As if his dominant return to WCW wsn;t enough, now Vader is the UWFI's top mand and the undisputed World Champion. It truly is Vader Time!

The Freebirds brought Bad street to Baltimore. Tenryu takes advantage of a emotional Smith. Simmons shows who the man in Doom really was. R.I.P DDP. Halls forgoes winning the TV title in favor of crippling Pillman. Diamond finds out the hard way it's Vader Time! Muta & Steamboat take the fight to the Enforcers. The Steiners beat the Road Warriors and get new title belts. Great night for them....until the Nasy Boys show up. Alas, being a Natural wasn't enough to get past Rude. Race gives Sid the win but then calls him off from a post match attack. Interesting. Dangerously really blew it with that call to cash in the US title for an immediate rematch. Now Hennig's lost twice in the same night, his back is even more screw up and the Alliance lost it's most prestigious title.

White Lightening strikes again. Rich puts a bloody exclamation point on his feud with Sawyer. Murdoch & Koloff get caught red handed and it costs them (literally). Fire on the Mountain is gonna be white hot when Hansen and Gordy collide.

Big changes, some more planned than others, are coming to the AWA.

The Dream is back in the WWF baby! Just in time to cause somebody had to keep Callis in line. Love how even the commentators couldn't hide how little they cared about Bravo v Tugboat. I see Hart isn't too upset he had to replace the Ronin. And fair play, the new recruits prove their worth. Funk and Santana make clear they aren't friends but they'll still come together to shut Flair and Lawler up. Gotta hand it to the Mountie, he hung in there against Dynamite. Spivey help Power & Glory to a Fantastic win. Tatanka couldn't withstand the Earthquake but perhaps Kerry can. After all that talk of being the perfect team, Flair and Lawler break at the first time they aren't on the same page. Now that's how you end a PPV! Roberts beats Koloff! Andre turns on Roberts! Dusty goes to stand up to them and gets saved by a returning Hogan!

Tenryu's been paying off so well York's decided to go all in on investing in Japanese talent.

Smart move by the Bullet to bring in some JCP alumni to boost sales in North Carolina. Gordy may want to watch who he calls over the hill cause there's plenty of guys who've tried to knock Wahoo off that hill and it didn't end too well for them.

Night 2, let's rock! Morrow wastes no time getting under everyone's skin. Arcidi helps his man escape the Tiger. Well Gagne clearly taught Andersson a few tricks but they both clearly bought into the idea of "The Ace" too much. Nothing like a few Gagne tears on an AWA supershow. Jammer most certainly wiped out courtesy of the Barbarian. The Mavericks show Idol who the real loser is. Brown said "screw the match, I want payback." Great night for Muraco as he not only beats Rich but makes Tully quit so loud he can't possibly deny it. Bossman puts the Hangman down showing what real justice looks like. It doesn't last long however as he gets bushwhacked by Debeers. Borne sends Houston back to the bunkhouse. Von Erich just couldn't stand against the Ultimate Warrior. Demolition survive a war with the Japanese trio. Hogan gets the win on his way out, like I said. Well, maybe? In any event that whooping he ave Morrow is more than enough to make me happy.

Los Boriquas halt the Rampage. Barr wins the battle for the Frog Splashes. Too bad Vin Man slept through the whole thing. The RPMs definitely took care of business tonight. The Nation came prepared for war. Jackie's men go 0 for 2. Los Guerreros win by a hair (and a roll of coins). Norman is coming. I don't think anyone is buying Slater as the toughest after that win. Between Konnan and Canek>Mascaras the lucha lovers are eating well on night one. I hope Chicky had armed security with him after screwing over Colon like that.

The Dangerous Alliance is poised to leave the Bash with a lot of gold and a lot of power.

Bullet Bob has a huge summer tour lined up for SMW. Mountain Mayhem marks the company's debut in North Carolina. Fire on the Mountain is such a cool name for a wrestling event. I'm convinced it's a reference to something but I can't tell what. But the biggest news is the announcement of K-Town Showdown where the good ol' boys of SMW will face the Northern Invasion by the WWF. That'll definitely put asses in seats.

Love that Roberts and Koloff aren't wasting anytime. Lock them in that cage and let them tear each other apart.

My call is Hogan still getting the W on his way out the door,

This was easily West Virginia's biggest show ever. The Nightmares were the clear pick for tag champs but I wasn't sure Hotbody could escape the Dog.

The Bash card looks amazing. After all they've been through, the Express v the Freebirds deserved that no DQ stip.

The July 4th armory show gets a major boost as it'll see West Virginia's first tag champions crowned.

The transition from PiP to the Love Connection as the top heel unit has gone smoothly.

The odd couple couldn't hold onto the straps forever. The Enforcer's win gives the Alliance a major boost heading into Rude challenging Sting for the World title next week. Tenryu & York's campaign moves beyond kind words. Missy may not have the hold on the Steriners she thought.

The Ebony Express seems to be having trouble picking up steam in the Knoxville area. All due respect to Ahmed, think it's safe to say Dutch leveled up bringing in Bundy. Big Jim proves the difference maker. TNT shows the veterans they aren't afraid to play rough. Gordy wins the battle of the Piledriver. The cast the Fullers gave Armstrong is what hands him the win. Love it.

The Bullet's going into the most important match in SMW history with a bad arm. Doesn't look good. The two tough veterans look to show TNT how it's done. There seems to be a pay dispute going on between Dutch & Ahmed. The Armstrongs bring in Hillbilly Jim to take the fight to Wright's "Christians". Night of Legends promises to be a sellout.

Morrow may have just made good on his vow that Hogan won't make it to WrestleRock. Blaze gives the fans a pick-me-up. The Tiger is back and ready to maul Norton. Barr looks to prove he is the ,aster of the frog splash at WrestleRock. I reall like when you use these six man tags as a multi-match preview. Hashimoto puts his team one up over Demolition. Warrior shows Von Erich what's in store for him. Colon still has plenty of fight in him.

Hennig calls his shot for the upcoming Bash. The Alliance has their eyes on more gold as Arn & Larry target the US tag straps. Race seems to be playing both sides between Luge & SId. Hyatt helps her new team as only she can.

Jimmy Hart's new charge arrives and he may have clipped Ware's wing. Passionate promo by the Funker. Dynamite Kid pulls off the upset by toppling Titan. Love the tension when Slick & co walked in on JYD & Warlord's promo. The Million Dollar Man is here, The Russian Nightmare is here and Nailz has been cut loose. What a moment. Flair has his sights set firmly on the gold with no care for who's holding it. JYD and the Warlord are two tough men but Power & Glory are a tough team and that made the difference. Looks like Andre may still have a place in the Corporation. Funk becomes a two time WWF champ but Flair doesn't let him enjoy it.

Huge announcement for the first Night of Legends! Papa-San....Mr Olympia...and the Fullers. Huge gets for the area. Great bookend with Steve going off to investigate after the first match ten ending the show with the arrival of the Dirty White Boys. The Fullers have been in SMW for a cup of coffee and are already making the Armstrongs miserable. The trick with the contract was as Devious as it was simple. Dutch wanted to be at the Night of Legends and he got it in the worst way. Orndorff v Gordy one more time. The Piledriver is legal BUT the loser is out for the rest of the year! Now those are stakes.

Hogan gets his hands on Morrow makes for hell of an show opener. Idol must have a plan if he's agreeing to face Storm & Young. The tag title match is giving off MAJOR tortoise/hare vibes.
