I figured someone would have commented at the fact that Barry O vs. Randy Savage and Bob Orton vs. Lanny Poffo is kinda funny. Each set of brothers went 1-1

This is really, really great, Jason Thanks man. I wasn't trying to sound like I was whining about someone not saying something, but you guys tend to notice things like having two sets of bothers battling....Poffo and Barry O will have to have the rubber match to determine the "winner" I just wish I had some more time to post things. School starts in a week and I have to learn Visual Basic 6.0 (having exactly 0 training and just finally getting the copy I was promised in May) well enough to actually teach it! I hate being one step ahead of the kids, but I have to teach the projects and such in the same order that has been done before. Anyway, that is cutting into the whole enjoying the summer and playing LOW....sorry to complain, just frustrated. Rest of week 7 will be up soon and then it's on to MSG for the War To Settle the Score!

Week #7[/u] 2/12/1985
Poughkeepsie, NY - All-American Wrestling & House Show
All-American Wrestling Taping Bout #1: Rusty Brooks vs. The Spoiler The Spoiler dominated the big man Brooks and beat him around the ring. Spoiler used his Double-Underhook Suplex to take the win.
Bout #2: Nikolai Volkoff w/ Freddie Blassie vs. Tony Atlas - Atlas is a huge man, but Volkoff is bigger. Tony over-powered Volkoff early and used his power advantage early. Volkoff fought back and used a distraction by Blassie to nail Atlas with a sucker punch. Volkoff used his Backbreaker Drop to take the win.
Bout #3: Brutus Beefcake w/ Johnny V vs. Terry Funk - Beefcake and The Luscious One knew that Funk is not a happy camper. Funk started to brutalize Beefcake, when Johnny V tried to get involved. Funk smashed his face into the ring post and sent him to the floor. Funk beat on Beefcake and won with his Sleeper. The fans did not know where to boo or cheer Funk, as even though he just beat Beefcake, who they did not support, he is still Terry Funk.
Bout #4: The Moondogs vs. The Young Stallions - Powers & Roma look like a million bucks, where the Moondogs look like an old can of tinned meat. But this was a wrestling contest and the Moondogs showed why they are a great tag team; as they never let up on the Stallions. Spot nailed the Moondog Drop on Roma for the win.
Main Event for All-American Wrestling Bout #5: Bret Hart vs. Dynamite Kid - The first bout last week went to a double COR. This time both men picked up where the last one left off. Another great bout, that had fans cheering for the action, instead of for Bret or Dynamite. Dynamite and Bret were trading blows, when the bell rang. The bout was called a 15-minute draw, as the fans stood and cheered.
-- Intermission --
House Show Bout #1: Missing Link & Masked Superstar vs. The Killer Bees - This rivalry has been growing at house shows and is posed to boil over. Link and Superstar look great as a team, as they took it to the Bees. Fast tags and quick, hard-hitting action gave Link and Superstar the advantage. The Bees formed a late rally, but Link nailed Blair with his Back Flying Headbutt for the win.
Bout #2: King Tonga vs. David Sammartino - David has not lost a bout on TV all year thus far, but he ran into a buzz saw in King Tonga. Domination and then a Thrust Kick spell the end of a quick and brutal bout.
Advertised Main Event Bout #3: WWF World Title Match Iron Sheik vs. Hulk Hogan (c) - The former champion took the early advantage and dominated Hogan from the start. Hogan was held down for a long 2 count, but snuck out the back. The Sheik turned up the heat, but was unable to make Hogan quit from the Camel Clutch. Hogan battled back and Hulked Up, turning the tide in his favor. Hogan nailed the big boot and then the Big Leg Drop for the win. Hogan went into his pose down routine for the crowd after the hard-fought win.

[shadow=black,left,1800]World Wrestling Federation[/shadow] The Cleveland Convention Center on February 15, 1985. Cleveland, Ohio Bout #1: David Sammartino vs. SD Jones - David is coming off his first loss of 1985 on the house show on the 12th and he looked like a man possessed. A huge Powerslam on the bigger Jones was all she wrote tonight. Bout #2: Bret Hart vs. Dynamite Kid - Their first two matches have gone to a double countout and a time limit draw. In their third match up, these two did not disappoint. A great back and forth bout, as each man imposed their will and then had the tide turned. In the end, Dynamite was setting Bret up for a suplex, when Bret rolled him up with a small package for the win. The fans went crazy for this awesome match. Bout #3: George "The Animal" Steele vs. Johnny Rodz - Rodz walked into a confused and angry Steele. Steele decided that he did not want Rodz in the ring and repeatedly tossed Johnny out to the floor. Rodz landed hard and was not able to get back in before the ref counted him out. Bout # 4: Tito Santana vs. Greg Valentine - A great bout between former Intercontinental Champions, as both men tried to dictate the pace. Greg tried to grind things out, while Tito wanted to turn the speed all the way up. Tito went for his Flying Forearm, but missed. Greg used this opportunity to use his Figure Four Leglock to take the win. Bout #5: Davey Boy Smith vs. Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart -The power o their respective teams did not wait long to unload on each other. Each man blistered the other with every piece of high powered offense they have and Davey attempted his Running Powerslam, but Neidhart escaped. Neidhart used a few underhanded moves and scored the win with his Powerslam. Bout #6 : Intercontinental Title Match Don Muraco vs. Ricky Steamboat (c) - Since Steamboat captured the IC title, everyone has been gunning for him. Another former champion calls for him tonight, as Muraco started fast and furious score several close 2 counts. Steamboat was fired over the ropes, but he skinned the cat and used this to his advantage. Steamboat turned the tide and scored the win with his Flying Crossbody to retain the gold. Bout #7: The Masked Superstar vs. Pedro Morales - Pedro has been the biggest disappointment of 1985. The Masked Superstar made quick work of Pedro and won with his Cobra Hold. Main Event:Bout #8: Hulk Hogan & Hillbilly Jim vs. Roddy Piper & Bob Orton, Jr. - These 4 men know each other very well and both sides started blasting before the bell even rang. Hogan pounded on Piper, but Orton made the save. The back and forth continued for a few more minutes, but Hillbilly Jim overpowered Orton and tagged in Hogan for the win with the Big Boot and then the Big Leg Drop. The fans went nuts for Hogan and Jim, as they finally scored a clean win on Orton and Piper. (But Piper has still not been pinned in 1985).
