DALLAS SPORTATORIUM
MAY 1983
WEEK TWO - FRIDAY
Ole Anderson and Masked Superstar ended up in WWA. I'd kick up over the no compete in their contracts but being realistic, their best attendance all year was 126 people who saw Lawler beat Race. Then they wonder why they're in debt, but I've no interest in them. They're based in the Great Lakes.
In other news, Smothers did some training in the ring and I noticed he'd put on muscle mass. Will it mean he now has the ability to sell out Dallas?
ANNNNNNNNNYWAY...
CLUNE ARENA, COLORADO
MAY 1983
WEEK THREE - THURSDAY
Haru Sonoda, the Magic Dragon, came to see me and was almost overly polite when it came to asking for a raise. He makes $110 a shot. Gran Markus makes more than that! Hell, Al Madril makes more than that right now (but he's on borrowed time). He asked for $60 a shot more which, given he's in the top 25% of my performers in the ring, he can have and I just hope he doesn't work out how to convert the dollar to the yen right now.

WCCW WORLD CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING #19 - BOOKING SHEET
PROMO: CAN'T KEEP ME DOWN
I came out with Dad, who's insisting on managing us alll, and let the fans and the Freebirds know what I'm back and next week I'll be able to remind everyone just what I can do and show them a finisher as deadly as the Iron Claw.
Rating: 78
BANDITOS CASAS d. AL MADRIL & BRAD ARMSTRONG
Madril better hope he can find some chemistry with a tag-partner because that's the best use I can find for him. I'm keen to push Banditos based on Negro Casas and Brad Armstrong would be a good babyface in a team. La Casita from Negro Casas on Madril ended this.
Rating:42
COCOA SAMOA d. SHINICHI NAKANO
Nakano was bad, I mean really bad. Cocoa Samoa did what he could but he's not a miracle worker. The Tropic Thunder member hit his piledriver for victory.
Rating: 44
MAGIC DRAGON d. BRIAN BLAIR
This was a lot better than I expected because Blair really stepped up. Blair might get a slightt push off the back of this but Magic Dragon caught him in the Rolling Sleeper tonight.
Rating: 59
PROMO: I'LL RUN THROUGH YOU, TITO
By the numbers promo. Hansen had his bullrope in his hand as he told Santana that he broke Bruno's neck and Tito ain't no Sammartino.
Rating: 67
CHECKMATE, BILL IRWIN, AND THE SPOILER d. JOSE LOTHARIO, JUMBU TSURUTA, BRIAN ADIAS
We pushed it a little with this match but a six-man isn't going to kill off the feuds and neither Adias nor Lothario had stood out enough that the loss was devastating to my plans. The Spoiler got a quick roll-up with his feet on the ropes to keep Jumbo down for the three-count.
Rating: 63
STAN HANSEN & KING KONG BUNDY d. DUTCH MANTELL & TITO SANTANA
Sorry, Dutch, but your feud is less important than Hansen and Bundy getting over in theirs. Good performances all-round but an Avalanche from Bundy on Mantell ended it.
Rating: 69
PROMO: THESE HANDS OF MINE
We showed a video of Ron Garvin hitting the heavy bag. His dubbed voice promised Dragon that he'd find out what the heavy bag was feeling soon enough.
Rating: 69
KERRY & DAVID VON ERICH d. JIMMY GARVIN & THE GREAT KABUKI
WHAT. A. MATCH! Everyone was at their best tonight and I hate to say it but Dad did make a difference out there to the match. David put in an inhumanly good performance! Kerry locked the Iron Claw on Kabuki to send the fans home happy.
