Southern Fried Rasslin - 1987 CWA

The Continental Wrestling Alliance was at a crossroads in 1987. They knew they had a hot market in the South. Nashville (where the CWA was based), Memphis, out to Lexington, Kentucky and beyond.. the South had some great wrestling fans. They had some great wrestlers too: Jerry "The King" Lawler. Jeff Jarrett. The Soul Man (and future father of the Most Electrifying.. yeah, you know), Rocky Johnson. Wildfire Tommy Rich.

But they looked North. The WWF had started to become all-consuming. Jim Crockett Promotions, (who promoted on the National Wrestling Alliance name) were just above them. Then they looked West. The Von Erich led World Class Championship Wrestling still had power, despite the family's tragic history.

So.. they had to grow. Probably at the expense of others. But attempting to grow or changing too fast and they risked losing it all. As it was, they had a bloated roster. They hadn't rotated people in and out properly, and thus the roster became unworkable. Jerry Lawler apparently had a backstage fight with another wrestler over a limited payday.. he won, but still, there were thoughts that he was trying to protect his payday too much and the other wrestlers asked Jerry to step off the Booker role for a bit.

That's where I came in.

Monday, March 1: We have $250,000 in the bank, and are a regional sized promotion. We're C- in the South East (our base), D- in the Great Lakes, and E- in Mid Atlantic and Mid-West.

To rise to Cult, all we need to do is make a D in two regions. We're 90% of the way there.

But the roster, is, quite frankly, unworkable. We are sixteen people over our ideal roster. Even with the growth to Cult in the wings, we have WAY too many people to sustain. Especially if I want to hire people. So, it's time to bring out the ax, before I even start reviewing the roster.

Released from contract:

Stan Frazier - "The Giant Hillbilly Elmer" was on the chopping block from the start. His gimmic was semi-over, but his stats weren't anything to write home about, and to be honest, his character couldn't play in a bunch of locations.

Gypsy Joe - This one felt bad. In the real world, Gypsy Joe wrestled up until January 2011, but at 53, he had a decent rumble stat, and there's no way he can survive on this roster. His gimmick was pretty much dead as well.

Jonathan Boyd - The "Evil New Zealander", just returning from a car accident.. I decide that rather then drop him, I'll let his pay per appearance contract expire in four weeks and use his Main Event push to build up a couple guys.

Lou Winston - Tried to pull off the Bad Ass Gimmick, but between age (40) and skills (Low to non existent), it's nowhere near enough.

Ron Bruise - Decent brawler (D- Rumble), and good on camera, but quite frankly, it would take too long to build him up, and we have enough monster/bad ass types (Lord Humongous and Goliath to name two).. with him goes..

Don Bruise - HIs brother. Same thing as above.

Soul Train Jones - Well, Mr. Mike Jones, let's put it this way. Your wrestling skills are too poor to be useful to me. But there's a rumor that Ted Dibiase may sign a deal with the WWF at some point in the future, and they want him to play a rich guy.. you could do a great job as his butler/manservant (Yes, Mike "Soul Train" Jones) is better known as Virgil from WWF.

The Saved

The Hunter - Basically gets saved by the fact that one of our few managers/talkers, Bambi, is The Hunter's wife. He's an opener, his physical condition could be better (a 1982 car accident basically kept him out for a year and a half).. but, he's only an opener. Let's keep him on a short rope I guess.

Main Eventers:

Austin Idol - Our lone heel amongst the Main Eventers (Until I get a chance to move folks around and turn folks). Our current AWA Southern Heavyweight Champion. (and wait till I get to Lawler. I'm going to drop a stat about that title that is going to come off as ridiculous). Managed by Paul E Dangerously, can fight, good at entertainment , good physical stats, and good on Camera. He's going to have fun with Lawler. *evil grins*

Bam Bam Bigelow - The "Bammer" is a young gun who's hot, just 25, and got a great gimmick. Good at rumbling, very good on camera, I think he just needs a good push to get through the Lawler glass ceiling..

"Superstar" Bill Dundee -Memphis through and through. Great at the talking and performance side of things.. was playing Ricky Morton in Memphis before Ricky Morton realized that if he had long hair and Rock and Roll in his team name, he could pick up many, many barely legal chicks .

Brickhouse Brown - The weakest wrestler of the Main Eventers, he doesn't do anything particularly well. Was considered a candidate for cutting, but instead decided he's probably going to be fed to some of our monsters, he's got decent popularity around the US.. maybe he can get some of our other folks up.

Jerry "The King" Lawler - Entertaining as hell, great at fighting, good at wrestling. Do the crowds love him, or love to hate him? Yeah, depending on what he is, they do both. They love to see him win titles, and they love to see him lose titles. At the time the game starts, he is a FOURTY TWO time AWA Southern Heavyweight Champion (and the Wikipedia page lists him as a 46 time champion).. He eventually won the title FIFTY TWO TIMES. So, yeah, Jerry, you may not win the title again for a while. I can promise you interesting times, mind you..

Rocky Johnson: The Soul Man does just about everything at least decently. The fans love his gimmick. It looks like he can put a good match on with a lot of folks. I think I'll have to figure out what to do with Rocky.

Tommy Rich: Yeah, Wildfire is a good brawler. Not as good as Rocky in a lot of stuff, but I'll be damned if he ain't over like crazy.

Upper Midcarders: Just like the Main Eventers are face dominated, the Upper Midcarders are a bunch of cads and bounders. Here's the laydown:

Jonathan Boyd: As stated above, the 43 year old is probably on his way out. One half of the old Kiwi Sheepherders, good on Camera... and good at fighting.. Hmm.. who to give the old Kiwi one more run against?

Mr Shima - Well, this is CWA.. so you know a Japanese wrestler isn't likely going to be a good guy. Currently one half of the International Tag Team Title Champions with Tarzan Goto.

Jeff Jarrett - Yeah, call it what you will. Nepotism, etcetera. The boss's son is still hot in Memphis, and still removed from some of the crazier stuff of later years (for example, wrestling Dutch Mantell to the accompaniment of an orchestra for PBS, or creating a wrestling company called TNA).. He's down below due to the sheer amount of faces we have up top..

Chic Donovan - A memphis mainstay, had long fueds with Jerry Lawler and Bill DUndee. Possibly on the downside at 43, but still can go pretty well..

Dirty Rhodes - No, this is not a long lost cousin to Dusty. (although I'm sure they feuded at one point). Dirty and his partner Don Bass have had a long history in Memphis, as the Masked New York Asssassins, the Flames, and the Interns. Still can go at 40.

Billy Joe Travis - Standard Southern face, had feuds with Dundee and Lawler, but his momentum has stalled out.. probably a candidate to drop down at some point.

Don Bass - A rugged mat based brawler, good performance, everything you'd want out of a heel.

(I've already lost my write up twice, so real quick comments is all you get)

Midcarders

Allen West (Heel) The most redneck guy you'll ever see get a Playboy gimmick.

Goliath -(Heel) Old Monster type (47). Still has a decent look. Rest gone to shit.

Jack Hart (heel)- Better known as Barry Horowitz. Nuf Ced.

King Cobra (face) - A good face. brings energy. The old Southern tag team rules meant he would have to tag with Brickhouse Brown or Rocky Johnson though..

Lord Humongous - A younger Monster, better look, and not nearly as awful in the ring.

Mike Davis (Heel) - Only in Memphis (or more accurately in the South) would a Rock and Roll Team (the Rock n Roll RPMs) be a heel team

Phil Hickerson (Heel)- Evil Texan Brawler #415

Steve Keirn - (Heel) - You have to admire anyone who can pull off coming to the ring to the sounds of Sharp Dressed Man, dressed up like a Chippendales Dancer and then later in life, play a disgusting, tobacco chewing redneck named Skinner. In acting terms, that's called character range.

Tarzan Goto (Heel) - Mr Shima's tag team partner, good but not great. His garbage days are ahead of him.

Tommy Lane - (Face) The other half of the RnR RPM's.. no I don't know why he's a face and Davis is a heel.

Lower Midcarders and Below:

Boy Tony (Heel) - Quite possibly the ugliest looking photo I've ever seen (including Adrian Adonis). Yes, he's playing a Boy George gimmick. According to his bio, he went on to play a "middle aged honky gangsta" gimmick. Wait. What???

Brian Knobbs - One half of the Nasty Boys, his tag team partner (Jerry Saggs) is injured. Trying to develop himself as a singles competitor.

Pat Tanaka - Decent Undercard tag team specialist

Paul Diamond - See Pat Tanaka. Teams with Pat Tanaka. Played Soccer for a while.

Openers

Big Bubba - Teams with Goliath. That team's going to end as soon as I get the title off them. Had a chance to make a big name for himself in NWA/WCW. Unfortunately, it was as the Shockmaster, and you know how it goes. So instead, he's known as Tugboat.

JT Southern - Rookie paying his dues by getting beat up all over the south.

The Hunter - Meh. His wife is hot. I'd have to fire em both.

Titles

AWA Southern Heavyweight - Yes, this is the belt that Jerry Lawler passes around like party favors (biting my toungue so hard about other things being passed around like.. yeah, don't finish that line Foz). It's the top level belt. Austin Idol is the current Champions:

AWA Southern Tag Team - Held by Goliath and Big Bubba. When an opener holds the tag team title with an immobilie giant. We have a problem. Midcard

AWA International Tag Team - Mr Shima and Tarzan Goto own this. Probably going to fold it into the Southern title. Midcard

We have three basic storylines (all unchained) to start:

Austin Idol vs Jerry Lawler - Basically, Idol's about to make Jerry's life hell.

Rocky Johnson vs Jonathan Boyd - Basically, I need to find out if Boyd is worth a new contract. If he doesn't cut it, this will end in a loser leaves town match

Jeff Jarrett vs Chic Donovan - One more run for the Chic.. let's see how the boss's kid does..

Ok, false start, I found out that my #1 wrestler (jerry lawler) would have to miss all my shows (AWA is priority to him). So, I move the show to friday, no conflict, and start again

I have the following five goals from Jerry Jarrett:

A) CWA Must not fall into debt at any point - Critical
B) Jerry Lawler must be kept above a C+ momentum - High
C) Austin Idol must be kept above a C+ momentum - High
D) Cannot hire or extend anyone with less then a D- in Stamina
E) Cannot hire or extend anyone with less then a D- in Selling
F)E) Cannot hire or extend anyone with less then a D- in Basics

Well.. what can we do, the Lawler/Idol feud will hopefully kill two birds with one stone.

We use our agreement with the AWA to arrange for a talent trade, sending Tommy Rich up north for three appearances, in return I get Sgt Slaughter for the same. Maybe I can get him to cut me a few promos.

We also get Tommy Rich some work with Jim Crockett Promotions.. and in return get Ivan Koloff. Hmm... I think I have an idea here..

Looks like we're going to lose Tojo Yamamoto to NJPW.

From the Flowers Hall in Alabama, it's

CWA Championship Wrestling

Pre Show:

Bill Dundee defeated Chic Donovan by small package at 8:13 (D+)
Tommy Rich defeated Mark Starr by pinfall (Piledriver) at 8:23 (D)

TV show, LIVE:

Austin Idol and Dirty Rhodes come out: Idol promises "I'm going to be the man that runs Jerry Lawler out of the CWA, baybee.. I'm gonna make his life not worth a plugged nickel. And it begins tonight.. Lawler.. get yourself a partner, if you can find one.. and we'll see who the better man is!" (C+)

Jonathan Boyd defeats Billy Joe Travis via Iron Claw submission at 4:26 (E+)

Big Bubba defeats Jeff Jarrett via disputed pinfall (Chic Donovan distracted Jarrett at ringside, Bubba attacked him from behind and got a three count with his feet on the ropes) at 5:26 (D-)

Donovan is celebrating his distracting Jarrett, when a mad Jarrett gets up and attacks Donovan, and the two brawl to the back (E+)

Rocky Johnson defeats Allen West after a Johnson Shuffle at 7:30 (D)

We go to the ring, where a man known across the US stands there.. it's Sgt Slaughter! "Atttennnnn-HUT!".. "I had a few weeks liberty, so I came down to the CWA, because I heard the fans there were some of the loudest, rowdiest, best wrestling fans in the world.. and they were right! So, CWA fans, I salute you!" He gives a crisp salute, but only to be bushwacked from behind.. It's Ivan Koloff! He doesn't work here!

"Stupid American, never watching your back! In my homeland, these fans would be sent to Siberia, because they are stupid, Capitalistic swine who fall so far short of the average Soviet worker! Just like your hero here.. (puts the boot into Slaughter).. Soviets are better!

(C+ for the Slaughter promo, D+ for the Koloff attack)

Jerry Lawler came out "I have to admit, Idol, I didn't think you would have the GUTS to challenge me.. I had all the wrestlers back there begging me for the chance to knock your head off here tonight.. but I chose the biggest, roughest meanest man.... Bam Bam Bigelow! (C+)

Idol and Dirty Rhodes looked like they had seen a monster, and Lawler grinned as the two advanced to the ring.

In the main event of the evening, Lawler was knocking Idol and Rhodes from Pillar to post.. finally Lawler dropped the strap, and the fans erupted, they knew what that meant.. Lawler climbed up to the second rope, prepared to drop the fist, but Idol seemed ready to interfere.. Bigelow chased Idol out of the ring.. and as Lawler grinned, Bigelow gave Lawler a high five...

Before grabbing him and powerslamming him to the mat, leaving the fans in shock!

Bigelow continued to put the boot in, as a laughing Austin Idol returned to the ring, accepting the tag from Rhodes, and added insult to injury, locked Lawler in the Las Vegas Leglock! Lawler's hand was lifted three times, and it fell three times.

(C+, Bigelow's heel turn was a complete success)

Post match, Idol, Bigelow and Rhodes were continuing to taunt the fans and kick the fallen Lawler.. but the jeers of the crowd turned into an almighty cheer as Tommy "Wildfire" Rich came charging down to ringside! Rhodes got a punch to the face, Idol took a Lou Thesz press, and Rich and Bigelow glared at each other, but the backstage crew seperated the two as the screen faded (C for the attack/save)

Post Show:
Slaughter defeated Mr Shima at 8:21 by Camel Clutch (d-)
Ivan Koloff defeated King Cobra at 7:41 after the Russian Sickle (D-)

Thanks

It's Sunday night, that must mean it's time for:

CWA Championship Wrestling (Week 2 March, 1987) Live from Knoxville, TN

Preshow:

Brickhouse Brown defeats Lord HUmongous by pinfall at 8:15 (D-)
Sgt Slaughter defeats Dirty Rhodes by submission (Camel Clutch) at 8:06, good chemistry! (C)

ANd we're live!

After last week's shocking events, the world wants to know why, Bam Bam, why? Bam Bam Bigelow comes out.. he tells the fans that he didn't expect the fans to cheer him, because he turned on the closest thing that the CWA has to God.. that being Jerry Lawler. But it wasn't personal. It was all business. He has a new advisor. One who told him that he needed to break through Lawler. To make a name for himself. And he's going to introduce his advisor.. next week. (C-)

Austin Idol is gloating "Last week, I out-thought Jerry Lawler. I knew exactly who'd he pick.. and got there first. Hahaha.. I told you I was going to make your life not worth a plugged nicket, Jerry! But I'm not a sore winner, I'll tell you what, I'll be right back in this ring later tonight, and you can come tell me that I'm the better man!" (B+)

Jeff Jarrett defeated Mr Shima by DQ when Chic Donovan attacked Double J (6:38, E+).. Donovan beats down Double J, and as we go to commercial, Double J is left lying in the ring (E+)

We saw a new Jerry Lawler. He was constantly looking around ringside, and at the back, while he was fighting Tommy Lane.. obviously, he was expecting another attack. Tommy Lane nearly took advantage a couple times, but finally at 8:58, Jerry Lawler hit the piledriver for the three count (C)

Sgt Slaughter is in the ring..

"Koloff! You Maggot! You Scum! You Puke! Last week you had your shot, but you didn't get the job done. You thought I'd slink off with my tail between my legs, but let me tell you this.. these colors don't run! Next week, if you're not yellow, I want you to get two of your comrades with you, and I'll meet you with two members of my team, and we'll have a flag match.. right here in front of all these teams. After the match, the winning team's anthem will be played.. And that's gonna be the Star Spangled Banner.. And THAT'S.. an order..."

Koloff charges the ring, and a Katie-Bar-The-Door brawl breaks out, and finally, they send it to commercial as they're trying to keep Koloff and Slaughter apart. (D+)

When we come back, Austin Idol is sitting in the ring. "Come on out, Jerry.. You can't have left already.. you're not THAT much of a yellow-buried coward..."

Lawler comes out, glaring at Idol, who's smiling and kicking back in his chair. A furious Lawler attempts to slide into the ring... but a fan grabs him from ringsi.. wait.. that's no fan!

Lawler's long time rival, "Dirty" Dutch Mantell has returned to the CWA, and how.. he runs Lawler into the ring post.. and again! Meanwhile Austin Idol is clapping and waving his hands like a conductor imploring an unseen orchestra.. Lawler is left laying on the floor, his forehead busted wide open.. What else can Austin Idol do to torment the King? (B rating)

Tommy Rich is amongst those who help a bloodied Lawler to the back, but after Lawler disappears, Rich returns to the ring:

"Mantell.. Idol.. Jerry's going to give you the whippin you two so obviously deserve.. but I want to discuss one man. One man who begged and pleaded with Jerry last week to team with him. That man.. who took the handshake of friendship and turned it into a sneak attack. You say you want to break through, Bigelow? Well, I'm right here in the ring. Try to break through Wildfire.. if you can!" (C)

Bam Bam isn't one to walk away from a challenge, and he and Rich fight all over the ringside area.. back and forth, in and out of the ring. Rich seemingly has the advantage and goes for the Thesz Press.. but Bigelow CATCHES Rich in midair and turns it into a powerslam!

For good measure, Bigelow pulls out all the stops, putting his feet on the ropes, while pulling the trunks of Wildfire, but the ref misses the blatant cheating and counts the pinfall!

Bigelow slides out of the ring and grins to the camera. "Next week, Next week, all will be revealed.." (D)

D+ Show, in front of 4622 people

so, to my (not-so-)long time readers, any idea on who Bigelow's new manager is?

Here's a hint.. if you think of a certain "Chase Scene" song from a movie, you'll be thinking of the manager behind that team.

Any of you TEW users have a modern day real-world mod for TEW 2007? I don't even care if it hasn't been updated since 2007 so it's dated.

Damn, you're good, BYU! (for those of you who don't know, the Midnight Express were one of two teams in the old NWA to have "theme music". One was the Road Warriors and Iron Man (Of course, usually their matches didn't last long enough to get to the end), and the other:



The theme was to the movie "The Midnight Express", from the Chase Scene

We're going to start touring the Great Lakes and other regions with lowlevel cards in an attempt to build up our base there at some point.

We start with a test run from the Chick Evans Field House in DeKalb, Illinois:

CWA Championship Wrestling

Rocky Johnson defeats Jonathan Boyd by pinfall after a Johnson SHuffle at 7:33 (D)

Bam Bam Bigelow comes out and introduces his new business advisor, the advisor to the stars, the Manager of Champions.. Mr. James E Cornette!

"I told Bam Bam here.. Bammer.. you got to make a name for yourself. I want you to find the biggest, meanest man on the block, and I want you to knock his head off... He did that with you Jerry Lawler, thanks to the generous assistance of Austin Idol.. and now Tommy Rich wants to step in our way? The poor fool won't know what hit him..." (D+)

Bam Bam Bigelow defeats Brickhouse Brown by pinfall at 8:22 with a power bomb (D-, Brown off his game)

Jerry Lawler is interviewed backstage: "I'll tell you what, Lance.. Austin Idol is starting to get to me. I know he isn't here tonight, so I'm focusing all my frustration, all my rage on you Dutch Mantell. You are like a rock in my shoe that I can't get rid of. For the last few years, we've been fighting all over the US.. well.. payback's tonight, Dutch! And then Idol.. I'm coming for you..."

(Is Lawler starting to show frustration with the mindgames of Austin Idol? Starts to look like it!!, C Rating)

Sgt Slaughter is in the ring, waving the American flag before setting it in the corner... "Koloff! Bring your men out here, so we can get this going!"

Koloff, Mr Shima and Tarzan Goto come out and start beating up the Sarge! But it only lasts for a few seconds, before Tommy Rich and Bill Dundee make their way out to ringside, and knock the Russian and his japanese cohorts out of the ring! (E+)

Sgt Slaughter, Rich and Dundee defeat Koloff, Shima and Goto at 7:29 when Slaughter clotheslines Koloff over the top rope to the floor, and in the ring, Rich hits Shima with a Thesz Press (D+, Sarge off his game)

Slaughter, Rich, and Dundee jeer the fallen foreigners outside the ring, and proudly sing the Star Spangled Banner inside the ring! (D)

As for our main event, Jerry Lawler and Dutch Mantell had a wild brawl. Even by Memphis standards, this one was insane.. the referee kept trying to seperate the two men, but this was a drag out, knock out fight! Lawler had always at least tried to outwrestle his opponents, but this apparently wasn't a wrestling match to him, it was a street fight.

Finally, the referee tried to seperate the two men in the ropes who were throwing haymakers at each other, and BOTH men pushed the ref down to continue the fight!

The referee had no choice but to call for the bell, disqualifying both men, and the ringside people had to flood the ring to seperate Mantell and Lawler.. this one's not over folks by a long shot! (C rating)

Sellout crowd of 2000, C- Rating, should help us in the Great Lakes..

Maybe I can find my old HD that had TEW on it and just copy over the data files. I don't throw HD's out, so it's just a matter of finding it...

I can't remember what all of the various mods are but it looks like I've got "After the Fall" which seems to start in 2005.

There's also one in my d'loads called "One Ring Circus" (which I think is the basis for AtF above), not entirely sure if it's a complete version or not, don't think I ever used it.

2005 works for me! Could you zip up the data files for it and upload it somewhere (or shoot it to me via email)? Would be most appreciated...and it might even renew my declaration that if I met you I'd actually buy you a beer and be nice instead of having it degenerate .

PM me your email & I'll send it over later (all my websites are in a hell of a mess atm). Looks like the zipped file I d'loaded (which includes belt/logo) is about 3.7 mb, although I see a 646kb zip called "After the Fall 1.1" which I'm not sure but I think is some sort of tweak/update to it (same d'load date though it looks like some individual file changes).

I'll send 'em both, hopefully it'll work one way or the other.

I prepare to kill the Johnson-Boyd storyline as Boyd will be leaving the company the day after our usual Sunday show.. but pleased by the reaction to the Rich-Bigelow issues, I make that an official storyline.

Speaking of Rich, he had a pretty good run in his loan appearances, so far he teamed up with Wahoo McDaniel against the AWA's top heels, Sgt SLaughter and Nick Bockwinkle, and had a pair of failed attempts to gain the NWA World Heavyweight Title against Ric Flair (and on his way out, also lost to Tully Blanchard)

I decide to start offering a monthly Supercard, not on TV, but a chance to give a big show feel, let some of our lesser known wrestlers have a go, and more importantly, escape the one hour limit that we have on our TV show. Hard to focus everything in 60 minutes.

From the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium in South Carolina, it's

CWA Championship Wrestling (Week 4, March) Att:3,217 *SELL OUT*

Tommy Rich and Jerry Lawler come to the ring: Lawler told the world "Idol, the time for games is over. You and that no-good double crossing snake Bigelow are going to meet me and Wildfire in the ring tonight, and we're gonna get revenge on both of you! Oh, and Idol.. prepare for a rude surprise.. a rude, painful surprise!" (C+, the two storylines increase)

Rocky Johnson defeats Jonathan Boyd at 9:53 after a Johnson Shuffle. a disconsolate Boyd slumps in a corner, and the camera focuses on him as they go to commercial (D.. not the way I wanted the old-timer to go, even though I wanted Rocky to be dominant in the match to get a bit more of a rub)

Austin Idol is grinning as he talks with Lance Russell "Oh, the mind games are just beginning, Lance! Lawler doesn't know where he's coming or going, and I'm playing him like you would a guitar.. The game doesn't stop till I decide it's over, and it's only over when Lawler slinks out of the CWA with his yellow tail between his legs!"

Lance Russell interrupts: "Austin Idol, I've just been informed by the CWA Championship Committee that this wedensday at our monthly super card.. you will be defending the Southern Heavyweight Championship against.."

Idol re-interrupts: "Against Lawler? That's great! When I beat him, I can send him to the back of the line. I can promise you that he'll never get another Southern Heavyweight Championship shot again.. so come next week and see me.."

Lance Russell "Wait, Austin.. it's not Jerry Lawler.. It's "Wildfire" Tommy Rich!

Rich shows up behind Idol and Idol turns, sees Wildfire and freaks out, and goes running back stage, Wildfire grinning and plays to the crowd in the Ring! (C)

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Bill Dundee defeated Dirty Rhodes in 11:10 by pinfall with a Small Package. (D+)

Dutch Mantell is interviewed via tape: "Jerry! You have no match for this Wedensday, so why don't you and I get down town and dirty, huh? You set the stips, because I'm being paid good money to hurt you. Some Las Vegas dollar coins, if you know what I mean.. so if you want a piece of me, I'll see you next wedensday.. it'll be a nice way for you to retire after I hurt you!"

(C-, and confirmation that Austin Idol has paid off yet another top wrestler to make Jerry Lawler's life hell!)

In the main event of the evening, Idol and Bigelow took on Wildfire and the King, and this was a pretty good match, back and forth. The end came when Lawler was attacked by a strap wielding Dutch Mantell.. Rich tried to come to the aid of his partner, but was prevented by Bigelow and Idol, as the referee tried in vain to seperate Mantell and Lawler on the outside, Idol and Bigelow grabbed Rich and that mama's boy James E Cornette snuck into the ring with that tennis racket of his, but before Cornette could use it, Wildfire turned the situation around, smacking Idol and Bigelow's heads together, and the clonk of the two coconut-style craniums colliding could be heard in the cheap seats!. Cornette swung anyway, and Wildfire ducked, pulling it out of Cornette's hands, and just as he was about to use it on Idol...

The referee turned around, saw the loaded tennis racket in Rich's hands, Idol on the ground, and put two and two together... and to the jeers of the crowd, disqualified Rich and Lawler! (C+, Lawler off his game, Cornette did a good job. Storylines tick over)

A visibly angry Lawler slides back into the ring.

"Dutch Mantell, I knew you were slimy, but taking money from that Las Vegas loser idol? You want a fight,, You want to hit me with a leather strap? Fine. Next wedensday night, it'll be you and me, alright, in a strap match!"

THe crowd eats this up, despite the fact that they won't get to see it (B)

C rated show.

A slight issue before the SuperCard, Rocky Johnson was torquing people off back stage with his attitude.. I think he's upset that the feud with Boyd was short circuited.. well, that and the booking I had for him...

CWA April Supercard (Sell Out: 2,000 crowd, from the University Of Memphis Campus.. ((Come on, you thought I'd run the first supershow anywhere BUT Memphis? Call it a dollar-foolish but thematic move))

Pre-Super Card matches: (ie, get some underused folks a paycheck)

In an extremely short match, Boy Tony defeated Mark Starr in 4:52 by pinfall with a Small Package. (D-)
In an extremely short match, Dirty Rhodes defeated JT Southern in 4:02 by pinfall with a Piledriver.(D+)
In an extremely short match, Billy Joe Travis defeated The Hunter in 5:29 by pinfall with a Piledriver.(E+)

Main Card:

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Jeff Jarrett and Brickhouse Brown defeated Big Bubba & Goliath, Mr. Rising Sun & Tarzan Goto and Badd Company in 12:25; the order of elimination was Mr. Rising Sun & Tarzan Goto first, then Badd Company, and finally Big Bubba & Goliath. Jeff Jarrett and Brickhouse Brown unify the Southern and International Tag Team Titles (D)

Lawler came out and hyped up the crowd about the strap match they'd see, and the pain he'd inflict on Dutch Mantell.. and how he was dreaming about every time he'd hit Mantell with that leather strap, he'd be dreaming it was Austin Idol... (C+)

Austin Idol interviewed backstage (staying well away from the raging Lawler), and told everyone if they paid good money to see Tommy Rich take his Southern Heavyweight Title away.. well they should be going to the ticket office right now and demand their money back, because there's no way the belt's not going home with him, daddy-0! (B)

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Don Bass defeated Bill Dundee in 9:57 by pinfall with a Piledriver following interference from Dirty Rhodes. (Dirty Rhodes gets revenge on Bill Dundee for defeating him last week, but it's not going to be a storyline, Bass and Dundee just do not click, and it showed) (D-)

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Rocky Johnson in 12:49 by pinfall, illegally using the ropes for leverage. (D+) (The Bammer push continues!)

Mantell promises the world that they won't be seeing Jerry Lawler on TV this sunday night, but if they want to see him, they can go to the Memphis Hospital, because that's where Lawler's going to be, and Mantell's going to be a rich man... (C-)

In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Tommy Rich defeated Austin Idol in 19:22 by pinfall with a handful of tights. Tommy Rich wins the AWA Southern Heavyweight title. (Wait, Tommy Rich using tights? Well, against Idol, the fans lapped it up.. the look on Idol's face is priceless.. what will he do without his Southern Heavyweight Championship?) (C Rating)

Idol is throwing a fit in the ring, berating the ref, kicking the ropes, and basically getting in the way of the Championship celebration, finally Rich has had enough and slaps the taste out of Idol's mouth, sending him scurrying to the back... (C+)

In the cool-down match after that insanity, In an extremely poor match, Tommy Lane defeated Brian Knobbs in 7:50 by pinfall with a Powerbomb. (E+)

The fight between Lawler and Mantell was nuts. Both men wore "the crimson mask" during the match, and yes, the Strap was used frequently. Mantell had touched three corners and paused to yell at the fans before touching the fourth.. big mistake.

It's formulatic, but the crowd absolutely loves it.. Lawler pulls him back at the last second, starts throwing punches, drops the strap, throws the big knockdown punch, climbs the rope, drops the fist on him.. grins at the crowd, does it a second time, and then with 2,000 fans urging him on, lifts Mantell up, before spiking him RIGHT on his head with a piledriver, and it was just a procession from corner to corner at that point, but the crowd still exploded when Lawler touched the fourth corner.

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Jerry Lawler defeated Dutch Mantell in 21:25 when Jerry Lawler was the first to touch all the corners. (B-)

On his way out, Lawler yells to Lance Russell "Tell the Championship Committee that I don't want the title.. I want Austin Idol!" (and the crowd cheers) (C rating)

Ouch, Jim Crockett Promotions signs a PPV deal with CableVision. We're still regional, so we need to get up to cult, because sooner or later our rivals are going to hit national and then it's time to raid the smaller promotions like me.

Teaser: At least one new signing before our next card.. and a big announcement.. you don't want to miss it!

The good news is that Paul Diamond apparently wants to get in the good graces of everyone, and he does so by hitting a local liquor store before coming in, and bringing enough alcohol with him to "float a boat".

Don't drink and wrestle guys!

(ticks over the Chic v Double J storyline)

Main Card:
Bruce Prichard makes a formal announcement from the CWA Championship Committee. "While they are concerned about the tactics that Tommy Rich used to defeat Austin Idol for the Southern Heavyweight Championship, the referee's decision is, of course, final. However, Austin Idol does have a valid complaint. Therefore, starting tonight there will be an eight man tournament, to determine the #1 contender to the Southern Heavyweight Championship. The eight men have been told they are wrestling tonight, but not who." (D-)

In a #1 Contenders Quarterfinal Match, Dutch Mantell pinned King Cobra at 7:56 (King Cobra really off his game, D)

Jerry Lawler comes out, announces to the fans that he's in the tournament, and so is that no good snake in the grass Austin Idol, so he's hoping to get his hands on Idol and specifically.. "I'm not disrespecting the Southern Heavyweight Title. But right now, I want my hands around Austin Idol's throat more than anything. So I'm glad I'm in the tournament. Because that gives me the chance to face him!"

(Jerry Lawler, not caring about the title? Idol's tactics are getting to him!) (C)

In a #1 contender tournament quarter final, In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Bill Dundee in 10:25 by pinfall with a Power Bomb. (D+, Dundee off his game)

Wildfire Tommy Rich comes out and prepares to address the crowd, but before he can do more then thank the good fans of CWA for supporting him, Bam Bam Bigelow and James E Cornette come out...

Cornette: "Rich.. congratulations.. but here's a warning for you. I want that Southern Heavyweight Title in Cornette Incorporated. I don't care what I have to do, or what I have to have Bammer here do, the title is coming to where it belongs, to James E Cornette, Manager of Champions!) (D)

In a #1 contenders quarterfinal match, Austin Idol defeated Rocky Johnson by submission with a Las Vegas Leglock (D+)

The three main CWA announcers (Lance Russell, Paul Dangerously and Bruce Prichard) talk about the new signing that CWA has made.. a dangerous wrestler who has just returned from Japan, "Big" Scott Hall. They put over his size, and wrestling ability in the ring (D)

In the main event of the evening, In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Jerry Lawler defeated Dirty Rhodes in 9:43 by pinfall with a Piledriver. (C-)

Final rating: D+

We decide to push a series of weekly cards in the Great Lakes area, that saves the TV show for the more rabid fans in the South.

We also swing a couple trades with the AWA. We trade them Bam Bam Bigelow (for one appearance) and Billy Joe Travis for three appearances, and get Larry Zybysko (for one appearance) and Leon White (better known as Vader). They'll be appearing on our Weekly Great Lakes card since they have more name value with the fans there.

Weekly Super Show Results from the Patten Gymnasium

(sighs, Rocky Johnson again is stirring up shit back stage, nearly getting into a fight with Allen West this time I fine him, and he says he'll be more considerate. Let's hope so)

Larry Zbyszko has an interview in which he taunts Jerry Lawler.
"Jerry Lawler's mom wanted a girl, his father wanted a boy, and they were both satisfied! Austin Idol has offered me more money then any of you humanoids could ever imagine to take on Lawler in the cage tonight, and his pain is my gain!" (C+)

Lawler comes out and tells Zybysko "You're not Austin Idol. YOu're another roadblock thrown in my way. But I'm going through you, anyone else in that lockerroom, or anyone else in the world that gets in my way!" (C+)

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Leon White defeated Tommy Lane in 8:51 by pinfall with a Power Bomb. (E+)

Austin Idol comes out: "Lawler! I'm not scared of you! Get out here, and I can save me a bunch of money and take you right now".. Lawler complies, and gets the bum's rush from behind as Leon White and Scott Hall come out and beat him down, all while Idol cackles from the ring.. (C-.. storyline continues)

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Brickhouse Brown in 8:43 by pinfall with a Power Bomb. (D-, Brickhouse off his game)

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Dutch Mantell and Scott Hall defeated Rocky Johnson and Bill Dundee in 12:23 when Scott Hall defeated Rocky Johnson by pinfall with an Elevated Powerbomb (D+, Rocky off his game.. he's getting on my last nerve here)

Bam Bam Bigelow does an interview in which he challenges Tommy Rich. (D-, storyline tick)

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Austin Idol defeated King Cobra in 6:54 by submission with a Las Vegas Leglock. (D)

Lawler comes out and runs Idol off to the back. While the ring crew are setting up the cage, he tells the fans.. "They wanted me to go to the hospital to check things out. But I'm here. I said it before. I will go through anyone, anywhere I have to, to get my revenge on Austin Idol! (C+)

In a bout that had great heat and good action, Jerry Lawler defeated Larry Zbyszko inside a steel cage) 19:12 by pinfall with a Piledriver.(only a D+, I think I sent it a little too long)

D+, Angles helped out, helped our popularity in Great Lakes.

Scott Hall is in the ring with a microphone. He claims that he is so good that he cannot be defeated by anyone, and so he is making an open challenge for any wrestler on the roster to face him in a singles match. (D)

In an extremely short match, Scott Hall defeated JT Southern in 3:41 by pinfall with an Elevated Powerbomb (D+)

It was time for our #1 contenders tournament Semi-Final.. In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Austin Idol in 12:29 by pinfall with a Power Bomb following interference from Jerry Lawler. (C-)

Paul E Dangerously corrals a steaming Lawler.. "Jerry Lawler this is unlike you.. what has gotten into you.."

Lawler: "Paul..I can't go anywhere any more, because every time I do, one of Austin Idol's goons is waiting to make my life hell. I can't take it any more.. I'm going to do to him what he's done to me!"

Idol and Lawler's opponent tonight, Dutch Mantell storm the interview set and beat down Lawler, Idol spitting on the fallen form of Lawler. (C+)

Mantell stands in the ring, grinning as the bell rings, and the ref starts to count Lawler out.. but Lawler barely makes it to the ring, JUST beating the countout. Lawler and Mantell can't have a bad match it seems, and this one was pretty gosh darn good.. Lawler drops the big fist on Mantell, and here comes Austin Idol to finish the job!

Lawler stares outside the ring, frustrated, but Mantell pulls out a foreign object, and prepares to grab Lawler and knock him into next Tuesday, but Lawler's, ahem.. trick knee acts up, and unconsciously, he back kicks Mantell in.. a very sensitive space..

The ref turns around, sees Lawler covering.. 1.. 2...3! Jerry Lawler and Bam Bam Bigelow will fight for the right to face Tommy Rich at the May supershow for the SOuthern Heavyweight Championship.. so why does Lawler look a little regretful? (B-)

A hype video plays for next week's Bam Bam Bigelow-Jerry Lawler tournament final (C+)

Final Rating: C

Before our Weekly Supershow, we get word that Rocky Johnson has got into trouble YET AGAIN, he got into a heated argument with a fan outside the arena. He had to be dragged inside before he made it physical. That's three strikes.

The fans love him inside the ring generally, but he is a royal pain in the ass outside the ring, and he hasn't even been doing that well inside the ring lately. Well, time to drop the heavy end of the hammer. I tell him he's on his last chance. He's not going to be used tonight.... and if there's one more incident, he's getting fired.

He promises to try to control himself a little better next time.

I feel like saying "If there's a next time, it will also be a last time."

We do make two new signings, two guys for whom the sky is the limit, hopefully, that being Sting and Scott Steiner. We'll have them do some solo work and team together, see how that works.

Weekly Great Lakes Super Show: From the Midland Civic Arena in Illinois (ATT:1000 SOLD OUT)

In a match that had an average crowd reaction but featured terrible wrestling, Sting defeated Allen West in 9:06 by submission with a Scorpion Deathlock. (E+)

Austin Idol comes out and promises that if Jerry Lawler comes out, he will not be attacked. Lawler comes out (not without some trepidation, continually looking for attacks).

Idol hands Lawler a piece of paper. "This is a restraining order, Jerry Lawler. It states that if you put your hands upon me in a threatening manner, you will go directly to Jail! So, what do you think about that?"

Lawler asks "So if I punch you, I spend in the night in jail?"

Idol: "Yes you do, daddy-o.. what do you think about that!"

Lawler: "It'll be worth it.."

Idol dives out of the ring as Lawler goes chasing after him, and only a bunch of wrestlers from the back stop Lawler from breaking the restraining order. During the hubub, it's announced that both men will be allowed to choose each other's opponents tonight.. (C-)

In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Scott Hall defeated Scott Steiner in 11:16 by pinfall with an Elevated Powerbomb (D, Scott Hall was off his game, but introduced his new manager, Percival J Pringle III, who did some good work at ringside)

In a match that had an average crowd reaction but featured terrible wrestling, Brickhouse Brown and Jeff Jarrett defeated Lord Humongous and Goliath in 8:20 when Jeff Jarrett defeated Lord Humongous by submission with a Figure-Four Leglock. Jeff Jarrett and Brickhouse Brown make defence number 3 of their AWA Southern Tag Team titles. (E, the Chemistry has completely gone between Brown and Jarrett. Time to find a new team to put the title on...)

Jerry Lawler comes out, and his Austin Idol chosen opponent is, Leon Bull White! (C-)

Lawler stalks back stage after the match and finds Idol, drags him out to the ring, and floors him with one hellacious punch! (D+)

Idol, gets up and calls out the police "Arrest that man! Arrest Jerry Lawler! He's violated a restraining order!" Reluctantly, the police do arrest Lawler, and drag him out, Lawler struggling to get free, while Idol gloats in the ring (C-)

In the ring, Idol gloats.. "Well, since Jerry Lawler, that no good crook is off to jail where he belongs, I guess he can't choose an opponent for me, right? So I think I'll pick a ham and egger back there, and make him famous, daddy-o.. I choose.."

ATTEN-HUT!

The crowd loses its mind as Sgt Slaughter comes out..

"Idol! On his way out, Jerry Lawler asked me to teach you a lesson about respect.. so you stand right there in that ring, and I'll be right down there, and I'm gonna teach you some respect.. and THAT'S... an order..." (C-)

In a bout that had great heat and good action, Sgt. Slaughter defeated Austin Idol in 15:50 by submission with a Cobra Clutch. (C-)

Final Rating: D+, should increase our popularity..

I seem to be picking up people that may be good in real life. We sign a real green kid who's been working out of World Class, guy who goes by the name Mark Callous. (yes, the Undertaker). Let's see what this world is going to be like.

From the Almeris Arena in Dothan, Alabama it's time for

CWA Championship Wrestling (Week 3 April: Att: 3,000 SELL OUT)

Pre-Card:

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Allen West defeated Jeff Jarrett in 8:21 by pinfall with The Press-slam following interference from Chic Donovan. (D, the Storyline ticks over, West was off his game)

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Scott Hall defeated King Cobra in 7:46 by pinfall with an elevated Powerbomb. (D)

Main Card:

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Scott Steiner and Sting defeated Badd Company in 9:13 when Sting defeated Pat Tanaka by submission with a Scorpion Deathlock. (D-)

Dirty Rhodes comes to the ring and demands a rematch with Sgt Slaughter.. "Slaughter, you got lucky weeks ago, now I know all your tricks!" (C-)

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Sgt. Slaughter defeated Dirty Rhodes in 12:01 by submission with a Cobra Clutch. (C-, still good chemistry)

Jerry Lawler had an interview hyping his upcoming singles match with Bam Bam Bigelow. "I came up with an idea last week while I was sitting in jail thanks to that snake Austin Idol.. He values that Southern Heavyweight Championship more than anything.. if I hold it, he has to come to me.. So Bam Bam.. Tommy.. I want to win that belt!" (B)

In a bout that had great heat and great wrestling action, Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Jerry Lawler in 15:42 by pinfall with a Power Bomb, after Austin Idol ran in and attack Lawler. (C)

Idol speaks to the crowd: "You cost me a chance to regain MY heavyweight title, Lawler.. you made this personal, this ain't no game no more! At the super card, you want me? You GOT me. And just so we can't claim that the other person got lucky.. we're going to do it under Memphis Rules... No DQ.. No Count out, and the loser is going to be the man who cannot answer a ten count by the referee! (C+)

The two banter back and forth, to agree to the match (C+)

C rated show.

We bring back a couple more AWAers on talent trade (in our continuing attempt to get Great Lakes up to snuff to raise us to Cult)

Welcome back Larry Zybysko for three appearances and some Midnight Rocker Kid.. oh yeah, Shawn Michaels..

(One more card tonight, and then I'm gonna see what everybody thinks so far, who I should be pushing, etcetera)

Yes, the Sarge had had quite enough of ElectricLarryLand as he marched down to the ring, told Zybysko that a MAN accepted that things didn't go his way, and promised that if he faced Slaughter tonight, there won't be any pinfalls, instead he'll be screaming in the grasp of the Cobra Clutch! (C)
