Part two of All American Super Clash from the DC baseball stadium:
(part 1 on page 3)
Ladies Champion Trish Stratus def. Shann Ra by DQ. Shann Ra unleashed a vicious assault on the champion and dominated most of the bout. Just as the title was to change hands, the action spilled to the floor. Things got carried away with Shann Ra whipping Stratus with the title belt. Ringside pundits felt that this display cost Shann Ra a sure victory and a great chance to regain her title.

Flying Fred Curry def. Light Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn to win the title! Lynn did not use the same game plan which brought him the title. Curry controlled most of the match and caught Lynn off the ropes with a windup Right Hand Punch. He then used a Missile Dropkick to send Lynn slumping into a corner. Curry capitalized and used MACHINE GUN DROPKICKS to capture the gold in the first title change of the evening.

Steve "Dr. Death" Williams def. Dutch Savage in a no-holds barred grudge match. No-dq meant a "Slobberknocker" in its purest form. Williams power overwhelmed the Dutchman and after a series of forceful football tackles used a Lariat to wrap up the match

LaZer upset 80s Mania Champion Rick Rude (with Bobby Heenan) to win the title! Easy come and easy go for the Heenan Family as LaZer powered his way to the gold. The painted warrior muscled his way to an early advantage and clamped on the LAZERLOCK. Rude lasted two minutes before surrendering his title. LaZer received a standing ovation from the 51,000 fans in the ballpark.

NOTES: It looks like it is a matter of time for Shann Ra to regain the ladies title if a rematch is granted...Fred Curry stymied Jerry Lynn in an exciting Light Heavyweight Match...Dutch Savage claimed that Dr. Death is afraid of facing the Dutchman on his terms and challenged Doctor for one more match at that big show on the West Coast to close the Clash tour...LaZer demonstrated "laser focus" to net his first title. He put on an impressive display of skill and power to unseat Rude. Will post part 3 later this week!

Part three of All American Clash from the DC baseball stadium:

Best-of-Three Fall Tag-Team titles; North American titles on the line in fall 1 only, TWF titles on the line in the match. The Megabucks (TWF Champs) and Team USA (NA Champs) could not control themselves and a wild brawl erupted early. The match settled down with each team gaining near falls. After a series of pin saves, the referee could not keep two men in the ring and called for the Double-DQ. The TWF titles were on the line in the next fall and Andre used a Bearhug to pin the Patriot and retain the titles. The catcalls of the crowd almost rivalled the standing "O" for LaZer earlier.

Best-of-Three Bracket Buster Tournament Final. Mr. Saito won the tournament over Masked Superstar. Even match to begin fall one but the Superstar was DQ'd for choking Saito against the ropes. While Superstar was down a fall, he clearly had the advantage over the weakened Saito for fall two. The Superstar's plan backfired as Saito rallied with with some brutal tactics himself, especially a series of suplexes. Saito used an extended SCORPION to weaken Superstar and at one point refused to release the hold after Superstar grabbed the ropes. Saito used the five-count to the max to soften the legs of the masked man. A Russian Leg Sweep captured fall two and Saito swept his way to victory!

TWF Champion Buddy Rogers defends against the challenge of International Champion Jet Set Strutter. Morgan Dollar ordered Dr. Mike Lano and Big Boss away from ringside to ensure a clean decision. Lano protested due to his role as official title historian. Dollar did point to a special section away from ringside behind a barrier for Lano to conduct business.

The referee's decision did not matter much as Rogers got down to business quickly. He tried pinning Jet Set using the ropes while holding the GRAPEVINE. Strutter was no fool though as he pushed out of the hold and moved away from the ropes before a reversal forced a break. Rogers retaliated with a well placed knee and locked in the GRAPEVINE again for the victory. Rogers is on a roll since winning the TWF title.

DOUBLE CAGE MATCHES:
Macho Man vs. Pampero Firpo. The Macho Man did not wait for introductions and was all over Firpo before the bell using knee drops and a wicked piledriver to stun him early. He busted open the Wildman of The Pampas using a daring double ax from the top of the cage AND from the other rng! A second piledriver allowed Savage to walk triumphantly through the door over a bloodied Firpo.

The second cage was a 4 on 4 ultimate escape with Magnum TA, Road Warriors Hawk/Animal with the Warhawk vs. Russian Hammer Head, Sheepherders Butch & Luke with Ivan Koloff as special guest from the Kremlin (according to Johnny Fairplay). Wild match as Magnum's team was out for blood. Warhawk blitzed Hammer Head early and used a series of FIRST BLOOD's to split the big Russian open. Warhawk was the first to escape. Magnum TA continued the onslaught and used a BELLY TO BELLY through a table (doubles). TA escaped the cage on his own but Hammer Head was stretchered out!

Ivan Koloff raced in to help his fallen comrade with his chain but was met with a rabid double team from Hawk and Animal. The duo used the same chain with the DOOMSDAY DEVICE to knock out the Russian Bear (doubles again!) . Ivan was the second person to leave on a stretcher. Animal walked out and tilted the gurney over in disgust!

Butch and Luke used double-team tactics to scurry from the cage. A groggy Hawk was sweaty and beat but the only one of the three not bleeding. While Butch and Luke double-teamed the Warrior to escape the fans could easily tell who won the war as the two Russians would have remained in the cage without medical assistance.

[Humanoids4eva]

NOTES: Mr. Saito has lined up for a TWF Title Shot due to his impressive tournament win. Saito would love to capture the gold to bring back to Japan. Imagine Saito's SCORPION versus Rogers LEG GRAPEVINE! ...The tag-team title picture is a bit murky as not much was settled here. The Megabucks gained a win but it was by the skin of their teeth.... Savage awed the crowd with his death defying dive from the cage...The Kremlin may rethink their position on sending their "best athletes" into matches like these....Meanwhile, what old scores could get settled in the San Francisco Clash? Stay tuned from ringside!

San Francisco All American Bonus Clash Card
1. Barbed Wire Cage Elimination - Randy Savage and The Road Warriors versus Pampero Firpo with the Sheepherders. All six men have a score to settle from the DC cage matches and all six men are not the most even tempered individuals. Adding fuel to the fire, is the fact that the Road Warriors say the Sheepherders ran away scared in DC. Savage will agree to any kind of match to get his hands on Firpo!
2. 80s Mania Grudge Match - Mighty Leo and Ace Arcadium vs. Skullgore and Cobalt Commander
3. Interpromotional Light Heavyweight Match - Johnny Kobra challenges Fred Curry for his newly won title.
4. Unification Match: 80s Mania Title vs. International Title...LaZer vs. Jet Set Strutter as 80s Mania officials ordered a Unification of sorts as the International Title was barely defended since entering 80s Mania Wrestling.
5. Unified Champion Buddy Rogers vs. Bracket Buster winner Mr. Saito. Which crippling leg hold is superior? Is it Rogers FIGURE FOUR GRAPEVINE or Saito's SCORPION, this match could decide that matter and the TWF Championship! Saito will have a nice plane trip across the Pacific with the TWF title in tow.
6. Missing IN Action (M.I.A) Match (Falls Anywhere) - Warhawk vs. Hammer Head
7. Six Man Tag-Team Match: Magnum TA and Team USA versus TWF Champions Andre and Dibiase and Virgil. Hacksaw Duggan named as special guest referee!
8. Coal-Miners Glove Match: Dutch Savage vs. Dr. Death. Dutch Savage claimed that Dr. Death has yet to prove anything and the only way that the Doctor can shut him up is through his specialty match. Doc readily accepted the challenge as he has dominated Dutch so far in this feud.
9. Battle of the Blockbusters: Star Boy vs. Dark Invader
10. Special Opener: Tennis Pro vs. Bug Buster

[Humanoids4eva]

Timeline: Bonus Clash from San Francisco California. The final event of the All American Clash tour wraps up one of the biggest months in TWF history. Three title matches are on tap along with a few high-stakes grudge matches. Now onto the show.

Special Opener: Tennis Pro def. Bug Buster, the pro used a backhander to stun the bug man after getting slammed. A catapult splash won the match for the Tennis Pro.

Battle of the Blockbusters: Star Boy def. Dark Invader. The Invader used his size to gain the quick advantage on Star Boy, but a suplex followed by a double knee drop countered the dark attack to get the pin.

Six Man Tag-Team Match: Magnum TA and Team USA def. TWF Champions Andre The Giant, Ted Dibiase and Virgil. Hacksaw Duggan was named as special guest referee! Team USA displayed explosive teamwork and had the Megabucks on the run. The Patriot used an UNCLE SLAM to pin Andre which was helped by a fast-count with Duggan!!! All this match served was to add fuel to the rivalry fire as The Megabucks were livid on the outcome.

Coal-Miners Glove Match: Dutch Savage def. Steve Williams. Dr. Death dominated the early part of the match, bloodying Dutch heavily. Doc was also busted open as well as Dutch dished out the punishment. Both wrestlers tried climbing the pole but it was flung into the crowd during the struggle. The fans threw it back to Dr. Death but Dutch avoided the glove and used a RUNNING PILEDRIVER to win this bloodbath.

=Intermission=
Interpromotional Light Heavyweight Match - Johnny Kobra (with Valley Girl) def. champion Fred Curry for his newly won title. Kobra's unorthodox style confused Curry from the onset. Valley Girl did distract the ref when Kobra landed into trouble with a Curry Jumping Rollup but regained the advantage when the match spilled onto the floor. Kobra used the second LEG SWEEP of the match to ground Curry and win the belt. Kobra and Valley were going to party back to SoCal in style!

80s Mania Grudge Match - Mighty Leo and Ace Arcadium def. Skullgore and Cobalt Commander, DQ. Short match which got out of hand quickly as Skullgore shoved the referee after getting reprimanded for choking Leo.

Unified Champion Buddy Rogers (with Dr. Mike Lano) vs. Bracket Buster winner Mr. Saito. The fans wanted to know which crippling leg hold is superior? The verdict: Mr. Saito's SCORPION LEGLOCK!
Referee Morgan Dollar wanted all managers, valets and seconds away from ringside for the second straight Rogers title defense! Rogers was livid, as this decision rattled the Nature Boy. Saito turned the screws and was in control from the opening bell using a tackle, sleeper and three SCORPIONS to keep Rogers at bay. Rogers rallied when the match spilled outside but Saito countered with another sleeper and SCORPION to wrap up the title! Mr. Saito is the new TWF Unified Champion in an upset!!

Missing In Action Match (Falls Count Anywhere) - Warhawk def. Hammerhead. The big Russian was still injured from the DC cage match and it showed. He was bloodied early and seemed like a step behind all night. Warhawk whipped him into the wall for a pin, and a barely conscious Hammerhead was carried from ringside but with the help from Warhawk!!! Hammerhead displayed tremendous courage in the last two matches and TWF officials announced he cannot return to the ring until he recieves 100% medical clearance.

80s Mania Title Vs. Title: Mania Champion LaZer vs. International Champion Jet Set Strutter. Skeptics still doubt the validity of Strutter's title claim and LaZer removed all doubt launching an impressive offensive assault from the bell. A LAZERLOCK ended the match and eliminated the title confusion.

==Cage set-up/intermission=
Ultimate Escape Cage - Randy Savage and The Road Warriors versus Pampero Firpo with the Sheepherders. The New Zealanders asked for Barbed Wire on the cage and TWF officials reluctantly agreed.
A wild bloodbath ensued with flesh getting torn to shreds and every move had a brutal impact. Firpo escaped first using EL GARFIO on a blindsided Savage. Savage recovered quickly and used a Neckbreaker Clothesline on Butch to even the sides at 2-2. Animal used a DOOMSDAY DEVICE to clobber Butch some more and leave Hawk with the two Kiwis. Luke scurried away after a DOUBLE GUTBUSTER but Butch was bleeding buckets. Hawk continued the punishment and used a FLYING CLOTHESLINE to put Butch out of his misery. Savage, Hawk and the two Sheepherders suffered injuries during this match with Butch apparently the most damaged of the four. TWF officials are reluctant to hold another match like this in the foreseeable future after seeing all the carnage.

NOTES: Southern California has two champions to celebrate: Light Heavyweight Champion Johnny Kobra and Mania Champion LaZer. Congratulations to both! ... Mr. Saito capped off an excellent Bracket Buster tournament win and captured the TWF title from Buddy Rogers. Bill Apter interviewed Saito on his win and he will defend against anyone, anywhere including his native Japan. Buddy Rogers interrupted and asked him to back that statement up and put the belt on the line in a lumberjack match before he hides away in the Orient. Saito agreed but not after a shoving match with the former champion...Will Team USA get a tag-title rematch against the Megabucks? Stay tuned for a special announcement coming up on Pro Wrestling America TV....Warhawk helped his enemy Hammerhead to the locker room after their M.I.A. Match, could fans have witnessed a new alliance for 80s Mania Wrestling? Stay tuned from ringside!

P.W.A. TV @ Providence RI
Episode 1.11

Episode 1.12

A video package displayed the highlights of the rivalry between World Tag-Team Champions The Megabucks (Andre and Dibiase) and the North American Tag-Team Champions, Team USA (Atlas and Patriot). The video included how each team won their titles along with footage from their most recent matches. This preview was to setup the kickoff of the Best-of-Seven Title-vs-Title series between the two teams as match one during this episode.

Best-of-Seven, Title-vs.Title Series: The Megabucks (Andre and Dibiase with Virgil) def. Team USA (Atlas and Patriot). Team USA looked sharp and kept both Dibiase and the Giant off-balance. The key sequence was Patriot getting Andre up for the UNCLE SLAM along with hitting the PATRIOT MISSILE on both Megabucks. Virgil was stunned by the display but the Megabucks recovered and used their experience (and size) to gain the advantage. Andre hit the BIG SPLASH on Patriot which left the masked man open for the MILLION DOLLAR SLEEPER by Dibiase. Patriot did not submit but fought off the effects valiantly until he dropped and Dibiase smartly kept the Patriot on the mat for a pinfall.

Megabucks lead series 1-0.

Excellent match and the episode closed with clips of the rivalry between Randy Savage and Pampero Firpo along with their upcoming Lumberjack match. One particular piece showed Savage dominating one of the lumberjack Mr. Saito in a Kendo Stick match when Savage was working his way through the Heenan Family


Episode 1.13
Dr. Death Steve Williams def. Larry Sharpe. Sharpe started the match with a slap to Doc's face but Williams used a set of dropkicks to setup the OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE for the win.

Magnum TA drew with Dutch Savage. Great match that went the time limit as both men worked the other over but each could not get in good position for a win.

A replay of the Randy Savage video from last week but this time TWF Champion Mr. Saito and Mr. Fuji were watching in the backstage interview area. Fuji stated that Saito is new and improved and with him as Saito's combat advisor expect a long reign for the TWF Champion. They will do their talking in the ring as the champion teams with Fuji to demonstrate the meaning of pain and torture.

TWF Champion Mr. Saito and Mr. Fuji def. Rhode Island Red (Mr. X) and Rock Riddle. Fuji never tagged in as Saito attacked the traps of the masked man. Used a SAITO SUPLEX but Riddle broke up the pin. Slightly annoyed, Saito tossed him aside and used a SCORPION LEGLOCK to gain the win. Impressive win for the champ as Fuji did nothing the entire match.

Mighty Leo def. Skullgore to close the episode. A Giant Paw followed by a THUNDERSTRIKE put away the masked menace.



Dark Match: Pampero Firpo def. Randy Savage in a Lumberjack Match. Savage started off red-hot against Firpo but the the Lumberjacks influenced the outcome. Mr. Saito and Mr. Fuji worked over the Macho Man a couple of times after Firpo tossed him out. Saito suplexed Savage onto the floor which left him vulnerable to a Firpo pin attempt.

NOTES: The fall is near and looks like the the Firpo-Savage feud has another dimension with the addition of TWF Champion Mr. Saito, but Firpo and Savage have signed for a Taped Fist match in Rochester NY next...The Best-of-Seven started off with a bang as matches are signed for Rochester (NY), Seattle, Charlotte and Portland (OR) next...Dutch Savage and Magnum TA had a great TV bout which is a preview of a special six-man match signed for Rochester: Dutch teams with the Tolos Brothers to battle Dr. Death, Magnum TA and local favorite The Destroyer!!....Besides the six man special and the taped fist match, Mr. Saito defends the TWF Title in a rematch against former champion Buddy Rogers. Dan Spivey faces Bruiser Brody and Jerry Lynn faces Fred Curry with the winner getting the next crack at the Light Heavyweight title. See you at ringside as the TWF Road Show hits Rochester!!

== Intermission ==

Light Heavyweight Title Shot on the line: Jerry Lynn def. Fred Curry.
Curry missed a MISSILE DROPKICK and Lynn hit a sunset flip on Curry to the floor. Flying Fred tried to recover but was met with a CRADLE PILEDRIVER for the win.

TWF Champion Mr. Saito (with Mr. Fuji) def. DQ, Buddy Rogers (with Dr. Mike Lano).
Short match as Morgan Dollar ejected Mike Lano from ringside, camera and all! Rogers roughed up the champion early and kept Saito's power at bay. Rogers got too rough and was DQ'd for slamming Saito into the ring post then using the FIGURE-4 LEGVINE until Fuji broke it up. Saito limped out of the ring but walked back to the dressing room in full stride. The champion is made of iron.


Best-of-Seven, Title-vs-Title Series: The Megabucks (Andre and Dibiase with Virgil) def. Team USA (Atlas and Patriot).
Andre stuck with the Bear Hug to weaken both members of Team USA. Atlas was the last victim and slumped to the mat after one particularly long sequence. Andre pounced on him for the win!

Megabucks lead series 2-0.

Taped Fist Match: Randy Savage def. Pampero Firpo.
The Macho Man closed out the evening in style as he took the match to Firpo early and often. The taped fist ax handle was his primary weapon as this match was up Savage's alley. The Rochester crowd cheered his every move as he dominated Firpo.

NOTES:
Team USA needs to rally or else the Best-of-Seven will finish quickly in the Megabucks favor. A 3-0 deficit is close to impossible to rebound from....Jerry Lynn worked his way back into the Light Heavyweight Title Picture with a crisp win over Fred Curry, will Lynn regain the title? ....Dutch Savage looked great in the elimination match and TWF officials have offered him a crack at Saito's title, signed for the next road show in Seattle!! Mr. Saito is on a roll as former champion Buddy Rogers looked desperate in this Rochester rematch.

TWF Road Show at Seattle, WA
Jim Powers def. Ricky Landell with a death jump crossbody.

Bug Buster def. Tennis Pro following a gut buster and EXTERMINATION.

Jerry Lynn def. Light Heavyweight Champion Johnny Kobra with Valley Girl to win the TITLE!!
Johnny Kobra and Valley Girl were interviewed by Rex Spectrum before the bout and announced that the title match was best-of-three falls rules to eliminate any "flukes", like Lynn's title tournament victory. Lynn took control at the bell and wrapped up fall one with a sunset flip off the ropes. Valley Girl was irate and argued with referee and fans alike which continued into fall two. The Valley Girl was too busy yelling at ringsiders to see Lynn nail Kobra with a CRADLE PILEDRIVER sweeping the falls and winning the title! Kobra and Valley Girl were stunned and upset.

LaZer and Star Boy DDQ Dark Invader and Piranha. Wild tag-team match but Dark Invader was announced as LaZer's next challenger for the 80s Mania Title!

== Intermission ==

Jet Set Strutter (with Boss Jr.) def. Rock Riddle. Boss Junior could have taken the night off as Jet Set dominated and used a SIX FIGURE LEGLOCK to gain an easy win.

Cobalt Commander and Skullgore (with Gargoyle) def. Arizona Chance and Warhawk, DQ. Arizona Chance was DQ'd for slamming Skullgore on the concrete. Warhawk was on the losing side for the first time since before the Clash Tour but it was a DQ decision.

TWF Champion Mr. Saito (with Mr. Fuji) def. Dutch Savage by DQ.
Another DQ this time Dutch grabbed one of the Japanese Warriors Kendo stick and used it on both Fuji and Saito! Bill Apter interviewed an angry Dutch afterwards but was jumped by the Japanese Duo. Savage incurred a minor injury in the attack but was bloody but not broke.

Best-of-Seven, Title-vs-Title Series: The Megabucks (Andre and Dibiase with Virgil) def. Team USA (Atlas and Patriot).
Team USA pulled out all the stops to prevent themselves from dropping into a 3-0 hole but it was not happening. Ted Dibiase and Patriot collided in the ring but Dibiase was the first one to his feet. Dibiase held Patriot in a full nelson while Andre rained head butts onto him. Dibiase rolled up Patriot for the win.

Megabucks lead series 3-0.

NOTES:
Charlotte is the next stop for the TWF Road Show and Megabucks could clinch the series in the Queen City. Team USA has struggled in the series...A chain match tops the card in Charlotte as Randy Savage faces Pampero Firpo....There are three tag-team matches on hand for Charlotte including the best-of-seven. Tag match #2 features Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito in an interpromotional match against 80s Mania Champion LaZer and Starboy...The third tag bout signed has as Dr. Death and Magnum TA facing National Champion Bob Roop and Dutch Savage but due to Dutch's injury Roop will select a suitable replacement....Jerry Lynn is now a two-time light heavyweight champion, congratulations to the Minnesota native on his big win....See you at ringside in Charlotte!

[Humanoids4eva]

TWF Road Show at Charlotte, NC
Scott Casey def. Bill White. Casey made short work of White, using a backbreaker and BULLDOG for the 3-count.

Ricky Landell def. Jim Powers. Landell kept the match pace very slow and used a hip toss neckbreaker followed by a Missile Dropkick to daze Powers. A TOP ROPE FIST DROP won the match.

A battle of the big men as Masked Superstar #2 def. One Man Gang, DQ.
Masked Superstar was in the corner for his masked partner while Oliver Humperdink managed the Gang. A hard-hitting contest which saw both men see-saw on the advantage. The Gang lined up Superstar for a 747 SPLASH but missed. A frustrated Gang used his chains forcing a DQ.

Bob Roop announced his substitute partner for the injured Dutch Savage: Magnum TA rival Claudio Castignoli! Roop and Castignoli (with Eddie Fyne) def. Steve Williams and Magnum TA. Roop used a reverse stepover toehold on Magnum to keep him grounded with Claudio constantly reaching in for leverage. Dr. Death kept pointing out the tactic but the referee ushered him away. The referee counted Magnum's shoulders to the mat while Claudio held on to Roop once more. Claudio returns in his usual controversial way.


Interpromotional Tag-Team Clash of Champions: TWF Champion Mr. Saito and Mr. Fuji (with Lou Albano) vs. 80s Mania Champion LaZer and Starboy
A true classic before intermission as both teams escaped and produced near-falls: Fuji almost won the match with a Salt Throw to the eyes of Starboy and Lazer rocked Saito hard with a sonic Superplex for a 2 1/2 count. With the time limit waning, Lazer started gaining the advantage on Fuji but the Asian duo prevented any victory with another salt toss, forcing a DQ.

== Intermission ==

Masked Superstar def. Ron Hutchinson. Superstar was in control all the way hitting a flying body press with a thud. This led to a sequence with the COBRA HOLD where Superstar hit several headbutts when Hutchinson attempted an escape. The COBRA HOLD finally wore down the rugged Canadian.

Best-of-Seven, Title-vs-Title Series: The Megabucks (Andre and Dibiase with Virgil) def. Team USA (Atlas and Patriot). Megabucks lead 3-0.
Team USA had their backs to the wall and Patriot made his presence felt: dominating Dibiase and even slamming the Giant outside on the floor!!
Atlas though was the weak link in this match as Andre dominated Mr. USA using a Sitdown Splash on Tony. The giant would hold onto the ropes past the referee's four count for added punishment. The pressure was too much to sustain for Atlas and Dibiase used a MILLION DOLLAR SLEEPER to capture the match and the sweep 4-0!

Dibiase and Andre celebrated with Dibiase mocking Team USA. While Andre and Virgil laughed at the theatrics, Team USA pummeled Dibiase and saw Atlas hold the Million Dollar Man open for the UNCLE SLAM! Dibiase looked hurt and left ringside holding his neck. Megabucks won the series and Unified Titles but seems like Team USA did not go away empty.

Chain Match: Randy Savage def. Pampero Firpo
Savage is gaining an edge in this feud and this Chain Match was a big step to settling the score! Savage used the chain very early busting Firpo into a red mess. Firpo eyes and hair were covered in plasma and Savage unloaded his arsenal: Double Ax Handles, Knee Drops and Clotheslines. Firpo did use the chain to slow Randy down but it was Savage's night. Macho Man used a Piledriver and FLYING ELBOW to put away Mr. Firpo. The crowd gave Macho Man a standing ovation to close the card!

NOTES: What is next for the Megabucks? Who are their first challengers? How serious was Dibiase's injury? Early reports that he waswearing a neck brace from the arena and while that is a standard precaution sure we will receive the answer to these questions soon....The feud between Magnum TA and Claudio Castignoli has returned now that Claudio is 100%. This rivarly was exciting until Magnum hurt Claudio during the Summer's Clash card in Chicago....The Interpromotional match was very exciting as the 80s Mania Champion and Starboy were gelling nicely and almost took the more experienced team of TWF Champion Mr. Saito and Mr. Fuji to the time limit.....The fans have the matchmakers to thank for scheduling such a creative match-up.....The next road show is Portland, OR but a Pro Wrestling America TV taping in Richmond, VA is next on the schedule. Expect a few updates on the recent happenings with bulletins on the tag-team titles, feuds and interpromotional battles. See you at ringside!

[Humanoids4eva]

PWA TV at Richmond, VA
Episode 1.14

Ricky Landell over Savage T.
T missed a charge into a corner and Landell used a Missile Dropkick for the win.

Tag-Team Title Co-Holder Andre The Giant (with other co-holder Ted Dibiase and Virgil) def. Ron Hutchinson and George South in a handicap match.
Dibiase was still injured from the attack from the Patriot so he opted out of this non-title affair. Andre was more than happy to take on these two in a handicap match. South was manhandled and took a hike to force a count-out. Ron Hutchinson fought Andre valiantly but was body-slammed for his trouble. Andre landed the BIG SPLASH for th win. Andre wins the handicap match!

The broadcast returned from the commercial with Bill Apter who had the Megabucks in the ring with Virgil proudly displaying their title belts.
Dibiase took the microphone and stated that “while he does not have medical clearance to wrestle he has offered to defend the titles from coast-to-coast. The Megabucks are looking for new challengers and the winners of a tag-team tournament in Buffalo will get a title match that same evening. The winners of the tournament will get the belts and a briefcase full of cash if they beat the Megabucks for the title.” Dibiase ended the interview stating “that everyone has a price, even Bill Apter , hahahaha.”

Feature bout: Magnum TA defeated old rival Claudio Castignoli (with Eddie Fyne).
Claudio grabbed the microphone from the ring announcer to berate him but Magnum stormed the ring and kicked him in the gut. A series of right jabs and a BELLY TO BELLY shut up Claudio. Eddie Fyne and Claudion were irate and motioned that the bell did not ring but the referee shook his head indicating otherwise.

Dutch Savage and Randy Savage over the Night Spider (Mr.X) and Bill White.
A televised warm-up match as Dutch announced his mystery partner to take on Fuji and Saito. The Spider and White were no match for the “savagery” and Spider took the FLYING ELBOW along with the loss.

The Destroyer def. Johnny Rodz to close the broadcast.
Rodz slung the masked man outside the ring, but Destroyer bounced back quick to toss Rodz out. A FIGURE FOUR wound up Rodz night.

== Intermission followed by dark matches==

Steve Williams over Pampero Firpo (with Eddie Fyne).
The first TWF meeting between these two was a rock-em, sock-em match. Doc bled from a vicious assault outside the ring and survived several backbreakers. Firpo turned the screws with a running body slam and EL GARFIO but a mistake by Firpo sent Doc to the ringside floor. Williams recovered and grabbed Firpo's leg and slammed his head into the post! A bloody OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE notched the win for Doc.


Sam Houston beat National Champion Bob Roop, DQ.
Roop controlled the match but when Houston got back into the match, Roop sent the match to the floor and slammed Houston in the shoulder with the title belt. The referee stopped the match immediately and the crowd cheered on Houston as he struggled to his feet.

Main Event: Macho Man and Dutch Savage def. TWF Champion Mr. Saito and Mr. Fuji (with Lou Albano).
Wild main event as Saito only entered the ring when Macho Man was in trouble. Dutch and Saito were never in the ring at the same time as Saito avoided the #1 contender more for psyche reasons than any cowardice. Anyhow, Fuji and Randy did much of the work for their teams. The Macho Man got Fuji in trouble and Dutch laid it on heavy including A RUNNING PILEDRIVER and Thumb To Throat for 2 ½ counts, which were broken up by Saito. Finally, Macho Man hit the FLYING ELBOW on Fuji but both Saito and Albano prevented the pinfall. The ref called for the bell and both teams kept slugging it out back to the locker room.

NOTES: Saito did a great psyche job on his number one contender Dutch Savage. Almost making the statement that he is not worthy of a title shot. ... Ted Dibiase always finds an angle, even when he provides an opportunity it comes with a price!. … Magnum TA looked sharp in his win over Claudio, wonder if the layoff has hurt Castignoli? ...
