AWA show at the Met Center, Bloomington, January 6th 1984 The Playboy Club (Buddy Rose, Rip Oliver, Bob Sweetan & Eddie Mansfield) vs. Greg Gagne, Samu & The Mothership Connection Samu’s team won when Samu hit the Dynamite Dive on Mansfield The Latin Lovers vs. Badd Company The Latin Lovers won when Al Perez got a German Suplex on Pat Tanaka Manny Fernandez vs. Tito Santana Both men fought to a double DQ when the ref was unable to get their brawling under control Super Destroyer vs. Phil Lafon Lafon won with a flying back cross body press Da Crusher, Ron Garvin & “Mad Dog” Pierre Lefebvre vs. Jimmie Garvin & The Brotherhood Of Poland Ron Garvin’s team won when he caught Ivan Putski with the Hands Of Stone punch Paul Orndorff vs. Jim Brunzell Orndorff won when he hit Brunzell with the Piledriver AWA American Title match : Ken Patera © vs. Mr. Olympia In a back and forth match, Olympia sent Patera into the ropes for a big dropkick, only for Patera to catch himself in the ropes and Olympia went crashing into the mat. Patera then hit a running knee drop to successfully defend his title. AWA World Tag Team Title match : The Road Warriors © vs. The Wild Samoans The Road Warriors won by DQ when Sika hit the Samoan Drop on the referee AWA World Title match : Hulk Hogan © vs. Stan Hansen The Hulkster had defended his belt against an array of challengers since winning the title in July, but the huge Texan looked to provide him with his toughest defense yet. Hansen unleashed a ferocious offense on the champ, and it was all Hogan could do to fight back against the Bad Man From Borger. It certainly didn’t help that Sheikh Kaissie and his men, Ken Patera, “Crusher” Blackwell and the One Man Gang, showed up mid way through the match and surrounded the ring. For the most part, they didn’t interfere directly in the match, instead just stared at him and jawed with the champion. Hansen sent Hogan into the ropes to hit the lariat, but Hogan ducked it at the last second and looked to come back off the opposite ropes with his own Axe Bomber. However, Patera chose this moment to take action, snagging Hogan’s leg and sending him staggering, off balance, out of the ropes. Hansen blasted him with a huge lariat and got one …. Two …. THREE! STAN HANSEN IS THE NEW AWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!! The crowd looked on in shock as Hansen held the belt over head while the Sheikh and his men laughed at Hogan’s misfortune.

AWA All-Star Wrestling for January 6th The Latin Lovers (Vinnie Valentino & Al Perez) vs. Badd Company (Pat Tanaka & Paul Diamond) This was the first appearance for the rookie team of Tanaka and Diamond and they impressed the crowd with their fast paced moves and double team offense. Ultimately, though, the Latin Lovers had the edge in experience and got the win when Valentino hit a top rope cross body press on Diamond. Paul Orndorff vs. Phil Lafon Orndorff had a number of encounters with the Can-Am Express but now was taking on Lafon in solo action. Lafon was a house afire in the match, peppering Mr. Wonderful with forearms and dropkicks. Orndorff was equally determined and fired back with power moves and nasty elbow smashes. When Orndorff whipped Lafon hard into the corner turnbuckle, Lafon caught himself just in time, swiftly ascended the top rope and came back with a flying back cross boddy press, but Orndorff ducked just in time, and when Lafon fell hard to the mat, Orndorff picked him up and got the piledriver for the win. Buddy Rose vs. Mr. Olympia Olympia had been no fan of the Minnesota Heartbreakers and was clearly no more enthused about Rose’s Playboy Club, especially given Rose bringing back Eddie Mansfield when he had thought he had gotten rid of the Continental Lover for good. Olympia took out his frustration on the Playboy and, while Rose managed to sneak out of some close situations with his surprising athleticism, it seemed to be all over when Olympia got the Sleeper on Rose. This provoked the rest of the Playboy Club to come out and break up the hold, leading to a DQ result in favor of Olympia. Tito Santana, Samu & “Wildman” Jack Armstrong vs. Manny Fernandez & The Wild Samoans The Wild Samoans lived up to their reputation in this brawl that was on the verge of going out of control at any moment, teaming with their equally crazy stable mate, the Ragin’ Bull. They seemed to direct most of their ire at fellow Samoan Samu, beating him down in the corner every chance they got, but it wound up being Armstrong who took the fall when Afa hit him with the Samoan Drop. “The Tank” Mike Shaw vs. Moose Cholak In this match up of two leviathans, the big Tank showed why he was brought in to Col. Robley’s Army as he savaged the veteran Cholak. Cholak looked like he might just squeak out a victory when he went for an Avalanche in the corner on Shaw, but Shaw was able to move out of the way just in time and when Cholak rebounded out of the corner, Shaw knocked him to the ground with a clothesline before hitting the running splash for the win. “Mad Dog” Pierre Lefebrve vs. “The Polish Prince” Ed Wiskowski This was an out and out slugfest as Wiskowski seemed determined to get Lefebvre out of his hair after the Mad Dog interfered in the Brotherhood Of Poland’s business several weeks before. Lefebvre would not be dismissed so easily, and whenever it seemed like he was down and out, he would come back with a flurry of punches. At one point, when he had been knocked down by the Prince, Wiskowski turned to his manager, Precious, and insisted that she throw in her trademark can of air freshener, but before she could respond, Lefebvre recovered and blindsided Wiskowski with a brutal running double axehandle and got the one two three. Wiskowski was clearly not happy with Precious as they left the ring.

We were , more or less, sharing Illinois. I am fine with you running Chicago. I hope you are alright with occasional interpromotional cards in the International Amphitheater.

Sorry, my mistake, have that corrected. -
The full lineup for the AWA show at the Met Center tomorrow, the 6th of January, has not yet been released, but there is a lot of buzz about the announced main event : AWA World Title Match : Hulk Hogan © vs. Stan Hansen!
-
Sorry, last response is a bit redundant at this point. I will expand a bit. We discontinued the absorbtion rule, but I don't see any point in undoing the work that took place when it was in effect. We are talking about all of two cities, and current promotions are using them for marquee shows. There are a plentiful amount of cities still available for other people to run as territories, whether as one city shows or larger.
-
Georgia and St. Louis were both full on absorbed by existing territories and have shows being run in them by those territories, so should remain unavailable.
-
Vancouver was technically open until the redistribution draft. And also Ontario is still open as a territory, for all that Big Time moved the roster to Detroit. Much of the Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico) is open territories, as is California (although the AWA does run shows in Northern California).

AWA show at the Winnipeg Arena, Winnipeg, December 30th Bob Sweetan vs. Samu Bob Sweetan won with the piledriver The Can-Am Express vs. Paul Orndorff & The Super Destroyer The Can-Am Express won when Lafon hit a flying cross body press on Super Destroyer. Tito Santana & The Latin Lovers vs. The Playboy Club During the match, Manny Fernandez came out and attacked Santana. During the distraction of the two brawling, Rip Oliver hit Vinnie Valentino with a chokeslam for the win. Rick Martel, Ron Garvin & Mad Dog Lefebvre vs. Jimmy Garvin & The Brotherhood Of Poland Martel, Garvin and Lefebvre won when Ron Garvin and the Mad Dog both slingshot Martel into the ring for a flying clothesline on Jimmy Garvin AWA American Championship match : Ken Patera © vs. Greg Gagne Both men went to a 20 minute Time Limit Draw The Road Warriors & Moose Cholak vs. The Wild Samoans & "The Tank" Mike Shaw In a pretty crazy bout, the Samoans and Shaw won when Shaw hit a running splash on Cholak AWA World Championship match : Hulk Hogan © vs. "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell Blackwell was joined at ringside by Ken Patera, One Man Gang and Sheikh Adnan Kaissie. When the action spilled to the outside, Blackwell got Hogan up against a corner post and went for a lariat, and Hogan ducked under it but found himself face to face with Patera. Meanwhile, Blackwell was blocked from going into the corner post by being caught by One Man Gang, and while Hogan was staring down Pateran, Blackwell clobbered him from behind with a lariat. He then got a short running splash on the back of the champ and was able to make it back into the ring to get the win by count out.

Sorry to be the spelling noodge, but it is Lightning Express, not Lightening Express. -
AWA All-Star Wrestling for December 30th The Latin Lovers vs. Moondog Morretti & Pat Rose This was the fans first chance to see the new Latin Lovers in action and they certainly didn’t disappoint. The women in the audience were certainly appreciative of the newest member, Al Perez, as he dominated the pair of Memphis stalwarts before getting the Ally-Copter (helicopter spin off the shoulder) on Rose for the pin. "Playboy" Buddy Rose vs. Samu Rose came to the ring accompanied by the rest of the Playboy Club consisting of Rip Oliver, Eddie Mansfield and newest member, Bob Sweetan. This proved a distraction for “Samoan Dynamite” , who brought his usual aggressive offense but found it hard to keep up his momentum against the Playboy. When he went up to the top turnbuckle to hit the Dynamite Dive, Oliver and Sweetan advanced on him, looking like they were going to knock him off. He paused to warn them off, but this was enough of an interruption for Rose to recover and throw him from the top turnbuckle. Rose then hit the Inside Out Backbreaker and got a pinfall that shocked the crowd. The Mothership Connection (Iceman Parsons & Master Gee) vs. Mike Jackson & Ted Allen Master Gee had made his AWA debut last week and now was joining one of the AWA’s most popular wrestler in Iceman Parsons for an exciting new team called the Mothership Connection. This new pairing dazzled the crowd with their rapid fire offense and easily dominated Jackson and Allen before Gee hit a big atomic drop on Allen into a top rope Rumper Stumper by Parsons for the win. Greg Gagne vs. Mike George Greg seemed to be gaining some momentum after finally getting a victory over Paul Orndorff. He and the bulky member of the Sheikh’s men had a relatively clean, technical bout that could have gone either way until George went for the shoulder breaker and Gagne countered by sliding down his back. Gagne then took advantage by sinking the Gagne Sleeper on George to get the win. Tito Santana vs. Apocalypse Santana had been in some knock down , drag out fights with Apocalypse’ stable mate, Manny Fernandez, and seemed to be trying to send a message. He swarmed over Apocalypse and never gave him a chance to get in the match, hitting the Mexican Hammer before putting on the Figure Four and forcing him to give up. Ron Garvin & Mad Dog Lefebvre vs. the Brotherhood Of Poland Garvin brought the French Canadian newcomer in to take on the Brotherhood and the Mad Dog seemed determined to live up to his name, savagely brawling with Wiskowski and Putski. At one point, he had Putski in the corner and was pummeling him with lefts and rights. The ref tried to get him out of the corner and got busted one in the face for his trouble. The ref called for the DQ, which caused Lefebvre to get even more angry, and it took both Garvin and Da Crusher to get the Mad Dog calmed down post match. AWA Canadian Championship match : Rick Martel © vs. Jimmy Garvin This marked the return of the Canadian Champion after a long absence, and Martel was clearly set to defend his belt against top competition as he took on the former American champ. This match went back and forth, and at several points it looked like Garvin could take the Canadian title. About mid-way through the match, Garvin’s partners, the Brotherhood Of Poland, showed up at ringside, but Martel kept his focus on the match in the ring. Martel got Garvin set up for the slingshot splash, but Garvin was able to roll out of the way to dodge it. This ended up being a moot point, as the Brotherhood pulled Martel off the ring apron before he was able to execute the slingshot splash, and this led to a DQ victory for Martel. Garvin argued after the match with the Brotherhood, telling them he had the situation well in hand and they shouldn’t have interfered, but Precious was able to get things smoothed over among her men.

Good to see you back and hope you are feeling better. Solid show, building on the foundation of your first.

Might as well get off the dime ... AWA will be releasing Mike George and Apocalypse (Mike Boyette) to make room for Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka.

Wow, that was quick
