Nice set of house shows. Each night the crowd went home happy as the babyfaces get the big wins

It doesn't matter if you write a condensed version or a full novel.... each week is truly awesome. The main event was so well set up and it delivered perfectly. I like CCW even better now that the Fullers are playing a bigger role and the interviews with Landell, RPG and Platt continue to crack me up!

Love the format from the TV show. It keeps you updated on all the current and new angles in a nice compact summary. The card at the Omni was great. Martel needs a top partner to help with the Andersons Butch Reed was on fire with quick work of Tojo We will need to keep an eye on Race as the second ref. I know he is upset with Patera and Blackwell but Dibiase does have HIS title

All-Star still has the Road Warriors on the block who are set to drop the titles on 8/25. Also on could be Curt Hennig, Nicolai Volkoff, Hillbilly Jim and Ric McCord

Big things coming up in World Class. Like the Southwestern title coming in at the Texas Roundup. Like the Islanders and Cornette better be on his game or the Express could be in trouble. Windham has some guts for being so young as he helped Powers and Savoldi get a nice win. I could just see the crying that Tatum would have been doing. Hollywood is a GREAT midcarder who could do a bit of everything from being pretty good in the ring to being awesome. with his antics and microphone skills To me, Eaton is an all-time great but what made the MNE one of the best ever was Cornette and you have him down perfectly! Nice segment from the department store... I wonder who could the man with the sideburns be? lol The Movement is doing great but they better hope the Road Warriors didn't see how the match ended! Also, not so sure if Tiger would get out of the arena calling the fans White Devils... especially down in Texas in 1984.... the Men in the White Sheets would be waiting! AWESOME MAIN EVENT. I wish I saw more of Mr. Olympia in real life

Mid-South Coliseum.... Lawler vs Funk.... as good as it gets in Memphis.... Well then you throw in Dibiase vs Tully..... and now I am not sure which match is the Main Event The tag division is stacked. I must say Polynesian Power is one of my favorites but Murdoch and Adonis will be tough to beat in the tournament I always remember Putski as a babyface but he is an excellent TNT heel and Ratymus and his ability to create chaos could put him over the top but Tito is going to have something to do with that. Great use of Mr. Wrestling II. In real life he just went away as a jobber but here he has a major role and I just see him as a great heel manager Jumbo well be double tough with Anderson at his side. This gives you so many possibilities at the top of your card.

August 17 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 the Dakatos, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Rocky Mountain Wrestling, coming to you from the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo. 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 Colorado State fairgrounds in Pueblo, Colorado. With me tonight is the President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling, the Lawman, Don Slatton. Don, what a show they had last Monday at the Auditorium in Albuquerque and let’s get right to some of those highlights. VIDEO MATCH: CAPTURE THE FLAG MATCH The Mountain Men (Rex & Link) vs The Super Samoans (Sakalia & Superfly Tui) This is the 3rd installment of the best of 5 series to become the #1 contenders to the tag team title. Sakalia and Tui choose well in picking the stipulation for this match as no matter what the Mountain Men did, they were unable to climb that pole to capture the flag and eventually the momentum changed and we saw Superfly Tui scamper up the pole for the victory. This gives the Samoans a 2-1 advantage and in the post-match interview we here the next match in this series will be a Texas Tornado Match with all 4 men in the ring at the same time. VIDEO HIGHLIIGHTS: 6 Man Tag Match Wahoo McDaniel,Tony Atlas, Chris Adams and Blackjack Mulligan vs Ernie Ladd, Grizzly Boone, Ron Bass & Eric Embry All we really see here is the ending where Ernie Ladd catches Wahoo McDaniel with a Big Boot as the heels get the win as the others were brawling all over the arena. Cowboy Bob: Well Don, it looks like what Ernie Ladd preaches is coming true. Don Slatton: Ernie Ladd claims he is the General of his own Army and now that he is in charge, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the Rocky Mountain Champion and Cowboy Bob: Oh no, here he comes. Ernie Ladd (with his security enforcer Grizzly Boone): I told you a few weeks ago …that Snake juice drinking drunk can’t beat me and I proved it this past Monday as I stuck my size 18 foot right in the mush of that stupid injun and down he went. It was the fastest any of those Redmen went down since the U.S. Army loaded up those blankets with small pox. Lawman Don: Alright… that is enough of that! Ernie Ladd: I tell you when it is enough and it is not enough until you stop giving Wahoo all the wampum as the champion and give me a title shot. I am the man around here and the man should be wearing a belt! The crowd erupts as Wahoo comes out. Wahoo McDaniel: Ernie Ladd… the big Cat… well you look like the cat that just ate the mouse. Somehow that video we just saw left out the part where you loaded up that boot before you kicked me. Ernie is laughing like Wahoo is nuts at even the thought that Ladd would need to cheat to beat someone like Wahoo. Wahoo McDaniel: Keep laughing but all I know is that the truth eventually comes out and I know the fans around here already know what type of low life you are but soon, those people you call your army will see that you are just using them, even this 8th grade dropout (he points at Grizzly Boone) will soon figure you out. Boone starts to come at Wahoo but Ladd stops him and reminds Lawman Don Slatton that the ref counted Wahoo’s shoulders on the mat for a count of three and since he beat the champ, he deserves a title match. Before, Slatton even answers, Wahoo tells Lad that he will defend his Rocky Mountain title against Ladd anytime and anyplace which we find out a little later will be this Monday in Denver. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Denver Auditorium Show repeated around Colorado during the week (Boulder, Pueblo, Ft. Collins, Grand Junction) MATCH: Chris Adams & Mike VonErich defeat Luke Aduda & Cal Mustard At the interview desk, Adams and Mike VonErich hype up their return tag title shot against the Outlaws (Bass & Embry) this week in Denver. There is a quick rehash of their last shot when Grizzly Boone attacked VonErich on the way to the ring and they are sure that won’t happen this time as Blackjack Mulligan is going to take care of him earlier in the night in a First Blood Match. MATCH: Hillbilly Jim defeats Mike Lownd with the Bearhug Some quick fun interaction with the crowd and a fun interview keeps Hillbilly Jim in the hearts and minds of the fans as Blackjack Mulligan (the real man behind the scene in Rocky Mountain Wrestling) decides what to do with him… sorry for the little Kayfabe break) COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Denver Auditorium MATCH: Verlon Biggs defeats Ciclon Negro…. Sort of! Negro was in charge and locked in the Camel Clutch and Biggs quickly tapped out. The only problem was that Biggs was being made an example of here by Negro who refused to release the hold. This went on for a minute or two until the ref had no choice but to reverse his decision. This still didn’t do anything as Negro continued to really arch back and pull Biggs with that Camel Clutch. This brings Sweet Brown Sugar to the ring who still has some unfinished business with Negro who Pearl Harbored him a few weeks ago. Sugar quickly rushes the ring and lands a perfectly executed sliding dropkick into the face of Negro who rolls out of the ring and heads to the locker room. Before we get to our next match Ron Bass & Eric Embry are at the interview desk Ron Bass: So little Mikey VonErich thinks the attack on him by Grizzly Boone was vicious… he thinks it was uncalled for. He thinks that he would have won the Rocky Mountain tag title from Eric and myself. He struts around here like a little peacock. Well, he is going to find out just how tough I am in Denver cause I aint afraid of anything that walks, I aint afraid of anything that flies, I aint afraid of anything that swims and most of all, I aint afraid of anything named VonErich and in Denver this bullrope in my hand is going to whip your spoiled behind! Eric Embry: I spent a lot of time down in Texas where nothing ever seems to be okay unless your last name is VonErich. Well, now it aint ever going to be okay between me and anyone named VonErich so I am coming for you Mikey and if stupid Chris Adams wants to walk with you… well then he won’t be walking for very long. We heard Mulligan is going to take care of Boone before the match starts…. WELL WHAT DO WE CARE! WE ARE TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS DURING OUR MATCH! MATCH: Tony Atlas defeats Joe McGrath with the Military Press Slam As Atlas is celebrating with the fans, Jos Leduc comes up from behind and clobbers Atlas with a chair. Leduc has been acting like a Wildman of late and tonight is no different. This is a heinous attack as Leduc is trying to get back on the good side of Ernie Ladd and take out one of the toughest guys in the other locker room. The art of surprise plus the chair gave Leduc all he needed to win this violent exchange that comes to an end when Mulligan and Wahoo rush out to make the save as Leduc headed for higher ground. Blackjack Mulligan: I am getting pretty sick and tired of what has been going on around here lately and it all started with the arrival on Ernie Ladd. All of these attacks on good people like Sweet Brown Sugar and now Tony Atlas began when scum like Leduc and Grizzly Boone wanted to move up the ranks in Ladd’s so-called Army. Well come this week in Denver that Army is going to have some casualties. I am taking Boone out in a First Blood Match and trust me… he is going to be bleeding a long time and Wahoo is taking out the head of the Army … Ernie Ladd… and just like the snake he is… when you caught off this Armies head… it will DIE! By this time, a battered and bruised Atlas is also at the interview desk where he is fuming and wants a match with Leduc, which is granted by the Lawman, with Jos Leduc for this week in Denver. Blackjack Mulligan: Hey Lawman, since you seem to be in a good mood tonight, why don’t you give these fans what they want to see… A match between myself and anyone one of the goons from Ladd’s Army. The Lawman agrees and the fans erupt as we find out that this match will becoming right up after our next break. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Denver Auditorium MATCH: Blackjack Mulligan vs ? With Mulligan already in the ring, we see Ladd, for the second straight week pushing Sonny King out from behind the curtain to do the dirty work of his Army. The interesting thing here was that as soon as Sonny King got in the ring, all of Blackjack’s buddies; Wahoo, Atlas, Hillbilly Jim, Chris Adams, Mike VonErich, and Sweet Brown Sugar came out and surrounded the ring to make sure Ladd’s Army couldn’t interfere. As for the match, Sonny King is no slouch but an angry Mulligan is not something to mess with and BJ was all over King. The end came when Mulligan locked in the Iron Claw and down went King. After a short time, we see the blood start to trickle from the side of King’s head. Ladd’s Army comes out but doesn’t attack as they see Mulligan’s friends are ready for a fight. Instead Ladd’s Army just watches the blood flow from King’s head. Eventually with get that giant X across the screen to censor it from the viewers. Cowboy Bob Tallman: Well folks, tonight’s wild rodeo has come to a close. See you next time on AWA Rocky Mountain All-Star Wrestling. So long from Pueblo!

I thought there were problems with Gang and Akbar but did not see Akbar joining with Lars

After reading this, I can't even begin to decide which was my favorite segment. Each one was on fire. Not sure Akbar and Gang are going to be together much longer. Love all the heat in your tag division. They all might have a legit beef at why Cooley got to pick his own partner. Loved how you hyped up two matches in one interview segment KVE dragging the other Grappler out from under the ring was awesome and puts him over real quick. Landell on the mic is priceless as he HATES everyone and everything but he might have meet his match with KVE. He could be in for a long weekend. Can't wait for Hatcher's announcement next week as he tries to regain some control.

Piper still looking strong

This is very real life for World Class as it was only here that Adias could go 15 minutes with Studd. Not sure what he had on Fritz but Adias was big time down in Texas.

No matter what Rose does, I do not think he will keep Piper from getting to Firestorm. I agree with Flowers that the grin Snake gives is real creepy

From the second I read that Ayala would be presented the title, I thought something crazy would happen but him ripping the title from Hennig was the only peaceful thing of this wild and crazy show. The Enforcers are proving to be a tough team. Nice win for Wells but Fergie made him pay for it. From the TV show I had a feeling that we would see Lawler and Dundee in the finals of the tournament and somehow peace prevailed.... for NOW! Some day I would love to see Murdoch get that big win. I struggled to make him the superstar that he was in real life when I had him on my roster but he could be Main Event material. Funk is proving to be THE MAN of TNT. Santana gave it a good run but Murdoch came out and the numbers game took their toll. Can Lawler ever take the top spot from Funk? or is it better to keep them on seperate paths? Both great choices and I am looking forward to seeing how you play it

Great use of the backstage interviews. Rip Oliver's was great. Where do I get my bandanna for. I got 19.95 Very smart thing to do by putting Michaels with the Armstrongs. They can teach him the ropes and just be their presence him becomes more legitimate.

Harley after Patera & Blackwell could lead to some fun nights. When I saw Harley, he was always that serious, stoic tweener but would love to see him as a true babyface on the side of good. Miss. Doll has a big role really quickly and I am enjoying your use of her. Not sure she needs the loaded purse as she could just knock someone out with her big right hand. She is going to be a handful! The Patriots team is a nice way to get a lot out of Daniels and Wright

I enjoyed your tv format where you did a great job of hyping up the Barbarian and Kernoodle and then gave the quick results. Battle of of the Belts really delivered and the people of West Virginia got a nice treat. House show loop was awesome. One thing is that I might have put the part with Myers and Atlas on TV to sell more tickets in Orlando because the people in Miami who got the treat of all that wild action probably would not have went up to Orlando the next night.

I think your heels might have some trouble as your babyfaces are on fire. Wildfire, the RnR Express and the Bullet are going to be tough to beat

Congrats on the new job! I just watched a few episodes if CCW from 1985 and I am not sure if it was the sound or if the Boutwell was to big for a television show but your version blows it away.

I really enjoyed this show... and it got going in a hurry as Studd and Brody brawl all over the arena. A DDQ is a perfect finish here! Stasiak throwing his name in the Round Up Title is a nice way to add some depth to it. Not so sure can win it though. Houston and Windham are a nice young team... in fact I think Widham is still only 16 years old but I am sure he was a big ol high school junior. It will be interesting to see if who is using who here to get over as Tatum and Young still need to make a name for themselves. Can't say enough about how much I am enjoying the Movement Steamboat or Kerry... who will be the top babyface here... both are awesome choices... and don't forget Kevin. Bockwinkel might need more than Studd.

August 11, 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. You may have noticed that the studio behind is empty today and that is because we have a special show for you tonight. Last Monday, in the Corral right here in Calgary was such a wild and historic show that we thought we would show you some highlights from that event and get you all caught up on the goings on in Stampede. I promise you that this will be a ring-a ding-dong- dandy of a show as you will not only see the highlights but the fedora-wearing Jim Davies was in both locker rooms after the matches so we will get some emotion filled post-match interviews. AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase with Bad News Allen vs Nikita Koloff with Nicolai Volkoff This match is really a tale of two bouts. It was all Koloff in the beginning as Dibiase had trouble dealing with the power of the Russian Nightmare. The one thing Dibiase did well was not to allow Koloff to hit the Russian Sickle. It was like DIbiase took a page out of Muhammed Ali’s playbook with a little rope a dope. He just allowed Nikita to wear himself out. Eventually, the tide turned and Dibiase took control. The champ followed up a running knee lift with a suplex and it looked like he was going to get the win. Nicolai Volkoff saw the chances of a Russian World Champion slipping away and tried to get involved. Bad News Allen rushed over and clocked Nicolai to prevent any interference as Dibiase locked in the Sleeper and got the win. Post-Match Interviews with Jim Davies: Ted Dibiase: I told everyone that Nikita Koloff was beatable and tonight I proved it. I also want to thank Bad News Allen for not allowing this to turn this into a 2-1 attack. I promise down the road when I return to Stampede, Bad News Allen will get a world title shot! Bad News Allen: Not that Ted Dibiase needed my help to beat Nikita but just a few weeks ago, Nicolai grabbed my leg and caused me to lose focus allowing Nikita to hit me with the Russian Sickle which cost me this World Title shot. Tonight, I made sure Nicolai didn’t do this to Dibiase! One thing I promise is that I am not done with the Russians and I won’t be done until they are out of Stampede. I have made a phone call to the one man I trust in this sport and when you see who it is, you will know why I trust him. He doesn’t give a damn about anyone or anything and he just wants to fight for what he believes in … just like me. Sometimes he is in the right and sometimes he is in the wrong but he always stands up for what he believes in. He said he will be here this week and we are going Russian hunting and Koloff and Volkoff better be ready. Nicolai & Nikita are fuming at Bad News Allen as they must have someone to blame for Nikita coming up short. They vow to take Bad News out of Stampede! (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Edmonton NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Bret Hart vs Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan Special Guest Referee: Stu Hart 1 Hour Time Limit This match is a true classic as both men are awesome at bumping and selling and we see both men looking to be at the top of their game. For once, Bobby Heenan stays completely out of it as he knows Stu Hart is just itching to DQ Flair which will not only cost him the match but guarantee no other title shots for 90 days. The talent of both wrestlers has the fans on the edge of their seats for the first 45 minutes of the match which is when Flair is able to take Hart’s knees out from under him. A few minutes of Flair wearing down the legs and it was Time To Go To School! Flair locks in the Figure 4 and is arching his back as hard as he can to get as much leverage as he could. Hart is writhing in pain put doesn’t submit. A few times his shoulders hit the mat and Stu gives a really slow count and Hart kicks out each time. 5 Minutes go by and no change. Bret Hart can’t do anything about it and you hear Heenan screaming to break his leg. 10 Minutes pass and the crowd is really concerned that their may be some permanent damage to their idol. It looks like Bret is just about passed out from the pain but he refuses to give up. Again, a few more slow counts by Stu prevents any pinfall. 58 Minutes into the match and the British Bulldogs rush the ring and THROW IN THE TOWEL! Ding… Ding… Ding! The bell sounds and the ring announcer declares Ric Flair the new North American Champion. Stu Hart … Ric Flair… Bobby Heenan… and most of all, Bret Hart are all stunned. Jim Davies and Post-Match Interviews: Ric Flair: I told you that Bret Hart was a tough wrestler but he was no Nature Boy. The belt is now where it belongs … and I promise you one thing… the belt… just like my $10,000 robes…. My rolex watches … my Armani suits and my beautiful women… will become something that I am never going to give up! Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kid on why they threw in the towel “Ric Flair and Bret Hart are two of the greatest wrestlers in the world and tonight was Flair’s night. We didn’t wasn’t to see Bret Hart’s career come to an end because of one match. I know that he will be back and that North American title will soon his again. We are a little surprised that Stu didn’t call for the bell earlier but I guess that North American title means more to him than anything in the world. Stu Hart: Tonight is a bad night for the Hart family. It is like we had something we worked our all lives for taken from us like when lightening strikes and burns your house to the ground. Bret Hart was trapped in the Figure 4 but it is not like he has not prepared for that all his life. I mean every day we worked down in the Dungeon and each day in that dungeon would have made Flair’s Figure 4 seem like a mosquito bite. Bret could have stayed in that hold forever and still be the champ. The British Bulldogs made a mistake in judgement tonight and it was a big mistake. I guess they are just not Hart tough! Bret Hart: I just want to say I am sorry to everyone. To all the fans… to all the wrestlers in Stampede who look up to me and most of all, to my father as I let them all down tonight. When asked about the Bulldogs, Bret Hart just kind of shook his head. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Calgary STAMPEDE TITLE MATCH: Jim Neidhart vs Sgt. Slaughter with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie Unlike the Bret Hart vs Ric Flair match, this one was nothing about wrestling. This is a brawl from the opening bell and these two former teammates really go at it. At one point, Slaughter was able to hit the Big Cannon Lariat and looked to be setting the Anvil up for the Cobra Clutch. The Sheik jumped up on the apron to distract the ref and this is when Slaughter reached into his pants and pulled out some sort of rope which he wrapped around the throat of Neidhart just before he locked in the Cobra Clutch. This move is tough enough but add in the fact that is was now a pure choke hold and the Anvil went out kind of quickly. The ref raised and dropped Neidhart’s arm three times and then called for the bell as Sgt. Slaughter became the new Stamped Heavyweight Champion. Jim Davies and Post-Match Interviews: Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie: Hala Jim Davies. Assalum Alaikum. Insha Allah Masha Allah. Ahlan Marhaba Wa Sahla. I have just been on the phone with King Hussein of Jordan and his people are so excited to see Sgt. Slaughter win the Stampede title. King Hussein said that are planning a victory parade in many of the countries around the Middle East as I am a legend there. They are ecstatic that I have convinced Sgt. Slaughter that Allah is the one to look up to and that the ways of the West are corrupt. For the rest of the wrestlers in Calgary, we will prove that Allah is on the side of those who believe and Sgt. Slaughter will crush all that come after the Stampede title. Sgt. Slaughter: I told all you maggots here in Calgary that I am unstoppable and today I made Jim Neidhart know he is nothing but a private and I am the Sargent. Jim Neidhart: Sargent Slaughter… you know that the only way you could beat me was to choke me with a rope. I thought people in the marines were supposed to be honorable but all you are is a cheat! You didn’t win that title fair and square and I will make sure your title reign is short. As for Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie… I am warning you that if I see you anywhere on this earth, I will tear you to pieces. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Edmonton 1st Round Match: Stampede Tag Team Tournament Dr. Death & Manny Fernandez vs Paul Orndorff & Curt Hennig with Bobby Heenan A wild one that saw a little of everything. Hennig was able to out wrestle the opposition but that only lasted a few minutes as this one just turned into a violent brawl with action inside and outside of the ring. Heenan did his best here to help his team but during a moment of chaos with all 4 men brawling on the floor, Heenan picked up a chair and … WHAM: Chair shot by Heenan to the head of Dr. Death. The problem was that Dr. Death completely No Sold this and turned towards Heean. Heenan looked like he had seen a ghost and quickly ran to the locker room. Once the action headed back into the ring, we saw Dr. Death completely go wild and he eventually hit the Oklahoma Stampede on Hennig for the win. Jim Davies and Post-Match Interviews: Bobby Heenan on why he left ringside: Now to all you humanoids out there who never made it to 9th grade biology class… Sometimes nature calls. Dr. Death & Manny Fernandez: We told you … it doesn’t matter who you put in front of us… they are going down and we will be the first ever Stampede Tag Team Champs. Ed Whalen: Well fans, as you just saw, it was a wild night in Calgary. We have a new North American champion, a new Stampede Wrestling Champion and the tournament to crown the first ever Stampede Tag Team Champions is under way. In terms of that tournament, Stu Hart was supposed to be here today to announce the other first round matches but he was unable to be here. He did send in a letter announcing those matches. STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TOUNRAMENT The Sheepherders vs Gamma Singh & Mr. Pogo with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie Nikita Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff vs Bad News Allen & Mystery Partner Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart vs MX-1 & Ciclon Negro The Road Warriors vs The British Bulldogs- AWA WORLD TAG TITLE IS NOT ON THE LINE! Ed Whalen: Folks, these matches will take place Monday night at the Sales Pavilion in Edmonton. I do wonder if the British Bulldogs facing the Road Warriors is a little payback for throwing in the towel costing Bret Hart the North American title. Well, that is not for me to figure out but I do know we are running out of time. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling. STAMPEDE WRESTLING August 12, 1984 Sales Pavilion in Edmonton Ben Bassarab vs Doug Flynn Taras Bulba vs Art Jones STAMPEDE TAG TEAM TOUNRAMENT: 1st Round The Sheepherders vs Gamma Singh & Mr. Pogo with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie Nikita Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff vs Bad News Allen & Mystery Partner Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart vs MX-1 & Ciclon Negro The Road Warriors vs The British Bulldogs

August 10 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 the Dakatos, the American Wrestling Association proudly presents Rocky Mountain Wrestling, coming to you from the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo. 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 Colorado State fairgrounds in Pueblo, Colorado. With me tonight is the President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling, the Lawman, Don Slatton. Don, what a show they had last Monday at the Salt Palace and we will get to some of those highlights a little later in the show but let’s get right to the ring tonight. MATCH: Chris Adams defeats Bill Lownd with the Superkick Cowboy Bob: Well congratulations Chris on tonight’s win but I know you want to talk about last Saturday at the Salt Palace. Let’s show all the fans what happened. VIDEO HIGHLIIGHTS: Rocky Mountain Tag Team Title The Outlaws (Bass & Embry) vs Chris Adams & Mike VonErich In this match, Ladd sent his security enforcer, Grizzly Boone, to attack Von Erich before the match started as Boone crushed VonErich from behind as he walked to the ring. Boone used his 440 pounds to ram VonErich into the steel barrier surrounding the ring. Adams turned just in time to see it but could not prevent it. This meant that Adams had to basically fight the Outlaws by himself and he held his on for awhile before falling to the numbers game as Bass eventually hit the Gordbuster. Cowboy Bob: Well Chris, we all just saw Mike Von Erich get attacked before the match and we know that Ernie Ladd was behind this as he seems to think he is the General of that heel locker room. Chris Adams: First of all, I talked to Mike Von Erich this morning and he is doing better and will be back next week. As for Ernie Ladd, Grizzly Boone and the Outlaws … know one thing… we got a lot of good people around here and we will not take your actions lying down. Lawman Don: As the President of Rocky Mountain Wrestling, I want Ernie Ladd and Grizzly Boone to understand that their actions will not be tolerated. Ernie Ladd has been crying about how he deserves a Rocky Mountain title shot against Wahoo McDaniel but I am telling him right now, he is closer to a fine or a suspension then a title shot. In fact, this Monday in Albuquerque, he is going to have to answer for his actions as it will be Ladd, Grizzly Boone and the Outlaws vs Chris Adams, Blackjack Mulligan, Tony Atlas and Wahoo McDaniel in a New Mexican Come As You Are Street Fight! Adams and the fans are real excited about this and Adams vows revenge! COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Albuquerque Auditorium Show repeated around New Mexico during the week (Santa Fe, Alamagordo, Carlsbad, Las Cruces and Roswell) MATCH: The Super Samoans (Sakalia & Superfly Tui) beat Buck Homestead & Cal Gordon as Tui hits a Top Rope Splash At the interview desk, Cowboy Bob and the Lawman congratulate the Samoans on their victory this past Monday at the Salt Palace to even up their best of 5 series vs the Mountain Men to become the next contenders for the tag title. Cowboy Bob shows a video of the ending of this King of the Mountain Match. It looked like the Mountain Men were going to use their size to take a 2-0 advantage in this series as they were able to toss Sakalia to the floor leaving the 5’8, 220 pound Tui to fight both Mountain Men. As soon as Sakalia hit the floor, Tui came off the top rope and planted a missile drop kick on Rex who staggered backwards and fell over the top rope. Tui then used the rope as a slingshot and caught Link with another drop kick and Link flipped over the ropes evening this series at one apiece. Sakalia and Tui decided the next match would be a Capture the Flag Match where the flag was on top of a pole 10 feet above the tope rope. MATCH: Jos Leduc defeats Hutch Thomas with the Bearhug At the post match interview Leduc is back to his wild and crazy gimmick. He is smacking himself in the face and ranting about how much he wants to move up the ranks and he will do anything to achieve this. When he leaves, Bob and the Lawman explain that Leduc is still upset about not getting the job done when Ladd asked him to get rid of Sweet Brown Sugar. They both explain that Leduc is dangerous enough when he is in his right mind but right now, they would rather meet a bull in phone both. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Albuquerque Auditorium Before we get to our next Ernie Ladd is at the interview desk with the security advisor to his army, Grizzly Boone Ernie Ladd: I have only been in this territory for a few weeks, but I am learning that this is just like the rest of the country. Ernie Ladd is guilty until proven innocent and people like that snake juice drunk, Wahoo McDaniel can do whatever they want as long as the pretend to be on the side of right…. Don Slatton… you call yourself the Lawman … but all you really are is a puppet… a puppet to the fans… a puppet to that big dummy Blackjack Mulligan and a puppet to that puppet champion… Wahoo McDaniel. You accused me of sending Grizzly Boone out to interfere in the match between the Outlaws and Mickey VonErich. Do you have any prove? Lawman Don: I.. Ernie Ladd: Shut up before I put my size 18 boot where you will see my toes coming out of your tonsils. You have no prove but you threaten to suspend me and fine me! Next, you put me in a match with Blackjack, Atlas, Adams and Wahoo … like this scares me. Not even Andre the Giant would dare step in the ring with me again and after Monday that quartet of losers may never wrestle again. As Ladd storms off, Cowboy can’t believe the nerve of Ladd as it is so obvious, he was behind the attack on Mike VonErich. For once, the Lawman seems to be at a loose for words. Maybe big Don Slatton was actually a little nervous that Ladd might actually hit him with the Big Boot. MATCH: Sweet Brown Sugar defeats Derrick Derringer with a Missile Dropkick Sugar is still fuming at being the target of Ernie Ladd and his posse and says he is not done with Sonny King. All of a sudden, there is some commotion behind the curtain, and we see Ernie Ladd push Sonny King out from behind. Sonny King doesn’t seem all that excited about this but once he gets the mic in his hands, he regains his confidence. Sonny King: Listen up Sugar… you have a right to be upset at the hit that was put out on you but to tell you the truth, there is nothing you can do about it. You are nothing and you will always be nothing. Sugar just can’t take it anymore and goes right on the attack and he for once, nobody comes out to stop this brawl. King is bleeding but ready to fight. Eventually, officials and jobbers separate the two. MATCH: Hillbilly Jim defeats Tom Pacciorek with a Big Bodyslam A little dancing and playing with the fans takes the place of a post-match interview but it is obvious to both Cowboy Bob and the Lawman that Hillbilly Jim is on a role and is one big and tough dude that should not be crossed. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show at the Albuquerque Auditorium Before our main event, Blackjack Mulligan is at the interview desk. BJ Mulligan: Well Cowboy, some of my greatest memories in wrestling have come in the Salt Palace and I want to say I am sorry to all those fans in Utah. I dropped the ball. I said a few weeks ago that I was going to protect young Mike VonErich …that I was going to show him the ropes. Well, I failed and in the Salt Palace, one Ernie Ladd, used his goon to attack Mike VonErich. Well this week in Albuquerque, I know it is an 8 man tag match, but I am going to make sure that sometime in that match it will be Ernie Ladd and myself in that ring at the same time. I am going to catch him in the Iron Claw and when the blood starts to trickle down the side of his head, I am going to look up to the sky… up to David VonErich and say I got your little brother and nothing else is going to happen to him. An obviously emotional Blackjack heads off and we go to the ring. MATCH: Tony Atlas & Wahoo McDaniel vs Ox Baker & Ciclon Negro This wild match actually ends with a clean win as Atlas pins Negro following a press slam. Atlas and McDaniel end the show by promising to take a pound of flesh out of Ernie Ladd this week in Albuquerque. Cowboy Bob Tallman: Well folks, tonight’s wild rodeo has come to a close. See you next time on AWA Rocky Mountain All-Star Wrestling. So long from Pueblo!

Race and Ellering are two great guys on the mic and together, they will be awesome

Nice events all around. I bet The Movement will move down that card towards the main event really quickly. Their gimmick just gets the ire of fans and is going to drive Southern crowds wild with anger

Love this format. Ted Dibiase is doing a great job as champ as he is able to play both good and evil which makes for a great traveling title holder Reed has picked some big dudes to help protect him which makes this fun. Love Miss. Doll Race as a ref could go either way! Martel and Arn would be pure magic in the ring
