Knowing your love of Vampiro, I had to mention it. I wanted Vampiro and Juventud to have a match before they battle the Bulldogs which will be coming soon. I know I'm putting the Powers of Pain on my next show but other than that...we'll have to see what inspires me.

[TTX]

Powers of Pain crushed Texas Thunder (Scott Casey/Johnny Mantell) following the Elevated Clothesline on Casey. This was fairly short as Casey got in one really good move, a piledriver but followed it up with an elbow smash that Warlord turned into a belly to belly suplex. From there, he and Barbarian executed one of their finishers and when Mantell tried to make a save, he ate Barbarian boot instead.

George Tragos bested Tom Prichard with the Armlock and Scissors. This was a close match but Prichard missed with a clothesline allowing Tragos to rebound and eventually clamp on the double wristlock before switching to the Armlock/Scissors combo. Prichard quickly submitted and suffered a minor injury from the hold. (Prichard injured 1 card)

Magnificent Muraco pinned Fit Finaly after a back suplex. This went back and forth and was close for a while but an Asiatic Spike took the wind out of Finlay and a suplex finished him off.

Rob Van Dam pinned Bobby Heenan after a bodyscissors cradle. Heenan kept it competitive but in the end, RVD figured him out and flipped him into a cradle and held him down for the three count.

In a stunning upset Lou Albano knocked off Lou Thesz with the Sicilian Slam. Albano jumped Thesz before the match and dropped him on the floor with a piledriver and then tossed him back into the ring and hit the Slam and used the ropes for leverage. Thesz was so shocked he was unable to kick out in time. (Thesz rolled snake eyes)

The Road Warriors held off Foreign Legion when Hawk pinned Sheik after the Doomsday Device. Sheik and Volkoff actually beat Animal down but Animal grabbed a reversal after avoiding a turnbuckle charge and then tagged in Hawk who finished things off with the Device as Volkoff could not get into the ring fast enough to save.

There will be no end to Albano's gloating... Who's the Greatest Lou? Oh, snap!

[TTX]

Indeed...Going to use the Gordon Solie card for the first time on the next show.

[TTX]

Lou Albano was interviewed by Gordon Solie only for George Tragos to appear and their match quickly started.

George Tragos forced Lou Albano to submit to the Armlock and Scissors. While Tragos dominated, Albano had his moments here. IN the end, Tragos caught him with a lariat off the turnbuckle and then the armlock. Albano quickly submitted. It looked like Tragos was going to attempt to injure him but Albano was rescued by the referee who convinced Tragos to release the hold.

The Spoiler bested D'Lo Brown with a rope-walk smash. Spoiler basically dominated the entire match and eventually caught D'Lo with his big smash and Brown collapsed in a heap allowing Spoiler to take the match.

Fabulous Moolah, Toni Rose and Beverly Shade bested Rockin' Robin, Joyce Grable and Ida Mae Martinez when Moolah small packaged Robin for the win. This was a fun match and nearly ended in a double countout but Moolah's craftiness took the win for her team.

In a match that went back and forth for a long while, Hillbilly Jim finished off Disco Inferno with an elbow drop. Jim dominated early but Inferno went wild and nearly had Jim on several occassions. Finally Jim tried to force him to submit to the bear hug and pin him with a leg drop but it was the blow drop that finally got the pin.

Big Van Vader squashed Jake Milliman in thirty seconds with the Released Power Bomb. Milliman tried a quick dropkick only to be swatted away and then hit by a running avalanche before Vader Power Bombed him down and covered with one hand gaining the academic three count.

King Kong Bundy won a 10 man Battle Royal eliminating Tug Taylor for the victory.

The Conways bested Electric Express when Tiger Sr. pinned Regal after Tiger Jr. dropped an elbow on top of Regal alloing Tiger Sr. scoring the pin. This was a wild back and forth brawl with the Conways nearly taking it early after a Sr. Quadruple Headbutt but Rose eventually getting in and running wild beating down Sr. Eventually Jr. managed to get in and helped turn things around but it looked like Regal might take it with the Ft. Lauderdale Leglock only for Jr. to drop an elbow and drop his father on top for the victory.

Diamond Dallas Page surprised Buddy Rogers with a defensive Diamond Cutter for the three count. As Rogers tried to lift Page up for a piledriver, Page managed to slip out of the maneuver and caught Rogers with the Diamond Cutter. Rogers was too stunned to do anything as Page took a three count with Rogers lifting his shoulder one moment too late.

[Pariah]

Always love it when DDP hits that Diamond Cutter out of nowhere... And Nature Boy feels the BANG!

[TTX]

yeah first Blanchard and now Rogers...no wrestler should feel safe against Page right now.

[Bri]

Wow TTX me bro!

Awesome start here on all levels.

Still shaking my head with Albano defeating Thesz!

Albano's home town must be throwing him a multi float parade!

Sounded like Jake Milliman was pounded into a fine powder in his match against Vader.

Is DDP on the warpath or what?

Dying for some nachos and cheese, gonna have to go to the concession stand.

X marks the spot my brother!

Nacho Berrera knocked off Virgil via countout after piledriving him on the floor. Virgil dominated early but could not hit his finisher and Berrera made a comeback dropping Virgil twice on the floor getting the count out after the piledriver on the floor.

Mr. Hughes thumped Ric McCord with a power bomb. Hughes dominated the whole match and then went into a sequence with a power bomb for a near fall, two Spike Slams and then a final power bomb for the victory.

Ruggedly Handsome bested Bruiser Brody and Hacksaw Jim Duggan by disqualification when they tossed Morgan Dollar aside to keep double teaming Race how had been dominating the match. When Race covered Brody after a piledriver, Duggan dropped his Old Glory KneeDrop and then he and Brody went wild pounding Race. When Dollar tried to break it up, he was tossed outside the ring and called for the bell.

Marty Jannetty easily bested George South wiht a top rope fist drop. This was basically just some exercise for Jannetty as he dominated the match and never lacked control after an opening attempt by South before using the fist drop for the three count.

The British Bulldogs edged Lucha Underground after the Diving Head Butt on Vampiro. The Bulldogs had dominated but could not finish off either. Juventud came battling back and Vampiro hit a power bomb and then a uranage putting Dynamite Kid down for a possible three count only for Captain Lou to ring the bell causing some confusion allowing Dynamite Kid to recover and hit the head butt for the pin while Davey Boy press slammed Juventud to the floor.

Buddy Rogers held off The Crusher with the Figure Four Grapevine. Crusher looked good and nearly had it several times but finally Rogers grabbed control, hit a piledriver and then locked in the Grapevine. Crusher almost made it to the ropes but he could not lift his shoulder or grab the rope in time as the referee counted three.

My Vampire brother gets CHEATED by Captain Lou in what should have been a historic win for LU... FOUL!
