Card #18- Deep South Wrestling- Eddie Marlin presiding

Matt Striker vs Frightmare
Frightmare tries to use his spooky mask to get in Striker’s face and yell “boo.” Striker responds by punching Frightmare right square in the face. Frightmare stumbles backwards and Striker presses the advantage. Frightmare never gets in any offense. Striker gets in a near fall with Overdrive and then finishes him off with the GOLDEN RULE.

After losing, Frightmare seems really agitated and frustrated. He grabs the mic and states that he will challenge anyone in the world to meet him in the ring next week. He says he’s not losing another match.

Mike Graham v Matt Jackson
Graham starts the match and never lets up. He finishes Jackson off quickly with the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. Jackson gets up to shake Graham’s hand. When Graham extends his hand, Jackson kicks him below the belt and walks away.

Our cameras catch David Von Erich talking to his opponent for the next match, Bob Armstrong. They’re discussing what it’s like to be part of a dominant wrestling family. Things get heated as each man believes his family is the most accomplished. Bob tells David that if his family had any staying power, Fritz would still be wrestling instead of cowering behind a desk like the weak-minded fool he is. David glares at Bob and then turns to leave. As Armstrong drops his guard, David turns back around and puts the Von Erich IRON CLAW on Armstrong. Bob is helpless and with no referee to break the hold, David doesn’t release it until Bob is nearly unconscious on the floor. Their match is next on the card and I’m not sure Bob can make it out for the opening bell.

Bob Armstrong vs David Von Erich
David jumps the wobbly Armstrong just as the bell rings. He takes Armstrong down with a dropkick and then a cross body block for the win.

Kevin Steen vs Tug Taylor
This is a rematch from last week after the match ended in a disqualification. There’s no love lost between Steen and Tugboat. They manage a long, hard fought battle before Tug hits the ANCHOR DROP twice for the win. The fight continues way after the pin is registered. The two men are fighting all over the ringside area. Finally, the locker room empties of wrestlers to break up the action.
Next we have a four-team tournament for the Deep South tag team championship. The titles were vacated last week when The Fabulous Kangaroos won the World Tag Team Championship from the Midnight Express. The Express are the number 1 team in out tournament, followed by The Tolos Brothers, PG-13 and AC/DC. The first match is coming up next.

The Midnight Express vs AC/DC
This first round matchup is tougher than many expect. AC/DC is aggressive from the beginning but Condrey and Eaton’s experience as a team win out. The Midnight Express win when Condrey pins Corbin after the DARK SIDE.

The Tolos Brothers vs PG-13
PG-13 shows why they were such a good team for so long, but the Tolos Brothers get the victory when John Tolos hits the FLYING KNEE DROP ON JC Ice.

World Cruiserweight Championship: Angelo Poffo vs Caleb Conley
Conley put up a good fight, but Poffo defended his title with relative ease. Conley would not go down easily, however as he kicked out of 3 pin attempts before Poffo finally got him with the NECKBREAKER.

Jim Cornette is in the ring and takes the mic from the ring announcer. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you The once and future world tag team champions! Loverboy Dennis and Beautiful Bobby…The Midnight Express!!

Deep South Tag Team Title Tournament Final- Midnight Express w/Jim Cornette vs The Tolos Brothers
Two of the most brutal tag teams in the sport collide in this one as the win the Deep South Tag Team Championship when Condrey pinned John Tolos after a FACE FIRST LEG SWEEP.

Card #19- Central States Wrestling- Sam Munchick presiding

Stokely Hathaway is standing in the ring as the show opens, holding a microphone. He starts by talking about how women’s wrestling doesn’t get the credit it deserves. He says that the women’s champion is every bit as deserving and every bit as talented as her male counterparts. With that, he asks Sherri Martel to come to the ring. He proceeds to tell her how he can make her a household name, not just in wrestling, but in places like Sports Illustrated. He asks her for a chance to manage her starting tonight, in her defense against Amber O’Neil. She agrees and they walk to the locker room together.

Drew Gulak vs Acid Jaz
Acid Jaz won in 7:31 with the Lo Down

Valiants vs Johnny Saint/Tyler Black
The Valiants won in 10:17 when the brothers double clotheslined Tyler Black

Red Bastien vs John Pesek

Konnan vs Mr. Saito

This match is wild from the very beginning. Konnan hits a somersault lariat and gets a near fall in the first 30 seconds of the match. Konnan gets 4 near falls on Saito before he finally gets the win by DQ when he drops Saito throat first on the announcer’s table. Saito is injured in this match and could miss up to 3 months

Jim Londos vs Masked Superstar
Superstar dodges a kick from Londos to start the match and whips him into the ropes. Londos ducks and elbow and comes back with a diving clothesline that knocks both of them out of the ring. They get back in the ring and Londos locks in a Boston Crab. He maintains the hold for nearly a full minute trying to get Superstar to quit. Superstar won’t even consider that option, so Londos finally lets go and locks in a reverse toe hold. Superstar breaks the hold and Londos tries to kick him in the knee again. Superstar sidesteps it again and flattens his opponent with a clothesline. They continue to battle back and forth until Londos finally locks in a sleeper at 6:36 for the win.

Before the next match, a highlight video is shown of incoming superstar Freddie Blassie!!

The Grappler/The Spoiler vs Ace Orton and Abraham Lincoln
The Grappler starts out against Honest Abe. The Grappler is in control until he charges Lincoln in the corner and the resourceful former president moves out of the way, allowing his masked opponent to crash face first into the turnbuckle. Lincoln goes for the quick pin, but The Grappler kicks out at one. Lincoln tags in Ace Orton who immediately smashes The Grappler in the face with his cast. He goes for the pin, but Grappler’s foot is under the ropes. The Cowboy finishes Grappler off with an Orton Bomb at 3:46

The ring announcer takes the mic and announces that Amber O’Neal is not here for her scheduled title shot against Sherri Martel. However, It turns out that someone else is here and willing to take on the shot on short notice. Tonight’s women’s title match will now be between champion Sherri Martel and challenger Mildred Burke!!

Ox Baker vs Randy Savage

Savage starts the match off with a suplex to take control. He whips Baker into the ropes and goes for a back body drop, but Baker drops a big elbow on the back of his head. He grabs the stunned Savage and hits him with the deadly HEART PUNCH and goes for the pin. Savage kicks out at 2 and Baker locks in a bear hug. Savage is fading quickly but he won’t quit. Baker throws Savage into the ropes and goes for a clothesline. Savage ducks it and grabs a Crucifix to try for a surprise pin. Baker kicks out and both men get quickly to their feet and Baker connects with the HEART PUNCH again! And again, Savage kicks out! There’s no way Savage can take much more of this. Baker leaps in the air, aiming a huge stomp at Savage’s chest. Savage rolls out of the way at the last second. Savage connects with a neckbreaker clothesline. He tries another one, but Baker blocks it with his own arm and locks in a nerve hold. Savage breaks the hold and nearly suplexes Baker right out of his boots! As Baker staggers to his feet, Savage climbs the ropes and connects with a flying axehandle for the win in 11:48!

Christina von Eerie vs Sumie Sakai

Sumie Sakai dominated this match from the opening bell and won with a MOONSAULT in 3:54

Baba and Tiger Mask vs Young Bucks

Baba lands a forearm smash on Matt to begin the match. Baba follows up with a headbutt that staggers Matt but he still manages to hit N-Sync and then tag his brother. The bucks tag in and out several times in quick succession trying to wear the Giant down. Matt goes for the X-factor again but Baba counters it and tries to lock in the falling armbreaker. Matt is too quick and escapes the move and then lands the X-factor. Tiger Mask finally tags in and hits a rolling Senton. He tags back out to the legendary Baba who hits the NECKBREAKER DROP for the win in 14:47

["Dr Death" Ric Anderson]

Jim Cornette has asked for special interview time. And since he owns the League of American Wrestling, he gets what he wants.

Cornette: "Ladies and gentlemen I'm about to say something I thought would never escape my lips. I made a mistake. There...I said it. Don't expect it to ever happen again. I let my mother buy up all the wrestling in this country because I thought it would be fun. Turns out, it's actually a lot of work! My responsibilities took me away from my Midnight Express. And now that I'm working with World champion Buddy Rogers and Curt Hennig, I just don't have time for this nonsense anymore. I've decided to sell this big mess to the only people who are qualified to run it. I'm selling LAW to Paul Boesch, Sam Munchnick and Eddie Graham.

They've decided to dissolve LAW and reinstate the NWA. I can't say it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. They're vacating all titles and will start holding tournaments immediately, starting with the NWA world title, which my man Buddy Rogers will win again and hold until the day he retires. Here's a list of the men who will take part in the 32-man tournamet to crown the NWA world heavyweight champion.

The NWA is coming, great news that I wasn't expecting to hear. Cool way to do it too with Cornette selling it to Boesch, Muchnick and Graham. I'm looking forward to what is to come, especially what looks to be an epic tournament to crown a new world heavyweight champion.

Hackenschmidt takes exception to Flair’s antics and goes after him as soon as the bell rings. Flair manages to roll Hackenschmidt into a small package and uses the ropes for leverage to get the win.

We have a very special guest with us tonight for an interview. The massive…and massively beloved….ANDRE THE GIANT!!!
Andre comes to the ring and engulfs the microphone with his massive hand. “Thank you for the kind words…but beloved does not pay Andre’s bills. I’ve made a decision that you may not like and this interview is an advertisement for me. I have decided to rent my service to the highest bidder. So, Jim Cornette, if you need someone to eliminate Nick Bockwinkel for you…or if Bobby Heenan wants Buddy Rogers out of the title picture…all you need to do is meet my price and consider it done. From now on you can call me “Andre the Giant Mercenary” if you wish.
