angeldelayette Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA-1.jpg Hello everyone and welcome to my brand new NWA 1989 diary.This diary will go much like the WWF 1989 Kayfabe Returns Diary by TheBlake in that there will be very little to no breaking kayfabe here. Thank you to TheBlake for your wonderful diary located here: WWF 1989: Kayfabe ReturnsEvery show will be posted over the weekend. So either Saturday or Sunday you can expect a brand new show.That being said, the first show will not be until September 10 or 11, giving plenty of time to get those predictions in. There will be a 'B' Show in NWA Worldwide but it won't be given any predictions and just a bare bones writeup.Three diaries? Can you handle that? I think so, especially with my recap style of writeup. Those two other diaries are here: WWE 2011: Bragging Rights! and here: The Flying Menace (USPW/Cornellverse)I hope you all enjoy!

Ritchardo Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Yay! I always enjoyed your NWA 89 diaries - good to see you give the timeframe another crack! World Championship Wrestling Saturday Week 1 September 1989 Prediction Key: 'Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Ricky Steamboat Comment: In my 87 diary (cheap plug!), Orton might stand more of a chance but by 1989 there's only going to be one winner here and that's The Dragon The Dragonmaster vs. Sting Comment: J-Tex's lowliest member does his job but I still expect some Muta interference. Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes Comment: Johnny Ace + Shane Douglas + Skateboards = Lame Non Title: Lex Luger vs. Scott Steiner Comment: Toughest match on the card to call especially with no title on the line but I think Luger is probably ready for a move to the very top of the card before Steiner is NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Ric Flair defends vs. Sid Vicious Comment: Unless you're going for a way out there first show then Flair will take the W here but I think the Funkster might show his hand as well.

Oldschool Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 'Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Ricky Steamboat Comment: Should still be a great match, but Steamboat is the one who still has main event potential The Dragonmaster vs. Sting Comment: squash... Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes Comment: Varsity club, was one of the most underated teams of all time in my book Non Title: Lex Luger vs. Scott Steiner Comment: Luger is seeing main events... Steiner is not.....yet NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Ric Flair defends vs. Sid Vicious Flair makes Viscious look good, but Flair could also make a broomstick look good..

olympia Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Prediction Key: 'Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Ricky Steamboat Comment: Orton will look good in the match, but Steamboat is da bomb The Dragonmaster vs. Sting Comment: Sting wins, interference sets up his first big feud of the legacy Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes Comment: Sullivan NOT managed by Woman. Hmmmm. They wont need much help as Ace will be too busy figuring out how to run the WWE. Non Title: Lex Luger vs. Scott Steiner Comment: Steiner should be focusing on tag matches. Steiners (w/ Missy Hyatt) vs Doom (w/ Woman) - oh my, CAT FIGHT! Can we get them to fight over bacon on a pole? I digress, Luger wins one for the bad guys NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Ric Flair defends vs. Sid Vicious Comment: Flair's stable looks a little bare - who will the 2 other Horsemen be? Match could be more to set up a tag feud with horsemen vs Skyscrapers while a suitable singles contender emerges. Signs: HORSEMEN RULE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beejus Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Here we go again, eh AD? World Championship Wrestling Saturday Week 1 September 1989 Prediction Key: 'Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Ricky Steamboat Comment:Orton is best to be a JTTS, especially in this one. The Dragonmaster vs. Sting Comment: STINGER SQUASH. Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes Comment: I'm sure that eventually you can make something out of Douglas, you're better off pushing forward with Rotunda right now. Non Title: Lex Luger vs. Scott Steiner Comment: Steiner is still very new to the NWA here, and while he's your future, that's still a little too in the future for right here and now. NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Ric Flair defends vs. Sid Vicious Comment: Whether via a DQ or just a win, either way I see some interference here.

TheBlake Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Wow, man! I greatly appreciate the kind words and the plug! Glad to see that people are enjoying it, and even more glad to see more diaries from this era popping up. It's been a blast playing with the WWF, and I kid you not, I was contemplating starting a "just for fun" game with the NWA a few days ago. But I'll read your diary instead haha. Anyways, on with the predictions: 'Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Ricky Steamboat Comment: Should be a very good match, but Steamboat gets the win. The Dragonmaster vs. Sting Comment: Sting, Sting, and more Sting in this one. Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes Comment: The Dynamic Dudes are simply awful. I'd take Gary Michael Capetta and Jim Ross over these two. Non Title: Lex Luger vs. Scott Steiner Comment: Punch, kick, slam. So basically, these two go all out, and Luger wins. NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Ric Flair defends vs. Sid Vicious Comment: Well since no one else said it.....WHOOOOOOOOO! Sign: Luger vs. Steiner = *****!

sanityisforbidden Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Ricky Steamboat Comment: I think Steamboat will go over Orton, it will help his rise to the top. The Dragonmaster vs. Sting Comment: Silly Squash Match Predictions Are Silly Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes - Draw Comment: I personally do not like Kevin Sullivan... But then again Johnny Ace is on the other team so... DRAW! Non Title: Lex Luger vs. Scott Steiner Comment: Scott Steiner... he needs the momentum.

angeldelayette Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thank you to everyone who has predicted so far! A great turn-out so far! Now, let's get to some comments. Yay! I always enjoyed your NWA 89 diaries - good to see you give the timeframe another crack! Great to see you predicting here, Ritchardo! This was a great time frame IMO for the NWA. Such great talent here. Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes Comment: Varsity club, was one of the most underated teams of all time in my book I agree that Varsity Club is vastly underrated. But with guys like Mike Rotundo and Kevin Sullivan, it seems like it should be a pretty good team, right? Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes Comment: Sullivan NOT managed by Woman. Hmmmm. They wont need much help as Ace will be too busy figuring out how to run the WWE. NWA World Heavyweight Title Match: Ric Flair defends vs. Sid Vicious Comment: Flair's stable looks a little bare - who will the 2 other Horsemen be? Match could be more to set up a tag feud with horsemen vs Skyscrapers while a suitable singles contender emerges. Yeah, I decided that Sullivan being managed by Woman just wouldn't fit the whole Varsity Club attitude and era so I definitely made that change in the data. As far as the other two Horsemen go, who knows who might show up to make the Horsemen 4 again. Here we go again, eh AD? Yep. Here we go again, my friend. Great to see you predicting in here. Always great to see those who have followed within the past coming back. Wow, man! I greatly appreciate the kind words and the plug! Glad to see that people are enjoying it, and even more glad to see more diaries from this era popping up. It's been a blast playing with the WWF, and I kid you not, I was contemplating starting a "just for fun" game with the NWA a few days ago. But I'll read your diary instead haha.[/i] This is definitely a great era to be a part of in professional wrestling as a whole. Just the sheer amount of tag teams here is amazing as compared to today. Glad I could give you your NWA fix right here. And your diary is definitely deserving of the plug. Go Jake the Snake! Signs: Teddy Long bought his suit at the fair!!! This sign definitely made me crack up! Remember, the first show won't be up until about a week from tomorrow. So plenty of time to get those predictions in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing they discuss is the beautiful and brand new TurnerTron. A big screen set up to take wrestling fans where they've never been before: backstage at a wrestling event! What a card we have in store for you, including our main event where 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair will defend the NWA World Heavyweight title against one half of the Skyscrapers tag team: Sid Vicious! As the camera pans around the arena, we see a bunch of people holding up four fingers, including one fan with one of those foam hands that have four fingers sticking in the air.] [speaking of Ric Flair, his music begins to play and the crowd within the Charles Koch Arena goes absolutely wild with 'Whooooo's!' Ric Flair comes out from the back styling and profiling like only he can in a sequined robe. He pauses and points to a fan with a sign reading: 'I came to see The Horseman!!!' Flair gets in the ring and focuses the attention of his interview not on his matchup later tonight but on his scheduled match for NWA's Fall Brawl. That is his match with Terry Funk for the NWA World Heavyweight title. He tells Funk that while the man from Amarillo is a living legend, he is not the Nature Boy. He doesn't style and profile. While Ric Flair is living the charmed life, he is living day to day and that's not the style of Ric Flair or the Horsemen. The Horsemen are living large each and every day of the week. Flair pauses, interrupted by the presence of a figure walking down to the ring.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/terryfunk2.jpg [it's Terry Funk! Funk walks right down to the ring and steps inside, getting face to face with Ric Flair. He tells Flair that he is a no-good yellow bellied piece of garbage. He says he would get nose to nose with Ric Flair but he'd have to leave the building. The words between the two eventually leads to a fight! Flair uses chops and Funk uses fists until road agents and security members can come in the ring to break things up.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg Match #1 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/boborton.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/rickysteamboat2.jpg 'Cowboy' Bob Orton vs. Ricky Steamboat [Our opening contest here on World Championship Wrestling could be a main event anywhere in the world. Two world-class athletes step inside the ring to do battle in what is an open match between the two. Both men get in some shots and Orton nearly seals the deal when going for a spinning toehold but Steamboat gets out of that. Nearing the 12 minute mark, Steamboat heads to the top rope and comes off with a Flying Body Press, turning it into a pinfall: 1 -- 2 -- 3!] Winner: Ricky Steamboat (Via Pinfall @ 11:49) Match Rating: B [The bell sounds and the crowd gets on their feet for this big victory for the Dragon Ricky Steamboat! The Dragon celebrates by going to the top turnbuckle and flashing the Hawaiian love sign to all of his fans out there celebrating with him. He points one of the signs to a fan who is holding up a sign reading: 'UNLEASH THE DRAGON!' The celebration is cut short, though, when the Dragon is shoved off the second turnbuckle and down onto the protective mats on the floor below!] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/luger.jpg [The Total Package Lex Luger has arrived! The NWA United States Heavyweight Champion exits the ring and puts the boots to Steamboat. Luger drops to his knees, mounting Steamboat and punching away at the head and skull. He gets up and makes the signal for the Human Torture Rack! The crowd boos, looking for help and it comes in the form of security breaking the fight up before Steamboat can get racked.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/paulellering.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/animal3.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/hawk3.jpg [The opening chords of 'Iron Man' by Black Sabbath brings the fans to their feet as Paul Ellering leads out the Road Warriors! All three men step inside the ring where Ellering grabs a microphone. He begins the interview by focusing on Paul E. Dangerously. He begins by saying that Dangerously's wishbone is where his backbone ought to be. And he is going to be wishing that he hadn't put his Samoan Swat Team in the ring with the Road Warriors. These two men? They're not like your average geeks down the block. They are the Road Warriors, the future NWA World Tag Team Champions.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg Match #2 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/kendonagasaki.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/garyhart.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/sting4.jpg The Dragonmaster vs. Sting [Our second match of the evening was a little bit of a surprise to most fans in how good it is. The match is fast-paced, though The Dragonmaster relies a little more on brawling, while Sting is fundamentally sound in all areas of the wrestling business. Sting gets The Dragonmaster in the corner and climbs, beginning to throw punches, getting to ten as the camera directs to a sign reading: 'Jobber-Tex Corporation suck!' Around the eight minute mark, Sting sends The Dragonmaster into the corner and catches him with a Stinger Splash! Dragonmaster falls over and Sting makes a cover: 1 -- 2 -- 3!] Winner: Sting (Via Pinfall @ 8:27) Match Rating: B [A big win for the ever-popular Sting! As he rises up, Gary Hart signals toward the back and another figure comes running toward the ring, sliding inside.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/greatmuta.jpg [it's The Great Muta! Muta slides in and catches Sting with a series of kicks before Sting can defend himself. Gary Hart comes in, motioning to Muta, who looks to Sting -- Asian Mist! The Mist goes right into the eyes of Sting, blinding him! Sting waves his arms around for a moment before he gets taken down by another kick by Muta. The crowd boos but Gary Hart raises Muta's arm in the air.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/ricflairc.jpg [Through the use of the brand new Turner-Tron for those in the building and the use of video for those watching at home we are taken to a backstage interview with the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair! Flair's focus at the moment is on his match tonight with Sid Vicious. He talks about Vicious's dominance in the tag team ranks alongside Dan Spivey but this isn't tag team wrestling. This is one on one with the Nature Boy. This is where Ric Flair rules the roost and tonight Sid Vicious is going to find out why Ric always says to be the man, you have to beat the man. Whooooooo!] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/sidvicious3.jpg [A video plays following that interview that touts the menace and strength of Sid Vicious. Vicious is shown in the wrestling ring, using moves such as Choke Slams and side slams. He is shown beating people both inside the ring and outside the ring. The video ends with a compilation of Power Bombs from Vicious. Can Ric Flair overcome this man tonight?] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg Match #3 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/kevinsullivan.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/mikerotundo.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/johnnyace.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/ShaneDouglas3.jpg Varsity Club vs. Dynamic Dudes [Our third match of the evening is a match that is only slightly a cut above average. That is mostly due to the hard work of Kevin Sullivan and Mike Rotundo, who dominate this encounter. A fan in the front row is shown holding up a rather large sign that reads: 'the guy behind me can't see!' It might be better after viewing this match. Around the eight minute mark, Rotundo catches Shane Douglas with an Airplane Spin, while Sullivan knocks Johnny Ace off the apron. Rotundo makes the cover: 1 -- 2 -- 3! An impressive win for the Varsity Club!] Winners: Varsity Club (Via Pinfall @ 8:21) Match Rating: C+ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/MichaelHayes7.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/jimmygarvin.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/RickSteiner3.jpg [Through the use of the Turner-Tron or video for those of you at home, we head backstage where Rick Steiner is walking by the catering table. He pauses there where he gets attacked from behind by Michael 'P.S.' Hayes and Jimmy 'Jam' Garvin! The crowd inside the arena boos at the assault as Hayes throws Steiner on top of the catering table and then throws punches. Garvin shoves his NWA World Tag Team title belt into the face of Steiner, telling him he'll never come close to the belt! As officials arrive on the scene, we head back to the ring.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg Match #4 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/luger.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/ScottSteiner22.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/missyhyatt.jpg Non Title Lex Luger vs. Scott Steiner [Of course Scott Steiner is oblivious to what happened to his brother backstage as he was preparing to come out here to face 'The Total Package.' As Luger comes out, a fan sign is shown reading: 'I wanna rub baby oil all over Lex Lugers back!! No Homo.' This is actually a rather solid match between the two that shows off some technical skill by Steiner and also the brawling skill of the NWA United States Heavyweight Champion. A fan in the arena stands, holding up a sign reading: 'Luger vs. Steiner = *****!' Steiner catches Luger with a Steinerline and an overhead belly to belly suplex late in the match, drawing a two count. Luger manages to rake the eyes of Steiner and catches him with a Running Forearm shot, sending Steiner to the mat. Luger makes a quick cover and places his feet on the ropes for leverage: 1 -- 2 -- 3!] Winner: Lex Luger (Via Pinfall @ 10:16) Match Rating: B http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/NWA.jpg Match #5 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/ricflairc.jpg vs. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/sidvicious3.jpg w/ http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/theadorerlong.jpg NWA World Heavyweight Title Match Ric Flair defends vs. Sid Vicious [Our main event this evening is not as good as many people would have thought as these two wrestlers simply do not click at all inside the ring. During the entrance, Teddy Long yells at a fan who is holding up a sign reading: 'Teddy Long bought his suit at the fair!!!' Back in the ring, Sid Vicious uses his power to throw Flair around like a rag doll in the early moments and throughout most of the match. Flair refuses to give in to the larger opponent, though. Vicious scores several near falls as Teddy Long looks on, arguing with the referee a few times, saying that certain pinfalls should have been three counts. There is definite interference by Long that nearly leads to a brand new NWA World Heavyweight Champion. One critical mistake occurs, though, when Vicious goes for a knee drop and Flair rolls out of the way. From that point on, Flair focuses on the knee of Vicious, including banging it against the ring post. Flair draws in some definite momentum but can never quite get Vicious into the Figure 4. At one point, Teddy Long jumps on the apron and Flair goes over, ready to punch him. But this simply served as a distraction. Vicious charges and Flair moves, the momentum carrying Vicious into Long! Long gets knocked off the apron and Flair rolls Vicious up: 1 -- 2 -- 3!] Winner: Ric Flair (Via Pinfall @ 12:17; Ric Flair retains the NWA World Heavyweight title) Match Rating: C+ [What a win for the Nature Boy! The NWA World Heavyweight title belt is brought in the ring and given to Ric Flair as Sid Vicious leaves the ring, talking to Teddy Long about what just happened. A sign is focused in on at that point reading: 'HORSEMEN RULE!' Flair raises the belt in the air until he is assaulted from behind.] http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/terryfunk2.jpghttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/shawkes/NWA-2/garyhart.jpg [To no one's surprise, Terry Funk and Gary Hart have entered the ring! Funk has a branding iron and he is beating Flair among the head and shoulders with it! The crowd boos this move and begin chanting 'Flair, Flair, Flair!' all in an effort to get Ric Flair back up. But Flair remains laying on the mat and Gary Hart stomps on him a moment before calling the insane Terry Funk off the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. The show ends with Terry Funk standing in the center of the ring with the branding iron and Ric Flair laying at his feet.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olympia Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Loser Leaves Town: The Great Muta vs. StingComment: Muta heading to Japan? glad to see hometown hero Sting coming out on top of this feud this time around Buzz Sawyer vs. Ole Anderson Comment: villians get a tainted win over the Horseman boss Bill Irwin and Rip Morgan vs. Midnight ExpressComment: Midnights rock Mike Rotundo vs. Steve WilliamsComment: could be a scientific rules type match with their amateur backgrounds, but expect this one to break down into a brawl which favors Doc Michael 'P.S.' Hayes vs. Scott SteinerComment: Scott had a B rated match with Luger for crying out loud, so he can be expected to become a solid singles wrestler. Terry Funk vs. Junkyard Dog Comment: Terry Funk that dirty dog!! attacking Flair while he was admiring my sign!! Every dog has his day - it just won't be JYD's day yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beejus Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Loser Leaves Town: The Great Muta vs. Sting Comment: Guessing this means Muta is going to Japan, which I guess isn't terrible as it frees up a pretty solid spot for one of your other lower card men, but it sucks in that you'll be missing out on his talents. Buzz Sawyer vs. Ole Anderson Comment: Just a bit of fuel for the Flair/Funk feud. Bill Irwin and Rip Morgan vs. Midnight Express Comment: Yay Midnights! Mike Rotundo vs. Steve Williams Comment: In the death of Muta, perhaps we'll see Orange County get the nod that the Rising Sun would have? Michael 'P.S.' Hayes vs. Scott Steiner Comment: Just a way to give the Steiners a shot at the tag belts. Terry Funk vs. Junkyard Dog Comment: JYD is best served as JTTS. Signs: Sayonara, Muta!
