Scarlet-Left Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Got a lot to catch up on here. Thrilled to see Buddy Landel getting time to shine on top! I love the visual of Abdullah the Butcher and Kevin Sullivan giving Sean Money a good scare. Super Strong Machine should put on a great show! Tom Prichard versus Harley Race is an amazing TV main event. I'm looking forward to Bash at the Beach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistic Dragon Posted August 13 Author Report Share Posted August 13 The National Wrestling Alliance proudly presents Bash at the Beach 1989. Trask Coliseum, Wilmington NC August 10 1989 Airing live on the USA Network. "Leaping" Lanny Poffo defeats "Sweet Music Man" Billy Joe Travis with the Moonsault. NWA United States Tag Team Titles. The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne)(c) defeat The Eliminators (Perry Saturn & John Kronus) w/"Number One" Paul Jones by DQ. It looked like The Eliminators had the match won when Saturn ko'd Davis with one of the title belts behind the ref's back. Ref turns around and starts counting but sees the title still in the ring and, putting two and two together, calls for the bell. Special Challenge Match. Super Strong Machine defeats Abdullah the Butcher after three consecutive "Machine" lariats managed to put the "Mad Man from the Sudan" down. (By virtue of his victory, SSM now faces Kevin Sullivan) Super Strong Machine vs Kevin Sullivan ends in a no contest when the Master Blasters ran down to bail out Sullivan. A group beat down until the Zero Fighters ran down with chairs and ran the heels off. NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title. "Wrestling Royalty" Brian Christopher (c) w/"The Perfect 10" Baby Doll defeats Too Cold Scorpio after interference from Lanny Poffo. NWA United States Title. "Golden Warrior" Kevin Von Erich defeats "Tennessee Stud" Robert Fuller (c) w/"The Mastermind" Ron Fuller when Fuller submitted to the Von Erich claw. Ron clearly wanted to break the hold but remembering the stipulation he held himself back. NEW CHAMPION!!! 1989 Starrcade Series Line Up. Block A. BIg John Studd Bob Orton Jr Dynamite Kid The Super Destroyer Tom Prichard Wahoo McDaniel Block B Harley Race Ivan Koloff Jimmy Valiant King Kong Bundy Manny Fernandez Ron Garvin Main event.

rainmakerrtv Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Super big win by Super Strong Machine over Abby Stabby. Would have to consider that an upset. Glad to see Kevin Von Erich take the gold. Tom Prichard proves to make the difference in getting the win over the Horsemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Bash at the Beach! Let's do this! Poffo opening up the show with a moonsault is a great way to get things going. In a rare twist, the heels are caught and the Nightmares retain. It took a lot, but SSM puts Abby down and gets his match with Sullivan. All hell breaks loose as this gem of a feud continues. Oh man, 2 Cold will be coming after Poffo. Another fun feud here. Kevin wins the gold with the claw! It's great seeing Kevin get a push here. The Starrcade Series is one of my favorite events of the year. Can't wait! The Doctor is called and he proves to be the deciding factor in the big main event. I have a feeling the Horsemen are heading for a break up or a reboot. Good story going on here. Your big events always deliver!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Love the visual of Super Strong Machine hitting Abdullah the Butcher with lariat after lariat after lariat until he went down! Really happy that Kerry Von Erich won here! great way to send the fans home happy with the Horsemen screwing up their positioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff5819 Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 A strong showing from the NWA. Starting to set the scene for Starrcade. Kevin getting the big win was a nice touch. A good old fashioned babyface win against the Horsemen. To solidify the good time feelings for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Good set of matches to kick off the series. Rain beat me to the punch. I also think this might be Prichard's time to shine. He's got some serious momentum going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowBlowPodcast Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Some upsets IMO in the first run should highlight some stellar matches in the second run. I think Ron Garvin is set to build himself back up as the man to beat in the NWA.

rainmakerrtv Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Hmmm, tension between Orton and Dillon? Can just imagine Garvin knocking out the Russian Bear. Manny may be Ragin', but that's not enough to withstand the Atlantic City Avalanche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Race proves he can win without JJ's help. Only a matter of time before Race gets fed up. Great finish by Garvin as he works his way to another shot at Budro. Both Bundy and Studd have to be considered favorites. Things will get interesting as the series progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted September 4 Report Share Posted September 4 Big win for Dynamite scores him some points. Prichard is on fire right now! Studd gets the best of Orton in a fun heel battle. Next week's Garvin vs. Race match will be the definition of hard hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaldoni Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Manny picks up points by taking down his old foe. Bundy gets a decisive win over Valiant that sends strong message. I'm with Rain, never a good thing to be distracted when facing a man with a KO punch.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
