Championship Wrestling (West Virginia)

RVW's first promo doesn't disappoint.

Johnny Hotbody was the star of the show as he takes down the Crazee before joining the top heel group in the territory.

I could just hear all the boys down in the holler talking about all those pink guys on the rasslin last night and that weirdo looking for the bathroom.  Very entertaining!  Tasha seems to have the boys wrapped around her finger as they do what ever she asks.

Love your shows plenty happening in such a short show. Your proof that not every territory in the wars needs big names or long shows to produce a worth while show that keeps people tuning in each week to see what happens.

Show starts off with some RVW comedy. What's with this guy? LOL 

Hotbody gets the win and cuts a nice heel promo 

PnP/Morton/Williams tear the house down. I can imagine the studio fans going wild for this. Hotbody gets more heat and puts an end to the match. If Wild Dog gets involved, this feud is going to get crazy.

Championship Wrestling
December 28th, 1990
TV Taping - WOAY-TV, Channel 4 Studios
Oak Hill, West Virginia

Announcers: Chris Cruise
Referee: Bruno Laurer & Nate Whitlock



- Host Cruise welcomes everyone to Championship Wrestling hoping they all had a wonderful Christmas.

- Cruise is joined by Commissioner Tom Renesto Jr. who wants to talk about last week’s incident on television where the newest member of Pretty in Pink, Johnny Hotbody used a chair on Tony Williams and injured the young man who will be unable to wrestle the next two weeks … let’s run the tape …

x-x-x-x-x ROLL THE TAPE x-x-x-x-x

WAIT THAT’S JOHNNY HOTBODY … AND HE’S GOT A CHAIR! JOHNNY HOTBODY’S JOINED PRETTY IN PINK!

Hotbody slides into the ring and nails both Morton and Williams across the back at Tasha’s direction. Pink Assassin and Bodacious Pretty Boy hold down Williams as Hotbody drops the chair on him before leaping into the air and landing across it with a legdrop that leaves the young man writhing in pain.

HERE COMES THE COMMISSIONER! HERE COMES WILD DOG! HERE COMES SCOTTY SUMMERS!
x-x-x-x-x END THE TAPE x-x-x-x-x

- Renesto says that Pretty in Pink was Disqualified for the interference but we have a much bigger issue here with Mr. Hotbody going out of his way to injure another wrestler who will not be able to compete for at least the next 2 weeks. For that, Johnny Hotbody is being fined $100 for each week Tony Williams is unable to compete …

UH OH! HERE COMES TROUBLE!

- Tasha leads Pretty in Pink out to a chorus of boos. She complains about the Commissioner and all these lousy fans having it out for her and her perfect team of wrestlers. She runs down West Virginians for being jealous of “REAL MEN” and Renesto for being jealous of wrestlers actually going somewhere with their careers unlike him. Chris Cruise reminds everyone that Tom Renesto Jr. is a second generation wrestler from a VERY successful family. Tasha tells him to shut his mouth which brings on more booing. Renesto tells Tasha not to push him because he will start with suspensions next, if she forces his hand.

Chris Cruise throws it to a commercial break!

----- COMMERCIAL BREAK -----

- Don E. Allen versus Scotty Summers.
Summers continues with his winning streak over the new Allen who shows very little in the match.

- Following the win, Summers joins Cruise and talks about Pretty in Pink and tells Shane Morton, if he ever needs a hand against them, he’s there for Morton!

----- COMMERCIAL BREAK -----

- Back from commercial and the fans are excited as Cruise talks about Championship Wrestling and runs down the weekly house circuit and where to catch all the upcoming action. He also talks about Pretty in Pink who are in action today in a 6-man tag team match.

- 6-Man Tag Team Match: Pretty in Pink w/Tasha versus the Red Terror, The Ninja and Black Mask.
Our first 6-man match with the full PiP team in action. The fans, of course, boo them to high heaven, making them the most hated group in Championship Wrestling and perhaps, all of West Virginia.

Squash match as Pretty in Pink puts a beating on their opponents. Lots of double, even triple teaming from PiP with no pin attempts being made, preferring to continue the beating. Tasha taunts the fans as she circles the ring while also distracting the referee.

After enough of a beating, she directs her men to pin all three of their opponents and after being declared the winners, the toss the referee from the ring and start stomping their downed opponents.

Shane Morton hits the ring and goes on the attack!

HERE COMES THE COMMISSIONER! HERE COMES WILD DOG! HERE COMES SCOTTY SUMMERS!

Tasha pulls her troops from the ring as The Commissioner gets a microphone and announces next week … 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH! PRETTY IN PINK VERSUS THE TEAM OF SHANE MORTON, SCOTTY SUMMERS AND WILD DOG!

We have pandemonium in the ring as the fans cheer Shane Morton and Wild Dog shaking hands in the background as Chris Cruise signs off with a reminder to come back next week for more Championship Wrestling!

[ErictheDragon]

Championship Wrestling clearly knows where the money is because PIP was all over the show, from verbally jousting with the commissioner to winning the main event an finally brawling with the top faces of the territory.

[kevinmcfl]

Championship Wrestling from West Virginia seems like the perfect promotition to be led by a heel team and PIP is perfect.  I could just see the fans hatred growing by the week!  Great job.  Love the $100 fine... so realistic for the time and place!
