spaldoni Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 AWA @ The Mayo Civic Center, Rochester MN 5-22-86 Southern Justice (Brad and Bart Batten) defeated Tony Garea and Steve O with a double hot shot on Steve O TV Champ "Cowboy" Scott Casey w/Sunshine defeated Rene Goulet with the running bulldog Billy Jack Haynes w/Ox Baker defeated "Rugged" Ron Garvin- As Ox was arguing with the Ref, Matt Borne (in street clothes) blasted Garvin with a chair, allowing Haynes to get the pin. Crusher defeated Duke Myers- Myers loaded his forearm, took a big swing at Crusher but Crusher ducked, thumbed him in the eye and cradled him for the pin. The Superflys and Cartel battled to a double C.O.- Everybody was bleeding as these guys kept fighting long after the bell rang. Kamala w/Curtis Iaukea defeated Grizzly Boone- Boone of Cabin Fever gave Kamala some serious shots but a distraction from Iaukea turned the tide as Kamala nailed Boone with a kick to the back of his head leading to the big splash for the win. The next match was paid to be billed as a special attraction Priceless defeated Two Local Talents- Fergie nailed his opponent with a million dollar knee lift, Morrow followed with a Falling DDT for the win. Lots of heat as Priceless arrogantly showed off their Billionaires Titles and even had a post match champagne celebration. AWA National Title Bout "Soul Man" Rocky Johnson (C) vs. "Crippler" Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones It was announced that Jones Army member Matt Borne had been banned from the building. Both these guys shined and gave the fans a solid main event. Johnson worked over Oliver with rapid fire jabs, dropkicks, back drops and body slams. Oliver came back hard, bending all the rules, adding in vicious stomps, punches and knee drops, not to mention Paul Jones getting his shots in. At the 20 minute mark, Oliver is in control as he hoists Johnson up and vertical suplexes him. Oliver slowly goes to the top rope. Johnson springs up, grabs Oliver and tosses him across the ring. Jones gets on the apron. Johnson grabs him. The fans cheer as Johnson holds up his fist. Oliver staggers up and goes for a high knee but Johnson moves and Oliver sends Jones flying off the apron. Johnson rolls up Oliver 1..2..3! Rocky Johnson retains the AWA National title! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Southern Justice is back! I don't know why but I find the visual of Crusher ducking a Myers loaded forearm only to thumb him in the eye funny. The war between the Cartel & the Superflys turns bloody and I'm convinced a stipulation is needed to settle this. Kamala vs Grizzly Boone! King Kong (and Godzilla) got shit on this! Love Priceless paying for their match to be called a special attraction. Paul Jones tried, The Crippler fought a hell of a fight but the night belongs to the Soul Man! Really enjoying his title run.

Scarlet-Left Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Curt Hennig, much as it grieves me, sure does make a great heel and it's a great way to build and, no matter how long his tag team stays together, I'm already counting the days until a break-up angle. It's good to see Rocky Johnson staying near the top of the card! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 5-28-86 "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. As you all know, this weekend at the Mid South Coliseum, there will be an 8 man tournament with the winner receiving a world title shot at WrestleRock 86. Also at the Mid South Coliseum, Ricky Steamboat defends the AWA world title against Kamala. We'll be talking about all that tonight. Tremendous matches lined up tonight. Greg Gagne takes on Brad Rheingans and I'm sure both men's bodyguards will be at ringside. The Golden Boys will go up against Vin Man and his mystery partner. And the Rock N Roll Express goes up against Priceless. Giant Haystacks makes his AWA television debut by taking on 3 men. All that and a lot more. Before we get to our first match, I have an announcement to make. Due to last week's vicious and brutal attack at the hands of the Paul Jones Army, the Spoiler will not be able to compete in the tournament. I've been informed that the winner of the Greg Gagne, Brad Rheingans match will get a spot in the tournament. That match happens right now. Brad Rheingans w/Da Crusher vs. "The Great" Gagne w/Duke Myers Things are tense but the early minutes stay clean as both men basically try to one up each other with pure wrestling holds and take downs. That all goes out the window when Duke reaches in and trips Brad. Brad stumbles into a high dropkick by Gagne. Crusher runs around the ring and pounds away on Duke. Gagne rolls to the outside and nails Crusher from behind. Duke regroups, adjusts his loaded forearm pad and blasts Crusher. Brad goes to the apron, jumps down and nails Duke with a double axehandle. Gagne runs over but Brad kicks him, slams his head on the apron and hurls him back in the ring. Crusher and Duke trade blows on the outside. They have a quite the brawl and end up fighting to the back. Brad reaches down to pick up Gagne but Gagne rakes his eyes and clamps on the sleeper. Brad fights it. Gets close to the turnbuckles, lifts his boots and kicks himself off the turnbuckles. Gagne still has the sleeper locked but Brad falls back on top of him 1..2..3! Both men get up. Gagne jumps up and down celebrating. Then stops and throws a tantrum when the Ref raises Brad's arm in victory. Resnick: Ok, Brad Rheingans gets the win and has earned himself a spot in this weekend's tournament. Brad, you will face Tony St. Clair in the first round. A lot must be going through your mind right now. Brad: Ken, this is a tremendous opportunity and believe me, I'm going to make the very most of it. Gagne comes over. Gagne: Yea, good for you Bradley. Hey, everybody knows I won that match. And everybody knows I should be in the tournament. St. Clair is going to wrestle circles around you. As for you and me, this isn't over. Brad: Fine with me Greg but right now I have more important things to focus on. Commercial Break Southern Justice (Brad and Bart Batten) vs. Peter Moore and Arnie Goldstein Good showcase for Southern Justice as they simply outwrestle their opponents and win the match with a double hot shot. Battens cut a promo and say they came to the AWA to bring tag team credibility because from what they've seen, there's not much of that around. Commercial Break "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Gary Williams Idol does a lot of showboating and flexing before winning the match with the Las Vegas Leglock. Resnick: Ok, Austin Idol, it'll be you and National Champ Rocky Johnson in the first round of the tournament. Idol: Listen up Johnson. Brother, you might be the National champ but I'm the teacher in that ring and your the student. At the Mid South Coliseum, I'm going to prove why I should be the National Champ by beating you. Once that's done I'm going all the way to the top darling. That's right, the Universal Heartthrob is going to WrestleRock to win the AWA world title. Johnson, you're nothing but a stepping stone. Commercial Break July 3rd, from the Liberty Bowl and live on closed circuit TV , the AWA presents WrestleRock 86! Resnick: A lot will be determined for WrestleRock this weekend at the Mid South Coliseum. We'll see who gets the AWA world title shot as 8 men will compete for that prestigious opportunity. And just who will be the world champ? Because at the Mid South Coliseum, Ricky Steamboat will put the title on the line against Kamala. Also at the Mid South Coliseum, the Highwaymen will take on my guests at this time, Cabin Fever and the winners will get a National Tag Team title shot at WrestleRock. Manny Fernandez, Grizzly Boone, you guys have been going round and round with the Highwaymen. A lot at stake for your next encounter. Manny: You said it Daddy! Highwaymen! We have one more fight to go and Grizzly and myself intend on winning it! Boos as the Highwaymen come out. Duncum: You know something boys? Ol Philly and myself really don't want to wait. Hickerson blasts Grizzly as Duncum punches Manny! Resnick runs for his life. All 4 men throw wild punches and fight all around the ring. Several wrestlers come out to try and break it up but both teams continue to tear into each other. Commercial Break TV Champ "Cowboy" Scott Casey w/Sunshine vs. Vic Dutro Sunshine cheers her man on as he wins the match with the running bulldog. Resnick: Scott Casey, you've had an impressive run as TV champ. The challenges keep coming because next week you'll be defending that title against Ruthless Moretti. Casey: Ken, I said I was going to be a fighting champ and I've been pretty successful so far. Moretti, get ready Son, I know I am. Sunshine: It's going to take a lot more than a chain to put this champ down. I hope you hear me Moretti. Boos as Moretti appears at the top of the aisle. Moretti smiles as he strokes his chain. He points to Casey then over to Sunshine as he grips his chain. Moretti exits. Casey: He likes to play games but it wont be enough to take this title. Commercial Break The Bruise Brothers vs. Trent Watkins and Carl Kellerman Bruise Brothers bring some intensity tonight. Cash hits the cross body headbutt and tags in Snowman. Snowman hoists Watkins on his shoulder and hits the running powerslam for the pin. Resnick: Bruise Brothers, I know you're focused on regaining the AWA world tag titles this weekend at the Mid South Coliseum. I'm not sure what to think of the recent attitudes of the self proclaimed Awesome Twosome. Snowman: Oh yea they're really something aren't they? Riding high, aren't they? Well they about to come crashing down! Cash here owes them one. Cash: Tell em Snowman. Oh yea they were buddy buddy leading up to our match and played me for the fool by low blowing me. No excuses, they got our titles but now everything is fair game when we go head on at the Mid South Coliseum. I hope the Awesome Twosome enjoyed their reign because it's going to be a short one! Commercial Break A highlight video is shown of The Fabulous Ones from their tour of Japan. AWA National Champ "Soul Man" Rocky Johnson vs. Vic Dutro Johnson back drops Dutro. As Dutro rises, Johnson hits a sunset flip for the pin. Resnick: Rocky, you heard the comments from Austin Idol earlier. A lot riding on this tournament. Rocky: Idol, you call yourself the teacher but (holds up the National title) I think this proves who the teacher is. (holds up his fist) I've got you in the first round and baby I plan on knocking you out to advance! Commercial Break Resnick: Please welcome out Tony St. Clair and Les Thornton. Boos as Thornton comes out waving the Union Jack Flag. Tony is wearing a Union Jack themed jacket and black slacks. Resnick: We now know Tony St. Clair will face Brad Rheingans in the first round of the tournament. That must throw things off a bit since I'm sure you have been preparing for the Spoiler. Thornton: How many times do I have to tell you. You will refer to this man as Sir Tony Simply the Best St. Clair. He's more than proven it. One year as undefeated TV champ. Never lost the title by the way. Undefeated on a European tour. This man is a pure wrestling machine. Now, Brad Rheingans has a little above average resume but he is nowhere in the same vicinity as Sir Tony. It's almost laughable. No wait, it is laughable. Tony: Resnick, I want you, all these inferior Americans and especially Brad Rheingans to know that I'm winning the tournament. There's nobody qualified to defeat me. This tournament is nothing but a showcase. A showcase of the future AWA world champion. All the competing wrestlers will find out just why I'm simply the best. Thornton: Well put Sir Tony. Now, Resnick get ready and watch as Giant Haystacks makes his dominating AWA debut. Oh and Jose Lothario, you better pay close attention as well. Resnick: That happens when we come back Commercial Break Giant Haystacks vs. Sam Smith, Willie Lopez and Chuck Turner The fans are in awe at the sight of Haystacks. All 3 men try to charge Haystacks but he shoulder blocks them all down. Haystacks slams them in a pile then drops a huge elbow for the easy pin! Resnick: Giant Haystacks, all I can say is that was devastating. Haystacks: What did you expect? El Canek! You're making the biggest mistake of your life stepping foot in the ring with me. At WrestleRock, in front of the entire world I'm going to squash you and hurt you and give you pain unlike anything you've ever felt before! Commercial Break Resnick: Before we get to our special challenge match, Vinnie Valentino has requested this time to introduce his mystery partner. Vin: Oh Rezzy, you're in for a treat. Introducing my partner, one of the original family members, ladies and gentlemen, Chick Donovan! Donovan struts out and hugs Vinnie. Vin: Chicky and myself are going to put those meatheads all the way down. Yea, we're going to grind them up. (laughs) get it Rezzy? Grind them up like meat cuz they're meatheads. Resnick rolls his eyes. Chick: (laughing) oh Vin Man, I missed you so much. Vin: Hey Chicky, lets give the fans what they want. Ah 1 and ah 2 and ah 3. Vin and Chick: We are family! They sing to the ring. The Golden Boys vs. The Vin Man and Chick Donovan The bell rings as the Golden Boys hit the ring. They double clothesline Chick over the top rope! They turn around and stare at Vinnie. Vinnie is begging for his life. Golden Boys look at each other and smile. They grab Vinnie, swing him to the ropes and put him down with a double elbow smash. Kelly hits a leg drop, Spivey follows with a leg drop. Kelly hits another leg drop and Spivey follows with another leg drop. Kelly goes to the corner. Spivey picks up Vinnie and slams him down, then motions for Kelly to do the honors. Spivey tags in Kelly. Kelly hoists Vinnie up and Snake Eyes him on the top turnbuckle. Kelly puts his foot on Vinnie's chest as the Ref counts 1..2..3! Donovan never got back in the ring. 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 highest rated segment in wrestling, the Beauty Shop. I have a special announcement. Due to me being me and the AWA needs more of me. Starting next week, I will be hosting the special WrestleRock 86 updates. That's right, I'll be announcing all the match ups as we get ready for the biggest event of the summer. And with me being at WrestleRock, I guarantee the Liberty Bowl will be sold out. Ok, I've got a sensational guest tonight. For the first time ever on the Beauty Shop, please welcome out the Superstar Bill Dundee. Boos as Dundee struts out. Britton: Bill, this is a thrill. Welcome to the Beauty Shop. Having a man with your credentials out here is a true pleasure. Right off the bat, I have to tell you how much I enjoy watching you beat up on that phony King Jerry Lawler. And I can't wait to watch you eliminate him from the tournament and in his own backyard. I hope you plan on relishing that. Dundee: Brenda, I'm glad you get it. Lawler is nothing but a phony and all I'm doing is exposing just that. Lawler and I go back a long way but every since I arrived here in the AWA it's been nothing but a joy beating him up match after match. Lawler! Beating you in the first round will be the coolest moment ever baby. And like you said Brenda, beating him at the Mid South Coliseum will be icing on the cake. What do you think Brenda? How will the AWA world title look around this waist? Britton: It will look fantastic. Good luck Superstar, not that you need it. Ok fans, until my first WrestleRock report, tooooodles. Commercial Break Baron Von Raschke w/Paul Jones vs. William Hillman Jones gets massive heat from the fans. Baron breaks the rules as he dismantles his opponent. Baron puts Hillman out of his misery with the claw! Resnick: Listening to these fans, I can tell they're not happy with what you did to the Spoiler. I understand the Spoiler suffered a concussion and was just recently released from the hospital. You and your goons costed him a chance at the world title. What do you have to say for yourselves? Jones: Oh like he was going to win the tournament. Get real Resnick. The Spoiler could have been something big here but he decided to embarrass me instead. That's something I'll never ever forget. Well all my hard work finally paid off. You wont be seeing that stooge around for a long time. Resnick, you're looking at a happy man. Baron: And that's all the people need to know! Resnick backs off as Baron raises the claw to him. Commercial Break Lance Russell: Fans I've just gotten word that this weekend's match between Cabin Fever and The Highwaymen for a shot at the National Tag titles will now be a bunkhouse tornado match. Jerry Jarrett wants this match to settle everything. My goodness that will be a fight. Not only will the Mid South Coliseum fans see that match. They will see Ricky Steamboat defend the AWA world title against Kamala. Last week we all saw Kamala and Curtis Iaukea do a number on Steamboat. Let's hear pre recorded comments from both men. Iaukea: (Kamala is pacing around slapping his belly) Steamboat! Your time has come! Kamala has proven to be a monster you cannot handle. This weekend your title reign will conclude. You will suffer at the hands of Kamala. You will be begging for mercy but Kamala will show you none! The AWA world title will be ours! (Manacle laugh) Steamboat: (Bandaged forehead) Curtis Iaukea! You and your beast did this to me. I might be a little banged up but let me tell you both something. I'll be more than ready this weekend. It's going to take a lot more than a few bruises and cuts to keep me down. Get ready because this Dragon is coming with fire! Commercial Break TV Main Event The Rock n Roll Express vs. Priceless Boos as Priceless enter the ring wearing suits, sunglasses and fedora hats. They take off their suits and show off their Billionaire titles. Both men are wearing sparkling green trunks with sparkling black dollar signs on the back. The place comes unglued when the RnR Express come out. The ladies are hugging them and the men are high fiving them. RnR control the first few minutes as they frustrate Fergie with quick tags and high speed maneuvers. Fergie gets double back dropped and bumps his way over to tag in Morrow. Morrow doesn't do any better as Gibson slams him down and Morton follows with a jumping knee drop 1..2..Fergie breaks it.

Fergie swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop 1..2..Kick Out. Priceless continues to work over Morton as Morton does the classic Morton in peril. Fergie tags in Morrow. Fergie backbreakers Morton and holds him as Morrow comes of the middle ropes with a knee to the chest 1..2..Gibson breaks it. Fergie comes in but Gibson unloads with punches. The Ref gets control.

On that note, please welcome out Jerry The King Lawler. Big pop as Lawler holds up his King's crown and smiles. Resnick: I guess it's only fitting that you meet Bill Dundee in the first round. Lawler: Indeed it is and you know what Ken? I wouldn't have it any other way. Dundee, I'm going to finish my business with you early and then it's time to focus on the most prestigious title in wrestling, the AWA world title. I've been the world champion before and believe me the King wants another reign. Dundee, I've got to get through you first and that's exactly what I'm going to do!

Autistic Dragon Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 The Spoiler's loss is Brad Rheingans gain as he earns a spot in the contenders tournament. But it seems Gagne isn't willing to drop this issue just yet. You know, You're the only writer i can think of who treats the Battens aka Southern Justice seriously. The Universal Hearthrob is at his arrogant best heading into the big tournament. Cabin Fever & The Highwaymen give a taste of what's to come on Memorial day. And it gets cranked up with the announcement of a bunkhouse tornado match! Cowboy Casey had better be on his toes next week because a ruthless challenger will be waiting for him. The Bruise Brothers are on point and ready to get their belts back. Henning & Adias may have bitten off a bit more than they can chew. A classic squash & promo from the Soul Man. Sir Tony Simply the Best St Clair is one of those infuriating heels who actually deserves his ego. I wouldn't be surprised to see him win the tournament. I'm honestly afraid for El Canek. The Golden Boys make short work of Chicky & Vin Man. Yeah! The Superstar stops by the Beauty Shop to tell everybody how he's the next AWA World champion. Good stuff. Iaukea & Steamboatboth chime in on the monsterous World title match. Is it possible that Rock n Roll just shut up Priceless? Somehow i'm skeptical. A great go-home show for Memorial Weekend.

Scarlet-Left Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 This built anticipation very well. I always like Greg Gagne being made to look like a fool and the Giant Haystacks spot/match was a bunch of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 First from Rochester Like Southern Justice getting a push here. You always prove that it is not just about who they were in real life but what we make them to be in this game. Billy Jack vs Ron Garvin would be a fun STIFF match. Glad that there wasn't a clean win here as we might get more of this feud. Kamala vs Boone... re-enforce the ring! Priceless.... another perfect Spaldoni creation! Really like the big push of Rocky Johnson. He is one of the guys we have underrated here in Dawn of War. Next from the Hammond Center.. Much like Backlund in the WWF, I enjoy heel Gagne more than babyface Gagne. I think the reason for this is that I know someday Gagne will take the beating I wish he always got. Rheingans might just be the person to do this. Idol/Rocky at WrestleRock is going to be one of the highlights for me. I enjoy them both and I can't wait to see which way you go with it. Same can be said for the Bruise Brothers vs Hennig and anyone really but Adias is a good choice. God I hate St. Clair... that is truly a compliment to you as I never heard of him before this game. Vin Man is finding it difficult in his return. Will be interesting to see if he can find some new friends to help him. When I saw the RnR Express vs Priceless, I was really excited as I had no idea what was going to happen. I like the RnR Express getting the win but woudl love more of this. Looking forward to the Mid-South Coliseum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted May 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 AWA @ The UW Fieldhouse, Madison WI 5-29-86 Tony Garea defeated Rene Goulet with a flying press Billy Jack Haynes (No Ox Baker) defeated Steve O by submission with the Full Nelson Adrenaline Rush and Southern Justice battled to a 10 minute draw "Maniac" Matt Borne w/Paul Jones defeated "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers - Jaggers hit Borne with the Hangman's neckbreaker. As Jaggers covered, Jones got on the apron and distracted the Ref. Rip Oliver ran to the ring, climbed the turnbuckles and crashed down with a knee drop on Jaggers. Borne rolled over and covered Jaggers as the Ref turned around and counted 1..2..3. Da Crusher defeated Duke Myers w/"The Great" Gagne by DQ- Crusher had things going his way until Gagne interfered and got Myers cheaply DQed. Gagne and Myers do a number on Crusher and hurl him out of the ring which caused serious heat with the Wisconsin fans. The problem was, Gagne and Myers spent to much time celebrating. Crusher grabbed a beer from a fan, guzzled it, grabbed a chair, entered the ring and blasted Myers on his back, sending him through the ropes. A shocked and terrified Gagne bolted out of there. Thundering cheers as Da Crusher stands tall. "Rugged" Ron Garvin defeated "Crippler" Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones- Payback time. During the match, Bobby Jaggers ran out and clocked Paul Jones then distracted Oliver. When Oliver turned back around, Garvin dropped him with a KO punch and got the pin. Matt Borne ran out but didn't do anything as he looked up and saw both Garvin and Jaggers waiting for him in the ring. The Superflys vs. The Cartel Hard hitting and brutal main event as these guys have one heck of a brawling match. At the 15 minute mark, Santana's head is busted open courtesy of a jumping double headbutt by the Superflys. As the Ref is guiding Snuka back to his corner, Estrada pulls out a pair of brass knuckles and busts Siva's head open with a brass knuckles blast. Estrada puts Santana on top of Siva. Estrada runs up behind Snuka and gives him a low blow kick just as the Ref makes the 3 count. Estrada helps Santana up and is whispering something to him. Santana clears the cobwebs, reaches in his tights and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. The Cartel pick up Siva, swing him to the ropes and drop him with a double brass knuckles shot. Snuka is still lying in agony. The Cartel stand over him smiling. They pick him up, swing him to the ropes and nail him with a double brass knuckles shot. Massive boos as the Cartel leave the Superflys a bloody mess. Winners of the Match- The Cartel Tomorrow night- The AWA at the Mid South Coliseum!

Autistic Dragon Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 A quick stop before Memorial day produces a hard hitting night of wrestling the good people of Madison will be talking about for some time. Love the scene where Da Crusher chugs a fan's beer to fight off Gagne & Duker. That ending scene though! Double brass knuckle shots! I'm doubting if the Superflys will make it to the Mid-South Coluseam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Way to keep the money coming in with a nice card before the Coliseum. Great use of your entire roster during the opening matches. I could just see the Da Crusher grabbing a beer then a chair. Borne vs Jaggers and Garvin vs Oliver would be great matches to have seen.

Autistic Dragon Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 No better way to get a Memphis crowd going then to start the night with the king beating the superstar. Feet on the ropes or not what's important is that the Universal Heartthrob advances in the tournament AND has a claim on another shot at the Soul Man's national championship. A spirited effort by Rheneigans isn't enough to prevent Sir Tony "Simply the best" St Clair from advancing. Bock & the chief go the distance paving St Clair's road to the finals. Post match attack shows how much Bockwinkel really thinks of McDaniels. The Highwaymen vs Cabin Fever is the bloody brawl we all expected (and hoped) it would be. Like the Beasts of Burden attacking right after the bell, shows that they actually acknowledge Cabin Fever as a threat. Lawler keeps his people happy as he sends Idol home. But the good times don't last as Dundee spitefully ruins the moment. Steamboat slays the monster Kamala with a little help from a returning Carlos Colon! I'm glad this feud isn't over. St Clair is (understandably) merciless as he punishes Lawler's alr injured ribs to the point where the referee has to stop the match! Great idea, Lawler looks tough for refusing to back down while St Clair looks like a proper bastard. Like Kev i had never heard of St Clair until you started using him but now i can't wait for him to lock up with Steamboat! Wrestlrock can't come fast enough!

Jerry, I know you have a lot on your mind. Jarrett: Thank you Lance and you're right about that. For the past few weeks, the interference and post match fighting has gotten completely out of hand here in the AWA. We saw a lot of that last weekend in Memphis and I've had enough. I've contacted a lot of wrestlers during the last few days and a few have contacted me as well. I've put together some huge matches for WrestleRock and all the fans will hear the announcements during the WrestleRock report in just a few minutes. I would like to congratulate Tony St. Clair on winning the tournament and tonight we will have the official contract signing for the big AWA world title match at WrestleRock between Ricky Steamboat and Tony St. Clair. Lance: Ok, I'm looking forward to the report as well as the big contract signing. Well let's get to the ring. Adrenaline Rush vs. Southern Justice (Bart and Brad Batten) Fast paced match to get things going. Takano and Bassarab use quick tags and high octane offense to throw the Battens off their game.

Saturday, July 3rd from the Liberty Bowl in Memphis and broadcasted on closed circuit television, the AWA will present WrestleRock 86.

Handcuffs will be hanging from chains all over the cage. On one side will be The Paul Jones Army consisting of Baron Von Raschke, Matt Borne and Rip Oliver along with The Cartel. On the opposing side will be The Spoiler, Ron Garvin, Bobby Jaggers and The Superflys! How this works is all 10 men will be locked in the 2 ring cage. The way to win is you have to have all 5 men on the opposing team handcuffed. That sounds like it will be an all out war. Well that's a lot to process. And this is only the first report. I'll see you next week and I'll have more matches to announce. Until then, tooooodles. Commercial Break "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Carl Kellerman Idol's in a good mood tonight as he showboats and flexes for the booing fans. Idol finishes the match with his Las Vegas Leglock. Resnick: Before we get to you Austin, I want everybody to know Ben Bassarab has been sent to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. Total unnecessary and senseless actions by Southern Justice. Idol: Alright, enough of that as you said, non sense. Let's talk about what's really hip and happening in the AWA. At WrestleRock, Austin Idol gets his much deserved National title shot. Oh darling everybody saw me beat him in Memphis and next time I do it, I'll be holding up the National title. Johnson! I got your number baby and you better be shining that title up real nice.

Steamboat, you may have beaten bar room brawlers and monsters but you've never faced a wrestling machine like Sir Tony. The man who put the King down in Memphis! It is our destiny to defeat you for the world title as this inferior country celebrates Independence Day. You all might have your independence but at WrestleRock, thanks to Sir Tony, the UK will once again reign supreme. Thornton grabs the contract and St. Clair signs it. Lance: Ok, Ricky, the floor is yours. Steamboat: Mr. Thornton, I'm well aware of Tony St. Clair's credentials. I know I will have to be at my very best come Wrestlerock. Just remember, I beat the great Terry Funk for this title and I've fought all challengers since. I'm coming to Wrestlerock to win and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Steamboat signs the contract. Tony: While I appreciate your confidence, we both know you don't have the intestinal fortitude, the talent, skills or ability to get the job done against me. I can out think you and I can out wrestle you. Every move you have, I have a counter. Let's have a demonstration shall we? St. Clair smirks and pushes Steamboat. Lance: Wait a minute, just hold on. We've had more than enough trouble tonight. Thornton: Sir Tony just wants to give these fans a little demo but it looks like their hero of a champion is a bit yellow. St. Clair smiles and pushes Steamboat again. Steamboat sets his title down and loosens his tie. St. Clair pushes him again. Steamboat charges but St. Clair executes a drop toe hold, then slaps Steamboat on the back of his head. St. Clair and Thornton leave the ring. A furious Steamboat gets up and goes to the ropes and challenges St. Clair to get back in. Thornton waves the Union Jack Flag as St. Clair looks up at Steamboat, smirks and says "I got you" WrestleRock 86 Saturday, July 3rd.

Autistic Dragon Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Jarrett lays down the law to start the show. (Frank Dusek may have been taking notes) Adrenaline Rush gets the high-octane win but ends up on the wrong end of some Southern Justice. This could be a fun rivalry. I like the idea of the Wrestlerock report, helps put over just how important the event actually is. The card is already stacked to the damn roof and knowing you it's not finished yet. I feel like I've heard of a wargames like cage with handcuffs before but I can't recall where. The Universal Heartthrob is primed,primped and ready to be National champion. I would advise the Cartel to take the Superflys a bit more seriously. The battle of the Billy Jacks is back on and headed to loser leaves town match at Wrestlerock! Also far be it from me to tell Ox Baker what to do but I really wouldn't count Cabin Fever out yet. Colon wants blood and he'll find it at Wrestlerock! Da Crusher gets under Gagne's skin ahead of the big tag match. The picture of Gagne throwing a tantrum made my night. The Bruise Brothers vs Priceless just feels right. I may have snickered a bit at Morrows "My champagne bottles have a lot of good memories of your head" line. The Superstar & the King are ready to end their feud once and for all! Bock with a simple yet understandable justification for his actions but he'll have to answer to the chief. Good thing they'll be in a cage cause Spoiler & co vs Jones's army can't be contained in a regular match! A physical match between Casey & Moretti solves nothing but leaves the door open for a rematch. I'm down. I like Thornton pointing out Steamboat has yet to defend against a scientific wrestler. That and the altercation at the end sets up an interesting story. Wrestlerock is gonna be insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet-Left Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 I concur that you've done a great job making Wrestle Rock feel special! I'm really looking forward to seeing Ricky Steamboat teach Tony St Clair a lesson - fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Scorpio Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 That Wrestlerock card is looking MEAN! Love the Bruise Brothers segment. Felt like I was right in front of the TV, watching it happen. And the heat-maker with Steamboat getting momentarily brought down, validating the heel's argument even if it's for a moment, was GOLD. I'm big-time in for this build to WR and the big payoff. Bring it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Sorry for falling a little behind here. Just finished the card at the Mid-South Coliesuem and all I have to saw is WOW! I liked how your first round matches continued to push so many of your angles. Lawler vs Dundee is the best way to start of the tournament and get the crowd right into it. Hope there was no traffic as this was a treat. Idol gets a true heel win with the feet on the ropes. I like how Idol gets this win as it keeps Rocky strong but Idol should now get another shot at Soul Man and the title. I thought St. Clair vs Rheingans might be the end of St. Clair's run but you have built him up to something special. Wahoo vs Bock is one I would love to have seen. Nice ending as I know we will see more of these two somewhere down the line. Cabon Fever with the win but here comes Ox and his beasts.... this is not for the faint of heart. Great angle. Lawler over Ido but in great Memphis fashion... here comes Dundee. Can Lawler survuve the final. Steamboat found a way to beat Kamala but I really love how you have made Colon out to be a wild man ready to brawl with anyone. If you ever change promotions again, WCC would be perfect for you and Colon. And the legend of St. Clair has just reached another level. I could picture the riot in the Coliseum after that one. AWESOME SHOW! I will get to the other shows a little later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 On to the TV show.... I like how you are continuously inventing new angles. A nice TV opener between Adrenaline Rush and the Battens end up in another full blown feud. This makes each segment of your show very interesting. WrestleRock is going to be HUGE! Can't wait for the Rage in the Cage! Good use of the tv to continue to hype the big show coming. Idol gets a win and calls out Rocky with a nice promo. The Cartel and The Superflys is the feud that keeps on giving! The battle of the Billy Jack's is very creative and I am looking foward to this one. Colon vs Kamala..... Colon has been awesome under you. He could go 60 minutes with Bock and the next night be in a 5 minute blood bath with some monster heel. I think this was him in real life also and why I think he was underrated. Great AWA names in Gagne and Rheingans but it is even more interesting seeing them on opposite sides. Add in Myers and Da Crusher and you have creative another interesting segment. So glad you found something else for the Bruise Brothers but know I may have to choose between my two favorite teams in the game. Lawler and Dundee is Must See TV. Great promo by Bock.... Not sure Wahoo would agree. If you told me to guess who Steamboat would defend against at WrestleRock, St. Clair would not have entered my mind. Now I can't stop thinking about it. Something has to give here and I can't wait to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 AWA TV @ The Hammond Civic Center 6-11-86 "From coast to coast, border to border and continent to continent, welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling" Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Huge show lined up. You will see the NWA National tag team champs the Beasts of Burden. Also in action will be the National champ Rocky Johnson. Wahoo McDaniel will be in action as well as the Highwaymen, Ruthless Moretti, Billy Jack Strong . The AWA World tag team champs Curt Hennig and Brian Adias will be here. I understand Curtis Iaukea and Kamala have something to say. Jose Lothario will give us another El Canek update. Big rematch as the Rock n Roll Express takes on Priceless. And our main event is a good one as The Superflys take on Paul Jones Army members Matt Borne and Rip Oliver. I'll personally be interviewing Les Thornton and Tony St. Clair. And finally Brenda Britton will give us another WrestleRock report. Let's get things going. AWA National Champ Rocky "Soul Man" Johnson vs. Neil Jordan Johnson is pumped up tonight as he fires off some rapid fire jabs then puts Jordan down with a big right punch. As Jordan rises, Johnson hits a sunset flip for the win. Resnick: Rocky Johnson, come on over. At WrestleRock you'll be defending that National title against the man who has a victory over you, one Austin Idol. Idol seems very confident that he's going to walk out of the Liberty Bowl with that title. Johnson: Hey, I'm not going to make any excuses. Yea, Austin Idol got the W on me in Memphis. All that did was got me focused and back on track brother. Idol! Come Wrestlerock lightning wont strike twice! I'm walk'n out just like I'm walk'n in, with this title! Cheers as Johnson holds his title up. Commercial Break The Highwaymen vs. Clinton Stitch and Carl Kellerman Highwaymen beat down their opponents and finish things off with the spiked piledriver. Resnick: I'm standing here with Bobby Duncum and Phil Hickerson, the Highwaymen. Last week it was announced that you two will be facing the Golden Boys Dan Spivey and Kevin Kelly at Wrestlerock. No doubt about it, whoever wins that match will surely be in line for a title shot. Boos as The Vin Man walks out wearing a neck brace. Vin: Rezzy, look what the Golden Boys did to me. Yea, they're real big men aren't they? Well it's now become my personal priority to see them get some payback. And I mean payback Vin Man style...YEA! Highwaymen, I can help you beat them and get you a shot at the tag titles. All I ask for in return is that you let me be in your corner so I can watch you embarrass those two meatheads at WrestleRock. Hickerson: What's the matter with you boy? Look, we don't want you around us! We don't need your help and we damn sure don't want your help! So get lost! Duncum: You unnastan! Highwaymen push past Vinnie. Resnick: Well, I guess you got your answer. Vin: They'll come around. They need me and they know they need me. See ya on the flip side Rezzy. Commercial Break Footage from the Memorial Day Memphis card is shown as Carlos Colon returns and gives Iaukea and Kamala a kendo stick beating. Resnick: Every since December, Kamala and Curtis Iaukea have been at war with Carlos Colon. At WrestleRock, those two will clash in a no holds barred match. Joining me now is Curtis Iaukea and Kamala. Kamala paces back and forth slapping his belly. Resnick: Curtis Iaukea, this all started when you told us Tiger Jeet Singh paid you a lot of money to eliminate Colon. Although you came close several times, Colon is still fighting and it seems he's even stronger than ever. Iaukea: (pointing his kendo stick at the camera) Colon! This is war! You hear me Colon? WAAAAARRRRR! It started with money but now this is very personal! Colon! You're nothing but a coward who had to attack from behind. You costed Kamala the world championship and that will cost you dearly! At WrestleRock, Kamala will be able to do whatever he wants to to you and there's nothing you or anyone in the AWA can do about it! Kamala is going to tear you to pieces and then rip apart what remains! Say your prayers Colon! Say goodbye to your loved ones because WrestleRock will be the end of you once and for aaaaallllll! Iaukea and Kamala leave a nervous looking Resnick. Resnick: (pauses) My goodness, ok we'll be back for a big tag team match. Commercial Break Footage from 2 weeks ago is shown as the RnR Express defeat Priceless. That's followed by footage from last week as Priceless interrupted A Bruise Brothers interview and ended up hitting both Cash and Snowman over their heads with their Billionaire titles. The Rock n Roll Express vs. Priceless Boos as Priceless stroll out with their Billionaires titles and set them on the ringside table. Morrow grabs the mic and looks at the timekeeper. "You will guard those titles with your life or we will talk to our good friend The Great Gagne and have you fired" Morrow and Fergie try an attack as soon as the bell rings but Ricky and Robert were prepared and pound away on Priceless. Robert punches Fergie into the corner as Ricky hammers away on Morrow in the opposite corner. RnR swing Priceless into each other. They bump off each other and stagger back into dropkicks. The Ref finally gets some order. RnR work over and frustrate Priceless with quick tags and double team maneuvers. The tide turns when Robert hits Fergie with a knee lift and covers but Morrow runs in and rakes Robert's eyes. Ricky runs in but the Ref guides him back. Morrow drags Fergie over and tags himself in. Morrow hoists Robert up and hits a delayed suplex. Morrow picks up Robert and executes a swinging neckbreaker. Morrow runs over and slaps Ricky. Ricky runs in but the Ref ties him up which allows Fergie to run in. Priceless scoops up Robert and slams him down. Morrow tags in Fergie. They push Robert into the corner and put the boots to him. Ricky has enough and runs over and fires away on Priceless. The Ref gets Ricky back. Fergie swings Robert to the ropes and goes for a back drop but Robert leapfrogs over then dives over and tags in Ricky! Ricky fires away on Fergie, swings him to the ropes and flips him over with a knee to the mid section. Morrow runs in but Ricky kicks him and scoop slams him down. Fergie nails Rick from behind with a forearm blast. Robert runs in and dropkicks Fergie down. Another pier six brawl happens! All of a sudden the BRUISE BROTHERS come out. They go to the ringside table and grab the Billionaires titles. The fans are going crazy as the Bruise Brothers look up at the ring and hold the titles up. Morrow and Fergie see this and are livid. They try to get out there but RnR double dropkick Morrow through the ropes. Fergie turns around as RnR get up and double dropkick him down 1..2..3! Huge Pop! The fans cheers get louder when the Bruise Brothers put the Billionaires titles on their shoulders and strut out. The timekeeper didn't try to stop them. Commercial Break "Superstar" Bill Dundee vs. Todd Rooney Dundee draws a lot of heat as he toys with his opponent. Dundee slams Rooney down and wins the match with the Bomb's Away. Resnick: Bill Dundee, you and Jerry Lawler will meet in a Memphis Street fight at WrestleRock. As you know. Lawler is still at home resting his ribs, thanks to you. Dundee: Oh come on. The man is nothing but a pathetic chicken! He's just scared! Lawler! While you're at home healing, just remember who put you there! That's right baby! The Superstar did! And if you thought that was a beating, brother just wait until WrestleRock! Ken, I can't wait! Commercial Break Billy Jack Strong vs. Trent Watkins Strong is feeling just that as he slams down Watkins then picks him up and hits an overhead back suplex. Strong lifts Watkins up and comes down with a delayed brainbuster for the easy pin. Resnick: Billy Jack Strong, last week Billy Jack Haynes challenged you to a loser leaves town match at WrestleRock. He says there's only room for one Billy Jack in the AWA. Strong: Yea, I'll accept his challenge and he's right, there's only room for one Billy Jack and you're looking at him! Strong gives the fans a double bicep pose before leaving. Resnick: Ok, looks like we're going to get the battle of the Billy Jacks at WrestleRock. Switching gears, last week we saw Southern Justice despicably attack Adrenaline Rush. I've been told that Ben Bassarab will be out for quite sometime. Boos as Southern Justice (The Batten twins) walk out. Brad: What do you mean he's out? Resnick: Because of your actions, he'll be out. I mean come on, there was no need for that. Bart: Look we're the ones who should be upset. We were going to challenge them to a match at WrestleRock. It wont be a spectacular event if Southern Justice aint there. Cheers as Jerry Jarrett walks out. Jarrett: Last week I said I was tired of all the post match fights and interference. Well, I wasn't kidding. WrestleRock is going to be the place to settle things. You boys will get a match at WrestleRock and I'll announce your opponents next week. Oh, you're going to like this. Southern Justice are thrown off guard but then huddle up and smile. Brad: Now you can call this the event of the summer. Bart: Resnick, go ahead and change the name to BattenRock! Resnick: We'll be back Commercial Break Chief Wahoo McDaniel vs. Vic Dutro Wahoo's knee is taped but he still works stiff tonight and wins the match with his tomahawk chop! Resnick: Wahoo, it's you and Bockwinkle at WrestleRock. I want to ask. How's the knee? Wahoo: Almost at full strength Ken. You know, I once had a lot of respect for Nick but now that's out the window. He says he wanted to teach me a lesson. Well Bockwinkle, I think you're the one who has a lot to learn. You might of banged up my knee but I'm a long way from done. At WrestleRock you're going to be taught a lesson and I'm going to make sure you remember it for a very long time. Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as Moretti hangs TV champ Scott Casey over the rope and chokes him with his chain. "Ruthless" Moretti vs. William Hillman Hillman backs up as Moretti threatens him with his chain. After things settle down, the match starts. Moretti destroys Hillman and finishes him off with a running powerslam. Resnick: Ok, just be careful with that chain. Moretti: (smiling) Oh I'm sorry, does this make you nervous? Resnick: Look, why did you do what you did to Scott Casey? Moretti: Because I should be the TV champ but he got himself counted out. Doesn't make him a champ in my book. Makes him yellow. Cheers as Sunshine runs out. Sunshine: I want you to know something Moretti! Scott will be back soon and he's coming after you. Moretti: Wow, Casey's such a man, he sends his woman out to fight his battles. Why don't you leave that wimp and hook up with a real man like me? The crowd pops as Sunshine slaps Moretti! Moretti grabs Sunshine and holds her, then puts the chain collar around her neck. He slightly pulls it. Moretti: Why don't you bark like the dog you are. Resnick: Enough! Stop that! Security runs out. Moretti smiles as he releases the collar. Moretti threatens Security with his chain before leaving. Resnick attends to Sunshine. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Champs The Awesome Twosome (Hennig and Adias) vs. Rob Orson and Gary Williams The champs are feeling good tonight. The match ends when Adias airplane spins Orson then tags in Hennig, who finishes the match with the Fisherman's Suplex. Resnick: Ok, you guys will be defending those AWA world tag team titles against the Rock n Roll Express at WrestleRock. Adias: Yea, we're well aware of who were defending against. We saw their match earlier and guess what? We're not impressed. You know why? Because we're awesome and they're not! Hennig: Those mullet heads don't stand a chance against us. They're not cool, we're cool, no we're awesome. We're the hottest thing going today and no tag team can deny that! Commercial Break AWA National Tag Team Champs The Beasts of Burden w/Ox Baker vs. Lyle Probst and Ray Glader As Ox leads the Beasts down the aisle the fans go crazy as CABIN FEVER plows over Ox! Beasts turn around as Manny puts Rip down with the flying burrito while Boone nails Nord with a devastating tackle! Cabin Fever head over to Resnick. Manny: Ox Baker said we couldn't handle the Beasts. Well I guess he was wrong! Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, we've had another chaotic show as tensions in the AWA are at an all time high. Before we get to our main event I wanted to get an El Canek update from Jose Lothario. Jose, Canek gets his wish and will face Giant Haystacks at WrestleRock. I'm sure you watched Haystacks AWA debut against 3 men. How is Canek preparing for this monster? Jose: Ken, every since Haystacks injured El Canek and forced him to vacate his beloved WWA title, Canek has had only one thing on his mind. Giant Haystacks is the most dangerous man Canek has ever faced but I want to assure you, Canek is one hundred percent and ready for WrestleRock. To prove that, El Canek will be in action, next week, here on AWA television. Resnick: Great news and I'm certainly looking forward to that. Massive boos as Giant Haystacks comes out. Haystacks: I don't care how much he's training! I don't care how much weights he's lifting! Weights don't fight back but I do! You run and tell your boy to stay home! Jose: I wont do that. You started this and El Canek wants to finish things. Haystacks: Maybe he'll change his mind when he sees this! To the shock of Resnick and the fans, Haystacks grabs Jose with both hands and proceeds to choke him down! Haystacks chokes away as Jose passes out. Haystacks picks up a lifeless Jose with both hands and choke slams him down on the concrete! Haystacks gives out a yell as Medics rush over to help Jose. Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, I'm at a loss for words. Jose Lothario was stretchered out. I'll hope to have an update on his condition next week. Very tragic. (regroups) Time for our main event. The Superflys vs. "Maniac" Matt Borne and "Crippler" Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones These two teams will be on opposite sides in the big Rage in the Cage match at WrestleRock. I think everybody knew how this was going to end. The opening minutes is a back and forth hard hitting match. All hell breaks loose when the Cartel hits the ring and attacks the Superflys! Borne, Oliver and Jones join in. The Ref signals for the DQ. Baron Von Raschke heads to the ring but is jumped by the Spoiler! Ron Garvin and Bobby Jaggers hit the ring! It's an all out fight! Spoiler is pounding away on Baron on the outside when Jones runs out and hits Spoiler from behind. Spoiler turns around and clamps the claw on Jones! Inside the ring, Cartel and Superflys are going toe to toe. Borne and Garvin trade punches while Oliver and Jaggers fight through the ropes. The cameras keep rolling as the fans and viewers get to watch the brawl for a couple more minutes. What a wild scene! Commercial Break Footage from last week is shown as Steamboat and St. Clair sign the world title contract. Afterwards St. Clair provokes Steamboat. Steamboat charges but St. Clair his a drop toe hold and slaps the back of Steamboat's head. Lance Russell is standing in the middle of the ring. Lance: After what I just watched, all I can say is I'm glad those 10 men will be in a 2 ring cage at WrestleRock. Fans, at WrestleRock, Tony St. Clair will challenge Ricky Steamboat for the AWA world title. Coming to the ring right now is the challenger along with his manager Les Thornton. Boos as Thornton waves the Union Jack flag while St. Clair arrogantly walks behind him wearing a UK themed jacket and black slacks. Lance: Les, Tony St. Clair won the Memorial Day tournament in Memphis to get this opportunity. Last week St. Clair fired the first shot against Steamboat. Les: First off the tournament was just a formality. Sir Tony has been the most successful wrestler in the world for the past year. The tournament just solidified that. I mean Sir Tony defeated the great King of Memphis Jerry Lawler, which just goes to show you what real wrestling royalty is. Now onto what's important, the AWA world title. The timing couldn't be better. A time when this idiotic country celebrates Independence Day, Sir Tony will be winning the AWA world title for the great UK. Steamboat, your reign is concluding at WrestleRock. Tony: Lance Russell, did you see how easily I took down the so called world champion last week? Steamboat is a credible wrestler but as everybody saw, he simply can't keep up with a wrestler who's simply the best. Huge eruption as RICKY STEAMBOAT runs out and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Les and Tony turn around as Ricky fly's off and nails both of them with a flying press!!! Steamboat rolls out if the ring as the fans are up and cheering. St. Clair rolls around, grabs the ropes and pulls himself up. St. Clair is in a daze as he looks out and sees Steamboat. Steamboat points at St Clair and says "Gotcha" Brenda Britton ends the show with the WrestleRock Report Brenda runs down the card.

Autistic Dragon Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 The Soul Man gets the crowd going with a lightning quick win then swears that the Universal Heartthrob that lightning doesn't strike twice. Looking forward to this one. Vin man better unnastan when the Highwaymen say no they mean no! It's gonna be all out WAAAAARRRRR between Kamala & Colon at Wrestlerock and I can't wait! Rock n Roll gets another w over Priceless with a little assist from the Bruise Brothers. Priceless is gonna want those Billionaires Tag Titles back. The Superstar is riding high heading into the Memphis streetfight against the King. The battle of the Billy Jacks is on for Wrestlerock. There can be only one! I gotta feeling Southern Justice just bit off more than they can chew. Wahoo gets ready to educate Bock. But I'm sure Bock has a few lessons in mind for Wahoo as well. Moretti shows how far his ruthless streak goes as he wraps the chain around Sunshine! Casey is gonna be seeing red when he gets back. Damn Henning & Adias are annoying. Go Rock n Roll! Cabin Fever remind everyone they know how to play dirty. Reinforce the ring before these animals get in there. I should have seen it coming. Jose kept coming around so eventually Haystacks puts him down! There's gonna be a international incident at Wrestlerock! Shockingly the Superflys vs the Maniac & the Crippler ends in chaos. They can't get in that cage fast enough. Steamboat evens the score against Sir Tony "Simply the best" Sinclair. Real chess game building here. The AWA is picking up steam heading into Wrestlerock.

spaldoni Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 AWA @ The Louisville Gardens 6-13-86 The Golden Boys (Dan Spivey and Kevin Kelly) defeated Two Local Talents with a double front face suplex. Vin Man was seen out in the crowd. Carlos Colon defeated Rene Goulet with a flying clothesline from the top rope The Great Gagne w/Duke Myers defeated Brad Rheingans- Da Crusher was unable to be in Rheingans corner tonight. Duke takes advantage of this and nails Rheingans with his loaded forearm behind the Ref's back which allows Gagne to get the pin. The Superflys and The Cartel battle to a wild double DQ Baron Von Raschke w/Paul Jones defeated The Spoiler- During a Ref bump, Spoiler had the claw on Baron but Paul Jones ran in and cracked Spoiler over the head with a chair. Baron regrouped and clamped the claw on an already unconscious Spoiler. The Ref crawled over and saw Spoiler was out and signaled for the bell. Cabin Fever and Billy Jack Strong defeated AWA National Tag Champs Beasts of Burden and Billy Jack Haynes w/Ox Baker- All out hard hitting match. During a pier six brawl, Manny rolled up Rip for the 1..2..3! Special Attraction Wrestling Match Tony "Simply The Best" St. Clair w/Les Thornton defeated Steve O with a floating butterfly suplex. After the match, Les got on the mic and announced Sir Tony as the next AWA World Champion. AWA National Champ Rocky Johnson and Wahoo McDaniel defeated Nick Bockwinkle and "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol- These guys gave the fans one heck of a 45 minute match. While Wahoo and Bock were fighting on the outside, Austin swings Johnson into the corner and charges in but Johnson sunset flips over him and gets the 1..2..3!

Autistic Dragon Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Hope Vin Man had a good seat as the Golden Boys showed off why he should probably stop messing with them. Colon puts down Goulet but a monster awaits at Wrestlerock. Gagne & Myers take advantage of Crusher's absence to reclaim the advantage in the rivalry with Rheneigans. I am shocked that the Cartel vs the Superflys couldn't reach a clean finish. Shocked i say! Paul Jones leads the Baron to victory in the battle of the claws with the help of a chairshot. Cabin Fever score a big psychological win with a pin on one of the champs. Sir Tony "Simply the best" St Clair dispatches Steve O on route to his date with destiny. I legitimately would buy a ticket for that main event alone. Soul man may have actually shut Idol up temporarily. Louisville sees another great night of wrestling.

kevinmcfl Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Awesome show as we head towards WrestleRock I thought you did a great job with your interviews this week as you really captured the character of your wrestlers. Unnistan from Duncan and Rezzy from VIn Man had me going! Great Job. It's going to WAAAR.... from Iukea would have sent chills down my spine. He was one scary dude with all that blading to his forehead. Hennig and Adias are becoming Perfectly Arrogant! Let's Go RNR Express! Great match for RnR Express vs Pricless.... You hyped up so much here.... the Express came out looking great while the Brusie Brothers and Priceless heat up their feud! WOW... Moretti puts the Dog Collar on Sunshine.... I smell REVENGE coming! Poor Lothario. It will be fun to see how you write up the match between El Canek and Haystacks. Some one is MOVING UP THE LADDER! I was really looking forward to see who came out on top between the Maniac/Crippler vs The Superflys.... I should have figured out that the Cartel wasn't going to let that go the distance. ON TO LOUISVILLE Great overall card with all the big names continuing their push to WrestleRock. That main event would sell some MAJOR TICKETS! Glad Wahoo joined the AWA as you know just how to use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
