GeneJackson95 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 QUICK TV RECAP: AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Television WTVY Ch. 4 Studio Dothan, Alabama Taped at 10am/Airing at 3pm on Saturday September 28, 1984 on Superstation WTBS and other Television outlets across Alabama/Mississippi/East Tennessee/North Florida Host: Charlie Platt Ring Announcer: Rick Stewart Interviewer: Joe Pedicino AWA Continental Commissioner: Les Thatcher Show opens with Charlie Platt joined by Les Thatcher…..Thatcher says he has two big announcements. #1 is there will be a 16 man tournament tonight in Birmingham to crown a new AWA Continental Heavyweight Champion due to the 60 day suspension of the Bullet last week. The first round matches will be announced shortly right here on television. The second announcement is….due to the incident with Terry Funk last week and the fact he has chosen to be a part of the active roster here in Continental and the fact that Ronnie P. Gossett is still unavailable….Thatcher says he reached out to a wrestler who has been out of action for several weeks now and even though he's not allowed to wrestle in Continental at this time he can certainly be an announcer so Les introduces the new co-host for the show…..BOB ARMSTRONG!! Armstrong comes out and thanks Les Thatcher for the opportunity to feed his family since he hasn't been able to wrestle all this time, Armstrong says he's excited to be here and to see who becomes the champion tonight, because two of his sons will be competing for the title. Terry Funk comes storming out in a rage…..Funk asks Thatcher "what the hell is going on around here???" He point outs that last Saturday night he beat "Bob Armstrong's yellow bellied sons fair and square in the middle of the ring until Brad showed up unannounced and attacked me when I thought it was over like the sorry coward he really is!" Bob Armstrong said that Brad accepted his so-called 'Armstrong Challenge' and beat him at his own game and that Funk better be glad that he wasn't there because he would have "beat him like drum" and pinned him as well…..Funk gets in Armstrong's face and said "how about I beat your ass right now like I did Scott and Steve!" Charlie Platt reminds Funk that if he lays a hand on Bob Armstrong he'll be suspended for 60 days like The Bullet was last week. Funk says he "gets it"….Armstrong and his buddy Les Thatcher are messing with him by making him an announcer…..just like they were messing with him at the house shows this past week when Bob Armstrong came out with a different mask on and attacked him after he "beat up his stupid son again." Funk says it's fine….he won't play their games and get himself suspended and that in fact he plans to stick it up their a**** by winning the Continental title tonight and that somewhere along the way he will get his hands on Brad Armstrong as well. MATCH #1: The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton/Tommy Rogers) defeated Bobby/Donnie Bass w/Col. Buck Robley when Rogers pinned Bobby Bass after a splash off the top rope The Fantastics talk about their title defense tonight against #1 Contenders the Sheepherders, they say don't be fooled by their looks they can get down and dirty and fight with the best of them and tonight they are ready for war! MATCH #2: Magnificent Muraco w/Mr. Fuji pinned Parker Williams with an inverted piledriver Muraco says he came here to be a champion and tonight he has the opportunity to become the Continental Champion and that NO ONE will stand in his way! Charlie Platt pitches to Bob Armstrong who runs down the first round matches for tonight's AWA Continental Championship Tournament TONIGHT at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, AL. AWA Continental Heavyweight Championship Tournament Round 1: Ron Garvin vs. Baron Von Raschke Brad Armstrong vs. Super Black Ninja One Man Gang vs. King Kong Bundy Magnificent Muraco vs. Mr. Olympia Steve Armstrong vs. Al Madril Terry Funk vs. Adrian Street Wendell Cooley vs. The Grappler Porkchop Cash vs. Hercules Hernandez MATCH #3: Brad Armstrong pinned The Intern after a 'Russian Leg Sweep' After the match, Mr. Fuji, Don Muraco, and Super Black Ninja come out to the desk……Muraco says that the match has been signed for next Saturday with Super Black Ninja challenging for the AWA World Light Heavyweight Championship in Panama City, Florida but first Super Black Ninja will beat Armstrong tonight in the first round of the Continental title tournament. Armstrong says that next week is just that….next week….but tonight, Ninja is just obstacle standing between him and the Continental title and whether it's Ninja, Muraco, Terry Funk….or ANYONE else…he's going to win the Continental Championship tonight! MATCH #4: King Kong Bundy w/Skandor Akbar pinned Randy Watson for a 5 count Bundy says that tonight, not only will he beat his rival the One Man Gang….he'll do it with a 5 count and he'll do it on the way to becoming the champ! MATCH #5: Porkchop Cash/Tracy Smothers defeated Sammy Hall/Bad Boy Burns when Smothers pinned Hall with a sunset flip off the top rope Post match: Smothers says that he and his new buddy Porkchop Cash have decided to team and go after the tag team titles and that they have a lot of respect for the Fantastics and would love to test their skills against them somewhere down the line MAIN EVENT MATCH #6: AWA Continental Television Championship "Exotic" Adrian Street w/Ms. Linda pinned Grappler 2 with a small package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Continental Championship Wrestling Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, AL. Saturday September 28, 1984 Special Bell Time: 6pm AWA Continental Heavyweight Championship Tournament Round 1: Baron Von Raschke w/Skandor Akbar defeated Ronnie Garvin due to interference from Lars Anderson Brad Armstrong pinned Super Black Ninja w/Mr. Fuji after raising his knees when Ninja went for the Moon Sault and followed it up with a small package One Man Gang fought King Kong Bundy w/Skandor Akbar to a double count out - both men eliminated! Magnificent Muraco w/Mr. Fuji pinned Mr. Olympia with his feet on the ropes Steve Armstrong pinned "The Great" Al Madril with a flying crucifix Terry Funk defeated "Exotic" Adrian Street w/Ms. Linda by count out after giving him a piledriver on the concrete floor "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley pinned The Grappler following a running bulldog Hercules Hernandez defeated Porkchop Cash by submission with a full nelson Round 2: Brad Armstrong pinned Baron Von Raschke w/Akbar with a backslide Magnificent Muraco receives a 'bye' into the semi-finals due to both Gang and Bundy being eliminated Terry Funk defeated Steve Armstrong due to Scott Armstrong coming to ringside and throwing in the towel after Funk hit Steve's knee with the branding iron early in the match behind the ref's back…and then Funk spent the rest of the match working over the right knee before finally going for the spinning toe hold….Steve refused to submit causing his brother Scott to come out and throw in the towel to prevent a potentially career ending injury. "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley pinned Hercules Hernandez with a sunset flip in a huge upset victory eliminating the Southeastern Champion from the tournament! Semi-Finals: Brad Armstrong defeated Magnificent Muraco w/Mr. Fuji by DQ when Fuji was caught by the referee hitting Armstrong with his cane….after the match as Armstrong was leaving ringside, Super Black Ninja appeared in the aisle and spewed green mist in the eyes of Brad Armstrong……Announcer Bob Armstrong and Scott Armstrong came down to assist Brad in getting back to the dressing room due to being blinded by the mist. Terry Funk pinned "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley after a piledriver SEMI-MAIN EVENT AWA Continental Tag Team Championship The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton/Tommy Rogers) fought the Sheepherders (Butch Miller/Luke Williams) w/Skandor Akbar & Tony Falk to a 'NO CONTEST' when all four men started brawling in the ring and the referee could not regain control….Bobby Fulton was bloodied by the time this was over after being rammed head first into the ring post MAIN EVENT AWA Continental Heavyweight Championship Tournament Finals Brad Armstrong vs. Terry Funk Terry Funk entered the ring first……Brad Armstrong had to be led back down to the ring by his father and brother Scott as his left eye was bandaged and he was said to have limited vision in his right eye at the moment due to the mist from Super Black Ninja…..Brad says he refuses to forfeit and that he will compete in this match, he tells both Bob and Scott that no matter what happens, they better not throw in the towel like Scott did to Steve earlier tonight or he will NEVER forgive them. They hesitate but finally agree and are told to leave ringside…..as soon as the bell rings Funk charges at Brad and goes on the attack by throwing Brad out to the floor……he follows him out and starts to grind Armstrong's face into the concrete and then proceeds to bite at the right eye of Brad…before throwing him back into the ring…..Funk continues his attack in what is a pretty lopsided match due to Brad being almost completely blinded before the match by Super Black Ninja….after several minutes, Funk yells out…"It's time to put him down!!" Funk goes for a piledriver but Brad reverses it with a backdrop…..he nails Funk with a dropkick….and then mounts him and rains down punches on him…the referee eventually grabs Brad's arm to stopping him from punching which allows Funk to gouge Brad in the eyes…Funk then nails the piledriver for the 1--2--3!! Your winner and new AWA Continental Heavyweight Champion…..TERRY FUNK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Well, the Funker was right. He was able to stick it to the Armstrongs once again. He can give a bit of a thank you to Super Black Ninja but I got the feeling this is far from being over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Brilliant booking all around leading to Terry Funk picking up the Continental Title. This war with The Armstrongs just continues to get more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Great opening to the TV segment. Very creative with Armstrong on the mic... Funk was great here! Awesome match ups in the tourny. Tried to guess the outcomes and I must say I did pretty good but that didn't take away from your right up at all. Loved the mist in Brad's eyes and the towel being thrown in by the brother. A nice sense of sympathy for Brad as he had to be guided to the ring, Funk vs the Armstrongs is a great read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Great job with the TV hyping up the tournament. Also the plot thickens between Bob Armstrong and Terry Funk. The fans got their money's worth with some dream tournament match ups. Funk is ruthless as he makes it to the finals while Armstrong's odds are slim as he gets the mist from Super Ninja. Brad tries his best but the Funker is just to much as he piledrives his way to the title!! Terry Funk as champion is such a perfect choice in Continental. Cant wait for the reign of Funk!

GeneJackson95 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Television WTBS Studios Atlanta, Georgia Taped at 10am/Airing at 6:05pm eastern on Saturday September 28, 1984 on Superstation WTBS and other television outlets across Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia/East Tennessee/North Florida Host: Gordon Solie Color Commentary: Charlie Platt Ring Announcer: Rick Stewart Interviewer: Joe Pedicino AWA Continental Commissioner: Les Thatcher (Show opens with a scene from a press conference labeled 'previously recorded'. Joe Pedicino is standing at a podium, he says the reason there's been no wrestling on TBS the past couple of weeks is because Jim Barnett has purchased Continental Championship Wrestling and has merged it with Georgia Championship Wrestling. He says that the Continental show will now be airing at 6:05pm eastern on Saturday nights featuring your favorite stars from CCW, some of the stars you've come to know on GCW, and some new faces as well. The show will be hosted by Gordon Solie and Charlie Platt. He said as Bill Watts announced on television this week, World Class Wrestling will be taking over the Sunday 6:05pm slot. Pedicino said that World Class and Continental will be working together on some more joint ventures in the near future but first coming up on Sunday October 27th, Continental will present a live special entitled, 'Clash of the Champions' which will feature seven championship matches! More on the Clash to come.) (A brand new opening montage plays and we go to our hosts Gordon Solie and Charlie Platt) Solie: "Hello and welcome to Continental Championship Wrestling, we want to thank all the great fans of both Continental and Georgia Championship Wrestling for joining us and we plan to bring you some of the best wrestling action in the AWA today." Platt: "That’s exactly right Gordon, we're excited to join forces with Mr. Barnett and the great fans here in Georgia….there's been some great action happening over here in Georgia for quite some time." Solie: "Speaking of such, I want to inform everyone during our hiatus from television, a man who has been on quite the roll in Georgia Championship Wrestling, Harley Race has won the AWA National Heavyweight Championship over the former champion, Butch Reed." (This announcement brings out 'The Family' Harley Race, Arn & Ole Anderson, along with their manager Paul Ellering) Ellering: "As you can see, while Georgia Championship Wrestling may have been consumed by Continental Wrestling…which I don't quite understand since it was Jim Barnett who purchased their promotion….regardless of who owns what promotion wise….the fact is THE FAMILY owns the National Championship currently around the waist of Harley Race and the National Tag Team Championships that reside here on the shoulders of the Andersons. That's a fact that will not change regardless of who signs the checks." Race: "That's exactly right Paul…..the Family are the elite group in professional wrestling. All this merger means is more wrestlers and fans will learn why we are exactly what we claim to be….the greatest professional wrestlers on 'God's green earth." Ole: "Gordon Solie, tonight in Marietta…Arn and myself have got the Nightmares…..There's no denying they are a good team. They truly are two good wrestlers, but tonight they will learn what every tag team in Continental Wrestling will soon learn….the Andersons aka The Minnesota Wrecking Crew are your next AWA World Tag Team Champions." Arn: "That is not an opinion Charlie Platt, that is indeed a fact. You see just like Ole said…teams like the Nightmares are GOOD……but teams like the Andersons are GREAT! So, Les Thatcher….line up all your good teams….bring them all….The Armstrongs, The Goatherders, The Fantastics, The Grapplers, Fuller and Golden, and the list goes on and on….line 'em up….we'll knock 'em down. As for the Movement, if you say you've got a problem with 'the man' then you certainly have a problem with us…..but if you put those titles on the line against the Andersons, you'll learn what being 'held down' really means….at least for three seconds." Ellering: "And just to show that the Family is more than just talking about it…..Harley Race is putting out an open challenge right here on television in the main event……and whoever steps up will get a shot at the National title." ========================================== MATCH #1: The Andersons (Arn/Ole) w/Paul Ellering defeated Randy Watson/Roy Munson when Arn pinned Munson after a spinebuster ========================================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ========================================== Solie: "Something else that took place in the past two weeks was extremely shocking Charlie." Platt: "It certainly was. Super Black Ninja has been an extremely dominant AWA U.S. Jr Heavyweight Champion, however when he recently challenged the AWA World Lightheavyweight Champion Brad Armstrong, not many people thought he could defeat the more experienced champion…but perhaps due to Brad being so wrapped up in his family's feud with Terry Funk…Super Black Ninja pulled off the upset of a lifetime and he is the new AWA World Lightheavyweight Champion." (A clip rolls as Solie/Platt discuss showing Ninja getting his foot on the rope after Armstrong covered him following a 'Russian Leg Sweep'……as Brad went to the top rope, Terry Funk came down the aisle and taunted him with the Continental Championship belt, causing Armstrong to dive off the top rope out onto Funk on the floor….Brad rained down punches on Funk but as he went to stand back up, it seemed he tweaked his knee diving out to the floor, as he rolled back into the ring, Ninja swarmed him….and went to work on his knee….Funk tried to get into the ring but was stopped by the referee….as the ref was preoccupied with the Funk, Fuji handed his cane into the Ninja who broke it over Armstrong's knee, and then locked him in a modified Indian death lock….Armstrong didn't give up but finally passed out and the ref had no choice but to award the match and the championship to Super Black Ninja) Solie: "Right now, we want to bring out our fellow announcer Bob Armstrong to talk about this recent title change." (Bad to the Bone plays as Bob Armstrong makes his way out in a suit and tie) Platt: "Bob, I know that had to be tough to watch considering this whole thing started due to an issue between Terry Funk and yourself and now your sons are involved and it's ultimately cost Brad his World Lightheavyweight Championship which I know was a huge point of pride for you and the family." Bob: "You know every time I think Terry Funk can't stoop any lower he somehow tops himself. This was a disgrace and if I could I'd love to step between those ropes with Terry Funk and teach him a lesson his daddy Dory Sr. should have taught him a long time ago." (Funk makes his way out to the set) Funk: "Well well….just as I would suspect…'Blubberin' Bob is out here crying because his boy got beat by the Super Black Ninja….if you're so mad at me Bobby, how about you do something about it you coward!?!?" Armstrong: "You know good and well….we're both in place right now where neither of us can do anything….if you touch me you're suspended and if I touch you….I'll be fired as an announcer." Funk: "Well, as usual Bobby….you're half right….you're right, I can't touch you and you can't touch me…..but I stopped by the bank this morning and took out some cash…..and I talked to a couple of guys who are looking to head over to the coast for a while and was looking to make some quick cash on their way out…" (As Funk finished that sentence…Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden rushed Bob Armstrong and attacked him…they managed to get some licks in before giving him a spike piledriver on the studio floor as Scott/Steve Armstrong along with Tracy Smothers/Porkchop Cash run out to make the save but it appears to be too little too late as Bob has to be carried out on a stretcher during the commercial break) ===================================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ===================================== MATCH #2: One Man Gang pinned Memphis Monroe with the '747 Splash' Post match: Pedicino interviewed Gang who says tonight in Marietta, there will be no more count outs with King Kong Bundy as they will face off in a 'Lumberjack Match' and if he gets half a chance to get his hands on Akbar, he's going to make the General pay for everything he's done to him. ====================================== (Card for tonight in Marietta, GA) Saturday Oct. 19- Marietta, GA.

Blehschmidt Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 The Continental/Georgia merger starts off with a bang!!! Dig the press conference to start things off, and Clash of the Champions should be killer. Race and The Andersons with a fantastic promo to kick us off. A definite force to be reckoned with! Super Black Ninja brings home the gold thanks to The Funker, and the young Mr. Muta will have quite the schedule now. The Bullet and The Funker's game of "I'm not touching you" just got real! Funk pays off Fuller and Golden on their way out the door to take out Bob! Terry wins this round!! OMG looking to take out Akbar, The Adorable One looking for Madril. Things may get ugly in Cobb County tonight! Race and Ronnie go to TV time, and it's on for tonight!!! On to Cobb County..... Cash and Smothers get a huge win and Fuji is pissed! Andersons put down the Nightmares, Gang beats Bundy! Street gets the pin Madril! These two are going one on one again soon. Holy Shit! Garvin beats Race for the National Title!! Huge win for Ronnie!!!! Fantastics beat the 'Herders, but the real news is OMG splattering Akbar on the canvas! Funk and Brad go to a no contest, and this is FAR from over. Great show. I think the new direction is going to be a ton of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 TBS/GEORGIA and CCW fit like a glove! Funk paying off Fuller and Golden to attack an Armstrong seems so right in the world of CCW The poor Lumberjacks trying to keep Bundy and OMG in the ring Like how quickly the Family is being born.

spaldoni Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Huge announcement as CCW merges with Georgia! Oh man the fans win on this deal. Ellering has a top notch tough stable with all the National champs (Race and The Andersons) Super Black Ninja is the new AWA LHW champ! Funk is going to be the Armstrong's most wanted man. Traveling around the AWA is going to develop Ninja into a huge star. Feuds continue between OMG/Bundy, Street/Alberto and Sheepherders/Fantastics. Clash of Champions will live up to the name is all titles will be on the line. Television time remaining wasn't enough time for Garvin and Race. The big angle tonight was Fuller and Golden giving Bob the spike piledriver on the concrete!!! Funk masterminds this and gets even more heat with the Armstrong family, if that's possible. Big card at the Cobb. Baron opens the show with the claw. Yea, Smothers and Cash over the Grapplers would have to be considered an upset. Fuji not pleased. It's going to be hard getting the titles off the Andersons. Nightmares found that out. Good grief! OMG powerslams Bundy for the decisive win. Street/Cooley and Olympia take down Fuller/Herc and Alberto. WOW! Garvin beats Race for the National title! Garvin's stock just went through the roof. OMG was on fire tonight as he splashes Akbar! The fans must of went crazy! Fantastics/Sheepherders will fight another day. What a main event as Funk and Armstrong battle to a wild no contest! This war is far from over.

GeneJackson95 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 SORRY GUYS....MY LAPTOP COMPLETELY SHIT OUT ON MY THIS WEEKEND WHILE I WAS WRITING THESE SHOWS AND I JUST NOW GOT IT BACK UP AND HAD TO RE-WRITE TWO OF THEM....I'M GOING TO PUT THEM ALL OUT HERE AT ONCE AND THEN I PROMISE I'LL SPEND THE NEXT TWO DAYS GETTING CAUGHT UP ON READING AND LEAVING FEEDBACK FOR THE OTHER SHOWS! THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE!! ======================================================================================= AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Television WTBS Studios Atlanta, Georgia Taped at 10am/Airing at 6:05pm eastern on Saturday October 26, 1984 on nationwide Superstation WTBS and at various times on other television outlets across Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia/East Tennessee/North Florida Host: Gordon Solie Color Commentary: Charlie Platt Ring Announcer: Rick Stewart Interviewer: Joe Pedicino AWA Continental Commissioner: Les Thatcher (the opening montage rolls and as it finishes up instead of going to Gordon Solie and Charlie Platt….we go directly to the Fiesta Garden with 'the Great' Al Madril and Hercules Hernandez) Madril: "Hola…and welcome back to the most popular show on television and the reason you are all tuned in right now…of course it's the Fiesta Garden! It's been a while but they finally decided it was time to bring the most popular show on tv right here to the Superstation. Now before we get started, I have to introduce the man standing beside me…..my partner in crime…..mi amigo and mi familia the one and only Southeastern Champion, Hercules Hernandez…..say hello Hercules!" Hecules: "Hello Hercules…" Madril: (covers his mouth for a moment) "That still gets me every time, you truly are a national treasure, Herc and the people love you as do I. Now, let's address a couple of things right now….the Stud Stable has fallen apart in recent weeks…..Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden seemed to intentionally get themselves suspended last week helping Terry Funk, Buddy Landel just went AWOL and has been seen on another wrestling show….and the Tennessee Stud, Ron Fuller has been nowhere to be found as of late….but you know what? That's ok. We don't need any of them, right Herc?" Hercules: "That's right, Al!" Madril: "Damn right….Hercules and myself are a stable unto ourselves! Hercules is your reigning and defending Southeastern Champion and after tomorrow night on the Clash of the Champions…I will be your Continental Television Champion…so we don't need those other guys….we've got this on our own." (Adrian Street and Ms. Linda enter the Fiesta Garden) Madril: "Street….I've told you time and time again, the Fiesta Garden is invitation only, you can't just prance out here anytime you want…..besides you're going to get enough of me tomorrow night at the Clash when I take your title!" Street: "Well….if nothing else you're confident Albie, I will give you that….but as I was sitting back there listening to you drone on and on….I couldn't help but think how much better Continental is without all those boys you listed off….the Fullers and Golden and Landel etc…..and I was thinking it would be great if we could add you to that list as well…..so how about we make this match at the Clash tomorrow night a little more interesting…..how about not only the Television title being on the line…..but how about we make it a 'loser leaves town' match as well. What do you say, Sunshine? Do you have the stones to put it all on the line, Albie? Or all you all bark and no bite?" Madril: "First of all Adrian Street…..CCW can't afford to lose me because when they see what the ratings are for this program since they started the show with the beloved Fiesta Garden, I'll be getting offered a lifetime deal with Continental….but if it means I could send you back to San Francisco or 'the backwoods of dean' or wherever you claim to be from…..I'm all for it! Sign it up, girly man." Street: "Well look at you Albie….and hear I thought that cup in your pants was as empty as Hercules skull…..but maybe you do have an ounce of intestinal fortitude..by the way it's the Royal Forrest of Dean and 'll see you at the Omni, Albie….and perhaps when the Fiesta Garden is gone, we can make room for the Bizarre Bazaar, hosted by 'Exotic' Adrian and Ms. Linda!" (Street skips off the set with Ms. Linda following behind) Madril: "Real funny Street….the Fiesta Garden is on TBS to stay and maybe if you're able to get a job somewhere else after I beat you, they'll let you have a freak show of your own. Anyway, that concludes another episode of the Fiesta Garden, I apologize for Adrian Street crashing the show….I had a very famous and sexy lady lined up to be our guest tonight but Street ruined it…..perhaps we'll get her back here next week…..so for Hercules Hernandez, I'm Al Madril saying…..some wrestlers are good….but only Alberto Madril is…..great!" =========================== (We now go to Gordon Solie and Charlie Platt) Solie: "Hello and welcome once again to Continental Championship Wrestling, I'm Gordon Solie along with Charlie Platt and what a way to kick off the show this week." Platt: "Well, no matter how you may feel about Al Madril or Hercules……they make for an entertaining duo." Solie: "No question about it….but we've got a lot to cover today….we'll be in action tonight in Birmingham, Alabama and tomorrow night we'll be back here in Atlanta at the Omni live here on Superstation WTBS for our first ever 'Clash of the Champions' where you'll witness seven title matches right here on television including both the AWA World Heavyweight Title as well as the AWA World Tag Team titles being defended." Platt: "It's going to be an exciting night of action tomorrow night but preceding that we have some great action tonight and right now we're ready to go to the ring with a very angry former AWA National Heavyweight Champion, Harley Race in action." ============================ MATCH #1: Harley Race w/Paul Ellering pinned Mike Jackson after a brutal beating that was brought to an abrupt end by a diving headbutt from the top rope Post Match: Joe Pedicino is joined in the interview area by Paul Ellering, Harley Race, and the Minnesota Wrecking Crew…Arn and Ole Anderson. Joe: "This wasn't exactly a stellar week for the Family." Paul: "I suggest you shut you mouth before the Godfather of Wrestling here shuts it for you." Harley: "Not a stellar week? Is that what you choose to call it, fat man? Ronnie Garvin got lucky, that's all it was….Garvin got lucky and Paul Ellering here didn't do his job! (Ellering looks at the floor) However, we've discussed what went wrong and we're going to make it right tonight in Birmingham…..I'll beat Garvin to regain my National title, and then when I win my title back it's onto the Clash of Champions to regain what's also mine…..the AWA World Heavyweight Championship! Ted Dibase, you are a deserving champion and a future legend in the wrestling business….but you won't make your name at the expense of Harley Race, that I can assure you of, I'm the best wrestler on God's green earth and tomorrow night you will find out first hand along with every person who tunes into to see it here on television." Ole: "That's exactly right, Harley. Harley Race is the hands down best single's wrestler walking this planet…..while the Minnesota Wrecking Crew are the best tag team in the world! Tonight, we'll show these so-called Fantastics why that's a fact and then we'll move onto the Clash of the Champions and we'll show the Movement that they're simply running around the country wearing the Anderson's belts." Arn: "I'll make the this short and sweet…..The Andersons aren't going to be defeated by anyone with a stupid name……The Fantastics are a good team but their name is stupid…..and if you think for one minute we'd allow our shoulders to be pinned by a team with one guy named Tiger and another named, SHASKA……you're dumber than they are…..this weekend the Andersons are going to do what the Andersons do best…..beat people up and win championships….your support is not wanted or needed so tune in if you'd like or don't…either way we go home with the gold and the Movement can move their butts back into the obscurity from which they came." Paul: "It's simple when you think about Joe……but so hard to argue. Good day." Harley: "and eat a salad sometime, Pedicino.." =============================== COMMERCIAL BREAK =============================== MATCH #2: Mr. Olympia pinned Roy Munson following a DDT Post Match: Olympia is approached at ringside by Rick Stewart Rick: "Mr. Olympia, tonight in Birmingham you will face the dangerous Baron Von Raschke in a match where the winner will get a shot the Southeastern Championship tomorrow night here on TBS at the Clash of the Champions, what are your thoughts?" Olympia: "My thoughts? Well my thoughts are simple, do whatever it takes to put that German down for the 1-2-3 so I can get another shot at Hercules Hernandez, I've come real close to beating him a couple of times in the past and I don't care how big and strong he is…..if I hit him with that DDT…the lights go out…and I go home the champion…those are my thoughts." ================================== (VTR- Don Muraco is sitting on the beach in Hawaii with a surf board stuck in the sand next to him) Muraco: "I came to Continental Championship Wrestling with a lot of big plans…..and some major goals to accomplish and somehow It just hasn't come together. That Continental title tournament didn't go my way and for some reason, I just couldn't get my mind right….so I decided to do what I always do when I feel unbalanced….I come back home….here to Sunset Beach, Hawaii and I get on this surfboard and somehow……things come back into focus……and you know what……it's working…I can see my prize right in front of my eyes….I just had to come home and get my mind right….so get ready Continental, I'll be back soon enough….and when I get there….there won't be any stopping me this time……You've been warned….aloha for now." (END VTR) ================================== MATCH #3: Rematch from last week "Wild Eyed Southern Boy" Tracy Smothers/Porkchop Cash defeated Bobby/Donnie Bass when Cash pinned Bobby Bass with a powerslam (Post match: Smothers/Cash join Joe Pedicino in the interview area but before anyone can say a word they are joined by the Brickhouse Brown/Koko Ware/Norvell Austin, The Bruthahood who officially return from suspension today) Joe: "Guys, I know you are returning today but this time has been set aside for Mr. Cash and Mr. Smothers." Brickhouse: "Shut your damn mouth, Pedicino! We're out here now for a reason. Even though we've been suspended we've still been tuned in to TBS keeping up with what's going on in Continental and last week we see this brutha, Poke Chop Cash out here with this redneck rebel flag carrying white boy Tracy Smothers……and it made us all sick…in fact we even got a call from Iceman Parsons asking us if we could take care of this situation for him." Cash: "Situation? Listen here….Tracy Smothers is a nice young man and he has asked me to help him along in the business and I'm more than happy to team with him and pass along my knowledge to him rather than some thugs such as yourselves." Ware: "What did you just say?? Thugs?? Old man, did you just call us thugs? You listen and listen good…..we came out here to offer you an opportunity to join us…an opportunity to right some of the wrongs in this dirty prejudice wrestling business…..but if you want to draw a line in the sand and side with a guy who I'm pretty sure has a white robe at home hanging in his closet then that's on you my brother…..now I'm getting ready for a shot at the AWA World Lightheavyweight title tomorrow night….but how about tonight in Birmingham, you and the Grand Wizard here take on Brick and Norvell and we'll teach this boy some things your old ass don’t know. How bout that?" Tracy: "You guys are very disrespectful, this flag isn't about hate…..Porkchop Cash is a great man and I'm proud to stand beside him as a partner and to learn from a veteran like him….you guys wanna match tonight….then you've got one." Brick: "Slow down Casper….I wanna hear from ol' Poke Chop here." Cash: "I stand behind Tracy 100%! You thugs wanna fight tonight then you've got one!" Brick: "If we weren't coming fresh off suspension, we'd show you some thugs right about now…..but that's just fine, we won't beat your old ass here in this tv studio…..but best believe that when we get to Birmingham tonight….we're gonna go all Alex Haley on you….it's gonna be like a remake of Roots….but when I ask you what your name is…..I don't wanna hear 'Poke Chop', you better say, 'Bobby Cash'…." Cash: "Brickhouse Brown…..I promise you this…..after tonight you will damn sure know my name!" =============================== COMMERCIAL BREAK =============================== MATCH #4: One Man Gang pinned Parker Williams after a '747 Splash' (Post Match: One Man Gang goes over to Gordon Solie) OMG: "Mr. Solie…..I was back there watching on the monitor a little while ago when Adrian Street challenged Al Madril to a 'loser leaves town' match and I thought to myself…..that sounds like a pretty good idea…I mean since I gave Akbar that splash off the top rope, nobody has seen him and I don't suspect we will anytime soon….Nobody has heard from ol' Lars Anderson lately either...so how about we make it a clean sweep and make my match with King Kong Bundy tonight in Birmingham, a loser leaves town match!" Solie: "Well Gang, I'm by no means a matchmaker but I think Les Thatcher might be inclined to hear you out on that one." OMG: "Well I'm going to go back there and find him right now and make this happen!" (Crowd pops) ================================= MATCH #5: Koko Ware w/Norvell Austin & Brickhouse Brown pinned Dewey Cox after a dropkick off the 2nd turnbuckle ================================= PROMO FOR CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS ================================= MATCH #6: AWA Continental Tag Champions The Fantastics (Fulton/Rogers) defeated The Rose Cousins (Randy/Pat) when Fulton pinned Pat after a top rope splash (Post Match: Joe Pedicino approaches the Fantastics) Joe: "Nice win for the Continental Tag Champions here today, guys tonight you square off against the National Tag Team Champions the Minnesota Wrecking to crew to decide who gets a shot at the AWA World Tag Team Champions, The Movement at the Clash of the Champions tomorrow night." Fulton: "The Andersons act like it's a forgone conclusion they'll be facing the Movement. They say we have a 'stupid name'. That's just fine….underestimate us…..make fun of our name….but we didn't get to be the Continental Tag Team champions because we can't go in that ring. Ask the Sheepherders about the Fantastics….ask the Grapplers about the Fantastics…..we've held those belts you currently hold Andersons……but tonight neither of our titles are on the line, it's about those World tag team titles and we'll fight you with everything we have to go on to face the Movement and put those World titles right here around our waists!" ================================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ================================== (When we return from the break, Solie and Platt talk about last week's attack on Bob Armstrong by Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden….and show a clip….they go on to say that Fuller and Golden have been suspended for 60 days and then pitch to a VTR from Bob and Brad Armstrong) (VTR- Bob Armstrong is in a neck brace sitting in a recliner as Brad Armstrong is sitting in a chair beside him wearing sunglasses to hide the damage suffered from the 'poison mist' from the Super Black Ninja) Bob: "Terry Funk…I've always known what kind of a man you are….and that answer is…not much of one….but recently you've really shown just how much of low down sorry excuse for a human being you really are……you had a problem with me and the only way you could figure out how to solve it was to get me suspended….but that wasn't good enough you started trying to take it out on my sons……you cost my son Brad here his AWA World Lightheavyweight Championship that he worked so hard to defend all across the globe…..your Japanese buddy nearly blinded him in the process….and then what did you do? You paid Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden to attack me and nearly break my neck in the process…..I don't know how long it will take me to recover from this neck injury and I don't even know if there's a way I'll ever be reinstated….but right now that's not what you need to worry about…what you better worry about is the fact that you and this man sitting beside me are going to be locked into a steel cage at the Omni at the Clash of the Champions because tomorrow night in Hotlanta…..'Bad' Brad isn't just coming for your title…..he's coming for vengeance!" (Brad removes the sunglasses revealing a patch over his right eye) Brad: "Terry Funk…..it don't matter if I've got one eye…..one arm…or one leg….I'm coming to the Omni to HURT you…..at this moment I don't care about the Continental title…..I don’t care about winning…..I don't even care about losing….as long as I leave there with a piece of you….as long I know that the next day you're going to wake up with a scar that will remind you the rest of your life that the worst mistake you ever made was crossing the Armstrongs…..then I'll be a happy man……tomorrow night at the Clash of the Champions, may God have mercy on your disgusting soul because Brad Armstrong will have NONE!" (END VTR) (Gordon Solie is joined by the Continental Champion Terry Funk in the Studio) Solie: "Mr. Funk, I really hope you realize what you've gotten yourself into here." Funk: "I'm sorry Gordon Solie…is this where I'm supposed to be scared that not one but TWO guys I've beaten up and humiliated sent in a video from HOME of them whining and licking their wounds and I'm supposed to be concerned??" Solie: "Well, you didn't beat up Bob Armstrong, you had Fuller and Golden do it, and actually it was Super Black Ninja who took Brad's title and spewed the poison into his eyes." Funk: "Why hell Solie….you make a good point…why are they so pissed off at me?? They should wanna go fight those guys instead threatening poor old Terry Funk…..Those guys are real tough talking to a camera in their living room down in Pensacola…..but look whose here in the studio…..in the flesh….the champion that's who…..the Funker…..not an Armstrong to be found here today because like I've said before the Armstrongs are cowards……and they are a disgrace to my business. I'm supposed to crawl under this podium and hide because Brad Armstrong is threatening me?? I'm supposed to pray for God to have mercy on me because Bob Armstrong's kid is upset with me?? Do they know who I am Gordon Solie?? I'm a former NWA World Champion! I make movies in my spare time……my brother and my father are legends! Bob Armstrong is a former fireman who has never held a World title……NONE of the Armstrongs will ever hold a candle to the Funk family and be honest Gordon Solie…..if you had to be locked inside a steel cage and had to fight either myself or 'Sad' Brad Armstrong….who would YOU rather fight??" Solie: "Point taken Terry, I think it's time for you to head to the ring for our main event." Funk: "Solie, I'll get in that ring when I damn well please….I'm the champion and nobody tells me what to do!" (Funk wonders around the studio shoving camera men and threatening random staff members before finally getting into the ring for his main event match) ============================== MAIN EVENT MATCH #7: Terry Funk pinned 'Wildcat' Wendell Cooley after jabbing him in the throat with his branding iron behind the ref's back © 1984 AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blehschmidt Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Holy Shit! A whole lot going on in Continental!!! Madril, Hercules, and The One Man Gang all out the door. Damn. Things are changing around here quick. But they seem to be building to an exciting new direction. Starrcade is coming!! The Pringle Dynasty begins and it begins with King Kong Bundy! Hell of a start! Olympia picks up the Southeastern Title! Glad to see a renewal of the push for the masked man. Ellering takes an ass whipping from all sides! Be interesting to see where he ends up! Great promo's from Terry Funk and The Bruthahood. Huge win for The Fantastics over the Andersons. Quiet debut for Ox Baker, but he could cause some trouble here! Big debut for Abdullah, and he will definitely cause some trouble here! I can tell shit is just starting to get interesting here. Excited to be along for the ride.

kevinmcfl Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 No problem with the lab top issues. Take your time getting caught up. We look forward to reading whatever you write. As for the TV, great start. The Fiesta Garden was great. The back and forth between Street and Albie was great. Harley with the Andersons is an awesome pairing. Looks like we are on the verge of a great stable here. Will add more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the TV, great start. The Fiesta Garden was great. The back and forth between Street and Albie was great. Harley with the Andersons is an awesome pairing. Looks like we are on the verge of a great stable here. I could just picture that Muraco promo with the Surf Board. I can't wait to see a focus Magnificent One when he comes back Thu Brutherhood vs Poke Chop and the Grand Wizard was really well written. I keep saying this but I love how we have all jumped on the Movement band wagon. OMG vs Bundy.... something has to give. Fantastics-Andersons-Movement.... So hard to predict. Anyone could be on top when this is all said and done. Armstrongs-Funk.... Can't miss TV AND ON TO THE BOUTWELL SHOW Great No Contest with Brutherhood vs Cash and Smothers. So glad this angle is continuing, Pringle's annoying voice being the downfall of OMG... I could see that as he drive me crazy as a kid What a bad night for Ellering... he may need a new business. I bet he would love Animal and Hawk right about now. AND ON TO THE CLASH Must say I am going to miss the Fiesta Garden Like the Olympia as the champ but he will have his hands full with KKB A draw for Garvin vs the champ really increases his value. Nice work Abbie helping Funk means trouble for Brad but you never know... this is wrestling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 First off, I marked out for the announcement of Starrcade 84! YES! That's going to be epic! So much going on. Madril had a great and entertaining run but Street sends him packing to put an end to their long running feud. Olympia beats Herc for the Southeastern and apparently Herc is leaving with Al. Bundy sends OMG packing and now him and Pringle set their sights on Olympia. The Pringle Dynasty will cause some problems that's for sure. Looks like Race and the Andersons have severed ties with Ellering and give him a beating for good measure. The Movement always find a way to win LOL. Speaking of Movement, the Bruthahood have targeted Cash and Smothers and man they went off on Cash. Garvin looks strong as he takes Dibiase to the limit. WOW! Brad shows how tough he is and takes the fight to Funk in the cage! ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER IS HERE! OH NO! This could be a nightmare for the Armstrong's. The road to Starrcade is going to be AWESOME!

GeneJackson95 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 AWA Continental Championship Wrestling Television WTBS Studios Atlanta, Georgia Taped at 10am/Airing at 6:05pm eastern on Saturday November 2, 1984 on nationwide Superstation WTBS and at various times on other television outlets across Alabama/Mississippi/Georgia/East Tennessee/North Florida Host: Gordon Solie Color Commentary: Charlie Platt Ring Announcer: Rick Stewart Interviewer: Joe Pedicino AWA Continental Commissioner: Les Thatcher (Opening montage rolls and we go to our hosts Gordon Solie and Charlie Platt) Solie: "Hello and welcome once again to Continental Championship Wrestling, I'm Gordon Solie along with Charlie Platt and Charlie….we've got a bit of a good news/bad news scenario here tonight." Platt: "That's right Gordon…..on the bad news side the show is going to be shorter than usual tonight due to a special TBS Sports presentation coming up immediately following CCW tonight however, Jim Barnett informed us just before we went on the air that we are going to have a special guest joining us tonight before we go off the air and he says this guy is going to quote, 'blow the roof off the TBS studios'…" Solie: "Well that's certainly exciting and I can't wait to see who this person is that could blow the roof off the place….we'll also be seeing the National Tag Team Champions the Andersons in action….Adrian Street fresh off his victory over Al Madril will defend the Television Championship and we'll be seeing one half of the Continental Tag Team Champions in action, that being Tommy Rogers of the Fantastics." Platt: "That's correct, Gordon. I think we need to mention the reason that Tommy Rogers will be in singles action is because his partner Bobby Fulton was seriously injured last night in Biloxi, Mississippi in a brutal barbed wire match against The Sheepherders." Solie: "That's the thing about signing on for these dangerous matches like a barbed wire match….the odds of sustaining a serious injury is high and when you’re a champion like Bobby Fulton, it's a risky prospect as now if he's not able to get back before the 30 days is up, they could have to forfeit those Continental Tag Team titles." (The Andersons come out and interupt) Ole: "Gordon, I know we have a match coming up but I just wanted to say that no one is more disappointed than the Andersons that Fulton got injured because we were looking forward to taking those Continental Tag Titles from the Fantastics." Solie: "Well, there was a match scheduled for tonight in Pensacola where the National Tag Team titles were going to be on the line since the Fantastics managed to defeat you and Arn last weekend in the #1 Contender's Match for the World tag team titles, but before we discuss that….let's talk about what happened last weekend between you two and your manager, Paul Ellering." Arn: "You mean our FORMER manager Paul Ellering. Ellering was such a screw up that he not only caused us to lose he caused our good friend Harley Race to lose and Race was so humiliated by the loss that he's left the company…..he didn't even want to show his face here today…..so we handled the situation and now Paul Ellering can go back to managing muscle headed gym rats like he's used to managing in the past." Ole: "Enough about that loser, let's go back to something you said before…..the only reason the Fantastics managed to steal a win over us was because of that idiot Ellering, otherwise we would have destroyed the Fantastics…..AND the Movement." (Tommy Rogers comes out) Rogers: "Now wait just a minute here…..Ellering had nothing to do with your loss to us….we straight up beat you two….and when Bobby heals up, we'll be glad to do it again." Ole: "Is that a fact? Well it just shows what a goof your so called partner is that he would agree to wrestle those stupid Sheepherders in a match with barbed wire around the ring! The Andersons are wrestlers, we can beat anybody in the world inside of a wrestling ring and we don't need barbed wire or anything else to get it done! Now I suggest you take your self back to the dressing room and look at a monitor and see an example of what awaits you the next time you face the Minnesota Wrecking Crew." Rogers: "Well I suggest you find a video of our match from last Saturday night and see what will happen AGAIN when you two face the Fantastics!" ========================== MATCH #1: The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Arn/Ole Anderson) defeated Buck Jones/Frank Reynolds when Arn pinned Jones after a 'Gourd Buster' ========================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ========================== (Joe Pedicino is joined by Percy Pringle and Eric Embry) Joe: "I'm joined by a man who made his presence felt last weekend as he helped King Kong Bundy defeat the One Man Gang…." (Before Joe can finish the sentence, Pringle cuts him off) Pringle: "I have to stop you right there….I did not help King Kong Bundy do anything, I simply came down to get a closer look and watched Bundy win…I didn't help. Now….as for a proper introduction, My name is Percival Pringle the third…but my friends call me Percy..so Pedicino you can call me…..Mr. Pringle." Joe: "Very well…Mr. Pringle, obviously you are the manager of King Kong Bundy, but you also manage this man…Eric Embry." Pringle: "That's 'Flamboyant' Eric Embry! He's not only the best wrestler in the world but also the most outrageous and flamboyant wrestler in the AWA." Embry: "That's right baby, 'Flamboyant' Eric Embry is here to take all the belts and show everybody that I'm the most colorful and talented wrestler you've ever seen." (Suddenly, "Imagine what I could do to you" plays over the studio P.A. and out comes Adrian Street) Pringle: "Can we help you?" Street: (looks them both up and down) "Well for starters I guess YOU could help me remember to eat my vegetables, tubby." Pringle: "Vegetables….I figured you preferred fruit." Street: "Oh…a cheeky one, eh? That's humorous but let's get to why I came out here. No one is more flamboyant or outrageous than me….least of all this guy….it's takes more than bleaching your hair and prancing around to be flamboyant." Embry: "Ok tough guy…..I just said I'm looking for titles….I see you have a belt….how about you give me a shot at that title and I'll show you what I'm all about." Street: "Well I can already see what you're all about which isn't much….but if you want a shot at my Television title…..I'll be more than happy to tie you in knots and show YOU what I'm all about….right here….and how about….right now!" (Street skips off to the ring) Pringle: "Wait…NOW? We haven't prepared for this…how about next week?" Embry: "Don't worry Percy….I've got this!" (Embry awkwardly skips to the ring trying to copy Street) ======================== MATCH #2: AWA Continental Television Championship "Exotic" Adrian Street w/Ms. Linda vs. "Flamboyant" Eric Embry w/Percy Pringle Street is waiting in the ring as Embry saunters in…..the bell rings…Street charges across the ring and kisses Embry right on the lips…Embry is stunned, as Street hooks him into a small package for the 1-2-3….in just under 10 seconds for the win!! Street rolls out of the ring and skips away as Embry is in the ring gagging and feigning puking…as Pringle throws a tantrum! ========================= COMMERCIAL AIRS FOR STARRCADE '84 on TBS on Thanksgiving day! ========================= (Terry Funk joins Gordon Solie) Funk: "Solie, what the hell do you have going on out here??" Solie: "Things certainly got out of hand that's for sure but speaking of things getting out of hand, let's talk about what happened at the Clash of the Champions when you faced Brad Armstrong in a steel cage and right as we were going off the air, Abdullah the Butcher cut the chain and entered the cage on your behalf and attacked Brad Armstrong." Funk: "On my behalf? You assume I asked him to do that? You assume I'm friends with Abdullah the Butcher? Do you think I went to the Sudan or wherever the hell it is he's from and asked him to help me with the Armstrongs? That's crazy. I can't help that most people hate the Armstrongs and pick random opportunities to attack them." Solie: "So that's how we're going to play this?" Funk: "Gordon, I'm not playing anything. Abdullah the Butcher took it upon himself to do that….had nothing to do with me I can assure you." Solie: "How do you explain the fact that you teamed with him in Biloxi last night and will be teaming with him again tonight in Pensacola?" Funk: "So I'm the matchmaker now? You're implying I'm booking the cards for Continental now? I'm the damn champion…..not the promoter. Talk to Jim Barnett or Les Thatcher or whoever the hell runs this joint….I just show up and wrestle, I don't have anything to do with the matches here Gordon." Solie: "Ok Terry….well I'll let you go so we can get on to our next match." Funk: "Hold on now Gordon….don't go trying to get rid of me just yet…I'd like to share some good news….I hear that it's official that Bob Armstrong is so crippled up after that number that Fuller and Golden did on him that his career is likely over for good…..(Funk steps off camera for a moment and then comes back with a bottle of champagne and two glasses) So here we go Gordon, let's a have a toast to celebrate the end of the miserable career of Bob Armstrong." Solie: "I'm not going to drink to that Terry." Funk: "Come on Gordon, you'll drink to anything. Not like you haven't already had a few today." (Funk turns up the bottle and takes a big swig) Good riddance to you 'Bullet Bob', look at this way Gordon, at least he'll get great parking spots." Solie: "Ok, that's enough….let's go to the ring." ============================ MATCH #3: "Fantastic" Tommy Rogers vs. Bobby Bass About a minute into the match, the Andersons hit the ring and attacked Tommy Rogers……they put the boots to him….then picked him up and Arn held him in place as Ole came off the top rope driving the knee into the shoulder of Rogers…..finally a few undercard babyfaces hit the ring causing the Andersons to flee. ============================= COMMERCIAL BREAK ============================= (As we return from the commercial Les Thatcher joins Solie and Platt) Les: "Guys, it's been decided since the Fantastics are injured and can't compete tonight….and since the Sheepherders were the ones who beat them last night…..the only logical thing to do is give the Sheepherders the National tag team title shot against the Andersons." Platt: "Wait, your saying that tonight in Pensacola, it's going to be the Minnesota Wrecking Crew vs. The Sheepherder for the National Tag Team Titles???" Les: "That's correct!" Solie: "That's is going to be a barn burner…..if you haven't gotten your tickets for that event, there's still time….now let's go back to the ring!" =============================== MATCH #4: Magnificent Muraco w/Mr. Fuji pinned Randy Watson with the inverted piledriver As they leave ringside, Muraco stops and tells Charlie Platt…"I'm coming for gold, Charlie…I will NOT be denied!" ============================== (cut to Gordon Solie) Solie: "I understand it's time for our surprise guest so without further adieu, let's find out who it's going to be…" (The crowd goes wild as out walks……"Nature Boy" Ric Flair!) Solie: "WOW! You've got to be kidding me….the one and only 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair is here on TBS!" (Flair shakes Gordon's hand before letting out a 'WOOOOOOO!') Flair: "Gordon Solie….you just said a mouthful! The ONE and ONLY 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair and speaking of…..where oh where is Buddy Landel?? Huh?? Where is the bootleg Nature Boy? While I was up there killing myself for Stu Hart defending his title in places like Moose Knuckle, Saskatchewan…I had people calling me week in and week out telling me how this cheap knock off…this Memphis jabroni is down here calling me out? Down here knocking the Nature Boy? Having the audacity to call himself 'Mr. AWA'? Buddy Landel, I know you'll see this so you listen….and you listen good!! Ric Flair being on TBS right now even saying your name…..even acknowledging you exist is the biggest thing to ever happen to you in your career. You get that, pal?? You aren't worthy of saying my name, much less stealing my name and trying to pass yourself off as a Ric Flair knockoff. So consider this your fifteen minutes of fame where Ric Flair acknowledges your existence but you better realize this my friend….you haven't woke up to see the day that you're worthy of lacing my boots…..you got that?? I was winning World titles when you were a brown haired preliminary guy getting beat by anybody with a pulse…so you better know this….if you are ever stupid enough to show your face here again….you will regret the day you ever had the gall to compare yourself to Ric Flair. I get it you’re a fan of mine…..and on some level I can appreciate that….but understand this Landel, I'm a fan of Muhammad Ali…it doesn't mean I'm going to pretend I'm him in a boxing ring so I suggest you stay in TNT and don't cross my path because if you do…..you are going to find out exactly…..WHAT'S CAUSIN' ALL THIS!! WOOOO!" (Don Muraco strolls out with Mr. Fuji) Muraco: "Well well well….the great Ric Flair is here in Continental. You know Ric, I've been telling everybody that will listen that I was coming back down here to Continental to seize opportunities and seeing the almighty 'Nature Boy' here….I can't help but see this as an opportunity…..I know if I get you in the ring and get a win over you….not only would that get me a shot at titles here in Continental, that would put me in line for a shot at Dibiase….so how about it Naitch….why don't you take on the Magnificent one tonight in Pensacola?" Flair: "Donnie, I appreciate what your trying to do here…..and you're right, if you could beat me…which would never happen…but if it somehow did….yes, you could write your own ticket around here but I just got here, fresh off a plane from Canada….I'm not booked on any cards yet…especially not tonight…I've got dinner plans here in Atlanta so maybe some other time, ok." Muraco: "Ohhh I see. You just showed up here to ACT like a big shot and call out some guy you knew damn well wasn't here, is that it? You talk real big….but the truth of the matter is maybe Landel is more like you than you realize, you're both all a bunch of hype….just a couple of motor mouths who get the limber tail when a real man like me calls them out." Flair: (laughing) "Nice try Muraco, I've been around too long for you to get in my head with that kinda crap…..I'm sure down the line we'll step in the ring together but it won't be tonight." (Fuji gets in Flair's face) Fuji: "Ric Flair….you are coward….you have no honor, you are a disgrace…that's why Paul Orndorff ran you out of Canada.." (Before Fuji could finish Flair punched him in the face knocking him to the ground….Muraco throws a wild right hand that Flair blocks and then drills him with one of his own, Muraco recovers and leg dives Flair and they roll around on the studio floor throwing punches) Solie: "This has gone horribly wrong, we've got to take our last commercial break as we try to get order restored…..we'll be right back!" ====================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ====================== (We return from break as a Flair is red faced and disheveled) Flair: "MURACO!! You want your brush with greatness…..is that what you want Mr. Beach Bum?? Well pal, you've got it! I'm gonna charter a jet to Pensacola tonight and whether they wanna sign the match or not….I will walk down to that ring and we can wrestle…..we can fight…whatever you wanna do but you're going to find out that the Nature Boy is nobodies stepping stone….and you'll also learn what so many others before you have….it's a lot easier to jump on….than it is to jump off! It's like I always say Muraco…..to be the man, you gotta beat the man….and Donnie Boy…..You ain't man enough….to beat the man!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

You guys are a beautiful audience, it's good to be here in Panama City tonight (Crowd boos him saying the wrong town) Now I know you people would love to see me sing and dance and I'd love to do that for ya but I'm afraid this cheap promoter hasn't agreed to our going to perform so you're going to have to settle for just getting see me.

Blehschmidt Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Looks like everybody wants a piece of Olympia now that he has the gold! Poor Bobby Fulton getting Sabu'd in the barbed wire. That's no good! Fantastic Andersons promo to start the show. You've got them down pat already! Glad to see Mr. Pringle back on television, and the interaction between Embry and Street was priceless. I hope this becomes a feud and not a one time thing! Brilliant Funk interview as always, and the "Gordon you'll drink to anything" line had me rolling! Oh My, The Nature Boy has returned and he is already spitting fire!! Flair and Muraco is a fight I didn't realize I wanted to see until now!! Oh! It looks like Street and Embry will be a feud! Huzzah!!! There it is!! The Greatest of All Time, The Honky Tonk Man has come to CCW! and he has Colonel Ron with him!! It's a shame that those cheap bastards didn't cover his performance fee. Andersons and Sheepherders had to be a hell of a brawl Flair and Muraco for a half hour! Nice!! Oh Damn, Brad gets the pin on The Funker! The action is certainly hot here in Continental!! Starrcade is going to be one hell of a show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Poor Fantastics. Fulton is severely wounded and is out of action. Then the Andersons attack Rogers. Really bad luck. We get some good comedy as Street shows Embry what flamboyant is all about. LOL only Funk would come out with Champaign and toast Bob Armstrong's misfortune. He better watch out when the Bullet returns. RIC FLAIR is back on TBS! WHOOOOO! Flair has words for the other Nature Boy and then Muraco confronts him. What a segment! Show ends with a Flair/Muraco brawl! On to the Civic Center. Embry gets some payback on Street as things have only just begun. This feud is going to get bizarre LOL. Cooley pins Ox but Ox comes back with the heart punch. Ox can still deliver that fatal blow. Fuller surprises the crowd and introduces the Honkytonk Man! That's quite the duo. HTM will fit in well here. The Andersons/Sheepherders brawl would have been worth the price of admission. Flair and Muraco give the fans a classic 30 minute draw. Unfinished business. Wild main event as Brad gets the quick pin on Funk while Abby and Garvin brawl! With all this going on, Starrcade 84 could be the biggest event of the year!
