Looking forward to what I can bring to West Virginia.

Merry Christmas + Happy Holidays all.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the two new promotions (Southeastern and Extreme). Looking forward to the new offerings with SECW already seemingly off to a good start.

Voiceover: It’s time for Championship Wrestling on WOAY-TV, Channel 4! John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” plays to wrestling action to kick off the program. Championship Wrestling December 21st, 1990 TV Taping - WOAY-TV, Channel 4 Studios Oak Hill, West Virginia Announcers: Chris Cruise Referee: Bruno Laurer & Nate Whitlock - Host Cruise welcomes everyone to Championship Wrestling before being joined by Rob Van Winkle who appears to be lost. The studio is decorated for Christmas which is right around the corner! - Cruise tries to get control of the situation but Van Winkle says he was looking for the bathroom and wound up here instead. Cruise asks how long RVW has been wrestling and the man counts “two” on his fingers before replying “2 matches”. Cruise stifles a snicker and says that explains things. Van Winkle nods his head in agreement before saying he’s here to face the best competition, afterall, how hard can it be? How hard indeed? - After RVW wanders off, Cruise talks about today’s program and the tag team rematch from two weeks ago between Pretty in Pink and the team of Shane Morton and Tony Williams. Should be a good one, so stay tuned! Chris Cruise throws it to a commercial break! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - Johnny Hotbody versus Lil’ Frank w/Itchy Richie. The pink clad Hotbody finds Frank to be an elusive opponent as he tries to power him around the ring. Frank tests his luck once too often and is caught by Hotbody for a running powerslam to pick up the victory. - Following the win, Hotbody joins Cruise and runs down Cruise and the fans before going on a tirade about being the roughest and toughest guy (in pink no less) in these parts. ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - Back from commercial and the fans are excited as Cruise talks about Championship Wrestling and rundowns the weekly house circuit and where to catch all the upcoming action. - Pretty in Pink w/Tasha versus Shane Morton & Tony Williams. It’s the rematch everyone has been waiting for with the fans cheering the high-fiving Morton and Williams and booing Tasha’s troops. Both teams get right to it with all four men battling it out inside and outside of the ring. Both teams fight for control back and forth with Tony Williams being double teamed until a hot tag brings in Shane Morton who clears the ring as the fans go wild. All four men go at it inside the ring when the match resumes … WAIT THAT’S JOHNNY HOTBODY … AND HE’S GOT A CHAIR! JOHNNY HOTBODY’S JOINED PRETTY IN PINK! Hotbody slides into the ring and nails both Morton and Williams across the back at Tasha’s direction. Pink Assassin and Bodacious Pretty Boy hold down Williams as Hotbody drops the chair on him before leaping into the air and landing across it with a legdrop that leaves the young man writhing in pain. HERE COMES THE COMMISSIONER! HERE COMES WILD DOG! HERE COMES SCOTTY SUMMERS! We have pandemonium in the ring as the fans boo in the background as Chris Cruise signs off after wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a reminder to come back next week for more Championship Wrestling!

Downtown Bruno is in West Virginia as referee Bruno Laurer. As is Johnny Hot Body under the name Johnny Weiss.

Voiceover: It’s time for Championship Wrestling on WOAY-TV, Channel 4! John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” plays to wrestling action to kick off the program. Championship Wrestling December 14th, 1990 TV Taping - WOAY-TV, Channel 4 Studios Oak Hill, West Virginia Announcers: Chris Cruise Referee: Bruno Laurer & Nate Whitlock - Host Cruise welcomes everyone to Championship Wrestling before being joined by Shane Morton who comes out to a cheer. - Morton talks about last week’s match and the “Phantom Disqualification” when he took the chain Tasha passed on to the Pink Assassin away and was caught with it in his hands following the acting job by the Pink Assassin. He’s not here to complain about it but he is looking forward to going one-on-one with ANY members of Pretty in Pink ... - An angry Tasha comes out and tells Morton he’s got some nerve. Her men wrestled fair and square and Morton brought a chain to the match ... - Hold on … who is this?!?! He introduces himself as The Commissioner and is here to settle what he calls a “Miscarriage of Justice”. Last week, Shane Morton was caught red handed with a chain in his hands and referee Bruno Laurer did the “Right Thing” by Disqualifying him when he turned to find The Pink Assassin laid out. A smug Tasha smiles and claps at the ruling which is booed by the fans. Renesto holds his hands out to try to quiet the crowd, continuing only when they do so. BUT … upon further review, it has come to my attention the chain was actually introduced by Tasha who handed it to the Pink Assassin who had it until Shane Morton wrestled it away. The Pink Assassin flopped to the mat before the referee turned to catch Mr. Morton here “red handed”. With that in mind, I AM REVERSING THE DECISION AND DECLARING SHANE MORTON AND TONY WILLIAMS THE VICTORS AND DISQUALIFYING PRETTY IN PINK! Tasha goes ballistic and the fans cheer the decision!. He again waits for the fans to bring it to a dull roar before continuing … He lets Tasha know that kind of behavior is strongly frowned upon AND has signed a rematch for next week, right here on TV! - Chris Cruise throws it to a commercial break! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - The Crazees versus The Red Terrors. Crazy tag team action with the Lil’ Frank and Itchy Richie holding up to their name before winning the match. - After the match, The Crazees join Chris Cruise for an impossibly frustrating interview that is a real head scratcher. ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - Back from commercial and the fans are excited as Cruise talks about Championship Wrestling and rundowns the weekly house circuit and where to catch all the upcoming action. - Red Dog versus Rob Van Winkle. RVW looks lost right off the bat as he circles the ring before taking a seat and ordering some popcorn. Referee Nate Whitlock comes out to usher him into the ring for the match. Once the bell rings, RVW squares off with the referee who steers him towards his actual opponent, Red Dog. One-sided match that is all Red Dog. He finally wins it with a diving headbutt off the top. A laughing Chris Cruise signs off but reminds everyone to come back next week for more Championship Wrestling!

Championship Wrestling adds Tom Renesto Jr. from the Retired List as the Commissioner.

Liked the Wrestlecade rundown and "How we go here" feature - that's great for new readers or people coming back in after a few months to get caught back up with things (ie. me). The great thing about Memphis and having Lawler at your disposal, if you find yourself falling behind and need to cut the focus in order to catch up, The territory is great for using a smaller roster and concentrating on less people. The Lawler Family versus Jimmy Hart's First Family in my opinion has the most storyline potential

1990 Ivan Koloff could give you some good stuff in the ring. He just has to be up against someone who better suits his style. A high flying luchador is not it. I'm taking Lawler over Kevin Von Erich all day, every day.

That's a lot of wrestling at SuperClash. AWA will be getting their money's worth. Good take home show before SC, getting many of the talents in for selling the big show purposes..

Looks like 1990 comes to an end in the Pacific Northwest and is ready to start up in just a few short weeks. The only thing I would really like to see is the focus narrow to a smaller group of performers rather than 3 weekly shows the highlights the entire (or most of the) roster. You have such a strong roster with so many potential matchups, it would be great to length or give focus to some of the matchups and feuds.

Sting, El Gigante and Flyin Brian is an odd trio but would make for an interesting match to say the least. Not so sure how that would pan out over the long run with Sting and Brian most likely butting heads. The El Gigante interview going bottoms up made me laugh. I could see that happening. Also had a laugh over Nikita ripping a head off. That was the literal picture I had in my head when I read that. Yes, his match will be a war with the Barbarian. Sid with a "kill" to his record - these three spots made me laugh. Funny yes but good descriptors. The short format does it's thing once again and sells the upcoming Starrcade.

Voiceover: It’s time for Championship Wrestling on WOAY-TV, Channel 4! John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” plays to wrestling action to kick off the program. Championship Wrestling December 7th, 1990 TV Taping - WOAY-TV, Channel 4 Studios Oak Hill, West Virginia Announcers: Chris Cruise Referee: Bruno Laurer & Nate Whitlock - Host Cruise welcomes everyone to Championship Wrestling before being joined by referee Nate Whitlock. - Whitlock talks about last week’s match between the Pink Assassin and Tony Williams that ended with all three Pretty in Pink members jumping into the ring and beating down an already beaten Williams before Shane Morton came out and chased them off. With time to look back on all of the chaos, it has been determined the match result has been reversed from a win for The Pink Assassin to a win by Disqualification for Tony Williams … - An angry Tasha comes out and yanks the mic away from Chris Cruise and lets Whitlock and the fans get an earful that the unfair treatment is because they are all jealous of her “Real Men.” She promises to get even with all that would do her and her men wrong … - The fans cheer as Shane Morton and young Tony Williams make their way out. Morton thinks that referee Nate Whitlock made the right choice in overturning The Pink Assassin’s win last week. He also challenge’s Tasha’s “men” to a match with the odds a little more evened up with Morton and Williams challenging Pretty in Pink to a tag team match in the Main Event today! She agrees to the match! - Chris Cruise throws it to a commercial break! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - Scotty Summers versus The Red Terror. Summers lost two weeks ago to a better wrestler in The Wild Dog on TV but turns it around and picks up the win over the masked Red Terror. - After the match, Wild Dog joins Chris Cruise. He’s chomping at the bit to get back into the ring to show all these fans what he can do in the ring. He’s ready, willing and able to take on all comers! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - Back from commercial and the fans are excited as Cruise talks about Championship Wrestling and rundowns the weekly house circuit and where to catch all the upcoming action. - Pretty in Pink w/Tasha versus Shane Morton & Tony Williams. Solid tag team action with quick tags and quicker momentum changes. Rookie Williams gets trapped in the match and double teamed by both members of PiP until Shane Morton is able to get in and clear house. Both teams battle inside and outside of the ring. Back inside, Morton puts a beating on the Bodacious Pretty Boy but has his pin attempt broken up by The Pink Assassin. Tasha directs her men by Shane is able to counter whatever they throw at him. The good guys get some double teaming of their own in before things break down and all four are in the ring brawling. Tasha is able to slip The Pink Assassin a chain but Shane Morton is able to wrestle it away from him. The Pink Assassin falls to the canvas as referee Bruno Laurer turns and sees Morton with the chain in hand standing over the fallen PiP member. The ref calls for the bell immediately, calling for the disqualification of Morton and Williams. Tasha pulls he victorious men from the ring while Morton and Williams plead their case with the referee. The fans boo in the background as Chris Cruise signs off but reminds everyone to come back next week for more Championship Wrestling!

Like this font better. Not sure what you are apologizing for but the short format works for me and gets your idea across and keeps things moving along until you get out of whatever funk has hit you.

Plans for this time around is just a cover. Since we are going into 1991, i thought of either who will be the Breakout star of the year or a possible super fight. I will take suggestions. There will also be several "blurbs" around the page for other territories.
