I need to take a closer look at that card. Most definitely, my friend... It makes it quite tough to take a title away from any wrestler managed by the Weasel. If the Bob Backlund gravy train ever derails, I'm all in on the Bobby Heenan family.

If the Bob Backlund gravy train ever derails, I'm all in on the Bobby Heenan family. In this fed, the Heenan family currently consists of Bockwinkel, the Blond Bombers, Big John Studd and King Kong Bundy... And he's always on the lookout for other big names to join his stable... Fun times!

Good show, I liked you put Fonzie with Piper, lol Actually, the bookers (aka dice) made that happen... Everything was random! The best part was that he wound up being the referee for the match involving RVD, but favored the other side... It was crazy cool! Stoked that you're enjoying the action, my friend... Many thanks for checking it out!

American Showdown Wrestling #8 BRAZIL & THESZ vs. ROGERS & SAVAGE
KEN SHAMROCK def. Keith Steinborn via submission with an ANKLE LOCK. -- Tokens: Steinborn 1 -- Steinborn landed a series of respectable moves in the opening moments, but this only angered Shamrock which resulted in some stiff retaliation.
VAMPIRO def. Mikey Whipwreck via pinfall after a NAIL IN THE COFFIN. -- Tokens: Vampiro 4 - Whipwreck 1 -- Despite a dynamic performance, Whipwreck failed to put Vampiro down when he had the chance. Vampiro rebounded with a high impact combination to bring this contest to abrupt end.
CURT HENNIG def. Sandman via pinfall after a HENNIG PLEX. -- Tokens: Sandman 2 -- This grudge match was in the making since Rob Van Dam & Sandman dropped a technical decision to Curt Hennig & Roddy Piper several cards ago. With perfect precision, Hennig took control and prevented Sandman from turning this contest into a brawl. -- Gordon Solie conducted a post-match interview with Sandman, who clearly wanted a a chance to meet Hennig in an extreme environment. The conversation was interrupted by Hennig, leading to a wild brawl! As security pulled the two men apart, Hennig proclaimed that he could beat Sandman in any kind of contest. Sandman challenged Hennig to a Hardcore Deathmatch and he accepted!
ROAD WARRIORS (Hawk & Animal w/ Paul Ellering) def. Dan Spivey & Stan Hansen to retain the LWGP World Tag Team Championship. Animal pinned Spivey after teaming with Hawk for a double clothesline. -- Tokens: Hawk 2 - Spivey 1, Hansen 1 -- This was a successful version two title defense. -- Gordon Solie conducted a prematch interview with the Road Warriors and their manager, Paul Ellering. The conversation came to a swift halt when Spivey & Hansen jumped the champions, running them into the rails. They crushed Animal with a tandem flapjack and then shouted at the referee to begin the match! <Animal started on Level 3 Defense.> - Bouncing back with authority, the Road Warriors employed an effective divide and conquer strategy against their challengers.
KILLER KOWALSKI (w/ Red Berry) def. Steve Williams via pinfall with a KOWALSKI CLAW. -- Tokens: Kowalski 1 - Williams 2 -- Gordon Solie conducted a prematch interview with Steve Williams. Before he had a chance to speak, Berry caused a distraction that allowed Kowalski to blindside his rival. Kowalski hit a backbreaker on the floor and followed up with a knee drop from the apron before dumping Williams into the ring. <Williams started on Level 3 Defense.> -- Although it was somewhat brief, there was no shortage of brutality in this grudge match. Terry Gordy tried to offer some support to Williams, but he was cut off by Gorilla Monsoon before reaching the ringside area.
BUDDY ROGERS & RANDY SAVAGE def. Bobo Brazil & Lou Thesz via submission when Rogers tapped out Brazil with a FIGURE FOUR GRAPEVINE. -- Tokens: Savage 1 - Brazil 1, Thesz 2 -- Morgan Dollar was the referee for this main event. He was worried about potential interference, so he took action! <All parties must leave the ringside area.> Security was needed to physically remove Sherri Martel, who expressed her disgust with the ruling by spitting at the referee! -- Despite a noble effort, Brazil & Thesz were unable to counter the underhanded tactics of the LWGP World Heavyweight Champion and his partner. Rogers used the ropes to gain some unfair leverage and when Thesz tried to make the save, Savage smashed him with the title belt!

Beware the Claw. Fun main event. Brazil & Thesz make a formidable duo, but they weren't able to overcome their opponents... It's virtually impossible to outwit the Nature Boy & Macho Man... Especially with Sensational Sherri in their corner... Adding some heat to the upcoming title match between Savage and Thesz... OHHH, YEAH!

I think Sherri if you're not (or even if you are) running her with Savage and/or Rose and Summers makes the perfect Buddy Rogers manager.

Honestly, I never thought about having her manage Rogers as well... Her dance card might be a little busy, handling the affairs of the LWGP World Heavyweight Champion... Plus, the Pacific Playboys will be making their first appearance soon and she will be in their corner as well... But, who knows? Maybe she can carve out some time for the Nature Boy. Simply SENSATIONAL!
