AWA-CWA
9/14/77 from the Nashville Civic Auditorium, Nashville, TN
 
1)      Steve Regal and Butch Malone wrestle to a 15-minute time limit draw with both men working hard to gain an advantage, but nothing to show for it.
 
2)      The Medics defeat “Mr. Ebony” Tom Jones and George Welles after the Medics pull a switch with the official’s back turned and Medic #1 rolling up the inexperienced Welles for the victory.
 
3)      Dutch Mantell defeats Steve Lawler by disqualification after the wild haired stalker once again tracks down the Dutchman with the help of the Miser. Lawler bails out rather than face the fury of this savage, but Mantell can’t keep from being beaten down by the masked man and his thug.
 
4)      “Superstar” Bill Dundee defeats Black Angus Campbell with the Bomb’s Away. Campbell is able to throw the smaller man around, but Dundee takes advantage of a mistake to level the Scot and get the 1-2-3.
 
5)      Sugar Bear Harris and the Scottish Giant brawl their way to a double count out in their body slam match. Both Tojo Yamamoto and Lord John Raven urged their charges on, but neither monster could be moved.  
 
6)      NACW North American Tag Team Champions Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco defeat Jackie Fargo and Tommy Gilbert after Rocco is able to connect with a diving head butt on Gilbert and make the pin with his feet on the ropes for extra leverage.
 
7)      Jerry “the King” Lawler defeats Pat Roach with a second rope fist drop. Lawler seems to have made a statement about who is the top challenger for the Southern Heavyweight Title.
 
8)      AWA Southern Tag Team Champions Dennis Condrey and Phil Hickerson defeat Tommy Rich and Ricky Fields in a rematch from the Liberty Bowl. Tommy and Ricky seemed to not be in synch and it cost them.

 
AWA Championship Wrestling from Memphis
Recorded and Broadcast 9/15/77 for further syndication.
 
Lance Russell and Dave Brown welcome the audience to a big card of action and mention that it all points to the Mid-South Coliseum show Monday night where the World Tag Team Champions are in town. The TV main event will be a huge tag team contest with the winners to face the champs Monday night. AWA Southern Tag Team champions Dennis Condrey and Phil Hickerson will do battle with North American Tag Team Champions Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco of the BBC. They also mention that we will finally hear from the Miser and the man we assume in the unmasked Spider, both of whom had been on a rampage here in the CWA. All of this right after the break.
 
The opening contest of the broadcast sees newcomer Steve Regal wrestle a solid technical match against Big Bill Howard. Regal takes down the big man with a textbook abdominal stretch. After the match, Regal credits his father-in-law, Wilbur Snyder, with teaching him the wrestling game and hopes to help keep the family tradition going.
 
After a commercial break, the Lawlers come to the ring and the King formally introduces his brother Steve Lawler to the fans of the CWA. Jerry, still bandaged from his violent matches with the Sheik, says that while he is the AWA’s recognized top contender for the World Heavyweight Title, Steve will be stepping in and taking on some of the lesser talents that always want to show up against the King of Wrestling, starting here today on TV. Lance presses and finally gets from Jerry that he will be taking on Ron Garvin once again, but at a time he chooses. Steve Lawler than goes to the ring and mauls the masked Spoiler, finishing him off with a fist drop off the second rope and a full nelson for the submission victory.
 
Bill Dundee comes out next and he and Professor Bill Ash have another in their running series of outstanding matches, only to be limited by the television time limit. Ash makes the mistake at the end and it allows Dundee to deliver a big Bomb’s Away to get he victory. After the match, Dundee tells the fans that the AWA President Eddie Einhorn has seen the film of the World Junior Heavyweight title match from the Liberty Bowl and has ordered that Roddy Piper face him for a rematch this Monday night in the Mid-South Coliseum. Dundee says that he was robbed once and it won’t happen again. Lance says there is videotape from the Champ and it will be up next.
 
After the commercial break, we hear from world Junior Heavyweight Champion Roddy Piper in a video message. He’s standing in front of the WWA’s logo and tells the fans that after he beat the vanilla midget in the Liberty Bowl, he was handed the title after an AWA official counted 1-2-3. He shouldn’t be punished because the boys in Memphis hire blind officials, but now he has to take on the wee Kiwi one more time. Piper says it will happen once more and that will be Dundee’s last shot until he proves himself to be a real big man in the sport.
 
After hearing from Piper, Tojo Yamamoto comes to the ring with a new charge in tow dressed solely in a black mask and black ring gear. This mystery man just runs over Bobby Jones, finishing him off with a big sleeper hold. Yamamoto san and his masked man join Lance to reveal that Yamamoto has replaced the failure that is Outlaw Ron Bass with a man who will watch the back of Sugar Bear Harris, a master on the mat, the Professional. The Professional then told the audience that any man wanting to get to the Bear better by ready to go through him.
 
After the commercial break, Lance is joined by the Miser for commentary as his new wild man comes to the ring and simply demolishes former San Francisco 49er George Welles with a powerful running double axe handle and a flying elbow drop to secure the 1-2-3. This wild man then joins the Miser and Lance asks the question that he and others have been asking for weeks: who is he? The wild man says his name is Randy, Randy Savage. The Miser then promises that Dutch Mantell will no nothing but pain and the brutality of this man in the ring because by stripping off the mask of the Spider, he has released a true savage. Randy ends the interview with the exclamation, “Oh Yeah!”
 
Main Event time arrives and it is champions verses champions with a shot at the World champions on the line. The Miser and Savage stay at ringside to support the Southern Tag Team Champions Dennis Condrey and Phil Hickerson against the BBC duo of Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco, who with Lord John Raven toting their North American Tag titles, barely wait for the bell before they attack. The shock of the attack has the Southern Tag Team champions on the ropes and even the presence of Savage on the outside is only able to tilt things back to balance. Condrey and Rocco seem to carry the match until Dennis is able to drive Marc into the corner and then Hickerson starts pounding away with his big brawling style against the smaller man. Phil makes the cover after he delivers a big brain buster on Rocco and made the cover. As he covers, from the back charges Dutch Mantell and he starts to gain some revenge on Randy Savage by drilling him with his bullwhip and whipping him, pulling the attention of the in ring official. This allows the BBC to get an advantage with Lord Raven throwing powder into the eyes of Hickerson. As Phil gets up and starts staggering around, Rocco is able to make a desperate tag to Breaks. Jim delivers a nice dropkick to a still blinded Hickerson and he then locks on his patented inverted hammerlock to get a submission win and another shot at the World Tag Team titles.  
 
Lance and Davy use the few moments left to remind fans to see the action live in Jackson, Louisville, Nashville, Jonesboro, and in the Mid-South Coliseum Monday night.  
 
 
AWA-CWA
9/15/77 from the Boys’ and Girls’ Club in Jackson, TN
 
1)      Steve Regal and Ricky Fields defeat the Medics with a big double drop kick on Medic #1 before Regal locks on an abdominal stretch to get the win.
 
2)      Steve Lawler defeats “Mr. Ebony” Tom Jones with big second rope fist drop.  
 
3)      Black Angus Campbell defeats newcomer Derek Draper with a big gut wrench suplex. Draper looked good, but wasn’t prepared for one of the CWA’s top talents
 
4)      Randy Savage defeats Don Ross with a flying elbow drop. After the match, Dutch Mantell attacks Savage, again whipping him like a rented mule.
 
5)      Tommy Gilbert and Jackie Fargo defeat the Scottish Giant and Pat Roach by disqualification after Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco attack Gilbert and Fargo from behind, bloodying both of them.
 
6)      Tommy Rich defeats “Professor” Bill Ash with a spinning toehold after a very strong contest.
 
7)      Ron Garvin defeats former top California wrestler Paul DeMarco with a big sunset flip to retain the AWA Southern Heavyweight title. DeMarco looked like he was ready for action but was no match for the champion.
 
 
AWA-CWA
9/17/77 from the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, TN
 
1)      Derek Draper defeats Big Bill Howard with a cobra hold.
 
2)      Randy Savage defeats Don Ross by disqualification after Dutch Mantell attacked Savage and his manager with his bullwhip Shoo Baby on the outside.  
 
3)      Bobby Jaggers and Tito Montez defeat “Mr. Ebony” Tom Jones and George Welles in a very technical match up to secure the top contender’s spot for the AWA Southern Tag Team Titles.
 
4)      Sugar Bear Harris and the Scottish Giant brawl once again to a double count out. Both men hit each other with a running clothesline and both men went down. Neither man however was able to get to their feet in time to beat the ten count and the match was ruled a draw. Neither Lord Raven nor Yamamoto san appeared happy with the results of the match.
 
5)      AWA Southern Tag Team Champions Dennis Condrey and Phil Hickerson thrash the veteran duo of Tommy Gilbert and Jackie Fargo in a match for the Southern Tag Titles. It is obvious that Gilbert and Fargo are still feeling the effects of the beating delivered to them by the whole BBC on Saturday night.  
 
6)      Jerry “the King” Lawler defeats Kelly Kiniski with a second rope fist drop after a very hard fought match. Kiniski looked ready to shock the crowd in the MSC when he delivered the Canadian back breaker to the King, but Steve Lawler hopped up onto the ring apron and distracted the official long enough for Kelly to break up his pin just to knock the younger Lawler off the ring apron. Jerry then loaded up his fist with what appeared to be some kind of foreign object, decking Kelly with the first punch. The fist drop was only icing on the cake. After the match, both Lawlers get into a confrontation with one of the major men in the next match.
 
7)      European champion Pat Roach fails in what was called his final attempt to take the AWA Southern Heavyweight Title from Ronnie Garvin after Garvin gets the submission victory with a figure four leglock. It almost looked to the audience in the MSC that Garvin wouldn’t make it to the ring after a verbal confrontation began between him and the Lawler brothers. Roach took advantage of the early mental distraction and almost stole the title, but he missed a big knee drop off the top rope. This was the opening for the champion and he weakened the joints further by stomping away at each point: ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The weakened Roach couldn’t fight off the submission hold after that assault.
 
8)      The World Tag Team Champions, the Love Brothers, return to the CWA and make their Memphis debut with the bruised Jackie Fargo as their second to face of with one of the top tag teams in the AWA today, the BBC tandem of Jim Breaks and Marc Rocco. In this hard fought contest, it finally comes down to Jackie Fargo holding the boot of Marc Rocco as Hartford Love makes the pin, keeping the belts for the Love Brothers and giving Fargo a hint of revenge against the BBC.
 
9)      In the main event, “Superstar” Bill Dundee defeats the AWA Junior Heavyweight Champion Roddy Piper in a best of three falls match 2 falls to 1. The first fall goes to Piper as he is able to lock a sleeper hold on the Superstar for the submission at 12:20. After the minute rest period, Piper again tries the sleeper, but Bill rams him into the corner and the second fall doesn’t come until almost the 35-minute mark as Dundee is able to drop Piper with a big drop kick and finish him off with the Bomb’s Away. Now tied at one fall each, the last 10 minutes was a war that the Kiwi seemed to have the advantage in against the Scotsman. Both men came close for pins, but in the end it was Piper who finally lost his temper. After repeated lefts and rights to the head of Dundee, who by now was busted open, Roddy delivered a haymaker that dropped the plucky Kiwi. The champ made a cocky cover and Dundee somehow kicked out. A more true cover and again Bill kicked out. The third time, even hooking the leg sees Dundee kick out with more authority. Piper obviously has had enough. He pulls Bill to his feet and drops him with a pile driver right in front of the official, earning himself an automatic disqualification. Dundee won the falls, but the title can’t change hands on a disqualification

I have always held the team of Hickerson/ Condrey in high regard. Love the continued push here.
 
Welles looks to be on the downslide in CWA.
 
Garvin is certainly bringing honor to his belt.
 
Tommy Rich is going to get a well-deserved push here.
 
Loving CWA action.
