Broadcast via TV Local - Mid Atlantic on Saturday at 8:00 PM EST Jim Crockett Promotions presents...[/B][/COLOR][/CENTER] [QUOTE][SIZE=6][CENTER]MID-ATLANTIC CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING![/SIZE][/CENTER][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Jim Crockett[/COLOR][/B] The show began with a video based on the main event from last week. It showed Ric Flair's bloody face and Dusty Rhodes hitting that Bionic Elbow with the chain. It then flashed to Tommy Young finding the chain and then Dusty's victory party. =B Then came Jim Crockett sitting behind a desk with the NWA logo behind him. [B]Jim Crockett, Jr.:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am a representative here today from the National Wrestling Alliance. And it has been the decision of the NWA to strip the American Dream Dusty Rhodes of the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Title pending another board meeting. Dusty has already been informed of this decision and has given up the NWA World Title belt. Thank you very much and enjoy the show."[/COLOR] =C+ [B][COLOR=BLUE]Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw[/COLOR][/B] The show opened at the podium where the Boogie Woogie Man and Bugsy are standing. [B]Jimmy Valiant:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Bugsy, you and the Boogie have got it going down and tonight we're teaming with that cool cat Magnum T.A. against those nasty Road Warriors and Ivan Koloff. Road Warriors, Ivan Koloff you better watch out because the Boogie is coming to get you tonight!"[/COLOR] [B]Bugsy McGraw:[/B] [COLOR=RED] And Roadies don't think for one second we've forgotten about our upcoming match. We're training and preparing better than ever and we're going to show you that we're no pushovers!"[/COLOR] =D [QUOTE][B][U]The Road Warriors and Ivan Koloff vs. Jimmy Valiant, Bugsy McGraw and Magnum T.A. [/U][/B] Some more 6 man tag team action as Ivan Koloff teams up with the Road Warriors this week against Magnum T.A., Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw. This was the opposite of the other 6 man tag match last week since this week was more of a slow, plodding power contest with the Road Warriors and Koloff mostly dominating. Road Warrior Hawk got the pinfall on Bugsy McGraw after the Doomsday Device. [B][U]The Road Warriors and Ivan Koloff b. Jimmy Valiant, Bugsy McGraw and Magnum T.A. by pinfall =C-[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Bob Orton, Jr., Dory Funk Jr.[/COLOR][/B] Following the 6 man tag match, a video played showing the highlights from the Bob Orton Jr., Dory Funk Jr. storyline. =C- When the video stopped, we focused in on the podium where Bob Orton, Jr. had walked out. [B]Bob Orton, Jr.:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Everyone has seen what happened within the past. They all saw how Dory Funk and the Assassin took out me and then my friend Paul Orndorff. Orndorff might not even wrestle again. But the cage match is coming soon, Dory. Soon, you will be losing your Mid-Atlantic Title and quite possibly your career. And it all begins tonight as I team with Dusty Rhodes against you and Ric Flair. Dusty is a good man. Just try to take us out."[/COLOR] =D+ [QUOTE][B][U]Larry Zbyszko vs. Rick Martel [/U][/B] This is a much highly anticipated matchup between two excellent technical wrestlers. Zbyszko underestimated Martel early on and it nearly cost him the bout quickly on a roll-up. The Living Legend turned things around on Martel, though, and the veteran began showing why he is called the Living Legend. He focused on the neck of Martel with knee strikes, choke holds and other moves. Martel fought back, though, and ended up picking up a clean victory with a Flying Cross Body! Who would have thought?! [B][U]Rick Martel b. Larry Zbyszko by pinfall =C+[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Rick Martel, Larry Zbyszko, Arn Anderson[/COLOR][/B] After the match, Martel rose up fists up in victory, being grabbed by referee Randy Anderson with his arms raised. Martel went to several different corners to celebrate. =C- As Martel went up the last corner, Arn Anderson approached him from behind and gave him a forearm shot to the back! The Enforcer yanked Martel off the turnbuckles and dropped him with a Spinebuster. Zbyszko slowly got to his feet and joined Anderson in stomping Martel into the mat. But tonight Martel knows he got the best of Larry Zbyszko. =D [B][COLOR=BLUE]Ted DiBiase[/COLOR][/B] The cameras closed out, showing a video of a certain mansion. Pools, tennis courts, a built-in movie theater all there. Sitting in the front row? The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. [B]Ted DiBiase:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Welcome to my home everyone. Sit back, relax and watch some tv. Or maybe go swimming in my pool. But don't expect to stay long. Money doesn't hang out with the likes of you. But don't worry the Million Dollar Man will soon be in an arena near you."[/COLOR] Ted pulls out a cigar and lights it with a hundred dollar bill. =D+ [QUOTE][B][U]NWA World Tag Team Titles Match Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood defend against the Fantastics [/U][/B] These 4 men shook hands before the match and then it was on. This was a fast-paced matchup between 4 fan favorites. A clean encounter with Ricky Steamboat looking good out here. Steamboat got the win over Bobby Fulton by submission with his Double Chicken Wing. [B][U]Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood b. The Fantastics by submission =C-[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]One Man Gang, ???? ???? ?????[/COLOR][/B] Following the match, the One Man Gang came out from the back and attacked Jay Youngblood from behind while another large behemoth of a man came in behind Steamboat and knocked Steamboat into the corner. He backed up and ran giving Steamboat an Avalanche! One Man Gang threw Jay Youngblood in the ring and gave him the 747 Splash! One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy stood in the ring raising their arms in victory. =C [QUOTE][B][U]Stan Lane vs. Robert Gibson[/U][/B] Midnight Express vs. The Rock and Roll Express here in singles competition as Robert Gibson takes on Sweet Stan Lane. A fairly decent singles match with two competitors that are used to wrestling in tags. Robert Gibson picked up the victory by DQ when Bobby Eaton attacked him in the ring and a double-team starting by the Midnight Express. [B][U]Robert Gibson b. Stan Lane by DQ =D[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Midnight Express, Rock and Roll Express[/COLOR][/B] The Express set Gibson up for the Veg-O-Matic but in came Ricky Morton to make the save! The Express hit the bricks and Morton stood over his partner. =D- [QUOTE][B][U]Ric Flair and Dory Funk, Jr. vs. Dusty Rhodes and Bob Orton, Jr. [/U][/B] It's main event time as two seperate feuds collide here in tag action. The Nature Boy was going to start but saw Dusty Rhodes was starting so he tagged out to Dory Funk, Jr. The two veterans did battle with Flair getting a few shots in later during the match whenever Rhodes was on the ground. When Rhodes started trying to get back an advantage, Flair quickly tagged out. Rhodes was focused on in this match, keeping Bob Orton, Jr. out on the apron. Ric Flair looked good out here. Dusty was able to make a late tag to Bob Orton, Jr. who came in like a house on fire, taking down both Flair and Funk with clotheslines, punches and body slams. All 4 men came into the ring and paired up with Flair and Rhodes and Dory and Bob. Referee Tommy Young had a hard time keeping up with everything and Flair landed a low blow to the American Dream behind the referee's back. He rolled up Rhodes and placed his feet on the ropes and the referee counted the illegal man Rhodes out. What's going on here?! Flair rolled out of the ring with his hands held high and the big question about Dusty being pinned was left hanging as the show came to a close. [B][U]Ric Flair and Dory Funk, Jr. b. Dusty Rhodes and Bob Orton, Jr. =C+[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][SIZE=4]OVERALL RATING=C[/SIZE] Announcer:[/B] Bob Caudle [B]Colour Commentator:[/B] David Crockett [B]Attendance:[/B] 5,000 (Sellout) [B]TV Rating:[/B] .73 [B]Notes:[/B] A step backward from last week's show but that is to be expected considering how great last week's show was. We lost some popularity in the Mid-Atlantic region because of this show but we made money. It all evens out in the wash, right? In the PreShow Bob Orton, Jr. beat Arn Anderson in a C grade match. Also in the PreShow: Greg Valentine beat Mike Rotundo in a B- match.

Wow, two surprises. Flair losing the title to the American Dream and Wahoo gettng beat in the Strap match? Way to keep it unpredictable. Didn't get a chance to predict on the last show. Spent the whole weekend at the ballfield(nothing new there.) Good effort though. Glad to see you continuing with this(didn't know if you would since you started the WCW one.) Got mine back up and started check it out and leave a prediction or two. ;)

This matchup wasn't even a contest as OMG and KKB were in full control throughout. The match ended when Bundy hit Randy Mulkey with his Avalanche followed by a 747 Splash from the One Man Gang for the pinfall win. [B][U]One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy b.

[B]Gene Okerland:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Hello professional wrestling fans, I'm Mean Gene Okerland here with an exciting interview for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. I'm here with Dory Funk, Jr."[/COLOR] Dory steps into view. [B]Gene Okerland:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Mr. Funk, you and your family have been around the wrestling business for a very long time. But have you ever been as prepared for a match as you seem to be with Bob Orton, Jr. inside the cage?"[/COLOR] [B]Dory Funk, Jr.:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"First of all, welcome to Mid-Atlantic Gene. Now shut-up and let me talk. Cowboy, you have stepped into the wrong ring, stepped against the wrong man. There is a reason why I am the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion. It's because I'm the best around here. And when we step into the ring I'm going to not only prove it but I'm going to end your career."[/COLOR] =D+ [B][COLOR=BLUE]Jim Crockett, Jr.[/COLOR][/B] The camera moves to a backstage office area where Jim Crockett, Jr. is sitting behind a desk. [B]Jim Crockett, Jr.:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"After the emergency session with the NWA Board, a decision has been reached regarding the vacant NWA World Heavyweight Title. There will be a rematch between Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes to determine the new Champion. This will take place inside a steel cage so there cannot be any disqualifications or countouts.

Thank you very much and enjoy the rest of the show.[/COLOR] =B- [B][COLOR=BLUE]Tony Schiavone, Rick Martel, Larry Zbyszko[/COLOR][/B] The camera returns back to the interview podium where Tony Schiavone is standing by with Rick Martel. [B]Tony Schiavone:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Hello everyone. What an announcement made just now by Jim Crockett, Jr. Speaking of superstar matches, we had one last week when the man beside me beat the Living Legend Larry Zbyszko. Rick, congratulations on your victory."[/COLOR] [B]Rick Martel:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Thank you, Mr. Schiavone. I'd also like to thank the fans who have supported me so far in my matches here in the Mid-Atlantic region. I had a good match against a tough opponent last week and I expect to continue my winning ways against other opponents here in Mid-Atlantic."[/COLOR] =D A video played showing highlights from the match between Martel and Zbyszko, ending with Martel getting the win. =C- Coming back from the video, Larry Zbyszko is standing alone at the podium. [B]Larry Zbyszko:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Rick Martel, just because you have the fans here supporting you it doesn't mean anything. So I slipped on a banana peel and lost to you last week. You better enjoy it because it won't happen again. You're still not even in the league of the Living Legend."[/COLOR] Larry shook his head and walked off. =C [QUOTE][B][U]Road Warriors vs. Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw [/U][/B] Paul Ellering led his Road Warriors down here against the team of Valiant and McGraw. Valiant and McGraw tried to start out quickly early but Hawk and Animal no-sold their punches. They just looked at Valiant and McGraw. From there on, the Road Warriors dominated the match, clotheslining down both their opponents and continuing to stomp on Valiant and McGraw. Valiant was taken down with a power slam and McGraw given a shoulderblock. Paul Ellering called for the thumbs up and Animal lifted Bugsy McGraw onto his shoulders and Hawk climbed to the top turnbuckle. It was a Doomsday Device flipping McGraw over onto the ground. Hawk made the cover, sticking his tongue out and got the 3 count. [B][U]The Road Warriors b. Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw by pinfall =D[/B][/U][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Paul Ellering, Road Warriors, Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw and The Brisco Brothers[/COLOR][/B] Following the match, Paul Ellering got into the ring and pointed at Jimmy Valiant. Animal stomped on Valiant and then lifted him up, preparing for the Doomsday Device. =D But in came the Brisco Brothers with wooden chairs! They laid them across the backs of the Road Warriors, who barely sold the shots. But again Paul Ellering pulled his Road Warriors back and off. =D [B][COLOR=BLUE]??? ???????[/COLOR][/B] The camera moves out to a baseball field. A pitch is made and a hit is made sending the ball way out. It's going..it's going..it's gone! A home run! Flash to another baseball field, another pitch, another home run. 4 baseball fields shown in total, each with home runs. At the end, the camera zooms in on the man doing the hits. [B]Mr. Perfect:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Now that's PERFECT!"[/COLOR] And the camera fades out. =D [QUOTE][B][U]Dizzy Ed Hogan vs. Magnum T.A. [/U][/B] As most people would think, T.A. dominated this bout. Magnum was clearly the class over Ed Hogan. Magnum sent Hogan into the turnbuckle and when Hogan came out, Magnum hit a Belly-To-Belly Suplex and then a small package to pick up the win. [B][U]Magnum T.A. b. Dizzy Ed Hogan by pinfall =D-[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][B][U]United States Heavyweight Title Match Greg Valentine defends against Jerry Brisco [/U][/B] This would be the very first title defense of the United States Title by the Hammer. This was a very good technical match with both men focusing on the legs. Near the end of the match, referee Tommy Young took a bump before Brisco locked the Figure 4 on Valentine! Valentine was crying 'I quit, I quit' but there was no referee to call for the bell! Brisco released the hold and went over to the referee, trying to help him up and Valentine rolled out of the ring. Valentine grabbed his belt and walked around the ring. Brisco saw him moving and leaned through the middle and top rope only to take a belt shot from Valentine! Valentine rolled inside the ring and rolled up Brisco, using his feet on the ropes as Tommy Young came to and counted the 3 count. [B][U]Greg Valentine b.

[B]Ted DiBiase:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Did you really think you'd be worthy enough to come into the Million Dollar Man's personal jewelry store? Of course not. But don't worry.

Wrestlers beware."[/COLOR] Ted throws his head back and laughs that dark, evil laugh as the camera fades out. =D+ [QUOTE][B][U]Ric Flair vs. Rick Martel [/U][/B] And it's time for our main event as the Nature Boy Ric Flair takes on Rick Martel in a one-fall encounter. The Nature Boy seemed a little revived in this match after learning earlier he'd be getting a shot at regaining his NWA World Heavyweight Title. Martel's chest looked raw following the match from all the chops that Flair laced into him. Martel held his own against the former NWA Champ, surprising Flair several times during the match. But Flair's experience kept him in the ballgame. Eventually, he rolled up Martel into a small package and used the tights to get the pinfall. The show ended with Flair's arms being raised. Would they be raised in the cage with the NWA World Title around his waist? [B][U]Ric Flair b.

We gained some popularity within the Mid-Atlantic region with this great showing and a fantastic main event and pre-main event. Within the preshow, Mr. Perfect made his debut defeating Jack Brisco with the Perfect Plex in a C+ match. Also Larry Zbyszko went to a time-limit draw with Ricky Steamboat in a B rated match. Next week will mark the in-ring debut of Ted DiBiase for MACW.

A very good tag team bout between these 4 men with Morton playing his usual face-in-peril role that he does so well. When Gibson got tagged back in, he was on fire. He took down both members of the Midnight Express. Ricky Morton tried to come in but referee Tommy Young grabbed him and began pulling him outside. Stan Lane came in the ring and hit Robert Gibson over the back with a chair. He tossed the chair out of the ring and the Midnights hit the Veg-O-Matic.

Iron Mike put up a great effort against Dory but Dory mostly dominated the match. Late in the match, Bob Orton, Jr. came out toward the ring and stopped at ringside, distracting Dory. Dory threw a punch at Bob, who dodged it and Mike Rotundo threw Dory back with a German Suplex and a bridge and got a surprising 3 count! [B][U]Mike Rotundo b.

Jack Brisco, Jerry Brisco you better be prepared to face the best team in the NWA in two weeks.

[B]Dusty Rhodes:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Ric Flair, I'm still standing. I'm still here! I said before that you're one of the best athletes in the business today and I wasn't lying. I don't know why you have to try to take those shortcuts in the ring and around it. But you better believe that the American Dream will still be standing tall inside the ring when it's all said and done. Dusty Rhodes will be holding the NWA World Heavyweight Title, you understand? When we get in the ring it's gonna get real funky. I'm gonna give you a little flip, flop and fly, a little bionic elbow and a pinfall.

You betta believe that when the American Dream and the Nature Boy get inside that ring it's gonna be...shameful."[/COLOR] =B+ [QUOTE][B][U]Ric Flair vs. Jack Brisco[/U][/B] And we hit main event time as the Nature Boy stepped into the ring here in Ohio to take on Jack Brisco. This was a solid technical matchup with a hot crowd that got into it when Flair gave Brisco those hard knife-edge chops in the corner. There were some Flair fans and some Brisco fans out in the crowd tonight. Moreso Brisco than Flair and they tried to rally Jack against the Nature Boy. But tonight it wasn't meant to be as Flair picked up the pinfall victory with a clean small package. [B][U]Ric Flair b.

Something has to be done soon to stop that even if it means cutting some salaries. The Flair/Rhodes cliffhanger ending was fun to do, though. In the preshow, the Midnight Express beat the Fantastics, retaining their Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Titles in a D- match. Also in the preshow, the Road Warriors went to a double countout with Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood in a C- match.

Well, let me put it to you this way.

This match got bloody early as both men used the steel cage to their advantage, banging the other's head into it. Later during the match, Bob Orton used the crowd to his advantage, raising up on Dory in the corner and punching as the crowd counted along to ten. Dory staggered out of the corner and his forehead looked like raw meat.

Animal started things off quickly for the Road Warriors, clotheslining down Jack Brisco and then lifting him up in a press slam, pressing him several times up and down before slamming him over. Jack went back in the corner and regrouped with his partner, tagging out to Jerry Brisco. The Briscos began a technical assault on the larger opponent, using several double team moves to bring Animal down to the delight of the crowd. Quick tags were the name of the game for the Brisco Brothers. But Animal eventually gained the advantage and tagged out to Hawk, who used his speed to keep the Brisco Brothers off balance. Animal ended up coming back in and the Road Warriors dominated the Briscos until Paul Ellering signalled for the Doomsday Device. Jack Brisco was lifted up onto Animal's shoulders and Hawk went to the top and...clothesline off the top by Hawk! Hawk made the cover and the referee made the 3 count! [B][U]The Road Warriors b.

Steamboat came out quickly against the OMG with a dropkick and chops to the large chest of the Gang. Steamboat rammed OMG's head into the cornerbuckle and OMG just looked at him for a moment and started with an advantage, kicking Steamboat in the gut and giving him shoulder shots in the corner. The One Man Gang started cranking in the advantage, using his weight as he used several restholds to wear down Steamboat. King Kong Bundy looked supremely confident outside the ring until OMG went for the 747 Splash but Steamboat rolled out of the way! The crowd cheered and clapped, rallying behind Steamboat as both men slowly moved toward their feet. Steamboat bounced off the ropes and hit OMG with a clothesline, rocking the big man. Steamboat hit another clothesline then a dropkick and that felled the huge One Man Gang! Steamboat went to the outside and climbed the turnbuckles slowly. One Man Gang was getting to his feet. He spun around, staggering slightly until he faced Steamboat. Steamboat leapt off the top turnbuckles and hit that flying body press! Referee Randy Anderson counted 1...2...and the pinfall was broken up by King Kong Bundy! Anderson had no choice but to call for the DQ. [B][U]Ricky Steamboat b.

But right as Bundy is about to go charging, Jay Youngblood comes down and pulls Steamboat from the ring. Jay looks up at Bundy and Gang as he helps his partner to the back. Things are definitely heating up here. =D+ [B][COLOR=BLUE]Ric Flair[/COLOR][/B] The camera focuses in on the podium where Mean Gene Okerland is standing by with Ric Flair. [B]Gene Okerland:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Good evening again ladies and gentlemen. Mean Gene Okerland here alongside one of the number one contenders to the NWA World Heavyweight Title The Nature Boy Ric Flair. Ric, tonight is the night that you take on the American Dream Dusty Rhodes to determine the new NWA World Champ."[/COLOR] [B]Ric Flair:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Meean Whooo Gene! Tonight is the night that the entire wrestling world is talking about. Tonight is the night that the Nature Boy sits right back up on his throne where he belongs. Whooo. Dusty Rhodes, I'll give credit where credit is due: you are good but Ric Flair is great, brother. Walking that aisle against anyone else you might even win some matches but tonight you're walking that aisle against the Nature Boy WITH the NWA World Heavyweight Title on the line. There's only one outcome that could come of this match: Ric Flair walking away with the belt. Whooo!"[/COLOR] =B [quote][b][u]Inside Of A Steel Cage. NWA World Heavyweight Title Match Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes [/U][/B] The crowd rose on their feet as the steel cage was finished being constructed here in Tampa Florida. The introductions were made with Ric Flair coming out first to a round of boos from the crowd. Then the American Dream was introduced and the place exploded with cheers! Dusty climbed inside the cage and the door was locked and he stood across from Ric Flair staring him down. Both men looked confident going into this one. Once the bell sounded, the two men circled one another. Dusty went to lock up but Flair avoided it and began his strut across the ring, releasing a 'whooo' to a booing crowd. The two men circled again and this time a collar and elbow tieup was successful. Dusty backed Flair into a corner but Flair turned it around and released a knife-edge chop to the chest of the American Dream! A second one! A third one and Dusty grabbed Flair, turning him around in the corner and peppering him with rights and lefts! A bionic elbow from the Dream and Flair falls to the mat, trying to roll outside but realizes that he's stuck in the ring because of the cage! Dusty pulls Flair back by the foot and then lifts him by the hair. He looks toward the cage and rams Flair's head into the steel cage! Flair bounces off of it and staggers back, falling to the mat. Dusty goes for the cover but only gets a 1 count says referee Tommy Young. Dusty swings a leg over and mounts Flair, beginning to punch the Nature Boy as the referee warns Dusty about the closed-fists but there's nothing that can be done since it's inside the cage with no DQ! Dusty has already busted open Flair's forehead! Flair is slightly bleeding above his eyebrows. Dusty pulls Flair up and lands a hip toss on the Nature Boy that has Flair grabbing his back and crying out in pain! Flair pulls himself away from Dusty, raising his hands and begging off. Dusty looks to the crowd who basically say 'no mercy.' When Dust turns back to Flair, Flair lands a thumb to the eyes and uses the turnbuckle to raise himself up to his feet. He grabs Dusty and swings him around into the corner, hitting three straight shoulderblocks to the gut. Flair lets Dusty stagger out of the corner and drops a shoulder on Dusty's knee! As we all know, the knee has been Flair's focal point since the feud began so it's already weakened. Flair lifts the leg and ties it into the bottom rope, beginning to stomp on the knee several times over before he wraps it around the bottom rope and stretches it with Dusty crying out in pain! Flair finally releases at the urging of the referee and gives a little strut to the booing crowd. He bounces off the ropes and drops a knee across Dusty's forehead! Dusty is not looking too good as Flair wipes his own blood from his brow. Flair grabs Dusty's leg and tries to pull Dust from the ropes but is struggling with pulling the larger man. He finally manages to pull Dusty away and goes for the Figure 4, only to be thwarted by a small package! 1.... 2....! Kickout by Flair! Flair barely made it out before the three count but he's the first to his feet and goes right back to the knee, stomping on it hard! Flair lifts Dusty, causing Dust to put weight on that injured leg as he forces the Dream into the corner. Flair chops HARD against Rhodes' chest! Again! Again! AGAIN! Flair is wearing out the Dream's chest with those knife-edge chops! He turns the Dream from the corner and rakes the American Dream's face against the cage! The Dream barely seems able to fight as Flair releases him and hits another shoulder shot to that injured knee with only grabbing the ropes keeping Dusty from falling. Flair grabs one of Dusty's arms and tries to whip him across the ring but Dust has ahold of the ropes and isn't going anywhere! Flair tries again and is still unsuccessful! Dusty grabs Flair and rams his head into the steel cage! Flair staggers out, barely standing before flopping to the mat face-first. The American Dream gets cheers from the crowd as he picks up Flair and goes to body slam him but his knee gives out! He falls into the turnbuckle with Flair regaining his bearings somewhat and getting back to a vertical base! Flair chops Dust but Dust punches Flair! Chop! Punch! Chop! Punch! Chop! Punch! Punch! Punch! A headbutt from Rhodes sends Flair down to the mat! Rhodes is a little staggered himself after that one. But he makes a cover on Flair, hooking the leg. 1... 2... Shoulder Up! Dusty shakes his head in disbelief. What else could Flair take, right? Dusty pulled Flair up again and rammed his head into the steel cage once more, grinding Flair's head into the cage with cheers from the crowd! Flair's head is bleeding profusely as Dusty sets him up for a vertical suplex! Dusty slowly lifts Flair but Flair shifts and Dusty's knee goes out, falling with Flair on top. But Flair doesn't go for the cover, instead he rises up quickly and goes for Dusty's knee, dropping a kneedrop on it before setting up the Figure 4 Leglock...it's successful! Dusty's eyes go wide with pain as Flair cinches the hold in, placing his palms on the mat and rising up for more leverage! Dusty shakes his head and cries out 'no' when asked if he gives up. Flair tells the referee to ask again and then grabs the middle rope when Tommy Young isn't looking. Dusty is in immense pain! That much can be seen. Flair releases the rope before Young turns back around and Flair denies using it but points toward Dusty. Dusty is not one to submit easily though. But Flair uses that middle rope again and the pressure is really put on the American Dream as the crowd tries to tell the referee what is going on. After about a minute and a half in the Figure 4, Dusty has no choice but to submit! Referee Tommy Young signals for the bell and for the door to be opened. [B][U]Ric Flair b. Dusty Rhodes by submission =B+[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Dusty Rhodes[/COLOR][/B] Flair releases the hold and slides to his feet, rubbing his forehead as he is still bleeding like a stuck pig. He is handed the NWA World Title belt...by Arn Anderson?! Tommy Young is down outside the ring and the cage door has been locked again! What's going on?!?! Flair smashes Dusty across the knee with the belt and then pushes it right up against Rhodes' face, saying that the Dream will never again see this belt! Arn Anderson stomps on the fallen Dusty's knee as Flair struts around the ring with the NWA World Title in hand. What a way to end the show! =B [B][SIZE=4]OVERALL RATING=B-[/SIZE] Announcer:[/B] Bob Caudle [B]Colour Commentator:[/B] David Crockett [B]Attendance:[/B] 2,000 (Sold Out) [B]TV Rating:[/B] .86 [B]Notes:[/B] Fans are definitely buzzing about Arn Anderson's involvement after the main event. Isn't he with Larry Zbyszko? And conspicuous by their absence on television were both him and the Valentines. But they do have a big match to prepare for next week. The tv ratings were great this week. A .86 is nothing to scoff at right now. The Fantastics defeated Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw in the preshow in a D match. Arn Anderson defeated Jay Youngblood in the preshow also in a C match.

They both walk out to the podium and stand tall with Ric rubbing the belt. [B]Ric Flair:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Lexington, Virginia and the entire world wanna know: what's causing all this? Whooo. I told you last week and the week before last and every day since I've been here that to be the man you've got to beat the man and last week Dusty Rhodes just couldn't get it done. Whooo. American Dream you have no excuse as to why you're not here tonight. I might have even granted you a rematch but as it is the Nature Boy and his brand new Enforcer here, Double A, Whooo. We are going out to party right here in Lexington. Because you see there is no one here in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling worthy of facing this NWA Champion. There is no one in the world that can beat the Nature Boy along with his Enforcer right here behind me. As a matter of fact..."[/COLOR] Ric walks over to the announcers and looks into the monitor. [B]Ric Flair:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"This belt looks great around my waist, doesn't it? It fits the Nature..."[/COLOR] =C+ [B][COLOR=BLUE]????? ???????[/COLOR][/B] The Nature Boy is interrupted as a video begins to play espousing the talent of a newcomer here to Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. He's a former Florida Champion and he's coming here to take on Ric Flair for the belt in 2 weeks. His name? Barry Windham!!! =C+ As we come back to live footage, Flair is red in the face! He grabs Arn, asking if he knew anything about this and Arn shook his head. [B]Bob Caudle:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"WOW! What a major announcement coming from Jim Crockett! It's gonna be Ric Flair vs. Barry Windham in 2 weeks for the belt!"[/COLOR] [B]David Crockett:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"He's a 2nd generation superstar, Bob! One of the top names in our business right now. He's been red hot down in the South East. What a blockbuster announcement!"[/COLOR] =B [QUOTE][B][U]NWA World Tag Team Titles Match Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood defend against the Midnight Express[/U][/B] As fans were buzzing with that announcement, the NWA World Tag Team Titles were defended here as Steamboat and Youngblood defended against the Mid-Atlantic Tag Champions the Midnight Express with their manager: Woman. This was a pretty good match with a nice back and forth pace to it. Woman helped out her men several times behind the referee's back. But toward the end, Steamboat got momentum and went up top for his Flying Cross Body but he was pushed off by One Man Gang! On the other side of the ring, King Kong Bundy was attacking Jay Youngblood! What an attack by the top contenders, causing the dq here." [B][U]Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood b. the Midnight Express by disqualification =C[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]???? ????[/COLOR][/B] "He's Simply Ravishing, ow!" A music video played hyping the entrance of Rick Rude to Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. It showed him working out and showing off his hard-earned body and at the end he said that he's coming to MACW and will prove he has the best body there. =C- [B][COLOR=BLUE]Ric Flair, Jim Crockett, Jr.[/COLOR][/B] As we cut back to the live feed, Jim Crockett, Jr. walks out to a mixed reaction from the crowd and stands at the podium. [B]Jim Crockett, Jr:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Good evening wrestling fans, I'm...!"[/COLOR] And Crockett is cut off by the emergence of Ric Flair from the back along with Arn Anderson. Flair walks quickly over to the podium. [B]Jim Crockett, Jr.:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"What is the meaning of this?"[/COLOR] [B]Ric Flair:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"You know very well what this is about, Crockett! You set me up! I AM the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I call the shots around here. Windham never challenged me. I never signed a contract to face him!"[/COLOR] [B]Jim Crockett, Jr.:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"That doesn't matter, Ric. You have an obligation to the NWA Board of Directors and to myself specifically. If you choose not face Mr. Windham in two weeks then you will be stripped of that title belt by the Board and I will personally suspend you."[/COLOR] [B]Ric Flair:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"You can't do that! This company would be nothing without me! The NWA NEEDS Ric Flair! They need the Nature Boy to compete."[/COLOR] [B]Jim Crockett, Jr.:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Then don't let me down, Ric. Show up and defend that belt in two weeks like a MAN! And speaking of men, Barry Windham will be here in a match next week to warm up for that title bout."[/COLOR] Ric went to speak and then paused and smiled, nodding as he walked off with Arn, plotting. =C+ [QUOTE][B][U]Wahoo McDaniel vs. Jake Roberts[/U][/B] It's the Native American against the Snake in this bout. Two great masters of in-ring psychology facing one another here and this match didn't disappoint. Each men met with move and counter with neither gaining a real distinct advantage. Late in the bout while Wahoo had the advantage, the snake bag began to move slightly. Wahoo saw this and his eyes went wide and he began backing away with fear! Apparently, Wahoo is afraid of snakes! Jake seized the opportunity to get the advantage and laid Wahoo out with the DDT, getting the pinfall. [B][U]Jake Roberts b. Wahoo McDaniel by pinfall =B[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Jake Roberts, Wahoo McDaniel[/COLOR][/B] Following the bout, Jake walked over to his snake bag and opened it up, sliding the snake out. He walked over to the fallen Wahoo McDaniel and placed the snake on him, smiling and laughing. But, then, Wahoo started to stir and his eyes went wide when he saw the snake and he fainted! =B+ [B][COLOR=BLUE]Dusty Rhodes[/COLOR][/B] The cameras slowly moved up to the announcers. [B]Bob Caudle:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"I don't think Wahoo will want to face Jake again any time soon. But we do have a somber announcement to give you wrestling fans."[/COlOR] [B]David Crockett:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Yes, it appears that as a result of injuries suffered at the hands of Ric Flair and Arn Anderson, Dusty Rhodes will not be able to compete for several weeks. He will be going to see a second doctor this week to determine whether or not he will need surgery for the injury he suffered. But we wish him all the best."[/COLOR] =B- [QUOTE][B][U]One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy vs. Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw [/U][/B] Was this even a match? Valiant and McGraw were dominated in this 'bout' from the get-go in a very short encounter. Valiant ended up suffering from the Avalanche by King Kong Bundy and the 747 Splash by the One Man Gang. Bundy made the pinfall and picked up the win. [B][U]King Kong Bundy and One Man Gang b. Jimmy Valiant and Bugsy McGraw by pinfall =D-[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Road Warriors, Boat and Blood[/COLOR][/B] The cameras went back to the announcers following that bout.

Why don't you tell our fans!"[/COLOR] [B]Bob Caudle:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Wrestling fans, make sure you tune in to Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling next week as we will be seeing the NWA World Tag Team Champions Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood in non-title action against none other than the Road Warriors! The Road Warriors have been physically dominating tag teams here in Mid-Atlantic, including the Brisco Brothers!"[/COLOR] =C+ [B][COLOR=BLUE]Paul Ellering, Road Warriors[/COLOR][/B] On cue, Ellering brings his Road Warriors out there to the announcers' stand. [B]Paul Ellering:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"That's right, Caudle, Crockett. You heard it correctly. My Road Warriors will be taking on Steamboat and Youngblood but they are cowards and won't put their belts on the line against my team. They know that my Legion of Doom will run roughshod over them in a heartbeat just like we did the Brisco Brothers last week. Tell 'em Animal."[/COlOR] [B]Road Warrior Animal:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Last week, you all saw how we manhandled those idiots the Brisco Brothers. They were no match for Road Warrior power. Steamboat and Youngblood will be just another bump in the road for us. Tell 'em Hawk!"[/COLOR] [B]Road Warrior Hawk:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Well, it seems to me that the Road Warriors are a runaway train streamrolling over everybody in our paths, especially those Brisco Brothers. We beat those guys up so bad that they're not even here this week. Steamboat, Youngblood you better take a lesson from the Briscos and run and hide with your tails between your legs next week. If you don't we're going to come in there and just kick your asses."[/COLOR] =C- [QUOTE][B][U]Mr. Perfect vs. Bob Orton, Jr. [/U][/B] This match would mark the in-ring debut of Mr. Perfect for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. He walked out with a smile on his face, chewing gum and slid inside the ring with a white workout towel. He tossed the towel up and caught it behind him before tossing it out of the ring. His opponent, Bob Orton, Jr., has been on a bit of a losing streak since losing to Dory Funk, Jr. Perfect dominated the bout in this one, leaving no doubt as to why he is called Mr. Perfect. He hit a rolling neck snap late in the bout and then caught Orton with the Perfect Knee Lift and got the pinfall. [B][U]Mr. Perfect b. Bob Orton, Jr. by pinfall =D+[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Greg Valentine[/COLOR][/B] A pre-taped interview began with Greg Valentine standing in front of a blue screen. [B]Greg Valentine:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"Tonight is the night, Larry Zbyszko. Tonight you and I go one on one inside this very ring. One of us walks out as the United States Champion, the other leaves the territory for good. Tonight, Living Legend, you are going to pay for what you did to my father and you are going to learn that when the Hammer drops the match is over."[/COLOR] =C+ [QUOTE][B][U]United States Heavyweight Title Match. Johnny Valentine suspended in a cage above the ring. Loser Leaves Town. Greg Valentine defends against Larry Zbyszko [/U][/B] Referee Randy Anderson was inside the ring waiting as first Larry Zbyszko came out and then the U.S. Champion Greg Valentine and his father Johnny Valentine walked out with both of them heading to the cage positioned beside the ring. Johnny gave his son some last minute advice and then stepped inside the cage. It was locked and began to rise above the ring and would remain up there for the length of the match. The Hammer slid inside the ring and went right after Zbyszko, clotheslining the Living Legend down and then mounting and hammering away with rights and lefts! The bell sounded and the match officially began as Zbyszko tried to cover up. The referee finally pulled Valentine back and Zbyszko got outside the ring in a hurry to regroup. The Hammer just stared the Living Legend down and thwarted several attempts by Zbyszko to get back inside the ring. Finally the Living Legend got back in and he began to work a slow pace against the Hammer, taking advantage of Valentine's straight-ahead nature in this bout to catch the Hammer in some mistakes and get several near-falls. Johnny tried to get the crowd behind his son and it slowly began to work and the tide was turned in the Hammer's favor. Valentine went to the knee of Zbyszko, twisting and wrenching it. Zbyszko's eyes widened in pain as Valentine continued his work there. Johnny cheered his son on from the cage as Valentine locked in a Figure 4 Leglock in the center of the ring! Zbyszko flopped in pain, trying to reverse it but Valentine didn't budge! Zbyszko held on as long as he could until..."I Quit! I Quit!" Zbyszko gave up! [B][U]Greg Valentine b. Larry Zbyszko by submission =C-[/U][/B][/QUOTE] [B][COLOR=BLUE]Ted DiBiase, Greg Valentine[/COLOR][/B] Greg released the hold and celebrated as the cage was being lowered and he was handed the United States Title. The celebration was cut short, though, as Ted DiBiase walked out from the back and stood at the top of the ramp. [B]Ted DiBiase:[/B] [COLOR=RED]"I am the Million Dollar Man and on the Million Dollar Man that belt would look nice. Greg Valentine, consider this an official challenge. Drop the cage!"[/COLOR] Greg looked up in horror as the rope seemed to snap and the cage his father was in fell to the mat and hit hard, falling over and leaving Ted DiBiase laughing his dark evil laugh as the show went off the air. =B- [B][SIZE=4]OVERALL RATING=C-[/SIZE] Announcer:[/B] Bob Caudle [B]Colour Commentator:[/B] David Crockett [B]Attendance:[/B] 5,000 (Sold Out) [B]TV Rating:[/B] .75 [B]Notes:[/B] The tv rating wasn't as great as it has been within the past but the positive story here is that we made money! We are now officially over the hump so to speak, in the positive and hopefully we will be able to end the month in the same way. Fans are buzzing about Johnny Valentine's fall tonight from the cage. Will he be alright? We'll have to see next week! In the preshow, Magnum T.A. went to a double countout with Ivan Koloff in a C match. Also in the preshow, Ric Flair beat Rick Martel with a Small Package pin in a B match.
