Chicky FA'd and in Puerto Rico, Colon made sure he FO'd.

Burke says he's got enough left in the tank to handle the Hangman.

The Maveriks move on.

Jackie is confident in her new man but Borne has his own sights on the 100k and that Cadillac.

Dundee & Parsons are exactly the type of team to get a bye to the finals. R.I.P Superstar.

Vinnie's moth gets him into trouble. In other news man falls in water and is surprised he gets wet.

Demolition has every right to be confident but I wouldn't overlook Norton & Rampage.

Perez is less than impressed with Cobra.

Brown takes the fight to Kokina like nobody else.

Really interesting last two weeks of TV as you are doing a great job of getting everyone excited for the Happening.  

I am enjoying the Gamma-Norman issue and you did a nice job with the promos... "My name is Norman!"  This just makes him look crazy!

WOW... Bossman with the handcuffs on the Col.  Fans would have loved this beat down.  Bossman is a great tweeener that everyone could hate or love depending on his opponent.... and here, they really love him and his heel-like beat down of one of the worst heels in the game.

Barbarian vs Warrior... I am interested to see where this goes as it means so much to the Warriors future in the AWA.  Very interesting choice.  Verne Gagne was so conservative but your AWA has been anything but.  

Can't wait to see who wins the National Tag Team Title... I know who I am rooting for.  

Bad News and Kokina in a wild in-studio brawl.  That would take some big men to break up.  So much excited in these shows.  They would have been money if I was a kid and saw this on TV.  Reminds me a lot of Southern Rasslin instead of the boring WWF I had here in NY.  I recently heard that ESPN's pick for what territory they were going to originally air came down to Vern and the AWA against the Fuller's and Continental.  Not sure if this was true, but I wish they had gone with the wild Southern promotion instead of the tuxedo wearing AWA.  Your AWA is mo much like Georgia, Texas or Alabama and I just love it.  Great job.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 9-18-91

Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight, the Mavericks take on the Tribal Nation and the winners will face the Iceman and the Superstar at the Happening in the finals for the AWA National tag team titles. We've got a huge program tonight. AWA World champ Kokina along with Adnan Al-Kassie... 

Somebody frantically runs up to Larry Nelson and says something 

Nelson: Fans, something is going down in the parking lot and we have a cameraman out there right now! 

We cut to the parking lot. The Big Bossman and Col. Debeers are brawling. Bossman hurls Debeers on a car hood. Debeers rolls over and off. Bossman goes around after Debeers but Debeers nails Bossman with a tire iron! Debeers shakes the cobwebs and starts beating on Bossman with the tire iron. Debeers is rushed by security. 

Back to Larry Nelson

Nelson: My goodness! The hatred between those two is at an all time high. I just hope this can get settled in the Bootcamp match at the Happening. (deep breath) Ok, let's just get to the ring. 

 

Rampage and Scott 'Flash' Norton w/Ted Arcidi vs. 3 Local Talents 

This trio gets their shot at the AWA 6-Man titles at the Happening and tonight they're clearly sending a message to Demolition. Rampage put their opponent down with double boots to the face. Norton comes in and finishes things off with a powerslam! They continue the beat down and hurl all of their opponents out of the ring. Arcidi yells into the camera "Demolition! You're dead meat!" 

 

Commercial Break 

 

'The Raging Bull' Manny Fernandez vs. Todd Rooney 

Manny's hits the ring in his jeans and red bandana. He tosses the bandana and gets down to business. Manny swings Rooney to the ropes and hits the flying burrito for the win. It's announced that Manny will be in the Happening's battle royal. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

We see Chicky Starr in front of an AWA banner. His head is bandaged up from that beating Colon gave him in Puerto Rico. 

Starr: Colon! This is only the beginning. You and me will meet again at the Happening and this time you will not be walking out. I personally guarantee that! 

 

The Missouri Tiger vs. JT Southern 

Both men hold a countout victory over the other and we hope things get settled tonight. The bell rings and the fight is on. These guys take turns pounding away at each other. The fight gets intense and both men go through the ropes and end up fighting all the way up the aisle resulting in a double countout. Well, nothing resolved but both men will get another crack at each other in the Happening Battle Royal. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

'Unpredictable' Dick Slater vs. Neil Jordan 

Slater just beats his opponent down and finishes things off with a Russian Leg Sweep. 

 

Nelson: Dick Slater, I know you have your sights set...

A man wearing a suit and sunglasses walks out and hands Slater an envelope. The man leaves. Slater opens the envelope and looks inside. Slater nods and just walks away leaving a puzzled Larry Nelson. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

The Barbarian vs. Clinton Stitch 

Barbarian nearly decapitates his opponent with a clothesline from the top rope to get the win. 

Wait a minute! 

The fans go nuts as the Ultimate Warrior hits the ring! 

Barbarian turns around as Warrior clotheslines him down. Warrior runs in place. Barbarian staggers up as Warrior swings off the ropes and drops Barbarian with a flying shoulder block! Barbarian rolls out of the ring as Warrior shakes the ropes. The place is electric! 

 

Commercial Break 

 

The Hangman w/Nell vs. Gary Brimson 

Hangman destroys poor Brimson and easily wins the match with the Hangman's neckbreaker. 

Nell walks over to Larry Nelson. 

Nell: Leo Burke, I want you to pay close attention here. 

Nell gives Hangman the signal. 

Hangman pulls Brimson up and puts him back down with the Heart Punch! 

Moments later, Brimson is stretchered out. 

Nell: Leo Burke, it's real simple. It's time the Hangman puts you out to pasture. You're a poor soul who doesn't know when to peacefully walk away. Fear not because the Hangman will retire you quickly. (looks at Nelson) You've been here a long time too. Perhaps your time has come as well. 

Hangman puts his noose around Nelson's neck. Nelson freaks out and runs away. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Bobby Blaze vs. Ray Glader 

Blaze looks great and wins the match with his Northern Lights Suplex. Blaze is another added to the Happening's Battle Royal. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

AWA National Tag Team Title Tournament Semi Final Match 

The Mavericks vs. The Tribal Nation 

There's a lot at stake here and both teams are on their A game. Mavericks control a segment. Young suplexes Chris as Storm follows with a big elbow drop 1..2..Kick Out. Mavericks remain in control until Mark nails Storm with a knee to the back from the apron. Tribal Nation control the next segment with a lot of heel tactics. Chris chokes Storm on the bottom rope as Mark leapfrogs over Chris and hits a body guillotine on Storm. Storm weathers the storm and eventually makes the tag to Young. Young cleans house and takes control. Young works over Mark and hits a dropkick from the middle ropes. Chris runs in as does Storm. We get a wild brawl. Chris is tossed out of the ring. Chris grabs his tomahawk.

Los Boricuas run out and nail Chris from behind. The tomahawk goes flying. Inside the ring, Mark is all by himself. Storm nails Mark with a spere and Young follows with a DDT 1..2..3!!! Big POP! 

 

Nelson: Ok, wow! It's now set for the Happening. The Mavericks will face the Iceman and the Superstar for the AWA National tag team titles. 

 

Commercial Break 

 

Nelson: Fans, listen to this main event for next week's program. AWA International champ Konnan will team with the AWA world tag champs El Canek and Mil Mascaras to take on Art Barr and the Guerreros. That should be an outstanding match up. Ok, joining me now is Adnan Al-Kassie and the AWA world champ Kokina. 

Adnan looks pissed and Kokina looks like he's ready to destroy anything in his path. Nelson backs up as Adnan snatches the mic. Kokina gives a loud roar and that makes Nelson turn around and walk away. 

Adnan: Bad News Brown! You came out and attacked Kokina from behind last week. You think you have the upper hand but that is very far from the truth. If that is all you have in your arsenal then you are in serious trouble! At the Happening, Kokina isn't just going to beat you. Kokina is going to rip you apart and break every bone in your body. I know you want to regain this AWA world title so badly but the only thing you should be worried about is survival. That sounds like very bad news to me. 

Kokina looks right into the camera, taps on his title and lets out a monstrous roar. 

 

[ErictheDragon]

DeBeers and the Boss man get us started with a good old fashioned parking lot brawl.

The Happening battle royals is really filling up,

Tiger & Southern just can't decide a winner.

Someone just made Slater an offer.

Warrior gets some payback on Barby.

The Mavericks are moving on.
