UWF releases Grizzly Boone

6/28/1986 RIVERSIDE CENTROPLEX BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA (HOUR #2) The 1st Qualifier for the UWF 4 Corner Title Match at the Bash Exotic Adrian Street & Adorable Adrian Adonis with Miss. Linda vs The Midnight Express Jim Ross reminds us that the winner of the match will be entered into the 4 Corner Match for the vacant UWF Tag Titles since the Road Warriors were stripped of that title last week for not competing in the UWF in 30 days due to World Title commitments. As for the match, this one is as even as it gets. The fan favorites take the early momentum but after an eye gouge by Condrey on Street, we see the Midnight Express get their time wrestling from the top. As we head to the 10 minute time limit, Adonis locks in the Good Night Irene and Cornette sees his chance at the UWF title slipping away. Eaton rushes in but the ref forces him back out but this allowed Cornette the chance to rush in and clobber Adonis with the tennis racket. Exotic Adrian was furious and took off after Cornette who was running circles around the ring. Miss Linda was waiting and sprayed perfume into his eyes and Cornette crumbled to the ground. Unfortunately when this was going on, Condrey tagged in Eaton who climbed to the top rope and connected with the Alabama Jammer for the win! COMMERCIAL The 2nd Qualifier for the UWF 4 Corner Title Match at the Bash The Long Riders vs Brad Armstrong & Jeff Jarrett The Long Riders have struggled a bit of late and this is no different as them seem to be looking over their back. In this one, their fear seemed to be confirmed as Street and Adonis wondered out with make-up bags. This seemed to be a reminder of last week as the tough and rugged cowboys left the arena looking like they were in clown face. This distraction was enough for JJ to hit Black Bart with the Inverted Russian Legsweep. Jim Ross hyped up this win as it put Armstrong and JJ into the 4 Corners tag match for the UWF titles at the Bash The 3rd Qualifier for the UWF 4 Corner Title Match at the Bash Doom vs Big Bubba Ottman & Grizzly Boone with Ron Wright A bad night for Ron Wright just got worse! Ottman and Boone might have a lot of mass but that was all they had here. Doom combined such power and speed that Wright’s Army couldn’t get out of their own way. In the end, Simmons and Reed hit a double flying shoulder smash on Ottman for the pin. COMMERCIAL 4th Qualifier for the UWF 4 Corner Title Match at the Bash Devastation Inc (Dr. Death & The Barbarian) with Skandar Akbar vs Ole Anderson & Giant Baba A true main event for TV here and we end up with Devastation Inc. trying to turn this into a brawl while Anderson and Baba tried to zap them of their power by working a lot of joint holds. Anderson really hoped to keep the Barbarian from flying with his top rope shoulder block by taking out his legs. Baba used a lot of leverage holds on Dr. Death trying to take away his ability to hit the big power moves. In the end, Dr. Death was able to hit the Oklahoma Stampede on Ole Anderson for a surprising clean victory. After Jim Ross finishes hyping up the 4 winners tonight in the tag qualifiers; Cowboy Bill Watts takes over the show. Cowboy Bill Watts: As much as I hate to do this, the UWF Board of Directors has asked me to call out Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt Cowboy Bill Watts: Nothing in my mind has changed. You two disgust me! I mean I have zero respect for either of you. Missy Hyatt could care less as she is fileling her nails and Eddie Gilber has the biggest smirk across his face. Cowboy Bill Watts: Last week, Lex Luger signed a contract for a match against you at the Great American Bash for the Southern Title. Eddie Gilbert: Of course he did. I mean our plan has worked to perfection. Insult the big muscle head and give a few Hotshots to his girl and you could make him do whatever you wanted. Now I have him where I want him. And I can’t wait to next week on this show when you have to call me Champ! Cowboy Bill Watts: Well for now, I will just call you chump. And chump, I am confused. You wanted a title match and Luger signed the contract last week but you have yet to sign it? Missy Hyatt: Let’s just say Eddie and I were occupied in one of my father’s hundreds of Hyatt International Hotels. Cowboy Bill Watts: And again, more class from Missy Hyatt. Eddie, this show ends in less then a minute. If you don’t sign the contract, you will not have a title match at the Great American Bash. Eddie Gilbert: There is a lot of things I can do in a minute! Give me the contract Watts gives him the contract and a pen and Eddie, with a grin on his face, signs the contract. Cowboy Bill Watts: I guess there are a lot of things you can do in a minute… but reading isn’t one of them. Eddie Gilbert: What are you talking about? Cowboy Bill Watts: I can tell by your reaction that you never read the contract. It says right here that your match will have a Special Guest Referee! Eddie Gilbert: What are you talking about? Cowboy Bill Watts: Look, it says right here that the referee will be the last person you and Missy screwed over. That’s right… the referee will be Tommy “Wildfire” Rich! As the crowd goes wild, Gilbert and Hyatt are fuming. Cowboy Bill Watts: Oh and that is not all the contract said. If Eddie Gilbert doesn’t win, Missy Hyatt MUST LEAVE THE UWF! Eddie Gilbert: This is unfair. This is a set up! Cowboy Bill Watts: What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. The show fades to black and then we see a big promo for the Bash.

I enjoyed the TIger Jeet and Tony St. Clair trading run-ins here. NIce job with the main event continue your big angles without giving to much away. Really hoping Sweet Brown Sugar continues on his roll here. I have only seen a little of Pacific Northwest Wrestling but Rip Oliver seemed to be great as a babyface and as a heel. Looking forward to seeing this new aspect of Oliver. Putting Idol over the Iron Sheik here keeps him hot for his his next foreign encounter with the World Champ!

I was having trouble but then starting typing in https://forums.prowrestlingonly.com and have been getting on better. Before I had just gone to the prowrestlingonly site

It will be interesting at Shea to see if the 4 Horseman are really in control of the WWF

6/28/1986 RIVERSIDE CENTROPLEX BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA (HOUR #1) The show starts with a video tape of Nikita Koloff vs Giant Baba from this week’s big show from the Omni in Atlanta, Georgia. · The match gives us a minute or two of some nice back and forth between Nikita and Baba were Baba is chopping away on Koloff and he is answering with big forearm smashes. Ivan and the Russian Assassin jump up on the apron which distracts Baba for just a second but it is enough time for Nikita to come off the ropes with a big Russian Sickle which leads to the three count. Ivan and the Assassin hit the ring in celebration as Magnum T.A. and Ole Anderson come to the ring to make sure nothing else happens to Baba. After a tense stare down between Nikita and Magnum they both can’t control themselves and the brawl to end all brawls ensues between the two biggest names in the UWF today. Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from the Riverside Centroplex in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. Before our first match, let’s bring out Magnum T.A. Jim Ross: Well Magnum, we just saw the raw emotion spill over between you and Nikita Koloff last week in the Omni. Magnum T.A.: Jim, I just couldn’t take it anymore. I mean it is always 3-1 when you fight the Russians. In fact, Giant Baba told me he is so fed up that he is going to return to Japan soon to get his head on straight but that he will be back. Nikita is great. I am taking nothing away from him but the idea that Ivan and that Russian Assassin or Assassins, whoever they may be, sticken their noses in is just so frustrating. And watching Nikita prance around with our NWA Title and listening to Ivan claim the superiority to America just makes me sick to my stomach! Cowboy Bill Watts: Well I have some good news for you Magnum… The NWA Board of Directors has granted you a World Title shot for next week in the Louisiana Superdome at the Great American Bash! Magnum T.A.: Well I promise you one thing Mr. Watts. I am going to give it my all to put that title back around the waist of someone who respects this country. Ivan Koloff rushes out and begins to argue that T.A. doesn’t deserve a world title shot but Watts uses Ivan’s words from last week against him as he reminds Ivan that he said that all the best wrestlers are from Russian and how they are superior to our UWF champion, Magnum T.A. Watts then reminds Koloff that Magnum beat Russian Assassin #2 in under 10 seconds right here on TV. As we go to break, Ivan Koloff is last stumbling over his words as Jim Ross is hyping up Magnum T.A.’s world title shot. COMMERCIAL Tim Horner defeats Frank Dalton with the Rolling Cradle Jim Ross really hypes up Horner’s success since returning to the UWF. The crowd is also liking his feistiness since his return as he was quick to trade blows with Billy the Kid. After the match, Bullet Bob Armstrong and JYD are at the interview desk where Armstrong is excited about his upcoming match with Ron Fuller at the Great American Bash. This brings out Ron Wright and Ron Fuller. Ron Wright: I mean how dumb can one person be. We keep telling you Armstrong that you must prove yourself over and over again before you deserve to get in the ring with the Stud. Ron Fuller: I am sorry to do this to you Colonel Wright but this is the first time I have ever had to disagree with you. All Armstrongs are that dumb! JYD begins to jump towards Fuller but the Bullet holds him back and reminds him that he can’t let their tactics get under his skin. Bob Armstrong: Ok Wright. I have already gone through Killer Khan, Big Bubba Ottman and Grizzly Boone. What else are you going to have me to before that coward next to you will actually get in the ring with me. Ron Wright: Well we have only one more test for you…. Today you must beat Dick Murdoch. Bob Armstrong simply nods but Jim Ross is concerned! Jim Ross: Oh come on Wright… this is ridiculous. Dick Murdoch is a ornery as a rattle snake sunning himself on top of a cactus. You know the doctors have warned Bullet Bob here about wrestling at all never mind against the likes of Dick Murdoch. Can’t you do something about this Cowboy Watts? Cowboy Bill Watts: Unfortunately, I can’t. It was Ron Wright who bought the contract of Ron Fuller from Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and he, for now, controls when and against who Fuller will wrestle. But Ron Wright’s contract belongs to me and if he doesn’t keep his word tonight, he will be suspended. Ron Wright: That is fair. If the Unchristian Armstrong here defeats Captain Murdoch, he will get a Leather Strap Match against the Tennessee Stud at the Bash. Cowboy Bill Watts: One more thing, I do control the contracts of all of your other men including Dick Murdoch and I have just added another match to the Great American Bash…. It will be Dick Murdoch and the Junkyard Dog. JYD immediately starts barking at the moon as Ron Wright wonders if he messed up making Armstrong jump through so many hoops to get at the Stud. COMMERCIAL Haku with Skandar Akbar destroys DJ Peterson with the end coming by way of the Tongan Death Grip. At the interview desk, Akbar is laughing at poor how poor Superstar Graham must meet the monster Haku at the Great American Bash and that is just a week after he took a trip over to Mid-Atlantic and had his ribs crushed by King Kong Bundy and a Giant Splash The Spoiler beat Mike George with the Bionic Claw COMMERCIAL Dick Murdoch with Ron Wright vs Bullet Bob Armstrong Jim Ross reminds us that if Bullet Bob wins, he gets his shot at the Tennessee Stud at the Bash in a Leather Strap Match! He goes through the fact that Armstrong has had to run the Gauntlet of Ron Wright’s Army just to get to this point. He also reminds us that Bullet could soften up Murdoch for JYD in their match in New Orleans. Murdoch attacks before the bell and takes the early momentum and goes right after the injured ribs of the Bullet. Armstrong begins to make a comeback but Wright jumps up on the apron. As the ref goes to admonish Wright, the Tennessee Stud rushes to the ring on the opposite side. We can see him loading up the Brass Knuckles as Murdoch grabs Armstrong. The crowd explodes as JYD is in a full sprint and slides under the bottom rope. As Fuller winds up, JYD comes up from behind Murdoch and quickly kicks him from behind with a low blow. Murdoch let’s go of Armstrong who slips to the side. Wham! Fuller clocks Murdoch with the Brass Knuckles and he is out! JYD headbutts Fuller through the middle rope and rushes after him as Armstrong covers Murdoch just as Wright jumps down from the apron. The ref turns and sees Armstrong on top of Murdoch and makes the three count, Wright is stunned as he thought it was Murdoch covering Armstrong. Fuller is beside himself as now he knows he must face the music at the Bash!

Done

Chicky getting a dark look to his face after talking with Dirty Dutch... oh I wonder what is next! That was a great interview,

6/21/1986 CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE McKENZIE ARENA (HOUR #2) Match Dr. Death & The Barbarian with Skandar Akbar destroy DJ Peterson & Homer O’dell Skandar Abar: Well Cowboy Bill Watts… I am glad you are here. Each week I listen to you stand up here and complain about people like me or Ron Wright or Ivan Koloff and you say all we do is break the rules. Cowboy Bill Watts: Ok Akbar…. What do you have up your sleeve in that dress you are wearing? Skandar Akbar: There you go again… insulting me for no reason. Well if you truly care about the integrity of the UWF as you claim that you do, it is time to strip the Road Warriors of the UWF Tag Titles they currently have and hand them over to Devastation Inc. Cowboy Bill Watts: And why would I do that? Skandar Akbar: Rules… simply rules. Let me ask you a question. When the Road Warriors won the World Tag Team Titles, is it not true that you said they would continue to hold the UWF titles at the same time and that when they were in the UWF, both the UWF titles and the NWA World titles would be on the line and when they wrestled in another NWA territory, only the World titles would be on the line. Cowboy Bill Watts: True but I still don’t get your point. Skandar Akbar: Well as the UWF tag champs, they must follow the UWF rules to hold those titles. Well they have not wrestled in the UWF since the Memorial Day Bash on May 24th. I know they are not in the building tonight and they are not scheduled to wrestle in the Omni as they are booked on a week long trip. Therefore they have not defended the UWF tag belts in over 30 days and by YOUR bylaws they must be stripped of their titles and since Devastation Inc. is the Number 1 contenders to those titles, you should just hand me the belts. Cowboy Bill Watts takes a moment to think about this and decides that Akbar is partially correct. The Road Warriors are in violation of the 30 day rule and will be stripped of their belts but he does not agree to just hand the belts over to Devastation Inc. Cowboy Bill Watts: This is what we are going to do. There will be 4 tag matches next week on television and the 4 winners will face each other in a Four Corners Match at the Great American Bash. The only thing I can tell you right now is that your Devastation Inc., Doom and the Midnight Express will be three of the 8 teams involved! Akbar seems somewhat satisfied as he succeeded in getting the RW’s stripped of the titles but he was not given the UWF tag belts as he hoped. COMMERCIAL MATCH: UWF Continental Title Match: “Dirty” Dick Slater vs Hacksaw Reed Both Ross and Watts hype this up as a main event anywhere in the country and it is right here on TV for all of the UWF fans to see! While this match begins, Jim Cornette is at the interview desk where for once, he is praising Cowboy Bill Watts as he is now excited that his Midnight Express has a chance at winning the UWF Title Matches at the Bash which is much better then he thought could happen Kendall Windham defeats Brutus Beekcake with the Running Bulldog Windham continued to hype up how he is going to get revenge on HTM for cracking him over the head with the guitar a few weeks ago. COMMERCIAL Superstar Billy Graham beats The Warlord with Skandar Akbar with the Bearhug The only problem here was that Haku hit the ring as soon as the Warlord submitted and gave Graham a huge beatdown that made Jim Ross very concerned if Superstar would be healthy enough to face Haku at the Bash and if he is healthy enough, does he even stand a chance against Akbar’s newest monster. The only thing that saved Graham here was that the locker room emptied from the back and pulled the man from Tonga off Graham. Both Jim Ross and Kendall Windham were really disturbed as we went to break. Russian Assassin #2 beats Frank Dalton with a Piledriver The problem here was that the Russian Assassin went for a second piledriver on Dalton but Giant Baba hits the ring and starts kicking away on the Russian Assassin. After a few Big Boots by Baba, he goes for the mask of the Assassin. Somehow, the Assassin is able to wiggle free and head for the hills COMMERCIAL After the break, we see a fired-up Magnum T.A. at the interview desk where he continues to express anger at the actions of the Russians. He takes some time in hyping up the fact that Giant Baba is going to take the World title from Nikita Koloff tomorrow night at the Omni in Atlanta. This brings out Uncle Ivan to the interview desk Ivan Koloff: I have known for a long time that Americans are stupid but right now Magnum T.A., you are proving my point. Giant Baba was NWA champion… yes that is true but it was a long, long time ago. Giant Baba is the past. The Russian Nightmare is the present. He is unbeatable and Giant Baba better be careful if he ever wants to return to his country and live a normal life. Magnum T.A.: Ok Ivan, that is all I can take. You talk week in and week out about how unstoppable Russia is and how bad America is. How about this, you get in the ring with me right now and I will prove to you which nation is superior. As the crowd pops, Ivan claims that he is not ready to wrestle tonight even though he would love to put Magnum in his place. As the crowd boos, Ivan does actually give them something they want. He tells Magnum to go to the ring and he will go get him an opponent that will take that UWF title from him! Jim Ross and Cowboy Bill Watts are hoping it is Nikita Koloff but it turns out to be another man in a red mask. Impromptu Match for the UWF Heavyweight Title: Magnum T.A. VS Russian Assassin #2? This Russian Assassin is charging down the aisle after T.A but is met with a fist as he tried to come through the middle ropes. T.A. drags him into the ring and whips him across. As he comes off, we see the Belly to Belly Suplex and this match goes all of about 10 seconds! T.A. goes right for the mask and it appears that it is coming off! This is where Ivan and Nikita hit the ring like a house afire and really give Magnum a good beating. We see T.A. hit by the Russian Sickle and then Ivan drag him up and just as it looks like he s going to get a second Russian Sickle, the screen fades to black.

Great mix of talent here. Was surprised to OMG go down here but that it mainly because I know so little of Keith Hart. I must study up on my Canadian wrestling. Liked the RW -Samoan Swat Tag match as that is a perfect fit for the WOrld Champs... some big dudes who like to mix it up with the title on the line would have the crowd really into this main event.

Great TV show that leads you nicely to the Bash. I thought Duggan rushing out with the 2x4 was kind of a heel thing to do which was great as it shows how serious this feud has gotten that even the babyfaces are out of control.... perfect! Professor Bob calling Backlund the cheater was funny. Glad Wildfire has found a home and a mid-level title feud fits him perfectly at this point! Schiavone: Ok there you have it, ... just this quote brings me back to my childhood. You have him down pat. Race-Orndorff is a great match as it could go either way! Between Dibiase, Duggan, Orndorff and Race, it seems like you have your biggest stars right where you want them... at the top!

This card has such great balance that it must have something for every type of wrestling fan. Looking forward to your write up here

A great southern Rastlin Bash is coming!

Love the Mantel/Jaggers feud here and find it interesting that we had to leave the country to get it.

Love OMG and Benoit is quickly becoming the Crippler!

6/21/1986 CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE McKENZIE ARENA (HOUR #1) The show starts with a video montage of some of the big matches from this past week’s event at the Checkerdome in St. Louis. Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert defeated Baby Doll and Lex Luger in an intergender match that saw Gilbert hit Baby Doll with another Hot Shot even though this match was to be men vs men and women vs women. During some chaos, the ref was knocked down and this is when Gilbert caught Baby Doll. Luger rushed in after Gilbert who took off up the aisle but Gilbert tagged in Missy who made the pin. Magnum T.A. and Ole Anderson beat Ivan Koloff and the Russian Assassin in a Double Russian Chain Match as Ole and T.A. clocked them both with the chain and then T.A. caught them both with the Belly to Belly. Nikita rushed out but so did Giant Baba and these two brawled in the aisle! Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from the McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. Before our first match, let’s bring out the UWF Southern Champ, Lex Luger and Baby Doll. Lex Luger: Eddie Gilbert… you must have some plan in your pea brain to get this Southern Title around your waist. Two weeks in a row, you act like the World’s Biggest Coward by sneaking up on a woman and lifting her up and dropping her throat first across the top rope. If you think this is bothering me, you are Damn Right it is bothering me but let’s be certain, it is not going to make me loose my focus. In fact, I have never been more focused in my life. I was just in the back signing the contract for our match at the Great American Bash in the Superdome. If you have any guts, you will sign the contract tonight! Baby Doll: Missy Hyatt … All I got to tell you is that you better have eyes behind your back because I am coming for you. And Eddie Gilbert … you think you are some kind of big man hitting a woman. Well, I got no problem taking you out to. In fact, if you want to meet me in the ring, just let me know. Match Tim Horner defeats Ken Dillenger with the Rolling Cradle Jim Ross really hyped up Horner’s return to the UWF as the youngster really got the crowd into it. Horner begin the match showing off his technical skill but then Dillenger turned to the dirty tactics and Horner showed he was pretty good at mixing it up to. COMMERCIAL As we come out of break we see Bullet Bob Armstrong at the interview desk where Jim Ross reminds us that last week he beat Killer Khan which earned him a shot at revenge against the Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller at The Great American Bash on July 4th at the Louisiana Superdome. Bob Armstrong, who still has his ribs tapped up from the attack a few weeks again by Ron Wright’s Army, is telling everyone what he is going to do to Fuller when all of a sudden, The Stud and Ron Wright come out to the podium. Ron Fuller: As much as it is would be like old times with me beating your behind all over the ring at the Bash, I do think there was some misunderstanding. Bob Armstrong: What are you talking about Fuller. That clown next to you said last week that if I beat Killer Khan, you would step into the ring with me at the Bash. Sounds like you are the same old coward I have known for a long time. Ron Fuller: Tell um Colonel Wright… these fans have already heard enough from the best looking man they will ever see. If I keep talking these college girls are going to go into heat. Ron Wright: Just like many of the heathens out here today… you don’t listen so well Bob Armstrong. Last week I said that you would have to prove yourself over and over again to see if you deserved a shot at the Stud at the Great American Bash. Well, last week was only the first match of my Gauntlet test. Tonight, you will need to find a partner to face Grizzly Boon and Big Bubba Ottman… that’s right, the two men who put you in the hospital! As Ron Wright and Fuller walk off, Bob Armstrong looks frustrated but then we see his face break into a big smile. Match Honky Tonk Man beats Mike Graham with the Shake Rattle & Roll At the interview desk, we find out that it will be HTM vs Kendall Windham at the Great American Bash as Windham will be looking for some revenge from HTM’s guitar shot on him a few weeks ago. Honky Tonk Man: Oh brother. Must I waste my time with Windham again. I just beat him two weeks ago and now I must to do it again. This is not the treatment one would expect of a big star like myself. Nothing personal against Windham but I am here for one reason and that is Jerry Lawler. I have been calling him out for three weeks and three weeks he has been a No Show! I think it is time we start calling myself the King! Your old King has been dethroned! Lawler, the Coward of Memphis, has run to Texas to avoid me! If any of you people in Chattanooga have Lawler’s phone number, tell him I will be looking for him in Atlanta tomorrow night and that if he has the guts, I will official take his crown inside the ring. Match: Adorable Adrian Adonis with Miss. Linda beats Cowboy Tom Stone with the Goodnight Irene Adonis is joined by Exotic Adrian Street at the interview desk where we get a review of how they put make up all over the faces of Ron Bass and Black Bart last week. We also find out that it will be Adonis and Street vs Bass and Bart in a Loser Leave Town Match at the Great American Bash COMMERCIAL Match Haku with Skandar Akbar destroys Steve Gatorwolf with the end coming by way of the Tongan Death Grip. At the interview desk, Akbar is praising his latest prize possession and we also find out that it will be Haku vs Superstar Billy Graham at the Great American Bash. Skandar Akbar: You Americans are just too sentimental. You hold on to things way to long and that is exactly what you have done with Superstar Billy Graham. Yes he was great in his day but his day has long since past. While he still has all the muscles … that is all he now has. Haku is a killing machine and come the Great American Bash, Superstar Graham will no longer be considered a professional wrestler! Match The Hollywood Blondes with Luscious Johnny Valiant vs Brad Armstrong & Jeff Jarrett A great TV match here that sees Johnny Valiant at his most devious. Tatum did such a great job here of playing the cowardly heel and the young Jeff Jarrett lost patience and took off after him outside of the ring and as he came around the Corner, Valiant took he knees out with a real dirty chop block. This was all the Nature Boy needed as he now went to work on the legs of JJ. Brad did his best to carry the team but even he got caught up, literally, with Valiant nonsense. Somehow Valiant was on the apron as Brad was whipped into the ropes. As Brad and Valiant came together they both became entangled and tumbled to the floor. This allowed Landell time to slap on the Figure 4 and even though JJ fought valiantly, he was forced to submit. This match left Jim Ross wondering a couple of things… first, since Brad was just in a match… who would his father’s partner be tonight against Ottman and Boone and secondly, with Valiant being as devious as he was tonight, could the Hollywood Blondes actually take the NWA National Titles from the Rock n Roll Express at the Bash. COMMERCIAL Match Grizzly Boone & Big Bubba Ottman with Ron Wright vs Bob Armstrong and a mystery partner With Wright’s Army already in the ring, Armstrong begins to come out but he is all by himself and Ross and Watts wonder if he is going to go it alone when all of a sudden, the speakers begin to blare. “Da, Da Da, Another One Bites the Dust” and the crowd explodes. Ron Wright and his Army are in shock as Junkyard Dog runs to the ring, dog chain and all. His energy and Bob Armstrongs determination gives the fan favorites the victory despite Ron Wright using every dirty trick he knew. In the end, the Dog stunned Ottman with a few big headbutts and then he tagged in Armstrong who finished off the big man with the Georgia Jawbreaker. JYD: Oh baby! The Dog is back in the UWF and I am here to stay. I left a few months ago out of frustration. I couldn’t even be around people like Ron Wright and Dick Murdoch. I mean this is not 1936. This is 1986! People like Ron Wright and Dick Murdoch are trying to drag people apart. They talk about the Unchristians. They talk of people of my color. I mean come on man. This is 1986 and the Dog aint gonna to take it. When Murdoch and I were tag partners I couldn’t take how he thought he was superior and then he just turned his back on me to join Ron Wright! Well now the Dog is going to take a bite out of both of you. (The Dog gives a few of his barking sounds to the sky) This is 1986! Bob Armstrong: Brother, I completely understand. Ron Wright and his Army got to go and I am starting with Ron Fuller. Thanks Dog and now I guess I am going to get my revenge on Ron Fuller at the Great American Bash!

Great show! You truly have a knack for this sort of thing. I hope you have another project in mind.

I enjoy seeing some of these classic venues in use here. 10 years ago, Superstar would have had KKb up for that slam. Enjoyed seeing Sweet Brown Sugar with a big win here. I always mess up some of these midcard guys in this game and use them only as jobbers. SWB was fun to watch in real life. Just read something that Race could always put on a great show and this was another example of it. Maybe because I never saw him in a consistent basis, I always thought he was kind of boring. What are your opinions of him? I should watch some of his classics and make a better decision

and the revenge of the Midnight Rider continues on the Freebirds. Again, can't say how amazed I am on how quickly you shifted gears here and without missing a beat!

World Class changes everything in a week and doesn't miss a beat. I have never seen an episode without the VonErichs but it was still awesome. Geigel was perfect with his fine of the Freebirds and suspending of the Revolution. I love the screen fading to black on the Midnight Rider.

6/15/1986 HUNTSVILLE, AL VON BRAUN CIVIC CENTER (HOUR #2) Match Giant Baba defeats The Spoiler with a huge Swinging Neckbreaker As soon as the match ends, we see 3 men in red masks surround the ring and it looks like Baba is in for a world of trouble but right after the masked men ascend to the apron they jump back down. All of a sudden, two of the men unmask and they are Ivan and Nikita Koloff who together give the throat cutting sign letting Baba know what he is in for next week in the Omni. The other man never takes off the mask as the entire group heads to the podium. Jim Ross: Ok, so what was that all about Ivan. Ivan Koloff: Last week I told you that Mother Russia has sent the KGB to America to protect Nikita from the corruption that America produces. We know that Nikita is unbeatable in a fair match but it seems Americans never play fair. Cowboy Bill Watts: Now wait a minute Koloff, America is not the ones sending goons in masks to come and threaten the likes of Giant Baba, Ole Anderson and Magnum T.A. Ivan Koloff: If I have learned anything in my time here in this country it is that it is better to attack first then wait for America to steal what we Russians have worked so hard for. Jim Ross: Come on Koloff, you are ridiculous. Ivan Koloff: Whatever you say Jim Ross but we Russians stick together. Just like you Americans. I didn’t see Magnum T.A. or Ole Anderson out here to help their friend Giant Baba. That is because America only helps stinking Americas! All of sudden the crowd explodes as Magnum, Ole and Giant Baba come out to the interview desk and confront the Russians. Jim Ross: Now hold on just a minute. Let’s keep the peace now. Magnum T.A.: Don’t worry Jim These guys are too worried about protecting their reputation then to fight us. They only attack when the numbers are in their advantage. Ivan Koloff: What a surprise. Another American comes out here and all they can do is lie! We will face you anytime you like as long as you put that UWF title on the line. Ole Anderson: Koloff… you and I go back a long time. I used to listen to that propaganda you spew from your mouth and thought you had a point. Now in my old age, I know two things. First of all, you are full of it and secondly, I know that whoever you are hiding under that mask is as much KGB as I am. Now put up or shut up! Baba here is already facing Nikita in the Omni. How about we add some more matches and turn this Cold War hot! Me and you Ivan for old time sake. Ivan Koloff: I would love to get you in the ring and show everyone how I carried you around when we were tag team partners. Show everyone how the mighty Russian was the only reason we were the tag champs but let’s have us some fun …. Let’s make this a Russian Chain Match! Ole Anderson: Deal! I might not be as good as I once was but I will always be good enough to beat you. Magnum T.A: Hold on a second Ole. I want in on this deal. I am sick and tired of these Russians coming to America and putting us down. As Cowboy Bill has said many times… It is all about God, Country and family. Well right now, you are like family and let’s make America proud. How about this Ivan. Double Russian Chain Match. You and that goon in a mask vs Ole and myself this week in St, Louis. Cowboy Bill Watts: I think Magnum is on to something here. What a night it is going to be in St. Louis! COMMERCIAL Match Brad Armstrong & Jeff Jarrett defeats Homer O’dell & Verlon Biggs as Brad hit the Russian Legsweep on Biggs Bullet Bob Armstrong joined Brad and JJ at the interview desk where Bob vowed revenge on all of Ron Wright’s Army but in particular Ron Fuller. Bob Armstrong: I have been in this game too long to make the mistake I made. I should have known a Fuller can never be trusted and scum like Ron Wright and Fuller will always side with each other. I know Bubba Ottman and Grizzly Boone hurt my ribs pretty good but I am on the mend and I am telling all my fans out there that at the Great American Bash, I want Ron Fuller in a No DQ Leather Strap Match so I can whip him to within an inch of his life like the dog he is! Match Terry Taylor beats Brutus Beekcake as he steals victory from defeat As Beekcake locked in the sleeper, it looked to over but Taylor back peddled into the corner forcing the break and then hit the ropes and came off with the flying forearm smash for the win. At the interview desk, Taylor is joined by the Rock n Roll Express and they are having a good time poking fun at Jim Cornette as he locked great inside that cage suspended above the ring. Taylor also is excited for his Continental Title math with Slater at the Great American Bash. The Rock n Roll Express also seem to be a little frustrated by Luscious Johnny and the Hollywood Blondes (Landell & Tatum) calling them out earlier. COMMERCIAL Before our next match, we see Ron Fuller and Ron Wright at the interview desk. Ron Fuller: I told all you people last week that I am the best looking man you have ever seen and that Tennessee Stud doesn’t give anything away for free. Now I hear that Bob Armstrong thinks just because he says so, I am going to get in the ring with him at the Great American Bash. I really have no problem beating him again as I have done so many times but he needs he deserves a shot at me. The Fullers have wasted enough of our careers beating Armstrongs all over the Southern United States. Ron Wright: Oh Stud you are so right. If that Unchristian Armstrong wants a match, he must prove himself …. Over and over again and it starts tonight! Jim Ross: You heard Bob before. The doctors don’t want him in the ring until the Great American Bash because of an injury… an injury that your Army caused I might add. Ron Wright: Come on Ross. You should be thanking me and my Army. One less Armstrong is a step in the right direction but if he wants a match with the Stud, we will see him in the ring tonight against Killer Khan. Jim Ross: Oh come on Wright. Killer Khan. He could end the Bullet’s career with the state that Bob’s ribs are in. Ron Wright: Exactly! MATCH Big Bubba Ottman with Ron Wright destroys Brian Landing with the Giant Splash Match: Kendall Windham Defeats The Assassin with a Running Bulldog At the interview desk, Windham vows revenge on HTM for breaking a guitar over his head last week. COMMERCIAL Match “Bullet" Bob Armstrong vs Killer Khan with Ron Wright Somehow we see Bob Armstrong withstand a tremendous beating as Khan kicked and chopped away at the rips. Somehow, a battered Bullet was able to surprise Khan with the Georgia Jawbreaker for the three count. Jim Ross: Oh Bawh Gawd. I don’t believe my eyes. Bullet Bob Armstrong, busted ribs and all has just beat Killer Khan. It looks like Bob will be getting a shot at the Tennessee Stud at the Great American Bash in the Louisiana Super dome is a little over two weeks! Sorry folks, but we are out of time.

Great show with so much happening. I enjoyed the Superstar "handshake." I wonder what Tommy Rich thinks of the way his cousin, Johnny, has been acting of late? I think Hacksaw needs some buddies. Dibiase is difficult enough but throw in Fernandez and Rude and that is almost unbeatable.

Done

6/15/1986 HUNTSVILLE, AL VON BRAUN CIVIC CENTER (HOUR #1) The show starts with a video montage of some of the big matches from this past week’s event at the Tennessee State Grounds in Nashville. Baby Doll wins by DQ against Missy Hyatt as Eddie Gilbert was hiding under the ring and as soon as the bell sounded he rushed out and come up from behind Baby Doll and connect with Hotshot. To add insult to injury, Hyatt than covered Baby Doll and Gilbert acting as the fake ref made the three-count. As Luger rushed down, Hyatt and Gilbert hightailed it out of the ring. Terry Taylor and the Rock n Roll Express beat Dick Slater and the Midnight Express with Cornette suspended above the ring in a steel cage as Cornette tried to drop the tennis racket down to Slater but Taylor caught it a clobbered Slater and then Taylor and the RnR Express connected with a triple dropkick for the win which guarantees Taylor a UWF Continental Title Match at the Great American Bash while it knocks the Midnight Express out of contention for the NWA National Tag Team Title Match at the same event. Hello everybody. Welcome to UWF Wrestling. We are coming to you from the Von Braun Civic Center in beautiful Huntsville, Alabama. I am Jim Ross and my partner today is Cowboy Bill Watts. Let’s get right to the ring for our first match. Match Eddie Gilbert with Missy Hyatt beats Mike Graham when Missy rakes Graham’s eyes and Eddie follows it up with the Hotshot Missy Hyatt: I told all of you last week that I had no problem getting into the ring but someone should have told me it was an intergender match! Cowboy Bill Watts: What are you talking about Missy Hyatt? It was your man Eddie Gilbert, who in one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen, intervened in your match with Baby Doll and hit her with a Hotshot! Missy Hyatt: Are you kidding me? You mean that thing in the ring against me was a WOMAN? I was sure you had tricked me and put me in a match against a man. Jim Ross: Come on Missy! That will be enough of that! You know you wouldn’t be saying that if Baby Doll and Lex Luger were here right now. Eddie Gilbert: You are right Ross. I wouldn’t be talking if Lex Luger was here right now because I would be busy whopping his behind all over this building. The crowd explodes as both Baby Doll and the UWF Southern Champion, Lex Luger dash out but Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt are one step ahead of them as the hightail it to the locker room. When Baby Doll and Lex come back to the podium they are fuming. Lex Luger: Put the camera where it belongs. Get a close up of my face. I hope where ever you ran to Eddie Gilbert that there is a TV nearby. Look into my eyes because I have had it up to here with you and Missy Hyatt. You come out here week after week and say this and that about me and Baby Doll but then all you do is run and hide. Missy Hyatt talked about how she could beat Baby Doll and then we see Eddie Gilbert hide under that mat for hours to make sure Baby Doll doesn’t beat Missy Hyatt to with in an inch of her life. Eddie Gilbert, a real man… suplexes a woman! Well you have crossed the line and a demand a chance to get my hands on you. How bout it Cowboy Bill Watts. Cowboy Bill Watts: Well I just want everyone to know that I was raised with morals and values and watching Eddie Gilbert put his hands on a woman last week made me sick so you are right Lex. You deserve a chance to get even. One more thing… so does Baby Doll. Well this week, the UWF is returning to St. Louis and the Checkerdome this tomorrow night and it will be Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt vs Lex Luger and Baby Doll in an Intergender Tag Match where the men will wrestle the men and the women will wrestle the women. As we go to break we see a big smile come across the faces of Luger and Baby Doll. COMMERCIAL Match: Honky Tonk Man beats DJ Peterson with the Shake Rattle & Roll At the interview desk, we are shown a video of last week’s attack by Honky Tonk Man on Kendall Windham where he broke a guitar over his head and Jim Ross wants to know what that was all about. Honky Tonk Man: Nothing personal against Windham but I do have something else that is very personal to me. In the last two weeks, I have wrestled in two big shows in Tennessee. One in Memphis and one in Nashville. That’s right, its been a sort of homecoming for me. First to my home city, Memphis, and then to Music City, Nashville. Do you know how many people in Nashville asked me to play the guitar for them but each time I declined as I was focused on the task at hand. That task being to get ready to take out someone else who calls Tennessee his home. In fact, he calls himself the King of Memphis. Well I have never seen a King so afraid to show up in his own Kingdom but that is exactly what happened again to the so-called King. He knew the Honky Tonk Man was going to be in Nashville so he stayed all the way down there in Texas! Well this week, I am going to take my show on the road up to St. Louis and I will leave two tickets at the box office. One for my idol, the real King of Memphis, Elvis Presley and the other for what I have now renamed the Coward of Memphis, Jerry Lawler and since Lawler knows I am going to be there the odds are that Elvis is more likely to show up than Lawler! Well some day soon Lawler, I am going to stop inviting you to come and see me and I am just going to come and find you. Match: Black Bart beats Dixie Dynamite with the Texas Trash Compactor (Diving Leg Drop) While the grizzled Bart celebrates his singles victory in the ring, a wild scene unfolds as Exotic Adrian Street, Adorable Adrian Adonis and Miss Linda hit the ring. Adonis secures Bart’s arms while Street grabs his legs. He tries his best to wiggle free but to no avail as Miss. Linda puts makeup all over his face. The tough cowboy is engaged but can’t do anything about it. When she is all done, Bart is looking as oh so purty as Jim Ross wonders where Ron Bass was. As we had to break, Exotic Adrian and Adorable Adrian plant big kisses on the side of Black Bart’s checks. COMMERCIAL Before our next match, Black Bart and Ron Bass, who we find out was also attacked in the back by the Adrian Steer and Adonis and was also given a make-over, are at the interview desk and they are fuming. They demand and are granted a match for this week in the Checkerdome in St. Louis where if they lose the must where a dress. MATCH Superstar Graham beats Killer Tim Brooks with the Bearhug The tie-die Superstar may be old but his charisma shines through as he high fives all the kids on his way back to the locker room. The Rock n Roll Express are at the podium where they are hyping up their recent 6 Man Tag with Terry Taylor against Cornett’s Midnight Express and Dick Slater when all of a sudden ,they are interrupted by Luscious Johnny Valiant and the Hollywood Blondes…. Buddy Landell and John Tatum. Luscious Johnny: Well now let’s all bow down to the mighty Rock n Roll Express. Somehow you got Jim Cornette suspended in a cage and you were able to save yourself a beating from the Midnight Express. Well, don’t think just because you won’t be facing Beautiful Bobby and Loverboy Dennis at the Great American Bash that your NWA National Tag Titles are safe. The Nature Boy here hired me to get him some gold and we are coming after you two bandana- wearing, extra small tee shirt waving bozos from Trailer Park U.S.A. Watch this next match and learn! As the Hollywood Blondes head to the ring, Jim Ross asks the Rock n Roll Express what that was all about and they seemed to have no idea but they definitely were not overly concerned but did agree to stay at the podium for the next match MATCH The Hollywood Blondes with Luscious Johnny Valiant defeat the Memphis Vice as Landell uses the ropes for a little extra leverage with his Figure 4. It seemed like Landell was really amping up the pressure and refused to break the hold after the match while John Tatum tossed the other member of Vice to the floor and then preceded to strut around the ring and bring down some mega-heat on himself. All of a sudden Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson couldn’t take it anymore and hit the ring. The brawl was on and the Rock n Roll Express seemed to be in control until Luscious Johnny came into the ring with some sort of slapjack and clobbered Morton. Now it was 3-1 and Robert Gibson took a pretty good beating as we head to commercial break. COMMERCIAL Match Haku & Dr. Death Steve Williams with Skandar Akbar defeats Steve Gatorwolf and Mike George as Haku catches Gatorwolf in the Tongan Death Grip The interesting thing here is that Dr. Death was never tagged into the match. Not that Haku ever needed help but Dr. Death seemed a bit miffed. All Akbar could talk about at the podium was that it seemed like Devastation Inc. has chased the NWA Champions away as no one as seen hide nor hare of Paul Ellering, Hawk or Animal. Even though Jim Ross was doing his best to explain that being the NWA champs brings in a lot of travel obligations all through the world. Jim Ross seems to be getting no place with Akbar so he reminds him that another one of his men is up next. Match Ron Simmons beats The Warlord with Skandar Akbar with a Monster Powerslam! Akbar was once again frustrated and called on the Barbarian to rush the ring but before he could get there, Hacksaw Butch Reed hit the ring and no both members of Doom were in the ring awaiting an attack from the Barbarian. Seeing his disadvantage here with the Warlord still suffering from the powerslam, Akbar called on more men but all that came was Haku. Jim Ross wondered where Dr. Death was and if he was feeling a bit of disrespect from Akbar. This made it a great stare down as Simmons and Reed dared the Barbarian and Haku to come to the ring but Akbar decided to fight another day.

I am enjoying your idea of a National promotion going all the way to Vancouver but the Lutte wrestling base might not enjoy the travel. Not a negative at all but just interested in the history of a country that I should know more about .... would a Montreal based (French) promotion go over big in Vancouver? Your use of all of our rosters makes the all of the NWA so much more popular... Thanks again
