 Continental Wrestling Association Monday, February 3, 1985 Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis, TN 1) Billy Joe Travis defeated ”Hotstuff” Eddie Gilbert (w/ Jimmy Hart & Big Bubb Rogers) at 9:34 by DQ when Travis alerted the referee to Gilbert with a chain in his hand. Gilbert and Hart were stunned by another upset from Billy Travis. 2) Buck Zumhofe pinned Stomper Jr/ at 7:00 when he came off the ropes with a running dropkick. 3) Sweet Sensation (Stan Lane & Shawn Michaels) defeated The Dream Machine & The Canadian Spoiler at 7:55 when Stan Lane pinned The Canadian Spoiler after a double super kick with Shawn Michaels. 4) The Dirty White Boy pinned Dutch Mantell at 10:39 with the Bucksnort Blaster. The White Boy decked Mantell with Shoo Baby while the referee was down and then stole a win over The Dutchman. INTERMISSION 5) The First Family: Rick Rude & Adrian Adonis (w/ Jimmy Hart & Big Bubba Rogers) Southern Tag Team Champions The Rock n’ Roll Express: Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson at 23:34 by count-out when Morton couldn’t get back to the ring to beat the count. The finish saw Rude suplex Morton on the concrete floor, and Morton could not get back to the ring in under a count of ten. 6) ”Wildfire” Tommy Rich & ”Superstar” Bill Dundee defeated CWA Heavyweight Champion Jake “The Snake” Roberts & ”Exotic” Adrian Street (w/ Miss Linda) at 15:01 when Tommy Rich connected with the Lou Thesz Press to get the pin on Adrian Street, while Bill Dundee was working over Jake Roberts on the floor. 7) Southern Heavyweight Champion One Man Gang (w/ Adrian Street & Miss Linda) pinned Mongolian Stomper (w/ Stomper Jr.) at 12:44 when he connected with the 747 splash.

Some surprises here for me. I believe the Travis kid just sealed his own coffin, Eddie Gilbert will have his head on a platter before long. Nice debut for the Sensations as well. Morton knew he couldn't hide and get a draw, so what's he do? He takes a countout loss and once again robs the best tag team in Memphis of what they richly deserve, the Southern Tag Team Titles. If Championship Wrestling has any sense they will force the RnR's into a steel cage match with no time limit so all of their games are done! Big win for Wildfire and the Superstar, hopefully we will see a couple Tommy Rich/Jake Roberts matches.

Not a member at this board in either league, but since joining, this is the 1 place that has had me coming back consistently with the booking for a 1985 fix. Figured I would leave feedback here this week for it as long as I had some free time.
I like the pairing of Lane and Michaels as a tag team coming out of the TV. The double superkick would be a great finisher for the pair and Lane provides a great mentor for Michaels at this point in his career. Good to see them pick up the victory, over a team with the Dream Machine none the less.
Dutch Mantel and The Dirty White Boy has had the makings of a great southern feud. Thought Dutch might grab the win to finish this feud after Anthony cost him the match on TV, but Anthony steals it to give him another loss. With a finish like that, hopefully this feud keeps going as it has some great legs so far stemming from that failed team up weeks ago.
I will agree with the above in so much that Rick Rude and Adrian Adonis are a great team and I would like to see them get the belts. After the draws, and now this count out win, hopefully they get a match more favorable to a deciding finish next time.
Rich picking up the pin fall would seem to hint towards a possible title match with Jake, especially having already pinned Street a few weeks back at the Mid South Coliseum already. Hopefully we will get to see that as he has been on a roll after coming so close against One Man Gang last Monday in the tournament finals. Whether Roberts or OMG, he deserves a title match of some sort here.
Main event would be a hell of a brawl. Stomper could always go and get a little something extra out of the big men I would find, just as a tough SOB. Nothing comes of Stomper Jr at ringside, but you have my interest with that storyline. Not sure where it goes, but it definitely has a very Memphis feel to it.
Another great show.

Liked the show. The Stomper was no match for the younger Gang. It will take quite an effort to take the title from the man from Halsted Street. This might be the beginning of the end for the Rock and Rolls. I don't think the can beat Rude and Adonis. Good to see Zumhofe land on his feet in Memphis.

Travis is going up quick. I think Eddie may be sending him back down, though. Great win by Sweet Sensation. An angry Dutch coming back against DWB is money. I think that hurting Stomper's nephew may come back to bite OMG. Upset win by Rich and Dundee.
