Valentine's Day Massacre (1980)

## Background

**Valentine's Day Massacre** was Wrestle World's second PPV event.  The main storylines going into the event were the tournament to crown the first Ladies Champion, Jet Set Strutter's continual dodging of rival Average Guy, and Strutter's scheduled defense of his World Championship against Memphis Prince.

## Matches

The event opened with a rare heel vs. heel match as Queen of Mean defeated Countess.

Next up, Tag Team Champions The Blade Blasters (Buzzsaw and Lazer) defended their title against number one contenders the American Heroes (Dangerzone and Warhawk). The match eventually ended up with all competitors fighting at ringside resulting in a double count-out, meaning the Blade Blasters retained the title.

The next bout was Average Guy vs. Dr. B to determine the number one contender to Jet Set Strutter's World Championship. Strutter had been dodging title defenses against Guy, but by beating Dr. B with the Average Elbow, Guy finally secured himself a title match.

Up next was an unadvertised match between Michael T. Wolf and Skullgore, Wolf's first defense of his Cruiserweight Championship. This was also Skullgore's Wrestle World debut. Using his Crossbone Body Block finisher, Skullgore was able to claim victory and the title.

After that match, Valedictorian gave a well-received promo in the ring in which he put over his high-flying skills.

The next match was the three-way tournament final to determine the inaugural Ladies Champion.  After a grueling bout that saw all three competitors gain the advantage at various points, Aurora defeated Lyndi Harker and Princess Starbright to win the title.

In the night's main event, World Champion Jet Set Strutter successfully defended his belt against Memphis Prince.

## Reception

Valentine's Day Massacre was another three-star event for Wrestle World. Notably, the main event, despite being for the World Title and featuring two huge stars in Jet Set Strutter and Memphis Prince, was rated a single star. Though the event's overall star rating was middling, it scored a massive 19.65 TV rating, the highest rating WW had received by far to this point and the second-highest of any wrestling company. It also drew WW's largest crowd to date, selling out all 25,000 of the Canada Centre's seats.
Superstar Saturday (July 1980)

## Matches

In the first segment of the night, Average Guy, who had lost a barbed wire rematch against Mad Abner at Beach Brawl, appeared in the studio to challenge Mad Abner to a “rubber match” to end their feud once and for all.  Abner then appeared as well and accepted the challenge, but only on the condition that it be fought under death match rules. Guy accepted those conditions, and the match was announced for the upcoming Red White & Blue Bash.

In the next segment, brothers Damon Van Winkle and Tag Team Champion Devin Van Winkle were set to make an appearance. They were scheduled to discuss Devin and Terry Van Winkle’s Tag Team Title win at Beach Brawl and explain the injury Terry had suffered when they were ambushed by three men (later identified as the tag team The Ramblin’ Men: Sexy Rebel, Raunch Robbins, and Jordy Hoss). Devin suffered a busted knee and Damon suffered a busted wrist. This resulted in all three Van Winkle brothers being on the injured list.

In the opening match of the night, Chet Skye of the Neon Express defeated Lil Thuggee of Rebellion. Thuggee suffered wrist injury during this match that would keep him out of action for eight weeks.

Next up, Valedictorian made his first in-ring appearance since February with a win over fan favorite Hardhat Bud Duncan using the Savage Elbow.

In the next bout, Chameleon Kid defeated Pepe Beret after a Chameleon-Plex.

In the night’s main event, Cruiserweight Champion Star Boy successfully defended his title against rival The Piranha after a Flying Cross Chop. The Piranha suffered an ankle injury during this bout.

## Reception

This match received a 13.55 TV rating, putting it in second place behind RnR. It received a lower-than-usual 2-star rating.

The event was noted as being one of the most disastrous in Wrestle World history in terms of injuries, as four wrestlers suffered injuries during the night.

Females

**Females** (雌, *Jōyō*), are the biological term used throughout the many worlds, and beyond. They are a gender identity within the binary genders. **Women** (女, *Onna*) is a term used for adults and corresponds to the term's girl (for children and adolescents), female (adjective) and femininity.

"*.*"

—About Females.

## Overview

### Anatomy and Design

Children born with vulvas are often raised with the expectation that they will identify as women, although intersex children may also be assigned to this identity while not possessing all of the above characteristics. Women may be cisgender (assigned female at birth and identifying as female) or transgender (assigned male at birth yet identifying as female).

Identifying as a woman is often associated with female sex characteristics such as a vagina, a uterus, wide hips, breasts and a high-pitched voice, as well as a feminine gender expression and gender role, but these are not neccessary, and it is still possible to identify as a woman without them.

Superstar Saturday (April 1980)

## Background

This edition of Superstar Saturday featured the fall-out from the previous PPV, Shamrock Skirmish. At that event, Jet Set Strutter was forced to finally defend his World Title against Average Guy, but the match ended in a time limit draw, resulting in Strutter’s retaining the belt. Also at that PPV (and followed up on at this show), Michael T. Wolf failed to win the Cruiserweight Championship due to being disqualified after using vicious illegal attacks on Skullgore, and Memphis Prince captured the Television Championship by defeating The Piranha.

## Matches

At the beginning of the show, Honest Al interviewed World Champion Jet Set Strutter, who gloated that Average Guy was “unable to get the job done” at Shamrock Skirmish. Guy appeared and pointed out that he’s the only one of Strutter’s challengers he hasn’t defeated and that he took him to the limit in their match. He challenged Strutter to a rematch for the title with no time limit, but Strutter refused and stated that he will never grant another title match to Guy.

Next, a montage of clips showing Michael T. Wolf training was shown. During the montage, Wolf vowed to regain the Cruiserweight Championship and to control his “inner wolf,” a reference to his disqualification loss to Cruiserweight Champion Skullgore at Shamrock Skirmish.

In the first match of the night, Wall Street heel Yuppie VP defeated Jobber Joe to mark Joe’s seventh straight loss. It was a pyrrhic victory for VP, however, as he suffered a nose injury during the bout that would sideline him for three weeks.

Next, boxer turned wrestler Max Power took on Indian fighter Mystic Maan. Max managed to take down the mysterious wrestler with a combo that ended with a double uppercut.

After that match, Sudanese heel Mad Abner took on all-American fan favorite Hardhat Bud Duncan, defeating Duncan with his patented Fat Camel Clutch.

In the next bout, Exotic Rick made his Wrestle World in-ring debut by wrestling veteran Gepetto Rocco with the Exotic Awakening.

In the main event, newly-crowned Television Champion Memphis Prince successfully defended his title against Mallet Allen via a piledriver.

## Reception

This event garnered Wrestle World’s lowest TV rating to date, an 8.17, which placed it in last place for the week behind RnR and ABCW. Conversely, ABCW’s show gained its highest rating ever with a 10.11.

Attendance-wise, this edition of Superstar Saturday managed to sell out all 2,000 seats available in the TV Studio.

Big Thuggee

Big Thuggee in 1980.

**Big Thuggee** is an Indian professional wrestling. He is one-half of the tag team The Pain Dealers with Lil Thuggee, and both are also members of the Indian faction Rebellion.

## Career

### Feud with The Blade Blasters

The Pain Dealers (Big Thuggee and Lil Thuggee) debuted in the first-ever Wrestle World match, a tag team bout against The Blade Blasters that ended in a time-limit draw. They later faced The Blade Blasters in a rematch to determine who would wrestle The Neon Express to determine the inaugural Tag Team Championship; The Blade Blasters won that match and would later go on to win the title.

After forming a short-lived trio with Mad Abner called The Mad Oppressors, The Pain Dealers would continue to focus their attention on the Tag Team Championship, feuding with champions The Blade Blasters and other teams throughout the first half of 1980.
Sunday Night Slam (January 1981)

## Event

In the opening bout, rookie tag team The Insectoids continued their winning streak, defeating The Island Warriors with their Cootie Shuffle tag team finisher.

After that match, World Champion Average Guy had an arm wrestling match with his Super Duper Show challenger Buck Bronco.

In the second match, Tag Team Champions The Blade Blasters (Buzzsaw and Lazer) teamed up with Damon Van Winkle to take on the newly-formed trio The Gods of Rock (Raunch Robbins, Cesar Sleaze, and Dizzy Lixx). The Blade Blasters would be defending their title against Robbins and one member of The Gods of Rock at Super Duper Show, as Robbins was invoking The Ramblin' Men's rematch clause (without his two injured teammates). The Blade Blasters and Van Winkle won the match when Buzzsaw hit the Master Blaster.

Up next, Mallet Allen defeated He-Beast the Barbarian with the Shin Splint.

After that match, Honest Al interviewed former World Champion Jet Set Strutter about the fact that Strutter is now prohibited from challenging for the World Championship as long as Average Guy's reign continues. Strutter said he wasn't worried because he knew "that slob" Average Guy would lose the title soon, after which he'd be first in line to take the belt off "whatever second-rate loser beats him."

In the semi-main event, Ladies Champion Countess defeated Princess Starbright to retain the title.

In the main event, Devin Van Winkle defeated Cruiserweight Champion Star Boy by disqualification, which meant that Star Boy would retain the title. The fact that Star Boy, a babyface, managed to get disqualified came as a surprise, but the two shook hands after the match in a show of sportsmanship.
Weekend Wrasslin' (February 1980)

## Background

This was the "go-home show" before Wrestle World's second PPV, Valentine's Day Massacre. Rather than being held at a traditional venue, this show was held at Mojito Beach in Miami, Florida.

## Matches

The show opened with Average Guy defeating Mystic Maan, a mysterious wrestler from India making his Wrestle World debut. Maan received a cheekbone injury during this bout that would keep him sidelined for three shows.

Next up was the debuting French-Canadian Ricardo Marceau scoring a win over Cesar Sleaze with the Canadian Crab submission hold.  This was the lowest-rated match in WW history to this point, receiving zero stars (a "dud").

Next, another wrestler made his WW debut, as Exotic Rick appeared in-ring to cut a promo extolling his wrestling skills and putting the entire roster on notice.

A commercial next aired for the upcoming Valentine's Day PPV, promoting a just-announced World Championship match between Jet Set Strutter and Memphis Prince, as well as The Blade Blasters defending their Tag Team Title against the winners of a match later tonight.

That match occurred next, with the American Heroes (Dangerzone and Warhawk) defeating the Fantastique French Berets (Francois and Pepe Beret) to become the number one contenders to the Tag Team Championship.

In the main event, Lyndi Harker defeated Queen of Mean in a Ladies Championship tournament match to secure a spot in the three-way finals at Valentine's Day Massacre to determine the first champion.  This was the first time a ladies' division match main evented a Wrestle World show.

## Reception

The show received a relatively low 10.26 TV rating, but live attendance was great, with the crowd at Mojito Beach reaching the maximum allowed 15,000.
Sunday Night Slam (June 1980)

## Matches

The show opened with Television Champion Memphis Prince giving a promo in the ring in which he actually congratulated his rival Buck Bronco on securing yet another shot at the TV Title, but offered to face him next week on Weekend Wrasslin’ rather than waiting until Beach Brawl.

In the night’s first match, villainous French giant Pierre the Enormous defeated Red Pirate Rogers with the Giant Elbow Drop. It was noted that an earlier match between the two months ago is technically the only non-victory on Pierre’s record, as he and Rogers fought to a double count-out draw. Pierre now has a 7-0 record in Wrestle World.

After that bout, a creepy vignette aired with Mad Abner, scheduled to face Average Guy at Beach Brawl in a barbed wire match, appearing in a graveyard and promising to “bury [Guy’s] career in barbed wire.”

Returning to in-ring action, the Van Winkle 3 took on the debuting trio Rebellion, consisting of Indian wrestlers Big Thuggee, Lil Thuggee, and Mystic Maan. Though the new faction showed surprising cohesion, Terry Van Winkle managed to pick up the win for himself and his brothers via the Tornado Punch.

In the next match, Skullgore, fresh off losing his Cruiserweight Championship last week to Skullgore, took on Cimmeternian warrior He-Beast the Barbarian. Using his Crossbone Body Block, Skullgore was able to pick up the win.

Following that bout, Honest Al began an interview with Average Guy. Guy said he wasn’t intimidated by Mad Abner’s scare tactics and that he accepted Abner’s ghoulish barbed wire stipulation for a reason: he wants to put Abner away once and for all so he can once again focus on becoming the World Champion. World Champ Jet Set Strutter then came out and claimed that Guy would stand no chance against the Sudanese mad man. Strutter said he’s seen Mad Abner wrestle in barbed wire matches in Texas, Japan, and all over the world, and that he knows Guy will walk away a bloody mess.

In the night’s main event, Ladies Champion Queen of Mean defended her title against the debuting heavyweight newcomer from Fiji, Madam Tiki. The Queen was able to put her challenger away using her top-rope finisher, the Screamer.

## Reception

Despite putting on a fairly strong show, this episode of Sunday Night Slam was once again in second place behind RnR’s program, which featured a main event in which recent WW wrestler and current RnR Television Champion Michael T. Wolf won the RnR World Title, becoming that company’s first double champion.
Weekend Wrasslin' (May 1980)

## Background

Weeks before this show, Mad Abner had attacked Jet Set Strutter and injured his foot. Strutter believed the attack had been orchestrated by Jet Set Strutter in an attempt to keep Guy away from the World Title, though Strutter refused to confirm or deny the accusations. Guy and Abner eventually agreed to a match at the upcoming Monster Mayhem PPV. Prior to this episode of Weekend Wrasslin’, it was announced that Mad Abner and Average Guy would face each other in a tag team preview of their Monster Mayhem bout, with each choosing a partner.

Last week, The Island Warriors won a number one contenders’ match to earn a shot at The Blade Blasters’ Tag Team Championship. A contract signing was set for this week’s episode of Weekend Wrasslin’.

## Matches

In the opening bout, Pierre the Enormous defeated two local wrestlers, Earl Jackson and Peter Dabrowski, in a handicap match that received a 0 star rating. Pierre’s winning streak extended to 6-0.

In the next match, French-Canadian wrestler Ricardo Marceau defeated perennial loser Jobber Joe in Joe’s tenth straight loss.

After that match, The Blade Blasters and The Island Warriors met in the ring to sign a contract for their upcoming Monster Mayhem match. The segment predictably descended into chaos, with the two teams fighting all over the ringside area.

After the ring was cleared, it was time for the semi-main event. Average Guy revealed his partner to be fan favorite Hardhat Bud Duncan, while Mad Abner revealed his to be World Champion Jet Set Strutter, seemingly confirming Strutter’s involvement with Abner and the now-infamous assault on Guy the previous month.

After a hard fought match, Strutter and Abner defeated the babyface duo of Guy and Duncan.

In the main event, hometown hero Memphis Prince successfully defended his Television Championship against Wall Street villain Yuppie VP.

## Reception

Despite having sold out the Mid-South Court twice already in 1980, this edition of Weekend Wrasslin’ failed to fill all available seats. The matches received low star ratings as well, with the opening handicap match being especially derided as a boring and unnecessary squash match. Even the main event featuring Memphis Prince, a wrestler with intense popularity in his namesake city, only reached a two-star rating.

In the TV ratings, the show scored an 11.56 rating, a respectable increase from the previous week, but still only enough to finish in second place behind Rock ‘n’ Roll Wrestling’s show. They did finish ahead of ABCW’s show, which featured a main event in which a new, young wrestler known as Dude Brohan defeated Claude Jean to win the ABCW Television Championship in his debut match.
Sunday Night Slam (February 1980)

## Background

The main two stories heading into this episode of *Sunday Night Slam* were Average Guy’s continued efforts to secure a World Championship match and The Blade Blasters’ ongoing feud with The Pain Dealers and The Neon Express. The tournament to crown the first Ladies Champion also continued.

## Matches

The show opened with a tournament match between Aurora (accompanied by her brother, He-Beast the Barbarian) and her long-time rival Countess. Aurora won after hitting an Ultimate Powerslam and secured herself a spot in the three-way match for the Ladies Championship at Valentine’s Day Massacre. This was the Wrestle World debut of both participants.

Next, Average Guy defeated the debuting Mallet Allen with an Average Elbow. After the match, Honest Al interviewed Guy’s nemesis, World Champion Jet Set Strutter, who claimed that it would take more than one win before Guy had “earned” a shot at his title.

Next, Chameleon Kid debuted in a match against Mad Abner, which he won with the Chameleon-Plex.

Before the main event, a commercial aired promoting the upcoming Valentine’s Day Massacre pay-per-view event, which will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In the main event, The Blade Blasters (Buzzsaw and Lazer) successfully defended their Tag Team Championship against The Pain Dealers (Big Thuggee and Lil Thuggee).

## Ratings

The show received a 13.25 rating, once again putting it in second place behind RnR (18.37) and ahead of ABCW (5.38).

Superstar Saturday (February 1980)

## Background

Six days after Wrestle World’s PPV debut at Super Duper Show, Wrestle World arrived at the Cattle Castle in Daly City, California, for the second episode of Superstar Saturday.

## Matches

The show opened with a 10-man battle royal, which Pierre the Enormous won after eliminating Buck Bronco with a giant elbow drop. The battle royal included the debuts of Thumper Moore, Studmuffin, El Presidente, Mr. Masculine, and Dr. B.

Next, Jet Set Strutter was interviewed by Honest Al and gloated about his win over He-Beast the Barbarian at Super Duper Show. Average Guy appeared and once again called Strutter out for his underhanded tactics. Strutter said that Guy would have to “get at the back of the line” if he wanted a title shot.

In the second match of the night, Cletus Mullet (seconded by his cousin, Zeke) made his in-ring debut by defeating Jobber Joe with a roll-up after spitting tobacco juice in his eye.  This constituted Joe’s fourth straight loss in Wrestle World.

Next, the debuting Valedictorian defeated Warhawk (accompanied by his Super Platoon partner, Dangerzone) with a Savage Elbow.

In the following match, Francois Beret made his debut by defeating Hardhat Bud Duncan with his signature move, La Collision.

Next, Princess Starbright defeated Succubus in a Ladies Championship tournament match. She will go on to the finals, a three-way match at Valentine’s Day Massacre to determine the inaugural Ladies Champion.

In the main event, Buzzsaw defeated Big Thuggee and Chet Skye in a three-way match that served as a continuation of the ongoing Tag Team Championship feud between The Blade Blasters, The Pain Dealers, and The Neon Express, as each wrestler was accompanied by their tag team partner.

## Reception

Despite selling out the Cattle Castle, resulting in Wrestle World’s highest attendance number to date (15,000), this episode of Superstar Saturday actually received the company’s second-lowest television rating to this point, a 13.50. This may have been reflective of a rough week for wrestling TV in general, however, as RnR was also down to a 15.94 (coming off a remarkable 19.97 the week before), and ABCW was down to 7.77 from the previous week’s 9.53.

Weekend Wrasslin' (January 1980)

## Background

This was the debut episode of Weekend Wrasslin’ and Wrestle World's third overall event. It was the “go-home show” for Wrestle World’s first pay-per-view event, Super Duper Show. Three championship matches were made official for Super Duper Show, and the first-ever Cruiserweight Champion was crowned in the main event.

## Matches

Before the show began, footage was shown of Jet Set Strutter attacking Average Guy, who was scheduled to face Savai’i in a number one contender’s match to determine Strutter’s opponent at Super Duper Show.

In the ring, Honest Al interviewed The Neon Express (Chet Skye and Jessie Wild), who would be facing the winner of the Blade Blasters vs. Pain Dealers match at Super Duper Show for the Tag Team Championship. Skye and Wild said they were ready to take on either team and were looking forward to becoming the first champions. Before the segment ended, Honest Al confirmed that Average Guy had suffered an ankle injury in the attack earlier and would have to be replaced by the debuting He-Beast the Barbarian in the number one contender’s match.

In the first match of the night, The Blade Blasters (Buzzsaw and Lazer) defeated The Pain Dealers (Big Thuggee and Lil Thuggee) when Lazer hit his signature move, the Lazer Blade Splash. As a result, they will face The Neon Express at Super Duper Show to determine the first-ever Tag Team Champions.

Next, He-Beast the Barbarian made his Wrestle World debut against Savai’i in a World Championship number one contender’s match. He defeated Savai’i using his Animal Slam and earned a match against Jet Set Strutter for the World Championship at Super Duper Show.

After that match, Television Champion Star Boy and rival The Piranha signed a contract for a title rematch at Super Duper Show.

In the night’s main event, Michael T. Wolf defeated Red Pirate Rogers to become the first-ever Cruiserweight Champion.

## Ratings

For the second week in a row, Wrestle World’s TV ratings increased, as the debut episode of Weekend Wrasslin’ scored a 15.12 rating. This also marked Wrestle World’s first TV victory, as it beat Rock ‘n’ Roll Wrestling’s 13.52 and America’s Best Championship Wrestling’s 9.21–this despite the episode being Wrestle World’s least well-received to date, at only two stars.

Weekend Wrasslin' (August 1980)

## Matches

In the opening match, Average Guy faced the undefeated giant French heel Pierre the Enormous in a falls count anywhere match. This match was set up by World Champion Jet Set Strutter, with the stipulation that if Guy won, he would get a World Title shot at Summer Smash, but that if he lost, he would never again be allowed to wrestle for the championship. After a bloody bout that took place all over the Mid-South Court, Guy pinned Pierre in a shocking upset, ending Pierre’s undefeated streak and securing Guy a match for the belt.

In the next bout, Jobber Joe, fresh off the end of his losing streak last week, once again lost to Rebellion member Mystic Maan.

After that match, a commercial for the upcoming Summer Smash pay-per-view aired. Summer Smash will air live on Sunday, August 31, from the Olympus Colosseum in Los Angeles, California.

Coming back from the commercial break, former Tag Team Champions The Blade Blasters faced The Fantastique French Berets in a match dominated by the Blasters.

After that bout, Honest Al interviewed World Champion Jet Set Strutter to get his thoughts on the Guy/Pierre match earlier in the night. Strutter claimed that Guy “got lucky” and said that although Guy will indeed receive his title match at Summer Smash, it’s going to be on Strutter’s terms. He announced that their match will be a submission match and promised to make Guy tap out to the Six-Figure Leglock “just like all the chumps before him.”

In the night’s main event, hometown hero Memphis Prince successfully defended his Television Championship against rival Buck Bronco ahead of his scheduled defense against Valedictorian at Summer Smash.

## Reception

This edition of Weekend Wrasslin’ received a 13.52 TV rating, putting it in second-place for the week behind RnR and preventing WW from starting a “streak” after their number one placing last week.
Sunday Night Slam (August 1980)

## Matches

Average Guy cut a promo to open the show. He stated confidently that whomever Jet Set Strutter announced as his opponent for next week’s Weekend Wrasslin’, he would defeat them and go on to face Strutter for the World Championship at Summer Smash.

In the show’s first match, Pierre the Enormous defeated Major Malice and Thumper Moore in a handicap dog collar match in what could be described as the most forceful dominance shown by a single wrestler in a match.

Following that match, Jet Set Strutter was shown backstage with Wrestle World commissioner Mr. Fantasy and announced that Average Guy’s opponent for next week would be none other than Pierre the Enormous himself.
Sunday Night Slam (January 1980)

## Background

The next match featured Zeke Mullet (accompanied by his cousin Cletus) defeat Jobber Joe with the grizzly bear hug.

Next, Average Guy gave a passionate and dramatic promo where he decried the underhanded tactics Jet Set Strutter had used to win the World Championship and promised to do everything he could to win the title for the people.

Up next, The Neon Express (Chet Skye and Jessie Wild) defeated The Metalheads (Dizzy Lixx and Cesar Sleaze) when Skye hit his signature torpedo dropkick.

After that match, The Blade Blasters (Buzzsaw and Lazer) gave an in-ring promo where they revealed that they would be facing The Pain Dealers in a rematch on the debut episode of Weekend Wrasslin' next week, with the winners facing the Neon Express for the inaugural Tag Team Championship at Super Duper Show.

In the night's main event, World Champion Jet Set Strutter successfully defended his title against Buck Bronco, winning with the Six-Figure Leglock.

## Ratings

Wrestle World’s debut edition of Sunday Night Slam gained an 13.08 rating, putting it in second place for the week behind Rock & Roll Wrestling’s 18.00, but ahead of America’s Best Championship Wrestling’s 6.32. This rating was up from WW's previous TV rating.

## Event

To open the show, Skullgore defeated Red Pirate Rogers to qualify for the upcoming Cruiserweight Cup tournament.

The next bout between Valedictorian and Buck Bronco stemmed from a battle royal the week prior; Valedictorian had won by last eliminating Bronco to become the number one contender to the Television Championship. After much goading from Bronco, Valedictorian agreed to put his title shot on the line against Bronco, resulting in this match. The match ended with no definitive winner, however, when the two fought to a time limit draw.

Up next was another Cruiserweight Cup qualifying bout, as Max Power defeated Ricardo Marceau with a Double Uppercut to advance to the tournament.

After that match, Cruiserweight Champion Star Boy cut a promo wherein he revealed he would be defending his title against the winner of the Cruiserweight Cup.

The show then cut to backstage, as Memphis Prince was shown talking with Wrestle World Commissioner Mr. Fantasy. Fantasy revealed that due to the lack of a winner in the earlier Bronco/Valedictorian match, both men would face Prince in a three-way match for the Television Championship at the Cruiserweight Cup show.

The next match was a tag team Cruiserweight Cup qualifying. Both members of The Neon Express (Chet Skye and Jessie Wild) advanced to the tournament by defeating Rebellion (Lil Thuggee and Mystic Maan).

In the night's main event, Queen of Mean used her Screamer finisher to defeat Lyndi Harker and become the number one contender to the Ladies Championship.

World Championship

The World Championship belt

The **World Championship** is a men's singles world heavyweight championship created and promoted by Wrestle World. It is the primary men's championship in WW.

## History

Prior to the creation of Wrestle World (and rival promotions America's Best Championship Wrestling and Rock 'n' Roll Wrestling, all three established at the same time), wrestling was a chiefly territorial sport, with each area of the country crowning its own regional champion. When the three national companies were founded, they each attempted to crown their own world champion.

Wrestle World's World Championship was introduced on January 5, 1980, at the company's first show. In the night's main event, Jet Set Strutter defeated Average Guy and Memphis Prince to become the inaugural champion. The three were selected due to having been highly-respected regional champions; Jet Set Strutter was previously the Mid-Atlantic Champion, Average Guy had been the Texas Champion, and Memphis Prince was the Mid-South Champion.

## Belt design

The World Championship belt consists of three gold and silver plates (a large main plate in the center flanked on each side by a smaller side plate) on a black leather strap.

The main plate features gold design elements on a silver backdrop. A gold version of Wrestle World's "WW" logo is positioned at the center of the plate, with a large stylized crown at the top and a small gold-and-blue globe at the bottom. Black banners with gold text site directly above and below the WW logo and read "WORLD" and "CHAMPION," respectively. Laurels and pillars also feature into the design prominently.

The side plates each feature a gold-and-blue globe with an eagle above them.
Weekend Wrasslin' (July 1980)

## Background

This was the go-home show before Wrestle World’s Red White & Blue Bash PPV.

## Matches

The opening match was a three-way match to determine Jet Set Strutter’s World Championship challenger for the upcoming Red White & Blue Bash.  Television Champion Memphis Prince defeated He-Beast the Barbarian and Studmuffin to earn the title shot.  This is the first time any wrestler has been given the opportunity to become a double-champion in Wrestle World.

After the opener, Big Thuggee (along with his Rebellion partner, Mystic Maan) defeated BMX biker-turned-wrestler Rad Racer via his signature move, the Heart Claw.

Following that match, the Van Winkle 3 (Devin and Tag Team Champions Damon and Terry) cut a promo showing solidarity against The Ramblin’ Men, the trio who had attacked Devin and Damon two weeks prior and who would be Devin and Terry’s challengers at Red White & Blue Bash. While Devin expected to be fully healed by the pay-per-view, Terry would still not be 100% due to the head injury he had suffered during their match almost a month prior at Beach Brawl. Still, Terry vowed to appear and help defend the title so they would not lose via forfeit.

After that promo, a clip was shown of Ladies Champion Queen of Mean’s appearance on a popular late night talk show.

Returning to in-ring action, the Ramblin’ Men made their in-ring debut when Sexy Rebel and Jordy Hoss (accompanied by Raunch Robbins) defeated the Neon Express. Jordy used his signature maneuver, the Southern Spike, to pick up the victory, giving the team even more momentum heading into their Tag Team Title bout at Red White & Blue Bash.

In the night’s main event, long-time rivals Countess and Aurora fought in a ladies division bout that ended with Countess winning via her Great Oppression finisher.

## Reception

This edition of Weekend Wrasslin’ received a low 2-star rating, and tellingly, no match received more than 2 stars individually. Even the opener, featuring three well-liked wrestlers and World Title match implications, earned only a single star. Although the show did build toward the upcoming Red White & Blue Bash PPV by establishing Jet Set Strutter’s challenger and forwarding the feud between the Van Winkles and the Ramblin’ Men, it did nothing to advance any other storylines, including the Average Guy/Mad Abner rubber match or the still-unannounced challenger to Star Boy’s Cruiserweight Title.
Sunday Night Slam (July 1980)

## Matches

In the first match of the night, Valedictorian defeated Major Malice in a decisive victory using his patented Savage Elbow.

After that match, the Ramblin’ Men (Sexy Rebel, Jordy Hoss, and Raunch Robbins), the rock-and-roll trio that attacked Devin and Damon Van Winkle last week, appeared in-ring to cut a promo. They bragged about their attack on the Van Winkles and announced that they had “used [their] pull with the commissioner” to earn a Tag Team Championship match at Red White & Blue Bash, despite champs Devin and Terry both being injured. They announced that if the Van Winkles failed to show up for the defense, they would forfeit the title. Notably, they did not clarify which of the three would face the Van Winkles.

Following that promo, a commercial aired for the upcoming Red White & Blue Bash featuring World Champion Jet Set Strutter, Exotic Rick, and Pierre the Enormous.

After the commercial break, former Tag Team Champions The Blade Blasters (Buzzsaw and Lazer) teamed with Average Guy to face The Island Warriors (Savai’i and Tupu) and Guy’s upcoming opponent, Mad Abner. The babyface team won when Buzzsaw hit his top rope finisher, the Master Blaster.

Next, a match between two fan favorites took place when Cimmeternian warrior He-Beast the Barbarian took on everyman Hardhat Bud Duncan.  He-Beast won using the Animal Slam.

After that bout, Cruiserweight Champion Star Boy gave an in-ring promo where he announced that he would be defending his title at Red White & Blue Bash against a yet-to-be-announced opponent.

In the mean event, Ladies Champion Queen of Mean successfully defended her title against Princess Starbright.

## Reception

The event received a 3-star rating and a 10.76 TV rating, the latter putting it in second place once again behind RnR for the week. The Ladies Championship main event was the highest match of the night at four stars, though the Ramblin’ Men promo was also rated four-stars, and the commercial for RWBB was the best-received overall segment at five stars.
Michael T. Wolf

**Michael T. Wolf** is a professional wrestler currently signed to Rock 'n' Roll Wrestling (RnR). He formerly competed for Wrestle World, where he was the inaugural Cruiserweight Champion. After leaving WW and joining RnR, he became a World, Television, and Cruiserweight Champion, holding all three titles simultaneously. He accomplished these feats despite being a high school senior prior to the summer of 1980.

Wolf's ring name is derived from his hypertrichosis, a condition that causes excessive hair to grow all over the body, including the face. That said, rumors have abounded that Wolf is an actual werewolf, though this has never been confirmed.

Superstar Saturday (June 1980)

## Matches

To open the program, the Van Winkle 3 faced the Fantastique French Berets and El Presidente in a six-man tag team match, which the Van Winkles won when Damon hit one of them with the Winkle Claw.

Next, Mad Abner, fresh off his loss to Average Guy at Monster Mayhem, appeared in-studio and called Guy out. He claimed Guy had gotten lucky in their last match and challenged him to a rematch at Beach Brawl, but with a particularly gruesome twist: the ropes in the match would be replaced with barbed wire. Guy accepted the challenge.

The show then returned to the ring for the next match, as former boxer Max Power defeated the mysterious Mystic Maan after a flurry of punches followed by a double uppercut.

The next match was announced to be for the number one contendership to the Television Championship, as Buck Bronco (who now had two straight losses to his rival, TV Champ Memphis Prince) defeated Major Malice to secure himself another shot at the belt.

In the next match, Hardhat Duncan defeated The Island Warriors’ Savai’i (accompanied by his cousin, Tupu) using his signature move, Tool Time.

The semi-main event saw Exotic Rick pull off another impressive win, this time over Warhawk.

In the main event, Star Boy defeated Cruiserweight Champion Skullgore to claim the title using the Flying Cross Chop. With his win, Star Boy became the first two-time champion in Wrestle World history, having previously been the inaugural Television Champion.

## Reception

This edition of Superstar Saturday pulled a 14.6 TV rating, putting Wrestle World back into second place. Rock ‘n’ Roll Wrestling scored an impressive 19.27 rating for their show, which featured recent Wrestle World departee Michael T. Wolf winning the RnR Television Championship in the main event..
Sunday Night Slam (April 1980)

## Matches

In the show’s opening bout, Average Guy defeated luchador El Presidente.

After that match, Honest Al interviewed World Champion Jet Set Strutter, who sarcastically congratulated Guy on his victory but reminded him that he will never receive another match for the World Title. To further drive this point home, Strutter revealed that next week’s episode of Weekend Wrasslin’ will open with the Jet Set Strutter invitational battle royal, a 10-man over-the-top-rope challenge with the winner receiving a shot at Strutter’s belt at Champ Clash. Strutter stated that Guy will not be among those invited to participate.

In the night’s second match, The Piranha used the Outlaw Choke to defeat his rival Star Boy and become the number one contender to the Cruiserweight Championship held by Skullgore.

Following the match, a commercial for Champ Clash aired which revealed that Memphis Prince will defend his Television Championship against Buck Bronco at the event.

In the first of the show’s two title matches, The Blade Blasters (Buzzsaw and Lazer) successfully defended the Tag Team Title against The Fantastique French Berets, Francois and Pepe.

In the main event, Cimmeternian warrior and Ladies Champion Aurora put her title on the line against the heel Queen of Mean.  In a shocking end to the show, Queen of Mean used her top-rope finisher, the Screamer, and pinned Aurora to win the belt.

## Reception

The prior episode of Wrestle World television had garnered an abysmal 8.17 TV rating, which put WW behind ABCW in the week’s rankings for the first time. To hopefully rebound, WW packed this episode of Sunday Night Slam with content they expected to drive the rating up, including an Average Guy match, a continuation of the heated Piranha/Star Boy feud that had been off TV for weeks, an interview with Jet Set Strutter that included an announcement with major ramifications, and two separate title matches. Although WW’s rating did increase this week to 10.97, putting them ahead of ABCW, it was still their third-lowest TV rating in history. RnR, meanwhile, garnered an extremely impressive 19.84 rating, the second highest for any wrestling program ever, bolstered by a main event that saw RnR World Champion Freddie Williams successfully defending his title.

The show performed better attendance-wise, selling out all 6,000 seats of the Boston Arena in the promotion’s first return to that venue since February.
