Autistic Dragon Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 Huber finally strikes Doll down. Burke gave it a good try but St Clair is Simply the Best. I smiled so big seeing the Renegade Warriors show up. The good feelings don't last however as the Rose cousins finally snap. Without Akbar's direction, Kokina falls to the Mighty Yankee. Can't wait to hear Larry bitch about losing to "Bruno's boy". Loved seeing Big Jim and Kaz turn Vin Man into a pinball. Yeah! Taylor may have gotten more of a fight then he expected but he's still cock of the walk. Nikita survives an all out war and stands ready for whatever Kirchner sends next. Roberts meanwhile may have just executed the fastest face turn in AWA history. Shame he had to interrupt Greg's big announcement though /s. Great finish to the tag title match as we have Fabulous new champions. Jumbo's reign was stellar but I think we all knew Hulkamania would be running wild brother.

kevinmcfl Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Wow... the amount of work you put into WrestleRock is just awesome!! I really enjoyed the details to your matches. I really struggle with this but you knocked it out of the park. I especially loved the one with Colon vs Sawyer. It had so many great visuals like the baseball bat and the trash can! I also commend you for having such a diverse card. It truly had something for everyone.... The ECW-like match with Colon-Sawyer as I already mentioned. The old time Western brawl with Hansen and Blackjack... Loved this one!!! It is really in my wheelhouse. All the stars who would draw in the more casual fan like Foreigner, ZZ Top, Phylicia Rashad and Tex Cob! Cobb with the big blow to Larry Z was awesome! Grudge Matches like the Loser-Leave Town Match for the tag titles was great! New appearances like the Renegade Warriors Return of big names like the RnR Express! Babyface turns.... Loved seeing Jake nail Greg Gagne! and lets not forget the big one... Hogan over Jumbo!!! Wow... the AWA is White Hot!!! Great event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 AWA WrestleRock Fallout This week's TV is a WrestleRock recap show. The newly crowned AWA champions give promos. The new AWA world tag team champs, the Fantastics talk about their long road to the titles and how all their perseverance paid off. They're ready to defend the titles against all comers. Paul Orndorff unified the Mid American and Southern titles and is now the AWA International champion. He says he's held gold all year and that's going to continue. Newly crowned AWA world champion, Hulk Hogan gave a pumped up promo, saying he's now on top of Mount AWA but to remain on top he will have to defend the title against the multitude of challengers climbing that same mountain. Hogan went on to say with the power of all the Hulkamaniacs, he's going to take the AWA to heights never before imagined. Other news Ray Stevens has filed a protest claiming Jumbo Tsuruta should still be the AWA world champion. Stevens claimed the Referee counted 3 after Jumbo power bombed Hogan. The AWA is reviewing the footage and Steven's claim. Jumbo has returned to Japan and has not announced when he'll be returning to the States. AWA TV Champ, Brian Adias says since he's currently in a record title reign, he should be the number one contender to the world title. He promised Hogan's reign will set a record as the shortest AWA title reign in history. AWA National tag champs, the Olympians said they overcame all Sweet Dreams blatant rule breaking and cheating to retain their titles. They also said honor, integrity and pure skill will always prevail. After an amazing 14 month reign, former AWA world tag champs, the Guerreros had to honor the stipulation and have left the AWA. Jake the Snake Roberts has decided to venture elsewhere, stating something about unfinished business up north. Also leaving the AWA is former Southern champ Larry Cameron and Kokina. Skandor Akbar has promised to rebuild Devastation Inc. He has Blackblood as well as the Moondogs. He then made a big announcement that he has sold the contracts of the British Bombers to Les Thornton. Akbar has also promised another huge acquisition coming soon. After everything he went through, Nikita Koloff has been given permission to take a long vacation. Nikita says he'll be back stronger than ever. Larry Zbyszko went on a tirade and says he was cheated beyond belief. He wants another crack at David Sammartino. Don Muraco is ecstatic about being in the AWA with Superstar Graham by his side. The AWA returns to its regularly scheduled programing next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 WrestleRock was an Incredible event. Hogan winning sets a stage that AWA could have only wished to ascend to IRL. Nikita is a guy I have got my eyes on right now... I feel like he's got a red rocket strapped to his back... but don't count out our good friend Mr. Hansen... there is a lot to be determined here... tune in folks!

spaldoni Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 8-2-89 Larry Nelson: Hello everyone and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. We've got a lot of action tonight, including Larry Zbyszko versus Leo Burke. Lou Perez takes on Glamour Doll. Also, Iceman Parsons goes up against Terry Taylor. Right now, I would like to bring out the AWA C.O.O. Gerry Morrow. Brenda Britton comes out with Morrow. Britton: Take a break Nelson. Nelson rolls his eyes and walks away. Britton: Ok Gerry, I understand you want to address the world title issue from WrestleRock. Morrow: Ahhhhh yes I do Brenda. I would like to invite Ray Stevens out here. Stevens is all business as he walks out. Morrow: Ray, I have reviewed your protest and de film from WrestleRock. Stevens: Then you saw what I saw. Jumbo Tsuruta put Hulk Hogan down with a powerbomb and the Ref counted 3. It's simple, Jumbo should get his world title back. Morrow: I have to admit Ray, it was close. However, after lengthy reviews, myself and de committee have determined dat Hogan did raise his shoulder before de 3 count. De decision will stand. Hulk Hogan is de AWA world champion. Stevens: Come on Gerry! Morrow: Do not worry Ray. When Jumbo decides to return from Japan, he will get a rematch for de world title. Stevens: I don't like it, but I will say this. Hogan's days as champion are numbered. Mark my words! Britton: There you have it! Hulk Hogan is officially the AWA world champion, but for how long remains to be seen. Until we meet again. Toooodles. Commercial Break The Brawny Boys (Jim Morris and Bill Kazmaier) vs. Todd Rooney and Cleet Walker After their success at WrestleRock, Morris and Kazmaier have decided to make a go as a tag team. Morris puts Walker down with a backbreaker, then tags in Kazmaier. Kazmaier swings Walker to the ropes and finishes things off with a bearhug! Commercial Break 'Lightning' Lou Perez vs. Glamour Doll We get a fun fast paced match here. Perez puts his amateur wrestling skills to work and has Doll frustrated. Doll turns the tide with an eye rake. Doll shows off his high flying skills and almost pins Perez after a missile dropkick. Doll spends too much time arguing with the Ref. This allows Perez to sneak up from behind and execute a bridging back suplex for the win! Perez celebrates as Doll throws a temper tantrum. Commercial Break Nelson: Ok coming out now is Skandor Akbar (wearing a neckbrace) along with his Devastation Inc. Akbar, Blackblood and the Moondogs surround a nervous Nelson. Nelson: Well Skandor, WrestleRock was quite an event for you. Things ended abruptly after that piledriver from the AWA International champ Paul Orndorff. Akbar: Watch it Nelson! That's your final warning! It's no secret that Devastation Inc. lost some members following WrestleRock. However, I'm coming back bigger and stronger than ever! First up, Orndorff, you're going to pay for what you did. This man Blackblood is coming after you and your title! Everybody saw what the Moondogs did at WrestleRock to those sissy boys, the Rock n Roll Express. That's only the beginning. It doesn't stop there. Right now, I would like to introduce the newest member of Devastation Inc. Get ready AWA because the SOULTAKER is here! Soultaker is an intimidating sight as he walks out and joins his new stable. Akbar: You're looking at Devastation Inc. and devastation is what we're going to cause! Commercial Break 'The Mighty Yankee' Steve Disalvo vs. Ray Glader Disalvo looks impressive as he finishes things off with a running shoulder breaker for the easy win. Disalvo cuts a promo and says he's ready to take on the biggest and baddest monsters in the AWA. Commercial Break The Rose Cousins vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez The Rose Cousins are in full heel mode tonight and win the match with the Rose Bomb. Nelson: I'm not sure what happened at WrestleRock but you guys really went off the deep end when you attack the Renegade Warriors after their victory. Pat: Hey! We spent to long playing by the rules and it got us nowhere! If the Renegade Warriors have a problem, then they can try and do something about it! Randy: That's right! From now on, we're going to do things the right way, the Rose way!! Commercial Break Nelson: Ok, we're... Boos as Larry Zbyszko strolls out. Nelson: Larry, you have a match with Leo Burke, what are you doing here? Zbyszko: (points up at Burke in the ring) I'll deal with you in a minute spudhead. Ray Stevens was out here because his man was robbed. Well, he wasn't the only one robbed at WrestleRock. That brat little Davey only beat me because he was in cahoots with that moron Randall Cobb. Listen up Bruno's baby boy. You're nothing but a spinless coward who took the easy way out. You're gutless and weak! I'm going to do everything in my power to make your pathetic life miserable! You're done Davey! 'The Living Legend' Larry Zbyszko vs. Leo Burke Larry's a little too preoccupied as Burke works him over and has him pinballing all over the ring. Zbyszko rolls out to take a breather and of course stall. He gets on the apron. Burke runs over but Zbyszko rakes his eyes and snaps his head on the top rope. Zbyszko stomps away on Burke, lifts him up and throat drops him on the top rope. Zbyszko drops several knees on Burke. Wait a minute. David Sammartino comes out and stands at ringside with his arms folded. Zbyszko sees him and starts yelling at him. Sammartino smiles and shrugs his shoulders. Zbyszko is at the ropes still yelling at David. Burke gets up, pushes Zbyszko against the ropes and rolls him up 1..2..3! Big POP! Burke goes to the outside. Sammartino raises his arm as Zbyszko loses it in the ring. The fans are loving this. Commercial Break Nelson: With me now is the Vin man and his crew, Vinergy and Gary Young. (smirks) Rough night for you at WrestleRock, Vinnie. Vin: Shut up Larbo! Do you know what the problem was at WrestleRock? Nelson: Ummm, you bit off more than you could chew? Vin: I said shut up! I know what the problem was. Vinergy knows what the problem was. Dukes and Putski nod. Vin: Gary, do you know what the problem was? Young: No, what boss? Vin: The problem was YOU! Damn it Gary! You blew it and we lost the match because of you! You embarrassed me and nobody embarrasses the Vin Man...YEA! WHAM! Vinergy attack Young! They beat him down, then hurl him into the ring. They continue the beat down. They swing Young to the ropes and put him down with stereo polish hammers! They hold Gary up as Vinnie walks over, berates him and slaps him several times. Vinergy throw Young down. Vinnie gives him a few more stomps before leaving. Vinnie grabs the mic. Vinnie: Gary! You're out...YEA! Commercial Break 'The Rock' Don Muraco w/Superstar Billy Graham vs. Royce Richards Graham cheers as Muraco wins the match with a tombstone piledriver! Nelson: Superstar, you sure delivered at WrestleRock when this man, Don Muraco showed up. Graham: That's right daddy! The Superstar is back and I brought a friend with me. The sky's the limit for Don Muraco. Tell them brutha! Muraco: You got that right Superstar! The Rock Don Muraco is here in the AWA and brother I'm ready to make a splash! Commercial Break Nelson: Well we've seen a lot of familiar faces returning to the AWA and here's a couple more. Ricky and Robert, the Rock n Roll Express! The fans go wild as RnR head to ringside, slapping hands and hugging fans. Nelson: Welcome back to the AWA! Your appearance at WrestleRock was unfortunately ruined by the Moondogs. Gibson: Great to be back in the AWA Larry! It seems we already have a target on our backs. But hey, it's nothing we're not used too. Right Ricky. Morton: That's exactly right! Moondogs! You lit a fire under us and that's a good thing. We came back to the AWA for tag team competition and looks like your first up Moondogs! Rock n roll is here to stay! Commercial Break Nelson: Before we get to our main event, I want to announce that in 2 weeks, the AWA world champion Hulk Hogan will be here! I've also been informed that next week Brian Adias will defend the AWA TV title against Lou Perez. Also, the AWA International champ Paul Orndorff will be in action as well as the new AWA world tag champs, the Fantastics. Ok, let's get to the ring. Iceman Parsons vs. 'The Red Rooster' Terry Taylor The bell rings and Taylor does a little strut. They're about to lock up, but Taylor does another strut and slicks back his ponytail, then flings his hands at Parsons. They finally lock up and Parsons hip tosses Taylor over. Taylor gets up and charges but Parsons back drops him. Taylor sits up as Parsons gets down with a dance. Taylor's pissed and charges but Parsons ducks his punch and unloads on Taylor, swings him to the ropes and puts him down with a back elbow smash and follows with a jumping elbow drop 1..2..Kick Out.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 Well Stevens didn't get his way but at least his man's got a rematch coming. Brawny Boys! Love it. "Lightning" Lou is on a roll. Soultaker is a great fit for Akbar. Disalvo gets a chance to flex. The Rose Cousins show off their new attitude. Larry's fixation on David costs him. Damn, Vin Man shows Young the door. Good to see Muraco and Graham stick together. RnR aren't backing down. Taylor with the dirty win in the main event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 The Rock baby! Love Don Muraco after seeing some of his recent promos... dude could turn it on when he needed to. Rock N Roll are here to stay... and they could definitely make a big splash which could up the AWA's tag team scene. Terry Taylor... you've floated around but finally found a home here... could he build back up to some semblance of star power. Could a Hogan v Terry Taylor feud draw?

At the next Title Night in Winnipeg, you two will defend the titles against Vinergy. Rogers: Larry, I can't tell you how great it is to be champs.

Autistic Dragon Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Devastation Inc looking strong tonight. I always loved booking the Moondogs to commit televised murder and I'm glad you're doing the same. Soultaker is sent after Disalvo while Blackblood is on the hunt for gold. Vinnie wasted no time turning his team's "hard fought" victory into a title shot. Adias sacrifices his TV title to go after Hogan! The Blockbuster could make all of the headlines if he pulls this off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control21 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 WrestleRock was amazing! A very awesome show top to bottom. Hulk Hogan getting his crowning moment in AWA came across quite well. Very well executed. I love how Sammartino is seemingly inside Zbyszko's head and continues to make life difficult for him. Brian Adias vs Hulk Hogan is a very tasty matchup on paper. Can't wait to see how that one shakes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheingans: Wow, this is what the tag team division has come to. Those two oofs are the best the AWA can come up with to challenge us for our prestigious titles. One is a dumb hillbilly and the other is an Olympic wannabe. Patera: It makes me sick! The Olympians have brought honor and class to these National titles and yet we have to lower our standards to face a couple of dopes. Well fine, I guess we'll have to make an example of them and once again show the AWA what true champions are all about.

Paul Orndorff thinks he got the best of me, well think again! At Title Night, I'm going to unleash Blackblood and believe me, he's going to rip Orndorff apart and then take his title! You're doomed and finished Orndorff! Oh and as for those sissys, the Rock in Roll Express, your time in the AWA will be short lived after the Moondogs take care of you next week!

Eye of the Tiger blasts as Hogan comes out in jeans, tank top, headband and the world title around his waist. Hogan enters the ring and holds his title high as he walks around. Resnick: Hulk, on behalf of the AWA and all these screaming fans, congratulations on winning the world title. Hogan: Well you know something Killer Ken! Hulk Hogan had one goal in the AWA brother and that was to win this world title and conquer Mount AWA! I achieved that goal thanks to the power of Hulkamania and all my Hulkamaniacs! Resnick: You're right about that! Just listen to this crowd. Ok Hulk, I'm sure you saw what went down last week. Brian Adias relinquished his TV title in the midst of a record run to challenge you for the world title. That match takes place in Winnipeg on September 2nd at Title Night. Now Brian has sort of been obsessed with you and your career in Hollywood. Hogan: Oh I've heard all the comments from Brian Adias. He's been running his mouth for months about his Hollywood career. But I have one question. What's he actually done in Hollywood? I haven't seen him in anything and nobody in Hollywood seems to know who he is. Brian Adias is all talk brother. He's been bad mouthing me long enough and his time comes at Title Night. Brian Adias! Whatcha gonna do when the power of Hulkamania runs wild on you!!!!!! The show ends with Hogan ripping his shirt off and posing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 The Renegade Warriors are on the warpath. Larry Z storms the ring to beat down Bruno's boy. The R n R are ready for the Moondogs. The Olympians are as cocky as ever. Things remain unsettled between Armstrong and Idol as their friends get involved. Honestly can't blame Akbar for being confident. Vinergy makes a statement at Oliver's expense. Muraco defends Graham's honor. Adias doesn't know what he's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 8-23-89 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight, you'll see the Rock n Roll Express take on the Moondogs. Leo Burke goes up against Glamour Doll. Terry Taylor squares off against Tom Brandi. Brian Adias will be tuning up for his upcoming world title bout. Sweet Dreams will be in tag action. The AWA World tag champs the Fantastics will be in action as well as International champ Paul Orndorff. Ok, let's get to the ring. 'Lightning' Lou Perez vs. John Selles Perez gets the fans going and wins the match with a bridging back suplex. Perez cuts a promo and says he knows he came up short in his TV title match a couple weeks ago, but that's not going to keep him down. He's determined, focused and ready. Commercial Break Leo Burke vs. Glamour Doll Doll offers a handshake but before Burke can react, Doll kicks him in the mid section and rakes his eyes.

I have been hard at work assembling what I am calling the Parliament. As you know I purchased the contracts of the British Bombers from Skandor Akbar. I would like to bring them out now. Only they will now be known as the Union Jacks. The Union Jacks come out wearing shiny Union Jack themed jackets and Union Jack themed wrestling pants. They shake hands with Thornton. Thornton: I have promised the Union Jacks that they can finish their business with Karachi Vice. Once we get through with them, we are setting our sights on tag team gold. Now, I would like you all to show proper respect as Sir Tony St. Clair graces us with his presence. St. Clair strolls out in a fur cape and purple wrestling pants with a gold lion on the back. He shakes hands with Thornton and the Union Jacks. Thornton: Sir Tony is hands down simply the best wrestler in the AWA. It's only a matter of time before he's holding a prestigious title. You're looking at the Parliament and there is nothing that can stop this royal group. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Champs the Fantastics vs. Cole Winsor and Treat Wallace The Fantastics make it look easy as they win the match with the Rocket Launcher. Nelson: On September 2nd at the next Title Night in Winnipeg, you two will be defending against Vinergy. Vinergy have been causing a lot of trouble recently. They kicked Gary Young out of the group, then last week assaulted Rip Oliver. Vinnie says you guys are next. Fulton: If they think they're somehow intimidating us, think again! Vinergy! You're next! Rogers: The only thing Vinnie and Vinergy are doing is making enemies. At title night, we're going to show them what cohesive tag team wrestling is all about! These belts are staying with us! Commercial Break The Rock n Roll Express vs. The Moondogs w/Skandor Akbar I know it's a shocker, but this match never officially begins as both teams just tear into each other before the bell rings and don't stop. It's pure chaos as they brawl all over the place and into the commercial break. This one's far from over. Commercial Break 'The Foreman' Spike Huber vs. Todd Rooney Huber looks tough tonight. He gives Rooney an airplane spin, drops him and follows with a standing leg drop for the win. Commercial Break Sweet Dreams vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Sweet Dreams win the match with a double headbutt. Wait a minute! Austin Idol and Chicky Starr come into the ring. Starr is holding a briefcase. Idol grabs the mic. Idol: After what went down last week, Bill Dundee, the real superstar has left the AWA and I don't blame him. He was robbed and cheated! Well, the All-Stars have decided to turn the heat up around here. (Looks at Dream Machine) Dream, you and I go back a long way daddy and if there's one man who deserves to be an All-Star, it's you baby! My man Chicky has something for you. Consider it a bonus. Starr kneels down and opens the briefcase which is filled with money. Starr slides it over towards Dream Machine. Dream kneels down and pulls out a wad of bills and counts them.

Taylor rolls out of the ring, pats himself on the back and raises both arms in victory as the fans boo. Commercial Break 'Blockbuster' Brian Adias vs. Ray Glader The former record setting TV Champ looks focused tonight and wins the match with a cradle suplex. Nelson: It all happens in Winnipeg at the next Title Night. Brian Adias, you gave up a lot for this opportunity. Adias: It was an easy decision! A no brainer! Because everybody knows that I'm walking out of Winnipeg as the AWA world champion. I've been waiting months for this match! I've been patiently waiting to shut Chump Hogan's mouth. He's not in my league in Hollywood and he damn sure isn't in my league in the ring. Listen up Chump! I'm going to humiliate and embarrass you as I wrestle circles around you. I know what being a champion is all about. Something you'll never know Chumpster. You're nothing but a paper champ. Adias pulls out a piece of paper and pen, then signs it and gives it to Nelson. Adias: You just got the first autograph of the next AWA world champ. Save that Nelson, it's priceless, just like me. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, don't forget, next Monday right here on Sports Channel America, you will see Title Night from Winnipeg. As for next Friday's show, the Renegade Warriors will take on the Rose Cousins. Let's go to our final match of the night. AWA International Champ 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff vs. Trent Watkins Orndorff has the fans rock'n as he puts his opponent down with the piledriver for the win!

But wait, the Rock n Roll Express are on it. The show ends with another wild brawl!

Autistic Dragon Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Perez & Burke both get back on track. The Parliament is in session. The Fantastics aren't sweating Vinergy. A Moondogs match gets out of control? Preposterous! Totally unrealistic /s. Huber with a good showing. Damn it! Should've known we couldn't trust Dream Machine. Taylor cheats his way to another victory. Adias certainly is confident, I'll give him that. Nothing like a good brawl to send us off the air.
