Heartland Championship Wrestling: Atlantic Wrestling Federation October 10, 2020 (Card #1019) Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina
The show opens with the tune, "O Fortuna" performed live by the Charlotte Philharmonic Orchestra. EPICDAVE enters the ring, decked out in a custom-tailored black Nyoni suit with lavender trim, and a lavender pocket square. The referee holds the ropes for EpicDave, and he waves to the cheering fans.EpicDave: So yeah... who doesn't love a sharp dressed man? But fans- it's Filsinger Cup Tournament season, and we all need to step up our game- in the ring and in our sartorial splendor. It is tremendous to be here in Charlotte with tonight's broadcast from the Atlantic Wrestling Federation! We have four sensational tournament matches set for tonight, plus a championship Main Event as DUSTY RHODES comes to Charlotte to defend the Atlantic Heavyweight Championship against DON MURACO. Summer is winding down but the action is full speed ahead here tonight, fans- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show! STARS & STRIPES (MARCUS ALEXANDER BAGWELL*** & DEL WILKES***) defeated IVAN**** & NIKITA KOLOFF when Wilkes pinned Ivan with the Uncle SlamJUMBO TSURUTA pinned OX BAKER*** with a Jumbo BackdropTHE WILD-EYED SOUTHERN BOYS (TOMMY RICH****** & TRACY SMOTHERS**) defeated WILD BILL****** & FLYING FRED**** CURRY when Smothers pinned Fred after a Jumping Wheel KickEpicDave: A nice win for Tommy and Tracy on the road to a potential title shot. All right, fans- it's time now for tonight Filsinger Cup Tournament matches! As you may recall, MICHAEL 'P.S.' HAYES had a brief run as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion late in 2019. As a result, he is eligible for BOTH the Singles and Tag Team tournaments! So tonight we will see him in singles action- but he has a tough task ahead. FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: BOBO BRAZIL*** pinned MICHAEL 'P.S.' HAYES***** with a Coco ButtEpicDave: Bobo Brazil moves on with a terrific comeback win. Hayes had it going there for a while, but the power of Brazil prevailed. Brazil won the Filsinger Cup back in 2011- and now he is looking to be the first man in history to win the Cup twice! Our next match pits two members of the same stable against one another- and the manager, SO CAL VAL, has been barred from ringside. It's every man for himself- and all's fair in love and the Filsinger Cup! FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: ERNIE 'THE BIG CAT' LADD pinned 'RAVISHING' RICK RUDE**** with the Double Leg DropEpicDave: Ladd just overpowered Rude in that match- and there aren't many guys in this business that can get the best of Rick Rude in a battle of strength. And you wanna talk about battles? Ernie Ladd is moving on to the quarterfinals for a showdown against BOBO BRAZIL! Now, fans- a match from the Filsinger Cup Tag Team Tournament- and the winner moves to the finals! FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: THE STEINER BROTHERS (RICK & SCOTT) defeated THE BRISCOE BROTHERS (MARK******* & JAY****) when Rick pinned Mark after a Steiner DogEpicDave: Wow! I think the Steiner Brothers are invincible. The Briscoes fought like wild maniacs in that match and were unable to sustain any offense at all. The Steiners held the NWA World Tag Team Championship for over a year, and they are now rolling along in their second title reign and looking to bring home their first-ever Filsinger Cup.As the ring was being prepared for the next match, TOMMY RICH returned to ringside and joined EpicDave at the announcer's table.EpicDave: Welcome back, Tommy! Congratulations on your win tonight. But you know- you were not scheduled to be out here tonight. Is there something on your mind? Rich: Yes, sir. I still got a bee in my bonnet about that World Championship match back at the pay-per-view. No disrespect, but I saw RIC FLAIR pulling on the ropes while he had RAY STEVENS in the Figure-4 and made him tap! EpicDave: You mentioned that after the match, but normally we don't do video reviews of referee decisions. As the conversation continued, J.J. DILLON arrived at the table with a scowl. Dillon: Excuse me, gentlemen- but do you mind telling me what is going on here? Rich: I'm sorry, J.J.- this is an issue between EpicDave and me. Dillon: Oh, I think this issue concerns the Four Horsemen and myself as well. Mr. Rich, are you questioning the integrity of Mr. Flair? Rich: You better step off, boy- Without warning, Rich is attacked from behind by RIC FLAIR! Flair blasted Rich on the back of the head with the NWA Title belt, then slammed Tommy face-first onto the announcer's table! Tommy was busted open and Flair prepared for another shot with the belt. But out of nowhere, JOSH 'THE GOODS' WOODS came from behind Flair and grabbed the title belt! Referees dashed to the scene and took control of the situation. Rich was bleeding profusely, and Heartland trainers rushed to the scene with a towel for Tommy's head and hurried him back to the dressing room.Flair: Let that be a lesson to you, punk! You wanna stick your ugly nose into Horseman business? You're gonna pay the price. And we ain't finished with you yet. When it comes to the Horsemen- jumpin' on is a lot easier than jumpin' off! EpicDave: Enough! Mr. Flair- you have a match, and you need to get off the microphone and get into the ring. After that display- I WILL review the video of your title match and there WILL be an announcement about the status of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Now let's get back to wrestling! FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: RIC FLAIR* defeated JOSH 'THE GOODS' WOODS***** via submission with a KneebreakerEpicDave: Wow. Speaking of lessons, the Nature Boy certainly took Josh Woods to school in that match. Flair was methodical and seemed to take pleasure in picking apart Woods. I give Josh Woods all the credit in the world- he took a stand when Flair was assaulting Tommy Rich, and that took guts to stand up to the World Champion. He even caught Flair in the same Triangle Choke that he used to submit Vader, but Flair used his amateur skills to escape and then he just took over. Flair will have another interesting challenge in the quarterfinals against ADAM COLE- but the Nature Boy is still the odds-on favorite to win the Cup in my book. All right, fans- are you ready for the Main Event? MAIN EVENT: ATLANTIC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP DUSTY RHODES** (c) pinned DON MURACO****** after a Bionic ElbowIt was a hard-fought battle in the Main Event as Muraco came gunning for the title. Muraco cracked the skull of the champion on the mat with a falling face slam in the early going, and punished Rhodes with a series of power moves. Dusty made a comeback, much to the delight of the Charlotte crowd, nailing Muraco with a Bionic Elbow. Muraco was dazed, and staggered directly into the path of a second Bionic Elbow which put him down for the three count. DUSTY RHODES RETAINS THE ATLANTIC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP EpicDave: Congratulations to the American Dream! Dusty Rhodes has successfully defended the Atlantic Heavyweight Championship after a very rugged match. Muraco brought his "A" game, but Dusty did what he needed to do to hang on to the title. All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! Heartland will be back in action on Wednesday night with an exciting slate of matches from Pro Wrestling Mid-America. The Filsinger Cup Tournaments will continue with the likes of NICK BOCKWINKEL, RANDY SAVAGE, and THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS, and in the Main Event, the Southland Heavyweight Championship will be on the line when VADER defends against BOBO BRAZIL. That's our show, and I AM OUTTA HERE! Atlantic Heavyweight Champion: DUSTY RHODESAtlantic Tag Team Champions: THE ROAD WARRIORSDixie Heavyweight Champion: RAY 'CRIPPLER' STEVENS

I am always here my friend, even if I don't have as much time to post as I used to I am always reading the feds! The Heartland Ladies really brought it and what a huge win for Angelus Layne over Sherri Martel. That was a shocker. Ernie Ladd is oneof my all-time favorites so I was pumped to see him get the big FG Cup win over Rick Rude. Hoping to see the "Big Cat" go a long way.

As always, thanks to cruefan68 for his loyal fanhood! Heartland Wrestling Association: Pro Wrestling Mid-America October 14, 2020 (Card #1020) Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, Missouri
The show opens with the tune, "O Fortuna" performed by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. EPICDAVE strides to the stage, decked out in a silk Tom Ford suit, as the fans cheer and the ladies whistle.EpicDave: Hey, fans! Welcome to Heartland Championship Wrestling on this fine Wednesday evening in the Gateway City! St. Louis has played host to many historic moments in wrestling history, and tonight we are here to build upon that legacy with the superstars of Pro Wrestling Mid-America. The Filsinger Cup Tournaments are in full swing tonight, and you will see four outstanding bouts. And in the Main Event, it will be a battle of the big men as VADER takes on BOBO BRAZIL for the Southland Heavyweight Championship. There's so much on the line tonight that you won't want to miss, fans- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show! HARLEY RACE pinned JUNKYARD DOG*** with the PiledriverFILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: MICHAEL ELGIN** defeated RAY 'CRIPPLER' STEVENS****** by submission via the CrossfaceEpicDave: So Big Mike makes it to the Quarterfinals of the singles tournament! Stevens is a crafty veteran, but tonight he was no match for the power of the Unbreakable One. THE LONG RIDERS (SCOTT 'HOG' & WILD BILL** IRWIN) defeated THE EAST-WEST CONNECTION (ADRIAN ADONIS & JESSE 'THE BODY' VENTURA***** when Scott pinned Jesse with a SuperplexEpicDave: The Long Riders have definitely been impressive since their arrival here in PWMA. And now, back to the Filsinger Cup Tournament for a very intriguing matchup between the generations. FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: NICK BOCKWINKEL*** defeated BRYAN DANIELSON****** by submission via the Bockwinkel SleeperIt was quite a battle between two technical wizards in the squared circle. Bockwinkel dominated the match for about the first 10 minutes, but Danielson took a ton of punishment and continued to battle. After surviving Bockwinkel's Figure-4, Danielson mounted a rally, but Bockwinkel refused to succumb to the Crossface Chickenwing. Danielson spent all his strength on the comeback, and had nothing left to fight when Bockwinkel locked on the Sleeper for the win. FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: 'MACHO MAN' RANDY SAVAGE**** pinned TONY ATLASA spirited bout between two outstanding athletes. Atlas tried to keep the match at a slow pace and punish Savage with his power, and saw some measure of success until Savage exploded off the apron with a Double Axe Handle onto Atlas at ringside. This gave Savage some momentum, but the battle continued on for nearly 20 minutes before Savage caught Atlas with a neckbreaker clothesline that put the muscle man down. Before Atlas could respond, Savage was airborne, and crashed onto Atlas with the Flying Elbow Smash for the victory. As Savage's hand was raised, TED DIBIASE came to ringside accompanied by LEX LUGER. Savage stared daggers at Luger, but DiBiase offered Savage a handshake. Savage reluctantly accepted the handshake, and DiBiase reached into his jacket for an envelope. Savage opened the envelope, but shook his head and rubbed his fingers and thumb together before walking away.EpicDave: Well... that was quite a match for Savage and Atlas. Congratulations to Savage for moving on! But- is he negotiating with DiBiase? Looks like DiBiase is going to have to dig a little deeper to get the attention of the Macho Man. All right- this next match may not be a wrestling classic- but it's gonna be a donnybrook! FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS (MICHAEL 'P.S.' HAYES**** & TERRY 'BAMM BAMM' GORDY**) defeated DICK THE BRUISER** & THE CRUSHER****** when Gordy pinned Crusher with a PowerbombThe tag match was everything is was cracked up to be! The match opened with Bruiser and Crusher beating the stuffings out of Michael Hayes. It took a few tries for Hayes to escape the ring, but finally he tagged in to Gordy. Gordy laid into Bruiser with two Powerbombs which shook the ring. Crusher hit the ring and duked it out with Gordy. Gordy and Crusher pummeled each other until Hayes cracked Crusher with a foreign object! Crusher staggered into the grasp of Gordy, who delivered a thunderous Powerbomb to end the match. EpicDave: Whoa! That was a brawl for the ages! Hayes and Gordy kicked butt and took names tonight, and Bruiser and Crusher gave as good as they got. It was a cheap shot by Hayes that turned the match, but you won't hear Bruiser and Crusher whining about it. All's fair in the pursuit of the cup! And now, fans- we take you to tonight's Main Event! MAIN EVENT: SOUTHLAND HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP VADER** (c) pinned BOBO BRAZIL* with the Vader BombVader and Brazil slugged it out in an entertaining Main Event. Brazil took the battering from the big Vader forearms and fired back, blasting Vader with a big Coco Butt. Vader was shaken, but battled back. The slugfest continued until Vader slammed into Brazil at the turnbuckle full force. Brazil was shaken, and Vader seized the moment, lifting Brazil for a massive Vader Bomb for the win. VADER RETAINS THE SOUTHLAND HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP EpicDave: Congratulations to Vader for a big win in tonight's Main Event. He faced a tough battle against a dangerous challenger and he came out on top to hold onto his title. Well done and kudos to your Southland Heavyweight Champion! All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! Heartland will be back on Saturday with more great action from Heartland Ladies' Wrestling.

They took out the ref once and just kept brawling. No sooner did the ref come around and down he went again! Poor guy had no choice but to throw that match out. Things in Heartland Ladies' Wrestling definitely get intense sometimes! Earlier this month we saw RHIA O'REILLY and TRISH STRATUS get into it- and Trish demanded a grudge match to seek her revenge! GRUDGE MATCH- NO DISQUALIFICATION: RHIA O'REILLY pinned TRISH STRATUS with the RhiadjustmentThe grudge match was totally one-sided as Rhia laid a beating on Trish. Trish tried to use her speed and athleticism, but Rhia tossed Trish out of the ring and slugged her repeatedly. Before Trish knew what hit her, Rhia picked up Trish and slammed her through a table at ringside! Trish never recovered and Rhia put her away quickly. After the decision, Rhia continued to pound on Trish. Trish did her best to fight back, but Rhia pummeled Trish until SHAZZA MCKENZIE came from the locker room and broke up the beatdown. Trish looked frustrated, but accepted the assistance of Shazza back to the locker room. Velvet: Wow. Trish was really out of her league in that match. I don't remember her being allies with Shazza before, but she definitely needed the help tonight. Okay everybody- it's time for our Filsinger Cup Tournament matches! FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT MATCH: SHAYNA BASZLER & NICOLE SAVOY defeated MADE IN SIN (ALLYSIN KAY* & TAYLOR MADE***) when Shayna tapped out Taylor with a Knee BarBaszler and Savoy weren't totally in sync, but their individual talents were enough to overcome Allysin and Taylor. Both MMA fighters subjected Taylor to painful submission holds before forcing her to tap out. Velvet: It's been a while since Nicole and Shayna tagged up after they were forced to split. They are back together for the tournament, and now they have advanced to next week's finals!

It is great to be here in Chicago for the biggest night of the year in Heartland Championship Wrestling. Tonight, we bring you all four championship matches for the 2020 Filsinger Cup Tournaments! It's the show of the year- and of course, a show of this magnitude requires the best of all possible co-hosts. so put your hands together for my guest tonight, VELVET SKY!The fans cheer as Velvet skips down to ringside, high-fiving the fans along the aisleway. Velvet is sporting a short red cocktail dress, matching the trim on EpicDave's tuxedo. EpicDave holds the ropes for Velvet, who climbs gracefully into the ring and waves to the crowd.Velvet: Heartland- what is up? I am STOKED to be here! EpicDave- do we look hot tonight or what? It is always a fantastic event to be part of the Tournament of Champions!EpicDave: And this year- it's the biggest ever! We had 22 guys competing for the Filsinger Cup- and tonight we are down to the final four. We're gonna jump right into the semifinal action- and by the end of the night, all four Filsinger Cup Championships will be awarded. It's the greatest night on the Heartland calendar, fans- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show! FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT- SEMIFINAL MATCH: BOBO BRAZIL vs. JIMMY 'SUPERFLY' SNUKAThe opening battle was worth the price of admission on its own. Brazil and Snuka battled fiercely, and to the surprise of the fans, the match spilled out of the ring often. Both men battled with chair shots, but the match turned in favor of Brazil when he lifted Snuka into the air and slammed him onto the ring steps! Snuka crashed hard, and was nearly knocked out cold. A couple of Coco Butts from Brazil ended the night for Snuka as Brazil took the pin! WINNER: BOBO BRAZIL Velvet: Wow! That was intense! EpicDave: That match would be a Main Event anywhere on the planet. And with the Filsinger Cup on the line, these guys would go to any length to bring home the victory. Congratulations to BOBO BRAZIL- he is your winner and he is moving on to the championship match in tonight's Main Event! FILSINGER CUP TOURNAMENT- SEMIFINAL MATCH: RIC FLAIR vs. MICHAEL ELGINEverything went according to plan for the Nature Boy in this match. Elgin brought the power, but Flair absorbed the punishment and countered effectively. Flair went to work on the left leg of Elgin and hobbled the big man. Elgin managed to slam Flair into the corner with a Buckle Bomb, stunning Flair, but Flair responded with a thumb to the eye of Elgin and a chop block to the knee. Elgin went down in a heap, and Flair immediately went to the Figure-4 and forced Elgin to tap out. WINNER: RIC FLAIR Velvet: Now we go to school! EpicDave: Just another night at the office for the Nature Boy. He moves on to the finals where he will take on BOBO BRAZIL for the 2020 Filsinger Cup in our Main Event! Next up, fans- we award the first of tonight's champions! FILSINGER CUP LADIES' TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT FINAL: THE MINNESOTA HOME WRECKING CREW (LACEY & RAIN) vs. NICOLE SAVOY & SHAYNA BASZLERThe MMA Squad had a huge advantage in power and athleticism, but the chemistry of Rain and Lacey kept their opponents off-balance throughout the match. The Homewreckers were able to isolate Shayna and punish her with double-teams. Lacey was particularly effective, peppering the midsection of Shayna with repeated kicks, leaving Shayna winded and weakened. Nicole became increasingly frustrated on the ring apron, but was unable to tag in as Shayna got in deeper trouble. Nicole finally charged into the ring and leveled Rain with a running forearm! Rain was stunned, but Lacey quickly hit the ring as the referee sent Nicole back to the apron. Lacey and Rain executed a double-team backbreaker to Nicole, and Lacey made the cover for the three-count! WINNERS: THE MINNESOTA HOME WRECKING CREW As Lacey and Rain celebrated with the Cup, words were exchanged between Shayna and Nicole. Shayna got into the face of Nicole, but Nicole threw up her hands and walked away.EpicDave: Congratulations to the Minnesota Homewrecking Crew! Rain and Lacey have captured the Filsinger Cup Ladies' Tag Team Championship for 2020! What an accomplishment for one of the legendary ladies' tag teams of all time. Velvet: Good job, girls! But did you see Shayna and Nicole? They were SO mad! EpicDave: It's been a rough year for them. After they dominated 2019, they lost the Heartland Ladies' Tag Team Championship early in 2020, and then they were forced to split up. They came back together for the Filsinger Cup tournament and managed to win their first match- but it didn't end well. But tonight- the glory goes to the Homewreckers, and their achievement should be celebrated! Velvet: You got that right. Now let's check out the men's Tag Team Championship match! FILSINGER CUP TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT FINAL: THE STEINER BROTHERS vs. THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS (TERRY GORDY & MICHAEL 'P.S.' HAYES)The Steiners and the Freebirds locked horns in a tremendous battle. The sides exchanged blows for several minutes before Rick found himself in trouble. Rick took a hard Powerbomb from Gordy and a Bulldog from Hayes which took the starch out of him. Scotty tagged in and carried the load for the Steiners for the next few minutes. Scotty planted Hayes with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex for a two count, but Gordy returned to the ring and punished Scotty. Action spilled out of the ring, where both teams were happy to throw down. Hayes pulled a metal chain out of his trunks and busted open Rick on the arena floor! Scotty responded by hammering Hayes with a Steinerline, but when Scotty returned to the ring, Gordy caught Scotty with a Powerslam that shook the ring. Hayes followed up by busting Scotty with the chain, opening a gash over Scotty's right eye. Both Steiners were in trouble, and Gordy caught Rick with a nasty Oriental Spike and pinned Rick for the victory! WINNERS: THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS Velvet: That was nasty! Michael Hayes ripped open both Rick and Scotty! EpicDave: It's the Filsinger Cup Finals! No disqualifications and no holds barred- and you can always count on the Freebirds to do whatever it takes to score the victory. And tonight's win is the biggest of the year for Hayes and Gordy- they are your 2020 Filsinger Cup Tag Team Champions!Velvet: And now it's time for the Ladies' Final! I don't think anybody expected KELLY KLEIN and ANGELUS LAYNE to make it to the championship tonight- but here they are and they both deserve to be here. May the best gal win! FILSINGER CUP LADIES' TOURNAMENT FINAL: KELLY KLEIN vs. ANGELUS LAYNEWith the cup on the line, these two powerhouse ladies slugged it out with abandon. Angelus did a lot of damage, but couldn't get Kelly down. Klein trapped Angelus in a guillotine choke and nearly put her lights out. Angelus fought her way to the ropes, forcing the hold to be broken. But as soon as the wrestlers hooked up again, Kelly went right back to the Guillotine, and this time there was no escape! WINNER: KELLY KLEIN Velvet: She choked her out! How brutal was that! Kelly Klein just won the Ladies' Filsinger Cup! And Angelus might not wake up for a week. EpicDave: Kelly calls that move "The End Of The Match"- and tonight it was exactly that. Kelly held the Mistress of Mayhem Championship for almost a year- but tonight was the biggest victory of her career. Congratulations to Kelly Klein- your 2020 Ladies' Filsinger Cup Champion! And fans- with that- it's time for the Main Event! FILSINGER CUP SINGLES TOURNAMENT FINAL: RIC FLAIR vs. BOBO BRAZILDespite the massive size difference between Brazil and Flair, it was the Nature Boy who was in control of this match from the start. Brazil tried his best to protect his knees, and Flair responded by lighting up Brazil with repeated thunderous chops. Bobo had the fans in his corner as he tried to battle back, but Flair continued to punish Bobo without mercy. Bobo was gassed, and Flair went for a rollup. Using the ropes for leverage, Flair held Brazil's shoulders down for the three count! WINNER: RIC FLAIR EpicDave: Congratulations to the one and only 'NATURE BOY' RIC FLAIR! He is your winner and the 2020 Filsinger Cup Champion! Velvet: He used the ropes! That's not fair! EpicDave: All's fair in the Filsinger Cup, Velvet- and that's why Flair is the Dirtiest Player In The Game. But he is the NWA World Heavyweight Champion for a reason- and that reason is that Flair is a winner. And tonight, for the first time, the Nature Boy will bring home the most prestigious award in the Heartland- the 2020 Filsinger Cup! All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! It's been a tremendous year of wrestling here in the Heartland as we celebrate 14 years of action. And year #15 will begin next Saturday night with action you won't want to miss. That's our show, and I AM OUTTA HERE!

Heartland Wrestling Association: Pro Wrestling Mid-America October 31, 2020 (Card #1023) Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Missouri
EpicDave: Hey, fans! Welcome back to Heartland Championship Wrestling! We are back in action after a fabulous 2020 Tournament of Champions last weekend. What an incredible night of action that was! And tonight- season fifteen begins with action from Pro Wrestling Mid-America. And our Main Event tonight is a rematch from last week's pay-per-view! After an unbelievable match last week, MICHAEL HAYES & TERRY GORDY have earned a shot at the NWA World Tag Team Championship- and that match will happen right here tonight! That's right, fans- THE STEINER BROTHERS are here tonight to defend the belts- and Kansas City may never be the same. Plus, VERNE GAGNE will defend the PWMA Heavyweight Championship against the former champion, NICK BOCKWINKEL. It's gonna be sweeter than Kansas City barbecue here tonight, fans- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show! TERRY FUNK pinned SAM HOUSTON with a matchbookThe opening match was another mysterious moment for Sam Houston. Houston started quickly against Funk, when a mysterious man from ringside appeared in a hooded sweatshirt and grabbed Houston's ankle as Houston bounced off the ropes. Houston stumbled, and Funk quickly folded him up for the pin. After the decision, Houston dashed after his attacker. Funk appeared confused, and left the ring perplexed after getting his hand raised.DICK THE BRUISER & THE CRUSHER** defeated PLAYBOY BUDDY ROSE**** & DOUG SOMERS*** when Crusher pinned Rose wuth a Crusher Bolo TED DIBIASE (w/LEX LUGER) defeated SCOTT HALL***** by submission with the Cobra ClutchAfter the match, Luger taunted Hall and pitched him out of the ring. JIMMY 'SUPERFLY' SNUKA pinned COLONEL DEBEERS****** with the Superfly LeapRICK MARTEL** pinned JIMMY 'JAM' GARVIN**** with the Flying VaultGRUDGE MATCH- NO DISQUALIFICATION: BUZZ SAWYER & MATT BORNE defeated 'ICEMAN' KING PARSONS**** & BRIAN ADIAS when Borne pinned Parsons with a Top Rope Seated SentonThe grudge mantch was little more than a one-sided beatdown of Iceman Parsons. Sawyer started the match for his team, and Parsons came right at him. But Sawyer quickly took control, pitching Parsons out of the ring and choking him down with a steel chain! Sawyer slugged Parsons and busted him open with the chain, then pitched him back into the ring and pummeled Parsons with a series of headbutts. Sawyer grinned, but seemed to get bored with the abuse and tagged in Borne. Sawyer went across the ring to taunt Adias, while Borne beat up Parsons with a few more body slams and put Parsons away with his finisher. After the match, Sawyer and Borne high-fived and walked away, leaving Parsons laying in the ring to be tended by Adias.EpicDave: Just another day at the office for Buzz Sawyer. Beat up a guy, bloody him, and leave him laying like there's nothing to it. One of these days, SOMEBODY will come along and stand up to that bully. But now- let's head to the PWMA Heavyweight Championship match! PWMA Heavyweight Championship: VERNE GAGNE***** pinned NICK BOCKWINKEL** after a Gut Wrench SuplexIt was an epic rematch between Gagne and Bockwinkel! The struggle started even before the opening bell, as the two rivals got into a shoving match during the introductions. As soon as the bell rang, Gagne and Bockwinkel exchanged chops and forearms, before diving into a competitive grappling contest. Gagne prevailed until Bockwinkel pitched the champion out of the ring and smashed Verne against the apron! Verne was hurt, and Bockwinkel went to work with painful suplexes and the abdominal stretch. Bockwinkel went for the Figure-4, but after an intense struggle, Gagne made it to the ropes to force the break. Gagne tried to fight back, knocking Bockwinkel to the canvas with a dropkick and climbing to the top turnbuckle. But as Gagne flew from the top, Bockwinkel pulled the referee into the path of Gagne! Verne crashed into the referee, and both men went down in a heap. The ref stayed down, and Bockwinkel moved in to finish off Gagne. But Verne was able to counterattack and catch Bockwinkel in the Gagne Sleeper! It looked like Bockwinkel was finished, but the referee was out and no one was able to check on the fading challenger! Both men slumped to the mat in exhaustion as the referee finally came around. Gagne was the first to his feet, and was able to lift Bockwinkel, throw him to the canvas, and cover him for the three count! VERNE GAGNE RETAINS THE PWMA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP EpicDave: What a match! Verne prevails after it looked like he was done for. It's back to the end of the line for Bockwinkel- but this rivalry will never end. But now, fans- the much-anticipated Main Event! MAIN EVENT: NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP THE STEINER BROTHERS (RICK*** & SCOTTY**) defeated THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS (MICHAEL HAYES* & TERRY GORDY***) when Rick pinned Hayes after a Steiner DogSurprisingly, the Steiners came into this match as something of an underdog, with Scotty clearly weakened and wounded after last week's encounter. But Scotty was anxious to have his revenge against the Freebirds, and Hayes in particular. The Freebirds were happy to oblige, and Hayes and Gordy spent most of the opening segments roughing up Scotty until Rick finally tagged himself in. Rick battled both challengers until Gordy delivered a massive powerbomb to Rick that shook the ring- and the champion. But the Steiners continued to battle, hitting a couple of impressive double-team moves on Gordy to turn the tide of the match. Gordy made the desperation tag, but the Steiners came up with a double-team Steiner Dog seemingly from out of nowhere to put Hayes down for the three count! THE STEINER BROTHERS RETAIN THE NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP EpicDave: Do you believe it? I thought the Steiners were done- but they found a way to come back and win it! Congratulations to Rick and Scotty for holding on to the NWA World Tag Team Championship! Of course, it also looked like Bockwinkel was going to regain the PWMA Heavyweight Championship, but the veteran champion Verne Gagne also emerged with his title intact. What a dramatic night of action! All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! Heartland will be back on Wednesday night with a full night of matches from Heartland Ladies' Wrestling. The Mistress of Mayhem Championship will be up for grabs in the Main Event when SARAYA KNIGHT takes on TRISH STRATUS. That's our show, and I AM OUTTA HERE! PWMA Heavyweight Champion: VERNE GAGNEPWMA Tag Team Champions: MICHAEL 'P.S.' HAYES & TERRY GORDYSouthland Heavyweight Champion: VADER
