Your Jr. champ is actually five pounds heavier than your Heavyweight Champion (Mascaras was generally listed at 246 pounds) :)

 

That aside, I think Mascaras and Idol (and Honky) are great choices as singles champions, and Hansen and Brody will be amazing challengers for your tag belts. Not sure if even help from Idol and Johnny V will be enough to save the Platinum Club in this case. .

Wow Knoxville Civic centre got a crazy day of wrestling, Smoky Mountain in the morning and Continental in the evening and then again back Monday night (Wasn't intended).

 

I like this version of CCW, when Fuller wanted to expand and sound more national in 1985 he would of loved a roster this stacked...

CCW Tour 1985


March 28, 1985


National Guard Armory


Cullman, Alabama


Bell Time- 7:30pm




The Nightmares (#1/#2) w/Woman defeated Tracy Smothers/Shawn Micahaels when Nightmare #2 pinned Michaels after a flying headbutt from the top rope




Mr. Olympia pinned Dick Slater with a school boy roll up




First Blood Match


Marty Jannetty beat Tom Prichard after running his head into the ringpost outside the ring splitting his head wide open




Tag Team Challenge Match


The Super Destroyers (#1/#2) w/Sir Oliver Humperdink defeated Chavo & Mando Guerrero when Super D #2 pinned Mando after headbutting him with a loaded mask and giving him a superplex





Grudge Match


Brad Armstrong w/Bob Armstrong pinned Jesse Anderson w/Ole Anderson after a Russian Legsweep,


After the match Ole Anderson got on the mic and apologized to the Armstrongs and said clearly they are the "better men", both Andersons offered a handshake which the Armstrongs eventually accepted with apprehension….it seemed to be genuine as the Andersons went as far to raise the Armstrongs hands and hug them…however as they were leaving ringside together the Andersons ambushed the Armstrongs on the floor, allowing them to spike piledriver Bullet Bob on the concrete floor. Marty Jannetty, Tracy Smothers, and Shawn Michaels ran out to make the save but the damage was done




Alabama Title Match


The Honky Tonk Man w/Sir Oliver Humperdink


Vs.


Hector Guerrero



HTM came out and did a lot of stalling demanding to see Guerrero's "papers", saying he was not a "legal" challenger for the Alabama championship. Eventually referee Ron West forced the match to start…..Hector came very close on several occasions to winning the title, before The Super Destroyers ran in and attacking him causing a DQ, Chavo and Mando hit the ring to even the odds and eventually Humperdink called for a retreat from ringside. Hector took the mic and told Humperdink, "This is not over fat man!"





SEMI-MAIN EVENT


CCW Tag Team Title Match


Ron/Robert Fuller fought to a double countout w/ the Platinum Club (John Tatum/Steve Regal) w/Johnny V




MAIN EVENT


Southeastern Title Match


"Bullet" Bob Armstrong


Vs.


Hercules Hernandez w/Sir Oliver Humperdink



Hercules and Hump come to the ring, Humperdink takes the mic and says obviously after what the Andersons did to Bob Armstrong, he will NOT be able to defend the Southeastern Championship so he thinks Ron West should bring the belt on out here so they can take it by forfeit…..Ron West comes out but he doesn't have the belt with him, he says they will ring the belt and start the count and he will win by count out but NOT win the title…..As West gets to the 4 count..'Bad to the Bone' hits and 'Bullet' Bob Armstrong comes out with a neckbrace on and a bandage on his head…Brad Armstrong and Tracy Smothers are trying to stop him but he pushes them aside and gets in the ring….Hercules assaults him the moment he steps between the ropes and just brutalizes him for several minutes ripping off the neck brace….before locking him in the full nelson….Armstrong is bleeding and obviously in tremendous pain but refuses to submit….finally Brad Armstrong grabs a towel off the time keeper's table and throws it into the ring ending this assault…..Ron West calls for the bell and begrudgingly awards the Southeastern Title to Hercules Hernandez!

Now I admit I have never heard of Cullman, Alabama but that has to be the best show ever there. A grudge match,a Pearl Harbor attack by the Andersons, HTM and the "papers," and then those two main events with a title change!

 

Such a fun show. Please start to use some of the UFW titles as I can't wait to see what yo have instore for them.

The Andersons, Ole and Jesse who you will learn more about later in this program attacked 'Bullet' Bob Armstrong earlier in the evening injuring his neck which would lead to Armstrong losing the Southeastern Championship to Hercules Hernandez. We'll have footage of this match up and more next week here on Continental Championship Wrestling and this will cause some changes to tonight's card at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham which includes tonight's match between Hercules and Dutch Mantell which will now be for the Southeastern Heavyweight title.

One thing I love about southern wrestling from the territory days is that every Saturday TV is a go home show for the big event that week, Memphis and Southeastern being the kings of it back in the day. Your show here Gene is exactly that, a great go home show for this Monday night, and next week will have to be the same to sell the tickets. Kudos to you...
