Referee Dick Kroll gets right between these two and gets his clean break...Again Muraco powers Backlund into a corner and gives him a little love tap slap, which Backlund counters with a hard slap across the face... Muraco in anger begins to turn beat red and hastily shoves Muraco back into the corner again and before he can do anything, Backlund saps him acrossed the face again... Muraco is furious and wildly throws a big right hand which Backlund ducks and reverses position in the corner and connects with several rights of his own and a monkey flip out... A hip toss and a bodyslam and Muraco heads to the floor, but Backlund is right on his tail... Muraco swings and misses onthe floor and Backlund catches him with an atomic drop which sends Muraco flying into Mr. Fuji...

Mr. Fuji is awaiing and bodyslams the champ.. Muraco follow out and facepants Backlund into steel ringpost and we have some major blood flowing from the forehead of the champion.... Muraco drives some elbow smashes into the cut, further opening the wound and causing Backlund's face to turn into a crimson mask... Referee Dick Kroll steps in to look at the cut to see if Backlund can continue and Backlund begins screaming, "Yes, I can" Muraco slams Backlunds head into the turnbuckle and then hits Backlund with a long standing vertical suplex allowing more and more blood to flow to the head area of Backlund, and allowing Muraco to take control of the match and bring the first 2 and 1/2 count... Muraco now bites at the head of the champ, begins tearing away at his forehead and whips the champ ino the ropes only to be reversed by Backlund who grabs a sleeper hold... Muraco jawbreakers his way out and whips the champ again, Backlund reverses again and goes for a backdrop, but puts his head down and Muraco lifts him up for a piledriver right in the center of the ring..1...2....7/8th!!!!! Backlund kicks out.... Muraco gets angry with Kroll saying his count is to slow.... Muraco goes for an inverted piledriver, but Backlund bridges back and reverses it itno his own inverted piledriver, Backlund is to week to get over for a quick pin attempt, but when he finally does he gets a 2 1/2 count... The two begin exchanging punches right in the middle of the ring and the champ looks to be gaining the edge, only Muraco drives a knee into the midsectin and follows up witha one handed bodyslam and another 2 7/8th count.. Muraco goes to the ring apron and climbs outside but Backlund catches him while he is on the top rope and despite Muraco's pleas not to, Backlund tosses him off the top rope...

Slaughter then runs Snuka across to the other side of the ring and slams Snuka into that side of the cage....Not even 30 seconds into the matchup and Snuka is busted wide open.... Slaughter begins nailing crushing right hands, but as Snuka see's the sight of his own blood, becomes enraged and delivers some big chops across the chest of the Sarge, then grabs Slaughter by the back of the head and slams Slaughter into the cage...

Snuka hits a jumping headbut and down goes Slaughter... Snuka positions himself right on top of Slaughter in the center of the cage and begins blasting away with chops to the head of Slaughter...Snuka standup wipes blood off his forehead and licks it off his hands as his eyes are just wide open with hatred, as Slaughter tries to get to his feet... Slaughter is irish whipped right into the cage again and gets caught between the ropes and the cage... Snuka slams Slaughter's head into the cage again and each time Slaughter bounces back off the rpes and hits the cage again from the momentum of Snuka's slam into the cage... Slaughter starts to scramble and crawl towards the door, asking it to be opened, but Snuka just grabs his by the legs... Snuka has Slaughter by both feet and slingshots Slaughter who goes flying into the cage again... We begin to wonder how Slaughter can see as his face is covered in blood... Slaughter begins to try and climb up the cage and Snuka just climbs the ropes behind him and stands on the top turnbuckle as Snuka begins blasting Slaughter's head into the top of the cage unti Slaugter falls and crotches himself on the top rope.. Snuka looks as if he may climb out, but then just stands perched on the top turnbuckle and delivers a big fist to Slaughter's head as the Sarge gets back to his feet...Another big head but and Slaughter falls back into the rpes getting his arms tangled, allowing "The Supefly" time to walk out the door, but instead Snuka delivers several more karate chops to the head of Slaughter... Snuka looks to be going for a spear into Slaughter as he bounces off the ropes, but Sarge comes untangledand Snuka goes straight through the ropes and headfirst into the cage... Slaughter who looks completely worn down has no energy to make his way to the door, instead takes off his boot and begins driving the steel toe'd tip into the head of Snuka further opeing the wound on Snuka's head... Slaughter whips Snuka into the ropes and drives his boot into his head again and calls for the door... However Slaughter wastes time by trying to put his boot back n... Blassie is encouraging Slaughter to forget the boot, which he does and just as he gets to the door Snuka has just enough time to catch him... Snuka slams Slaughter in the middle of the ringand climbs the turnbuckle... Snuka leaps off but he is met with Slaughter throwing his boot in the face of Snuka as he comes down... Slaughter begins sliding across the ring and Blassie gets the door open again... This time Slaughter is about to crawl out when Snuka lunges and catches him by the legs... Referee Joey Marella, after holding the door open shuts as no more progress was made trying to escape... Slaughter rakes the eyes of Snuka, followed by an elbow and then Slaughter hits the ropes for a big clotheline, putting Snuka down... Slaughter goes for the door againbut Snuka blocks him doing everything he can to hold Slaughter fom escaping...Then in one big shift of momentum Snuka scoops up Slaughter and slams him in the middle of the ring... Snuka then hits a diving head butt... Snuka bounces off the ropes and hits a big splash... However that big exertion of energy Snuka loses his balance and falls to a knee... Snuka then begins to climb the turnbuckle an Slaughter is right behind him... Both men are now standing on the turnbuckle near the top of the cage exchanging blows... Slaughter seems to be getting the better of the two until he headbutts Snuka, which seeme to wake The Superfly up... Snuka hits another head butt and Slaughter is staggered....

All those Iron Sheik predicters, I have two words about Mil Mascaras (creative Control)

Usually when it comes to two words about Mil,the two words are "Won't sell",though i think alot of guys who worked with him might have a different two words for him.

At least he got beat up by The Sheik anyway.

PWI Illustrated: May: Week 4

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/PWI.jpg

A slow week around the wrestlng scene:

WWWF: Just completed their second event since going under new ownership and drew a disapointing 3,600+ to the Garden... The overall card was headlinded by a Muraco vs Backlund world title match that went to a no-contest... Sgt. Slaughter top Jimmy Snuka inside a steel cage and The Samoan's defend their WWWF Tag Team titles against Andre the Giant & Rick Martel... The WWWF was set to re-shape the format of TNT on USA,but those plans were put on the backburner following the breakdown in negotiations of one of the talents they needed to pull off the new format... The WWWF has released several talents following Saturday Night's Madison Square Garden Card... Chief Jay Strongbow, The Invader's and Mil Mascaras were all given their release.

AWA: Continues their hot streak and may pass the WWWF in terms of popularity at any moment... Nick Bockwinkle remains champion, after another great title defense against Greg Gagne... Now we are hearing reports that the AWA, may be looking at signing away a major name star, that would be a huge blow to the WWWF

GCW: Are trying to get their feet back under them after a crushing loss of losing their television programming on WTBS... Hulk Hogan is on board, but yet to appear.. Terry Gordy also just recently signed and Tommy Rich and Ole Anderson just captured the vacant Georgia National Tag Team Titles.

HCW: Things are also heating up in Houston where Jay Youngblood recently captured the HC Global Heavyweight Championship... Manny Fernandez, Gino Hernandez, Dick Slater, Tommy Rich have been putting on great shows as of late in the Lonestar state.

BHK1978 · August 6, 2009

Screw you Mil Mascaras!!!!

Whenever I do my picks I never think about DQ or Count Out finishes. Not sure why, but the thought never crosses my mind.

WWWF Behind The Scenes

BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE WWWF

This is a quick out of character behind the scenes look at WWWF

2 1/2 Months into the New Owner's regime of the WWWF

Finances

April: We did well earning $180,725 in revenue

May: We lost #38,791

June: (So Far) We've lost $25,126

Where its going: Obviously we probably overspend for the arena's that we are using , but we think it is important for our product ot becomes synonymous with these facilities.. Madison Square Garden, The Boston Garden and Philadelphia Spectrum all are quite expensive to book

Too Many wrestlers on our roster... We have way more workers than necessary, but feel its important to keep churning the bottom of the roster, so fans dont get tired of see-ing the same enhancement talents and openers... Some of these talents also only work in the region that they have some popularity... ex. (Pete Dorherty in Boston, Rene Goulet in Ontario, SD Jones in Philadelphia).... Attendance has really dropped lately in the Tri-State area as well, which only hurts our cause

TALENT

Even considering we are way overstaffed with workers, the majority of the workers seem happy... Bruno Sammartino has shown some displeasure at how often he is being used... Others such as Mil Mascaras and Cheif Jay Strongbow were recently let go... Invader #1 had irritated some workers with a prank, leading us to give them their release as well... Rocky Johnson has been upset at the amount of losses he has taken lately, but that was part of a storyline..

We continue to look to add new talent... Dino Bravo brings us another worker with some popularity in Canada as we continue to try and increase our popularity north of the border... Talent signed by the new regime in recent months has been Blackjack Mulligan who is involved in a program with Superstar Billy Graham... Paul Orndorff, who currently is in a storyline of being the biggest free agent in the WWWF and has yet to be pinned since arriving.... Greg Valentine and Ricky Steamboat both are slowly building some momentum and figure to get involved with title scene and work their way up the card in forth coming months... Managers Jimmy Hart, Johnny Valiant and King Curtis Iaukea have all begun working with wrestlers over the last month and a half

Still looking to add some talent and have to continue to fight off raids from other prootions... A couple of big name talents have been approached by the AWA who we are at war with, It is not WWWF policy to discuss on-going negotiations of current wrestlers signed by the WWWF... We also lost out on some other talent, recently... Jesse Ventura turned us down after we felt his demands were just to much, to give into, in order to bring him to the WWWF... Tony Parisi, Mike Rotundo, Barry Windham have turned down numerous opportunities to even negotiate with the WWWF.

Television

TNT continues to be live every Tueday on USA... We will look into changing up the format of that show in future negotiations which will begin in August... We have seen ratings range from. 24 to .32 for TNT. All Star Wrestling is taped on Wednesday Night and aired Saturday Mornings nationwide via syndicated networks... All Star wrestling is used mostly to put over wrestlers that are set to appear on up-coming big event shows... Ratings are generally around .16 for All Star Wrestling..

Upcoming Schedule:

For the month of June we have just 2 big events... Week 3 in Boston, Massachussets and week 4 in New York, New York at Boston Garden and Madison Square Garden respectively

For the months of July and August the WWWF will not run in the Boston Garden (there is no AC in that building, so the temperature inside can be unbearable...However we will have shows at The Philadelphia Spectrum and Madison Square Garden both months... We will be in Philly on week 2 and New York on week 4.

Competiton:

Nick Bockwinkle and the AWA are kicking our butts, lately... GCW and MACW have taken a back seat recently especially due to them osing their national TV contract... We had approach Maple Leaf Wrestling about becoming our developmental territory, but they are outdrawing us in Canada, so why should they...

BHK1978 · August 12, 2009

Others such as Mil Mascaras were recently let go...

Can't say I will miss you and your creative control Mil Mascaras even if you were one of the biggest stars in Mexican wrestling history!

NON-Title Match-Up
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/BobBacklund.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/cpevans31/JohnnyRodz.jpg
WWWF World Heavyweight Champion: Bob Backlund beat "The Upredictable" Johnny Rodz 10:30 The match started out as a true scientific matchup, in which Bob Backlund just completely outshined Johnny Rodz, but Rodz took over with a eye rake and a low blow... Rodz even hit a clotheline for a 2 1/2 count... BAcklund monkey flipped Rodz out of orner and firemen carried him in the center of the ring several times before locking in a cross faced chicken wing at the ten and a half minute mark and getting the submission victory RATED: C-

After the match Gorilla Monsoon grabbed Bob Backlund at ringside and talks about the champ has a tough road ahead of him... Backlund, "Well coming up in a couple of weeks The Magnificent Muraco and I are in a steel cage match, and I vow to finally put Mr. Muraco away as I unfortunately have yet to be able to...... Backlund is interupted as Sgt. Slaughter walks up and stands right i his face... Slaughter, "Backlund you puke, you dont need to worry because that match with Muraco in New York City will be my first title defenseafter a whip your butt from corner to corner in Boston, Massachussets the week before that... (Slaughter steps ven closer invading Backlund's personal space and we can see the spitspewing as he talks) How dare you talk about Muraco, how dare you look pat me... Everyone has seen what I've done to Jimmy Snuka and now he is nowhere to be found... Backlund that title is mine in 2 weeks... RATED: B

Sgt. Slaughter w/ "Classy" Freddie Blassie beat Abe Jacobs
Slaughter made short work of the veteran Jacobs... He just tossed him around the ring like a rag doll... Slaughter hit a running cannon clotheline on Jacobs while he was prone up against the turnbuckle... Slaughter hit another powerful clotheline in the center of the ring and covered for 2 1/2, but the only reason it wasn't a three count was because he lifted Jacobs shoulders off the mat then applied the Cobra Clutch to an already unconscious Jacobs....

"Polish Power" Ivan Putski & Pedro Morales beat Charlie Fultan & Tiger Chung Lee Monsoon and Okerlund put over these two as two legends in the WWWF and while we may not see them contend for the world title, their experience, their spirit, their desire for one last run, would make them excellent challengers to The Wild Samoans World Tag Team Titles... Putski and Morales just completely out smart Chung Lee and Fultan... They tag in when their opponents cant see the tag. And sometimes they even tag in without tagging, instead Putski and Morales ust clap their hands like it was a tag and enter...Fultan is hit with a Polish hammer then walks right into a Morales atomic back breaker for the 1...2...3.....

Okerlund states he may want to specify which Sammartino he crippled, because the audience might be confused... Monsoon adds, "I'm sure that's what the Hammer is wanting people to think and we still haven't even had report on David Sammartino... (A highlight clip of Valentine wrenching in the figure four last week on David Sammartino is shown, and then David being carried out is follow) McGraw takes the offense right to Valentine with several shoulderblocks, then a dropkick, which sends Valentine to the outside for a short walk... Valentine shoulderblocks McGraw from the apron andthen dumps him to the floor where he slams him on the concrete...

Pro Wrestling Illustrated Weekly

WWWF: World Wide Wrestling Federation continues to struggle putting people in seats in recent weeks, but that hasn't stopped them in their war with the AWA... The WWWF stole another AWA top talent in Bobby "The Brain" Heenan who just recently was announced as the new manager for "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff...Orndorff signed with Heenan after weeks of being courted by the likes of Jimmy Hart, Mr. Fuji, Fred Blassie and Johnny Valiant...

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine seems to be dong some legend hunting, as he has drawn the ire of Bruno Sammartino recently.. Valentine recently put Bruno's son David on the shelf with a figure four leglock and now rumors are swirling that Sammartino may resign as commisioner to seek revenge on The Hammer..

A couple of new alliances have formed in recent wees and may be about to get in line as challengers for the WWWF Tag Team Titles... Pedro Morales & Ivan Putski have joind forces as has the trio of Rick Martel, Andre The Giant and newcomer Dino Bravo, who have been calling themselves The French Connection...

The WWWF still has two big events this month with Saturday Night shows at The Boston Garden and at Madison Square Garden the following week... Bob Backlund has signed to defend his title against Sgt. Slaughter next week in Boston and the following week in New York he defends versus The Magnificent Muraco... If Backlund loses to Slaughter in Boston, Muraco will still recieve his return title match in New York, but will face Slaughter and Backlund would get a return match the follwing month...

A couple of new faces recently popping up on WWWF pre-show's in recent weeks has been the 17 year old Tonga Kid... Buddy Landell & Doug Somers have been teaming lately and have put together a string of wins... Scotty McGhee has just arrived from Championship Wrestling from Florida and Billy Red Lyons is expected to become involved with television tapings that are based out of Canada for the WWWF.

Excellent diary,I really like the way you are booking;getting maximum mileage out of the roster you started with(for the most part) without going on any insane signing sprees (a la a certain VKM....),it's nice to see different people in the spotlight and it makes your work stand out.As well you feuds and matches are all very clean and logical(similar to a Bill Watts/Jim Cornette style of booking with the added twist of having face work on top instead of the heel),the interviews/promos are just spectacular, you really nail the personality and styles of the different wrestlers exactly as i remember them "way back when",that really adds to the immersion.

Great work,keep it up.

TNT is used to get over storylines and angles for the most part... All Star wrestling is mainly for the promo's to hype up the months big events.... And each month I run 2-3 big events, wich are more or less house shows that hit the Boston Garden, Philly Spectrum and Madison Square Garden... However I have to admit I am a bit guilty of going on a VKM spending spree (Steamboat, Valentine, Orndorff, Sheik, Heenan, Mulligan as well as countless guys brought in as enhancement talent or openers) Anyways, glad your enjoying

Even on your "spree" you brought in all people who realistically work the WWF around that timeframe(jobbers excluded,but most enhancement types ping around alot anyway so it's not like it hurt anything);I know it's tempting to try and run out and grab Brody,Blanchard,The Andersons,etc. but you've done great at keeping yourself true to the flavor of the early/mid 80's WWF.

You can tell that Oldschool understands this particular era of wrestling, and it really gives this thing a unique flavor.
