Hart screws up big time allowing DK to move on. Taylor seemed to be looking to make a friend. Alas Andre wasn't interested. Slick Ric is headed to the semis. So much for Nailz' rehabilitation. A loss in the eight man sees the heels nearly come to blows. I know I wouldn't mind seeing Hart & Slick tussle. Andre is going into the finals with a lot left in the tank. Flair gets the win but Kid made him work for it. Earthquake ends Jimmy's night on a high note. The plot thickens as it turns out that the Taylor Made Man has a secret employer. Funk proves he's a man of his word as he prevents Lawler & the Genius from comiting a royal robbery. I don't know what Taylor thought he was doing but maybe he should've run it past Andre first? Regardless the nature Boy is the King of the Ring and now it's on to SummerSlam.

Titan defeats his most physically imposing challenger. Can anyone stop him? Like that you're already making plans for the next SNME. Warlord/JYD vs Power & Glory will be a fun attraction. A one eyed snake can til bite. I think someone is about to find that out the hard way. King of the Ring is gonna rock Baltimore.

12 hours on a farm is 12 too many for Tasha and she vents by firing all her men. Kinda feel sorry for the Pink Assassin as he really didn't screw up like the other two.

Austin has cut ties with the last of his Idols. Icenman with that classic heel move, stealing the title he couldn't officially win.

He says the main event in Augusta will see Wahoo McDaniel defend the NWA National Championship against "The Soulman" Rocky Johnson. Not only will the winner walk away with the National title but will have earned the right to challenge him for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at The Omni on May 31st.

Johnson vows that will come to an end in Augusta and after that, it's on to The Omni on May 31st to become the first black NWA World Heavyweight Championship. A match between two enhancement talent ends in a no contest when "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer storms the ring and beats the tar out of both men, finally planting them both with power slams before security manages to wrangle him out of the studio. Brad Armstrong defeats Red Dog Lane with a Russian Legsweep. NWA National Champion "Chief" Wahoo McDaniel joins Solie at the podium. He says the fact he has to give "that Soul-shuffling fool" Rocky Johnson another shot at the NWA National title is a disgrace. He says he's the most dominant man to ever hold the title and he should have already been awarded the match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at The Omni but as per usual, the championship committee is stacking the deck against him. Not that it'll matter because he's going to put Johnson in his place one more time then on to the 31st where he'll claim what he's always deserved, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

TNT and the Destruction Crew are both making strong cases for being the tag title tournament favorites. You just struck heel gold by pairing IRS with "good Christian" Ron White. Orndorff is sounding more and more like a ticking time bomb.

The Nightmares show they can get it done whether it's one-on-one or two-on-two.

Tunney starts the show with a game changing announcement. Jake is out of KoTR and Nailz is in. The headlines keep coming as Terry Funk returns and reveals he's the enforcer for the WWF title match. Titan & Spivey get physical. Hart's crew are getting things together. Andre on a rampage is a nightmare for everyone. Flair maintains his innocence. Taylor finds out the hard way that Snuka can't be bought.

Love the detail on the opening sequence. Sting helps the In-Laws get the W in the opener. The Steiners derail the Orient Express. Is Pillman finally rid of the Mountie? I like the end of the US tag title match but some of the match description confuses me. Why are Morton & Gibson working together if they're on opposing team? Vader crushes Kendall and teases a titanic clash with Tenryu. Hennig survives the Nightmare. Hall stops the Rock(er). R.I.P Big Josh. Rhodes gets a send-off worthy of a Dream. The three-way powder keg between Doom, Road Warriors & the Steiners ignites. Dustin & Steamboat get the win but the Alliance refuses to let them enjoy it. A returning Luger is instrumental in Sting slaying the mad titan.

Bullet Bob breaks down the rules one more time for the folks who weren't listening the first time. Major debut for Bam Bam as he gets a win and two fiery promos. Horner calls out all the people on his list. Orndorff is running out of patience with this "no piledriver" bs. Austin is doing an admirable job fighting off Dutch & Ahmed. The Heavyweight tournament looks like one big banger.

Between Bad News & The Warrior, the AWA World Title picture is getting a significant buff. The arm wrestling challenge is a nice little way for Norton to get heat. I thought this might be where the metal door segments were headed. Young's faith in Idol is seriously shaken. Boss man doesn't look to intimidated by Neil.

Vader is coming! SuperBrawl is going to give Tampa a show they'll never forget.

NWA World Championship Wrestling. Taped at the WTBS Studio. Airing 5/7/83 on the Superstation. With you host “The Dean of Professional Wrestling” Gordon Solie Solie is welcoming the fans to the show when Jim Cornette who says he’s been putting Mama Cornette’s money to good use, assembling the greatest force professional wrestling has EVER seen. Over the next few weeks, he’ll be revealing the main who will be running Georgia starting tonight. Johnny RIch gets the show properly started, with a win over an enhancement talent. One Man Gang w/Cornette absolutely squashes some poor soul in more than one way. The studio crowd goes insane when Ric Flair joins Solie at the podium. Flair says he came to Georgia because it has everything he’s looking for, the brightest lights, the best competition and the most beautiful women in the world (he winks at the studio audience earning a loud, feminine cheer). He puts over the upcoming GCW events telling the people at home to show up every chance they got, whether it’s the Memorial Auditorium in Columbus this Sunday, the Centreplex Coliseum Arena in Macon this Monday or the big show at The Omni right here in Atlanta later this month where he’ll defend the NWA World Championship against whoever the championship committee puts in front of him. Brad Armstrong looks sharp in a win. Matt Borne & Gene Anderson get a tag team showcase. “Wildfire” Tommy Rich joins Solie at the podium. He puts over his ongoing rivalry with Buzz Sawyer but before too long the Mad Dog rushes out and a brawl breaks out that has Solie frantically calling security. In the Main Event, Rocky Johnson puts his athleticism and charisma on full display as he KO’s his opponent with the Soulman Shuffle.

Titan & Spivey are headed for a hell of a collision. Mr Backlund has a firm grip on Nailz, for now. The Ronin's first outing with Hart is unsuccessful. Love the character work of Taylor paying his opponent off. Always love a good battle royal. Roberts is down, Flair is the prime suspect and there's about to be a pissed off giant that's about to make it everyone else's problem.
