The Smoking Gunns Debut

[ErictheDragon]

I don't know if heavy metal was big in Texas back in 91 but Van Hammer seems to be winning people over.

I'll say this for Angel, I genuinely believe he isn't scared of Abby....which you could definitely argue is dumb but it's also commendable.

The New Breed is ruling the roost in the tag division.

Good idea keeping the Zeus/Haystacks dialogue short and sweet.

Bedlam and Kazmeir are gonna tear each other apart.

Eerie scene as Vampire Warrior christens the Lords of Darkness.

GWF seems like the perfect place for a couple of cowboys like the Smoking Gunns.

Pourteau puts the entire division on notice that he's not ducking any challengers.

Morgan is sick and tired of the Tenryu hype.

Johnny B Badd lights up the room like only he can.

Probably not, but I was a huge fan of Heavy Metal Van Hammer when I was a kid. San Antonio has no choice but to feel how I did back in the day. lol That is what I love about these games.

Never forget the appearance of Russian hard rock group Gorky Park with Kerry Von Erich, or the fact that Dazed And Confused was set in Texas. I have no doubt that hard rock and heavy metal were as popular in Texas as it was anywhere else. Given the looks of a lot of the wrestlers in the Texas feds (The Von Erichs, the Simpsons, etc.) , I am sure Van Hammer could have gotten over. 

[LastStopTour]

I remember heavy metal/hard rock music in Texas at this time, so the gimmick would get over.

I ask a question ... Tell me you've never been to San Antonio without telling me you've never been to San Antonio? The answer ... The Sub Zero poster. Nice piece of artwork, but that made me laugh when I saw it.

Yeah, I only did it for a winter themed episode of MLW. There really wasn’t much thought put into it beyond the fact that it was winter. I’ll be more thoughtful about that in the future. 

[LastStopTour]

Don't get me wrong, it is a great piece of artwork - if you created it from scratch, used AI or pilfered it from some place. Just know that San Antonio IS NOT a cold weather place ... unless it was used to promote Mortal Combat or something.

[spaldoni]

Van Hammer makes a rock'n debut. I'm positive this gimmick would get over in a territory like this. 

After that promo, I would pay to see Angel go at it with Abby. 

Oh yea an appearance by the MOD Squad! Right call having New Breed go over, but still cool seeing the MOD Squad 

Very creative split screen promos from Zeus and Haystacks. Talk about a collision! 

Another anticipated big man brawl between Kaz and Bedlam. Great heated segment 

The Lords of Darkness have been born. 

The Smoking Gunns are riding into town 

Pourteau is looking and feeling the part. An open challenge is always a gutsy move 

Morgan's pissed but I'm not sure he knows what he's dealing with 

Johnny B Badd ends the show on a high charismatic note 

Love the PPV poster. Pretty damn cool.

GWF Presents Sub Zero
02/04/1991


GWF Heavyweight Championship
Tenryu(c) vs Rip Morgan
{A hard-hitting match in the Main Event. Tenryu pushes Rip Morgan to the depths that he isn't used to being in. This match goes about 18 minutes of solid action, but it's not the prettiest match. Tenryu does what he can, but after about 12 minutes, Rip is just gassed. Tenryu finally finishes off Rip with a POWERBOMB! Tenryu retains the title, but as he is celebrating, out of the curtain comes BRUISER BEDLAM! He is held back by security as Tenryu puts the GWF Title on the ground and tells him to bring it on!

Singles Match
Zeus vs Giant Haystacks
{This match is bowling shoe ugly. No doubt about that. These monsters put on probably the ugliest match you will ever see, but what they lack in skill, they make up for by beating each other up. They strike with furious intent, but the match is just....well....not good....Zeus finally finishes this match off with three massive clotheslines that take Haystacks off his feet and then a leg drop for a three count! Zeus celebrates as the crowd doesn't care!}

No DQ
Angel of Death vs Abdullah the Butcher
{Angel of Death lives up to the name as he and The Butcher just beat the crap out of each other. The fans, unlike the Haystacks match, eat this one up! They love the fight, the blood, this match is just everything that they wanted. The Butcher is in rare form tonight as he put on his working boots and actually sold a little bit. Death uses a steel chair to fend off Abdullah, but in the end, the fans want one thing, and they get it. THE FORK! Abdullah grabs the fork and starts stabbing Death in the arm, and in the head before finally Death hits the mat an Abdullah drops an Elbow Drop and picks up the victory! Death is helped to the back, a bloody mess, and Abdullah has the crowd in a frenzy as he starts stabbing a buckle!!!}

GWF Light Heavyweight Championship
Alex Pourteau(c) vs Marcus Alexander Bagwell
{The fans don't know what to think of this rookie Bagwell, who is a good-looking man and in tremendous shape. The ladies are hootin' and hollerin' as Alex doesn't look impressed by this rookie and doesn't take him seriously. This proves costly, though, as the young Bagwell might be a rookie and might be green, but this man is the real deal. The ladies are going wild as Bagwell is showing tremendous skill and athleticism. Alex is actually being outworked in this match, and it shows. Bagwell controls the early parts of the match, but after a few moments, is when that changes, and Alex uses his veteran instinct to take back over the match. This match is going to full time limit as we have 3 minutes left and both men are still not able to keep the other down. We get down to less than a minute. Bagwell is able to drop Alex with a dropkick. Alex is dazed as Bagwell leaps off the top rope for a Sunset Flip, but Alex, though, can counter into a ROLL UP! 1....2...3!!! Alex retains the title and escapes up the ramp as Bagwell knows he was moments away and smashes the mat in anger. Alex is breathing heavy but has a smile as he retains!

Singles Match
Bruiser Bedlam vs Bill Kazmaier
{Let's face it Bill isn't a great worker, but he isn't going to back down from Bruiser. A solid match, honestly. Bill holds his own and uses his power to control the mayhem that is this brawler Bruiser, but in the end, it just wasn't meant to be. Bill grabs Bruiser in a BEARHUG, but Bruiser rakes the eyes and then finishes off Bill with a massive body blow followed by a SPLASH FROM THE TOP! 1...2...3!!! Bruiser wins! 

The Smoking Gunns Debut
{Billy and Bart make their Texas debut, and these fans are loving them some Smoking Gunns! They face off against 2 enhancement talents that aren't even worth knowing their names. Billy and Bart work stiff and they work excellently as a tag team. You can tell early that Billy is the worker of the group as he looks fantastic and Bart is just a tough son of a gun...pun intended...Bart knocks out one of these poor saps with a NASTY LEFT HOOK! The fans are going wild as Billy grabs a lasso and actually HOG TIES the other scrub as Bart makes the cover on the jabroni that he knocked out! The Smokin' Gunns are here in the GWF, and they have the crowd rocking! As they are celebrating, though, here comes The New Breed, and they walk up to The Gunns, and we have a stare down between these two teams! The fans want a fight, but The New Breed laugh before heading back up the ramp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ErictheDragon]

The Gunns hit the bulls eye in their debut but run afoul of the New Breed.

Bagwell shines in defeat.

Angel finds out that Abby earned his reputation the hard way.

Zeus probably got the biggest pop of his career when he finally ended that match with Haystacks.

Big night for Bedlam. He puts down big Bill and positions himself as the next challenger for Tenryu.

Great continued use of the free agent list.  Working with WCW is a great move under your current situation.  I would caution you that many of the wrestlers you are using might not be ready for the limelight as they are still really green.  People like Rip Morgan, Tenryu and Angel of Death can get some pretty good heat as they are pretty good in the ring for an upstart company like yours but people are rookies and would still be learning the ropes.

Please don't take this as a negative.  I am enjoying what you are doing and we all have rushed a wrestler or two or gone the other way and kept them in the main event way past their prime.
