[edit]

Russian Assassins (1988–1989)

[edit]

Jack Victory made his debut for the NWA on September 23, 1988, at house show in Frederick, MD. Wrestling under a mask as "The Russian Assassin #2, he faced Brad Armstrong. After wrestling on various house shows in singles competition, he united with a masked Dave Sheldon as The Russian Assassins. The new duo made their debut on October 7 at a taping for NWA Pro, defeating Ivan Koloff and Nikita Koloff via disqualification. Managed by Paul Jones, the Assassins would face the Koloffs in numerous house shows in the fall. Their first loss came on October 21 in Detroit, MI when they were defeated by Ivan & Nikita.

On the November 12, 1988 edition of NWA Worldwide the Russian Assassins entered a tournament to claim the vacated NWA United States Tag Team Championship but fought the Koloffs to a double countout. The feud continued until the end of November at which point Nikita took a sabbatical from the promotion. At Clash of Champions IV in Chattanooga, TN on December 7 Ivan Koloff faced Paul Jones in a singles match. After Ivan pinned the manager, both Russian Assassins stormed the ring and attacked Koloff. The newly signed Junkyard Dog made the save, leading the feud to transition to matches against Koloff and Dog. Victory made his PPV debut on December 26, 1988, at Starrcade 88, where the Assassins defeated Koloff and the Junkyard Dog.[19]

The Russian Assassins entered 1989 being booked into matches with a wider variety of opponents. At a house show on January 8 in Greensboro, NC the Assassins were defeated by The Midnight Express. Three days later they were beaten by the new team of Steve Doll & Scott Peterson at a house show in Seattle, WA, and again a day later at Portland, OR. Victory and Sheldon rebounded to defeat The Junkyard Dog & Ivan Koloff on January 13 in Las Vegas, and would defeat them on several additional house shows in January. The January 28, 1989 edition of Worldwide saw The Junkyard Dog team with Michael Hayes to defeat The Russian Assassins via disqualification. Victory would find himself wrestling twice at Clash of Champions V on February 15, 1989, in Cleveland, OH. The Russian Assassins opened the show in a match against The Midnight Express. Later in the night Victory wrestled in singles competition. Appearing as "The Blackmailer" and managed by Hiro Matsuda, he faced Lex Luger and was defeated.

That Clash marked the end of the Russian Assassins tag-team, although he would continue to don the Assassins mask in singles competition. Victory was recast as "Secret Service" Jack Victory, a pseudo agent charged with protecting new manager Paul E Dangerously Paul Heyman. On February 20, 1989, at the Chi-Town Rumble PPV he again wrestled twice. First he donned the mask and competed as "Russian Assassin #1", falling to Michael Hayes. In his second match, he replaced the departed Dennis Condrey to team with Randy Rose & Paul E Dangerously in a losing effort against The Midnight Express & Jim Cornette in a losing team leaves the NWA match.[20]

In March 1989 he continued to perform under two characters - Russian Assassin #2 and "Secret Service" Jack Victory.

In April he transitioned to competing as Secret Service exclusively. Victory faced Lex Luger at Clash of Champions VI on April 2, 1989, in the SuperDome in a match that was bumped from the live airing due to the card going long (the match would ultimately be shown on the next episode of World Championship Wrestling. On the April 15th edition of NWA Worldwide he received a non-title match against NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ricky Steamboat, but was pinned. On the same day on World Championship Wrestling, Victory pinned Randy Rose.

New Zealand Militia / Royal Family (1989–1991)

[edit]

On the April 22, 1989 episode of World Championship Wrestling he teamed with Rip Morgan for the first time, but the new duo was defeated by Randy Rose and Ranger Ross. On the May 13th edition of World Championship Wrestling he unsuccessfully challenged Sting for the NWA World Television Championship. On the June 10th edition he dropped the "Secret Service" character and instead formed an official team with Rip Morgan. Now known as The New Zealand Militia,[3][20] they faced The Dynamic Dudes (Shane Douglas & Johnny Ace) in the quarterfinals of a tournament to crown new NWA World Tag Team Champions.

Victory competed once more under a match on June 14, 1989, at Clash of Champions VII in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Wrestling as "The Terrorist", he was defeated by Ranger Ross.[23] After this he began teaming with Morgan full-time, facing the Dynamic Dudes and Ding Dongs in a series of house show matches. On the August 5th edition of World Championship Wrestling Sting & Eddie Gilbert defeated Victory & Morgan via disqualification after Terry Funk and The Great Muta attacked Sting. A day later on The Main Event the Militia were defeated by The Midnight Express. They rebounded on August 12 on NWA Pro to defeat The Dynamic Dudes, and on August 14 at a TV taping in Charleston WV the Milita would defeat Ranger Ross & Scott Hall.

As the summer concluded The New Zealand Militia transitioned to a house show series with the newly formed Steiner Brothers, but were unsuccessful in numerous matches. In September they resumed their feud with the Dynamic Dudes and would later move on to a house show series with The Road Warriors where they were winless. On the November 19th edition of Main Event they were defeated by Sting & Brian Pillman. Lord Littlebrook came to ringside, scolded Victory and Morgan, and said that if they were to listen to him he would take them to the top.

On Clash of Champions IX in Troy, NY on November 15 he donned a mask yet again, this time competing as "The Super Destroyer. He faced Steve Williams and was defeated. Maskless again, on the November 25th edition of World Championship Wrestling the Milita appeared with Lord Littlebrook for the first time and defeated Ricky Nelson & Mike Jackson. A week later they would defeat Carl Nelson & Mike Thor.

On March 30, 1990, the Royal Family defeated The Fantastics in Lynchburg, VA. The Royal Family defeated Rick Ryder & Rocky King on the May 19th episode of World Championship Wrestling; after this Victory temporarily left the promotion to compete in South Atlantic Pro Wrestling.[26]

Victory returned to reform The Royal Family on December 16, 1990. WCW held the "Pat O'Connor International Tag Team Tournament" as part of the 1990 Starrcade with eight teams representing various countries. The storyline was that the Royal Family had won a tournament in Australia to earn the rights to represent Australia and New Zealand; in reality none of the teams had won qualifying tournaments. Victory and Morgan lost to "Team Japan" (Masa Saito and The Great Muta) in the first round of the tournament.[27][28] On February 24, 1991, the Royal Family competed at the WrestleWar 91 PPV, losing to The Young Pistols.

On May 10 at a house show in Cincinnati, Ohio the Royal Family lost in an upset to Ron Cumberledge & Brad Armstrong, and a day later fell to The Junkyard Dog & Sam Houston. Now mired in a long losing streak, the Royal Family ended its WCW run with a defeat to Tom Zenk & The Junkyard Dog.[30]
