​MACW @ WTBS Studios TV (Recorded 6-11-86) Aired 6-14-86 Schiavone: ​Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. With me as always is my partner David Crockett. David, a lot going on as we head towards the Great American Bash. Crockett: You said it Tony. We will be hearing from the man who will face Nikita Koloff at the Bash for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, I'm talking about the Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol. Well, we know the rematch has been signed for the Bash as Tommy Rich will defend the Television title against Tom Prichard. Things just didn't work out well last week for Rock Riddle. Schiavone: No they didn't and we will be hearing from Tommy Rich and we will be seeing Tom Prichard in action today. Also in action will be a returning Bob Backlund, Tiger Jeet Singh, Corporal Kirchner, Jimmy Valiant, the Southern Ramblers and a big 6 man tag match as Hot Property and Sweet Brown Sugar take on the Assassins and the Cobra. Crockett: Superstar Billy Graham will be in the Mid Atlantic ring today. Also the Mid Atlantic Champ, Paul Orndorff will be wrestling as well as Hacksaw Jim Duggan! Should be a great night of action. Schiavone: Indeed it should be. Fans, before we get to the action, I want to bring out my guests, the tag team of Greatness, Billy Robinson and David Sammartino. Gentleman, it seems like you haven't been on the same page of late as you've dropped two straight matches to Rolling Thunder. What's going on? Sammartino: I really wish I knew Tony. I've been focused and training hard, so I know the problem isn't me. The fans start taunting Sammartino and he yells at them and tells them to shut up. Robinson: You see David, right there, you just showed everybody why we're not coming together as a unit. I took you on as a partner because I saw something in you and just thought you needed a bit of guidance. You just cant seem to stay focused and it's bringing this team down. I have no choice but to end this relationship. Sammartino: ​Oh is that right? That's typical of you, put the blame on everybody but yourself. You know Billy, you weren't such a great mentor and you're not that great of a wrestler. I would love to teach you a wrestling lesson. How about you and me have a match, in that ring, tonight? I'll show you just how focused I can be. Robinson: ​If that's what you want kid, fine by me. Schiavone: ​Certainly wasn't expecting that. Ok, later on we'll see David Sammartino squaring off against Billy Robinson. Fans, let's go to the ring. ​Bob Backlund vs. Vic DeMarco ​Backlund returns from his arm injury (courtesy of Brad Rheingans) and appears to haven't lost a step as he works over DeMarco with some solid amateur wrestling. He swings DeMarco to the ropes and back drops him. He picks DeMarco up and executes the Running Atomic Drop for the pin! Backlund cuts a promo on Rheingans and says they will be hooking up soon, so get ready for a wrestling lesson. Commercial Break ​Superstar Billy Graham vs. Carl Hillman ​Graham swings Hillman to the ropes and puts him down with a back elbow smash. Graham picks up Hillman and body slams him, then body slams him again. Graham swings Hillman to the ropes and clamps on the Bear Hug. Hillman has enough and submits. Graham flexes for the cheering fans and heads to the podium. Crockett: ​​Great to have the Superstar back. I understand you're here for a specific reason. Graham: ​David Crockett! The Superstar is back and feeling bad to the bone brother! I am here for a reason, actually I'm here for 10,000 reasons. That's right baby, I'm here for the 10,000 dollar challenge! This weekend in Norfolk, it's me and King Kong Bundy. JJ Dillon, I promise you brother, I'm taking that big man down and putting him through the ground! The fans boo as JJ Dillon walks out with the briefcase. JJ: ​With all due respect Mr. Graham, I would strongly advise you to reconsider this match and go back home. You were once an iconic figure in this industry but now you're just a broken down has been who should be in a retirement facility. This match is a joke and quite frankly Mr. Graham, you don't have a chance at winning this money. I seriously doubt you will even survive the match. So be a smart man, turn around and go home. (JJ arrogantly smiles) No shame in that. Graham: ​(contemplates a moment) Maybe you're right. Maybe the Superstar isn't as strong as he used to be. Why don't we shake hands and part as friends. JJ: ​You're a lot smarter than I thought. Ok, let's shake hands. Graham and JJ shake hands. JJ is still arrogantly smiling but that smile suddenly turns into a look of pain as Graham puts the squeeze on JJ. The briefcase falls as he starts screaming in pain. Graham: ​You feel that Dillon? Does it feel like I've lost my strength? JJ: ​(screaming) Please! Let go! Please! Graham pulls his hand away as JJ collapses in pain while holding his hand. Crockett: ​(Smiling and looking down at JJ) Wow! There you have it, straight from the Superstar. Will he get the 10,000 dollars? We'll find out this weekend in Norfolk. Lets go back to the ring. Crockett: ​JJ, you ok? ​​Southern Ramblers w/ Paul Jones vs. Aaron Arbuckle and Lloyd London ​Rich hammers away on London and swings him into the corner.

Commercial Break Schiavone: ​Fans, please welcome the new Television Champion, Tommy Wildfire Rich! The fans get up and cheer as Tommy Rich comes out with the TV title on his shoulder. Rich: ​Oh yea, these fans are fired up today! Speaking of fired up, Tommy Wildfire Rich is fired up as well! What better way to make a debut than to win this Television title here. Prichard and Riddle made the open challenge and Wildfire took that opportunity and ran with it. I want to thank all these great fans for their support and welcoming me in. I can guarantee everybody here that Tommy Rich will be a fighting champion and It's not in me to duck a challenge. Tom Prichard, you get your rematch at the Bash, but brother I don't plan on losing this title anytime soon! Schiavone: ​New Television champ, Tommy Wildfire Rich, lets go to the ring. ​​Corporal Kirchner vs. Alex Portman ​Kirchner parades around the ring, waving the American Flag and slapping hands with the fans. The bell rings and Kirchner blocks a punch by Portman and fires away on him, swings him to the ropes and back drops him then hits a standing leg drop. Kirchner hoists Portman up and drops him with the Fallaway Slam for the pin! Kirchner cuts a promo on his upcoming Bash match and says his partners the Rougeaus are more than ready for Kernodle and the Caspian Empire. Kernodle is a marked man and the Caspian Empire are just obstacles that will be knocked down. Commercial Break ​Tiger Jeet Singh vs. Gary Williams ​Singh storms the ring and just beats down Williams. Singh pounds and stomps away on Williams. Singh picks Williams up and hangs him upside down on the turnbuckles. Singh kicks away. The Ref tries to break it up but Singh pushes the Ref on the ground and continues to kick Williams. The Ref signals for the bell and disqualifies Singh. Singh doesn't care and takes Williams off the turnbuckles and throws him out of the ring. Singh picks up Williams and rams his head into the steel post, busting him open. Wrestlers run out to stop this. Singh starts punching the wrestlers, then storms over to the podium. Singh: ​I hope you were watching that Tony St. Clair! I told you, the blood of Antonio Inoki will be on your hands! I assure you, myself and Abdullah the Butcher will make both of you bleed and suffer! ​Commercial Break Crockett: ​Very disturbing message sent by Tiger Jeet Singh, I hope that young man Gary Williams will be ok. Fans, before we go to the ring, please welcome the man who will wrestle for the NWA World Title at the Great American Bash, Austin Idol. The fans cheer as Idol winks and gives them a right arm bicep pose. Crockett: ​Austin, you get a shot at the World Title. How do you feel about going up against the most dangerous man in the NWA, Nikita Koloff? Idol: ​No question about it, Nikita Koloff is a devastating force to be reckoned with. However, Austin Idol has been in there with the best wrestlers in the world. I've won many titles and won the Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup last year. I've been to the big dances and came out on top. I don't care how big and bad Nikita Koloff is, he has something I want very badly and that's the NWA World title baby and the Universal Heartthrob is coming to get it! ​Crockett: ​Should be an outstanding match up come July 2nd at the Great American Bash. Back to the ring. ​'Boogie Woogie Man' Jimmy Valiant vs. Dave Penson ​The fans cheer as Jimmy dances around the ring then punches away on Penson. He swings Penson to the ropes and back drops him. Jimmy swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop to get the pin! Valiant heads to the podium. Schiavone: ​Jimmy, it's you and Rip Oliver at the Bash. It looks like there's trouble in the Jones Army. Your thoughts? Valiant: ​Paul Jones problems don't concern me. What concerns me is a man hitting me with a cane. Oliver has done just that, so at the Great American Bash, Oliver is the task at hand and if Paul Jones wants to get involved, go ahead, because nothing makes me happier than punching his face! ​Commercial Break ​Billy Robinson vs. David Sammartino ​The bell rings and the fans really give it to David. David cant control himself as he yells and argues with the fans. Robinson just stands there and shakes his head. Finally Robinson walks over and swings David around and starts to lecture him. David doesn't want to listen and slaps Robinson. Robinson grins then hammers away on David with European uppercuts. Robinson swings David to the ropes and puts him down with a forearm smash. David staggers up and Robinson executes a belly to back suplex then quickly follows with a gut wrench suplex. He body slams David then picks him up and hits a side slam backbreaker. David is disoriented and rolling around in pain. Robinson picks David up and drops him with a Hangman's Neckbreaker. Robinson grabs David and hits a Double Underhook suplex for the pin! Robinson looks down at David and again shakes his head, then exits the ring. Commercial Break ​Mid Atlantic Champ 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff vs. Bill Richards ​Orndorff has the crowd cheering as he swings Richards to the ropes and hits a high knee. Orndorff swings off the ropes and hits a forearm drop. He picks up Richards and nails him with a short arm clothesline. The crowd roars as Orndorff makes the signal. He hoists Richards up and crashes him down with the Piledriver for the pin! Orndorff flexes to the cheering fans and heads to the podium. Crockett: ​Well Paul, its you and Harley Race, No disqualification for the Mid Atlantic Title at the Great American Bash. Last week, Harley had some choice words for you. ​Orndorff: ​I heard what he said. Let me tell you something Harley, this isn't your title anymore. It's mine! You and me, No DQ, which means I can piledrive you anywhere I damn well please. Don't think for one second, your taking this title from me. I beat you for it and I'm going to beat you again! ​Commercial Break ​'The Doctor of Desire' Tom Prichard w/ Rock Riddle vs. Roger Murphy ​Prichard isn't playing around this week as he swings Murphy hard into the turnbuckles.

Prichard covers 1..2..3! Riddle runs in and raises Prichard's arm to the booing crowd, then they head to the podium. Crockett: ​(smiling) Hey Rock, how's it going? Riddle: ​Oh Davey baby, I'm sure you're just loving this, aren't you? I'm surprised and disappointed at you. You have been my guy and the Agency always treated you with the upmost respect and what do we get in return? You laughing and having a grand ol time at Tom Prichard losing his TV title. Well guess what? The Agency's gem here isn't going to just sulk in defeat. You know Davey baby, a lot of movies open big at the box office then fizzle out. That is the reign Tommy Rich is going to have, because at the Great American Bash, Tom Prichard, a true box office smash, will regain his TV title! Prichard: ​That's exactly right! Tommy Rich, you don't have the star appeal or charisma to be Television Champion. Bottom line is, you're not on the A list baby and at the Great American Bash, I'm going to regain that title and regain my spot as the number one box office attraction in wrestling! ​Commercial Break ​Hot Property and Sweet Brown Sugar vs. The Assassins and Cobra w/ The Assassin ​The bell rings and a pier six brawl is on!

Rude and Fernandez raise Dibiase's arms in the air. The fans boo as the show ends.

The Guerreros awesome title reign comes to an end. Bock, Larry Z and Saito will be tough to beat. Cactus prevails over Sabu in another crazy match. This is one of those feuds where both men will come out stars. Patera and Blackwell have been looking strong lately. Jake is going full on heel, with his guidance, Nord could become a serious force. If Chris Adams is looking for allies, Ron Garvin is a good guy to have on your side. Tanaka and Pillman alone is worth the price of admission. The fans in San Fran get a nice surprise in Bam Bam Bigelow and get a great world title match. Looking forward to seeing where that goes.

Strong showing by DeBeers. Neighborhood of Evil continues their winning ways. Zenk is on such a roll here, I think it's only a matter of time before he's wearing gold. I'm loving the morphing of Leon White. It's only a matter of time now. Oh man, I'm sensing the Snake coming out in Jake. Adams is going to need some help real soon. How much more can Spivey take? However, he keeps beating the odds and running wild.

Fantastic promo by Borne. I really love his character here. The Adias/Karen date was hilarious, and topped off by Sunny throwing Adias into the Hot Dog Stand LOL. This could be a fun feud. The Kokina/OMG feud is really heating up. Kernodle is really in the head of Jacques. Cant wait until they meet one on one. Andre vs. Candido is a treat. Looks like Candido did alright against Andre. The SST end the show with a huge statement to the other tag teams. All this and Lawler is coming to town!

MACW Great American Bash 86 Update w/Bob Caudle ​Bob Caudle: ​Hello again everybody and welcome to another Great American Bash update. As you know the Great American Bash takes place in Charlotte NC in the Memorial Stadium on July 2nd. It should be a hot night of wrestling action with a fireworks show to follow. ​Well fans after everything that's gone down the past couple of weeks, all the matches at the Bash are now officially set. Austin Idol defeated Rob Fuller to earn an NWA World Title match against Nikita Koloff. We all saw the highlights of the tag team battle royal last week on TV. Los Infernales came out the winners and will get a US Tag Team title match at the Bash, taking on champs, Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley. After what transpired in Greensboro, Skandor Akbar demanded his man Haku get a rematch for the NWA National Title. Jimmy Snuka didn't hesitate to accept the challenge. We all witnessed Tom Prichard loose the TV Title last week, as Tommy Rich showed up to answer the open challenge. A rematch has been signed for the Bash. So there you have it fans, the title matches are set for the Bash. ​Fans I want to show you some footage from WCCW's Parade of Champions and what happened to The American Dream Dusty Rhodes. ​Footage is shown of Dusty's hard fought match against Stan Hansen, then the attack by the Freebirds. ​Bob Caudle: ​Obviously the Freebirds were out to collect the bounty put on the Dream's head by one Ted Dibiase. Dusty Rhodes is in the Hospital and is talking retirement. Will he show up at the Bash to face Stan Hansen? It looks like the odds are against it. I want to take to you to comments made by Stan Hansen, earlier this week. ​Stan Hansen: ​Dusty Rhodes! You're nothing but a spineless coward! While you're in the Hospital, crying and sulking, why don't you have the Doctors check out that long yellow streak down your back. I gave you the beating of your life at Parade of Champions and now you want to chicken out of our rematch at the Bash. You're gutless Rhodes! I'm showing up in Charlotte on July 2nd and I'm showing up to fight! If you have just an ounce of courage Rhodes, please show up so I can finish the job! ​Bob Caudle: ​Some very strong words from Stan Hansen. Fans, I've never seen Dusty Rhodes in this state of mind. I just don't know if he will make it on July 2nd. Fans, that's it for this week's update. Thanks for joining me and see you next time. ​Great American Bash 86, Charlotte NC Memorial Stadium 7-2-86 NWA World Heavyweight Title Bout ​Nikita Kolo​ff © vs. 'The Universal Heartthrob' Austin Idol ​US Title Bout- Steel Cage ​'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase © vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan ​US Tag Team Title Bout ​Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley © vs. Los Infernales ​Mid Atlantic Title Bout- NO DQ ​'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff © vs. Harley Race ​NWA National Title Bout ​'Superfly' Jimmy Snuka © vs. Haku w/ Skandor Akbar ​TV Title Bout ​Tommy 'Wildfire' Rich © vs. 'The Doctor of Desire' Tom Prichard w/ Rock Riddle ​'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes vs. Stan 'The Lariat' Hansen- ??? ​Corporal Kirchner/ Rougeau Brothers vs. Canadian International Champ Don Kernodle/Caspian Empire ​Tony St. Clair and Antonio​ Inoki vs. WWC Champ Abdullah the Butcher and Tiger Jeet Singh ​'Boogie Woogie Man' Jimmy Valiant vs. Rip Oliver w/ Paul Jones ​AND ​AWA World Heavyweight Championship Bout ​Ricky Steamboat © vs. Jerry Blackwell ​​​​​

Edger is right, never a dull moment in WCCW. I really love the way you incorporate what's going on behind the scenes. This will be very interesting.

Big win for Dr. D. Not many wrestlers can out brawl Stan Hansen. I give it up for Brito, he hung in there for 11 minutes against the Rougeaus. Adias's date with Karen should be interesting. Huge main event. Looks like Kernodle and OMG make quite a team as they almost take the Road Warriors to the limit.

Huge upset as Dundee and Douglas defeat Jake and Nord, man that's a big time win right there. The Guerreros are on quite then roll of late. This time Pillman gets the win over Burke. Tanaka is one of the best champions in the game right now. Despite being hurt, SpiveyMania beats the odds and successfully retains his title.

Guerreros get a big win over Snake Pit with some help from Chavo. Hmmmmm, a Snake Pit/Guerrero feud could be very interesting. Sabu picks up a great win over Jack. Slaughter and DeBeers continue their fun feud. Nice title defense for the Razor Boys as they beat the tough team of Saito and Larry Z. I could watch Steamboat and Orton go at it all day. I wonder who Piper has in mind to challenge Steamboat? I'm really hoping this all leads to a Steamboat/Piper showdown. That match would sell out arenas everywhere.

The chase finally pays off as British Steel wins the Southern titles. Great pay off! I continue to love the Burke/Pillman gem feud and like how they're trading wins. Patera and Blackwell get a huge win, taking advantage of Spivey's injury. I think Spivey's title reign is in jeopardy. Death Sentence and Sheepherders give the fans a hardcore brawl. This could turn into one bloody feud. Cool seeing Leon White morphing. Tanaka and Sano put on a clinic. Sawyer was on his A game tonight and I could imagine the selling by Steamboat. Great title defense for Steamboat as his roll continues.

Great follow up from Parade of Champions. Wow, the Freebirds really messed Dusty up both physically and mentally. Is this the end of the Dream??? Doesn't look like the Freebirds are going to enjoy the bounty money after all. Ladd and the Revolution make a huge statement and I'm sure will make a huge impact in WCCW. Love the fired up Garvin and Embry. Cant wait to see your Great American Bash lineup. Nikita/Kerry already gets my money. Freebirds are on a roll with a big win over JYD, Lawler and Olympia. What a monster of a team with Kamala and Beast. Kerry Von Erich is off to a hot start as champ with a strong win over Funk.

​MACW @ The Convention Center, Wheeling WV 6-8-86 ​Rolling Thunder vs. Greatness ​Greatness isn't happy about their TV loss to Rolling Thunder, so they attack them as the bell rings.

MACW @ WTBS Studios TV Aired 6-7-86 Schiavone: ​Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling. With me as always my partner David Crockett. David, we have a great show tonight as we will see highlights from the tag team battle royal that took place this past week in Roanoke VA. As you know the winning team will go on to face the US Champs, Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley on July 2nd at the Great American Bash. Crockett: That's right Tony. Lot's of action in the ring tonight. We heard the challenge last week, Tom Prichard is going to put up the TV title in an open challenge tonight.

Speaking of that, this weekend in Greensboro Dibiase, Rude and Fernandez will clash with Hacksaw Duggan and the Road Warriors. Let's hear what Ted Dibiase had to say, earlier this week from his home. ​Dibiase standing in front of a mansion Dibiase: ​(The laugh) I want all of you peons out there to take a good look at the mansion behind me. You see, when you have an extraordinary talent like myself, people pay me lots of money to use that talent. My talent is wrestling and because of my wrestling talent, I can afford a home like this. Most of you peons out there probably live in a shack or trailer and have no idea what I'm talking about, which is why I just cant relate to you minimum wage working Mid Atlantic grunts. Now Hacksaw Duggan is somebody I'm sure that can relate to you people. At the Great American Bash, I'm going to prove why I'm paid a lot more than he is when I put him down for good inside the steel cage. First things first, this Saturday Night in Greensboro we have a 6 man tag match. Duggan might of gone out and got the NWA World Champs, the Road Warriors, but Duggan you fool, I have the best team money can buy. Rick Rude and Manny Fernandez will prove that in Greensboro when they send the Road Warriors running with their tails between their legs. When that's over and done with, I go onto the Bash and get rid of you once and for all Duggan!

I'll tell you one thing, Idol will show up in Greensboro. Speaking of Greensboro, Jimmy Snuka was set to defend the National Title against Bruiser Brody but due to booking conflicts, Brody will not be able to make it.

The matches announced for Showdown at Shea would already get my money. You know it's a stacked card when a tornado match and stretcher match are not even the main events. Windham and Savage will put on another spectacle and that 6 man tag main event will be epic.

The fans in Appleton got a huge show. I bet a lot of people were turned away as that HS must of been packed. Leduc and Garvin must of been an all out slugfest. Great segment with Adias and Sunny. Jacques and Orton would of been my money match. I also loved the Martel/Zenk match. Rare loss for Zenk. Tommy Lane is one tough dude, taking Kokina to a draw inside the cage. Rougeaus get a big win over Brito and Andre. Fun seeing the wackiness of the Borne character.

Leon White showing some serious aggression. The Neighborhood of Evil is the perfect name for Sullivan's stable. I would pay a lot of money to watch a Death Sentence/Sheepherders match. Regal hands Cameron his first loss. I'm sure Cameron will be gunning for him in their upcoming tag match. Looks like Adnan has his sights set on Garvin. SpiveyMania continues to run wild but the injuries are mounting up.

MACW Great American Bash 86 Update w/Bob Caudle Bob Caudle: ​Hello everybody and welcome to another Great American Bash update. As you know Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling will present it's Great American Bash event on July 2nd in Charlotte, NC at the Memorial Stadium. It should be a tremendous night of action. 'The Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase will defend the United States Title against Hacksaw Jim Duggan, inside a steel cage! Newly crowned NWA World Champion Nikita Koloff will defend his title against the winner of the upcoming match between Austin Idol and Rob Fuller, that match will take place on June 7th in Greensboro. ​US tag team champions, Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley will defend their titles against the winners of the upcoming tag team battle royal. The battle royal will happen this week in Roanoke, VA. Highlights of that battle royal will be shown on the next televised edition of MACW. ​In what should be a wild match, The American Dream Dusty Rhodes clashes with Stan The Lariat Hansen. As you know, Ted Dibiase has put a bounty on Dusty Rhodes, and I know Stan Hansen is coming to collect. ​Last week, the battle lines were drawn and this match is set. Canadian International Champ Don Kernodle and the Caspian Empire will take on Corporal Kirchner and his allies, Jacques and Raymond Rougeau. A lot of history and hatred between all those involved. ​'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff defends the Mid Atlantic title against former champ Harley Race, in a No Disqualification Match. This has been one heated rivalry and I can only hope this match will settle things once and for all. ​Just announced, Rip Oliver accompanied by Paul Jones will take on the Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant. Paul Jones says he will not rest until he rids Mid Atlantic of Jimmy Valiant. ​As you all know, Tony St. Clair has issued a challenge to Abdullah the Butcher and Tiger Jeet Singh. Tony says he has the perfect partner. Well fans, we don't have to wait any longer. Let's take you to Tony St. Clair and find out who his partner will be. ​In a Locker Room St. Clair: ​Abdullah and Singh! You gave me a pretty good beating but I'm back and ready to go! I have found a partner who will stand by my side and fight with me. Oh, he's a man that both of you know very well. My partner at the Great American Bash will be the legend himself...Antonio Inoki! ​​Back in the Control Center Bob Caudle: ​My goodness! I don't think Tony St. Clair could of chose a better partner. That should be one barnburner of a match. I cant wait for Abdullah and Singh to respond to this. Unbelievable! Fans, we also know Jimmy Snuka will defend the NWA National Title and Tom Prichard will defend the TV title. I will officially announce their opponents next week. As if that wasn't enough, I have one more blockbuster announcement. At the Great American Bash, we will have a very special AWA showcase match. Ricky Steamboat will defend the AWA World Title against Jerry Blackwell! Mid Atlantic is very excited and pleased to present this match to our great fans. The Great American Bash is shaping up to be one historic event. Don't forget to stick around for the fireworks show afterwards. Fans, I'll see you next week. ​Great American Bash 86, Charlotte NC, Memorial Stadium 7-2-86 ​NWA World Title Bout ​Nikita Koloff © vs. Austin Idol or Rob Fuller ​United States Title Bout- Steel Cage ​'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase © vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan ​US Tag Team Title Bout ​Rocky Johnson and Wendell Cooley © vs. Winners of the Tag Team Battle Royal ​Mid Atlantic Title Bout- NO DQ ​'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff © vs. Harley Race 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes vs. Stan 'The Lariat' Hansen Corporal Kirchner/Rougeau Brothers vs. Canadian International Champ Don Kernodle/Caspian Empire Tony St. Clair and Antonio Inoki vs. WWC Champ Abdullah the Butcher and Tiger Jeet Singh 'Boogie Woogie Man' Jimmy Valiant vs. Rip Oliver w/Paul Jones NWA National Title Bout MACW TV Title Bout And ​AWA World Title Bout Ricky Steamboat © vs. Jerry Blackwell

You nailed that promo with Ivan Koloff, that's exactly how I remember him talking. Magnum, Ole and Baba are taking on everybody, leading to all sorts of great angles. I like seeing a fired up Brad Armstrong. I'm intrigued by the Nikita/Baba match coming up. I wonder if Nikita will be able to take Baba down with the sickle. Wright's Army is looking pretty strong. Awesome ending with Bullet Bob coming out.

Life happens Rain, looking forward to your next show.

I've said this before but I love your house shows because they're so different and I mean that in a good way. Where else could we see Gino Brito teaming with the Ultimate Warrior? That Borne/OMG match must of been one hard hitting brawl. Satanico bounces back from a loss and wins the battle royal. Southern Ramblers looked like they hung in there for a bit against the Road Warriors. I might have to do a rematch in Mid Atlantic. I think Adidas could do pretty well in Lutte.

Oh Wow! What a way to end the show! Did not see Adonis coming in. This is huge! Honky Tonk is in full guitar swinging mode now. I love this build towards Lawler. I agree, I think Missy might of bitten of more than she can chew, messing with Baby Doll. Tatum and Landell led by Johnny V, could lead to gold. Seeds are planted for the Great American Bash between RnR, Taylor, The Midnights and Slater.
