SHOW RECAP:

 

Show opens with highlights of last week's title match between Buddy Landel/Kerry Von Erich…and Norvell Austin showing up at this week's house show to help Brickhouse Brown/Koko Ware defeat the Rat Patrol….Gossett says he can't wait for the Battle of New Orleans tomorrow to see the Stud Stable finally get rid of "Dr. D" David Schultz once and for all. Platt says we have a big main event today with Fuller and Golden defending the tag team titles against King Kong Bundy and Adrian Street ahead of the big 10 man tag match tomorrow in New Orleans.  Gossett also points out that the Fiesta Garden returns today with the challenger for Ted Dibiase's AWA World title Terry Gordy, joining Al Madril and Hercules Hernandez.

 

 

 

MATCH #1:

The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes/Buddy Roberts) w/Terry Gordy defeated Roy Munson/Rudo Sanchez when Roberts pinned Sanchez after a neckbreaker

 

Post match- Michael Hayes says tonight Buddy Jack is going to take the US Jr title from Super Black Ninja and tomorrow at the SuperDome, Bam Bam is taking the World title from Ted Dibiase and it's time for the Freebirds to step off the back burner here in Continental and step into the spotlight where they belong!

 

 

MATCH #2:

Soul Patrol (Brickhouse Brown/Koko Ware/Norvell Austin) defeated Randy Watson/Buster Scruggs/Buck Spivey when Austin pinned Scruggs after a splash off the 2nd rope

 

Post match- Brickhouse says that the contract has been signed for tomorrow in New Orleans…a six man tag with the Soul Patrol against the Rat Patrol and the losing team can no longer be a "Patrol" anymore! Koko says he's excited to get the opportunity to be there live and in person when their brothers the Movement prove everyone wrong and take the World Tag Team titles from the Road Warriors! Norvell says "beating these redneck Rat Patrol boys" is just the first step in the Soul Patrol taking over CCW!

 

 

COMMERCIAL BREAK

 

 

MATCH #3:

AWA Continental Television Championship

Lars Anderson w/Gen. Skandor Akbar defeated Randy Rose by submission to the Boston Crab

 

 

Fiesta Garden w/Terry Gordy:

Madril/Hercules went through their usual opening shenanigans before bringing Gordy out. Gordy said right out of the gate he wasn't here to crack jokes and play games…..he was here to show everyone his neck is 100% and he's ready for Dibiase and to tell Madril and Hercules he didn't appreciate their involvement in helping injure him and that at some point they have a "butt kicking" coming their way….Madril said, "how bout now?" which prompted Gordy to slap him down to the ground which caused Hercules to level him with a clothesline….Madril put the boots to Gordy before pulling up so Hercules could lock him in a full nelson….the kept it on for a minute or so until Hayes/Roberts come running out with chairs to break things up…..afterwards they helped Gordy up who was holding his neck as they helped him to the back

 

 

MATCH #4:

AWA World Lightheavyweight Champion Brad Armstrong pinned Roy Lee Welch after a Russian Leg Sweep

 

Post match- Brad says that he's excited for the big 10 man tag against the Stud Stable tomorrow but first things first, he has a Continental title match against Buddy Landel the man who was instrumental in sending his father out of Continental and he'll be happy to add the Continental title to his belt collection which currently includes the AWA World Lightheavyweight title and the Georgia tag team title. He said Buddy likes to talk but tonight he will shut his mouth for good!

 

 

COMMERCIAL BREAK

 

 

As the show returned from the commercial break Continental Champion Buddy Landel comes out for his weekly rant. Buddy says he heard what Brad Armstrong had to say and a lot better than him have tried to shut his mouth and failed…..like Kerry Von Erich, Mr.Olympia, and David Schultz and he's still champion.  He said he didn't have time for non-sense with Charlie Platt today and that he's champion and needs to "go do champion things"…and left the studio.

 

 

MATCH #5:

Grappler 2 pinned Parker Williams after a shoulder breaker……post match Grappler 2 started putting the boots to Williams until Mr. Olympia hit the ring and ran him off

 

Post match- Olympia says the Grapplers may have got the best of Kerry and himself last week but tomorrow night in New Orleans it's going to be a different story and tonight he'll get a sample in the six man tag team match!

 

COMMERCIAL BREAK

 

"Dr. D" David Schultz comes out and says that Ron Fuller still has time to make things right and pay him his money before they destroy the Stud Stable tomorrow at the Battle of New Orleans!

 

 

MATCH #6

MAIN EVENT

"Exotic" Adrian Street/King Kong Bundy defeated Robert Fuller/Jimmy Golden by DQ when Al Madril/Hercules Hernandez/Buddy Landel all the hit the ring and attacked Street/Bundy until David Schultz/Brad Armstrong/Michael Hayes/Buddy Roberts hit the ring to even the odds causing the Stud Stable to evacuate the studio!

Continental doesn't miss a beat as the storylines just get better.

Loving the Soul Patrol as they are gaining serious momentum. 

The Lars/OMG feud is heating up. Cant wait for that collision. 

Madril and Herc do a number on Gordy's neck. This could be a huge factor in Gordy's title match with Dibiase. 

Super Black Ninja continues his winning ways with a big win over Buddy Jack.

Oh man! Casey walks out on Cooley! Cooley will want answers. 

The team of Bundy/Street and Olympia is a sight to see LOL. 

Brad takes Buddy to the limit until chaos breaks out! That 10 man tag at the Super Dome is going to be off the charts!

Things are ramped up to a fever pitch heading into the Superdome!!

The thought of Buddy Roberts as a Junior Champion is hilarious to me, and I don't know why!

I am really digging the newer, angrier Soul Patrol, and as a representative for The Movement, I can tell you they appreciate the support.

That Fiesta Garden reeks of a set up! Looking forward to The 'Birds getting some revenge in the near future.

The Grapplers vs Kerry/Olympia match is gonna be one hell of a fight. Lots of bad blood there.

I think if I were Ron Fuller, I'd be making a trip to the bank.

One heck of a brawl to close the show, and man, Continental is a dangerous place these days!!

 

Super Black Ninja is a force to be reckoned with!

Soul Patrol/Rat Patrol keeps heating up, there match at the Superdome should be a good one.

Lars and the Gang is gonna get ugly real soon.

Wild 6 man!

Scott Casey is walking out on people now! Good Lord, Continental really is a dangerous place when Scott Casey is walking out on people!!

Another big cluster to finish the show, but man Brad Armstrong took Buddy to the limit!

Good shows man!

I suppose I had better go post The Battle of New Orleans!!

Wrestling Television

Civic Coliseum Studio

Knoxville, TN.

Taped at 10am/Airing at 3pm on Saturday Aug 31, 1984 on Superstation WTBS and other

Television outlets across Alabama/Mississippi/East Tennessee/North Florida

Hosted by Charlie Platt/Ronnie P. Gossett

Ring Announcer: Rick Stewart

Interviews: Joe Pedicino

AWA Continental Commissioner: Les Thatcher

 

SHOW RECAP:

 

Angles/Promos-

 

At the top of the show Ron Fuller stormed out demanding an explanation for the Bullet being allowed to compete at 'Battle of New Orleans' when clearly that was Bob Armstrong who is banned from Continental. Thatcher came out and said until someone can remove the mask of the Bullet and prove that he's Bob Armstrong he will be allowed to compete.  Fuller said that if that's the case then Buddy Landel wants It known he is "on strike" from television until this is rectified and Bob Armstrong is banned for life because he didn't go through the trouble of running Bob Armstrong out of town for this travesty to be allowed to happen……in the middle of Fuller's rant…..The Fabulous Freebirds come out….Gordy is livid saying he would be the AWA World Champion right now if it wasn't for the Stud Stable attacking him last week and specifically Hercules Hernandez re-injuring his neck with the full nelson……they issue a challenge for tonight here in the Civic Center with all three Freebirds taking on Madril/Hernandez/Landel which Fuller accepts…

 

Wendell Cooley came out very heated calling out Scott Casey who walked out on him in their tag match last Saturday……Casey comes out somewhat aloof……Cooley says that he took the high road and didn't come out and confront him when he no showed their first title match to go wrestle for Atlantic Coast Wrestling…..he didn't say anything when he got tossed out of the battle royal the following week costing them a title match…..but last week took the cake when Casey simply walked out and abandoned him in their match with Fuller and Golden….Casey just laughs at all this and says that maybe Continental isn't big enough for the both of them….and how about tonight they face off in a 'loser leaves town' match…..Cooley says, "you're on!"

 

Skandor Akbar comes out along with Lars Anderson……Mr. Fuji comes out followed by the Super Black Ninja.  Akbar says that he and Mr. Fuji have realized that it's time to dissolve their partnership…..they have no ill will and they are both businessmen.  Mr. Fuji has sold the contracts of Kendo Nagasaki and the Great Kabuki and they have split the money and they will now go their separate ways with no hard feelings…..and with that Fuji and Ninja bow to Akbar and Anderson who return the favor as Fuji and Ninja exit the studio.  Akbar says he is negotiating bringing in some new members of Devastation Inc. and that their first order of business is to eliminate the One Man Gang and run him out of Continental Championship Wrestling.  Tonight, Lars Anderson has the opportunity to do so and once that is done….it will be time to set their sights elsewhere!  Charlie Platt points out that they "had their chance" this past week on some of the arena shows and Lars didn't stick around to fight but tonight he'll have no choice it will be a "lumberjack match" against the One Man Gang!

 

The Bullet and Brad Armstrong came out after their tag match to address the accusations of the Stud Stable, Bullet says he has a lot of respect for Bob Armstrong but clearly fans have seen him in action for Great Lakes Championship Wrestling and while he's flattered by the comparison he's not simply not Bob Armstrong….but what he will be after tonight is one half of the Continental Tag Team Champions with his partner 'Bad' Brad Armstrong "the belt collector".  Brad chimes in reminding everyone that he's not only the AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion but also one half of the AWA Georgia Tag Team Champions and soon to be one half of the Continental Tag Team Champions with the Bullet, and he closes by saying that if the Bullet is the reason that Buddy Landel isn't on television running his mouth, then he should be the most popular man in the Southeast!

 

The Bruthahood (Brickhouse Brown/Koko Ware/Norvell Austin) come out and brag about taking away the name of the former "Rat Patrol" last week in New Orleans and then injuring the Nightmares this past week…..this brings out Johnny Rich, Scott and Steve Armstrong.  Johnny Rich said while they may have not seen eye to eye with the Nightmares, what they did to Ken Wayne crossed the line and was uncalled for….Steve Armstrong chimed in and said that "that wasn't wrestling, that was an assault with the intent to end a man's career"  Brickhouse said if that didn't like it, how about they do something about it in the ring…tonight!  The Armstrongs and Rich accepted.  Afterwards, Ware says that they are proud to be associated with the 'Movement' and that they couldn't be more proud of the new World Tag Team Champions, Shaska Whatley and Tiger Conway!

The storylines keep rolling in Continental! 

Fuji's man Super Black Ninja gets another big win, this time over Adrian Street. 

Akbar said he was adding new members and he wasn't kidding as it looks like he now has the services of King Kong Bundy! Cant wait for Bundy vs. OMG! 

The Bruthahood is on a path of destruction as they send both Wayne and Rich out on stretchers! 

WOW! It only takes Cooley 43 seconds to send Casey packing! Casey has had some bad luck lately. 

Freebirds get the win but Herc gets the last laugh on Gordy. Gordy is going to be looking for some payback! 

Great storyline going with The Bullet and Stud Stable. Will they be able to get the mask off him?? This is going to be a lot of fun.

I love those Masked Men who we know who they are but the authority can't doing anything about it until it is proven like the Bullet here or Dusty and the Midnight Rider or Tommy Rich and Mr. R.  It is like the babyfaces have finally caught on and understand cheating is a good thing sometime. It is even better when they get unmasked and it is not them like Brad Armstrong being under the Mr. R mask.

A Loser-Leave Town Match on TV would have been golden in 84!

Bundy vs Gang might need some ring re-enforcement.

Poor Johnny Rich... after the Brainbuster on the Floor he might sound like cousin Tommy does now in 2019

A 43 second Loser Leave Town Match shows who was the real boss of that tag team

I can't decide who I want to come out on top of this Herc vs Gordy things.  They are two of my all-time favorites.  Herc was a great monster heel while Gordy could do it all!

Cooley just embarrassed Scott Casey right out of the territory!!

Bundy will make a fine member of Devastation Inc! Looking forward to Bundy vs Gang.

The Bruthahood are making waves and doing it fast. Poor Johnny Rich is gonna be laid up for quite a while.

Speaking of laid up, if Gordy takes too much more damage to the neck, he is gonna be in trouble. But The Birds and the Stud Stable feud is awesome!

The Bullet is going to be so much fun, as everyone tries to prove his identity.

Good Shit as always Gene!

Some big names making the loop! 

I absolutely love Muraco and Fuji in Continental! This is going to be awesome! 

Akbar's stock goes way up with the Sheepherders! No teams are safe.

LOL, like the odd pairing of Cash and Steve O. 

Street and Gang battling Lars and Bundy will be a lot of fun. 

A Freebirds/Stud Stable feud is money! 

Like the masked alliance of Bullet and Olympia. They will be a real thorn for the Stable. 

Landel retains against a red hot Cooley. Solid main event.

(Opening montage plays and we go to the desk with Charlie Platt who is alone this week as Ronnie P. Gossett is not in his usual seat)


Platt: "Hello and welcome once again to Continental Championship Wrestling as you can see this week my regular co-host Ronnie P. Gossett is not here, he's actually on assignment for the next two weeks, we'll hear more about that in the coming weeks but I'm very excited…as well as a bit nervous to introduce the man who will be my stand in co-host the next couple of weeks……he's a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion and most recently a former AWA TNT Heavyweight Champion, the one and only Terry Funk!"

(Terry Funk comes out all smiles to a mixed reaction from the studio audience)

 

TerryFunk.jpg

 

Funk: "Well hello there, 'Good Time Charlie', I can't tell you how excited I am to be here as the co-host of my all time favorite wrestling show, Continental Championship Wrestling…..every Saturday at the 'Double Cross Ranch' we're all glued to the tv set watching this show on the Superstation WTBS!"

 

Platt: "I promise you Mr. Funk, we're excited to have you here with us."

 

Funk: "Aw, come on Charlie….don't call me 'Mr.' just call me Terry!  Why we're gonna have the darndest time you ever seen here in Dothan, Alabama…..so many great wrestlers here today and I understand we have several new faces here besides myself not to mention a TV title match with Lars Anderson defending against Adrian Street, and Freebird Buddy Roberts taking on Al Madril!"

 

Platt: "That's right Terry, and we're about to go to the ring and see one of those new stars right now as Mr. Fuji leads the Magnificent Muraco to the ring for action."

==================================

MuracoandFuji2.jpg

MATCH #1:

Magnificent Muraco w/Mr. Fuji pinned Roy Munson after an inverted piledriver

 

(Post Match: Joe Pedicino joins Mr. Fuji and Muraco at ringside)

 

Pedicino: "Wow Mr. Fuji, it was announced last week that you've parted ways with Devastation Incorporated and Skandor Akbar and you've wasted no time bringing in one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling, the Magnificent Don Muraco…..who has been a champion all over the world!"


Fuji: "Ah yes….Muraco-san one of the best wrestler ever step in ring….and very soon he will hold title belt, I promise you."


Muraco: "Listen up Joe Pedicino, when Mr. Fuji talks you better listen because he speaks the truth  and the truth is…..just like I dropped that guy on his head and beat him….tonight I will do the same to Steve O…..and then the next one and the next one until I get a shot at one of these so called champions like Terry Gordy or Buddy Landel…..so put everyone on notice that 'the Magnificent One' has arrived and I'm on the hunt for gold!"

=====================================

COMMERCIAL BREAK

=====================================

MATCH #2:

Porkchop Cash pinned Randy Watson with a small package

 

(Post Match: Terry Funk stops Cash at the desk)


Funk: "Poke Chop, how the heck are ya man…..it's your old pal Terry Funk!"


Cash: (looking confused) "Um…hey Terry…how are you?"


Funk: "I'm great, man….I'm co-hosting Continental Championship Wrestling…living my dream.  But tell me man….what brings you here to Continental? I've seen you involved in all sorts of crazy stuff down in Florida and on the Atlantic Coast….where's that goofy Valiant? Did you not bring him with you?"


Cash: (laughing) "Nah Terry, I didn't bring Jimmy with me, man.  I'm actually looking to get away from some of that craziness down there and focus on myself and looking to make some money and…" (Before Cash can finish his sentence, Brickhouse Brown, Koko Ware, and Norvell Austin make their way out to the desk)

 

Funk: "Whoah guys….we certainly don't want any trouble out here…..we're just having a pleasant conversation…"


Brick: "Don't worry Terry, we're just here to have some conversation too….I just want to ask Bobby Cash why he feels the need to be a slave to 'the man' in pro wrestling?  Why you feel the need to make a fool of yourself doing stupid stuff like calling yourself 'Reverend Cash' or even worse….'Porkchop' Cash…why don't you just bring your shine box out here.." (Cash interjects)


Cash: "No hold on one damn minute, son.  First of all….you don't know me and you don't know nothin' about me.  Second of all….are you trying to tell me names like 'Brickhouse', 'Koko', or 'Norvell' are any more dignified than ANY name I've ever wrestled as??  I don't know what your agenda is with this 'Bruthahood' garbage but leave me out of it!"

 

Koko: "Boy, you got any idea who you're talking to right now?? If not….go ask the Nightmares and Johnny Rich if you can find them! We're out here trying to help you out….we came out here to give you an opportunity and this is how you respond??"


Funk: "Well guys, it did come off a bit disrespectful, if you don't mind me saying."


Brick: "Terry Funk….mind ya business….we're not above putting an old white cowboy out to pasture if you know what I'm sayin', step aside!" (Funk throws his hands up and backs away)

 

(Les Thatcher comes out)


Les: "I was going to deal with you guys later in the show but since you decided to come out here unscheduled, I'm going to go ahead and let you know that due to your actions recently, giving a brainbuster on the floor not only to Nightmare Ken Wayne, but also Johnny Rich….I'm suspending all three of you for two weeks and fining you $5,000! Unless you want to incur a bigger fine, I suggest you leave the studio and not show your faces at a Continental Wrestling event for the next two weeks."

 

Koko: "Well isn't this typical….you and the powers that be in the AWA are mad that our brothers in the Movement are the new AWA World Tag Team Champions and since there's nothing you can do to them….you try to oppress us….that's just fine because we shall overcome….this isn't over…the Movement here in Continental has just begun."

 

Brickhouse: "As for you 'Pokechop'…..this isn't over….Thatcher here might have saved you today but you better think it over…..we WILL be back and when we see you again…..BOBBY Cash better be ready to join the Bruthahood…..or suffer the consequences!"

Bullet: "That's right Charlie, since ol' limber tail Landel doesn't want to stay in the ring when he faces me, Les Thatcher decided that he would have to if we're strapped together so that's what happening tonight in Huntsville." (Terry Funk approaches with a piece of paper in his hand)


Funk: "Bob, I hate to interrupt but I have something you need to hear…"


Bullet: "That's fine Terry, but that's the BULLET….my name isn't Bob."


Funk: "Ok…sure…well anyway….this is a letter from the Continental Champion addressed to Charlie Platt as well as Bob Armstrong, but if you're not Bob Armstrong perhaps you can relay the message to him."

Bullet: "Oh, I sure can…we're great friends."


Funk: "I'm sure you guys are…. But for the benefit of the fans here in the studio and all the ones watching at home, I'm going to read this verbatim from Buddy Landel……Here goes..

 

'Dear Charlie Platt and Bob 'the liar with a stupid sock on his ugly head' Armstrong. (Funk shrugs) I hope this letter finds you both ill.  This makes the 2nd week in a row you've deprived the fans of Continental Wrestling the opportunity to see their beloved champion on television due to your stupid, pathetic charade of having Bob Armstrong parade around in a stupid mask while wearing the same gear and using the same name he always has….the Bullet.  This is an insult to the fans, the wonderful and kind people of WTBS, as well as my personal inspiration and hero the great Ted Turner….not to mention myself, 'Mr. AWA', the Nature Boy and the greatest champion of our generation or any other Buddy Landel. (Funk again shrugs) I'll wrestle you in your Indian Strap Match (which is stupid since neither of us is an Indian but whatever) I hope when I beat you in this match and remove that stupid mask off your ugly face that Les Thatcher will do the right thing and suspend you or better yet fire you (or even better yet send you to jail or have you executed either or) Meanwhile, I hope your happy with what I'm sure are miniscule and mediocre ratings due to the fact that I'm not on the show.

 

Sincerely,

The Champ

 

 

P.S. Charlie Platt you are an abomination as a host and I hope you get replaced with a chimpanzee (at least he would be more handsome and insightful)

 

P.P.S. All of the Armstrongs are trash, I'd rather watch an endless loop of Mike Von Erich matches than ever see any of them in the ring again."


Platt: "Wow….I don't know what to say."


Funk: "I bet the chimpanzee would…..haha, I'm just ribbing you 'Good Time Charlie', you are a great announcer, you make Gordon Solie look like Bill Watts on the microphone."


Platt: "Thanks….I think."

COMMERCIAL BREAK

===============================

Platt: "Well Terry, how have you enjoyed your first week as co-host of Continental Championship Wrestling?"


Funk: "Good Time Charlie', it's been my pleasure….what a show it's been and we still have the main event next but thanks for having me and I can't wait til next Saturday as we'll not only be on television right here once again but we'll be headed to Knoxville for a show called the 'Smoky Mountain Massacre' where the AWA World Tag Team Champions the Movement will be here defending their titles against the winners of a big four corners tag team match we have coming up this week!"


Platt: "That's right Terry, all that and more next week but right now let's go to our main event!"

Funk was awesome on the microphone.

Love the political un-correctness of the segment with Cash and the Brotherhood .... real 1980's stuff.  I was watching some Mid-South stuff from 1981 the other day and the way the announcer was calling the match with the Midget Ladies had me laughing about what would have happened to him today.

Love the Sheepherders here... the chaos they are going to cause!!

Landell and the later was so funny!  Awesome writing!  And Funk reading the letter was even better.  

Very interested to see what side of the law Funk ends up on.

Terry Funk is my favorite wrestler of all time, and I always loved it when he would do his fake nice guy commentary (my favorite was when he would pronounce Z-Man like he was saying semen, only with a Z)

You captured it perfectly. Loved It.

Muraco and Fuji are going to be a force here. Kinda hope they play both sides of the fence.

The Funk/Cash/Bruthahood interaction was fantastic, and I look forward to seeing how it plays out. Cash taking a shot at there names was a great touch.

Looking forward to The Herders adding more chaos to your already crazy tag division!

Bullet/Funk interaction was fantastic, and Buddy steals the show again without even being there!

Adrian Street and Lars Anderson may be the greatest "one of these things is not like the other" match up ever. Glad to see Street pick up the belt.

The 'Birds seem to be in a little funk around here, but maybe  Gordy getting into a nice fight with Hercules is just what the doctor ordered!

I love how you used Porkchop Cash's gimmick in Atlantic Coast to set up his first angle with The Movement. Very well played.

Terry Funk was so entertaining in this co-host gig that I hope to see more of that in Continental. And good grief, Buddy Landel's letter was hilarious.

Terry Funk has arrived! Good move having him co host. That made for some great TV.

Muraco debuts with Fuji on TV and makes his goals known. 

"Go get your shine box" LOL, those are fighting words! The Movement is running wild across the AWA. Cash is going to need some back up when they return from their suspension.  

Sheepherders debut with a bang and even push Pedicino down! Nobody is safe. 

HAHAHA, like the bantering between Funk and Bob oh I mean Bullet. I couldn't stop laughing when Funk read that letter from Landel. That was freakn hilarious! 

Street wins the TV title! YES! This feud just went up a notch. 

The Great Al Madril gets the pin on Buddy Jack but the show ends with a Gordy/Herc brawl. Cant wait to see these guys go at it. 

With all the craziness going on in Continental, it's only a matter of time before Funk gets involved. 

Great show! Lot's of laughs, brawls and a new TV champ.

Great night of action in Huntsville! 

Cash, Muraco and the Sheepherders pick up nice wins to look strong. 

Olympia is a real threat to Super Ninja but those Grapplers spoil the match and put a beating on Olympia.

Madril's cheating once again pays off, this time against Hayes. 

Bundy and Lars gets some payback on Street and OMG.

LOL, looks like Landel's letter gave Bullet extra incentive in the strap match. Stud Stable tries to get the mask off but the reliable Armstrong's make the save.

I would of loved to seen that main event live. Gordy takes down the mighty Hercules.
