3/8/1986 KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE Hello again everybody. Welcome to Power Pro Wrestling, a UWF Production coming to you from the Civic Center in Kingsport, Tennessee. I am Jim Ross and my partner is Cowboy Bill Watts. Well folks, you saw some of the highlights from the Crockett Cup earlier on Crossfire. Well for those of you who were not in New Orleans and saw the highlights of Jerry Lawler losing the UWF title and the Midnight Express winning the NWA National Tag Titles and thought it could not get any worse. You were wrong. Take a look at this. A Video of the Every-Man For Himself Continental Title Match between Dick Slater, Hacksaw Duggan and Dr. Death Steve Williams. Before this one gets started, Jim Ross reminds us what is at stake. The winner gets the title, the loser must leave the UWF and the one not involved in the outcome cannot have any singles title matches in the UWF for the next 6 months! As you would expect, this is a wild brawl from the beginning to the end. With the actions of Dirty Dick Slater over the past few weeks, there are no alliances during this contest. It is truly every man for themselves. We go about 15 minutes of chaos before the ref gets wholloped by an arrant football tackle by Duggan going after Dr. Death. The ref goes all the way to the floor as Slater grabs an injured Dr. Death and tosses him to the floor on the other side. Jim Ross: Oh baw Gawd! What is he doing here. Terry Gordy rushes to the ring and scoops up Dr. Death and gives him a piledriver on the cement flood. He then enters the ring as Slater grabs Duggan. Bam Bam with a huge kick to the gut doubles over Duggan. An Irish whip followed by a big Terry Grody powerslam has Duggan in serious trouble. As the ref begins to stagger to his feet, Slater comes off the ropes for a taped fist drop to the skull of Duggan. Slater covers him just as the ref gets back in the ring, 1… 2… 3. Jim Ross is in shock as Slater is the new Continental Champion and Hacksaw Duggan must leave the UWF! Terry Gordy wastes no time and heads out of the ring and continues his attack on Dr. Akbar actually puts a stop to this as he whacks Gordy with a chair. In fact, this only changed who Gordy was after as he now chased Akbar all the way up the ramp to the locker room. When the video is over both Dick Slater and Terry Gordy come to the interview desk where Jim Ross wants to get to the bottom of all of this. Dick Slater: Well Jim, as I told all of you when I first got to the UWF, I was the #1 free agent in the game today and I was here to make money and win titles. Well, it’s obvious I am doing both. Jim Ross: That is not what I meant. What is the connection between you and Bam Bam Terry Gordy? Dick Slater: I did not even know I had a relationship with Bam Bam until he showed up in the locker room at the Crockett Cup. Last week, I told you that I had received a couple of envelops with cash in them. The first was from Skandar Akbar to help his man, Dr. Death, against Hacksaw. The second, which was labeled Mr. B, I thought was from Bill Watts to help Duggan defeat Dr. Death. As you can see, I don’t care who I help as long as I am paid for it. Jim Ross: I still don’t get it. Terry Gordy: Let me help out a bit here. As you remember, a while back, Dr. Death, Many Fernandez and myself were the UWF 6 Man Title holders until Steve Williams turned on Manny and myself. Well I have never forgiven him for that. A Freebird has a long memory and it doesn’t matter how long it takes for us to collect our debts, we always get what we want. The money given to Slater from Mr. B was me. Mr. Bam Bam Terry Gordy! And since Dick Slater here did such a good job of helping my get the belt out of William’s hands, I thought I would help him win the title at the Crockett Cup. Dr. Death rushes out and is fuming mad and wants a piece of Terry Gordy but officials and wrestlers rush out to try and keep the peace but as we have seen a million times before, no amount of man power could keep these two separate and the brawl took us to commercial break. One interesting thing was that Slater simply walked back and took no interest in the matter. COMMERCIAL When we come out of break, Jim Ross lets know that due to all of the confusion in the first segment, he did not get to tell us about tonight’s two great Main Events. First, it will be Wahoo McDaniel vs Buddy Landell and the winner will get to face Dirty Dick Slater in his first title defense this week in the Omni and second The Long Riders will face The Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) to become the #1 contender to the Road Warriors UWF Tag Titles. MATCH SCOTT HALL DEFEATS HOMER DELL WITH A BACKBREAKER RACK MATCH DICK MURDOCH & JYD DEFEAT THE MEMPHIS BRUISE BROTHERS WHEN JYD HIT A BIG THUMP ON PORKCHOP CASH. JYD and Murdoch share time on the mic about their match this week against Tony Atlas and Shaska Whatley. They both express how they are really angered about the message that the Nation of Domination is trying to spread and that while they respect Atlas and Whatley as wrestlers, it is time to shut them up once and for all. COMMERCIAL MATCH THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR WITH PAUL ELLERING DEFEATS COWBOY DON BASS WITH THE WARRIOR SMASH Maybe because of his energy or maybe because of his good relationship with the Road Warriors, the fans are starting to get behind the Warrior. He is very accepting of their praise and was high fiving all the fans on the way to the locker room. COMMERCIAL MATCH #1 CONTENDEERD MATCH WAHOO McDANIEL VS BUDDY LANDELL A nice match here with a couple of momentum changes. The end came when Landell tried to mix it up with Wahoo who then went on the War Dance and Tomahawk Chopped Landell into a pin. Just as we find out that Wahoo is the #1 contender for Dick Slater’s Continental Title, Hustler Rip Roger and Crippler Rip Oliver hit the ring and really rough up Wahoo. After a good couple of minutes of the attack, Landell, Oliver and Rogers head to the interview desk where they announce that together, they are going to soon control the UWF! They also announce that they are so good looking, they should be in Hollywood hence their new nickname of the Hollywood Blondes. COMMERCIAL Before our last match, we find out that Dr. Death Steve Williams and Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy will meet in a Lights Out Street Fight” this week in the Omni. The reason for the lights out portion was because the UWF refused to sanction this match as they truly fear for the safety of both men and they do not want to be held responsible for what happens. MATCH #1 CONTENDERS MATCH THE LONG RIDERS VS THE TEXAS TORNADOS (Sam Houston & Kendell Windham) While the Tornados are in the ring awaiting the Long Riders, everyone is a bit shocked that when the Long Riders are announced, Ron Bass and Black Bart come out. They attack before the bell and really give it to the Tornados. As the Tornados begin to mount a comeback, both Bass and Bart roll out of the ring and grab their bullwhips and attack Houston and Windham. Even though the ref called for the bell, the fans were in shock at how violent Bass and Bart where. As the show begins to close, Ross is still in shock that it was Bass and Bart who came out as the Long Riders. I guess we will just have to wait till next week to find out what is going on. Jim Ross: So long from Kingsport.

The Tully-Rougeau angle was really well done as was the Adonis segment. Lutte is doing a great job of getting the Canadian fans through winter!

Now that was a great and expensive card!

Great job progressing all of your major angles. Sullivan and the Larry Z/Bockwinkle have really captured my attention

3/8/1986 KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE Hello everybody. Welcome to Crossfire a UWF Wrestling production. We are coming to you from the Civic Center in Kingsport, Tennessee. I am Lance Russell and my partner today is Jeff Jarrett. What a show we got for you today but before we get to it, we have so much to review for you from the Jim Crockett Sr. Cup last week in New Orleans. Jeff Jarrett: That’s right Lance and none of it good if you ask me. Let’s get to the awful video tape. UWF TITLE MATCH JERRY “THE KING” LAWLER VS “THE RUSSIAN NIGHTMARE” NIKITA KOLOFF Jerry “the King” Lawler does everything he could here to handle Nikita but it was a difficult task. Nikita, with his power, takes an early advantage and it looks like we may have a new champ. Then we get the comeback as Lawler begins to no sell each and every move Nikita does. Finally, we see the strap pulled down on Lawler’s singlet and the King goes to work. After he throws a dozen or so right hands, he scoops up Nikita and slams him to the ground. He quickly goes to the middle rope and hits the middle rope fist drop. The King now has Nikita up for the piledriver… Wham… Nikita reverses it with the back body drop. The King staggers to his feet and Nikita hits the ropes Wham… Russian Sickle and the ground instantly goes silent. 1… 2… 3.! Lance Russell: Well Jeff, I guess we all hoped this day would never come but Nikita Koloff is the new UWF Champion. Ivan and Nikita come out and Uncle Ivan takes over the interview. Ivan Koloff: We warned all of you stupid Americans that once Nikita gets Jerry Lawler in the ring, he will crush him and take his title. We have been telling you this for almost 2 months after the King of the Mountain Battle Royal and now all of you stupid Americans will have to watch week in and week out as Nikita cripples one weak American after the other. Jeff Jarrett: No hold on just a minute Ivan Koloff. While Nikita did win last week, “the King” will get his rematch this week and I know he is going to win back that title in Nashville. Ivan Koloff: Hahahahaha. Do you stupid Americans ever learn? Lawler will be beaten once and for all! The UWF Title now belongs to mother Russia. COMMERCIAL Lance informs us that the UWF was really well represented at the Crockett Cup as two of our very own teams, the Road Warriors and the Midnight Express met in the finals. Before we even see the video tape, we hear Jim Cornette’s voice on another mic. Jim Cornette: Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the greatest tag team in wrestling today, the National Tag Team Champions, Beautiful Bobby and Loverboy Denis….. the Midnight Express! Lance Russell: Oh brother! Let’s take it easy with that greatest talk. I mean why don’t you tell the fans how you won and not just that you won. Jim Cornette: How we won was fair and square. A clean 1,2, 3 in the middle of the ring. Lance Russell: We will let the fans decide just how clean it was. Let’s get to the video tape. JIM CROCKETTT SR. MEMORIAL TAG TEAM CUP FINALS THE ROAD WARRIORS with PAUL ELLERING VS THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS WITH JIM CORNETTE The Midnight Express are huddled in the corner looking very nervous as the Road Warriors head to the ring. Jim Ross: Watch Out! Ole and Arn Anderson come up from behind the Road Warriors and take their knees out with some sort of clubs. From there, the Wrecking Crew just goes wild on the Road Warriors. The Midnight Express just watch on in shock as they see their chances of winning the money and the belt skyrocket! Eventually, refs and officials rush out and get the Anderson’s away but the damage may already be done. In fact it was, the Road Warriors gave a valiant effort but with injuries to their knees, they almost all of their power moves. Eventually the Midnight Express wore down Animal and Hawk and the end saw the Midnight Express get the win as Condrey covered Animal after he connected with some sort of full nelson face slam! Cornette could not believe it as he celebrated like he just beat the Road Warriors. The crowd left in shock as they saw Slater, Nikita and the Midnight Express win all the big matches tonight. Lance Russell: Well you all saw it. You beat the Road Warriors after a disgusting pre-match attack by the NWA World Champions, Ole and Arn Anderson. Also, just to let you know, the NWA has looked into the match and declared that the Road Warriors are the #1 contender’s to your belts. Jim Cornette: First of all, the Anderson’s better watch out for us as we are coming after their belts next and as for the Road Warriors, we squashed them like little bugs last week and we will do the same the next time. All of a sudden, the Road Warriors come out and Cornette and the Midnight Express change their tune and look like they just saw a ghost. Animal: Well Cornette, lucky for you we aint playing around with some little NWA National Tag Team titles. Hawk and I have built our reputations on being the best and we aint going waist our time on you two sissy boys! Tell um what we want Hawk! Hawk: Weeeellll, we want one thing and one thing only. We want to hurt the Andersons. That’s right Ole and Arn. We are going to do to you what we are about to do to these two losers in the ring. We are going to really hurt you. You cost us $1,000,000 and we are going to take it out of your hides. We are coming for you! As the Road Warriors head to the ring, Lance Russell asks Cornette if he is relieved the Road Warriors are not coming after their belts and Cornette acting all tough again reminds everyone that the Midnight Express just beat the Road Warriors. MATCH THE ROAD WARRIORS NEARLY KILL MIKE GEORGE & DON BASS AS BOTH ARE HIT WITH THE DOOMSDAY DEVICE. THE MATCH TOOK LESS THAN 1 MINUTE. COMMERCIAL MATCH: HACKSAW BUTCH REED WITH ERNIE LADD DEFEATS KEN RAPER WITH A MILITARY PRESS SLAM At the interview desk, Reed is fuming about losing his Southern States titles last week in the Superdome and he is demanding a rematch against Lex Luger this week in the Omni. After hearing him ranting for a minute or two, Jerry Jarrett comes out and tells the Nation of Domination that they will have another shot at the Southern title this week in Nashville. Ernie Ladd: Well it is about time that the UWF did something right and this match better not be in any cage. Hacksaw Reed is the Man around here and is not some kind of wild animal who should be inside of 4 walls of steel! Jerry Jarrett: Mr. Ladd, as much as you think that the Nation of Domination run things around here, it is not true. Cowboy Bill Watts and myself set the matches and we both agree that Lex Luger and Hacksaw Butch Reed will decide the Southern States Champion in a regular, old fashion Wrestling Match this week at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville! Ernie Ladd has the biggest smile and you can already see that he is thinking this will give him and the rest of the Nation a chance to get involved and help his man. Jerry Jarrett: But to make sure this is a fair, 1-1 match, the other members of your gang, Tony Atlas and Shaska Whatley will be wrestling 300 miles away against JYD and Dick Murdoch in the Omni in Atlanta, Georgia! If they don’t show, they will be suspended from the UWF! And to make sure you behave Ernie Ladd, you will be the one placed inside a steel cage, suspended 30 feet above the ring! Ladd is beside himself but Jarrett simply walks away as they continue to pout. MATCH TOMMY RICH DEFEATS IRON MIKE SHARPE WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS MATCH EXOTIC ADRIAN STREET WITH MISS. LINDA DEFEATS VERLON BIGGS WITH A SLEEPER Lance Russell, Jeff Jarrett and even the fans did not know what to make of Adrian in his UWF debut. From his makeup, dancing entrance, being sprayed with perfume by Linda and actually kissing Biggs, he had everyone a little uneasy but he seemed pretty harmless. A couple of thigs were clear, he can really wrestle and if you want to mix up, he is just fine with this. COMMERCIAL MATCH BARON VON RASCHKE WITH RON WRIGHT DEFEATS DIXIE DYNAMITE #1 WITH THE IRON CLAW Tonight’s show ends with Wright’s Volunteer Army hijacking the interview area and welcoming Baron to their group with some disgusting actions including draping the Nazi flag over the interview desk as they salute Baron. Ron Wright is so excited to welcome another true “Christian” wrestler to his group!

Great set up for next week! That will keep selling the tickets.

UWF adds Nikita Koloff, Lex Luger, Hacksaw Reed and 1 mystery guest to be announced soon.

While each of us have a different style of writing, your storytelling is so easy to follow that it is a pleasure to read. You make each of your matches seem like the most important thing in the entire industry. From Larry Z and Bock to Black Irish to the Snake, the AWA is on fire.

What an up and down night for the fans! Rocky Johnson with the win.... American made falls to the Communist..... Tully Blanchard.... Jimmy Snuka.... Ric Flair! What a great great ROLL A COASTER!
