*Randy Rose/Norvell Austin defeat Steve Olsonoski/Sweet Brown Sugar. Sugar and the returning Steve O exhibit a special chemistry here. They could be a force down the road. Tonight, though, belongs to the Midnight Express. Sugar has Rose up for a vertical suplex when another wrestler comes to ringside. He pulls out the leg of the masked man. Rose comes down hard and hooks the tights. He scores the pin @ 12:39. (M)
 
Knowledgeable fans recognize the wrestler as Hustler Rip Rogers. The third member of The Midnights has arrived.
 
*Powerhouse Nick Busick vs. ???? w/Sir Oliver Humperdink
Humperdink says that he is pursuing legal avenues concerning the Dream Machine. He says, tonight, though, the HOH has hired a free agent. Ray Candy slams Busick from behind. Busick is thrown into the corner by the hit. His right hand gets smashed on a turnbuckle. Later, after a rally, Busick tries a heart punch. He draws the hand back in pain. Candy is a little woozy but hits a powerslam for the win @ 10:47. (P)

Georgia Heavyweight Title
*Dick Slater © vs. Roddy Piper
Piper pulls an object out of his boot late here. He clobbers Slater in the head on a suplex attempt. Slater goes down. Piper gets what he thinks is a belt changing cover @ 17:49. GCW Chairman George Scott, who has been at ringside for this card, talks with McGowan and the referee reverses the decision. Piper shoves the official and gets a retaliatory punch from Scott, who has entered the ring.
 
Piper rolls out of the ring, giving the boss of GCW a killer look.

Nice double shot of shows.
 
Good to see Rip Rogers already making an impact there too.  
 
Slater and Piper could headline shows all over the country for a long time to come, and you're lucky to be able to put that on your posters and draw in the fans.

I getting way behind, this covers your last 3 or 4 GCW House show...
 
Brisco vs Anderson feud is a highlight.  Good use of Wahoo vs. Graham in the bounty story.  Great seeing Wrestling II / Sawyer resurface.  Hump keeps plotting away as a regular source of intrigue.
 
I like the dynamic s of GCW house showa, I'm ALMOST frustrated by the pacing of the headliners, but you utilize the rest of the roster well in the opening matches.  A few random-feeling teams, pretty well everyone gets a win now & again.  I do get hopeful a fellow now & then breaks out from this level to higher on the card.  I mark for the noted blackballed Canadian Communist painter George so I'm rooting for YURI!
 
Reliable quality from Peach - land.
