WCWF Superclash - January 22, 1984
Madison Square Garden, New York, NY

The Motorway Gents vs The Supernauts

The Gents are a couple of jaunty Englishmen in bowler hats named Morris Minor and Ford Prefect. Their opponents are making their WCWF debut and the crowd pops when "Supernaut" by Black Sabbath plays. The crowd doesn't know what to expect, but that opening guitar riff certainly gets their attention. Out come two big men who outweight their opponents by a combined hundred pounds, introduced as Dreadnaut and Huguenaut.

Dreadnaut and Prefect start out and Dreadnaut just immediately destroys Prefect with a massive spinning lariat for the three count.

Dreadnaut and Huguenaut celebrate, but Morris gets the microphone. He commends such a powerful move for catching the Gents off guard. They want to make this two-out-of-three falls. The Supernauts give an indifferent shrug and get ready for another round.

Huguenaut starts this time. Morris goes to the apron to hand the microphone back to the ring announcer then springboards in with a cross body press he calls the Minor Threat. Huguenaut catches him effortlessly and does a couple curls to show his strength, then hurls Minor over his head and across the ring with a big fallaway slam. Huguenaut pounds Minor in the corner with a series of European uppercuts. Prefect comes in to save his partner and the Gents whip Huguenaut into the ropes and go for a double elbowsmash, but Huguenaut ducks and comes back with a monster double clothesline. Dreadnaut comes and pitches Prefect out of the ring while Huguenaut his Minor with a crucifix power bomb for three.

Cpl. Punishment vs Frank Nowinski

The Corporal comes out to "The Marine Corps Hymn" and gets on the microphone to tell the audience they're a bunch of maggots. If the men in the audience were real men they'd be in uniform. Then he makes an enthnic slur about his Polish opponent. Classy.

The Corporal hits a gutbuster and a backbreaker then works an extended bearhug. Nowinski finally breaks free and hits a clotheslines. He tries a suplex, but Punishment blocks and hits his own. Cobra clutch is locked in and Nowinski quickly submits, but Punishment keeps it locked in until the ref threatens to reverse the decision. He drops the unconcious Nowinski to the mat.

Cpl. Punishment made Frank Nowinski submit to the Punishment Due in 0:03:12.

Scott Free vs "Strongman" Rick Samson

Samson is from Minnesota and was the top champion of a regional organization out there. He looks like an old-time carnival strongman, hence his nickname. Scott Free is a young newcomer whose gimmick is that he's a cheapskate.

Free does some classic heel stalling to start. Back and forth match with Samson trying to use his power whille Free uses a mix of his amateur wrestling background and appropriately cheap tactics. Free get an inside cradle for two. He gets cocky though allow Samson to hit a spinebuster and lock in an armbar which gets the submission. The crowd really wasn't into this one.

Rick Samson defeated Scott Free via submission to an armbar in 0:06:54.

WCWF World Tag Team Title Match: The Executioners vs Soul Train (c)

The Executioners are a couple of fat guys dressed like executioners. Soul Train are the first black tag team champions in WCWF history.

Skull and Black Belt Douglas start out. Douglas uses some martial arts, but Skull stops that with some big double axhandles so Douglas tags in Porkchop Jones. They do some good double team moves and Skull has to tag out. Crossbones comes in and hits a power bomb for two. Tag to Douglas. Crossbones clotheslines him over the top and they brawl on the floor. Back in Crossbones gets a bulldog for two and legdrop for two more. Tag to Jones and Soul Train again shows good teamwork. Porkchop and Crossbones brawl until Crossbones counters a flying shoulderblock with a powerslam for two. Jones becomes your face in peril, taking a beating in the heel corner. Skull and Crossbones hit The Execution (Demolition Decapitation), but it only gets two.

Hot tag to Douglas and he dishes out the kicks, but gets hit with a DDT for two to stop the comeback. Power bomb gets two for the heels. Douglas ducks a clothesline and comes back with more kung fu. Tag to Porkchop. Big flying shoulderblock on Skull sets up the Harlem Shuffle (scissor kick > flying fistdrop) for thr...not quite.

Desperation powerslam by Skull gets two. Crossbones distracts the ref, causing him to miss a low blow. Crossbones gets the tag and an inverted power bomb for two and a half. Porkchop escapes another Execution and makes the hot tag to Douglas. He tosses around he Executioners with some judo throws and they are finally looking winded. Douglas dishes out chops and kicks and finally hits the Crane Kick to end this.

That Harlem Shuffle should have been the finish, but the crowd was into the match.

Soul Train (Black Belt Douglas and Porkchop Jones) defeated The Executioners (Skull and Crossbones) when Douglas pinned Crossbones with the Crane Kick in 0:21:53.

WCWF United States Title match: Eddie Fargo vs Jammin' Jimmy Blast (c)

Fargo who is a cocky guy from Memphis with a famous strut. Blast is a young, but very promising southern wrestler. Fargo goes for a low blow almost immediately, but Blast blocks and it clotheslines him. Bodyslam and a kneedrop sets up the Figure Four, but Fargo blocks that. They brawl and trade chops. Fargo's back suplex is countered with a bulldog. Blast hits a superplex, but Fargo begs for mercy only to sucker Blast into a low blow but he can't capitalize. Double clothesline spot has both men down.

Blast recovers first and works the knee, but gets cradled for two. More brawling. Fargo hits a flying kneedrop for two. A second one misses. Blast punches, kicks, and chops Fargo into obvilion and hits the Gourdbuster for the win. The crowd liked it.

Jimmy Blast pinned Eddie Fargo with the Gourdbuster in 0:08:57.

WCWF World Heavyweight Title: Randy "The Ram" Robinson vs The Ayatollah (c)

The Ayatollah comes out as usual waving the Iranian flag. He won the World Title back in 1980 during the height of the Iranian hostage crisis and has been the dominant heel champion of WCWF ever since. Ayatollah has faced and defeated pretty much all of the big names from the 1970s, and most haven't been seen since. Nobody has ever escaped his devastating Camel Clutch. It became clear to the fans last year that it was going to take someone new who could rise to the challenge. Enter Randy Robinson. The bleach-blonde muscular wrestler is young, popular, and hungry for success. He speaks with a geniune passion for wrestling, the humility of a work-class background, and pride in America that has resonated with fans. Combined with his winning streak during his nearly one year in the company it was no surprise that the WCWF Board of Directors signed this match. This isn't just the main event of the first Superclash, this is THE super clash!

The crowd comes unglued as "Metal Health" by Quiet Riot brings out the challenger, slapping hands with the fans and soaking up the cheers. The Iranian National Anthem is met with thunderous boos for the champion. Robinson goes for a big boot early, but Ayatollah ducks and hits a couple suplexes, followed by various submissions, not all of them legal.

Randy fights out of a bearhug and hits a back suplex. Power bomb gets two. A big legdrop misses. Ayatollah chokes away. Gutwrench suplex and more choking as the dastardly Iranian makes the most of the referee's five-count. Ayatollah finally goes for a cover, hoping he's taken the wind out of Robinson, but only gets two. And then he locks in the dreaded Camel Clutch! Robinson refuses to quit, but he's close enough to the ropes that he can reach one to save himself.

Robinson mounts a comeback. Clothesline, big boot, and a powerslam put The Ayatollah down. Randy climbs to the top rope, gives the signal, and comes flying off with his big diving headbutt, the Ram Jam...

...Ayatollah rolls out of the way! He puts the boots to Robinson and goes for a headlock, but Randy hit a back suplex to counter. Dropkick misses. Two gutwrench suplexes by the Ayatollah get two. Ayatollah tries to drag Randy around by his long blonde hair, but Robinson kicks him in the stomach. Piledriver gets two. Randy goes for another piledriver or power bomb, but Ayatalloh nails him with a low blow. Back suplex from the champion, into a bridge...1...2...3no!

Camel Clutch, this time in the middle of the ring should spell the end. Robinson struggles then looks like he might have passed out. The ref checks the arm: it falls, it falls again, it stays up! The crowd starts chanting "Randy!" and the challenger summons one last burst of energy...and breaks out of the Camel Clutch! The announcers can't believe it. The Ayatollah can't believe it. The crowd is on their feet going crazy!

The Ayatolloh goes for the Iranian flag, intent on using the flagpole as a weapon, clearly not concerned with the risk of disqualification after this turn of events. Robinson is up though and when the Ayatollah turns around with the flag he's met with a kick to the mid section. Several more follow then Robinson grabs the flag, snaps the flagpole over his knee, and throws it out of the ring. Big bodyslam and Randy heads to the top again. Ram Jam connects: 1...2...3!!!

Randy Robinson pinned The Ayatollah with the Ram Jam in 0:15:14.

(Randy Robinson won the WCWF World Heavyweight Title.)

Robinson raises the World Title in triumph as the crowd chants his name. Confetti rains down from the ceiling and many of the face wrestlers come out of the locker room to celebrate with him, culminating in The Jolly Green Giant effortlessly hoisting Robinson onto his shoulder.
