1. In the opener, Wrath destroys Mark Youngblood with the Meltdown.

3. Nikita Koloff unloads on Chief Jay Strongbow with the Russian Sickle. Nikita is able to gain a rather surprisingly easy victory in this budding feud.

4. ‘Mad Dog’ Buzz Sawyer and Killer Khan go to a no contest after both were counted out while brawling around the ringside area. Both were bloody messes by the time security was able to pry them off each other.

5. Fabulous Kangaroos w/ Red Berry def. the Blackjacks after they hit Blackjack Lanza with the Boomerang in a hotly contested match. Red Berry was the difference in this match causing distraction after distraction.

-Buddy Rogers comes down to ringside. Rogers says he knows the fat tub of goo that is Dusty Rhodes is in the building visiting some friends. Rogers challenges Dusty’s manhood and demands the ‘American Dream’ come down to the ring and face him like a man.

Dusty appears at the top of the ramp to a loud cheer from the capacity crowd. Dusty asks Rogers if he wants a piece of the son of a plumber that is the ‘Dream, baby.’ Dusty charges the ring and the match is on.

6. In a special attraction match, Buddy Rogers def. the visiting Dusty Rhodes with the Figure Four Grapevine. Rogers was in a bad way until Dan Severn attacks Dusty on the outside as Rogers had the referee distracted. Severn delivers a German Suplex into the railing allowing Rogers to sink in his finisher in the ring for the win.

7. In a non-title match, King Kong Bundy w/ Paul Ellering def. Georgia champ, Ox Baker w/ Killer Khan with an avalanche. It was a stunning loss for the over confident Baker.

8. For the Georgia tag titles, Road Warriors w/ Paul Ellering retain over the Headhunters w/ Norvell Austin after a Doomsday Device on Headhunter B. A great match that could have gone either way. The Warriors get the duke after Headhunter B crashes on a deathjump attempt to set up the finish.

1. New Age Outlaws debut with a win over the Mighty Yankees (LT). BG James finishes the match with the Pump Handle Slam on MY #2.

2. Wrath continues to look impressive with a win over Jay Youngblood. Once again, Wrath uses his Meltdown to finish off an opponent.

3. Once again the Assassins use trickery to defeat Bob Roop/Brad Rheingans. The Assassins switched spots when Assassin #2 got into trouble. Assassin #1 was able to load his mask and deliver a knockout blow to Brad Rheingans.

-Afterwards, Bob Roop got on the house mike and told the crowd he was tired of losing. He went on to say that it was Brad Rheingans fault they were often on the losing end. Roop picks up the dazed Rheingans and drops him with a Shoulder Breaker to sever their friendship.

4. Johnny Valentine def. Waldo Von Erich with the Atomic Skullcrusher in a hard-hitting contest.

6. Dick the Bruiser/The Crusher def. the Koloffs by disqualification when the Funks came out of the crowd and attacked Bruiser/Crusher.

-Terry Funk grabbed the house mike, telling the crowd the Funks were back in Georgia. Terry said they were gonna bust some heads while they were here and were going to start with the Bruiser and the Crusher for their first victims.

7. In the main event for the Georgia title, Georgia champ, Ox Baker w/ Killer Khan def. King Kong Bundy with the Heart Punch. Paul Ellering had accompanied the Road Warriors to London, England and was not in Bundy’s corner. Bundy seemed lost during the match without Ellering and every time he got something going, Killer Khan was able to sway the match back to Ox Baker.

-Before the matches started, the New Age Outlaws came out to say a few words. BG says that the Funks made quite an impression at the last show but the Outlaws would not be outdone. Kip challenges the Funks to a match later in the show.

1. In the opener, Wrath def. Brad Armstrong with a Death Penalty. Brad Armstrong was way over matched in this one.

2. Brad Rheingans def. Bob Roop by countout when Roop takes a lot of punishment and decides he’s had enough of Rheingans.

5. Da Crusher def. Ivan Koloff by disqualification after Nikita Koloff charges the ring and nails Crusher with the Russian Sickle. Crusher had Ivan locked in a stomach claw prior to Nikita storming the ring. The Bruiser charges down to ringside to help his friend and clears the ring of the Koloffs.

6. In a great bout, the Funks def. the New Age Outlaws with Dory’s Butterfly Suplex on Kip James. The Outlaws had the Funks on the ropes until Terry is able to turn the tide with a sucker punch. Afterwards, BG told the Funks that this wasn’t over and if it as a war they wanted, then a war is what they’ll get.

7. In the main event, the DWA Intercontinental and Georgia tag champs, the Road Warriors w/ Paul Ellering def. The Assassins to retain the Georgia tag titles. The Warriors decapitated Assassin #2 with the Doomsday Device to secure the win.

Afterwards, King Kong Bundy comes down to ringside, still furious over Paul Ellering not being in his corner during his loss to Georgia champ, Ox Baker. Hawk and Animal keep Bundy away from Ellering but Bundy promises he will crush Paul Ellering when he’s through.

-The show opens up backstage where the Road Warriors and Paul Ellering are talking about being traded to GLW. They are interrupted by King Kong Bundy who tells the Roadies they’ve been shielding Ellering from him and the time for payback has come due. He challenges them to a match for the main event and then tells Ellering once he’s squashed the Warriors, he’s next.

1. Killer Khan def. Bob Armstrong with the Mongolian Kneedrop. Bob Armstrong came into the match looking for a little payback as Killer Khan interfered in his match with Georgia champ, Ox Baker. However, what he got was dominated. Two Oriental Spikes had Armstrong bleeding from the mouth and he ate a Mongolian Kneedrop for the finish.

2. Wrath def. Brad Rheingans with the Meltdown. Wrath had trouble with Rheingans but eventually put him away with the Meltdown. Afterwards, King Kong Bundy comes out and goes nose to nose with Wrath before stepping back and shaking Wrath’s hand.

-At the broadcast table, Gordon Solie runs down the big trade between GCW and GLW; bringing Nick Bockwinkel, Bret Hart, Ted Dibiase, and the Fantastics to Georgia while sending the Road Warriors to the Great Lakes. Gordon announces that the Georgia tag titles are vacant and a tournament will be held in the near future to crown new champions.

Speaking of champions, a round robin tournament will start next week with the winner earning a ’Money in the Bank’ Georgia title shot at any time the winner so chooses. Gordon announces the participants as Buddy Rogers, Mil Mascaras, Johnny Valentine, Nick Bockwinkel, and Bret Hart.

3. Terry Funk beat up on BG James, winning with the Spinning Toehold. James didn’t go down without a fight but the result was never in doubt.

4. Jack Brisco/Johnny Valentine def. Buddy Rogers/Dan Severn with a Johnny Valentine Atomic Skullcrusher on Dan Severn. Valentine showed Rogers he was ready for the round robin by dominating Severn in the ring.

5. In the main event, DWA Intercontinental tag champs, the Road Warriors battle King Kong Bundy/‘Mad Dog’ Buzz Sawyer[/color] to a no contest. Bundy came down without a partner but waved to the back and out came Sawyer. The two teams battled each other all over the ring and ringside area before the referee had enough and declared the match a no contest.

The Road Warriors haul Sawyer up for the Doomsday Device but shockingly, Paul Ellering pushes Hawk off the turnbuckle and Hawk crashes through the ringside table. Animal goes to confront Ellering but Bundy chases him from the ring. Ellering enters the ring, raising the hands of Bundy and Sawyer, and proclaims them the real Legion of Doom.

Gordon states changes have been made to the Round Robin tourney. 16 wrestlers will compete in 4 elimination matches with the winners advancing to a final elimination match.

Baker starts talking about being the longest reigning Georgia champion but gets interrupted by ’Precious’ Paul Ellering and his Legion of Doom team of King Kong Bundy, Mad Dog Vachon, Buzz Sawyer, and Jake ’The Snake’ Roberts.

Ellering says Baker is lucky to have that belt and if he really wants to prove himself then he defend that belt against Jake Roberts tonight. Ellering goes on to ramble about the Road Warriors situation. Paul says the Roadies thought they got one over on him by negotiating their own trade but it was Paul who got the last laugh in the end.

Paul says he’s accumulated the greatest force in pro wrestling in this version of the Legion of Doom and nobody can stop them. Paul finishes by telling the Road Warriors he hopes they like ’slummy’ Detroit.

5. Harley Race got the win over a tough Kevin Von Erich with the Piledriver. Afterwards, Harley Race got into a verbal argument with Dusty Rhodes who had been doing commentary for the match. The two were separated but not before Race sucker punches Dusty, knocking the ‘Dream’ to the ground.

Good card there, I like the LOD making a impact with brute force...

[holland227]

Great stuff here. Ox Baker is tough!

[jasonjaconetti]

Liking the Mad Dogs as a team. They are going to have some stiff competition, but they looks solid.

7. GCW champion, Ox Baker w/ Killer Khan overcome a tenacious Tommy ‘Wildfire’ Rich to win with the help of Killer Khan and the Heart Punch. Rich had Ox on the ropes until Killer Khan grabs Tommy’s leg as he came off the ropes attempting the Thesz Press. Tommy confronts Khan but eats the Heart Punch when he turns back around to face Baker.

Afterwards, Killer Khan hit repeated Oriental Spikes on Tommy Rich. Security is finally able to pry Khan off Tommy but Tommy had to be stretchered out of the arena.

8. King of Kings elimination match[/i]: ‘Nature Boy’ Buddy Rogers def. Bret Hart, Harley Race, and ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper was eliminated first after Da Crusher catches him with the Crusher Bolo on the outside of the ring. Piper is easy prey for a Bret Hart Sharpshooter and Piper is the first man eliminated.

Harley Race was the next to be eliminated as he took a ton of punishment from Bret Hart. Bret was able to keep Harley down for the count after a bulldog.

Buddy Rogers was crowned the King of Kings and wins a Money in the Bank title shot anytime, anywhere of his choosing. Rogers and Hart put on a wrestling clinic but it was Rogers who was able to sink in his finisher to win the match.

[jasonjaconetti]

Nice to see the Nature Boy win the King of Kings. Ox Baker better be ready for the challenge.

[gabe72]

Ox has done really well. I never expected him to win the belt from Mil Mascaras and definitely never expected him to keep it this long. Buddy Rogers will be a definite challenge for Ox.
