Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano.

 

Rickin: It's time for another hour of World Wrestling Council action lucha libre fans. We have a great show for you today and as always I am joined by my colleague Hugo Savinovich.

 

Hugo: It's great to be here Rickin! December is just starting and there are only 22 days until our big Christmas show!!

 

Rickin: That's right fans. We've got another match to add to the already stacked card. Abdullah Tamba has agreed ot face Barrabas' new big man Bam Bam.

 

Hugo: What a match that will be!!

 

Rickin: It will be a very good indicator of whether Bam Bam is ready for Abdullah the Butcher for sure. Tonight we will be joind at the desk by Ricky Santana before his match. Dutch Mantell will be in action as well.

 

Hugo: Always good to see Dutch! He's such a treat to watch!

 

Rickin: Dutch is a very accomplished wrestler. All three Invaders will be in a six man tag. Hercules Ayala will be wrestling tonight as well. Los Super Medicos will be joining Chicky Starr in his Sports Shop.

 

Hugo: The evening isn't complete without a visit to Chicky's Sports Shop!

 

Rickin: Miguel Perez will be bringing his charges, Hurcana Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez to the desk as well. Hercules Ayala will also join us, presumably to talk about his upcoming match with "the Latin Lover" Al Madril.

 

Hugo: He'd better have somebody watching his back! Al Madril will take any opportunity he sees to attack!

 

Rickin: I hope he takes your advice Hugo. Al Madril is a very dangerous man. Commissioner Pedro Castillo will be joining us at the desk as well. And our main event tonight is a big one. Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez will be teaming with Abdullah Tamba. They will take on barrabas' entire stable, Jonathan Boyd, the Crusher and the agile big man Bam Bam.

 

Hugo: THAT will be GREAT!! Bam Bam impressed last time against Frank Conners. I'm DYING to see how those three fare against him!!

 

Rickin: I'm looking forward to seeing that as well Hugo. We're now joined by a young man who has been on a bit of a roller coaster ride of late. Ricky Santana, you were visiting with Chicky Starr last week. He had some advice for you that I don't agree with 100%.

 

Santana: I...I've been doing a lot of thinking on a lot of things since then Rickin.

 

Rickin: And have you asked people like Invader 1 or Carlitos Colon what they have to say?

 

Santana: I haven't been talking to many people this week Rickin. I need to figure out some things for myself and it seems like the conflicting advice just makes things harder.

 

Rickin: I can understand where you're coming from Ricky. We all have to make hard choices and you seem like a smart young man. I trust that you're going to make the right choice.

 

Santana: Thank you Rickin.

 

The two men shake hands and Santana works his way through the crowd to the aisle. The fans are still supportive, but Santana is a little hesitant to engage.

 

Rickin: He's had a tough few weeks. We've all had times like that though.

 

Hugo: If he's smart he'll listen to-

 

Rickin: He is smart Hugo. He's trying to find his own way, even if it's a difficult thing to do.

 

Hugo: And if he goes the direction that Chicky Starr is pointing, will you be as supportive?

 

Rickin: That's a very good question Hugo. Santana is in the ring and there is the bell.

 

Mr. X vs. Ricky Santana

 

Santana is dominant with chops and punches until X starts using dirty tactics for a short comeback. Santana fires up quicky and his punches gain more steam. A short rope running sequence and Santana with a big running crossbody almost gets 3. A slam by Santana and he goes up top for a crossbody that gets the three count.

 

Ricky Santana by pinfall in 5:19 with a top rope crossbody

 

Santana looks like he is ready to take out more of his agression on Mr. X, but he reins himself in and leaves the ring, the fans cheering him as he walks to the back.

 

Hugo: He's getting smarter!!

 

Rickin: It's a good thing that he is still staying in control. There is no need to keep punishing your opponent after the final bell rings.

 

Hugo: Unless you wanted to send a message or hurt somebody!!

 

Rickin: Neither of which Ricky Santana should be doing.

 

Hugo: It might make people like Dutch Mantell less likely to take advantage of him.

 

Rickin: I have to wonder if the result is worth the price. Speaking of Dutch, we'll see him in the ring when we come back. Right after los Super Medicos in Chicky's Sports Shop.

 

Hugo: I wonder what Chicky will talk to them about...

 

Rickin: We'll find out after the break. Don't go anywhere fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 0 - 8:30

 

We come back to the set of Chicky's Sports Shop. Victor arrives first and grabs the mic, handing it to Chicky as he sits down.

 

Starr: Welcome to my sports shop, I'm Chicky Starr. Today we have a tag team that has had some tough luck lately. I'm talking of course about los Super Medicos.

 

Super Medico 1 and 2 walk in and sit down.

 

Starr: You recently had a chance at the NWA WWC Caribbean Tag team championships and came very close, but did not walk out with the titles. I've followed your careers and that seems to happen more often than not.

 

 

Medico 1: You might remember that it was YOU and YOUR friends, los Infernales, who cost us that match!

 

Starr: If I had to remember, I'd say that the two of you were looking pretty close to finished when we hit the ring. We saved you a loss if you ask me.

 

Medico 1: That match was still in question. Los Invaders are a very tough team-

 

Starr: One week later you two had a match against two members of los Infernales, Pirata Morgan and MS-1, to determine the number one contenders for those belts. How did that end?

 

Medico 1: Morgan held my tights when he rolled me up. That whole match they had to resort to-

 

Starr: It sounds to me like sour grapes. I remember you losing the match 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. I also remember the match being very one-sided against you. Let me tell you something about the fans here in Puerto Rico. They don't care much for excuses. They don't like when supposed men like you come on here and whine about how they lost. You lost. Instead of complaining about it and making excuses, you might want to start figuring out how to-

 

Super Medico 1 grabs the mic from Chicky's hand. Victor jumps in front of Chicky as he leaps to his feet. All four wrestlers are standing, ready to fight and Chicky finds a baseball bat on the set.

 

Medico 1: What i was saying, before I was cut off, is that it doesn't matter to us if los Infernales are going to win like that. We'll find a way to beat them. We'll find a way to capture the tag titles. What we won't do is come here and be disrespected by you!

 

Super Medico 1 throws the mic at Chicky Starr and los Super Medicos storm off the set. Chicky sits back down and smiles at the camera.

 

Starr: What an unfortunate week on my sports shop. My guests, who I invited to talk through their recent issues and perhaps help them find their way again, were very rude. I apologize for this. Next week I'll be talking to a man who will surely show more respect. NWA Carribean champion Al Madril will be joining me to talk about his match with Colon's musclehead crony, Hercules Ayala. Be sure to join us next week on

Chicky's Sports Shop!

 

Hugo: The nerve of Super Medico 1!

 

Rickin: I'm sure Chicky Starr was very offended.

 

Hugo: He should be! Chicky invited los Super Medicos on the show to have a civil discussion.

 

Rickin: if that was the case, Chicky would have been civil. El Vikingo is in the ring and you can hear the crowd reacting to Dutch Mantell's arrival.

 

Hugo: Dutch Mantell isn't a man who needs the approval of the crowd!

 

Rickin: That is...an odd way of putting it Hugo. Dutch isn't trying too hard to make friends on his way to the ring.

 

Hugo: Who would want these people as friends?!?

 

Rickin: The referee is signalling for the bell, here we go.

 

El Vikingo vs. Dutch Mantell

 

Mantell takes Vikingo apart with punches and kicks from the start. Mantell is momentarily distracted by los Mercenarios in the aisle. Vikingo can't sustain offense for any amount of time and a short lariat by Mantell sets up the gourdbuster for three.

 

Dutch Mantell by pinfall in 4:38 with the gourdbuster

 

Rickin: Impressive showing for Dutch.

 

Hugo: Of course it is!! He gives 100% every time out!!

 

Rickin: I won't disagree. Do we know why los Mercenarios were out watching Dutch Mantell?

 

Hugo: I don't! But I can guess.

 

Rickin: That's all we have at this point. Odd that they would tip their hand so blatantly. We'll be right back with Hercules Ayala at the desk before he wrestles.

 

(Commercial Break) 8:30-17:30

 

Rickin: We're back with the one and only Hercules Ayala. It is now official that your match wiht him on December 23rd is for the NWA WWC Carribean championship.

 

Ayala: I never needed it to be for the title. What Madril did to my friend Victor Jovica is more than enough reason to give him the beating of his lifetime!

 

Rickin: The Carribbean Heavyweight title is a prestigious belt. The idea of taking it away from a man like Madril has to appeal to you.

 

Ayala: It's not that i disagree with you about Madril not deserving that belt Rickin. He is scum and has no place near any title! This is far more personal than any championship though. I'm not going in only to win a match or win gold. I'm going in to hurt the man. I want him to feel even a small portion of the pain that he caused my friend! I hope you're listening Madril. After December 23rd YOU are going to be enjoying the view from a hospital bed just like Victor Jovica!

 

Rickin: I sure hope Frank Conners has recovered from the beating he took at the hands of Bam Bam. Ayala is angry and I think Conners will take the brunt of it.

 

Hugo: That's a big man to try to handle one-on-one in the ring, even when he's NOT angry!

 

Rickin: And he is definitely angry right now. Is that...why are los Mercenarios out here again?

 

Hugo: Misdirection, Rickin. Whoever they are after, they aren't going to let on that easy!

 

Rickin: Ayala took notice, but he's right back to business as the bell rings.

 

Frank Conners vs. Hercules Ayala

 

Ayala is all over Conners with punches, kicks, knees and clubbing forearms. A clothesline puts Conners down hard and Ayala starts working on the leg. The reverse figure 4 is locked on by Ayala and Conners taps out almost immediately.

 

Hercules Ayala by submission in 3:52 with the reverse figure 4
Rickin: Ayala seems to have taken out all of his anger on Conners, he released the hold right away and is helping the young American up.

 

Hugo: THAT is the kind of thing that will cost him against the Latin Lover!

 

Rickin: I doubt very much that Hercules Ayala will show any mercy towards Al Madril after what madril has done.

 

Hugo: Hmm, he TALKS that way, but has yet to show me. I'm not convinced.

 

Rickin: I'll be sure to let Hercules know that you need more convincing next time I talk to him.

 

Hugo: Let's not go too far now!!

 

Rickin: Just having a little fun with you Hugo. Up next we will talk to commissioner Pedro Castillo and all 3 Invaders will be wrestling in 6 man tag action. Don't go anywhere.

 

(Commercial Break) 17:30-24:00

 

Rickin: Welcome back fans, we are joined now by commissioner Pedro Castillo. Commissioner, we've seen some wild brawls and vicious post-match attacks in the last month. What does the commission have you doing to combat this?

 

Castillo: The commission doesn't always give me specific directives as far as how to deal with this instance or that instance. They put it on my shoulders to keep things running as smoothly as possible. They are as aware as I am that there are certain elements within the WWC that will, shall we say, bend the rules to tip things in their favor. They will come out here and attempt to injure other wrestlers to gain an advantage.

 

Rickin: And you have been given the power to punish them.

 

Castillo: I have. First I want to point out that men like Hercules Ayala, Invader 1 and Carlitos Colon have, both in the past and recently, suggested to me that they would like to be the ones to punish their rivals in the ring for their actions. You and I both know how much these men enjoy taking out their frustrations in the ring.

 

Rickin: Yes we do. Sometimes they will go to the same lengths as the offender in doing so.

 

Castillo: So with that in mind, there are times when I leave punishment to those men because it is far more...direct than anything I can do. I have two ways of punishing offending wrestlers. I can fine them. That has been done in several cases. There is a certain....benefactor, however, who makes that a less effective means of punishment and only serves to band these men who disregard the rules together.

 

Rickin: We both know who you are talking about. I can only guess most of our fans do as well.

 

Castillo: I would agree Rickin. And the other punishment that i can dish out is suspension. Believe me I wanted to suspend Al Madril after his actions. But hercules Ayala was adamant that he get his hands on him and I don't envy Mr. Madril one moment of that punishment. I did fine the man heavily. Chicky Starr's bank account will take a hit as well. I realize that is not something that Chicky Starr worries about. So I got a little creative. Chicky Starr has nothing at stake in the 8 man tag match on december 23rd. Sure, he will lose the benefit of having los Infernales in his camp. But there needs to be more. I added a clause into the contract that stipulates Chicky Starr will lose his hair if his team loses the match.

 

The crowd pops big for this.

 

Rickin: That is quite the punishment for Chicky Starr.

 

Castillo: Yes it is. And I know Chicky Starr will come after me with lawyers and talk of how he did not sign that contract. If he had been paying attention he would note that the WWC, whom I represent, can make changes to the contract legally. So Chicky Starr had better hope that los Infernales can come through on december 23rd, or those blond curls he is so proud of will be gone. Good evening gentlemen and keep up the good work. It's always a pleasure to come and chat Rickin.

 

Commissioner Castillo wades through a sea of jubilant fans congratulating him on his way to the back.

 

Rickin: December 23rd just got a lot more risky for Chicky Starr.

 

Hugo: Can Commissioner Castillo DO that? Chicky can't lose his HAIR!!

 

Rickin: From the sound of it, he can and did. To be fair, Chicky was the one man with nothing really to lose.

 

Hugo: Los Infernales are his friends! He would lose allies!

 

Rickin: Chicky Starr's allies are disposable. He truly has no care for any of them.

 

Hugo: And HOW do you know that? Has he said that to you?!?

 

Rickin: He's left men high and dry before to save his own skin. Los Infernales will end up the same. We now turn our focus to the ring, where Mr. Y, Z and...W are awaiting their opponents.

 

Hugo: How many of them ARE there?!?

 

Rickin: Hard to say. 26?

 

Hugo: HEY! I'm supposed to make the jokes!

 

Rickin: I didn't mean to step on your toes Hugo. The crowd erupts as los Invaders, 1, 2 and 3 come out.

 

Hugo: No worries! All three Invaders together are going to be difficult for los Infernales to beat.

 

Rickin: Yes, and then you add in Carlitos Colon.

 

Hugo: Remember that they are all dealing with Chicky Starr though! You and I both know he'll have something up his sleeve.

 

Rickin: Probably multiple somethings. It looks like we have another Mercenarios sighting as well. We're ready for action.

 

Mr. W, Y & Z vs. Los Invaders

 

Invader 2 starts the match off for his team with his big left hooks. Invader 3 with a neckbreaker and a bullet tope. Invader 1 showcases his big chops and punches. Teamwork from the three Invaders leads to 1 sending 3 off the ropes. 1 backdrops 3 up and over, right onto Mr. W for the 3 count.

 

Los Invaders by pinfall in 5:46 with a cannonball (Invader 1 backdrop into Invader 3 senton)

 

Hugo: WOW!! I've always loved that senton!!

 

Rickin: Invader 3 gets plenty of height, whether he's coming off the top or Invader 1's backdrop.

 

Hugo: Although that IS illegal to double team like that!

 

Rickin: There is a 5 count before the man has to leave the ring.

 

Hugo: I'm glad we see some things the same Rickin!

 

Rickin: I'm not sure what to think about that. Up next we'll be talking with Huracan Castillo Jr., Miguelito Perez and Miguel Perez before they head to the ring for our main event.

 

Hugo: Bam Bam against little Abdullah!!!

 

Rickin: That should be quite the confrontation. Don't you dare go anywhere fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 24:00-34:00

Miguel Perez is standing next to Rickin along with his son and Huracan Castillo Jr. The three are discussing something off mic.

 

Hugo: It's ALMOST time!!

 

Rickin: Yes it is Hugo. Miguel Perez, it seems as if your boys have a monumental task ahead of them. They take on not only Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher, but the big man Bam Bam.

 

Perez: It will be a test. All these two can do is go in the ring and give it their all. You forgot to mention we do have Abdullah Tamba on our side.

 

Rickin: He is not Abdullah the Butcher, but he can be unpredictable as well.

 

Perez: This is true. But I think the threat of Bam Bam across the ring will keep him focused on our opponents.

 

Rickin: This is also an opportuniy for Huracan and Miguelito to get one up on Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher.

 

Perez: If we can get a win over them while they have Bam Bam on the team, absolutely. As I was telling the boys earlier, we need to avoid focusing too much on Bam Bam and take Boyd and the Crusher as serious threats as well. We also can't let Bam Bam dictate how the match goes, we have to keep one of the other two in the ring. If we can do those two things we should be able to do well.

 

Castillo: Tonight Barrabas learns that size alone won't get the better of us!

 

Miguelito: We have our pride! We have the support of all of these people!

 

Perez: No matter what the challenge, these boys will face it head-on and eventually come out on top.

 

Castillo Jr. and the Perez father and son head to the ring with the crowd cheering them on.

 

Rickin: Good luck to you in the ring boys.

 

Hugo: For all I've said about his management of that team, he's got the right ideas!

 

Rickin: Let's hope they pan out. Bam Bam is a force to be reckoned with and I doubt even Carlitos would have an easy time with him.

 

Hugo: There is that, but I managed Abdullah the Butcher, the Monster, the Machine! There were multiple opponents who survived his onslaught and came close to beating him. There ARE ways.

 

Rickin: There is that. We'll have to see how this goes. Castillo and Perez have reached the ring and here comes Abdullah Tamba.

 

Hugo: He looks ready!

 

Rickin: He does look very serious. He is giving away about 100 pounds to Bam Bam, something he's not used to.

 

Hugo: And we're not sure he can work with Castillo and Perez!!

 

Rickin: I would imagine Miguel was correct in saying that he'll be worried enough about Bam Bam that he won't do anything detrimental ot the team.

 

Hugo: But will he be able to work smoothly with people he's never tagged with? That's important!!

 

Rickin: You bring up a very good point Hugo.

 

Hugo: Of course!!

 

Rickin: He doesn't seem to be talking to anyone even as he reaches ringside. That isn't a great sign. The crowd is a little hushed as Barrabas leads his men out.

 

Hugo: What? No garbage to throw?!?

 

Rickin: I imagine they are a little afraid of Bam Bam. They are starting to boo as Boyd and Barrabas start disparaging the fans.

 

Hugo: Maybe they should be afraid of ALL the people they throw things at!!

 

Rickin: Bam Bam is a little...bigger. And way too agile for his size.

 

Hugo: There is that.

 

Rickin: Barrabas is conferring with his clients at ringside and it looks like he's starting with Bam Bam in the ring.

 

Hugo: WOW! And Huracan Castillo Jr. wants to be the first for his team! Is he crazy?!?

 

Rickin: We'll find out soon. Here we go.

 

Huracan Castillo Jr., Miguelito Perez & Abdullah Tamba vs. Jonathan Boyd, the Crusher & Bam Bam

 

Castillo throws everything he has at Bam bam to no effect. A clothesline by Castillo bounces off and Bam Bam lays in a few punches. Castillo staggers back into the corner and Perez tags himself in. Perez has a little more effect, but not much. A dropkick staggers Bam Bam slightly, but not enough to stop him from hitting a big clothesline on Perez as he gets up. Barrabas calls Bam Bam over and he tags to the Crusher. Crusher and Boyd work over Perez before he tags to Castillo, who clears both from the ring but does not go to attack Bam Bam on the apron. Boyd and then Crusher take turns trying to get the advantage on Castillo then Bam Bam is tagged in again. He gives Castillo a massive working over before tagging in Boyd. Boyd and the Crusher double team Castillo until he gets a tag to Tamba. The crowd explodes as Tamba easily runs both Boyd and the Crusher, despite the Crusher's size, out of the ring. Bam Bam hits the ring and a massive confrontation ensues between the two big men. The other 4 brawl on the floor as Bam Bam gets an advantage and sends Tamba into the corner. big splash but Tamba won't go down. Bam Bam runs into a throat thrust by Tamba. the Crusher is counted out by the referee.

 

Castillo, Perez & Tamba by countout at 14:22

 

Bam Bam is sent to the corner by Tamba that doesn't put Bam bam down but it does stagger him. Bam Bam fires back with right hands after a few Tamba throat thrusts and a headlock punch. Tamba backs into the ropes and hits a clothesline that sends Bam Bam over the ropes. Tope by Abdullah Tamba takes Bam Bam off his feet!

 

Hugo: WOW!!!! He just knocked the big man down with that tope!!

 

Rickin: Very impressive, but at best that will get him a countout on the 23rd.

 

Hugo: They are STILL BRAWLING!! We've got the ENTIRE locker room emptying to try to separate them!!

 

Rickin: Even their tag partners are trying to help with that. Be sure to join us next week fans. Chicky Starr will have Al Madril as his guest and our main event is for the NWA WWC Tag Team titles. Pirata Morgan and MS-1 will be challenging Invader 1 and 2 for the belts.

 

Hugo: Did you SEE that clothesline by Bam Bam?!? Invader 1 looks to be OUT!

 

Rickin: We'll see you next week fans.

[SirEdger]

I think Bam Bam vs Abdullah Tamba could be a fun little program. Solid work again!

[GeneJackson95]

Love seeing Dutch Mantell here in the WWC,should be fun to watch how things unfold for him.

 

Bam Bam is going to be a big hit on the island, his great build up contunues.

[kevinmcfl]

Bam Bam is a force here and it works perfectly in Wild Island Wrestling.

[spaldoni]

I've been getting caught up on your shows and you're doing a great job! I love your use of the announcers to keep all the angles moving. Dutch Mantell and Al Madril are great fits here. I'm really enjoying Chicky Starr here and the added stipulation of cutting his hair if he loses was brilliant. Fun stuff!

Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano.

 

Rickin: Lucha libre fans, we have a great show for you this evening. First we are going to take you back to last week.

 

Footage is shown of Bam Bam in his six man tag as well as post-match where it took the entire locker room to separate Bam Bam and Abdullah Tamba.

 

Hugo: WOW!! That man is UNSTOPPABLE!

 

Rickin: It took Abdullah Tamba throwing himself bodily out of the ring to knock Bam Bam down. We've been informed that neither man is in the building tonight and Barrabas has taken his entire stable out of the show in protest.

 

Hugo: A perfectly normal reaction I'd say!

 

Rickin: It did seem like something you'd do. Tonight we have a packed card for you fans. A man simply named "Rambo" will be debuting, I'm told he wears a mask. Los Mercenarios will be joining us at the desk and wrestling tonight, not just stalking half of the other wrestlers.

 

Hugo: So who do you think is their target?!?

 

Rickin: I haven't the slightest idea, Hugo.

 

Hugo: So their plan is working!!

 

Rickin: You make a fair point. Huracan castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez will be in action, as will Satanico.

 

Hugo: We are in for a treat then! El Satanico is such a great wrestler!

 

Rickin: When he stays within the rule book, yes. Los Super Medicos have a match tonight as well. Al Madril will visit Chicky Starr's Sports Shop.

 

Hugo: THAT should be a fun conversation to hear!!

 

Rickin: For some of us, yes. Satanico and his cohorts, los Infernales, will be joining us at the desk and our main event will be Pirata Morgan and MS1 challenging for the NWA WWC Carribean Tag Team titles held by Invader 1 & 2.

 

Hugo: Los Infernales will be wearing gold tonight!!

 

Rickin: That is far from a foregone conclusion Hugo.

 

Hugo: When the time comes, don't be mad when I say it!!

 

Rickin: *shaking his head* I won't be mad. Our first match is getting close to starting. Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez have a lot of fan support as they walk to the ring.

 

Hugo: See how Miguel Perez is talking stategy with Miguelito more than Castillo?

 

Rickin: I imagine he does enjoy being able to spend time with his son doing something they both enjoy.

 

Hugo: How long until Huracan Castillo Jr. gets jealous?

 

Rickin: I've seen no signs of it Hugo. There is the bell and our first match is underway.

 

Mr. Y & Z vs. Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez

 

Castillo and Perez are the model of legal teamwork, using quick tags and the 5 count. A short comeback by Mr. Z is stopped with a powerslam by Miguelito. Castillo is tagged in, Miguelito picks him up for a back suplex to set up the hurancanrana on Mr. Z for the 3.

 

Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez by pinfall in 5:38 with an assisted hurancanrana

 

Rickin: It looks to me like they are a well-oiled machine as a team Hugo.

 

Hugo: They certainly seem to work well together. Time will tell!

 

Rickin: It usually does. Up next we will be talking to los Mercenarios before they head to the ring for their match. We'll be right back.

 

(Commercial Break) 0-8:00

 

Rickin: Welcome back fans. We are joined by los Mercenarios, who made no less than 3 appearances last week despite not having a match. Did you find what you were looking for?

 

Mercenario 1: You would like to know wouldn't you? I can tell you that we are closing in on our targets. Or target.

 

Rickin: Can I assume that you will be doing more "scouting" tonight?

 

Mercenario 1: You can assume whatever you like. In this case I'd say you wouldn't be wrong.

 

Rickin: The two of you have a very unique style of wrestling. It must make it very hard to stay incognito for long.

 

Mercenario 1: We have no need to be under the radar Rickin. We are good at what we do, and that is hurting people.

 

Rickin: There are more savory ways of making money.

 

Mercenario: Oh? Do you think your friends the Invaders and Carlitos Colon don't hurt people for money or gold? On that same question, why do you think they want that gold? Maybe because it means more money and prestige? Everybody here hurts people for money. We are just up front about it. Like it or not, that IS the truth. Speaking of hurting people, we have work to do.

 

Rickin: I'm not sure what to say to that.

 

Hugo: You could admit that there is truth to what the man says!

 

Rickin: Some, yes. But there are very real reasons why some of what Mercenario said is very misleading as well.

 

Hugo: That's the tricky thing about the truth Rickin.

 

Rickin: You surprise me sometimes Hugo. The fans are not being kind to los Mercenarios, but they don't seem to care.

 

Hugo: No reason to!

 

Rickin: Mr. W and X are ready for los Mercenarios.

 

Hugo: Not for being pulled out of the ring though!

 

Rickin: There is the bell and it seems like we are starting the match outside the ring.

 

Mr. W & X vs. Los Mercenarios

 

Mercenarios clobber and brawl their opponents around ringside, using whatever foreign objects come into reach. A running splash from Mercenario 2 follows a rib breaker by mercenario 1 for the win.

 

Los Mercenarios by pinfall in 4:53 with a rib breaker/splash combo

 

Hugo: Big win for los Mercenarios!! And they aren't done!!

 

Rickin: I know you don't have a problem with this. I just don't see the need.

 

Hugo: People need to be afraid of los Mercenarios! This definitely helps with that!

 

Rickin: To each their own. We'll be back with the debut of Rambo. Don't go anywhere fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 8:00-14:30

 

Rickin: We're back and Isaac Rosario is in the ring. The fans don't seem to know how to react to Rambo.

 

Hugo: That mask! He's clearly not Puerto Rican but he's wearing the flag on his face!!

 

Rickin: He's trying to get the fans involved even on his way to the ring. That isn't exactly working, but they aren't booing him.

 

Hugo: Yet. These people have no idea what they want! They will turn on this guy like most everyone else!

 

Rickin: You don't know that Hugo. Rambo is in the ring and there is the bell.

 

Isaac Rosario vs. Rambo

 

Rambo is dominant with stiff punches and forearms. A HUGE running kneelift cuts off a Rosario comback and Rambo hooks the head. A slight lift before planting Rosario headfirst into the mat gets 3.

Hugo: WOW!! Is Rosario going to be okay?!?

 

Rickin: Impressive debut for Rambo. He's starting to get the fans on his side and there are more than a few who are slapping his hand on the way back to the dresing room.

 

Hugo: They will turn on him.

 

Rickin: I think I speak for both of us when I say we both look forward to seeing more of Rambo.

 

Hugo: You do!

 

Rickin: Up next we have Chicky's Sports Shop with Al Madril. Los Super Medicos will take on los Tejanos as well, so stay with us.

 

(Commercial Break) 14:00-20:30

 

The scene is a lush golf course with a limo pulling up. Chicky Starr gets out of the limo in his blue and white warm-up shirt and athletic shorts. Chicky is shown golfing and playing various sports, as well as wrestling. Cut to the set of Chicky's Sports Shop. Victor the Bodyguard walks on set and grabs two microphones. Al Madril and Chicky Starr walk on set talking and laughing before sitting down. Victor hands them both microphones.

 

Starr: Welcome again to my sports shop! This week I have as my guest a man who has been making waves here in the WWC, "The Latin Lover" Al Madril. This man is the NWA WWC Carribean Champion! And he recently did everyone a favor by removing old man Victor Jovica from active competition. It's about time that guy retired!

 

Madril: Exactly what I said! Too much longer and he'd need somebody to bring him to the ring in a wheelchair.

 

Both laugh.

 

Starr: So tell me, how did it feel to bust big Hercules Ayala open with that belt you have with you?

 

Madril: Oh man, that guy is so thick-headed! Worst part is I think it made him uglier.

 

More laughing.

 

Madril: Seriously though, this big musclehead thinks that he's going to win a taped fist match with me? I got thunder and lightning here (holds up his hands)! I know boxers back home wouldn't mess with me. You think I'm scared of Ayala?

 

Starr: The man has always been such a simpleton. Spending time with Colon and the Invaders doesn't help. They like him as their big, dumb enforcer.

 

The camera very briefly pans to Victor standing with his arms crossed.

 

Madril: He's good for something else?

 

Starr: In time, maybe...but that's a question to be answered another time. So once you take care of the big man, what's next?

 

Madril: You know, putting Jovica out to pasture has certainly increased my standing. Not only in the WWC but with the ladies. But there's only so much beating up an old man can accomplish. Once I beat up big-and-stupid it's going to be ridiculous. I'll have my pick of the litter, but that also means turning down a LOT of women.

 

Starr: You don't already?

 

Madril: You know I do. Last weekend you were buying a couple of them drinks.

 

Starr: More for me is always good!

 

Madril: Yeah brother, that sounds about right. Speaking of more for us, let's get outta here.

 

Starr: That's it for another edition of Chicky's Sports Shop. Next week I will address Don Pedro Castillo's stipulation added to the 8 man tag on December 23rd. It's not often I get a guest like Al and I wanted to have some fun this week. Until next week!

 

Starr and Madril casually stroll off the set the same way they walked in.

 

Rickin: I'm not sure which part of that I thought was more disgusting.

 

Hugo: Just because women don't go for you, no need to be jealous!

 

Rickin: I have a family Hugo. A family I love very much.

 

Hugo: I know, I know, just having some fun with you!

 

Rickin: You do enjoy that. Up next we are going to see los Super Medicos.

 

Hugo: They could definitely use a win!!

 

Rickin: I agree, they have had some tough luck of late. The fans are still behind them though.

 

Hugo: For all that's worth!

 

Rickin: I've seen wrestlers pull through almost impossible situations because the crowd got behind them.

 

Hugo: Or because they have a lot of fortitude! I will admit the fans can help motivate some men. But the physical and mental tools have to be there to begin with!

 

Rickin: Very true Hugo. Los Super Medicos are in the ring and here we go.

 

Los Tejanos vs. Los Super Medicos

 

Medicos use good teamwork early on. A beautiful punch combo from Medico 1 leads to more teamwork. Los Mercenarios make an appearance at the entrance. Medico 2 dropkicks a Tejano into a schoolboy rollup by Medico 1 for the three count.

 

Los Super Medicos by pinfall in 5:12 with a dropkick/schoolboy combo

 

Rickin: Big win for los Super Medicos. They needed that one.

 

Hugo: Their first step on the path back to gold! What about los Mercenarios?!?

 

Rickin: Yes, they are former champions and will very likely be again. It's likely they are just using los Super Medicos as a smokescreen. The tag division is pretty tough right now, but los Super Medicos are one of the best teams in the WWC.

 

Hugo: Something they will have to PROVE before they get another shot!

 

Rickin: I don't doubt that they will prove it, and sooner than you think. Up next we will be joined by los Infernales and el Satanico will be in singles action.

 

Hugo: Speaking of great tag teams!! AND Satanico!! I wouldn't change that channel if I were you!

 

(Commercial Break) 20:30-30:00

 

Hugo: Los Infernales are HERE!

 

Rickin: Indeed they are Hugo. Satanico, would you care to shed any light on Chicky Starr's reaction to Commissioner Castillo's bombshell last week?

 

Satanico: Chicky will tell you all about that himself. I think it says a lot about how the Invaders, Colon and the WWC are feeling about this. They are nervous and they want US to be nervous as well. I can say personally that I am not.

 

Rickin: Pirata Morgan, you agree with this?

 

Morgan: Why else would they be trying to make us scared of losing? Tonight we show the fans here in Puerto Rico why we aren't afraid of losing. We are going to take those belts away from los Invaders!

 

Rickin: MS-1, your partners are very confident.

 

MS-1: No more than I am! We are here for a reason, and taking away the belts is just another step in destroying los Invaders!

 

Rickin: Chicky Starr has a history of turning on men when it is convenient for him. Do the three of you worry about this?

 

Satanico: First, Chicky mentioned that this would be brought up eventually. What you don't understand is that this is a business deal before a friendship. We trust that Chicky will hold up his end of the deal. Second, why would it be convenient for Chicky Starr to turn on us? When Pirata Morgan and MS-1 are tag champions and we help Chicky Starr run los Invaders and Colon out of Puerto Rico, where is the convenience in getting rid of us? We are strong allies.

 

Rickin: You are not the tag champions yet and los Invaders and Colon are still doing very well for themselves. My advice would be to watch your backs.

 

Satanico: My advice would be to sit back and watch while we show you how wrong you are.

 

Satanico heads to the ring accompanied by Pirata Morgan and MS-1.

 

Hugo: You shouldn't make him mad!

 

Rickin: I think he's professional enough that he wouldn't hit an announcer.

 

Hugo: You think?

 

Rickin: I choose to believe that. He has yet to hit any of these fans throwing garbage at him.

 

Hugo: That is true! Do they realize that the wrestlers don't want their garbage?!?

 

Rickin: I don't think that is a concern Hugo. Los Infernales have reached the ring and Satanico is ready to go. There is the bell.

 

Frank Conners vs. Satanico

 

Satanico takes out his anger on Conners with punches, knees and kicks. He then begins stretching Conners out before adminstering the nudo de Satanico for the quick submission victory.

 

Satanico by submission in 4:05 with el nudo de Satanico

 

Rickin: Satanico showing another aspect of his wrestling talent. Very effective use of submissions to wear down his opponent.

 

Hugo: Of course! He's good at everything!!

 

Rickin: I won't deny that, but his choice of allies does not impress me. Up next we will have our main event. Invader 1 & 2 will put up their NWA WWC Carribean Tag Team titles against the team of Pirata Morgan and MS-1. Don't go anywhere fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 30:00 - 36:00

 

Rickin: Welcome back fans. Chicky Starr has joined los Infernales at ringside and had a strategy session. Satanico is shaking his hand and leaving.

 

Hugo: Pirata Morgan and MS-1 are in good hands!

 

Rickin: Chicky is a very good manager, almost as good as you were.

 

Hugo: I...thanks Rickin!

 

Rickin: Here come the champions, Invader 1 & 2.

 

Hugo: Why is Carlitos Colon out here with them?!?

 

Rickin: I imagine he's going to keep an eye on Chicky Starr .

 

Hugo: Good choice. Not that it will do any good! Chicky is crafty!!

 

Rickin: That is true Hugo. We're ready to start, there is the bell for our main event.

 

Pirata Morgan & MS-1 vs. Invader 1 & 2 © for the NWA WWC Carribean Tag Team Titles

 

Back and forth brawling through most of the match with short control by both teams. Starr tries getting involved whenever the action spills outside, but Colon stays close enough that he thinks twice about it. MS-1 starts brawling with Invader 2 on the floor, both illegal men, in between Colon and Starr. Starr passes Morgan a baseball bat from under the ring and Colon jumps on the apron. He is stopped by the referee as Morgan hits Invader 1 in the stomach with the bat, then with a downward swing over the back. The bat is tossed back to Chicky on the outside and Morgan covers for the 3.

 

Pirata Morgan & MS-1 by pinfall in 14:38 after a baseball bat attack

 

Hugo: I TOLD YOU!! We have new champions!! They are brawling around the ring!!

 

Rickin: They didn't beat Invader 1 legally.

 

Hugo: The ref counted to 3. Doesn't matter how you get there!

 

Rickin: I..you're not wrong. Colon has the baseball bat now. Chicky and los Infernales are retreating up the aisle. Los Infernales took the time to grab the tag belts.

 

Hugo: I would be too! He's got a bat!!

 

Rickin: Really Hugo? I wonder how that bat got under the ring.

 

Hugo: I told you, Chicky Starr is crafty!

 

Rickin: He certainly is. We have one more match to add to our big December 23rd card, coming up in just over two weeks. Ricky Santana is getting a rematch against Dutch Mantell. I'm told he is undergoing strenuous training with los Invaders and Carlitos Colon in preparation.

 

Hugo: Wrong people! They can't teach him what he needs to know!

 

Rickin: I disagree Hugo. We're out of time fans. As we leave you, you'll see a rundown of the card for December 23rd. We'll see you next week.

[spaldoni]

Another great show. I love the blend of action in the ring along with the commentary. Man the feud between Los Infernales/Chicky Starr and Los Invaders/Carlitos Colon just went up a notch. Can't wait for the Dec. 23rd card which is stacked!

[gordi]

I think focusing your write-us on the interaction between Hugo and Rickin is a great decision. It allows you to explain more and build the readers' familiarity with what might for some (like me) be a lesser-known roster, particularly your undercard and midcard guys.

 

The infusion of talent from Mexico is really going to give you more to work with going forward. Pirata Morgan & MS-1 as heel champs is going to be great.

[GeneJackson95]

Great card for the 23rd! Hercules Ayala and Al Madril are so underated and should steal the show here but I'm really looking forward to seeing Dutch against Ricky Santana as well!

Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano.

 

Rickin: Hello lucha libre fans and welcome to another hour of the World Wrestling Council. I am joined as always by my broadcasting partner Hugo Savinovich.

 

Hugo: Great to be here!! I LOVE our show this week!

 

Rickin: It is a good one. We have Jonatahn Boyd and the Crusher in a tag team match tonight, as well as Barrabas' other client Bam Bam wrestling.

 

Hugo: BAM BAM!!

 

Rickin: He is certainly a very agile big man and exciting to watch. I just don't care for when Barrabas uses him to bully everyone. Ricky Santana will also be in action, as will Abdullah Tamba.

 

Hugo: I'm not sure if having both Tamba and Bam Bam in the same building is a good idea!

 

Rickin: We can hope that it doesn't go terribly, but I doubt there is any controlling things once they start. Los Infernales will be joining Chicky Starr in the Sports Shop.

 

Hugo: As good a place as any for their celebration!

 

Rickin: I'm not sure they should be celebrating.

 

Hugo: Why do you think they won't be doing it here?!?

 

Rickin: Invader 1 & 2 will be looking for a win after being robbed of the NWA WWC Carribean Tag Team titles last week.

 

Hugo: Robbed?!? How? Looked to me like Invader 1 had his shoulders counted for the 1-2-3!

 

Rickin: After being attacked with a baseball bat.

 

Hugo: Referee didn't see it. Never happened!!

 

Rickin: Los Invaders will all be joining us at the desk before that match, as will Hercules Ayala and Dutch Mantell.

 

Hugo: I was just talking to Dutch earlier this week! He is really looking forward to his match with Ricky Santana on the 23rd!

 

Rickin: That is exactly what I will be talking with Dutch about as well. Our main event tonight is Invader 3 taking on one of the men who took the tag team belts from his fellow Invaders last week, MS-1.

 

Hugo: I'm looking forward to that one!! Invader 3 has his hands full!

 

Rickin: I think all of the Invaders are used to that.

 

Hugo: They have been going back and forth with los Infernales for weeks. Something has to give!

 

Rickin: It does, and I'm guessing that will happen on December 23rd in that 8-man cage match. We're getting set for action as Mr. X and Z are in the ring. Barrabas is leading Boyd and the Crusher out.

 

Hugo: Barrabas has really made his mark of late. His clients have been very successful!

 

Rickin: He has chosen his clients well. Big men like the Crusher and Bam Bam can make a big difference in a match with their raw strength and power.

 

Hugo: Yes! Jonathan Boyd is a dangerous man in his own right!

 

Rickin: Very true, we just tend to focus more on the big men. The referee has started the match.

 

Mr. X & Z vs. Jonathan Boyd & the Crusher

 

Boyd and the Crusher work over their opponents with brawling tactics and power moves from the Crusher. Los Mercenarios again make an appearance. Crusher grabs Mr. Z in a reverse bearhug, setting up Boyd's three point stance clothesline for the 3 count.

 

Jonathan Boyd & the Crusher by pinfall in 5:14 after a reverse bearhug/clothesline combo

 

Rickin: Important win for Boyd and the Crusher as we get closer to December 23rd.

 

 

Hugo: Momentum is very important!

 

Rickin: Yes it is. Barrabas does a good job of keeping his clients focused. We'll be back shortly with Hercules Ayala joining us at the desk and Ricky Santana in a singles match.

 

(Commercial Break) 0:00-8:00

 

Hercules Ayala is standing near the desk with Rickin.

 

Rickin: We are back with Hercules Ayala. Al Madril has been very flippant about your upcoming match on december 23rd. Almost to the point of being dismissive of your chances. How do you feel about that?

 

Ayala: It doesn't bother me at all. I look at every match as something I have to work very hard to win.

 

Rickin: You seem to be approaching this match with a little more thought. When you challenged Madril and the weeks since you've been very angry.

 

Ayala: I still am, I'm just controlling it, letting it simmer. What Al Madril did to Victor Jovica will be avenged! (Ayala takes a few moments.) It's a hard thing to do, but I'm trying to stay focused on my training for the match.

 

Rickin: It is also possible that Madril is attempting to goad you into making mistakes you might not otherwise make. His close friend Chicky Starr is known for that kind of behavior.

 

Ayala: That is something los Invaders, Carlitos and myself have been considering in our training. We can't let our emotions run so high that we charge blindly into their traps.

 

Rickin: Several other questions, many fans wonder is Victor Jovica recovering well? How is young Ricky Santana coming along?

 

Ayala: Victor is able to move around a lot better. He won't be wrestling very soon, I think he learned his lesson last time. He said that he is really loving the show and enjoys listening to the two of you go back and forth.

 

Rickin: He's said the same to me and I'm sure Hugo will appreciate hearing that. I can guess there is one part of the show last week he didn't much care for.

 

Ayala: It fired him up a little bit, but that's just fuel on the fire. As far as Ricky Santana, he's coming along really well. Dutch Mantell is a man I struggle to match in the ring myself. He's got a lot of experience and skill. And he lives up to his nickname, "Dirty Dutch." Ricky is a quick student and I think Dutch Mantell will be surprised.

 

Rickin: Ricky is on his way to the ring right now. You are welcome to join us on commentary.

 

Ayala: It'll be a good opportunity to see Ricky in action, sure.

 

Hugo: Did Victor really say that?!?

 

Ayala: He did. I think we should show Ricky Santana the respect he deserves and talk about how well he's done since he came back to Puerto Rico.

 

Rickin: I would agree. Ricky has been impressing all of us with his athleticism and heart.

 

Hugo: You know how I feel about that, but I'll stay out of it this week.

 

Ayala: Two on one isn't as enjoyable when you are the one is it Hugo?

 

Hugo: Why do you think I was always on the side with bigger numbers?!?

 

Rickin: I don't recall you being outnumbered very often. Ricky is making a circuit of ringside, making sure to greet all of those fans.

 

Ayala: We have been encouraging him to make that extra effort with the fans.

 

Hugo: Yeah, they'll love you until they decide not to!

 

Rickin: Ricky is in the ring and ready to go, there's the bell.

 

Frank Conners vs. Ricky Santana

 

Santana is all chops, kicks and punches early on to overwhelm Conners. A late dropkick by Santana gets the crowd cheering and he follows with a plancha to the floor. After a clothesline in the ring, Santana hits the top rope cross-body for the three count.

 

Ricky Santana by pinfall in 4:58 with a top rope crossbody.

 

Ayala: Big win going into next week's Roberto Clemente Coliseum show and the match with Dutch Mantell.

 

Rickin: Yes, Ricky will need every bit of momentum going into that match. We'll be talking to Dutch Mantell when we come back. Abdullah Tamba will be in the ring taking on Armandito Salgado.

 

Ayala: I heard earlier that Bam Bam won't be allowed in the building until after Tamba is done with his match and out the door.

 

Rickin: After that brawl they had two weeks ago I can't blame the WWC for that decision.

 

Hugo: No fun at all!

 

Rickin: You will have one of the best seats in Roberto Clemente Coliseum for their match next Saturday Hugo.

 

Hugo: But I want to see it NOW!!

 

Rickin: We'll be right back, fans. Don't go anywhere.

 

(Commerical Break) 8:00-17:00

 

Rickin: Welcome back fans. Dutch Mantell has joined me at the desk. You have a long history here in Puert Rico, Dutch. There are those who might say you picked on Ricky Santana a little in your match.

 

Dutch: Are you one of 'em?

 

Rickin: I think that, while I disagree with your tactics, there is always somebody willing to do whatever it takes to win. It's good that Ricky is learning to deal with that early on.

 

Dutch: So I'm giving him an education then? Funny how I heard you painting me as the bad guy a little bit.

 

Rickin: If that's what you heard, you might want to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself some questions.

 

Dutch: (Chuckles.) You always were good at the daddy talks weren't you? I'm not going out there to hurt Santana. I don't care if he learns anything. I'm here to win matches and championships. If you don't like how I do it, fine by me. If you don't want me to beat up some kid, don't put him in the ring with me.

 

Rickin: My understanding is that Ricky Santana himself requested this match. He wants to prove that he can overcome the odds.

 

Dutch: If he wants the match then there's no need to protect him. I don't see where he needs to prove anything. He's been wrestling, what, 2 or 3 years? The kid pushed me and I respect that. I don't care if it's your first match or your thousandth, I'm gonna put you down any way I can.

 

Dutch takes off through the crowd towards backstage.

 

Rickin: Thank you for your time Dutch. It's nice to be surprised sometimes Hugo.

 

Hugo: I always liked Dutch myself!!

 

Rickin: Sometimes I need to be reminded that Al Madril and Chicky Starr are very often the exception rather than the rule.

 

Hugo: OH! Here's Abdullah Tamba!!

 

Rickin: I wonder if what Hercules Ayala said earlier is true.

 

Hugo: I don't see Bam Bam anywhere. And we both know Barrabas well enough to know that we would have seen him by now!

 

Rickin: There is that. The fans are blowing their horns and cheering for Abdullah Tamba.

 

Hugo: I will agree with them on this one! It's always good to see him wrestle!

 

Rickin: He is a very exciting wrestler. His style is very unexpected for his size.

 

Hugo: Heeeere we go!!!

 

Armandito Salgado vs. Abdullah Tamba

 

Tamba runs over Salgado with a shoulderblock to start the match and doesn't slow down. After a powerful slam, Tamba climbs up top and hits a flying splash for the win.

 

Abdullah Tamba by pinfall in 2:47 after a top rope splash.

 

Hugo: Is Salgado OKAY?!?

 

Rickin: That's almost 270 pounds coming down on you from the top rope.

 

Hugo: Ribs could very easily be broken! Let's look at the replay!!

 

Rickin: Salgado is moving, it looks like he isn't injured too badly. He's getting help leaving the ring though. Up next we will have los Infernales visiting Chicky's Sports Shop.

 

Hugo: YES!! Then BAM BAM!!

 

Rickin: We'll be right back lucha libre fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 17:00 - 23:30

 

Cut to a limo pulling up at a golf course and Chicky Starr stepping out. Chicky is shown playing various sports and wrestling. We cut to the Chicky's Sports Shop set with Victor the Bodyguard already in place. Four chairs are placed in front of the camera. Laughter and loud voices are heard before we see an extremely happy Chicky Starr lead in the just as happy los Infernales. Victor hands Chicky a microphone.

 

Chicky Starr: Welcome to my Sports Shop lucha libre fans. We have a lot of things to talk about today, but I promised last week to address Don Pedro Castillo and his little manuevering.

 

Chicky pauses.

 

Starr: I don't care. (laughs) Did you see what happened last week? Put whatever bonus stipulations you want on the match. Now to the good stuff! I will be introducing my friend el Satanico, one of the greatest luchadors to come out of Mexico in years and a future champion in the WWC.

 

Satanico: Thank you, Chicky. I have to say that you were right about all of it. The paranoia from certain people. The attempts to poison us against you. AND the BIG WIN!

 

Starr: Speaking of the big win, let me introduce you to the NEW NWA WWC Carribean tag Team champions, Pirata Morgan and MS-1!!

 

Morgan: It feels great to be a champion Chicky. But it feels even better to put los Invaders in their place! In a week they won't be able to to challenge for these belts for another 6 months!

 

MS-1: What we did was send a message. Los Infernales are going to make los Invaders obsolete! You know it's actually better for los Invaders that they won't be able to challenge us for the belts anytime soon.

 

Starr: And why is that?

 

Morgan: Because they'd only be embarassed when we make them look worse than we did this time. I don't know how they are going to have any confidence going into december 23rd after we beat them so easily last week.

 

MS-1: Yeah, it's one thing to lose the belts, but the way we just demolished them has got to be disheartening.

 

Morgan: How are your ribs feeling this week Invader 1? You going into this match 100%?

 

Starr: Invader 1 may be a backstabbing son of a bitch, but the man is tough. I would not underestimate him too much. Even so, he has to be reeling after the thorough beating his team took last week! This week Invader 3 has challenged Pirata Morgan to a match looking for some kind of revenge.

 

MS-1: You think you get what you want? You get ME! Pirata won't even be at ringside.

 

Chicky: You think that we're going to just give you Pirata Morgan because it's what you want? We are in control of this conflict. We always have been, but the tag belts these men are displaying so prominently after beating you near to death last week cement that even more.

 

Morgan: I'll get to you when the time comes Invader 3. After talking to Chicky, you are the least of our worries and somebody to be ignored until the bigger fish are taken care of. We drew straws and MS-1 got the short one.

 

Starr: That will do it for another edition of Chicky's Sports Shop. A big thank you to my guests this week, los Infernales. Now if you'll excuse us we have celebrating to do!

 

The four men leave the Shop laughing it up with Victor in tow.

 

Rickin: It's interesting to me how they are re-writing history so soon after it happened.

 

Hugo: Morgan hit Invader 1 in the ribs with the bat!! I saw it!!

 

Rickin: You know that's not what I'm talking about Hugo. That match was nowhere near as one-sided as they make it out to be.

 

Hugo: Maybe they remember it different?

 

Rickin: They are just trying to rub it in. It looks like we are getting ready to see Bam Bam. Mr. Y is in the ring.

 

Hugo: There he IS! Barrabas is leading his man out and openly laughing at Mr. Y.

 

Rickin: That's a bit much, but I think we can all agree that Bam Bam is as close to an unstoppable force as we have seen.

 

Hugo: YES! Barrabas has all but challenged Abdullah the Butcher, the Monster, the Machine, to a match already!

 

Rickin: It almost seems like he views this match on the 23rd as a warm-up for that match, despite it not yet being signed.

 

Hugo: It's smart thinking though! Get Bam Bam mentally ready for Abdullah the Butcher by having a match with the smaller version.

 

Rickin: It is, and Abdullah the Butcher will be there to see the match.

 

Hugo: Get inside Abdullah's head, if that is possible, too!

 

Rickin: Barrabas seems to be done menacing the fans with Bam Bam and we're ready for the match to start.

 

El Vikingo vs. Bam Bam

 

Bam Bam is all over El Vikingo, seemingly looking to run him over in as little time as possible. A big slam and the slingshot splash get the three count.

 

Bam Bam by pinfall in 1:38 after a slingshot splash.

 

Hugo: WOW! Bam Bam was NOT playing around tonight!

 

Rickin: No, he wanted to show Abdullah Tamba up.

 

Hugo: I'd say he did!

 

Rickin: It was a very impressive performance. We're going to have all of los Invaders at the desk after the break and Invader 1 & 2 will be in tag team action. Don't touch that dial fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 23:30-29:00

 

Los Invaders are standing with Rickin at the desk.

 

Rickin: Los Invaders have joined me and I'd like to know how you have been taking last week's loss.

 

Invader 1: Not well. The NWA WWC Carribean Tag Team titles meant a lot to us and we don't like losing them or how we lost them.

 

Invader 2: Chicky Starr should never have been at ringside. The man is a nuisance and can't be trusted to stay out of matches.

 

Invader 1: He always was clever, and this time he put one over on us. The mistake we can't make is dwelling on it and letting it bother us. We need to be looking forward and getting done what needs to be done.

 

Rickin: So you aren't too worried about the earlier comments on the match by los Infernales and Chicky?

 

Invader 2: Like Invader 1 says, we can't be. There is a lot at stake next Saturday and we can't let them get inside our heads.

 

Invader 1: We take one thing at a time. Tonight Invader 2 and I put our full attention on los Tejanos. Invader 3 is focused on MS-1. Next week, we look at what is in front of us. And then come the 23rd, we get the job done and send los Infernales packing.

 

Rickin: Invader 3, you challenged Pirata Morgan, does it both you that you are wrestling MS-1?

 

Invader 3: He's one of the three men that took the belts from my friends last week. Even if he didn't have the bat in hand, MS-1 was an accomplice. I'll get my hands on Pirata Morgan in due time.

 

Rickin: The three of you seem very focused, composed and ready for whatever comes.

 

Invader 1: Don't doubt that we're angry Rickin. If you listen to Chicky Starr and his friends, they want us angry. We're going to make them pay, but to do that we can't let our emotions completely take over. It was good to come visit.

 

Rickin: Thank you for joining me. Los Invaders are on their way down to the ring now. It seems Chicky's mind games are not working as intended Hugo.

 

Hugo: Not yet! Wait until the big day and tempers WILL flare! Will los invaders be as in control as they need to be then?

 

Rickin: An interesting question to ask for sure. In the past they've pulled through when it matters. If you can't have faith in los Invaders and Carlitos Colon, who else?

 

Hugo: They do tend to find ways to come out on top. Even if some of them are a little under your approved code of conduct!

 

Rickin: A man can only take so much Hugo. There is a time to fight fire with fire.

 

Hugo: Just wanted to hear you say it.

 

Rickin: (Shaking his head.) It looks like los Invaders are ready to start in the ring.

 

Los Tejanos vs. Los Invaders (1 & 2)

 

Invaders control the match with quick tags and teamwork. Invader 2 stops a comeback by one Tejano with a few big left hooks. A double backdrop is followed by a double elbow drop. Invader 1 puts the sleeper on for the submission victory.

 

Los Invaders by submission in 5:29 with an Invader 1 sleeper

 

Rickin: Los Invaders build some momentum going into the 23rd.

 

Hugo: No way they can come in as hot as los Infernales! Infaernales have the belts and a win over los Invaders!

 

Rickin: Difficult odds, yes, but I've seen them come back form worse. Don't forget they have Carlitos Colon on their side.

 

Hugo: He's tough to bet against, but I know Chicky has something planned!

 

Rickin: I'm guessing the ring will be checked for any kind of weapons before the cage lowers. And don't forget weapons can be used by whoever has them in hand.

 

Hugo: Hmm.

 

Rickin: We'll be back with our main event after these messages.

 

(Commercial Break) 29:00-37:30

 

Rickin: Fans it is time for our main event. Invader 3 has been at ringside since the beginning of last match. Invader 1 & 2 left over the commercial break. MS-1 has come out all by himself, which is a little strange.

 

Hugo: Oh, it's strange that MS-1 is by himself and not Invader 3?!?

 

Rickin: You know exactly what I'm saying Hugo.

 

Hugo: I was wondering where Chicky is too.

 

Rickin: There we are. MS-1 is making sure to show off the NWA WWC Carribean Tag Team belt off to every fan he sees, and it's not making them happy.

 

Hugo: Doesn't matter, he's still one half of the champs!

 

Rickin: And now he's showing the belt to Invader 3.

 

Hugo: Let's see if Invader 3 keeps his cool now!

 

Rickin: Looks like MS-1 was just trying to set him up. Invader 3 ducks the belt shot and there is the bell.

 

Invader 3 vs. MS-1

 

Invader 3 dropkicks the belt back into MS-1's face as he turns around, sending him outside. The match stays outside for most of the first 5 minutes and both men are busted open. A low blow and a slam on the outside allows MS-1 to hit a big tope. Invader 3 makes a big comeback after MS-1 rams his head into various objects outside and hits a low blow and a suplex on the floor to set up his own tope. Invader 3 looks to be setting up his somersault senton off the top when Pirata Morgan, Satanico, Al Madril and Chicky Starr hit the ring, Starr with a baseball bat in hand.

 

Invader 3 by DQ in 12:47 due to interference

 

Invader 1, Invader 2, Hercules Ayala and Carlitos Colon are quick to follow and it turns into a massive brawl around ringside as well as in the ring and the front row.

 

Hugo: WOW!!! Another big brawl!

 

Rickin: It was bound to happen once Chicky Starr and company interrupted the match.

 

Hugo: Yeah, a lot is on the line!! Watch out for the bat! Invader 1 just took a good shot there from Chicky!

 

Rickin: We're almost out of time fans. Be sure to tune in next week and if you don't get tickets for the show on the 23rd we will be releasing a videotape. As we leave you there will be a rundown of the card for that show appearing on the screen. Our cameras will continue to cover this brawl, unless we can get it broken up.

 

Hugo: Why would you DO THAT?!? This is great!

[kevinmcfl]

Great show again. Bam Bam continues to reign here! Looking forward to the Abullah-Brody war that is finally in the right location

[SirEdger]

Oh yeah, for sure. Abdullah vs Brody in Puerto Rico is just perfect!

[spaldoni]

Another great show! Again, I really love how you use the commentary on your shows to help build the angles. Chicky Starr just cracks me up and he plays the perfect heel. I think you have a little gem going with Santana and Mantell. The card on the 23rd is a must see!

[GeneJackson95]

Great show with great character developement for a roster that many may not be familiar with. Great job with the promos, for instance I could hear Dutch Mantell's saying every bit of that as I read it.

[dawho5]

Some viewing stuff for Chicky Starr

My favorite Sports Shop episode put on video twice. But hey, kill him Stan Hansen!!

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va19iUjDsJk

 

The match itself can be hard to appreciate. But the first minute with Chicky coming to the ring and being a preening asshole is glorious.

[LowBlowPodcast]

I will admit that I get lost in some of the text when trying to keep up with everything. I like the climate you are creating and we have spoken to some of those little pieces in PM. The NWA is greatly growing and you are jumping right back in where you were a couple of years ago with a different roster and direction. I like where you're going here and the pieces you are putting together to get there. I find myself drawn to the bigger names coming in... but also how Colon is booked and then the growth of Bam Bam. Keep doin work!

The opening montage featuring highlights of Carlos Colon, Chicky Starr, Invader 1, Invader 2, Invader 3, Abdullah the Butcher, Hercules Ayala and Dutch Mantell plays. Carlos Colon doing a cartwheel and coming up fists at the ready leads to the WWC logo as the music ends.

 

NWA and Capitol Sports Presenta

Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano.

 

Rickin: Hello again lucha libre fans. We've got another great show for you this week. My cohost, as always, is the one and only Hugo Savinovich.

 

Hugo: We're one night away from our HUGE show in Roberto Clemente Coliseum!!

 

Rickin: The show is all sold out, but it will be released on video tape sometime in February.

 

Hugo: Tonight we have a LOT of matches!

 

Rickin: Yes we do, and a rare appearance by Carlitos Colon on TV.

 

Hugo: And another Chicky Starr's Sports Shop!

 

Rickin: Yes, Hercules Ayala will be Chicky's guest tonight. I cna only guess that won't go very well.

 

Hugo: I wouldn't bet against you on that! Los Mercenarios are wrestling in a tag team match tonight!! They have been scouting out many men, I wonder who their target is!

 

Rickin: I have a feeling we'll find out when the unfortunate victim does. Ricky Santana will be joining me for a short interview before his last tune-up match leading into tomorrow night. Our newest addition, Rambo, will be competing as well.

 

Hugo: He impressed me a lot with his skill and aggression last time!

 

Rickin: Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez are shceduled in a tag team match as well. Al Madril will be joining me to talk about his match tomorrow nigth before he wrestles.

 

Hugo: You never seem to like talking to him.

 

Rickin: I don't enjoy talking to grown men who act like difficult children. New NWA WWC Carribean Tag champions Pirata Morgan and MS-1 will have a non-title match tonight.

 

Hugo: That should be fun! They are a great tag team!!

 

Rickin: And our main event tonight will see Carlitos Colon in singles action. He will be joining me at the desk to get a final word in on the situation with los Infernales and Chicky Starr.

 

Hugo: Does he HAVE to have the final word?!?

 

Rickin: Carlitos Colon is the most accomplished wrestler in the World Wrestling Council. He has earned the right Hugo.

 

Hugo: And when Chicky Starr earns that right will you respect it?!?

 

Rickin: If he learns the value of heart, self-sacrifice and hard work I will. Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez are being led to the ring by Miguel Perez.

 

Hugo: They have been looking like an experienced team their last few matches. Very good teamwork and communication.

 

Rickin: They have. They seem to be getting better as they go.

 

Hugo: Success as a team can have it's downsides. One member the other can start to feel like they are carrying a heavier load!

 

Rickin: Very true, but Miguel Perez has been around a long time and he knows both of these young men very well. It seems like he keeps them on the right path.

 

Hugo: The right path for some!

 

Rickin: Fair enough Hugo. Both teams are ready and we're ready to start with our first match of the evening.

 

Los Tejanos vs. Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez

 

Teamwork by Castillo/Perez overwhelms los Tejanos early. Perez hits a big powerslam for a two count that is broken up. Perez holds a Tejano from behind, controlling both arms, as Castillo climbs up top. A missile dropkick from Castillo finishes the match.

 

Castillo/Perez by pinfall in 5:35 after an assisted missile dropkick

 

Hugo: WOW!! What a dropkick by Castillo!!

 

Rickin: Very devastating move for sure. Something Boyd and the Crusher will have to look out for.

 

Hugo: No way Perez can hold the Crusher like that!

 

Rickin: If they wear him down enough, maybe. It would be a difficult task though. We'll be right back with Ricky Santana at the desk and in the ring.

 

(Commercial Break) 0-8:30

 

Rickin: I am joined by a young man who has had the opportunity to train with some of the biggest stars in lucha libre. Ricky Santana, how does it feel to workwith the likes of Hercules Ayala, los Invaders and Carlitos Colon?

 

Santana: It's great Rickin! I mean, I learned a lot when I traveled around the world for a few years. But these guys are on another level. Maybe it's just that I had to get the basics before anybody could start teaching the more difficult aspects of lucha libre.

 

Rickin: There are some, namely Hugo, who would say that you were listening to the wrong men. That men like Al Madril and Chicky Starr might be better suited to teach you how to deal with those who fight dirty.

 

Santana: Maybe, but there's a right way and a wrong way. I don't like shortcuts Rickin. I think you need to earn what's yours, not take it because somebody isn't looking.

 

Rickin: A very good attitude to have. You'll do well with that frame of mind, perhaps not right this instant, but it will come.

 

Santana: Thanks Rickin.

 

Hugo: No way he beats Dutch with that kind of nonsense attitude!

 

Rickin: He might not beat Dutch tomorrow. Dutch made a very good point last week that he has a large experience advantage.

 

Hugo: And will do ANYTHING to win!!

 

Rickin: Yes. However, willingness to use illegal tactics to gain the advantage has yet to keep young wrestlers from losing completely. Every young wrestler is going to take their losses.

 

Hugo: Just makes it a little easier to avoid is all!!

 

Rickin: There is a cost for that, Hugo. Ricky shakes hands with Isaac Rosario and there is the bell.

 

Isaac Rosario vs. Ricky Santana

 

Santana with armdrags to start off. He works an armbar before hitting a series of chops. Rosario makes a short comeback, but ends up being dropkicked over the rope. Santana hits a sliding dropkick as Rosario uses the apron to pull himself up. A running crossbody after a crisscross gets 3 for Santana.

 

Ricky Santana by pinfall in 4:48 with a running crossbody

 

Rickin: Good effort by Ricky Santana. he showed us a few things we hadn't seen before.

 

Hugo: It DOES look like that work he's doing is paying off!

 

Rickin: I noticed you didn't meniton who he was working with.

 

Hugo: As did I!!

 

Rickin: Up next Hercules Ayala will pay a visit to Chicky's Sports Shop. Following that we will see los Mercenarios in action. Don't go anywhere lucha libre fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 8:30 - 15:30

 

We cut to a shot of a limo pulling up on a golf course. Chicky Starr gets out of the limo. Footage is shown of Chicky Starr playing various sports and wrestling. Now cut to the Sports Shop set with Victor the Bodyguard leading the way in. Chicky has a golf club in hand and he sits down in one of 2 chairs. Victor hands him a microphone.

 

Starr: Here we are on the eve of December 23rd. There is so much to talk about! Myself and los Infernales have a match against los Invaders and Carlitos Colon. When we win, Carlitos Colon will be forced to vacate his NWA WWC Universal championship! AND not one of the four men we face will be able to hold a title for 6 months in the WWC! Do you think any of this was an accident? I pushed los Invaders and Carlitos Colon into accepting these terms. What comes after is even better.

 

Chicky pauses

 

Starr: Now I know there are those of you thinking, but what happens if your team loses Chicky? First, los Infernales must leave the World Wrestling Council. Second, something that Don Pedro Castillo added all on his own, I will lose all my hair. If, and I can't tell you how unlikely this is, IF we lose I will put a chair down on the floow of Roberto Clemente Coliseum and invite Commissioner Pedro Castillo out to personally cut my hair. I am that confident we will win. We have the tag belts already, Colon's Universal title is next!

 

Chicky gives a big grin and sits back.

 

Starr: And now on to another big match. My good friend "The Latin Lover" Al Madril did everyone a favor and removed Victor Jovica from active competition. For doing this he was challenged to a taped fist match by one Hercules Ayala. Mr. Ayala is here today and he is my guest today. Come right in Mr. Ayala. No need to worry.

 

(Ayala walks in and sits down, looking around suspiciously.)

 

Starr: Nothing to fear here. This is a place to talk, not fight. I find it interesting that you challenged Al to a taped fist match, Mr. Ayala. Are you unaware that the rules prohibit closed fists in a match?

 

Ayala: Funny, I've seen you use plenty of closed fists.

 

Starr: That's me. I break the rules. You, however, go around pretending to be an upright citizen.

 

Ayala: You do know that in a taped fist match closed fists are 100% legal, yes?

 

Starr: Given that I've seen you use a closed fist every match I've seen you in, maybe you look at all of your matches as such?

 

Ayala: I thought I was here to talk about my match with Al Madril, not be insulted by a coward.

 

Starr: I will not stand this rudeness! You are a guest on my show!

 

Ayala: You expect me to stay civil when all you do is insult me?

 

Al Madril runs up from behind and clobbers Ayala with the belt.

 

Starr: No, I expect you to look at me like an idiot while Al hits you. We'll be back with an extra special Chicky's Sports Shop next week fans. My guest is a surprise and I'm not telling!

 

Victor, Madril and Chicky Starr walk off the set with Madril and Starr joking back and forth.

 

Rickin: That is just...

 

Hugo: HAH! How did Ayala now see that coming?!? He might be just as much of a musclehead as Al and Chicky say he is!

 

Rickin: Chicky Starr and Al Madril are about as low as it gets. He has an interview show, not a platform to set up ambushes for his friends.

 

Hugo: You have to use what you have creatively!

 

Rickin: Hugo....

 

Hugo: Here come los Mercenarios!

 

Rickin: The crowd has certainly soured on them since their debut.

 

Hugo: Yes, but not to the point of throwing things at them constantly. It's almost like they are waiting to find out who they mean to hurt.

 

Rickin: I would agree, they have gotten some cheers due to their brawling style.

 

Hugo: So there are some fans who get it!

 

Rickin: Mr. X and Y are playing it safe, staying in their corner.

 

Hugo: Last team that tried to get the jump on los Mercenarios went face-first into everything at ringside within the first minute!

 

Rickin: There's the bell, here we go.

 

Mr. X & Y vs. los Mercenarios

 

Mercenarios brawl their way to controlling the match, ignoring the referee to use double teams whenever they feel like it. A clothesline by Mercenario 2 leaves Mr. Y near the ropes and he is pushed ot the outside. Rib breaker by Mercenario 1 sets up the running splash by 2 for the 3 count.

 

Los Mercenarios by pinfall in 5:21 after a rib breaker/splash combo

 

Rickin: Another win for los Mercenarios.

 

Hugo: They seem to be getting a lot of those!!

 

Rickin: They will run across somebody they can't bully.

 

Hugo: Big men fight like big men. It's only the rare few that are as agile as Abdullah Tamba or Bam Bam!

 

Rickin: I see your point Hugo. Up next we will hear from Barrabas. I may as well just hand him the microphone when he walks up.

 

Hugo: Would make things easier!

 

Rickin: And Rambo will be in singles action. We'll be right back.

 

(Commercial Break) 15:30 - 24:30

 

Rickin: We're back and Barrabas has joined us with all of his clients.

 

Rickin walks over and hands the microphone to Barrabas before sitting down. Barrabas nods and begins.

 

Barrabas: The big night is almost here. First things first. Castillo and Perez, I hope you're ready to face a team of MEN! Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher have you outclassed in every way. Bigger, more skilled and with a better manager! I was around for Miguel Perez's career. The man was never much of a thinker inside the ring or out. If he's the guy calling the shots it's already a win for us.

 

Barrabas pauses and smiles as the crowd starts booing.

 

Barrabas: And little Abdullah....you poor man. Bam Bam has you by 100 pounds. You may be able to run over most of these little guys Abdullah Tamba. But Bam Bam will be your BRICK WALL and stop you dead in your tracks. The best part of all of this is that you will get destroyed right in front of Abdullah the Butcher. Mark my words, the next time you see me these 3 men will be recognized as the most dangerous group in all of wrestling, not just the WWC!

 

Barrabas drops the mic on the ground and walks off with his three charges. Garbage pelts them until Bam Bam starts looking around angrily.

 

Hugo: I don't know, I thought Abdullah Tamba held his own against Bam Bam for the few minutes they faced each other!

 

Rickin: A few minutes isn't a match with not partners to tag out to. Tamba is at a 100 pound weight disadvantage, which has to be something he's not used to.

 

Hugo: Very true! He'll have to hope he is agile enough to outmanuever Bam Bam!

 

Rickin: That does seem to be his best hope. Here comes Rambo out to the ring to a good amount of cheers.

 

Hugo: He did impress in his debut. Very well-rounded wrestler!

 

Rickin: Yes, and he seems to have the fans on his side.

 

Hugo: That won't last! Unless he goes out of his way to ally himself with los Invaders and Carlitos Colon.

 

Rickin: That's not true. There have been Americans who have come in here and gotten cheered without any alliances.

 

Hugo: I suppose. Bruiser Brody has gotten plenty of cheers in his time!

 

Rickin: Yes he has. The referee has called for the bell.

 

Armandito Salgado vs. Rambo

 

Rambo uses a little more technical wrestling this time to augment the forearms, punches and kneelifts. He again hits the brainbuster DDT for the three count.

 

Rambo by pinfall in 4:28 with the brainbuster DDT

 

Rickin: That is a very dangerous move. I'm sure the other wrestlers have taken note of that even after only two matches.

 

Hugo: Yes, they tend to look for moves like that as far as what to avoid!

 

Rickin: Much like Carlitos Colon's figure four.

 

Hugo: Or Al Madril's piledriver!!

 

Rickin: I...I guess. Speaking of Al Madril, he'll be joining me after the break before taking on el Vikingo. We'll be right back after these messages.

 

(Commercial Break) 24:30 - 32:00

 

Rickin: Welcome back lucha libre fans. I am joined at this time by NWA WWC champion Al Madril.

 

(Breaking in) Madril: It just burns you up to say that doesn't it?

 

Rickin: Mr. Madril, your blatant attack on Hercules Ayala on Chicky's Sports Shop has to be regarded as a cheap shot. As confident as you seem about this match, your actions suggest otherwise.

 

Madril: Well, it looks like I'm in the principal's office again. I'm sorry Mr. Principal, I'll do it gooder next time.

 

Rickin: You didn't answer the question. Are you truly as confident about beating Hercules Ayala as you seem?

 

Madril: After ringin' his bell with this here? (Points at the belt.) You know I am! The guy's probably sittin' home icing the stitched up back of his head right now. How is he gonna deal with these two big bad sons a'bitches right here (holds up his hands)?

 

Rickin: As much as I enjoy our little chats, Mr. Madril, this hardly seems different than the last two times you've talked about this match.

 

Madril: Cuz nothin' has changed Mr. Prinicipal. Oh, and I know you love 'em. Why do you think we talk so much?

 

Rickin: Did he just admit that he schedules interviews to torture me?

 

Hugo: I think he did!

 

Rickin: The fans are telling him exactly how I feel on his way to the ring.

 

Hugo: I don't think he cares!

 

Rickin: There is that to be said of Al Madril. He is not a man who continually looks for the approval of others. Something that can't be said of Chicky Starr.

 

Hugo: People should love Chicky!

 

Rickin: According to you, they should love Al Madril as well.

 

Hugo: True!

 

Rickin: .....and we're ready for action as the bell rings.

 

El Vikingo vs. NWA WWC Carribean Champion Al Madril (Non-title)

 

Madril is all over Vikingo with punches and has to be pulled off of Vikingo by the ref from the corner multiple times. He casually gives into the referee's demands, only to go back to being more vicious each time. Madril drags Vikingo outside and busts him open on the ring post. back in the ring a piledriver puts a bloody Vikingo away.

 

Al Madril by pinfall in 4:46 after a piledriver

 

Hugo: There's Hercules Ayala! He's a little unsteady!

 

Rickin: But Carlitos Colon is right behind him and he seems to be talking him out of running to the ring.

 

Hugo: Al is inviting both of them!

 

Rickin: Cooler heads have prevailed. Ayala needs to let himself recover as mich as possible before tomorrow night.

 

Hugo: I wanted to see a brawl! But to be fair, I think we'd have seen los Infernales and Chicky Starr come out!

 

Rickin: That is very likely.We'll be right back with the NWA WWC Carribean tag Team champions Pirata Morgan and MS-1 in a non-title match. Don't touch that dial.

 

(Commercial Break) 32:00-40:00

 

Hugo: We're baaaack!

 

Rickin: Mr. W and Z are in the ring. Pirata Morgan and MS-1 seem to be trying to goad the fans into throwing more at them.

 

Hugo: Do you think there is a Mr. V and U?

 

Rickin: I tend not to worry about it.

 

Hugo: Really? Morgan and MS-1 look very confident as champions!

 

Rickin: They are a formidable team. They could have won those belts without the interference of Chicky Starr.

 

Hugo: Better to be sure! It was a major blow to the confidence of their opponents tomorrow night!!

 

Rickin: There is some truth to that. Chicky Starr is a master manipulator, but I think los Invaders and Carlitos Colon will beat the odds. Los Infernales have reached the ring and we're ready to go.

 

Mr. W & Z vs. NWA WWC Carribean Tag team Champions Pirata Morgan & MS-1 (Non-title)

 

Infernales use illegal tactics and brawling to dominate. Morgan slams Mr. Z down and holds him in place for a senton off the top rope by MS-1 for three.

 

Pirata Morgan & MS-1 by pinfall in 5:05 with a top rope senton

 

Hugo: Another big win for los Infernales! They can't lose tomorrow night!!

 

Rickin: They have the momentum going in, that's for sure.

 

Hugo: AND they have Chicky's grand plan!!

 

Rickin: A grand plan that can fall apart if he or one of los Infernales get pinned.

 

Hugo: Won't happen!

 

Rickin: We'll have to find out tomorrow night. Up next it will be my pleasure to talk to Carlitos Colon before his match. Don't mis it lucha libre fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 40:00-46:30

 

Carlitos Colon navigates a sea of joyous fans roaring and blowing their horns on his way to the desk.

 

Rickin: Your fans are as pleased to see you as ever.

 

Colon: I love seeing them as well Rickin. Every arena we travel to I make time to talk to the fans after the show.

 

Rickin: Things have been going badly for your side in this war, Carlitos. It seems like Chicky Starr has manipulated things in his favor.

 

Colon: He definitely has. But you know the one thing he can't do? Defeat me in a match. He found that out, so he hatched this big plan to get the belt taken away from me in other ways.

 

Rickin: I agree that it is a despicable way to go about winning a title, but it seems to be working.

 

Colon: I hate to agree with you, but yes. Things have gone his way leading into this very big match. I've known Invader 1 for years. Invader 2 and 3 for a little less, but all 3 have been incredible allies. No matter what the odds they will give 100% and come through when they need to.

 

Rickin: Something I have seen as well. It's a big reason these fans are behind the four of you like they are.

 

Colon: We know and we love these fans right back for it. We've been down and out, but thye haven't abandoned us. That's something we have that Chicky Starr can never take from us. It will keep us going when everything else looks lost! Tomorrow night we are going to send los Infernales packing and help Commissioner Pedro Castillo give Chicky Starr the haircut of his life! Nothing left!

 

The crowd roars it's approval for Colon and horns are blown in quick succession as Colon mimics shaving his own head on his way to the ring.

 

Rickin: Colon has this crowd riled up.

 

Hugo: They do love him!!

 

Rickin: He did make a good point. Chicky Starr may be able to scheme his way into a good situation going into a match, but the fans will always be there for los Invaders and Colon.

 

Hugo: Did los Invaders a lot of good when Chicky brought in his bat!

 

Rickin: That's fair, but I doubt there will be any element of surprise happening inside that big cage.

 

Hugo: Hmm, probably not. Unless..

 

Rickin: The area under the ring will be checked thoroughly before the match.

 

Hugo: Hmm..HEY! Ricky Santana and los Invaders are at the top of the aisle with chairs! Smart move!!

 

Rickin: Yes, los Infernales and Chicky Starr have made sure to keep los Invaders or Colon from gaining any momentum. This should keep interference away. Carlitos is in the ring and here we go with the main event.

 

Frank Conners vs. Carlitos Colon

 

Colon hits a big jumping headbutt within the first minute. He goes after the leg with elbow drops and puts on the figure four. Conners is quick to tap out and Colon helps the young American up as the crowd is roaring it's approval.

 

Carlitos Colon by submission in 3:18 with a figure four

 

Rickin: As expected there are Chicky Starr and company.

 

Hugo: Nowhere to go though!

 

Rickin: Chicky Starr is livid. He's giving los Invaders and the fans around the entrance a piece of his mind.

 

Hugo: Don't worry Chicky! Tomorrow night will still go great!!

 

Rickin: We're out of time fans. We'll see you in a week and show you everything you need to know about the Roberto Clemente Coliseum show, as well as give you the card for our Three Kings Day show in Pachin Vicens Coliseum in Ponce on January 6th.

[SirEdger]

Everything moving along smoothly. The Three Kings Day show should be great!

[GeneJackson95]

Great job establishing who the players are and getting over their characters these past few weeks.

 

Another great Chicky's Sport Shop, it's such a great tool for furthering angles! Madril is such a great heel and you doing an awesome job establishing that, looking forward to the Three Kings Day show

[spaldoni]

Excellent set up show. Chicky Starr really steals the show, man that guy can generate heat. I'm hoping for an epic Starr/Colon feud. I cracked up when Hugo says Santana wont get anywhere with that nonsense attitude, LOL. Rambo is looking impressive. Really looking forward to your big show.

WWC Roberto Clemente Coliseum Show

December 23rd, 1985

 

Mr. Z vs. Rambo

 

The masked American Rambo took Mr. Z apart before hitting the brainbuster DDT for the pin in 4:22. He was cheered post-match.

 

 

Mr. X & Y vs. Los Mercenarios

 

Los Mercenarios were their usual brawling selves in an easy victory. A big splash from Mercenario 2 ended the match at 5:31.

 

 

Ricky Santana vs. Dutch Mantell

Santana again put up a spirited fight, but looked like he was on his way to another loss. Los Mercenarios stormed the ring and sent Santana out before working Dutch over. They put a lot of focus on Dutch's left arm, eventually using the narrow end of a chair on the shoulder. Ricky Santana showed fire in making several attempts to run them off.

 

 

Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez vs. Jonathan Boyd & the Crusher w/Barrabas

 

Castillo and Perez had the better of things early, with Barrabas distracting Perez to give his team the advantage. A tag to Castillo looked like it would net the Puerto Rican team the win, but Barrabas tripped Castillo up running the ropes to set up a three point clothesline by Boyd for the three count at 11:54.

 

 

Abdullah Tamba vs. Bam Bam w/Barrabas

 

Tamba looked good early, but the size difference caught up with him as the match progressed. He nearly took Bam bam off his feet with a dropkick, but the big man went to the outside over the ropes instead. Tamba hit his signature tope, btu Bam Bam was able to make it back to the ring in time. Bam Bam had seemingly had enough and started using big man spots to run over Tamba, setting up the slingshot splash. Tamba barely kicked out, but the top rope splash from Bam Bam put him away at 7:08. Abdullah the Butcher was seen watching intently from the entrance.

 

 

Hercules Ayala vs. NWA WWC Carribean Champion Al Madril in a Taped Fist Match for the belt

 

Madril was able to take early advantage of the injury (back of the head/neck) he had inflicted on Ayala early. Ayala with a heavy-fisted comeback, Madril covering up in the corner. Ayala peppers Madril with jabs to no effect until a big body blow gives him an opening for some big shots. Madril looks to be fading when Chicky Starr comes out and distracts Ayala. Starr and Madril are pelted with garbage. Madril nails Ayala in the back of the head, but can't get the piledriver to go. A few more axehandles by Madril and he hits the piledriver for the win at 13:25. Colon and the Invaders are out to stop any post-match attacks by Madril and Starr. The crowd is pelting Madril and Starr with garbage on their way out, Madril is pointing at the belt and grinning.

 

 

Bruiser Brody vs. Abdullah the Butcher

 

Exactly what you would expect, a straight up brawl that went all around ringside with both men bleeding within 2 minutes. No wrestling moves were attempted outside of the always there Abby headlock to disguise the fork. Abby's fork, a few chairs, the railing, the ring bell and even one of the security guard's batons came into play. The match ended in a double countout at 9:48. Barrabas and Bam Bam are seen watching this from the entrance, even distracting Abdullah at one point.

 

 

Los Infernales & Chicky Starr vs. Los Invaders & Carlitos Colon

 

There is about 6 feet between the cage and ringside. All of the available space is used as the match is a wild, bloody brawl. MS-1 and Invader 3 both hit topes that drive Invader 1 and Pirata Morgan into the cage (sequentially for both.) Invader 1, Starr and Colon bleed buckets. Things look dark for Colon & co. when Satanico gets his finishing hold on Invader 2. Invader 1 makes the save with a big running double throat chop as Invader 2 holds out. Colon gets the figure 4 on Starr, but Satanico is there to stop that early. Invader 3 and Invader 1 isolate Pirata Morgan in the ring after Starr is repeatedly rammed into the cage and out on the dirt. They hit a double backdrop and Invader 3 runs the ropes. Invader 1 backdrops 3 into a somersault senton onto a prone Morgan for the win at 22:37.

 

Post-match Chicky Starr fights going to the chair for his haircut. Al Madril runs out and Chicky gets closer to the entrance before Ricky Santana stops him. The brawl is going back and forth when Rambo comes out and helps Santana with Starr. Then Rambo turns and decks Santana with a few big forearms before using his big running kneelift. Starr is able to escape as the crowd pelts him and Rambo with garbage. Los Infernales make their escape as well, los Invaders and Colon more interested in regrouping than continuing the fight now that Starr is gone.

[spaldoni]

This card had everything and more. So many great brawls. Wow didn't see that turn by Rambo coming. LOL, Chicky manages to escape. Liked the taped fist match and Madril had to earn that one. Santana looks to be a star on the rise.

[SirEdger]

Solid show at the Roberto Clemente Stadium. Although I'm curious about this masked American Rambo as I'm not familiar with him.

[dawho5]

That will be taken care of next week.

Original airdate December 29th, 1985

 

(I got behind over Christmas weekend and needed to catch up. Good thing I have a long weekend.)

 

(Originally airing in Spanish on WAPA Channel 4 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This broadcast is translated to English where applicable.)

The opening montage featuring highlights of Carlos Colon, Chicky Starr, Invader 1, Invader 2, Invader 3, Abdullah the Butcher, Hercules Ayala and Dutch Mantell plays. Carlos Colon doing a cartwheel and coming up fists at the ready leads to the WWC logo as the music ends.

 

NWA and Capitol Sports Presenta
Los Campeones De La Lucha Libre
Con Tus Luchadores Favoritos De Fama Mundial

 

Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano.

 

Rickin: Hello lucha libre fans and welcome to another hour of World Wrestling Council action. Alongside me tonight, as always, is my friend and colleague Hugo Savinovich.

 

Hugo: Thanks Rickin! We've got a great show tonight!!

 

Rickin: Last Saturday we had a big show in Roberto Clemente Coliseum. There is some major fallout from that card and we'll do what we can to get you up to date.

 

Hugo: So much to talk about!!

 

Rickin: We will also be announcing several of the matches for our show on Three Kings Day. We have great wrestling action as well. Gama Singh will be making his return to Puerto Rico. Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez will also have a match tonight.

 

Hugo: They need to regain some momentum after their loss on December 23rd!

 

Rickin: That match was not won under the best of circumstances, but as you have said in the past the referee counted to three. Invader 1 will be in action as well. Super Medico 1 will be in singles action. Los Mercenarios will be in a tag team match.

 

Hugo: They made quite an impression in Roberto Clemente Coliseum! We won't be seeing Dutch Mantell for a while!

 

Rickin: I wonder who Dutch made angry enough to send los Mercenarios after him. We'll be showing you some footage from NWA Starrcade involving Jonathan Boyd, the Crusher and Bam Bam in a NWA World Six Man title match.

 

Hugo: Who knew Bam Bam would have a chance at gold THIS soon?!?

 

Rickin: We'll be talking with Ricky Santana. Chicky Starr has promised us a surprise in his Sports Shop.

 

Hugo: I know he'll deliver!

 

Rickin: I have reason to believe he may not. I will be talking with los Invaders. Los Mercenarios will be talking to us as well.

 

Hugo: Maybe they will tell us who put out that bounty on Mantell!!

 

Rickin: That seems unlikely. We will also have recorded comments from Barrabas.

 

Hugo: Think he'll have some gold to talk about?!?

 

Rickin: We'll have to wait and see. Tonight's first match is ready to start. The crowd is cheering for Gama Singh on his way to the ring.

 

Hugo: He has gotten more popular!

 

Rickin: Yes, he has allied himself with los Invaders and Carlitos Colon in the recent past and the crowd has warmed up to him.

 

Hugo: Why does the crowd only warm up to wrestlers who have become friends with Colon?!?

 

Rickin: You and I are both very aware that Carlitos Colon is easily the most popular wrestler in Puerto Rico. You have to understand that the crowd will support his friends.

 

Hugo: I do, doesn't make it right!

 

Rickin: We all have our perspectives on that Hugo. We're ready to start the match.

 

Armandito Salgado vs. Gama Singh

 

Singh is all over Salgado with punches and brawling tactics. Salgado makes a short comeback, but Singh hits a few slams and locks in the camel clutch for the submission.

 

Gama Singh by submission in 4:48 with a camel clutch

 

Rickin: Big win for Gama Singh in his return to the WWC.

 

Hugo: He could be very successful under the right management!

 

Rickin: I know who you're talking about and I disagree. Up next we'll be talking to Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez before their match. We'll be right back.

 

(Commercial Break ) 0-8:00

 

Rickin: Welcome back lucha libre fans. We now take you to an interview taped before the show in the locker room.

 

Cut to Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez standing in front of a row of lockers with Miguel Perez standing next to Rickin Sanchez.

 

Rickin: I'm here with Miguel Perez, manager for Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez. Your young men lost a close match las Saturday due to the interference of Barrabas. How have they been taking that loss.

 

Perez: At first they were very disappointed, and I understand that. They had Boyd and the Crusher in a position where they could have won it. But, like I told them, Barrabas was telling everyone who would listen that these boys didn't stand a chance against Boyd and the Crusher. I'd say they have proven they more than stand a chance.

 

Rickin: I would as well, and the way the crowd was reacting told me the fans are definitely getting behind these two young men.

 

Perez: I noticed that too, Rickin. It's getting close to the time where these twpo young men make their own way instead of letting old men like me live vicariously through them.

 

Rickin: I'm sure neither Huracan Castillo or your son feel that way.

 

Perez: They are getting more and more independent, and that's something I have been trying to encourage Rickin. My way isn't necessarily their way and I'm looking forward to becoming just another fan that respects and enjoys seeing these two in the ring. Just a lot more invested and proud.

 

Rickin: Kind words Miguel. Huracan Castillo Jr. the two of you have some work ahead of you if you want another chance at Boyd and the Crusher. At least if I know Barrabas half as well as I think I do.

 

Castillo: Mr. Perez has been telling us that, yeah. Barrabas is going to be scared that we will embarrass his men and I don't blame him. For a guy who is supposed to be a big deal, the Crusher really isn't that tough.

 

Rickin: Your father seems to think the two of you are ready for bigger things, Miguelito. Perhaps even your own direction away from him as your manager. Your thoughts on that?

 

Miguelito: Huracan and I have been coming together as a team recently. I can see he's getting a lot more confident both in the ring and while we train. I'm not going to say that I'm in a hurry to see my father leave. It's been a great experience working with him as closely as I have.

 

Rickin: You're doing a great job keeping these young men on the right path Miguel.

 

Perez: I hardly have to do anything anymore Rickin. I have talked to commissioner Pedro Castillo that he is as proud as I am of these two.

 

Rickin: It looks like Miguel Perez has his young team back on track after a tough loss. Now back to the arena.

 

Cut back to the arena and a shot of the desk.

 

Hugo: I wonder how long that happy family stays happy!

 

Rickin: I'd say they have a pretty strong bond Hugo. The fans are still supporting Castillo and both Perez's on their way to the ring.

 

Hugo: And they can't seem to focus on the match in front of them because of it!

 

Rickin: Interacting with the fans on the way to the ring is not a lack of focus Hugo. If that was all they did once the match started I would agree with you.

 

Hugo: Maybe if they had put less energy into making the fans happy at Roberto Clemente Coliseum they would have won!

 

Rickin: I'm pretty sure Barrabas tripping Castillo up late in the match is what kept them from victory. There is the bell and here we go.

 

Mr. Y & Z vs. Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez

 

Castillo and Perez again use their quick teamwork to control the match. Perez hits a big powerslam late. He pulls Mr. Y up and holds his arms as Castillo comes off the top with a missile dropkick. Castillo covers for the three. Los Mercenarios are seen in the entrance during the match.

 

Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez by pinfall in 5:12 with an assisted missile dropkick

 

Hugo: That's a good way to rebound from a loss!

 

Rickin: It certainly is. Miguel is congratulating his two charges and both are smiling. The fans are celebrating as well.

 

Hugo: How many losses to Boyd and the Crusher before the fans stop caring?

 

Rickin: (long pause) We'll be back with an announcement about January 6th and Chicky Starr's Sports Shop. Super Medico 1 will have a singles match as well.

 

Hugo: What did I say?!?

 

Rickin: It's nothing Hugo. It's just some of the things that come out of your mouth...we'll be right back fans. Don't go anywhere.

 

(Commerical Break) 8:00-17:00

 

Hugo: Weeee're Baaaack!!

 

Rickin: And Hugo's favorite part of the show is here.

 

Hugo: Bam Bam is HERE?!?

 

Rickin: I guess now his second favorite part.

 

Hugo: OH! Chicky's Sports Shop time!! Let's go visit!!

 

The intro for the Sports Shop plays and we come to Chicky walking into the Shop with the masked man Rambo and Victor. Victor hands both microphones and takes his familiar arms across his chest pose in the background.

 

Chicky: Well, well, it seems we lost our match on December 23rd, through no fault of my own, AND I still have my hair. I bet that just makes commissioner Pedro Castillo so happy!

 

Rambo chuckles as Chicky grins.

 

Chicky: And the man I have to thank for that is sitting right next to me. I told all of you that I have a surprise this week and here it is!

Rambo unmasks to reveal an American with curly blond hair and a mustache.

 

Chicky: The man you know as Rambo is in fact my cousin, Rambo Ron Starr. Did anyone really think I didn't have a plan? I knew there was a chance that los Invaders and Carlitos Colon (Chicky spits) might win. And there is a silver lining to all of this. You want to know what it is?

Rambo Ron Starr gets an inquisitive look on his face.

 

Chicky: The suspense is killing you isn't it? We put one over on EVERYONE! My cousin, my most faithful ally was going to be your new favorite in the WWC. Such a nice American who plays by the rules. HAH! (Switching to English.) Ron, how does it feel to be able to cut loose and use everything in your matches now?

 

Ron: You have no idea Chicky. Playing nice for these fans made me sick.

 

Chicky: Was it worth it?

 

Ron: Oh you shoulda seen the look on Santana's face! That alone was worth it. The Invaders, who by the way tried to recruit me, were very unhappy.

 

Chicky: Thank you for that. When you told me they tried to recruit you it made my week! (Back to Spanish): I'm sure this will make me even more popular with Carlitos Colon's fan club. Even though los Infenrales were failures in the end, I did learn one thing. All three of them, Satanico most of all, LOVED that all of you idiots hated him. They always tried to tell me how that could fuel a man just as much as the cheers. Since it seems you idiots don't see that I am the true hero here, maybe it's time I started thinking like that!

Chicky pauses to settle down.

 

Chicky: I have also been busy since last Saturday. Carlitos Colon is getting too comfortable with the NWA WWC Universal Championship. I have hired Bruiser Brody and Abdullah the Butcher to make sure he is relieved of it. I know these men are mortal enemies, but if you pay them enough money and keep them apart it can work. Far, far apart. It seems as if Abdullah has a major distraction of late, one I will be assisting him in removing. While I am ridding the WWC of Barrabas' new pretender, Bruiser Brody will have me in his corner when he takes the belt away from Carlitos Colon on Three Kings Day.

Chicky again pauses, a big grin on his face.

 

Chicky: On Three Kings Day the fans will see Al Madril, Rambo Ron Starr and myself take on los Invaders. Invader 1 and his disciples are probably riding high off of their big win in Roberto Clemente Coliseum. It will just make it all the sweeter when we cut them down to size on January 6th. (Switching to English.) Hey Ronnie, how do you feel about beating up the Invaders on the 6th?

 

Ron: Sounds like a great time to me. We'll make sure to hurt Invader 1 after.

 

Chicky: I like the way you think Ronnie! (Back to Spanish.) And just so you fans know that Don Pedro castillo is doing his job, you should know that I have recieved legal dosuments through my lawlyer from the WWC demanding that I allow my hair to be cut. I will make a solemn promise that on January 6th you will see me without a hair on my head. I have been notified that if I do not have my hair cut by this date, I will be suspended indefinitely. So you can trust me when I say this. I know that los Invaders, Colon, the fans and commissioner Pedro Castillo are enjoying this, but I can promise you one other thing. In the end, you won't!

Chicky stalks off-set with Ron in his ear and Victor following.

 

Hugo: Hah! Did you have ANY idea that Rambo was Chicky's cousin?!?

 

Rickin: Did you?

 

Hugo: Of course, I talk to Chicky all the time!

 

Rickin: So you had to be told?

 

Hugo: Well, I...

 

Rickin: We had an announcement of our own, but it seems like Chicky Starr has seen fit to beat us to the punch. Our main event on January 6th will be Bruiser Brody with Chicky Starr in his corner against Carlitos Colon for the NWA WWC Universal title. And Chicky also announced the six man tag we were going to tell you about later.

 

Hugo: He's got a stake in both matches! Can't say he is out of line!!

 

Rickin: I suppose not. I should have known Chicky would mention that match now that I think about it. Super Medico 1 is on his way out to the ring now.

 

Hugo: The fans are a little slow to react!

 

Rickin: I would guess they are still a little angry after that Sports Shop. Super Medico is bringing them around though.

 

Hugo: Why would anyone be angry at Chicky?!?

 

Rickin: One day you might understand Hugo. The referee calls for the bell and it's time for action.

 

El Vikingo vs. Super Medico 1

 

Medico uses his great punches to control the match early. A suplex by medico sets up a running crossbody for the win.

 

Super Medico 1 by pinfall in 4:37 with a running crossbody.

 

Rickin: Super Medico 1 wins the match and keeps his momentum going. I've heard rumblings of a tournament to crown new NWA Carribean Tag Team champions after the Three Kings Day show.

 

Hugo: Me too! You think Ron & Chicky Starr will be in that tournament?!?

 

Rickin: As much as I would like to say no, I'm pretty sure we will see them. Up next we will have an interview with los Mercenarios before their tag team match.

 

(Commercial Break) 17:00-28:30
Rickin: Hugo Savinovich conducted an interview with los Mercenarios earlier today.

 

Cut to a different locker room, but much the same idea. Los Mercenarios are standing with Hugo Savinovich.

 

Hugo: I'm here with los Mercenarios, who have successfully achieved their first goal in the WWC! I'm sure Dutch Mantell will be feeling the effects of that attack for months!

 

Mercenario 1: That's the idea. We got paid to hurt the man and that's what we did. Dutch has never been well-liked and I can say I don't like him. So I'll admit to enjoying it more than a little.

 

Hugo: You're still here, so that must mean you have more work to do. Have you been contacted about the upcoming tournament for the WWC Carribean Tag Team championships?

 

Mercenario 1: We have and will be taking part in the tournament.

 

Hugo: Not for gold that goes around the waist though!

 

Mercenario 1: Smart man. Let's just say it's going to be well worth it for us.

 

Hugo: Do you worry that your actions will make you a target for other wrestlers?

 

Mercenario: We know it will. Come after us if you like. We can take care of ourselves.

 

Hugo: Anyone who has watched in recent weeks knows that!! Pay no attention to those fans who like to boo and throw things!

 

Mercenario 1: We never did. Not that many of them will mourn Dutch Mantell's leaving for a while.

 

Hugo: Do you worry that Dutch will come back looking for vengeance?

 

Mercenario 1: He probably will. Better bring friends, Dutch Mantell, or just keep your bags packed and the doctor's office on notice.

 

Hugo: Los Mercenarios are feeling very confident after their success in Roberto Clemente Coliseum.

 

Cut back to the arena.

 

Rickin: Well done Hugo. There are still mixed boos and cheers for los Mercenarios as they walk out.

 

Hugo: Dutch Mantell was not well-liked. Maybe these fans will appreciate him more when he comes back!!

 

Rickin: They might. I imagine it depends on his attitude and how he handles himself.

 

Hugo: You said yourself that he was deserving of respect!

 

Rickin: I did and I believe that. Whether or not these fans see it that way is a different thing entirely. Los Mercenarios are attacking los Tejanos before the match starts.

 

Los Tejanos vs. Los Mercenarios

 

Mercenarios are their usual brawling selves, even more confident and aggressive. They get the win with the rib breaker by Mercenario 1 setting up the splash by Mercenario 2.

 

Los Mercenarios by pinfall in 4:09 with a rib breaker/splash combo

 

Hugo: Dominant performance by los Mercenarios!

 

Rickin: They are looking very confident.

 

Hugo: As they should!

 

Rickin: They have been successful in their own way so far. We'll be back with an interview with los Invaders before Invader 1's match. Don't touch that dial fans.

 

(Commercial Break) 28:30-36:00

 

Rickin: We're back and we have an interview from earlier today with los Invaders.

 

Cut to the same locker room as Castillo/Perez with all three Invaders and Rickin.

 

Rickin: You three and Carlitos Colon defeated los Infernales and Chicky Starr last Saturday. Which means los Infernales are no longer wrestling in the WWC. After they took the tag titles from you and Invader 2, that has to be a great feeling Invader 1.

 

Invader 1: It definitely is. They were tough opponents, and I really wanted to respect them. Some would say it was that they allied with Chicky Starr. I would say they were natural allies. Chicky and los Infernales are all opportunists. They take shortcuts. I think we could have had great matches with them if they would have wrestled us man-to-man. But we all know that wasn't going to happen and they are gone because of it.

 

Rickin: Chicky Starr managed to avoid his haircut after the match.

 

Invader 1: With some unexpected help. I'm begging commissioner Pedro Castillo to let me give him that haircut personally.

 

Rickin: Invader 2, you must have heard about the upcoming tournament to crown new NWA WWC Carribean Tag champions. I can only guess that you and Invader 1 will be taking part.

 

Invader 2: We will. I can only hope we run into Chicky Starr and Rambo in the tournament. Los Infernales may have taken the belts from us, but Chicky Starr is the reason why. We have yet to pay that back. Knocking Chicky out of contention for the tag belts sounds like great payback to me.

 

Rickin: Invader 3, you personally won the match with assistance from Invader 1. And you got to avenge the loss your comrades suffered at the hands of Pirata Morgan. I would guess you're pretty happy with that.

 

Invader 3: Happy doesn't begin to cover it. We came through for Carlitos Colon and the fans. Who got the actual victory is not near as big as that. But you know I loved being able to put the finishing touches on los Infernales by pinning Morgan.

 

Rickin: One of the matches we've heard about from the Three Kings Day show involves the three of you against Al Madril, Rambo and Chicky Starr.

 

Invader 1: It's a chance to keep things moving in the right direction and get an advantage going into this tournament. We're coming in really good, but we have to watch for Chicky Starr's...inventive tactics.

 

Rickin: He does seem to have cards up his sleeve.

 

Invader 1: Always. We're going to be ready for anything. And I am again going to beg. (Invader 1 gets on his knees.) Please let me cut Chicky's hair. I know you were looking forward to it, commissioner Castillo. But I want nothing more than to see Chicky's face as I cut his hair.

 

Rickin: It seems like los Invaders are ready for their match on January 6th.

 

Cut back to the arena.

 

Hugo: Invader 1 REALLY wants to cut Chicky's hair!

 

Rickin: They have a bitter history and I doubt it will ever be fully reconciled. Invader 1 gets a huge reaction from the crowd.

 

Hugo: Invader 1 should just apologize for betraying Chicky!!

 

Rickin: I hardly think he needs to apologize for anything. He tried to help Chicky.

 

Hugo: By keeping him out of big matches?!? Making sure Chicky Starr didn't surpass Invader 1, his teacher?!?

 

Rickin: I am starting to see where you and Chicky Starr formed your friendship. Invader 1 has reached the ring and here we go.

 

Isaac Rosario vs. Invader 1

 

Invader 1 with punches and chops early on. Invader hits a clothesline and sends Rosario back to the ropes. Rosario gets caught in a sleeper and taps out quickly.

 

Invader 1 by submission in 4:22 with a sleeper

 

Rickin: The crowd is going crazy for the win by Invader 1. Here comes Chicky Starr and the brawl is on.

 

Hugo: Invader's head goes into the post! He's busted open!

 

Rickin: He blocks another attempt, now Chicky's head is rammed into the post. Invader grabs Chicky by the hair, makes a cutting gesture and rams his head into the post three more times.

 

Hugo: Chicky is a mess! Invader gets caught with a low blow!

 

Rickin: Chicky is retreating to the locker room. His face is covered in blood and Invader 1 isn't much better off.

 

Hugo: Wise move by Chicky! He's losing a lot of blood and Invader 1 is getting fired up!

 

Rickin: Wise move indeed. We'll be back with footage from the NWA 6-Man Tag Team title match and a recorded interview from Barrabas and his charges.

 

(Commercial Break) 36:00-46:00

 

Hugo: NOW we get to find out if Boyd, the Crusher and BAM BAM won the NWA 6 man tag belts!! That's the ENTIRE NWA 6-man tag belts!!!

 

Rickin: Yes that is exactly what we are talking about Hugo. This is a very big deal to even get this match. Fans also be sure to take note of the blond Canadian wrestler on the opposing team. You'll be seeing more of him very soon. Let's roll the footage.

 

Cut up footage of the match is shown. Bam Bam knocks over all 3 Harts. Boyd and the Crusher are controlling the match until Owen Hart (the Canadian mentioned) makes them miss. Cut to Owen valiantly trying to take down Bam Bam but getting slammed and hit with a diving headbutt for a three count.

 

Hugo: CHAMPS!! And the man who made it happen is Bam Bam!!

 

Rickin: On behalf of the World Wrestling Council I would like to congratulate Barrabas, Jonathan Boyd, the Crusher and Bam Bam on their achievement. It is a great honor to have the NWA 6-Man Championship in the WWC. We may see less of Barrabas and his charges in the near future as they are off defending their belts across the NWA.

 

Hugo: Nooooo! But it's HUGE for them! NWA belts are such a rare thing to ever have. I hope Boyd, the Crusher and Bam Bam know what kind of opportunity they have been given!! It was one of my dreams as a wrestler, something every wrestler dreams about!

 

Rickin: We have a taped interview with Barrabas and his charges from somewhere in the United States.

 

Cut to a locker room, again different colors but a locker room. Barrabas, Boyd, the Crusher and Bam Bam are celebrating with champagne.

 

Barrabas: The fans of the WWC have always treated me like nothing! They have thrown things and booed! Guess what, I have done something that your beloved Carlitos Colon has NEVER done! I have brought a NWA title home to Puerto Rico! And here's the thing that's gonna make you hate me even more.

 

Barrabas pauses and grins.

 

Barrabas: I will NOT have these men defend the NWA 6-Man titles in Puerto Rico. I don't care if the WWC doesn't like it. I will not give the people anything! And when my men are wrestling, the fans will NOT throw garbage and sully these beautiful belts!

Barrabas calls in his charges.

 

Barrabas: I've been called cheap in the past, but these men deserve something big for this! Let's take some time to appreciate the men who won these belts! Jonathan Boyd, energetic, hard-hitting, won't back down from anyone! The Crusher, six foot three 280 pounds of mean! The BIG man, Bam Bam!! He may be 370 pounds, but he's as agile as any 230 pounder! The man who put us over the top!

 

Barrabas, Boyd and the Crusher pour champagne all over Bam Bam, who seems unaware of how to take it.

 

Cut back to the arena.

 

Rickin: Well, there you have it. Barrabas has vowed that his charges will never defend their NWA 6-Man titles in the WWC.

 

Hugo: Why should they?!? And the fans better respect those belts and not throw their garbage!!

 

Rickin: Somehow I doubt that will be the case. We have two more matches for the card on Three Kings Day. We will be seeing the debut of a young wrestler named TNT and managed by el Profe.

 

Hugo: El Profe? He's a professor of wrestling?

 

Rickin: Apparently, yes. We will also be seeing Super Medico 1 against Gama Singh.

 

Hugo: I'm sure he doesn't know as much about wrestling as me!

 

Rickin: Did you even hear the rest of what i said?

 

Hugo: Or do you think he might?

 

Rickin: We're out of time lucha libre fans. We'll see you next week with more news about the Three Kings Day show. Tickets are going fast, don't wait.
