Saturday, Week 3, January 1992 St. Louis Arena @ St. Louis, MO
Announcers - Rod Trongard, Frank Reed and Mr. T Attendance - 13,798 Buy Rate - 0.45 Show Grade - C (62) El Tiradores (Eddie Guerrero and Salazar Luuv) defeated The Pitbulls in 9:25
Eddie pinned Pitbull #1 with ¡Termina el trabajo!
Baron von Raschke defeated Red Hook Machine (w/Jesse Ventura) in 8:24 by count out
In an interview before the match, von Raschke said he didn't think Red Hook would come to the match because he was a coward, just an idiot hiding behind Ventura and preoccupying the US judiciary. He came when he was not expected to come to the match. When the match took even longer than expected, at Ventura's directive, Red Hook left the match. However, von Raschke did not let his opponent escape and attacked him and began beating him in the ring. Rick Rude came to the rescue and he and Ventura attacked von Raschke. Sid unexpectedly came to the rescue and made a face turn, saving von Raschke.
AWA International Television Championship | Saniko (c) defeated Mr. Sandman in 7:05
Saniko pinned Mr. Sandman with Samoan Drop. Saniko is unable to stand up because of the torture he was subjected to at the UNOT headquarters a few days ago. The traces of torture on his back are evident. But despite this, his brother Fatu distracts Sandman and helps him keep the belt.
James Sandoval defeated Ricky Steamboat in 12:19 by disqualification
The referee disqualified Steamboat when Sandoval threw the brass knuckle he took from outside the ring during the match, pretending to be hit by Steamboat and throwing it into the ring. Thus, Black Panthers Rising became the number one contendar for the AWA World Tag Team belt.
Ken Patera (w/Ed Ewers and Tom Lindman) defeated Brian Pillman in 6:33
Patera pinned Pillman with Spinning Full Nelson. Being incredibly angry, Pillman attacked both Patera and Ewers and Lindman outside the ring at the start of the match and took control. However, Patera still defeated his opponent with help from outside the ring.
Dynamite Kid, Dylan Dowboy and Nikita Koloff defeated Rick Rude, Red Hook Machine and Dr. Painkiller in 18:53
Dynamite Kid pinned Rude with Diving Headbutt. The surprise third member Nikita Koloff, who was announced at the time of the match, created great excitement. After the match, the good guys celebrated the win in the ring.
NOTES o At the opening of the show, it was announced that Owen Hart was attacked in his locker room by an unknown person and will not be playing for today. Dynamite Kid and Dowboy said they had identified their third teammate soon after, but they wouldn't reveal it until match time so he wouldn't be attacked as well.
o After the match, Ventura scolds Red Hook in the locker room for playing von Raschke.
o After the match, Saniko fainted due to the torture he was subjected to. Paramedics immediately intervened and he was taken to the hospital. During this whole process, Fatu helped him along with his brother.
o In an interview, Fargo hated him, claiming that Ventura and his men were involved in Owen's attack: "Owen's rise will continue despite all this!"

o Red Hook came into the ring and immediately challenged Fulton for tonight. Unexpectedly, Fulton rushed into the ring and the match began.
o Sid, the new face guy, was a guest on The NB Show. Sid was furious when Bockwinkel initially seemed to criticize Sid for being the nice guy. He said that he is still on his own and will take care of things himself. The "Titan of the Titans" period of his career has begun. He was going to recapture the AWA title he had won and lost a year ago.
QUICK NEWS
o Signed Bart Sawyer and Leif Cassidy (Al Snow)
o Extended deal with Nick Bockwinkel, Jesse Ventura and Chris Benoit
o Contract extension negotiations started with SportsChannel America for the AWA Taboo Hour show. There is a possibility that the contract will not be renewed due to low ratings.

AWA Championship Wrestling Monday, Week 1, February 1992
Announcers - Rod Trongard, Frank Reed and Mr. T Attendance - 2,000 *SOLD OUT* Rating - 0.45 Show Grade - C (63) Dr. Painkiller defeated Mr. Sandman in 7:13

Sid defeated Ken Patera (w/Ed Ewers and Tom Lindman) in 11:02
Sid pinned Patera with Powerbomb. Pillman distracted Patera, causing his to lose the match.
NOTES o At the opening of the show, it was announced that the Black Panthers Rising's right of contendar was revoked. But at the Canadian Grand Prix show, another contendarship match was set for BPR: This time, Butch Reed against Jerry Lawler.
o It has been announced that AWA will be in Canada next week. A four-way match is scheduled for next week: Terry Mawashi vs. Dr. Painkiller vs. Owen Hart vs. Mr. Sandman. The winner will face Saniko for the AWA International Television title at the Canadian Grand Prix.
o Ventura filed a complaint against von Raschke and Fulton over the incident in Brooklyn in the past months. In particular, Fulton will be held in pre-trial detention, as he will see a great sanction.
o On the occasion of African American History month, the Black Panthers Rising read handouts with their right hands in the air. Butch said the AWA violated their human rights by revoking their contendar rights. However, they said they would eventually defeat this discriminatory mentality by seizing the tag team titles.
o Dowboy was attacked in the locker room. It is unknown who did it.
o At the show's closing, it was learned, shockingly, that Dowboy would not be appearing at the Canadian Grand Prix. Instead, the Dynamite Kid was quickly added to the match. So the main event was revealed: Rude vs. Dynamite Kid - AWA World Heavyweight Championship

Wow, that note on Black Panthers Rising is incredible. That is an awesome angle that I know would get some great heat. Thanks lot! I was also excited while writing it. Thanks to Black Panthers Rising, young talent Booker T's (James Sandoval) momentum increased even more. I must have missed an earlier explanation for this but Why do you rename some of your talent? Frankly, it feels more like a realistic diary when I rename young talents like this. I like creating AWA-specific gimmicks for talents. |

AWA-Specific gimmicks? I don't think AWA did gimmicks. Verne Gagne like all the old school promoters at the time hated the character based wrestling that wwe was based on and perfered his wrestlers to be realistic and specialized in a technical substance over style type like early roh. The only time they tried anything gimmicky was the team challenge series and that failed miserably. And younger talent? Some of them Maybe but guys like Terry Gordy and Chris adams were around 10 year veterans at the time And were also mainstays of fritz von Erich's WCCW and Terry actually did some work in AWA for a few years with the freebirds like on the superclashes. And why have booker t on your roster without his brother Stevie ray? Harlem Heat/ebony experience would be big players in your tag division.

When I say young talent, I'm not talking about Gordy and Adams. There are younger talents on Roster. (Eddie, Taz, Mabel, Saturn, Booker T, Al Snow) Yes, I brought Booker T into the company without his brother. Because I ask, "How would something different be?" I don't want to do predictable things. Stevie Ray will join the roster of course. But I want to do this gradually and fit into the storyline that's going on right now. |
