Anytime Rick Steiner can show his superior Steiner power... I am game. I am also big on Tully here... his success in the NWA was immeasurable and perhaps he can top those same heights here. Jake Brigance... interesting choice... love Time to Kill... it would be great to see it highlighted by Williams and Koloff.

You've got some of my faves here and you put them in good spots. Keep the Gang being the 100% baddest dude on the block. I love how the Harts are teaming with Pillman. We also get Hennig and Bock coming again... perhaps it is time for Hennig to shine on the brightest stage of them all.

NWA Tv... when anything can happen! Each match is moving someone up or something forward. Dundee steps back into the fold with a shot at the TV title next week. Big world title contender battle royal coming up. I think the thing that always intrigues me about your promotion is that there is a next step and you continue to move us in that direction.

As others have said... great card... Medusa is on top for just cause and I am hopeful to see her success continue. Misty with a good showing... Richter is still a force... Also... don't count out Velvet... I have a sneaking suspicion about her.

AWA is the major league of professional wrestling... but I am in now way a fan of Al Perez... plus he is the cause of an unjust Tommy Rich loss... my stomach turns for the rematch and vengeance. I like Zenk and Taylor in a long contest... to me... they were made for this... and you caw glimpses of it in 1990/1991 wcw tv. Great use of them here... it gives their value something when they can put on great matches on television for so many to see.

Windy City puts Kamala, Abdullah, Khan, and Kabuki on the block. These monsters need new homes.

Windy City Wrestling #3 -Schaumburg, IL Taped: 7/30 NO DISQUALIFICATION Blackjack Mulligan vs Kamala A knock down drag out brawl to finish off the issue between these two men Kamala is able to draw some blood early which kind of scares the fans who are so close to ringside Mulligan looks to go through the motions for all intents and purposes with little to no offense The finish sees Kamala with a powerslam on the concrete floor A big splash for the 3-count Kamala puts an end to this issue but who will be next on his list?

Orton and Slater plan to put an end to Rock N Roll once and for all! Harley Race says he won’t be a gentlemen when he faces Adams!

Man - I wish I had the drive that you do with the NWA here. It is top to bottom a complete promotion. Arn vs Flair is always an interesting concept. I am also a huge fan of the six-man titles. They could always be used in a good way just no one ever seemed to understand how to do it.

I love the dynamic of PCW. I do feel that you beat to the tune of your own drum and that's what makes these shows special for all of us. I like seeing Jim Neidhart on the other side of the Harts as I always thought he had a little more in the tank than given. I am also big on Nicky B carrying the torch and giving these youngsters steps in the ring directions.

I like the way you've rebranded this promotion and put some people in spots that they would had been in years ago but also make the promotion relevant in the current 1987. The JYD/Ladd dynamic is something to watch for. I also love the way you've been writing some of these promos... some really good lines. I am huge on Rick Steiner - I feel like he's poised for a huge second half of 87 and an enormous 88!

My girl Lisa - she is next in line and I'll be there ringside to see it... or host it at Windy City! On the other end... Medusa... winning everything... the titles have all build to this moment for her. I picture an Ultimo Dragon esq image with the titles... I remember when he debuted... with the titles... it meant something to me then and this means something special now.

I like the authority of Watts - a lot of people say Vince started something in he 90s but we all know that Watts was doing that Authority angle back in the 70s/80s. I hated to see Woman and Luger end... I always thought Lex could have used a woman but it looks like he has bigger things down the line. When I look at the big card coming up, I think this is going to be Luger's chance to explode but also show his value in comparison to Dibiase. There's a lot on the line here.

I like your TV set up a lot. You can see that my effort has gone down in recent years but this is what thee types of games are all about. You've created a way to see your product and it comes across well. I am personally pushing for Steamboat to be the man in the AWA come 88 but he's got some climbing to do with others in his way. Oh yeah - more Tommy Rich - I love it - he has honestly become one of my favorites over the last couple of years and the way you present him is amazing.

WCPW Presents: A Bad Night in Bloomington! July 29 - Bloomington, Illinois - Civic Center Scott Casey vs Bill Irwin Big night in Bloomington starts with Speedy Scott Casey going up against Wild Bill These guys get out of hand early and there are little to no rules being followed The referee follows the crowds advice of LET THE FIGHT!

Jake is hruting as the referee gets close… Elizabeth helps Savage in the ring and he serves as enough of a distraction for when Jake tries to get in… Jim Garvin runs down out of nowhere and rams him into the ringpost! 8….9….10! Savage is the winner at the 19:30 mark of the contest! Savage celebrates with Liz and you know it is just a matter of time before he has some gold around his waist!

WINDY CITY TAG CHAMPIONSHIP The Renegade Warriors vs Dick Slater & Bob Orton w/ Paul Jones A good showcase for Orton and Slater The Renegade Warriors are good… but nowhere near the level that Orton and Slater are The heels just control every moment of the contest and finish things off pretty easily The spike piledriver on Mark is all she wrote and another solid defense for the Untouchables. Chris Adams vs The Moondog Chris Adams is back in action and he comes with a fire tonight Moondog bites and claws but nothing too crazy The Gentlemen is in complete control and looks like he has got big things planned for his future The finish is a nice superkick and then the three count.

The finish sees Bam Bam hit Abby with a huge powerslam on a chair for the 3-count! Bammer continues to be on the rise but when will he find his way to Harley Race?!? Koko Ware vs Jim Garvin w/ Precious Another good outing for Jimmy Garvin who is putting together a legit resume here in Windy City Koko isn’t a slouch though and he brings a lot of fire Koko is bumping all over the place and he gives Garvin every ounce that he can handle The finish sees Garvin duck a crossbody from Koko and pull the rope down that sends Koko flying The referee continues the count while Garvin pulls him back before Precious comes over with the hair spray and sets Koko back! The crowd is screaming at Precious who is soaking it all in The referee gets to 10 - and Jim Garvin is the winner Wait just a moment… he and Precious are celebrating but the revenge is here JAKE ROBERTS runs down and he starts hammering away at Garvin with short lefts and then a running knee He picks him up for the DDT but Garvin ducks down and rolls out of the ring! Garvin and Precious run back up the aisle… Jake Roberts wants him and wants him bad!

Officials and agents come out… this is chaos… the fans going wild… Race unveils the Untouchables… we’ll see you tomorrow for our first TV SHOW!}

We've been doing this a while. I enjoyed what you put together here. It's a very easy format and easy to follow. I love the positioning of Dibiase here. He is the top dog for a reason. I am not sure about 1987 Chris Benoit, but I know he's probably got a lot of fire and tenacity so let's see what happens!

I saw it every week... NWA continues to roll... most consistent of us all and by golly you've got some really fun things happening. Hansen and the Road Warriors... the clash of clashes that everyone wants. I always liked to see teams split for singles matches if it builds to something else. The Warrior were so synonymous with one another... one breaking off into something big could be an intriguing way to go!

I wanted to go back to earlier... the AWA ring... gosh... if I could bust out some toy figures to set up for my shows... wowza. Anyways... Tommy Rich is the man... still... without question.... and without the title... but WITH Austin Idol who's coming off the run of a lifetime in Windy City cough cough. I like Bad News as the big name in this promotion and in reality he was one of the bigger stars of this era. I think he is a solid choice even when you've got guys like a Larry Z available to step in. Some fun twists and turns and definitely some great things to follow up on.

Wendi is on top baby and I love the main event as well. I liked that six-pack challenge the WWF did in 2000 and this is reminiscent of that. I am glad to see that the gold means something with the women and that it adorns them and builds up their personas. I am hopeful to have the ladies show back up in Windy city soon!

PCW has a pretty big couple of weeks of stuff going on here. Midnights v Simmons and Dingo is such a clash of styles and I love it. I like the little bit of turmoil with the Knights as well. Obviously that team with the Harts looks amazing on paper. I also want to pop back to the 90 minute 2/3 Falls Bock v Backlund match. This would have gone down in lore forever with these two involved. Fun way to bring something like that to life.

Major changes... a huge split... the Freebirds are back... I love it. I am hopeful that Nikita can get on top of the Mid South because I feel like this time period Nikita could be an ace... but fast forward a year... not so much. Tully Blanchard is a legitimate game changing talent... he has to be the one who looks to dominate the Mid South like he did with the NWA such a short time ago. Eddie Gilbert... a man who is known throughout the wrestling world... I need to buy into him and I think you can sell him. Looking forward to the progress of this promotion.

@kevinmcfl Could I utilize Billy Robinson, who is retired, as a color guy? He would never work in the ring but rather be a character in the broadcast.
