Thanks for all the great feedback. I write the big Monday card then write my TV (and house shows) around that. I got so used to that booking Memphis over on Wrestling Classics and then booking Memphis here before that I finally had to set CCW up in the same format for me to finally find my groove with Continental. Got a lot of fun stuff lined up this summer and I'm having a blast working together as the UWF.

CCW On Tour 1985 Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, Alabama Monday May 20, 1985 Bell time- 7:30pm Winner Referees the Main Event Scott Armstrong pinned "Dirty" Dick Slater after a superkick on Slater while he was distracted by a masked man at ringside….As Slater tried to recover, Ole and Jesse Anderson hit the ring to attack Scott Armstrong who narrowly escaped, Brad came down to ringside and grabbed the mic, "Hey guys, meet my tag team partner….the mysterious, masked…. BULLET!" (Crowd goes wild as The Andersons and Slater are beside themselves protesting) U.S. Jr. Title Shane Douglas defeated "Superstar" Bill Dundee by DQ when referee Ron West caught Dundee using a chain on Douglas…..Afterwards, Dundee shoved West….Buddy Wayne came out and fined Dundee $500 for abusing the official Tag Team First Blood Match The Grapplers w/Woman defeated The Nightmares (Danny Davis/Ken Wayne) when referee Bob Densmore was accidently knocked down, Davis busted open Grappler #2 through his mask, while Wayne and Grappler #1 fought on the floor, meanwhile Woman slipped in and hit Davis in the face with a mirror from her purse busting Davis open, she then pulled ANOTHER MASK out of her purse and slipped it over Grappler #2's head as Densmore recovered and saw Davis' head bloodied but no blood on the mask of either Grappler. Alabama Heavyweight Title- Rematch "Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony pinned "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley to win the Alabama Heavyweight Title when Woman came to ringside and distracted Cooley allowing DWB to clothesline Cooley in the back of the head and get the pinfall. Afterwards, DWB and Woman leave together with Woman carrying the title over her shoulder. #1 Contender's Match for the Southeastern Title "Exotic" Adrian Street w/Ms. Linda pinned Billy Jack Haynes with a inside cradle…..the end came when BJH had Street locked in the full nelson, Ms. Linda jumped up on the apron which caused the referee to go get her down off the ring, which allowed Street to kick Haynes low, then roll him up in an inside cradle Continental Tag Team Titles The Long Riders (Bill/Scott Irwin) w/Sir Oliver Humperdink defeated The Southern Boys (Steve Armstrong/Tracy Smothers) when Scott Irwin pinned Smothers after a Superplex Continental Heavyweight Title "Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol w/"Classy Freddie Blassie & Teddy Muscles Vs. Bruiser Brody The bell rings, Idol grabs the mic and tells Brody that he knows he's a business man just like him and he understands that the World title is a huge deal and he can't put his health at risk tonight defending the CCW title against Brody, when he's a week away from facing Dusty Rhodes for the UWF World Title, so what he's proposing is if Brody shakes his hand and walks away tonight, Brody will get the very first shot at the World title when he beats Rhodes next Sunday in Huntsville….Brody nods along as Idol is saying all this….and once he's done talking…Brody extends his hand for the agreed upon handshake….Idol smiles widely, and says Brody is smarter than people give him credit for…..Brody shakes his hand…and as Idol goes to pull away…he can't, Brody fires him into the ropes and gives him the BIG BOOT and goes for a quick cover……1-2-3!! We have a new Continental Heavyweight Champion, Bruiser Brody!! Idol rolls out and Blassie demands Arcidi go in and "handle this" Ted Arcidi comes into the ring, Brody throws down the belt and charges him, they exchange blows for a moment until from out of nowhere, Hercules Hernandez hits the ring and attacks Brody, Idol slides back in and Herc, Arcidi, and Idol triple team Brody and bust him open…..until Brody crawls over and grabs the title belt and starts cleaning house with it…causing all three to leave the ring as Brody bloodied and battered holds up his newly won CCW title. SEMI-MAIN EVENT SIX MAN GRUDGE MATCH Robert Fuller/Ron Fuller/Jimmy Golden fought to a 'No Contest' with The Great Kabuki/Killer Khan/The Missing Link w/Tojo Yammamoto when the match broke down into a melee all around ringside and up the aisle til the ref had to throw the match out MAIN EVENT LOSERS LEAVE TOWN Special Referee: Scott Armstrong The Bullet/Brad Armstrong defeated Ole/Jesse Anderson when the Bullet put Ole Anderson out with a sleeper hold, Dick Slater tried to run in to interfere but Scott put him out of the ring with a 'superkick' as Ole's arm dropped for the third time! Ole and Jesse Anderson are GONE from Continental Championship Wrestling!!

Don't know why but I've always been a big fan of Mr. Saito, hope to see him get a shot at Flair or Fernandez at some point.

Lawler and Abby is tailor made for Smokey Mtn..lots of great tag action here!

Bruno Sammartino showing up has to be a big statement from Lutte in their war with the WWF. Impressive win for Samu over Dory Funk and for Dirty Dutch over Ray Rougeau....strong cards!

What a strong card for the Cow Palace, love that main event, Fabs vs Varsity Club is one match I would have loved to have seen.

Great SNME, What a great way to use the Machine gimmick and test the waters for babyface Piper...8 year Gene would have loved this '85! Hogan vs. Nikita is going to be of the greatest "what if" angles in the game.

CCW TV Recorded on May 16th 1985 at the WTVY Studios in Dothan, AL. in front of a live studio audience Airing on stations throughout the territory on May 18th, 1985 Hosted by Gordon Solie & Joe Pedicino Ring Announcer: Rhubarb Jones (Show opens with the closing moments of the 'Loser leaves Town' match where Ole Anderson defeated Bob Armstrong forcing him to leave the Continental area, We then go to the opening montage and then to the desk with Gordon Solie and Joe Pedicino) Gordon: "Hello and welcome to another exciting hour of Continental Championship Wrestling as myself and Joe Pedicino are still in absolute shock with what occurred last Monday night in Birmingham when Ole Anderson conspired with Dick Slater to cheat Bob Armstrong out of that match, and force him to leave the territory." Joe: "An absolutely disgusting display from those two, Gordon." (Brad Armstrong storms the set, Solie comes around the desk to meet him) Brad: "I certainly agree that was a disgusting display indeed…Ole and Jesse Anderson, I know you are here, if you have an ounce of guts come out here and face me right now!" (The Andersons come out to the desk) Ole: "Ahhh…what's a matter Bradley, scared to be here without Daddy to protect ya?" Brad: "No I'm not….however…..Any chance you wanna double down and have a chance to run one…maybe two more Armstrongs out of Continental?" Ole: "I'm listening, what are you suggesting?" Brad: "I want a shot at revenge….but I want to run BOTH of you Andersons out of here at once….I'm suggesting a TAG TEAM match….myself and a mystery partner, against you and Jesse Anderson and the team that loses…BOTH MEMBERS of the team are GONE!" Ole: "Who is this partner going to be??" Brad: "Is that what your scared of? Why does it matter? You guys claim to be the best, you already schemed a way to get rid of my Dad…You can't do it again? It might be one of my brothers, heck..it might be somebody brand new no one here has seen…but you boys can handle it can't you?" (Ole and Jesse are conferring off mic, Dick Slater comes out and whispers something to them…Ole smiles) Ole: "Let's make this interesting, let's have a singles match on Monday night…Dick Slater against your brother Scott, winner gets to referee this match." Brad: "Hey, all we need is somebody to make it official and it's on!" (UWF Rep Buddy Wayne comes out) Buddy: "Brad, this sounds a little crazy but if you want to sign it, we'll go in the back and make it official." Brad: "Lead the way and we'll make it happen, Mr. Wayne." Gordon: "Well, there you have it Joe…now we have a tag team 'Loser leaves Town' match this week and now Brad Armstrong and his partner could be gone or BOTH Andersons will be out of here." Joe: "What a way to start the show, Let me also mention that Jerry 'The King' Lawler will be here in the studio to challenge Austin Idol for the Continental Heavyweight Championship but right now let's go to the ring for our opening match." ======================================================== MATCH #1- Billy Jack Haynes defeated Ted Allen with the full nelson (Joe Pedicino comes over to ringside to speak to Billy Jack) Joe: "Billy Jack, this Monday night you have a big match with the "Exotic" Adrian Street to determine the #1 Contender for the Southeastern Heavyweight Title….Street is an 'interesting' opponent to say the least." BJH: "Joe, I've got my eyes on that Southeastern title my friend Brad Armstrong holds, as far as Adrian Street and his mind games…I'm not too concerned with any of that…." (Adrian and Linda come out) Adrian: "Mind games? Listen sunshine, Why would I waste my time playing mind games with a big dumb brute from Oregon? You wouldn't know if I did cause you don't have a mind….you've just got a bunch of big muscles but I do kind of like those…" (Adrian rubs BJH's arm and Haynes grabs him by the neck and lifts him into the air, until Linda low blows him from behind, Adrian takes a moment to recover then starts to put the boots to Haynes) "Oh Billy boy, we're going to have a lot of fun Monday in Birmingham but when I'm done having my fun with you, I'll beat you and I'll go on to be the Southeastern champion!" ================================================== COMMERCIAL- CCW action coming to a town near you ================================================== (As we return from the break Freddie Blassie, Austin Idol, and Teddy "Muscles" Arcidi come out to the desk) Blassie: "Gordon Solie, what the heck is going on around here?? We get here today and find out that Idol has a CCW title defense against Jerry 'the King' Lawler, AND this Monday night he has a defense against Bruiser Brody?? Is the company conspiring against the greatest wrestler in the UWF to make sure he isn't in prime condition for his shot against paper champion Dusty Rhodes??" Gordon: "No sir, it's just…" (Idol grabs the mic from Solie) Idol: "That is EXACTLY what it is Solie! There are so many people upset that I won the Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup and they know damn good and well when I get that fat slob Dusty Rhodes in the ring I will be the World Champion and NO ONE will be able to beat me for it…..Bill Watts knows he can't control me….I'm not a puppet like Dusty Rhodes or Jerry Lawler…..I won't do what I'm told, I won't go shake hands and kiss babies like the "American Dweem" will. You want me to wrestle Jerry Lawler today…FINE! I've beat him before and I'll do it again today….but I WILL NOT wrestle Bruiser Brody this Monday night less than a week before my shot at the UWF World title….that man is a menace and and a lunatic and I promise you that match will not take place!" (Jerry Lawler comes out to the desk) Lawler: "You know what Idol, you are absolutely right….that match won't take place cause after I beat you for the Continental title here today, it will be ME defending against Bruiser Brody this Monday night and let me tell you something Austin Idol….I wish you all the luck in the world against Dusty Rhodes in Huntsville because just like I'm going to beat you today for this Continental title, I'll come back and beat you for the World title! See ya in the ring, champ!" (Lawler turns to leave but is jumped from behind by Idol and Arcidi, Arcidi holds Lawler's leg out and Idol takes Blassie's cane and hits him across the kneecap twice before several wrestlers run out to make the save…..Lawler has to be helped back to the dressing room by the Southern Boys) ==================================================== (Bill Dundee comes out laughing) Solie: "I don't see what's so funny Mr. Dundee?" Dundee: "Anytime somebody beats up Jerry Lawler, I think it's hilarious but I'm not here for Jerry Lawler, I want that punk kid Shane Douglas out here that pulled that stunt last week." Solie: "You are referring to him pinning you after a belly to belly suplex, a stunt?" Dundee: "It was a fluke…I underestimated him…but he couldn't beat me again on his best day and my worst…all he has to do is come out here right now and I'll prove it!" Solie: "So since he beat you before you'll put the U.S. Jr. title on the line?" Dundee: "Who mentioned the title? Who has he beat around here to get a title shot?" Solie: "Well last week he beat the champion." Dundee: "Ok smart mouth…..sure, I'll put the belt up…if that's what it takes to get him out here…sure, it's a title match…right here, right now!" (Douglas comes out and throws his t-shirt in Dundee's face and slides in the ring…Dundee throws the shirt down in a rage and slides into the ring as the referee calls for the bell) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATCH #2- U.S. Jr. Title Shane Douglas pinned "Superstar" Bill Dundee once again with a 'belly to belly suplex' in 3:15 to win the U.S. Jr Championship….afterwards Douglas quickly slid out, grabbed the belt, and exited the studio as Dundee was having a meltdown in the ring as the fans went wild! ===================================================== COMMERCIAL- The card for this Monday night: CCW On Tour 1985 Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, Alabama Monday May 20, 1985 Bell time- 7:30pm MAIN EVENT LOSERS LEAVE TOWN Brad Armstrong/Mystery Partner Vs.

Smothers: "That's right man, those Irwin Brothers attacked us and cost us the biggest match of our lives up to that point and we've been asking when we would get our rightful title shot, well now we get the best of both because not only are we getting a shot at the belts, but we get a shot at revenge as well….Long Riders, get ready because when you get in the ring with the Wild Eyed Southern Boys, it's dang sure going to be a long hard ride and you won't come out on top of this one we promise you that!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Back at the desk Gordon Solie is joined by CCW newcomer David Sammartino) Gordon: "I wanna welcome right now a man you'll be seeing in the ring very soon, we're very excited to have him here in Continental Championship Wrestling, of course the son of the legendary Bruno Sammartino and fresh off competing at the huge Wrestlemania event at Madison Square Garden in New York City." David: "Thank you Gordon, I'm excited to be here and I'm looking forward to building on the Sammartino name in a completely different part of the country than where my father competed…I'm not here to ride off the family name, I'm here to build my own legacy and I'll be watching today's main event very closely as one day I hope to compete for that Continental Heavyweight Title. After heinous attack that took place out here earlier, I'm very concerned for 'the King's' health but he says he's going to compete so I'll be keeping an eye on that one for sure." =========================================================== MATCH #3- The Andersons (Ole/Jesse) defeated Porkchop Cash/Denny Brown when Ole made Brown submit to an armbar =========================================================== COMMERCIAL- Tickets on sale NOW for Rocket City Rumble!!

Grappler #1- "It doesn't matter we got the last laugh and now they've gone to the promoters and demanded another match with us…..which kind of put the ball in our court Charlie Platt…..So we told them, sure we'll fight the Nightmares again….but it's going to be a 'First Blood' match. (laughs) Do you know how easy it will be Charlie Platt to open their head up again after we just did it last week? Not to mention, it's kind of hard to bust us open through a mask.

Secondly, where does it say…first man bleeding from the head?? We can make them bleed anywhere on their body and win this match!"

CCW News and Rumors ​​​- Beginning in June- TV Tapings are being moved to every other Wednesday night at the Studio in Dothan, to help work around the other UWF taping schedules to make it easier to share certain talent. - Look for a huge turnover in talent in June as there as several trades in the works that will move some major players out of CCW but also bring some major players in that should really help heat up the summer months and kick things into high gear. - The summer shows will be part of the 'CCW Summer Heatwave Tour '85' that will run from June til August culminating with a huge supercard 'Beach Brawl' in Panama City, Florida on August 25th. Word has it that Bill Watts is looking to air this live in some of CCW's major markets and that Buddy Wayne and Ron Fuller are lobbying to put it on TBS since it will be a joint effort from the UWF. - Rumors are floating around that Jimmy Valiant is not happy with the way Johnny Valiant was abruptly ousted from the company, nor the way he's been used thus far and may be looking to go elsewhere very soon. It's also said that despite being the current tag champs Bill/Scott Irwin are unhappy and may be looking for a change as well. - According to our sources, The Midnight Rockers already have a start date with another promotion and are just biding their time til they can leave Alabama, thus the reason they appear randomly on cards and haven't had a sustainable push. - A wrestler who was backstage at the May 16th TV Tapings said that Jerry Lawler was so angry about the angle they had him do on the first show they recorded that he walked out before the second set of tapings and told Ron Fuller that he will not be back.

Loving the impact the Ragin Bull has made in a short amount of time here in Mid Atlantic! Enjoying watching the Great Kokina develope here, hope he makes it down Alabama eventually.

Loving these tours....CCW may want to send The Southern Boys or the Nightmares over for tour at some point for some great experience.

Love what you are doing with Fatu and Samu....would love to see them tie up with Magnum and Windham sometime. Funk/Magnum/Windham could all be great believable NWA World champions with the great build up here and in Mid Atlantic.

Duggan as a Freebird is going to be an interesting ride..... Finally The Midnight Express come together along with Cornette...Road Warriors better watch their back.

You've done a great a job making the Machines a fun addition on any card. So many great heels for Hogan to work with here, always enjoyed Hogan vs. Studd when I was a kid. Tough break for the Fantastics, they'll be back soon I'm sure.

Awesome roster with some really fun match ups, loving Orndorff as champ and what a great defense against Rude.

Great stuff developing here, you do such a great job with old school southern wrestling... As mentioned positioning Starr/Lucas above Lawler and the Rock & Rolls raised their stock in the fans eyes.

CCW would like to book Bruiser Brody for 6/3, 6/8, 6/10, 6/12, 6/15, 6/17, 6/22, 6/24, 6/26
