The thing that always baffled me was that they have had a streaming service for the last several years, and almost none of those early shows that people actually want to see were on it. That just seemed like a huge missed opportunity to make some money.

I could see AEW grabbing Bandido, Brody King, and Danhausen. Along with the Andrade family people. Gresham to Impact is probably a good call. It's too bad that Dalton Castle seems to be broken down at this point.

Florida sends Chris Champion and Mark Starr to Continental for Akio Sato and Pat Rose.

Thatcher starts us with the big announcement that the Havoc tournament is now for the NWA Title! That ups the ante!! Then he suspends Chicky, Khan, Brody, and Abby! Damn, Thatcher means bidness! RPG gets Dusty stripped of the belt, and that's a fine looking tournament! Thatcher continues laying down the law, forcing the lashes on Bass and Brooks or they are out of the tournament! Damn!! Fucking fantastic segment with Slick and the Stud Stable!! This is going to be magic, and I can't wait to see what he is wearing next week. Enjoying the Billy Joe Travis gimmick. Can't wait until he is accidentally able to sing! First Pride steals his money, and now Street takes over his show. Things just keep getting worse for poor Al Madril!! Zenk and Taylor wrestled a nice, clean, 10 minute time limit for the TV Title. Let's see a rematch and see if it stays nice and clean! Looking forward to that tournament in Jackson on Monday, and then looking forward to Tommy "Wildfire" Rich regaining the NWA Title!!

I like the way that you are keeping your viewers up to date on the happenings regarding Halloween Havoc in the other NWA affiliates. Gaylord is on a roll here! Nice usage of the house show footage of the title change, and great intro for The Youngbloods. I'm glad I sent them your way. I think they are going to thrive here! Harts got real lucky tonight, cause you shouldn't be Afire near propane and propane accesories.... I'd like to have half of the costume budget for Don Bass!! Though the Rock and Roll Phantoms might be my new favorite!! The Harts and The Brutha's could potentially be a fun feud. Sullivan outsmarts Luger and takes the Television Title! and based on the description, I think he found The Missing Link to his stable! Harley and Tully for 45 minutes? That was either the greatest match of all time, or the longest headlock ever! Really looking forward to seeing what you guys do with Havoc! Keep up the good stuff!

SuperClash is shaping up to be a monster!! Bockwinkel has every right to be pissed off, and I hope we see him get an immediate shot at whoever wins Steamboat/Colon Something tells me that you are going to have a LOT of fun with heel turned Hennig around here. That 6 man Tornado Street Fight is going to be an absolute war!! Fabs are up 3-1! Things are looking bleak for Ricky and Robert!! Well, Idol had the right idea, but he still couldn't get the job done. Lawler get's his shot, and I have the feeling that the Heartthrob might be in trouble!! Another awesome week in the AWA, and like I said, SuperClash is looking to be your biggest show yet!

RPM's continuing to make friends and influence people here in Mid-South! If you aren't careful, you might make me like these guys! Hayes and Garvin cheat their way into the Battle Royal, as a good Freebird should! I can just picture Tojo behind the back of Precious stooging her out as the one behind the bounty! Good Stuff. Snake/LeDuc would be a hell of a fight. Doc advances, but Ernie Ladd gets done wrong by the man again. Poor Big Cat I'm with Spaldoni... Adnan better be paying Fergie a little something for that win. Quite a main event as Oliver's night goes from bad to worse, losing his battle royal spot, and his claim to the money as Scott Casey is alive and well! That should lead to some big fights!!

Good Lord, you have built a stacked two night event!! 5 Title Matches, 3 Guys Leaving the Territory! Nuts! Very much looking forward to seeing if BW can take the belt out of the hands of Buddy Rose. Also intrigued to see how Adams vs Adams plays out!

If Medusa has found back up in Velvet, that's some good back up!! Moretti is looking unstoppable!! Very interested to see who can step up and even give her a challenge at this point!

Exactly. Those guys weren't there to have fun. They were there to try and "get over" and be disruptive on camera as much as possible. I see these same kind of obnoxious douchebags at indy shows ALL the time, and honestly they make me not want to go anymore. As you said, bringing one funny sign, or yelling one funny comment would be one thing. But when you keep on it and do it the whole f'n show.... throw them the hell out. No one paid money to see these jackasses.

II DVR'ed the Smackdown replay tonight just to see that final segment and I am wondering if they edited it. Charlotte handed her title to Sonya, Becky threw hers at Charlotte and she dropped it. It didn't really seem all that odd. EDIT: Just saw the original on Twitter. They totally edited out the part where Becky reached for the belt and Charlotte turned away from her and dropped it. The new edit actually makes Becky look shitty for agressively throwing the belt at her while Charlotte just hands her over. Wierd.

Well, that was a decision..... This dipshit proceeded to hold up a "Let's Go Brandon" sign several times, then got a sign about Jungle Boy confiscated before he even held it up, and then finally got kicked out when he held up a "Sammy, creampie me" sign. I can't fathom why the hell would you pay all that money to sit 2nd row, just to be a complete jackass and get yourself thrown out. People are so fucking stupid.

I really wish they would remove the distracting dipshits in the 2nd row. First with the I Love Twinks sign, then posters of people hugging, then the one dude flexing, now the dude in the blue shirt is up and making an ass of himself. I fucking hate fans who think they are "getting themselves over"

(Taped on Wednesday October 20th, 1986 and airing Saturday October 23rd) 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: Hello Ladies and Gentleman and welcome to Championship Wrestling from Florida. I am Gordon Solie and we have a lot of action in store for you here this afternoon. We will see Skandor Akbar's Oriental Assassin known as Kazaharu in singles action. A masked man known around the world, The Spoiler will make his presence known here in Florida here today, and we will see "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in action. Speaking of "Hacksaw" Duggan, I am certain he will have much to say after the events that occurred last weekend down the road at the Spartan Sports Center. We will be discussing those happenings and much more, but right now let's head to the ring where the man who hails from Antigua in the West Indies, Special Delivery Jones is set for action. S.D. is getting a great reaction from the crowd as he heads to the ring wearing one of his trademark colorful shirts, blue trunks, and white boots. He is slapping hands and is all smiles until he hits the ring and gets ready for competition. =========================================================================================================== Match #1 -S.D. Jones beat "From Outta Town" Snake Brown with a Running Headbutt.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Jones sent that headbutt Special Delivery and that was all for one Snake Brown. We'll be right back to talk about last weekends first round matches in the tournament for the Florida Tag Team Titles. Don't go anywhere. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Welcome back to Championship Wrestling. Now, last weekend during our big event here in Tampa, we saw the first round of the tournament for the Florida Tag Team Titles take place. Four teams have advanced to the second round, and I can now confirm that those matches will be held on the afternoon of Halloween over at the Lakeland Civic Center. Again, that is Sunday October 31st at 4pm at the Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland. On that card will be both of the semi-final contests as well as the tournament final, so we will see the new Florida Tag Team Champions crowned on that afternoon. Those matches will see The Fabulous Blondes take on the team of Good and Plenty in one semi-final, while The Highwaymen take on my guests at this time, Steve Doll and Steve Simpson, The Glamour Boys! "Cum on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot hits in the Tampa Sportatorium as The Glamour Boys come from the back in jeans and tanks tops and after a quick lap of the ringside area to give high fives and kiss girls, come to stand next to Gordon. Gordon Solie: Gentleman, first of all I'd like to congratulate you on your first round victory in the tournament. Then I would like to ask you about your upcoming match up against your longtime rivals, The Highwaymen. Steve Doll: Thank You Gordon. Those Dogs of War were two big, tough dudes but we did what we do, and we came out on top. Now we find ourselves with The Highwaymen in our way yet again. You know, we've been going at it with these guys for going on two years now, two years! We fought all over the state of Texas in nearly every kind of match you can imagine and we just can't seem to get rid of them. Steve Simpson: It pains me to say this Gordon, but Duncum and Hickerson have beaten us more times than we've beaten them, because in the past we've tried to play by the rules and they've cheated us time and time again. What's that old saying? Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice..... Yeah, you know it. Well, The Glamour Boys are done being fooled, and we are done playing with you two. We want these Florida Tag Team Titles, and we're going to do whatever we have to do to beat you this time. Steve Doll: Duncum! Hickerson! You two might be as tough as they come, but we are going to show you what youth gone wild is all about! The crowd lets loose with a big pop as Doll and Simpson head for the back all fired up. -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #2 -Los Cubanos (Ricky Santana/Miguelito Perez) w/"Sir" Oliver Humperdink beat Shane Tylor/Scott Reese when Santana pinned Reese after a Flying Splash.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I am hear with... Oliver Humperdink: Shut Up Solie! I got a lot to say and I don't have time for your stupid questions! With a look of utter annoyance, Solie just hands the microphone to Humperdink and takes his seat. Oliver Humperdink: I guess your smarter than most of these people look! Anyway, last weekend my team came up short in the tournament, and I'm not happy about it! You two promised me those titles! So what about it!! Ricky Santana: Don't look at me, he got pinned. Oliver Humperdink: That's right! It was you that lost!! Miguelito Perez: I..uhh....ummm.... Oliver Humperdink: WELL!!! Miguelito Perez: Lemme make it up to you boss. This show coming up... I wanna call out those Samoan Islanders or whatever. We'll take them out and get back on track. Humperdink is staring daggers, while Santana is obviously wondering where the "we" stuff is coming from. Oliver Humperdink: YOU BETTER! Let's go boys!! -Commercial Break- As we return we are shown several still images of the past weekends event where Kazaharu sprayed the green mist into the face of "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal. Gordon Solie: Welcome back Ladies and Gentleman. As you've just seen the match between Kazaharu and Steve Regal ended in controversial fashion as Kazaharu spewed forth a green spray into the face and eyes of Steve Regal. I understand that Mr. Regal required medical attention and is still having difficulty with his vision. We wish him the best in his recovery. Now we will see this Kazaharu in action. =========================================================================================================== Match #3 -Kazaharu w/"General" Skandor Akbar beat Big Train McGee with the Rolling Japanese Sleeper.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I am joined by your winner Kazaharu and his manager "General" Skandor Akbar. Now, I know you have much to say Mr. Akbar, but I would like to ask Kazaharu about this mist that he sprayed into the eyes of Steve Regal. Skandor Akbar: Well Gordon Solie, you will just have to settle for speaking with me as Kazaharu does not lower himself to speaking English! Gordon Solie: Well then "General", what can you tell me about that mist? Skandor Akbar: What mist? Gordon Solie: The mist that he sprayed into the eyes of Steve Regal at our event this past weekend! Skandor Akbar: I never saw any mist. Gordon Solie: You've got to be kidding me. Then how do you explain the green viscous fluid that was all over the face of Steve Regal at the end of that match! Skandor Akbar: I don't know Solie. He was probably fraternizing with one of the these disgusting Florida women and caught some kind of disease! Gordon Solie: Okay. We are finished here. Skandor Akbar: Absolutely Not Solie! I have yet to discuss the victory of mine and the Sheik's protege Sabu this past weekend! He is now off enjoying a celebration that you can't even dream of! Gordon Solie: Are you also going to discuss the failure of the Dogs of War? Skandor Akbar: Those two have been sent away for reconditioning... but don't you try and provoke me Solie! My Kazaharu might just have some mist for you if you keep it up! Akbar walks away chuckling as Kazahary follow stoically behind him. Solie just shakes his head as the show cuts to commercial. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, I would like to take a moment and apologize to you for my being unprofessional. I should not have provoked Skandor Akbar, but sometimes, some people just get under your skin. "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top begins to play as Rip Rogers and Chick Donovan come strutting out from the back. They are wearing matching cheap sunglasses, powder blue tights, and gold boots. The outfits are topped off with matching pink vests that say "Ripper" and "Chick Magnet" on them respectively. Gordon Solie: As I was saying.... Anyhow, please welcome my guests at this time, Rip Rogers and Chick Donovan, The Fabulous Blondes! Rip Rogers: Let me tell you something Gordo! The Fabulous Blondes have taken Florida by storm baby! We have all the girls, all the money, and real soon we are going to have all the gold! Chick Donovan That's right Big Ripper! Last weekend we beat those two Mexicans and now we are headed on to the next round of the tournament for those Florida Tag Team Championships. So listen up Fat and Skinny! If you two think for even a minute you are going to derail the Blonde Train, you got another thing coming. Rip Rogers: Now, before we do our favorite thing to do in Tampa... which is leave Tampa... hit our music one more time!! "Sharp Dressed Man" begins to play again as the fans boo unmercifully. Rogers and Donovan are un-phased as they strut and preen around Gordon Solie and then all the way to the back. Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, we'll be right back with The Spoiler. -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #4 -The Spoiler defeated Ken Johnson by submission with The Claw.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I am here with your winner, The Spoiler The Spoiler: You know, I've been around this world more times than I count. I've fought everybody who's anybody in the professional wrestling business. I've held world championships from one corner of this globe to the other. So when I heard that Championship Wrestling from Florida was back in business, I knew I had to make my way back down here to show everyone just who the biggest, baddest man in the business of professional wrestling is, was, and always will be. Now.... Before The Spoiler can continue, Buzz Sawyer and Matt Borne come rushing onto the set and just begin to assault him. Gordon Solie nearly gets knocked over in the fracas, but manages to run for the hills. Sawyer takes the chair that Solie normally sits in and begins to wear Spoiler out with it, as Borne just stomps the masked man in the head over and over again. Sawyer hands Borne the chair, and then underhooks the arms of Spoiler. Borne rears back and blasts Spoiler in the head with the chair. The masked man collapses to the ground in a heap and Borne just tosses the chair on top of him. Sawyer drops down and begins punching and tearing at the mask, while Borne picks up the microphone that Gordon Solie left behind. Matt Borne: You may have been the biggest, and the baddest man in the business a long time ago masked man.... But right here, right now... you are looking at the two most dangerous men in Florida. Don't forget.... Borne and Sawyer walk away from the scene laughing, as the camera pans in on the fallen Spoiler whose mask is torn and blood is pouring from his forehead. -Commercial Break- As we return from the commercial break, we see medical personnel and referee's assisting The Spoiler behind the curtain. Gordon Solie is standing shaking his head and looking at the blood on the floor of his destroyed set. Gordon Solie: Welcome back to Championship Wrestling from Florida. Before the break we saw Buzz Sawyer and Matt Borne perpetrate an assault on The Spoiler. I understand they have been removed from the building by the local police, and as you saw The Spoiler is being taken to the back and being tended to by the medical personnel that we have here with us today. We will try to bring you an update on his condition here next week. As they say though, the show must go on, so let's talk for a moment about the show we have coming up on October 31st at the Lakeland Civic Center. So far the following matches have been signed.... Glamour Boys vs The Highwaymen - Florida Tag Title Tournament Semi-Final Good & Plenty vs The Fabulous Blondes - Florida Tag Title Tournament Semi-Final Winner Semi Final #1 vs Winner Semi-Final #2 - Florida Tag Team Titles Kazaharu w/Skandor Akbar vs "Beach Boy" Allen West Just Signed: Los Cubanos w/Oliver Humperdink vs South Pacific Islanders Quite a night of action already in store, and I do understand that more matches will be added. Up next we have "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. This past weekend he and Hercules Hernandez met at our event here in Tampa and the result was inconclusive as the referee threw the match out when the brawl got out of control. Neither man was happy with that result, and I'm sure "Hacksaw" will have something to say. =========================================================================================================== Match #5 -"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan defeated The Bounty Hunter with a Running Lariat from a Three Point Stance.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Here is your winner, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Jim Duggan: Gordon! I'm gonna make this short and sweet! I want another fight with Hercules Hernandez, and since he wants to bring that chain into everything, let's go ahead and make it a chain match! Gordon Solie: That seems like a dangerous proposition Jim. Jim Duggan: It may be, but at least if we are both attached to the chain, I'll see it coming. So Hercules, if you got any guts, let's do this... Tough Guy! Duggan nods at Gordon, gives a thumbs up to the fans, and heads to the back. Gordon Solie: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman. That is going to be all for Championship Wrestling here this evening, but please be sure to join us right here next week. Aleady scheduled we'll see "Beach Boy" Allen West in action. The South Pacific Islanders will be in tag team action, and we will see the debut of one "Hollywood" John Tatum with his manager Dark Journey. Until then, this is Gordon Solie saying So Long From the Sunshine State!

If they want to turn Andrade/Pac into a Best of Seven, I'm game!

No idea how long it will stay up, but here you go.... https://dai.ly/x85100b

I love how a guy who did all of that crazy shit, called himself "The Messiah" and got his thumb chopped off in a half assed hit.... is now like the most normal looking, well spoken, happy to be a Dad dude that you could ever see. Good for him!

Youngbloods score a huge win on their first night in the company!! So glad to see Shaska and Tiger back together! Be it The Movement or The Brutha's.. this world has been good to them! Loving Nikita as a wrecking machine in this game. Hoping to see him take on the Horseman at some point in the future.

So, after a tournament filled with nothing but matches that lasted less than 3 minutes, the finals are going to be Zelina Vega vs Doudrop in Saudi Arabia.... A lady they fired for daring to talk about unionization, only to bring her back and fire her husband like two months later vs a girl who probably got her name because it makes Vince and Dunn laugh, in a country that looks at women as second class human beings. The Women's Revolution is looking great these days.....

Oh Man.... I really hope Slinker's leg is okay. Tyree Pride is a dead man! I am SO looking forward to Slick with The Stud Stable! Poffo/Street sounds amazing! Well done feud all around. I will do my best to take care of them now! Glad to see Olympia back where he belongs, but.... Holy Shit! Brody and Abby on the same side!! This is HUGE trouble for Continental. This place is getting crazy, and I am loving it!

Can't you see we are trying to have a conversation about one of the most influental and beloved professional wrestlers of the last 50 years, Steve "Do It, To It" Cox!!!

Florida sends Mark Younglood, Chris Youngblood, and Tiger Conway Jr to MACW for Doug Furnas, Phil Lafon, and SD Jones

Well done on cutting between Platt in the studio and the show that was originally taped to break the news about Magnum TA. Nice way to cover all your bases with having a taped show but needing to get the information out in the game. Street vs Luscious in a Loser Leaves Town Cage Match! Yikes! "Well my heart just bleeds for Chicky" was a great line from Thatcher! Welch's return and interaction with the Stud Stable was fun stuff. I have to wonder if him setting them up with his friend, might be a repayment for them not believing in him? Great Promo with JYD and Stubbs showing up. Seriously, top of the line. That builds some major intrigue, that would have the people going nuts. That may be my favorite Fiesta Garden that you've done! Travis as a hillbilly honky tonk, and Madril just shitting all over it is wonderful. Yeesh, Terry Taylor pinning Nelson Royal with a backslide sounds like a match that started slow and tapered off from there.... Interesting promo with Sherri and Adrian. Excited to see where this is leading. Tommy Rich and Brad Armstrong are great choices for Battle Royal winners, and I am now officially pulling for Tommy Rich to become a 2 Time NWA World Heavyweight Champion!! Great stuff as always!!

Good God, you all are stacking that Halloween Havoc card, and that Battle Royal on MACW TV before it isn't going to be too shabby either!! Glad to see Gaylord getting some wins here! I think he can be a nice midcarder. Good promo's for both The Horseman and Nikita. "Randy Macho" was great. Sullivan and Luger is turning into a wild feud. I smell a gimmick match in the future! Koloffs destroying the cowboys would have been a fun watch. Especially Nikita ripping the head off of Dirty Rose Big win for Harley and Savage over the Horseman! Mid Atlantic is certainly heating up! Looking forward to seeing where all of it goes!!

As much as I dislike Carlos Colon, great promo, and great reasoning behind the heel turn. Though I still hope the Dragon beats him! Hoping something more substantial is coming for the Iceman soon. But happy to see him picking up wins and getting over in the meantime. Nice win for Larry and Al! This team is a nice balance of a lot of styles. They may be real hard to beat. Lawler gets his 2nd opponent, and I predict another Kingly win! Bit of a new gimmick for Adias, but his old partner gets the best of him! This is going to come to a head soon! Olympians advance as well. If they are facing Larry and Al in Round 2, that's one hell of a match! The Dragon is pissed! He accepts Colon's match and this will be a fight!! On too Louisville.... Bock finishes up some light work before reminding everyone who the rightful number one contender is! Yikes! Look's like the "Superfly" might need some Super Friends! Ricky and Robert win one! If they'd gone down 3-0, that may have been insurmountable! These matches would have been such a treat for fans. and my prediction is correct! Lawler Wins! Lawler costs Idol the match, but he retains the title. If Austin wants to avoid the King, he better find a stiffer challenge for #3!! As always, you are the master of giving everyone on the card something to do! Loving the Best of 7, and looking forward to seeing who Idol lines up next!
