Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling June 86

[GeneJackson95]

I loved the interaction with Houston/JJ...you've done a really great job making each challenger seem like they are going to be the one to win the cash! 

I agree with the consensus the Awesome Twosome are destined for great things in the tag team division....they would make awesome champions because they make great opponents for not only teams like the Road Warriors and SST but teams like The Rock & Roll Express and The Von Erichs as well.

Orndorff and Duggan are getting over great as your top babyfaces with Dibiase and Race making strong top heels as well.  

[dawho5]

Infernales stealing the titles!  Backlund with a big win over Rheingans.  Submission match seems perfect for those two.  Jones and Oliver appear to be on the same page, but for how long?  Houston going after Bundy is a great way of re-introducing him to the territory.  Win or lose he ends up looking good.  Youngblood vs. Mulligan is a nice addition to any card.  Rich gets a solid title defense with some story development added on.  Great, GREAT way to end the show with Duggan making a statement.

St. Clair and Singh are slowly building an unexpected good feud.  Cobra and SBS would have been one Hell of a workrate feud in the 80s.  Jones and Oliver might not be working together after all.  Idol is looking all kinds of ready for his big match.  The main is all kinds of awesome with two of your hottest feuds in the ring at the same time.  Duggan again is looking like a world-beater.

Iron Mike gets a win!  Big win for Rude and Fernandez.  I like putting them over a midcard team in a competitive bout, helps everyone.  Backlund continues to have the Professor's number of late, bad shoulder and all.  Houston giving Bundy a challenge is the right call.  Kirch getting one up on Kernodle was needed.  Kernodle was getting a little too cocky for his own good.  That 8-man tag is a great way to use your midcarders.  Have 3 feuds in the ring at once and just let 'em rip.  It would be more than enough to keep a crowd happy, especially given the finish.

I really can't say enough about how you've developed your roster.  You have a ton of guys you can plug into different feuds and not miss a beat.  Flair/Horsemen and Hogan are guys that demand a lot of attention for sure and it's hard to not make them the focus of every show.  What you have going is a good amount of midcard/upper midcard guys who can plug into main event slots when you don't have the focus on your top two (Race/Orndorff and DiBiase/Duggan for me) feuds.

MACW @ WTBS Studios TV (Recorded 6-25-86) Aired 6-28-86

 

Schiavone: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Back with me this week is David Crockett. Well David, why don't you do the honors and tell the fans the latest news concerning the Great American Bash.

Crockett: Thank you Tony. As you fans know, the Great American Bash comes to you on July 2nd in the Memorial Stadium located in the great wrestling city of Charlotte North Carolina. I'm excited to tell you that Tony and I will be there to provide live commentary, not only for our fans watching on Close Circuit, but Crockett Promotions will be recording the event so it can be sold and distributed on VHS tapes. 

Schiavone: That is exciting news David and I'm glad you were able to get that finalized. July 2nd will be a historic night for Mid Atlantic. As for tonight's show, in action will be Austin Idol, Mid Atlantic Champ Paul Orndorff, Tom Prichard, Corporal Kirchner, Tony St. Clair, Rip Oliver, Jimmy Valiant, Bob Backlund and Polynesian Power. Speaking of Polynesian Power, we have received word from the NWA Board of Directors concerning their match with the Southern Ramblers this weekend in Philadelphia. The winners of that match will receive a shot at the NWA National Tag Team Titles on July 19th. 

Heavy boos come from the crowd as Rick Rude and Manny Fernandez walk out to the podium. 

Fernandez: Listen up Daddy, you keep talking about all the great teams here in Mid Atlantic but you're looking at the best and I'm talking about the Awesome Twosome Daddy! There isn't a team here who can match up to us. When Ted Dibiase purchased our contracts, he promised opportunity, but man it's hard to get any opportunity when there's no competition to face. Tell them Rick.

Rude: That's right! We say we're the best because we are. The facts have already been established. Every team in Mid Atlantic is ducking us. (Laughs) I mean nobody wants to get in the ring with the Awesome Twosome. I just feel bad for Ted, I hate seeing his hard earned money go to waste just because the tag team competition here is so weak.

The crowd cheers as Rolling Thunder (Pedro Morales and Spike Huber) come out. 

Huber: You know, my partner and I have been in the back listening to you two run your mouths. You want some competition? 

Morales: We'll give it to you. In the ring...tonight! 

The fans cheer as Rolling Thunder head back. Fernandez and Rude smile at each other.

Fernandez: We accept Daddy! 

Schiavone: Ok fans, there you have it. Our main event tonight will be Rolling Thunder taking on The Awesome Twosome. Let's go to the ring. 

 

Corporal Kirchner vs. Vic DeMarco

  Kirchner swings DeMarco to the ropes and gives him a boot to the face. Kirchner body slams DeMarco and follows with a standing Leg Drop. Kirchner hoists DeMarco up on his shoulders and drops him back with the Fallaway Slam for the pin! The fans cheer as Kirchner parades around the ring, holding the American Flag high. 

Kirchner cuts a promo saying the Rougeaus are pumped up and ready for the Bash. He says the Caspian Empire will fall and Don Kernodle's days are numbered.

Commercial Break

 

'Boogie Woogie Man' Jimmy Valiant vs. Carl Hillman

 Valiant swings Hillman to the ropes and back drops him, and follows with a body slam. Valiant swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop for the pin! 

Valiant cuts a promo and says he heard Oliver say he doesn't want Paul Jones at ringside during their match at the Bash. Valiant says he doesn't trust Jones and never will so he'll be watching out for him. 

 

Tony St. Clair vs. Aaron Arbuckle

 The fans cheer as St. Clair heads towards the ring but Tiger Jeet Singh nails him from behind! Singh hammers away on St. Clair and hurls him into the ring. Singh kicks Arbuckle and throws him through the ropes. The Ref tries to stop Singh but Singh throws him out of the ring! Singh turns around and is nailed with a European uppercut by St. Clair. St. Clair hits Singh with a flurry of European uppercuts, swings him to the ropes and clotheslines him. Officials storm the ring to break this up. After a moment, it's under control but Singh breaks free and nails Tony from behind with a double axe handle to the back of his head. Wrestlers from the back come out to help. 

Commercial Break

 

Crockett: Order has finally been restored. Those two will be on opposing teams at the Bash but adding Antonio Inoki and Abdullah the Butcher to the mix equals more chaos in my opinion. I sure feel bad for the Referee who has to officiate that match. I want to take a moment and remind our great fans in Philadelphia that MACW comes to the Civic Center this weekend for a hard hitting card. You will see Bob Backlund squaring off against Brad Rheingans in a submission match. Polynesian Power take on the Southern Ramblers for a shot at the National Tag Team Titles. Hot Property and Sweet Brown Sugar take on the Assassins and Cobra in a 6 man Tornado match. Mark Youngblood clashes with Blackjack Mulligan and in a special attraction bout, Bruiser Brody goes up against Akira Maeda. Should be a great night of action. Well fans, with me right now is one JJ Dillon.

JJ: (Arrogant smile) David Crockett, things couldn't be going better, thank you for asking. As you know, I have the most destructive force in wrestling, King Kong Bundy. He's so destructive that for the past two months we've put up 10,000 dollars to any man who can defeat him. Guess what? (Holds up the briefcase) I still have the money. One by one they've come in and one by one Bundy has knocked them down. I would say that's quite a track record. However, King Kong Bundy is somehow left off the Great American Bash card. I find that very puzzling. But do you really think that's going to prevent us from showing up? David, my boy, rest assured King Kong Bundy and myself will be attending the show and I dare anybody to try and stop him. 

Crockett: Well it looks like JJ and King Kong Bundy plan on making the trip to Charlotte, match or not. I'm not sure I like the sound of that. Fans, back to the ring. 

 

Bob Backlund vs. Lloyd London

 Backlund works over London with some solid Amateur wrestling. Bob's favoring his sore arm a bit but still looks sharp. Backlund hits a Running Atomic Drop on London, then applies the cross face chicken wing for the submission. 

Backlund cuts a promo on Rheingans and says hurt arm or not, he will make Rheingans submit in Philadelphia.

Commercial Break

 

Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones vs. Alex Portman

 Oliver body slams Portman a couple times then swings off the ropes and hits a knee drop. Oliver climbs to the 2nd turnbuckle. Portman staggers up and Oliver nails him with a flying clothesline for the pin! Oliver and Jones head to the podium and are met by the Southern Ramblers.

 

Schiavone: With me right now is the entire Paul Jones Army. I've got to ask..

Jones: Stop right there Schiavone! You just keep your mouth shut and listen up. First things first, my Southern Ramblers, Johnny Rich and Randy Rose are going into Philadelphia this weekend for one reason, to beat that 2nd rate team Polynesian Power and get what's rightfully theirs, a shot at the National Tag Team Titles. 

The Southern Ramblers smile and nod in approval. 

Jones: Now, as far as the Great American Bash goes. Rip, I told you I would respect your wishes and stay away from ringside during your match with that lowlife Valiant. I will honor that but just remember the end game here. Understand?

Oliver: How can I forget Paul, that's all you've been talking about since I arrived here. I remember the end game but just make sure you do. The end game is me getting a title shot once this situation with Jimmy Valiant is over. Do you understand? 

Jones: You do for me Rip and I will surely do for you. 

 

Commercial Break

 

Polynesian Power vs. Steve Ramsey and Brad Kimber

  Sakalia swings Kimber to the ropes and hits a superkick and follows with three consecutive elbow drops and tags in Tui. Tui suplexes Kimber and tags in Sakalia. Sakalia hoists Kimber up and crashes back with the Samoan Drop and tags in Tui. Tui leaps off the top turnbuckle and crashes down with a flying elbow smash to get the pin! The fans cheer as Polynesian Power bump fists and hug. 

Polynesian Power cut a promo and say they've been waiting for this golden opportunity and the Southern Ramblers aren't going to stop them from achieving their goal. 

 

Schiavone: Polynesian Power have their sights set on the National Titles but the Southern Ramblers stand in the way. Ok fans, I want to bring out another young talented team here in Mid Atlantic, I'm talking about Joe Savoldi and Billy Travis known as Hot Property.

Huge pop from the fans.

Schiavone: Big night in Philly as the two of you team with Sweet Brown Sugar in a 6 man Tornado match against the Assassins and Cobra. That should be a wild one as both sides have had some major issues wi...

The Assassins and Cobra come out and attack Hot Property! The Assassin is telling his guys to punish them. The crowd cheers as Sweet Brown Sugar runs out to even things up. All 6 men are fighting all over the place. Pandemonium is breaking loose!

The fans explode as Tommy Rich comes out with the TV title on his shoulder. 

Rich: Did somebody say something about fired up, because David, I'm fired up tonight! 

The fans boo as Rock Riddle and Tom Prichard walk to the podium.

Riddle: Oh Davey Baby, I'm truly disappointed in you, I really am. My main man, the A lister himself Tom Prichard just puts on a stellar show for his fans and what do you do? You bring out this fluke of a chump Tommy Rich. Why are you wasting your time with this B level talent? I mean what is this? Amateur Hour? 

Crockett: I believe this is the man who beat your A lister for the TV title. That's why he's out here. 

Prichard: That was a fluke! Tommy Rich knows it and I know it! Come July 2nd baby, that title is coming back where it belongs, around the waist of a true blockbuster of a champion, which would be me. You don't deserve that belt Rich! You're nothing but a flop! 

Rich sets the title on the podium and takes off his jacket. 

Rich: Let me tell you something Mr. A lister. I do agree, you're at the top of the A list. You're the number one Ass in my book! 

Prichard swings at Rich but Rich blocks it and punches Prichard, knocking him down. Riddle quickly gets Prichard and takes him to the back as the fans are out of their seats cheering.

[SirEdger]

You can definitely feel the tension between Rip Oliver and Paul Jones. And I got the feeling things will explode at the Bash.

As expected, great showing for the Awesome Twosome. And I don't know what's gonna happen with King Kong Bundy at the Bash but it'll be epic!

[dawho5]

I like the focus on the Awesome Twosome.  I expected the Singh attack at this point, but St. Clair got his licks in too.  Oliver and Jones are not going to be together long, I can feel it.  Rock Riddle being insulted by Davey Baby talking to Tommy Rich is perfect.  Bundy at the Bash, what could go wrong?  Solid babyface show with a few exceptions.  The Awesome Twosome continue to gain momentum, should be fun to watch them in MACW.

[SirEdger]

Backlund vs Rheingans in a Submission Match is everything I would ask for right now. Most certainly a highlight of that card.

Huge statement win for the Southern Ramblers and a much deserved National Tag Title shot as well. Ricky & Robert better get ready!

And even in defeat, Mark Youngblood with a really good showing against Blackjack Mulligan. Gonna go a long way for him to boost his confidence in the future!

[kevinmcfl]

Great lead up to the Bash.

Love the push the Awesome Twosome is getting.  Wondering the outcome of the Oliver/Paul Jones angle.  It could go so many ways.  You have really developed Rock Riddle into a nice arrogant manager.  Pritchard/Wildfire is another feud with so many options.  This is one of the things that makes MACW a fun read.

[dawho5]

Brody and Maeda was a great clash of styles.  Ramblers get their shot, but my guess is that Polynesian Power isn't done with them.  Submission match went about as perfect as it could have with Rheingans winning.  Loved the 6-man to end the show and send the fans home happy.
