He brings out Jerry Jarrett. Jarrett says that the CWA will be expanding further into Alabama and Mississippi and will be running 'Southeastern Championship Wrestling' shows each Wednesday in Birmingham, Alabama beginning Wed. August 1st at the Boutwell Auditorium. He says the Southeastern Champion 'Nature Boy' Buddy Landel will be debuting here today and next week Saturday the Southeastern Tag Team Champions The Rock & Roll Express will be making their debut in the CWA. Lance agrees this exciting news. Jarrett says that Charlie Platt and Joe Pedicino will be hosting a Southeastern television show featuring highlights from this show and the arena matches in Birmingham. Opening match- Hillbilly Jim/Plowboy Frazier beat Carl Fergie/Keith Eric when Jim pinned Eric after a 'big boot' Lawler comes out and is still furious about late week's chain match with Tommy Rich. He said he wants Rich in the ring this week and he wants to end this once and for all! Jerry Jarrett comes back out and informs 'the King' that this week will be the 'Final Battle' in Memphis between Lawler and Rich. The match will be contested in a Steel Cage for the USWA World Title and Idol will be barred from the building, if he shows his face in the arena during this match he will be fined and suspended. Lawler says that's perfect as far as he is concerned and he plans to injure Rich and send him back to the USWA in an ambulance. The King storms off. COMMERCIAL Second match- Southeastern Champion 'Nature Boy' Buddy Landel pinned David Haskins following a 'corkscrew elbow' Landel joins Lance Russell and tells everyone "Do not adjust your television sets, I really am this handsome."

LowBlowPodcast Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 CWA continues to roll along and I like seeing the difference between Lawler here and Lawler in USWA. It is a great use of him as a worker and character. I think you have got some serious contenders coming up through the rankings and still think there is huge future with your recent signings of the Rock n Roll, Dundee, Landell, and even Adrian Street who will all prove to be special and valuable members of the roster.

LowBlowPodcast Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Gosh you have formed a great Memphis roster here. I think this is the most authentic roster we have. I am interested in seeing Brad and Bob do work with Lawler, Dutch, and Dundee along with the Rock N Roll Express. It is a very powerful group of babyfaces and the heels can come in and out with no questions asked. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yeah, you probably have the most balanced roster in terms of faces & heels of us all. That always makes for interesting reads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentofenton Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I am in agreement about the roster. Love the shows, Honky Tonk Man and the TV title reign is fun for me. I love Lawler, so watching him defend the USWA World Title here has been really fun read. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneJackson95 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 CWA Championship Wrestling WMC TV-5 Studios Memphis, TN. Saturday July 14, 1984 Airing Live 11am cst- 12:30pm cst on WMC TV-5 and on tape throughout the territory on various stations. (Various highlights are shown from last Monday night ending with Lawler pinning Tommy Rich in their 'final battle' in the Steel Cage) Lance and Dave welcome everyone to the show and talk about the huge day in store including a huge main event that will take place today in the studio. We will also see the debut of Ricky and Robert, the Rock & Roll Express, and we'll hear from the NWA World Heavyweight Champion 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair. Johnny V comes out to the desk and announces that he is now the manager of the hottest commodity in professional wrestling…Austin Idol and Buddy Landel- THE DREAM TEAM!! Idol and Landel make their way out to the desk. Idol has the Southern title belt draped over his shoulder and says that rumor has it that Dundee and Brad Armstrong have demanded a 'Southern Streetfight' against the Dream Team this Monday in Memphis and the bad news is they have accepted. Landel chimes in that they are gonna regret this and they should beware of what they ask for because now they are getting it! Johnny V interjects that we will get to see the Dream Team in action today a little later on so prepare ourselves for greatness. First match- "Dirty" Dutch Mantell pinned Keith Eric after a short arm clothesline Dutch comes over to the desk still enraged about last Monday night….he says that the Honky Tonk Man had the audacity to whip him with his own whip, 'Shoobaby'. Mantell says now the TV title is secondary to "teaching this clown a lesson", Monday night they will meet in a 'No Ropes Bullwhip Match' and HTM will know his place after Monday night! COMMERCIAL Second match- Southeastern Tag Champions The Rock & Roll Express defeated Carl Fergie/The Inferno when Gibson pinned Inferno after a double drop kick Morton/Gibson join Lance at the desk, Morton says they've competed against some of the top tag teams across the country and now they are here to defend the Southeastern Tag Team titles and to earn a shot at the World Tag Team Champions….and hopefully at some point they will get a chance to face the so-called 'Dream Team'! Jerry Jarrett comes out and says he's excited to announce that this Monday night….the biggest match in pro wrestling is going to take place when the current USWA World Champion Jerry 'the King' Lawler will defend against the current NWA World Champion 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair in a Unification Match, when this match ends there will be one true World Heavyweight Champion. Lance says we have a video from the NWA champion to look at right now. (VTR- NWA World Champion Ric Flair) Flair says that as the one and only true World Champion in wrestling, he is offended that Jerry Jarrett would insinuate that the belt Lawler is wearing is even in the same league as the one and only true World Championship, the NWA World Title. He says he's going to come to Memphis this Monday night and put an end to the controversy once and for all and when he beats and humiliates Jerry Lawler, some lucky fan will go home with that "useless piece of scrap metal" they call the USWA 'World' Title. We return and Jerry Lawler has joined Jarrett and Lance. Lawler says he used to belittle the USWA title at one time but having held the title and seen the grueling schedule and stiff world class competition he's had to face he has a whole new respect and regard for the USWA World Championship and he says after he gets done with Flair and takes the NWA belt from him….Flair will have a whole new respect for it as well! COMMERCIAL Third Match is a TV Title Match The Honky Tonk Man w/Col. Sonny King defeated Thunderbolt Patterson with his feet on the ropes….Afterwards, Dutch Mantell chased HTM and King out of the studio while trying to whip him with the bullwhip Woman comes out and lets Dave Brown know that she's given her monsters the day off to get ready for this Monday night when they defend against those "two ignorant hillbillies". She says if they manage to get past the 'Dream Team' today they won't be so lucky on Monday night.
