Butch Reed rushes to JYD aid only to have Buddy Roberts blindside him with a steel chair to the back of the head. Terry Gordy and David Von Erich are battling outside of the ring. When Terry slams David's head into a ring post. Then Gordy picks him up and piledrives him on the concrete floor. David Von Erich is laying motionless on the ground. When Gordy decides to pick him and do it once more. As David's lifeless body lays on the ground Gordy is raising his hands in victory. Buddy Roberts grabs something from under the ring it looks like a spike. He hands it to Michael Hayes and in turn Michael Hayes drives the spike into Junkyard Dog's eye. The Dog is bleeding from his eye and screaming in pain as Michael Hayes is slamming that spike in that eye over and over.

Finally Kerry and Kevin Von Erich come running out from the dressing room with chairs in hand to clear the ring. Rating 58

 

Bob Caudle: My God!!! the Fabulous Freebirds may have killed David Von Erich and blinded Junkyard Dog. These fans are silent as they watch the medics taking care of Butch Reed, Junkyard Dog and the motionless David Von Erich.

 

Kerry Von Erich: FABULOUS FREEBIRDS!!! THERE WILL BE NO WHERE TO HIDE!!(pause) Not after this...Not after trying to kill my brother... Not after viciously I will say going after Junkyard Dog's eyes.

Ending your career will be Harley Race's pleasure. I am the ultimate wrestler in wrestling today. I am going to continue to be until I say I am ready not to be. In order to prove that I got to get by one individual. I don't mean to come out hollering and shouting but when I get thinking about Dusty Rhodes. That's the way it comes out Dusty Rhodes your mine. Rating 93

John Cornell: It is brilliant night for this company I must say. The finals are now set for the first annual Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup. Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood versus Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson.

 

Bob Caudle: Well you know Bobby Heenan has to be excited his team may walk away with the Crockett Cup plus Nick Bockwinkel is about to face Ric Flair for the NWA World Championship. What do you think Heenan's reaction would be if Nick Bockwinkel won the World Title tonight and his team of Anderson and Blanchard wins the Crockett Cup ?

In a match that had excellent in-ring action and great heat from the audience, Ric Flair defeated Nick Bockwinkel in 29:33 by submission. Ric Flair makes defence number 13 of his NWA World Heavyweight title. Rating 99

John Cornell: I think no one can right at this time. He is right now this company number one man and he has some of the best matches of the year. I can already count including this one three match of the year caliber matches. Ric Flair is by far the best in the business today.

NWA JIM CROCKETT SR. MEMORIAL CUP DAY 2 RATING 95 PPV 0.44

[alvarasus]

I am shocked by the ratings for the matches as you guys might be. The Rock "n" Roll Express have been giving me some great matches. I never thought they could pull 96 and 98 especially this early in their careers. That also goes for the Midnight Express and Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson plus the Fabulous Ones. Tully Blanchard is a Main Eventer in the game I am using for this dynasty. Hence why Jay Youngblood and Ricky Steamboat didn't get pissed when they won. Thank you to all the people that are reading this I appreciate it very much.

You've been flying thru some action the last couple days. Sorry I didn't get to sign on earlier to cast my ballot but difficult task on the road.

 

First) It is hard to imagine a Freebird-Von Erich match with no heat from the crowd!! Those teams have not won over the fanbase in the Carolinas the way they did in Texas

2) your commment about the match ratings for the young teams. Most mods have them rated based on where they will be (future based ratings for young guys starting out) That may help explain it somewhat.

3) Interesting how you are bringing "future" WWF angles to the Mid-Atlantic a few years early. I always thought Slaughter would go over big in the Carolinas as a face (Cherry Point Marine base there, Camp Lejeune, Paris Island, etc -- I guess they were playing off his drill sgt role being "heelish" but I could see those Marine recruits rally behind one of their own just the way you are doing. Having Heenan come in to manage the Brain Busters even before they were Horsemen. I think you won the talent war with AWA if you have Bockwinkle and Heenan and they took Valiant and Kernodle. lol

1.Yes having the Von Erichs and Freebirds not hot in the Carolinas is kind of upsetting.

2. Well I am using the mod I made for this game. It's called War to Settle the Score.

3. I always wanted to bring in Nikolai Volkoff in to JCP to team with Ivan Koloff. Never liked Don Kernodle angle that JCP did in 1984 where he turned on his country. I have plans for the Russians and a certain Russian that debuts very early in 1984. The Iron Sheik and Sgt. Slaughter I always liked and I am taking your advice and teaming him with some other guys who fought The Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff in the WWF. So he can help make them Main Eventers.

4. Tully and Arn it was originally going to be Curt Henning and Arn Anderson. Having Tully Blanchard working as a single star with no attachments to The Heenan Family. Only because the day I booked the show on Curt Henning decided to work for the AWA. So decided to hook up Arn and Tully. Actually Tully isn't officially a member of the Heenan Family. He is also not being managed by Bobby Heenan or anyone else at this point and time.

5. Oh the original winners was going to be Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood but having Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson win does set up few scenarios.

6. Well your right I am kicking the hell out of the AWA. Nick Bockwinkel, Bobby Heenan, and Curt Henning are the three people I went after when the AWA decided to declare war on me. Harley Race I went after because I need him for my future plans. At this point in time I could be like Vince in real life and decimate the AWA, Central States, and WWF. Only I am not that cruel and I want to keep the territories alive. Von Erichs, Freebirds, JYD, Butch Reed, Dusty Rhodes, and Wahoo McDaniel are on P.P.A. contracts. To be honest only select few are on written.

7. Three people are about to show up in this dynasty. two of the guys work as a tag team. The other guy is a singles wrestler the one Dusty Rhodes was talking about bringing in to help fight Nick Bockwinkel and Harley Race. One hint it sure not Magnum T.A.

Is it Woman? She's the only one I can think of, it can't be Elizabeth or Missy Hyatt.

Is it Woman? She's the only one I can think of, it can't be Elizabeth or Missy Hyatt.

NWA MAYHEM RATING 97

[olympia]

looks like you have signed the entire main event roster of every promotion in America right now

[Coop]

Agrees with Olympia. Lots of big names hopefully doesn't bankrupt ya. But if it don't you could easily put on money matches anywhere in the U.S. Keep em coming Alvarasus.

[alvarasus]

<p>Jim Crockett Promotions in real life was very profitable at this time. In this game I have gotten Jim Crockett Promotions hot in Mid-Atlantic and the South East Regions. So I make a lot of money and only handful are on written. Most of the biggest names minus Flair, Piper, Valentine, and Bockwinkel are on P.P.A. contracts. I want the territories to survive. Plus I am using Jim Crockett Promotions as pretty much the flagship of the NWA. Dusty Rhodes wasn't at NWA Mayhem because he still is booking Florida for Eddie Graham and he had a show that night. </p><p> </p><p>

Hulk Hogan starting spreading rumors about Flair. So if he starts acting up I will kick him out the door. It be risk I am willing to take because as you said I have the best in the country. Only person I don't have on contract is Randy Savage who I am letting get a little bigger of name in Memphis before I snatch him up.</p>

[olympia]

job hogan down to all your big stars before you terminate him. see how long it takes for him to rebuild his image

I signed Hogan only to piss Verne Gagne off so more. I don't have any plans of dropping the NWA World Title on him that's for sure. </p><p> </p><p> I already have the NWA World Title up to May 1984 planned out and Hogan is not even close of being in the Title picture. I wish I could say that about the United States Championship, but with Flair as a Face, I need a heel to hold the number two title for now. That's why Greg Valentine took the title back from Dusty Rhodes. I am trying to save the Hart Foundation and The Fabulous Ones their momentum is in the dumps bad. Brad Armstrong is a protégé of Nick Bockwinkel so I may do something with that I am not sure yet. </p><p> </p><p> I have a great roster a lot great young talent plus some of the best veterans in the business.</p>
