AWA at The Mecca, Milwaukee, Friday, August 19^th

 

Moose Cholak vs. Buck Zumhofe

 

Moose Cholak won after three straight Big Splashes

 

The Latin Lovers vs. The Minnesota Heartbreakers (Jeff Sword & Rocky Brewer)

 

The Latin Lovers won after Valentino hit the Love Missile on Brewer

 

Eric Embry vs. Samu

 

Embry won with the cradle suplex. After the match, he hit a piledriver on Samu, and the badly shaken up “Flying Samoan” had to be helped from the ring.

 

Jimmy Garvin vs. Iceman Parsons

 

This was again supposed to be for the AWA Light Heavyweight Title, but before the match, Jimmy Garvin got on the mic and said that Parsons weight had actually gone up and since he was even further away from the Title’s weight limit, this once again would be a non-title match. The incensed Parsons seemed even more determined to defeat Garvin, but Garvin always seemed to just barely wriggle out of danger when it seemed like the Iceman had him dead to rights. In the end, Garvin grabbed a fistful of tights in a rollup to almost get the three count … only for Parsons to counter with a rollup of his own to get the victory. The moment the ref’s hand hit the matt for the third time, Ed Wiskowski slid into the ring and he and Garvin to beat down on Parsons. Iceman’s good friend Samu was still hurt from his earlier match, so it looked like there would be no rescue for Parsons, but Ivan Putski, who is scheduled for matches with Wiskowski at some upcoming house shows, came to his aide and ran off the villains.

 

The Wild Bills & Lord Humongous vs. The Road Warriors & ?

 

The Wild Bills & Humongous came to the ring accompanied by their manager, Col. Buck Robley, and his second in command, Maj. Cal Manson. It turns out, the Road Warriors mystery partner was … nobody. Word drifted back that the rest of the locker room, offended by the Road Warriors earlier remarks disparaging the veteran wrestlers and claiming they didn’t need help from anyone, had refused to a man to give any help to the muscular tag team. Undaunted, the Road Warriors got on the mic and said that they would take on all three men by themselves if they had to. In what wound up being a handicap match, the Road Warriors put in a valiant effort, but the deck seemed to stacked against them , with Robley and Manson interfering any time the ref’s back was turned. It seemed like the Roadies might just pull off the victory when Animal caught Humongous in a huge powerslam, but Robley came in off the top rope with a kneedrop on Animal’s back to cause a DQ. After the match, Robley’s Army continued to kick the daylights out of Animal until Hawk came in wildly swinging a chair, clearing the ring and teeing off on any of the Army who tried to get back in. Figuring that they had done enough damage for now, the Army headed back to the locker room, laughing at the Road Warriors as they left.

 

8 Man Tag Match : Hulk Hogan, Mr. Olympia, Da Crusher & Ivan Putski vs. Ken Patera, One Man Gang, Boris Zukhov & Toru Tanaka with special guest referee Eddie Mekka

 

As predicted , Mekka had his hands full trying to keep order in this match, with it being a rarity for there to be only two men in the ring at any given time. Kaissie’s men were determined to keep Hogan in the ring for as long as possible and do as much damage as they could to set him up in a future title shot. Hogan, for his part, was equally determined to get back in the ring to make Patera and Gang pay some dues. After taking a hefty beating from the side of the villains, Hogan knocked Tanaka off his feet with a shoulder tackle and made the hot tag to Da Crusher. At this point the match broke down, with all 8 men fighting in the ring and at ringside. Tanaka seemed to get the better of Da Crusher and had him set up for a thrust kick to the jaw, only for Sheikh Kaissie to beat him to the punch by coming off the top rope with an elbow smash to Crusher’s head. Kaissie pointed at the downed Crusher and told Tanaka to make the pin, but instead Tanaka was livid that Kaissie had interfered and knocked him back with a knife edge chop. This proved to be a long enough distraction for Putski to come in and blindside Tanaka with the Polish Hammer, following up with a cover. Mekka, seeing Putski covering Tanaka and possibly wanting the match to finally be over and done with, rushed over and made the count. After the match, Kaissie started screaming at Tanaka for not taking the win and for attacking him, but Tanaka stood his ground and yelled back at him. Tanaka had finally had enough and gave Kaissie a thrust kick to the jaw. This let to immediate retaliation by Kaissie’s men, but Crusher, who had seen Tanaka make his stand, led the charge to rescue the Japanese veteran. When Kaissie and his men had cleared off, Crusher and Hogan held up the arms of Putski, Mekka and Tanaka, to the cheers of the crowd.

What exactly is the "Love Missile"?? I'm secretly hoping you eventually run some type of ICW like angle where Vinnie Valentino has to wear boots if he loses.

 

Iceman might need to bring his own scale to the ring next time.

 

Good stuff with The Road Warriors vs. Robley's army. They need to find an ally somehow before they lose to the numbers game.

 

Wonder why Tanaka was so mad about Sheik's interference?

 

AWA is starting to catch fire and I'm digging it more by the week.

[rainmakerrtv]

The Love Missile is the Latin Lovers' tag finisher, where Cruz elevates his opponent in a bearhug and Valentino comes off the top rope with a flying dropkick. I will get into the Tanaka angle more in future television, but in short, Tanaka had taken the fall in a number of previous matches due to Kaissie and his crew interfering and it going wrong. Now he had a chance to cleanly put away his rival Da Crusher, but the Sheikh just has to get involved. Basically, he got sick of the Sheikh sticking his nose into his business.

AWA World Title match : Hulk Hogan © vs. One Man Gang

 

After a lengthy brawl, Hogan won the match by countout

[Grimmas]

Gang-Hogan!!! I'd pay tickets for that big time.

[rainmakerrtv]

I had been thinking of keeping Hogan away from the smaller market shows but then I loved the thought of the finish of this show in a small venue that opens with all of the Army once again destroying Zumhofe and ending with this huge World Title streetfight. I like the idea that there is somebody with their own video camera in the crowd grabbing this for posterity.

[dawho5]

I think having Hogan in one on one matches to bump gates up in the bigger market house shows is a great idea. It's not like they are televised and as long as you do countouts or have Hogan go over like the last one it should work.

AWA All-Star Wrestling for the weekend of August 26^th

 

“Polish Power” Ivan Putski vs. “The Polish Prince” Ed Wiskowski

 

Wiskowski came out guns a-blazing and unleashed a furious offense on Putski. The beloved powerhouse from Krakow was taken aback by this aggression, but he fought back gamely, matching the Prince blow for blow. The match finally went out of control when Wiskowski pulled a set of brass knuckles out of his tights and slugged Putski with them right in front of the ref, who had no choice but to end the match and give it to Putski by DQ. The two huge Polish stars continued brawling long after the match officially ended until the AWA officials had to separate them.

 

Samu vs. Rocky Brewer

 

Samu gave one of his most impressive performances for the audience, dazzling with high speed offense and easily dominating Brewer before finishing him off with the Flying Samoan Splash.

 

Eric Embry vs. Jeff Sword

 

This was a grim and gritty brawl, with Eric Embry, who has had not much trouble with any of his opponents on TV so far, taken to the limit by the hairiest member of the Minnesota Heartbreakers. There were a number of moments where it looked like Sword just might pull of the victory, but when he ducked his head in an attempt at a back body drop, Embry took immediate advantage and grabbed him for an over the shoulder neckbreaker. One piledriver later and Embry got the three count. But that wasn’t enough for Embry, who had apparently taken offense at how much effort he had to put into beating Sword and picked him up for a second piledriver. His Heartbreakers partners, Tom Stanton and Rocky Brewer, came to try to rescue him, but ran straight into a boot to the testicles from Buck Robley and Cal Manson. Embry looked he might actually end Sword’s career with a third piledriver, but Samu charged in from the back, tore through Robley and Manson and knocked Embry from the ring with a thrust kick. As Embry and his Army comrades beat a retreat, Stanton, Brewer and a still groggy Sword each gave Samu a grudging handshake before the two sides parted ways.

 

(After the commercial break, the camera comes up on Mean Gene Okerlund in the middle of the ring)

 

Mean Gene : Folks, my guests tonight are none other than “Polish Power” himself, Ivan Putski, and “The Man Who Made Milwaukee Famous” , Da Crusher!

 

(The crowd cheers as Putski, still showing the marks from his earlier fight with Ed Wiskowski, and Crusher, lugging a large keg along with a stack of three plastic cups, walked to the ring. However they gave gasp of surprised when they saw they were accompanied by Prof. Toru Tanaka who was bringing with him a large bottle of sake and his ceremonial salt bucket. )

 

Mean Gene : Crusher, wow, even given the events of the show in Milwaukee, I must say I am surprised to see you here with Prof. Toru Tanaka.

 

Crusher : Mean Gene, if you had told me a month ago I would be side by side wit dis guy, I would have said you was nuts! But when I saw this guy take a stand and refuse to let somebody else give him a win he didn’t get himself, I knew dat dis was my kinda guy! Da Perfesser here has given me some lumps, and I’ve given ‘em back, but we understand each other, and I’d be proud to have a guy like this watch my back anyday.

 

Tanaka : That’s right, Crusher. He and I have fought, but we have fought like Samurai Warriors! We have fought with honor!

 

Mean Gene : But Professor, you kept trying to hit him with a handful of salt.

 

Tanaka : Honorable salt! But the Sheikh and Zukhov, they kept trying to steal the win. There is no honor in a chain. From now on, I fight my way! With my friends, Mr. Putski and Mr. Crusher.

 

(In the background, Crusher was getting three cups full of beer from the keg while Putski watched impassively.)

 

Mean Gene : Crusher, what on earth is going on back there?

 

Crusher : Just a little something da Perfesser and I came up wit. You pour the beer. Then you add in the sake and salt. (Tanaka pours sake into all three cups of beer and adds a sprinkle of salt) Then you knock it back. (Crusher and Tanaka both down the contents of a cup) Then you do a bit of dis! Hai! (Crusher then gives Tanaka a hard smack across the chest with a knife edge chop. Tanaka then gives one back to Crusher.) And dat’s what you call a Nagasaki Boilermaker! A drink for men!

 

Mean Gene : (under his breath) Sounds revolting.

 

Crusher : What was dat, Gene?

 

Mean Gene : Err, I said, it sounds delicious!

 

Crusher : Glad ta hear it, Gene! (grasping him firmly by the shoulder and thrusting the cup into his hands) Help yourself!

 

Mean Gene : Umm, thank you but no, I am on duty.

 

Crusher : (gripping him even tighter by the shoulder) Since when has dat ever stopped you? Down da hatch!

 

(Gene gives a pained expression but downs the contents of the cup. He then proceeds to cough, splutter and turn green.)

 

Crusher : Ha ha! From now on, Gene, you can call the three of us the Sake and Old Milwaukee Connection!

 

Gene : (trying to recover) Ivan Putski, not drinking tonight?

 

Putski : (quietly) Not tonight , Gene.

 

Gene : Well, uh, you had quite the fight earlier with Ed Wiskowski. What gives?

 

Putski : I don’t know what Wiskowski’s problem with me is. I came out for a wrestling match, and he decided to make it a brawl. Well, Wiskowski, I can brawl with the best of them. You call yourself the Prince? You think you are actually better than me? Well, Wiskowski, the next time we meet, you better watch your step, because I am fixing to drop the Hammer on you!

 

Jimmy Garvin vs. Javier Cruz

 

Once again, Garvin announced before the match that, since Cruz was slightly above the weight limit, this would be a non-title match. Cruz fought as hard as if the belt had been on the line, but the turning point came when his partner in the Latin Lovers, Vinnie Valentino, came to ringside and tried to chat up Garvin’s bikini clad valets. When Garvin turned and shouted at Valentino, Cruz caught him in a schoolboy cradle and got the flash pin. Garvin was livid and threw a tantrum as his valets tried to calm him down.

 

Moose Cholak vs. One Man Gang

 

Cholak put up a valiant effort, giving the Gang one of his toughest fights on TV since he arrived in the AWA. It came to a peak when he whipped Gang into the corner and charged in for a big Avalanche, only for Gang to duck out of the way to send Cholak crashing hard, chest first, into the turnbuckle. Gang then nailed Cholak with a lariat before pinning him with a running splash. After the end of the match, Col. Buck Robley came marching to the ring along with Maj. Cal Manson and the Wild Bills. Robley got the ringside mic and addressed Cholak.

 

Robley : Moose, you see what guys like us are up against. This new generation have no respect like old hands like us. They think they can just shove us aside. Punks like Samu, The Road Warriors … they think there is no place for us veterans in the AWA. Well, there is a place for you in the Army! Just take my hand, and you and I will show these young snots what we are made of.

 

Cholak seemed to consider it for a second, then looked at Robley’s hand like it was a decaying squirrel carcass.

 

Cholak : Robley, I wouldn’t sign up with you and your goons if you were the last slimeball on the face of the earth!

 

Robley was incensed and slapped Cholak hard across the face. Cholak grabbed Robley by the throat and started to throttle him, but Manson and the Bills swiftly attacked him and started to beat him down. Then who should come running to the ring, swinging chairs, but the Road Warriors? After they ran off the Army, they helped up Cholak and assisted him to the back of the arena and into the locker room.

 

Rick Martel & Da Crusher vs. Sheikh Adnan Kaissey & Boris Zukhov

 

Martel and Crusher consistently got the better of Kaissey and Zukhov, swiftly tagging in and out and befuddling them with Crusher’s fisticuffs and Martel’s technical expertise. Martel scored the victory with the flying cross body on Zukhov, but all four men will soon have to face each other for the AWA Canadian Title, and only one can come out the winner.

Four Corners Match for the first AWA Canadian title : Da Crusher vs. Sheikh Adnan Kaissie vs. Rick Martel vs. Boris Zukhov

 

Kaissie was the first eliminated after being hit by a Bolo Punch by Crusher. Zukhov was next , via a flying cross body by Martel. Crusher and Martel then engaged in an energetic, high impact bout that ended when Crusher went for a power slam on Martel, only for Martel to hook his leg and get the pinfall with a small package, making him the first ever AWA Canadian Champ. Crusher shook his hand afterwards and put the belt on Martel himself.

 

AWA World Title Match : Hulk Hogan © vs. Ken Patera

 

Hogan won by countout after hitting Patera with a lariat when Patera was on the ring apron.

[Grimmas]

AWESOME FINISH to Hogan-Patera, I love that.

 

By the way Martel is now the AWA Canadian and NWA Canadian Champ. When will he start to get consideration for Wrestler of the Year?

[LowBlowPodcast]

I think you guys are doing great building Hogan and the Road Warriors. It is interesting to see how this will play out over the end of the year going into 84, and the marquee feud would be between the two parties in some shape or form, or to have them join forces but it would take some kind of a special force to go against them. You've got some nice pieces in place and Patera v Hogan is a great way to keep things going. Great 2nd month!

[rainmakerrtv]

Interesting you should mention that, there is something coming on the horizon that will cause their mutual sphere to overlap, but that will come in time.

[rainmakerrtv]

AWA All Star Wrestling for the Weekend of Sept 2

 

Billy Jack vs. Buck Zumhofe

 

Zumhofe was actually able to hold his own for most of this … no, just kidding, Billy Jack pretty much destroyed him from bell to bell before polishing him off with a full nelson he held on until long after the ref had called the match.

 

Eric Embry vs. Iceman Parsons

 

A wild match that went back and forth and only ended when Embry hit the over the shoulder neckbreaker on the outside. He could have gotten back in the ring to beat the count out, but, determined to do lasting damage on Parsons, he pulled back the matt and set him up for a piledriver on the concrete. This prompted Samu to rush out and attack Embry in order to save his friend. The ref ended up declaring a double DQ.

 

Lord Humongous vs. Bill Rathke

 

The huge masked man made short work of Rathke, knocking him down with a big lariat before putting him in the modified Cobra Clutch to get the submission.

 

Mr. Olympia vs. Tom Stanton

 

Olympia really got the crowd going with his technical expertise as he easily dominated Stanton before sinking in the Sleeper for the win. After the match, Stanton’s partners in the Minnesota Heartbreakers, Jeff Sword and Rocky Brewer, entered the ring to try to attack Olympia but he sent them flying out of the ring with dropkicks.

 

Hulk Hogan, Da Crusher & Ivan Putski vs. One Man Gang, Ken Patera & Boris Zukhov

 

Hogan, Crusher and Putski were accompanied to the ring by Prof. Toru Tanaka, while their opponents were led by Sheikh Adnan Kaissie. As you can imagine, this was a crazy match, with the Sheikh’s men trying to isolate the World Champion and his two partners came in when they could to back him up. The match took a turn for the chaotic when Crusher manager to tag into the ring and who should come to ringside but Ed Wiskowski, who yanked Putski off the apron and slugged him with a set of brass knuckles. When Tanaka came over to try to help out, he got a face full of knuckles himself for his troubles. When Crusher was distracted by this, Patera and Zuckov took advantage and hit him with a chain assisted double clothesline and got a quick pin. The villains looked to capitalize and administer more punishment after the bell but Hogan ran them out of the ring. Crusher helped the still dazed Tanaka to the back but Putski refused all assistance and insisted on going to the back under his own strength.

 

After the commercial break, the camera comes up on Mean Gene Okerlund in the ring. Joining him are “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin, “The Polish Prince” Ed Wiskowski, and an array of scantily clad women. Garvin is holding up the AWA Light Heavyweight title belt and has a cocky look on his face, Wiskowski has his face in a ferocious scowl, and both are soaking up the boos of the crowd.

 

Mean Gene : Folks, my guests are Jimmy Garvin and Ed Wiskowski. Wiskowski, why on earth would you attack Ivan Putski out of nowhere like that? What has he ever done to you?

 

Wiskowski : (grabbing the mic from Mean Gene) Why? You want to know why? Putski, you are a disgrace! You are an embarrassment to the nation of Poland! You are supposed to be a representative of the pure Polish blood, the same blood we share … but instead, you associate with a drunken stumblebum and that Oriental traitor! Well, I am going to make you see the light and realize your potential if I have to knock your brains out to do it!

 

Mean Gene : (taking the mic back) Jimmy Garvin, you won the AWA Light Heavyweight title, but so far you have defended it against hardly anyone.

 

Garvin : Hey, it’s part of the rules of this title that my opponents have to be within certain weight guidelines. You can’t blame me if people can’t meet them. They are probably gorging themselves because they are afraid of facing me, the greatest champ …

 

Gavin gets cut off by the sound of the theme song to Laverne & Shirley , of all things. TV’s Eddie Mekka, carrying a large briefcase, makes his way to the ring, carrying a large briefcase.

 

Mekka : Evening, folks. I’m here with a special message from the AWA board of governors. In recognition of the sterling work you have done defending your title against, well, pretty much nobody, they are officially dissolving the AWA Light Heavyweight Title.

 

Garvin : What? You can’t …!

 

Mekka : Relax, relax, it’s a promotion! They aren’t going to take it away without giving something in return. So they are taking the belt … (plucking the title belt from his hands) and giving you this … (opens up the briefcase and takes out a flash new title belt) naming you the first ever AWA American Champ!

 

Garvin : Wow! Now this is a belt fit for a champion, namely me!

 

Mekka : That’s right! This belt has gold plating …

 

Garvin : Of course!

 

Mekka : … a jewel studded frontpiece …

 

Garvin : Naturally!

 

Mekka : … and an open weight class!

 

Garvin : Yes! Wait, what?

 

Mekka : That’s right, the American title has no weight limit, so you can look forward to showing off your abilities against all of the competition in the AWA! Enjoy! (leaves the ring)

 

Garvin: This is unfair! Totally unfair! It’s not my fault that Iceman Parsons can’t keep away from the buffet table! I’m going to call my lawyer and … oh, what now?

 

This time he is cut off by the sound of “Shake Your Booty” by KC and the Sunshine Band while Vinnie Valentino and several Bootie Babes come to the ring.

 

Valentino : Hey, cool out, Garvin, I come in peace. I get the impression that you and I have started out on the wrong foot , so I am hoping to start fresh tonight. There is more than enough room in the AWA and plenty of beautiful women for two handsome devils like yourself and myself. I know any of the luscious Bootie Babes would love to party with the “Gorgeous” one, and I’ll bet a few of your lovelies would like to spend time with the Vin Man. I’ve caught that sassy blonde number their giving me the eye. (The blonde woman in question immediately hides behind Jimmy Garvin.) Now now, no need to be shy. Howsabout you give Big Vinnie here a little kiss, huh?

 

The blonde woman is clearly taken aback and Garvin looks for a moment like he is about to explode, but he gathers his composure, pulls her close, strokes the back of her head, whispers something in her ear and nods. The woman nods back at him and walks over to Valentino. Valentino grins and then puckers up his lips for a kiss … only for the woman to pull out an aerosol can and spray something in his eyes! Garvin then grabs the blinded Valentino and hits him with a DDT. Clearly not satisfied with that, he goes out of the ring, grabs a folded chair and DDTs him on the chair as well. Javier Cruz rushes to the ring to try and save his partner but gets intercepted by Wiskowski. Garvin then lays out Valentino with his face down on top of the chair and starts to climb the turnbuckles, indicating that he was going to drop the knee on the back of the Latin Lover’s head. He was looking to pulverize Valentino’s face! Luckily for Vinnie, Ivan Putski and Da Crusher charged the ring, tore through Wiskowski and sent Garvin flying from the ring. Valentino had to be taken out with a stretcher, but it could have been a whole lot worse for him.

 

"Wild" Bill Irwin vs. Road Warrior Hawk

 

Irwin arrived with his partner, Billy Jack, as well as Col. Buck Robley and Maj. Cal Manson in tow. Hawk arrived backed up by his partner, Animal … and also big Moose Cholak! The Army were clearly not expecting the Warriors to have anyone to help them out. As the battle raged in the ring, the Army’s attempts to interfere were consistently stymied by Animal and Moose. In desperation, Irwin tried to hit Hawk with the cowbell, but Hawk ducked and came back with a big flying clothesline to get the pin. Post-match, the Army looked like they were going to rush the ring, but seeing The Road Warriors and Cholak standing back to back in the ring, ready for them, caused them to choose discretion and head instead for the back. Looks like the Road Warriors have learned some respect for at least some of their fellow wrestlers.

[Grimmas]

What a nifty angle with Garvin's title. I can't wait to see Iceman get his hands on Garvin finally!

[Beast]

Love the idea of making a new title into a negative for the heel. Good stuff.

[goc]

I liked the angle with Garvin & Vinnie Valentino and that you started up a feud between Putski & Ed Wiskowski over who is a better representative of the Polish.

[dawho5]

The above mentioned stuff plus a six man tag with Hogan make this a great show. Looks like Garvin will be forced to actually defend his title now.

[dawho5]

Agreed.

[rainmakerrtv]

AWA All Star Wrestling for September 9^th

 

Samu & Iceman Parsons vs. Eric Embry & Maj. Cal Manson

 

A fast paced match but the main action was between Embry and Samu, whose tempers exploded whenever they were in the ring at the same time. Ultimately, it was Parsons who got the pin over Manson with the Rumper Stumper, but Samu and Embry continued to slug it out long after the end of the match.

 

Interview with the Road Warriors & Moose Cholak

 

Mean Gene greeted the Warriors and commented on their change of attitude regarding the veteran wrestlers of the AWA, at least as regards Moose Cholak. Hawk admitted that they had let their mouth run ahead of them and they were still confident in themselves, but after all they had been through with Buck Robley’s Army, it was certainly good to have friends. Animal added that they couldn’t have asked for a better friend to watch their back than the big Moose. Mean Gene asked Moose why he was willing to team with the Warriors, given their past comments and the attitude of the rest of the AWA locker room to them. Moose replied that he wasn’t around when they made those comments and didn’t care, as far as he was concerned, they helped him when he needed it and that was something he would never forget. He had their backs and they had his, and they wouldn’t stop until they had taken down the Wild Bills and the entire Army

 

Ed Wiskowski vs. Da Crusher

 

A straightforward slugfest that ended when Wiskowski pulled out a set of brass knucks and hit Crusher with them, leading to a DQ. Ivan Putski rushed to the ring and got in Wiskowski’s face, but the Polish Prince just turned his back and stalked back to the locker room.

 

Mr. Olympia vs. Jeff Sword

 

Sword gave Olympia quite the fight, but ultimately got blindsided with one of Olympia’s high impact dropkicks and was pinned. Once again, Sword’s partners, Tom Stanton and Rocky Brewer, charged the ring and attacked Olympia, but he was able to fight them off. Mr. Olympia just can’t seem to get the Minnesota Heartbreakers out of his hair, errr, mask.

 

Interview with Jimmy Garvin from the AWA studios. Garvin is accompanied by the same blonde woman he was with at the last TV show

 

Gene : Jimmy Garvin, last week on All Star Wrestling, you put an hellacious beating on Vinnie Valentino, you looked like you were going to break every bone in his face. That was uncalled for!

 

Garvin : Uncalled for ? UNCALLED FOR? Valentino just couldn’t stop sticking his nose in my business, couldn’t keep to his own side. Yeah, I like women and women like me. I make no bones about it. But this one … (wrapping a protective arm around the blonde woman) this one is Precious to me. You tried to put your hands on her. Well, you sure ain’t going to be trying that again, pally. And if you do … well, what you got last week is nothing compared to what I am going to do to you.

 

Gene : At the next big show in Milwaukee, you have a 6 man tag match with Da Crusher, Ivan Putski and Prof. Toru Tanaka. You and Ed Wiskowski have not, as yet, announced who your partner will be.

 

Garvin : Oh, believe me, Mean Gene, we have that well taken care of. In fact, I made a call to an old friend and this is what she had to say.

Sunshine : Heeeyyyy, Jimmy. Nice to see you have found someone to keep you warm on those cold Minnesota nights. Got your message and I know just the guy to help you out. One half of the Texas Dynasty, my main man, Tully Blanchard.

 

Blanchard : Jimmy, Sunshine explained everything to me and I’ve got you covered. It will be my pleasure to come up and help you whip those old fossils and teach them not to stick their nose in other people’s business. You , me and the Prince will show those Minnesota hicks what real class looks like.

 

Animal vs. Billy Jack

 

Once again, both men had their partners and allies surrounding the ring which led to a pretty chaotic match. Animal looked like he was set to finish Billy Jack off with a running power slam, but Bill Irwin reached in and snagged his leg, causing Billy Jack to fall on top of Animal and get the dirty pinfall. Needless to say, both sides charged the ring and the Warriors and Moose slugged it out with the Army until the officials cleared the ring.

 

Hulk Hogan vs. Ken Patera (non-title match)

 

Their usual intense match came to the inevitable conclusion of One Man Gang entering the ring and attacking Hogan with the chain. They tried to double clothesline Hogan with the chain, only for him to drop all of his weight down on the chain , causing them to crash into each other. After the DQ was called, it was announced that, at the upcoming show in Milwaukee, not only would the title match be no Countout, no DQ, with Mr. Olympia, Ken Patera, Sheikh Kaissie and Boris Zukhov all banned from ringside, but it would be a chain match to a single pinfall.

Milwaukee show is shaping up to be pretty good! Hogan vs. Patera in the main, Roadies & Bills, Tully showing up for a six man! I do wonder what kind of "Polish" stipulation is going to decide Wiskowski vs. Putski.

You know how I feel about the AWA and the spectacular roster you've put together. With Hogan on top, it will be easy for things to fall right back in line where they belong for the AWA to be a powerhouse. I like seeing the Road Warriors on the top of the card as they could definitely fill that spot with some of the right players. Keep doin work.
