If anyone is interested in The Spoiler (Don Jardine) and wants to make an offer, I would consider moving him for the right guy.

Texas All Star sends Kat Leroux to Houston Texas All Star sends Doug Vines/Jeff Sword to the USWA for Joel Deaton/Gary Young Texas All Star sends Gary Young to Pacific for John Tatum

I can only assume that Count Plattula isn't nearly as bad as the time Eric Bischoff dressed up as a vampire! Bota's suspension comes as no shock, but I bet Don Carson will have something to say about it!! Ash and the Indian Deathlock get the shot at Scott Armstrong with Bota being out. You have to think Nelson Royal will be waiting in the wings for the winner. The Dynamite Duo! I like it!! If they can finish off Strong and A.O.D. once and for all, they will make a nice new team in the mix for the belts. The Ugandan Death match is going to be interesting for sure. The Bullet never backs down from a challenge, and will fight anyone. But Kamala is a beast, and when only he knows the rules.... That's Tough! Hmmmm.... we might have to see about defending that USWA Southern Jr. Heavyweight Championship down in Texas sometime! Ooof.... The Youngbloods eat a big loss, but Strong/A.O.D. is a big and nasty tag team. The Dynamite Duo are certainly in for a fight. The HELLoween card is STACKED!! Armstrong/Cooley is a great team, and I won't be the least bit shocked if they bring home the gold. Brad vs Lawler... sign me up! Stomper with another title defense in the books! Who is gonna step up and take him out!! On To HELLoween!! Scott Armstrong retains, and like I said before. You have to think Royal is going to want his rematch. and we get a No Contest in the Dynamite Duo vs Strong/A.O.D. match!! I guess this one isn't over yet!! The Candy Man!! No.... Shit! Boo!!! Whoever got him better do a good job!!! Oh Damn, Jimmy Garvin decked Golden and walked out! Johnny V better get his boys on the page. Ha Ha Ha!!! I like the Violent Gentleman more and more all the time! Wow! Kamala wins the Ugandan Death Match. I thought for sure Bob would get his revenge. Bullet manages to walk out, but the damage keeps adding up for Armstrong. HUGE win for The Nightmares! If this is the end of the feud, you have to think they will be looking squarely at the Violent Gentleman and those belts. Good Shit as always Gene!

and The Funker starts the show off the right way! Lawler may have been getting ready to offer up the title shot, but Uncle Terry is going to make sure of it!! Funk vs Lawler inside the cage at WrestleStorm, now that is a freaking main event!! "The Master of Disaster" and his cast are going to be trouble for a lot of folks here in the USWA. I'm sure Sivi will be back for revenge, but until then, I figure Myers will be laying down the hurt. The new Technicians are one heck of a proficient team when it comes to amateur and technical wrestling. Karachi Vice may have a new challenge on their hands real soon. Oh Damn, an Ayala/Morgan Chain match, and the Rich Cousins vs Borne/Oliver in a Tornado Street Fight!! Dicky Slater coming back for the Dream Machine and the Central States Title! Good Lord, WrestleStorm is shaping up to be an incredible, and an incredibly violent show!! Nice debut for Markoff, and an immediate match with Kirchner. Man, USA vs Russia was a money maker everywhere in 80's wrestling! Vin Man and The Magnificent Ones together? This should be interesting!! Nice promo with the Elite! I mean, I hope Gagne gets his ass beat again, but the return of the Central States Tag Titles is a great move with your fantastic tag team division, and the tournament on Thanksgiving should be good stuff! Oh man.... DJ gets the champagne bottle smashed on his head!! If this is the beginning of a feud, I am all about it! These are two of my favorite dudes in the USWA!! Another great show, and I think things are just going to keep getting crazier as we build to WrestleStorm!!

(Taped on Monday October 26th, 1985 and airing Friday Night October 30th) From the beautiful Will Rogers Complex in Fort Worth. This is.... presenting tonight, THE HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR featuring the worlds greatest professional wrestlers from... We cut to Marc Lowrance standing by at ringside. Marc Lowrance: Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Texas All Star Wrestling here on KTVT, and welcome to the Halloween Spooktacular! We have quite a night of action lined up for you here this evening. Not only will we see "Cowboy" Scott Casey defend the All Star Heavyweight Championship against The Spoiler. Not only will we see The Highwaymen defend the All Star Tag Team Titles against the newly reformed Glamour Boys. But since it is Halloween, and since it has the potential to be very violent, we have decided that the Devil's Night Cage match will be our main event. That way the kids can go to bed after the they see the championship matches, because the violence between men like Black Bart and Killer Brooks may be too much for them to handle. Also on the agenda tonight... A member of the security team walks in front of Marc Lowrance and the camera carrying a chair with something attached to it. Just behind where Marc Lowrance is standing, he places it in an open spot in the front row. Marc Lowrance turns to see what is happening, and the camera pans in on the attached piece of paper which reads in bold black letters "Reserved for the Next Texas All Star Champion." Marc Lowrance: Well, I... I have no idea what that is about. Umm, as I was saying. Also on the agenda, we will see Tom Jones and Alexis Smirnoff meet in a No DQ, No Count Out contest, and coming up right now is a ten man tag team contest. Lowrance turns around and looks confusedly at the chair again, as the camera cuts to the entrance way as the music begins for the competitors in the opening contest. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -Lance Von Erich, Brian Adias, The Texas Ranger, Cocoa Samoa, and Jeff Gaylord vs Jack Victory, Steve Regal, Chick Donovan, Jose Estrada, and Mike Sharpe w/Kat Leroux- As with most matches involving this many people, this one was chaotic from the opening bell. It was actually the babyface side that started the brawl though, as Cocoa Samoa went after Estrada as he mockingly did an Indian war dance while covering one eye. Soon all ten men were brawling, and it took nearly two minutes for the referee to get eight of them out of the ring. Things were fairly standard for a while, with both sides tagging in and out like they were supposed too! Chick Donovan took a lot of punishment from the duo of Adias and Von Erich as they made frequent tags to one another and worked him over. Then big Jeff Gaylord came in and rag dolled Donovan around. Unfortunately the inexperience of Gaylord proved to be his undoing as Victory and Regal provoked him from the corner, which allowed Donovan time to recover, thumb him in the eye, and tag out. Then it was Gaylord who got worked on by nearly everyone on the heel side for quite some time. It would be when Estrada was in the ring that Gaylord hit a desperation clothesline and made the hot tag to Cocoa Samoa! Samoa came in very angry and began laying in to Estrada with big chops and headbutts! Steve Regal jumped into the ring, and boom, a big headbutt for him! Then Chick Donovan came in, and wham, a big headbutt for him. Samoa wasn't waiting anymore and charged into the corner... Headbutt for Sharpe! Headbutt for Victory!! Then without thinking he headbutted the next person he saw on the apron, and when Kat Leroux went crashing to the floor, it was like Cocoa Samoa woke up from a trance! He stared down at the fallen woman with a look of total shock on his face, and was saying "I Didn't Mean Too" when Estrada rolled up him up from behind and hooked his tights! The referee never saw the hook of the tights and counted One, Two, Three! Winners: Jack Victory, Steve Regal, Chick Donovan, Jose Estrada, and Mike Sharpe The heels were quick to exit the ring as the babyfaces flooded in. Samoa didn't even seem to care that he'd been pinned, repeating "I didn't mean too" over and over again as his team mates surrounded him. Estrada headed quickly for the back with a big smile on his face. Mike Sharpe was jawing with the fans all the way back to the dressing room, and the Gold Dust Trio all stood over the fallen Kat Leroux staring down at her. All three then shrugged their shoulders and headed for the back, leaving her laying at ringside. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Welcome back to the Halloween Spooktacular and Texas All Star Wrestling! Just before the break we saw Cocoa Samoa accidentally headbutt Kat Leroux, which allowed "El Jefe" Jose Estrada to roll him up for the victory in the ten man tag team match. During the break, Kat Leroux was helped from ringside after being abandoned by the men she arrived with. I am told that she is shaken up, but is expected to be okay. I am also being told that Cocoa Samoa is beside himself in the dressing room, and has vowed revenge on Estrada. Right now, I am told we have pre-recorded comments for The Spoiler and "General" Skandor Akbar. Let's go to those. We cut to Skandor Akbar and The Spoiler in the dressing room. The footage is time stamped a few hours earlier. Skandor Akbar: Tonight is the night Scott Casey! You got lucky once and caught The Spoiler off guard during the Texas Round Up, but if you think that this man will ever allow that to happen again, you are sadly mistaken. You admitted it yourself, that night he was the better man. Well tonight, he will be the better man again. When he locks you in the best version of the Claw that the state of Texas has ever seen, it will be the end of you, and the beginning of the reign of The Spoiler. Akbar laughs as The Spoiler slams his fist into his open palm. Marc Lowrance: Up next we have the No Disqualification, No Count Out contest between "The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff and "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones. These two men wrestled to a Double Count Out last week, and then brawled to the dressing room. Tonight, that won't be an issue. They will fight until their is a winner. Let's head down to the ring. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -"The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff vs "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones - No Count Out/No Disqualification- These two didn't waste time with fancy lock ups and just started hammering one another in the chest with forearms until someone moved. It was Smirnoff who finally took a back step, and Jones made him pay for it, crashing into him with a monster clothesline that sent the big Russian sailing out of the ring. Jones followed him out and the brawl was on! The two men fought all around the ringside area, giving the fans at the Will Rogers Coliseum an up close and personal view of the action. Smirnoff took advantage of the no DQ rule and fired a hard knee into the groin of Jones before tossing him back into the ring. Smirnoff grabbed a chair from the time keepers table and tossed it into the ring as well. Smirnoff went to work on the back of Jones, slamming him on the chair several times, and then driving a knee into his spine while clamping on a rear chinlock. The Russian's assault on the back of "Mr. Ebony" would continue for several minutes with a variety of moves, and would conclude with him slapping on a bear hug in the center of the ring. It looked for a moment like that would be the end for Jones, but as the crowd began clapping, Jones began to pump his fist and fired several punches that loosened the grip of Smirnoff. Alexis wasn't about to have all of his hard work to be for nothing though, he reached down and scooped up the chair. Raising it high above his head, he looked to bring it crashing down onto the skull of Jones, but at the last second, Jones reached up and caught it!! A swift kick to the gut of the big Russian, and the chair was in the possession of "Mr. Ebony!" WHAM! Jones brought the chair crashing down onto the head of Smirnoff, who staggered in a circle around the ring. WHAM! A second shot sent Smirnoff to the canvas, and Jones covered him for the One, Two, Three! Winner: "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones Marc Lowrance: Oh My! A big win for Tom Jones!! Two huge shots to the head from that steel chair, and The Russian Hammer has fallen! While Jones celebrates, we are going to take a quick break, and then we will hear from the All Star Heavyweight Champion, Scott Casey and Sunshine! -Commercial Break- As we return from break, we are taken to another set of footage time stamped several hours earlier. This time it is Scott Casey holding the All Star Heavyweight Title and Sunshine, standing in front of the TASW banner. Sunshine: Akbar, you can run your mouth all you want. But if you try to get involved tonight, don't think for a minute I won't get involved. Scott Casey: Spoiler, I know I got lucky in that Round Up. But I'd just come off the Tag Team Tournament, I had a gash on my head, and I'd been in the ring for quite a while. Tonight, I am coming into that ring fresh, and if you think for even a second that you are stepping in there with the same man you tangled with in that Round Up, then you got another thing coming. This belt means more to me than you can imagine, and you'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands if you want to go home with it tonight. Casey gives a nod to the camera as Sunshine pats him on the shoulder. Marc Lowrance: Both champion and challenger seem ready for the match tonight, but before we get to that one, we have the All Star Tag Team Championship match coming up. Originally this was to be The Highwaymen defending against the S&S Express of Steve Simpson and Joe Savoldi. Then Hickerson and Duncum attacked and severely injured Savoldi, leaving the status of the challenge up in the air. Last week when it looked like Steve Simpson was going to be forced to give up his title opportunity, he was confronted and attacked by The Highwaymen, only for his former partner from the World Class days, Steve Doll to arrive out of nowhere and even up the odds. Commissioner Frank Dusek and the Texas All Star Board of Directors saw an opportunity and made the match, so tonight we see an old rivalry rekindled as The Glamour Boys take on The Highwaymen for the All Star Tag Team Titles. 1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit -The Highwaymen (Bobby Duncum/Phil Hickerson) vs The Glamour Boys (Steve Simpson/Steve Doll)- All Star Tag Team Titles The Will Rogers Coliseum went nuts before the opening bell, as it was Doll and Simpson who attacked The Highwaymen! All four men were brawling right away, as this rivalry goes way back and was really never settled. Simpson managed to remove himself and Hickerson from the ring with a crossbody block that sent them both sailing over the ropes, saving the referee the trouble of getting two of them out of the ring! Doll and Duncum were still firing haymaker at one another, a battle which Duncum was bound to win, so Doll ducked under one and nailed him with a dropkick! From there, this settled into something more resembling a wrestling match as Doll used his speed to keep Duncum off balance and tried several different pinning combinations, but each time Duncum was either able to kick out or at least get the shoulder up. Doll's luck ran out when he attempted a crossbody block, and Duncum caught him. Bobby planted him with a big bodyslam, dead center in the ring, and then dropped an elbow on him. Now it was time for The Highwaymen to go to work. Duncum and Hickerson took Doll into their corner, and started the tried and true method of frequent tags, high impact moves, and constant cheating. Soon enough, Doll was hurting, and Simpson was pissed off and trying to get in the ring, only making things worse for his partner. This went on for quite a while, to the point that Hickerson was almost toying with Doll. Finally it seemed like Phil was done having his fun, and he hooked Doll for the DDT. But instead of dropping Doll immediately, he looked over to Simpson and yelled out "This is for Joe!" Hickerson was quite shocked, when Doll yanked both of his legs out from under him, and then flipped over him into a cradle. So shocked that he barely managed to kick out at 2.9!! Hickerson got quickly to his feet, but it wasn't quick enough, as Doll rolled forward again and tagged in Simpson! Steve Simpson came in angry as hell and started firing punches at Hickerson. Then Duncum came in the ring, but Simpson didn't care and started firing punches at him too. Punch for Phil. Punch for Bobby. Punch for Phil. Punch for Bobby. Back and forth, back and forth, until both of them were wobbling. Simpson then broke the pattern by hitting Duncum, the illegal man, with a dropkick that sent him out of the ring. Turning his attention back to Hickerson, Simpson kicked him in the gut, and planted him with a DDT of his own! He covered, but Hickerson was able to kick out just before 3. Simpson pulled Hickerson back to his feet, and then as the Will Rogers Coliseum roared, be bodyslammed the much larger Hickerson and pointed to the top turnbuckle. With Hickerson prone in the ring, Simpson climbed to the top, raised both hands into the air, and soared across the ring, crashing down onto Hickerson with a huge Flying Body Splash! The referee counted One, Two, Thre..... Bobby Duncum brought one of the All Star Tag Team Titles down hard onto the head of Simpson!! Steve Doll hit the ring and nailed Duncum with a flying tackle and started raining punches down on him, as the referee called for the bell. Winners, by Disqualification: The Glamour Boys of Steve Simpson and Steve Doll Bobby Duncum managed to get out from under Steve Doll, and rolled out of the ring. As Doll went to check on Simpson, Duncum grabbed the foot of Hickerson and pulled him out of the ring. Clutching their titles, The Highwaymen skulked out of the arena to a chorus of boo's. Marc Lowrance: A despicable display by the Tag Team Champions. We'll be right back. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Well Ladies and Gentleman, as we saw before the break, The Glamour Boys had the All Star Tag Team Titles won after Steve Simpson hit that spectacular flying splash on Phil Hickerson. But Bobby Duncum came in with one of the belts, and saved the championship reign of The Highwaymen by purposefully losing the match. Just a lowdown, dirty way.... wait a minute, we have some kind of commotion in the.... The camera cuts to the chair in the front row with the "Reserved for the Next Texas All Star Champion" sign. A member of the security team removes the sign, and waves toward a side door of the arena. A murmur begins in the crowd as all heads turn to where someone is being led into the arena. As more people are able to see the person, a mixture of cheering and booing begins to permeate the Will Rogers Coliseum. When the camera finally gets a glimpse we see a denim jacket and a white cowboy hat. Marc Lowrance: Well Ladies and Gentleman, I can certainly say that I wasn't expecting to see this. It would appear that our mystery guest is former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Dory Funk Jr! As security moves him down through the crowd, it is indeed Dory Funk Jr. Dressed in blue jeans, a white dress shirt, a denim jacket, and a white cowboy hat. He takes the seat that had been sitting empty all night and settles in. Marc Lowrance: It would appear that Mr. Funk has arrived to see All Star Heavyweight Champion Scott Casey take on The Spoiler. Here comes The Spoiler and Skandor Akbar, let's head to the ring.... 1 Fall, 60 Minute Time Limit -"Cowboy" Scott Casey w/Sunshine vs The Spoiler w/"General" Skandor Akbar- All Star Heavyweight Title As soon as these two locked up it became obvious that this was going to be a very physical showdown. The lock up itself was a struggle as both men struggled to get control, but ultimately it would be the height advantage of The Spoiler that would allow him to power Casey back into a corner. The referee attempted to get a clean break, but Spoiler landed a big haymaker as he was being pushed out. Casey apparently didn't feel it though, as he came out of the corner firing punches around the head of the referee who was pushing Spoiler away! Soon both men were exchanging bombs in the center of the ring, trying to see who would be the first to fall down! Spoiler was the first to stop throwing punches, instead gouging the eyes of the champion, and then grabbing a headlock takeover. The masked man was relentless, working on the head and neck of Casey for the next portion of the match with the headlock, a twisting chinlock, and by just driving several elbows into the side of Casey's head. Spoiler then whipped Casey into the far turnbuckle and followed him in with a big clothesline. Spoiler grabbed the arm and scaled the ropes, looking to walk across and come crashing down on the head, but instead Casey jerked on the arm, and The Spoiler landed groin first on the top rope! As The Spoiler was straddling the top rope, Casey blasted him with a clothesline that sent him out to the floor! The champion took the opportunity to catch his breath and recover as the referee counted the Spoiler, who got back into the ring just before the count of twenty. The two men locked up again, and this time it was Casey who took the advantage, surprising his opponent with a bodyslam! As The Spoiler writhed in pain, Casey clamped on a rear chinlock and it was his turn to go to work. Casey used the chinlock, which he converted into a surfboard to work on the neck and back of the masked man. He then dropped him with another bodyslam and dropped an elbow for a count of two. Casey went for a suplex, but Spoiler was able to block it, and took Casey over with a suplex of his own! As the match continued on, the momentum continued to switch back and forth with both men hitting several high impact moves, and both getting several near falls on their opponent. Just past the twenty two minute mark, The Spoiler was in control, blasting away at Casey with big time right hands in the corner. Spoiler whipped Casey into the ropes and went for a big clothesline, but Casey was able to duck under it, and on the rebound caught Spoiler with a cross body block that sent both of them to the canvas! However, the referee had been too close to the action, and Casey's boot caught him in the head, so there was no one to make the count!! Casey got back to his feet, and when The Spoiler started to get up, Casey nailed him with the Bulldog! With the Spoiler down and out, Casey went over and began trying to revive the referee. Skandor Akbar sensing an opportunity quickly rolled into the ring, and began fumbling with something in his pocket. He came to stand just behind Casey and after a few moments of fiddling with whatever he pulled out of his pocket yelled out "HEY CASEY!" As Scott Casey was turning around, Akbar began to move his hands, but then Sunshine came from out of nowhere and tackled Akbar!! This was a lucky break for Casey, as Akbar's fireball missed him by inches!! As Sunshine was throwing punches at Akbar who was scrambling to get out of the ring, Casey shook the referee again, who finally started to move. Noticing that The Spoiler was starting to stand back up, Casey bounced off the ropes, and hit him with another Bulldog! He then covered him as the groggy referee counted One, Two, Three! Winner, and Still All Star Heavyweight Champion: "Cowboy" Scott Casey Marc Lowrance: All Right! After a chaotic ending that saw fire thrown in the ring, and Sunshine beat up Skandor Akbar, Scott Casey has retained the All Star Heavyweight Title! As The Spoiler and Akbar retreat to the dressing room, Sunshine enters the ring and hands Scott Casey the All Star Heavyweight Title belt. He raises it high for everyone to see and is getting quite a round of applause from everyone in the Will Rogers Coliseum. Well, everyone except for one man. Dory Funk Jr sits with his arms crossed and an expression of disinterest on his face. After several moments he gets up and gives a final look at Casey, before shaking his head in disgust and heading for the exit of the building. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, we are back here on KTVT with the Texas All Star Halloween Spooktacular! As you can see, the cage is being put up for our main event of the evening. While that is getting finished, let's head to pre-recorded comments from "Killer" Tim Brooks and The Devil's Duo. We are taken to a shaky video that is time stamped several hours earlier and is from the parking lot of the Will Rogers Coliseum. As we fade in, we see three Harley Davidson motorcycles comes riding into the lot and they roll to a stop in front of the camera. The three leather clad men shut the bikes off, and Tim Brooks removes his helmet and speaks. Killer Brooks: Black Bart! You've been doing a whole lot of yelling and screaming, but inside that Devil's Night Cage, the only yelling and screaming you're going to be doing is as me and these boys tear your flesh across the mesh of that cage. You've been costing me time and money since the day I stepped foot here in Texas All Star Wrestling, it stops tonight. Tonight inside the Devil's cage, I end you Bart! Doug Vines and Jeff Sword both have huge grins as they stand behind Brooks who has begun to laugh. Marc Lowrance: As the last wall of the cage is being secured, I am told that we are going live backstage where the opponents are standing by.... We cut backstage to where Black Bart and Mike Miller are both dressed for action. Miller is standing calmly, as Bart is pacing angrily back and forth. Mike Miller: Brooks, Vines, Sword, in just a couple of minutes... Black Bart: IN JUST A COUPLE MINUTES BROOKS, I AM GOING TO GET YOU INSIDE THAT DADGUM CAGE, AND I AM GONNA BEAT YOU WITH IN AN INCH OF YOUR STUPID LIFE!! Miller looks at Bart to make sure he isn't going to get interrupted again, then continues. Mike Miller: As I was trying to say, in just a couple of minutes the fight begins. I hope you boys are ready cause we are Big.... Miller slaps Bart on the shoulder. Mike Miller: Mean..... Miller slaps himself on the chest. Mike Miller: and Dirty.... "Let's go kick some asses boys, I got places to be....." The man behind the voice, Dick Slater walks into the shot and motions for Miller and Bart to follow him. Miller smirks and Bart grabs his cowboy hat, as all three men head for the ring! -Commercial Break- Until 1 Team is Eliminated, TV Time Remaining -Black Bart, "Mean" Mike Miller, and "Dirty" Dick Slater vs "Killer" Tim Brooks, Doug Vines, and Jeff Sword - Devil's Night Cage Match- As you'd expect this was a technical wrestling classic full of wristlocks and Greco Roman wrestling.... By which I mean, all six men were brawling as soon as all six men were inside the cage. Bart and Brooks went for each other immediately, leaving Miller and Slater to pair off with The Devil's Duo. The first minutes were absolute chaos as fists were flying, people were being tossed into the cage, faces were being scrubbed across the cage, heads were getting stomped with cowboy and motorcycle boots. By the time five minutes had elapsed, everyone but Mike Miller and Doug Vines was bleeding, t-shirts were torn, and somehow Jeff Sword was missing a boot. The first elimination came about three minutes later when Slater and Sword were both on the top rope and Slater was trying to shove Sword out of the cage. Sword had a handful of Dick's hair, and Slater had him by the belt and the neck. Each man was inching up the cage step by step, and finally Slater had Sword teetering half in and half out of the cage. Slater was raining elbows into the back of his head with one arm, and still trying to hoist him out with the other. In the ring Vines was trying to get over to help his partner, but Mike Miller was having none of it. Slater got Sword so that he was pretty much laying across the top bar of the cage, and as Sword was scrambling to find something to hold on too, Slater headbutted him right between the eyes, and Sword took a brutal fall off of the cage, that saw him land on, and bounce off of the time keepers table. Jeff Sword is Eliminated. Bart and Brooks were virtually ignoring all of the other action in the cage, over in a corner by themselves, punching, gouging, choking, and biting each other bloody. Neither man willing to give an inch, the momentum constantly shifting. Meanwhile, with Sword gone, Vines found himself in a world of hurt as both Slater and Miller were now beating on him. Right hand from Miller, right hand from Slater, one from Miller, one from Slater, and on and on, until Vines was out on his feet. Then Slater and Miller drug him over to the turnbuckle and sat him up on it. Both men climbed up with him, and they pulled him to his feet. They seemed intent to dump him out of the cage backwards, but Jeff Sword was somehow back to his feet and shoved past officials and medical personnel and began climbing to try and save his partner! Slater quickly climbed over the cage to intercept Sword, and as Miller went to shove Vines out, Doug had enough left in him to grab Miller by the hair to save himself!! Slater was hanging on the outside of the cage, exchanging blows with Jeff Sword, while Vines was sitting on top of the cage wildly throwing punches at Mike Miller who was standing on the top rope. Vines managed to stagger Miller, and then used one of his feet to kick him, which sent Miller sailing backwards to the mat. Vines then turned his attention to Slater who was now stuck outside the cage hanging on with one hand, using his other to punch the still half loopy Sword. From inside the cage, Vines held on to the top of the cage with both hands, and with one foot on the top rope, used his other leg to start kneeing the fingers of Slater that were holding onto the cage!! More stunned than hurt, Slater let go and slid down the cage to the floor! Dick Slater is Eliminated Mike Miller got up and looked over to see Bart and Brooks still fighting in the corner. He then headed back into the corner where Vines had just dropped Slater off the cage. Vines turned around just as Miller got there, and Miller simply yanked his foot, causing Vines to fall and crotch himself on the top rope! Miller grabbed him by the head and smashed his face into the cage several times, and then left him straddled on the top rope, being held up by the cage as he climbed onto the turnbuckle behind him. Miller reached down and grabbed two handfuls of Doug Vines hair, and basically forced Vines to start climbing or have his hair torn out. Eventually both men were standing on the top rope, and Miller was just blasting Vines repeatedly into the cage until his face was just pouring blood. Miller braced himself as best he could, grabbed Vines around the waist and lifted up as much as he could, getting him about half way out of the cage. Vines swung one of his legs over to try and get some balance and fired a couple of week punches at Miller, but a big right hand from Miller sent Vines over the edge and he was left dangling, holding on with both hands. Miller then punched the cage where his face was, and that caused him to let go and fall to the ground. Doug Vines is Eliminated. While Miller was taking care of Vines, Black Bart and Killer Brooks had finally begun to ascend the turnbuckle in an attempt to eliminate one another. Both men were bleeding like faucets, the corner where they had been fighting looked like a murder scene. Each had a handful of the others hairs as they attempted to climb the turnbuckles, and when they got to the top rope, they were pretty much taking turns smashing each other face first into the cage to see who would fall first. When neither man fell, they again began jostling for position as they tried to haul one another over the top. Bart managed to get Brooks into a prone position, bridging the corners of the cage, but Brooks got a death grip on the beard of Bart and was biting him from up there, causing Bart to climb up and swing a leg over to take away his leverage. A right hand from Bart sent Brooks over the side, but Brooks grabbed onto the leg of Bart, nearly yanking him out of the cage. It was around this time that Mike Miller climbed up the turnbuckle on that side of the ring after eliminating Vines and took inventory of what he saw. Brooks was dangling out of the cage, one hand holding onto the steel, one holding onto Bart's leg. Bart was now dangling, holding on by one hand and a knee of all things! His other hand was holding the side of the cage, and Brooks had hold of his other leg. So "Mean" Mike Miller reached down... ..and shoved Black Bart the rest of the way out of the cage!! Fortunately for Bart, the hand holding the side of the cage caused him not to plunge clear from the top of the cage to the floor, instead he kind of rotated, crashed into the side of the cage, and then fell to the floor. Black Bart is Eliminated Killer Brooks was nearly torn from the side of the cage when Bart fell, but instead was now dangling by one arm. With a look of total confusion on his face, and a chorus of boo's ringing out across the Will Rogers Coliseum, Brooks slowly looked up to see Mike Miller extending a hand. After a moments hesitation Brooks reached up and took it, and Miller hoisted him up so that Brooks could pull himself into the cage. The two men stood on the top rope looking at one another for a long moment, and then Miller said something the camera couldn't quite pick up. Brooks still looked absolutely confounded, and then looked even more so, as Miller swung himself out of the cage, and climbed down to the floor to nearly deafening boo's. Mike Miller is Eliminated "KILLER" TIM BROOKS IS THE WINNER OF THE DEVIL'S NIGHT CAGE MATCH Mike Miller dropped down off the cage next to the un-moving form of Black Bart. He looked down at him, shook his head in disgust, and then headed for the dressing room as he was pelted with all kind's of trash. Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, I don't know what to say other than please join us next week for more Texas All Star Wrestling, where we will hopefully get an explanation for this. Until then, Happy Halloween everyone. Be Safe.

It will be very interesting to hear what Jim Herd thought of Money in the Bank 2014

I'll second that 100% Last night when I posted I just mentioned it being stiff. I should have also mentioned it being excellent.

Holy Shit. The Walter/Dragunov match from this weeks NXT UK has to be the stiffest match ever contested under a WWE banner.

Loser has to wear one?

God Damn It. I guess we all know that Straight Up, Everybody Dies!! But this one sucks a whole lot. We'll miss you, you crazy bastard Rest in Peace Tracey

Another week, and RPG has me laughing from the get go.... "For pete's sake, can we ever open a show without you coming out here to interject something?" Wonderful! Heyyy!! Welcome to the USWA! Thatcher and Jarrett laying down the law as pretty much everyone but the fans are barred from the building in Huntsville! Awesome segment with Garvin/Valiant/Fuller/Golden/Platt/RPG. This whole group could explode at any moment, and with Platt "unintentionally" egging them on, they keep getting closer. I hope Precious is going to show up here at some point to send things over the edge! Nice win for Royal, and the image of Nelson vs Bota is hilarious to me as the most plain wrestler ever takes on a Witch Doctor. Sorry, had to share. Digging the pairing of Austin and Hamilton. Though I think they need a team name! Big win for The Candy Man in the main event! Evan an attempted sneak attack by the dastardly Big Steelphoon couldn't stop the dancing! On to Huntsville!! Even with half the roster barred from the building, shit is getting crazy early as A.O.D. picks up a win from outside interference, and Bota burns Nelson Royal with a fireball!! Good Lord, then two matches later, a referee gets fireballed!! I have a feeling that Bota will be getting fined or suspended!! We aren't even at intermission yet! OH YEAH! Sawyers vs Nightmares in the cage! Things are gonna get bloody in Birmingham!! Cooley and Armstrong become #1 contenders, and that should lead to an exciting match or feud with whoever ends up with the tag belts. Love this team. Candy Man picks up another win! Another title shot just might be in his future!! Somehow the main event ends up being the least insane thing to happen since the opener, and The Gentleman retain! VG vs Brad/Cooley should be awesome!

All of you liberal snowflakes need to sit back and realize that the patriots in NXT are trying to kick start herd immunity. Road Dogg and Drake are going to save America

Exactly This. I wasn't calling for them to build the company around Ricochet. I was simply saying that if you can't find a place for a guy that can do the shit he can do, then something is wrong with the company, not the wrestler.

Ricochet is a fantastic example. He is well put together, he's a decent enough looking dude, he is perfectly competent when it comes to the basics of wrestling, and on top of that he can do amazing shit that should be bringing people to their feet every single time he does them. Sure, he isn't the world's greatest talker, but there are certainly ways around that. I'm not claiming he is the next Hulk Hogan, Rock, or Steve Austin. But Holy Shit, all of that rolled up into a single package and they can't even come up with enough to get the guy on TV most weeks? Whether it is incompetent booking, the snap judgments of old men like Vince and Dunn, or the reliance on a writing team to come up with something for wrestlers, and then taking it out on the wrestler when the writers don't have anything for them.....the WWE is broken. Unfortunately for us, the fan who liked it how it was, they now have enough money to tread water and change nothing until long after we are dead, unless something happens to force them to change. I often thought that if Fox cancelled Smackdown, it might force their hand, but most likely it would just end up on USA.

The problem isn't so much the wrestlers staying in the business that long. The problem is the WWE being so deathly afraid of making new stars that the same people have been on top for nearly twenty years, leading to the reason why so many of the storylines just feel stale and repetitive, thus leading to the whole company feeling stagnant. Rick Rude only being there for 3 years is a crazy stat, and while he certainly could have had more of a run, the company didn't really miss him when he left, because they made new stars. But ever since Vince got all emotionally scarred cause Brock Lesnar decided that he wasn't the end all, be all of things to do, we've had to endure years of start stop pushes, cutting people off at the knees, and making sure that the brand was the only thing that mattered. Add in the wrestler hoarding that they've done over the last couple of years, and they are now sitting on what could easily be the greatest mass of talent ever assembled under one roof, and yet they still insist on having the same guys on television that have been there for 20 years. This company is doomed to mediocrity until Vince dies, or gets over his "what if they leave me" issues.

The Borne/Oliver vs Rich Cousins feud just keeps building, and when it eventually blows off in a gimmick match, it is going to be a bloodbath. Grapplers finishing the Lonestars with the Doomsday Device is about a definitive a statement as they could possibly make. Though I'm still not sure they want to keep knocking on the door of the L.O.D. Kai's Guys would have ended Colon if not for Ayala.... Boo!!! Great Main Event! Well written, and it really seemed like Champagne had a chance. Hoping this isn't the end for Gerry. You've done an amazing job building the character. I guess Lawler has a date with The Funker now. That should be a wild one!

I'm sure that they are fully aware of that fact. It's just that somehow in America, all of these insane people have come to the conclusion that masks and Covid are actually a left wing plot to strip them of their freedom, and that is just the beginning of the rabbit hole.

Grapplers are fired up, and I wouldn't wanna be the Lone Stars right now! Oh Yeah! I've never cared for Carlos Colon, send Ripper Morgan to take his head!! Oh No! The CEO's are under investigation! This should be interesting! Mike George gets Gagne one on one! I hope he smacks little Greggy right back to Minnesota! Flowers/War Cloud 2 should be good! Sunny is pissed, and Flowers is playing it just right to make him even madder. Well, well, well.... Karachi Vice wants to mix it up with some boys from Texas! We'll just have to see who is available! Grapplers/Lone Stars is going to be one heck of a fight! Another fantastic Dream Machine promo! You've got this guy to the point, that when Dick Slater shows back up and whips his ass, the roof is going to come off the place! Big Win for the Vin! Then that happened..... poor Vin! You have done such a good job turning Gerry Morrow into Champagne that I am actually rooting for him to get the job done with Lawler. Awesome, awesome main event. Kirchner looks like a totally credible challenger, and still comes out of it totally viable. Meanwhile the reign of St. Clair continues and the TV Title continues to look like a very important prize. Well Done. Great show! Looking forward to Louisville!!

(Taped on Monday October 19th, 1985 and airing Friday Night October 23rd) From the beautiful Will Rogers Complex in Fort Worth. This is.... Ninety minutes of ringside excitement featuring the worlds greatest professional wrestlers from... We cut to ringside where Marc Lowrance is standing by with a microphone. Marc Lowrance: Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Will Rogers Coliseum and to Championship Sports. We are here on KTVT for another exciting edition of Texas All Star Wrestling! I am your host Marc Lowrance, and as we head toward next week and the big Halloween Spooktacular, we have quite a night of action lined up for you! Our main event is a huge six man tag pitting Brian Adias, Lance Von Erich, and The Texas Ranger against the trio of "The New Jersey Heartthrob" Jack Victory and The Fabulous Blondes of Steve Regal and Chick Donovan. Also in action we are going to see the tag team of Black Bart and "Mean" Mike Miller. "El Jefe" Jose Estrada will be in singles action against "Chief" Joe Lightfoot. "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones will go one on one with "The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff, and right now we are going to open the show with the Texas All Star Heavyweight Champion Scott Casey in action! 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Scott Casey w/Sunshine vs The Bounty Hunter- Non-Title The masked Bounty Hunter was looking for his shot at glory tonight as he Pearl Harbored the Texas All Star Champion before the bell rang. The masked man controlled the opening minutes of the match attempting to wear down Casey with big shots to the back and by locking on the bearhug. But he went to the proverbial well one too many times, locking on the bearhug yet again, and this time Casey hit a bell clapper that got him to release the hold. That was all Casey needed, and the Champion took over on offense, and that was it for The Bounty Hunter. Casey took a couple of minutes to wear the masked man down, and then put him down with the Bulldog for the One, Two, Three. Winner: "Cowboy" Scott Casey in 6:11 Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, I am here with your winner and All Star Heavyweight Champion, Scott Casey along with the lovely Sunshine. Scott, first of all, congratulations on your victory in the Round Up and on becoming the Texas All Star Champion. Scott Casey: Thank You Marc. I have to tell you, I've been a lot of places in this sport, but bringing home this belt right here in Texas. Man, it doesn't get any better than that. Marc Lowrance: Now, I know you were watching last week when Skandor Akbar and The Spoiler were out here making the case that The Spoiler deserved the first shot at your title. The Texas All Star Board of Directors was in agreement with that statement, and you will defend the All Star Heavyweight Title against The Spoiler next week at the Halloween Spooktacular. Your thoughts? Scott Casey: Well, I think that The Spoiler absolutely deserves a shot at this belt. It's no secret that he dominated the Round Up. What did he eliminate, like five guys? He had that Claw locked on me and I was real close to going out, but if he thinks that I got lucky, that me winning that match and this title was some kind of fluke.... Well, next week I will be more than happy to show him what Scott Casey is made of. Sunshine: Skandor Akbar! I'll be at ringside, and if you even think about trying to get involved, don't think I won't knock you on your butt! A big pop goes up as Casey and Sunshine head out of the arena and the show goes to commercial. -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Welcome back to Texas All Star Wrestling right here on KTVT. Up next we have quite the clash as the big Russian, Alexis Smirnoff steps into the ring with "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones! This should be a good one. 1 Fall, 20 Minute Time Limit -Alexis Smirnoff vs "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones- This one started off with several collar and elbow attempts, but neither man was able to get an advantage. Smirnoff then called for a Test of Strength, but soon realized he was outmatched and kicked Jones in the guts. After that things devolved into a back and forth brawl that saw both men in control, but neither with a clear cut advantage. The end came when Jones blasted Smirnoff with a huge clothesline that sent the big Russian out to the floor. "Mr. Ebony" took a moment to flex his muscles to the delight of the crowd, but that allowed Smirnoff to grab his leg and drag him out of the ring. The two men then began to exchange punches and soon were wrestling on the floor, totally ignoring the twenty count of the referee. Even as the bell rang signalling that both had been counted out of the ring, they continued to slug it out, all the way back to the dressing room! The Match Was Ruled a Double Count Out in 8:41 Marc Lowrance: Both men were counted of the ring, and I don't know if the camera can still see them, but it would appear that they are still trading punches back by the concession stands! Security is headed that way, and while they get this taken care of, we will take a quick break! Don't go anywhere, we will be right back with more Texas All Star Wrestling! -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Okay folks, Smirnoff and Jones have been separated, but things could be wild again in a minute, here comes the team of "Mean" Mike Miller and Black Bart!! 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -"Mean" Mike Miller/Black Bart vs Dave Kent/Jack Spade- This enhancement talent was not paid enough for the evening. Bart and Miller hit the ring like they were the Road Warriors, and ran these two kids over with a fury. Jack Spade got it easy, as Miller kicked him in the face as soon as he got in the ring, and then Bart grabbed two handfuls of hair and chucked him out of the ring where he landed mostly on his neck. Kent must have come in from Idaho, because he sure saw a lot of potatoes as Bart and Miller punched him back and forth across the ring. Finally Miller scooped him in a slam, walked him around the ring and planted him. Bart then scaled the ropes and came down with his Texas Trash Compactor. The referee could have counted to a thousand. Winners: "Mean" Mike Miller and Black Bart in 2:19 Marc Lowrance: I am here with your... Black Bart: IF WE GOT THE GUTS? IF WE GOT THE DADGUM GUTS! Bart looks like he is ready to blow a fuse, and Miller is just shaking his head with a grin on his face. Marc Lowrance: I assume you are speaking of the... Black Bart: I GOT NO TIME FOR YOUR FANCY TALK LOWRANCE! BROOKS! YOU WANNA FIGHT INSIDE A DEVIL CAGE! I'LL FIGHT YOU! I'LL FIGHT THE DEVIL! I'LL FIGHT THE DADGUM CAGE IF I HAVE TOO!! WE ACCEPT!! Marc Lowrance: Gentleman, there are three of them, and only two of you. Bart's eyes nearly bulge out of his head, but Miller holds up a hand, and then pulls the microphone his way. Mike Miller: Marc Lowrance, it just so happens that a damn fool is going to be passing through Texas next week, and he'd like nothing more than to beat up Tim Brooks and his flunkies inside that cage. So it will be three on three, and those boys are in for a real bad night. Marc Lowrance: Would you care to shed some light on who that is? Mike Miller: That'd just take the fun out of it Marc. C'mon Bart Black Bart: BROOKS! VINES! SWORD! NEXT WEEK IN THAT DEVIL CAGE, WE'RE GONNA BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU! -Commercial Break- As we return from commercial, we see Frank Dusek standing next to Marc Lowrance. Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, the Commissioner of Texas All Star Wrestling, Mr. Frank Dusek! Frank Dusek: Thank You Marc. I don't want to take up too much time here this evening. I just have a few announcements concerning next weeks Halloween Spooktacular. First of all, after what we saw just a little while ago, I am ordering a rematch between Alexis Smirnoff and Tom Jones. This time there will be No Count Out and No Disqualification. I am also still awaiting word on the condition of Joe Savoldi after the attack by The Highwaymen last week. If he can't compete, replacement opponents will be named to compete for the All Star Tag Team Titles. Lastly, and probably against my better judgement, I am sanctioning the Devil's Night Cage Match. Black Bart, Mike Miller, and a partner of their choosing will take on Killer Brooks, Vines, and Sword inside the cage with the rules being that you must throw the opposing team out of the cage to win the match. Thank You Everyone. Now let's get back to the action. 1 Fall, 20 Minute Time Limit -"Chief" Joe Lightfoot vs "El Jefe" Jose Estrada- Estrada came strutting to the ring again, chewing on a cigar, wearing sunglasses, this time wearing a gold robe with El Jefe emblazoned across the back in black letters. He told the ring attendant not to bother taking it to the back, because this wouldn't take long. Joe Lightfoot attempted to open the match with a handshake, and got slapped in the face for his trouble. That set the tone for the match as an angry Lightfoot came at Estrada, but Estrada was a step ahead, and when he wasn't, he cheated. At around the ten minute mark, Lightfoot reversed a waistlock and pushed Estrada into the ropes. Lightfoot went for a roll up, but Estrada managed to halt the momentum by grabbing a huge handful of trunks. The referee didn't see it and counted the One, Two, Three! Winner: "El Jefe" Jose Estrada in 10:39 As Lightfoot was complaining to the referee about the trunks being pulled, Estrada rolled out of the ring and put his cigar back in his mouth and put his sunglasses back on. He began parading around the ring and came to a stop when he got to the timekeepers table on which was laying the headdress of Lightfoot. Estrada reached down and nonchalantly plucked a feather from it, he was admiring the feather when Lightfoot reached out from between the ropes and grabbed Estrada by the head with malice in his eyes. Being pulled into the ring with an irate Lightfoot, Estrada did the unthinkable..... Marc Lowrance: OHHH!!!! NOOO!! Estrada yanked the cigar out of his mouth and stuck it right into the face of Lightfoot. The camera angle made it hard to tell for sure, but it looked like he may have got him in the eye. The way that Lightfoot let go of Estrada and began clutching his face, crying out in pain also gave that indication. A herd of security and officials ran down to the ring and surrounded Lightfoot. Marc Lowrance: Medical personnel, security, and Texas All Star officials have all hit the ring to check on Joe Lightfoot. I can't say for certain, but it seems like that cigar may have gone into his eye. It definitely went into his face. Here comes his friend Cocoa Samoa, and folks, let's take a break while....OH.... Estrada was sauntering up the aisle as people continued to pour into the ring. The Texas fans were pelting him with garbage and screaming obscenities, and as Cocoa Samoa walked by the camera caught Estrada saying something that couldn't be picked up over the booing. Whatever it was caused Samoa to pivot in the aisle and blast Estrada with a big right hand! The two of them began to brawl, and several of the security people in the ring were quickly rushing up the aisle to break up that fight. Marc Lowrance: We'll uh....we'll be right back..... -Commercial Break- We return from break and Marc Lowrance is standing at ringside. Marc Lowrance: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome back to Texas All Star Wrestling. Just before the break, we saw a terrible incident as Jose Estrada stuck his cigar into the face of Joe Lightfoot. As we went to commercial, you saw Cocoa Samoa and Estrada get into it as well. Here is what I know. Samoa and Estrada have been separated by security. Samoa is currently en route with Joe Lightfoot to get medical attention, as apparently the cigar did strike Lightfoot in the eye. We hope to have an update on his condition for you next week. Speaking of getting updates on the condition of someone, I am hoping we can get clarity on the condition of "Jumpin" Joe Savoldi of the S&S Express, as I welcome at this time, his partner Steve Simpson. Steve Simpson comes out to join Lawrance, but he is dressed in blue jeans and a t-shirt, not to wrestle. Marc Lowrance: Steve Simpson, last week you competed in a highly competitive match against Phil Hickerson of The Highwaymen and you won that contest securing yourself and Joe Savoldi a shot at the All Star Tag Team Titles next week at our Halloween special. However, after the match we all saw the heinous attack that The Highwaymen perpetrated, spike piledriving your partner onto a steel chair. So the question on everyone's mind is, Will the S&S Express be able to compete for the All Star Tag Team Championship next week? Steve Simpson: Well Marc, the unfortunate answer to that question is No. The injury to Joe's neck is going to keep him out of the ring until after the New Year. A chorus of boo's breaks out in the arena, as Bobby Duncum and Phil Hickerson come strolling down the aisle. They are dressed in their long coats and cowboy hats, and have the All Star Tag Team Titles slung over their shoulders. They head right over to Lowrance and Simpson. Marc Lowrance: Gentleman, we have had plenty of chaos here tonight, we don't need this. Simpson has both hands balled into fists and looks ready to fight, but The Highwaymen both seem very...relaxed. Bobby Duncum: We ain't come out'chere to fight. Ya unna'stan that? Nah, we come out'chere to tell ya, we're real sorry. Phil Hickerson: That's right Simpson. We came out here to apologize for busting up your partners neck and costing you a shot at these belts. We lost our tempers, and we made a mistake. Bobby Duncum: Yep. A mistake. Phil Hickerson: We should have never done what we did to Joe. Bobby Duncum: Nope. Phil Hickerson: Because Joe Savoldi wasn't the scrawny, sawed off, little runt that beat me. That was you! Bobby Duncum lashes out and blasts Simpson in the face with a big right hand, and the brawl is on. Simpson holds his own for a moment, but soon the two on one advantage starts to get the best of him. But then in the background, someone enters the ring and runs across it, before launching themselves over the top rope, a blur of blonde hair and black leather. The figure crashes into both of The Highwaymen and Steve Simpson, sending all of them crashing to the ground. As the figure gets to their feet we see it is a man with long blonde hair wearing a leather jacket. When his face is visible to the crowd, an eruption of cheers goes up. The man reaches down and pulls a grinning Steve Simpson to his feet. He then turns toward the camera and we see that Steve Doll has arrived to help his old partner. Together, The Glamour Boys begin laying the fists to Hickerson and Duncum, and soon The Highwaymen are retreating toward the dressing room, but Doll and Simpson aren't making it easy, blasting them all the way out of the arena! -Commercial Break- Marc Lowrance: Folks, it is absolutely chaotic here at the Will Rogers Coliseum tonight! We just saw Steve Doll arrive from out of nowhere to help his former partner Steve Simpson fight off their old rivals from the AWA World Class days, The Highwaymen! Joe Lightfoot has had a cigar stuck in his face courtesy of El Jefe. Tom Jones and Alexis Smirnoff fought all over the building. Black Bart and Killer Brooks have accepted the Devil's Night Cage match and promise a surprise partner, and we still have six man tag team action for our main event! I don't know how much more I can handle this evening, so let's head to the ring! 1 Fall, 45 Minute Time Limit -Brian Adias, Lance Von Erich, and The Texas Ranger vs "The New Jersey Heartthrob" Jack Victory and The Fabulous Blondes (Steve Regal/Chick Donovan)- A fairly chaotic match from the opening bell as Victory and the Blondes attacked before the bell and it was a pier six brawl from the get go. The referee finally got things under control and we settled into a standard six man tag, but the heels had Lance cut off early and really worked him over. Things looked pretty bleak for the Von Erich cousin, but after nearly eight minutes of getting beaten down, he was able to make a hot tag to Adias! Adias worked over all three of the opponents, and scored a very close near fall on Jack Victory after catching him in a small package. Adias tagged in the Ranger who also was able to put quite a beating on both Victory and Donovan. The match came to a chaotic conclusion when once again all six men were fighting in the ring, although Adias and Victory were legal. The Texas Ranger clotheslined Chick Donovan out to the floor, and then followed him out. Lance Von Erich and Steve Regal were going at it tooth and nail in a corner of the ring, and the referee was trying to get both of them out. Meanwhile Victory and Adias were wrestling in the center of the ring, and Adias slipped out of a bodyslam attempt by Victory and drilled him with his patented Russian Leg Sweep! Adias quickly covered Victory, but the referee was still distracted trying to remove Lance and Regal. This allowed a brunette woman to come running down the aisle and slide into the ring. She started stomping on Adias, who was quickly trying to cover up and get off Victory. Adias got to his feet, and the woman slapped him hard in the face. Adias rubbed his jaw, and then snatched the woman up over his shoulder and deposited her on the ring apron. He never saw her throw something to Jack Victory. Adias dumped the woman out of the ring, and then headed back over to Victory who was half way to his feet. Adias grabbed him by the hair, and WHAM, Victory blasted him in the face with a punch that sent the lights out for Adias. Victory quickly tossed whatever the item was to the woman, and covered Adias. Seeing that the damage was done, Regal rolled out of the ring. Lance followed him, which allowed the referee to turn back around and see Victory covering Adias. He dropped down and counted the One, Two, Three. Winners: Jack Victory and The Fabulous Blondes (Steve Regal/Chick Donovan) in 14:34 As Von Erich and The Texas Ranger slide into the ring to check on their fallen partner, Victory, The Blondes, and the brunette woman are heading for the dressing room when Marc Lowrance stops them. Marc Lowrance: An underhanded victory if I've ever seen one! Just who is this young lady? Jack Victory: Underhanded Victory! Marc Lowrance, what you just saw was the emergence of the Gold Dust Trio as the most powerful force here in Texas All Star Wrestling, and with the beautiful Kat Leroux by our side, none of these Texas hillbillies are going to be able to stop us! The newly dubbed Gold Dust Trio and Kat Leroux push past Marc Lowrance and head for the dressing room. Frank Dusek passes them and comes to stand next to Lowrance. Marc Lowrance: Frank Dusek, it has been quite a night here on Texas All Star Wrestling. Frank Dusek: You can say that again. Based on what we've seen here tonight, I am making two more matches for next week. First up this Gold Dust Trio is going to team with "El Jefe" Jose Estrada and "Iron" Mike Sharpe and they are going to take on Lance Von Erich, Brian Adias, The Texas Ranger, Cocoa Samoa, and Jeff Gaylord in a ten man tag team match. Marc Lowrance: That's huge! Frank Dusek: and with Joe Savoldi unable to compete, The Highwaymen are going to defend the All Star Tag Team Titles against The Glamour Boys!! Marc Lowrance: All Right!! Two more huge matches for the Halloween Spooktacular! But that is next week here on Texas All Star Wrestling. We want to Thank You for joining us this week here on KTVT. Good Night Everyone! -Next Week- Texas All Star Wrestling presents: The Halloween Spooktacular! -Devil's Night Cage Match- Black Bart/"Mean" Mike Miller/???? vs "Killer" Tim Brooks/Jeff Sword/Doug Vines -All Star Heavyweight Title- "Cowboy" Scott Casey w/Sunshine vs The Spoiler w/"General" Skandor Akbar -All Star Tag Team Titles- The Highwaymen (Bobby Duncum/Phil Hickerson) vs The Glamour Boys (Steve Simpson/Steve Doll) -No Count Out/No Disqualification- "Mr. Ebony" Tom Jones vs "The Russian Hammer" Alexis Smirnoff -Ten Man Tag Team Action- Jack Victory, Steve Regal, Chick Donovan, Jose Estrada, and Mike Sharpe vs Lance Von Erich, Brian Adias, The Texas Ranger, Cocoa Samoa, and Jeff Gaylord

Something pretty newsworthy did happen on NXT last night. During the Bronson Reed/Austin Theory match, someone named McKenzie Mitchell was giving an update on the condition of Bobby Fish after he was attacked backstage earlier in the show. During her report she said that Fish was taken to a local hospital. I can't remember the last time they actually said the word "hospital" and not "local medical facility."

Texas All Star sends Mark Fleming to the USWA for Bob Roop Texas All Star releases Ric McCord to Free Agency Texas All Star will add Dark Journey to their roster (If this has been approved)

Gossett starting the show off strong by being wonderful! Thatcher announcing several big matches for the next few weeks! and a new partnership? Hmmm...... Loved the Garvin/Valiant/Dream Team promo. Flapjack Mulligan got a legit chuckle out of me. Great segment with Ron Fuller and Mulligan. Love Gossett stirring the spot (from far away of course) and bringing up the old bounty. Carson showing up with the Humongous! is just the icing on the cake. Be interesting to find out who is after Blackjack. Buzz Sawyer not caring enough to know the Nightmares by name, just by facial hair, is pretty much perfect Buzz Sawyer. Norvell is a great partner for Hamilton! Big Schmozz in the main event leads us into Montgomery!! Boo on Savio Vega and Rasta the.... Papa Sha.....Bota interfering before Armstrong and Royal could go the full hour! I will be rooting for Armstrong and Royal in next week's tag match! Big win for Norvell/Hamilton right off the bat as they get one over on A.O.D. and Strong!! Jimmy Garvin takes advantage of the distraction and pins Brisco! I figure Brisco will be looking for a rematch, but if I know Jimmy, he won't be looking to give it to him! Holy Shit! The bounty match turns into a clusterfuck as damn near the entire locker room clears out and brawls! That ten grand is going to make things real interesting here in Twin States! Uh-Oh! The mustache Nightmare is back! Buzz isn't going to be happy about this!! I smell another Sawyers/Nightmares blood bath coming!! That makes me happy! The Stomper is a bad dude, but his title reign is going a little too easy. One of these weeks he is going to have to wrestle someone at full strength!! Good stuff as always dude! Looking forward to seeing more!

I am good with Hamilton staying until the end of '86 if Gene wants to use him.

So, it would appear that Mid-South/NWA valet Dark Journey who was in the business from 1985-1987 has never made her way into the game. Would anyone be opposed to me using her?
