Autistic Dragon

Brito & Charland poke the bear ahead of the Taped fist match. Resnick should'a joined the toast when he had the chance. After everything he's been through, Colon deserves a vacation. On the bright side,we finally get details on SuperClash, a 8 team tournament for the National Tag Titles! Estrada puts Putski in his place. All part of being El Jefe. Kelly & Kiniski together again. Damn The Fabs are cocky af going into the best of 7. Idol has the gold so he calls the shots, got that darling? The Olympians get too caught up whipping The Union they forgot about The Family! My thoughts excactly.

Fans of Mid-South get the good news about Halloween Havoc! Rock n Roll is coming back 2 Mid-South! Watts may end up regretting his handling of the Bart/Brody situation. Glad to see someone finally going for that damn Yankee's mask. Roberts is already pulling in a paycheck from the Shiek & now he wants the million dollar briefcase? The Bad Bad Team! Love it! Bam Bam is back bay-bay! The Casey/Sunshine vs Garvin/Precious angle has already become can't miss! Rough night in Houston for my boy U.S Steel. Can't blame the Shiek for bailing when Butch Reed started eyeballing the briefcase. 45 minutes of Magnum & DiBiase for the World Title! Hell yes!

MACW TV On Commentary: Bob Caudle & Tony Schiavone. Ring Announcer: David Crockett Airing Friday September 24th 1986 on WTBS Channel 17 from the Cumberland County Memorial Auditorium in Fayetteville,NC. (The show opens with footage from last weeks show in Raleigh. We see El Santo Negro winning the Jr Heavyweight gauntlet only to be attacked by Embry, The Midnight Rockers earning themselves a U.S Tag Title match by beating both The Andersons one-on-one, And in the main event the Four Horsemen defeating the Road Warriors with the post match brawl & the announcement of Randy Savage's match with Tully Blanchard tomorrow night in Greensboro!

Welcome to another episode of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling,professional wrestling's most exciting hour. Sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance,the very finest pro wrestling in the world. I'm Bob Caudle alongside Tony Schiavone & Tony we're just a little over 24 hours away from what is to my mind one of the biggest cards in Mid-Atlantic history. TS: I completely agree Bob. Folks tomorrow night we're returning to the place many would say is the home of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, The Greensboro Coluseam in Greensboro,NC with a card highlighted by the rematch everyone has been waiting for, Road Warrior Hawk defends the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship against the man he won it from "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Bob will run down the rest of the show later this broadcast but I've been granted permission to make the following announcement. Last week on Continental Championship Wrestling Dusty Rhodes revealed that the NWA had agreed to host a joint event called Halloween Havoc. I can confirm that event will take place on Sunday October 31st & it will take place in on of the greatest wrestling sites in the United States...The Omni in Atlanta Georgia! Details are still being worked out but rumors abound of a special one night tournament. Details to be revealed when available. But I think we can all agree this is a exciting time to be a wrestling fan. BC: It certainly is Tony & it's especially a exciting time to be a fan of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling & the National Wrestling Alliance. Now fans let's send it to the ring for our first match and the return of a legendary team to the Mid-Atlantic area,The Assassins! Match #1 The Assassins (Jody Hamilton & Roger Smith) defeat The Gladiators when Assassin #1 made Gladiator #2 submit to the "Assassin Lock" (Lifting hammerlock) Commercial-Bob Caudle runs down the MACW House Shows for the coming week. BC:Welcome back wrestling fans. As Tony mentioned tomorrow night is our long awaited return to Greensboro,NC with the massive main event Road Warrior Hawk vs "Nature Boy" Ric Flair for the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship. Indeed all the Horsemen will be in action tomorrow night & they've sent in a tape addressing their opponents. (VTR- The Four Horsemen dressed to the nines, seated in a Learjet in flight. A very attractive stewardess pours Ric a glass of Champagne) RF: Thank ya darlin'. Well folks tomorrow's the big night. Mid-Atlantic finally returns to the Greensboro Coluseam & The Horsemen are right where we should be,under the brightest lights fighting for gold & for a payday beyond most folks wildest dreams. Tomorrow night The Horsemen plant out flag firmly in the ground & officially claim Mid-Atlantic as our Kingdom. First the greatest tag team in the world today,The Minnesota Wrecking Crew are gonna give those longhaired punks The Midday Boppers or whatever they call themselves a wrestling lesson that is clearly LONG overdue. Then the 24 karat diamond of professional wrestling Tully Blanchard & the REAL first lady of professional wrestling,Baby Doll are gonna put that rabid dog "Nacho Man" Randy Savage down for good. And Lizzy I know it's gonna be hard for ya without your pet Rottweiler to protect you but I want you to know the Naitcha Boy's door is ALWAYS open baby. And finally yours truly,the greatest wrestler under God's hot sun is going to right the greatest wrong in Mid-Atlantic history when rescue,when i liberate the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship from that Mad Max wannabe Hawk. And after that we'll then Mid-Atlantic becomes what it was always meant to be...The Four Horsemen's playground! Gentlemen & Lady i propose a toast, To the Four Horsemen & our continued dominance of the pro wrestling world. (The VTR ends with the excited clinking of glasses) Match #2 "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala w/JR Foley & Friday defeat 3 local talents by stacking them on top of each other and hitting "Air Africa" on the pile. Commercial-Promo for Greensboro BC: Wrestling fans we're back with some more exciting Mid-Atlantic action. Joining me now is a man who's wrestlers have been making quite the impression recently,Mr Jr Foley. JrF: First of all Mr Caudle my name is General Foley. If I'm going to subject myself to being interviewed by a American i must insist on being addressed properly. BC: Ok...General Foley what are the goals of your organization in Mid-Atlantic? JrF: Ever since we graciously allowed you to declare independence you yanks have seemingly made it your mission to debase our proud Anglo-Saxon culture. Rock n Roll, Marijuana, Las Vegas each display of debauchery more obscene than the last! Finally I could take no more. Clearly you Americans weren't ready for the burden of freedom so I've brought the finest talent from her majesty's Commonwealth to whip you sorry lot into shape! From my own pristine homeland of Canada I bring the finest technical wrestler alive today,The next NWA World Jr Heavyweight Champion & the ONLY positive contribution the Hart family has made to this business Chris Benoit. From the beautiful continent of Australia I bring the most physically dominant tag team in the world, His Lordship Jonathan Boyd & his partner the right honorable George Barnes. And finally from the pearl of Africa,to show you even the least civilized of our members have more dignity than your degenerate citizens i bring the most feared man in wrestling...Kamala! The re-education of America has begun Mr Caudle, i suggest you think carefully on rather you mean to be part of the solution...or the problem. (Foley leaves to resounding boos) BC: Quite the character isn't he folks? Let's send it down to the ring for our next match. Match #3 "Downtown" Denny Brown defeats The Executioner (George South) with a Oklahoma roll. Commercial-Promo for Greensboro (Bob Caudle hypes the U.S Tag Title match tomorrow night in Greensboro. We see pre-recorded comments from The Midnight Rockers. They say they've got the Andersons number & they know that with 20,000 fans behind them in Greensboro they will become the new NWA United States Tag Team Champions) Match #4 The Great Kabuki defeats Mike "Action" Jackson with a thrust kick. Commercial-Promo for Greensboro BC: Wrestling fans tomorrow night in Greensboro for the first time ever it's "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs Tully Blanchard in a match that's been on everyone's dream list. Here's some pre-recorded comments from the "Macho Man" (VTR- Savage is bench pressing a surprisingly large set of weights. Ms Elizabeth sees the camera & when safe,alerts Savage to their presence. Savage racks the weight & stares directly into the camera) RS: Tully Blanchard...the Macho Man is gonna be honest with ya,this is one I've been looking forward to for some time now yeah. Ya see no matter where the Macho Man goes people ask "Mr Savage who do you want face in the squared circle?" "Mr Savage do you ever plan on facing so-and-so?" And you better believe your name came up more than once in those conversations. In fact even if you hadn't done what you did in Raleigh I dare say we would've found a excuse to do this sooner or later. And maybe that's why you decided to stick your nose into the Macho Man's business,maybe that's why you decided to go ahead and make yourself some friends. Maybe you figured "Hey if it's gonna happen anyway I may as well start it on my terms" and you know what Blanchard? The Macho Man can actually respect that. But that doesn't mean the Macho Man is gonna lay down for it no sir,tomorrow night in Greensboro North Carolina you my friend have to walk that aisle,climb into that ring & STARE STRAIGHT INTO THE EYES OF MADNESS! And when you do you'll know that what you did in Raleigh will be the last mistake you ever make in a wrestling ring. And once I'm done with you I'm moving onto what you tried to keep me from. Yeah Flair,Hawk it doesn't matter which one of you leaves the main event victorious because whichever one of you leaves with that title has a date with the Macho Man! Oooooh Yeeaaahh! (VTR ends) Match #5 "Chief" Wahoo McDaniel defeats Mick Foley with a Tomahawk Chop. Commercial-Bob Caudle runs down the card for tomorrow night in Greensboro.

They also reveal that Lucifer's "minions" have been banned from ringside) Main event NWA World Television Championship vs Lucifer's mask "Total Package" Lex Luger defeats Lucifer with the "Torture Rack". All hell breaks lose after the bell. As Luger goes to remove the mask Kabuki & P.O.P storm the ring and pounce on the exhausted champion. Security & lower card wrestlers try to help but are laid out as soon as they enter the ring. Lucifer gets to his feet looks at the destruction his men are causing,shrugs & removes his mask. The last thing the fans at home see is utter chaos,bodies flying all over the place,Luger lying in a heap & in the middle of it all...laughing like a madman...stands Kevin Sullivan.

Interestingly Lucifer seems particularly enraged to see McDaniel) "Total Package" Lex Luger & "Chief" Wahoo McDaniel defeat Lucifer & The Great Kabuki by DQ when Kabuki sprayed McDaniel with the "Asian mist" in front of the referee. The Powers of Pain ran down & we get a 4-2 beatdown until The Can-Am Express rush in for the save. After being helped to his feet & given a bottle of water to flush out his eyes,Wahoo grabs the house mic & demands Lucifer & co to a 8 man tag right then and there! Lucifer converses with his men...& accept! Leading to...

The fighting continued after the bell & in all the chaos Dillon somehow ended up in isolated in the ring allowing the Road Warriors to hit the hated manager with the Doomsday Device to send the crowd home happy.

A Rich throwing a fit is guaranteed to get the crowd going. WOW! I never imagined Scott Armstrong bringing in Adrian Street. Ms Linda may be able to hold off Woman but Street may want to look into getting someone to keep an eye on Man. A successful return for the Nightmares. Like the crowd chanting "cheater" LOVE that Embry's response was to remind everyone that he's still a crybaby! Oh boy! The Rich's are champions again. CCW is gonna have to hire extra security. Rhodes has the title match well in hand but I.H.o.H saves Khan. Lucky Magnum has his trusty bat on hand. Budro is wise to Sherri's tricks...or he just heard Adonis coming. Either way Adonis had better shape up! Especially since because of him, Sherri couldn't be there for the Super Ds. Hmm...one night without RPG & Stubbs is remembering how to be a sportsman. Gonna keep an eye on this. Night of Champions delivers big!

I imagine some mixed emotions from the MACW faithful after the battle royal. On one hand one of theirs won,on the other it's a damn commie! Orton just couldn't compensate for Dillon. Much like Dillon in the previous match Heenan proves the weak link in his team. Santana gets overzealous & that allows Mr Wonderful to become the first NWA World Television Champion. Sarge/Garvin may not have had much "juice" going in but I'm sure they won the crowd over. Wildfire leaves Greensboro a double champion. Again I can picture some mixed reactions. Patera is the home team guy but he & Heenan are just such dicks. Flair/Piper is the slugfest it needed to be. Which makes the technical ending something of a pleasant surprise. A superbly booked Final Showdown provides the perfect ending to the MACW/Georgia war. I just wanted to say I've enjoyed working with you. I hope you find a way to continue on the site even if you have to start a stand-alone topic I'd read it.

Hey guys just wanted to say a couple of things. First, Thank you all for the feedback on my version of MACW so far. It really means a lot cause I really want to do this roster justice. I'm working with some of my all time favorites + I'm getting to run shows in my home state. Second, I'm using wrestlingdata to structure my house shows. When possible I'll be running a show in the town/venue run on that date irl. This comes with a couple issues however, It seems that in September 86 MACW was trying to expand into the rust belt & so didn't make many trips Georgia & Virginia while still visiting the Carolinas regularly. For the moment I'm just skipping the out of territory dates hence why I only ran 2 house shows last week but eventually I hope to replace at least some of them with shows in GA & VA. Finally, After doing due diligence on the building. I've determined that the Albany James H Gary Sr Civic Center in Albany GA is to big a venue to run air TV from. As such I'm moving the 9/24 TV show to the Cumberland County Memorial Auditorium in Fayetteville NC. I picked this site as it's closer in size to the venues I've already used for tv while the venue in Albany is closer to sites like the Charlotte Coluseam. To be clear MACW will visit Albany at some point it just won't be next Saturday. Sorry if this got kinda long but I felt a explanation was in order. Thanks for reading & I hope you enjoy what's too come.

Due to pre-existing reasons the previous trade between MACW & AWA is canceled. MACW will be sending Kerry Brown in exchange for Wahoo McDaniel instead.

MACW sends Dick Slater to AWA for Wahoo McDaniel.

I think I speak for everyone when I say i hope RPG is found unharmed. Embry totally doesn't sound like a crybaby complaining about the fans calling him a crybaby. Looking forward to the match with Prichard. Oh no! Luscious & crew have a falling out with Gordy...I mean Gordon. Whoever Scott picked had better come prepared. The Dream takes it upon himself to announce Halloween Havoc & issue a open challenge... but first he has to survive Killer Khan! The Fiesta Garden is back & just as hilariously irreverent as ever! Al's right Sherri's ora-er I mean negotiation skills are clearly unmatched! Adrian Adonis is a major challenger for Budro. But the thing I'm most excited about is Madril letting slip the return of the Starr Corporation! Yes! I remember being so excited about this during your last run. Night of Champions is stacked to the rafters! Love,Tommy's new shirt,so fashion forward that Rich. What a way to take us off the air,The Armstrongs family massacre! And of course The Bullet gets caught in it too.

"Iron" Scott McGee debuts with a win. Vin Man reminds everyone that he's more than just a (highly entertaining) mouthpiece. Estrada shows Putski why he's El Jefe! Love the Bruise Brothers but Cash should know better than to take on Ox's beasts at anything less than 100%. A Larry Z win guarantees a pissed off crowd. Idol takes the easy way out then tries to injure the King anyway. Jarrett may have to hire extra security next time Idol is on the card. Ok. Colon has gone crazy a couple times now but GODDAMN! At this point I'm half expecting the crowd to turn on him. Some might call this card a bit top-heavy...but who cares cause the top was awesome!

MACW Live @ the Dorton Arena in Raleigh,NC (9/18/86) 6 Man Gauntlet match (winner challenges Eric Embry for the NWA World Jr Heavyweight Championship in Greensboro) Round 1 "Mr Excitement" Johnny Ace defeats "Golden Boy" Chick Donovan with the "Ace Crusher" Round 2 Chris Benoit w/JR Foley defeats Johnny Ace with a Tiger Suplex. Round 3 Chris Benoit defeats "Downtown" Denny Brown when Foley hit Brown with his army helmet behind the referee's back. Round 4 El Santo Negro defeats Chris Benoit when Foley tried to use his helmet again but accidentally hit Benoit instead! Final round El Santo Negro defeats "Gorgeous" Gary Royal with a La Magistral cradle. El Santo Negro challenges Embry in Greensboro! Santo is celebrating when Embry comes out of the crowd & nails him with the title! Embry makes like he's leaving but thinks better of it & delivers a PILEDRIVER ON THE TITLE! Officials rush to check on Santo as Embry leaves to deafening boos. Harts Afire (Bruce & Keith Hart) defeat The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian & The Warlord) w/Lucifer by DQ when Lucifer attacked Bruce while he had Warlord in the "Hartbreaker" Leglock. We get a 3-2 for a bit until Lex Luger runs down to even the odds. The Hart's regroup & help Luger clear the ring. Lucifer & P.O.P regroup with Kabuki making his way down but after seeing Luger & The Hart's ready to continue the fight Lucifer decides to lead his men away. If the Midnight Rockers win both matches they recieve a NWA United States Tag Team Title match in Greensboro. Marty Jannetty defeats Arn Anderson w/JJ Dillon by c.o when dropkicked Anderson over the top rope & Anderson couldn't answer the 10 count. Shawn Michaels defeats Ole Anderson w/JJ Dillon by countering a Gordbuster attempt into a inside cradle for a surprise 1..2..3! Ole was so pissed Dillon had to restrain him from decking the ref! (The arena explodes as "Ironman" roars over the pa system. The Horsemen come down to "Also Sprach Zarathustra" wearing matching sequence robes with "Four Horsemen" across the back. Mostly boos but some cheers mainly from teenage boys & single women) The Four Horsemen ("Nature Boy" Ric Flair & Tully Blanchard) w/JJ Dillon & Baby Doll defeat The Road Warriors (Animal & Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Hawk) w/"Precious" Paul Ellering. A wild finish sees all 4 men in the ring (Animal & Blanchard are legal) Hawk & Flair are brawling in the corner with the ref trying to separate them... Dillon tries to enter the ring but is pulled off by Ellering & we get a chase around the ring... Animal military pressed Blanchard but Baby Doll sneaks in & uppercuts him square in the uprights! Hawk knocks Flair to the floor & follows him out. This proves a mistake as it allows the ref to see Blanchard to barely get Animal with a slingshot suplex for the win. Blanchard & Flair continue to attack the Road Warriors after the bell with The Andersons coming down & joining in with even Ellering taking some hits. The Midnight Rockers try to make the save but Dillon starts wracking guys with his shoe. The Horsemen continue the beatdown focusing largely on Hawk. Suddenly the crowd goes crazy as RANDY SAVAGE RUNS DOWN SWINGING A CHAIR! THE HORSEMEN HIT THE FLOOR AS SAVAGE SWINGS FOR THE FENCES! Savage grabs the mic. "Hey Blanchard! Bet you felt pretty slick last week huh? Yeah bet you felt like a real big man helping your new boyfriend get one over on the Macho Man. But what you've really done is place yourself smack dab IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANGER ZONE!!! You see i talked to guys in charge and got it signed,sealed & delivered. Next Week in Greensboro it's Tully Blanchard 1-on-1 with the Macho Man Randy Savage! Enjoy these next 7 days Blanchard because they're all you've got left" Savage throws the mic down as the fans are losing their minds! Blanchard is also losing his mind but for a decidedly different reason!

Damb Crockett dropping bombs to start the show! The creation of the NWA World Television Championship! So much bad blood between Flair & Piper he had to call the cops! Mulligan & Koloff trying to kill each other. That's some good TV right there. Nature Boy bringing the fire! Race shuts down a game Youngblood then basically appoints himself the final member of team MACW. Love it. Nice ruleset for the Showdown match. Throw in major steaks & you've got a match that could sellout by itself. Gutsy of Roberts & Slater to defend their titles just 24 hours before the Final Conflict. And against the U.S Champ no less! Hope it doesn't bite them.

Nice to see Tojo & Kendo stick together.(pun intended) Somebody is gonna have to do something about these damn Yankees. The Snake derails the Freight Train. Gibson gets his payback & now can focus on getting another title shot. Give Bart credit, He called out Brody & he went for it. Johnson finally wins Mid-South championship thanks to the triumphant return of Dick Murdoch! Fergie with a questionable call...I'm sure it's fine. He's still learning. Scott Casey & Sunshine make a splash early as they got "Gorgeous" Jimmy looking like a deer in headlights. Looking forward to the fallout from this. Also nice touch having the crowd hoping for Gordy.

We start the show with a huge announcement from Jarrett,Rock n Roll vs The Fabulous Ones in a best of 7! Savoldi fails his first attempt at revenge against Vin Man's Family. Better luck next time. Charland vs Garvin In a Taped Fist match? I'm there! I have to agree with Cabin Fever that Priceless may be celebrating just a bit too early. A pissed off Ox & Hayes aren't good for anyone especially Snuka. Haystacks may have just sent The Cobra back to Japan permanently. The Iceman arrives & gets on everybody's good side by irritating Brenda. Interesting explanation by The Union. This "real American" angle has promise. Idol is his usual humble self heading into another match with the King. Colon & Singh are ready to end this! Wonder what Larry Z wants with Perez. Horner gets carried away whipping Greg's ass & gets himself counted out! The World Champion sends us off with a clear message too his challenger.

MACW TV Friday September 17th 1986 On Commentary: Bob Caudle & Tony Schiavone Ring Announcer: David Crockett From the Memorial Auditorium in Spartanburg, SC (The show opens with footage from last weeks show in Norfolk. Scenes include The Midnight Rockers brawling with the Andersons, The Road Warriors nearly decapitating Buzz Sawyer with the Doomsday Device, Nikita Koloff becoming the NEW NWA United States Champion & Finally Tully Blanchard interfering in the main event helping Ric Flair defeat Randy Savage & establishing himself as the newest Horsemen. We then see the opening montage set to "The Hit" by Richard Myhill followed by the joint NWA/MACW logo before cutting to Caudle & Schiavone) BC: Wrestling fans welcome to another episode of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling,Wrestling's most exciting hour sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance, The very finest pro wrestling in the world. I'm Bob Caudle alongside Tony Schiavone & Tony the response to the return of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling has surpassed all expectations. TS: You're excactly right Bob. Mid-Atlantic has been basically the talk of the wrestling world for the past week especially since the events in Norfolk. Tully Blanchard emerging as the newest Horsemen helping Ric Flair win another shot at Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Hawk. Nikita Koloff answering Kerry Brown's open challenge & becoming the new NWA United States Champion to the shock & frankly the dismay of just about everyone. We'll see him in action later this hour as well as the masked man known as Lucifer who has been causing chaos with his seeming allies The Powers of Pain & The Great Kabuki. Also we'll hear from the now fully powered Four Horsemen, I'm sure they'll have a lot to say. BC: They usually do but before all that we start today's episode with the long awaited debut of Jerry Bryant & "Big" Lou Winston, Spartanburg Vice! Match #1 Spartanburg Vice (Jerry Bryant & "Big" Lou Winston) defeat Cruel Connection (Gary Royal & George South in masks) when Bryant slammed CC#1 then tagged in Winston who came off the second rope with a elbow for the win. Big "hometown" pop. *Commercial-Bob Caudle runs down the MACW live events for the coming week. (We return to footage from last weeks episode showing the arrival of "Lucifer". A voice-over from Caudle tells us this is after the show went off the air. We see Luger trying to fight back with the crowd's support but he's cur off by the "Asian mist" from Kabuki & a shot with the NWA World Television Title belt by Lucifer. We then see footage from Norfolk where the masked man aligned himself with the Powers of Pain. We cut to Caudle joined by Lex Luger) BC: Wrestling fans with me is the NWA World Television Champion Lex Luger. Lex congratulations are in order but I don't imagine you've been in a celebratory mood. LL: Bob Caudle i haven't had even tried to celebrate this title win because all I've been able to think about is those 2 freaks jumping me after I won fair & square. Well Lucifer i don't have the patience to spend weeks or months playing detective trying to figure out who you are so i went to the matchmakers & we arrived at a agreement, next week in the main event its me & you this title vs your mask! I'm putting a end to this before it even starts. (Luger storms off) BC: Well wrestling fans there you have it. Lex Luger wasting no time trying to find the real identity of Lucifer. Speaking of whom he's in action right now let's send it to the ring. Match #2 Lucifer w/The Great Kabuki & The Powers of Pain defeats Curtis Thompson after hanging him in the "Tree of woe" then going to the opposite corner & charging back across with a knee. Caudle & Schiavone both agree there's something familiar about the man but can't put their fingers on it. (Or so they say,one gets the feeling however they're afraid to say who they're thinking of) Commercial+Promo for tomorrow night in the Dorton Arena in Raleigh,NC (We return to thunderous boos as Caudle is joined by the Koloffs. Nikita is gripping the United States title by the end of one strap causing the other to drag across the ground) BC: Wrestling fans I'm joined by...(Ivan yanks the mic towards him) IK: This people know who Koloffs are Comrade Caudle & they know that nephew Nikita is rightful NWA World Heavyweight Champion still. At Beach Brawl rules say clearly that winner is one who make opponent say "I Quit" (Ivan stares directly into Caudle's eyes) Did nephew Nikita quit comrade Caudle? (Ivan asks politely enough but the look on Nikita's face makes it clear Caudle had best choose his words carefully. With a gulp Caudle answers) BC: N-no Nikita did not quit. IK: And yet corrupt NWA officials steal Nikita's title & hand to handpicked puppet Magnum T.A. Nikita never quit so Nikita is still true Champion. BC:(casts a nervous glance Nikita's direction) With all due respect your nephew passed out... IK: Nonsense! Nikita was merely using advanced escape technique because Magnum try to hang Nikita like common criminal. Magnum T.A should be in prison but that is beside the point. Nikita was preparing to free himself when referee stop the match because their ignorant American mind couldn't comprehend superior Russian strategy. (Ivan looks set to continue but Nikita pulls the mic his way) NK: Magnum T.A...Nikita will not deny you are great athlete...one could almost forget you are American. But you know you did not beat Nikita. You know you CAN NOT defeat Nikita. You KNOW you are but paper champion.

Commercial+promo for Raleigh BC: Wrestling fans tomorrow night in Raleigh there will be a 6 man gauntlet with the winner challenging my guest Eric Embry for the NWA World Jr Heavyweight Championship next week in Greensboro. Mr Embry any comments. EE:(Rolls his eyes) First of all Bob Caudle I am "Flamboyant" Eric Embry & I will be addressed as such. Second the fact that this gauntlet is happening is a disgrace cause ain't none of these clowns deserve a chance at the most Radiant Champion in the NWA. (Embry's smug expression falls as a chant of "crybaby" breaks out) BC: With respect this gauntlet has some of the finest Jr Heavyweight talent in the world. Listen to these names. El Santo Negro, Chris Benoit,Denny Brown,Chick Donovan,Johnny Ace & Gary Royal. EE: Well Chick & Gary are my kinda guys, I might not mind having to share a ring with either of them. But the rest are just 1 big joke. A Mexican jumping bean in a Halloween mask, A Canadian midget i never heard of, A guy about as "exciting" as watching paint dry &... wait who was the other guy again? BC: Denny Brown who... EE: Oh Yeah him. He's a...wrestler...I guess? Look the fact is not one of em has the talent, the charisma & especially not the look to replace me at the head of this division.
