The War to End All Wars! (An alternate history of pro wrestling)

JackKnifed72 · November 12, 2017

Really enjoying this - most interesting thing is how long the other NWA members will allow Ayala to hold on to the title for and when Hogan will finally bolt from the AWA.

Thanks for following. Don't want to give up too many spoilers but let's just say that after Hogan's failed title run, it takes some time before he becomes a major player in the world of wrestling...

...as far as the NWA World title goes, we may see a big name or two somewhere down the line carrying the belt, but the days of guys like Harley Race, Dory Funk Jr., Lou Thesz and Dusty Rhodes trading the title are probably behind us!

Back to posting monthly recaps tomorrow

<div style="text-align:center;">September 1983

News and Notes:

"Freebird" Michael Hayes suffers a major concussion in a match against Brian Adias on Mid-South TV and would miss the next 13 months of wrestling...on the evening of Friday August 28th the wrestling world is stunned as 30yo Randy Savage dies in a car accident near his Memphis, TN. apartment...

Randy Savage with real life brother Lanny Poffo, picture taken at a house show in Memphis, Savage's last public appearance

...22yo Steve Lombardi debuts and is signed to River City Wrestling...Lombardi would wrestle his first match in October for RCW...with his role in the company diminished, former WWF champion Bob Backlund announces he will tour with New Japan Pro Wrestling while also still appearing in the WWF...also joining the next NJPW tour are Magnum TA, David Von Erich and Barry Windham...the AWA holds it's first ever Superclash in Minneapolis...despite a stellar main event the heavily hyped show bombs (59), further hurting the AWA's reputation and popularity...Hulk Hogan loses to Wahoo McDaniel cleanly in a rematch for the AWA title and slips into the mid-card...McDaniel holds three major titles at the same time: AWA World Heavyweight, NWA United States Heavyweight (JCP) and the SWCW Heavyweight title...Mid-South wrestling turns out some of it's best shows in a long time, featuring Junkyard Dog feuding with Jimmy Garvin and defeating Butch Reed to retain the Mid-South North American title...the Fabulous Freebirds are forced to vacate the WCCW Six-man title belts due to Michael Hayes' injury...the vacant belts would eventually be won by the unusual team of Hercules Ayala, Dory Funk Jr. and Scott Irwin

<img alt="6DTTjD1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6DTTjD1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

With Hayes unable to wrestle, he would take the role of manager for Buddy Roberts and Terry Gordy

<img alt="hjKdP2b.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hjKdP2b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Andre the Giant makes his big (pun intended) return to the WWF saving Tommy Rich from a two on one beat down at the hands of Larry Zbyszko and Bob Backlund...Andre and Rich would team up to main event a series of shows in a short lived but wildly popular tag team...All-Star Wrestling falls to third in the TV ratings behind GCW and WCCW, but the WWF is still the most popular wrestling federation in America

<img alt="W0wX0yD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/W0wX0yD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

GCW remains hot, but Ted Dibiase fails as Tommy Rich's replacement, turning heel then slipping down the card...Jimmy Snuka defeats Sgt.

<img alt="TBBBgG8.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TBBBgG8.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Promoter Jim Crockett is widely criticized for using Ric Flair in a series of matches against mid-card talent like Brickhouse Brown and Brett Sawyer instead of having him feud with one of the few other big names left in JCP like Jay Youngblood or Wahoo McDaniel...fans agree with the critics as TV ratings and attendance remain well below what they were a year ago

<img alt="WEC1esm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WEC1esm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Instead of feuding with Wahoo for the US title, Flair works the mid-card as JCP flounders

<img alt="HWXkIRD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HWXkIRD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Unlikely NWA champion Hercules Ayala retains the belt in matches against MS-1, Pedro Morales and Invader #1

Wow Macho Man passing away in Sept 83, that’s a sad day in the world of pro wrestling.

How is the PNW territory doing?

What's worse, in this game he never made it big...nice run in Memphis, some appearances in SECW, his work in his dad's promotion (IWA I think it was) but that's it...no WWF...no GCW...no major titles <img alt=":mad:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> As far as PNW, as of late 1987 there trucking along as a regional federation, not much to say, just a decent local wrasslin company trying not to get stomped on by the big national companies...pretty much where they were in real life in 1987

More of the same for the WWF in October...Tommy Rich defeats Killer Khan to retain the WWF World title...Rich would spend the rest of the month teaming with Andre the Giant in main event matches against the likes of Larry Zbyszko, Bob Backlund, Tully Blanchard and Roddy Piper

JackKnifed72 · November 19, 2017

<div style="text-align:center;">Sorry everyone...needed to skip a few days, work was a mess this week...back on track now...

...as of late 1983 I've decided that Jim Crockett Promotions, while still in business, is no longer a major promotion...JCP is a regional promotion shown only on local TV...outside of a few loyal diehards like Wahoo McDaniel and Jay Youngblood, as well as Ric Flair swinging through to earn some beer money when he's home on break from touring with NJPW, there's not much going on there...JCP will now be lumped into the "news and notes" section with everyone else...along with the NWA World title and RCW, the WWF and GCW are the only promotions that will get their own separate entries as there is, for now, only the "big 2" in American wrestling

November 1983

News and Notes:

With more and more viewers watching WWF and GCW on nationwide television, PNW's Big Time Wrestling sees a loss in viewership and is bumped to the graveyard slot on local Portland TV...a pair of wrestling legends walk away from the business for good in November: Houston promoter Paul Boesch holds his last local show and former multi-time NWA World champion Lou Thesz retires from his position as road agent from SWCW...

<img alt="FgwZ23i.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FgwZ23i.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Although he became famous well before the "national-TV era", Lou Thesz is still widely considered one of the best pro wrestlers of all-time

...Calgary Stampede Wrestling suffers a huge blow when Dynamite Kid and Bret Hart leave to work full-time in All Japan Pro Wrestling...American stars Buzz Sawyer, Curt Hennig and The Masked Superstar also sign on for the upcoming AJPW tour, although they all continue to wrestle in the US as well...AWA gets a short term boost in ratings thanks to Jerry Lawler's run in the company and (another) Bockwinkel vs McDaniel feud, but they still lag well behind the big 2 in terms of national popularity...Road Warrior Hawk continues to dominate in Memphis, defeating Steve Keirn and Jack Brisco to retain the Southern Heavyweight title as well as teaming with Jerry Lawler to defeat the team of Bill Dundee and Dutch Mantell...

<img alt="k0w2S7O.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/k0w2S7O.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Road Warrior Hawk defends the title in Memphis against Steve Keirn

...Dory Funk Jr., Hercules Ayala and Scott Irwin win the vacant WCCW six-man tag titles...Funk breaks his leg near the end of the match and would miss the next year of action...JCP holds the first annual Starrcade at the DC Armory in Washington DC, the show is highlighted by a rare face vs face title match with Wahoo McDaniel retaining the NWA United States Heavyweight title over Jay Youngblood..."Dr. Death" Steve Williams defeats Stan Hansen in Mid-South in a MOTY candidate (99)

More of the same for the WWF in November...Rich and Andre are the biggest attractions in wrestling at this point, selling out TV tapings and house shows across the country and feuding primarily with the team of Greg Valentine and Roddy Piper...Tommy Rich defeats Jake Roberts at the WWF's big end of the month show

<img alt="W0wX0yD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/W0wX0yD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Jones leave the promotion...Tony Atlas also bolts JCP after he signs a long-term exclusive deal with the WWF...Atlas would work one more match in the Mid-Atlantic territory, dropping the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight title to Don Bass...Hulk Hogan debuts in Memphis, defeating Carl Fergie in a televised squash match then teaming with Adrian Street to lose to the team of Dundee & Mantell...the AWA holds the Brawl in St. Paul in front of a disappointing crowd of just over 5,000 fans...in the main event, semi-retired Paul Jones defeated longtime "enhancement talent" Nacho Barrera...Terry Gordy gets the biggest win of his young career, defeating Terry Funk via DQ in WCCW

<img alt="hjKdP2b.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hjKdP2b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

The WWF guts it's roster, releasing over 20 wrestlers...many are lower carders, aging veterans or wrestlers who work with other promotions and refused to sign an exclusive deal with McMahon...big names in "the purge" include: Curt Hennig, Ron Garvin, Tony Garea, Big John Studd, Ivan Koloff and the Killer Bees...Jake Roberts pulls a major upset, defeating Andre the Giant via DQ...Tommy Rich defeats Bob Backlund cleanly to retain the WWF World title...Rich and Andre defeat Larry Zbyszko and Blackjack Mulligan in a MOTY candidate (98)

JackKnifed72 · November 23, 2017

<div style="text-align:center;"> (Since the in-game awards went almost exclusively to Japanese promotions, I'll do my own set of end of year awards)

1983 End of Year Awards:

Wrestler of the Year:

Winner: "Wildfire" Tommy Rich - Tommy Rich had the biggest impact on North American pro wrestling in 1983...after a successful heel turn and tag-team run alongside Austin Idol in Georgia, he jumped to the WWF, won the world title in his second match, ran off a series of high profile title defenses against the likes of Bob Backlund, Roddy Piper, Jake Roberts, Larry Zbyszko, Blackjack Mulligan, Tully Blanchard, Gino Hernandez and Greg Valentine...his tag team with Andre the Giant became one of the most over acts ever in wrestling and as far as the duos match quality...

<img alt="w7zvKDD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/w7zvKDD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Runner-Up: Wahoo McDaniel - Wahoo was a workhorse in 1983, wrestling 148 matches (98-42-8) for 4 different companies...he held major titles in two of them, the AWA World title and the NWA United States Heavyweight title (JCP)...he wrestled Dusty Rhodes to a double DQ in SWCW in a MOTY candidate (99)

Promotion of the Year:

Winner - World Wrestling Federation - Hands down it was the WWF taking the prize in '83...the WWF grew to cult size and locked up some of the top wrestlers under the age of 35 in the US to exclusive deals including: Tommy Rich, Roddy Piper, Tully Blanchard, Greg Valentine and Larry Zbyszko...despite losing the TV ratings battle to GCW, the WWF is by far the most popular promotion in the US

Runner-Up - Georgia Championship Wrestling - GCW weathered the storm after losing several top stars to the WWF and consistently put on quality shows...thanks largely to being aired Saturdays at 6:05pm on the largest national cable network, WTBS, World Championship Wrestling is the highest rated TV show in America, setting a record with 2.6 million viewers for an episode in October...despite both men being nearly 40, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka and longtime heel Ole Anderson stepped up as the top babyfaces...Adonis and Ventura were the best heel tag team in the country...having the best and most well respected announcer in the country in Gordon Solie helps

<img alt="NvntaI9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NvntaI9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="J5UKjGU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/J5UKjGU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Top stars came and went...but World Championship Wrestling is still the top wrestling show in the land

Biggest Surprise of 1983: Tommy Rich winning the WWF World title in his second match with the company

Saddest Moment of 1983: The death of Randy Savage

Tag Team of the Year: The East-West Connection (Adrian Adonis & Jesse Ventura)

Rookie of the Year: Although Rick Rude had a better record in JCP, Donnie Texas wins rookie of the year, wrestling for the AWA Light Heavyweight title several times, being a top star in River City Wrestling, working with 18yo Mick Foley in Foley's debut match and main eventing an AWA On Tour show against Wahoo McDaniel

Biggest Disappointment: (Tie) Hulk Hogan's title run...ever since appearing as "Thunderlips" in 1982's Rocky III, Hogan was assumed to be the next big star in pro wrestling, but his 4-month AWA title run was mediocre at best...some of the blame goes to the booking, but Hogan failed to connect with the fans the way another blond-haired All-American babyface champion did over in the WWF...

<img alt="hZE6vqk.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hZE6vqk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Hogan gets a shot in the main event, but he fails to get his Hulkamaniacs FARRRRRED UP!

(Tie) Jim Crockett Promotions - Even with Wahoo McDaniel and the occasional appearances of Ric Flair, JCP slid from one of the top promotions in 1982 to barely keeping it's local TV deal in the Carolinas...can they fight back in 1984?

Teasers for 1984 - RCW survives through the year (barely), debuting a couple of BIG stars of the future, a face-painted hero and a "Rocking" young tag team...a well-known American wrestling company closes it's doors for good

JackKnifed72 · November 25, 2017

Nick Bockwinkel defeats Wahoo McDaniel for the AWA World title in a battle of Old Lions

...Road Warrior Hawk scores the biggest win of his career, defeating Mil Mascaras by clean pinfall to retain the top title in Memphis...Ric Flair forms a short-lived tag team with Dr. Death Steve Williams in JCP...showing how bad the talent situation is for Crockett, the biggest match for Flair & Williams is a win over Paul Jones and Tony Garea...Mid-South puts on one of it's best shows in some time with their end of the month show headlined by Junkyard Dog and Ricky Steamboat defeating the team of Dutch Mantell and Jim Duggan...Kevin Von Erich defeats Buzz Sawyer in the match of the month for WCCW (86)

Hercules Ayala spends much of the month in Japan, defeating top Japanese stars like Riki Choshu and Genichiro Tenryu to hold on to the NWA World title

RCW announces it will be holding it's next event in February...JD Greene promises a "big surprise" if Homeless Mick gets in his way...rookie Donnie Texas will challenge Doug Vines for the RCW Heavyweight title

Theheel · November 26, 2017

Wow wait a minute. Turner cancels the highest rated wrestling program in the country? Did the Time Warner deal early without AOL driving that entity? That is a strange deal for them to drop wrestling when they were so pro the wrestling industry.

Glad too see Bockwinkle get a well deserved title win in the ring instead of given to him by Stanley Blackburn.

The NWA promoters must be being blackmailed to allow their title to remain on Hercules Ayala....who? I would have loved to have been in the meeting that made that decision.

Thanks for following...

- Yeah it was a surprise to see GCW get dropped...I'll be adding that to the narrative, and it has an impact on the future of pro wrestling

- Bockwinkel was a great wrestler, but with WWF pulling away with hot young stars just entering their primes like Tommy Rich, Tully Blanchard and Roddy Piper, is a 49yo champion and figurehead the way to go? We'll see how they do

- The Hercules Ayala title run is surprising...I could see a huge international star like Antonio Inoki or Mil Mascaras but Ayala is barely at 40-45 popularity outside of Puerto Rico

Theheel · November 26, 2017

I agree that Nick being champion at this point other than transitional isn’t ideal. But having Wahoo as champion wasn’t going anywhere either. Nick was such a great interview though and Verne wouldn’t let the poor man win the belt in the ring. Even after Satan Hanson’s walkout in 86, they just awarded the title to him. It happened to often in the real AWA. It would have been interesting if a Magnum TA had gotten the AWA Title, maybe there is hope in your universe for something like that.

Well, considering JR and Cornette had to talk Watts into turning Mr. Wrestling 2 heel instead of Magnum, which was his breakthrough program AND Dusty isn't booking JCP, Magnum not being a thing is easy to see. So much had to go right for Magnum to explode on the scene, that any one of them not happening could have rendered him a midcard nobody.

I think that Black Saturday thing was a narrative as Al had several in to obliterate Georgia in the 2013 version of the mod, and most of those got carried over into the updated 16 version. They probably had enough money to not go out of business, which is why they're still alive at this point.

<div style="text-align:center;">Breaking News from the CNN news desk...

January 10th, 1984...Bernard Shaw and Mary Alice Williams reporting...

Williams: "...in shocking news today, WTBS founder Ted Turner has announced what has been rumored for weeks is true, he has sold controlling interest in Turner Broadcasting and all it's subsidiaries, including this network."

Shaw: "That's right Mary, while Mr. Turner still owns both the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks, he has stepped away from TBS and CNN. Turner Broadcasting has been sold to a group of investors led by CNN co-founder Reese Schonfeld..."

Williams: "...reportedly for well over 1 billion dollars..."

Shaw: "The amount of the deal, and for that matter Mr. Turner's reasons for stepping aside from the company he built are unknown at this time. As are Turner's plans beyond operating the Hawks and Braves. But I for one think I speak for everyone here when I say Mr. Turner will be sorely missed and forever beloved and respected by everyone here at CNN."

<img alt="UBWUOfU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/UBWUOfU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Bernard Shaw and Mary Alice Williams break the news of the change in ownership of Turner Broadcasting

Days later Ted Turner would give a brief interview on CNN, stating that he was "ready for a new challenge" and looked forward to a career beyond the broadcasting industry. He dodged allegations that he was "forced out" by Schonfeld and others who were angry that TBS and CNN were providing funding to the failing Atlanta Braves baseball team which was losing money and struggling in the standings...

<img alt="6BMK8Ot.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6BMK8Ot.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Turner speaks out...but doesn't say much in his CNN interview

...and his plans for life after TBS? They probably involve his yacht...and maybe pro wrestling?

<img alt="cOFqyah.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cOFqyah.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

It remains to be seen if the world of professional wrestling has seen the last of Ted Turner, but for now he's sipping champagne on his 40' yacht in the Gulf of Mexico

News and Notes:

One of the few "major" stars still working for Jim Crockett is forced to the sidelines by injury as "The Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant misses the next six months with a staph infection (remember, no Z-packs in 1984)...perhaps in an attempt to slow the growth of the WWF and remain relevant, promoters Don Owen (PNW) and Jerry Jarrett (CWA Memphis) announce a talent sharing agreement...

Looks like GCW bounced back quickly from losing Turner's TV shows - will be interesting to see if any promotion ever gets that TV slot in the future.

Ayala being NWA champion for such a long time could be kind of an early death of the NWA. Especially since it seems like Georgia, which is the premier NWA promotion at the moment seems to be ignoring it.

Piper-Rich as the New Megapowers? I can dig it. In a weird way, it's almost as charismatic.

Without a powerful Jim Crockett Promotions, and a marquee champion like Dusty, Flair or Race, the NWA has become an afterthought in the US, but still holds influence in Japan (NJPW), Mexico (CMLL) and Puerto Rico (WWC) Rich and Andre would be a fun team IMHO, like the Mega-Powers, they don't stay together too long but are a huge attraction while together As of late 1987 the US wrestling scene revolves around "the big three"...you can guess the WWF is in that group...GCW seems a safe bet to survive despite no national TV for atleast the immediate future...and the third is...uhm...not River City Wrestling <img alt=":(" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

<img alt="xwC61E4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xwC61E4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

The biggest news in wrestling in April comes from a sold-out Great Western Forum in Los Angeles and the World Wrestling Federation..."Rowdy" Roddy Piper shows his true colors, using a ref bump and a roll of dimes to take out "Wildfire" Tommy Rich and capture the WWF World Heavyweight title...Rich would remain a popular babyface with the WWF but fail to regain the title despite several rematches with Piper...when asked about his double cross of new "friend" Tommy Rich, Piper replied..."Just when they think they have the answers...I change the questions!"
