kevinmcfl Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Wow, I hate Greg Gagne! Great booking. I had a feeling that cowboy hat from True Grit was just Adias getting Black Bart in his back pocket. I wonder if Iceman is going after Adias or Bart or both. Love those parking lot brawls. Also think it was a good idea to escort them off the property. Makes it look like they are both out of control. Also, keeps them focused on each other and not the battle royal. Speaking of the Battle Royal... WOW... Nikita vs Sgt with Nikita as the babyface. Really cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 AWA SuperClash 3 report The road to Superclash 3 is officially underway and there will be a few pivotal stops along the way. The first will be in Milwaukee for Title Night on Nov. 17th. The results of all the title bouts will definitely play a factor at SuperClash. Also, the big match between Carlos Colon and Jumbo Tsuruta will determine the challenger for the world title bout at SuperClash. Another stop will be at the Met Center on Thanksgiving night, where 8 tag teams will compete in a tournament with the winners getting a world tag team title shot at SuperClash.

Autistic Dragon Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Some major stops between now and Superclash 3. Whoever wins between Colon and Jumbo will pose a serious threat to the World title. The McNicholas Arena hosted the biggest show Western States Wrestling ever held so seeing it come up brought back found memories. It's ironic but by bringing in all these celebrities for the supershows, the AWA is actually doing what made the WWF the most famous company in the world. Hell yeah baby! It's Vader Time in the AWA!

spaldoni Posted November 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-10-88 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA major league wrestling. Title Night is just one week away and we'll be talking a lot about that tonight. Tonight's main event will be the Rose Cousins taking on current rivals the Wild Ones. DJ Peterson takes on one half of the National tag champs Paul Diamond. In a bounty match, Mongolian Stomper goes after El Canek. All that and a lot more, let's go to the ring. 'The British Bomber' Dave Taylor vs. Carl Kellerman Taylor enters the ring wearing a glittered Union Jack themed sleeveless robe. It's been awhile since Taylor was last seen in the AWA but from his recent vignette he seems to have gone back to his roots and says things will be different this time around. Taylor dominates the match and wins it with a running forearm blast. Nelson informs us that next week Dave Taylor will take on Timothy Flowers. Commercial Break Kokina w/The Singhs vs. Neil Jordan Kokina decimates his opponent and finishes things off with the Samoan Drop. Nelson gets more nervous as a chain swinging Buzz Sawyer joins the other Asylum members at ringside. Gama: Stand back Nelson or suffer the consequences. Venomous, you are sadly mistaking if you think you can go toe to toe with myself and Tiger Jeet. You don't measure up to us and you will get hurt. As for you Crusher Blackwell, you now have to deal with Kokina. I will fully unleash the monster Kokina and you will have to suffer the wrath! Commercial Break Bounty Match- NO DQ El Canek vs. The Mongolian Stomper As Canek heads to the ring, Stomper runs up from behind and whacks him across his back with a steel chair. Canek goes to his knees as Stomper whacks the chair across his back for a second time. Stomper tosses the chair and just starts stomping Canek's back. Stomper picks up Canek and executes a back breaker. Stomper applies a Boston Crab and wrenches away. Stomper releases the hold. He looks down at Canek and gives him a few more stomps, then just walks away. Medics rush out to tend to Canek. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, I hope to give you an update on El Canek soon. I'm not sure, but the Mongolian Stomper may have just earned 250,000 dollars from Greg Gagne. Switching gears, you all saw the intense parking lot fight last week between Terry Gordy and Kerry Von Erich. Listen to this, next week here on TV, the main event will be Terry Gordy one on one with Kerry Von Erich. Don't miss that one. Ok, joining me now are the AWA National tag team champs Badd Co. along with Baby Doll. Bad Company plays as Baby Doll leads her champs out. Nelson: Ok, at Title Night, Badd Company will defend their titles against the Gunslingers. The Gunslingers have been on quite the roll and just may unseat your champs. Baby Doll: You're joking right Nelson? Those two dime store cowboys don't stand a chance against my team of the 90s. They're not even worth talking about anymore. Those city slickers can stay tuned to this program and watch Paul Diamond dismantle that big dummy DJ Peterson. Then they'll see what my champs are all about. Nelson: Ok, a very confident Baby Doll, let's go back to the ring. 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. Trent Watkins Brandi excites the fans and wins the match with a missile dropkick! Commercial Break Coast to Coast vs. Sam Smith and Harold Bannister Victory and Tatum are in total unison and win the match with a double flapjack. Coast to Coast cut a promo and say they're going to take the world titles from the Guerreros at Title Night. They close by saying they're dedicating their win to the Vin Man. Commercial Break 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff vs. Clyde Putnam The fans cheer as Orndorff hits the piledriver for the win! Nelson: Paul, last week you eliminated Larry Zbyszko from the battle royal and then his distraction helped Sgt. Slaughter eliminate you to win it. And then Zbyszko hits you with his Mid American title. Well, you now have your chance at Title Night. Orndorff: Zbyszko! I'm going to make this plain and simple. At Title Night, I'm going to piledrive your head through the mat and take that Mid American title from you! Commercial Break Nelson talks about the match at Title Night between Carlos Colon and Jumbo Tsuruta. The winner of that match will get the coveted AWA World Title shot at SuperClash 3. He sends us to pre recorded comments. Colon: 1988 has been a great year for Carlos Colon. My goal has always been to become World Champion. Jumbo Tsuruta is going to be a huge obstacle but I will get by him and get that world title shot. Jumbo is standing with Ray Stevens Stevens: I said I was going to release Jumbo Tsuruta's full potential and now it has paid off. Jumbo Tsuruta is a human wrecking machine and at Title Night he's going to run over Carlos Colon and after that he's going to take what's rightfully his, the AWA world title! Commercial Break 'Dynamite' DJ Peterson vs. AWA National Tag Champ Paul Diamond w/Baby Doll and Pat Tanaka DJ and Diamond give the fans a pretty fun back and forth contest. A few minutes in, DJ is in full control as he pinballs Diamond with a series of power moves. It was only a matter of time, but Baby Doll gets on the apron and distracts the Ref, which allows Tanaka to quickly run in the ring and give DJ a karate kick to the back of his head. Diamond takes control and works over DJ with some power moves of his own. Diamond executes a hanging vertical suplex but can't put DJ away. Diamond goes for an elbow drop from the middle ropes but DJ moves. The fans fire DJ up as DJ hammers away on Diamond. DJ scoop slams Diamond and swings off the ropes but Tanaka reaches in and trips DJ. The fans cheer as the Gunslingers run out and double clothesline Tanaka down. Baby Doll is yelling at the Gunslingers. The Gunslingers pick up Baby Doll and carry her up the aisle. Diamond sees this and heads to the outside, but DJ grabs him from behind and hits a belly to back suplex 1..2..3!!! Big POP! Commercial Break Nelson: With me now is the Dream Machine and Gary Young. Dream: Listen up Nelson, because I've got something to say babay! Next week, my man, the fortunate one Gary Young will finally get rid of Mr. Olympia once and for all! But that's not all. Dream Machine is expanding. I have acquired a new team here in the AWA. I'm talking about Mike Miller and Rip Oliver, the Mean Machine! Miller and Oliver come out wearing black vests, black knee pads and black boots. They shake hands with Dream and Young. Nelson: Wait a minute! You guys attacked the Bruisers last week and costed them a shot at the world titles. Now you're with this guy. What gives? Miller: What gives is we're here in the AWA to destroy anything that gets in our way! I was suspended from the AWA a few months ago just for beating people up. Mr. Morrow reinstated me and I made it known that the AWA needs to toughen up and he seemed to agree. Oliver: That's exactly right! I got soft spending too much time caring about these sissy fans. Those days are over. The Mean Machine is serving notice. Bruisers! You think you're the toughest team around? Think again! Dream: That sums it all up babay! Just look at Dream's Team. Gary Young and the Mean Machine! There aint no stopping us! Commercial Break The Fantastics vs. Vic Dutro and Wille Lopez Fantastics put on a tag team display before winning the match with the Rocket Launcher! Fantastics cut a heated promo on the Glamour Boys and Lanny Poffo. They say they're going to teach the Glamour Boys what tag team wrestling is all about and if Poffo interferes again, they're going to slap the makeup off his face! Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, after our main event we will hear comments from Sgt Slaughter and AWA world champ Nikita Koloff. As for next week's show, I'll be talking to Iceman Parsons. I understand we will see a special video sent in from Hollywood by TV champ Brian Adias. Gary Young takes on Mr. Olympia. Dave Taylor squares off against Timothy Flowers. And a blockbuster main event as Terry Gordy goes one on one with Kerry Von Erich. Ok, let's go to our main event. The Rose Cousins vs. The Wild Ones The bell rings and we get a pier six brawl right away. The Rose's hit stereo back drops on the Wild Ones. Wild Ones stagger up and the Rose's stereo clothesline them over the top rope. Rose's celebrate as the Wild Ones try and regroup. The Ref gets some order as Pat works over Davey. Pat hip tosses Davey across the ring. Johnny runs in and gets hip tossed across the ring. Johnny stands up as Randy (on the apron) nails him with a punch. Davey goes after Randy but Pat tackles him and pounds away. The Rose's continue to work over the Wild Ones. Randy goes for a suplex on Johnny but Davey runs in and clips Randy behind the knees. The Wild Ones take the next segment and go to work on Randy. Davey runs over and slaps Pat. Pat gets in the ring, but the Ref guides him back, which allows the Wild Ones to hit a double suplex on Randy. Davey tags in Johnny. Davey slams Randy as Johnny comes off the middle ropes with a knee drop 1..2..Kick Out. Johnny swings Randy to the ropes and goes for a back drop but Randy kicks him, dives over and tags in Pat. Pat is on fire as he cleans house. He knocks Davey out of the ring. He works over Johnny, then slams him down and follows with a fist drop 1..2..Davey runs in with a kick. Randy runs in and pounds away on Davey. Another pier six brawl happens. The Wild Ones take control and swing the Rose's towards each other, but the Rose's reverse things and swing the Wild Ones into each other. The Wild Ones collide and stagger backwards as the Rose's clothesline both of them down. Pat slams Davey as Randy hops on the turnbuckles and comes down with a slingshot splash on Davey 1..2..3! The fans get up and cheer! Commercial Break Sgt. Slaughter is standing in front of an AWA banner Slaughter: One week! Nikita Koloff, you have only one week left as the AWA world champion. I made my mission known from the beginning and that mission will be accomplished in one week. I will rid the AWA of that puke commie and I will be a world champion this country can be proud of! Nikita is standing in front of an AWA banner with the title on his shoulder Koloff: Sgt. Slaughter, you have no idea what you are dealing with. You have gotten under Nikita's skin and now I'm going to have to shut that big mouth of yours. I know the best way to do that, it's with the Russian Sickle!

LowBlowPodcast Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 The F'N Super F'N Clash bay bay! I love the value you've put into the Awa. This is a roster I could see lighting things up in 1988 and I think it would have kept AWA afloat. "And finally, AWA scouts were in Japan and informed Verne about an American heavyweight making waves over there. Verne took notice and has signed the man they call Big Van Vader to appear at SuperClash. " Given the AWA history and bringing guys in, this works so well. Vader will come in with a name and push and we'll see him against the AWA's best. I am big on the Fantastics here... if I had their fgures I would have kept them but I like their role here and potential with some other teams. Nikita vs Slaughter... the 2nd money match right now in the AWA... gonna be tits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Taylor's return is off to a good start. Kokina looks dominant and Gama sends a warning to Venomous. Stomper didn't want to wait for a official match, he wanted that money now. Brandi lifts the mood. Coast 2 Coast and Orndorff each look strong ahead of their respective title matches. Baby Doll's dismissal of those "dime store cowboys" comes back to bite her man Diamond. The Mean Machine has arrived and put the tag scene on notice babay. Though I'm curious how Oliver joining this growing faction effects his partnership with Jumbo. The Fantastics are fired up and ready to take on the Glamour Boys and Poffo. The Rose's score a big win over their rivals. But I'm sure the Wild One's aren't finished yet. Sarge & Nikita with one final exchange before they collide next week.

Control21 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Kokina and Dave Taylor both looked impressive in the opening bouts. Mongolian Stomper was probably too afraid to wrestle Canek 1v1, but with the money, it doesn't matter I suppose. Orndorff vs Zbyszko should be a great match, looking forward to that one. Great job as always giving us a very entertaining and detailed show. Lots of good stuff happening in AWA this month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastStopTour Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 The Sarge is coming to make things right! All will be good once he sends the Russian packing for good! Orndorff and Larry Z looks like a toss up match on paper but when it comes down to it, Larry's Glorious Years in the business are the difference that puts him over Orndorff.

To prove that, you have to go through me. Go ahead and bring it on big boy! Commercial Break We come back and see Greg Gagne sitting on a lounge chair and sipping a drink. Gagne: Today is a day of celebration. I decided to take the day off from my physical therapy because well, I've earned it. My heart is filled with joy because that masked moron El Canek is no more.

Commercial Break The Olympians vs. Bobby Baines and Ray Glader Rheingans hits a gut wrench suplex and Patera follows with the Full Nelson to get the win. Nelson: Fans, next weekend, 8 teams will compete for a shot at the World Tag Titles at SuperClash 3. However, I understand that the Olympians will be flying to Japan tomorrow and will miss the tournament. Patera: That's right and it's a shame because we would've looked forward to some friendly and competitive competition in the tournament. But hey, the AWA knew there was only one team that could represent them well and that's us. Rheingans: That's right. The Olympians are all about playing by the rules and winning the old fashion way, with our skills and talent. Cream always rises to the top and we'll get our title shot when we return.

Autistic Dragon Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 The Saints prove a fine addition to an already stacked tag scene. Speaking of which, There's so much bad blood in the first round of the tag titles contender tournament it may flood the Met Center. The Iceman cometh for Black Bart. Flowers did not lie, he's next shot most certainly connected. Venomous gets a chance to flex. Blackwell calls out Kokina. The battle of the monsters is upon us! I'm sure nothing will go wrong at the bounty presentation ceremony next week. Adias promotes himself from A-lister to Blockbuster. The Olympians sheer disconnect from their actions continues to amuse. Gordy & Von Erich can't keep their hands off each other. An absolutely loaded Title Night is coming to The Mecca.

Autistic Dragon Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Huge moment for The Gunslingers as they capture the National Tag Team Titles. A rough night for Colon as he not only falls to Jumbo but gets jumped by Sawyer. Larry Z takes the coward's way out to the surprise of.... exactly nobody. Los Guerreros outlast a game Coast 2 Coast. Nikita barely holds on against a relentless Slaughter. Even with Jumbo earning a title shot you can just tell this isn't over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control21 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Gungslingers get a huge moment to open the show. What a win for them! Colon vs Tsuruta delivered as expected but Buzz Sawyer exploits a moment from weakness from Colon. That should be another good match. Zbyszko feared Orndorff and resorted to cheap tactics to keep a hold on the belt...BOOO indeed... The Guerreros put on another outstanding performance and give the fans their money's worth. Koloff retains the belt with a countout after playing things smart on the outside. Slaughter doesn't seem to be willing to give up his chase quite yet, but another excellent match to close the show. This event certainly delivered as expected! Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted November 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 AWA SuperClash Report The pieces are coming together after what went down at Title Night. It's now official that the SuperClash main event will be Nikita Koloff defending the AWA world Title against Jumbo Tsuruta. There will be a press conference in 2 weeks for the signing. Another important event will be the 8 Tag Team Tournament next weekend at the Met Center. The winners of the tournament will face the Guerreros at SuperClash for the AWA World Tag Team titles. AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow has decided that Kerry Von Erich will face Terry Gordy inside a steel cage at SuperClash. After several altercations in parking lots and dressing rooms, Morrow figures locking them inside a cage is the only way for them to settle this. Another match officially signed will be Crusher Blackwell taking on Kokina. Rumors are circulating that the AWA is looking for another celebrity ring announcer for the TV Title Bout. TV Champ Brian Adias says he can certainly help with this. With music sensation Donna Sommer and former Boxing heavyweight contender Ron Lyle already attached, Superclash 3 will definitely be getting a lot of attention from the media. The AWA recently announced that Big Van Vader had been signed for a match at SuperClash. It's now official that his opponent will be Tatsumi Fujinami. Stay tuned for more information.

Autistic Dragon Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 A cage is probably the only thing that can hold Gordy and Von Erich at this point. I hope they reinforce the ring at Superclash because Blackwell vs Kokina is on! Vader gets a serious welcoming challenge in The Dragon.

kevinmcfl Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Sorry for falling a bit behind here... First for Nov. 10 I really liked Stomper's attack on Canek begore the match. Stomper used to scare the crap out of me as a little kid. An attack by him would have left anyone down and out. I doubt this was the end of the bounty and I am looking forward to a rematch. Orndorff vs Larry Z... love how you set this up with the Battle Royal. To me, this is a perfect AWA feud and I have no idea who is coming out on top. Heel Sgt vs fan favorite Nikita... I could see this going either way. Nov. 17 First, I was so excited for Terry vs Kerry on tv but then I was afraid that this might be the end for one of them... great locker room brawl and now I am excited as I know there is more. I hope this goes on for months. Taylor vs Diamond is a great tv bout... like the double count-out. I almost forgot about what Black Bart did to Iceman... really looking forward. Title Night I always think that an event like this before Super Clash needs at least one title change but it is hard as you have your angles already going for the super big event. Nice job having The Gunslingers get the belts. I was really wondering which way you would go with Colon and Jumbo. You really couldn't go wrong either way and now we get a huge bout. Larry Z vs Orndorf was one other match I thought could have had a title change but really liked how you did this. With Jumbo getting the win, I had a feeling Nikita would survive this bout with Sarge but WOW, what a match. Really can't wait till Super Clash.

Jumbo Tsuruta becoming the number one contender. Buzz Sawyer brutally attacking Carlos Colon with a chain. Nikita Koloff barley escaping the cobra clutch to get a c.o. victory over Sgt. Slaughter. Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Title Night is in the books as the road to SuperClash 3 continues. Now, before we get to Superclash in Denver on Saturday December 30th, we've got other crucial stops to make. This weekend at the Met Center will be the big 8 Tag Team tournament. The winners will receive an AWA world tag team title shot against the Guerreros at SuperClash. The first round matches have been announced and boy will you see some heated rivalries going at it. As for tonight, you will see Dave Taylor, Timothy Flowers, DJ Peterson and Lanny Poffo battle in a 4 man gauntlet match with the winner getting a TV title shot at SuperClash. Plenty of big matches tonight, so let's get to the ring. Tatsumi 'The Dragon' Fujinami vs. Joseph Roberts Fujinami is back from a tour of Japan and looks better than ever as he puts on a wrestling clinic before finishing things off with the dragon suplex. Nelson says Tatsumi has a big task ahead as he faces Big Van Vader at SuperClash. Nelson then takes us to a Big Van Vader highlight reel from Japan. Big Van Vader takes on Tatsumi Fujinami at SuperClash 3. Commercial Break 'Thrilling' Tom Brandi vs. Jack Victory w/John Tatum Coast to Coast is coming off a sensational showing against the Guerreros and Victory wants to get them back on the winning track tonight. On the flip side, Brandi has been a real blue chipper and has yet to be pinned in the AWA. Brandi lives up to his thrilling moniker as he spends the opening minutes taking Victory down with dropkicks, arm drags and hip tosses. The tide turns when Tatum (from the outside) trips Brandi, Brandi stumbles forward as Victory hits a snap suplex. Tatum cheers as Victory works Brandi over with slams, elbow drops, knee drops and a variety of rule breaking. Victory goes for a back drop but Brandi kicks him. The fans are up and cheering as Brandi makes a furious comeback. Once again, Tatum kills the momentum with a distraction. Victory works over Brandi with punches and stomps. Brandi starts to fight back. Tatum hops on the apron. Victory rakes Brandi's eyes and swings him towards Tatum. Brandi reverses things and swings Victory into Tatum. Tatum flies off the apron as Brandi rolls Victory up 1..2..3! BIG POP! Commercial Break Nelson: Wow, tremendous win for Tom Brandi. The fans have really gotten behind this exciting young man. Ok, joining me now are the new AWA National Tag Team champions, the Gunslingers. The fans cheer as The Gunslingers come out in jeans, cowboy boots, western style shirts and white cowboy hats. The National titles are on their shoulders. Nelson: Congratulations on winning the National Titles. You guys have been here in the AWA for awhile and really deserve those titles. As you know on Saturday December 22nd there will be the traditional tag team battle royal and the winners will now face you two for the National titles at SuperClash. Casey: Larry, we're on top of the world right now and feeling great. Johnny and I promise to be fighting champions and are..... Boos as Baby Doll leads Badd Company out. Baby Doll: You boys should know this term. Hold your horses. At Title Night you pulled off the biggest fluke in history. You come out here and say you'll be fighting champions, well prove it. We want a rematch and we want it right here next week. I'm not asking. Mantell: Like my partner said, we're fighting champions. So bring it on! Badd Company step towards them. The Gunslingers are ready to fight. Baby Doll calmly escorts her team to the back. Nelson: Well, ok, looks like we have a National tag team title match set for next week. My goodness. Commercial Break 'The Fabulous One' Steve Keirn vs. Harold Bannister Keirn looks impressive tonight and finishes things off with a reverse DDT. As Keirn celebrates with the fans, Dream Machine and Gary Young hit the ring and attack Keirn. Just as they start to put the boots to Keirn, Mr. Olympia hits the ring with fists flying. Olympia gets in some shots but the numbers catch up. Just as Dream and Young get the upper hand, Keirn recovers and it's a pier six brawl! Commercial Break AWA Mid-American Champ Larry Zbyszko vs. Ray Glader Zbyszko dismantles his opponent before putting him down with a swinging neckbreaker. Nelson: Larry Zbyszko, I have to say your actions at Title Night were despicable. Zbyszko: Who asked you spudhead. Look, Paul Orndorff was simply out of his league and he got hurt. Nelson: (rolls his eyes) Well, stay here because I understand the AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow has an announcement for you. Brenda Britton heads out with Gerry Morrow. Britton snatches the mic from Nelson. Britton: Hit the road Nelson. Ok Gerry, the floor is yours. Morrow: AHHHHH thank you Brenda. (looks at Zbyszko) and thank you Mr. Zbyszko for your time. As you and everybody knows, SuperClash 3 will take place on Saturday December 30th in Denver. Now Mr. Zbyszko, you have been quite clever in retaining your Mid American title. And as a clever man you should have no problem with dis announcement. At SuperClash, you will defend your title against Paul Orndorff and if you get disqualified or counted out, you will indeed lose your title. Zbyszko throws a fit. Zbyszko: Gerry, I thought we were friends. Why are you doing this to me? Morrow: Ahhhhh we are indeed friends. I am doing dis because like I said you are a very clever man and I'm sure you will find a way to win. I need to be fair and Mr. Orndorff does deserve another chance. I will tell you what, if you do win, you are invited to my private post SuperClash party and I will have a special toast just for you. Zbyszko (calming down) You're right Gerry. I'm the greatest AWA champion of all time and that's why I'm a living legend. I will prove that to you and I will enjoy the champagne celebration. Morrow: Ahhhhh dat is what I like to hear. Commercial Break Sgt. Slaughter vs. Arnie Goldstein Slaughter is pissed tonight and easily disposes of his opponent with the cobra clutch. Nelson: Sgt. Slaughter at Title Night.. Slaughter: Shut up Puke! I would like to ask the AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow to come back out here so I can have a word with him. Once again, Britton comes out with Morrow. Britton: You know the deal Nelson. Nelson shakes his head and hands over the mic. Britton: Busy night for you Gerry. Morrow: Hahahaha it is indeed. Ok Mr. Slaughter, go right ahead. Slaughter. I'll get right to the point. Everybody saw what I did to that maggot Nikita Koloff at Title Night. I think it's only fair that I get a rematch at the biggest event SuperClash! Morrow: I do like your fighting spirit Mr. Slaughter, I really do. However, de main event for SuperClash is already set. As a matter of fact, there will be a special press conference next week between de AWA World Champion Nikita Koloff and de number one contender Jumbo Tsuruta. However, I will do dis for you Mr. Slaughter. Tis the season for SuperClash, so I'm going to allow you to pick your opponent for SuperClash. It's a high profile event and if you win, that could propel you to another world title shot. What do you say? Slaughter: (contemplates this) I accept. Slaughter shakes Morrow's hand. Commercial Break 'Mad Dog' Buzz Sawyer and Kokina vs. Todd Rooney and George Wilbert Members of the Asylum simply destroy their opponents. Sawyer hits a powerslam on Wilbert as Kokina follows with a Samoan Drop for the easy win. Nelson is nervous as Sawyer swings his chain around and Kokina screams into the camera. Nelson: (still nervous) Buzz Sawyer, after what we saw at Title Night, it appears your issues with Carlos Colon haven't been resolved. Sawyer: (maniacal laugh) I told you Colon that this isn't over until I say it's over. At WrestleRock we had a great time fighting in a Carribean Death Match. At WarGames we had a blast beating each other senseless. Well now it's my turn to have a party. Colon! This all ends at SuperClash, because you and I are going to have the best time yet, in a chain match! I know you're at home licking your wounds and I know you're scared to death to face me again. But I want this match and you're going to give it to me or I'll come to Puerto Rico and drag you here myself, with this chain! Nelson runs away as Sawyer swings his chain while Kokina grabs a Crusher Blackwell poster from a fan and rips it up. Commercial Break Nelson: Well, in my hand is an envelope sent to us by Greg Gagne. This is the bounty money owed to the Mongolian Stomper. I want to get this over with, so if the Mongolian Stomper could come and collect this. Please do so. Boos as the Mongolian Stomper storms down the aisle. WHAM! He's nailed from behind by EL CANEK! Canek is wearing a brace around his mid section but that doesn't slow him down as he pounds down on Stomper. Security and officials rush out to stop this. Nelson: Oh my! It appears El Canek is still around and this money will go back to Greg Gagne. (Smiling) I really hope you're watching Greg. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, before we get to our main event. Don't forget, tomorrow night at the Met Center, 8 tag teams will compete in a tournament for a shot at the AWA World tag team titles at SuperClash. It's been announced that Kerry Von Erich will face Terry Gordy inside a steel cage at SuperClash. Next week we'll hear from both men. Iceman Parsons goes one on one with Black Bart. AWA National tag team title bout as the Gunsligers defend against former champs Badd Company. I've just been told that El Canek will face Mongolian Stomper in a bounty match. And also, next week you will see the contract signing between Nikita Koloff and Jumbo Tsuruta. Our main event when we return. But first we have a recorded message from the TV champ Brian Adias. Adias is standing in front of a movie studio. He's reading a script. Adias: (looks up) Oh hey, just going over one of many scripts sent to me for approval. Now, I understand that today four supporting role players will go at it in a gauntlet match to face me for MY TV title at SuperClash. Me, the headliner, A-Lister and Blockbuster Brian Adias. I don't have time to comment because I have important business to take care of. Adias shows his script and goes back to reading it.

Taylor turns around and kicks Flowers, then grabs the chair. Flowers quickly drops to the ground as the Ref stands up and sees Taylor with the chair. Flowers is holding his head and telling the Ref Taylor hit him with the chair. The Ref signals for the bell and disqualifies Taylor. Flowers is giggling. Taylor is pissed. Flowers gets up laughing and tells Taylor to leave. Taylor looks around, then whacks Flowers over his head with the chair. Flowers goes down as Taylor tosses the chair and exits. Here comes DJ Peterson. The fans cheer as DJ runs in the ring and covers Flowers 1..2..3! Officials run out to get Flowers out of the ring. Here comes Lanny Poffo skipping to the ring.

Autistic Dragon Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Fujinami looks as good as ever but how will he perform come Vader time? Coast 2 Coast attempt at a rebound comes up short. Baby Doll wastes no time cashing in Badd Company's rematch. Keirn gets a nice showcase. Larry Z will needs all his wits to escape with the title when he faces Orndorff with no champions advantage. Slaughter gets a nice gift from Gerry by getting to pick his opponent. Sawyer calls out Colon one more time for a chain match. Canek is back so no money for Stomper (yet). Adias had better get focused on SuperClash because Peterson is coming for that title.

spaldoni Posted November 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 AWA @ The Met Center, Bloomington MN 11-25-88 Tag Team Tournament-Winners get an AWA World Tag Team Title shot at SuperClash 3 First Round The Fantastics vs. The Glamour Boys Lanny Poffo is booked elsewhere tonight. The night starts with a bang as the Fantastics and Glamour Boys put on a tag team masterpiece. Both teams take turns showing off incredible teamwork. The match is fast paced and exciting. It's a see saw roller coaster ride that keeps the fans on the edge of their seats. The announcer informs the fans, there's only one minute left. As the clock ticks, both teams end up in a pier six brawl. With 10 seconds left, Doll swings Rogers into the turnbuckles, but Rogers hops on the turnbuckles and comes back with a reverse press on Doll 1..2..3! Fantastics win with just one second left! Winners of the match- The Fantastics Venomous vs. Gama and Tiger Jeet Singh Former National champs Venomous want another chance at some gold. However, recently the Singhs have targeted them and vow Venomous will not advance. Venomous use their speed and quickness while the Singhs break every rule in the book. Venomous impress the crowd with their high octane offense. The Singhs get the heat with their brutal and vicious style. Venomous have things going their way as Kat goes to the top rope, but Gama (from the apron) runs over and pushes Kat off. Cobra runs in but the Ref guides him back. This allows the Singhs to hit a double rib breaker on Kat. Tiger covers as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! Winners of the match- The Singhs The Bruisers vs. The Mean Machine Dream Machine is booked elsewhere tonight. Mike Miller and Rip Oliver recently joined forces and aligned with Dream Machine. For some reason they had a problem with the Bruisers and attacked them. Bruisers said they're going to get payback tonight. This one is hard hitting and stiff from the start. Both teams beat the hell out of each other while the Ref has a difficult job keeping order. As the match goes on, things get more out of control. Finally, the Ref has no choice but to disqualify both teams. The bell keeps ringing but the fists keep flying. Official Ruling- A double disqualification The Rose Cousins vs. The Wild Ones Yet another grudge match in the opening round. These teams have been battling all over the loop and recently the Rose's scored a televised win over the Rich's. The Rich's weren't going to forget. The fans get a good old fashion southern fight. These teams are so evenly matched as the match goes back and forth. Both teams fight but also show off some impressive tag team skills. Things get hard hitting as both Randy Rose and Davey Rich get color. While Pat is working over Johnny, Davey runs in but gets dropkicked back to his corner by Randy. Davey pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. As Pat hoists Johnny up for a suplex, Davey runs over and nails Pat on the back of his head. Johnny falls on top as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! Due to the earlier double DQ, the Wild Ones advance to the finals. Winners of the Match- The Wild Ones Semi-Finals The Fantastics vs. Gama and Tiger Jeet Singh Another contrast of styles match up. The Fantastics put their experience, speed and quickness to good use as they control the opening minutes. The Singhs turn things around, when Tiger (from the apron) nails Fulton with a knee to the back. The Singhs take turns battering and pummeling Fulton. Fulton stays alive and manages to finally tag in Rogers. Rogers cleans house for awhile but the Singhs come back with a vengeance and work Rogers over pretty bad. Rogers somehow survives and finally tags in Fulton. Fulton's on fire as he takes it to Gama. On the outside, Tiger gets his sword and gets on the apron. Gama rakes Fulton's eyes and swings him towards Tiger. Tiger has his sword up but Fulton reverses things and swings Gama into Tiger's sword. Tiger falls off the apron as Fulton rolls up Gama 1..2..3! The Fantastics are in the finals. Winners of the match- The Fantasics Intermission During the intermission, the AWA World Tag Team Champs, Hector and Chavo Guererro are announced and will be sitting at the announcer's table for the finals. The Finals The Fantastics vs. The Wild Ones Both teams have been through a lot. Davey Rich's forehead is bandaged up and both Fantastics took quite a beating from the Singhs. The Fantastics start the match with some pep as they have the Wild Ones bouncing all over the ring. After a few minutes, fatigue sets in and the Wild Ones take advantage. Johnny and Davey take turns working over the Fantastics with quick tags and stiff double teaming. They hoist Rogers up and deliver a double suplex but Rogers kicks out. Moments later, the Rich's go for a double clothesline but Rogers ducks, swings back, dropkicks both Rich's, dives over and tags in Fulton. Fulton knocks the Rich's heads together and keeps up the momentum. The Rich's come back and this time work over Fulton. They break a lot of rules, then swing Fulton to the ropes and hit a double hot shot 1..2..NO! Rogers breaks it! The Rich's double team Rogers, but the Ref guides Johnny back. While that is happening Rogers hot shots Davey on the top rope. Johnny runs back in but Fulton back drops him. The Fantastics swing Davey to the ropes and hit a double dropkick 1..2..3!!!! The Winners of the match and tournament- The Fantastics! The Fantastics celebrate. The Guerreros enter the ring. Both teams stare at each other. The Guerreros nod their heads and offer their hands. The Fantastics smile and the teams shake hands. The SuperClash world tag team title match is set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 The Fantastics, the Singhs and the Wild Ones each score a win over the their rivals to advance. Meanwhile the Bruisers and the Mean Machine get carried away and both get thrown out. The Fantastics have to get through two tough teams back to back to get their well deserved title shot.

LastStopTour Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Fantastics with a pair of tough matches but hardest one is yet to come. Guerreros are not going to be easy by any stretch. Beat them and you have to be in consideration for one of the top teams in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
