[B][U]Thursday, Week 3, March 1984[/U][/B] [B]AWA:[/B] Adrian Adonis defeated Wahoo McDaniel for the AWA World Heavyweight title [18 successful defences] [B]MACW in Your Town![/B] Friday, Week 3, March 1984 Well, the world tour on pay-per-view is over, so it is back to the normal circuit. On a side note, from here on out we will also be instating a policy regarding the NWA World Heavyweight Title; except for in special feature matches, title bouts must be Two-Out-Of-Three-Falls Matches. This week we are in the New England region where Roop & Hunter will challenge Steamboat & Youngblood for the NWA World Tag Team Titles while Dory Funk Jr. challenges Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Title; the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title will not be defended tonight.

[B][U]Saturday, Week 3, March 1984[/U][/B] Things may not be so bad after all. After some heated negotiations and a lot of persistance on my part, we have secured a new pay-per-view deal with Closed Circuit U.S. (Big), averting any immediate crisis. On the other hand, Wahoo McDaniel sustained a Sprined Ankle at last night's show, and though he will be working through the injury, it could possibly be a bad omen. Time will tell . . . [B][U]Sunday, Week 3, March 1984[/U][/B] This is Gene Anderson's final day with MACW. He has had a great career, but his best days are definitely behind him. He has been loyal, though, and if I had been able to think of any way to use him, I would have. Sadly, it simply was not possible. I imagine he will likely be retiring now, and we all wish him a happy retirement.

[B][U]Tuesday, Week 1, April 1984[/U][/B] I sealed the deal on buying out CWF today for $1,000,000. HCW, however, is still holding out. [B][U]Friday, Week 1, April 1984[/U][/B] I noticed that the WWF is trying their best to keep Jake Roberts on their roster by giving him the WWF Heavyweight Title. You see, I am currently awaiting negotiations with Roberts since he is the Florida Heavyweight Champion. This will either be the WWF's first true victory over me, or a colossal blunder of epic proportions on the part of Vince McMahon. The best part is that, even if Roberts stays with the WWF, it is no big loss on my part! On a sad note, however, Jay Youngblood is leaving the company tomorrow. [B]WWF:[/B] Jake Roberts defeated Don Muraco for the WWF Heavyweight title [27 successful defences] [B]MACW in Your Town![/B] Friday, Week 1, April 1984 This week we are in the Great Lakes region where The Hollywood Blondes will challenge The Russians for the NWA World Tag Team Titles while Harley Race challenges Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Title; the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title will not be defended tonight.

With that, the two locked up, wrestling for position. Rhodes used his weight and power to catch Flair in a corner, but had to release him. Flair came out with a chop, and Rhodes responded with a chop of his own. Flair hit another chop, and Rhodes did the same. Flair finally gave Rhodes a series of chops, then tossed him through the ring ropes. Flair followed to the outside, then whipped Rhodes into the ring post before tossing him back in the ring. Flair climbed to the top turnbuckle, but Rhodes got up and threw him down. Rhodes hit an elbowdrop and got a one-count. Rhodes hit another elbowdrop and got a two-count.

Rhodes pulled Flair up and put him in a sleeperhold. Flair was slowly getting worn down, but refused to give up. Rhodes kept the pace the way he liked it and worked Flair slow and steady. Flair tried and failed several times to escape. Flair eventually hit a series of back elbows to knock himself free of Rhodes, then turned and hit a series of chops. Rhodes whipped Flair into the turnbuckle, and Flair flipped over and landed on the ring apron. Rhodes tried to nail Flair with a clothesline, but Flair ducked and climbed to the top turnbuckle. Rhodes came back, and Flair hit a flying cross-body press for a near-fall. Flair then started working over Rhodes's legs, draping one over the bottom rope and stomping it repeatedly. Flair also kicked the inside of Rhodes's leg several times. Ric Flair goes for the Figure-Four, but Dusty Rhodes kicks him off! Flair turns around and is laid out by a clothesline from Rhodes. Rhodes hits a series of elbowdrops for a near-fall. Rhodes then catches Flair in another sleeperhold and slows down the pace a bit. Flair has no place to go, but still refuses to submit. Rhodes keeps him grounded for several minutes, trying to force him to give up. Flair eventually pushed Rhodes off into the ropes, but was taken down by a shoulderblock. Rhodes pulled Flair up, but Flair took him down with a small package for a two-count. Rhodes gets up, ducks a clothesline from Flair, then hits a series of shuffle jabs that stagger Flair. Dusty Rhodes goes for the Bionic Elbow, but Ric Flair ducks out of the way! Flair goes to the floor to regroup, but Rhodes goes after him. Rhodes chases Flair around the ring, and then Flair slides back in and stomps Rhodes as he follows. Flair then goes back to work on the leg, stomping it on the bottom rope several more times. Flair then hits a fist drop on the knee. Ric Flair goes for the Figure-Four, but Dusty Rhodes kicks him off! Rhodes hits another series of shuffle jabs to stagger Flair again. Dusty Rhodes executes the Bionic Elbow on Ric Flair! Rhodes goes for the pin, referee Tommy Young counts: one, two, three! Rhodes works the crowd as he is up 1 fall to 0. Flair recovers and goes to the outside to consider his next move. Rhodes taunts Flair, and Flair angrily charges the ring, only to get stomped down by Rhodes. Rhodes goes for an elbowdrop, but Flair rolls out of the ring again. Rhodes goes after him, and the two brawl back and forth on the floor. Flair gets the advantage quickly enough and rams Rhodes into the ring post again. Flair then grabs a chair and nails Rhodes with it and gets a warning from the referee. The referee starts counting them out, so Flair drags Rhodes back to the ring. Ric Flair goes for the Figure-Four, but Dusty Rhodes kicks him off! Flair ducks a clothesline attempt by Rhodes and goes to the turnbuckle. Rhodes goes after him, but Flair kicks him away. Flair nails Rhodes with a flying cross-body press. Referee Tommy Young counts: one, two, three! Flair has evened things up at 1 fall each. WOOOOOO! Flair immediately goes on the attack, nailing Rhodes with a series of stomps to the knee. Flair is on fire at this point, pulling Rhodes up and nailing him in the corner with a series of chops. Harley Race comes to the ring. Flair turns and starts shouting at Race as The Russians sneak to the ring behind Flair. Ivan Koloff lays out the referee with a lariat from behind as Nikita Koloff stalks Flair. Race laughs at Flair, who turns around into Nikita. Nikita Koloff executes the Russian Sickle on Ric Flair! Tony Schiavone denounces the attacks and wonders if Rhodes has sided with Race, Ivan, and Nikita. Rhodes gets up and looks down at Flair with confusion. Ivan and Nikita immediately start assaulting Rhodes as well, answering Schiavone's question. Race enters the ring and pulls up Flair, who hits a low blow to stun his nemesis. Flair then goes after Nikita, nailing him with a series of chops. Rhodes eventually fights Ivan off and gets to his feet, and Flair and Rhodes clean house.

[B][U]Monday, Week 2, April 1984[/U][/B] I have sealed the deal. Jake Roberts will be jumping ship to MACW to resume his role as Florida Heavyweight Champion Snake Roberts! Oddly enough, Jim Crockett Jr. let me give him a Pay-Per-Appearance deal that pays as well as I was wanting to give Jay Youngblood. Yes, that is quite frustrating indeed, thank you for asking. Ah well, at least we have struck a major blow to Vince McMahon and the WWF.
