Great American Bash 1986
PENSACOLA BAY CENTER JULY 4, 1986 Gordon Solie: Thank you. Thank you so very much and welcome once again to Continental Championship Wrestling sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance, the oldest and largest sanctioning body the world over. Tonight is going to be an historic evening as The Great American Bash continues with 9 huge matches including all three NWA World Titles. I see our ring announcer is set so let’s turn it over to Gary Michael Cappetta and get right to all the action. Gary Michael Cappetta: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the Pensacola Bay Center. The National Wrestling Association in conjunction with Continental Championship Wrestling brings you the best wrestling has to offer tonight as it presents the second night of the Great American Bash. Before we get to the ring, please stand and remove your hats as the great Lee Greenwood sings our national anthem. NWA JR. HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH Eric Embry © vs “White Lightening Tim Horner The fans are a little surprised here to see that it is Eric Embry coming out as the new NWA Jr. Heavyweight champion as he defeated “Mr. Electricity” Steve Regal last night in Denver. This fact matters little to them as they are all behind Tim Horner. After about 5 minutes of this match, it becomes obvious that it doesn’t matter if it is Embry or Regal as they are one and the same…. Cheaters! Embry is going to do anything possible to keep his new title and Horner seems a little off his game. Eventually Horner realizes that this has little to do with wrestling and it is time to fight fire with fire and the brawl is on! After a few minutes of wrestling from the top, we see Horner in complete control and Embry down on the mat. Horner climbs to the top rope as we hear the fans stirring. Gordon Solie: What’s he doing here? Its Steve Regal. He shoves Tim Horner off the top rope and Horner is down. The ref is calling for the bell. Regal is now climbing to the top rope himself. Wow… a devastating splash on Eric Embry! Regal now kicking and stomping away on both Horner and Embry. It doesn’t matter to him; Mr. Electricity is hitting everything in his way. It seems like he is out to prove that losing his title last night was a fluke, but this is not the place to behave like this. Typical Steve Regal… he can’t handle it when he is not the center of attention. I’m sure Tim Horner will have something to say about this and while I was not a fan of the tactics of one Eric Embry, I’m sure this is not how he wanted his first title defense to go. Winner by DQ: Tim Horner INTERGENDER MATCH Reggie Bennett vs “Dangerous” Danny Davis This match starts with a confident Danny Davis coming to the ring, antagonizing the fans showing off that 175 pound “muscular” body. This act continues all the way until Reggie Bennett hits the ring. She comes out to a huge ovation, and she hurries to the ring and goes right for Davis. Davis’ act is over now as he jumps out of the ring with the fear of God in him. Bennett turns to the crowd and the ovation grows louder. Bennett gives a few flexes and shows off what a body should look like. WHAM… from behind Davis nails Bennett with a running forearm. Bennett staggers but does not go down. WHAM… Davis with a knee to the back. Bennett again staggers. WHAM…. Davis, off the ropes, with a swinging neck breaker and down goes Bennett. We get a few minutes of dirty tactics from Dangerous Danny as he works over Bennett. That is until the crowd gets behind her and she does her best Hulk Hogan impression where everything Davis hits her is shrugged off like a gnat attacking an elephant. WHAM… Stunning short-arm clothesline by Bennett and down goes Davis. She drags him up by his hair…. Military Press… walks around the ring… BIG SLAM. Again, she drags him up by the hair, Irish whip to the ropes… Huge Running clothesline. And for the third and final time, she drags him up by the hair, and we hear Gordon Solie saying it looks like she is setting him for the piledriver… No… She lifts up but towards her face and slams him down on the back of her neck. (Powerbomb) This one is all over as the ref could have counted to 20! ANTHEM MATCH Killer Khan with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs Private Terry Daniels If Pvt. Daniels wins the match, the fans will celebrate to the Star Spangled Banner but if Khan wins, we will hear the Iraqi Anthem in honor of Sheik Adnan. The crowd in angered at the thought of hearing the Iraqi anthem on July 4th but their anger turns to cheers when Pvt. Daniels runs to the ring waving the American flag. There is a bit of uneasiness in the crowd for this one as you can hear the murmurs about how awful it would be to have the Iraqi anthem played on America’s Independence Day! Terry Daniels is game but Killer Khan is a monster. It becomes apparent that Daniels is in way over his head. With each kick, chop and punch, the end comes nearer. Eventually Killer Khan locks in the Asiatic Spike and it is all over. Sheik Adan Al Kassie comes into the ring looking very pleased with himself and grabs the mic, utters some words in Arabic and then demands that all American peasants rise for the national anthem of the greatest country in the world…. Iraq! The boos and debris rain down on Sheik Adnan and a confused looking Killer Khan. As the first cord of the anthem begins to play, we hear on another microphone… “Stop the music you maggot.” The crowd explodes as Sgt. Slaughter rushes towards the ring. The crowd explodes with pure jubilation. A savior has appeared on Independence Day! Adnan orders Killer Khan to attack the intruder and Khan obliges. The problem for Khan was that to Sarge, this was WAR. He came in, army helmet in hand… WHAM… he clobbers Khan with this heavy head gear and down goes the Mongolian beast. Sarge takes out the whip and is laying into Khan. Slaughter now sees Adnan coming into the ring. WHAM…. Cannon Clothesline by Slaughter…. The Arabian headdress goes flying as Sheik Adnan almost flips in the air as he is nearly decapitated. Slaughter goes to Pvt. Daniels, helps him to his feet and grabs the giant American flag that Daniels had brought to the ring. Sgt. Slaughter: Play Our National Anthem! The Star-Spangled Banner begins to blare through the speakers at the Bay Center. The crowd goes wild as Slaughter salutes Daniels and the two American heroes walk out together to a standing ovation! SOUTHEASTERN TITLE MATCH: TITLE & CONTRACT ON A POLE Wendell “Wild Cat” Cooley vs “The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel with Ronnie P. Gossett We see the title and a piece a paper on top of a 15-foot pole in one of the corners. This one has the fans on the edge of their seats. Not only is it for the title but someone is going to be leaving CCW. Give the devil his due, “The Nature Boy” can really do it all in the ring and after a rake to the eyes, he shows off that technical ability and has Cooley struggling. We get a lot of momentum changes early with some good chain wrestling and a few poor attempts at climbing the pole for the title and contract. Business picks up when Cooley blocked a right hand by Landel as he refused to break cleanly from the corner. The champ has had enough and is more than willing to mix it up. This is where RPG gets a little nervous and throws Landel some sort of elbow pad to Landel. Landel puts it on without the ref noticing. Landel whips Cooley to the ropes and catches him with a knee to the gut. WHAM… Landel drags Cooley to his knees and drops a “loaded” elbow to the neck of Cooley and he goes down hard. Landel starts to strut around the ring. The title is within his grasp. Landel off the ropes, he soars high in the air. Gordon Solie: Landel going for his patented Corkscrew Elbow Drop! He is high in the air! Cooley moves out of the way at the last second. Landel lands hard on the loaded elbow pad and he seems to have injured himself. Gossett is on the apron. WHAM… Huge right hand by Cooley and Gossett goes flying. Landel is up but holding that elbow. He comes at Cooley but gives a weak left-handed punch. Cooley easily blocks it and connects with a huge right hand of his own. Landel tries to pop up like it didn’t hurt but he fell right back on his face. Cooley scoops him up, walks around the ring with the Nature Boy… Wham…. Oklahoma Stampede! Cooley to the corner. He climbs to the top rope. 10 Feet to the title. He starts climbing. Landel is up but it is too late. With a burst of energy, Cooley yanks himself up the pole and grabs the title and contract. Gordon Solie: Oh, the look on the face of Ronnie Gossett is priceless. The over-confident Nature Boy has lost and will be looking for employment someplace else. Can’t say I am truly heartbroken that the Great American Bash has started off poorly for Mr. Gossett. And I do use the term Mr. lightly. LOSER WEAR A DRESS MATCH Jimmy Garvin with Precious vs Lanny Poffo with Woman No sense getting to involved here. We all know the hatred these two have for each other. Poffo comes out the same arrogant, hateable way while Garvin comes out in his same arrogant loveable way. Say what ever you like about the gimmick these two have going, they are both really good in the ring and with all the bumping, selling and willingness to work with each other, these two put on a really good show. We get a good mix of technical skill with some underhanded tactics by both men. Each time we see one of them try to put the dress on the other, we get a momentum changer as neither wants to leave here in lady’s clothing. In Poffo’s case, Woman interferes when ever things look bleak to give her man a chance to recover. That is until Garvin hoists Poffo up high, walks to the center of the ring, and plants him right on his head with a devastating Brainbuster! Garvin retrieves the dress. It is over the head. Woman climbs up on the apron. WHAM! Precious grabs the legs of Woman and pulls her off the apron. Her head hits the ring as she falls toward the arena floor and Precious is all over her like a hell cat! With the dress already over the head, Garvin props Poffo up to a seated position and puts one arm through the hole and then the other. The dress is on, and the match is OVER but the humiliation of Poffo is not done. Precious leaves a fallen Woman and regains her purse. She opens it up, pulls something out and tosses it to Gorgeous Jimmy. ITS LIPSTICK! Garvin with the coup de gras, bends over and puts bright red lipstick all over the lips and face of Lanny Poffo and then Garvin and Precious walk out to a huge ovation! MASK VS CONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH “Dirty” Dick Slater © vs Mr. Olympia This match starts out with two former allies throwing caution to the wind and going right to the brawling tactics. The fans are split on who they are rooting for, but they are loving the action. This style seems to favor Slater, but Olympia is holding his own. Gordon Solie: Oh no! What are you doing here? Ronnie Gossett: I have come to save the people from hearing you slurring your words. Gordon Solie: Shouldn’t you be helping Buddy Landel pack his bags that is if you can stop sobbing as you know you lost one of your meal tickets. We all know how much you love a Big Meal! RPG: Watch it Solie and don’t you worry about The Nature Boy. He has already signed a new wrestling contract and NWA fans; you will have the pleasure of seeing the most talented man in professional wrestling every Saturday on the Superstation! Bill Watts knows talent when he sees it and Buddy will be just down the road in Mid-South Wrestling! And if you really want to know, yes Bill Watts did throw a few dinners at some high-priced restaurants my way for helping him sign the Nature Boy! Gordon Solie: So that explains it. Now why are you out here at this moment. RPG: Just watching my new wrestler. I mean as soon as everybody in the back knew that Buddy was no longer with me, they wanted to know if my services where available. Gordon Solie: Are you saying that you have signed one of the two men in the ring right now. RPG: I have signed the one who will be leaving with the Continental Title. Gordon Solie: Enough of your cryptic talk Sir. Who have you signed? RPG: Have another drink. Sit back and you will find out soon. Gossett walks to the ring but says nothing to either wrestler. As the action in the ring continues, Slater whips Mr. Olympia towards the ropes but he slams into ref Mac Murray and down goes Murray. Gossett is now up on the apron. WHAM… Slater with a big right hand and down goes Olympia. Ronnie is in the ring and hugs Slater as the boos rain down on the champ. His fans can’t believe that he is with Ronnie P. Gossett pulls out a pair of brass knucks and puts them on. Slater drags Mr. Olympia over towards the corner while Gossett tries to climb the ropes. He can only get to the middle rope and is holding on for balance. Slater is holding Olympia’s legs as Ronnie P. is getting set to come off the ropes with a brass knucks blow! WHAM…. Ronnie P. connected right to the back of the head, but it was the head of Dirty Dick Slater!!! Mr. Olympia drags a knocked-out Slater to the center of the ring and covers him while Gossett goes and helps the ref. Mac Murray sees the pin attempt and slowly begins to make the 3 count! 1…2…3! Gordon Solie: What has just happened? It seems like Slater has been double crossed by Ronnie Gossett. Mr. Olympia is your NEW Continental champion! CONTINENTAL TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH Tommy & Johnny Rich © vs Bob & Brad Armstrong Both teams come out to nice ovations, but the biggest ovation of this match was for Peggy Rich, Wildfire’s mother, who is responsible for bringing Tommy and Cousin Johnny back to the side of good. This match starts with a handshake from Bob and Tommy as they start off this title match. The crowd is more in favor of Bob and Brad as this is of course Alabama, but the Rich cousins are not far behind in the love factor. We get about 12 minutes of technical wrestling where Brad is the star. All 4 men are doing a nice job of selling for each other and while this is not your typical Continental Match, the crowd is really enjoying it. Wildfire, who has been on the bottom for a while gets a little frustrated and goes to pop Brad with a right hand in the corner. This draws the ire of both Brad and Peggy. Peggy is fuming at her son and comes to ringside and demands that he tag out. Johnny is in and the technical match continues with Peggy berating her son. When the “yelling” is over, Tommy tags back in for more technical stuff. A few more tags by both sides and we end up with Brad following Wildfire to the ropes as he is trying to roll up Wildfire for the pin. WHAM… without the ref or Bob Armstrong noticing, Peggy, clobbers Brad with her “old lady’s purse” and Brad goes down. Wildfire on top…. 1…2…3! The crowd is booing like crazy as Peggy celebrates with her boys and the trio makes hasty retreat as the crowd begins to throw debris at them. Brad and Bob are stunned in the ring. Gordon Solie: Well… I don’t know what to say. I really thought Tommy and Johnny had seen the light but now we find out that the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree. Peggy might be the most-rotten Rich of them all! Tommy “Wildfire” Rich and Johhny Rich are still the Continental Tag Team Champions! NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH Ted Dibiase & Dr. Death © vs The Tennessee Studd Stable (Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden) with Ronnie P. The NWA Tag Title picture has been cleared up after last night’s win by Dibiase and Dr. Death at the first night of the Bash in Denver. You might think the hard match against the Funks and Zaibatsu, plus the travel would have taken its toll on the champs but it seems getting their titles back has only served to energize them for tonight. They come out like a house a fire and there seems to be nothing that can stop them. Nothing except Ronnie P.! Lucky for the champs that Dick Slater has not left the building yet and he is still white hot with rage at Ronnie. About 5 minutes into this match, the crowd explodes as Slater sprints toward the ring and RPG! Gossett sees this and his mouth drops wide open, and his eyes are as wide as the Grand Canyon. There is nowhere to run! Slater is slamming RPG from one steel girder to another. WHAM… Slater rams RPG into the ring post and he is a bloody mess. All this action outside the ring just seems to fire up the champs even more in the ring. The end comes after a Dr. Death powerslam on Golden for a clean win over the Studd Stable. NWA WORLD TITLE MATCH Magnum T.A. © vs The Masked Superstar Before the match, Gordon cannot help but hype up the match last night in Denver between Magnum and Jumbo Tsuruta and he even goes so far as to say that Magnum was lucky to survive that bout and wonders if he has anything left in the tank. The nearly 300-pound Masked Superstar comes to the ring first and he is accompanied by the other near 300-pound Masked Superstar #2. While the crowd is all over the Superstar, he ignores them and is all business. T.A. comes out to a huge ovation but he also seems laser-focused and avoids many of his usually high-fiving with the fans. We found out this match is going to be all about the power moves and who can counter them best. The Superstar gets the first advantage as he blocks an early belly to belly attempt by the champ as he dropped T.A. on his shoulder for a nasty jawbreaker-like move. Back and forth we go, Superstar using his weight to simple lean on the champ to wear him down while T.A. keeps searching for a way to connect until finally…. WHAM… T.A., after an Irish Whip connects with the Belly to Belly. The problem was that Masked Superstar #2 dragged out Superstar #1 and gave his partner time to recover. The ref complained but did little else but complain. We see the two Superstars conversing before #1 come back in. Magnum grabs him and musters up enough strength to slam the Superstar who is in a real bad way. The crowd gets on him as he rolls out of the ring looking for another breather. The camera picks up the old switch-a-roo as Superstar #2 enters the ring. T.A. not knowing it, thinks he has The Masked Superstar right where he wants him. WHAM… Big blow by Superstar #2 and it is like a brand-new match has just begun accepting that it is a fresh #2 vs a worn out T.A. We get another 12-15 minutes like we did in the beginning with each man searching for that big move. We get a copy of the beginning where eventually The Superstar is hit with the belly to back only to have #1 drag out #2 and we get another switch of the Masked Men! Finally, at about the 50-minute mark, the action spills outside. T.A. body slams #1 on the cement floor and then grabs #2 and rams his head into the ring post. T.A., as quickly as someone who is exhausted can, throws Superstar #1 back into the ring. Irish Whip…Belly to Belly…. 1…2…3! Gordon Solie: Magnum T.A. has survived. Folks that was basically a handicap match and Magnum T.A. might be the only wrestle in the world who could have beaten both Masked Superstars on the same night. The real question though is whether Magnum T.A. has anything left in the tank for his match tomorrow night against the “Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff. For those lucky enough to be in New Orleans tomorrow night, make sure to head down to the Superdome. For those of you night in the Crescent City, get there! This will be one for the ages. So long from the Sunshine State. I hope you enjoyed your Independence Day!

AWA Major League Wrestling
WrestleRock is the biggest event since you took over the AWA and it doesn't disapoint! Great job with this event in what might just be the biggest day in Dawn of War yet! Great way to hype up the card even more with Dream Machine coming out. AWA worked so closely with Memphis that he would be known throughout the territory. I think everyone knew that this is WrestleRock and Not BattenRock and that they were in a little over their heads with the Fab Ones. This match rocketed the Fab Ones back towards the top of a very crowded tag division... can't wait to see how far they rise. Nice job with the Loser Leave Town Match. I think the biggest thing here was you bringing Ox in as a manager...awesome personality and perfect for Dawn of War. Casey with Sunshine gets a nice win but the highlight of the segment was Johnny V with Billy Joe Travis.... some bad music at WrestleRock makes you a heel from the start! Not to mention the Guitar shot on Cash.... WOW... I bet Travis pays for this somewhere down the road. Priceless over Bruise Brothers .... Hope we see more of this or maybe not.... Cash vs Travis is interesting also. You have a few choices here and I can't wait to see where you go. You have to pay Colon extra. He is the AWA's man anytime we want a bloody, wild feud. Beast of Burden vs Cabin Fever followed by Rage in the Cage.... this is not your Father's Awa.... this is a precursor to ECW.... Love the violence here. Rage in the Cage might just be the best and most creative match we have had in Dawn of War in the 30 months of this game. AWESOME!!! Wow, Dream Machine's stock price rose quick tonight!! Verne looking down at Greg and shaking his head might be the most interesting moment of the night.... What comes next is very interesting. Great way out of the Bock-Wahoo match. It was a classic and both men are still strong as ever. Canek vs Haystacks was one that I have been looking forward to. Canel is someone that many people are not so familiar with but he is Big Time. Glad you had him win this won and I can't wait to see what is next. Here comes Eartquake Ferris. I need to do a little research here. I like when we use some of the lesser known guys. Nice use of the Vin Man... who seems to keep finding trouble. Idol vs Rocky was a nice culmination to a great feud!! Idol will be great on the mic after this win. I always thought that we would eventually get the Fab Ones vs The RnR Express.... just had no idea that it would be tonight! I wonder if this is good for Hennig and Adias or bad. It helped them through WrestleRock but now they got two top teams in line for a title shot. Steamboat vs St. Clair.... Instant classic. Not as familiar with St. Clair as I should be but this match seemed to rival Steamboat-Flair. Let's get ready for some music!!!! AWESOME JOB THAT TOOK A HUGE EFFORT.... THANKS!

Great American Bash 1986
Great first night of the American Bash! Great touches by adding in the quite by Truman and the song by James Brown. Really good use of Cappetta throughout the show! Nice idea you had. The World Tag tourny was well done as all teams get a win which keeps everyone strong. Dibiase and Doc love getting the actually titles back in their hands. Sommers coming to the ring with Embry was a nice idea. A heel vs heel match is sometimes hard to do but you showed that their are levels to heels and I agree with you that Embry out heels Regal. Nice use of Chicky Starr.... we not only got a new champion in Whatley but we got another feud starting.... JJ vs Starr. Kendell vs Smirnoff was so well written. The vivid desrcriptions of the use of the chain was great. Also, in my mind, when a big card like the Bash can give you an end to some feuds, a beginning to new feuds and a continuation of other feuds, it has done its job. This match has all 3. Windham goes over Smirnoff but his feud with Akbar contiues.... but who will it be against. Awesome Match.... I think that it might be my favorite of the card. Nice job having the Womens Title Match and the way you did it makes is so relevant to our game and helps solidify Scarlet's hard work. Thanks! I loved your cage match... the little hole for the camera was a nice touch and I just figured Sullivan would use this to his advantage. WOW... THAT MAIN EVENT WAS GREAT! Not sure Magnum can survuve 2 more nights of this. Lucky DIbiase and Doc had not left yet to hit the bars and celebrate getting the belts back.

Smoky Mountain Wrestling
Great opening card. Fritz is going to have to work hard to win over the Tennessee crowd. His Texas rep may make him a hated commish which could be fun also.

Western States Wrestling
Exciting week coming up for the NWA and a great way to kick it off with more good news about the NWA Womens Title Match Good use of the TV show to hype up the big event. You have outdone yourself this week with some of your jobber names! Eustis reminded me of that TV show on the history channel, Mountain Men. I think you did a great job with the big show at the Sports Arena. You gave the crowd an exciting card without pushing any of your angles any further before the bash! Battle Royals are always big ticket sellers and can be used either to not give to much away or to push or start other angles. Good use of the roster here!

Continental Championship Wrestling
WITH GORDON SOLIE JUNE 25, 1986 BOUTWELL AUDITORIUM BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA Gordon Solie: Thank you. Thank you so very much and welcome once again to Continental Championship Wrestling sanctioned by the National Wrestling Alliance, the oldest and largest sanctioning body the world over. Folks we are just over a week away from the greatest event in wrestling history… The Great American Bash. A three-night wrestling spectacular in 3 cities that showcases all of the top talent across the entire NWA. I am lucky enough to be announcing the event on Independence Day and we will be discussing that card in Pensacola throughout tonight’s show. Also, on tonight’s show we will be seeing Lanny Poffo taking on Doug Gilbert. “White Lightening” Tim Horner will be taking on “Rotten” Ron Starr. In an Arm-Wrestling Challenge, “Dangerous” Danny Davis is taking on Reggie Bennett and in the Main Event, it will be the NWA World Tag Team Champions, Ted Dibiase and Dr. Death teaming with “Wendell “Wild Cat” Cooley against the entire Tennessee Stud Stable, Robert Fuller, Jimmy Golden and the “Nature Boy” Buddy Landell. That and much, much more when we return! Commercials + Promo for the Great American Bash PENSACOLA BAY CENTER JULY 4, 1986 NWA WORLD TITLE MATCH Magnum T.A. © vs The Masked Superstar NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH Ted Dibiase & Dr. Death © vs The Tennessee Studd Stable (Robert Fuller & Jimmy Golden) MASK VS CONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH “Dirty” Dick Slater © vs Mr. Olympia CONTINENTAL TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH Tommy & Johnny Rich © vs Bob & Brad Armstrong LOSER WEAR A DRESS MATCH Jimmy Garvin with Precious vs Lanny Poffo with Woman NWA JR. HEAVYWEIGHT MATCH “Mr. Electricity Steve Regal © vs “White Lightening Tim Horner SOUTHEASTERN TITLE MATCH: TITLE & CONTRACT ON A POLE Wendell “Wild Cat” Cooley vs “The Nature Boy” Buddy Landel with Ronnie P. Gossett INTERGENDER MATCH Reggie Bennett vs “Dangerous” Danny Davis PATRIOTIC GRUDGE MATCH Killer Khan with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie vs Private Terry Daniels When we come out of break, we see Tommy “Wildfire” Rich, Johnny Rich, Bob and Brad Armstrong at the interview desk. These two teams were bitter ememies just a few weeks ago but that all changed when Tommy Gilbert brought in Wildfire’s mother and she seemed to straighten out the bad behavior of the Rich boys. Gordon hypes up the fact that these two teams will be facing each other at the Great American Bash with the Continental Title on the line. Both teams expressed the fact that they are in for a tough match and Wildfire and Johnny apologized for their recent actions and that they are so happy the crowd has come back to support them like they did in the past. A handshake by all wrestlers and Gordon takes us to the ring for our first match. MATCH Lanny Poffo with Woman vs Doug Gilbert Solie begins by hyping up the Loser Wears a Dress Match between Poffo and Jimmy Garvin at the Great American Bash. Throughout the match, it is obvious that Gilbert is quickly improving as he is giving Poffo all that he can handle. Problem was that Poffo and Woman make a great team and when Poffo distracted the ref, Woman sprayed something at the face of Gilbert and he went out cold. Poffo climbed to the top rope and came off with an unnecessary frog splash. Gordon Solie: What’s this? What is Woman doing. She has some sort of garment, it’s a …. Dress. She hands it to Lanny Poffo and he is putting it on Doug Gilbert. Oh my, this is wrong. Doug Gilbert is out on his feet after whatever Woman sprayed in his nose. Poffo has the dress over the head of Gilbert. There is a roar from the crowd… Gordon Solie: Here comes Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin…. Poffo sees him and is running for the ropes. Garvin swings at Poffo. Poffo escapes the punch and Garvin and is running for the locker room. As Poffo gets to the curtain, we see Poffo and Woman smiling while Garvin is screaming at them to get back in the ring and we will see who is wearing the dress at the Great American Bash. Garvin helps Gilbert to his feet as Gilbert thanks Garvin for his help. Commercials + Promo for the Great American Bash Before our next match, the Continental Champion, Dick Slater joins Solie to hype his title vs mask match at the Bash. Slater comes out to a mixed reaction as some agree that Mr. Olympia is the bad guy while others fault Slater for attacking Olympia after he failed to show up for a few tag matches. Dick Slater: One thing I know is that my word means everything to me. If I say I am going to be somewhere, I am going to be there. If I say I’ve got your back, trust me, I got your back. I guess that doesn’t hold true for Mr. Olympia. I know we have seen his ugly face before and that mask doesn’t mean a lot to some of you, but to me, it is his way of hiding. His way to do whatever he wants. If he says one thing and does another, that’s okay because he really isn’t Mr. Olympia. Well, once I beat him in the center of that ring at the Great American Bash, he won’t have that mask to hide behind anymore. Like I said, my word is one thing that never bends and whether you like it or not, I guarantee that Mr. Olympia will leave Pensacola without his other identity and without my Continental Title! Gordon Solie: There you have it fans. Dick Slater has given his word that he is going to beat Mr. Olympia at the Bash and I have known Dick a long time and when he says something, it almost always gets done! Let’s get back to the ring. MATCH “White Lightening” Tim Horner defeated “Rotten” Ron Starr” with the rolling cradle. Tim Horner did a good job of dealing with the questionable tactics of Ron Starr and taking advantage of his speed to catch Starr with the cradle. Solie spent most of the match hyping up the fact that Horner had earned an NWA Jr. Heavyweight Title Match at the Bash and his opponent would either be the current champ, Mr. Electricity Steve Regal, the current champ or Eric Embry who Regal will face on the first night of the Great American Bash. Horner, humble as always, praised both Regal and Embry but does say that he is more then ready to win back the title he has already held before and that that he is ready to mix it up if Regal or Embry wants to and if you didn’t believe him, just take a look at what just happened to Rotten Ron Starr. Commercials + Promo for the Great American Bash As we come out break, Magnum T.A. is with Gordon Solie Gordon Solie: Magnum T.A., it is great to have the NWA World Champion here with us tonight. Magnum T.A.: Gordon, it is great to be here. NWA has the greatest fans in all of wrestling and it is always a honor to be with them. Gordon Solie: I agree with you there Magnum. Now let’s get to the Great American Bash. 3 Night, 3 Cities against Jumbo Tsuruta, Masked Superstar and “The Russian Nightmare” Nikita Koloff. Magnum: It is going to be a tough run but as the champion, I am used to wrestling all over the world and against the toughest competition in the world. I am confident. Confident in myself and confident in these fans that we will come out of this on top. Gordon Solie: I certainly hope so and I wish you luck. Thanks for giving us a few moments of your time. Let’s get back to the ring where we have a very interesting contest coming up next… It will be an Arm-Wrestling Match between Dangerous Danny Davis and Reggie Bennett. ARM-WRESTLING MATCH Danngerous Danny Davis vs Reggie Bennett Gordon takes a few moments to explain that Davis has been talking a lot lately about the inabilities of women in the wrestling industry and how he believes they should be at home serving there man. Danny Davis enters the ring flexing his “muscles” as best he could with his 175 pound body and starts pointing at and laughing at Reggie Bennett. Bennett comes out with a coat on and then when Davis gets in her face, she takes of coat and reveals a massive body! Even the arrogant Davis takes a step back. As the two get ready for the arm-wrestling match, Davis shows the normal antics before an armwrestling match. He stalls, pulls away, walks around the ring but none of this gets under the skin of Bennett. Eventually the two get locked up and the ref signals for the match to begin. WHAM… 2 seconds later, Bennett slams Davis’s hand to the table. Davis is stunned while Reggie Bennett celebrates her win by turning to the fans. WHAM… From behind, Dangerous Danny Davis clobbers Reggie Bennett with a big forearm smash. Bennett completely no sells the attack and turns ready to kill Davis. Davis has that look of complete fear in his eyes! WHAM… Bennett scoops Davis up, walks around the ring for a good 20 seconds or so before planting him hard in the center of the ring with a huge powerslam! Satisfied that she has proven her point, Bennett leaves the ring ready for the Great American Bash! Commercials + Promo for the Great American Bash As we come out of break, we see Ronnie P. Gossett with Gordon Solie and he is so excited by the fact that in little over a week, he will be the manager of the not only the Southeastern Champion as Nature Boy Buddy Landel will easily beat Wendy Cooley and that the Studd Stable are the greatest tag team in the world today so they will beat whatever team survives the first night of the bash and become the NWA World Tag Team Champions. Gordon reminds RPG that the Southeastern Title match is also a contract on a pole match and that he might just be without the services of Mr. Landel once the Bash is over. Once again, RPG wonder how much Solie has had to drink today. Solie quickly answers back wondering how much RPG had to eat today. RPG threatened Solie but Solie did not back down. 6 MAN TAG MATCH: Ted Dibiase, Dr. Death & Wendell Cooley vs Robert Fuller, Jimmy Golden and Buddy Landel with RPG This match gives Solie one last chance to hype up the Bash as each member of the match got their time to shine. In the end, we get one of those wild DDQ as there is brawling all over the arena as Solie reminds us to get out tickets to the Bay Canter in Pensacola on Independence Day! Gordon Solie: So long from the heart of Dixie! DARK MATCHES The Dirty White Boy defeats Joe Savoldi with the Bucksnort Blaster. Scott & Steve Armstrong defeat Ron & Don Harris with double top rope leg drops on Ron. Plowboy Frazier defeats JR Hogg with a Giant Splash Steve Gatorwolf defeats Mr. X with a running knee lift.

All roads lead to WrestlRock! The RnR Express with a little heel action here adds a whole knew element to them. This is going to be fun to watch. The Billy Jack's feud is one that I am really enjoying. Wahoo vs Bock, Lawler vs Dundee are huge as a victory here could send them to the top of the contender's list for the AWA World Title! Brusie Brothers vs Priceless is..... well.... Priceless! Can't wait for the write up for GIant Haystacks vs El Canek.

First for the show on June 23... Like how Madusa is dressing down her own stablemates but it will be interesting to see how long they stand for it.... especially Maxine. As for the Supercard.... Madusa and Maxine win the tag title but again, Madusa does nothing in the interview to endure her to her stablemates! Not so fast Wendy Richter.... makes this feud even better with her defeat.

Very well booked card. The fan favorites get off to a fast start but then the heels make the comeback follwed by an action backed 2 out of 3 falls Draw! I like the team of U.S. Steel and Rufus. Their size and brawling ability fit nice here in WSW! They would really get over with the crowd. Between the Funks, Zaibatsu, Dev. Inc, The Long RIders, etc, etc, your tag team division is DEEP and really fits well into this territory. Really glad you have jumped in with us. Thanks! WSW is a fun read each and every show.

I really enjoyed the card in Portland. Seeing Hansen and the young Simmons in an all out brawl would be something I would remember for ever. Busick is one of my favorites in the game and I real enjoy what you have done with him. As always, your development of the youngsters is awesome to see. Young Vic in the title match was cool but the Playboy is right where he deserves to be! The Eugene card was also very interesting to see as the development of the youngsters continues to be a focus of PCW. Adams with a nive win. JJ making the most of his tag team situation. Windham seems to be getting on a roll here and your last two matches were big time. Can I ask are your California titles on the line even when the event is not in California?

Scarlet is having trouble posting his show so he asked me to do it for him. The site seems to be acting up again. Hey there, I hope this works! I’m currently unable to properly access the site. The reply form never opens and all I’m left with is the option to insert an attachment. If possible, could you reply to my thread with this and explain the situation? Thanks in advance! * Wonder Women of Wrestling – Episode No. XXIX – 23rd of June 1986 – Airing Live! – Las Vegas, Nevada Advertised Match: Lisa Moretti versus Desiree Petersen for the WWW Fighting Spirit Championship and the NWA Texas Women’s Championship This week, the programme opens with a snazzy video package showing off loads of new merchandise, extra footage of Debbie Combs and hype packages for various matches at the upcoming supercard. We then move onto the television title match, with Velvet McIntyre taking on Luna Vachon. The challenger is coached throughout the match by her mentor Medusa Miceli and seems to have greatly improved her in-ring ability but even the guidance and occasional overt aid from the leader of the monsters can’t keep Luna Vachon in the game long enough to really pose a threat to Velvet McIntyre – who seems to have found a new lease of life as TV champion. Velvet McIntyre defeats Luna Vachon in 13:10 by pinfall after a swinging hurricanrana to retain the WWW Television Championship After a brief interlude – this one shilling the new “WWW Magazine” and its inaugural prediction competition – we head to the interviews. All of the monsters are sat with Luna Vachon for a tense dressing down from their leader. Rhonda Singh tries to complain about Luna Vachon being given her spot but is browbeaten by an enraged Medusa Miceli who promises to show them how it’s done in her own match. Velvet McIntyre uses her interview time to politely request that Debbie Combs consider her for a world title match when she “inevitably” crushes Wendi Richter for a second time. A commercial break then takes us through to a tag team match to determine the title challengers on Saturday. The Star Girls are taking on the terrifying pairing of Medusa Miceli and Mad Maxine. The resulting contest is brutal from start to finish as the superior athlete Medusa Miceli takes on a well-oiled machine in the form of Rockin’ Robin and Jamie West almost single-handed as she leaves Mad Maxine on the apron – saving her for clean-up duty. As tiredness eventually wears her down, Medusa Miceli is forced to tag out after pin attempt catches her with less than a second to spare. Once Mad Maxine enters, however, it’s obvious who’ll win. Rockin’ Robin takes a big boot that sends her soaring from the apron, colliding violently with the guard rail, and Jamie West goes up for a devastating gorilla press slam. Medusa Miceli & Mad Maxine defeat Rockin’ Robin & Jamie West in 14:32 when Mad Maxine pins Jamie West after a gorilla press slam After another brief interlude, we head to the interviews. The Star Girls, beaten and bruised, swear they’ll find a strategy for neutralising Mad Maxine the next time that the two teams clash. Medusa Miceli, on the other hand, rants at the interviewer, the audience and her own stablemates – declaring herself to be the most dominant competitor in the company and promising to have every title belt in the company around the waist of a member of her faction by the time the summer’s over. A second commercial break then takes us to the main event. With her stablemates there to cheer her on and no one in the champ’s corner, Desiree Petersen has the morale advantage and, in the early goings of the match even appears to have tactical advantage. Once the feeling out process is complete, however, Lisa Moretti sinks her teeth in and proceeds to torture the challenger at every turn. The champion is utterly merciless and uses the contest, seemingly, to prove a point. The babyface breaks out occasionally, even going on extended runs from time to time but, without variation, is brought to heel before she can seriously threaten an upset. Lisa Moretti defeats Desiree Petersen in 15:07 by pinfall after a powerslam to retain the WWW Fighting Spirit Championship and the NWA Texas Women’s Championship
