April - Week 2

 

Solie: Last week, after Bob Giegel's decree, unprecedented measures were taken here on the Superstation TBS. If you recall, ALL matches involving the Russians now carry a "Loser Leaves Town" stipulation, if the loser is Russian, they must also leave the National Wrestling Alliance and the United States of America. In big news, last week, we have already seen Gregori Wiskoski forced out of the country. But, it came at a terrible price: the Russians exacted their revenge and One Man Gang, Arn Anderson, Matt Borne, B. Brian Blair and Bobby Fulton are all gone from Georgia Championship Wrestling. It remains to be seen how long the company can hold out against the Russian onslaught. And there is STILL no sign of Ivan Koloff. We are told that Tommy Rich is making good progress on his recovery after his neck was injured at the hands of the Russian peril.

 

Ole Anderson has vowed to find his friend, it all promises to come to a head NEXT WEEK at The Omni. After last week's disgraceful actions, it has been announced that Ole Anderson will be taking on Kolenko Markoff one on one inside a STEEL CAGE. In addition, extra security has been brought in to ensure that NO other Russians can be at ringside.

 

Also at The Omni next week: The Russian Bear will be taking on STAN HANSEN in a Russian chain, loser leaves town match! And Dick Murdoch and Larry Zbysko will join forces to take on Hammer and Sickle in a No Holds Barred Texas Tornado, loser leaves town tag match. This is MAKE OR BREAK time for Georgia Championship Wrestling. Everything is on the line or else the IRON CURTAIN will fall on this great sport.

 

[most of this show focuses on other matches and workers]

 

Ole Anderson (promo): An Iron Curtain threatens to fall on Georgia Championship Wrestling. For weeks now, Markoff and the KGB and The Russian Bear and those ... goons, Hammer and Sickle, have been coming out here and wreaking havoc with anyone and anything. Now everyone knows I'm not the biggest fan in the world of Tommy Rich but I was SICKENED by the brutal attack on him. And I have lost many hours of sleep thinking about where in the hell my old buddy ... Ivan Koloff might be. They. Took. Him. Away. In. A. Body. Bag.

 

These are not men. These are not human beings. Communism has a way of stripping the humanity from people. But this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA god dammit! We stand for freedom! We stand for humanity! We fight the good fight against evil people. People like YOU Kolenko Markoff!

 

So when I get you inside that steel cage at the Omni next week, I am going to beat you to within an inch of your life. You ain't got no back up now have you? I'm going to take your skull and ram into that cold steel again and again and again. You haven't got anywhere to hide inside that cage. And if you didn't know I am an ANDERSON. And as an Anderson I specialize in breaking people's bones. Maybe an arm. Maybe a leg. Just think about this as you walk down that aisle to face me ... it might be the last time you walk at all!

April - Week 3 - Omni Supershow

 

We get a video package of Chris Markoff working out. He's clearly old and out of shape but is seen in full CCCP tracksuits doing situps and starjumps Moscow 1980 style.

 

Dick Murdoch and Larry Zbysko vs. Hammer and Sickle (/w Boris Malenko), No Holds Barred Texas Tornado Loser Leaves Town Match

 

Murdoch and Zbysko dominate the early going and the heels can't get anything going at all. Malenko trips Zbysko which looks like the transition, but Hammer and Sickle fail to capitalise. They are greatly outclassed in this match and it's obvious they are going to lose. Murdoch hits the brainbuster on Hammer but Malenko drags the ref out of the ring and lays him out with a punch.

 

Murdoch fucking loses it and just starts beating the shit out of Hammer's head. He's out cold and bleeding from under the mask. Zbysko goes after Malenko and chases him to the back. Meanwhile The Russian Bear has been making his way to ringside and nails Zbysko with a clothesline as he goes past. This allows Malenko to get a chair to KO Larry. Russian Bear hits a big splash on the concrete.

 

Back in the ring, Murdoch is still beating on Hammer. Sickle sneak attacks him from behind as the ref comes to for 1, 2, 3.

 

Ring announcer: Dick Murdoch and Larry Zbysko must now leave Georgia Championship Wrestling!

 

Crowd are about ready to riot.

 

The Russian Bear (/w Boris Malenko) vs. Stan Hansen, No DQ Russian Chain Loser Leaves Town Match

 

Hansen jumps the Bear as he's stepping through the ropes and chokes him with the chain. He wraps it round his fist and basically beats the shit out of him. Russian Bear is both bleeding profusely and virtually immobilized in the middle of the ring. Solie wonders on commentary how Hansen is actually going to be able to drag this massive man to all four corners of the ring.

 

He tries and shouts from the top of his voice trying to haul this huge carcass to the first turnbuckle. Russian Bear is out cold and virtual dead weight. While this is going on Sickle hits the ring and Boris Malenko schoolboys Hansen. Sickle wraps the chain around Hansen's throat and then pulls down on it from outside the ring. Meanwhile, Malenko grabs a glass of water from ringside and throws it in Russian Bear's face trying to revive him.

 

Sickle still has Hansen pinned down by the chain and Russian Bear now gets up to give him a big splash. Sickle starts decking Hansen in the face too. He is now a bloody mess as well. Russian Bear tries to drag him. Gets to the first corner. Gets to the second corner. And the third.

 

But Hansen comes to and starts fighting back. Sickle jumps up on the apron and Hansen lariats him. Hammer now runs down to ringside. Hansen hits the lariat on Russian Bear who doesn't go down first time. ANOTHER lariat and he's floored. He goes to the ropes for a big knee drop but Hammer trips him. Sickle comes to as well. They manage to pin Hansen down and Malenko produces a handkerchief from his pocket. CHLOROFORM!

 

That puts Hansen out cold and The Russian Bear is able, just about, to drag him to all for corners for the most dastardly on wins.

 

Ring Announcer: Stan Hansen must now leave Georgia Championship Wrestling!

 

The fans are besides themselves at this point. Some might even leave or be thrown out.

 

Ole Anderson vs. Kolenko Markoff, Loser Leaves Town Cage Match

 

Markoff comes out wearing those old 70s-style short shorts. Ole gets a big ovation but he's all business and looks PISSED. Boris Malenko attempts to come to the ring with Markoff but is escorted back to the locke room by armed policemen.

 

Ole absolutely annihilates Markoff to start. He's a bloody mess within 1 minute and Ole seems hell bent on breaking his leg. Shinbreaker! Kneedrop from the top rope onto the leg! He starts trying to throw Markoff into the cage leg-first!

 

Solie talks about the ref possibly stopping the match. Ole sticks Markoff in the figure four and as he does so Hammer, Sickle, Malenko and a very bloodied Russian Bear all try to charge the ring. Police are everywhere. This is chaos. The ref turns to see what's going on and as he does so, Markoff, half-dead, has enough to reach into his shorts to produce a CHLOROFORM handkerchief for his only real offense in the match. Ole is KO'd, while they are still wrapped in the figure-four. Because of that, both his shoulders are on the mat and the ref turns around to count 3.

 

Ring announcer: Ole Anderson must now leave Georgia Championship Wrestling!

 

Solie is heartbroken on commentary. Fans leave the Omni with tears of bitter rage.

 

The Iron Curtain has fallen on GCW.
