kevinmcfl Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Really enjoyed the last two cards. Dibiase vs Taylor would be a main event anywhere in the country. I feel Dibiase is ready for great things! As was said earlier, I love your Mid-Card guys and they really have my attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 It could be cool to see Sweet Brown Sugar and Hot Property working together more. Loved the finish to Race vs Snuka! Sick bump at the end there. Duggan looking very strong overcoming the numbers game to pin Robinson clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I agree with the sentiment on Duggan... he is without a doubt one of the top dogs in the NWA right now. I also like the Snuka vs Race contest. MACW is filling in spots with some of the fresh up and coming stars to continue to build the NWA.

The fans boo as Mulligan heads out Mulligan: Snuka! I know you're nothing but a coward but if you have just a shred of guts then you will put that National Title up in our Bull rope match.

Schiavone: Ok fans, there you have it, straight from the challenger, Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Now we're going to end the show as we hear from the US Champ, the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. I believe it's from one of his favorite restaurants. Dibiase is sitting in an upper scale restaurant. He puts down the menu and looks at the camera. Dibiase: Always nice to eat a good meal around civilized people. They wouldn't let somebody like Duggan even walk through the front door here. And as you peons out there can see, this environment is a whole lot better than that outdated place, Mid Atlantic calls a studio. (Laughs) Now Duggan, wealth is what it's all about and my wealth is deeper than dollars because I'm rich in ring ability and well off in wrestling skills. (Laughs again) Duggan, a blue collar moron like you will never get the bottom line and that bottom line is money is everything and this title is my biggest prize! This title proves why the Crockett's paid me the big bucks! And there's no way a moron like you will ever hold this prestigious title! The show ends with Dibiase laughing then picking up his menu.

gordi Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 ...snack on danger and dine on death was my favourite pro wrestling quote of the 1980s. I'm happy to see it pop up here. Nice job on the lead-in show overall, building things up for the big card. Loved the last segment, with the stark contrast between the affable and down-to-earth Duggan and the stuck-up, superior attitude of Dibiase.

dawho5 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Roadies and Abby/Singh should be incredible. Olympia might be a little crazy going after Bundy right now. Kirchner vs. Kernodle! Two guys I don't much care for but your booking has me interested. Snuka and Mulligan in a bullrpe match for the title is such a big match. Those two have been feuding forever and it's a good thing. I'll agree on the contrast between DiBiase and Duggan. Very well done and I'm pumped for the Memorial Day show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Duggan & Dibiase were such a hot act in Mid-South and I'm glad to see this unfold in Mid-Atlantic as well. Polar opposites always make for some gripping promos. Memorial Day should be jampacked with excitement! Looking forward to Mr. Olympia vs King Kong Bundy!

gordi Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 It makes me happy to see Iron Mike get a pin. Great use of the Steiners as an unpleasant surprise for the bad guys. Backlund gets the win... but at what cost? And that's kind of a theme tonight, as a few guys take a ton of punishment... Polynesian Power getting some sweet revenge is a great way to end the show.

dawho5 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I like Backlund's win and Rheingans' reaction a lot. The Steiners with a big win over Greatness. Referees definitely had a tough job tonight, a lot of out of control brawling. Kirch vs. Kernodle does not disappoint. Polynesian Power sending the fans home happy is a great way to end the show.

SirEdger Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 AND NEW!!! Paul Orndorff will make a great Mid-Atlantic Champion. And what a dangerous trio that will be Ted Dibiase, Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude! My favorite match was definitely the Bullrope Match. Exactly what I was expected and enjoyed every moment of it!

kevinmcfl Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 The NWA is on fire and MACW is leading the way with this SuperCard! I enjoy babyfaces doing the heel thing as Valiant canes Oliver to help Taylor! KKB continues to moves up the ranks and is a force to be reckon with! Not sure why Dr. Tom is one of my favorites but I love the roll he is on right now... even if it is with a handful of tights That 10 second count has so many interpretations.... and it is always what serves the purpose at the moment. Idol should have asked why he didn't get a new 10 when Fuller got back in. Glad Rocky Johnson and Cooley are having a nice run here. They have finally found a home to get them over the top in this game. Dibiase with help is unstoppable. He will need to find away to buy the NWA title but if he ever gets it, how will you get it away from him... Piledriver vs Piledriver as Orndorff beats Race. Great move here as he is a great choice to carry MACW forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Redneck Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Need Dibiase to bring back the black glove and get rid of the cobra hold. Still think that Rip Oilver as a rough house style babyface could do wonders here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I've said it before and I'll probably say it again: I sometimes feel a bit sad when I'm done reading one of these big show write ups. I've been enjoying seeing these two huge Memorial Day cards come together, and looking forward to seeing what happens, for a while now. I guess there's The Parade of Champions to look froward to next. There's always something going on in this world... After surviving Steve “Dr. Death” Williams & the Barbarian and Abdullah the Butcher & Tiger Jeet Singh I think we can say that The Road Warriors are firmly established as the top dogs in the NWA tag scene. I also liked Valiant's "turn about is fair play" spot in the Taylor vs Oliver match. The $10,000 challenge continues to be a highlight of your shows. I agree with everything SirEd said: Orndorff will be a great champ; Ted Dibiase, Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude are a dangerous trio; and that Bullrope Match was great. Any of those last four matches could be a headliner anywhere. What a card! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Loved Olympia coming so close to getting Bundy. Valiant's revenge would have had that crowd on their feet. Mark Youngblood could be a really good midcard babyface. I'll agree the last 4 matches were amazing. DiBiase's new allies make him a very difficult guy to get to. Orndorff's road to being champ makes this such a big win for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what a dangerous trio that will be Ted Dibiase, Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude! My favorite match was definitely the Bullrope Match. Exactly what I was expected and enjoyed every moment of it! Mr. Wonderful had such a great AWA Title run, that when I got him, I wanted to carry that momentum and make him a champ. I have a lot planned for him as a top star.

Great move here as he is a great choice to carry MACW forward. Glad you caught that countout spot and you're exactly right. I used this specifically for Fuller to get the cheap win and continue the feud. Idol took out his frustrations on Fuller rather than the Ref.

It's also great having talent from other territories come in for the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 What an amazing show!! Olympia had a great showing but came up short...this challenge is an awesome way to build up Bundy! Snuka vs. BJM has been a great feud...loved the bullrope match! Love Orndorff as champion, Harley had a great run with the title which made Mr. Wonderful's win mean even more, so many great potential title matches to come for Orndorff. I really love Rude and Fernandez alligning with Dibiase...perhaps they may make a trip to Texas soon trying to collect the bounty on Dusty.
