kevinmcfl Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I really think this card was so realistic for the time. The fans got their money's worth and then sum. Angles continued to progress and then a HUGE main event!!! Really enjoying Ox Baker as a manager and I think you hit on someothing special with the Superfly's vs The Cartel. Good win for Garvin even though you had a really smart finish so not to hurt the Crippler. Both of these men could end up holding some title belt down the road as they are both stars!

Scarlet-Left Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 What a great final encounter indeed! A brutal and bloody affair and both men come away looking strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 4-30-86 "From coast to coast, border to border and continent to continent welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling" Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA major league wrestling. Big main event as Bobby Jaggers goes one on one with Rip Oliver. TV champ Scott Casey will be wrestling. Curt Hennig and Brian Adias tune up for their big world tag title shot, which happens next week. Adrenaline Rush will take on Steve O and Ed Moretti. National tag champs Beasts of Burden will be in the ring as will Ron Garvin, Austin Idol, Soldat Ustinov and the Highwaymen. You'll be hearing from Jerry Lawler as well as Carlos Colon. Let's get to the ring with the debut of a new tag team. The Golden Boys (Dan Spivey and Kevin Kelly) vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Last week on the Beauty Shop, Spivey came out and told Kelly to snap out of it and get over Vin Man going AWOL on him. He suggested they team up and here we are. This seems to be just what Kelly needed. Him and Spivey look crisp tonight. They swing Lopez to the ropes and put him down with a double back elbow smash. Spivey follows with a leaping leg drop to get the pin! Resnick: Congratulations to you Golden Boys on a very fine win. Is this a sign of things to come. Spivey: You know it is! We're ready to take the tag team scene by storm. Now that Kevin is locked in and focused, we're going nowhere but up. Kelly: It took someone like Dan Spivey to get me out of that depression. I can't thank you enough Dan. I'm back and with a partner I can count on! Let's do this! The Golden Boys bump fists and pump their fists to the fans. Commercial Break Soldat Ustinov vs. Trent Watkins Of course we get some classic 80s heat as Soldat waves the Russian flag in the middle of the ring. Soldat destroys his opponent before finishing him off with a knee drop from the middle ropes. Resnick: Impressive debut for Soldat Ustinov. Soldat, I understand you're here for a specific reason. Soldat: It is very simple. I'm here to issue a challenge to that weak American who calls himself a champion. I am referring to you Scott Casey. You might have defeated my comrade Alexis Smirnoff but Russia has assigned me to take that title from you. Do you have the guts? Commercial Break Footage from Jackson is shown as Carlos Colon and Abdullah the Butcher battled in their last AWA encounter. Colon goes nuts and gets DQed as he digs into Abdullah's head with a foreign object. Resnick: Fans, please welcome out Carlos Colon. Big pop as Carlos waves to the fans. Resnick: Carlos, last week in Jackson you and Abdullah battled in your last AWA encounter. I have to say I've never seen you in that frame of mind. Colon: There's only one way to fight Abdullah the Butcher and.... WHAM!! Colon is attacked from behind by KAMALA! Curtis Iaukea hits Colon with his kendo stick. Kamala follows with a thrust shot to Colon's throat. Kamala picks up Colon and slams him on the concrete! Kamala backs up, then runs up and hits a splash on Colon! Iaukea instructs Kamala to do more damage. Kamala backs up and hits another splash as the crowd gasps. Prelim wrestlers run out but Iaukea hits them with his kendo stick as Kamala strikes them with chops and thrusts. Kamala reaches down, picks up Colon with both hands on his throat, holds him up, then choke slams him down on the concrete! Iaukea leads Kamala out as officials and security run out. Colon is eventually stretchered out. Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, that was one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. Thundering boos as Iaukea and Kamala come out. Resnick: Just what in the world was that all about? Kamala paces and slaps his belly. Iaukea: I warned you all last week that there was going to be a sacrifice, a message sent to the world champion Ricky Steamboat. Carlos Colon was the sacrifice. Did you people forget? Tiger Jeet Singh paid me an enormous amount of money to terminate Carlos Colon. That was Kamala's agenda from day one. Mr. Singh, the job is done! As for you Ricky Steamboat, did you just witness that? I hope you watched very closely. I hope you received our message loud and clear. When you get into the ring with Kamala, you will be destroyed! (Manacle laugh) The glorious title will be ours! The world will be ours! Be prepared Steamboat! You will soon feel the wrath of Kamala! You will suffer! Commercial Break- Advertisement for WrestleRock 86 coming in July! "Rugged" Ron Garvin vs. Peter Moore Garvin works stiff tonight. He back drops Moore then follows with the Garvin Stomp. Garvin swings Moore to the ropes and puts him down with the knock out punch for the win! Garvin cuts a promo on Paul Jones and Matt Borne, telling them it's only the beginning. Commercial Break "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Todd Rooney Idol does a lot of showboating but then takes care of business and wins the match with the Las Vegas Leglock. Resnick: Ok, Austin Idol, you've been pretty vocal about our National Champ Rocky Johnson. Well, you get your title shot in Milwaukee this weekend. Are you ready? Idol: (laughs) Am I ready? Darling, I was born ready daddy. The National title needs to be on my body. This is the body of a champion. Come on now, Johnson's body just doesn't measure up. I'm the real man here. Johnson! That title's com'n home with me jack! Bet on it! Commercial Break Curt Hennig and Brian Adias vs. William Hillman and Harold Bannister Before the match, AWA champs the Bruise Brothers come out to scout their upcoming challengers. One thing's certain, Hennig and Adias are ready. They show off some outstanding teamwork. Adias executes a Airplane spin on Bannister then tags in Hennig. Hennig finishes things off with a Fisherman's suplex. Resnick: Ok, I'm here with both champions and challengers. I know I speak for all these people when I say next week's title match should be a classic. Adias: Curt and I worked hard to get to this point and you can count on us making the most of it. Hennig: Exactly right. We're looking forward to stepping in the ring with the champs next week. It will be an honor and a privilege. Snowman: We feel the same way. It's all about the competition and brother next week's going to be competition at its best! Cash: OOOOOHHHH Man! I can feel the electricity! Snowman and I can't hardly wait. We get to defend these here world titles against a top ranked and most deserving team. Let's put it all out there. What do ya say? Hennig and Adias are pumped up and nodding. All 4 men shake hands. Commercial Break Adrenaline Rush vs. Steve O and Ed Moretti Steve O looks at Moretti with a bit of apprehension as Moretti enters the ring with a chain around his neck. Fun match as Adrenaline Rush execute a number of high flying maneuvers. Steve O gets in some nice offense while Moretti doesn't hesitate to break the rules. This friction comes into play as Moretti gets double dropkicked out of the ring. Adrenaline Rush execute a double suplex on Steve O to get the win. Adrenaline Rush help Steve O up before exiting. Moretti gets his chain and gets into the ring. Steve O turns around and Moretti knocks him out with the chain! Resnick: Ed Moretti, there was no need for that. That was just ruthless. Moretti: (Big smile) Ruthless? Hey I like that. From now on you can call me Ruthless Moretti. What a nice ring. Thanks Ken. You know, I didn't come to the AWA to lose matches. They stick me with that loser in the ring and look what happened? Nobody is going to hold Moretti down. Wait, I mean Ruthless Moretti. This chain is the only friend I need. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink 'Beauty Shop' sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to the number one rated segment in wrestling, the Beauty Shop. If I said it once, I've said it a million times. Everything happens here and I get all the major scoops. So let me introduce to you, a team that just signed with the AWA. Known all throughout the world, ladies and gentlemen, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, the Rock N Roll Express! Massive pop as RnR come out in jeans, tank tops and bandanas. They take it all in and thank the fans. The crowd's reaction is electric. Britton: (Annoyed and snaps her fingers) Hey over here! Focus. You should be kissing my feet. I allowed you to debut on my show and trust me nothing is hotter than that. But what do you do? Kiss up to all these idiots. Ricky and Robert brush her off and continue celebrating with the fans. Things finally settle down. Britton: Boy, you two don't have much of an attention span do you? I can already tell you're not going to get the job done here in the AWA. You know the Fabulous Ones just left for Japan and now we have another wannabe rock star team. Don't get me wrong. You guys have a pretty good resume but I just can't see you two teeny bop idols defeating teams like the Cartel or Highwaymen. And like I said, I have all the scoops and I know Robert Gibson's ankle has had some issues. Gibson: Ok, hold on a sec Brenda. Yea, I had some issues with the ankle but I took some time off to let it properly heal and I can tell you and all these great fans that the ankle is 100% and we're ready to rock n roll! Morton: Tell em Robert! Everybody says that the AWA has all the top teams. So the Rock N Roll Express decided this is the place to be! We're in the AWA and like Robert said, we're ready to rock n roll! Britton: Easier said then done. It just so happens I'm going to have some very very very special guests on my show in a couple weeks. I'll give you a hint. The champagne will be flowing. My point is, I think you guys are defiantly going to take a back seat to them. Morton: Brenda, it doesn't matter who we get into the ring with. Robert and I have been on top everywhere we go. We want to accomplish the same in the AWA. Gibson: It starts next week, when we make our in ring debut! Massive cheers! Brenda tries to speak but the cheers drown her out. Brenda: (Screams) Tooooodles. Commercial Break The Highwaymen vs. Carl Kellerman and Neil Jordan Total squash as the Highwaymen win the match with a spiked piledriver! Highwaymen cut a promo on Cabin Fever and tell them the beating they got last week is nothing compared to the beating they're gonna get in Milwaukee this weekend! Commercial Break TV Champ "Cowboy" Scott Casey w/Sunshine vs. Ray Glader Sunshine gets a lot of love from the fans. Casey does too as he puts Glader down with a running bulldog for the pin. Resnick: Sunshine, you've got to be proud of Scott Casey's TV title reign. Sunshine: Oh yes I am! Scott has taken on all comers and believe me he's ready for more. Resnick: Ok, on that note, you heard the challenge made by Soldat Ustinov. Casey: I sure did. Hey Ustinov, you want a shot, (holds up the TV title) come and get it! Commercial Break AWA National Tag Team Champs The Beasts of Burden w/Ox Baker vs. Sam Smith and Royce Richards Utter destruction! Beasts finally put their opponents out of their misery with a double boot shot to the face! Beasts pick up Richards. Ox Baker gets in the ring and puts him down with the heart punch! Ox raises his fist as Morgan and Nord hold up the National tag titles. Commercial Break TV Main Event "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers vs. "Crippler" Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones Heat filled and exciting match. These guys go back and forth with some hard hitting action. Jaggers is in control when Jones hops on the apron. Jaggers grabs Jones and is ready to deck him but Oliver nails him with a forearm blast from behind. Oliver works over Jaggers with punches, choking, kicks and stomps. Jones gets in a couple shots as well. Oliver slams Jaggers, hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a forearm drop 1..2..Kick Out. A frustrated Oliver chokes away on Jaggers. Oliver picks up Jaggers, swings him into the corner and charges in but Jaggers lifts up his knees and Oliver crashes into them. Jaggers regroups. Oliver staggers up and Jaggers scoop slams him down. Jaggers stomps away on Oliver. Jones hops on the apron and this time Jaggers decks him. Jaggers swings Oliver to the ropes and clotheslines him down. Jaggers picks up Oliver and hits the Hangman's neckbreaker 1..2..NO! Matt Borne hits the ring and pounds away on Jaggers. The Ref signals for the DQ. Cheers as Ron Garvin runs in and hammers away on Borne! Boos as Baron Von Raschke heads down the aisle but wait a minute, the Spoiler comes from behind and nails Baron! It's a wild scene as fists are flying everywhere! Commercial Break Lance: My goodness, it looks like Paul Jones and his army have some very formidable enemies in Bobby Jaggers, Ron Garvin and of course the Spoiler. Before I get to my guest, next week you will see the Bruise Brothers defend the AWA world titles against Curt Hennig and Brian Adias. Billy Jack Haynes along with Ox Baker will take on Billy Jack Strong. And of course the big in ring debut of the Rock n Roll Express. I will also be speaking with AWA World Champ Ricky Steamboat. I'm sure he'll have some comments for Iaukea and Kamala. On that note, I understand Carlos Colon was taken to a nearby hospital. I really hope he'll be ok. (Pauses) Switching gears, please welcome out the one and only King of wrestling, Jerry Lawler. Big pop as Lawler comes out, smiles and holds up his king's crown. He walks over and shakes hands with Lance. Lance: Well Jerry, you've had quite a couple weeks. You reclaimed your throne by sending Roy Lee Welch packing but then get attacked by old nemesis Superstar Bill Dundee. How you holding up? Lawler: Old Bill did a number on me and I'm still feeling it. Bill and I have quite a history together and it seems Bill wants to start a new chapter. Hey Bill! That's fine with me old friend. I've beaten you up plenty of times and brother I'll be happy to do it some more. Let's get this match signed because these fists are ready to pound on that pea brain head of yours. Lance: Ok it looks like a new chapter will begin. Fans, I'll see you next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 A successful debut for the Golden Boys. Nice to see Kelly in a good mood for a change. Soldat Ustinov squashes a jobber then call out Casey! Russia seems to have a keen interest in the TV Title. Colon is the sacrifice! I'd completely forgotten about Singh paying Iaukea. Now onto Steamboat and the World Title. Wrestlrock 86' oh yeah! Garvin ko's a goober then sends a warning to #1 Paul Jones and the maniac. A nice little tune-up for the Universal Heartthrob ahead of his Title shot in Milwaukee. Speaking of tune-ups Henning & Adias get one for themselves ahead of their big chance next week. A nice win for Adrenaline Rush but the real story is Steve O getting laid out by Ruthless Moretti. The Rock n roll Express is in the AWA! The champagne will be flowing eh Brenda? The Highwaymen use two unlucky souls to send a message to Cabin Fever. Cowboy Casey picks up a quick w and accepts Soldat's challenge. Another week, another chance for Ox and his Beasts of Burden to commit nationally televised murder. The Hangman & The Crippler have a fun brawl leading up to an even more fun pier sixer with everyone involved. The King sends us off the air with a pledge to meet the superstar anywhere, anytime. Looking forward to this one. The AWA is rolling strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Jones just adds the heat. The first few minutes is pretty clean as both men trade wrestling holds. Steamboat turns things up with a flurry of hip tosses and arm drags. A frustrated Baron rolls out of the ring to converse with Jones. Baron gets on the apron, Steamboat goes over and Baron rakes his eyes and snaps his head on the top rope. The next few minutes is all Baron as he stomps and pounds away on Steamboat. Baron slams Steamboat, executes a vertical suplex and follows with a backbreaker but cant put Steamboat away.

Autistic Dragon Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Billy Jack Strong gets the crowd going with a win over Goulet. It's Bomb's Away as the Superstar makes a successful return at Garea's expense. Cabin Fever score a win over The Highwaymen but my gut says this isn't finished. OK seriously Rheneigans needs a new partner because this is getting ridiculous. The Soul Man & the Universal Heartthrob go to a double C.O as their war over the National Title is just getting started. Paul Jones some comeuppance as the dragon retains over a game Baron. Hot damn! The Louisville Gardens is gonna be the place to be next week as the King & the Superstar go at it and the Steamboat defends against " The Monster " Kamala!

kevinmcfl Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 AWA is full of excitement this week.... Dan Spivey getting Kevin Kelly back on track might mean trouble for everyone else. It doesn't matter who the Russian is... it sells! Ustinov did a nice job bringing the heat! My God.... Colon, if he ever recovers.... now has Kamala do deal with. It's like Colon did something to you and you just want him to fight monster after monster! LOL Rugged Ron and THe Heartthrob both seem to be on their game this week. Henig & Adias vs Snowman and Cash.... Interesting. I never trust this bayface vs babyface bouts. Moretti was so good in real life. Not sure why the WWF just used him as a jobber. Like him making a name for himself here with the chain. The Beauty Shop gets the role of introducing the RnR Express.... Brenda is getting bigger each and every week. The tag division just got real interesting. The Highway Men-Cabin Fever should be WILD!! Really enjoyed the main event... Paul Jones and his stable might have bitten off more than they can chew. I like how Lawler gives these show ending interviews. It just proves he is the King! On to the Mecca: The Highway Men and Cabin Fever could wrestle everyday in one of those early matches and the crowd would still watch. Duke Myers might just turn Gagne into a title contender. Perfect finish for Rocky Johnson and Idol. Now we can just do it over and over again. The same goes for the Cartel and the Superfly's Nice job for Steamboat this week. These matches are good for him as each win over a major heel legitamizes him as the champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWA world champ Ricky Steamboat will be here to talk about his upcoming title defense against Kamala in Louisville this weekend. Well let's get to the action. "The Great" Greg Gagne with Bodyguard Duke Myers vs. Sam Smith Gagne draws the ire of the crowd as he arrogantly toys with his opponent. Duke even gets in some cheap shots just for the fun of it. Gagne nails Smith with a high dropkick and follows with the sleeper for the win. Resnick: Greg, you looked sharp in there tonight. Now, I have a feeling that there's some unfinished business between you and Brad Rheingans. Duke snatches the mic from Resnick and hands it to Greg. Gagne: Thanks Duker. Awwww poor little Bradley. I've lost track at how many times I've beaten him and the man is just a poor sport. Jeez Bradley, give it up. Cheers as Brad Rheingans comes out. Brad takes the mic from Greg. Duke steps in but Gagne smiles and motions for him to step back. Brad: Yea Greg, you're a big man. Yes, you've beaten me a few times, with a lot of help from your goon here, so since it's not a big deal, why don't we go at it one more time next week? Greg snatches the mic. Gagne: Wow, look at the guts on little Bradley. You must be a gluten for punishment. Ok, why not, I'll accept your challenge, well I wouldn't exactly call you a challenge. (Gagne laughs) Now run along before Duker gets mad. Brad grabs the mic. Brad: Oh yea, don't forget to bring him next week. Brad throws the mic at Greg and exits. Greg looks at Duke, shakes his head and they both laugh. Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as Moretti puts Steve O down with his chain.

Moretti rolls out of the ring and grabs his chain. He gets back in the ring and starts choking Steve with it. Several officials run in. Moretti smiles then releases. Moretti threatens the officials with his chain before leaving. The smile never leaves Moretti's face. Commercial Break Footage from the USWA's last event The Happening is shown of Giant Haystacks brutally attacking El Canek. Canek suffered broken ribs and a concussion. Because of this, Canek had to vacate his UWA title. Resnick: Fans, with me right now is Jose Lothario. Jose, I understand you have another update on El Canek. Jose: Yes, very good news. El Canek has been training and is getting better and stronger everyday. Right now he has only one thing on his mind and that's Giant Haystacks. I am pleading with Mr. Jarrett and Mr. Gagne and the entire AWA committee, to give him this match. Anytime, anyplace. El Canek will be ready. Resnick: Ok, once again the challenge has been made. I will hope to get an answer from the committee at some point. Let's get back to the action.

Commercial Break Lance Russell: Fans, I have a couple of incredible announcements to make. On Saturday, July 3rd, live from the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the AWA will present our next blockbuster closed circuit event, WrestleRock 86. Not only will you see an outstanding night of action and a top notch fireworks show but you'll also get to see the one and only rock n roll legend himself Chuck Berry perform a set after the show. Wow, I can't think of a better way to spend Independence Day than that. My goodness that's going to be a lot of fun. Next up, Memorial Day weekend at the Mid South Coliseum, there will be a one night 8-man tournament. The winner of that tournament will get a world title shot at WrestleRock. Listen to this, Wahoo McDaniel is coming in for the tournament. I'm going to announce the opening round match ups next week. Not only is Wahoo coming in for the tournament but my special guest at this time is as well. Please welcome out Nick Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel looks like a million bucks as he comes out wearing a suit. Lance: Nick, it's a pleasure. I can't think of anybody more deserving to be in a tournament for a chance at the AWA world title. Bock: Well of course there's nobody more deserving. My resume and credentials prove I am more than qualified. You see a man such as myself doesn't have to earn anything. I come into a wrestling organization and I'm immediately thrusted into the title picture. This tournament is merely a formality. I will indeed be victorious and I will indeed be wrestling for the world title at WrestleRock. Good day Lance. Lance: Ok, things already heating up for that big tournament. We'll be right back. Commercial Break Billy Jack Strong vs. Billy Jack Haynes w/Ox Baker Haynes came to the AWA and immediately attacked Strong, claiming he stole the Billy Jack name. Ox promised he will take Haynes to the top. Strong says Billy Jack is his name and he's up for the fight. The match is a solid hard hitting affair as both men show off their power. Haynes is aggressive with scoop slams and vicious kicks and knee drops. Strong battles back and shows off his strength with a variety of suplexes. They end up in a hard hitting exchange and brawl to the outside and to a double c.o. The bell is ringing. Ox nails Strong from behind. Haynes rams Strong into the steel post.

After Ox and Haynes leave, Medics attend to Strong. Commercial Break The Cartel vs. Trent Watkins and Neil Jordan Cartel are extremely vicious tonight as they basically torture their opponents. They end the match with a double rib breaker on Jordan. Watkins goes in to help his partner but the Cartel beat him down and hurl him out of the ring. Resnick: That was quite a display of violence by the Cartel. I'm not so sure you can do that to the Superflys. Estrada puts a cigar in his mouth. Santana lights it. Estrada blows smoke in Resnick's face. Estrada holds up the cigar, then puts it out in his hand. Cartel smirk and leave. Commercial Break Soldat Ustinov vs. Tony Garea Soldat prepares for TV champ Scott Casey by taking it to Garea. Soldat chokes Garea on the top rope and snaps him back. Soldat grinds Garea's face on the mat then stomps away. Soldat hops on the middle ropes and comes down with a big boot to the chest. The fans boo as Soldat goes to the ropes and calls them weak Americans. Soldat lifts Garea up for a body slam but Garea cradles him 1..2..3!!!!! Huge pop! Garea rolls out of the ring as Soldat goes crazy with anger. Resnick: (Smiling) I can't believe it. This could change things for next week's TV title match. Unbelievable. Soldat continues to have a meltdown into the commercial. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink 'Beauty Shop' sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to the number one rated segment in wrestling, the Beauty Shop. I'm so excited I just can't contain it. Ladies and Gentlemen and I use that term very very loosely. Returning to the AWA, please welcome out Les Thornton and Tony "Simply the Best" St. Clair! Thundering boos as Thornton comes out waving the Union Jack Flag. St. Clair follows wearing slacks and a Union Jack themed jacket. Thornton and St. Clair kiss Brenda's hand. Britton: Oh my, I can't tell you how nice it is to be in the presence of real gentlemen. On that note, let me remind these idiots just who Tony St. Clair is. This great man held the TV title for nearly a year. Never lost that title by the way. This great man has never been pinned in the United States. This great man just finished a European tour and yes he was undefeated. This great man is the greatest wrestler walking the face of the earth. No denying that. Thornton: Brenda, very elegantly put. You speak nothing but the truth. Now before I get to Sir St. Clair, let me first address Jose Lothario's ridiculous challenge. If El Canek has a death wish then Giant Haystacks would be more than happy to grant him just that. Ok, as you can see, myself and Sir Tony St. Clair are back in the AWA. Britton: Sir? Was he knighted as well? Wow, he is a true man isn't he? Thornton: Without a doubt. I personally have knighted him because he richly deserves it after all he's done for the great UK. Brenda, you get all the scoops so this one's for you. Sir St. Clair will be competing in the upcoming tournament. He will win it but that's only the beginning. I couldn't think of a more fitting date for Sir St. Clair to win the AWA world title then on Independence Day. Oh what a glorious day that will be. St. Clair: I have defeated each and every so called American technician that's stepped foot in the ring with me. Actually, I've defeated every wrestling technician in the world that's stepped foot in the ring with me. I am a wrestling machine, a world renowned grappler, a born champion. I will get my shot and I will win the AWA world title. Why? Because I'm simply the best! Britton: Once again, you get the hottest scoops here. My money's on Sir St. Clair. Until next week toooodles. Commercial Break The Rock n Roll Express vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez The fans have been waiting for this and explode as Ricky and Robert come down the aisle.

(Resnick hands the gift to Ricky) Well I guess this is for you guys. Ricky and Robert shrug their shoulders and open it. They pull out a bottle of champagne.

Colon is stretchered out. Iaukea cuts a sinister promo on Steamboat afterwards. Resnick: Please welcome out the AWA world champion, Ricky Steamboat. Massive cheers as a serious Steamboat gives a wave. Resnick: Ricky, you've got a title defense this weekend in Louisville against the Ugandan Monster Kamala. After what went down last weekend, a lot must be running through your mind. Steamboat: (pauses) I consider Carlos a good friend and what Kamala did last week made me sick! Look, I don't know what kind of twisted game Iaukea is playing but trust me I'm ready for Louisville. I can handle a monster and if Iaukea wants to stick his face in my business, well I'll take great pleasure in putting him in his place!

"Boogie Fever" plays over the speakers as the Bruise Brothers come down the aisle. Bruise Brothers enter the ring as Hennig and Adias smile. All 4 men shake hands. The first few minutes is back and forth competitive action. Bruise Brothers rely on power while Hennig and Adias bust out their technical style. Hennig tags in Adias as he takes Snowman down with a drop toe hold. Adias swings off the ropes and drops an elbow on Snowman. Hennig and Adias use frequent tags and continue to work Snowman over.

I don't know what to think. We have new AWA world tag team champions. Curt Hennig and Brian Adias. Why? Just why did you have to resort to such a dirty tactic? Adias: We didn't do anything wrong. We scouted them well and won the titles. Simple as that. Hennig: Come on Resnick, you should be congratulating us. They're the ones who showed tasteless sportsmanship. They didn't even want to shake our hands afterwards. Man, what a couple of sore losers. Now Resnick, you better congratulate us. Adias: Yea, quit playing favorites and congratulate us.

Autistic Dragon Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Greg is riding high as he accepts another match with Rheneigans. Could Brad finally have found someone to watch his back? Moretti proves to be too ruthless for a fired up Steve O. I never heard of this guy before last week but you've got me intrigued. Jose Lothario pops in to make clear that El Canek hasn't forgotten about Giant Haystacks Cabin Fever ain't backing down from nobody! An 8 man tournament on memorial day with the winner getting a world title shot at Wrestlerock! And to make it even better you bring in Wahoo & Bockwinkel! Tempers flare in the battle of the Billy Jacks leading to a double c.o. After the match Ox gets involved and drops strong. Another man in need of a friend. The Cartel send a clear message to the Superflys. Garea pulls a fast one on Ustinov and nabs the TV Title match for himself. Comrade Ustinov is gonna have a tough time explaining this to his superiors. Brenda is determined to out scoop Lance with the return of Sir Tony St Clair & Les Thornton. Thornton drops the hot scoop that his man will be in the memorial day tournament. What better way to prove you're " Simply the best " then to beat 3 men in 1 night. Rock n Roll pick up their first win in the AWA and receive a bit of the bubbly as a reward. Shame somebody drank it all. The Superstar is ready to exile the king and make the AWA HIS kingdom. Steamboat shows the kind of fire he'll need to beat the monster Kamala. But is it enough? I knew the build to the Tag Title match was too chummy! Adias goes low and brings home the gold. Love the visual of the heels offering a handshake to the guy they just kicked in the nuts. The AWA is a guaranteed great week of wrestling!

kevinmcfl Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Nice week for the AWA Heel Greg Gagne is much more enjoyable to me then babyface Greg Gagne was in real lfe. I enjoy the push you are giving Moretti. I think a win over Steve O will help him move up the ladder. You did a nice job of capturing Bock's arrogance! He is MR. AWA in my mind. Wrestler or manager.... that Heart Punch from Ox is scary.... Billy Jack with Ox in his corner could be big time for you. The Cartel gets the best of the Superflys..... this week. Garea with a nice win. I think the St. Clair thing had run its course until this World Tour idea. Now people in the AWA are wondering who is this guy. Who is so good that he beats peole all over the globe. Great booking. On 5/7/2021 at 10:05 PM, spaldoni said: A gift to ze Rock N Roll Express. VERRY, VERRY INTERESTING.... Can't wait to find out more. Steamboat vs Kamala will be fun and sell some tickets. I thought somethng might be up in that Tag Title match. Adias is lucky this is Sports Entertainment. If not, Cash and Snowman would be hurting someboady! Great match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autistic Dragon Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Adrenaline Rush gets the crowd going with a fast-paced win. Paul Jones helps his maniac steal a win but pays for it courtesy of a k.o punch by " rugged " Ron. A chaotic six man is won by Cabin Fever & the Soul Man but ultimately settles nothing. Jones's earlier interference costs him as he isn't there for the Baron as he goes down to the Spoiler. Ox and his Beasts clearly don't mind a bit of help as long as they keep their titles. The feud between the Cartel and the Superflys continues to escalate. The Superstar uses a pair of brass knuckles to score the first win in his renewed rivalry with the King. Goulet's ego gets the better of him as he refuses to take a forfeit win and issues a open challenge that gets answered by Wahoo McDaniel! Got a feeling next time Goulet will quit while he's ahead. Kamala & laukea may not have gotten the title but send a clear message by leaving the world champion laying The people of Louisville will be talking about this show for a while.

kevinmcfl Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Really fun card for the fans in Louisville. I enjoy when you hype two angles with one match and this worked perfectly with Johnson/Cabin Fever vs Idol and The Highway Men. Paul Jones is really becoming a thorne in the side of Garvin. The Superflys have had a rough week. Will be interesting to see them rebound. Speaking of revenge.... Lawler will be after Dundee. Love this feud. Wahoo is here! Can't wait to see what you have planned for him. KAMALA VS STEAMBOAT AGAIN PLEASE!!! This is the moneymaker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Ricky Steamboat being on top is still such a great look for the AWA. I was rooting for Curt Hennig and Brian Adias to pull off the victory, though I didn't honestly think they'd manage. I'm glad they did though, and hey, as for the manner of the victory, you've gotta' do what you've gotta' do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly: Every since Danny snapped me out of my depression, things have really been clicking... A commotion picks up from the fans as the Vin Man walks out. Resnick: Well this is certainly a big surprise. Vinnie Valentino where have you been? Kelly is at a lost for words as he stares at Vinnie. Spivey already doesn't like this. Vin: Kev baby! What the hell is going on here? Kelly: Vin...I think the question is, where the hell have you been? Vin: Hey, you're not the only one that was hurting. After Bodacious came up short at the Happening, I had to leave this business and clear my head. I'm gone for a couple months and you turn your back on me and team up with this freak. We were family Kev. You betrayed me. You know what? That's all water under the bridge. Ditch this loser and come back to the family. I welcome you back with open arms big guy. Kelly: I don't think so Vin. You left me hanging when I had the opportunity of a lifetime at the National title. I tried and tried to reach out but nothing. (points at Spivey) This man saved me so why don't you and I just go our separate ways. Vin: I can't believe what I'm hearing. You ungrateful meathead! You think you can make it without me? You and this big goof? You better think again. I'll be back, count on it. I'm the Vin Man...yea! Vinnie leaves. Kelly looks at Spivey and raises his fist. Spivey hits it as the fans cheer.

Brad: Hey Greg, I would like you to meet my bodyguard...The Crusher! Another huge pop as Crusher holds up his fist. Commercial Break The Superflys vs. Trent Watkins and Carl Kellerman Siva puts Watkins down with a jumping headbutt then tags in Snuka. Snuka goes to the top and crashes down with the Superfly Splash for the win! Resnick: Tremendous win for the Superflys. In Louisville, the Cartel interfered in your National Tag Title Bout and costed you the match. I'm sure you have words for the Cartel. Siva: Estrada! You started everything but the Superflys will finish it! Snuka: That's right brotha. You attack us from behind like the cowards you are. You better have eyes in the back of your heads because it's our turn! Commercial Break WrestleRock 86 Report w/Jerry Jarrett Jarrett: Hello to all our great AWA fans.

Now, I've heard the challenge made by Jose Lothario on behalf of El Canek. I think it's only fair to grant the match. So the first match signed for WrestleRock will be El Canek taking on Giant Haystacks. Talk about a powerhouse battle. Moving on, Memorial Day weekend at the Mid South Coliseum, there will be an 8 man tournament, the winner will get a AWA world title shot at WrestleRock.

Beasts hurl Klein out of the ring and put Smith down with double boots to the head! Beasts pick up the lifeless Smith and hold him as Ox delivers a Heart Punch! Billy Jack Haynes joins Ox and the Beasts along with a nervous looking Ken Resnick. Resnick: Utter destruction, that's all I can say. However, Ox Baker, is it really necessary to use your heart punch. You did that to Billy Jack Strong last week and... Haynes: Don't ever refer to that weakling as Billy Jack, you hear me! Ox: You better listen to him Resnick or I'll have the real Billy Jack clamp the full nelson on you! Yes it's necessary to use my heart punch. We're sending a message and that message is pain and punishment! Got it! Now my Beasts have ran through all the competition here in the AWA. There's nobody left so Jarrett has decided that two teams will fight for a shot. That makes me laugh. Two teams fighting to fight my Beasts. Either one of those teams will be destroyed!

However, right now my focus is winning the tournament and getting a world title shot. And wouldn't you know it, you and I lock up in the first round. So I not only get to beat you up again but I get to eliminate you from the tournament. Darling, that's my kind of night. Johnson: Keep talk'n Idol, just keep talk'n boy. Come Memorial Day, I'm gonna punch all that arrogance out of you and punch you in the mouth just to shut you up. Cheers as Johnson holds up his title in front of Idol. Commercial Break TV Title Bout "Cowboy" Scott Casey (C) w/Sunshine vs. Tony Garea Garea earned this shot by defeating Soldat Ustinov last week. Match starts with a handshake and remains clean.

Morrow: What's better than one? TWO! Ha Ha Ha, you are looking at de Billionaire's tag team champions. Brenda, you can call us Priceless. Fergie: That sums us up so well, don't you think? Brenda: (touching the titles) I love it! The belts, the name, the look. I mean who can stop you? Morrow: Simply put, nobody. There is one team we have our sights set on. A team that thinks they can come in here and be treated like champions. I am talking about de Rock n Roll Express. Fergie: Ha! They're nothing but a couple of hippie scrubs.

The Memorial Day tournament will just be a work out for Sir Tony, a tune up if you will. Nobody stands a chance against this man. St. Clair: Like dominoes, I will knock every wrestler down during my quest for the world title. It starts with you Spoiler. Him and all the others will find out why I am simply the best. Resnick: Tony, you are gifted, that's for sure. Les, before you go, I have to ask your thoughts on the match signed for WrestleRock between El Canek and the man you brought in Giant Haystacks? Thornton: First off you will address this great man as Sir Tony, because he's earned it. Now as you can see I have my hands full with Sir Tony and his quest for the title. However, a dear friend of mine will handle the affairs of Giant Haystacks. Both of them will be arriving to the AWA very soon. Mr. Lothario please translate this to El Canek.

Autistic Dragon Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 The Golden Boys pick up a quick w but the real intrigue is after the bell as the Vin Man FINALLY remembers Kelly exists. Kelly tells him to hit the bricks but I got a feeling it's not gonna be that easy. The Soul Man & the Universal Heartthrob both pick up convincing wins and have a nice little back-and-forth. Really enjoying this feud. Admittedly I don't know much about The Crusher but the little I do know tells me he's excactly the kind of guy you want watching your back. Looking forward to the tag matches between these pairs. The Superflys send a strong message to the Cartel letting them know it's not over till they say it's over. Damn memorial day is stacked af! El Canek gets what he wants, here's hoping he doesn't regret it. Cabin Fever & The Highwaymen get a chance to hopefully settle the score and secure a title shot at the same time. The Bruise Brothers look for revenge and to get their belts back (i wonder which is more important). I don't dare try to pick a winner in that tournament. And in the main event the World Champion will try to fend off the challenge of the monster Kamala! Key word being try. Casey retains against a game Garea but a ruthless new challenger makes himself known. The Beauty Shop sees the return of perhaps my favorite act of yours, Morrow & Fergie! Or as they shall now be known, ze billionaire tag team champions Priceless! Sir Tony reminds everyone why he's " Simply the best " and Thornton leaves us with the mystery of who will represent Haystacks? (And who would Thornton consider a dear friend?) An insane 6 man sends us off the air happy as not only do the good guys win, Jones gets decked. Good stuff. Awa is truly living up to the title of " Major league" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Great opening to the show.... Vin Man is back but Kelly has had enough. Great job creating another interesting angle. Really like the Rocky Johnson/Idol angle. These are two of my favorites! I was wondering where you were going when you picked up Da Crusher. Love this angle. He is priceless on the mic! Short, quick one-liners that sets the crowd off. Ox is Scary as Hell when he is by himself but add in Billy Jack and the Beasts.... I might be under the covers as a kid watching this group. Perfect heel stable. I'm always cautious when I read a babyface vs babyface bout so I was watching closely with Garea and Casey. Glad it ended the way it did. First the Vin Man returns then the Crusher arrives... all great but they don't come close to my favorite heels in the game.... Morrow and Fergie.... The Billionaire Champs!!!! This is going to be great. I think it really helped to give St. Clair and others a delayed AWA start as it just gives us new angles to follow instead of giving it all away at the beginning. WRESTLEROCK!!!! Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted May 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 AWA @ The Brown County Arena, Green Bay WI 5-15-86 The Crusher defeated Andy Stone with the Bolo Punch. If there's one guy that can get a Wisconsin crowd going it's da Crusher! "Ruthless" Moretti defeated Tony Garea with a running powerslam. Moretti draws heat as he hits Tony with his chain after the match for the fun of it. Adrenaline Rush defeated Rene Goulet and Soldat Ustinov when Takano hit an inverted piledriver on Goulet and Bassarab followed with a flying leg drop from the top rope. "Crippler" Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones defeated "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers after Jones threw salt in Jaggers eyes allowing Oliver to clothesline him down for the pin. The Highwaymen and Cabin Fever battled to a wild Double DQ The Rock n Roll Express defeated "The Great" Gagne and Duke Myers. During the match, da Crusher came out drinking a beer. Gagne and Myers were so distracted that when Gagne finally turned around, the RnR Express double dropkicked him for the win! Crusher held up his beer to RnR as the fans gave a thundering cheer. Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. "Superstar" Bill Dundee Another crazy fight between these two. Dundee once again tried to use brass knuckles but Lawler kicked him, grab the knuckles and blasted Dundee. The only problem was this was right in front of the Ref so he had no choice but to DQ Lawler. Lawler and the fans seemed ok with this especially since Dundee was knocked out cold. AWA World Title Bout Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat (C) vs. "El Jefe" Jose Estrada w/Cartel partner Ricky Santana Estrada made waves in Texas and carried that over to the AWA. Tonight he wants to bring the title to the Cartel. However, Steamboat has a different look in his eyes tonight and I'm sure Kamala and Iaukea have something to do with that. The opening minutes is all Steamboat as he has Estrada bumping and flipping all over the ring. The tide turns when Santana (from the outside) trips Steamboat and Steamboat staggers into a bruising forearm blast. Estrada takes over and beats Steamboat down with punches and kicks. Steamboat slowly rises but Estrada nails him with a knee lift 1..2..Kick Out. Estrada chokes Steamboat on the bottom rope. As the Ref backs him off, Santana hits Steamboat with a big punch. Estrada picks up Steamboat and Snake Eyes him on the top turnbuckle. Estrada goes to the middle ropes and crashes down with a knee drop 1..2..Kick Out. Estrada berates the Ref. Estrada hoists Steamboat up for an atomic drop but Steamboat flips over and dropkicks Estrada from behind. It's comeback time as Steamboat back drops Estrada. Estrada staggers up and Steamboat chops him down. Steamboat picks up Estrada and delivers a hanging vertical suplex. Steamboat goes to the top rope but Santana runs over and pushes him off. Steamboat is on the canvas as Estrada tries to clear the cob webs. The fans go crazy when the Superflys (in street clothes) hop the railing and pound away on Santana! Estrada gets up and tries to run out there but Steamboat grabs him and unloads. Steamboat swings Estrada into the corner. Estrada staggers out as Steamboat scoop slams him, goes out to the apron and hits a Sling Shot Splash 1..2..3!! The Superflys swing Santana into the steel post, then go into the ring. They pick up Estrada and double headbutt him down. Snuka goes to the top rope and hits the Superfly Splash! The Superflys hold up Steamboat's arms as the crowd roars. Winner of the Match and still AWA World Champ- Ricky Steamboat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Da Crusher makes a successful in-ring return with his Bolo Punch. Ruthless Moretti picks up steam as he attempts to position himself in the TV Title scene. Adrenaline Rush is quietly racking up a impressive winning streak. The Crippler gets one over on the Hangman with a little help from Paul Jones. The Feud between the Highwaymen & Cabin Fever is about to boil over. How nice of Crusher to toast RnR after their win. Love how nobody cares Lawler lost as long as he ko'd Dundee. El Jefe brought the fight & Santana tries his best to help but between a fired up dragon and the Superflys being present it just wasn't enough. Green Bay got their money's worth that's for sure!

kevinmcfl Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Great event for the people of Brown County. Da Crusher would have the crowd rocking from the get go. Nice choice to have him start the show. Looking forward to when the Rock n Roll Express really get going here in the AWA! Nice finish to the Lawler/Dundee match. I bet Lawler would take the DQ if he got to hit Dundee with the Brass Knucks everytime. Steamboat is really starting to own that AWA title. The Superflys/Cartel is a great angle.

spaldoni Posted May 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 5-21-86 "From coast to coast, border to border and continent to continent, welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling" Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA major league wrestling. Huge main event lined up as AWA World Champ Ricky Steamboat teams with Jerry Lawler to take on Kamala and the Superstar Bill Dundee. Wahoo McDaniel returns to AWA television. The Rock n Roll Express will be in action as will Ruthless Moretti, the Highwaymen, Greg Gagne, the Spoiler and the entire Paul Jones Army in 6 man tag team action. Also tonight the Cartel will go up against Adrenaline Rush. As you all know, next weekend at the Mid South Coliseum, there will be an 8 man tournament with the winner getting an AWA world title shot at WrestleRock 86 on July 3rd. We'll be hearing from some of those tournament participants tonight. Well let's get to the action. Baron Von Raschke/ "Maniac" Matt Borne and "Crippler" Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones vs. Vic Dutro, Willie Lopez and Sam Smith Paul Jones and his army are still seething over last week's loss to Spoiler, Garvin and Jaggers. They take out all their frustrations on tonight's opponents. Oliver clotheslines Dutro then tags in Borne. Borne fly's off the top rope with a knee drop then tags in Baron, who finishes things off with the claw! Jones looks very pleased with his men. Commercial Break "The Great" Gagne w/ Bodyguard Duke Myers vs. Carl Kellerman Gagne is aggressive tonight as he throws Carl out of the ring. Gagne distracts the Ref as Myers pounds on Carl then hurls him back in the ring. Gagne circles his opponent then clamps on the sleeper for the win. Resnick: Ok, Greg Gagne joining me along with the Duker. Duke snatches the mic from Resnick and hands it to Gagne. Gagne: Ok, two things, I'm the "Great" Gagne and I'm the only one who calls my bodyguard Duker. Get your head screwed on right Resnick or Duker will do it for you. Now listen up little Bradley Rheingans. You pulled a cute one and went out and got yourself a bodyguard did ya. What's the matter? Can't fight your own battles? Awww you need a little help? Ok, since you're so tough now, next week, you and me, right here on TV. Go ahead and bring that old washed up has been Crusher. Jeez, when was his prime? The 60s? What a joke. Come on Duker, let's go. Duke gets the mic and pushes it in Resnick's chest. Resnick: He's not the Greg I remember. I have to wonder what his Dad thinks of all this. Commercial Break The Cartel vs. Adrenaline Rush Action packed back and forth match as these teams are in full throttle tonight. Adrenaline Rush pull out their high flying maneuvers and quick tags. The Cartel come back with some brutal double teaming and rule breaking. All 4 men end up fighting. As the Ref finally gets control and guides Takano to his corner, Bassarab cradles Santana. The Ref turns around and jumps over to make the count but WHAM! Estrada nails Bassarab with a chair! The Ref signals for the DQ. Takano runs in but Estrada blasts him with the chair! Before the Cartel can inflict more punishment, THE SUPERFLYS hit the ring! They nail Estrada from behind. Estrada and his chair goes flying. They hit Santana with a jumping double headbutt as he goes sailing through the ropes. Estrada staggers up and the Superflys send him through the ropes with a jumping double headbutt! The fans cheer as the Superflys tend to Adrenaline Rush. Commercial Break The Vin Man vs. Neil Jordan Vinnie's lady entourage is back as they lead him to the ring. They each kiss him on the cheek and then he slowly walks up the ring steps. The boos are defining. Vin works his opponent over with hip tosses and high dropkicks. Vin slams his opponent then goes to the top rope and waits. As Jordan rises, Vin comes off the top rope and hits a sunset flip for the win. Resnick: The Vin Man Vinnie Valentino is back. Vinnie, last week you returned after being away for a while. I guess Kevin Kelly has moved on. Vin: Oh very funny. Look Rezzy, that meathead made a big mistake. After everything I did for him, what does he do? He finds himself an even bigger meathead to team with and turns his back on me. Wow, that's the thanks I get? What a classy guy that meathead is. But hey, I'm not going to cry about it. I'm going to make him pay. I have myself a partner and I'm issuing a challenge to those meatheads. Next week it's payback for the Vin Man...Yea! Resnick: Alright, another challenge made for next week. I wonder who's teaming with the Vin Man? I guess myself and the Golden Boys will find out next week. Commercial Break WrestleRock 86 coming July 3rd! The Spoiler vs. Arnie Goldstein Spoiler methodically works over Goldstein and finishes him off with the claw! Resnick: Next weekend at the Mid South Coliseum, the Spoiler will face Tony St. Clair in the opening round of an 8 man tournament for a shot at the AWA world title at WrestleRock. Spoiler, you've been racking up the wins and deserve to be in the tournament. What are your thoughts on Tony St. Clair? Spoiler: Les Thornton has been running his mouth non stop about St. Clair being the best. My resume speaks for itself and next week.... Resnick: WATCH OUT!!! WHAM!!! Spoiler is attacked by Paul Jones and his army! Borne and Oliver stomp down on Spoiler. They pick him up and hold him as Jones whacks Spoiler several times over his head with his cane! Borne and Oliver double slam Spoiler on the concrete, then pick him back up and hold him. Baron clamps on the claw! Baron wrenches away as Borne and Oliver hold him. Baron releases as do Oliver and Borne. Spoiler is out. Baron grabs a wooden chair. Resnick: That's enough! Borne and Oliver hold up Spoiler as Baron shatters the chair over Spoiler's head! Baron once again clamps on the claw as Oliver, Borne and Jones take turns stomping down on a lifeless Spoiler. Finally several wrestlers and officials storm out to stop this but the damage has clearly been done. Commercial Break Resnick: My goodness! I can't believe what we just witnessed. Unfortunately Ron Garvin and Bobby Jaggers aren't in the arena tonight. Leave it to Paul Jones to take advantage of that. I hope to give an update on the Spoiler soon. I know he's been rushed to the nearby hospital. What a disgusting act. (pauses) Last week we found out the first match signed for WrestleRock 86 will be El Canek facing Giant Haystacks. I would like to take you to some training footage of El Canek. Samba Pa Ti by Santana plays as we see El Canek lifting weights with the Desert in the background. Flashes of him sparring in a wrestling ring follows. Canek is shown press slamming several wrestlers. Resnick: Oh my, I would say El Canek is 100% and is ready for Haystacks at WrestleRock. I understand Jose Lothario will be back next week with some comments. Right now I want to bring out Les Thornton. Les, you have to be impressed with what we just saw. Now, last week you mentioned Haystacks would have a handler. Thornton: First things first. (Smiles) it looks like Sir St. Clair's tournament opponent has suffered some bad luck. What a shame. I guess Spoiler has some vengeful enemies. Oh well. Now you and all these idiots might be impressed with Canek's training but I'm not and I can assure you neither is Giant Haystacks. Yes, I said I was turning over Haystacks duties to a good friend of mine but you know what? I spoke to Haystacks and he said he'll go at it alone. That means he'll be totally unleashed. So if you idiots want to help Canek then you all better start praying for him. Haystacks is going to destroy, hurt, humiliate and annihilate him. Next week Haystacks will be in this very ring and will brutalize not one, not two but three men! Jose Lothario better be watching because Haystacks is going to send a very strong message to El Canek. Good day Ken. Commercial Break Chief Wahoo McDaniel vs. William Hillman Wherever Wahoo goes, he always has his fans. Wahoo looks great tonight as he puts Hillman down with the tomahawk chop for the win! Resnick: Wahoo McDaniel ladies and gentlemen. Wahoo great to see you back in the AWA. I was thrilled to hear you that you'll be in the big tournament next week. I know the AWA world title is something you would love to get your hands on. Wahoo: (Shakes Ken's hand) Ken, it feels so good to be back in the AWA. I came here for one reason and that's of course to be AWA world champion. Winning that tournament grants me the opportunity. So rest assured, I'm focused and ready. There's a commotion as Nick Bockwinkel arrogantly walks out. He stares at Wahoo then extends his hand. Wahoo pauses then shakes it. Bock: Wahoo, no doubt about it, you are one of the fiercest competitors to ever step foot in the ring. I know that first hand. You and I will meet once again in the first round. You know I have the upmost respect for you. However, my goal is to be AWA world champ and therefore I will be standing tall at the end of the night. You're first on the list my friend. Wahoo: Nick, you and I have gone at it more than once and the respect is mutual. But like you say, we both want the same thing. I plan on winning the tournament and I plan on getting through you first. Bock: Well, may the best man win. Another handshake. Commercial Break "Ruthless" Moretti vs. Todd Rooney Once again, Moretti comes out with his chain wrapped around his neck. The match is all Moretti as he steamrolls over Rooney before finishing him off with a running powerslam! Moretti smiles as he gets his chain. He goes back in the ring and hits Rooney before meeting Resnick on the outside. Resnick: Ok Moretti I have to ask. Why do you have to hit your opponent with your chain after you have already won the match? Moretti ponders this then shrugs his shoulders and smiles Moretti: No reason, I just like doing things like that. Moretti walks away leaving Resnick with a disturbed look. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink 'Beauty Shop' sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome once again to the highest rated segment in wrestling, the Beauty Shop. Wow what a big show tonight. You fans are so lucky because my guests are the new AWA world tag team champions, Curt Hennig and Brian Adias. Oh and since I get all the major scoops, they informed me that they will be known as the Awesome Twosome! Come on out champs. Hennig comes out wearing a bright orange singlet with the title on his shoulder. Adias is wearing bright orange wrestling pants with the title around his waist. They smile but the fans are still not sure about them. Britton: It's my esteemed honor to have the world champs on my show. Awesome Twosome is exactly how I would describe you. What a great name. Adias: Thank you Brenda. You know we are pretty awesome and these here titles prove it. Hennig: Brian and I did exactly what we said we were going to do. We rose the ranks and won these titles. And if I may say so it was relatively easy. Adias: Yea, I thought those Bruise Brothers were going to give us a tougher match. Hennig: So did I. Everybody kept talking about their impressive title reign but in the end we exposed them for the dancing clowns they are. Ok now the fans are booing big time. Britton: You guys are awesome! I know you have a rematch with them at the Mid South Coliseum but they should save themselves the embarrassment and not show. Adias: Brenda, unlike those clowns, you're a smart woman. I hope they're listening. Hennig: Those guys are such babies. They've been crying about foul play but all we did was outsmart them. Which wasn't to hard. They all laugh. Hennig: Bruise Brothers! If you're stupid enough to show up at the Mid South Coliseum, fine by us. Because we're the better wrestlers. Adias: The better team. Hennig: And the better men! Britton: I'm going to be there and I can't wait to watch your awesome wrestling skills in action. The Awesome Twosome, your AWA World Tag Team Champions. Until next week, tooooodles. Commercial Break Highwaymen vs. Gary Williams and Harold Bannister Highwaymen are on their A game tonight as they pummel their opponents and finish them off with the Spiked piledriver! Highwaymen cut a promo on Cabin Fever and say they're going to not only beat them for a National Tag Title shot at WrestleRock but they're going to give them a hurt'n they'll never forget! Commercial Break The Rock n Roll Express vs. Tim Patterson and Maurice Thorpe The fans are cheering like crazy during the entire match. RnR give them what they want and win the match with the double dropkick! As Resnick is conducting an interview with RnR, a butler walks out and hands Resnick a piece of paper. Resnick: It seems like an invitation. It says, we would like the Rock n Roll Express to accept our challenge next week on TV. Sincerely Priceless. Morton: Are these guys for real? Gibson: Well brother, lets give them an answer. Morton: Damn right we accept! Commercial Break Lance: What a program we had tonight. Issuing challenges was defiantly the theme. I've talked with all the parties involved. Next week, Greg Gagne faces Brad Rheingans, The Golden Boys have accepted Vin Man's challenge. You will see the Rock n Roll Express take on Priceless. Giant Haystacks will debut against 3 men. I've also been informed that in two weeks, Scott Casey will defend the TV title against Ruthless Moretti. The Bruise Brothers will make their first appearance since losing the world tag titles. I hope to have an update on the Spoiler. All that and so much more. Blockbuster main event when we come back. Commercial Break AWA World Champ Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. "Superstar" Bill Dundee and Kamala w/Curtis Iaukea The bell rings and Kamala goes right after Steamboat as Lawler and Dundee slug it out. Dundee punches Lawler to the ropes and charges but Lawler back drops Dundee over the top rope to the outside. Steamboat chops Kamala to the ropes.

Autistic Dragon Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Paul Jones's army has a impressive showing as they murder poor Dutro and, far more importantly, possibly take Spoiler out of the tournament before it even begins. Now that's how you reheat a heel stable. A heated tag match ends with a dq win for Adrenaline Rush and a Cartel asswhooping by the Superflys. Not a bad result all things considered. I must say I'm rather impressed a arrogant dickhead like Vinnie is able to convince so many people to hang out with him. El Canek training hard for what will be a totally unleashed Giant Haystacks. I have a bad feeling about this. Wahoo & Bockwinkel have a surprisingly pleasant exchange in route to their first round match. Ok Curt & Brad may both be great wrestlers but the fact remains that "Awesome Twosome" may be the most eye-rolling tag team name ever. Looking forward to the rematch with the Bruise Brothers though. If there's one thing the Highwaymen know how to do it's deliver a hurt'n. Ya Unnastan? We finally have a date for Rock n Roll vs Priceless! A insane main event sees the heels stand tall and the King and the Champ having to regroup. Way to build suspense for memorial day. Speaking of, doesn't look like there'll be any place better to spend it but the Mid-South Coluseam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Scorpio Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 This Mid-South Coliseum show is going to be MASSIVE! Can't wait to see how the Steamboat/Kamala showdown unfolds. I had a feeling Ricky would take a beating in the final note before the big show. Great visual with the kendo shot. Didn't expect to see King down for the count after that slingshot, but man does it add to the heat going in. My money's on Wahoo to win the 8-man tournament, but who knows! Just a gut feeling. Need some betting odds for this tourney, as there's so many directions to go. Bring it on! I'm onboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 The AWA is on fire with two big holiday shows coming up.... I love your show loop. When you can throw events in place like MN, Memphis and Chicago, you got some of the best venues and fans to pick from. I'm really interested in the Spoiler-St. Caire match. Tony has been a monster for you as he seems almost unbeatable. Maybe the Spoiler, even after the attack by the Army can be the one to take him out. Nice job using Adreline Rush to get some more heat on the Cartel-Superflys feud. Vin Man is the perfect Dawn of War invention. You have proven that it is not really your real life ring career that makes for interesting story lines. Nice job here. Bock vs Wahoo..... This will be fun! Brenda was on tonight... Awesome Twosome! Still want to see the Bruise Brothers get another shot. The RnR Express vs Priceless... I can't even begin to think whoi I want to see come out on top here. The RnR Express are on of the best ever but Priceless might be the best creation in our game ever. What a main event.... I could only imagine what Dundee tthought of his partner!
