Rebel Wrestling Sunday 49-Roanoke, Virginia
Ida Mae Martinez pinned Beverly Shade w/Toni Rose with DROPKICK. This was a quick & easy win for the "Yodeling Lady" who challenged Rose to a match next week!
Six-Man Tag Team Champions Bob Backlund, Dan Severn & Don Curtis w/Gorilla Monsoon beat Bob Roop & Northeast-Southwest Connection(Adrian Adonis & Manny Fernandez)w/Jimmy Hart when Backlund pinned Roop with ATOMIC DROP. Monsoon's Hall Of Fame team cut the ring in half to keep Roop from tagging his Hart Foundation teammates. HOF made quick tags to have their way with Roop and win in dominating fashion!
Gorila Monsoon joins Bobby Heenan at their backstage Gorilla Position after guiding his Hall Of Fame team to victory. Heenan says referee James Beard will have his hands full with the next match because Sandman wants revenge on Killer Kowalski for injuring Sandman's Smokes & Beer partner Crusher in a Stretcher Match last week!
Killer Kowalski w/Ox Baker & Paul Ellering submitted Sandman with KOWALSKI CLAW. This was a one-sided win as Kowalski hit Bombs Away before applying a stomach claw that had Sandman screaming in pain and tapping out as referee James Beard called for the bell. It doesn't matter if it's tag team matches or singles matches--the Hardcore Tag Team Champions Executioners look unstoppable & unbeatable!
Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Brisco Brothers(Jack & Jerry Brisco) beat Fabulous Ones(Steve Keirn & Stan Lane)w/Jackie Fargo when Jerry Brisco submitted a bloody Lane with FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. Fabs gave Briscos all they could handle, but Briscos pull out a hard-fought win!
3-Way Elimination Match: Television Champion Jimmy Snuka w/Lou Albano pinned Don Muraco w/Mr. Fuji with SUPERFLY LEAP. Television Champion Jimmy Snuka w/Lou Albano pinned Roddy Piper w/Jimmy Hart with SUPERFLY LEAP. Piper kicked out of 2 previous SUPERFLY LEAPS before hitting Snuka twice with FOREIGN OBJECT for near-falls. Snuka hit a third SUPERFLY LEAP to finally put Piper down for the 3-count. Snuka retains the TV Title for all of his fans in TV Wonderland!
Next Week: Hardcore Tag Team Champions Executioners(Ox Baker & Killer Kowalski)w/Paul Ellering vs. Moondogs(Rex & Spot) w/Jimmy Hart in the Main Event!

Thanks for reading & commenting, gnw2022! I used Baker & Kowalski as a team way back when the first black & white set came out. They were more of a rival to Road Warriors than Valiant Brothers. They've dominated the Hardcore Tag Team division, and I'm curious to see how the Moondogs match up against the team I call Executioners. I originally called them that because of Kowalski's masked team with Big John Studd, but it fits because they execute their opponents. As Ox likes to say, "I like to hurt people!"(Just ask Kurt Russell!)

I have a picture of my daughter sitting on his arm back in the Late 80's....he was such a nice man, and always helping us new to the business with his wisdom.Getting to work with old school guys like him, Dick the Bruiser (my first boss), Bobo Brazil, Moose Cholak and my first ever TV match against then WWA CHAMPION The Great Wojo....was the best time of my life.

You've had an amazing career, gnw2022 ! I remember watching Ox Baker, Dick The Bruiser & Moose Cholak on Wrestling At The Chase from St. Louis. I can only imagine what it was like sharing a dressing room with them and other legends like Bobo Brazil & Great Wojo. It's always good to hear about legends sharing their knowledge with the next generation. I'm sure you have lots of great stories that you could tell from your time in the business!

Rebel Wrestling Saturday 50--Ashevile, North Carolina
Masked Assassins(Destroyer, Grappler & Spoiler)w/Rock Riddle beat George South, Jake Milliman & Kenny Jay when Grappler pinned a bloody Milliman with LOADED BOOT. The trio of South, Milliman & Jay put up a good fight, but Masked Assassins had their way with the "Milkman" before Grappler finally put him away!
Pretty Playboys(Buddy Rose & Doug Somers)w/Sherri Martel beat Tiger Conway Sr. & Tiger Conway Jr. when Rose pinned Conway Jr. after 3 consecutive INSIDE BACKBREAKERS. After the match, Martel says, "Pretty Playboys aren't just hardbodies...they're hardcore! They should be competing in Hardcore Matches!". At that point, Brickhouse Brown & Thunderbolt Patterson come out. Brown says, "You're not hardbodies...you're lardbodies! But if you lardbodies want a Hardcore Match, we'll see you next week. Until then, watch what my main man T-Bolt does to that fat hairy ape Gorilla Monsoon!". Pretty Playboys leave the ring as fans chant "lardbodies" at them, and they cover their ears all the way to the back!
Thunderbolt Patterson pinned Gorilla Monsoon with a top rope crossbody block. This was a quick & easy win for Patterson over his former Hall Of Fame teammate Monsoon!
A video airs to promote 2 Special Attraction Matches next week: Yukon Eric vs. Don Leo Jonathan in a "Battle Of The Giants", and Billy Wicks vs. Sputnik Monroe.

Bill Apter's Press Conference: Sheepherders w/Eddie Gilbert point to Apter's rankings and feel that they're owed a National Tag Team Title shot vs. Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens. Teddy Long comes out and tells Sheepherders that they have to beat former National Tag Team Champions--and the only 3-time Rebel Wrestling World Tag Team Champions--Original Midnight Express next week. That winner will challenge Bockwinkel & Stevens for the National Tag Team Titles on pay-per-view at Carolina Combat!
Johnny Valentine is in the ring bragging about how his ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHER is the most dangerous elbow smash in wrestling when "Jim Dandy To The Rescue" by Black Oak Arkansas plays. Fans cheer the arrival of Jimmy Valiant--once again the "Boogie Woogie Man"! Valiant says, "I was still in the Million Dollar Corporation when I was one of the final 3 men in that Battle Royal 2 weeks ago, but I heard the fans cheering me on by chanting 'Jim Dandy'! Now that the Corporation is no more, and my brother's become a full-time manager, I'm here to Boogie Woogie all over my former teammate, Johnny Valentine, with my BOOGIE WOOGIE ELBOW in a Finisher Match, daddy. Have mercy!".

Miracle Power Combination(Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen) beat World Tag Team Champions Miracle Violence Combination(Terry Gordy & Steve Williams) for the titles when a bloody Brody pinned a bloody Gordy with piledriver. The Four Pillars Of Strong Style teammates shook hands after the match, but Teddy Long came out to announce that Brody & Hansen will defend the belts against former World Tag Team Champions Road Warriors in a dream match at Carolina Combat on pay-per-view!

Rebel Wrestling Sunday 50--Asheville, North Carolina
Dream Team(Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine)w/Johnny Valiant beat Rock & Disco(Ric McCord & Disco Inferno) when Valentine submitted McCord with FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. R & D started off strong when Disco got a near-fall after Beefcake's missed turnbuckle charge. R & D got near-falls with Disco's LAST DANCE & McCord's FLYING BODY PRESS. "The Hammer" tagged in and took charge of the match until he finally hammered McCord into submission!
Lance Russell tells Gordon Solie that an new tag team will make their Rebel Wrestling debut next week.

"Strangler" Evan Lewis submitted Yusuf Ismail with STRANGLEHOLD in a Vintage Rules Finisher Match.

Hackenschmidt challenges Lewis to a 1-on-1 match next week, and Lewis accepts!
Stud Stable(Austin Idol & Dutch Mantell) beat Bob & Brad Armstrong when Idol submitted a heavily bleeding Brad Armstrong with LAS VEGAS LEGLOCK. Stud Stable were all over Brad from the opening bell. They kept him from tagging his father, and they taunted Bob throughout the match as he was forced to watch his son get beaten & bloodied by Idol & Mantell. Idol finally put Brad out of his misery when he locked on LAS VEGAS LEGLOCK, and the crimson masked Brad had no choice but to submit! Stud Stable challenged any "pretty boy tag team" to a Tag Team Elimination Match next week. "Everybody Wants You" By Billy Squier plays to cheers as Fabulous Ones come out to accept the challenge!
Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby Heenan are at their backstage Gorilla Position commenting on the action when they go to ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta for the next match: Ida Mae Martinez vs. Toni Rose.

Ida Mae Martinez pinned Toni Rose w/Beverly Shade with DROPKICK. Rose followed her pre-match attack by going to the top rope, but Martinez recovered and threw Rose off the top rope to the mat. Martinez followed that with a pair of DROPKICKS to get the win. The "Yodeling Lady" wins again!
Moondogs(Rex & Spot)w/Jimmy Hart beat Executioners(Ox Baker & Killer Kowalski)w/ Paul Ellering to win the titles when a bloody Spot pinned a bloody Kowalski with double ax-handle off top rope. It looked like Kowalski had Spot beat with KOWALSKI CLAW earlier in the match, but Hart hit Kowalski with the megaphone. Spot & Rex hit MOONDOG DROP for a near-fall before hitting MOONDOG SPLASH. Baker tried to make the save, but Spot threw him out of the ring onto Ellering before hitting double ax-handle off top rope to win the Hardcore Tag Team Titles!
