Heatwave was very interesting with Buddy Rose making the 217 lbs mark and winning the Global Cruiserweight Title off of Hodge. Then I really liked that Orndorff wins the Intercontinental strap from the Sheik and what a Cool name in the HILLJACKS and they beatdown Hogan is all good...

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday Aug. 1, 2011 – New Orleans, LA – New Orleans Arena
The show opened with the former World Heavyweight Champion, NICK BOCKWINKEL coming to the ring. He addressed the crowd thanking them for their support and then dropped a bomb. He told the fans in attendance at the New Orleans Arena and the fans watching around the world that he plans on taking a much needed sabbatical from the World Wrestling Alliance. He said that “being the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion in Legendary Wrestling history had taken its toll on (his) body” and now it was “time to rest.” He ended his speech by saying “This is not goodbye. This is only see you around and I promise that the WWA has not seen the last of the ‘Sensational White Phantom.’ And when the time comes I will return.” However BOCKWINKEL would not be allowed to leave graciously. AUSTIN ARIES & “The Untouchable” RODERICK STRONG came to the ring and ARIES told BOCKWINKEL, “You just can’t leave like that. You’re a legend. And I know we’ve had our differences, but damn it, Nick, Roderick and I respect the hell out of you and the World Wrestling Alliance will not be the same. So, we ask, that you give us a chance to shake your hand and show you just how much we respect you.” After they shook his hand, ARIES & STRONG led the audience in giving BOCKWINKEL a standing ovation. ARIES & STRONG even went so far to genuflect in front of the former champion. But then ARIES & STRONG’s true colors were shown when STRONG turned on BOCKWINKEL and nailed him with a “Gibson Driver.” Both ARIES & STRONG were mocking BOCKWINKEL when the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE came to the ring and ran the upstart punks off…
It was announced that the WWA’s next pay per view WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE will take place on August 28 from Houston. The event will feature the World War 3 Match a 40-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royale with the winner receiving a World Championship match in November at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS.
In the first match of the night, THE ENFORCERS (BOB ORTON, SR. & DON LEO JONATHAN) defeated THE VACHONS when JONATHAN pinned BUTCHER following a “Mormon Swing.” After the match THE ENFORCERS put both the Intercontinental Tag Team Champions, THE AMERICAN WOLVES and the WWA Tag Team Champions THE DUDLEY BOYZ on notice, “We’re coming for championship gold…”
In his WWA debut “Ravishing” RICK RUDE defeated RICKY LANDELL by pinfall following a “Rude Awakening.” After getting the win RUDE stood over LANDELL and performed an X crotch-chop…
After the break it was announced that NICK BOCKWINKEL had decided to have one more match on his way out and that later in the night he would team up with the World Heavyweight Champion “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE to take on the team of AUSTIN ARIES & “The Untouchable” RODERICK STRONG…
AC/DC’s “Big Gun” is heard throughout the arena as the WWA’s newest signee is here. “Big Gun” marks the coming of “the Animal.” BATISTA has arrived! BATISTA took the mic and said, “War is hell! And at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE in the World War 3 match I will wage war on the entire World Wrestling Alliance. I don’t care if your PRIME or POWERHOUSE you’re all just stepping stones on my way to the top of the WWA!”
The World Wrestling Alliance Tag Team Champions, THE DUDLEY BOYZ defeated the SAVAGE MAVERICKS (JD MICHAELS & SAVAGE T) in a non-title match. After the match THE DUDLEY BOYZ pulled THE HART FOUNDATION who were doing commentary for the match into the ring, beat them down and eventually put both members through tables…
“Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF defeated LARRY “the Ax” HENNIG with a piledriver to retain the Intercontinental Championship. After the match the former Intercontinental Champion, THE SHEIK came to the ring accompanied by his new apprentice OX BAKER. The two surrounded the ring; however, ORNDORFF was able to escape the ring unscathed…
EDGE and “Flyin’” BRIAN PILLMAN battled to a double disqualification. After the match HULK HOGAN came down to the ring to try to settle things between the two. However, his attempts were met with resistance as EDGE shoved HOGAN and walked out of the ring…
It was announced that New Orleans and the Louisiana Superdome would play host the 2-Day Legendary Wrestling Spectacular, WRESTLEWARS VI. WRESTLEWARS VI will take place April 14 -15, 2012…
In the main event the team of the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE & NICK BOCKWINKEL defeated the team of AUSTIN ARIES & “The Untouchable” RODERICK STRONG when STRONG was put to sleep by the “Bockwinkel Sleeper.” After the match the two rivals, VALENTINE & BOCKWINKEL shook hands and parted ways.
That’s it for “The WWA Prime Re-Wind” for August 1st. I’ll be back in a couple of days with results from the August 5th episode of WWA Powerhouse.
Until then…

A very entertaining WWA Prime, it's cool to see The Enforcers win and I like that pairing of Orton Sr. & DLJ, plus I also like the pairing and name of the Savage Mavericks...
A debut win for Rick Rude is a good thing and Batista arrives, it'll be interesting to see how he does and it's good to see Valentine & Bockwinkel defeat Aries & Strong...

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, August 5, 2011 – Biloxi, MS – Mississippi Coast Coliseum
In the opening match BROCK LESNAR destroyed SAVAGE T. After the match LESNAR announced his entry into the World War 3 Match at the WWA’s next pay-per-view, WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE…
Backstage both THE BRITISH BULLDOGS and THE ROAD WARRIORS were looking for the Powerhouse General Manager “The Mouth of the South” JIMMY HART. They wanted to know who HART would be putting into the World Tag Team Championship Match at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE against the champions, BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO. HART promised both teams that he would make the announcement later in the show…
ED “Strangler” LEWIS and VERNE GAGNE wrestled to a 20 Minute Time Limit Draw…

In a match for the WWA World Honor Crown Championship, “The American Dragon” BRYAN DANIELSON defeated CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI by disqualification when CASTAGNOLI hit DANIELSON with the championship belt. CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI remains the World Honor Crown Champion…
Before Powerhouse went off the air JIMMY HART announced that THE BRITISH BULLDOGS would face BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO for the World Tag Team Championship at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. This announcement was met with some resistance by the former World Tag Team Champions. THE ROAD WARRIORS came down to the ring and made it abundantly clear to the General Manager that they did not appreciate getting passed over. Their manager, “Precious” PAUL ELLERING physically attacked JIMMY HART, but THE LEGION OF DOOM was not done. ANIMAL put HART up onto his shoulders as HAWK climbed to the top rope. But before he could come off with the WARRIOR’S patented Doomsday Device, the World Tag Team Champions, BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO came to the ring and made the save. The two teams fought as Powerhouse went off the air…
That’s it for “The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind” for August 5. I’ll be back in a couple days with results from the August 8th episode of WWA Prime. Including the official contract signing between the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE and the #1 Contender “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM for WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, the WWA debut of THE MAGNIFICENT MURACO and the “No Holds Barred Match” between “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE and DANNY HODGE for the WWA Global Cruiserweight Championship.

Another good WWA Powerhouse, I really love the Tag Team build between the Bulldogs, Windham/Rotundo & LOD for WWC and Race wanting his rematch at WWC vs. Curt Hennig is good stuff too and the Time Limit Draw between Lewis & Gagne must have been a Top Notch Battle...

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, August 8, 2011 – Chicago, IL – Allstate Arena
“Ravishing” RICK RUDE defeated JD MICHAELS following a “Rude Awakening.” During the match “Road Dogg” JESSE JAMES & “Bad Ass” BILLY GUNN were seen sitting at ringside. After the match RUDE pointed at them and performed The X Crotch Block. JAMES & GUNN responded with X Crotch Blocks of their own…
The WWA Global Cruiserweight Champion, “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE and “Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY were backstage with “The WWA Man on the Scene,” SCOOPS CALLAHAN. CALLAHAN asked ROSE about the No Hold Barred Match later in the show. ROSE had this to say: “DICK HUTTON and the WWA Championship Trust never wanted me to become the Cruiserweight Champion. They said I weighed too much. And before you open your mouth, CALLAHAN, I don’t weigh 271 lbs. I’m a slim, trim 217. I proved that. But that wasn’t good enough. Now HUTTON and the Championship Trust have put me in a No Holds Barred Match against the overrated, ex-champion, DANNY HODGE. I know they’re hoping that some of HODGE’S pint-sized peons will see to it that HODGE walks out of Chicago with the belt. But I have back-up in the form of this man, “Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY. And if you don’t know it you’ve been living under a rock but we are THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY. We stand together. We fight together. And if any of HODGE’S little pals hope to get involved they’re going to have to go through this guy. And I don’t envy any of them. I am “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE and I am the WWA Global Cruiserweight Champion. Let’s go.” As ROSE and CONDREY were walking away they ran into LARRY “the Ax” HENNIG. HENNIG stared down THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY a few tense moments passed before HENNIG stepped aside and let the IMM pass. They walked around “the Ax” very carefully and very quickly walked away. HENNIG stared after them with a disgusted smirk on his face…
In the first championship match of the evening THE AMERICAN WOLVES defeated THE HILLJACKS to retain the Intercontinental Tag Team Championships when DAVEY RICHARDS pinned HELLBILLY JIM following a Shooting Star Press…
During “The Hot Seat with Bill Apter” HULK HOGAN announced his entry into the 40-Man World War 3 Match at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. HOGAN went on to invite EDGE and BRIAN PILLMAN to join him next week on PRIME to sit down and talk about the rift that’s been growing between the two over the past few months. When APTER asked HOGAN about the “Higher Power” that had been plaguing him HOGAN only had this to say, “I can tell you this, brother, Whoever the so-called “Higher Power” is, bra, is a coward and I challenge you, dude, to reveal yourself and face the power of Hulkamania, brother!” And then as if on cue the lights in the Allstate Arena went black. When the lights came back up THE HILLJACKS were revealed standing over a prone HOGAN. HELLBILLY JIM took the mic and said, “We failed the Master in the task he gave us to do. We will make it right. He demands the blood of his enemy and the blood he shall have.” At that THE HILLJACKS hog-tied HOGAN and carried him out of the ring and out of the arena and into the dark, windy Chicago night…
In his WWA debut, THE MAGNIFICENT MURACO defeated AL SNOW following a Hawaiian Hammer…
THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS defeated the WWA Tag Team Champions, THE DUDLEY BOYZ in a non-title match by disqualification. The disqualification came when the DUDLEYZ put LANE through a table. After the match, the Tag Team Champs were preparing to put EATON through a table, however, the former champions, THE HART FOUNDATION came down to the ring with steel chairs in hand to make the save…
Before the main event, DANNY HODGE took the mic and said: “BUDDY, I know you think there is some kind of conspiracy at foot here with this No Hold Barred Match, that some of the other real Cruiserweights are going to come down and help me out. But let me assure you of one thing “Playboy” I don’t need help to kick your fat ass.”
In the match, however, “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE defeated DANNY HODGE to retain the WWA Global Cruiserweight Championship when LARRY “the Ax” HENNIG came down to the ring and inexplicably nailed HODGE with “the Ax.” ROSE then covered HODGE to score the pinfall victory…
During the contract signing for their match at WHEN WORLD COLLIDE, the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE and the #1 Contender, “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM exchanged words of mutual respect. However, the admiration celebration was short-lived. As VALENTINE was leaving the ring GRAHAM offered him his hand. After some deliberation VALENTINE accepted the gesture of good sportsmanship. However, that is when “the Reflection of Perfection” struck. He pulled VALENTINE towards him wrapped his arms around his waist and drove the World Heavyweight Champion through the table with a Spinebuster. As WWA Prime was going off the air, “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM stood over his fallen opponent holding the World Heavyweight Championship Belt high over his head.
That’s it for The WWA Prime Re-Wind for August 8th. I’ll be back Saturday with results from the August 12th episode of WWA Powerhouse.
Until then…

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, August 12, 2011 – Minneapolis, MN – Target Center At the top of the show it was announced that, as a result of their pinfall victory last week over WINDHAM & ROTUNDO, THE LOVE BROTHERS would receive a United States Tag Team Championship Match tonight on Powerhouse…
In the opening match, CACTUS JACK, in his WWA debut, defeated BRODIE LEE…
In the ring BILL APTER attempted to interview the World Wrestling Alliance Champion CURT HENNIG on “The Hot Seat.” When APTER led with asking CURT his thoughts about his father’s actions on Prime, the arrogant WWA Champion didn’t feel that APTER was worthy or capable of interviewing him so he kicked him out of the ring and conducted his own interview. The champion had this to say: “You know I’m sick and damn tired of answering questions about has-beens and never-will-be. If it’s not Harley Race it’s Larry Hennig. If it’s not my old man it’s Race. I’m the World Wrestling Alliance Champion. Not Harley Race and sure as hell not my father. Me. Curt Hennig. Now last week Harley Race made the earth-shattering announcement that he would challenge me for my World Wrestling Alliance Championship at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. But what’s funny to me is that the has-been thinks he has a modicum of a chance, of course I doubt he, or any of you, even knows what that means. No… Mr. Harley Race. It’s time for your wake-up call, a reality check. It’s time for you to hang it up old man. Because you have absolutely no chance of beating me. I’m stronger than you. I’m faster than you. Plain and simple I’m better than you.” At that moment, HARLEY RACE made his appearance in Minneapolis as he ran down to the ring and took the champion down. RACE was merciless in his beating of the younger, cocky champion. At one point RACE wrapped HENNIG’S right arm several times around the ring post. With HENNIG’S arm wrapped lifelessly around the pole RACE took a steel chair and hit HENNIG’S arm. The champions held his arm and screamed in pain. RACE then took the mic and said: "How’s that for an old man?" By this point the Powerhouse General Manager “The Mouth of the South” JIMMY HART had led the medics down to the ring. The medics led HENNIG out of the ring with the champ holding his arm the whole time…
The #1 Contenders to the World Tag Team Championship, THE BRITISH BULLDOGS defeated the team of ONE MAN GANG & “The Terrible Turk” YOUSSUF ISHMAELO when DAVEY BOY SMITH pinned ISHMAELO following a Running Powerslam…
After the break the Prime General Manager, JIMMY HART announced that as a result of RACE’S “cowardly attack on mine and your World Wrestling Alliance Champion.” That he (RACE) would face ANDRE THE GIANT in tonight’s main event…
In the rematch from last week’s time limit draw, ED “Strangler” LEWIS defeated VERNE GAGNE handing GAGNE his first WWA loss. The end came when a video played touting the coming of someone who is being referred to as “The Legend of Legends.” GAGNE obviously distracted by the video was wrapped up in a Strangler’s Headlock and had no choice but to tap out. After the match, JIMMY CRIMSON the color commentator for Powerhouse attempted to speak to GAGNE. He had only this to say. “If that’s who I think it is… I can’t believe he’s coming”…
THE LOVE BROTHERS, with an assist from THE ROAD WARRIORS, defeated BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO to become the new United States Tag Team Champions. The end came when THE ROAD WARRIORS came down to the ring. With the referee distracted ANIMAL rammed ROTUNDO’S head into a steel ring post. He then rolled ROTUNDO into the ring and HARTFORD nailed ROTUNDO with a neckbreaker to pick up the pinfall victory and the belts for him and his brother…
In the main event, ANDRE THE GIANT, with an assist from the WWA Champion CURT HENNIG defeated HARLEY RACE. The end came when HENNIG, with his arm in a cast, snuck into the ring and unbeknownst to ANDRE nailed RACE with “the Ax” knocking the former champion out. ANDRE then capitalized on a prone RACE and flattened him with the Big Splash to get the pinfall victory.
That’s it for The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind for August 12th. I’ll be back Tuesday with results from the August 15th episode of WWA Prime.
Until then…

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, August 15, 2011 – Denver, CO – Pepsi Center
At the top of the show the #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM was in the ring. He was bragging about what he did to the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE last week on WWA Prime. “I put the World Lightweight Champion, “The Legendary” Johnny Valentine through a table daddy. Not because I had to or wanted to. No I put Valentine through the table because I could, daddy. Because I am that strong; I am that powerful; and if you look at my body you’ll see that I am the Reflection of Perfection and at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE I’m gonna take that championship belt and wrap it around my pretty little waist and I will indeed be the World Heavyweight Champion.” At that moment the World Heavyweight Champion “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE came out and stood on the entrance ramp. He addressed GRAHAM. “On behalf of all the fans in Denver and all the fans watching at home would you please shut the hell up! Now you walk around like you impress somebody. You talk about how strong you are. But if you look at this,” he held up the championship belt, “It says World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion not World Bulls**t Champion. And that’s all I hear when you open your mouth; bulls**t. You talk about how strong you are. Well how about tonight you put your money where your mouth is. Of course I look at you and see all the sequin and feathers and wonder where your mouth’s been. But, that’s not the point. Tonight, let’s see just how strong you are. Tonight it’s put up or shut up. Tonight, let’s me and you have a good old fashioned arm wrestling contest.” At this challenge, GRAHAM smiled, flexed his muscles and put the mic up to his mouth. “You want to arm wrestle me? The Man of the Hour. The Man with the Power…” VALENTINE: “Shut up. Answer the question. The only thing that anyone wants to hear come out of your mouth is “Yes” or “No.” Which is it “Superstar?” Yes or no?” GRAHAM: Yes. So it’s set for later in the night. VALENTINE versus GRAHAM in an arm wrestling contest…
In his Prime in-ring debut, BATISTA defeated BRODIE LEE following a Batista Bomb…
EDDIE GUERRERO defeated THE SHEIK following a Frog Splash…
A major announcement from the WWA Global Cruiserweight Champion “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE is next…
After the break “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE was in the ring accompanied by “Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY. As promised, ROSE said he had a major announcement regarding the future of THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY and with that he announced its newest member, “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG. On cue HENNIG entered the arena with his hair cut shorter and dyed Platinum Blonde. A new LARRY HENNIG has come to the World Wrestling Alliance. ROSE quickly presented a challenge to a team the Global Cruiserweight Champion picked out especially for the tag team debut of CONDREY & HENNIG.
In their tag team debut THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY defeated THE NAPTOWN DRAGONS when HENNIG pinned SCOTTY VORTEXZ following “the Axe” which, in keeping with HENNIG’S new persona, has been rechristened “The Un-Prettier”…
“Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF defeated AUSTIN ARIES by pinfall following a Piledriver to retain the Intercontinental Championship…
A video touting the return of MISTICO aired…
In a return match for the WWA Tag Team Championships THE HART FOUNDATION defeated THE DUDLEY BOYZ by disqualification when THE DUDLEYZ put JIM “the Anvil” NEIDHART through a table. After the match THE DUDLEY BOYZ were setting up BRET “the Hitman” HART for the same fate that befell “The Anvil.” However, THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (“Sweet” STAN LANE & “Beautiful” BOBBY EATON) made the save by bringing ladders to the ring. BUBBA RAY DUDLEY became incapacitated and THE MIDNIGHTS placed him on a table and set up a ladder nearby. And then one of the most amazing moments on WWA Prime happened when “Beautiful” BOBBY EATON climbed the ladder and came off the top onto a prone BUBBA RAY DUDLEY with an Alabama Jam and both men went crashing through the table. But THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS wasn’t done. BRET HART walked up to “Sweet” STAN LANE presumably to thank him for the assist. But LANE wasn’t there for that, he was there to send a message and send a message he did by nailing BRET “the Hitman” HART with a steel chair. THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS along with their manager, JIM CORNETTE left the ring triumphantly…
It was now time for the Arm Wrestling Challenge between the World Heavyweight Champion “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE and the #1 Contender “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM. The “Superstar” was decked out in his tie-dye and sequins. The World Heavyweight Champion wore dress pants and a wife beater. The first round was easily won by GRAHAM who put VALENTINE’S hand down quickly. GRAHAM strutted around the ring as VALENTINE as rubbed his shoulder and moved his arm up and down. The second round was a little harder fought. This time, however, the World Heavyweight Champion was able to win. GRAHAM after losing the round kicked the bottom rope and slapped the top turnbuckle. VALENTINE was again rubbing his shoulder and working his arm. The third round was at a stand still until VALENTINE reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of, what appeared to be salt, and threw it into the eyes of “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM. As GRAHAM stumbled around the ring holding his eyes, VALENTINE took off the belt of his pants and started hitting his opponent over the back with it. GRAHAM screamed in pain but was able to leave the ring but not before the champions got several good smacks in. As Prime was going off the air GRAHAM was backpedaling up the aisle pointing and threatening the World Heavyweight Champion as VALENTINE stood in the ring daring his new enemy to get back into the ring.
That’s it for “The WWA Prime Re-Wind” for August 15th. I’ll be back tomorrow with results from the August 19th episode of WWA Powerhouse.
Until then…

The action in the last three events were really exciting and I really have enjoyed the International Men of Mystery faction growing. First, Rose retaining the Cruiserweight Strap over Hodge is huge and then add the New look Larry Hennig to the mix, SOLID Stuff! The Hogan / Higher Power storyline with the Hilljacks hog tying him is wild stuff and it'll be interesting to see how it will all unfold with who the Higher Power is, plus the Respect Factor is now gone between Valentine & Graham with Graham taking out the Champ was Cool, but then Johnny with the Salt in the Eye's has evened things a bit, Cool Stuff...

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, August 19, 2011 – Albuquerque, NM – The Pit[/u]
The show opened with the Powerhouse General Manager “The Mouth of the South” JIMMY HART in the ring along with the World Wrestling Alliance Champion, CURT HENNIG., whose right arm was in a cast. HART announced that due to an injury HENNIG suffered last week in a “cowardly and unprovoked attack” by HARLEY RACE, that the WWA Championship match between HENNIG and RACE at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE would be postponed indefinitely. In addition HART announced that HENNIG would receive a paid 30 day vacation in order to heal and to recuperate. HENNIG: “It is with a tear in my eye that I accept Jimmy Hart’s generous offer of a 30 day paid vacation. In order to be the WWA Champion, in order to be the greatest WWA Champion, which is what I intend to be. I need to be 100%. Of course my 100% is everyone else’s 200%. When I return 30 days from now I will be prepared to lead the World Wrestling Alliance and Powerhouse to heights never imagined or ever dreamt of as the World Wrestling Alliance Champion. Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement.” This prompted DICK HUTTON the World Wrestling Alliance Chairman of the Championship Trust, who just happened to be in attendance, to make his way to the ring. HUTTON: “Not so fast, Mr. Hennig. Not so fast, Jimmy. I had a feeling something like this was going to happen so I just decided it would be in the best interest of the WWA if I was in attendance tonight. First things first; Jimmy Hart, I believe it is well within my rights as the Chairman of the Championship Trust to warn you that you are a hair’s breadth away from losing your job. And if you want to remain gainfully employed you’ll straighten out and fly right.” In response HART told HUTTON that he’d made a big signing and that that signing would be revealed tonight. HUTTON: “It better be.” HUTTON then tuned his attention back to CURT HENNIG “Secondly, I’ve read the doctor’s report on your so-called injury and Curt you are not getting a 30 day paid vacation. As a matter of fact you will be defending the World Wrestling Alliance Championship against Harley Race at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE and if you refuse I will personally strip you of the WWA Championship. And finally, not only are you going to defend the title at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, you will be in action tonight. I have set-up a match for tonight with you against Harley Race and Andre the Giant. Now, I’m not hard-hearted so I’m going to let you choose a partner. Any partner. But choose wisely, champ.”
So, it’s set for later in the night CURT HENNIG and a partner of his choice will be in tag team action against HARLEY RACE & ANDRE THE GIANT…
In the first match of the night BROCK LESNAR defeated BRENT ALBRIGHT following an F-5…
Backstage, THE ROAD WARRIORS and their manager, “Precious” PAUL ELLERING were in the office of Powerhouse General Manager, JIMMY HART. They demanded a match against the World Tag Team Champions, BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO for the belts for later in the show. With DICK HUTTON’S threat to his job weighing on his mind HART decided it would be in the best interest of Powerhouse that the match take place. However, HART had a proviso. Should The Road Warriors lose the match they would be “ineligible to challenge for the World Tag Team Championships as long as WINDHAM & ROTUNDO are the champions.” After a few seconds deliberation HAWK, ANIMAL & “Precious” PAUL decided it was an acceptable term. So BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO will defend the World Tag Team Championships against THE ROAD WARRIORS…
In a match for the WWA World Honor Crown Championship, former champion, ED “Strangler” LEWIS defeated CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI to become a three time WWA World Honor Crown Champion…
The match between HARLEY RACE & ANDRE THE GIANT and CURT HENNIG, and the partner of his choice BIG VAN VADER ended in a double countout as RACE and HENNIG battled outside the ring. After the match VADER attacked and laid out the “Eighth Wonder of the World” ANDRE THE GIANT…
In his Powerhouse debut, BUFF BAGWELL defeated “Nature Boy” BUDDY ROGERS when a video aired touting the debut of “The Legend of Legends” LOU THESZ distracted ROGERS. BAGWELL taking advantage of the distraction nailed “Nature Boy” with a Buff Blockbuster to gain the pinfall victory…
LOU THESZ is set to make his WWA Powerhouse debut on September 2nd.
After the match DICK HUTTON was backstage with JIMMY HART. HART was gloating over the signing of LOU THESZ. HUTTON looked at HART and said, “That might have bought you a month. See to it that he’s used right.”
BRUNO SAMMARTINO defeated THE MOUNTIE via submission to retain the United States Heavyweight Championship…
The team of BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO defeated THE ROAD WARRIORS when WINDHAM pinned HAWK following a Bulldog to retain the World Tag Team Championship. As a result THE ROAD WARRIORS cannot challenge for the World Tag Team Championships as long as WINDHAM & ROTUNDO hold the titles.
That’s it for “The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind” for August 19th. I’ll be back tomorrow with results from the August 22nd episode of WWA Prime.
Until then…
Keep it Rollin’ Promoters, -Tony
