UWF Results (Circa Late 80's) - Thibodaux Civic Center, Thibodaux, LA. Att: 5,380.
Announcers: Jim Ross & Magnum TA
Ring Announcer: Toni Adams
Referees: Carl Fergie & Jerry Usher
1. "Jersey Boy" Angelo Mosca Jr. (w/ "Jumping" Joe Savoldi) pinned Gustavo Mendoza with a Diving Reverse Cross Body Press off the top rope at 3:53.
2. Jack Victory (w/ "The First Lady of Professional Wrestling" Missy Hyatt) defeated Bobby Perez with a Piledriver at 3:22.
3. "Fabulous Freebird" Michael P.S. Hayes (w/ fellow Freebirds Buddy Jack Roberts & Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy) over "White Lightning" Tim Hoerner at 6:26. This was pretty much a handicap match. Hoerner had to fight off all three Freebirds throughout the contest as Roberts and Gordy each got in their licks. In the end, Hayes KO'd Hoerner with a microphone shot to the head while Roberts held Referee Carl Fergie's attention. Hayes made the pin and then showboated for the angry fans by moonwalking across the ring.
4. Grudge Match. "Bruiser" Bob Sweetan bested "Timekeeper" Mike George in a street fight. "The Timekeeper" removed the padding from a corner turnbuckle but had his own head rammed into the exposed steel by Sweetan leading to the pinfall at 11:40. Nothing was settled in this feud as George blindsided Sweetan with his clock after the bout.
5. Number One Contenders Tag Team Match. With the Champion Fabulous Freebirds huddled together and watching intently from the wings, the Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) defeated Devastation Incorporated's Samoan Swat Team (Fatu & Samu w/ General Skandor Akbar) at 10:56. The SST appeared to have things wrapped up as Fatu came off the top rope with a huge splash on Bobby Fulton, but Referee Jerry Usher was knocked down in the process and unable to count the pin. Fatu tried to help Usher get back to his feet and was rolled up from behind by Fulton for the winning pin. The Freebirds were waiting in ambush and laid out the Fantastics with their championship belts as Fulton and Rogers were returning to the dressing room.
6. Indian Strap Match. Chief Jules Strongbow defeated his bitter adversary Black Bart (w/ Downtown Bruno) at 8:55. Strongbow tied Bart to the ring post and pummeled him unmercifully in the corner. The Chief then dragged his dazed opponent around the ring to touch all four corner turnbuckles for the victory. Both men were bloody and battered by the end of the match.
7. Iceman King Parsons and "Dirty" Dick Murdoch (w/ General Skandor Akbar) wrestled to a 20:00 Time Limit Draw. Murdoch demanded five more minutes but fled the ring when Referee Carl Fergie granted his request. |

UWF Results (Circa Late 80's) - Blackham Coliseum, Lafayette, LA. Att: 5,239.
Announcers: Jim Ross & "Cowboy" Bill Watts
Ring Announcer: Reeser Bowden
Referees: Tommy Gilbert & Tony Torres
1. Devastation Incorporated's Eli the Eliminator (w/ General Skandor Akbar) over Davey Haskins at 2:02. Haskins was mounting some offense until he was distracted by Skandor Akbar's heckling at ringside. Eli turned the tide with a Double Axe Handle from behind and then finished off Haskins with a Tombstone Piledriver.
2. Ted Dibiase pinned "Mr. Superb" Steve Doll with a Powerslam off the ropes at 5:10.
3. "Jumping" Joe Savoldi (w/ Jersey Boy teammate Angelo Mosca Jr.) defeated "Gorgeous" Gary Young (w/ Downtown Bruno) at 7:52. Savoldi used a High Flying Body Press to pin Young while Mosca held Downtown Bruno in check.
4. Los Guerreros (Chavo & Mando Guerrero) over Downtown Bruno's Rock & Roll RPM's ("Maniac" Mike Davis & Tommy Lane) at 7:24. Mando surprised Mike Davis with a Springboard Cross Body off the top rope for the pinfall.
5. Brad Armstrong over "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert (w/ "The First Lady of Professional Wrestling" Missy Hyatt) by DQ at 9:58. Gilbert was caught red-handed bashing Armstrong in the head with the Lady in Waiting (Missy Hyatt's loaded Gucci purse) by Referee Tony Torres to draw the disqualification.
6. Texas Death Match. "The Timekeeper" Mike George defeated "Bruiser" Bob Sweetan at 11:30. Sweetan could not get to his feet by Referee Tommy Gilbert's ten count after Mike George smashed his coveted clock over the Bruiser's noggin. George won the match but his beloved timepiece was shattered in a million pieces.
7. Tag Team Title Match. The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) upended the Fabulous Freebirds (Michael P.S. Hayes & Buddy Jack Roberts w/ Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy) at 11:05. Michael Hayes was whipped into Terry Gordy who had climbed up onto the apron to interfere. The dazed Hayes was then rolled up from behind by Bobby Fulton for the surprise pinfall. The Fantastics are the new UWF Tag Team Champions !! |

WWWF Results (Circa Late 70's) - Witschi's Sports Arena, North Attleboro, MA. Att: 1,462.
Announcer: Vince McMahon Jr.
Ring Announcer: Joe McHugh
Referees: Dick Woehrle & Dusty Feldbaumer
1. "Philadelphia's Favorite Son" S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones over "The Continental Nobleman" Joe Turco at 8:40. Turco seemed to be on his way to victory until a missed Elbow Drop turned the momentum in S.D.'s favor. The Nobleman's face was then introduced to the corner turnbuckle for several smashes and was followed by a leaping Head Butt from the 2nd rope by Jones for the winning pinfall.
2. "High Chief" Peter Maivia completely dominated Sylvana Sousa in tonight's second bout. The desperate Sousa bailed out of the ring and baited Maivia into following along. Once the High Chief was on the floor, Sousa walloped him with Joe McHugh's microphone but the blow had little effect on Maivia's hard noggin. Sousa was then tossed back inside the ring and finished off with a Flying Tackle off the ropes at 5:11.
3. Mr. Fuji & Professor Toru Tanaka defeated the tandem of Tony Parisi & Johnny DeFazio. The fiery Parisi kept his team in it but things took a turn for the worse late in the match after DeFazio tagged in. Tanaka & Fuji kept Johnny close to their corner and wore him down with some dirty double teaming tactics. DeFazio was ripe for the pickings and submitted to the Professor's Shinon No Maki (Cobra Clutch) at 7:25.
4. "Handsome" Jimmy Valiant (w/ brother "Luscious" Johnny) beat "Irish" Pat Barrett at 8:34. It was an ominous sign when the Valiants brought their WWWF Tag Team Title belts with them to ringside. Luscious Johnny smashed Barrett from behind with his belt while brother Jimmy kept Referee Dusty Feldbaumer occupied. Jimmy then dropped an elbow on his felled opponent to make the tainted pin.
5. Canadien youngster Dino Bravo over "Crazy" Luke Graham in an Unusual Ending. There was controversy a plenty when Referee Dick Woehrle appeared to make a three count following a taped thumb jab to throat from Crazy Luke. Graham jumped up with arms raised victoriously while Woehrle tried to explain to him that he had only counted to two. In the meantime, Bravo got back to his feet and Drop Kicked Luke from behind. The force of the blow sent Graham sailing over the top rope and crashing hard to the floor where he was counted out by Woehrle at 10:58.
6. The Main Event featured "Polish Power" Ivan Putski facing "The Iron Greek" Spiros Arion. After several thwarted attempts, Putski finally connected with his Polish Hammer off the ropes but the bell rang before he could even make a pin cover. The boo birds were out in full force when Joe McHugh then announced that the bout had gone to curfew and was declared a Draw by Referee Dusty Feldbaumer. The official time of the match was 12:21 |

WWWF Results (Circa Late 70's) - Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY. Att: 4,733.
Announcer: Vince McMahon Jr.
Ring Announcer: Howard Finkel
Referees: Jack Lotz, Gilberto Roman & Wee Willie Weber
1. Tony Russo edged Johnny Rivera in a pretty even contest at 8:45. Johnny relied on his speed and aerial maneuvers throughout the match but it cost him in the end. A missed Cannonball Splash by Rivera directly led to the three count.
2. Jose Estrada was defeated by Steve Travis but not without a fight. Estrada managed to kick out of several pinning predicaments to frustrate his opponent time and again. Travis had the answer, however, and was able to induce a submission with an Abdominal Stretch at 7:00.
3. Bob Backlund over rugged Tank Patton at 7:51. Patton employed a hidden foreign object in this contest and drew blood with the weapon after cutting Backlund over the left eye. A missed corner charge proved to be his ultimate undoing. Backlund was able to sidestep his adversary and then hoist the dazed Patton up for the Delayed Atomic Spinebuster enroute to victory.
"Olympic Strongman" Ken Patera was soundly booed by the crowd when he came out to perform some feats of strength for Utica. Patera ripped a phone book in half, drove some steel spikes through a board with his bare hands and twisted a horseshoe into a pretzel shape. The jeers only got louder prompting Patera to have a tirade in the ring. He demanded respect but what he got instead was an Arm Wrestling Challenge from "Polish Power" Ivan Putski. A table and chairs were hastily set up in the ring with Vince McMahon presiding over the contest. Patera had the early advantage but Polish Power came back and nearly had his opponent's hand down when the Olympic Strongman abruptly rammed Putski's face-first into the table. Patera then put the boots to Ivan as McMahon desperately shouting for help. Polish Power soon found himself in the dreaded Swinging Full Nelson when help arrived from the back in the form of Chief Jay Strongbow, Peter Maivia and "The Eighth Wonder of the World" Andre the Giant himself who chased Patera off and then attended to the injured Putski.
4. Waldo Von Erich over Dominic Denucci via Count Out at 11:17. Von Erich kept bailing from the ring whenever he found himself in trouble which frustrated Dominic to no end. Denucci finally had enough and went after Von Erich on the floor. The two men were battling it out when Denucci was bashed in the head with Von Erich's German WWII helmet. Dominic was unable to shake out the cobwebs to make Referee Gilberto Roman's ten count.
5. Chief Jay Strongbow & "High Chief" Peter Maivia have been unable to wrest the WWWF Tag Team Titles away from the Valiant Brothers ("Handsome" Jimmy & "Luscious" Johnny). Tonight they enlisted the help of Andre the Giant as they took on the Valiants along with their unscrupulous manager Captain Louis Albano. They say in baseball that the ball finds the player who is playing out of position. Such was the plight for Captain Lou. To his credit the shady Albano did his best to stay out of the ring and would only enter to join in on dirty double or triple teams with the Valiants, but it was just a matter of time before the Captain found himself in no man's land. The fans would have probably preferred to see Albano in Andre's hands, but it ended up being Chief Jay Strongbow who put the Captain out with his Sleeper Hold for the victory at 10:36. |

WWWF Results (Circa Late 70's) - St. John Arena, Steubenville, OH. Att: 2,960.
Ring Announcer: Joe McHugh
Referees: Dick Woehrle & "Tough" Tony Altimore
1. "Gas House" Doug Gilbert had the unenviable task of taking on the 601lb barefoot "Country Boy" Haystacks Calhoun in tonight's opening bout. Everything that Gilbert tried seemed destined to failure, including a comical attempt to scoop up Haystacks for a Body Slam. Gas House was eventually sent hard into the turnbuckle on a corner whip and then collapsed to the canvas after a couple of crushing butt bumps. Calhoun took a seat on his opponent's chest for the three count at 4:42.
2. "Butcher" Paul Vachon resorted to devious means to defeat the pesky Manuel Soto at 5:15. Vachon removed the padding from a corner turnbuckle and rammed Soto's forehead into the steel leading to the winning pinfall.
3. The Golden Terror and "Flying" Fred Curry were both counted out by Referee Dick Woehrle at 7:33. The Terror (Pete Doherty under the mask) looked like he might pull out a victory after Curry missed a Drop Kick, but Flying Fred managed to get a foot on the bottom rope to break Dick Woehrle's count. Curry tried to come back with a Flying Cross Body Press but the momentum of the maneuver sent both men toppling over the top rope and crashing hard to the floor. Neither the Terror or Curry could get back in the ring in time to make the count.
4. The Grand Wizard of Wrestling's Golden Grahams ("Superstar" Billy Graham & "Crazy" Luke Graham) beat the tandem of fiery Tony Parisi & "Irish" Pat Barrett at 7:50. With Crazy Luke down and out on the mat, Parisi climbed up to the top rope in the hopes of delivering the coup de grace, but was shoved from behind by the Superstar and tumbled awkwardly to the mat. Luke crawled over to make the cover and Referee Tony Altimore added the 1-2-3 to seal the victory.
5. Total bedlam broke out in the bout between "Professor" Toru Tanaka (w/ Mr. Fuji & "Hollywood Fashion Plate" Classy Freddie Blassie) and Tony Garea (w/ Larry Zbyszko). A distraction by Blassie enabled the devious Fuji to sneak into the ring undetected, but his attempts to interfere were thwarted by Zbyszko who also entered the ring. Fuji tried to throw a handful of salt into Zbyszko's eyes but got Professor Tanaka instead when Larry ducked at the last second. The blinded Tanaka was then cradled in a Small Package by Garea for the winning pinfall at 8:47.
6. The Main Event featured a grudge match between "Polish Power" Ivan Putski and the evil "Olympic Strongman" Ken Patera. (Putski was savagely attacked by Patera during an Arm Wrestling Challenge after Polish Power had gained the upper hand in the contest.) Patera wasted no time in going after Ivan's neck but was never able to apply his dreaded Swinging Full Nelson finisher. Putski battled back and pummeled the Strongman with a barrage of fists in the corner. A desperate Patera pulled a foreign object from his tights and was caught red-handed slugging Putski with the weapon. Referee Tony Altimore immediately called for the bell. Your winner by DQ 12:54 - "Polish Power" Ivan Putski. |

WWWF Results (Circa Late 70's) - Long Island Arena, Commack, NY. Att: 3,882.
Announcer: Vince McMahon Jr.
Ring Announcer: Joe McHugh
Referees: John Stanley, Billy Caputo & Dick Kroll
1. Jose Estrada bested Johnny Rivera with a little chicanery in tonight's opening bout. The wily Estrada feigned an injury after his knee appeared to buckle while in the process of giving his opponent a body slam. Rivera bent over to check on him and was cradled in a Small Package at 7:37.
2. Colorful "Continental Nobleman" Joe Turco earned himself bonus heel points with some rather derogatory hand gestures for a bunch of hecklers in Commack, but the score adjustment did little to boost his chances of pulling out a victory against his opponent Gorilla Monsoon. Turco kept things interesting by continuously choking Monsoon in the corner with the shoulder strap of his singlet, however Gorilla was able to apply the brakes and reverse a whip to the opposite corner. Monsoon followed up with a Running Avalanche that seemed to moved the ring by at least two feet. The Nobleman staggered out of the corner and was hoisted up onto Gorilla's shoulders for an Airplane Spin that lead to the winning pinfall. The time of the match was 5:52.
3. The combination of Baron Scicluna & Stan "The Man" Stasiak made a formidable team against the likes of S.D. "Special Delivery" Jones and his partner Frankie Williams. Jones dished out a series of Head Butts to keep his team in it, but things took a turn for the worse after Williams had tagged in. Scicluna's jab to the throat with a hidden foreign object stunned Frankie and set up Stasiak's trademark Heart Punch finisher to put the match away at 4:33.
4. "Pretty Boy" Larry Sharpe gave Victor Rivera a run for his money before going down to defeat at 9:25. Victor was able to escape several pinning predicaments to frustrate his opponent time and time again. A desperate Sharpe climbed up to the top rope for a high risk leap and found nothing but canvas. Rivera added a running Cannonball Splash across Sharpe's chest to gain the three count.
5. "The Big Cat" Ernie Ladd over Steve Travis via Count Out at 8:43. Travis was able to offset the Big Cat's size advantage with his speed and agility in the ring but everything changed once the action moved to the floor. Ladd battered his opponent from pillar to post around ringside before choking out Travis with Joe McHugh's microphone cord. Travis was unable to roll himself back inside the ring in time to make Referee Billy Caputo's ten count.
6. Steel Cage Main Event Match: WWWF World Champion Bruno Sammartino vs. George "The Animal" Steele. Upon Bruno's insistance, The Animal was checked and double-checked for foreign objects by Referee Dick Kroll before entering the ring. Despite the extra precautions, Steele still managed to smuggle in a tongue depressor under the flap of his boot and used it to open a deep gash on Sammartino's forehead. The wound became a major problem for Bruno (made worse by Steele's incessant biting) and impaired Sammartino's vision. Bruno returned the favor by ramming Steele's head into an exposed turnbuckle after the Animal had gnawed open the padding earlier in the bout. Bleeding profusely from their wounds, both men began simultaneously climbing the same cage wall side-by side. A well placed back elbow to the mush sent Steele crashing to the canvas and enabled Bruno to climb out to victory at 12:51. Bruno Sammartino retains the WWWF World Championship. |

WCW Results (Circa Early 90's) - Mathis Civic Center, Valdosta, GA. Att: 3,483.
Announcers: Tony Schiavone & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes
Ring Announcer: Rhubarb Jones
Referees: Randy "Pee Wee" Anderson, Nick Patrick & Lee Scott
1. "The Z Man" Tom Zenk opened the program with a win over Randy Barber. Zenk was blind-sided by a sneak attack as he was taking his ring jacket off to give Barber the edge in the early going. The momentum swung in the Z-Man's favor, however, after reversing a whip to the turnbuckle and giving his opponent ten punches in the corner. Barber staggered out to the middle of the ring and was floored by a Missile Drop Kick from the top rope by Zenk for the 1-2-3 at 4:16.
2. The odd combination of Argentina's El Gigante and "Heavy Metal" Van Hammer failed to click as a cohesive unit in a loss to Diamond Dallas Page's Diamond Mine (Vinnie Vegas & the Diamond Stud). Gigante seemed content to hold up his hand and threaten to apply his Brain Claw at any given moment while the Diamond Mine tagged in and out working over his partner. Hammer took a beating and was pinned after the Stud's Diamond Death Drop (Crucifix Powerbomb ) at 7:44. In his one brief shining moment, Gigante managed to clear the ring of the heels with a chair after they continued to put the boots to Van Hammer after the bell.
3. Marcus Alexander Bagwell managed to pull out a victory over J.T. Southern despite the constant interference of Johnny Flamingo. Bagwell was nearly counted out after decking Flamingo with a haymaker on the floor and narrowly rolling himself back inside the ring in the nick of time. Southern immeadiately sent his opponent to the ropes but telegraphed a Back Body Drop enabling Bagwell to pin him with a Fisherman's (Cradle) Suplex at 8:20.
4. Paul E. Dangerously's Dangerous Alliance (Arn Anderson & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) defeated the Young Pistols (Steve Armstrong & Tracy Smothers) at 8:54. Dangerously reached in and tripped Steve Armstrong while Referee Nick Patrick was preventing Tracy Smothers from entering the ring. Bobby Eaton took advantage of the moment by landing his Alabama Jam (Leg Drop from the top rope) on the downed Armstrong behind the preoccupied ref's back. By the time Patrick finally turned around, he found Arn Anderson making the cover and counted the pin.
5. In what may have been the biggest opportunity of his young career thus far, Erik Watts could not rise to the occassion against his opponent "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Watts was "taken to school" as the Nature Boy would say and looked thoroughly intimidated in the ring. Watts chest was beet red from Flair's trademark knife-edge chops in the corner and hardly mustered anything in the way of offense except a punch or two. A Verticle Suplex followed by a measured running kneedrop to the forehead put the Nature Boy in complete control. Watts tapped out to the Figure Four Leg Lock moments later. The time of the match was 7:03.
6. The Great Muta (w/ "Playboy" Gary Hart) put his United States Belt on the line against Ricky Steamboat in the Main Event. It was a shame that these two competitors could not keep the action inside the ring as both men were counted out by Referee Pee Wee Anderson at 18:36 as they traded loud chops on the floor. Steamboat grabbed the house mic and demanded five more minutes in the ring to determine who the better man was. Muta seemed game for the challenge but was held back by his manager Gary Hart and ushered away to a loud chorus of "Boos !" The Great Muta retains the WCW United States Title. |

WCW "Power Hour" Program Results (Circa Early 90's) - Center Stage Theatre, Atlanta, GA. Att: 772.
Announcers: Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Ring Announcer: Rich Landrum
Referees: Randy Eller, Jimmy Jett & Mickey Jay
1. Cashing in on the popularity of the "Beetlejuice" movie at the box office, The Juicer (Art Barr) kicked things off with a victory over Larry Santo this evening. Among other pranks, Santo was the recepient of Silly String sprayed to his face during OOR Action. Once back inside the squared circle, the Juicer got down to business and pinned his opponent with a Leaping Thesz Press from the top rope at 4:05.
2. The pompous Lord Steven Regal (w/ Union Jack) beat Rikki Nelson (w/ neither Ozzie nor Harriet) at 2:32. As always, Regal's facial expressions were priceless as he belittled Ring Announcer Rich Landrum for his improper use of the Queen's English. That little tirade earned him so bonus heel points not that he really needed them. Nelson tapped out to the Regal Stretch (Arm Trap STF) in rather short order.
3. The man called Sting (w/ Jungle Yell, spikey blonde hair and colourful face paint) in a laugher over "Scrap Iron" Bill Ford. Not even a pre-match sneak attack on the Stinger while he was removing his ring jacket could give Ford an early edge in this lop-sided contest. To the contrary, it only served to fire up the native of Venice Beach, CA all the more. A crushing Stinger Splash in the corner was the beginning of the end for Scrap Iron. Ford submitted to the Scorpion Deathlock (Sharpshooter) moments later at 3:41.
4. Bunkhouse Buck (w/ Colonel Parker) over Chuck Coats in another squash at 3:39. It was a bit odd to see Bunkhouse deliver his Piledriver finisher and not go for a cover. Buck waited instead for Coates to get back to his feet before decking him with a Knockout Punch for the three count. To add insult to injury, Bunkhouse hog-tied Coates after the bell with a rope that he had brought with him to ringside. Referee Randy Eller had the unenviable task of undoing the knot.
5. Ricky Santana proved to be no pushover for Scott Steiner. Employing a hidden foreign object quite effectively, Santana was trouble right from the getgo. Despite Steiner's (and the fans' ) insistance, Referee Mickey Jay never could detect the weapon. Scott persevered, however, and pinned Santana with the Frankensteiner (Hurricanrana Head Scissors Takedown) at 6:17.
6. Johhny B. Badd (w/ Referee-Turned-Evil Manager Teddy "Peanut Head" Long) beat Tracy Smothers of the Young Pistols in a barn burner at 9:44. Long was rather subdued throughout the bout, but certainly made his presence felt in the end. Teddy reached into the ring and pulled Smothers' leg out from underneath him as he was attempting a Verticle Suplex causing Badd to land on top of his opponent. Long held onto Tracy's foot during Referee Randy Eller's pin count to assure that there would be no kick out.
7. The team of Barry Windham & "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes defeated the Texicans / Southern Posse (Tex Slazenger & Shanghai Pierce) at 8:56. Shanghai was cut off at the pass as he attempted to climb up to the turrnbuckle and was given a Superplex off the top rope by Windham for the winning pinfall. Slazenger tried to make the save but was intercepted by a Drop Kick from the Natural and driven out of the ring. |

WCW Results (Circa Early 90's) - University Hall, Charlottesville, VA. Att: 3,712.
Announcers: Jim Ross & Kevin Sullivan
Ring Announcer: Gary Michael Cappetta
Referees: Nick Patrick, Randy "Pee Wee" Anderson & Tommy Young
1. Airborne Paratrooper Ranger Ross debuted with a victory over the masked Zan Panzer. Panzer gained an early advantage after attacking before the bell while Ross was saluting Old Glory up in the rafters. The Ranger battled back with some fists of fury to take control of the bout and never looked back. The masked man was decked by a Combat Kick (Super Kick) for the 1-2-3 at 3:49.
2. Johnny B. Badd's manager Teddy "Peanut Head" Long unveiled the newest member of his stable in the person of "Mean" Mark Callous (who would go on to greatness as the WWF's Undertaker). Rick Fargo had the unenviable task of providing the competition for Callous this evening and was mauled in the process. A clubbing, rope-walk, forearm to the back was the beginning of the end for Mr. Fargo. Moments later he was laid out by a Heart Punch for the three count. The time of the fall was 2:55.
3. The newly formed tag team of Flyin' Brian Pillman & "The Z Man" Tom Zenk scored a win over the State Patrol (Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker & Lt. James Earl Wright) at 6:14. Some faulty communication between the Patrol set up the finish as Parker inadvertently clotheslined his own superior officer. Zenk then slingshotted Pillman into the ring from the apron with a Flying Splash to gain the winning pinfall.
4. "Young Pistol" Steve Armstrong was the victim of a dirty double team when he went down to defeat at the hands of Fabulous Freebird Jimmy "Jam" Garvin. With manager Big Daddy Dink (Sir Oliver Humperdink) distracting Referee Nick Patrick, fellow Freebird Michael P.S. Hayes snuck into the ring and joined with Jimmy in delivering a Double DDT onto Armstrong. Patrick finally turned around to find Garvin making the cover and counted the pin at 7:47.
5. “Mean" Mark Callous once again made his presence felt tonight by altering the outcome of the Grudge Match pitting Lumberjack Big Josh (Matt Borne) against hated foe Johnny B. Badd. Callous pulled the top rope down causing Josh to tumble out of the ring and fall hard to the floor. Mean Mark then dropped the Lumberjack throat-first onto the steel barricade railing while Teddy Long kept Referee Randy Anderson occupied. Josh was down and out for the subsequent ten count. Your winner via Count Out at 9:35: Johhny B. Badd.
6. In the Main Event, Barry Windham defeated "Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko (w/ Manager Paul E. Dangerously) at 12:15. Dangerously seemed destined to make an impact on the outcome of this match in one way or another. Little did he know that his attempted interference would lead to disaster for the Living Legend. Dangerously climbed up to the apron looking for an opportunity to wield his trademark mobile phone but had Zbyszko sent crashing into him courtesy of Barry Windham. Zbyszko staggered backward from the impact of the collision and was rolled up from behind by Windham for the three count. |

WCW Results (Circa Early 90's) - Memorial Hall, Kansas City, MO. Att: 3,360.
Announcers: Jim Ross & "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes
Ring Announcer: Rhubarb Jones
Referees: Lee Scott, Randy Eller & Johnny Boone
1. Pablo Crenshaw could provide little in the way of competition for Vinnie Vegas (a young Kevin Nash) in tonight's opening bout. Crenshaw was leveled by a Big Boot to the mush coming off the ropes and then given the Snake Eyes (Face Drop onto the top turnbuckle) for the pinfall at 3:04.
2. Johnny Flamingo (aka ECW's Raven) defeated "Heavy Metal" Van Hammer via Count Out at 6:58. J.T. Southern, who accompanied Flamingo to ringside, stuck around to alter the outcome of this match. Hammer was tossed out of the ring and bashed over the back with his own electric guitar by Southern while Flamingo kept Referee Randy Eller occupied. The official then laid the ten count on the KO'd Hammer. It should be noted that Southern has labeled Van Hammer a "poser" who carries a guitar around for "show" but doesn't actually know how to play it.
3. Ten minutes was not enough time to decide a winner in the bout between "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton and "Candyman" Brad Armstrong. The two men took their battle to the time limit with Referee Johnny Boone declaring the contest a Draw.
4. Captain Mike Rotundo of the Varisty Club (w/ "Dog Faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner & Kevin Sullivan) defeated "Young Pistol" Tracy Smothers at 7:47. Outside Interference once more came into play when Steiner absolutely planted Smothers face-first into the mat with a Bulldog off the top rope while Kevin Sullivan argued with Referee Lee Scott. Scott finally turned around to find Rotundo making the cover and counted the pin.
5. "All American" Ron Simmons over Deadeye Dick (w/ Bunkhouse Buck & Col. Parker) at 8:23. Simmons got some unlikely help from "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff of all people who had joined the announcers' table to provide guest commentary for the match. The All American was getting hit from all angles thanks to the presence of Parker and Buck at ringside. Referee Randy Eller turned his back to admonish them which enabled Dick (the WWF's Moondog Rex) to choke out Simmons in the ring with a bull rope. The Russian Nightmare could stand no more. Nikita threw off his headset and raced into the ring with a Russian Sickle that flattened Deadeye. Both men were now down and out on the mat as Eller began to count. Simmons barely managed to get to his feet before the official reached ten and was awarded the victory.
6. The Main Event featured a WCW Tag Team Title Match with the Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs & Jerry Saggs) defending their belts against the dysfunctional duo of Cactus Jack & Abdullah the Butcher. This was one ugly and brutal brawl that ended up on the floor of the arena with various objects coming into play. It is unclear if the official decision was a Double Count Out or Double Disqualification, but Referee Johnny Boone threw the match out at 12:44 and called for help to separate the combatants. The Nasty Boys retain the WCW Tag Team Titles. |

WCW/n.W.o. Results (Circa Late 90's) - Target Center, Minneapolis, MN. Att: 11,204.
Announcers: Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Ring Announcer: Dave Penzer
Referees: Billy Silverman, Mickey Jay & Mark "Slick" Johnson
1. Evan Karagias (w/ Madusa Micelli) defeated Prince Iaukea at 4:16. Karagias got a helping hand from his Gal Pal when Madusa reached into the ring and tripped Iaukea as he was being whipped to the ropes. Karagias immediately capitalized on the moment by hopping up to the top rope and landing the Outrageous Corkscrew Senton Splash for the pinfall. Karagias is one of many in the hunt for Billy Kidman's Cruiserweight Title.
2. It wasn't pretty but David Flair & Crowbar beat the Natural Born Thrillers (Mark Jindrak & Sean O'Haire w/ "Above Average" Mike Sanders at 7:50. The shady Sanders was poised on the apron to club David Flair with a tire iron when a well-placed knee to the groin courtesy of Flair's screaming goth girlfriend Daffney Unger caused him to drop the weapon. Mark Jindrak lunged to get his hands on her but got caught in a Schoolboy Roll Up from behind by Flair for the three count.
3. "Belfast Bruiser" David "Fit" Finlay over Meng in a Hardcore match at 8:33. Finlay played the babyface in this match and received a huge pop from the crowd by giving his opponent a Head Butt while wearing a Minnesota Viking's football helmet. Meng's hard noggin withstood the blow however it did daze him enough to be hoisted up by Finlay into a Fireman's Carry and sent crashing through a table with a Forward Roll Slam for the pin.
4. The match between "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero and the "Dark Angel" Vampiro degenerated into a wild donnybrook when the Insane Clown Posse (Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope) ran in to attack "Latino Heat" and were quickly followed by Rey Mysterio Jr. and Eddie's nephew Chavo Guerrero Jr. to even the score. With all six men battling it out in the ring, Referee Mickey Jay had no choice but to throw the match out and call for the bell at 8:48.
5. n.W.o. B-Team member Scott "Flash" Norton (w/ Vincent) defeated Kanyon at 7:25. Vincent took advantage of a shouting match between Norton and Referee Billy Silverman to sneak into the ring and whack Kanyon from behind with a slapjack. Norton was then able to finish off his dazed opponent with a huge Powerbomb to gain the three count.
6. WCW Title Match. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner (w/ valet Midajah) was disqualified in his bid to unseat Goldberg as WCW World Champion. Midajah ran into the ring and clubbed Goldberg in the back with a lead pipe as the Champ was lifting Steiner up for the Jackhammer (Verticle Suplex Slam) finisher. Referee Slick Johnson called for the bell at 9:16. Goldberg retains the WCW Title. |

WCW/n.W.o. Results (Circa Late 90's) Rupp Arena, Lexington, KY. Att: 10,583.
Announcers: Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Ring Announcer: Lee Marshall
Referees: Mickey Jay, Scott Dickinson & Nick Patrick
1. Luchador Triple Threat Match. El Dandy vs. La Parka vs. Ciclope. Tony Schiavone had difficulty keeping up with all the high flying theatrics in the ring which we have come to expect from the Mexican luchadors. The match was eventually won when La Parka connected with his Skytwister Press (Flying Corkscrew Body Block) from the top rope onto El Dandy. The time of the fall was 5:58.
2. UFC Fighter Tank Abbott KO'd "Thunder Foot" Jerry Flynn with a Right Hook at 1:14. The fans didn't quite know what to make of Mr. Abbott and were indifferent in their reaction.
3. Hollywood Hogan introduced the newest member of the n.W.o. who was called "The Disciple" (Brutus Beefcake with a beard) to a loud chorus of "Boos" which earned him bonus heel points. The Disciple went on to defeat "Ragin' Cajun" Lash Leroux with the Apocalypse (Stunner Jawbreaker) at 4:24.
4. "The Laughing Man" Hugh Morrus over "The Franchise" Shane Douglas via DQ at 7:26. Douglas pulled a small chain out of his tights, wrapped it around his fist and was caught slugging Morrus in the kisser with it by Referee Scott Dickinson for the disqualification. After the bell, a woozy Morrus was just getting back to his feet when he was abruptly dropped by Douglas with The Franchiser (Shoulder Jawbreaker).
5. KroniK (Brian Adams & Bryan Clark) were victorious over the Faces of Fear (Meng & the Barbarian) at 8:53. Miscommunication led to disaster for the Faces of Fear. The Barbarain held Brian Adams from behind for a Thrust Kick from Meng but Adams was able to duck at the last second leaving the Barbarian to get a face full of foot. Adams then tagged in Clark as KroniK combined for the High Times (Double Chokeslam) to pin the dazed Barbarian.
6. Hollywood Hogan of the n.W.o. defeated Booker T in the Main Event thanks in large part to the Disciple. Booker was poised on the top rope to deliver the Heat Seeking Missile finisher (Missile Drop Kick) when the Disciple came out of nowhere to shove him from behind and send him falling awkwardly to the mat. Hogan then followed up with the Running Leg Drop of Doom for the three count. |

WCW/n.W.o. Results (Circa Late 90's) - Charleston Civic Center, Charleston, WV. Att: 11,288.
Announcers: Tony Schiavone & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Ring Announcer: Dave Penzer
Referees: Johnny Boone, Charles Robinson & Nick Patrick
1. The n.W.o. escorted their lackey Buff Bagwell ("He's Buff & he's the Stuff" ) to ringside and got in their token cheap shots on "Hard Work" Bobby Walker in a laugher of a match. Bagwell scored the pinfall with his Blockbuster (Diving Neckbreaker off the top rope) at 2:57.
2. The boy band Three Count (Evan Karagias, "Sugar" Shane Helms & Shannon Moore) defeated Leia Meow's Jung Dragons (Kaz Hayashi, Yang & Jamie-San) in a 6-man Tag Match at 7:42. "Sugar" Shane snuck into the ring and planted Jamie-San with the Nightmare on Helms Street (Inverted DDT) behind Referee Charles Robinson's back. Robinson turned around to find Karagias making the cover and counted the pin. After the bout, Three Count performed their new song "Girl, You Got What I Want What You Got" (??) which the ladies in the crowd seemed to enjoy until all three members were Drop Kicked from behind by the Jung Dragons and sent flying over the top rope. Now THAT drew some real applause from the fans.
3. "Lionheart" Chris Jericho (w/ "Jerichoholics Anonymous" T-Shirt and Head of Security Ralphus) over "Screaming" Norman Smiley at 5:01. The cameraman seemed more intent on shooting the dim-witted and toothless Ralphus attempting to eat a corn dog at ringside instead of the action in the ring, but such is the state of WCW programming that we've become accustomed to. By the time we cut back to the ring, Jericho was scoring the three count on Smiley after landing a Lionsault (Springboard Moonsault off the second rope).
4. The bitter feud between "The Dark Angel" Vampiro (w/ the Insane Clown Posse) and "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero continued with no resolution in this latest bout. Once again we had a run in from Violent Jay & Shaggy 2 Dope of the ICP as well as Eddie's nephew Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Rey Mysterio Jr. Referee Johnny Boone threw the match out with a Double Disqualification at 8:28.
5. WCW Cruiserweight Title Match. Champion Billy Kidman (w/ Torrie Wilson) fought off the challenge of "Iceman" Dean Malenko. The bout was not without it's share of controversy. Malenko had caught the Champ in his Texas Cloverleaf leglock submission but was forced to break the hold when Referee Nick Patrick ruled that Kidman was "close enough" to the ropes despite not actually reaching them with his outstretched hand. Ironically enough, Kidman would go on to pin the "Iceman" with his Shooting Star Press when replays clearly showed that Malenko's foot was on the bottom rope before Patrick' count reached three. Malenko had a fit in the ring afterward. It should be noted that Patrick has a reputation of being a "n.W.o. Referee". Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan pointed out the on-going bad blood between Malenko and the n.W.o.
6. They don't call him "The Chosen One" for nothing. Vince Russo's personal savior of WCW Jeff Jarrett (w/ Guitar & "Slap Nuts" Shirt) defeated Bret "The Hitman" Hart at 15:15. After a series of near pinfalls for the "Hitman", Russo came down to ringside to ridicule Referee Charles Robinson for his poor officiating. Jarrett capitalized on the distraction by leaping off the top rope with an El Kabong guitar shot to Hart's back. Robinson spun around and incredibly counted the pin for Jarrett despite the guitar debris strewn about the ring. |

WCW/n.W.o. Results (Circa Late 90's) - Montana Entertainment Trade & Recreation Arena, Billings, MT. Att: 11,773.
Announcers: Mike Tenay & "Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko
Ring Announcer: Lee Marshall
Referees: Mark "Slick" Johnson, Mickey Jay & Charles Robinson
1. Berlyn (w/ Bodyguard the Wall) defeated "Ragin' Cajun" Lash Leroux at 5:49. Lash was taking the battle to Berlyn until the Wall pulled the top rope down causing Leroux to topple hard to the floor. The Wall then punished Lash OOR while Berlyn held Referee Slick Johnson's attention. The battered Leroux was rolled back into the ring by the big bodyguard and finished off with a Hangman's Neckbreaker by Berlyn for the pin.
2. Perry Saturn over Scotty Riggs at 7:12. Riggs throws a mean Flying Drop Kick but he telegraphed it tonight and found nothing but canvas. Saturn then followed up on the mistake with a Death Valley Driver to gain the three count.
3. "Belfast Bruiser" David "Fit" Finlay and Kanyon wrestled to a Double Count Out at 7:37. This battle spilled out of the ring and back up the aisle into a banquet room where the wrestlers pelted each other with dishes and buffet pans. Kanyon by far caught the worst of the punishment when he had a pot of scalding coffee emptied on him.
4. "The Laughing Man" Hugh Morrus beat Disco Inferno by DQ at 6:56. Morrus wasn't "laughing" when he took a chair shot over the head from Disco to draw the disqualification from Referee Charles Robinson, however he did get the last "laugh" by returning the favor in kind after the ref's decision.
5. "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero, nephew Chavo Guerrero Jr. & Rey Mysterio Jr. bested "The Dark Angel" Vampiro and the Insane Clown Posse (Shaggy 2 Dope & Violent J) in a Six Man Tag battle at 8:04. Although they were badly out-wrestled by their counterparts, Vampiro & friends kept things interesting in this match and received quite a bit of crowd support from a large section of "Juggalos" in attendance. In the end, Shaggy went down for the three count after a spectacular Springboard Hurricanrana from Rey.
6. Triple Threat World Title Match. WCW World Champion Goldberg vs. Diamond Dallas Page vs. Hollywood Hogan of the n.W.o.. This championship bout saw all three competitors land their trademark finishers over the course of the match but no one was able to follow up with a pinfall thanks to interference from the extra man. DDP received the biggest ovation when he dropped Hogan with the Diamond Cutter, but he would end up being the one who was pinned after he turned around right into a Spear from the Champion for the three count at 12:31. Goldberg retains the WCW World Title. |

ESPN presents AWA Championship Wrestling from the Showboat Sports Pavillion in Las Vegas, NV (Circa Mid to Late 80's) Att: 5,386.
Announcers: Rod Trongard & Lord James Blears
Ring Announcer: Larry Nelson
Referees: Gary DeRusha & Marty Miller
1. "Olympian" Brad Rheingans over veteran Dennis Stamp by DQ at 1:39 when Stan "The Lariat" Hansen ran into the ring and smashed Rheingans in the head with a horseshoe. Several wrestlers ran in from the back to subdue Hansen. Rheingans was busted open and had to be helped backstage to receive medical attention.
2. "Canada's Greatest Athlete" Nick Kiniski (w/ Madusa Micelli) pinned "Beach Boy" Sonny Rogers with a Piledriver at 3:59.
"In This Corner" Segment with Larry Nelson and the Alaskans tag team of Rick Renslow & Dave Wagner.
Renslow demands to know why the Alaskans have not been granted a title match against the AWA Tag Team Champion Midnight Rockers. Larry Nelson suggests that maybe they haven't earned it yet. Larry points out that the Alaskans haven't won a single tag match yet since their arrival in the AWA. The Alaskans will hear none of it. They shake their war clubs in anger and insist that it is a conspiracy against the great state of Alaska.
3. Ladies Tournament Match. Leilani Kai eliminated Vicki Williams with a Diving Splash off the top rope at 9:02.
4. "Midnight Rocker" Marty Jannetty defeated "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal by DQ when the Alaskans ran into the ring and ambushed Jannetty with their war clubs. Fellow "Rocker" Shawn Michaels made the save and cleaned house of Renslow and Wagner.
5. The Cobra Corps. from Camp Slaughter ("High Flyer" Greg Gagne & "America's Hero" Sergeant Slaughter) beat the Texas Hangmen (Killer & Psycho w/ nooses and cowbells) at 8:13. Chaos with all four men battling in the ring. The Hangmen where whipped into each other from opposite corners by the Cobra Corps. Greg Gagne then applied the Sleeper Hold onto an already woozy Psycho to lead his team to victory.
6. Bruiser Brody (w/ Sheik Adnan El-Kaisee) over Big Otto Wanz via Count Out at 10:48. Much of this match took place OOR where Brody dominated. Wanz was sent crashing into the TV crew where he became entangled in an extension cord. He could not free himself in time to make Referee Gary DeRusha's ten count.
7. In the Main Event, Jerry "The King" Lawler defeated "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin (w/ Precious) at 13:00. Precious tried to spray Lawler in the eyes with perfume but ended up getting her own man with it instead. The blinded Garvin staggered around the ring and was cradled by Lawler in a Small Package for the pin. |

Ring Announcer: Al DeRusha
Referees: Scott Ledoux & Robert Warren
1. Big Scott Hall pinned Pete Sanchez with the Hall Buster (Bulldog) at 2:36.
2. Soldad Ustinov (w/ Teijo Khan) over Jake "The Milkman" Milliman with the Russian Sickle off the ropes at 7:26.
3. Ladies Tournament Match. Desiree Peterson pinned Vivian Vachon with a Small Package at 6:30 to advance.
4. Paul "Hard Rock" Diamond defeated "Mr. 1st Class" Jerry Gray with a Front Suplex at 6:14.
5. Non-Title Tag Team Match. The Champion Midnight Rockers (Marty Jannetty & Shawn Michaels) beat the Alaskans (Rick Renslow & Dave Wagner w/ war clubs). Michaels pinned Renslow with a Diving Reverse Cross Body Press off the 2nd Rope at 7:37.
6. "Playboy" Buddy Rose (w/ "Sensational" Sherri Martel) over Billy Robinson by Count Out at 10:20. Rose smashed Robinson over the back with a fire extinguisher during OOR action while Sherri distracted Referee Robert Warren. Robinson could not make Warren's subsequent ten count.
7. Stan "The Lariat" Hansen (w/ branding iron and a wild look in his eyes) defeated "Olympian" Brad Rheingans by DQ at 12:37. As action spilled out onto the floor, Rheingans reversed Hansen's whip and sent the big Cowboy head-first into the ring post (an automatic DQ in the AWA Rule Book). Rheingans achieved a measure of revenge on the Wildman from Borger, TX after Hansen had busted him open with a horseshoe in Las Vegas last week. A bloody and berserk Hansen continued to battle with Rheingans all the way back to the dressing room. |

AWA Results (Circa Mid to Late 80's) - Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, Fort Wayne, IN. Att: 11,525.
Announcers: Larry Nelson & Verne Gagne
Ring Announcer: "Slick" Mick Karch
Referees: Gary DeRusha & "Benchwarmer" Bob Lurtsema
1. Big Bad Bobby Duncum (w/ Eddie "The Brain" Creatchman) over "El Gordito" Nacho Berrera with the Bulldog at 3:21.
2. David Sammartino pinned Jay York with a Powerslam off the ropes at 5:56.
3. "The Illustrious" Jonnie Stewart from Pacific Palisades, CA defeated "Z Man" Tom Zenk via Count Out at 9:25. As the action spilled out onto the floor, Stewart was able to sidestep Tom Zenk's running charge causing him to sail over the barricade railing and into the first row of spectators. Zenk could not get back in the ring in time to make Referee Gary DeRusha's ten count.
"In This Corner" interview segment with Larry Nelson and AWA Commissioner Stanley Blackburn. After consulting with Wally Karbo and various AWA officials, Blackburn announced that he has levied a $2,500 fine against "Playboy" Buddy Rose for his recent actions in Sioux City, IA. We are shown a clip of the Playboy bashing Billy Robinson across the back with a fire extinguisher during their match. (Rose won the contest by Count Out as a result). Rose's manageress "Sensational" Sherri Martel interupts the interview and has some choice words for the Commissioner. Blackburn warns Martel to watch her step or that she'll be fined as well.
4. The Destruction Crew (Wayne "The Train" Bloom & "Mean" Mike Enos) beat the tandem of D.J. Peterson & the Trooper at 11:50. Mike Enos snuck into the ring and combined with Wayne Bloom for a Double Hot Shot on the Trooper while Referee Bob Lurtsema was sending D.J. Peterson back to his corner. Lurtsema finally turned around and reluctantly counted the pin for Bloom. Lurtsema, who calls himself "The People's Ref", has publicly stated on several occasions that he does not like the Destruction Crew and "Mean" Mike Enos in particular.
5. Boris Zhukov (w/ Sheik Adnan El-Kaisee) over "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell by Count Out at 13:28. The crafty and devious El-Kaisee baited Blackwell into leaving the ring and chasing him around ringside to cause the Count Out. The bad blood between these two continues.
6. "Rocker" Shawn Michaels (w/ fellow "Rocker" Marty Jannetty) beat "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko (w/ Go the Ninja) by DQ at 13:20. Young Michaels made a spectacular entrance and carried the fight to the veteran Zbyszko. The action spilled outside the ring where all four men battled on the floor. Zbyszko sent Michaels head-first into the ring post to draw the disqualification from Referee Gary DeRusha.
7. AWA World Title Match. Champion Rick Martel turned back the challenge of Number One Contender Nick Bockwinkel from Beverly Hills, CA at 12:21. Bockwinkel's tag team partner Ray "The Crippler" Stevens came down to ringside with a hidden foreign object in his hand and tried to bash Martel with it. The Champion was able to duck at the last second and Bockwinkel took the full brunt of the loaded punch instead leading to the pinfall. |

AWA Results (Circa Mid to Late 80's) - Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, Oakland, CA. Att: 5,033.
Announcers: Ken Resnick & Larry "The Axe" Hennig
Ring Announcer: Larry Nelson
Referees: Rich Frisk & Larry Lisowski
1. "The Mercenary from South Africa" Colonel Debeers over Jim Evans with his South African Facebuster (Face First Piledriver) at 6:59.
2. Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka defeated Rick Gantner with the Superfly Splash off the top rope at 8:50.
3. "Sensei" Pat Tanaka (w/ Diamond Dallas Page) over the "Polish Prince" Steve Olsonoski via Count Out at 7:11. DDP pulled down the top rope as Steve O was whipped toward him by Tanaka. Olsonoski took a bad tumble out of the ring and could not make Referee Larry Lisowski's ten count.
4. Doug "Pretty Boy" Somers (w/ "Sensational" Sherri Martel) was counted out in a brawl with Tommy "Jumbo" Tsuruta around ringside at 8:39. Somers got tangled up in the TV crew and could free himself in time to make Referee Rich Frisk's count.
5. "Rocker" Marty Jannetty (w/ fellow Rocker Shawn Michaels) over "Canada's Greatest Athlete" Nick Kiniski (w/ Madusa Micelli & "Mr. Magnificent" Kevin Kelly) by DQ at 8:09. Jannetty caught Kiniski with a Flying Cross Body Press off the ropes but Kevin Kelly pulled Referee Larry Lisowski out of the ring before he could finish making the three count to draw the disqualification.
6. Ray "The Crippler" Stevens (w/ Nick Bockwinkel) defeated "High Flyer" Greg Gagne by Count Out at 14:57. After several cheap shots by Nick Bockwinkel, Gagne's French temper finally got the better of him and he battled Bockwinkel all the way back to the dressing room as Referee Rich Frisk layed the ten count on him.
7. In the Main Event, "Precious" Paul Ellering's Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) beat the veteran tandem of Baron Von Raschke & "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell at 13:52. The Warriors may have caught a break in this back and forth tag match. With both men battling on the floor, Von Raschke tossed Hawk back in the ring just as Referee Larry Lisowski's count reached "10" causing the Baron alone to be counted out. |

Championship Wrestling from Florida (Circa Late 70's) - Chiefland High School Gym, Chiefland, FL. Att: 819
Ring Announcer: "Coach" John Heath
Referee: Bill Alphonso
1. Ali Bey put a dent in his Magic Lantern enroute to defeating Prince Tonga at 6:26. Referee Bill Alphonso became sandwiched in between the grapplers as they collided off the ropes sending all three men down to the mat. Bey was the first to his feet and seized the moment by bashing the already woozy Tonga with his prized lantern. Alphonso recovered to make the three count on the Prince.
2. In a battle of masked men, Mr. Uganda (w/ Sonny King) beat high flyer El Rayo at 4:43. A telegraphed Back Body Drop spelled doom for El Rayo. Mr. Uganda caught his opponent with his head down and planted El Rayo with a Piledriver for the 1-2-3.
3. Big Bill Dromo over the demented Killer Karl Kox by DQ at 8:15. Kox appeared to be conversing freely with entities not entirely visible to the spectators throughout this match. Apparently "the voices" told him to bash Dromo with a folding chair right in front of Referee Bill Alphonso which drew the disqualification.
4. Mr. Sato & Mr. Saito from the Orient defeated the team of Bubba Douglas & Tiger Conway Jr. at 7:02. Douglas made a good accounting of himself but fell victim to a handful of ceremonial salt to the eyes courtesy of Mr. Sato. The blinded Douglas staggered right into a Small Package from Saito for the winning pin.
5. Sonny King interferred one time too many in this bout and cost his charge Thor the Viking a loss at the hands of popular Rocky Johnson. Thor appeared to be on rubber legs and in a whole heap of trouble following the Johnson Shuffle (Three Left Jabs and a Roundhouse Right). Manager Sonny King, who had got in several cheap shots earlier in the bout, sensed desperation and entered the ring only to be corralled into a noggin knocker with the big Viking by Rocky. The dazed Thor was then cradled from behind for the three count at 7:58.
6. Some masked confusion came into play in tonight's Main Event as Spoiler II (w/ Spoiler I) went on to defeat Jerry Brisco at 14:27. There is no love loss between the Spoilers and the Brisco Brothers ever since Jack and Jerry beat the masked men for the Florida Tag Team Titles several weeks back. Spoiler I took advantage of another collision involving Referee Bill Alphonso by slipping a foreign object into his mask and trading places with his woozy partner in the ring. Jerry was just getting back to his feet when he was met with a loaded Head Butt from Spoiler #1. Unaware of the shenanigans, Alphonso then counted the illegal Spoiler's pin on Brisco.

Championship Wrestling from Florida Results (Circa Late 70's) - Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami, FL. Att: 8,552.
Announcers: Gordon Solie & Buddy Colt
Ring Announcer: Dr. Tom Miller
Referees: Sonny Myers, Leo Garibaldi & Charley Laye
1. Bryan St. John put away Raul Mata at 5:50. It was obvious to everyone in the arena except for Raul Mata and Referee Sonny Myers that St. John had dipped down into the tights for some sort of hidden foreign object. Turning his back to obstruct the official's view, St. John then grabbed his opponent in a side headlock and jabbed the object into Mata's throat to gain the tainted pinfall.
2. John Boy Ruffin could get nothing going against crafty Mike Graham. Ruffin was thoroughly out wrestled in the early going and resorted to desperate measures to turn the tide in his favor. A would be chair smash in the corner by Ruffin backfired big time when Graham ducked at the last second causing the chair to recoil off the turnbuckle back into John Boy's face. The dazed Ruffin was then given a Swinging Neckbreaker by Graham for the three count at 5:13.
3. Nothing was settled between Tiger Conway Jr. and "Dirty" Don Serrano as the grapplers took their battle to the floor and were both counted out by Referee Leo Garibaldi at 8:04. Some rather expensive television lamps were smashed in the process when the camera crew became embroiled in the melee. Serrano appeared to trip over an extension cord and stumbled into the lighting equipment sending it crashing to the floor. Garibaldi's count had reached ten long before the combatants found there way back inside the ring.
4. Blackjack Mulligan caught a bad break in a DQ loss to the Beautiful Beauregarde. Sir Oliver Humperdink tried to sneak his walking stick into the ring for Beauregarde to use, however it was Mulligan who got his hands on the cane first and smashed it over his opponent's back. Referee Charley Laye saw the infraction and immediately called for the bell at 7:44. Mulligan was incensed by the decision and chased everyone from ringside with the walking stick.
5. Jim Garvin & Lumberjack Jos Leduc over Killer Karl Kox & Lars Anderson by disqualification at 10:36. Anderson's mysterious bag of coins came into place once more when it found it's way onto the ring to decide this hard fought tag team contest. Kox became trapped in Jimmy Garvin's Figure Four Leg Lock and on the brink of submission prompting Lars to run in and break up the hold with a smash to Garvin's forehead with the money bag. Leduc then cleaned house with an axe handle before attending to his dazed partner.
6. The highly anticipated rematch between "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and Don Muraco for the Florida Championship was spoiled by interference from Sonny King and various members of The Family. Rhodes knew that he was up against it when Pak Song, Mr. Uganda and King Curtis Iaukea all joined King in circling the ring to give Muraco a decided advantage in his title defense. There were cheap shots a plenty on the Dream as Referee Sonny Myers needed eyes in back of his head to catch all the flagrant interference. Despite being out numbered, Rhodes persevered and managed to land his trademark Bionic Elbow Drop sparking the Family to run in and put the boots to him. Blackjack Mulligan, Jos Leduc and Jim Garvin all immediately raced down to ringside to run off the heels. Your winner by DQ at 13:47: Dusty Rhodes with Muraco retaining the Florida Title.
