General Chatter Thread V2.0
As October approaches, we are at a new era for this game. The territories have fallen to the wayside with major groups raising and acquiring talent from around the world. Tomorrow morning at 8am CT, free agents from around the world will be looking to get contracts with the major promotions. Those unsigned will be working with independent promotions around the country. We will look to add some of those promotions in the coming months. As we work as a group we are looking to build on the momentum we have and put together the spectacular writing we're known for and look for more writers in the future.

WWF on Tour September 1986
WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling 9/29 Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: Denver, CO - McNichols Arena PT opens this week with footage of Sting in the parking lot and he is waiting on the Nasty Boys. When they pull up we see someone else enter the scene… oh my … that is Davey Boy Smith. We have officials and agents run into the scene before this one breaks loose. We cut into the arena where Jesse and Gorilla are putting this over in a big way before we see Sting and Davey Boy come out to a big pop! Sting: You know something Nasty Boys… you wanna get nasty… well look no further boys… we’re right here and we’re ready for a fight. WOOOOO! Lemme tell you something… that other guy with the painted face… yeah… he hit the bricks as fast as he could and lemme tell you something, I didn’t have to look too far for a partner who would step up for a fight and boys… you are looking at the Nasty Men! WOOO! Davey Boy: Let me first start by saying that I am here for Sting but also myself. A couple of weeks ago… my partner… my brother… the Dynamite Kid was injured by the Horsemen. They broke his jaw and now he doesn’t know if he’ll ever wrestle again. So when push came to shove, I wanted to find someone who would help me and have my back and I have done that here with the Stinger. First we are going to get rid of these Nasty Boys and teach them why you can’t mess with the two of us… then… Horsemen… we’re coming for revenge and you four are next! Jesse and Gorilla pump this up big time before we head to the ring for our opener! Tito Santana vs Steve Lombardi -A great little showcase with Tito and Lombardi. Lombardi knows what he’s doing in there and Tito gets over in a big way with the huge flying forearm for the 3-count. The fans erupt as Tito walks over to the booth… Tito is in the booth with Gorilla and Jesse and he pumps up the issue with the Horsemen and says he will be watching close this weekend to make sure Dr. D doesn’t interfere and that the Horsemen get what is coming to them! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back and he is with Owen Hart who has an eyepatch over his eye… they cut a scathing promo on Great Muta and Bret announces that he’s challenging Muta for SNME! The crowd pops for this one.... Bret says he and the Anvil are going to avenge Owen and the entire Hart family! Jim Powers & Paul Roma vs Greg Valentine & The Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart -Well it is scheduled to be a six-man… but only Curt Hennig walks out… he says that Jim Powers and Paul Roma were in some kind of a car accident. He says there was something tricky with the brakes and he wonders if Jimmy Hart had his hands involved… but he knows the fans want to see a fight so he’s here for one. The Hart Family comes out and we see them attack Hennig who is able to fight them off for a moment but the 3 on 1 is just too much. The crowd then explodes when we see the Rockers run down! They bring the fight and we see the Harts all back off! Gorilla and Jesse put this over as sides have been evened up... *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Mean Gene at the podium and he runs down the big SNME card... SNME Report TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs Arn & Tully © w/ Bobby Heenan SIX-MAN TAG Curt Hennig & The Rockers vs Greg Valentine, Hercules, & Honkytonk Man Bret Hart vs The Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji Sting & Davey Boy Smith vs The Nasty Boys Mean Gene then calls out… Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man Randy Savage! Mean Gene has these guys run through their big matches and it is here that we have a big announcement… at the Main Event… instead of a tag match we are going to see the final showdown between Randy Savage and Barry Windham. Then… we will see Hulk Hogan team with Andre the Giant and Tito Santana to take on Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Ric Flair in a special six-man tag! This is a change but Hogan says he has spoken to the Big Man Andre the Giant and he can’t wait to get his hands on Ric Flair just like the Hulkster… then we hear a stir in the crowd… wait just a moment… That’s Dr. D! Schultz is out here and he is going crazy with officials and agents all around. Hogan rips off his shirt and my we’ve got something brewing. Savage is kind of lost in the shuffle out here… but he looks ready for a fight. *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over the Savage/Hogan/Schultz segment. They announce the big change to the Main Event III with Savage and Windham in the final showdown plus the big six-man tag! They pump up our next big contest… it is USA vs Russia… MAIN EVENT Hacksaw Duggan vs Nikolai Volkoff w/ Boris and Slick -This is what you’d expect from these two… nothing crazy but there’s some heat. Duggan is getting over with the crowd in a big way and Nikolai has got Boris and Slick out there helping him.The number game is getting the best of Duggan but instead of going down he gets out and grabs the equalizer with the 2x4! The Russians back off but Slick says that this party isn’t over! Gorilla and Jesse pump this up and say we haven’t seen the end of this one… when we come back the Horsemen are here! We see them in the back arriving in a limo earlier in the night… they look focused... *COMMERCIAL* We’re back and my oh my the Horsemen have arrived. We see them walk down to booth with Angel and Sherri in tow… Heenan is leading them… all in custom suits and the gold… all except the IC title of course… here they go… Bobby Heenan starts by running down all the men and women out there who wish they could in the Horsemen. He puts over how the tag team champions have got challengers lining up and down the roads and the Horsemen are going to line them all up and run them all down. Heenan says that he is the one who orchestrated the big match with Savage and Windham… it was supposed to be the tag but he was given the IC title rematch but had to commit to the six-man in order to dos… but it is what’s best for the Horsemen! He then says that Dr. D only got a portion of the bounty because he couldn’t get it done against Hogan… Arn and Tully begin by running down the British Bulldogs who are no more. They tell Davey Boy Smith that if he and Sting was a shot at the titles they don’t have to look too far. They turn their attention to the Rockers and tell them they should have stayed out of the business because the Hart Family is going to finish what the Horsemen started. They run down the Hart Foundation and let them know that Muta and Fuji are going to take them out and if there is anything left they can try to get a shot at the gold but it won’t go far. They turn to Tito Santana and put over how he may be good in the ring but he doesn’t have a partner who can hang with the Horsemen and that will be the end of it. Then we hear them put over the match with Savage and Hogan and how this will be a defining moment in the life of the Horsemen and in Saturday Night’s Main Event. In front of millions of people… the Horsemen will reign supreme! Barry Windham puts over the rematch with Randy Savage. He says that everything had to be put into place for this to happen and he knows that this is the chance of a lifetime. He says that nothing and no one will get in his way. He feels like he is missing a limb without the IC title… he can’t sleep… he can’t eat… he has only one thought… that is the title and he will do whatever it takes to get it! Ric Flair then jumps in and we hear him cut down everyone! He starts with Randy Savage and says that the two of them may not see one another at the Main Event III but he knows right where Savage is and he will be damned if that title doesn’t get back to the Horsemen in one way or another! He then runs down Tito Santana saying that he is overstepping his bounds and needs to understand that when he messes with bulls of professional wrestling he will get the Horns. He says that Blackjack Mulligan showed up for some reason that no one can explain but the Horsemen will put an end to him if he decided to interject himself in their business. He calls out Andre the Giant and says he will get his hands on him at the Main Event and when he does… he will embarrass the Giant so bad he won’t come around ever again. He then cuts into Hogan and talks about how he is going to dog him and run him out of the sport. He says that he is upping the bounty to $150,000. He says that Dr. D couldn’t get the job done but he will find someone who will! Jesse and Gorilla pump up the finish of the show… not a lot of flash but the Horsemen have made claim… SNME is this weekend and my oh my do we got a lot going on… get pumped! SNME XI 10/4 TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs Arn & Tully © w/ Bobby Heenan SIX-MAN TAG Curt Hennig & The Rockers vs Greg Valentine, Hercules, & Honkytonk Man Bret Hart vs The Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji Sting & Davey Boy Smith vs The Nasty Boys MAIN EVENT III 10/19 INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Randy Savage © vs Barry Windham SIX-MAN TAG Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, & Tito Santana vs Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, & Tully Blanchard

Universal Wrestling Federation Sept. 1986
Here we go... the UWF starts things off with a bang and you get the sense that times are a changing. I see some carryover from before but things are starting fresh for a lot of these folks and I think something to watch is who is on top of the mountain with Nikita and Bundy at odds and then you add in Lawler to the mix. Obviously Magnum's fate is no secret and part of me wishes we could go away from that... but that is the same part of me that wishes Gino Hernandez was still alive and part of the Horsemen lol. The Memphis show is a pretty good outline of just how much talent is on this roster and how stacked a card featuring the lot of them will be. For myself, I want to see this feud unfold with the Fabs, Rock N Roll, and MXE on a big scale. If only it was 1998, we'd see a latter involved. The finale of Nikita on top of the UWF world is a sight to be seen. Dr. Death is there to get some heat. That is the feud that will shape this new era of the UWF. I am pumped for it.

AWA results for September 1986
I was going to use the word massive to put over that Guerrero win... just a huge win that is very meaningful for them in the long run. Great stuff there. I am also digging the Steamboat vs Orton match. Vader and Piper involved. Steamboat has some big things in front of him...

Universal Wrestling Federation Sept. 1986
Big news coming out of the UWF with so much on the horizon. The roster has a lot of big names ready for a prime spot in the world of wrestling. I am sure you will find the right way to push those who can elevate this promotion to an entirely new level... especially now going National. I think it is great that we are really mirroring the world of wrestling in 1987 going into 1987... but we know what happened in early 87 with Watts... I don't see that happening with you under his guise...

Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling Sept. 86
JCP sets the stage for the "death of the NWA" for all intensive purposes. The world title and world tag titles are now up for grabs and who knows who will come out as the true contenders and champions with all the pieces you have at play. Obviously there are parts of this roster that will set the stage for JCP to grow to new heights and I am personally stoked to see the direction you take with it.

AWA results for September 1986
The AWA is the oldest governing body in the history of this project You continue to put out some fun stuff and the roster continues to shine. The four corners match in this latest outing shows that the AWA has got the youth, they've got the power, and they have the direction to take over the world of wrestling as 1986 ends and 1987 begins!

WWF on Tour September 1986
WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling 9/22 Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: Phoenix, AZ – Veterans Memorial Auditorium PT opens this week with footage of Sting being attacked by the Nasty Boys in the parking lot. Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags leave the Stinger lay while fans and officials crowd around him. We cut to Gorilla and Jesse who put it over and Jesse is all smiles as he pumps up how the Nasties are going to change tag team wrestling. Gorilla says he will hopefully hear back from Sting next week and he may step in there to help him with the Nasties if he can’t find a partner. On another note, tonight we will see Blackjack Mulligan one on one with Tully Blanchard… we will see the Hart Foundation against Muta and Muraco… and we will see Paul Roma taking on Hercules. Plus Andre the Giant is in the building… what a night we have in store for the fans as we head to the ring for our opening contest... Brutus Beefcake vs Barry Horowitz -Brutus is back in the WWF and he looks to be in great shape. We see him work over Barry with ease and finish him with the sleeper hold. Nothing too spectacular but Brutus is back and he has got a little love from the crowd. -We then cut to Gene Okerlund who is with Dr. D Dave Schultz. He puts over how he was trying to cash in on Hulk Hogan but it seems as though Hogan survived. Dr. D says that if Hogan is a man he will show up next week and then he will put him away for good! *COMMERCIAL* -PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over the big issue with Hogan and Flair and the money plus Andre the Giant… so much going on there. They turn the tide to the TV title and the recent return of the Honky Tonk Man and how he smashed the guitar last week. Tonight we see the team of Power and Glory go up against one another as we head to the ring. Paul Roma vs Hercules w/ Jimmy Hart -Again these two have a lot of history but again we see the Hercules is just too much for Roma. He handles him with ease even though Roma is able to get in some offense. A couple of huge dropkicks is really all he’s got in the tank before Hercules grabs the full nelson and violently puts an end to this one but he won’t let go. This brings out Honky and Valentine who are joining in the fight but here comes Hennig and Powers! The crowd is white hot for this one as they run in and look for a brawl as this one goes all over. The officials come out and we see Jimmy back his men off. -Hennig, Powers, and Roma walk over to the booth and we hear the big challenge… at Saturday Night’s Main Event… they want to make it a six-man and then the side will be even up… Hart says he doesn’t want to wait and he challenges Roma and Powers next week to a tag match with Valentine and Honky Tonk! We will see that one next week and the six-man the following weekend! *COMMERCIAL* -PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse pumping up SNME and then the MAIN EVENT III! They put over how it will be Hogan and Macho vs the Horsemen at each event and how this could be the time in which Hogan gets his hands on Flair but Jesse doesn’t think it will happen. They turn their attention to the Harts and Mr. Fuji who have had issues as of late. We hear about how Fuji has Demolition ready to come back to the WWF but due to legal troubles (they lost) they can’t come back right now! Tonight his team of Muraco and Muta hit the ring for a big showdown as we head to the ring. The Hart Foundation vs Don Muraco & The Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji -In an interesting note, we see Owen Hart, the younger brother of Bret Hart acknowledged at ringside. Gorilla and Jesse put over how Owen has broken into wrestling and is a young talent looking to make a name. In our match tonight, we see big brother Bret and the Anvil in a great contest that just ooos and ahhhs the crowd when Bret and Muta get in the ring together. Muraco and the Anvil end up being good strength for their opposites technique. We see Owen out here cheering throughout the match and the camera lets us know he’s there. The finish is pretty fun with Bret on the apron and Muraco just flying into him which sends him crashing right in front of Owen. Owen is trying to help him get up and encourage him but then Muta comes over and sprays the MIST right in Owen’s FACE! His blonde hair has turned Green and Owen is writhing in pain! Inside the ring the Anvil gets hit with a back suplex and here comes Muta off the top rope with a MOONSAULT for the 3-count! Muta and Muraco back off while we see some help for Owen who is in a bad way and Bret who isn’t much better! *COMMERCIAL* -PT is back and here come the Horsemen. They come out to just run down the rest of the competition they have… Arn and Tully go after the Bulldogs and talk about sending Dynamite back to England with a broken jaw. They say he will never wrestle again and if Davey Boy gets in their way he will end up with the same! They talk about the Rockers and how they haven’t been the same since they fell to the Horsemen and they may never been the same again! They put over Tito Santana trying to fool them with Jack Mulligan but it didn’t work! They say that Tito Santana is on the top of their list of men who are going to get what is coming to them before 1986 is all said and done! Barry Windham runs down Randy Savage and says that he doesn't’ deserve the title and that he will never truly be the champion until he gives him the rematch he deserves! He then comes right out and says that Blackjack Mulligan is his father! He says he knows he doesn’t agree with him on what he’s doing and that’s only because he was never good enough to be a Horsemen! Ric Flair is laughing and loving it all. He’s got Angel and Sherri on each arm… he is working the crowd and he is running down Hulk Hogan. He runs him into the ground and says that Hogan won’t even make it to the MAIN EVENT. He’s got Dr. D already to cash in… he’s got Arn and Tully who are going to put him down at SNME and if he does make it to Cleveland… then Ric Flair will put the final nail is his coffin. -Then we see Andre the Giant come out and the Horsemen don’t appear too phased but when Andre gets closer we see them back off a bit. Andre says that he is here to challenge Ric Flair for the World Title and he will defeat all the Horsemen in his path to get it! The crowd is going wild here and they can’t believe it! Andre grabs Flair by the lapel and says he is going to let him slide tonight… but soon he will have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide… HAHAHA! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Jesse and Gorilla pumping up the big Andre vs Flair match at some point. They wonder just what will happen next week with Hacksaw Duggan vs Nikolai signed plus we’ll see Roma and Powers vs Valentine & Honky and Tito Santana will be here. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage will be here to address the Horsemen. So much is going on plus we hope to hear from Sting and Bret Hart given what has taken place by them tonight. Now we have our big main event with Jack Mulligan and Tully Blanchard one on one! MAIN EVENT Blackjack Mulligan vs Tully Blanchard w/ Angel -Big time main event and the Horsemen send Tully out do take care of this one. Mulligan looks pretty good here and Blanchard is just a heat magnet. Angel is out there looking as devilish as ever. We see Mulligan throw Tully around but Blanchard finds a way to get in some offense here and there and a clipped knee breaks things down. We see the pace slow down and this 13-minute contest comes to a close with Blanchard running and jumping on Mulligan who grabs him and tosses him over the top to the floor! He looks to be injured and here comes the rest of the Horsemen. Arn, Barry, and Flair come down and they are challenging Mulligan but here comes Andre and Tito! The crowd is going wild here as the Horsemen have to back down. This ends up being a no contest with Tully holding his knee… will he be able to defend the titles at SNME?!?! SNME XI 10/4 Tampa, Florida TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs Arn & Tully © w/ Bobby Heenan SIX-MAN TAG Curt Hennig, Jim Powers, & Paul Roma vs Greg Valentine, Hercules, & Honkytonk Man MAIN EVENT III 10/19 Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs Ric Flair & Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan

National Wrestling Alliance 1995
The National Wrestling Alliance presents: Championship Wrestling from Hollywood! Presented from the Regent Showcase Theater in Los Angeles, California! September 21, 1995 {We open to a scene with Dustin Rhodes looking down at the camera and we hear him say that Austin and Pillman have to pay for what they did to his father. Dusty may be retired but Dustin is in his prime and tonight Austin and Pillman are primed for a whopping from the Rhodes!} {We cut to a scene of Hunter Helmsley sipping tea… he puts over how tonight Ahmed Johnson is going to get a lesson in manners and it will be one he won’t soon forget!} {We cut to another scene with Pillman and Austin laughing about the incident last week. They put over how they can’t be blamed for their actions… being held down for so long made them just JUMP at the opportunity to put Rhodes right where he belongs!} -We cut to Hudson and Sunny putting over the big night of action. They talk about the main event of Helmsley taking on Ahmed Johnson! They put over the six-man with Gordy, Williams, and Sid in action. Plus we will see the team of Lance Storm and Chris Candido… right now we’ve got Harlem Heat… let’s go to the ring! Mike Michaels & Stephen Thompson vs Harlem Heat -A good match for Harlem Heat who come out to a mixed reaction. We see them handle these two with ease and hit the big Harlem Hangover for the 3-count. -Before our commercial break we see Dustin Rhodes walking past Harlem Heat… he steps into the ring… *COMMERCIAL* -We return with Dustin Rhodes in the ring and he calls out Steve Austin and Brian Pillman. They walk out to some nice heat and we get a little confrontation between the three with Pillman and Austin telling Dustin that their dad deserved everything he got and if they had a couple more minutes they would have done more. If Dustin wants more of the same then he will get it. Dustin says he isn’t dumb enough to fight two men at once but knows he can take on one or the other. He tells them to choose and meet him out here next week for the fight of their life! Hudson and Sunny put it over as Dustin backs off from the fight in the ring to build to the fight next week! {We then cut to a special video of Hakushi who will be a special attraction in the NWA!} *COMMERCIAL* -Hudson and Sunny are back putting over the issue with the Rhodes’ and Austin and Pillman. We will find out who faces Dustin later on but right now we’ve got tag team action... Max Ryan & Joey Wolfe vs Lance Storm & Chris Candido -Storm and Candido look awesome out here and finish these guys off with a nice crescent kick from Storm and a bridging German Suplex from Candido for the 3-count! *COMMERCIAL* -We are back with Sunny who is looking o so fine with little to nothing left to the imagination and she is joined by Cactus Jack. They put over his return to the NWA and he talks about the history of the NWA World Title… Thesz, O’Conner, Funk, Brisco, Race, Flair, and soon… Cactus Jack Bang Bang! He says he will get involved in the title in anyway he can and he will sacrifice any body part and every muscle to show why he is the champion of champions! Brent Hope, Steve Young, & Chris Nash vs Sid, Terry Gordy, & Steve Williams w/ Ted Dibiase -A great six-man with some solid work here. Dibiase’s men just beat the piss out of these guys and we see Sid powerbomb all three of them for the victory. He makes the sign for the NWA title… he is definitely a favorite heading into the tournament. *COMMERCIAL* -We return to CWH with Hudson and Sunny putting over the night’s action and they pump up next week’s show when we will see Eddie Guerrero and Psicosis one on one in our main event. Plus we’ll hear from Dustin Rhodes who says he will challenge Steve Austin or Brian Pillman! Right now we get to see something that has been brewing over the last couple of weeks… it is Ahmed Johnson taking on Hunter Helmsley! MAIN EVENT Ahmed Johnson vs Hunter Helmsley -A big time main event for CWH this week with Helmsley working the crowd and almost a “Memphis” style of stalling just to goat Johnson into a fight and that’s what it turns into. We see Ahmed try to brawl but Helmsley is able to juke and jive away but when Ahmed gets his hands on him the crowd explodes! Ahmed grabs him and we see Helmsley bump all over the place for the big man. With limited television time remaining we see these guys hurry into the final flurry with Helmsley reaching into his tights and he’s got something on his hand and when Johnson runs Helmsley just CLOCKS him right between the eyes and Johnson falls out of the ring to the floor. Helmsley tries to get the referee to count faster and we get the 10-count. He is celebrating like he won the world title but out of the back comes none other than Ron Simmons! -Simmons comes out and he is talking to Mark Curtis… he is telling him to check Helmsley! Helmsley is trying to hide when Curtis checks him but then Simmons grabs his hands and shows it to Curtis who goes to GMC and he announces that the decision has been reversed and Ahmed Johnson is the winner via DQ! The crowd pops as Ahmed gets back up to his feet and he makes chase for Helmsley who runs up the aisle! The crowd pops and we’ll be back for more next week! *Disclaimer* As a group we decided to get the 1986 game revamped with some changes and get it going again. With that the Dawn of War game would be sacrificed. I did however write shows out until November... so I will keep this as a small side project and post what I've got. I hope everyone enjoys it and looks forward to what we have cooked up to get the 1986 game to new levels.

WWF on Tour September 1986
WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling 9/15 Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: St. Louis, MO – Kiel Auditorium PT opens this week in historic St. Louis with Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura revealing shocking footage from this weekend when Hulk Hogan was arriving to a show… {We cut to the footage and see Hogan coming out of a car. He is mobbed by fans as he continues to walk and sign autographs. This is shot on “amateur” footage with someone holding a huge camcorder… but then out of nowhere we hear screeching tires as a car pulls into the scene. Hogan hurries the fans and children away and he looks at the car. Out of nowhere comes Dr. D Dave Schultz! He has a big piece of wood and he cracks it over Hogan’s back! We see him beating down the Hulkster before Brutus Beefcake runs into the scene and backs him off…} Jesse and Gorilla put over the scene and wonder just what Dr. D was doing here and if he did enough to cash in on the $100,000 from Ric Flair. They turn their attention to our two big matches tonight with Hennig and Roma taking on Valentine and Hercules, plus the tag team titles will be on the line when the Bulldogs take on Arn and Tully. Right now it is time to head to the ring for our opening contest… it is the Great Muta! Pedro Morales vs Great Muta w/ Mr. Fuji -A good opener but Morales isn’t quite what Muta needs in an opponent. His grizzled ways work well enough but Muta is getting over with his speed. A couple of nice moves and then a gross throat kick set up the big moonsault for the 3-count. We cut to Gorilla and Jesse who are joined by the Hart Foundation! The Harts are here and take exception to what Fuji said last week. They won the match fair and square and will give Demolition the chance to come back with their tails between their legs whenever they want. The Harts then go out to say they would like to see Muta and Muraco in the ring next week just to prove their point… Fuji and Muta come over to jab and accept as this one looks to be on next week right here on PT! *COMMERCIAL* {We see a vignette of a man walking down a hallway… you hear is footsteps and then see a club going across some bars… the camera pans up… the Big Bossman is coming back to the WWF and he has got justice and hard times to dish out!} PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over the big TV title issue with Hennig and Valentine and our matchup this evening. They talk about how Roma was stabbed in the back by Hart and Hercules and tonight he will get some revenge! Curt Hennig and Paul Roma vs Greg Valentine & Hercules -A couple of big matches tonight on PT and this one is pretty good. Roma just doesn’t have what it takes to be a big name and you can tell he can work but the crowd just doesn’t love him and there’s not much to love really. Valentine and Hercules are a mix-matched crew that don’t quite fit. Hennig is the gem but he can only do so much. The finish sees Roma out of place and Hennig being double teamed. He gets thrown into the ropes and out of nowhere comes the Honkytonk Man… returning to the WWF… he has got a guitar and just DESTROYS it over Hennig’s head! The referee calls for the bell and Hennig is once again laid out and in a bad way… Hart grabs his crew and gloats to Gorilla and Jesse while Roma and Powers check on Hennig. He is struggling to his feet with blood pouring down, much like we saw just a couple of weeks ago. Gorilla and Jesse put this over and the HTM is back in the WWF and he is going to shake, rattle, and roll all over the competition! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse sending it to Randy Savage who is on the little podium and he is with Mean Gene. They put over his recent title victory and how he has become one of the top wrestlers in the world. He says he has his sights set on Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Arn Anderson, and Tully Blanchard. He wants to show the world on Saturday Night’s Main Event that he and Hulk Hogan are truly the team that can take the titles and he will be a double champion. The crowd here is going wild and they love it. Nothing major other than Savage putting himself over and then he parades Elizabeth around to a great pop. Gene puts over the tag title match when we come back! *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with Gorilla and Jesse putting over the Horsemen and the title situation. They put over the tag titles. Tonight the British Bulldogs have the chance of a lifetime against the Horsemen but what will the cost be against a team who has literally beaten all in front of them. We head to the ring for this big contest! WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP The British Bulldogs vs Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard © w/ Bobby Heenan -Big time main event with so much on the line. We see a great 18-minute match with all four men getting involved. No one really shines more than the other but Dynamite does look good and Davey’s power is definitely on display. We see Heenan really working the crowd and the finish is hot. We see Dynamite and Davey looking to put away the Horsemen with a big powerslam by Davey and Dynamite goes up top. This is when Heenan gets involved and Davey has to push him to the ground before Barry Windham comes out of nowhere and thrusts Dynamite off the top rope, into the guardrail face first! The referee doesn’t see anything and he counts to 10. Dynamite comes up an absolute bloody mess. Gorilla and Jesse put over how the Horsemen have retained… Barry is walking them back up the aisle but here comes Blackjack! OH MY! Mulligan is here and he comes at Windham before officials and agents come to break it up! More on this next week! SNME XI 10/4 TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs Arn & Tully © w/ Bobby Heenan MAIN EVENT III 10/19 Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage vs Ric Flair & Barry Windham w/ Bobby Heenan

WWF Programming for September 1995
Very well put together show here to just continue to build towards in Your House. Some very big matches on the books so far and the stories are coming together. I think the highlight for me is seeing a guy like Razor get a nice rub and the focus on the tag titles. 95 was a rough year for tag team wrestling but here you're building some real value in the division. Then on top of it all you've got Diesel and Savage which should sell things out on its own. So much going on and its all good... look forward to more of it.

I think the thing to remember is that Saturday Night was still a major show at this point... you give it some real love here which helps keep the stories moving forward. You've got some real talent in the War Games which should pay off and then the rest of the card is coming together in a big way. Both WCW and the WWF have got some powerful cards coming up to put both promotions on the right track finishing 1995.

ECW 1993
I've been tracking this project for some time primarily lurking instead of posting but I will tell you that this is definitely some really good stuff. Your ability to create these characters and put them into this environment that is make believe in a lot of ways but also something that could have and perhaps should have been done. Very good write-ups for the matches and the stories and it's been fun to watch it from the beginning to where you're at now.

National Wrestling Alliance 1995
The National Wrestling Alliance presents: Championship Wrestling from Hollywood! Presented from the Regent Showcase Theater in Los Angeles, California! September 14, 1995 {We get an opening segment of Dusty Rhodes welcoming Dan the Beast Severn to the arena. We see the NWA World Title and Dusty says he has got some big plans for the title and wants to hear just who the beast is looking at for the next challenger.} {We then see another scene in which a limo pulls up… out walks Ted Dibiase but he is not alone… what is going to have on CWH tonight?} -Scott Hudson and Sunny welcome us to the arena and put over the big night of action. Tonight we’ll see Chris Jericho in action along with Bam Bam Bigelow. Plus the big main event of Steve Austin vs Brian Pillman with Dusty Rhodes as the referee… what a night it will be but right now here comes the Sheriff… Dusty Rhodes and he is with the NWA Champion! Rhodes and Severn enter the ring and the fans are very big on the Beast but what is there to be excited about? Rhodes and Severn put over the history of the NWA title and talk about all the great champions in the past and how this title has been held by anyone who is anyone in this industry. With the Rebirth of the NWA coming to fruition… Dusty Rhodes thinks it is time to see who is the best in the world and Dan Severn thinks it is him. The Beast says he is will to face anyone to prove that he’s the best. Dusty says that he has spoken to the officials in the NWA and he has made the motion that over the next couple of weeks we will see a tournament with the top 16 wrestlers in the NWA with the winner being crowned the NWA Champion… fans seem confused… but then Dusty says that the title is always on the line because Dan the Beast Severn has entered the tournament and will be the number one seed! The Beast says he has won tournaments in the past and he will prove to everyone his might when he defends the title all the way through the tournament and walks away with the championship. -Then we see Ted Dibiase walk out and he is not alone with Sid, Terry Gordy, and Steve Williams. They come out to a chorus of boos from the fan and really have got some food heat on them as Dibiase enters the ring… Rhodes questions their motives but Dibiase says he is here for a purpose… he is here to introduce the world to the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion… SID! He says he knows about Rhodes’ plans for the tournament and he will do whatever is needed in order for Sid to walk out of the tournament with the title. Dibiase then asks Rhodes when he was going to talk about the tag team titles…. This goats Rhodes to say that in three weeks, on September 29th, there will be a 14-team tournament and the new NWA Tag Team Champions will be crowned in which Dibiase responds again that it will be Gordy and Williams and if Rhodes has got a problem with it… they will solve it. Sid and Severn go eye to eye as Rhodes says anything can happen and he will make sure it does when the brackets are released on October 5th for the NWA World Title Tournament! {We see Steve Austin looking at the monitor and he just snuffs it off and walks off with a pissed off look on his face…} *COMMERCIAL* -Jesse Ventura is in the back and he is talking with Dusty Rhodes… Jesse: Already Dusty? Already there are problems? Dusty: We’ve got some explosive identities here in the NWA Jesse… I think that when you get a group like this together anything can happen baby… Jesse: That’s exactly my point… we’re here for good things. I am excited for the tournament… but I don’t know if it has what I want in terms of contenders… I am going to be heading out for a couple of weeks and scout some talent… in my stead I am introducing you to my deputy… JIMMY HART {Dusty shakes his head and walks off while Jesse tells Jimmy to make sure he doesn’t get out of line… Jesse will be back in October and he is going to get things really cooking when he comes back! -Hudson and Sunny put over the two big title tournaments and the shocking news that Dan Severn will defend the title all the way through the tournament… what a moment that will be to see. They put over Jimmy Hart as the deputy here in the NWA and how will he mesh with Dusty Rhodes? They put over the issue from last week with Helmsley and Ahmed Johnson. Benny King vs Hunter Helmsley -A good showcase Helmsley who is an American blue bloods through and through. We see him work over King and finish them him with the PEDIGREE! -Helmsley walks over over to Hudson and Sunny. He promises to bring the gold back to the Queen where it belongs and he doesn’t care if scum like Ahmed Johnson gets in his way. He will put him in his place right where he belongs… *COMMERCIAL* {We return to CWH with footage from Mexico of La Parka and Psicosis. They are shown doing some crazy stunts and vicious moves that light up the crowd.} -Hudson and Sunny put over the talent from around the world that will be here in the NWA and how Dusty Rhodes has found so many great ones to come and take part and just who Jesse Ventura will bring back with him. One of the best prospects is a young man from Canada who has worked in Mexico and Japan and throughout the United States. We get to see him in action right now as we head to the ring. Chris Jericho vs Lance Wilder -A great showcase for Jericho who gets over with the crowd pretty easily with the long hair and vocal style. He looks like a rockstar and acts like one too and the fans eat it up. He handles Wilder with ease and lights up the crowd with the Lionsault for the victory. -He makes motions out to the fans but then looks in the aisle way and he notices Lance Storm standing there with a sour look on his face… from behind him it is Chris Candido! Candido whispers something to Storm and they walk off. Jericho doesn’t look happy as Sunny and Hudson put it over... *COMMERCIAL* -We return to CWH with Sunny in the back and she is joined by Marcus Bagwell and Scotty Riggs… the American Males! They put over the clubbing scene here in Los Angeles and talk about all the beautiful women. They point out they all pale in comparison to Sunny. Then we see Alex Wright come into the scene and he is dancing around saying that Los Angeles is hot but it has nothing on Berlin. Riggs and Bagwell brush it off as Sunny seems interested... Bam Bam Bigelow vs Jimmy Jackson -We are told this is supposed to be Buddy Landel but he has yet to arrive to the arena. Bam Bam is over like rover right now and he handles Jackson with ease. The highlight is the moonsault off the top rope for the 3-count. Bam Bam makes a name for himself here and he is a contender in the NWA! {We cut to the back where Buddy Landel is showing up late trying to get into the arena. Security isn’t letting him in and saying that the show has started. Budrow isn’t too happy with what has gone on here and grabs his bags to get back in his car and speed off…} *COMMERCIAL* -CWH is back with Hudson and Sunny putting over the night and all the big names we’ve seen coming into the NWA. They talk about how next week we will see the team of Chris Candido and Lance Storm in action. Plus we will have Cactus Jack here along with six-man tag team action with Gordy, Williams, and Sid. Right now we’ve got a return match for our main event as we head to the ring… MAIN EVENT SPECIAL REFEREE: Dusty Rhodes Brian Pillman vs Steve Austin -Hudson and Sunny lay it all out on the table with Dusty being the referee. He is going to be double tough out there and he showcases his authority early on. We see a little catch as catch can with Pillman and Austin who have some fun in the ring trying to one up one another but neither coming out ahead. Dusty is trying to keep them going but both men continue to posture and work the fans. Austin gets right in Dusty’s face as says something to which Rhodes looks out to the crowd and threatens to hit Austin but nothing doing. We see the men continue to a little series with both men working the arms and then they crash into Rhodes. Dusty pushes both men back and now it is Pillman in Rhodes face. Dusty backs him off and Austin with a roll up for a 2-count and now Austin is in his face. Dusty is starting to get riled up now but stays level enough. Then it happens… Pillman gets behind Dusty and is trying to get at Austin but he ends up grabbing his arms and Steve Austin comes with a right hand and just CLOCKS Dusty Rhodes! Pillman and Austin just lay into Rhodes like they were stomping a mudhole dry and Dusty is in a bad way! -The scene continues with Austin and Pillman kicking and stomping on Rhodes. The crowd is indifferent with some cheering and some booing. Hudson and Sunny put it over and can’t believe what is going on but then we hear an eruption when out of the back runs Dustin Rhodes! -Dustin Rhodes is here and he comes to make the save on his father! Austin and Pillman leave the ring and work the fans. Jimmy Hart is out here trying to get control… The crowd is heating up for this one as Hudson and Sunny send us off with Dusty Rhodes laying in the ring a battered mess...

WCW September 1995 Thread
You and I spoke already and I am pretty excited about the outlook of Nitro. You continue to find the fine line between angle/match. With an hour... really 45 minutes... you put a lot into the show. I think that you have the opportunity to get a better idea on who you have and how to use them over the next couple of weeks as we are so early in this project to make any kind of assumption yet. The main event talent is strong and with the rest of the pieces coming into place, this will be a fun evolution of Nitro to see just how it would compare to what happened IRL.

Dirt Sheets
Lots of excitement after the NWA Championship Wrestling tapings and then early reports of ratings seem to be positive. The true problem is that it is regional at this point but NWA officials are trying to negotiate with a bigger company and could get into Dish but again, not everyone has a Dish and the viewership will be nowhere near the levels of the WWF and WCW. Some officials are reaching out to ESPN and MTV to try and get a deal together but nothing is in place. With wrestling right now, it would take a monster product to get national television and even with that, the NWA doesn't have the notoriety to get a prime slot. Their best bet may be to get on either of these channels and then try to utilize a Friday night slot and turn it into something better. With all the sports on ESPN, it may prove to be difficult to get consistent viewing. With MTV, they may just not be in the market unless the NWA can prove to be a viable commodity that will make MTV money along with help with cross promotion. For the time being, they must find a better suitor to get a deal done and if they don't by the end of the year it may be a short rebirth for the NWA. A lot of positive praise for the way that the show came off. Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit were given bonus' by NWA officials after their match for really putting on a great match. This is said to be the staple of the NWA for the foreseeable future with heavy wrestling and heavy stories to supplement. Look for some up and comers like Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, and Chris Candido to be solid television performers with guys like Hunter Helmsley to supplement with more story. Then you look to your big names with Sid, Cactus, Bigelow, Gordy, and Williams to be the ones to really be the draws while Austin and Pillman will be utilized as true stars of the promotion. The call to keep Jesse Ventura out of the booth was made at the absolute last minute. Ventura got cold feet after he was approached. He is currently the Mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota and was looking to transition back to wrestling once his current term is up. Ventura didn't think he'd be good in a weekly role but would like to be part of the promotion still. When Sunny was called up she was ecstatic but Scott Hudson had some reservations. He is a consignment pro and has taken it in stride. It is said that Hudson is spending a lot of time with Sunny to get a better rapport and that should transcend to the show over the next couple of weeks.

ECW September 1995
very fun show top-to-bottom. I really appreciate your ability to write for each of those different characters and make it believable. To top it all off you have James E cornet and Paul E Dangerously going toe-to-toe in the land of extreme which of course would put butts in the seats and make for some absolutely entertaining television. The fun thing about ECW during this time was how the TV was utilize from the live shows. I'm interested to see how this plays out long-term in regards to angles and other motives behind matches and pairings. I look forward to a lot more of ECW crapping on everybody else as a way to get themselves a head when we know that they belong in their own way.

The National Wrestling Alliance presents: Championship Wrestling from Hollywood! Presented from the Regent Showcase Theater in Los Angeles, California! September 7, 1995 We open to the Regent Showcase Theater in Los Angeles with a capacity house as the NWA has been reborn! The lights go down and then we hear some western music and out of the back walks none other than… DUSTY RHODES! Dusty Rhodes: Ladies and gentlemen… I want to welcome you to the rebirth… I want to welcome you to the revolution…. I want to welcome you the National Wrestling Alliance and Championship Wrestling from Hollywood! There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Dusty Rhodes and daddy I am walking tall, taking names, and kickin booty! I want to tell you people a story… I want to tell you about the oldest governing body in professional wrestling and how it got pushed to the wayside by a billion dollar television conglomerate. I want to tell you about a championship built that was $50,000 to carry but worth millions of dollars to hold. I want to tell you about a dream, if you will, that has become a reality in the city of angels! {The crowd is giving Dusty some real love here} Dusty Rhodes: Now when you look at the history of the NWA you will see some of the greatest champions in the history of this sport. You will see some of the toughest battles and the bloodiest feuds and that’s what we are bringing back right here with the Rebirth! I want to introduce you to two men right now… first off the man who is going to be calling the action… a man who knows a thing or two about a thing or two… ladies and gentlemen… Mr. Scott Hudson! {Scott Hudson waves from the announcer's booth…} Dusty Rhodes: His partner in crime if you will…someone who isn’t afraid to take it to another level and let you know what is going down baby… for the first time ever… ladies and gentlemen… SUNNY! Dusty: Now I am ready for a great night… I am ready to kick the NWA off in the right direction…We are going to be putting together something special for the NWA World Heavyweight title... {Then we hear some music and out walks Jesse the Body Ventura! Jesse comes out to a huge pop and the fans are going wild here in LA. Jesse Ventura walks right down and steps in the ring...} Dusty: What do you need here Jess? Jesse Ventura: That will be Mr. Ventura Dusty Rhodes… you see...every sheriff has to answe to someone… and here in the NWA… you Sheriff Rhodes are going to be answering to me! {Crowd pops} Jesse Ventura: I know you have a history of putting your own agendas in front of everyone else… and because of that I am going to do some checks and balances if you will. This is my town… this is Hollywood… I am the man who made wrestling famous in LA and I am going to bring it back again… but because of that I can’t be here week in and week out. I will always be watching but I am going to have a deputy. I am going to have someone around to make sure you just don’t pull rank and do whatever you want. Dusty Rhodes: Who is that gonna be? Jesse: He will be here next week with me… but I wanted to bring someone out right now… someone that you know very well. Someone you have had a history with… someone who I think is a world championship contender... {Then we hear some generic music and the crowd stirs as Steve Austin walks out to the ring and he isn’t stunning right now… Jesse Ventura walks past him and shakes his hand as Austin is pissed right now heading into the ring...} Dusty Rhodes: What do you need out here Steve? I didn’t know we finalized things to have you around... Steve Austin: That’s funny Dusty… I haven’t been scheduled to do much of anything for quite some time. I mean hell… when you were in charge down in WCW, I wasn’t scheduled to do much other than show up on the C show… now you’re here in the NWA and hell… I am not scheduled. I don’t thank too many men but damn son… Jesse Ventura saw something… he saw enough to give me a chance and here I am… something you never saw... Dusty Rhodes: Brother we don’t need to bring up the past… Steve Austin: See that’s where you're wrong there sheriff… you see the past kind of develops who you are as a person and hell son...I am a pissed off person and I have been for a long time. Dusty Rhodes: Let me tell you something right now… it is not the time… you gotta talk to me… you do it in the back… Steve Austin: I don’t have too many words for you Dusty… I would rather just kick your ass… {Dusty and Austin are now eye to eye and then we hear some different music and now we see…. BRIAN PILLMAN! We also see some officials come down….} Dusty: Alright, fellas… what do we got going on here? Brian Pillman: Well big Dust… I have a lot of the same issues that Steve here has… but I am not going to come out here and complain like him… I am out here to do something. You see you were about to talk about the NWA World Title and I would love the chance to show that I am championship material. Steve Austin: Listen there Brian… there’s a reason we weren’t a tag team for too long… that’s because you aren’t championship material… Brian Pillman: That’s funny you say that Steve… the way I see it… you were always in my shadow and it was just too much for you to swallow… hence me breaking things off… Steve Austin: Well like the sheriff says… the past is the past and the future is now and I can tell you that you have got an ass whooping in your future if you keep running your mouth! Dusty Rhodes: Hold it fellas… hold it… this may be the old west… I may be the sheriff… but there will be some law and order… and that means you will follow the law of the land and that law says that if you got an issue: you settle it in the ring and tonight… you two are going to be right back here and boys… we will see who has got championship material and who just don’t! *COMMERCIAL* Todd Hudson: Welcome back to NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood and Sunny... it is a honor to be sitting next to you and calling all the action… Sunny: The pleasure is mine Hudson… and just so you and everyone else out here knows… I will only be available between shooting my next Hollywood blockbusters… Todd Hudson: Hopefully those won’t be too far apart…. But Sunny we have to talk about Rebirth… the NWA is back… Dusty Rhodes is the new sheriff in town… Sunny: Well Rhodes may be calling the shots but I hear that there is someone else really calling the shots who is telling him how to steer the ship… and that is Jesse Ventura! Todd Hudson: It may look that way...I wonder who the deputy will be? Sunny: I told him I would gladly take the job… I am the world’s first female commentator and I might as well call the shots anyways... Todd Hudson: Sunny it is your world and we’re just living in it… Sunny: Don’t forget it… Todd Hudson: With that fans, let’s head to the ring for our opening contest. One Fall - 15-minutes Eddie Guerrero vs Chris Benoit -These two guys come out to good ovations. Both have a cult following and have got some fanfare here. We see both men test the other and they pull out all the stops. We see Eddie fly around the ring and Benoit show off his technical skills. The highlight is seeing Benoit outside the ring and Eddie run and jump up on the top rope and dive with a high cross body into the aisleway! These guys bring it back in the ring as we hear Gary Michael Cappetta announce that we have less than 5-minutes remaining and these guys go balls to the wall. We see Eddie with a couple of huge forearms and then he hits a nasty brainbuster. He goes up top for a frog splash but Benoit moves and Eddie comes crashing down! Eddie works his way up and Benoit ducks a clothesline and grabs him for 1…..2…...3 German Suplexes and then he holds for the 4th and the 1…..2…...DING DING DING! We hit the 15-minute time limit and we end in a draw! Both men get a standing O from the crowd as this has started off in grand fashion… more NWA action when we come back! *COMMERCIAL* -We cut back to Hudson and Sunny who are putting over the first big match and the 15-minute draw. They also talk about the NWA World Champion Dan Severn and how he will fare here in the NWA. They put over tag team action here in the NWA and then we cut to the ring for our next contest… One Fall - 15-minute Time Limit The Headbangers vs Harlem Heat -The Headbangers come out to try and mosh with this LA crowd but they aren’t overly big on it. The Harlem Heat get more pop than heat with the crowd. This one goes about 8-minutes and we see some really good action from Booker T especially but it is the power of Stevie Ray that sets them apart. Then we see Mosh and Thrasher double up on Stevie to slow him down however a nasty low blow on Thrasher sets up Harlem Hangover from Booker T! They get the cheap 3-count and the crowd is lukewarm. -We then cut to the back and see a man standing against a wall… a barbed wire baseball bat comes down from his arm and then is pulled up the wall… he turns around… it is CACTUS JACK! *COMMERCIAL* -Championship Wrestling is back with Hudson and Sunny as they put over the team of Harlem Heat. They talk about Cactus Jack and just how unpredictable he is and his presence in the NWA will be felt on many levels. We then cut to the ring for our next contest but before the camera pans away we see Hunter Helmsley and is he completely appalled by the crowd here in Hollywood. He says this is supposed to be the city of angels but it looks like the devil came and took a stool sample and it grew into this city and these people! {The crowd then pops when out of the back walks Ahmed Johnson!} -Ahmed comes over and he just stares at Helmsley who doesn’t flinch… Ahmed then goes in the ring for our next matchup… One Fall 15-Minutes Time Limit Ahmed Johnson vs Ryan Shaw -This one goes about 2-minutes and that is because Ahmed was staring at Helmsley the entire time. Helmsley is sticking his nose up at him and snickering with Helmsley as Ahmed picks up Shaw for the Pearl River Plunge and the 3-count. He looks out at Helmsley and challenges him to get in the ring but Helmsley backs up and just smiles… he are winning in the mental game but that won’t last long if it gets physical with Ahmed! -We then cut to another little video and this one sees a fire… it is getting brighter and bigger and then it goes out…. And from the ashes we see a head...covered in flames! *COMMERCIAL* -CWH is back with Sunny and Hudson putting over our main event and also how next week we will see the return of the NWA Heavyweight Champion… Dan the Beast Severn. Plus we hear that Ted Dibiase will be here with what he calls the NEXT NWA CHAMPION! Right now we head to the ring for our main event. MAIN EVENT Brian Pillman vs Steve Austin -A fun dynamic with these two guys who work the crowd into a frenzy to get going. This is the ECW style Austin who looks like he could care less and then the 95 Halloween Havoc Pillman who is just an absolute wild man. They start to work over one another but before too long the fight goes outside the ring and then we see the referee get pushed to the ground by Austin. He gets back up but then Pillman runs him into the guardrail. We see another official come out and try to break this up but now Austin nails him with a nasty right hand and he goes down. We hear the sound of the bell a 3 more officials come out and Dusty Rhodes then comes down to break it up… he grabs the microphone… Dusty: Listen to me… listen to me… I am not sending referees out here to get assaulted… you boys gotta find a way to solve this thing…. {Pillman yells for Dusty to take over…} Dusty: Well maybe I will do that… we are outta time this week… but next week… in this ring… I will be the sheriff and you two gonna duke it out… there will be a winner! -A fun end to the program with Austin just going off on Rhodes and yelling at him while Pillman continues to try and hit at him. These two will do work next week in a one on one match but this time Dusty Rhodes will be the one to try and control the action. See you next week!

WWF on Tour September 1986
WWF Presents: Prime Time Wrestling 9/8 Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse the Body Ventura Matches from: Worcester, MA - Centrum PT opens this week with the return of Blackjack Mulligan and Andre the Giant. We also hear from Jesse and Gorilla who put over the big bounty of Hulk Hogan. They talk about how anyone could cash in on that $100,000 and the Hulkster could be in real trouble. We also hear about the next big SNME that will be held on October the 4th and already signed will be a tag team match of monumental proportions when Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage have signed to take on Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard with the WWF Tag Team Titles on the line if they are still the champions! Next week Arn and Tully will defend against the British Bulldogs! We will hear from many throughout the evening but right now we head to the ring for our opening contest… Curt Hennig vs Dennis Stamp -Easy enough opening contest for Hennig who puts Stamp through the ringer before hitting the Fisherman’s Suplex for the victory. Jimmy Hart, Greg Valentine, and Hercules all join Jesse and Gorilla and put over how they are not done with Hennig and how he will not only have to give that title up but they may stuff him over the mantle. This draws Hennig over but out of the back walks the team of Jim Powers and Paul Roma! We see what went down last week and we hear some jawing and jacking before we went up with a tag team match next week… Hennig and Roma vs Hercules and Valentine! *COMMERCIAL* {We see a fun promo from Hulk Hogan saying that he doesn’t care how big the bounty gets… it will never be able to take down Hulkamania!} PT is back and we see that Fuji is here with Muraco and Muta. He says Demolition is right where he wants them to be and he has filed a suit against Jack Tunney to get them reinstated. He says he holds the Harts personally responsible and will look for revenge when Don Muraco and Great Muta team up to take them down! Sting vs Barry Horowitz -A good showcase for Sting but the Warrior is nowhere to be found? We see the big Stinger Splash in the corner and then the high cross body for the victory… Sting goes over to the announcers… Sting puts over how Warrior was here one day and gone the next but that won’t keep him from taking on the Nasty Boys! He says he can be nasty with the best of them and somewhere out there, there is a partner who will join him to take them on! {We see a fun little hype video for the return of Brutus Beefcake to the WWF!} *COMMERCIAL* PT is back with a fun Horsemen promo… Heenan puts over how people are coming out of the woodwork to try and take down the Horsemen but it can’t be done. He puts over how Barry Windham is guaranteed an IC title rematch and it must be enforced! He will take this all the way if he has to but President Tunney needs to make a ruling. Also, why is it everyone is getting shots at the tag team titles? What is the deal here? Who is causing all this? Arn and Tully piggyback on with Heenan and ask the same question as to how and why everyone is getting a chance at their tag titles. The more they challenge the more that the Horsemen win and they are okay with it but know that someday someone’s luck is going to run out. They put over how it was the Rockers, now you’ve got Tito Santana, then you’ve got the Harts, and next week the Bulldogs plus Hogan and Savage. They will be known as fighting champions and when all is said and done they will still hold the gold. They wonder if Hulk Hogan will even make it to SNME as they have already heard about someone coming to cash in on that bounty and he is a bad, bad man! Barry Windham comes right out and says that pulling Blackjack Mulligan into this issue has caused a bit of a rift. He wants everyone to know that he and Mulligan are very close but he knows what side of the line he is on and that’s with the Horsemen. If Mulligan decides he wants to cross the line then he will have to answer to Windham and that answer will be swift and full of vengeance and anger! Ric Flair is in prime mode here as he says he has been answering calls all week on the $100,000 bounty and he knows that Hulk Hogan is looking around every corner. He is peeking through every window. He knows that Hogan will have to answer for what he’s done and pay his dues at the hands of the Horsemen. He then turns his attention to Blackjack Mulligan. He asks if Mulligan met Wahoo on his way out the door because the Horsemen ran him out of this business. Then he brings up Andre. He says that Andre the Giant has been chasing him for years and trying to get the World Title but there ain’t a man alive who can take it and that goes TWICE for Andre. Whenever the big man wants his shot… come on down and try the Nature Boy…. WOOOO!!!! Jesse and Gorilla put over our big main event with Tito and Duggan taking on the Russians when we get back! *COMMERCIAL* {We see a fun video of Randy Savage putting over his victory over Barry Windham. He announces that he will be here on PT next week and he will have Elizabeth and his title with him!} MAIN EVENT Tito Santana & Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs The Russians w/ Slick -Some really nice heat with the Russians and Duggan who is chanting USA… USA… USA all over the arena. We get a fun little 9-minute match with the highlight being Tito hitting Boris with a flying forearm and then Duggan coming out of nowhere with a clothesline that takes him out of his boots! Hacksaw and Duggan get the three count and work the crowd only for Arn and Tully to run into the ring and attack but then we see Barry Windham run down but he is stopped by Blackjack Mulligan! Gorilla and Jesse put this over in a big way before we fade out… next week the Horsemen defend against the Bulldogs and Randy Savage will be in the house! Who will cash in on Hogan?!?

Rosters & Transactions
A little more movement... Jimmy Hart has signed with the NWA and Bob Holly has been released to keep within the cap.
