Greg McNeish Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Fantastic show, as usual, Oldschool. I particularily loved the Andre/Snuka vs. Slaughter/Studd match, with Andre continually getting tagged in, but the ref not allowing it, due to some heelery. Just classic stuff. Now, if only I could improve my record.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets go to the ring... http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/IvanPutski.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/BrutusBeefcake.jpg "Polish Power" Ivan Putski beats Ed Leslie 7:01 Monsoon talks about how we have a couple of well put together wrestlers here, but have to give the advantage to the experienced Putski... Leslie looks good for a bit, nailing a couple of big forearms on Putski, after winning a test of strength due to the leverage he has, because of his height advantage... Putski powers back rolling out of the way of a knee drop, then hitting the polish hammer for the 1...2...3.. RATED: E Event Center w/ Howard Finkel: Rick Martel is there to hype his match tonight with Samula and says he needs someone to watch his back because there are so many variables running around with the Wild Samoan's.. He's brought in a man that has a bone to pick with the Samoan's because of the last time a wrestler brought him in to watch their backs he didn't get the job done... Out walks Andre The Giant... T"he 8th wonder of the world will be in my corner tonight baby" states Martel. RATED: D http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/SuperstarGraham.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/PaulChristy.jpg "Superstar" Billy Graham beat Paul Christy 7:12 Graham spent the first part of the match on the house mic, calling out BlackJack Mulligan... That big ole greasy cowboy aint nothin to the Superstar... I'm lean, I mean, I'm a well oiled Machine and Blackjack we get some unfinished business to take care." Graham then went on to pummel the veteran Christy... Finally putting him away with a full nelson as referee Dick Weurhle raised his arm and it dropped three times...

The Invaders take control early with their speed running circles around Blassie's army... That is until Sarge contacts with a cannon almost decapitating Invader#1.. The match is basically a handicap match as George Steele is pre-occupied with the masks of his own partner and his opponents, that he keeps putting things over his head trying to emulate the others.. Superstar and Slaughter...Could've put Invader #1 away a long time ago, but keep pulling his head up as referee Dick Kroll hits 2 1/2.... Blassie gets on the mic at ringside and states that he is prepared to make an offer to Mr. Wonderful to join the most elite army in wrestling... Tony Garea hot tags in and dropkicks everyone.. He backdrops the Superstar and bodyslams the Sarge, before Steele trips him from the outside allowing Slaughter to lock on a cobra clutch... Garea escapes with a jawbreaker and hot tags in Invader #2, who comes in with fists and kicks for everybody... Invader #2 goes for a high cross bodyblock off the ropes only to be caught by Masked Superstar in a bear hug, who bends him down towards the mat and Slaughter comes off with an elbow for the 1...2...3......

Albano makes sure he is staying as far away from Andre as possible Afa & Sika now start to make their way down to ringside and are cut off by Andre ..Samula shows good athletic ability keeping up with Martel in the ring.

Hanson finally dropped the wrestling bit and just went to brawling and the crowd actually started getting behind him as Hanson really was taking it to Backlund... Hanson ducked a Backlund clotheline and hit a vicious one of his own which drew a 2 3/4 count from Dick Weurhle... The crowd actually popped for Hanson as he looked right in the eyes of the referee "Saying he had him"... Backlund applied an abdominal stretch which Hanson reversed... Backlund then went for an atomic dro, which Hanson reversed into his own and another 2 7/8th count!.. Backlund latched on his reverse chicken wing submission and Hanson fought for the ropes for minutes only to have Backlund pull him back to the center of the ring... Hanson again went for the ropes getting with inches and Backlund dragged him back to the center again, ...

Greg McNeish Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Eddie Gilbert vs Tiger Chung Lee Backlund's boy looks strong, so he can continue to be a feud tool, for the big guy. The Moondogs Rex & Spot vs Pedro Morales & Ivan Putski I'm not big on Putski, and Morales is getting on in years, so I'm giving this one to the Moondogs. I think the new team of Andre and Martel will take the belts later in the night, so the Moondogs need to look good as challengers. Tony Atlas vs "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff I'm keeping with my prediction, that Orndorff will keep rolling, right to a title shot. Rocky Johnson will make his presence felt, to cement his heel status with the New York faithful. The Iron Sheik vs Mil Mascaras In reality, Sheik took the title not long from now, so he's probably a bit more established that Mascaras. He won't be near as good a worker, but hopefully he can learn something. Masked Superstar & George "The Animal" Steele vs Tito Santana & Ricky Steamboat You've got to give my a darn good reason to pick against Steamboat, as he's one of my favourites of all time. Slaughter is the big wheel in Blassie's crew, so these guys can take the fall. Tag Team Title Match Challengers: Andre The Giant & Rick Martel vs Champions The Samoans Afa & Sika This will keep Andre occupied, so that he can stay dominant, without getting himself too involved in the World title picture. A smart move, in my book. Besides, you're all out of face challengers. Steel Cage Match Sgt. Slaughter vs Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka I've predicted a face-heavy card, so far, and this is the place to maintain some balance. Snuka will go for the Splash, off the cage, and miss. Slaughter will pick up the scraps. WWWF World Title Match Challenger: "The Magnificent" Muraco vs Champion: Bob Backlund Muraco is doing a great job as Intercontinental Champion, but not good enough to warrant Backlund dropping the belt. Especially not with Valentine, Orndorff, and Slaughter beating down his door. Backlund's still money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderndaywarrior Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Good diary,I gotta start doing picks for this one... Eddie Gilbert vs. Tiger Chung Lee If this ends up where I think,then Gilbert needs to pick up some wins;besides Eddie has potential while Lee isn't showing us much talent past jobber level anyway. The Moondogs vs. Pedro Morales & Ivan Putski The Moondogs don't really work for me,while Morales & Putski are over with crowd.Win to give them credibility,then later feed them to a good heel team. Tony Atlas vs. "Mr.Wonderful"Paul Orndorff The lesser half of The Soul Patrol goes down as Mr.Wonderful rolls on,hopefully to eventual program with the champ. The Iron Sheik vs. Mil Mascaras Sheik is pretty good in the ring and can get the crowd going,the only thing holding him back is his english kind of sucks so he can't cut a good promo by himself,a manager could fix that though,so I'll give him the nod. Masked Superstar & George"The Animal" Steele vs. Tito Santana & Ricky Steamboat You need heels,and Superstar is a good heel.Tito will probably suck it up to protect Ricky a little bit. Andre the Gaint & Rick Martel vs The Wild Samoans Traditionally this is where Andre takes the occasional loss via his partner getting pinned,Afa & Sika take it with come help from the manager.Would not be at all shocked if Andre killed them after the match is over,though. Sgt.Slaughter vs. Jimmy"Superfly" Snuka The Sarge is another good candidate to go against Backlund;Snuka crashes and burns on the splash and Sarge walks out the door for the win. Magnificent Muraco vs. Bob Backlund Bob is good in the ring(he's alot like the old school NWA champs,like Dory Funk,Jr. or Jack Brisco,his deal is move for move in the ring,not cutting entertaining promos on the mic)."The Rock" is good but i don't think he's quite ready for the next level yet,a good manager could get him there though.

Oldschool Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 Good diary,I gotta start doing picks for this one... Thanks, glad you enjoy... And thanks for updating this mod, so that I could relive my glory years on TEW 2008! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Eddie Gilbert vs Tiger Chung Lee - Unfortunately Lee just screams jobber to me. The Moondogs Rex & Spot vs Pedro Morales & Ivan Putski - Morales and Putski can be huge. Tony Atlas vs "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff - Perhaps I'm going with the underdog in this one but I like Atlas. The Iron Sheik vs Mil Mascaras - The Iron Sheik has to win this and go on a huge run. Masked Superstar & George "The Animal" Steele vs Tito Santana & Ricky Steamboat - Put the superior talent over. Tag Team Title Match Challengers: Andre The Giant & Rick Martel vs Champions The Samoans Afa & Sika - Andre and Martel don't seem like a good team to me. Steel Cage Match Sgt. Slaughter vs Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka - Could see this one going either way, but would love to see the Splash from the top. WWWF World Title Match Challenger: "The Magnificent" Muraco vs Champion: Bob Backlund - Backlund's going to hold onto the title for a while yet.

Wildfire1324 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 QUICK PICK PREDICTIONS: Eddie Gilbert vs Tiger Chung Lee Eddie was great and taken far too soon. You better push him! The Moondogs Rex & Spot vs Pedro Morales & Ivan Putski New contenders for the Samoans perhaps? Tony Atlas vs "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff I'll say Mr. Wonderful gets the win through outside interference. The Iron Sheik vs Mil Mascaras The Sheik BETTER win or I might not read anymore! Iran numbuh one! Masked Superstar & George "The Animal" Steele vs Tito Santana & Ricky Steamboat Steamboat was a god and its a crime how overlooked Tito is historically. Tag Team Title Match Challengers: Andre The Giant & Rick Martel vs Champions The Samoans Afa & Sika But only by DQ or countout. Steel Cage Match Sgt. Slaughter vs Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka You maggot! You puke! You slime! WWWF World Title Match Challenger: "The Magnificent" Muraco vs Champion: Bob Backlund Howdy Doody's not losing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
