Can't wait. Got some stuff of my own to break soon as well

The Strong Rules tag tourney match will be fun.

Hey, no worries about that. What matters is that we get the gist of where you're going with your angles & such. It's fun for us to imagine differently than the others what went on in a particular match. That's the best part of reading those cards.

HOLIDAY WARS November 30th, 1985 Centre Paul-Sauvé, Montréal, QC Co-branded event with World Class Championship Wrestling -Thunderbolt Patterson beat Prince Alofa Fatu (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 12:55 -Bruiser Brody beat "Ace" Bob Orton (w/Sherri Martel) in 14:25. Sherri wasn't really happy about this turn of events! 6-Men Tag: The Fabulous Freebirds beat Steve Strong & The Midnight Rockers after Terry Gordy pinned Steve Strong Handicap Match: The Great Kokina beat "Maniac" Matt Borne & Richard "Le Magnifique" Charland (w/Frenchy Martin) in 14:14 6-Men Tag: Jos LeDuc, Chris Benoit & The Great Samu (w/Floyd Creatchman) beat Dick Murdoch, Wahoo McDaniel & Blackjack Mulligan when LeDuc pinned Wahoo! Quebec Heavyweight Championship: Armand Rougeau beat Boris Zhukov in 10:47 after a botched interference from Baron Von Raschke to begin his 2nd reign as Quebec Heavyweight Champion! - TITLE CHANGE!!!

Lots of solid shows overall. The tag team tournament was really fun and both Loser Leaves Town matches were really good as well. Nick Bockwinkel is still the man in the AWA!

Actually, I saw this pop online and it has to do with a series of books called the Ruby Riot Series.

November 29th, 1985 Mistassini, QC -Buddy Rose beat The Great Samu (w/Floyd Creatchman) in 17:22 -Rick Martel beat NWA World Tag Team Champion Botswana Beast (w/Eddy "The Brain" Creatchman) in 17:39 -Alexis Smirnoff beat Bob Orton (w/Sherri Martel) in 14:31 -Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody beat Gino Brito & Matt Borne in 25:10 when Borne walked out on Brito! -"Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal beat "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers (w/Sherri Martel) in 15:58 -Shawn Michaels beat Bruce Hart in 7:30 -NWA World Tag Team Champion Lord Humongous (w/Eddy "the Brain" Creatchman) beat Owen Hart in 11:44 Handicap Match: Abdullah the Butcher beat Bob Backlund & Thunderbolt Patterson

I think that The Shield reunion also helped Roman with the fans recently. You don't nearly see the kind of reaction he had ever since he's back with Seth & Dean. I'm curious to know how long they're gonna stretch the Shield reunion in hopes to keep Roman's crowd reaction the way it is right now.

Even if it's only a battle royal, HUGE win for Gino Hernandez in that battle royal. I bet that a WWF title match could be in store for Wrestlemania II? Or at least, Saturday Night Main Event soon.

"Hey baby, how are you doing?" Gino couldn't believe it; Jimmy Hart was at the other end of the phone line. Gino: "Jimmy, that's a surprise. What can I do for you?" Jimmy: "Well, you probably heard that Vince is doing some shows in the Northeast with Jerry Jarrett." Gino: "So, I heard. I'm sure you and your guys are gonna have a blast." Jimmy: "Well, that's the thing, baby, I'm not booked." Gino: "Wait, what? You're not booked. With all the things you did in Memphis with Jerry Lawler?" Jimmy: "I know for some reasons, Vince chose some guys. And a lot of the other guys were left in the cold." Gino: "Wow, sorry to hear that." Jimmy: "Well, all the guys that Vince raided from you in the mid-80's; they're among them. They're not booked either." Gino: "OK, but why are you telling me this?" Jimmy: "Because, I think that with everything Dino, the Rougeaus and Rick told me, Vince robbed you of your living. Montreal was such a great territory with the best reputation you could ever have. I think you should have another shot, baby." Gino: "Get to the point, Jimmy." Jimmy: "Dino, Jacques, Raymond, Rick....everyone, they wanna stick it to McMahon. They wanna come back and blow the roof out of the Forum. They really wanna do this." Gino: "Well, that's all good, Jimmy, but I'm gonna need more than 4 guys." Jimmy: "Just give me a couple of days to convince you, baby. I'm gonna find some other guys and we're gonna get this thing going." Gino: "OK but ----" Jimmy Hart hung up before Gino could even complete his sentence. Gino had that weird feeling in his gut. He didn't know what it was. It certainly wasn't distrust because Jimmy Hart never had that reputation in the business, period. Maybe it was the chance to finish what his father Jack Britton had started decades ago. What the likes of Eddy Auger & Yvon Robert had done before him. Resurrecting pro wrestling in Montreal. TO BE CONTINUED

When Lutte Internationale/International Wrestling was raided in the mid-80's by Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation, it meant the end of a golden age of professional wrestling in the province of Quebec. With its top stars gone for greener pastures in Stamford, despite securing a partnership with World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico, Gino Brito found himself in the obligation to close the doors of Lutte Internationale. For many years, the province was starving and could only rely in local upstarts, looking to fill the void that Lutte Internationale had left. However, on a Monday morning, the former head booker of Lutte and member of Varoussac Promotions received a phone call suggesting an offer that he couldn't refuse; a chance to see Lutte rise from its ashes with all of their top stars. But who was at the other end of the line? You wouldn't actually believe it...and neither could Gino Brito! TO BE CONTINUED.

I don't think there's a hotter heel in Puerto Rico other than Al Madril right now. Dastardly duo with Chicky Starr!

Wow, that's a major major turn of events, especially in Dusty's leaving. The tide has turned in UWF. Who can stop the Russians?

I want Del Wilkes to be rechristened Delmonte Wilkes and come out wearing a tux.

November 24th, 1985 Woburn, QC -The Creatchman Family (Prince Alofa Fatu & The Great Samu, w/Floyd Creatchman) beat The Sensationals (Bob Orton & Bobby Jaggers) in 11:32 -Shawn Michaels beat Richard "Le Magnifique" Charland (w/Frenchy Martin) in 9:40 -Armand Rougeau beat "Maniac" Matt Borne in 6:46. Seems like the clown gear & half-face paint is the new theme for Matt Borne as he was still wearing it for this match. -Sherri Martel & Susan Star beat Princess Victoria & Leilani Kai in 8:58 Special Attraction: Abdullah the Butcher (w/Eddy "The Brain" Creatchman) beat Buddy Rose in 4:34 -Rick Martel beat Billy Robinson in 9:47 NWA World Women's Championship: The Fabulous Moolah beat Madusa Miceli in 10:01 to retain NWA World Tag Team Championship: Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen vs NWA World Tag Team Champions Botswana Beast & Lord Humongous (w/Eddy "The Brain" Creatchman) ends in a no-contest after interference from Abdullah the Butcher & Buddy Rose at 39:30! A massive brawl ensued around the ring with Brody, Hansen & Rose standing tall!

I totally was unaware that there was another Long Riders team other than Bill & Scott Irwin.

Looking at your roster, this would apply to just about any possible matchup.

For sure. I hope that the Money Inc. stable becomes a Million Dollar Corporation/York Foundation hybrid.

This really has me intrigued!

I want Kensuke Sasaki vs Bob Backlund for no reason whatsoever.

Really looks like we're getting Braun vs Triple H at Wrestlemania. At least, that's my gut feeling.

There always was a debate about who was truly the star between Dino Bravo and Rick Martel in Lutte Internationale back then. Majority said it was Rick because he also was AWA World Champion around that time but people don't realize how over Dino was in Montreal. Their rivalry was quite legit, despite both being babyfaces at the time.

Featuring your local favorites like: -RICK MARTEL -DINO BRAVO -THE FABULOUS ROUGEAU BROTHERS -JOS LEDUC -RON GARVIN And with international stars like -BRET HART -THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS -THE BRITISH BULLDOGS AND SO MUCH MORE! More details coming soon!

Al Perez is getting some spotlight and I like it. You can plug anyone in the main event slot for one night and it works. That's the sign of a well-balanced roster.

***This week's NWA Lutte Internationale TV was a special recap/hype episode leading up to the live Holiday Wars TV special airing next Saturday Night at the Centre Paul-Sauvé in Montreal.
