IPW releases Jimmie Lee and signs Pat Rose.

Listing from the Jonesboro, Arkansas TV Guide for Saturday at 11 am.

Work - Kids - Family. Funny how those things get in the way of our hobbies. Freebirds, Buddy Roberts or no Buddy Roberts, will have their arms raised at Triumph. Gordy is on a roll and that spells nothing but success for the Birds from Bad Street.

International Pro Wrestling 3-12-1988 Conway High School Conway, Arkansas Home of the Wampus Cats A Sunday afternoon matinee as IPW comes to a town near you, bringing the best in wrestling action! Hosts Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice welcome everyone to the show, promising exciting wrestling action! Match #1 Brian Knighton versus Cody Michaels. Friendly match-up between two youngsters that starts with a handshake. Energetic competition throughout that sees Cody Michaels roll up his opponent for the pinfall in a match that ends with a handshake. Match #2 Ken Jugan versus the Arkansas Terror #1 w/Dark Journey & Arkansas Terror #2. Repeated interference and cheating by Dark Journey and her second charge has the referee award the match to Jugan by DQ. With the match over, the two masked men attack Jugan, egged on by Dark Journey and booed by the fans. The boos quickly become cheers when out from the back comes ... https://i.postimg.cc/4xbxL3Ps/Elmer-SMALL.jpg PLOWBOY FRAZIER! Frazier runs them off, well, waddles them off is more like it before helping Jugan to the back. Match # 3 The New Guinea Headhunter w/Tojo Yamamoto versus Dancing Wolf. Continuation of the feud between the two teams that sees both men go back and forth with near pinfalls. Tojo with a kendo stick shot that misses Dancing Wolf catches the Headhunter allowing Wolf with a Flying Tomahawk Chop get the win. Intermission. Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice talk to Arkansas native Bill Ash who goes on a rant about having to wrestle in little podunks towns like Conway when he is an MSG Headliner. Places like this embarass him to admit to being from Arkansas. He picks on a family on the front row equating IQ to the number of teeth they have left which has the fans up in arms! Match #4 Bill Ash versus Mountain Lou. 296 pounds of Mountain Lou frustrates Ash in the early going and the fans eat it up. Following a scoop slam that leads to a two count, Ash pops back to his feet complaining about his hair being pulled which draws the ire of the crowd. After begging off, chants of "He's a sissy" ring out that has Ash arguing with the front row and covering his ears. The big guy with the continued beat down until Ash with a thumb to the eye turns the tide. Running Mountain Lou's eyes across the ropes only gets the fans hooting and hollering more but the damage has been done in turning the tide. Bill Ash with the Arkansas Whiplash for the win. Ash has to make a run for it with a barrage of cups and wadded up programs thrown his way. Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice thank everyone for sharing their Sunday afternoon with them and that IPW will return to Conway!

Not sure if this is still a thing as the last post is from January, but let me say, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Having Kevin Sullivan and his army gives Florida the familiarity right off the bat and having him and his followers doing crazy unexpected things will set the territory apart from anywhere else. Honestly, who expects an announcer to be attacked at the beginning of the broadcast? Humperdink turning in Sullivan and leaving the Family was a surprise which I might have to go back and see how that all unfolded. Does have me wondering if it is the genius of Sullivan "keeping friends close, but his enemies closer". Having someone keeping an eye on Mike Graham would certainly give him a "one-up" on Graham. Okay, not a complete show. Might be a missed opportunity to sell your house shows if this was on your regular television. People would be tuning and glued to their sets wondering who Sullivan would attack next and how is Graham going to stop him?

Memphis without Jerry Lawler is a tough sell, making it worse in my opinion, no Bill Dundee. I think Dirty Dutch and Rip Rogers with ties to Memphis are good heels without a solid counterpart. I'm thinking the Armstrongs with Brad leading the charge might be the way to go? He has the look, the girls like him and best of all, he's from the South, so he and his family "get it". The rest of the Armstrong family to work tags and singles. Maybe an endorsement from a Jackie Fargo would really get them over with the fans? Enter Buddy Landel. Man, did he burn some bridges - he better hope this Memphis gig works out well for him because no one else is going to want to give him a job if it doesn't!

TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! International Pro Wrestling 3-11-1988 Pine Bluff Convention Center Pine Bluff, Arkansas Match #1 Cody Michaels versus The Enforcer. A rehash of their two previous matches with the babyface Michaels getting the nod once again over the masked man. Match #2 The Arkansas Terrors w/ Dark Journey versus Mountain Lou and Ken Jugan. The much smaller masked men with a low blow by DJ are able to pin Lou. Match #3 Dancing Wolf versus the New Guinea Headhunter. In singles action, Dancing Wolf wins a hard hitting match with a flying tomahawk chop. Intermission. Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice talk to Arkansas native Bill Ash who promises to become the IPW champion! Match #4 Brian Knighton versus Bill Ash. The rookie delivers early on before the veteran Ash digs deep into his bag of tricks to pull off the victory with the Arkansas Whiplash. Match #5 Tojo Yamamoto versus Reno Riggins. A bloody affair that ends in a Double Disqualification when the two battle outside the ring using whatever is not nailed down as a weapon. Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice with the promise that IPW will return to Pine Bluff!

In Puerto Rico and Colon isn't a bloody mess? I am sure Chicky is screaming foul that he wasn't involved in one of the title matches in front of HIS people. Oh the indignity!

You have a solid base to work things around. Having a young Scotty the Body should be a lot of fun to write and fin for us to watch him grow and evolve. Being in a stable with Buddy Rose can only be a positive. Fan of the Cheetah Kid, so nice to him him being smack dab in the middle if the action.

That's a lot of action for TV ie. free. NWA fans must love you.

Happy belated birthday to your son. Don't sweat it, good things come in small packages and you have a lot of action tightly packed in there. Freebirds all the way!

Getting caught up on things here in my first few days. I can say, you have a talented roster going for you and the ability to put on a little bit of everything for the fans no matter where you show whether the US, Canada or Puerto Rico. Brenda Britton is nice to look at from the neck down but you really need to invest in some paper bags to put over her head to cover up.

TONIGHT! TONIGHT! TONIGHT! International Pro Wrestling 3-10-1988 ASU Armory Jonesboro, Arkansas Different night, different town, same card! Friday night packed house in Jonesboro! Cody Michaels with the victory over The Enforcer. The Arkansas Terror #1 w/ Dark Journey and a lot of help beat Mountain Lou. Plowboy Frazier pinned not one but both Arkansas Terrors. In tag team action, Reno Riggins & Dancing Wolf won by disqualification over Tojo Yamamoto & the New Guinea Headhunter. Ten man Over the Top Battle Royal to close out the show. Reno Riggins is the Last Man Standing after tossing the New Guinea Headhunter out of the ring. Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice with the promise that IPW will return to Jonesboro!

IPW picks up Tom Renesto Jr. and Tim Renesto. Big thanks to the Great Spaldoni who said I could have Bill Ash off his roster. I do have a question about Ash. I know he is listed in the Retired/Less Than 10 Matches offering but as of 1990, he wrestled in his promotion (IPW out of Arkansas) with his students and seemed to be quite active, despite none of those matches being listed.

International Pro Wrestling 3-9-1988 Paragould High School Home of the Rams - Fund Raiser A Thursday night packed house with wrestling for a good cause as IPW comes to a town near you, bringing the best in wrestling action! Hosts Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice welcome everyone to the show, promising exciting wrestling action! Match #1 The Enforcer versus Cody Michaels. Energetic match with the curly haired Michaels putting his masked opponent through the ringer. The cheating Enforcer fights his way back into the match but with the fans behind him, Michaels with a flying cross body block is able to get the 1! 2! 3! Match #2 Mountain Lou versus the Arkansas Terror #1 w/Dark Journey & Arkansas Terror #2. Big bald man in black tights not only has to deal with the skinny opponent but his manager and "twin" the entire match. With the referee giving Dark Journey a piece of his mind, the two Terrors clothesline Lou with a chain, putting him down for the count. With the match over, the two masked men put the boots to Lou, egged on by Dark Journey and booed by the fans. The boos quickly become cheers when out from the back comes ... PLOWBOY FRAZIER! Match # 3 Plowboy Frazier versus The Arkansas Terrors w/Dark Journey. We get the belll and we are underway! Grabbing the masked men, he bangs their heads together before tossing them both into the ring. The slow plodding Plowboy joins them in the ring and proceeds to dismantle them. He pins them both after splashing them. We have a happy audience heading into an intermission. Lee and Prentice bring the school principal into the ring and hand over a check for the fund raiser. After the principal leaves the ring, Tojo Yamamoto and the New Guinea Headhunter enter the ring. The aging veteran talks about creating havoc here in IPW, starting tonight! Match #4 Tojo Yamamoto & the New Guinea Headhunter versus Reno Riggins & Dancing Wolf. Japanese salt ceremony to start things off into a brawl. Back and forth match that sees Dancing Wolf very nearly end the match with the flying tomahawk chop. Tojo with the save and on the offensive with his very painful stomach claw. Dancing Wolf dances around the ring, pointing at Tojo before putting him down with chops. Riggins in to brawl with the Headhunter. Riggins in control, chopping down the Headhunter but Tojo answers with a handful of salt to the eyes. New Guinea Headhunter with the pin attempt and the win. The fans boo as Riggins and Dancing Wolf plead with the referee. They plead their case to no avail until he swipes his hand across Riggins' face. Tasting the salt, he calls for the bell REVERSING THE DECISION AND AWARDING RIGGINS AND DANCING WOLF THE VICTORY! Buddy Lee and Bert Prentice wish everyone a safe trip home after promising that IPW will return to Paragould!

Problems in Missy Hyatt's camp or was Gilbert still a little woozy from his loss?
