    Dave didn't 'give' Mr Fuji anything. The awards in the Observer are voted on by the readers of the newsletter, nothing to do with Dave. It was a reader vote but to suggest Dave didn't have any influence on the process is disingenuous. If he's constantly telling the readership that someone sucks, there is a trickle down effect. Only if you don't have a mind of your own.

    Steamboat with a loosely applied sleeper on Atlas and ‘The Man’ starts faltering. He drops to the canvas and when the referee checks on him, grabs him by the shirt and pulls him into them in order to break the hold. The referee is down and Atlas’ manager ‘The Duke’ steps in the ring and puts something on his hand. Atlas holds Steamboat, ‘The Duke’ swings, Steamboat moves and he nails Atlas instead. ‘The Duke’ starts flapping about, Steamboat heads up to the top turnbuckle, comes off with a bodypress and the referee comes around in order to count the three and we have a new ICW champion. Atlas ends up attacking ‘The Duke’ after the match holding him responsible for the loss. Atlas is already in the WWF by now so I wonder how long this match had been in the can? What we saw only went five minutes but it felt twice as long and wasn’t very good at all. ‘The Duke’ is garbage and seemed lost at what to do after he accidentally hit his protégé. Why haven’t we seen ‘The Duke’ by Tony’s side when Atlas was cutting those promos? He was out there for the Onita match earlier in the Yearbook but that’s the only other time we’ve seen him. Incidentally the official isn’t Mike Chioda, but future WCW and short lived WWF referee Billy Silverman. Adios ‘The Man’, your interviews have been a revelation and your Teen Report with Dawna will live long in the memory!

    I'm guessing it didn't make the Yearbook, but the opening segment of the TV show was Dutch Mantel drawing the name of the 'Beat the Champ' challenger out of a hat, like he did every week. Dutch pulls Brian Lee's name out and is then immediately confronted by Lee and Tammy Fytch saying what is he doing pulling Brian's name out of there? They say how he is the Heavyweight champion, doesn't need the match and doesn't need the money. Lee tells Dutch to cancel that, while Bob Caudle says that his name was drawn and those are the rules. 'Primetime' is still adamant that he's not going to face the Dirty White Boy, but there are no more segments involving them between the match, and I guess we just have to assume that 'the Board of Directors' told him that he had to wrestle that match as his name was drawn from the hat. You could of course argue what was his name doing in there in the first place, but that was the reason behind him being involved in the TV title match.

    ‘The Brain’ is still handcuffed to the guard rail although he has Rick Rude with him now. Vince McMahon has gone down to ringside but Rude is livid. He thinks that McMahon had something to do with this and he let it happen, while Heenan says how he stood by and never helped him. Rude is in McMahon’s face telling him to get the key and calling this ‘bullshit’. Vince thinks it’s karma after all the remarks he has made about the Bossman’s mother, but Rude tells him to shut up, he made the remarks and again calls it ‘bullshit’. Rude wants the Bossman out here now so he can deal with him, but McMahon has to close the show with Heenan still handcuffed to the rail. Rude is one intimidating and scary dude when angry.

    Mike McGuirk introduces the Big Bossman for his match, but as he makes his way down the aisle he looks over to the announcing desk and spots Bobby Heenan. Vince McMahon points out that he’s looking over their way, but ‘The Brain’ claims that he’s looking at McMahon, not him. He heads over and tells Heenan that he’s warned him over and over about talking about his mother. Heenan starts to apologise profusely, backtrack and claim it was just a joke. The Bossman tells him that sorry isn’t going to cut it, grabs him by the wrist and handcuffs him. He tells McMahon to stay out of his face and yanks ‘The Brain’ off the announcing stage (with him taking a nice spill to the floor in the process). He drags him to ringside, threatening him with his nightstick as he goes, and handcuffs him to the guard rail. The Bossman squashes Perez, but before he is able to get at Heenan a bunch of referees and officials (including Rene Goulet, Tony Garea, Jay Strongbow and Pat Patterson) are out to stand between them while ‘The Brain’ cowers under his jacket. He throws the key into the audience and tells Heenan he isn’t finished with him yet, as the officials usher him back to the dressing room. Power & Glory are in the next match and Heenan tries to get them and Slick to help him with Roma suggesting about Hercules breaking the chain to the cuffs. The bell has rung for the start of the match by now and they only just beat the count, but this means that ‘The Brain’ remains cuffed and helpless at ringside. Check out Vince McMahon’s suit and trainer combination here! Masterful stuff from ‘The Brain’ backtracking and apologising like only he can, and even taking a bump off the announcing stage area when the Bossman yanks him off there. Him cowering under his jacket while handcuffed to the guardrails made me laugh far more than it had any right to do.

    Kevin Nash says that everybody knows who they are, Iron and Steel, the Master Blasters. They’re not here to make any friends, only to hurt people. They haven’t been beaten yet and they never will! Only a quick promo but this was dreadful. Nash did all the talking while Iron appeared to be talking to himself and trying to look crazy.

    Eddie Gilbert and Sam Lowe are out and Eddie’s a bit perturbed! He’s got Jerry Lawler up for grand larceny, and by the time he finished with Airport Toyota he’ll own it! Gilbert is convinced that Dave Brown said the winner of the Battle Royale got a brand new Toyota, but Dave tells him he said ‘a chance to win a brand new Toyota…check the tape!’ He didn’t get the Toyota though, he got some clunker that wasn’t even worth driving. He went back to the dressing room, had a think about things and thought he’d give the car away, only to find out that Jerry Lawler has stolen it and taken it to his good friends at Airport Toyota and he’s going to let people spray paint his car! He’s sure that the ‘Hot Stuff’ Eddie Gilbert fan club here in Memphis will go out and write great things about him on it, and he’s looking forward to seeing it when it’s over and they bring his car back to him. He then tells Lawler that after the ‘Coal Miner’s Glove match’ this Thursday night at the Catholic School Gym, he won’t have to worry about the Unified World Title tournament. Airport Toyota must’ve paid the USWA a fair sum for the amount of plugging they’ve been getting in these past few segments. I really liked Gilbert’s change of tack here when he found out that his car had been taken. A different, almost light hearted, change of pace from ‘Hot Stuff’ (the Eddie Gilbert fan club for starters!) but I enjoyed this nonetheless.

    Dave Brown explains that is was mystery night at Mid-South Coliseum last Monday night, where there was a seventeen man blindfold Battle Royale, and the winner of the match got to ‘unmask’ one of two cars. One was a brand new Toyota MR2, the other was not, and whichever the winner ‘unmasked’ he got to keep. End of the blindfold Battle Royale airs and it is down to Jerry Lawler and Eddie Gilbert. Lawler accidentally grabs referee Frank Morrell and Gilbert pulls up the mask to see what the situation is. He sees it’s just ‘The King’ and himself left and reaches into his tights and pulls out a chain. He wraps it around his fist, sneaks around the ring, slugs Lawler and makes the pin to win the Battle Royale. Gilbert then starts celebrating like he’s won the World title! The two cars are hidden behind different doors at the Coliseum, Gilbert makes his choice and ‘Hot Stuff’ ends up with the old junk car. He’s not happy at all, picks up a chair and throws it at the car and then starts jumping up and down on it! Back in the studio and Dave is joined by Jerry Lawler, and ‘The King’ can’t understand why Eddie Gilbert was so upset with that car as it was better than the one he arrived at the Coliseum in! He runs down some upcoming appearances and mentions that Eddie Gilbert left his car at the Coliseum on Monday night. The people from Airport Toyota picked that car up, and today from between 13:00 and 15:00 he’s going to be at Airport Toyota giving away tickets and signing autographs, and wants the people to come down and write on Eddie’s car what they exactly think of him. There are a couple of other things he wants to talk about and the first of these is the big tournament on October 8th. They are still adding names, but some of the guys in the tournament include Austin Idol, Jimmy Valiant, Terry Funk, Mark Callous, Dick Slater and Steve Keirn, and whomever comes out of this on top will have deserved that Unified title. He’s loathed to mention his name, but the only unfortunate thing is The Snowman. A man who threw away a heck of an opportunity, a man who had nothing going for himself and whom the promotion gave a chance to wrestle, and a man who with the help of Leon Spinks gained the Unified title. He’s been stripped of the belt but goes around making commercials claiming to be the ‘World champion’, even though he’s not recognized by anyone or any magazines. Lawler personally invites him to be a part of the tournament, but imagines it will just be like everything else and he won’t show up. He rounds things off by promoting a Coal Miner’s Glove match against Eddie Gilbert for Thursday night at the Catholic School Gym.

    The original plan when I started on the Yearbook was to watch all interviews, promos, videos first, and then binge on the matches afterwards. That changed as I started to watch a few matches (mainly Texas and Memphis stuff) when I had been enjoying the build up (such as Tatum/Dundee, Kerry/Borne, Lawler/Snowman, Austin/Adams). I have already seen the majority of the WWF and NWA stuff on the set, and didn't fancy revisiting when there was all this Memphis that was new to me and that I was looking forward to checking out. Once I've finished December I'm going to go back and watch the matches and any interviews I missed. I'm almost certainly going to skip All Japan and probably Lucha, while I'm undecided on New Japan at the moment.
  11. GSR
    As I was making my notes on the interview I originally put how someone like Cornette could have got a few months out of what Memphis did it one episode. I then had a try at writing something myself and it was heavily Cornette inspired, and a fair bit of the early weeks taken from the aftermath of the attack on Bob Armstrong as Rage in the Cage. I’ll try and address each of your points individually garretta. In regards to Eddie Gilbert getting arrested for real, I went with the assumption that it wouldn’t get that far. This would happen off air, but Lawler would tell the police that he’s fine, it was an accident, it was wrestling, he doesn’t want to press charges, even if he has to say let me get my revenge in the ring. Depending how much the police ‘know’ about wrestling would determine how he plays it (either legit or kayfabing them), but end result is that Lawler stops Gilbert from going to jail by speaking with the police. When I was planning my alternate version I did think about Gilbert, but only wrote what would happen with Lawler. My initial idea was that he would still get fired (either week 2 or week 4) but then stay at home until ‘the Board of Directors’ revoke the decision and he’s back in the studio. So keeping him off TV and having Lawler sell the idea of the match through his promos. Presuming that the USWA are not going to pay him to stay at home and he still needs to make a living, I amended what I had originally planned for Gilbert and knocked up the following: Week 1 – Eddie Gilbert runs down Jerry Lawler Week 2 – Dave Brown announces that Eddie Gilbert got arrested after what happened on the show last week. You would then have dashboard camera footage of an officer handcuffing and arresting Gilbert. The footage ends and Eddie Gilbert is out to join Dave Brown, and he explains that a hot shot lawyer type got him out. He could then cut the same promo he did about how it was just an accident, he didn’t mean to hit him etc. Eddie Marlin then joins them and says something like if the police aren’t going to do anything, he will. What he did last week wasn’t wrestling, he doesn’t want that on his show and he fires Gilbert. Week 3 – Sam Lowe introduces his new find, ‘Mr Hot Stuff’. A masked man, who is quite clearly Eddie Gilbert. Marlin is obviously not happy, but Lowe keeps to his guns, that it’s not Eddie and ‘Mr Hot Stuff is allowed to wrestle. Marlin explains that the moment his identity is revealed, and it is confirmed that it is Eddie Gilbert, he’s out of here. Week 4 – Mr Hot Stuff’s identity is revealed and Eddie Marlin tells him that he’s fired and out of here. This can be something as simple as him just accidentally losing his mask in a match while his opponent has him in a side headlock. Week 5 – Eddie Gilbert ignores Eddie Marlin’s firing and is out at the start of the show to join Dave Brown. He says how since he was fired the ratings have gone down, the crowds are down at the Coliseum and the USWA needs him. Marlin is out to respond to this, says that he was fired for good reason and the USWA doesn’t need him at all. Security ends up escorting him out of the building and later in the show Jerry Lawler would cut the promo I outlined on Week 5 for him. Week 6 – Eddie Gilbert is out again at the start of the programme. He’s in a world of his own here almost delusional, saying how he saw Jerry Lawler out here last week, he’s clearly forgiven him and wants him back in the USWA. Marlin says that wasn’t what he said at all, Jerry Lawler hasn’t forgiven him and while he may want him back, he and the Board of Directors are the ones who make the decisions around here not Jerry Lawler, and he again gets escorted out of the building. Later in the show Lawler would cut the same promo I outlined in Week 6. Week 7 – No Eddie Gilbert on the show this week at all. Week 8 – Eddie Gilbert back in the studio bragging and boasting as I originally wrote. Lawler on a leg machine was just a way to show he is rehabilitating. You don’t have to have him on the leg machine, you could easily have him jogging. A couple of ideas would be Lawler entering his house just after being for a run then cutting a promo, or ‘The King’ in his gym gear stretching prior to going for a run, then cutting the promo, before jogging out of his door. Last point in regards to the length of the original storyline that I laid out. The eight week storyline could be condensed down to six weeks or even four, all depending on how you wanted to play it out. For the six week storyline I would combine what happened in weeks 3 and 4, and also forget week 7 where Eddie Marlin announces he’s been to see the Board of Directors. He would just make the decision himself and Lawler’s promo about needing closure would be the catalyst he needs to change his mind, and Gilbert is back in the studio the following week. The four week programme would combine what originally happened in weeks 2, 3 and 4 (and probably just have an interview from Lawler at home), would then combine what happened in weeks 5, 6 and 7 (for week 3 of this version) and then Gilbert is back on Week 4. Going down that route you would only need to keep Gilbert off TV for one week, or alternatively you could figure a storyline that he gets fired in Week 3 as opposed to Week 2. I think that’s everything!

    Ted Dibiase, Virgil and Sapphire are in the launderette. It looks like they’ve been washing his money as some dollars are hanging up to dry whilst Sapphire is ironing some more. Dibiase says imagine the humiliation that Dusty Rhodes must’ve endured when he bought and paid for his former manager Sapphire? She’s not his anymore though, and is now ironing the very money he used to humiliate him. She has her price just like the American Dream has his, they just haven’t ironed out what it is yet! This was weird. Why is Sapphire washing and ironing her money? Was this done just for the ‘ironed out’ line? I didn’t realise she was still with the Million Dollar Man post Summerslam, and to be fair, I don’t get why he would keep her around? Buying her off to screw with the Dream? Absolutely. Having her part of his entourage? Nah, she doesn’t fit at all.

    Rick Martel is back spraying Arrogance around the Brother Love set. Love would personally like to personally thank the man who bestowed upon him the greatest honour that could be bestowed upon any American, the Sgt. Slaughter Great American Award, Sgt. Slaughter. McMahon says how he is anything but a great American! He has the opportunity to be a role model for all the boys in the Middle East, instead of that he’s a complete mercenary who cares just about himself and not a jot about his country. The Sarge and Love salute one another and have a warm embrace. Slaughter says that Brother Love looks fantastic with his ‘Sgt. Slaughter Great American Award’, and wants him to keep up the good work! For weeks he’s been telling all these maggots that they need a leader, someone to tell them what to do, well he’s that man who can tell them what to do. Just as they need a leader, even Sgt. Slaughter needs a leader, someone to take orders from. There’s always a chain of command. He then introduces a man he respects and the only man he takes orders from, to which Roddy Piper says ‘President Bush is here!’, but it’s not President Bush, it’s a man from a country of great military power, Iraq, General Adnan. Piper is livid on Adnan’s arrival calling it ridiculous, pure garbage and that he doesn’t agree with this at all, while even Brother Love seems shocked with the General’s resemblance to Saddam Hussein. Adnan says something in Iraqi and Love asks the Sarge what he said, and he says that together they are going to kick some butt, and that’s an order! Piper again says that it’s garbage and to come give him some orders! I thought Brother Love was real good here with that look on his face when he saw Gen. Adnan. It was indicating that Slaughter had gone a step too far, even for someone like him. As a kid I was never a fan of the Adnan character and wondered what he actually bought to the party. Re-watching, bar the similarities to Saddam Hussein, I think the exact same. Slaughter didn’t really need the manager and could talk perfectly fine on his own. Adnan spoke in Iraqi so he wasn’t cutting the promos for him, it was as if the Iraqi verbage was just a way to try and add to the heat. Someone in an earlier thread suggested Skandor Akhbar as a possible manager for Slaughter, and whilst not his biggest fan, think he would’ve been better than Adnan. Liked the Sarge and Piper was tremendous on commentary, displaying his disgust with what he was witnessing here.

    Jim Cornette says that Stan Hansen is the number five contender for the World Heavyweight title but he wants to be number one, and that’s why he wants Lex Luger who occupies that current position. Hansen attacked Lex at Clash of the Champions and that is replayed followed by a Luger promo taped after the match. Lex says Hansen had made some overtures before that he wants a piece of him, and he made his point real clear a few moments ago. He tells him that there is no fear in his eyes, just fire, and if he wants a piece of his U.S. title, if he wants a piece of him, come get it! Back on the Slugger, and Cornette announces that the match has been signed for Halloween Havoc and Stan Hansen will have a U.S. title match against Lex Luger. Hansen with tobacco dripping down his face then joins Cornette. He says that he’s always been number one, he hasn’t been trying to get number one, he is number one! Lex Luger is a prima donna, a preppy puke and he, along with everything he stands for like rich clothes and nice cars, makes him sick! He’s going to get him at Halloween Havoc and then he’s going to go after Sting and get what is rightfully his. Cornette then says that he needs more money for this and he wouldn’t be Sting or Lex Luger for nothing!

    Gene Okerlund is joined by Dusty Rhodes, and no more yellow polka dots for the Dream. Its red polka dotted poncho and a top hat, to which Bobby Heenan quips ‘nice garb!’ Gene says at Summerslam, what the Million Dollar Man has been saying all along was true, and that is that everybody has a price. Dusty says on that hot August night at Summerslam he felt humiliation, rejection and betrayal when he saw Sapphire standing with the Million Dollar Man, and saw what dirty money can buy. Confusion reigned in his mind, but now he’s steady and knows what has to be done. The American Dream cannot, will not and never will be bought, to which Heenan chimes in ‘who’s want him?’ He’s paid the price for Dusty Rhodes, and that price is going to be pure hell! I shouldn’t care one iota about Ted Dibiase buying Sapphire, but just like the interviews in his feud with Randy Savage, the Dream hooks you in again. Good stuff from him here and an outfit change for the better!

    First up is the original Black Scorpion which Sting wanted to see and hasn’t been shown on the Yearbook yet. The Scorpion wonders is Sting is listening? Of course he is as he’s too much of a hero and a champion to refuse to hear this tape! A long time has passed since he last saw him, but even if he saw his face in the light now he wouldn’t recognise him. Who would hate him enough to want to see him a broken, defeated man? He says California, 1986, and tells Sting to think about who he is. He’ll have a chance to find out on September 5th at the Clash of the Champions. Back to Jim Ross and Sting, and Ross wonders if anything has struck a chord with Sting? He says that nothing has. He’s looked at the tape so many times and still can’t figure it out. It comes so close and then it disappears again. He thinks he’s trying too hard and is just under too much pressure from people asking who it is. It’s so close though!
  17. GSR
    Jim Ross is joined by Sting and he tells him that they’re going to see a new statement from the Black Scorpion. Sting wants to see that but he also wants to see the original tape because there is something about the Scorpion’s voice that is starting to resonate, and if he can see it again he thinks he can figure things out. The ‘new’ statement from the Black Scorpion is the same one that aired on 9/8 episode of World Championship Wrestling in the ‘Wrestling Wrap Up’ segment.

    Bob Caudle on the Wrap Up this week, and he says how an altercation took place recently as Gary Michael Cappetta was interviewing Ric Flair. We get video of that interview, and Cappetta asks the ‘Nature Boy’ what his plans are for the future? He says how his agenda is full at the moment, when he is interrupted by Teddy Long (with Doom), who says that it is their locker room and why doesn’t he do the interview somewhere else? Flair tells him to get out of his face, but Butch Reed says that they’re not worried about the Four Horsemen as there is three of them and only one of him. Arn Anderson shows up and they all get into a heated argument as Cappetta says to go back to the broadcast. Taped Teddy Long promo follows and he’s got a message for Ric Flair and Arn Anderson. Nobody is going to take the World tag titles from his ‘soul brothers’, and that especially means them. Ric Flair is a desperate man in need of a championship belt, while Arn Anderson is just a follower and not a leader. Arn and Flair respond, and Arn says that the only reason they are the tag team champions is because Ric Flair never thought about it, well he’s lived it, he’s thought about it, and he’s put the word in his head. They can be whatever they want because they’re the Four Horsemen. Flair says that tag team wrestling has never been his forte in the sport, but being the best has always been his forte. If you step on his toes he goes to ‘the Enforce’, and tells Doom to take their best shot! Caudle closes by saying a match has definitely been signed for the World tag team title between the two teams. I liked all of this. Again have to disagree with the comments about this being a demotion for Flair. Sid Vicious is challenging Sting for the World title, Stan Hansen is challenging for the United States title, what else could he do? Challenging for the tag team titles is perfect. Keeps him towards the top of the card, keeps him in ‘a’ title picture and we see him in an environment (tag team wrestling) we’ve not really seen him in for some time.

    Howard Finkel makes the introductions and Vince McMahon says to take a look at this ‘Saba Simba making his initial appearance right here on the show’. Roddy Piper is having none of that and says it’s not Saba Simba, it’s Tony Atlas walking around looking like a bird with all of those feathers. McMahon claims that he’s proud of his heritage, and although they haven’t seen him for four years he’s legally changed his name to Saba Simba. Piper responds ‘that’s ridiculous’, he says that Tony Atlas is a great competitor and why would Saba Simba walk around like that? He looks like a fool! Pretty quick squash with Simba winning after a Samoan Drop and he does a little tribal dance afterwards in celebration. Wow! I knew about Piper referring to him as Tony Atlas, but had no idea he rubbishes and kills the gimmick out right before the match even starts! I presume he hadn’t run this by McMahon by the way Vince was trying to cover for everything that Piper was saying. Had no-one seen him in the ICW? Clearly not, as no idea how someone could think this was a better gimmick that ‘the man’ he was doing there. They do try to put over Atlas’ strength here, but there was nothing in this squash that would make you think he’ll be doing much in the WWF.
  20. GSR
    ‘Brother Model’ is spraying Arrogance around the set and he says that Arrogance is not a right, it’s a privilege, and Brother Love deserves the best! Love’s guests this week are two men who are solely responsible for the loss of the tag team championship by Demolition, the Legion of Doom. Love asks ‘Brother Legion’ do they deny the fact that they cost Demolition the tag team titles? Hawk says that someone has sprayed something out here that smells like something he did! He tells Love that they are not his stinking ‘brothers’, and that they did exactly what they wanted, and intended, to do (clips of the Summerslam match airs as Hawk is saying this). Love calls them Demolition impostors and says how he wouldn’t want to be in their shoes now. Animal gets in his face and says how he doesn’t tell him or his brother anything. The Legion of Doom walks in the shadows of no-one and they want Demolition. Hawk hopes that they got under their skin and that they’re now full of hatred and anger, because they are, and they can’t wait to get in the ring with them.
  21. GSR
    Jim Cornette says how everyone has now seen what Sid Vicious did to Sting at the Clash of the Champions. The match had to be made, it was inevitable, but he took matters into his own hands and now its Sting vs Sid Vicious at Halloween Havoc for the World Heavyweight title. Sid says if Sting thinks what he did to him at the Clash was something, wait for Halloween Havoc, because he is going to walk out of there with the World title around his waist and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Cornette has no doubt he is stood beside the next World Heavyweight champion and Sting better be ready as Sid is coming to take that title. It feels like the Louisville Slugger is on its last legs here as anyone, be it Jim Ross, Gordon Solie or whomever could have done this short interview. Long gone are the days when the Slugger was a sign you were going to witness an important angle or something.
  22. GSR
    The USWA is not the only promotion to be doing a turtle gimmick it would seem, although EMLL has four of them and not just the one! A bunch of high flying clips, and then footage of this old chap wrestling in a match held outdoors. It appears he might be a trainer as we see him looking on watching some guys working out in a dingy gym as they are practising their wrestling, before seeing him in his trophy room.
  23. GSR
    Jeff Jarrett joins Craig Johnson and he’s got a plaster on his cheek from the fireball that Akhbar threw at him. He tells the General that he’s probably watched that video of him burning his face over and over, but this Friday he’s going to get a taste of his own medicine. Devastation Inc. head out and Jarrett says how it’s always the same old story, it’s got to be three-on-one. He takes his jacket and shirt off and Devastation start stalking him around the ring. Jarrett gets in the ring, they have him cornered and start attacking him. Kamala makes the save, but he’s not exactly rushing as he makes his way down the aisle. The two of them clear the ring of Devastation Inc. and Cactus tries to get back in there but is held back by Gary Young. Jarrett then tells Devastation to bring is on Friday night, Jerry Lawler has taught him how to throw that fire and he guarantees that it’s going to be hot!
  24. GSR
    Craig Johnson says that Devastation’s most devastating tag team are re-united. Gary Young says that they’ve done it again, this time with the most productive partner he’s ever had, and anyone who was here last night saw Jeff Jarrett and Kamala get beat from one end of the Sportatorum to the other. It’s not over yet though and they don’t plan on waiting until Friday night, if Jeff Jarrett comes out here today they’re going to put him out of wrestling! Cactus doesn’t know what Gary is so angry about, because personally he’d like to say that it’s great to be back in the great state of Texas! He’d like to say that it’s great to see all these good people again! Yeah, he’d like to say all that stuff, but he can’t because he hates this place! He warns Jeff Jarrett and Kamala that Devastation has got a brand new hair style and Cactus Jack now has a whole new set of teeth! Skandor AKhbar says he always told everyone that he was one step ahead of all those Americans, just like the fabulous Saddam Hussein is ahead of all these people! Even with the acquisition of Kamala Jeff Jarrett couldn’t get the job done, but he understands that he’s long gone now anyway. Young then tells Jarrett to come down here today and he guarantees he’ll see him right in front of his face and he will put him out of wrestling, the way he should’ve been put out a couple of weeks ago. I thought we were getting the first Cactus ‘cheap pop’ here! He sounds so much more comfortable in front of the mic here than he did in the NWA at the start of the year. Young is an underrated promo and I like the chemistry that he and Cactus have. Even Akhbar was palatable here, though that might more be down to his involvement being kept to a minimum and Gary Young doing most of the speaking.

    The Master Blasters turn over a car and are still walking around the junkyard, but we get to see their faces this week. I forgot that Al Greene wasn’t originally in the team, but have no idea of the name of the chap that he replaced. Can certainly see Road Warrior comparisons when it comes to the shorter of the two of them, but not really when it comes to Nash.
