Dec. 11, 2118

FRENCH ANGEL & GEORGE STEELE def. THE ARMSTRONGS

The new team of Maurice Tillet and the Animal Steele pick up another nice victory. Bob Armstrong took most of the beating and went down for good after a headbutt.

GEORGE HACKENSCHMIDT def. ADRIAN STREET

Last week the Russian Lion took care of Gorgeous George. This week he did the same to his tag partner Adrian Street. Hackenschmidt dominated with the bear hug and then an arm bar.

HEAVENLY BODIES def. BRUTUS BEEFCAKE & KOKO B. WARE

Beefcake and the Birdman looked good for awhile, each using their finisher on Stan Lane. The Bodies got things turned around and Lane pinned Koko after the Midnight Lariat and the Superkick.

THE AXE ATTACK def. GREG VALENTINE & DON MURACO

The Hennigs continued the long standing feud with Lou Albano's men in this one. Muraco and the Hammer never got anything going their way and it was Larry Hennig finishing Muraco with power forearms.

RICK RUDE def. ED LEWIS

An awesome battle here with each man going back and forth standing toe to toe. These two went to work for a long time before Rude finally landed his finisher for the win. He picked Lewis up afterwards and delivered another Rude Awakening.

HARLEY RACE & BUDDY ROGERS def. VALIANT BROTHERS

The combination of Race and Rogers are thinking about the world tag team titles. The former U.S. tag champs the Valiants briefly had Race in trouble but it didn't last long. Rogers put away Johnny Valiant for the win.

JOHN PESEK def. JIMMY SNUKA

The Tiger Man is thinking titles as he polished off the Superfly with no sweat. Snuka couldn't get out of the doubl wristlock.

FRANK GOTCH & JIM LONDOS def. KANGAROOS

The U.S. tag team champions contributed to the free fall of the Kangaroos who are in search of any win they can get, but still taking on the top competition. They did have Gotch down but he turned everything around with an Iowa Backdrop and the Gotch Toe Hold on Al Costello ended the match.

OX BAKER def. DESTROYER

A special non-title challenge match as WWC Universal champion Ox Baker beat the U.S title holder the Destroyer at Survivor Series in the final of the Champions Challenge tournament. Ox Baker is on a monumental roll and hit the Destroyer with the Heart Punch and won the match in no time at all. Baker and Oliver Humperdink added insult to injury after the match.

Next week it will be the Clash of the Champions live on national television!!!

USWA CLASH OF THE CHAMPIONS IV
Denver, CO
December 18, 2118

KANGAROOS def. THE AXE ATTACK

Wild Red Berry's men have hit hard times of late and really needed a win. They came out and got that win in no time at all. In less than a minute they landed the Boomerang on Larry Hennig for the pin.

RICK RUDE def. ED LEWIS

Last week on Glory these two had a great match that Rude won, then used his finisher on the Strangler after the match. This time around Rude stayed in control all the way and hit the Rude Awakening for the win.

HARLEY RACE & BUDDY ROGERS def. HEAVENLY BODIES

Race and Rogers continue to rack up wins in the tag team division. The Bodies didn't get much going their way but still put up a good fight. Sherri Martel was ejected from ringside for her interference, and then Race piledrove Prichard to end the match.

TABLE MATCH
MADUSA MICELI def. MISTY BLUE SIMMS

A special attraction grudge match featuring the IWWF champion Misty Blue and the former title holder. These two are traveling around the world wrestling hardcore matches, but the belt is not on the line. Madusa missed and put herself thru the table, but stayed alive and later sent Misty Blue crashing thru two tables. The match kept on going until Misty Blue missed and broke two more tables and Madusa took the fall.

NWA WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
JOHN PESEK def. D-LO BROWN (ch)

An awesome title bout here as D-Lo battled bravely all the way. Pesek really dominated but Brown wouldn't stop fighting as he only just won the title eight days ago. Brown did hit the Sky High twice but Pesek's ground attack was too much. A waistlock slam and then the toe hold finally ended the bout and Pesek took his first ever championship.

Pesek uncharacteristically extended a hand to D-Lo after the bout. Just then Dan Severn stormed in and knocked Pesek out of the way and proceeded to beat on D-Lo Brown.

FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH
WWC CARRIBEAN HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP
BRUISER BRODY (ch) def. THE SHEIK

These two are also going all over the world trying to maim each other. Brody retained the title one more time after an all-out brawl that covered the entire arena. Brody won the match after his flying knee drop on the concrete floor.

UNITED STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK def. FRANK GOTCH & JIM LONDOS (ch)

Two weeks ago tempers flared between these teams and the title contest ended in a double disqualification. This time London and Kendrick started out in good shape keeping Gotch in the ring a long time. The teams went back and forth but Kendrick hit his Sliced Bread #2 on Gotch and scored the three count to win the belts.

UNITED STATES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
OX BAKER def. THE DESTROYER (ch)

The WWC Universal champion is seemingly unstoppable over the last month. He has defeated Andre the Giant, won the Universal title, and beat the Destroyer at Survivor Series to win the champions challenge tournament. Last week on Glory Baker defeated the Destroyer with the Heart Punch and was rewardeds with a title shot.

The Destroyer got the first shots in but Ox Baker showed his toughness. After going to the floor Baker dropped the Destroyer with the Heart Punch and won the match to become a two-time U.S. champion. He last held the title just over two years ago in November of 2116.

USWA Glory #103
Reno, NV
Jan. 1, 2119

USWA Glory brings the wrestling action you want on New Year's Day!

RICK RUDE def. AL SNOW

A lot of new wrestlers coming in to the USWA this week. Al Snow gave Rick Rude a tremendous match, almost winning by countout and using the top rope to his advantage. Rude eventually put several power moves together for the win. His manager Sherri Martel has shown up in the IWWF once again, and was not at ringside but says she is still the manager of Rick Rude.

HARLEY RACE & BUDDY ROGERS def. SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE by D.Q.

Race and Rogers are undefeated as a tag team and systematically took apart each of the Samoans. Samu and Alofa then went to the steel chairs and were disqualified.

BOB ROOP def. ED LEWIS

Coming from ICW, Bob Roop took on a former U.S. champion and showed that he is indeed a tremendous technical wrestler. Lewis was on the defensive nearly the entire match, but showed how incredibly tough he is. Lewis would not stop fighting and frustrated Roop to no end, but he finally went down to a spinning neckbreaker. Roop continued to attack Lewis after the match. (Lewis 8 coins)

TED DIBIASE & MAGNUM T.A. def. BOLSHEVIKS

Two new tag teams from ICW and WWC respectively. Magnum did it all himself this time quickly beating Volkoff with neither man making a tag. It was then that Bob Roop hit T.A. from behind and at the direction of Ted DiBiase continued the assault and the two went to the back together. For the first time, in a long time, a familiar laugh was heard from the mouth of Ted DiBiase.

DON MURACO def. GIANT BABA

Baba returns to the USWA after spending a long time in ICW. Muraco greeted him by beating him severely for a very long time. Baba is hard to put down but Muraco was on fire and never let up, getting the win with the over the shoulder backbreaker. Ted DiBiase and Bob Roop came back out and directed Muraco to put the Asiatic Spike on Baba. After a short discussion Muraco left with DiBiase and Roop.

THE AXE ATTACK def. MASKED SUPERSTAR I & II

The Masked Superstars come into the USWA from ICW. The Hennig worked better together in this one and a Perfect Plex won the match.

BOBO BRAZIL def. GREG VALENTINE

Lou Albano was not here tonight even though some of his men were. Bobo took care of the Hammer with the hammer punch appropriately enough.

DESTROYER def. DICK HUTTON

Hutton won a battle royal at Survivor Series for a U.S. title shot. Last month the Destroyer beat Hutton by count out. Since then the Destroyer lost the belt to Ox Baker. Hutton was looking for revenge but the Destroyer was able to control the match and win with the sensational suplex.

UNITED STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
FRANK GOTCH & JIM LONDOS def. PAUL LONDON & BRIAN KENDRICK (ch)

Just last night Paul London was at ICW Starrcade but came up short against Danny Hodge in his bid for the World Jr. heavyweight title. Londrick lost the belts back to Gotch and Londos after an airplane spin by Londos.

USWA Glory #104
Portland, OR
Jan. 8, 2119

THE AXE ATTACK def. BOLSHEVIKS

The Hennigs dominated as Volkoff and Zhukov have gotten off to a bad start in the USWA. Curt finished off Zhukov with a knee lift.

In the ring: Familiar music that hadn't been heard in quite some time started playing, and Ted DiBiase headed to the ring with Don Muraco and Bob Roop. "That's right people. The Million Dollar Man is back. To make it official, these two men here are the first members of the Million Dollar Corporation. Mr. Roop left ICW to come here and join me. I bought the contract of Don Muraco from Lou Albano.

"Now, to the unfortunate souls that got in our way last week, that being Ed Lewis, Giant Baba, and Magnum T.A. You were just in the wrong place at the right time to be the ones to find out first hand we're not be trifled with. I'm back and taking over the USWA. Nobody can do anything about it."

After that Virgil came out and went up against Murco. The former bodyguard of the Million Dollar Man had little go his way and was easily beaten. Next, Roop took on George South and quickly beat him with the shoulderbreaker.

BUFF BAGWELL def. AL SNOW

The former World TV champion Buff Bagwell lost his rematch with John Pesek at Starrcade, and is now in the USWA. The Buff Blockbuster put Snow down for the three.

HARLEY RACE & BUDDY ROGERS def. SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE

Last week the match belonged to Race and Rogers, but the Samoans went to the steel chairs. This time it was the Figure Four of Rogers ending the match.

GREG VALENTINE def. DON LEO JONATHAN

Lou Albano hasn't been since the Clash of the Champions IV, but Valentine took on the former I-C champion Don Leo Jonathan anyway. A real good, hard fought contest saw the Hammer win with the figure four.

FRANK GOTCH & JIM LONDOS def. TOM PRICHARD & JOHNNY VALIANT

Sherri Martel hasn't returned from the IWWF, Stan Lane has gone down to Mexico, and Prichard hooked up with Valiant since Jimmy Valiant has traveled down to Puerto Rico. The new U.S. tag champs dismissed Valiant with the airplane spin.

BOBO BRAZIL def. DICK HUTTON

Hutton had some good things going but Brazil was too strong. A couple headbutts sent Hutton to the mat.

DESTROYER def. THE MOUNTIE by D.Q.

The Mountie made his debut in the USWA with a good match against the former U.S. champion. The Mountie went to the shock stick and was diqualified.

[tystates]

USWA Glory #105
Boise, Idaho
Jan. 15, 2119

THE AXE ATTACK def. SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE

The Hennigs seem to be making a serious push in the tag team division. The Samoans showed their toughness but a Perfect Plex downed Samu.

GREG VALENTINE def. VIRGIL

Virgil put up a real good fight. The Hammer worked hard to win after the falling elbow.

DICK HUTTON def. AL SNOW

Al Snow is still in search of his first win in the USWA. Hutton easily won with the abdominal stretch.

BOBO BRAZIL def. BUFF BAGWELL

Bobo Brazil remained unbeaten since his return to the USWA. Bagwell couldn't slow the big man down and Bobo's power was too much.

DON LEO JONATHAN def. RICK RUDE

The Ravishing One didn't have it on this night and DLJ rolled to a fast win with the Mormon Swing. Ted DiBiase and his Million $ Corporation raced out to attack Jonathan. DiBiase then said it was only a statement to keep everyone in line and let them know not to get in their way.

HARLEY RACE & BUDDY ROGERS def. MASKED SUPERSTARS I & II by D.Q.

Race had things in control for awhile. The two masked men went outside for a double team and laid Race out with steel chairs.

THE MOUNTIE def. DESTROYER

The Mountie with a big win over the former U.S. champion. The Mountie was DQed last week, but not this time after using the Shock Stick.

MAGNUM T.A., ED LEWIS, GIANT BABA def. MILLION $ CORPORATION

DiBiase's men didn't get the job done in this six-man main event. T.A. took on Roop and Muraco, then it was Lewis turning Muraco over to Baba. Muraco was battered and pinned after a leg sweep.

[tystates]

USWA Glory #106
Great Falls, MT
Jan. 22, 2119

TED DIBIASE def. AL SNOW

The Million Dollar Man opened Glory in his first match since reforming the Corporation. Al Snow gave him a good match after having lost his first three outings in the USWA. Bob Roop and Don Muraco were at ringside for this one. They helped out when the combatants went outside and and after that the Million $ Dream ended the night for Snow.

ED LEWIS def. BOB ROOP by C.O.

The Strangler got another chance at Bob Roop who was the first to join up with DiBiase. Lewis somehow kept the allies at ringside from slowing him down and beat Roop by countout after running his head into the ringpost.

GIANT BABA def. DICK HUTTON

Dick Hutton didn't care about size differential and put in another excellent effort. Baba was in a lot of trouble as Hutton used the second rope and his abdominal stretch. Baba kept fighting back though and won with a back suplex.

MAGNUM T.A. def. GREG VALENTINE

Magnum picked up a win with relative ease. The Hammer made him pay big time after the match and locked in the figure four.

HARLEY RACE & BUDDY ROGERS def. MASKED SUPERSTAR I & II

Race and Rogers are still undefeated and waiting word on when they will get a match for the world tag team titles. Masked Superstar was beaten with no problem by Race with a swinging neckbreaker.

BOBO BRAZIL def. RICK RUDE

A real nice matchup between former U.S. and I-C champions. It was Bobo's power that eventually led him to victory with a headbutt.

DON LEO JONATHAN def. DON MURACO

A really good matchup as DLJ got his hands on one of the Million $ Corporation members that jumped him last week. Muraco made use of the Asiatic Spike but was unable to put the big man away. Jonathan emerged the winner with the Mormon Swing.

DESTROYER def. MOUNTIE by D.Q.

Another stiff encounter between these two. Both hit finishers early on but just kept on beating the heck out of each other. The Mountied was disqualified once again.

UNITED STATES TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
THE AXE ATTACK def. FRANK GOTCH & JIM LONDOS (ch)

The challengers looked damn good as they had an answer for everything the champs tried to do. The Axe was on top of his game and used his power to great advantage. Curt Hennig matched his opponents on the mat and the father/son team would not be denied. Curt got the tag and a Perfect Plex pinned Londos.
