What a debut show for Saturday Night Special. The Stud Stable seems more dangerous then ever. Not so sure getting Bam Bam mad is such a good idea but we will have to see how badly he is injured.

All-Star releases Paul Ellering and adds Taras Bulba

I agree with the others... Harley's words will go a long way to legitimize Wildfire and the title. I like Mike Miller and Rip Oliver as a team and it will be interesting to see how far you let them go.... title? The MMM is a fun read Armstrong helping to build Michaels is a good idea. He is still very young and needs someone with experience to help him build to bigger things. Wildfire seemed to peaceful in his interview... he wasn't too fiiiiiirrrrreeeeeedd up! Maybe he is taking Rogers lightly which could be a mistake

August 4, 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: I am Ed Whalen and welcome to another edition of Stampede All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the CHCT Studies in downtown Calgary. We have a ring-a-ding-dong- dandy of a show for you today but up first let’s view some highlights from this past week as Stampede visited the great province of Manitoba. Video Montage of last week’s big matches from the Winnipeg Arena. STAMPEDE Title Match: Jim Neidhard defeats Paul Orndorff when he caught him with a powerslam. AWA World Tag Match: The Road Warriors defeated “Dr.Death” Steve Williams & Manny Fernandez after Many was hit with the Doomsday Device. This was to be the last match between these two teams unless Williams and Fernandez can win the upcoming tournament to crown the first ever Stampede Tag champions. NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Bret Hart vs Sgt. Slaughter ended in a DQ win for Hart as he had Slaughter caught in the Northern Lights Cloverleaf but Mr. Pogo and Gama Singh hit the ring and made the save. This ended in a wild brawl as the Bristish Bulldogs hit the ring and we went 3 on 3 until security rushed in. ED Whalen: As we just saw, it was some week in Manitoba last week but know we must get ready for tonight and the big event right here at the Corral in Calgary. Let me bring in the AWA World Champion, Ted Dibiase who has a tough title defense tonight against the Russian Nightmare, Nikita Koloff. Ted Dibiase: Wherever I went, I have been hearing for weeks now there is no chance you can beat Nikita Koloff… The Russian Nightmare is unbeatable. Well let me remind you that everyone said Hulk Hogan was unbeatable but I beat him. Ed Whalen: Hey, what’s going on now! Wwhat are you two doing out here. You are not scheduled to be on the show tonight. Nicolai Volkoff and Nikita come to the interview desk. Nicolai Volkoff: Ted Dibiase… one thing you said is right. Nikita is unbeatable. As Volkoff continues, he starts to poke the champ in the chest as the Russians try to intimidate him. Nicolai Volkoff: What is too bad for you and the stupid fans here in the Canada is that you think what ever you want you get and then you get your poor feelings crushed. Just like you will tonight Mr. Dibiase. As the Russians close in on Dibiase, Ed Whalen calls for calmer heads to prevail. Ted DIbiase: I left one thing out before. People kept warning me that the reason, Nikita couldn’t be beat was that Uncle Nicolai was always around and it was like fighting 2-1. Well, I solved that with one conversation. Nikita, just as you have someone protecting you, I have someone protecting me and it is someone you Nicolai, can’t beat. The crowd erupts as Bad News Allen comes to the interviews desk and reminds everyone that he has a score to settle with the Russians and that he will be in the corner if the World Champ in the Corral tonight. As we go to break, Whalen really thinks that the for once, the Russians might be in trouble! (Commercials) Promos for tonight’s show in Calgary MATCH: Dr. Death & Manny Fernandez crush Tim Dobber & Jay Stalworth The interesting part here was that Stu Hart came out during the match and made a big announcement as he says that Stampede Tag Team Tournament will start tonight in the Corral with Dr. Death and Manny facing off against Paul Orndorff and Curt Hennig who will have Bobby Heenan at their side. Stu also lets us know that the other six teams will be announced next week. In the post-match interview, Dr. Death and Manny are excited to get the tournament started and Orndorff and Hennig will just be a stepping stone to the title and a rematch for the AWA World Tag title. Dr. Death ends the interview with a warning to Bobby Heenan to not get in the way. MATCH: Ben Bassarab defeats Ciclon Negro with the Flying Body Press This is Bassarab’s first match in Stampede since last year and it was obvious from the ovation that he received that the fans missed him. Ciclon Negro really helped Ben out here as he was bumping and selling all over the place and the young Bassarab really looked good with this winning performance. When the match was over, there seemed to be some confusion to the timing of what was going on as MX-1 came out to the ring for his match while Bassarab was still shaking hands with the fans. MX-1 took offense to Bassarab still being there and a bit of a shoving match occurred between the two. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Calgary MATCH: MX-1 defeats Pat Burrel with the Airplane Drop In a quick interview, MX-1 warned Ben Bassarab not to get in his way. Next, Bobby Heenan leads “The Family” (Flair, Orndoff and Hennig) to the interview desk Bobby Heenan: Ok… Last week I said that I knew this is Canada and you all are not too smart up here … and again Stu Hart proves it. I mean how dumb can you be. You start a tournament with the two top teams against each other. Somebody in the 5th grade should tell Stu Hart that the two best teams should meet in the finals! I mean for once I feel bad for the fans. To see your favorite tag team, Dr. Dummy and Manny Burrito, lose in the first round is going to scar some little Canadian kids. Paul Orndorff: I have wrestled both Steve Williams and Manny Fernandez and while they both might be tough, they are no Mr. Wonderful. Curt Hennig: They may be tough but they are all brawn and no brains. Dr. Death can’t even spell PhD! And Manny Fernandez … he is a dumb as the donkey he rode it on. Those titles are as good as ours. Ric Flair: Okay… The Nature Boy is getting sick and tired of this. Three weeks ago, I was told I needed to win matches to move up the ranks to earn a North American title shot. For once in my life, I listened to what was told and I went out and beat everyone around this one horse town. In fact, I beat t Bret Hart twice. Hart is the donkey with the title and his father is the jackass keeping me from the AWA North American title. Maybe it was the jackass comment but Bret Hart comes out waving a piece of paper. Bret Hart: Ehhh… I have been listening to you for weeks saying that my father is protecting me from you. Well, I have heard enough abuttt you and how great you think you are. In my hand, I have an open contract to face anyone tonight in the Corral for the North American title and I thought I would bring that out here to see if you had the guts to sign it! Flair who just happened to have a pen in his $10,000 suit, quickly signed the contract. All of a sudden, Stu Hart, who has been called all kind of names comes out in a referee shirt on and a big smirk on his face. Stu Hart: Ohhh Bobby Heenan. Actions speak louder then words. Your words about me being stupid were only words but the actions of you and Ric Flair just now are truly dumb! I mean you have never heard the phrase…. “Never sign something, you don’t read first.” Well you didn’t read that contract which states that I will be the referee tonight and it anyone interferes to help Ric Flair, he will be disqualified. Heenan and Flair begin to object when Stu Hart says there is more. “If Ric Flair loses, he will not receive a title shot for 90 days!” Now it is Flair and Heenan screaming and the Harts laughing as we go to break. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Calgary Ric McCord defeats Doug McEwing with the middle rope sunset flip At the interview Whalen is praising McCord on how he is moving up the Light Heavyweight ranks and that he might deserve a title shot the next Brad Armstrong is in town. This brought out the former champ, Dynamite Kid who still thinks that he is the one who deserves a rematch with Armstrong. In a very peaceful meeting, McCord and Kid agree to have a match tonight in the Corral to decide who the #1 contender would be. The two shake hands and agree that there will be no nonsense tonight and it will be a true wrestling match. MATCH: Sgt. Slaughter with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie vs Sheepherder Luke Williams While this is not the opponent Slaughter wants, he sees this as an opportunity to take out one of Jim Neidhart’s allies and maybe get Neidhart to give him another Stampede title shot. While Slaughter does lay the boots to Williams, it doesn’t go the exactly the way he wants as Williams gives it as good as he takes it. Eventually we end the show with Sgt. Slaughter locking in the Cobra Clutch. The problem was the he refused to release it and this caused Neidhart to hit the ring and Sarge and “the Anvil” brawled until the screen went black. Ed Whalen: Sorry fans but we are out of time. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling. STAMPEDE WRESTLING August 4, 1984 The Corral In Calgary Ben Bassarab vs Doug Flynn MX-1 vs Jay Strongbow Dynamite Kid vs Ric McCord 1st Rd Match of Stampede Tag Tourny: Manny Fernandez & Dr. Death vs Paul Orndorff & Curt Hennig Elimination Street Fight Match: Jim Neidhart & The Sheepherders vs Sgt. Slaughter, Mr. Pogo and Gamma Singh NORTH AMERICAN TITLE MATCH: Brett Hart vs Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan AWA WORLD TITLE MATCH: Ted Dibiase with Bad News Allen vs Nikita Koloff vs Nicolai Volkoff

TNT is in a great grove right now! Love the new titles, especially the Brass Knuckles belt. The new feuds including Wells and Fergie were nicely set up. Someday we get to Funk vs Lawler. Their empty Mid-South Coliseum was a cool idea in real life. Murdoch and Adonis need some love in this game and I know you do them justice

A women with a purse? Interesting

You had the hook in my from the moment I heard Blue Cyclone. Landell, Madril and RPG again steal the show. Can't wait for the joint show with World Class. Landell is rising up so fast with his promos that he could basically do whatever he wants in this game.

Great show as always! Like the new title structure. Cornette and Bockwinkle promos were awesome! Nice way to get Powers and Savoldi going Windham and Garvin would be Must See TV. Battle of New Orleans will be HOT!

What a night in Minneapolis. 4 Big title matches and 2 new champions. Wonder if Rich can hold the belt longer then 5 days in real life when Race gave him the NWA World title

I like that the Russian Chain match went for less then 10 minutes. This keeps all the action moving and the violence would be non-stop.

Dibiase calling out Patera and Blackwell could be dangerous. Love the quick build of Rick Martel in Georgia Give me more of angry Hacksaw Reed and Grumpy Ole. They are both great on the mic and really do a good job of hyping up their opponent.

When Savage and Hernandez eventually square off, it will be epic

August 3 A montage of wrestling and rodeo falls set to music introduces the show. 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 down in Denver last Monday. Lawman: That’s right Cowboy and before we get to the ring tonight, we must take a look at the video tape. A video montage from the Denver Auditorium shows · Ernie Ladd catch Hillbilly Jim with a Big Boot for the win · The Mountain Men (Link & Rex) take 1-0 lead in their best of 5 Series against the Samoans (Sakalia & Tui) as Rex took advantage of a downed ref and hit Tui with a Walking Stick. · Blackjack Mulligan, Chris Adams & Mike Von Erich defeat The Outlaws (Ron Bass & Eric Embry) along with Sonny King as Mike Von Erich caught Sonny King with the Iron Claw as the other 4 men brawled outside the ring. · Wahoo McDaniel successful defended his Rocky Mountain Title against Ox Baker in a bloody brawl but after the bout, Ox hit Wahoo with the Heart Punch and the champ left the ring on a stretcher. Cowboy Bob: Well folks, it was a great night of action and we also have some good news as Wahoo McDaniel is fine and will be with us in just a minute. Wahoo McDaniel: Well Lawman… its bone picking time and I got a few bones to pick. First of all, Ox Baker… you were out here last week talking about some nonsense about how I paid two guys to jump you down in Amarillo. Ox… you know that is a lie. We have rasstled each other many times and I just got your number. I had it in Amarillo and I had last Monday in Denver. The problem is you don’t play fair and you hit me with a Heart Punch after the match. You tried to end my career and I don’t take kindly to that. I have asked and been granted a match with Ox tonight and trust me Cowboy, this is going to be a backyard brawl. My next bone to pick is with Ernie Ladd. The Big Cat has been around talking about how I am afraid of him and how I seem to disappear when he is around. Ernie Ladd is just like Ox Baker. A little old and his memory is fading. When I as done with Baker, I am coming for you Ernie Ladd. One thing for sure is that I am a fighting champ! COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Salt Palace SHOW REPEATED AROUND UTAH DURING THE WEEK (Provo, Green River, Moab, St. George) MATCH: The Mountain Men (Rex & Link) beat Buck Homestead & Cal Gordon The match is a complete squash match as the Mountain Men just throw Homestead and Gordon around. Rex and Link went over to the interview desk and kind of grunted and screamed their way through it. Rex: We told you a couple of weeks ago that we deserved the title shots around here and not those idiot Samoans. Cowboy Bob: Well maybe if you didn’t use a walking stick you wouldn’t have won the first match. Remember, you need to win three matches to earn a title shot. Link: And now that we won the first match, we get to pick the type of match the next one will be and we choose A King of the Mountain Match! Lawman Don: And what is a King of the Mountain Match? Rex: All 4 men in the ring at once and to get the win you must through both of your opponents over the Top Rope to the floor. Link: Hey they call that little Samoan, Superfly Tui… can’t wait to the Salt Palace and see how far he flies! MATCH: Sonny King defeats Hutch Thomas by Knockout with the Bolo Punch As King walks to the locker room he goes right past the interview desk even though Cowboy Bob tries to get a word with him. Bob is wondering if Sonny King is still the manager of the Rocky Mountain Tag Champs (Bass & Embry) as this is the second week in a row that he has been in the ring. What is really unusual is that this is one time Sonny King has been at a loss for words. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Salt Palace Before we get to our next match Ron Bass & Eric Embry are at the interview desk hyping up their title match against Mike VonErich & Chris Adams this week in the Salt Palace. One thing that was really interesting was that when they were asked if Sonny King was still their manager Ron Bass replied by saying right now the General is in control. When asked by Cowboy Bob who the general was and what was he is control of, the Outlaws simply walked away. MATCH: Sweet Brown Sugar defeats Derrick Rowe with a Missile Dropkick Cowboy Bob can’t believe what he is seeing as Sonny King hits the ring and goes after Sugar. Lucky for Sugar, King misses with that big bolo punch he showcased earlier in the show. The problem was that Grizzly Boone was right behind Sonny King! WHAM… the 440 pounder rammed Sugar right into the ring post then he climbed up to the second rope WHAM… Giant splash on Sugar! The crowd explodes as Tony Atlas hits the ring and Sonny King and Grizzly Boone head off to the locker room as Atlas goes to check on Sweet Brown Sugar. The interesting thing here is that as Boone was heading off, Ernie Ladd came out and gave him a big salute. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Salt Palace Before we get back to the ring, Lawman Don Slatton has demanded Ernie Ladd to come to the interview desk as he wants to get to the bottom of the recent attacks as he feels that Ladd is behind it. Ernie Ladd: Listen up Don Slatten, for once in your life, you are right. When I first got here, this locker room was disorganized and people like Wahoo McDaniel and Blackjack Mulligan were doing whatever they wanted to. Just look at the crap Blackjack has done the last few weeks. He brings in Mikey VonErich and within 3 weeks, he has a title shot. Well this is all going to come to stop. Rocky Mountain Wrestling will now be run like the military. This is now Ernie Ladd’s Army! My first order of business was to find a security enforcer. I needed someone who was willing to do the dirty work so I said whoever takes out that fool Sweet Brown Sugar gets the job. I must say I am real happy at how this turned out. What better enforcer could Ladd’s Army have but a 440 monster…. Grizzly Boone. Next order of business… protect the gold! Right now Ron Bass and Eric Embry have the tag titles and the Army will make sure they keep those belts. Lastly and most important, the Army will get rid of Wahoo McDaniel followed by Blackjack Mulligan Before we head to the ring, Slatton and Cowboy Bob wonder if Rocky Mountain Wrestling will ever be the same. During the interview, Grizzly Boone and Jos Leduc come out and wonder in a very threatening way if VonErich and Adams will even make it to the Salt Palace. Leduc is seeming to be back to his wild and crazy self and that makes him real dangerous. Somehow, cooler heads prevail as VonErich and Adams head to the ring. MATCH: Mike Von Erich & Chris Adams defeat Verlon Biggs & Ross Mendez as Adams hit a Superkick on Biggs Adams and VonErich did a great job of showing they are real confident that they will take the tag titles from Bass and Embry in the Salt Palace but all of a sudden, they are interrupted as Grizzly Boone and Jos Leduc come out and wonder in a very threatening way if VonErich and Adams will even make it to the Salt Palace. Leduc is seeming to be back to his wild and crazy self and that makes him real dangerous. Somehow, cooler heads prevail. COMMERCIAL Promos for Monday’s show in The Salt Palace ROCKY MOUNTAN TITLE MATCH: Wahoo McDaniel vs Ox Baker This brawl starts way before the bell and has nothing to do with wrestling. It takes only a few big tomahawk chops for the momentum to swing to Wahoo’s side. After about 10 chops Ernie Ladd and his new security enforcer, Grizzly Boone hit the seen. It is like Wahoo’s pals had expected this as Blackjack Mulligan and Tony Atlas are not far behind! As the brawl is raging we hear… 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 like the way you introduced Hogan. Can he eventually get Playboy Buddy Rose

If Gino has King Tonga on his side, Savage might have to get some real help if he is going to fight for Liz.

I like the way you did this. Very realistic

Too bad... Michaels would have looked good in the car. Must say I was rooting for Bret to beat his brother mainly because I wanted to see where you traded him and what you got in return. Great work as always!

Dr. David is a great Super Babyface chasing the new heels of CCW! Can't wait to hear Landell next week!

The Masked Men are making their mark in Great Lakes The car gimmick is a great way to hype up Detroit! Race and Rich.... I think Race is right in that on most nights he is going to leave Wildfire a bloody mess but miracles do happen and even if it doesn't, Rich is still money in the bank for the owners! Sawyers in a loser-leave town match has my hooked for the next show.

This is the best Soap Opera on TV! Between Landel, RPG and the rest of your promos... I am ALL IN! The Fiesta Garden to the end of the show was priceless. You set this up perfectly. So glad you got Landell from me. Anyone else you want, please ask! You are the master at this small town Southern Promotion

JULY 28, 1984 Music intro with a montage of all the stars of Stampede Wrestling past and present is shown. Ed Whalen: I am Ed Whalen and welcome to another edition of Stampede All-Star Wrestling coming to you from the CHCT Studies in downtown Calgary. We have a ring-a-ding-dong- dandy of a show for you today as we are going to be seeing many of the highlights from the major show this past Monday in the Corral and have 4 big in-studio matches for you. First, let’s begin with Bad News Allen vs Nicolai Volkoff from the Corral. VIDEO: Nicolai Volkoff vs Bad News Allen What is interesting here is that the crowd in Calgary is actually behind Allen. If you would have said that 6 months ago, you might people would have called you insane. As for the match, both men have their time on top but Allen is able to survive the backbreaker from the Russian and go on the offensive, WHAM… Ghetto Blaster from Allen. As the ref goes for the count, Nikita hits the ring at two and is all over Bad News. Allen gets the win by DQ but he takes a pretty good beating that ends with a Sickle by the Russian Nightmare. When the video is over, Nikita and Nicolai are at the interview desk. Nicolai Volkoff: Bad News Allen… you are just as stupid as the rest of the people around here. You are just getting in our way and if it continues you will feel the wrath of Mother Russian! Nikita Koloff: I hope you all saw what happens to anyone who gets hit with the Sickle. I hope Ted Dibiase was watching as on August 4th… I will use the Russian Sickle to win the title over another weak Westerner! Ed Whalen: Folks, I think Bad News needs some help to deal with this Russian duo and Ted Dibiase better be at his best or the AWA title might be returning to Moscow. IN-STUDIO MATCH: MX-1 defeats Tom Millison with the Airplane Drop This masked wrestler does his best to hype himself and his Airplane Drop move but he is a bit weak on the microphone. The fans see him as an arrogant man he thinks he is much better than he really is. We will have to see if anyone can put him in his place in the weeks to come. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Winnipeg Ed Whalen: Fans, you are in for a treat now as we are about to see highlights of one of the greatest tag matches ever and it took place last week in Edmonton. VIDEO MATCH: The Road Warriors with Paul Ellering vs Dr. Death & Manny Fernandez We pick up the match with Dr. Death backing Hawk into the corner and just pummeling away on him. Referee Rod Hater forces the break but as soon as Williams is backed off, he heads comes back in. Williams pushes passed Hater and is all over Hawk. Again, Hater gets in between and forces the break. Hawk charges Dr. Death. WHAM! Hawk accidently hits Hater with a short -armed clothesline and he is out cold. WHAM! Powerslam by Dr. Death and he covers Hawk but there is no count as there is no ref. Williams picks up Hawk and hits another powerslam and once again covers Hawk. Referee Jergen Herman rushes in and begins to make the count. Animal is aware and rushes in to make the save. Wham! Manny Fernandez hits Animal with a Flying Elbow. 1…2…3. The fans are going wild as we have new World Tag Champs. Herman gives the belts to Dr. Death and Manny. Ref Rod Hater slowly rises and sees Dr. Death and Manny with the belts and he goes over and rips them out of their hands. He goes to the ring announcer…. Ed Whalen: Referee Rod Hater has disqualified Dr. Death and Manny Fernandez claiming that Dr. Death put his hands on him when illegally attacking Hawk in the corner and therefore the Road Warriors are still the champs! When the video ends, we see an understandable upset Dr. Death and Manny at the interview desk. They can’t believe that Rod Hater made that decision but the good thing is that the Road Warriors now know that Dr. Death and Manny are the better team and this week in Winnipeg, they will take the titles Stu Hart comes out to the interview desk and congratulates Dr. Death and Manny on their near title win but also makes it clear that nobody can put their hands on a referee. Hart doesn’t care about the objections being made by Dr. Death and Manny as he continues. Stu Hart: Also, this will be your last title shot. Now the tag team behind Stu is fuming but he asks them to pay close attention. Stu Hart: The reason is that later this summer, Stampede Wrestling will be holding a tournament to crown the first ever Stampede Tag Team Champions and whoever controls those belts, will be the #1 contenders whenever the AWA World Champs are in town. As Stu promises more information on this next week, Dr. Death and Manny begin to smile as they believe those belts are as good as theirs! IN STUDIO MATCH: Ric Flair with Bobby Heenan defeats Jay Strongbow with the Figure 4 This was a good match for TV with some really nasty chops from both men but in the end, Flair was just too dirty and took control after a low blow. After a few minutes of working on the knees, Flair locks in the Figure 4 and it is all over. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Winnipeg When we come out of break, Bobby Heenen and Flair are at the interview desk. Bobby Heenan: Ok… I know this is Canada and you all are not too smart up here … but last week in Edmonton, we saw Ric Flair defeat Brett Hart for the second time in a row but still no North American Title shot! What is going on? So what does stupid Stu Hart do? He gives the wrong member of The Family the wrong title shot! That’s right humanoids in Winnipeg. Get ready to see Paul Orndorff take the Stampede Title from Jim Neidhart this week. I guess it is all good because eventually Stupid Stu will have to give a North American title shot to Ric Flair and then the Family will have two titles and then which ever two men I put into the Stampede Tag team title tournament will give The Family control of all of the gold in Stampede Wrestling/ Ric Flair: I know what is going on. Stu Hart can’t stand to see the title around my waist. I mean look at me. I got it all. $10,000 robes, rolex watches, private jets and ooooooohhhhhhhh the ladies. Then Stu Hart takes a look at his son…. Now don’t get me wrong, Bret Hart is not a bad wrestler. He works hard. Real Hard! And that is the problem. He is not raw talent. It doesn’t come natural to him but me…. WHOOOOO, I am the Nature Boy! All of a sudden, Bret Hart comes out. Bret Hart: Ehhh… I have heard enough abuttt you and how great you think you are. You are right, you beat me the last two weeks but you didn’t mention the goons that helped you. Ric Flair just laughs. Bret Hart: Laugh all you want Flair. You know you needed the help of Orndorff and Hennig. Flair is angry now and steps up to Hart. SMACK! Hart hits Flair right across the face and heads to the ring where he dares Flair to come to the ring. Flair is fuming and is in his way but Heenan holds him back and calmer heads prevail. Ed Whalen: Well someday soon these two will meet for the AWA North American Title and it will be a Ring-A-Ding-Dong-Dandy! Let’s get back to the ring and out next scheduled match. IN-STUDIO MATCH: Rick McCord defeats Brian Beck with the Lou Thesz Press McCord continues to impress as Whalen hypes up the fact that he might just be in line for an AWA Light Heavyweight Title shot the next time Brad Armstrong is in town. (Commercials) Promos for Monday’s show in Winnipeg VIDEO MATCH: STAMPEDE TITLE MATCH Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart vs Sgt. Slaughter The match ended in a DQ win for the Anvil as Gama Singh and Mr. Pogo hit the ring and attacked Neidhart 4-1 if you include Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie Ed Whalen: Well folks… the good news from you just saw is that Jim Neidhart will be okay. The bad news is that he is still hurting and will not be able to be with us tonight. That means that the Sheepherders will have to go it alone in our main event tonight against Sheiks Army. Before our main event lets bring in Sheik Adnan Al Kassie and his men. Sheik Adnan Al Kaissie: Hala Ed Whalen. Assalum Alaikum. Insha Allah Masha Allah. Ahlan Marhaba Wa Sahla. I am so very excited that Stampede Wrestling is noticing how dominant my men are. Tonight, Stu Hart did the right thing for once by setting up a tournament for crown Mr. Pogo and Gama Singh tag team champions of Stampede Wrestling. Ed Whalen: Ummm, not sure he did that for you. Sheik Adnan: I understand. We don’t want to say that out loud and let the other teams now they have no chance. Also, this Monday, it will be Sgt. Slaughter taking the North American Title from Bret Hart. I can’t wait for the parade all around Saudi Arabia. Sgt. Slaughter: That’s right… listen up all of you maggots out there in Winnipeg. Please don’t cry when I lock Bret Hart in the Cobra Clutch and he goes to sleep and I take his belt. You people up here in this stickin country bring lots of tissues as I know you will be shedding some tears when your hero is carried out on a stretcher. Ed Whalen: Enough of this. Time to get to the ring. MATCH: 6 MAN TAG ACTION The Sheepherders vs Slaughter, Pogo and Singh The Sheepherders fought just likie you knew they would but eventually the numbers game took over. Slaughter and his teammates began to punish the Sheepherders. It looked like the Sheiks men were out to hurt the Sheepherders instead of getting the win. Just when it looked bleak, the crowd popped as “The Anvil” hit the ring. We see a wild brawl to end the show that ends with fan favorites in charge of the ring. Ed Whalen: Sorry fans but we are out of time. So, in the meantime and in the in-between time… that’s it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling.

The master of the Mid-Card continues with a whole bunch of new blood to keep us on the edge of our seats each week. More suspense here... Did Tully really quit? Are Lawler's buddies all going to turn on each other. The craziness of Ratymus will continue and now can he lead his boys over the Fab Ones. I would not put anything past him. The Funk promo was awesome and I can't wait to see who is next in line Love the Logo. Sweetan vs Steele... Love an Animal that is heel-ish

Great show here with many angles continuing and some great knew ones getting started. Martel really gives you a nice fan favorite who can do it all. Great way to get him over with a win vs Ole. Say what you want about Ole, he knew how to make $$$ Hacksaw vs Saito would be one of my favorite match ups of all time. They were some big thick dudes who could really go.

I like the chaos of the tag match here. It keeps Crusher and Bruiser relevant even though they are past there prime as it reminds people of how wild these two were. Nice job letting people do what they do best.
