SirEdger Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Great cards in the Midwest again. Paul Orndorff is proving to be a fighting champion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I think Crusher makes a much better heel and he is off and running again. Wondering if the AWA will soon be Bockwinkle's playground as he seems to be own a roll of late. Great use of your roster as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Love the combo of Kendo/Kabuki! The Orndorff train rolls on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 That's a really solid roster you have developed there. A nice mix of veterans and young boys. Makes for compelling matches up and down the card. That show on August 13th is booked so well. Not a bad match on the card. Love to see that.

LowBlowPodcast Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 AWA ends August on a bright note and you've got a couple of guys like Orndorff and Luger who look really strong. I like the build of Atlas back here in AWA and Hennig continues to built the right way. I am also big on your use of Al Perez. I know he kind of fell out of favor in real life but he has an opportunity here. Keep doing work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmakerrtv Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 AWA All-Star Wrestling on ESPN / TSN for August 30th Jesse Barr vs. Jerry Bryant Jesse Barr has made his intentions clear since arriving in the AWA that he is gunning for the Southern Title, currently held by Al Perez, and doesn’t seem to care who he has to go through to get at it. Facing off against one half of Memphis Vice, Barr proceeded to batter Bryant from pillar to post, not letting the popular tag wrestler get more than the odd move in before power slamming him for a decisive pin. Clearly the Colonel’s latest recruit is not letting anyone stand in his way in his quest for the belt. Buddy Rose vs. Norman Smiley Buddy Rose has been on the comeback trail since his feud with Nick Bockwinkel, but Smiley would surprisingly turn out to be his stiffest challenge yet. The technically gifted rookie had the Playboy stymied at every turn, even coming close to cinching in the Norman Conquest before Rose got to the ropes and broke up the attempt. It took a particularly nasty cheap shot by Rose to set up the Inside Out Backbreaker to get the win. Rose was sufficiently incensed by the young upstart that he was about to give him another backbreaker after the bell until the ref intervened. AWA Six-Man Title Match : Mike Shaw, Dave Schultz & Buzz Sawyer © vs. Al Perez & Badd Company (with Sunshine) In several past matches between these two factions, the pattern has been that of Col. Robley’s men targeting Perez to try to soften him up for a challenger for his Southern Title. With this match, though, it seems like Perez has had enough of their crap and is fighting fire with fire. He kept his focus on, of all people, “The Tank” Mike Shaw, relentlessly battering his arm with big blows and scissor holds while Badd Company kept Shaw’s partners out of the ring. He kept up this assault until he got Shaw down in his own corner and trapped him with the Japanese Armlock (wakigatame), intensely grinding the hold in while Badd Company held off Sawyer and Schultz until Shaw was forced to give up. The crowd was stunned but soon exploded in cheers as Sunshine’s men each held up two belts in what was a truly shocking result. Sgt. Slaughter vs. Killer Khan Chaos. This match was pure chaos, with the huge new arrival for the Sinister Syndicate furiously brawling with the leader of the Cobra Corps. The ref pretty much gave up on maintaining any sort of control over the match, just letting them slug it out until they ended up outside the ring and kept at it until they were both counted out. Things got worse after the match with King Kong Bundy and “Crusher” Blackwell got involved, and it took a long time for the AWA officials to get the situation untangled. The Onyx Express vs. Ricky Steamboat & Paul Orndorff Steamboat has had his problems with the members of the Onyx Express in recent house show matches, so he brought in some impressive backup in the form of his good friend, the World Champion Paul Orndorff. Brickhouse and Koko spent much of their time attacking the neck of Orndorff, wanting to set him up for the Spike Brainbuster. They showed how well they had mastered their tag team skills by frequently drawing Steamboat into the match, then relentlessly double teamed Orndorff as the referee shooed Steamboat out of the ring. Orndorff finally was able to manage a comeback when he dodged a double clothesline attempt by the Express and then fired back with his own double clothesline that flattened both members of the Express. Rather than tag in Steamboat, Orndorff hit Brickhouse with two crushing powerslams before setting him up for the Piledriver. This was the cue for Tony Atlas to charge into the ring and attack Orndorff. While the Onyx Express held off Steamboat, Atlas hit his own powerslam on Orndorff before locking the champ in the Full Nelson for an excruciatingly long time, finally being forced to release it and head back to the locker room by a threat of suspension from the AWA officials. Orndorff now has a deadly new challenger for his belt, who has made his claim in devastating fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then gave the piledriver to Muraco on the chair and looked like he was going to do a second one on the chair but instead went for the cover and pinned Muraco, putting an end to his title challenge once and for all.
