You know it's going to be a good night when a patriot defeats a terrorist. Now Embry has a legit argument for a Jr. title match. The Flamboyant One vs. The Doctor of Desire. The match sells itself. Bruno's boys lose by DQ but they're the ones standing tall. Sawyer's win the first battle. Bullet gets the pin on Adonis and then we get a bonus brawl. OH YEA! The Universal Heartthrob has arrived and gets over right away by winning the elimination match and making Landel submit. I'm excited about an Idol/Landel feud. The promos will be gold!

Embry arriving and saying he forfeited the NWA Jr. title cracked me up. Continental is the perfect place for Embry. Can't wait for more confrontations between the Sawyers and Rich's! Family feud of the year. Ron has a mystery man coming in and apparently Landel is the target. Very interesting. Kirchner arrives. USA! USA! USA! "Ballad of Dumbbell Dougie" Bruno is pretty funny. Great story here. Cobra makes the turn on Scorpio and heads out with Bruno. I always liked Cobra's heel work. His matches with Scorpio will keep the fans on the edge of their seats. Bullet gets a rematch with Adonis. Things might be different with Sherri being banned. New Breed are pumped up and ready for the scaffold match. "Falling Starrs" What a great finisher name LOL. It says a lot when Landel is the voice of reason. I have to agree with him. Slick has really come through. Serious Madril is not to be messed with. Slinker found that out, the hard way. Madril's comedic timing was perfect with the Wrath of Khan line. Poor Slinker always ends up in a bad way in Dawn of War. Wild Bill gets the TV title shot but goes down to Taylor. Taylor is rock'n that TV title! Great show Gene! I laughed all the way through.

Huge news in the NWA as the regional titles are gone. But hey, we're getting Race vs. Tully for the world title. Sounds like a great Christmas gift for the fans. Trouble has arrived! Paul Jones brings in Matt Borne and also signs Kabuki. WOW! Foley might be in trouble because the Renegade Warriors can't stand him so much that they're going after the US titles. Sullivan's out and this will lead to a 4 corners match for the TV title. Sullivan's lucky Luger didn't get a hold of him before he bailed. Jones man Kabuki ends the show with a win. That mist is some bad stuff. Oh man, Paul Jones isn't wasting any time. Now he has Bass and Bart. That's one strong stable! The NWA is off and running!

Last Stand is the perfect name for the UWFs first supercard. After everything that went down between them, it's only fitting Ladd and Watts should settle things the old fashion way. Freebirds better be ready because Williams and Gordy are looking to finally finish the job. Casey and Sunshine have some serious back up. Will this be the end of the Freebirds in the UWF? On the flip side, after that Hayes promo, never count the birds out. Soul Man vs. The Snake in a unification match. I'm sold. Koko saves Gibson and now the tornado match is set with the RPMs. We'll find out if the RPMs can back up all that talk. If Vader takes down both Patriots, then Sullivan is right. He'll be a true monster. With Ted Turner's money backing them up, the UWF will be a major force. Watts seems to have taken a liking to Brad Armstrong. Brad gets his shot at some gold but needs to get past The Mighty Yankee first. Reed vs. The Million Dollar Man for all the marbles. Can Reed beat the odds? I wouldn't bet against him. Things are really heating up.

Sincere promo from Texas Red. That feud with Borne and Sawyer really got him over here. It also really got the danger of the heart punch over. Akbar makes the challenge. Kazaharu/Regal one more time...OH YEA! I would buy a ticket for the Islanders/Lightfoot-Cartel match alone. I'm into this feud. Oh my! Glamour Boys want one last match with the Highwaymen inside the steel cage! Add in the losing team disbands and we've got a guaranteed sell out. This has been one of the longest and best feuds in the game. Good job on always keeping it fresh. Well, I knew it was only a matter of time before the Fabs broke up. I'm so glad I got to do my RnR/Fabs dream feud. Looking forward to Keirn's run here. I defiantly see him having a run with the title. Welcome home Steve! That promo by Backlund was, well, priceless. I love how he snaps in a second. I'm actually pulling for him to win the title. A Backlund reign would be off the charts. No doubt about it, Florida is a hot spot.

Velvet's on such a role that a world title match might be in her future. Love that Medusa/Mitchell match up. Two hard hitters going at it. All sorts of fun in the main event. Awesome shot at the end with Richter, Dallas and Kat standing tall with the gold.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 12-3-86 Show kicks off with "Rock Rock Til You Drop" by Def Leppard as all the highlights from SuperClash are shown. Included are Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami winning the battle royal and later defeating Priceless for the World Tag Team Titles. Larry Z and Al Perez defeating the Bruise Brothers in the tournament finals to become National Tag Champs. Jimmy Snuka hits the Superfly Splash on Ox Baker. Blackjack Mulligan beating up Paul Jones with the bullrope. Iceman Parsons attacking Mulligan. The Rock n Roll Express defeats the Fabulous Ones to win the best of 7 series. Jerry Lawler defeating Austin Idol for the National title as well as sending Idol out of the AWA. Ricky Steamboat narrowly defeats Carlos Colon to retain the AWA World Title. Comments by Steamboat in the Lockeroom right after his match with Colon. Steamboat: I have to admit, Carlos Colon gave me one of the toughest challenges of my life tonight. He pulled out all his dirty tricks but, in the end, I walked out still AWA world champ. I want to make one thing clear, I will continue to defend this title, night after night against anybody the AWA sends my way. I hold this title with great pride and honor, and I plan on holding it a lot longer. To the program Lance: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Well, as you saw, SuperClash is in the books and what a historic night that was. We'll be talking quite a bit about SuperClash tonight. We have a great program lined up. You'll see the Olympians take on the Union. Also....wait a second, Carlos Colon is on his way over. Carlos, is there something on your mind? Colon: You saw it! All these people saw it! I should be the AWA world champion! Do you know why I'm not? Because, once again everybody has conspired against me and have protected Ricky Steamboat. Blatant disrespect! BOOOOS come over the crowd. Lance: I don't believe what I'm seeing. Curtis Iaukea is heading over. Hold on gentlemen, just take it easy. Colon clenches his fists and gives Iaukea a death look. Iaukea: Carlos Colon, I come in peace. Just listen to me. If there is one man that deserves respect, it is you! For months, my main objective was to destroy you. I sent in monsters, paid assassins, beasts and blood thirsty animals to take care of you. One by one they all failed. Carlos Colon, you not only survived but you won! I am here to say, you have my upmost respect! I have been watching you very closely. You have taken a step towards the dark side. I can take you the rest of the way. Join with me Carlos Colon and you will get everything you want and most off all you will get the respect you so deserve! I am here for you. Walk with me Carlos Colon. Walk with me. Iaukea walks away. Colon pauses for a few seconds and follows. Lance: (shaking his head in disbelief) I have no idea what just happened, and I can't believe what I just saw. Carlos Colon has followed Curtis Iaukea. I never thought I would ever say that. We'll be back. Commercial Break The Rock n Roll Express vs. Vic Dutro and Wille Lopez The fans can't stop cheering as RnR hit the double dropkick for the win! Resnick: Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson, first off congratulations on your big win at SuperClash. You defeated the Fabulous Ones in a thrilling best of 7 series (Huge Pop) and now you will be rewarded with an AWA world tag team title shot against the new champs Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami. Robert: Hey, we went toe to toe with the Fabs and won. Now it's time to win some gold. Ricky: Rock n Roll will never die! We showed the world that RnR is better than ever. We're riding high and we're going to continue this momentum by winning the world tag titles. Nothing but respect to Jumbo and Tatsumi. We're looking forward to an outstanding match up. Commercial Break TV Champ "The Great" Gagne w/Johnny Valiant vs. Neil Jordan Gagne is at his arrogant best and wins the match with the sleeper. Valiant snatches the mic from Resnick Valiant: (Singing) He's the great great Gagne, he's the champ. He's the great great Gagne, he's the best! Gagne: (smiling) Thank you Johnny, that was beautiful. Resnick, I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so! I told you so! I told you so! When the pressure is on, the great Gagne comes through. Right now, I'm the greatest champion in the AWA, bar none! Nobody can beat me for this TV title! And I mean nobody! Because I'm the Great Gagne! Commercial Break Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka vs. Todd Rooney Snuka is pumped up tonight and wins the match with the Superfly Splash! Resnick: Jimmy Snuka, your Superfly Splash has become a highlight reel in the AWA. What's next for the Superfly? Snuka: Well brutha, no matter what obstacle gets in my way, the Superfly always overcomes it. I'm ready for any challenge that comes my way and I'm ready to go after any title here in the AWA. Commercial Break Iceman Parsons vs. Melvin Jones Thundering boos during the entire match. Iceman hits the booty bump, then hoists Jones up and delivers a front face suplex for the win. Resnick: Iceman Parsons! I think you owe all these fans an explanation. Just what was your deal with Blackjack Mulligan? Iceman: First off, I don't owe these idiots a damn thing! However, if it's an explanation you want, why don't I let this man give it to you. Introducing my new manager, Roger Kirby. Resnick: What in the world? Roger Kirby walks out with Kerry Brown. Kirby: SuperClash was a big night for me. I want you to remember, that was the night where it all began. I went out and bought the contract of the Pitbull Kerry Brown. Then I watched in pure joy as the Pitbull slammed Jerry Fatwell down on the concrete. Next up, I saw something that changed my life forever. I saw Iceman Parsons get in the ring with the baddest SOB in the AWA, Blackjack Mulligan. Parsons beat that man bloody! I had talked earlier with Parsons but wasn't sold just yet. After watching that beatdown on Mulligan, I can say without a shadow of a doubt Iceman Parsons belongs with us. You all saw him as a fun loving dancing puppet. I see him for the man he is, and that man is a very dangerous individual. Also, I've made arrangements with Paul Jones and with a smile on my face, I can announce that the Dream Machine will be joining us as well. Think about it Resnick. Kerry Brown, Iceman Parsons and the Dream Machine! We'll rule this place! Who's going to stop us? Iceman: Have mercy! Commercial Break Footage from SuperClash is shown as El Canek defeats Giant Haystacks Resnick: What a match that was. I understand El Canek is back on a tour of Mexico but will be back in the AWA soon. On that note, the AWA is truly a global force as we have international stars from Japan, Mexico, Canada and debuting in the ring tonight, a team from the United Kingdom. Let's get to the ring. The British Bombers (Dave Taylor and Johnny Smith) vs. Carl Kellerman and William Hillman Smith is wearing blue wrestling pants with the Union Jack Flag on the back. His hair is pulled back in a ponytail. Taylor is wearing blue trunks with the Union Jack flag on the back. Bombers are aggressive and ruthless. Taylor swings Hillman to the ropes and puts him down with a spinning forearm blast. Taylor tags in Smith. Smith hoists Hillman on his shoulder and hits a running powerslam for the win! Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the pink neon "Beauty Shop" sign, then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody! Did you miss the Beauty Shop? (BOOOOOS) Yea, I didn't miss you! I don't care what anybody says, SuperClash wasn't all that. My guys Priceless were totally robbed. The worst part is George Wells has left the AWA and Gerry Morrow is missing. (Cheers) That's enough! Don't worry, I'll find Gerry. Well, there was something good that came out of SuperClash. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome out the new AWA National Tag team champs, Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez! Boos as Larry and Al walk out smiling. They each kiss Brenda's hand. Britton: Let me be the first to say congratulations guys. I'm so glad you won and not those Bruise Brothers. I mean, you guys are solid. A true tag team. Perez: Coming from you Brenda, that's a true compliment. Larry: You know, it's nice to finally talk to somebody with class, unlike that spudhead Resnick. Britton: Jeez, that guy's such a nerd. Now, I've been told that you guys will be defending the National titles against that dirty and grimy team Cabin Fever. My opinion is, they don't stand a chance against such a superior team like you. Larry: Very true and to the point. Cabin Fever are nothing but barroom brawlers. Al and I are a cohesive wrestling unit. We're going to carry these titles into 1987 and way beyond. Together we're a glorious team and Cabin Fever will be nothing but a blip on the radar. Britton: Spoken like true champions. What a delight this was. Until next week, toooodles! Commercial Break Gama Singh vs. Troy Rogers Gama simply outwrestles his opponent and finishes things off with the camel clutch. Resnick: Tremendous win for Gama Singh. I have to ask, where is your partner Makhan Singh? Gama: Makhan has left the AWA because of unfair treatment. That is why Karachi Vice was absent from SuperClash. Karachi Vice was the longest reigning USWA tag team champions. When we arrived in the AWA we received no opportunities whatsoever! I do not blame Makhan for leaving. Now, I heard Jimmy Snuka out here talking about taking down obstacles and wanting title matches. Snuka, I am an obstacle in your way and if anybody will get a title shot, it will be me! Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, with me right now is Nick Bockwinkle. Nick, you had a hard fought victory over Ron Garvin at SuperClash. Bock: It was hard fought and my respect to Ron Garvin. I believe that should be enough for a world title shot. That's been my goal and now it's time to accomplish it. Boos as Curt Hennig comes out. Hennig: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone. You're not the only one who got a big win at SuperClash. If anyone deserves a world title shot, it's me and not this old timer. Bock: To be young and dumb. I strongly suggest you watch your mouth young man. Just as Hennig walks forward, Jerry Jarrett comes out. Jarrett: Gentlemen, just relax. I've come up with something, I'm sure you both will like. Next week at the Jackson Coliseum, you two will have a match and the winner will wrestle Ricky Steamboat for the AWA world title, on New Year's Eve at the Mid South Coliseum. Good luck to both of you. Hennig: When your flawless like me, you don't need luck. Your time's up old man. Bock: I guess I have to prove myself one more time. Mr. Hennig, I promise you a defeat. Commercial Break The Diamond Aces (Art Crews and Timothy Flowers) w The Vin Man vs. Sam Smith and Frank Thompson The Diamond Aces come out wearing black vests. Crews has an Ace card on the back of his while Flowers has a diamond card on the back of his. Vin Man is wearing a Hawaiian shirt. The Diamond Aces hit a double rib breaker for the win! Vin Man cuts a promo and says his team should be the number one contenders to the world titles. Vin Man...Yea! Commercial Break The Olympians vs. The Union These teams had quite a brawl during the SuperClash battle royal as their rivalry continues. Solid seesaw battle as both teams look pretty good. Tempers flare and we get an all out brawl that leads to a double c.o. The bell rings but the teams keep fighting. Commercial Break Resnick: Fans, I'm not sure anything will ever get resolved between those teams. Switching gears, please welcome out the NEW AWA National Champ, Jerry "The King" Lawler! Massive cheers as Lawler (Bandaged head) comes out and holds up the National title. Resnick: Jerry, SuperClash was an epic night for you. You sent Austin Idol out of the AWA and you win the National title. I'm sure you're feeling pretty good right now. Look out! WHAM! Lawler is hit on the back by a chair from TOMMY RICH!!!! Tommy puts the boots to Lawler, then slams him on the concrete! Rich grabs the mic. Rich: Come on Lawler! Come on Lawler! Rich picks up Lawler and double arm DDTs him on the concrete! Lawler's head just thuds on the ground as the fans gasp. Resnick: We need help out here! Now! The show ends with a bloody and unconscious Jerry Lawler laying on the ground as officials and Security run out to help. Rich is laughing the entire time.

The Rich's/Sawyers feud will never get old. This is going to get crazy! Grappler gets his revenge on Scorpio. After the loss, Bass says goodbye and I'm sure he's taking Miss Betsy with him. Taylor does his job well as Furnas gets his biggest win to date over Billy Joe. Speaking of big wins, Adonis has been on a roll since his rebirth and now takes Bullet's sleeper away from him. In other words, goodnight Irene. I know Dundee took great pleasure in whipping Dirty Dutch. LOL, that visual of Fuller and Golden carrying Slick out of there cracked me up. Slick got THUMPED! First Thatcher gives Landel some bad news. Then, Cooley gets some bad news tonight as Allen returns! This is also bad news for Continental! The fans never know what's going to happen on the house shows, which will keep them coming.

Huge news indeed! Congratulations Kobayashi!

Atlas has a strong showing against Eaton. After that big win over Hansen, it's going to take a lot to stop the momentum of Simmons. OMG has drawn a lot of attention from Gary Hart. Well, after seeing Hase taken out on a stretcher, I'm sure Hart was impressed. Say it aint so! After one heck of a run, Gilbert and Missy say goodbye. I have to say, you built Gilbert into a superstar. Poor Rotundo, first OMG and then he's got to go up against Bubba. The newly crowned champions get in their first title defenses as British Steel and Barry Windham retain. Who is that guy heckling Rose? LOL, Rose is going to snap. Leduc is a good fit in Pacific. Especially if he goes with his lumberjack gimmick. I think Pillman and Muta probably stole the show. Hollywood Jack continues to rack up wins. Once again, the new champs retain after some stiff challenges.

AWA releases Giant Haystacks AWA picks up Johnny (Dynamite) Smith and Yoshiaki Yatsu

Continental gets its turn and takes some serious shots at Watts. Crazy to think that just a few weeks ago the entire NWA put together the historic world title tournament. My oh my have things changed. I'm very interested in who Continental will be doing business with in 1987. Bullet gets in one last verbal shot at Wildfire but now has a new enemy in Adrian Adonis. I think Bullet should have given Adonis his blessing for the sleeper. I mean, he did ask nicely. Goliath gets in a good squash, is Bugsy next? Bruno is feeling good until he's informed Taylor will be in the corner of Furnas. Very interesting. LOL, leave it to Slick to calm things down. He's sure confident of this new guy coming in. Slick's the man with a plan. HMMMMM, not like JYD and Olympia to play the silent role. What's going on? Landel's on a roll as he gets his shots in at Watts and calls out all the champions. I know Jerry Jarrett still watches this show. I think he might have to check Ricky Steamboat's schedule. Street's having a wonderful time gloating and messing with Cheeky. Things get real when Madril comes out and leaves Street a bloody mess. I knew this feud wasn't over. More money to be made. Digging the masked Scorpio. Dundee attacks Dutch and Taylor is pissed. Good thing Furnas calmed things down. Christmas Clash is going to end 86 on a high note. Dusty/Brody chain match and a Skywalkers match! Awesome!

Gordon is a very smart man and the Cartel is right. Good things happen to people that obey. Tatum seems to have a problem with Bob Zink LOL. Tempers flare and just like that another match is signed. With a Gordon eye roll, Is there anybody in the game more obnoxious than Tatum? Spoiler and Red better be ready for WAR. Highwaymen get an early advantage over the Glamour Boys. Luscious gives another weirder than weird promo but what creeped me out the most was him calling Duggan, the guy with the big wood. WOW. I could just see Gordon reacting to all this. To the Sports Arena, Estrada isn't satisfied with his win over Lightfoot and wants to burn him again! Thank goodness for the Islanders. He might be obnoxious but Tatum scores the win over Zenk. Cartel/Islanders feud turns up a notch as the Cartel help give the Blondes another title shot. Finally, somebody dodges the mist! Regal gets a crowd pleasing win over Kazaharu. Highwaymen and Glamour Boys whip the hell out of each other! Highwaymen win this round but the Boys seem to want another battle. YES! Love that finish as Backlund puts Luscious away. DAMN! The fans witnessed one of the craziest brawls ever! I thought Spoiler's elimination was brutal but Red might of killed Borne. This was insane! Props to you on this feud. Herc and Duggan really go at it in a pure hard hitting slugfest. Herc solidifies himself as champ with that tough win over Duggan. Now Herc must go from this to Backlund. Talk about devising a whole new game plan. Tremendous week Bleh!

This has been one hot topic! It's been great getting Watts, Crockett and Thatcher's sides of the story. No doubt about it, 1987 is going to be an exciting year for the game. The NWA is in very good hands. Keep up the outstanding work.

AWA releases Ox Baker, Don Kernodle and George Wells.

A lot of stories ended at Battleground and new ones begin tonight. Tony and Hector kick things off with a classic. St. Clair is doing quite well here. I'm very interested in seeing what's next for Cornette and Beautiful Bobby. After a couple of amazing runs in Pacific, Bigelow and Busick say goodbye. Doesn't get any classier than that. 1987 looks very bright for Black Tiger. After weeks of frustration Hollywood Jack and the Bomb Squad kick Smothers out, the hard way. Oh my! The Sheepherders have aligned with the Playboy Club. This is a game changer for Pacific.

Wow, the NWA is crumbling before our eyes. Defiantly the dawning of a new era. UWF is born and Watts goes off on Thatcher and the Crocketts. The Million Dollar Man is going to get massive heat here. However, he's got some heat coming after him named Dr. Death. I know Dibiase has back up but so does Williams. Good grief, Vader and Sullivan are going to wreak havoc on the UWF! I enjoyed the entire transformation of Leon. Pacific did him well. The RPMs are just begging for a beating. They better be careful because right now RnR are riding high. YES! I knew Ladd would be back! Watts better get ready. Only a matter of time before Gordy destroys Hayes. LOL! I wanted it and you gave me the "It's not my fault" line. Gotta love Jimmy Jam and Precious. So happy Reed is world champ again. Good call Watts. Reed will have a tremendous run. Looking forward to the UWF. A lot of exciting stuff going down.

AWA places Giant Haystacks, Dream Machine, Ranger Ross, Porkchop Cash and with great sadness Gerry Morrow on the block.

Moretti says she's ready but a threatening Richter looms. Show kicks off with a bang as we get NEW tag team champs! Giant Slayers take down the Monsters. After that backstage incident, could this be the end of the Monsters? Richter has now gone way off the deep end. Man, that was brutal. Mitchell and Misty might have stolen the show with that exciting match. Big win for Mitchell. Richter is a woman possessed as she lays out Moretti. She's on a rampage tonight. Velvet/Medusa vs. Martin/Kai is a woman's wrestling dream match. 20 minutes of action between 4 of the best. Yea, I would say the fans got their money's worth tonight with that one. Richter's back in the main event spot with Combs. I'll give Combs a lot of credit, it took 3 powerbombs to put her away. After one of the wildest nights I've ever seen by one wrestler, Richter caps it off by regaining the world title! WOW! What a night! All I can say is, I can't wait for the Richter/Moretti showdown. This is one of the hottest feuds in the game right now.

AWA presents Friday, November 26th St. Paul Civic Center Also available on closed circuit TV The camera pans over the sold out St. Paul crowd, then zooms down to the ring.

She smiles and waves to the crowd. As she's exiting the ring, Brenda Britton runs up to greet her but is held back by Linda's security. Linda gives Brenda a puzzled look like she has no idea who she is. Security quickly escorts Brenda away. Linda smiles and shrugs her shoulders then blows a kiss to all the fans. Lance Russell and Ken Resnick are wearing tuxedos by ringside. Lance: Hello everybody and welcome to SuperClash. Well Ken, the big night has finally arrived and boy do we have a tremendous night of action in store for all our great AWA fans. Ken: Indeed we do Lance. 14 All-Star bouts.

Cooley comes through with his promise and out fights Leatherface. After the best heel run in the game's existence, Tommy Rich is out of Continental. I bet that pop blew the roof off the place. It was only fitting that Bullet sent Rich packing. At least we got one last Rich promo before the match. I have a feeling Wildfire has a plan. Slick's Stable rides high yet again. Dundee has things going his way until that no good Dirty Dutch interferes. 2 on 1 until Cooley saves the day. Cooley's one solid dude. Another WARGAMES! Let's do it! This one gets bloody and insane quick. Everybody gets to shine and everybody takes a beating. I'm not sure how Madril is going to live this one down as his rival Street makes him submit. I'm glad you went that direction. Awesome card Gene!

I couldn't think of a better way to kick off Starrcade in Georgia with Charlie Daniels. Whoever booked this is a genius. Foley gets in his heat as Benoit opens the show with a win over Wright. Poor Brad. Just by showing up he loses his job in Continental. Then he gets ambushed by Radiance. Shenanigans give Jimmy Jam the win. Now's the perfect time for him to use his "It's not my fault" catchphrase LOL. I'll give US Steel credit, they made the most of their opportunity but they were in there with the Andersons. No shame. Crowd popping moment as Johnson retains and him and Murdoch send the Bad men packing. I agree, I know Watts loved this. I need a follow up Ladd promo LOL. That trash compacter through the table might be the finish of the night. NO WAY! Dibiase turns! Could this be the birth of the Million Dollar Man? Wait! There's more! Gordy runs out and the masks come off! And now Demolition is born. What a moment! I would love to see Nikita and Gordy go at it again and again. However, Gordy is going to be busy going after those no good Freebirds. I'm all for Gordy and Williams teaming up and wrecking havoc. WARGAMES! OH YEA! This was the bloody brawl I thought it would be and more. Sullivan goes to town with his golden spike but Luger gets the most satisfying win as he makes Sullivan submit. However, the evil Sullivan gets the last laugh with a wicked fireball to Luger's face. Another story begins. Great match. I had a funny feeling about the World title match and I can't believe it. I really thought Reed had it when Baby Doll hesitated. Then I remembered that when you mess with one horsemen you mess with 4. Throw Fergie into this and Tully is now the NWA world champion. I'm bummed out that Reed's reign ended this quick. The flip side is this sets up a new Horsemen dynamic. Very interesting. Great job NWA! Starrcade was a hit.

Night 2! Here we go. Rotunda tried hard but OMG is just to much. St. Clair and Muta was another key match I was looking forward to. These guys delivered and in the end my man St. Clair pulls it off. Brickhouse Brown felt the wrath of a focused Hollywood Jack. This could be the start of something big for Jack. Black Gold pull off an impressive win but the celebration is short lived as the Sheepherders return to town and give them a beating. Finlay and Tiger are both on their game tonight. Finlay is just able to pull out the win. Bam Bam and Avenger go at it full force. Happy ending as Bam Bam sends Avenger packing. Strange circumstances follow as Sullivan shows up to take Avenger home. I loved this entire arc. I remember when Sullivan took Leon White and I can only imagine what's next. Bigelow is now a true hero in Pacific. Gilbert and Orton are two guys I could watch wrestle forever. Glad Missy finally showed up and it looked like Eddie was to. Yamada/Hase-Guerreros might've stolen the show with that gem of a match. Nice win for the Guerreros. I know this catchphrase is years away but DAMN! Simmons and Hansen put on the ultimate hard hitting match. Tremendous win for Simmons! Simmons will be the guy to watch in 87. WHOA! I did not see that finish coming. British Steel put down the Midnights and win the titles! Condrey is gone and the Midnights are no more. I can't wait to hear Cornette's next promo. And the big question is what's next for Beautiful Bobby??? Main event time. Rose gets in his best heel tactics but Windham shows off his resiliency and hangs tough. Windham pins Rose and we have a NEW Pacific champ! This is fantastic because at this time, Windham was becoming one of the best in the world. Looking forward to his reign. Props to all your hard work. I might have to steal the 2 night thing. It works so well.

This is awesome! It's the perfect Starrcade for this era. Every match is must see. Nikita vs. Gordy is the ultimate hard hitting match up. WarGames will be off the charts. Bunkhouse match. Loser leaves town match. Money on the line. Title bouts. Everything you could ask for. I'm going to keep a close eye on the Reed/Tully world title match. I've just got a funny feeling about this one. Can't wait!
