Crazymax Jack Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 It doesn't get any better than a Bullet vs. Buddy Landel strap match. Between the solid work from both ends and then seeing Landel sell being drug around the ring... It's just main event money all day... Then the Lights out match... What a show.... If only we could have seen a lucid Gordy vs. a mobile Hercules in their primes in real life like this.... Amazing match. Honestly, from the opener all the way until the unsanctioned finale there was no bad match on the card. Talk about getting your money's worth.

kevinmcfl Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I was watching Mid-South from 1981-82 last night and it is amazing how many of their jobbers and young baby faces became stars and the biggest was Buddy Landel. I just love how he is the top heel in CCW as his work and promos are spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Big win for Porkchop Cash over Lars. Muraco continues racking up wins. LOL! Fuji Vice on Continental would skyrocket ratings. Street and Bundy is such a fun feud. What a contrast of styles! I'm hoping Miss Linda and Skandor get into it LOL. Cooley and Olympia get a monster win and are rewarded with a shot at The Movement. The Great One falls to the Bullet. Cant get enough of Stud Stable vs. Freebirds. Stable take it tonight. Edger is right, even with Herc's help, Landel will have a ton to brag about getting a win over Gordy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Television Civic Coliseum Studio Knoxville, TN. Taped at 10am/Airing at 3pm on Saturday Sept. 14, 1984 on Superstation WTBS and other Television outlets across Alabama/Mississippi/East Tennessee/North Florida Hosted by Charlie Platt Special Guest Co-Host: Terry Funk Ring Announcer: Rick Stewart Interviews: Joe Pedicino AWA Continental Commissioner: Les Thatcher (The show opens with footage from Huntsville of the Bullet defeating Buddy Landel in a non-title Indian Strap Match and the Stud Stable trying to hit the ring to unmask him but the Armstrongs made the save…..we then roll the opening montage and over to the desk with Charlie Platt and special co-host Terry Funk!) Platt: "Hello wrestling fans and welcome to an abbreviated episode of Continental Championship Wrestling today due to the Atlanta Braves having a special start time today, this will be a short broadcast but action packed as we bring you the 'Smoky Mountain Massacre tonight at the Civic Center here in Knoxville, Tennessee!" Funk: "That's right 'Good Time Charlie', the show might be short because of the Braves game but it's going to be a great show none the less! I'm excited to be here just like last week and it's going to be a wild night tonight….I can't wait for the Smoky Mountain Massacre!!" (Les Thatcher makes his way out) Funk: "Looks like we're getting right to it with boss man coming out, Charlie." Les: "A couple of quick things I need to address here at the top of the show, guys. The first thing is the AWA will not tolerate what happened on this show last week….and I'm referring to the Sheepherders knocking down Joe Pedicino. It was uncalled for and I will not stand for it. So, due to last week's actions, the Sheepherders have been suspended from being in the studio or competing on television for 30 days. Joe hit his head when he fell, he has a concussion, he's not with us today as he recovers back in Atlanta. Moving forward, if a wrestler puts his hands on….or strikes an announcer that wrestler will be suspended for 60 days, not just from television…suspended all together and fined $5,000!" Platt: "Well, I think that's appropriate as there was no call for what happened to Joe and it shouldn't be allowed to ever happen again. Thank you for that Les." (Ron Fuller comes storming out to the desk along with Al Madril, Hercules Hernandez, Robert Fuller, and Jimmy Golden) Ron: "Listen here Les Thatcher…..we're out here to talk to you right now and we don't care that fatty, Joe Pedicino got pushed down by the Sheeplovers. I have had it with the Freebirds! This crap has gone on long enough between the Stud Stable and the Freebirds….so here is what I'm proposing right now…..TONIGHT, at the Smoky Mountain Massacre, a six man loser leaves town, winners take all match with the Stable vs. Freebirds. If they win, they get the CCW Tag Team titles and Hercules, my brother Robert, and Jimmy Golden will leave town! If we win…..Herc gets that Southeastern title and all three of the Freebirds leave town! What do you say to that?" Les: "Well….I'm ok with it….but they would have to sign…" (Before Thatcher can finish, the Freebirds come out….security and Terry Funk jump between the two teams) Hayes: "You think we're scared boy!?!? Show us the papers and we'll sign them right now! We'd like nothin' better than to take your titles and send your butts right out of Continental for good!" Gordy: "That's right Hercules….I beat you last week in Huntsville….and there won't be a damn thing stopping me from doing it again tonight…..consider it done!!" (The Birds head back out) Thatcher: "Ok Ron, you got what you want…..so you guys can go back to the dres…." Ron: "Not just yet, Thatcher. I want another match….I want to put an end to this stupid Bullet charade once and for all. First, I want to hear it from your mouth….since Bob Armstrong lost an AWA sanctioned match that stated he had to leave Continental for a year…..if we unmask the Bullet and show it's Bob Armstrong, will he be gone?" Thatcher: "IF you unmask the Bullet…..and IF he turned out to be Bob Armstrong…..yes, he would be banned for life from CCW due to not following the contract stipulation." Ron: "Great….in that case….we want a match tonight with Buddy Landel vs. Bob Armstrong and when Buddy wins, the Bullet has to unmask himself!" Thatcher: "I can't make a match with Buddy vs. Bob Armstrong….but I can make a match with THE BULLET vs. Buddy Landel…..and I'll even make that stipulation BUT….since the Bullet has beaten Landel in more than one non-title match….tonight's match will be MASK vs. TITLE.." Ron: (ponders this for a moment) "You got it….make the match, Thatcher…..Bob Armstrong will be out of here!" Thatcher: "That remains to be seen but as mentioned, we're on a time crunch today and only have time for three matches…..so let's get the first one under way!" ================================= MATCH #1: AWA World Tag Team Champions The Movement (Shaska Whatley/Tiger Conway Jr) defeated Randy Watson/Roy Munson when Whatley pinned Munson after a powerslam (Post match: Terry Funk approaches The Movement) Funk: "Ladies and Gentlemen, it's my honor to speak with the one and only AWA World Tag Team Champions, the Movement. Guys, tonight you'll be defending these titles against the extremely popular duo of Wendell Cooley and Mr. Olympia…..what do you have in store for them? Whatley: "First off….let me just say that the honor is all ours being interviewed by a man of your stature Mr. Funk, instead of that goofy Charlie Platt or that fat stooge Joe AlPacino….this is truly a pleasant surprise….however before I get to tonight's challengers…..let me just say what an injustice it is that our brothers….Brickhouse Brown, Koko Ware, and Norvell Austin aren't here with us today due to their suspension that was nothing more than a cowardly act by the man…to once again hold them back from succeeding in a business that wasn't meant for 'US' to excel in…yet here stands Tiger and myself succeeding in spite of people like Les Thatcher and Bill Watts! So, Brick…Koko…and Norvell….don't let them hold you down my brothers….we have and shall continue to overcome." Funk: "Wow, that was very inspiring Pez….heck, it makes me wanna go fight 'the man' right now." Conway: "Thanks Terry….but we've got this….much like we've got this tonight against Wendell Cooley and Mr. Olympia." Whatley: "Oh, we've got it alright….despite the fact these two were thrown together this week and now they are getting a World title shot…..a World title shot that we had to scratch, crawl, and fight for…..they just win one match and now they are #1 contenders….while a team that has been winning and earning a rightful title shot….got 'suspended'. How convenient, You see what I mean Mr. Funk?" Funk: "I sure do….and I have to say that's just disgraceful how these jive turkeys try to do a brother." (Conway and Whatley both give each other a look) Conway: "……exactly……anyway, tonight we're going to defend these belts and march right on…and you know why, Terry?" Funk: "Why is that?" Whatley: "Cause we'll be damned if we lose our WORLD titles to some guy named Wendell….and a convict too scared to show his face on tv…..see you down the road Mr. Funk." Funk: "Right on, brothers!" (Raises his fist as Whatley and Conway try to hurry off camera without laughing) ======================= COMMERCIAL BREAK ======================= MATCH #2: AWA Continental Television Championship "Exotic" Adrian Street defeated "Cowboy" Don Bass w/Col. Buck Robley by submission with a 'Boston Crab' ======================== Terry Funk rundowns the card for tonight's show ========================= MATCH #3: MAIN EVENT The Magnificent Muraco w/Mr. Fuji pinned Porkchop Cash with a school boy roll up and handful of tights Platt: "Fans, we apologize but that's all the time we have for this week…..get to the Knoxville Civic Center tonight, if not join us again next week right here on TBS for more Continental Championship Wrestling!!" © 1984 AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Continental Championship Wrestling Presents 'Smoky Mountain Massacre' Civic Center Knoxville, Tennessee Saturday September 14, 1984 Bell Time: 7:30pm Mike Jackson pinned "Gentleman" Ken Timbs with a sunset flip off the top rope Eight Man Tag Team Match Magnificent Muraco/Super Black Ninja/The Grapplers w/Mr. Fuji defeated Steve Olsonoski/Porkchop Cash/Nelson Royal/Bugsy McGraw when Muraco pinned McGraw after a knee off the top rope AWA Continental Television Championship- RETURN MATCH "Exotic" Adrian Street w/Ms. Linda pinned Lars Anderson w/Gen. Skandor Akbar with a backslide Special Challenge Match The Sheepherders (Butch Miller/Luke Williams) w/Akbar & Flag Bearer Tony Falk defeated Scott & Steve Armstrong after Miller struck Scott with the flagpole behind the ref's back and got the pin GRUDGE MATCH King Kong Bundy w/Akbar wrestled One Man Gang to a double count out AWA World Tag Team Championship The Movement (Shaska Whatley/Tiger Conway Jr) defeated "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley/Mr. Olympia when the 'Bruthahood' (Brickhouse Brown/Koko Ware/Norvell Austin) came out of the crowd and interfered despite being suspended….after the match the 'Bruthahood' were escorted out of the building by local police and charged with "Criminal Trespassing" AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship Brad Armstrong pinned "The Great" Al Madril following a 'Russian Leg Sweep' SEMI-MAIN EVENT LOSERS LEAVE TOWN- No DQ/NO Count Out (Southeastern Title vs. Continental Tag Titles) The Stud Stable (Hercules Hernandez/Robert Fuller/Jimmy Golden) w/Ron Fuller defeated The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes/Buddy Roberts/Terry Gordy) when after 21 minutes the match broke down into a six way brawl…Roberts was fighting with Golden on the floor….Hayes and Robert Fuller were fight up the aisle…while Gordy and Hernandez were going toe to toe in the ring when Al Madril ran into the ring with a rag that he clearly stopped and sprayed some sort of substance on and then jumped on Gordy's back and placed the rag over Gordy's face……who eventually went down….allowing Hercules to cover him for the 1-2-3!! As a result Hercules is the new AWA Southeastern Champion….and the Freebirds must leave Continental Wrestling!! MAIN EVENT Continental Heavyweight Championship Title vs. Mask The Bullet pinned "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel with a small package to win the championship….and the Bullet quickly exited through the crowd before the entire Stud Stable could hit the ring and try to remove his mask!

Blehschmidt Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Seriously though... That Funk shit was amazing. Nothing but gold so far. Muraco, Ninja, and The Grapplers is one hell of an 8 man unit. Glad to see the Herders being portrayed dangerously, and Falk as the flag bearer is great. Bundy and Gang double count out is perfect, as I can just see the two big bastards pounding away at each other on the floor. Bruthahood helping The Movement get the win is perfect, and Criminal Trespassing is gonna lead to some fantastic promo's Madril falls short again, I hope he tells us about it in the Fiesta Garden next week! Holy Shit! The Freebirds are gone!!! Hercules is the Southeastern Champion! What the Hell Just Happened!!!! Bullet beats Landel for the title and keeps his mask, the Stable is gonna be pissed!!! Great Shit as Always!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazymax Jack Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hey looks, when you kick a show off with Timbs vs. Mike Jackson and that's the "worst" match on the show, you know you've got pretty damn good show... Great match between Bundy and the Gang when both guys could really move around the ring... Something about seeing Muraco with a Ninja that just works... Vince dropped the ball on that in WWF in real life... Muraco could have sent Ninjas after Steamboat.... Though we did get that one karate vignette where Ricky beat up Ninjas, but without Muraco commentating it just wasn't very good... I had fun envisioning that here... I know, I need a life... Stud Stable make the Birds fly the coop. Good stuff.... Madril is SO underrated as a performer by most who didn't see him during his prime... Great match here with Brad... The Armstrongs continue to shine as Scott & Steve have another great bout with the Sheeps on the same card... The Bullet wins the title, but he's at risk of losing his mask at any given time. He will have to balance protecting his belt with protecting his mask. Great night of action from opener to the main.... Good use of all the Armstrongs.

kevinmcfl Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 AWESOME! Your tv show did such a great job of hyping up the show in Knoxville, I was looking for tickets and didn't care about the 10 hour car ride. How do you do it? You nail every interview. In the old project you had us all laughing with Eric Embry and now here between Landell and Funk... Love it! Like how you kept your midcard feuds going as KKB and One Man Gang would be an awesome show 7 days a week, and also the Sheepherders causing some chaos with the Armstrongs would be fun. Nice Mike Jackson get some run on a major show. I always thought he did a nice in-ring job. I had a feeling the Birds were gone... too bad... Freebirds in Alabama just seems right ... but so does the Stud Stable. The Bullet is flirting with danger! He better have eyes in the back of that mask like if he had the WWE 24/7 title as Landell is coming for blood... or maybe he is mad at Fuller for making the match in the first place....

spaldoni Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 LOL, yea Terry Funk might get line of the year with "Jive Turkeys" That was just to funny! Continental does it again with Smokey Mountain Massacre. Love that team of Muraco/Ninja and the Grapplers along with Fuji. What a visual. Street seems to be winning his feud with Lars. Sheepherders might be suspended from TV but they pick up a strong house show win over the Armstrongs. Bundy and OMG's feud continues. Nothing resolved...yet. The Movement shows off their strength in numbers as they take down Cooley and Olympia. Brad gets a great win over the Great One. Great One rebounds from his loss and plays a huge factor in sending the Birds packing. The Stud Stable was riding high until Bullet spoils everything and takes the title from Landel! Bullet will need allies as I'm sure the entire Stud Stable will be gunning for him, the title and his mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneJackson95 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Television WTVY Ch. 4 Studio Dothan, Alabama Taped at 10am/Airing at 3pm on Saturday September 21, 1984 on Superstation WTBS and other Television outlets across Alabama/Mississippi/East Tennessee/North Florida Host: Charlie Platt Guest Co-Host: Terry Funk Ring Announcer: Rick Stewart Interviewer: Joe Pedicino AWA Continental Commissioner: Les Thatcher (the show opens with highlights of the Bullet defeating Buddy Landel in last week's Mask vs. Title match to become the new Continental Heavyweight Champion….we then go to the opening montage and to the desk where Charlie Platt sits alone at the moment) Platt: "Hello and welcome once again to Continental Championship Wrestling, I'm Charlie Platt soon to be joined by my co-host Terry Funk who is running late today…..so with that in mind let's go to the ring for our opening bout featuring the brand new Continental Champion, the Bullet." MATCH #1: Continental Champion The Bullet defeated Dewey Cox with a sleeperhold (Afterwards: The Bullet makes his way over to the interview area with the returning Joe Pedicino) Joe: "Bullet, congratulations on winning the title…..and also successfully defending it in rematches this week against Buddy Landel." Bullet: "Welcome back Joe, it's good to have you back and it's good to be standing here with the Continental title belt and still in possession of the mask in spite of the best efforts of the so called 'Nature Boy' and his cronies in the Stud Stable…" (As Joe is getting ready to ask another question Terry Funk arrives with a piece of paper in his hand) Funk: "I apologize for my tardiness but I was asked to stop by and pick up this letter from our esteemed former champion, the one and only 'Nature Boy' Buddy Landel….if I may I'd like to read this letter here on the air in front of everyone per the request of my good friend Buddy Landel." Joe: "Bullet, do you have any objections?" Bullet: "Well….a real man would have showed up here in person to say whatever it is he has to say…..but I would expect nothing less from Buddy Landel." Funk: "Take it easy, Armstrong….just let me read what he's got here." Bullet: "I'm going to tell you one more time….it's the Bullet….not Armstrong." Funk: (rolls his eyes) "To Whom it May Concern (mostly Charlie Platt/Les Thatcher/Bob Armstrong), I cannot believe the recent events that have been allowed to take place by the so called Continental Wrestling office. I came here as a favor to my good friend and mentor Ron Fuller as well as a favor to all the wrestling fans who wanted a real champion to look up to as well as wanted to see the true Nature Boy of professional wrestling. For all my troubles, I was allowed to be constantly assaulted by an angry redneck scumbag like David Schultz…..I was insulted on a weekly basis by that nerdy local news guy Charlie Platt….and worst of all cheated out of my championship by Bob Armstrong who has been allowed to parade around with a stupid mask on and ignore the fact he's no longer allowed to compete in Continental. For all these reasons, I'm leaving Continental Championship Wrestling….please don't try to stop me or talk me out of this….my mind is made up. Perhaps in my absence you will see what you have lost and that I was the only decent thing on that second rate hillbilly 'rasslin' show that made people tune in each week. Good bye and good riddance…Charlie Platt, I hope you get an eternal case of laryngitis and spare the redneck viewers the misery of hearing your pointless ramblings while singing the praises of low lifes like the Armstrongs. Les Thatcher, you are the most inept person at your job I've ever seen and I say that having worked for Jerry Jarrett before which is really saying something….and last but not least…Bob Armstrong, I hope you lose that belt real soon and I hope you have to go back to Georgia and ride a fire truck or garbage truck or whatever it was you did before you darkened the doors of my great sport. Sincerely, "Mr. AWA" "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel P.S. Ted Turner will likely throw this show off the air when he hears I'm not on it." Bullet: "Wouldn't it just have been easier to say that Landel is a coward and he's gone home to cry about it." Funk: "Listen here Armstrong, the only coward here is a guy hiding behind a mask…..I've tried really, really hard to be a nice guy and have fun being the co-host here on this show but you parading around in this mask and screwing over my friend is really rubbing me the wrong way." Bullet: "Listen Terry, I'm done telling you I'm NOT Bob Armstrong….I AM THE BULLET!" Funk: "Don't raise you voice at me….BULLET…cause I'll be the one to end this charade in about ten seconds." Bullet: "Well if you feel froggy Mr. Funk, then jump right up." Funk: "Oh I don't wanna fight you…BULLET. My problem is with Bob Armstrong. Now if you're truly NOT Bob Armstrong….I'm sure that's of no concern to you. Why….if YOU aren't Bob Armstrong, I'm sure I could say whatever I wanted about Bob Armstrong or his family and it wouldn't effect you in the least seeing as how YOU aren't Bob Armstrong." Bullet: "He's a good man and a good friend, but I guess you're right." Funk: "Hell of course not…..if you are the Bullet and NOT Bob Armstrong….you wouldn't care if I was to go ahead and say that Bob Armstrong's kids are all a bunch of yellow egg suckin' dogs, would ya?" Bullet: (pacing a bit) "Watch it Funk….those are my friends all the same." Funk: "Why sure they're your friends…BULLET….but not your family….I mean you wouldn't get that upset if I said that Bob Armstrong's wife is a big fat ugly heifer would you??" Bullet: (balling up his fists) "That's a man's wife, Funk…you're outta line!" Funk: "Yeah, but not YOUR wife……hell, I bet you wouldn't even care if I said that Bob Armstrong's mother likes to hang out at truck stops and give the guys.." (Before Funk could finish Bullet nailed him with a big right hand knocking him to the floor as security and Les Thatcher run out to grab the Bullet) Bullet: (while being restrained) "I'll kill you Funk….you hear me! I'll kill you!!" Funk: (getting up off the floor holding his jaw with a huge grin on his face) "Well…well BULLET, it looks like Les Thatcher here is going to be looking for a new champion now." Joe: "What are you talking about Terry?" Funk: "Well, Tubby….The Bullet here…..just assaulted an announcer….and thanks to you getting pushed down by the Sheepherders, and thanks to what Les Thatcher said on this program last week…..the Bullet will now be suspended for 60 days….and since that's more then the 30 days he has to defend the title….he'll have to be stripped of the belt!!" Les: "Go to break and security, escort Terry Funk away from the set!" ============================= COMMERCIAL BREAK ============================= Platt: "Fans, it's total chaos backstage right now as the Bullet is being asked to leave the building, Terry Funk is refusing to leave the building and we've yet to hear confirmation that what Funk said was true about the Bullet being suspended although based on the statement from Les Thatcher here last week, that would seem to be the case. I didn't get a chance to mention at the top of the show, our main event today will be the Armstrongs taking on the Grapplers with the winners facing the Sheepherders tonight in Montgomery in a #1 Contender's match. However, right now we have the television debut of one of the top tag teams in the world today, The Fantastics! MATCH #2: The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton/Tommy Rogers) defeated 'Big' Tom Dugan/Mr. Tibbs when Fulton pinned Tibbs after a splash off the top rope (Post match: Joe Pedicino approaches the Fantastics at ringside) Joe: Guys, you have seen a tremendous amount of success all across the country and been champions everywhere you've been, not to mention this week you've already garnered a few big wins which has earned you a tag team title shot tonight against the Stud Stable of Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden." Bobby: That's right Mr. Pedicino and we plan to make the most out of this opportunity right of the gate." (Fuller and Golden come storming out) Fuller: "Now hold on just a second here…..so just because you've found a couple of pretty boys wearing bow ties they automatically get a title shot? Is this some sorta joke or something?" Tommy: "No joke my friend….We've beaten bigger and better than you two….and we're not afraid of this Stud Stable you've got running around." Golden: "You may have beaten bigger, but I promise you've never even been in the ring with better….and that's a fact." Bobby: "If that's true why are you two out here to complain about defending the titles against us?" Fuller: "Nobody said we were complaining….just questioning your credentials….you want some of the Stud Stable, well get ready boys cause you'll get all you want in Montgomery…I can promise you that!" ============================== (Highlights are shown of last night's AWA World Title match between Brad Armstrong and Ted Dibiase, including the pre-match challenge from Mr. Fuji and Super Black Ninja…Charlie Platt says that Brad Armstrong will here in the studio next week to address the challenge from the U.S. Jr Champion, Afterwards, Les Thatcher comes out and announces that since Terry Funk was acting in the role of an announcer that he does in fact have to suspend the Bullet for 60 days and that due to that the AWA Continental Championship is now vacant….he will have an announcement next week on how the vacancy will be filled) =============================== MATCH #3: The Magnificent Muraco w/Mr. Fuji pinned Randy Watson after an inverted piledriver (Post match: Muraco says he that whatever it is Thatcher has in mind to crown a new Continental Champion, he better be a part of it!) ================================ COMMERCIAL BREAK ================================ MATCH #4: "Wild Eyed Southern Boy" Tracy Smothers pinned Buck Nasty after a sunset flip off the top rope (Post match: Platt was interviewing Smothers about how excited he is to be able to compete "back home" here in the South after spending some time in AWA Pacific, Mr. Fuji and Super Black Ninja came out and Fuji said it's Smothers' "lucky day" because the Ninja has beaten every contender for his title in the territory so he is here to offer Smothers a title tonight in Montgomery….Smothers accepts and tells Charlie that it seems like a good move coming back to the South) ================================ MATCH #5: King Kong Bundy/Baron Von Raschke w/Skandor Akbar defeated Lonnie Jameson/Parker Williams when the Baron pinned Williams with the CLAW!

I'm not asking to be put on the card…I just want to beat up those stinking Armstrongs some more and finish running them out of here now that their Daddy is officially gone for 60 days……so I don't care if I have to pay to rent the arena after the show is over…..I'm going to walk out there, unsanctioned at the end of the night and challenge those yellow egg suckin' Armstrongs to come out and fight me and if they don't have the guts.."

Gang snatches the mic away and says, "Well that just shows what you know Akbar….because I made a couple of friends back in ICW….and one of them is here tonight!! From behind Bundy/Baron comes Gang's partner……RONNIE GARVIN!! Tag Team Challenge Match One Man Gang/Ronnie Garvin defeated King Kong Bundy/Baron Von Raschke w/Skandor Akbar by DQ when Lars Anderson hit the ring and attacked Garvin…..until Bugsy McGraw ran in to help even the odds against Devastation Inc.

Ring Announcer Rick Stewart announced the sanctioned show was now officially over but he would now turn the mic over to Terry Funk who has paid to rent the arena for the rest of the evening and hired his own referee (Ken Timbs) to officiate the next unsanctioned matches. Funk takes the mic. Funk: "Alright you egg suckin' Armstrongs…I know you're here because you just cost my friends their tag team titles…..so one of you two bring your yellow ass out here and take your beating like a man unlike your cowardly old man who likes to hide behind masks and punch announcers….then once I beat the first one…..bring on the second one!"

You're all going to pay for this!! Brad Armstrong, I will destroy you!!" (Funk jumps out of the ring and starts destroying the ringside area, flipping over the announce table, throwing chairs up in the air over his head, Ken Timbs returns to try and calm Funk down but is attacked for his troubles and given a piledriver on the concrete floor…eventually Funk is escorted away from ringside by security and local police) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Good Grief Continental is on fire! LOL, another hilarious letter from Landel. I was cracking up. That leads right into Funk/Bullet. I knew it was only a matter of time before Funk gets involved in something LOL. The man is a psychotic genius and manages to get Bullet suspended and the title off him. Muraco and Fuji are getting a lot of buzz and it seems Muraco wants the title. Smothers comes back home and accepts Ninja's title shot. Baron has arrived and immediately aligns with Akbar. Liked that Armstrongs/Grapplers match. Funk interferes and declares war on the Armstrongs! On to the Civic Center, Muraco's momentum continues as he takes Cash down. Smothers comes up short as Ninja retains. Ninja vs. Armstrong will be a classic. Oh Yea! OMG brings in his old buddy Ron Garvin! Smart move as Garvin will be more than happy to go toe to toe with Devastation Inc. Looks like Bugsy is up for the fight as well. Nothing like heel teams going at it. Sheepherder's rule breaking is a step ahead of the Grapplers tonight. Fuji and Akbar going at it is all sorts of fun. Looking forward to the Street/Madril title match next week. Herc retains against Olympia and solidifies himself as champ. NEW CHAMPS! Fantastics come in and defeat the Stud Stable! Oh man Fuller and Golden will be hot LOL. The show's aftermath was epic! Funk is NUTS! He beats Scott and Steve but wait a minute, Brad and a new ref hit the ring and Brad gets a flash pin on Funk! Funk goes insane and tears the place up and even puts original ref Ken Timbs down. Funk is going to run rampant in Continental! Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Damn, there's no way I'll ever be able to top what I just read. No wonder I'm running 2 weeks late (I'll get up to speed with my shows this week, promised.) But man, how awesome that was. Loved Terry Funk going crazy like that and actually renting the arena to get his way. That's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 The Brad Armstrong/Ted Dibiase match on the house show would have been quite the classic. Holy Crap, that Terry Funk/Bullet segment was GOLD. You have Funk down to a science, the cadence, the speech patterns. Awesome job. Nice debuts for The Fantastics and Smothers, although Tracey may want to avoid the Ninja! New Champion Coming!! Be interesting to see how we get there! Thanks Uncle Terry!! Von Raschke with Akbar is a good fit, and it will be interesting to see who Gang found to help him out. The Funker declares war on all of The Armstrongs....oh, this is going to be fun!! and we head to the Civic Center.... Muraco is on a roll, and has to be a serious contender for the title. I told Smothers to stay away from the Ninja! Oh Damn! Ron Garvin shows up to help the Gang! Here comes Lars and Bugsy, we have a nice little war brewing now! Madril secures a title shot against Street. The Fiesta Garden would look lovely with some gold in it. Wow, that Herders/Grapplers match must have been a cheating little affair. That would have been fun to see! Fantastics take the belts from the Stable!! Bobby and Tommy are wasting no time here!! and Terry steals the show again!! God Damn, what a way to close out the night. I can't wait to see where all of this going. Good Stuff Gene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Okay... you win! That can't be beat after a show like that. I wonder if Landel is truly done which at first I was upset with and then this Funk thing was just the best thing ever. Love it! Wonder if the Bob or the Bullet is suspended? Can't wait for the next show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazymax Jack Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 You couldn't find a bad match on this card! Love how Hercules is being used here... Olympia had a great physique himself but he can't match the power of the mighty Hercules!!! Fantastics vs. Stud Stable... I'll take that all day every day... Brad Armstrong outsmarts the Funker at the end of the show and there will likely be hell to pay... A fun angle to set up more between Funk and the Armstrongs...

spaldoni Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Super Black Ninja continues his winning ways. Grapplers and Sheepherders get in nice wins. Cooley and Muraco is a fun match. Looks like Muraco got frustrated and DQed. Oh man I wonder who this masked man is attacking Funk??? OMG/Garvin and Bugsy win round 1 over Devastation Inc. Herc retains against Street. Loving Herc as Southeastern champ. Fantastics and Stud Stable look like they're heading into a wild feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
