Nelson: Wow I can't believe what we just witnessed. Ric Flair is the new AWA world champion and it appears there's a powerful alliance in the AWA. 

Resnick: I agree but I'll tell you one thing, Hulk Hogan put on one of the gutsiest performances I've ever seen and I know Hulkamania will come back stronger than ever. But I'll give credit where credit is due. Ric Flair is the new AWA world champion. 

Nelson: Indeed he is. Well fans, we hope you enjoyed WrestleRock. This was definitely one for the history books. It's time to rock with AC/DC one more time. Thank you for being a part of this year's tremendous WrestleRock.

Awesome work here with WrestleRock!  You put a lot of time and effort into this and it really shows!!

For me, the biggest bouts of the first night were the Muraco/Jumbo cage match.  So well done and so suspensful.  Also. talk about suspense... The Hangman vs Snowman!  I was really looking forward to this one and now I can't wait to see what is really going on here.  Next, Colon and Debeers!  I new this was going to be a war.  Wonder after the DQ if we will get another brawl between this two.  I love how you have used Colon during his stay in the AWA!  In real life, I have never known exactly what to make of Terry Taylor.  Big babyface in the UWF, arrogant heel in WCW and a clown in the WWF but I could not wait to see who he was to face here.... WOW.... Stan Hansen... Poor Terry Taylor.  Great job!  And then the main event for Night 1... the RnR Express vs the Enforcers.... now looking more like the new Horsemen!  Nice job bringing in Tully!

On to Night 2:

I enjoyed the matchup and the description of Mike Graham and Ron Garvin... loved the no music for the no nonsense duo.

Love... Love... Love the paring of Dr. Tom and the Nature Boy.... Great job!

Great story line between Buzz and Cactus... if this is finally over, it was a great ride!  Perfect way to develop Cactus!  

Also, I am really enjoying your use of El Canek... Big win over Bundy and bigger win for the fans when he press slammed Greg Gagne!

And the Flair era begins... sometimes the chase is bigger than the title reign.  Hogan is really set to draw big crowds as he goes back after Flair.

 

AWESOME EVENT
