[QUOTE=D. Boon's Ghost]Nice mirror to history - Chico, er... Tito Santana winning the Intercontinental from Muraco. :) Congrats on the great diary, captain. I look forward to the entries.[/QUOTE] Tito's flying jalpeno, I mean flying forearm, did the beach bum in. The Magnificent One also has the WWF World Heavyweight title, too. I'm wondering who he is going to lose it to before he leaves the WWF. (He was given his two week notice by Vince McMahon the end of week 1) Hopefully PNW will give Mean Mark a chance to win the Heavyweight title before middle of May when I try to set up a meeting with World Class. If WCCW says no, then I'll go to Central States since it is the closest to the Indy that Mean Mark went to in Illinois. One thing that I like about the matches against Dan Severn is that it looks like Severn has changed his tactics and strategy the last two matches. BTW, I hope that you didn't mind me helping out in sending out the DOTT files while your computer was sick.

Looks like it might be time to consider jumping ship soon, as Pacific Northwest doesn't seem to know how to book you (no decent opponents for the Big Guy, perhaps?). Send the Mauler elsewhere, good man! :)

[QUOTE=D. Boon's Ghost]Looks like it might be time to consider jumping ship soon, as Pacific Northwest doesn't seem to know how to book you (no decent opponents for the Big Guy, perhaps?). Send the Mauler elsewhere, good man! :)[/QUOTE] His "training" matches in PNW are ending soon. Also with Earthquake as the PNW Heavyweight title holder I am being held up, I think, from getting a shot at that title. It's almost time to send him south, closer to home, so that he can continue his studies. I'm going to schedule a meeting with one the beginning of May because he's also running out of funds. These long stretches between matches are starting to hit the wallet too much.

week 4, April 1984 -- Monday thru Wednesday [color=blue]Monday[/color] [b]Today's Wrestling News PPW[/b] - Lars Anderson retained the Polynesian Pacific title by defeating One Man Gang [color=blue]Tuesday[/color] [b]PNW - Around the Horn[/b] I arrived at the show and found that I would be teaming up with newcomer Dr. Tom Pritchard in tag team action against Dizzy Hogan and Gypsy Joe. The bell rings and I am in the ring against Dizzy Hogan. Hogan takes command in the early going with a headbutt, an eye gouge, a punch and another eye gouge before I stop him from climbing the turnbuckles and giving him a clubbing blow and a kick in the back. I give him a backbreaker and a giant suplex then he reverses an irish whip and the ref is knocked out. Hogan tags in Gypsy Joe and he punches me before applying an arm wringer and a top wrist lock. I countered a forearm with a throat thrust and kicked him in the back. I hit Joe with a flying double axe handle and whipped him into the corner and tagged in Dr. Tom Pritchard. Joe avoided a knife edge chop and gave Pritchard a forearm blow. Pritchard reverses an irish whip and dropkicks Joe. An elbow drop misses and Joe applied a rear chinlock and a side headlock before giving him a clubbing blow as the ref recovers. Joe gives Pritchard a series of forearms and punches before giving him a gutwrench suplex and applying an arm bar. Pritchard slips away and gives Joe a backbreaker and drives a knee into his leg before applying an arm bar. He also gives him a drop toe hold then another elbow drop misses and Joe tags Hogan. Hogan stomps on Pritchard then Pritchard breaks free and whips him into a corner and tags me in. Hogan slips away and rakes my back before applying a front facelock and giving me a clubbing blow. An elbow drop misses but Hogan slips out of a hold and irish whips me into a punch. He tries to gouge my eyes but he gets a giant suplex in return. I then irish whip Hogan into a clothesline and I kick him in the back and twist his head. Hogan applied a hammerlock but I counter a rake in the back with a press slam and a mafia kick. He gouges my eyes and then gives me a flying double axe handle and then tags Gypsy Joe. Joe chokes me and punches me before giving me a flying double axe handle and a punch. He stops me from tagging and applied a front facelock. I slip away and whip Joe into the corner and tag in Pritchard. They go at each other back and forth for over three minutes before Pritchard is able to tag me in. Joe applies a couple of holds then irish whips me and the ref is knocked out. We keep trading blows for two minutes then the ref recovers. I irish whip Joe but he ducks under a lariat clothesline. He irish whips me twice and punches me each time. Joe then gives me a couple of forearms before I am able to irish whip him. He avoids a powerslam attempt but I fall on top of him after a suplex and he kicks out at 2. We continue to go at each other for another minute before I tag Pritchard. Pritchard gives Joe a bionic elbow and Joe begins to bleed. They break each other's holds then Pritchard applies a spinning toe hold but Joe doesn't submit. They trade a couple of moves and Pritchard wraps him in the small package and Joe kicks out at the last second. He then gives Joe the 3/4 face lock bulldog but he kicks out of a pin attempt at the last second. Joe ducks under a flying forearm and covers Pritchard but he kicks out at 1. Joe then tags Hogan. They trade blows for about a minute before Pritchard puts him in a spinning toe hold but Hogan doesn't submit. Pritchard then gives him a piledriver but Hogan kicks out at the last second. Hogan and Pritchard go at each other for two minutes before Pritchard is able to tag me in. Hogan fights me back and punches me then I put him in a bear hug then choke slammed him. Hogan kicks out of the pin attempt at the last second. I then powerbomb him and again he kicks out at the last second. I irish whip Hogan but he avoids the lariat and tags in Joe. Joe and I go toe to toe for three minutes before he slips away and tags Hogan. Hogan chokes me a couple of times before I slipped away and tagged Pritchard. Pritchard gave him a drop toe hold and then slapped him into the figure-four leglock but Hogan wouldn't submit. Two minutes later Pritchard puts Hogan in the abdominal stretch and again Hogan does not submit. Pritchard then goes into his trunks and punches Hogan with a set of brass knuckles that starts him bleeding but Hogan kicks out of a pin attempt at the last second. Pritchard piledrives him and again Hogan is able to kick out at the last second. Two minutes later Hogan tags Joe. Pritchard gets into trouble a minute later as Joe applied a step over arm bar but Pritchard didn't submit. Joe irish whipped him but Pritchard countered a mafia kick with a dropkick and slapped on the figure-four but Joe didn't submit. Pritchard tags me in and seconds later I fall on top of Joe after a suplex and he kicked out at the last second. I choked him and then irish whipped him but he countered a powerslam attempt with a punch. I slipped out of a top wrist lock and gave Joe a hammerlock back bomb and then choke slammed him. I then covered him and got the pin for the victory. What a long and grueling match that was.

week 1, May 1984 -- Monday thru Wednesday [color=blue]Monday[/color] I flew to Dallas, Texas for my meeting with Fritz Von Erich, the owner of World Class Championship Wrestling. In his office I was offered a try out and I agreed to go.

[b]WCCW - The Dallas Sportatorium Show[/b] I arrived for my tryout match and I found that I was scheduled to wrestle Giant Haystacks in a steel cage escape match. This man is huge!! I am going to put on a mask and am having them call me Texas Red. The bell rings and I hit Haystacks with a throat thrust and a clubbing blow before I irish whipped him into a clothesline. Haystacks avoided a kick in the back and gave me a running clothesline then went after me while I was on the mat. He gave me a knee drop, a kick in the back, a stomp, another knee drop, and another kick in the back. I avoided a stomp and gave him an arm wringer smash. I then irish whipped him but he avoided a clubbing blow. I countered his running clothesline with a throat thrust and gave him a kick in the back.

Haystacks slipped from a head twist but I reversed an irish whip. He ducked under a running double axe handle and snap mared me to the mat. I avoided a stomp and started to choke him.

When I got there he offered me a one year, $60 per appearance verbal contract and I accepted. I will now be wrestling for the same people that I watched on TV when I was a kid. I am going to start off as a heel lower midcarder. When I arrived in Portland I received a message to meet with Don Owen, the owner of Pacific Northwest. He told me that he wanted to give me a six month verbal contract for thirty dollars ($30) less than what he was already paying me per appearance. I thanked him for the offer and told him that I was going to decline it so that I could wrestle closer to home and attend classes in Sports Management at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. [b]PNW - Big Time Wrestling TV Show[/b] I arrived for the TV taping and found out that I would be defending the PNW Television title against the "Z-man", Tom Zenk. The bell rings and I gave him a clubbing blow but he avoided a kick in the back and applied a side headlock. I countered a punch with a punch and gave him a backbreaker. We both slipped out of each other's move then I gave Zenk a backbreaker, a giant suplex, and a mafia kick before twisting his head. Zenk fought back and gave me a knife edge chop. I slipped out of a side headlock and slapped on a bearhug before ramming him into the turnbuckles. A spear attempt hits nothing but turnbuckle but I slipped out of an arm bar and gave him a hammerlock back bomb. I then irish whipped him but he prevented me from powerslamming him. I slipped out of a side headlock but he broke out of a hammerlock and applied a front facelock and gave me a knife edge chop. Zenk climbed the turnbuckles but I countered his flying standing knee with a choke slam and then pinned him for the victory to retain the PNW Television title.
