2/3 NWA Anarchy Report
By: Larry Goodman
NWA Anarchy taped two hours of television Saturday night in Cornelia, Georgia. In the ring, it turned out to be an extremely average show. In fairness, it was intended to be more of a set up and storyline advancement deal, and with Salvatore Rinauro, Seth Delay, and the Mack Brothers booked elsewhere, the card was lacking some of the first string talent to begin with. Then, there was the matter of key talent canceling out, which required last minute rebooking of several matches.
The 165 in attendance at the NWA Arena was the quietest crowd of that size in recent memory. The crowd reaction was different as opposed to negative. The people appeared to be keenly interested in what they were seeing. They popped for the big spots, but there was no consistent heat outside of the main event.
Mary, “The Anarchy Angel,” was introduced looking fine as always. She doesn’t seem to have much to do once the show starts, and is that ever a crime.
Ring announcer Eddie Rich introduced Justice Served and their newly acquired representation, Al Getz. This was the fashion plate version of Getz, complete with the latest edition of the Wall Street Journal. The bleacher fans chanted “Al’s my hero.”
Getz cut a promo explaining the motives for his return to Anarchy. Getz claimed that there would be no Anarchy if it wasn’t for him. He and Sal Rinauro should start a club. Getz said that after telling him he couldn’t do it without him, Jerry Palmer stole all his ideas and then kicking him to the curb. Getz said Urban Assault Squad couldn’t get the job done, so Palmer brought in Justice Served. Getz said Palmer sided with UAS when he was supposed to be an impartial referee (at Season’s Beatings), so Palmer had screwed them, too. Getz said UAS would still be curtain jerkers if not for him. Getz said UAS were like Oreos, black on the outside but white on the inside. Getz said there would be no rematch for UAS, and Palmer was in for an ass whipping. “We’re here for justice, and one way or another, justice will be served.” Getz got into a heated discussion with a girl in the first row. The fans were hot to see them go at it, hotter than they were for many of the matches.
On the WrestleVision screen, Patrick Bentley was backstage in a state of emotional torment. Bentley talked about the betrayal of his trust, first by Seth Delay and then by Adrian Hawkins. “You made me mad. Big mistake.” The combination of low audio and loud Poodles made it impossible to make out much of what Bentley was saying, so it wasn’t very effective. This was unfortunate because it was described as being an outstanding promo. I guess we will have to wait for the TV version.
(1) Brodie Ray Chase & Brandon Phoenix beat Andrew Pendleton III & Venis DeMarco in 8:35. DeMarco was in from APW California along with the Bloodline team in match #2. The crowd was split on Chase and Phoenix. They didn’t care one way or the other about the other guys. Pendleton was getting the advantage on Phoenix, so BRC told him to put the brakes on. Chase took over, but he got too cocky and ate a couple of dropkicks. Just lulling the jibronis into a false sense of security I guess. Chase hit a swinging side slam for a near fall and the heat was on. Chase beat up Pendleton on the outside. Phoenix hit an exploder suplex. Phoenix paid the price for telegraphing a backdrop. Pendleton made the tag. DeMarco got very little offense before he was cut off by an Ace crusher by Chase. Phoenix pinned him with an STO.
(2) Urban Assault Squad (Shadow Jackson & Nemesis) squashed Bloodline (Michael Rayne & Billy Blade) in 3:48. Hot opening. UAS made a beeline for the ring and laid out Bloodline before the bell. “I’m servin’ justice,” said Nemesis. The crowd ate it up. Bloodline got in a double team hotshot and that was about it. Nemesis hit a double underhook suplex and used the old Wildside foot tag. Jackson smoked Blade with a chokeslam. Nemesis pinned Rayne with a slice ‘n dice top rope kneedrop.
UAS cut a promo on Justice Served. Jackson said they lost the title because he wasn’t mean enough. Nemesis said he wasn’t gorilla enough. Jackson said they were going back to the old ways. Nemesis brought out the nooses. Jackson said it was time to hang some crackers. The crowd was down with that. “Justice is served, and it’s gonna be served cold.”
(3) Devils Rejects (Iceberg & Shaun Tempers & Dominous) vs. NWA Elite (Onyx & Jeff Lewis & Abomination) ended as a no contest in around 13 minutes. “The Rev” Dan Wilson and Jeff G. Bailey were barred from ringside. This match didn’t have much heat, as fans seem torn between the two factions. Referee Harold James continues to get a pop from the Poodles. Dominous and Abomination, the two masked monsters, never took their eyes off each other. Onyx got knocked on his ass by Iceberg’s shoulder blocks. His punches had no effect. But Onyx got the superman spot, where he fought of Tempers’ interference to hit a belly-to-belly suplex on Iceberg. The big man bailed. Lewis put into high gear against Tempers, but he ended up ramming shoulder-first into the turnbuckles. Rejects picked the shoulder apart. Iceberg used the Thigh Drop of Doom and flying headbutt to the shoulder. Tempers hit a divorce court for a near fall. Iceberg clubbed Onyx. Onyx hit a colossal powerslam on Berg. Four-way pandemonium ensued at ringside. Dominous and Abomination entered the ring for the first time. The two giants squared off. They cast the ref aside. Iceberg wacked Abomination in the back with two stout chairshots. Abomination didn’t even flinch. When Abomination turned his attention towards Berg, Dominous signaled for the chokeslam, but Wilson ran to ringside screaming. “Not now!”
But without Bailey to rein him in, Abomination was out of control. He destroyed both of his partners with tree slams. Job guys started hitting the ring. Abomination laid out Chris King and two unknown trainees. Security tried to surround him but they were just asking for it. Even Rodeo got knocked down. Finally, Abomination stormed out the front door, fans scattering in his wake. Onyx and Lewis needed help getting to the back.
Intermission.
(4) Azrael (with “The Rev” Dan Wilson) pinned Austin Creed with the Green Manalishi with the Three Pronged Crown. This was changed to singles because Hayden Young called in sick. Creed didn’t get much offense before Azrael cut him off. Azrael dropped an elbow for two. Wilson said Creed had no chance. Azrael applied a choke submission where he had Creed’s arm wrapped around his own throat. Wilson told Creed to go back to that crappy movie of his. Azrael went for the running facecrusher knee, but Creed flipped him over the top rope. Creed brought Azrael back inside the hardway for a near fall. Wilson provided distraction. Azrael used a roll up with the handful of tights, but Creed kicked out and got an inside cradle for a near fall. Wilson tried to interject himself again, and Creed decked him with the Montefisto. That got a pop. But Azrael capitalized by demolishing Creed with his cutthroat piledriver to score the pinfall. Wilson was checking for loose teeth after the match.
(5) Adrian Hawkins beat Kid USA in 7:49. Hawkins is a babyface no more. With that distinctive superstar stance and the diminutive yet chiseled physique, Kid USA looked vaguely familiar. He garnered mild USA chants. Kid extended his hand and Hawkins kicked him in the gut. They traded pin attempts. Kid blitzed Hawkins with a flurry of offense leading to an Oklahoma roll. Hawkins nailed Kid with an elbow on the break. Kid came right back with a dropkick and a monkey flip and climbed to the top. But Hawkins shoved referee Wesley Grissom into the ropes to upend him. Hawkins heeled. The crowd was split on Hawkins here. Hawkins cut off Kid’s comeback attempts and applied a surfboard. Kid made a full-fledged aerial comeback. Kid pulled the straps down and hit a middle rope legdrop to the back of Hawkins neck. Kid donned his cape and flew from the top with a splash. Nobody home. Finish saw Hawkins use Grissom as a shield to set up a sucker punch and an Unprettier for the three count.
The lights went out. The lights came on momentarily illuminating Bentley in the ring. Lights out again. Lights on and Bentley was nowhere to be found. Hawkins got freaked out and checked under the ring.
(6) Phil Shatter beat Adam Roberts in 4:19. Match was made into a singles because Jason Blackman wasn’t there. It turned into a heatless attempt to get Shatter over as a babyface. Shatter outpowered and outwrestled Roberts. Shatter avoided a high knee and used a nice fist drop for a near fall. The action spilled to the outside where Roberts rammed Shatter into the ringsteps. Roberts threw a chop, and Shatter went down on the hardwood floor like he had been shot. Ouch. Shatter fired back with gutshots. Shatter hit a nice spinebuster that got scattered applause. Shatter went for a DVD. Roberts raked the eyes and got Shatter up for his finisher. Shatter countered with a small package.
Postmatch, Chase and Phoenix attacked Shatter. Truitt Fields rescued his partner, but he paused to play to the camera and Roberts clubbed his foolish ass. Chase and Phoenix proceeded to leave both Fields and Shatter laying with their Ace crusher/STO combo.
In a true Bert Prentice moment, Rich announced that hot dogs were now available for $1 at the concession stand.
(7) Ace Rockwell & Slim J beat Chad Parham & Jeremy Vain when Rockwell pinned the NWA Anarchy champion Parham at 11:03. Now for this the crowd got HOT. I should hope so with the most beloved babyfaces and the most hated heels in the company. Great spot early in the match where Rockwell gave V six straight arm drags with J adding a seventh. J went for the submission with a cross armbreaker and a Kimura. The heels used chicanery to get the advantage on Rockwell but not for long. V then did a number on J’s gut and the almighty f****** Parham graced us with his presence. 15 count vertical suplex and a powerslam for near falls. Parham and V busted out a sweet double gordbuster for a near fall. J’s huracanrana made it a genuinely hot tag. Rockwell hit a pescado on Parham. Rockwell was on fire. J hit his flying reverse DDT on V but Parham saved. Rockwell and Parham each blocked other guy’s finisher. Parham almost got Rockwell for the three count. Rockwell turned Parham’s momentum into a pinning combination, and V couldn’t get there for the save. Megapop for the finish. Supbar stuff on the undercard matters so much less when the main event comes through like this one did.
Palmer came out and made the title matches for 2/17. Palmer said it didn’t matter what Parham wanted. Palmer said Rockwell would get to choose Parham’s opponent in the heavyweight title match, AND Parham would decide Rockwell’s opponent for his TV title defense. Palmer advised them to choose wisely.
NOTES: Along with the above, 2/17 has the debut of Hollywood Brunettes and the return of Texas Treats…Wilson received high marks for his work at the IWA Mid-South show. Wilson did commentary as well as managing Tank & Tempers…Jason Blackman, Hayden Young and Tank canceled due to illnesses…Seth Delay and Salvatore Rinauro were in Florida for FIP…NWA Anarchy will return to the NWA Arena for their next major show, Hardcore Hell on 3/31…APW ran their first show at their new home in Royston on 2/2. They drew 75, which was better than they had generally been doing in Bowman. Blackman was stripped of the APW title to set up a battle royal on 2/9 with the final survivors to meet in a title match.
NWA Anarchy TV Report
Episode 48
January 29, 2006
Congratulations to MsChif for capturing the NWA Women's Title from Christie Ricci. She should make a great champ.
WRESTLING: (n.) \’res-ling\ A sport of contest in which two individuals face off in unarmed combat.
ANARCHY: (n.) \an-ar-key\ (1) A state of lawlessness due to absence of authority. (2) A complete lack of order.
What happens when you mix the two together? NWA-Anarchy!
- This most certainly doesn’t look like a very friendly fight. The Urban Assault Squad and Justice Served are brawling in the parking lot and the whole locker room has to head out to separate both teams. What a way to start Anarchy.
- Welcome to another edition of NWA Anarchy. Last week the NWA Tag Champs got into a whacky fight with Justice Served. Johnson rejoices in the Lord because Todd Sexton has been indefinitely suspended. Lord have mercy on Johnson’s soul. This week on Anarchy we have a pair of rematches from Fright Night 2006, TC Carnage battles Adam Roberts and Jeff Lewis defends the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title against Slim J in a submission only match.
- Before we even start the match, Dan Wilson is dressed in street clothes. Holy #####! Today is Wilson’s birthday and the crowd celebrates. He admits to disappointing fans and has a lot of personal home issues: his wife left him (no wonder he wants slit your doggie’s throat) and he went bankrupt (so maybe somebody’s grandmother embezzled his money and wants to slap her dentures out). He proclaims the war is over. OK, as a fan, I’m beginning to get suspicious about Dan Wilson; some evil plot has to be brewing tonight. He admits that Jerry Palmer deserves to be owner of Anarchy after all the hell he has put him through. I’m still not buying this. Wilson is leaving, but some fans don’t want him to leave. He has one thing to finish before he is done in Anarchy. I guess that would be to wipe out one attorney/agent Jeff G Bailey.
1. Adrian Hawkins vs. Seth Delay
THE MATCH: Johnson says that Bentley suffered from a coroneted artery last week after Onyx slapped on the full nelson and that is the reason Delay threw the white towel in. You know the coroneted artery is not a condition. LOL! Jacob Ashworth is the referee and as usual Johnson hurls insults at him. This time Johnson accuses Ashworth of needing an abacus to count to three. That’s low. Oh, wait a minute Onyx is a cruiserweight. That’s even lower. OK, the match itself is pretty good, but the crowd doesn’t seem to respond to a battle of two faces until late in the match. Delay clotheslines Hawkins over the top rope to the floor. Earlier in the contest, Hawkins held the ropes so that Delay could reenter the ring. Delay returns the favor, but adds some spike to the pinch with a DDT for the victory.
WINNER: Seth Delay.
COMMENTS: The seeds continue to be sowed for Delay’s soon to be heel turn. It’s time he received a singles push.
RATING: *½
2. Adam Roberts vs. TC Carnage
THE MATCH: Carnage runs out of the locker room and unleashes Holy Hell on Roberts. Johnson admits that he is grammatically incorrect and visually challenged. Carnage continues to run buck wild all over Roberts until the referee stops him. Roberts pulls out a pair of brass knux and outsmarts Carnage with a rollup after commandeering the knux. It seems like Carnage doesn’t have any good luck when he battles his tag partner.
RESULT: Adam Roberts.
COMMENTS: Old school wrestling is still in effect. This was short, but had a fun ending.
RATING: *
3. Truitt & Shatter vs. Hayden Young & Austin Creed
THE MATCH: Young & Creed begin the action with dualing tope suicidas on Truitt & Shatter. I’m surprised Johnson didn’t try to throw in a taco quesadilla reference here. Creed tags in and launches off the top rope with a long fistdrop for a two count. They Men in Orange immediately take over with a bodysplash and knee combo. Creed fires back with a rolling clothesline for a near fall. Truitt counters with a facebuster into a spinning neckbreaker for a near fall. Creed plays the face in peril until he lands a top rope bodypress. Young receives the hot tag and makes Truitt feel like Superman as he goes flying to the floor. Creed unleashes a flurry of punches on Fields and Young finishes him off with the Flying Squirrel frogsplash for the win.
WINNER: Young & Creed.
COMMENTS: Young & Creed got a deafening face pop when they headed out. The fans definitely love them. It’s good to see them get a clean win. I’ve seen Truitt & Shatter outside of Anarchy once and am impressed with them. They will definitely fit in Anarchy once the fans become familiar with them.
RATING: *
- Jeff G Bailey and his champion Jeff Lewis have scheduled a public service announcement tonight. Bailey is reveling in the humiliation of a vanquished foe after Lewis forced Slim J to submit to his own move. Bailey calls Lewis the brightest star, magnetic, luminous and incandescent. What a way to describe the heavyweight champion. Bailey anoints Lewis… the submission expert. Now it appears that our interview is over, but Wilson gets the bright idea, no pun intended (so I lied), that he has something to say to Bailey. Wilson admits that Bailey is his mentor and thanks him for everything he has done. They shake hands and DAN WILSON TRANSFORMS BACK INTO KEVIN SULLIVAN MODE~! Like I said, I smell evil. Wilson goes back into his vicious tone and accuses of Bailey’s former clients, AJ Styles & Abyss, of foiling his plans at fright Night 2006. Wilson says that the new dog might need to take Bailey behind the shed and put a bullet in his head! Oh, God, this is a five star interview. Bailey snaps at Wilson, but Tempers and Azreal grabs him. Wilson pulls out the ether rag and sends Bailey straight to the Dark Abyss. Oh, Wilson is as evil as ever and he leaves Bailey slobbering like an adder. To Wilson, there’s no greater evil than extracting revenge and making sure that Bailey is not able to second his client at ringside. TEN STAR INTERVEW~!
4. NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title, submission only match: Jeff Lewis (ch.) w/Jeff G. Bailey vs. Slim J
THE MATCH: Well, the rules are simple here, there are no pinfalls and you must make your opponent submit. I can’t believe what I am hearing; Greg Hunter says that we owe Jeff G Bailey for bringing in Abyss. Johnson criticizes the NWA Board of Directors, but he changes his attitude when Hunter by subtly hinting they could fire him. Johnson switches gears in mid-flight and sucks up to the Board like a straw. The crowd trade dualing “Let’s go Lewis” and “Let’s go Slim” chants. Johnson reminds us that Slim J is 60 pounds under the heavyweight level stipulation. Hunter counters that Cassius Clay aka Mohammed Ali aka the Champ Is Here never fought as a true heavyweight because he weighed under 200 lbs and was outweighed by most of his opponents. Well, that’s something I never knew. Guess this dog learned something new today. Slim J gains the early advantage by slapping on various submissions on Lewis’s arm. Lewis steals Slim in the face. Meanwhile, Johnson accuses Hunter of drinking too much Grey Goose when he compares the circumstances surrounding Slim J and Ali. You know I could go along with some vodka right about now, but I think I’ll teetotal it until after Anarchy goes off. Slim fights back with a clothesline and returns to working over Lewis’s arm. Slim wins a fist fight with Lewis, but falls prey to a powerslam. After a commercial break, Lewis slaps on a painful looking submission. The Feature Presentation focuses his attack on Slim’s back, which causes the ladies to beg Lewis to show mercy. Slim slaps on an ankle lock. The crowd commands Lewis to tap, but he refuses to tap and takes over with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. The crowd continues to insult Lewis by saying that he sucks, but he laughs by slapping on a chinlock. Moments later, Bailey stumbles to the arena and pulls out a chair to sit in. After delivering a back suplex, Lewis stunned to find Bailey is literally knocked out. Slim takes advantage of the situation with a short arm clothesline and slaps on a triangle choke. Lewis reaches it to the ropes to break the hold. Meanwhile, Bailey crawls to ringside, but collapses at the ring apron. Lewis slaps on a bridging chinlock, but Slim makes it to the ropes. Lewis sits Slim on the top turnbuckle and pounds on him. Lewis sets up for a superplex, but Slim tosses him aside. Slim lands a cross bodyblock and slaps on a butterfly lock, but Lewis forces the break. Slim bounces off the ropes and wins by switching a Sunset flip into the Roach Clip to obtain the tap out victory.
RESULTS: Slim J captures the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title and first Grand Slam champion.
COMMENTS: This match appeared to come off better live than on television. It was well fought and had good submission wrestling. It also got across the point that Lewis desperately needs Bailey at ringside for him to have any chance of winning.
RATING: **½
- OVERALL: The seeds were planted a little while back when Palmer took Bailey aside. The Rejects vs. the NWA Elite should be feud of the year for 2007. There are quite a few major storylines that were established tonight to help build up to Season’s Beatings 2006. Johnson’s lunacy was so funny, it caused Hunter to break character a few times.

On March 17th, 2007, the National Wrestling Alliance's Midwest branch
will welcome its newest member into the fold, as Fight Sports Midwest
will present its debut event in Portage, Indiana! The Camelot
Sportsplex, located at 5201 U.S. Highway 6, just 40 minutes outside of
Chicago, will be home to the birth of Fight Sports Midwest, beginning at
7:00 PM that night.
FSM isn't around to make ridiculous claims about "taking over any
scenes" or "changing the foundation of wrestling". All we promise to
you, the wrestling fan, is to bring you professional wrestling shows
that will not insult your intelligence while bringing you your
hard-earned money's worth in hard-hitting competition and entertainment.
We do thank NWA Midwest, all of its members, and its President, the
honorable Ed Chuman, for allowing us to come into the fold and hopefully
we can do all of the members, Mr. Chuman, and the entire National
Wrestling Alliance proud with the competition and battles bred in the
ring of Fight Sports Midwest.
As of right now, we have announced five matches for the inaugural event
on March 17th, including what should be a ridiculously hard-hitting main
event, as TNA Superstar and the longest-reigning Ring of Honor World
Champion of all-time, Samoa Joe, will face former Combat Zone Wrestling
Heavyweight Champion, "The Last of a Dying Breed" Eddie Kingston for the
first time ever!
Samoa Joe made a quick name for himself on the West Coast independent
scene soon after debuting, tearing through everyone who came through his
path. Before even leaving his home state of California, he became the
longest-reigning Ultimate Pro Wrestling Champion of all-time, defeating
a man who would become a future in-ring enemy of his in Christopher
Daniels, as well as scoring a victory over current ECW Extremist Tommy
Dreamer. He made his mark on the East Coast wrestling scene soon
thereafter, fighting Low Ki in what was considered to be, at the time,
one of the hardest-hitting bouts to ever take place in the fledgling
Ring of Honor promotion, a Fight Without Honor at ROH's first Glory By
Honor event in October of 2002. Joe won the ROH World Title from Xavier
in March 2003 and proceeded to hold that belt longer than any other man
since, going through grapplers such as Jay Briscoe, Homicide, AJ Styles,
Colt Cabana, "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, and CM Punk to help
legitimize that belt as one of the top titles in pro wrestling today.
From there, Joe went on to take TNA by storm, going undefeated for over
sixteen months and winning their X-Division Title in the same calendar
year that he debuted. Samoa Joe is one of the most respected and feared
competitors to grace a professional wrestling ring in quite some time.
His opponent, Eddie Kingston, took a much different path to this
contest. While Joe came up through some of the best gyms and dojos in
the country, Kingston made due on the streets in "The Home of the
Brave", The Bronx, New York. He eventually ending up in the Chikara
Wrestle Factory, where he was trained by "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush
and Reckless Youth. Kingston started off his career as an exclusive tag
team wrestler, teaming with long-time friend "Black" Jack Marciano. The
two formed one of the most successful teams in promotion history, The
Wildcards. At one point, the two held the IWA Mid-South Tag Team
Championship, defeating both Tank & Iceberg and the then-champions, Brad
Bradley & Ryan Boz, in a three-way bout at the 2004 Ted Petty
Invitiational weekend. Unfortunately, Marciano suffered a career-ending
knee injury, ending the Wildcards' reign of success on the independents.
Kingston went on to join Blackout in Combat Zone Wrestling, alongside
Sabian, Ruckus, Joker, and manager "Primo" Robby Mireno, to which he is
a member to this day. As a member of Blackout, he both won the CZW Tag
Team Titles with Joker, as well as defeated a man whose path has crossed
with Kingston's way too many times for comfort, in Chris Hero, to win
the CZW Heavyweight Title on a memorial show for the late Chris Cash in
September 2006. Outside of CZW, Kingston overcame some of the
hardest-hitting competitors on the independent pro wrestling scene to
win three matches in a row and the 2006 IWA Mid-South Revolution Strong
Style Tournament. Kingston also just concluded one of the most violent
feuds in the history of Chikara, as he battled "Sweet 'n' Sour" Larry
Sweeney all over the state of Pennsylvania, concluding with a
Yellowbelly Strap Match as Chikara's year-end event, "Talent Borrows,
Genius Steals".
Though these two share very different paths to the successes they've
achieved in professional wrestling, they share a common tendency to be
dangerous strikers in the squared circle. The accolades and
championships held between the two men would practically fill a book! On
March 17th in Portage, these two bulls of very different woods will
collide to determine the dominance of one in the world of pro wrestling!
You can check out a preview video we've made for this massive battle
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO5iwsI0qFQ (We hope to get a
director's account in the next few days, in which case the video will
also be loaded on there).
ALSO ON THE CARD...
Getting his start in the Midwest, Austin Aries rose through the
independent scene like a bullet in 2004, going for relative obscurity to
becoming a finalist in the prestigious East Coast Wrestling
Association's Super Eight Tournament, then gaining a regular roster spot
with Ring of Honor as a member of Generation Next before capping off his
break-out year by becoming the only man in almost two years to defeat
Samoa Joe, gaining his first ROH World Title. Since then he, along with
his partner Roderick Strong, became the longest-reigning ROH World Tag
Team Champions as well as becoming a featured player on Spike TV's TNA
Impact program on Thursday nights.
One young man whose career currently looks to be modelling the beginning
of Aries' meteoric rise is Josh Abercrombie, who much like Aries did,
has been burning up in the Midwestern independent scene for the past two
years, first exclusively in the Michigan independents and then going on
to become the longest-reigning IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Champion,
a belt that Aries challenged for at one point, but could not obtain.
Abercrombie has torn through almost any light heavyweight who's come in
his way, such as Jamie Noble (Gibson), Delirious, Matt Sydal, Jerry
Lynn, Tyler Black, and Ruckus. Rarely in the past year has Josh met his
match in the squared circle.
On March 17th, 2007, in Portage, IN at the Camelot Sportsplex, these two
dominant junior heavyweights will collide! Josh Abercrombie will face
Austin Aries!
Here's a preview video that's been made for this upcoming bout:

PLUS...
The independent wrestling world has been a-buzz since this past Saturday
night, as the word has leaked that Claudio Castagnoli's negotiations
with World Wrestling Entertainment had hit a snag, and at least for the
time being, he wouldn't be signing. Castagnoli has exploded in every
promotion he's set foot in since his return to America in Fall 2004, as
fans, wrestlers, and promoters alike can't help but see the immense
wrestling ability that Claudio possesses. That ability has also led
Claudio to becoming one-half of the first Independent Triple Crown Tag
Team Champions, as for a period of time this fall, he and ex-partner
Chris Hero held the Combat Zone Wrestling Tag Team Championship, Ring of
Honor Tag Team Championship, and the Chikara Campeons de Parajas
simultaniously, a feat many teams can only dream of. On March 17th,
Claudio comes into Fight Sports Midwest alone, with a massive test
standing in front of him...
His opponent has dominated the tag team scene in the Southeastern region
of America for the better part of five years now, holding Wildside tag
team gold on five different occasions with three different partners,
then becoming NWA Anarchy Tag Team Champions with fellow Devil's Reject
"The Sleeper Cell" Shaun Tempers. He and long-time tag team partner
Iceberg are also consistantly in the tag title hunt in Alabama-based
promotion IWA Deep South. That's not to say he hasn't been a prominent
singles competitor, as he burst onto the deathmatch scene at the 2004
IWA Mid-South King of the Deathmatches in Oolitic, Indiana, following
that up with strong showings in the next two KOTDM's, as well as winning
IWA Deep South's Carnage Cup in 2005. He's also proven himself as a
worthy grappler, putting in excellent performances in singles bouts with
competitors such as Ian Rotten, Ryan Boz, and Brad Bradley, all
sanctioned under National Wrestling Alliance rules.
On March 17th, Reverend Dan Wilson will lead his monster into
competition, as it will be "The Strong Style Psycho" Tank going
head-to-head with "Double C" Claudio Castagnoli!
JUST SIGNED...
Since the fall of 2003, "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon has been a staple of
the Midwestern independent scene, competing in four consecutive Ted
Petty Invitationals, including winning the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight
Championship from Petey Williams in the 2004 tournament, and being a
finalist in the 2006 competition. Cannon was sidelined with a collarbone
injury during the fall of 2004, right after winning the IWA Title, but
came back and won the belt once again, this time from Jimmy Jacobs, in
January 2006.
The success he's garnered has led to MTV's new wrestling promotion
Wrestling Society X recruiting him as one of the stars of their program.
During his travels to Los Angeles, he's had to deal with one of WSX's
top tag teams, Do It For Her, consisting of the previously-mentioned
Jimmy Jacobs and a man whose path had never previously crossed with
Cannon's directly, in Tyler Black.
Black exploded very early in his career, winning the IWA Mid-South Light
Heavyweight Championship just months after his debut match. His feud
with Josh Abercrombie for that belt, which included a brutal TLC match
and a 30-Minute Iron Man Tables match that saw Tyler dive off of a
basketball goal at one point, is one of the more talked-about rivalries
in recent IWA history. Ever since that feud, Tyler's been touted by many
fans and experts as being a can't-miss future star in professional
wrestling, as he has great size for a junior heavyweight, has proven to
be skilled beyond his years, and can adapt to any style, as proven by
the vicious battle he had with former partner Marek Brave in a
barbed-wire match at All-American Wrestling's "Windy City Classic II"
event in November.
Though Tyler and Cannon had shared a locker room many times before in
the Midwest, tempers really flared at Wrestling Society X, where there
was more of an on-screen emphasis on the cultural lifestyles of the
competitors. The heat really esculated when Cannon, a devout follower of
the punk rock sub-culture, privately aired his distaste with Tyler's
preference for emo music, which he sees as a less-masculine bastard
child of the music that he loves. Of course, Black didn't take kindly to
those words, and a rivalry of bickering has taken place, although due to
not being around one another much due to physical location, they haven't
gotten to air these grievances face-to-face.
Both Cannon and Black have asked for the match, and on March 17th at
Fight Sports Midwest's debut event, "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon will
face Tyler Black!
On top of all of that, we at Fight Sports Midwest have noticed a
resurgeance in tag team wrestling over the past year, an aspect of this
great sport that sadly was almost lost at one point. Thanks to fine
promotions such as Pro Wrestling Guerrilla in California and Ring of
Honor, tag team wrestling is climbing its way back into the professional
wrestling limelight. FSM is not about to be left behind this trend, as
one of our goals is to bring some of the best teams in the country and
give Midwestern wrestling fans a tag team division of their own to be
proud of!
To launch the division, at our first event, we will be holding a
five-team gauntlet bout where two teams will start and after one teams
loses, another team will replace them until all five teams have entered.
The winner of the last fall will be proclaimed the winner of the entire
match. The news of this division forming spread amongst some of the
competitors over the past couple of weeks, and there's already been
talks with both current tag teams and brand new teams, as some singles
wrestlers are looking at this as a hot commodity that they need to hop
on. Over the weeks leading up to this event, more teams will be
announced as they're confirmed. As of now, we can announce the first
team, as they've officially signed their names on the dotted line.
The first team in the gauntlet will be "The All Star" Chuck Taylor, one
of the hottest stars on the indy scene today and the current IWA
Mid-South Heavyweight Champion, and Truth Martini, one of the most
prominent wrestlers to come out of Michigan in years and the man who
trained such stars as Jimmy Jacobs, Alex Shelley, and Zach Gowen. Truth
sees Chuck as having nothing but the utmost potential, but needs
guidance in which Truth feels he can provide to help mold the youngster
into a complete professional wrestler.
On March 17th, Truth & Chuck will join a field of five to determine
preliminary tag team supremacy in Fight Sports Midwest!
As of right now, here's the official card for Fight Sports Midwest on
March 17th in Portage!

Card (Subject To Change):
Main Event: Tag Team Grudge Match
NWA Upstate World Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Olsen &
NWA Upstate No Limits Champion Cheech vs. "The Right
Stuff" Brodie Lee & Cloudy
To say there's no love lost between these two teams
would be an understatement. The feud between Jimmy
Olsen & Brodie Lee has escalated even further with
Olsen pinning Lee at X-Mas Chaos 06' for the Upstate
title in what some are considering Upstate match of
the year for 2006. But the inclusion of former
partners Cheech & Cloudy (formerly Up in Smoke) have
made things even more volatile and somewhat confusing.
It was at X-mas Chaos where Cloudy turned his back on
Cheech and attacked his partner during their tag match
against The Star Foundation (Sterling James Keenan &
"Fabulous" John McChesney). Cheech was easy prey to
SJK and the Fabulous one who picked up the victory, as
Cloudy left the ring with Brodie Lee by his side. No
one was really sure why Cloudy did what he did, or why
Brodie would be in Cloudy's ear. Things did get a
little bit clearer as Cloudy came out during the
Upstate title match and jumped Jimmy Olsen from
behind. His plan was short lived, however, as Cheech
came out and chased Cloudy back to the dressing room.
Even though both Olsen and Cheech carry Upstate gold,
they are none too pleased about the way things have
gone down between their former partners (and best
friends) and have demanded a shot at revenge against
Upstate's newest alliance. One has to wonder what "The
Right Stuff" and his "new best friend" will have up
their sleeve, AND perhaps we'll find out why Cloudy
turned his back on his partner.
Everybody's Got A Price, But Who's Going To Pay?
Former WWF superstar and the first ever Million Dollar
Champion, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, will
be at February Fallout. Everyone's knows Ted Dibiase
and what he's accomplished over the years in the
wrestling business. But the burning question
everyone's dying to know is exactly what is The
Million Dollar Man's agenda? Is there someone on the
Upstate roster he's coming after? Or perhaps there's
someone that has caught his eye that he'd like to take
under his wing? Perhaps it's both? Perhaps neither?
One thing is for sure, the "Million Dollar Man" will
make his presence felt and it's certainly going to be
one that Upstate fans (and the Upstate roster) won't
forget.
Old School vs. New School:
"The Trouble King" Steve Corino vs. Star Foundation
member Sterling James Keenan (w/Star Rider)
You've probably heard it before, but this time the
saying rings true. It's old school versus new school
as "The Trouble King" goes one on one with the crown
jewel of The Star Foundation. Steve Corino is a man
whose no stranger to trouble AND controversy,
especially considering his verbal tirade against the
fans at last year's February Fallout. This time the
former ECW, NWA, & current AWA World Champion is back
in Upstate for his first ever singles match against
"Sterling" James Keenan. With the help of his manager
Star Rider, SJK will be involved in his biggest
high-profile match to date in Upstate. A victory for
Sterling would certainly put him in line for a shot at
any of the Upstate singles titles, possibly the
Upstate World Title. Will the Devil get his due or
will the King reign supreme?
Six-Man Tag Team Grudge Match:
NWA Upstate Tag Team Champions The Roadies & Van Atlas
(w/Nikki Jett) vs. Rhythm & Booze & "The Dark Pony" JP
Black
Another issue brewing in NWA Upstate involves The
Roadies (w/Van Atlas) & Rhythm & Booze and JP Black.
It all began at X-Mas Chaos '06 when The Roadies (Dunn
& Marcos) came out and fired their head of security,
Van Atlas, much to the surprise of Atlas and the fans.
The Roadies then said they had no competition and were
taking the night off. Both the Barrio Boyz and The
McCloud Brothers came out and both teams made their
case that they should both get a shot at the tag
titles. Dunn & Marcos still weren't convinced and once
again tried to leave, when The Dark Pony himself, JP
Black, came down the aisle. Black grabbed the mic and
said he was backstage and found himself a partner: Van
Atlas. So the match became a four corners elimination
match with the tag titles at stake. With both the
Barrio Boyz & McCloud Brothers eliminated, it was down
to Black & Atlas against Dunn & Marcos. Black finally
tagged in Atlas who finally had his chance at revenge
against his former cohorts. But out of nowhere, Atlas
attacked Black and helped Dunn & Marcos get the win
and retain the belts. The Roadies & Atlas mocked the
fans for duping them as they had setup "The Dark
Pony". They continued their assault until Rhythm &
Booze came out to make the save. Black, battered and
beaten, grabbed the mic and said somewhere down the
road Atlas would pay for double-crossing him. Which
brings us to February Fallout where "The Dark Pony"
looks for revenge and the two top teams in NWA Upstate
square off in this 6-man grudge match.
NWA Upstate Kayfabe Dojo Title Match:
"The Exceptional Icon" Eric Everlast (C) vs. Mastiff
"The Exceptional Icon" Eric Everlast has been on a
roll recently, defending the Kayfabe Dojo Title and
holding it for almost eight months. Mastiff, however,
is the exact opposite. The popular heartthrob from
Hoboken has been on a losing streak of late and has
become more frustrated with not only himself, but with
Upstate referees as well. Mastiff, however, has done
enough to earn himself a title shot at February
Fallout and a victory would not only end his current
slide, but put an end to Everlast's winning ways. But
the man who's "Rated E for Exceptional" will no doubt
pull out all the stops in keeping his title.
Cody Deaner vs. Colin Olsen
The man from the trailer park returns to NWA Upstate
against one of Upstate's youngest and brightest stars.
Cody Deaner has been making an impact throughout the
independents, including crashing Sgt. Slaughter's
birthday celebration at last year's Ballpark Brawl VII
in Buffalo. Deaner will bring his loud, rambunctious
style to Rochester to face Colin Olsen, who'll also be
looking to climb the Upstate ladder with what would be
his biggest singles win to date.
Big Cat Leemer vs. Triple X
These former partners and best friends have a HUGE
score to settle after Triple X attacked both Big Cat
and Spazz, walking away from Team Upstate and leaving
them to be decimated by The Dynasty who would go on to
win the Upstate 6 Man Tag Team Trophy at X-Mas Chaos
06'. Triple X has apparently told Upstate officials
he's going to tell his side of the story behind his
actions AND explain the real reasons behind the demise
of Team Upstate. But the 360 lb. from Cincinnati
isn't one for listening and he wants to do his talking
in the ring. There is no doubt the issue between these
two will begin to heat up at February Fallout.
Plus...
"Fabulous" John McChesney, Star Foundation member and
former No Limits Champion will be action as he starts
his quest to regain Upstate gold.
"Sweet & Sour" Larry Sweeney defeated Mastiff in his
Upstate debut at X-Mas Chaos and will look to continue
his winning ways as he once again graces the squared
circle in Rochester.
The Dynasty defends the 6 Man Trophy as Upstate 6 Man
Trophy holders The Czar, Derek Duncum, & Vince Beach
have issued an open challenge to any three wrestlers
on the Upstate roster for a shot at their trophy. The
Dynasty have claimed they are the greatest 6 man
champions in not only Upstate, but in the history of
the wrestling business. Never lacking confidence, the
brash, arrogant trio have backed up their words so far
since winning the trophy. But who will step up to the
plate and put an end to The Dynasty's reign of winning
and destruction?
Be there Saturday February 10th as the #1 wrestling
promotion in western New York, NWA Upstate, brings you
February Fallout from the Minett Hall in Rochester,
New York.
NWA EMPIRE NEWS: JOHNNY PUMA TO APPEAR AT NWA
EMPIRE'S MARCH MELTDOWN (MARCH 10, 2007):
In NWA Empire news it was announced this morning that
Jonny Puma will be making his second straight NWA
Empire appearance since coming out of retirement in
one of the three matches that have already been
announced for NWA Empire's next show, March Meltdown,
taking take place at St. Johnsburg Fire Hall on
Saturday evening Match 10, 2007. More about Puma in a
moment.
MORE WRESTLING, INC. DYSFUNCTION?:
A last month's VIVA LA Revolution, former Wrestling,
Inc. member Chris Cooper refused to shake the hand
offered by Wrestling, Inc. member Brandon Thurston
following a Hellcat ordered handicap match in which
Thurston and partner Benjamin Smythe defeated Cooper.
At March Meltdown, Thurston will be facing Copper
one-on-one as he seeks to avenge what he perceives to
be Cooper's disrespect of Brandon at the last show.
One has got to wonder why Benjamin Smythe walked out
on Thurston after the pair won the handicap match
against Cooper at VIVA LA Revolution, and whether or
not Chris Cooper can truly count on his match with
Brandon Thurston being a one-on-one match.
MATCH SIGNED BETWEEN TWO TOP WNY TEAMS:
In another tag team match announced for the show, The
Killer Steve's (Steve Kruz & Steve McKenzie) will be
taking on NWA Upstate Tag Team Champions The Roadies
("I Can't Drive 55" Sammy Dunn & "Diamond" Dave
Marcos). Despite the fact that Rhythm & Booze (Frank
the Tank & Buddy Delmar) hold the NWA Empire Tag Team
Championship, a good number of WNY wrestling fans
consider The Killer Steves and The Roadies to be the
top two tag teams in WNY today. This match may just
settle that debate one and for all.
There's no word as of yet on whether or not The
Roadies will be putting up their NWA Upstate tag belts
in the match with The Killer Steves.
JONNY PUMA GETS ANOTHER CHANCE AT HELLCAT.....SORT OF:
At last month's VIVA LA Revolution, Jonny Puma
actually got a pinfall on NWA Empire Heavyweight
Champion Hellcat, and thought he had won the title.
Unfortunately the Championship Committee ruled that
Puma had not signed an official contract for the
match, and declared the title change null and void.
At March Meltdown, Puma will get another chance at
Hellcat......sort of!
The Main Event of March Meltdown will see Puma facing
Hellcat in a tag team match. Jonny will be teaming
with NWA Upstate Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Olsen to
face Hellcat and the man that Olsen defeated for NWA
Upstate title, "The Right Stuff" Brodie Lee. In a
stipulation that has got to be rankling Hellcat, the
NWA has installed a special guest referee for this
match.....the one and only CHIP STETSON!
Stetson faced Hellcat, his former partner and former
best friend, in a semi-final match in the NWA Empire
Heavyweight Championship Tournament at last November's
Pilgrims and Piledriver's show substituting in the
match for Jonny Puma, who was stranded in Ottawa.
During that match, Chip was bloodied, (as evidenced by
this picture: (http://new.photos.yahoo.com
/markoship/album/57646076234287
0094/photo/294928803632708990 /49) and had his ankle
broken by Hellcat, an injury that has kept Stetson out
of wrestling since.
For those NWA Empire fans unfamiliar with the long
history between Chip Stetson and Hellcat, here is a
brief bio on their relationship, and how it came to an
abrupt end last August:
Hellcat and Stetson have known each other for many
years. Forming a wildly successful tag team known as
Team 4:20, the duo won tag titles in a number of
northeastern indy wrestling feds over the past decade.
The pair also hooked up with manager Slic Sexy in a
very successful stable known as the New York Wrecking
Crew that also included the tag team known as The
Outcast Killas (Orman Tortuga & Diablo Santiago).
In the spring of 2005 Chip Stetson retired from active
competition and since that time had been helping
Hellcat run NWA Upstate. Last August, at NWA
Upstate's annual Upstate-8 Tag Team Tournament, Chip
was honored with induction into the Rochester
Wrestling Hall of Fame. Inducting Chip into the hall
was his best friend and former Team 4:20 partner,
Hellcat.
As Chip was making his acceptance speech, he was
interrupted by the appearance of Hellcat's nephew
Johnny Kayfabe who was estranged from Hellcat at that
time. Kayfabe entered the ring and told Stetson that
he didn't want to cause problems, but wanted to tell
Chip that the fans who chant "Dance Chip, Dance" (in
reference to Stetson's popular post-match victory
dances) were really chanting "Dance Puppet, Dance". He
then berated Stetson for pandering for the fans.
When Chip finally had had enough of the cocky Kayfabe
and decked him with a punch, Hellcat shocked the crowd
by attacking his Chip from behind, smashing the
hall-of-fame induction plaque over his friend Chip's
head, knocking him out cold. Hellcat then shook hands
with Kayfabe, grabbed the mic and told the stunned
crowd that Chip Stetson had made the mistake of
getting too popular in NWA Upstate. He then told
Stetson, who was still on the mat but beginning to
come to, that Chip thought that this night was all
about him, but that he should never forget that NWA
Upstate is all about Hellcat.
Given the bad blood between Stetson and Hellcat over
the past six months, it will be very interesting when
Chip steps into the ring as referee for the match at
March Meltdown.

BS however missed a elbow in the corner so NWB capitalized with a clothesline. NWB then started working on the knee and leg of BS. The fans were behind BS which was making NWB really upset. When BS was able to make it to his feet, NWB kicked his leg out from under him. BS was able to duck two clotheslines and sunset flip over NWB. Unfortunately he was too close to the ropes so the ref couldn’t make the count. BS fought back with all he had by punching NWB.

"HNIC" Apollo & JB Thunder and Robbie Ruffin
-vs-
"The Syndicate Crew" LA Player, Psycho Medic, Karnage, & DeAngelo w/YT
"SC" did not like the fact that this match had a special ref. The Crew was slow to get into the ring. "HNIC" and RR were all ready to fight. SG started the 10 count. "SC" got in the ring at 8 to start the match. RR and DeA started for their sides. RR gave DeA an arm drag then tagged in JB. DeA made the tag to LA.

Apollo slammed the face of LA into the boot of RR. LA then received an eye raking by the ropes with the help of JB. RR was back in the ring. "SC" was using their cheating tactics as always and not tagging in just swapping back and forth. RR felt the power of all four members of "SC" before he was able to double clothesline LA and DeA. YT even hit him in the face with a baseball bat. SG was calling the match right down the middle and "SC" did not like his fairness. RR tried to pin LA but the others stopped the count. RR finally made the tag to "HNIC" who faced each of their opponents. All participants in the match were in the ring at once. JB got the win in 11:59 over Psycho Medic after a devastating DDT in the center of the ring while his partners were keeping the other Crew members detained. Apollo even hit YT after the match and continued the fight with any one who got in the ring again. They even pulled out some of LA's hair and were throwing it around.

Match 6
"American Nightmare" Johnny Demento w/Sexy Jessi
-vs-
"Mr. Impact" JT Quest w/Xstacy

JD brought JT back in the ring the hard way. JD hit JT in the corner with a flying elbow and a splash then caught him coming out of the corner with a clothesline. JT then poked JD in the eyes and started pulling his hair. JD was blinded momentarily and swinging at the air. JT then ran his eyes across he top rope to continue the punishment. JD did not see the kick to the mid section coming so he could not block it. JT then worked over the knee of JD driving it into the ring and kicking it repeatedly.

After the match JT spine-bustered the ref and then JD. Next week, JT requested to have a submission match only. JD told JT he did not think he knew any submissions--he only knows how to use chairs and to get help from his buddy, referring to Michael White. JD accepted the match.

Hartfield fire Department raises over $2000!
Totally Awesome proves themselves....awesome!
Wayne straps Superstar ii
denny and parker go to no contest!
(Saluda, Virginia) The Hartfield Volunteer Fire Department held its annual wrestling fundraiser Saturday night at the Middlesex County High School gym and once again the National Wrestling Alliance was asked to put on the show! Over 250 people packed the Middlesex County gym and helped support their local volunteer firemen. "Once I heard the NWA was coming back, I was there! I follow them in Mathews and online," said a fan named Eddie, "and I love watching NWA wrasslin' action!"
The first show last year featured a 23 man Royal Rumble with the winner getting a shot at the Heavyweight Champion. This time it wa s the NWA Virginia tag team championship that was up for grabs, as well as the Alpha Championship and the Virginia State Heavyweight title. The local wrestlers were in action as well. Mike Booth was cheered by the crowd this time, and King and Queen County wrestler Grail was also warmly received.
The show opened with a four corner elimination tag team match. This match featured all new wrestlers to the Saluda crowd. The team of Fusion GX was the crowd favorite, while the teams of Totally Awesome, Danger International, and Team FSU were not well liked by the crowd. Managers Neil Sharkey and Timmy Danger were also present at ringside.
Fusion GX eliminated Danger International but took a beating while doing it. Team FSU got frustrated at not being able to pin either member of Fusion GX and wound up hitting both wrestlers with a chair, thereby getting eliminated by disqualification. Before Team FSU left, however, they rang the bells of Totally Awesome with stiff chair shots. Fusion GX and Totally Awesome were left to fight for the titles. In the end, it was Totally Awesome who were able to outlast Fusion GX and capture the vacant NWA Virginia tag team titles!
"Local Celebrity" Mike Booth, the hometown favorite, was up next. He was faced with the challenge of not just one wrestler, but two! This Triple Threat match saw Krotch and Logan Knight team up to try and take down the Old School Empire member! Booth was too tough for his opponents and laid out both of them with massive clotheslines and an easy pinfall win. Booth is also the current VCW Heavyweight Champion. He and his partner, Damian Wayne, are regulars on the wrestling scene through-out Virginia and North Carolina.
Damian Wayne wrestled a strap match against Masked Superstar II. These two former friends battled as if they have never gotten along. Wayne and Superstar beat each other senseless and Wayne whipped Superstar as if he were a government mule. In the end, Superstar was dragging Wayne around the ring to win the match but Wayne outsmarted his former partner and tagged the last corner before Superstar did. Superstar, extremely upset that he was going home on the losing end of the match, attacked Wayne and brainbustered Wayne from the TOP ROPE!! Wayne was helped from the ring and intermission was next.
The Hartfield Fire Department sold the food and fans mingled, looking at different merchandise that was on sale. One fan named Victoria, walked up to the wrestlers with her friend Erin and got autographs from the different wrestlers wallking around the ringside area. "The wrestlers were so friendly, even the ones who weren't nice during their match. I got autographs from all the hot ones," said the Mathews HS freshman.
Once intermission was done the action began anew.
The other local face on the show was 'The Avenging Angel' Grail. Grail, recently married and a native of nearby King and Queen county, defended his Alpha Championship against former North American Tag Team Champion Drake Tungsten. Tungsten was able to pick the stipulation in this match and he chose a Hair vs Hair match. It's a shame, because he wound up losing the match, and his hair. Grail celebrated by throwing the hair around the ringside area.
The North American Tag Team titles, the second highest tag team titles in the entire NWA were defended. Scotty Blaze, who had his hand broken last time in Saluda, returned as a Champion and, along with 'Superstar' Scotty Rocker battled the egotistical team of Nu Egypt, with Erotica D'Vine. These teams have battled each other all over Virginia, and Nu Egypt has usually gotten the better of The Scottys. Erotica D'Vine, the wife of Scotty Blaze, turned her back on Scotty in Mathews, and joined Nu Egypt. After nearly 30 minutes of action, The Scottys won with a pinfall on Lazarus following Blaze's 'Something Old, Something New'.
In the main event, "Wrestling's MVP" Sean Denny defended his Heavyweight Strap against Frank 'The Tank' Parker. Parker towered over Denny but the Champion is a bulldog who doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. Parker was unable to put Denny away, and Denny was unable to keep Parker down for the 3 count. The match was thrown out by Promoter Rick OBrien after Denny and Parker both hit two different referees for failing to count to three!
A pull apart brawl ensued with just about all of the wrestlers involved in the show attempting to seperate the two.
"Wow!" is all one Hartfield Volunteer could say.
Alan Blake, the main organizer of the show, said that the NWA has already been contracted to do the show again next year. "We'll keep doing this once a year. Last show we had almost 175, this year we had almost 300! Next year, we're going to pack the entire gym! These guys are great and anyone who is looking for a successful fundraiser should contact this organization. They put on a helluva show!"
"We couldn't have done it without the help of the Fire Department, the community, the Board of Supervisors, and everyone else involved. We had one young lady, Judy, who let EVERYONE she could know about the show," said Promoter Rick OBrien. "We also had two big helpers who helped get word around the school itself. This was truly a community event and I'm just very happy that we were able to help."
