Outstanding joint show as the fans got to see a lot of top stars in the AWA! What an upset as Jay Youngblood helps Don Kent win the TV title. Eddie Graham is going to want answers. House of Humperdink and Andersons is a very intriguing match up. Nobody capitalizes like the Andersons. This woman sure has a spell on Link LOL. Duggan proves he's one tough customer as he survives 2 piledrivers to come back and beat Orndorff. Reed retains in a hard fought match against Steamboat. Reed is one of the top stars in the AWA right now. Wild main event as Dibiase and Superstar go all out. Superstar and Poffo nearly cause a riot! Would of loved to see that Rose/Orndorff match in Raleigh! Rocky 'The Best' Kernodle just moved way up the ladder with that win over Sullivan in Greensboro. As always you did a great job of utilizing talent from other territories.

I agree with the Magnum comments. He's developing well here and getting a great rub from the stars. Eddie Hogan is also making a name for himself. The tag teams are stacked here with the Von Erichs, Freebirds, Shultz/Murdoch, Russians and Bass/Bart. That 10 man tag was epic!

Oh man what a card! Armstrong gets the DQ win over Hamilton which means this gem feud continues...YES! It didn't take long for Garvin to win some gold as he beats a red hot Cooley. No doubt in my mind that Cooley will bounce back. Jones ditches Graham then the Assassins show up! They beat down Fuller, Golden and Graham. Another great feud is started. Humongous and Stomper have another wild match. This is one crazy feud! Midnight Express retain and now get a shot at the AWA world titles. Cant wait for a Road Warriors/Midnight match. Flair and Olympia almost go 60 minutes until Jake the Snake debuts and puts Olympia down. Flair retains and Jake challenges Olympia. All is well until Brody returns!!! Those fans were lucky to witness all this. Great show!

Lot going on in SECW! LOL, RPG will add a lot of fun to the shows. Nice set up between Garvin and Cooley as Cooley gets the classic quick TV pin. Cooley is getting super over here while Garvin and Precious will get some great heat. From one hot angle to another as Hamilton tricks Armstrong and hits him again with the belt. This is Southern Wrestling at it's best. Oh man friction between Graham and Jones. I figured something would come from that Humongous headbutt. This is going to be intriguing. Oh yea! We're going to get Flair and Olympia in a 60 minute match...WHOOOOO!

What a show! The Dibiase/Superstar feud is really heating up as Dibiase is ready to break some rules. Like Mr. Kiniski using his Dad's backbreaker, nice touch. Scott Hall is certainly making a name for himself. Great TV title segment! Freak'n Stan Hansen comes in and gives Miller a beating to win the TV title. What made this work so well is that Miller has been crippling all of his opponents during his dominant reign, then Hansen storms in and takes the title. This was one of the best TV angles I've read. I like Roop coming in and saving Daniels. Daniels will learn a lot in the ring from Roop. Looking forward to their feud with the evil foreigners. Another solid house show loop with all the feuds running full throttle! Your TV is doing an outstanding job bringing the fans out to the arenas. Every match means something.

Man, what a show! Madril puts up a fight but OMG was just to big as he gets the win to advance. Kevin Von Erich and Terry Gordy gets wins as they prepare to meet next week. Love the seeds being planted here! Kabuki gets the win but I do think they're underestimating Magnum...big mistake. Russians look brutal as they look to get some gold. Blockbuster main event as JYD puts Kamala down to advance. I wonder how Kamala will feel about that mist spray from Kabuki? Really enjoying the tournament and cant wait for next week's matches.

Man, I'm loving the push Wendell Cooley is getting. The Midnight Express seem to be back on track. Flair gets in some title defenses. That match with Stomper must of been a lot of fun. The Stomper/Humungous feud is going to be a wild one!

After that post handshake double dropkick, Sugar and Ware look to be turning heel. That could be really interesting. Young Kendall gets a win in the always exciting Young Lions tournament. Sweetan and OX are causing a lot of trouble. Mr. Wrestling 2 is their latest victim. Leduc helps Dynamite retain over Gagne but Gagne gets some payback later and costs Leduc his tag match. Crusher and Ciclon have a fun brawl as Crusher prevails. Russia gets the best of USA tonight as Nikolai defeats Rheingens. Sheiks come back from their tag title defeat and co win a battle royal. Good way to get their heat back. Savage and Martel is a great combo and they end up with the win over Hart and Hennig thanks to Heenan LOL. The Rosemont Horizon delivers another money making card!

I love the way you keep everybody updated during the TV matches. Texas Red and Gibson is turning into a fun feud, so far Gibson is one step ahead of Red and Spoiler. Ron Starr could turn into something big here. Orton takes down Doll but Doll looks strong. Like the Borne/Anthony matches. Anthony gets one past Borne but this feud is far from over. Piper earns a title match with a tag win over Rose. Great follow up card in Portland. I agree, that RnR win over East West Connection is a bit of an upset. Looking forward to these teams going at it again. Bundy once again shows his dominance with a win over veteran Baron. Jacques and LaFleur work well together as they defeat LA Express. OH SNAP! Dick Slater has arrived! What a way to debut by hitting Billy Jack with a piledriver on the concrete! Slater will cause some havoc up here. Madril helps Rose retain against Piper but now must pay the Piper in a loser leaves town match...thanks to Rose LOL.

The card I was waiting for! Hamilton turns heel on Armstrong! This could be a hidden gem feud. Garvin and Precious have arrived and he gets a strong debut win over Horner. Love that 4 corners match and especially loved the Midnight Express regaining the titles. WOW! Fuller introduces the Mongolian Stomper! Stomper and Humungous fight to a wild double countout. I love this battle of oddities. Good to see Cooley bounce back from his loss to Flair and defeat Rogers. Fuller and Golden send Fire and Flame packing to end that feud. Olympia takes Flair to the limit. I think this is big for Olympia and I'm sure he will get a rematch.

I have no problem with you using Kiniski.

I agree, that Flair promo was solid gold! What a great explanation. I cant wait to watch Flair in the coming months. Mr. Olympia follows through with his promise and regains the Alabama title. Man, I cant wait to find out who this man Ron Fuller is sending in to face Humungous! Rat Patrol keep on rolling with a win over Fire and Flame. Scott Armstrong continues his win streak. Poor Graham, takes the fall after getting hit with a Humungous headbutt. I wonder if Graham will have a problem with that? Flair retains as he sneaks one past a game Wendell Cooley. I'm hoping we get a Flair/Hogan AWA title match!!!

The TV tournament was a lot of fun. Huge surprise as Rick Rude comes to town and wins the title! Rocky 'The Best' Kernodle is certainly making a name for himself as he costs Dusty a chance at the title then goes after Orndorff the next night. However, Steamboat beats him in an impromptu match. I do like the Briscos working as heels. Hoping to see more Wahoo/Dory Funk matches. Barry Windham could be a top babyface in no time.

Another fun loop. I think the Freebirds and Shultz/Murdoch are battling for top heel team spot. Kamala showed his dominance in handicap matches. Magnum teaming with the Von Erichs is pretty cool. The Von Erichs will need him if they cross paths with the Freebirds.

Great TV show. It was nice seeing Georgia mainstays Rose and Donovan get a win. Les Thornton seems to have an interest in Michaels and Powers, I think they should take him up on that offer. Clearly the issues between Masked Superstar and Dibiase are far from over. Kelly Kiniski arrives and gets a solid win over Austin and wants to continue his rivalry with Adias. I'm looking forward to watching what you do with Kiniski, oh sorry Mr. Kiniski. Man, the Road Warriors simply dominate Iron Curtain. Long Riders are next. Lanny Poffo is showing more aggression and has ominous words for his Dad. AWA World Champ Hulk Hogan makes an appearance and is ready for Dibiase and also sends a warning to Superstar. Liked the promos with the Andersons and Armstrongs to keep this feud moving. Another good round of matches on the loop. Hogan retains against Dibiase after interference from Superstar. Looks like Hogan got some payback with that win over Superstar in Baltimore. And I'm sure Dibiase got his blows in on Superstar during that cage match in Augusta. Armstrongs might of got the best of the Andersons this week. Road Warriors retained against different teams. Loved that Rich/Sawyer match in Baltimore. Man, I'm hoping they get a feud down the road.

Edger, you are the master of these joint shows. LaFleur and Mantell go to a classic opening 10 minute draw. Blair does his best but Link was just to much. Link is on a roll. Fun and clean brothers tag match as the Von Erichs continue their winning ways. Valentine goes over but Hogan looks strong. Feel good win as America's Team puts down the nasty Russians. Man, Shultz has got to be one of the top heels in the entire AWA. This man is a heat magnet. Him and Wahoo have an all out war and it looks like we're going to get more. Classis match between Steamboat and Jack Brisco. Jerry tries to stack the odds but Steamboat prevails as he moves further up the ranks. Of course the Freebirds have to go over in a Bad Street Fight. Loving this feud between the Birds and House of Humperdink. That segues into the wild main event. Nobody is more dangerous with a foreign object than Abdullah. Gordy found that out tonight. Looking forward to the rubber match. Really liked this card as the territories in the AWA continue to work magic together.

Another fun loop. Scott Armstrong is doing quite well as Jr. Champ. Cooley is getting some good spotlight as he tangles with Rogers. LOL, Olympia really gave Robley a pounding. Rat Patrol seems to have the Midnight Express's number. Humungous is tearing apart the competition. Who can stop him??? And Flair is back as he retains against Jimmy Golden.

Another action packed WCCW show! Al Perez gets a good TV win. Always liked Al and I'm hoping he gets a good push here. Lanza puts up a fight but Murdoch sneaks in the win to advance. Akbar introduces Kamala and man does he make an impact! This is only the beginning as he brutally attacks Dr. Death and sends him to the hospital! Kamala has just become a major force! Little brother Hogan wants some gold and throws his name in for the TV title. LOL, I'm liking this gimmick and looking forward to seeing where this goes. Another monster debuts as Percy brings in the One Man Gang! OMG will certainly do some damage here. Awesome match between Windham and Bass. This could of gone either way but Windham prevails with a great finish to advance. So far this tournament has been a lot of fun. The show could of ended there but wait, we get an epic appearance by the Junkyard Dog!!!! Next week we get Kamala vs. JYD in what should be a wild brawl. JYD, Kamala, Windham, Shultz, Murdoch, Von Erichs, Freebirds...World Class is absolutely on fire!

Fans, hurry up and get your tickets now because you wont want to miss this one.

Questions are answered! The Heenan Family looks pretty impressive with Hart, Hennig and Rude. Hogan is the champ again but it looks like there's a lot of contenders lining up. Hogan has a plan and the Mega Powers are serving notice! Garvin and Precious are gone but Hot Stuff has something in the works. Young Lions tournament continues to roll. I'm still picking Nikita. All Star Wrestling is on fire as new alliances are formed and ready to rock!

A lot of talent arriving in 85. LOL, yea I see some guys I'll have to protect.

Big Red continues to get some good buzz and I like the Spoiler as his mentor. Ricky Gibson proves he can get down as well. Liked that Nord finish with the megaphone/big boot! Looks like Billy Jack is getting the best of Anthony in their feud. RnR get the pin but Zambuie keeps the fight going. Crazy 6 man tag as Vachon and Bundy tear into each other. Garvin with his sunset flip gets the fall. Rose barely hangs on to his title as Adams gets the C.O win. I think Adams has earned a rematch.

OH SNAP!!!!! What a turn by Flair! Man, that was epic! Flair is going to get mega heat for this. That was one brutal cage match between Brody and Hansen! Could they be forced to join forces after what happened? Along with all this, Baby Doll gets suplexed by Robley on the floor! King gets attacked by Boyd, Kendo, Tojo and Pogo! And Scott Armstrong wins the Jr. Title! Talk about a great night of action. Those fans were lucky to witness all of that.
