Autistic Dragon

Young Barry gets a pretty big pin to start the night on a high note for MACW. Hart tries his best but accidentally cost Garvin big time. The Freebirds retain in a heated affair. I was wondering which champions team would implode first & the answer is...simultaneously! JJ screws Hansen & DiBiase out of the World titles putting extra heat on their National Championship match. The big 8 man is here & what an ending as Piper turns on MACW,or maybe just Flair(?) & kicks off a brawl with EVERYONE involved! Battle Brawl delivers huge!

Watts makes it clear that while he can't technically punish Hayes he CAN still put him (& Roberts) in punishing matches & facing Williams & Brody is as punishing as it gets! Of course Hayes has to respond...and of course it's great. Cave man lol. The Shiek's right, his men have more important things to do then answer JR's questions. DiBiase really calls out Ivan's big mouth. Looking from to his vs Nikita. Reed & Roberts almost give away a big money match on free TV. But the fans still get satisfied with a pier-sixer. Nice to see Freight Train somewhere he'll be understood. And once again promo of the night goes to... Ernie Ladd! "Uncle Tom" Johnson really got me. Cuban Lover...love it! And of course a utterly batshit ending hypes us for a stacked Baton Rouge.

Western States Wrestling Episode 17 8/29/86 From the KFDA-TV Studio in Amarillo Texas. Airing live at Noon on WTBS Channel 17. (The usual montage of Western States action set to "Into the fire" by Dokken opens the show ending on a shot of WesWestern States Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta. We cut to Steve Stack standing in front of a joint WSW and NWA banner) Stack: Hello everyone and welcome to another exciting episode of Western States Wrestling at High Noon sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance,the premier governing body of professional wrestling the world over. We're just 8 days away from the Labor Day Spectacular which promises to be a gamechanging night for Western States Wrestling. Every match on today's program will feature wrestlers signed to compete on that event. We'll also be hearing from several others. But before we get to all that i wanna bring in Tojo Yamamoto & Kim Duk (boos as the Japanese duo enter the interview area. Duk is casting a annoyed glare in Tojo's direction) Gentlemen I & several others have noticed a certain tension developing between you two and you both agreed to come out here & air your grievances like professionals. Tojo: Thank you for that very long & boring introduction Mr Steve Stack. Duk-San when you lose to greasy haired pretty boy at big Resurrection event Papa-san feel very sorry for you. Which why I make generous offer to take you under my wing & promise to make you a winner. And while you have not been total failure you not progress like Papa-san expect & I've been getting very frustrated with this & maybe I not handle it well. So I meditate on it and after much contemplating I realize what is the problem(Tojo closes his eyes and takes a deep breath like he's about to do something really difficult) IT'S YOU!!! You are the problem! I can't believe i waste so time & energy trying to make something of a no talent mentality retarded loser like you! (To put a exclamation point on his dressing down Tojo rears back & slaps Duk! Duk looks shocked at first but his expression changes to cold fury & he lunges at Tojo & starts throttling him which gets the crowd cheering until a masked man runs out & blasts him from behind! The masked man, who a Stack identifies as Super Strong Machine beats on Duk for a bit with Tojo getting his shots in. SSM holds up Duk allowing Tojo to get a couple more slaps before driving Duk's head into the announcer's table. The two begin to leave but Tojo get a look like he just remembered something & grabs the mic from Stack) Tojo: Oh by the way...you're fired. (Tojo & SSM leave while security tends to Duk leaving a stunned Stack to send us to the ring) Match 1 "The Haitian Sensation" Tyree Pride defeats The Lone Wolf with the Flying Bodypress. Commercial-Steve Stack runs down the altered Western States live event schedule for the coming week. (We return to Steve Stack joined by Radiance. Embry boasts that it literally makes no difference who answers his open challenge because there's no Jr Heavyweight who even remotely compares to him. Somers vows to win the "Golden Opportunity" battle royal & add more gold to Radiance thereby doing what should be impossible, making them even more beautiful! Throughout the interview the audience is loudly chanting "crybabys") Match 2 The Fort Bragg Brotherhood defeat The Texas Outlaws when Outlaw#2 submitted to Kirchner's Cobra Clutch.

Bell time 3pm tickets still available! Before the main event Stack reminds the audience that because of the Labor Day Spectacular there will be no episode of Western States Wrestling or show at the Sports Arena next Sunday. Main event The Wild Bunch (Kendall Windham & "Dirty" Dutch Mantel) vs Devastation Inc (Killer Tim Brooks & One Man Gang) w/"General" Skandar Akbar ends in a No Contest as Karachi Vice & The Long Riders all interfere. The final visual is all 8 men throwing hands as Stack hardsells the Labor Day Spectacular one last time.

I find myself questioning The Golden Boys intelligence actually WANTING a match with Ox's Beasts. Soviet Steel may not have intended to put The Union & Olympians at odds but they've managed it anyway. Wahoo outwrestling Bockwinkel? I'm respectfully skeptical. Iceman Cometh! Gagne & Valiant are such duches...they're perfect together. Wild six man brawl hypes two of your biggest matches at once. Garvin has to fend off the Wrecking Machine while chasing The Universal Heartthrob. Somebody finally smacks Brenda! Hallelujah! Someone is gonna die when Colon & Singh finally get in the ring. Henning & Adais diverging characters are gonna cost them sooner or later. And a stacked main event sees us off the air with the image of a relentless challenger squeezing the life outta the champion. Great stuff!

Mid-South Wrestling Municipal Auditorium. Shreveport Louisiana. NWA World Heavyweight Championship contender tournament round 1 matches. 20 minute time limit. The Grappler vs Plowboy Frazier While Frazier's size & strength allow him to control portions of the bout the former North American Champion shows himself a level above the fan favorite. Frazier manages a attempt at his legdrop but Grappler slides away at the last second. While Frazier is pulling himself up Grappler climbs the second rope and connects with a lariat for the win. The Grappler advances. The Super Destroyer vs "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch A hard hitting back-and-forth brawl from the get-go. A curious moment occurs when Super D is knocked to the floor and instead of getting back in he crawls under it emerging a few seconds later having apparently found his second wind. It ultimately didn't change the outcome as Super D (2?) went for a suplex which Murdoch countered into his patented Brainbuster. Dick Murdoch advances. "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd vs Junkyard Dog No love loss between the two who tear into each other from minute 1. Both men have their near-wins & make repeated attempts at their finisher. The deciding factor proves to be Ladd's temper. The Big Cat grew increasingly frustrated at his opponents refusal to lay down and die and a 2.9 off a massive clothesline sends Ladd into a fury roaring at the referee & the fans. He eventually calms down long enough to line up a Big Boot attempt but JYD ducks under it. Ladd's momentum sends him into the ropes and as he comes back around he gets caught with the Thump. Junkyard Dog advances. Bob Roop w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka A rematch from a couple of weeks ago it goes in a rather similar way. Snuka's faster/hard hitting style contrasts brilliantly with the cold methodical mat based approach from Roop. A recurring theme is whenever Snuka seems to be building towards a finish Roop catches him & applies a torturous submission hold. Sir Oliver Humperdink though never hesitating to shout instruction/encouragements to his client remains oddly well-behaved. This changes when Snuka goes for the "Superfly" splash. Humperdink climbs onto the apron and grabs Snuka's foot but is shoved off. Snuka dives but Roop has recovered enough alter his position & catch Snuka in the Double Wristlock! Snuka resists as long as possible but ultimately has no choice but to tap out. Bob Roop advances. Non tournament match "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel vs "Sweet" Stan Lane A match who's main purpose is to give the advancing wrestlers time to rest. It never the less proves a entertaining affair. The end comes as Lane goes for a dropkick after shooting Landel into the ropes only for him to hold on causing Lane to hit the mat hard. Landel seizes the opportunity to hit the Corkscrew Elbow Drop for the win. Semifinals. 30 minute time limit. The Grappler vs "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch Nothing too pretty here. They go toe to toe for about 16 minutes with several near falls. The end comes when Murdoch is being lead away from Grappler in the corner allowing him to retrieve something from his tights and put it in his mask. When Murdoch again goes to pull him out of the corner Grappler nails him with a headbutt to advance to the finals. The Grappler advances. Bob Roop w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs Junkyard Dog A classic brawler vs wrestler match-up. Roop frankly outclasses JYD whenever their on the mat while JYD gets the advantage whenever hands start being thrown. Humperdink again plays into the finish but not as he plans. He gets on the apron & tries to hold JYD for a charging Roop but JYD slips from his grasp causing Roop to collide with his own manager! The impact knocks Humperdink to the floor & causes Roop to stagger into the Thump! Non tournament special attraction. The Wild Samoans (no Ladd) vs Black Dynamite ends in a Double DQ when all four men started brawling in the ring & the ref was unable to restore order. Tournament Final. 60 minute time limit. The Grappler vs Junkyard Dog Just 2 men leaving it all out there for a shot at the ultimate prize. They've both had tough roads to get here but they each fight through the pain & exhaustion to deliver a suitability dramatic main event. Grappler manages to load his mask again but JYD avoids the first couple headbutt attempts. He eventually gets desperate & rushes into the corner for another try but JYD dodges & Grappler's head bounces off the top turnbuckle! Grappler is on dream street and wobbles into a Thump for the 1...2...3!!! Challenging for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on September 12th: Junkyard Dog

Some impressive multi-tasking by Orton. Representing Georgia at Battle Brawl & hunting the National Tag Titles will JJ. The special tag match is clearly gonna come down to which team doesn't kill each other first. The Freebirds really shouldn't overlook a team as talented as Steamboat,Youngblood & Wahoo. Even if Wahoo is injured. 2 great hype jobs in 1 day!

Great episode that hypes all the big matches of Battle Brawl 81 & certainly moves any unsold tickets. Wahoo vs Patera for the Mid-Atlantic Championship is money. Wild ending raises serious questions about how Wahoo will fair in his match. Going against the Freebirds at less than 100% is never a good idea.

Mid-South Wrestling is coming to you on Fox on it's affiliates Fox 8 out of New Orleans & WXXV out of Jackson. 8/28-Sat-Mid-South Wrestling Irish McNeil Boy's Club in Shreveport Louisiana. (The Mid-South video slams on screen with quick clips of the top stars ending on a shot of Mid-South North American Champion Mr Wrestling 2. We cut to Boyd Pierce & "Cowboy" Bill Watts at ringside) BP: Welcome everyone to Mid-South Wrestling coming as always from the Irish McNeil Boy's Club in Shreveport Louisiana. I'm Boyd Pierce alongside "Cowboy" Bill Watts & Bill what a show we have for the fans this week but first i understand you've got quite the announcement for us. BW: That's right Boyd. On September 12th we return to New Orleans for our next Superdome Extravaganza & to ensure we provide the best wrestling show every month I've secured not 1 but 2 NWA World champions to defend their titles. After his repeated requests & based off his impressive performances since arriving here Norvell Austin has been granted his opportunity against Tiger Mask for the NWA World Jr Heavyweight Championship. And it gets better because weather it's Harley Race or Ric Flair the NWA World Heavyweight Championship will br defended on the 12th! *Massive pop* BP: That's fantastic news Bill but I gotta know who's going to be challenging? BW: Well Boyd the NWA World Heavyweight Championship is the most prestigious prize in professional wrestling & as such only the most worthy may challenge for it. That's why later today at the Municipal Auditorium right here in Shreveport there will be a one night eight man tournament to determine who'll challenge the champion. The first round matches are as followed... The Grappler vs Plowboy Frazier The Super Destroyer vs "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd vs Junkyard Dog Bob Roop w/Sir Oliver Humperdink vs "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka Tickets go on sale at the end of today's broadcast. BP: An incredible announcement folks & i can't think of a better way to celebrate then with our first match l. (We cut to Reisor Bowden center ring) RB: This is our opening contest set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner from Beyond the light...The Shadow. And in the blue corner from Pascagoula Mississippi weighing 430 lbs Plowboy Frazier! The Shadow vs Plowboy Frazier Really just a tune up for the big man who just knocks the masked man all over the place before finishing him with his big legdrop. A sizeable portion of the crowd joining in on the "yeeee" he let out while dropping the leg. Commercial-Boyd Pierce runs down the Mid-South Louisiana tour schedule for the coming week. RB: This match is set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner from Tombstone Arizona weighing 277 lbs The Bounty Hunter. And in the blue corner from Parts Unknown weighing 240 lbs Mr Olympia! The Bounty Hunter vs Mr Olympia A relatively even bout as Hunter's superior size & pronounced mean streak provides a bit of trouble for Olympia who has to lean into his more scientific side. This proves successful as he wears his opponent down before getting the win via the Figure Four. Post match promo sees Olympia declare his interest in the Mississippi Championship...even though he admits to being weary of Killer Khan. Commercial-Boyd Pierce runs down the Mid-South Mississippi touring schedule for the coming week. RB: This match is set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner from the U.S.S.R weighing 115 kilos Igor Volkoff. And in the blue corner from Roanoke Virginia weighing 218 lbs Ric McCord! Igor Volkoff vs Ric McCord McCord has the crowd firmly behind him as he takes it to the hated Soviet. Though Volkoff gives a decent accounting of himself he's on the backfoot more often than not. The end comes as the referee is getting McCord off of Volkoff in the ropes, while neither the ref or his opponent are looking Volkoff taps the toe of his right boot against the mat and at the earliest chance drives that same boot into McCord's head for the win. Post match promo. Volkoff bristles at any accusation of cheating. It's not his fault if the Americans are too soft to withstand a kick to the head.. *Commercial* RB: This tag team match is set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner from Albuquerque New Mexico weighing 242 lbs Vinnie Romero...and his partner from The Cosmos weighing 238 lbs "The Starrchild" Billy Starr. And in the blue corner with a combined weight of 517 lbs Thunderbolt Patterson & Tony Atlas...Black Dynamite! Vinnie Romero & "The Starrchild" Billy Starr vs Black Dynamite. Romero & Starr's strutting preening & stalling really works the crowd up so much that they explode when Black Dynamite get impatient & charges across the ring and batter the pretty boys from pillar-to-post. After a few minutes Romero gets chucked to the floor while Starr gets launched into the corner. Atlas whips Patterson in after him but Thunderbolt reverses send "Mr USA" crashing into Starr with a clothesline. Atlas then sends Starr into a spinebuster for the win. In the post match promo Black Dynamite have a special request for Bill Watts...they want a rematch with the Wild Samoans! Watts acts like he's mulling it over before asking "How about at the Municipal Auditorium later today?" Black Dynamite look at each other than back to Watts and say "Deal" *Commercial* RB: This is our television main event with tv time remaining. In the red corner from Parts Unknown weighing 260 lbs The Grappler. And in the blue corner from the Fiji Islands weighing 235 lbs "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka! The Grappler vs "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka Big time main event that sees both men try to end it quickly in order to enter the tournament later in the day as freshly as possible. Alas both men fail in this and we get a evenly matched bout with several momentum shifts. It's ultimately the appearance of The Super Destroyer that proves the deciding factor as a well timed trip has Snuka stumble into a Lariat for a tainted loss. Before we go off the air Watts grabs the mic & announces anyone who interferes with the tournament will be suspended indefinitely! In action next week: "Timekeeper" Mike George,Bugsy Mcgraw,"Sweet" Stan Lane & Steve Keirn,Bob Roop. Main event: Junkyard Dog & "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch vs Kansas Jayhawks.

A one night tournament sees one pair of Giant Slayers earn a title match as the other pair falls to the current holders. The Monsters have finally had enough of Medusa's bullshit & leave her on the floor in a heap. A dirty finish heralds the birth of 3 belts Moretti! She's gonna be insufferable & I'm all for it.

Nicely struck balance as you've given night 1 enough to make must watch while still serving as a hook for the more stacked night 2.

First San Francisco. Vic is such a solid opener. Can't get much more "Mean" than a neckbreaker on concrete. Hacksaw puts down the Prince & is closing in on the king. Finlay & The Dog pound get one over on the British trio. Big win for Brickhouse. MXE vs Thunderbirds is one I'd pay to see. Rose escapes St Clair but can he do the same against Duggan. On to Fresno. The Hitman starts the night off with a win for Gary Hart International. Flyin Brian cheers the crowd up with a win over "Ravishing" Randy. The Brigade win a slugfest against G.H.I. Owen gets the victory over Victory in route to his match against "Mr Hollywood". Buisck & Bubba get carried away pounding on each other, sounds about right. Candido will retain his title by any means necessary. Bigelow gets the bruising win over the Anvil. Back to back hits!

Medusa's right, the 8 women tag will be make-or-break, in the sense that the other Monsters may take the opportunity to break her if she keeps this queen bitch routine up. I'm pulling for the Giant Slayers but their gonna have to give it everything they got to beat Wendi Richter &...er...I wanna say...Pammy? Moretti nearly beats herself but recoveres to beat Misty Blue & is ready for Combs. The next Supercard is gonna be explosive, in more than one way.

Tatum gets caught up whining to the ref & costs himself the match. Shame Blackwell didn't think too remove the mask after planting the Yankee. The Patriots are getting their title match! Horrible night for Kassie as not only do all his men lose Reed passes out HIS money! Numbers game catches up to the Soul Man. I sense a rematch. DiBiase vs Nikita for the World Title! Hate to say it but I can kinda see Hayes point, Why bother if the match doesn't count? As a aside Hayes may need Mid-South to shell out to get him some private security. Wild night in the Big Easy.

The Crazy Gang's teamwork (& manager) prove too much for the exciting team of Pillman & Steamboat. Looking forward to those 2 singles matches at Phoenix Firestorm. Megaman shines in defeat. Eddie Gilbert is done screwing around! The Iron Bulls rampage nearly takes out The Thunderbirds but Iron & Steel save the day! Though if I were a Thunderbird I wouldn't trust Iron & Steel either. Rose basically leaves Easy Ed hanging & now may have to worry about St Clair. As if he didn't have enough to worry about with Duggan challenging him in Phoenix. Another great episode.

(The show opens with footage from last weeks show at the Superdome, Where Norvell Austin attacked Mike George under the guise of The Shadow, Killer Khan winning the Mississippi Championship, The Midnight Express winning the Tag Titles with help from Floyd Creatchman & Mr Wrestling 2 winning the North American Championship. We then play the usual opening montage of clips of the top stars now ending on a shot of Mr Wrestling 2. We finally cut to ringside where Boyd Pierce is now being joined by "Cowboy" Bill Watts) BP: Welcome everyone to Mid-South Wrestling coming as always from the Irish McNeil Boy's Club in Shreveport Louisiana. I'm Boyd Pierce and I'm joined by the man in charge of Mid-South "Cowboy" Bill Watts & Bill what a night at the Superdome last week. BW: It certainly was Boyd for reasons good & bad,the bad coming in part due to the man who'd been your partner on commentary the past few weeks Floyd Creatchman who interjected himself into the finals of the Tag Title Tournament & clearly at least to my eyes cost JYD & Dick Murdoch the victory. Now here in Mid-South the referee's decision is final so unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it but I can do something going forward which is why I'll be joining you right here on commentary every week & you best believe I'll be keeping a eye on all the rulebreakers around here. You may be able to sneak one past the ref but you're gonna have to get up pretty early in the morning to get one over on me! BP: Huge news to start us off on a episode where we'll hear from all 3 new champions & their various managers. But before all that let's send it to the ring for our opening contest. (We cut to Reisor Bowden center ring) RB: Our opening contest this week is set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner from Jacksonville Florida weighing 235 lbs..."Nature Boy" Buddy Landel...and in the blue corner from The Acoma Indian Reservation weighing 229 lbs Bobby Bold Eagle. "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel vs Bobby Bold Eagle Eagle manages a good showing but Landel targets the leg slowing the match down considerably before claiming victory with the Figure Four leglock. Landel's cocky strutting really worked up the crowd & even got Watts a little frustrated. Commercial-Boyd Pierce runs down the Mid-South Louisiana tour schedule for the coming week. (We return to Boyd Pierce joined by Floyd Creatchman & The Midnight Express) BP: Ladies and gentlemen my guests at this time are the new Mid-South Tag Team Champions Randy Rose & Dennis Condry along with Norvell Austin & Floyd Creatchman and gentlemen i...(Creatchman snatches the mic away with a indignent look) FC: Really Pierce you get the privilege, the honor of holding our first interview since winning the Mid-South Tag Team Titles and THAT'S how you introduce us? Let me show you how it's really done, *clears throat* Ladies and gent...oh who am I kidding? Things that live in Shreveport I present the greatest three man unit in the history of professional wrestling. Three men who are everything your wives wish you were. Three men who can wrestle every day then party the night away. Three men who have more women coming through their door than a proctolgist, masseuse & plastic surgeon put together. I give you the GREATEST Mid-South Tag Team Champions of ALL TIME "Ravishing" Randy Rose & "Lover Boy" Dennis Condry & the next NWA World Jr Heavyweight Champion "All Night" Norvell Austin...The Midnight Express! *looks dismissively at Pierce* And that's how it's done! (Shoves the mic into Pierce's chest and The MXE leave to thunderous boos) BP: (shaking his head) Folks let's send it to the ring for our next match. RB: This match is set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner from Albuquerque New Mexico weighing 242 lbs Vinnie Romero...and in the blue corner from Charlotte North Carolina weighing 280 lbs Junkyard Dog! Vinnie Romero vs Junkyard Dog JYD had some aggression to get out of his system & just batters Romero from pilla-to-post. After several minutes of Romero's best pinball impersonation he gets damn near put through the mat with the Thump. Commercial-Boyd Pierce runs down the Mid-South Mississippi touring schedule for the coming week. (We return to Boyd Pierce joined by Percy Pringle the 3rd & the entire Pringle Dynasty) BP: I'm being joined by The Pringle Dynasty & Mr Pringle I'd say it was a mixed bag for your men last week at the Superdome. The Kansas Jayhawks were eliminated in the first round of the Tag Title Tournament but your monster Killer Khan captured the Mississippi Championship. PP3: Let's get one thing straight Boyd Pierce. My Jayhawks weren't eliminated by that mangey dog & that pretend cowboy who can't even lace his own boots over the spare tire he drags around everywhere they were eliminated by that crooked official who ignored the obvious cheating. But that can be corrected later for tonight is a night of celebration. I told everyone that Mid-South wasn't ready for my monster and I was right. Nobody in the battle royal was ready, Don Diamond certainly wasn't ready, NO ONE IS READY FOR MY MONSTER KILLER KHAN! And he's going to hold this Mississippi Championship as long as i want him to Boyd Pierce. He's gonna hold this title until he has to give it up after winning the North American championship. Let's go men! (The Dynasty head to the ring) RB: This is a tag team match set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner representing the Pringle Dynasty with a combined weight of 484 lbs, Percy Pringle the 3rd presents..."Dirty" Dutch Mantell & "Hangman" Bobby Jagers...The Kansas Jayhawks! And in the blue corner from Treorchy Wales weighing 15 stone " UK Magician" Tony Charles...and his partner from Bradford England weighing 17 stone Scott McGee! The Kansas Jayhawks w/Percy Pringle the 3rd & Killer Khan vs "UK Magician" Tony Charles & Scott McGee Though Charles's quick offense & McGee more technical style do cause problems one-on-one the Jayhawks superior teamwork & physical style prove too much for the British duo & McGee succumbs to a double clothesline. *Commercial* RB: This non title match is set for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. In the red corner from Mongolia weighing 311 lbs Percy Pringle the 3rd presents the Mid-South Mississippi Champion, Killer Khan...and in the blue corner from Roanoke Virginia weighing 218 lbs Ric McCord. Non title Killer Khan w/Percy Pringle the 3rd vs Ric McCord McCord never stood a chance. The whole match is Khan alternating between clubbing blows & torturous submissions. After several uncomfortable minutes the end comes with a second rope kneedrop which crushes McCord's throat. Medics rush to tend to McCord but they hesitate momentarily as Khan begins walking towards them before being lead away by a cackling Pringle. BP: Tense scene but thankfully the medics are tending to McCord. We all hope he's ok. But on a more positive note ladies and gentlemen please welcome the new Mid-South North American Champion, Mr Wrestling 2! (Mr Wrestling 2 comes down to a massive ovation) MW2: Thank you, Thank you so much. Boyd Pierce I can't tell you how great this feels. For 10 months I & all these fans watched The Grappler sully the reputation of this title. Breaking every rule in the book as long as he could hold onto the gold one more day. Well that time is over. From now on this title will be defended with the dignity it deserves & against all worthy contenders. I don't care if it's Jimmy Snuka, Ernie Ladd, Junkyard Dog or that monster Killer Khan. If you want this title you better be prepared to wage world war 3 because I'm not giving it up for anything less. (Mr Wrestling 2 leaves to another huge ovation) BP: Some fighting words from the new North American Champion. Folks don't go anywhere because our massive main event is next. *Commercial* RB: This is our television main event with tv time remaining. In the red corner from New Orleans Louisiana weighing 320 lbs "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd...and in the blue corner from Waxahachie Texas weighing 288 lbs "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch! "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd vs "Captain Redneck" Dick Murdoch Nothing fancy here just two big bad men beating the hell out of each other. The end comes near the end of tv time. Murdoch is in control as The Wild Samoans prowl to ringside but are intercepted by Junkyard Dog swinging a chair. Unfortunately the ruckus is enough to distract Murdoch enough for Ladd to recover & hit the big boot for the 1..2..3 Next week: In action Plowboy Frazier, Mr Olympia, Igor Volkoff & Black Dynamite. Main Event, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka vs The Grappler.

Henning's delusions of grandeur are gonna get him and Adais killed...and i love it! The Superstar is ready to run the King clear outta the AWA & I think he could do it. White Lighting earns himself a tv title shot but I wouldn't want to face Casey right now. Can't blame Resnick for being scared interviewing Ox & his 3 man murder machine. Priceless learn a valuable lesson about treating waiting staff with respect. Snuka may prove to much of a "freak" for Dream Machine to handle. Like the mini program between the Union & the Olympians over who gets to beat up Soviet Steel. Tony Garea...wrestles. Loving the pair of Larry Z & Haystacks. Rugged Ron vs The Universal Heartthrob for the National Championship on Labor Day! Nuff said!
