SirEdger Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Another solid show with the 2nd half of the card being so goooood. For some reason, I picture Doug Furnas & Rick Martel being such a solid mentor/pupil tag team. Worth considering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Lot's of great stuff going on in the AWA! Cactus Jack is really coming on strong and not backing down from Piper's Pit. I think Death Sentence are the perfect team for Sullivan. Furnas gets some payback on Sullivan in Winnipeg. I cant wait for Blackwell and Nord to go at it. Razor Boys looking razor sharp as champs. Another draw for Adams. He might not be winning gold but he sure is staying in contention. That Steamboat/Bock match would of gave me my money's worth. I don't think I would ever get bored watching these guys put on classic after classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 AWA show from the Saddledome, Calgary, April 26th Too Cold Scorpio vs. Leo Burke Just back from a show in Japan, Scorpio dazzled the crowd when he executed a spectacular Top Rope Somersault Legdrop to beat Burke Phil Lafon vs. Buddy Rose The Playboy won with the Inside Out Backbreaker Jake Roberts vs. Buzz Sawyer Roberts executed the DDT for the victory Tom Zenk vs. Doug Somers Somers was going for the loaded elbow pad shot but ended up eating a Superkick to give the win to Zenk Dan Spivey & Mike Rotundo vs. Roddy Piper & Bob Orton Rotundo hit the Varsity Rush on Orton and went for the cover, but Piper broke up the pin. When the ref tried to send Piper back to his corner, Piper hit the Piledriver on the ref. This led to a DQ win for the Varsity Club team AWA Southern Title Match : Pat Tanaka © vs. Brian Pillman Tanaka was coming off a bruising six man tag match in Winnipeg in which he had been put through the wringer. Pillman, in turn, was just returning from a very intense elimination match. In spite of the wear and tear they were both bringing into the match, both men put on a technical gem of a match, with lots of fast exchanges and high flying. The end came when Tanaka ducked under a clothesline from Pillman, then came back off the ropes with a turning leaping forearm smash to successfully defend his title. The fans gave both men a standing ovation after the match. AWA Southern Tag Team Title Match : Black Irish © vs. The Youngbloods The Youngbloods are also returning from Japan , where they had scored some very impressive victories over tough competition. Blackwell and Wellington really gave the champs a run for their money, in what many in the crowd said was their best match in the AWA. Blackwell even caught Finlay with the flash Bicycle Kick, but in falling back the Irishman was able to tag out to Cameron, who flattened Blackwell with a massive leaping clothesline to score the victory. The fans still gave a round of applause to the Youngbloods afterwards AWA Canadian Title 2/3 Falls Match : Ron Garvin © vs. Chris Adams 1st Fall : Garvin caught Adams in a sunset flip out of the corner for the pinfall 2nd Fall : Adams pinned Garvin with a belly to back suplex 3rd Fall : Both men went to a 45 minute time limit draw . Adams looked like he was about to lose his marbles after yet another time limit draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Side note : I screwed up the posting of my previous card, giving it the wrong venue. I have now corrected that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Love the ending to the Southern Tag Team Title Match. Great veteran ring awareness from Finlay. Nice to see the young guys coming back fired up and confident after doing well in Japan. The Chris Adams time limit draw storyline is very entertaining and original.

rainmakerrtv Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Love the ending to the Southern Tag Team Title Match. Great veteran ring awareness from Finlay. . The fun thing is that Finlay, at this point, is only 28, and yet is already a 14 year veteran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 At some point, the tide will turn for Chris Adams. I like where this is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I also like this Chris Adams storyline. I know the Gino died I wasn't sure what I could do with him and you have taken him to a new level. That is awesome and the best part is that everyone wants to see what is going to happen next. When it happens it will be something but the story after the climax is going to be really special. I am really hoping that Spiveymania can find its way back to the top at some point but Piper isn't having that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Wow, Piper piledriving the Ref is insane! Loved the exciting match between Tanaka and Pillman. Zenk gets another strong singles win over Sommers. Man, Zenk is tearing it up in the singles. That finishing move by Cameron must of been an awesome spectacle. LOL, Adams with yet another draw. I can see why frustration is kicking in, but hey he's still getting title matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 You always find a way to get me hooked and this Chris Adams thing has my mind working overtime to see where you are going. Great shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dragon Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 This is a comment more from a couple shows ago, but the Snakepit/Piper's Pit feud seemingly establishing Cactus Jack as being a real danger to the likes of Piper and Orton is arguably my favorite thing going on right now. Jake Roberts as a mentor and Roddy Piper as a rival is such an amazing place for Cactus Jack in 86, and I'm sad this didn't actually happen. Overall though, everything you are doing right now works for me. Sullivan feels smart now, but he keeps making more and more enemies and I don't think that's gonna well for him.

rainmakerrtv Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 AWA show from the Canada Games Sportsplex, Lethbridge, Alberta, April 27th Fit Finlay vs. Mando Guerrero Finlay won by blocking a German suplex and countering with his own German suplex The Youngbloods vs. British Steel Blackman knocked out Smiley with the “out of nowhere” bicycle kick Brian Pillman vs. Leo Burke Pillman got the victory with a top rope missile dropkick Greg Gagne vs. Larry Cameron Camerson scored the pinfall after a running power slam Roddy Piper vs. Bill Dundee Dundee caught piper with a running cross body press, but Piper countered with a rollover with a fistful of trunks to get the tainted pinfall Doug Furnas & The Can-Am Express vs. Mike Rotundo & Death Sentence Although Rotundo and his partners were clearly not on the same page for most of this match, the Varsity Club were victorious when the members of Death Sentence hit the Execution on Lafon Rocky Mountain Thunder vs. Buddy Rose & Doug Somers RMT executed the Rocky Mountain Launcher on Somers and came away with the win Shane Douglas vs. Bob Orton Douglas put up a valiant fight but went down to a lariat, followed by the Superplex AWA World Tag Team Title Match : The Razor Boys © vs. The British Bullies Diamond hit the flying back body press on Jones to defend their titles AWA American Title Match : Dan Spivey © vs. Buzz Sawyer Sawyer went all out against Spivey but still went down to the powers of Spiveymania and the Spivey Bomber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Brilliant idea to have Finlay & Mando open the card in Lethbridge. Exactly the kind of hardhitting action needed to kick you off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Pillman racking up the wins. The Piper finishes are so heel perfect for him. RMT scores their biggest win to date over the former champs. Death Sentence is on a real win streak. I think they're becoming serious contenders. I loved Orton's finishing sequence. SpiveyMania continues to run wild! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawho5 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'm way behind on this, but the way you use your roster and mix in the young guys with the veterans is always great to see. I will echo the love for the team of Martel and Furnas. There is a lot for Martel to teach Furnas because they are pretty similar. Pillman having success always warms my heart. I like seeing Sullivan finally get the Varsity club (mostly) his way. Piper vs. Dundee would be a match I always wanted to see. Vader under the tutelage of Sarge is definitely a great pairing too.

kevinmcfl Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 What I noticed here was that your tag team division is white hot! So many teams with some possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 So many great cards recently...AWA may have the most balanced roster in the game...a great mix of brawlers, high flyers, technical wrestlers, and muscle men. Love seeing Spivey living up to his potential here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
