Superstar makes a challenge to Dibiase! That cage match is going to be MONEY! Great seeing Harley here. He seems rejuvenated and wants back in the title picture. Really like Scott Hall's build here. Man, the Andersons and Sawyer are going to be hard to contend with. Looking forward to watching Bassarab and Kiniski working together. OH SNAP!!!! Hansen and Brody are together! Watch out! Reed continues his awesome title reign on the loop. That Rich/Sawyer 40 minute cage match would of been awesome.

The mystery continues to unfold as the Briscos admit their involvement. Man I cant wait to find out who's behind all this. I like the Boomer/Rufus storyline. Looks like Rufus was set up. Kevin Kelly better be careful now that he's getting involved in the House of Humperdink's business. Solid TV main event as Dusty puts "The best" down with the bionic elbow. WOW! A couple of title changes as Purple Haze wins the TV title and Gino wastes no time and wins the Florida championship! Also, how about Mike Davis with that huge upset over Dory Funk. Cuban Assassin is on a roll in Florida.

SECW continues to stay red hot! The big news-The return of Bullet Bob!!! So surreal seeing Bob tag with Hogan. It's things like this that make this game so much fun. Dirty White Boy and The Exotic One will be a fun feud. Not to be overshadowed by Bullet Bob's return but out of nowhere comes Mr. Fuji as he helps Kabuki and Kendo beat the Midnight Express! A weekend full of returns as Brad Armstrong saves Mr. Olympia from what could of been a brutal beating from Jake. Fuller and Golden continue to roll with a win over Garvin and Rogers. I would love to see the Road Warriors come to town and defend against Fuller and Golden. Wild ending to the SE title match as Brad, Steve and Johnny Rich go toe to toe with the Paul Jones Army. Cant wait for a Flair/Bullet rematch. Hogan puts down Loch Ness! Paul Jones is going to need his army now that he angered the monster. Always something happening in SECW!

Once again love the format as the promos really set the tone of the show. LOL, that Backlund promo was priceless. Fleming and Horowitz are quietly stacking up some wins. Andre in a battle royal always guarantees a huge crowd. The first WWF house show I ever went to was Andre winning a battle royal. Good times. Johnson and Magnum prove to have some great chemistry. What a moment with Andre and Hogan. Absolutely love the seeds planted here. Hogan with a vintage title defense over the Animal. The Backlund/Snuka feud kicks up a notch as Yoshi and Two Eagles are added to the equation. Great way to get these guys over. Poor Rougeaus. The Samoans beat them down just before they have to wrestle the most devastating team in wrestling. Hopefully we get a rematch down the road. Great job!

WOW! What a wild show! That might of been the best opening to a show I've ever read. Freebirds absolutely destroy Madril! This is exactly what the Birds needed to reestablish themselves as the top heels. Glamour Boys look good in their TV debut. Liked that explanation for Yoshi's departure. Russians issue a challenge to the Road Warriors. That will be one hard hitting match up. It's official JYD vs. Studd! YES! Shultz is GOLD! Awesome promo and then follows it up with an attack on the debuting Houston. Just a great segment. Oh man the Blackjacks are back for one last ride! Fantastic job!

Nice set of matches. I like how you keep Cooley hot. He looks good in losses to Flair and also stays strong with his Mississippi title defenses. Midnight Express show how brutal they can be by sending Pogo out on a stretcher. Giant Haystacks has some serious momentum going as he heads into his match with Hogan with a win over Stomper. Star studded main event as Fuller and Golden get the DQ win over Flair and Snake.

Great to see Zenk pop up. I really liked what you did with him in the 83 Project so I'm looking forward to watching this build. Awesome seeing the Vachons wrecking havoc. Al Perez makes a solid debut. Rose and Hickerson polish off McGhee and leave him hurting. LOL, Larry Z actually gets the best of his opponents (with help from Nord) and sends Jim and Valiant packing. Still loving the Borne/Slater matches You've done another amazing job of building a young star, this time with Texas Red. RnR continue their strong reign with a great win over the East West Connection. Piper has things going his way with Bundy until the Zambuie Express show up. Good grief, Bundy teaming with the Zambuie Express! Piper better bring in some big guns! Luck runs out for the Rose Army as Billy Jack puts Rose down and looks to be the next title challenger.

We will hear some pre recorded comments from Cocoa Samoa a little later. This week I was doing a lot of thinking and I've decided to appoint a commissioner here in TNT. This man will call the shots. Please welcome the new commissioner, Larry 'The Axe' Hennig! The fans cheer as Larry walks out and lifts his fist to them. Jarrett: I feel I couldn't of made a better pick. The time is yours Larry. Larry: Thank you Jerry. It's no secret my in ring career was coming to an end but I still want to be a part of this great business so when Jerry made this offer, well I just couldn't resist. Now, I'm not here to hamstring the wrestlers. If they have issues and scores to settle, I assure you, they will be settled in the ring. Stack: Ok, big news as Larry Hennig is the acting commissioner of TNT. Fans, lets go to the ring as the champ is ready for action.

The fans cheer as Funk holds the title high then heads to the podium. Stack: Well Terry, on June 7th you will be defending your title against either Santana or Bockwinkel.

They lock up and Tully pushes Chavo into the ropes. At the break, Tully slaps Chavo. An irate Chavo charges but Tully backpedals and slides to the outside. Tully spends a lot of time bantering with the fans. Tully gets on the apron and Chavo charges and pounds away then suplexes Tully back into the ring 1..2..Kick Out. Chavo is all over Tully with hip tosses, drop kicks and back drops. Chavo swings Tully to the corner and charges in but Tully lifts his knees as Chavo nails them head on.

Chavo pumps his fists and jumps up and down as Tully rolls out of the ring. Tully tries to stand by stumbles back down. Commercial Break Stack: What a moment! Chavo Guerrero has earned himself a TV title shot on June 7th. Fans, my guests at this time are Johnny Valiant and the Blonde Bomber Kerry Brown. Johnny, I understand you have a few things to say. Valiant: That's right so just sit back and let me do the talking! (Looks at Kerry) Kerry, you not only embarrassed me once but twice! You let that big dope Dan Spivey beat you not once but twice! There's no room here for losers. You my friend do not deserve the Blonde Bomber name anymore! Kerry: Whoa, hold on, what the hell are you talking about? Those loses are nothing I cant bounce back from. Valiant: Nope, sorry, it's to late. I've found another man who's a lot more worthy to carry the blonde bomber name. Let me introduce to you, Goldie Rogers! Goldie comes out and levels Kerry from behind with a clothesline! Goldie puts his foot on Kerry's back, smiles and poses as Valiant applauds. Commercial Break The show comes back and Bobby Jaggers is at the podium. Jaggers: You know Steve, my good buddy called me up a couple of weeks ago and asked me about getting together for another round. I told him HELL YES! That good buddy is none other than Dutch Mantel! Dutch comes out as the fans cheer. Dutch: That's right! The Kansas Jayhawks are back in action and brother we're going for some gold! Kansas Jayhawks vs. Vic Dutro and Gary Williams Jayhawks are decked out in full cowboy gear. Jaggers has his bull rope and Dutch has his whip. Jayhawks are all over their opponents. They finish off Williams with a double clothesline for the pin! Dutch grabs his whip and snaps it while Jaggers swings his bull rope. Commercial Break Man Mountain Link vs. Neil Casper On commentary, Steve puts over this monster as he makes his TNT debut. Link slams Casper down hard, swings off the ropes and hits a big splash 1..2..Link lifts Casper's head up as the fans. Link hoists Casper up and hits a running powerslam 1..2..3! The fans boo as Link hoists Casper up again and executes another powerslam! Stack: Wow! Man Mountain Link comes to TNT and right off the bat makes a dangerous impact. Fans, I want to bring in a true wrestling great who's arrived in TNT. Please welcome Mr. Wrestling 2! The fans cheer as Wrestling 2 walks out wearing his mask and suit. He's also carrying a mask. Wrestling 2: Steve, I wish I could say it was a pleasure to be here but I just cant. The state of affairs in the AWA and wrestling in general has me sick to my stomach. I've decided to do something about it. This mask I'm holding is reserved for a very special individual, somebody worthy enough to carry on the Wrestling tradition. Let me introduce to you, Jessie Barr! Barr walks out in a suit as the fans boo. Wrestling 2: Jessie, this mask is now yours and it is my honor to bestow upon you the name Mr. Wrestling 3! Barr: It will be an honor and privilege to uphold the Wrestling name. It's time this poor excuse for a wrestling territory actually had some quality wrestling. Jessie Barr puts on the mask. Wrestling 2 holds up his arm as the fans boo. Commercial Break The Fabulous Ones vs. Decimation w/Stan Stasiak On commentary, Steve reminds the fans that the Fabs will get a AWA Southern Tag Title match on June 7th while Decimation will receive an AWA World Tag Title match in July at the big Summer Blast Spectacular. This match stems from Decimation beating down the Fabs after their number one contender's match. The match starts with a brawl! The Fabs send Shaw out of the ring with a double drop kick then send Colley over the top rope with a double clothesline! Stasiak runs over to regroup his team. Fabs control the early portion with quick tags and double team maneuvers. The tide turns when Shaw hits Lane with a forearm to the back of the head from the apron.

Commercial Break 'Polish Power' Ivan Putski vs. Stu Jersky Putski is wrestling with some aggression probably stemming from his partner Rick McGraw turning on him last week. Putski totally squashes Jersky and finishes him off with the Polish Hammer! The fans cheer as Putski goes to the podium. Stack: Well Ivan, I'm sure you're trying to make sense of why Rick McGraw did what he did last week. Putski: He says I was holding him back and he called me a has been. It appears he's trying to make a name for himself at my expense. I'll tell you right now, that isn't going to happen! This old timer still has fuel in the tank and McGraw, I'm coming for you!

We're out here to issue a challenge. We want that greaser HTM and that back shooting coward Wells, in a match, next week! Stack: Ok, the challenge has been made. Fans, I want to take you to some pre recorded comments from Cocoa Samoa, who's at home resting. Cocoa (bandaged forehead) Ratamyus! Once again you have gotten the best of me by attacking from behind.

TNT Upcoming Card @ The Louisville Gardens, 6-7-84 TNT Title Bout Terry Funk (C) vs. Nick Bockwinkel AWA Southern Tag Title Bout Tony Atlas and Hercules Ayala (C) vs. The Fabulous Ones TV Title Bout Tully Blanchard (C) vs. Chavo Guerrero Ivan 'Polish Power' Putski vs. 'Quick Draw' Rick McGraw Kerry Brown vs. 'Blonde Bomber' Goldie Rogers w/Johnny Valiant NON SANCTIONED LIGHTS OUT MATCH Cocoa Samoa vs. Ratamyus More matches to be announced Also, SUMMER BLAST 84 is coming to the Mid South Coliseum in July! All the AWA World Titles will be defended!

The re debut of Stampede arrives! The Hogan/Bad News feud is red hot. Mutoh and Gilbert pull out wins in the Young Lions tournament as it's announced the finals will be on Canada Day. The biggest surprise for me was the AWA guys Rheinghans and the High Flyers attacking the Harts. WOW! Did not see that coming. Looks like we might be heading into a territory war. Only a matter of time before both Verne and Stu explode.

The Graham/Valentine saga continues. This has been full of intrigue and I cant wait until the mystery is solved. House of Humperdink goes from one maniac to another. Konga and Link will be a war. I wonder what Boomer Lynch is up to? Dusty and Kernodle take a beating from Kabuki and Haze! Things in Florida are at an all time level of chaos. I love it! On the loop, Sullivan beats Valentine with the Spike and Graham doesn't DQ him! More intrigue. Valentine comes back the next night and enlists Dory. Him and Dory take out Orndorff and Rhodes. Mike Davis gets some shine winning that battle royal. Oh man Elizabeth takes a fireball! Link will be on a revenge rampage!

With tensions rising between Verne and Stu, the big Canada Day card should be on epic event! Very interested in watching the Bad News/Hogan/Verne title hostage storyline play out. Love the addition of the Stampede title and alternating shows. It will be interesting watching certain pushes in certain territories.

TNT sends Chicky Starr to Pacific in exchange for Goldie Rogers.

Man, the Paul Jones Army is on a roll! Flair has all the confidence in the world as he issues an open challenge. I cant wait to see who accepts. June Jam sounds like it's going to be a super night for SECW. Great debut for Street as he gets over by insulting Gossett LOL. Flair beats Bugsy but a huge brawl follows! Hogan vs. Loch Ness! Yea! Nightmares look good in that draw with the Assassins. Armstrong puts Hamilton down. Has Armstrong finally finished off his feud with Hamilton? Jake pulls out the DDT and gets DQed against Mr. Olympia. This feud is heading for a great payoff. Flair backs up his talk and puts Cooley down with the figure four. I agree with Lee, it's good seeing Flair winning matches with the figure four.

Great follow up show. Von Erich's enlist the help of Al Madril and make a loser leaves town challenge! This match will be huge. Islanders look good in their televised debut. Tiger Conway gets some heat as he headbutts Cook after the match. Great promo by Bass and Bart. I'm glad you went with these guys as your first champs. JYD has the fans rock'n! Looks like he has his first challenge in Big John Studd! Good booking in the TV title main event as the last 2 men in the battle royal square off. Chick put up a fight but Herc gets his first title defense. WOW! OMG and Hogan! That's going to be explosive. Hogan/OMG, Von Erichs and Madril vs. Freebirds. Star Wars just sold out!

I have Angel and just picked up Fidel Sierra. So now I have my Cuban Assassins dream team LOL.

I'll also take my name out of the draft.

TNT puts the Sheepherders on the block. I'm looking for a babyface team to balance out my roster.

TNT releases Johnny Wilhoit, Sheik Hassan and Terry Gibbs to make room for recent drafts.

TNT will pick up Rick Link and officially drop out.

TNT selects Fidel Sierra

TNT will pick up Chicky Starr

I also agree, love the promos to open the show and set the tone. Out of the gate we get a huge upset as Fleming and Horowitz get a HUGE win over Fuji. Magnum and Rocky Johnson will be great allies. Good job putting the heels over strong as it gives both Snuka and Johnson a variety of contenders to work with. I think Backlund/Snuka could be one of the biggest feuds in this game. Hulk Hogan appearing on SNME next week. That just sounds so right.

I like your touring schedule and the A and B cards. Good job on balancing out the shows. Snuka vs. Steele is a money drawing main event. Then you have the Samoans defending against the Strongbows to go along with it. The other show draws with Johnson vs. Stevens and Backlund vs. Patterson. I've mentioned that I'm a sucker for low card prelim matches. Doesn't get any better than Sharpe vs. Goulet. I'm very interested in seeing what you do with John Quinn. The man was a monster!

Man, I couldn't wait for the Omni card and brother it delivered! Yoko body slams Hall to get the best of him. Sheik looks strong by passing out Roop with the camel clutch! I've mentioned I like the Kiniski/Adias feud. I really liked that Kiniski promo on TV. Kiniski gets the win and I have a feeling he's moving up. Road Warriors come to town and retain against the Gunslingers. After a solid feud, Arn Anderson sends Brad packing. Arn moves up a notch after this feud. I'm sure Lanny excited the crowd with that Senton as he puts David down. Looks like Lanny still has a lot of hatred towards his father. Sheik interferes and saves Koloff from a pin. I'm sure Sheik is on Hansen's list. Fantastics put up a fight but the Long Riders retain. The fans got their money's worth with a 34 minute barb wire match. Reed and Duggan go to a double DQ but the interesting part was Parson's accidently hitting Reed. WOW! The American Dream comes to town and teams with Rich against Sawyer and Ole! What a brawl! Sawyer gets the pin on Rich but it defiantly took a toll. Main Event time as Dibiase saves Hogan after Superstar hits him with the loaded mask. Dibiase seemed justified in his actions, we'll see where this goes. Awesome job!

Nightmares arrive and pull double duty. Nice addition with the subbing as it falls under the classic card subject to change LOL. Cooley and Humongous is a great match up considering how hot both wrestlers are right now. Great main event as Flair and Jake get the big win over Olympia and Stomper.
