Autistic Dragon

An interesting main event. A three-way dance between three old fashioned workers like these runs the risk of going off the rails. But the main focus is Savage going back and forth with his alignment against each opponent.

You really captured Flair on the mic. Dibiase gets some payback but the question is, can he get the title? The Texas Outlaws prioritize putting a hurting on Doc and the Stinger. Terri looks just about done with Rogers. Hot Rod & The King! This should be a hell of a team....if they can last. Missy has a big decision to make. Medusa looks to show why a model has no business in a wrestling ring. Defeats fired up for the big six man tag. All is good between champions and challengers ahead of the US Tag Title match. Yep, clearly we're in store for a nice, friendly wrasslin' match. Humongous was tired of waiting, he wanted a piece of Luger NOW!

Bossman and Dusty are getting ready to fight each other for a time shot but Savage says "screw it send'em both!" Lanny probably could've work shopped that poem.

Steiners & Duggan get the crowd hyped with a pair of big wins. Herc just found out the hard way who the BOSS is. Beefcake turns Taylor from a peacock to a Red Rooster! The Bulldog slamming OMG is gonna be in highlight reels for years to come. Tito gets a Rude Awakening. Demolition proves they're the #1 team in the WWF. The Americana tour is going strong with wins by Dusty and the Von Erichs. Muta wins the IC title in the easy match of the night. Sherri seems to have found her spot. Andre & Snuka get their big moment. Savage fends off the Warrior but the Bossman barges into the press conference and leaves the champ bloody as Elizabeth watches. What a closer.

Victoria. The Suicide Blondes are climbing the tag ranks. Another less than Perfect outing for Hennig. Always nice to hear from Cornette. Soultaker is on a roll. The Triangle strikes again! Vancouver. Malenko with another win on Lynn. Lee's momentum continues. So now the Triangle is after Haynes? Interesting. I think Ace just got ditched. Steamboat with a successful defense over the Jr member of the Blood Syndcate. Kelowna. Soultaker doubles up on the loop. Finlay snaps Severn back to form...for a while. The Club is on point to help Rose over the line. Regal is doing some real marathons lately. And it's official, Ace is out. Pillman closes the night on top.

World Title. As Slater's opportunity at the Ten Pounds of Gold draws near, he and The Assassin are clearly looking for ways to soften the champion up before the big event. This week that took the form of a singles match with Nord the Barbarian. The brute was clearly looking to inflict maximum damage even at times passing up chances to actually win the match. Garvin had to knuckle down to endure the assault but his famous top rope sunsetflip allowed him to keep the Barbarian down for the three. As Garvin celebrated with the fans, The Assassin cast a withering glare the champs way. NWA United States Title. It seems great minds think alike as "The Mastermind" Ron Fuller launched a campaign to wear down Tom Prichard ahead of his challenge for the US title at the Crockett Cup. Dr Tom was allowed to choose a partner to take on the pair of Rod Price & Tommy on Worldwide with Prichard surprising the Stud Stable by recruiting Wahoo McDaniel! The two showed unexpected chemistry together but to their credit, Price & Cairo managed to assert themselves battering both opponents, particularly Prichard with a series of power moves. Eventually things broke down and the ref had to throw things out. The brawl continued and while the Stud Stable was eventually driven from the ring, Prichard was clearly sore from the match, a fact that definitely did not go unnoticed by Fuller. Jimmy Valiant and the Paul Jones Army. After defeating a local talent with his "Grooving elbow" Valiant was celebrating with his people when The Super Destroyer, The Sheepherders and King Kong Bundy all stormed the ring and swarmed Valiant while Paul Jones shouted instructions. The 4-1 beatdown continued for a bit until The Nightmares and Tommy Rich ran down to even the odds. One by one Jones' men were dumped to the outside with Bundy being the last man out and only after being swarmed by all four faces. It was only after security managed to keep the groups apart that Solie noticed that Shaska Whatley never made an appearance. The Crockett Cup. We received the final outside entrants for the Crockett Cup this week. Verne Gagne's AWA is sending only their finest with both sets of tag champions being chosen. World champs Hector & Mando Guerrero are second generation athletes whose Lucha influence is always exciting to see. Meanwhile National tag champs Ken Patera Brad Rhenigans, collectively known as The Olympians, are both prime examples of the classic technical style Gagne is known to love, even if their recent antics have befuddled the fans. WCW will be looking to impress Ted Turner and Jim Herd has selected to send his two top teams both of whom are very familiar to NWA fans. Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard need no introduction. The former is a former NWA World Tag Team champion and a CO winner of last year's tournament while the latter is a four time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. It's no surprise the two have jelled instantly as a team becoming WCW World Tag Team champions. They have to be considered heavy favorites. Wherever they go, The Fabulous Freebirds make an impression and WCW is no exception. Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin made waves winning the WCW United States Tag Titles within a month of arriving. Can they continue that momentum to a win in the Crockett Cup? With all the teams announced, next week will see the final bracket revealed.

The Rose Cousins with a solid showing. Idol is as cocky as ever. Dream Machine looking happy to join up with his former student. Looks like Huber didn't appreciate his makeover last week. Nikita has his sights set firmly on Slaughter. I'm sure the Crockets took the talk of the Olympians podium very seriously . Miller sure healed fast. Dundee gets the win but Adias spoils the celebration. Show ends in chaos as Orndorff & co fight off Devastation Inc.

Malenko recruits some help against the New Generation but it doesn't work out. Windham is on the lookout for his stalkers but they're a no-show....for now. Blackman impresses Hashimoto. The Force clearly aren't fans of juice. I wonder if Page is as upset he had to help Adams as he was having to help Bigelow? Austin show how Wild he can get. Pillman retains and I'd be nervous if I were Ace right about now. LA night 2. I think it's safe to say the Southern Boys heel turn is complete as they rough up the Dreamboats. Rose had to much experience for Spicoli. R.I.P Dustin. The blaming of Bam Bam continues. Windham is on the hunt for the Triangle. The Blood Syndicate with a massive win in the main event. Santa Barbera. The Express got snowed in. Awesome wins a hoss fight. Lee with a Perfect outing tonight. Cornette once again on hand to bail out his champion. Candido catches Lane slipping. Regal and Blackman put on a clinic but the champ holds on.

Debeers still complaining about having to do his job. At least Sheik and the Russian have some fighting spirit. Flair went nuts on the challenger. Humongous is ready to show Luger why he is the unquestioned Lord of the Wasteland. R n R are challenging for the gold and the Freebirds' bad side is already poking through. Missy is finding out that two guys fighting over her isn't as fun as she may have thought. Terri is running out of patience with Rogers. Shame Piper is no good at making friends because he really needs one. Mimi wastes no time calling out the champ. Some major qualifying matches announced for the Crowning.

I like the idea of a short show to hype the big event. We may have only gotten three matches but they all meant something. Just what the hell is Sherri up to? Whatever it is, she helped the Dangerous Alliance pull off a classic on Martel. Speaking of classics, Macho Man pulls off the old slap n run.

United States Title. The main event of this week's er, Main Event was a battle royal to determine who would challenge for the NWA United States Title on night 2 of the Crockett Cup. 15 men battled it out and in the end it came down to Tom Prichard and Buddy Landel. The "Nature Boy" had Prichard literally on the ropes and backed up for a clothesline attempt. Thinking quickly, Prichard was able to turn it into a back body drop that got Landel over the top but Budro grabbed the rope and managed to pull himself back up on the apron. Seeing this the "Doctor of Desire" fired off a Superkick that sent the Horsemen crashing to the floor and Prichard himself to Columbia. The Crockett Cup. On Worldwide a new list of entrants was announced. From Pacific Coast Wrestling, we have the returning duo of "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton and "Sweet" Stan Lane, The Midnight Express, with their bombastic manager Jim Cornette. This will be the third year "The Louisville Lip" has lead a team into the tournament, will third time be the charm? Meanwhile PCW will also be sending the exciting young tandem of Tommy Dreamer and Glamour Boy Shane collectively known as The Dreamboats. Alongside their valet the lovely Trisa Hayes, they've made waves across the west coast. Are they ready to shake up the wrestling world. From the great white north, Maple Leaf Wrestling sends two teams each very familiar to NWA fans. Raymond & Jacques Rougeau are former NWA United States Tag Team champions who delighted in enraging fans with their antics. They've mainly been abroad these past few years but have been lured back by the offer of a million dollars. Also recognizable to the NWA faithful are Sean Royal & Chris Champion, The New Breed. These two young guns departed last year to travel the world and hone their craft and are reportedly excited to show what they've learned. Finally from the World Wrestling Federation, we have three teams determined to show why Vince McMahon's company truly is "the revolutionary force in sports entertainment". Leading the charge are WWF Tag Team champions Ax & Smash, Demolition. These leather clad bruisers have drawn more than passing comparison to the Road Warriors and many fans are fantasizing about a potential match between them. The Barbarian and the Warlord collectively called the Powers of Pain are known to NWA fans as a pair of powerhouses who run over anyone in their path. Lead by the Devious Mr Fuji, they're looking to smash their way to a million dollars. Finally from the University of Michigan, brothers Rick & Scott Steiner have wowed crowds across the country with their strength, athleticism and intensity. A victory in the Crockett Cup would mark them as a leading force in tag team wrestling for years to come.

The Young Lions show what they can do even if none of them get a win. All 6 men headed to the Cup are looking strong. Backlund is truly finding his groove here. Maeda is back on the winning track.

Funk is ready to determine the toughest Texan. Grizz gets a dirty pin keeping the feud with Kaz. Larry Z lends Chicky a helping hand. Canek looking strong as ever ahead of his World title match. Some solid promos hyping the multi-man tags at Champagne Slam. Los Guerreros are full of confidence ahead of the Crockett Cup and Champagne Slam. I'd take Gordy's words deadly seriously if I were Hogan.

Apologies if this was already known but I've just been made aware New Japan will be hosting Resurgence on May the 11th in the Toyota Arena in Ontario California. It's just been announced that the 11,000 seat venue will see all three STRONG titles as well as the World title defended.

The Crockett Cup. We get our first batch of teams entered into the tournament this week. It's reported that the NWA will be entering both sets of tag champions, currently The Road Warriors & The Sheepherders respectively. However it's said that if there is a title change between now and the tournament the new champions will be entered into the tournament. Our first round of "foreign" talent come from UWF International out of Japan. The relatively new promotion has garnered massive buzz with it's MMA inspired bouts and they have jumped at the chance to prove their styles superiority. The UWFI has entered three teams into the tournament. First is the Koslowski Brothers, Dennis & Duane. The South Dakota twins are both standout amateur wrestlers who represented America at last year's Summer Olympics with Dennis taking the bronze in Greco-Roman grappling. The second duo hail from the Soviet Union. Salman Hashimikov is a four time Men's freestyle world champion, claiming the gold in 79, 81-83. He also won the 1982 World Cup as along with a list of titles throughout Europe and the Soviet Union. Joining him is Victor Zangiev who captured the Junior World Championship in 81, the World European Championship in 82 as well as the silver in the 85 World Cup. Interestingly the video highlighting these two was narrated by Ivan Koloff. The final pair is Wayne Shamrock and Joe Malenko. Malenko is a second generation wrestler who in addition to his father Boris Malenko has studied under the legendary Karl Gotch. Shamrock is new to the sport but has learned from the likes of Nelson Royal, Buzz Sawyer and Gene Anderson. Jimmy Valiant - Paul Jones Army Valiant was asked why he intervened between Shaska Whatley and Paul Jones. He said he's known Whatley a long time and he may not like everything he does but has long considered him one of the best in the business. Seeing a man he respects getting pushed around by a "snake in a cheap suit" has got him fighting mad and he's looking to take it out on the whole army.

Burke finally pays back Miller. Larry Z is taking his loss as well as expected. Dragon Kings get the win but Sweet Dreams get the last laugh. Akbar and Cameron are determined to prove who the better champion is. The High Chiefs are on the warpath. Starr doesn't waste time patting himself on the back. Adias trys to walk away but Dundee won't let him so the champ takes the easy way out. But he doesn't leave without sending a violent message. Stevens ends the show with a promise that the World Title is going nowhere.

Maeda looks to get back on track in Sapporo. Interested to see if the UWF adds pinfalls to the mix.

The Varsity Club put on a good show against the champs before things break down. Bulldog looks like a million bucks against the Macho Man. Sherri offers Taylor a hand against Martel. What is she up to? Jimmy Hart unleashes the Earthquake and Kevin may have just become collateral damage. Warrior vs Muta is worth tuning in for the visual alone. Savage sticks his nose in to give Muta the win.

Portland. Has Austin actually earned some respect from Adams and Page? Lee was too Rough for the Roughneck. The Southern Boys have lost their damn minds!
