WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, November 21, 2011 – Chicago, IL – United Center
In the first match of the night THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY defeated the team of JUSHIN “Thunder” LIGER, “Lightning” MIKE QUACKENBUSH & DELIRIOUS when “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG pinned QUACKENBUSH following "the Unprettier." After the match the WWA Global Grand Prix Champion “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE had something to say:
ROSE: You know when I woke up this morning it occurred to me that I don’t have a match at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS. NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS is one of the biggest nights of the year for the World Wrestling Alliance and I’ve been the most dominant champion this year. And I don’t have a match. When I won this belt back in July no one gave a damn about it. And here we are nearly four months later and no one has even come close to beating me for it. Not Danny Hodge, not “the American Dragon” and certainly not Chris Candido. So what’s left for me to do? You see like some other champions, “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers over on Powerhouse, I want to defend my championship. Because I know no one can beat me. So what’s left for me to do? Well, I guess if Dick Hutton, the Chairman, doesn’t want to give me a match I’ll just go get one for myself. So in three days, Thanksgiving night, Madison Square Garden, New York City, I’ll challenge anybody out there who thinks they have what it takes to take what I got. So, if you think you’ve got what it takes, come to NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS, and we’ll just see about that. “Playboy” Buddy Rose and the International Men of Mystery, the Intercontinental Tag Team Champions, out…
The WWA Prime General Manager “Classy” FREDDIE BLASSIE announced that he had made two matches for tonight. Two “Pick Your Opponent’s Poison” matches for HULK HOGAN and the World Heavyweight Champion “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE. Where each man will get the chance to set up a match between the man they will be facing at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS and an opponent to be named…
½ of the WWA Tag Team Champions, “Sweet” STAN LANE defeated 1//2 of the #1 Contenders D-VON DUDLEY by pinfall Timely interference on the behalf of the manager of THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, JIM CORNETTE allowed LANE to nail D-VON with a well-placed Superkick to pick up the pinfall victory…
It was announced that the CEO of KingSports Incorporated, the parent company of the World Wrestling Alliance, NAPOLEON KING would be at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS with news regarding the future of the WWA…
BRET “Hitman” HART defeated “The Icon” FRANK GOTCH by submission to earn an Intercontinental Championship Match at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS. After the match, GOTCH visibly upset over once again losing to HART, refused to shake “the Hitman’s” offered hand and walked out of the ring…
It was announced that EDGE & JAKE “the Snake” ROBERTS would team up and take on HELLBILLY JIM & NECRO BUTCHER, THE HILLJACKS at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS…
In the first Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Match the World Heavyweight Champion “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE defeated WWA Powerhouse’s CACTUS JACK by pinfall following a V-2…
In the second Pick Your Opponent’s Poison Match HULK HOGAN defeated WWA Powerhouse’s BRUISER BRODY by pinfall following an Atomic Legdrop.
After the match THE SCHOOL OF NIGHT led by KEVIN SULLIVAN came down to the ring. Fortunately, HOGAN was able to escape a potential three-on-one beating. However, that seemed to be a ploy because as HOGAN exited through the curtains the World Heavyweight Champion “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE leveled him with the championship belt.
As WWA Prime was going off the air VALENTINE standing over the fallen HOGAN raised the championship belt high in the air and pointed at KEVIN SULLIVAN. Who pointed back and laughed.
That’s it for The WWA Prime Re-Wind for November 21st. I’ll be back later with the full and complete card for NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS coming up live from Madison Square Garden on Thanksgiving Night.
Until then…
Keep it Rollin’ Promoters, -Tony

I really liked that Candido & Danielson defeated the Wolves and then the tension between C&D versus IMM was a great touch. "Brush with Greatness" Match is a great name and Valentine secures a good victory, but Doring ends his partnership with Roadkill is interesting. I really like that Six minute challenge by RVD and how do you keep track of time?
I really enjoyed the Rose comments about not having a match at Night of Legends and I'm wondering if anyone takes up the challenge, Fun Stuff going on as always...

And on behalf of myself, KingSports Incorporated and the World Wrestling Alliance we are thankful for your loyalty and support. However, in the last few months I have noticed that the quality of the product has been in a steady decline and running two weekly shows has really taken its toll on overall quality. And now that the World Wrestling Alliance is starting to feel the pressure from an outside source we at KingSports feel it is time to make a change. We at KingSports have decided that is time to consolidate the World Wrestling Alliance. Beginning at the first of the year there will be only one brand, only one show. This consolidation will begin tomorrow night live on WWA Powerhouse with an eye toward the consolidation being completed at BATTLEBOWL on Saturday Night, February 4th. Once again on behalf of everyone at the World Wrestling Alliance and KingSports we want to thank you for your support. And our sincerest hope is that you will continue to support the WWA as we bring it all together to bring you the best in Legendary Wrestling. Thank you and enjoy the rest of NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS.

The consolidation will be interesting and I'm wondering if every belt will be unified? A double dq ending to start the NoL is wild stuff and it's cool Verne Gagne retained. It's good to see the IMM retain the IC Tag Belts over CC & DB and it's fun seeing Rose retain the Grand Prix Championship...

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, November 25, 2011 – Atlantic City, NJ – Boardwalk Hall
At the top of the show the WWA Powerhouse General Manager, “The Mouth of the South” JIMMY HART announced that tonight the Consolidation of the World Wrestling Alliance would begin with a title unification match and a WWA Wrestling Challenge where two competitors would have to fight for the right to stay on the WWA Roster. In addition HART announced that the WWA’s next pay-per-view would be coming up on Christmas Night… HOLIDAY HAVOC…
The first match of the night featured the World Wrestling Alliance return of EDDIE GUERRERO who defeated RICKY LANDELL by pinfall following a Frog Splash. During the match “Dastardly” DANNY DORING came down to the ring and seemed to be scouting the match possibly looking for his next tag team partner. After the match, however, he climbed into the ring and hooked up LANDELL, the loser of the match, into a Danaconda. After relinquishing the hold, DORING told LANDELL:
DORING: “You ain’t got what it takes. Get out of the World Wrestling Alliance and don’t come back.”
THE WARLORD defeated ½ of the World Tag Team Champions, ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL by submission via the Full Nelson. After the match WARLORD’S tag team partner THE BARBARIAN came down to the ring but before any damage could be done ANIMAL’S tag team partner HAWK showed up with a steel chair and together he and ANIMAL ran off THE POWERS OF PAIN...
In a WWA Wrestling Challenge Match, ROB VAN DAM defeated MAGNUM TA in a hard fought bout by pinfall following a Five Star Frog Splash. As a result of his loss, MAGNUM TA must leave the World Wrestling Alliance…

In the main event a 2 out of 3 Falls Match to unify the WWA Global Grand Prix and World Honor Crown Championships VERNE GAGNE defeated “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE in two straight falls to become to first Global Honor Crown Champion. After the match ROSE laid down a challenge:
ROSE: Gagne, Gagne, you slippery son of a bitch why don’t you bring your new little championship belt to Vancouver this Monday and put it on the line against me on Prime. I’m invoking my rematch clause and if you don’t do it, Gagne, you’re a coward.
GAGNE: You want it? I can go again. I’ll see you in Vancouver.
That’s it for The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind for November 25. I’ll be back Tuesday with results from the November 28th episode of WWA Prime.

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, November 28, 2011 – Vancouver, British Columbia – GM Place
In the opening match, a rematch from NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS, THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY defeated the team of CHRIS CANDIDO & “The American Dragon” BRYAN DANIELSON when “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG pinned CANDIDO following an “Unprettier” to retain the Intercontinental Tag Team Championships…
In another rematch from NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS this time for the Intercontinental Championship, “Ravishing” RICK RUDE defeated BRET “Hitman” HART by disqualification when “Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF attacked RUDE busting up a pinfall and costing RUDE the match. Despite being disqualified BRET “Hitman” HART retains the Intercontinental Championship…
In the next match THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS defeated THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS to become the new #1 Contenders to the WWA Tag Team Championship.
During the match THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, the WWA Tag Team Champions, came down to the ring.
The end came when “Beautiful” BOBBY EATON jumped up on the ring apron and nailed “Road Dogg” JESSE JAMES with JIM CORNETTE’S Tennis Racket enabling AL COSTELLO to roll-up JAMES to get the pinfall victory.
This prompted “Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF to come down to the ring and join in on a three-on-one beatdown on THE OUTLAWS.
Soon, however, “Ravishing” RICK RUDE entered the fray to even the sides.
The sides would not remain even for long because BIG VAN VADER made his WWA Prime debut and joined in with CAMP CORNETTE to fight TRIPLE X. At one point in the beatdown VADER performed a Vader Splash on each member of TRIPLE X. After the RUDE & THE OUTLAWS were demolished JIM CORNETTE took the mic.
CORNETTE: Allow me to introduce the newest member of Camp Cornette. The Man they call…Vader. Big Van Vader! And the World Wrestling Alliance will never, ever, be the same…
The next bout was the 2-out of-3 Falls Match for the Global Honor Crown Championship between VERNE GAGNE and “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE.
VERNE GAGNE won the 1st fall by pinfall with a Victory Roll; GAGNE 1; ROSE 0
“Playboy” BUDDY ROSE won the 2nd fall by pinfall following a Bombs Away Inverted DDT; GAGNE 1; ROSE 1
The third and final fall ended in a double disqualification when both men threw the referee out of the way and continued to fight ignoring the referee’s five count.
That’s it for The WWA Prime Re-Wind for November 28. I’ll be back in a couple days with results from the December 2nd episode of WWA Powerhouse featuring the following matches:
BRUNO SAMMARTINO vs. “Nature Boy” BUDDY ROGERS (Return match for the United States Heavyweight Championship)

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, December 2, 2011 – Vancouver, British Columbia – GM Place
THE BRITISH BULLDOGS defeated the team of EDDIE KINGSTON & BRENT ALBRIGHT in A WWA Challenge Match when DYNAMITE KID pinned KINGSTON following a Flying Headbutt. As a result of their loss EDDIE KINGSTON & BRENT ALBRIGHT must leave the World Wrestling Alliance…
In another WWA Challenge Match ED “Strangler” LEWIS defeated JERRY LYNN by submission with the Strangler Headlock. As a result of his loss JERRY LYNN must leave the World Wrestling Alliance…
The new World Wrestling Alliance Champion LOU THESZ was BILL APTER’S guest in “The Hot Seat.”
APTER: Welcome champ and congratulations on becoming the WWA Champion.
THESZ: Thank you Bill. It was long, hard road but it was definitely worth it.
APTER: Calling it a “road” may be a bit of understatement. It was more like a war; at least in my view. But let’s turn our attention to the future. What are your thoughts on the upcoming consolidation.
THESZ: I think it will be a great thing for fans and competitors alike. Only the best of the best will remain in the WWA and that can only lead to great matches and great rivalries. I’m looking forward to it.
APTER: Champ, tell us your thoughts as it concerns a possible WWA Championship versus World Heavyweight Championship Unification Match. A match tentatively scheduled for BattleBowl coming up in February. In that match, as things are right now in the WWA, you could be facing Hulk Hogan. What are your thoughts about going one-one-one with the Hulkster?
THESZ: Well, I don’t think Hulk Hogan knows the difference between a wristwatch and wrist-lock. But that being said I just hope I’m still the WWA Champion come BattleBowl.
At this time CURT HENNIG’S music played and “the Reflection of Perfection” with some sort of document in his hand made his way to the ring. He took the mic from APTER and made like we was going to backhand the journalist. Who very quickly made his way out of the ring.
HENNIG: If this is not the worse case of putting the cart before the horse; I don’t know what is. You’re already talking about BattleBowl and Hulk Hogan. You’ve forgotten a couple details Mr. Thesz. You’ve forgotten about Holiday Havoc, coming up on Christmas night. And you’ve forgotten about me. I have here a contract signed by me, notarized by the WWA Powerhouse General Manager, Jimmy Hart guaranteeing me a WWA Championship match at Holiday Havoc. And it says here, should you refuse to grant me this match you, Lou Thesz, will be stripped of the World Wrestling Alliance Championship and that the aforementioned title will be rewarded to me. Now as much I would like for you to just hand me the title and humble yourself before Perfection Personified, that’s just not gonna do it for me. You see, Lou Thesz, I want to beat you into submission. I want you to bow down before me, I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me “You’re the better man, Curt Hennig. You’re the better wrestler. I should have known better than to have stepped inside your ring.” Ever since you came to the WWA you’ve been walking around like you own the place. From day one you were tapped for a championship match. Meanwhile, I’ve had to fight for every thing I’ve earned. Nothing’s been handed to me. Nothing. Now, man to man, will you give me my title match?
THESZ: I’ve beaten you before. I don’t see why I can’t do it again. You want a title match at Holiday Havoc? You got it.
That should have been the end of it but it was not. Because at this time the former WWA Champion, the man THESZ beat for the title, HARLEY RACE arrived and he too had a document in his hand.
RACE: Hold it right there. It seems that there is a lot of forgetting going on. Lou Thesz, you still owe me a rematch for that belt. Now, I’ve spoken with Dick Hutton and he has guaranteed me a WWA Championship match at Holiday Havoc. And if you don’t give me that match, Thesz, you’ll be stripped of the title and it will be handed over to me. But you know what, I would like the opportunity to, one more time, wrap my hands around Curt Hennig’s scrawny little neck. So if we wanna make this a Triple Threat Match that’s fine by me.
THESZ looked at HENNIG and then looked at RACE and said:
THESZ: Let’s do it.
So LOU THESZ will defend the WWA Championship in a Triple Threat Match at HOLIDAY HAVOC against HARLEY RACE and CURT HENNIG…
In the next match a rematch from NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS the team of TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON defeated THE SHEEPHERDERS when ATLAS pinned BUTCH MILLER following a Gorilla Press Slam to regain the United States Tag Team Championship.
After the match the Intercontinental Tag Team Champions, Prime’s THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY crashed Powerhouse and attacked the new United States Tag Team Champions. "Pretty Boy" LARRY HENNIG leveled both ATLAS & JOHNSON with “the Unprettier.” THE IMM left ATLAS & JOHNSON lying in the ring with their U.S. Tag belts draped over their prone bodies…
In another NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS rematch BRUNO SAMMARTINO defeated “Nature Boy” BUDDY ROGERS by submission with the Sammartino Backbreaker to retain the United States Heavyweight Championship…
In the main event, the newest member of CAMP CORNETTE, BIG VAN VADER defeated ANDRE THE GIANT in a Steel Cage Match when VADER’S cohorts, the WWA Tag Team Champions, THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS and “Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF held the cage door shut preventing ANDRE from leaving. Meanwhile VADER was able to climb up and over to earn the victory.
That’s it for The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind for December 2nd. I’ll be back in a couple days with results from the December 5th episode of WWA Prime.
Until then…

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, December 5, 2011 – Grand Rapids, MI – Van Andel Arena
WWA Prime kicked off with “Sensational” SHERRI MARTEL, an Associate of TRIPLE X, coming down to the ring to challenge the leader of CAMP CORNETTE, JIM CORNETTE to a match later in the show.
SHERRI: Jim Cornette, you’re a momma’s boy and a coward. You sneak around the World Wrestling Alliance hitting people with your tennis racket. You’ve been doing it for years and I’ve had enough. I want you in this ring right here tonight. What do you say, Jimmy? Come on, Jimmy? Are you scared, Jimmy?
At this time JIM CORNETTE came out, accompanied by the WWA Tag Team Champions, THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, and stood on the entrance ramp.
CORNETTE: First thing’s first; my name is not Jimmy. My name is James E. Cornette, it’s the name my mamma gave me and it’s high-time you learned it. Now you come out here “Scary” Sherri and you call me a coward. Well, I’d rather be a coward than a cow. Now as for you kicking off WWA Prime, who’d you do favors for, honey? You got a problem with me? You want me in that ring? I’m not a wrestler and I don’t beat up women. I’ll leave that to your ex-boyfriends. And If I were you, I’d be damn sure I knew what I was asking for.
SHERRI: Cut the crap! Are you gonna meet me in this ring tonight or not?
“Beautiful” BOBBY EATON leaned over and whispered something in CORNETTE’S ear.
CORNETTE: You want to fight me tonight, you’re gonna have to give me something in return. Now, it’s not what you’re hoping for. You’re not my type. You want me in that ring you’re gonna have to agree to a special stipulation. When I beat you… not if but when… when I beat you you have to agree to be Camp Cornette’s personal secretary for one month. And we’ll make damn sure it’s not as glamorous as it sounds.
SHERRI: That’s not going to matter. Because Jimmy Cornette, I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be. I’ll see you in the ring.
So JAMES CORNETTE and “Sensational” SHERRI MARTEL will go one-on-one later tonight…
In the first match “Dastardly” DANNY DORING upset MAGNUM TA with a Danaconda to win a WWA Challenge Match. As a result of his loss MAGNUM TA is forced to leave the World Wrestling Alliance. After the math DORING announced that he would introduce the world to his new tag team partner at HOLIDAY HAVOC…
It was announced that VERNE GAGNE and “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE would meet in a 2-out of –Falls Match at HOLIDAY HAVOC for the Global Honor Crown Championship. A stipulation added to the match was that a disqualification or countout would count the same as a pinfall or submission. Therefore should GAGNE be counted out or disqualified in a third or decisive fall he would lose the Global Honor Crown Championship and the belt would be rewarded to “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE…
The Intercontinental Tag Team Champions THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY defeated THE SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE in a non-title match when “Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY pinned ALOFA following a “Rocket Launcher.” After the match THE IMM were attacked by the United States Tag Team Champions, WWA Powerhouse’s TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON…
In his WWA debut “Exotic” ADRIAN STREET lost to the WWA Intercontinental Champion, BRET “Hitman” HART in a non-title match by disqualification when “The Icon” FRANK GOTCH came into the ring and slapped HART across the face…
A match between THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS and THE DUDLEY BOYZ ended in a double countout when all four men were battling outside the ring…
“Sensational” SHERRI MARTEL defeated JAMES CORNETTE by pinfall after a roll-up and assistance by “Ravishing” RICK RUDE. After the match THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS came down to the ring and all three men performed their finishing maneuvers on the leader of CAMP CORNETTE.
RUDE: Jimmy Cornette and Camp Cornette, this has gone on long enough, we want your asses in a WarGames Match at HOLIDAY HAVOC.
(It is important to note that while the attack was going on a backstage camera revealed that the doorknob to CAMP CORNETTE’S dressing room had a chair lodged up against it preventing THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS and “Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF from leaving…)
The new World Heavyweight Champion, HULK HOGAN was BILL APTER’S guest in “The Hot Seat.”
APTER: First, Hulkster, I just want to congratulate you on your victory at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS over “The Legendary” Johnny Valentine for the World Heavyweight Championship. What are your thoughts going forward?
HOGAN: My thoughts going forward, brother? My thoughts are getting rid of this monkey on my back Kevin Sullivan and the rest of his errand boys. You see The School of Night are nothing more than a pack of stinky, rabid dogs brother. And my boys Jake “the Snake” and “The Rated-R Superstar” himself have dealt with the likes of Hellbilly Jim and Necro Butcher. They wanted to go after Sullivan. But I begged them, “No, leave Sullivan to me.” You see Kevin Sullivan I’m gonna exorcise you from the World Wrestling Alliance. Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on….
Before HOGAN could finish his catch phrase, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE’S music played and the former World Heavyweight Champion made his way down to the ring.
VALENTINE: I think I speak for everybody here in Grand Rapids and everybody watching at home when I tell you to shut the hell up. You stand up here and you go on and on about Kevin Sullivan. Kevin Sullivan? What’s he every done? You seem to have forgotten something. You seem to have forgotten about “The Legendary” Johnny Valentine. I’ll be the first to admit that you got the better of me at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS. You walked out of Madison Square Garden as the Heavyweight Champion of the World. But as the saying goes, “every dog will have his day,” And you had your day on Thanksgiving and I won’t begrudge you that. But you see I live to be the World Heavyweight Champion.
HOGAN: Let me stop you right there, brother. I am the World Heavyweight Champion and that’s a fact you have to live with, brother. I beat you 1…2…3 and as far as I’m concerned if you want to challenge me for my titles you’re gonna have to get in line. I’ve set my sights on Kevin Sullivan and HOLIDAY HAVOC, brother.
VALENTINE: That’s great because last I checked HOLIDAY HAVOC isn’t for another three weeks. Now, I know you’re new around here so I’ll go slowly; in every contract for a championship match here in the WWA, there’s something called a rematch clause. Not a Santa Claus… a rematch clause; and that rematch clause states that should the champion lose the match and the title he is guaranteed a rematch at a time of his choosing. Now as much as I’d like to go right now, I don’t want there to be any excuses, I want you at your best. So right here, next week on WWA Prime, you and I have a date with destiny. Right here next week you and I are going one-on-one for the World Heavyweight Championship. And I promise you this… it will be your brush with greatness.
The crowd popped at this.
VALENTINE: Oh there is just one more thing.
At this moment “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE dropped the World Heavyweight Champion with an Atomic Skullcrusher and walked out of the ring.
As WWA Prime was going off the air VALENTINE was backtracking up the entrance ramp and trash talking the fallen champion.
That’s it for The WWA Prime Re-Wind for December 5th. I’ll be back in a few days with results from the December 9th episode of WWA Powerhouse.
Until then…
Keep it Rollin’ Promoters, -Tony
