spaldoni Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 NWA heads into 87 with one of the most intriguing storylines...The 4 Horsemen! Can't wait to find out which title Flair will go for. The Koloff's bringing in somebody only means trouble. Paul Jones has made a huge impact and it looks like he's going all out this year. Good update on the comings and goings. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Hansen and Duggan do here. Also looking forward to watching the Nasty Boys develop. I'll be tuning in to watch Crockett's big announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Nice job getting us all ready for 1987. How did you like writing the magazine style show? I find it fun as I can focus on the angles instead of all the little stuff that go into a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den Scorpio Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I think the magazine piece is great. Really reels things in and ties major goings-on in a nice bow. Great job with it. The Flair/gold situation has so many potential layers to it. The magazine piece encapsulate some pretty rich storytelling there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 From the Memorial Auditorium in Spartanburg SC it's.... NWA POWER HOUR! Previously Recorded/Airing 1/7/87 On Commentary: Bob Caudle & Tony Schiavone Ring Announcer: David Crockett (The NWA opening video slams on screen with quick clips of the top stars set to "Rock Warrior" by The Rods. We end on a shot of NWA World Heavyweight Champion Tully Blanchard before cutting to Caudle & Schiavone at ringside) BC: Happy new year wrestling fans and welcome to the first NWA Power Hour of 1987! I'm Bob Caudle alongside Tony Schiavone and Tony we're kicking the new year off with a bang! TS: We certainly are Bob. Fans the new year is often associated with new beginnings and that's what you'll see tonight as every match on tonights broadcast will feature at least one wrestler making his NWA debut. On top of all that, the president of the NWA Mr Jim Crockett Jr will have an announcement later this broadcast that we've been told could very well alter the landscape of the NWA. BC: Indeed a great night in store for everyone. Now let's send it to the ring for our opening contest. Match #1 The debuting "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray defeats Rocky King with a moonsault. After the match Doug Somers approached Del Ray and the two left together, talking the whole time. Commercial-Bob Caudle runs down the NWA house shows for the coming week. (VTR- We see NWA president Jim Crockett Jr sitting behind a desk in a tastefully decorated office. He says following the commercial & critical success of "Christmas Chaos" the NWA will be looking to produce more Holiday centered events in the new year. As such, on Monday February 14th the NWA will present "St Valentines Day Massacre" live on the superstation! This will be a special 3 hour extravaganza based around a one night, eight team tournament where the winners will be awarded the newly reactivated NWA World Six Man Tag Team Titles! The episode of NWA Power Hour scheduled to take place on February 11th will not take place to allow the competitors to focus entirely on the big event. Details surrounding the event will be made public in the coming weeks. He finishes by saying that he expects "St Valentines Day Massacre" to be the first phase of a truly gamechanging year for the NWA as it looks to establish itself as America's premier wrestling organization in 1987. -End VTR) (Caudle & Schiavone hype the big announcement and speculate on the teams that could be included in the tournament) Match #2 Spartanburg Vice (Jerry Bryant & "Big" Lou Winston) defeat the debuting duo of Mitch Snow & Dusty Wolfe with the "Spartanburg Special" on Snow. (A quick video of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan plays set to "Remember The Heroes" By Sammy Hager. We see clips of his high impact style with particular focus on his three point stance clothesline all in front of adoring crowds) (Caudle & Schiavone hype the arrival of Duggan who they reveal will be in next weeks main event!) Match #3 "Wild" Bill Irwin defeats Punisher with a Bycicle kick. Commercial (A video plays of a muscular man who not only tosses his opponents around with ease as one might expect, but also display some truly jaw dropping athleticism. The video ends on a graphic reading "Mega Man....coming soon") Match #4 "Chief" Wahoo McDaniel defeats the debuting "Tough" Tony Falk with a Tomahawk Chop. Commercial (A video plays showing Stan Hansen absolutely brutalising opponents. Of course the highlight of the video is a montage of him hitting his infamous Lariat with the unlucky recipient often crumbling to the mat) (Caudle & Schiavone discuss the pending arrival of Hansen, they agree it doesn't bode well for ANYONE! Switching gears, they inform the fans that Harts Afire were originally scheduled for tonight's main event but due to a sudden family emergency, they had to return to Calgary. So instead, tonight's main event will feature TWO debuting tag teams!) Main event The Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) defeat The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs & Jerry Saggs) when referee Randy Anderson was piefaced by a annoyed Saggs as Anderson was trying to tell him to leave the ring after a tag. The two teams continued to brawl and the show ends with them being pulled apart by security. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 The Gigolo debuts and Sommers shows interest. I can see these guys working together. Looking forward to St. Valentine's Day Massacre. You know there's going to be a ton of action with all those 6 man matches. In Spartanburg, the Vice has got to go over. I like the hype videos of Duggan and Hansen. That's something missing in today's world. Mega Man is coming! Chief Wahoo shows Faulk what tough is all about. Nice debut match for both the Nasty Boys and Southern Boys. Fun match which I'm sure will lead to more. Good couple of house shows. I'm a big fan of monikers and you've got some good ones. I think a moniker adds a lot to the wrestler's character. British Magician is off to a good TV title reign. Looks like Uncle Ivan's comrade has arrived. Fun 6 man tag with the Indians taking out the Commonwealth. Nice prelude to the upcoming tournament. After an impressive win streak, Gaylord is rewarded with a world title shot. Tully's experience wins this one. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I really appreciate the work you've done with the NWA. It is awesome to see how you're presenting the house shows and such. The other thing I like here is your spotlighting of the up and coming talent. You've got the big names but also some really fun personalities about to climb the ranks!

kevinmcfl Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Great week in the NWA as we continue to be introduced to all of the new talent. I think adding a 6 man title is a good way to go as you get to showcase more of your talent as well as making another match of your cards seem more important as a belt will be on the line.

kevinmcfl Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 What I enjoy most about your House Shows is how realistic they are. They have the right amount of matches and the right amount of wrestlers with more singles matches then tag matches. These cards could make so serious money for the NWA which is really the job of a business. Many of us because of our bloated rosters give the fans what they would love to see but our cards might not be financially best for our territory. Also, nice job running 2 separate cards which the Mid Atlantic did back in the day. As for the cards.... I would love to have seen Tully vs Savage... just the pomp and circumstance of the entrance would be worth the price of admission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Great way to debut Baron. Paul Jones always has a back up plan. Big win for the Southern Boys but man do they pay the price as Big Daddy Ritter goes back to his heel ways and decimates them. Huge win for Borne as his path of destruction continues. Speaking of huge wins, the Renegade Warriors pull one over on the Koloff's. However, like the Southern Boys, they suffer a beating from an unknown Russian comrade. Damn! The fans got their money's worth with that Tully/Savage 45 minute draw. To Greenville, Another exciting debut as Yamada excites the crowd. Kamala gets the win in the battle of the big boys. Outlaws might get a title shot soon. I know Wright and Fleming put on a wrestling clinic. Rematch! Andersons end the night by retaining over Spartanburg Vice. I will be tuning in to find out what happened between Kabuki and Spivey. Enjoyed these house shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted January 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 From the Township Auditorium in Columbia SC it's..... NWA POWER HOUR! (In place of the usual opening video we see a disclaimer saying that "the following video contains violent imagery that may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised". We then cut to what appears to be security footage from a parking lot. Dan Spivey is seen putting his bags in the trunk of a car. Just as he's about to close it, The Great Kabuki runs in from offscreen and nails Spivey with an axehandle before repeatedly slamming the trunk down on top of Spivey. Eventually Spivey slumps to the ground where Kabuki leans him against the car and blasts him with a series of kicks to the chest. A pair of passersby see the assault and move to intervene but Kabuki sees them coming and sprays the first with the "Asian mist". When the second goes to check on his friend, Kabuki drills him with the Thrust kick. By the time Kabuki is able to return to Spivey he has crawled to the driver's side and seems to be trying to enter the car. Kabuki stops him however and after a few qui shots, pulls Spivey back a couple paces & RAMS HIS HEAD THROUGH THE WINDOW! As Spivey collapses to the floor another larger group arrive, finally forcing Kabuki to retreat. We then cut to a somber Caudle & Schiavone at ringside) BC: Wrestling fans welcome to another episode of NWA Power Hour, professional wrestling's most exciting hour. I'm Bob Caudle alongside Tony Schiavone and as you've just seen Dan Spivey was the victim of a absolutely heinous assault by The Great Kabuki. TS: Heinous is right Bob. We can report that Spivey suffered damage to his ribs and spine as well as severe lacerations in the face. Spivey is expected to be out of action for a number of months. We here at the NWA wish him a full & speedy recovery. We can also (Schiavone is cut off by thunderous boos from the crowd as Paul Jones & Baron Von Raschke make their way to ringside) PJ: Schiavone nobody cares about what happened to that bleach blonde buffoon. Why don't you tell everyone about the abuse of power committed against my man Kabuki. TS: I was just getting to that actually. Fans as a result of his disgusting actions Kabuki was suspended for a whole year (huge pop) PJ: A whole year! And for what? Because he played to rough with poor widdle Spivey? What a joke! You'd think a guy who walks around calling himself "Dangerous" would know how to handle himself. Well Kabuki & I discussed it and we agreed we weren't going to give the corrupt officials here in the NWA the satisfaction of denying him the opportunity to work for a living which is why we arranged for his contract to be sold to a company out in Chicago. Thankfully like all great leaders i ALWAYS have a contingency plan in place and you're looking at him. That's right folks your eyes do not deceive you that is Baron Von Raschke, my former World Tag Team Title partner, a man I know I can trust to do whatever the Army needs him to do to secure victory. Baron, I believe a demonstration is in order! (The Baron gives a sharp nod, removes his robe and enters the ring) Match #1 Baron Von Raschke w/"Number One" Paul Jones defeats The Intern with the Claw. Commercial-Bob Caudle runs down the coming NWA house shows for the coming week. Match #2 El Santo Negro defeats Dusty Wolfe with a Missle Dropkick. (Another hype video of Stan Hansen plays putting emphasis on his stiff strikes and aggressive nature. The video ends with a quick montage of Hansen hitting his infamous Lariat before closing on a graphic reading "Stan Hansen.... coming soon") (Caudle & Schiavone hype the news from previous week regarding the announcement of "St Valentines Day Massacre" and the tournament to crown new NWA World Six Man Tag Team Champions. They say that a rush had begun among the roster to assemble the best 3 man teams possible, including in some cases groups that already have 3 members launching a recruitment drive. Case in point, the next bout features Doug Somers teaming with the newest member of Radiance) Match #3 Radiance (Doug Somers & Jimmy Del Ray) defeat The Gladiators (1&2) with a double flapjack to Gladiator #1. Commercial break (We see clips from recent NWA house shows of The Koloffs being joined by a bald muscular man who help them win matches & beatdown various talent. We then cut to Ivan & the mystery man joining Schiavone at ringside) TS: Welcome back fans and as you can see The Koloffs have a new partner. Ivan what can you tell us about this man? IK: First of all Tony Schiavone Ivan wishes to make something clear. We Koloffs try to help our comrade Ustinov reach his potential, try to show him how to bring glory to motherland like we do but he fail us at every turn! You watch footage and you see match after match it is Ustinov to takes pin costing us the match. Then at "Christmas Chaos" he make biggest mistake of his life when he cost Nikita United States of America Championship. We could take no more! And Kremlin agree with us, they take comrade Ustinov home for retraining and in his place they send newest weapon in arsenal of Mother Russia. Allow Ivan please of introducing...Vladimir Petrov! He has been placed under my tutelage and together we shall take NWA World Six Man Tag Team Titles back home Soviet Union! Comrade Petrov, show these pitiful Americans the power of Mother Russia! VP: Da Comrade Ivan! (Petrov enters the ring) Match #4 "The Russian Assassin" Vladimir Petrov defeats George South with a "Russian Bearhug" which Ivan on commentary insists is superior to the American bearhug, though he doesn't really explain how. Commercial break (Another hype video for the muscular man plays putting even greater emphasis on his high flying abilities intercut with fans cheering in amazement. The video ends on a still shot of him posing with the caption "Megaman is coming") (Caudle & Schiavone hype the flux of new talent coming to the NWA including our main event featuring the arrival of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan!) Main event "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan defeats "Dandy" Don Bass with a Three Point Stance Clothesline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Really fun opening with some big consequences! Spivey out for months and Kabuki suspended for a year!

spaldoni Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I always loved parking lot angles. They seemed so real and brought heat. This one proves my point. Kabuki gives Spivey (and 2 bystanders) a brutal beating. Excellent way to explain both men's departure. Jones has a pretty good contingency plan with Baron. El Santo gets a chance to shine on TV. Looking forward to the 6 man tournament. I used 6 man titles a couple years ago and had a lot of fun with it. Radiance uses one of my favorite tag move finishers, the double flapjack baby! Jones isn't the only one with a back up plan. Uncle Ivan brings in Petrov. I laughed when Ivan said the Russian bearhug is superior to America's but didn't explain how. LOL, nice little detail. A variety of fresh faces coming in. The devastating Stan Hansen, The exciting Mega Man. And tonight, Hacksaw Duggan debuts with a powerful win. Another solid week for the NWA!

spaldoni Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 The NWA continues its run of fun house shows. The Kansas Jayhawks are together again! Just seems right. Kamala takes out Gaylord. If only Gaylord could've nailed Kamala with his spere. Renegade Warriors get the DQ win over the Outlaws and retain the US titles. Road Warrior Animal wins the battle royal and receives a golden opportunity. Irwin helps the Jayhawks even the odds but, in the end, Ritter pulls it out for his team. This could be the start of another dominating heel run for Ritter. Foley adds Dundee to the Commonwealth! Awesome seeing Dundee reunite with his old buddy Barnes. When Arn hits the spinebuster, its over! Tully takes the cheap way out over Animal. I bet Bassarab and Roma gave the fans an exciting match. Ferris gets a big win over Conway. Ferris is doing pretty good. Fleming once again takes Wright to the limit. They might need a no time limit match next time. I like the importance put on the TV title. Savage and Kamala gave the fans their money's worth. Red Tide are in sync. Wahoo chops his way to victory over Baron. Even though they used a roll of quarters, that's still a big win for the outlaws. I'm sure the Road Warriors will want a rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I like the loops you're putting together. Some realistic results in what would be a helluva territory around this time. My big MVPs would be Savage and Kamala. This is a feud I could see being some big money. It is almost the George Steele v Savage feud except it would make sense and Kamala is a legit threat. Oh yeah... and the Road Warriors rule the world of wrestling... without question...who can stop em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
