Rebel Wrestling Saturday 22--Lake Charles, Louisiana
"Sicilian" Lou Albano pinned Dick Hutton with kneedrops in a $1,000 open challenge. A shocked Hutton shook Albano's hand and gave him the money. Albano said, "I just wrestled better than I did the entire time I was managed by Angelo Poffo. In fact, I think I'd make a better manager than Angelo Poffo! I'll be looking for some wrestlers to manage, and they'll have more success than anyone that Poffo manages!".
Hardcore Champ Jim Duggan and National Tag Team Champs Ted DiBiase & Steve Williams beat Blue World Order w/"Progressive Liberal" Daniel Richards when DiBiase submitted Super Nova with FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. bWo asked for this match with the stipulation that they would get title shots if they won, but they came up short. Suddenly, Rat Pack is attacked from behind by Angelo Poffo, Randy Savage & Abdullah The Butcher! They leave Rat Pack laying in the ring. Poffo says, "I'm a better manager than Albano can ever hope to be! I'll be taking over as my son's manager, and I'll manage him to the World Title! I also arranged for Abdullah to get his long-awaited Hardcore Title rematch with Duggan. It'll be a Falls Count Anywhere Match at Lone Star Showdown! Take that Albano!".
George Tragos submitted Fritz Vin Goering with ARMLOCK & SCISSORS. Tragos had the painful hold locked in tight, and the referee pulled Tragos off of Von Goering who is injured for 2 fight cards!

Midnight Express & Jim Cornette beat Original Midnight Express in a Handicap Match when Cornette pinned Randy Rose with FOREIGN OBJECT. Originals wanted to get their hands on Cornette, but he had a game plan: let Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane do all the work while he gets all the credit! After the match, Dennis Condrey said he wants a manager that knows Cornette better than anyone--his broadcast partner Dr. Mike Lano! Cornette screams at Lano, "Don't do it! Don't you dare do it!". Cornette refuses to rejoin Lano at the announce table so "Progressive Liberal" Daniel Richards took his place. Richards tells Lano, "I want to educate all the red state rednecks watching at home with my blue state blueprint for success. You're welcome!".
#1 CONTENDER 10-MAN BATTLE ROYAL Blackjack Mulligan eliminated Curt Hennig Nick Bockwinkel eliminated Stan Hansen & Big Van Vader Mulligan eliminated Bockwinkel, Johnny Valentine & Bobo Brazil Randy Savage eliminated Mulligan, Harley Race & Bruiser Brody Daniel Richards said on commentary, "Oh yeah!

Hey topdollar! Really enjoying - well everything lol. The three highlights for me are: 1. The Poffo / Albano chess match going on with what's sure to be very interesting chess pieces. 2. Dr. Mike Lano blowing a fuse and taking up Cornette's Midnight Challenge. 3. Abdullah The Butcher defeating The Superfly with tremendous punnishment and style. Ok 4: 4. Really looking forward to Savage vs Rogers! Great stuff!

Glad you're enjoying the action, Bri! 1. This is my way of Albano transitioning from "Sicilian" wrestler to "Captain" manager. 2. Since Lano has a distractor rating, I thought he'd be a good counter-manager to Cornette--especially with a new announcer in the game! 3. Abby's a beast! But can Savage & Poffo control him? can anyone control him? 4. I can't wait to see how the dice play out Savage vs. Rogers. Hopefully it'll be a barn-burner!

topdollar you know I'm a big fan of your fed and it is always cool to see you posting a slew of results. You have a nice mix of segments and matches on your shows and great creativity as well. I'm really enjoying both the hardcore and junior heavyweight tag title tournaments. I'm really hoping for big things from the Northeast-Southwest Connection. Adrian Adonis & Manny Fernandez could make for a dominant tag team.

Adrian Adonis & Manny Fernandez could make for a dominant tag team. Thanks for the kind words, cruefan68 ! It's much appreciated! I wasn't sure who to pair up Adonis with. I thought about Orton or Roop, but as soon as I saw Fernandez, I thought this might make a good combo. Remains to be seen how the dice feel about them!
