I use a program called Art AI. I paid a onetime lifetime fee for it and have had decent results so far with it. If there is something you need, let me know and I will see what I can do for you.

Championship Wrestling brings Tony Falk to West Virginia.

Don't get me wrong, it is a great piece of artwork - if you created it from scratch, used AI or pilfered it from some place. Just know that San Antonio IS NOT a cold weather place ... unless it was used to promote Mortal Combat or something.

I remember heavy metal/hard rock music in Texas at this time, so the gimmick would get over. I ask a question ... Tell me you've never been to San Antonio without telling me you've never been to San Antonio? The answer ... The Sub Zero poster. Nice piece of artwork, but that made me laugh when I saw it.

Sorry to see this one not get off the ground. Having written the early days of ECW/Eastern elsewhere, this is always near and dear to my heart. I have found in the past that people do their best work early on and the longer things go before actually launching, the less likely it is to actually get off the ground. My suggestion would be to find an area you might be more familiar with or that might be easier to write.

Enjoying the Playboy Club with Scotty and the way out there, Stevie. Can Scotty rein him in before it becomes too late for them as a team to function? We need to see more Tina Ferrari involvement here. Crybaby Chris is a great gimmick which we know Candido can pull off. Looking forward to more of this.

The smiling Shane talks about today’s match against Itchy Richie of the Crazee’s but has to admit it is hard not to look past this match and to next week’s final, whether it is the Bodacious Pretty Boy or Wild Dog … The fans cheer as Wild Dog makes his way out to join Cruise and Morton. Wild Dog says that’s good to hear that Shane is looking forward to next week’s final because he’s winning today and will be in the finals, too … Not so fast! Here comes Tasha who looks like she’s got something to say! First of all, to get to Shane Morton next week, Wild Dog has to go through Pretty in Pink’s Bodacious Pretty Boy and don’t think for one second BPB is going to just lay down and roll over for you … she accentuates her point with a finger in Wild Dog’s chest. If Wild Dog thinks he’s getting a win here today … HE IS MISTAKEN! HERE COME THE CRAZEES! HERE COMES PRETTY IN PINK! - We’ve got a brouhaha in the studio that has Chris Cruise ducking for cover as he throws it to a commercial break! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - We come back with everyone cleared out of the studio as we ready for our first match. Cruise explains what went down in the opening segment and was broken up by security and wrestlers from the back. - TV Title Tournament Match: Wild Dog versus The Bodacious Pretty Boy w/Tasha. Referee Nate Whitlock banishes the two other members of Pretty in Pink from ringside as neither has a manager’s license which Tasha disputes but is on the losing end of that argument. Without her men there, Tasha does her best to give her man an unfair advantage and she does just that as she distracts the referee at opportune times, trips up Wild Dog and puts BPB’s foot on the ropes when he is nearly pinned. Tasha is able to slip the Pretty Boy a chain which he uses to choke his opponent and uses it to cold cock Wild Dog and pin him for the victory. Tasha is able to get the chain as the Pretty Boy pins an unmoving Wild Dog for the 1! 2! 3! - Tasha and the Bodacious Pretty Boy celebrate outside the ring but get out of there as quickly as possible to the fans booing them. The referee helps Wild Dog who appears not to know where he is. ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - Back from commercial and the fans are excited as Cruise talks about Championship Wrestling and runs down the weekly house circuit and where to catch all the upcoming action.

Evened up sides as Chris Cruise talks about how each man got to this match with the winner moving on to the finals to face The Bodacious Pretty Boy of Pretty in Pink. The more experienced Morton eventually takes over the match and gets Richie in all kinds of trouble. Lil’ Frank tries to help his Crazee partner which doesn’t work out so well when Morton grabs both and bangs their heads together. We get a double dropkick as Tony Williams gets involved and they send the Crazees through the ropes to the outside. Morton with a crossbody block to the outside takes out both Crazees out on the floor! - From this point it is all Morton who wins with a big elbow drop from the top for the three count! Shane Morton with the win faces off against The Bodacious Pretty Boy right here NEXT WEEK with the winner crowned TELEVISION CHAMPION! With the fans cheering in the background, Chris Cruise signs off with a reminder to come back next week for more Championship Wrestling!

Good weekend of wrestling going there. Very good wrestling matches on TV. Perfect end to the week.

The Al Madril segment was kinds of fun. The Perry Mason reference was priceless then Madril hightailing it out of there before having to explain anything (even Ali vs. Frazier case) made it even better. This is opening segment gold. Lots of a**holes dropped on TV - 1991, I'm thinking that isn't happening. Memphis Mafia stirs up a bit of trouble, moreso adding Tommy Gilbert to the mix. They will have their hands full at the Birmingham show despite Bill Dundee declaring he won't wrestle his son. The rest of the team has more than enough firepower to handle a very young Jamie. Pistol Pez worked Embry like a rube to get that eventual shot at the title. The rest of the Birmingham card looks super solid.

Out alone this time, she goes on a rant about the greatest trio of wrestlers put together in all of professional wrestling being left out of the tournament for the Television Title. She calls it criminal and says she will take this grievance all the way to the State Athletic Commission if she has to! She wants answers! Cruise tells her not to lose hope just yet … with one match after our opener, two of her men may still make it yet! Two of her men? Cruise says they could be facing each other in our Main Event, the final match in the opening round! Tasha throws a hissy fit as Chris Cruise throws it to a commercial break! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - TV Title Tournament Match: Wild Dog versus the Mountain Dew Kid.

Cruise and Morton talk about the tournament as well as young Tony Williams – Morton thinks the young man is going to be a good one, he just needs the experience. - It is a close match which frustrates the Pretty Boy who leaves the ring several times, even risking being counted out which would allow Williams to move on in the tournament. Tasha screams at the referee, complaining about her man’s hair being pulled. The Bodacious Pretty Boy gets back into the match, cuts a few corners to take control of the match. He gets a pin attempt near the ropes but Williams gets his foot on the ropes. Tasha smacks the foot off, unseen by the referee who counts to three, giving the win to the Pretty in Pink member. - After the match, both Tony Williams and Shane Morton plead Williams’ case but to no avail as referee Bruno Laurer didn’t see any funny business. With the fans booing the match decision in the background, Chris Cruise signs off with a reminder to come back next week for more Championship Wrestling!

It is a brave thing to do putting Abby on tv.

Is the same show run through the entire house circuit? Just wondering because it is a very good show.

Welcome back to the fold Have to say as an independent, i am a little disappointed there is really NO local flavor. As a long time Texas resident during this time period, I always look forward to what others bring from the lone star state. My other beef would be with how Chris Von Erich was used. With his small size, asthma and brittle bones, his opponents were handpicked with him going up against Percy Pringle in tag matches. That match probably landed him in in the hospital.

Nice rundown and best points of USWA 1990. Really good way to see what went down the previous year and who was involved in all the top storyline. Because of all his involvement, I believe the top guy should have been Lawler regardless of record.
