Very creative. Do you believe the Injury Table to be a more accurate conversion than the Coming Out of Retirement Table in instances like these? After reviewing both charts, the Coming out of Retirement Chart looks simpler to use for these situations. I'm going to use the "Retired 5-9 years" for the preliminary youngsters. Thanks for suggestion! I'm going to start using this with Episode T5. I'll probably post results from Episode T3 later today! |

Episode T3 - September 22
After Freddie Miller’s familiar intro, Gordon Solie welcomes viewers to this week’s show, and we get down to action…
Rock Riddle vs. Thomas Couch (1) - One half of the World Tag Team Champions took on the popular rookie, Thomas Couch. Riddle went to work early and threw the rulebook out the window, but Couch battled back with a pair of monkey flips and a fantastic power slam. Riddle regained control, delivered a crushing piledriver, and forced the submission with a BOSTON CRAB.
INTERVIEW - Rock Riddle & Bobby Heenan discuss their tag title defense against Mike Graham and Larry Zybszko, tonight at the Omni. Solie encourages fans to get out and watch the matches tonight!
Don Muraco vs. Randy Poffo (3) - Muraco put on a scientific display against the oldest of the Poffo brothers. He trounced young Poffo around the ring with suplexes and dropkicks. Poffo showed a lot of heart, fighting off three pin attempts before Muraco leveled him with the HAWAIIAN HAMMER.
NWA Showcase Match - St. Louis, MO - Harley Race (2) vs. Bobby Shane (1) Highlights of a match from St. Louis, MO, were shown. This was a number one contender’s match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The crowd was on their feet through the highlights, as Race and Shane threw everything they had at each other. Race missed a DIVING HEADBUTT and Shane took control. He caught Race in a rolling cradle that was a 2 ¾ count, and came off the top rope with a big kneedrop. He then locked Race in the JAPANESE SLEEPER to the roar of his hometown crowd! Special referee Lou Thesz checked Race’s arm three times, and declared Shane the winner! ****
INTERVIEW - In the locker room at the Kiel Auditorium, Bobby Shane challenges Jack Brisco to a title match on his next trip to St. Louis, coming up in one month!
Jim Brunzell vs. J.J. Dillon - Two of the top grapplers in Georgia Championship Wrestling squared off in this feature contest. Brunzell wasted no time in taking down Dillon and controlled him on the mat. He would Dillon into the figure four leglock, but Dillon was able to roll to the ropes. He then blasted Dillon with his HIGH FLYING DROPKICK for the victory. Brunzell continues to impress and climbs closer into title contention.
Main Event - Baron Von Raschke (5) & Fritz Von Goering vs. Gerry Brisco (3) & Lani Kealoha - The German team, nicknamed “Blitzkrieg” by some wrestling observers, took on Brisco & Kealoha, in a precursor to tonight’s matchup between the Germans and Muraco/Kealoha. Kealoha started off against the Baron, who grounded the high flying Hawaiian and flattened him with a big elbow drop. He tagged in Von Goering, who crushed Kealoha with his BACKBREAKER, but somehow Kealoha kicked out. Lani was able to tag out to Brisco, who came in “a house of fire”, as described by Gordon Solie. The teams went back and forth with exciting offense before the Baron struck the ringpost on a missed buckle charge and erupted in a bloody mask. Brisco wrapped up Von Raschke in his FIGURE FOUR and Von Raschke quickly submitted. Medical attendants made their way to ringside to help Von Raschke from the ringside area. ****
INTERVIEW - Gordon Solie recaps the great card happening tonight at the Omni:
*World Heavyweight Championship - Jack Brisco vs. Bob Roop
*World Tag Team Championship - Rock Riddle & Bobby Heenan vs. Mike Graham & Larry Zybszko
*Gerry Brisco vs. Nick Bockwinkel
*Don Muraco & Lani Kealoha vs. Baron Von Raschke & Fritz Von Goering - Solie announced that this match could be subject to change, and pondered aloud if the Baron would be able to compete.
*The Destroyer vs. Dennis Condrey
*Frank “The Hammer” Goodish vs. Randy Poffo
*Thomas Couch vs. Mr. X

There's 2 title matches plus Brisco-Bockwinkel at the Omni yet I'm most looking forward to Goodish-Poffo. Got a feeling about those guys. Great stuff! |

Loving this! Such a unique take and enjoyable read. The positioning of talent on the card and the way you've handled "de-powering" the "rookie" talent are great.
Looking forward to reading about the action from the Omni!
Here are my picks:
*World Heavyweight Championship - Jack Brisco vs. Bob Roop
*World Tag Team Championship - Rock Riddle & Bobby Heenan vs. Mike Graham & Larry Zybszko
*Gerry Brisco vs. Nick Bockwinkel
*Don Muraco & Lani Kealoha vs. Baron Von Raschke & Fritz Von Goering - Solie announced that this match could be subject to change, and pondered aloud if the Baron would be able to compete.
*The Destroyer vs. Dennis Condrey
*Frank “The Hammer” Goodish vs. Randy Poffo
*Thomas Couch vs. Mr. X

Is there any particulars to who you use the real name and who you use the wrestling name?
Fun show as always.

Real names or early wrestling names indicate that I've downgraded their stats because they are still in the rookie/early parts of their careers. It's just picking and choosing on my part. They will eventually all become the wrestlers we know and love!  |

Episode T4 - Omni Coliseum, Atlanta, GA - September 22
Freddie Miller welcomes the crowd to the Omni for an exciting night of Georgia Championship Wrestling! And now to the action...
Thomas Couch vs. Mr. X (1) - The popular newcomer Couch took on the crafty veteran Mr. X. X attempted a sneak attack at the bell, but Couch ducked out of the way and we were off to the races! Couch outclassed and outmaneuvered X at every opportunity. He rolled up the masked man in a sunset flip and a small package before pinning him with a crucifix. The fans were very excited to see Couch get his first victory in the area.
Frank “The Hammer” Goodish vs. Randy Poffo - Goodish dominated Poffo from the very beginning, and thrashed him from pillar to post. After a brutal kick to the face, he picked up Poffo and threw him to the arena floor. He rolled out of the ring, pressed Poffo overhead and dumped him on the ringside table. Goodish rolled back into the ring and referee Bobby Simmons had no choice but to count Poffo out of the ring. Poffo needed assistance to return to the dressing room, as Goodish barked (?) and howled in the ring.
The Destroyer vs. Dennis Condrey - Condrey charged the Destroyer at the bell, but the masked man sidestepped him and rolled Condrey up for the quick pin! Condrey was visibly frustrated and slapped the mat in disgust. Perhaps Condrey needs an experienced manager to help focus his skills. (NOTE: This was a one move match!)
Don Muraco & Lani Kealoha vs. Baron Von Raschke & Fritz Von Goering - This match was short, but it was all out action Von Raschke was sporting a large bandage on his forehead, from the gash that occurred earlier in the day on the “Georgia Championship Wrestling” TV show. Kealoha started off the match against Von Goering, and dazzled him with his flying moves. He battered Von Goering with chops to the chest. Muraco was tagged in, and he took Von Goering off his feet with a series of dropkicks. Von Goering was able to tag in Von Raschke, and the Baron hammered Muraco without mercy. Muraco was able to turn the tide on Von Raschke, and looked to have the match in hand when he went to deliver a Russian Leg Sweep. Von Raschke grabbed the top rope and Muraco crashed to the mat. Von Raschke rolled up Muraco and put his feet on the middle rope for leverage, which made Muraco an easy target for a three count. Kealoha and Muraco were stunned and frustrated, as the German duo celebrated.
INTERMISSION - During intermission, ring announcer Freddie Miller encouraged fans to purchase their tickets for the next Omni Coliseum show on Saturday, October 20, when Nick Bockwinkel will challenge for the NWA World Championship against the winner of tonight's main event. “Be there!”
Jerry Brisco (2) vs. Nick Bockwinkel - Bockwinkel accused Brisco as serving as a “hitman” for his brother Jack, who Bockwinkel is scheduled to face for the NWA championship in the near future. Regardless of who wins tonight’s main event, a victory over Jerry Brisco would look impressive on Bockwinkel’s resume. The competitors exchanged holds early in the match, as it appeared Bockwinkel was attempting to wrestle within the confines of the rulebook. Brisco took the match out of the ring, and both wrestlers exchanged clubbing blows. As they went back into the ring, Bockwinkel caught Brisco with a powerful kick to Brisco’s knee. Brisco rolled out again, and as Bockwinkel distracted referee Scrappy McGowan, Bobby Heenan came down to ringside and stomped Brisco’s injured knee! Brisco crawled back into the ring, and Bockwinkel attacked like a shark. He clamped on his version of the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, and after a brief struggle, Brisco had to submit. What kind of alliance is brewing between Bockwinkel and Heenan?
World Tag Team Championship - Rock Riddle (1) & Bobby Heenan vs. Mike Graham & Larry Zybszko (2) - The champions gained an early advantage, with a combination of guile and questionable tactics. The young challengers battled back, with Graham gaining a close pinfall on Riddle with a rolling cradle. Zbyszko came in fired up, sensing a title change was imminent. Riddle was able to tag out to Heenan, who used a body slam and a low blow, to turn the tide. As referee Bobby Simmons was admonishing Heenan for the low kick, Riddle punched Zybszko with what appeared to be brass knuckles. Heenan made the cover and the champions retained their titles. Zybszko was incensed when he regained consciousness.
World Heavyweight Championship - Jack Brisco (1) vs. Bob Roop (2) - Brisco was a NCAA heavyweight champion at Oklahoma State, while Roop was a member of the 1968 Olympic team. Fans were on their feet as the grapplers made their way to the ring. Roop struck first and almost won the championship when he countered an arm drag into a spinning neckbreaker and got the closest 2.99 count you’ll ever see. This lit a fire in Brisco, who battled back with a Thesz Press and Oklahoma Side Roll. Roop kicked out, but has he struggled to get back to his feet, was rolled up with a ROLLING REVERSE CRADLE by the champion. Roop struggled to break free, but Brisco held on tight for the pinfall. Fans celebrated with Brisco as he was presented the “Ten Pounds of Gold” in the center of the ring! ***½

Man, gotta love those 1 move matches lol Poor Condrey (not that I think he'd beat Mr. Beyer!) Nice sneaky victory by the tag champs... if only Riddle wouldve used a roll of quarters it would almost be poetic justice in a weird cosmic way. Main event sounded awesome... where's Orndorff when Roop needs him!
Great read!!!
SIGN PAUL ORNDORFF *sorry*

Fun show. Bockwinkel/Brisco has money written all over it - it should be a great matchup.
The one-move curse strikes! But it sounds like Condrey could come out the other side with some quality mentorship...
Thomas Couch has a nice debut and seems to have the fans' support from the get-go. Fantastic ;-)
Poffo got rag-dolled by Goodish. Not a total shock, but it does make one wonder if Randy won't be looking for payback eventually.

I have met him at the TNTHOF induction, but the opportunity didn't really present itself. Still working on that one. I totally dropped the ball not having Larry Z get popped with a roll of dimes (it was dimes, I remember Bockwinkel saying "a *** damn roll of dimes!) Maybe Riddle will use more treacherous means if there's a title rematch? Thanks for commenting Ken West! |
