The top post has been updated with the latest entries.

Man, The Missing Link & Jimmy Jack Funk are a duo I wouldn't want to mess with!

Verne Gagne contacted Lutte Internationale management to announce they're sending Roddy Piper, Buddy Rose, Leon White & Brian Pillman for the tournament. Official list updated in the top post.

Next entrant for Lutte Internationale, representing The Creatchman Family, The Botswana Beast!

YES! Piper & Ace reunited at last!!!

I'm having a blast with this version of the Sawyer vs Rich feud. It's not Buzz vs Tommy but they still garnering some serious heat, which is very enjoyable!

That's one helluva second for Hogan to have in the main event to protect him from Boss Man!

Updated!

Updated!

Looking so much forward to the Caribbean Tag Titles match next week!!!!

List of entrants updated!

Lutte announces its 2nd entry in the tournament: one half of the Fantastics, Tommy Rogers!

Flying a bit under the radar is the fact that The Pringle Dynasty is firing all cylinders right now. Picking up major victories left and right seemingly in every event. Big John Studd sure is the force to be reckoned with right now in World Class.

Lutte got word from JWA management earlier tonight that they will send Giant Baba, Jumbo Tsuruta, Toshiaki Kawada & Shinya Hashimoto for the tournament!

Really digging the pairing of Alexis Smirnoff & The Iron Sheik together. Imagine that duo added to Paul Jones' Army!

Giving you the heads-up that the 3rd annual Johnny Rougeau Memorial Cup will take place at the Montreal Forum from May 1 to May 3, 1986 and it's open to every willing promotion to enter. 4 wrestlers by promotion. I will complete the field with freelancers if necessary. Take your time, though. Just send those names when you'll be ready

Does anyone know where has gone Roddy Piper after Starrcade? Since January 1, most of us lost track of where he has gone.

When the Horsemen thought they had everything figured out, Magnum TA upps the ante with his own dream team. The Omni will be rocking on March 11!

Actually, it was a non-title match between the Vachons & Los Infernales. This was mostly used to further the Los Infernales angle going on

As I said in my latest dirt sheets, you can expect some interesting stuff from Adonis in the upcoming weeks and months. I bet you're gonna get a kick out of this.

Really intrigued by Hansen vs Andre. This should be an awesome match.

NWA Lutte Internationale TV LIVE March 4th, 1986 London, ON (After the opening credits, we go to the broadcast booth at ringside, where are waiting Guy Hauray & Édouard Carpentier to kick us off) Guy Hauray: Well, the weather might’ve prevented us to go live on Saturday night right here in London. But it sure wasn’t strong enough to keep us going live tonight. And same will apply tomorrow for our great fans in Victoria, BC. We’re finally coming to you live tonight from London, ON on this Tuesday night and it sure will be exciting. Édouard Carpentier: Luckily, the bad weather didn’t prevent our representatives in the National Tag Team Championship tournament to fly over there and proudly represent us. Congratulations to everyone involved as you all performed fantastic. Guy Hauray: We’ve got another great show for you this week as for our main event, we will do things a little different as the ladies will take center stage tonight. Right here, in our main event, The Fabulous Moolah will be defending the NWA World Women’s Championship against Wendi Richter in what should be a great match. Édouard Carpentier: Absolutely, Guy. This is Moolah’s biggest match since she retained her title at Starrcade in controversial fashion. We haven’t heard or seen Madusa since and it makes us wonder if the result of that match took her toll on her. Guy Hauray: And as we usually do now, we have some guests from our partner promotions in the National Wrestling Alliance. The man now known as Big Bubba, will be in action a bit later, as he’ll wrestle Prince Alofa Fatu. But up first, one half of Paul Jones’ Devil’s Duo, Jeff Sword is in action in our opening match and it’s gonna be Falls Count Anywhere, as well! Match #1 Falls Count Anywhere Jeff Sword beat MS-1 in 6:07 after interference from Satanico with a chairshot. Pirata Morgan came out to run off Satanico but it looks like Satanico and Morgan will square off a bit later on tonight! Match #2 Farmer Boy Ipo (w/Hillbilly Jim) upsets Keith Hart in 9:02 with a top rope splash. After the match, Hillbilly Jim & Ipo go to the broadcast booth. Édouard Carpentier: Well, Jim, I must say that you’ve been doing a pretty good job coaching Farmer Boy Ipo recently. A big win for him against a very formidable opponent in Keith Hart. Hillbilly Jim: Well, thank you sir. You know, there’s been so much talk all of the Samoans in professional wrestling, whether it is the Wild Samoans, Afa & Sika or now Samu & Fatu in the Creatchman Family. But they always seem to forget that there’s more than one Samoan lineage in this business. And right now this is gonna play in my friend Ipo’s favour. Édouard Carpentier: And what are your plans for Ipo in the upcoming months? Hillbilly Jim: Well, let’s not kid ourselves, there is a lot of competition not only here in Lutte Internationale, but also in the whole National Wrestling Alliance. A lot of great wrestlers & champions all around. But I want the people to see that not all Samoans are savages or monsters. There are some decent Samoans in this business and my friend Ipo is one of them. He can sure fight with the best of them but he can also do it within the rules. In 1996, the world will see what Farmer Boy Ipo is all about. The next time we appear on this show, I can guarantee you that Ipo will do something that will amaze the world. (Hillbilly Jim & Farmer Boy Ipo leave to the back.) Guy Hauray: I wonder what Jim was talking about. Any idea, Eddie? Édouard Carpentier: I think that Jim wants Ipo to step out of the shadow of the other Samoans in professional wrestling. It’s gonna be a hard task ahead but time will tell if he’ll be able to do so. Guy Hauray: After the commercial break, for the first time since the Fantastics’ trip to Japan, Tommy Rogers is in action! *****COMMERCIAL BREAK***** Match #3 Tommy Rogers beat The Great Samu (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 8:58 with an innovative move that he called the Tommyknocker. The broadcast team noticed that Rogers used a more aggressive style to compliment his high-flying match, probably as a result of The Fantastics’ matchup vs Power Rush in Japan a few days back. Match #4 Pirata Morgan beat Satanico in 9:26 after MS-1 returned the favour from earlier in the night when Satanico cost MS-1 the match vs Jeff Sword. Only this time, afterwards, Morgan and MS-1 shaved Satanico’s head bald!!! *****COMMERCIAL BREAK***** Match #5 The Botswana Beast (w/Eddy & Floyd Creatchman) beat Richard Charland in 6:02 after Charland was distracted by Killer Khan & Prince Alofa Fatu attacking Frenchy Martin (who still was trying to recover from Jim Duggan’s assault last week). After the match, Charland went to the broadcast booth, visibly irate. Richard Charland: I’ve had enough of the Creatchman Family. Of course, now that our new allies, the Stud Stable, are back in Mid-Atlantic, you choose that time to constantly attack me and my manager Frenchy? Killer Khan, one day, I’m gonna get my hands on you again...no....WE are gonna get our hands on you and will make you regret that you ever came here. But in the meantime, Prince Alofa Fatu, if you’re man enough, you’ll face me in Chetwynd, BC live on TV this Saturday. And trust me, whether you like it or not, I’m gonna get my answer before this night is over. (Richard Charland leaves to the back with a roughed up Frenchy Martin) Guy Hauray: This has been a rough couple of weeks for Richard Charland ever since the arrival of Killer Khan in Lutte Internationale, who chose Richard Charland for some reason as his first victim. Now, he has the whole Creatchman Family after him. Édouard Carpentier: This territory has become like a mob turf war as everyone wants the biggest piece of the cake in here. Thus why, it has become primordial for some men, some teams and some other stables to form alliances with other men, teams and stables in the NWA to ensure their survival in here. Things are about to get nasty. Guy Hauray: Alright, now buckle up because we’re about to see some fun tag team action as Owen Hart is joining his brother Bruce this week, taking a short hiatus from his excursion to Puerto Rico to take on the team of Chris Benoit & Gino Brito. Here we go! Match #6 The Hart Brothers beat NWA World Light Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit & Gino Brito in 17:42 after Owen used the ropes for leverage on Gino Brito after a sunset flip attempt. Bruce seemed a bit angry at Owen for doing that but Owen simply answered he did what he had to do to give the win to his team... ****COMMERCIAL BREAK**** Match #7 Prince Alofa Fatu (w/Floyd Creatchman) beat Big Bubba (Fred Ottman) in 13:23 after a top rope splash and Floyd Creatchman holding Big Bubba’s foot from outside. After the match, Richard Charland ran in to attack Prince Alofa Fatu to avenge the Creatchmans attack on Frenchy earlier tonight! Referees are needed to separate both men as Floyd instructs Fatu to the back. Guy Hauray: Things are about to explode here between Richard Charland and Prince Alofa Fatu. And I’m just being informed that this Saturday, in our next live TV from Chetwynd, BC, Richard Charland will go one-on-one with Prince Alofa Fatu! Édouard Carpentier: And you can bet that the rest of the Creatchman Family won’t be too far behind so I hope that Charland better have a plan of action to guarantee a win. Guy Hauray: Also, throughout the month of March, we will have various Mid-Atlantic Showcase matches on TV and in our live events. And this will start this Saturday as “The Great One” David Sammartino will take on one half of the Nightmares, Ken Wayne. Édouard Carpentier: Ken Wayne is no slouch himself as he delivered a solid performance against Rick Martel in a NWA World title match recently so he’s gonna be one tough customer for David Sammartino. And let’s see if David’s father, Bruno, will have something to say about this one. Guy Hauray: Whoa...hold on....I just received some word that we have major news in regards to this Saturday....The Horsemen are coming. Yes, this Friday night, Tully Blanchard & the NWA World Tag Team Champions the Andersons will be in action in Bowmanville, ON but the following night, live on our next show, Tully Blanchard will be right here and will have something to say! Édouard Carpentier: This is huge news, Guy. The Horsemen are riding high after Ric Flair captured the NWA US Heavyweight Championship at Battle of the Belts from Magnum TA. They’re riding a wave of momentum for the first time since Starrcade. I’m now wondering if Tully is coming here to avenge Ric Flair’s loss to Rick Martel at Starrcade. Guy Hauray: We’ll see but from one world champion to the other, it’s time for our main event. The ladies are taking center stage in this world title match! MAIN EVENT NWA World Women’s Championship The Fabulous Moolah beat Wendi Richter in 52:39 with a small package to retain À LA SEMAINE PROCHAINE SI DIEU LE VEUT!
