Autistic Dragon

A highlight episode makes for the perfect Christmas present for WWF fans.

We all get a Christmas present as the Renesto Brothers are FINALLY tag team champions!

The power trio get us off to a strong start. Missy once again comes in clutch for her man. I wouldn't mind a rematch. The Freebirds make a huge splash in their debut. Piper said "fuck this match. I'mma just beat his ass." What is Dibiase up to now that Hart and the Samoans seem to be behind them? I'm gonna wait to hear Murdoch's explanation before assigning final judgement but his turn was definitely a surprise. Major shakeup in the Horsemen. Spivey is out, Blanchard is in, Flair's still got the World title but Sting and new US champ Luger will still be on his trail.

Congratulations! You called this perfectly. At New Year's Dash the Blue League semifinal will be Bryan Danielson vs Eddie Kingston while the previously mentioned Mox/Swerve/White three-way as the Gold League semi.

I love how much detail you put in here. Glad to see The Olympians get the nod as I've been eating their act up.

Okay I get that you're joking but is that something he'd actually do?

I actually found out about this a minute before you posted it. Good for Tana. I wonder how this will change things going forward?

An excellent recap.

Gold League wrapped up last night with Mox, Swerve and White tied with 12 points each meaning the GL semi will be a triple threat match. Blue League wraps up this Saturday when Andrade(9) faces Kingston(6), Castagnoli(6) faces Danielson(9) and King(6) faces Garcia(0). With this lineup Blue League is destined to end in a tie with perhaps as many as 5 men involved.

Morton is exactly the kind of pure hearted babyface you want to put up against a egotistical prick like Gilbert. Mr, pardon me, Brother Hughes is a perfect fit for the Nation. Nice touch having Snowman touch on Atlas's run in the AWA. The Freebirds are coming and they've got gold in their sights. The Piper/Muraco situation turned sour fast. The Tag Title match could the whole arena down. Spivey may have more than his title on the line when he faces Luger. Rhodes....Funk.... Texas Bullrope Match... something's gotta give. Sting is shooting to the top in record time but is he ready to unseat the Nature Boy?

The Soviets definitely impressed tonight. The Koslowski brothers streak in tag matches comes to a surprising end. Osaka may not have known who Volk Han was before but they sure do now. The first time I read the ending to the main event I was as confused as the fans, I thought Mr Backlund might have got screwed but it was just a judgement call by the ref. Not that Backlund is any happier about it. Maeda vs Takada in the Budokan! The hype is already on.

Studd & Hercules are gonna make the Weasel rue the day he showed them the door. The Champ vs Champ feud continues to gather steam. Bravo certainly doesn't lack confidence in his chances against Hogan. Fuji has found another killer to add to his collection. It may be winter but Rude and Roberts is white hot. Hacksaw calling out the Bossman. Dangerously pulls off a serious coup signing Muta.

The Assassin and the Renesto Brothers are done being ignored and decide to call out the champs face to face. The Cheetah Kid is a gimmick that feels like it would fit right in at a small regional territory. Bobby Blaze steps up to protect Dark Journey with her boys on the shelf.

Loving Sarge cutting his promo on top of a tank! Greg's back.....yay .

Brandi ain't backing down but Sarge won't hesitate to knock him down. The Olympians and the Glamour Boys are both looking strong ahead of the battle royal. The Saints and Coast 2 Coast meanwhile, may be distracted by more personal business. The Dream Machine is that expecting a big night for his boys. Fujinami and Vader are both getting ready for a major clash. Larry Z gets the jump on Orndorff. Canek absolutely blitzes McGee. Gordy and Kerry just can't keep their hands off each other. Gerry gives the fans a pretty sweet gift with a proper preshow. A sweet video package highlighting perhaps the two baddest men in the AWA sends us off the air.

Looks like PCW just found its Smoking Gunn.

Macho Man and the Giant make for an exciting addition of the Brother Love show. Love the end of show promos.

As someone who has been watching them from their golden period of 2005-2009 through the dark days of the Pop TV era, it's been genuinely heartwarming to see how far they've come under Scott D'Amore (and for a period Don Callis). Dave Penzer has never been my favorite ring announcer but I do wish him well.

Damn! Mrs Kentucky's show AND a fireball? Jamie and Papa-san got the hell beat out of them. I got a bad feeling about Bass' trip to Falk's school. Well that title reign didn't last long! Congratulations to the Wildside. I'm sure Reno is just thrilled.

NWA drops Mark Laurentius and signs Bart Sawyer.

The Warlord of the Wasteland continues his rampage. To be fair to the ref, Terri seems like the kind of woman who can make a man miss the obvious. Reed's campaign against the Nation steps up a notch as both sides add a new recruit. Piper and the Funkers exchange was everything I thought it'd be. The LC hold onto the gold with some help from the Dr. After tonight, Hansen has plenty of reason to be mad at Murdoch. In his own mind anyway. Loved all the details in the battle royal and especially the ending of Luger handing the win to Sting.

And your winners of the 2023 World Tag League.... Bishoman! This makes them the first team to win the tournament three years in a row and for Goto specifically it makes him a record setting five time winner. After defeating GoD they promptly challenged them to a rematch at Wrestle Kingdom 18 but this time it's Title vs Title.

December 22nd looks to be the biggest night in UWF history! Pretty cool of Maeda and Takada to take care of their fans like that.
