Major League Wrestling (MLW) RAW Thursday May 24, 2008 Las Vegas, NV First Half of show
In the Ring: Heenan Family (Bobby Heenan, World Champion Nick Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens, Rick Rude, and Ox Baker).
Heenan: "Tonight the Heenan Family is ready to welcome Harley Race (recently drafted back to RAW) back to our organization."
-Suddenly "The Crusher" by the Ramones, the entrance music for The Crusher, is played and The Crusher instead of Race comes out to join the Heenan Family in the ring.
-Heenan: "I didn't call for you. Where's Harley Race?"
- The Crusher: "Heenan, we all know the only reason you want Race back in the Heenan Family is to help protect Nick Bockwinkel's World Championship. Race just told me he's still not sure if he wants to rejoin you guys and I personally hope he doesn't."
- Heenan: "I want to hear that from Harley Race himself and not from some drunken polka dancing loser ham and egger like yourself pal."
-Race's entrance music is then played and he comes out to the ring.
-Race: "Bobby, it's true. I haven't made my mind up yet."
-Heenan (after turning around to speak to his Heenan Family members): "Harley, it sounds like you have a problem in that you can't make up your mind. Well my Heenan Family problem solver Ox Baker is going to solve your problem for you. If you join us now you won't have to wrestle Baker in a match tonight on RAW- so problem solved. But if you leave this ring right now without joining us then Baker is challenging you to a match tonight!"
-Race: "Well I am still going to think about my decision. But since I want a match tonight anyway, I'll agree to wrestle Baker here on RAW."
-Race and The Crusher then leave the ring as the Heenan Family look surprised and upset at Race's decision to keep them uncertain and wrestle Baker tonight.
Match #1: Fabulous Kangaroos (managed by Captain Kangaroo) defeated Magnificent Perfection (Don Muraco and Mr. Perfect, managed by Ladies Champion Sherri Martel).
-In an opening match between two tag teams disappointed for losing in the first round of last week's MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament, it was the Kangaroos who were able to get back on the winning track when Roy Heffernan pinned Mr. Perfect following a BOOMERANG.
Backstage: Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos is walking down a corridor when he is suddenly attacked viciously from behind by Justin Credible who continuously whacks him with his SINGAPORE CANE until Londos is lying on the ground.
-Bobby Heenan and World Champion Nick Bockwinkel (who is defending his title against Londos at Summer Slam on August 17th in a match being billed as Londos-Bockwinkel II) walk up and stand over Londos.
-Heenan informs Londos that tonight Credible is cashing in his automatic title shot that he got by winning the bar room brawl match at the Great American Bash a few weeks ago before getting drafted from Smackdown over to RAW.
-And Heenan also informs Londos that Londos (who Heenan and Bockwinkel hope will get beat up tonight prior to Londos-Bockwinkel II at Summer Slam) will have to defend his Intercontinental Championship tonight against Credible in a match that is Credible's specialty- a Singapore Cane match!
In the Ring: Pepper Gomez and Jimmy Snuka.
-Gomez says that he believes he has the strongest abdominals in all of Major League Wrestling and that he's going to prove it in what he calls his Cast Iron Stomach Challenge
-Gomez lies on the mat and has Snuka fly off the top turnbuckle with a SUPERFLY LEAP onto his stomach. After a few seconds which would still probably have been enough to pin him, Gomez stands up to demonstrate that his stomach is OK.
-Gomez then goes up to the ramp and lies on his back and has Snuka's friend Bruiser Brody drive a BMW over his stomach. Afterward, Gomez again gets up to demonstrate that his stomach is still OK and says that next week on RAW he will continue his Cast Iron Stomach Challenge and the first person on an upcoming episode of RAW who can hit him in the stomach so hard that he can't stand up will receive $20,000!
Match #2: Ed "Strangler" Lewis defeated Gorgeous George
- For this match, Playboy Buddy Rose (who along with Lewis and George is one of the 3 competitors from RAW in the 6 man elimination match at Summer Slam to become Major League Wrestling's first-ever Cruiserweight Champion) provided guest commentary along with the regular television announcers. Rose says that he is supposed to wrestle the winner of this match next week on RAW as all 3 of them (Rose, Lewis, and George) get ready to go to Summer Slam.
- This was a pretty good match but Lewis won by finally wearing down George with his STRANGLER'S HEADLOCK. Lewis then pointed at the announcer's table to Rose- his opponent next week on RAW.
Match #3: New Age Outlaws defeated Ray Stevens and Rick Rude (managed by Bobby Heenan and accompanied by Ox Baker) in a Second Round/Semi-Finals MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament match.
- The New Age Outlaws won this match when B.G. James pinned Rude via PUMP HANDLE SLAM.
- As a result, the New Age Outlaws advance to the tournament's final match at Summer Slam where they will face the winner of tonight's other semi-final match between the Killer Bees and the Vachons for the vacant MLW Tag Team Championship.
End of First Half. Second Half will be posted next and includes the MLW Tag Team Championship Tournament's other Semi-Final match between the Killer Bees and the Vachons, Harley Race vs Ox Baker, and Jim Londos defending the Intercontinental Championship against Justin Credible in a Singapore Cane match!

Match #4: The Vachons (managed by Abdullah Farouk) defeated the Killer Bees
-In an extremely competitive match, the Vachons won when Mad Dog Vachon pinned Jim Brunzell via PILEDRIVER.
- As a result, the Vachons advance to the tournament's final match at Summer Slam where they will face the New Age Outlaws for the vacant MLW Tag Team Championship!
-After this match, some eerie music started playing and The Sheik (also manged by Farouk) came down to the ring and started attacking both Killer Bees with a sharp object before Mil Mascaras (the best friend of Bobo Brazil who is still recovering from a FIREBALL injury caused by The Sheik) arrived to chase him off.
Summer Slam advertisement Summer Slam: Champion vs Champion August 17th, 2008 1. Londos-Bockwinkel II: Intercontinental Champion Jim Londos vs World Champion Nick Bockwinkel for Bockwinkel's World Championship 2. United States Champion Frank Gotch vs MLW Champion Buddy Rogers (Last Man Standing match) for Rogers' MLW Championship 3.

Playboy Buddy Rose vs Ed "Strangler" Lewis vs Gorgeous George vs Tiger Mask vs Jushin Liger, vs Hardcore Hodge (6 man elimination match) for the Cruiserweight Championship. 6. Bobo Brazil vs The Sheik. 7. More TBA
Match #5: Harley Race (accompanied by The Crusher) defeated Ox Baker (managed by Bobby Heenan).
- The Heenan Family's attempt to coerce Race to rejoining them tonight failed as Race dominated most of this match and won via a diving headbutt.
- After the match, Heenan Family members Rick Rude and Ray Stevens came down to the ring and stared across at Race and The Crusher and it looked like the two sides were about to brawl until MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino arrived and announced that next week on RAW there would be a tag team match of Harley Race and The Crusher vs Rick Rude and Ray Stevens!
Match #6, the main event: Jim Londos retained the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Justin Credible (accompanied by Bobby Heenan and World Champion Nick Bockwinkel) in a Singapore Cane match.
- Although this Singapore Cane match was definitely more of an advantage for Credible than Londos, the Golden Greek successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship tonight when he pinned Credible via a crotch lift and slam.
- After the match, both Bockwinkel and Heenan jumped up on the apron and looked like they were about to attack Londos until Londos grabbed a Singapore Cane and swung at them. Bockwinkel dodged the blow by jumping down form the apron but Heenan got hit in the face with the Singapore Cane and got knocked to the floor. Gripping the Singapore cane with two hands, Londos then challenged his Summer Slam opponent Bockwinkel to try and attack him again inside the ring as tonight's edition of RAW came to an end.
-Be sure to check out tomorrow's show presented by MLW's Smackdown brand!

Major League Wrestling (MLW) Smackdown Friday July 25, 2008 Las Vegas, NV Before the Show
Backstage: Major League Wrestling Chairman Bruno Sammartino is in his office with the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase.
DiBiase: "So do we have a deal or not?"
Sammartino: "Yes we do- provided the other party involved agrees to do business with you. If this deal goes through, it's only going to make Major League Wrestling even much bigger and better than it already is. But I have a lot of respect for the person you're trying to do business with and if he says no then at that point you no longer have my support in your efforts."
DiBiase: "Oh, it may take awhile. But rest assured every man has his price." Million Dollar Man does his Million Dollar laugh.
Sammartino: "You know there is a wild card involved with this that could disrupt your plans. I'm talking about Savage-T. You made that stipulation last week on Smackdown that the next time he wins a match by either pinfall or submission then he no longer has to be your servant and that you will then leave Smackdown."
DiBiase: "Savage-T won't be winning any matches anytime soon. Remember I get to pick his opponent each week and I can't wait for him to see who he'll be wrestling tonight." (Another Million Dollar laugh)
DiBiase: "Plus if this deal goes through then I won't be on Smackdown anymore anyway because you promised me that new position."
Sammartino: "That's true. If this deal goes through, in the division you'll be working, you will only have to answer to me. Keep me informed on the status of your negotiations."
The meeting about this mysterious business deal ends as the music for Friday Night Smackdown plays signaling the start of tonight's show.

In the Ring: The Four Horsemen (MLW Champion Buddy Rogers, Johnny Valentine, George Hackenschmidt, and Larry Zbyszko)
-Rogers brags about how his fellow Horsemen Johnny Valentine defeated his (Roger's) upcoming opponent at Summer Slam United States Champion Frank Gotch last week on Smackdown and how he (Rogers) is going to do the same to Gotch in their Last Man Standing match at Summer Slam in 3 weeks!
-Rogers then announces that for tonight on Smackdown he's chosen fellow Horsemen George Hackenschmidt as Gotch's opponent.
-Gotch's entrance music then plays and Gotch comes out to announce that MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino told him that if Rogers is going to pick Gotch's opponent each week on Smackdown like this then Gotch gets to Rogers opponent each week on Smackdown until their match at Summer Slam.
- To the displeasure of Rogers, Gotch then selects Dan Severn as Rogers opponent tonight on Smackdown.
Match #1: The Mountie (accompanied by Mr. Canada) defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan
- In a competitive opening match, The Mountie won via SHORT CHOKE SLAM as Duggan got distracted by his enemy Mr. Canada (Billy "Red" Lyons). After the match, Mr. Canada and The Mountie attempted to hold down Duggan and zap him with The Mountie's shock stick, but Duggan broke free and grabbed his 2X4 which he smashed hard over the heads of both The Mountie and Mr. Canada to keep their feud going strong.
Match #2: Steve "Dr. Death" Williams (accompanied by his manager Killer Kowalski) defeated Larry Hennig.
- In an exciting match that forced both competitors to survive multiple pin/submission attempts (including Dr. Death surviving two THE AXE's from Hennig), Williams manged to get the win via an elbow drop. Since his surprising loss to Buff Bagwell at the Great American Bash, Williams has now won his past 3 matches here on Smackdown.
Backstage: Nikita Breznikov, Ivan Koloff, Nikolai Volkoff, and the Terrible Turk
-Koloff says that since he and Volkoff have another match against US Tag Team Champions Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki tonight on Smackdown, he wants the Terrible Turk to take care of his (Koloff's) enemy Antonino Rocca in a match coming up next.
Match #3: Antonino Rocca defeated The Terrible Turk
- Rocca controlled almost all of the action in this match and won via a deathjump.
Match #4: Armstrongs defeated the Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane, managed by Jim Cornette).
- Although Cornette was at the announcers table bragging about how the Midnight Express were turning things around thanks to the departure of "that no good Dennis Condrey," he soon got embarrassed as the Armstrongs scored the upset when Brad Armstrong pinned Lane via a knee lift. The recent struggles of the Midnight Express continue.
-Frustrated, after the match Cornette and the Midnight Express viciously attacked the Armstrongs and Cornette told them there would be a rematch next week on Smackdown in what looks to be the beginning of a feud between the Armstrongs and the Midnight Express.
In the Ring: The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase with his servant Savage-T and Virgil.
-DiBiase reminds everyone that if Savage-T defeats his unknown opponent chosen by DiBiase by either pinfall or submission then Savage-T will no longer have to be the servant of the Million Dollar Man who as a result would have to leave Smackdown.
-DiBiase then announces who he has chosen as Savage-T's mystery opponent tonight: Don Leo Jonathan of The Vegas Haters!
Match #5: Don Leo Jonathan (accompanied by King Kong Bundy and manager Eddie Fyne) defeated Savage-T (accompanied by The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase and Virgil).
-Determined to earn his freedom from his enemy the Million Dollar Man, Savage-T put up a good fight and several times managed to block or deflect the offensive moves of DLJ. But DLJ was never in any real trouble and won via an atomic drop as the Million Dollar Man laughed hysterically at Savage-T who still has to continue to be DiBiase's servant until he (Savage-T) wins his next match.
End of First Half. Second Half will be posted next and includes Hardcore Hodge vs Jushin Liger, US Tag Team Champions Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki vs Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff, United States Champion Frank Gotch vs George Hackenschmidt, Dan Severn vs MLW Champion Buddy Rogers, and more!

It's now time for this week's Saturday morning editions of Heat and Velocity- the B shows for Major League Wrestling's (MLW's) RAW and Smackdown brands respectively!
(note: The way my B shows work is that they're a way to use the wrestlers who didn't make TV this week on RAW or Smackdown and also a way through the RAW Replay and the Smackdown Slam of the week to review some things that happened that week on RAW and Smackdown. I will also sometimes bring up wrestlers from my developmental brand Minor League Wrestling to work a match on these shows which, although they're not on every week, take place on Saturday mornings 1 hour each over a straight two hour period.)
Heat (RAW's B show) Saturday morning July 26, 2008
Match #1. Iron Mike DiBiase defeated S.D. Jones
-Before this match started, DiBiase once again proclaimed himself "Omaha's Greatest Athlete."
-Jones put up a good competitive fight but DiBiase won via a sleeper.
Match #2: Cowboy Bob Orton Jr defeated Chris Hero
-Hero was brought up from Minor League Wrestling to work this match and then afterward get sent back down to Minor League Wrestling.
-Hero started off this match briefly in control but Orton Jr won via a middle rope splash.
RAW Replay: The footage from this week's edition of RAW shows how Justin Credible used his automatic title shot that he got from winning the Bar Room Brawl match at the Great American Bash to challenge for Jim Londos' Intercontinental Championship in a Singapore Cane match in the main event of this week's edition of RAW (results posted previously in this thread). Londos' Summer Slam opponent World Champion Nick Bockwinkel and his manager Bobby Heenan were in Credible's corner for this match to show their support against Londos.
The footage continues to show how Londos wins this match by pinfall and then grabs a Singapore Cane to swing at Bockwinkel (who dodges out of the way by jumping down from the apron) and Heenan who gets knocked of the apron and to the floor below.
The footage ends with Londos gripping the Singapore Cane with 2 hands and challenging Bockwinkel to come back into the ring as we're now just 3 weeks away from Londos-Bockwinkel II, RAW's portion of Summer Slam's main event, at Summer Slam!
Match #3: Necro Butcher defeated Missing Link
-Necro Butcher was brought up from Minor League Wrestling to work this match and then afterward get sent back down to Minor League Wrestling.
-This was a brutal match that ended somewhat in an upset as Necro Butcher got the victory via his TIGER DRIVER.
Match #4: Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake (managed by Johnny Valiant) defeated Yukon Eric and Cousin Luke
-Before this final match on this week's edition of HEAT, Valentine and beefcake antagonized Yukon Eric by ripping up pictures of Ida Mae Martinez who Yukon Eric once tried to ask out before but failed when he barfed on her because earlier that night he drank too much of Cousin Luke's moonshine.
-This turned out to be a great tag team match that Eric and Luke almost won several times but the end came when Valentine forced Luke to submit to a FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK.
-After the conclusion of that match, Heat comes to an end and Velocity begins.
Velocity (Smackdown's B show) Saturday morning July 26, 2008
Match #1: Fritz Von Goering defeated George South
- Von Goering finally won his first televised match here in Major League Wrestling by making South submit to his finishing BACKBREAKER after only a few moves of offense.
Match #2: Boogie Woogie Man and Trinity Denucci defeated J. D. Michaels and April Hunter
--Michaels and Hunter were brought up from Minor League Wrestling to work this match and then afterward get sent back down to Minor League Wrestling.
-The way this match worked was that only opponents of the same sex could wrestle each other. So when a wrestler tagged in his/her tag team partner of the opposite sex than his/her opponent had to do the same thing.
- In this match, the inter-gender duo from Major League Wrestling defeated the inter-gender duo from Minor League wrestling when Denucci pinned Hunter via a NEW JERSEY SLAM.
-After this match, ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta announced that there would be another edition of Minor League Wrestling this week!
Match #3: Sandman defeated Koko B. Ware
- Ware controlled most of the action in this match but Sandman made a reversal on offense and quickly got away with using his SINGAPORE CANE to pick up the victory.
-Smackdown Slam of the Week: The footage for this week's Slam of the Week is about Summer Slam itself. First, the footage from this week's edition of Smackdown (results posted previously in this thread) shows how United States Champion Frank Gotch defeated George Hackenschmidt and then how Dan Severn defeated MLW Champion Buddy Rogers in a non-title match. Does this indicate Gotch has the momentum going into his Last Man Standing match against Rogers in Smackdown's portion of Summer Slam's main event for Rogers' MLW Championship at Summer Slam in 3 weeks?
Summer Slam advertisement Summer Slam: Champion vs Champion presented by both MLW's RAW and Smackdown brands August 17th, 2008 1.
