agentofenton Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 May 1, 1985 World Championship Wrestling TV Taping (Airing May 4, 1985) Augusta, GA Civic Center Tony Schiavone & David Crockett welcome us to WTBS. This week we have another MACW debut, with The Midnight Express from Lutte Internationale coming in for tag team action. 24 Karat are here in 8-man tag team action! A number of champions will be in action, we don’t wait any longer and head to the ring. NWA United States Tag Team Champions The Foreign Legion {Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff} (w/ Paul Jones) defeated The Young Stallions (Jim Powers & Paul Roma in 4:02 after Sheik made Powers submit to the Camel Clutch. COMMERCIAL BREAK 1 We return to David Crockett standing next to the new NWA Mid Atlantic Heavyweight Champion “The Ragin’ Bull” Manny Fernandez. They discuss Manny defeated George Steele at a recent event for the championship. “The Ragin’ Bull” says he will be a fighting champion, just like “The Animal” and he sees a bright future. NWA Mid Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Manny Fernandez defeated Ray Apollo with the Flying Burrito after 5:21. COMMERCIAL BREAK 2 NWA Canadian International Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk defeated “Iron” Mike Sharpe in 3:39. Just as the match ends, United States Champion Magnum TA rushes the ring and brawls with Terry Funk. A number of officials and some of the wrestlers empty the locker room and separate these two. They drag both men out of the ring, but they get away from the mob and begin to fight in the aisle. The gang of officials and wrestlers once again get the two separated as we head to commercial break. COMMERCIAL BREAK 3 Tony and David are at the set, review what we just saw. They plead with the MACW officials to sign a match between these two. Bruce, Keith & Owen Hart defeated Gary Royal, Terry Gibbs & Rene Goulet after Bruce pinned Rene Goulet. COMMERCIAL BREAK 4 24 Karat {NWA World Champion Ric Flair, NWA Television Champion Tully Blanchard, Ray Stevens & “The Ace” Bob Orton Jr.} (w/ JJ Dillon) defeated Dusty Wolfe, Italian Stallon, Swede Hansen & Steve Lombardi in 7:41. COMMERCIAL BREAK 5 Sam Houston defeated Tiger Chung Lee in 6:46 with a running bulldog. COMMERCIAL BREAK 6 The Midnight Express (w/ Jim Cornette) defeated Jerry Saggs & Brian Knobbs in 5:35 after a Rocket Launcher. Tony welcomes the Midnight Express to the set. Jim Cornette tells him to shut up, his Momma told him he had TV time tonight. Cornette looks out to the crowd. He tells them that they were just witness to the greatest tag team on God’s green Earth. The NEXT NWA World Tag Team Champions. It doesn’t matter to him if they win the titles in Lutte Internationale, or right here in Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. All he needs is those idiot Rougeau Brothers to sign the dotted line. His Momma said he would be great, and once they sign that contract, he’ll make her so proud! COMMERCIAL BREAK 7 NWA United States Heavyweight Champion Magnum TA defeated Dennis Stamp with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex in :45. Magnum is handed his title and he arrives with David and Tony at the set. Tony asks Magnum what can he do about the menace that is Terry Funk. Magnum looks right into the camera and challenges Funk for a match, anywhere, anytime. Title for Title. His US title against the Canadian International Championship. END OF TV TAPING Great Kokina won a 16-man battle royal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordi Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I really like the way you use your jobbers to keep your mid card guys over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I agree with gordi, you have some great jobbers in Ray Apollo, Jim Powers and Paul Roma and are used to really keep midcarders busy on your shows. Although I could see Paul Roma being a useful addition to the 24 Karat stable in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Love the baby face run in by TA. That's when you now a feud is white hot! I like that Many Fernandez is the new Mid-Atlantic Champ. I always viewed the Animal as a crazy lunatic who can be just as good without a belt. Good work as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Must say that I REALLY liked the main event at the Omni. Crowd must've eaten it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I have to imagine that Fuji's clan and the Hart Brothers are getting *really* good at working together after matching up so often. I love a good long-term mid-card feud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentofenton Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Fuji's Clan and Harts will be finishing up around the loop soon. We got the title change, and some mandatory rematches for the titles and it'll be time to move them off to something else. With Fuji, it's easy to use his guys against the same faces, because he has a number of guys at his disposal. Mr. Saito, Tanaka & Tiger Chung Lee, now its the Masters of Torture and Kokina.

kevinmcfl Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I really enjoy the Fugi Clan and hope to see them on top. Good heel stables are so fun to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 You and Lutte really need to be put over for your abilities to co-promote and use each others talents. I would encourage others to try this model as it not only makes a "super roster" of sorts, but it really adds to the ability to create some great matchups. Now the age old question has to be answered.... Barry or Magnum... who is the next in line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yeah, this is a really advantageous model to use mostly because it allows us to vary our cards every once in a while and give fresh matchups to our fans almost every time. Looks like with the formation of the UWF, USWA & Continental is about to use the same model as well so it's gonna be fun to compare our cards later down the road. But, overall, everyone is doing a fantastic job with their rosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 I can't wait to see who is next in line. Both rosters have some great choices and title changes bring energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinmcfl Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I enjoy how your roster is really balanced. From Tim Horner in the opening to Ric Flair and the other major players in the Main Event. Very nicely organized. Would love to see that one main rival step up and give Flair the feud of a lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
