AWA @ The Rupp Arena, Lexington KY 11-13-87 The Teamsters defeated Two Local Talents with a double front face suplex. Crusher Blackwell defeated Gene Ligon with a big splash- Lots of "Future Millionaire" cheers for Blackwell after the lotto drawing on TV.

Abbuda then rammed Bellomo back first into the steel post. Polynesian Power defeated Venomous w/Gama Singh- Fun action packed match that kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Snuka surprises Scorpio with a reverse flying press off the turnbuckles for the win. AWA TV Champ Nick Busick/"Dynamite" DJ Peterson and Mando Guerrero vs. Billy Jack Strong/Earthquake Ferris and "The Calgary Flame" Bruce Hart w/The Vin Man The tide turns several times in this wild and crazy 6 man tag. In the end, all 6 men are going at it. Vinnie tries to interfere but DJ grabs him and tosses him into Ferris. During all this chaos, Hart lowblows Mando from behind and rolls him over with a handful of tights for the tainted win. Busick and Strong were fighting on the outside and kept going after the bell rang. AWA International Title Bout "Marvelous" Mike George (C) w/Greg Gagne vs. "The Fabulous One" Steve Keirn Keirn spent the opening minutes frustrating George. The momentum changed thanks to a trip from Gagne. George controlled things for a bit and reminded everybody that he has quite the move set. Keirn comes back strong and the fans sense a title change. This is where the Ref gets sandwiched and falls to the ground. Once again, Gagne interferes. This time, Keirn bolts out of the ring and tackles Gagne. Keirn pounds down on Gagne as the fans cheer him on. Wait a minute! AUSTIN IDOL hops the guardrail and attacks Keirn from behind! Idol stomps on Keirn's leg, picks him up and rams him knee first into the steel post. Idol clamps on the Las Vegas Leglock! As the Ref starts to rise, Idol is satisfied and exits. George yells at the Ref to make the count. The Ref does just that and counts to 10. BOOOOO! Gagne grabs the International title and hands it to George. They celebrate like they've won the Super Bowl. Winner of the match by C.O. and still AWA International Champ- Mike George AWA National Tag Team Title Bout The Technicians (C) vs. The Honor Roll w/Professor Bill Ash Ash really might have found the total sum of a tag team in Kelly and Morgan, because they look strong, tough and in sync tonight. On the flip side, the Technicians are a well oiled machine and put their combined technical skills to work. After 20 minutes of action, Fleming has Kelly in a cradle. Ash distracts the Ref. Morgan runs in and reverses the cradle. Ash thinks he's a genius as the Ref guides Morgan back. However, Rheingans runs in and reverses that cradle. The Ref turns around and counts 1..2..3! Big Pop! Winners of the match and still AWA National Tag Champs- The Technicians Winner gets an AWA International Title shot at SuperClash 2 "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez vs. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko The fans boo as Larry gives them another arrogant nun chucks display. The bell rings and Larry motions the nun chucks at Perez. Larry laughs and tosses them out of the ring. Larry starts arguing with the fans, then goes to the outside to get in their faces. Perez has enough, runs out and hurls Larry back in the ring. Perez dominates early with explosive offense and several near falls. Larry turns the tide with a mule kick. Larry spends the next few minutes working over Perez with a combination of rulebreaking and impressive moves. Perez makes his comeback and is all over Larry. Larry ends up tumbling to the outside. Larry reaches over and grabs his nun chucks. Perez reaches through the ropes and grabs Larry's hair. In a moment desperation, Larry swings around and nails Perez with the nun chucks. The Ref immediately signals for the DQ. Larry gets in the ring and swings the nun chucks around. Perez is out of it and slowly gets to his knees. Larry whacks him again with the nun chucks and knocks Perez out cold. Nuclear heat for Zbyszko. However, Perez technically did get the win and does get the International title shot at SuperClash. AWA World Tag Team Title Bout The Bruise Brothers (Atlas and Cameron) (C) w/Snowman vs. "Maniac" Matt Borne and "Crippler" Rip Oliver This match is brutal and hard hitting. Both teams came to fight and they absolutely unload on each other. After 15 minutes of this, Borne and Oliver are in control. Atlas runs in and gets double slammed. Oliver hops on the middle ropes and puts Cameron down with a flying forearm blast. Borne gets on the top rope for the Bomb's Away but Snowman runs up and pushes Borne. Borne falls to the outside. Oliver runs over and nails Snowman. Atlas grabs Oliver from behind and nails him with a jumping headbutt. Cameron staggers up. They swing Oliver to the ropes and nail him with stereo double axehandles to the head 1..2..3! The winners of the match and still AWA World Tag Team Champs- The Bruise Brothers

I always loved a heel's logic when he turned. In his mind, Wahoo came up with some very valid points. I think Wahoo and Ivan will be out to prove something. Keep an eye on them. This angle will give these two vets a serious rejuvenation. Who will Mulligan's partner be? Wow, 3 men handcuffed to Ladd. But this is the Big Cat we're talking about LOL. LOL, I love Tully and Gordon's dynamic together. They play off each other so well. Tully's moving on to bigger things. Steiner continues to impress as Hot Stuff's muscle. Ladd once again makes everybody happy, until Prichard makes his return to be the special ref. This is going to be good. Nobody gets up from the hands of stone. Just ask Taz. Rich vs. Taylor is a great TV main event. Of course it ends in chaos. The fans get to cheer big time as Williams hits the Oklahoma stampede on Rich and Mulligan follows with the claw! Come Monday, Rich and El Jefe are in serious trouble. The Road to Wrestlecade is going to be a wild ride.

Action right off the bat with main eventers Moretti and Velvet going at it for the TV title. Moretti always finds a way to stay at the top. The interviews, merchandise selling and hype packages have helped make your shows top notch and crisp. Apache might have something with the chickenwing. This could really up her game. Robin gets her chance to shine with the world champ. Even Medusa gave her credit. But man, Medusa looked great here. It takes guts to relinquish a title for a chance at a higher tier. Winnona takes Richter to the limits but Richter is just too damn good and prevails. Your shows are really clicking. Great job!

Damn! Debeers is getting nuclear heat! This is going to be huge. SPC get the hard fought win, but Sherri seems to have a plan. This will be another fun tag feud. New Breed defeat their rivals Spartanburg Vice to earn a US tag title shot. New Breed don't waste any time by attacking US champs S&S. Immediate heat. You've done an amazing job with all your teams. Very competitive division. Street vs. Abby! The visual alone would sell this match. All sorts of craziness as the Sheepherders arrive along with Debeers and Boyd! Things are going to get nuts! Brody destroys Landel, but somehow the "Nature Boy' walks out victorious and alive. Dusty vs. Landel for a world title shot. Bring it on! Worldwide, Tough Guy Inc. look strong as they head into a 6 man title match. Yamada vs. Smiley could steal the show. The Commonwealth feud is going to be money! Fright Night is stacked! This will set the tone for Starrcade. Honestly. I could see Flair, Hansen, Dusty and Landel all headline Starrcade. The heat is on! BTW, nice job booking The Boss.

I don't care, just get outta here because I have a lot to say and you don't! Nikita: Nikita no want trouble but this is my interview time, so I ask you please let me finish. Dream: Are you stupid? Do we have a language issue? Do you not understand? I said beat it! Get the hell out of here! Nikita steps closer. Nikita: Nikita not go anywhere. Dream: Ok, I guess you need some help. Dream pushes Nikita! Nikita staggers back and pauses, then lunges forward and pushes Dream down to the ground. Nikita looks down at Dream and does an intimidating trap pose before exiting. Lance is laughing. Dream gets up and starts going crazy and flips over the podium. Dream: I'll knock that smile off your face Lance! Bring him back here! Get him back here!

Fleming: We learned from that loss and now we're focused like never before. These titles are staying with us and for a long time. Commercial Break "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko vs. Arnie Goldstein Before the match, Larry brings out a pair of nun chucks and gives the fans a demonstration. Larry gets his usual heat and wins the match with a swinging neckbreaker. Resnick is talking about the upcoming match between Larry and Al Perez with the winner getting a shot at the International title at SuperClash 2. While Resnick's talking, Larry swings his nun chucks around. Larry: Very impressive isn't it Resnick? Not only am I a world class wrestler but as you know I'm also a martial arts expert. I can do it all and after I dispose of Alvin, I'll soon be the International champion. Resnick, there's nothing I can't do. Commercial Break Scott "Powerhouse" Putski vs. Randy Rose w/Norvell Austin The bell rings and Norvell is distracting Putski, which allows Rose to attack from behind. Rose pounds away on Putski, swings him to the ropes and puts him down with a high knee 1..2..Kick Out. Rose picks up Putski and slams him down, then hops on the middle ropes and comes down with a sling shot splash 1..2..Putski gets his foot on the ropes.

Commercial Break AWA International Champ "Marvelous" Mike George w/Greg Gagne vs. Sam Smith Gagne does an overdramatic celebration as George hits a Russian LegSweep for the win. Resnick: This weekend at the Rupp Arena, Mike George defends the International title against Steve Keirn. Gagne: We already know that Resnerd. First off, my associate Gama Singh has assured me that Venomous will make short work of those idiot islander savages. Now, about this Keirn fella. He talks a big game about being a wargames winner. However, he's never met a wrestler the caliber of Mike George. Mike George is marvelous and that's so much better than fabulous. George: (laughs) You're right on the money Greg. Steve Keirn is an underachiever and has zero chance of giving me any competition whatsoever! (George smiles and kisses his title) Gagne: Get a new suit Resnerd. We're out of here! Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing pink 'Beauty Shop' sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Brenda is standing with Jerry Jarrett and several men wearing suits. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome back to the Beauty Shop. Wow, it feels like I've been gone forever. Now, we all know everything happens here. At SuperClash 2 you will see a million dollar match. Jerry, go ahead and give the details. Jarrett: Thank you Brenda. Standing behind me are several representatives of various AWA sponsors. Each of them have contributed to the million dollars put up for this monumental match. Sitting in front of me is the lotto generator. Inside each ball has the name of an AWA wrestler. 2 balls will be drawn. Those two wrestlers will wrestle at SuperClash 2 for one million dollars. Truly a lifechanging event for the winner. Brenda, if you want to grab the handle and give it a spin, I'll draw the first name. Britton: So exciting! Brenda spins the generator several times and stops. Jarrett pulls out a ball and reads the name. Jarrett: The first wrestler who will be competing for one million dollars is CRUSHER BLACKWELL! The men in suits clap Britton: BOOOOOO! Jeez, can you imagine what that hick would do with a million dollars? What a let down. Jarrett: Ok Brenda, go ahead and give it a spin. Brenda spins it and stops. Jarrett: Crusher Blackwell's opponent at SuperClash 2 for one million dollars will be... Jarrett reads it and pauses. Jarrett: I don't believe it. GERRY MORROW. Britton: OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!

Winner of the match by DQ- Jerry Lawler. However, Bad News Brown is still the AWA World Champion

Ladd's card first, Robley's monsters continue their path of destruction. TNT finds out Garvin is one tough customer. Wherever Tommy Rich goes, shenanigans follow LOL. I wonder if Tully and JYD will ever get things settled. I'm sure Ladd will come up with a solution. Robley turns things way up and I'm sure now has Ladd's undivided attention. WHOA! Did not see this coming! Wahoo turns on JYD! NO WAY! After that beating, Tully will be the last thing on JYD's mind. Man, what a swerve! Onto Watt's card, Graham and Santo get the night going. Good win for Muta. Proves he can go with the big and bad. Hopefully we get more Duggan/Vader brawls. Not sure going to Watts was the right move for Wright's Christians. Seeing Adnan go down to the DDT was a satisfying moment. Luger retains but questions still remain. Once again, the Ladd/Watts storyline is one of the game's best.

AWA @ The Quandt Fieldhouse, Stevens Point WI 11-6-87 Uncommon Alliance defeated Gene Ligon and Stoney Burke- Kirchner hit a backbreaker on Burke and held him as Barr came off the middle ropes with a knee drop to the mid section for the win. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko defeated Salvatore Bellomo with a spinning neckbreaker The British Bombers defeated The Teamsters-Fun back and forth match between two teams vying for a title shot.

AWA World Tag Team Champs The Bruise Brothers (Atlas, Snowman and Cameron) vs. Matt Borne, Rip Oliver and Crusher Blackwell This match was off the rails! All 6 men came to fight and they did just that. They gave the fans a 20 minute slugfest. All 6 men end up in the ring just pounding away on each other. Blackwell hit a running corner splash on Snowman. As Atlas clotheslined Blackwell from behind, Snowman staggered forward into a cradle by Borne 1..2..3! Big POP! Don't forget, this Friday on TV. The biggest main event ever! AWA World Title Bout! Bad News Brown (C) vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler

Koko has certainly found his groove in the openers. Big time won over Barbarian. Give Dutch a pay raise. The Badd Co./Nasties feud has added a lot of spice to the tag division. Casey is having the run of his career in Windy City. I'm loving it. 6 man tag is an action packed roller coaster ride! Jimmy Jam gets the big shine with the brainbuster finish. Lanny is going nuts, but I think Savage is going to get insane! NEW Tag Champs!!! Road Warriors, from Chicago, it was meant to be. Props to Orton and Slater for a fun run. Reed's win helps ease the tag title loss. What a main event! Race proves he actually has a lot left in the tank. Bigelow proves he's a superstar. All sorts of chaos leads to a DQ. However, great set up to the big Thanksgiving show. TV's Mark Madness (LOL) is off and running. Everything is coming together for Thanksgiving Thunder. So many great feuds going on. Savage and Poffo are heading for an explosive showdown. Dream 4 corners tag title bout. Bunkhouse match, Street fight, Reed vs. Steamboat. Awesome stuff! The big question is will Bigelow finally find a way to take the title from Race. Can't wait to find out.

Sorry Kev, forgot to post this. AWA traded Ricky Steamboat to Windy City for Chris Adams. Also, Grizzly Boone is listed on my roster. He's with the NWA now.

Excellent follow up! Robley just might get his wish. But be careful because he'll be matching wits with Michael Hayes. Tully gets his rematch but still doesn't seem satisfied. Loved his last words with Gordon LOL. Such a heel. Wahoo's and Ivan's feud continues. It's great to see these vets involved in a great feud at this stage in their careers. Tommy Rich!!! The T-Shirt has been the best running gag in the game (Thanks Gene). Awesome job recapping the history and validating Tommy's points. Rich seems to be looking forward working for Ladd. Great stuff! Hot Stuff Inc get their rematch but I think the Freebirds are one step ahead. More intrigue involving Luger, Woman, the AWA and Watts. These types of stories will draw huge ratings every week. The Million Dollar Corporation vs. Snake, Duggan, Herc and Steiner is heading for a major showdown. Ladd and Watts is hotter than ever! Thanksgiving is the biggest night for wrestling and these guys are going to go toe to toe with WrestleCades! The heat is on!

Winnona has had an amazing TV title reign. Beating Kai defiantly gets her ready for Richter. It's good to see the vets like Devine and Combs getting wins and staying in the hunt. Maxine is getting some shine and I agree, she might be ready for a title shot. 6 top stars in the main event. Can't go wrong with that. Babyfaces stand tall to end the show on a high note. Richter probably won't be in a good mood and that might be trouble for Winnona next week.

Boyd makes an impactful debut. An alliance between Debeers and Boyd? OH NO! If you look back at this game's history, Boone has done quite well. He's keeping that up in the NWA. Ox and the Islanders is such a devastating combo. Smiley shows off his tremendous skills by dismantling the big man. I have to admit, I popped big time when Johnson pulled of that win over Haystacks. What a great TV moment. Dusty vs. Arn always delivers. Dusty wins the A block and is really close to a Starrcade main event. Worldwide, Another solid round of showcases with Fuller, Spartanburg and Adonis. Jump'n Joe gets his shot at Smiley. Smiley's been taking on a variety of challengers. Fright Night is really shaping up. Hansen vs. Flair! Bees get their title shot. And the winners of the Spartanburg/New Breed feud will be rewarded with a US tag shot. Next week's Block B matches will be a lot of fun. Dusty is going to have his hands full with whoever wins it. Great storylines as we head down the road to Starrcade.

Burke's having a bit of a career resurgence as him and Finlay hand the Diamond Exchange a rare loss. Cactus is really proving himself. Dutch Savage has had enough! Will the wrestlers be able to control themselves until Battleground? It was tainted but that win might be enough to get Young's confidence back. Windham busts out the claw! Midnights ruin the tag title bout and didn't look like Snow appreciated that. Portland, Rose fought hard for that win. Never underestimate the Playboy. I got a kick out of the Red/Cactus match. Bearer has sure taken a liking to Red. Haynes shows he can brawl with the best of them. Odd Couple get back on the winning track and Gantner was pissed about it. Thanks to more chaos, Savage comes out with another stern warning. Bock is really going out with a bang. Interesting that both Owen and Pillman received recent Pacific title shots with Bock and will now wrestle each other at Battleground. Eugene, Snow fought hard but goes down to SSM. Another hard fought brawl between Burke and Angel. Anvilizer! Coast to Coast get a big win over the Sawyers. St. Clair looks impressive with a win over tag champ Candido. Backlund vs. Finlay is a heck of a way to end the night. Battleground is stacked! So much at stake.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-4-87 Footage from last week is shown as The Quebec Coalition attack Jerry Lawler. Later in the show, Lawler comes out and announces the Quebec Coalition will face him and a mystery partner. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling.

Tony Atlas goes one on one with Crusher Blackwell. Polynesian Power takes on Venomous. But right now, my guest is the AWA world champion, Bad News Brown. Brown is so money as he walks out wearing a suit with the top buttons unbuttoned, gold chain around his neck and the belt on his shoulder. Lance: Well Bad News, you've had lot going on recently. Jerry Jarrett has signed the world title rematch between you and Jerry Lawler, which will take place right here, next week on TV. Not only that but you recently wrestled UWF champ Lex Luger in a title vs. title match at their Halloween Havoc. Just what was that all about? It seemed to of come out of nowhere. Brown: What happened was I got tired of beating up all the competition in the AWA. An opportunity came up to beat up a so called champion somewhere else and I did just that. If it wasn't for some jezebel, I'd be wearing two titles right now! As for Queen Lawler, it looks like he's preoccupied with other things right now. Well, if he aint one hundred percent next week, then that's bad news for him! Bad News raises his fist and the title. Commercial Break Mando Guerrero vs. Ty Ramsey Good showcase for Mando as he swings off the ropes and hits a flying crossbody press for the win. Mando cuts a promo and says he's looking forward to shutting Bruce Hart up. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Champ Tony Atlas vs. Crusher Blackwell These two start out clubbing each other.

Phil Hickerson comes out to join his stablemates at ringside. Resnick: Norvell, your Midnight Express are having a hard time with the Glamour Boys. And Phil Hickerson seems to be having his hands full with Scott Putski. Norvell: Hello! Did you not see last week's match when my main man Phil knocked that Punkski out? Knocked him out cold! Resnick: Yea, with the help of some brass knuckles. Norvell: Your opinion means nothing Resnick. Now, as far as those sissy boys go, my Midnight Express are going to take care of them soon enough. I mean we've beaten them up so many times, it's not even fun anymore. Commercial Break "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez vs. Curtis Moore Perez looks outstanding and wins the match with the helicopter drop! Resnick: Al, next week at the Rupp Arena, once again it's you and Larry Zbyszko, only this time, the winner will receive an AWA International title shot at SuperClash 2. Perez: You know, last year Larry and I were National tag team champs. A lot has changed. It's time to prove myself and win a single's title. That means I have to get through Zbyszko first. Larry, I've beaten you before and I'll do it again. Commercial Break Footage is shown from a few weeks ago when Abbuda Iaukea threw a fireball in Carlos Colon's face. Carlos Colon is sitting in a hospital bed with his head bandaged and wrapped around his left eye. Colon: Sitting here for weeks, I've had a lot of time to reflect. I consider this punishment for the sins I've committed this past year. I'm ashamed of my actions and behavior. I was wrong and from the bottom of my heart I'm sorry. I will be back to redeem myself and that starts with the Iaukea family. I should be cleared to wrestle by the end of the year. Which means at SuperClash 2, I'm challenging you Abbuda Iaukea! Your Father has you on a very dark path. Trust me, that will get you nowhere. Curtis! If you get in my way, it will be your demise! I will see you both at SuperClash! Commercial Break Abbuda Iaukea w/Curtis Iaukea vs. Harold Bannister Abbuda hits the ring and pounds Bannister to the ground. Abbuda hits 3 consecutive backbreakers and follows with the camel clutch for the win. Abbuda hurls Bannister out of the ring. Curtis hits Bannister several times with his kendo stick. Abbuda runs over, picks up Bannister and rams him back first into the steel post several times before slamming him down hard on the concrete! Bannister is stretchered out by a team of Medics. Resnick: That was uncalled for! You both should be banned from wrestling! Curtis: That was a message! A message to you Carlos Colon! Abbuda will be waiting! (Maniacal laugh) Yes, he will be waiting! Abbuda: Colon! You're right. My path is a dark one. A path you didn't have the guts to take. At SuperClash you will be on my path and I will tear right through you! And then the real suffering begins! Commercial Break Polynesian Power vs. Venomous w/Gama Singh Fun fast paced match that really shows what these two teams are capable of. Venomous are a well oiled machine and pull out some innovating high offensive maneuvers. Kokina and Snuka bring the power. After 10 minutes, all 4 men are going at it. Snuka sends Cobra through the ropes with a jumping headbutt as Kokina hits a Samoan Drop on Scorpio for the pin! Bruce Hart and Greg Gagne run in and attack Snuka. Kokina runs over but Gama clips him behind the knee. They start putting the boots to Polynesian Power. The fans go wild when Mando Guerrero storms the ring swinging a chair like a madman! That's enough to clean house. Commercial Break Saturday, December 31st St. Paul Civic Center Live on Pay Per View Jerry Jarrett is standing in front of a SuperClash 2 banner Jarrett: SuperClash 2 is shaping up to be the greatest event in AWA history. What better way to kick things off then with Joan Jett singing the National Anthem? You know that on the previous night at the Clash Countdown, there will be a tag team battle royal. The winners will each be rewarded a brand new Cadillac and a National Tag Team title shot the next night at SuperClash. Carlos Colon will be back to take on Abbuda Iaukea. Big news on the Million Dollar Match. The two names will be drawn next week in the lotto pool on the returning Beauty Shop. Switching gears, recently in Japan a fan poll was taken. They voted on the dream match they wanted to see most. Well, at SuperClash the AWA is going to give them that match. It will be none other than Jumbo Tsuruta against Tatsumi Fujinami. That's right, the former AWA world tag champs and Crockett Cup winners will face each other at SuperClash. This will truly be an international spectacle. I'll see you all next week on the Beauty Shop for the big million dollar match lotto drawing. Commercial Break "The Fabulous One" Steve Keirn vs. Vic Dutro Keirn wins it with the reverse DDT. Resnick: Steve, next week at the Rupp Arena, you get an International title shot against Mike George. Tremendous opportunity for you. Keirn: It is a tremendous opportunity and trust me I'm going to make the absolute most of it. I heard Gagne and George running their mouths last week about how I'm not worthy competition. Boys, I came out on the winning side of War Games and I'm carrying that momentum to the International title! Commercial Break Billy Jack Strong vs. William Hillman Strong is aggressive tonight and finishes things off with a shoulder breaker. It's announced that Strong will get his TV title shot rematch in two weeks. Strong cuts a promo and says Busick's been ducking him because he's scared and knows his title reign is coming to an abrupt end! Commercial Break Resnick: In just a few minutes our main event will take place. Before we get to that I wanted to bring out Professor Bill Ash and his Honor Roll. Ash comes out in his cap and gown. Kelly and Morgan are wearing their new black gowns. Resnick: Well Professor, you guys did it. The Honor Roll defeated the Technicians in a non title match and now have earned a National tag title shot at the Rupp Arena next week. Ash: Admit it Resnick, I'm a genus. I told you I would put together the total sum of a tag team and I did. Kevin Kelly and Rip Morgan have become one. And now, they will become champions. Resnick: Ok, we'll see about that next week at the Rupp Arena. Our huge main event when we come back. Commercial Break Jerry "The King" Lawler and ??? vs. The Quebec Coalition w/Frenchy Martin Frenchy and The Quebec Coalition are standing in the ring boasting confidence. Frenchy grabs the mic. Frenchy: Dis is what I thought. There was no way Jerry Lawler would find a partner brave enough to face de Quebec Coalition. Do your job referee and count de coward out!" The fans boo as Frenchy waves the Quebec Flag while Charland and Lefon berate the Ref. The boos turn to wild cheers as Jerry Lawler steps out. He walks a few steps down the aisle smiling. Lawler stops and looks to the back. The curtain opens and it's...it's....it's...yes! it's NIKITA KOLOFF!!! The bell rings as Lawler and Koloff charge in. Lawler and Nikita pound away on the Quebecs as the fans go nuts! Stereo body slams. Frenchy tries to hit Lawler with his flag but Nikita runs over and sends him through the ropes with a running shoulder block! Charland staggers up as Nikita clotheslines him over the top rope! Lawler hoists Lafon up and piledrives him down. Lawler picks up Lafon and swings him to the ropes as Nikita just about decapitates him with the Russian Sickle 1..2..3!!! The fans are standing, jumping and screaming as Lawler and Nikita celebrate. Unbelievable!

That's so awesome! I can't think of a better compliment than that. Way to cool.

Vic Steamboat continues to rack up wins. Ross and Brickhouse put a stamp on their feud with the Russians. Bruno tries but gets caught. Hopefully we get more Scott/Embry matches. This could be a really fun feud. Wild triple bullrope match where the masks keep coming off. This would've been a blast to see live. Fuller thinks he's riding high after helping the Starrs beat the Nightmares. That comes to an abrupt end with a revenge fireball from the Bullet. Tommy no shows but we get 'Mildfire' and one hilarious shirt. This was so funny and was topped off by Travis and Bruno simply walking out on Mildfire LOL. Madril is a walking miracle and wouldn't you know it, he walks out with the title! I can only imagine what the next Fiesta Garden will be like. Twin States continues to deliver the heat.

The battle of the Halloween Havocs! Here we go! I think Ladd better give Robley what he wants. Ladd makes a great call and gives us an exciting tag bout. Taylor and Garvin get the win but the young and brutal cartel get the last laugh. Props to Ivan and Wahoo for going all out. The fans witnessed a bloodbath brawl. I hope we get to find out what went down in the back. Hayes is the most heelish babyface in the game LOL. He's also one sly dude. The scene of Missy and Gilbert counting with their backs turned was hilarious. Mulligan makes Estrada suffer until El Gringo Grande (Long live the T-Shirts) himself shows up and it's none other than Tommy Rich! What an awesome surprise! Rich is a shoe in for most hated wrestler of the year. I can't wait to see what he does here and how he interacts with Ladd. Oh boy! The odds were against Tully from the start. JYD holding gold in Mid South just seems right. Damn! Willaims and Nikita more than deliver and brother they had their working boots on. Williams pulls it out and that stare down at the end said it all. Ok, let's see if Watts can follow that. Things are on the right track as Muta opens with an exciting win over Santo. Rogers is the type of guy that will get his opponent over and defiantly gets the job done with Benoit. Duggan gets the first earth shattering pop of the night by beating Rotunda for the TV title in an exciting finish. Murdoch roughs Vader up but Woman is the deciding factor as Vader moves up another notch. Ellering and Jake will be money just on promos alone. Genius booking putting these two together. We get a DQ finish but Ellering and the slithering snake give the fans plenty to cheer about. This feud could be legendary. Who wouldn't want to see 2 muscled up powerhouses taking on 2 huge monsters for the tag titles? Herc and Scott take down the disasters and are holding gold. The main event is full of drama and leaves everyone wondering. Luger and Brown throw everything they got at each other and battle to a double co. What's going on with Woman? How will Watts react? Are Jarrett and Brown going to walk quietly back to the AWA? So much intrigue. It's a hard one to call. Both Ladd and Watts delivered stellar shows. I guess in the end, the fans are the true winners. Great job Kev!

What a way to kick off the show! It's a miracle that Madril even showed up with all the injuries he suffered LOL. I loved the angle here with Tugboat and Plowboy. Thatcher's reaction to all this was icing on the cake. Tommy puts it all on the line against his cousins. Not sure Travis is as confident. Desperados and Thunderfoots in a triple bull rope match is Twin States at its best. Fuller better get ready because the wrath of Brad is coming! The main event was pure entertainment and so much fun. Loved it! We get the huge blow off as the big men's masks come off for the shocking revealing. I can't wait for Olympia vs. Madril, one on one. Bring on the Chamber of Horrors!

Kelowna Great suplex finishing sequence by Severn. Loved that powerhouse tag match. Akira proves he's still a major threat. Nice crowd pleasing win for Burke. The Diamond Exchange might have a title shot very soon. Once again the LHW title match steals the show. Pillman is rock'n that title! San Diego Battleground is going to be epic! Those 2 matches alone guarantee a sell out.

Sid and Simmons! Bring it on! I would love to see Owen and Pillman go at it in a show stealing match. Backlund can't stands no more. It's all on the line for Young and Anvil. This has been a great storyline. Sawyers are having a pretty good run. The Pride might want to move on from Furnas. Damn good battle royal! Very well written. It was fun seeing all the rivalries go at it. Cool finish with some friction from Windham. The bottom line is we're going to get an absolute classic for the title between Bock and Hennig. Vancouver Rose beats his rival Finlay, thanks to the Club. Props to Hito for doing his job so well. Very reliable soldier. I know Barr relished that win. Things are really heating up between St. Clair and Payne. Wild six man tag that has an even wilder finish. Is Red slowly losing it? Just like his brother Owen, Bret takes Bock to his limits. However, Bock regains composure to retain. With all these hard title defenses, I wonder how much this will take out of Bock by Battleground.

Bam Bam finally gets his shot! This will bring in the money! Road Warriors vs. Slater and Orton is a dream match for me. The Poffo/Savage story is getting some serious momentum. Steamboat, RnR, Jimmy Jam, and the Rockers in one match! YES! Not only do you have some heated main event angles going, but your undercard is full of great stuff. Casey as the street fight champ, Jayhawks and Renegade Warriors, Nasties and Badd Co. All sorts of fun!

Only fitting that the Monsters retain in a tag battle royal on a Halloween themed show. I've always had a hard time writing battle royals, so I'm impressed with your easy to read write up. Well done. Starr beats Chase in a good seasons match. Pardue starts off strong but Winnona finds her groove to retain. The aggressiveness at the beginning shows the importance of the TV title. Richter vs. Misty Blue is a solid match up. Going for the US title really elevates it. Once again, Richter is holding gold, but she had to earn it. I've really enjoyed the subtle build to the Medusa/Velvet main event. They give the fans a competitive and clean match until Medusa pulls out a slight heel move to retain. You've got a great story going here and I believe there's a lot more to tell. Really fun card!

AWA releases Tim Patterson

These cards are stacked! Both Ladd and Watts are going all out. Ladd might have the edge with those barn burner feuds to blow off. On the flip side, Watts throws a massive curveball with the title vs. title main event. And let's not forget Dibiase vs. Jake! Halloween will be a dream wrestling day for the fans. I know I can't wait!

I was recently informed that Jerry Jarrett has been in some very discreet meetings with UWF president Bill Watts. I understand that AWA world champ Bad News Brown will face UWF champ Lex Luger in a title vs. title match at the UWF's Halloween Havoc. Boy, I'm still taking this all in. I've also been told that no matter the outcome, Jerry Lawler will still get a world title shot on November 11th. A lot to process here Jerry. Lawler: It sure is Lance. However, the bottom line is I will still get that golden opportunity. Brown and I still have unfinished business and I would love to get that resolved. But, if things don't go so well for him at Halloween Havoc, then I'll be more than happy to see Luger in the ring. The end result will be the same... Boos as Frenchy Martin leads his Quebec Coalition out. Frenchy: De problem with you Lawler, is you talk to much. De fans want to see de Quebec Coalition in action and you are in de way. In other words, get lost! Lawler steps towards Frenchy but the Quebec Coalition attack him! The Quebecs pound away on Lawler and hurl him in the ring. They double suplex Lawler. Charland picks up Lawler and hits an inverted piledriver as Lefon swings off the ropes and follows with a senton. Quebecs stand tall as Frenchy waves the Quebec flag over Lawler's body. BOOOOOOOOS! Commercial Break "The Z-Man" Tom Zenk vs. Harold Bannister The fans need a pick up and Zenk gives them one. Zenk excites the crowd and wins the match with a superkick! Commercial Break "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko vs. Neil Jordan Larry's his usual arrogant and pompous self and wins the match with a swinging neckbreaker. Resnick: Larry Zbyszko, you and Al Perez have been going at it and trading wins all across the AWA arenas. I've been told that on November 12th at the Rupp Arena, you guys will wrestle once again and this time, the winner will get an AWA International title shot at SuperClash 2. Larry: You know Resnick, it's about damn time that I get a title shot. Looks like Jerry Jarrett finally woke up. As for you Alvin, you've been a thorn in my side long enough. Time to finish you off and move on to way bigger and way better things. Commercial Break Scott "Powerhouse" Putski vs. Phil Hickerson w/Norvell Austin These two have been at each other since Putski aligned with the Glamour Boys. Tonight is no different as they hammer away on each other. Putski starts to get the upper hand. Norvell hops on the apron, but Putski swings back and sends Norvell flying with a back elbow. Phil staggers around as Putski puts him down with a clothesline 1..2..Kick Out. It's all Putski until he goes for a back drop and Phil, kicks him hard. Phil breaks all the rules as he punishes Putski. Phil slams Putski and follows with a standing leg drop 1..2..Kick Out. Phil spends to much time arguing with the Ref. Phil picks up Putski and swings him to the ropes, he misses a clothesline, Putski swings back and puts Phil down with a dropkick. Phil staggers up as Putski scoop slams him down. Putski hops on the middle ropes and crashes down with a knee drop 1..2..Kick Out. Norvell jumps on the apron. Putski runs over and grabs him. Putski lifts Norvell off his feet. Phil staggers up, reaches in his pants and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles. Phil runs over and nails the back of Putski's head. Phil hides the brass knuckles and covers 1..2..3! Norvell shakes the cobwebs, gets in the ring and puts the boots to a lifeless Putski. Commercial Break Saturday, December 31st. St. Paul Civic Center Live on Pay Per View Lance Russell is standing in front of a SuperClash 2 banner. Lance: Fans, the AWA's biggest event of the year is coming. I'm talking about SuperClash 2. As you heard last week, Joan Jett will get things going with the National Anthem. I can also tell you that the previous night on the TV special Clash Countdown, there will be a tag team battle royal. The winners will get a National Tag Team title shot the next night at SuperClash. And listen to this. Several sponsors for the AWA have gotten together to put on a million dollar lottery match. Here's how that will work. 2 AWA names will be selected from a lottery pool. The two names selected will wrestle for one million dollars at SuperClash. You talk about a life changing match. The names will be drawn on TV in a couple weeks. SuperClash 2 is shaping up to be the greatest night in AWA history.

Barr swings his bull rope around as Kirchner waves the American Flag. Commercial Break AWA International Champ "Marvelous" Mike George w/Greg Gagne vs. Clyde Putnam George spends the match toying with his opponent before finishing him off with a Russian Leg Sweep! Gagne jumps up and down in celebration before handing George the title. Bruce Hart, Gama Singh and Venomous join them at ringside. Resnick: Looks like you've formed quite a stable Greg, Gagne: Very observant Resnerd. Just look at these specimens. Gagne's Gang is unbeatable. Resnick: We'll soon find that out. Polynesian Power are gunning for Venomous. Gama: Let me stop you right there! Those savages are nowhere near the caliber of Venomous! Resnick: Ok, what about you Bruce Hart. Just what is your problem with Mando Guerrero. Hart: I'll tell you what my problem with him is. All I keep hearing is what a dynasty the Guerrero family is. That makes me laugh. Everybody knows the Hart family is the only dynasty in wrestling. No way a Guerrero can beat a Hart. That stooge Mando is going to find that out! Resnick: As for you Mike George. In 2 weeks at the Rupp Arena, you'll be defending the International title against Steve Keirn. George: (looks at Gagne with a puzzled look) Steve Keirn? Really? That's the best the AWA can come up with? Gagne: (laughing) I know, he's a joke. Just like Polynesian Power and just like Mando Guerrero. Come on Resnerd! Get with it! We're so out of here. Commercial Break Special Challenge Match AWA National Tag Team Champs The Technicians vs. The Honor Roll w/Professor Bill Ash Ash comes out alone wearing a cap and gown. He stops and looks back. Out come Kevin Kelly and Rip Morgan wearing black gowns. Their hair styles are slicked back into ponytails. Ash nods in approval. Technicians come out wearing their matching wrestling singlets and titles around their waists. The opening minutes is all Technicians as they simply outwrestle the Honor Roll with quick tags and take downs. Honor Roll get in some moments but nothing serious.

Come on, let's get Gerry. The camera follows Brenda as she walks down the street, to a park, then suddenly stops as she looks over at a bench. Brenda: It can't be him. It can't be. Oh no. Oh Gerry. The camera zooms in on the bench. Gerry is sleeping there. His hair's a mess, he's unshaven and unkept. He's wearing a dirty white tank top and camouflage pants with no shoes. There's several empty bottles in brown paper bags all around him. Brenda starts to walk up, then stops. Brenda: (tears up) I can't, I just can't!
