AWA Major League Wrestling

[LowBlowPodcast]

Fun, focused show building to Title Night in Alaska. Colon opened hot calling out Col. DeBeers, Equalizer crushed his opponent, and we got the debut tease for the Missouri Tiger. Burke vs. Parsons stole the night — great bout ending in controversy with Jackie’s distraction giving Iceman the win.

Tribal Nation kept the fire on the Guerreros, Latin Desire and the Heavenly Bodies brawled in a good pre–Title Night tease, and Garvin/Slater demanded tag title shots. Cactus Jack closed the feud with Golden, hitting back-to-back double arm DDTs for the win. Hogan, Kerry, and Muraco wrapped things up with a fiery promo on the Horsemen and Dan Spivey — AWA rolling strong into Alaska.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-7-90 

Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Huge main event as the Enforcers defend the AWA world tag titles against the Soul Patrol. The Rock n Roll RPMs team up with Tom Brandi to take on The Professionals and Tommy Jammer. Mr. Saito will be in action. Also, we'll hear comments from the AWA world champ Ric Flair. Ok, let's go to the ring. 

 

Mr. Saito vs. Ray Glader 

Saito is tuning up for his AWA world title match against Ric Flair, next week at Title Night. Saito batters his opponent with several thrusts and palm strikes before finishing him off with the Saito Suplex! 

Nelson comments that Ric Flair is going to have his hands full in Alaska when he meets Mr. Saito. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

El Canek vs. Todd Rooney 

Canek makes his return after another successful tour of Mexico. Canek looks damn good and wins the match with a gorilla press/rib breaker. 

Canek joins Larry Nelson at ringside. Nelson hypes up Canek's accomplishments and calls him the greatest wrestler to come out of Mexico. 

Boos as Gary Hart walks out. 

Nelson: Come on Gary, this isn't your time. 

Hart: I'm making it my time. Mr. Nelson, I take great offense by you claiming that this man is the greatest wrestler to come out of Mexico. I know for a fact that Konnan deserves that honor. Now, El Canek's resume is surely impressive but his time has come and gone. Konnan is the new era and with him comes a modern style of Luche Libre. It's time to bury the past and that means it's time to send El Canek into the sunset. 

Canek steps up to Gary but Gary calmly walks away. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

The RPM's and 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. The Professionals and 'Jamm'n' Tommy Jammer w/ The Vin Man 

We get a fun back and forth match. Jammer and Brandi have been at each other and tonight they get in their heated exchanges. The RPMs put their speed and chemistry in full throttle. The Professionals slow the pace with technical wrestling and submission holds. Tensions rise when the Pros and Jammer start breaking the rules along with some interference by Vinnie. This leads to a pier six brawl. Vinnie hops on the apron as the RPMs stereo dropkick the Pros out of the ring. Brandi dropkicks Jammer into Vinnie. Vinnie goes flying as Brandi rolls up Jammer 1..2..3!

Nelson: Fans, next week at Title Night, Jumbo Tsuruta gets his rematch for the International title against Stan Hansen. We just saw that Jumbo is more than ready. Let's hear some comments from Stan Hansen. 

 

Hansen's wearing his cowboy hat, has a mouth full of tobacco and the title on his shoulder. 

Hansen: Jumbo Tsuruta! I hated you in Japan and I hate you here! Next week in Alaska, I'm going to beat you to a pulp and leave you lying! There's aint no damn way you're taking this here title from me! 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Ricky Santana vs. Carl Kellerman 

Ricky once again brings the charisma and wins the match with a flying elbow drop from the top rope. 

 

Nelson: Ricky, come on over. You've been a lot of fun to watch and I know how excited you are to be in the AWA. 

Boos as Austin Idol, Gary Young and JW Storm stroll out. 

Idol: That's right daddy, the Universal Heartthrob is here along with Gorgeous Gary Young and the future JW Storm. I'm here to talk to you Ricky Santana. I have to say, you've got that cool factor darling. I'm talking Caribbean coolness brother. As you can see, I'm forming a stable of winners. I like to call this stable Austin's Idols. Now, we need one more piece to complete this puzzle and then it's on with the master plan. Bottom line is we want you in Austin's Idols baby! Come with us and trust me, you won't regret it. 

Austin, Young and Storm head out. Ricky pauses, looks around and then follows them up the aisle.

Sammartino wins the match with a belly to belly suplex. 

Sammartino cuts a promo and says he's ready to defend the TV title against Iceman Parsons next week at Title Night. He says he's also been well aware of Jacquline's constant interference and has an ace up his sleeve. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Col Debeers vs. Trent Watkins 

Debeers wins the match with a front face piledriver. 

 

Nelson: Col. Debeers, I think you've awaken a beast in Carlos Colon. He says he's going to win this war no matter what. 

Debeers: Never before have I heard such a ridiculous statement from an untouchable like Carlos Colon. He thinks because he hit me a few times with a baseball bat, that I'm going to be intimidated. Let me show you what's in store for that bottom feeder Colon. 

Debeers picks up his club. As his recent opponent Trent Watkins staggers away, Debeers nails him from behind with the club! Debeers brutally beats down on Watkins with the club until several officials run out to stop this madness. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Gama Singh vs. Neil Jordan 

Gama is now trying to get back on track as a solo wrestler. He looks crisp tonight and wins the match with the Indian Deathlock.

AWA World Tag Team Title Bout 

The Enforcers w/Tully Blanchard vs. The Soul Patrol 

Next week the Enforcers will be in the special attraction 6 man match at Title Night. The Soul Patrol were owed this title match and man they could really throw the Horsemen off their game if they win here tonight. 

The Soul Patrol bring their A game and dominate the first segment by pinballing the Enforcers all over the ring. Both Arn and Zbyszko are bumping like crazy. After getting stereo clotheslined over the top rope, Tully runs over and regroups his team. 

The Enforcers do regroup and take control. The Enforcers methodically work over Walker's arm and almost get the win when Zbyszko hammerlock slams Walker and holds his arm as Arn comes off the top rope with a knee to the arm. Luckily Jones ran in to make the save. Walker eventually tags in Jones. Jones cleans house for a while but the Enforcers come back. 

Tully runs around the ring, yanks Walker off and slams him arm first into the steel post. In the ring, Zbyszko executes a swinging neckbreaker on Jones. Arn swings Jones to the ropes and hits the spinebuster for the win! 

Tully snatches the titles, gets on the ring and hands them to the Enforcers. 

Hold on! 

Ted Arcidi and the Power Twins come out. Dave picks up Walker and bearhug runs him into the steel post. Power Twin Larry gets in the ring and bearhug slams Jones into the mat. Arcidi leads them out as the Horsemen laugh. Tully, Arn and Zbyszko head to ringside. 

 

Tully: Hogan! Von Erich and especially you Muraco! I hope you were watching because you're all next! 

Zbyszko: You three spudheads aren't going to Alaska, you're coming into Larry Land and you're not coming out! 

Arn: The bigger they are, the harder the Horsemen put down! Muraco! You're out of your depth! And as for you Von Erich. You're going to rue the day you ever got in the Horsemen's business. That's a promise from Dan Spivey! And as for you Hogan. We're going to see to it that you never get that world title shot! 

Tully: That's a fact! And a painful one! 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Nelson: Wow, what a show this has been. Listen to this. Next week, the British Bombers will face Buzz Sawyer and the Missing Link. My goodness! Also, we'll see the debut of the Missouri Tiger. Now, next Saturday's Title Night in Alaska, Ric Flair will defend the AWA world title against Mr. Saito. Let's hear comments from the world champ, Ric Flair. 

 

Flair's wearing a suit with the title on his shoulder. 

 

Flair: You know there's a lot going on in the AWA and everybody wants to know what's causing all this! That's what happens when the Nature Boy's wearing the gold! I've defended this title all over the world and next stop is Alaska. Mr. Saito, I can outwrestle you! I can outclass you and brother I can out party you. I'm taking you to school in Alaska and it's as simple as that. Then I have to wonder, who's left. Well, one thing's for sure, it's not going to be you Hulk Hogan. Hahahahaha WOOOOO!

Saito looking strong.

Hart's interruption sets up a battle of the luchadores.

Vinnie costs his client, not the first time.

Jumbo smashes a fool while Hansen has some strong words for his challenger.

After a bit of hesitation, Santana becomes Austin's newest idol.

Sammartino says he's ready for both the Iceman and Jacky.

Debeers sends a violent message to Colon.

Solid showing by Singh.

Ironic that Tully is the only Horsemen without a title but he's become MVP during their title matches. Delightfully scummy moves by Arcini and the Power Twins to pick the Soul Patrol's bones.

Back to back promos by the Horsemenm what a way to close the show!

Great show.... Saito is a great choice for a title match as everyone could see him beat anyone on any given day.  He was one tough looking dude!

Love the "who's the best wrestler from Mexico" angle.  This could be fun!

Really looking forward to Superclash!
