To see Funk in retreat is real interesting. Who is this masked man?

I like that Backlund continues to be a WWF focus. Like the format with the featured match! It gives the fans something big each week which is not what happened when I was a kid watching WWF in 1984

September 29, 1984 Music intro with a montage of all the stars of Stampede Wrestling past and present is shown. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Stampede Wrestling, coming to you from the CHCT Studios in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Ed Whalen: Hi everybody and away we go with another edition of Stampede Wrestling. I am Ed Whalen coming to you from the CHCT Studies in downtown Calgary. Today we will be showing some matches from last Monday in the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton and I promise you another ring-a ding-dong- dandy of a show so let’s not waste any time and get you right to the action. Assassin #1 vs Ric McCord Just utter confusion here as Assassin #1 1 is accompanied by Assassin #2 and we get a few switch-a-roos here and McCord basically is fighting two against 1. Eventually it is just too much for Ric and he goes down in defeat as Assassin #1 hits a big suplex. When asked about their dirty tactics, the Assassins played dumb and were insulted by the question! Promos for Monday’s show in the Corral in Calgary MX-1 vs Ben Bassarab The masked chaos continues as the Assassins follow MX-1 to the ring and this time we see Assassin #1 hand some sort of object to MX-1 who puts it into his mask and slams Bassarab with a headbut. Bassarab goes down for the count. In the post-match interview, MX-1 says he just proved why he should have been given the AWA World Light Heavyweight title match last week against Brad Armstron as he beat Bassarb in two minutes flat! Again, the masked trio plays dumb to the allegations of questionable tactics. Bassarab along with McCord and Brad Armstrong come out to confront the masked trio. Brad Armstrong is fuming about how MX-1 keeps insulting not only himself but Bassarab who he admits nearly took the title from him last week. The three want a rematch TONIGHT to put MX-1 and the Assassins in their place and the match is quickly granted by Stu Hart and lets us know it is coming up next. Promos for Monday’s show in the Corral in Calgary 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH Ben Bassarab, Ric McCord & Brad Armstrong vs The Assassins & MX-1 First of all, I will admit to some bad booking here as I should not have used the World Light Heavyweight Champion on a card without some promos as we are in the business of selling tickets and a surprise match would not have done that but this show was just too short due to some upcoming roster changes that I was stuck. Sorry. As for the match a bit of a wild one with the masked trio trying all sorts of shenanigans but they could not find a way to come up with the win. MX-1 resorted to the same gimmick he tried earlier in the evening as Assassin #1 handed MX-1 some object which he stuffed inside the mask. The problem was that Brad Armstrong had seen the earlier match and knew what to expect. As MX-1 went for the headbutt, Armstrong smashed him face first into the turnbuckle and MX-1 basically knocked himself out and Brad made the easy pin as Bassarab and McCord made sure the Assassin didn’t make the save. Promos for Monday’s show the Corral AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan vs Paul Orndorff This is the first time in a long time that somebody has gotten so under the skin of the Nature Boy that he might have actually put his title on the line before thinking. We get a great 30 minute match here and the video highlights pick it as Flair shoves Orndorff into the ref and down he goes. Heenan sees his chance to save Flair and he grabs a chair as Flair hold’s Orndorff. WHAM…. Heenan, who is still in a neck brace from the chair shot by Orndorff two weeks, crushes Orndorff in with the steel chair. This allows Flair to do whatever he wants and what he wants to do is punish Orndorff. We hear Flair say, “Now we go to school,” and locks in the Figure 4. Orndorff is basically out already from the chair and when the ref comes to, he sees Orndorff’s shoulders down and makes the three count. As Flair and Orndorff celebrate their victory, Stu Hart comes out! POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: Jim Davies: Well… I just don’t know what to say! Just as the Flair is about to take the microphone, Stu Hart comes and. Stu Hart: Eh, not sure if you two think you have proven something tonight but all you have proven to me and these fans is that the Nature Boy needs to cheat to win and he a manager who seems to excel in cheating. Ric Flair: All I know is that for years, the wresting world has revolved around me. I wrote the book on winning. I wrote the book on making the big bucks. I wrote the book on the ladies and tonight I wrote the book of how to leave Paul Orndorff laying flat on his back in the center of the ring for the 1…2…3. Stu Hart: Eh… I think you are leaving something out… Bobby Heenan… you had a lot to do with that. Bobby Heenan: Well… nothing gets by you Stu. A manager’s job is to guide his clients and that is what I did. Stu Hart: You don’t guide with a steel chair. Heenan and Flair actually have a little laugh at that one. Stu Hart: Oh, you two think that is funny. Well, I hope you think this is funny two. Next week in the Corral in Calgary, Paul Orndorff will get a rematch for the North American Title. This takes the smile off of Flair and Heenan really quickly. Stu Hart: Oh… one more thing…. Bobby Heenan… you are banned from ringside. Flair and Heenan are fuming as the crowd goes wild! Ed Whalen: Wow… will Ric Flair find a way out of this one or will Paul Orndorff win the AWA North American Title. Promos for Monday’s show in the Corral AWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Hart Foundation vs The Movement with Special Referee, Stan Hansen With Hansen making sure there is no nonsense from the Movement, the Hart’s are off to a quick start. Eventually we get a rake of the eyes by Shaska on Bret which Hansen is all over Whatley for, but the tactic did its job as the Movement takes control. Bret does a nice job of playing the face in peril as the champs mount a vicious double team attack. Somehow, Bret gets the tag and we go bonzo-gonzo with all 4 men in the ring. Neidhart and Whatley end up out on the floor while Hart catches Tiger Conway Jr. in the Northern Lights Cloverleaf and it looks like we might have a new champ. Hansen keeps asking Tiger if he wants to submit and it looks like it is getting close. The crowd stirs as Bad News Allen rushes to the ring and he grabs Hansen by the leg and drags him to the floor. While there is no ref, it appears that Conway does submit but nobody can be sure. As Hansen and Allen brawl out on the floor, Sheik Adnan Al Kassie rushes to the ring and comes up from behind Bret Hart who doesn’t see him…. WHAM…. Fire Ball to the face! Hart is rolling around on the mat and screaming so loudly that people in the audience actually begin to cry. The Sheik, who was fired last week by Stu Hart for his brutal attack on Tito Santana, rushes for the ring as Ed Whalen is yelling for both the medics for Bret Hart and the police for Sheik Adnan Al Kassie. DING…. DING… DING The bell rings and we here AWA top official, Gene Kiniski on the microphone saying that due to outside interference, the winners of the match by disqualification are Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart but since the win was by DQ, the World Titles stay with Conway Jr. and Whatley. The crowd erupts in anger as the champs scoop up their belts and run for the hills as debris rains down on them. The Movement and Sheik Adnan Al Kassie have quickly gone from hated to enemy #1 and 2 here in Canada. Bret Hart is rushed out of the arena with a towel covering his face as he needs serious medical attention. Promos for Monday’s show in the Corral Ed Whalen (back in the studio): Folks, this is usually the time Stu hart comes out and announces the card for the week’s big show but first, we have a video interview that was sent to us from Sheik Adnan Al Kassie. I will also add that the video tape was sent to us from a post-office in a small town outside of Vancouver as it seems like the Sheik is on the run and trying to stay away from Alberta authorities. Sheik Adnan Al Kassie: Hala Ed Whalen. Assalum Alaikum. Insha Allah Masha Allah. Ahlan Marhaba Wa Sahla. I know many of you in the Stampede Wrestling area want the Sheik to pay and all I ask is that you think about that for a minute. All I have done is to outsmart you…. All I have done is found a way to put down my enemies… to make sure that I continued to do what the Prince of Jordon asked… to rid Stampede Wrestling of its plaques of locust. Would you not do what was asked of you by your simple government. It is unfortunate but here in Stampede Wrestling, the sins of the father became the sins of the son. Bret Hart must pay for his father’s actions. Stu Hart may have had a vision for Stampede Wrestling but his vision was one of corruption. Corruption that may have cost his son the ability to ever see again but Stu Hart will have to live with that. I know the people of Canada can’t see it but I have taught Stu Hart the difference in right and wrong. I also know that I can not return to the area as my life is in jeopardy. Fear not, honorable Sgt. Slaughter…. Fear not, honorable ones Gamma Singh and Butch Moffit…. I am sending you help and that help will be in the tv studio next Sunday morning. Fans of Stampede Wrestling… be careful what you ask for people of Stampede Wrestling as this person, might be worse than me! When the video is over, we see Stu Hart just shaking his head. Stu Hart: Ehh, all I can say is that Stampede Wrestling is a better place today with the Sheik gone and if he ever does return to Alberta, Canada, the authorities will be ready for him. Let’s get to the big card this Monday night in Calgary. THE CORRAL: CALGARY: SEPTEMBER 29, 1984 Gamma Singh vs Ron Ritchie Jim Neidhart vs Butch Moffit Tito Santana’s First Interview Since his Injury AWA STAMPEDE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Sgt. Slaughter vs Jim Neidhart Stan Hansen vs Bad News Allen AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Ric Flair without Bobby Heenan vs Paul Orndorff Ed Whalen: Folks, make sure to get your tickets to the Corral in Calgary now as it is going to be one hot ticket with all two big titles matches. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling.

I like the way you are setting up Sam Houston for a little push and the matches with HTM look fun. Great interview with both here. Paul Jones Army with Orton vs Windham is another set of matches I am looking forward to. Iceman with the Movement is must see TV! Kamala is an awesome monster heel that could put some big names on the injured list if you need HAHAHAH..... Awesome I just love the Midnight Express. Can't wait to see Watts and Corny handcuffed together

Great job advancing one angle with Taylor and the Brigade and then adding a new one with the Freebirds!

September 28 A montage of wrestling and rodeo falls set to music introduces the show. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and North and South Dakota, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Rocky Mountain Wrestling, coming to you from the KCNS studios in Denver. VIDEO MATCH: April 28, 1979 International Title Match Agriculture Palace: Pueblo, Colorado DORY FUNK JR. vs DICK MURDOCH We see the last three minutes or so of this match where Dory Funk Jr. wins the title with the Spinning Toe Hold and the crowd goes wild! From peak to peak and valley to valley we welcome you to Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling. I am Cowboy Bob Tallman and we are coming to you tonight from the KCNS studios in Denver. Well folks, you might ask why we just saw a match from 5 years ago from the now defunct wrestling promotion, Western States Wrestling. The reason is simple. I am so lucky to have with me tonight, the winner of that match, one of the most popular wrestlers ever to exist in this part of the country… the living legend…. The former World Champion…. Dory Funk Jr. I am delighted to announce that Dory will be my co-host over the next few weeks. Before you ask what happened to the Lawman, Don Slatton, let me put you at ease and let you know Don is fine but because this feud between Ernie Ladd and Blackjack Mulligan has reached historical measures, Don must spend more time performing his duties as President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling to ensure that there is some sort of order around here. Well Dory, welcome to Rocky Mountain Wrestling. Dory Funk Jr.: Thank you for all those kind words and I can’t tell you how great it is to be back here in my old stomping grounds around Colorado and New Mexico. I can’t wait to see the fans that have supported me and my family for all these years. This is Funk Country and it is going to be a wild ride. Cowboy Bob: Will that wild ride include you getting into the ring here in Rocky Mountain Wrestling? Dory Funk Jr.: Wrestling is my life Bob. I am a wrestler. I might be a commentator right now but that could all change in just a few minutes. Right now it looks like one of my old enemies has seen the light and come to the correct side of the law and needs some help. I never thought I would say this, but I will there if Blackjack Mulligan’s needs some help. Cowboy Bob: Awesome news Dory. Well last Monday night down in Denver we were blessed to see one of the best wrestling cards ever. Tonight, we will be bringing you some highlights form that great card including some post-match interviews. Eric Embry defeats Taras Bulba after a blood-filled match with the Piledriver Eric Embry gives a heart-filled interview how he is willing to do his part to put down the members of Ernie Ladd’s Army and Taras Bulba was just the first step Promos for Monday’s show at the Albuquerque Auditorium Ox Baker vs Sonny King This all started last week when Sonny King called out Ox Baker and said that his Bolo Punch is just as devastating as Ox’s Heart Punch and after some serious words were exchanged, this match was set. We pick it up where both wrestlers are on the outside on the ring and Ox has King pinned up against the steel barricade. He winds up for the Heart Punch with those huge taped fists. Somehow King escapes and Ox misses and falls off balance. WHAM… Bolo Punch by King and Ox goes down. Sonny King climbs up on the apron and back into the ring as the ref completes the 10 count and Sonny is the winner. With Sonny already in the locker room, we hear from Ox to find out what happened to the mighty Heart Punch! Ox Baker: Everybody gets lucky once…. Sonny King…. If you dare to get in the ring with me next Monday… I promise you that you will be lucky to survive. The first two men I killed in the ring were by accident but you… different story! A little later Dory catches up with Sonny King who gladly accepts the challenge for next week as he feels that he can’t be beat! The Iron Sheik & Nicolai Volkoff vs Mike George & Ron Ritchie Again the foreign menaces put on a pre-match show that gets the ire of the fans. Volkoff comes waving the Russian flag and asks everyone to stand while he sings the anthem of Mother Russia while the Sheik is carrying these two huge clubs, which he called the Persian clubs, and he starts to show off his power by swinging them above his head. When the crowd boos, he rambles something about America and the spits on the floor. As for the match… George and Ritchie do a nice job of bumping and selling as it is there job to make Volkoff and Sheik look unbeatable. The end sees Ritchie submit to the backbreaker by Volkoff who then throws him away like a rag doll. The post-match interview again has the Iron Sheik and Volkoff saying they want a match with the Rocky Mountain tag champs Atlas and Sweet Brown Sugar. The Sheik also continues to say that Atlas has all those muscles just for show as there is no way he could swing the Persian Clubs like the Iron Sheik. Promos for the Albuquerque Auditorium Chris Adams vs Mike VonErich Adams has vowed to take out all of his hatred for the VonErich family here tonight on young Mikey. The problem might just be that there is a wild card in the arena tonight as the camera picks up Kevin VonErich sitting in the audience tonight. Mike VonErich gives it a go here but is just too green to holdoff Adams for too long. WHAM…. Superkick by Adams and VonErich is down. As Chris goes to cover Mike he catches a glimpse of Kevin in the stands and an evil grin comes across his face. He lifts Mike up by the hair at the count of 2. WHAM…. Superkick # 2 and Adams props VonErich into the corner and points to Kevin. WHAM… Superkick #3. The crowd begins to stir as it fears for long term damage to the youngster but the groan quickly turns to a roar as Kevin has jumped the barricade and is in the ring and is throwing rapid fire punches to Adams who is able to fall down and roll through the ropes and head for the hills. As Kevin calls for the stretcher Dory Funk is able to get a word with him. Kevin: Dory… you know this is uncalled for. Just like the Funks, the VonErichs are one of the biggest names in wrestling and tonight… someone who we bent over backwards for showed his true colors and hurt my younger brother for no reason. I want him in the ring next week in Albuquerque and then we will see who we are calling the stretcher for. Later on we here from Chris Adams: Chris Adams: Booo Whoooo Whooo. Kevin Von Erich is upset that his brother lost a wrestling match. Dory Funk Jr. I think he was upset at the way you caused unnecessary suffering on Mike after the match was obviously over. Chris Adams: This is wrestling…. Not ping pong… even though Mikey’s head went back and forth like a ping pong ball after each Superkick. If he didn’t want Mikey to get hurt, teach him better. I hear Kevin wants a match with me next week in Albuquerque…. No problem. It will be my pleasure to inflict pain on another of Fritz’s spoiled brats. Promos for the Albuquerque Auditorium AWA WORLD TAG TITLE: INSIDE A STEEL CAGE! The Movement vs Tony Atlas & Sweet Brown Sugar Your typical violent cage match with all the blood and gore. Once again, for the second week in a row, we see Atlas and Sugar getting the best of the champs and the crowd thinks they are about to see the titles change hands. That is until Nicloai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik head to the ring. The fans hope the Sheik and Volkoff won’t be able to do much as they will be outside the steel cage. Sheik and Volkoff are each carrying on of those Persian clubs and they start to beat on the lock of the steel cage. BAM! The lock breaks and the foreign menaces enter the ring. WHAM… Sheik hits Atlas in the abdominals while Volkoff hits sugar in the ribs. While this is going on, the Movement scampers out of the ring for the cheap win. The crowd is getting sick and tired of the Movement finding illegal ways to win matches. With Atlas and Sugar still on the knees form the blows by the Foreign Menaces, The Sheik grabs the house microphone and once again tells Tony Atlas all of his muscles are just for show and reminds him that it takes a real man to use the Persian Clubs. Somehow Atlas gets to his feet and you can here him challenging The Iron Sheik to any strength challenge he wants. The Sheik points to the clubs and gladly accepts. In the locker room, the Movement tells the Lawman that they will win “By Any Means Necessary” and then the ask him to give an envelope to the Iron Sheik and Volkoff. When Slatton asks what it is, they tell him to look for himself. Lawman Don: What else…. It is another check for the payoff tonight. The Lawman simply rips it up and immediately tells the Movement that they are being fined $1,000 for the lack of integrity they have shown when they are in Rocky Mountain Wrestling. The Movement shrug like they could care less and walk off. Promos for the Albuquerque Auditorium CAPTAIN’S TAG MATCH: CAPTAIN MUST BE DEFEATED TO WIN Captain Blackjack Mulligan, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Ragging Bull Manny Fernandez & Rufus “Freight Train Jones Vs Captain Ernie “Big Cat” Ladd, Grizzly Boone, “Crazy” Jos Leduc and Outlaw Ron Bass. The way to win this one is to make the Captain submit or to pin him. There are two different strategies going on here as Mulligan is taking his regular turns in the ring to try and defeat each member of the other side while Ernie Ladd is staying completely out of the mix to ensure that his team wins. The order of eliminations here are: Ron Bass pins Rufus Jones with the Ghordbuster Blackjack Mulligan submits Jos Leduc with the Iron Claw Many Fernandez defeats Ron Bass with the Flying Burrito Grizzly Boone defeats Dr. Death with the Giant Splash Grizzly Boone defeats Manny Fernandez with the Giant Splash Blackjack Mulligan defeats Grizzly Boone with repeated Elbow smashes followed by a big leg drop. And now we get to where we want…. Blackack vs Ernie Ladd. The problem is the Ladd is fresh and Mulligan has been worn out by all the action. Ladd takes the early advantage but somehow, maybe it was the image of Ladd beating on Kendall Windham last week, Mulligan makes the comeback. The two brawl in the center of the ring until Blackjack blocks Ladd’s right hand and then he whips him into the ropes. WHAM… Big Boot by Mulligan as the crowd goes wild as Mulligan used Ladd’s own move against him. Mulligan now slaps the Iron Claw on Ladd and eventually Ladd has his shoulders down for the three count! Mulligan has just won the Captain’s Match for his team and as Ernie Ladd struggles get to his feet, he starts to berate his team for failing to take care of Blackjack! To make Ladd even angrier, the ring announcer lets everyone in the stands know that Don Slatton has just signed a Rocky Mountain Heavyweight Title Match for the next card in Denver on October 19 between Ernie Ladd and Blackjack Mulligan MATCH CARD FOR MONDAY IN NEW MEXICO ROCKY MOUNTAIN PRO WRESTLING SEPTEMBER 30, 1984 ALBUQUERQUE AUDITORIUM Man Mountain Link vs Rufus Jones Johnny Rich vs Taras Bulba The Iron Sheik vs Tony Atlas in a Persian Club Contest Ron Bass & Black Bart vs Mike George & Eric Embry Dr. Death Steve Williams vs Jos Leduc Chris Adams vs Kevin Von Erich ROCKY MOUNTAIN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Ernie Ladd vs Manny Fernandez

Just loved every match and angle! I have been trying to take a page out of your book by building story lines mostly though matches and it makes it organized and fun Texas Red is Rookie of the Year!

Those house shows were awesome with so many angles going on from the title changes to JYD being attacked in a parking lot and the Kevin Kelly attack on Dusty. Your next TV show is going to crazy as everyone is going to a piece of somebody!! Would love to see more of Rich coming after the Butcher for revenge. Many of the people in Florida might have come to the event just to see Wildfire as he is rarely there and then his gets attacked by Butcher. The Floridians want more Wildfire now

Nice cards. The tag division is developing nicely. When the Thunderfoots are not good enough to win a midcard bout, you know the division is stacked.

I see big things for Curt Hennig! I admit I skeptical of the Movement as the tag champs but they have been awesome to write for and I love them here. Fabs have the potential to be the next champs... Should be an awesome match Awesome work developing that mid-card tag division I am really enjoying Mike Shaw here and Jumbo will be a huge test Nice main event and you have one more week to see if Dundee comes into the match with Lawler as a babyface or heel. I know which way I am leaning

Okay... you win! That can't be beat after a show like that. I wonder if Landel is truly done which at first I was upset with and then this Funk thing was just the best thing ever. Love it! Wonder if the Bob or the Bullet is suspended? Can't wait for the next show

Very nice and simple format. Great Ole promo Love how you are using Harley Race Hacksaw vs Saito is the one I am waiting for and Miss. Doll could be the deciding factor

All-Star sends Nikita Koloff and Wahoo McDaniel to Great Lakes for Iron Sheik and Hacksaw Duggan

Awesome show with some big debuts. Like Tugboat here. Surprised he didn't get the win. Thunderfoots add some depth to the tag division Could just picture Studd telling Lowrance "no further questions" as he covered the mic. Great job setting up a cool visual. An angry Bruiser is a bad thing but with Dr. D and Studd involved... nobody will be backing down. Tatum better be working hard for the next two weeks as Barry is waiting and he is one of the best. HTM with so guitar shot... love it

September 22, 1984 Music intro with a montage of all the stars of Stampede Wrestling past and present is shown. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Stampede Wrestling, coming to you from the CHCT Studios in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Ed Whalen: Hi everybody and away we go with another edition of Stampede Wrestling. I am Ed Whalen coming to you from the CHCT Studies in downtown Calgary. Today we will be showing some matches from last Monday in the Corral in Calgary and I promise you another ring-a ding-dong- dandy of a show so let’s not waste any time and get you right to the action. Ron Ritchie & Johnny Rich vs MX-1 & The Assassin (Kurt Von Hess in a mask) The two masked man are having their hands full with Ritchie and Rich who seem to love to mix up and the fans are loving it. All of a sudden, a third masked man with an identical mask to the Assassin comes down to the ring and starts to encourage MX-1 and the Assassin. While this does unnerve the babyfaces, they seem to overcome it and continue to take the fight to their opponents. Ritchie bodyslams the Assassin who rolls out of the ring to catch his breath. With get a quick switch-a-roo and the third masked man enters the ring and stuns Ritchie with a blow to the abdominals and the hits a suplex for the win. Johnny Rich was just a shade late on the save but he made sure no more damage was done. The fans were screaming to the ref about the shenanigans but to no avail as the ref couldn’t figure it out. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW WITH JIM DAVIES: Jim Davies: Well we all saw it…. Blatant breaking of the rules MX-1: I know…. I am getting sick and tired of people like Ron Ritchie and Johnny Rich breaking the rules with all of those illegal punches and kicks. Jim Davies: You know good and well that’s no what I am talking about. Assassin #1: That’s the problem … you are not talking about us …. The Assassins and MX-1 are the story but you focus on the likes of Ron Ritchie Assassin #2: Don’t worry…. Soon, we are all these morons up here in this disgusting country will be talking about! AWA WORLD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Brad Armstrong vs Ben Bassarab A nice 10- minute match where the fans of actual wrestling got exactly what they wanted. The match began and ended with a handshake and in the in between, we saw Armstrong hit the Russian Legsweep to retain the title. Ben Bassarab was with Jim Davies where he received a lot of credit for taking the champ to the limits and Ben only had great things to say about Armstrong. All of a sudden, MX-1, who Bassarab has been feuding with for the past few weeks, comes out. MX-1: You just proved what I have been saying all week… You didn’t deserve the shot with the AWA World Light Heavyweight Champion. I mean Brad No-Strong just wiped the floor with you. Jim Davies: Okay… enough of this. MX-1… if you wanted the title shot, you should have beat Ben last week. MX-1: Jim, I guess that fedora you are wearing is to tight. Weren’t you just here last segment when we said that people like Johnny Rich and Ron Ritchie cheat…. Well Ben is worse then all of them and that is the only reason he beat me. Well it won’t happen again. I promise you. WHAM… The Assassins rush out and attack Ben from behind. This 3-1 attack goes on until Johnny Rich and Ron Ritchie rush out to stop the heinous attack! Ed Whalen: Well I don’t know who these Assassins and MX-1 think they are. They have hijacked the beginning of our show and I hope someone yanks those stupid masks off those three so we can see who the criminals really are! Promos for Monday’s show in the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH: STREET FIGHT RULES Sgt. Slaughter, Gamma Singh & Butch Moffit with Sheik Adnan Al Kassie Vs Tito Santana, Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart Ed Whalen warns us that what we are about to see is very disturbing and might not be suitable to young viewers. As we pick up the action, we see that all hell has broken loose as Gamma and Moffit are fighting the Hart Foundation all over the building. The camera picks up Sheik Adnan Al Kassie soaking a towel in some liquid that we later find out is ether. Tito and Slaughter are battling in the ring as Tito catches Slaughter with a Flying Burrito. Santana goes to cover Sarge when the Sheik comes up behind Santana and basically smother him with the towel. The ref quickly calls for the bell but the damage has been done. Tito is out. The Sheik now pulls a rope out of his Arabian dress and puts it around Tito’s neck. He is basically choking someone who is already unconscious. He then hurdles Santana over the top rope but holds on to the other end and Santana is being hanged. The crowd is in shock and becoming unglued as they really think Tito could be killed. Somehow the Hart Foundation sees this and rushes to the ring to make the save as the Sheik and his men head for the hills thinking the damage has been done and that Tito will never again be a threat for Sgt. Slaughters Stampede Title. The Harts are screaming for medical attention. The tape is stopped. Ed Whalen: Folks, I told you it was disturbing. Sheik Adnan Al Kassie basically tried to take out Tito Santana who is still in the hospital. Let’s bring out Stu Hart who may have more information on all of this. Stu Hart: Well Ed…. You saw it. Sheik Adnan Al Kassie crossed the line. He went too far and his actions go way past wrestling and are actually criminal. I will tell you that we have turned the video tape over to the police in Edmonton and I hope they punish him to the full extent of the law. Also, because of how outrageous Sheik Adnan’s actions were, he has been fired from Stampede Wrestling. Ed Whalen: Fired…. Wow….Thank you Stu. That is exactly what he deserved, and I hope he winds up in prison. The Sheik has been a problem around here for a long time but never did I think he would go this far. Stu Hart: Again… disgusting actions… I will leave you with this… Tito is doing better and should be back released from the hospital soon and we hope he will be in studio next week. Promos for Monday’s show the Sales Pavilion AWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Bad News Allen & Stan Hansen vs The Movement As the match gets ready to start, we get a repeat of what we saw a few weeks ago down in Rocky Mountain Wrestling as Tiger Conway Jr. and Shaska Whatley try to convince Bad News Allen to forget the match tonight and join the Movement. Just like last time, they have a briefcase with $10,000 in it if Bad News Allen accepts the deal. To the excitement of the crowd, Allen gives his answer with action instead of words and attacks the Movement before the bell. Hansen and Bad News love this bonza-gonzo action and are all over Tiger and Shaska. No matter what the champs did, the challengers were just to big and powerful to be controlled. Total Domination! WHAM! Lariat by Hansen on Conway and he goes for the cover! WHAM! Enzuguiri kick by Bad News Allen on Hansen as he was pinning the champ. Bad News Allen drags Tiger on top of Hansen and the ref makes the 3 count! Shaska is jumping up and down with excitement as he hands the briefcase to Bad News Allen and the two give each other the Black Power sign as The Movement and Allen head towards the locker room. Ed Whalen: I can’t believe…. But I don’t know why I am surprised…. Bad News Allen has once again turned on the fans of Stampede Wrestling. The baddest man in Calgary has just done a very bad thing but this time… he may have to answer to Stan “the Man” Hansen! Stu Hart comes out and is fuming at the way this one ended and tells the Movement to hold on just a minute as they are almost to the curtain to go to the back. Stu Hart: You two might have been able to survive this week by paying off that gangster next to you but I hope you are ready for next week as I am sure your opponents can’t be bought and definitely won’t turn on each other. I know this because they are FAMILY! That’s right …. next week’s match in Edmonton…. will be the Movement vs The Hart Foundation for the AWA World Titles. As the crowd explodes, Stu adds one more thing…. “Also, to make sure that nobody interferes in that match… we need a referee who can control that ring… How about Stan Hansen… you want to be the special guest referee for the match!” Hansen who is still in the ring recovering gets a big smile on his face and slams his fist into his hand and smirks as he shakes his head yes. The Movement can’t believe this as Ed Whalen dares them to try some nonsense next week! POST-MATCH INTERVIEW WITH BAD NEWS ALLEN Jim Davies: Bad News… I just got to know… Why? Bad News Allen: Why? I told you all from day one…. I am here to do what I think is right. $10,000 sounded right to me! Helping the Movement sounded right to me. I got what I needed out of Hansen … I got Nikita Koloff out of here. Hansen he was a pawn…. A pawn in my master plan. Jim Davies: Well I bet he has some hard feelings… you two were about to be tag team champions of the world. Bad News Allen: There are bigger fish to fry then being Tag Champions. I am the best wrestler in the World and soon that World title will be mine. While I don’t sacrifice for much…. I will sacrifice for the Movement and don’t forget… for $10,000. Promos for Monday’s show in the Sales Pavilion AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase vs Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan We get everything you would expect from this one. Technical phases, dirty trickery phases and of course, some brawling mixed in. This match goes a good 40 minutes and it looks like Flair might finally become the AWA World champ as Dibiase is in a world of hurt. All of a sudden, Paul Orndorff comes down to ringside. It was just last week that Orndorff hit both Bobby Heenan and Flair with a big chair shots so Heenan starts frantically waving at the Nature Boy who heads over to the ropes and starts jawing with Orndorff. WHAM…. Dibiase with a forearm smash to the back of the head of the Nature Boy. WHAM… Dibiase Irish Whips Flair and then connects with a big side slam 1… 2… 3. Dibiase with the win and Orndorff just turns and walks away. Post-Match Interviews with Jim Davies: Ric Flair: Orndorff… You have just crossed the line. I mean you went waaaayyyy over the line. You just caused the Nature Boy the World Title. You better have eyes in the back of your head. Bobby Heenan: You all saw it… Ric Flair had Ted Dibiase beat and then that no good Paul Orndorff struts out and interferes in the match! Jim Davies: Ummm… Orndorff didn’t do anything… you were the only one to interfere in that match tonight! Bobby Heenan gives Davies the look of death and continues. Bobby Heean: It is pure jealousy…. Orndorff couldn’t stand that Ric Flair was the main man in the Heenan Family. He couldn’t stand that the Nature Boy was the North American Champion so he turns Benedict Arnold… oh yeah… we are in Canada where all you stupid humanoids don’t know about Benedict Arnold. Orndorff turned traitor and attacks both Flai and I. Well nobody… and I mean nobody…. Messes with the Heenan Family. Jim Davies: Ummm, Ric Flair is the only person you are managing. So is it really a family? Another look of death from Heenan and then we finally get what we want…. The Challenge…. Both Heenan and Flair are so mad that they grant Orndorff a AWA North American Title shot next week in Edmonton just for a shot at revenge. Promos for Monday’s show in the Sales Pavilion THE SALES PAVILION: EDMONTON: SEPTEMBER 22, 1984 Gamma Singh vs Verlon Biggs The Assassins vs Johnny Rich & Ron Ritchie MX-1 vs Ben Bassarab AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan vs Paul Orndorff AWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Hart Foundation vs The Movement with Special Referee, Stan Hansen Ed Whalen: Folks, make sure to get your tickets to the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton now as it is going to be one hot ticket with all two big titles matches.

All-Star has the British Bulldogs on the block

September 21 A montage of wrestling and rodeo falls set to music introduces the show. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and North and South Dakota, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Rocky Mountain Wrestling, coming to you from the KCNS studios in Denver. From peak to peak and valley to valley we welcome you Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling. I am Cowboy Bob Tallman and we are coming to you tonight from the KCNS studios in Denver. With me tonight is the President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling, the Lawman, Don Slatton. Don, …. Things they are a changing here in Rocky Mountain Wrestling. Ernie Ladd and his Army have been running roughshod over things for a while here… that is until last week. Lawman Don: That’s right Cowboy, it seems Blackjack Mulligan has some pretty tough friends and he made a few phone calls and they came a running. Rufus “Freight Train” Jones, Dr. Death Steve Williams and the Ragging Bull Many Fernandez have all come in to join Mulligan to take on Ladd and his goons and this is going to be a war long remembered in these parts! Mulligan and his friends come out and are excited about what they are going to do to Ernie Ladd as we find out that the main event this Monday Night in the Denver Auditorium, is going to be an 8 Man Captain’s Tag Match where the winning team will have to defeat the others teams Captain. Blackjack will captain a team with Rufus, Dr. Death and Manny will Ladd will captain his team of Grizzly Boone, Ron Bass and Jos Leduc! Black Bart defeated Mike George with the Leg Drop This is the first match in Rocky Mountain wrestling for both wrestlers and for the first few minutes we had an even match. Both have some experience as champions in other promotions and they put on a good show for the fans. Bart and his Black cowboy hat, tobacco spewing mouth, long black coat and evil looks gets him some heat right away and George gets some love just by the fact that he is able to put the big cowboy to the mat with some technical moves. The problem for Mike George is that nobody knew until Ron Bass showed up that Black Bart was the newest member of the Ernie Ladd Army and with a few dirty tactics from Bass, Bart gets the win. Ernie Ladd and Bass join Bart at the post-match interview: Ron Bass: Ernie Ladd…. You talked about the Army needing winners… well Black Bart is a winner. A few weeks ago we had to get rid of Eric Embry as he was the loser who cost me the Rocky Mountain Tag Titles. Well me and Black Bart have teamed all across this land and all we do is win…. I should say the two things we do is win and …. Hurt people! Tony Atlas and Sweet Brown Sugar… your days as champ are numbered. Ernie Ladd: I have been asked …. When is enough, enough? When is your Army going to be big enough… when are you going to stop adding wrestlers to the Army? My answer is simple…. When people stop trying to keep Ernie Ladd from getting what he deserves. I am the best wrestler here… I am the best wrestler in the World. Just ask that stupid drunken injun Wahoo McDaniel… that is if you can find him. Just ask that big dummy…. Andre the Giant whose leg I broke… Ask anyone and they will say the Big Cat is the best. That is anyone not named Blackjack Mulligan. He thinks he can contain me. He thinks he can stop me. So, what does he do …. He calls in re-enforcements like Rufus Jones… like Dr. Death Steve Williams… like Manny Fernandez… like Tony Atlas … and what happens …. he is praised! He attacks my Army three times last week … Does the Lawman threaten fines… NO! Suspend them… NO…. but as soon as my Army is successful …. We are called all kind of names. So, from now on…. My Army will fight fire with fire. Mulligan adds soldiers… I add soldiers like Black Bart. Mulligan sucker punches my men…. We Pearl Harbor his. Be on the lookout tonight. I feel like getting even. And as for Monday…. Mulligan… or should I say Captain Mulligan… By Any Means Necessary, You Are Going Down! Promos for Monday’s show at the Albuquerque Auditorium Before our next match, the Rocky Mountain Tag team champs, Tony Atlas and Sweet Brown Sugar are out to hype their World title shot on Monaday against the Movement which will be inside a Steel Cage! Tony Atlas: Pez Whatley Lawman Don: Don’t you mean Shaska Whatley? Tony Atlas: All I know is his Mama named his Pez so that is what I will call him. Pez….and Tiger Conway Jr…. last time we met in the ring, you tried to bribe Sugar and me not to whoop you and take those titles. When that didn’t work, you paid Jos Leduc and Ernie Ladd $10,000 to attack us from behind. Sweet Brown Sugar: This time… there will be no place to hid and nobody to pay off as we got you two in a steel cage and it is going to feel so good to see you flat on your backs as we leave with the titles in hand! Sonny King defeats Steve Dean with the Bolo Punch Sonny King: Each week I come out here and I listen to Ox Baker talk about his Heart Punch and how he has no competition here in Rocky Mountain Wrestling…. Well that is because he has not stepped in the ring with me and my Bolo Punch…. The crowd groans as Ox comes out to the booth and the Cowboy begs for peace! Ox Baker: Don’t worry Cowboy Bob…. I’m not going to doing anything right now. It fact, I can’t. If you have noticed, its been months sense I have wrestled in studio! That’s because the Lawman standing right next to you has banned me from wrestling on TV…. You may say you have seen me but that was only on video tape from pre-recorded videos. Lawman Don has to make sure nobody dies on live TV. That’s right … this Heart Punch has killed two men and Rocky Mountain Wrestling wants to make sure not to scar any of the little kids out there in TV land by having them watch some jobber get murdered! But make no mistake about… I got a contract and they can’t stop me from wrestling in house shows! Sonny King …. bring you little Bolo Punch to Denver on Monday and it will be the last match you ever wrestle! I have had no competition of late because people are smart enough to get in the ring with me. Sonny King…. You and I go way back… all the way to the early days in Memphis… it’s too bad that you won’t be around next week. Ox simply walks off and you can almost see the fear in Sonny King as he wonders what he has done. Chris Adams beats Derrick James with the Superkick! Chris Adams: Finally, little Mikey VonErich has found some guts. He is finally going to step into the ring with me on Monday night. I am so looking forward to Super Kicking his lights out. I just keep thinking back to my days in Texas when each week Fritz would ask me to watch the back of either Kevin or Kerry as they got another title shot and each week, like a fool, I would rush out and save their arse as Fritz paid me peanuts. Well, after my foot hits Mikey’s jaw on Monday, peanut butter might be all he can eat. Promos for the Albuquerque Auditorium Johnny Rich vs Man Mountain Link Johnny Rich keeps finding himself involved in these brawls against some pretty big guys. Last week was Taras Bulba and this week he is there against the 300+ pound Link but it seems to be what Rich enjoys. This match goes a good 7 minutes and Rich uses his speed to keep Link off balance and we get a few minutes of arm drags and head scissors. After that is a brawl and in the end Rich surprises Link with Russian Leg Sweep for the win. Link is fuming and demands a rematch which Johnny Rich is more them willing to oblige and the fans in Albuquerque will be in for another brawl Monday night. The Iron Sheik & Nicolai Volkoff defeats Larry Bigly & Tony Monte The foreign menaces are not new to wrestling but they are new to Rocky Mountain Wrestling, so they really do a good job of bringing in the heat. Volkoff comes waving the Russian flag and asks everyone to stand while he sings the national anthem of Mother Russia while the Sheik is carrying these two huge clubs, which he called the Persian clubs, and he starts to show off his power by swinging them above his head. When the crowd boos, he rambles something about America and the spits on the floor. As for the match… 100% domination with the end coming when Sheik catches Monte in the Camel Clutch. At the post-match interview both the Iron Sheik and Volkoff say they are here for only one reason… to take the Rocky Mountain Tag titles from Atlas and Sweet Brown Sugar as they are just like the rest of Americans… weak and disgusting. Sheik explains that Tony Atlas may have a lot of muscles, but they are useless muscles as there is no way he could swing the Persian Clubs like the Iron Sheik and Volkoff can’t wait for Sweet Brown Sugar to leap at him at him with one of his dropkicks so he can swat him away like a little bug and crush him! Cowboy Bob is put off by these foreign invaders but is also concerned the Rocky Mountain champs are about to have their hands full. Promos for the Albuquerque Auditorium Kendall Windham defeats Rudy Cheatem with the Running Bulldog The problem here is that as soon as the match was over, Ernie Ladd and his entire army (Grizzly Boone, Jos Leduc, Taras Bulba, Ron Bass & Black Bart) head to the ring. Ladd enters the ring while the rest of the Army stands guard. The 6’9, Ladd basically dismantles the young 16-year old Windham who is left a bloody mess. Blackjack Mulligan and his teammates in the Captains match rush the ring but the numbers game is against them and it takes a few minutes for them to be able to get to the ring. When the chaos is over, Windham needs medically attention and you can just see that Blackjack is as mad as could be. Cowboy Bob: Well it seems like the emotions are going to be running real high this week down in Albuquerque. Rocky Mountain Champ, Ernie Ladd is doing everything he can to get under the skin of Mulligan and he may have just crossed the line with the damage he did to Mulligan’s kin! Cowboy Bob tries to get a word in with Blackjack Mulligan who is white hot! Blackjack Mulligan: AHHHHHHHH, Ladd… AHHHHHHH…… Ladd….. AHHHHHHH….. Monday Night! Cowboy Bob: Well folks as you can see, Blackjack Mulligan is too upset to talk but Monday in Albuquerque is going to be a wild night. You can bet on that so head on down to the Auditorium in Albuquerque and see Blackjack Mulligan go after Ernie Ladd in an historic Captain’s Match! ROCKY MOUNTAIN PRO WRESTLING SEPTEMBER 23, 1984 DENVER AUDITORIUM Eric Embry vs Taras Bulba Ox Baker vs Sonny King Johnny Rich vs Man Mountain Link The Iron Sheik & Nicolai Volkoff vs Mike George & Ron Ritchie Chris Adams vs Mike VonErich AWA WORLD TAG TITLE: INSIDE A STEEL CAGE!

With the addition of James J. Dillon, All-Star releases Gypsy Joe

AWESOME! Your tv show did such a great job of hyping up the show in Knoxville, I was looking for tickets and didn't care about the 10 hour car ride. How do you do it? You nail every interview. In the old project you had us all laughing with Eric Embry and now here between Landell and Funk... Love it! Like how you kept your midcard feuds going as KKB and One Man Gang would be an awesome show 7 days a week, and also the Sheepherders causing some chaos with the Armstrongs would be fun. Nice Mike Jackson get some run on a major show. I always thought he did a nice in-ring job. I had a feeling the Birds were gone... too bad... Freebirds in Alabama just seems right ... but so does the Stud Stable. The Bullet is flirting with danger! He better have eyes in the back of that mask like if he had the WWE 24/7 title as Landell is coming for blood... or maybe he is mad at Fuller for making the match in the first place.... To be continued

I was watching Mid-South from 1981-82 last night and it is amazing how many of their jobbers and young baby faces became stars and the biggest was Buddy Landel. I just love how he is the top heel in CCW as his work and promos are spot on.

When I saw the name Ratymus, I thought anything could happen. I know Lawler is getting ready for Dundee but I thought it could be from a hospital name. You have developed that guy, even as just a sidekick tonight with Putski, that I was afraid for Lawler. Nice way to keep the stars for night of champions hot as Lawler, Dundee, and the Fab Ones get wins while Adonis/Murdoch vs the Kansas Jayhawks just continue their brawling ways

Great first show! What a way to kick it off with Magnum winning the title! Liked Andre making the save. Cool interview from the Body...Fun World title match up for the TV fans! Nice use of the Moondogs! Poor Rocky couldn't get the tag

And Tully vs Curt is underway... can't wait for more! Idol is a great tv champ as his promo skills were awesome! Murdoch/Adonis vs The Kansas Jayhawks just seems like the type of feud that would sell tickets for ever as you know you are always in for a wild show. Putski and the Assassins do a number of the Polynesian Power. I wonder if there is revenge in the future or if Putski and his partners are moving up the ladder? Either one is awesome Jumbo is doing a nice job of getting extra heat as Gene Anderson is doing some real dirty work in his new role as manager! Shaw is a big man to get angry... we will have to wait and see. Looking forward to the TNT Night of Champions

Really funny... In next week's show I had Ladd's Army attacking Kendall Windham in the parking lot to anger Blackjack Mulligan but you beat me to the punch. I will need to rewrite that segment as you just outdid me for sure. Great interview with Dr.D as he becomes the Lone Wolf of World Class Very creative ending to the Steamboat/Worldclass match. I have used the person rolling out from under the ring like Wildfire Tommy Rich did to help Idol beat Lawler in Memphis but never someone come right through the middle of the ring! Poor Ricky... tough way to go!

September 8, 1984 Music intro with a montage of all the stars of Stampede Wrestling past and present is shown. Broadcasting to our local affiliates in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Stampede Wrestling, coming to you from the CHCT Studios in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Ed Whalen: Hi everybody and away we go with another edition of Stampede Wrestling. I am Ed Whalen coming to you from the CHCT Studies in downtown Calgary. Today we will be showing some matches from last Monday in the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton and I promise you another ring-a ding-dong- dandy of a show so let’s not waste any time and get you right to the action. Paul Orndorff with Bobby Heenan vs Ric McCord McCord puts up a good fight but Orndorff gets the win with Piledriver. Orndorff and Heenan seemed to be struggling to get on the same page and Orndorff walked out on the post-match interview and Heenan was left to answer questions which he simply didn’t have answers to. Bobby Heenan: Alright… Listen up all you humanoids …. I am Paul Orndorff’s manager and he is part of the Heenan Family! Nothing has changed…. Nor will it! Tito Santana vs Ciclon Negro Tito continues to look good as the newcomer to Stampede as he overcomes the tough Ciclon Negro. Tito is more then willing to throw down with Negro and finishes him off with his Flying Burrito. In the post-match interview, Jim Davies lets everyone know that if Tito continues to win, he will be in title contention very soon. Tito seems excited and would love to get his hands on Sgt Slaughter for a chance at that Stampede Title! Ariba! WHAM…. Long-time Stampede heel, Butch Moffit has returned and is followed by Sheik Skandar Akbar and the two beat on Santana until they are run off by the British Bulldogs! Ed Whalen: Once again…. More disgusting actions by the Sheik. It seems like he has added the Outlaw Butch Moffit to his stable of goons and they have set their sights on making sure Tito Santana can’t get his hands on Sgt. Slaughter and the Stampede title. Sheik Adnan Al Kassie joins Ed Whalen in the studio in Calgary where he explains that the world famous Mr. Pogo has commitments that will take him all around the globe and will not be back for some time but not to fear as Butch Moffit is back and has joined the Sheiks army which will continue to rid Stampede of all the plagues that surround it like Tito Santana and the British Bulldogs! Promos for Monday’s show at the Corral in Calgary Ben Bassarab vs MX-1: Winner Gets an AWA World Light Weight Title Match This Monday in Calgary These two have been going at it for a few weeks and tonight the stakes are a bit higher. Both can really wrestle and we get a nice beginning with a lot of chain wrestling. With Bassarab one step ahead, MX-1 tries to take this match to the gutter with a low blow Ben recovers and eventually hits the flying crossbody block for the win. At the post-match interviews, Bassarab is excited to get a shot at Brad Armstrong while MX-1 vows revenge and says that Bassarab was cheating as he grabbed the tights during the pin. Promos for Monday’s show the Corral STAMPEDE TITLE MATCH: Sgt. Slaughter with Sheik Adnan vs Jim Neidhart Slaughter is a site to behold as he is waving the flag of Jordan as he coms to the ring and the fans are irate. Neidhart rushes to the ring and attacks before the bell. He is able to surprise Slaughter and then takes the Jordanian flag and throws it on the ground! The Sheik is fuming and picks it up and starts to beat Neidhart with the flag pole. Gamma Singh and Butch Moffit hit the ring and it is a 4-1 attack of the beloved Canadian who is a bloody mess. The crowd erupted as Tito Santana and the Bulldogs hit the ring and we get a wild brawl that eventually sees the fan favorites in control even though they were at 4-3 disadvantage. Sheik and his men are doing a great job of bringing in the heat while Tito’s popularity continues to grow mainly because of Tito’s recent actions of fighting the hated Sheik and his men at every turn. Even though we never got a title match tonight, the crowd was really amped up. Promos for Monday’s show in the Corral WINNER GETS AN AWA TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH ON MONDAY The British Bulldogs vs Stan Hansen & Bad News Allen This was to be a 4 team elimination match but the rumor is, the Road Warriors, frustrated that they have not received a return match for the AWA tag titles with the Movement have headed to Worldwide Wrestling in hopes that the bigger venues will get them more attention. Also, Dr. Death and Manny Fernandez have headed south to Rocky Mountain Wrestling in an attempt to help build the upstart company. Rumor has it, that the ultimate goal would be to have Stampede and Rocky Mountain Wrestling combine in some fashion, but Stu Hart wants to make sure of one thing…. That this will make money. So many of the fans are upset that their dream match has been taken away but they still got a real treat. The Bulldogs didn’t have to sell much here as Hansen and Allen seemed to be causing some actual damage to Davey Boy and Dynamite Kid. The Bulldogs fought a great fight, but in the end, Hansen hit the lariat on Davey Boy for the win. POST-MATCH INTERVIEW: Hansen and Allen don’t mix any words as they don’t care who the run over. They had nothing personal against the Bulldogs but that didn’t mean they were going to take it easy. Both are confident they can beat the Movement for the AWA World titles and it seems like interviewer Jim Davies thinks so to. Promos for Monday’s show in the Corral AWA NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: WINNER GETS AWA WORLD TITLE SHOT ON MONDAY Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan vs Bret Hart No need to discuss anything but the finish here as with these two, you already know it is going to be a classic. With the ref down after Flair shoved Bret Hart into him, Bobby Heenan signals to the back and we see Paul Orndorff strutting to the ring. Orndorff grabs a chair and jumps up on the apron as Flair hooks Hart from behind. Ed Whalen is screaming about how disgusting the Heenan Family is and how they will do anything to win. How is Brett going to deal with this situation? Orndorff looks at Flair who is screaming at him to hit Hart with the chair! Heenan is screaming at Mr. Wonderful to break his neck. Interesting comments from a man still in a neck brace from being beaten by the Road Warriors a few weeks back! Orndorff winds up and swings the chair…. WHAM! Ed Whalen: Oh my God! Orndorff leaps off the apron and absolutely crushes Bobby Heenan with the chair and he crumbles to the ground. Flair looks on in shock as Orndorff hits the ring with the chair in tow! WHAM! Orndorff nails Flair with the chair…. Bret Hart looks on in confusion but is not one to look a gift horse in the mouth so he covers Flair. Orndorff goes and helps the ref who then makes the three count! Ed Whalen can’t believe what he just saw as Bret Hart is once again the North American Champion! As the crowd explodes, they see, Stampede Wrestling’s Senior Official, Gene Kiniski, coming to the ring with the title that Ed Whalen says will be presented to Bret Hart. Gene Kiniski: What a match! What a North American Title Match. Both Bret and Ric gave it their all…. And as much as it pains me… I am the Senior Official of Stampede Wrestling…. And I …. Uhhh. Can’t let the title change hands after what we just say. Due to the interference by Paul Orndorff on Ric Flair…. I reverse the decision and award the victory to Ric Flair. The crowd is fuming and so is Bret but Flair has that arrogant smirk on his face. POST MATCH INTERVIEW: Jim Davies is with Paul Orndorff and demands to know what the hell he just saw! Paul Orndorff: I am Mr. Wonderful….I am a star in this sport… Last week you all heard my so-called manager…. Bobby Heenan…. Say that his number one priority was to help Ric Flair get the AWA title. When I signed on with Heean and his Family, he promised me that I was his main focus…. Well actions speak louder than words! Heenan, if I did not break your neck tonight…. Don’t worry… I will soon. As for Ric “Nature Boy” Flair… I am going to show you why Heenan was wrong…. Cause when I beat you to within an inch of your life…. He will realize he backed the wrong horse. Back in studio, Stu Hart doesn’t want to talk about Gene Kiniski and how he reversed the ref’s decision to give his son the North American title and simply announces Monday’s night card in the Corral. THE CORRAL: CALGARY: SEPTEMBER 15, 1984 Ric McCord vs Gypsy Joe Ron Ritchie & Johnny Rich vs MX-1 & The Assassin AWA WORLD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Brad Armstrong vs Ben Bassarab 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH: STREET FIGHT RULES Sgt.
