Huge win for the Vice, POP have seemed to fall on hard times lately.

Some great match ups in this US Tag Title tournament, The Commonwealth take the titles! This will throw even more gas on Foley's fire!

Luger vs. Link turns into a melee that I'm sure us setting the table for even more insanity real soon!

[Scarlet-Left]

A fun follow-up to Halloween Havoc ... and one that lead into a tag team tournament! In my heart, I wanted the Rockers to go the distance but the Commonwealth are a solid pick for US Champs. A territory that can put Harley Race, Randy Savage, Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard in the main event seems unstoppable!

[spaldoni]

Yet another fun Mid Atlantic loop.

Spartanburg Vice gets some payback on Red Tide for that time Red Tide beat them and buried the Russian flag on them. 

Barbarian better be ready because I'm sure Wahoo wont let that interference slide. 

DAMN! Savage and Race vs. Tully and Flair in the cage! Awesome! Now we're going to get Flair/Race! 

Gaylord picks up another big win, this time over Warlord.

Posse win a round against Brutha's. Great heat filled match to end the night. 

Spivey vs. Link has the potential to be one crazy hard hitting feud. 

The fans get to see a wild match between Road Warriors and Spectral Hand. 

 

[kevinmcfl]

I really enjoyed your tv show this week.  I thought your Ole Anderson impression was spot on!  Well done.  I hope you have as much fun with JR Foley as I did.  There is some great video of him up in Stampede with Stu Hart on youtube.  He was an interesting character.  Also, nice job with Kevin Sullivan.  He is sometime hard to write for but you are making it look easy!  I liked Norvel Austin in a match.  This idea gives Spivey someone who knows what he is doing to work with, and you are not upsetting Austin but making him go down in jobber-like fashion.  

Can't wait for our next big event!

MACW TV 11/12/1986

On Commentary:Bob Caudle & Tony Schiavone 

Ring Announcer:David Crockett 

Airing on WTBS Channel 17 from the Memorial Auditorium in Greenville SC 

(The show opens with footage from last weeks show in Raleigh. We see highlights showing The Midnight Rockers & The Commonwealth's path to the finals before seeing The Commonwealth winning with the help of JR Foley becoming the new NWA United States Tag Team Champions. We then cut to the opening montage set to "The Hit" by Richard Myhill before going to Caudle & Schiavone ringside)

BC:Wrestling fans welcome to another episode of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, professional wrestling's most exciting hour sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance. I'm Bob Caudle alongside Tony Schiavone and Tony we're a bit over 2 weeks away from the NWA's Thanksgiving Extravaganza, Starrcade.

TS: That's right Bob and what a event it's shaping up to be. All 3 NWA World titles will be defended as well as each territory making their own contributions and you better believe the head of each territory is determined to make sure they're the ones making the best match on the card. Tonight the Mid-Atlantic portion will begin to take shape as Nikita Koloff will be out here with a announcement regarding his NWA United States Championship. Also Mid-Atlantic has been granted the honor of sending one of our own to challenge the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion "Hacksaw" Butch Reed, we'll tell you how the challenger will be determined later this broadcast.

BC: That's some exciting news Tony but before we get to far ahead of ourselves we've got a great night of wrestling in store for you tonight and it's time to head to the ring for our first match.

"British Magician" Steve Wright defeats The Executioner with the "Octopus Hold"

Commercial-Bob Caudle runs down the MACW House Shows for the coming week 

(We return to see Caudle joined by the entire Red Tide)

BC: Wrestling fans my guests at this time (Nikita snatches the mic away mid-sentence)

 

NK: No introductions necessary Comrade Caudle, even the most ignorant American can recognize the superior Russian athletes of The Red Tide. Perhaps you think having Botch Reed as your Champion means the NWA World Heavyweight Championship is safe from Nikita...but is not so. Botch Reed can only deny inevitable. Nikita WILL be NWA World Heavyweight Champion once again. But now Nikita wishes to talk about Starrcade to be held on most disgusting of American holiday, Thanksgiving. While countless spoiled Americans gather in their decadent homes, gorging themselves on the fruits of others labor, patting themselves on the back for how your ancestors stole land from the very people who saved their wretched lives. Nikita will be in the Omni in the pathetic American city of Atlanta issuing a open challenge to anyone in the entire National Wrestling Alliance who thinks they can take the United States of America Championship from Nikita. Who answers matters not as none can take this title from Nikita just as none can halt the rising of The Red Tide as Uncle Ivan & Comrade Ustinov shall demonstrate.

The Red Tide defeat The Interns with a double Russian Legsweep on Intern #2

Commercial for Halloween Havoc 86 coming soon from NWA Home Video 

(We return to footage from Halloween Havoc showing Randy Savage & Tully Blanchard's quarterfinal match ending in a double c.o.  We then cut to Caudle joined by Randy Savage & Ms Elizabeth)

BC: Wrestling fans as you just saw my guest at this time "Macho Man" Randy Savage met with his fierce rival Tully Blanchard in the quarterfinals of the tournament at Halloween Havoc where tensions boiled over leading to a double c.o. Well Randy, tomorrow night in Charlotte it's you & Tully one more time but this time it's 2-out-of-3 falls with the winner challenging Butch Reed for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade. 

 

RS: You know Bob Caudle. Ever since Tully Blanchard arrived & joined up with the Horsemen he's made it his mission in life to be the thorn in the Macho Man's side yeah, been bound & determined to keep the Macho Man from reaching the mountaintop ain't ya? Well let explain something to ya Blanchard, You may tell yourself you're some kinda gatekeeper deciding who gets to hold the gold but all you really are is just something in the Macho Man's way YEAH so what's gonna happen tomorrow night is real simple, The Macho Man is gonna beat your ass 2 straight then it's on to bigger & better things. Butch Reed you better believe that the Macho Man has all the respect in the world for you. No question you earned the right to lift the ten pounds of gold after giving one of the greatest performance the Macho Man has ever seen. But make no mistake, if beating you is what it takes to become NWA World Heavyweight Champion then all the respect in the world don't mean a damn thing. I will defeat Tully Blanchard, I will become NWA World Heavyweight Champion & if have ANY doubts watch what the Macho Man does to this chump in the ring 

"Macho Man" Randy Savage w/Ms Elizabeth defeats Mick Foley with the "Savage Elbow"

Commercial+Promo for Starrcade 86 from the Omni in Atlanta.

BC:Wrestling fans welcome back and my guest at this time...woah woah you're not scheduled to be out here! (Kevin Sullivan grabs the mic from Caudle and throws him a glare that quits any further decent)

KS: I don't have time to argue with you Cawdle I'm on a devine mission. Ya see i was prepared to draw this out till it ceased to amuse me but the higher powers had different plans. I received a vision. Abudadeen appeared before me, The lady with the third eye on his left & the Snake Master on his right. They have decreed it is time to end this insignificant conflict and move on to more worthy challenges. So Luger, McDaniel, Spivey grab any 2 sacrificial lambs you can find and bring them to Starrcade for that has been determined to be the site of the final battle as we lay all our enemies low (Sullivan pauses before breaking out in a smile far too big for his face) in WARGAMES!!! (Sullivan walks away cackling madly while a shaken  Caudle can barely be heard sending us to the ring for our next match)

Tully Blanchard is heading to Starrcade!

[spaldoni]

Tis the season for Starrcade! 

Nikita might be the most intimidating man in the NWA but an open challenge match might backfire.

Savage vs. Tully, winner faces Reed at Starrcade for the NWA world title! I'm sold. 

OH SNAP! WarGames is back! This is absolutely the only way to end this well built feud. 

Flair vs. Race, one more time! 

To Charlotte, 

Radiance is building up some nice heat.

 Damn, an Air Africa from the apron! I think Kamala has put an end to Vachon. 

WarGames is heating up as the Renegade Warriors throw their name in the hat. Love the continuity from Amarillo. 

Wright works his magic and gets his team the win. I wish I could've seen Foley's face. 

Tully earns his world title shot the hard way by going 3 falls with Savage. The fans were lucky to witness a classic like this. Reed vs. Tully is very intriguing. 

Good job building up Starrcade. 

[Blehschmidt]

Tully moving on to challenge Butch Reed with Baby Doll in his corner could certainly spell trouble for the new NWA Champion!

Sullivan and his crew inside of War Games should be something to see!

Starrcade is going to be a spectacle!!

[kevinmcfl]

Great lead up to Starrcade.  I thing you did an awesome job with the promos by Nikta and Sullivan.  Not sure if the NWA ever did an angle on where Wargames came from but it makes since that Sullivan would start it.

Reed vs Tully will we grea.  Looking forward to seeing if Baby Dolll and the loaded purse can take down the champ.

[GeneJackson95]

Great lead in for Starrcade!

Looking forward to seeing who answers Nikita's challenge!

Wow! A Wargames at Starrcade, that should be something to see, especially considering who is involved.

Tully vs. Reed for the World title will make for a huge main event!

[Den Scorpio]

LOVING this string of shows! Starrcade feels like it's going to be Must Watch TV!

I'm still reeling a bit from Reed winning the gold! But I like the direction. Butch vs. Tully is going to be a different yet intriguing Starrcade main event.

War Games? Yes please. Much less at the biggest show of the year? I'll be front row.

You're really smokin' with this. Enjoying the ride.

[spaldoni]

Did Mick Foley pull off a win? Yes he did. I will say, he certainly paid his dues this year. 

Powers of Pain get back on the winning track.

Look at that, Brutha's beat the Hangman at their own game. I love this feud. 

Kamala has been a fun monster attraction. 

I'm sure the Pretty Boy and Electrifying One gave the fans a solid work rate match. I've always been a sucker for mid card match ups. 

I know Wahoo wont let Kabuki slide on his interference. 

That was one hard hitting main event. Only Nikita would want to fight a man with a chair. I would pay top dollar to see Savage and Nikita go at it one on one.

MACW TV 11/19/1986

On Commentary:Bob Caudle & Tony Schiavone 

Ring Announcer:David Crockett 

Airing on WTBS Channel 17 at 8pm from the WTBS studio in Atlanta GA 

(We see footage from last weeks show in Charlotte focusing on Tully Blanchard defeating Randy Savage in a 2-out-of-3 falls match to earn the right to challenge Butch Reed for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade. We then see the opening montage set to "The Hit" by Richard Myhill before going to Caudle & Schiavone in the booth)

BC:Wrestling fans welcome to another episode of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, professional wrestling's most exciting hour sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance. I'm Bob Caudle alongside Tony Schiavone and Tony we're just 6 days away from the NWA'S Thanksgiving extravaganza, Starrcade said what a phenomenal night of wrestling its shaping up to be. 

TS: It certainly is Bob. Fans as you saw in the opening footage Mid-Atlantic's own Tully Blanchard will challenge "Hacksaw" Butch Reed for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The Minnesota Wrecking Crew will defend the NWA World Tag Team Titles in a 3 way elimination match against a team from both Continental Championship Wrestling & Mid-South Wrestling. We can report that CCW will be represented in this match by the team of Mr Olympia & the Junkyard Dog. Mid-South is still finalizing their team. We can also announce for the first time that Eric Embry will defend the NWA World Jr Heavyweight Championship against Continental's Brad Armstrong. And I'm sure everyone remembers the 2 monumental challenges issued last week on this broadcast, First NWA United States Champion Nikita Koloff threw out a open challenge for anyman in the NWA to come to the Omni to challenge for that championship & this is the big one folks, Kevin Sullivan & The Spectral Hand look to take out all their enemies at once and they plan to do it in Wargames! We'll have a detailed breakdown for the rules of Wargames later this broadcast.

BC: Indeed wrestling fans Starrcade is shaping up to be a absolutely unforgettable night of wrestling but we've got a incredible night of action for you right here tonight! Let's send it to the ring for our opening match.

The debuting Earthquake Ferris defeats Ulrick Hughes with a big splash.

Commercial-Bob Caudle runs down the MACW House Shows for the coming week.

(VTR- we see The Four Horsemen,including Dillon & Baby Doll, seated in the lounging area of a local country club. Flair with the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder speaks first. Says tomorrow night in Norfolk it's him & Harley Race for what he vows will be the LAST time. He'll always respect what Race has done for this business but it's time he was forced to get it through his thick skull that his time at the top is truly over, it's the Horsemen era now & for the foreseeable future. Says tomorrow night in Norfolk he's gonna "put that worn down old warhorse out to pasture once & for all". The Andersons are next & Ole is furious about having to defend against 2 teams at once. Says such "cheap gimmicks" are beneath the dignity of the titles & especially the dignity of the Horsemen. Arn fully agrees but makes clear they aren't actually worried. Says the reason Mid-South hasn't declared a team yet is because nobody in the territory wants to face them. He's particularly dismissive of CCW'S pairing of "Special Olympia & the Scrapyard mongrol" who've been a team for all of 10 minutes. Tully finishes for the group saying whatever divine intervention carried Reed to victory at Halloween Havoc won't be enough to save him this time. Says he's looking forward to ending Reed's 5 minutes of fame & putting the 10 pounds of gold around the waist of someone worthy of it. The group laughs while all holding up 4 fingers as the video fades to black)

The Hangmen defeat Cruel Connection after a "Bionic Elbow"/running elbowdrop combo to Cruel Connection #2 

Commercial for Halloween Havoc 86 coming to NWA Home Video.

(Bob Caudle runs down the rules of Wargames. 2 rings will be surrounded by a cage. 2 men will face off for 5 minutes after which teams will take turns sending in a new man every 2 minutes. Once all 10 men are in the cage we enter the "match beyond" which can only be won by submission or surrender. Caudle says he can vividly remember the only other Wargames in MACW history which was won by the Four Horsemen & he's certain this will be equally as memorable)

Kevin Sullivan defeats Mike "Action" Jackson with the "Devil Stomp".

Commercial+Promo for Starrcade 

(VTR- Eric Embry is standing in front of a NWA banner with the Jr Heavyweight title over his shoulder. Says he's been defending this belt with honor since July but has yet to receive the respect due a champion. He's had to deal with jealous fans calling him names like "crybaby" & "cheater". He's barely promoted by any of the territories. All because none of the handpicked favorites can beat him. Well everyone had better get used to it because he's not losing this belt to ANYONE let alone some "no talent daddy's boy". Says when he sends "Baby Boy Brad" home crying maybe he'll FINALLY start getting the respect he deserves. VTR ends)

[spaldoni]

Earthquake Ferris literally makes a splash in his debut. 

Once again, the Horsemen are oozing confidence. I'm looking forward to Tully vs. Reed at Starrcade. It really is an intriguing match. 

War Games is going to be off the charts! This feud has been red hot and the blow off is going to be crazy.

Will Embry finally get the respect he deserves? IDK, he's in for a big challenge from Brad Armstrong. 

Mr. Wrestling 2 gets a nice TV win. 

Solid main event as those dirty Assassins take down Hart's Afire. 

Onto Norfolk.

The battle of the masked teams ends in a draw. Gotta book a rematch! 

First Vachon and now Stevens. Kamala is running over the old tough vets. 

Link's behavior always amuses me.

Kabuki gets his team the War Games advantage thanks to Link and the dreaded mist. Wahoo will get another chance at Starrcade. 

Commonwealth get through the Rockers but a huge unification match awaits with the Renegade Warriors. 

WOW! Didn't see that coming! Harley Race defeats Ric Flair for the MACW title!!!! Harley might be getting up there but no doubt he can still deliver. Once again, Harley's the man! I wonder how Flair will respond to this? 

Bring on Starrcade baby! 

 

 

 

 

[Blehschmidt]

Wow!! Didn't see Race taking the belt from Flair!

Starrcade just got even more interesting!!

 

[Autistic Dragon]

Ok guys this is embarrassing but I just realized a title unification match doesn't work for Starrcade since The Youngbloods are already booked for Wargames. So If we can all agree to forget that I promoted it on today's show I promise you'll like it's replacement for Starrcade (also you're definitely getting The Youngbloods vs The Commonwealth eventually)

[kevinmcfl]

Nice leadup to Starrcade!  Big win for Harley Race.  Can't wait to see what is next here.  Also, really looking forward to seeing your Wargames match!

[GeneJackson95]

Strong lead in for Starrcade!

The Commonwealth manage to retain against the Midnight Rockers!

Looks like you've gotten everyone's attention with Harley's victory over Flair for the Mid Atlantic title, it really sets the tone that anything can happen and makes the show appointment television each week, nice job!
