Now onto the business at hand. I get the grand opportunity of a lifetime for a chance at the NWA World Title but standing in my way is that pesky Austin Idol. Now I already beat that boy at the Memorial Event, so why do I have to do it again? Schiavone: That was hardly a solid victory. Fuller: You watch your mouth there Tony Schiavone.

Brad: I thought I told you to refer to me as Mr. Rheingans? However, I've been doing a lot of thinking and as you and all these morons already know, there is nobody who knows more about wrestling than I do. I'm a true wrestling Encyclopedia. So I have decided that Mister just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Meet my partners for the Great American Bash, the Caspian Empire. Smirnoff: Corporal Kirchner, we have had many battles and my partner and I would like to have many more.

gordi Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I like how you are setting up those six-man tags, with different guys joining forces against mutual enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 History shows that sometimes, challenges to "B-level wrestlers" don't turn out for the best for the man throwing the challenge. I think that Dr. Tom Prichard might regret this. I'd love to see Brad Rheingans change monikers every week lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Rheingans as the Professor of Wrestling may anger El Profe a little bit. But it is a good heel gimmick for sure. Generally when a guy gets cocky like Prichard is here , something goes terribly awry. Should be one Hell of a 6-man with Kirchner and Kernodle. And the Roadies joining forces with Duggan would be a great team. Whoever beats Bundy is going to get such a huge boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Nice bounceback win for Harley Race after losing the Mid-Atlantic title to Paul Orndorff. Harley,s right back into contention for that title already And I really thought for a moment that the Southern Ramblers would win the US Tag Titles. Great finish!

GeneJackson95 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I think the Southern Ramblers will eventually take those US tag titles As mentioned Harley Race gets a nice win to bounce back and get right back in the fray with Mr. Wonderful! Rock Riddle and the Agency continues to be one of my favorite segments of your tv, always fun stuff. Idol or Fuller either one would make for an interesting challenger for Nikita.

LowBlowPodcast Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 St. Louis gets a great card here with Race being on top. I like the National Title reign of Snuka here as well and he honestly has the chance to be one of the brightest stars in the AWA. He's got the talent and just needs the right feud.

dawho5 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 The finish to Singh's match is perfect. Rolling Thunder & Greatness starting up a feud? Could be a lot of fun and a good way to elevate Rolling Thunder. Hot Property and the Assassins was a Hell of a brawl. Snuka and Cobra would have been a really fun workrate match. The cane misfiring on Jones had to make those St. Louis fans happy. But not as happy as seeing Harley get the win in easily the match of the night.
