back body drop attempt into a piledriver. Yamamoto had tried to interfere earlier but was run off by a man with shoulder length brown hair and a wild look in his eye. The show ends with the Funk brothers taking the NWA World Tag Team Titles and celebrating with the live audience.

Greg is riding high as he accepts another match with Rheneigans. Could Brad finally have found someone to watch his back? Moretti proves to be too ruthless for a fired up Steve O. I never heard of this guy before last week but you've got me intrigued. Jose Lothario pops in to make clear that El Canek hasn't forgotten about Giant Haystacks Cabin Fever ain't backing down from nobody! An 8 man tournament on memorial day with the winner getting a world title shot at Wrestlerock! And to make it even better you bring in Wahoo & Bockwinkel! Tempers flare in the battle of the Billy Jacks leading to a double c.o. After the match Ox gets involved and drops strong. Another man in need of a friend. The Cartel send a clear message to the Superflys. Garea pulls a fast one on Ustinov and nabs the TV Title match for himself. Comrade Ustinov is gonna have a tough time explaining this to his superiors. Brenda is determined to out scoop Lance with the return of Sir Tony St Clair & Les Thornton. Thornton drops the hot scoop that his man will be in the memorial day tournament. What better way to prove you're " Simply the best " then to beat 3 men in 1 night. Rock n Roll pick up their first win in the AWA and receive a bit of the bubbly as a reward. Shame somebody drank it all. The Superstar is ready to exile the king and make the AWA HIS kingdom. Steamboat shows the kind of fire he'll need to beat the monster Kamala. But is it enough? I knew the build to the Tag Title match was too chummy! Adias goes low and brings home the gold. Love the visual of the heels offering a handshake to the guy they just kicked in the nuts. The AWA is a guaranteed great week of wrestling!

An exciting loop for MACW with some juicy title matches throughout. My family would have seriously debated a trip to either Charlotte or Raleigh.

Rhonda Singh OWNS the television Championship! Can anyone take it from her? New Trios champions means every Monster is holding gold. Moretti picks up two belts in a nail biter. I wonder if she'll take them to Mid-South? Another great night of wrestling in Vegas.

Good thing I didn't put any actual money on this card because I lost twice. A stacked battle royal sees the Playboy come out #1 contender to the world title. Badd Company scrape out a win over The Vice Squad. Percy must be throwing a fit. The Midnight Express put down the exciting rookie team of Black Gold. They may have eliminated my pick but I can't argue that the Thunderbirds earned this one. A slightly distracted British Steel give everything they got but it's not enough to stop the Hart Foundation. Yamada has the belt won but the Knights are there to bail out the boss. Bring on the rematch! A 2 of 3 falls match where the faces lose the first fall? Inconceivable! But seriously a great win for the Champs. Badd Company finds out the hard way you've got to get up pretty early in the morning to outthink the Midnight Express. And the Hart Foundation defeats the Thunderbirds to set up the rare heel vs heel tournament Final. The Ace brings his A-game but the Beast from the East won't be denied. When four hosses beat the shit out of each other the true winners are always the audience. Congratulations to the Wild Bulls. I would have sold my blood to watch the Hart Foundation take on the Midnight Express. The Express will be great opponents for the Wild Bulls. Mist ain't got shit on a goddamm FIREBALL! I don't blame Muta a bit, You try to fry me I'm ghosting too world title or not. Rose may rue the day he won that battle royal. Vegas Vengeance was a smashing success!

Shit forgot to make my pick for the tourny... put me down for The Dog Pound.

Western States Wrestling Episode #1 Saturday May 1 1986 From the KFDA-TV Studio in Amarillo Texas Airing live at 9:35am on WTBS Channel 17 ( Show opens with a montage of classic Western States action set to " Into the fire " by Dokken " We cut to Steve Stack standing in front of a joint WSW & NWA banner. Stacks: Good morning ladies and gentlemen my name is Steve Stack and it is my pleasure to welcome you to the return of Western States Wrestling sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance, the premier governing body of professional wrestling the world over. We have an exciting card for you today but before we get to it I wanna introduce the man appointed commissioner of Western States, a man with considerable experience in pro wrestling in Texas Mr Frank Dusek! Dusek: Thank you Steve before we get to the action today we need to address the situation regarding the NWA World Tag Team Titles. I Whatever Dusek was going to say is drown out in a chorus of boos as Zaibatsu ( Kim Duk, Mr Pogo, Kendo Nagasaki, Jumbo Tsuruta ) and their manager Tojo Yamamoto make their way to the set. Yamamoto is waving the Japanese flag and Pogo & Nagasaki are holding the Tag Titles. Tojo: Oh thank you very much Mr Frank Duesk but I take it from here. At Resurrection my take on those mentally inferior Americans Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams, we beat them, we humiliate them and my Zaibatsu are now NWA World tag team champions! ( Pogo & Nagasaki raise the titles high as Tojo waves the flag) Dusek: Now wait a minute Yamamoto you know damn good and well that's not what happened. Your men lost that match and you know it.. Tojo: Oh Mr Frank Dusek your memory clearly not very good. If you had strong memory like Japanese do you remember Steve Williams steal Japanese flag from me and assault the honorable Mr Pogo with it which is against the rules. Which means they are losers and we are winners and new champions! ( Dusek starts to object but Tojo cuts him off) But enough about those dirty cheaters. We look to future now yes? My Zaibatsu will be fighting champions and will destroy any weak American team who dare challenge them! ( Tojo is about to continue but is distracted by the massive applause as Dory Funk Jr heads to the set) Funk: Pardon the interruption but as I was preparing for my match with Kim Duk in today's main event I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying out here. Mr Yamamoto did I hear you correctly your men will face all comers for those Titles? Tojo: That's right Mr Dory Funk Jr my Zaibatsu will face any and all American teams. Funk:Well if I may be so bold perhaps my partner and I might volunteer to be your first challengers? Tojo: You and your partner vs my Zaibatsu? HAHAHA very funny Mr Funk, tell you what you catch papa-san in a good mood. If you can beat my man Kim Duk today we give you title match next week and you don't even have to say who you're partner is Funk: Mr Yamamoto you have yourself a deal. The wrestlers clear the set leaving behind a bewildered Stack & Dusek. Stack: Ladies and gentlemen we need to get this straightened out in the meantime it's time to get to the action. MATCH #1 Kendall Windham defeats Yuri Tartakovsky with a lariat. ( After the match Steve Stack invites Kendall Windham to the interview area ) Stack: An impressive victory by young Kendall Windham. Kendall welcome and tell us, what are your goals in Western States Wrestling? Windham: Well Steve first let me thank the good people of Amarillo for the warm welcome they've given me ( crowd pops ) and too answer your question I've been a professional wrestler for a little under 2 years now and I've spent much of that teaming either with my father Blackjack Mulligan and/or my older brother Barry. Now don't get me wrong I love'em both dearly but I decided that It's time i make my own mark on this business and when I heard about Western States i knew this was my opportunity. Stack: Well i certainly wish you the best in that endeavor but I would be remiss if I didn't ask about your match at Resurrection. Windham: You know Steve as my father was training me he told me " Son sometimes your just gonna be in there with someone better than you " Well Tim Brooks you, me & the people of Amarillo know that's not what happened. I had you beat until that desert rat Skandar Akbar stuck his nose where it didn't belong. As far im concerned a debt is owed and boys I'm coming to collect. COMMERCIAL BREAK Match #2 " The Russian Hammer " Alexis Smirnoff defeats Lois Backson with the Heart Punch. After the match Smirnoff buried Backson under the Soviet flag to massive boos. Stack: Well there was no need for such disrespect. Fans Commissioner Dusek is back with me to address something that lost in the kerfuffle earlier. Dusek: That's right Steve. Ladies and gentlemen i'm here to announce a 8 man one day tournament to crown the first Western States Heavyweight Champion to be held at the Sports Arena here in Amarillo. Bell time 3pm tickets still available we hope to see you there. Stack: A huge announcement to be sure and i can't think of a better way to celebrate it than with our next match. Match #3 Al Perez defeats Corwin Norton with a bridging German suplex. COMMERCIAL BREAK Match #4 Phil & Bill Devile are warming up in the ring when a brief drum solo plays over the pa system before giving way to a country style guitar solo. It fits out at the 15 second mark as two large men in blue jeans with wild unkempt hair and large bones lurch towards the ring. " Full moon shining on the swampland, Wilds of Louisiana. Silence is broken by the howling of a creature both beast and man " The Moondogs ( Rex/Spot ) defeat the Devile twins ( Bill/Phil) in about a minute when Rex performs a backbreaker on Phil and holds him while Spot comes off the second rope with a elbow drop. The Moondogs celebrated their win by beating the dogshit out of the Devile's for about another 3 minutes in including repeated shots with their bones, a steel chair and just tossing the poor kids all over the ringside area. Eventually security works up the nerve to coral these lunatics to the dressing room while Commissioner Dusek checks on the Devile twins ( and discreetly slip their 20 dollars into their tights ) While that's happening Steve Stack runs through the card for the Sports Arena later in the day. Round 1 Dory Funk Jr vs " Killer " Tim Brooks w/Skandar Akbar " Pretty Boy " Doug Somers vs Cocoa Samoa " The Flamboyant " Eric Embry vs Johnny Mantell Jumbo Tsuruta w/Tojo Yamamoto vs Al Perez Non tournament matches 10 man 10,000 dollar battle royal Six man tag special attraction Zaibatsu ( Kendo Nagasaki, Mr Pogo & Kim Duk) w/Tojo Yamamoto vs The Tribal Nation ( Chris & Mark Youngblood & Sunny War Cloud) Bell time 3pm tickets still available Main Event. Match #5 Dory Funk Jr defeats Kim Duk w/Tojo Yamamoto with the spinning toe hold to secure a tag title match (?) next week!

Johnson gives it all he's got but Race weather's the storm to retain the title. Koloff/Patera/Valentine vs Piper/Flair/Steamboat is a almost endless supply of intriguing matches. It's champions vs champions next week as Jones & Superstar take on Wahoo & Snuka in a match that i can see really pulling in ratings. MACW is rolling!

Billy Jack Strong gets the crowd going with a win over Goulet. It's Bomb's Away as the Superstar makes a successful return at Garea's expense. Cabin Fever score a win over The Highwaymen but my gut says this isn't finished. OK seriously Rheneigans needs a new partner because this is getting ridiculous. The Soul Man & the Universal Heartthrob go to a double C.O as their war over the National Title is just getting started. Paul Jones some comeuppance as the dragon retains over a game Baron. Hot damn! The Louisville Gardens is gonna be the place to be next week as the King & the Superstar go at it and the Steamboat defends against " The Monster " Kamala!

The AWA is starting Sunday Showcase with a stacked card! Kudos on the Okerlund-Heenan interview i could hear the whole exchange in my head. Bock and the Crippler vs The Wild Samoans should make one hell of a contrast in styles. And we can't forget the big Junior Heavyweight Title match. Royal and Tiger Mask could tear the house down.

Ken Patera proves he'll hold on to the Mid Atlantic Championship by any means necessary. Piper & Tully trade DQ's over the U.S Title. Wahoo & Snuka fend off two top teams in defense of their tag titles. The Hammer goes 20 minutes with the Dragon then scores a win over Kevin Von Erich. Two big wins for the Russians A fun pair of cards for Mid-Atlantic.

A successful debut for the Golden Boys. Nice to see Kelly in a good mood for a change. Soldat Ustinov squashes a jobber then call out Casey! Russia seems to have a keen interest in the TV Title. Colon is the sacrifice! I'd completely forgotten about Singh paying Iaukea. Now onto Steamboat and the World Title. Wrestlrock 86' oh yeah! Garvin ko's a goober then sends a warning to #1 Paul Jones and the maniac. A nice little tune-up for the Universal Heartthrob ahead of his Title shot in Milwaukee. Speaking of tune-ups Henning & Adias get one for themselves ahead of their big chance next week. A nice win for Adrenaline Rush but the real story is Steve O getting laid out by Ruthless Moretti. The Rock n roll Express is in the AWA! The champagne will be flowing eh Brenda? The Highwaymen use two unlucky souls to send a message to Cabin Fever. Cowboy Casey picks up a quick w and accepts Soldat's challenge. Another week, another chance for Ox and his Beasts of Burden to commit nationally televised murder. The Hangman & The Crippler have a fun brawl leading up to an even more fun pier sixer with everyone involved. The King sends us off the air with a pledge to meet the superstar anywhere, anytime. Looking forward to this one. The AWA is rolling strong.
