End of Jan 1983 Review.

 

Top Ten Companies

1. New Japan/ Regional Booker:Hisashi Shinma

2. All Japan/ Regional Booker: Giant Baba

3. MACW/Cult - The company rose three spots Booker: John Cornell

4.WCCW/Regional Booker: Gary Hart

7.CWF/Regional Booker: Dusty Rhodes

8.WWF/Regional Booker: George Scott

Georgia and Mid-Atlantic jumped to Cult at the same time. So it's going to be interesting to see how things work out. For all the WWF marks don't worry. If the other runs prove right the WWF will start jumping up the ranks quick in couple of months.

 

 

Are you guys able to see all the pictures?

Right off the news wire it seems the Gagnes are posing for a showdown with the NWA. They have recently signed to exclusive contracts Kevin Sullivan and Paul Orndorff. What plans the AWA has for these two men are yet unknown to PWI Radio.

[alvarasus]

PWI RADIO

 

PWI has learned Mid-Atlantic has been taken off the air for the next couple of weeks. Because of failed contract talks with the network. They will be touring the country with PPV deal with closed circuit U.S. which will allow them to show the world SuperBrawl.

 

Plus in news that will shock the world with tensions growing inside the NWA Central States Wrestling has shown hostilities towards Jim Crockett Promotions. Reasons why for these hostilities are unknown to us at this date.

 

 

The AWA has also shown hostilities towards Jim Crockett Promotions. This may have something to do with National Wrestling Alliance promoters agreeing to make Jim Crockett Promotions the main promotion in the NWA. Which Jim Crockett Promotions would like to be known as National Wrestling Alliance the NWA for short.

 

It has came to our knowledge that this move is to bolster the company and the alliance in the undeclared war with the AWA and WWF. The Von Erichs, The Freebirds, Jake Roberts, Dusty Rhodes Junkyard Dog, Butch Reed, and Captain Lou Albano has signed with the company. Curt Henning, Bobby Heenan, and Nick Bockwinkel are also rumored to be in talks with the company.

I loved the card myself. I was shocked about the Rock 'n Roll Express and Hart Foundation match. I didn't know it was going to turn out that good. Tommy Rich is really surprising me with the matches he is giving me. Flair and Piper are hell of feud it's my number one feud going. It became the number 2 match in my history. Ric Flair and Jack Brisco hold the number one spot.

 

Thanks for your comment. I see people are reading but I don't know if people are liking this or not. Still trying to nail down a style for this dynasty . I think I might have found it too. Tonight or tomorrow I will post the NWA Sunday Night's Main Event card

PWI RADIO

 

We have the latest news coming out of the world of professional wrestling. Sgt. Slaughter and Don Kernodle were furious over the announced match for Final Conflict. Slaughter and Kernodle demanded if they were to put the titles than a stipulation had to be added. If Steamboat and Youngblood lose they will never team together again.

 

Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood quickly agreed to the terms of the deal, but said since the name of the Pay Per View was Final Conflict. Why not have it who ever loses inside the cage can't ever be a tag team again.

 

Slaughter and Kernodle were leery at first to agree to that added stipulation but when Jim Crockett Jr. threaten to strip them of the tag team titles if they didn't agree. Slaughter and Kernodle reluctantly agreed to it. So at Final Conflict the NWA World Tag Team titles will be on the line in a steel cage plus who ever loses will never be able to tag together forever.

PWI RADIO

 

I have to give it to the AWA they know how to book talent. Verne Gagne pays 5,000 dollars to get Jimmy Valiant from the NWA only to job him out to Sonny Rogers who is opening act for the company.

The Boogie Woogie Man had scored matches in the 70's or 80's for the NWA. He didn't deserved to be jobbed to no opening act especially when your using him as a midcarder for God sakes.

 

Don Kernodle faired little better getting a win against Kenny Jay.

 

Paul Orndorff - Losing to midcarders and lower midcarders while there using him as a Upper Midcarder.

 

Billy Robinson and Bobby Duncum your last two AWA Heavyweight Champions. Yeah great champions my foot. Don't get me wrong Robinson and Duncum are good wrestlers but I just don't picture them as Top Level Talent to build a company around especially when you start a war with Jim Crockett Promotions or NWA whatever you want call the promotion down in Charlotte it doesn't matter their still whipping you in the ratings.

 

If the NWA didn't have a roster that to be honest is jam packed with talent from top to bottom. I would tell them go sign Paul Orndorff and Kevin Sullivan. Here the thing is Don Kernodle and Jimmy Valiant was allowed to walk not because the booking team didn't want to keep them . No it was purely because the NWA roster is so big they couldn't use them on a consistence basis.

Bob Caudle: Welcome fans to the first annual Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup. This promises to be a night that we won't forget. We have a stacked card on hand for tonight.

 

John Cornell: Yes, we do Bob tonight is the first night of the Crockett Cup. We will only be seeing the first round of the tournament tonight. As tomorrow will be the second day of the event. Yes fans this tournament is so big we had to split in two days.

 

 

Bob Caudle: Plus we have several non tournament matches on hand many that would headline arenas across this country. So fans let's get started with our first match The Malenkos vs Kerry and Kevin Von Erich.

 

Joe and Dean Malenko vs Kerry and Kevin Von Erich

In a match that had some good action but non-existent crowd heat, Kevin & Kerry Von Erich defeated Malenko Brothers in 15:51 when Kerry Von Erich defeated Dean Malenko by submission with an Iron Claw. Rating 75

The Rock "n" Roll Express vs The Nightmares

In a match that had some good action but non-existent crowd heat, Rock and Roll Express defeated The Nightmares in 12:12 when Ricky Morton defeated Danny Davis by pinfall with a Missile Dropkick. Rating 74

 

Bob Caudle:The Rock "n" Roll Express take the win. Morton and Gibson are looking good. I see great things in the future for these two young men.

 

John Cornell: I agree with you Bob these two men are a great foundation to build the tag team division around. Well I think the Nightmares might need a manager to help get their careers on track. How about Jimmy Hart?

 

Bob Caudle: I doubt Jimmy Hart would leave the Hart Foundation for the Nightmares. Let's get to the third match of the night Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard with Bobby Heenan versus a young upcoming tag team Koko Ware and Bobby Fulton.

 

John Cornell: Interesting facts about this team of Blanchard and Anderson. Originally this was suppose to be Arn Anderson and Curt Henning in this match, but Curt Henning had pressing matters in Oregon to deal with at the last minute. An this is not the first time Blanchard and Anderson has teamed together. Over in Mid-South these two men have partnered up for a few matches.

 

Bob Caudle: Bobby Heenan is hoping this tag team can win against Ware and Fulton.

 

John Cornell: You know he does. He wants the cup for his center piece on his mantle and the quarter of million dollars that goes to the winners of the tournament.

 

Bobby Fulton and Koko Ware vs Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard w/ Bobby Heenan

In a match that had some good action but non-existent crowd heat, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard defeated Fulton & Birdman in 11:48 when Tully Blanchard defeated Bobby Fulton by pinfall with a Slingshot Suplex. Rating 80

 

Bob Caudle A very impressive match by both teams. Ware and Fulton are showing with some more seasoning they could be very well be force to reckon with in the tag team division.

 

John Cornell: I must agree with you on this Bob. I have been impressed with this young team since the first time they have teamed together. They always give the fans good matches. Blanchard and Anderson advances to the second round.

 

Bob Caudle: Well the Hart Foundation with Jimmy Hart is coming up next against The Fabulous Ones. Well you can tell the hatred these two teams have for each other.

 

John Cornell: I agree fully with that Bob. Stan Lane and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart almost had a near a brawl earlier today that officials had to get involved to keep these two men from killing each other.

 

 

The Fabulous Ones vs The Hart Foundation w/ Jimmy Hart

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, The Fabulous Ones defeated The Hart Foundation in 12:22 when Steve Keirn defeated Jim Neidhart by pinfall. Rating 86

 

Bob Caudle: The Fabulous Ones pull this off great match by both these teams.

 

Jimmy Hart: I want a rematch right now. The Fabs cheated The Hart Foundation out of that match.

 

John Cornell: I didn't see no cheating Jimmy. At least not on the Fabs part that is.

 

Jimmy Hart: You two need glasses if you didn't see the Hart Foundation being robbed. An that ref was in on it too I want him to be suspended for bias officiating.

 

John Cornell: Now come on Jimmy, you know that Randy Anderson wasn't being bias The Hart Foundation just wasn't good enough today.

 

Jimmy Hart: Why I am talking to the two of you? Both of you and this whole Alliance are bias against The Hart Foundation the number one team in professional wrestling today baby. (Jimmy Hart walks off from the announce table)

 

Bob Caudle: Let's get to our next match in the tournament. The Russians versus Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo.

In a bout that featured great action but non-existent crowd heat, The U.S. Express defeated The Russians in 12:25 when Barry Windham defeated Ivan Koloff by pinfall with a Flying Lariat. Rating 83

 

John Cornell: Talk about your shocking wins this one sure surprised me. Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo was able to pull out the victory against the Russians.

 

Bob Caudle: I like Windham and Rotundo both but, I really thought they were going to be over matched by Nikolai Volkoff and Ivan Koloff. Gary Hart doesn't seem to pleased either. Fans I hope your enjoying tonight's action don't forget tomorrow Day 2 of the Crockett Cup will be on pay per view.

 

John Cornell:Let's get ready for our next match in the tournament NWA World Tag Team Champions Jay Youngblood and Ricky Steamboat against the Fabulous Freebirds Terry Gordy and Michael Hayes.

 

 

Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat vs The Fabulous Freebirds

In a bout that featured great action and a good crowd, Steamboat & Youngblood defeated The Fabulous Freebirds in 11:32 when Ricky Steamboat defeated Michael Hayes by pinfall with a Flying Karate Chop. Terry Gordy was attacked by Kerry Von Erich with a steel chair. Rating 81

 

Bob Caudle: Steamboat and Youngblood win this one in a great match.

 

Michael Hayes:Did you see that Bob Caudle? Did you? Kerry Von Erich your going to pay for making us lose that match.

 

Terry Gordy: Nobody!! I mean nobody. Takes shots at the Freebirds. You cost us the match and the Cup. Von Erichs Texas, the Carolinas, and wherever else we find a Von Erich your blood is going to flow like a river... a river of blood.. a river of Von Erich blood.
