Thatcher welcomes everyone to the return of All Star Wrestling live from the Knoxville Civic Ballroom, Thatcher tells us that we have an exciting week of wrestling action with Private Don Kernodle in action, the Smoky Mountain Tag Team Champions the Batten Twins will be here, we will have an interview with Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Champion Ron Starr and much, much more. At this point we have a mystery man come to the announcer’s desk, he is dress in traditional Arabic clothing with his face covered, he is followed by two other men dressed similar but less luxurious clothing. The first man reveals his face and introduces himself to Les Thatcher as The Great Gama Singh, a world-renowned wrestler stroke businessman and his travels have lend him to here, he is followed by his two comrades Vulkan Singh (Jeff Sword) and Mulkan Singh (Doug Vines). Gama describes that both Vulkan and Mulkan were once pathetic American believing in the American dream but getting nowhere and he helped them see the light and transformed them into the fighters they are now, and they are going to prove it today. Gama Singh asks Les Thatcher to find him two Americans to fight his Karachi Puraa’s (Brothers), so he can personally see the damage they can cause. Thatcher says while they sort this for the truck to run some advertisements from their sponsors. === Commercial === We return with the Karachi Puraa’s in the ring facing off with Tommy Wright and Mike Jackson. The Great Gama is in the ring and removes both Vulkan and Mulkan keffiyeh (headscarf) and turns the referee and tells him to ring the bell. Mulkan and Vulkan both charge towards Wright and Jackson and attack them from the bell, referee Paul Morton tells the Puraa’s to back up from their attack, Gama Singh jumps to the apron and calls them off, Vulkan leaves the ring and the match takes shape. After 3 minutes of action the Karachi Puraa’s get the victory following a running knee from Mulkan to Tommy Wright. Following the bell, The Great Gama enters the ring, places their keffiyeh back on their heads and they leave the ring together, Gama Singh turns to Les Thatcher on the way out and tells him there is no honour amongst the undisciplined. === Run down of this week’s action coming to Smoky Mountain area === Following a short break where this week’s cards are run down, Les Thatcher is joined by a new tag team to the area, The Memphis Vice, Lou Winston and Jerry Bryant. Both Winston and Bryant tell the fans that they are here to clean up the trouble that roam the streets in Knoxville, like they did in Memphis, and they are after the tag team championship, but their good friends with the Batten Twins so are no threat to them. They make their way to the ring to face off with Steve Dunn and Steve Gatorwolf. The match goes for about 5 minutes when ‘Big’ Lou Winston hits a running Powerslam on Gatorwolf followed by the pin for the victory. === Commercial === Before we have the main event today the Smoky Mountain Tag Team Champions Brad and Mark Batten come to the ring to face off with The Interns (Pat Rose and Tony Falk under mask’s). The champions make light work of the Interns and get the victory in 4 minutes, following a top rope dropkick from Brad Batten. Following the match The Battens join Les Thatcher and tell him unlike some champions in Smoky Mountain Wrestling they are fighting champions and open to any challengers. === Run down of this week’s action coming to Smoky Mountain area === After the break Les Thatcher is joined by Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Champion Ron Starr, Thatcher tells Starr he has been champion for several months now, how long does he think he can continue to be champion? Starr replies with a lot of arrogances in his tone by saying, he’s the best around and there isn’t enough competition here in Smoky Mountain and he may have to look elsewhere for challengers for his title. He goes on to say he knows Thatcher has asked him to sit out here for this number one contender match between Private Don Kernodle and Ken Timbs, who are both fan favourites, but he has other things to do, so he signs the contract for this Monday night and leaves with his title. ‘Fabulous Blonde’ Ken Timbs comes to the ring followed by Private Don Kernodle who carries the United States flag over his shoulder. They pair of fan favourites have a competitive match which goes 7 minutes before Kernodle hits a neckbreaker followed but the cover for the 3 count and the victory. Private Don Kernodle will now face Ron Starr this Monday night for the Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Championship. Kernodle joins Les Thatcher who shakes his hand and congratulates him on his victory, Kernodle put over Timbs as a great competitor and he knows he can beat Ron Starr on Monday night and take the heavyweight title. Don Kernodle also says he wants address The Great Gama Singh’s comments around the great USA earlier in the show, he says American is the land of opportunity and if he doesn’t like it, he can go back to where ever he came from. Les Thatcher thanks the fans for joining the show and says we will be back same time next weekend. === Show ends === Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Smoky Mountain All Star Wrestling Saturday 30th March 1985 Knoxville Civic Ballroom, Knoxville, TN Taped in front of a live studio audience at the Knoxville Civic Ballroom, Knoxville, TN Hosted by Charlie Platt and Les Thatcher Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Champion - Ron Starr Smoky Mountain Tag Team Champions - The Batten Twins (Brad & Mark) The opening credits roll and we join Les Thatcher for another exciting week of Smoking Mountain Wrestling All Star Wrestling, Thatcher welcomes the fans and introduces them to his new broadcast colleague Charlie Platt, Charlie Platt say’s its great to be back behind the desk in Knoxville. Platt goes on to runs down todays card, we have an exciting debut with Brian Adias is here, The Memphis Vice are here again and todays main event see’s The Flame versus Charlie Cook. But before we get to the action, I’d like to welcome Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler to the announcer desk. Jerry comes out to a hero’s welcome, he says he dropped by to promote his Jerry Lawler Show that is coming WATE 6 in the summer, Lawler goes on to say he’s going to join Thatcher and Platt for commentary today. === Commercial === Following the short break, Platt, Thatcher and Lawler are joined by new comer Brian Adias, Adias tells the fans it feels great to be here and he’s not here just to make up the numbers but to win championships. He goes on to say he grew up with the famous Von Erich family and if there’s one thing they taught him it’s how to win championships and that’s what he’s here to do, so he’s putting Ron Starr on watch. Brian rolls into the ring for his debut match. His opponent Steven Dunn is in the ring already, the bell rings and the action is under way. Steve Dunn jumps Adias at the bell, and takes control earlier on but it doesn’t take long for Adias to take control and after 6 minutes gets the victory following a side Russian leg sweep and the pin, great debut by Adias. === Run down of this week’s action coming to Smoky Mountain area === We return from the break and the Memphis Vice are out, they shake hands with Jerry Lawler and say it’s great to meet a Memphis legend and he must feel the same, as they get into the ring for their match. Their opponents this week are The Masked Interns, in a short competitive match the Memphis Vice get the win when Jerry Bryant gets a school boy roll up on Intern #1 for the win in 4 minutes. Following the victory, The Memphis Vice celebrate in the ring when two big masked men dress in similar ring gear to The Flame run to the ring and attack Bryant and Winston, a brawl ensues until the locker room empties to split them up. Lawler comments on how Smoky seems as wild as Memphis in the old days. === Commercial === We are back with Tommy Wright and Ron Ritchie in the ring, when The Great Gama Singh leads out his Karachi Puraa’s Vulkan and Mulkan Singh to the ring. The Puraa’s enter the ring clearly under the control of their leader Gama Singh, Singh removes their keffiyeh as they wait patiently for the bell to ring. As the bell rings Vulkan and Mulkan attack the team of Wright and Ritchie, and again like last week Gama calls them off and the match can get under way properly. After 3 minutes of sheer domination the Puraa’s get the win following a knee drop from the top rope from Mulkan to Ritchie and covers him for the victory. Gama Singh leads his team to the back, again telling Platt and Thatcher that there is no honour amongst the undisciplined, and his team are coming for the Batten Twins and their titles. === Run down of this week’s action coming to Smoky Mountain area === Les Thatcher, Charlie Platt and Jerry Lawler are joined by Smoky Mountain Heavyweight Champion Ron Starr. Starr tells Lawler that he should have been the one to get the TV show not him, he’s the Starr, Jerry Lawler laughs off this comment. Starr clearly annoyed by ‘The King’ seemily laughing off the champ, Starr tells Lawler he maybe the king in Memphis, but in Smoky Mountain its Ron Starr. Starr also has a message for Don Kernodle, you may think you came close to winning my title last week, but he’s wrong, he was in complete control. He continues by saying he doesn’t know how he’s managed to convince the championship committee to give him a rematch, but he has, that was his first mistake, the second was asking for a 2 out of 3 falls match, which means he can beat Kernodle twice in one night and finally put to bed Kernodle’s dreams of becoming a champion. Ron Starr exits the announcer’s area as we get set for our main event. === Commercial === We return with Charlie Cook in the ring with The Flame making his way to the ring, on his way he makes a point of getting in the face of Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler’s face and tells him to go back to Memphis. Charlie Cook takes offence to this and jumps out the ring and the match is underway. Cook and Flame brawl on the outside for a few minutes before returning to the ring. After several minutes of back and forth action, Charlie Cook looks like he’s about to finish off The Flame, Cook charges towards The Flame looking for a football tackle when The Flame pulls referee Paul Morton in front of him, who takes the tackle full force. The Flame, calls to the back when the two masked men come to the ring from earlier and attack Charlie Cook, it’s a 3 on 1 attack until from the back out runs The Memphis Vice, Jerry Bryant and Lou Winston, to try and make the save, The Flame and his two masked man take control of the situation using the numbers game to their advantage. The Flame and the two masked man continue their beat down when Jerry Lawler tells Charlie Platt and Les Thatcher that he’s seen enough and runs into the ring to even the numbers. Lawler and the Memphis Vice take control of the action and chase off the 3 masked men, Lawler says he has nothing to do this Monday night, and it’s okay with Les Thatcher, how about we do Jerry Lawler and the Memphis Vice versus The Flame and his goon squad, this get a great reaction from the fans in the audience, Les Thatcher says he doesn’t see why not and books the match, The Flame and the other two men don’t look happy at all. Lawler and the Vice check over Charlie Cook after his beating as the end credits roll, Charlie Platt and Les Thatcher thank the fans for tuning in this week and tells them we will be back the same time next week. === Show ends === (Due to having Jerry Lawler booked for the day I thought I'd share with you the House Show results from later that night in Kingsport, TN) - Ken Timbs, Ron Ritchie and Charlie Cook defeat Phil Hickerson, Steve Dunn and Tom Lintz - The Batten Twin's defeat The Karachi Puraa's via DQ - Brian Adias defeats Pat Rose - The Wild Hoggs defeat Larry Hamilton and Josh Stroud - Ron Starr defeats Don Kernodle - Jerry Lawler and The Memphis Vice defeat The Flame, Fire and Torch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordi Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Very Smoky Mountainish show here! Nicely put. It's one of the many things I really enjoy about this project: the way people write up their promotions gives each one a distinct feel and reading that feels similar to how watching different wrestling shows felt to me in the early to mid 1980s. I definitely agree that Boon has already given Smoky Mountain a distinct feel and style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Thatcher interjects himself and say’s Gama hasn’t earnt himself a title match, but if he wants one how about he faces Brian Adias this Monday night and the winner faces off with the winner of Ron Starr and Don Kernodle. Gama Singh says he will easily overcome Adias and move on to take the title from either Starr or Kernodle to add to his Tag Team Titles.

Tonight's opening match see's Phil Hickerson and Pat Rose defeat Larry Hamilton and Josh Stroud in 6 minutes following a big splash from Phil Hickerson to Josh Stroud. There was nothing to note in this match and could of easily have been inter changed with either of the two dark matches. - 2.

The end came when Ron Starr had several near falls and clearly was getting frustrated with Lucas and his counts. In the end Starr got so hot he went to hit Lucas, only for Lucas to block the punch and push's Starr away, this lead Kernodle rolling up Starr in a school boy and gets the 3 count for the win and the title. Following the match Starr goes to hit Lucas again only for Lucas to block and hit him back with a big right hand, and we end the show with Lucas and Kernodle celebrating.

gordi Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 You're doing a really good job booking your show with what is at this time kind of a limited roster. Building around Ron Starr, Gama Singh, Don Kernodle, and The Flame with Adias coming in and Lawler making regular appearances: That's a pretty strong group of singles wrestlers. And by associating different tag teams with your singles stars (or Albano) you can get the tag division over that way. Seems like you are making the most of what you have to work with.

SirEdger Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Echoing the general feeling here. For the smallest territory in the project, you're really doing an excellent job. Also really is helpful to have Jerry Lawler come in once in a while to add exposure to Smokey Mountain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted April 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks for your feedback lads, enjoying booking this at the moment. I have to be super creative with this roster, but its fun researching and watching random YouTube videos of these guys. I'm going to be using Rock N Roll Express and Jerry Lawler as tools to get some of the other guys over to create an identity while there a talent gap. Glad your enjoying this mishap of a roster..

Charlie Platt announcers we have a new heavyweight champion, and that man is Don Kernodle, and we would like to welcome him out here now. Don Kernodle walks out to the announcers set, shakes Les Thatcher and Charlie Platt hand. Kernodle said this was one of his proudest moments of his life, right behind winning the NWA Tag Team Championship. He says he is going to be a fighting champion, and it starts this week with the challenge of Gama Singh. At this moment, Gama Singh walks out to the announcer’s desk, Singh wearing both tag team title belts, is closely followed by Mulkan and Vulkan Singh, the actual champions. Both Mulkan and Vulkan come out carrying the national flag of Pakistan, Gama tells Kernodle that he has 2 more days with the title before he hands it over to him. Kernodle getting offended by Mulkan and Vulkan waving the Pakistan flag, Kernodle tells Gama Singh this is America and there is no place for those flags, this gets an almighty roar. Gama Singh says when he wins the Heavyweight Title on Monday he will lay the flag down on Kernodle, Kernodle replies by saying over his dead body, as the Karachi Puraa’s walk off, Singh tells Kernodle if that’s the case so let it be. === Commercial === Following a short commercial break, we return to Platt and Thatcher who are joined by Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton, The Rock N Roll Express, the crowd are going wild.

Wright tells Platt and Thatcher to watch his boys go. In the ring are the Orient Express opponents Josh Stroud and Larry Hamilton. The bell rings and Akira and Saito start their attack, the match goes for about 2 minutes when Saito hits a German Suplex and gets the 3 count for an impressive debut win for the Orient Express. === Commercial === After the commercial break, Ron Starr is out sitting in Les Thatcher’s chair with Charlie Platt next to him, Starr tells Charlie Platt that he will refuse to even acknowledge Les Thatcher going forward for his stupid decisions that he believes cost him his Heavyweight Title this past Monday. And although he knows he must wait for his rematch he got more concerning issues and that’s with that wash up old has been Ken Lucas, and this Monday he’s going to teach that old boy a lesson in respect.

Moments later the locker room empties to split the two of them up, as the two groups manage to get Lucas and Starr to the back. We go to the ring with newcomer Ricky Vaughan facing off with Steve Gatorwolf. Ricky Vaughan is 6’2 and 264 lbs and is in great shape and a real blue chipper from Arlington Texas.
