Random thoughts from some of the participants:

Buddy Rogers—“For years, history has continued to ignore the accomplishments I made to professional wrestling. Whether it was the NWA who wanted to keep recognizing a guy like Harley Race as their greatest champion or whomever the WWF was foolishing pushing, people have forgotten that me, the original Nature Boy, was the very first person to hold both the NWA and WWF World Titles…when it actually meant something.

So I’m not here for anyone but myself. If the fans cheer me, so be it. If they choose to boo me, then they probably have a reason for it since I will use every single dirty trick I can use in order to keep this LWF Title, a title a feel is the best in wrestling. So whether it’s Race, Bockwinkel, Brazil or anyone else, you know I’m not hard to find. I’ll be that blonde guy, with that big gold title wrapped around his gorgeous waist and strutting around like the proudest peacock in the land!

Hawk—Wellllllll, I think I proved that the Road Warriors are the most dominant force in professional wrestling. It should have been me and Animal fighting over that title. But hey, there is no doubt who will come out on top and win that LWF Tag Titles. I heard Rogers running his mouth about being the first to win both the NWA and WWF World Titles, but who do you think was the first to win the NWA, WWF AND AWA World Titles, all within a ten year period.

So any pretenders to the throne, line up, because the Road Warriors are going to rip your stinking head off!!!! And Rogers, you should pray that me and Animal are the most dominant tag team and are after the LWF Tag Titles because I’d knock your head off and take that title! OHHHHH WHATAAAAA RUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


Harley Race—Once again, Rogers lucks his way in to win the title. But he should remember who the most dominant champion in history was. And like he said, I was champion when champion meant something. So you can bet your bottom dollar that Harley Race will be first in line to sign his name to the dotted line for a rematch for the LWF Title. And there will be no eight time champ Harley Race this time…it’s going to be one time LWF Champion, Handsome Harley Race.


Gorgeous George—For those who have thought of George as a no talent buffoon who only used showmanship to get over, may this be a wake up call. I went through the most powerful wrestler in Animal, the first great champ in Frank Gotch, a former Olympic great in the Iron Sheik…although that filthy Hawk had to cheat in defeating me. So to all who have thought Gorgeous George was all bark and no bite, think again my delicate flowers.

There is the twelve man LWF Tag Title tournament, so granted, some guys you wouldn’t expect to team up are going to join forces in order to gain championship gold because wins and titles are what gets you to the pay window.

Here are some LWF wrestlers to explain why they are teaming up with their respective tag partners


Frank Gotch—Look, in my day, it was every man for himself. So truthfully, I don’t believe in tag wrestling, but if I’m going to have a partner, he’s going to have to be on a scale someone on my level. Granted, that is hard to do, but I went looking at a list of former NWA Champs.

Harley Race? Would like him for a partner, but has a bad ego problem thinking he’s the best champ ever…when the world knows that is me. Baba? Please, a few fluke title wins for political reasons? No thanks, next. Rogers? That egomaniac wouldn’t even tag me in, hogging the glory for himself (but in all honesty, I’d probably do the same to him!).

Then I came to Dick Hutton. An underrated champ that had a very good run with the NWA title. I mean for gosh sakes, look who he defeated for the title! I don’t think we’ll be drinking buddies or anything, but I think we can make some noise in this tourney!

Buddy Rogers—As the LWF Champion, most may think I’m lowering myself competing in the tag tournament. But the way I see it, this is an opportunity to be a double champ, which means more money in my bank account!

But there was one guy who I thought I’d love to manage if I retired and that man is Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka. Granted, I liked him better when he had a bit more of a mean streak, but hanging out with the “Nature Boy” can do that for you!

Ted DiBiase---Ha ha ha! As I have found out, everyone has a price and I want to introduce my newest partner, King Kong Bundy. With my brains and his brawn, we are a sure bet to be LWF Tag Champs. If not, I’m sure the champs can name their price! Hahahahahhaha

Killer Kowalski—I had to look at this roster long and hard and there was one guy who was big, who was tough and who was bad. That man? Ox Baker! With us teaming up, we are no doubt the biggest team in the LWF, even bigger and stronger than the Road Warriors.

LWF's Championship Wrestling Card 1

Keil Auditorium - St. Louis, MO
The promotion is starting out in the Central States/Missouri area. This was the crown jewel of the old NWA, so I'm figuring this is the best place to start. Eventually, the territories will spread out once I start introducing more and more wrestlers.

The LWF Champion will be a traveling champion, going from territory to territory, defending the most prestigious title in professional wrestling.

Sam Muchnick will be the commissioner of the fed until the federations start splitting off.


But now...onto tonights action!

Sam Muchnick comes to the ring, surrounded by security, with four golden belts encased in glass boxes. Muchnick then address the capacity crowd.

Muchnick: Before tonights event, many of you witnessed two of the greatest tournaments in the history of wrestling. There were surprises, great action and the best man, and team won. So, without further adieu, let me introduce "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers and the "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka!

Rogers and Snuka made their way to the ring where Rogers was presented with the LWF Title and one half of the LWF Tag Titles. Snuka was presented his half of the LWF Tag Titles.

Rogers then took the mic

Rogers: For the longest time, people considered me some fluke champion after that big ape Bruno Sammartino beat me in 48 seconds. But I'm not one to complain, but I was going through a serious health issue. But look at me now, the pinnacle of the sport, prime and 100%. So the Nature Boy has an open contract out for anyone who thinks they are actually man enough to pin my shoulders to the mat for to 1-2-3.

Snuka interrupted Rogers

Snuka: Listen brudda, I respect the hell out of you, but I really think you should be a bit more sincere in your win. This is the best talent ever assembled in any federation and everyone is gunning for you and me.

Rogers: Jimmy, I hear what you are saying. But just following my lead and we'll be the greatest tandem in wrestling. With our skills, we'll be wearing these straps for a long time.

Muchnick then interrupted the two.

Muchnick: Guys, as much as I want you to have your moment in the sun, the fans paid to see great action and we're giving it to them. This final belt is the United States Heavyweight Title and it is going to the winner of a Battle Royal tonight.


The twenty six participants made their way to the ring as the battle for the US Title, and the number one contenders spot to the LWF Title, was on!

Order of elimination
1) Destroyer
2) Jimmy Snuka
3) Frank Gotch
4) Greg Valentine

Nick Bockwinkel

LWF card 1
Buddy Rose came out to open the night carry some sort of box and addressed the crowd

Rose: Before anything gets started tonight, and while we have a capacity crowd and millions more watching at home, I figured this was the best time to promote this. Let me introduced to you, the fans, the absolute, best, guaranteed weight loss program on the market today—The Blow Away Diet!

This caused plenty of cat calls and boos from the fans expecting hot action, but was getting some goofy “info-mercial”. Red Bastien then came to the ring.

Bastien: Buddy, I’ve known you for a long time and while I don’t agree with the tactics you employee on occasion, you are a fine competitor. However, this is the LWF, not some other goofy cartoon federation. If you sign up here, it’s to wrestle, but to be Donald Duck.


The crowd showed its approval to Bastien’s comments by giving him a standing ovation. Rose told the crowd to quiet down a bit.

Rose: Red, you are probably right. I’ve seen the talent in this fed and its top notch. So let me apologize to all of the fans out here.

Rose then nailed Bastien with a sucker punch, effectively starting their match.

1) Red Bastien pinned Buddy Rose following the ATOMIC DROP

After the match, Rose threw a handful of his “Blow Away Diet” into Bastien’s eyes before fleeing the ring.

Red Bastien injured 3 cards

The familiar strains of Metalica’s “Enter Sandman” hit the arena, as spotlight found the infamous hardcore icon, The Sandman, walking through the crowd sharing beers with fans on his way. As he hit the ring, he spoke to the crowd.

Sandman: You know, I’ve seen the roster and I feel like a guy with my extreme nature may be out of place with all of the Races, Gotches, Bockwinkels out here.

Ox Baker suddenly interrupted Sandman

Baker: Hey boy, I was extreme before you knew what the hell it was called. Ask those two guys that are buried six feet under who felt the wrath of my heartpunch how hardcore Ox Baker is.

Sandman then told Baker to come to the ring…

2) The Sandman beat Ox Baker by countout after nailing him with his SINGAPORE CANE on the outside of the ring.

Eight time NWA World Champion Harley Race came to the ring

Race: I don’t care what title Buddy Rogers holds, my record of NWA Titles makes me the measuring stick of what a wrestler should be. So Buddy, I want you to be a man tonight, come to the ring, put up a good match, but take your beating, and let a real man put that title around his waist.

Rogers then came out to answer Race’s challenge

Rogers: Harley, for years I’ve been dogged about not being some great champion. Lost in it all, I was the first man ever to hold the NWA and the WWWF Title (Race made it a point to let everyone know that the WWWF title was simply a regional title). So tonight, you have your shot. I’m not one to worry what the fans think, but tonight I guarantee that Harley Race will be beat in the middle of the ring by the “Nature Boy”!

3) Gorgeous George beat Dick Hutton with the SPINNING TOE HOLD

The Million Dollar Corporation (DiBiase, Virgil and Bundy) came to the ring

DiBiase: Before this match I have against Jimmy Snuka, I want him to come to the ring. (Snuka came to the ring to a chorus of cheers). Jimmy, look you are a phenomenal athlete and someone I could use in the Million Dollar Corporation. So what’s your price Jimmy? I mean I know you are from some island out the in the Pacific, and judging from your ring attire, you could use the money. So name your price.

Snuka: Listen bruddah, the Superfly isn’t for sale

DiBiase (getting a chuckle out of Snuka’s response): Okay, how about if I give you a quarter to shine my shoes.

Snuka then decked DiBiase, but Bundy attacked him from behind

4) Jimmy Snuka pinned Ted DiBiase after a leapfrog and chop.

After the match, Snuka gave him a SUPERFLY LEAP on a table outside the ring.

Ted DiBiase out 6 cards.

5) The Destroyer & Giant Baba beat Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff when Volkoff submitted to Destroyer’s FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK

Nikita Breznikov then shouted instructions for Sheik and Volkoff to remove Destroyer’s mask until they were stopped by Baba

Johnny Valentine came out to the ring

Valentine: The promoters came to me saying they wanted me to wrestle exclusively for the LWF. I told them Johnny Valentine is his own man, but then I looked over the roster and saw Bobo Brazil’s name. There was one guy who I always wanted to take it, it was Bobo Brazil. So it’s my life’s mission now…I’m going to take Brazil out.

Bobo Brazil heard this and stormed the ring

6) Bobo Brazil battled Johnny Valentine to a bloody double DQ, battling all over the arena.

7) The Valiant Brothers beat The Road Warriors to earn a LWF Tag Title shot when Jimmy Valiant pinned Animal after hitting him with a foreign object

Animal injured 4 cards

Frank Gotch came out, obviously angry and perturbed.

Gotch: I have to say, that was a crappy way to win a title, in a battle royal. So this is an open challenge to you tonight Nick Bockwinkel. Prove to me that you are a man, put up the US Title in the middle of the ring and prove yourself.

Bockwinkel confidently strolled out to the ring

Bockwinkel: Ah yes, Mr. Gotch. I know all about your reputation as a “shooter”. Tell me Mr. Gotch, explaining to me why you are so “tough”. We all know the story on how you were scared of Hackenschmidt and had to pay off someone to injure him for you to win. Is this true?

Gotch: Always an excuse for Hackenschmidt, using that because a better man beat him. And tonight, I’ll do the same if you accept my challenge.


Bockwinkel: Mr. Gotch, lace your boots up tight because you have your shot.

8) Frank Gotch beat Nick Bockwinkel with the GOTCH TOEHOLD to win the US Title

9) LWF Champ Buddy Rogers beat Harley Race with the FIGURE FOUR GRAPEVINE

An irate Race brutally attacked Rogers after the match, giving him his feared PILEDRIVER on the arena floor.

Buddy Rogers out 9 cards

[executioner]

Great start to your LWF! The "Random Thoughts" and interview segments were very well done. And get well soon Rogers, being the champ can sure hurt.

[Deleted]

Good stuff here, the return of the Blow Away Diet is classic. Gotch is a beast and Rogers Im sure will be looking for some revenge. Look forward to whats next.

[doublea]

Some thoughts after the card
Nick Bockwinkel: I’m officially protesting this match tonight. I “accepted” his challenge, but only to a singles match, not one for the US title. If anyone remembers, Mr. Gotch was eliminated early in the Battle Royal, but yours truly stayed in for the entire time and won the US Title. It was obvious he was well rested while I was tired battling the rest of the field. Mr. Muchnick, I’ll be in your office in the morning.


Bobo Brazil: Well, I knew it was a matter of time before myself and Johnny Valentine battled it out. Johnny is about the toughest guy I’ve faced and this big knot on my forehead shows it. I know I’m not satisfied with our result and I’m sure Johnny isn’t satisfied either. I know him and he only wants to win.

Valiant Brothers: The myth of the Road Warriors is over. We beat them and embarrassed them! We waited years upon years to face them and pounded their clown faces into the mat daddy! Now it’s on to Rogers and Snuka and those LWF Tag Titles.

Buddy Rose: A sneak attack!? How dare anyone accuses me of a sneak attack. During the match I simply asked Bastien I’d like to give him a sample of my Blow Away Diet. It’s not my fault he thought you should put it in your eyes! Maybe I’ll give him another demonstration for the next card!

Coming up on the next card:
Red Bastien has challenged Buddy Rose to a rematch after getting a face full of Rose’s “Blow Away Diet” to the face.

Ted DiBiase has vowed revenge on Jimmy Snuka and the rumor is he’s placing a bounty of the Superfly. Who’ll step up to collect the bounty.

The Road Warrior have already made a challenge to the Valiant Brothers. Will the Valiant Brothers accept or will they cash in on their LWF Tag Shot?

Buddy Rogers was badly injured at the hands of Harley Race with most saying the LWF Champ will be out for a few months. What will happen to his title reign?

Frank Gotch has already stated he’ll put the US Title on the line anytime and refuses to make an excuse like Nick Bockwinkel.

The Iron Sheik is grumbling behind the scenes that the Destroyer is an accomplished amateur star and is out to prove he is actually the greatest amateur wrestler in the LWF.

LWF's Championship Wrestling Card 2

[/shadow]

Kemper Arena - Kansas City, MO

As the program opened, Red Bastien came out to make a challenge

Bastien: I’m a man of few words, but what that fat pig Buddy Rose did to me last fight card was beyond reprehensible. I came to the LWF to test my mettle against the best professional wrestling has to offer and he throws some powder in my face?

Just then, to a chorus of boos and cat calls, Rose waddles his way to the ring.

Rose: Mr. Bastien, you are totally right and I’m to blame. That kind of stuff should be left out of the LWF, a place where only the greatest wrestlers of all time compete for the LWF Title. So Mr. Bastien, please, please accept my heartfelt apology.

Rose then stuck his hand out for Bastien to shake, which Bastien cautiously accepted. Rose, ever the cheap shot artist, tried to kick Bastien with a well placed boot to the gut, but Bastien caught Rose’s foot, spun him around and gave him his patented ATOMIC DROP, sending the portly fellow flying head first out of the ring.

1) Buddy Rose beat Red Bastien with a half Boston Crab

Gorgeous George appeared at ringside; helping Rose win the match and attack Bastien afterwards as he held Bastien while Rose delivered several well planted BOMBS AWAY to Bastien.

Red Bastien out 4

George: Of all of the men on this roster, the only person that I see an ounce of charisma in is this man right here (pointing to Rose). From here on out, I’ll be giving this fine wrestler pointers and who knows, we could even challenge for the LWF Tag Titles.

2) Dick Hutton beat Greg Valentine by DQ when Valentine refused to release his FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK

Killer Kowalski came out and grabbed the mic, to shout…

Kowalski: Everyone is worried about being a “good guy” or a “bad guy”, but don’t realize that I’m a killer who doesn’t care about titles. So label me what you will because…

…just then, the familiar tune of the classic “Enter Sandman” began to blare through the audio of the arena. The Sandman stood among the throngs of fans, as they sang along the lyrics and hoisted a beer with Sandman.

Kowalski wasted no time as he made his way up the arena where he was greeted with a vicious Singapore Cane to the head.

3) The Sandman battled Killer Kowalski to a double counted as the two brawled all over the building.

4) Giant Baba pinned Nikolai Volkoff with a roll up

Ted DiBiase came out and put a bounty out on Jimmy Snuka

DiBiase: Everyman has a price and they will get that if they take out that illiterate caveman Jimmy Snuka. He did nothing but try and end my career by putting me through a table.


King Kong Bundy interrupted DiBiase.

Bundy: Ted I’m the man for the job. I can crush Snuka with my Avalanche as quickly as you can count to five.

5) King Kong Bundy pinned Jimmy Snuka after the AVALANCHE

Bundy tried to give Snuka another AVALANCHE, but Snuka, while injured quickly slipped under the ropes as ringside attendants checked out the marvelous high flying star

Nikita Breznikov and Iron Sheik came to the ring as Sheik began his incoherent ramble

Iron Sheik: Iron Sheik, I have real credentials.. Sheik is number one wrestler from Iran who mop up all Olympic competition. I hear this silly mask man, who is he called, Destroyer, think he some kind of amateur star. Sheik is only amateur star here mask man. Sheik number one, Iran number one, Destroyer….phew!

6) Iron Sheik beat The Destroyer with the CAMEL CLUTCH

Sheik refused to release the hold as Breznikov got in a few kicks of his own. The two tried to take off Destroyer’s mask, but Baba stopped the duo.

The Destroyer out 5 cards

Johnny Valentine confidently strutted out to the ring

Johnny Valentine: Okay Bobo. Time to find out who the better man is. No double DQ, this is the best man wins. Lets go.

7) Bobo Brazil pinned Johnny Valentine following the COCO BUTT

An irate Valentine looked stunned for several moments after the match then rolled out of the ring. After standing the for a few seconds, he went beserk, throwing ringside stairs and grabbing the timekeeper and throwing him to the floor. LWF officials quickly ran out and grabbed Valentine as Muchnick came to the ringside area

Muchnick: Johnny Valentine, you lay a hand on one more LWF official and you are suspended. I know you want another shot at Brazil and he was simply the better man tonight. But you’ll get another shot eventually. Don’t dare take another at another official. You have an issue, take it up with me.

Valentine backed off and walked slowly towards Muchnick. He looked at him and sneered and went to the locker room.

8) US Champ Frank Gotch beat Nick Bockwinkel with the GOTCH TOEHOLD

An irate Bockwinkel grabbed the mic from the ringside announcer

Bockwinkel: Everyone can have a night where they get a lucky break and defeat the best champ the sport has seen. But Mr. Gotch, can you defeat me twice? I highly doubt so because I have something you lack Mr. Gotch – intelligence. Will you accept my challenge to meet me in a best of three falls match?

9) In a Texas Death Match, The Valiants beat The Road Warriors when Johnny Valiant pinned Animal after a SPINNING NECKBREAKER.

An extremely confident, while some will call cocky, Valiant Brothers team bragged about their impressive win.

Jimmy Valiant: The myth of the Road Warriors ended tonight baby. Brother, it’s just a matter of time before those LWF Tag Titles are around our sexy waists daddy!

Animal injured 6 cards

An obviously hurt Animal was helped up by Hawk and the two glanced some very nasty looks towards the Valiants.

Sigh, poor ol' Buddy. He won't like the results coming up on Card 3 and he'll take some matters into his own hands down the road.

[jasonjaconetti]

Great start, lots of good action and storylines taking shape.

[doublea]

Some thoughts after the card.

Road Warrior Animal: You know, I’m humbled a bit. We should be fighting for the LWF Tag Titles and yet we’ve let those punk Valiants get under our skin. But that ends now (Animal flips over a table and smashes a chair against the wall). There is one thing you don’t want and that is to get a Road Warrior angry. The only thing worse than that is to get TWO Road Warriors angry (he slaps Hawk on the chest). You’ve did this punks and we’re going to bury you.

Frank Gotch: What’s it matter best of three falls? Do I look like someone who’ll back down from any challenge Bockwinkel? I’ve already beaten you soundly twice. The third and fourth time is simply the icing on the cake. Then it’s on to whoever holds that LWF Title. That’s what I have my eye on.

Iron Shiek: Who is this masked man think he is? He thinks he has amateur credentions like Shiek? Pah-petewy. I break back of masked man. Sheik number one. Iran number one.


Coming up on the next card.
Sam Muchnick has announced the LWF Title is stripped from Buddy Rogers due to his injury and there will be an eight man tournament scheduled for the next card.

US Champion Frank Gotch has accepted Nick Bockwinkel’s challenge to a best of three falls match.

All this plus much more!

LWF' CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING CARD 3

Topeka Municiple Auditorium
Topeka, KS

Sam Muchnick came out to address the crowd and updating them on the LWF Title situation.

Muchnick: Two cards ago, Harley Race injured Buddy Rogers in a match for the LWF Title. It is our desire for the fans to see a title match on each card, but after conferring with doctors, Rogers will be out for more than thirty days and we will strip him of the LWF Title, a move I hate doing. But for the good of the fans, and the federation, we feel this is the best all around moves. So tonight, I’ve scheduled an eight man min tourney to determine the LWF Champ.”

Harley Race came strolling out.

Race: Since I’m the one who took out the “champ”, why not just hand me the title? I’m obvious deserving of it due to my top notch credentials.

Muchnick: Well Harley, due to your actions, you won’t even be in this tournament.

Race was livid and vowed to win the title anyways, anyhow, anywhere

1) In a LWF Title Tournament Match, Dick Hutton pinned Johnny Valentine with the Oklahoma Sideroll.
2) In a LWF Title Tournament Match, Jimmy Snuka beat Killer Kowalski by DQ
3) In a LWF Title Tournament Match, Gorgeous George pinned Bobo Brazil with a small package with tights
4) In a LWF Title Tournament Match, Iron Sheik beat Giant Baba by DQ

Greg Valentine came out and made a challenge to Race

Greg Valentine: For years Harley you were nothing more than the NWA Title wh**e thinking you could carry the entire NWA on your back. That’s why I left for the WWF because I knew with you in the promoter’s ears, and the NWA office in your backyard, “The Hammer” was getting the old royal screw treatment. But this is a long time coming, so get your a** out here because I years of pent up frustration at you I’m ready to get out.

5) Harley Race pinned Greg Valentine following a swinging neckbreaker

Race: Boy, the next time you think you are man enough to make a challenge like that to me, make me break a sweat. But I’m going to make sure you won’t have another time to challenge me because you are going to end up next to Rogers.

Race attempted a PILEDRIVER on the floor on Valentine, but LWF officials quickly stopped him.

6) In a Texas Death Match, Ox Baker pinned The Sandman after the HEART PUNCH
The Sandman out 2 cards from the HEARTPUNCH

7) In a LWF Title Tournament Semifinal Match, Gorgeous George beat Dick Hutton with the SPINNING TOE HOLD
8) In a LWF Title Tournament Semifinal Match, Jimmy Snuka pinned Iron Sheik following a backbreaker

The Road Warriors came out demanding a match against the Valiants, but Ted DiBiase came out.

DiBiase: Hahaha! Well my fine face painted friends, I’ve spoke to the Valiants in the back and they let me know they aren’t risking a future title shot against two madmen like you. But, the Million Dollar Corporation is always looking for ways to move up the corporate ladder and King Kong Bundy and Virgil have informed me they would want nothing more to wipe the ring with you two gorillas.

9) The Road Warriors beat King Kong Bundy & Virgil when Hawk pinned Virgil after a vertical suplex

10) In a best of three falls match, US Champ Frank Gotch whipped Nick Bockwinkel two falls to zero.

11) Gorgeous George beat Jimmy Snuka with the SPINNING TOE HOLD to win the vacant LWF Title.

George addressed the crowd,

George: Haha! Finally, a champion to look up to and respect. I’m going to bring honor and glory to this title like only the Gorgeous one can. I may start off by painting it pink, just so it’ll look that much better around my waist. So all of my fans, bow to me when you now see me – the new, and improved, LWF Champion!
