This is tremendous and just so well written. I just read this last show and am now going back to read everything from the beginning. Loved the Windham/Rotunda angle/turn. Great, great stuff. That is high praise—there are so many fantastic feds on this board (and there will be one more when Slymm starts his), so I appreciate you wanting to take the time and go back through my history. Thank you so much for your interest and your kind words—it is very much appreciated. 🙂 |

I'll be sure to keep up with it going forward. I've been posting pieces of a project on the FG Promoters Facebook page recently. This and Toasterboy's Golden State Wrestling have inspired me to take the leap and start a thread here. Thanks! |

Ho-ly sh!t. I will go out on a limb and say even with that No Contest, this may have been your greatest show to date. I didn't attend this one due to the seating fiasco at the last event (skybox my ass) but I was eager to find out what happened. Just send Steamboat back to me bro 😅 I mean, if he was going to lose AGAIN, I am glad it was to Meng, but still. Little Richie is going to grow up thinking his father was just a big loser. Hennig-Meng should be great, two of my favorite cards to use. I was not prepared for that swerve this early in the morning. I don't know who to trust anymore. Glad to see Rotunda and knew you were bringing him in, but you got me you SOB 😤 (Side note - my fondest memory of Zbyszko is not him turning on Bruno back in the day, but the time he was taking a piss in the urinal next to me at an Evolve show a few years ago. No swordfighting went down). The main event was amazing, I felt like I was in the front row (which I do hope to be one of these days, instead of parked all the way in the back squished between two CiCi's Annual Passholders like I was at the last show. Thanks again for that). Road Warriors vs MVC will never not be a great match, and they're always fun to play out. Lastly, Jannetty is a bum and George is an asshole 😂 Great stuff and superbly written as always 👏👏👏 Wow! Thank you so much for everything you said. I really liked this show myself, so I’m glad it carried over to you. I was trying to decide who to bring as the fourth member of the Faux Horsemen, and I was torn between Windham, Rotunda, and Steve Williams. Dr. Death is having a lot of success tagging with Terry Gordy right now, so I didn’t really want to split them up. That left Rotunda and Windham, and I noticed that Zbyszko had been on the losing end of a number of matches. So I thought, “Why not both?” Seriously, man. I don’t know what it is with Ricky Steambot. He performs well in his matches—he got three tokens on Meng—but he just can’t pull the trigger. Maybe a pairing with Curt Hennig will turn his luck around. I actually had a front row seat for you, but there was a child who wanted to see the show, so it went to Little Jimmy at the last minute. F Little Jimmy. Who are you the Wu-Tang Clan, for the children and whatnot? Smh You should run an angle where Steamboat's son Little Richard grows up to become Johnny B. Badd who then turns on him because his dad is such a loser. Or just tag Ricky and Curt, whichever works best 😅 |

December 5, 2090
No sparks, lasers, or theme song tonight; just a cold open and Teddy Long in the ring, looking more serious than he usually does.
In-Ring Promo: General Manager Teddy Long
Gary Michael Cappetta handed the GM the house microphone, and Long addressed the events of the last show. He admitted that he liked to run a pretty loose ship, and let the wrestlers settle things for themselves. But... "Putting your hands on a referee is absolutely not okay! I met with the officiating crew just before the show tonight, and they said they needed more power to enforce the rules and protect themselves from rogue wrestlers. Well, Genie Teddy Long is going to grant their wish. As of tonight, any CWA referee has the option to not only disqualify a wrestler if he puts his hands on him, but to suspend him for ninety days!"
Long gave the crowd a moment to absorb this, then he went on. "I'm going to back up the referees and say right now: if a referee disqualifies you or suspends you, I'm going to strip you of any ranking you may hold, and if you're a champion, you can kiss that title goodbye! I'll also be bringing in an old friend of mine to act as an enforcer to give the officials some bite. Now, play my music!"
The crowd cheered as the GM's theme music played, and Long finally began to dance as he made his way to the back.
Robert Gibson & "Rocker" Marty Jannetty vs. Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo (with JJ Dillon)
Referee: James Beard
Windham and Gibson locked up to start the match, and the apparent Horseman took an immediate advantage, which was cemented by frequent tags to his partner. After a number of these quick exchanges, Windham knocked the breath out of Gibson's lungs with a power bomb, then tagged Rotunda back into the ring. The Syracuse University standout missed a back elbow, but blocked an attempted body slam by his opponent and took him down with a vertical suplex. Gibson climbed to his feet holding his ribs--a condition not helped by Rotunda, who immediately applied an abdominal stretch. He leaned back with the hold, stretching Gibson badly, and then added insult (and injury) to injury by grabbing the ropes for leverage.
Gibson suddenly shouted in agony, and referee James Beard took a peek behind Rotunda's back to see if he had an illegal advantage. Of course, Rotunda had released the rope a split second before he was caught, then went back to the illegal tactic when the ref's attention was back on Gibson. This game of cat and mouse continued for far too long for Gibson's sake...and just as he submitted to the hold, Beard finally caught Rotunda in the act, waving off the submission (and doing no favors for Robert Gibson) and forcing the Horseman to break the hold. Rotunda picked Gibson up and planted him with a DOUBLE ARM SUPLEX, then tagged in Barry Windham for a floatover SUPERPLEX. Jannetty tried to charge into the ring to break up the pinfall, but he tripped over the bottom rope and landed flat on his face. James Beard dove into position to make the count: one...two...three!
WINNERS: Barry Windham & Mike Rotunda via pinfall (4:46) ½
Post-Match Drama
After the match had ended, Marty Jannetty pushed himself to his feet and ran to Gibson's side, apologizing profusely for failing to carry his weight in the match. (Again.) He helped his partner to his feet and put an arm around him to help him walk to the back, when all of a sudden...
Listen everybody, let me tell you 'bout the rock 'n' roll...
Feel that rhythm and it's really gonna thrill your soul...
The crowd--especially the female fans--came unglued and jumped to their feet as Ricky Morton walked out from the back, still moving gingerly as he was nursing the neck injury he sustained at the hands of the Road Warriors. He climbed carefully into the ring as Jannetty forced a grin and clapped heartily for his other hero. Morton motioned Robert over and whispered something in his ear. Suddenly, Gibson frowned deeply, turned around, and sucker punched Jannetty! Despite the cheap shot, the crowd roared in approval as Gibson dropped the mat and began raining punches down on Jannetty's face, and then arms as the Rocker lifted them to protect himself. When he felt Jannetty had been punished enough, Morton grabbed his partner's arm and pulled him up to his feet. The reunited Rock & Roll Express left the ring together as the crowd went wild.
Magnum TA vs. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (with Bobby "the Brain" Heenan)
Referee: Dick Woehrle
Magnum TA came into this match hoping to turn things around, but he ran into a muscular, Rick Rude-shaped wall. The Ravishing one took an immediate advantage with a knee to Magnum's midsection and an inverted atomic drop. The winless fan favorite was wobbled, and Rude capitalized with a surprise power bomb for a count of two. Magnum rolled out of the ring to regain his thoughts, but Heenan's man followed him to the floor, lifted him in the air and drove him face-first onto the ring apron. A RUDE AWAKENING onto the hard floor followed, and Magnum barely made it back into the ring to avoid the count out. Rude had climbed to the top turnbuckle, and as Magnum rolled in beneath the bottom rope, Rude leaped off and landed a nasty flying knee drop to Magnum's head. The Ravishing one picked his opponent up off the mat--which was no small feat, as Magnum was largely dead weight--and hit another RUDE AWAKENING for the easy three-count.
WINNER: "Ravishing" Rick Rude via pinfall (7:13) *½
Hillbilly Jim vs. Tully Blanchard (with JJ Dillon)
Referee: Danny Davis
Oddsmakers did not give Jim much of a chance coming into this match, and in the first moments, it seemed they would be right. Blanchard raked his eyes right after the bell and clamped on an arm bar, but the Hillbilly was able to power out until his opponent kicked him in the stomach. Blanchard signaled for the end of the match and set his opponent up for a piledriver, but Jim powered out of it and dumped the Horseman onto his back, following up with a body slam that left Blanchard on the mat, clutching the small of his back and begging off any additional punishment. Another eye rake softened Jim up for a standing dropkick, which was simply batted away, and Blanchard fell to the mat once more. Jim whipped his opponent into the ropes and took him down with a back body drop, then delivered an atomic drop that sent Blanchard bouncing over the top rope and out of the ring.
Once on the floor, Blanchard was able to turn things around courtesy of a low blow while JJ Dillon had Danny Davis occupied in the far corner. Blanchard's standing dropkick finally paid dividends; he rolled Jim into the ring and made the cover for a mere one-count, if that. JJ Dillon called his man over for a little conference, but this allowed Jim a chance to regain his feet and catch his breath. Dillon suddenly pointed over his man's shoulder, and Blanchard spun around, charged, and ran right into a big boot. Jim made the cover for one...two...kickout! Blanchard stumbled to his feet and his opponent moved in for the kill.
Jim went right to work on his opponent's injured back, body slamming him not once but twice, then dropping a big leg across his neck. Jim went for a cover: one...two...no! Blanchard got a shoulder up. Another body slam left Blanchard stunned, so Jim picked him up in a huge BEAR HUG, grinding on the Horseman's sore back, though he refused to submit, and finally raked the big Hillbilly's eyes to gain relief from the hold. Blanchard quickly slid out of the ring to confer with his manager, but Jim was not through yet: he followed his opponent to the floor and charged...but Blanchard saw him coming and caught with a drop toe hold that sent Jim's head bouncing off the steel ring steps.
Back in the ring, a SLINGSHOT SUPLEX only earned Blanchard a count of two, and he shouted at Danny Davis, slapping his hand on the mat to show him what the cadence of the count should have been. As Blanchard argued with the official, Dillon slipped into the ring and blasted Jim with his own horseshoe, busting him wide open and knocking him out cold. Blanchard turned around and made a lazy cover: DING DING DING! Blanchard looked around in confusion and Dillon was already climbing onto the apron to protest a disqualification, but that was not the result.
NO WINNER: time limit draw (15:00) ****
The Midnight Express (with Jim Cornette & Big Bubba Rogers) vs. The Fantastics
Referee: Joey Marella
Nice show of sportsmanship to start the match as all four men shook hands, and the Fantastics even nodded towards Jim Cornette, who returned the gesture. Once the bell rang, however, it was all business in the ring. Tommy Rogers and Bobby Eaton locked up to kick things off, and Rogers took immediate control with an arm wringer, transitioned into an arm bar that forced Eaton to his knees. Rogers drove his foot into his opponent's midsection, then twisted Eaton's arm just so, forcing him back onto his feet, and whipped him into the corner. Rogers charged in after him, but Beautiful Bobby lifted a foot, catching Rogers squarely in the face. He made a quick tag to Stan Lane, then climbed to the rope as Lane wrapped Rogers up in a bear hug...VEG-O-MATIC! Marella dove into position for the count: one...two...Bobby Fulton with the save--a kick to Lane's ribs.
Incensed, Lane chased Fulton to the floor and around the ring until Joey Marella had reached a count of eight, at which point Jim Cornette screamed at his man to get back into the ring. When he did, he found Rogers waiting for him with a kick to the face and much-needed tag to his partner. Fulton climbed to the top rope while Lane was down and he and Rogers went for the FANTASTIC FLIP, but Lane got his knees up at the last second. With his opponent winded, Lane climbed to his feet, shook his head to clear the cobwebs, and planted a karate kick into his Fulton's rib cage as he tried to stand up. Lane grabbed Fulton by the hair but was surprised by a SMALL PACKAGE for a one count. Fulton moved more quickly than Sweet Stan could follow: VICTORY ROLL for two. Another SMALL PACKAGE for two-and-a-half. Fulton tagged in Rogers, and they hit the ROCKET LAUNCHER on Lane for one...two...and there was Jim Cornette, jabbing his tennis racket into Rogers' throat.
Despite the popularity of the Midnight Express, a small portion of the crowd booed the tactic; Cornette turned to the fans and gave a little smirk and a shrug, as if to say, "Hey, what else could I do?" Lane dragged his opponent into the center of the ring by the foot, pivoted around Rogers' leg, and clamped on a figure four. Fulton rushed in for the save, but Eaton cut him off with a straight right hand that dimmed Fulton's lights. Rogers fought against the hold, but he was still struggling to breathe. Between that and the pain in his knee, and with Fulton nowhere in sight, Rogers was forced to give up.
WINNERS: The Midnight Express via submission (11:41) **½
Bill Apter's Hot Seat, featuring Gorgeous George and Cherie Dupré
With Apter already in the ring, George strutted out for his interview, barking at Cherie Dupré to walk behind him, then barking at her again to hold the ropes open for him. The crowd booed at his treatment of his valet, who seemed particularly meek today, but the ire of the crowd did not seem to faze George at all.
The Gorgeous one took a position next to Apter, while Cherie Dupré was told to remain on the arena floor. Apter greeted him politely, and George responded, "Thank you. It's your pleasure to have me here." George was congratulated for winning the "Television Title" for the second time, and the Gorgeous one opened his robe so fans could see the brightly polished belt around his waist. George was about to respond, when...
You know it's the MacMilitant...
Coming to get it on...
General Manager Teddy Long came storming down the aisle, microphone in hand. He climbed into the ring and told Gorgeous George that his "reign of terror" was at an end. He went on: "You've been taking liberties with your opponents. You've injured Crusher's knee. You've taken out Lou Thesz...twice. But it's not gonna happen again. As of right now, you are on permanent probation. If you deliberately injure one of your opponents again, you'll be stripped of that title and suspended, not for ninety days, but permanently!" The crowd responded with applause and cheers at Long's words, but George grew incensed and a wild look appeared in his eyes.
"That's all well and good," he said, "but I don't see an opponent in the ring. Just a scrawny little man who's asking for a 'spanking.'" George began to advance on the GM, who held up his hands and shook his head, cautioning George to back off. But there was no backing off for George; he grabbed hold of Long by the tie and raised his other hand to deck him...
But the punch never came, as when he went to swing, Cherie Dupré had grabbed his arm. She shook her head plaintively, imploring him not to risk his career by attacking Long. George's eyes, already wild, grew wide at his valet. He looked at her hand, still clutching his arm, and released the General Manager...to backhand Cherie Dupré across the face, knocking her to the mat! The crowd erupted into angry boos at the cowardly act, and George stepped toward his fallen valet...
And just that quickly, "Macho Man" Randy Savage came tearing down the aisle, slid into the ring, and tackled George from behind. Savage mounted his chest and rained down punches on the Gorgeous one while Bill Apter checked on Cherie and Long shouted for Savage to stop. Eventually, George was able to squirm free, leaving his valet behind, but grabbing his belt (which had loosened and fallen off in the struggle) and making his way to the back, looking towards the ring and shouting threats and Savage, Long, Apter, and even Cherie.
Savage--receiving a thunderous ovation for the first time in a long time--crouched down on one knee to check on Cherie, and ultimately escorted her from the ring to the backstage area, where a medical team could look her over.
Non-Title Match: CWA World Heavyweight Champion "Handsome" Harley Race (with Bobby "the Brain" Heenan) vs. Curt Hennig If Hennig pins Race, he gets a shot at the World Title
Referee: Morgan Dollar
As Gary Michael Cappetta began his ring introductions, Hennig climbed on to the second turnbuckle and threw his hands up in the air, bringing the crowd to its feet. Unfortunately, this took his eyes of Harley Race, who accepted a steel chair handed to him through the ropes by his manager. By the time Hennig had dropped off the turnbuckle and turned back towards the ring, Race was on him, and smashed the chair over his head! Morgan Dollar got in Race's face and scolded him, but Race pointed out (rightly) that "the bell hasn't rung yet." He slid the chair along the canvas and out to the floor while Dollar, gritting his teeth, called for the bell.
Laying dazed on the mat, Hennig was easy prey for Race, who scooped him up for a PILEDRIVER. He made a lazy cover and the official counted: one...two...kickout! Race jumped to his feet and began shouting at Morgan Dollar, going so far as to poke him in the chest repeatedly. Meanwhile, Dollar was oblivious to Heenan who crept into the ring holding the same steel chair and waffled Hennig across the back. As Heenan made his getaway, Race turned towards his opponent and moved in for the kill. A falling knee drop caught Hennig in the temple, and Race followed up with a shoulder breaker before climbing to the top rope. He nailed his opponent with a DIVING HEAD BUTT that broke open a nasty cut across Hennig's forehead, then went for the cover: one...two...thr--no! Hennig kicked out again!
Frustrated, Race went up top for another DIVING HEAD BUTT, but this time, he only got a count of two! While Race picked up Hennig for a crushing backbreaker, Heenan motioned to the back, bringing Meng and Rick Rude out to ringside. The two men made their way into the ring, and Race nodded towards his fallen opponent making a "help yourself" gesture. With Morgan Dollar protesting the entire time, Rude scraped Hennig up off the mat, holding his arms so Meng could deliver a superkick, which caught their former stablemate in the bloody forehead. Rude released Hennig, who crumpled to the mat while the official called for the bell, which Gary Michael Cappetta rang furiously.
WINNER: Curt Hennig via disqualification (7:14) ***
Post-Match Drama
Once the bell had sounded, all three members of the Heenan family began wailing on Hennig with punches, kicks, and double ax handles. Meng and Rude even picked him up so Bobby Heenan could slap him across the face, shouting, "Stay out of Heenan Family business!" Heenan backed away and Rude set up Hennig--who could barely stand on his own--for a RUDE AWAKENING...
The crowd came to its feet (again!) as Ricky Steamboat came rushing out from the back, with a steel chair in his hands. He slid into the ring and drove the edge of the chair into Rude's ribs, causing him to drop Hennig and double over in pain. He swung wildly at Harley Race, who jumped out of the way. Finally, the Dragon turned towards Meng and smashed him over the head with the chair.
Meng merely struck his chest with a fist and screamed in outrage. He advanced towards Steamboat, until Curt Hennig (who had made it up to his knees) drove his arm up between Meng's legs with a low blow. Meng staggered forward into a chair shot by the Dragon, then Rude and Race grabbed their stablemate by the arms and dragged him out of the ring while Steamboat dropped the chair and motioned for the house microphone.
"It seems you're all pretty tough when it's three-on-one, but you run away when the sides even up. Why don't you show us how tough you are and take on me and Curt Hennig in a tag team match at the Last Stand in Oklahoma City!?!?!?" The crowd erupted for the challenge. Rude was shaking his head no, and Heenan was stammering excuses, though no one could hear him. What everyone could hear, however, is the monster Meng throwing his head back and screaming, "YEEEEEESSSS!"

Yeah, even if I ever start my fed I'm not posting it f this competition 😅
Ok, where do I start? You describing Teddy Long is absolutely perfect. So, a wrestler DQ'd will be stripped of his title? Did I read that correctly? And his enforcer huh? Hmmmmm I don't think you've given me any inside info on who that might be but if I had to guess I would say Repo Man 🙏 so Teddy can send him to take back the titles from wrestlers who get stripped of them.
Does your promotion drug test it's wrestlers? *cough* Jannetty *cough*. I would have beat him up too. What a bum.
HBJ carried Tully to a 4-star match! He's tired of carrying guys. I'm ready for Heelbilly Jim with '6. HORSEHOE (+2) dis 5'. Please do it. 😅
Idk if it's the medication or what but I was so confused during the MX-Fantastics match. I thought Rogers (Bubba) turned halfway through until I realized you were talking about Rogers (Tommy)... oy vey.
Gorgeous George is a sadistic, wifebeatin' mfer. Savage will surely show him how to treat a woman 😭
Steamboat & Hennig vs Meng & whoever should be great. I just hope the Dragon doesn't take another loss. If he does, retire him and send my PDF back!
Awesome stuff homie, really fun to read!

First, as always, thank you so much for your kind words and support. It really means a lot to me and helps keep me inspired to roll out the matches.
A champion won’t lose his title just for being disqualified, but if he is disqualified for putting his hands on a referee. Likewise, anyone who is ranked will have his record reset to 0-0-0 and have to work his way back up the ladder.
The CWA doesn’t drug test it’s performers because they’re, you know. Holograms. But even with Jannetty’s uselessness as a tag team partner, it’s not like the mellow Robert Gibson to sucker punch someone and beat them up. Heel turn? Or something else…
Hillbilly Jim actually turned some heads on that match—so much so that he has been given a title match against Gorgeous George at the Last Stand in Oklahoma City. Now watch him ruin all my plans and win. But yeah, George has clearly gone beyond his primping to become a sadist. But he still looks so pretty…
Sorry about the confusion in the tag team match. I didn’t even think of that until you pointed it out.
I’m so glad you liked the show. I will keep on posting.
