I agree with everybody, Shultz and Murdoch are on their way to becoming the top heels here. They will draw money with Magnum and Windham along with the Von Erichs. Like Kabuki teaming with the Mongols. Akbar has himself a solid group of crazy heels. A lot of great talent that's giving fans on the loop their money's worth.

Oh Snap! Rocky Kernodle and House of Humperdink are causing all sorts of chaos! Didn't see that turn coming. Eddie Graham is all over Humperdink and brings in the Freebirds! More chaos as we now get a joint card. Freebirds and House of Humperdink will bring in some serious money. I knew sooner or later Dusty would get involved with Humperdink. That's the kind of feud you can get a lot of miles out of. The brackets are set for a big TV title tournament. Bobby Heenan is even bringing in Rude. That joint card looks stacked! Love all the craziness going on here.

I like Adias mentioning his Texas background and dealings with Kiniski and especially Gary Hart. Adds more intrigue to this very interesting angle. Good job in the building of Scott Hall. It's fun to see Hall and Yoko going at it in this stage of their careers. Hogan winning the AWA title has shaken things up. Dibiase gets the next shot and Masked Superstar takes his rage out on Michaels. I have a feeling Superstar is going to get involved in the upcoming title match. Another good angle going here. Good promos from Iceman and the Armstrongs. Mean Mike also gets some time as he gives Jake a stern warning. Action packed TV main event as the Long Riders get the shot at the Road Warriors. Post match chaos as Hart takes a beating. Poffo gets some satisfaction by hitting his Dad with a chair. I think Angelo is going to go all out now. Long Riders/Road Warriors should be a wild brawl. The angles are really working here.

So much going on here in SECW! Congrats to Wendel Cooley on winning the Mississippi Championship. I love the push he's getting. Robley gets involved in the Olympia/Rogers feud adding another obstacle for Olympia. Rat Patrol are on a roll and remain champs. Humungous really did a number on Fuller. I think this really puts Humungous over. YES! Brody and Hansen will go at it again inside the cage! This isn't about winning but more about survival. WOW! Graham sends JYD packing. Didn't see that coming. This really puts Graham back up there Man, all this going on and Flair comes back soon. Great stuff! .

Great show! Classic promos from Dr. D and Murdoch. These two will get mega heat! Speaking of classic promos, Michael Hayes delivers a great one. You really have him down. They follow up with a solid squash. Windham looks good and ready for his tournament match with Bass but Bass gets the first shot in as he attacks Windham. Good job getting heat on their upcoming match. Skandor introduces the Mongols! They look devastating in their debut. Fun TV main event as Kerry and Bart go at it. Of course Kerry's going over in his triumphant return. Kevin joins him at the end and the Von Erich's are back in Texas! Damn, the Von Erichs, Freebirds, Mongols, Shultz and Murdoch! I love all these factions. Only a matter of time before the Freebirds and Von Erichs cross paths. WCCW is really clicking!

He works Williams over then hits a Russian Legsweep, he picks up Williams and executes a swinging neckbreaker to get the pin! The fans cheer as Funk heads to the podium. Funk: Last week Nick Bockwinkle called me a wild man and said he's gonna outsmart me. Well guess what? I am a wild man and I am crazy! Bockwinkle is the one who wont be able to handle me.

This situation is getting volatile. With me right now is the current TV champion Tully Blanchard. Tully, I know you'll be watching the Dream Machine/Kerry Brown match very closely. Tully: (smirking) Why should I be watching? Neither one of those guys are the caliber of myself. Come on Stack, I'm in a league all by myself. I am the cream of the crop. I am the TV champion! Commercial Break Jumbo Tsuruta w/Stan Stasiak vs. 'New Generation' Johnny Wilhoit Wilhoit gets in some solid offense with drop kicks and arm drags. Wilhoit back drops Tsuruta and follows with a jumping elbow drop 1..2..Tsuruta kicks out. Wilhoit swings Tsurta to the ropes but Tsuruta comes back and puts Wilhoit down with a lariat!

Peters staggers up and McGraw hits a flying body press for the pin! 'Mr. Electricity' Steve Regal vs. Dave Michaels Regal works Michaels over then hits a vertical suplex. Regal climbs to the top rope. Michaels staggers up and Regal hits a Missile Dropkick to get the pin! The fans boo as Regal heads to the podium. Stack: Well Regal, it appears the point you made last week was heard by Jerry Jarrett because he's decided that you and Rick McGraw will face off next week and the winner will get a Light Heavyweight title shot on April 6th against the Dynamite Kid. Regal: I really don't know why I have to wrestle an underachiever like McGraw to get a title shot but whatever I'll just easily beat him and move on to a title shot that should already be mine. The fans cheer as McGraw heads out. McGraw: You know I've had enough of listening to you cry about what's yours. You obviously have put yourself on a pedestal but you haven't beaten me yet and brother you're looking at a man who wants that title shot bad. I'm going to prove to you why it should be me and not you getting that shot. See you next week. As McGraw leaves, Regal tries to hit him from behind but McGraw turns around, blocks the punch and puts Regal down with a punch! Commercial Break Stack: We're just about set for a big tag match and... Tony Atlas storms the podium. Atlas: George Wells! You got me twice now boy but I guarantee that wont happen again! You hear me boy! You and me on April 6th at the Hemisfair Arena. I cant wait to beat you down! Ratamyus and Cuban Assassin vs. Cocoa Samoa and Steve O Steve O comes out as Cocoa's mystery partner and all 4 men are brawling! Cocoa hurls Ratamyus out of the ring and follows. Steve O is pounding away on Cuban in the corner. Cocoa is punching away on Ratamyus on the outside. The Ref is trying to get control and backs Steve O up. Cuban reaches in his tights. Steve O heads towards him and Cuban throws salt in his face. The Ref signals for the DQ! Cocoa hears the bell and looks in the ring as Steve O is on the ground rubbing his eyes. Cocoa hits the ring and hammers away on Cuban, swings him to the ropes and puts him down with a flying headbutt. Cocoa checks on Steve O. Him and the Ref are looking him over when WHAM! Ratamyus smashes a wooden chair over the back of Cocoa's head!!! The fans are shocked when Ratamyus grabs a piece of wood and starts grinding it on the forehead of Cocoa! Cocoa is bleeding bad. The Ref tries to get Ratamyus off but Ratamyus eye rakes the Ref and body slams him down! Ratamyus goes crazy and starts choking the Ref! Several wrestlers run to the ring to stop this madness. Commercial Break Stack: I'm not sure what to say. That was one of the most disgusting acts I've ever seen on television. I'm sure Jerry Jarrett will have something to say about the horrible actions of Ratamyus. Cocoa, Steve O and the Referee have been helped out of here. Well lets go back to the ring. Larry 'The Axe' Hennig and Billy Robinson vs. The Jones Brothers After Decimation's attack following Robinson's win over Colley last week, Larry Hennig made the save and said he's a partner Robinson can trust. They gel well tonight as they take the Jones Brothers to wrestling school. Robinson executes a suplex then tags in Larry. Robinson swings Jones to the ropes and Larry puts him down with the Running Forearm smash for the pin! The fans cheer as Robinson and Hennig hold their fists high. Commercial Break Winner gets a TV title shot Dream Machine vs. 'Blonde Bomber' Kerry Brown w/Johnny Valiant Back and forth match as both men want that TV title shot bad. Brown gets the advantage by a distraction from Valiant. Brown works Dream over with a body slam and several knee drops.

The fans roar as Dream gets his TV title match. Commercial Break Hercules Ayala vs. Terry Gibbs Gibbs gets in some classic rule breaking offense but it doesn't last long as Ayala grabs Gibbs, hoists him up and crashes him back with a Samoan Drop. Ayala picks Gibbs up, clamps on a bear hug then rams Gibbs into the turnbuckles and follows with a belly to belly suplex for the pin! Ayala cuts a promo and says he wants Race one more time on April 6th but this time he wants the count out rule waved! Commercial Break Main Event AWA Southern Tag Team Champs The Nightmares w/Jimmy Hart and 'The Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol VS. The Fabulous Ones and 'Hangman' Bobby Jaggers Fun 6 man tag as the tide turns several times and everybody shines. At one point Idol puts Lane down with a back elbow smash and tags in Wayne. Wayne hits a back breaker on Lane and holds him while Davis comes off the middle ropes with a knee drop. Later, Jaggers swings Davis to the ropes and hits him with a running bionic elbow then the Fabulous Ones followed by swinging Davis to the ropes and double back dropped him. This ensues a brawl! The Nightmares and Fabs are brawling on the outside as the Ref is distracted by this. Jaggers and Idol are going at it. Jaggers kicks Idol in the mid section and hits a Hanging Neckbreaker! The Ref is still distracted by the brawl on the outside. The fans boo as Adrian Street hits the ring with a leather strap and starts beating down on Jaggers with that strap. Street puts Idol on top of Jaggers and exits the ring. The Ref turns around, runs over and counts 1..2..3!!! Big time boos. Street hugs his leather strap and smiles then heads to the podium. Street: EMMMMM, Bobby Boy wants a bullrope match with me on April 6th? Sure, I'll be more than happy to accommodate him. Just imagine what I can do to him EMMMMM. Stack: Unbelievable. Well, Street just costed Jaggers and the Fabulous Ones their match and I know Jaggers will be looking for payback. Fans, TNT will be back next week in Memphis as The King, Jerry Lawler will be back on TNT television. Fans, see you next week.

Good grief what a show! A night filled with non stop action, twists and turns! Sweet Brown Sugar and Koko Ware get things going with a high energy win. Gilbert gets ahead in the Young Lions tournament but Mutoh ends up spraying Precious. Friction in Hot Stuff Inc. The feud between Commonwealth and The Harts continues as they battle to a double DQ. Damn, the Russians looked absolutely dominating tonight! WOW! Hennig turns on Martel and Rude gets a huge win! Heenan scores a major coupe with Hennig. Savage and Bret have an all time classic until Heenan gets involved and pushes Savage off the ropes! Big Shocker here! Where does Bret fit in all this? Road Warriors win the titles!!! Man, who's going to take the straps off these guys??? The Loser Leaves town cage match went beyond expectations as Bad News and Stomper have a bloody war. Bad News ends up winning but Stomper can leave with his head high. Now the big one. The AWA title main event delivers as Lawler and Hogan put on a great match. Then chaos ensues as Sweetan and Ox come out but are stopped by Savage! Hogan wins the title!!! Great job! Lot's of new intriguing storylines have started with the Heenan Family, Sweetan and Ox, Road Warriors as champs and the Mega Powers might be aligning.

The big card I was waiting for! Humungous takes it up a level as he goes after the Fullers! After a good chase the Rat Patrol takes the straps from the Midnight Express. I think the Midnight's will be back. I agree with Edger, I'm sure Lawler had no problem taking that C.O. win over JYD. Blockbuster main event as Hansen and Brody brawl in the cage! Hansen gets the hard fought win but Brody leaves him laying which I'm sure will give us a heated rematch.

Moscas get the win as Hercules leaves his partner mid match. I think Hercules could have a solid heel run here. Oh man cant wait to see what Eddie has in store for House of Humperdink. Youngbloods get a big win as Jay pins the Florida champ. Jay might have earned himself a title shot. Good seeing the tough vets Dory and Wahoo winning in Florida proving they still have a lot of fight left.

A lot happening in SECW! Flair says he will defiantly be back! WHOOOO! Midnight Express add Doug Sommers. I love this acquisition! Paul Jones debuts Humungous as he destroys his opponents. Stan Hansen issues a challenge to Brody in a Cage! That's a guaranteed sell out. Big card in Dothan, Gilbert retains against the very credible Horner. I knew Olympia would get some help and he does with Baby Doll. Doll makes good on her promise by tackling Brenda. Humungous is already on a terror as he beats a man who's been on a roll (Cooley) Even with Sommers the Rat Pack are victorious. I don't think the Midnight Express will let this slide. Wild tag match as JYD gets the pin on Graham but Brody and Hansen end up brawling everywhere. Will the cage match settle their issues? Big main event as Lawler retains the AWA world title against fan favorite Fuller.

AWA Pacific is back with another solid TV show. I like both Spoiler and Jacques playing mentors to their young but very gifted partners. Hopefully these two teams will meet at some point. Vachon seems to be reinvigorated and ready to go. Glamour Boys give the champs a fight but the crafty Orton and Brooks retain. Wild 6 man tag that ends in chaos. This feud is far from over. Great main event for the TV title as Burke retains but Flowers gives him a post match beating to continue this fun feud.

Great action! Loved the Reed/Sawyer battles! Man that Andersons/Armstrongs cage match looked epic! Mean Mike had some tough draws as he holds on to his title. Scott Hall gets a good shine by throwing Yoko out of the ring. Cant wait to see these guys go at it. Dibiase gets the best of Sammartino. Also Hart continues to gain the trust of Rich.

I enjoyed the house show loop as Williams and Magnum are looking strong. Especially loved the battle royals. You're right about Dr. D, he could become a huge heel in the AWA

Always love reading your house shows. Fun seeing Mike Jackson get a shot at the Jr. Title. Man I thought Cooley won the title from Rogers until I saw the Countout LOL. Midnight Express are still rolling. I'm really looking forward to watching Stan Hansen here.

Big night for Kabuki as he gets the best of the Mosca's. Dusty shows why it's good to have a friend like Wahoo watching his back. With Ole and Arn tearing it up in Georgia I'm looking forward to seeing what Gene does in Florida,

Nice touch with a shortened show due to the Braves game. I totally remember these things happening. I'm 100% behind a Jake/Mean Mike program! This could end up being huge. Love the feud going on with Reed/Parsons-Sawyer and Duggan. These guys will have some wars on the loop. Ole has choice words for the Armstrongs and Arn follows up by dismantling Timbs in the ring. It's still surreal seeing Gary Hart as a babyface LOL. He's working hard at gaining trust with Tommy Rich. Will Hart get that handshake from Rich? Fantastics look good as they're still looking to dethrone the Long Riders and also are eyeing the AWA tag titles. Looking forward to Lawler returning to Georgia in a few weeks.

Another good loop. I love all the interesting match ups that make these house shows so much fun. Mean Mike continues to dominate as TV champ. Heaven's Angels had a great week and are rising quickly. Yoko is having some dominating squashes. Fantastics are taking the fight to the Long Riders but Long Riders remain champs. Liking the Armstrongs/Andersons battles. So glad to see Reed at the top of the card defending his National Title.

For real, this night belonged to House of Humperdink!

Oh man the countdown is on for the next supershow! Bret wins his match but Savage and Heenan play mind games. Young Lions get a good showcase tonight and despite what Trongard says, I think Nikita has got to be considered the favorite. Hmmmmmm, Precious gives Gilbert a kiss and Garvin rightfully seemed surprised. This cant be good. Highlight of the show is Hogan being attacked by Ox and Sweetan! What a way for Sweetan to debut! Will Hogan make it to the supershow??? Lawler must be a happy man right now. Cant wait for the Road Warriors/Sheiks collision! Same with the Harts and Commonwealth especially after that parking lot brawl! All that and we're also getting the big loser leaves town cage match between Bad News and Stomper. What a heated feud that's been. So much good stuff going on here. Incredible build up! The supershow should pack the house!

The much anticipated debut of WCCW debuts! Great job! Good work in having Bill Watts give a back story. Nice touch in getting the readers caught up on the happenings. Magnum TA immediately comes off as a huge star as he belly to belly's both Grizzly's! I agree on the booking of Beefcake. He immediately gets a rub with the Hogan name. Black Bart gets a dominating squash and could be a big deal here. Excellent job with Dr. D! With the match and awesome promo, he's already established himself as a top heel. You painted a very realistic picture of Blackjack Lanza at this point in his career. He can still fight and will also play a good mentor. Solid TV main event as the Russians take down Casey and Mantell via the chain. Clearly this fight isn't over. Things are looking good in WCCW and cant wait for the title tournament!

TNT Wrestling TV @ The Roane Fieldhouse 3-15-84 Highlights are shown of last week's big card in Nashville followed by Lance Russell opening up the show. Lance: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of TNT Wrestling here on the USA Network. TNT is sanctioned by the AWA. Well you just saw the highlights of everything that went down in Nashville and we'll be talking a lot about that on tonight's show. We do have a lot of action in store as Johnny Wilhoit takes on Austin Idol, Billy Robinson clashes with Randy Colley of Decimation and in our main event, a rematch from Nashville as Hercules Ayala goes up against Harley Race. All that and a whole lot more. Let's go to the ring as the Dream Machine returns to TNT. Dream Machine vs. Gary Williams Dream Machine takes it to Williams and looks good tonight. He whips Williams to the ropes and puts him down with a clothesline then swings off the ropes and drops an elbow to get the pin! Lance: Impressive showing, now that your back, what are your intentions here in TNT? Dream: The last time you saw me I was wrestling for the TV title baby and I'm here to continue that quest. I want a shot and believe me I'm not going to let it slip away from me this time. The crowd boos as Tully Blanchard arrogantly walks out in a suit and sunglasses with the TV title on his shoulder. Tully: Whoa, slow down there my masked friend. In case you haven't heard, I'm the TV champion and I fought a lot of Jarrett's politics to finally get this title. Last time you were wrestling Tommy Rich for the title. I just got done beating up Tommy so badly that he's packed his bags and left TNT. You cant just come out and demand a title shot because I decide who's worthy for a shot. In other words, get to the back of the line Jack! Tully light slaps Dream Machine. Dream Machine pushes Tully's hand away and pushes Tully back! Tully takes off his sunglasses but officials come out to prevent anything further. Commercial Break Lance: Tempers are flaring between Tully Blanchard and the Dream Machine. Please welcome out Jerry Jarrett. Jerry, I understand you have something to say regarding the TV title. Jarrett: Thank you Lance. I have decided that next week, the Dream Machine will wrestle Kerry Brown and the winner will get a TV title shot on April 6th at the HemisFair Arena. Since I'm out here, I would like to officially announce that also on that night, Nick Bockwinkel will defend the AWA TNT title against number one contender, Terry Funk. And one more title match will be added as the Nightmares will defend the AWA Southern Tag Team Titles against the Fabulous Ones. It should be a great night of action on April 6th at the HemisFair Arena. Lance: Indeed it will be. Speaking of the TNT title, we all saw the shocking actions of George Wells in Nashville as he attacked and costed Tony Atlas his match with Nick Bockwinkel. George Wells is set for action. 'Master G' George Wells vs. Vic Dutro Wells once again shocks everybody as he comes to the ring escorted by Jimmy Hart! Wells punches and stomps away on Dutro as Hart encourages him from the outside. Wells swings Dutro to the ropes and back drops him. Wells hops up on the middle ropes, Dutro staggers up and Wells nails him with a flying shoulder tackle for the pin! The fans boo as Hart raises Well's arm. Wells gives Dutro a couple more stomps before heading to the podium. Lance: Oh come on George, what's with you lately? First you attack Tony Atlas during his TNT title match and now you're out here with Jimmy Hart. Can you explain yourself? Wells: I don't owe you or these idiots out here any explanation! I will say that it felt so good knocking that fraud Atlas down! I've been looking all over the world for that coward and long and behold I find out he's wrestling for the TNT title. What a sham! Hart: It's simple Russell. George Wells is a winner and all he needs is some guidance and someone to help him cut through all the red tape he's seen his entire career. I'm that someone! I manage champions, I'm talking about the AWA southern champs my Nightmares (Laughs) and mark my words, George Wells will be a champion. HAHAHAHAHA! Lance: (Shaking his head) I don't believe this. Well Tony Atlas will be back next week and we'll see what he has to say about all this. Commercial Break 'New Generation' Johnny Wilhoit vs. 'Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol Both men are coming off losses in Nashville as Wilhoit dropped one to Kerry Brown and Idol lost his number one's contender's match to Funk. The first few minutes is back and forth. Wilhoit takes control with hip tosses and drop kicks and almost puts Idol away with a flying press. Wilhoit swings Idol into the turnbuckles and charges in but Idol puts him down with a back elbow smash. Idol works over Wilhoit's leg then hits a Shin Breaker and clamps on the Las Vegas Leglock! Wilhoit puts up a good fight but ends up submitting. The fans boo as Idol gives them a wink and bicep pose. Commercial Break When we come back, Wilhoit is still in the ring. The Ref helps him up but Wilhoit pushes him away. Wilhoit exits the ring and flips over a chair in frustration. Lance: Impressive win for Austin Idol and a clearly frustrated and disappointed Johnny Wilhoit. I want to bring in Bobby Jaggers. Bobby, I know you cant be happy about how things went down in Nashville as Miss Linda interfered to cost you your match with Adrian Street. Jaggers: I'm not happy Lance! (Holds up his bullrope) But I'm going to do something about it. Street, let's see how tough you are. I'm challenging you to a bullrope match on April 6th! Let's see if you have the guts boy! Lance: Oh my! I would love to see the look on Adrian Street's face right now. Fans, back to the ring. 'Blonde Bomber' Kerry Brown w/Johnny Valiant vs. Pete Alfaro Brown body slams Alfaro then drags him to the ropes and chokes him on the middle rope. Alfaro is hanging on the ropes as Brown swings off and comes back with a body guillotine. Brown picks Alfaro up and hits a Shoulder Breaker for the win! The fans boo as Valiant leads Brown to the podium. Valiant: I told you so Lance! You heard the big news. My main man Kerry Brown is already in contention for the TV title. Next week he's going to dismantle that masked freak and then it's on to the TV title! Valiant and Brown laugh then exit. Lance: That match happens next week. I understand Stan Stasiak has something to say. Ok, Stan, you got your time. Stasiak: Just stay back and shut your mouth Lance! I guess that poor sap Billy Robinson is a gluten for punishment. Jumbo Tsuruta soundly beats him in Nashville and now he wants to face a member of Decimation. After Randy Colley gets through with you Robinson, you'll never want to hear my name again! Get ready for another beating! Commercial Break Steve Olsonoski vs. Terry Gibbs Steve makes his TNT debut tonight, facing the rugged Terry Gibbs. Gibbs gets in an eye rake and works Steve over. Gibbs goes for a back drop but Steve leapfrogs over, swings back and puts Gibbs down with a forearm smash. Steve body slams Gibbs, hops on the middle ropes and hits a flying knee drop for the pin! The fans give Steve a good applause as he heads to the podium. Lance welcomes him to TNT. Steve: Thank you very much Lance and you and the great people here can call me Steve O. You know, I've held numerous regional titles in my career but in the last year or so I've been off track. Seen more losses than I wanted. I'm here in TNT for a fresh start. I'm focused and refreshed and ready to go! Lance: I for one am looking forward to watching Steve O here in TNT, when we... Mr. Electricity Steve Regal walks up to the podium. Lance: Oh ok, Steve Regal has joined me. Steve, I heard you signed with TNT but wasn't expecting you today. Regal: I have something to say and it just couldn't wait. I was sickened by the comments of Rick McGraw. Where does he get off thinking he's in contention for the Light Heavyweight Championship? What has he done to earn a shot? Nothing! I've been a top light heavyweight wrestler for years. If anyone deserves a title shot it's me! Lance: Ok, Regal brings up a valid point and I'm sure Jerry Jarrett will put some thought into this one. Commercial Break Lance: Before we get to our next featured bout, I have some exciting news. On April 6th at the HemisFair card, Tito Santana will be making his TNT debut. Looking forward to having Tito Santana here in TNT. I also wanted to take a moment and say that the AWA World Champion, Jerry Lawler has been successfully defending his title all across the AWA against the best competition in the world. We look forward to seeing the King return to TNT television in the weeks to come. Back to the ring. Billy Robinson vs. Randy Colley w/Stan Stasiak Billy is a man possessed as he runs in the ring and pounds away on Colley. Stasiak is still on the apron but Billy swings Colley into him and Stasiak goes flying. Billy hits a double arm suplex and follows with a gut wrench suplex then proceeds to drop several knees on Colley. Billy swings Colley into the turnbuckles and follows with several European uppercuts. Billy body slams Colley and swings off the ropes but Stasiak trips him. Billy stumbles forward then turns around and goes to the ropes and yells down at Stasiak. Stasiak is telling him to come out and fight. Billy heads through the ropes but Colley nails him with a knee to the back that sends him to the outside. Colley distracts the Ref as Stasiak stomps on Billy then hurls him back in the ring. Colley takes over with body slams and elbow drops then chokes him with his boot. Colley swings Billy to the ropes and goes for a back drop but Billy kicks him and follows with a European uppercut then hits a swinging neckbreaker 1...2...3!!!! The crowd cheers as the Ref raises Billy's arm. Mike Shaw hits the ring and clotheslines Billy from behind! Stasiak gets in there and they stomp away on Billy. Colley staggers up and Decimation swings him to the ropes and put him down with a double clothesline! Huge cheers from the crowd as Larry 'The Axe' Hennig storms the ring with a chair and swings wildly as Stasiak and Decimation get out of there. Stasiak and Decimation are looking in surprise as Hennig holds up the chair and motions for them to come back in. They leave and Hennig checks on Billy. Commercial Break Lance brings Larry Hennig over and asks him what he's doing here. Hennig: Billy and I have been in this business a long time and have known each other a long time. We might be winding down but him and I both think we have some fight left. Jumbo Tsuruta made a big mistake turning on Billy but I wont do that. Billy's got a partner in me and Decimation, rest assured we have another run left in us! The Guerreros vs. Frank Samson and Lou Larson The Guerreros are coming off a big win over the Sheepherders but the fight is clearly not over. Guerreros look sharp tonight as they hit a double vertical suplex on Samson. Mando tags Chavo. Chavo goes to the top. Mando swings Samson to the ropes and hits him with a knee to the mid section as Chavo comes off the top with a sunset flip to get the pin! Cocoa Samoa vs. Willie Jones Cocoa has the fans cheering as he hits a high drop kick on Jones then swings off the ropes and hits a jumping leg drop. Cocoa hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a diving headbutt to get the win! The Ref raises his arm in victory but Cocoa is distracted by Ratamyus and Cuban Assassin. They're on the outside causing a commotion. Cocoa watches them as he heads to the podium. Lance isn't sure what's going on here. He starts to interview Cocoa but Ratamyus and Cuban Assassin head towards them. Cuban walks to the podium. Cuban: Why is this savage out here? We want to say something! Cocoa: If you have a pro.... Cocoa is nailed from behind by Ratamyus with a chair!! Security is quick to respond as they take Cuban and Ratamyus out of there. Commercial Break Lance: I have no idea what that was about and why Cuban Assassin and Ratamyus have targeted Cocoa Samoa. I hope Cocoa is ok. Fans, I want to bring out the current TNT champion, Nick Bockwinkel. Nick, we all saw the footage from Nashville and.. Bock: Let me stop you right there Mr. Russell. I know where you're heading. I was clearly giving Tony Atlas a wrestling lesson and had things in total control. I cant help it if Tony Atlas has made a list of enemies, that does not concern me. What concerns me is this TNT title. And as you can see it's clearly where it should be, around my waist. It will continue to remain around my waist for a very long time. Now, the matter at hand, Terry Funk. Terry Funk has been named number one contender but all that means is he will be just another domino I knock down, just another notch in my belt. He's a non issue. He's an uncontrollable Wildman who will be easily outsmarted by myself. Enjoy these next few weeks Mr. Funk, because it will be the closest you'll ever get to this here TNT title. A very good day to you Mr. Russell. Lance: Ok, there you have it from the TNT champ himself, Nick Bockwinkel. Terry Funk will be in action next week. Before we get to our main event I wanted to speak with the Fabulous Ones. You boys get a long awaited tag team title match on April 6th. That must feel great. The Fabulous Ones cut a promo and talk about how great it is to have taken care of Bob Sweetan and Dave Shultz once and for all. Now that that's over they are excited and focused on their upcoming tag title match with the Nightmares. They remind the Nightmares, they never lost those titles and the Nightmares have never beaten them. April 6th will be the Fabulous Ones night! Commercial Break Main Event Harley Race vs. Hercules Ayala These two start with a slugfest and Ayala gets the best of it. Ayala swings Race into the turnbuckles and Race staggers into a big back drop. Race staggers up and Ayala puts him down with a clothesline 1..2..Race gets his shoulder up. Ayala reaches down but Race rakes the eyes and gives him a knee lift. Race regroups and works Ayala over. Race body slams him then swings off the ropes and comes down with a delayed headbutt 1..2..Kick out. Race hoists Ayala up and vertical suplexes him back then follows with a delayed knee drop 1..2..Kick Out. Race berates the Ref as he holds up 3 fingers. Race swings Ayala into the turnbuckles and charges in but Ayala moves and Race flips up into the turnbuckles. Race is hanging upside down as Ayala regroups. Ayala stomps away on Race then pulls him down. Ayala picks up Race and powerslams him over 1..2..Race gets his foot on the rope. Ayala swings Race into the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Race ducks and swings back with a flying press but Ayala is able to hold him up as the momentum carries both men over the top rope. The Ref counts as both men try to get up and back in the ring. The Ref hits 8 as Race charges at Ayala but this time Ayala back drops Race on the concrete and slides back in the ring as the Ref hits 10! Ayala gets the countout win. Both men have traded count out victories. Needless to say a rematch is in order. Lance: What a great main event. I'm sure these men will meet again. Fans, this has been... Cocoa Samoa storms out clearly favoring his back from that chair shot earlier. Cocoa: Ratamyus! Cuban Assassin! I'm not a target and I'm not somebody you can choose to punish! You want a fight? You got one. Next week I'll find a partner and then the both of you will feel my wrath! Lance: Oh my, I've never seen Cocoa that fired up. That should be a wild confrontation next week. Until then, so long.

Great way to start things off on TV. I agree, you made Valentine the biggest threat in Florida and he didn't even have to show his face. With Orndorff, Steamboat and Dusty all calling him out, that shows how big Valentine is here. Orndorff and Steamboat should make quite an alliance. Then you have Dusty and Wahoo! The faces have united at the perfect time because the House of Humperdink is looking to take over. Intriguing baby face matches as Mark gives Dusty a match but the Dream prevails. Mosca also gets a big with over Rufus. I have no doubt that we're all going to be for some big surprises here on Atlantic Coast Wrestling!

The fans in Birmingham got their money's worth tonight. Good seeing guys like Art Crews and Jessie Barr get some solid wins. Larry Hamilton will not be a happy camper as Rogers and Brenda cost him the Jr. Title. I'm sure Gilbert was thrilled. Rat Patrol get a big win over Sonny King's men. Once again Brenda distracts Olympia but it looks like Olympia has something up his sleeve. That 10 man elimination would of been awesome to watch. Ron Fuller is the sole survivor but everybody shined in this match. Wild main event as Flair gets some payback on Brody and then Hansen really gets some revenge as he takes Brody down! I bet Lawler will be happy to get out of Alabama.

Fun house shows. Fallen Angel debuts in the wild House of Humperdink stable! They're going to cause some chaos. Dusty and Wahoo team up for a win. I think it's only a matter of time before Dusty crosses paths with House of Humperdink. Valentine is on a roll of a lifetime with wins over Steamboat and Orndorff.

Oh man the non stop action continues in SECW! Love all the intrigue surrounding the AWA world title with Lawler, Hansen and Brody. Fullers/Golden- Fire and Flame feud continues to explode. Good job using the TV to hype up the cards. Rip Rogers quickly regains the Alabama title thanks to Gilbert and Brenda. I think Olympia will need some back up. Big win for Fullers and Golden as they get a satisfying submission win over Paul Jones Army. Wild match between Brody and JYD. Props to JYD for hanging in there with Brody. Crazy main event as the Paul Jones Army puts a beating on Hansen. Lawler thinks he gets a clean getaway until Brody puts him down. YES! It looks like we're heading into a Brody/Hansen feud! That's going to be insane!
