LOL, Mucho Macho was just to much fun. Loved it! Also, great pay off as Gino uses this to his advantage on Savage. Very cool to see Valentine moving back up in the main event scene. Mike Davis is on the roll of a lifetime. House of Humperdink has a strong threat and his name is Tony Atlas.

TNT will pick up Carlos Colon and Baby Doll. I will now withdraw from the draft.

TNT also picks up the Doctor of Desire Tom Prichard.

TNT selects Jerry Blackwell.

Oh man sorry for the looooooonnnnng delay. OK TNT will pick Rick Martel

Good seeing old Moose Morowski show up. Looking forward to one last run. Bulldogs lay the challenge down to the Assassins. Masks vs. contracts! So much on the line. Morgan vs. Gama will be a classic but watch out for Foley. Bad News gets the win but he might of made a huge mistake taking Hansen's cowboy hat. WOW! Orndorff beats Flair for the title! Icing on the cake as Orndorff gets to beat down on Heenan for 5 minutes. Orndorff will be a great champ. Wild 8 man tag as the faces get the big win. Good grief! That upcoming card at the Corral is stacked!

TNT Wrestling TV @ The Roanne Fieldhouse, Memphis TN 10-11-84 Show opens with a music video of Night of Champions Highlights. Lance Russell: Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of TNT wrestling here on the USA Network. Well we just saw highlights of Night of Champions and we will be talking about that throughout the program. As for tonight's show, DJ Peterson takes on Carl Fergie. The Kansas Jayhawks will go at it with The Cuban Assassins. Mr. Wrestling 3 wrestles Ricky Vaughn of Real Deal and boy do we have a blockbuster main event as Curt Hennig goes up against Buddy Landel. Ok please welcome the new TNT champion along with the Dream Machine, here's Superstar Bill Dundee. The boos are deafening as Dundee and Dream brush them off. Lance: You guys caused quite a stir at Night of Champions. Thanks to Dream Machine's interference Bill you're the TNT champ and Jerry Lawler is at home healing. I have to ask what was that all about? Bill, you and Jerry are friends. I don't get why Dream did what he did. Dream: First off Lance, you need to congratulate the Superstar on his great championship victory! What's wrong with you?! Lance: (rolls his eyes) Congratulations Bill. Dream: That's more like it babay. The reason I did what I did is simple. I despise Jerry Lawler! He's nothing but a selfish glory hog! I was out of action for months and did he once call me? NO! You know who did? This man (pointing at Bill) and brother we had some long talks about Lawler. I saw everything he did to try and keep the Superstar down. I was fed up and there was no way in hell Lawler was walking out as champ. TNT needs a true hero to represent as champion. Bill Dundee is that hero. Lawler! You're now just a zero babay. Dundee: (pats the title on his shoulder) Thank you for the kind words Dream. You are a true friend. Unlike that selfish backstabbing lowlife Jerry Lawler. Lawler! You used me from the moment I arrived here. I helped you rid TNT of Jimmy Hart and his family. I had your back when you defeated Terry Funk for this here title and all I wanted was a fair title shot but no I had to beg you for the opportunity. Well guess what? I made my own opportunity and here I am brother...TNT Champ! Dream Machine holds up Dundee's arm while Dundee lifts up the title with his other arm as the fans give it to them. Lance: With Dream Machine watching his back, Dundee might be champ for awhile but I would sure hate to be them when The King returns. Fans let's go to the ring. Super Samoans (Tui and Sakalia) vs. Kent Jennings and Gary Williams Samoans arrived at Night of Champions and helped Cocoa Samoa finally put an end to his feud with Ratamyu's and gang. The fans are really behind this exciting team as Sakalia body slams Williams and Tui follows with a Superfly Splash for the pin! After the match, the Super Samoans cut a promo and say they're gunning for the TNT tag titles! Commercial Break George Wells vs. Teddy Freeman Wells looks great tonight as he's all over his opponent with slams and flying leg scissors. Wells swings Freeman to the ropes and nails him with a flying tackle to get the pin! The fans cheer as Wells heads to the podium. Lance: Great win tonight George. I know the Fabulous Ones were happy that you were there to help fight off Iceman Parsons after he interfered on behalf of the Movement. The Fabs got the DQ win but once again the Movement left town with the titles. Wells: I was happy to help. I don't know what's with..... Cheers as somebody walks out. Lance: Oh my, Special Delivery Jones! I wasn't expecting you. This is a nice surprise. Wells: SD! How are you brother? Jones: (Big smile) Doing outstanding! George, I'm here in TNT and you're the first person I wanted to greet. WHAM! Jones headbutts Wells! Lance: What the hell's going on?! Jones picks up Wells and puts him down with another headbutt! Wells is busted open. Jones picks up Wells and puts him down with a third headbutt! Officials storm out to help Wells. Jones grabs the mic out of Lance's hand and looks into the camera. Jones: For years I was told by promoters to put on a big smile and do some dancing around the ring. I was a damn joke! I was nothing but a puppet. I was ashamed of myself. Then I got a call from Tiger Conway Jr. and he open my eyes to the truth and told me I didn't have to be a puppet any longer. I left New York as fast as I could and met with The Movement. They are my true brothers, they are my family. George Wells is a puppet and we cant have him embarrassing us any longer. My name is Roosevelt Jones and I represent The Movement! Jones throws the mic at Lance and storms out. Commercial Break Lance: I'm at a loss for words after what just happened. I hope George will be ok. Well, lets get back to the ring. Mr. Wrestling 3 w/Mr. Wrestling 2 vs. Ricky Vaughn w/Scott McGhee Good technical bout going on between two fan favorites. The tide turns a few times as both men display some fine wrestling maneuvers. During some chain wrestling, Mr. Wrestling 3 goes flying through the ropes. Mr. Wrestling 2 goes over to encourage him. Vaughn gets a little heated about this and has words for Wrestling 2.

The Fabs cut a promo and say they're ready to defend these titles and still have their eyes on the AWA World tag titles. Boos hit as Valiant leads his Blond Bombers to the podium. Valiant: Listen up! Next week your reign comes to an end. You jerks are just poor imitations of the Golden Boy and Mr. Electricity. My Blond Bombers are the future of the AWA and you jerks are just washed up imposters. The Fabs hold up their titles and are ready to fight but Valiant laughs them off and leads his men out. Commercial Break TNT Brass Knuckles Champ Hercules Ayala vs. Sam and Sean Smith Ayala came up just short in his AWA world title match with Ted Dibiase at Night of Champions and tonight he requested to fight two men.

Switching gears at Night of Champions my guests Tony Parisi and Gino Brito defeated the Enforcers Richard Charland and Bob Dellaserra in a loser leaves town match. Well boys now that you sent the Enforcers packing what's next? Brito: Now that that is finally over, Tony and I can focus on the titles. Boos as Gene Anderson comes out. Gene: You boys might be done with the Enforcers but I'm not done with you! Gene just walks out. Lance (puzzled) Very ominous words from Gene Anderson.

Crews: Lance, around here it's obvious people need friends. Well I found a couple of good friends and together we decided we're going to run TNT. Fergie: That's right! Just look at us. Pure talent! Young: I came to TNT to make a splash and here it is! Nobody can stop this trio and I'm daring anyone to try! Lance: Ok, it appears we have a new alliance in TNT but it looks like DJ has some friends as well. Back to the ring.

Also just announced DJ Peterson, Mike Shaw and Denny Brown will face Carl Fergie, Art Crews and Gary Young. Should be a great show. Before we get to our main event, we have some special comments from Jerry Lawler, who's at home recuperating. Lawler: (takes a moment) Bill Dundee, at last you showed your true colors. You knew you couldn't get the job done on your own so you get that masked buffoon to help you. Dream Machine is a liar. I checked up on him many times but I was told he was refusing all visitors. Well now I know why he didn't want to see me. Dundee and Dream got one over on me and took the title that I cherish. Bill, Dream Machine, I hope it was worth it (points at the camera) because it's going to be hell to pay! Commercial Break Lance: Ok, we're set for our main event... hold on, it looks like Buddy Landel is coming over. Buddy: Do I look great or what? Come on Lance, it's not easy looking this good brother. (pulls out a comb and feathers his hair) Now after Night of Champions when I beat that punk Denny Brown and won the right to any title shot I want, everybody wants to know which title I'm gunning for. Well that's easy. There's only one title a man of my talent, a man of my caliber and a man of my skill goes for. That's the WORLD title daddy! That's right. Ted Dibiase, you've been ducking me long enough brother and now you have no choice. Mr. AWA will be the next world champ. Bet on it! Excuse me Lance, but I have to put on an exhibition and give this Hennig kid a wrestling lesson. Cheers as Curt Hennig (bandage on forehead from Tully's post match attack at Night of Champions) ) comes to the podium. Curt: Landel, you have a big mouth my friend, so let's see if you can back it up. Put your AWA world title shot on the line, right here, right now!

Talk about a cheap deal. I hope Tully and Buddy are happy with themselves. I'm sure we'll have more answers next week. Fans, until then.

Awesome show! Props to you on giving us 2 tag title matches and the hard work you put into it. The Movement retain in of course shady fashion. The Youngbloods put up a hell of a fight and looks like they will get a rematch. Great match! Our next match is another wild one. Love the Watts/Geigel/Cornette interactions before the match LOL. What a match! The Islanders are on the verge of winning the titles until the Spoiler makes a shocking appearance and saves the Midnight Express. Chaos ensues and this one is far from over. The show could of easily ended there but there's more! Kevin provides proof of Bock's affiliation with Hart. Wild brawl ensues! Hart's monsters are ready to destroy Kevin until Kerry helps but there's more! Chris Adams returns and aligns with the Von Erichs! WOW! Non stop action packed show! Huge surprises! Cant wait for that Lumberjack strap match!

Young Kendall is ready for the fight. Like the breaking kayfabe moment explaining the Mike Von Erich situation. Makes total sense that Mulligan would want to focus on his son and let Fritz handle his son. Big win for Mike George over Bulba. this was only the beginning for Bulba as he later interferes and pisses of Leduc. Things don't look good for Bulba. Damn, Bass and Bart are ruthless as they give Embry a beat down! JJ and his team give a threatening promo. It wont be long before they have some gold. Speaking of beatings. Atlas is on fire as he takes it to both Sheik and Volkoff! Rufus joins in and a streetfight is next! That will be a brawl! Dory is a master as he uses good ol fashion wrestling to allow him and Mulligan get the big win over Ladd and Boone. Will the upcoming Ladd/Mulligan match finally resolve things? I have a feeling it wont LOL.

I agree with Kev, those last 3 matches were off the charts! Orton and Khan get solid wins as they move on up the rankings. LOL, HTM continues his winning ways. Looks like the Highwaymen and Glamour Boys are going to need a big time gimmick match to end their feud. Islanders look more than ready for their upcoming title match with the Midnights.

Bringing in Morgan as the British Middleweight champ is a great idea. Immediately gets him over. Tito is back! Ariba! Shock of the night, Foley arrives to take Adnan's spot! Talk about a heat magnet in Stampede. His men already get into a brawl with Tito and the Hart Foundation and now Stu is involved! A new chapter in this saga. Awesome seeing Hansen and Bad News brawling. This may never ever get resolved LOL. Oh man who attacked Orndorff??? That might not of been wise because now Orndorff gets a rematch and Heenan will be above the ring. I can only imagine what Orndorff will do with Heenan if he wins the match.

I agree, no better way to end the new year than a Savage/Gino No DQ match! That's going to be epic!

The war between Studd, Brody and Shultz is at an all time high. Maybe a 3 way match is coming. That would be epic! Islanders seem pumped up and ready for the Midnight Express. LOL, Watts says Corny cant get out of the stipulation. Kevin confronts Hart but get attacked by Killer Khan! Hart has assembled a dangerous group of monsters. Strongbow is back and says this time will be different. Glamour Boys finally get a satisfying win over the Highway Men. But it looks like Paul Jones has some interest in the Highway Men. Could be trouble for the Glamour Boys. Oh Man! Windham makes short work of Tatum and sends him packing for a bit. LOL, great TV moment.

The violence has gone to a new level in the Rocky Mountains! Bulba nails Rich with the brass knuckles to get the win but Johnny Rich will fight another day. Atlas beats the Sheik at his own game and the Sheik is irate. Man he did a number on SBS with the club! Atlas vs. Sheik will be a war! JJ arrives and is now managing Bart and Bass! It wont be long before they get some gold. Talk about a fight. Dr. Death and Leduc brawl to a double c.o. This one has only just begun. 7 Heart punches!!!! Damn! Ox shows why he's as dangerous as ever as he sends Sonny King to the hospital. This was really well done on TV showing how brutal and graphic it was. What's next for Ox and who's going to want to get in the ring with him??? Kevin gets revenge on Adams but seems like he wants to help him return to his old self. We'll see how this plays out. Ladd gets the win over Manny but the story is after the match as Mulligan and Dory unite against Ladd and Grizzly! Cant wait for that tag match.

Always liked the Battle Royal kicking off a show and determining the matches. Brody wins it and gets a shot at Bock. The most intriguing match to me was Barry Windham and Kerry Von Erich. Of course they put on a wrestling classic and go 20 minutes. Good stuff. Brody and Bock would of been awesome to watch live. That no good Studd interferes and costs Brody his chance to be champ. With no doubt this extends their feud.

The Royal Family is looking brutal as they put down the Vachons. Billy/Texas Red and the Marauders are venturing into a bloody feud. Taylor retains as he puts down Super Strong Machine. I think Taylor and the TV title is a perfect match. Oh man looks like a new feud is starting as Rose uses the old powder on Bravo then proceeds to give a beatdown. Piper defends against Flowers but the post match was the story as Wiskowski attacks Piper. Piper vs. Wiskowski will be a lot of fun.

Great job with the TV hyping up the tournament. Also the plot thickens between Bob Armstrong and Terry Funk. The fans got their money's worth with some dream tournament match ups. Funk is ruthless as he makes it to the finals while Armstrong's odds are slim as he gets the mist from Super Ninja. Brad tries his best but the Funker is just to much as he piledrives his way to the title!! Terry Funk as champion is such a perfect choice in Continental. Cant wait for the reign of Funk!

Action packed opening as Armstrong/Bassarab and McCord have enough of MX-1 and the Assassins and take them down in an impromptu match. Flair and Heenan get one over on Orndorff but they might pay for that as a rematch is ordered with Heenan barred! Chaos in the AWA tag title bout! Bad News and Hansen brawl as Adnan fireballs Bret! WOW! Adnan is sending someone more dangerous than him? This is trouble! And once again the Movement walk out with the titles. The feuds are red hot in Stampede!

Great stuff with the aftermath of Backlund's stunning title loss to Magnum. I like the mix between Backlund's craziness and Arnold's more subdued approach. A Road Warriors/Moondogs brawl would of given me my money's worth for sure. Like the team of Robinson and Quinn. They could be very dangerous. Johnson retains against Roop in what looked like a classic.

Super Black Ninja continues his winning ways. Grapplers and Sheepherders get in nice wins. Cooley and Muraco is a fun match. Looks like Muraco got frustrated and DQed. Oh man I wonder who this masked man is attacking Funk??? OMG/Garvin and Bugsy win round 1 over Devastation Inc. Herc retains against Street. Loving Herc as Southeastern champ. Fantastics and Stud Stable look like they're heading into a wild feud.

Ivan 'Polish Power' Putski and The Cuban Assassins w/Ratamyus vs. Sean and Sam Smith and Gary Williams Brutal squash as Putski and the Assassins just tear their opponents up. Ratamyus even gets in some cheap shots. The finish comes when the Assassins beat down the Smith brothers then swing Williams to the ropes as Putski nails him with the Polish Hammer for the pin! They aren't done as the Assassins pick up Williams and hit a double rib breaker! Ratamyus leads his men to the podium. Ratamyus: Cocoa Samoa! You stupid weak man. It doesn't matter who you bring to help. Did you just see what my men did in that ring? In 7 short days I will finally be done with you and you will be out of wrestling for good! Lance: Very threatening words. Before we go to a commercial here's some pre recorded comments from Cocoa Samoa. Cocoa: Ratamyus! Just remember who retired you. That's nothing compared to the beating your henchmen will receive. Yea you took my brothers Tio and Tapu out but now you have to suffer the wrath of my other brothers. Get ready because I know we are! Commercial Break Lance: Fans, joining me now is Denny Brown. Denny you won a title contenders match in Florida awhile back and I know you've been thinking about which title you will be going after. I understand you have an answer. Denny: Yes I do Lance. I'm very happy and excited to announce that..... There's a big commotion from the fans. Lance: Whoa wait just a minute! Buddy Landel! What are you doing here? Landel: Oh Lance it's so hard to be humble when I'm perfect in every way. That's right Mr. AWA has arrived to (looks around in distain) TNT. But hey it's all good for TNT because the ratings on the USA network are about to sky rocket because MR. AWA is here on TV baby. Now I don't wait for opportunity, I just take it. (looks at Denny) I understand you have a shot at any title in the AWA. Is that right boy? Denny: The name is Denny and yes I do. Landel: Denny? They always get my order wrong. Anyways, I don't wait in line for title shots so I'll make this simple. I want your title shot. Come on, does anybody here think this dork can honestly win a title? I'm a proven champion. So what do you say? Night of champions? You got the guts boy? Denny: You sure like to talk. I'll tell you what. Since I'm already tired of hearing you talk and I'm sure these fans are to. I'll put my title shot on the line but if I win then you have to leave TNT. Now, do you have the guts...boy? Landel: Kiss your shot goodbye. Buddy pulls a comb out of his pocket, combs back his hair and struts out. Lance: Ok, looks like we have a match set for Night of Champions. Unbelievable.

Next I want to warn the Movement that I'll be keeping a close eye on that AWA tag title match to make sure things don't get out of hand. Fabulous Ones, I got your backs. Lane: Thanks George. We all know the Movement loves to play the numbers game but at Night of champions that just wont work. Keirn: You boys have done nothing but disgrace those titles.

I will not be disrespected any more! Boo Hoo poor Larry Hennig. he should be suffering and I hope he's had a chance to ponder and reflect on what a poor job he's done as commissioner. The guy has no business in an position of authority. Total abuse of power. I personally think he was making up for his shortcomings as a wrestler and as a father! WHAM!

Kevin Kelly is going berserk with the brass knuckles LOL. He sure is making a lot of enemies. It was fun while it lasted for both Davis and Gilbert and now Abdullah is champ. You have to be always on guard in Florida. Hoping Valentine reemerges in the main event scene and it looks like he might after getting beat down by Abdullah. Tony Atlas comes to town and immediately wins a title! And of course the Gino/Savage feud continues to be a highlight. The build has guaranteed a sell out for their inevitable match.

Houston kicks off the program with some fire. LOL, HTM tells his side of the story. I don't think he'll be so pompous when Kerry comes looking for payback. Love the pairing of Orton and Jones. Orton is a serious threat to Windham. The Movement deliver a passionate promo but then drop one to the Youngbloods and Adias. Nice to see the babyfaces fight fire with fire. Can the Youngbloods carry the momentum into their AWA title match? Gary Hart brings back Kamala! I think the pieces in WCCW are complete. Oh man, Savoldi and Powers give the Midnights a tough match but good ol Corny once again comes through for his boys. Might be a different story when he's handcuffed to Watts! Another great show full of solid matches, great promos and fun surprises.

Great reintroduction of the one and only Dory Funk! I'm sure we'll see Dory in action very soon. This territory is right up his alley. Nice feud going between Ox and Sonny. Will Ox finally put Sonny down with the Heart Punch? Or will the bolo punch prevail? Oh man Chris Adams might be in serious trouble! He can hurt Mike but now Kevin is here. Whole different story. Sheik and Volkoff look absolutely brutal! They use the Persian clubs to break the lock and then use them to beat down Atlas and SBS! All this allows the Movement to once again retain the titles. Looks like the Movement has an endless amount of cash LOL. Mulligan puts Ladd down!!! Ladd is furious and then learns he must defend his title against Mulligan. Oh man! I think Mulligan has Ladd's number. Got to give Grizzly Boone some props as he pinned both Dr. Death and Fernandez! Not a bad outing.
