Sorry, I know I am behind on updating but all of those last dates for USWA are good.

AWA show at the Winnipeg Arena, Winnipeg, March 29th Mothership Connection vs. Badd Company In a shocking upset, after the blonde man in the suit hit Master Gee with a set of brass knucks, Badd Company got the win following a somersault splash by Diamond Cuban Commandos & Gama Singh vs. Can-Am Express & Samu Commandos & Singh won when Great Gama made Samu submit to the Camel Clutch Road Warriors & “Wild Man” Jack Armstrong vs. Ken Patera, One Man Gang & “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell The Roadies’ partner was originally supposed to be Moose Cholak, but after his retirement at the hands of Kaissie’s Krew, Armstrong was brought in as a replacement. Kaissie’s Krew won when Blackwell hit a running splash on Armstrong. AWA American Title Match : Tito Santana © vs. Super Destroyer After a hard fought match that looked like it might go to a time limit draw, Santana won when he hit the Mexican Hammer out of nowhere for the pin. The Garvin Brothers vs. The Wild Bills In a crazy brawl, this match went to a double DQ when everything broke down and both teams were fighting in the ring at the same time. AWA Southern Title match : Buddy Rose © vs. Mr. Olympia Olympia looked like he would finally get the title when he got the Sleeper hold on Rose, but Rose was able to get a hold of the ropes and pull both men out of the ring. Olympia would not let go of the hold on the outside and , as a result, both men were counted out. After the match, Rose got on the ringside mic and declared that Olympia had just had his last shot at the title. AWA Canadian Title match : Rick Martel © vs. Bob Sweetan In possibly his toughest title defense yet, Martel was able to hold onto the title after a slingshot splash. AWA World Title match : Hulk Hogan © vs. Paul Orndorff Orndorff came out accompanied by Sheikh Kaissie and the rest of Kaissie’s Krew. Hogan came out wearing both a neck collar and bandages on his ribs, and both were clearly targeted by Orndorff throughout the match. Orndorff attacked him like a wild dog, pounding his ribs with punches and wrenching the champ’s neck every chance he could get. Hogan kept fighting back and kept escaping Orndorff’s attempts to get him in the piledriver, but it looked like time was running out for the Hulkster. He was able to rally with some big power moves, but made the mistake of ducking his head too soon for a back body drop attempt, and Orndorff hit him with a nasty elbow smash on the back of his head that clearly hurt Hogan’s already damaged neck. Although exhausted, Orndorff was finally able to get the Piledriver on Hogan that seemed to knock the champ out, before Orndorff staggered back, drained from the effort. At this point the match took a strange turn, as One Man Gang immediately rushed into the ring and hit the running splash right in front of the ref, leading to the immediate call for Orndorff to lose the match by DQ. Orndorff was furious with Gang, Patera and the rest of the Krew, but Kaissie’s Krew didn’t seem to care.

AWA All-Star Wrestling for March 29th Gama Singh vs. Samu It is revealed that the mystery man who interfered in the Cuban Commanos’ matches last week is the Great Gama Singh. Singh was accompanied to the ring by the Commandos as he squared off against the always popular “Samoan Dynamite”, Samu. Singh proceeded to bully Samu all over the ring and, although Samu kept firing back with flurries of offense, Singh was always able to bring the match back under his control before locking him in the Cobra Clutch and getting the win in his AWA in-ring debut. Badd Company vs. The Latin Lovers While these teams have been very familiar with each other of late, for this match Badd Companied were joined at ringside by a blonde haired man wearing a suit. While he never made direct contact with the Lovers, he constantly provided a distraction to Perez and Valentino, hurling insults and seeming on the verge of taking a swing at the popular tag team . This proved too much for the normally amiable Valentino, who started shouting back at the blonde man. This was a big mistake, as when he turned his attention back to the match, he was met with a thrust kick to the jaw by Tanaka that got the quick pin. It looks like more than one tag team is bringing in a new ally to give them an edge. Perhaps the other teams need to catch up. Paul Orndorff vs. “Wild Man” Jack Armstrong This was Armstrong’s second go around with Mr. Wonderful and he was very determined to not have a repeat of his previous match, which was a quick loss for him. He was extremely aggressive from the get go, blasting Orndorff with huge shoulder blocks and slams. Orndorff, for his part, was equally determined to have an impressive showing before his world title shot in Winnipeg, and swiftly rallied to get in his own impressive moves on the Wild Man. The two went at it fist and fire in a match that went back and forth with both men going all out until Armstrong tried to take out Orndorff with the running clothesline. Orndorff ducked at the last second and caught Armstrong coming the other way with a powerslam. He then picked up Armstrong and dropped him on his head with a brutal piledriver. This, however, was not enough for Orndorff, who the lifted up Armstrong and hit a second piledriver before finally going for and getting the pin. Champion Hulk Hogan had best watch out, as Orndorff quite clearly means business. Road Warrior Animal vs. “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell After surviving the challenges of the Wild Samoans and the Assassins, the Road Warriors were staring down the barrel of possibly their toughest challenge yet in Kaissie’s Krew. In this match, Animal and Crusher Blackwell were facing off in a solo match up of power vs. bulk, and it looked like it could have gone either way. Blackwell proved resistant to any attempt to slam him and seemed to do a lot of damage with his own offense. Animal went to blasting Blackwell with clotheslines and, while he was not able to get Crusher off his feet, he did seem to be gradually wearing him down. He finally nailed a mighty shoulder block that sent Blackwell crashing out of the ring and Blackwell was unable to make it back in by the bell, resulting in a countout victory for Animal. That didn’t stop Blackwell from grabbing Animal after the bell and hitting a powerslam on the big Road Warrior. This prompted both Hawk and One Man Gang to rush to the ring and, while the two teams looked set to throw down, the AWA officials interceded and told them to keep it for the next tag match. Ron Garvin vs. “Wild” Bill Irwin This was another matchup of members of feuding tag teams, with Irwin and his partner in the Wild Bills Billy Jack Haynes returning from their extended tour of Europe to plunge headlong in Col. Robley’s Army’s war against the Garvins. Seemingly learning from the previous match on the card, both men had their partners out and in their corner from the get go. There was no finesse in this match with these two tough customers brawling inside and outside the ring until Irwin just said to hell with it and grabbed his bullrope, nailing Garvin in the head with the cowbell and drawing the DQ. This generated the predictable response from Gorgeous Jimmy and Billy Jack and the two teams proceeded to tear up the ringside area, requiring a whole squad of AWA refs to try and cool the situation down. Mr. Olympia & Rick Martel vs. Buddy Rose & Bob Sweetan In the latest match in Mr. Olympia’s ongoing issues with the Playboy Club, he brought in the always popular Canadian champ Rick Martel. The two fan favorites worked like a well oiled machine as they were able to keep the Playboy Club from ever getting their offense coordinated, befuddling them with an array of quick tags and double team moves. For a short while, Rose was able to rally against Olympia but the masked man came back with a precision dropkick assisted by a schoolboy trip by Martel. Sweetan came in to break it up but Martel blocked him while Olympia got the pinfall. He had managed to get a victory over the Southern champ, but would he be able to get it done when the title was on the line?

Small correction, shuffling things around ... will be using Gama Singh and possibly Chick Donovan on my remaining March shows as neither Cholak nor Lefebvre will be active on my roster in that time. Javier Cruz will not come back in until the April shows, so he will be my +1. Sorry for the confusion.

The second AWA wrestler released is "Mad Dog" Pierre Lefebvre.

AWA show Night Of The Cage in the Mecca, Milwaukee, March 22nd Elimination match : The Latin Lovers & The Can-Am Express vs. The Cuban Commandos & Badd Company The Cuban Commandos were accompanied by the same man who interfered in their TV match. Both Cuban Commandos were the sole survivors when Phil Lafon (the last survivor of his team) came off the ropes but was tripped by the mystery man, leading to him staggering and getting hit with a DDT by Angel Acevedo. Samu & “Wildman” Jack Armstrong vs. One Man Gang & “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell Kaissie’s Krew won when Gang landed on Samu with the 747 Splash . Greg Gagne & The Mothership Connection vs. Ed Wiskowski, Rip Oliver & Bob Sweetan The Playboy Club won when “Bruiser” Bob Sweetan hit the Piledriver on Iceman Parsons Tito Santana & The Garvin Brothers vs. Manny Fernandez, “The Tank” Mike Shaw & Super Destroyer In a lengthy and chaotic brawl, Fernandez ducked the Hands Of Stone punch from Ron Garvin only to run right into the Mexican Hammer. Santana and the Garvins were triumphant but didn’t get long to savor their victory as they were immediately jumped by “Wild” Bill Irwin and Billy Jack Haynes. The Wild Bills are back and the entire Army beat down the fan favorites until the AWA officials cleared them from the ring. AWA Southern Title Cage match : Buddy Rose © vs. Mr. Olympia Olympia has been worn down by his dual wars with the Sinister Six and the Playboy Club, but really put it to the Southern Champ, battering and bouncing him around the cage. Buddy Rose showed why he is the Southern champ as he got out of a number of close calls, but it looked like it was all over for him when Olympia got the Sleeper hold on him. In desperation, Rose was able to make it to the corner and kick back, forcing Olympia down onto the match with all of Rose’s weight on his chest and letting go of the hold. Rose was able to drape an arm over the exhausted Olympia to get the pinfall. Loser Leaves Town Cage Match : Da Crusher vs. “Mad Dog” Pierre Lefebvre These two unloaded their full hatred on each other in a bloody brawl which saw Lefebvre’s axe handle be used by both men in the match. In the end, it came down two the two men exchanging lefts and rights in the middle of the cage. Crusher was able to uncork one massive running Bolo Punch that knocked Lefebvre off his feet and get the win to send the Mad Dog out of the AWA. AWA World Tag Title Cage Match : The Road Warriors © vs. The Assassins After a number of brutally intense matches, The Assassins were going all out in trying to wrest the belts from the Road Warriors. The Assassins came incredibly close on several occasions to winning the belts as they trapped Animal in their end of the cage and hit a massive double back suplex on him. Animal was able to gut it out and press slammed Assassin # 2 over his head before throwing him into the cage and tagging in Hawk. The two Road Warriors double teamed Assassin # 1, finding every way they could to ram him into the cage before hitting a big spike piledriver on him for the hard fought victory. AWA World Title Cage Match : Hulk Hogan © vs. Ted Dibiase Hogan had faced Dibiase on two prior occasions and , while Dibiase had not gotten the title, Hogan had failed to get a decisive victory over his wily rival. Both men seemed equally determined that tonight would be the night that the balance would tip in their favor. In a ferocious match that went back and forth, Dibiase took full advantage of the No DQ conditions of the cage match to pound him with the loaded glove, jackhammering Hogan’s bandaged ribs as well as busting open his forehead. When he got the figure four on Hogan and the champ made it to the ropes, Dibiase refused to let go of the hold and looked like he was going to full on break Hogan’s leg. Hogan was able to fight his way out of the hold but the damage had been done. Dibiase had Hogan on his knees in the corner and was just raining down punches on his battered face until, out of nowhere, Hogan caught his fist and looked up at him through his bloodied face with rage in his eyes. Hogan dragged himself up to his feet and fired back at Dibiase before he was able to wrest the glove from his hand and then paid back some dues with loaded punches of his own. He was then able to level him with an Axe Bomber before dropping the Big Leg on Dibiase to get the hard earned one-two-three. Hogan had held onto the belt, but at what cost?

AWA All-Star Wrestling for March 22nd The Assassins vs. The Latin Lovers The Assassins were gearing up for their big cage match for the AWA World Tag titles in Milwaukee but the Latin Lovers were determined not to be overlooked, giving as good as they got in every exchange with the bigger team. They did their best to not be distracted by Col. Buck Robley attempting to interfere from ringside, but in the end it was a mistimed attempt at a back body drop with Vinnie Valentino ducking his head too soon led to Assassin # 1 catching Valentino with a nasty elbow smash to the back of the head that led to a win for the masked men. AWA American Title match : Tito Santana © vs. Manny Fernandez These two men are quite familiar with each other, having squared off numerous times with usually Santana coming out the victor. Fernandez , however, was incredibly aggressive and it was all the champion could do to keep control of the match. Tito was just barely able to duck out of the way of the Flying Burrito forearm at one point in the match, but later on missed his own attempt at the Mexican Hammer. The two fierce competitors were still slugging it out as the bell rang to signal a 15 minute time limit draw. Samu vs. “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell The big Crusher has just been rolling over the competition of late, including doing a lot of damage to Hulk Hogan in his recent title shot, and just seemed to overwhelm the always popular “Samoan Dynamite”. No matter what Samu tried to do on offence, he was unable to knock Blackwell down and his increasingly reckless attempts to get him off his feet led to Samu getting caught in mid-air and being crushed by a powerslam that got the pin for the Mountain From Stone Mountain. AWA Southern Tag Titles match : The Cuban Commandos © vs. The Can-Am Express The young team of the new Can-Am Express put in their best effort yet against the Commandos, keeping them off balance with their fast paced, high flying moves, and looking on a number of occasions like they would take the titles. It seemed like they just might pull it off as Tom Zenk went up top to hit a flying splash on Morrow but, while the ref was separating Lafon and Acevedo, a mysterious man appeared at ringside, knocked Zenk off the top to send him plummeting to the floor and then dashed back to the locker room. Zenk was unable to recover in time and the Commandos won by count out. It seems that the Cuban Commandos now have a sinister new ally watching their backs. Greg Gagne vs. Ed Wiskowski In this match between the surly enforcer of the Playboy Club and the long time AWA fan favorite, Wiskowski looked to be trying to take out his frustration for his earlier loss to Mr. Olympia on the second generation superstar. Gagne kept his head and gradually let the Polish Prince tire himself out until he was able to draw Wiskowski into trying to lariat him in the corner only to duck out of the way at the last moment. When Wiskowski staggered back, Gagne took him down with a dropkick and followed up with a second rope kneedrop before putting him in the Gagne Leglock. This was the cue for Wiskowski’s Playboy Club partners, Bob Sweetan and Rip Oliver, to come out but they found their way to the ring blocked by the Mothership Connection, Iceman Parsons and Master Gee. With no rescue forthcoming, Wiskowski had no choice but to give up the match. Mr. Olympia vs. The Masked Superstar Olympia has been fighting a war on two fronts of late, both helping out his good friend Hulk Hogan in his battles with the Sinister Six while dealing with his own issues with the Playboy Club at the same time, and it definitely seems to have taken a toll on the masked fan favorite. Masked Superstar came to the ring with his partner, Ted Dibiase, who proved to be a thorn in Olympia’s side throughout the match. Despite all of this, Olympia managed to stay competitive throughout the match and looked like he would get the win when he got the Sleeper hold on Superstar. It was at this point that Dibiase came in the ring and slugged Olympia with the loaded glove, leading to the DQ loss for Superstar. The two men proceeded to beat down Olympia until the AWA officials ran them off.

Definitely kicking things off with a bang, looking forward to where you go with this.

After the repeated incidences of interference in the last several matches between AWA champion Hulk Hogan and the members of the Sinister Six, AWA officials were in a quandary as to what measures to take. Their first planned response to threaten fines and suspension for future interference wound up getting tied up by Sheikh Adnan Kaissie's team of high powered lawyers. At least as far as the next show in Milwaukee goes, they have managed to come up with a short term measure to at least curb some interference by Kaissie's men. The theme of the show will be Night Of The Cage. On a major card on March 22nd, there will be 4 big cage matches, including : AWA World Title match AWA World Tag Titles match AWA Southern Titles match And a loser leaves town match. There will also be several other major matches announced, including a 6 man tag featuring AWA American Champion Tito Santana and the Garvin Brothers facing Col. Robley's Army.

When writing my TV, I tend to start by seeing what the card will be for the weekend house show and then come up with TV matches that will set things up for that card, or otherwise further existing feuds. I actually moved up the Santana tag match ahead in the card because I didn't want to end with a string of heel beatdowns.

AWA show at the Salt Palace, Salt Lake City, March 15th , 1984 Can-Am Express & The Latin Lovers vs. Badd Company & the Cuban Commandos Badd Company and the Commandos won when Gerry Morrow reversed a Tom Zenk cross body press into a power slam Mothership Connection vs. Bob Sweetan & Rip Oliver Mothership Connection won when Parsons hit the Rumper Stumper on Oliver Samu vs. Manny Fernandez Fernandez won when he got the Flying Burrito Forearm on Samu AWA Southern Title match : Buddy Rose © vs. Mr. Olympia Olympia won by DQ but did not win the title when he was attacked by the rest of the Playboy Club AWA Tag Titles match : The Road Warriors © vs. One Man Gang & Jerry Blackwell The Warriors were looking to get revenge for Kaissie’s Krew’s attack on their good friend Moose Cholak, who it was just announced had to retire due to his injuries at the hands of Crusher and Gang . A lengthy brawl ensued with all four men being busted open and the ref finally having to throw out the match with Hawk and Gang both slugged him for trying to separate the two teams. Tito Santana & Greg Gagne vs. Ken Patera & Paul Orndorff After a long back and forth match, an attempted double team by Patera went awry when Gagne ducked out of the way at the last moment and Patera hit Orndorff instead. Tito quickly hit the Mexican Hammer on Orndoff and got the crowd pleasing victory. Orndorff was clearly unhappy with Patera afterwards. AWA World Title match : Hulk Hogan © vs. Masked Superstar Hogan has been showing signs of the increasing damage done to him by the Sinister Six and has had a lot of difficulty getting a clean victory over the members of the villainous syndicate. It looked like he might finally get one when, after a particularly brutal bout, he just barely managed to duck the flying clothesline from Superstar and came back to hit the Axe Bomber on the masked man. No sooner had he knocked him down, though, than Ted Dibiase stormed the ring and started pummeling him with the loaded glove. Superstar then hit the Corkscrew Neckbreaker that clearly hurt Hogan’s already damaged neck. After the ref called for the DQ, the AWA officials were seen conferring about what to do about this situation.

For the AWA's +1, we are picking up "Golden" Chick Donovan. We are also adding to the roster Gama Singh and welcoming back Javier Cruz. To make way for them on the roster, we are releasing "Golden" Moose Cholak (can only have on "Golden" on the roster, after all) and another wrestler who will be revealed after the next set of shows (March 22nd) get posted. (Not trying to be coy, just don't want to reveal my booking until it gets posted. The new wrestlers will not appear on AWA shows until I start posting April shows.)

AWA All-Star Wrestling for March 15th Mr. Olympia vs. Ed Wiskowski Olympia has been deep in an ongoing war with the Playboy Club and this time was taking on the powerhouse “Polish Prince”. Wiskowski opened a barrage of devastating offense on Olympia, looking to do as much damage as he could before the masked man took on Buddy Rose for the Southern Title. Olympia weathered the storm, however, and battled back until he ultimately got the Powerlock (Figure Four) on the Prince, forcing him to give up the match. But that was not enough for Olympia, who refused to let go of the hold after the bell until Rose and the rest of the Playboy Club came into the ring and attacked them. Even after that, the didn’t get him down for long as he proceeded to dropkick all of the Club members out of the ring, and the last thing they saw as they fled was Olympia standing tall in the ring. AWA Southern Title match : “Playboy” Buddy Rose © vs. Tom Zenk Say what you will about Buddy Rose and his tactics, he has ducked no one in defending his newly won AWA Southern title. This time out, he was taking on the fiery young newcomer, Tom Zenk of the Can-Am Express. For his part, Zenk gave a very good accounting of himself , looking at a few points like he just might pull off the upset and win the Southern title. In the end, however, it was his impetuousness that would prove his downfall, as he went up top to finish Rose off with the flying dropkick far too soon. Rose dodged the move and Zenk landed hard on the mat. One Inside Out Backbreaker later, and it was another successful title defense for the Playboy. Tito Santana & the Latin Lovers vs. “Mad Dog” Pierre Lefebvre & Badd Company Throughout the match, Lefebvre was clearly distracted, constantly looking back to the locker room. His paranoia would prove justified as his nemesis, Da Crusher , would come out to the ring and make his presence felt. Lebfebvre would head immediately to the ring aisle and start brawling with Crusher while, in the ring, Santana took advantage of the distraction to hit Tanaka with the Mexican Hammer into a Perez German Suplex for the victory. Badd Company were distinctly displeased with this result but, seeing they were outnumbered, decided not to push the point. Bob Sweetan vs. Master Gee In a match pitting the tough “Bruiser” Bob against the quick Master Gee, Sweetan was able to grind down Master Gee until he was able to hit the Piledriver to get the win. This was not enough for Sweetan, however, who tried to set up Master Gee for a second piledriver after the match. Iceman Parsons immediately came to his partner’s rescue and broke that up, provoking Rip Oliver to come to the ring to take the side of his fellow Playboy Club member and the two sides brawled until the AWA officials split them up. “Crusher” Jerry Blackwell vs. Moose Cholak In a battle of two huge veterans, Blackwell was accompanied at ringside by his Sinister Six/Kaissie’s Krew partner, One Man Gang. This match looked like it could have gone either way, but when Cholak was trying to take down Blackwell with lariats, the Mountain From Stone Mountain caught him with a massive power slam to get the win. The moment after the victory was announced, One Man Gang ran into the ring and hit Cholak with a running splash before he and Blackwell proceeded to beat down the big Moose with the chain, clearly looking to put Cholak out of wrestling for good. “Wildman” Jack Armstrong rushed out to put a halt to this, but got a chain to the face for his troubles. The Road Warriors then came out swinging chairs to run them off but Cholak had clearly been very badly hurt. Hulk Hogan & Jack Armstrong vs. Ted Disbiase & Masked Superstar Armstrong was still hurt from the previous match, so Hogan brought out his good friend, Mr. Olympia , to partner him for his match with two members of the Sinister Six. Dibiase and Superstar took advantage of Olympia still being tired from his earlier match by cutting the ring in half and preventing him from tagging out to Hogan as they beat him down. Olympia was able to rally and dropkick both his opponents before making the hot tag out to Hogan. Unfortunately for him, the ref did not see the tag and, as he was ushering Hogan out of the ring, Dibiase took advantage of the distraction to clobber Olympia with the loaded glove, setting him up to be pinned by Superstar. Superstar then looked to hit the Corkscrew Neckbreaker on Olympia post match, but Hogan charged in to his friend’s rescue and put a stop to that.

Great first show in Texas, excellent use of Baby Doll.

I'm good with that.

Am I the only one who is especially psyched to see Landell in Stampede?

I can give Adrian Street a home , if nobody objects. I have a few things I can do with him.

I think we can probably figure it out among us without going to a draft. If someone else wants the RnR, I would gladly take the Bodies.

I'd be interested in either of the tag teams.

I believe, in our universe at least, Maple Leaf put out a tape before they folded.

I approve.

I like to steal from a variety of sources, and I am shamelessly ripping of a classic comic book storyline with the Hogan angle. Stay tuned! I tend to stack the San Francisco shows since they are so far from home base, they would do every thing they can to draw in the big houses. I also have Buddy Rose with a history in the bay area, so I put him in a title defense rather than a tag match. Orndorff and Tito are two guys who are going to be very much front and center this year.

Do we get an extra slot on our roster starting April 1st? Looking to make some alterations in my mid-card but want to hold off so I can make them all at once.

Who are the All-Americans? Rotundo and Williams?

AWA show at the Cow Palace, San Francisco, March 9th Mr. Olympia vs. Rip Oliver Although he came in with his ribs taped up from the attack by One Man Gang on AWA All-Star Wrestling, Olympia was still able to get the victory with the Powerlock . Post-match, the other members of the Playboy Club charged the ring and kicked Olympia in the ribs a few times before running off Badd Company vs. The Latin Lovers The Latin Lovers won when Al Perez hit the Alley-Copter on Pat Tanaka. True to form, Badd Company ambushed the Lovers after the end of the match. Greg Gagne vs. Ted Dibiase Dibiase won with a loaded glove shot that the ref did not see The Garvin Brothers vs. “The Tank” Mike Shaw & “Ragin’ Bull” Manny Fernandez In a bloody brawl, the Garvins won when Jimmy hit a brainbuster on Fernandez AWA Southern Title match : Buddy Rose © vs. Samu Rose won after getting the Inside Out Backbreaker on Samu AWA Southern Tag titles match : The Cuban Commandos © vs. The Mothership Connection The Commandos won after catching Master Gee in a double DDT. AWA American Title match : Tito Santana © vs. Paul Orndorff Santana and Orndorff went to a 30 minute time limit draw AWA World Tag Titles match : The Road Warriors © vs. The Assassins The Assassins came incredibly close to winning the belts after hitting a huge double back suplex on Animal and getting a 2.9999999 count, but Animal was able to tag out to Hawk, and they were ultimately able to defend their titles when they got a double flying shoulder tackle on Assassin #2 AWA World Title match : Hulk Hogan © vs. One Man Gang Gang was accompanied by both Sheikh Kaissie and Ken Patera, but Patera did not get involved in the match other than to glare at Hogan. After a truly epic brawl between the two huge men, the match ended when, out of nowhere, Gang went to ringside, brought back in his chain and hit Hogan in the head with it, leading to an immediate DQ. He proceeded to lash Hogan in the ribs with his chain until the AWA officials interceded and stood between him and the champ. Gang then held the chain high over his head and laughed while looking out to Patera, who nodded approvingly from ringside.
