NWA World Title Tournament....
Masked_Texan | Posted on 01/15/07 at 06:45:10 Okay, well, I've started over (again), but I think I have everything figured out enough to make this my last "restart" of my 1978-1992 era of wrestling. So, to start out, I ran the NWA World Title Tournament. It started 12/04/77 with qualifying matches, and the finals were held 1/1/78 in St. Louis, Missouri. It was a 32 man tournament, but, with a twist. I grouped them in "fours" and ran round robin matches in the groups. The top 2 point winners in each group advanced. All matches were best 2 out of 3 falls to a finish, no time limit, no count out, no disqualifications. The finals was an Iron Man Match, most falls within the hour wins the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. So, without further delay, here are the groups....I'm not going to paste the results, but will put "Advanced" next to each wrestler that advanced to the next round.... Group A - 12/4/1977 Charlotte, NC Ric Flair (Advanced) Tito Santana Wahoo McDaniel (Advanced) Paul Orndorff Group B - 12/4/1977 Kansas City, KS Harley Race (Advanced) Abdullah the Butcher (Advanced) Ron Garvin Ernie Ladd Group C - 12/4/1977 New Orleans, LA Ted DiBiase Tully Blanchard (Advanced) Sting Dick Slater (Advanced) Group D - 12/4/1977 Tampa, FL Dusty Rhodes Masked Superstar (Advanced) Sgt. Slaughter (Advanced) Greg Valentine Group E - 12/4/1977 Tokyo, Japan Giant Baba (Advanced) Brad Armstrong Masa Chono Lex Luger (Advanced) Group F - 12/4/1977 Tulsa, OK Dick Murdoch (Advanced) Carlos Colon (Advanced) Kerry Von Erich Junk Yard Dog Group G - 12/4/1977 San Francisco, CA Mr. Saito (Advanced) Bruiser Brody Tommy Rich (Advanced) Roddy Piper Group H - 12/4/1977 Greensboro, NC Rick Steamboat (Advanced) Jack Brisco Terry Funk Magnum T.A. (Advanced) ----------------------------------------------------- Group A2 - 12/11/1977 Charlotte, NC Ric Flair (Advanced) Wahoo McDaniel Rick Steamboat (Advanced) Magnum T.A. Group B2 - 12/11/1977 Kansas City, KS Harley Race (Advanced) Abdullah the Butcher Mr. Saito Tommy Rich (Advanced) Group C2 - 12/11/1977 Greensboro, NC Tully Blanchard Dick Slater (Advanced) Dick Murdoch (Advanced) Carlos Colon Group D2 - 12/11/1977 Amarillo, TX Masked Superstar (Advanced) Sgt. Slaughter (Advanced) Giant Baba Lex Luger ------------------------------------------------------ Group A3 - 12/18/1977 Charlotte, NC Ric Flair (Advanced) Rick Steamboat (Advanced) Masked Superstar Sgt. Slaughter Group B3 - 12/18/1977 Kansas City, KS Harley Race (Advanced) Tommy Rich Dick Slater (Advanced) Dick Murdoch --------------------------------------------------- Group A4 - 12/25/1977 St. Louis, MO (Semi Finals) Ric Flair (Advanced to finals) Rick Steamboat Harley Race Dick Slater (Advanced to finals) ---------------------------------------------------- Finals - 1/1/1978 St. Louis, MO Ric Flair defeated Dick Slater 3 falls to 2, to win the NWA World Heavyweight Title. After the match, Special Guest Referee Lou Thesz and NWA President Bob Geigel, hand Flair the Gold Domed NWA World Title. Dick Slater attacks Flair from behind and throws him out of the ring! Slater then preceeds to piledrive Flair on the concrete! Preliminary reports say that Flair suffered a neck injury and will be out for an indefinite amount of time. Meanwhile, Slater, is stating his case with Geigel that if Flair cannot defend the title, then HE should be the champ! Geigel gets on the house mic, that not only will Flair remain the champ, but that Dick Slater cannot get a rematch for the NWA World Title for 6 months! Apologies if this is too long..... ;D |
