MythicalMino's LWF

[Minotaur]

Well....I really didn't like how I was running things with my Legends fed from earlier...The main issue I was having, was it wasn't really meaningful for someone to win a title (another reason for this change, was because the fed was just too much like my GWF fed. It felt like I was running the same thing, but with different characters, so I was getting VERY bored with it). So, after chatting on the boards with someone about it, I have adopted a way to make my Championships important. I think this will allow my Titles to hold some prestige, but also give me plenty of room for feuds and angles to develop. Basically, there will be an "unoffical, unannounced" tournament held. The TV Champion automatically gets placement in the tournament. The tournament will be held over the course of 2-3 cards, with the "winner" getting a United States title shot. For a wrestler to get a World title shot, he would have to defend the US title 3 consecutive times. In other words...for a wrestler to get a World Title shot, he would have to have a good streak behind him. I think this will allow my titles (US and World) to be "worth" something. Also, it allows me plenty of room to develop angles and all, with the central theme being to win the World Title (the way wrestling SHOULD be).




Also, if any of you have any questions about this "system", fell free to ask. In fact, I would like for someone to ask me, that way I can try to iron out any unforseen problems before they happen

[Minotaur]

I have decided to do a reboot of the fed. The reason is because I have started out with way too many wrestlers to start out with. So, I dropped the roster down to only 28 (I think) with 3 managers.

Below is my roster. Note that there are no actual stables or anything...the closest it comes is tag teams at the moment.

1. Road Warrior Hawk
2. Road Warrior Animal
3. Jimmy Valiant
4. Johnny Valiant
5. Nikolai Volkov
6. Iron Sheik
7. Ted DiBiase
8. Johnny Valentine
9. Harley Race
10. Killer Kowalski
11. The Destroyer
12. Frank Gotch
13. Giant Baba
14. Buddy Rogers
15. Nick Bockwinkel
16. Gorgeous George
17. Bobo Brazil
18. Jimmy Snuka
19. King Kong Bundy
20. Playboy Buddy Rose
21. The Sandman
22. Ox Baker
23. Greg Valentine
24. Buff Bagwell
25. Brutus Beefcake
26. Antonio Inoki
27. Dick Hutton

LWF Heritage TV 8-Man Tournament, Round One

1. The opening match of the LWF pitted Bobo Brazil taking on Greg “The Hammer” Valentine in a first round match for the LWF Heritage TV Title Tournament. Valentine took the jump on Brazil, nailing him with a clothesline, following up with a falling elbow hammer. Valentine continued his assault, locking Brazil in his FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, but Brazil made it to the ropes for the break. Valentine then irish whipped Brazil into the ropes, but on the rebound, Brazil blasted Valentine with a clothesline, following up with a big Bobo body slam. Brazil then tossed Valentine into the buckles, and followed up with a crisp running clothesline. Brazil quickly followed up with the COCO BUTT for the pin. Winner: Bobo Brazil over Greg Valentine via pinfall after the COCO BUTT.

2. The next match up was between two of the LWF’s biggest men, King Kong Bundy and Ox Baker. A big battle between these two men…as each clothesline literally shook the arena. Finally, Bundy took full control, after smashing Baker’s head into the steel ring post on the outside. Bundy nailed a running power slam, then hit the AVALANCHE…and of course, demanded a 5-count. Winner: King Kong Bundy defeats Ox Baker by pinfall after the AVALANCHE.

3. The next match was a total clash of styles, as the hardcore icon, The Sandman, faced off against Gorgeous George Wagner (w/ Cherie Dupre). Wagner looked pretty good in the ring, until Sandman caught him in a HARDCORE DDT. Sandman tossed Wagner to the outside, where Sandman was DQ’d for using his Singapore cane on Wagner. Winner: Gorgeous George over The Sandman via DQ.

4. The next match was Playboy Buddy Rose taking on “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka. Rose took control at first, but Snuka quickly turned things around, ending the match with the SUPERFLY LEAP for the pin. Winner: Jimmy Snuka over Playboy Buddy Rose via the SUPERFLY LEAP.

LWF Heritage TV 8-Man Tournament, Semi-Finals

Before the Semi-Finals started, Lance Russell & Bobby Heenan recapped the matches so far: Brazil over Valentine via the COCO BUTT; Bundy def. Baker via the AVALANCHE; Gorgeous George escapes The Sandman via DQ; Jimmy Snuka dominates Rose by way of the SUPERFLY LEAP.

5. The next match was Bobo Brazil taking on another 1st Round winner, King Kong Bundy. Bundy hit the AVALANCHE early, but Brazil was able to kick out. Brazil fought back, landing a big hammer punch, followed up with a falling elbow for the pin. Winner: Bobo Brazil over King Kong Bundy via pinfall.

6. The next match was Gorgeous George Wagner (w/ Cherie Dupre) vs. “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka. Snuka was coming off a dominating win over Buddy Rose, while Wagner barely made it out of the 1st Round by DQ over The Sandman. Great match. As it started out, it looked like a normal match, until Wagner subtly pulled the ref in front of a flying Snuka. While Snuka checked on the ref, Wagner landed a low blow, then went on the assault. After locking on the SPINNING TOE HOLD, along with his Gorgeous Grip sleeper, for several moments, another referee ran out to finish officiating the match. Snuka was able to fight back after a leap frog and a chop. Snuka nailed the SUPERFLY LEAP, but before the ref could count the pinfall, Buddy Rose ran out. But, instead of interfering, Snuka gave Wagner & Rose a noggin knocker!! Snuka then nailed a backbreaker, but this time, Cherie Dupre distracted the referee. Snuka climbed the buckles for the SUPERFLY LEAP, but missed, setting up Wagner to lock on the SPINNING TOE HOLD, forcing Snuka to tap out. Winner: Gorgeous George over Jimmy Snuka via submission after applying the SPINNING TOE HOLD.

LWF Heritage TV 8-Man Tournament, Finals

Before the final match for the LWF Heritage TV Title Tournament, Gorgeous George came out for a brief interview. Wagner said that he is ready to defeat Brazil, after all, he has defeated 2 of the most disgusting and savage men in wrestling, The Sandman & Jimmy Snuka. He says that Brazil will just be another man down.

Next out came Bobo Brazil, the other finalist in the tournament. Brazil said that he is going to step into the ring, and show Gorgeous George what the meaning of a wrestling match really is….Brazil said that he himself has defeated one of the most powerful men in wrestling, King Kong Bundy….and George Wagner is not a big man!!

7. The final match in the tournament to crown the LWF Heritage TV Champion was next, as Bobo Brazil faced Gorgeous George Wagner (w/ Cherie Dupre). Wagner was on top of his game, as he kept locking on the SPINNING TOE HOLD all throughout the match. Brazil was able to put on some offense, but Cherie Dupre interfered, distracting Brazil. This gave Wagner the chance he needed, as he locked on the Gorgeous Grip. After several moments, Wagner, again, locked on the SPINNING TOE HOLD, forcing Brazil to tap out. Winner: (LWF Heritage TV Title Tournament, Finals) Gorgeous George **NEW CHAMPION** defeats Bobo Brazil by submission via the SPINNING TOE HOLD.

Match of the Night: Gorgeous George vs. Jimmy Snuka (Gorgeous George over Jimmy Snuka with the SPINNING TOE HOLD)

SHOW RATING: 5.4 points

LWF Grand Opening Event

Card #2



Lance Russell & Bobby “The Brain” Heenan start off the show.



Lance: Hello, everyone….we are back for night 2 of the LWF Grand Opening….last night we saw the Heritage TV Champion crowned…I want to take moment and congratulate Gorgeous George. He went the distance….and he is now the Heritage TV Champion.



Heenan: That’s right, Russell….and don’t you forget it….Gorgeous George overcame some tough guys, and he has accomplished what he deserved to have…the LWF Heritage Television Championship.



Lance: Well…tonight, we have an even bigger tournament…4 tag teams line up…but only one can walk out of this arena tonight as the LWF World Tag Team Champions. The two teams that make it to the finals, the team that loses that match will be awarded the United States Tag Team Titles, basically placing them at the #1 Contender’s spot for the World Tag Team Titles. It is going to be intense, folks…so lets get right to it….



LWF World Tag Team Title 4-Team Tournament, Round One



1. The opening match, and the opening match of the tournament, was The Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) (w/ Paul Ellering) taking on The Valiants (Jimmy & Johnny Valiant). The Road Warriors stormed the ring as they typically do. The match spilt to the outside, where all of a sudden, Captain Lou Albano, walked out….distracting the referee while Johnny Valiant brutalized Animal with a chair. The Valiants went on to use some double-teaming tactics (double clothesline & choking Animal with the tag rope). Jimmy Valiant, though, was actually DQ’d when he used the ring bell on Animal. Both teams continued to brawl after the bell was called. Winner: The Road Warriors over The Valiants by DQ.



2. The next match was the Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff (w/ Nikita Breznikov) taking on “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase & Virgil. This was a squash match, as Sheik & Volkoff just DOMINATED DiBiase, never letting him tag out. DiBiase was a bloody mess by the end of the match. Iron Sheik kicked DiBiase with his loaded boot at least twice, and both Sheik & Volkoff nailed DiBiase with a double face-first suplex. Finally, Iron Sheik locked DiBiase in the CAMEL CLUTCH, forcing DiBiase to tap out. Winner: Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff defeats Ted DiBiase & Virgil when Iron Sheik forced DiBiase to submit to the CAMEL CLUTCH.



3. The next match was for the LWF World Tag Team Championship…and as such, it was a Texas Death Best 2/3 Falls Match. The first fall saw Hawk and Iron Sheik trade holds and punches…until Animal was tagged in. The Warriors then leveled Iron Sheik with a double clothesline, then immediately after that, a spike piledriver. 2 consecutive DOOMSDAY DEVICES were broken up after Volkoff made the save. Volkoff was then tagged in, and he was able to hit a string of offense on Animal, but lost control of the match, as a DOOMSDAY DEVICE to him was enough to put him down for the 3 count. The second fall saw both teams trade offense back and forth, with the Iron Sheik locking on the CAMEL CLUTCH on Animal, forcing him to tap out. The third fall was chaotic, as the fight went to the outside several times. Breznikov got involved, but it only postponed the end result, as the Road Warriors hoisted Volkoff up for the DOOMSDAY DEVICE and the pin. (NOTE: Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff were awarded the US Tag Team Titles) Winner: The Road Warriors **NEW CHAMPIONS** over Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff 2 Falls to 1 Fall.



After the match, the Valiants stormed down to the ring and attacked the Road Warriors!! The Road Warriors tried to put up a fight, until the Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff joined in!! It was now a 6 on 3, as the World Tag Team Champions were beaten down…until Dusty Rhodes and Bobo Brazil ran out, chasing The Valiants, Albano, Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff & Nikita Breznikov out of the ring…



Match of the Night: The Road Warriors vs. The Valiants (Road Warriors over The Valiants by DQ)



SHOW RATING: 8 pts (+2.6 points)

Lance: Hello….we have had some great wrestling….but tonight will be for the big one, Brain.



Heenan: We might as well just call it a night right now….Russell, Nick Bockwinkel will leave here the LWF World Champion.



Lance: Well, he will have to tear through 7 other men, Brain, to get to that title….and these men are just as hungry as Bockwinkel is, I’m sure….

LWF World Heavyweight Title 8-Man Tournament

1. The opening match of the LWF World Title Tournament was Johnny Valentine vs. Harley Race. Valentine and Race both really put on a great match. Neither man had any real control, in that all that could be done was to wait for the first man to make a mistake…and Johnny Valentine made that mistake. A missed turnbuckle charge sent him shoulder first into the steel post. Race followed up with the PILEDRIVER for the pin. Winner: Harley Race over Johnny Valentine via the PILEDRIVER.



2. The next match was Killer Kowalski taking on The Destroyer….the monster Kowalski vs. the “thinking man’s champion” The Destroyer. The Destroyer quickly went to work on Kowalski’s legs, taking him down. The Destroyer quickly climbed the buckles for a deathjump…and the pin. Winner: The Destroyer defeats Killer Kowalski via pinfall after a deathjump.



3. The next match up was Frank Gotch stepping into the ring with the Japanese Giant, Giant Baba. Gotch dispatched Baba with professional ease, as he was able to fluidly slide from his rolling knee bar into the GOTCH TOEHOLD, forcing Giant Baba to tap out. Winner: Frank Gotch defeats Giant Baba with the GOTCH TOEHOLD.



4. The next match was Nick Bockwinkel taking on the “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers. Rogers started out with the offense, but Bockwinkel was able to turn the tide. The fight spilt to the outside, where both men were DQ’d. NOTE: Frank Gotch gets a bye to the finals of the Tournament due to the double DQ. Winner: Nick Bockwinkel and Buddy Rogers battled to a double DQ outside the ring.



LWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament, Semi-Finals



5. The next match was Harley Race stepping inside the ring against The Destroyer. Good match. The Destroyer was in control for most of it, but all it took was one strong opening for Race to nail the PILEDRIVER for the pin. Winner: Harley Race over The Destroyer via pinfall after the PILEDRIVER.



**Frank Gotch receives a bye into the Finals**



LWF World Heavyweight Title Tournament, Finals



6. The match for the LWF World Title was between Frank Gotch and Harley Race in a Texas Death Best 2/3 Falls Match. The first fall consisted of Race hitting several PILEDRIVERS until Gotch finally was put down for the 3 count. The second fall saw Gotch come out of his corner strong, even locking on the GOTCH TOEHOLD, but Race was able to get to the ropes. Race was then able to fight his way back, gaining control…and nailing the PILEDRIVER once again for the pinfall. NOTE: Frank Gotch was awarded the US Title. Winner: (LWF World Title: Texas Death Best 2/3 Falls Match) Harley Race **NEW CHAMPION** defeats Frank Gotch 2 Falls to 0 Falls.

Card #4



The show starts up with clips from last week’s LWF World Title Tournament Final…the ending of two falls in the Best 2/3 Falls match: Race pinning Gotch after several PILEDRIVERS…Gotch locking the GOTCH TOEHOLD, followed up with another Race PILEDRIVER for the pin.



Lance Russell & Bobby “The Brain” Heenan are standing at the announcers podium, as they (Lance Russell) welcomes everyone to the first edition of World Wide Wrestling on Legends Television.



Heenan: All I have to say…is Nick Bockwinkel SHOULD be the World Champion. He was robbed in that tournament when Buddy Rogers caused a disqualification!! Tonight, all you idiot humanoids will witness the utter destruction of Buddy Rogers, as the #1 athlete in the world will wrestler Rogers….Nick Bockwinkel.



Lance: Well, Brain…I am not too sure about who will win that match…both men are so close in skill. They fought to a double disqualification last week at the Tournament…and tonight, they will meet once more….But also tonight, we will see the Road Warriors, Hawk & Animal, in 6-man tag team action, as they team up with their manager, “Precious” Paul Ellering….



Heenan: Yeah, so what….the big, bad Road Warriors will get what their due, as the Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff, along with their brilliant mastermind of a manager, Nikita Breznikov, will finally eliminate the so-called “power” of Chicago’s tough guy stooges, the Road Warriors.



Lance: Well, we will see what happens in just a little bit. Also, a new tag team as formed up: Killer Kowalski & King Kong Bundy have joined forces and have formed a team called the Monsters of the Mat….both men are BIG men, and it will be interesting to see if they can truly live up to their names….and, the Main Event will be a rematch for the LWF Heritage TV Championship, as America’s Favorite Son, Bobo Brazil, will be challenging Gorgeous George Wagner for that TV Title….all that and much more…..



Heenan starts rambling again about how Nick Bockwinkel was cheated in his match last week vs. Buddy Rogers, as the show goes to commercial break….



1. The opening match was “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes, making his LWF debut against Playboy Buddy Rose. Rose attacked Rhodes as he entered the ring, hitting punches and kicks, setting up for a brainbuster. Rose then climbed the buckles and nailed his BOMBS AWAY knee drop, but Rhodes was able to kick out. Rose made the mistake of tossing Dusty to the outside, where Big Dust slammed him face-first into the steel ring post. Dusty continued his assault, nailing the BIONIC ELBOW DROP, before tossing the Playboy back inside the ring. Dusty locked on the SLEEPER, but Rose was able to make it to the ropes after several moments in the hold. Rose was groggy, as Dusty landed several huge shoulder smashes, following up with the picture-perfect vertical suplex. Rose scrambled to the outside, where Dusty followed, only to be smashed with the ring bell, causing a disqualification. Winner: Dusty Rhodes over Playboy Buddy Rose via DQ.



After the match, Buddy Rose climbed in the ring, and started strip-tease dancing (all out of shape 271 lbs of him), as the fans (especially the female fans) booed him. Dusty Rhodes recovered on the outside, and slid back in the ring, and obliterated Rose with his own dancing punches, followed up with his spinning hand smash and elbow clobberin’ sending Buddy Rose over the top ropes and to the floor!!!



Dusty Rhodes made his way to the announce area for a post-match interview with Lance Russell (Heenan refused to stand in the same general area with Dusty). Before Lance could start the interview, Dusty begins talking….



Rhodes: Let me just say somethin’….The American Dream….I come out here….I come out here for a purpose, a reason, if you will….Dusty Rhodes don’t back down from nobody…you understand me….nobody…spell that out….Buddy Rose starts dancing like he won a contest….he didn’t win a damn thing….I showed him that….Buddy Rose, if you want another match with the Dream, then bring it on, cause Dusty Rhodes don’t back down from nobody….Now, to talk about the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff….the LWF United States Tag Team Champions….yeah, I know you two big boys are the champs….but let me tell you somethin’, brutha….me and my tag team partner, Bobo Brazil, we are gonna stomp you two America-hating nobodies into the ground, if ya will….Now Lance, you lookin’ mighty good in that suit, you must be making some good money….but I know that the American Dream comes out here for matches, and the match ends in a disqualification. The Dream don’t like disqualifications….and the Dream don’t like prancin’ ponies, neither…..so, Playboy Buddy Rose….I tell you now, son, bring your fightin’ to the ring anytime you want a good butt-whuppin'…Dusty Rhodes style….Texas Death style….lets see how well a prancing pony does in the ring with a bull, if ya will….

2. The next match was High Stylin’ (Brutus Beefcake & Buff Bagwell) taking on the Valiant Brothers (“Handsome” Jimmy Valiant & “Luscious” Johnny Valiant) (w/ Captain Lou Albano). Good match, as High Stylin’ came VERY close to taking the pin after Bagwell hit the BUFF BLOCKBUSTER on Johnny Valiant, but Albano distracted the referee, causing the pinfall to be broken. The Valiants fought back, and hit some strong double team moves, cutting Beefcake off from his partner, Bagwell, hitting the TOP ROPE ELBOW and double dropping axe handles. Beefcake fought back, but was not able to establish any real momentum. Jimmy Valiant hit his SUPER ELBOW, but Bagwell tried to break the pinfall, only to be smashed head to head with Beefcake. Valiant went for the pin, taking the match. An interesting note during the match, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase and his bodyguard, Virgil, came out to the announce area, as DiBiase claimed he was scouting possible future employees. Winner: The Valiants defeat High Stylin’ by pinfall.



After the match, Albano ordered his men to commanded his men to “bust these two pretty boy losers up….BAD!!!” The Valiants went on a rampage, smashing the downed Beefcake & Bagwell with chairs. After the brutal beating, Albano grabbed the mic. He said that his team, the Valiants, were coming for the Road Warriors, and would end the tough guy chumps World Tag Team Title reign….



3. The next match was another tag team match, with two teams not seen before in the LWF, as the Monsters of the Mat (Killer Kowalski & Ox Baker) took on Mount Fuji (Antonio Inoki & Giant Baba). Lance made mention that Mount Fuji is Japan’s tallest mountain, and that the team of Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba are considered two of Japan’s top competitors, and thus, the tag team, Mount Fuji, referring to the very top of Japanese wrestling….Heenan made the comment that Giants can climb mountains in just a few steps, as the Monsters of the Mat will prove….The Monsters of the Mat took the fight to the Japanese stars, with their offense culminating in Baker nailing Inoki with his dreaded HEART PUNCH, but Inoki fought back, nailing a spinning reverse heel kick on the rebounds of an Irish whip into the ropes. Inoki then somehow leveled Baker with a belly to back suplex. The tag to Giant Baba ended the match after Baba laid out Baker with the NECKBREAKER DROP for the pin. Winner: Mount Fuji over the Monsters of the Mat via pinfall after Giant Baba hit the NECKBREAKER DROP on Ox Baker.



LWF World Heavyweight Champion, Harley Race, walked out to the announce area for a scheduled interview. Race said that he proved that he truly is the best in the sport of professional wrestling, and that the critics can all “go to hell” as far as he is concerned. As far as Frank Gotch goes….Race says that he beat him 2 falls to none, that makes Gotch a never-was. Race says that there is no way that Gotch will be able to defend that US Title two more times, simply because he lost his match to get that title. Race says that he is the Champion, and that he will stay the Champion, and there isn’t anything that Gotch, nor anyone else will ever be able to do about it.



4. The next match was the 6-Man Tag Team Match between the Road Warriors & “Precious” Paul Ellering and Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff & Nikita Breznikov. Lance Russell explains that all LWF 6+ Man tag team matches are survivor series rules, that is, the match goes until there is no longer any opposition left on the opposing team. The first elimination came when Iron Sheik & Animal were brawling on the outside, and Animal lost control, and was disqualified for smashing Sheik into the ring bell. The next elimination saw a lot of fighting, as Hawk & Ellering just beat on Volkoff. Somehow, though, Volkoff refused to give in, fought back, and was able to make a defensive tag to his manager, Nikita Breznikov (thinking he was reaching Iron Sheik). Breznikov was quickly dispatched, after a double clothesline by Hawk & Ellering, and then with Ellering locking on the FULL NELSON, forcing Breznikov to submit. The next elimination saw Volkoff and Iron Sheik man-handle Ellering, as Iron Sheik nailed him with a sidewinder suplex, then locked on the CAMEL CLUTCH. After a few moments, Ellering didn’t tap out, Iron Sheik just simply nailed him with a kick from his loaded boot, eliminating Ellering. This left only Hawk to challenge the US Tag Team Champions. The next elimination saw Hawk put up a valiant fight against the US Champions, but he went for a back body drop at the wrong time, allowing Iron Sheik to blast him with his loaded boot, sending Hawk to the mat for the 3-count. Winners: (6-Man Tag Team Match) Iron Sheik &Nikolai Volkoff (LWF US Tag Team Champions), Nikita Breznikov defeated The Road Warriors (LWF World Tag Team Champions) & Paul Ellering with Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff being the final survivors.



After the match, Iron Sheik & Volkoff continued their assault on Hawk. Animal & Paul Ellering ran back out, but was jumped by the Valiants!! As Albano & Breznikov shouted out commands to their men to maim the Champions and their manager, Dusty Rhodes & Bobo Brazil ran out for the save!!! A wild 15-minute brawl between all the men involved forced several officials (and several security guards) to break up the 10+ men….



5. The next match was Johnny Valentine taking on the massive King Kong Bundy. Bundy, to the shock of Lance Russell and Bobby Heenan, was accompanied to the ring by Ox Baker & Killer Kowalski, the Monsters of the Mat tag team. Bundy had the match won, after he obliterated Valentine with the AVALANCHE, but he demanded his 5-count, in which, Johnny Valentine was able to kick out. Valentine was bloodied by the end of it, but kept fighting back. Finally, Bundy missed another AVALANCHE turnbuckle charge. Valentine followed up with his ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHER. Ox Baker & Killer Kowalski climbed in the ring. Kowalski tossed the referee over the top rope, as Baker leveled Valentine with his HEART PUNCH. With the ref out of it, the 3 triple-teamed Valentine, as Bundy crushed Valentine with several AVALANCHES, until his son, Greg Valentine, ran out for the save….Bundy grabbed the mic as he, Kowalski, and Baker walked to the back.



Bundy: Let the wrestling world quake and tremble!!!! Let the wrestling world fear and run in horror!!!! Let the wrestling world welcome….the Triple Towers of Terror!!!!



Before the next match, a promo was shown of The Destroyer….



(smoke & fog fill the screen….out of the smoke and fog walks a masked man…The Destroyer….)



Destroyer: Who is The Destroyer? Who is this masked man that so many envy? Who is the savior of professional wrestling? The man that dons the mask….is no longer Dick Beyer….no, that man died…and in his place…the most intelligent, sensational wrestler to step inside the ropes….The Destroyer….



(smoke & fog begin to surround The Destroyer…as the screen fades…)



6. The next match was “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka taking on The Destroyer. The Destroyer’s entrance filled the studio arena with smoke, as the masked man made his way to the ring. Surprisingly, Jimmy Snuka was simply dismantled by The Destroyer, as Snuka was locked in the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, and forced to tap out. Winner: The Destroyer over Jimmy Snuka via the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK.

7. The next match was a rematch from the tournament, as “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers took on Nick Bockwinkel. Good match, but Rogers wasn’t able to really get any momentum, though. Bockwinkel controlled the match, ending it when he locked Rogers in the BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER, putting Rogers down for a nap. Winner: Nick Bockwinkel over Buddy Rogers via submission with the BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER.



8. In the Main Event, Bobo Brazil challenged Heritage TV Champion, Gorgeous George Wagner (w/ Cherie Dupre) for the TV Title. Brazil came out to the ring to the sounds of cheers. Wagner came out to the ring, strutting while the fans threw paper cups at him. Cherie Dupre commenced to spraying down the ring, the official, and Bobo Brazil. Brazil raised his arms, telling Dupre to make sure she gets his underarms (which Dupre made a disgusted face). Wagner started the match out strong, but Brazil turned things around after Wagner was slammed from off the top buckles. Brazil and Wagner fell to the outside, where Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff & Nikita Breznikov ran out. While Breznikov argued with the referee (effectively distracting him), Volkoff nailed Brazil from behind with a forearm to the back, setting up Iron Sheik to level Brazil with his loaded boot!! Volkoff and Iron Sheik rolled Brazil back inside the ring, where a recovered Gorgeous George viciously locked on his SPINNING TOE HOLD. The referee called for the bell when an unconscious Brazil’s arm fell to the mat 3 times. Winner: (LWF Heritage TV Title Match) Gorgeous George defeats Bobo Brazil by submission via the SPINNING TOE HOLD.

Card #5



Clips are shown from last week at he opening of the show: Dusty Rhodes making his LWF in-ring debut….Dusty smashing Buddy Rose with the elbow clobberin’, sending Rose out of the ring after their match….Bundy announcing the formation of The Triple Towers of Terror (Bundy, Baker & Kowalski) after their beatdown of Johnny Valentine….US Tag Team Champions, Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff being the survivors in their 6-man tag team match vs. the Road Warriors & Paul Ellering….and the following brawl between the Road Warriors, Bobo Brazil & Dusty Rhodes, Iron Sheik & Volkoff, and the Valiants….and finally ending with Gorgeous George Wagner defeating Bobo Brazil, successfully defending the LWF Heritage TV Title….



Lance: Let me tell you….we have a great show for you tonight….



Heenan: That’s right, humanoids….tonight, Nick Bockwinkel, the greatest athlete in the history of this world, will win the Heritage TV Title from Gorgeous George….



Lance: Well, he will get his shot at Gorgeous George, but after seeing the champion in action last week taking on Bobo Brazil….it could be a tough match….



Heenan: You are just showing your bias against Bockwinkel, Russell….Bockwinkel will leave here tonight at the TV Champion.



Lance: We will also be hearing from the United States Champion, Frank Gotch….I am sure he will have some words for World Champion, Harley Race….also, later tonight…the tag team of Dusty Rhodes & Bobo Brazil will be stepping into the ring to challenge the United States Tag Team Champions, Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff in a non-title match….



Heenan: I am betting my money on Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff….and if anyone out there is smart, you would be placing your bets right now….Dusty Rhodes is nothing but a fat, over weight nobody, and Brazil shouldn’t even be permitted to wrestle….



Lance: Well…we will see, like I said fans, we have a great show heading your way…..



1. The opening match was Playboy Buddy Rose taking on Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. Good match, as both men just hammered each other. Valentine, though, was able to lock on the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK after smashing Rose headfirst into the steel ring post on the outside, forcing Rose to tap out. During the match, Ted DiBiase (and bodyguard, Virgil) came out to the announce area. DiBiase again claimed that he was scouting possible future employees. When Valentine locked on the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, DiBiase gave his patented laugh, said “this match is over”, then left to the back. Winner: Greg Valentine defeats Playboy Buddy Rose via the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK.



After the match, Greg Valentine made his way to the announce area for a post-match interview. Lance Russell asked him if he knew why DiBiase was out here during his match. Valentine said that it was probably because DiBiase wanted to see what a future World Champion looked like. Valentine said that he doesn’t have the time to worry about DiBiase, anyways. He says that he has been trying to get hold of his dad, Johnny Valentine, but the “old man” hasn’t returned his phone calls. He says that he is wanting to form a tag team with him, but if Johnny Valentine can’t be bothered, then why should he?



2. The next match was a tag team match, as new tag team, Simple Men (Red Bastien & Richard Hutton) took on High Stylin’ (Brutus Beefcake & Buff Bagwell). As Hutton & Bastien made their way out to the ring, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man played over the speakers. In stark comparison, Beefcake & Bagwell came out to “cheap stripper/porn music”, dancing for the crowd (the ladies seemed to love it, but the men booed like crazy). A decent match, with the Simple Men not really in danger of losing the match. A double face first suplex to Bagwell would have been it, but Beefcake made the save, but was quickly taken out of the ring by a flying dropkick by Bastien. Hutton then nailed Bagwell with a Cowboy backbreaker, taking the pin. Again, Ted DiBiase came out to the announce area to “scout”, but would refuse to say who he was “scouting”. Winner: Simple Men over High Stylin’ via pinfall.

In the back, Captain Lou Albano is talking to Jimmy Snuka. Snuka appears to be annoyed, but is listening, as Albano (flanked by The Valiants) is telling him he needs to go back to his cultural roots…he needs to get vicious…he needs to get mean….he needs to get savage….he needs to drop this “fan-favorite, @$$ kissing, ‘Superfly’ crap….and needs to take on a persona that will instill fear into his opponents”. Albano tells him that when he is ready to be Championship Caliber material, to come see him, then turns and leaves….leaving Snuka alone, with a hint of wildness touching his eyes….



3. The next match was King Kong Bundy taking on The Sandman. Kowalski & Baker came out to the ring with Bundy. Both men ended up on the outside, where both were disqualified. Winner: Sandman and King Kong Bundy battled to a double DQ outside the ring.



After the match, the Triple Towers of Terror continued their assault on Sandman. Kowalski grabbed hold of Sandman’s Singapore cane, and began smashing Sandman with it, bloodying him up. Baker then leveled him with the HEART PUNCH. They propped him up in the corner (Kowalski held a choke hold with the Singapore cane) while Bundy crushed Sandman with 3 consecutive AVALANCHES. Bundy then splashed Sandman, while Baker performed the “5-count”. The Triple Towers of Terror stood over the broken Sandman, arms raised….



4. The next match was “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka taking on “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers. Buddy Rogers came out to the ring. But, Snuka never showed up….giving the match to Rogers via a no-show. Winner: Buddy Rogers over Jimmy Snuka via Snuka doing a No-Show.



5. The next match was for the #1 Contenders spot to the LWF United States Tag Team Title, currently held by Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff, as Mount Fuji (Antonio Inoki & Giant Baba) faced off against The Valiants (“Handsome” Jimmy & “Luscious” Johnny Valiant). Captain Lou Albano accompanied his men, The Valiants, to the ring. Great match between these two teams. It started out with Baba dominating Johnny Valiant, until they fell to the outside. Albano distracted the referee as Johnny smashed Baba with a chair. Baba was able to tag out to Inoki, but Inoki was just brutalized by the Valiants, as they hit the TOP ROPE ELBOW, along with a double clothesline. Jimmy Valiant nailed the SUPER ELBOW, but Baba made the save. Inoki was double teamed for several more minutes, but was able to blast Johnny with the ENZUIGIRI, and tag out. Baba landed several Baba chops, finally locking Johnny in a bear hug, forcing him to tap out (while Inoki and Jimmy Valiant fought outside the ring. Winner: (LWF United States Tag Team #1 Contenders Match) Mount Fuji over The Valiants via submission.



6. The next match was the LWF United States Tag Team Non-Title Match between America’s Boys (Dusty Rhodes & Bobo Brazil) and Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff (LWF US Tag Champs) (w/ Nikita Breznikov). Iron Sheik & Volkoff came out to a huge sound of boos, as Iron Sheik waved the Iranian flag, and Volkoff sang the Russian National Anthem to the Russian flag, while Nikita Breznikov held the flag high up. Dusty Rhodes & Bobo Brazil came out to the sound of John Mellencamp’s “Small Town”, as the arena erupted in cheers. In a shocking match, Iron Sheik & Volkoff dominated Bobo Brazil to win the match, after Iron Sheik locked on the CAMEL CLUTCH. Winner: (LWF US Tag Team Non-Title Match) Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff (US Tag Team Champions) over America’s Boys via submission when Brazil tapped out to the Iron Sheik’s CAMEL CLUTCH.



Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff continued their attack after the bell, beating down Brazil & Dusty….until the Road Warriors ran out for the save, chasing Iron Sheik & Volkoff (along with Breznikov) out of the ring.



7. The next match was Johnny Valentine taking on The Destroyer. For The Destroyer’s entrance, the arena entrance was clouded with smoke, as The Destroyer walked through the mist. Valentine was waiting for him in the ring, as Destroyer climbed inside. Johnny Valentine seemed distracted the entire match, as Destroyer was just able to…well, destroy, Johnny Valentine. Valentine never really had any offense, as the Destroyer just kept on him, locking on the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK for the submission win. Winner: The Destroyer defeats Johnny Valentine via the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK.



After the match, Greg Valentine came out to the ring and confronted his dad, Johnny. Greg started arguing with Johnny, as Johnny kept trying to explain something, when “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase and his bodyguard, Virgil, came out to the ring. Virgil was holding a briefcase, while DiBiase told the Valentines that he had a business proposition for them…all they had to do was have dinner with him tonight, and they would discuss it. The Valentines….looking warily at DiBiase, agreed to the dinner, and both men walked out of the arena with DiBiase and Virgil….



8. The Main Event was for the LWF Heritage TV Title, as Nick Bockwinkel challenged Gorgeous George (TV Champ) (w/ Cherie Dupre). Both men fought back and forth, with Wagner nearly taking the pinfall after a flying clothesline from the buckles…but, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan left the announce area, ran to the ring, and started arguing with the referee. This gave Bockwinkel the opening he needed, nailing Wagner with a low blow. Bockwinkel then locked in his BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER, and refused to let it go until Gorgeous George was dreaming he was a princess. Winner: (LWF Heritage TV Title Match) Nick Bockwinkel **NEW CHAMPION** over Gorgeous George by submission after locking on the BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER.



Before the show went off the air, Lance Russell announced that Frank Gotch never showed up tonight for his scheduled interview, and that there will be more information next week, once more info is discovered....

Card #6



The show starts up with the World Wide Wrestling theme playing, going through the WWW intro video….Afterwards, the camera focuses in on Lance Russell and guest commentator, Gordon Solie. But, before they can begin, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan walks out, along with new LWF Heritage TV Champion, Nick Bockwinkel. Heenan quickly takes over the announce area, telling Russell & Solie to “get out of the way” and calling them both “over-rated has-beens”.



Heenan: What you see here before your very eyes (referring to Nick Bockwinkel)….is the greatest man to ever step inside that ring. All you humanoids should be thankful to whatever God you serve that he allows you to be in the presence of such a legend as Nick Bockwinkel. Oh, sure…he is the TV Champion now…but after tonight, he will get his shot against that pathetic nobody, Frank Gotch…that is…if Mr. Gotch can ever be found. (looking towards Russell) Where is he anyways? Doesn’t matter, the real deal, Nick Bockwinkel, is here….Nick has taken out the trash here in the LWF, and this week, he finishes the preliminaries….The Destroyer. Who cares who or what that masked baboon is….Nick Bockwinkel, the LWF TV Champion, will take care of him, just like he took care of Gorgeous George last week….just like he took care of Buddy Rogers the week before that. Then it will be wiping the floor with Frank Gotch…then Harley Race….Just you watch….Nick Bockwinkel will be the true LWF World Champion….



Finally, Lance Russell is able to ask a question…



Lance: Brain, what role are you taking in this? Nick, do you need a manager? Now? After coming all this way?



Nick Bockwinkel: First of all, you address the future World Champion as Mr. Nick Bockwinkel….Secondly, I don’t “need” anyone….Bobby is just going to be my advisor….he is going to take care of personal things…you know….family, finances, making sure I don’t get screwed by the “powers that be” in this promotion. I am on a strict training regiment…I will defeat The Destroyer tonight. I will defeat Frank Gotch, if he decides to show up. And….Harley….when you and I meet in the ring….you will know what it’s like to be in the ring with a REAL World Champion.



Solie: Well, fans…there you have it. The challenge has been laid out. The boasting is coming to a head. Nick Bockwinkel has tipped his hat into the flames, and is seeking the LWF World Championship. Lance, imagine what type of match we would have if, and when, Nick Bockwinkel challenges Harley Race for the LWF World Heavyweight Championship.



Lance: I can tell you what we would have…we would have a great match…these two guys….they are the toughest in the sport, and they are the toughest in the LWF….



Before the opening match (Virgil vs. Gorgeous George), the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase, came out to the announce area for an unscheduled interview….



DiBiase: hold that microphone over here, Russell….I have an announcement for all you poor, broke down, living paycheck to paycheck, still in hopeless debt red necked hillbillies. I know all you losers look up and idolize the Million Dollar Man for his financial generosity…(looking at Lance) I give to charities. But I decided to do something better with the money I have earned. I have taken the team that none of you thought could be bought….Come on out here, boys…



Out walks Johnny & Greg Valentine!!!



DiBiase: You see…I gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse….I gave them so much money to join up with the DiBiase Corporation, that there was no way that they could EVER turn that kind of cash down. Now, there is some other business that needs to be looked at, and taken care of…but in due time. But for now, just look at the enforcers for the DiBiase Corp., and watch as they take over the tag team division (interject DiBiase’s laugh…)



1. The opening match was Virgil taking on former LWF Heritage TV Champion, Gorgeous George. DiBiase and The Valentines stayed at ringside for the match. DiBiase kept offering money to Cherie Dupre, calling her a common street girl. This really seemed to distract Wagner, as he was not able to mount much offense, as Virgil just hammered on him with stiff punches and brutal slams. Finally, as DiBiase distracted the ref, The Valentines smashed Wagner in the head with the Million Dollar Belt (as Virgil held him in place). Virgil picked up a shockingly easy pinfall. Winner: Virgil defeats Gorgeous George by pinfall.



After the match, The Valentines, along with Virgil, put the boots to Wagner, stomping him into the mat. The Valentines then tossed Wagner out over the top ropes, leaving the DiBiase Corp. standing in the ring….



2. The next match was the Monsters of the Mat (Killer Kowalski & Ox Baker) taking on High Stylin’ (Brutus Beefcake & Buff Bagwell). Great match. The Monsters dominated the match, until the very end, when Ox Baker was caught by surprise when he ran into the buckles during a missed turnbuckle charge. Bagwell followed up with the BUFF BLOCKBUSTER, then tagged out to Beefcake, who then hit the FLYING KNEE SMASH for the upset pinfall. Winner: High Stylin’ over the Monsters of the Mat via pinfall after Beefcake laid out Ox Baker with the FLYING KNEE SMASH.



After the match, Bundy tore into the ring (well, if Bundy can really, “tear into the ring”). Kowalski & Baker also tried to get their hands on High Stylin’, but Beefcake & Bagwell were just too quick for them, and was able to get out of the ring without any problems….but, as they made their way back towards the exit, the Valentines & Virgil attacked!! The Valentines & Virgil beat down Bagwell & Beefcake, while Ted DiBiase cackled, until out from the back ran Gorgeous George!! Wagner attacked DiBiase, while Beefcake & Bagwell were able to turn the tide and fight back, sending the DiBiase Corp running to the back….



3. The next match was supposed to be Jimmy Snuka vs. Buddy Rogers, but, again, Jimmy Snuka didn’t show for his match….Winner: Buddy Rogers over Jimmy Snuka due to Snuka no-showing again.



After he was declared the winner due to Snuka’s no-show, Rogers made his way over to the announce area.



Rogers: Let me tell you something. I come out here to wrestle a match, and now for two weeks straight, the bum never even shows up? I am getting tired of this garbage. I don’t care who I beat in the ring, but I want to beat somebody!! Now, whoever is running this d@mn show, get someone out here…right now….so I can get my workout!!



With that, Rogers heads back to the ring, waiting for someone to walk out through the arena entrance curtains….But….there is movement in the crowd BEHIND Buddy Rogers. Out of the crowd, climbing over the railing….BRUISER BRODY!!!!!! Brody slides in the ring, and nails Rogers with a clothesline with his chain!!!! A big boot to the face as Rogers jumps back to his feet lays the Nature Boy out…..Brody raises his arm high, signaling….the fans call for it….the JUMPING KNEE DROP!!!!!! A practically unconscious Rogers rolls out of the ring and falls to the floor, as the fans are going wild, chanting “BRODY!! BRODY!! BRODY!!”



4. “Simple Man” by Lynyrd Skynyrd began playing over the sound system, as Simple Men (Richard Hutton & Red Bastien) made their way out to the ring. Their opponents were the Valiants (w/ Capt. Lou Albano). Bastien started out strong, nearly taking the match early with a flying cross body from the top. The tag out to Hutton quickly prompted Johnny Valiant to tag out to Jimmy. Jimmy Valiant & Hutton went back and forth with some crisp wrestling, until both Valiants clobbered Hutton with a vicious double clothesline. The Valiants then nailed Hutton with the TOP ROPE ELBOW, taking the pinfall. Winner: The Valiants over the Simple Men via pinfall after Hutton was the recipient of the TOP ROPE ELBOW.

5. The next match was a rematch from an earlier show, as “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes faced Playboy Buddy Rose. Buddy Rose started out strong, but Big Dust turned things around on the outside. Back inside the ring, and Dusty nailed Rose with some dancing punches, followed up with an elbow clobberin’….then the BIONIC ELBOW DROP for the pin. Winner: Dusty Rhodes over Playboy Buddy Rose via the BIONIC ELBOW DROP.



After his match, Dusty Rhodes made his way over to the announce area for a post-match interview. Dusty said that just because he and Bobo Brazil lost last week’s match against Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff doesn’t mean that they are not going to keep on fighting. Rhodes says that the Iron Sheik & Volkoff are the two priority targets of the America’s Boys, and that they will be challenging for those US Tag Belts. Out from the back walks Albano and the Valiants. Albano says that Dusty Rhodes needs to go back to school to learn how to talk an understandable language. As for America’s Boys doing anything, they will need to get through the toughest tag team in the world, The Valiants. Dusty accepts with “anywhere…anytime….me and Bobo will send you two jokers packing back to New York, if ya will”. It started to become a shouting match between Albano and Rhodes, until Albano spit in Dusty’s face!!! Dusty wiped the spit away, then lightening fast, grabbed Albano and gave him a bionic elbow smash, then followed it up with handing out a special delivery of his elbow to both Valiants!!!!! Rhodes then walked away, leaving Albano and the Valiants laid out cold….



6. The next match was the #1 Contendership to the LWF United States Championship. LWF Heritage TV Champion, Nick Bockwinkel (w/ advisor, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan) faced the masked man, The Destroyer. (The LWF Heritage TV Title was not on the line). A great match between these two. The Destroyer had the match won early in the match with a single leg Boston Crab, but Heenan jumped up on the ring apron and distracted the referee. The Destroyer chased him to the outside, where he was caught with a Bockwinkel clothesline. Bockwinkel began working over Destroyer, locking him in the BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER and the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK several times, but Destroyer just kept breaking free. Finally, The Destroyer turned things around, countering a back suplex with a suplex of his own. The Destroyer then nailed a bombs away kneedrop, and was just about to lock on his FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, when Heenan once again jumped up on the ring apron. The Destroyer grabbed hold of Heenan as the referee tried to break them apart by getting in between them. This gave Bockwinkel the opening he needed, as he grabbed the TV belt that Heenan had placed on the other side of the ring. Bockwinkel nailed The Destroyer from behind with the TV Title Belt, then rolled him up for the quick pin. Winner: (LWF United States Title #1 Contenders Match) Nick Bockwinkel (LWF Heritage TV Champion) over The Destroyer via pinfall after hitting The Destroyer in the back of the head with the TV Title Belt.



Next up, Gordon Solie announced that Frank Gotch was indeed in the arena, and that after the commercial break, he would be out for an interview. After the break, the LWF United States Champion, and the #1 Contender to the LWF World Title (held by Harley Race), came out to the announce area. Gotch was bandaged up….



Solie: Frank, first of all, what happened to you….and secondly, what happened last week? Where were you at?



Gotch: Let me answer them both at the same time. You see, as I was leaving my hotel room, I was jumped by a couple of masked goons….Who they were, I don’t know….and who they were, I don’t care. All I know is, they beat me down pretty good, and that is where I was, and that is what happened to me last week. Who it was doesn’t matter….why they were there does. Did Heenan send them, to make it easy for his back room joke, Nick Bockwinkel, to face me? Did Destroyer do it….after all, masked men gotta stay together, right? Or, was it the LWF World Champion, Harley Race? Race….it doesn’t matter who sent the attack….all I know is someone is afraid that Frank Gotch is going to go all the way. Race? Bockwinkel and Heenan? Who knows….and who the hell cares. All I know is that next week, it is me and Nick Bockwinkel inside that ring right over there….for my US Title. Another thing I know….I am going to walk away from that ring still wearing this US belt around my waist….Race…it is just a matter of time before I get you back in the ring….start counting the days….

7. The Main Event was Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff defending the US Tag Team Titles against Mount Fuji (Antonio Inoki & Giant Baba). Nikita Breznikov came out with his team. Good match. Mount Fuji, though, just wasn’t able to connect with anything solid. The champions, though, were able to dominate the Japanese stars. A double face-first suplex to Inoki ended the match for Mount Fuji. Winner: (LWF United States Tag Team Titles) Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff put away challengers, Mount Fuji, by pinfall after a double face-first suplex to Inoki.

Card #7



Lance Russell & Gordon Solie opens up the show, welcoming everyone to another edition of LWF World Wide Wrestling.



Lance: I tell ya, tonight, we have a great show for you….hopefully, some questions will be answered from last week….



Solie: Well, last week, we were left with more questions than answers. One question that keeps coming to mind, who attacked, and who ordered the attack, on current LWF US Champion, Frank Gotch. Hopefully, tonight, we will be able to finally get down to that info….speaking of which, here comes the LWF World Champion, Harley Race…..Mr. Race?



Race: Shut up, Gordon….I am out here right now….to put to rest any and all rumors that I would have to hire some shmucks to injure a challenger to my World Title. There is no way, in 100 years, would I ever need to hire someone to hurt a man that thinks he can beat me….



(As Race was talking, the Destroyer and another masked man, the Masked Superstar, walked out…)



Destroyer: Hold, Harley…we still haven’t received payment….



Race: What the hell are you talking about?



Destroyer: You know…the job we did for you a couple weeks ago, taking out Frank Gotch….



Race: (whispering, while drawing Destroyer in close) I told you I would pay you….now get out of here….



(Now, out from the back comes US Champion, Frank Gotch)



Gotch: Yeah, just what I thought….Race, you call yourself a champion? You are a joke to the sport….



(Before Race could answer, Gotch threw a punch, connecting with Race’s head!! Before long, Race and Gotch were fighting, while the Destroyer & Masked Superstar stood by, finally deciding to get involved…turning the fight into a 3-on-1, odds against Gotch!! After a few moments, out from the crowd, ran two former World Champions from elsewhere, Joe Stecher & George Hackenshmidt!!! Now that the odds were evened up, Race, Destroyer & Masked Superstar took to the dressing rooms….)



Lance: Well, that was unexpected….Gordon, I guess we got our answer as to who did the attack, and who ordered the attack….



Gordon: Yes, Lance…now, we have Frank Gotch, Joe Stecher, and George Hackenshmidt standing here….



Hack: Let me tell you something, Gordon…I personally don’t care for Gotch, and I know he doesn’t have feel-good feelings for me….but I just can’t sit by and watch a man get triple teamed like that….



Stecher: Yeah…and let me just add, Hack and I are offering up a challenge to those 2 masked goons….next week, step inside our yard….inside that ring (pointing to the ring)….let us teach you some “old school” wrestling!!

1. The opening match was Buddy Rogers taking on the leader of the Triple Towers of Terror, King Kong Bundy. Rogers came out to the ring…very cautiously. He kept looking over his shoulder, as though he was expecting someone to try to attack him. During the entire match, he seemed…distracted. Rogers had a little bit of a tough time, but he was able to put away Bundy, after a jumping knee smash. Winner: Buddy Rogers defeated King Kong Bundy via a jumping knee smash.



After the match, Buddy Rogers made his way (very cautiously again) over to the announce area for a post-match interview. Gordon Solie asked Rogers why he was acting so afraid….Rogers said that there has been two guys stalking him….that Brody, and another guy with hair just as wild. Rogers says that he is not afraid to wrestle anyone….but to get attacked from behind like last week….Rogers says that he is ready for any attacks….He was pretty much incoherent, probably due to his fear of Brody and the other “wild-haired” guy that keeps “stalking” him….



2. The next match was the Monsters of the Mat (Killer Kowalski & Ox Baker) taking on The Valentines (Greg & Johnny Valentine). Ted DiBiase & Virgil accompanied The Valentines to the ring. Virgil stayed at ringside, while DiBiase made his way over to the announce area for the match. Wow….tough match. The Monsters were dominating Johnny Valentine during the first half of the match, refusing to let him tag out. Johnny was hit with at least 3 HEART PUNCHES by Baker, but between Johnny’s resiliency and kicking out, and Greg’s pin saves, he stayed in the match. Finally, he was able to tag out to Greg Valentine. Greg, though, was also overpowered, but continued to fight back. Greg was able to lock Baker into the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, then tagged out to Johnny, who hit the ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHER. All 4 men started brawling, with Baker ending up on the outside, where Virgil smashed him with the briefcase (that holds the money DiBiase used to buy the Valentines). Baker was rolled back in, allowing Johnny to land another ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHER for the pin. Winner: The Valentines over the Monsters of the Mat via pinfall after Johnny Valentine hit the ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHER on Ox Baker.



Out from the back walked Gorgeous George (w/ Cherie Dupre), along with Brutus Beefcake & Buff Bagwell, the tag team of High Stylin’. Gorgeous George says that later tonight, he will get Virgil back in the ring…and Virgil will need to use all that money that DiBiase has to get plastic surgery after he is done with him. Bagwell then says that Gorgeous George has joined forces with the tag team formally known as High Stylin’. Now, High Stylin’ will be known as The Stripper Club. Beefcake says that he saw the Valentines just barely defeat the Monsters of the Mat…well, guess what….the ‘Club has already defeated that team….next up, is the Valentines!! Gorgeous George then challenges DiBiase and his Corporation, to a 6-Man Tag Team Match next week.



3. The next match was Bruiser Brody taking on Playboy Buddy Rose. The match quickly fell to the outside, where Brody was DQ’d for continuously smashing Rose into the turnbuckle post. The referee tried to stop him, but Brody grabbed him and tossed him over the steel railing, sending him flying into the fans. Brody then grabbed a chair, and leveled Rose with it, busting him wide open!! Brody slid back into the ring, grabbed his chain, and began swinging it over his head….Winner: Playboy Buddy Rose over Bruiser Brody by DQ.



4. The next match was a rematch from last week, as Gorgeous George (w/ Cherie Dupre) faced Virgil. DiBiase came out to the ring with Virgil. Wagner made very short work of Virgil, locking him in the Gorgeous Grip, putting Virgil to sleep. DiBiase jumped into the ring, only to be met with a body slam, followed up with Wagner locking on the SPINNING TOE HOLD. The Valentines (still busted up from their earlier match) tried to make the save, but the newly-renamed, Stripper Club, stopped them!! The 6 men fought back to the back area, until finally, security was able to break it up. Winner: Gorgeous George defeated Virgil via submission after locking on the Gorgeous Grip.



5. The next match was Mount Fuji (Giant Baba & Antonio Inoki) taking on Simple Men (Richard Hutton & Red Bastien). Baba started out with Hutton, but Hutton had a counter for pretty much everything that Baba tried. The tag out to Bastien, and Bastien just nailed some brilliant high-flying moves, dazzling both the crowd, and dizzying Giant Baba. Bastien rolled Baba up after a flying head scissors for the pinfall. Winner: Simple Men over Mount Fuji via pinfall.

Jimmy Snuka shows up in the back….Snuka’s hair is totally unkempt, and he has a desperate, wild-eyed savage look to his eyes. Lou Albano (flanked by The Valiants) walk up to Snuka. Albano says that he sees that Snuka has taken his advice, and went back to his roots. Albano says that he offers Snuka a spot in his Wrecking Crew stable. Snuka, realizing that someone is standing in front of him (and possibly talking to him), looks at Albano. With a lightening fast movement, Snuka grabs Albano and smashes him with a headbutt. The Valiants quickly try to attack Snuka, but Snuka nails Jimmy Valiant with a chop. Snuka, though is quickly overtaken by the other Valiant. The Valiants start to beat-down Snuka, while Albano recovers (blood trickling down his head, between his eyes). Albano grabs a chair, and after threatening Snuka, and promising him he will never wrestle again after Albano gets done with him, prepares to hit Snuka with a chairshot….but out of nowhere, Bruiser Brody shows up, smashing both Valiants with a double-clothesline with his chain!! Albano drops the chair, and begins to beg for mercy, but Brody just blasts him with a big boot to the face!! The Valiants help Albano to his feet, as the 3 run off….Brody helps Snuka to his feet, when the two of them start brawling, tearing up the hall way, and everything near-by…..



6. The next match was The Valiants (Jimmy & Johnny Valiant) taking on America’s Boys (Dusty Rhodes & Bobo Brazil). America’s Boys started out the match strong, as Dusty and Bobo just hammered Johnny Valiant. But, after a 4-man brawl (after Johnny was nailed with several COCO BUTTS), the Valiants were able to take control of the match. The Valiants laid out Brazil with a double clothesline, followed up with Johnny Valiant hitting a SPINNING NECKBREAKER on Bobo. The Valiants then nailed Bobo with the TOP ROPE ELBOW for the pinfall. Winner: The Valiants over America’s Boys via pinfall after the TOP ROPE ELBOW to Bobo Brazil.



After the match, the Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff (w/ Nikita Breznikov), the LWF US Tag Team Champions, ran out and helped the Valiants attack Rhodes & Brazil. It didn’t take too long for Bruiser Brody & Jimmy Snuka to charge the ring area…along with the LWF World Tag Team Champions, the Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) (w/ Paul Ellering), chasing the Valiants, Iron Sheik & Volkoff, from the ring. Snuka and Brody quickly left the ring, both wild-eyed and wild-haired….as they made it back to the entrance, they both started trading punches again….



After the commercial break, “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers came out to the announce area for an unscheduled interview….



Solie: Buddy Rogers….you obviously have something on your mind to talk about…



Rogers: Yeah….so shut your mouth, and I will get to it. You know….there are two guys out running around attacking people at will. They have been stalking me for the past week….and now that the other lunatic has come forward, I know who he is….Bruiser Brody…the coward….and Jimmy Snuka….the savage. Yeah…you two savages are causing so much grief in the LWF, it isn’t even funny. I have went to the front office about all of this, and was basically laughed out of the building. Well…I have decided to take matters into my own hands….I have decided to form my own little team to counter you two. Coming soon, Bruiser Brody & Jimmy Snuka, will have to pay the devil his dues….
