 Around the TerritoriesHigh drama at the tournament finals in Atlantic Championship Wrestling where the promotions attempt to crown the first Atlantic Heavyweight champion almost ended in a double count out- with both Ric Flair and Jack Brisco brawling on the outside as the referee had no choice but to call the match. Owner Jim Crockett was quick to come out and restart the match- ensuring a champion was crowned. What resulted was an all time classic, with a bloody Flair claiming the gold. Meanwhile the emergence of the Four Horseman has made Dusty Rhode's life in the ACW very difficult. A tag match against the Wrecking Crew left him bloodied, and a post match brawl between himself and the Horseman may have sent Dusty to the hospital if not for a save from makeshift tag partner TA Magnum.Memphis Pro WrestlingMemphis Wrestling also crowned a new champion as Jackie Fargo defeated Tommy Rich for the Tennessee Heavyweight belt, despite Jimmy Hart's best efforts to interfere. After the matcb, a returning Jerry Lawler came out and started brawling with Rich, still looking for payback from Rich cheating him out of his shot at the World Title tournament. Meanwhile all signs seemed to point towards Austin Idol getting the first shot at Fargo's new championship. Mid South Championship WrestlingA blood feud between JYD and Ted DiBiase culminated in a chain match that saw both men beat the hell out of each other, with DiBiase eventually coming out on top using the chain itself. Afterward, Dibiase continued his attack on JYD until Dr Death Steve Williams rushed out to make the save. Elsewhere on the card, the Midnight Express followed up their debut win with Jim Cornette pleading to owner Bill Watts to give his clients a shot at the vacant tag team belts. Northeast Wrestling FederationWith rumors swirling that the Northeast might be seeing roster changes, their were several big names missing from shows this month. Both Randy Savage and Bob Backland seem set up to be in the rumored Northeast title picture, but sources inside the promotion continue to think more clarity will present itself in the coming weeks. Texas Outlaw Pro WrestlingThis Funks vs Von Erich's grudge feels like its just getting started. After costing Kerry his shot at the world title, Terry Funk absolutely dominated their Texas Deathmatch. Afterwards, with owner Fritz Von Erich tending to his son, Dory Funk Jr who entered the ring through the crowd and nailed Fritz with a lead pipe, busting the legend open. Meanwhile, the Mulligans and the Freebirds continue their fued with Terry Gordy scoring a huge win over Barry Windham. West Coast Pro WrestlingThe story here has been Pat Patterson and Ray Stevens turning on former friends and partners Pepper Gomez and Rocky Johnson, with expectations that a big tag match could be on the horizon for next month. Elsewhere, Freddie Blassie vs Roddy Piper was strongly hinted at for next month’s show, presumably to crown some version of the West Coast Championship. Japan Wrestling FederationAnd finally, with rumors swirling that the NPWA is headed overseas to Japan next month, the main event of JWF's Korakuen Hall show saw Antonio Inoki face off against Rikidozen with the winner expected to get the next world title shot. Inoki dominated most of the match, submitting Rikidozen with an Octopus Hold.

  Midwest Wrestling Presents: SUPERCARD BASH
Kiel Auditorium in St Louis, MOThis one never really got started, with the match spilling out of the ring early and Zbyszko and Baron Von Rachke immediately grabbing chairs and nailing Slaughter and Kernodle. Looked like that may have been the plan all along, with the heels laughing all the way to the locker room after the bell sounded. Cobra Corps (0,0) defeats Zbyszko & Raschke (0,0) via DQ in 6 min
DUDDick the Bruiser vs Stan HansenA good ol fashion slugfest with both men standing in the middle of the ring throwing haymakers. Bruiser almost got himself DQed with a chair shot, but the ref missed it while he exited the ring to get everyone back inside. Hansen kicked out of two knee drops before the third one proved too much. Dick the Bruiser (1) defeats Stan Hansen (5) via TOP ROPE KNEE DROP in 22 min
★★★The Hennigs vs The Road WarriorsThe Hennigs took early control but couldn't sustain it, and once the Road Warriors started gaining momentum there was nothing that was going to stop that train. After the match both teams started shoving each other and had to be separated by security. Animal (2,0) defeats Curt Hennig (1,2) via POWERSLAM in 18 min
★Cage Match: The Crusher vs The SheikA decidedly one sided whooping as Crusher dominated the Sheik- throwing him into the cage and busting him open to the roar of the crowd. At one point The Sheik even tried to re-injure Crusher with a fireball, but Crusher saw it and avoided. Maybe not the best match of the night but certainly the one the crowd got up for the most. The Crusher (0) defeats The Sheik (3) via CRUSHER BOLO in 12 min
★MAIN EVENT NPWA World Heavyweight Championship: Verne Gagne (c) vs Nick Bockwinkel w/Bobby HeenanIn a match that left the audience shocked, Nick Bockwinkel became the new world champion but submitting Verne Gagne. Verne never really got off on the right foot from the beginning, and Bobby Heenan made sure he never recovered, even using a presumed new alliance with a Larry Zbyszko run in to prevent the champion from gaining any momentum. In the end, Bockwinkel was able to sink a figure four leglock deep in the middle of the ring, with Gagne having no choice but to submit or risk having his leg broken. Nick Bockwinkel (2) defeats Verne Gagne (5) via FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK in 28 min to become THE NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

★★Jimmy Valiant vs Brickhouse BrownThis was a show stealing war, with Valiant looking strong early before Brickhouse came roaring back, hitting 3 Flying Body Presses that the Boogey Woogey Man refused to stay down for.

After the match, as Lawler and Fargo celebrated, Jimmy Hart nailed both men witb his cane. As Austin Idol put the boots to the Tennessee champ, Tommy Rich produced a belt and began whipping Jerry Lawler with it continously until The RnR Express and Bill Dundee came out to make the save as the show went off the air...**JACKIE FARGO (0) and Jerry Lawler (0) defeats TOMMY RICH (1) and Austin Idol (0) via roaring forearm in 14 min**

Idol appears with Jimmy Hart, announcing that he has hired Hart to get him to the next level and bring the Tennessee Heavyweight Championship to its rightful home. He calls Fargo a bum and a paper champion, and next week he’s going to show everyone in that arena what a true wrestler looks like.

 Memphis Wrestling Presents: Card #4
The Mid South Coliseum in Memphis Tennessee After running down the matches to a sold out crowd, the date is announced as set for later this month- World Champion Nick Bockwinkel will face Anotion Inoki in Japan, with closed circuit tickets available starting tomorrow.Koko Ware vs Precious Paul ElleringThis is starting to get a little ridiculous. Ellering was aggressive early, almost ending the match in the first 2 minutes with a neckbreaker, before Koko mounted a comeback and almost claimed victory with a top rope splash. "Precious Paul", sensing that the match was getting away from him, again went for a chair- nailing Koko Ware and laughing as the building again rained down boos. Koko Ware (2) defeats Paul Ellering (1) via DQ in 12 min

Randy Rose (4) defeats Dutch Mantell (1) in 14 min
★★★Tennessee Tag Team Championship: Rock N Roll Express vs The Fabulous OnesA hard fought match from both sides- with The Fabs working to isolate Robert Gibson from his corner- a strategy that almost worked until a big hot tag saw Ricky Morton clear the ring, setting up back to back double dropkicks on Stan Lane that proved enough to give the RnR Express the Tag Team belts.

Gibson (3) Keirn (0)

Tommy Rich (5) defeats Jerry Lawler (3) via THESZ PRESS in 32 min
★★★★MAIN EVENT Tennessee Heavyweight Championship: Jackie Fargo (c) vs Austin Idol /w Jimmy HartThis was absolutely unexpected.

In a night filled with upsets, this one stood out as a shell shocked crowd silently exited the arena as Jimmy Hart and Austin Idol celebrated in the ring.
