WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Presents WWA Monday Night Maxx (1.1) Monday, January 2, 2012 – New York City – Madison Square Garden[/u]
WWA Monday Night MAXX kicked-off with TONY SCHIAVONE & JIMMY CRIMSON from the WWA MAXX Stage. (Think WCW Nitro)
SCHIAVONE: A new year. A new era. A new World Wrestling Alliance. Welcome fans to WWA Monday Night MAXX. I’m Tony Schiavone alongside my broadcast partner Jimmy Crimson.
CRIMSON: That’s right, Tony. It is a new beginning here in the WWA. We’re coming to you live from, the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden. And it is electric here in the Big Apple.
SCHIAVONE: Let’s kick –off Monday Night MAXX with Verne Gagne defending the Global Honor Crown Championship against Eddie Guerrero…
Global Honor Crown Championship Match VERNE GAGNE © vs. EDDIE GUERRERO GAGNE defeated GUERRERO by submission in an action-packed opening match with the Stepover Toehold to retain the Global Honor Crown Championship.
Winner of the match and still the Global Honor Crown Champion… VERNE GAGNE!
After the match the new WWA Intercontinental Champion “The Icon” FRANK GOTCH came down to the ring with a mic in his hand
GOTCH: Can somebody tell me what’s going on? I am the WWA Intercontinental Champion and by beating Bret “Hitman” Hart, again, I’ve proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am the best wrestler in the WWA. And yet… And yet the matchmakers don’t seem fit to book me in a match on the premiere of Monday Night MAXX. But you know what? I’ve never been one to wait around for something to be handed to me. When I see something I take it and I really don’t care who gets hurt in the process. Which leads me to you, Verne Gagne. You got something I want. You see I’m making a championship gold grab. And you Mr. Gagne are holding the next piece. Next week right here on Monday Night MAXX, I am proposing a title unification match. My Intercontinental Championship and your Global Honor Crown Championship. So what do you say, Gagne? Are you man enough to compete against me? Are you champion enough to put that belt on the line against an icon?
GAGNE: You know, Frank, I thrive on the competition. I aspire to be the very best. And you’re good, Gotch, you’re real good. But, even on your best day, you’re not Verne Gagne. Ever since I came to the WWA I’ve never backed down from a challenge. And I don’t see any reason to start now. You want me, Gotch? Well right here next week on Monday Night MAXX, you’ll get me and I’ll walk out of Providence, Rhode Island as the new Intercontinental Champion…
CRIMSON: Well, fans, you want wrestling? You’ll get it next week. Gagne and Gotch to unify the Intercontinental and Global Honor Crown Championships.
SCHIAVONE: It seems to me Jimmy, that unification is the order of the day. Because coming up later tonight we will see a historic contract signing between the World Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan and the World Wrestling Alliance Champion, LOU THESZ. These two legends will meet at The 2012 BattleBowl to unify those belts and to determine the first Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. But first fans we will hear from the owner and CEO of the World Wrestling Alliance Napoleon King and he’ll be with us in two minutes when WWA Monday Night MAXX continues…
COMMERCIAL BREAK
When we came back from the break the CEO of the World Wrestling Alliance NAPOLEON KING was in the ring with his sons AUGUSTUS & MAXIMUS.
KING: Allow me to be the first to welcome you to a new era here in the World Wrestling Alliance. As many of you know my name is Napoleon King and I am the CEO of the World Wrestling Alliance. Monday Night MAXX has been a dream of mine for some time. I want the competition in the WWA to be the best in Legendary Wrestling. No other company has the reputation. No other company has as much passion. And no other company has the depth of talent that the WWA has. Now, it has come to my attention that quote/unquote talent in another wrestling promotion has said some rather derogatory things about me and my company. And I assure you that I am seeking legal counsel. In short I refuse to allow some upstart wrestling promotion use me or my company to promote their product. I have worked too hard to let that happen. And if this derision of my company continues I will demand that Main Event Sports, or RING OF GLORY, ceases operations. And if Vincent O’Shaughnessy and his company don’t think I’m man enough or have the power to make this happen; I have two words for them… “Try me.” On behalf of my sons, Augustus and Maximus and my entire family and the WWA Legends I want to thank the loyal fans of the World Wrestling Alliance for their continued support and please enjoy the rest of the premiere episode of WWA Monday Night MAXX.
SCHIAVONE: Strong words from the CEO of the WWA.
CRIMSON: Did you see the look on Max’s face when King started talking about shutting down the competition? I don’t think he agrees with his pop. I’m eager to see how this all plays out.
SCHIAVONE: Well fans, let’s head back to the ring as we get set for tag team action.
THE BRITISH BULLDOGS vs. THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS A classic tag team battle came to an end when THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS defeated THE BRITISH BULLDOGS after DYNAMITE KID submitted to AL COSTELLO’S Marble Bor Leglock…
Winners of the match... AL COSTELLO... ROY HEFFERNAN... THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS!
SCHIAVONE: A great tag team match. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, it didn’t turn out the way they wanted.
CRIMSON: I gotta say, the Fabulous Kangaroos have been the hottest team in the WWA. Tag Team titleholders better watch out. I can see Costello and Heffernan wearing championship gold sooner rather than later.
SCHIAVONE: Fans when we come back Monday Night MAXX will continue with the one and only “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers. We’ll see you in two minutes.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the commercial we went right back to the action
“Nature Boy” BUDDY ROGERS vs. CHRIS CANDIDO CANDIDO was outmatched by ROGERS who defeated “the Blond Bomber” by submission with the Figure-Four Grapevine.
Winner of the match... "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers!
After the match ROGERS has something to say:
ROGERS: I’d like to take this opportunity to announce my entry into The 2012 BattleBowl. I’ve won it twice. And when I look around at the talent here in the WWA I can personally guarantee that the “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers will win it one more time. And I will strut into WrestleWars VI and walk out as the Heavyweight Champion. And to a nicer guy it couldn’t happen…
SCHIAVONE: So, “Nature Boy” is officially the first entrant into this year’s BattleBowl. And as some of you may know, and as Rogers alluded to, the winner of the BattleBowl is guaranteed a championship match at WrestleWars, the biggest card on the WWA calendar.
CRIMSON: I gotta hand it to Rogers, he’s won it twice and if anyone knows what it takes to win it it’s obviously him. Wow! I can’t wait for THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL.
SCHIAVONE: Fans, when we return we’ll be all set for the debut of THE BEAST...
CRIMSON: Back in 120.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Back in the ring and we’re ready for the debut of…THE BEAST
THE BEAST vs. BRODIE LEE In his debut the masked man made quick work of the larger BRODIE LEE beating him, at first, by submission with the Fujiwara Armbar. After the match THE BEAST refused to relinquish the hold on his opponent. WWA security, official, and various wrestlers were unsuccessful in their attempts to break the hold. THE BEAST’S tenacity, however, forced the ref to reverse his decision and he gave the victory to LEE via disqualification. The sound of the bell was not enough and then finally “The Evil Headmaster” KEVIN SULLIVAN came down to the ring and demonstrated some sort of mental control over the masked man and then and only then did THE BEAST relinquish his hold. SULLIVAN then led THE BEAST backstage.
SCHIAVONE: An auspicious debut for The Beast. It looks like Kevin Sullivan has a new disciple.
CRIMSON: Yeah and I feel sorry for whoever The School of Night turn their attention to rather it’s “The Legendary” Johnny Valentine or the World Heavyweight Champion the Hulkster.
SCHIAVONE: Speaking of Johnny Valentine; he’s in our main event tonight as he faces off against Harley Race.
CRIMSON: Yeah, that’s gonna be a fight. I can’t wait.
SCHIAVONE: But when we return fans we’ll have the WWA Tag Team Championship Match between The Midnight Express and The Dudley Boyz. But before that we’ll have our first “Backstage MAXX” segment with April Hunter; her guest will be none other than the World Wrestling Alliance Champion Lou Thesz. That’s all coming up when WWA Monday Night MAXX returns.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Back from the commercial break and we’re set for “Backstage MAXX” with our host APRIL HUNTER…
APRIL: Hello and welcome to Backstage MAXX; I’m your host April Hunter and I’m joined at this time by the World Wrestling Alliance Champion, “The Legend of Legends” Lou Thesz. Mr. Thesz welcome to Backstage MAXX.
THESZ: Thank you.
APRIL: Later tonight you will be signing a contract for a title unification match against Hulk Hogan at the 2012 BattleBowl What are your thoughts on this historic match-up?
THESZ: Well, you know April, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I came to the World Wrestling Alliance to face the best that Legendary Wrestling has to offer. And as historic as this match may be with Hogan… quite frankly I’m a little disappointed.
APRIL: “Disappointed?” Would you care to elaborate?
THESZ: Hulk Hogan? I came to wrestle. I came to wrestle other wrestlers. And at the first big card of the year I’m meeting Hulk Hogan for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World. Don’t misunderstand me; I’m honored at getting an opportunity to win that belt. But Hulk Hogan is not a wrestler. He’s a sports entertainer. And being a sports entertainer I don’t think he knows the difference between a wristwatch and a wristlock. Posing and punching can only get you so far. And unfortunately for Hogan it is not going to get him the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World.
APRIL: Thanks champ. I’ll be back later with the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan. I send it back to you Tony and Jimmy on the MAXX Stage…
CRIMSON: Wow! Doesn’t look like Thesz has a lotta respect for the Hulkster, saying Hogan’s “not a wrestler.” Wow! Strong words. He’d better hope that the big man don’t get word of that.
SCHIAVONE: Well, I don’t know how he couldn’t. Anyway fans, as you heard, April Hunter will back a little later with Hulk Hogan. But now fans it’s tag team championship time. The Midnight Express are putting the belts on the line against, the #1 contenders, The Dudley Boyz. Let’s go to the ring.
WWA Tag Team Championship Match THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS © vs. THE DUDLEY BOYZ THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS defeated THE DUDLEY BOYZ when “Beautiful” BOBBY EATON pinned BUBBA RAY DUDLEY following a Veg-a-Matic…
Winners of the match and still the World Wrestling Alliance Tag Team Champions… “Beautiful” BOBBY EATON… “Sweet” STAN LANE… THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!
SCHIAVONE: Tough loss for the Dudleyz. It looks like they’re going to have to climb the ranks to get back into title contention.
CRIMSON: I’m a fan of the Dudleys but that’s easier said than done. The tag team division here in the WWA, with the Kangaroos, the New Age Outlaws, not to mention the Road Warriors, is tough, man. But if anyone can do it it’s those damn Dudleyz.
SCHIAVONE: Speaking of the Road Warriors they’ll be joining us a little later when they get their rematch against The Powers of Pain for the World Tag Team Championship. But coming up after the break, Madison Square Garden’s favorite wrestler Bruno Sammartino will defend the United States Championship in a Grudge Match against “The Terrible Turk” Youssuf Ishmaelo. It’s a match that that U.S. Champion requested.
CRIMSON: And he’s gonna get it, man. The Commander has Ishmaelo hungry and focused; a dangerous combination. I gotta tell ya, I don’t like the champ’s chances in this match.
SCHIAVONE: That match is coming up in two minutes…
COMMERCIAL BREAK
United States Championship Match BRUNO SAMMARTINO © vs. YOUSSUF ISHMAELO SAMMARTINO defeated ISHMAELO by submission with the Sammartino Backbreaker.
Winner of the match and still the United States Champion… BRUNO… SAMMARTINO!
However, the end of the match only marked the beginning of the beatdown on BRUNO as Ishmaelo was joined not only by THE COMMANDER but also two newcomers… BORIS ZHUKOV & THE MISSING LINK. The beating continued until THE BRITISH BULLDOGS and EDDIE GUERRERO came down to the ring and made the save. As THE COMMANDER led his charges out of the arena the rowdy MSG crowd showered them with drinks and cups and whatever they could throw.
SCHIAVONE: The environment here in Madison Square Garden just got really hostile. I’ve never seen anything like this. The crowd has really gotten on The Commander and his minions.
CRIMSON: That just goes to show you, You don’t mess with New York City’s guys. And Bruno Sammartino is most definitely New York’s guy. Wow! What a night it’s been.
SCHIAVONE: Things are going to get a lot hotter and more intense as The Road Warriors attempt to regain the World Tag Team Championship. That’s coming up right after we hear from April Hunter and Hulk Hogan…
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Back from the commercial break and we’re set for our second edition of “Backstage MAXX” with our host APRIL HUNTER…
APRIL: Hello fans. I’m back with the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan. Hulkster did you hear the comments made about you by Lou Thesz?
HOGAN: I heard them April. And I gotta message for Lou Thesz. Listen to me, brother, you don’t know anything about me. You’ve never stepped foot in the ring with Hulkamania and the largest arms in the World, brother. When you stare across the ring at Hulk Hogan, dude, all the training, all the accolades, all of it goes out the window, brother. And coming up at the 2012 BattleBowl. Lou Thesz, the so-called “Legend of Legends” will know first hand what’s it like to step into the ring with Hulk Hogan.
APRIL: What about your thoughts on his comments about your lack of wrestling knowledge? How do you respond to that?
HOGAN: You know something, April Hunter; maybe I don’t have the amateur background. But I’ve paid my dues. I deserve his respect. I might not be the wrestler that Lou Thesz is but I’ve done more for this sport than he’s ever done. Hulkamania’s bigger than any wristlock, Thesz press or stepover toehold, brother. And tonight, bra, I gotta little surprise for Lou Thesz. Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?
APRIL: Let’s head back to the ring for our next match.
Back to the ring and we’re set for the World Tag Team Championship Match…
World Tag Team Championship Match THE POWERS OF PAIN © vs. THE ROAD WARRIORS THE ROAD WARRIORS had their hands full in regaining the World Tag Team Championships from THE POWERS OF PAIN. The end came when ANIMAL pinned BARBARIAN following an Overhead Powerslam… As the three count was made THE POWERS OF PAIN manager “Captain” LOU ALBANO, showing his frustration, threw in the towel and stormed out of Madison Square Garden…
Winners of the match and once again the World Tag Team Champions… HAWK… ANIMAL… THE ROAD WARRIORS!
SCHIAVONE: A great victory for the Road Warriors as they regain the World Tag Team Championship. They looked great and ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.
CRIMSON: Could this mean a unification match between The Road Warriors and The Midnight Express? Talk about Legendary Wrestling; the World Wrestling Alliance is the home of it. The best Legendary wrestling on the planet. I can’t wait for what’s next.
SCHIAVONE: Fans, our main event is coming up next. Stay tuned to WWA Monday Night MAXX!
CRIMSON: Both of these guys are pissed off following hard losses at Holiday Havoc and they’re looking to take it out on each other and I can’t wait.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
We return from the break and it’s time for the first main event in the history of WWA Monday Night MAXX.
MAIN EVENT “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE vs. HARLEY RACE From the opening bell RACE took it to VALENTINE. However, VALENTINE fought back and it ended up being a hard fought back and forth match. However, VALENTINE defeated RACE by pinfall following an Atomic Skullcrusher…
Winner of the match… “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE!
After the match VALENTINE announced his entry into the 2012 BattleBowl.
SCHIAVONE: What a hard hitting match! I wouldn’t expect anything less from those two.
CRIMSON: And now Valentine tells us that he’s entering the BattleBowl. It’s non-stop excitement in the WWA!
SCHIAVONE: Well, coming up fans, we’ve been talking about it all night; up next is “The Hot Seat” where Bill Apter will host the contract signing of the Thesz/Hogan unification match coming up at THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL. Fans stay tuned. We’ll be right back.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
The Hot Seat with BILL APTER
After the break we’re back and set up in the ring is a table and two chairs. BILL APTER is joined by the World Wrestling Alliance Chairman of the Championship Trust DICK HUTTON and the General Manager of Monday Night MAXX, “Classy” FREDDIE BLASSIE.
First the World Wrestling Alliance Champion LOU THESZ made his way to the ring.
And then it was time for the World Heavyweight Champion HULK HOGAN, who was met by a big pop, to make his way down to the ring.
APTER: I am joined in the ring by Dick Hutton and “Classy” Freddie Blassie. And it is time to make it official. It’s time to make the unification match between the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan and the WWA Champion Lou Thesz, without question the biggest match in not only the history of the World Wrestling Alliance but Legendary Wrestling, official. Gentlemen, if you would.
At this time both HUTTON and BLASSIE placed fountain pens on the table. Both men, Hogan and Thesz, gave the contract a look before signing it.
APTER: This contract clearly states that on Saturday February 4th in Miami, Florida at an event called THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL Hulk Hogan and Lou Thesz will compete in a match to determine the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.
The crowd rose to their feet.
HUTTON: The Championship Trust would like nothing more than for you two men to shake hands as a show of mutual respect and sportsmanship. And may the best man win.
Madison Square Garden trembled as the two legends, representing very different styles, shook hands.
But suddenly the World Heavyweight Champion struck…
HOGAN took THESZ’S hand and applied a fundamently sound wristlock to the WWA Champion. THESZ, taken by surprise, dropped his championship belt. HOGAN shoved THESZ away and walked out of the ring.
On his way out HOGAN, made a gesture as if to tell THESZ to “kiss his ass.”
THESZ just stood in the ring rubbed his wrist and stared down “THE HULKSTER.”
That’s it for The WWA Monday Night MAXX Re-Wind for January 2nd. I’ll be back next week with results from the January 9th episode.
Until then…
Keep it Rollin’ Promoters, -Tony

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Presents WWA Monday Night MAXX (1.2) Monday, January 9, 2012 – Providence, RI – Providence Civic Center
WWA Monday Night MAXX kicked off at the MAXX Stage with commentators TONY SCHIAVONE and JIMMY CRIMSON.
SCHIAVONE: “Hello fans and welcome to Providence, Rhode Island. I’m Tony Schiavone along with my broadcast partner Jimmy Crimson and we’re here to bring you two hours of the best Legendary Wrestling on television. This is WWA Monday Night MAXX.”
WWA Monday Night MAXX intro
SCHIAVONE: “Our main event tonight promises to be one of the great wrestling matches of all time. I’m talking about ‘The Icon’ Frank Gotch and Verne Gagne hooking up to unify the Intercontinental and Global Honor Crown Championships and that is only one of two championship matches on tap for tonight.”
CRIMSON: “That’s right, Tony, and with the added stipulations this is gonna be a real barnburner.”
SCHIAVONE: “That’s right. But more on that in a little bit. Right now let’s go down to the ring for our opening contest on MAXX.”
“The American Wolf” DAVEY RICHARDS vs. “The Maverick” J.D. MICHAELS RICHARDS got the best of MICHAELS in this hard fought match pinning “the Maverick” following a Northern Lights Suplex…
Winner of the match… “The American Wolf”… DAVEY RICHARDS!
SCHIAVONE: “Wow, two youngsters trying to make names for themselves here in the WWA really went at it. I think Richards got a little more than he bargained for from J.D. Michaels.”
CRIMSON: “No doubt about it, Tony. But I think ‘the American Wolf’ is here to stay and looking to make an impact going forward without his longtime tag team partner.”
SCHIAVONE: “Yeah, well, that’s how it sometimes goes in this great sport. But fans coming up next we have tag team action for you featuring the former WWA Tag Team Champions the New Age Outlaws. The action’s just beginning here on MAXX and we’ll be back in two minutes to bring you more. Stay with us.”
CRIMSON: “Monday Night MAXX baby!”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS vs. THE BAD BOY X-PRESS The new tag team of “Lascivious” LANNY POFFO and “Dastardly” DANNY DORING upset the former WWA Tag Team Champions when “Lascivious” LANNY pinned “Road Dogg” JESSE JAMES following a sunset flip…
Winners of the match… “Lascivious” LANNY… “Dastardly” DANNY… THE BAD BOY X-PRESS!
SCHIAVONE: “Whoa! Looks like we just witnessed our first upset here on MAXX. The Bad Boy X-Press, “Lascivious” Lanny and “Dastardly” Danny, might prove to be a force in the tag team ranks here in the WWA.”
CRIMSON: “No doubt Poffo’s veteran savvy and Doring’s… chutzpah, make for an interesting team and a team that can give some other tag teams headaches.”
SCHIAVONE: “It’s now time fans for our first ‘Backstage: MAXX’ segment of the night. Take it away, April.”
Backstage: MAXX with APRIL HUNTER
APRIL: “Thanks Tony. I’m here with the Global Honor Crown Champion, Verne Gagne. Earlier today, Mr. Gagne, the General Manager of WWA Monday Night MAXX, “Classy” Freddie Blassie, announced that the title unification match tonight between you and the Intercontinental Champion ‘The Icon’ Frank Gotch would be 2 out of 3 falls. What are your thoughts on this announcement?”
GAGNE: “Well, April, I’ve always believed that championship matches should be 2 out of 3 falls. I don’t think there’s any better way to determine whose the best. As you know, anything can happen inside the squared circle and if you can beat your opponent twice, well that goes a long way in proving the better man.”
APRIL: “Do you have anything to say to your opponent tonight?”
GAGNE: “Well, maybe I’m old school, but I prefer to do my talking in the ring. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; ‘The Icon’ Frank Gotch, is a good wrestler, heck, he might even be a great wrestler, but he’s not Verne Gagne and I think I’m going to prove that tonight.”
APRIL: “Thanks Mr. Gagne, and the best of luck to you tonight.”
GAGNE: “Thanks, April, always a pleasure.”
APRIL: “Fans, WWA Monday Night MAXX will be back in two minutes with Curt Hennig and Bobo Brazil set to square off.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Back from the break and we’re set for more action:
BOBO BRAZIL vs. CURT HENNIG This hard fought match between two Legends came to an end when BRAZIL defeated HENNIG by pinfall following a Big Hammer Punch…
Winner of the match… BOBO BRAZIL!
After the match HENNIG called for a mic.
HENNIG: “I know you all saw that. Bobo Brazil is a cheater! This is bullsh*t! His g**damn fist was loaded. How else can you explain him knocking me the f**k out? There’s no way he’d be able to do that without an unfair advantage. You know what? Ever since this consolidation this place has totally sucked and I’m damn sick of it… You know what? I don’t have to take this. I’ve had offers. My talents are appreciated elsewhere. And I think everyone here in Providence and everyone watching at home knows exactly who and where I’m talking about. Main Event Sports…
At this time Hennig’s mic was shut off and the former WWA Champion threw it down in disgust, walked away from the ring and made a beeline for the MAXX Stage. But before he could get there…
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the abrupt break we go immediately to our next “Backstage: MAXX” segment where APRIL HUNTER is with the Intercontinental Champion, “The Icon” FRANK GOTCH…
Backstage: MAXX with April Hunter
APRIL: “Hey everybody, April Hunter back with Backstage: MAXX and with me now is the Intercontinental Champion, ‘The Icon’ Frank Gotch. Later tonight your will face Vern Gagne to unify the Intercontinental and Global Honor Crown Championships. Earlier we spoke of this match now being 2 out of 3 falls; I’d like to take this opportunity to announce an additional stipulation, this one made by the WWA Championship Trust, they’ve stated that, no matter the outcome of the match, there wouldn’t be a rematch. What are your thoughts on that Mr. Gotch?”
GOTCH: Gagne and ‘the Icon.” One time only; kind of sends chills down my spine. Now I’m not going to come out here and offer fake graciousness. Verne Gagne, you run your mouth talking about how I’m ‘no Verne Gagne.” First off, I’ve seen your wife and if I were you I wouldn’t want to come home to that either. Secondly, you’re right I am a great wrestler. But I’d go a little further; I’d go so far as to say I’m the best wrestler in the world. The fact of the matter is this, if it weren’t for me, there would be no Verne Gagne. There would be no Lou Thesz. In fact, there would be no sport of Legendary Wrestling. ‘The Icon’ is not some clever little name I gave myself. It’s a name I earned. I am bigger than the WWA; I am bigger than Legendary Wrestling itself. And tonight when I unify this Intercontinental and Gagne’s Global Honor Crown titles I will prove, once again, that I am the best wrestler in the WWA. And it doesn’t stop there. I have officially entered the 2012 BattleBowl and when I win that and roll into SuperClash VI and roll out the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, and it doesn’t matter if it’s against Thesz or Hogan or whoever, ‘the Age of the Icon’ will begin. Thank you, Miss Hunter, the pleasure was all yours.”
APRIL: “Well, he really didn’t answer my question but I guess he’s okay with the no rematch clause. Let’s go back to the ring.”
EDGE vs. KILLER KOWALSKI In an action-packed hard fought match EDGE pinned KOWALSKI following a Spear…
Winner of the match... "The Rated R Superstar... EDGE!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Back from the break and we return to the MAXX Stage with TONY SCHIAVONE and JIMMY CRIMSON.
SCHIAVONE: “Fans, while we have a break in the action, I want to take this opportunity and apologize for what happened with Curt Hennig. I assure you that was not planned. We apologize if the language was offensive to anyone at home and I can assure you that Mr. Hennig has been escorted away from the Providence Civic Center and we’ll not be hearing from him for the rest of the night.”
CRIMSON: “Wow, Curt was fired up…”
SCHIAVONE: “And we’ll just leave it at that. Up next fans we’re ready for championship action as The International Men of Mystery are set to defend the United States Tag Team Championships against the team they beat for the titles, Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson. Let’s go to the ring for our first championship match of the night.”
United States Tag Team Championship Match THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY © vs. TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON The battle continues between these two teams, however this time the outcome was different from their encounter at HOLIDAY HAVOC. This time TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON walked away with the U.S. Tag belts for the third time. The end came when ATLAS, in an impressive show of strength, pinned “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG following a Gorilla Press Slam…
Winners of the match and once again the new United States Tag Team Champions…TONY ATLAS and ROCKY JOHNSON!
SCHIAVONE: “Atlas and Johnson are now three time United States Tag Team Champions. What a great rivalry this has become in such a short amount of time. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Atlas and Johnson and The IMM.”
CRIMSON: “Without a doubt, Tony Schiavone, even in a loss, the team of Hennig and Condrey are for real. There’s more to come between these two teams.”
SCHIAVONE: “When we come back fans we’ll be in the Hot Seat with Bill Apter. Stay tuned.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the break we’re set for...
The Hot Seat with BILL APTER.
APTER: “Hello fans and welcome back to WWA Monday Night MAXX. My guests this week in “The Hot Seat” are Devastation Incorporated.”
At this time THE COMMANDER led “The Terrible Turk” YOUSSUF ISHMAELO, BORIS ZHUKOV & THE MISSING LINK down to the ring. Needless to say DEVASTATION INCORPORATED was met by a chorus of boos…
APTER: “Commander, last week on the broadcast you orchestrated a three on one attack on the United States Champion, Bruno Sammartino. He’ll be back. But why have you targeted a man adored the world around. What is your endgame?”
COMMANDER: “Well, Bill Apter, this isn’t about titles, this isn’t even about money. It’s about total domination; the purest form of endgame. There’s no method to our madness. We do it because we can, because we won’t to, because it is what we were created to do. And Bruno Sammartino and his little friends the Bulldogs and Eddie Guerrero are standing in our way.”
APTER: “Speaking of the British Bulldogs and Eddie Guerrero; they have challenged your men to a six-man match right here next week on MAXX.”
COMMANDER: “What? You think this is news to me? You don’t get to be a military genius by accident. You have to have foresight. This was all part of the plan. They’ve played into our hands. And right here next week we will dominate them just like we dominated Sammartino; and just like we’ll dominate… no, no, no… we’ll devastate anyone who gets in our way. World Wrestling Alliance consider this your one and only warning.”
APTER: “That’s it for The Hot Seat. I’ll be back next week with my guest ‘Nature Boy’ Buddy Rogers. I throw it back to you Tony and Jimmy.”
SCHIAVONE: “Thanks Bill. It is now time for our main event and the second championship match of the night.”
CRIMSON: “I hope all you fans watching at home are buckled up; it’s gonna be a crazy ride and I’m ready. It’s go time, baby!”
(MAIN EVENT) 2 out of 3 Falls Match to Unify the Intercontinental and Global Honor Crown Championships “The Icon” FRANK GOTCH vs. VERNE GAGNE (Intercontinental Champion) (Global Honor Crown Champion)
1st FALL This intense, action-packed fall was won by GAGNE when GOTCH fell victim to the Gagne Sleeper…
GAGNE -1; GOTCH - 0
2nd FALL The intensity was kicked up a notch as both men battled with all they had. After about 20 minutes of action, GOTCH nailed GAGNE with an Iowa Backdrop to pick up the pinfall victory and tie it up at 1 fall a piece…
GAGNE – 1; GOTCH – 1
3rd FALL After the intensity and sheer determination of both men in the second, this fall felt a little anti-climactic. However, a missed Deathjump by GAGNE allowed GOTCH to hook on the Gotch Toehold and earn the submission victory…
Winner of the third and final fall and still Intercontinental Champion and the new Global Honor Crown Champion… “The Icon”… FRANK GOTCH!
That’s it for The Monday Night MAXX Re-Wind for January 9th. I’ll be back next week with results from the January 16th episode of WWA Monday Night MAXX.
Until then…
Keep it Rollin’ Promoters, -Tony

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Presents WWA Monday Night MAXX (1.3) Monday, January 16, 2012 – Boston, MA – Boston Garden
WWA Monday Night MAXX kicked off at the MAXX Stage with commentators TONY SCHIAVONE and JIMMY CRIMSON.
SCHIAVONE: “Hello fans and welcome to Boston, Massachusetts. I’m Tony Schiavone along with my broadcast partner Jimmy Crimson and we’re here to bring you two hours of the best Legendary Wrestling on television. This is WWA Monday Night MAXX.”
WWA Monday Night MAXX intro
SCHIAVONE: “We have an action-packed two hours set to come your way tonight; featuring two Main Events; two Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Matches.”
CRIMSON: “That’s right, Tony, we have the World Wrestling Alliance Champion Lou Thesz facing off against Jake “the Snake” Roberts. Not to be outdone, Thesz has set up a match tonight with the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan going one-on-one against Ed “Strangler” Lewis. It’s gonna be off the charts!”
SCHIAVONE: “But first fans we have two young tag teams trying to make a name for themselves here in the World Wrestling Alliance. Let’s go to the ring for our opening contest here on WWA Monday Night MAXX!”
TEAM FURY vs. PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK TEAM FURY (ICARUS & GRAN AKUMA) defeated the team of LONDON & KENDRICK in a high-flying match when LONDON submitted to the Wings of Icarus… Winners of the match as a result of a submission… GRAN AKUMA and ICARUS… TEAM FURY!
SCHIAVONE: “An impressive victory for Team Fury. But a great showing by both teams.”
CRIMSON: “I tell ya, Tony, week after week, the tag team division in the WWA keeps getting deeper and deeper. I hope to see a lot more of both Team Fury and Paul London and Brian Kendrick.”
SCHIAVONE: “You and me both partner. But coming up next we have the Monday Night MAXX debut of the controversial “Playboy” Buddy Rose. He’ll hook it up with Nigel McGuinness, also in his first appearance on MAXX, in two minutes.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
“Playboy” BUDDY ROSE vs. NIGEL McGUINNESS ROSE, in his first MAXX appearance, bested McGUINNESS in an action-packed back and forth match. The “Playboy” got the pinfall victory following a “Bombs Away” Inverted DDT… Winner of the match… “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE!
SCHIAVONE: “An impressive victory for “Playboy” Buddy Rose and a toug loss for Nigel McGuinness.”
CRIMSON: “That was one of those matches when men, no matter if they won or loss, come out looking better than they did going in.”
SCHIAVONE: “Fans, it is now time for Backstage: MAXX. Let’s go to April Hunter, backstage here in Boston.”
Backstage: MAXX with APRIL HUNTER
APRIL: “Thanks Tony and Jimmy. Hello fans and welcome to Backstage MAXX; I’m April Hunter. And with me now is the World Heavyweight Champion, the one and only Hulk Hogan! Tonight, Hulkster, the MAXX General Manager “Classy” Freddie Blassie has signed two Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Matches. Who have you chosen to face your 2012 BattleBowl opponent, the World Wrestling Alliance Champion Lou Thesz?”
HOGAN: “Well, let me tell you something April Hunter, when I heard about these matches tonight, the Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Matches, I chose the most venomous Legend in the WWA. I chose Jake ‘the Snake’ Roberts.”
At this time APRIL and HOGAN are joined by JAKE “the Snake” ROBERTS.
APRIL: “Jake, you’ve got Lou Thesz tonight. What are your thoughts?”
JAKE: “Heh, heh, heh. Lou Thesz; the Legend of Legends. When Hulk Hogan asked me to take this match against Thesz, I was well aware of the challenge. But you see, Lou Thesz, you’ve traveled the world over; but I wonder how you’d do if you came face to face with the dark side of humanity; the avarice, the rage, the…evil. Make no mistake Lou Thesz, I have walked in the valley of the shadow of death and it was not quite cold enough, not nearly dark enough. Tonight, Lou Thesz, heh, heh, heh, you will dance with the devil.”
HOGAN: “Whatcha gonna do, Lou Thesz, when the dark side and Hulkamania run wild on you?”
APRIL: So, it’s going to be Thesz and the ‘Snake’ a little later tonight. But coming up on the other side of the commercial break we’ll see Bret “Hitman” Hart in action against “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff. See you in two minutes.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
BRET “Hitman” HART vs. “Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF Another action-packed, hard hitting match ended when ORNDORFF tapped out to the Hitman’s Sharpshooter… Winner of the match by submission… BRET… "Hitman"… HART!
SCHIAVONE: “Bret Hart looks to be ready for the BattleBowl.”
CRIMSON: “I think he’s got a run at Gotch in mind. Man, he was intense.”
SCHIAVONE: Speaking of BattleBowl; when we come back it will be time for our first BattleBowl Event Center. We’ll be right back.”
CRIMSON: “Monday Night MAXX!”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
The 2012 BATTLEBOWL Event Center with BILL APTER
APTER: “Hello fans and welcome to THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL Event Center I’m Bill Apter reporting. THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL will be coming your way, the night before the Super Bowl, on Saturday night February 4th. Fans, the BATTLEBOWL is the event that ushers in the New Year and sets not only the stage for SUPERCLASH but sets the pace for the year ahead.
This year’s BATTLEBOWL will feature the highly anticipated unification match between the World Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan and the World Wrestling Alliance Champion, Lou Thesz. Only one man can emerge from THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL as the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World!
In addition fans, another unification match has been added to the event. The Road Warriors and The Midnight Express will meet to unify the World and WWA Tag Team Championships.
These two matches will bring the WWA Consolidation to a close.
As you know the winner of the BattleBowl will receive an automatic World Heavyweight Championship match at SUPERCLASH VI.
Next week right here in the Event Center. We will discuss, in depth, the rules and regulations of the BattleBowl.
I’m Bill Apter and this has been THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL Event Center. Now let’s head back to the ring for more WWA Monday Night MAXX.”
THE BRITISH BULLDOGS & EDDIE GUERRERO vs. DEVASTATION INCORPORATED (ISHMAELO, ZHUKOV & LINK) The Bulldogs and Guerrero came out on top in this fast and furious match. The end came when GUERRERO pinned THE MISSING LINK following back to back Tornado DDTs… Winners of the match the team of… THE BRITISH BULLDOGS and EDDIE… GUERRERO!
SCHIAVONE: “A great match. It seems that The Commander, and his plan for domination here in the WWA, didn’t expect such resistance from The British Bulldogs and Eddie Guerrero. This all stems from Devastation Incorporated’s attack a couple weeks ago on the United States Champion Bruno Sammartino. Who we haven’s seen since.”
CRIMSON: “I wouldn’t worry too much about the big guy he’ll be back when he’s good and ready. I gotta tell you this rivalry has really escalated over the past couple weeks and it’s all gonna come to a head at THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL.”
SCHIAVONE: “All right fans, coming up next is our first Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Match between Lou Thesz and Jake “the Snake” Roberts. We’ll be back in two minutes.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Match LOU THESZ vs. JAKE “the Snake” ROBERTS The WWA Champion LOU THESZ outwrestled and defeated JAKE “the Snake” ROBERTS by pinfall following a Greco-Roman Backdrop… Winner of the match the World Wrestling Alliance Champion… LOU… THESZ!
SCHIAVONE: “A real statement by the WWA Champion; he’s not afraid of the darkside. He really took the match to ‘the Snake.’
CRIMSON: “That’s why he’s the World Wrestling Alliance Champion and that’s why, I think, Hogan’s gonna have his hands full coming up at BATTLEBOWL.”
SCHIAVONE: “We’re not through yet. We have another Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Match. Just ahead. Stay tuned.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
We come back from the break and we’re ready for our second Main Event.
Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Match HULK HOGAN vs. ED “Strangler” LEWIS HOGAN defeated LEWIS by countout when JAKE “the Snake” ROBERTS came out to the ring and DDT’d “the Strangler” on the concrete floor. Winner of the match as a result of a countout the World Heavyweight Champion… HULK… HOGAN!
After the match LOU THESZ came down to the ring to check on his friend. THESZ incensed by what happened climbed into the ring to get his hands on HOGAN, however WWA security was able to head him off …
HOGAN looked on stunned as THESZ berated the World Heavyweight Champion…
THESZ: “You did this! You set this up!”
HOGAN pled his case...
HOGAN: "I had nothing to do with this, brother! It's all him."
...and kept pointing up at ROBERTS who stood on the ramp and watched the proceedings with a sick smile on his face.
But right before WWA Monday Night MAXX went off the air, a sound echoed throughout Boston Gardens. The sound of breaking glass and a heavy metal riff. It was enough to stop THESZ and HOGAN in their tracks and brought the capacity crowd to their feet…
CRIMSON: “Does that mean? Is that who I think it is?”
SCHIAVONE: “I’m sorry. We need to sign off. We’ll see you next week on WWA Monday Night MAXX.”
That’s it for The WWA Monday Night MAXX Re-Wind for January 16th. I’ll be back next week with results from the January 23rd episode.
Until then…
Keep it Rollin’ Promoters, -Tony

I'm up-to-date on the action and the action continues to be fun and entertaining. I like the name of Team Fury for Icarus & Gran Akuma and them beating London & Kendrick is all good. It's cool to see Buddy Rose gaining his first MAXX victory, it's always good seeing Rose win...

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Presents WWA MONDAY NIGHT MAXX (1.4) Monday, January 23, 2012 – Philadelphia, PA – The Spectrum
“WWA Monday Night MAXX” kicked off at the MAXX Stage with commentators TONY SCHIAVONE and JIMMY CRIMSON.
SCHIAVONE: Hello fans and welcome to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’m Tony Schiavone along with my broadcast partner Jimmy Crimson and we’re here to bring you two hours of the best Legendary Wrestling on television. This is “WWA Monday Night MAXX.”
WWA Monday Night MAXX intro
SCHIAVONE: Tonight fans we have another big main event for you. It seems that, the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan has gone out and got himself a tag team partner and he’s challenged the WWA Champion Lou Thesz to do the same.
CRIMSON: No word yet from Hogan as to who his tag team partner’s gonna be, or Thesz’s for that matter, but the two teams are gonna hook it up tonight, right here on “Monday Night MAXX.”
SCHIAVONE: But before we get started with the action this week we need to address something that arose last week in the closing moments of the broadcast. Let’s go to the video.
VIDEO: (See the 01/16/12 posting for details)
SCHIAVONE: There at the end of that video you heard the sound of breaking glass…
CRIMSON: Ha, ha, ha, you hear the glass that means your ass.
SCHIAVONE: That’s right. We now have confirmation that coming to the World Wrestling Alliance is none other than...
CRIMSON: Stone Cold! Stone Cold!
SCHIAVONE: “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is on his way into the WWA. Fans, he is scheduled to make his Legendary Wrestling debut on the February 6th episode of “WWA Monday Night MAXX.” That’s two days after BattleBowl. And there’s no need for me to tell you this but the World Wrestling Alliance will never be the same.
CRIMSON: I can’t wait. On February 6th, if I can quote the great Jim Ross, business is damn sure gonna pick up.
SCHIAVONE: Fans, let’s turn our attention to the here and now and our first match of the night. Let’s go to the ring!
“Lightning” MIKE QUACKENBUSH vs. RODERICK STRONGMAXX kicked off with an exciting match that came to an end when STRONG was disqualified for launching QUACKENBUSH into a ringpost… Winner of the match as a result of a disqualification… “Lightning”… MIKE QUACKENBUSH!
SCHIAVONE: A high octane match to kick off MAXX. These two athletes have a bright future ahead of them.
CRIMSON: That’s right. It’s matches like that and athletes of that caliber that are gonna be the foundation of the Full Throttle Division.
SCHIAVONE: That’s right fans, look for the Full Throttle Division coming soon and more information about that in the coming weeks. Fans, when we come back from the break we’re going to go backstage with April Hunter and that’s coming up in two minutes.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the break we’re ready for…
BACKSTAGE: MAXX with APRIL HUNTER APRIL: Hello fans and welcome to Backstage: MAXX I’m your host April Hunter and with me now, a regular on Backstage, the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan. Hulkster, you’ve challenged the WWA Champion Lou Thesz to find a tag team partner for a match tonight. But first, you’d like to take this opportunity to introduce your tag team partner.
HOGAN: Well, let me tell you something April Hunter! You see over the last couple weeks I don’t know where Jake “the Snake” Roberts is coming from. And speaking of the Snake; Lou Thesz, I had nothing to do with what happened to Ed Lewis last week. Roberts was working on his own volition, brother. That brings me to the here and now. Coming into tonight’s tag team match I needed to find someone I could trust; someone who I know’s got my back. I’m not talking about just any tag team partner. I’m talking about my former World Tag Team Championship partner; I’m talking about Andre the Giant!
At this time ANDRE THE GIANT walked out and shook HOGAN’s hand.
APRIL: Andre, your thoughts.
ANDRE: Hulk Hogan is my friend. He needed me and here I am. Lou Thesz it doesn’t matter to me who you get as your tag team partner. I am ready for a fight.
HOGAN: Lou Thesz, whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania and the Eighth Wonder of the World run wild on you?
APRIL: Let’s go back to the ring.
EDDIE GUERRERO vs. BORIS ZHUKOVGUERRERO dominated ZHUKOV in this match and scored the pinfall victory after a Frog Splash.... Winner of the match… EDDIE GUERRERO!
After the match EDDIE was attacked by DEVASTATION INCORPORATED until THE BRITISH BULLDOGS made the save…

SCHIAVONE: Welcome back to “WWA Monday Night MAXX.” We are just moments away from the United States Tag Team Championship match featuring Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson defending the belts against “Pretty Boy” Larry Hennig and “Loverboy” Dennis Condrey, the International Men of Mystery.
CRIMSON: These two teams have made a habit of trading the U.S. tag belts back and forth over the past couple of weeks. Tonight is a rematch from when Atlas and Johnson regained the belts two weeks ago.
SCHIAVONE: So here we go fans, yet another chapter in the saga that has become Atlas and Johnson and The International Men of Mystery. The United States Tag Team Championships are on the line. Let’s go to the ring.
United States Tag Team Championship Match TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON © vs. THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY HENNIG & CONDREY defeated the team of ATLAS & JOHNSON when HENNIG pinned ATLAS following “the Axe.” Winners of the match and once again the NEW United States Tag Team Champions… “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG… “Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY… THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY!
SCHIAVONE: And the beat keeps going. For the third time since Christmas, and the second time since the debut of Monday Night MAXX, we have new United States Tag Team Champions. This rivalry is far from over.
CRIMSON: I dunno, man, this is exciting! It’s gonna be a long, long time before there’s any type of closure between these two teams.
SCHIAVONE: Fans, it is know time for the latest news about The 2012 BattleBowl. We go now to Bill Apter in the Event Center.
“THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL Event Center” with BILL APTER APTER: Hello fans and welcome to THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL Event Center, I’m your host Bill Apter. We are only a few weeks away from this year’s BattleBowl event and things are really starting to heat up here in the WWA. Already, fans, we have a match for the ages; Lou Thesz and Hulk Hogan for the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the World! Fans, this has all the makings of one of the greatest match of all time. In addition to Hogan and Thesz we have the WWA World Tag Team Championship match between The Midnight Express and The Road Warriors. Two big matches one big event and there’s more to come. Last week here in the Event Center I said I’d talk about the actual BattleBowl…
• There are two divisions; Blue and Red. • There are 32 wrestlers in the BattleBowl; 16 in each division; which will make up eight teams of four. • These eight teams will meet within their division in four elimination matches. • The survivors from the Blue division will then face-off against the survivors from the Red division. • When one division is out of wrestlers the remaining wrestlers will then meet in an elimination-type match and this will continue until there is only one man left. • And as you know the last man standing will then receive an automatic World Heavyweight Championship match at SuperClash VI.
APTER: Well, fans, there you have it the rules and stipulations of the BattleBowl. It is without question a unique event that only the World Wrestling Alliance brings you. THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL will be coming to you live Saturday, February 4 from the Miami Arena. Fans, you do not want to miss THE 2012 BATTLBOWL. I’m Bill Apter and "WWA Monday Night MAXX" will return after a word from our sponsor.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
SCHIAVONE: Welcome back to “Monday Night MAXX.” Up next we have a match that promises to be a technical showcase as the Intercontinental Champion “The Icon” Frank Gotch goes one-on-one with “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson in non-title action. Let’s go to the ring.
“The Icon” FRANK GOTCH vs. “The American Dragon” BRYAN DANIELSON (Non-Title Match) DANIELSON dominated GOTCH but was only able to earn a countout victory over the Intercontinental Champion when GOTCH walked out on the match… Winner of the match as a result of a countout… “The American Dragon”… BRYAN DANIELSON!
SCHIAVONE: Did we just witness Gotch getting outwrestled by Danielson? I knew the kid was good but…
CRIMSON: Wow, I didn’t see that coming. “The Icon” headed for higher ground. He’s still the Intercontinental Champion, even though the title wasn’t on the line, so I guess that’s what matters.
SCHIAVONE: After the break we’ve got a big match coming up as “The Rated R Superstar” Edge will lock up with “The Legendary” Johnny Valentine. Fans, that match is next.
CRIMSON: "Monday Night MAXX," baby!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the break we head back into the ring for EDGE and VALENTINE.
EDGE vs. “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE A back and forth, action-packed, hard fought match between two great wrestlers came to an end when EDGE picked up the pinfall victory over VALENTINE following a “Spear." Winner of the match as a result of a pinfall... "The Rated-R Superstar"... EDGE!
SCHIAVONE: Right there was a prime example of two Legends ready for the BattleBowl. Edge looking to get into the title hunt, and he should be considered after that performance.
CRIMSON: What about Valentine? He’s looking to get back into the title picture. Both looked great in that match-up.
SCHIAVONE: Without a doubt. But now fans it’s time once again to go backstage with April Hunter. Take it away.
BACKSTAGE: MAXX with APRIL HUNTER APRIL: Thanks Tony and welcome back to Backstage: MAXX. Here with me know is the WWA Champion Lou Thesz. Mr. Thesz, you’ve accepted Hogan’s challenge to a tag team match tonight.
THESZ: That’s right.
APRIL: And have you found a tag team partner?
THESZ: Yes.
APRIL: Let’s bring him in.
At this time BIG VAN VADER walks in.
APRIL: Why Vader?
THESZ: He’s dominated Andre over the past few months and he seemed the best choice.
VADER: I agreed to be Thesz’s tag team partner on two conditions: One: I get to beat up Andre the Giant again and… Two: I get the first shot at the World Heavyweight Championship when Thesz beats Hogan at BATTLEBOWL. It’s Vader time!
APRIL: Fans, we’ll be right back with our main event.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
When we come back from the break it’s time for the "WWA Monday Night MAXX" Main Event…
MAIN EVENT HULK HOGAN & ANDRE THE GIANT vs. LOU THESZ & BIG VAN VADER VADER continued his dominance over ANDRE by picking up the pinfall victory for his team after he planted ANDRE with a Powerbomb.

THE WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Presents WWA Monday Night MAXX (1.5) January 30, 2012 – Baltimore, MD – Baltimore Arena
WWA Monday Night MAXX kicked off at the MAXX Stage with commentators TONY SCHIAVONE and JIMMY CRIMSON.
SCHIAVONE: “Hello fans and welcome to Baltimore, Maryland. I’m Tony Schiavone along with my broadcast partner Jimmy Crimson and we’re here to bring you two hours of the best Legendary Wrestling on television. This is WWA Monday Night MAXX.”
WWA Monday Night MAXX intro
SCHIAVONE: “Tonight fans we have two big main events for you heading into this Saturday’s BattleBowl. In the first match the World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan will meet Kevin Sullivan’s new protégé The Beast. And in the other the WWA Champion Lou Thesz will go one-on-one with Bruiser Brody. Both of these matches, of course, are non-title affairs. It’s interesting to point out, Jimmy, that both Hogan and Thesz handpicked their opponents for tonight.”
CRIMSON: “That’s right. Thesz and Hogan are looking to tune-up for this weekend’s big unification match.”
SCHIAVONE: “Can you explain to us Jimmy why these particular choices were made?”
CRIMSON: “Hogan chose the Beast, because even though we don’t know much about him, we do know that he is technically proficient just like Thesz. And Thesz chose Brody because he’s big like Hogan, he’s strong like Hogan and his style is very similar to the Hulkster’s. They’re both getting ready for THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL.”
SCHIAVONE: “Thanks for the insight, Jimmy. In addition to Thesz and Hogan tune-up matches; we have two tag team tune-up matches getting ready for the Tag Team Championships unification matches coming up at THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL. As the World Tag Team Champions the Road Warriors meet the New Age Outlaws and the Midnight Express meets the Powers of Pain. Both non-title matches as well. But enough talk. It’s now time to kick-off our action-packed edition of Monday Night MAXX with our first match-up.”
TEAM FURY vs. THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS A good back and forth tag team match came to an end when AL COSTELLO pinned GRAN AKUMA following a Boomerang… Winners of the match as a result of a pinfall… AL COSTELLO and ROY HEFFERNAN… THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the break the action continues with our next match…
TIGER MASK vs. AUSTIN ARIES A high octane, evenly fought match came to an end when TIGER MASK missed a Senton Splash and ARIES followed up with a “450 Splash” to pick up the pinfall victory… Winner of the match as a result of a pinfall… AUSTIN ARIES!
SCHIAVONE: “Wow that match left me breathless. An action-packed encounter between two evenly matched individuals to be sure.”
CRIMSON: “Unfortunately for Tiger Mask he hasn’t yet been able to beat Aries. Mask’s gotta be wondering what it’s gonna take to put away ‘A-Double’.”
SCHIAVONE: “Now, that’s the kind of action we’re going to see more often when the Cruiserweight division kicks off next month.”
CRIMSON: “That’s right, Tony. I can’t wait.”
SCHIAVONE: “Coming up next we have a 6-Man Elimination Match between The British Bulldogs and Eddie Guerrero and Devastation Incorporated. In two minutes when Monday Night MAXX returns.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the break we’re set for…

CRIMSON: “Monday Night MAXX, baby!”

First ‘The Icon’ Frank Gotch will defend the Intercontinental Championship against ‘The American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson; who as you know beat Gotch by countout last week right here on the program. When the champion, voluntarily, walked out of the ring. In addition fans, The International Men of Mystery will defend the United States Tag Team Championships against Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson. The rivalry between these two teams over the U.S. tag team titles has been well documented. But it says here that the MAXX General Manager, ‘Classy’ Freddie Blassie has added the stipulation that this will be a Final Encounter Match between these two teams. So the rivalry between the IMM and Atlas and Johnson will come to a head at THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL. But up next fans we have our double main event. That’s in two minutes. Stick around.”
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the break…
HULK HOGAN © vs. THE BEAST (Non-Title Match) The World Heavyweight Champion proved dominant as he defeated THE BEAT by pinfall following an Atomic Legdrop… Winner of the match as result of a pinfall the World Heavyweight Champion… HULK HOGAN!
COMMERCIAL BREAK
After the break we’re ready for our second main event…
LOU THESZ © vs. BRUISER BRODY (Non-Title Match) In an upset BRODY pinned the World Wrestling Alliance Champion after a Jumping Knee Smash… Winner of the match as a result of a pinfall… BRUISER BRODY!
After the match BRODY signaled for his NEW MEXICO DEATH SQUAD partner CACTUS JACK to come down to the ring.
CACTUS JACK responded and the two men proceeded to beat up the WWA Champion until HULK HOGAN came down to the ring to make the save.
After HOGAN had run off BRODY & CACTUS. LOU THESZ regained his feet. However, he was met by a right hand by the Hulkster, knocking him to the mat. HOGAN then followed up with an Atomic Legdrop to his BATTLEBOWL opponent.
The fans in attendance looked on stunned as HOGAN walked out of the Baltimore Arena.
That’s it for The WWA Monday Night MAXX Re-Wind for January 30. I’ll be back tomorrow with results from THE 2012 BATTLEBOWL.
Until then…

Wild! The Hulk Hogan & Lou Thesz story was exciting with Hogan making what seemed to be the save clobbers Thesz and then Thesz winning the Unification Match was Great! I'm hoping to see Bruiser Brody get a shot at Thesz and his belt and I'm happy the IMM are still at the top of the Tag Team Ranks as the US Champs. It'll be Fun to see what you have next Tony, keep it coming my Friend...
