Loving the Pat Tanaka push. Seattle got a nice look at a lot of the big time feuds going on in the AWA. Piper vs. Jake tag will almost always be the one I wished I had been there for the most. Pillman getting a pin on Sullivan is big.

Original Airdate May 2nd, 1986 (Originally airing in Spanish on WAPA Channel 4 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This broadcast is translated to English where applicable.) The opening montage featuring highlights of Carlos Colon, Chicky Starr, Invader 1, Invader 2, Invader 3, Abdullah the Butcher, Hercules Ayala, Bam Bam and Dutch Mantell plays. Carlos Colon doing a cartwheel and coming up fists at the ready leads to the WWC logo as the music ends. NWA and Capitol Sports Presenta Los Campeones De La Lucha Libre Con Tus Luchadores Favoritos De Fama Mundial Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano. Rickin: Welcome to another great hour of WWC action fans. My broadcast partner as always is the one and only Hugo Savinovich. Hugo: Wouldn't have it any other way! Rickin: We have an announcement to start the show concerning los Invaders. It seems the WWC has decided to grant them a Street Fight match against los Pastores on July 5th. Hugo: Big match! And it won't be pretty! Rickin: I can't imagine it would be. We also have no significant news on the condition of Carlitos Colon. Your letters, flowers and prayers are appreciated by his friends and Carlitos himself. Tonight we will see TNT in action and on the Sports Shop, accompanied by his manager El Profe. Hugo: I like watching TNT! But I hate listening to El Profe... Rickin: I couldn't have said it better. We will see Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher in action as well as the team of Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez. Hugo: Castillo and Perez are confident after their big win! Rickin: They are, but they don't seem like it has made them overconfident. Invader 2 will be in singles action as well. Hugo: We will see how much he has recovered from injuries suffered at the hands of Ron and Chicky Starr. Rickin: Owen Hart and his brother Bruce will be joining me at the desk. Hugo: I can't imagine you are looking forward to that after last week. Rickin: I am not. Castillo and Perez will be out at the desk as well. Ricky Santana will stop by for a conversation as well. Hugo: He should get a better reception than he did last week on the Sports Shop! Rickin: I'm sure your friend Chicky Starr was justified in his comments. Our main event tonight is a direct result of los Invaders taking on los Pastores in Hiram Bathorn Stadium. the Rock and Roll RPMs will be taking on los Super Medicos to determine who will face los Primos Starr on July 5th. Hugo: Both are very good teams! Los Super Medicos want revenge on the Starrs though, they may want this more. Rickin: But Super Medico 1 and 3 have not worked together enough to be as smooth a team as the Rock and Roll RPMs. It should make for a great main event. TNT is on his way to the ring with El Profe. Hugo: The fans are concentrating their garbage at El Profe! Rickin: The first time you agree with them on making a choice like that? Hugo: Yes! The man is impossible to talk to in any way. Rickin: I have found that to be the case myself. TNT is one of the more exciting young wrestlers to come along in some time. Hugo: Yes! He uses a mix of wrestling and martial arts skills in the ring. He is very effective! Rickin: And I think that different style throws off a lot of wrestlers. Hugo: It will, yes. Veterans, like Gama Singh, have seen things like that in the ring before and tend to handle it better. Rickin: Gama Singh still had to capitalize on a miscue by El Profe and TNT to hand TNT his first loss. Hugo: A moment of distraction can be very costly! Rickin: Indeed it can. TNT has entered the ring and referee Ricky Vargas has called for the bell. El Vikingo vs. TNT TNT uses his chops and big throat thrusts to control the match. TNT blocks a punch by Vikingo directly into another big throat thrustthat knocks Vikingo down. A spin wheel kick after hitting the ropes puts Vikingo down for the three count. TNT by pinfall in 4:22 with a spinwheel kick Rickin: Another way of finishing a match for TNT. Up until now he has used the cobra dinamita (cobra clutch) to beat his opponents. Hugo: You may need more than one way if your opponent is able to counter your main move! Rickin: So that loss, even if it was by disqualification, taught El Profe and TNT something after all. We'll be right back fans with Owen and Bruce Hart at the desk and the team of Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher in the ring. Don't go anywhere. (Commercial Break) 0 - 8:30 Rickin: (English) We're back fans and I am joined by Owen and Bruce Hart. Have you found your footing in Puerto Rico yet, so to speak? Bruce: I'm slowly catching on to some things, yes. My brother has been showing me a lot of the local customs and some tape of matches to familiarize myself with the style by. Rickin: Any of his matches? Bruce: No, he wants me to see how the Puerto Rican wrestlers handle themselves. I have trouble knowing who to cheer for after watching a lot of them. Rickin: I'd say that one reason Owen isn't showing you his matches- Owen: Rickin, you know me too well. I don't feel any need to show off, even if it is my big brother. I just want him to get a feel forthe style of wrestling here in the WWC. Bruce: And I appreciate that Owen. You always were very considerate, and I can only hope that these fans here in Puerto Rico will start seeing that. Owen: In time I think they will. I'm sure having you here to back me up is helping. Rickin: I can't imagine he's shown you any Ricky Santana matches either. Bruce: He has. I have to say I would be a fan of the kid if he hadn't tried to make sure my younger brother never had any kids of his own on my first night here. Rickin: I'd say what you saw was the culmination of- Owen: What Rickin is trying to tell you is that Ricky Santana had yet to beat me in two previous singles matches. He just couldn't handle losing to me a third time and resorted to dirty tactics to get a win. Bruce: I don't like how you keep interrupting this nice, polite man Owen. Where are your manners? Owen: Sorry, I just get a little overexcited. Bruce: You always did have that. I'm sorry my brother keeps talking over you Rickin. He does have very good manners, I've seen it. He's really very complimentary of you. Rickin: Your brother is not- Owen: I know it's not normal. I'm just excited my older brother is here! Sorry... Bruce: We're going to have to talk about this Owen. My apologies Rickin, I have to remind my kid brother about how to be respectful. Bruce herds Owen off, starting what looks like a brotherly talk, with Owen trying to explain himself. Rickin: (Spanish) I honestly don't know how to tell Bruce Hart what his brother has been up to. Hugo: It doesn't look like Owen is going to give you that opportunity... Rickin: It doesn't. Hopefully somebody will be able to talk to Bruce without his brother around. Barrabas is leading Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher out to the ring and getting an earful from this crowd. Hugo: He's looking more confident after his team's win last week! Rickin: Yes, and he seems like he's back to enjoying the anger of the crowd. Hugo: Well, come people feed off the crowd one way, others in a different way. Rickin: Yes, something you excelled at as both a wrestler and a manager. Hugo: Of course I excelled at both! Rickin: Sometimes I wonder if you listen to what I say entirely. Hugo: You know I do! Rickin: And then you use it however it suits you. Hugo: Yes! Rickin: Barrabas must be in a good mood, he hasn't ordered Boyd and the Crusher to attack before the bell. Hugo: There is a time for that kind of thing. But there is also a time to show that you can win a match within the rulebook too. Rickin: I would call that most of the time. Referee Tomas Marin called for the bell and the match is starting. Los Assassins (1 & 3) vs. Jonathan Boyd & the Crusher Boyd starts off the match and isolates Assassin 1 in the Boyd/Crusher corner. Boyd and the Crusher work tags back and forth before putting away Assassin 1 with Boyd's three point stance clothesline. Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher by pinfall in 4:58 with a three point stance clothesline Rickin: Good teamwork shown by Boyd and the Crusher. Hugo: Textbook tag team wrestling! Rickin: Barrabas seems happy with his men. When we come back TNT and El Profe will visit Chicky Starr's Sports Shop. Invader 2 will be in action, you don't want to miss it so stay tuned. (Commercial Break) 8:30 - 17:00 Rickin: It's time for Hugo's favorite part of the show. Hugo: Let's go to Chicky's Sports Shop!!! The Sports Shop intro plays and we cut to Victor on the Sports Shop set with a microphone. Victor (wooden): It is my pleasure to introduce the hottest wrestler and manager in the World Wrestling Council. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the most exciting, most charismatic, best dressed man in Puerto Rico, Chicky Starr. Chicky comes on set wearing athletic gear. He is carrying his WWC Caribbean Tag Team Championship over his shoulder and sits down after picking up a mic. Chicky: Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to begin tonight's show by letting you all know that the World Wrestling Council has weaseled out of the legal trouble they ought to be in for pre-empting my show two weeks ago. No matter, the low ratings for that show should be enough of a reason the WWC NEVER does that again! Speaking of low ratings, last week my guest was a real downer and I can only make it up to you by having a good guest this week. My guests this week are always welcome in the Sports Shop, El Profe and TNT. Profe and TNT sit down, Profe grabbing a microphone. El Profe: I can't imagine what it must be like having to carry on a conversation, or try to, with Ricky Santana. Chicky: Painful is the word that comes to mind. Profe: Sounds right to me. Chicky: Speaking of painful, I'd guess that you are now aware of how dangerous a man like Gama Singh is. Profe: Yes, I underestimated him and he got the better of myself and TNT. The only way he could get a win over TNT, but it's hardly anything to worry about. Chicky: I know Gama Singh and I doubt he's all too thrilled with a win by disqualification. He's going to want another fight. Profe: If he does want a fight, then he'll find it. TNT is not one to stand for a man like Gama Singh trying to embarass him like that. Chicky: I'd say Gama Singh is a tough opponent and a loss to him is no black mark on anyone's record. Profe: Regardless, I know TNT can beat the man in a fair fight and I'm willing to prove it. I am willing to be suspended in a cage above the ring while the two fight to ensure no interference on my part. And if Gama Singh wins he gets 5 minutes in the ring with me as a reward. Chicky: I'm not sure that last part is a good idea. Gama Singh is more interested in beating you up than TNT. Profe: I respect your opinion, but trust me when I say this is exactly what I want. Chicky: I can only hope you don't end up like Al Madril. That's going to be all for this week in the Sports Shop. We have another great show for you next week when my cousin Ronnie stops by and we talk about our next challengers for these (holds up the belt). I've seen who is in that match and I am not too worried. It's time for Ric Flair - I think I know how to make that opening a little better. Profe: Why you worry about something like that I don't know. Chicky: Little things matter in presentation. Hit the sign-off. Ric Flair's sign-off plays as Profe, TNT and Chicky walk off set. Rickin: Quite the challenge by El Profe. Hugo: I'm starting to wonder if he's as smart as he thinks he is. Rickin: I guess we'll have to see if Gama Singh takes the match to find out. Hugo: He will! Rickin: I'm pretty sure of that myself. Invader 2 is getting a great reaction on his way to the ring. Hugo: These people love their Invaders.. Rickin: They will continue to do so as long as los Invaders fight men like los Pastores. Hugo: I don't know if I'd call them men. I've managed the Monster! The Machine! Abdullah the Butcher- Rickin: I'm not sure I'd be shouting about that right now. Hugo: I-er-yes, I've managed men who could very easily be called savages before. And I'm not sure los Pastores don't belong in that same group as some of my clients in the past. Rickin: That's a fair point. They don't seem to be overly interested in winning matches. Hugo: Again, a lot like a certain client of mine. Rickin: Yes, that and the seeming need to hurt their opponents is another thing in common. Hugo: Yes! Rickin: The fact that los Invaders and Carlitos Colon are willing to fight those men and prove that Puerto Rico can triumph over them makes them fan favorites. Hugo: I can see that. Rickin: It looks like ring announcer Eliud Gonzalez has finished introductions and we're ready for action. Domingo Robles vs. Invader 2 Invader 2 shows no signs of his still wrapped left arm hurting him even after Robles briefly targets it. He stuns Robles with a big left hook before hitting a double throat chop that puts Robles down for the 3 count. Invader 2 by pinfall in 4:12 with a double throat chop Rickin: Invader 2 showing no signs of his injury lingering. Hugo: He will need to be at 100% against los Pastores! Rickin: Yes he will. They are incredibly dangerous. We'll be back with Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez at the desk and in the ring. Don't touch that dial. (Commercial Break) 17:00 - 25:00 Rickin: Welcome back fans. Joining me now are two very confident young men, Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez. It;s taken you two a while, but you seem to have found your stride. Perez: I don't know that we're there yet Rickin. Castillo: We've got plenty to work on, something our fathers and friends have been making sure we remember these last few weeks. Rickin: I can imagine that after your big win a few weeks back they are trying to keep you focused on the right things. Castillo: Absolutely they are. There is something that Mike Davis and Tommy Lane have been talking to us about though. Perez: Yeah, they say we need a name for this team now that we have established ourselves. Castillo: We kicked around a few ideas, then we ran them by a few people. One of them got the best reaction from everyone we talked to. Perez: From now on you can call us the Caribbean Express! Rickin: A very fitting name for the two of you if you ask me. You are aware that your friends the Rock and Roll RPMs are involved in a match to determine the next challengers for the Caribbean Tag Team Championships tonight. Any comments? Perez: Los Super Medicos are also our friends. I'd like to see either team as champions over Ron and Chicky Starr. Castillo: Yeah, those two are a disgrace to the WWC and shouldn't be anywhere near any of the gold. Rickin: Perhaps you two belong in the conversation about new challengers for the Starrs as well. Castillo: That has been suggested to us a few times, and anytime the WWC feels we are ready we won't say no. But as we said right away, there is still plenty for us to work on and we have some unfinished business with los Mercenarios. Perez: Like Huracan said, we would welcome any chance to take those belts off of the Starrs. But if you remember los Mercenarios were the reason the Starrs got past us to win those belts and we haven't forgotten! Castillo and Perez work towards the ring as the crowd cheers and tries to get close to the two young Puerto Ricans. Rickin: There go two fired up young men. Hugo: I like the team name! Rickin: It seems like the right time for it as well. Hugo: Yes! They established themselves as a top team with their victory in Roberto Clemente Stadium and it's a good time for them all-around. Rickin: Along with Ricky Santana I'd say those two havve really made an impression on the fans lately. Hugo: I would also say that nobody should take them lightly because of their youth. We both saw what happened with Boyd and the Crusher! Rickin: Yes we did. Both teams are in the ring for our next bout, there is the bell. Los Tejanos vs. the Caribbean Express Castillo and Perez use their usual quick tags and smooth teamwork to control the match. A short comeback by Tejano 2 is cut off by a Castillo dropkick. He tags in to Perez, who hits a big powerslam for the 3 count. The Caribbean Express by pinfall in 5:15 with a powerslam Rickin: Castillo and Perez seem to be on a roll of late. Hugo: Confidence can do that for you! Rickin: Yes it can. It's good to see two young men putting it all together without taking shortcuts. Up next I'll be talking with Ricky Santana before our main event. Los Super Medicos and the Rock and Roll Express will be competing to decide who faces los Primos Starr on July 5th. You don't want to miss it. (Commercial Break) 25:00 - 33:00 Rickin: Fans we have a treat for you tonight. Ricky Santana has joined me at the desk with his WWC Light Heavyweight Title. I haven't had the chance to properly congratulate you on winning that belt. Santana: Thank you Rickin. And thank you to all of these great fans for their support. I couldn't have done it without that. I've enjoyed traveling around Puerto Rico defending this belt in front of the people. Rickin: It's good to see you a little more relaxed now that you've gotten your win over Owen Hart. Santana: It is a weight off my shoulders for sure. Rickin: A lot was said last week about how you beat Hart and gained that title. Santana: By all the wrong people. I don't think Chicky Starr or Owen Hart have anything to say worth listening to about how to win a match cleanly. Rickin: I'll definitely agree with that. Owen Hart has certainly cleaned up his act since his brother Bruce arrived. Santana: You noticed that too. He can try to play nice for his brother as much as he likes, but once competition gets tough enough he'll go back to his old ways. Rickin: He seems to be avoiding that as well as any kind of dialogue about his actions. Santana: He won't be able to avoid it next week. I made a call to a friend I made recently and the WWC signed the match. Owen and Bruce Hart against myself and somebody I'm sure Owen Hart will be pleased to see in Puerto Rico. Rickin: I'm curious as to who that partner is. Santana: I'm going to leave that for next week, I think you and all of these fans here and on TV will be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for your time Rickin. Rickin: And thank you for yours Ricky. Santana leaves the interview area and Rickin heads back around the desk. Hugo: I wonder who it is! Rickin: As do I. We'll have to wait until next week to find out. Hugo: I have some ideas who it might be! Maybe- Rickin: Let's allow Ricky Santana to have his surprise. Hugo: Okay, but I'm not sure that's fair to Owen... Rickin: I don't care much for how fair something is to Owen Hart at this point. The man is willing to blatantly lie to his own brother. Hugo: There is that.. Rickin: Here come the Rock and Roll RPMs to a very good reaction from the crowd. Hugo: Maybe I should have made friends with los Invaders and Colon... Rickin: Are you suggesting that the RPMs are only popular with the fans because they are friends with los Invaders and Colon? Hugo: It doesn't hurt. Rickin: I'm sure it doesn't, but ask yourself this. With the way you wrestled and managed would the crowd have stayed behind you? Would los Invaders and Colon have remained your friends? Hugo: Depends when I decided to play dirty!! Rickin: I....you may have a point there. But the Rock and Roll RPMs have carried themselves well, worked hard and entertained the fans while winning. I believe that is why the crowd loves them. Hugo: Maybe.. Rickin: We'll have to disagree on that. Los Super Medicos are on their way out to the ring now and I think we can both agree they have earned the crowd's respect. Hugo: Yes, they have been a top tag team in Puerto Rico for years. They have even held the Caribbean Tag Team Titles in the past! Rickin: Even through the personnel change to Super Medico 3 alongside Super Medico 1 they have remained a threat within the tag division, which is a tough thing to do. Hugo: Super Medico 1 is a veteran and a formidable singles wrestler, so it only makes sense that he would be able to make the team work with a different partner. Rickin: I'd say the one worry for los Super Medicos is that their teamwork may not be on the level of the Rock and Roll RPMs. Hugo: Yes! Also, I wonder which team is going to star taking shortcuts just to get the chance at the Starrs! Rickin: I don't think either team will feel the need to resort to underhanded tactics to win. Referee Victor Quinonez just called for the bell. The Rock 'n' Roll RPMs vs. Los Super Medicos The match goes back and forth between the teams with the RPMs showing their advantage in teamwork with quicker tags when they are in control. Things get a little heated and Medico 1 is able to take control of the match for his team, but a miscommunication between los Super Medicos allows Lane to roll up Medico 2 for the 3 count. The Rock and Roll RPMs by pinfall in 12:47 with a rollup Rickin: It looks like the Rock and Roll RPMs will be facing the Starrs on July 5th. There is a handshake after the match between the teams. Hugo: I know you like when that happens! Rickin: It shows that the loser of the match has some respect for their opponents and the fans. Losing is a part of wrestling and being able to deal with it like an adult is important. Hugo: So you just roll over... Rickin: No, you train more and come back better next time. Hugo: I know, just playing with you! Rickin: You do enjoy doing that now and again. We're almost out of time for this week. Next week Dutch Mantell will be back on the program after his intense brawl with Hangman Bobby Jaggers. Hugo: And Ricky Santana will have a surprise partner against Owen and Bruce Hart! Rickin: Be sure to tune in, we'll see you next week fans.

I think the term "credibility" within the wrestling business is a little suspect in general. My guess would be that there are credible sources about wrestling and wrestling personalities. But they are credible about the places they have been and people they have spent time with, not everything. I enjoy listening to Jim Cornette talk about the territory days and share all of his detailed information on the places he has been. But as much as I agree with his view on modern wrestling, I think he should stick to not being a grumpy old bastard and talk about what he knows. At least most of the time, sometimes he's hilarious when he starts ranting. Nash seems like a guy who gets the business and understands why decisions are made. But he also seems to know the missteps he made and more than willing to cover his own ass. And he gets real bitter about wrestling not in his wheelhouse getting praise. Also, I wonder if he realizes his time on top in the WWF (his fault or not) was a real low point in the company's history. Yes, he drove ratings way up in WCW along with Hall and Hogan, but he could be a lot more honest with himself on the Dielsel run. All that being said, I find him to be very engaging and knowledgeable so I will watch him talk about wrestling. It's all going to come down to personal taste in the end and maybe you don't like cutting through Bruce Prichard's BS. I listened to him talk about the Montreal screwjob and I could care less what he has to say about much afterwards. I also have little care for Vince's views on wrestling as they run counter to mine in just about every way. So I probably won't be listening. I don't come down on the side of Meltzer either. A lot of the wrestling he loves doesn't do much for me.

Wisk- I mean DeBeers coming after Sarge is great. Adams will be flying solo soon. Spivey and Rotundo against the Varsity Club has a lot of promise. Douglas gets a big win over a Guerrero, but I imagine there is payback on the way in a tag or six-man. Loved the intro for Sabu and he's in an environment where he will thrive.

A few things here. I doubt jdw was run off by JvK. Both could be very divisive posters admittedly, but both had a lot to add to the discussion that ought to be appreciated even by their detractors. Something I would also say about shodate. The grammar and mayb-maybe-not-trolling won't be missed, but he had some odd match choices that did add to the flavor of the site. And I would also say that we very much have a new generation of significant posters on the side of modern pro wrestling and older pro wrestling than we had even 3 years ago. Regardless of the reasons for it, people like jdw, JvK and Dylan to name a few have mostly moved on. I would hope that in the future some of those in the newer generation who needed to show up at every turn compounding the shodate problem (if I'm honest, there was a problem there, not sure how big) learned from this experienced and handle it better in the future. Sad to see Magnum take a break, because I like the British wrestling more than a bit myself and always enjoyed his takes on it. And finally, we should all be glad that Loss is as understanding and willing to give chances as he is. Otherwise I'm sure we'd have a much smaller board with less to offer.

I liked Tui coming in to avenge his loss a lot. Brown Sugar against the Assassin would have been a fun match. Backlund vs. Rheingans is one of the better undercard feuds going on right now. Duggan winning the main is a great way to send the fans home happy.

I liked the TV with the Bar Room Brawlers getting themselves a new name and a couple of marquee matches that extend storylines. You also set up a couple of amazing tag matches with probably the biggest threat to the Roadies so far in Abby/Singh as a team. Dibiase's promo hit all the right notes and he is really making his mark in Flair's absence. Kernodle attacking Kirchner in Canada is a perfect way to cap off the heel turn. St. Clair and Singh is a good clash of styles feud. Who is going to get the big boost (and really tough feud that comes with it) of beating Bundy for the $10k? Midnights come in and put Hot Property over even while they win, which is I think why they are the champs in the first place. Johnson gives Teddy all he can handle, but comes up short. I like Rocky Johnson as a just below main event level face that can threaten all of the heels on the roster.

Great promo by the Horsemen. Good to see a TV title come into play with all that midcard talent around. Making the Flair/Hogan match Hogan's last shot is a really good idea to make the match big. Rockers vs. Power and Glory should be a fun feud that hopefully gets both teams over.

6-man tag, Devastation tag, Brad Armstrong and JJ teaming up is big all look great. Cornette cuts a great promo and that end of the show is awesome for Wright's army. Oh yeah, and that Magnum guy.

Owen getting the win over Benoit is big. Kernodle taking the Canadian International Title is HUGE. Benoit beating Adonis is a nice comeback win. Samoan SWAT Team continues their dominance.

I am all for the not feeding the trolls philosophy. Just an effective way of dealing with it.

I looked at the tecnico side of this and immediately hated 2/3rds of it. But then... The tecnicos jumping the rudos and never letting up, throwing referees out of the way is so awesome. I also liked that Konnan and Rayo ditched their shitty normal spots in favor of just punching dudes in the face with a vengeance. More of THOSE guys. Chicana dragging a fan into the match was incredible. Mascara Ano 200 smothering the announcer/interviewer with Rayo was fucking great too. Perro manges to find himself under a row of seats and I wish we got to see how that happened. End of the first fall was great with Caras being the biggest asshole in the world and pulling Konnan up despite being able to pin him with one had. Over and over again. Then he pins him with one finger. Hell yes. Great comeback by the tecnicos, with Perro's offense looking great. I will agree that Sangre was indeed the star here. Everything he did here came off like gold, even the flub. Could have used some blood, but what an awesome match.

Adams is building momentum. Kabuki and Blackwell with another bloody match, I love it. Tanaka and Pillman would have been fun. Last 2 matches again would have sold me on the whole card.

Great opening, putting Nikita over as a force of nature. Martel is crazy to want to fight Nikita that badly if you ask me. Rich destroying Gilbert smacks of a double turn. Ladd is going to regret messing with the Seminole Warrior. Ron Wright finding himself a 400+ pounder means bad news for the good guys.

Good, stiff match between these two. Nothing spectacular, but it had all the stiff shots you could ask for and I liked that they kept it simple. With the way they wrestled the match going too big would have gone away from the expectation they had created.

I got the feeling that Vader and Bigelow were out of trouble after the moonsault kickout. Mutoh puts in a valiant effort, but can't stand up to both monster gaijin. Vader and Bigelow is an awesome gaijin team.

Inoki showing sportsmanship was a nice touch. Martel going over in the main despite the last few days was such a great way to put him over.

I'd say that Stomper and Lewin could get the tag belts. Stevens all the way for the HW belt.

There are questions within this question. What is the match trying to accomplish? Does it overstay it's welcome? Are parts of the match that make it work cut short? Did the wrestlers run out of things to do that were relevant? Were there parts added that didn't fit the story the match was trying to tell? Were elements missing that needed to be there for the story to work? It's pretty easy to figure out that I love Puerto Rican wrestling. Most matches in PR in the 80s don't make 20 minutes. The style is pretty simple and roughly 10-15 minutes feels like enough. Usually the babyface is beating the heel up at the end (happy crowd) or the heel got one over (angry crowd, more heat for next time). They accomplish what they set out to do and don't tack on needless extra minutes of guys punching and kicking each other. That's just one promotion though. I've seen WCW tags from the early 90s that were really, really good. Bordering on great. But they were midcard matches or not given a ton of time and the heat gets cut down to almost nothing before the hot tag. The heels (usually the Midnights or DA) have plenty in the tank to make the heat last, but the time isn't there. So it can go both ways.

Spivey vs. Sawyer would have been all kinds of fun. Zenk vs. Lafon is turning into a fun feud with the supporting cast joining in. The Guerreros again come through as a unit. They need to challenge for the NWA 6-Man at some point while they have their belts. Adams is really coming on strong of late and I am very interested to see where his story goes.

Piper going out due to his own miscalculation is a great finish. Loved Pillman gutting it out. Rose vs. Orndorff would have been a great match with an even better turnabout finish by Orndorff. Martel vs. Gordy should be great.

Thanks I am giving you one of my favorite matches of all time. Matt says I take leaps of faith on things. I saw a picture of this in PWI and wanted to see it. Dan Severn vs Tarzan Goto I liked the early establishment of advantages and trying to avoid giving the opponent their strong suit. I did think the first time Severn rolled out that Goto not following didn't follow the story they had laid out with the opening. Goto tossing chairs down at Severn was a great, great visual. The announcing could have used a lot of work, but American announcing of Japanese matches was never that good. I also wish Goto had sold the water wheel drop more, but Goto is not known for his selling. Good match even with the warts. Got brought the stiffness and weapon shots you expect. Severn played his role really well. As an aside, was wrestling considered the big leagues in 1995 while the UFC was still on the rise? Seems like Severn should have been in MMA at the time not wrestling.

Zenk and Lafon could be a really fun feud. Zenk joining Sullivan's crew is going to make the fans angry for sure. Douglas learning against the Guerreros is a good program. The last two matches on that card would have had my money any day of the week and maybe twice on Sunday.

Original airdate April 25th, 1986 (Originally airing in Spanish on WAPA Channel 4 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This broadcast is translated to English where applicable.) The opening montage featuring highlights of Carlos Colon, Chicky Starr, Invader 1, Invader 2, Invader 3, Abdullah the Butcher, Hercules Ayala, Bam Bam and Dutch Mantell plays. Carlos Colon doing a cartwheel and coming up fists at the ready leads to the WWC logo as the music ends. NWA and Capitol Sports Presenta Los Campeones De La Lucha Libre Con Tus Luchadores Favoritos De Fama Mundial Rickin Sanchez and Hugo Savinovich sit smiling at the commentary desk in Coliseo Municipal Pedro Rodriguez Gaya De Catano. Rickin: Welcome to another exciting week of World Wrestling Council action fans. We have a lot to talk about tonight. Hugo: A lot happened in Roberto Clemente Coliseum!! Rickin: A lot indeed. First and foremost we need to address what happened to Carlitos Colon. It has been determined that Abdullah the Butcher threw ammonia into his eyes. Doctors are unsure if Colon will be able to see again. Hugo: EVER!!?!? Rickin: Yes. There is a chance this could be permanent, I believe the chances the doctors gave Carlitos were along the lines of a 30 percent chance of regaining his vision. Hugo: That's going a little far.... Rickin: I think any sane man would agree. We can also be pretty sure that Bam Bam is no longer with Barrabas. Hugo: I'm not sure he has wanted to be for a while! Rickin: Probably true. Bam Bam knocked Barrabas out cold after Barrabas cost him the match last weekend. I can't imagine either man wants to continue their working relationship. Hugo: I wouldn't want a man who knocked me out cold in my stable! Rickin: Exactly. Tonight we have a lot of great action for you. Both los Mercenarios and the team of Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher will be in action. Hugo: Boyd and the Crusher need a win after Castillo and Perez beat them on the 19th. Rickin: It wouldn't hurt. Especially since they are Barrabas' only clients right now. Ron Starr, one half of the Caribbean Tag Team champions, will be in singles action. Hugo: Ron is a great wrestler and a treat to watch! Rickin: His allegiances concern me, but that is true. The Rock and Roll RPMs will be in action as well. As will be Abdullah Tamba. Hugo: Little Abdullah!....Er...Just remember it wasn't him last weekend. Rickin: I know that, but I doubt these fans will take it easy on him or Chicky Starr so soon. Hugo: Did Chicky know that was going to happen!??!? Rickin: I imagine he did, but there is no proof. Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez will be out to the desk before their match tonight, our main event, as well. Hugo: They have to be feeling good about their big win! Rickin: It will be interesting to see their reaction. Barrabas will stop b the desk, as will Owen Hart and his older brother Bruce. Hugo: I wonder how Owen will handle that conversation. Rickin: We'll have to see. Los Invaders will stop by the desk as well. Ricky Santana will join Chicky Starr in the Sports Shop this week. Hugo: If he gets time! Chicky will have a lot to talk about!! Rickin: He most certainly will. Los Mercenarios are on their way to the ring and the crowd is voicing their displeasure. Hugo: But they are saving their garbage! Rickin: I imagine for one Chicky Starr. Hugo: I agree.. Rickin: Los Mercenarios had a brawl that spent more time outside the ring than in it with los Super Medicos in Roberto Clemente Stadium. Hugo: Do you think that is finished? Rickin: Something tells me it isn't. Los Mercenarios seem ready for a fight and they are rushing the ring. Referee Tomas Marin is calling for the bell. Los Assassins (1 & 3) vs. Los Mercenarios The Mercs use their standard brawling tactics after the ambush. A big headbutt by Merc 1 stops Assassin 3's comeback. Merc 2 takes the tag and hits a running senton after a rib breaker by Merc 1. This is enough for the three, but the Mercs are not done. Los Mercenarios by pinfall in 5:11 with a rib breaker/senton combo Rickin: There is no reason for this. Hugo: I think we've seen enough wrestlers hurt lately... Rickin: Yes we have. We'll be right back after these messages with Barrabas, Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher stopping by the desk before their match. (Commercial Break) 0-10:00 Rickin: Welcome back fans. I am joined by Barrabas and his remaining clients Jonathan Boyd and- Barrabas: Excuse me?! Bam Bam is still a client. He is resting after a match in Japan yesterday if you must know! He'll be back! Rickin: Okay. Until then, we have Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher to talk about. They lost- Barrabas: They were robbed. Did you not see Castillo pulling Jonathan Boyd's trunks?! Rickin: I saw a missile dropkick and a legal three count. Barrabas: Of course you did! You are loving this aren't you?! Don't get used to it, Rickin Sanchez! Barrabas storms off towards the ring with Boyd and the Crusher in tow. Rickin: That went about as well as I thought it would. Hugo: Maybe I should interview him! Rickin: It's not a bad idea. Boyd and the Crusher have an important match in front of them. Hugo: They really need the win here! Rickin: Yes they do. They are a very good team, but it had to be a tough loss for them after how dismissive Barrabas was of Castillo and Perez. Hugo: That is usually a tactic to psych out the other team before a big match. Rickin: One that didn't work this time. Hugo: Not always, no. Rickin: I believe that Barrabas underestimated his team's opponents and that cost them. He just ordered Boyd and the Crusher to attack before the bell. Referee Ricky Vargas has no choice but to start the match. Los Tejanos vs. Jonathan Boyd & the Crusher Boyd's energetic brawling and the Crusher's power keep the advantage through most of the match. A big boot from Crusher catches Tejano 1 as he hits the ropes for momentum. Crusher tags in Boyd and holds Tejano's arms behind his back. Boyd hits the three point clothesline for the three. Jonathan Boyd & the Crusher by pinfall in 5:24 with an assisted three point clothesline Rickin: Barrabas seems happy with that win. Hugo: Yes! He hasn't ordered them to attack after the match! Rickin: Sometimes you appreciate the small things. We'll be back with Chicky Starr's Sports Shop. Ron Starr will be in action as well. Hugo: You'd better stay tuned!! You don't want to miss either one!! (Commercial Break) 10:00 - 17:00 Hugo: You're going to be glad you stuck around!! It's time for the Sports Shop!! The Sports Shop intro plays and we cut to Victor on the Sports Shop set with a microphone. Victor (wooden): It is my pleasure to introduce the hottest wrestler and manager in the World Wrestling Council. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the most exciting, most charismatic, best dressed man in Puerto Rico, Chicky Starr. Chicky walks on set in his custom suit, clearly angry. His Caribbean Tag Team Title is draped over his shoulder. He picks up a microphone and sits down. Chicky: Ladies and Gentlemen, I apologize. My legal department was not successful last week in forcing the World Wrestling Council to air the Spirts Shop. As a result you were robbed of the part of the show you tuned in to see. Be assured that legal action is in motion and your voice will be heard. Chicky pauses and shakes his head. Chicky: As many of you know, the imminent defeat of Los Invaders was averted by an attack. It seems los Pastores have no respect for title matches. If los Pastores are going to continue assaulting los Invaders, which seems to be the case, I want new challengers for the belts. It seems the WWC cannot control these madmen. Chicky looks off-stage and gets angry again. Chicky: Was something I said funny?! If you're going tot continue to interrupt me and be a distraction we might as well just get on with it. Welcome my guest this week, the inaugural, undeserving WWC Light Heavyweight Champion Ricky Santana. Santana walks on set and picks up a mic before sitting down. He has his belt over his shoulder. Chicky: How does it feel to cheat your way to a win over a man you can't beat cleanly? Santana: You have a lot more experience with that than I do. Why don't you let the fans in on why you like it so much? Chicky: And in front of his older brother no less. Bruce Hart had every right to complain about both you and that awful referee. He should have decked you too! Santana: I've had enough of Owen Hart's nonsense in the ring and out of it. It's time he got a taste of his own medicine. His brother will find out in time what he's been up to. Chicky: Since when was winning all of your matches with a pinfall off a clean move something to be ashamed of? Santana: You're such a hypocrite. I'm sure you wanted Owen Hart for this week's show, but he can't be here. Chicky: Oh, and why is that? Santana: Because he is trying to play nice for his older brother. Can't very well bring him on YOUR show. Chicky: I'm sure somebody understands what you are talking about. Santana: Do you want to know why I came here today? Why I even agreed to be on your sham of a show again? Chicky: If you insult my show again I'll have Victor beat you senseless. Then I'll make sure you never wrestle again. And I don't care why you came on my show. You can leave any time you like. Santana: I was about leave to anyway. Funny how you'd need your statue over there to do the dirty work first though. I came to tell you that you and your boys better watch your backs. After what you had Abdullah the Butcher do to Carlitos you're not going to get any mercy at all! Santana walks off set and Chicky sits looking into the camera and shaking his head. Chicky: If anyone thinks I had anything to do with Abdullah the Butcher throwing ammonia into Carlitos Colon's eyes, they are mistaken. I looked up after Carlitos had knocked me off the apron and Abdullah had won the match. I had no idea Colon had been blinded...but then again, I won't be disciplining Abdullah the Butcher anytime soon either. Carlitos Colon is the lowest of the low and deserves any pain he is going through! Chicky pauses, smiles and nods. Chicky: That's it for another edition of Chicky Starr's Sports Shop. Next week I'll be talking to El Profe and TNT, be sure to tune in. It's not close to possible they can be as bad a guest as Ricky Santana. Cut to the desk. Rickin: That was... Hugo: Somewhat expected? Rickin: I expected him to be angry, and to taunt Ricky Santana. But to deny having a part in the blinding of Carlitos Colon. I don't know if I buy it. Hugo: Abdullah can be very unpredictable. It's part of what makes him dangerous! Rickin: Fair enough. But Chicky Starr seems to accept the results easily enough. Hugo: The war escalated! If he doesn't accept that and act accordingly it will not go well for him. Rickin: That's a good point. Here comes Ron Starr, flanked by Chicky. Hugo: And the fans certainly have their garbage ready! Rickin: Security almost needed to step in there. (As an aside, the WWC had military police at ringside with batons to keep the fans in line.) Hugo: The fans are going to blame Chicky for Carlitos.... Rickin: It may become necessary to keep him off of TV. Hugo: Yes, for his own safety and that of the fans. Ron seems to want a fan to jump the railing! Rickin: I'm very sure that would go badly for a fan. Hugo: Me too! Rickin: We're ready to go. Referee Victor Quininez just called for the bell. El Vikingo vs. Rambo Ron Starr Starr uses his big elbows, a side suplex and a vertical suplex to control. Vikingo fires off some punches, but Starr hits an elbow followed by a big knee lift. A brainbuster DDT follows, more than enough to get the three. Rambo Ron Starr by pinfall in 4:04 with a brainbuster DDT Rickin: Ron showed his versatility in the ring tonight. Hugo: Impressive with how hot the fans are at he and Chicky! Rickin: True enough. Not that I can blame the fans. Wait a minute. Hugo: Here come los Invaders and Hercules Ayala! And los Super Medicos! Rickin: Al Madril is sending los Mercenarios out, and there is Abdullah Tamba. Hugo: This is getting out of hand!! Rickin: In a few minutes I'll be talking to Owen and Bruce Hart at the desk. Then we'll see Abdullah Tamba in action. This is going to take some time to clean up. We'll be right back. (Commercial Break) 17:00 - 26:00 Rickin: Welcome back fans, I'm told los Invaders and Hercules Ayala have been detained in the locker room until the end of our next match to keep things under control. (English) I am joined now by Owen and Bruce Hart. Last week- Bruce: I apologize for interrupting, but I wanted to say something. I may have come across as rude or overly angry last Saturday. I didn't mean to be. It's just that the first thing I saw when I got here was my baby brother getting booed, trash thrown at him. Then he wrestles a great match and the other guy blatantly hits him in the groin. He's told me things are a little different here... Rickin: Bruce, your brother isn't- Owen: Rickin is trying to tell you that i'm not well-liked sometimes because I don't use the style that they like here. It's a little different, like you noticed on last Saturday. Bruce: It is. A little loose on the rules. There should have been a lot more count-outs.... Rickin: Bruce, I know you wonder about what happened in that match last wee. What you don't know is- Owen: Ricky Santana and I have a very heated rivalry. In the heat of the moment he panicked because he couldn't get the job done. Did you know that Rickin here has been very supportive and offered all kinds of good advice on how to grow as a wrestler? Bruce: Really? I appreciate that Rickin. My brother may come off a little arrogant at times, buthe's generally a good kid. Rickin: Well, I....I did give Owen a lot of advice. It's just a shame that- Owen: These people have yet to accept me as a wrestler. Yes it is. One of the first things Rickin said to me was that young wrestlers very often find themselves in a tough spot and end up taking shortcuts. He was very adamant that it was the wrong way to go. Bruce: That's a good piece of advice. Sounds like something Dad would say. You should talk to this Santana kid about that. He seems like he could use that kind of guidance. Rickin: Owen has mentioned often how he wants to do well and prove himself to you and his family. Bruce: He's got a natural talent for wrestling. I don't think he has to prove anything. He had a great match last Saturday marred by one infraction of the rules. He just needs time to develop and he'll do great. Thanks for giving him a helping hand while he's away from home. Rickin: I don't know- Owen: Rickin isn't very good at taking praise. You can talk him up all you want, but he will just tell you he's doing his job. Bruce: Another reason he's a great role model. If that's how it is, we'll head down to the ring and stop embarassing you Rickin. Thanks again for being a mentor to Owen. Owen: It is appreciated. Bruce extends his hand and shakes Rickin's, Owen following suit. Owen gives Rickin a playful wink before heading to the back behind his brother. Rickin: (Spanish) That was one of my more frustrating interviews. Hugo: Owen Hart is outright lying to his own brother!! Rickin: It's...hard to believe, even of Owen Hart. We go from disbelief to more garbage being thrown at Chicky Starr as he leads Abdullah Tamba to the ring. Hugo: He's going to have to deal with a lot of this as we tour Puerto Rico! Rickin: Yes, but our security has an easier time in the bigger arenas. Hugo: They do! The fans are farther away from the wrestlers. Even if Abdullah Tamba is big enough to scare most of them. Rickin: He's going to be a big part of Chicky Starr's security going forward. And Chicky will need him. Hugo: Yes he will! Rickin: Ring announcer Eliud Gonzalez has finished and there is the bell. Armandito Salgado vs. Abdullah Tamba Tamba controls the whole match with overhand chops and power wrestling. He hits a throat thrust to knock down Salgado, whips him to the ropes and sends him outside with a body attack. The big tope follows and Salgado is counted out. Abdullah Tamba by countout in 1:57 after a tope Rickin: Abdullah Tamba continues to impress. Hugo: Little Abdullah is very agile for 270 pounds! Rickin: Indeed he is. When we come back we'll have los Invaders at the desk and the Rock and Roll RPMs in action. Don't touch that dial. (Commercial Break) 28:00 - 34:00 Rickin: We're back with los Invaders. That is the second time los Pastores have specifically attacked one of you three. It seems like there is some bad bloood there. Invader 1: If there wasn't before last week there is now! We desperately want to take the Caribbean Tag Titles from los Primos Starr, but it seems like we have to deal with los Pastores first. Invader 2: Invader 1 and I are asking the WWC to schedule a tag team street fight with los Pastores in Hiram Bathorn Stadium on July 5th. Los Pastores don't play by any rules, so let's fight them on those terms! Rickin: That would be a very different matchup than they have faced so far. I'm interested to see if los Pastores are as aggressive when their opponents have no rules either. Invader 2: They will be. I don't think they know any other way to be. Invader 1: They aren't much better than animals if you ask me. If we don't go in with that same ferocity we won't stand a chance. Rickin: Invader 3, I have heard that on May 16th you and WWC Light Heavyweight Champion Ricky Santana will square off for a chance to wrestle NWA Light Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit on July 5th. Invader 3: Yes. It's a shame my ribs were injured right before the tournament. I was looking forward to competing for the WWC Light HEavyweight Championship. Ricky did a great job in the tournament against tough competition. I'd like to think I would have given him a run for his money, but we'll find out in 3 weeks. Rickin: How are your ribs? Invader 3: Almost healed up. In 3 weeks I will be ready for the big match with some tune-ups under my belt. Ricky has improved a lot and most of it has to do with atittude. He's not willing to just let a guy like Owen Hart cheat his way to winning. Invader 2 : Once I heal up I have a score to settle with Hart as well. Invader 3: It's nice to know going in that I will have a good, clean match with Ricky. The better man that night will go on to challenge for NWA gold on the 5th of July. I look forward to getting in the ring with Ricky. Rickin: I think we are all looking forward to that match now too. The three of you are all a little banged up as a result of los Pastores and Chicky Starr's Corporation. It has been mentioned on this broadcast that the war has escalated. Your thoughts? Invader 2: Chicky Starr has something against los Invaders and Carlitos Colon and has for a long time. This time he went too far. Anyone associated with Chicky Starr will pay the price! Invader 3: We have a lot of friends. The Rock 'n' Roll RPMs, Huracan Castillo Jr., Miguelito Perez, Ricky Santana, Los Super Medicos, Hercules Ayala. All friends of ours. And Carlitos Colon's. Chicky Starr is in over his head and he will find that out very soon! Invader 1: Carlitos Colon has been my friend for a long time. We have had each other's back for longer than Chicky Starr has been involved in wrestling. Yes, we have fought before and meant it. But we always came back to our friendship sooner rather than later. He is my best friend in this world. Invader 1 stops to collect himself and rubs at his eyes. Invader 1: When Abdullah the Butcher threw ammonia into Carlitos Colon's eyes, he may have blinded my best friend for life! I don't know about you Rickin or any of these people, but that pisses me off! Abdullah the Butcher was Chicky Starr's client. Whatever half-hearted denial he may offer up can never be enough against the thought that MY FRIEND may be blind for life. So Chicky Starr, if you think for one second that you escape punishment for this you are dead wrong. Yes, we may not be fighting you on July 5th. Los Pastores are not welcome in the WWC at all right now. When we asked we were told they were suspended indefinitely with a ban on the table. If the match gets signed they won't be around until July 5th. By my calendar that gives us, all of us, over two months to make sure you and yours pay. If not, you'll be seeing us again and it won't be pretty. Either way, you had better pray that you make it to July 5th! Rickin: A very angry and determined Invader 1. I hope Chicky Starr is ready for this. Hugo: Concern for Chicky?!? Rickin: Invader 1 and Colon can be very violent and vengeful when that time comes. You have to be with some of the things we have seen. Hugo: Yes! But remember that Chicky can be very cagey and is not known for being forgiving! Rickin: That is how he got into this, yes. Here come the Rock and Roll RPMs. They have to be in the conversation as challengers for los Primos Starr if los Invaders get their match. Hugo: Do you think they pushed los Invaders towards that match to get a title shot?!? Rickin: I don't believe that for a second. Hugo: People will go a long way to get gold... Rickin: I think los Pastores pushed los Invaders that direction. Attacking los Invaders on multiple occasions has repercussions, as you know. Hugo: Yes, I do know that. Rickin: The fans are very happy to see these two tonight. Hugo: They also might be a little excitable after Invader 1's speech! Rickin: That is a part of it yes. But these two have built a good following over time. It looks like we're ready to start. Mr. W and Z vs. the Rock 'n' Roll RPMs The RPMs use their smooth teamwork to control the match and keep Z in their corner. A short comeback by Z is stopped short by a Lane dropkick and he tags in Davis. The side slam/neckbreaker combo puts Z down for the 3. The Rock 'n' Roll RPMs by pinfall in 5:15 with a side slam/neckbreaker combo Rickin: The Rock and Roll RPMs continue to build their momentum. Hugo: They have had a lot of wins lately! Rickin: Yes, and clean wins at that. When we return Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez will be joining me at the desk before their match. Don't go anywhere fans. (Commercial Break) 34:00 - 44:00 Rickin: Welcome back fans. I'm proud of these two young men I am talking to tonight, Huracan Castillo Jr. and Miguelito Perez. It must have felt great to get that win last week. Castillo: It was incredible Rickin. That crowd was behind us all the way and when we got that 3 count they just exploded. I can't tell you how much that meant to me. Knowing that the crowd was as invested in us winning as we were. Perez: That was one of the greatest feelings I've ever experienced. We've talked about it and it's still something I don't quite understand. There was something else that happened after the match that we both loved. Rickin: I think I know what this is, but I'm going to let you tell everyone. Perez: I appreciate that. After the match we looked over to the entrance and both of our fathers were celebrating our win right along with the crowd. We got to celebrate the biggest win of our careers with our role models and mentors, our fathers. Castillo: It was amazing. All my life, and I know Miguelito feels this way too, I've wanted to be a wrestler like my dad. I've wanted to see him looking at me with pride because I made it as a wrestler. I got to see what that looks like. Rickin: It's great that the two of you could celebrate with the fans and your fathers. I will say that you two earned that celebration with blood, sweat and more than a few unfortunate setbacks. Castillo: There is one more person we have to thank. That would be you Rickin Sanchez. Perez: These fans wouldn't be behind us as much without your support. When you say something, they listen. The fans support the wrestlers you support and we're glad you believe in us just as much as our fathers do. Rickin: I simply tell the fans what I see. If that is something that helped you two, then I must have seen something good. Perez: Modest to a fault, that's what dad says. Castillo: And it's true, but I don't think anyone will hold it against him. Thank you Rickin. Let's go Miguelito. Rickin: There go two very happy young men. They have a lot to be happy about after last week. Hugo: They do! I see you have fans!! You deserve them, you know. Rickin: I am an announcer Hugo. I talk to wrestlers and wrestling fans about wrestling. Speaking of wrestlers, Castillo and Perez are definitely getting a lot of attention from the fans on their way to the ring. Hugo: Have it your way. They are stopping to shake hands with the fans on their way to the ring! Rickin: They are showing their appreciation in more ways than just saying it. That is an important thing. Hugo: Just so they don't get too overzealous and forget the wrestling! Rickin: I doubt they'll do that. They are very focused in the ring and they have tremendous teamwork. Hugo: They do! Both of them came up together and it shows in how they work as a team. Rickin: Referee Victor Quinonez has called for the bell. Here we go. Mr. X and Y vs. Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez Castillo & Perez show off their quick tags and smooth, legal teamwork. X is on the verge of a big comeback when Castillo catches him with a running lariat. He tags in Perez, who rolls X up with el Coqui (standing victory roll) for the 3 count. Huracan Castillo Jr. & Miguelito Perez by pinfall in 5:13 with el Coqui (standing victory roll) Rickin: Castillo & Perez with another win. They are on a roll and I think the rest ofthe tag teams in the WWC better watch out. Hugo: I'm sure they will want to get into the Caribbean Tag Title picture along with their friends the Rock 'n' Roll RPMs! Rickin: That may take some time, but time is something these two have. We're out of time fans. Be sure to tune in next week.

Bullies continue to be one of my favorites of yours. Adams in a no time limit title match? Intriguing. Piper and Jake at each others throats with the supporting cast are my absolute favorite angle you have right now. Zenk must have heard about the alternate universe Can Am Express. Rose with a mysterious ally, but that does make things even up for a 6-man bout!
