NWA Lutte Internationale TV
March 8th, 1986
Chetwynd, BC
(After the opening credits, we go to the broadcast booth to kick off this week’s show.)
Guy Hauray: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, as we come to you live from Chetwynd, British Columbia for this week’s event. A huge night ahead of us as we got lots of singles action tonight as well as an interview with our TV champion, Adrian Adonis, as requested per Paul E. Dangerously.
Édouard Carpentier: I don’t know what he wants this time but it sure will be interesting to hear.
Guy Hauray: But first, without any further adieu, let’s welcome our guest at this time, he’s a member of the Four Horsemen, none other than Tully Blanchard!
(Tully Blanchard walks to the set already wearing his wrestling gear but sporting a white polo shirt with sunglasses.)
Guy Hauray: Tully Blanchard, welcome to Lutte Internationale.
Tully Blanchard: Thank you sir....Everywhere the Horsemen go, it’s always the same thing. People say: “The Horsemen are in town!” and women go crazy (We can hear perceptible wooing from the female members in the audience).....See what I mean, Guy! And while we’re always ready to party all night long and have some fun, the Four Horsemen are always about one thing; taking care of business. Last night in Bowmanville, ON, myself, along with the NWA World Tag Team Champions The Andersons and NWA Canadian International TV Champion Adrian Adonis, we took care of business and we did what we do best. But the one thing that we all noticed is that none of the Rougeau Brothers were in attendance. They were nowhere to be found. Missing in action....
Guy Hauray: With all due respect, we both know that Jacques Rougeau is pretty much spending the whole month away defending this title everywhere in the National Wrestling Alliance so of course, he wasn’t there.
Tully Blanchard: You can defend them all you want, sir, but the fact of the matter is this; the Rougeaus are scared to death of the Four Horsemen. The Horsemen have already proven they’re the greatest faction in professional wrestling. Through all the time the Rougeaus were NWA World Tag Team Champions, they didn’t dare to come to Mid-Atlantic and defend their titles against the Andersons. And since the Andersons won the titles at Starrcade, you’re not seeing them either. So, this proves my point all along and....Oh, there you are, tough guy. Care to defend yourself now?
(Tully is referring to Raymond Rougeau, who just burst on the set, visibly angry by Tully Blanchard’s comments.)
Raymond Rougeau: Let me make one thing perfectly clear, Blanchard. The reason why the Andersons never got a title shot against us when Jacques and I were champions is because you never earned one. Always taking cheapshots, sneak attacks, night after night. Trust me, we’ve never feared anybody, especially not the Andersons or the Four Horsemen in its entirety.
Tully Blanchard: You expect me to buy that, Ray? While we’re at it, are you gonna tell me that your father Jacques Sr and your uncle Johnny were better than my dad too? Spare me the crap, buddy. We both know that you can’t hold a candle to what I can do in the ring. I would wipe the floor with you any given day and you know it.
Raymond Rougeau: Oh, is that so, Tully? Well, I see that you got your wrestling gear on and I also brought with me my wrestling gear so let’s find out who’s right. Tully Blanchard, how about you show me what you’re really made of in that ring tonight?
Tully Blanchard (looking at Guy Hauray): Is he serious? You’re kidding, right? I’ll tell you what, pretty boy. I’m gonna make you regret tonight the day you even decided to follow your family’s footsteps and step inside a wrestling ring. While your family might be royalty here, so is my family in San Antonio and I can assure you that I’m infinitely better than you’ll ever be. So tonight, my friend, get ready because I’m gonna teach you a lesson that you’ll never forget; Diamonds are forever, so is Tully Blanchard....so are the Four Horsemen.
(Tully Blanchard walks away with a smug look on his face and before leaving, Raymond also has one last thing to say.)
Raymond Rougeau: Trust me, Guy, I’m gonna wipe that smug look off his face. I’m gonna beat him tonight and send him back packing in Mid-Atlantic!
(Crowd cheers as Raymond Rougeau returns backstage)
Guy Hauray: Eddie, looks like we have a blockbuster main event tonight: Tully Blanchard squaring off against Raymond Rougeau!
Édouard Carpentier: Two wrestling families royalty represented in there; The Rougeaus and the Blanchards and we know that both are extremely skilled. This will be an incredible main event tonight.
Guy Hauray: It sure will but since we’ve got plenty of action, let’s not waste any more time and get ready for our opening contest of the night!
Match #1
Jos LeDuc beat Bobby Fulton in 8:46 with a bearhug. The broadcast team noticed that just like his partner Tommy Rogers last week, Fulton used a more aggressive style to try beating LeDuc tonight, obviously also inspired by their excursion in Japan last month.
Match #2
“The Blonde Bombshell” Chris Candido beat “Mr. Electricity” Steve Regal in 3:49 with the Suicide Blond diving headbutt. An impressive performance by Candido, fuelled by his great showing in Wild West Wrestling in the past few weeks!
*****COMMERCIAL BREAK******
Match #3
Pirata Morgan beat Lord Humongous (w/Eddy “The Brain” Creatchman) in 9:47. After the match, Satanico ran in to try shaving Morgan’s head but to no avail. Meanwhile, it’s announced that Lord Humongous will be facing off The Missing Link NEXT WEEK in Thunder Bay, ON!
Match #4
Richard “Le Magnifique” Charland (w/Frenchy Martin) beat Prince Alofa Fatu (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 10:45 with a piledriver. Finally, Charland gets the upper hand over a Creatchman Family member without retaliation!
******COMMERCIAL BREAK******
Guy Hauray: Welcome back to NWA Lutte Internationale TV. Now, please welcome at this time the NWA Canadian International TV Champion Adrian Adonis, along with his security detail, the Nasty Boys and his manager Paul E. Dangerously.
(Adrian Adonis comes out with his whole entourage and stations himself at the broadcast booth, right behind Paul E and between the Nasty Boys)
Guy Hauray: Well, Paul, another week goes by and your protégé Adrian Adonis still retains his TV championship under questionable circumstances. However, what’s coming up for you next week is a little bit different as Adonis will be involved in tag team action.
Paul E. Dangerously: Now, I feel insulted, sir. You’re implying that Adrian isn’t worthy of being the TV champion, aren’t you?
Guy Hauray: No, I just stated---
Paul E. Dangerously: The obvious? Is it what you were about to say? The fact remains that Adrian Adonis is currently the TV champion and it doesn’t matter how he wins the match. What matters is that he DOES win the match. That’s the bottom line. People remember WINNERS at the end of the day. And I’d like to believe that my friend Adrian is a pretty good winner. Now, you were saying that Adrian’s got a tag match next week, am I correct, sir?
Guy Hauray: Yes, indeed.
Paul E. Dangerously: And who would be those opponents?
Guy Hauray: That would be 2 young stars from WWC, Huracan Castillo Jr & Miguelito Perez.
Paul E. Dangerously: Oh, isn’t that wonderful. Those 2 young men who dared answer those dangerous Samoans’ challenge at Starrcade....Geez, I mean, what are we gonna do? I might ask Adrian to step aside and let the Nasty Boys handle it, right?
(Everyone laughs sarcastically)
Paul E. Dangerously: Of course, we won’t. Adrian is a champion. Adrian is a star. And Adrian Adonis isn’t afraid of anybody. But not anybody can be Adrian’s partner. Not anybody is suited to be Adrian’s tag team partner. Because to be Adrian’s tag team partner, one must understand that, in movie lingo, Adrian is the lead actor and the tag team partner is the supporting cast.
Guy Hauray: And who here would be suited to be Adrian Adonis “supporting actor”?
Paul E. Dangerously: See, that’s the thing, here. No one here is fitting to play the part. I will have to look elsewhere to do so. As a matter of fact, I may place a call somewhere in Dallas or hell, I might just show up in Dallas myself to do some scouting and find a partner for Adrian. But one thing is for sure; next week, those young Porto Ricans will find out that there is only one Adrian Adonis. Only one man deserving of being the NWA Canadian International TV Champion. And you’re looking at him right now: ADRIAN ADONIS!
(Paul E and his motley crew are about to leave when all of a sudden, “Maniac” Matt Borne shows up on set. Borne is wearing his D’Artagnan makeup on the left half of his face and his D’Artagnan gear is a bit ripped up. Paul E takes a step back as Adrian Adonis steps forward to face Borne. Adonis is trying to intimidate Matt Borne but it doesn’t seem to rattle Borne. On the contrary. Borne is cracking a huge smile. Then, Borne makes a step forward towards Adonis, raises his index finger and touches Adonis’ nose and says “Boop!” before starting to laugh incontrollably. Borne turns away and retreats backstage, still laughing. Adonis is completely stunned by what just happened as Paul E is trying to figure out something to say to defuse the situation as he must also deal with the unnerved Nasty Boys. Finally, Paul E retreats backstage as well.)
Édouard Carpentier: Guy, what did we just witness?
Guy Hauray: I honestly have no idea. It was absolutely surreal. It looks like “Maniac” Matt Borne is now tapping into his D’Artagnan persona to get under the skin of Adrian Adonis. I don’t know yet if it works but he certainly now has the attention of that Dangerous Alliance.
Édouard Carpentier: And I believe that if given a chance, Matt Borne could very well dethrone Adonis if he continues on that path. I don’t know who Paul E. will select as Adonis’ tag team partner next week but it sure will be interesting.
Guy Hauray: On that note, we’re ready to go back in action as we’ll see Mid Atlantic’s Brett Sawyer in singles competition!
Match #5
Brett Sawyer beat Gilles “The Fish” Poisson in 14:32 with an inside cradle. Crowd seemed solidly behind Sawyer in this one!
Match #6
Mid-Atlantic Showcase
“The Great One” David Sammartino beat “Nightmare” Ken Wayne in 16:45 with a Figure Four Leglock. Crowd definitely got under Sammartino’s skin in that one!
*****COMMERCIAL BREAK*****
Match #7
NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champion Mad Dog Vachon beat Keith Hart in 8:45 with a bearhug. It’s announced that next week in the main event, the Vachons will be defending the NWA Canadian International Tag Team Championship against the Harts in Thunder Bay!
MAIN EVENT
Match #8
Tully Blanchard beat Raymond Rougeau in 14:32 after using a roll of coins while senior referee Luigi Macera was retying a turnbuckle pad in a corner!
À LA SEMAINE PROCHAINE SI DIEU LE VEUT!
