Beejus Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR* Friday Week 3 December 1989 The Iron Sheik vs. Eddie Gilbert Ah, being midcard job material. Maybe that'll make Sheik humble. Butch Reed vs. The Gravedigger Really surprised to see the immense depush for Bigelow on the last show. Obviously huge things in line for the Gravetaker. Bob Orton vs. Paul Orndorff Ha, match of former associates. Nifty. NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Robert Gibson Man, the Express really need a kick in the tail to go up the card a little. So weird seeing them at JTTS level here. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 3 December 1989 Wild Samoans vs. Road Warriors When in doubt, the Warriors win. Though a DQ wouldn't shock me to give them a match at Starrcade. C'mon, the Road Warriors HAVE to be doing something at Starrcade! Dick Slater vs. Eddie Gilbert At least you answered my question of where Cowboy was at very well. Would like to point out how much I hate the pic that you use for Gilbert here. I know it's the one he's set to in the database, but ugh. Just looks so bad. Heel turn him sometime soon so that you can use a better picture please? lol NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Jason Knight Nothing to see or say here, just moving along. Very nice to see the title defended constantly though, even if it is just jobber squash after jobber squash. Terry Funk vs. Junkyard Dog Funker getting himself more momentum in the feud with Hotstuff. Lex Luger and The Skyscrapers vs. Ric Flair and The Steiner Brothers Were it Stinger in the match instead of Lex, I would say the heels gain momentum tonight. But it's not.

jhd1 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Bam Bam...lost. I am going to have to rethink my perception of this universe Great, great show and a huge main event fully deserving an A*. NWA POWER HOUR Friday Week 3 December 1989 The Iron Sheik vs. Eddie Gilbert Butch Reed vs. The Gravedigger Bob Orton vs. Paul Orndorff NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Robert Gibson WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 3 December 1989 Wild Samoans vs. Road Warriors Eventually someone I like is going to win...I hope! Dick Slater vs. Eddie Gilbert Quite looking forward to this Gilbert-Funk feud. NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Jason Knight No matter how universe shattering Bam Bam's defeat was, in no parallel world is Jason Knight winning this match. Terry Funk vs. Junkyard Dog Yes, you read that correctly. I. Have picked. Terry Funk. I told you my perception has changed! Lex Luger and The Skyscrapers vs. Ric Flair and The Steiner Brothers Flair edges it really. Should be a good bout, but maybe not as good as last weeks...Woooo!

Oldschool Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The Iron Sheik vs. Eddie Gilbert Sheik is a JTTS nowadays Butch Reed vs. The Gravedigger If Gravedigger didnt lose to Bam Bam, he wont lose to Reed Bob Orton vs. Paul Orndorff This match is main event material in 1985... in 1989 it serves to elevate Orndorff NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Robert Gibson defense #3 for Muta *NOTE: NWA Power Hour predictions WILL count toward the prediction contest. However, it will not be given a full writeup as it is a B-Show. Quote: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 3 December 1989 Heels Always Listed First Wild Samoans vs. Road Warriors Good matchup but Road Warriors are still the road warriors Dick Slater vs. Eddie Gilbert Gilbert going places and Slater is not NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Jason Knight Muta dominates every aspect of this match Terry Funk vs. Junkyard Dog We've got some great 1985 WWF matches going on this week... except its 1989 and Funk wins big Lex Luger and The Skyscrapers vs. Ric Flair and The Steiner Brothers Going with the good guys...

Ritchardo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR* The Iron Sheik vs. Eddie Gilbert Hach-Puh! The Shiek is yesterday's news! Butch Reed vs. The Gravedigger Seems like the Jesus push is on after all for Mean Mark! Bob Orton vs. Paul Orndorff If only the Rowdy One was in the NWA at this point NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Robert Gibson You can say what you will about Muta, he's a fighting champion at least WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Wild Samoans vs. Road Warriors Road Warriors = Greatest US Tag Team of all time Dick Slater vs. Eddie Gilbert Ex-J-Tex fails to win over his old friends by dropping to Gilbert NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Jason Knight Squash-tastic for Muta Terry Funk vs. Junkyard Dog By DQ. I see Eddie Gilbert getting his revenge. Lex Luger and The Skyscrapers vs. Ric Flair and The Steiner Brothers Although my gut instinct says Flair and The Steiners should win, The Skyscrapers have to go into Starrcade looking strong with Scott and Rick the underdogs (despite being champions). Likewise, the drama of Flair/Sting and Steamboat/Luger will be served by having Flair look a little weaker and Luger a little stronger. Rick Steiner to eat the pin from Sid.

I think this show might have actually hurt our popularity overall. The Power Hour In a match that had some good action and average heat, 'Hotstuff' Eddie Gilbert defeated The Iron Sheik in 5:55 by submission with a Figure Four Leglock...C In an extremely short match, The Gravedigger defeated Butch Reed in 3:58 by pinfall with a Tombstone...C+ In a bout that featured great action and average heat, Paul Orndorff defeated 'Cowboy' Bob Orton in 5:33 by pinfall after a distraction from Junkyard Dog...B- In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, The Great Muta defeated Robert Gibson in 6:09 by pinfall with a Moonsault Press.

This will also be the year of the 4 Horsemen. We may only have three right now but the fourth man is coming at Starrcade. Tell 'em Barry." Barry Windham "You're right, Stinger. Our fourth man will be in the building in a couple of weeks at Starrcade. Who will it be? You'll find out then. But also at Starrcade, the three of us have some business to take care of. Paul Orndorff, you've got my special attention at the biggest pay-per-view of the year. They used to call you Mr. Wonderful? After Starrcade, they'll be calling you Mr. Vegetable. Right, Lex?" Lex Luger "That's right, Barry. At Starrcade, they'll be calling me a Dragon Slayer. Look at these arms, guys? Does Ricky Steamboat really think that he has a chance? He better not. He'd be better off not even showing up." Sting "Gentlemen, at Starrcade, three will become IV. OOOWWW!"

Neither of these teams have a match at Starrcade right now so both will be trying to show why they deserve to be at the granddaddy of them all! A definite lack of selling by both teams as members of each team seemed to pop back up after every move. The Road Warriors got the advantage toward the end and Hawk went to the top turnbuckle as Animal lifted Samu onto his shoulders. Hawk leaped -- DOOMSDAY DEVICE! Samu got turned inside out!

We're going to show you why you only have one inferior belt among the three of you. Comparing that United States Title to my gold belt would be like comparing ice cream to horse manure. Whoooo!

No, I will be inside a ring looking across toward you and your pretty face. I will be reminded of all those jocks and all those bullies who attacked me over and over and over again.

Luger and The Skyscrapers each had seperate entrances, while Flair and The Steiner Brothers also had seperate entrances. Missy Hyatt was absent from ringside for this match after taking the shot from Eddie Gilbert earlier in the night. Scott Steiner and Lex Luger kicked things off. Scott showed off his superior athletic ability versus the power and muscular physique of Luger. Scott hit Luger with a high angle belly to belly suplex that sent Luger halfway across the ring where Sid Vicious tagged himself in. Sid stood toe to toe with Scott Steiner. Scott tried to get into a fist-fight with Sid, which was a big mistake. Sid floored Scott with a clothesline and then picked him up off the mat -- press slam back down!

Dan Spivey came in, clapping his hands in the air to make the referee think a tag has been made. Spivey and Sid sent Scott to the ropes -- double clothesline! Scott Steiner definitely not fairing well in the early-goings of this match. Spivey picked up Scott and whipped him into the turnbuckles. Spivey followed him in but Scott moved out of the way! Spivey hit chest-first in the corner and then turned and Scott hooked a waistlock -- belly to belly suplex! What a move! Scott dropped to his knees and crawled toward his corner.

I don´t even remember who was in these teams other than Simmons being in Doom so I go with him NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Steve Armstrong Doh WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 4 December 1989 Heels Always Listed First Dan Spivey vs. Scott Steiner Sid is the bigger name on their team so Spivey takes the fall here Cactus Jack and Dick Slater vs. Z-Man and Eddie Gilbert Sleter looks like a weak link here Sid Vicious vs. Rick Steiner Sid takes the win over Rick to make the score even Sting vs. Paul Orndorff Tting won´t lose so close on Starcate NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Mike Rotundo gets a shot vs. Ric Flair Flair obviously takes this one NWA Starrcade Sunday Week 4 December 1989 Heels Always Listed First Terry Funk vs. Eddie Gilbert Funk have had the upper hand so far so logic says that Gilbert wins but I´m just not sold on Gilbert having what it takes to beat Funk who was Flair´s challenger just a little while ago NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Flyin' Brian I would count this as Muta´s first real title defense (meaning that it´s the first time Muta faces someone who isn´t outsider, jobber or both) so I doubt he is losing Barry Windham vs. Paul Orndorff Windham has more going with that four Horseman thing Cactus Jack vs. Z-Man Since I gived the tag match to Z-Man, Cactus Jack takes this one though I wouldn´t be surprised if this one continues to next PPV NWA World Tag Team Titles Match: The Skyscrapers get a shot vs. The Steiner Brothers Could go either way but I think that Steiners need longer title run Bob Orton vs. Junkyard Dog Neither guy haven´t been strong but JYD is the guy who I think have lost more and so I give this one to Orton NWA United States Title Match: Lex Luger defends vs. Ricky Steamboat Not sure about this one but since I predicted no title change in other title match guess it shoud happen here with this being big show andd all. NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Sting gets a shot vs. Ric Flair I believe that Sting will win but not get a title so he gets right to use that Four Horseman name but title stays on Flair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchardo Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR* Kevin Sullivan vs. The Gravedigger Purple Haze run-in to assist Sullivan?!! Nah! Gravedigger continues his streak Mike Rotundo vs. Jason Knight Good performance against Muta might've raised his stock a little, but Knight's still doing the job with Mike set for a match with Flair Rip Rogers vs. Ricky Steamboat Anything less would be a 'rip-off'. Ho. Ho, and indeed, ho. Doom vs. Rock 'N' Roll Express Pig in a poke really but my logic is that with the abolition of the Freebirds, there are only two heel teams in the NWA and the Wild Samoans have feuded with both the Warriors and Steiners so a new team have to be added to the mix - Doom are perfect for the role until the big decision is taken to turn one of the mega face teams... NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Steve Armstrong Solid building of Muta by having him on TV every week WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Dan Spivey vs. Scott Steiner Tough one but it's the stronger Steiner against the weaker Skyscraper. Cactus Jack and Dick Slater vs. Z-Man and Eddie Gilbert The presence of Dick Slater tips the scales in favour of Z-Man and Gilbert Sid Vicious vs. Rick Steiner Even the showdown at 1-1. Sting vs. Paul Orndorff Sting/Flair is the match of the year both need to look strong going in... NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Mike Rotundo gets a shot vs. Ric Flair Mike Rotundo vs Sting for the NWA World Heavyweight Title and the rights to the Varsity Club doesn't have the same ring to it... Call me crazy! NWA Starrcade Terry Funk vs. Eddie Gilbert Gilbert's had a great rub from this build but Terry needs to go over if the feud's to continue and I can't see any Funk/Gilbert feud being settled in a normal match! NWA World Television Title Match: The Great Muta defends vs. Flyin' Brian Muta's built up a lot of wins with the title over the past few weeks and this will help legitimise the belt - Pillman's a great long term prospect but it's too soon to rush the belt on to him. Barry Windham vs. Paul Orndorff A great match-up but the easiest pick of the night for me - Windham and the 'New' Horsemen need to take the initiative. Cactus Jack vs. Z-Man Z-Man's been on the back foot for the duration of this feud, a good win here won't hurt Cactus, especially if he comes off the stronger in the feud. With the build involved (based on Zenk's good looks) I can't see this feud finishing in a regular match - there has to be a risk to Tom's pretty face! NWA World Tag Team Titles Match: The Skyscrapers get a shot vs. The Steiner Brothers The Steiners do what the Road Warriors couldn't and beat The Skyscrapers - leading to a heel turn from everyone's favourite Chicago streetfighters. Bob Orton vs. Junkyard Dog Job-off! JYD to take the win and keep the crowd happy. They'll need it... NWA United States Title Match: Lex Luger defends vs. Ricky Steamboat Lex is stuck as #2 heel at the moment with nowhere to go - but if there's going to be dissent in the ranks between the new Horsemen, I think Luger is likely to be the source, he needs the win to give him legitimate reason for being upset at not getting his chance. Ricky meanwhile is in a pseudo-Jake Roberts role as the man who gets them ready for the Champ. NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Sting gets a shot vs. Ric Flair The face in pursuit storyline is always sweeter than the heel! I smell interference from The Fourth Horseman! I'm going for Sid to take that role by the way (assuming you've not managed to pinch Arn, Tully or Dusty from Vince - Dusty Rhodes in the Horsemen against Flair... that'd be a storyline! You've the makings for a great PPV there - It's been built in such a way that you could build convincing arguments for either side to win pretty much all of the matches. I'm interested to see where you go from here - particularly with the Tag division - just an opinion but while it's very strong at the top there doesn't seem to be much coming through underneath at the moment, not a criticism you understand, I'm sure you've got it covered, more a point of interest as I'm having similar issues with my own diary at the moment!

jhd1 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 <p>With three shows of predictions plus comments I'd end up with a post nearly as long as the show!

angeldelayette Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/WCW.jpg WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 4 December 1989 Location: Dragon Stadium South Lake Texas (Mid South) Attendance: 10,000 Overall Rating: B+ TV Rating: 2.51 There was a feeling that a number of the angles used did not reach the standards set by the in-ring action. This show can be considered a success, it should have increased our popularity. The Power Hour In an extremely short match, The Gravedigger defeated Kevin Sullivan in 4:13 by pinfall with a Tombstone...B- In an extremely short match, Mike Rotundo defeated Jason Knight in 1:33 by pinfall with an Airplane Spin...C In an extremely short match, Ricky Steamboat defeated Rip Rogers in 4:24 by pinfall with a Flying Body Press...C+ In an extremely short match, Rock 'N' Roll Express defeated Doom in 3:45 when Robert Gibson defeated Ron Simmons by pinfall with a Double Dropkick...B In a match that had some good action but not much in the way of heat, The Great Muta defeated Steve Armstrong in 6:26 by pinfall with a Moonsault Press. The Great Muta makes defence number 5 of his NWA Television title...C http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg Match #1 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/danspivey2.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/theadorerlong.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/ScottSteiner22.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/missyhyatt.jpg Dan Spivey vs. Scott Steiner [The show begins with the entrances of 'Dangerous' Dan Spivey and one half of the NWA World Tag Team Champions in Scott Steiner. Missy Hyatt came out this time sporting some bruises from being hit last week. This was an open bout between these two with both men showing what they've got. Spivey went for a Choke Slam late in the match but Steiner was able to get out of it and nail Spivey with a belly-to-belly suplex! Scott twirled his finger around to signal for the finish and whipped Spivey to the ropes -- Frankensteiner! What a move on the big man! Scott makes a cover: 1 -- 2 -- 3! The Steiner Brothers pick up a victory here.] Winner: Scott Steiner (Via Pinfall @ 5:56) Match Rating: B- http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg [Time for another pre-recorded video...] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/rickysteamboat2.jpg [...This time it's Ricky Steamboat in front of an NWA background...] Ricky Steamboat "Lex Luger, last week you locked me inside a room like an animal. But you see like an animal I am more than prepared to attack you. We are just one day away from my shot at your NWA United States Heavyweight Title belt. Lex, you better be prepared and not worried about your fourth horseman because the Dragon is walking away with your title." [...Ricky just nods to the camera and we head elsewhere.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg [That elsewhere is somewhere Jim Ross is yelling about...] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/greatmuta.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/brianpillman.jpg [...The Great Muta and Flyin' Brian are fighting in the back! The crowd gets into it a little bit though not too much. Muta goes for that mist but Brian blocks it with his arm up. Brian hits a dropkick backstage there on the floor! Brian looks down at Muta as the fun police come to break things up.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg Match #2 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/cactusjack3.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/dickslater.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/tomzenk.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/eddiegilbert-1.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/missyhyatt.jpg Cactus Jack and Dick Slater vs. Z-Man and Eddie Gilbert [A halfway decent tag team bout though it was extremely short. Cactus Jack went after Z-Man early on and bit him on the forehead! Cactus raked at his flesh until Z-Man was able to tag out to Gilbert. Cactus tagged out to Dick Slater and pretty soon it was a four man brawl. Cactus hit a Cactus Clothesline to Z-Man, sending them both over the top rope to the floor. This left Eddie and Dick Slater inside the ring where Eddie clamped on the Figure Four Leglock. Outside the ring, Z-Man drew back to throw a punch and caught Missy Hyatt in the face with his elbow. Missy went to the ground as Dick Slater gave in to the Figure Four.] Winners: Z-Man and Eddie Gilbert (Via Submission @ 3:37) Match Rating: C+ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg [Time for another pre-recorded interview...] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/sting6.jpg [...This one has Sting swinging his arms back and forth and jumping on his toes...] Sting "Ric Flair, we are less than twenty four hours away from the biggest pay-per-view in the history of time: STARRCADE 1989! I am going to get a PRIZE and that prize is the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Not only that but I am going to get the use of the Four Horsemen name and I will be bringing the fourth Horseman with me. Starrcade is going to be one major pay-per-view. Ric Flair, there won't be any stylin' and profilin'. There won't be any excuses. There will be just you and me inside that ring. OOOWWW! It's gonna be showtime!" [...Sting looks pumped and we head back to the ring.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg Match #3 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/SidVicious2.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/theadorerlong.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/RickSteiner3.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/missyhyatt.jpg Sid Vicious vs. Rick Steiner [The second of our two matches pitting the Steiner Brothers against the Skyscrapers was not as well received as the first match. It was an open showdown where both Sid and Rick Steiner showed that they can hang with each other. Rick took Sid down with a stiff Steinerline and made a cover: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout! Sid got back up and took Rick Steiner down with a clothesline of his own. He picked up Rick and hooked him -- Power Bomb! He picked up Rick Steiner again -- Choke Slam! He made the cover: 1 -- 2 -- 3!] Winner: Sid Vicious (Via Pinfall @ 6:24) Match Rating: C+ [...Following the match, Sid Vicious lifted Rick Steiner and threw him into the corner. He began throwing stiff shots and that is when two men came running down the aisle...] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/danspivey2.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/ScottSteiner22.jpg [...Dan Spivey and Scott Steiner battled all the way to the ring and then inside. Scott fought valiantly against both Skyscrapers but with his brother down the numbers game was too much. The Skyscrapers hit Scott Steiner with a Double Power Bomb! Sid turned to Dan and shoved him, yelling at him about losing the match earlier. Dan Spivey yelled back at him and Theodore R. Long stepped in and seperated the two, escorting them to the back since their damage was done.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg [Time for another pre-recorded interview...] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/ricflairc.jpg [...This time it's the NWA World Heavyweight Champion 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair!...] Ric Flair "Starrcade. The top pay-per-view in the NWA. 1983, Ric Flair wins the NWA World Title from the great Harley Race. 1984, Ric Flair defeats Dusty Rhodes to retain the NWA World Title and win 1 million dollars. 1985, Ric Flair pinned Dusty Rhodes again but the match was turned by another referee who gave Dusty Rhodes the win by disqualification. 1986, Ric Flair and Nikita Koloff wrestle to a double disqualification. 1987, Ric Flair defeats Rugged Ronnie Garvin to win back the NWA World Title. 1988, Ric Flair defeats Lex Luger to retain the NWA World Title. Are you sensing a pattern here, Sting? Are you clueing in to exactly what Starrcade means to Ric Flair? Whoooo. Starrcade is Ric Flair and Ric Flair is Starrcade. I have never been beaten for this title at Starrcade and it's not gonna start tomorrow night. This NWA World Title means everything to me. That means that if I have to rake your eyes, I'm gonna do it! If I have to rake my nails down your back, I'm gonna do it! If I have to Whooooo give you a low blow, I'm gonna do it! Nothing is going to stop me from walking away as the NWA World Champion. You can bet on it, you can bank on it. Tomorrow night there is gonna be a celebration after Starrcade. Whooooo!" [...Ric looked intense looking at the camera and we head back to the ring.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg Match #4 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/sting6.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/PaulOrndorff4.jpg Sting vs. Paul Orndorff [it's time for our semi main event and what a matchup it should be. Due to the vicious attack last week by Barry Windham, Paul Orndorff is wrestling with a cast on his arm in this match. The NWA wanted to grant him the week off but he wouldn't hear of it. Sting started out quickly, staying to the side of the cast so that Orndorff can't grab ahold of him. Sting took Orndorff to the mat with a sharp clothesline and then kicked the cast! He stomped on it a couple of times and the crowd booed the vicious nature of Sting. Sting pulled Orndorff to his feet and sent him into the turnbuckle. Sting followed him in -- Stinger Splash -- Missed! Orndorff got out of the way and he clotheslines Sting over the top rope to the floor with his one good arm! Orndorff looks down at Sting as the man from Venice Beach California pulls himself to his feet...] [...Orndorff and Sting traded blows for about six minutes before Sting started to take control. The number one contender hit Orndorff with a discus punch and then another stomp on that cast! Sting pulled Orndorff up and whipped him into a corner where Orndorff hit with spaghetti legs! Sting backed up and then charged -- Stinger Splash! The move connected and Orndorff falls to the mat. Sting grabs the legs -- Scorpion Deathlock! The crowd boos as Orndorff tries to fight it! Orndorff reaches out for the ropes but he is only close enough with his casted hand and he can't grab the ropes! Sting drags Orndorff to the center of the ring and Orndorff has no choice but to submit!] Winner: Sting (Via Submission @ 8:56) Match Rating: B+ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/NWA-1.jpg Match #5 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/mikerotundo.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/ricflairc.jpg NWA World Heavyweight Title Match Mike Rotundo gets a shot vs. Ric Flair [As this main event gets started, the crowd sits back and watches, expecting a technical classic between these two. The beginning of the match does not disappoint as both men go toe to toe and wrestle to two stalemates. Rotundo takes the first advantage in the match with a sharp side headlock takeover, getting a two count immediately but Flair is not going to be beaten that easily. Flair slowly fights his way to his feet and sends Rotundo to the ropes. Flair wraps a Sleeperhold on Rotundo early on! Rotundo struggles within it and manages to push to the ropes to get the hold broken. Flair releases and pushes Rotundo in the corner. A hard knife-edge chops echoes throughout the arena! Flair with another and another! The crowd releases a 'Whooooo' with each one. Flair grabs Rotundo and irish whips him to the other side. Flair follows him in but meets nothing but the corner! Rotundo rolls him up: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout!...] [...Rotundo has kept the advantage and around the seven minute mark he locks Flair in an abdominal stretch! Flair cries out in pain but shakes his head when asked if he wants to give it up. Rotundo reaches over and uses the ropes for leverage! The crowd tries to get Tommy Young to look but by the time the official looks, Rotundo has released the ropes. He shakes his head when Young questions him and then Rotundo says to ask Flair. As Tommy Young turns his back, Rotundo grabs the ropes again and Flair cries out in pain! Tommy Young finally sees the ropes and makes Rotundo break the hold. Rotundo sends Flair down to the mat and he says it's over! He picks up Flair and Flair rakes his eyes! The Nature Boy gathers his strength as he gets up and he begins chopping the chest of Rotundo again! Flair takes down Rotundo with a big hip toss and he makes the cover: 1 -- Kickout...] [...Flair continues with the control, grabbing Rotundo and dropping him in a shinbreaker! Flair releases a 'Whooooo' and the crowd gets on their feet! Flair begins to strut across the ring and then he bounces off the ropes -- Kneedrop! Rotundo grabs his forehead in pain as Flair moves around him and grabs the legs -- Figure 4 Leglock! Flair gives Rotundo a little taste of his own medicine by using the ropes for leverage! The Dirtiest Player In The Game releases before Tommy Young sees him holding on to the ropes! Rotundo fights and struggles to get the Figure Four turned over. He raises up on his hands, pushing upward but he can't quite get the strength to turn things around. Rotundo looks to the official -- and gives up! Rotundo gave up!] Winner: Ric Flair (Via Submission @ 9:59) Match Rating: A [...Ric slowly breaks the holds and he is handed his NWA World Title as he finished off defense number five. Ric gets his hand raised as a figure walks out from the back...] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA/sting6.jpg [...Sting looks toward the ring and the big showdown, the big staredown is made between these two stellar athletes.
