Card #11
June 9, 1990
Baltimore, Maryland

1) David Taylor Esq. beat Super Crazy with a European Uppercut in 10:45.
-Solid opener that saw Crazy hit a ridiculous Triple Moonsault on the Brit. Luckily for Taylor he was close enough to the ropes to throw a foot on the bottom one to force a break. Crazy went for a Flying Crossbody and Taylor hit a desperation uppercut that knocked him semi-conscious for the win.

2) Dan "The Beast" Severn (w/ Jim Cornette) defeated The Crusher with a Heel hook in 6:32.
-A surprisingly one sided bout as Crusher couldn't get his brawling tactics to gain any advantage. Severn outwrestled his foe and forced a tap out.

3) The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy) (w/ Buddy Roberts) fought The Eliminators (Perry Saturn & John Kronus) to a Double-Disqualification in 8:09.
-Freebirds were absolutely more aggressive than in past matches and Saturn and Kronus matched their intensity. The match spilled out on the floor and the ref could not contain the action and called for the bell. Roberts joined in to make it a 3 on 2 and swayed the momentum post-match. Kronus was tossed into the ringpost while Gordy delivered a Power Bomb to Saturn on the concrete. PW USA officials were out to break things up and to admonish the Birds.

Bill Apter's HOT SEAT (w/ Ivan Koloff & Eddie Gilbert)
BA: Hello fans I hope that you are enjoying the action so far. At this time I'd like to introduce the Pro Wrestling USA Heavyweight champion, "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff and his manager Eddie Gilbert.
EG: Apter I realize that people aren't a witness to greatness very often but Hot Stuff International is a prime example of the best around. I have the heavyweight champion under contract and his nephew is the most powerful wrestler not only in this company but in the world. So ask any question you like.
BA: Well, coming up the Super Summer Sizzler will be held on June 22nd in Pittsburgh. Who will Ivan Koloff defend his belt against?
IK: It makes no difference who the opponent is Bill Apter. Koloff always comes out on top.

(Jim Cornette is out with Dan Severn)
JC: Sorry gentlemen but I believe I heard that it doesn't matter who the opponent is. If that's the case I'd like to formally challenge for the title on behalf of one of the most decorated grapplers in the world in Dan "The Beast" Severn.
EG: Well Jimmy there's a lot of paperwork that needs to be filed and I don't think that it'll be ready in such a short time. Plus I really want to just save Severn the embarrassment.
JC: Oh really? Put up or shut up. I plan to represent all the gold in this crummy company. That is unless your man has a yellow streak down his back.

IK: How dare you filthy American. Koloff is no coward.
(Koloff lunges towards Cornette and Severn steps in. A staredown ensues as PW USA security comes out to prevent further incident)

4) Nikita Koloff (w/ Eddie Gilbert) defeated The Patriot with a Russian Bearhug in 12:51.
- Koloff showed off his superior power after Gilbert shook the ropes as the masked men went to the top rope. Koloff then whipped him off the ropes and hoisted him up and both arms went limp.

-#1 Tag Contenders Match- -Main Event-
5) Lex Luger & Sting defeated The Body Shop (Paul Orndorff & Jesse Ventura) when Orndorff submitted to Luger's Torture Rack in 13:24.
-Sting and Luger isolated Orndorff for much of the match and used several high impact moves. Sting had the Scorpion Death lock applied but Ventura was able to make the pin save. All four men now in the ring and Luger scooped up Mr. Wonderful on his back and locked in the Torture Rack for the win and the tag team title match at Super Summer Sizzler.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

SUPER SUMMER SIZZLER


-Open Contract Tryout-
1) Adrian Adonis defeated "Rocker" Marty Jannetty with a Goodnight Irene in 6:45.
-A fast paced opener that was a competitive match-up. Jannetty went for a Cross Body off the second rope and missed. Adonis quickly pounced and slapped on his signature Sleeper hold and the bout was over. Adonis is now the latest member of the Pro Wrestling USA roster.

2) The Patriot pinned Ole Anderson with Uncle Slam in 4:33.
-Anderson jawed with the masked man as the ref was going over instructions and when he turned his back he attacked. Unfortunately for the former Horseman that's the only offense he could muster. Patriot made a huge comeback and never let up hit fists, a leg drop and then his Uncle Slam to end the match in decisive fashion.

3) The Body Shop (Paul Orndorff & Jesse Ventura) defeated "Polish Power" Ivan Putski & The Crusher when Putski submitted to Ventura's Body Breaker in 9:01.
-The finish saw Orndorff hit a high knee strike on Putski and go for the pin. Crusher was able to make the save but was held back by the official. Ventura then ran in without a tag and Orndorff helped scoop him up over his should for the Body Breaker. This time Crusher could not help his partner and Putski was forced to submit.

4) Nikita Koloff (w/Eddie Gilbert) defeated Eddie Kingston with the Russian Sickle in 8:26.
-Kingston was a tough match-up for the Russian Nightmare. He had him on the ropes early and got a 2 1/2 count with a Lariat. Koloff rebounded quickly and after a Russian Hammer whipped him off the ropes and just about knocked him senseless with a stiff Sickle for the three.

-Badstreet Street Fight- No DQ-
5) The Eliminators (Perry Saturn & John Kronus) & Tommy Dreamer beat The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts) when Dreamer pinned Hayes with a Dreamer DDT in 12:08.
-This was a wild affair with competitors in and out of the ring. The end saw Hayes attempt to use a foreign object on Dreamer but he swung and missed. Dreamer capitalized and hit a kick to the gut and then dropped the DDT for the win for his team. The action didn't stop there though as Gordy picked up a chair and whacked all of the opponents in the head. Then he and Roberts brought a table in and he executed a Power Bomb on Dreamer through the table. Hayes then grabbed the mic and addressed the booing crowd. "Who looks like the winners now? This is what Badstreet is all about!"

6) "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert beat 2 Cold Scorpio with the Hot Shot and outside interference in 10:32.
-Scorpio was out quickly and almost had the match won a few times. Finally Nikita Koloff came to ringside and distracted him. The official turned and Gilbert grabbed him and pretended he had something in his eye. Koloff smashed Scorpio with his chain and Gilbert the whipped him off the ropes and hit the Hot Shot for the tainted three count.

-PW USA Tag Team Title Match-
7) Lex Luger & Sting defeated The Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane) (c) (w/Jim Cornette) by Disqualification in 14:01.
-The champions retained after Sting had Lane in the Scorpion Deathlock and Eaton made the save with Cornette's racket. This prompted an immediate disqualification.

-PW USA Heavyweight Title Match-
8) Ivan Koloff (c) (w/Eddie Gilbert) beat Dan "The Beast" Severn by Disqualification in 18:21.
-Severn had the champion in trouble and applied the choke sleeper. Koloff was able to the grab the ropes but Severn did not relinquish the hold. Koloff passed out and Gilbert ran into the ring to attempt to get him off. Severn let go and and then hit a Heel Hook on Hot Stuff. Cornette tried to help with the situation but Severn was in the zone. Security and officials were out to help and eventually got Severn to let go. The final scene was an enraged Beast unleashed as his foes lay helpless.
