AWA Championship Wrestling

Monday, Week 1, January 1992
Grady Cole Center @ Charlotte, NC

Announcers - Rod Trongard and Mr. T

Attendance - 2,000 *SOLD OUT*

Rating - 0.48
Show Grade - C+ (70)

SEGMENT 1
At the opening, the announcers enthusiastically celebrate the arrival of 1992. Gagne Awards will find their winners tonight. We will find out who will be the best of 1991. The prizes will be handed out personally by Frank Reed.

SEGMENT 2
Our first award: Shocking Moment of the Year. Frank slowly opens the envelope and announces the winner: The Wendigo! He had a long feud with Kamala last year, and during this feud he competed many times, including the Jungle match. We remember the Steel Cage match in Team Challenge Series in the final match of the feud. Here Kamala was paralyzed by surrendering his soul, and Wendigo won the match in this way. We witnessed as the whole arena that Kamala's soul was sold to the devil. While Wendigo is not expected to come and receive the award, all of a sudden it gets dark. We don't see the award after the lights are turned on again. Apparently he did.

SEGMENT 3
Fast forward to the next award: Young Wrestler of the Year. Frank slowly opens the envelope and announces the winner: Owen Hart! Owen, who comes with Jackie Fargo, receives the award. “Thanks, Frank. Owen has successfully represented his family and Canada, not only at the AWA, but also across the US and Japan. No other person deserves this award but him,” says Fargo. Meanwhile, Paul Ellering, Terry Mawashi and Jimmy Del Ray interrupt the ceremony. Ellering talks about his client's AJPW All Asia Tag Team championship and says that soon his teammate (Doug Furnas) will join Racket Club as well. “So not one but two different people deserve this award, Jackie. You better watch your words. You can't insult a young wrestler factory like Racket Club.” While Fargo and Ellering continue to bicker, the prize distribution is interrupted for a while as the tension rises.

SEGMENT 4
Dynamite Kid (Dylan Dowboy and Miss Elizabeth) defeated Jeff Jarrett in 6:15 by pinfall with a Diving Headbutt
Dynamite Kid, who made his debut last night by rushing to the aid of Dowboy and Elizabeth, is making his first in-ring debut tonight. However, since he has not wrestled for a long time, he cannot perform very well.

SEGMENT 5
The duo of Steamboat and Lawler are very happy, who captured the AWA World Tag Team titles last night. The new champions have thrown a great farewell party for Arn Anderson, who will be returning to WCW tonight.

SEGMENT 6
We see Jesse Ventura backstage giving those three people money in a purse for their help last night. We understand that these three are the newest members of the Rental Killers: Ed Ewers, Tom Lindman and their leader, Ken Patera, who has returned to AWA after a long hiatus!

SEGMENT 7
Larry Zbyszko defeated Mr. Sandman in 7:57 by pinfall with a Piledriver

SEGMENT 8
The distribution of the Gagne awards continues. Next award: Match of the Year. Frank slowly opens the envelope and announces the winner: Sting vs. Sid (Wk 4, Oct 1991 - AWA Championship Wrestling) Sid receives this award since Sting is actually a WCW wrestler and is not in the AWA. Frank wants to know about his feelings from him. “After all, it was a match you lost, but thanks to this match you got a reward,” he says. Sid gets very angry at this statement and with a very angry look, takes the award sternly and goes backstage without saying anything.

SEGMENT 9
We see Arn Anderson packing his things. Due to losing the belts, he will return to his original company, WCW, according to the deal. Tully Blanchard comes in and hugs him tightly and says goodbye. “I'm sure I'll be back,” Anderson says. Meanwhile, loud music comes from the street. Anderson and Blanchard look out of the dressing room window. Lawler and Steamboat had a farewell party on the street. Hundreds of people are having fun. Blanchard and Anderson duo get very angry and quickly head there.

SEGMENT 10
Announcing a match for next week: Owen Hart vs. Terry Mawashi – AWA International Television Title #1 Contendar Match

SEGMENT 11
Butch Reed (w/James Sandoval) defeated Jerry Lynn in 7:24 by pinfall with a Gorilla Press Slam
Before the match, Butch and Sandoval salute with long right fists. We see that black audiences give the same salute. Butch has good support throughout the match.

SEGMENT 12
Ken Patera defeated Nikita Koloff in 12:03 by submission with a Spinning Full Nelson
It's Patera's first match since returning to the AWA, the leader of the Rental Killers Inc. Ewers and Lindman were banned from ringside. Nikita Koloff receives great support from the audience throughout the match. However, with the arrival of Adnan Al-Kaissie, Nikita is distracted and the situation is completely reversed. In this way, Patera makes her opponent give up. After the match, Ajeeb, Saniko and Don Muraco are also coming. Just as they are about to attack Nikita, Fatu comes to the rescue. The United Nations of Terror is challenging Nikita and Fatu for next week.

SEGMENT 13
At the close of the show, the final category of the Gagne Awards finds its winner: Wrestler of the Year. AWA legend Nick Bockwinkel explains this award specifically: Rick Rude! Ventura has prepared a special platform for Rude, who was already known to win the award. The duo come here with Red Hook Machine and talk. With boos, Rude gives his speech. "So you're booing huh? You boo that person who carries this company on his back? So I'm not thanking you either. I just want to thank the womens who watch this show. You are each very beautiful. Each of you is in love with me. I'm not saying that's why it happened; because falling in love with Ravishing Rick is inevitable.”

AWA Taboo Hour

Wednesday, Week 1, January 1992

Manhattan Center @ New York City, NY

Announcers - Eric Bischoff and Nick Bockwinkel

Attendance - 791

Rating - 0.01
Show Grade - C (63)

SEGMENT 1

Butch Reed and James Sandoval are cutting a promo. They say they want to "play big" now. That means getting a chance for the AWA World Tag Team titles. So they openly challenge Lawler and Steamboat.

SEGMENT 2
James Sandoval (w/Butch Reed) defeated Perry Saturn in 5:21 by pinfall with a Missile Dropkick

SEGMENT 3
The NB Show – Guest: Nikita Koloff

Nikita, who has returned to the company in the past weeks, is a guest this week. Nikita proves the decay of the Soviet regime with his documents and talks about how positive the disintegration of the Soviet Union was. He also challenges the United Nations of Terror. He calls them "the last remaining Soviet remnants".

SEGMENT 4
The Wendigo (w/Tim Runnel) defeated Brad Anderson in 5:44 by pinfall with a Spivey Spike

SEGMENT 5

Rental Killers members Ed Ewers and Tom Lindman attacked Mr. Sandman at the backstage. But suddenly Brian Pillman comes to save him.

SEGMENT 6

Announcers share with us an incident that took place during the week. A familiar name was involved in a Brooklyn extortion: Red Hook Machine. While usurping an innocent person, another persons we know intervened in the incident: Baron von Raschke and Jackie Fulton! It went to the police station. However, thanks to some connections from Ventura, Red Hook got away with impunity.

SEGMENT 7
Dylan Dowboy (w/Miss Elizabeth and Dynamite Kid) defeated Jeff Jarrett in 8:37 by submission with a Super Lock

We learn that Dowboy and Sid will meet at the next Championship Wrestling show. The winner will be the number one contender for the AWA World Heavyweight Title.

Dickens Athletic Center @ Chicago, IL

Announcers - Rod Trongard, Frank Reed and Mr. T

Attendance - 2,000 *SOLD OUT*

Rating - 0.49
Show Grade - C (64)

SEGMENT 1
As announced in the past weeks, we are learning that this year's AWA Hall of Fame inductee will be announced. There is good preparation in the ring. With applause, Frank Reed announces the 1992 Hall of Fame participant: Wahoo McDaniel! Just as McDaniel, last year's AWA World champion, was about to give a speech, his speech was interrupted. Rude, Ventura, and Red Hook interrupt the ceremony. Then they start the attack. McDaniel gets beat up badly. The officers who come to the rescue are also beaten. Frank Reed returns to the announce table very angry. “They will pay for this behavior,” he says.

SEGMENT 2
AWA International Television Title #1 Contendarship Match | Owen Hart (w/Jackie Fargo) defeated Terry Mawashi (w/Paul Ellering) in 11:35 by submission with a Sharpshooter

Black Panthers Rising (Butch Reed and James Sandoval) defeated Baron von Raschke and Jackie Fulton in 6:58 when James Sandoval defeated Baron von Raschke by pinfall with a Rocket Launcher following interference from Red Hook Machine

SEGMENT 6
The NB Show – Guests: Ricky Steamboat and Jerry Lawler
This week's guests are the AWA World Tag Team champions. While Lawler talks about how successful they are, Lawler gets a little pissed off when Steamboat says that despite being team champions, he still has his mind on the AWA World title.

SEGMENT 7
Brian Pillman gives an interview. He says he doesn't see it as a coincidence that after a hiatus of more than a year, the formation of Rental Killers Inc, just as it was approaching the championship, returned with its new formation and attacked him. He would find the person or persons behind this formation. But he also states that he is sure that these people are Rude and Ventura.

SEGMENT 8
Nikita Koloff and Fatu defeated United Nations of Terror (Don Muraco and Saniko) (w/Adnan Al-Kaissie) in 7:41 when Nikita Koloff defeated Don Muraco by pinfall with a Russian Sickle
Saniko is unable to put on a good match when she hesitates to attack her brother Fatu. UNOT also loses this way. After the match, Adnan shouts angrily to Saniko. Most likely, he will receive a whipping penalty as a result of this defeat.

SEGMENT 9
Introducing the brand new member of Racket Club: Doug Furnas! Together with Terry Mawashi, they became AJPW All Asia Tag Team champions in Japan. Ellering is confident that they will experience similar success at AWA.

SEGMENT 10
Announcing a match for Gauntlet 7: Steamboat vs. Sandoval. If Sandoval wins, Black Panthers Rising will have a chance to win the AWA World Tag Team titles.

SEGMENT 11
AWA World Title #1 Contendarship Match | Dylan Dowboy (w/Miss Elizabeth and Dynamite Kid) drew with Sid in 13:02 when the match descended into chaos after Unorthodox Cirice got involved
Rude is inconclusive when Ventura and Red Hook interfere with the match. While Dowboy and Dynamite Kid are on the ground, they also want to attack Elizabeth. However, Sid, who comes to his senses, does not allow this and sends the bad guys out of the ring, devastated. Then he tries to pin Dowboy. However, the referee cannot count because he was beaten in this mess. Sid gets very angry and goes backstage with a powerbomb to Dowboy and the referee. Thus, no one can be contendar.

AWA Taboo Hour

Wednesday, Week 3, January 1992

Disney MGM Studios @ Orlando, FL

Announcers - Eric Bischoff and Nick Bockwinkel

Attendance - 908

Rating - 0.01

Show Grade - C (62)

The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) defeated Marcus Bagwell and Sean Morley in 6:49

Morton pinned Morley with a Double Dropkick. Morton and Gibson are back in the ring after a three-month hiatus.

Eddie Guerrero (w/Salazar Luuv) defeated Mr. Sandman in 8:03

Eddie pinned Sandman with a Frog Splash.

Rick Rude, Red Hook Machine and Dr. Painkiller defeated Mick Foley and The Pitbulls (Pitbull #1 and Pitbull #2) in 11:55

Rude pinned Foley with a Rude Awakening. By winning this match, Unorthodox Cirice team sent a message to their opponents in the six-man tag team match to be held this Saturday. (Dynamite Kid, Dylan Dowboy and Owen Hart)

SEGMENTS

o Baron von Raschke challenged Red Hook Machine to the Gauntlet 7 show this Saturday. However, since Red Hook will be in the Six-Man Tag match on the same night, it is left to his own initiative whether he participates in this match or not.
o Saniko, who lost the match to his team by not attacking his brother in the last Championship Wrestling show, was punished at UNOT Headquarters. The Iron Sheik personally delivered the punishment. Sheik used a method of torture often used on prisoners of war in the Gulf War. The torture moments were not broadcast on national television. We could only hear Saniko's screams.
o Eddie announced in a pre-match interview that he has not renewed his contract with NJPW and will now be in the AWA full-time. “I have some unfinished business here,” he said.
o We learn that Bart Sawyer is coming to AWA soon.
o At the close of the show, a panel video was screened, with Brian Pillman and Rental Killers leader Ken Patera bickering. As a result, we learn that the two will meet on the Gauntlet 7 show this Saturday.
