AWA All-Star Wrestling for the weekend of December 16th Tito Santana vs. Maj. Cal Manson This was the first appearance in the AWA for the popular Mexican firebrand. Manson, the Second In Command of the army , had his “Commanding Officer”, Col. Buck Robley, in his corner. Robley grew more frantic at ringside as Santana easily dominated Manson, showing the fans why he had established himself as one of the top wrestlers in the world. After Santana had hit the Mexican Hammer (flying forearm) and gotten the pin, Robley charged the ring and attacked Santana. Santana fought back and soon dropkicked Robley out of the ring. By this point, Manson had recovered and grabbed a chair from ringside and looked to attack Santana, but Santana reflexively dropkicked him and hit the chair, sending the chair hard into Manson’s own head. This knocked Manson out cold and he had to be helped from ringside. Lord Humongous vs. Dominic Denucci Lord Humongous had been dominating most of his opposition since his recent return, and looked like he was trying to make an example of Denucci. He badly battered Denucci with slams and power moves before sending him into the ropes, catching him in a sideslam then driving Denucci’s back down hard into Humongous’ own knee to polish him off. Interview Segment : Mean Gene is in the ring. Gene : Folks, my next guest has been having a lot of trouble lately with Eddie Mansfield and the Minnesota Heartbreakers. Here to give his comments on that situation is Mr. Olympia! Olympia comes out to the cheers of the fans. Gene : Mr. Olympia, Mansfield and the Heartbreakers had been given warning that sanctions would be taken if any of them were to continue interfering in your matches, and after their attack on you last week, the AWA officials were looking to issue fines and possible suspensions for them. However, I’ve gotten word that you intervened and requested that no measures be taken against them. What gives? Olympia : Let me tell you, Mean Gene, there’s a lot more to that story. Yes, I did request that they neither fine nor suspend Mansfield and his crew, and they granted me that request. But that is because I wanted something else to be done with them. What’s going to happen is a special match at the Milwaukee show. I’m going to take on all of the Minnesota Heartbreakers *and* Mansfield, one at a time. If I beat one of them, that guy is out of the AWA. If any of them beat me, I’m gone. That is the only way I get those idiots out of my, err, mask, once and for all. Gene : All four of them in one night, Mr. Olympia? Good grief! Don’t you think you’ve bitten off a bit more than you can chew? Olympia : Gene, I am so sick of them messing in my business, I will do whatever it takes to put a stop to this. That is why I have put a special condition in the contract : if any one of them interferes at all during the course of the match, they will *all* be banned from the AWA at once. I am confident that I can outlast all of them, and in Milwaukee, one war or another, this comes to an end. Ken Patera vs. Vinnie Valentino Although Valentino has had wrestled in singles matches before, there was no trace of his partner in the Latin Lovers, Javier Cruz, at all in the building tonight. This seemed to throw off Valentino, who had a hard time getting his offense out of first gear with the powerful Patera, and an attempt to get the win with a running crossbody was caught and turned into a shoulder breaker that got the win for the former Olympian. Ron Garvin vs. Ed Wiskowski The Man with the Hands Of Stone was also making his debut in the AWA, taking on one half of the Brotherhood of Poland, and he came out accompanied by none other than Da Crusher. Wiskowski brought his partner, Ivan Putski, out with him and to say that the presence of the two former friends was a distraction would be understatement. As the big “Polish Prince” did battle in the ring with the cagey veteran, Crusher and Pustki jawed with each other until they finally came to blows. Wiskowski looked to take advantage of the ref being distracted by this by reaching into his trunks and pulling out a set of brass knucks. Before he could use this unfair advantage, however, Garvin caught him right on the point of the jaw with a massive, lightning quick punch that put his light out. Garvin got the pinfall on Wiskowski as the Prince’s partner and his manager, Precious, looked on in slack jawed astonishment at how much the Hands Of Stone deserved his nickname. Interview Segment : Mean Gene is once again in the ring. Gene : Folks, my next guest is just returning from a very successful tour of Japan and is clearly looking forward to being back here in the good ole USA. Ladies and gentlemen, the AWA World Champion … Hulk Hogan! “Eye Of The Tiger” plays over the arena PA as the Hulkster , World Title belt wrapped around his waist, makes his way to the ring, taking time to give high fives to the clearly adoring fans. Mean Gene : Hulkster, it’s been a while since we have gotten to see you in person but word got back to us of the great matches you have been having in Japan. Hogan : Well, y’know, Mean Gene … after that dirty attack by Riki Choshu before I left, I was determined to show them why I was the AWA champ and not to be messed with . But I stood tall and came out of that tour still the champion of the world. The Japanese fans were amazing and very appreciative of the matches I had, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t glad to be back here in the AWA among my friends and fans. Mean Gene : Hulk, it was a bit surprising to see that your first opponent after your return will be Mid South star Ted Dibiase, especially after the grueling match you two had just over a month ago in the Twin Cities. Any thoughts? Hogan : Let me tell you, Mean Gene … if the Hulkster is anything, he is a fighting champion. Dibiase took he to the limit in one of the toughest matches of my life, and if he wants another shot, I say sign me up! I duck no challengers and won’t be satisfied until I prove that I am the undisputed champion of the world! Samu vs. Apocalypse These two had been waging war with each other over the past several weeks and it would reach a climax tonight. The masked man came out with his manager, Col. Buck Robley, with both men dressed in full camouflage colors and Robley wearing a military helmet. Samu and Apocalypse tore into each other, with the balance of power going back and forth and both men were bloody by the end of it. When Apocalypse caught a crossbody attempt by Samu and turned it into a back breaker, then applied the Camel Clutch, it looked like that was it for “Samoan Dynamite” . But Samu gritted his teeth and refused to give in, and managed to slowly make his way over to the ropes, causing the ref to break up the hold. While the ref was checking on Samu, Robley jumped on the ring apron and looked to throw his helmet in to Apocalypse, but Tito Santana came to ringside and chased off the Colonel. Apocalypse left the ring to recover the dropped helmet, but by the time he got back in, Samu had recovered and greeted him with a big thrust kick to the face. Wisely choosing to spare his damaged back and forego both the Dynamite Drop and the Dynamite Dive, he instead gave Apocalypse a sharp DDT on top of the helmet, finally getting the victory over the masked man.

Screw you, Buzz Sawyer!

Awesome!

Working to get this up to date and straightened out. Have all of the current picks updated in the first post. Previous MACW and International had selections that I have removed, although International had selections that conflicted with other ones. Gene, do you want to take up those previous MACW bookings for Hansen? (12th to 14th) They are yours if you want them.

1) Ole Anderson still needs to be taken off the Big Time roster 2) Don Carson (Big Time) and Eddie Creachman (Florida) should be listed as managers

Nothing to do with anything, but it wasn't until I was looking over my roster in the database thread that I realized I had drafted three straight guys named Mike.

Sounds right by me, Gene ... if you loan someone out with nothing in return, work around it.

Here are my thoughts. The 36 wrestler cap applies to spots on your full time roster. Loans are aside from that, as are appearances by freelancers. I am sending Bob Smith to Southeastern for the next 3 weeks and in return he is sending me Dave Johnson for the same period. All good. I am sending Bob Smith to Southeastern for the next 3 weeks and taking nothing in return (or future considerations or whatever) and will be fine with the rest of my roster while he is gone. All good. I am sending Bob Smith to Southeastern for the next 3 weeks and taking nothing in return, but now I have a gap in my shows that I need to fill ... perhaps there should be an allowance to take on Steve Wilson from the Free Agent list on a temporary basis, with the understanding that the moment Bob Smith comes back, Steve Wilson is gone back to the Free Agent list. Makes sense? Too complicated?

Everyone in the red letters on my roster will be released to free agency. If it is alright with everyone, I would like a week or so with them on my roster to phase them out, before phasing in my new people . There are a couple of people on my roster that were picked up by other promoters. I have already discussed Lord Humongous. If it is alright with you, LBP, I would like to have this week with Boris Zukhov to send him off.

"Suit dummy" Another cracking show, good work.

I was wondering when the other shoe was going to drop with Miss Linda. Then again, when Street went, there wasn't that much likelihood of her being grabbed by someone else.

Damn, Stomper being picked up this late is a reminder that there is still a lot of good talent left in the draft.

In a move that will no doubt shock the world of wrestling, with their final pick the AWA selects ... "Mad Dog" Pierre Lefebvre. Now for Gene and Kevin to make their picks, and MACW and Stampede can be left to divide what is left of Gaul between them.

The AWA brings "Wildman" Jack Armstrong back into the fold.

Stampede will take "Golden" Moose Cholak.

It was more of an exhausted hand slap ... it's 83 Road Warriors and they just went 30 minutes, cut them some slack.

The AWA welcomes back Vinnie Valentino.

http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/31376-american-wrestling-association-results/page-8 Hey, kids, the AWA is now up to date! Big huge thanks to all of the various promoters who helped me through this Hogan-less time with their generous talent sharing. Looking forward to all kinds of excitement in the post-redistribution era. For those wondering about the mystery partners in the most recent house show. although both wrestlers were recently drafted by me, they were appearing as a part of an earlier talent arrangement with their original promoter that gave them to me for the month of December. The draft just ensured that they will be continuing with the AWA full time after that. Similar to that, the Super Destroyer's appearances have been a part of a similar talent arrangement.

AWA show at the Cow Palace, San Francisco, December 9th Samu vs. Apocalypse After an intense bout , Samu was about to put Apocalypse away with the Dynamite Drop, Col. Buck Robley broke it up with a lariat to the back of the head, leading to a DQ The Wild Bills vs. The Fantastics The Wild Bills were clearly looking to bully the Fantastics like they had the Latin Lovers. The Fantastics had faced some tough competition in Mid South and weren’t about to be intimidated by the Bills. After a spectacular back and forth match, while the ref was escorting Billy Jack out of the ring, Bobby Fulton tried to take Irwin down with a sunset flip, but Irwin, cowbell in hand, blocked it by grabbing Fulton by the hair and was about to bring the cowbell down hard on his head. However, Tommy Rodgers came to the rescue with a spectacular dropkick on Irwin, and Fulton was able to roll through with the sunset flip. The ref got back just in time to count the pin and, despite the protests of Col. Buck Robley, the Fantastics got the win. Mr. Olympia, Tony Atlas & The Latin Lovers vs. Eddie Mansfield & The Minnesota Heartbreakers Once again, Mansfield did his best to avoid getting in the ring and left the Heartbreakers to get knocked across the mat by the opposition. Tony Atlas forced Tom Stanton to give up to a big bear hug, but Mansfield will soon have to pay the piper for his recent actions against Mr. Olympia . Wahoo McDaniel vs. Lord Humongous Both men were a bloody mess by the end of this match. Wahoo managed to get the hockey mask off Humongous and laid down some massive chops on his exposed head, but Humongous was not a one trick pony and used his massive power to hit some devastating slams on McDaniel. Humongous sought to polish him off with a lariat, but Wahoo ducked at the last moment and came back off the opposite rope with a Tomahawk chop to get the win. McDaniel got the victory , but both men looked like they had gone through the wringer. Greg Gagne & ? Vs. Paul Orndorff, Super Destroyer & Jimmy Garvin Orndorff and his partners were clearly confident as they came out to the ring, and were even more confident when Greg Gagne came out by himself. Their cocky smiles turned into frowns, however, when Gagne signaled to the back and brought out …. Jim Brunzell and Phil LaFon ! Brunzell had a long association with Gagne as part of the High Flyers and brought with him the Canadian sensation, Phil LaFon, with whom he had teamed in Quebec. This exciting new triad stymied the villains with their fast paced moves and technical wrestling, never losing their cool when their opponents tried to bring the match down into the dirt with cheap tactics. After an exciting match, a gasp went up from the crowd when LaFon hit the huge Super Destroyer with a cobra clutch suplex, and when Orndorff and Garvin tried to come in to break up the pin, they were met by precision dropkicks from Brunzell and Gagne. With this victory, it looked like Gagne had finally found the right allies to take on Orndorff’s crew, but time will tell how this pans out for them. Iceman Parsons, Jerry Lawler & "Wildman" Jack Armstrong vs. Ken Patera, Mike George & Boris Zukhov Parsons and Armstrong once again worked with Parsons’ friend , the King Of Memphis Jerry Lawler, to square off with Sheikh Kaissie’s men. The end came when Armstrong looked to finish off George with a bear hug, but Zukhov took advantage of the ref being distracted and hit a chain assisted clothesline to Armstrong’s back. He placed George on top of Armstrong and the Sheikh’s soldiers got the tainted win. AWA World Tag Titles Match : The Road Warriors © vs. The Rock 'n' Roll Express There was a lot of anticipation going into this match, both with the Express’ recent victory over the Brotherhood Of Poland and with the news that the Express had scored a victory over the Warriors in the Memphis territory. This match delivered on every level, with the Warriors devastating power evenly matched with the Express’ high flying expertise. The Express did hit their double dropkick finisher on Hawk, but were unable to capitalize as, when they got up, Animal levelled them with a double clothesline from behind. At one point, Animal got ready to put them away by hoisting Ricky Morton up on his shoulders for the Doomsday Device, but Hawk was unable to administer the top rope clothesline as Robert Gibson had grabbed onto his leg and would not let go, and Morton was able to counter with a victory roll. He got a two count before Hawk had kicked himself free of Gibson and broke it up with an elbow smash. As the match wound down, the Express were able to hit the drop toehold/elbowdrop combo that got them their earlier win, but Animal was able to kick out just in the nick of time. The two teams were still battling it out as the bell rang, signaling a 30 minute time limit draw, but were able to calm down enough afterwards to shake hands as a show of good sportsmanship.

26 countries, mate! (I think, I never could get the number right.)

AWA All-Star Wrestling , December 9th Lord Humongous vs. Tony Russo Lord Humongous has been keeping a relatively low profile since his title matches against Hulk Hogan. Today, he gave a reminder as to why he got a title shot in the first place. He brutally dismantled the Wild Italian, hitting a devastating series of power moves before putting him away with the modified Cobra Clutch. The Wild Bills vs. The Latin Lovers The Wild Bills are gearing up for a match with another fast paced team in the Fantastics and gave an indication of their approach with a furious assault on the well liked Latin Lovers. Valentino and Cruz did their best to hang with the former tag champs but when the Bills hit a brutal double lariat on Cruz, that was all she wrote. Da Crusher vs. Bill Rathke AWA legend Da Crusher clearly had the crowd on his side as he took on journeyman “Big” Bill Rathke, and spent much of his time playing good-naturedly to the fans before knocking Rathke out with a running Bolo punch. Paul Orndorff vs. Stan Stasiak “Mr. Wonderful” has been on quite the tear as of late while he heads towards the ultimate show down with AWA stalwart Greg Gagne, and this time out was facing former World champ Stan Stasiak. Stasiak put up some of the stiffest opposition Orndorff has faced yet, resisting Orndorff’s attempts to injure his arm and take the Heart Punch out of the equation, all the while firing back with big haymakers. He tried to get Orndorff in position for the Heart Punch with a lariat, but Orndorff ducked and hit his own lariat. One piledriver later and “Mr. Wonderful” had gotten another win. Iceman Parsons & “Wildman” Jack Armstrong vs. Boris Zukhov & Mike George The American champ Parsons and his good friend “The Wildman” have been having their share of troubles with Sheikh Kaissie’s men, with Parsons targeted by Ken Patera for his title and Armstrong feuding with Boris Zukhov. The threat of Patera interfering hung over this match, but for the time being, the Olympic strongman seemed to be waiting for his ideal shot, and Parsons got the win for his team when he hit a top rope Rumper Stumper on Zukhov. Eddie Mansfield vs. Mr. Olympia These few have been feuding for quite some time, and for once it seemed like there would be a level playing field with the threat of sanctions in case the Minnesota Heartbreakers interfered. This seemed to play in Olympia’s favor, as he took all of his long time frustration out on Mansfield, dominating him with slams and dropkicks. It looked like he would finally get a decisive victory over the Continental Lover when he got Mansfield in the Sleeper hold … but sure enough, the Minnesota Heartbreakers came running in from the back to attack Olympia, leading to the DQ. The Latin Lovers came out swinging chairs to run them off, and the AWA officials were seen in intense discussion as to what measures would be taken on Mansfield and the Heartbreakers.

Isn't his proper name Jonathan F*cking Boyd?

Eddie Mansfield is back to the AWA.
