The Rosemont Horizon: Chicago: March 7, 1984 1. Marty Jannetty defeats Jim Kent with the axe kick to the head 2. Mr. Wrestling II & Keiji Mutoh vs Jimmy Garvin & Eddie Gilbert with Precious ends with the heels taking the victory as Precious clocked Wrestling II with the loaded purse. Mutoh continued to amaze with his arsenal. 3. Wahoo McDaniel & Jules Strongbow defeat Ali Bey & Ciclon Negro after Wahoo went on the War Path and tomahawk chopped Bey into never never land. 4. Crusher defeats Ali Bey by beating him from pillar to post. 5. 6 Man Tag Match: Commonwealth Connection (Leduc, Dynamite Kid & Davey Boy Smith) vs The Hart Family (Bruce, Keith and Jim Neidhart): A lot of talent in the ring for this one with a nice combination of power and technical skill. In the end, the Harts came out on top as Neidhart caught Leduc in the scoop powerslam. 6. Rick Rude vs Rick Martel: With Heenan getting involved a little too often, Curt Hennig came down to protect his teammate. Heenan still tried to get up on the apron and interfere but was distracted by Hennig. Heenan rushed as he went to kick Martel below the belt as Rude held him but Martel escaped at the last second and Heenan hit his own man. Martel took advantage of the distraction and caught Rude in the Boston Crab for the win! 7. Bret Hart & Mongolian Stomper vs Randy Savage & Bad News Brown: The last time Brown and Stomper were in the same ring, it ended in an actual riot in the stands. Tonight, the match itself was basically fought in the stands as the action spilled out into the seats. Somehow, Savage was able to catch Stomper with the top rope elbow drop crashing all the way down to the floor. Stomper was never able to make it back into the ring and the heels sent the crowd home upset as they got the win.

And AWA Pacific continues to role. Most of your feuds are heating up with Rose and Piper on a collusion course that will rock AWA Pacific to its core as we find out who is really in charge of the West coast.

Love the set up Flair vs Brody as Brody gets a clean win over the champ! The Alabama Title seems to be a revolving door. Always makes for a memorable experience for the fan who saw the title change hands.

Really fun show here. I enjoyed the debut of Yokozuna and at 625 pounds, he is going to be a force. You did well in the draft to get a few big names thatcan make an impact quickly and Yokozuna and Hall showed that tonight. Reed vs Sawyer will be WILD! Poffo vs Poffo... How long will that stay peaceful or could it be a set up. We will have to wait and see. Brad & Ole... two awesome guys who can do it all from wrestling to giving a great promo! Should be fun. Dibiase explains his new style and lets see if it can push him to the top! Looking forward to the OMNI

Very smoothly done as your TV hypes up your big house show and then your house show hypes up your next TV show. Flair vs Superstar is hyped up on the TV and then we get the Bruiser run in at the house show and we are all hooked to spend our $$$ for Southeastern Championship Wrestling!

All Star is sending Black Bart, Brain Blair and Dick Murdoch to World Class for Ox Baker and Nicolai Volkoff

Wow is all I have to say! That was one action filled hour. Ric Flair has been champ for like a minute and he has Superstar Graham and Brusier Brody chasing him. Paul Jones seems to be on fire here in Southeastern Wrestling. Rip Rogers is also getting some serious heat. He is one of the guys that can get under your skin real quick as a fan and you have him down pat! Fullers vs Midnight Express is an awesome Semi-Main event!

AWA BREAKING NEWS The National Wrestling Alliance has been in a state of flux since Ric Flair forfeited the NWA World Heavyweight Title and joined the surging American Wrestling Association as part of Southeastern Championship Wrestling. Today, another blow was struck to the NWA as Bob Geigel resigned as President of the Alliance and announced that he was merging his Central States Wrestling office with the Mid-South Wrestling office of "Cowboy" Bill Watts. Hours after that bombshell, another dropped, as Watts and Geigel finalized a deal to acquire the Dallas booking office of World Class Championship Wrestling from Fritz Von Erich. Those in the know say that Fritz had been growing frustrated at the AWA signing many of his regular talents to exclusive deals, and then the recent death of his son David in Japan is said to have driven all the wind out of his sails. However, him selling the company comes as a shock to many. Then "Cowboy" Bill Watts turned the wrestling world upside down when he held a press conference and withdrew from the National Wrestling Alliance, and announced the closure of Mid-South Wrestling! He then announced his new venture, AWA World Class Wrestling, a new promotion featuring all of your favorite stars from Dallas, Kansas City, and Mid-South, that would be airing every week in syndication all across the United States and be touring the great states of Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas, and Missouri.

Great opening statement... you seem to have Bock down pat. Looking forward to see what Atlas can do against the champ Sheepherders/Guerreros is a nice contrast in styles that should be fun to watch Jaggers seems fed up with Street and it will be interesting to see how TNT officials and fans react to the violence of Jaggers I am enjoying the Jumbo-Robinson match up. Two huge names going at it and I have no idea who will come out on top. Ayala goes from Idol to Race... if he can survive... he is going to get some real credibility with the others in TNT. Great card in Nashville. Can Wildfire regain the belt in his home state... You have done an awesome transition here with so many new feuds getting started, TNT is going great.

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING: March 3, 1984: WGN TV: Milwaukee Auditorium From coast to coast, continent to continent and border to border, we welcome you to AWA All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton. I am Rod Trongard and joining me will be Gene Okerlund. STORYLINE #1: AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE We get video tape highlights from the Coral in Calgary of the 3 Way title match between Rick Rude, King Konga and Bret Hart where Bret was able to survive and walk out with his title. Match: Randy Savage destroys Brian Blair with the end coming with Top Rope Elbow Drop Savage continues his “savage” attack on Blair after the match and Blair is forced to leave on a stretcher. Randy Savage: Oh yeah! I told you last week that the longer Verne Gagne waits before granting me a title shot at the North American title the more bodies I will hurt. Look at Brian Blair… He is going to the hospital. If this is how Verne Gagne wants it… that is fine with me, but I am getting sick and tired of the nonsense. Oh yeah! I was talking in the back to someone else who is getting sick and tired of waiting! All of a sudden, Bad News Allen comes out! Bad News Allen: That’s right Savage. I was the North American Champion until Verne and Stu Hart met in some back room and made me out to be a scapegoat for their failures and they suspended me and stripped me of the title for no reason. So now I am back, and I just want to hurt people and let’s start with Stu Hart’s son, Bret Hart since they handed him my belt and that freak, the Mongolian Stomper who raised such a baby that daddy has to come to his aid! Randy Savage: Oh yeah… How about you two clowns meet us in a tag match in the Rosemont Horizon this week and we settle this like men! Later in the show, the odd pairing of Bret Hart and the Mongolian Stomper do an interview and accept the challenge. STORYLINE #2: THE YOUNG LIONS TOURNAMENT Trodgard reminds everyone that in the near future, AWA All-Star Wrestling will begin a round robin tournament for all wrestlers 25 years old and younger and the winner will be crowned the AWA Young Lion of the Year. Mr. Wrestling II, comes out with a new entrant into the tournament and announces him as Marty Jannety. Match: Marty Jannetty beats Sam Birch Mr. Wrestling II stays with Trongard for this match and gives us some background on Jannetty As for the match Jannetty is not as exciting as Mutoh was last week but he is full of energy and charisma and the fans take a liking to the youngster. The end comes with a very creative move as Jannetty follows up an arm twist and then steps over Birch and puts his leg on the back of his opponent’s head than then slams his head to the ground with the leg acting as a guillotine. Wrestling II calls it the Showstopper! Wrestling II hypes up Jannetty throughout the match but also reminds us about Mutoh who we saw last week and lets how know great the Young Lions Tournament is going to be. Trongard reminds II that he can’t count Eddie Gilbert out even though they don’t seem to be getting along right now. Mr. Wrestling II calls Gilbert a punk along with his Hot Stuff partner, Jimmy Garvin. We also found out that it will be Garvin and Gilbert along with that jezebel Precious against Mr. Wrestling II and Keiji Mutoh this week in the Rosemont Horizon. STORYLINE #3: THE AWA WORLD TITLE A quick interview with Verne Gagen where we hear a review of Jerry Lawler saying that Hulk Hogan missed his shot at a rematch and how he is going to wrestle more deserving opponents. Verne Gagne: Listen up Jerry Lawler… you might be the champ, but you do not decide who you wrestle. That is my job and on March 24 at the Saddledome, you will put that title on the line against none other than Hulk Hogan and if you don’t like it, leave the title in my office and go find another job Later, we get one of those Hulk-A-Mania interviews between Gene and Hogan and the excitement is already building for the second ESPN prime time show. STORYLINE #4: AWA WORLD TAG TEAMT TITLE MATCH: The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering destroy Hutch Thomas & Cal Munson with the Doomsday Device At the interview desk with Gene, we are informed that the Road Warriors will face the Sheiks for the AWA Tag Tiles on the ESPN Supershow. Instead of listening to Hawk and Animal scream into the microphone they simply begin with an evil smirk that grows into a laugh as they walk off set. Gene Okerlund: I don’t know about you, but the Road Warriors scare me and if I were Jerry Blackwell and Ken Patera, I would be preparing for the most brutal match of my life. MATCH: The Sheiks (Blackwell & Patera) with Adnan Al Kassie crush Tony Torres & Oakie Smith Blackwell and Patera destroy the jobbers in their squash match just like the Road Warriors did and Sheik Adnan seems to be just as confident that his team will come out of top of the ESPN Supershow as Ellering was earlier. Sheik Adnan Al Kassie: Hala Gene Okerlund. Assalum Alaikum. Insha Allah Masha Allah. Ahlan Marhaba Wa Sahla. I paid a lot of money for the best team in the world and these misfits called the Road Warriors have no chance against my Sheiks. STORYLINE #5: THE AWA LIGH HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: We get a video tape from Denver where we see the heel turn by both Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid as they have sided with Jos Leduc and have joined the Commonwealth Connection. Prior to tonight’s title match between Dynamite Kid and Bruce Hart we hear from the Commonwealth who have set their sights on the Harts because they are angry with Stu for selling a Canadian company to the greedy Americans. MATCH: Dynamite Kid vs Bruce Hart We see both Leduc and Davey Boy Smith come to the ring with Kid and Trongard is real quick to notice the change in the champs fighting style. Dynamite is much more physical and is taking a lot of liberties with the rules. Davey Boy and Leduc also seem to interfere at every turn. When Bruce is somehow able to turn the tides, Smith and Leduc hit the ring and attack. While Kid is disqualified for this,Trongard points out how they might just have saved Kid’s title. The three on one attack is brutal but it only last’s a minute as Keith Hart, Bret Hart, Stu Hart and the newest member of the Hart family, Jim Neidhart, hit the ring. The Commonwealth saw the numbers go against them so they quickly hightailed it to the locker room. Stu Hart, the patriarch of the Hart family, takes control of the interview and declares that he is tired of people thinking they can attack his family just because they feel they have some gripe with the new AWA! He also announces that Neidhart is the newest family member as he has married his daughter and if anyone wants to take on the Hart’s, they better be ready for the Anvil. Okerlund thinks that Commonwealth seemed to want a piece of the Hart’s and Stu is quick to answer that by announcing this Thursday in the Rosemont Horizon it will be the Commonwealth Connection vs The Hart Foundation of Bruce, Keith and the Anvil! OTHER MATCHES MATCH: Ciclon Negro makes a successful return to the AWA as he defeats Bill Jordon with the Brainbuster MATCH: King Konga defeats Troy Graham (unmasked Dream Machine) with the Diving Headbut MATCH: Wahoo McDaniel & Jules Strongbow defeat Larry Cheatem & Verlon Biggs MATCH: Da Crusher defeats Ali Bey: We find out that Da Crusher will face Abdullah the Butcher this week in the Rosemont MATCH: Abdullah the Butcher with Sheik Adnan crushes Tom Birch with the end coming by Big Splash MATCH: Tom Zenk & Steven Regal wrestle to a 10 minute draw

Nice set of house shows. These are all great cards that would sell some tickets and it also kept those on top who you want to stay hot as you continue to build your feuds!

Interested to see where the Hart-Dibiase thing ends up. Dibiase can play the babyface but Gary Hart is a tough sell so I wonder if Dibiase could become the #1 Georgia heel down the road.

As always, I love your writing style. That was like a suspense novel with the answer not coming to the last minute. Flair was great as a face in MAAC and will be great in anything he does! Wonderful set up to the tournament. I do wonder who will be the first to come after him and I can't wait to see it.

Powerful intro here for Kerry Brown. Looking forward to the Bockwinkle vs Atlas match to see if Atlas can reach the top of the pecking order here in TNT Street has been a thorn in the side of TNT... first Cocoa and now Jaggers. I wonder how many people he can prance over before finally getting his! Guerreros-Sheepherders... main event action anywhere in the country except maybe TNT as your roster is just so great! Valiant with Street? .... Interesting I could watch the different styles of The Fab Ones vs Sweetan and Schultz every day of the week. Perfect TNT feud! Stasiak was a great mouthpiece for Jumbo. I wonder if Jumbo can get evil enough here to rise in the rankings and get some serious heat. Can't wait to find out. Ratymus continues to be the insane wildcard that nobody knows what is coming next. One of my favorites in the game right now. Tully wins the title by being Tully... the low blow is just what I would have expected. Can Rich get his title back? We will see! Great show and TNT just keeps rolling

Great show! I missed your style over the last few months. I loved the Ric Flair interview and I wonder if he will rethink his decision about Paul Jones or if Jones will search for revenge. JYD is here and he will go over big time! I hope he gets some friends with him cause there are some bad heels here in Alabama Rogers making fun if Rougeau's name was funny! That could turn into a nice midcard feud. Can't wait for the big show in Pensacola.

The Coral: Calgary: February 28, 1984 Keiji Mutoh defeats Tony Torres with moonsault as he wows the crowd in his first house show. Mongolian Stomper vs Verlon Biggs ends in total chaos as Bad News Allen returned to Calgary for the first time since the riot. This time Allen came as a spectator but he was surrounded by security. Stomper gained the victory over Biggs with the Sleeper but then he noticed Allen and went on the attack. It turned out that the security guards were Allen’s own and they beat Stomper down before taking him out in handcuffs. This almost caused another riot in Calgary. Eddie Gilbert with Precious defeats Mr. Wrestling II as Precious hit II with the loaded purse. Jimmy Garvin came out and gave a few shots to Wrestling II when all of a sudden Mutoh came out and nailed both members of Hot Stuff Inc. with Super Kicks! Dick Murdoch vs Wahoo McDaniel ended in a Double Count Out Greg Gagne & Brad Rheingans vs Jos Leduc and a mystery partner: The mystery partner turned out to be none other than Davey Boy Smith as it seems the Commonwealth Connection has replaced Jonathan Boyd. As for the match, it looked like the fan favorites were going to pull this one out as Rheingans connected with a Suplex on Leduc. Somehow Smith made the save but this is when the ref began to loose control as all 4 men where battling it out. The crowd began to cheer as the Dynamite Kid came rushing down to the ring but to their shock, he clocked Gagne with a chair and the Commonwealth Connection celebrated a victory. The fans couldn’t believe it as both Davey Boy and Dynamite turned on them in the same match. Rick Martel & Curt Hennig vs The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering: A complete and total war that nearly 25 minutes that finally saw the Road Warriors get the win with the Doomsday Device on Martel. You could see the disappointment and frustration on Hennig and Martel as the know they had the AWA tag titles in their sights before Curt was injured and now they can’t even get a title shot against the Sheiks. AWA LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Dynamite Kid vs Keith Hart: Hart was going to be the fan favorite here in Calgary but there is no doubt know after Dynamite’s earlier actions. Hart is doing great until we see Leduc and Davey Boy Smith come down to ringside. Kid goes absolutely wild with kicks and punches and then finishes off Hart with a Diving Headbut. The victory was not enough as the new Commonwealth Connection takes a few more shots at Keith Hart before tossing him to the floor. NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Rick Rude vs King Konga vs Bret Hart: While the night has not been going really well for the fan favorites, this one can change all of that but the odds are stacked against Bret in this one. Rude and Konga quickly realize that as long as they don’t tag in Bret, one of them will become the new North American Title. Rude and Konga are really throwing everything at the kitchen sink after each other but neither can claim the victory. Bret is looking nervous on the outside as he can’t seem to get into the action. Rude whips Konga into the ropes and as he comes off the Double Clothesline each other and both are down. Hart rushes into the ring and drags Konga over to his corner. Hart exits the ring and legally tags himself into the ring and dumps out onto the floor and then puts Rude into the Northern Lights Cloverleaf. Rude is basically out on his feet and after the ref drops the arm for the third time, Hart is declared the winner! All is well that ends well!

Great show and just as it should be in the Pacific Northwest as all are chasing the Playboy! Nice match between Star and Yamada as the rookie is quickly making a name for himself. Also, your tag division is fun with a lot of quality teams with contrasting styles. Should be very interesting!

All Star is sending Roger Smith, Don Bass and Porkchop Cash to Southeastern and will add Ali Bey, Ciclon Negro and Bart Batten to fill the roster spots

AWA ALL-STAR WRESTLING: February 24, 1984: WGN TV: Sales Pavilion, Edmonton From coast to coast, continent to continent and border to border, we welcome you to AWA All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton. I am Rod Trongard and joining me will be Gene Okerlund. STORYLINE #1: AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE We get video tape highlights from the Denver Auditorium of the Lights Out Non-title match between Randy Savage and Bret Hart that ended in a time limit draw and then we head to the ring for Randy Savage’s first TV match here in All-Star. Match: Randy Savage destroys Buck Zumhofe with the end coming with Top Rope Elbow Drop Randy Savage: Oh yeah! If this is how Verne Gagne want’s it… that is fine with me. I will leave bodies all over All-Star Wrestling until he declares me the #1 contender for the North American title. I already proved that Bret Hart can’t beat me in Denver. The longer Verne makes me wait, the more bodies he will have to clean up #1 CONTENDER’S MATCH: NORTH AMERICAN TITLE: WINNER GETS MATCH THIS WEEK IN CALGARY King Konga with Paul Ellering vs Rick Rude with Bobby Heenan This could be the TV match of the year so far. Both wrestlers have been on such a roll of late that it would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. Both men try to use their power to their advantage and we get a lot of big moves. Ellering and Heenan were at their best here and were able to protect their men. Whether it was by distracting the ref or interfering just enough as to not be DQ’ed, Ellering and Heenan played a major role. Even though neither man was able to hit their finisher, we had a lot of near falls. The problem for everyone is that the 10 minute time expired without a winner! Nobody new what to do until Verne come out and explained that since we had no winner, the AWA North American Title Match was going to be a three-way match where whoever claimed the win, would get the title even if they did not defeat Bret Hart. Stu Hart came running out and for the first time, we see the two heads of All-Star on different sides. Stu thinks Verne is setting up his son for failure but Verne sees no other way out. Later in the show, Bret does an interview with Okerlund where he seems very concerned about the three-way match in Calgary but he is determined not to let his hometown fans in Calgary down! STORYLINE #2: THE YOUNG LIONS TOURNAMENT Trodgard reminds everyone that in the near future, AWA All-Star Wrestling will begin a round robin tournament for all wrestlers under the age of 25 with the winner being crowned the AWA Young Lion of the Year. Mr. Wrestling II, one of the trainers of some of the young wrestlers, comes out and says he is very excited about this tournament and let’s us know that we are about to see one of the Young Lions in action. Match: Keiji Mutoh beats Tom Stone Mr. Wrestling II stays with Trongard for this match and gives us some background on Mutoh who he says he found in a Dojo in Japan and was so impressed that he had to bring him back to the States and the AWA. As for the match, Mutoh does not disappoint. For someone so young, he has all the moves and seems very poised. The crowd was amazed at his high flying arsenal and by the end, when he hit what Wrestling II called a Moonsault…. Even Trongard was impressed and couldn’t wait for the Young Lions Tournament to start. Mr. Wrestling II says he has to relax as many new Young Lions are on their way to the AWA! Eddie Gilbert, who seems to have no respect for Wrestling II or any of the new young lions comes to the ring and confronts Mutoh. Mutoh obviously can’t understand him but knows Gilbert means business. As soon as Gilbert puts his hand on Mutoh…. Rod Trongard: Oh My God! What was that. Mutoh just leaped in the air and scissored the head of Gilbert and then flipped him over and is now sitting on his head. Wrestling II: Hahhah… Rod that was the Huracanrana! STORYLINE #3: THE AWA WORLD TITLE Gene Okerlund: Well fans, with me right now, is the AWA World Champion… Jerry Lawler Jerry Lawler: I think you meant… King Jerry Lawler. Well, last week the bloated maniac returned from Japan and says I stole his title by paying off the ref. I mean come on Hulk. Win like a man and lose like a man. Then he says that I have to give him his rematch. I offered him that rematch for three weeks and never once did I hear back from him. Gene Okerlund: Come on now Lawler… you know darn well Hogan was in Japan. Jerry Lawler: That is not my problem. If this belt doesn’t mean enough for Hogan to take his rematch when it was offered, he simply doesn’t get one. Other contenders have worked hard and I will be granting them their title shots first. Hogan can simply wait in line. In a rare tv match, Lawler actually puts the belt on the line MATCH: AWA TITLE MATCH: Jerry Lawler defeats Steve O with the Middle Rope Fist Drop This was not as easy as Lawler would have liked. In fact, Steve O almost pulled the upset when he hit a Lou Thesz press and got a 2 ½ count. Part of the reason for this is the crowd was chanting “We want Hulk… We want Hulk,” over and over again and it seemed to unnerve the champ who is used to having the fans in Memphis eating out of his hand. STORYLINE #4: AWA WORLD TAG TEAMT TITLE The Road Warriors w/ Ellering crush Brian Blair & Tom Zenk with the Doomsday Device on Zenk MATCH: Rick Martel & Curt Hennig defeat the Assassins with the Cradle Suplex by Hennig on #1 Both of these matches are pushing these two monster teams on a collision course to be the #1 contenders to the Sheiks (Blackwell & Patera) AWA World Tag Title. Both teams claim they are next in line for the title shot and how they don’t mind going through the other. Later in the show, we find out that is exactly what is going to happen as these two teams will face off in Calgary. STORYLINE #5: THE AWA LIGH HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Dynamite Kid is still in the AWA Pacific so Verne uses tonight’s show to find an opponent for Dynamite to defend his title against in Calgary MATCH: Steve Regal vs Keith Hart Another fast paced, light heavyweight match and the crowd here in Canada was completely behind Hart and when Keith worked over the knees of Saito and finished him off with the Figure Four, the crowd was excited for another Hart’s title match in Calgary. Those in the know, are sure this happened after a closed door argument between Verne and Stu about setting up his son, Bret, in that 3 Way Title Match where Bret must beat both Rude and Konga to keep his title. STORYLINE #6: THE MONGOLIAN STOMPER SEARCHING FOR REVENGE ON BAD NEWS ALLEN MATCH: Frank Adams defeats the Mongolian Stomper by count-out The problem here came with Stomper noticed Bad News Allen sitting in the front row. Trongard said that this was not in violation of his suspension as he was only banned from competing and not attending wrestling events. Stomper left the ring and went right after Bad News Allen who seemed ready for this attack. As Stomper headed right into the stands, he and Allen began throwing haymakers. Since Allen was in essence a “fan,” security by the boat loads rushed in and separated the two. This is going to get real interesting as Allen’s suspension ends next week! OTHER MATCHES MATCH: Jules Strongbow & Wahoo defeat Verlon Biggs and Larry Cheatum Wahoo is a huge upgrade to this Indian tag team but it will be interesting to see if they can make a dent in this crowded division. MATCH: Brad Rheingans vs Jos Leduc We find out that Jonathan Boyd, Leduc’s partner was injured last week at the hands of Rheingans so this is all about revenge. What we get is an all-out brawl that ends in a double count-out. Trongard wonders what is going to happen this week in Calgary as Rheingans and Greg Gagne were set to face Leduc and Boyd. Leduc swears that he has a new partner and the Commonwealth Connection will be just fine as Boyd heals. MATCH: Dick Murdoch defeats Brian Blair with the Brainbuster Blair has recently signed with the AWA and was hoping to have some of the same success he has had in other territories but Murdoch might have proved to him to stay out of the singles side of the action as Murdoch was on top for almost the entire match. Murdoch, one of the toughest in all of wrestling, just went to work and made this a brawl instead of a wrestling match and after a few big right hands he finished off the youngster with a Brainbuster. MATCH: Abdullah the Butcher with Sheik Adnan crushes Tom Birch with the end coming by Big Splash The Coral: Calgary: February 28, 1984 Keiji Mutoh vs Tony Torres Mongolian Stomper vs Verlon Biggs Dick Murdoch vs Wahoo McDaniel Greg Gagne & Brad Rheingans vs Jos Leduc and a mystery partner Dick Murdoch vs Wahoo McDaniel Rick Martel & Curt Hennig vs The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering AWA LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Dynamite Kid vs Keith Hart NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Rick Rude vs King Konga vs Bret Hart

All good. I will leave the rosters the same on the page and you guys can switch back when you want.

AWA BREAKING NEWS It appears that Ron Fuller and Southeastern Championship Wrestling have decided to jump on board with the AWA and break ties with the NWA. Ron Fuller, struggling for national exposure made the move in hopes of securing a national TV show as he has seen the success of the other promotions who have weekly shows on the USA Network, TBS, WGN and ESPN. The deal became a No Brainer for Verne Gagne when it become obvious that the deal included the NWA Champion Ric Flair. Hulk Hogan was given a huge contract to stay away from the WWF and rumor has it, Ric Flair received the exact same contract. Other wrestling stars coming to the AWA as part of this deal include Junk Yard Dog, Robert Fuller, Jerry Stubbs, Bob Armstrong and Superstar Billy Graham. Rumor has it that ESPN executives are salivating at the chance to get Ric Flair on one of their prime time shows. Stay tuned.... who could be next? Cowboy Bill Watts, Fritz Von Erich, the Grahams in Florida or maybe even Vince himself will succumb to the power that is AWA Wrestling!

Nice show with some big angles being developed. I am very interested in Ted Dibiase here. He is playing a babyface but acting like a heel. I wonder which side will win out. Brad Armstrong seems to have found some help in Al Perez but that might not be enough against the likes of Arn, Ole and Sawyer. Hart vs Poffo is an interesting feud that seems to be underway. Hart was such an awesome heel manager but Poffo is so evil here. It will be interesting to see who gets the first push between Hall and Michaels. Hall was a really good rookie and might be able to handle more but Michaels is hard to keep down.

All-star adds Buck Zumhofe and releases Jonathan Boyd

I am enjoying the rise in popularity of Bobby Jaggers and I think you might be the one territory where that makes a lot of sense. Nice creativity. Poor Rock N Roll Zumhofe but what did he expect. Brody is a wildman! And a wild a deep tag team division gets even better with the Sheepherders. Can't wait to see finally rises to the top here. The fans always seem like that NO DQ stipulation but sometimes it backfires as it did here as Hickerson was free to attack Cocoa and help Adrian pull out a victory. Maybe Cocoa needs some help. Great heel turn with Tsuruta and another mid-card feud is underway and clears some room in that deep tag division. Tully was so close and it seems like this feud will keep going. Rich is a nice choice as the fans love him but Tully is a tough one. Can't wait for the next round. Schultz and Sweetan are becoming a major headache for TNT. Will be interesting if Atlas can get some help and get another shot at them. Never really knew much about Ratymus but he is becoming one of my favorite heels! Imagine a card where Funk vs Race was not the main event.... what a roster and you have set it up to sell ticket and ticket! It seems like even with a card as big as this, the crowd would be talking about Idol and Ayala for years. Awesome match... like Stallone and Apolllo. Lawler, as I think only Lawler could do continues to be able to be the top babyface in TNT and the top heel in All-Star. Great win here over Bockwinkle. A lot of hard work went into this one! Great job.

And the crowd goes home very happy! I good day for all the babyfaces here with some awesome debuts by Yamada and Blackjack! On the other side, a monster heel has arrived and it will be interesting to see how far KKB goes!
