ErictheDragon Posted July 20 Posted July 20 Night 2, let's rock! Morrow wastes no time getting under everyone's skin. Arcidi helps his man escape the Tiger. Well Gagne clearly taught Andersson a few tricks but they both clearly bought into the idea of "The Ace" too much. Nothing like a few Gagne tears on an AWA supershow. Jammer most certainly wiped out courtesy of the Barbarian. The Mavericks show Idol who the real loser is. Brown said "screw the match, I want payback." Great night for Muraco as he not only beats Rich but makes Tully quit so loud he can't possibly deny it. Bossman puts the Hangman down showing what real justice looks like. It doesn't last long however as he gets bushwhacked by Debeers. Borne sends Houston back to the bunkhouse. Von Erich just couldn't stand against the Ultimate Warrior. Demolition survive a war with the Japanese trio. Hogan gets the win on his way out, like I said. Well, maybe? In any event that whooping he ave Morrow is more than enough to make me happy.
spaldoni Posted July 25 Author Posted July 25 This week in the AWA This week's TV show was a WrestleRock recap. Larry Nelson and Ken Resnick ran down the highlights from Puerto Rico and Minnesota. They congratulated new International champ, Konnan and the new world tag champs, Mil Mascaras and El Canek. They also congratulated TV champ Gama Singh, 6-Man champs Demolition and AWA world champ, Kokina for retaining their titles. And now for the big news. Well, it's official, Hulk Hogan has left the AWA. It was announced on the recap show after showing highlights of him taking down Gerry Morrow in the cage. An hour was dedicated to showing highlights of Hogan's time in the AWA. Included was his world title win over Jumbo Tsuruta. Highlights of his title defenses were shown against the likes of Terry Gordy, Tatsumi Fujinami, Nikita Koloff and Stan Hansen. His feud with Ric Flair was showcased along with his triumph at War Games. Hogan took the AWA to heights never before seen. Because of Hogan, the AWA was able to secure the Sports America TV deal. His movie No Holds Barred, along with Hogan's celebrity connections, brought even more attention to the AWA. Nelson and Resnick thanked Hogan for everything and wished him only the very best. Behind the scenes, the AWA praised Hogan on honoring his contract to the very end. Even with all the stressful negotiations going on, Hogan went above and beyond to end his AWA run on a high note and pack the Metrodome at WrestleRock, which meant big bucks for the AWA. Long live Hulkamania! However, the hard part is coming. Will the AWA be able to continue this unbelievable momentum. The doubts are growing because not only did Hogan leave but Kerry Von Erich also departed. This came as a surprise because the AWA had high hopes with Kerry as a main event babyface. Some people think because everybody was so focused on the Hogan dealings, they let Kerry slip away. Kerry and the Ultimate Warrior were getting high praise for their epic match at WrestleRock. Then, just a couple days later, Kerry went in the offices to turn in his resignation. It appears he got an offer he couldn't refuse. So, with the losses of Hogan and Von Erich, it looks like the rocket will be strapped to the Ultimate Warrior. Verne's on board but does have some reservations about Warrior's unusual behavior. Verne will test the waters with Warrior because he knows a main event match with Kokina down the line will bring in serious money. And it wouldn't be right if Gerry Morrow wasn't mentioned. Morrow has had quite the history with the AWA. He surprised many by getting himself so over that he eventually main evented the biggest event of the year with the biggest star in wrestling. He deserves a ton of credit for making WrestleRock a tremendous success. He definitely has a place in AWA history. As for the AWA world champ, Kokina, so far so good with a monster heel champion. Him and Colon sold out Puerto Rico and there's a pretty good list of contenders with Bossman, Muraco and Bad News Brown standing in line for a title shot. In other news, Lou Perez suffered a knee injury and will be out of action for a bit. Tom Prichard also sustained an injury which leaves his Heavenly Body partner, Jimmy Del Ray in limbo. Tommy Rich, Ron Garvin, Mr. Saito and Maxx Payne have all left the AWA. This was expected as they were all paid per appearances up until WrestleRock. Look for the Barbarian to get a big push and big things are expected for Norman. Also, another planned event will be scheduled in Puerto Rico with a Carlos Colon/Chicky Starr grudge match headlining. The remainder of 1991 will look a lot different, that's for sure. The AWA seems confident with some big veteran names but also want to start pushing some youth to prepare for the future.
ErictheDragon Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Big changes, some more planned than others, are coming to the AWA.
spaldoni Posted July 31 Author Posted July 31 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 7-31-91 Larry Nelson: Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. We hope you enjoyed last week's WrestleRock recap and the Hulk Hogan tribute. This week we're back live and ready for action. The AWA world champion, Kokina along with Adnan Al-Kassie will be here. We have the debut of JT Southern. After months of eerie footage and sounds, Norman will finally make his AWA appearance. All that and a lot more, so let's get to the ring. JT Southern vs. Todd Rooney JT comes to the ring playing his own theme song on his guitar. He's wearing shades and David Lee Roth type ring gear. JT looks pretty good in his debut and is full of heel energy as he takes numerous cheap shots. JT hits a gut buster and goes to the middle ropes. Rooney gets to his knees as JT crashes down with a flying leg drop that plants Rooney's face into the mat 1..2..3! JT looks into the camera and yells "That's how it's done!" Commercial Break The Guerreros vs. Samson Smith and Gordon Loomis The Guerreros are full of themselves tonight and take it to their opponents before finishing things off with a double gourdbuster. Nelson: Well, after your controversial win over the Bombers at WrestleRock, the AWA has declared the two of you number one contenders to the world tag team titles. Chavo: First off Nelson, what do you mean controversial? We did exactly what we said we were going to do. We beat those British bloopers fair a square! Hector: And now we've been rightfully rewarded. So, Canek, Mascaras, enjoy your short title reign because the Guerreros are coming for you which means those titles are ours! Commercial Break Bobby Blaze vs. Trent Watkins After Bobby's big upset over Gagne's ace at WrestleRock, the fans give Bobby a whole lot of love tonight. He takes it all in and wins the match with the Northern Lights Suplex. The camera picks up a shot of Greg Gagne standing at the top of the aisle. He's giving Bobby a pissed off look while shaking his head as to say I can't believe this guy beat my Ace. While this is happening, the fans heckle Gagne quite a bit. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, we're about ready to see Norman in action... A man wearing a white mask and white suit leads Norman to ringside. Nelson: May I ask who you are and what your relationship is with Norman? Man: My identity is not important. You may refer to me as Dr. X. I have been helping Norman progress and my professional opinion is he's now ready to compete. Dr. X looks at Norman and calmly says "Norman, destroy" Norman w/Dr. X vs. Carl Kellerman Norman just mauls his opponent before easily finishing him off with the Monster Mash (front slam) Dr. X leads Norman back to ringside. Dr. X: I have turned Norman into an unstoppable force... Cheers as TV champ Gama Singh comes out. He gives Norman a sad look. Gama: Makhan? Makhan? What has happened to you? It's me, Gama. Please Makhan, let me help you. Norman: My name is Norman! Norman charges and mows Gama down! Norman picks up Gama and rams his back into the steel post several times! Norman picks up Gama and delivers a Monster Mash on the concrete! Norman looks at Dr. X. Dr. X gives him a nod. Norman picks up Gama and delivers another Monster Mash on the concrete! Dr. X calmly escorts Norman out of there. Medics rush the scene. Moments later, Gama is stretchered out. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, we just witnessed a very disturbing sight. Gama Singh has been rushed to the hospital and hopefully we'll have an update on his condition very soon. (deep breath) ok, please welcome out the new AWA International champion, Konnan. Konnan comes out looking dapper in his blue satin shirt and black pants. The title is on his shoulder. Nelson: Konnan, congratulations on winning the International title at WrestleRock. A lot of people were impressed with your sportsmanship after the match. Konnan: Thank you Larry. (looks down, then out at all the fans) You know, I did a lot of things the last year I haven't been proud of. I was too consumed with being the best International wrestling star that I took a lot of shortcuts. Right now, I want to thank Leo Burke. Leo reminded me what this sport is all about. We went all out at WrestleRock and that's the way it should be. No shortcuts, no breaking the rules, just two competitors giving it their best for this prestigious title. I'm here to say that I will defend this title with honor and I'm ready for all challengers. The era of Konnan has begun. The fans respect this and cheer as Konnan holds his title high. Commercial Break We see an ad for the next Title Night in Winnipeg next month. Iceman Parsons w/Jackie vs. Ray Glader Parsons is very aggressive tonight and tears his opponent apart before winning the match with the Hip Attack! Nelson: Jackie, at WrestleRock... Jackie: Shut your mouth Larry! At WrestleRock, my man Iceman got cheated Parsons: That's right! As far as I'm concerned, Gama Singh got what he deserved tonight! Jackie: And listen up RPM's, because of you two sorry fools, TCB have left the area. Trust me when I say this, your payback is coming! More boos as Austin Idol and Bill Dundee strut out. They high five Jackie and Parsons. Idol: Jackie darling, I feel your pain and I think I can help. Austin Idol's looking to shake things up and expand. This is where I need your help. How about if we work together. What if Iceman teams up with the Superstar? I would love for you to guide this team while I go out and acquire my newest acquisition. Think about it. The Iceman and Superstar. That's money! And that's your solution to wipe out the RPMs. With you and me working together, nothing can stop us. Jackie and Parsons converse quietly and nod. Jackie: Austin, Iceman and I love you and Bill. It would be nice to work with proper professionals for a change. I say, you're on! Dundee and Parsons hug as Jackie and Idol shake hands and smile. Commercial Break We see Col. Debeers standing in front of a tank. Debeers: (twirling his mustache) There is a man that claims to be law and order in the AWA. At WrestleRock, I showed that man who really is the law and order here. Big Bossman! Your days of administering your kind of justice are over! Colonel Debeers is back in the AWA and calling the shots! The Ultimate Warrior vs. Jason Cavat The fans get a high energy burst as Warrior sprints to the ring. The fans are all into it as Warrior pinballs his opponent and finishes him off with the press slam/splash! Nelson: Warrior, you and Kerry Von Erich truly battled it out at WrestleRock. Warrior: I came here for a purpose and that was to be the one and only Ultimate Warrior! I salute you Kerry Von Erich! You took me to the deepest depths I needed to go. You tested me like no other. Because of you, I accomplished my mission. And now I stand here in the AWA as the Ultimate Warriorrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! The fans are up and cheering! Commercial Break Nelson: Ok fans, joining me now is Adnan Al-Kassie and the AWA world champion, Kokina. Adnan is in his Sheik attire. Kokina walks out looking like a beast with the title on his shoulder. Nelson: Adnan, Kokina walked out of WrestleRock with the world title although some say Chicky Starr had an assist. Larry jumps back when Kokina roars at him. Adnan: Larry Nelson, you and all Americans love to make excuses. Kokina went into Carlos Colon's homeland and destroyed him. There is no question about that! There is no one who can defeat Kokina. No one! Nelson: I'm not arguing that. Kokina is beyond impressive. However, up next at Title Night, he'll be defending the AWA world title against Demolition Smash one third of the AWA 6 Man champions and a real powerhouse. Adnan: His power is no match for Kokina! Everybody says Demolition are real tough and love to beat people up. Kokina doesn't just beat people up, he annihilates them! Just ask Carlos Colon. At Title Night, Kokina will demolish a member of Demolition! Kokina lets out another roar as he holds his title high.
ErictheDragon Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Southern is here and ready to rock. Los Guerreros have their sights set on gold. Gagne seethes while Blze continues to shine. Holy shit, Dr X turned Norman into a monster. He even destroyed his longtime tag partner. Konnan vows to be a champion the fans can be proud of. Gotta hand it to Idol, putting Iceman and Dundee together does sound like money. A trio of strong promos close the show.
spaldoni Posted August 7 Author Posted August 7 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 8-7-91 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight, you'll see the AWA world tag team champs, Mil Mascaras and El Canek. For a TV title shot at the next Title Night in Winnipeg, Al Perez goes up against Rip Morgan. Los Boricuas takes on the Tribal Nation. AWA 6-Man champs, Demolition will be in action. Commissioner Magnum TA will be here with a big announcement. All that and a lot more, so let's get to the ring. 'Maniac' Matt Borne vs. Samson Smith Borne comes to the ring wearing his beanie and jean shorts while holding up his axhandle. Borne beats his opponent down and finishes things off with the Northern Exposure. Borne cuts a promo and says he ran that so called tough guy Sam Houston out of town and then challenges more tough guys to get in the ring with him. Commercial Break Scott 'Flash' Norton w/Ted Arcidi vs. Trent Watkins Arcidi's loud and boisterous on the outside as Norton pummels his opponent. Norton hits the powerslam and it's all over. Nelson: Ok Ted, it's official, your man Scott Norton will get a shot at the AWA International title in 2 weeks at Title Night. Arcidi: Well, it's about damn time Scott Norton gets some respect around here! I feel so sorry for you Konnan. Tell them Scotty! Norton: Konnan! Get ready for the beating of your life! That title is mine and I'm gonna take it! Arcidi and Norton do some more yelling and laughing before leaving. Nelson looks at them like they're crazy. Commercial Break Los Boricuas vs. The Tribal Nation Both teams are coming off big wins at WrestleRock and want to get into the title picture. They waste no time tonight as the first few minutes are back and forth hard hitting action. Tribal Nation take control as they do a number on Miguel. Chris holds Miguel as Mark comes off the top rope with a tomahawk chop 1..2..Kick Out. Miguel weathers the storm and eventually makes the tag to Castillo. Castillo gets things in Boricuas favor as they work over Mark. Castillo slams Mark as Miguel hits an elbow drop from the top rope 1..2..Chris runs in to break it. A pier six brawl breaks out. During the melee the bell sounds signaling a ten minute draw. The bell keeps ringing but the brawl is still going. Commercial Break Nelson: Wow, as you just saw, the tag team competition here in the AWA is at an all time high. Fans, joining me now is the Commissioner Magnum TA. Magnum, I know you have a lot to talk about so go right ahead. Magnum: Thank you Larry. Things are really moving in the AWA and honestly, I'm still on a high from WrestleRock. However, the AWA is ready to move forward in an exciting way. In 2 weeks, Title Night will take place in Winnipeg. Last week the Guerreros were announced as the number one world tag team contenders. Due to a scheduling conflict, they won't be able to get their shot at Title Night but will get their shot in the near future. As for Title Night, the RPMs will take on Canek and Mascaras for the world tag titles. That should be a great match for sure. Now, we all saw what happened to Gama Singh last week at the hands of that lunatic Norman. Gama suffered a couple broken ribs but insisted he will be at Title Night to defend his title. I tried to talk him out of it but like I said, he insisted. So, as of now, he'll be defending his title against the winner of tonight's Al Perez/Rip Morgan match. And finally, added to Title Night will be a 4 man gauntlet match to determine the number one contender to the AWA world title. The 4 men that have been chosen are The Magnificent Muraco, Bad News Brown, Dick Slater and Art Barr. I want to note that the Big Bossman would've been in this match but due to injuries sustained by Col Debeers and the Hangman at WrestleRock, he's unfortunately still out of action. Title Night is set and you won't want to miss it. Commercial Break The Barbarian vs. Neil Jordan Poor Neil Jordan gets the beating of his life. Barbarian puts him out of his misery with a diving clothesline from the top rope! Nelson: Wow! The Barbarian has already taken the AWA by storm... Boooooooos as Greg Gagne walks out. Nelson: (rolls his eyes) Greg, what are you doing here? Gagne: Shut up Nerd and just listen! At WrestleRock, everybody witnessed the biggest and luckiest fluke in wrestling history. Nelson: (smiling) Are you referring to Bobby Blaze pinning your ace? Gagne: I said shut up! (calms down) It was a major fluke, plain and simple. From now on, no more games and no more playing nice guy. My ace is in Sweden training harder than ever. I'm out here to simply say, we want a rematch with Bobby Blaze and if he has the guts, he'll accept. But listen up Bobby Boy! Lighting won't strike twice and we can guarantee that! I'm out of here. Commercial Break The Mavericks vs. Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez Young and Storm look more confident than ever. Young puts Lopez down with a bulldog from the second rope and tags in Storm. Storm swings Lopez to the ropes and hits the spere for the win. The Mavericks cut a promo and say that now their business with Austin Idol is over, they're looking at a chance for some tag team gold. Commercial Break Bad News Brown vs. Ray Glader Brown rips apart his opponent and ends it with the ghetto blaster! Nelson: Bad News Brown, at WrestleRock, it was obvious the match against Maxx Payne didn't matter to you. Brown: That was just to show that when you mess with me, it's bad news for you! Speaking of bad news, at Title Night, I'm going in there for one reason and one reason only and that's to stake my claim for the world title which means that's a lot of bad news for those three other slouches! Commercial Break Winner gets an AWA TV title shot at Title Night Al Perez vs. Rip Morgan w/The Equalizer Perez starts off quick by taking down Morgan with hip tosses and dropkicks. The tide changes when Equalizer trips Perez allowing Morgan to work over Perez. Morgan chokes Perez on the ropes. During the break, Equalizer reaches in and chokes Perez. Morgan slams Perez's head on the turnbuckle, swings him to the ropes and hits a big boot to the face 1..2..Perez gets his shoulder up. Morgan swings Perez to the corner and charges in but Perez moves. Perez fires up. He hops on the turnbuckles and punches down on Morgan as the fans count along. Perez grabs Morgan and hits a hanging suplex. Perez swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop 1..2..Kick Out. Equalizer hops on the apron. Perez goes over and nails him with a punch. Perez turns around as Morgan rakes his eyes. Morgan pounds down on Perez. Equalizer stands up on the apron. Morgan swings Perez towards him but Perez reverses it and swings Morgan into Equalizer. Morgan staggers into a bridging back suplex by Perez 1..2..3! An excited Perez cuts a promo and wishes his brother a speedy recovery from knee surgery. Perez then says he's excited to face Gama at Title Night and hopes he'll be in good health by then. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Champs Mil Mascaras and El Canek vs. William Hillman and Todd Rooney The champs are in total sync tonight. Canek holds Rooney up in a suplex position as Mascaras hits a flying press from the top rope for the win! The fans cheer as Canek and Mascaras hold up the titles. Commercial Break Nelson: Fans, before we get to our next match, I've been informed that next week Chicky Starr will be here and boy does he have a lot of explaining to do. Ok, back to the ring. AWA 6-Man Champs Demolition vs. 3 Local Talents Pure showcase for Demolition as they get their hard hitting spots in and win the match with the decapitator! Nelson: Another win for the 6 man champs. Smash, you get the opportunity of a lifetime at Title Night when you go for the world title against Kokina. Crush: We couldn't be happier for our brother! Ax: We'll be by his side and if Adnan sticks his nose in things, it'll be hell to pay! Smash: Kokina! You're big and bad but that doesn't mean nothing to me! Let's see how you respond when I kick your teeth down your throat! We're the 6 man champs but Demolition will hold all of the titles in the AWA if we want! And nobody can stop us! AWA Title Night Winnipeg Arena 8-22-91 AWA World Title Bout Kokina (C) w/Adnan Al-Kassie vs. Demolition Smash w/Ax and Crush AWA World Tag Team Title Bout El Canek and Mil Mascaras (C) vs. The Rock N Roll RPMs AWA International Title Bout Konnan (C) vs. Scott 'Flash' Norton w/ Ted Arcidi AWA TV Title Bout Gama Singh (C) vs. Al Perez AWA World Title Number One Contender Gauntlet Match The Magnificent Muraco vs. Bad News Brown vs. 'Unpredictable' Dick Slater vs. 'The Love Machine' Art Barr w/The Vin Man
ErictheDragon Posted August 8 Posted August 8 Borne sends out a challenge to anybody in the AWA who thinks their tough. I think Norton & Arcidi may be overdoing the energy drinks. Los Boricuas and the Nation run into each other on the hunt for gold. Barby shows up, wrecks a fool than leaves, sounds like a good role for him. Gagne is up in his feelings and demands a rematch for his "Ace". The Mavericks try to focus on what's important. Bad News will gladly k.o three men at once if it means a World title shot. Perez survives the monster and earns a TV title match. The tag champs are looking great. Demolition send a strong message to Kokina.
kevinmcfl Posted August 12 Posted August 12 Nice job keeping the AWA flowing after Wrestlerock and the departure of Hulk. This transition period will be interesting to see if the fans can buy into Warrior like they did Hulk. If they don't, it would just mean a focus on more of the tag team division and your midcard feuds that you are so good at buidling. AWA is going to be fun to watch as you have so many choices. For example, great job with Norman turning on Gamma and Dundee going with Iceman. Really looking forward to title night; especially the main event.
spaldoni Posted August 15 Author Posted August 15 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 8-14-91 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. Big main event as the British Bombers take on Jumbo Tsuruta and Shinya Hashimoto. After his interference in the world title bout at WrestleRock, Chicky Starr makes his in ring return to the AWA. All that and a lot more, so let's get to the ring. The Rock N Roll RPMs vs. Samson Smith and Carl Kellerman RPMs are on fire tonight and win the match with their Spandex Split. RPMs cut a promo and say they've never been more of a cohesive unit and at Title Night they're taking home the gold! Commercial Break Bobby Blaze vs. Trent Watkins Fan favorite Blaze gets the win with the Northern Lights Suplex Nelson: Bobby Blaze, come on over. I'm sure you've been listening to Greg Gagne because you signed on for the rematch with his Ace, Frank Andersson. That match takes place right here, next week. Blaze: Yea, Greg says lightning won't strike twice but I say it will. Bobby Blaze is looking to rise the rankings and that will continue next week when I beat the Ace...again! Commercial Break We see footage from a couple weeks ago when Norman went crazy on Gama and Monster Mashed him twice on the concrete. Nelson: Fans, I've been told that Gama Singh suffered bruised ribs but has made it clear that he will be at Title Night to defend his title against Al Perez. That's what I call a true fighting champion. Now get ready because that lunatic Norman is up next. Norman the Lunatic w/Dr. X vs. Mike Jurgens Dr. X calmly looks on as Norman destroys his opponent and finishes him off with the Monster Mash! Nelson: We all just saw the footage. Dr. X, may I ask why... Dr. X cuts him off X: What is this man's name? Nelson: (nervously) Ah, his name is N...Norman X: Very good. Gama Singh was a message sent and I hope everybody received it loud and clear. Now it appears certain sick people have labeled Norman a lunatic. We take strong offense to that. What these people did was unleash the monster within Norman. Just remember, from now on, Norman's actions are on everybody else's conscience. Norman, time to go. Norman walks up to a nervous Nelson and stares him down before slowly walking away. Commercial Break 'Unpredictable' Dick Slater vs. Neil Jordan Slater roughs up his opponent and easily finishes him off with a Russian Leg Sweep Slater cuts a promo and says he's going to run through the gauntlet at Title Night and get his rightful world title shot. Commercial Break The Magnificent Muraco vs. Kyle Chapman Muraco looks rejuvenated and wins the match with an inverted piledriver Nelson: Don, now that your long time issues with Tully Blanchard are over, you get a chance to be the number one world title contender at Title Night. Muraco: You know brotha, Tully Blanchard is gone! Tommy Rich is gone! I've never felt better in my life. I'm taking this momentum into Title Night and will be the number one contender! Commercial Break A woman is standing next to Larry Nelson. Nelson: Fans, I want to introduce you to Malia. Malia, I understand you have an announcement. Malia: I sure do! Right now, each and every one of you are going to have the privilege of watching the future of tag team wrestling. I'm taking these guys all the way to the top. So, please welcome Slick Vic and Superb Scotty, the Hit Sensations! The Hit Sensations (Vic Steamboat and Scott Putski) w/Malia vs. Todd Rooney and Ray Glader The Hit Sensations come out wearing black wrestling pants with yellow stripes. They've got on black vests with yellow studded letters on the back that say 'Sensations' Malia cheers them on as they work over their opponents. Scotty hits a Polish Hammer on Glader and tags in Vic. Scotty holds Glader in a backbreaker position as Vic comes off the top rope with a flying leg drop to the chest for the win. Malia looks into the camera and says "That move's called the Hit Maker! Commercial Break The Iceman and The Superstar w/Jackie vs. Paul Crew and Harold Bannister Parsons and Dundee just work so well together and they let everyone know that. Parsons hits the Hip Attack and tags in Dundee, who finishes things off with the Bombs Away. Jackie cuts a promo and says the RPMs have done nothing to earn a world tag team title shot but they better be worried about the Iceman and Superstar because we're all coming after you! 'The Love Machine' Art Barr w/ The Vin Man vs. William Hillman Vin smiles and applauds as Barr hits the Frog Splash for the win. Nelson: Vinnie, I'm glad to see you've woken up after that punch Hector Camacho gave you at WrestleRock Vin: Real funny Larbo, but you're not going to sour our mood today. No way! Art Barr has risen the rankings faster than any man in the history of the AWA and nothing can stop him. At Title Night, Artie's going to run through those three other chumps and seal his shot at the world title...YEA! Commercial Break Chicky Starr vs. Carl Kellerman Massive boos as Chicky enters the ring. Chicky spends a lot of time yelling at the fans but finally finishes things off with a corkscrew elbow drop. Nelson: (Disgusted) Chicky Starr, what you did at WrestleRock was inexcusable. You tainted the world title bout! Why would you do that? Chicky: You ask why? Why wouldn't I do that? I am the biggest wrestling star in Puerto Rico and everybody knows that! Carlos Colon didn't deserve that shot but he gets it and look what happened? He lost and embarrassed himself for all of Puerto Rico to see. Carlos Colon should be ashamed of himself! I would have never let my people down but he did! Carlos Colon is nothing but a loser! Where is he now? He's too ashamed to show his face and he should be! If Carlos has a problem with me try and do something about it! Commercial Break The British Bombers vs. Jumbo Tsuruta and Shinya Hashimoto Jumbo and Shinya look a bit distraught tonight while the Bombers look ready to go. Jumbo and Shinya are off their game as the Bombers control early and take turns working both men over. Bombers almost get the win when Smith hit a snap suplex on Jumbo and Tony followed with a senton from the second rope but Jumbo managed to barely get his shoulder up. Minutes later, Jumbo and Shinya finally get control and get in some hard hitting moves. During a double team, Jumbo power bombed Smith and covered but the Ref told Jumbo he wasn't the legal man. This confusion gave Smith the chance to roll over and tag in Tony. Tony's on fire but Shinya stops him with a thrust shot to the throat. Shinya follows with a vertical drop brainbuster 1..2..Smith breaks it. Jumbo comes in and fights with Smith. The Ref regains order and Tony rolls over and tags in Smith. As the Ref is guiding Jumbo back to his corner, Smith dropkicks Shinya into Jumbo. Smith grabs Shinya and hits a German Suplex 1..2..3! BIG POP! The Bombers celebrate their big win and exit. Jumbo and Shinya are having words on the outside. They both look unenthused and walk away from each other.
rainmakerrtv Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Looking forward to what happens with the Hit Sensations. Great way to get a new team and their finisher over. Huge win for the Bombers, looks like trouble between the Japanese stars.
ErictheDragon Posted August 15 Posted August 15 The RPM's are rockin ahead of their big title match. Blaze is fired up for his rematch with the Ace. Gee Dr X, I wonder why anyone would think the man you tortured into changing his name and made assault his longtime tag partner is a lunatic? Slater, Muraco & Barr are all ready for the gauntlet. Maila really does seem to have a pair of hits on her hands. Iceman & Superstar just got together and Jackie's already talking about title shots. Chicky's as charming as ever. The Bombers are flying high while the Japanese are drifting apart.
spaldoni Posted August 22 Author Posted August 22 AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 8-21-91 Larry Nelson: Hello everybody and welcome to AWA Major League Wrestling. We're just one day away from Title Night, here on Sports Channel America. I know you'll all be tuning in for that. As for tonight, we have a great show lined up. The Missouri Tiger takes on JT Southern. Greg Gagne's Ace gets his WrestleRock rematch with Bobby Blaze. The Tribal Nation go at it again with Los Boricuas. The Barbarian will be in action.

Burke cuts a promo and says he knows he came up short at WrestleRock but after taking a much needed vacation he's ready to get back in the hunt. Commercial Break Los Boricuas vs. The Tribal Nation These two teams wrestled to a hard hitting draw a couple weeks ago and this match starts right where they left off. The first few minutes is back and forth seesaw action. Each team shines with some fantastic double team maneuvers. Tribal Nation comes close to victory with a double hot shot but Los Boricuas comes back later and almost seal the deal with a double flapjack but Tribal Nation weather the storm. The minutes are counting down and we get a pier six brawl. Mark Youngblood is dropkicked out of the ring. While he's out there, he grabs his tomahawk. Inside the ring, the Ref final guides Perez back to his corner. Castillo has Chris up in a suplex position but Mark runs in and whacks Castillo's back with the tomahawk. Chris falls on top as the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOOOOO! Commercial Break The Cobra vs. Trent Watkins Cobra excites the fans once again with his high octane offense.

'The Raging Bull' Manny Fernandez vs. Clinton Stitch A nice surprise to start the show as Manny Fernandez makes his return to the AWA. Manny comes to the ring wearing a red bandana, tank top and jeans. He tosses the bandana and shirt and gets down to business. He brings his brawling skills tonight and then finishes things off with the flying burrito. Nelson: Manny, welcome back to the AWA. Manny: Thank very much Larry Nelson. The Raging Bull is back baby and I'm ready to lock horns with anyone and everyone. I'm so fired up Larry and nothing can stop me!

The Happening will take place at the Sullivan Arena. We've had some big cards there in the past and we thought it was time to go back and give them a very special event.

He easily wins the match with a corkscrew elbow drop. Nelson: Chicky, on September 5th, you will return to Puerto Rico and face Carlos Colon. Or should I say, you'll be answering to Carlos Colon. Chicky: Yea I heard Carlos crying and whining like a sissy last week. Carlos, you failed and let our people down. They need someone to believe in and that's me. In Puerto Rico, I'll give our people the hero they need. Somebody who won't let them down. You're a failure Carlos and I hope you're holding your head down in shame every night. I take care of you in Puerto Rico. Commercial Break We see the familiar desolate town. The camera pans up to the Hangman as he grips his noose. The camera pans over to Nell. Nell: Greetings all. Did you think we were never coming back? Oh no, no, no. We've been carefully choosing our next victim and I believe we've come to a decision. Leo Burke, you've been chosen. You see Leo, we've been watching you very carefully. You're a man who can't face the reality that your time has come. Well Leo, your time has come and it's time for the Hangman to put you out of your misery. See you soon Leo. See you real soon. The Hangman tightens his grip on the noose. Jumbo Tsuruta and Shinya Hashimoto vs. Randall Jones and Steven Moorehead A couple weeks ago these two seemed far off from being on the same page.

Well, sitting in that bar was none other than...wait, I don't want to let the cat out of the bag. Here's his card. Idol hands Jackie the card. Jackie's eyes widen. Jackie shows Parsons and Dundee. They look very impressed. Idol: That's right! Jackie darling, I have a master plan. I'll take over managing the Iceman and Superstar and as a gift, I want you to represent that man. He's all yours Jackie. I know you can work wonders with him. We'll still be affiliated but you call all the shots with him. If you ever need anything, we'll always be there for you. Jackie, what do you say? Jackie: Austin! You're talking my language. Yea, I got this and I wont let him down. That's a fact! Idol: I know it is Jackie.

We see footage from Title Night when Dr. X and Norman caused chaos. That's followed by Lou Perez tossing his crutch to Al. Al hits Gama Singh's ribs with it and executes the helicopter drop to win the title. We come back to Larry Nelson Nelson: Joining me now is the new AWA TV Champion, Al Perez. Boos as Lou (still on crutches) comes out with Al. The fans boo louder as Al smiles and holds up the TV title. Nelson: I can't believe what went down at Title Night. Al, how can you call yourself a champion. Lou: Hold up Larry! You will refer to my brother, the TV champion as the Latin Heartthrob Al Perez! Al: Great job Lou, you always got my back. To answer your question Larry, I call myself the TV champion because I earned this! I straight up asked Gama if he was good to wrestle at that idiot said yes. My brother Lou will be managing my affairs while he heals from his knee injury. See, Lou's smart unlike that goof Gama. Gama needs to worry about that lunatic that's after him. As for me, I will be a fighting champion. Bring them on and I'll knock each challenger over like dominos. The fans boo as Lou points to Al while he smiles and holds up the TV title. Commercial Break The Mavericks and 'Maniac' Matt Borne vs. Rampage and Scott 'Flash' Norton w/ Ted Arcici We get a good 10 minute fun match where everybody gets some shine in.

Storm turns around to look for the Ref but Norton blasts him with a loaded clothesline! Norton covers as Arcidi yells at the Ref. The Ref dives over and counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOOOOOOO
ErictheDragon Posted yesterday at 01:05 AM Posted yesterday at 01:05 AM The raging Bull is back bay. Malia's boys continue to impress. The Happening is heading north to Alaska and it's bringing two major title matches. Chicky isn't sweating his next match with Colon. Neil and The Hangman return with their sights set on Burke. Jumbo & Hashimoto seem to have buried the hatchet. I don't know who Idol just gave Jackie but he's gotta be something if she gave up Dundee and Iceman in return. The Gigolo is ready to go it alone. I suppose Al is technically correct, he did offer Gama an out. Some 6 man chaos closes the night which ends with Norton's loaded pad getting the win.
