The Wahoo/Wildfire angle is a really fun read. Awesome job catching up

Looking forward to USWA Great opening as the Samoans get jumped by the Fab Ones step in and Win the belts. Fab Ones are a great choice to hold the belts Great first appearance by Sarge. He is much better as a fan favorite then a heel Looking forward to Martel and Idol going more than 10 minutes. That is a fun match up Interesting pairing with Baby Doll joining Murdoch and Adonis. I think Baby Doll could have used a fist instead of a purse. She was one big lady. She is going to cause chaos in the USWA Dundee vs Lawler... What a way to end TNT and head to 1985!

I will finish with Greg Valentine and Big Bubba Rogers

Mark Youngblood

Jay Youngblood

I will take Eric Embry

Honky Tonk Man

I will take Skandar Akbar

I take Ken Patera

If you have any interest in this crazy hobby, please let me know. There are plenty of quality free agents and great territories left! We are getting set to begin our second year in existence and now would be a great time to jump in.

I pick Jim Cornette

Spaldoni is up next for 2 picks

I pick the Midnight Express

I will pick Ron Garvin

ROCKY MOUNTAIN WRESTLING DENVER AUDITORIUM CHRISTMAS NIGHT, 1984 Rufus Jones vs Ken Timbs A 7 minute opener that sees Rufus Jones get the fans in a good mood as he defeats Timbs following three big headbutts and a right hand. Timbs did a nice job of drawing some heat here as he played the frightened heel here to perfection. The Zamboui Express (Elijah Akeem & Kareem Muhammad vs Johnny & Randy Rich) The Zamboui Express have been tearing it up of late and are looking to do it again to the Rich cousins. Randy showed up a few weeks ago and has joined Johnny in his fight against some of the biggest and most powerful wrestlers in Rocky Mountain. While Randy and Johnny were both willing to fight, there was just no way for them to match up with the Express. With Johnny in trouble, he went for the tag but it seemed like Randy kind of short-armed it a bit and left Johnny in to get a beating. In the end, Elijah Akeem hit Samoan Drop on Johnny and it was all over. Dick Slater vs Joel Deaton Not sure if it is because he did not get the nod from Blackjack Mulligan to fight Ernie Ladd tonight for the title or if he is upset by where he is on the card, Slater is violent and stiff throughout the match. The end comes with a big tapped fist by Slater and Deaton seems to be out cold. In fact, Deaton has to be helped to the back. Those in the know are concerned if there will be peace in the locker room tonight. Kendall Windham vs “Hollywood” John Tatum” This one has gotten some juice from recent altercations between the two on TV. Tatum has really become the full-blown arrogant, Hollywood, obnoxious heel of late and he just feels that he is wasting his time fighting a high-schooler. Windham is quickly becoming a fan favorite here as he has been humble and grateful for his opportunities. He also has never backed down from Tatum and has knocked him to the ground on numerous occasions. As for this match, we see Tatum go from strutting in to the ring to hiding behind the ref once the bout starts. Tatum tried his best to catch the youngster with some dirty tactics but each time, Windham seemed ready. This was by far Windham’s most complete match and he got the win with the running bulldog. Kendall looks like a future star! Grizzly Boone vs One Man Gang A true epic battle of the big boys. Boone has been doing everything he can of late to get revenge on Ernie Ladd for kicking him out of the Army and it seems like Ernie Ladd has had enough of the turncoat. He basically told Boone that he was kicked out because he wasn’t good enough and he was going to prove it by allowing his replacement, One Man Gang, to beat the Big Dummy. Ladd wasn’t wrong! Boone might be big but by the end of this, we see Ladd’s Army has gotten a big upgrade as OMG is not only big, but he can move! We see OMG end this one with a Giant Splash that Cowboy Bob said he was surprised the entire ring didn’t collapse! Lars Anderson vs Dory Funk Jr. Dory winning on Thanksgiving Night did nothing to quiet down Lars about the Anderson’s still being the top family in the sport and these two have had their clashes throughout the last month. Tonight’s seems to follow the same pattern as Dory seems to be one step smarter and keeps Lars off balance. In the end, Lars tried to bring the match to the gutter but by this point, Dory had weakened the right knee so badly, Lars was barely able to stand up and we see Dory get the win with the Spinning Toe Hold ROCKY MOUNTAIN TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Iron Sheik & Nicolai Volkoff © vs The U.S. Express (Tony Atlas & Hacksaw Duggan) What else is there to say but Good vs Evil and the champs might just be the best in the business at getting the heat right from the beginning with their infuriating entrance…. Flags… Anthem… spitting on the floor when talking about America. Well Atlas and Duggan allowed these antics for only so long and attacked right away! Tonight, we get that classic tag team finish where Atlas was being double teamed and made the hot tag to Duggan and we have a few moments of chaos! Atlas and Volkoff are paired off on one side of the ring while Duggan and the Sheik are on the other. The Sheik rakes Duggan’s eyes and then we see the Sheik started pounding those Arabian boots on the mat and the crowd is convinced he is “loading it up.” Atlas as Volkoff hoisted up for a Military Press Slam as the Sheik charges at Duggan with the Loaded Boot. WHAM!.... Atlas has dropped Volkoff right into the kick of the Sheik and that loaded boot! Volkoff is down and out. The Iron Sheik looks shocked and turns around in frustration. WHAM!... Football Tackle by Duggan on the Sheik. Atlas and Duggan look at each other and shrug! Atlas pins Volkoff and Duggan pins the Iron Sheik! The ref doesn’t seem to know what to do for a second and then he simply drops to the mat and makes the three count on both champs. The USA chants started immediately at the crowd is thrilled with the outcome when the Lawman announces the new champions. ROCKY MOUNTAIN TITLE: RETIREMENT VS MASK : Ernie Ladd © vs The Yellow Dog When Blackjack Mulligan was attacked and injured by Ladd’s Army in the parking lot a few weeks back, the Career vs Career Match seemed in jeopardy. Rocky Mountain President, Don Slatton, deemed that because Ladd was responsible for Blackjack’s injury that Mulligan could pick his replacement for the match and only Ladd’s career would be on the line. Mulligan chose the Yellow Dog who was basically a new comer to Rocky Mountain Wrestling but someone who has shown great loyalty to Mulligan. This decision angered Dick Slater but that is a story for another day. Ladd demanded that the Yellow Dog put his mask on the line and the Yellow Dog agreed. When these two got to the ring, they quickly got in each other’s faces. What stood out was that the Yellow Dog might not have the same weight as Ladd but he was almost as tall as the 6’9 Big Cat. This gave hope to the fans as they were all hoping for a huge Christmas present here where Ladd would be retired forever if he lost. As for the bout…. A True War. Both Ladd and the Yellow Dog have a lot of time wrestling on top and inflict some big punishment on the other. With the action out on the floor, Ladd uses the chain that the Yellow Dog brought to the ring and clobbers his opponent a big right hand. The yellow mask begins to turn red from the inside as it is apparent the Dog is bleeding. The ref warned Ladd but did not DQ him as he did not want to be the story behind Ladd’s retirement. Once back in the ring, we see the Yellow Dog slide under a big boot by Ladd and turn and catch the champ with a big uppercut that sends Ladd to the ground. The Yellow Dog leaps on Ladd with the Brain Claw and the fans know this was an ode to Blackjack Mulligan. While Ladd doesn’t submit, he is in trouble. With an amazing display of strength, the Yellow Dog suplexes Ladd! 1…. 2….. Kick Out by Ladd! Suplex #2 1… 2… 2 ½ Kick Out by Ladd DDT Right in the center of the Ring 1…2… 3! The crowd goes wild! The Yellow Dog is the new champ and Ernie Ladd is out of Wrestling! Kendall Windham is guiding Blackjack Mulligan to the ring as Mulligan’s leg is still in a cast. As Mulligan and Windham embrace Yellow Dog, Ladd is getting to one knee and uses the ropes to get all the way to his feet. He is yelling at the Yellow Dog to be a man a take the mask off! The Yellow Dog shrugs his shoulders as if it doesn’t matter any more and goes to pull the mask off Cowboy Bob Tallman: Oh my God! It all makes sense now…. The Yellow Dog is Blackjack Mulligan’s other son…. Barry Windham! Ladd is fuming but there is nothing he can do. He is now retired. STAMPEDE WRESTLING THE CORRAL CHRISTMAS NIGHT, 1984 Ben Bassarab vs Kim Duk: No angle, no feud here. Just a simple opener to allow fans to get to their seats as we see Bassarab defeat Kim Duk with a nice display of strength and some creativity from Bassarab as he finished off Duk with a Diving Headbutt. Jos Leduc vs Moose Morowski: This feud is in its second month as Leduc had taken offense to Morowski turning babyface after all these years. The last big match between these two saw Morowski tire of trying to play the nice guy as Leduc just beat him from pillar to post using questionable tactics. By the end, Moose had returned to his heel ways and the two brawled up the aisle and out of site. Tonight, Moose still gets the love from the crowd but the match is a brawl from beginning to end. We see a little blood from both men as Moose eventually gets the win by slamming a chair into the head of Leduc while the ref was down. After the bout, Moose is getting some love from the crowd as Leduc comes up from behind. Surprising to all, Leduc doesn’t attack but instead offers Morowski his hand and the two shake hands. Brian Blair & Sweet Brown Sugar vs Mr. X & Butch Moffit with John Foley: Why change what works in these mid-card tag team matches. The babyfaces start off well until some dirty deed by the heels as we pick it up with Sweet Brown Sugar being double teamed in the corner. After SBS plays the face in peril, we see the hot tag and Blair comes in and goes wild. We go All Four IN for a minute or two before Blair connects with the top rope frog slash on Moffit for the win. SBS connected with a perfect missile drop kick to the face of Mr. X just before he could make the save. British Commonwealth Title Match: Gama Singh © with John Foley vs Chief Joe Lightfoot Chief Joe comes out in full Native American attire here and seems focused for the match and it starts well for him. Foley doesn’t know what to do as his champ is taking a pretty good beating so Foley calls out to Lightfoot to get his attention. As Lightfoot turns to Foley, he sees the evil manager scoop up his Indian Headdress and run up the aisle. Lightfoot is fuming and takes off after Foley. The ref seems confused for a second until Gama Singh reminds him to start to counting. By the time the ref hits 3, Lighfoot and Foley have disappeared behind the curtain. Singh has a big smile on his face as he knows he has just defended his title. 5… 6… 7… As Singh is jawing at the crowd, Lightfoot, with the Headress on, is making a full sprint to the ring. Singh, thinks the roar of the crowd is for him doesn’t even turn around. 8… 9… Lightfoot hits the ring and attacks a shocked Singh. Foley never returns and we are left to wonder what Lightfoot did to him but we witness Lightfoot in a full WAR PATH attack on Singh. Eventually, we see Chief Joe lock in the Indian Death Lock and Gama is forced to submit…. Ed Whalen is heard announcing…. AND WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Dr. Death Steve Williams & Mr. Saito © with Bobby Heenan vs The Outlaws (Black Bart & Ron Bass) Williams and Saito just won the belts from the Hart Foundation 10 days ago in Sales Pavilion and it seems like this heel vs heel match did not have time to build and the fans just want to see a big brawl and that is exactly what happens. The blows are so big and powerful from both sides that it is like we are at a fireworks show as the fans keep ooooiinnng and aaahhhhhing. In the end, the fight spills to the outside and we get the double count-out. Stampede Title Match: Tito Santana © vs Jimmy Garvin with John Foley This feud has gotten white hot very quickly. Once Garvin turned on the Canadian fans and Tito Santana to join with Foley, he quickly became enemy #1 in Stampede. Tito’s popularity got a huge pop simply because of who his opponent was. As for the match… instant classic as both men bumped and sold all over the place. The question soon became whether or not Tito could succeed even though the numbers were against him. John Foley, who had returned from his early attack from Chief Joe Lightfoot using a cane to help him with his now injured leg and Precious escorted Gorgeous Jimmy to the ring and they did their best to help at every turn. The finish came as Tito came off the rope and connected with a Flying Burrito but as the ref got to the count of two, Precious reached in and placed Garvin’s leg on the ropes. The ref seemed to catch this out of the corner of his eye. He stopped the count and showed Tito the leg on the ropes but then he went to admonish Precious. Foley took this opportunity to jump up on the apron which surprised Ed Whalen as he seemed to but into the idea that Foley’s leg was bothering him. Foley now takes the can and raises it above his head! As he goes to clobber Santana with the weapon, the ref turns and sees what is about to take place. He quickly grabs the cane from Foley and starts to yell at him! WHAM!!! Precious clobbers Tito with the loaded purse and quickly puts Jimmy onto of Tito for the pin! The ref turns back to the action and sees the cover by Garvin. He has no idea of what happened so he goes for the cover. 1…2…3. And for the second time tonight, Ed Whalen announces a new champion has just been crowned. This time he isn’t so pleased as he blames the dirty rotten scoundrel, John Foley and the jezebel, Precious for the outcome. North American Title vs Mask Match: Bad News Allen © vs The Masked Bounty Hunter Now this one has some intrigue. Just before Thanksgiving, someone dared to place a bounty on Bad News Allen but that only served to anger the beast. Over the past few weeks, he has “stretchered” a bunch of jobbers and taken the North American Title from Paul Orndorff. As soon as Allen won the belt, he was attacked by this masked man and he was the only one to hold his own against Allen and that has brought us to this point. The crowd would love to see Allen lose the title,but they would also love to see who this masked man is that stood up to Bad News. With the challenger in the ring already and Allen making his entrance, all Hell broke loose. The Masked Bounty Hunter rushed from the ring and attacked! The brawl was on and never slowed down! They used everything they could find and you could tell this was real personal. After about 15 minutes of chaos, the two were finally separated and the ref declared this a No Contest. As Allen is being dragged towards the back, the Masked Bounty is pulled in the opposite direction… to the ring where he grabs the house microphone. Masked Bounty Hunter: Hey Bad News Allen…. You want to know who dared to place a bounty on your head! Well it was me and I am going to stick around here long enough to collect it! All of a sudden, the masked man pulls off the mask and the crows is shocked….. it is the Mongolian Stomper! There is such bad blood between these two after Allen said he hoped Stomper’s son died which was the real cause of the Calgary Riot of 1983. Stu Hart thought he had solved this problem back in March with a Loser Leave Town Match but it seems like Stomper will do anything to get his hands back on Bad News Allen. When Allen saw that it was Stomper in the ring… something snapped and he broke free from those holding him back. The brawl was back on and this time it was Stu Hart himself who came to the ring and threatened them both but they would not stop! Eventually Stu had no choice but to order the police to come in and take them both out in handcuffs. This wasn’t the easiest tasks and few officers seemed to take it on the chin before they could get control of the scene. AWA TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase © vs Bret Hart A true classic. Dibiase and Hart are just perfect in this match as we would expect from them so let’s just get to the finish…. Both Bret and Dibiase have spent a good part of the match working their opponents to try and set up their finishers. A few times, it looked like Dibiase had Hart set up for the Figure 4 only to be kicked off at the last second. Now with Hart in control, he is getting ready to lock in the Northern Lights Cloverleaf! The crowd explodes as he hooks it in right in the center of the ring. Dibiase is in agony but refuses to submit. He uses every once of strength to slowly drag Bret Hart to the ropes. 10 feet away! 5 feet away! 2 feet away! 1 foot away! Dibiase lunges at the rope….. he just misses and his hand slams into the mat! DING…. DING…. DING! Dibiase looks at the ref confused as does Bret Hart! We quickly hear Jim Davies, the ring announcer, announce, “Ladies and Gentleman….. Your winner by Submission and NEW AWA WORLD CHAMPION…. Bret Hart! The crowd goes wild as Dibiase is beside himself saying he didn’t tap out. Bret Hart, still shocked, drops to his knees and kisses the World Title belt! For tonight… we celebrate a new champion… for the rest of history… what we have just witnessed was the Calgary Screw Job!

I will pick Butch Reed

Must say that I was rooting for the Hennigs in the big tag match. Looking for ward to seeing them go for the title. Nice development of Ricky Vaughn. I think he really needed a manager in real life as he was not great on the mic Roosevelt Jones is one of my favorite character developments in the entire game. Knocking down Blackwell is a bug accomplishment for Ayala.... wonder if Colon will be next. Prichard should have known that he wasn't going to get a fair shot with Dundee... think the Dr. needs some friends. Wow... TNT is giving away a major card for the fans on Christmas

Looking forward to Battleground. The Dragon looks like he will be big time here in Pacific. Zenk is moving up the ladder nicely. I can just see the future chaos from the Freebirds... can't wait.
