BHK1978 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR Thursday Week 2 October 1989 Bill Irwin vs. Eddie Gilbert Wild Bill jobber should lose to Hotstuff. Kevin Sullivan vs. Junkyard Dog I am not all that sure on this match but I will go with JYD. The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Midnight Express WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 2 October 1989 The Fabulous Freebirds vs. Flyin Brian and Z-Man I see the Freebirds winning this as Pillman is low ranked in WCW at this time. The Wild Samoans vs. Midnight Express The Midnights were one of my favorites of all time so they should beat the SST. Cactus Jack vs. Eddie Gilbert Terry Funk vs. Robert Gibson Buzz Sawyer vs. Junkyard Dog NWA World Television Title Match: Mike Rotundo challenges Sting© I am thinking that Mike might win as he would make a better IC Champion. However, Sting is to high up on the card to lose to Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg McNeish Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR* Thursday Week 2 October 1989 Heels Always Listed First Bill Irwin vs. Eddie Gilbert Irwin is a jobber, even against jobbers. Kevin Sullivan vs. Junkyard Dog Has Sullivan ever been anything more than a glorified job guy? The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Midnight Express The Freebirds continue to build momentum towards their Tag Title rematch. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 2 October 1989 Heels Always Listed First The Fabulous Freebirds vs. Flyin Brian and Z-Man I'm liking Z-Man falling into the roll of looking great, but just not being able to get over the hump, and actually put an opponent away. It's a great way to build a sympathetic babyface. The Wild Samoans vs. Midnight Express The Samoans savagely obliterate the Express, getting back on track, following Fall Brawl. Cactus Jack vs. Eddie Gilbert ... and all that momentum that Gilbert gets from his earlier win is transfered immediately to Cactus Jack. Thanks for playing, Eddie. Terry Funk vs. Robert Gibson Gibson has no Funkin' chance. Buzz Sawyer vs. Junkyard Dog Sawyer seems to be J-Tex' resident fall guy. Bam Bam has had the upper hand so far; this is JYD's time to even things up a bit. NWA World Television Title Match: Mike Rotundo challenges Sting© Sure, I mark for IRS, but I really see Sting holding onto that belt until he wins something bigger, and vacates it.

Beejus Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR Bill Irwin vs. Eddie Gilbert Kevin Sullivan vs. Junkyard Dog The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Midnight Express The Birds can pick up momentum on WCW, pleeeeeeeease let the MX win this one!! WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING The Fabulous Freebirds vs. Flyin Brian and Z-Man The Wild Samoans vs. Midnight Express MX getting a push can only lead to good things. Cactus Jack vs. Eddie Gilbert I'm glad to see Cactus getting a slight push here. Terry Funk vs. Robert Gibson Where's Ricky? Buzz Sawyer vs. Junkyard Dog NWA World Television Title Match: Mike Rotundo challenges Sting© I think Rotundo will be the one to take this title, but just not quite yet. It's helping to fuel the fire with Muta's feud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchardo Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR Bill Irwin vs. Eddie Gilbert Hotstuff has to get winning again - this should do the trick. Kevin Sullivan vs. Junkyard Dog JYD needs the win more at the moment, Sullivan's a problem backstage too. The Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Midnight Express Since the Freebirds are still number one contenders, they'll need to keep the momentum up. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING The Fabulous Freebirds vs. Flyin Brian and Z-Man See Above! The Wild Samoans vs. Midnight Express The Express have been quiet of late and I notice that Doom aren't up to much either... Cactus Jack vs. Eddie Gilbert This could be a nice little midcard feud actually but I'll take Cactus thanks to his Steve Williams altercation last week. Terry Funk vs. Robert Gibson Robert's so much more than a jobber too... shame! Buzz Sawyer vs. Junkyard Dog Bam Bam interference for this one. JYD by DQ. NWA World Television Title Match: Mike Rotundo challenges Sting © I called it during last week's predictions so I can't very well bet against him can I! Muta to cost Sting the title.

Since it's return, I have sent Bill Alfonso, Bob Caudle, Brad Armstrong, Chris Candido, Gordon Solie, John Tatum, Magnum T.A., Mark Callous, Ole Anderson, Rip Morgan, Scott Hall and Tommy Rich down to get trained or to train others depending on the situation. But right now, negotiations are on-going with several people to make an owner and head booker down there so they have not been able to run a show just yet...] [...CMLL down in Mexico signed several wrestlers to written contracts that I might have looked to at least go into developmental, including Dennis Condrey, King Kong Bundy, Mike Awesome and Buddy Landell....] [...NJPW has also done the same thing in signing Doug Gilbert, Tommy Dreamer, Yokozuna and The Great Sasuke...] [...WWF have been fairly quiet, having not signed anyone yet since the beginning of September. WWF Superstars at the beginning of October had a very interesting main event where Hulk Hogan defended the WWF World Heavyweight Title successfully in a four way match including Jimmy Snuka, Rick Rude and Tito Santana....] [...Our House Show business is doing very well, which is a positive for us. We are making nearly $4,000 a show here in the States...] [...I am also having a good look at our pay-per-appearance contracts. This means that wrestlers like Bam Bam Bigelow, Bill Irwin, Buzz Sawyer, Dan Spivey, Fatu, Eddie Gilbert, Jason Knight, Johnny Ace, Missy Hyatt, Nitron, Norman The Lunatic, Samu, Steve Williams, The Dragonmaster, The Great Muta, The Iron Sheik and Z-Man might all be looking to get a pay raise or get cut from the roster...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson stepped in and went right after Funk! Gibson threw forearm shots and sent Funk into the ropes -- dropkick! The move connected and Funk got out of the ring quickly! The crowd began a chant of 'Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll, Rock and Roll!'...] [...Terry Funk got back in the ring and he managed to slow things down with Robert Gibson.

Funk looked a little frustrated as he got to his feet. He sent Gibson to the ropes -- clothesline -- ducked! Gibson came back with a flying shoulder tackle!

Steiners, the two of you punks better realize that you're just keeping those belts warm for the Fabulous Freebirds. Your win at Fall Brawl was just a fluke. Isn't that right, Jimmy Jam?" Jimmy Garvin "That's right, P.S. At Halloween Havoc, we are going to do the same thing to them that we just did to Flyin Brian and Z-Man. We're gonna hit them with our Spiked Piledriver or a DDT and we'll be three seconds away from regaining what should have never been lost. Rick, Scott get ready to be taken to Badstreet."

He lifted Buzz on his shoulder -- Big Thump Power Slam!

Mike Rotundo came down to the ring first and then he was joined down in the ring by the NWA World Television Champion Sting! The two met eye-to-eye inside the ring and Rotundo dropped into an amateur wrestling stance. Sting looked at him for a moment and released an 'OOOWWWWW' to the crowd and got one repeated back to him. Rotundo moved in and did a go-behind waistlock on Sting! Rotundo tripped Sting to the mat and then spun around Sting a few times, smacking him in the head before getting to his feet and raising his arms to boos from the crowd. Sting regained a vertical base and moved toward the center of the ring with Rotundo -- kick to the gut by Sting! Sting throws punches, knocking Rotundo down. Sting makes a quick cover: 1 -- Kickout! Rotundo quickly exited the ring and stepped back and away, beginning to pace some. Sting bounces off the ropes -- leaps -- cross body over the top rope to the floor takes Rotundo down! Sting gets up and releases an 'OWWWW!' to the crowd...] [...Once back inside the ring, Rotundo used an amateur-like rake to the eyes to take the advantage and went on a tear for several minutes on the man called Sting. He ended up throwing some punches to Sting and then sending him into a corner. He threw some shoulders to the gut and then went behind Sting -- German Suplex with a bridge: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout! The crowd roared for the kickout by Sting! Rotundo paid them no attention though and remained on the attack, sending Sting outside the ring. Rotundo joined Sting outside the ring and rammed him against the ring post to boos from the crowd! Rotundo picked up Sting and tossed him back inside the ring, joining him inside and making a cover: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout! Rotundo hooked a crossface on Sting, trying to make the Champ submit but Sting wouldn't have any of that! Sting told referee Tommy Young 'NO!' when asked if he would give up! Sting used some cheers and claps from the crowd to power his way up to his feet. He threw an elbow to the gut! A second one! A third one broke the hold! Sting bounced off the ropes -- double clothesline and both men are down...] [...At the count of 8, both men raised to their feet! Rotundo charged in and Sting caught him -- inverted atomic drop! Sting threw a couple of forearm shots -- Standing Dropkick! The crowd went wild as Rotundo hit the mat. Sting bounced off the ropes -- high elbow drop! Sting made a cover: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout! Sting got to his feet and pulled Rotundo up -- inside cradle by Rotundo, he hooks the tights: 1 -- 2 -- Kickout! Sting still kicked out! Both men got to their feet! Rotundo ducked a clothesline attempt and hooked Sting from behind in a waistlock! Sting blocked a German Suplex attempt and reversed the waistlock, shoving Rotundo into a corner! Sting chased him in -- Stinger Splash! Rotundo fell to the mat and Sting grabbed the legs -- Scorpion Deathlock! Sting hooked his finisher on Rotundo! Rotundo tried to resist giving in! He reached for the ropes but Sting pulled him to the center of the ring. Rotundo fought for as long as he could but he had to give up!] Winner: Sting (Via Submission @ 9:45; Sting retains the NWA World Television Title) Match Rating: B+ [...Sting released the hold and got his arm raised by Tommy Young! Tommy Young gave him the belt and Sting looked toward the ramp where The Great Muta stood. Muta glared at Sting and Sting looked back to Muta, releasing an 'OOOWWWW!' The two stared each other down as the show came to a close!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I would have paid top dollar in real life to see Sting, Flair and Steamboat together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeldelayette Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 - Liked the Flair promo and I've always thought Teddy Long was/is underrated on the mic. Glad you liked the Flair promo. He is one of my favorite wrestlers to write for, especially when doing the old-school Ric Flair. The true Stylin and Profilin Ric Flair. As far as Teddy Long goes, I just have to make sure I stay out of the mentality of what he has been in WWE and get back to the 1989 NWA Teddy Long. lol. As much as I like Muta and The Funkster (never was a fan of Lex), the just so happen to be taking on the greatest Six Man Tag Team ever! Seriously, I would have paid top dollar in real life to see Sting, Flair and Steamboat together! It is quite a six man tag team, isn't it? Three of the best workers of the time period and add that on to guys like Muta and Funk and even Lex Luger has worked some semi-decent matches and I hope the main event performs up to what I believe it should.

Ritchardo Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Nice write-up on the Rotundo/Sting match - I really thought my boy IRS was going over there! POWER HOUR Thursday Week 3 October 1989 Butch Reed vs. Rick Steiner Buzz Sawyer vs. Ricky Steamboat Terry Funk vs. Ricky Morton WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING Saturday Week 3 October 1989 The Skyscrapers vs. The Dynamic Dudes A crushing victory for The Skyscrapers to show them as a real threat to the Road Warriors Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Jason Knight Jason Knight's run continues! Kevin Sullivan and Nitron vs. The Rock 'N' Roll Express If Ricky & Robert can't get a win over Nitron, it really is game over for them! Cactus Jack vs. Junkyard Dog I'm plumping for a shock Cactus win - some Bam Bam interference to set-up a JYD/Williams v Cactus/Bam Bam tag match Terry Funk, The Great Muta and Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair, Sting and Ricky Steamboat The face team looks unbeatable and even though the heels could do with the win more, I fancy the faces to sneak it. Should be a cracker though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeldelayette Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Nice write-up on the Rotundo/Sting match - I really thought my boy IRS was going over there! Glad you enjoyed the match writeup! I was really looking to make it seem like an even matchup. I just hope that I elevated Rotundo's stock in the eyes of some people with that match.

Greg McNeish Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Perfect game, last time out. WOOOOOOOO!!! Butch Reed vs. Rick Steiner I'm assuming that Rick started the game with much lower momentum than Scott. This should help even them out a bit more. Buzz Sawyer vs. Ricky Steamboat Buzz continues on as J-Tex' resident job guy. Terry Funk vs. Ricky Morton Meanwhile, the Funkster finishes off the other Rock & Roller. The Skyscrapers vs. The Dynamic Dudes Everyone needs some elevation, if they're going to take on the Road Warriors. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Jason Knight Bam Bam is awesome. It's as simple as that. Kevin Sullivan and Nitron vs. The Rock 'N' Roll Express R&R took a momentum hit, to build some Popularity, while laying down for Terry Funk. They'll roll through these guys fairly easily, to truly follow up on that spotlight. Cactus Jack vs. Junkyard Dog Not only am I (as well as everyone else) a huge Mick Foley fan, I'm also not big on JYD. This could see a DQ finish, due to Dr. Death paying a visit. Terry Funk, The Great Muta and Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair, Sting and Ricky Steamboat If ever there is a time for a time limit draw, this is it. There are too many guys in too high of places, for this to be settled in a regular match. Add my name to the petition for War Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beejus Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 NWA POWER HOUR Butch Reed vs. Rick Steiner It ain't Doom here, so the Steiners reign. Buzz Sawyer vs. Ricky Steamboat Terry Funk vs. Ricky Morton He may as well go 2-for-2. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING The Skyscrapers vs. The Dynamic Dudes Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Jason Knight Kevin Sullivan and Nitron vs. The Rock 'N' Roll Express To make up for them being such good jobbers to Terry. Cactus Jack vs. Junkyard Dog I see this either going this way in order to seriously elevate Jack, or else a double DQ with Bam Bam and Williams coming in. Terry Funk, The Great Muta and Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair, Sting and Ricky Steamboat That team is just too amazing to drop this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
