Florida sends Brady Boone to Continental

The arrival of Bad News should stir things up here in CCW for sure. Can't wait to see him interact with Landel, and personality conflicts with Fuller and Golden should be something! Adrian taking the Sleeper away from The Bullet is an interesting twist. I like that stipulation. On too TV.... Embry shows up making demands after "quitting" the NWA! Platt ruins his story, which should lead to some fun interactions with those two! Sawyers vs Rich's... I'm in! Who could Ron Fuller have? Probably himself! The Ballad of Dumbbell Dougie is sure to be a #1 hit!! Buddy Landel being the voice of reason in the Slick Stable is something to behold! Though, I can't say I would trust Bad News either!! Well, that was one hell of a Fiesta Garden! You had me thinking you hired Tug Taylor or Fred Ottman for a minute, cause I was like.... The Voyage Home? But it was The Wrath of Khan! That was funny shit. I was rooting for Wild Bill, but TT retains his death grip on the belt!! Goof stuff as always!!

Well, I'm gonna call it a night. See y'all for NXT 3.0

Leave it to modern WWE to fuck up the most basic aspect of War Games and have the babyfaces get the numbers advantage.

I like the way you are switching the titles around. Harley vs Tully should be a great main event. Paul Jones is putting together a great stable. I hope Borne finds a nice home here! Fuck Yeah on putting Bass and Bart back together!! Looking forward to seeing who else qualifies for the TV Title 4 way.

That is a stacked card that you've put together for the UWF's first solo supershow! Hate to see Reed lose another title so quickly, but Dibiase feels like a win here would cement his new character. The LLT 6 man may be the most interesting match on the card. Doc and Gordy have a lot of enemies, can they get rid of some, or will others help the Birds get rid of them? Rocky vs Jake for the new NA Title should be a fun fight. Old Man Watts finally gonna try and back up his lawman attitude with his fists. Feeling like Ladd may have some help in this one! Excited to see who that'll be!!

You just set up Lawler vs Wildfire and Bockwinkel vs Hennig on the same TV show.... Props to you Sir, it doesn't get a whole lot better than that! Iaukea might make Colon more interesting! R'n'R's vs the Japanese team would make for some fun matches. Dave Taylor and Johnny Smith is a great team. They'll definitely make waves here. AWA is looking good going into '87!!

(Taped on Wednesday December 1st, 1986 and airing Saturday December 4th) Airing on.... and other great stations across the Southeastern United States.... From the Tampa Sportatorium, this is.... Let's head down to ringside, with the voice of Professional Wrestling... Mr. Gordon Solie Gordon Solie: Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentleman and welcome to Championship Wrestling from Florida. I am Gordon Solie, and coming off of a big event last Sunday afternoon in Orlando, we have much to talk about here today, and we have quite an hour of action lined up for you. The new number one contender to the Florida Heavyweight Title Bob Backlund will be in action here today. We will see Kazaharu along with Skandor Akbar, and I'm certain Akbar will have something to say after the events of last Sunday afternoon. The Glamour Boys will be in action, and I know they have a lot on their minds. Texas Red will be here in our opening contest, and a little later we will see the return of one of Florida's all time favorites in Steve Keirn. Quite an hour indeed. Let's head down to the ring. =========================================================================================================== Match #1 -Texas Red defeated Rick Cohen with a Diving Elbow Drop.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, I am joined by your winner Texas Red. Now Red, last weekend saw what appears to be the end of the war between yourself and the duo of Matt Borne and Buzz Sawyer as you were the last man standing. As I understand it, Buzz Sawyer has left Florida for Alabama, and Matt Borne has not been heard of since he was removed from the building on a stretcher after you gave him that devastating Heart Punch. Can I get your thoughts on that situation, possibly get an update on The Spoiler, and ask what is next for you here in Florida? Texas Red: Gordon Solie. I need everyone watching, and everyone who was in attendance last weekend in Orlando to understand something. I didn't mean for that to happen. Gordon Solie: I don't understand. Texas Red: The Heart Punch Gordon. I didn't mean to do that. That's a move I was taught and used when I first broke into this business, and I was a different person. I thought it was fun to hurt people, and hurt them bad, to show how mean and tough I was. Don't get me wrong, I know professional wrestling is a tough business and sometimes people get hurt, but the Heart Punch is too dangerous, which is why I stopped using it. But this thing with Sawyer and Borne....it got... I don't know. Gordon Solie: I think it is safe to say that everyone watching and everyone that was there that night knows just how dangerous and how brutal both Buzz Sawyer and Matt Borne can be. Whatever happened in the heat of the moment can certainly be forgiven. A cheer goes up from the crowd Texas Red: I appreciate that Gordon. As for The Spoiler, he got a little banged up during that match last week but he'll be back in no time. Once he returns, now that we are rid of those two, we can get down to business and make a run for those Florida Tag Team Titles. Gordon Solie: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman. Texas Red! We'll be right back. The big man raises a fist into the air and heads for the back as the show goes to commercial. -Commercial Break- As we return from commercial we see that Gordon Solie has been joined by "General" Skandor Akbar Gordon Solie: Welcome back to Championship Wrestling. I've been joined by "General" Skand... Skandor Akbar: They can see who has joined you Solie! So you quiet down because I have something to say to Steve Regal! Regal! You may have pulled a fast one last weekend and gotten a victory over my Oriental Assassin, but I can absolutely assure you that it will never happen again! So on behalf of my Kazaharu, I am challenging you to a third match to find out just who the better man is! What do you have to say to that "Mr. Electricity!" Akbar heads toward the ring as the music of Kazaharu begins to play and the dangerous Japanese competitor heads to the ring. =========================================================================================================== Match #2 -Kazaharu w/Skandor Akbar beat Jeffrey Howard by submission with the Rolling Japanese Sleeper.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Kazaharu adds yet another victory to his impressive resume, and I for one hope that we in fact see that rubber match with Regal in the near future. Joining me momentarily will be the trio of Cocoa Samoa, Sivi Afi, and "Chief" Joe Lightfoot. This past weekend Lightfoot competed in a singles match against "El Jefe" Jose Estrada. At the conclusion of that contest, Estrada attempted to burn the eye of Joe Lightfoot with a cigar and would have succeeded if not for the interference of the South Pacific Islanders. Then later in the evening as the Islanders competed in a number one contenders match, Fidel and Ricky of The Cartel made their presence felt and cost the Islanders that contest. I'm certain these three men have much to say, so let's bring them on out here. The Tampa Sportatorium gives a good ovation as Cocoa, Sivi, and Lightfoot join Gordon on the podium. Gordon Solie: Gentleman, I just recapped the events of this past weekend for the viewers at home. I'm certain you have plenty to say, so by all means. Cocoa Samoa: Estrada! The three of us are done playing games withchu and your boys! You want to play with fire bruddah, then you gonna get burned! Joe Lightfoot: What Cocoa is trying to say is that if gang warfare is what you want, than it is what you'll have. Our tribe challenges the Cartel to meet us three on three at the upcoming event in Fort Lauderdale at the War Memorial. I can think of no better place for us to meet. Sivi Afi: Estrada. Fidel. Ricky. The three of you have brought The Islanders and The Chief together with your actions. Now our only actions are going to be to make you pay for the things you've done. We hope you are prepared. The three men all thank Gordon and head for the back as the show goes to break. -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #3 -The Glamour Boys (Steve Doll/Steve Simpson) defeated The Bounty Hunters (I/II) when Simpson pinned II after Glam, Slam, Thank You Ma'am.- =========================================================================================================== The Glamour Boys make their way over to Gordon Solie after the win. Both Doll and Simpson seem far more somber than normal. Gordon Solie: Gentleman, this past weekend, another chapter in the long running saga of The Glamour Boys versus The Highwaymen was written as you met in a Double Strap Match. This match came less than twenty four hours after they perpetrated a heinous sneak attack on you during this program last week. During that match, you Mr. Simpson were hung from the ring by that strap, while you Mr. Doll were hit with the Spike Piledriver and pinned. I don't say this to provoke you, but it would seem that more often than not, you come out of this ongoing conflict the worse for wear. Steve Simpson: You are absolutely correct Gordon. The Highwaymen have had our number more times than not. While we do hold victories over them, they have certainly achieved a far greater number of victories over us. They've proven time and time again that they are ruthless competitors who are willing to do whatever it takes to come out on top. They've jumped us from behind, hung us, hit us with chairs, nearly anything you can think of. Steve Doll: But you know something Gordon? We've still come back! Because we have something those two don't have, and that's heart. Some people might call us stupid, some people might say we are crazy. But the fact of the matter is, The Glamour Boys know deep down that we are one of the best tag teams in the professional wrestling business, and we aren't going to let two no good bastards like Duncum and Hickerson kill our spirit! Steve Simpson: That's right, we're not! So you can call us stupid! You can call us crazy! BUT... HIGHWAYMEN.... WE WANT YOU ONE LAST TIME.... Steve Doll: and we don't want just another match. We want to end this thing! One way or another, it needs to be over. SO WE WANT IT IN THE CAGE!! Gordon Solie: There you have it Ladies and.. Steve Simpson: That's not all Gordon. Steve Doll: When we say we want to end this thing, we mean it. One last match for all the marbles. Steve Simpson: Glamour Boys versus The Highwaymen inside a Steel Cage..... LOSING TEAM SPLITS UP PERMANENTLY!! Steve Doll: What do you say Duncum? Hickerson? You got the guts Highwaymen? Doll and Simpson look pissed off as they head to the back, and Gordon gives an "Oh My" look at the camera as we head to another break. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Quite a bombshell that was dropped just before the break Ladies and Gentleman. The Glamour Boys have challenged The Highwaymen to a Cage match in which the losing team will no longer be able to team together. High stakes for certain, and we will have to see if The Highwaymen will take them up on that offer. If they do, we can assume that will take place at our next event coming up on the 19th of December at the War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale. That is our final scheduled event before the CWF takes a short break for the holiday season, so you can be sure that it will be a loaded card. Already set for that afternoon we have.. Hercules Hernandez vs Bob Backlund - Florida Heavyweight Championship Good & Plenty vs The Fabulous Blondes - Florida Tag Team Titles Just Signed: The Cartel vs "Chief" Joe Lightfoot & The South Pacific Islanders - 6 Man Tag Those three matches alone are certain to be worth the price of admission, but I can assure you that many more will be signed before the 19th. Again, that is at the War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday the 19th with a 4pm bell time. Tickets will be on sale at the box office and usual outlets this Monday. Now let's head down to the ring for the Florida return of one Steve Keirn! =========================================================================================================== Match #4 -Steve Keirn beat Jack Spade after a Belly to Back Suplex.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I'm here with your winner Steve Keirn! Steve, welcome back to Florida. Steve Keirn: Thank You Gordon. You know, I've been gone a long time, touring all around this world and wrestling everybody who is anybody in this sport. But now I've come back home to Florida, and I want these people to know it's great to be back! Of all the places I've been the Florida fans are still the best, and the Florida girls are still the prettiest! Gordon Solie: Ha Ha! Indeed they are! Can I ask what's on your agenda now that you are back? Steve Keirn: Now that I'm back here in the CWF, you know I want to throw my name in the hat for a shot at that Florida Heavyweight Title. I've held those Tag Team Titles a whole lot of times, but I only ever managed to hold the Heavyweight Title once and I'd sure like another chance at it. Gordon Solie: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman. Steve Keirn is back in Florida and looking for the gold. We'll be right back with the next challenger for the Florida Heavyweight Title, Bob Backlund. Don't go anywhere. -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #5 -Bob Backlund defeated Dave Kent by submission with the Cross Face Chicken Wing.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I am joined by your winner, Bob Backlund. Now Bob, last weekend you defeated Lanny Poffo in a number one contenders match, and you will now challenge Hercules Hernandez for the Florida Heavyweight Title at our upcoming event in Fort Lauderdale. I would like to get your thoughts on that encounter and on Mr. Hernandez. Bob Backlund: Firstly I would like to say that although I don't necessarily agree with the way that Mr. Poffo chooses to carry himself, last weekend he gave me a tough match and nearly had me locked in his version of the Chicken Wing. My reversal and his submission was a wonderful moment for me professionally, and given the opportunity I would shake his hand. Gordon Solie: Well, I'm certain.... Bob Backlund: I WAS SPEAKING GORDON!! Backlund gets wild eyed and turns to Solie, who just shakes his head and hands Backlund the microphone. Bob Backlund: As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted....I would shake his hand. As for Mr. Hernandez and the Florida Heavyweight Title. I will of course look forward to having that championship around my waist and adding that accolade to my resume. Now Gordon, if you have something you would like to add, I have finished. Gordon Solie: You seem very confident that you will defeat Hercules. Just last weekend he was victorious over "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and ran him out of Florida. Bob Backlund: I fail to understand what that has to do with me Gordon? Gordon Solie: I was just saying.... Bob Backlund: Are you comparing me to that blithering idiot Jim Duggan? Gordon Solie: No. I was just saying.... Bob Backlund: ARE YOU INSINUATING THAT MR. BOB BACKLUND IS SOMEHOW INFERIOR TO HACKSAW DUGGAN IN EITHER SKILL OR INTELLECT!!! Gordon Solie: I was simply.... Bob Backlund: GORDON SOLIE!! I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT YOU ONLY BROUGHT ME OVER HERE TO INSULT ME! Gordon Solie: This interview is over.... can we get security.... Backlund grabs the microphone from Solie and throws it on the ground. Backlund is looking at his hands, and then looking at Solie who is backing away from him. Several members of the security staff arrive on the stage between Backlund and Solie, and after just a few moments hesitation, Backlund levels one of them with a clothesline! The show goes off the air with Bob Backlund tossing members of the security staff around, as Gordon Solie slips away from the chaos.

I'm with Gene. Richter and The Nasty Girls is an awesome trio. Glad to see them dominating the championship scene! Nice win for Medusa to retain her belts.

I would agree that Nia's wrestling skills were very similar to that of Awesome Kong...

Florida sends Hacksaw Jim Duggan/Phil Lafon to the AWA for Steve Keirn/Stan Lane Florida sends Matt Borne to the NWA for The Barbarian Florida sends Buzz Sawyer/Brett Sawyer to Continental (repayment for Poffo/Woman/AOD) Florida sends Stan Lane to Pacific for Dennis Condrey

Eddie Graham Sports Arena Orlando, Florida Sunday November 28th, 1986 Bell Time: 4:00pm Singles Contest "El Jefe" Jose Estrada vs "Chief" Joe Lightfoot Estrada was able to defeat Lightfoot with a Cobra Clutch after a back and forth battle, but the real story of this contest came after the match was over. When the referee declared that Lightfoot was out from the clutch, Estrada dropped him to the canvas and headed out of the ring. He grabbed his cigar from the timekeepers table and lit it up. After taking a few big puffs, a big smile crossed his face and he headed back into the ring. Estrada reached down and pulled Lightfoot up by the hair and made a big show that he was going to burn Lightfoot again. Before he had a chance to do that, Sivi Afi and Cocoa Samoa hit the ring and Estrada quickly exited but continued smirking the whole way to the back. Singles Contest "Hollywood" John Tatum w/Dark Journey defeated Tom Zenk with a Roll Up and a handful of tights! Florida Tag Team Title #1 Contender Match The South Pacific Islanders (Sivi Afi/Cocoa Samoa) vs The Fabulous Blondes (Rip Rogers/Chick Donovan) This one had just reached the ten minute mark when Chick Donovan went for a crossbody block on Sivi Afi, and the foot of Donovan inadvertently caught the referee. With the ref down, Rip Rogers hit the ring and jumped on Afi, which brought Cocoa into the ring and soon all four men were brawling. Cocoa and Afi looked to have the upper hand, when Fidel and Ricky of The Cartel came running down the aisle and hit the ring. Each of them appeared to be wearing brass knuckles as they managed to lay out both Afi and Samoa with one punch each. The Cartel quickly exited the area, as Rogers and Donovan rolled Cocoa out of the ring. Donovan covered Afi, as Rogers woke up the ref, and just like that The Fabulous Blondes secured another shot at Good & Plenty and the Florida Tag Team Titles. Singles Contest "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal vs Kazaharu w/Skandor Akbar Regal and Kazaharu put on quite the little show with a fast paced, back and forth encounter that saw several near falls and had the fans on the edge of their seats. The end of the match came when Regal went for his Fort Lauderdale Leglock, but Kazaharu was able to kick him away into the ropes. Akbar reached into the ring and grabbed the foot of Regal which distracted him long enough for Kazaharu to get back to his feet. As the referee went to yell at Akbar for getting involved, Kazaharu flipped his hair out of his face and let loose with the green mist!! But this time Regal saw it coming and ducked down, grabbing the legs of Kazaharu, sweeping them out from under him and rolling through with a jackknife cradle! A stunned Kazaharu never had time to react and the referee counted the One, Two, Three!! Double Strap Match The Glamour Boys (Steve Doll/Steve Simpson) vs The Highwaymen (Bobby Duncum/Phil Hickerson) This was none of that go around and touch the corners crap, the strap was just here for these guys to whip the hell out of each other with, and whip the hell out of each other with it they did! Simpson was strapped to Duncum, and Doll to Hickerson, but that didn't prohibit them from strapping the other guys too! By the end of this one, all four men were covered in welts and Steve Doll was bleeding profusely. The Highwaymen managed to pick up the win after stuffing Doll with the Spike Piledriver after Duncum hung Simpson with his strap. Even as The Highwaymen were limping gingerly to the back, The Glamour Boys were in the ring pulling themselves up and could be heard saying this wasn't over. Florida Heavyweight Title #1 Contenders Match Bob Backlund beat "Luscious" Lanny Poffo w/Woman & Man after reversing the Painacle into the Crossface Chicken Wing and forcing Poffo to submit. No DQ, No Count Out, Elimination Style, Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team Contest The Spoiler/Texas Red vs "Maniac" Matt Borne/"Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer Another wild brawl as to be expected that quickly spilled out of the ring. The timekeepers table was quickly overturned as Red tossed Buzz Sawyer over it and his weight collapsed one end. Borne and The Spoiler fought up the aisle and over the guard rail, battling near the bathrooms where they took turns smashing one another into a Pepsi machine. Red and Sawyer took turns blasting one another with chairs at ringside, and soon both men were bleeding. The first elimination came when Borne and Spoiler had actually fought into the concession stand, and Borne smashed The Spoiler over the head with a huge metal cooking pot, tossed him over the counter, and gave him a piledriver on the concrete floor! Spoiler was unable to kick out and was eliminated. The second elimination occurred just moments later at ringisde as Sawyer charged at Texas Red who backdropped him and sent him crashing into the leaning timekeepers table which was reduced to a pile of kindling. Red quickly covered the stunned Sawyer for the three count. Borne arrived back to ringside a few moments too late, but simply grabbed a chair and cracked Red across the back as he got up from covering Sawyer. Texas Red rolled into the ring to escape the attack, but Borne followed him in and cracked him again as he was trying to get to his feet. Borne dropped the chair and grabbed two handfuls of Red's hair and pulled him to his feet. Borne then let loose with a laugh, raised his right hand high up in the air, and used it to bitch slap Red in the face. Borne cackled again, then raised his left hand into the air.... but before he could move to throw another slap, the eyes of Texas Red flared open and he looked enraged! He reached out with quickness and snatched the upraised arm of Borne and wrenched it back, then he clenched his free hand into a fist and delivered...The Heart Punch!!! Matt Borne crumbled to the mat like a sack of bricks, and Red stared at his fist, almost shocked at what he had just done. The referee slid into the ring and began checking on Matt Borne, and quickly called for the bell. Texas Red was declared the winner, but he just walked slowly to the back, rubbing his fist the whole way. A stretched was brought out for Matt Borne and he left the arena not moving. Florida Heavyweight Title Match (Jim Duggan must leave Florida if he loses) (Champion) Hercules Hernandez w/Skandor Akbar vs "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan This one was fairly back and forth for the majority of the match with both guys holding the advantage several times. The crowd was firmly behind Duggan who looked like he was going to rise to the occasion on this night, but when he dropped down in his three point stance to attempt his lariat, Akbar grabbed his foot. Duggan went after Akbar, allowing Hercules to take back the advantage and he scored several near falls. Duggan finally turned the momentum back in his favor after ducking a Hercules clothesline and catching the champion with a powerslam that got a two count. Duggan followed that up with a big elbow, and then pulled Hernandez to his feet and sent him into the ropes where he caught him with a big shoulder tackle. Duggan got set for the three point stance again, and again Akbar grabbed his foot, but this time Duggan was ready and with a big pull of his leg, he yanked Akbar half way into the ring. Duggan reached down and pulled Skandor to his feet, then wound up and blasted him with a huge punch that sent Akbar sprawling. The referee came over and began shoving the carcas of Akbar out of the ring, but all of this gave Hercules time to recover. Hernandez blindsided Duggan with a clothesline to the back of the head, then took him over with a belly to back suplex. Hercules covered Hacksaw, and the referee who was still half distracted from trying to get rid of Akbar jumped down to make the count, and never noticed Hercules put his feet on the ropes half way through! WINNER, and STILLLL... FLORIDA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION..... HERCULES HERNANDEZ!! Hercules grabbed the title and headed for higher ground, with a half delirious Akbar following behind. An angry Duggan chased the referee out of the ring, then shook his head in disappointment, before exiting the ring and saying goodbye to the CWF fans.

Continental speaks it's mind in the NWA split, and it seems they stand alone... for now. I am loving "Adorable" Adrian, and a good feud with The Bullet should help establish him. Slick's Stable is amazing, and I can't wait to see who is going to "Fit In." All of this goodness coming out of the Leroy joke is fantastic. JYD/Olympia meaning bidness! So glad that the Buddy/RPG rift has been mended. Landel is still one of the best promo's in the game. He has been sorely missed on the show! Exotic Garden is so much fun, and "Ello Linda" gets me every time. Chicky taking the boys back to P.R. for a rest may be dangerous for every one. Madril vs Street is a great feud. Terry Taylor's apparent slow turn to the dark side is going to make for intriguing TV. Great Shit Brother!

(Taped on Wednesday November 24th, 1986 and airing Saturday November 27th) Airing on.... and other great stations across the Southeastern United States.... From the Tampa Sportatorium, this is.... Let's head down to ringside, with the voice of Professional Wrestling... Mr. Gordon Solie Gordon Solie: Happy Thanksgiving Ladies and Gentleman and welcome to Championship Wrestling from Florida. As always, I am Gordon Solie and we have quite an afternoon of action in store for you here today as we get ready for our big event tomorrow at the Eddie Graham Sports Arena. We will have all of the details on that show later on in the hour, but on tap for today we have tag team action featuring the Glamour Boys. "Hollywood" John Tatum along with his manager Dark Journey will be here, as will newcomer Tom Zenk. "Luscious" Lanny Poffo will be in our featured contest, and up now we have the members of The Cartel in six man tag team action. Let's head down to the ring for that bout. =========================================================================================================== Match #1 -The Cartel (Jose Estrada, Fidel Sierra, Ricky Santana) defeated Scott Reese, Jeffrey Howard, and Ian Christopher by submission when Estrada used a Cobra Clutch on Reese.- =========================================================================================================== All three members of The Cartel head over to the small stage where Gordon's podium is. Gordon doesn't even both trying and simply hands the microphone to Fidel, who in turn hands it to Estrada. Estrada nods to Ricky, who produces another Hundred Dollar Bill and slips into the breast pocket of Gordon's suit. Jose Estrada: You see that? This old gringo learned a lesson. You do what your told, and good things happen to you. Apparently that stupid Indian, Joe Lightfoot didn't learn his lesson. In Texas, he crossed me and I nearly burned his eye out of his head. Now.. I am here in Florida trying to conduct some business, and this....estupido cabron wants to cross me again? I didn't think you could be dumber than you look with the feathers.. and the dancing....but you proved me wrong. You want your revenge Lightfoot? An eye for an eye? I'll be at the Sports Arena tomorrow afternoon. How about I show you why they call me "El Jefe" one more time. You got the cajones, Chief? Fidel hands Estrada a cigar which he lights with a zippo. He takes a few big puffs, then mimes putting it out on the camera, and walks away laughing. Fidel and Ricky follow behind as the show fades to commercial. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Welcome back to Championship Wrestling, and if I may.... I don't care for Estrada or his Cartel, but if they want to hand me one hundred dollars to just sit here and let them talk instead of being threatened or insulted by them, well I'd be a fool not to take it. I hope all of you watching at home can understand that. Moving on, up next we have the promising young man who came very close to becoming the Florida Heavyweight Champion just a few weeks ago, Tom Zenk. Let's head down to the ring and see him in action. =========================================================================================================== Match #2 -Tom Zenk defeated The Bounty Hunter after hitting with a beautiful dropkick and then locking on a Sleeper Hold.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I am here with your winner, Tom Zenk. Tom Zenk: Thanks Gordon. I know I've only been here in Florida for a short time, but at the Battle of the Bay, I came very close to becoming the Florida Heavyweight Champion, and I feel like I.... "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC begins to play and interrupts whatever Zenk was about to say. After about twenty seconds of the song, "Hollywood" John Tatum comes strutting out from the back in a gold robe that has "Hollywood" across the back in sparkling white letters and is trimmed in white feathers. Dark Journey follows behind him in a strapless black and gold dress. Gordon Solie: Mr. Tatum, you aren't scheduled until after the break. This interview time is for Tom Zenk. John Tatum: Solie, if you think anyone in this building or watching at home is being entertained by listening to Bob Zink talk, or watching him wrestle, than I can say with one hundred percent certainty that you are hammered this week! Tom Zenk: Watch it Tatum... John Tatum: Calm Down Tim! I'm not saying you aren't entertaining, I'm just saying that given the option I'd rather sit around and watch cars rust than listen to you talk. Tom Zenk: Look, I am going to give you one warning... John Tatum: Next time you're going to be on TV? Good, that'll give everyone the chance to change the channel... Zenk leaps at Tatum and the two begin to throw punches, but security apparently saw this one coming as they are quickly on the scene and start pulling the two men apart. The show goes to commercial as referees and officials arrive to help break up the melee. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Welcome back to Championship Wrestling from Florida. Before the break we saw "Hollywood" John Tatum come out here and disrupt an interview with Tom Zenk which lead to a scuffle between the two. Security has taken Zenk back to his dressing room, and Tatum is in the ring for his scheduled bout. Let's head down to see that now. =========================================================================================================== Match #3 -"Hollywood" John Tatum w/Dark Journey beat Big Train McGee with the California Kick.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: "Hollywood" John Tatum picks up the win, and we'll be right back with... Tatum comes straight over to the desk and Gordon just rolls his eyes before handing him the microphone John Tatum: You don't have to roll your eyes Solie, I know you don't like me! I know you prefer "Mad Dog 20/20" Buzz Sawyer or Brady Boones Farm, but right now all you have is the biggest star in Florida and that is "Hollywood" John Tatum! Anyway, nobody cares about some old announcer bound for the Night Train! Tom Zenk! You wanna jump on "Hollywood" John? Well tomorrow afternoon in Orlando, I'm going to let you step in the ring with the biggest star in this company and I am going to show everybody that you are a nobody! How'd ya like that!! Ha! Ha! Ha! Tatum tosses the microphone at Solie before strutting toward the back. Dark Journey rolls her eyes and actually says "Sorry Gordon" before following him out of the arena. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Welcome back to Championship Wrestling from Florida. It's been quite an hour so far Ladies and Gentleman. Between The Cartel and Mr. Tatum, I've been unable to tell you about our event coming up tomorrow afternoon in Orlando. We have.... Buzz Sawyer and Matt Borne coming walking onto the stage stopping Gordon in mid-sentence. Gordon lets out a small sigh and turns his attention to them. Gordon Solie: Gentleman. What can I do for you? Matt Borne: Gordon, we seem to recall that last week The Spoiler and his apprentice were out here running their mouths and throwing out challenges. Could you possibly recap for us, just what it is that they wanted? Gordon Solie: I believe they've challenged you to a No Count Out, No Disqualification, Double Elimination, Falls Count Anywhere match. Buzz Sawyer: HA! HA! YOU WANT TO FIGHT US WITH NO RULES! THEN WHICH EVER ONE OF YOU IS A LITTLE TOUGHER GETS TO FIGHT US TWO ON ONE? OH YEAH!!! Matt Borne: You heard the man. We accept. First we'll cripple one of you, then we'll work together and have fun crippling the other. It doesn't matter to us which one is which. See you boys tomorrow. Buzz Sawyer: GET READY FOR WAR!!! Sawyer storms off toward the back, and Borne gives a devilish grin to the camera before following. Solie waits a few moments, and then begins again. Gordon Solie: As I was saying, tomorrow afternoon at the Eddie Graham Sports Arena in Orlando with a 4pm bell time, we have quite a card lined up for you. Let's go ahead and run down those matches for you now..

Steve Doll is shoved hard into the ringpost and when he eventually gets to his feet, he is covered in blood. Simpson meanwhile is knocked down, and then Duncum gets into a sitting position, places his feet on the shoulders of Simpson and pulls on his arms, stretching him out. Hickerson then produces a leather strap and proceeds to whip Simpson several times until security, officials, and referees hit the scene and The Highwaymen head for the back. Gordon Solie: The Highwaymen have absconded like criminals in the night, and The Glamour Boys are a mess. Let's take our last break while we get them some help. We'll be right back. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Alright, we are back and both Steve Doll and Steve Simpson have been helped to the back, and one can only assume they will be looking for some revenge tomorrow afternoon in Orlando. We now head to the ring for our featured contest with one of the two men who will compete to determine the next top contender for the Florida Heavyweight Title. =========================================================================================================== Match #5 -"Luscious" Lanny Poffo w/Woman & Man beat Shane Tylor by Submission with the PAINacle.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I am here with your winner "Luscious" Lanny Poffo and his entourage. Woman: Entourage? Is that all I am to you Gordy? Gordon Solie: Of course not, I was just uhh.. I was just saying... Lanny Poffo: Woman, you and Gordon can resolve your sexual tension another time. Gordon Solie: Wait just a moment... Lanny Poffo: Shush Gordon. I need to speak now to Bob Backlund. Bobby, everyone wants to know whether they are going to see the All American Opie, or if they are going to see the stark raving mad man, but I need you to know that I don't care. It's you who is stepping into the unknown tomorrow, as you will be going somewhere you've never been before, somewhere you don't understand, somehere... in between. You will be confused Bobby, you will be unsure of how to handle it, of what to do, and you'll be afraid Bobby. Afraid of what is happening, afraid of what you are feeling, and afraid that you just might like it, and that is when I will take you to the Pinnacle of Pain and lock your body close against mine until you scream that you can't take it anymore. Then I'll know that I am the bigger man Bobby, and while you slink away to lick your wounds, I will move on to go man to man with the Greek God or the guy with the big wood for the Florida Heavyweight Title, and trust me when I say I look real good in gold. Poffo licks his lips and then gives a smirk to the camera before turning and heading to the back. Woman gives Gordon a hurt look, then blows him a kiss before following. Finally Man places a hand on Gordon's shoulder and gives it a squeeze before giving him the standard wink and heading out. Gordon Solie: I uhhh... I don't know what to say after that. So, let me say please join us tomorrow in Orlando at the Eddie Graham Sports Arena at 4pm for an afternoon of action, and then join us back here next week for another exciting hour of Championship Wrestling. Until then, I am Gordon Solie saying So Long from the Sunshine State.

All Right!! My girl Kat Leroux picks up some gold!! Awesome story arc with Wendi Richter. In one night you made her champion, a total badass, and the most hated woman in the company.

As expected.... Superclash delivers big time!! The Japanese Dream Team takes the battle royal, and I think Priceless are in trouble! We follow with a nice win for the Iceman, and then Gagne retains to bring me and the crowd back down! Good Lord, the tornado handicap match is NUTS! Snuka picks up the win for his team, but at what cost! Larry and Al get the best of my boys The Bruise Brothers, which is unfortunate. Ricky and Robert bring it home!! Great Series! Well done bringing it down to the wire!! Hennig is going to be the next big thing here, I can feel it. Iceman heel turn? Interesting..... Bockwinkel picks up the win over Garvin, and you have to think he gets his title shot now! and as expected, Priceless are done! Lawler sends Idol packing, and picks up the gold! We can ignore those knuckles for a feel good moment!! Thank God! If Colon had won, I think I'd have given up watching the AWA! Steamboat makes a great champ. Awesome Show!!!

I think I am going to take CCW off my viewing list if Tommy Rich is out the door! Boo-urns!! Awesome War Games match. You have a ton of angle options coming out of this one. Madril should be a riot on the Garden. Dusty is a made man. Chicky is gonna be pissed. Good shit all around. Digging masked Scorpio. A feud with The Grappler should be fun stuff. Fuller/Golden need some new competition. Some hot action on the Gulf Coast! Keep it up!!

Well, that's a lot of stuff going on! Glad to see Butch still has a title. Thought it was way too soon to take it off of him. Be interested to see how the Vader push gets handled. The Superstars becoming Demolition should be fun. Doc and Gordy looking for revenge on everyone is going to be a LOT of fun! I wonder who Ladd has up his sleeve now!

Interesting to see what happens with Armstrong now, Ladd is going to be pissed, but I'm sure he'll have something up his sleeve! Dibiase turns on Doc, but Gordy comes for the save. Interesting way to turn Superstar into Ax. Dibiase with Adnan will be interesting and draw big heat I'd still pay a ton of money to see Nikita vs Gordy Luger gets revenge on the Sullivan gang, then gets burned. Tully winning the NWA Title will lead to an interesting dynamic in the Horseman, but man I hate to see Butch lose the title that quick after he long chased it.

The finish on Rosa/Hayter sucked, but that was a fun, stiff looking little fight up until then.

Jeebus, that dude came trucking like he was The Waterboy! Though, as much as I dislike Rollins, it looked like he could have slipped that pretty easily if the dude hadn't grabbed two handfuls of hair.

Interesting happenings in the world of wrestling this week! Continental pulls out of the NWA! I only wish we could have found out who the NWA Champion was before that happened! Thanksgiving Thunder is a stacked card! That War Games match is going to be NUTS! Loving the new take on "Adorable" Adrian. I can see that working a whole lot better than what we actually got. Tommy Rich not giving a damn anymore!! Love It!! Interested to see where you are headed in the Rich/Bullet match. Good Stuff Brother!

Starrcade is a stacked card! Gordy vs Nikita is a match I would have loved to have seen in real life! Hoping Reed doesn't turn over the NWA Title this quickly after winning it, but seeing a Tully run on top with Flair lurking in the background would be an interesting twist!

I didn't think Superclash could get any bigger, but now Lawler vs Idol is Loser Leaves Town!! Damn, I have no idea which way this ones goes now! That's what I've always loved about your shows Spaldoni. You constantly keep the talent coming in and out of your promotion, but it never feels rushed, and everyone always has something to do. It's truly a talent, and you have it down!!

Wow!! Didn't see Race taking the belt from Flair! Starrcade just got even more interesting!!
