Lot's going on in UWF. Great set up with Duggan and Williams. I'm sure Slater will call the match right down the middle LOL. Rip Oliver better watch out with Murdoch coming after him. Chaotic scene with Abdullah butchering Scott Hall and then Blackjack comes to the rescue. Blackjack and Abdullah will be a bloody mess. The Texas Tornados are becoming one of my favorite young teams. The scene at the end with Hansen laid out really shows Nikita as an unstoppable monster. You just don't see Hansen laid out that often. That was a huge statement. Excellent job!

Wild show tonight in Texas! What a great debut of Jimmy Jack Funk, loved the showdown between him and his chair against Leatherface and his chainsaw! The tag team gauntlet was a lot of fun with the crowd favorite Von Erich's winning it. The Steiners had a strong showing there. Dundee and Street looked pretty good as well. Crazy match between Dr. D and Dutch. I cant imagine what Dr. D and Bad News are going to do to each other. Martel with a strong title defense. And yes, Kamala literally makes a huge splash, make that 3 splashes on Kerry. Gary Hart and Kamala are such a good fit in Texas.

MACW @ Memorial Auditorium, Greenville, SC, 2-15-86 'Cowboy' Scott Casey vs. Nick Kiniski Fun fast pace opener that ends in a 10 minute draw. Wendell Cooley vs. Terry Gibbs Gibbs gets in some hard hitting offense but Wendell gets the pin with the Oklahoma Stampede! Billy Robinson vs. Chris Youngblood Youngblood gets in some high energy offense but the experience of Robinson was to much for him to handle. Robinson took Youngblood down with various takedowns. Robinson then punished Youngblood with European uppercuts and forearm smashes. He then followed with a gut wrench suplex and a belly to back suplex for the pin! Mid Atlantic champ Harley Race and 'The Great One' David Sammartino vs. Wahoo McDaniel and Ivan 'Polish Power' Putski This was a hard hitting stiff match up. Sammartino did a great job of avoiding Putski except when Harley got control then he was more than willing to tag in and take his shots. Wahoo and Harley had a few good exchanges. Harley gained control and tagged in Sammartino. It wasn't long before Wahoo took control and made the tag to Putski. Putski just unleashed on Sammartino. In the end Sammartino tried to run out of the ring but Wahoo nailed him with a big chop. Harley went over and punched Wahoo. As Harley and Wahoo started exchanging blows, Sammartino staggered right into a Polish Hammer by Putski for the pin! Corporal Kirchner vs. Alexis Smirnoff Smirnoff obviously still upset over Kirchner sending his partner packing went right after Kirchner. These two brawled all over the ring then took it to the outside and kept on fighting. The Ref ends up counting both men out. The bell rings several times but they just kept fighting. Rocky Johnson vs. Bob Roop Another hard hitting match up. Roop works over Johnson with some aggressive wrestling and targets the shoulder. Johnson makes a comeback with a series of hip tosses and dropkicks. Roop comes back and continues to work the shoulder. He goes for the Shoulder Breaker but Johnson fights his way out of it and cradles Roop for the quick pin! Roop attacks Johnson after the match and hits the Shoulder Breaker! US Champ Magnum TA and the Rock n Roll Express vs. NWA Tag Team Champs The Andersons and Tully Blanchard w/JJ Dillon This was a great return match from their TV main event. The crowd went absolutely nuts as Magnum and the Express controlled the early part of the match. A flying knee to Gibson's back by Ole Anderson followed by a spinebuster from Arn put them in control. Tully followed with several elbow drops on Gibson. After minutes of control Gibson made the hot tag to Morton who drop kicked everybody in sight, including JJ Dillon on the apron. Morton had Arn up but Tully jumped off the top rope with a double axehandle to the back of his head. The Andersons and Tully worked over Morton in the corner. After a few times, Magnum and Gibson were fed up and charged in. All 6 men were brawling. Magnum swings Tully to the ropes and picks him up for the Gorilla Press and Slam! The Ref runs over and tells Magnum he's not the legal man. As the Andersons and Express were fighting, JJ Dillon grabbed a chair and hit Morton in the arm. The Ref guides Magnum and Gibson to the corner. Arn grabs Morton's arm as Ole jumps off the top rope with a flying knee to Morton's arm. Arn covers as the Ref turns around to count 1..2..3! Tully and the Andersons continue to stomp on Morton's arm, JJ even takes his shots. Magnum and Gibson run over and clean house. Magnum grabs JJ by his jacket and pulls him back. Magnum swings JJ to the ropes and hits the belly to belly suplex as the fans go nuts!

Man sorry about this, could MACW change Brody's date from March 8th to March 11th?

I agree, Rain has done an amazing job with the AWA. I love the back scene look he gives us with the Vets training the young guys. The thought process here is genius and like Gene said, if this was going on IRL, the AWA would of been a major force in the 80s. Rain does such an incredible job of building young talent that when they leave for other territories down the road, they're over and established.

I loved this show. So many things being set up. I agree with Gordi, Sting and the Tonga Kid is such a fun pairing in this era. Good job putting them together. Savage and Windham is going to be a war! Liked the simplicity of the Valentine/Bravo set up. Also enjoyed the Tito/Nikolai match with Hercules and Bull getting involved. And Wow, Dibiase puts it all on the line at WrestleMania. The stakes are at its highest.

Glad Baron found a good place to go.

MACW drops Baron Von Raschke and picks up Don Kernodle from UWF.

Man what an exciting show! The Leatherface payoff was great and new tag champs. Dr. D is on fire here. Nice to see him get the spotlight he deserves. Martel and Studd should be a good one. A lot of potential big money title defenses for Martel in Texas .That tag team gauntlet match looks like it's going to be chaotic fun. The Texas Dream Dirty Rhodes is hilarious. I also like the Iceman/Hot Stuff feud going on. Cant wait for the Amarillo card!

Always something going on in Lutte. That 8 man tag was off the charts. Loved the Brito/Rogers match. Big turn on Satanico, should lead to some interesting things. The Adonis/Khan match was crazy, I'm hoping for more. Always cool to see the Von Erich's here.

MACW @ WTBS Studio TV aired 2-15-86 (This show was recorded before the official announcement of the Martel vs. Gordy NWA World Title Bout at Battle of the Belts) Schiavone: Hello again everybody and welcome to another edition of Mid Atlantic Championship wrestling, with me as always is David Crockett. Crockett: Thank you Tony, a lot going on as we get closer to the Battle of the Belts card on February 22nd. In action tonight will be Wahoo McDaniel as he prepares for his Mid Atlantic title match against Harley Race. Also in action will be Rocky Johnson, Ivan Putski, Bob Roop, the Renegade Warriors and our big Loser Leaves Mid Atlantic match between Baron Von Raschke and Corporal Kirchner. Schiavone: Big night of action indeed, we will also show you footage from the Scope as a lot of things went down. Also in the ring will be Billy Robinson and don't forget the much anticipated debut of the Assassins. Right now fans, please welcome the United States Champion, Magnum TA. The fans roar as Magnum walks out with the US title on his shoulder. Magnum: Thank you very much Tony. I'll get right to the point. Last week the so called 4 Horseman jumped me and held me while that sorry excuse for a man, Ric Flair slapped me around. They all know that none of them can handle me one on one. I beat Tully in the cage at Starrcade. I've beaten both of the Anderson's and at the Battle of the Belts, Ric Flair is next! The fans boo as JJ Dillon leads out Tully Blanchard and the Andersons. Tully: Out here crying again aren't you Magnum. Well, we've come out to shut you up. Magnum: Oh that's right, Flair isn't here tonight so he sends his 3 stooges out to do his dirty work. You boys want a fight, you got one! Magnum hits Tully but the Andersons attack Magnum. The fans cheer as the Rock n Roll Express run out and start hammering away on the Andersons while Magnum regroups and unloads on Tully. They fight the Horsemen off and Magnum grabs the mic. Magnum: Like I said, you stooges want a fight? Well, I have friends too. So tonight let's have a fight inside the ring. The three of you versus the three of us! The Horsemen are irate and say "It's on" Commercial Break Schiavone: Oh my, ok it's been made official, US champ, Magnum TA and the Rock n Roll Express will take on Tully Blanchard and the NWA Tag Team Champions, the Anderson's, here tonight! Crockett: Tony, that is going to be one heck of a main event! Well, lets go to the ring. Rocky Johnson vs. Lou Simms Even though he has a sore shoulder courtesy of Bob Roop, Rocky is on fire tonight. He executes a back breaker on Simms then rolls him over in the Boston Crab to get the victory. Rocky heads to the podium. Crockett: Great win tonight Rocky, it seems that one Bob Roop has some issues with you. Rocky: Hey, I don't know what Roop's problem is but he picked a fight with the wrong guy. Roop, if you want more of me, then come on and get it! Crockett: Ok, straight to the point. Fans back to the ring. Billy Robinson vs. Tim Straw The fans really let Robinson have it here. This only angers Robinson as he takes it out on Straw with devastating European uppercuts. After punishing him for awhile Robinson puts him out of his misery with a double underhook suplex for the pin. Robinson storms to the podium as the fans boo. Robinson: Sounds to me these people need to be taught some manners. That's exactly what I'm going to teach to Tony St. Clair at the Battle of the Belts. He is making a mockery of the UK with this pampered style and treatment he's getting. I'm here in Mid Atlantic to show everybody what British wrestling is all about and everybody will witness just that when I put that cheap imitation down at the Battle of the Belts! Commercial Break Schiavone: Right now fans, we want to take you to the footage from the Scope. First lets show you the ending to the Johnny Rich/Brett Sawyer match, followed by the conclusion to that 8 man tag match. Footage from the Scope Rch and Sawyer are laid out and bleeding profusely when Paul Jones runs in and sticks brass knuckles in the hand of Johnny Rich. Rich ends up using them to win the match. In the 8 man tag, Jimmy Snuka bodyslams Kamala then head butts him out of the ring. Spike Huber powerslams Missing Link and Snuka leaps off the top rope and finishes Link off with the Superfly Splash, giving him, Huber and Hot Property the victory. Back Live Schiavone: Joining me right now is 'Number One' Paul Jones. Well Paul very interesting night you had at the Scope. Jones: Let me tell you something Schiavone, things are going great for my army. I was given a vast some of money from my dear old friend Gary Hart for the services of Kamala and the Missing Link. With that money I can rebuild the army. As you know, I already have the most devastating team in Mid Atlantic, the Devil's Duo and now I have purchased the contract of a man who will no doubt take the army to the highest heights. Please welcome my newest acquisition, Johnny Rich. Rich walks out smiling and shakes Paul's hand. Rich: Paul, it is my honor to be standing here with you and to be a part of your top notch army. You see Schiavone, I told you last week, I was here to make money, win titles and rid the wrestling world of Brett Sawyer. Well, this man is going to make me a whole lot of money, followed by the titles, and after that whipp'n I put on Sawyer at the Scope (Laughs) well we wont be seeing that 2nd rate loser anymore. Jones: Schiavone, this is only the beginning because I still have one more lucky spot to fill. Schiavone: (shaking his head) there you have it fans, ok lets go to the ring as the legendary Wahoo McDaniel is set for action. Wahoo McDaniel vs. Alex Portman Wahoo finishes Portman off with an overhead chop as the crowd cheers. Wahoo heads to the podium. Crockett: Great to have you here Wahoo. You look ready for your big match with Harley at the Battle of the Belts. Wahoo: Thank you David, you know Harley is looking at me as a stepping stone. Harley, you of all people should know I'm not anybody's stepping stone. I've got a championship run left in me and right now a Mid Atlantic championship run sounds pretty good. Get ready Harley because I am. Commercial Break Schiavone: Please welcome the Assassin. Assassin: Tony Schaivone, remember this day because today is when the havoc begins. Let me introduce to you, the Assassins. The Assassins head into the ring, wearing the iconic masks, black spandex pants and no shirts, which shows off their impressive physiques. Assassins w/The Assassin vs. Ken Jenkins and Brad Kimber The Assassins waste no time in beating down their opponents. They work them over with body slams, knee drops, elbows, eye raking, choking and hard hitting double teaming. The end comes when Assassin 1 picks up Jenkins in a bearhug then falls back and slams Jenkin's head on the top turnbuckle. Assassin 1 tags in Assassin 2, who jumps off the top rope and crashes down with a knee drop across Jenkin's head for the pin! Schiavone: Very impressive debut for the Assassins. Fans, with me right now is the Television champ, Terry Taylor. Well, Terry it's official, you will be defending that title against the Doctor of Desire Tom Prichard at the Battle of the Belts card. Taylor: Ok Tom, you got my attention and that's not good for you. You and your manager Rock Riddle seem to think this title is as good as yours. Think again. I've been defending this prestigious title day in and day out and like I promised, no short cuts, just ability. That's the difference between you and I. You think you can take short cuts and cheap shots and win this title but brother sooner or later ability prevails and at Battle of the Belts, I will prove just that. Commercial Break Ivan Putski vs. Roger Murphy Putski completely overpowers Murphy in this match and finishes him off with the Polish Hammer for the pin! Putski is flexing for the crowd when David Sammartino runs in and levels him from behind with a clothesline! Sammartino stomps away on Putski and mocks him by flexing. Sammartino throws Putski outside the ring, he goes out and puts Putski in a bearhug then rams him into the steel post. He drops Putski then gives him another kick before leaving. Commercial Break Crockett: What a despicable act by David Sammartino and of course he doesn't ever do this face to face. He better be ready because I'm sure Ivan Putski will be coming after him with a vengeance. Ok joining me now is Rock Riddle and his Fabulous Blondes, Ken Timbs and Art Crews. Riddle: Hey hey hey Davey baby, it's been awhile. How are you? Never mind, I don't really care. However things are a little up and down for the Agency. On the upside, regardless of what Mr. Taylor thinks, Tom Prichard, the Doctor of Desire himself will be the TV champion come the Battle of the Belts. Now for the downside. The huge Crockett Cup is on the horizon. 1 million dollars and the National Tag Team Titles go to the winners. Now, I would be out here saying it's a no brainer that my Fabulous Blondes would take those prizes but wait a minute, they didn't get an invite! That is outrageous, ludicrous and a down right slap in the face! What's even worse is that B level team, the Nightmares are in. The Nightmares? Timbs: Yea, you mean that team we dismantled in the ring a few weeks ago? Crews: That team that hasn't been seen since! Crockett: Well if memory serves I believe the Nightmares won that match. Riddle: Oh now we're playing the semantics game are we Davey Baby? Here's the deal, if that B level team ever decides to show their ugly faces here again, my A list Agency, The Fabulous Blondes want a match with their tournament spot on the line! I think it's only fair. Now your last name is Crockett so make this match happen, you got it! Riddle and the Blondes head out. Crockett: Well that's up to the Nightmares, as a Crockett, I think the Nightmares earned that spot and don't have to prove anything to the Agency. Lets go to the ring. Renegade Warriors vs. Gary Williams and Steve Ramsey Chris Youngblood swings Williams into the turnbuckles then follows with a running knee in the corner. Chris tags in Mark. Chris bodyslams Williams and Mark hits the sling shot splash for the pin! Schiavone: Good win tonight for the Renegade Warriors. Coming up next is the big loser leaves Mid Atlantic match. Now I know you guys will be watching this match very carefully. Mark: You got that right Tony. Kirchner has been a great friend of ours and I know the Bolshevik Revolution has gotten under his skin, ours as well, which has caused some dissention, but we're out here to say good luck to our friend and we know he'll be standing tall when this is over. Schiavone: That match is next! Commercial Break Loser Leaves Mid Atlantic Corporal Kirchner vs. Baron Von Raschke w/Alexis Smirnoff The fans go wild as the Ref tells Smirnoff he needs to go to the back. Baron is livid but Smirnoff calms him down and leaves without an argument. The bell rings and the two start hammering away on each other. Baron gets control with an eye rake. Baron follows with a bodyslam and knee drop but doesn't put Kirchner away. Baron yells at the Ref but maintains control. He stomps on Kirchner's head then applies the claw! Baron is squeezing tight as Kirchner flails and tries to fight it. The fans are chanting USA USA! Kirchner grabs Baron's wrist with both hands and stands up then kicks Baron in the mid section a few times and breaks the hold! Kirchner slams Baron and regroups. Kirchner body slams Baron several times and shakes his fists. Baron stops the momentum with an eye gouge. Baron picks up Kirchner but Kirchner fights out of it, picks up Baron and hits the Fallaway Slam out of nowhere for the pin! Kirchner is on his knees as Alexis Smirnoff runs in and starts stomping on Kirchner. The fans roar as Don Kernodle runs into the ring and starts pounding away on Smirnoff! Kernodle wallops Smirnoff out of the ring. Baron just rolls out and onto the outside. Kernodle helps Kirchner up. Kirchner cant believe it. They embrace and Kernodle holds up Kirchner's arm to the cheering crowd. Commercial Break Schiavone: Wow what a match. Baron is out of Mid Atlantic but it looks like the 'Pride of the USA' Don Kernodle is back in Mid Atlantic! Unbelievable. Before we go back to the ring, just a reminder the Battle of the Belts card comes to you on February 22nd in Orlando. Not long after that the Crockett Cup will come to you from the SuperDome in New Orleans. The winning team will get the 1 million dollar purse and also be crowned the NWA National Tag Team Champions. Representing Mid Atlantic will be the Nightmares, the Soul Patrol and the United States Tag Champs, the Stud Stable. We will hear from those teams next week. Bob Roop vs. Larry O'Meara Roop punishes O'Meara the entire match and puts him down with the Shoulder Breaker! Roop is yelling at the fans when Rocky Johnson hits the ring. Johnson swings Roop around and their eye to eye. Johnson is telling Roop "I'm standing here" Roop walks away but turns around and tries to suckerpunch him. Johnson blocks it and pounds away on Roop. Johnson shuffles his feet and nails Roop with a punch that floors him. Johnson picks up Roop and bodyslams him down. The crowd roars as Johnson raises his fists to them. Commercial Break Spike Huber vs. Louis Campos Huber swings Campos to the ropes and finishes him off with the Powerslam! Crockett: Spike Huber continues to impress. Fans when we come back it's going to be main event time, you wont want to miss this one! Commercial Break US Champ Magnum TA and the Rock n Roll Express vs. Tully Blanchard and NWA Tag Champs Ole and Arn Anderson w/JJ Dillon This is a wild one from start to finish. Magnum and The Express have the fans standing as they control the early portion of the match with quick tags and explosive high flying offense. The Express frustrate the Andersons with double hip tosses and somersaults followed by a double punch. Magnum Gorilla Presses Tully and slams him down! The Horsemen finally get control and work over Morton. Ole drops several knees on Morton's arm and Arn follows with a knee drop off the 2nd rope. Tully comes in and suplexes Morton and covers 1..2..Gibson runs in and breaks the count. Pretty soon a pier six brawl breaks out and everybody is going at it. The Ref gets caught up in it and gets knocked down. JJ is on the outside and grabs a chair and heads towards the ring. The crowd screams as Michael Hayes runs out!!!! Michael levels JJ! Michael runs into the ring and grabs Tully then puts him down with the DDT! Michael books out of there. Magnum covers Tully as the RR Express are fighting the Andersons. The Ref crawls over 1..2..3! Schiavone: Oh my! I cant believe it! Michael Hayes out of nowhere! Incredible! Fans, we got to go!

Action packed show tonight! Flair and Lawler will be awesome. Luger/Reed has been one hot program and now we get to see the climax inside the cage. Oliver and Landel humiliate Smothers, no doubt Smothers will be looking for some serious payback. I think this is a nice gem of a feud. I also like the Long Riders/Rich and Armstrong story. Bob's "You better pray we don't send the Long Riders to an early grave" comment was one of the best lines I've heard on here. All this and Slater vs. JYD in a collar match! Great stuff.

Oh man didn't see the Windham turn coming! What a great night of action. Hennig really made a name for himself tonight. After the "perfect fit" comment, I thought for sure he was the one going with Heenan LOL. The tournament was so much fun, loved every minute of it. I also enjoyed the Fabs/Bulldogs match and Hart Foundation/Mercs encounter. The tag team division is hot right now. Speaking of tag matches, great main event and a perfect set up for WrestleMania.

Spivey with a huge win! His bouts with Steamboat showed he was a player. This win over Slaughter makes him a force. Great job with his build. The Varsity Rush continues to look strong. I liked the Mando/Perez match. A draw just shows how evenly matched they are. Rose and Sommers continue their impressive reign. Steamboat's win over Patera shows he's ready for his World Title match.

Wow a lot happening in Lutte! Martel vs. Gordy at Battle of the Belts! Paul E. was great tonight. Adonis/Benoit should be very interesting. The arrival of Killer Khan! That could only mean trouble. The Freebirds are on fire! I would love to see the Long Riders and Vachons go at it. LOL the Stud Stable have a lot of guts to keep messing with Tonga.

Nice series here! Putting Finley and Cameron together is genius. Love these Sawyer/Cactus matches. I think Leon White is going to get way over with the fans. Larry Z better start focusing on his matches LOL. Awesome Tag Title match with Rose and Sommers going to a draw with the Rougeaus. Then they defend against Slaughter and Dream, what a week for the champs. That Scorpio/Pillman match would of been fun to watch. Oh man it's on, Steamboat gets his long awaited title match with Orndorff. That should be a good one.

Fun card here with some intriguing match ups. I like the Matt Borne walk out, could set up something good with the Harts. The 6 man tag would of given me my money's worth. Candido scores a huge win over Fuller. Rick Martel continues his winning ways as champion.

I really enjoy this. It's such a creative way to showcase talent. Great start in the tournament. Douglas gets the classic 1st round upset over Black Bart. I liked the main event. Benoit and the Light Heavyweight championship are getting some good spotlight.

Fantastics earned their shot with a strong win. Ron Simmons looked great here and Hara really helped put him over with the Japanese crowd. The Rumble was great! Action packed and full of great brawling. I agree, glad to see Jumbo win it. I think he needed it.

Yea, I had Flair for a Loop before he goes back for some bookings in the UWF, so I put him in a one off against Taylor. I figured this would help elevate Taylor a bit and also put more heat between Taylor and Prichard. When Flair gets back from the UWF, I'm going to really turn up the Flair/Magnum program heading into Battle of the Belts. I also made a subtle point on this card. Magnum was also on the card but the other Horsemen weren't. With Magnum and the Rock n Roll Express there, Flair wasn't going to try anything LOL.

Oh man sorry guys, I meant to clarify that the Flair/Taylor match was a Non Title match.

MACW @ The Civic Center, Richmond, VA 2-11-86 Tom Prichard w/Rock Riddle vs. Art Arbuckle Pure showcase for Prichard. Prichard places Arbuckle up on the top turnbuckles. Prichard climbs to the 2nd turnbuckle, grabs Arbuckle and finishes him off with a superplex! 'Wildcat' Wendell Cooley vs. Terry Gibbs New arrival Cooley gets some good pops tonight. He hoists Gibbs up on his shoulder and runs forward then drops him with the Oklahoma Stampede for the pin! Billy Robinson vs. Kelly Kiniski Robinson gets plenty of boos tonight. Kiniski hung in there for a bit but Robinson stopped his momentum with a running forearm smash. Robinson proceeded to punish him with European uppercuts. Robinson followed with a variety of suplexes and it was the Double Arm suplex that put Kiniski away! Bolshevik Revolution vs. Corporal Kirchner and Chris Youngblood Another good fight between the two feuding sides. Smirnoff and Raschke had another miscue but managed to regain control. After all four men were brawling, the Ref was guiding Kirchner back to his corner, allowing Raschke to pull out a foreign object from his tights. Raschke nails Youngblood from behind. Smirnoff follows with a knee drop for the pin! After the match a clearly upset Kirchner left the ring without helping his partner. Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka vs. Jeff Sword w/Paul Jones Sword broke all the rules but it wasn't enough. Jones gets up on the apron but a head butt from Snuka knocked him out. Snuka body slams Sword then climbs to the top ropes and leaps off with the Superfly Splash for the pin! Huge pop for the splash. Mid Atlantic Champ Harley Race and Bob Roop vs. Rocky Johnson and Pedro Morales Pretty good match between 4 ring veterans. In the end Roop and Johnson were hammering away on each other, Race runs in when Johnson starts to get the upper hand, which brought Morales in. Morales hits Race and it sends him back into the turnbuckles. As Morales is heading back to his corner, Race nails him with a clothesline from behind. As Roop and Johnson are still fighting, Race hits Johnson's shoulder from behind with a running knee. Roop picks up Johnson and hits the Shoulder Breaker for the pin! Ivan 'Polish Power' Putski vs. 'The Great One' David Sammartino Putski gets the crowd going as he overpowers David and hits him with several body slams. David gets control with an eye rake. David kicks and stomps away on Putski then swings him to the ropes and hits him with a running shoulder block. David gets frustrated when he cant put Putski away. David starts choking Putski and doesn't release at the Ref's count. The Ref has enough and signals for the Disqualification. The bell keeps ringing as David keeps choking. The fans boos turn to cheers as Pedro Morales runs to the ring. He grabs David by his hair and wallops away on him. Morales winds up and punches him, which sends David flying through the ropes. Pedro tends to Putski then runs out, grabs David and throws him back in the ring. Putski gets up, swings David to the ropes and hits him with the Polish Hammer as the crowd goes nuts! Putski kneels over to catch his breath as Morales checks on him. Ric Flair vs. TV Champ Terry Taylor These two give the fans their money's worth tonight. Good chain wrestling for the first part but after Flair's temper gets the best of him, he eye gouges Taylor. Flair controls a good portion of the match, working on Taylor's leg. Taylor mounts a comeback, swings Flair to the turnbuckles in which Flair flips up and over onto the apron. Flair gets up and Taylor knocks him down with a forearm blast! After a few minutes Taylor puts Flair in the Scorpion hold. The crowd is sensing an upset here. Flair is shaking his head and yelling in pain. The crowd boos as Tom Prichard and Rock Riddle come out and walk around the ring. Prichard gets up on the apron and distracts Taylor enough for him to break the hold. Prichard hops down and continues yelling at Taylor allowing Flair enough time to regroup and clip Taylor's knee from behind. Prichard and Riddle head to the back. Flair works Taylor over for the next few minutes, then drops him with a Shin Buster. Flair wraps Taylor up in the figure four and gets the win! Magnum TA and the Rock n Roll Express vs. US Tag Champs The Stud Stable (Fullers and Golden) This one was a barn burner! TA and the Express dominate the early portion as they're speed and quick tags keep the Stable off balanced. The Stable get control and work over Gibson in their corner. The crowd goes insane when Gibson makes the hot tag to Morton. Morton cleans house but the Stable regains control when Jimmy Golden clocks Morton from behind. The Stable use their cheating ways on Morton until TA and Gibson have enough and run over with fists flying. Pier six brawl happens! After the Ref gets control, not more than 30 seconds pass when all 6 men are brawling again. The Rock n Roll Express double drop kick both Fullers out of the ring. Magnum swings Golden to the ropes and hits him with the belly to belly suplex for the win! The crowd goes nuts!

Man, Slater was everywhere tonight. I'm sure he's getting a pretty penny for his services. Loving the Armstrong's/Wright Army feud. The Texas Tornados continue to impress. That Koloffs/Brody, Hansen match was off the charts! I mentioned this before but it's great seeing Tommy Rich in the Omni. Looks like it's only a matter of time before Luger gets that Southern States title. Wow, the next morning will be worse than any hangover Scott Hall ever had. That Martel/Lawler match delivered, I'm sure the fans were into that one.

Fun TV show. Gino getting the 10 bell salute was so fitting in Texas. I couldn't wait to see the Shultz/Embry interaction and of course it cracked me up. The "My mother drove me to school" line had me rolling. Mantell sends Idol packing. The Steiners with another big win over the Fantastics. Bad News for Embry and Shultz. The Sam Houston card was great. What a dream match between the Andersons and Funks. Dundee and Street pull off an impressive win against the Moondogs. Kokina is proving to be a monster on the rise. Bad News and Garvin brawling after their win was great, even better was Shultz eating a fan's popcorn and watching LOL.

MACW trades Kamala and Missing Link to WCCW for Austin Idol and Wendell Cooley
