Heading to the West Coast... I wish Bob Orton's luck would change. Brian Pillman is fighting his way back though which I am all about. Regal and Brookside reminds me of this AEW group that Regal has put together. Sometimes things are too good to be true. Bock and Ron... such a fun little mix of styles. The fact that Bock has to cheat really makes this a good outing for Simmons. Backlund with a win... he now has the momentum... can he turn the final corner and get the gold? I think Mr. Backlund has what it takes!

A little bit of a production build up with a hard camera plus we have a handheld at ringside. There is also an elevated ramp and special entryway for the wrestlers. It is time to head to the ring where Joe Pedicino is announcing our first contest… Chris Champion w/ Sean Royal vs Tommy Lane w/ Mike Davis Hot opener with a real big feud brewing with these two men and their respective teams Champion has got star written all over him while Lane and Davis are serviceable talents who are doing a great job in their respective roles These guys go about 8-minutes with some fast and furious action The final moments see Mike Davis get involved leading to Sean Royal going over to attack him For whatever reason the referee jumps out to stop Royal while Davis runs into the ring The RPMs hit a DOUBLE DDT on Champion and then Davis rolls out as the referee rolls in for the 1…2….3!!! {The RPMs scamper away like thieves in the night. The crowd is not happy about this one as Royal wakes up Champion and they work the fans but then make chase down the aisle and up the ramp! We then cut to the ring as the Texas Hangman comes out with a hood and whip. Then we see the debuting Scott Hall!} Scott Hall vs the Texas Hangman The Big Guy who hails from St. Paul, Minnesota comes out and he looks awesome The Hangman attacks him right from the get go and we see a pretty good heat segment The match itself is only 5-minutes Hall is roughed up but then hits a huge boot out of nowhere to turn the tide Hall then works the fans and hits a series of Power Moves on Hangman Hall then make a sign as he picks up the Hangman for a FALL AWAY SLAM and the 1…2….3!!! {Hall makes quick work of the Hangman and the crowd pops! We then see Danny Spivey come down and congratulate him as they shake hands. Hall says he is here to make an impact just like Spivey. They said together and individually they are here to raise the bar and show these fans what it is all about! Spivey puts over the street fight later… what a match that’s going to be! We then see the Nasty Boys come out and work the fans. Then we see Rotundo come out by himself… he looks pretty beat up… Pedicino goes up to see what happened and Rotundo says that they were attacked by the Grapplers in the back and Scott was hurt! That doesn’t stop the Nasty Boys though who run over and attack! Mike Rotundo & Scott Steiner vs The Nasty Boys This one has already got out of hand It is two on one with the Nasties working over Rotundo Mike just can’t seem to get going and whenever he gets close - the Nastys tag up and take control This goes on for about 7-minutes and just when Rotundo seems like he can’t take anymore… SCOTT STEINER comes out to a huge pop! He’s got a bloody bandage on his head He is screaming for a tag Rotundo counters a clothesline with one of his own and then leaps for the huge tag to Steiner! Scotty comes in with some HUGE clotheslines and back body drops! The Nasty Boys don’t seem to know what is going on Steiner then hits a huge POWERSLAM on Knobbs! It seems as though the adrenaline is wearing off though… Scott grabs his head and goes down to a knee This gives Sags a chance to run over and plant a knee right into Scott’s skull! The Nasties take over while Rotundo tries to get up Wait… now here comes the Grapplers Rotundo sees them and goes to confront them but inside the ring… the Nasties pick up Scott for a SPIKE PILEDRIVER 1…2….3! Rotundo runs in but he’s too late The crowd isn’t happy about this one as The Nasties continue to cement their spot in the tag team ranks {Rotundo continues to check on Scott who is in a bad way. They take a couple of minutes to get him out of the ring as they head up the aisle way… Scott Casey comes out next and gives them some encouragement as he heads to the ring. Behind him though… the Ugandan Giant… Kamala! Scott Casey vs Kamala w/ Skandar Akbar Scott Casey is a helluva hand but even he can’t seem to get the best of the Mighty Kamala here tonight The Ugandan Giant is just a terror out there and he beats the living hell out of Casey Akbar is outside of the ring going wild here as the fans are really giving Kamala the business The finish sees Kamala hit a huge bear hug slam… Kamala then with a splash! Kamala picks up Casey and throws him over the ropes to the floor! The referee counts to 10 but Kamala isn’t finished He goes outside the ring and does another SPLASH off of the ring steps. He is without question the most dangerous man in Windy City… who can stop him? {Next up we get some good hype for our Windy City Tag Team Championship. The crowd is ready to go as the Rockers come out to a great pop! Landel and Idol are led to the ring by Sherri and my golly she looks good tonight. What an event… let’s go to the ring.} WINDY CITY TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The Rockers © vs Austin Idol & Buddy Landel w/ Sherri Big match feel here and these guys bring everything they’ve got for a solid 25-minute contest Idol and Landel are just oozing out there and they get the fans all riled up Michaels and Jannetty both play to the fans so well The Rockers do get some good shine with some double team moves and high flying Idol and Landel give the boys their due and sell for them before taking back control Near the end of the contest it looks like Landel and Idol are going to finish things off but Jannetty makes a huge tag to Michaels who comes in like a house of fire Clotheslines! Arm Drags! Drop Kicks! Jannetty is back to his feet and hits a cross body on Idol that takes him over the top to the floor!

We have NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Idol and Landel are the new champions! The crowd is stunned here as Michaels gets up and his nose is busted The referee then goes to raise the hands of Landel and Idol and when he does the brass knucks fall out of Landel’s arm! The referee picks them up and shows them to Idol who says they aren’t his The Rockers are on their feet and nail a couple of huge right hands and then a pair of dropkicks!

The event will be the first time that Windy City will hold a 2-ring event with a 20-man over the top battle royal! The winner of that Battle Royal will earn a shot at the Windy City Champion at a later date. The crowd seems pumped as we get ready for our next contest….} Jimmy Snuka & Rocky Johnson vs Tama & Tonga w/ Skandar Akbar This is an interesting combination of Johnson and Snuka. Tonga and Tama appear to be on a really big run right now with their sights set on the Rockers This one is pretty fun with Snuka getting in there and mixing it up while Johnson also brings some real fire Tama and Tonga hit a couple of ice double team moves and quick tags before Snuka gets the hot tag and comes in like a house of fire This is about the time when we see Kamala wander back out to the ring. Akbar is telling him something Snuka with a couple of huge clotheslines and dropkicks before he tags Johnson back in This is when Kamala goes for Snuka who leaps at him and we’ve got a brawl in the aisleway! Meanwhile, Rocky goes back to look for a tag but no one is there When he turns around… Tonga comes with a kick that takes his HEAD OFF! Tonga picks up Johnson and hits a shoulderbreaker Tama off the top rope with a diving headbutt! Snuka is still outside the ring Inside we get the 3 count and the Samoan Savages have won it Tonga and Tama then join in with Kamala in beating the hell out of Snuka who looks like a mad man trying to fight them off {Officials come down to try and break this up. Akbar pulls his men back as Snuka wants all four of them! We get everything cleaned up and then we get a match a lot of people have been waiting for… here comes Jim Garvin with Precious… then we see Chris Adams and the crowd is ready for this one.} Chris Adams vs Jim Garvin This one has been building for quite some time…and they deliver These guys spend some time feeling each other out They spend some time getting some heat Garvin is able to work of the leg and try to subdue the superkick Adams fights with a nice fury that is unmatched in WCPW We get to the final moments as these men close in on the 20-minute time limit We see Garvin soften up Adams and then he goes for the hot shot suplex but Adams uses his momentum to go over his back Adams sets up and hits the SUPERKICK! Garvin goes down and Adams covers for the 1….2…. DING DING DING! Adams thinks he has won it Garvin seems to be laid out The referee then lets Joe Pedicino announce that the match is being awarded a TIME LIMIT DRAW! {Adams is irate as Garvin wobbles out of the ring to the floor. He has no clue what is going on right now and the crowd is letting him have it. We see Adams make chase but nothing doing. We go back to Joe Pedicino who welcomes in two new members of Windy City Pro Wrestling… Mike McGuirk and Craig DeGeorge! Mike will be doing the announcing for the matches and Craig will be sitting ringside with Joe calling the action… that brings out the WCPW Champion Austin Idol who is letting the fans have it… but then we see Harley Race come out and he is eye to eye with Idol. Idol says he has got a special surprise for Harley… then we see… from the back… oh my… it is… ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER! Harley Race vs Abdullah the Butcher I don’t think there was any way that Harley Race thought this would be the man Idol picked. Abdullah jumps right on top of Harley who looks like he’s fighting for his life right now. Race is throwing big time rights and lefts but Abby continues to come back Abby then pulls out the fork and my gosh Race is busted open. This one isn’t a classic and it doesn’t take long as Harley finds a way to fight back and he is rocking the big man Race throws him to the ropes and hits the flying knee but Abby is just stunned Race then goes for a BODY SLAM! The crowd is rocking but now Idol is outside the ring and he is getting Race’s attention Abdullah comes running but Race pulls the ropes down and Abby goes flying out into Idol! Race goes outside the ring and hammers away as the referee counts Idol tries to get involved and Race NAILS him with a huge right hand and the crowd explodes! Race then grabs Abdullah and RUNS HIM INTO THE RING POST! Race rolls in the ring right at the 10-count! {Race is the winner and he isn’t staying around the celebrate. The fans are chanting for him as he walks to the back with his eyes on Idol… someday these two are going to have to settle their issue. We then see the ring crew get ready for our next contest… here we go… what a main event.} Mike McGuirk: Ladies and gentlemen this is the main event of the evening. This match is sanctioned by Windy City Pro Wrestling. This match will be a no disqualification match with no time limit! Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first… he hails from Harlem, New York. Bad News Brown! His opponent… he hails from Atlanta, Georgia… Dangerous… Danny… SPIVEY! NO DISQUALIFICATION Danny Spivey vs Bad News Brown Big time contest with a lot on the line in terms of RESPECT here between these two The crowd is white hot for Spivey who is probably second to Race in terms of a pop right now These two go right to it with some big time rights and lefts and soon the fight goes out of the ring They use the guardrail They use the ring steps We even see Spivey throw Bad News on the announce table and everything go flying Bad News does get the upper hand with a nasty shot with the microphone right to Spivey’s head Spivey is busted and then Bad News goes to work He tosses him back in the ring and Bad News really starts pounding away Spivey attempts a big comeback but Bad News with a judo kick right to the gut and then the throat! Spivey is in a bad way as Bad News goes outside and he grabs… a chair! Brown comes back and swings but Spivey ducks and nails him with a big boot! The bloodied Spivey is trying to finish… Bad News comes again and BACK BODY DROP! Spivey then picks up the chair and NAILS Bad News in the back and he goes flying through the ropes You can tell Spivey is in a bad way… Bad News is weakened outside the ring Spivey goes out there to pick him up and tosses him back in the ring Spivey says it is time for the helicopter spin but Bad News with a LOW BLOW! Spivey goes down to his knees Bad News gets up… grabs a chair… oh my… HE CRACKS SPIVEY ON THE SKULL WITH THE CHAIR! Spivey crumbles down… Bad News covers for the 3-count… {Bad News has won it… what a match… these two left it all out there… my gosh. The fans aren’t sure what they’ve seen. Bad News then removes his wrist tape… oh my… he had some kind of a steel band underneath his tape…. That’s why the low blow worked! Scott Hall then runs back out to the ring before Bad News attempts to hit Spivey with the chair again… Bad News smiles as he walks off… he took this to a whole new level… how can Spivey even respond?!}

AWA is the major league and everything is on the rise here. Rich vs Mulligan is something I am interested in seeing now. Tommy Rich continues to be one of my favorite characters in our world. He is definitely on the top of the PWI 500 and he continues to take on contender after contender. Tremendous writing for him.

Womens Trio Championship... I cant' say that I have seen too many women's six-person tag matches... you've got some good names to present it though. I continue to be on the Medusa train... that didn't sound good... but she's my favorite right now of who you've got. Luna is right there with her ability to destroy anyone in her path.

Portland has got a hot show. Vic Steamboat over Bob Orton is an interesting one for me. I have always been a fan of him even if he's on the tail end of his career right now. I am really hoping that Flyin Brian can find his niche here... the big feud with Bubba put him on the map but now he has to keep his place. Harts and MXE show you've got a top tier tag division and the MXE are proving their worth.

I love how quickly you can put things into place. Manny comes right in. Makes an impact. You're towns are loaded with top guys to come see and not just one match cards which says a lot. Looking forward to Stan Hansen here in the future...

I got the go ahead to do my +5 Windy City will be hiring... Ranger Ross Fidel Sierra Lanny Poffo Italian Stallion Killer Khan Anyone have word on Craig DeGeorge? Mike McGuirk? If they're free, could I add them in announcer roles as Ring and PXP?

Sorry for the mix up everyone... let me know if things aren't a go.

I think the show was awesome. I also liked the format a lot. It was super easy to follow and got the points across. I really think you may be on to something when it comes to putting the shows together this way. Outside of that - keep your head up and pop in when you can. UWF is legit fun stuff every time it is on!

Scott Casey & Johnny Mantell come to Windy City The Moondogs are out.

Sherri comes over and RAMS Johnson into the ringpost The referee doesn’t see anything and continues to count Johnson is slow to get back in He makes one last effort to try and get in some offense but Landel counters with a huge back body drop!

Right now… let’s head to the ring for our next contest! Mike Rotundo w/ Scott Steiner vs The Grappler I w/ Grappler II This feud has taken a life of its own the last couple of weeks and now Scott Steiner has got some backup Grappler I & II are both out here for a pretty decent match Mike Rotundo is a great hand in the ring and he does some real good work putting Grappler over Midway through the contest we get a switcheroo and now Grappler II is in unbeknownst to the referee!

I am glad Kirchner is getting a little love somewhere after his short turncoat cup of coffee in Windy City. I am just not a fan of Greg... he didn't have it for me... I hope he gets what is coming to him. I have a good run with Dick Slater in the 1981 game... I think he has a great upside right now in his career. He could be someone that might just turn some heads through 87.

NWA is coming hot and heavy... your continued dedication is a great piece of our universe. I like some of these young guys getting a little run here. I love the battle royal to title shot gimmick. Brickhouse gets a chance that he may not usually get. I am also excited to see Stan Hansen and how he fits in with everything. There's no doubt he would be a main event prime time player in our world and without question he'll make his mark soon.

The gorgeous ladies of... wait sorry... these women are wonderful! It is fun to see how things are working out for Richter. She is the face of the promotion in some ways and her credibility isn't tarnished but rather built her into a bigger star in some ways. Good to see that Misty Blue can come and work between takes on her side gig.

BOCK! He is here and by golly he has made his presence known. The eventual Barry v Bock match is going to be something to really get excited about. He has the credibility that is second to few and he can only raise the world around him. Pillman's loss hurt me... in my heart... I want to see him on top of the world but he has a lot of ground to gain!

Next out is Scott Steiner who looks ready for a fight!} Scott Steiner vs the Grappler Steiner and the Grappler have had some issues as of late and this is a good continuation of that feud Steiner is able to throw Grappler around and Scotty looks like he’s ready to suplex him out of the ring The big moment happens when Steiner nails a huge belly to belly and Grappler does go out of the ring to the floor. Grappler then sneaks under the ring and on the other side… another Grappler comes out! Grappler II sneaks up behind Steiner and starts to pound on him The crowd is booing up a storm and the referee isn’t sure what to make of it Grappler II looks like he has the upperhand but Steiner turns the tide!

The referee has lost control as both Grapplers are working over Scott Steiner now They toss Scott outside the ring and then RAM HIS ARM INTO THE RINGPOST! Scott goes down in pain… then the Grapplers DO IT AGAIN! Wait a second… out of the crowd… Mike Rotundo! Rotundo jumps in the ring and throws some big right hands to back up the Grapplers who retreat! Steiner looks to be in serious pain… Rotundo is checking on him with other officials… {Steiner is being helped to the back and needless to say this doesn’t look great.

Kamala then hits the ropes and comes CRASHING DOWN with the BIG SPLASH! Kamala then picks up Johnson and goes for another PowerSlam but this time he tosses him over the ropes to the floor!

The referee tries to grab Bad News but he throws him down This one is a no contest… but that’s not all… Bad News proceeds to cut off Spivey’s hair!

WCPW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Harley Race vs Austin Idol © Perhaps the most important match in the short history of Windy City Pro Wrestling This one goes 18-minutes and it shows off the strengths of both men Idol is working the crowd something special and really builds up the heat Race… he’s slow and methodical and sells everything Idol does The match builds to a couple of huge moments The first big moment is when Race ducks a clothesline from Idol and then nails a huge high knee and gets a 2.99 count! The fans all thought Race had won it He is pleading with the referee This gives Idol the chance to turn the tide with a nasty low blow The last quarter of the math is a showcase for Idol who beats Race down…until… The fans begin to cheer for the grizzled veteran… Race seems impervious to pain! He is throwing some huge rights and then an inverted atomic drop! The two brawl and trade blows until Race ducks a shot and then NAILS Idol with a right hand! Race grabs him…. PILEDRIVER! Race staggers over and covers him for the 1……2…..3…NO! Landel runs out of nowhere and throws Idol’s foot up on the rope.

Race is down… Idol covers…1…..2….3!!! {The crowd is irate… we see Landel help Idol up and wok the fans… he is still the champ… hook or crook… the belt is still his. The fans are really eating this up as Landel and Idol then go back and they are wearing Race out in the middle of the ring… but out of the back runs Chris Adams! Adams runs down and he’s hammering both men and then a huge SUPERKICK to Landel that sends him over the top to the floor! Idol runs for a clothesline but Adams ducks and then comes back with a superkick and Idol goes down HARD! He is laid out in the middle of the ring! Adams grabs the belt and puts it on him. March 25th… Adams gets his chance… how will that turn out?}

Medusa is my gal here... I hope she takes control here... she is on the golden path if you will.

Tully is the NWA champion I always wanted. Like Flair... he was amazing right but there is something that he doesn't have that Tully does and it shows here. I am also a big fan of six-man tag team wrestling and you've done a masterful job here putting together the titles and also making them meaningful. I'd say right now, you're at the top of the heap and for good reason. Keep up the awesome work!

AWA continues to roll with some of the best wrestling in the country. Tommy Rich is without question one of the top wrestlers in our world. I actually love the International Title idea and something that could really have serious stakes if done correctly. After looking through this... you and the NWA are neck and neck for the top of the heap.

Love me some PCW and the main event...Steel Cage... Bubber vs Flyin Brian.... Bubber was the man with his hand raised but Pillman's stock is through the roof and he is going to be someone to really watch in 1987. A pretty fun ten man in there as well... Windham, Simmons, Hennig, Konnan, & Warrior... what a team! Also we've got Eddie and Art... 2/3 Falls...no winner. the question now is what can they do next? Will someone's hair be on the line?
