  1. As much as I hate the RPM's, that's a fantastic way to get them some major heat right out of the gate. Good Stuff! Digging the 50k challenge. Very interested to see who ends up winning that, and how badly Adnan loses it when that happens! Poor Scott Casey. Everyone is after that bounty on his head! Ernie Ladd thinks his men are getting screwed, but he's done a lot of screwing himself around here. Karma's a bitch! What a wild main event, with a ton going on! Precious screws the pooch and gets her ass beat by Sunshine. Gordy brings home the victory and collects the bounty on Scott Casey!! Tremendous!! Now I have to wonder what's going to happen when Kendo and Oliver come looking for the money and the Birds don't have it!!
  2. It would be a shame if he only got to "Do It, To It" for 2 years!
  3. Spartan Sports Center Tampa, Florida Sunday October 17th, 1986 Bell Time: 4:00pm Open Challenge Tag Team Match "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer & "Maniac" Matt Borne vs Brady Boone & Joe Savoldi Not so much a match as a massacre. Boone was tossed to the floor early, and then Borne and Sawyer went to work dismantling Savoldi. Every time Boone tried to get back in and help his partner, he was thrown back to the floor. Savoldi was pummeled unmercifully, before finally being hit with a Sawyer Powerslam, and then pinned after a Top Rope Seated Senton from Borne. After the match Borne and Sawyer could be hear loudly asking where all the tough guys were in Florida. Singles Contest Sabu w/The Sheik & "General" Skandor Akbar defeated "Chief" Joe Lightfoot after a Flying Legdrop followed by the Camel Clutch Florida Tag Team Title Tournament - First Round The Glamour Boys (Steve Doll/Steve Simpson) vs The Dogs of War (Shrapnel/Armada) w/"General" Skandor Akbar Armada was a force at the beginning of this match, rag dolling both Doll and Simpson all over the ring. Stiff clotheslines and body slams had things looking bleak for The Glamour Boys. Once Shrapnel was tagged in, and he was unable to put either Doll or Simpson away, the tide began to turn. The Glamour Boys began using frequent tags and utilizing their speed to break the bigger opponent down, and finally scored the win when Doll dropkicked him into a crucifix by Simpson. Armada was seconds too late to break up the fall. Akbar was beside himself at ringside, berating both of his men, as The Glamour Boys celebrated. Florida Tag Team Title Tournament - First Round The Highwaymen (Phil Hickerson/Bobby Duncum) beat The Youngbloods (Mark Youngblood/Chris Youngblood) when Duncum pinned Chris after the Spike Piledriver Singles Contest "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal vs Kazaharu w/"General" Skandor Akbar A fantastic back and forth match that easily could have gone either way. Regal was constantly attempting to work on the leg, as Kazaharu targeted the head and neck with chops and nerve holds. It looked like Regal was going to get the job done when he slapped on the Ft. Lauderdale Leglock, but to the surprise of everyone in attendance, Kazaharu spewed a green mist into the face of Regal! The referee immediately called for the Disqualification as Regal clutched at his face. Kazaharu looked to be about to inflict more punishment on the blinded Regal, but referees and officials hit the ring and Akbar called him off. Florida Tag Team Title Tournament - First Round Good & Plenty ("Candy Man" Ray Candy/"Sweet Brown Sugar" Skip Young) defeated Los Cubanos (Ricky Santana/Miguelito Perez) w/"Sir" Oliver Humperdink when Ray Candy pinned Miguelito Perez after the Chocolate Drop Florida Tag Team Title Tournament - First Round The South Pacific Islanders (Cocoa Samoa/Sivi Afi) vs The Fabulous Blondes (Rip Rogers/Chick Donovan) The heat on Chick and Rip as they strutted and shook their asses on the way to the ring to "Sharp Dressed Man" was off the charts. The stalling and stooging that followed after the bell rang just made the people hate them more. Cocoa and Sivi were like gods every time they managed to light one of them up with a headbutt or a chop. When Sivi ran Chick into the ropes and they rolled backwards, Chick came out on top. Two handfuls of trunks later, and the Blondes were victorious, and the crowd was not remotely happy! Main Event "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan vs Hercules Hernandez This was a street fight from the moment the bell rang and the referee was doing everything he could to keep order. Eventually the action spilled to the floor and both men totally gave up on paying attention to the referee, banging each other into guard rails, off of the timekeepers table, and into ring posts. When Hercules grabbed his chain off the ring apron and took a swing at Duggan, the referee had enough and threw the match out. The fight didn't end though as Duggan grabbed hold of the 2x4 he brought to the ring and cracked Hernandez across the back with it. Hercules said the hell with it and headed for the dressing room as Duggan stood in the ring begging him to come back and fight.
  4. (Taped on Wednesday October 13th, 1986 and airing Saturday October 16th) 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 my oh my, do we have quite a program lined up for you here today. We will have in action two more of the tag teams set to compete tomorrow afternoon at the Spartan Sports Center here in Tampa as part of our tournament for the Florida Tag Team Titles. First up will be the Devastation Incorporated team that we, as of now know very little about, but I can only assume that General Akbar will be along shortly to fill in those details. Then the fun loving duo known as Good and Plenty will be out here a little later, and if you've never seen these two gentleman, well I can promise you that you won't want to miss this! We will also see the debut of the exciting "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal who is from just across the way in Fort Lauderdale, and we will also be joined by the man who last week assaulted "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan at the conclusion of our main event, Hercules Hernandez. So let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back with the Devastation Incorporated team. Don't go anywhere. -Commercial Break- As we return we see that Gordon has in fact been joined by Skandor Akbar. Gordon Solie: General Akbar, am I to assume that you are here to introduce us to your representatives in tomorrows tournament for the Florida Tag Team Titles? Skandor Akbar: Correct you are Gordon Solie! Two weeks ago I unveiled the crown jewel of my Devastation Corporation, the Oriental Assassin known as Kazaharu! Then last week alongside my business associate The Sheik, I unleashed Sabu upon the world. Now here today, I present to you the two men who are going to march into the Spartan Sports Center tomorrow afternoon and claim the Florida Tag Team Titles for Devastation Inc! I have my assassin, and I have my future champion, now I bring forth my troops, my warriors! Without further adieu, I present Shrapnel and Armada... The Dogs of War!! The first of the men to emerge from the curtain, Shrapnel, stands around 6'2" and has long black hair and a full beard. He is well built but not overly muscular, and is wearing camouflage pants over a black singlet, and has his hands taped about half way up the forearm. His face is fully covered in camouflage grease paint and he has a thousand yard stare that never leaves his face. The man who follows him out, Armada, is around the same height but has a body that looks like it was chiseled out of granite. If this man has missed a day at the gym, it hasn't been recently. He has brown hair that looks like it is starting to be grown long and a mustache, and his face also has camouflage paint but it is in more of a design than that of his partner. He is dressed in black boots, knee pads, and a pair of black trunks with the word ARMADA emblazoned on the rear. He also has bands around his bulging biceps. =========================================================================================================== Match #1 -Dogs of War (Shrapnel/Armada) beat Scott Reese/Jeff Howard after Armada pinned Reese following a Press Slam Drop.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: My goodness, what destruction. I have no idea where Akbar found these two, but they look to be very dangerous indeed. We'll be right back. The camera fades to commercial on Armada flexing his impressive muscles for the camera. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Welcome back to Championship Wrestling, and please welcome me in joining from Fort Lauderdale, "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal! Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" hits in the Tampa Sportatorium and the cheers go up as Steve Regal makes his way to the podium. He is wearing blue tights with white boots and a black satin jacket with Mr. Electricity on the back in glittery gold lettering. He waves to the crowd before shaking hands with Gordon. Gordon Solie: Mr. Regal, welcome to Championship Wrestling from Florida. Steve Regal: You know something Gordon Solie, I've wrestled all across the United States. I've been to Mexico, I've been to Japan, and MAN... does it feel good to come home! Gordon Solie: Ha! I'm sure. Now, before you head to the ring I just wanted to ask. What are you goals here in the CWF? Steve Regal: Well, I know tomorrow night they are starting the tournament to crown those Florida Tag Team Champions. Well, I can't think it will be too long before they figure out how they want to crown a new Florida Heavyweight Champion. However they decide to do that, "Mr. Electricity" wants to be a part of it! Gordon Solie: Thank You Steve. Steve Regal: Thank You Gordon! =========================================================================================================== Match #2 -"Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal submitted Mitch Currie with the Fort Lauderdale Leglock- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Steve Regal picks up the win with his Lauderdale Leglock much to the delight of the fans in attendance here today at the Sportatorium. It will be very interesting to see if he will be able to use that hold as effectively tomorrow afternoon when he takes on "General" Akbar's Oriental Assassin Kazaharu as part of our event at the Spartan Sports Center here in Tampa. Let's go ahead and run down what we have in store for folks tomorrow afternoon.... First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: The Highwaymen vs The Youngbloods First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: The Glamour Boys vs Dogs of War First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: Los Cubanos vs Good and Plenty First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: The Fabulous Blondes vs The South Pacific Islanders Sabu w/The Sheik and Skandor Akbar vs "Chief" Joe Lightfoot "The Oriental Assassin" Kazaharu vs Florida's own "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal Some of you may notice that a change has been made to the tournament match ups since they were announced last week. Please allow me a moment to explain to you the reason for this adjustment. Bobby Duncum and Phil Hickerson, collectively The Highwaymen were originally slotted against the team of Good and Plenty who we will see debut here next. However, when they found out that Chris and Mark Youngblood were part of this tournament, they went to the matchmakers here in Championship Wrestling and asked for the match to be changed. Apparently just over a year ago in Texas, The Highwaymen held the tag team titles of a promotion in the Dallas area and they were defeated by The Youngbloods for those championships. They've apparently not let that one go, and wanted another shot at Chris and Mark. The Youngbloods were more than happy to oblige, and neither Good and Plenty nor the Humperdink led team of Los Cubanos had any objections, so the brackets have been switched. Anyhow, a stellar card either way, and again that is right here in Tampa, just down the road at the Spartan Sports Center with a bell time of 4pm. Be sure to join us for a great afternoon of wrestling action. We'll be right back with Good and Plenty! -Commercial Break- As the show returns from commercial, New Edition's "Candy Girl" begins to play and out from the back comes the duo of Skip Young and Ray Candy! They are wearing matching red and white striped tights, sparkling red boots, and sparkling red vests. The only difference being that Young's vest says "Sweet Brown Sugar" on the back while Candy's reads "The Candy Man." They are grooving to the beat of the song and high fiving the fans on the way to the ring, and the Sportatorium fans are eating it up, dancing and clapping along. The ring announcer introduces them as "weighting in at a combined weight of 575 pounds, "Sweet Brown Sugar" Skip Young, "The Candy Man" Ray Candy, they are Good & Plenty!!" =========================================================================================================== Match #3 -Good & Plenty (Ray Candy/Skip Young) beat JT Hart/Rick Cohen after Candy pinned Reese following the Chocolate Drop.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, I am here with your winners Ray Candy and Skip Young! Now gentleman, tomorrow afternoon you will take on Los Cubanos in the first round of the tournament to crown the new Florida Tag Team Champions. Can I get your thoughts on that contest. Skip Young: Ya know something! When Sweet Brown Sugar and The Candy Man first came together, everybody said that we had nothing in common. They said cause he was big and I was little that this team could never work. Well lemme tell ya Gordon, Good and Plenty have proven to all those people that when we work together, ain't nobody gonna stop us! So tomorrow when we step in the ring with them cowboys or whatever they is, they better be ready cause the whippin' were planning to give them is gonna be Good and Plenty! Ray Candy: That's right! Los Cubanos! We know your two tough guys. But with my size and his speed, you've never faced anything like me and Sugar before. So tomorrow when we head into the ring and you two boys are thinking to yourselves, who can beat Los Cubanos? I'll tell you who. My man Skip Young, Sweet Brown Sugar can, and you gotta know... The Candy Man Can! Give it to me Gordon! Candy holds up his hand up for a high five and after several moments of looking absolutely unsure of himself, Gordon slaps the hand of Candy to a massive pop from the crowd in the Tampa Sportatorium! Young and Candy then head to the back as Solie shrugs his shoulders and the show heads to break. -Commercial Break- We get yet another vignette of Rip Rogers and Chick Donovan, and this time we get a montage of them in the gym. First we see them lifting weights, followed by them posing in the mirror. Then we get them riding exercise bikes, and winking at several ladies who are also using the bikes. Then we see them running laps around an outdoor track, then we cut to them swimming laps at an indoor pool, complete with slow motion shots of them shaking out their hair when they come out of the water. Finally we end with a shot of the two of them wiping their faces with a towel, before nodding to one another and giving the camera a thumbs up. Gordon Solie: This team of Donovan and Rogers have certainly made an impression with the videos they've sent in to be played each week, but it remains to be seen whether or not they'll have what it takes when it comes to the tournament for the Florida Tag Team Titles. Up next we have the man who last week brutally assaulted "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan after his match, one Hercules Hernandez. Last week Mr. Hernandez threatened physical harm on yours truly when I attempted to get a word with him, but I am hoping today maybe he will be a bit more cordial. Hercules comes from the back in white boots, and black knee pads and trunks. He has his chain wrapped around his neck and is headed toward the ring when Gordon Solie calls out to him. Gordon Solie: Mr. Hernandez, if I may... Hercules Hernandez: What is it, little man! Gordon Solie: Last week after you attacked Jim Duggan, and I asked you why, you said because you could. Is that truly all there was too it? Hercules Hernandez: Gordon Solie, when you arrive somewhere and you want to make an impact and show everyone that you are the biggest and baddest man around, the best way to do that is by finding the guy already there who fits that bill, and beating him down. So what you saw last week was The Mighty Hercules establishing himself as the Alpha Male of Florida wrestling. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go break this guy in half. Gordon Solie: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman. =========================================================================================================== Match #4 -Hercules Hernandez submitted Big Train McGee with the Torture Backbreaker- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: It certainly didn't take Hercules long too.... here comes "Hacksaw" Duggan!! Duggan charges to the ring dressed in blue jeans and a button down shirt and is carrying a large 2x4 with him! He makes it into the ring before Hercules realizes what is happening, and takes a swing at him with the board, but Hernandez bails out of the ring at the last possible second. Duggan is clearly pissed off, and follows Hercules out of the ring and begins chasing him, at one point swinging the board at him and catching it hard enough on the ring post to break the board and send part of the 2x4 sailing off into the corner of the building. Both men soon disappear into the back of the building. Gordon Solie: Katie bar the door, it's a Pier Six Brawl! Let's take a break while we get order restored! -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Welcome back Ladies and Gentleman, I do understand that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan has been escorted from the building and order has been restored in the back. I've also just received word that tomorrow afternoon at the Spartan Sports Center, a new main event has just been signed. Hercules Hernandez will step into the ring one on one with "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! That one is sure to be a fight for the ages. Tickets are still available at the box office, but only a few remain. That's tomorrow at 4pm, just down the road at the Spartan Sports Center. I understand that we still have a few minutes left here today, so let's head down to the ring for a stand by contest. =========================================================================================================== Match #5 -The Bounty Hunters (Hunter #1/Hunter #2) and Ken Johnson/Marcus Chase was declared a No Contest after Outside Interference.- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: That's "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer and "Maniac" Matt Borne!! Sawyer and Borne hit the ring and wasted no time decimating all four men. Sawyer leveled Bounty Hunter #1 with a headbutt between the eyes, while Borne grabbed #2 and hurled him over the top rope to the arena floor. They then turned their attention to the other two men. Johnson decided to attempt taking the fight to them, charging across the ring, but Sawyer caught him in a brutal Powerslam. Meanwhile Borne kicked Chase hard in the gut and then dropped him with a piledriver. Sawyer made a move for the referee who quickly exited the ring, and then the two of them showboated as the crowd boo'ed them heartily. Borne then leaned through the ropes and grabbed the ring announcers microphone. Matt Borne: Florida! Florida! Florida! Lucky for you, you made your little tag team tournament before Matt Borne and the Mad Dog got here. Because if you hadn't, we'd be walking out with those belts tomorrow afternoon. But Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock... the time will come soon enough. Buzz Sawyer: TOMORROW! Me and Borne are coming to the Sports Center! You better have us somebody to fight... OR WE'LL FIND SOMEBODY!!! Gordon Solie: It would appear that the dastardly duo of Matt Borne and Buzz Sawyer have arrived here in Championship Wrestling from Florida, and something tells me that nothing will ever be the same. They are saying that they will be at the Spartan Sports Center tomorrow afternoon, and we certainly hope you will be as well. It's a stacked card featuring the first round of the tournament for the Florida Tag Team Titles, as well as several other matches. Bell time is 4pm, and we certainly hope to see you and your family there. Then we'll see you right back here next week. Until then, this is Gordon Solie saying So Long From the Sunshine State!
  5. This crowd is threatening to ruin this....
  6. I met Rob Terry at an indy show several years ago. I stand right around 6 foot, and weigh about 250, and I felt like a small child standing next to him. So I would absolutely buy him using the Heart Punch as a finish, just based on how freaking big he is!
  7. Who gives a shit about sneakers? I thought the idiots losing their mind about Danielson/Suzuki "not having a storyline" was bad.
  8. Blehschmidt replied to Grimmas's topic in Nominees
    I may have told this story elsewhere on the board, but just in case it helps anyone in rating Mr. Fulton. Here is what he was doing years past his prime. In around 2015, I was working as a ring announcer for a very small promotion in a backwoods West Virginia town. The only "name" on the card is Bobby Fulton, and he is scheduled to work in the main event with local heroic babyface as his partner against local heel tag team. He arrives to the show with his young son (somewhere between 10 and 12 if I had to guess) and heads back to the dressing room. As we get closer to show time and the promoter is putting the finishing touches on the card, Bobby looks at us and says "I want to work heel." The promoter tells him "you can't work heel, you are in the advertised main event teaming with our top babyface." Bobby says "It's okay, I'll work twice." The promoter is like "Bobby, you can't work heel once and then as a babyface in the main event." Bobby then starts pulling a second set of gear out of his bag and says "I'll be working under a mask as The Sheik of Syria!" He then proceeds to put on gold tights with a black camel stitched on the ass. Curly toed boots, and a gold mask with a camel in the middle of the forehead. Then he pulls out a matching set of gear for his kid! who will be his manager... The Prince of Syria.. So the second match of the night comes around and here comes Bobby Ful.... The Sheik of Syria with his manager the Prince of Syria, and now he has produced a Syrian flag from somwhere and is waving it around, and he and the boy have on long matching robes as well. They hit the ring to a chorus of boo's, and I get down to announcing them. First I announce Joey America, or whoever the USA themed opponent we picked for him was, and then I announce him. As I finish, out comes the Prayer Rug! and he drops down and begins trying to pray before the match....to a massive chorus of boo's from the backwoods country folks. So he storms around the ring, has the kid cover his ears, and then storms over to me (cause I apparently speak Persian) and tells me to tell the crowd that unless they quiet down he is going to raise the price of gas to ten dollars a gallon! I make that announcement, and of course the boo'ing gets louder. So then he tells me to tell them that if they don't quiet down, he is going to buy up all the businesses in town and send the jobs overseas. Same reaction obviously. So then he says to me "Act like I said something so awful, that you won't repeat it!" So I pushed him away from me and went "NO....ABSOLUTELY NOT....I AM NOT SAYING THAT HERE IN THE...U...S...A...." Which of course got a U.S.A. chant going, and he chased me around and out of the ring before Pearl Harboring his opponent. He then proceeded to have the most god awful ten minute match you've ever seen, using an imaginary foreign object, which he would first hide in his trunks, then when the ref checked those, in his armpit, to the kneepad, to the boot, to the kid at ringside, and on, and on. Before finally hooking the Camel Clutch, letting the guy power out, and then taking the loss. Just the absolute drizzling shits. In closing, all of this was fucking atrocious. But it was the good kind of "only in wrestling" atrocious that just makes you sit back and smile as you take it all in. Not sure if that is at all relevant to what you are doing here. But Bobby Fulton would certainly make my Top 100!
  9. The sheer amount of fucking idiots on Twitter who are bitching that the match is on YouTube or bitching that it "doesn't have a storyline" is astonishing. What the hell is wrong with wrestling fans today? If we'd been given this level of match outside of a PPV 30 years ago, we'd have been high fiving each other in the hallways, not backseat accounting the potential lost revenue of what platform it's on. As for a storyline, it's really amazing what 20 years of the WWE monopoly has done to people. Apparently wrestlers just can't wrestle to see who is the better wrestler anymore. They have to throw coffee at each other, steal each others girlfriends, or have supernatural stuffed animals in order to have a reason to fight. I suppose my opening sentence should have just been "The sheer amount of fucking idiots on Twitter is astonishing."
  10. Oh Shit..... Chicky may well buy his way to the NWA Title with Brody at his side!! Thoughts and Prayers for Tommy Rich Madril is a genius! I hope the fan that touched Woman got thrown out of the building. Poor Adrian.
  11. Florida sends Slick to Continental for Oliver Humperdink
  12. Charlie Platt's plight is the readers joy, as RPG returns to offer his wonderful brand of commentary! and we start off with a bang as Chicky Starr buys out Oliver Humperdink, and absorbs the International House of Humperdink into the Starr Corporation! Khan gets a guarantee of a win, which could prove interesting! then Sato/Gato get a win or get lost match against Magnum and JYD!! Ouch.... 6 Man Southern Streetfight between the Stable and the Landel/Dutch/Dundee trio!!! Yeah, sign me up! This tournament at Halloween Havoc is going to be the single most star studded event in the history of wrestling with the talent you all are sending!! I'd love to be a fly on the wall as the promoters try to agree on finishes!! I love Tommy Rich calling out Thatcher for being half blind and claiming to have seen the chain from half away across the arena! It's shit like that, when heels have just enough "being right" to stand on, that makes them a great heel. Nice win for The Armstron.... The Bullet and Brad Armstrong ahead of their title shot. "Hard Wood" Rich Mahogany is tough to beat. Poor Adrian. Prichard with Sherri is a good fit. "Hey guys, I beat Tom Zenk too!" had me laughing. Cooley teaming with Zenk and Taylor is a nice trio. Looking forward to seeing what happens when Poffo and Street go one on one! Oh Shit!! How did I never think to give Al a mariachi band!! Well, so much for the mariachi band.... LMAO at Slinker trying to ruin Teijo's gimmick right out of the gate by using his shoot name. Who knew the bodyguard game was so cut throat!! Interesting Fiesta Garden with Chicky making a lot of promises and throwing around a lot of money. Al is going to step in the ring finally, will Slink have his back? Oh My, what a main event! Sherri's gang comes out hoping to screw Taylor, gets run off by Zenk, then Cooley takes out Adrian, before flirting with Sherri, while Taylor pins Adonis. Taylor wins the TV Title, and Adonis is going to have an ass chewing coming! Good Stuff as Always! Looking forward to Monday night, and to the 2 Ring Battle Royal next week!
  13. Oh, we start off hot with "that youngster" Carlos Colon getting a title shot against "The Dragon" I can only hope Ricky sends this bum home quickly! I like the pairing of Horner and Allen! Blackwell should find a great home here in the new AWA. Ha! Gagne loses to a greener than grass Putski! What a maroon!! Austin Idol going for the throat early in this Lawler has to beat 3 guys challenge, by bringing El Jefe into the mix. Estrada may just stub a cigar out in the eye of Lawler and end this before it begins!! Idol vs Garvin should be one heck of a fight too. I almost mentioned something about Garvin seeming a little directionless, but this seems like a good little feud for him!! Oh My! Quite a Beauty Shop as Priceless celebrates the big victory by deciding they will celebrate more! Sounds like Brenda may find out the true meaning of the word "tag team" back on the yacht. (Should have sent that line to Gene for Madril!) Wow! Did not expect Adias to beat Hennig! Though I expect this is far from over! See! I knew Colon was a piece of shit! Never liked that guy!! This will lead to some wars though!! Dream Machine cheating his way past Blackjack is going to wipe the smile off Lance's face!! Lawler gets by Estrada, can't wait to see what else Idol has lined up for him!!
  14. I just finished replying on Kevin's topic a little bit ago and was talking about the strength of the competitors he was putting forward in the Havoc tournament, but damn, you aren't about to be overshadowed!! Flair, Nikita, and Harley to start!! That's quite the trio! I like Spivey getting his little moment to explain who he is, where he came from, and why he's here. That does a lot to establish a guy. Good stuff! As Gene said, great job with Bob and Tony. I feel like I'm watching this on the Superstation for sure! Big Pop from me on the "Thousand Yankee Dollars" line as well. Horseman/Doc & Ted segment was fantastic. Classic Horseman. Ted is going to potentially wrestle a lot of matches that night though. He may have just written a check his ass can't cash. Lex and Crew vs Sullivan's bunch is good shit. Looking forward to this leading to some kind of crazy gimmick match. Now you add Savage and Tully to that tournament!! Holy Shit. This thing is loaded!! Good Stuff Man! Enjoy the house show work you put it in too! Those little details are super helpful in making a promotion feel complete.
  15. Action is intense in Mid-South! Dibiase, Murdoch, Bad News, Johnson, and Reed is one hell of a group to be sending in for the tournament! It will be interesting to see who the other NWA members send in to compete. I guess LeDuc is finished, or at the least Jake is all done with him. Be interested to see who put the bounty on Casey if not the Birds. The brawl with the Birds, Casey, Oliver, and Gordy sounds awesome! Great Stuff Man!! Get yourself healed up and hurry back!
  16. (Taped on Wednesday October 6th, 1986 and airing Saturday October 9th) 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. As always, I am Gordon Solie and what an hour of action we have in store for you here today. Two more teams that are set to compete in our upcoming tournament for the Florida Tag Team Championship will be here. First, we will see a familiar manager return to Florida and bring a new team with him, then a bit later we'll see the brother team of Chris and Mark Youngblood. "General" Skandor Akbar has promised to unveil another member of his Devastation Corporation here today, and in our featured contest, world renowned competitor "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will make his presence felt here in the CWF. But first up is a young man who is still in his rookie year in the professional wrestling business, and he has come to Florida hoping to continue his progress and find success. He is the "Beach Boy" Allen West, so let's head to the ring and see what he has to offer. "Pipeline" by The Ventures begins to play in the Sportatorium as the "Beach Boy" emerges from behind the curtain. He is wearing tasseled boots, blue and white swirled tights that kind of have an ocean effect, and a Hawaiian shirt. He has a curly blond mullet and a mustache, and is wearing sunglasses as he heads to the ring. He is quite enthusiastic, slapping hands and flashing the "hang loose" sign at the camera. He ditches the sunglasses and Hawaiian shirt before the bell rings. =========================================================================================================== Match #1 -"Beach Boy" Allen West defeated Dave Kent with a Belly to Belly Suplex- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: An impressive and dominant victory for the rookie, and he joins me now. Allen West, welcome to the CWF. Allen West: Thank You Gordon, and you have no idea how happy I am to be here. I've only been wrestling professionally for about ten months, but getting down here to Florida where the waves are hot and the action is even hotter is a huge step forward for the "Beach Boy!" Win or Lose, I am going to give it my all out here every time, and I am going to keep getting better and better. Before I go I want to thank these people for being behind me, and I want to thank everyone involved with Championship Wrestling from Florida for giving me this chance. West flashes the "hang loose" sign again and heads to the back to a big round of cheers. Gordon Solie: We'll be right back with tag team action. Don't go anywhere. -Commercial Break- Gordon Solie: Welcome back Ladies and Gentleman. Joining me momentarily is going to be the manager for our next tag team, a man who long time fans here in Florida will be quite familiar with, please welcome "Sir" Oliver Humperdink. To a hearty round of jeers, Humperdink comes from the back wearing an obnoxious blue suit and dark sunglasses that contrast nicely with his fluffy red mullet and large beard. Oliver Humperdink: Solie, you better tell all of these idiots to keep it down! I have something to say!! Gordon Solie: Well Mr. Humperdink, please don't let them distract you from saying whatever that is. I'm sure it's very important. Oliver Humperdink: Don't you be condescending to me Solie! You see, I've just returned from a vacation in Puerto Rico courtesy of my friend Chicky Starr, and while I was there I was doing some scouting, and I came across a tag team that is going to dominate Championship Wrestling from Florida. They are two of the meanest, baddest, toughest men that I have ever seen inside of that ring, and they are going to make all of these lazy American teams look like nothing. So right here tonight, let me introduce you to the next sensation in tag team wrestling, and part of The House of Humperdink! Ricky Santana and Miguelito Perez, Los Cubanos!! Ricky Santana and Miguelito Perez come out both wearing black vests, and matching Cuban flag tights. Ricky is looking especially sleazy with his mullet slicked back, and Miguel is just covered in body hair and laughing as the fans boo them unmercifully. Humperdink is quick to meet up with them and is continuing to hype them as they head into the ring. =========================================================================================================== Match #2 -Los Cubanos (Miguelito Perez/Ricky Santana) beat Scott Reese/Willie Sparks after Perez put Sparks out with a DDT- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: Oliver Humperdink may be braggadocios and prone to exaggeration, but he has certainly found quite a tag team with Miguel and Ricky. They worked well together and had no trouble with their opponents here this evening. I do understand that they will be a part of the upcoming tournament for the Florida Tag Team Championship, the first round of which will take place just down the road at the Spartan Sports Center on Sunday October the Seventeenth at Four P.M. Tickets are currently on sale at the box office, and I understand they are moving fast. Be sure to get yours and join us live! We'll be right back with more action. -Commercial Break- As we return from break, we are shown another vignette of Rip Rogers and Chick Donovan. This time we open and they are wearing tuxedos and throwing dice at a craps table inside a casino. Then we are taken to the two of them out on a golf course, and we see Chick sink a putt and the two of them high five. The video then cuts to a swimming pool where we get an eye full of them walking in speedos as all the ladies at the pool stop and stare, and then finally we see them on a beach playing volleyball and we see Rip spike it on the other team and we get another high five. Then the words "Fabulous Blondes.... Coming Soon" fill the screen. We cut back to Gordon Solie and he has once again been joined by Skandor Akbar. Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, my guest at this time is "General" Skandor Akbar. Skandor Akbar: Good Solie! You remembered! Gordon Solie: Yes. Anyway, I understand that you are set to reveal another member of your Devastation Incorporated group here this evening. Skandor Akbar: When I am good and ready Gordon Solie! First I want to talk about Kazaharu! Last week my Oriental Assassin made his presence felt here on this show, and I know that all of the other athletes here in Florida are quaking in their boots! So tell me Gordon Solie, dean of wrestling announcers, what did you think of my Kazaharu? Gordon Solie: I must say he was a very impressive athlete, and that was quite a display he put on. He will certainly be a top contender here in Championship Wrestling. Skandor Akbar: Ha Ha Ha!! That's right! NOW.... allow me to introduce you to the next member of Devastation Incorporated!! Akbar makes a sweeping gesture toward the curtain, and from behind it emerges a man that is known all around the wrestling world. The Sheik! Gordon Solie: Now wait just a minute!! He can't be here! The Sheik is permanently banned from competing in the state of Florida! The Sheik begins to come after Solie, but Akbar steps in between them and begins speaking in a foreign language to him. It takes several tense moments, but eventually The Sheik backs away and appears satisfied. Akbar turns back to Solie and has a half a grin on his face and lets out a laugh. Skandor Akbar: Gordon Solie, you are truly a lucky man. I'm well aware that The Sheik received a life time ban from wrestling in the state of Florida many years ago. I am also aware that if I had let him do to you just now what he intended to do to you, that would have meant the end of my career, his career, and the career of the man we are about to bring out here. So fortunately for you Mr. Solie, while I would have very much enjoyed watching The Sheik bleed you slowly on the floor, I like the color green a whole lot more than the color red. So before I continue, I will allow you to thank me for saving your life. Solie stares at Akbar with disdain for several long moments, then glances over at The Sheik who still looks ready to cut him. Finally Gordon mutters a Thank You. Akbar laughs and then continues. Skandor Akbar: Yes, The Sheik is banned from wrestling in the state of Florida. However, he is not banned from acting in an advisory position in the state of Florida. So, I have procured him a managers license, and he will be acting alongside myself as the counsel for the man who I am about to introduce to the world. Ladies and Gentleman, the state of Florida may have banned The Sheik from competing here and destroying all who cross his path, but they did not, and can not prevent his heir from continuing his legacy. So "General" Skandor Akbar, and The Sheik proudly present to you his nephew, and the newest member of Devastation Incorporated.... Sabu! From behind the curtain comes a young man wearing an all white Keffiyah, gold tights with Sabu written down both legs and a camel on the rear, and white Arabian style pointy boots. When the head wrap is removed he has an unkempt mess of black hair and a mustache. He appears to be filled with anxious energy and looks like a caged animal as he bounces back and forth in his corner as The Sheik appears to be speaking to him very quietly. =========================================================================================================== Match #3 -Sabu w/Skandor Akbar & The Sheik beat Lloyd Daniels after a Flying Legdrop to the back of the head, followed by the Camel Clutch- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: I don't particularly care for this General Akbar, and I absolutely don't agree with The Sheik being back in Florida. But this nephew, this Sabu, is obviously new to the squared circle, but he is already very dangerous and will only continue to improve. That legdrop from the top turnbuckle came from almost half way across the ring and I have to tell you, I have rarely seen anyone cover that kind of distance. The Camel Clutch was an homage, but was totally unnecessary as the opponent was already finished. Very dangerous indeed. Ladies and Gentleman, we will be right back with The Youngbloods in tag team action. -Commercial Break- =========================================================================================================== Match #4 -The Youngbloods (Mark Youngblood/Chris Youngblood) beat Snake Brown/The Spider when Mark pinned The Spider after a Diving Tomahawk Chop- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: The late Jay Youngblood was no stranger to the fans of Florida and the Mid-Atlantic area. Now his younger brothers Mark and Chris are looking to carry on his legacy and the great tradition of Native American professional wrestlers in this area. If what we've seen here today is any indication, they will certainly be able to do both of those things as well as be one of the top seeds in the upcoming tournament for the Florida Tag Team Titles. Again, the first round of that tournament will be happening right here in Tampa at the Spartan Sports Center on Sunday October the Seventeenth at Four P.M. Here is what we already have signed for that event.... First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: The Highwaymen vs Good and Plenty First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: The Glamour Boys vs Representatives of Devastation Incorporated First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: Los Cubanos vs The Youngbloods First Round Match in the Florida Tag Team Title Tournament: The Fabulous Blondes vs The South Pacific Islanders Just Signed: Sabu w/The Sheik and Skandor Akbar vs "Chief" Joe Lightfoot "The Oriental Assassin" Kazaharu vs Florida's own "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal It is going to be quite an afternoon of hard hitting action. Make sure to pick up your tickets at the box office and join us for that big event. We will be right back with "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. -Commercial Break- As we return from break, Gordon is joined by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan who is ready to head into the ring. Gordon Solie: Mr. Duggan, welcome to Championship Wrestling from Florida. Jim Duggan: Mr. Duggan is my father Gordon. You can call me Jim. Gordon Solie: Ha! Well Jim, before you go into competition here today, I just wanted to ask you what brings you to the CWF. Jim Duggan: Well Gordon. I've fought and wrestled all over this great country, and when I heard that professional wrestling was returning to Florida, I knew that I wanted to come down here and fight the best that Florida has to offer. So I jumped in my old pickup truck and I came from California clear across the country to Florida, and here we are. Gordon Solie: Well good luck to you Jim. Jim Duggan: Thank You Gordon. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go beat somebody up! =========================================================================================================== Match #5 -"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan defeated Rick Cohen with a Running Lariat from a Three Point Stance- =========================================================================================================== Gordon Solie: "Hacksaw" Duggan makes short work of the competition here today, and nearly takes his head off with that clothesline. I have to say... Wait a Moment... What's This.... As Duggan is celebrating his victory, another man slides into the ring behind him. He has long curly black hair and a beard. He is wearing black trunks, black knee pads, and black boots. He is also carrying a length of chain, which he uses to clobber Duggan in the back of the head. He starts to wrap the chain around the neck of Duggan, but several referees and enhancement wrestlers rush the ring causing him to bail out to the floor. Gordon Solie: Ladies and Gentleman, that is Hercules Hernandez and so far as I know, he does not work here in Championship Wrestling from Florida. Not only did he assault Jim Duggan, but it appeared he was going to try and strangle him! Let's see if I can.... Gordon gets up from the announce position and walks to where the man who just attacked Duggan is heading away from ringside. Gordon Solie: Mr. Hernandez, would you care to explain why you just attacked "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan from behind and then attempted to.... Hercules grabs the microphone away from Solie mid-sentence and glares at him for several long seconds before speaking. Hercules Hernandez: Because I can little man! You get in my way, and I might just do it to you too! Hernandez shoves the microphone back into the chest of Solie and stomps toward the back to a chorus of boos. Solie looks a bit shaken but dutifully closes the show, as we can see Duggan being helped to his feet in the background. Gordon Solie: Hercules Hernandez makes quite the first impression here in Florida today with an attack on "Hacksaw" Duggan and threats against yours truly. Please be sure to join us right here next week when we will see the debut of the team known as Good and Plenty. I have seen these men in action and I can promise you won't want to miss this one! We will also see "General" Skandor Akbar unveil the Devastation Incorporated tag team that will be part of our tournament, and "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal, a Florida native will be here in action! Then the very next night we will be in the Spartan Sports Center for the first round of the tournament to crown Florida Tag Team Champions and so much more. We hope you'll be there with us that night, and we hope you'll join us right here next week. Until then, I'm Gordon Solie saying So Long from the Sunshine State!
  17. All of this is correct. Masvidal also just has that tough guy charisma where he knows he can beat the shit out of you, and while he isn't necessarily going out of his way to do it, he's going to let you know that he knows. If he can project some of that in a wrestling atmosphere, and if he has learned to pull his shit and make it look destructive (like the knee he hit Jericho with) he could be money. PVZ is a hot chick that can fight, does she really need anything else? I know that probably sounds sexist AF, but it's true, especially when it comes to a wrestling crowd. JDS and Arlovski are both past their prime when it comes to MMA, so they might actually be perfect for a transition to wrestling. I was never big on JDS, but when Arlovski used to come out rocking that fanged mouth guard and was wrecking people in his prime (which in all fairness was 15 years ago) he looked fucking amazing. and as long as they work a multi-man, Masvidal doesn't have to eat the loss. JDS or Arlovski can take the hit, cause there time in MMA is nearly at an end anyway.
  18. Was not expecting Prichard to hook up with Sherri! That's one heck of a way to cement your heel turn.
  19. I didn't get it either, and now I feel like a moron.
  20. CWF will sign Miguel Perez Jr
  21. Danielson/Omega doesn't need the belt. Let Dragon beat Matt Jackson on a Dynamite soon, then take out Cole at the PPV. Meanwhile, Page gets his much deserved win and the end to his current arc. After that do Omega/Danielson to see who's the best in the world, and let Page feud with Miro or Black
  22. Apparently Dan Denton that is on this list, and Dennis Turner who is currently in the free agents list are the same person.
  23. Velvet picks up a nice win in the opener and holds on to the TV Title. My girl Kat Leroux comes out on the losing end of the 6 woman.... Booo!!!! Richter gets the win, but Moretti retains! Richter is going to lose her shit! Moretti is definitely "The Man" around here these days. Very interested to see who can unseat her.
  24. I'm sure the Veer and Shanky singles runs are about to set the world on fire.
  25. Oh Look! Charlie Platt finished up his AA meetings and is back doing commentary, but I'm not sure Solie is the best guy for him to be hanging around with! The "works on televisions" line was brilliant. Lanny Poofer! Only in the 80's. The 6 man intergender tag should be fun. Scotty Armstrong shows some class and some smarts. The 12 man tournament should be good, and the new TV Title should lead to some serious excitment. Great idea! Great coin toss segment! Dusty not giving a shit, and Humperdink freaking out was just perfect. "That's enough talkin' flip dis coin and let's get down to bidness!" popped me. Oh Lord... Gossett on the Fiesta Garden.... Alabama in a Handbasket! got back in the gym LMAO! CHICKY!! Chicky handing out money to the "little people" is a fantastic touch. Slink is a great nickname. Oh man, Buddy has some back up and the Stable may be in big trouble!! Great line by Dutch about stables being full of crap. Big win for the Desperado's over the Nightmares! On too Birmingham!!! Stomper gets the pin on Man, but now Poffo and Adrian want a one on one encounter! That'll be fun! JYD is kicking ass already. Super D's take out the former champs. Cooley has Sherri distracted, and it costs Adrian another one! Sherri isn't happy, and this angle is really interesting, because I truly have no idea where it is going!! The 6 man breaks down into a wild brawl, and this is FAR from over!! SHIT!! I was so excited when I thought The Rich's had won the NWA Titles!! Stupid babyface Dusty Finish!! I hope they kill Armstrong and Thatcher! The Dream takes the win in the Bullrope match, but Humperdink promises revenge, while Khan is out of it. Good luck Oliver!! Great Stuff Gene!
