Cool card. I literally just watched your booking video and you pondering this card. Then straight away see the results! Good to hear the Mulkeys put up a fight and didn’t get totally squashed. I think Iron Sheik could be a real threat to the Heavyweight title Thanks. Iron Sheik was second champion and he lost, back then, to current champ Harley Race so there's definitely some bad blood there. Might give Sheik his shot on the next big card. Hmmmm. Thanks again! |

Card 136 Prime Time Wrestling featuring matches from The Cow Palace, San Francisco, CA. February 4, 1980
The show opened with Bobby Heenan estatic for the debut of his latest signing. Gorilla said that, indeed, Heenan has a new member of the Heenan Family that we will see but it's also Killer Bee night where there will be a special focus on The Killer Bees. Heenan said he's ready and pulled a flyswatter out from underneath the desk as we head to the ring.
Big John Studd, in his debut with Bobby Heenan, makes incredibly short work of George South - SQUASH
Back in the studio, Heenan was crowing and said, 'There's a new giant in Golden State Wrestling!'
Commercial.
Back from the break, we got a promo from The Killer Bees. They said they've been in GSW a long time and that this year they have one goal, to win the titles.
Back in the studio, Heenan is now wearing a beekeeper hat. Monsoon ridiculed him as we cut to our next match.
Sam Houston surprised Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase with a BULLDOG to pick up a quick win - ★★ - After the match, Virgil attacked Houston from behind and he and DiBiase began beating the youngster until Hillbilly Jim ran to the ring and chased away DiBiase and Virgil!
Back in the studio, Gorilla Monsoon announced that Commissioner Patrick had signed a tag match between DiBiase and VIrgil and the team of Houston and Hillbilly Jim. Heenan remarked, "Sam Houston and Hillbilly Jim?! Put their brains together and you'll get a negative IQ"
Commercial.
Back from the break, Gorilla talked about how he and Bobby visited a Bee Farm with The Killer Bees. Heenan begged Monsoon not to show the footage, but he rolled it. The Killer Bees talked to Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan about bees and how their hives work. The segment ended with Heenan tripping over a hive and running away as bees swarmed him.
The Dream Team with Lucious Johnny V beat The Killer Bees when Greg Valentine covered Jim Brunzell after a double back ram in the corner - ★
Back in the studio Heenan laughed, "It's Killer Bees night and those two dummies get swatted."
Commercial.
The Outlaws did a promo welcoming the challenge of The Powers of Pain in the Non-Title match Main Event tonight. Mulligan warned, "You'd better enjoy it, because this is the first and last time you'll be in the ring with us."
In a wild match, Randy Savage beat King Kong Bundy with a FLYING ELBOW SMASH - ★★½
Back in the studio, Heenan ranted about Savage hitting Bundy with the ring bell and chair. Monsoon countered that Heenan had interfered in the match so it was fair. Heenan replied, "But I didn't use weapons!"
In the Main Event, a Non-Title Match, The Outlaws beat The Powers of Pain w/Mr. Fuji when Barry Windham leveled The Barbarian with a LARIAT - ★½
To wrap up, Monsoon wondered who will be able to defeat The Outlaws, perhaps The British Bulldogs? Heenan said he knoknew of a team that could do it. Monsoon asked who, Heenan kept his lips sealed as the credit rolled.

Card 137 - Wrestling Challenge from Golden State Studios, Burbank, CA - February 17, 1980
The Bushwhackers and The Bolsheviks battled to a DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION - ★ - This one was really back and forth until the action spilled outside the ring. The two teams brawled all the way to the back.
Rowdy Roddy Piper made short work of Nacho Barrera using the figure four leglock - SQUASH - Despite getting a few moves in at the start, Barrera fell quickly to Piper. After the bell, Piper tossed Barrera out of the ring and told him to leave Golden State Wrestling for good.
After the commercial, Gordon Solie welcomed Leaping Lanny Poffo and asked him about his upcoming match with Tully Blanchard. Poffo delivered his response, in rhyme, to the cheers of the crowd.
In the Main Event, The Spoiler pinned Hillbilly Jim after an elbow drop - ★★★ - Solid match to end the evening with the rule-breaker Spoiler getting the win.

GSW 138 - Main Event Wrestling from Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, CA. February 23, 1980
The Bolsheviks shocked The Bushwhackers when Boris Zhukov hit Bushwhacker Butch with a Soviet Slam to get the win - ★ - Quick opener that didn't impress the fans much.
Tully Blanchard used the SLINGSHOT SUPLEX to pin Lanny Poffo in a one sided Grudge Match - ★★ - After the match, Bobby Heenan said, "Poffo had better stick to poems or next time Tully would break his fingers!"
The Million Dollar Corporation beat Sam Houston & Hillbilly Jim when DiBiase put Houston out with the MILLION DOLLAR DREAM - ★★ - Neither Virgil or Hillbilly Jim tagged in as Houston and DiBiase went at it. DiBiase's experience soon took over and he was able to easily beat Houston.
Randy Savage beat King Kong Bundy with a knee drop in a hard hitting Grudge Match - ★ - This one was a brutal back and forth! Heenan even got involved a few times. The ref let a lot slide but Savage picks up a solid victory here.
The British Bulldogs won the Western Tag Team Championship by beating The Outlaws when Dynamite Kid covered Barry Windham after a DIVING HEAD BUTT - ★★ - The Bulldogs ended the title reign of The Outlaws in dramatic fashion! They cut the ring in half and used quick tags to wear down Barry Windham who they never allowed to tag out! Mulligan interfered a few times but was always run off by the Bulldogs or the ref. The Coliseum exploded when the Bulldogs got the win. Captain Lou Albano couldn't have been happier!
After the match, things broke down between Barry Windham and Blackjack Mulligan! Windham accused him of letting him take the fall. Mulligan tried to explain but Windham left ringside without his father. Is the this the end of The Outlaws?
In the Main Event, King Harley Race retained the Western Heavyweight Championship via DQ when Iron Sheik hit him with a Persian Club at ringside - ★★★★ - Sheik had Race's number in this match. At one point, Bobby Heenan slipped Race a weapon but Sheik intercepted it and smashed Race with it and almost won. After the bell, Race and Heenan ran from ringside with the title and the Iron Sheik ranted and raved in the middle of the ring.

GSW 139 - Wrestling Superstars from Golden State Studios, Burbank, CA - March 1, 1980
In their debut, The U.S. Express made short work of The Mulkey Brothers when Barry Windham pinned Bill Mulkey after a BULLDOG - SQUASH - What a debut! Before the match, Barry Windham was asked about his father and Windham said, “That’s in the past. I’m looking forward to getting those belts back with my new partner.”
Rowdy Roddy Piper (with Cowboy Bob Orton) used the SLEEPER to put away Tom 'Rocky' Stone - ★ - Stone gave piper a little trouble but Piper was able to get the victory.
After the match, Gordon Solie asked Piper why he seemed to have a bit of trouble with Stone. Piper said, “My mind has been on other things. Mainly winning the Western Heavyweight Championship.” This brought out Bobby Heenan and King Harley Race. Race said, “I welcome your challenge but I tell you one thing, this title will never be around the waist of someone who wears a dress.” This irked Piper but he kept his cool.
Leaping Lanny Poffo shocked Big John Studd with a lighting quick offense that kept Studd off balance until Poffo put him away with a crossbody from the top rope - ★★ - Bobby Heenan who was ringside with Studd was furious and complained to the ref that Poffo had cheated. The crowd loved every second of this.
The Killer Bees beat Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff when B. Brian Blair took the Iron Sheik out with a SLEEPER - ★★½ - Sheik and Volkoff were looking to get a foothold on the tag rankings again but the Bees put a stop to that in an amazing match!
In the Main Event, a rematch for the GSW Television Championship, Magnificent Muraco used an over the shoulder back breaker to beat Hacksaw Jim Duggan to become the new champion - ★★★½ - A heck of a match here! Muraco shocked the crowd by wrestling by the book. Perhaps it was the presence of referee Dick Woehrle who kept Muraco and Mr. Fuji in line. The fans weren’t happy with the result but we have a brand new champion.
