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.

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.

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.

Hey guys, I am going to start doing magazine covers from time to time and want to do one for January. If any of you would like to be a part of it, please let me know. Pictures and/or any one you want highlighted from your territory.

Championship Wrestling drops: Boogie Woogie Brown Ken Jugan Sam Cody Terri Powers

Lawler vs Kevin should be a fun one.

Gotta say it ... I hate your font! That serifed font is a bit hard to read in my opinion. I do like the short format though - it gets all the important points across without the minutia. Enjoyed the show that really pumped up the upcoming Clash show - some very big matches that really are must see coming. I was a bit confused on the why of the disqualification - wasn't really explained in the dialogue other than Nikita giving the Alliance "The Business". I'd be pissed if I was Muta, too.

He talks about today’s Power Half Hour and the matches on the program before being joined by a trio in pink. - Pretty in Pink is introduced as the best looking, the best dressed and the best wrestlers in the promotion by the “Mouthpiece”, Tasha. She promises any titles will belong to her and Pretty in Pink! Her so-called “manly men” look anything but that as they flit around in the background while she talks. - Once they leave, Chris Cruise talks about today’s matches … we have The Pink Assassin taking on Tony Williams and in the Main Event, Philadelphia’s Johnny Hotbody faces off against “Itchy” Richie of The Crazees. ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- - The Pink Assassin w/Tasha and the Bodacious Pretty Boy versus Tony Williams. A lot of delaying to kick things off as the masked man refuses to get into the ring, clearly complaining to the referee and Tasha about his opponent while holding his nose. She sprays perfume or something around the ring before The Pink Assassin attacks Williams from behind before the bell. It is one-sided as the cheating Assassin goes to town on the young wrestler. He even gets help from his two compatriots who get in on the act. After Williams is pinned, all three stomp him until ... - Shane Morton hits the ring and Pretty in Pink vacates the ring in a hurry as the fans cheer on Morton who has come to the young Tony Williams’ rescue.

This is far from over! ----- 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. - Itchy Richie w/Lil’ Frank versus Johnny Hotbody. Hotbody with the “Philly Salute” for the fans draws boos. Hotbody struts around the ring trying to draw adulation from the fans but gets just the opposite. Richie isn’t very cooperative during the match, preferring to dance with Hotbody when they lock up which gets the fans behind him. Hotbody with an arm wringer twisting away before Richie can reach the ropes for a break. He heads back to his own corner where Frank grabs the arm and twists it in the other direction, fixing Richie right up. Hotbody has had enough and smacks Frank before laying into Richie and hammering him around the ring. Hotbody sends Richie flying with a big back body drop and follows with a leg drop for a two count. A shoulder butt off an Irish Whip flattens Richie again followed by stomps until the referee breaks it up. Hotbody shoves ref Nate Whitlock out of the way but is almost rolled up for a three count when he doesn’t pay attention to his opponent. Johnny Hotbody’s had enough and stops Itchy Richie in his tracks with an eye rake. Several right hands backs The Crazee into the corner where Hotbody sends him for a ride across the ring. He follows behind with a flying body press in the corner and moves Richie to the center of the ropes for another Irish Whip and meeting in the middle with a flying shoulder that puts both men on the canvas. Hotbody with the cover for the three count and the win. The fans boo in the background as Chris Cruise signs off but reminds everyone to come back next week for more Championship Wrestling!

Referee Bruno Laurer on duty. Wrestling for a Cause and a good one at that as Championship Wrestling helps to raise money for buying turkeys for the Church Food Kitchen to help the homeless and less fortunate on Thanksgiving. - Wild Dog beat Scotty Summers. - The Bodacious Pretty Boy w/Tasha defeated Tony Williams. * - Shane Morton pinned Lil’ Frank of the Crazees. ** A successful find raiser as everyone dug into their pockets, even the wrestlers, to donate to the Church’s cause, bringing in nearly $400 which do well to buffer the kitchen’s coffers and feed more people. * Very evenly matched pair, it was Tasha who was the difference maker. Tony Williams complained to the referee but Laurer said he didn’t see anything. ** Match of the evening between two very athletic men who can go, despite their big lack of experience. Throw in a low ceiling that limited the style of the match but both men shined, coming through to close out the fundraiser.

While this type of promotion is something I have never been able to get into, kudos to you for sticking it out and continuing on the path.

Anytime someone beats Bob Holly, that is a bonus on any card! Bossman with the nightstick for the win is my bet when him and Nailz go at it. Poor Brian Christopher. Isn't the same as wrestling in Memphis. Oh well, he is still learning the ropes. Only a matter of time that things change for him.

Voiceover: You are watching Bluegrass Championship Wrestling on WPSD-TV, Channel 6. Wrestling action to snappy music plays interspersed with images of Kentucky to kick off the program. Bluegrass Championship Wrestling February 16th, 1990 TV Taping - WPSD-TV, Channel 6 Studios Paducah, Kentucky Announcers: Bert Prentice & Ronnie Gossett Referee: Bruno Laurer & Tom Renesto Jr. Host Bert welcomes everyone to Bluegrass Championship Wrestling's Power Half Hour and introduces his co-host. An exciting half hour of action today and Bert gets right to it. He talks about last night’s Kentucky Cup, set in a Gauntlet style one night tournament to crown BCW’s top tag team. We get a “hrumph” from Ronnie Gossett as Bert looks over at his co-host and asks if he has something to add? Something to add? He sure does! He calls the USWA a bunch of cheapskates and by association, Bluegrass Championship Wrestling as well! Bert wants to know how how he came to that conclusion? It’s pretty simple … rather than have a one night tournament for tag team title belts here in Kentucky, they throw in a trophy … a single trophy! Bert pays him no mind and says that speaking of the USWA, they have just announced an upcoming tag team tournament. Should be a good one as tag teams from all across the USWA are invited. We’ll have more info on that in the coming weeks but right now, let’s get the winners of the Kentucky Cup in here … Todd and Shane Morton … The Mortons make their way out carrying the Kentucky Cup. An impressed Bert congratulates them on their win before explaining what it was they actually did, winning a gauntlet style tournament AND were one of the first two teams, running the field to win the Cup. An impressive achievement that Ronnie Gossett thinks is kind of ho-hum as he yawns several times. The Mortons are of course excited and are now setting their sights on something a little higher … THE USWA TAG BELTS! They are ready to throw their hat into the ring and face the very best the USWA has to offer … The biggest member of Tony Falk’s Rookies make his way out. The large face painted man rants and raves about the Mortons cheating and continuously double teaming in their match and the referee favoring them … HE’S READY TO PROVE IT RIGHT NOW AND CHALLENGES THE MORTONS TO A MATCH! Here comes Tony Falk and Frank M. Tony apologizes profusely, telling Big Dave this isn’t the way to do business while little Frank does his best to try to push Big Dave back. Todd Morton says he and Shane didn’t break any rules, they didn’t bend any rules and always do it the way you are supposed to but if Big Dave isn’t happy about the match and he understands that, so if Shane is up to it, he has no problem giving them a rematch today. Shane’s “Hell yeah” made it official! Bert throws it to a commercial break. ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- A camera sweep through the audience finds this pretty fan cheering before we return to Bert and Ronnie who talk about the segment before the break. Ronnie sides with Big Dave who he believes has a legitimate beef with the Mortons. Bert says that is nonsense and the Mortons did not shy away from a rematch here today. Bobby Starr joins our hosts. He says for the last several weeks the creepy Lock has been saying that Starr was the first target on her list and he’s been waiting now patiently to get his hands on whoever she brings in to wrestle, ever since they did what they did to Gary Royal. Bert explains what happened for those not here or can’t remember … as her Tazmaniacs injured Gary Royal before they were banned from Bluegrass Wrestling. Gossett says if it was up to him, he’d toss the whole kit-n-kaboodle because no one but him knows what they will have to deal with in the very near future. Starr says he’s going to do his part to run them out of the territory! HERE SHE COMES! Lock and Oliver Humperdink make their way out. She says Starr won’t have to wait long now as today is his judgment day! Bert wants to know just who is wrestling for her? Her answer is to turn towards Humperdink whose eyes go wide when he realizes it is HIM! Bobby Starr versus Oliver Humperdink w/Lock. Referee Tim Renesto Jr.. Starr is ready to go as soon as he hits the ring while Humperdink is reluctant to even get in the ring but does so at the prodding of Lock. The fans are already cheering on Starr before we get the bell which sounds as soon as Humperdink enters the ring. With the bell, Hump tries to get out of there but Starr yanks him right back in and gets to work. Humperdink is repeatedly floored by running shoulders from Starr. Big dropkick has Humperdink looking for the exit as he slips out of the ring for the safety of the outside. Gossett is loving this, calling it karma for taking the box of chocolates for Tasha Simone. Bert tells him to knock that off. Humperdink can’t escape as Starr with a double sledge to the back as he comes flying off the turnbuckle and the fans are eating it up. Lock tries to intercede but gets pushed out of the way by a man on a mission. Bobby Starr will not be denied his revenge. He hammers away on Humperdink before bouncing his head off the ring apron. Hump gets rolled back inside the ring and Starr makes the cover … 1! 2! NO! BOBBY STARR PULLS HUMPERDINK UP BY HIS HAIR! Humperdink begs and pleads for his life and Starr answers with a knuckle sandwich right between the eyes. Irish whip and Humperdink is caught around the waist on the return. Spinning his body, Bobby Starr plants Hump in the mat and makes the cover … Oliver Humperdink is NOT kicking out of this! Bobby Starr leaves the ring to celebrate with the fans as Lock enters the ring to berate her man for doing absolutely nothing. Starr with a salute, says that one’s for GARY US ROYAL! The fans chant U.S.A. over and over as we need to take a station break! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- Local ad with Tony Falk ... Tony Falk: Do you want to become a wrestler, a manager or a valet? Call the number below and we can get you on the path to stardom! Call today! Back to Bert and Ronnie with Bert celebrating the huge win by Bobby Starr. Gossett wishes Starr had done that to Lock instead … he says kill the head, the rest of it dies! Bert says he is sure this isn’t the last we’ll hear of this and that Lock is probably already planning her next move. Ronnie says Bert doesn’t understand, she’s already three steps ahead! Bert turns his attention our next match, going over how this all came about. The Mortons already hold a win over Falk’s Rookies two weeks ago here on TV as well as a win over them last night in the tournament. They certainly appear to have the Rookies’ number at this point. Ronnie tells Bert to not be so sure because Big Dave certainly looks to have that fire in his belly to beat the Mortons. Bert tells him that is why we have the matches! LET’S GO TO THE RING! Big Dave & Frank M w/Tony Falk versus The Mortons. Referee Bruno Laurer The fans let everyone know who they are cheering on as soon as the Mortons make their way out. Loudest pop of the night for the Kentucky Cup winners who are set to take on their first challengers less than 24 hours after winning! Big Dave runs out from the back and attacks both Mortons before they hit the ring! He hammers away at both before shoving away the referee to continue the beatdown. Tony Falk and Frank rush out to pull Big Dave away. The Mortons gets a break to try to shake off the cobwebs but has the damage already been done? Bruno in the corner issuing warnings before the match has even started, telling Dave he WILL DQ him if he does not heed the referee’s commands! Tony does his best to calm his wrestler and tells Frank to start things off while he talks to Big Dave. Frank and Shane get to it with some chain wrestling with both men taking control. The fans appreciate it the wrestling and let them both know as they share a handshake before getting back to it. Fast tag to Todd Morton and he takes over, taking Frank to the mat and even rolling him to his back for a 1 count. Todd whips Frank across the ring, fast tag and Shane comes flying over the ropes into the ring and flattens Frank with a slingshot clothesline. 1! 2! NO! BIG DAVE BREAKS IT UP! Todd follows with an elbow drop and gets a 1! on the cover. He works a side headlock and moves Frank to his corner where Shane awaits a tag. They switch and Frank is still in a headlock and unable to escape. HERE COMES BIG DAVE! Charging the ring, Dave comes flying in with a big spear! Shane dodges and Dave hits his own partner, flattening Frank and sending him through the ropes to the outside. Dave is looking for blood and turns to Shane Morton … drop toe hold and down goes Big Dave! Slingshot leg drop from Todd Morton before the Mortons both grab one of Dave’s leg and sit back into a double crab hold. The big muscular man powers through and uses the ropes to pull himself forward to gain a break of the hold. Angry Big Dave is grabbed by Tony Falk and admonished by the trainer. Double drop kick sends Dave forward into Falk, knocking him to the floor and landing on him when he goes over the ropes to the outside. Across the ring, a groggy Frank, the legal man in, is brought back into the hard way with a double hip toss. Todd drops Frank across his knee before Shane comes flying off the top rope and lands a leg drop and makes the cover while Todd Morton stands near by ready to thwart any attempt to break it up. We get the 1! 2! 3! The Mortons have beaten Falk’s Rookies once again! That's all the time today as Bert Prentice signs off but reminds everyone to come back next week for more Bluegrass Championship Wrestling!

Big show with lots going on, setting up the future. I feel for Lawler as he is a marked man and now being hunted at every turn. Isn't like the old days with someone coming in to face him, then dispatched until the next challenger is brought in. Now, you have Savage with a contract, you have Dick Slater looking to collect a bounty on Jerry's head and you always have the First Family lingering and waiting for their turn to strike. Lawler needs some friends. USWA with tag titles coming up soon will get some notice in Kentucky with a few teams looking to put themselves on the map. The Mortons and Pretty in Pink are two that wouldn't mind a crack at those belts.

TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! From the Mayfield High School * Mayfield, Kentucky Home of the Cardinals 2.14.1990 1. The Mortons over Tony Falk’s Rookies. 2. The Mortons defeated Wild Dog & Tony Williams. 3. The Mortons got the nod over The Hillbillies. 4. Gypsy Joe and The Cuban Assassin battled to a Double DQ. ** 5. The Mortons won over Pretty in Pink. 1990 Kentucky Cup * Saturday night in Mayfield, Kentucky before a packed house ready for an evening of rasslin’ action! One night tournament for the 1990 Kentucky Cup, a tag team tournament gauntlet match, involving 5 teams. ** Brutal and bloody match with both men “no selling” the other’s moves, beating each other senseless. The referee finally disqualified both when they refused to listen to his commands and get back in the ring.

It's been too quiet in UWF-Land after the pretty decent start AND the creation of the USWA which you are a member of. That's really too bad if this territory was a one and done as there was a ton of potential with not only a decent set-up from the word go, a kick ass roster and as a member of the USWA.

The evil has spread to Memphis! Certainly, yours is more physically imposing than mine but still scary in it's own right. Should go far. Really solid matches throughout the card with the Street Fight, Rhodes/Gilbert and the Southern Title match. Rounding it all out with the well built match between Lawler and Hennig with the wild ending (or non-ending) as The Macho Man gets tossed into the mix. Only complaint, if it is one, too many DQ/Countout/Time Limit Draw finishes for my liking.

Voiceover: You are watching Bluegrass Championship Wrestling on WPSD-TV, Channel 6. Wrestling action to snappy music plays interspersed with images of Kentucky to kick off the program. Bluegrass Championship Wrestling February 9th, 1990 TV Taping - WPSD-TV, Channel 6 Studios Paducah, Kentucky Announcers: Bert Prentice & Ronnie Gossett Referee: Bruno Laurer & Tom Renesto Jr. Host Bert welcomes everyone to Bluegrass Championship Wrestling's Power Half Hour and introduces his co-host. An exciting half hour of action today … After the introduction, Bert takes a long hard stare at Ronnie Gossett sitting beside him, on the table roses and a big red heart. He asks what that’s for? None of his business and speaking of business, can we get Tony Falk out here to talk about his students? Bert lets everyone know that Tony Falk will be out later in the show as Frank M takes on Chris Michaels which seems to excite Gossett. We also have the Cuban Assassin in the house as he takes on Hillbilly Don E. Gossett doesn’t care about the matches, he wants to know is Tasha is here today. Bert doesn’t know and throws it to a commercial break. ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- We return to Bert and Ronnie who have been joined by Richard Lee with his client, the Zebra Kid. Lee wants to get right to it and demands Commissioner Hickerson to come out and give his answer. Bert with a reminder for the fans about ZK and his manager looking for the overturned match to be overturned once again and the victory given to the Zebra Kid. They don’t have to wait long as Hickerson makes his way out and is joined by USWA Official Nate Whitlock and wrestler Chris Michaels. Hickerson explains that he watched the tape over and over and came to the same conclusion, agreeing with the decision of referee Laurer. He then went to the USWA for a second opinion and USWA Rep Nate Whitlock agrees with the decision. The ruling stands, Chris Michaels is the winner of the match against the Zebra Kid seen here on television. Lee and ZK both blow a gasket as the fans cheer. Holding his hands up to get some quiet, Hickerson continues, saying he’s fair guy and is willing to give the Zebra Kid a chance to prove it was a fluke or if he truly is the better wrestler … on Friday, the 28th at the Armory, we will get a rematch … The Zebra Kid versus Chris Michaels. Michaels and the fans are okay with that as Lee and ZK storm off. Pointing a finger, Lee tells Hickerson he hasn’t heard the last of this! Chris Michaels versus Frank M. w/Tony Falk & Tasha Simone. Referee Bruno Laurer. Michaels follows up the decision handed down by the USWA with an overwhelming victory over Falk’s student. Falk and Tasha both cheer on Frank but to no avail as Michaels has an answer to whatever is thrown at him. Throughout, Ronnie Gossett talks about the lovely Tasha, not even commenting on the match at all. Superkick and the match is over as Chris Michaels picks up another win. Tony Falk, Tasha Simone and the losing Frank M join our hosts which makes Ronnie Gossett giddy. Bert tells Ronnie to calm down or he’ll have to go to the back. Ronnie shoots backs that Bert would like that and to no one’s surprise, Bert would indeed like that. Falk talks about his students coming along and they are learning as they go. You can show them everything in training but you really learn when you are in the ring and an opponent is across from you ready to take your head off. Falk is impressed with both of his boys as they come in every day, ready to get down to work. That first win will come, it is only a matter of time and as he always says, we’ll get them next time! Gossett turns his attention to Tasha and tells her with the upcoming Valentine’s Day, he is sure that she will be turning the boys away. He wanted to be the first as he hands her roses and a box of chocolates as a token of his … devotion. Bert crinkles his nose at that … really? Ronnie tells Bert to mind his own business. She tries to defuse the situation as she says she is sure the fans will love to see her get into the ring for her first match. Bert wishes them all the luck in the world as the trio get out of there after she puts the roses and the heart shaped box of chocolate back on the desk but right now, we need to take a station break! ----- COMMERCIAL BREAK ----- Local ad with Tony Falk ... Tony Falk: Do you want to become a wrestler, a manager or a valet? Call the number below and we can get you on the path to stardom! Call today! Back to Bert and Ronnie with Bert asking Ronnie what is wrong with him? He is old enough to be her grandfather! Ronnie says he is merely a victim of Cupid’s arrow that has struck him deep … THE LIGHTS FLICKER! WE HAVEN’T SEEN THEM IN TWO WEEKS! THEY’RE BACK!!!!! Gossett gets into position, behind Bert as the Queen of Evil approaches followed by Humperdink. As Bert nears with a mic in hand, she hisses at him as Humperdink snatches it away and hands it to her. In a raspy voice she turns towards the camera and hisses out that she has been to the mountain and after a long and arduous journey, she sat with the Abudadein, he told her that the instrument of destruction would not come from without BUT FROM WITHIN! It would be up to her to find and unlock the evil within one man’s soul … AND THAT WOULD BE THE UNDOING OF BOBBY STARR!!!!! They turn to walk away before Humperdink stops, turns back to our hosts and hisses at Ronnie Gossett to make him retreat further behind Bert Prentice. With the coast clear, Lock’s pawn snaps up the red heart shaped box of chocolate and walks off to join her. Ronnie wants to complain but Bert throws it to the ring for our next match! Hillbilly Don E w/Hillbilly Dennis versus The Cuban Assassin. Referee Tom Renesto Jr. Bert talks about the Assassin who has been locked in a wild and crazy feud with Gypsy Joe that has raged all over the state of Kentucky like two forces of nature that has cut a bloody swath through the territory. Ronnie complains about his box of chocolate for Tasha being taken by Humperdink but Bert tells him to go into the back and take it from him. Simple as that. Ronnie says they probably hightailed it out of there already! Likely excuse. Bert asks if Ronnie’s scared? Ronnie Gossett is scared of no man … or woman! Really? Then why does Ronnie hide behind Bert each time they come out? Inside the ring, The Cuban Assassin manhandles his opponent, smacking him around the ring rather than actual wrestling technique. The CA even is able to get to Don E’s brother has he slams their heads together when the brawling is brought outside the ring. Several possible pin attempts are thwarted as the Cuban Assassin pulls Don E up by his hair each time before the three count. Several warnings from the referee who stands his ground when CA threatens him. Cotton-Eyed Joe starts to play … IT'S GYPSY JOE!!!!! Joe, with a kendo stick over his shoulder, makes his way out and around the ring with his eyes squarely on the Cuban Assassin. Pointing the kendo stick at CA, it looks like we are gonna have a donnybrook right here on TV as the two have been largely kept off of television. The Cuban Assassin wants Gypsy Joe in the ring and Joe is willing to oblige with both men tossing referee Tom Renesto Jr. out of the way … AND HERE WE GO!!!!! Bert Prentice wisely signs off before the blood flows but reminds everyone to come back next week for more Bluegrass Championship Wrestling!

From the McCracken County High School Paducah, Kentucky Home of the Mustangs Sunday, February 2nd, 1990 1. Wild Dog pinned Tony Williams. 2. Johnny Hotbody w/Precious beat Frank M w/Tony Falk. 3. Chris Michaels with the victory over Richie Myers. 4. Zebra Kid w/Richard Lee over All American Bobby Starr. * *Lock and Oliver Humperdink came out to watch the match. While Starr did well, it was the interference of Richard Lee that was the difference maker. After the match, the Zebra Kid with some pent up aggression continued to put the boots to Starr. Lee also, got in on the act with a stomping of his own. Chris Michaels and Wild Dog hit the ring to chase off ZK and his manager.
