USWA releases Shunji Takano USWA picks up Fred Ottman and Tom Magee

I'm all for Adams going at it with Gilbert for the title. Adams has been on a roll and him and Hot Stuff will tear the houses down. Great interview with Bam Bam. I thought for sure he was going to the dark side but NO WAY! The Snake is in big trouble. After a fun feud with the Dog Pound, Badd Co. score their biggest win over the Freebirds. If they continue at this pace, they'll be wearing gold in no time. Oh man, Jake took a beating from the Three Man Army! If this keeps up, the Army might end up running Jake out of town. Texas Red is back and gets some payback on the Vice. British Steel get a very satisfying win. Gary Hart is getting the better of Hyatt Inc. After a solid run in Pacific, Barry sends Taylor packing. Great continuity here as Taylor pays for his previous sins. And Barry is now way over with the Pacific fans. Oh man Sommers does the stretcher job! Could this be the beginning of the end for the Playboy Club? Hot Stuff faces his toughest challenge to date by taking on former dominating champ Gordy. Great match and Gilbert solidifies himself as a true champ with a huge clean win! Great stuff, I like the direction Pacific is going.

Landel not being on TV this week is a big time bummer but we do get a taped promo. New Twin States Tag champs Cooley and Armstrong vow payback on the Rich's but first must go another round with the (not on good terms) Violent Gentlemen. The Iceman has arrived! He always brings excitement. Santa Slam is building up. Mulligan will be back but in the meantime, Jerry Brisco will fill in. I hope Jerry knows what he's dealing with. Love that Mulligan comment about spitting Redman in Khan's eyes. Humperdink brings in the Moondogs! Great addition to the stacked Twin States tag roster. Mr. Electricity gets the win over Norvell to add some heat to their upcoming tag match. Wait! Landel is here! Not only does he give Olympia a beatdown but he issues a challenge for the title. In wrestling there's always a couple guys that can't seem to get away from each other and these guys are a perfect example. I hope they feud all over this game forever LOL. Thanks for showing highlights of Wrestlestorm. Terry Funk is going to have his hands full as a traveling champion. Looking forward to the upcoming tournament to see who gets first crack. Fergie and Slick's interactions are becoming a highlight every week. Slick promises a bodyguard worth a lot of money. Slick was right! Bad News Allen is worth every penny! However, Fergie better watch how he talks to Allen and not get on his bad side. What a final segment! Dundee a "No Show" Boyd takes his spot. A beaten up Dundee appears and gets another beating. Then the Rich's show up! WOW! That was chaos at its best. The Rich's vs. Cooley and Armstrong is going to be a hot feud heading into 86. Another outstanding week in Twin States.

What a show as we head into Season's Beatings! Texas Ranger has become one of my favorite characters. He made a great showing in the tournament but it comes to an end at the hands of Deaton (and a cowbell). If there was anybody I wanted to see advance over Ranger, well it would be Deaton LOL. Both Deaton and Adias would be solid choices to win the title. Wow, Spoiler fires Akbar! I don't think Akbar will just walk away from this. El Jefe better be ready because a vengeful Cocoa is coming after him! I've mentioned this before but you've really turned this into a must see match. Dark Journey is great! Glamour Boys take the bait and the priceless team of Tatum and Victory have arrived. Hollywood and the Heartthrob get the big win and might have changed the course to Season's Beatings. Mantell looks great as he tunes up for his life changing world title opportunity. Terry Funk is the man! Awesome promo! I could hear every word in his voice and totally see all his facial expressions. The horse analogy was pure gold. 1986 will be the year of the Funker! Mantell responds with passion. These promos are going to bring the fans in. Highwaymen and Tribal Nation put on a dandy of a main event. Highwaymen get the c.o. win but aren't satisfied. The man who always has a plan Frank Dusek comes out and makes it a triangle match. One thing about Dusek is, he listens. Tatum brings up a great point and now we got a 4 corners match! This shows how competitive the tag team division in Texas is. The show isn't over! A parking lot brawl with pick up trucks, fallen bikes, fists flying! What more can you ask for? How about Ron Bass! Bass and Bart are reunited! The arena wont be big enough when those Cowboys and Bikers square off in what could be the biggest fight of the year! Only one more week! Can't wait.

Speaking of that great event, I would like to ask that the new Central States Champ Dick Slater come on out here. Cheers as Slater comes out. Jarrett: Dick, congratulations on your title victory. 1986 is going to be an amazing year for the USWA. We already announced that the USWA title has been recognized as a world title. As for the Central States title, that will now be known as the Mid America Title. So Dick Slater, I would like to present to you this here Mid America title belt. Jarrett opens the case, pulls out the championship belt and hands it to Slater. Slater: Thank you Mr. Jarrett. Right now I want to let all my fans know that I'll proudly defend this title against anyone at anytime. Dick Slater loves to fight and Dick Slater will be a fighting champ! (holds up the title and a fist) Alright! Lance: Ok, Dick Slater now the Mid America Champ. Fans, our first match when we come back. Commercial Break Lance Von Erich vs. "Jumping" Joe Savoldi Both of these guys were recent fan favorites in Texas and have now ventured into Tennessee. The bell rings and both men shake hands. Their fast paced styles are very similar and they give the fans a solid back and forth match. Both men use drop kicks, arm drags, hip tosses, sunset flips, back drops, leapfrogs, and headscissors. At the 8 minute mark, Savoldi rolls up Lance off the ropes but Lance carries the momentum over and rolls Savoldi up 1..2..3! Both men get up. Lance offers his hand but the disappointed Savoldi just walks out of the ring. Lance: Congratulations Lance Von Erich and welcome to the USWA. What a way to debut. That match could of went either way but you came out on top. LVE: It's so great to be here Lance and I'm really excited to take on the competition here. I have some pretty big goals for 1986 and I look forward to achieving them right here! Commercial Break USWA Tag Team Champs Karachi Vice vs. Gary Williams and Todd Rooney Total squash. Makhan swings Rooney into the corner and hits a running splash then tags in Gama. Gama hits a backbreaker and clamps on the camel clutch for the victory. Boos as they head to the podium. Lance: At WrestleStorm, the Gunslingers appeared to have the titles won but ended up getting disqualified. Gama: Stop right there! Appeared to have the titles won? They were never close to winning our titles! Makhan: That's right! They cheated and got DQed, Sorry but they broke the rules and we rightfully won the match. Pull your head out of the gutter Lance! Lance: Ok, alright. Well right here on our New Years Eve program, you will be defending those titles against the Nightmares from Twin States. They won a tough battle royal to earn this shot. Gama: I don't care what they won, they will not defeat us! Nobody can! USWA, Texas, Twin States, it doesn't matter who we face, we will defeat them all! Makhan: Because we're the best tag team on the planet! Commercial Break "The Lone Wolf" Jessie Barr vs. Sam Smith Barr is a bit unhinged as he punches Smith down, stomps away then gives him a boot rake. Barr picks up Smith and drops him on the top rope then drops several knees on Smith's leg. Barr finishes Smith off with a spinning toe hold. The bell rings but Barr wont release the hold. The Ref threatens to reverse the decision and Barr finally releases. Commercial Break Jessie Barr is still pacing around the ring and yelling. Lance: Jessie Barr is defiantly off. Right now I want to bring out Mike George. Mike, you have been undefeated since coming back. Your latest being a victory over Greg Gagne at Wrestlestorm. I know you're feeling good about taking care of the Elite. You now have been given a TV title shot on Christmas Eve. How's that sound? Mike: Great news indeed! I've worked hard and... WHAM!!! Jessie Barr clotheslines Mike from behind! Barr stomps on Mike then hurls him in the ring. Barr drags Mike to the corner then rolls out of the ring, grabs Mike's leg and slams it on the steel post! Barr does this a few more times then gets back in the ring and applies the figure four leglock! Officials storm the ring. Lance: What's wrong with Jessie Barr? He's clearly out of his mind! Commercial Break Lance: Mike George was stretchered out of here and Jessie Barr was escorted out of the building. I'll keep you posted on the condition of Mike George. Let's go back to the ring. "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly vs. Carl Kellerman Kelly clamps on the full nelson and it's all over. Kelly swings his opponent around and tosses him. Boos as Kelly does some arrogant posing before heading to the podium. Lance: I've got to ask. Why were you out there at Wrestlestorm during the Morrow/DJ Peterson match? Kelly: (laughs) Two reasons. I was paid and I simply don't like DJ Peterson. Never have, never will. And now I don't have to see his stupid face around here, all thanks to Gerry Morrow. Oh and by the way, my good buddy Vinnie Valentino is doing well after that unprovoked attack by those dirty Grapplers. Thanks for asking Lance. I'm outta here. Lance: (rolls his eyes) we'll be back Commercial Break A music video is shown of the FABULOUS ONES to the Busboys "Boys are back in town" Fabulous Ones are coming to the USWA! Central States Tag Team Champs The Bruise Brothers vs. Willie Lopez and Vic Dutro The fans are on their feet as The Bruise Brothers enter the ring wearing sparkling blue vests, blue wrestling pants, blue beanies and of course their newly won titles around their waists. Cash nails Dutro with a crossbody diving headbutt and tags in Snowman. Snowman finishes things off with his running powerslam! Cheers as "We are family" plays and the Bruise Brothers hold up their central states tag titles. Lance: (Smiling) Our central states champions, the Bruise Brothers! I'm expecting big things from that team in 1986. Boos as Gerry Morrow strolls out in a nice white suit, fedora, sunglasses, a bottle of champagne and his Billionaire's Title on his shoulder. Morrow: HAHAHAHA! Today is de day Lance. You will join me in a toast. A toast to my successful Billionaire's Title defense at de Wrestlestorm. Lance: Oh come on, that is not a recognize title in the USWA Morrow: Just for dat comment, I will not waste dis expensive champagne on you. Dis is a recognized championship because I say it is. And as everybody knows de golden rule, he who has de gold, makes de rules. (Laughs) As for de Billionaire's title, I will defend dis title with honor and pride. Now if you will excuse me, I will go find somebody worthy to toast with. Good Day. Lance: Yea, maybe Kevin Kelly is still around. We'll be back. Commercial Break Lance: Before we get to our next match, Duke Myers and Timothy Flowers are with me. Don't you two have matches to prepare for? Flowers: Oh yea, I'm taking on yet another injun. I ran Sunny Whinny Cloud out of town and now I have Billy Jack Weak here to avenge him. What a joke. I'm going to send him home crying and then my main man Duke is going to do the same to Siva Afi. Tell em Duke. Lance: If I may, but how long are you going to wear that sleeve on your arm and use it for foreign objects? Duke: Shut up Lance! This is a legit injury and at the hands of that savage Siva Afi. I'm the victim here and tonight Afi will pay! Flowers: You're looking at Hard Knocks brother! You like that Lance? You can call us that from now on. Got it! Lance: Back to the ring. My goodness. Billy Jack Strong vs. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers Cheers as The Ref tells Duke Myers to head to the back. The bell rings but Flowers is still throwing a tantrum at the Ref. Strong turns Flowers around and unloads. Strong swings him to the ropes and clotheslines him down. Strong picks up Flowers and sends him flying with an overhead back suplex! Strong picks up Flowers and once again sends him flying with an overhead back suplex! Flowers bounces and rolls under the ropes then staggers around and falls down. Flowers gets back up and staggers to the back which results in a count out. Lance: Maybe Flowers should of been more prepared. Billy Jack Strong, come on over. Welcome to the USWA. Strong: Lance, I'm pumped up and ready brother! Flowers just found out what I'm all about and I hope everyone else took notice. I'm here to face the best and win some gold. This is the place to be and I'm going to turn heads in 1986! Strong gives a double bicep pose as the fans cheer Commercial Break Lance: Fans, I've been told the Beauty Shop returns next week and Brenda promises a big announcement. I'll be conducting a special interview with the Grapplers. TV champ Tony St. Clair and Les Thornton will be here. On that note, I've been told Mike George is at a nearby hospital and I'm not sure if he'll be able to compete for the TV title on Christmas Eve. Well fans, I'm going to take you to the new USWA World Champion Terry Funk, at his home in Amarillo. Funk: (bandage on forehead and over his eye) I told you people what I was going to do and I sure as hell did it! (Holds up the USWA title) I beat your hero Lawler in his home town! How does that feel Lawler? Look at my eye! That pig Lawler tried to permanently blind me but here I am holding the USWA World Title! Now that I'm done with that jackass Lawler, it's time to move on and defend this title. My title! This message is for you Johnny Mantell. In two weeks you're going to get a beating at Season's Beatings. I saw your sit down interview and your 'Golly Gee, I'm just thankful for the opportunity' attitude and I wanted to puke! Listen to me closely boy. You have no chance in hell of taking this here title from me. Terry Funk is a Texas legend and there's no way I'm coming to Texas and losing this title to a wannabe cowboy like you. My brother Dory is going to win the Texas Title and I'm going to retain my title and it's going to be a wonderful Christmas at the Funk's house this year. Commercial Break Winner gets a Mid America Title shot on Christmas Eve "The Polynesian Prince" Siva Afi vs. "Master of Disaster" Duke Myers The bell rings and these guys have a furious exchange.

While all this is going on. Myers loads up his sleeve. Afi picks Myers up and Myers rakes his eyes and clotheslines him down 1..2..3!! Lance: What a robbery. Siva Afi had the match in total control until Flowers came out. And to top it off, Myers once again loaded that dang sleeve. Just terrible. Well I guess Dick Slater will defend the Mid America Title against Duke Myers on Christmas Eve. Well fans before we go, I want to take you to Jerry Lawler. I'll see you next week. Lawler: (bandaged up forehead) First off, I want to apologize to all my fans especially the ones in attendance in Memphis. That was the most heartbreaking loss of my career. I just can't sit around and feel sorry for myself. I want to get right back in the thick of things. Which is why I've signed to wrestle the Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller on the New Year's Eve program. Ron is one of the best and he's the type of competitor I need to get back in the ring with. The King will come back better than ever. That's a promise!

USWA sends David Sammartino to the WWF. USWA releases Joe Lightfoot USWA picks up Curtis Iaukea and Jerry Grey

USWA sends George Takano (Cobra) to New Japan.

The new Pacific era is off and running. Heel Tracy Smothers will be fun to watch. The tension between Busick and Bigelow has reached its peak. When these two go at it, it's going to be one hard hitting encounter. A lightbulb went off in Rotunda's head. Can't wait to find out who's coming in to help in the fight against the Snakepit. Looks like the beginning of a British Steel/Vice feud. Love the Gilbert/Snuka match up. Gilbert defiantly has a variety of challengers to work with. Vice Squad win round 1 against British Steel. Adams and Kabuki continue their solid feud. Adams seems to have the edge. OH YEA! Rotunda couldn't of picked a better partner than BARRY WINDHAM! Awesome debut as Barry gets the big pin on Jake! Barry is going to thrive here. Cabin Fever's title reign is off and running. Big c.o. win over the Playboy Club. Gilbert is off to a great start as champ by taking down both Snuka and Muraco in some hard fought title defenses. Smothers and Armstrong go at it. Advantage Smothers. I guess things aren't finished between Badd Co. and the Dog Pound. These teams have been giving the fans some good matches. Scorpio is rolling as LHW champ. I'm looking forward to Orton's TV title reign. He's a type that can adapt to all sorts of styles.

Welcome back Edger and welcome to our game Superkix!

USWA sends Killer Khan, Hercules Ayala, Nick Kiniski, Kelly Kiniski and Matt Borne to Twin States in exchange for Kamala, Roy Lee Welch, TNT, Pat Rose and Steve Strong

"There's no VICTORY without JACK" HAHAHAHAHA it's great that we're seeing these T-Shirts pop up in Twin States and Texas. The opening segment was hilarious. Poor Otis oh I mean Platt didn't have a chance LOL. I like the new event center. With everything happening in the USWA world, we need something like this. I'm all for a Dynamite Duo/Blondes contenders feud. It will be cool seeing 2 very charismatic teams going at it in the ring and we're going to get some fantastic promos. Boyd has arrived and will tell people his intentions when he's good and ready! Bullet Bob gets a fired up win and Moffat gets fired. I'm liking the bounty story and cant wait to find out who is behind all this. Humperdink sure wants his money but I don't think they finished the job on Mulligan just yet. Khan is looking like a monster as he sends poor Lancaster out on the stretcher. Can't wait for the inevitable Khan/Mulligan match. OH WOW! Fergie and Slick together! Only in our world LOL. What a conversation. Another Movement?!?!? Things just got real. I'm interested in seeing what Ron Garvin does here. Twin States seems like the ideal place for a tough as nails guy like Garvin. Appreciate the WrestleStorm commercial. And speaking of WrestleStorm, Landel almost changed the entire landscape! That was a close one LOL. I can't wait to hear RPG's explanation on this next week. Looking forward to the USWA champ making another trip to Twin States. Such a fun read every week!

USWA releases Arnold Skaaland, Bruce Hart, Chris Markoff, Moose Morowski, Sunny War Cloud and Tiger Jeet Singh. USWA sends Leilani Kai to WWW.

Great way to open the show as Adias pulls one over on Victory to advance in the exciting TV title tournament. LOL, loved the Victory meltdown. Tatum appears and seems to have a plan. These two guys together will be something indeed. Casey and Dory are both tuned up and ready for their big title match. I loved the promos these guys cut. Just good solid wrestling promos to sell tickets. I liked how they talked about Texas wrestling and the Funk name. They both made their points and of course Sunshine puts in her 2 cents. Really good setup. I am a big fan of sit down interviews. It adds realism to wrestling. Mantell really delivered here. He's humble but he's also one of the toughest and extremely focused. The USWA champ better not take him lightly. I've said this multiple times but what you've done with Estrada is amazing. He's one of my favorite characters in the game. A Texas Death match seems right up his alley. His feud with Cocoa went to a level I'm sure nobody would have predicted. I would buy a ticket for this match alone. ADRIAN ADONIS!!!! Yes! Adonis, Brooks and Miller as a biker gang, oh man this is awesome! I cant wait to see who Irwin and Bart get as a partner. Bikers vs. Cowboys in a bunkhouse match...Gimmie a hell yea! Things stay hot as an angry Spoiler calls out Mr. Ebony. Mask vs. Career! Seasons Beatings is off the charts! Sharpe and Gaylord give the fans a fun main event. I always thought Sharpe was the perfect heel. The way he exited after his victory was classic. Good job matching these guys up. Powerhouse veteran heel vs. the young and hungry powerhouse rookie. I'm hoping to see more. Great build to Seasons Beatings!

More boos as he arrogantly walks in the ring wearing white suit pants and a white jacket with a white fedora hat. Morrow opens his jacket, then holds up his Billionaire's Title. Morrow goes out and sets it on the timekeepers table by his bottle and briefcase, then points to the timekeeper and tells him to guard it with his life or that bottle will go upside your head.

The Ref is tied up with Kelly. DJ turns around and WHAM! Morrow nails him with the title! Morrow slides the title away and covers. Kelly points, the Ref turns around and counts 1..2..3!! BOOOOOOOOO! A satisfied Kelly simple walks away. Morrow crawls out and under the ropes. He grabs his title then goes over and gets his champagne bottle and holds them both up with a big smile while the fans give him thundering boos.

Kai takes her chain and exits. The bell rings. Both men pull on the chain and within a few seconds they wrap the chain around their fists and just start hammering away on each other. Nothing pretty, it's just a slug fest. It doesn't take long before both men are a bloody mess. Morgan starts to get the upper hand.

USWA releases Mark Fleming and picks up Bob Roop.

Yea, this storyline was going to be more detailed but with all the changes to my roster I had to wrap it up.

YES!!!! Right off the bat we get Landel. Landel is on a roll until Brisco comes out. A lot at stake in tonight's main event. I'm sure Lawler wont be happy about being called "The Queen" LOL, Landel's to funny. Humperdink and Khan want their money. Well, Humperdink does. Like he said, Khan just likes hurting people. I wonder who's behind the bounty? If I was Humperdink, I would be more worried about Mulligan returning than the money. Nightmares are ready for Karachi Vice. The challengers are lining up for a shot. Gotta love Embry. Fergie has all the money but he's in serious trouble with a fired up Bullet Bob coming after him. After that big win over Kamala, I don't think anything can stop him. Trouble's brewing between Barnes and Dundee. This is bad timing with their title defense against Brad and Cooley coming up. Well, it seems Fergie might have something up his sleeve for Bullet. Morrell shining up the belt was hilarious. Olympia is back on track and wants a piece of Buddy. He's so pissed, officials see to it that he's not around for the main event. Landel gets his shot back! We then find out he's the leader of the Platinum Club! Oh man Twin States will never be the same. How freakn fun is this going to be. Great job Gene!

Tatum lets everybody know about his allegiance to Jack Victory. What a pair! LOL, Tatum gets the line of the night with "You disgust me Lowrance" HAHAHA I like the tag team title story going with Tribal Nation, Glamour Boys and Highwaymen. Really shows the importance of the titles. El Jefe and Cocoa in a Texas Death Loser Leaves Town match...OH YEA!!!! Simply amazing what you've done with these guys. Bart and Irwin, the Wild Bunch! What a great name. It's going to be one wild and crazy shootout with Brooks and Miller! Poor Lowrance is having a rough night. Tatum says he's disgusts him and then Bart breaks his mic. Texas TV main events always deliver. Things get crazy as Spoiler and Jones battle with chairs! Spoiler gets the upper hand with a vicious shot. His momentum doesn't last as a bloody Jones chases him, tackles him and takes his mask! Getting the Spoiler's mask is a huge deal! This is some serious heat! What a night of chaotic action we'll have in store at Seasons Beatings!! Cant wait!

Lawler: Lance, I promised to be a fighting champion, and now with our partnership with Twin States and our affiliation with Texas, that just means more places to go and more title defenses. I will be going into Wrestlestorm as the.... Lance: Look out! Terry Funk storms out and tackles Lawler! Both men are rolling around and swinging haymakers.

He wins and you're out of this area. A lot at stake. DJ: Gerry Morrow, life isn't all about money. You know Lance, he started all of this when he broke that bottle of champagne over my head.

Ok, it's now official, you two will meet David Sammartino and Bruce Hart of the Elite for the Central States Tag Team Titles at Wrestlestorm. Cash: Oh Lance, as you can see we're feeling oh so good baby! We're gelling, focused and ready to rock! Snowman: Tell them Cash! Aint nothing gona stop us baby! At Wrestlestorm we're going to win those titles and bring em on home! Boos as Arnold Skaaland leads The Elite (Gagne, Hart and Sammartino) to the podium. The Elite are all wearing 70s style tracksuits. Skaaland: First things first. Mike George, prepare for the most humiliating match of your pathetic career at Wrestlestorm when the Great Greg Gagne shows you what real wrestling is all about. Now, speaking of wrestling. Lance, take a look at those buffoons (points to the Bruise Brothers) and now take a look at my Elite. Which team looks like wrestlers? I mean look at those jerks wearing those stupid suits and hats. They're certainly not qualified to be champions. My Elite on the other hand will certainly represent the Central States tag titles with pride. Something those jerk brothers no nothing about. Cash: Listen up dummy, you're not going to spoil our celebration. I just want to tell you one thing. You best bring that towel with you at Wrestlestorm. Skaaland: Oh yea, why's that? Snowman: To save your boys lives. The Elite start yelling but Skaaland calms them down and walks them out. Commercial Break Hercules Ayala vs. Todd Rooney Ayala comes to the ring with his chain wrapped around his neck. Ayala swings Rooney to the ropes and bulldozers over him. Ayala picks him up and clamps on a bearhug, then rams him into the turnbuckles and belly to belly suplexes him over for the win. Lance: At Wrestlestorm you and Morgan will meet in a chain match. I think it had to come down to this. Ayala: Morgan! What are you going to do when you're hooked up to me? There will be nowhere for you to run. You will have to take the beating that you deserve! Commercial Break The CEOs are standing with Lance at the podium with huge smiles on their faces. Ken Timbs is holding a gift box. Lance: Well you two seem to be in a good mood. I know it's not because of the tournament. Crews: You know what Lance, it does have something to do with that. On that very night we received the greatest news of our lives. The investigation is all over. Our company has been sold and you're looking at two men who are out of here. We're going on vacation and we don't have to come back if we don't want to. Timbs: But before we go, we want to thank the man responsible for all this. If Mr. Gerry Morrow could come out. Lance: Oh come on. What is this all about? Boos as Morrow walks out with a huge smile. Timbs: Mr. Morrow, we don't know how you did it but we owe you a tremendous amount of gratitude. To show our appreciation, we want to present you with this gift. Timbs hands him the box while Crews is clapping. Morrow smiles and opens it then pulls out a stunning sparkling studded title belt. Crews: We call that the Billionaires Title and nobody deserves it more than you Mr. Morrow. Morrow: (in awe as he admires the title) It's de most beautiful item I've ever laid eyes on. Timbs: It's the least we could do. Thank you Mr. Morrow. You're the greatest human being on the face of the earth. And as for you fans, so ,long suckers! The CEOs hug Morrow and exit. Morrow: Look at this Lance. I have de Billionaires Title and I will be honored to wear this at all of my matches. Oh I almost forgot about dat peasant DJ Peterson. HAHAHA you know what? He's not worth my time today. I am going to celebrate my new title with of course a bottle of my best champagne. HAHAHA, (admires the title again) So very beautiful. Lance: I don't know what I just saw but he better be ready for DJ Peterson at Wrestlestorm. Big grudge match when we return. Commercial Break "Diamond" Timothy Flowers vs. Sunny War Cloud Sunny is pacing around the ring. Boos as Flowers comes out wearing Sunny's headdress. Flowers does his mock tribal dance.

The Ref tries to get him to stop but Sunny pushes him down then continues to kick away. The Ref signals for the DQ. Sunny leaves Flowers hanging upside down then goes out and gets his headdress. The fans roar as Sunny puts it on and does a proper tribal dance. Lance: Alright, Sunny get over here. You and Flowers will be on opposite sides of the upcoming 8-Man tag match at Wrestlestorm. I know you've got to be feeling great right now. Sunny: Flowers disrespected me by stealing a piece of my culture. I've got my headdress back but I'm not done with Flowers. Me and my partners are bringing the thunder to Wrestlestorm. The fans cheer while Sunny does his dance to the back. Flowers comes out from behind the ring and throws salt into Sunny's face! Flowers clotheslines Sunny down then picks him up and rams him into the steel post. Flowers picks up Sunny in a backbreaker position and rams him several times into the steel post!

Flowers, Duke Myers, Chris Markoff and Mr. Pro along with Vin Man come out. Flowers: Shut up Lance! That was a message! A message to Stupid Afi, Buck Private Kirchner, and that big dope Morowski. You boys are a man short now and the beating I just gave Whining Cloud is nothing like the hurting me and these guys are going to do at Wrestlestorm! Boos as they leave. Lance: A truly sick man. back to the ring. Central States Champ Dream Machine vs. Arnold Goldstein Dream body slams Arnold then swings off the ropes and hits a jumping elbow drop for the win! Lance: Big match at Wrestlestorm when Dream defends the Central States title against Dick Slater. A lot of hate between you two. Dream: Old Dicky Boy is nothing but a gutless coward! Hey Lance, I'm still laughing about that tar and feather job I gave him. It was so fitting. I'm still laughing about beating him for this here title! I'm still laughing at him period! And I'm going to laugh at him when I beat him in front of the entire world at Wrestlestorm! I'm going to stick my foot on his chest and hold this title high. Get your camera ready because you wont want to miss that kodak moment. I'm outta here babay! Commercial Break Lance: I understand our next match is a bit of a special challenge. I'm not sure why but let's get to it. The Super Samoans w/Leilani Kai and Ripper Morgan vs. "Bulldog" Mike George and "The Electrifying" Ben Bassarab Kai has Morgan hooked to the chain as he huffs and stomps on the outside.

Kai hooks Morgan back up and takes him to the podium. Lance: Ok, just what in the heck was that all about? Kai: The Samoans have disappointed a lot lately and things got worse with their poor tournament showing. So out of the kindness of my heart I wanted to give them one last chance. I signed them to wrestle 2 thrown together opponents and what do they do? Disappoint me again. My relationship with them is over. I'll tell you what else is over. The career of Hercules Ayala. Morgan huffs and stomps. Kai yanks the chain. Kai: This beast wont let me down. At Wrestlestorm, Ayala doesn't have a prayer. Commercial Break Lance: After what we just saw, I'm standing here with the winners of that match. Mike George and Ben Bassarab. Bassarab cuts a promo on his upcoming match with Scott Doring and says nothing can stop the wave he's riding. George cuts a promo on Gagne and says this one's for Bulldog Brown and Skaaland better not forget that he's bringing back up. Lance: Big matches ahead for those two at Wrestlestorm and they certainly have the momentum. I hope security is on high alert for the man coming up in action. Tiger Jeet Singh vs. Ray Glader Singh comes to the ring swinging his sword everywhere. Singh gets in the ring and hits his opponent with his sword! Singh is ruthless as he hits Glader several times with his sword. The Ref tries to stop him but Singh hurls him out of the ring. Singh continues his assault. Massive cheers as CARLOS COLON hits the ring in street clothes and a baseball bat!! Singh turns around and Colon clotheslines him over the top rope with his bat! The fans are going crazy as Colon goes to the outside but once again wrestlers and officials run out to stop him. Colon breaks free, runs into the ring and holds his bat up as the fans roar. Commercial Break A video is shown from Twin States highlighting the Violent Gentlemen, Brad Armstrong and Wendell Cooley. That's followed by footage of The Gunslingers defeating the USWA Tag Champs Karachi Vice on TV to earn a title shot at Wrestlestorm. Lance: Those two tremendous tag team title matches will take place at Wrestlestorm. Speaking of title matches. Tony St. Clair will defend against Sweet Brown Sugar at Wrestlestorm. The champ is set for action now. TV Champ Tony "Simply the Best" St. Clair w/Les Thornton vs. Vic Dutro St. Clair puts on a wrestling clinic before finishing Dutro off with a double arm floating suplex. They head to the podium. Thornton: The time is at hand. At the grandest stage, Tony St. Clair will successfully retain his Television championship against one Sweet Brown Sugar. For weeks I scouted potential opponents until Mr. Sugar was chosen. This will be a most delightful victory for the champion. Cheers as Sugar comes out. Sugar: Mr. Thornton I have thanked you and Mr. St. Clair for this opportunity of a lifetime. However, I must be clear. You keep talk'n about winning and beating me on the grand stage but I want both of you to know, I'm coming to win and I'm coming for that prestigious TV title. Tony smiles then extends his hand. Tony: May the best competitor win. Sugar shakes his hand. Thornton: Which will no doubt be Tony Simply the Best St. Clair. Tony taps his title. Commercial Break Lance: Well fans, this was quite a night of surprises and confrontations. Don't forget, there will be no TV show next Friday and after all that went down tonight, that might be a good thing. Things are really heated as we head into Wrestlestorm 2. The fans erupt when Jerry Lawler comes out. Lawler: Lance, I've tried so hard to be civil during all this, but facts are facts. Terry Funk, you're nothing but a piece of garbage! You make me sick! So let me tell you something Funk. I'm going to Wrestlestorm to give you one hell of a beating that you've never had in your miserable life! I'm going to pull every strand of hair off your head and then I might even take out your other eye! I'm going to grind that ugly face of yours into the cage and make you bleed. You better damn well be ready Funk cuz the King is coming after you! Lance: (pauses) It all goes down next Saturday night at Wrestlestorm 2. Fans, I'll see you there.

Gene, you know how to give us one heck of a show! Nightmares kick off the night by winning the battle royal. They defiantly earned their shot at USWA gold. WOW! Thanks to this mysterious masked man, Embry has won the Jr. Title! I know Jerry Jarrett is putting together something special for a shot at that title. The masked man strikes again as poor Jimmy V does the stretcher job! Who is this masked man??? I knew Jimmy Jam was in serious trouble and man did Mulligan give him a beating. Damn! What a debut for Humperdink and Khan! I'm so glad you got Khan. Khan destroys Mulligan and we get another man out on the stretcher! That mist is some bad stuff. Khan vs. Mulligan is going to be brutal. Good grief! A neckbreaker with the chain! Brett Sawyer wasn't getting up from that. The Dynamite Duo proved that they can get mean. Wright should of known better than to piss off Buzz. He pays big time. The Sawyers flipping off the fans was a fitting way to leave LOL. Wright being stretchered out was another LOL moment. The Bullet/Kamala match went beyond expectations. Awesome brawl and Friday even gets unmasked. Poor Kamala was lost without his entourage and gets put to sleep. Bullet Bob gets the feel good moment of the night. Just feels right. Olympia solidifies himself as champ by beating Stomper in the rematch. But wait...The masked man is back! He puts Olympia down and reveals himself as BUDDY LANDEL!!!!!!! This was freakn GREAT! The "Daddy's home" line was icing on the cake. I know the fans were heated but man this was one epic moment in Twin States! Amazing job!

USWA @ The Hammond Center 11-26-85 Thanksgiving Tag Team Tournament The Winners will wrestle The Elite at WrestleStorm for the Central States Tag Team Titles Round 1 The Rock n Roll RPMs vs. The Super Samoans w/Leilani Kai RPMs are all over the Samoans in the opening minutes. Samoans come back and take it hard to the RPMs. It gets crazy as the RPMs send Sakalia flying through the ropes with a double dropkick, then nail Tui with the Spandex Split for the win! Kai is visibly upset with her team. The Technicians vs. The Devil's Duo w/Goldie Rogers Duo attacks at the bell and put the fists to the Technicians. Technicians take control and totally frustrate the Duo with a variety of wrestling maneuvers. Fleming executes a Northern Lights Suplex on Vines 1..2..Sword breaks it. Rheingans runs in and sends Sword flying with a running forearm blast. The Ref is trying to guide Rheingans to his corner when Goldie runs in the ring with a bag and levels Fleming over the head. The bag explodes and gold coins are everywhere! The Ref turns around as Vines covers Fleming 1..2..3! Rheingans is looking at all the coins and shows the Ref. The Ref is scolding Rogers but he officially didn't see it happen so the decision stands. The Bruise Brothers vs. The CEOs The CEOs look very unfocused which is probably due to the ongoing investigation of their company. Bruise Brothers on the other hand are in total synch. Cash tags in Snowman. Cash hits a jumping headbutt on Crews, then Snowman follows with a running powerslam for the win! The Red Dragons vs. The Magnificent Ones w/The Vin Man These teams have had quite the rivalry and as luck would have it they drew each other for this first round match up. Seesaw match as both teams are in high gear tonight. After a good 15 minute match, the end comes when Fuchi swings off the ropes but (from the outside) Vinnie trips him. Fuchi stumbles into a cradle by Kelly for the pin. Vinnie gets his guys out of there quick! Semi-Finals The Rock n Roll RPMs vs. The Devil's Duo w/Goldie Rogers Things get going quick when the Duo tries to ambush the RPMs but the RPMs were ready and took the fight to them. RPMs are in total control with quick tags and a lot of swift double team moves. Things change when Sword sends Lane through the ropes with a clothesline to the back of the head. Sword distracts the Ref while Vines holds Davis. Goldie climbs to the top rope and jumps down with a double axehandle but Davis moves and Goldie nails Vines! Davis punches Goldie then drops an elbow on Vines. On the outside, Lane reaches in and holds Sword's leg while the Ref runs over and counts 1..2..3! The RPMs advance to the finals! The Bruise Brothers vs. The Magnificent Ones w/The Vin Man This one's 10 minutes of hard hitting action. All 4 men are in there fighting. Cash swings off the ropes and once again Vinnie interferes with a trip. Cash stumbles forward but before Kiniski can do anything, he's leveled from behind by Snowman! Cash regains his footing and drops a big elbow on Kiniski 1..2..3! Kelly tries to break it but Snowman puts him down with a tackle. Vinnie is up on the apron. The Bruise Brothers grab him and a double headbutt sends Vinnie flying! Bruise Brothers advance to the finals! Special Match Corporal Kirchner vs. "The Russian Brute" Chris Markoff This feud has really escalated and these men will be on opposing teams at WrestleStorm. The entrances couldn't of been more different as each man comes out waving their country's flag. The bell rings and the brawl is on. Within minutes both men are bleeding because this is just a fight. The fight of course goes to the outside and neither man is interested in beating the count as they continue throwing punches long after they've been counted out. Nothing resolved tonight. Tournament Finals The Rock n Roll RPMs vs. The Bruise Brothers Before the match, Arnold Skaaland leads his Elite (Sammartino and Hart) to the ring. Skaaland is wearing a cheap suit and holding his towel while the Elite are wearing 70s style track suits. Skaaland cuts a promo and says it doesn't matter who wins the tournament because The Elite are going to win the Central States Titles at WrestleStorm. Boos as Skaaland and The Elite sit down by the timekeepers table. Both teams receive roaring cheers as they head to the ring. Also, both teams exchange looks with the arrogant looking Elite. The bell rings and all 4 men shake hands. Both teams want the title opportunity so nobody holds anything back. 10 minutes in, Davis vertical suplexes Cash and Lane follows with a splash from the top rope 1..2..Cash barely gets his shoulder up. Lane swings Cash to the ropes and goes for a back drop but Cash kicks him then dives over and tags in Snowman. Bruise Brothers control the next segment. Snowman body slams Lane and Cash follows with a knee drop from the middle ropes 1..2..Davis respectfully breaks it. At the 20 minute mark, Lane eventually tags in Davis. RPMs regain control, double body slam Snowman and follow with a double elbow drop 1..2..Cash respectfully breaks it. Davis swings Snowman to the ropes but they both collide with shoulder blocks. Snowman stumbles back and tags in Cash. Davis staggers up as Cash swings off the ropes and nails him with a cross body diving headbutt 1..(Lane runs in but Snowman drills him with a clothesline)..2..3! The Bruise Brothers have won the tournament! Snowman goes over and helps Lane up. Cash helps Davis up. The RPMs regain their senses. The RPMs are clearly disappointed but grab the Bruise Brothers arms and raise them as the fans cheer. The Bruise Brothers shake the RPMs hands and raise their arms as well. Skaaland and the Elite stand up but before they leave, Skaaland throws his towel in the ring at the Bruise Brothers. The RPMs gracefully exit to let the Bruise Brothers enjoy their moment.

The road to Battleground was filled with a lot of intriguing storylines and tonight we get the thrilling conclusion. You know it's going to be a great night when the opening match is the Hart Foundation vs. Muta and Kabuki. It appears Muta has turned to the dark side. An evil Muta is scary. Sommers and Easy Ed get the win. I agree with Young, the Vice Squad might need some time to regroup. Dang! Jake's group sent a powerful message tonight! Jake is not one to mess with. Well it finally happened. Smothers put his partner down with the Jawbreaker and left him in the hands of the Freebirds. No coming back from this as I'm sure Armstrong will be out for blood. In a fun underrated feud, Badd Co. has put a stamp on their rivalry with the Dog Pound. This was one of those feuds that elevated both teams. British Steel is coming on strong. They didn't win the straps tonight but have solidified themselves as serious threats. On the flip side, I've been a big fan of the heel Guerreros title run. I agree, Perez is the real deal after this great showing against Hito. Perez is a man with all the tools. HUGE night for the Crazy Gang! It starts here as Orton ends Texas Red's dominant TV title reign. I guess it didn't take long for the Vice Squad to regroup as they set their sites on Red. IDK, this might of been a grave mistake. Cabin Fever has done it. They end the fun and odd championship run of Rose and Haynes. Not only that but they send Haynes out on a stretcher. If this happened in Portland, it might of caused a riot. Crazy Gang are now the top dogs in Pacific. Absolute classic title bout to end the night! Steamboat and Gilbert just have those styles that mesh so well. Great match and I have to admit I was stunned when Gilbert won the title. Stunned in a good way. The storytelling to Gilbert's chase was engaging and it delivered the ultimate payoff. Hot Stuff along with Missy brings in a new era in 1986. Like Steamboat, Gilbert will be a fun underdog fighting champion and will give the fans a lot of classics. Awesome job!

Lot's of intrigue heading into Battleground. Things are boiling between Armstrong and Smothers. Will Battleground be the night Cabin Fever takes home the gold? WOW! Gary Young comes in with a bang as the Vice Squad to a number on Texas Red. I'm sure Orton will take full advantage of this at Battleground. Steamboat puts down his old rival Muraco and has some serious momentum going in against Gilbert. Can't wait for Thanksgiving!

I wonder what's gotten into Smothers? I know Armstrong has had about enough. Zenk better be on high alert with Jake promising to make him pay. Hart's brass knuckles were no match for the green mist. Gary Hart knows all about that. I bet Gary is a little worried. Has Texas Red finally met his match with Grizzly Boone? I'm liking the Steamboat/Gilbert storyline. Good allies but also fierce competitors. We'll see how things go down in their upcoming title match. Muta and Kabuki have things going their way against the Hart Foundation. Gary better come up with a plan. Cameron looked strong with that win over Taylor. Speaking of strong wins, Crazy Gang got one on Rose/Haynes and Red. Good showing for Adams as he takes Steamboat to the limit. Steamboat has a lot of challengers gunning for him. Things are tense with Busick and Bigelow but they manage to pull off the win. Guerreros continue to have a firm grip on the Golden State titles. I've enjoyed their run here. My guys the Pacific Warlords get another crack at the titles but Rose and Haynes pull it out. This unlikely duo has shown some great chemistry. Texas Red had a tough week but ended it strong with a win over Manny. I really like all the factions and intertwining storylines going. Makes for an exciting read. So much happening as Pacific heads into Thanksgiving with a ton of momentum.
