Those dice are busy. Some fun results for sure.

I've played up to about 15 episodes of TV and a few more arena shows. Once I've caught up to that these will probably slow down more to a show or two a week.

Already loving this fed. I love the format and the roster- and that fact that Bullet Bob has already had a run with the belt. Now when will he face a loser leaves town match?!

Midwest Championship Wrestling Episode 8: 2/3/1990

taped from Cleveland, OH

Highlights of Masked Superstar and The Grappler attacking Tony Atlas play.

Bob Caudle is with Tony Atlas. Atlas has had enough of the Masked Superstar. He wants to end this once and for all. That's why he wants a final conflict between them. He wants a Loser Leaves Town Match. Superstar talks about how all he cares about is money so he's going to sweeten the deal for the Superstar. He's got $5,000 that he's willing to put down as a deposit. That money won't be on the line. That money is just for the Superstar to accept and to honor the results of the match if he loses. He'll be waiting for Superstar's answer.

The Patriot d. Mister X w/ the Patriot Missile

Bob Caudle is with JJ Dillon and Midwest Television Champion Mr. Saito. Dillon comments that Saito is now the longest reigning champion in Midwest Championship Wrestling and one of the most active when it comes to defending that belt. The Patriot interrupts and says that he hasn't heard an answer to the challenge he issued last week. Dillon says that he was getting to that. Dillon hands The Patriot a contract and tells him to sign that and the match will be a done deal. Dillon mentions that it will be an honor for his client to defend the belt against an opponent the caliber of the Patriot.

Ivan Koloff and Nikolai Volkoff d. George South and Johnny Rodz w/ the Russian Bearhug

Bob Caudle is with Bob Armstrong. He likes the idea of a 2 out of 3 falls match. There won't be any claims of flukes or someone getting lucky. The man that wins that match will have to pin or submit his opponent twice. Terry Gordy is a real monster but he isn't unbeatable. He reminds Gordy what he tried to do to his son Brad and he isn't going to let him off that easy. This is still personal and he still wants his pound of flesh.

2 Cold Scorpio d. Eddie Gilbert by DQ

Dark Patriot and Brian Christopher ran in to draw the DQ. It's a 3 on 1 beatdown on 2 Cold Scorpio. Eddie Gilbert preps a Fireball but gets stopped by The Patriot. The Patriot unloads on Gilbert with a series of punches. Marcus Alexander Bagwell also runs out and helps to even up the numbers. It's a giant brawl until Gilbert, Dark Patriot and Christopher retreat.

Main Event:
Midwest Tag Team Title Match:
The Heavenly Bodies (c) d. Chaz and Tugboat Taylor by DQ

Jim Cornette managed to draw the DQ in his teams favor. He threw a pair of brass knuckles on the mat and complained that Chaz Taylor had used them on Stan Lane. The referee called for the DQ as a result. Tugboat Taylor is absolutely outraged at this call from the referee and demands to know why he just took Cornette's word for it. Lane and Prichard attack Tugboat while he's arguing. Cornette tosses Prichard the tennis racket and he proceeds to beat Tugboat with it. Chaz tries to make the save but he gets a superkick from Lane. The Heavenly Bodies pose in the ring as the show fades to black.

Next Week:

Chaz and Tugboat Taylor will be in action...

Midwest Championship Wrestling Episode 9: 2/10/1990

taped from Cleveland, OH

Clips of the Heavenly Bodies vs. Chaz and Tugboat Taylor match play. They show the DQ and the beat down on the Taylors afterwards.

Bob Caudle is with Chaz and Tugboat Taylor. Tugboat calls the Heavenly Bodies cowards. They couldn't beat them in the middle of the ring so they had to resort to all of that other stuff. Tugboat challenges the Heavenly Bodies to a rematch at the upcoming show in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Chaz and Tugboat Taylor d. Jake Milliman and Mister X w/ a cross body block

The Heavenly Bodies attack after the match. Both teams brawl but Chaz and Tugboat Taylor manage to clear them out of the ring. The Bodies act like they're going to attack again but security swarms them to try and get the situation under control.

Bob Caudle is with Jim Cornette and Midwest Heavyweight Champion Terry Gordy. Cornette says that the Taylors are beneath the Bodies but they will gladly accept the challenge. It will be a pleasure to put the Taylors in their place. Now on to Bob Armstrong. This match coming up in Cedar Rapids is about proving Gordy's loss to Armstrong back in December was just a fluke. Gordy is the best wrestler in the world today and this match is going to be an absolute bloodbath. Gordy chimes in and promises that Armstrong is going to spend the rest of his life regretting their upcoming match.

Nikolai Volkoff d. Scott Casey w/ the Backbreaker Drop

Bob Caudle is with The Patriot. The Patriot mentions that Mr. Saito has been unbeatable since coming to Midwest Championship Wrestling back in December. He is truly an elite level wrestler and a dangerous foe. But he wants that Television Title belt so he's going to find a way to beat one of the most dangerous men in wrestling today.

Bob Caudle is with The Fantastics. Tommy Rogers says that the Texas Hangmen are out of control and something needs to be done about them. He doesn't want any other teams suffering at their hands like they have. The Fantastics are making it their mission to chase the Texas Hangmen out of Midwest Championship Wrestling. Fulton wants the Heavenly Bodies to know that they haven't forgotten about those title belts. This is a short detour before they come for those. They aren't going to rest until the Texas Hangmen are out of wrestling.

Brad Armstrong d. Brian Christopher by DQ

Eddie Gilbert slipped Christopher a roll of quarters which he used to knock out Armstrong and score the pinfall. 2 Cold Scorpio came down to the ring and exposed the quarters to the referee. With this evidence the referee reversed their decision to being a DQ win for Armstrong. Gilbert and Christopher attack Scorpio but Armstrong helps Scorpio fend them off.

Midwest Championship Wrestling Episode 10: 2/17/1990

taped from Cleveland, OH

Highlights of the Masked Superstar vs. Tony Atlas feud play.

Bob Caudle is with Masked Superstar. Caudle announces that the match has been signed. On next week's show it will be Tony Atlas vs. Masked Superstar in a Loser Leaves Town match. Superstar says this thing with Atlas was never personal to him. It was all about business and money. He made a lot of money keeping Atlas off of Jim Cornette's back. Next week he's going to finish the job and end Atlas' career as far as Midwest Championship Wrestling is concerned.

Sam Houston d. George South w/ a cross body block

Bob Caudle is with Bob Armstrong. Armstrong says that this match in Cedar Rapids will probably be the last one between Terry Gordy and himself. Armstrong says that he thinks he'll have proven his point when he beats Gordy again and regains the belt. He's looking forward to moving on and facing some new opponents in the region.

Bob Armstrong d. The Grappler by DQ

Terry Gordy runs in to draw the DQ. Gordy and the Grappler double team Armstrong until Brad Armstrong and Mike Graham run out to make the save.

Bob Caudle is with Jim Cornette and Midwest Tag Team Champions The Heavenly Bodies. Lane immediately complains about how ugly everyone is in Cedar Rapids, IA. He says it's a scandal that men as pretty as The Heavenly Bodies have to wrestle in front of so many fat pigs on a nightly basis. Prichard says that they should take these belts and relocate to somewhere like New York or Los Angeles where they can be among people as pretty as they are. Cornette tells them to settle down. He wants Chaz and Tugboat Taylor to know that they were let off easy the last time they met in the ring. They aren't going to be as merciful in the rematch.

2 Cold Scorpio and Marcus Alexander Bagwell d. Eddie Gilbert and Dark Patriot w/ The Diss That Don't Miss

Eddie Gilbert tries to throw a Fireball at 2 Cold Scorpio but The Patriot comes out and stops him. The Patriot and Gilbert brawl while Scorpio and Bagwell fight with the Dark Patriot and Brian Christopher.

Bob Caudle is with Tommy Rich. Rich says that he's looking forward to Atlas finally getting his final match with the Masked Superstar. He's going to be pulling for his friend and tag partner to get the win there. He's also glad that he gets a chance to help soften up the Masked Superstar for that match. It's a big match for him and he's hoping to get a win out of it.

taped from Cleveland, OH

Clips of Terry Gordy defeating Bob Armstrong in the 2 out of 3 falls match play.

Bob Caudle is with Jim Cornette and Midwest Heavyweight Champion Terry Gordy. Cornette says that the result of that math shouldn't have surprised anyone. Bob Armstrong was playing out of his league. Now he and Gordy are moving on to bigger and better things. Brad Armstrong comes out and Cornette demands to know what he's doing out there. Armstrong says that he knows this whole feud with his dad started over Gordy attacking him. Well, he's a grown man and he wants to stand up for himself. That's why he's challenging Gordy for the belt. This is a matter of pride for him and he doesn't care what kind of beating he might suffer as a result. Cornette starts to say no but Gordy stops him. Gordy says he likes the guys Armstrong is showing. He can have his title match. Armstrong nods and walks away.

Brad Armstrong and Mike Graham d. Texas Hangmen w/ the Russian Leg Sweep

Bob Caudle is with Tony Atlas. Tonight is the big loser leaves town match. Atlas is excited. Tonight is his chance to finally be rid of the Masked Superstar. Terry Gordy has been walking around with a championship that was stolen from him. Masked Superstar has been an unwelcome distraction from his goal of gaining that belt. He's going to put it all on the line tonight and force the Masked Superstar out of town.

The Grappler d. George South by count out

Bob Caudle is with Masked Superstar. Masked Superstar says this was all about business for him. Keeping Tony Atlas away from Jim Cornette was worth a lot of money to him. But he's done playing. If Tony Atlas wants to put his career in Midwest Championship Wrestling on the line then he won't decline. Tony Atlas was a fool to challenge him to this match and it's going to cost him big.

2 Cold Scorpio d. Dark Patriot w/ a moonsault

Bob Caudle is with JJ Dillon and Midwest Television Champion Mr. Saito. Dillon is pleased that his client's success has drawn out a star the caliber of Tommy Rich for a match. That's going to be some big money and he's going to make sure his client is compensated fairly for it. It's going to be a real feather in the cap of Mr. Saito to beat an international star the level of Tommy Rich. He reminds everyone that Mr. Saito has yet to lose a match in Midwest Championship Wrestling.

Before the main event starts, Tommy Rich, The Patriot, Marcus Alexander Bagwell, 2 Cold Scorpio the Amrstrongs, Mike Graham and Red Bastien all come out and grab seats around ringside.
