Moretti and Richter continue their title reigns. One with power... one with some questionable tactics. Great heel/babyface match writing. I wonder who would prevail if they met in the ring.

The AWA just keeps rolling. We seem to always go flawlessly from one big show and the end of some great angles to the next few TV shows and brand new feuds are in full effect. Tommy Rich vs Lawler is perfect Memphis'/AWA wrestling.... Slater almost had the title... Lawler is bigger then Slater.... I predict..... CHAOS! Larry Z vs Steamboat... this one is huge for the future of the AWA... This could go in any direction! Can't wait. I think Morgan is just feed up with Outback Jack losing! I wonder where the fans will stand on this one. Watching Bob Armstrong go from feud to feud is fun. Wonder who will come out on top here with Dream. To me, Armstrong seems to fit perfectly in that Memphis mold. I wonder why he never spent much time there. It was pretty close to his normal territories.

Awesome interview with Flair and JJ. You amaze me with some of the things you recall about this game. I barely remember who was on my roster.

Very interesting!

All will be added to the free agency list this week. If you guys want them, they are yours as you found them. Claim them before they go on free agent list. Surgery tomorrow on shoulder so might be off line for a few days.

Really fun read! I enjoy your interviews and think you did an awesome job with both the The Army and Bock/Backlund. Interesting to see how Eddie G. deals with the down time here. Still wonder if we will here from The Anvil about his quick tap!

UWF adds Eric Embry, Mongolian Stomper, and Rip Rogers

Fun show. I like the season matches idea. It makes each match have more importance!!

Great follow up show to WrestleRock! Wow... I was wondering what happened as I read Windy City Wrestling first and saw Slater. I was wondering if Windy City joining the AWA and then I read your show.... WOW Slater has the title taken away and levels JJ... AWESOME CREATIVITY! Lawler vs Rich!!!! YES!!! UH OH... Brenda is upset!!! This show be fun. Nice job getting the angles going as we head to the next big show!!!

Bad Moon Rising was really entertaining. I think OMG was a great choice as the Street Fight Champion. Bam Bam vs OMG would be fun down the road. Slater and Orton might be the team to beat in Windy City Wrestling.

The Turn Towards Mississippi Mayhem TV SHOWS: UWF WRESTLING: THE COLIESEUM: JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI & POWER PRO WRESTLING: COWTOWN COLISEUM: FT. WORTH STOCKYARD HOUSE SHOWS LOOP: SAN ANTONIO, SHREVEPORT, TUPELO, BIRMINGHAM, ST. PETERSBURG. Angle #1: RISING SUN (Tojo Yamamota, Kendo Nagasaki & Muta) After a brief hiccup at WrestleWar, Rising Sun seems to have righted the ship… in a rather violent way. For the second straight week, Tojo and his team annihilated their opponents. This time it was Randy and Bill Mulkey getting beat from pillar to post with some nasty martial arts moves from Kendo Nagasaki and some high-flying aerial moves from Muta. After Tojo mercifully told Muta to cover Bill after another Moonsault, Kendo went on the attack. For the second straight week, Nagasaki beat his defeated opponents with the Kendo Stick. This week was so bad that the ref actually did reverse the decision. Problem was that this only seemed to upset Nagasaki who went into his human spin in the center of the ring…. POOF… Nagasaki just sprayed the Green Mist into the eyes of the referee…. Wrestlers and referees rush to the ring to help the downed official….. Jim Ross rushed the audience into a commercial break as the camera shows the ref writhing in pain… When we came back from break, we see a fired up UWF President, Bill Watts, at the podium. Bill Watts: Enough is enough around here! Wrestlers going after wrestlers is one thing but attacking a referee is another and I won’t stand for it! Tojo Yamamota and Kendo Nagasaki… your actions disgust me. Tojo you seem to do a lot of complaining about America but you got no problem making our money. Well, that is going to stop for a week. You and Nagasaki are suspended from all UWF events for 1 week. No shows on the road… No time on TV…. And most importantly…. NO MONEY! Jim Ross: And what about Muta… Bill Watts: Muta… I will go back and watch the video tape, but I believe that he did nothing at all during that last segment. He is free to wrestle this week. An angry Watts storms off! Angle #2 Hyatt International & Hot Stuff Inc. This week on Power Pro Wrestling, we saw Chris Benoit and Rick Steiner crush Tom Birch and Caleb Pine with the end coming with a diving headbutt off the top rope by Benoit. Doug Gilbert jumped around after the match like his stablemates just won the World Title! Missy Hyatt, looking good as always, complimented Doug on his interest and youthful exuberance. Later in the show, Eddie Gilbert “successfully” defended his TV title against “Freight Train” Rufus Jones when Doug Gilbert ran into the center of the ring and hit Rufus from behind. This caused the immediate DQ which infuriated Rufus. He grabbed Doug by the throat and was about to clobber him when Eddie attacked from behind. This led to a 4-1 assault as Benoit and Steiner hit the ring. Soon, Ricky Morton, Steve Cox and Scott Rex hit the ring to make the save. Morton and the rest of the babyfaces helped Rufus over to the podium where Morton took the lead. Ricky Morton: I don’t know what is going on around here lately. Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt prance around here talking about how they are helping the future of wrestling by training these young kids. All they are doing is training them to cheat. They’re using them for the benefit of Hyatt International. Jim Ross poured some gas on the fire as he asked Ricky about Robert Gibson who had his leg injured last week by Woman’s crew of Vader and the Barbarian. Out of character for Morton, he kind of yelled back, “He’s not here, is he? That should tell you how he is doing.” Later in the show Eddie Gilbert and Missy Hyatt strut back out to the interview desk where Hyatt International took about what Morton had to say. Eddie Gilbert: Ricky Morton… I heard you out here before saying something’s got to be done about Missy Hyatt and myself. You said we are just using Rick Steiner and Chris Benoit. Let me tell you something… Hot Stuff Inc is a family! Rufus Jones you attacked my brother, Doug, in the center of that ring before and we showed you just how family protects each other. Morton… you talked about your partner Robert Gibson being hurt again….. That’s right, AGAIN. Well, it’s all your fault. If he was family like you say, you wouldn’t have let that happen to him. Missy Hyatt: Morton, if you try anything like attacking a member of Hyatt International, you will be right there next to Robert Gibson. Angle #3: Magnum T.A. Magnum T.A. is welcomed back to UWF Wrestling by Jim Ross and UWF President Bill Watts for the first time since WrestleWar. Magnum, who is still walking with the aid of a cane and has his arm in a sling, explains that all of the cards and well wishes from the fans have helped him tremendously in the biggest fight of his life. A smiling Lex Luger comes out to the podium… Lex Luger: Hey champ! I know we never had the chance to wrestle but I just want you to know how much I look I up to you and how much I am hoping for your recovery. You truly are an inspiration to all of us back there in the locker room. Magnum T.A. extends his hand to Lex and the two have a warm handshake and embrace. Magnum thanks Lex for the kind words…. As the handshake is about to end Lex adds, “but you know if we ever did meet in the ring, who would have won. T.A. unsure what Lex is getting at says the matches would have been great with two great competitors. Lex Luger: One great competitor in you and one perfect competitor in me.… That’s right Magnum… I’m letting you know that your accident came just in time to save you the embarrassment of getting in the ring with me. Look at me and look at you… If we met in the ring, you might have been left worse off than you are now…. A complete cripple. Jim Ross: Come on Lex. Show some class. With all that Magnum has been through and with all that he has done in this sport. Lex Luger: All that he has done? All that he has done is fail! From out of nowhere… Hacksaw Butch Reed comes out and is right in the face of Luger telling him to back off. Luger shoves Reed out of the way and gets right in T.A.’s face Lex Luger: Just like old times Magnum. Someone else saving your hid. I think I saw a video of you brining your mother to a contract signing against Nikita Koloff to make sure Nikita didn’t slap the stink right off of you on national TV. SMACK!! Reed is all over Lex Luger. Unfortunately, the champ’s advantage did not last long as Vader and Barbarian join in the attack… Jim Ross: Oh my, I guess we know what Lex Luger’s answer to joining Woman’s stable is. She is out here and leading her men on an attack of Hacksaw Butch Reed. We’ve got to get some help out here! The crowd explodes as the help comes in the form of Dr. Death and Terry Gordy. Steve Williams, Terry Gordy, Hacksaw Reed vs Lex Luger, Vader and Barbarian… a Donnybrook to Remember! The only way to break up these 6 is a commercial break! Angle #4: Dick Murdoch As this segment started, we get a video review from last week where Sheik Adnan Al Kassie attacked Murdoch while Dibiase said he was hiding behind his tuxedo and said that since he was trying to bring some class to the show, he was not prepared to wrestle Dick Murdoch. This week, we see Dick Murdoch come out in a Tuxedo and beat the snot out of the Red Shawdow in a complete jobber match. At the interview desk: Dick Murdoch: Ted Dibiase… you ain’t nothing but a low-down snake in the grass…. A yellow bellied coward! You claim you can’t wrestle in certain cloths…you claim you bring some class to the show. I think we all now what you really are… A person who sold out to the great U.S.A and took that SOB Sheik’s money! Murdoch, while screaming and slobbering about how the cloths don’t make the man starts to tear the tuxedo off himself. Jim Ross tries to remind Murdoch that this is a family show, but it doesn’t matter. Murdoch keeps ripping the cloths off… Lucky for everyone, Murdoch has a white tee shirt and a pair of overalls underneath… Murdoch: Cloths don’t make the man Dibiase. I will beat you in a tuxedo. I will beat you in street cloths. I will beat you in my skivvies for all I care. All know is that I will beat you in any arena you dare to show up in! Where you at Dibiase… Where you at! Jim Ross: I’m sorry Dick… Dibiase and the Sheik are not in the building today. Angle #6: Freebirds Cocoa Samoa won his second straight match this week as he connected with a savat kick to the head of Jamed Urdune. Things got interesting at the podium when Michael Hayes and the rest of the Freebirds (Buddy Roberts and Tom Prichard) interrupted the interview by taking turns throwing coconuts at Cocoa. Cocoa Samoa did not back down and attacked all three Freebirds. WHAM… Michael Hayes cracks Samoa with a coconut and down goes a bloody Cocoa. Michael Hayes: Nothing starts a party like cracking a cocoa! Tom Prichard: Only problem is cleaning up after a party Buddy Roberts: Looks like we got an oil spill on aisle 9 Angle #7: UWF News - Other wrestlers who got wins on TV this week were Mr. Olympia, and “All-American” Steve Cox - Last week we were told that Brad Armstrong and Tony Atlas were unable to wrestle due to a car minor car accident but that they would return this week. This week, neither were on TV and Jim Ross did not mention their names. Angle #8: Next Big Card UWF President came out to hype up the Mississippi Mayhem on July 4th at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Last week, we were told that Dr. Death and Terry Gordy were going to defend the UWF Tag Titles against Van Vader and The Barbarian. This week, Bill Watts announced that Butch Reed would defend the UWF Title against Lex Luger! Angle #9: An Interesting Commercial Right after the segment where Watts hypes up Mississippi Mayhem, a commercial aired hyping the best wrestling promotion in the South, Mid-South Revolution. The commercial announced that at the July 4 Spectacular in Mobile, Alabama, would be a one-night tournament to crown the first Revolution Champion. Wrestlers include “The Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff, Wahoo McDaniel, Hercules Hernandez, Buzz Sawyer and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Wow… What a Night! Again, Jim Ross completely ignored the commercial when PowerPro Wrestling came back on the air!

Enjoyed the post Showdown events. Nice to see Neidhart ready to fight. Wondering if there will be anything else from that quick tap. It will be interesting to see why and by who Severn was attacked. Furnas and the Malenko brothers add some new interesting talent to PCW. WOW... a cage match on TV... awesome... but like the fans in the arena, I have no idea what really happened. That's what's great about wrestling and our game. You get hooked and teased so much you can't go away for l

I should realize by now to expect the unexpected in PCW! I loved the second night of Showdown! So many great matches and wild finishes! I also like how there is always a reason for a loss. This person was banged up or this person had a neck brace on. This makes it hard for to get a hold on who should win and makes every match so interesting. I admit, that I probably only protect about half of the matches right in PCW and that is just by luck. Thanks for always keeping this interesting. Nick Bock with the title... can't wait to see who is next Sid V. is unmasked and angry... going to be fun! What's up with Neidhart? Corny and the MNE without the title... What is next? So many great things to watch for!

WOW, WOW, WOW.... AWESOME SHOW! I think you nailed the outcomes on all the big matches. A double DQ is just what the Outlaws and The Road Warriors needed. I know Savage is awesome but Hansen is an All-Time great. I think we have all had Hansen but didn't know what to do with him long term. You nailed it here. Give him a belt and let him beat the crap out of people! Tully was a great champ but the title is back to where it needs to be. Can't see what is next between Flair and the Horsemen.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW: STORY LINES ARE BEGINNING FOR MISSISSIPPI MAYHEM TV SHOWS: UWF WRESTLING: THE COLIESEUM: JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI POWER PRO WRESTLING: COWTOWN COLISEUM: FT. WORTH STOCKYARD HOUSE SHOWS LOOP: OKC, DALLAS, BATON ROUGE, ST. LOUIS. Angle #1: RISING SUN (Tojo Yamamota, Kendo Nagasaki & Muta) Following last week’s interview where Tojo said his young star, Muta, needed to focus more, we see a Rising Sun team that is completely dominant. The TV win over Cougar Jay and Brandy Colbert was extremely dominant. Muta hit the Moonsault on Cougar to get the win. For no real reason other than he wanted do, Nagasaki clobbered the two jobbers with the kendo stick after the match was over. The ref threatened to reverse his decision, but it was only a threat. Tojo was brief in his post-match promo stating that this is what he expects of his team and that they will never lose again to weak Americans. Angle #2 Hyatt International & Hot Stuff Inc. This week saw the in-ring debut of Doug Gilbert who struggled in his match against Randy Mulkey. Missy Hyatt was forced to distract the ref which allowed Rick Steiner to get involved with a German Suplex. Steiner then helped Gilbert crawl over for the cover and the 3-count. Eddie joined Missy later at the interview desk where they both praised Doug on his first victory. When Jim Ross asked about the questionable tactics, both Missy and Eddie told him to watch what he says and accused him of just making up accusations because he is jealous of Hyatt International & Hot Stuff Inc. Later in the show, Eddie Gilbert successfully defended his TV title against Verlon Biggs as he connected with a Hot Shot. Another promo stating how “hot” this group was left Jim Ross shaking his head. Angle #3: Woman…. Last week, Woman explained why she was back in the UWF and said that she fully expected to lead the best stable in all of wrestling. Today was a busy day for Woman. First, Lex Luger was giving a promo after his impressive victory by submission with the backbreaker over The Red Shadow when Woman came out with Van Vader and The Barbarian. Jim Ross pleaded for cooler heads to prevail …. Woman: Don’t worry Jim. I mean Lex Luger no harm. In fact, I have come to praise Lex. Mr. Luger, I was very impressed with how easily you took care of Kevin Sullivan. I have seen him do some bad things to some bad people, but you never seemed to break. He tried attacking you in parking lots. He sent his army after you. He blasted you in the face with a fireball. Yet …. He is gone and you are standing here. Lex Luger: I would like to actually thank you for your help in getting rid of Kevin Sullivan. Woman: All I did was speed up the time frame. Now back to business. Last week I said I wanted to have the greatest stable in all of wrestling. I already have the greatest tag team in the UWF with Vader and Barbarian and they will prove it later in the show as they defeat the Rock n Roll Express. Now that I have the future tag team champs under my control, I am in search of the next World Champion to join my group. Jim Ross: Hacksaw Butch Reed is the current world champion! Woman: For now, Jim. For now. Lex, that is where you come in. With your skill and my tutelage, I can guarantee you will be the next UWF World Champion. Now Lex, I do not want you to answer right now. I want you to think about it for a week. Just remember what I have done for Vader and Barbarian and what I can do for you. Woman gives Lex a seductive grin and walks away. Jim Ross: Lex, that Woman is nothing but trouble. Lex Luger: Trouble hmmmm…. Later in the show, it was Vader and The Barbarian squaring off against the Rock n Roll Express. In this contrast of styles, we saw a bunch of momentum changes until the ref was “accidently” knocked down. Woman opened her purse and put on a pair of golden brass knuckles and nailed Ricky Morton in the groan. With Morton out of commission, we hear Woman scream at here team…. “Now just like during training!!! Vader grabs Gibson and drapes his leg over the bottom rope while the Barbarian climbs to the top with a chair! THUD…. A sickening sound fills the arena as Barbarian came off the top and nailed Gibson right in the shin bone with the chair! Fans said the hair on their arms stood up with the scream coming from Gibson. Dr. Death and Terry Gordy rush the ring and Woman has her group high tail it to the locker room. The champs rush to both Gibson and Morton who seem really hurt. As we go to break, you can see how fired up the tag team champs are. Angle #4: Dick Murdoch Last week, North American Champion, Ted Dibiase, was on TV making jokes about the people of Texas. This brought out Captain Redneck who was not having it and clocked Dibiase and then walked away. Dibiase got up screaming that nobody does that to the Million Dollar Man. This week Dibiase comes out wearing an expensive suit and says that he understands Dick Murdoch and the people of Texas being jealous of people like him but that is not an excuse for putting your hands on someone else. Dibiase goes on to wonder if the people down here are raised by animals…. Murdoch comes out again and goes right for Dibiase. Ted Dibiase: Hold on, hold on Murdoch. As you can see, I am not in my wrestling cloths which is very lucky for you or else I teach you a lesson after last week. Dick Murdoch: You claim to be so smart… so well educated yet you come to a Wrestling show without wrestling cloths…. Seems like you have overestimated your intelligence. Ted Dibiase: All I was trying to do down here in pig country was bring a little bit a class to show but mark my words, next time I am not dress in this $10,000 suit, I will show you who the real wrestler is. Murdoch grabs Dibiase… WHAM…From behind, the Sheik hits Murdock with his cane and the Sheik and Dibiase go to work on Captain Murdoch. Eventually, the locker room empties and the babyfaces chase the evil duo away. A bloodied Murdoch gets the mic and is screaming that Dibiase better be ready as he is coming for him. Angle #6: UWF NEWS During Butch Reeds’s promo, he made a point to call out Woman who seems to be searching for someone to take the title off him! Cocoa Samoa made a successful return this week to the UWF with a with over Larry Cheatum by way of the diving headbutt. Scott Rex, a newcomer to the UWF, impressed the fans in St. Louis with an array of power moves in his successful debut over Doug Overton with a big powerslam. At the show this week in Baton Rouge, the ring announcer told the fans that both Tony Atlas and Brad Armstrong were unable to make it to the arena due to a minor car accident. Angle #7: Next Big Card UWF President came out to hype up the Mississippi Mayhem on July 4th at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. He also announced that Dr.Death and Terry Gordy have demanded that they defend their belts at this big event against Vader and the Barbarian and that he has just drawn up the contract!! Angle #7: An Interesting Commercial Right after the segment where Watts hypes up Mississippi Mayhem, a commercial aired claiming to be the best wrestling promotion in the South as Mid-South Revolution announced their July 4 Spectacular in Mobile, Alabama titled Gauntlet for the Gold! Again, Jim Ross completely ignored the commercial when Power Pro Wrestling came back on the air!

UWF adds Ron Fuller

WOW!!!! What a main event! Match of the year! Rich vs Lawler is going to be awesome! I winder who is next for Slater! Terry Taylor turns heel! Love Fuller to hit the road! Can't wait to see where he is headed. Finally someone gives Estrada some of his own medicine! I think Morrow might need a loan! Great show! AWA is so consistent. Thanks for the fun read.

Really good job with the first night of Wrestlerock! I always like these big shows as I try to figure out where the writer is going. I wonder if Outback Jack is one and down in the AWA or if you have something else planned. I wonder if Mulligan wants more of Cooley as there seems to be some blood left to be spilled. What's next for the Bruise Brothers? Is Snuka going to keep coming after Iaukea? What will Gagne do to slow do Blackwell? Whose next up to challenge for the tag belts? Is Larry going to be done with Al Perez? Is that the end of Colon? Is Steamboat looking to go for the title again? Can't wait for the second show and your next tv show.

UWF adds Brett Sawyer and Scott McGhee

Awesome tv shows this week. I really liked that Billy Two Eagles tried the War Dance and Hansen was having none of it. Three great tv matches this week on WCW with The Outlaws vs Good n Plenty, Fleming vs Adias and Flair vs Ole. I wish I had shows like this when I was a kid but I wonder if the house shows would have struggled. Not sure but being so far away from Southern Promotions here in NYC, I would have loved great tv. The Holiday Card looks great. Tully vs Flair.... can't wait to see which way you go.

Awesome show! Medusa vs Richter for the title was an awesome match.... Lisa Moretti with the Powerbomb! Love the finish The tag champs seem to be unstoppable! Really like how the cream always seems to rise to the top here in WWW!

Nice job using your star power in the main event even though your future might be farther down the card. I think Bam Bam would be a good fit for Chicago. Nice way to introduce him. Garvin and Adams was my favorite match on the card but I am partial to those old Southern feuds. Snuka and Kamala was an interesting contrast in styles. I wonder how Khan felt when he was told he was getting powerslammed! Cool ending. Hall is going to be huge here in CHicago. Triumph was well done! Nice job.
