Velvet's stock has really gone up during her TV title run. She'll get even more attention aligning with Medusa to go after the Monsters. The Medusa/Monsters storyline has been outstanding. Episodic television at its best. Nasty Girls up their game and after that outing might be in title contention. Nice booking with the 6 woman main event. Faces send the fans home happy. I knew Richter would be pissed at Kai LOL.

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 11-5-86 Lance Russell: Hello again everybody and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. SuperClash is upon us and Brenda Britton will host another update. National Tag Team Title tournament semi final match as the Bruise Brothers take on Karachi Vice. Also in action will be Ox Baker's Beasts of Burden and Billy Jack Haynes, Scott Putski, The Dream Machine, El Canek, Jerry Lawler and Carlos Colon. Big main event as Vin Man's Family teams with Curt Hennig to take on Brian Adias, Gold Standard and Crusher Blackwell. That and so much more, so lets go to the ring as the King kicks things off. Jerry "The King" Lawler vs. Todd Rooney Lawler gets the fans up and cheering as he bounces up and down on the middle ropes and crashes down with a fist drop for the win! Resnick: Jerry Lawler, at SuperClash, it's you and Austin Idol in a NO DQ, NO C.O. match for the National title. I know it was a long road but here you are. Lawler: Idol threw everything he could at me including a fireball but he failed miserably. With these stipulations, I can do whatever I want to Idol and he can't run away and take the easy way out. At SuperClash, Idol's going down and the National title is going around my waist. Commercial Break The Thunderfoots vs. Jay Ricketts and Ernie Ellis It's announced during commentary that the Thunderfoots will be competing in the SuperClash tag team battle royal. Thunderfoot #1 loads his boot as Thunderfoot #2 body slams Ricketts. Thunderfoot #2 tags in #1. Ricketts gets to his knees as Thunderfoot #1 kicks him in the head with the loaded boot for the pin! Commercial Break Scott "Powerhouse" Putski vs. Vic Dutro Putski gets things done and wins the match with a powerslam! Resnick: Scott Putski, tremendous opportunity at SuperClash when you meet Greg Gagne for the TV title. You've already scored a pin and c.o. victories over him so you must be feeling pretty good. Putski: I'm feeling great Ken and I can tell you I've never been more focused in my life... Boos as Gagne and Johnny V stroll out. Gagne is decked out in his best golf clothes with sweater around his neck along with his Gatsby hat. Johnny: Listen up Punkski! My main man has come out here to give you a reality check. Gagne: (holds up his TV title) This right here proves that I am the greatest wrestler on TV. Yea, you must be on cloud 9 right now. I mean you got a couple fluke wins over the Great Gagne. Hey, anybody would want to brag about that unbelievable accomplishment. But let me clue you in on something Punkski. When this title is on the line, when it really matters, the Great Gagne will prevail. I'm the legend here and you're still a green horned punk, who still has a lot to learn. But you hang in there kid. Gagne gives Putski a couple light slaps on the cheek. Putski pushes Gagne and Gagne falls backwards as the fans cheer and laugh. Johnny V is stunned and goes to help Gagne up and take him out of there. Putski looks at the ground and picks up Gagne's Gatsby hat. Putski puts it on and pumps his fist to the cheering crowd. Commercial Break National Tag Team Tournament Semi-Final Match The Bruise Brothers vs. Karachi Vice Things get hard hitting pretty quick when Karachi Vice attacks the Bruise Brothers at the bell. The Ref shows a lot of leniency as both teams go toe to toe. Snowman slams Gama to the mat with authority. Makhan picks up Cash for a body slam. Snowman pushes Cash's back as Makhan staggers and falls over Gama with Cash on top 1..2..3! WOW! Huge pop! The Bruise Brothers advance to the finals at SuperClash! Commercial Break Billy Jack and The Beasts of Burden w/Ox Baker vs. Sam Smith, Willie Lopez and Ray Glader Total destruction! Beasts clothesline Glader and Lopez off the apron. They swing Smith to the ropes and hit stereo big boots to the head! Billy Jack picks up Smith and clamps on the full nelson as the Ref quickly signals for the bell. Billy continues to hold Smith as Ox gets in the ring. Ox puts Smith down with the heart punch! Ox tells Billy to pick him up again. The Ref is warning him but the Beasts shove the Ref down. The crowd explodes as Jimmy Snuka and Cabin Fever hit the ring! Fists are flying! Snuka grabs Billy and Ox and knocks their heads together. Both men tumble through the ropes. Grizzly sends Nord through the ropes with a running shoulder block. Manny sends Morgan bouncing out of the ring with the flying burrito! The fans are on their feet cheering as Snuka and Cabin Fever stand tall. Commercial Break Resnick: My goodness that was something else. Snuka and Cabin Fever look to be more than ready for their handicap tornado match at SuperClash! Switching gears, as you all know the Rock n Roll Express and Fabulous Ones have been involved in a best of 7 series. The Fabs now hold a 3-2 lead. Match 6 takes place this weekend at the Rupp Arena. Coming out now are the Fabulous Ones. Keirn: Resnick! You and all these people can rest assured the Fabs are putting this series away this weekend! Resnick: I'm not so sure. The Rock n Roll Express have been hanging tough and... Lane: Stop right there! The Fabs don't choke. Those Fab wannabes might think they can come back but we've always been one step ahead. Keirn: Resnick, if you're smarter than you look you better bet on the Fabs. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing "SuperClash" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to another SuperClash update with yours truly. Oh my SuperClash is the talk of the wrestling world and I would have to say, I'm a large part of that. I mean I'm the one bringing you all the biggest scoops. For instance, last week I'm the one who announced the huge signing of Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami. Who by the way will be competing in the 100,000 dollar tag team battle royal. The winners will also receive a world tag title shot later that night. I think the winners will have to be satisfied with the money because my favorite team Priceless is walking out of SuperClash with the titles. Speaking of the champs, let's hear from them right now. I believe they're on location at one of Gerry's private beaches. Priceless are sitting on the beach wearing sunglasses and being massaged by some beautiful woman. There's a beach attendant in front of them shining their tag team titles. Wells: Gerry, I wonder what all the poor people are doing today? Morrow: Hahahaha! Who cares. George, you know what strikes me funny? At SuperClash all those inferior teams will fight it out for a shot at our prestigious titles. Wells: As if they have a chance. Morrow: Exactly. While they are fighting we can just sit back and relax. Dis will be de easiest money we've ever made. Enough about dat. Morrow snaps his fingers and tells one of the woman to break open a bottle of champagne. The segment ends with Priceless toasting to a SuperClash victory. Britton: (Smiling) I love those guys! Another match signed for SuperClash is the special challenge match between Iceman Parsons and Don Kernodle. Last week we heard Number One's reasons on why he challenged Parsons. Right now lets here from the Iceman. Parsons is standing in front of a SuperClash banner. Parsons: Don Kernodle, I have no idea what your problem is with me but brother I am more than willing to settle whatever dispute you have in the ring. I heard you call'n me a clown and a dancing fool. Yea, I like to bring the energy and have a good time but when that bell rings I'm all business. At SuperClash you're going to find that out! Britton: We'll see who's the better man come SuperClash. It all goes down on Friday November 26th from the St. Paul Civic Center. And don't forget, singing the national anthem will be a star almost as big as me, Linda Ronstadt. What a night it will be. Until next week toooodles. Commercial Break El Canek vs. Arnie Goldstein Canek amazes the fans with both his technical skills and high flying maneuvers. Canek then shows off his power as he presses Goldstein over his head and into a backbreaker for the win! There's a commotion as Giant Haystacks walks out. Haystacks walks around the ring staring up at Canek. Canek pumps his fists and invites Haystacks in the ring. Haystacks slowly climbs the steps and enters the ring. The fans cheer as Canek and Haystacks stare each other down. Haystacks lets out a roar and charges! Both men throw bombs at each other. Several officials and prelim wrestlers hit the ring to break it up. Both Haystacks and Canek are tossing bodies around. They start hitting each other again. More wrestlers and security hit the ring. A commercial hits while bodies are flying everywhere. Commercial Break Austin Idol is standing in front of a SuperClash banner with the National title on his shoulder. His neck is bandaged up. Idol: Lawler! I will never forgive you for what you did! Look at my neck! At SuperClash I'm going to pull out every dirty trick I have and unleash it on you! You don't have the advantage here! I do! I'm going to make sure you never show your ugly face in the AWA again! The Dream Machine w/Paul Jones vs. Neil Jordan Dream puts Jordan down with a back elbow smash and follows with a jumping elbow drop for the win! Jones tosses Dream the bull rope. Dream wraps it around Jordan's neck and chokes him. Jones runs in and gives Jordan a few kicks for the fun of it. Resnick: Paul Jones, Dream Machine. Why do that? What's the point? Jones: The point, you idiot is to give Blackjack Mulligan a message! That old washed up fool thinks he's going to beat Dream in the bull rope match and get a 5 minute bull rope match with me! That will never happen Mulligan! Never! Never! Never! Resnick: Ok, calm down. Dream: Shut up Resnick! Mulligan, no way in hell you're getting through me at SuperClash! You saw what I'm capable of doing with this here bull rope and at SuperClash I'm going to beat you at your own game. That's a fact babay! Don't worry about a thing Paul. Commercial Break Crusher Blackwell, Gold Standard and "Lonestar" Brian Adias vs. "Diamond" Tim Flowers, "Ace" Art Crews, "Pitbull" Kerry Brown and Curt Hennig w/Vin Man Wild 8 man tag that goes back and forth several times. Chaos ensues as Brown and Blackwell fight on the outside. Kelly and Crews fight in the corner. Kiniski and Flowers fight in the opposite corner. Adias back drops Hennig. Vinnie gets on the apron and rakes Kiniski's eyes. Adias runs over and knocks Vinnie off the apron. Hennig sneaks up from behind and lowblows Adias, then cradles him as the Ref turns around, runs over and counts 1..2..3! BOOOOOO! Commercial Break Carlos Colon vs. William Hillman Colon is very aggressive tonight and gives Hillman a beating. Colon wins the match with a flying clothesline from the top rope. Massive boos for Colon. Resnick: Carlos Colon, tensions are at an all time high as SuperClash approaches. You and Ricky Steamboat for the AWA world title. I should point out that Ricky Steamboat is back on track and will be in action next week. Colon: How dare you! This is my time and you bring up Ricky Steamboat! Maybe I should teach you a lesson in respect that your parents never taught. Colon walks angrily towards Resnick. Resnick sets the mic on the apron and takes off. Colon grabs the mic. Colon: Steamboat! Look into my eyes! I have never been more focused in my life. I told you that I have learned if you want something around here you just have to take it. I want the AWA world title and at SuperClash I will take it! You can't stop me Steamboat! You don't have what it takes. The past two years I have fought wars with the most vicious savages in the world. I am ready! You can not handle what is coming. You have no idea what your dealing with. You will be defeated!

Fun set of spot shows. These were the perfect places for guys like Furnas, Starr and New Breed to showcase themselves. Big win for Taylor over Bass to retain his TV title. However, Slick continues to prove his worth as he helps Dutch beat the TV champ in a non title match. Johnny and Davey continue to be thorns for Wildfire. Even though they came up short, always good seeing the Grapplers in action.

Looking forward to seeing what the British Magician can do in Mid Atlantic. Good seeing Bassarab racking up wins. I enjoyed writing for him and loved his work in Stampede. Renegade Warriors continue their hot streak. Posse get the best of the Brutha's this round. Bart and Link is one hell of a fight! Luger found the right partner with Wahoo to battle the Spectral Hand.

I knew Cobra would give Prichard some trouble. Maybe next time we'll get an extended time limit. Damn, Billy Joe starts things off by whacking Brad over the head with his guitar. He's started something big here, messing with the Armstrong's. Things get more interesting as Madril interferes and takes out Street. Grappler gets the shot. Madril is pretty good with those brass knuckles as he gets his money back. Cooley makes the most of the axe handle and puts down Jason. Well, Tommy tried but couldn't dodge the Bullet tonight. Cousin Rich's get some payback as does Bullet. Can't wait to see what Wildfire does next. They don't call him Dirty Dutch for nothing. I'm sure Dundee will find some friends quick. Madril tries again but Street puts a stop to it as Olympia DDTs his way over Grappler. Sherri doesn't like to lose! Another big Continental swerve! Slick is a mastermind. The new Stud Stable is going to rule Continental. I can't wait for more Landel/Slick conversations. Pure Gold! It amazes me that you can put out huge cards like this week after week.

Thank you Pacific for signing a personal dream match with St. Clair vs. Muta at Battleground. TNT is taking Pacific by storm! Owen and Snow get a chance to showcase all their talent and give the fans a classic. With that win over the Guerreros, the Odd Couple defiantly have the momentum. Windham looks focused and ready for Rose. Windham vs. Rose has potential to be a match of the year candidate.

I couldn't wait for this show and man did it deliver! The AWA has Linda Ronstadt coming in and tonight the NWA scores a young Whitney. Nice touch. That 1st round was filled with the best of the best. Reed defeating Dibiase and Flair winning the battle of the Nature Boys were highlights. That Savage/Snake match is ring psychology at its best. Tully gets over on Harley, thanks to Baby Doll. Bad News and Murdoch eliminate each other. Olympia defeats fellow fan favorite BA and a handshake follows. Nikita with a devastating finish on Taylor. And of course that hated Tommy Rich advances. STARRCADE is coming! A Thanksgiving tradition. Savage and Tully are out. Tommy is bringing the heat. OH SNAP! Reed takes down tournament favorite Ric Flair! Pretty Paul helps his man Embry retain. Downtown is going to want some payback. Reed is on a roll! Damn, he took out Nikita. Tommy gets a heel heated bye. What a classy guy giving the fans a heartfelt promo like that. Andersons are the new NWA World Champs! They backed up all the talk. Bad night for Dibiase. I wonder if there will be friction between him and Williams after that finish. Reed vs. Rich for all the marbles. I loved this because Reed is one of the most loved and over faces in the game while Tommy has got to be the most hated and despised heel in the game. 3 spears later and Reed is the NEW NWA world champ! That is one satisfying ending. Reed deserves this and I can't wait to watch his run. Congratulations Butch Reed! Awesome job NWA!

I wish Madril a speedy recovery but hey we're going to get the Exotic Garden tonight. Dundee and Dutch promise one more match with the Stud Stable before moving on. Speaking of the Stud Stable, Col Slick has arrived and is totally all up in his new gimmick. Fullers and Golden's reactions were priceless. This is going to be so entertaining! YES!!!! The New Breed is coming! I got chills hearing the Beastie Boys. Man, this brings back memories. 2002 baby! Grappler promises to win the 4 corners match and take down Olympia. Once again, that is the best 1st round matches I've ever seen lined up in a tournament. Bullet thinks he has the advantage over Wildfire but Tommy always has a plan. Sherri says her Super Ds will be champs and Prichard will retain. IDK, Prichard will have his hands full with Cobra and never underestimate the Nightmares. LOL! Well it looks like Madril has some serious competition. Street and Linda were gold and Tommy Rich made all this even better. Tommy Rich winning the NWA world title would be the run of a lifetime in this game. I could only imagine. These Doug Furnas packages have been damn good. LOL, it doesn't get better than Landel and Slick bantering. I have no idea where this is all going but I'm going to enjoy the ride. Stomper made Taylor earn that win. Will Taylor have enough left for the tournament? Halloween Havoc is upon us!

Highwaymen kick things off with a stern warning for the Glamor Boys. Beach Boy's win streak continues but will it remain when he hooks up with Kazaharu? "Hollywood" Tatum debuts and we're talk'n Hollywood California LOL. He's going to be such a heat magnet in Florida. Tatum also had the best facial expressions. Solie apologizing afterwards gets this over even more. WOW! Sawyer and Borne may have finally met their match. Spoiler and Texas Red are together again! Good and Plenty are having a good time and want the belts. Poor Bucky Blevins didn't stand a chance. Herc tunes up for Duggan as these two will meet in a chain match! OK, here we go! Highwaymen cheat their way to the finals. I'm sure they savored that win over their long time rivals. Good and Plenty give the fans something to cheer about as they advance over the ever so popular Fabulous Blondes. Well, Beach Boy had a good streak going until Kaz put him to sleep. Whoa, Spoiler throwing the table on Sawyer's head might be the visual of the night! What a brawl! I'm sure the fans loved Tatum's win over Special Delivery. Islanders win the special challenge match. In the end, Santana chooses his partner over Humperdink. Duggan and Herc was the fight I thought it would be and more. This was hard hitting! How did I not see this coming as Akbar comes out and helps Herc get the win. I think we're just getting warmed up. The night couldn't of ended on a better note. Glamor Boys get some serious payback and help Good and Plenty win the titles! Highwaymen are going to be so pissed. This adds yet another layer to this epic feud. So now do we get to see Solie dance with the new champs? Amazing week Bleh!

Really good go home show. Love the picture additions. Sullivan's new henchman Missing Link has an impressive debut. LOL, Flair and Tully on the golf course is Horsemen arrogance at its best. Macho Man cuts an intense promo and is ready to win the tournament. Gary Royal has taken a liking to Pretty Paul. Looks like the start of something. I like how you give your lower card guys something to do. Good way to build future stars. Man that Ole just knows how to get under people's skin. Things almost get physical which builds more tension. Good job with the battle royal. Kamala went on a terror and I thought he was going all the way. In the end, Jake slithers his way into the tournament. Halloween Havoc is all set!

Nice touch with the newspaper headline. It took literally everything to put Reed down. I liked Reed's reaction as he knows he needs to focus on the NWA world title tournament.

The woman are into the Halloween theme tonight! Star Girls kick things off with a bang as they put down Richter and Peggy Lee. Well, we knew it was coming and it did as Richter gives her now former partner a beating. Moretti gets a tougher than expected challenge from Winona but retains her dual titles. Will she have enough left for Combs? Oh yea this cage match had a ton of build and the teams deliver. I think we might get more after that finish. That was a fight! Velvet and Medusa get the DQ win but the Monsters get in some serious blows. Moretti and Combs give the fans 30 action packed minutes. WOW! Combs does the unthinkable and wins the title! What a feel good moment!

OMG! Look at those first round match ups! Battle of the Nature Boys!

AWA TV @ The Hammond Center 10-29-86 Lance Russell: Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of AWA Major League Wrestling. Tonight you will see a National tag team title semi final match as The Olympians square off against Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez. Priceless will be here for a world tag team title defense. Ron Garvin will be in action as will Blackjack Mulligan, Don Kernodle, Brian Adias, Iceman Parsons, Kerry Brown and Giant Haystacks. Big time main event as the Rock n Roll Express will take on The Fabulous Ones in match 5 of the best of 7 series. The Fabs have a 3-1 lead and look to wrap this up tonight. Brenda Britton will be here with another SuperClash update. After a wild night in Milwaukee, Jerry Lawler has earned a National title match with Austin Idol. We'll show you footage from Milwaukee followed by comments from Lawler and Idol. Right now I want to take you to footage from the big SuperClash press conference that was held earlier this week in St. Paul. St. Paul Minnesota Sitting behind a long table is Ricky Steamboat (with the AWA world title in front of him), a couple AWA board members, Verne Gagne, Jerry Jarrett, a couple AWA board members and Carlos Colon. Members of the press are packed inside. Jarrett: On behalf of Verne Gagne and the AWA, we want to thank all of you for coming out. As you know, on Friday November 26th, the AWA will present SuperClash. The main event will be Ricky Steamboat defending the AWA world title against Carlos Colon. I will now open the time up for questions. Reporter: Ricky, how's the neck? Will you be 100% by SuperClash? Steamboat: Luckily there was no permanent damage and so yes, I will be 100% ready to go. Reporter: Ricky, will you be mentally prepared? Especially after what Carlos Colon did to you. Steamboat: I honestly believe that wasn't the Carlos Colon I knew. I think he had a lot of built up frustration and it was just to much. Colon: (Interrupting) Are you saying I snapped and lost it? Are you saying I went crazy? Let me tell you and all these disrespectful people out here something. I've never been more focused in my life and have never had this much clarity. I did what I did to send a message. Obviously it worked because here I am. Ricky Steamboat, the hard part is over. I got my shot and now all I have to do is defeat you and the AWA world title will be mine! Steamboat: Hold on one second. Yes, you got my attention with that cowardly act but now you have to face me man to man. What you did will not get you this title. So Carlos, the hard part is not over. It hasn't even started. Reporter: Ricky... Colon: (Cuts him off and stands up) You see what I mean! All you leeches want to talk to Ricky. Nobody is showing me the proper respect that I deserve! Come SuperClash, I'm going to beat Ricky Steamboat and take my respect. Steamboat: You want some respect Carlos? Come and get it! Colon angrily walks towards Ricky. Ricky stands up. Verne, Jerry and several members of security get in between. Colon points and shouts to Steamboat. Steamboat nods and motions for Colon to come closer. Commercial Break Iceman Parsons vs. Clinton Stitch Parsons comes down the aisle as "Beat It" blasts over the speakers. Parsons is on fire tonight and wins the match with the Booty Bump! "Beat it" plays as the fans clap while Parsons dances. Commercial Break "Number One" Don Kernodle vs. Todd Rooney Kernodle is all business and wins the match with a reverse neckbreaker Resnick: Don Kernodle, I understand you've decided to speak to me today. I do want to ask. You issued a special challenge match to Iceman Parsons at SuperClash. What is your motive here? Kernodle: (Long pause) I came to the AWA because I heard all the top wrestlers were here. Well, when I arrived, you know what I saw? I saw a dancing clown name Iceman Parsons. What he does is an embarrassment to this sport. I had to do something about it. I'm going to teach him a lesson and that happens at SuperClash. And he won't be dancing when I get done with him. Commercial Break Giant Haystacks vs. Sam Smith and Arnie Goldstein Haystacks destroys both men, then slams Goldstein down. Picks up Smith and slams him on Goldstein. Haystacks backs up and hits a big elbow drop for the easy pin. Resnick: Giant Haystacks, that was nothing short of devastating. At SuperClash, you and El Canek will meet in a colossal rematch. This all started back in April. Will SuperClash finally be the end? Haystacks: Did you just see what I did?! You ask me if SuperClash will be the end? It will be the end of El Canek! I promise you! Haystacks storms out of there. Resnick: Ok, there you have it....wait a minute, it looks like Gino Brito Jr. and Richard Charland are coming over. Gentlemen, is there something you want to say? Brito: Resnick, because the Wrecking Machine likes you so much, we wanted you to be the first to hear our big announcement. At SuperClash, myself and Richard Charland are going to enter the tag team battle royal. It's easy money and then the world titles will be ours. What a night it will be. They exit as Charland bumps Resnick. Commercial Break National Tag Team Title Tournament Semi Final Match The Olympians vs. Larry Zbyszko and Al Perez Pretty good evenly fought match. The Olympians frustrate Larry and Al by combining Rheingans technical skills and Bill's brute power. Larry and Al show off some good chemistry as well. A few minutes in and Olympians have control as Rheingans hits a gut wrench suplex on Perez and tags in Bill. Bill swings Perez to the ropes and clamps on the bear hug! Boos as The Union come out and yank Rheingans from the apron. Union pound away on Rheingans. Ross holds Rheingans as Huber picks up his sledgehammer and nails Rheingans in the gut! Union get out of there. Bill doesn't see what's going on as he continues to wrench away on Perez with the bearhug. Larry goes to the top rope and crashes down on Bill with a double axehandle. Larry and Perez hoist Bill up and double suplex him. Larry goes to his corner as Perez favors his back and tags him in. Larry runs in and executes a swinging neckbreaker on Bill 1..2..3! Larry Z and Al Perez advance to the finals at SuperClash Commercial Break "Rugged" Ron Garvin vs. Neil Jordan Garvin back drops Jordan and waits. Jordan staggers up and Garvin puts him down with a KO punch for the win. Resnick: Fans, earlier Larry Z and Al Perez advanced to the finals albeit with help from the Union. I understand Brad Rheingans is in the back with our medics. What an unfortunate incident. Ok, my guest at this time is Nick Bockwinkle. Nick, I know you're upset about not getting another world title bout and I can understand that. However I do disagree with you about you stating the lack of competition here in the AWA. Bock: Frankly I don't care if you disagree with me. It is a known fact that there isn't any AWA competition that's worth my time. I am a former world champion and I must say, the most technically gifted wrestler in the AWA. Nobody is in my league. Cheers as Ron Garvin walks out. Garvin: You know Nick, I've been listening to you and I have a solution. Since we both don't have a match at SuperClash, how about I give you some competition? Bock: (smiles) Are you seriously requesting a match with me? Didn't you just come up short in your bid for the National title? Why should I take you seriously? Garvin: Well, didn't you come up short in your world title bid? Maybe we both have something to prove. Bock: (ponders this) Mr. Garvin, you bring up a valid point. I will indeed accept your challenge. Garvin extends his hand Garvin: May the best man win Bock shakes his hand. Bock: I intend to do just that. Commercial Break The camera zooms in on the glowing "SuperClash" sign then pans down to Brenda Britton. Britton: Hi everybody and welcome to the SuperClash update by yours truly. Oh boy do I have some bombshell matches to announce. After what went down in Milwaukee, Austin Idol will defend his National title against Jerry Lawler. I understand this match will be under NO DQ, NO C.O. rules. You all saw last week when Kerry Brown attacked Jerry Blackwell. Those two have signed to meet at SuperClash. Here's a big one. Blackjack Mulligan will face The Dream Machine in a bullrope match aaannnd if Mulligan wins he gets a 5 minute bullrope match with Paul Jones. Also, The Great Gagne will defend his TV title against Scott Putski. I have comments from the TV champ himself. Let's hear them now. Gagne and Johnny Valiant are standing in front of a SuperClash banner. Valiant: Scott Punkski, you have to be the luckiest man walking the face of the earth. Gagne: Listen up Punkski! You got a couple lucky wins but let me tell you something right now, when this title is on the line this pro is coming to play. Our match will separate the pros from the greenhorns. Britton: My money's on Gagne. That's not it. Just listen to this announcement. The AWA has signed Japan's two top stars. Jumbo Tsuruta and Tatsumi Fujinami will team up and compete in the 100,000 dollar battle royal and don't forget, the winners get a world title shot later that night. Just remember, I have all the biggest scoops in the world. Until next week tooooodles. Commercial Break AWA World Tag Team Title Bout Priceless (C) vs. ??? Boos as Priceless enter the ring wearing black suits, sunglasses and fedora hats. They hold up their titles as Morrow grabs the announcer's mic. Morrow: AHHH so good to be back in de ring. We want to get dis over with because we are on a never ending celebration. Tonight out of de kindness of our hearts, we will defend our prestigious world titles against a top rank team. You may announce them. A confused reaction as Vic Dutro and Willie Lopez walk out. During the match it's very noticeable that Priceless have put on some weight and look very sluggish. Dutro and Lopez even give them some scares. In the end Morrow(from the apron) nails Dutro with a forearm to the back as Wells finishes him off with a spear. Resnick: It looks to me like the champs may be partying a bit to much. They better be ready come SuperClash when they have to defend the titles against the battle royal winners. Commercial Break "Lone Star" Brian Adias vs. Carl Kellerman Adias looks crisp tonight and wins the match with a Russian Legsweep. Adias cuts a promo and says he beat Hennig once and he'll do it again, man to man at SuperClash! Commercial Break Blackjack Mulligan vs. William Hillman Mulligan wins the match with a diving back elbow smash! Mulligan grabs his bullrope and heads to ringside. Resnick: Ok Blackjack, you and Dream Machine in a bullrope match at SuperClash and if you win you get a 5 minute bullrope match with Paul Jones. Mulligan: (Gripping his bullrope) I warned you Paul Jones! I can't wait for SuperClash! I'm going to wrap this around Dream's neck and choke the life out of him and then I'm going to do worse to you Jones! I hope you both hear me loud and clear! Commercial Break Resnick: I'm joined by Vinnie Valentino and his family (Timothy Flowers and Art Crews) I understand we're going to see your new acquisition momentarily in the ring. Vin: Oh Rezzy, I told you a Pitbull was coming and I told you we were going after the biggest in the AWA. Last week everybody saw what he did to Jerry Fatwell. And there's more to come at SuperClash.

Commercial Break Footage from Milwaukee is shown as Idol tries to use a fireball but Lawler kicks it in the side if Idol's head for the win. Lance: Before we get to our main event, I wanted to take you to comments by Austin Idol and then I'll be speaking with Jerry Lawler. Idol is in a medical facility. Idol: Look at my neck! (Neck has burn marks) Lawler! You did this! You animal! You scarred me! I swear on everything that matters to me, at SuperClash I'm going to make sure you never show your face in the AWA again! I swear it! Lance: Very heated words from Austin Idol. I'm here with Jerry Lawler. Jerry, you get your National title shot at SuperClash and it will be a No DQ, No C.O. match. I know things have escalated to an all time high between you two and with these stipulations, this match will be brutal. Lawler: Hey, that idiot Idol brought the fire and it literally backfired. Idol is a coward which is why I requested the No DQ, No C.O. stipulations. Idol! We're going to fight it out the old fashion way. You can't run and you can't hide. Nothing can save your ass this time! Commercial Break Match 5 of the Best of 7 series- Fabs lead 3-1 The Rock n Roll Express vs. The Fabulous Ones The action is at an all time high. The Fabs are trying desperately to put the series away but RnR are hanging tough. After several pier six brawls and a few minutes later, another brawl breaks out. Keirn is pounding away on Morton in the corner while Lane is going to town on Gibson. The Fabs swing RnR towards each other but RnR reverse it and swing the Fabs into each other. Fabs stumble back. RnR hit stereo atomic drops! The Fabs collide and stumble back as RnR dropkick them back into each other. Morton rolls up Keirn 1..2..3! Huge Pop!

MACW continues to deliver some outstanding house shows. Renegade Warriors and Andersons defiantly gave the fans a special attraction. Damn! Flair vs. Savage in a cage! JJ is really earning his money. "Pretty" Paul arrives. Rockers get back on the winning track by taking down the Russians. That Nikita/Bart match must of been hard hitting. Harts are having a pretty good run. I would've gotten my money's worth with that tag bullrope match. Well, Gaylord's streak comes to an end at the hands of Tully. No shame in that. LOL, I guess I can't blame the Andersons for walking out. Looked like the Road Warriors had their number.

Bigelow looks strong. Can he keep that up against Masked Avenger? Looks like the Thundercats are not quite heel enough. Black Tiger is becoming a star in Pacific. I wonder what's going on with Badd Co.? Windham takes down number 1 henchman Easy Ed. After a pretty damn good feud we get a steel cage blow off. Oh man I thought St. Clair had it but the ever clever Rose pulls out all the tricks for the win. I'm seriously looking forward to the Hector/Pillman battleground match. All 3 Guerreros are on a win streak. Trouble brewing between Smothers and Hollywood Jack. I have a feeling the Bomb Squad might be branching out soon. That 6 man tag team draw had the fans on the edge of their seats. Bubba and Brian go hard for the TV title and then Chris Adams plays spoiler. Adams vs. Adams coming up. Things are really heating up for San Diego Battleground.

As always, Continental delivers a fun and entertaining tournament. The Great Al Madril and Slink get some payback on Pride. Things get heated between Slick and Fuller but they seemed to resolve things by Golden's match. Billy Joe Travis had a pretty good run until he met Olympia's DDT. I knew those Rich's wouldn't leave Bullet alone. Nightmares win the titles!!! But wait, there's more. Tommy goes nuts and takes out his cousins. Could this be the end of the Rich's? Or maybe the beginning of a Tommy Rich NWA world title run. Olympia defeats Golden to win the Southeastern title! Nice touch with the belly to belly suplex and JYD coming out to congratulate him. The Olympia/Stubbs storyline has been one of the best in the game. Great night of action! Can't wait for Halloween Havoc!

Condrey gets some momentum going heading into San Diego. I think Orton has a pretty good plan here by getting under Gilbert's skin before their big showdown. Badd Co. really had a hard time without Missy. Cameron gets the best of Gantner in a brutal match. I had no idea who would win the battle royal. A lot of personal vendettas clashing. Windham overcomes the odds and sends OMG over the top to earn a shot at the title. Rose vs. Windham...OH YEA! Another 2 night extravaganza coming up. Damn, look at those matches signed. This is going to be AWESOME!

WOW! The Halloween Havoc tournament is for all the marbles! Winner walks out with the NWA World title! That's not it as a new Southeastern champ will be crowned on Monday. Chicky's Corporation is suspended. When they return, they'll have The American Dream waiting for them. LOL! I knew Slick and the Fullers would be gold together. I can't wait to see the suit Slick buys. Dundee is pumped up and ready for the tournament and Jimmy Golden. AWWWW Man, I really wanted to hear a song by Billy Joe. "Just a" swinging neckbreaker, nice touch. Bullet is a favorite to win the tournament unless the Rich's get in his face. It's not everyday somebody gets the better of Al in a verbal battle but Street accomplishes it. I'm sensing this isn't over. Not a bad week for Tyree. Desperados get the lashes and I'm sure the Nightmares loved every minute. Where was Bruno? Nice hype vignette of Furnas. These always did a great job of introducing new faces to the territory. Fun lottery surprise as Tom Zenk gets the TV title shot. The tag partners go the limit and follow with good sportsmanship.

Very classy statement from Watts. "Rock n Roll" Rock n Roll" Rock n Roll" RPM's getting some nuclear heat. Both Freebirds qualify for the battle royal. However, Jimmy Jam has a serious distraction on his hands. Jake takes a beating but DDT's his way to the battle royal. Ladd once again brings up valid points and gets his fine doubled for it. LOL, I never get tired of the Ladd/Watts saga. Adnan and the Superstars owe Fergie a percentage for that win. Gordy advances as chaos ensues! Crippler's in big trouble with Casey on his tail. As for Kendo and Tojo, it looks like Casey has some hard hitting friends backing him up. Whoever wins the stacked battle royal, defiantly earns their spot in the tournament.

Savanah superkicks his way to another win. Spivey's powerbomb is devastating. Hart's and Brutha's are at a stalemate. Nobody gets up from Kamala's Air Africa and it takes a lot to put Jaggers down. The mist strikes again. Thanks to Foley's helmet, the Commonwealth pull out a big win over the Rockers. Oh man, I had a bad feeling about this. Sullivan comes prepared as a new goon helps him win the TV title. I hope MACW television is ready for this reign of terror. The fans get their money's worth with a classic Tully/Harley 45 minute draw.

SD Jones gets the crowd hopping with an energetic win. SD will thrive here. The semi finals are set. Glamor Boys hype up their match with longtime rivals, the Highwaymen. I'm so glad both teams found their way to Florida. Looks like Perez is in hot water with Humperdink and Santana. I think Perez might of bitten off more than he can chew by challenging the SPC. Kazaharu is quickly making a name for himself here. Akbar is playing a huge role in that. LOL, Solie getting a little sassy. The Fabulous Blondes make an appearance! Ripper and Chick Magnet. The Blonde train. Man, these guys are great. Their match with Good and Plenty is going to rock! WHOA! Things get serious as Sawyer and Borne give Spoiler a brutal beating! These two are running wild! Who will be brave enough step up to them? Good ol Hacksaw Duggan ends the show on a high note by challenging Herc to a chain match. That match will sell out an arena for sure. Florida is settling in nicely.

AWA @ The Milwaukee Auditorium 10-24-86 "Number One" Don Kernodle defeated Steve O with a Reverse Neckbreaker Giant Haystacks defeated 3 Local Talents when he piled them up and crashed down with a big elbow drop Lightning Strike and The Union battled to a 10 minute draw "Rugged" Ron Garvin defeated "The Wrecking Machine" Richard Charland w/Gino Brito- Gavin hit a sunset flip from the top rope to get the pin. Afterwards Brito tried to attack Garvin but Garvin slammed him down and followed with a Garvin stomp. Charland came at Garvin but was knocked out with a KO punch. Match 4 of the best of 7 series- Fabs lead 2-1 The Rock n Roll Express vs. The Fabulous Ones Of course these teams once again put on a tag team clinic. After 30 minutes of seesaw action, RnR is in control as they double back drop Keirn. Lane charges in and gets double clotheslined over the top rope. Keirn staggers up and gets double dropkicked! Gibson covers but the Ref tells him Morton is the legal man. While the Ref guides Gibson back, Lane runs in and nails Morton with a super kick to the back of his head! Gibson runs in and pounds away on Lane. Keirn rolls over and covers Morton as the Ref counts 1..2..3! BOOOOO! Fabs now lead 3-1 Blackjack Mulligan defeats The Dream Machine by DQ- Mulligan nailed Dream with his diving back elbow smash. When Mulligan covered, Jones ran in and hit Mulligan with a bull rope causing the DQ. Jones starts choking Mulligan with the bull rope. Mulligan rises with Jones on his back, backs up full speed and rams Jones into the turnbuckles. Mulligan starts punching Jones. Dream comes from behind and hits Mulligan. Dream grabs the bull rope and chokes away on Mulligan. Jones eventually staggers up. Jones and Dream swing Mulligan to the ropes and double clothesline him with the bull rope! AWA National Champ "The Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler If Lawler wins he will get a National Title shot. Nothing pretty here as these guys pretty much just punch away on each other. At the 15 minute mark, Lawler is in control as he vertical suplexes Idol and follows with an elbow drop 1..2..Kick Out. Lawler swings Idol to the ropes and knocks him down with a big right punch. Idol staggers up, Lawler grabs him and swings him to the ropes, on his way back Idol and the Ref collide. The Ref takes a big bump and goes down. Lawler is checking in the Ref. Idol rolls over and pulls something out of his pants, then starts fiddling with something. Wait a minute! Idol has a lighter. He starts flicking it and lights something on fire. Lawler turns his attention towards Idol and heads over. Idol rises and is set to fireball Lawler but Lawler kicks his hands at the last second! The fireball hits the side of Idol's face! Idol goes down flailing and covering his head. Lawler covers. The Ref slowly crawls over and counts 1..2..3! Jerry Lawler gets a National Title shot!

Velvet and Medusa go all out until chaos ensues. Nice visual of Velvet and Medusa forming an impromptu alliance to fight off the monsters. Another hot tag match. My favorite part was the post match when Pardue throws a bucket of water at the heels. That's good television. Fun battle royal as each woman get to shine. I thought Babyface was going to pull off the underdog upset but not tonight as the red hot Moretti wins it and retains her many titles. WWW has some serious momentum going!

Props to you, Mid South and Continental for doing such a great job working together under the NWA banner. Gaylord continues to get over. Youngblood's arrive to TV! Solid promo and a very nice tribute to Jay. Jay was defiantly a Mid Atlantic favorite. Luger is pumped up and even puts his TV title on the line in an open challenge match. I wonder which one of the Spectral hand will accept. Bold move for Luger. Harts get a good TV win. Can they continue this momentum against Brutha's in Arms? Slater's the man! Can't wait for next week's non physical encounter between Dibiase/Williams and the Andersons. Renegade Warriors are off to a great start taking down the RnR Phantoms. LOL, what a great name. I'm sure the fans in Albany will pack the house. Embry ends the show with a big win over long time favorite Mr. Wrestling 2. All roads lead to Halloween Havoc!
