WWE X Street Fighter II

 Because why not?

Now, for the official line, we have M. Bison (the Rock), Blanka (Ultimate Warrior), E. Honda (Yokozuna), Guile (John Cena), and Cammy (Bianca Belair). These are of course just guesses on my part. I am rather shocked that Cena is Guile as opposed to Cody (movie synergy and all that). 

Chun-Li: Becky Lynch. She's the Strongest Woman in the World, so why not?

Zangrief: Rusev. A bit obvious, I know. 

Dhalsim: A bit harder on this one. I'm going with Kane, since they both deal with fire. 

Balrog: R-Truth. He's not much of a boxer but I think he could elevated to final boss level. 

Vega: Penta. Maybe too obvious, but the mask bit works with both. 

Akuma: Finn Baylor. Fighting demon and all

Dee Jay: Kofi Kingston? Might be too close to his former gimmick.

Evil Ryu: Rey Mysterio (might as well keep it as close to the real thing as possible)

Violent Ken: Dominik Mysterio (same)

Fei Long: Shinsuke Nakamura (grasping at straws with this one)

T. Hawk: Bron Breakker

WWE X Street Fighter

 So, just heard about the latest toy mashup. Street Fighter mixed with the Superstars of the WWE. Three series announced so far, so why not toss my .02 in?

They've already got Ryu (Rey Mysterio), Ken (Dominik Mysterio), and Sagat (Batista) and a few others, so why not suggest the rest?

I'll stick to Street Fighter (1987)

Retsu: The first guy, a bit basic I know but I'll go with Chad Gable.

Geki: Since he's the first fighter masked, I'll say Dragon Lee

Moving into the Americas, we have Joe. I'll go with a deep cut and say Tom Magee

Mike: Angelo Dawkins 

Lee: Ilja Dragunov

Gen: CM Punk

Birdie: Big John Studd

Eagle: The Sandman

Adon: Ludwig Kaiser

Yes, a pinch silly, I know, but eh I'll take anything positive at this point. Might do more games later.

Reseda Country Club

And we have a spooky episode for UWF Fury!

We open with a recap of Rampage. Herb Abrams comes out and thanks the crowd for everything and promises the St. Valentine Day Massacre will be even bigger!

Colonel Red has a special guest set up. David Strong comes out. He looks very annoyed and called out the Blackhearts. Both masked enter. Strong cusses them out for losing and making the Dogs of War look bad. "And you know what happens when THAT happens"

Jason the Terrible bursts through the set's wall and proceeds to lay both men out. Luna Vachon rushes and tries to help one of the masked men, but Jason chokeslams her through Red's desk. "Now that we got that out of my system, let's talk about getting OUR gold back gentlemen" Strong strolls away, Jason in tow.

Bad News Allan comes out. He's been the TV champ and that was nice and all, but for Christmas he only wants one thing-the WORLD title and he'll break every arm of every chump in this whole promotion!

Captain Lou sits down with Wendit Richter. She's quite pleased with being the champ again. She's had some talent brought in, but she's been in talks with some of the top talent from Mexico to Japan and there will be even more matches coming soon!

 Reno Riggins VS Super Ninja

Winner: Reno wins handily while Colonel Red fumes. 6 mins total. 

The Moondogs VS Ebony Experience

Winner: Champ retains in 8. Comes in fast and seems more determined than he has been before. Leaves after posing with the belt. 

Captain Lou sits down with Lady Apache. She's been all over Mexico. She doesn't think too much of UWF but a chance to beat down Richter? Yeah, she's cool with that.

The Lightning Kid (c) VS Barry Horowitz 

Winner: Barry tries, he really does but the Kid is just too fast and one Shooting Star Press later, the Kid retains in 8.

UWF SportsChannel TV Championship match

The Handsome Stranger (c) VS Scott Anthony 

Winner: Anthony opens up strong but tries to cheat. The Stranger catches the brass knuckles and goes ballistic. The ref catches HIM with the knuckles and DQs the Stranger. He retains but still loses. He snaps and beats Anthony's face in until security and Reno Riggins rush out and drag him to the back. 

Rick Rude w/David Strong VS Bob Backlund 

Winner: Backkund tries to start the match out with a handshake but Rude blows him off. Backlund starts out strong, forcing Rude to go to the mat and busting out the old school grappling style. Rude finally muscles out and nails the Rude Awakening in 18. 

UWF Women's Championship

Wendi Richter (c) VS Bull Nakano

Winner: Bull is an absolute monster. Wendi is on the defense for a good chunk of the match but she isn't afraid. She manages to wear Nakano down, working the legs until she finally manages to get her in the figure four leglock and get the win in 20.

GWF/UWF Brass Knuckles championship

Cage match

Cactus Jack (c) VS Joshua Ben-Gurion 

Winner: Just a bloody mess. Jack and Ben-Gurion start out wrestling but quickly just toss the technical stuff out and focus on whacking each other bloody. In 8 minutes both men are covered in gore when Cactus Jack tries to hit a flying elbow from the top rope but misses and nails the cage. He's left dangling as Ben-Gurion limps his way to the door and the title. 

UWF World Championship

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams (c) VS Sabu w/Axe Bomber

Winner: Not even trying for a proper wrestling match, just two guys knocking the hell out of each other. Sabu keeps attacking from the top rope but Williams manages turn that into a backdrop.

We end on Williams slumped down in the wood and splinters,

Announcers: Craig DeGeorge and Captain Lou Albano

Countdown to RAMPAGE!

UWF Light Heavyweight championship

The Lightning Kid (c) VS Sam Houston

Houston cashing in his #1 and he loses after 15. He does his best but the Kid is just too fast for him. 

UWF Television championship

The Handsome Stranger (c) VS Rip Rogers

The Stranger is a house of fire and takes the win in 8. He poses for the crowd. 

Don Muraco VS Jason the Terrible

Jason in 8, A total bloodbath. Muraco bleeds heavily as his efforts are utterly ineffective. Jason wins via TKO and slips out through the crowd. 

We have a rundown for the Rampage card

The Blackhearts VS Kevin Von Erich and Jerry Lynn

All the belts on the line!

Dr. Death VS a surprise opponent!

No HOLDS Barred

The Bounty Hunter VS Kevin Von Erich

Von Erich wins in 20 but he has to work for it. Mostly mat based but when the Hunter goes for some brass knuckles, Von Erich nails him with the Iron Claw. Jerry Lynn comes to the ring and helps him to the back. 

Captain's Corner

The Captain sits down with Bob Backlund. Bob is feeling pretty good. He doesn't want any more titles but he's just pleased to be wrestling and seeing all the talent that's around. The interview is crashed by David Strong and Rick Rude. Rude wants a title shot and he'll take out the trash of the UWF first, starting with the old has been wasting away on the couch. 

That's enough to rile Backlund up and security is quick to keep them separate. Herb Abrams comes out and makes a match for Rampage! 

UWF Brass Knuckles championship

Cactus Jack (c) VS Reno Riggins

Lord, Riggins tries but Jack just manhandles him all over the ring. One hit with the flying elbow in 10 and that's it. 

Colonel Red sits down with Dan Spivey. The former champ is a bit more laid back but don't mistake his attitude for laziness. He's taking a break, but be aware he WILL regain his title. Maybe from Dr. Death, maybe the next chump that beats him. Who knows?

Blue Demon King VS Johnny Ace

The masked challenger and Ace go back and forth but manages to overpower the former Dynamic Dude and powerbomb him for the win in 9

Rampage, coming 10-24!

Rebooking for UWF Fury 108

 10-16-1992

Reseda Country Club

Announcers: Craig DeGeorge and Captain Lou Albano

We open with "Dr. Death" and Colonel Red sitting down. Red asks him about the match last week, but Williams isn't bothered. He beat Lynn like that to send a message to the boys in the back. The belt is his and he intends to keep it. Anyone, marble or not, who steps in the ring with him is due for a world of hurt. It ain't personal, just business.

UWF Women's Championship match

Luna Vachon (c) VS Wendi Richter. Kevin Von Erich as special referee

Richter in 15. Luna comes close, but Von Erich calls it down the middle the entire time, much to her annoyance. Richter takes the belt and poses in the ring. 

The Bounty Hunter rushes down the ring and starts to attack. Von Erich's stripped shirt gets torn in the fight. It's a bare knuckle brawl but when Von Erich puts on the Iron Claw, Rick Rude nails him with a steel chair. By the time a proper ref comes out, David Strong is demanding a pin. Herb Abrams himself comes out with security. 

"Hell no! We all saw what happened and no way is a proper match. Next week, Bounty Hunter and Von Erich-NO HOLDS BARRED!"

UWF Television Championship match

Bam Bam Bigelow (c) VS the Handsome Stranger

Bigelow is clearly hurting from his match last week, so much so the Stranger is able to wear down and pin him in 10.

"Leaping" Lanny Poffo VS Super Ninja

Winner: The Leaper pulls off a win in 8. A bit flashy but he does a fair amount of high flying.

Backstage, Kevin Von Erich is confronted by Sabu and Ax Bomber. Do they want the number 1 contender for the tag team belts? Naw, they can get those belts anytime they want. They just don't think the Blackhearts are worth the trouble. They leave. 

Herb Abrams comes out. Rampage is coming, October 24th! While other companies may have havoc on Halloween, only UWF will give you a rampage!

UWF Tag Team championships

The Blackhearts (c) VS Joshua Ben-Gurion and "Iron" Mike Sharpe

The champs retain in 15. No tricks either but the strength and skills of the new team work pretty well but not well enough. 

Kevin Von Erich bumps into Sam Houston. He noticed the kid has some skill and guts. How about a hand up? He gives him the #1 contender to the Light Heavyweight title. 

SD Jones VS the Viking 

Winner: Jones takes a beating but manages to overcome the odds and slap a sleeper hold over the Nordic nomad in 10. 

Cactus Jack is wandering about in a darkened room, the Brass Knuckle belt dragging behind him. He rambles. Marbles, marbles. Not many left, but what could Cactus Jack want? He has his title but could he also be a contender?

Von Erich is in the locker room when Jerry Lynn bursts in. He appreciates what he did, but he feels he let him down after failing to win against Dr. Death. 

So, Lynn has a proposal. Why not take on the tag team champs at Rampage? Von Erich considers it but seals the deal with a handshake. 

We end with a video promo for Rampage.

Rebooking for UWF Fury 107

 10-9-1992

Reseda Country Club

Announcers: Craig DeGeorge and Captain Lou Albano

We open with Herb Abrams. He walks out with "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. On Abrams shoulders are two belts. 

"Folks, I just want to thank everyone who's stuck with so far. If you recall our last PPV, our champ here" he nods towards Williams, "beat GWF champ Rod Price. So, it is my supreme pleasure to announce that Dr. Death Steve Williams is NO longer the Universal Wrestling Federation North American champion." he pauses. 

"Now, and it is an honor to announce this, but as of now Mr. Williams will be announced as the UWF WORLD Champion!" He puts the two belts aside as a leggy blonde in a swimsuit comes out with a briefcase. Abrams pops it open and pulls out a decent sized belt and gives it to Williams.

Williams nods but seems indifferent. He takes the belt, gives a brief wave then walks off. Abrams looks befuddled. 

UWF Light Heavyweight title

Lightning Kid (c) VS Fire Cat

Winner. Kid retains. Short but fast. Cat tries to outmaneuver but the Kid takes it to the top rope and pins in 10.

Kevin Von Erich sits down with Captain Lou Albano. He's still having all the other marbles, thus he's still number one contender to every other belt. He has to admit, seeing the Lightning Kid? Darn impressed but he's not sure who's going to be the number 1 contender for that belt. Luna Vachon storms onto the set. Who's going to face her?

Wendi Richter rushes out and the two have a face off. Kevin stands up, pops a marble from the bag and with some showmanship hands the UWF Women's title shot to Richter. The audience goes nuts and so does Luna. She tries to attack but security forms a wall. 

Abrams comes out and makes the match official, next week!

Miss Texas VS Bull Nakano

Winner: Nakano in 8. Miss Texas tries her best but Bull simply overpowers her. 

UWF Television title

Bam Bam Bigelow (c) VS Jason the Terrible

Winner: Bigelow in 15 but it's a bloodbath. Jason doesn't even seem to care. Bigelow is thrown around the ring and left a bloody mess but leaves and gets counted out. Bigelow is stretchered to the back. 

Johnny Ace VS the Bounty Hunter

Winner: to the shock of most, the Bounty Hunter in 10. He uses the old fashioned brass knuckles to Ace's head when the ref gets distracted by Colonel Red. 

Colonel Red then has a sit down with the newly victorious masked man. He's got a fire under him and he's looking for some gold! "The TV title?" Hell no, he wants gold and serious gold at that! He'll get a marble from Kevin Von Erich even if he has to beat him stupid to do it!

Which prompts the Von Erich to rush the stage and slap the Iron Claw on the masked man's face. Ok, if he can beat him one on one, he'll let him have whatever's left. He chucks the Hunter into an outraged Red and Super Ninja. 

UWF World title

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams VS Jerry Lynn

Winner: Williams retains in 35 but Lynn clearly takes him to the limit. After the match, Lynn tries to shake Dr. Death's hand, but the bigger man power bombs him. He takes the belt and leaves to the crowd's boos. 

The Son of A Great-Superstars Profile#184

Greg Gagne 

Real name: Greg Gagne 

Hometown: Mound, MN

A.K.A.: N/A

Membership: High Flyers (w/Jim Brunzell)

Finishing move: Sleeperhold

Background: Verne Gagne was a man. A dragon? No, just a man. He altered reality, you know. Split everything, world got split into different dimensions. 

In the new scheme of things, Verne oversaw a team of heroes based out of Minnesota. Greg was set to inherit the whole thing. Pity he lacked pretty much everything his old man had. 

His efforts at being a hero? He formed a super team! Of himself and one other guy, who did most of the work. He trained under Sgt. Slaughter! Who declared him a buck private for life. 

He even made his way to New York, but after a few fights couldn't cut the mustard and left. Not that he was even on Titan Inc's radar anyway. 

So yeah, went home to Minnesota and stayed there til the 90s, then retired. Some stories are epic and some aren't; you can't win every time. 

The Highest Chief-Superstars Profile#183

Peter Maivia

Real name: Fanene Maivia 

Hometown: The Isle of Samoa 

A.K.A.: Prince Peter Maivia

Membership: Titan, Inc. 

Background: All dynasties start somewhere.

Before the Rock or even the Soulman, we must look back to the island of Samoa. Much has been written about the culture and its heroes. 

One of the biggest was the prince and yes, that was his persona as he arrived in America. He was royal and he loved to fight. He even joined the Superstars, but formerly quit in 1978 when he attacked Bob Backlund. 

His tenure in the 80's was brief as he officially retired in 1982 but he lived long enough to see his family grow and flourish. 

I Like to Hurt People-Superstars Profile#182

Ox Baker

Real name: Douglas Baker

Hometown: Waterloo, IA

A.K.A.: The Friendly Arkansas Ox

Membership: Titan, Inc., partners with the Grand Wizard

Finishing move: Heart Punch

Background: Ox started out as good as one could be. Back in the 60's, the Friendly Arkansas Ox was a proud member of the Superstars and was on his way to build his own legend alongside the greats. 

Something happened though. The bespectacled youth went out to the woods. What came back was bald and ornery. He left New York and wandered the world, battling anything and everyone. 

In 1980 he came back and was given to the Grand Wizard, who promptly dropped him as a client after one fight where Ox should bloodlust more akin to an animal than a human. Ox didn't care. He lit out and was never seen in New York again, although rumors and sighting would continue well into the Twenty-First Century. 

The Mouth of the South-Superstars Profile#181

Jimmy "the Mouth of the South" Hart

Real name: James Hart

Hometown: Memphis, TN

A.K.A.: the Strapmaster, the Colonel, the Memphis Chicken 

Membership: Titan, Inc., the Gentrys 

Finishing move: N/A

Background: A loudmouth, but an entertaining one. 

Jimmy, if fate had gone another way, would probably have remained a member of a half-way decent rock and blues band, touring medium sized clubs. 

That didn't happen; instead he ran into Jerry Lawler and figured "Hey, I want to see someone knock the hell out of that guy. Why don't I make that happen?" and thus the First Family was born. This got him on Titan's radar and soon he was pushed alongside Slick and Captain Lou. Hart first worked with Greg Valentine, but it was his mentoring of the Hart Foundation that cemented his role as a manager. 

For most of the 80s he was there, usually out in front and causing a distraction while his boys were up to no good. He had the best of the best, even the Missing Link but when the 90s came, things changed. 

The Bad One-Superstars Profile#180

 Earl Hebner

Real name: Earl Hebner

Hometown: Richmond, VA

A.K.A.: Dave Hebner

Membership: City of New York Judicial Branch

Finishing move: N/A

Background: Once there were two brothers. One, the bane of his father's eye, cheated his way through school and graduated barely, eventually becoming an ambulance chaser

When there is a fight, an impartial figure to often called upon to render a judgement. Earl knocked out Dave and took his place, ensuring that Hulk Hogan lost. His deception was quickly uncovered and Earl quickly figured that maybe committing identity theft was a bad idea. 

Of course, when his tried to fly on the straight narrow that somehow screwed him worse than being crooked, but that's a story for another day. 

The Good One-Superstars Profile#179

Dave Hebner

Real name: David Hebner

Hometown: Richmond, VA

A.K.A.: N/A

Membership: City of New York Judicial Branch

Finishing move: N/A

Background: Once there were two brothers. One, the apple of his father's eye, worked hard and graduated school, eventually becoming a judge with a reputation of calling it fairly and right down the middle. 

When there is a fight, an impartial figure to often called upon to render a judgement. Dave was one of the best; when you're that high up that paints a target on you. When Ted DiBiase wanted to make a hundred percent that his man Andre would win a fight against Hulk Hogan, he found an interesting tidbit. 

Dave had a brother...an identical brother...

Look at That!-Superstars Profile#178

Craig DeGeorge 

Real name: Craig Minervini

Hometown: Miami, FL

A.K.A.: N/A

Membership: Titan Inc. 

Finishing move: N/A

Background: He didn't have a great catchphrase or witness the most epic of battles, but from 1987 to 1989 he was there. 

He didn't do a whole heck of a lot but he was there. He later went back to local sportscasting and found his niche there. 

 

The Lord of the Brook-Superstars Profile#177

Lord Littlebrook

Real name: Eric Henry Edward Tovey

Hometown: Tottenham, London, UK

A.K.A.: Roger Littlebrook

Membership: Partners with Little Tokyo, King Kong Bundy

Finishing move: Giant Swinger

Background: Staying on the straight and narrow isn't always the easiest. 

Eric was a clown. Not a put down either, no, he wore the greasepaint, tumbled, magic tricks, the whole nine yards. He might have even found success; but the circus went bust. Trapped in a foreign country with no prospects, why not turn to crime?

Thus the lower class Tovey became first Roger Littlebrook then LORD Littlebrook, a displaced nobleman with a penchant for highway robbery. His biggest moment was teaming up with his student and King Kong Bundy to take on Hillbilly Jim. They lost. 

He did pretty for himself, slowly retiring into a trainer (see Little Tokyo or Colonel DeBeers) before retiring in the late 90's. 

The Smallest of Tokyos-Superstars Profile#176

Little Tokyo

Real name: Shigeru Akabane

Hometown: Tokyo, Japan

A.K.A.: Tokyo, 

Membership: Partners with Lord Littlebrook, King Kong Bundy

Finishing move: N/A

Background: Sometimes you get epic and sometimes you bump into a guy in the john. 

Akabane was a fighter but more or a bottom of the card kind of guy. That's when he bumped into the infamous Lord Littlebrook and thus a partnership was born. 

That's about it. They traveled, fought, and travled some more. They tried to shake down Hillbilly Jim, earned a country boy ass whuppin. Tokyo split after that, but drifted around a bit. He retired in 1997.

Breaking News-Superstars Profile#175

Sean Mooney 

Real name: Sean Mooney

Hometown: Rochester, NY

A.K.A.: N/A

Membership: Titan News

Finishing move: N/A

Background: Just a guy named Sean

Craig DeGeorge had split and there was someone needed to replace him. He wasn't given the main chair but he was there for the syndication packages and home video releases, which earned him a decent sized audience. 

So yeah, from 1988 to about 1993 there was a guy. Not huge, rarely on the front line where the action was but he was there. 

He mostly does regional news now.

Promotional consideration paid for by the following-Superstars Profile#174

Lord Alfred Hayes 

Real name: Alfred George James Hayes

Hometown: Windermere, England 

A.K.A.: Judo Al Hayes, the White Angel

Membership: Partners with Les Thornton, Ricky Romero, and Roger Kirby

Finishing move: The Tower of London

Background: You can get away with quite a bit with just an accent. 

Young Hayes was solidly middle class, but he had eyes for higher. First as the white clad hero the White Angel, he did pretty well in France but when he tried to take down the infamous Australian crook Dr. Death he was not only beaten but unmasked. 

After that and during a brief stint in politics, he went to America. He opted for the career as a villain and did a right decent job of it but retired in 1982. He got into the managing game and also did a decent job; not upper echelon but a nice run all the same. 

He took the name "Lord Alfred" and nobody bothered to check. When Titan Inc. switched owners in the 80's, he was hired not as a villain or hero, but rather in the news, often working alongside Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. 

He was let go from Titan in 1995 and despite a brief comeback attempt in Chicago he opted to retire.
