Goc if you don't see an issue with the constant upheavals we face then no one will change your mind.

Nobody has to send stuff in if shows are up to date because showcase writer can just read and grab whatever they want.

I agree the time has come to an end for promotions way behind to catch up. There is no point in having someone still stuck in July "be in" because 99 times out of 100, they drop out anyway. This is not directed towards anyone in particular, so please no one get offended. But right now before we go further, people need to put up or get out. Goes for everybody. Just take account of your time and availability and either reup for a serious commitment or not. We just did a role call less than a month ago and we've already had 2 additional drop outs with stampede also basically done. Getting ridiculous

I think all talent should just go into a draft, but we could add automatic first pick for the old merging roster.

I don't think Vancouver should even got the option of taking over. He already absorbed a promotion and most of us haven't. The merger timeline should skip the promotions who already absorbed a promotion. Otherwise it's always going to go back to the same guys Edit - agreed with goc

I'm losing interest fast due to all the shakeups, lack of consistent posting by more than a few of us, as well as lack of feedback aside from dawho5 and a few others. But as I've got my year booked out, I'll continue to post streamlined shows, honor deals previously made, and make new deals as they come. And if I get a second wind by the end of "1983", I'll start to post more. As of now, I'm ignoring anything that doesn't directly influence MACW so if you need to contact me, PM. Saturday October 8th 1983 MACW TV Airing Michael Hayes defeated Tony Zane in a squash with the DDT. NWA Tag Team Titles - Nikolai Volkoff and Krusher Kruschev defeated Hector Guerrero and Terry Taylor when Guerrero turned on Taylor leading the Russians to hit Lenin's Tomb for the win. Taylor and Guerrero seemed to be on the same page, but after Taylor hit Kruschev with a flying forearm and tried to go for the pin, Guerrero jumped on him with a huge Frog Splash. Sneering in disgust, he spit at Taylor and left the ring as the Russians took over. Crockett and Caudle discussed this shocking turn of events while Doug Vines made a rare speaking appearance to introduce his great friend and partner in "The Devil's Duo", Jeff Sword to the MACW audience. NWA TV Title - Terry Gordy defeated Jeff Sword with a powerbomb very easily. Rogers Corner - The Freebirds discussed the shocking Guerrero turn and stated they guaranteed they left Halloween Havoc with the gold. Gordy also declared his annoyance with lack of TV title competition and threw out an open challenge to any wrestler in "these here United States, Mexico, or Japan" to challenge him anytime anywhere. Hayes and Rogers didn't get along well, but both were civil and Harley Race's name was only briefly brought up. Scott Casey defeated Mr. Wrestling II when Dutch Mantell debuted and nailed Wrestling II with the handle of a bullwhip to the back of the head allowing Casey to grab a pin. Casey and Dutch hit the announce booth to celebrate and Casey introduced Dutch as another "real man who don't need to hide his face behind a mask" and said that together they'd run ramshod over Mid-Atlantic and stay undefeated. This brought out Ric Flair who challenged Casey to a fight next week, on TV with his undefeated televised streak on the line. Casey and Dutch hemmed and hawed until Flair called Casey "yellow" and Dutch took it upon himself to accept the match for Casey. Buddy Roberts defeated Tiger Williams with a small package. Crockett and Caudle ran over the weekend's cards. On Saturday MACW takes over Baltimore with a huge card featuring the just made main event of Ric Flair vs. Hector Guerrero and Sunday in Charlotte is headlined by The Russians vs. Hayes and Schultz for the Tag Titles. MAIN EVENT NWA United States Title - The Iron Sheik defeated David Schultz to win the title. Sheik and Schultz brawled around ringside after trading punches and suplexes for the majority of the match. With the referee distracted by the Sheik climbing back into the ring, all three Russians ran out and attacked Schultz, nailing him with a spike piledriver on the floor. Volkoff rolled him back in and Sheik put the unconscious champion into the Camel Clutch and the ref counted him out to give Sheik the title. The show ended with The Russians and The Iron Sheik celebrating at the announce booth holding the Tag Titles and US Title.

Wonderful. And Tully gets murdered by a crazed assassin hired by the Crocketts. This is all fucking stupid. Southeastern would have never picked up the Georgia slot.

Crockett and Turner go back a ways and in this imaginary world he welcomes competition. Sorry. Not playing by your rules.

Looks the NWA is going to run some supershows in the Omni. And Alabama.

Thursday October 6th 1983 MACW Television Taping from the Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia In the most important television show of 1983, Jim Crockett Promotions & Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling throw out all the stops with three king-sized matches! USA vs. Iran - NWA United States Champion David Schultz has never gotten along with The Iron Sheik and their battles reached a climax last month in Greensboro as they battled to a double disqualification. The Sheik still claims he will win the title and rechristen it the NWA Iran Championship and Schultz's hatred is so strong he's willing to give him another chance as these two titans battle for the title once more. Underdogs Have Their Day? - Hector Guerrero and Terry Taylor will unable to dethrone the three-headed Russian NWA Tag Team Champions last month and almost came to blows as a result. However, cooler heads prevailed and after an impressive win over the much larger Vachon brothers last week, the momentum is on their side. Will they be able to overcome the odds and upset whichever Russians choose to defend the prestigious Tag Team Titles? Or will their opposite "fire and ice" personalities finally prove too much for them? Cowboy vs. Legend - "Cowboy" Scott Casey has been undefeated on MACW television with wins over Joe Lightfoot, Billy Two Eagles, The Tonga Kid, and David Von Erich among others all the time talking himself up and spouting hateful rhetoric. Last week Mr. Wrestling II made his return to the Mid-Atlantic area and claimed to have defeated Casey on a show in Mid-South last month, causing Casey to angrily deny such an event took place. Today Wrestling II will have a chance to take Casey down (again?) with the greatest fans in the world watching every moment. Plus... All three Freebirds in singles action and on Rogers' Corner! To be aired on Saturday, October 8th.

Updated

Done with this draft.

Didn't notice I was up. I pass. And fuck off. I'm tired of your bullshit.

MACW adds George Weingroff.

Yes, that seems right.

Thanks Jesse. You are on point with most of your thoughts and I agree about Casey. He is my favorite guy to write for (which came out of nowhere) and he may be getting a partner in crime soon.

Open to trades if you send me a list of available guys on your roster.

JCP selects Super Destroyer!

Mad Dog match was amazing. So happy you booked that feud. I don't even remember if you told me Vachon was going over because I was pleasantly surprised to see that result. Lefebvre gained star power with his showing anyway. I am so syked to see some of those new teams you acquired pop up in the future. Interesting to see both titles held by heels, but what a group of heels they are. I LOVE The Rougeaus and I can't even imagine how good their matches with the Condrey/Rose Midnights would be. The one you wrote sounded great at least. And Tongan Terrors are my jam.

I'll pick up Vince to be my rarely used live event announcement guy to replace my rarely used Tony Schiavone.

Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling begins from Sumter, South Carolina with Bob Caudle and David Crockett running down the day's card, with the two huge number one contender tag team matches of Taylor/Guerrero vs. The Vachons and The Fabulous Freebirds vs. the returning Midnight Express. They reveal that "Cowboy" Scott Casey will appear on Rogers Corner, The Iron Sheik will face Brad Rheingans and that Ric Flair, Terry Gordy, and Mr. Wrestling II will be in action. MATCH #1 Winner Faces Tag Team Champions At Halloween Havoc on 10/29 in Greensboro. The Fabulous Freebirds (Hayes & Roberts) vs. The Midnight Express (Condrey & Rose) (The Midnights make their return to the area following their impressive showing in the NWA World Tag Team Title tournament three months ago. Caudle & Crockett explain how the two tag matches tonight will determine the next two contenders to The Russians' tag titles with the winner of this match battling for the titles in Greensboro at the end of the month, while the winner of today's main event will get a title shot next week. Very fast-paced action right off the bat with all four men throwing in a mix of brawling and comedy to keep the crowd entertained. The Midnights bump around and have some miscommunication spots at the beginning, but after five minutes of Freebirds control, Roberts and Rose sail over the top together and Condrey heads outside to slam Roberts on the floor. The Midnights use frequent doubleteam moves, keeping Roberts looking for a tag for a solid seven minutes, until finally one last miscommunication spot give the Freebirds a chance to make the hot tag. Hayes comes in a house of fire with a plethora of closed fists, but is almost immediately cut off with a knee to the back by Condrey. As the Midnights send him into the ropes for a double flapjack, Roberts sneaks up behind Condrey and turns him around with a DDT causing Rose to lose concentration and also be spiked with a DDT by Hayes for the win and title shot at 14:33.) Terry Gordy heads out to celebrate with his partners as all three join Caudle & Crockett for a quick word. First, Hayes and Roberts give some praise to their opponents saying that while they have no doubt they'd also defeat The Russians, unfortunately, the title shot belongs to the Freebirds. Hayes says that for Halloween, the Freebirds will be wearing a "heart of gold" and then asks for highlights of his match with Harley Race to be shown. Over highlights of the very end (including Hayes getting fed up and punching referee Sandy Scott in the face), Hayes narrates and describes how close he came to becoming NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He challenges Race to be a real champion and face he and his brothers (and Ric Flair) and show whether he's a real champion or at least realize he's just an old-timer who's passed his prime. Gordy throws in a dig at Race too saying that today the MACW audience will see how a champion defends his title. The 'Birds end their interview time by saying whether it's Volkoff, Kruschev, Markoff, Koloff, Taylor, Guerrero, or The Vachons, two new belts will be joining the TV title at the end of the month. Before the Freebirds can leave, Ric Flair comes out and congratulates them on their tag and TV title success. He says that since they came to the Carolinas, he's had a ball teaming with them and even facing them on various shows and is thrilled they've been able to make a name for themselves in those divisions. He pats Hayes on the back and says he looked pretty great against the Champ and that maybe one day he'll have a big run, but for now it's time for "The Nature Boy" to kick things into gear. Hayes takes the compliment but says that while the 'Birds are rooting for him, they will be first in line once he's got the belt and that they can't promise to "play nice". An very quick icy stare finishes the segment as the 'Birds head to the back and Flair "Whoo's" and heads to the ring. MATCH #2 Ric Flair vs. Bob Bradley (Flair takes his time and enjoys the easier battle as a change of pace from his recent matches against Valentine, Funk, and Sheik. Bradley impresses with some nice athleticism, flipping out of a Flair backdrop to land on his feet, but a poke to the eye and chop after chop sends him to the corner where Flair goes to school with a hip toss followed by the Figure-Four Leglock for a submission win at 3:25.) After the break, Caudle & Crockett play some footage of the end of the Schultz-Sheik NWA US Title match from last Saturday, where things got out of control and both men were disqualified. NWA United States Champion "Dr. D" David Schultz joins them to reveal that he has agreed to one rematch with The Iron Sheik next week on TV, where he expects to end the Iranian's challenge for once and for all. Schultz stays at ringside to provide commentary for Sheik's match up next. MATCH #3 The Iron Sheik vs. Brad Rheingans (A surprisingly exciting match with the Greco-Roman wrestling stars showing up some little seen matwork in a MACW ring. Rheingans more than holds his own and matches Sheik takedown for takedown and throw for throw causing Schultz to roar with laughter on commentary and threaten to substitute Rheingans for Sheik in the title match next week. The tide turns when Sheik challenges Rheingans to a test of strength, only to kick him in the gut before the hands are locked. The control never changes from there as Sheik slaps on a Boston Crab, rocking back and forth only to let go once it's clear Rheingans won't submit. A belly-to-belly suplex leads to a gutbuster which in turn leads to the Camel Clutch and finally Rheingans gives up at 9:12. Sheik spits from the ring in Schultz's general direction but does not get into a physical confrontation.) Following the break, Mr. Wrestling II heads to the ring as Caudle & Crockett give some background on his legendary career, specifically his reputation in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. MATCH #4 Mr. Wrestling II vs. Tony Zane (Wrestling II is getting up there in years, but can still bring it in the ring, having no issue with Tony Zane, outwrestling him and finishing with a high knee in 2:03.) After the match, the cameras head straight to Buddy Rogers and his Rogers' Corner as he introduces the "undefeated" Scott Casey. In his usual uncouth manner, Casey talks himself and runs down the men he's defeated, including Joe Lightfoot, Billy Two Eagles, Chief Jay Strongbow, David Von Erich, The Tonga Kid, and surprisingly, Mr. Wrestling II! Casey claims that down in Louisiana he crashed another promotion's party and tore off Wrestling II's mask and revealed him for the yellow-bellied coward he really is. He says there's no difference between an "injun, islander, and masked freak" and that in the ring none can match up with a "real man". Stil at ringside, Wrestling II shoves his way past Buddy Rogers and confronts Casey who backs off claiming he's not dressed for a fight. Wrestling II grabs Rogers' mic and says that Casey is full of baloney and that not only did he survive Casey's bulldog and NOT get unmasked, but he PINNED Casey clean in the middle of the ring in front of 25,000 people! Casey starts yelling unmentionable words off-mic and throwing a tantrum, eventually getting in Wrestling II's face calling him a liar. Wrestling II doesn't back down and challenges Casey to a rematch next week on TV, giving him a chance to "save face and get his win back". Buddy Rogers finally chimes in, speaking directly to the live crowd, telling them not to believe "this masked man" and that all logical fans must know that Scott Casey has very obviously never lost in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Casey accepts Wrestling II's challenge and says he almost feels sorry for him. Normally he'd beat him 1-2-3 nice and quick, but because of this incredible insult, he'll take his sweet time and in the end get the win and take that mask. MATCH #5 Chief Jay Strongbow/Billy Two Eagles/Joe Lightfoot vs. Tiger Williams/Rick Patterson/Doug Vines (The Native Americans get a rare chance to showcase their skills with even Strongbow showing fresh life here. Caudle explains that Eagles and Lightfoot couldn't overcome The Vachons a second time last Saturday night (thus getting overlooked for a number one contender's shot today), but looked more impressive than ever even in losing. Lots of chop-based action, but also some nice moments like stereo bow-and-arrow holds by all three N.A.'s and great Samoan Drop by Eagles on Vines. The match came to a close with a double top-rope standing chop to the head by Lightfoot and Eagles on Patterson with Strongbow getting the pin in 3:48.) Back from break, Caudle and Crockett recap the major happenings so far and reveal weekend main events of David Schultz & Michael Hayes vs. Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik, Ric Flair vs. Butcher Vachon, and The Tonga Kid vs. Scott Casey in Asheville, North Carolina that night and David Schultz vs. The Iron Sheik, Ric Flair vs. Scott Casey, and Terry Gordy vs. Mad Dog Vachon tomorrow night in Roanoke, Virginia. Crockett excitedly reminds fans that next week will see an unprecedented television program, with David Schultz hopefully bringing his battles with The Iron Sheik to a climax in a huge US title match, Scott Casey facing his biggest challenge in Mr. Wrestling II, and the winner of today's main event taking on The Russians in a big NWA World Tag Team Title match. MATCH #6 NWA WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP Terry Gordy © vs. Ben Alexander (It's Gordy's turn in the spotlight as he provides the unlucky Alexander with a big ol' beating. Gordy is in a great mood after disposing of Ivan Koloff and hits Alexander with moves like a running powerslam, a big high angle back suplex, and finally a running legdrop, putting Alexander out of his misery in 2:12.) Before the main event, Hector Guerrero & Terry Taylor stop by the booth for some pre-match thoughts. Guerrero grabs the mic first and apologizes to the fans for losing his temper last Saturday night as footage of the end of the Tag Title match from Greensboro plays. He says that the Guerrero temper is well-known to wrestlers in Mexico, but this was the first time MACW gained access to his short fuse and that he owes Terry Taylor too much in friendship to throw everything away after one heartbreaking loss. He holds out his hand and asks for a renewed pledge to be the best tag team in the NWA. Taylor eagerly accepts his hand, but says that for all he's concerned, Guerrero didn't do anything wrong. It was a tough loss and that he'd be more upset if Guerrero didn't care afterwards. He says to put all that behind them and aim to defeat The Vachons, The Russians, and The Freebirds to officially earn them the title of best tag team in wrestling. The two popular youngsters share a quick hug and head to the ring for their number one contender's match. MATCH #6 Winner Faces Tag Team Champions Next Week On TV The Vachons (Mad Dog & Butcher) vs. Terry Taylor & Hector Guerrero (A true battle as both teams were out to prove they were worthy of a shot at the tag belts. Guerrero and Taylor hit stereo dropkicks knocking The Vachons out of the ring to start off, right away proving that they're as great as ever. Back in the ring, Butcher was caught between the two high flyers as Guerrero got on his hands and knees behind him and Taylor hit him with the flying forearm, knocking him for a loop and causing him to roll outside again. The Vachon Brothers regrouped and came back in with renewed vigor, using their superior size, strength, and experience to slow things down. Cutting Guerrero off from his partner, they took turns clubbing him across the back and tossing him around the ring for a couple of close near falls. Guerrero dodged a Butcher splash in the corner and seemingly had a chance to tag out to Taylor, but chose to attempt a rolling clutch cradle on the big man instead leading him to be knocked inside out as Mad Dog rushed in with a lariat. Still he perservered, kicking out of Mad Dog's headbutt in a surprising show of endurance. He again had a chance to tag out after ducking out of the way of another Mad Dog clothesline, leading to a Vachon Brothers collision, but instead attempted a springboard clothesline only to be caught for a Mad Dog powerslam which was broken up at 2 3/4 by Taylor. Finally Taylor took it upon himself to drag Guerrero to the corner and tag himself in, nailing both Vachons with dropkicks and clotheslines, even lifting Mad Dog up for a gutwrench powerbomb for a close 2 count. The end came when Taylor came off the ropes for a flying forearm on Butcher, only for Guerrero to blind tag himself in and hit Mad Dog with a slingshot crossbody. Both men covered their opponents and picked up the win in 11:53.) The two weary victors raise their hands and show no signs of disharmony as Hector motions for the belts and the show goes off the air with Crockett screaming about the HUGE show next week with Casey vs. Wrestling II, Schultz vs. Sheik, and The Russians vs. Taylor & Guerrero.

Disregard, forgot to change over to a new monthly thread.
