Hi guys. I'm Steve and this is my LOW FED. I play mainly on-line and all of my cards are loosely based on the old WCW morning wrestling shows I loved as a teenager in the early 80's.  Each card will consist of 5 matches, played in the setting of the WCW studio TV shows. There was something different to these matches... no big arenas, no pyros... just good 'ol fashioned wrestling. You could hear the 40 or so audience members cheer, boo and jeer with every move. The promos were classic as well. The intimate feel of thos shows is what I really want to capture. Anyways, here's my FED. Will be updating it as much as my schedule will allow. On to the matches......

As the show begins, Tony Schiavonne introduces Randy "Macho Man" Savage. During the interview, Savage talked about coming to the LWF. "Oh Yeah... the big company up north wanted the Macho Man real bad. Real bad, but this is where I want to be. I am here to make an impact. OH YEAh."

- US Tournaments Match -

Animal vs. Nikolai Volkoff

Nikolai Volkoff defeated Animal with a Russian Bear Hug

Match Notes: This was a see-saw match that could have gone either way. As Animal applied the Camel Clutch to Volkoff, Tom Prichard entered the ringside area and began taunting Animal. Animal broke the hold and began yelling at Prichard. As Animal turned around, Volkoff locked in his Russian Bear Hug and got the surprise win! Prichard ran to the back... seemingly pleased with himself.



- US Tournaments Match -

Terry Gordy defeated BobbyEaton with a Samoan Drop

Match Notes: In the end, neither Jim Cornette's antics or Dennis Condrey's attempted pin save could stop Terry Gordy from pinning Bobby Eaton. A savage Samoan Drop was all that was needed to get the win. After the match, Steve Williams and Terry Gordy cleared the ring as the Midnight Express retreate to the locker room area.


After the match, Tony Sciavonne introduced the Road Warriors. Animal didn't waste any time... " Prichard... you little punk. You cost me a chance at the US Title. That was a mistake. Now YOU will pay. I was just given a match with you next week. Just you, me and a whole lotta pain"
