I would say most definitely. A lot of times guys (who are lesser known) are left on the free agent list cause writers aren't familiar with them or their work but then after seeing how others use them it sparks ideas on how they would use them should they become available. I think you have done a tremendous job establishing both these guys.

CCW sends Hercules Hernandez and Dick Slater to WWF for Ron Bass and Black Bart

Love the Machines vs. Adams/Gino....this is the kinda of fantasy match ups that make the game fun! Nikita is the perfect heel opponent for Hogan in this era...HUGE box office draw here!

Loving the Best of Seven Series!! This will go a long way toward get the RPMs over in SMW! Great job on the retirement match as well..Ron Starr is the man in Smoky Mtn right now.

I don't see Ron Slinker from Florida anywhere (unless I'm overlooking him) If he's available I'd like to put him in my open 49th roster spot.

Due to some recent change of plans I may be interested in trading Hercules Hernandez, Dick Slater, and Jimmy Valiant. Shoot me a message with any offers.

Great debut for the Rockers and a huge win for the Outlaws! Blanchard and Prichard would have been a show stealer.

You've hit the ground running with WWC...count me in as a fan of Chicky Starr's talk show as well. Always fun stuff.

Just trying to keep up with your stuff man...having a blast.

CCW TV Recorded on May 30, 1985 at the Sportatorium in Tampa, FL. In front of a live studio audience Airing on various television outlets throughout the Southeast on June 1, 1985 Hosted by Gordon Solie & Joe Pedicino Ring Announcer: Rhubarb Jones (The show opens with footage of Austin Idol winning the UWF World Championship from Dusty Rhodes with unexpected help from David Sammartino at Rocket City Rumble last Sunday in Huntsville, Alabama. The footage ends with Dusty declaring David Sammartino a "dead man"/ We then go to the opening montage and to the desk with Gordon Solie and Joe Pedicino) Gordon: "Hello wrestling fans and welcome to sunny Tampa, Florida where we come to you from the Sportatorium and usher in a whole new era of Continental Championship Wrestling brought to you by the Universal Wrestling Federation." Joe: "A new era indeed, not only due to the fact that CCW has broadened it's reach here in the great state of Florida….but because of that footage we just witnessed to open the show….the "Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol is our new Universal Wrestling Federation World Heavyweight Champion." Gordon: "We certainly did and while we all knew Austin Idol had the capability of becoming the World Champion, I don't think any of us expected David Sammartino to help him do so….least of all did the 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes." Joe: "No he did not and he is none too happy with Mr. Sammartino and he is looking for revenge…..we received this video taped interview with the 'Dream' via FedEx today just before we went on the air….check it out." (VTR- Bill Watts is standing in the UWF studios) Watts: "To say that I'm disgusted with what took place in Huntsville, Alabama would be an understatement. I've come to expect less than respectable behavior from Austin Idol, Fred Blassie, and Ted Arcidi. You would think that 3 on 1 would have been a big enough advantage but they enlisted the help of David Sammartino, the son of one of the revered and respected wrestlers in the history of the sport and I would have never believed anyone who shared the name and the bloodlines of the great Bruno Sammartino would bring shame to his family in such a way as being associated with those scoundrels and costing Dusty Rhodes the UWF Unified World Championship. Dusty, come on in here and tells us your thoughts." (Dusty comes onscreen) Dusty: "My thoughts Cowboy? Nobody would want to bare witness to the things that have haunted my thoughts these past few days….Yes, I want my World title back…..Yes, I want revenge on Austin Idol and the other two stooges If you WEEL….but right now all I can think about is that low down dirty dawg, David Samarteeno…I have all the respect in the world for his Daddy, but I'm afraid poor Bruno will weep when he sees what I do to his boy when I get my hands on him one of these days….I'm going to break him….and that's all I have to say, baby. Like I said in Huntsville….David….YOU…ARE…A…DEAD…MAN!!!" (END VTR) Gordon: "Apparently Austin Idol is still celebrating in Las Vegas his huge title win and Freddie Blassie says he will be here next week and will have another celebration here on television. More on this later when we hear from David Sammartino and get his explanation for what took place in that match, We have a HUGE main event as The Bullet will challenge the Dirty White Boy for the Alabama Championship but right now we go to the ring for our opening bout!" =================================================== MATCH #1- Mike Graham pinned Roy Lee Welch with a sunset flip ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (VTR- Footage is shown of the Nightmares winning the Four Corners #1 Contender match against The Rock & Roll Express/The Grapplers/The Midnight Rockers at Rocket City Rumble…..we then go to footage from the following night in Birmingham when the new #1 contenders defeated The Long Riders (Bill/Scott Irwin) to win the CCW Tag Team Championships) (Back in the studio- Coach John Heath is joined by Danny Davis & Ken Wayne : The Nightmares) Coach: "I'm joined by the brand new Continental Tag Team Champions The Nightmares…what a pair of victories you guys had to get here!" Davis: "Yes sir, two of the biggest victories of our career on back to back nights. We defeated three of the top teams in wrestling on Sunday night and then we managed to beat one of the biggest and baddest duos walking to take these belts in Birmingham." Coach: "Well, you certainly don't have time to savor the moment as you scheduled in a series of title defenses this week including a big cage match defending against the Grapplers on Monday night in Birmingham." Wayne: "That's right Coach, we've got the Grapplers in a cage and if we make it through that we have other defenses to make through the week but I promise you…..NOBODY is going to take these titles from the Nightmares! Road Warriors, we're coming for your World Tag Team titles next!" ==================================================== LOCAL PROMOS AIR FOR THE UPCOMING HOUSE SHOWS ==================================================== COMMERCIALS ==================================================== (VTR- Footage from Rocket City Rumble airs of "Exotic" Adrian Street winning the Southeastern Title from Brad Armstrong) (Adrian and Ms. Linda join Joe Pedicino in front of the desk) Joe: "You made good on your promise, you are the new Southeastern Champion." Adrian: "Joey, there was never any doubt at all. While Bradley Strongarms is a great wrestler…..he certainly doesn't measure up to a real man such as myself, right Linda?" Linda: "No..no….not even close dear." Adrian: "What a big night it was….Idol beat the fat man….Bruno's boy showed his true colors….Those Road Warriors may have killed Ollie Humperdink…but let's be honest Joey, the only thing anyone could talk about driving home was the fact Adrian Street beat Bradley Strongarms within an inch of his life….and you know what, I did it again the next night in Birmingham." Joe: "No..no..no, that is NOT how that went down, you intentionally poked the referee in the eye to save your title in Birmingham." Adrian: "Whaaatt?? Are you drunk? I did no such thing, I was merely reaching to break the hold and that moronic referee got in my way…that was not intentional whatsoever." Joe: "Well regardless, you can't get yourself disqualified this week because it's NO DQ when you meet Brad Armstrong in another rematch." Adrian: (puts his hands on his cheeks) "OH NO! No DQ! This stipulation really has me cornered…whatever shall I do??" (skips away smiling) Joe: "Gordon, that reaction…can't be good." ================================================= MATCH #2 The Great Kabuki/Killer Khan w/Tojo defeated Porkchop Cash/Sabu when Kabuki defeated Sabu with the 'Oriental Spike' (VTR- Robert Fuller/Jimmy Golden/Ron Fuller are in the dressing room in B'ham after the rematch with Kabuki/Khan/Tojo as the medics try to flush the eyes of Ron in the background) Robert: "Killer Khan, you've tried to blind my brother, the Tennessee Stud and you may have done it! Last night we took out the Missing Link and sent his a** home in an ambulance…..so now you stoop to this….you listen and you listen good…I don't care what town it is…me and my cousin Jimmy Golden want you in the ring and we will avenge this!" Jimmy: "You got that right….this will not stand, you hear me! This is not going to fly….WE ARE THE STUD STABLE! If you don't know what that means, you shall soon find out!!" ================================================= Gordon runs downs the Birmingham card for the Alabama stations, the other stations get their local card CCW Summer Heatwave Tour 1985 RAGE IN THE CAGE Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, Alabama Monday May 27, 1985 Bell time 7:30pm MAIN EVENT #2 TAG TEAM STEEL CAGE MATCH Continental Tag Team Titles The Nightmares (Danny Davis/Ken Wayne) Vs.

"The Living Legacy" David Sammartino w/"Classy" Freddie Blassie & Teddy Muscles (Arcidi) (CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE) =============================================== COMMERCIAL =============================================== (Gordon Solie is joined by Mr. Olympia) Gordon: "We'd like to welcome Mr. Olympia who has been out of action a couple of weeks due to a knee injury suffered at the hands of Austin Idol, Freddie Blassie, and Ted Arcidi. How is the healing process, I see you have a rather large brace on your knee." Olympia: "It's doing much better Gordon, you know I've been out of the loop during my recovery and I haven't been to any of the arenas and due to all the hard work I've been doing trying to rehab my knee I hadn't even seen the television show…..so I show up to the studio today, which was already a surprise being told to come to Tampa instead of Dothan. I get here and demand a rematch with Idol for the Continental title and find out that Bruiser Brody is the new CCW champion and that somehow Idol beat Dusty Rhodes for the WORLD TITLE??? With help from David Sammartino?? What the heck is going on here, Gordon?" (Before Gordon can reply- Blassie, Arcidi, and Sammartino come out to the desk) Blassie: "What's going on you pencil neck geek is the continued domination of the UWF by Austin Idol. Of course Idol beat Dusty Rhodes! Why wouldn't he? He's a superior wrestler, and a superior athlete. As far as Brody, we didn't need the Continental title anymore so we sacrificed it to Brody, just know this…as long as I'm around YOU will never be champion again and you will NEVER get a shot at the World title because you don't deserve it." Olympia: "Old man, I already have a title match signed for the Continental title with Bruiser Brody in Birmingham on Monday night. However, what I want to know is….(looks at David) How much is Blassie and Idol paying you to shame and embarrass your family the way you have….you are disgusting….Bruno must be beside himself over this." David: "First off, my Father is none of you or these rednecks concern. You say that I'm an embarrassment? I'm not the one who has to cover my face with a mask like you! I have the opportunity to be managed by the greatest mind in the history of wrestling and hang with the greatest World Champion of all time, Austin Idol. Why wouldn't I want to be a part of that? I'm the 'Living Legacy', and I will far exceed anything my family has ever done in this business. Watch and learn, gimp." (points at the knee brace and laughs as he gets in the ring) ================================================= MATCH #3 "The Living Legacy" David Sammartino w/Blassie & Arcicid defeated Ted Allen with the 'Dream Killer' (Bridging German Suplex) ================================================= Gordon: "We're going to take another commercial break and when we come back, the Alabama Championship will be on the line as the Dirty White Boy defends against the Bullet." (Before they can go to break the Dirty White Boy comes out) DWB: "Gordon, we need to postpone the title match." Gordon: "We can't do that it's already been signed and scheduled, why would we postpone it?" DWB: "Woman, isn't here and I haven't heard from her and I'm way to distraught to wrestle until I find out what's going on." Gordon: "Well, I hate to hear that but we still have to have the match." DWB: "How can we have an Alabama Title match, we're in Florida? There's no jurisdiction here!" (Buddy Wayne comes out) Buddy: "Tony, we don't have to be in Alabama for the title to be defended, in a couple of weeks there will be a tournament to crown a new Florida Heavyweight Champion and at that point we may limit the state title defenses to that state but for now the match is on after this break." (DWB storms away) ================================================== MATCH #4- MAIN EVENT Alabama Heavyweight Title The Bullet defeated 'Dirty White Boy' Tony Anthony when the ref was knocked down…. Woman came out (in very different garb than we've seen lately) and went to hit the Bullet with what appeared to be a golden spike but Bullet ducked and she nailed Anthony in the forehead with hit it, busting him open….she tried again to swing at the Bullet who caught her hand and then bent her over his knee and spanked her….as she then scurried away Bullet locked a sleeper hold on DWB, referee Ron West checked the arm that dropped three times…and we have a new Alabama Champion The Bullet! Gordon: "Fans, what a turn of events….that didn't look like Woman that came to the ring….that look like a woman we know better here in Florida as the 'Fallen Angel'! In any event that miscue on her part has cost the Dirty White Boy the Alabama Heavyweight Championship….we'll have more on this situation next week but for now….for Joe Pedicino, I'm Gordon Solie saying, So long from the Sunshine state!" © 1985 Universal Wrestling Federation/Continental Championship Wrestling

Really enjoying the antics of the Rat Pack. Enjoyed seeing Idol and his crew here...Idol and JYD promises to be a war if JYD can get past Idol's cronies....I'm shocked Dusty didnt take the opportunity to go after Sammartino.

Would love to see Al Perez work his way into title contention...I think Perez was underutilized in real life. If anyone could manage to drag 20 minutes out of 1985 Lex Luger it's Ricky Steamboat.

Taking out Piper is HUGE for Nikita!

Lots of great stuff going on here. They call him Rotten Ron for a reason! Well played! Best of seven is awesome.

Loved Gordy repping TN! What a way to end the show with the appearance of Murdoch...Loving all the twists and turns in the TN vs. TX feud

Great wins for Regal and Taylor Hard to imagine sympathy for Nord but this accomplished it!

CCW sends Bill Irwin, Scott Irwin, and Fred Ottman to MACW for Kendall Windham, Mr. Wrestling 2, and Rocky Johnson CCW sends Haku and the Barbarian to USWA for Tommy Rich and Eddie Gilbert I think with what LowBlow already posted that covered all mine but I will double check my list when I get home tonight.

Yep, makes the most sense and it's honestly the most realistic.
