Theheel Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I’m catching up with your WCCW diary and have to say I like it so far a lot. I just read wrestling Star Wars from January and was half expecting David to turn heel. That didn’t happen but just with the resentment he might have had after the Flair fiasco over the NWA title, it was in the back of my mind. I’ll start predicting when I catch up fully, but just wanted to chime in and say great old school story. Well I caught up so here goes.... WCCW Live! Chris Adams and Jake Roberts versus Kevin & Kerry Von Erich Mike Von Erich versus Randy Savage - guess this is a bad day for the Avon Erichs Jerry Blackwell versus Michael Hayes David Von Erich versus Kelly Kiniski Iceman King Parsons versus Terry Gordy Gino Hernandez © versus Abdullah the Butcher in a special attraction for the NWA Texas Brass Knuckles championship WCCW Championship Sports (TV) Billy Jack Haynes and the Rock N' Roll Express versus Randy Savage and The Midnight Express Iceman King Parsons and Kerry Von Erich versus Jake Roberts and One Man Gang David & Kevin Von Erich versus Gino Hernandez and Terry Gordy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage was furious following the bell, and became coming at the Midnight Express, who turned to the aisleway along with their manager. Savage himself, didn't want anything to do with Billy Jack, whom he has been giving grief about over the past few weeks. This match gave the two the opportunity to really lock up for a couple of a minutes, but the two walked away clearly evenly matched. For the Fantastics, another big win as their hot streak in World Class continues. After returning from commercial break, Bill Mercer takes us to an interview he conducted with ”Playboy” Gary Hart, but this time around, he is interrupted by none only than the man with Hart’s supposed “Von Erich briefcase”, Jake Roberts! Jake enters the shot hot off the presses, and shoves the briefcase in Hart's face, demanding that Gary owes him his money! He says he ruined David Von Erich's homecoming, and so he completed the task he was asked to perform! Gary stands up for himself and tells Jake he hasn't done nearly enough of what must be done to destroy the Von Erichs! Does he think “Playboy” deals with gentlemen who are willing to cough up as much dough as is in the briefcase only for Jake to spoil some ridiculous party? Yes, the homecoming is all a part of their goal, but he and Jake must go further! He begins preaching about how he wants to see the Von Erich's bleed! He wants to see them cry! He wants to make sure the Von Erich's never step foot inside a wrestling ring again! Jake seems enamored with Gary Hart’s prophetic vision by the end of the segment, and tensions have been quelled for now. Next up, it’s the ”Yellow Rose of Texas” David Von Erich who is on camera alongside World Class interviewer and lead announcer Bill Mercer. Mercer kicks off the segment by welcoming David alongside him and mentions how they just reviewed the tape of Gary Hart and Jake Roberts just shown prior. Sporting his patented cowboy hat, David responds to Hart's comments about him and “his” title. The Yellow Rose says he is not afraid of anyone or anything! He hasn’t been his entire life, and he certainly isn’t now that he’s back from conquering the globe! David says he has seen many men, faced many brutes, cross paths with many foes, and not even an army of one thousand men mustered together by Gary Hart could stop him from achieving his goal of becoming NWA Texas Heavyweight champion, and eventual NWA World champion. He ends the segment by telling Hart and ”the rest of his minions” to bring it on! Iceman King Parsons and Kerry Von Erich versus Jake Roberts and One Man Gang In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Jake Roberts and One Man Gang defeated Kerry Von Erich and Iceman King Parsons in 9:58 when Jake Roberts pinned Iceman King Parsons after hitting him with his briefcase behind the referee's back! Over the course of the match, Kerry was clearly keen on getting his hands on Jake, who would always tag out as soon as Kerry was tagged in. But once Kerry got his hands on "The Snake", the crowd erupted as he laid down as much of a beating he could before being pumbled by One Man Gang from behind! This gave the heels the upper-hand, as they eliminated Kerry from challenging the remainder of their time in the ring, giving Jake the opportunity to win another match through the tainted use of his mysterious briefcase! David & Kevin Von Erich versus Gino Hernandez and Terry Gordy In a superb wild brawl, David & Kevin Von Erich defeated Gino Hernandez and Terry Gordy in 10:16 when David Von Erich pinned Gino Hernandez with an Okana roll as Gordy was too late to break-up the pin! Unlike Jake and Kerry in the prior affair, David and Gino didn't hold back any punches as the two came to blows frequently throughout the match, much to the crowd's pleasure. Gino came across as the big ego trying to show the world just how great he is, while David played the spoiler in Gino's dramatic theatre. He also showed signs of frustration to his partner for the night, Terry Gordy, who didn't come across as tenacious as Gino's usual tag partners, perhaps allowing Gino to take more a beating than he would have liked. The opposite can be said for Kevin, who wonderfully acted in support of his brother David throughout the match. Their tag chemistry was clearly a big factor in walking away victorious in this one. Needless to say, after the match Gino was furious. After arguing for the referee for a few seconds, Gino looked to the aisleway and began waving his hand towards his position... And running down came heel support “Gentleman” Chris Adams and Jake “The Snake” Roberts! They hit the ring and immediately began plummeting both Von Erichs, with Gino joining into the foray after quickly recovering. The three men separated David and Kevin into different corners, Gino moving between both as he gave the boys some heavy boots. David in particular received a real mean slap across the face from Gino, as well! Terry Gordy had dropped to the outside, watching as the Von Erich fell victim to the dastardly trio… Fans on the outside, all enraged over what was happening, urged Gordy to get in and save the babyface superstars… But perhaps before Gordy had an opportunity to play hero, the fans attention quickly turned to the arrival of Kerry Von Erich and a familiar face to World Class wrestling... his friend for life… Brian Adias! Making his Texas wrestling return, childhood friend of the Von Erichs and former Varsity football teammate of Kerry Von Erich, Brian Adias, hit the ring with his best friend from the age of four and quickly overwhelmed the The Dynamic Duo and Jake Roberts! Brian focused mainly on Jake, taking him to task against the ropes, launching him off, and hitting him with a big elbow! The fans lit up even more when Brian chucked Jake over the top rope! Meanwhile, Kerry brought the heat too, throwing Chris Adams over as well. He took Chris around the aprons, smashing him into the corner posts and punishing him on the open ground. With David and Kevin stunned, this left Gino standing face-to-face with Brian Adias, two men who have battled at various points in time in the past, but perhaps no bigger moment than right now. Gino egged on Brian, who didn't back down in the face of arrogant competition. Gino charged for a big hit and Brian countered with an excellent sweep, sending Hernandez straight to the mat! Getting to his feet, Brian rushed Gino into the corner and began to drill into him with hard rights and a couple gut kicks! By this time, Jake was getting back into the action, and nearly got into it again with Brian Adias before Gino scurried out of the ring and prompted Jake to follow him along. David and Kevin were also looking to join the fight, this time, out numbering the trio for the first time! With the heels running to the back, the babyfaces cherished the admiration of their home state crowd! Copyright 1985, Southwest Sports, Inc.

Theheel Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Well not too bad for a rookie in this thing but I do have a question. Why is Jim Cornette so lousy with his interfering tactics? They seem like they backfire every week on him and that is not the Louisville Lip that I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like they backfire every week on him and that is not the Louisville Lip that I remember. Maybe it's just plain 'ole bad luck! Lucky for him, screwing up every match can't last forever! Would expect it has to turn around at some point... Thanks for the kind words and for following along this diary! I couldn't imagine David returning from Japan and turning heel, but certainly perhaps one of the Von Erich's will one day make the switch...

In another test of strength of recently returned “Yellow Rose of Texas”, savage antics from the Missing Link may have reminded David of some of his most savage opponents in Japan and from across his world tour. With his intimidating size as well, Link was overpowering David early on, but the will of David allowed him, along with the support of the people, to come back and catch Link off-guard with his father’s patented submission hold. After his win, Gino Hernandez, accompanied by the other half of the Dynamic Duo, Chris Adams, run out to ringside and almost take to the ring to attack David, but make the choice to simply exchange words instead. After the opening match we are taken to Bill Mercer standing side-by-side with another new return to the World Class territory, Brian Adias! He is introduced, alongside Kerry Von Erich, as a close family friend of the Von Erichs, and reminds the people he grew up alongside Kerry and the rest of the Von Erichs and calls him his brother from another mother. Mercer mentions Brian has been traveling the country, wrestling all around, and has returned to World Class inspired by David’s return. Adias concurs with Mercer’s take, and then calls David the true Texas Heavyweight champion, before putting himself over as another one of Texas’ finest talents. He says he’s returned to show the fans all he’s learned and just what he’s all about, and to prove himself he issues a challenge to Jake “The Snake” Roberts! Adias calls him a snake, a rat, and every nasty creature in between! He tells Bill that Kerry has agreed to an incentive to draw Jake from out of his cave, and offers Jake a shot at the NWA American Heavyweight title at the February Star Wars event, if he can pin Brian with by pinfall! Kerry backs up his best friend Brian, and confirms he nor Brian are scared of Jake or anyone he associates with! He says he doesn’t even need to think twice about facing Jake, because he’s so confident that next week, Brain will be able to beat Jake if he has the guts to accept the challenge, like a real man! We cut back to the ring where Jim Cornette is seen holding a microphone, standing alongside his tag team, The Midnight Express. He announces he’s met with the World Class governing body, and they’ve graciously agreed to grant The Midnight Express another shot at the NWA American Tag Team titles. Cornette, however, isn’t humble whatsoever, and calls it a travesty that the Midnights need to even compete in a match just to earn their rightful belts back. As he brings up the current champions, and their current rivals, The Fantastics, Cornette reminds himself why the crowd is so excited to hear their name, ”It’s because their as stupid and dimwitted as all of you idiots out here!” That drew a big reaction from the fans in attendance, but their jeers quickly turned to cheers when the champions themselves came out from the entrance way! Bobby Fulton gets the fans going when he starts mocking Cornette, trying to impersonate his mannerisms and mocks Cornette getting permission from his mother to even get a ride to tonight’s show! Fulton reminds the fans, and particularly Cornette, that the reason his tag team lost their last chance at the belts was because of him! Fulton calls Cornette the worst manager he’s ever seen, and tells Jim, ”We ain’t got no issue with a big rematch between us, because we know as soon as we get in those ropes and those phonies are standing across from us, it’s already over because we’re the Fantastics and we’re the best team this crowd has ever seen!” Fulton is commanding with his words, and Cornette looks to be in an odd combination of frustrated and angry. No matter the case, the Fantastics walk out of his one standing tall. But out comes another hot, rising team in World Class Championship Wrestling… The Rock N’ Roll Express! The Midnight Express versus The Rock N’ Roll Express In a bout which got the crowd hotter and had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, the Rock N' Roll Express defeated The Midnight Express in 10:03 when Ricky Morton pinned Dennis Condrey following a second missile dropkick from the top rope, following interference disrupting Bobby Eaton by one half of the tag champs, Bobby Fulton! The Fantastics got themselves involved in this won, much to the chagrin from the babyface challengers. Undoubtedly for the Midnight Express, an awful night ahead of their tag title rematch. Back with lead announcer Bill Mercer, he is joined by Terry Gordy, wearing his normal wrestling trunks and a hooded sweatshirt. Mercer gives Gordy an opportunity to share his thoughts, and Gordy thanks him before giving the fans this hot take: Michael Hayes has left World Class wrestling, and Gordy says his former tag team partner, and partner-in-crime has left him out to dry in the hot Texas heat! Hayes has jumped town, left the territory, and Michael Hayes told him he didn’t need Terry anymore! Mercer is shocked to learn this, as this is the first he is hearing of it apparently... Terry looks slightly beside himself when he first shared the update, but as Mercer continues to ask him about just exactly what is going on between The Freebirds, Gordy composes himself. ”Yeah, Bill, yeah, I know! Everybody loves the Freebirds! Everybody hartes the Freebirds! And Michael is a major part of the Freebirds, there's no doubt about that! But Michael, I got news for you boy! You think you’re dumping me? You think you’re the hot shot you claim to be? I know the real you, Michael Hayes, and I know you ain’t as hot to trot as you says you is! And you can’t fool me like you can fool all these people, ya hear? I ain’t afraid of you, and I ain’t afraid of nobody in World Class wrasslin’! And I know there’s only one thing left to do now, and that’s to prove Michael and the rest of the world wrong that Terry Gordy is the better man, and that I’m the greatest wrestler the world has ever seen!” Brian Adias and Kerry Von Erich versus Chris Adams and Jake Roberts In a storytelling bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Chris Adams and Jake Roberts defeated Brian Adias and Kerry Von Erich in 15:25 after Chris Adams pinned Brian Adias following a Superkick thanks to interference from his manager Gary Hart. This time, the briefcase did not come into play, as Jake didn’t really have the chance this time ‘round to make the final blow. Instead, Adams took the spotlight in this match, and looked really good against Kerry Von Erich. While they both fought one another a majority of their in-ring time, Brian Adias mainly squared-off against Jake Roberts. Adias and Roberts came across as evenly matched for the most part, although perhaps Adias only held on because Kerry frequently made the save when required... However, "The Modern Day Warrior", Kerry Von Erich couldn't save the day at every opportunity, and had himself in a bad situation with Roberts as Adams broke through the ceiling with Adias, and nailed him square with a Superkick thanks to distraction by his manager! Following their victory, Adams and Roberts gloated in front of the spiteful Texas crowd. On most nights, they would take the boots to Adias and Kerry, but tonight, Jake Roberts surprisingly took to the microphone, and gave the fans some news. He accepts Brian’s challenge for next week, and promises to take the NWA American Heavyweight title from Kerry because of it! Bill Mercer is riled up after the main event, calling it sad night in World Class, but says next week's match between Adias and Roberts is sure to be a barn burner! Tune in next week for another episode of World Class Championship Sports, the major league of professional wrestling! Copyright 1985, Southwest Sports, Inc.

You've been super supportive of my work so thanks for jumping on the wagon of this WCCW diary! Same as you, I've always had a lot of intrigue over World Class. Before the WWE Network, my exposure was extremely minimal. I had always heard of the Von Erichs, and the World Class territory, and all I would ever hear is how hot the Von Erichs were back in the early 80's and how unique and special of a situation it was. The more I learned about it, the more I understand why this was, and thanks to the Network you can really see just what everyone was talking about. Surely the World Class audience had the greatest ratio of female:male fans ever seen in American wrestling during its peak. Plus you combine it with the most sincere general communal following/gathering aspect of World Class in the Dallas-area... running the same venues and doing multiple shows per week with a really strong following, another real rarity in professional wrestling. I hope this diary acts as a "what if?" for World Class perhaps breaking out of Texas and surviving the onslaught of Vince and the WWF... Thanks for reading! Also, quick question for the audience, does anyone know how to code a three-colored border around my posts? Interested in having the red, black and blue around my show posts... think it would look super cool. Please PM me if you know how!</blockquote> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Guard M Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 This is off to a fantastic start OGpistolpete, and starting from 1985 was a perfect choice. If you avoid the real life setbacks, the wealth of possibilites going forward is endless. I look forward to seeing the future of men like Gino Hernandez (who in reality is one of the biggest cases of "what if" in my opinion) and David Von Erich under your watch. And you've got Randy Savage! No more needs to be said! I like the set up for a potential Terry Gordy solo run. Your love for the time period shines through via your writing. I think your presentation is perfect too. If I ever try my hands at an 80s dynasty, I'll be looking to your presentation for inspiration for my own. Keep having fun with this! I'll be checking back in often. I want to see you take WCCW into the 90s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you avoid the real life setbacks, the wealth of possibilites going forward is endless. I look forward to seeing the future of men like Gino Hernandez (who in reality is one of the biggest cases of "what if" in my opinion) and David Von Erich under your watch. And you've got Randy Savage! No more needs to be said! I like the set up for a potential Terry Gordy solo run. Your love for the time period shines through via your writing. I think your presentation is perfect too. If I ever try my hands at an 80s dynasty, I'll be looking to your presentation for inspiration for my own. Keep having fun with this! I'll be checking back in often. I want to see you take WCCW into the 90s! Thanks for the kind words, friend! I'm glad to hopefully be of inspiration for more 1980's diaries, certainly couldn't ever be enough! Hope you follow along!</blockquote> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The Crusher versus The Missing Link How the hell old is the Crusher at this point? Jerry Blackwell versus One Man Gang As a little kid I legit thought that Gang and Jerry were the same person because they look so similar.

legendaryhorseman Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I know I said it before, but I'd have to say that I truly feel like I'm in the Sportatorium as a spectator for all of these events! You've got a certain knack for storytelling, I will tell you that much. By the way, do you think you can get me a Dynamic Duo t-shirt? I mean, if it isn't too much trouble! WCCW Live!
