Here is the report from 411 on the Harper situation. This company is an absolute shitshow, and this hording of wrestlers is insane.

This week on 205 Live they had a 4 man announce team.... They just can't stop.

Maybe the second failure of the XFL will finally be what pushes him all the way over the edge.

World Class adds Joe Lightfoot

I am seriously waiting for Vince to snap and have the Bischoff "whoever wants to leave can leave" meeting as current WWE's final transformation into latter day WCW.

AWA World Class would like to pick up "The Duke of Dorchester" Pete Doherty just to bring it's roster to a nice even number!

AWA World Class sends Charlie Fulton to Superstars on the Superstation for Chick Donovan

-

Big win for The Fantastics, and the match for the belts should be a good one. But The Irwins have been dominant as hell. Anderson/Armstrong, Loser Leaves Town? Hmmm. Something interesting going down here. Gotta root against Brad, don't wanna see the MWC split up. Excited to see who the mystery partner is! Fucking Braves game. Man that shit used to piss me off!!

Gilbert better have one hell of a plan to get past Nikita, but he is certainly dominating the tournament so far. Loving the Heenan Family, but I can't help but feel like they need a real big guy to do the dirty work for them. That 6 man could main event across the country! I can just picture the look on Bobby's face when Hogan turned around after the chair shot! Good stuff! Hogan vs Bad News is gonna be awesome.

To echo the above, that card in Jackson is batshit. Just amazing from top to bottom. Tito and Bockwinkel should be a classic. Funk and Race could go a million different ways. Lawler and HTM is gonna be a drag out brawl. and Hulkamania vs Idolmania will be something else!! Super excited for this one!!

The action is heating up across the card here in ACCW! Still can't wait to see who is really behind the Valentine situation. Got a feeling it is gonna be a shocker. Mike Davis from out of left field loses his shit and costs Bill White the strap with the strap! Good stuff, but going after Liz is just gonna piss off the Link. Youngblood and Tyler for the Contenders Crown on the 4th should be a good one!

Tiger Chung Lee is already on my roster as Kim Duk, so no need to add him.

-Broadcasting live to our local affiliates in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri, as well as in Syndication across these great United States, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents World Class Wrestling, coming to you this week from the Memorial Hall in Kansas City!- Jim Ross: Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to AWA World Class Wrestling, I'm Jim Ross and joining me as always is "Cowboy" Bill Watts. Bill Watts: Thank You Jim. Tonight we have two more huge matches in our Heavyweight Title tournament as Magnum TA goes one on one with "Fabulous Freebird" Terry Gordy and The Junkyard Dog will tangle with the nearly seven foot tall One Man Gang. Jim Ross: Two of those four men will move on to face each other next week when we will also see "Dr. D" David Schultz take on Barry Windham, and then the winners of those matches will compete to become the first AWA World Class champion. Bill Watts: It's been a long road, but we are nearly there. Whoever ends up winning that title will have busted their butt to get it, and will deserve to be called champion. Jim Ross: Also tonight we will see the AWA World Class television debut of Hercules Hernandez. Fans, if you have not seen this man, he is a very impressive physical specimen. We will also have a pre-taped interview with some very special guests who will be joining us next week. But for now let's head down to the ring, and get the first of our tournament matches under way. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -Magnum TA vs Terry Gordy- Gordy jumped Magnum from behind as TA was taking his vest off and proceeded to lay a series of sledgehammer forearms across his back, elbows to his neck, and then planted him with a massive bodyslam. Gordy bounced off the ropes and dropped a huge elbow into the center of the chest of Magnum TA and covered for a count of two. Gordy pulled Magnum to his feet and shot him into the ropes and caught him with a back elbow that put him down. Gordy went to the buckle and ascended to the second rope and came off with a knee drop that scored another count of two. Gordy grabbed a side headlock takeover and slowed his quick opening pace down to a crawl and grinded on Magnum for several minutes, switching from the headlock, to a hammerlock, then back to the headlock into a takeover every time TA got to his feet. Each time Magnum was able to get any form of momentum going, Gordy would use the hair to drag him back to the canvas. Finally the referee caught Gordy pulling the hair and forced him to break the hold, and an irate Magnum unleashed a series of punches to the face of Gordy and whipped him into the ropes where he caught him with a huge powerslam. Gordy managed to kick out at two, but then Magnum was all over him, beating Gordy from pillar to post, and then from out of nowhere, Magnum scored with the Belly to Belly Suplex, but Gordy landed right next to the ropes and fell out of the ring. Magnum jumped out of the ring to try and get Gordy, but Michael Hayes and Buddy Roberts came running down to ringside as fast as they could, and immediately squared off with TA. Referee Jerry Usher was quickly out of the ring and standing between the parties, and then a cheer went up from the audience as Kerry and Kevin Von Erich sprinted to ringside and jumped on Hayes and Roberts! As the Hayes, Roberts, and Von Erichs brawl was sent away from ringside by Usher, Magnum picked up the prone form of Gordy and rolled him back into the ring. Magnum rolled in and pulled Gordy off the mat, only for Gordy to stiff arm him in the groin. As Magnum clutched at his crotch, Gordy kicked him in the stomach, hooked him, and dropped him with a Piledriver. Gordy then covered him as Usher slid back into the ring, just in time to count the One, Two, Three. Winner: Terry Gordy Jim Ross: OH COME ON!! Gordy kicked him in the groin!! Bill Watts: The referee never saw it Jim, he was trying to get everyone else out of there. Jim Ross: Gordy used the distraction at ringside to recover from the Belly to Belly that would have ended it, and to cheat. It's just wrong Cowboy. Bill Watts: The battle between the Freebirds and The Von Erichs just cost Magnum TA his shot at the Heavyweight Title. Jim Ross: Terry Gordy advances to face the winner of our main event between The Junkyard Dog and the One Man Gang. We'll be right back Ladies and Gentleman. -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: Okay folks, at the beginning of the show we promised you an interview with some special guests who will be joining us next weekend. Let's go ahead and roll that footage right now. The footage comes in deep focused on one of the AWA World Tag Team Title belts. "When sorrows come, they come not in single spies, but in battalions." The camera pulls back to show that the voice belongs to "Precious" Paul Ellering who has both of the belts over his shoulders, and has both members of The Road Warriors, Hawk and Animal standing behind him looking as menacing as can be. "For the tag teams of AWA World Class, the sorrows come not in battalions, but in legions. As in my Legion of Doom, my Road Warriors. You have seven days before we arrive and show your television viewers what we can do, eight days before we decimate every team in your tag team tournament, and nine days before we add the World Class Tag Team Titles to our collection. This will be your only warning. Doomsday is upon you!" Animal flexes, Hawk sticks out his tongue, and Ellering lets out a long laugh as the video comes to an end. Jim Ross: There you have it folks, the AWA World Tag Team Champions, The Road Warriors will compete right here on AWA World Class Television right here next week, and will be part of our tournament to crown the World Class Tag Team Champions. Bill Watts: They will be tough to beat Jim. But with The Freebirds, The Mongols, and a ton of other teams, they won't have a walk in the park. Jim Ross: Very true Bill. Now, let's head to the ring for the television debut of Hercules Hernandez. 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Hercules Hernandez w/Percival Pringle III vs Ron Ritchie- No one was expecting Pringle to accompany Hercules to the ring, but once the action started his presence was quickly forgotten. Hercules mauled the youngster with decapitating clotheslines, spine jarring bodyslams, and a one armed vertical suplex that left Jim Ross speechless. He then hoisted Ritchie over his shoulder in a One Armed Backbreaker and the submission came in seconds. Winner: Hercules Hernandez Pringle and Hercules quickly join Marc Lowrance at ringside. Marc Lowrance: A very impressive display of power and a big win tonight Mr. Hernandez. Percival Pringle III: Oh Marc Lowrance, what you just saw was the tip of the iceberg! My Hercules is the strongest man in all of professional wrestling! He barely broke a sweat tossing that nine to fiver around in there tonight. He could do that to all the rest of these common people in attendance here tonight and then still go hit the gym before heading home!! That comment draws a huge round of boos from the crowd. Pringle rolls his eyes as Hercules smirks. Percival Pringle III: Next week you will all see the true magnitude of his power when he enters the battle royal for the World Class Television Title. You will all stand in awe as he throws one man after another out of that ring, and then you will bow before him as I strap the championship around his waist. You can count on it! Pringle and Hercules walk away from Lowrance. Hercules heads toward the back, and Pringle is met by the One Man Gang who is headed toward the ring. -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: An impressive debut from Hercules Hernandez to say the least Bill. Bill Watts: He is a powerful man for sure Jim. I'm just not sure why he chooses to align himself with that loudmouth. Jim Ross: Pringle is eccentric, that's for sure. It's time for our main event, so let's head down to the ring. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -One Man Gang w/Percival Pringle III vs The Junkyard Dog- This started with a series of lock ups with both men trying to push the other across the ring. The power of the Dog versus the size of the Gang made for a series of stalemates. Finally on the fourth try, the Dog reached down and scooped the Gang up for a bodyslam! But the size of the Gang proved to be too much, and he crashed down on top of JYD for a two and nine tenths count that left the crowd stunned. The Gang drug JYD up by the hair and whipped him into the corner. Dog hit the buckle hard, and then the Gang followed in with a huge avalanche that left JYD rocked. OMG continued ramming his weight into the form of JYD over and over, until he finally let him stumble out of the corner and collapse to the mat. Gang took a moment to raise his fist into the air as Percy Pringle jumped up and down clapping on the floor. OMG then bounced off the ropes and delivered the 747 Splash, to a spot of empty canvas, as JYD rolled out of the way at the last possible second. Both men were slow to make it to their feet, and when they did they took to exchanging punches in the center of the ring. Each massive blow leaving their opponent staggering. OMG threw a huge forearm that sent JYD back several steps, then JYD charged forward and cracked the Gang with a huge headbutt to the jaw! OMG teetered on one leg and looked like he was going to go down, but instead fell backwards into the ropes. When he rebounded forward, a grimace appeared on the face of the Dog as he reached down and with all his might scooped the One Man Gang up and took him all the way over with a HUGE Powerslam!! They hit with such impact that JYD bounced off of the Gang, but he quickly leapt back on and hooked the leg, and Ron West counted the One, Two, Three! Winner: The Junkyard Dog Bill Watts: My God, What a Powerslam!!! Jim Ross: Junkyard Dog has eliminated the One Man Gang from the tournament with one of the most impressive feats of strength that I have ever seen! Percy Pringle is beside himself at ringside. The Gang doesn't know what hit him, and the Dog is out celebrating with the people!! Bill Watts: Those two were just throwing haymakers at each other in there, and I think the Dog may have knocked him silly with that headbutt. But that Powerslam was unbelievable Jim. Jim Ross: It certainly was Bill. We have to take another commercial break, but it appears we may have time for one of our stand by contests. We'll be right back. -Commercial Break- 1 Fall, 10 Minute Time Limit -Jerry Oske vs George Weingeroff- These two had no more than locked up when a third competitor hit the ring and attacked both of them. The large bald man first nailed Jerry Oske in the throat with a martial arts chop that sent him to the canvas clutching his throat. Then when George Weingeroff charged at him, the man with the mustache and black gi pants caught him and squeezed the life out of him with a Bear Hug. Rag dolling him and tossing him aside, Superstar Billy Graham flexed his muscles and then threw a series of martial arts blows into the air. Winner: No Contest Marc Lowrance enters the ring to interview the Superstar. Marc Lowrance: "Superstar" Billy Graham, what are.... Graham grabs the microphone from Lowrance. Superstar Graham: The Superstar has arrived in World Class Wrestling! Tonight I announced my arrival by clearing my ring of these two nobodies. Next week I will clear the ring of however many men I must, to claim the World Class Television Title. Because Billy Graham is going to make all of the AWA his kingdom, and World Class is going be to his castle. Jim Ross: and fans, with the unexpected arrival of "Superstar" Billy Graham, we are out of time. See you next week for our huge weekend of champions!!

Flair vs Hogan for the World Title!!! (Only a company full idiots could screw this up!! But they'd wait until 1992!) I still can't get over Paul Jone's Army. Just a great blend of skill, evil, muscle, and girth. All of the babyfaces are gonna have to come together to stop them. Loving the Garvin/Rip Rogers tomfoolery, and Cooley is the perfect foil for them. Add me to the list of people looking forward to MNX vs Pogo/Kendo!

Gilbert had best enjoy his lead in the Young Lions tournament, because there is a Nightmare in his future. Sgt. Slaughter is gonna be able to tell him all about it real soon. Hart and Savage in a Cage!! That is going to be sweet!! Hulkamania was running wild on Ox and Sweetan, but Bad News made short work of the Champ. Have to assume the glove is loaded, but now he is in the champs head. The beer bellied share cropper may be in trouble on the 25th!!

He was above average at best....

World Class sends The Great Kabuki to Southeastern for Superstar Graham Also, Don Carsen is listed on my roster and should not be.

Superstars is such a good read every time, and like people have mentioned, you have wrestling on WTBS down. Looking forward to Rich/Sawyer mixing it up some more. Liking the Gunslingers already, and a match with the Fantastics should prove to be a damn good one. The feud between Reed and Duggan is heating up, and I feel like we'll be see'ing a big time gimmick match in their future. You might want to check the 4/23 tag match result, I think it was meant to be Angelo instead of Lanny in the match against Hart/Dibiase

I'd take him, but I don't know that you'd have interest in what I have to offer. I could send you Grizzly Boone, Taras Bulba (Juan Reynosa), The Mongol (Gene Petit), or Yoshiaki Yatsu. If you wanna work something, shoot me a message. If not, I understand.

Your main event scene is just fantastic. Race vs Funk is gonna be awesome, and the Race/Bock match lived up to expectations to get us there! Idol is a great contender for Hogan, and you've got Lawler in a blood feud with HTM that is gonna lead to some classic brawls. Meanwhile Tully is biding his time with the TV Title. Anyone of these guys could be holding the top title in a promotion, and you've got them all under on roof. The balancing is great, but at some point I hope you find a way to have all of these elements come together for some kind of once in a lifetime winner takes all match for the title!

-Broadcasting live to our local affiliates in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri, as well as in Syndication across these great United States, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents World Class Wrestling, coming to you this week from the Irish McNeil Boys Club in Shreveport, Louisiana!- Jim Ross: Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman, and welcome to AWA World Class Wrestling! I'm Jim Ross and joining me as always is "Cowboy" Bill Watts. Bill Watts: Thank you Jim. We have quite a line up of action this week, including the first two second round matches in the tournament for the...Oh, what the heck is this... Skandor Akbar and Friday are leading Kamala to ringside. Friday and Kamala head into the ring, but Akbar heads over to the Marc Lowrance and grabs the house microphone. Skandor Akbar: KABUKI!! I know you are here tonight! I am daring you to come to this ring and fight Kamala right now! Akbar shoves the microphone back into the hands of Lowrance and joins Friday in the ring with Kamala. Jim Ross: Skandor Akbar calling for The Great Kabuki to come to the ring and fight Kamala. Last week we saw Akbar berate Kabuki after Kabuki lost to Magnum TA, and we saw Kabuki respond by spraying that green mist into the eyes of the "General." Bill Watts: Well, it looks like Akbar is going to get what he wants, because here comes Kabuki!! The Great Kabuki comes to the ring, followed by a host of security and referee's. From the back comes Bob Geigel making a rare on camera appearance, and he tells security and all of the referee's other than Jerry Usher to get out of the ring and declares the match official! 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -The Great Kabuki vs Kamala w/Skandor Akbar & Friday- Kamala immediately began to lay into Kabuki with wild chops to the top of the head, but Kabuki fired back with martial arts blows into the midsection of the Ugandan Giant that staggered Kamala into the corner. Kabuki used a side kick that stunned Kamala and then attempted to lock in a nerve hold under the armpits of his larger opponent, but Kamala bit him which got Kabuki to let go. Kamala again began firing away with big chops to the head that staggered Kabuki, but Kabuki fought back with a series of kicks to the stomach and one to the head, that actually knocked the big man off of his feet. It was then that Akbar waved frantically to the back and The Mongols raced toward the ring and interjected themselves into the action. Nazar Bulba was the first one into the ring, and he received a face full of the green mist for his effort. Taras fared a little better, throwing a clothesline at Kabuki, which was ducked, and then catching a huge Thrust Kick to the face that sent him down to the canvas. What he did do however was buy Kamala enough time to recover, and when Kabuki turned back around he was met with a huge thrust kick from Kamala! As soon as Kabuki hit the canvas, Kamala leapt onto him with the Big Splash. Akbar and Friday were both quickly into the ring, and Akbar could be heard screaming "AGAIN." Friday was jabbering instructions and Kamala obliged, delivering another Big Splash onto the prone form of Kabuki. Taras Bulba recovered, and stretched the arms of Kabuki out over his head, while Akbar grabbed the legs of Kabuki leaving his midsection totally exposed and unprotected. Friday pointed Kamala to the turnbuckle. Kamala looked unsure, but eventually complied and came crashing down on the exposed Kabuki with a huge Splash from the Second Rope. As Friday herded Kamala away from the ring, and Taras Bulba helped his blinded partner away from ringside, Skandor Akbar stood laughing over the prone form of The Great Kabuki. Winner, by Disqualification: The Great Kabuki -Commercial Break- Jim Ross: Welcome back folks. While we were at break, The Great Kabuki was taken out of the ring on a stretcher and is now being loaded into an ambulance to be taken to the hospital. It would seem to me that Akbar never cared about a match, or winning or losing. That whole thing was a set up in an attempt to take The Great Kabuki out of our sport. Your thoughts Bill? Bill Watts: I have to agree with you Jim. After the events of last week, a match between Kamala and Kabuki made sense, which is why Bob Geigel came out here and made it. But as you said, Akbar never cared about the outcome of any match. His plan all along was to hurt the man. I hope he is happy that he achieved that goal, because I am certain there will be repercussions for his actions. Jim Ross: Up next we have the first match of the second round of the Heavyweight Title tournament, which will see Dick Murdoch take on Barry Windham. 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -Barry Windham vs Dick Murdoch- Murdoch took early control of this one grabbing a headlock out of the lock up and working it for all it was worth. Windham did all he could to get out of it, but Murdoch stubbornly held on until finally Barry dropped him with a big back suplex that got him to let go. Then it was Barry's turn as he grabbed Murdoch and nailed him with a series of atomic drops that had Murdoch doing some wild dancing and flailing as the pain rocketed up his back side. Barry then slapped on his own side headlock, took Murdoch over and nearly scored a surprise three count! Murdoch managed to work his way back to his feet while in the headlock and shot Barry into the ropes, Dick nailed him with a shoulderblock that sent Windham to the canvas. Murdoch hit the ropes for momentum, and went for an elbow drop, but Windham rolled out of the way. With a pained expression Murdoch jumped back up and went for another elbow, but Windham rolled out of the way again. Both men were quickly back up, and an irate Murdoch charged at Windham, only to be caught with an armdrag, that Windham converted into an armbar. The match continued in this back and forth manner until well past the ten minute mark with both men gaining near falls on the other, until finally the veteran Murdoch was in full control at around the twelve minute mark nailing his younger opponent with a big bodyslam, then dropping a knee across his forehead. Murdoch kept on him, dropping an elbow across his chest, then pulled him up by his hair and whipped him hard into the turnbuckle. Murdoch followed him in with a back elbow, then used a series of shoulders to his midsection. Murdoch shoved Windham into the center of the ring and then charged him with a clothesline that put Barry down hard on the mat. Murdoch smirked as he grabbed two handfulls of hair and pulled Windham to his feet and hooked him for the Brainbuster. Murdoch hoisted him up in the air, but before he could drop him on his head, Windham began to scissor his legs and the momentum sent Barry's feet back down toward the canvas. In one amazingly smooth motion, as he was coming back down toward the mat, Barry threaded his legs in between those of Dick Murdoch and rolled him into an air tight small package. Referee James Beard counted the One, Two, Three and a stunned Murdoch could only watch as Barry Windham had his hand raised. Winner: Barry Windham Jim Ross: Barry Windham may have been playing a bit of possum there! Murdoch looked to be in complete control, but when Murdoch lifted him for the Brainbuster, Windham shifted the momentum, and cradled him for the victory. Bill Watts: Murdoch is still sitting on the mat absolutely stunned. Windham advanced to the semi-finals, and will take on the winner of our main event tonight when Kerry Von Erich takes on David Schultz. Jim Ross: Folks, we are going to take another break, and we'll be back with the Oriental duo of Yatsu and Duk. Don't go anywhere! -Commercial Break- 1 Fall, 15 Minute Time Limit -Kim Duk/Yoshi Yatsu vs Shane Tylor/Alexander Winston- This was a one sided demolition as the Asian duo wiped the mat with the two youngsters. Yatsu first worked over Tylor hitting him with suplexes and applying submissions, before smashing him with a huge Powerslam that could have easily ended the match. Instead he tossed the man into his corner and signaled for his partner to tag himself in. Yatsu then tagged in Duk, who went to work on Winston in much the same way. Chops, suplexes, brutal knee drops and finally an inverted piledriver. Duk then covered the man with a single foot on his chest which was enough for the victory. The crowd in Louisiana boo'ed as the Asians left the ring with sadistic smiles on their faces. Winners: Kim Duk/Yoshi Yatsu Jim Ross: An impressive television debut for the team of Duk and Yatsu as they maul the competition in quick fashion. Bill Watts: Both men had feared reputations when they arrived from the Orient, now that they have combined their skills they will be a hard team to defeat. Jim Ross: Alright folks, we are going to take a commercial break and then we will return with our main event of the evening! -Commercial Break- 1 Fall, 30 Minute Time Limit -David Schultz vs Kerry Von Erich- Kerry was fired up for this one and started laying in haymakers the moment the bell rang, sending Dr. Dr to the floor where he took full advantage of the referee's count. This repeated several times, until Kerry followed him out to the floor and Schultz took advantage sending Kerry back first into the apron of the ring, and then smashed his head down onto it as well. Schultz tossed Von Erich back into the ring and clamped on a rear chinlock, perfectly happy to slow the pace way down much to the disdain of the fans. Kerry attempted to rally back nailing several elbows into the midsection of Dr. D after working his way to his feet, but Schultz thumbed Kerry in the eye and clamped on a headlock. Kerry managed to shoot Schultz into the ropes, but Dr. D ducked a clothesline and caught a shoulder tackle on the rebound. He covered Von Erich, but only managed a one count. After this, the match went back and forth for a solid ten minutes with both men having control at different points. At around the fourteen minute mark, Dick Murdoch made his way to ringside. It didn't take long for Kevin Von Erich to show up on the other side of the ring to make sure that no shenanigans went down. As you might expect, it didn't take long for Murdoch to get involved. Schultz had been peppering Kerry with punches in the corner, when Kerry nailed him with a huge right hand that sent Dr. Dr staggering backwards out of the corner. Kerry followed it up with a massive Discus Punch that laid Schultz out. Kerry was quick to make the cover, and referee Alfred Neely counted to two before he saw the foot of Schultz on the rope. What he didn't see was Murdoch put it there. Kevin did... Kevin rushed around the ring and actually leapt off the ring stairs to tackle Murdoch which drew a huge cheer from the audience. Murdoch and Kevin began to brawl all over the ringside area. Fists were flying, the timekeepers table was knocked over, chairs were being thrown, and a host of referee's and security were trying to break it up. Alfred Neely was leaning over the ropes screaming for them to get away from ringside as there was a match going on. That's why he never saw Michael Hayes come out of the crowd, slide into the ring, and blast Kerry Von Erich in the back of the head with a chain wrapped around his fist, and head right back out the way he came! As Murdoch and Kevin Von Erich were herded away from ringside, the referee turned around just in time to see David Schultz cover Kerry Von Erich. He dropped down and counted the One, Two, Three. Winner: David Schultz Jim Ross: What a miscarriage of justice! Kerry Von Erich just got his lights turned out by Michael Hayes, and it cost him his chance at the Heavyweight Title Bill Watts: Alfred Neely was trying to get Kevin and Murdoch out of their and never saw it. Unfortunately the decision of the referee is final. Jim Ross: The Fabulous Freebirds have now caused both Kevin and Kerry Von Erich to be eliminated from the tournament by underhanded means. Bill Watts: This war between the Freebirds and the Von Erichs is going to have to end one way or another sooner rather than later. Jim Ross: Dr. D advances in the Heavyweight Title Tournament and will meet Barry Windham in a couple of weeks in the Semi-Finals. Next week we will have Magnum TA taking on Terry Gordy in tournament action as well as The Junkyard Dog versus The One Man Gang. Bill Watts: Two huge matches as we are getting down to the nitty gritty Jim. Jim Ross: Thanks Everyone for watching AWA World Class, we'll see you next week!

Gotta think "The Hammer" is gonna come back gunning for everyone and everything to get that title. Kinda surprised to see Brisco get the spot over Steamboat. But Brisco put down Orndorff and Dusty so you can't say he doesn't deserve it! Killer Brooks and his immediate impact should make for some fun too! Good stuff all around!
