Autistic Dragon

Tommy Rich must've needed a damn private army to get out of there alive after PILDRIVING HIS MOTHER!!!! He better thank Watts for the suspension cause he might not've been so lucky next time. Magnum lightens the mood with a lightning fast win & a promise to become the new Contental champion. A nice successful (tv) debut for the Highwaymen. The International House of Humperdink is gonna cause a lotta trouble. I don't usually trust *insert object here* on a pole match but Cooley vs Bass fighting over "Ol' Betsy" sounds appealing. BRING BUDDY BACK! But seriously I love how the part that pisses Budro off the MOST is Olympia calling RPG his Best Friend. RPG's & Olympia's response was golden. Huntsville better get ready for a wild night. Especially that lights out match. Ross puts up a good fight but Nikita is simply on another level. Luckily Magnum was still in the house. Another great night in Birmingham!

The Orndorf/Rich feud continues to slowly but steadily build momentum. Congratulations to DiBiase & Hansen on becoming undisputed National Tag Team Champions! Who will the Hacksaws find to take on the intimidating trio of Borne,Sawyer & Sullivan? Georgia is rolling!

That's one hell of a bracket for the Tag Title tournament. Heenan makes a impactful first imp on the MACW audience as he aligns with the Heavyweight Champion & out-schemes Ole Anderson! The war between MACW & Georgia is tied 1 a piece with Flair poised to tip the balance. Throw in a successful debut for Fuji/Teryu plus a seeming agreement for Tito to defend against Valentine and you've got another exciting episode of MACW.

For its third & final manager Mid-South signs Floyd Creatchman.

Power Pro arrives with a bang! The Red Assassins vs The Patriots is the perfect undercard tag feud for this period. Good job making U.S Steel feel like a big deal in one episode. Looking forward to his Grudge match with Uncle Ivan. Speaking of Ivan, what the hell are he & Nikita thinking pissing off Brody? Your Ladd promos always rule. As should the match between Allen & Garvin. But is Watts planning? The Shiek isn't messing around with his new stable, Roberts, The Masked Superstars & Leduc! Plus who got the missing briefcase? The New Orleans card is stacked to the damn roof!

Jarrett opens the show with huge news, Beasts of Burden vs Cabin Fever in a Cage! Rheneigans grabs a win,gives a touching send-off to Crusher & accepts Charland's challenge. Eventful week. Casey & Sunshine accepts Greg's challenge. I've still got a weird feeling about all this. I like the new direction of Crew's "Ace" shtick. Really like the new mean streak. I managed to catch some reruns of AWA on ESPN a few years ago. The episodes were from a little before they shut down & I remember Larry Z being a big part of the show. Looking forward to seeing him cause trouble here. Awesome Twosome being their usual D-bag selves. Colon comes out for a match with a jobber but gets laid out by Iaukea's newest assassain Mr Ito. That's the great thing about a wrestler feuding with a manager, it lasts as long as the manager can convince people to fight for them. The one and only Billy Jack is ready to become World champion! I understand why Johnny would consider Estrada worth recruiting but he better remember who "El Jefe" is around here. Bruise Brothers damn near murder Fergie on live TV! Be a shame to lose Priceless but I'd understand. Lawler vs Idol for the National title. Bring it on! I don't know where the Hammund Arena is but you've made it the place to be every week for fans of the AWA.

Are we still using the rule that says if I stop at 2 managers I can pick up someone in free agency?

I know it won't be the best workrate match but I'd love to see Neidhart/Barbarian. Now Martel/Johnson on the other hand spells workrate.

Ah my apologies.

Shiek & Blassie chasing Backlund's title is textbook WWF. The IC title tournament is shaping up nicely with Steele vs Kamala & Henning vs Savage. I'm calling the winner of Savage/Henning to take the title. Good start.

Before I officially launch my version of Mid-South i wanted to preemptively explain a few things. I've been following this game since it was using the abandoned Millennium Project thread & am aware of LowBlow's previous booking of this territory (hence 2.0) and I'm going to be in a sense rebooting his version both because I enjoyed it but mainly because it allows me to work with titles in a way that's true to the time. Speaking of my titles I feel the need to explain what my Championship scene will look like initially. Mid-South North American Heavyweight Champion: The Grappler IRL Jake Roberts defeated The Grappler for the title on 6/30 before dropping it to Ted DiBiase on 7/4. As neither man is on my roster I've decided to start my run with the title still on Grappler. Mid-South Tag Team Champions:TBD IRL The Wild Samoans defeated the pairing of JYD & Dick Murdoch for the belts sometime in June before dropping the titles back later that same month. As a(They're no dates assigned these changes & b( The Samoans & Murdoch were signed to the AWA in-universe anyway I've determined to start with the titles vacant. Mid-South Louisiana Champion: Jimmy Garvin IRL Garvin defeated Ernie Ladd,who began & ended LowBlow's tenure with the title, on 3/4 before dropping it to The Super Destroyer on 5/1. As Super D was employed with MACW at the time in-universe I have decided to keep the title on Garvin. Mid-South Mississippi Champion: Don Diamond LowBlow's version of Mid-South ended with the Mississippi Championship on Bob Armstrong. As Mr Armstrong is one of the talents linked to SECW I've decided for the sake of simplicity to start with the title on the man who held it IRL, Don Diamond who ended The Grappler's second reign on a unspecified date. Full disclosure as I know nothing about the man he probably won't hold the title long.

Best of luck. I kinda feel like I let the WWF down and it's nice knowing it's gonna still be around

Mid-South signs Percy Pringle.

Badd Company heats the crowd up with a win over the Vice Squad. The strengthened Playboy Club claims first blood by taking out Wright. How will Duggan & co respond? Gator & Megaman are proving a formidable team. Candido has to get dirty to put down Double J. So the Masked Avenger only has eyes for Bubba eh? Intriguing. Wow it takes 4 men to beat Owen. Nice rub for the Snowbird. Duggan & British Steel get vengeance on Rose & the Dog Pound. But Rose continues to elude Duggan. Vancouver does PCW good once again.

Mid-South signs Scott McGee to bring its active wrestler count to 40. For its first manager Mid-South signs Sir Oliver Humperdink

Ladd may have finally pushed his luck too far. Looking forward to what Watts comes up with. Hahaha I love how Leduc's answer boils down to "Dude I'm getting paid to beat people up anyway sooooo" Interesting how he & Kassie get involved in the Tag Title match. The Masked Superstars should prove tough champions to beat. Vision or no, ya can't keep Bam Bam down! A well structured battle royal leads to Brody vs Nikita for the World Championship! Fuck Yeah! I'd be booking the first flight to New Orleans!

Mid-South signs Billy Starr & Tony Charles

Scott "Hog" Irwin defeats Doug Vines w/Slick with a running Bulldog. Non-title "Black Bullet" Shaska Whatley w/Slick defeats "Wild" Bill Irwin when Slick tripped Irwin as he was going for a Bycicle Kick leaving him open for the Flying Willie. Jason the Terrible w/"Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan & Cocoa Samoa goes to a double c.o. One Man Gang w/"General" Skandar Akbar defeats "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez with the 747. "The Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell defeats "Killer" Tim Brooks w/"General" Skandar Akbar by dq when Brooks threw a chair at Mantell's head during a brawl on the floor. The Tribal Nation (Youngbloods) defeat Karachi Vice w/"General" Skandar Akbar when Mark performed a top rope Sunsetflip on Makahn. Karachi Vice attacked after the bell with the entire security being required to separate them. The Funk Brothers & "Dirty" Dutch Mantell defeat Chicky Starr & Zaibatsu (WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta & "Wild Tiger" Kim Duk) w/Tojo Yamamoto when Mantell pinned Duk with the Tennessee Chainsaw. Tojo tried to jump Mantell as soon as the bell rang cracking him in the back with the Japanese flag but the Funk's grabbed him after the first strike. They started pounding on the despised manager but were cut off themselves by the arrival of Mr Pogo & Kendo Nagasaki carrying his Kendo stick. As Duk, Jumbo & Chicky recover we get a 6-3 beatdown for a couple of minutes until this to is interrupted by the arrival of The Long Riders.....and a chair swinging Jimmy Jack Funk!!! JJ swings right for Chicky's head but the Puerto Rican villain dives outta the ring and runs up the aisle with JJ in hot pursuit. The remaining ten men brawl a few more minutes before Dutch clears the heels out with a few cracks from Shoo Baby. Zaibatsu retreat up the aisle as the 5 cowboys celebrate with the fans to close the show.

I wonder what the other Monsters think of the fact that Medusa will save Double M from a pinfall loss but not them. Good way to keep her protected though. Lady Apache gets a nice TV win then throws her hat in the ring for a dual title shot. Not sure if this is a good time to mess with Moretti. Richter demonstrates why she was world champion by carrying Leather to a main event win. WWW is going full steam ahead!

Kazmaier keeps the momentum going by putting the squeeze on the Intern. The Highwaymen make Gatorwolf & Horner unnistan who they're messing with. The Iceman corrects course with a win over Mr Electricity. Zenk/Taylor & the DWB's give the fans a taste of what's to come. Ross goes 2-0 over the Russians. That'll get you noticed in the flag waving south. Cooley & the Armstrongs get the win over RPG's crew but they pay a steep price. Good thing Brad & co were nearby. Speaking of Brad, he's gonna have a bone to pick with Duker after costing him a title match. Nice to have CCW on a proper tour schedule again.

Mid-South signs Ric McCord & Vinnie Romero

Mid-South signs Bobby Bold Eagle & Carl Fergie

WSW releases U.S Steel WSW signs Tyree Pride

I often have trouble buying a bearhug as a move but from a man with the physique & reputation of Kazmaier i have no problem. Ranger Ross pulls off the patriotic upset. I don't think anyone will blame him for the strategic withdrawal before he could face the wrath of Nikita. Dark Journey pays dividends for "Mr Electricity" as he angles for another shot at the Jr Heavyweight Championship. A eventful four way leads to the next chapter of the Armstrong/Rich saga. I can just imagine how pitiful RPG sounded in hid wheelchair wrapped up like a mummy getting pushed around by Duker. Bass is a good contender for Cooley. The dq means this isn't over. Mama Peggy better make a extra special dinner to make up for costing her boy the World Tag Titles. Olympia retains but the real story is after the bell. I struggle to picture Landel as a face but If anyone can pull it off it's you.

Western States Wrestling Sports Arena Amarillo Texas Bell time 3pm Jason the Terrible w/"Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan defeats U.S Steel by referee stoppage when Jason mounted Steel and repeatedly headbutted him with the hockey mask! The Devil's Duo w/Slick defeat The Glamor Boys when Radiance came down distracting the Glamor Boys & the referee. During the confusion Slick passed Sword a bike chain which he ko'd Simpson with for the win. "The Latin Heartthrob" Al Perez defeats "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan with a bridging German suplex. After the bell Jason came in swinging his ax though Perez thankfully made it out unharmed. The Fort Bragg Brotherhood defeat Radiance. A ref bump allowed Embry to line up a belt shot on Kirchner but before he could strike Steve Doll ran down and snatched the belt. Embry gave chase leaving legal man Somers to fall victim to the Cobra Clutch. Intermission limited tickets for next week's event sold. Taped fist match Cocoa Samoa defeats Abdullah the Butcher w/"Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan When Cocoa banged Abby's & Sullivan's heads together then hit a Samoan drop followed by a second rope splash. Bunkhouse Gangfight Rules for a Bunkhouse Gangfight No DQ No C.O Tornado rule in affect Falls count anywhere Come dressed as you are Devastation Inc defeats The Wild Bunch A chaotic affair in which chairs, boards, belts, boots & even a (unlit) branding iron are used. The decisive moment is when Akbar barked into a walkie-talkie summoning the ONE MAN GANG who layed out The Wild Bunch culminating in a 747 to Windham on the ring apron allowing Brooks to pin him after he rolled in agony to the floor. Bullrope match Dory Funk Jr defeats Chicky Starr with a piledriver on the Cowbell. Zaibatsu (WSW Heavyweight Champion Jumbo Tsuruta,Kendo Nagasaki &Mr Pogo) w/Tojo Yamamoto defeat "The Pride of Montague County" Johnny Mantell,"Dirty" Dutch Mantell & Terry Funk. Johnny Mantell seemed to still be feeling the affects of the loaded headbutt earlier and this ultimately lead to him taking the pin after a shot with the Japanese flag by Tojo and a thrust kick by Nagasaki. Zaibatsu tried to continue the attack after the bell but Dutch grabbed Shoo baby and chased the Japanese contingent away but not before Tojo caught a couple lashes.
