11/18/80 Baltimore, MD - card #42
The Show begins with a replay of the end of last week's show. Then we are live as Gorilla and KC welcome everyone.
Gorilla Typhoon: As we just saw, Lazer took a solid beating last week. He took some injuries and has not been cleared to wrestle. He will be out a few weeks. It could have been worse if not for the arrival of Buzzsaw.
KC: Tell me something Gorilla, what was that nut case even doing there? He's not an RCW wrestler.
Gorilla Typhoon: He was an invited guest of Lazer. He was there to watch Lazer's back and good thing he was. As far as not being an RCW wrestler, he wasn't then but he is now. Yesterday morning he signed a contract with RCW and will make his in ring debut soon. But that comes later. Tonight, we have a USA Championship match. Also, some RCW talent will be trying their hands at this year's must have Christmas gift, the Rubik's Cube. In fact, let's take a look at them getting an early present.
A video of Tennis Pro, Stallions Gone Wild and The Thinker being handed a Rubik's Cube. They then walk off to try and solve the problem.
Shop of Horrors w/Gothica vs American Heroes.
The Shop jumped the Heroes before the match started and won the exchange. Keith Blood was all over Danger Zone. After an unsuccessful pin attempt Blood tagged Slashmaster in. Zone was able to fight back against the big man. Fearing the direction the match was taking, Blood asked for the tag. He stopped Zone from an attempt to tag out. But Zone finally got in some moves and hit Need For Speed. After a close two count Zone tagged out. A short bit later Keith Blood and Warhawk ended up out on the floor. Warhawk got to vicious and ignored the ref leading to a DQ.
Winner: Shop of Horrors via disqualification. (**)
--- commercials including for the RCW Hotline, 1-999-THE-SHOW ---
We see Tennis Pro playing with his Rubik's Cube. He keeps getting more and more frustrated.
Tennis Pro: You cannot be serious!
Gorilla Typhoon: A couple weeks ago, we ran a video that the new wrestler, Iceberg, would be making his debut. Well, by the phone cards and letters we received, many of you noticed he wasn't here last week. Unfortunately, some things came up and he was unable to appear. But we got word that he will make his debut next week. We are sorry for the confusion. We are sure his debut will be something special.
KC: Was he too busy sinking the Titanic or some other ship?
Gorilla Typhoon: Give me a break.
Ace Arcadium vs Johnny Kobra.
Ace put in his quarter and just ran thru Johnny. Ace hit Game Over and got only a two. A couple minutes he hit it again but somehow Johnny kicked out. Ace went for the kill as he performed Cheat Code and got the three.
Winner: Ace Arcadium via pinfall. (*)
Stallion Gone Wild are playing with their Rubik's Cube. They do not seem concerned with trying to solve it. They are just amazed with the beautiful colors.
--- commercials including for the Rubik's Cube available at Toys R Us, Sears and everywhere finer toys are sold ---
Dark Invader vs Arizona Chance for the USA Championship.
Invader used his power advantage to gain early control. Then Arizona battled back. He was like a runaway boulder. He came flying off the turnbuckle and hit Last Crusade. Invader seemed to be hurt as Chance rolled him up and the ref counted three.
Winner: Arizona Chance by pinfall to win the title.
As the new USA champ celebrated EMT came down and checked on Dark Invader.
We see The Thinker take his Rubik's Cube into his locker room. After just a short while he came out beaming a big smile and showing off his Cube that was solved. All sides were the same color. As people came over to check it out and congratulate him a ref goes into the locker room. The ref comes out and he is caring the packaging from another Rubik's Cube and the Cube that was given to The Thinker. The jig was up so The Thinker ran off as everyone booed him.

11/25/80 Roanoke, VA - card #43
As The Show begins Mean Jeans is in back waiting on Dude Brohan to get an interview with him when Lazer walks in.
Mean Jeans: Lazer? What are you doing here? You're not cleared to wrestle yet.
Lazer: That is correct Jeans. But the doctor didn't say anything about me not being cleared to be in the corner for my buddy Buzzsaw's RCW debut match tonight.
With that Lazer walks off and Mean Jeans throws it to Gorilla Typhoon and KC.
Gorilla Typhoon: Welcome to The Show and an early Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Tonight, we have the debut of Iceberg and in our main event, Dude Brohan takes on Skullgore.
KC: Speaking of Thanksgiving, I see you started early Gorilla. Instead of a preshow hotdog you had a preshow turkey.
Gorilla Typhoon: Oh stop it KC. Let's go to the ring for our opening match.
Iceberg vs Tennis Pro w/Valley Girl and Ball Boy.
Tennis Pro came down and got into the ring. Then the regular lights dimmed and blue lights shown on the ring and entrance ramp. Snow started to flow over the stage as the pounding music of the entrance song, Invasion, begins to play. Fans get excited for the entrance of the newest RCW wrestler. The song continues but no one comes out. The song ends then after a few seconds it starts again. Tennis Pro is very lively as he speaks to the ref. The ref puts his hands up and shrugs his shoulders. The ref seems to give in and calls for the bell to begin the match. Then Tennis Pro says something to the ref who reluctantly complies. The ref starts to count to ten. Once he gets to ten with no sign of Iceberg he calls for the bell again. He talks to the ring announcer who announces that Tennis Pro is declared the winner via count out.
Winner: Tennis Pro via count out. (none)
Tennis Pro celebrates with his valet and minion in the ring.
Gorilla Typhoon: I'm not sure what happened. I was told Iceberg arrived at the arena earlier in the day.
KC: It's obvious Typhoon. Iceberg was too scared to face off with Tennis Pro. I bet he was in his locker room and melted at just the thought of it.
Gorilla Typhoon: Oh, give me a break.
--- commercials including for The Osmomd Family Christmas Special and The Bob Hope Christmas Special ---
A video recap of what happened last week with the Rubik's Cubes especially The Thinker caught cheating with a second Cube. He is given another Cube this week and let into a small meeting room which was checked to make sure The Thinker hadn't hidden a new Cube so he couldn't cheat by swapping them again.
Buzzsaw w/Lazer vs Jobber Joe w/T.A. Templeton.
Buzzsaw lived up to his name. He manhandled Joe and beat him in no time after a Gladiator Press Drop.
Winner: Buzzsaw by pinfall. (*)
After the bell Lazer grabs a mic and holds it for Buzzsaw.
Buzzsaw. Red Scare you hurt my friend Lazer. Your reckoning is coming. Our vengeance shall rain down from the heavens. Once Lazer is cleared to wrestle we will have a tag team match with you. Your destiny is sealed and we shall deliver it to you soon.
In back Mean Jeans catches up with Dude Brohan.
Mean Jeans: What are your thoughts on your match with Skullgore tonight?
Dude Brohan: Well bro, that bag of old bones is just a stepping stone on my way to the top. Ya see bro, the Dude is riding a wave straight to the World title. Skullgore is just a speed bump on my journey to facing that chump The Annihilator bro. I'm officially challenging The Annihilator for a title match at Brawl at the Mall bro. Hang ten lil bros.
He flashes a shaka hand sign and walks off.
--- commercials including for Black Friday sales at Sears, Toys R Us and Radio Shack ---
The Thinker comes out of the meeting room and he shows he solved the Rubik's Cube. RCW officials, refs and wrestlers are amazed.
The Thinker: I told you all, no one can out smart me. You peons should have listened to me.
Dude Brohan vs Skullgore w/The Gargoyle.
This was a really good match that went back and forth for several minutes. Then Dude got rolling. He hit Skullgore with a big boot. He did some surfing moves before hitting Big Bro Leg Drop. It looked to be over but The Gargoyle put Skullgore's foot on the bottom rope. As Dude Brohan argued with the ref, claiming he won, The Gargoyle handed Skullgore a small vial. Skullgore drank it and started to pump up when suddenly he grabbed for his throat. Skullgore fell to the mat. Brohan saw that and went to make the cover. Skullgore kicked out at two. After that it was mostly Dude Brohan although Skullgore had his moments. A second Big Bro Leg Drop led to the pin.
Winner: Dude Brohan via pinfall. (****)
RCW World Champion The Annihilator comes out to the stage, the title belt around his belt. He pulls off his sunglasses and stares at Dude Brohan, his left eye a blinking red light. Dude Brohan motions for The Annihilator to join him in the ring but the champ puts his sunglasses back on and returns the way he came in.
Gorilla Typhoon: I'm being told we have some revealing security footage to look at. Let's go to it now.
We see security footage from a camera in the meeting room The Thinker was in. He is caught peeling the colored stickers off the Rubik's Cube and replacing them so it looks like he solved the Cube on his own.
Gorilla Typhoon: Wow, it looks like The Thinker has some explaining to do.

Excellent! 🎸 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Mucho gracias. High praise coming from you sir. One thing has kept from a Crazy Eddie commercial being seen. I was unaware who he was till today lol. But I might try and work him in just for you. Got to keep the viewers happy after all. I must say, having the internet helps make this fed so much more fun. I can google all kinds of things, like what TV Christmas specials actually happened in 1980, to try and keep them as close to accurate time wise as possible. I feel it gives a different vibe than my other feds have and I am enjoying it. Thanks for following. |

12/2/80 Charleston, WV - card #44
We see a replay from last week where The Thinker was caught cheating with the Rubik's Cube. Then we are live in back with Mean Jeans and The Thinker.
Mean Jeans: We just saw the video of you cheating last week The Thinker. What do you have to say about it?
The Thinker: What? That was doctored video. A Hollywood trick. I have many friends in Hollywood and they know how to do that. But that is yesterday's news. It's history. Like Lazer's title reign. You should be focusing on the big, breaking news. I have added another member to my stable, The Think Tank.
Mean Jeans: You are managing someone other than Jet Set Strutter? Who is it?
The Thinker: Just like those ham and eggers out there, you will have to wait to find out who it is.
Gorilla Typhoon: The Thinker has a new man in his stable. I wonder who it could be.
KC: Don't look at me Gorilla. The Thinker wanted to manage me but I'm too busy with my opportunities in Hollywood.
Gorilla Typhoon: Yea, ok. Let's go to the ring for our opening match.
Shop of Horrors w/Gothica vs American Heroes.
A rematch from a couple weeks ago. That match ended in a DQ. Keith Blood was manhandling Danger Zone. He performed Bite of the Vampire and covered for a two. Then Keith tagged the big monster in. Slashmaster brutalized Danger Zone. He tossed Danger Zone to the floor and Zone barely beat the count. A bit later he went for a cover. Warhawk came in and so did Keith Blood. As the ref went to get both men back to their cornere Warhawk dropped a vicious elbow onto Slashmaster and rolled his partner on top of him. The ref counted one before Slashmaster kicked out. Danger Zone crawled to his corner and tagged out. Warhawk took the fight to the large man. He lifted the monster and hit First Blood. He went for the cover and Slashmaster kicked out with power at one to the surprise of everyone. A frustrated Warhawk tossed Slashmaster over the top rope. He then went to the floor and the two men wildly brawled. Warhawk lost his cool, grabbed a chair and blasted Slashmaster with it. The monster was not fazed. As the ref called for the bell Warhawk swung the chair again and Slashmaster punched it.
Winner: Shop of Horrors via disqualification. (**)
As Warhawk and Slashmaster continued to brawl security rushed out. Their tag partners came over and joined security in trying to pull the two men apart.
--- commercials including how Sears has the newest and greatest Christmas lights and artificial trees ---
A promo from Pelvis Pressly.
Pelvis Pressly: Are you kidding me? Arizona Chance is the USA Champion? What a crock of hog slop. I beat that opening act a month ago. I should have got that title match. But I will beat him again and send him off to go back to playing in sandboxes. I will be the next USA champ. I want Arizona at Brawl at the Mall.
Live in the interview area we see Mean Jeans.
Mean Jeans: A big challenge from Pelvis for Brawl at the Mall. Speaking of the Brawl, call our hotline, 1-999-THE-SHOW, for the latest news including the date and place of this super card. But here is a piece of news for all of you. The big 25K Battle Royal will be different than other battle royals. Instead of all the men starting in the ring at the same time we will start with just two men. After two minutes another man will join them. Another man will join every minute after until the 25th man has made his way out. The only way to be eliminated is tossed over the top and both feet hitting the floor. The last man standing in the ring will win the $25,000. The order of the entrants will be determined by a random draw. Now, back to the hot action.
Iceberg vs The Pirahna.
The Pirahna made his entrance then the blue lighting came on. The snow began to fall and Iceberg's intense entrance music played. But just like last week no one came out. The Pirahna gestured for the ref to begin the match. He did and started the ten count. Once again Iceberg was officially counted out.
Winner: The Pirahna by count out. (zero)
--- commercials including a toy sale at Toys R Us ---
Gorilla Typhoon: It's almost main event time. Speaking of main event's, next week The Thrashers will be defending the World Tag Team Championship.
KC: That's right and after they successfully defend their titles they will join me as we hit the hottest night clubs in my hometown, Minneapolis. The ladies will be lining up to get with the three of us.
Jet Set Strutter w/The Thinker vs Ace Arcadium.
Ace was lighting up Jet Set like a video game screen over first couple minutes. The former World Champion seemed to be in trouble. But as he has been known to do, he showed his intestinal fortitude and fought back. It was Jet Set's turn to do the lighting up. He did it to Ace's chest with Chop till you Drop. He then applied the Six-Figure Leg Lock but Ace pulled them toward the ropes and he got the rope break. Jet Set would not be denied as he dragged Ace to the center of the ring and applied his finisher again. Ace tried to survive but gave in and tapped.
Winner: Jet Set Strutter via submission. (**)
Mad Arab came running down to the ring and slid in. He gave a nasty glare Jet Set's way. Jet Set put up his hands and looked terrified, justifiedly so. Then suddenly Mad Arab turned around and attacked Ace. Jet Set started laughing as The Thinker entered the ring and clapped his hands. He instructed Mad Arab to hurt Ace. The ref pleaded for him to stop. Finally The Thinker ordered Mad Arab to get off Ace. The Thinker stood smiling in the middle of the ring with Jet Set on one side of him and Mad Arab on the other.
Gorilla Typhoon: Well, we now know who the newest member of The Think Tank is.
KC: This means a shift in power in RCW. With Mad Arab leveling things before them, Jet Set and The Thinker might be unstoppable.
Gorilla Typhoon: Heaven help us if that is true.

12/9/80 Minneapolis, MN - card #45
As the show starts we see a small set next to the main stage. It resembles a hair salon. There are a pair of barber chairs, a wall with glass window and shelves holding beauty supplies. T.A. Templeton and Jobber Joe walk out and over to the set.
Jobber Joe: Let me introduce you to your newest obsession. This is the very first episode of the newest and greatest wrestling talk show...the Beauty Salon. Mr. Templeton and I shall talk to the biggest names in RCW. For this first episode we have a very, very, VERY special first guest.
He looks over toward T.A. who looks at him.
Both men: Us!
They each sit in one of the barber chairs.
Jobber Joe: Later tonight in the main event we will challenge The Thrashers for the World Tag Team Championship. Tell me Mr. Templeton, why do you think we got this opportunity?
T.A. Templeton: I pretty fool.
Jobber Joe: And why do you think we will win?
T.A. Templeton: I pretty fool.
Jobber Joe: Why do you think we will go on to be the greatest tag team champs of all time?
T.A. Templeton: I pretty fool!
Jobber Joe: Well there you have it. From the man himself. We will win and be World Champions because he is pretty...fool.
Gorilla Typhoon: Well, that was something.
KC: I see an Emmy in their future. You should be on that show Typhoon. You have been to more beauty salons than anyone I know.
Gorilla Typhoon: I go to the neighborhood barber shop thank you very much. Welcome everyone to The Show. We are live in Minneapolis in front of a loud, rowdy crowd.
KC: Of course Typhoon. This is my hometown. They have all come out to see their favorite son return.
He stands up and flexes for the fans. They cheer and a "KC" chant breaks out.
Gorilla Typhoon: You are too much KC. Let's go to the ring.
Iceberg vs Dasher Hatfield w/Sugar Dunkerton.
Dasher and Sugar come out then the blue lights kick on and snow begins to fall. The fans start a hockey like chant of "Iiiiiiiicebeeerg" over and over. His music ends and starts again. Dasher and Sugar are giving the ref the business. He calls for the bell to start the match and begins counting. When he reaches ten he calls for the bell to officially end the match. Dasher and Sugar dance around inside of the ring like they won tag titles.
Winner: Dasher Hatfield by count out. (zero)
--- commercials including for A Charlie Brown Christmas and Christmas Carol ---
In their locker room The Gargoyle and Skullgore are talking.
The Gargoyle: You have been on a roll. You beat Mighty Leo and almost defeated Dude Brohan. We are headed in the right direction. Soon there will be gold around your waist.
Skullgore: Yea. I would have beat Brohan if not <belch> for that potion backfiring. I'm still suffering.
The Gargoyle: Here, try this.
He hands Skullgore a glass of a blue colored liquid. Skullgore drinks it down then gets a weird look on his face. He reaches in his mouth and pulls something out.
Skullgore: What is this? It looks like a tiny white hat.
He-Beast the Barbarian vs The Piranha.
He-Beast gets in the ring and swings his chain around sending The Pirahna and the ref rushing to exit the ring. He was looking to avenge a recent loss to The Piranha. The match went back and forth with both men dominating from stretches. Twice the match went to the floor and each time one of them came close to being disqualified. After several minutes of an intense match The Pirahna started to pull away. He hit an axe handle off the top rope and almost got the pin. He busted He-Beast open and the Barbarian had some blood on his face. The Pirahna applied Outlaw Choke and forced He-Beast to tap.
Winner: The Pirahna via submission. (***)
--- commercials including for Brawl at the Mall ---
The Thinker, Jet Set Strutter and Mad Arab are in the interview area.
Jet Set Strutter: Just look at this collection of talent. We have the greatest and smartest manager in The Thinker. The muscle and unhinged wildness of Mad Arab. Finally the greatest wrestler in the business. Who is that? Whoooooooooooo? Me, Jet Set. The man who has ladies lining up to ride the Bat pole. Ride it all night. Whooooo. Ladies want to get with me. Their men want to be me. Before long, I will be World Champion again. You can that to the bank.
The Thrashers vs T.A. Templeton & Jobber Joe for the RCW World Tag Team Championship.
Dizzy Lixx and T.A. kicked off the match. Dizzy looked scared and fell to his knees. T.A. looked to the fans who cheered him and wanted him to hit Dizzy. But it was all a ruse as Dizzy smashed T.A. with a low blow. He rolled T.A. up and almost got a shockingly quick win. He then followed up with Heavy Metal and did get the fast victory.
Winner: The Thrashers by pinfall to retain. (*)
The All Americans Club are laughing it up in their locker room.
Dasher Hatfield: Man, what a match. I didn't even break a sweat.
Tennis Pro: I hear you. It was the same for me a couple weeks ago.
Sugar Dunkerton: I am so jealous of you guys.
Tennis Pro: Don't be. I talked to Mr. Codger and got you a match with ice cube next week.
Sugar Dunkerton: Sweet.
Dasher Hatfield: Just remember to stretch good before the match. You don't want to pull something.
The men stare at each other then break out in laughter.

Gorilla Typhoon: Oh boy. Let's go to the opening match.
Iceberg vs Sugar Dunkerton w/Dasher Hatfield.
Sugar paced in the ring and looked nervous as Iceberg's music played and fans chanted "Iiiiiicebeeeeerg". Sugar laid down on the mat as the ref called for the bell and started the count.

Winner: Sugar Dunkerton by count out. (none)
Dasher enters the ring to check on his partner. Sugar acts like he's been thru a war. He hobbles around some as fans boo.

Gorilla Typhoon: That's what I'd like to know.
--- commercials including for Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and for How the Grinch Stole Christmas ---

Dude Brohan is doing his surfing possess to the cheers of the fans when The Annihilator attacks him from behind. Fans boo as the World champ beats down on Dude Brohan.
