Diamonds Are Forever: A Jim Crockett Promotions Diary by Pipers Pit & Kimberly

joshbrady91 · August 19, 2020

I absolutely love this old school diary! I'll be heavily rooting for Magnum T.A. & Rick Rude.

I'm from Halifax and back in the day this was a hot spot for wrestling, that unfortunately has been forgotten with time. With that said I'd love if Leo Burke shows up and gets a decent push.

<strong>Williams flattens Petit with a flying shoulder tackle to begin the match and never looks back. Williams again shows off his awesome combination of power and quickly but the brutality is the icing on the cake. Petit is out cold following the Ura nage.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

WINNER BY PINFALL: STEVE WILLIAMS</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>David Crockett welcomes the American Dream Dusty Rhodes to the interview area. Rhodes says that he knew Starrcade would be the match of his career as soon as he signed his name on the dotted line but it wasn’t until recently that he realized Ric Flair feels the same way.Th is is two opposing forces, two natural disasters on a collision course for the most prestigious championship in the world and only one man can walk out with it. He urges Ric Flair to look in his eyes and understand that Dusty Rhodes will be that man.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:10px;"><b>KIMALA W/GARY HART VS JOE SAVOLDI</b></span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Savoldi looks very tentative as the match begins and for good reason. Kimala is every bit as frightening as he is unorthodox in the ring. The mind games added to the savagery spell doom for Savoldi and Kimala is in firm control and eventually ends it with a running splash. </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

WINNER BY PINFALL: KIMALA</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Tony Schiavone welcomes Gino Hernandez and Sam Houston to the interview area. They talk about the attack put on them by the Andersons but Hernandez points out they’re not running scared and they’re not going away. Houston agrees and says they want the Andersons in the ring next week and they want those NWA Tag Team titles on the line. Ole and Arn are real good at hitting someone in a sneak attack but if they’re man enough to accept the challenge they’ll be walking out without those belts when it’s all said and done.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:10px;"><b>TOMMY RICH VS DUTCH MANTELL W/JAMES J. DILLON</b></span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>A good back and forth match. Mantell controls the early going but Rich begins to build momentum. Mantell ditches to the outside for a breather but Rich follows and they brawl for a few moments. Mantell slings Rich into the ringpost but he doesn’t hit it cleanly. Mantell rolls back in and takes the referee’s attention. Rich begins to pull himself up to his feet when suddenly someone else shows up at ringside.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

Chris Adams pauses for a moment before striking out with a superkick to the back of Rich’s head, planting him on his face. Adams leaves and when Earl Hebner turns around he begins his count and reaches ten.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

<em>Tony Schiavone welcomes the Rock and Roll Express. Robert Gibson says for the last several months there has been a shadow hanging over the two of them and the shadow is a whiny little baby with a tennis racket. They can respect the Midnight Express for their skill in the ring but they will never and can never respect that they have the miserable little Jim Cornette in their corner. Ricky Morton agrees and says the only thing that dispels a shadow is the light and at Starrcade they want the Midnight Express and when it’s over they’re going to light up Jim Cornette!</em></p><p> </p><p>

Bob Caudle and Buddy Colt welcome us to this week’s episode of World Wide Wrestling and hype this week’s show. We’ll see Buddy Landel, the Midnight Express, the Great Kabuki and Gentleman Chris Adams..and more!

<b>BUDDY LANDEL VS ICEMAN KING PARSONS</b>

A back and forth match but Landel kicks Parsons low behind the referee’s back and then quickly applies the figure four. Parsons is in no position to fight back and has to tap.

WINNER BY SUBMISSION: BUDDY LANDEL

In a pre-taped interview Gordon Solie sits down with Larry Zybyzko ahead of his NWA United States title match at Starrcade. Zybysko filibusters the entire segment ranting about Magnum, his lack of class, education, talent and the like. Solie finally gets a word in and asks if Zybyzko can avoid the belly to belly suplex that has put everyone down and Larry just chuckles and reminds him he’s talking to the Living Legend.

<b>THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS W/JIM CORNETTE VS THE GUERREROS</b>

A great match between two teams who can do this with their eyes closed. Cornette on the outside ends up distracting Mando which allows his men to quickly double team Chavo. Eaton hits the Alabama Jam from the top and Condrey keeps Mando from stopping the three count.

WINNERS BY PINFALL: THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS

<b>THE GREAT KABUKI W/GARY HART VS TIM HORNER</b>

Kabuki uses a mixture of martial arts and just bizarre behavior to hold the advantage throughout the match before ending it with a diving heart punch.

WINNER BY PINFALL: THE GREAT KABUKI

Mike Graham joins Caudle and Colt for a few moments and says he’s humbled but focused to say he’s going to compete in the battle royal dedicated to his father. He says most people will doubt him but he WILL make his father proud and he will show the world what the last name of Graham really means.

<b>CHRIS ADAMS VS BRAD ARMSTRONG</b>

A pretty decent fight between these two but Adams is the one who steps up at the end and puts Armstrong down with a superkick.

WINNER BY PINFALL: CHRIS ADAMS

Caudle and Colt tell us we’re in store for another installment of...Hot Rod’s.

<em>NWA Television Champion Ricky Steamboat joins David Crockett. Steamboat says nothing should surprise him when it comes to Roddy Piper. If snakes could wear kilts he’d be a perfect match. But Dick Slater was someone who he thought had integrity. He was wrong about that but one thing that he isn’t wrong about is Starrcade. In two weeks Roddy Piper will have to pay the piper and Steamboat is going to enjoy every minute of it.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:10px;"><b>TERRY GORDY VS GEORGE SOUTH</b></span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Gordy wastes no time in grabbing the early advantage in the match and never relinquishes it. Gordy shows off his power and agility for a man his size.

<span style="font-size:10px;"><b>THE ROCK AND ROLL EXPRESS VS RECKLESS YOUTH</b></span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>These two teams compliment each other with their similar styles and high paced offense. The younger Michaels and Jannetty match Rock and Roll move for move and even grab the momentum thanks to double teams behind the referee’s back. Morton eventually makes the hot tag and when he does Robert Gibson shows how experience matters. The RnR take control and end it with their patented double dropkick on Jannetty for the win.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

<span style="font-size:10px;"><b>THE ANDERSONS © VS GINO HERNANDEZ AND SAM HOUSTON</b></span></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>The Andersons don’t seem to be taking their opponents very seriously but Hernandez and Houston are dead serious about their title opportunity and their chance for payback. For awhile it looks like we may see a title switch but the Andersons use their tried and true method for dealing out punishment but they can’t seal the deal. As Hernandez begins to build momentum and is sizing Arn up for the Deposit someone comes down to ringside.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

Heenan climbs onto the apron and immediately draws the attention of referee Randy Anderson. Meanwhile Ole moves around the ring and pulls Houston off the apron, ramming him into the post. Hernandez meanwhile hits the Deposit but there’s nobody to count. That’s when a second uninvited guest shows up.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

Bob Caudle and Buddy Colt welcome us to this week’s episode of World Wide Wrestling and hype this week’s show. We’ll see Nikita Koloff, Dick Slater, Tully Blanchard, and a special sit down interview with Terry Taylor and Robin Green. All this and more!

<b>NIKITA KOLOFF W/IVAN KOLOFF VS GEORGE WEINGEROF</b>

Koloff jumps Weingeroff before the bell even rings and beats him like he owes him money. Ivan yells instructions from outside as his nephew shows off his brute strength before he ends it with a Russian Sickle.

WINNER BY PINFALL: NIKITA KOLOFF

Gordon Solie sits down with Terry Taylor and Robin Green. They discuss his ongoing issues with Randy Savage. They tell the tale going back over a decade where the three of them all attended the same high school. Terry and Randy were both great athletes and Randy had his eye on Robin who as one might figure, was the prettiest cheerleader in school. But she didn’t feel the same for Savage and although they were never more than friends there was always something between Terry and Robin. And now just as the stars align this jealous figure from their past has crashed their present but Terry Taylor is adamant….Randy Savage will NOT ruin their future. At Starrcade he will put the past behind them once and for all and then...Taylor and Green both sort of blush at the thought of a future together as the segment ends.

<b>BLACK BART AND RON BASS W/JAMES J. DILLON VS THE FANTASTICS</b>

A very good match which goes back and forth. The Fantastics appear to be building towards their rocket launcher finish on Bass when Bart enters the ring and interferes. In the ensuing four man scrum Bass hits Bobby Fulton with the Texas Gourdbuster and Bart keeps Tommy Rogers from breaking up the three count.

WINNERS BY PINFALL: RON BASS AND BLACK BART

<b>DICK SLATER VS OWEN HART</b>

Slater shows a mean streak from the opening bell and while Hart fights hard and gets a small amount of quick offense in, it’s all Slater in this one and he ends it with a new finishing maneuver, a pumphandle neckbreaker.

WINNER BY PINFALL: DICK SLATER

Gary Hart and his Army of Darkness are shown in a pre taped video. As Kimala wails and Kabuki stares into oblivion Gary Hart is all business. He says behind him are the first two soldiers in the Army of Darkness but they will not be the last. Oh no, he has access to the farthest reaches of the universe and the deepest bowels of hell itself and soon they will destroy everyone and everything in their path.

https://i.imgur.com/xVdrhUY.jpg[/img

<b>TULLY BLANCHARD W/BOBBY HEENAN VS AL PEREZ</b>

Perez puts up a good fight and gives Blanchard a good match but in his first real action since suffering a broken jaw Blanchard is laser focused, even more so than usual. Once he takes firm control it’s only a matter of time before he hits his slingshot suplex for the win.

WINNER BY PINFALL: TULLY BLANCHARD

As they close the show NWA United States Champion Magnum T.A. joins Caudle and Colt. He tells them he just wanted to stop by and let all his fans know he’s never been in better shape and he is focused on giving Larry Zbyszko the payback he deserves and keeping his championship. Colt asks how Magnum will celebrate after Starrcade and the champ quips he may buy a new Porsche.

COMMENTS

You deserve an applause, I feel like this dynasty has been underappreciated with the lack of comments. You've done a good job bringing 1980's JCP to life. I like what you're doing with the Anderson's & Blanchard vs. Gino, Sam, & Tommy. Plus the promos for Flair and Dusty's match at Starrcade were really well done. Especially Dusty's who I really feel got the point across that both men are gonna give it their all in this match and only one will come out on top. It makes it a must see contest and I'm gonna be one of the ones reading it.

The Wrestling Observer newsletters are very well done, and add a small behind the scenes sneak at the world of wrestling. It doesn't overwhelm the stories in the ring and leaves some things to the imagination just like the real world Newsletter. I am curious about what's happening with Fritz and the NWA, the AWA tried to pluck PNW to their side and that didn't work, is Fritz more persuadable?

Thank you so much for your compliments and all of the folks who have encouraged us along the way.

Bob Caudle and Buddy Colt welcome us to this week’s episode of World Wide Wrestling and hype this week’s show. We’ll see Krusher Khruschev, Gino Hernandez, Terry Taylor and Roddy Piper in action along with a very special sit down interview as Gordon Solie speaks to both Dusty Rhodes and NWA Champion Ric Flair one week from their historic showdown at Starrcade.

<b>KRUSHER KHRUSHCHEV VS GEORGE SOUTH</b>

Khrushchev is on his own but he doesn’t need any help in dominating South in this match. Krusher shows off his power throughout the match and then ends it with a running shoulder breaker for the win.

WINNER BY PINFALL: KRUSHER KRUSHCHEV

A pre-taped video of Randy Savage is shown. He’s picking the petals off a daisy and doing the old ‘she loves me, she loves me not.’ He ends of course with ‘she loves me not’ and then he turns to the camera and takes off his sunglasses revealing intense eyes. He tells Terry Taylor that it’s all his fault and at Starrcade he will face the wrath of the madness...ohhhhh yeaaaaa!

<b>GINO HERNANDEZ VS BILL ANDERSON</b>

Anderson controls the first twenty seconds and then it’s all Hernandez. Gino shows off his athleticism and ability before putting Anderson away with the Deposit.

WINNER BY PINFALL: GINO HERNANDEZ

<b>TERRY TAYLOR W/ROBIN GREEN VS BOB SWEETAN</b>

Taylor looks to be in firm control but when Sweetan hits a stiff clothesline Taylor looks like he’s dazed for a moment. Taylor pulls it together with Green’s encouragement and ends the match with a big suplexplex for the win.

WINNER BY PINFALL: TERRY TAYLOR

We see Jimmy Garvin sitting in his directors chair as Missy tends to his hair. Garvin tells us to get ready because he’ll be making his long awaited debut in the Eddie Graham Memorial Battle Royal at Starrcade!

The boots are shined, the trunks are sparkling and when Missy finishes styling him he will be absolutely….Gorgeous!

<b>RODDY PIPER W/DICK SLATER VS JOE SAVOLDI</b>

Piper shows complete disregard for his opponent, slapping him around and toying with him. When Savoldi gets in a solid right hand Piper goes from laid back to vicious in a heartbeat. He beats Savoli, lighting him up with some body punches. Slater on the outside is all smiles as Piper slaps on the sleeper and Savoldi is soon unconscious.

WINNER BY STOPPAGE: RODDY PIPER

Gordon Solie sits between the two men who will do battle at Starrcade for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. On his left the challenger, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. And on his right the current champion, Nature Boy Ric Flair.

Both men go back and forth talking about the careers and what their match at Starrcade means to them but when Rhodes mentions how his hard work will pay off Flair grows incensed and stands which draws Rhodes out of his chair. With Solie playing peacemaker in the middle Flair points his finger in Dusty’s face expressing how hard he’s worked and how he will retain the title in a week. Rhodes slaps Flair’s hand out of his face and the two go nose to nose as officials enter the scene and the show ends with the two opponents not giving an inch.

I absolutely love this diary. I can remember reading all of the NWA results in the old Apter mags. Might I ask, what mod are you using?

We're still running this game on TEW2016 so we're using Matt Shannon's Risky Business 1985 mod.

Tony Schiavone and David Crockett welcome us to this week’s episode of World Championship Wrestling. To the delight of the audience, especially the ladies, they introduce NWA United States Champion Magnum T.A. Magnum hypes his title defense this Sunday at Starrcade against Larry Zybysko. He says his opponent likes to talk but he likes to fight and in Greensboro he has a belly to belly suplex with the so-called Living Legend’s name on it!

<b>BUDDY LANDEL VS JERRY STUBBS</b>

Landel controls the match doing this poor man’s Ric Flair routine. Even after losing the battle of the Nature Boys he still is keeping the schtick going. He gets a submission out of Stubbs when he puts him in the figure four.

WINNER BY SUBMISSION: BUDDY LANDEL

Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson are highlighted on a music video showing some of the best moves of the Rock and Roll Express ahead of their anticipated match this Sunday at Starrcade versus the Midnight Express.

<b>KIMALA W/GARY HART VS ICEMAN KING PARSONS</b>

Kimala dominates the match though Parsons tries to fight back and even hits a running dropkick which stuns Kimala. Parsons though appears to grab the back of his left leg when he hits the mat. Kimala quickly recovers and delivers a running splash for the win.

WINNER BY PINFALL: KIMALA

<b>RON BASS AND DUTCH MANTELL W/JAMES J. DILLON VS TIM HORNER AND BRAD ARMSTRONG</b>

Dillon’s men control the match throughout and punish both Horner and Armstrong in their corner. Bass makes the tag and then turns to blast Armstrong off the apron. Mantell enters and hands Horner in the Tree of Woe before delivering a running knee and that’s enough to get the win.

WINNERS BY PINFALL: RON BASS AND DUTCH MANTELL

Tony Schiavone welcomes Tommy Rich, Gino Hernandez, and Sam Houston to the interview desk. They all talk about their recent issues with the Andersons and Tully Blanchard but this Sunday the three of them will have the chance to shut them up and if that no good weasel Bobby Heenan gets involved they’ll shut him up too!

<b>DICK SLATER W/RODDY PIPER VS MANDO GUERERRO</b>

Guererro actually controls the early going and a frustrated Slater goes to the outside to be advised by Piper. When Slater gets back in he distracts the ref allowing Piper to blindside Guererro. Slater then moves in for the kill and after spending a few minutes punishing his opponent Slater hits the pumphandle neckbreaker.

WINNER BY PINFALL: DICK SLATER

Slater and Piper look like they’re about to do more damage when Ricky Steamboat runs down. Piper sees him coming and ditches to the outside leaving Slater to take the kicks and chops before Steamboat tosses Slater out of the ring. The Television Champion wants Piper to come back in the ring and Piper teases it before waving Steamboat off. Schiavone and Crockett hype how explosive their match this Sunday will be as the show goes off the air.

Bob Caudle and Buddy Colt welcome us to this week’s episode of World Wide Wrestling. Caudle then introduces their opening guests along with their manager: the Midnight Express and Jim Cornette.

Cornette goes off on a rant about his men and how the women love them and the men fear them. He then goes on to call Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson no talent hacks, adding that compared to Loverboy Dennis and Beautiful Bobby they look like both their mothers had a one night stand with the Elephant Man. Finally he says his men are ready to ensure that Starrcade will forever be known as the day the music died.

<b>BRAD ARMSTRONG VS STEVE LOMBARDI</b>

Armstrong is usually on the losing end of matches but in this case he shows how talented he can be on offense. Much like his father ‘Bullet Bob’ he’s not flashy but just a solid worker who makes you believe. To get the win he whips Lombardi into the ropes, then bounds off the opposite side, hitting a running hook clothesline which gets the three count.

WINNER BY PINFALL: BRAD ARMSTRONG

Gordon Solie in a pre taped interview sits down with Randy Savage. He asks Savage about the tale that has been told about his past with both Terry Tayor and Nancy Green. Savage speaks in low tones, seemingly calm...or as calm as he can be. He tells Solie the world only has half the story and that is because his side has yet to be written. Because the victors write the history books and at Starrcade he will be the victor and then all the world will know the truth. Terry Taylor has never deserved anything that has been handed to him but he deserves everything that he’s going to get, ohhhh yeeaaaaa.

<b>BLACK BART W/JAMES J. DILLON VS JOE SAVOLDI</b>

Bart dominates the match and when possible Dillon still finds time to get in a cheap shot behind the referee’s back. Bart focuses on Savoldi’s lower back and finally delivers a side slam for the win.

WINNER BY PINFALL: BLACK BART

<b>BOB ROOP VS GEORGE WEINGEROFF</b>

To be honest this match is not a barn burner by any stretch of the imagination. Roop controls most of the match and finally ends it with a running shoulder breaker for the win.

WINNER BY PINFALL: BOB ROOP

The Andersons and Tully Blanchard with Bobby Heenan cut a pre-taped promo on their opponents for the big six man tag at Starrcade. They belittle Hernandez, Houston, and Rich as not in their class and predict a quick and total victory over them. Ole does make one promise that he and his teammates will enjoy every minute of hurting those punks.

<b>THE FANTASTICS VS JESSIE BARR AND JIMMY GOLDEN</b>

The match follows the textbook example of the heels controlling, the hot tag, and the comeback. Fulton really sells the beating he takes but Rogers is on fire when he gets the tag. With Barr on his back, the Fantastics hit their reverse suplex rocket launcher for the win.

WINNERS BY PINFALL: THE FANTASTICS

Bob Caudle and Buddy Colt run down Starrcade for the audience as a last chance to entice the audience.

Pipers Pit · September 14, 2020

Tom Miller, longtime JCP ring announcer welcomes the crowd to the Greensboro Coliseum. After informing them where they can purchase programs and merchandise he runs down the card before introducing the competitors in the first match.

<b>THE ROCK AND ROLL EXPRESS VS THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS W/JIM CORNETE</b><span style="font-weight:normal;">

If you look up the definition of tag team wrestling in the dictionary you’d see a picture of these teams. The chemistry show is off the charts as they battle back and forth with both squads controlling long swathes of the action. The Rock and Roll Express begin building momentum and the Midnights look a little worn down when Eaton falls victim to the double dropkick. Before the referee can count the pinfall Cornette is on the apron. This draws the referee and allows Dennis Condrey to slip away with Cornette’s tennis racket. He bashes Morton over the head and rolls his partner Eaton on top before exiting the ring. Cornette drops down but keeps jawwing at Gibson who doesn’t know what’s happened until it’s too late.

WINNERS BY PINFALL: THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS

As the Midnight Express ditch to the outside to celebrate Cornette climbs onto the apron again with his back to the ring to taunt the fans. Gibson is attending to Morton in the ring and when they both get to their feet and see Cornette they rush him, double dropkicking him off the apron onto Condrey and Eaton below who barely catch him. It’s clear this rivalry is nowhere near finished.

The dislike between these two is evident from the beginning and it’s Zbyszko who uses his veteran tactics to gain the early upper hand. He works Magnum over with his martial arts strikes but finally Magnum has had enough and slings Zbyszko into the corner where he lights him up with old fashioned rights and lefts. Magnum shows off some strength by picking up his challenger in a military press and slamming him down. Zybysko makes a comeback based off an eye poke but when he goes for a Savate kick, Magnum blocks it and spins him around right into a belly to belly.

WINNER BY PINFALL AND STILL NWA UNITED STATES CHAMPION: MAGNUM T.A.

Bobby Heenan accompanies the Andersons and Tully Blanchard to the ring before stealing the microphone from Tom Miller. Heenan runs down their opponents tonight saying it's no wonder the audience cheers them because Hernandez, Houston, and Rich are no different from the humanoids sitting in the front row stuffing popcorn in their mouths.

Before he can disparage them more the heroes hit the ring and as Heenan heads for safer ground a six man brawl breaks out.

<b>GINO HERNANDEZ, SAM HOUSTON, AND TOMMY RICH VS THE ANDERSONS AND TULLY BLANCHARD W/BOBBY HEENAN</b><span style="font-weight:normal;">

An action packed match which sees everyone get ring time and offense. Houston is cut off from his team and punished for a while before making the tag to Rich who cleans house. Heenan gets on the apron and he’s knocked off with a right hand. The six man brawl begins again and in the chaos Tully Blanchard grabs a chair and slides it onto the ring. Arn Anderson takes advantage and delivers a spinebuster onto the chair to Sam Houston who had just become the legal man before the brawl. He slides the chair back out of the ring and the bad guys steal one.

WINNERS BY PINFALL: THE ANDERSONS AND TULLY BLANCHARD

Terry Taylor and Robin Green are making their way to the ring when she lets out a scream and Randy Savage suddenly appears, blindsiding Taylor in the aisle. Savage viciously attacks him before rolling him into the ring.

<b>TERRY TAYLOR W/ROBIN GREEN VS RANDY SAVAGE</b><span style="font-weight:normal;">

Savage continues his attack as the bell rings. Taylor is in bad shape but he keeps kicking out of pin attempts. Finally he makes a comeback and with Green cheering him on he takes control of the match dealing out punishment to Savage. Savage tries to escape to the outside and when Taylor follows, Savage grabs Green and pulls her in front of him. Taylor backs off and by letting his guard down he falls victim to a burst of violence as Savage explodes into him. Taylor is sent back in the ring and Savage climbs to the top rope but Taylor lunges and hits the ropes crocheting Savage on the top, in the process accidentally knocking the referee down. Taylor looks dazed with Schiavone questioning the concussion he suffered a few weeks ago. Taylor climbs up to the top and gets Savage in position for his suplerplex when Green climbs halfway on the apron and grabs Taylor’s boot, tripping him and when they go through the move Savage lands on top of Taylor. Referee Earl Hebner gets back to his feet and sees Savage on top and counts to three.

WINNER BY PINFALL: RANDY SAVAGE

Following the match Savage climbs to the second rope, his finger in the air in celebration when Green enters the ring. She looks at him coldy with her eyes narrowed as she approaches him. Savage begins to grin and so does she. Green jumps into Savage’s arms as they share a kiss to the boos from the crowd. They leave the ring together both with wide smiles.

Steamboat is hot and immediately goes for Piper, lighting him up with chops and kicks. Slater tries to intervene but he gets the same treatment and tumbles out of the ring. Piper spends the opening minutes in deep trouble as Steamboat seamlessly glides through the air with a barrage of offense. When Piper takes it outside to talk to Slater, Steamboat slams their heads together before pulling Piper back into the ring by his hair. The Television Champion seems to be in full control but Piper takes advantage of one small mistake and slaps the sleeper on. Steamboat struggles to get to the ropes but he’s still on his feet. The referee checks his arm and it falls once, twice, but on the third try Steamboat’s arm shoots towards the sky and he maneuvers Piper to deliver a belly to back suplex. Piper again is on the receiving end of punishment when suddenly he clearly and blatantly kicks Steamboat low in front of the referee which causes the obvious disqualification.

WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION AND STILL NWA TELEVISION CHAMPION: RICKY STEAMBOAT

Piper waves Slater into the ring and the two of them begin attacking the fallen champion who is still smarting from the kick. Officials finally force Piper and Slater to leave the ring as Piper plays to the crowd trying to incite a riot.

<b>THE EDDIE GRAHAM MEMORIAL BATTLE ROYAL</b><span style="font-weight:normal;">

A ton of talent including several world champions are in the ring to pay their respects to Eddie Graham and when the battle royal ensues it doesn’t take long for guys to start going over the top rope. Mid way through the match Jimmy Garvin takes a tumble to the outside but he goes through the middle ropes. Near the end fan favorite Mike Graham is still in it fighting for the memory of his father but he faces tall odds against Nikita Koloff and Dr. Death Steve Williams. Graham happens upon a miracle when the two bulls turn on each other and eliminate each other. Graham is thrilled and begins jumping up and down when Jimmy Garvin slides back into the ring and tosses Graham out to win the match.

WINNER: JIMMY GARVIN:

Dusty Rhodes brings the fans to their feet as he makes his way down to the ring being played in by a familiar song of the day.

As Rhodes awaits in the ring the NWA World Champion Ric Flair walks out to the flashbulbs and the crowd is on their feet as his entrance begins.

This match is everything people had been expecting and more. The momentum shifts back and forth for over thirty minutes as both men give their all to walk out with the most prestigious championship in the world. After working over Rhodes’ knee Flair gets the figure four locked in and when the referee isn’t looking he uses the middle rope for leverage but finally referee David Manning sees and forces Flair to break before Rhodes can submit. Rhodes fights back on one almost one leg and hits a bionic elbow but at the very last second Flair’s boot finds the bottom rope. Rhodes keeps up the attack to the point Flair looks like he might fall flat on his face...which he does. Rhodes is feeling it and goes in for the kill but when he tries to hit a running elbow drop Flair rolls out of the way and quickly goes back to work on the leg. Flair drags Rhodes to the middle of the ring and begins to put the figure four back on but Rhdoes cradles him into a small package for the 123.

WINNER BY PINFALL AND NEW NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: DUSTY RHODES

Rhodes is in pure joy and celebration mode as Flair looks stunned. It begins to set in that he’s lost the title. As the referee raises Rhodes’ hand Flair grabs the title from the ringside table and walks up the stairs looking down at it. There is a tense moment as the two men stand face to face before Flair offers Rhodes the title belt. Rhodes takes it, visibly mouthing ‘thank you’ before offering a hand to Flair who accepts it after a very deep breath and moment of hesitation. Flair leaves the ring as other heroes flood the ring to celebrate with the American Dream.

Tony Schiavone and David Crockett welcome us to this week’s episode of World Championship Wrestling and hype this week’s show. We’ll see in action the Malekos, Rick Rude, Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin making his WCW debut and in the main event Gino Hernandez vs Dutch Mantell. We’ll also see the new NWA World Champion Dusty Rhodes right here!

<b>THE MALENKOS VS GENE PETIT AND GEORGE SOUTH</b>

The Malenko brothers are in full control as they use their technical prowess to wear down their opponents making use of crisp tags. Finally Dean puts George South in a cloverleaf and when he turns him over, Joe Malenko hits a running knee drop on the back of South’s head knocking him cold. The referee calls for the bell.

WINNERS BY STOPPAGE: THE MALENKOS

Rick Rude comes down to the ring but he stops and begins flirting with a young lady in the front row. She’s very receptive and Rude lays a kiss on her before going to the ring.

<b>RICK RUDE VS BILL MULKEY</b>

Whether it was the kiss or Rude’s natural disagreeable persona but he puts a beating on Mulkey showing off his power and hits his usual move set before he ends it with his Rude Awakening.

WINNER BY PINFALL: RICK RUDE

<b>JIMMY GARVIN W/MISSY VS PAUL DIAMOND</b>

A good match between two young guys with a lot of potential. Garvin has eyes for Missy all through the match trying to show off for her which causes him some issues when Diamond catches him distracted but Garvin rebounds and ends the match with a standing vertical suplex which he turns into a brainbuster.

WINNER BY PINFALL: JIMMY GARVIN

David Crockett welcomes Jimmy Garvin and Missy over to the interview center. Garvin says that after Starrcade it’s clear he is the best wrestler in the world. He points out that to win the battle royal he beat Harley Race...he beat Buddy Roberts….he beat Kerry Von Erich. Who has that kind of resume? And that means everyone here in Jim Crockett Promotions is on notice. The Gorgeous One is here and he’s going straight to the top!

<b>GINO HERNANDEZ VS DUTCH MANTELL W/JAMES J. DILLON</b>

Dillon helps his man from the outside and Mantell controls the first half of the match but Gino makes his comeback, staggering the veteran with a flurry of offense which leads to the Deposit which gets the 123.

WINNER BY PINFALL: GINO HERNANDEZ

The new NWA World Heavyweight Champion, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes comes out to the desk wearing a ridiculous brown fur coat. He says first and foremost he wants to thank the good man upstairs. Second, he wants to thank all his fans around the world. And third, he wants to thank Ric Flair because he knows Flair gave him his best at Starrcade. And Flair knows that he did the same but that night the best of the American Dream was just a little bit better than the Nature Boy’s. But he also wants to thank Flair because he showed that when you’re carrying this belt Daddy you have to look the part. Schiavone asks him how much that coat cost him….$500? …$1000? Rhodes plays shy but then says it cost him…..$22 at the Salvation Army store cause you don’t have to spend like a fool to look like a million bucks baby and as long as the Dream has this belt he’s the money man around here, if you will.

Bob Caudle and Buddy Colt welcome us to this week’s episode of World Wide Wrestling and hype this week’s show. We’ll see Cowboy Ron Bass, Dr. Death Steve Williams, the Guerrerros vs the Russians and in the main event, from the Dallas Sportatorium, Kerry Von Erich versus Terry Gordy. All this, and a special sit down interview with Roddy Piper!

<b>RON BASS W/JAMES J. DILLON VS BRAD ARMSTRONG</b>

Dillon does his usual solid work at ringside but Bass doesn’t really need him in this one. Armstrong sells like a champ as Bass grinds him down. When he feels his opponent is sufficiently worn down Bass hits the Texas Gourdbuster for the win.

WINNER BY PINFALL: RON BASS

In a pre taped promo Gary Hart is seen with his men behind him. He promises the audience that if they thought it was bad, it’s about to get much much worse. The Army of Darkness is growing and soon their third soldier will make his debut!

<b>THE GUERERROS VS NIKITA KOLOFF AND KRUSHER KHRUSCHEV W/IVAN KOLOFF</b>

A good tag match which sees the Guererros make a solid comeback in the middle of the match and with quick tags they have the Russians shook up but Ivan calms his men down and they go back to relying on their brute strength. That’s enough to regain the momentum and Nikita finishes Chavo off with the Russian Sickle.

WINNERS BY PINFALL: NIKITA KOLOFF AND KRUSHER KHRUSCHEV

<b>STEVE WILLIAMS VS OWEN HART</b>

Williams must have dinner reservations because he makes short work of Hart in this match. Using a series of ameteur takeowns and suplexes Williams dominates until he slams Hart down with a Ura nage.

WINNER BY PINFALL: STEVE WILLIAMS

Gordon Solie sits down for the second time with Roddy Piper. Solie’s opening question is the one on everyone’s mind: why? Why did Piper get himself disqualified at Starrcade? Piper finds the question amusing, replying that he does what he wants to do. This wasn’t about some piece of tin, this was about getting what belonged to him….the spotlight. Now everyone is talking about Roddy Piper but he’s not quite done with little Ricky. Someway, somehow, some place, he’s going to keep extracting a little more, he’s going to keep collecting his pound of flesh. Solie asks him when this retribution will be over and Piper just smiles and says that’s for him to know, and for Ricky to find out.

<b>KERRY VON ERICH VS TERRY GORDY</b>

These two show great chemistry and they battle back and forth in front of a crowd which loves Von Erich. Gordy makes them rain down boos every time he punishes their hero but Kerry fights back and puts the bigger man on his heels. Von Erich finally finishes the match by applying the Iron Claw as his father often did. Gordy tries to get out of it but when he can’t he submits.

WINNER BY SUBMISSION: KERRY VON ERICH

NWA United States Champion Magnum T.A. joins Caudle and Colt. He tells them now that Larry Zbyszko is in the rear view mirror he’s looking forward to defending his title against all challengers. Colt tells Magnum that just moments ago they got word from the NWA that his next title defense will be next week here on World Wide Wrestling against Canadian strongman, Dino Bravo. Magnum says he’s heard a lot about Bravo and he’ll fight hard but at the end of the day, this United States Championship isn’t going anywhere!
