I'll just say Hogan is in for a world of trouble when he gets back. The Sinister Six will see to that.

We tend to get a bit gimmicky in the AWA when Hogan is in Japan.

Glad to see Ivan went to a good home.

The AWA is releasing Eddie Mansfield and Ivan Putski to free agency and signing up Angel Acevedo and Gerry Morrow.

AWA at the Winnipeg Arena, Winnipeg, January 27th Can-Am Express vs. Badd Company The Express went for their dropkick into a Cobra Clutch suplex finisher on Tanaka, only for Tanaka to pull himself out of the way at the last second and Brunzell hit Lafon instead. Badd Company then hit a superkick into a German Suplex on Brunzell to shock the audience with their first win in the AWA Manny Fernandez vs. “Wildman” Jack Armstrong Fernandez won with the Flying Burrito forearm. The Assassins vs. The Latin Lovers The Assassins won when Assassin #1 hit a powerslam on Al Perez Samu vs. Ed Wiskowski Wiskowski won when he hit samu with a set of brass knucks after the ref was knocked down, followed by a face first piledriver. The Garvin Brothers vs. One Man Gang and “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell Both teams went to a double countout when they would not stop brawling at ringside Mr. Olympia vs. Buddy Landell Landell was making a special appearance from Southeastern wrestling and proved a tough challenge for the popular masked man. He had a deep bag of tricks that he dug into in avoiding both the Powerlock and the Sleeper, and on a number of occasions came very close to pinning Olympia. Olympia was finally able to get the Sleeper in the middle of the ring, but this led to Buddy Rose and the rest of the Playboy Club rushing the ring and attacking him, leading to a DQ. Rick Martel & Tito Santana vs. The Heavenly Bodies This dream pairing of Martel and Santana was evenly matched with the exciting tag team out of Southeastern, and the match looked like it would go to the full 30 minute draw. Hoever, in the 29th minute, Bobby Eaton desperately tried to put Santana away with the top rope Alabama Jam, only to be pushed from the top turnbuckle by Martel. Martel then followed up with a flying splash for the last minute victory. Loser-Leaves-Town Cage Match : Da Crusher vs. Ivan Putski This feud finally came to a head with both men determined that they would be the last one standing in the AWA. Both Ed Wiskowski and Mad Dog Lefebvre showed at ringside, hoping in some way to tip the balance for Putski , but they were soon run off by the Garvin Brothers. Both men were a bloody mess by the end of the match, and it looked like Polish Power would prevail when Putski got a big bearhug on Crusher, but Crusher rallied with big punches to the face on Putski to finally break his grip. He managed one more lunging Bolo Punch on Putski before putting him in the Crusher Clutch. The barely conscious Putski was unable to break out of it and had to submit, putting himself out of the AWA. AWA World Tag Title Cage match : The Road Warriors © vs. The Wild Samoans Buck Robley’s latest challengers for the Road Warriors’ tag belts seemed to be in their best position to win the title. Hawk was coming in with taped ribs, having been badly hurt by the Samoans in a cage match last week, and Afa and Sika mercilessly went after them. Strangely, a mustached man wearing a black beret could been seen in the aisle to the ring, observing and seemingly taking notes. As the battle raged on, the Samoans went back to the tactics that worked for them last week, cutting Hawk off from his partner and keeping him in their end of the ring. When they tried to take him down with a double clothesline, he ducked and knocked them both down with his own double clothesline before getting the hot tag to Animal. Animal exploded on the Samoans, knocking them down with shoulderblocks before jack hammering Sika into the corner with multiple tackles. He then hoisted up Sika and Hawk hit the flying clothesline to once again defend their belts. After the cage was opened, Col. Robley proceeded to berate the two Samoans for failing to bring him back the belts. Bad move. Afa and Sika attacked Robley and then left the ring in the company of the mustached man.

AWA All-Star Wrestling for the weekend of January 27th The Assassins vs. The Can-Am Express The Express had been on a bit of a hot streak lately, but that all came to a screeching halt when they hit the roadblock that was AWA newcomers The Assassins. The fans were shocked as the masked men opened up on the Can-Am Express, giving a brutal beatdown to Brunzell and keeping Lafon out of the ring. Brunzell tried to rally with his trademark dropkicks, but the second Assassin pulled the first out of the way of one and when the felled Brunzell struggled to his feet, he was hit with a nasty diving second rope elbow smash to the back of his head that got the win for the Assassins. “Wildman” Jack Armstrong vs. Eddie Mansfield Initially, “The Continental Lover” came out without the rest of the Playboy Club, but he seemed determined to succeed on his own against the fan favorite Armstrong, but the Wildman kept powering out of Mansfield’s attempts to wear him down. Not too long into the match, Buddy Rose, Bob Sweetan and Rip Oliver did come out to the ring, but it was clear that they were not there to help Mansfield, instead hurling insults from ringside. Eventually, this proved to be too much for Mansfield, who turned to shout back at them. Unfortunately for him, this was enough of an opportunity for Armstrong to blindside him with a massive clothesline, followed by a pinfall. After the match, the Playboy Club dragged Mansfield from the ring and put the boots to him, culminating in Oliver and Sweetan giving him a nasty spike piledriver on the concrete. Mansfield had to be taken to the back in a stretcher. Buddy Rose vs. Greg Gagne Gagne was still showing the effects of the last week’s match with Paul Orndorff , coming out with his arm heavily taped. Not a good idea to give a target like that to the Playboy, who might not look like the most athletic competitor but is an incredibly dangerous opponent. Rose went after the injured arm every chance he got, wrenching it with armbars and elbows and giving a cheap shot kick to it when Gagne tried to rally. Gagne still tried to take Rose out with his trademark Sleeper, but Rose reversed it into a waistlock from behind, and when Gagne tried to elbow his way out, Rose dodged them and trapped Gagne in a schoolboy rollup, grabbing a big handful of trunks to ensure the pin. After the count, Rose pointed to his head, seeming very please with himself for getting such a cheap win. One Man Gang vs. Ron Garvin These two had some intense matches last year, and it seemed like time had done nothing to mellow out the hatred that the two had for each other. This was another chaotic brawl, with Gang’s size and power matching up against Gagne’s toughness and ferocity. Garvin did manage to stagger Gang with a right hook coming off the ropes, but when he peppered Gang with lefts and rights, this proved to be the cue for “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell to charge into the ring and attack Garvin, leaving to a DQ. Jimmy Garvin came in to even the sides, and the two sides brawled until the AWA officials cleared them out of the ring. Interview : Mean Gene stands in the ring. Mean Gene : Ladies and gentlemen, my next guest is possibly the most controversial wrestler in the AWA. Many people say he showed his true colors when he betrayed Da Crusher in their match last week … “Mad Dog” Pierre Lefebvre. The crowd explodes into boos as Lefebvre heads down to the ring. Lefebvre , in turn, shouted back at the fans. Mean Gene : Mad Dog, Da Crusher was the man who brought you into the AWA, but you repay him by attacking him in the middle of your tag match with the Brotherhood Of Poland. What gives? Mad Dog : (waving the tip of his axehandle under Mean Gene’s nose) You watch your mouth, Okerlund, or you get some of this! Crusher did bring me to the AWA. Promise me a fight! The Mad Dog is always up for a fight! But you think we are your friends, huh? You think the Mad Dog is your boy? The Mad Dog is nobody’s boy! The Mad Dog has no friends, needs no friends, don’t want no friends! The Mad Dog is through with being in your shadow. I’ve sunk my teeth into you, and I am never going to let go! AWA American Title Match : Ken Patera © vs. Master Gee For all that people might object to Patera’s tactics, he certainly hasn’t been ducking any challengers, this week taking on one half of the up and coming tag team of the Mothership Connection. Patera had taken the American Title from Master Gee’s partner, Iceman Parsons, and Master Gee seemed to have Patera well scouted, catching the big man off guard with his rapid fire, high impact offense. Patera kept steady, however, and waited for his opportunity, and when Master Gee went for a flying shoulder tackle from the top rope, Patera showed he was playing possum and dodged it with ease. Patera picked up the felled Master Gee and hit a running powerslam on him to successfully defend his belt. AWA Canadian Title Match : Rick Martel © Manny Fernandez The wildly popular Martel returned to defend his belt against the wildly unpredictable Ragin’ Bull. Fernandez brought a lot of pent up frustration into the match and seemed more interested in hurting Martel than winning the title. Martel showed his trademark cool in getting out of any trap that Fernandez put him in, which only served to infuriate Fernandez more. Fernandez finally blew his stack and dragged Martel out of the ring , attacking him with a chair and getting DQed. He kept after Martel until Tito Santana ran out and the two fan favorites finally managed to send off the Ragin’ Bull. One commentary, Ron Trongard said that the pairing of Martel and Santana had a lot of potential, possibly calling themselves something like the Attack Team. God damn it, Ron …

Man, great bunch of shows. LOVE your tag division!

I know the current system is that we can only pick up one free agent per week, but I have been running behind and am just starting to get caught up. I had hoped to have phased out a couple of people in order to bring 2 people in as a tag team, but am only just coming to that point where I can drop them that I had hoped to be a couple of weeks ago. Would anyone object if I dropped 2 people and picked up 2 people to specifically act as a tag team?

AWA show at the Mecca, Milwaukee, January 20th The Garvin Brothers vs. Badd Company The Garvin Brothers won when they hit a spike brainbuster on Tanaka "Bruiser" Bob Sweetan vs. "Wildman" Jack Armstrong Sweetan won when he got Armstrong in a piledriver The Mothership Connection vs. Rip Oliver & Eddie Mansfield Mansfield once again tried to get a cheap win by hitting George Wells with a set of brass knucks but Wells dodged out of the way at the last time and Oliver took the shot. Wells pinned Oliver and afterwards, Oliver, Buddy Rose and Bob Sweetan beat down Mansfield until the refs cleared the ring "Playboy" Buddy Rose vs. Mr. Olympia In what is considered something of an upset, Rose beat Olympia with the Inside Out Backbreaker Da Crusher & "Mad Dog" Pierre Lefebvre vs. The Brotherhood Of Poland The Brotherhood kept double teaming Crusher and resisting any attempts to get one of them in the ring at a time until Wiskowski punched the ref in the face, leading to a DQ. Lefebvre came in swinging an axe handle and ran them out of the ring … then started savagely attacking Crusher with the axe handle! The Brotherhood gleefully jumped in the ring and tried to get in on the attack, but Lefebvre swung his axe handle wide, letting them know their help was not wanted. They instead high tailed it back to the locker room, and it was the Garvin Brothers coming in and swinging chairs that finally got Lefebvre off Da Crusher. AWA American title Match : Ken Patera © vs. Samu Samu went for the Dynamite Dive, but Patera rolled out of the way at the last moment , and the champion then hit a second rope knee drop on the back of Samu’s head to successfully defend his title 10 Man Tag Cage Match : The Road Warriors, Moose Cholak, Tito Santana & Greg Gagne vs. The Wild Samoans, "The Tank" Mike Shaw, "Ragin' Bull" Manny Fernandez & Col. Buck Robley In a shocking result, the Army trapped Hawk in their corner, cutting off the ring as they brutally attacked him. Shaw hit two assisted running splashes to his ribs before Sika hit a sitting splash from the second rope to get the pin. AWA World Title Cage Match : Stan Hansen © vs. Hulk Hogan Kaissie’s Krew showed up at ringside and surrounded the cage during this match, but apart from jeering at Hogan they did not attempt to enter the ring or otherwise interfere. This was a brutal brawl with both men a bloody mess by the end of it. Ultimately, Hansen tried to put Hogan away once more with the Lariat, but this time it was Hogan who ducked it and Hansen went crashing into the cage. As he staggered back, Hogan got him in a back suplex and then followed that up with the big leg drop for the pin to win back the title. As he left the ring with the belt held high, he gave the death glare to Kaissie’s Krew, but they just gave it back to him.

AWA All-Star Wrestling for the weekend of January 20th The Mothership Connection vs. Badd Company The hot new combo of the Mothership Connection has been getting a lot of attention from the fans of late, and that kept up as they took on rookie sensations Badd Company. Tanaka and Diamond, for their part, have started showing more aggressive tendencies, not out and out cheating but working in more sneaky double teams against Parsons and Wells. In the end, though , the Connection kept calm and was able to get the win when Wells blocked a Diamond Superkick and turned him around for an atomic drop that set him up for the Rumper Stumper by Parsons. Samu vs. Rip Oliver Oliver came out with his Playboy Club stablemate , Buddy Rose, at his side and with Eddie Mansfield trailing behind. Samoan Dynamite did his best to keep his focus with all of the distractions coming from ringside bur Rose and Mansfield did everything they could to rattle him , taking a swipe at him when he got too near the ropes and laughing at him when Oliver took advantage and clobbered him from behind. Ultimately, Rose jumped up on the ring apron and when the ref came over to argue with him, Oliver caught Samu with a nasty eye rake and held him in place for Mansfield to hit him with a set of brass knucks. Samu managed to pull out of the way at the last second, however, and Mansfield staggered Oliver instead. Samu threw Mansfield over the top rope before hitting a thrust kick to the jaw on Oliver and getting the pinfall. Rose and Oliver were both livid and loudly berated Mansfield on the way back to the locker room. Tito Santana vs. The Super Destroyer Santana had taken on a lot of tough competition since his arrival in the AWA but the huge Super Destroyer would prove to be his sternest test yet. The big Destroyer took every chance he could to bully and beat down his smaller apponent, but the intense firebrand kept shooting back with his own punches and dropkicks , enraging the big man. It seemed like all would be over when the Super Destroyer set Santana up on the top turnbuckle for the Super Plex. Santana showed he was not out yet, though, as he exploded with a series of punches that knocked Destroyer from the turnbuckle. He then went up top and levelled him with a flying clothesline that got him the come from behind victory. Mr. Olympia vs. "Bruiser" Bob Sweetan Sweetan came out with Buddy Rose in tow, who off handedly snarled to the camera man as he came to the ring that he had ordered Eddie Mansfield to stay in the locker room. Taking the cue from his friend Samu, Olympia did his best to block out the ringside hectoring of the Playboy, but Sweetan was a very dangerous competitor on his own merits. The tough Bruiser mercilessly attacked Olympia, constantly trying to get him up for his trademark Piledriver only for the masked man to just barely get out. Olympia rallied and was able to dropkick Sweetan out of the ring. When Sweetan tried to get back in the ring , Olympia hooked him up and tried to bring him back into the ring with a vertical suplex. However, Buddy Rose snagged Olympia’s leg so that Sweetan landed down hard on him going back into the ring, holding him down just out of sight of the ref to get the tainted pin for the Playboy Club. Interview with Mean Gene, the Garvin Brothers and Precious Mean Gene said he was surprised that the Garvin Brothers came out together, given how they had been at odds since Ron came to the AWA. Ron explained that one of the reasons he had come to the AWA was to get his younger brother to see some sense and realize that the Brotherhood Of Poland were bad news. He said that , while they would sometimes have their troubles as brothers do, they shared the Garvin name and that was a bond that would always win out. Jimmy added that he saw the light when Wiskowski and Putski went after Precious. When they did that, they crossed a line and that could never be taken back, and now the Garvin Brothers were back together and gunning for them. Da Crusher vs. Ivan Putski Crusher had been looking to get to Putski for quite some time, ever since Putski had betrayed him in a tag match. He looked to be set to take out all of his frustrations on Putski, bombarding him with big lefts and rights and not giving Polish Power a moment to recover. Ultimately he had Putski trapped in the corner and pounding him with his fists and, when the ref tried to pull him out of the corner, he got a right hook of his own , leading to the DQ. Ed Wiskowski then rushed to the ring to attack Crusher, leading to a two on one attack until Mad Dog Lefebvre came out swinging his axe handle to clear the ring of the Brotherhood. Greg Gagne vs. Paul Orndorff These two had faced off many times in the past several weeks and Orndorff seemed particularly aggressive this time out. While the last time they faced off, Gagne targeted Orndorff’s legs, this time out Mr. Wonderful went after Gagne’s right arm with a vengeance, brutally savaging it with armbars and kneedrops. This played a big part in the match, as Greg was unable to effectively sink in the Gagne Sleeper when he tried to put Orndorff away. He looked to compensate for this disadvantage by hitting a number of big dropkicks, but went to the well one time too many when Orndorff grabbed the ropes and Gagne missed the dropkick, crashing hard down on the mat. Orndorff followed up with a big running kneedrop to his head and then picked up Gagne and hit a piledriver, getting a shocking win over the AWA favorite.

I really don't see the need for a full on draft for celebrities. I had Eddie Mekka as a character (loose definition of celebrity) for a stretch and nobody said boo about it. You want to use Muhammad Ali as a special ref, just do it. If someobdy else really wants to use celebrity X as well, work it out individually.

Can anybody get me any information about Robbie Walker? I seem to recall that he had shown up before in Apter mags as Hurricane Walker. I've seen subsequent writeups that he was the later "Hard Work" Bobby Walker, but I really don't think so. Robbie Walker was distinctly taller and wrestled a different style.
-
Based on the PoP shoot that I have watched, he pretty much admitted that he would get into fights when he drank, "That's why I don't drink anymore."

Jeff Sword was traded to Mid-Atlantic for Rick Patterson, who later went to free agency. I don't know when it was that Sword was dropped by MACW, but he hasn't been seen for a while. Sorry it's been so long, will get the Milwaukee show and associated TV up soon, just been having to work a lot of OT lately but definitely still in the game.

Another great show. Love the stories, Sullivan as Florida Champ and Lord Alfred are awesome.

AWA show at the Cow Palace, San Fancisco, January 13th The Assassins vs. The Latin Lovers The Assassins won when Assassin #2 hit a diving elbow smash on the back of Vinnie Valentino’s head Manny Fernandez & Mike Shaw vs. Tito Santana & Greg Gagne Santana & Gagne won when Santana hit the Mexican Hammer on Fernandez Buddy Rose, Rip Oliver & Eddie Mansfield vs. Mr. Olympia, Samu & “Wildman” Jack Armstrong Samu’s team won when he executed the Dynamite Drop on Mansfield Da Crusher, Ronnie Garvin & “Mad Dog” Pierre Lefebvre vs. Jimmy Garvin & The Brotherhood Of Poland Throughout the match, Ed Wiskowski kept trying to get Precious to directly interfere in the match, but Jimmy Garvin refused to allow her to get in a physical altercation with such dangerous opposition. Finally, when Wiskowski had Crusher down, he started arguing with Precious and then insisting she hand him her aerosol can of air freshener, but while he was berating her, Crusher recovered and tagged out to Ronnie Garvin, who came in and nailed Wiskowski with the running Hands Of Stone Punch for the pin. When he had recovered, Wiskowski was furious and went after Precious, but Jimmy Garvin was having none of that and furiously attacked Wiskowski. This brought in Putski and the pair proceeded to double team Gorgeous Jimmy until his brother could take no more and charged in and knocked the Brotherhood out of the ring with big right hands. For all that the two brothers had been at odds with each other, Ronnie showed genuine concern as he and Precious helped Jimmy from the ring. The Road Warriors & Can-Am Express vs. The Wild Samoans, Paul Orndorff & Super Destroyer The Samoans and partners won when Afa got Brunzell with the Samoan Drop Hulk Hogan & The Mothership Connection vs. Ken Patera, “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell & One Man Gang Kaissie’s Krew won when Blackwell hit the running splash on Master Gee

AWA All-Star Wrestling for the weekend of January 13th The Assassins vs. Badd Company This was the first appearance of the Assassins in the AWA, and they proceeded to bully the rookie team of Diamond and Tanaka throughout the match. Badd Company tried to get some fast paced offense going but kept getting shut down by the size and dirty tactics of the bigger team. Assassin #1 finally put them away with a powerslam on Tanaka. Master Gee vs. Sheikh Adnan Kaissie This was a rare wrestling appearance for the manager of Kaissie’s Krew, and he tried to bully the popular newcomer just like the Assassins bullied Badd Company, but Master Gee would have none of it. He would muscle out of Kaissie’s attempts to choke him out and come back with big flying shoulder tackles before finishing him off with the Masterlock. Post-match, a livid Kaissie summoned his men “Crusher” Blackwell and One Man Gang to the ring to attack Master Gee, provoking Gee’s partner, Iceman Parsons, to charge out swinging a chair to clear the ring. Eddie Mansfield vs. Samu Mansfield came out with his fellow Playboy Club members, Buddy Rose and Rip Oliver. Strangely, Rose and Oliver gave no indication of interfering in the match, instead observing Mansfield’s performance with a distinct look of displeasure. Mansfield seem thrown off by the lack of support from his corner, looking to his stable mates to put in a cheap shot on Samoan Dynamite only to be greeted with stony stares. He tried that one too many times , giving Samu time to recover and take him down with a vicious thrust kick to the jaw. Samu went up to the top rope and looked down at Rose and Oliver to see if they would try to knock him off, but the two members of the Playboy Club did not move and Samu hit the Dynamite Dive for the win. Rose and Oliver led Mansfield back to the locker room, clearly looking displeased with his performance. Can-Am Express vs. The Wild Samoans The Wild Samoans were gunning for world tag champions The Road Warriors and were looking set to run right over the Can-Ams to get to them. To their credit, Brunzell and Lafon were determined not to be used as a stepping stone and fought back hard with their trade mark high-velocity offense. The Samoans ultimately cut that short when Brunzell went for a Thesz Press on Sika but was caught and dropped throat first on the top rope. One Samoan Drop later and they had put away the challenge of the Can-Ams. Interview : Mean Gene is in the ring Mean Gene : Ladies and gentlemen, my guest is the former AWA World Champion, Hulk Hogan! The crowd explodes in cheers as Hogan heads to the ring. Hulk good naturedly high fives the fans as he makes his way but seems a bit subdued without the World Title belt. Mean Gene : Hulkster, the whole world was shocked when Stan Hansen took the AWA World Title from you last week in Minnesota, thanks in no small part to the dastardly actions of Kaissie’s Krew. Hogan : Well you know , Mean Gene, I make no excuses. I take it all on my shoulders. I knew they were out there and it was on me to watch out for them interfering. You can’t make a mistake like that for even a second with a big beast like Hansen, and it cost me the belt. Mean Gene : Well, with Patera and his cohorts taking a hand in Hansen’s affairs, it’s going to make things that much harder for you to get the title back. Hogan : I’m never one to back down from a challenge, Gene. But I am nobody’s fool, either. That’s why I have worked a special stipulation into my return match. When I take on Hansen for the title next week in Milwaukee, it’s going to be a cage match! (The crowd cheers) No Patera, no Blackwell, no Gang, no Sheikh. Just you and me, cowboy. And whatcha gonna do when the Hulkster has you trapped in a cage and runs wild on you? Tito Santana vs. “The Tank” Mike Shaw The always popular Santana brought his usual intensity against the much bigger Shaw, and managed to keep the Tank off balance for much of the match. The tempo of the match shifted when Santana sent Shaw into the ropes for a drop kick, only for Shaw to catch himself in the ropes and send Santana falling hard to the match. Shaw followed up with an elbow drop and proceeded to beat down Santana for several minutes. He would then send Santana into the ropes for a clothesline, only for this time Santana ducked and came back with the Mexican Hammer and sent Shaw falling out of the ring. Santana then dove out of the ring and landed on Shaw. He then proceeded to slug it out with Shaw until the Tank’s stable mate, Manny Fernandez, came out to join the fray. All three men exchanged punches until the ref called a double count out. “Mad Dog” Pierre Lefebvre vs. “ The Polish Prince” Ed Wiskowski Wiskowski came to the ring with his partner, Ivan Putski, and his manager, Precious. Lefebvre came out by himself but carrying a very large axe handle. This was a distinctly unrefined match, with Wiskowski trying to take every shortcut he could to win and Lefebvre firing back with lefts and rights. In the end, it was one set of pulled tights or one eye gouge by Wiskowski too far, as Lefebvre simply brought the axe handle into the ring and blasted the Prince with it, leading to an immediate DQ. Putski entered the ring to come to his partner’s aide, only for Lefebvre to take a swing at him too. It took Da Crusher and Ronnie Garvin coming out to the ring to finally calm down the Mad Dog.

Please not another draft

Looks like there were previous Action Jacksons in the world before that (including a Chicago gangster in the 40s) so just never mind me. It's a fairly natural euphonious nickname, after all.

Sorry to be a pain in the neck, but wasn't the original Action Jackson (Perry Jackson) a reference to the Carl Weathers movie that came out in 1988?

AWA Dirt - rumor has it that Col. Buck Robley is none too pleased to be working with the Wild Samoans. The current scuttlebutt is that there is bad blood between them ever since both sides took some liberties with each other in a match several years ago in Mid-South , and the passage of time has done little to calm the waters between the two faction. As Robley is in deep with the AWA management, the current talk is that the higher ups are working on bringing in another team for Robley to send against the Road Warriors once the Samoans' short stay in the AWA is done and while the Wild Bills are currently working a tour of Europe
