Vinnie was wearing a T-Shirt that read "Kev crushed DJ's face!" The Harris Brothers defeated The Glamour Boys- At the end of a wild and fun match, the Glamour Boys put Ron Harris down with a double dropkick, but as the Ref was guiding Simpson back to his corner, Don Harris nailed Doll with a leg drop, then rolled Ron over on top for the pin. Nick Busick and Kokina w/Abbuda Iaukea battled to a Double DQ 'The Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol vs. 'Luscious' Lanny Poffo These two really went at it. Poffo had Idol in trouble a few times but Idol managed to ride the storm and have a fiery comeback. Poffo stopped the momentum with an eye rake then swung Idol into the corner and followed with a high knee but Idol moved. Poffo hit the turnbuckles with his knee. Idol quickly clamped on the Las Vegas Leglock and it was all over. Poffo slid out of the ring. Idol celebrated for a bit. Poffo limped over and grabbed a chair, then slid into the ring and whacked it across Idol's back. Poffo picked up Idol and executed a backbreaker, then climbed the ropes and hit a moonsault! Poffo went to the outside and grabbed a bag he previously took to the ring. He opened the bag and pulled out some lipstick. He colored Idol's face with the lipstick, then pulled out some glitter and threw it down on Idol's face. Poffo then nodded in satisfaction and skipped away. Big time heat for Poffo.

Autistic Dragon Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Big Guy Myers gets the crowd warmed up. Vin Man taking a page out of Tommy Rich's playbook with a custom shirt. The Harris Brothers steal one from the Glamour Boys. Busick & Kokina get too heated. Idol gets the win but Poffo gets the last word. Big 8 man tag to close the night with Putski scoring the win for his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I seem to have fallen a little behind here so let me catch up here! First back to June 2 I thought you did an awesome job with Gerry Morrow and his promos. The WrestleRock Rumble match is a cool idea. After everyone was upset at the weapons and injuries from Memorial Day, you throw them into a taped fist tournament where the winner gets a title shot. Nobody complains when their is a title shot on the line. Nice booking. I am also very interested to see which way you go with the winner. I have my gut thought on this one but I will keep it to myself. Also, perfect choice to add Tex Cobb into something like this. I think you made a smart choice when you decided to keep Dream Machine and Johnny Rich going at it. This is a nice mid-card feud that has legs. I think Duke Myers might be in some trouble.... Atlas is a big boy!!! June 9th... Ok... give Duke Myers some credit. He holds his own against Atlas! Crippler Ray as a manager... very interesting! The Killer Bees in the AWA... this is also very interesting! WOW!!! Wrestlrock is looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Here we go... AWA getting all the pieces in place. The Killer Bees are here... Poffo getting some huge heat... and please... Kokina is a beast who I wouldn't mind seeing take on a certain dude down in Texas right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted June 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 6-16-88 Footage from the Treasure Island Casino is shown as Lanny Poffo hits Austin Idol with a chair, follows that with a moonsault, then puts lipstick and glitter all over Idol's face. We then get comments from Idol in the locker room right afterwards. Idol is wiping his face off with a towel, then throws it on the floor. Idol: Poffo! You gutless coward! I've beaten you time and time again and the only way you can ever get the upper hand is with behind the back cheap shots. Let's finish this once and for all, you and me at WrestleRock! I would say man to man but clearly, you're not a man! What you are is a spineless sissy boy, plain and simple! Larry Nelson: Hello fans and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Huge show lined up, including a rematch for the TV title as Brian Adias defends against Chicky Starr.... Boos as Lanny Poffo skips out. Poffo: I heard Austin Idol's empty threats earlier and just couldn't believe it. I give him a much needed makeover and this is his gratitude. And now he wants a match with me? What a neanderthal! Austin Idol, I have told you this is a man's sport, and you have no business in it. If you wish to engage in combat at WrestleRock, it will end with your demise. Commercial Break The Ultimate Warrior vs. Ty Tucker The show starts with a bang as Warrior presses Tucker over his head, drops him, swings off the ropes and hits a body splash for the win. The fans cheer as Warrior shakes the ropes. Wait a minute! Giant Haystacks lumbers into the ring. Warrior turns around. Haystacks lets out a roar and yells "Come on!" Warrior runs in place, shaking his arms. Warrior swings off the ropes and tries a shoulder block but Haystacks doesn't budge. Warrior tries again but the same thing happens. Warrior swings off the ropes and goes for a flying shoulder tackle but Haystacks swats him away! Haystacks picks up Warrior and slams him down. Haystacks then hits a sit down splash! Haystacks sits on a motionless Warrior with his arms folded. Commercial Break AWA TV Title Bout Brian Adias (C) vs. Chicky Starr These two give the fans another fast paced see saw battle. Both men are on their A game tonight. Adias gets in some high flying offense, while Chicky breaks some rules and gets in his hard shots. Both men are slugging it out when once again the 10 minutes expire and we get another draw. A post match shoving match starts, then escalates into a slugfest when the commercial hits. Commercial Break Larry Nelson: (Rolls his eyes) Joining me now is Gagne's Gang. Greg Gagne, The Fortunate Ones, Tony Atlas and Crusher Blackwell. Greg, Crusher Blackwell goes one on one with El Canek tonight. This will be a preview to WrestleRock. Speaking of WrestleRock, are you nervous about getting in that cage with Canek and the AWA world tag champs, Hector and Chavo Guerrero? Gagne: Nervous? Are you for real nerd? Why on earth would I be nervous? I'm the greatest TV champion in AWA history! I have the greatest tag team the Fortunate Ones in my corner, add to that Crusher Blackwell, a human wrecking ball. So nerd, why in the hell would I be nervous? WrestleRock is going to be a night of triumph for Gagne's Gang. Tony Atlas is going to win the WrestleRock Rumble and get a world title shot! (laughs) Then, me and my gang are going to destroy and decimate that masked freak Canek and those grimy Guerreros. And then, the world tag team titles will be in Gagne's Gang! Tonight, will be a preview when Blackwell crushes that masked moron Canek! You know what nerd? I would like to officially dedicate our WrestleRock cage match victory to Mando Guerrero. Without him, none of this would be possible. Gagne's Gang get a good laugh as Nelson looks disgusted. Commercial Break Scott 'Powerhouse' Putski vs. Kokina w/Abbuda Iaukea Putski puts his speed and power to use but thanks to interference by Iaukea, his momentum gets stopped. Kokina looks like a beast as he works over Putski. Every time Putski makes a comeback, Iaukea distracts him and Kokina continues his assault. Kokina goes for a standing leg drop but Putski moves. Putski fires up and pounds away on Kokina. Putski hops on the middle turnbuckles but Iaukea grabs his foot. The fans cheer as NICK BUSICK runs out and nails Iaukea with a forearm blast! The Ref is distracted as he watches Busick pound away on Iaukea. Putski goes to pick up Kokina but CANNONBALL GRIZ hits the ring and clotheslines Putski from behind! Griz exits the ring as the Ref turns around. Kokina picks up Putski and slams him down, then hits a standing leg drop 1..2..3! Kokina stands up and is ready to hit another leg drop, but Busick hits the ring and starts pounding away on Kokina! Busick hammers Kokina to the ropes, swings off the opposite ropes and clotheslines Kokina over the top rope! Kokina lands right beside a fallen Iaukea. The fans are going wild as Busick tends to Putski. Commercial Break We get quick shots and comments from the WrestleRock celebrities. Irene Cara is excited to sing the National Anthem. Randall 'Tex' Cobb holds up the WrestleRock Rumble trophy and says he knows about toughness and whoever wins this trophy will be the toughest man in the AWA. REO Speedwagon appear together and say they're going to put the rock in WrestleRock. Tatsumi 'The Dragon' Fujinami vs. Guy Owens Fujinami makes his return since Zbyszko laid him out with nun chucks on Memorial Day. Fujinami looks crisp but something interesting happens. During the match, Larry Zbyszko comes out and just circles the ring. He's constantly yelling up and antagonizing Fujinami, but Fujinami stays focus and wins the match with a Dragon Suplex. Fujinami invites Zbyszko into the ring, but Zbyszko holds up his Mid-American title, points to his head, twirls his finger, bows, then leaves. BOOOOOOOO. Commercial Break The Original Midnight Express w/Norvell Austin vs. Sam Smith and Clinton Stitch Norvell applauds as the Midnights hit the double flapjack for the win. Cannonball Griz joins them at ringside. Nelson: Norvell, at WrestleRock, your Midnight Express face Synergy. Whoever wins that match will surely be in title contention. Not only that, but Cannonball Griz will be in the WrestleRock Rumble. Norvell: You saw what my main man Griz did earlier to Punkski. That's just a little sample of what's in store for Punkski and everybody else in the Rumble. As far as Synergy goes, they've been nothing but a nuisance and at WrestleRock, my Midnights are going to show the world why they are the best team going today! Sorry, Synergy! You just don't measure up. Commercial Break El Canek vs. Crusher Blackwell w/Greg Gagne As you would expect, before the bell rings, Blackwell, the Fortunate Ones and Gagne attack Canek. It doesn't last long because here comes Hector and Chavo Guerrero! All hell breaks loose as Gagne trips through the ropes, then sprints out of the building. Canek and Blackwell brawl as the Guerreros and Fortunate Ones fight all around the ring. Hopefully a steel cage can contain these guys. Commercial Break We see Brenda Britton and AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow standing in front of a WrestleRock 88 banner. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to another WrestleRock Report. Gerry, I heard the entire card is finalized. Why don't you fill us in on that. Morrow: HAHAHA! It is finalized indeed. We know Austin Idol will face Lanny Poffo and dat will be intense to say de least. Now, listen to dis.

Britton: Gerry, I know I speak for everyone, I can't wait for WrestleRock! On that note, tooooodles! Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, at WrestleRock, Bad News Brown will defend the AWA world title against my guest at this time, Nikita Koloff! The fans go wild as Nikita comes out wearing jeans and a polo shirt. He looks at all the cheering fans and raises his fist to them. Nelson: Nikita, you look better than ever. I want to ask you about last week's press conference. Things really got out of hand. Nikita: They did. It's not the way I wanted things to go down but Brown disrespected me and put his hands on me. You don't do that to Nikita. There's a commotion as Bad News Brown strolls out. He's wearing black jeans, black T-Shirt and his world title is on his shoulder. Brown: Hold on just a second. Why are you talking to this chump and not the world champ? Nelson: Mr. Brown, you were going to get your chance... Brown: Just keep your mouth shut, you beer belly sharecropper! (Looks at Nikita) Nikita, you pull off this tough guy act pretty well, but you and I both know you're scared. You and I both know you have no chance in hell taking this here title from me. You're scared right now. I can see it in your eyes. You think long and hard about this. I'll see you at WrestleRock chump. Brown slowly walks away. Nikita: Nikita not afraid of nobody! Wham! Brown hits Nikita from behind with a double axehandle! Brown stomps on Nikita, then hurls him into the ring. Brown grabs his world title and gets in the ring. Nikita staggers up as Brown charges him and goes to hit him with the title, but Nikita ducks and hammers Brown with fists. The title falls out of Brown's hands. Nikita swings Brown to the ropes and sets up for the Russian Sickle but Brown frantically grabs the ropes and pulls himself over and out of the ring. Nikita rips off his shirt and does his trap pose with tongue out as Brown looks up with eyes bulging. Nikita picks up the world title and raises it as the fans stand up and cheer.

Autistic Dragon Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Idol & Poff agree to one more match at WrestleRock. Haystacks sends a powerful message to the Warrior. Chicky & Adidas go to another draw so Morrow says to do it again with no time limit & Lori Anderson as ring announcer! Griz costs Putski the match but Busick is there to make sure Kokina doesn't inflict too much damage. Larry Z isn't ready to step in the ring with Fujinami yet. Austin & Gagne both predict big nights for their crews at WrestleRock. Nikita ends the night by sending the champ scurrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastStopTour Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Loni Anderson has just made the TV title match the most exciting one in the card! Warrior will have his work cut out for him against Haystacks. Can't wait to see who gets lippy with Tex Cobb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 AWA @ The Kosh Sports Center, Oshkosh WI 6-18-88 'Crippler' Rip Oliver defeated a Local Talent with the piledriver. After the match, Ray Stevens came into the ring and grabbed the house mic. He tapped his watch and told Oliver his time is up at WrestleRock. Synergy defeated Salvatore Bellomo and Gene Ligon with a double dropkick on Ligon. 'The Man of Steel' Tony Atlas w/Greg Gagne defeated 'Big Guy' Duke Myers- Myers was in command when Gagne hopped on the apron. Myers grabbed Gagne by his shirt which allowed Atlas to come from behind with a double axehandle and roll Myers up with a handful of tights for the pin. Dream Machine and The Harris Brothers defeated 'The Wild One' Johnny Rich and The Glamour Boys- Fun see saw match that ended during a pier six brawl when Dream Machine headbutted Rich with a loaded mask. 'Dynamite' DJ Peterson defeated 'Mr. Magnificent' Kevin Kelly w/The Vin Man by DQ- These guys tore into each other! At the end, DJ hit Kelly with a flying shoulder tackle from the top rope but Vinnie interfered causing the DQ. DJ grabbed Vinnie by the hair and hurled him over the top rope. Kelly charged DJ but DJ back dropped him over the top rope. The Unhinged Outlaws defeated The Gunslingers- In the final stages of an epic all out brawl, the Gunslingers hit a double bulldog on Deaton. When the Ref was guiding Mantell back, Barr went to the top rope with a cowbell and came down on Casey's head with it. Deaton rolled over as the Ref came back to count 1..2..3! Casey tried to break it, but Barr hit him with the cowbell. This was no doubt a preview to their upcoming Bunkhouse match at WrestleRock. 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer and Crusher Blackwell w/Greg Gagne defeated Carlos Colon and El Canek- Of course things got crazy in this one. All 4 men ended up fighting on the outside. The Ref was watching Canek and Blackwell go at it. Sawyer threw a wooden chair into the ring. Colon hit Sawyer and hurled him back into the ring. When Colon got back in, Sawyer shattered the chair over Colon's head. The Ref turned around as Sawyer covered for the 1..2..3! On the outside, Gagne hit the back of Canek's head with a loaded towel. Blackwell picked up Canek and rammed him face first into the steel post. Gagne then reached down and raised Canek's head, then slapped him across the face. The fans can only hope Gagne gets his at WrestleRock. 'The Russian Nightmare' Nikita Koloff defeated Cannonball Griz (no Norvell)- Griz put up a fight and rocked Nikita with some heavy shots. Griz attempted a corner avalanche but Nikita moved. Nikita went to town on Griz and finished him off with the Russian Sickle! After a majority of heel wins tonight, Nikita sends the fans home happy.

Autistic Dragon Posted June 19, 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2023 Oliver and Synergy get chances to shine. It takes two to beat the Big Guy. The loaded mask comes in clutch for a trios win. Vin Man tries to help Kelly but Peterson takes them both. The Unhinged Outlaws give the Gunslingers a taste of what's coming in the Bunkhouse match. Sawyer & Blackwell leave their WrestleRock opponents laying. Nikita puts down the Grizz to end things on a high note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 I think the hardest shows to write are the ones just before a big show. Most of our angles are set and there isn't much to do but repeat yourself. You do an awesome job with these shows with such entertaining things as Brenda and Gerry giving awesome promos and big brawls like Bad News and Nikita. While the entire card at WrestleRock is awesome, I am really into Idol and Poffo, Larry Z's match and the big title match. This is going to be awesome! Plus LONNY ANDERSON. I think I watched hours of WKRP in Cincinnati just to see her! I hope you add a nice picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Jack Punk Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 Everything for WrestleRock has had such a great build but I genuinely don't know which way this World title match between Nikita and Bad News will go and that's always what makes the most fun to me!

spaldoni Posted June 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 6-23-88 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. WrestleRock is right around the corner and with that in mind, we'll hear from AWA world champ Bad News Brown as well as his WrestleRock challenger Nikita Koloff. Nick Busick, Scott Putski and DJ Peterson will take on Kokina, Cannonball Griz and Kevin Kelly. In a rematch from a couple weeks ago, Tony Atlas takes on Duke Myers. All this and a lot more, so lets get to the ring. Synergy vs. Cal Collins and Walt Bannos Synergy gets the show going by hitting a double dropkick for the win. Nelson: Ok, Synergy, at WrestleRock you will face the Original Midnight Express. I'm sure the winners will be heavily considered for a title shot. What did you think of Norvell's comments last week, saying you two just don't measure up to his team. Armstrong: Listen up Norvell! We're going to outwit, out maneuver and simply outwrestle your Midnight Express! Rice: You're looking at the future of tag team wrestling! Synergy's coming out on top at WrestleRock! Commercial Break 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer vs. Carl Kellerman Sawyer punishes his opponent before finishing him off with a powerslam. Sawyer continues to assault Kellerman. The crowd goes nuts as Carlos Colon (head wrapped in bandage from a Sawyer chair shot earlier this week) hits the ring and goes off on Sawyer with closed fists. Colon pounds Sawyer through the ropes. The Ref tries to hold Colon back, but Colon pushes him away and goes to the outside. Sawyer grabs his chain and wraps it around his hand. Colon charges as Sawyer turns around and hits Colon! Colon's busted open and down. Security hits the scene as Sawyer circles around like a madman. Commercial Break Giant Haystacks vs. Arnie Goldstein, Clinton Stitch and Wes Hightower Dominating performance by Haystacks as he slams all his opponents on top of each other and drops a BIG elbow for the win. Nelson: Ok, Giant Haystacks, you go one on one with the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleRock. We all saw your encounter with him last week and I understand Warrior suffered bruise ribs but will be ready at WrestleRock. Haystacks: Last week was a message! I was just toying with him! Ultimate Warrior! I'm going to unleash everything I have on you at WrestleRock and I guarantee you won't be walking out! Commercial Break We come back and see Chicky Starr on a golf course. He hits the ball onto the green. He smiles at his accomplishment and starts walking. "As you can see, I'm relaxed and confident. Just like I am in the ring. All mi amigos need a TV champion they can be proud of. The AWA needs a TV champion with superstar charisma and a face like mine." Chicky gets on the green and measures up his putt. "At WrestleRock, I'm going home with the TV title and Loni Anderson. Muy Caliente!" Chicky sinks the putt and nods with approval. Back Live Nelson: It seems to me; Chicky Starr may be a bit to overconfident. He better not underestimate the current TV champ Brian Adias. Switching gears, with me now is Ray Stevens. Ray, the world wants to know who you're bringing in to face Rip Oliver at WrestleRock. Stevens: The world and Rip Oliver are just going to have to wait. Trust me, it will be worth it. Rip Oliver, I've been waiting for this moment. I will give you a hint. The man you're going to wrestle is beyond crippling. He's a bone crushing, body bruising, wrecking machine! I'm going to relish watching you suffer and get the life beat out of you. Your time's coming Oliver, tick tock, tick tock. Commercial Break 'Dynamite' DJ Peterson, Scott 'Powerhouse' Putski and Nick Busick vs. 'Mr. Magnificent' Kevin Kelly w/The Vin Man, Cannonball Griz w/Norvell Austin and Kokina w/Abbuda Iaukea All 6 men will be in the WrestleRock Rumble and we get a preview here as the match starts with a bang. Kokina and Busick go toe to toe. Putski and Griz brawl in the corner. DJ tackles Kelly and punches away. After a couple minutes of this, the Ref somehow manages to get order. It doesn't last long with 3 managers on the outside. Once they tried to interfere, the pier six brawl was on! During all the chaos, Norvell was holding Putski as Griz charged, but Putski moved. Norvell goes flying as Putski nails a staggering Griz with the Polish Hammer 1..2..3! After the bell rings, Kokina and Iaukea miss a double clothesline on Busick, Busick swings back and clotheslines both men down. While that's going on, DJ presses Vinnie up and throws him onto Kelly. The pissed off heels leave as the babyfaces celebrate. It should be noted that Kokina was giving Cannonball Griz a dirty look. Commercial Break 'Luscious' Lanny Poffo vs. Phil Elliot Poffo irks the fans with his flamboyance and arrogance. Poffo hits the moonsault and it's all over. Wait a minute! Austin Idol hits the ring and clotheslines Poffo from behind. Idol hurls Poffo to the outside. Idol goes out, picks up Poffo and swings him into the steel post. Idol pulls out something and holds it up. It's a baby pacifier. Idol reaches down and sticks it in Poffo's mouth. Idol goes over to Nelson. Idol: You said it yourself Poffo. This is a man's sport and darling, you clearly don't belong. You're a child in a man's sport. You can suck on that pacifier until WrestleRock. Commercial Break AWA National Tag Team Champs Venomous vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez The champs look smooth tonight. Cobra hits a snap suplex as Kat follows with the frog splash for the win. Nelson: Standing with me are the AWA National tag team champs, Venomous. At WrestleRock, your opponents will be Badd Co. Right now I would like to address the controversy that surrounded your last match with them. They defeated you in a non title bout to earn this shot. However, during that match, the Killer Bees made a surprise appearance, and a lot of people think caused quite the distraction. We have not seen or heard from the Killer Bees since. What do you guys make of all this? Before they can answer, Baby Doll and Badd Co. make their way over. Baby Doll: Don't say a word Nelson, just stand there like the puppet you are and hold the mic. Why are you talking about the Killer Bees? You should be talking about Badd Co. (looks at Venomous) and you two should be worried about Badd Co. Badd Co. were born for an event like WrestleRock. These guys are rock stars. WrestleRock is going to be the gala of the year for one reason and that's watching Badd Co. hold up their newly won AWA National tag team titles. That will be the kodak moment of a lifetime. Venomous, you're old news and it's time for something fresh. Before Venomous can respond, Baby Doll leads her men away. Venomous blow it off and hold up their titles. Commercial Break 'The Man of Steel' Tony Atlas w/Greg Gagne vs. 'Big Guy' Duke Myers Gagne gets in Myers face and pushes him. Myers grabs Gagne and lifts him in the air. Atlas nails Myers from behind. Oh No! Crusher Blackwell and The Fortunate Ones hit the ring. Gagne's Gang stomp down on Myers. The Fortunate Ones hold Myers. Gagne sizes Myers up, then puts him down with a standing dropkick. Gagne's Gang smile and applaud Greg. Greg takes a bow. Blackwell and Atlas pull up Myers and hold him as Gagne puts him down with another dropkick. Gagne's Gang once again applauds. Gagne says 'One more time' Everybody lifts Myers up. Hold on! El Canek and The Guerreros hit the ring! Greg and his gang quickly exit. Canek and the Guerreros stand over Myers. Security and officials run out to make sure things don't escalate. Greg taunts Canek and the Guerreros by laughing, shuffling his feet and waving his fists. Security and officials are holding Canek and the Guerreros back. Blackwell, Atlas and the Fortunate Ones lift Greg up on their shoulders as Gagne holds his arms up in victory. Commercial Break The Gunslingers vs. Todd Rooney and Ray Glader Gunslingers hit the double running bulldog for the win. Gunslingers cut a passionate promo while swinging their bull ropes. They say they're gunning for the Unhinged Outlaws and at WrestleRock they're going to beat them down in the final showdown! Bunkhouse style! Commercial Break Nelson: Coming out now is the reigning AWA world champion, Bad News Brown. Brown is wearing black jeans and a black T-Shirt with the world title on his shoulder. Nelson: It all happens at WrestleRock. You and Nikita Koloff for all the marbles. I'm talking about the AWA world title. Now, Mr. Brown, there are some people saying you're a little worried about Nikita and that's why you've seemed eager for confrontations recently. Like last week for example. Brown: That's enough outta you Nelson! Do I look worried? Nikita Koloff is nothing but a spineless cockroach! As a matter of fact, we don't have to wait for WrestleRock. If that coward Koloff has any guts, he'll come out here right now and meet me in this here ring. Brown sets his title down, takes off his shirt and gets in the ring. The fans go wild as Nikita sprints out and into the ring! Brown and Nikita have a furious exchange! Security and Officials are on high alert and hit the ring quick. They pull the men apart but Brown and Nikita break free and continue to brawl! Several prelim wrestlers come out to help. It's a wild scene. Commercial Break Brenda Britton and AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow are standing in front of a WrestleRock Banner. They talk about WrestleRock and the 12 big matches. We then get promos from the WrestleRock celebrities. "I'm Irene Cara and what a feeling it will be to sing the National Anthem at WrestleRock" "I'm Randall 'Tex' Cobb and trust me, whoever wins the WrestleRock Rumble will deserve this trophy I present to them." "I'm Loni Anderson and it's my privilege to be the guest ring announcer for the AWA TV Title bout. After all, I know a little something about TV" (Loni smiles and winks at the camera.) After the wrestling, get ready to rock with REO Speedwagon!

Autistic Dragon Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 Synergy is tuned up and ready for the OG Midnights. Sawyer busts Colon open one more time before WrestleRock. Haystacks is gonna be a hell of a mountain for the Warrior to climb. Chicky is taking it easy before the big match. The two monsters have a misfire leading to a trios loss. I'd keep an eye on Kokina if I were Grizz. Idol puts Poffo in time out. Baby Doll puts Venomous on notice. Another gang fight between Gagne's Gang & foes. The Gunslingers are looking to run the Unhinged Outlaws clear outta town. Brown calls out Nikita and we get these two throwing bombs to close the show.

Most of our angles are set and there isn't much to do but repeat yourself. All you have to do is sell the big show. Not much thinking to be done at that point as all the work has already been put in. All the celebrities look MINUS REO Speedwagon. UGH! Not the best choice of musical talent. The show itself is going to be a good one. Would not be surprised if one or more title changes hands.

spaldoni Posted June 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 6-30-88 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. We're a mere 2 weeks away from WrestleRock 88 and we'll be talking a lot about that tonight. So much going on, let's get to the ring. The Unhinged Outlaws vs. Reggie Johnson and Cleet Stevens Outlaws beat their opponents up pretty bad before Barr executes a backbreaker on Johnson and holds him in that position as Deaton comes off the top rope with a stomp to Johnson's chest for the win. The Outlaws grab their bull ropes and beat Stevens with them before swinging him to the ropes and clotheslining him down with the bull ropes. Outlaws cut a wild promo and say at Wrestlerock, they're going to run those city slicking Gunslingers out of town...for good! Commercial Break WrestleRock Report #1 Brenda Britton is standing in front of the WrestleRock banner. She talks about the upcoming Carribean Death Match at WrestleRock between Carlos Colon and Buzz Sawyer. She shows highlights of their violent altercations in the past months and takes us to pre recorded comments. Sawyer: (manacle laugh while swinging his chain) I came to the AWA to have some fun and I've had a blast making Carlos Colon bleed! Colon! At WrestleRock I'm going to make you bleed and suffer and make sure you leave on a stretcher! (more laughing) What's more fun than that? Colon: (bandaged head) Buzz Sawyer! For some deranged reason you have targeted me. Big mistake! At WrestleRock, I'm going to show you why I've never lost a Carribean Death match. Trust me, I will get the last laugh! Commercial Break Nick Busick vs. Trey Rogers Busick ends the match with the Spinebuster Slam! Busick cuts a promo and talks about how it was an honor to hold the AWA TV title for a year, then says he's going to win the WrestleRock Rumble and get that world title shot. It would be icing on the cake to put Kokina down with the Spinebuster Slam! Commercial Break AWA Mid-American Champ Larry Zbyszko vs. Lionel Evans Zbyszko is at the ropes arguing with the fans. This goes on for a while. The fans cheer as Tatsumi Fujinami enters the ring. Zbyszko's back is still turned. Fujinami says something to Evans. Evans smiles and leaves the ring. Zbyszko is still antagonizing the fans. Fujinami runs over, grabs Zbyszko and executes a bridging back suplex. The Ref plays along and counts 1..2..3! The fans are up and cheering. Fujinami rolls out of the ring. A pissed off Zbyszko gets up and looks down at Fujinami. Fujinami smiles and taps his temple as if to say, he can play mind games too. Commercial Break WrestleRock Report #2 Brenda is back and talking about the history between Austin Idol and Lanny Poffo. They will meet at WrestleRock. She takes us to comments from both men. Poffo: Austin Idol, you're nothing but a weak and feeble man. It was real funny sticking a pacifier in my mouth last week after you attacked me from behind like the gutless coward you are. At WrestleRock we will engage in fisticuffs, and I will show you that I am a real man and prove to everyone what I've been saying all along, a boy like you doesn't belong in a man's sport like wrestling. Idol: Oh darling it seems Lanny Poffo has put quite the spin on what's been going down. Poffo, you started something and brother I'm going to finish it. At WrestleRock, you're getting in the ring with the Universal Heartthrob daddy and when I clamp on the Las Vegas Leglock, you'll be screaming like the little girl you are! Commercial Break Greg Gagne w/Crusher Blackwell and The Fortunate Ones vs. Trent Watkins Gagne's Gang escorts Greg into the ring. Gagne takes off his 70s style track suit and does some jumping jacks with an arrogant smile on his face. Throughout the match, Blackwell and the Fortunate Ones interfere, just to rile up the crowd. Gagne swings Watkins to the ropes and hits a high flying dropkick for the win. At ringside, the Fortunate Ones towel off Gagne's head as Blackwell rubs his shoulders. Tony Atlas comes out and shakes Gagne's hand. Nelson: (rolling his eyes) Greg, I know you and your gang had a good time tonight, but things might be a bit different at WrestleRock, when you face El Canek and The Guerreros in the steel cage. Gagne: Pardon me? Wake up Nerd, did you just see my splendid performance in that ring? That's just a sample of what that masked freak Canek and those goober Guerreros are going to get. Look around you. I've got the biggest and baddest monster in the AWA, Crusher Blackwell. I've got the greatest team in the AWA, the Fortunate Ones. And oh yea, the AWA world tag titles will be on the line, which means we're going home with the gold. WrestleRock is going to be the night of Gagne's Gang. Tony Atlas is winning the Rumble and then me and my gang are walking out of that cage, heads held high along with the world titles! And we're dedicating our victory to Mando Guerrero. We're out of here! Gagne walks away as his gang pushes past Nelson. Greg walks back to Nelson and throws his towel at him. Gagne: Keep that as a souvenir. Commercial Break We come back and see Chicky Starr at his home, sitting in a jacuzzi. There's a trophy case behind him. Starr: Picture this. The AWA TV title sitting behind me while Loni Anderson is sitting right here beside me. All that will happen after WrestleRock. Back Live AWA TV Champ Brian Adias vs. Todd Rooney Adias hits a missile dropkick and follows with a cradle suplex for the win. Nelson: Brian Adias, at WrestleRock, you will be defending your TV title against Chicky Starr. Chicky seems very relaxed these days. Adias: It seems one Chicky Starr is taking this match very lightly and it seems he's taking me very lightly. I want everyone to know, including you Chicky, that I'm in the best shape of my life and I've never been more prepared. I'm walking out of WrestleRock, just like I'm walking in, with the AWA TV title! And oh yea, it'll be nice hearing Loni Anderson announce me as the winner. Commercial Break WrestleRock Report #3 Brenda talks about the much anticipated Steel Cage handicap match where the AWA world tag team titles will be on the line. She takes us to comments from El Canek and The Guerreros. Canek, Hector and Chavo Guerrero are sitting in the hospital with Mando Guerrero. Mando: If I had one wish, it would be to compete in the cage match with my brothers and El Canek. I know that can't happen but I also know these 3 men will take care of business. Chavo: Gagne! We've waited a long time for this and your world comes crashing down at WrestleRock! Nobody can save you! Hector: I'll tell you this Gagne, you're going to be in a world of hurt and your so called gang won't be able to stop the beating we put on you! Mando holds up a coconut with Gagne's picture on it. He sets it on a table. The coconut explodes when Canek hits it with his fist. Commercial Break 'The Wild One' Johnny Rich and The Glamour Boys vs. Dream Machine and The Harris Brothers All six will be in the WrestleRock Rumble and we get a good preview tonight. Pier six brawl kicks off as Dream and Rich go toe to toe while the Glamour Boys and Harris Brothers fight to the outside. After a while, the Ref gets some kind of order. The match goes back and forth for a few minutes with everybody getting a quick chance to shine. Of course another pier six brawl breaks out. Dream lowblows Rich and hurls him over the top rope. Dream puts a foreign object in his mask and headbutts Simpson from behind. Doll goes after Dream, but the Harris Brothers stop him with stereo boots to the face. Ron covers Doll as the Ref counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOOO! Commercial Break Nelson: I'm sure Johnny Rich and the Glamour Boys will be gunning for Dream Machine and The Harris Brothers in the WrestleRock Rumble. Speaking of WrestleRock. Please welcome out Nikita Koloff. Huge ovation as Nikita pumps his fist to them. Nelson: Ok Nikita, at WrestleRock, you will face Bad News Brown for the AWA world title. You guys have had some intense showdowns and it all gets settled at WrestleRock. What's going through your head? Before Nikita can talk, a ring attendant walks out with a huge box. He sets the box down and gives a note to Larry Nelson. Nelson reads it. Nelson: It says this is a gift for you Nikita, from the president of your fan club. Nikita looks over the box, then opens it. He pulls out a boom box. He's puzzled as he looks it over. All of a sudden, Bad News Brown comes out from under the ring. WHAM! Bad News puts Nikita down with a ghetto blaster from behind! Nelson: What the hell are you doing?!?! Brown picks up the boom box. Officials come out to help Nikita. They lift him up. WHAM! Brown hits Nikita in the gut with the boom box! Brown: There you go Nikita. That's what you're in for at WrestleRock! I've been getting a bit soft and it was time to bring out the Harlem street fighter. I just proved you're soft in the gut. You're not taking my title and that's a damn fact! Before the show ends, the WrestleRock celebrities, Irene Cara, Randall 'Tex' Cobb, Loni Anderson and Last Stop Tour's favorite band, REO Speedwagon give WrestleRock promos. WrestleRock 88 Saturday July 15th From the Metrodome, Minneapolis MN Live on pay per view (See previous posts for full card) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 The Outlaws show everyone how Unhinged they can be. With his strength, Busick is definitely a favorite in the WrestleRock Rumble. Fujinami gets on over on Larry Z. I agree with Adidas, Chicky may be counting his chickens before they hatch. The two sides stepping in the cage for the tag team titles both seem ready for war. Dream Machine & The Harris Brothers look ready to rumble babay. Brown gets clever with an ambush on Nikita.

kevinmcfl Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I thought having Brenda come out for 3 Wrestlerock promos was a great way to hype up the big show. You've really developed all of these angles so well. Can't wait for the big payoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastStopTour Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 ... and Last Stop Tour's favorite band, REO Speedwagon give WrestleRock promos. You know I had to laugh at that! This TV did everything it needed to do and more. You sold WrestleRock to anyone sitting on the fence about it. You also put some doubt out there about Nikita's ability to come in and challenge Bad News Brown for the title. Really good stuff ... MINUS REO Speedwagon.

LowBlowPodcast Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 "Randall 'Tex' Cobb" is one of my all time favorite characters in movies... many great spots... here... he gets us pumped for an event to kick AWA in gear... I love it. Bad News and Nikita... this is what I've been waiting for. Nikita is a little past is 1985 prowess... but damn he can still be something fun in that ring. I am going with the News... Bad News that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted July 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 AWA WrestleRock 88 Preview Show Saturday July 15th The Metrodome Minneapolis MN Live on Pay Per View Singing the National Anthem- Irene Cara Synergy vs. The Original Midnight Express w/Norvell Austin Brian Adias and Ricky Rice came to the AWA as Synergy. When Brian Adias won the TV title, he wasn't going to leave Rice hanging, so he went out and replaced himself with Scott Armstrong. Armstrong and Rice had immediate chemistry and racked up wins. They were soon targeted by the Midnight Express. The Midnights have had their ups and downs in the AWA but look to reestablish themselves with a big win at WrestleRock, that Norvell guarantees. Whoever wins this match will definitely be in line for a title shot. 'Crippler' Rip Oliver vs. ??? w/Ray Stevens A few months ago, Stevens showed up in the AWA, attacked Oliver and put him out of action for a while. Stevens claimed he was the only one worthy of the Crippler name. At Champagne Slam, Oliver got sweet revenge by piledriving and pinning Stevens. Oliver won the right to the Crippler name. A couple months later, Stevens reappeared and confronted Oliver. Stevens announced he had become a manager and signed real wrecking machine. He dared Oliver to face his client at WrestleRock and of course Oliver accepted. Bunkhouse Match The Gunslingers vs. The Unhinged Outlaws Scott Casey and Johnny Mantell have enjoyed tremendous success teaming in several territories as the Gunslingers. They've been top tag team contenders in the AWA. On a TV show, Jesse Barr and Joel Deaton showed up and attacked the Gunslingers. They called themselves the Unhinged Outlaws. Since this attack, these teams have had several brawls and traded wins and yes, bull ropes have been involved. The Outlaws said they were going to show the Gunslingers what real cowboys are made of. They challenged them to a Bunkhouse Match and the Gunslingers had no problem with this. The final showdown happens at WrestleRock. The Ultimate Warrior vs. Giant Haystacks Warrior has taken the AWA by storm and remains undefeated. One of those wins was against Haystacks former UK partner Dave Taylor. When Haystacks returned from a European tour, he made it very clear that he was coming after Warrior. The match was signed for WrestleRock. After a few weeks of verbal sparring, they finally had a confrontation. Haystacks got the better of Warrior by bruising his ribs with a sit down splash. Warrior says he'll be ready by WrestleRock but how can he take this monster down? Carribean Death Match Carlos Colon vs. 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer Sawyer returned to the AWA but got pinned by Colon. Afterwards Sawyer went berserk and pummeled Colon. At the Memorial Day Tournament, Sawyer clotheslined Colon with a chain, costing Colon his match with Chicky Starr. Colon and Sawyer have had some wild matches and bloody hard hitting encounters. Recently, Sawyer got the best of Colon, thanks to his chain. Colon says this can only be settled in a Carribean Death match. This means NO DQs, anything goes and falls count anywhere. Things are going to get violent and bloody at WrestleRock. 'The Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol vs. Luscious' Lanny Poffo At Champagne Slam, Lanny Poffo arrived and costed Idol the AWA Mid-American Title. Poffo said that Idol is a boy and doesn't belong in a man's sport. A match was signed and Idol was DQed for not releasing the Las Vegas Leglock outside the ring. Idol was satisfied in making Poffo suffer. Another match happened and this time Idol got a legit win. Afterwards, Poffo hit Idol with a foreign object and proceeded to put lipstick and glitter all over Idol's face. Idol challenged Poffo to a match at WrestleRock and it was signed. Idol had some fun by attacking Poffo and sticking a pacifier in his mouth. Poffo says he's going to run that sissy boy out of the AWA. We'll see. The WrestleRock Rumble Taped Fist Battle Royal. Pins, submissions and hurls over the top rope count as eliminations. Winner will receive an AWA World Title Shot and be presented the WrestleRock Rumble Trophy by Randall 'Tex' Cobb. Participants- Nick Busick, Kokina, DJ Peterson, Kevin Kelly, the Glamour Boys, the Harris Brothers, Tony Atlas, Duke Myers, Cannonball Griz, Scott Putski, Johnny Rich and Dream Machine. Mangers will be allowed to escort their clients to the ring but are banned during the match. AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow saw that there were a lot of heated feuds going on and decided that he would put them all in the ring and let them fight it out with high stakes involved. With taped fists, you can expect a lot of pounding and punching. Tex Cobb said that the winner will no doubt be the toughest man in the AWA. AWA TV Title Bout- No Time Limit Brian Adias (C) vs. Chicky Starr Very special ring announcer- Loni Anderson After 2 draws, Morrow signed a no time limit match for WrestleRock. Morrow also decided that the TV title match needed a big time TV celebrity to announce the participants. Well, he came through and booked Loni Anderson. A toast to you Gerry. Adias has been training hard and is 100% focused. Chicky has been relaxed while out on the golf course and soaking in spas. Chicky says he's going to take both the TV title and Loni Anderson home. AWA National Tag Team Title Bout Venomous (C) vs. Badd Co. w/ Baby Doll Venomous (Kat and Cobra) have enjoyed a 6 month reign while exciting fans with their high flying maneuvers and high octane offense. Badd Co. came to the AWA with their manager Diamond Dallas Page. They were off to a hot start and rising the ranks fast. Then things went downhill when DDP left for WCW. Badd Co. went on a losing streak. Then Baby Doll showed up and offered her guidance. Badd Co. regained their confidence. Baby Doll was so confident that she challenged Venomous to a non title match. If Badd Co. won, they would get a title shot at WrestleRock. If Venomous won, Baby Doll and Badd Co. would leave the AWA. The match happened and due to a bizarre distraction by the Killer Bees, Badd Co. was able to pull off the win and get a shot at WrestleRock. AWA Mid-American Title Bout 'The Living Legend' Larry Zbyszko (C) vs. Tatsumi 'The Dragon' Fujinami Zbyszko won the title at Champagne Slam and has been on the biggest arrogance high ever. He was taken down a notch when Fujinami pinned him during the Memorial Day Tournament. Afterwards, Zbyszko attacked Fujinami and knocked him unconscious with nun chucks. During a Fujinami TV match, Zbyszko was playing mind games while circling the ring. Fujinami played mind games of his own the following week during a Zbyszko TV match. While Zbyszko was arguing with the fans, Fujinami sneaked in and executed a bridging back suplex. The Ref had some fun too and counted 1..2..3. This one should be a WrestleRock classic. STEEL CAGE Handicap MATCH! The AWA World Tag Team Titles will be on the line! AWA World Tag Champs the Guerreros and El Canek vs. Crusher Blackwell, The Fortunate Ones and Greg Gagne This goes back to SuperClash when El Canek defeated Greg Gagne's star pupil Mike George for the now retired AWA International title. Crusher Blackwell shocked the world by joining up with Gagne. Blackwell jumped Canek in a locker room and injured him badly. Gary Young came to the AWA with veteran Jerry Stubbs. Gagne took a liking to them and signed them, calling them the Fortunate Ones. At Champagne Slam, the Fortunate Ones made Gagne proud by being the last survivors in an elimination match. Gagne demanded a tag title match. However, Hector and Chavo Guerrero beat them to it and defeated Kevin Kelly and DJ Peterson for the world titles at a Title Night. Gagne went to Gerry Morrow and Morrow saw his point and gave the Fortunate Ones a shot at the Guerreros. During that match all hell broke loose. Blackwell, Gagne and the Fortunate Ones severely injured Mando Guerrero and put him in the hospital. Since then, Gagne has interfered in several Canek and Guerrero matches. Morrow decided this needed to be settled in a cage but with a twist. The tag titles will be on the line and Greg Gagne will be in the match. Gagne passed out after hearing this news. Weeks went by and Gagne's Gang assured his safety. Gagne has been cockier than ever and has even dedicated their upcoming victory to Mando. What a jerk! Will Canek and the Guerreros do the world a favor and destroy Gagne or will Gagne somehow pull something off? We'll find out at WrestleRock. AWA World Title Bout Bad News Brown (C) vs. 'The Russian Nightmare' Nikita Koloff Brown has been a dominant champion since winning the world title a year ago. He's taken on and beaten all comers. Koloff gained massive AWA credibility when he won a very heated feud against Chris Adams. Koloff's momentum continued when he defeated 3 men in the Memorial Day Tournament to earn a title shot at WrestleRock. At the press conference, things got heated with Brown and Koloff fighting and ending up crashing through a table. The weeks went by with Brown and Koloff cutting intense promos on each other. Things continued to escalate as these two would get physical. More run ins and pull apart brawls ensued. Last week, Koloff was given a gift which turned out to be a boom box. We found out this was a set up by Brown because he came out from under the ring and nailed Koloff with a ghetto blaster from behind. As officials helped Koloff up, Brown hit Koloff in the gut with the boom box. Brown says WrestleRock is going to be bad news for Koloff. After the wrestling, REO SPEEDWAGON will perform a concert. I'm sure LST will stick around LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
