NWA Great American Bash '85 Events
Very fun card. Any of those matches would have been great to see. I think the Abdullah-Lawler No DQ match needs a little more TV time to hype as I see a NO DQ stipulation as part of a feud or someone coming to be the savior. Can't wait for Flair-Martel! Piper took this card from good to great all by himself. He was so big in the Mid-Atlantic and his return would be epic. JJ Dillion was causing havoc at the Bash. Wonder if it will continue or if someone will put him in his place.

WWC - Puerto Rico - July
I really enjoyed this show. For the better part of this game, writers have put Carlos Colon on their roster and they knew he was a top star but had no idea of what to do with him. I used him for a few run-ins and big matches but never really gave him a shot. He is now in the perfect place. Ayala-Jovica is a a great angle. We still have no idea of who the heel will be and this will become one of the biggest angles you have. Chicky Starr-Omar Atlas segment was classic. The Hogan reference was hilarious but I could see someone doing that. Tamba is also in a prefect situation. By his look and resemblance to the Butcher he could be a huge star. Keep up the good work!

Radically Righteous Wrestling - Season One
Very creative to say the least. This will take some getting used to in terms of the roster and name changes. GENOAN NECKTIE is a cool name for a finisher.

Continental Championship Wrestling July 1985
The Stud Stable War is great. Honky Tonk fits fine as he along with Rich and GIlbert are the UWF 6 Man Champs so he has always been a part of this stable. The Golden Spike on a Pole Match was classic Southern style wrestling and would have been nerve rattling to watch. Good vs Evil with a "demonic" twist. Monday Nights at the Boutwell might just be the most consistent show in the country right now!

WWF On Tour June 1985
I must say that there are so many feuds going on here that there is something for everyone. The names are Hall of Fame worthy all throughout the roster and I enjoy that you have some master plan as to when each gets a major push. This roster and organization allows your format to work everywhere in the country and really worldwide. I am also rooting for that complete heel turn by Savage as it just feels right. This would lead nicely to Hogan-Savage down the road....maybe even Wrestlemania II I am unsure of how many hair matches there were in the WWF but I hope this one ends with NOBODY getting their hair cut. The Machine angle is not my favorite and would love to see the masks come off.

Continental Championship Wrestling June 1985
Great card for the Tampa fans. I enjoy how well each card has these minor one or two week angels mixed in with your longer feuds. I wonder if we are seeing a set up of Mr. Wrestling II's last big dance. The Stud Stable feud is building up nicely and can't wait to see the winner. Rich and Hot Stuff might be my favorite team of all time as they were so good at both heel and babyface and both excelled on the mic.

1983 Project General Chatter Thread
It seems that we have left Dean Malenko off of our list. Wrestlingdata.com says he debut in 1979 but lists his first matches as 1985. It only lists 7 or 8 matches and he only won one so he is a true work in progress. Should I add him to free agency?

UWF NEWS The only thing we know for certain right now is that Fritz VonErich will not be running USWA Wrestling with Jerry Jarrett any longer. Jarrett made sure to burn all of those bridges immediately following Battleground as he traded the VonErich brothers away. You will have to wait until the end of the week to see where they will be headed. That does not mean that Fritz is completely out of the UWF. Jerry Jarrett has decided to focus his programming to a location he knows better then Texas as he will be returning to his old stomping ground and running his old loop with a few key additions. Monday: Louisville KY or Cincinnati, OH Tuesday: Evansville, IN or Lexington, KY Wednesday: Chattanooga or Jackson, TN Thursday: Memphis or Nashville for the Big Weekly show Friday: St. Louis, MO or Jonesboro, Ar, Saturday: Memphis TV in the morning & Memphis or Nashville at night (alternating weeks) Every city will run once every two weeks except for the two largest, Memphis and Nashville which will run weekly shows. The major change here was that the Mid-South Coliseum show is being moved to either Saturday or Monday. This will allow the UWF champs to continue to visit the major CCW events each and every week. Jarrett also was able to secure venues in both Cincinnati and St. Louis in an attempt to grow the fan base. It is unsure as of this time is Jarrett is going to keep the name of the show USWA Wrestling. He has already changed the name of the USWA Champion to the UWF United States Champion. Jarrett has also received the okay from Cowboy Bill Watts to resurrect the UWF United States Tag Team Championship and a tournament to crown that champion is going on as we speak. Cowboy Bill Watts has agreed to "simplify" his loop also to try and keep the wrestlers happy. He is going to return to is old familiar Mid-South loop. SATURDAY: Morning TV in Shreveport, Night: Houston or New Orleans (alternating weeks) MONDAY: Tulsa or OKC TUESDAY: Baton Rouge or Lafayette WEDNESDAY: Alexandria or Lake Charles THURSDAY: Houston or New Orleans for the Weekly Big Show (opposite the Saturday schedule) FRIDAY: Little Rock or Alexandria, LA Cowboy Bill Watts still has hope of making the UWF a truly national wrestling promotion but he is going to try to do this by television. Right now, WTVT, is giving him as much programming time as he can handle. The station is designating Tuesdays as "Tuesday Night Titans" and is giving Watts 3 hours of time to fill. Watts is hoping to divide that among the 3 UWF "territories" but that is still to be determined. Watts is in search of catchy names for his shows and it is rumored that one will be Power Pro Wrestling. Jarrett is toying with bringing back TNT DYNAMITE which will stand for Titans N Tennessee but we will have to wait and see. Watts liked the idea of what Jarrett did by putting his young son on the broadcast team and is thinking of doing the same with his son, Eric, who is said to be a whiz with making wrestling videos set to music. The schedule will also allow for the sharing of talent between the 3 UWF promotions. Watts says you should never be surprised at who shows up and he can't wait to unveil the 3 people coming in now that the VonErichs left. It is also rumored that Jimmy Snuka has asked out of his contract. He is unhappy with his booking as he believes that he is much higher on the food chain then just helping raise the status of the young Dingo Warrior. Watts says he is listening to all offers but as of now Snuka is still the property of the UWF.

JWA July 1985 - JWA Japanese Championship Tournament
A nice card as the fans got exactly what they want in the beginning and the end. An American goes done in Phil Hickerson and a great last match. Not to say that the mid card was not great but I always think you have to get the fans attention right off the bat and finish well. You did that here. I just wish I was more familiar with the names in your promotion. I have some homework to do.

NWA Lutte Internationale June 1985
That was a fun card in Osawatomie but I am not sure if a high school gym could draw enough people to cover the expenses of all those stars. I beat that card could have sold out in Topeka or Lawrence which have bigger arenas. That is how good that show was. At first I thought the cage match needed some more build up as it is usually the end of a feud and this crowd is not that familiar with Lutte but a Russian against Crusher, who they are familiar with, would sell all by itself. Lutte is hitting the central region of the US hard and are one tv show against taking some of UWF's fans. Great job.

WWF On Tour June 1985
Good show from top to bottom here. Star filled throughout with some big feuds coming to an end, some continuing and some beginning. I must say that I always root against Hogan in real life as I do here while reading the WWF and then I see the body slam followed by the leg drop and hope that somehow there will be a kick out. Maybe Nikita will be the first!i For me, the Reverse Royal was the highlight of the show. It might just be something the UWF "borrows" from Vince. It gives so many opportunities. You could hype up a new star, continue a feud or even determine the #1 contender. GREAT JOB HERE! I would have also loved to see Gino and Windham. These two are two of the best in the business and deserve more credit. It is a strange world and I often wonder why some people like Hogan and Bockwinkle stay on top while Windham and Hansen never got that HUGE TITLE SHOT.

NWA Lutte Internationale June 1985
Sorry, didn't mean to make my comment sound negative. Just trying to enhance this WWF-LUTTE WAR as it is one of the best angels in the game.
