It shocks me that RVD won. also Gotch lost 4 straight falls? wow.

[tystates]

Gotch has done very little in my fed. He might be .500 for his career or just under. Just his luck for some reason.

RVD wasn't doing much after a few matches for me but then goes on this run to the final of the tournament. In between he goes back to ECW and loses to Chuck Taylor so figure that out if you can lol.

The UWF is so excited to bring this unprecedented event to its legions of fans. The Lethal Lottery will see 128 wrestlers involved in the first round.

The random drawing for teams and matches has been completed. The format of the event is as follows. Following the completion of a tag team match, the winning team will then wrestle each other. Whoever wins that match advances to the next round.

This continues for every match in the first round. Going down the bracket, the wrestler that wins his singles match will then team up with the man who won the singles match immediately after him and wrestle a tag team match against the the next two surviving wrestlers in the bracket.

Once down to the semifinals, those four teams will have their tag team match. The winning tem will see its two wrestlers fight each other. The last two men will compete to see who will emerge the winner of the Lethal Lottery!

UWF LETHAL LOTTERY
The Sportatorium
Dallas, TX
Dec. 6, 2118

FIRST ROUND

Animal & Bruiser Brody def. Chris Hero & Mike DiBiase
Animal def. Bruiser Brody by Countout

Not much trouble in putting away the team of Hero and DiBiase. Animal and Brody then went at each other no holds barred. The brawl ended up with world tag team champion Animal winning over the Carribean hardcore champion Brody by countout.

Buddy Rogers & Bob Armstrong def. Magnum T.A. & Iron Sheik
Buddy Rogers def. Bob Armstrong

T.A. and the Iron Sheik didn't get along at all and Armstrong beat the Sheik with a sleeper. Rogers quickly dispatched Armstrong with the figure four.

Butcher Vachon & Bepo Mongol def. Buddy Rose & Dick Hutton
Butcher Vachon def. Bepo Mongol

Bepo and the Butcher looked good together and the Hangman put away Rose. Butcher and Bepo then went toe to toe non stop trying to kill each other. Bepo dominated but couldn't get the pin. Butcher somehow stayed alive in the tournament winning with a backbreaker (Bepo 3 coins, Vachon 6 coins)

Dustin Lee & Tyler Black def. Jushin Liger & Steve Williams
Tyler Black def. Dustin Lee

Fans were stunned when the three count went down on Dr. Death. Liger and Williams were in complete control when Lee landed a swinging DDT out of nowhere and scored the pinfall (rolled snake eyes). Black and Lee went back and forth for a short time before a turnbuckle powerbomb downed Lee.

Harley Race & Brodie Lee def. Rick Rude & Ted DiBiase
Harley Race def. Brodie Lee

Race and Lee did a good job as a team in this one. They worked over DiBiase with a piledriver and then the big boot for the win. Race then took out Lee with the Piledriver.

Dallas Page & Claudio Castagnoli def. Jim Brunzell & Terrible Turk
Dallas Page def. Claudio Castagnoli

Page made the tag and Castagnoli beat the Turk with an uppercut. Castagnoli seemed in good shape but Page caught him with the Diamond Cutter for the pin before he could go for a scissor kick.

Larry Hennig & Arik Cannon def. Brent Albright & Killer Kowalski by C.O.
Larry Hennig def. Arik Cannon

An all-out fight here and the fans loved it. Both teams were on fire and gave it their all. Cannon suplexed Albright to the floor to win by countout. Hennig then finished off his partner with an elbow drop.

Don Leo Jonathan & Erick Stevens def. Danny Hodge & Billy Gunn
Don Leo Jonathan def. Erick Stevens

The Heenan Family taken out of this one real quick. World Jr. champ Hodge and I-C tag champ Gunn eliminated after Stevens' Doctor Bomb on Gunn. Stevens then wrestled the match of his life against the Intercontinental champion. Jonathan could not get rid of Stevens and very nearly lost the match in the process. Finally Jonathan won the war of attrition (Stevens 6 coins, Jonathan 3 coins)

Angelo Mosca & Mad Dog Vachon def. King Kong Bundy & Delirious by C.O.
Mad Dog Vachon def. Angelo Mosca

Delirious never made a tag to the big man on the apron. Mad Dog and Mosca were all over Delirious, who put up a great fight against the sleeper hold. Mosca tossed him to the floor where Delirious was counted out of the ring. Mad Dog and Mosca then went right at each other in a great battle in and out of the ring. Mosca never got the sleeper applied and Vachon won with a piledriver.

Sabu & Don Muraco def. Alofa & Jim Londos
Don Muraco def. Sabu

Londos knew it wasn't going to work well with Alofa and it came true when the Golden Greek never got in the match. Muraco downed the Samoan and then went at it with Sabu. Muraco and Sabu went toe to toe all over the place. Sabu missed the Triple Jump Moonsault and Muraco won with the Hawaiian Hammer.

Giant Baba & B. Brian Blair def. Ray Stevens & Samu
Giant Baba def. B. Brian Blair

Baba was in the match a long time and in a lot of trouble. He got the tag and a double atomic drop put Stevens down for the count. Blair then held his own and more against Baba very nearly pulling off the huge upset. Blair kicked out of the Neckbreaker Drop once, then some time later Baba landed the move again for the win.

Terry Gordy & Yukon Eric def. Masked Superstar & Nikolai Volkoff
Terry Gordy def. Yukon Eric

A long tag match between four big, tough men. Gordy beat the Masked Superstar with the Oriental Spike. Gordy and Yukon Eric battled it out in a real hard-hitting match. Eric showed his toughness but the series of an Oriental Spike, piledriver and powerbomb was too much and Gordy took the match.

Roy Heffernan & Steve Corino def. Sandman & Ed Lewis
Steve Corino def. Roy Heffernan

A intersting matchup with each team composed of a more old-school type grappler and a hardcore brawler. Sandman and Lewis were in control most of the way but were unable to finish either man off. Heffernan pulled out the win with the toe hold on Lewis. Corino and Heffernan were both in bad shape and very tired but took the fight to each other. Corino came out on top with the Old School Expulsion. (Roy 4 coins, Steve 5 coins)

Crusher & Johnny Kashmere def. Jim Duggan & Les Thatcher
Crusher def. Johnny Kashmere

The WWC North American Tag Team Champions, Jim Duggan and the Crusher, on opposite sides of the ring. An excellent matchup as Duggan and the Crusher had no problems with beating the tar out of each other. The Crusher picked up the win with the Crusher Nelson on Thatcher. The Crusher had to work hard and take some time before finally finishing off Kashmere.

Tiger Mask & Ivan Koloff def. Bobo Brazil & Pepper Gomez
Tiger Mask def. Ivan Koloff

Another real nice tag match as Bobo and Gomez really stayed in control nearly the entire time. Tiger Mask took a lot of punishment and Koloff made one save. The Russian Bear got the tag and landed a top rope knee drop to pin Gomez. Tiger Mask was in bad shape but caught Koloff with a jumping spin kick to score the pinfall.

Antonino Rocca & Rob Van Dam def. George Hackenschmidt & Bobby Eaton
Antonino Rocca def. Rob Van Dam

RVD and Rocca made an unbelievable team, but Hackenschmidt proved to be very tough to eliminate. Hackenschmidt and Eaton were on the defensive most of the encounter and Rocca beat the Russian Lion with his patented backbreaker. RVD then took over against Rocca with a flurry of offense. One trip too many to the top rope cost him. Rocca moved and then won with the Argentinian Backbreaker.


This is only the first half of the opening round. The rest of the first round matches take place at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, TX tonight, with the rest of the tournament taking place the next two days.
