Oh man, Inoki vs Choshu could already be the finals of that tournament! Very solid!

Absolutely. SNME will be a fantastic card!

The Andersons debut was just pure gold. It was everything I could've asked for as a fan!

Oh, you didn't sound negative at all. It's important to know this kind of stuff to improve our writing & such.

Thanks for the feedback. Always appreciated to see where I could improve on some stuff.

NWA Lutte Internationale TV Taped at CHLT-TV Studios, Sherbrooke, QC Broadcasted June 29th, 1985 (After the opening credits, we go straight to the broadcast booth for the start of the show) Guy Hauray: Good morning everyone and welcome to NWA Lutte Internationale TV. Before we go with this week’s action, we need to address many situations as after last night’s Pre-Bash event in Charlotte, North Carolina, the complexion of NWA Lutte Internationale has drastically changed as every championship defended last night changed hands! Édouard Carpentier: Lots of surprises last night and we’ll start by the unofficial title changing hands as Billy Robinson’s Sensational Heavyweight Championship changed hands last night after Armand Rougeau defeated Robinson to win the title and Billy Robinson is absolutely livid about this. Guy Hauray: Definitely not what the Sensationals were hoping for last night to kick off the show in Charlotte and before we go any further, it’s with great pleasure that we welcome both Armand Rougeau and the NWA Enforcer in the territory, the Living Legend Bruno Sammartino. (Armand Rougeau and Bruno Sammartino walk onto the set. Bruno Sammartino is holding a bag with something inside.) Édouard Carpentier: First of all, Armand, congratulations on your victory last night. Armand Rougeau: Merci, monsieur Carpentier. Je pourrais pas être plus heureux présentement parce qu’enfin, y a quelqu’un qui a réussi à fermer la trappe de Billy Robinson pis y était temps que ça se produise. Je suis juste content que ce soit moi qui ait pu le faire. (Translation : Thank you, Mr. Carpentier. I couldn’t be happier right now because finally, someone shut Billy Robinson’s trap and it was about time for this to happen. I’m just glad it was I who could do it.) Bruno Sammartino: Allow me, young man, to extend my congratulations to you for your victory last night in Charlotte. I know that this was your only date on the Pre-Bash tour and you’re happy about your performance but I think I’m gonna give you an extra reason to be happy right now. (Bruno Sammartino retrieves a championship belt from the bag he was carrying. It is a blue & silver belt with the Quebec fleur de lys being prominently displayed.) Bruno Sammartino: If we are to have titles defended around here, let’s make sure that they’re now official championships sanctioned by a governing body. I spoke on the phone with Mr. Jim Crockett and other NWA executives and after discussions, they gave me the green light to make this official. As of right now, Armand Rougeau is the inaugural Quebec Heavyweight Champion. While this won’t be an official NWA championship, it will still be sanctioned here in Lutte Internationale and be defended on a regular basis. So, Armand, this is yours. You’re now a champion, just like your brothers were. I have no doubt that you’ll make your family proud. Armand Rougeau: Thank you, Mr. Sammartino. It is truly an honor. Especially fighting & defending this championship for my fellow Quebecers , I will promise you that I’ll make this championship as important as any other championship in this territory. I’m forever grateful. (Armand Rougeau and Bruno Sammartino shake hands and they leave from an opposite side.) Guy Hauray: The second title change that took place in Charlotte last night was the NWA Canadian International Tag Team Championship. The Midnight Rockers asked Gino Brito & Rick Martel for one shot and one shot is all that they needed. In another stunning upset, the Midnight Rockers are our brand new NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champions. Édouard Carpentier: Some might say that it was a fluke but when you think about it, Guy, many teams had failed right up until now to beat Gino Brito & Rick Martel for those titles. And yet, the Midnight Rockers did it in their first opportunity at those belts. I don’t wanna say that Gino & Rick took the the new champions lightly but I’m not convinced the result would be the same in a rematch. Guy Hauray: That remains to be seen and while we congratulate the new NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champions, it is very hard to do the same to the new NWA World Tag Team Champions as Eddy “The Brain” Creatchman has finally accomplished what he had set out to do since the rebirth of this territory around 1 year ago to the day. He wanted to humiliate the Rougeau Brothers and that’s exactly what happened as The Creatchman Family has captured the NWA World Tag Team Championship, not without controversy. Édouard Carpentier: Like if the Botswana Beast & Lord Humongous aren’t already hard to stop, it also took for Eddy Creatchman to throw something in Raymond Rougeau’s face – some kind of powder – to blind him long enough to allow his monsters to get the pin and win the titles. Realistically now, Guy, who in the entire National Wrestling Alliance – or in the world – for that matter can stop The Creatchman Family now? You know that The Brain can also count on The Great Samu and Prince Alofa Fatu to ensure his monsters retain their championship. The Creatchman Family shakeup from several weeks ago most definitely paid off for them. Guy Hauray: And of course, THE shocker of the night in Charlotte: Terry Funk lost the NWA Canadian International Heavyweight Championship. But that’s not the surprising part. The surprising part is to whom he lost it, Eddie. He lost it to none other than ANDRE THE GIANT! And the crowd literally exploded when that happened. Édouard Carpentier: Absolutely nobody expected this turn of events. Especially that Andre is coming back from a successful tour in Japan for the JWA and their Festival of Champions. We were expecting Andre to return to New York after that tour but upon hearing about Terry Funk’s open challenge in Charlotte, he decided to make a pit stop in North Carolina and he’s now our new NWA Canadian International Heavyweight Champion. Guy Hauray: It’s safe to say that this is quite an unusual situation for everyone involved but the uniqueness of this title picture is what will make the next few weeks interesting. Nevertheless, we – (Guy Hauray & Édouard Carpentier are once again interrupted by a familiar sight: a man wearing the Strong Machine mask handing over a letter to the broadcast team. Guy Hauray opens the envelope and reads its content.) People always said that Godzilla was unstoppable. That there was no way of stopping this creature. For some, he’s a sign of destruction. For others, he’s the man’s most trusted ally against other monsters. The same can apply to you, Giant. Many say that you’re unstoppable. You have conquered everything on your path and you’re now a champion under most unique circumstances. But in 3 weeks, one of us will slay the monster. We will prove that Godzilla can be beaten. That Godzilla isn’t invincible. Where Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus and King Kong failed, we will succeed. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. In 3 weeks, Gojira will be extinct. S.M. Guy Hauray: Quite the ominous message from the Strong Machines. One of them is hellbent on beating Andre the Giant for that title in 3 weeks. But who will it be? Édouard Carpentier: We don’t know and that’s the scary part. We’ve seen how devious the Machines can be so Andre better be prepared. Guy Hauray: We will have more news on Andre’s first appearance on our show next week but let’s get to the ring for our first of two contests this week. Match #1 Dory Funk Jr vs Denis Goulet This is Dory Funk Jr’s first appearance since his recent tag team partner Dutch Mantell left for the World Wrestling Federation. Nevertheless, this didn’t seem to bother the elder son of Dory Funk Sr as he’s merciless against Denis Goulet. Dory Funk Jr ends it in around 5 minutes, prolonging Goulet’s agony and finishing him off with the trademark Funk Spinning Toe Hold. Winner: Dory Funk Jr (After the match, Funk steps outside of the ring and joins Édouard Carpentier at the broadcast booth for a quick interview.) Édouard Carpentier: Mr. Funk, obviously the first thing coming to mind is what transpired last night in Charlotte as your brother Terry lost the NWA Canadian International Heavyweight Championship to Andre the Giant in an open challenge. Have you spoken to him and what’s his frame of mind? Dory Funk Jr: To be honest, Terry is a bit agitated, to say the least. He threw in that open challenge expecting everyone but Andre the Giant to show up. But he did and it is what it is. I would’ve reacted a bit differently but I’m me and Terry is Terry. But I also believe that Terry still has Magnum TA in his mind. He probably didn’t expect Magnum to be this relentless and he thought that Magnum would just forget about it and move on. So, in hindsight, perhaps that he shouldn’t have overlooked Magnum TA and expected him to scatter away from the US title picture. However, ain’t no more dangerous animal than a wounded animal and right now, Terry is wounded. And I don’t want to be Magnum TA right now. As for a possible rematch with Andre the Giant, I’m not sure if that’s Terry’s intentions to ask for a rematch but if he does, he’ll be ready. Bank on it. Édouard Carpentier: And now, as for you, your tag partner Dutch Mantell has recently left for the World Wrestling Federation so the question is what are your plans going forward? Dory Funk Jr: Nothing too out of the ordinary. Kicking butts and making sure that people never forget the Funk name. I’m gonna take on all comers. No matter where they come from; you bring them to me and I’ll make them tap. (Dory Funk Jr leaves and Carpentier returns to the broadcast booth) Édouard Carpentier: It’s interesting to have an inside look in Terry Funk’s mind after losing his championship to Andre the Giant and we can bet that the Funkster will be back soon. Guy Hauray: Absolutely. And speaking of former champs, we should also have a look at the now former NWA World Tag Team Champions the Rougeau Brothers in our main event as they face off with Richard Charland & Mad Dog Lefebvre and we’ll have explanations about how this came about from the manager of the new champions, Eddy “The Brain” Creatchman when we come back. ****COMMERCIAL BREAK**** Guy Hauray: Welcome back to NWA Lutte Internationale TV. And now, would you please welcome the patriarch of the new NWA World Tag Team Champions the Creatchman Family, “The Brain” himself, Eddy Creatchman! (The crowd boos as Eddy Creatchman makes his way to the set, with both of the NWA World Tag Team Championship belts on his shoulders) Guy Hauray: Mr. Creatchman, your family shocked the world in Charlotte last night when they defeated the Rougeau Brothers to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship. Eddy Creatchman: Tout le monde est surpris, sauf moi. Depuis le début, depuis le retour de Lutte Internationale, je vous ai dit que je finirais par avoir la tête des p’tits morveux de Rougeau pis c’est exactement ça que ma bête du Botswana pis mon Lord Humongous ont fait hier. J’ai toujours dit que la famille Creatchman était la famille la plus puissante de toute la lutte professionnelle. Astheure, vous pouvez pus le nier! (Translation : Everyone is shocked except for me. Since the beginning, since the return of Lutte Internationale, I told you I’d finally get those snot punked Rougeaus’ head on a silver platter and that’s exactly what my Botswana Beast & my Lord Humongous did last night. I always said that the Creatchman Family was the most powerful family in all of professional wrestling. Now (pointing at the NWA World Tag Team titles), you can’t deny this anymore!) Guy Hauray: Not only did you steal that win last night but you almost blinded Raymond Rougeau in the process! How can you be proud of yourself? Eddy Creatchman: Vous me ferez pas verser une larme certain, monsieur Hauray. Les maudits Rougeau ont toujours eu toute sans forcer, y ont toute eu tout cuit dans le bec pis vous allez me reprocher la façon que ma famille a gagné ces ceintures-là? Fais-moi pas rire! Ma famille mérite ces ceintures-là plus que n’importe qui icitte pis j’ai des grands projets pour eux autres. J’ai déjà même reçu des appels de Jim Crockett pour la tournée Great American Bash pis tu peux être certain que je vais envoyer mes gars défendre leurs ceintures. Pis ce sera pas contre les Rougeaus, je t’en passe un papier. Du moins, pas tout de suite. Y vont devoir mériter leur chance. Pour l’instant, je vise d’autres équipes : les Vachons, les Andersons, les Harts, le clan de Fuji; n’importe qui de Mid-Atlantic qui pensent pouvoir battre ma famille, on va être prêts! (Translation : You won’t see me shed a tear, Mr. Hauray. Those damn Rougeaus always got everything handed to them, never had to work for anything and you’re gonna question the way my family won those titles? You gotta be kidding me! My family deserves those belts more than anybody here and I’ve got great plans for them. I’ve even received phone calls from Jim Crockett for the Great American Bash Tour and you can rest assured that I’ll send my boys defend their titles. And it won’t be against the Rougeaus, that’s for sure. At least, not yet. They’ll have to earn their opportunity. For now, I’m thinking of other teams: the Vachons, the Andersons, the Harts, Fuji’s clan; anybody from Mid-Atlantic who thinks they can beat my family, we’ll be ready!) Guy Hauray: But now, are you the one behind that decision to have the Rougeaus fight their new allies, Richard Charland & Mad Dog Lefebvre in our main event next? Eddy Creatchman: J’ai juste suggéré que ces deux équipes-là s’affrontent, c’est toute. En bout de ligne, c’est Frank Valois pis Bruno Sammartino qui décident. Pis de toute façon, y a personne qui croit icitte tout d’un coup que les Rougeaus pis la gang de Frenchy Martin s’entendent. Pensez-vous que Jacques Rougeau a oublié que Richard Charland a failli lui casser le cou l’année passée? Pensez-vous que Mad Dog Lefebvre aurait pas voulu faire ce que j’ai fait à Raymond Rougeau hier? Monsieur Hauray, je vous pensais plus intelligent que ça. Moé, ce que j’veux, c’est m’assurer que ma famille Creatchman ait les bons aspirants à leurs ceintures. Si par miracle, c’est les Rougeau, tant mieux pour eux autres pis c’est Charland pis Lefebvre, ça va faire plaisir à mes boys de les affronter. Mais je compterais pas sur les Rougeaus pour y arriver. (Translation : I merely suggested for those two teams to face off, that’s all. At the end of the day, Frank Valois and Bruno Sammartino make the decisions. And anyway, nobody here buys that the Rougeaus & Frenchy’s Legion are all chummy now. Do you think that Jacques Rougeau forgot that Richard Charland almost broke his neck last year? Don’t you think that Mad Dog Lefebvre wishes that he would’ve done what I did to Raymond Rougeau last night? Mr. Hauray, I thought you were smarter than that. All I want is to make sure that my Creatchman Family has the rightful challengers. If by miracle, the Rougeaus pull it off, good for them and if it’s Charland & Lefebvre, it’s gonna be a pleasure for my boys to wrestle them. But I wouldn’t bet on the Rougeaus. Guy Hauray: Like you won’t count on Raymond to beat Ric Flair tomorrow night in Kansas for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship? Eddy Creatchman: Ça va prendre tes deux yeux pour battre Ric Flair au sommet de sa forme faque imagine avec juste un œil! HAHAHA! (Translation : It’s gonna take your two eyes to beat Ric Flair on top of his game so imagine with just one eye! HAHAHA!) Guy Hauray: The Brain will stick around to watch our main event, coming up next as the Rougeau Brothers will try to beat Frenchy’s Legion to earn a possible rematch with the new NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Creatchman Family! ****COMMERCIAL BREAK**** MAIN EVENT Match #2 The Rougeau Brothers vs Richard “Le Magnifique” Charland & Mad Dog Lefebvre (w/Frenchy Martin) As mentioned before the break, Eddy Creatchman remains at the broadcast booth to watch the match. The Rougeaus come out and Raymond wears a patch on his right eye. However, Raymond doesn’t even wait for the beginning of the match to rip it off, despite brother Jacques’ plea to keep them. The broadcast team even mentions that Raymond will be wrestling against doctor’s orders against Ric Flair in Osawatomie, KS on Sunday night for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. But at least, Jacques is able to convince Raymond to stay in the corner and he’s starting the match against Charland. Despite the newfound respect between each team, no one is holding back as they want to earn a possible future title opportunity at the Botswana Beast & Lord Humongous. Raymond finally gets in the ring and Mad Dog doesn’t hold back, earning his moniker by targeting Raymond’s eye. That’s the part that Frenchy’s Legion is working on all match long until Raymond finally makes the tag to brother Jacques who cleans house. The Rougeaus are able to hit La Bombe Rougeau on Richard Charland but Mad Dog makes the save at 2. The action transports itself outside and both teams brawl as referee Adrien Desbois tries to regain control. After taking care of Mad Dog Lefebvre, Raymond Rougeau spots Eddy Creatchman at the table and makes a beehive towards him. Creatchman pleads with Raymond who grabs him by the collar of his vest and Frenchy tries to separate Raymond & Eddy. Frenchy tries to calm down Raymond and Eddy grabs a bag in his pocket and spills its content in his hand. Frenchy and Raymond turn around and Eddy throws the powder in direction of Frenchy but Frenchy ducks and Raymond receives it! Raymond goes down in a heap and Jacques immediately goes checking on his brother as Mad Dog Lefebvre & Richard Charland return to the ring. Adrien Desbois, clueless about what just happened, keeps counting and unfortunately for the Rougeaus, they get counted out! Eddy Creatchman scurries to the back before being chased off by Jacques! The show ends as Mad Dog Lefebvre, Richard Charland & Frenchy Martin check on Raymond along with other Lutte officials. Winners: Richard “Le Magnifique” Charland & Mad Dog Lefebvre by countout À LA SEMAINE PROCHAINE SI DIEU LE VEUT!

I thought you had gone all Vince Russo when I first read "Reverse Battle Royal" but nice way to introduce the Royal Rumble concept!

How much did they pay for this? $4.16?

Well, there are some booking opportunities that you didn't expect to pop up but when they do, you just can't pass on. This was definitely one of 'em!

MACW has nothing to worry about. Of course, the NWA Board of Directors was consulted before the decision was made for the title change. The title situations are discussed in my latest dirt sheets

NWA LUTTE INTERNATIONALE NEWS -In a turn of events that won't do anything to ease the tension between the WWF & Lutte Internationale, Andre the Giant shocked the world by showing up in Charlotte, North Carolina and answering Terry Funk's open challenge and becoming the new NWA Canadian International Heavyweight Champion. From the informations that have been gathered, Andre's stint with Lutte is for a limited amount of dates with the territory but it's unclear now as for how long will he be around. Especially given how Andre will have to maneuver with Vince McMahon, even for his freelancing duties. The summer could be interesting to say the least. -As for the rest of the card in Charlotte, every other title defended changed hands and many in the wrestling world might find those title changes quite surprising. First, The Midnight Rockers defeated Gino Brito & Rick Martel to become the new NWA Canadian International Tag Team Champions. While some might question how quick this title reign has come for them, those titles are perceived at the same level than the NWA US Tag Team Championship in Mid-Atlantic. Also, since the NWA World Tag Team Championship remain within Lutte Internationale for the time being, management felt like there would be less pressure on the Midnight Rockers to have a successful title reign and they'll be able to grow as performers with less scrutiny than if they would've taken the Rougeaus' titles for instance. In the meantime, Lutte officials are currently negotiating with Verne Gagne & the AWA to bring in Badd Company to work a series of matches with the new champions. The Midnight Rockers could also work a few shows in the AWA as well in the future. -Also surprising was the Rougeaus dropping the titles to The Creatchman Family in Charlotte. Not that they dropped the titles but rather to whom in the Creatchman Family as many thought that The Great Samu & Prince Alofa Fatu would've received that reign but given the positive reactions the Botswana Beast & Lord Humongous have received, it was decided that they'd be receiving the titles. No word yet on how long their reign will last but it is a certainty that the titles will return to the Mid-Atlantic territory later this year. -The reason why the Sensational Heavyweight Championship angle was brought back to TV recently was to introduce a new midcard title belt to the territory, the Quebec Heavyweight Championship, with Armand Rougeau being the inaugural champion upon beating Billy Robinson in Charlotte. The official presentation of the title will air on this week's NWA Lutte Internationale TV this Saturday morning. -Several new faces made their debut with the territory recently. Mainly, the Guerrero brothers; Chavo, Hector & Mando. It had been a while since Frank Valois wanted to bring them to Lutte Internationale but contractual obligations elsewhere prevented this to happen. In fact, Chavo Guerrero will main event the Commerce, TX card of the Pre-Bash Tour on Saturday night as he'll face Gino Brito for the NWA Canadian International TV Championship. Another surprise debut was Crusher Blackwell, who was revealed as Rip Oliver's mystery partner in Charlotte against Steve Strong & The Spoiler. However, don't expect that relationship to last long because another name will pop up in relation to the Terry Taylor Sensationals' dismissal storyline. -The response for Dino Bravo since he returned to the territory has been mainly positive, while there still is some tensions with some people in the locker room, given how he left the territory a few months ago. It is said though that Bravo is working hard to mend fences and rebuild bridges, which is definitely appreciated by Lutte management. -Expect a joined SMW/Lutte event later in July during the Great American Bash Tour as several Lutte & SMW members will be touring in Mid-Atlantic during the month of July. Lutte had first planned an event at Jarry Park in July but instead chose to have Jim Crockett promote that event instead as part of the Great American Bash tour. All roster members are said to be available for that card. -Finally, Super Strong Machine will be extending his stay in Lutte for the foreseeable future as Lutte management like the reactions he's been generating and he's also been a mentor to Strong Machine #2 & #3. This means that Sting is also extending his stint in Japan with the JWA but plans haven't changed for him when he returns to North America as he'll be headed to Smokey Mountain Wrestling. -Speaking of SMW, Lutte Internationale has accepted Smokey Mountain Wrestling's request to send Bob Backlund work their Knoxville weekly Monday events. It's also possible that Backlund could work other SMW shows in their loop but negotiations are still early in that regard.

Aaaaah, that explains everything then

Finally took me to do that for you to comment on my cards?

Solid cards all around. The British Bulldogs already having some serious momentum.

I must also say that in the past 2 weeks, Carmella has never been better on the mic. I now really feel the "Princess of Staten Island" gimmick, starting all the way last week with her promo and then her crying on Talking Smack and everything all the way down to tonight. Like Jimmy Redman, I must admit that this shitty finish at MITB still served its purpose and now Carmella has gone from coming out to crickets to legit solid heel heat. The crowd ate that Becky flipping the ladder on Ellsworth up tonight and that finish is perfect. However, I'm not sure that The Welcoming Committee is still in effect. Given how much Carmella pissed the entire women's locker room at MITB, she now has a big target on her back. Should be very interesting until she cashes in.

I can only imagine how pissed Terry Funk must've been pissed to not have full TV coverage during that episode!

Still, a pretty cool list of extras though. To think that a Phantasio match has always eluded me.

Big fan of that 8-men Elimination Tag Match. Great finish. And if I were Austin Idol & Freddie Blassie, I would be careful not to get on Bruiser Brody's bad side! 'Cause he could go after Idol's UWF World Title!

Would've loved to be live for Barry Windham vs Bret Hart!

Oh man, Ayala vs Chicky should be epic.

Apparently, Shirai's debut will be delayed. WWE discovered a neck injury during her medical. She'll be reevaluated in July, according to Dave Meltzer.
