AWA # 17 : The Animal Unleashed
Freddy : AWA All Star Wrestling Saturday Morning . Bringing you the greatest stars from , Britain , Germany , Mexico , Canada and the United States . This is Freddy Miller and here is your host Gordon Solie .
Gordon : Thank you Freddy Miller , thank you to these fans here at the WGN Museum of Broadcasting Studios and ….. Mr . Cornette?
Cornette: Gordon , calm down I know you’re happy to see me and look here . My new body guard . Big Bubba no trouble . All week long I’ve gotten tweets and Facebook messages asking me when will we see the AWA Tag Team Champions in Chicago ?
Well , who am I to not give these shut ins what they want . Husbands at home , put your wife in the closet or send her into the kitchen . Lock up those teenage daughters . Ladies and gentlemen it is my pleasure to introduce to you your AWA Tag Team Champions . They are in nontitle action because we don’t have to defend the belts in Chicago . The team that should be featured at Saturday Night’s Main Event . The number one ranked tag team in the world . Beautiful Bobby and Loverboy Dennis The Midnight Express .
MXE vs The Mulkeys : Randy Mulkey falls victim to the Alabama Jam .
Gordon : Well an impressive win this week and now …..
Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson make their way out .
Cornette : Now wait a minute you two , no way . You two punks have had a title shot and you blew it . You’ve lost more times than the Buffalo Bills have lost Super Bowls and playoff games combined . We should start calling you Jim Kelly and Josh Allen .
Ricky Morton : So not a chance ?
Cornette : No sir . My mama is sick of you two .
Ricky : Well Jimmy , we are going to make an offer you can’t refuse . Anything you want to try and give us one more title shot right here in AWA territory and WGN .
Cornette : Anything ?
Ricky : Anything.
Cornette : Ok , you beat Big Bubba this week and you get your title shot next week . When you lose the only way you will get another AWA tag title shot is if the NWA , which I can’t do anything about gives us a time of when and where , but I can promise you this it won’t be in the AWA territory or even UWF . We are done with you .
Gibson : You’re on .
Cornette : Whoa hood up there dummy . Your midget loud mouth punk of a partner made this deal so it’s him and Bubba .
Ricky : Like Bobby just said . You’re on .
Karbo : Gordon , I know we had a highlight package of the NWA on NBC Dream Match and then interviews with Shawn Michaels , The Rock and HHH . We’ll push those back to the next segment . I’ll cancel the Denny Brown vs Mike Davis match . Both gentlemen will be paid . Let’s take a break and come back and have this match . Gibson , Cornette and Midnight Express are barred from ringside .
Cornette : What !! You can’t do this . I’m calling my mother’s lawyer and boy , you will be on trouble . I’ll own this Fed .
Gordon : A very aggravated Jim Cornette . We’ll be back . Wow !! What a match next !
Break
Ricky Morton vs Big Bubba Rogers : Before the match starts Cornette is seen giving Bubba one last pep talk . Morton decides to strike first . A suicide dive knocks Bubba right into Cornette and the two collide heads . Morton now rains down punches on the big man while he’s in the ground . Morton let’s off and gets in the ring . He waits Bubba starts to climb in and Morton from up top hits a leg drop , driving Bubba’s head into the ring apron and knocking him back down to the floor . The ref begins his count . Gordon points out now that Bubba is lacerated. Bubba just beats the 10 count and this time , when he gets in the ring , Ricky hits a drop toe hold and then a Sleeper while he’s on the mat .
Bubba is fighting to get to his feet , but to no avail . He does however find the sanctuary of the bottom rope . Bubba stumbles out of the ring for a breather , but Ricky isn’t letting up . A top turnbuckle Plauncha , but Bubba catches him and slams him back first into the ring post . Bubba with a chokeslam on the floor and then rolls his man in the ring . He pulls Ricky up and gets off a Spinning Sidewalk Slam and covers . He gets 1…….2……3 !!!
Freddy Miller : Fans the time of the fall 10 minutes and 46 seconds your winner , Big Bubba Rogers .
Cornett comes out and is dancing around like he win the Super Bowl by himself . He goes to the podium .
Cornette: Let that be a lesson Gordon Solie . My mother pays good money for the best and the baddest and from now on any losers from this stupid company want a shot , come to UWF , but don’t worry , I’ll bring the Midnight Express back next week so you fans can at least look at those AWA Tag Team Titles .

Sir, a big opportunity taking on Sting .
HBK : You know Gordon , you look at Sting you see a human highlight reel . The power , the size and speed . Diving out of the ring to clothesline a man . Pressing a man above his head and yes , he can mix it up with the best of them .
But he’s not the show stopper the Main Event . People flock to the arenas to see me . On Saturday the 29th we are going to see who the better man is and Stinger , when I kick your teeth down your throat , don’t take it personal . It’s just time old HBK got his against Randy Savage . Gordon , you look damn dapper today . This man is the best dressed play by play on the business folks and that’s coming from the Heart Break Kid .
He gives Gordon a slight guy hug and takes his leave .
Gordon : Well , I’ll certainly take the compliment. Right now , I want to bring in one of the men in the Royal Rumble Match up . The Rock .
HHH comes out at the same time .
HHH : First Shawn Michaels and now you’re trying to interview the Rock before me . The guy can’t get passed either of the Sheepherders who are tag team specialists. I’m the AWA Heavyweight Champion . I beat everyone you put in front of me . I should be wrestling Undertaker in every show .
Rock : HHH , know your roll and shut your mouth . You had your opportunity, now it’s time for the Rock to get his . The Rock is gonna throw you and 8 other jabronis over the top rope . Hell , the Rock might save you for last . As a matter of fact , the Rock has a gift for ya .
Rock flips him off and chants of Rocky echo through the studio . There is a intense stare down as we go to break .
Gordon : Welcome back and Wally Karbo has joined us once again . Mr . Karbo .
Karbo : Gordon , the Thursday before Saturday Night’s Main Event . We will be coming to you from a taped episode from Valparaiso University. It is called the road to Saturday Night . This event tapes this Monday and airs Thursday . It’s been sold out for two weeks . Our main event in that show will be HHH defending the AWA Heavyweight Title against The Rock !! There will be security surrounding the ring to make sure there is no outside interference.
Babydoll comes out
Babydoll : I’m sick of the disrespect. The Dynamic Dynasty is getting . Especially the AWA Heavyweight Champion . Today was supposed to be a big day for us . We had a huge announcement and an offer on the table that was signed already . You ruined everything . HHH was not set to wrestle The Rock at Road to Saturday Night . You can’t just toss him in a match . How dare you ? Just for that , we are revoking the HHH experience today .
Karbo : Oh no , not the HHH Experience. Gee how will we ever live ? That’s fine . We will now have Denny Miller vs Mike Davis next and our main event today Bret Hart defends the WGN Television Title . Get out of here . HHH Experience.
Gordon : ( smiling ) We’ll be back .
Break
Denny Miller vs Mike Davis : This is a good match between two underrated wrestlers . Davis wins at the 7:36 mark with a bridging German Suplex .
Gordon : A great match there . Every now and again it’s nice to see two men take it back to the basics as these two just did . Right now I want to bring in Tully Blanchard . You sir at The Road to Saturday Night have the task of taking on Eddie Guerrero.
Tully : That’s right Gordon , I told everyone I …….
Gordon drops the mic and gets out of the way . Batista comes out and clotheslines Tully in the back of the head . From there he picks up Tully and powerbombs him into the ring post . Babydoll comes out .
Babydoll : Ladies and Gentleman. The newest member of the Dynamic Dynasty, The Animal Dave Batista !!!! Looks like you won’t make it to Road to Saturday Night , Tully . ( She laughs an evil laugh and takes her leave with the Animal in tow )
Break
Nick Bockwinkle vs Mike Nelson : Bockwinkle puts on a clinic . He ends up submitting Nelson with a Step Over Standing Arm Bar .
Gordon : An impressive win this week from Nick Bockwinkle .
Bockwinkle : All I’m going to say Mr . Solie is that Mr . Michaels better not worry about Sting in front of him , because he needs to worry about me coming from behind .
Gordon : Fair enough . Brett Hart defends the WGN Television Title when we come back for our main event today .
Break
WGN Television Title Bret Hart vs Baron Von Rashke : Before the bell , Baron hops out of the ring and goes to the podium .
Baron : Gordon Solie , before this match began , I got an offer .
Gordon : Offer ?
Baron : Yes I got an offer today for $10, 000 to sell my contract . I accepted that offer and dat is all da people need to know . Hahaha .
Bret is shrugging his shoulders Babydoll walks out and Eddie Guerrero attacks Bret from behind !!!! Eddie stomps away on Bret and then rakes his foot over his face . He tosses Bret from the ring .
Babydoll : Gordon , we old you we had an accepted offer on the table . Here it is and Karbo can do nothing about it !!
Eddie goes to Suplex Bret back in and Bret slides under the ropes comes in from behind and gets off a back breaker . From there Bret comes off the second rope with a forearm to the head . Bret now with a bodyslam and then a step over Toe Hold into a STF . Eddie gets to the ropes for the break . Off the break Eddie grabs the trunks and hurls Bret into the turnbuckles. Belly to back Suplex by Eddie . He goes up for the Frog Splash , he misses . Bret gets to his feet , Sharpshooter !!! Babydoll tosses in a shoe to Eddie he grabs for it . The ref kicks it out of the ring and now goes over to admonish Babydoll , Batista comes in and clotheslines Brett behind the ref’s back and then a Demon Bomb !!! Batista takes his leave . Babydoll stops arguing . He turns to see Eddie come off the top rope with the Frog Splash !! Eddie covers and gets 1……2…..3 !!!
Gordon : It appears , although under somewhat controversial circumstances we have a new WGN Television Champion and yes referee Pee Wee Anderson has confirmed , Eddie Guerrero is the new WGN Television Champion . Yes that is indeed the case .
Babydoll goes to the podium with Eddie .
Babydoll : Stick it Karbo !!!
Gordon : For Freddy Miller , I’m Gordon Solie saying So long from the Windy City of Chicago!
