WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, August 22, 2011 – Dallas, TX – American Airlines Center
The opening match of the night was a preview of the “World War 3 40-Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal Match” at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. The Powerhouse team of THE MOUNTIE, SABU, BIG VAN VADER, CHRIS HERO & CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI defeated the Prime team of the Intercontinental Champion “Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF, DANNY HODGE, “The American Dragon” BRYAN DANIELSON, TERRY “Bamm Bamm” GORDY & “Dr. Death” STVE WILLIAMS when VADER pinned HODGE following a Vader Bomb…
EDGE defeated “Flyin’” BRIAN PILLMAN by pinfall following a Spear…
BRET “The Hitman” HART defeated BUBBA RAY DUDLEY and “Beautiful” BOBBY EATON in a Triple Threat Match.
Before the match The World Wrestling Alliance Chairman of the Championship Trust, DICK HUTTON announced that THE DUDLEY BOYZ would defend the WWA Tag Team Championships against THE HART FOUNDATION and THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS in a “Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match” at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE…
World Tag Team Champion, BARRY WINDHAM defeated DYNAMITE KID by pinfall when DYNAMITE missed a Flying Headbutt which was followed up by a Bulldog by WINDHAM…
In a battle of #1 Contenders HARLEY RACE and “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM fought to a double countout…
The World Wrestling Alliance Champion, CURT HENNIG defeated the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE by pinfall when timely interference on the part of “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM led to HENNIG hitting VALENTINE with a "Hennig-Plex” to pick up the three count…
In a World War 3 Preview Match the Prime team of WWA Global Cruiserweight Champion, “Playboy” BUDDY ROSE, “Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY, “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG & THE HILLJACKS defeated the Powerhouse team of United States Heavyweight Champion BRUNO SAMMARTINO, BUFF BAGWELL, ED “Strangler” LEWIS, ROB VAN DAM & VERNE GAGNE by disqualification when HULK HOGAN made his return to WWA Prime and attacked THE HILLJACKS.
After the match HOGAN had this to say: “I’ve spent two weeks in the darkness, brother. But now my eyes are opened. I underestimated the so-called ‘Higher Power.’ But anyone who can make Hellbilly Jim & Cousin Luke do the things they did to me, the things they did to someone, who up until a few weeks thought of them as friends, then this ‘Higher Power’ is someone to take seriously.” APTER: “What did they do to you?” HOGAN: “This is neither the time nor the place, brother. But I’m gonna get to the bottom of this. Next week. Right here on WWA Prime I challenge that big redneck son of a bitch Hellbilly Jim to a Hell in a Cell Match. If I beat him I want it court ordered, brother that he reveals to me the identity of his ‘master”. But if I lose I’ll give the HillJacks and the Higher Power what they want. You want my career. You can have it. If I can’t beat Hellbilly Jim inside the 30 foot steel cage I will retire!”
And with that WWA Prime went off the air.
That’s it for The WWA Prime Re-Wind for August 22nd. I’ll be back tomorrow with results from the August 26th episode of WWA Powerhouse.
Until then…

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, August 26, 2011 – San Antonio, TX – AT&T Center[/u]
In the opening match a “World War 3 Preview Match” the POWERHOUSE team of “Nature Boy” BUDDY ROGERS, BOBO BRAZIL, MAGNUM TA, GORGEOUS GEORGE & BROCK LESNAR defeated the PRIME team of THE SHEIK, EDGE, THE MAGNIFICENT MURACO, OX BAKER & BATISTA when LESNAR pinned OX BAKER following an F-5…
In a non-title match VERNE GAGNE defeated the WWA World Honor Crown Champion ED “Strangler” LEWIS by submission via a Gagne Sleeper…
Next up the World Wrestling Alliance Champion, CURT HENNIG was in “The Hot Seat” with BILL APTER. When APTER led with a question about HARLEY RACE challenging him at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, HENNIG once again got upset with the award winning journalist. HENNIG: “What the hell kind of question is that? I am the World Wrestling Alliance Champion and you want to ask me about a #1 Contender? What’s more a #1 Contender who has absolutely no chance of beating me. And you start with a question about Harley Race. You know what Apter. You’re overrated.” HENNIG then took the mic from APTER and told him to “Hit the pavement. I’m sick and tired of the sub-par journalism covering my reign as WWA Champion. I need someone who can cast me in the proper light. A light I so richly deserve. I think I know just who I need. Next week right here on WWA Powerhouse, after I’ve successfully defended my championship against Harley Race at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, I’m going to introduce the world to my very own broadcast journalist. Someone who will call my matches and ask me the questions that I want to answer. No more of these questions about has-beens, never-will-bes and who-gives-a-damns. A new era in wrestling journalism will begin on September 2.”
DAVEY BOY SMITH defeated MIKE ROTUNDO when SMITH reversed ROTUNDO’S Airplane Spin into a Running Powerslam…

A video aired proclaiming the World Wrestling Alliance debut next week of “The Legend of Legends” LOU THESZ…
In a “World War 3 Preview Match” between the PRIME team of HULK HOGAN, AUSTIN ARIES, “The Untouchable” RODERICK STRONG, EDDIE GUERRERO & “Ravishing” RICK RUDE battled the POWERHOUSE team of ANDRE THE GIANT, NIGEL McGUINNESS, BRENT ALBRIGHT, DIESEL & CACTUS JACK to a double disqualification when the referee lost control of the match. This prompted a locker room clearing brawl as members of both PRIME and POWERHOUSE ran into the ring and continued to fight throughout the arena. At one point, BIG VAN VADER laid out ANDRE THE GIANT with a steel chair. And then in a clear “Holy S**t!” moment VADER jumped from the ring apron onto a prone ANDRE sending both the “Eighth Wonder of the World” and “The Mastodon” through the broadcast table.
By the time WWA Powerhouse was going off the air BIG VAN VADER had managed to get to his feet and was shouting “Who’s the man?” Meanwhile, as a visibly bruised VADER was gloating in the ring a sight perhaps never before seen in the history of professional wrestling was taking place. ANDRE THE GIANT was being taken away on a stretcher.
That’s it for “The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind” for August 26th. I’ll be back tomorrow with results from WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE.
Until then…

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, August 29, 2011 – Tampa, FL – St. Pete Times Forum[/u]
The WWA Prime broadcast began with JUDGE JOE BROWN live via satellite. He had the following proclamation to make:
JUDGE BROWN: “In the case of the Hell in the Cell Match between Hulk Hogan and Hellbilly Jim I do hereby declare that should Hellbilly Jim lose the match he is court ordered to reveal to Mr. Hogan the identity of the so-called “Higher Power.” However, should Hellbilly Jim prove to be the winner of the contest, Hulk Hogan will be hereby court-ordered to retire from the sport of Professional Wrestling. Should either man fail to live up to the ruling of this court; either man will be held in Contempt of this Court and will be sentenced to serve no less than 21 days in a federal correctional facility. On this the 29th day of August in the year 2011. I, Judge Joe Brown do hereby declare this to be my official ruling in the case of the Hell in the Cell Match between Hulk Hogan and Hellbilly Jim. Thank you and may God bless America.”
The opening match marked the WWA Prime debut of THE STEINER BROTHERS who defeated THE HEARTBREAK EXPRESS when SCOTT pinned “Fabulous” PHIL DAVIS following a “Frankensteiner”…
“Playboy” BUDDY ROSE defeated DELIRIOUS by pinfall following a “Bombs Away” kneedrop to retain the WWA Global Cruiserweight Championship...
In the ring was “Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM he had the mic in his hand and, as per usual, had a lot to say…
GRAHAM: “I stand before you tonight as a winner but not as the World Heavyweight Champion. Last night at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE I defeated the World Lightweight Champion, Johnny Valentine. Last night I proved three things. Number One: I am the Alpha Male… The one that makes the girls’ hearts swell. The Man of the Hour; the man with the power. Too sweet; to be sour. And I am beyond a shadow of a doubt the Reflection of Perfection! But you already knew that! Number Two: I can beat Johnny Valentine whenever I want to and however I want to. And number three and most importantly; I proved last night that Johnny Valentine is a coward. After I drove his skinny neck through the concrete floor, instead of manning up and getting back in the ring your World Lightweight Champion took a nap. He knew he couldn’t beat me. He knows he can never beat me. And as far as I’m concerned his time with that big gold belt is just about up. And when the smoke clears, and we see that Valentine is yellow, who do you thing will be standing? Holding that World Heavyweight Championship high above his head and flexing his 22” pythons for the entire world to see will be “Superstar” Billy Graham! Thank you Tampa. The pleasure was all yours.”
In an Intercontinental Tag Team Championship Qualifier Match, THE ENFORCERS defeated THE VACHONS when BOB ORTON pinned BUTCHER VACHON following a piledriver…
BILL APTER was backstage with HELLBILLY JIM. JIM was accompanied by COUSIN LUKE who was in the background strumming a banjo. The tune he was playing was the theme from “Deliverance.”
APTER: “I’m backstage with The HillJacks. Hillbilly… I mean Hellbilly Jim. Last week Hulk Hogan had some pretty defamatory things to say about you and Cousin Luke. What do you have to say for yourself?”
HELLBILLY JIM: Looked at the camera grinned wide and said “That Hogan’s sure got a pretty mouth, don’t he?” And with that HELLBILLY JIM and COUSIN LUKE strolled off…
EDGE defeated “Dr. Death” STEVE WILLIAMS following an Impale DDT…
Once again BILL APTER was backstage this time however he was with last night’s winner of the 40 Man World War 3 Match, HULK HOGAN.
APTER: "Congratulations Hulkster on your victory at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. As a result of your victory you will be given a chance to contend for either the World Heavyweight Championship or WWA Championship in November at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS. But before that you have to face Hellbilly Jim in a Hell in the Cell Match right here tonight. Hulkster, not only is your title match in jeopardy but your career is on the line. What are your thoughts going into this epic match?”
HOGAN: “Well, you know something, Bill Apter it will be worth it if I can exact a measure of revenge against that no-good, stinking redneck. It’s all about getting to the truth, brother. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do tonight.”
APTER: “What about the mind games the HillJacks appear to be playing with you? How are you going to combat that?”
HOGAN: "I got the power of right and righteousness on my side brother! The HillJacks and their master are pure evil. And tonight I’m going to extinguish that evil and bring light back into the World Wrestling Alliance. And when I get done with Hellbilly Jim I’m gonna scour the earth for this so-called “Higher Power” and he’ll feel the wrath of Hulkamania. Whatcha gonna do, Hellbilly Jim and the Higher Power, when Hulkamania runs wild on you?”
APTER: “Whoo, the big man is fired up. Let’s head back to the ring.”
In another Intercontinental Tag Team Championship Qualifier Match the team of “Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY & “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG defeated the team of AUSTIN ARIES & “The Untouchable” RODERICK STRONG when CONDREY pinned STRONG following a Rocket Launcher. As a result THE ENFORCERS will face THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY next week on WWA Prime to determine the #1 Contenders to the Intercontinental Tag Team Championships…
In the main event HULK HOGAN defeated HELLBILLY JIM in a “Hell in a Cell Match.” The end came after the two men, as well as the referee, had managed to climb to the roof of the 20 foot high steel cage, HOGAN hit JIM with an Atomic Legdrop and then covered “the Ruthless Redneck” for the pinfall. What happened next was absolutely chilling. As per the court mandated pre-match stipulation HELLBILLY JIM, because he lost the match, was to reveal the identity of the “Higher Power” to HOGAN. However, as HOGAN attempted to get the answer HELLBILLY JIM walked to the edge of the cage and stood there looking down at the broadcast table that was at ringside. HELLBILLY JIM gave HOGAN a look and the Hulkster knew what was on the Ruthless Redneck’s mind. HOGAN could be heard saying: “Don’t do it, brother. It’s not worth it. Just tell me who the Higher Power is and we’ll climb down. You don’t want to do this. C’mon brother. C’mon down.” And at that HELLBILLY JIM looked at HOGAN smiled and stepped off the cage and plummeted nearly 30 feet crashing into the broadcast table.
The final image from WWA Prime was HOGAN standing on top of the cage with a stunned look on his face as HELLBILLY JIM was being rolled away on a stretcher.
That’s it for “The WWA Prime Re-Wind” for August 29th. I’ll be back in a couple days with the results from the September 2nd episode of WWA Powerhouse featuring the World Wrestling Alliance debut of LOU THESZ.
Until then…

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, September 2, 2011 – Orlando, FL – The Amway Center
In their WWA debut the team of TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON defeated the team of MR. X & THE BELGIAN BRAWLER when ATLAS pinned MR. X following a Gorilla Press Slam…
Footage is shown of LOU THESZ talking to the WWA World Honor Crown Champion ED “Strangler” LEWIS backstage. This prompted the Powerhouse play-by-play commentator TONY SCHIAVONE to announce “The Legend of Legends is here!”…
BIG VAN VADER destroyed “Superstar” SEAN DAVIS following a Vader Bomb. After the match VADER gloating about injuring ANDRE THE GIANT challenged any “big man in the business” to see who is the “biggest dog in the yard.” VADER stalked the ring but no one accepted his challenge…
Footage is shown of the World Wrestling Alliance Champion CURT HENNIG talking to somebody backstage. But before the cameraman could get a good angle HENNIG shoves the cameraman back and slams the door. The door reads “World Wrestling Alliance Champion, CURT HENNIG and Guest”…
“The Terrible Turk” YOUSSUF ISHMAELO defeated CACTUS JACK by countout when ISHMAELO’S partner THE ONE MAN GANG intervened giving CACTUS JACK a piledriver on the concrete floor. However, CACTUS JACK soon got to his feet, grabbed a steel chair and was ready to fight off both men until medical personnel and WWA officials intervened…
It was announced that WWA Powerhouse’s next pay per view, VENDETTA would take place on Sunday, September 25 and emanate from the HSBC Center in Buffalo, New York…
Footage is shown of HARLEY RACE backstage pounding his fist into his palm. He has a intense look on his face and he stares ahead. The camera scrolls over and we see that RACE is staring at a door that reads “World Wrestling Alliance Champion, CURT HENNIG and Guest.” However the WWA Chairman of the Championship Trust DICK HUTTON appears and tells RACE that he needs "to have a word.” RACE glares at the door pounds his fists and says, “I’m waiting for someone.” HUTTON nods his head and says, “I know. That’s why we need to talk.” RACE turns and walks off with HUTTON…
BROCK LESNAR defeated KILLER KOWALSKI by pinfall following an F-5. After the match THE MOUNTIE came to the ring to got in LESNAR’S face about eliminating him in the “World War 3 Match” at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. LESNAR just laughed THE MOUNTIE. LESNAR: “Listen here, Jacques. I did what I was supposed to do. If you have a problem with that I’ll listen to your argument and then deal with you accordingly.” And then from out of nowhere the United States Tag Team Champions and THE MOUNTIE’S Stable mates in HUMPERDINK’S ARMY, THE LOVE BROTHERS came through the audience and attacked LESNAR from behind. REGINALD & HARTFORD set up LESNAR for THE MOUNTIE’S cattle prod. Fortunately before THE MOUNTIE could get his man, the newest Powerhouse tag team of TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON made the save and ran off HUMPERDINK’S ARMY. BROCK LESNAR shook the hands of both ATLAS & JOHNSON before all three left the ring together…
In a rematch from a couple weeks ago “Nature Boy” BUDDY ROGERS defeated BUFF BAGWELL via submission following a Figure Four Grapevine. After the match ROGERS spat on BAGWELL and rolled him out of the ring. ROGERS took the mic and proclaiming that he was “sick of the lack of competition” in Powerhouse, challenged the United States Heavyweight Champion, BRUNO SAMMARTINO to put the belt on the line against him at VENDETTA…
When we return from commercial, footage is shown of the WWA Champion, CURT HENNIG defeating HARLEY RACE at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE. We see highlights of HENNIG getting the best of RACE. The last highlight shows HENNIG hooking RACE up for a “Hennig-Plex,” executing the move and finally getting the 1-2-3 for the victory. Conspicuous by its absence is the controversial footage of HENNIG hitting RACE with the High Knee Lift. After the package airs HENNIG had this to say:
HENNIG: “I am awesome. I did exactly what I said I was going to do and that was defeat Harley Race to remain the World Wrestling Alliance Champion. Race didn’t stand a chance against my obviously superior athleticism. Race you’re a tough old bastard, emphasis on the old, but WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE just wasn’t your night. And one day very soon you’re going to wake up and realize that it’s all over for you. Your time has come and gone and a new age of Legendary Wrestling has dawned. The Age of Hennig. Not the Age of Larry “The Axe” Hennig or “Pretty Boy” or whatever he’s calling himself these days, but the Age of Curt Hennig. And that’s going to last as long I want it to. That brings me to tonight. Now, because of subpar interviewers and substandard commentators I thought it would be in my best interest, and yours, I am after all your WWA Champion; I thought it would behoove me to bring in my own personal Broadcast Journalist to WWA Powerhouse. Last week I promised that he would be here and, not only am I a great champion but I am a man of my word. So without further ado allow me to introduce my new Broadcast Journalist…"
At this moment music played and out walked, not CURT HENNIG’S new Broadcast Journalist but, “The Legend of Legends” himself LOU THESZ. HENNIG was obviously upset about the turn of events. THESZ took a mic but before he could say anything HENNIG spoke up.
HENNIG: “All right, just who the hell do you think you are? This is my time Thesz.”
THESZ: “Well, I was told that this was my time. So the question is who are you?”
HENNIG: “Who am I? I’m the World Wrestling Alliance Champion.”
THESZ: “Not for long.”
HENNIG: “What the hell is that suppose to mean?”
THESZ: “It means that there’s a new guy in town. A guy who’s won more championships than you have ex-girlfriends.”
HENNIG: “I have ex-girlfriends all over the place.”
At this time the Powerhouse General Manager “The Mouth of the South” JIMMY HART made his way down to the ring. HENNIG: "And just exactly who is the ‘new guy’ this guy with all the championships.”
THESZ: “I think you know.”
HENNIG: “Please tell me it’s you.” THESZ nodded his head. “Well, Lou, I’m going to tell you the same thing I just told Harley Race. Your time has come and gone and a new age is here.”
THESZ: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I know The Age of Curt Hennig. Listen to me Curt. You’re the current WWA Champion. On the surface you got it all; the looks; the hair, the body; the championship. Hell, son, some may even say you’ve a little bit of talent. But what I’ve noticed about you is that despite all that. Despite everything, when you open your mouth all this stupid comes out.”
HENNIG: “Wait a minute. I’m the World Wrestling Alliance Champion you can’t talk to me like that.”
THESZ: “Fine. I won’t talk.”
At that THESZ slapped the champion across the face. HENNIG rubbed his cheek and then charged at THESZ. If not for JIMMY HART grabbing his foot from outside the ring HENNIG may have found himself in a whole lot of trouble as THESZ was standing ready for whatever the champion might throw at him. HART managed to keep HENNIG at bay just long enough to get in the ring and stand between the two. HENNIG made only half-hearted attempts to get at THESZ but HART, all 150 lbs. of him, easily managed to hold him back. HENNIG kept repeating: “I want him, Jimmy. I want him right here. Right now.” HART would respond, “I know. I know champ. Time and place baby. Time and place.” HART eventually managed to get HENNIG out of the ring.
However, CURT HENNIG'S evening was about to get worse.
Unbeknownst to the champion, HARLEY RACE made his way down to the ringside area. Wrapped around his right fist was a pair of brass knuckles. He walked up behind HENNIG, tapped him on the shoulder and when HENNIG turned he was met with a right hook from RACE that dropped the WWA Champion like a sack of potatoes.
Meanwhile inside the ring THESZ applauded RACE. But when THESZ opened the ring ropes inviting RACE to join him the former WWA champion turned and walked away.
As Powerhouse was going off the air; HARLEY RACE was making his way backstage, LOU THESZ stood in the ring obviously miffed by RACE’S show of disrespect and the World Wrestling Alliance Champion CURT HENNIG was out cold on the outside of the ring being tended to by JIMMY HART.
That’s it for “The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind” for September 2nd. I’ll be back in a couple days with results from both the September 5th episode of WWA Prime and tomorrow night’s episode of WWA Powerhouse.
Until then…

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Prime Monday, September 5, 2011 – Louisville, KY – Louisville Gardens
THE NEW AGE OUTLAWS in their WWA Prime Debut defeated the team “Dastardly” DANNY DORING & AMISH ROADKILL when “Bad Ass” BILLY GUNN pinned DORING following a Fame-Asser…
“Ravishing” RICK RUDE defeated THE SHEIK by pinfall following a Rude Awakening. During RUDE’S post match celebration the Intercontinental Champion “Mr. Wonderful” PAUL ORNDORFF, who was doing commentary on the match, came into the ring. ORNDORFF got in RUDE’S face and seemed to be challenging the “Ravishing One” to a posedown. RUDE just stepped back, pointed at ORNDORFF, performed an X crotch chop and waked away. As RUDE strutted away from the ring ORNDORFF stood near the ring ropes taunting RUDE in an attempt to get him to get back into the ring…
The match to determine the #1 Contenders to the Intercontinental Tag Team Championship between THE INTERNATIONAL MEN OF MYSTERY (“Loverboy” DENNIS CONDREY & “Pretty Boy” LARRY HENNIG) and THE ENFORCERS (BOB ORTON, Sr. & DON LEO JONATHAN) ended in a double countout…
“Playboy” BUDDY ROSE made quick work of CHRIS CANDIDO pinning him in under a minute following a Bombs Away Kneedrop to remain the WWA Global Cruiserweight Champion. Following the match a video played announcing the return of MISTICO to WWA Prime. Upset by the video a pouty ROSE grabbed up his championship belt and sulked away from the ring…
EDGE defeated TERRY “Bamm Bamm” GORDY by pinfall following a Spear. After the match EDGE got on the mic and had a message for HULK HOGAN. EDGE: “You know something Hulkster, I’m sick and tired of this. Ever since I cam to the World Wrestling Alliance you’ve been ignoring me. You get double-teamed by the HillJacks and I offer you my help and what do you do? You laugh and say “it’s not my fight. It’s not my concern.” But somehow it’s “Flyin’” BRIAN PILLMAN’S fight, his concern? You ask him to be your tag team partner against JIM & LUKE. Well, a few weeks ago I sent that fly-boy packing. You don’t respect me, Hogan. I see that now. Right here next week on Prime you and me are going to have a little chat and then you’re going to see just what I’m willing to do to earn your respect.”…
“Superstar” BILLY GRAHAM defeated the former WWA Global Cruiserweight Champion, DANNY HODGE by submission when HODGE submitted to GRAHAM’S Bearhug. However before GRAHAM could gloat over his victory the World Heavyweight Champion, “The Legendary” JOHNNY VALENTINE returned to WWA Prime and attacked his bitter rival. With the frustration of weeks of trash talk and his loss at WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE raging inside him VALENTINE unleashed a brutal beating that chased GRAHAM backstage all the way out of the Louisville Gardens. VALENTINE’S bloodlust wasn’t satiated until he threw GRAHAM through a car window.
And with that this week’s broadcast of WWA Prime came to a close.
That’s it for “The WWA Prime Re-Wind” for September 5th. I’ll be back in a couple of day for the results of the September 9th episode of WWA Powerhouse.

WORLD WRESTLING ALLIANCE Powerhouse Friday, September 9, 2011 – Lexington, KY – Rupp Arena[/u]
The show opened with the World Wresting Alliance Champion CURT HENNIG coming to the ring. Once in the ring he addressed the audience in the Rupp Arena and everyone who was watching at home.
HENNIG: “You know last week was supposed to be a night to celebrate me and to introduce the world to my brand new Broadcast Journalist. But that didn’t happen because of two and half men, and no I’m not talking about that hilarious sitcom that airs on Monday nights. And I promise you this it’s better than anything else on Monday nights. The two and half men I’m talking about are Dick Hutton, Lou Thesz; and the ½ man is the former WWA Champion and current has-been… Harley Race. Now because of prior commitments, my Broadcast Journalist could not be here tonight. However, I do have every intention of dealing with Hutton and Thesz tonight. And as for Race; I only have this to say. I beat you Harley Race. I’ve beat you twice. Once for the title and the other time when you tried to get it back. And how do you respond? Harley Race you crybaby. You cry to Hutton and then you attack me from behind with a pair of brass knuckles! Harley Race what kinda man are you? Let me answer that for you… you’re a half man. I kinda like that. I’m done with you Harley “The Half-Man” Race. This thing between us is over and I am your World Wrestling Alliance Champion, Race, and there wasn’t a damn thing you could’ve done about that. Now Lou Thesz and Dick Hutton. Dick Hutton I don’t know why you insist on getting…”
At this time HARLEY RACE’S music hits, the Lexington, Kentucky crowd goes wild and the former WWA Champion comes out and stands at the top of the ramp.
RACE: “It’s not over between us Curt. Not by a longshot. I have in my hand a brand new contract. And it states in this contract that I’m guaranteed one more World Wrestling Alliance Championship match. And guess what Curt? That match is going to happen at VENDETTA.”
HENNIG responds to this news by kicking the ring ropes.
RACE: “Oh and one more thing, sweetheart. It’s a Last Man Standing Match.”
The crowd erupts, RACE smiles and walks off, HENNIG fumes in the ring and we go to commercial…
In the first match of the night a United States Tag Team Championship Qualifier match the team of TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON defeated THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS. When JOHNSON pinned AL COSTELLO following a Sunset Flip…
VERNE GAGNE defeated THE MOUNTIE via the Gagne Sleeper. After the match GAGNE announced that a 2 out of 3 Falls Match between him and ED “Strangler” LEWIS for the WWA World Honor Crown Championship had been signed for VENDETTA…
Backstage CURT HENNIG is talking to the Powerhouse General Manager JIMMY HART.
HENNIG: "But I'm an athlete not some barroom brawler. This Last Man Standing Match flies in the face of everything that's great about this sport."
HART: “I know you want to move on from Harley Race, baby. But there’s nothing I can do about VENDETTA. You have to face him. But don’t worry…”
HENNIG: “I’m not worried.”
HART: “You’ll beat him. You’ve done it twice. You can do it again. Don’t worry about Harley Race.”
HENNIG: “I’m done with Harley Race; I want Thesz. I want to defend my WWA Championship against the so-called ‘Legend of Legends’.”
HART: “The guy hasn’t even wrestled a single match here. But listen. There’s no one for you to face at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS in November. So I’ve come up with a plan... Hennig versus Thesz for the World Wrestling Alliance Championship at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS.”
HENNIG: “Yeah, I like the sound of that.”
HART: “I knew you would baby! But listen, first Thesz has to prove himself in a WWA ring. There are ten weeks between now and Thanksgiving night and NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS. So I’ve arranged for him to wrestle ten top guys. Should Thesz go through all ten in this 'Gauntlet for the Gold' you’ll get your shot at him at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS.”
HENNIG: “I don't want them to lay down for him. I want Thesz at his best. 100%. No excuses”
HART: “They won't lay down because if any of them beat Thesz they'll get the championship match at NIGHT OF THE LEGENDS. So don't worry. I got your back, baby.”
HENNIG: “Who does Thesz have first?”
HART: “The One Man Gang. They’re wrestling tonight.”
HENNIG: "That sounds good to me. Jimmy, you've outdone yourself."
And with that we go to commercial…
In another United States Tag Team Championship Qualifier Match the team of the former WWA Tag Team Champions, CHRIS HERO & CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI defeated former Intercontinental Tag Team Champions, THE KILLER BEES when HERO pinned B. BRIAN BLAIR following a Hero’s Sandwich. So next week the team of TONY ATLAS & ROCKY JOHNSON will meet the team of CHRIS HERO & CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI to determine the #1 Contenders to the United States Tag Team Championships…
DIESEL defeated “The Terrible Turk” YOUSSUF ISHMAELO when ISHMAELO was disqualified for using the Cutthroat on “Big Daddy Cool.” After the match an enraged DIESEL powerbombed “The Terrible Turk” before commenting on BIG VAN VADER’S “big man challenge” from last week.
DIESEL: “Am I big enough for ya, Vader? I just want to let you know that I’ll be around next week. If you want me; I’m 7 feet tall and over 300 pounds; I ain’t hard to find. So bring your fat ass to Memphis and let’s see what you got!”
THE ROAD WARRIORS destroyed THE NAPTOWN DRAGON when DUSTIN LEE didn’t die too hard after being nailed by the Doomsday Device. After the match the manager of THE ROAD WARRIORS “Precious” PAUL ELLERING got on the mic and called the World Tag Team Champions BARRY WINDHAM & MIKE ROTUNDO “cowards” and accused them of “hiding behind corporate red tape.” The World Tag Team Champions are sure to respond next week when they return to action on WWA Powerhouse…
BRUNO SAMMARTINO defeated KILLER KOWALSKI to retain the United States Heavyweight Championship when KOWALSKI submitted to BRUNO’S Backbreaker. After the match BILL APTER came down to the ring adn spoke with the U.S. Champion.
APTER: "Last week, Bruno, 'Nature Boy' Buddy Rogers openly challenged you to a match at VENDETTA for your United States Heavyweight Championship. What do you say to that challenge?"
BRUNO: "Yes."
In the main event and the first in LOU THESZ’S Gauntlet for the Gold, “The Legend of Legends” made THE ONE MAN GANG tap out to the STF. 1 down 9 to go. As WWA Powerhouse drew to a close the World Wrestling Alliance Champion, CURT HENNIG came out and stood on top of the ramp he raised his championship belt high in the air and the two men engaged in a staredown.
That’s it for “The WWA Powerhouse Re-Wind” for September 9th. I’ll be back in a couple days with results from the September 12th episode of WWA Prime and the September 16th episode of WWA Powerhouse. Until then…
