Greensboro NC

02.28.10

RCW S**t You Ain't Never Seen Before kicked off with the first of two Fatal Four Way Tag Title Qualifiers, with the teams of Wrestling Superstar & Big Daddy Edwards advancing to the finals after almost seventeen minutes of battle against the teams of Ryan Billings & Isaac Daniels, Patrick Billings & "Surfer" Jay Odyssey and the unlikely duo of Arik Royal & Robert Royal w/Neal Sharkey.

The second match up as ring attendants began attaching pink and purple paddles to posts attached to opposite ringposts. The bizarre Cinnamon entered to battle Shane Phoenix in a first-ever RCW Paddle On A Pole Match. The two, hesitant at times, battled for a few minutes before attempting to grab one of the gayly-colored paddles. Both competitors each reached paddles at the same time and swung them at each other, with the paddles sticking together. After a minute of paddle-play, both wrestlers exited the ring and wandered off as the referee made a double ten count.

The second Fatal Four Way Tag Title Qualifier was up next, with the teams of Paco Loco & Matt Houston, Fatback's "Dangerous E" Corey Edsel & "Jersey" Nick Richards w/Brad Stutts, Chase Dakota & Matt Smith and the very large duo of K-Slay & SickMan. Several outstanding double-team moves were displayed in this bout, surprisingly by two wrestlers not even on the same teams, Edsel & Houston, as they reprised some moves made famous by the Unholy Empire from New Empire Wrestling. Youngsters Matt Smitt & Chase Dakota walked away with a convincing win, catapulting them into the RCW Tag Title Final for the vacant titles later in the evening.

As the second Fatal Four Way was decided, a brawl broke out in the ring and wrestlers from the back began making their way towards the ring. An RCW Battle Royal was called for and over twenty wrestlers filled the ring. The final two competitors, by rule, then had to finish the match under regular singles match rules with the winner earning a guaranteed shot at for the RCW Heavyweight Title. Destiny's "High Definition" Steve Greene found himself across the ring from former King of Riders Champion "Hustle King" Kingfish. Greene slammed the big man to the canvas, walked a mudhole through him and left with a "Money In The Bank" guaranteed title shot which he can use at ANY sanctioned PWI event.

Fan favorite Brass Munkey hit the ring next for Gauntlet action, with Showtyme's Trevor Lee answering the bell. Despite his "hit and run" tactics, Lee found himself eliminated by pinfall in just over eight minutes, and immediately the introduction of the second opponent, "New Era" Jimmy Parker w/Les Parker. Parker attacked and immediately started showing off his power move arsenal and even the young man's father-manager got in a few licks of his own from the floor before Munkey ended his night by pinfall in about eight minutes. Without a moment to catch his breath, the final opponent was introduced and Aftermath's Jaxon Dane came to the ring in a rage. The powerful-built monster went to work, systematically trying to reduce the nearly exhausted Munkey to a welcome mat. Munkey caught what I suppose would be a third wind and sent Dane down via pinfall in under ten minutes.

The RCW Tag Title bout was introduced next, with the winners of the previous pair of Fatal Four Way Qualifiers making their way to the ring to battle for the vacant RCW Tag Titles. Matt Smith & Chase Dakota hit the ring to the cheers of the fans to await the masked Wrestling Superstar & Big Daddy Edwards, who got no respect from the fans at ringside. A battle of near-epic proportions broke out with Smith & Dakota showing they've been doing their homework by making quick tags and taking advantage of their opponent in their corner. Superstar withstood the brunt of their attack for well over five minutes before he was able to make it to his corner to unleash Big Daddy Edwards on their young opponents. Edwards hit the ring playing the part of an immovable object, standing tall and pounding on whichever opponent got within his reach until the Smith-Dakota team took it up a notch and began taking a few more risks along the way. Undaunted and determined, Wrestling Superstar & Big Daddy Edwards took the match back to their speed and into their corner to take home the titles by pinfall.

RCW Tag Team Gold Rush action was up next, which by rule puts all individual titles on the line should a champion lose the bout by pinfall. The most unlikely duo ever, CWF Mid Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Kamakazi Kid entered alongside of partner Destiny's Ty Dillinger. Their opponents, CWF Rising Generation League Champion Roo-D Lewis & Semper Ferocious' Devin Dalton entered and the bell was called for. A dance lesson broke out, with Lewis teaching a few steps to his opponent, Kamakazi Kid. Dillinger, deciding to make a statement, clears the ring, grabs his hat and strikes a classic M.J. pose, calling for his music. The theme from Diff'rent Strokes blared from the speakers as Dillinger had a fit in the ring. "Willis" chants broke out as the bout continued until Dillinger tagged in and grabbed a package from ringside and donned his own Kamakazi Kid mask. Declaring himself as the "original" Kazi, he ascended the top ropes and dropped a knee before Kamakazi entered the ring, slapped his partner's face and removed the mask from Dillinger's head. "One Man Boy Band" Roo-D Lewis busted a move, pulled out a pinfall win for his team and danced his way into Riders' hearts.

Main event RCW Heavyweight Title action was scheduled to end the evening's festivities, with champion "King of Heat" Gemini Kid w/Ty Dillinger entering confidently to face challenger Rob "Boogie Woogie Man" McBride. The place erupted as McBride entered and made his way around the facility before entering the ring to take care of business. McBride started off strong, going straight to work without the usual comedy moments. Gemini ran in reverse on several occassions, and appeared to be getting a bit frustrated with the resilience of the Boogie Woogie Man. Manager Ty Dillinger instructed his man to grab his opponent and hold him up for him, and when Gemini had McBride firmly in his grasp, stepped through the ropes with brass knuckles on his fist. McBride ducked as Dillinger swung and nailed his buddy Gemini Kid right between the eyes. McBride made the cover and won the RCW Heavyweight Title in just under ten minutes. Gemini & Dillinger continued to attack after the bell and "High Definition" Steve Greene ran to the stage and demanded his guaranteed title shot IMMEDIATELY, which was granted. The referee was instructed and the bell was rang, even though the new champion was still flat on his back in the middle of the ring. Greene flew through the ropes, hearing the bell, and covered the champion. The referee made the count and raised the new champion's hand, with Greene winning the title in a record four seconds.

"People still totally freak when I tell them that I stopped watching wrestling on television in 2001, the night Vince McMahon's face showed up on WCW's big screen to be exact. Everyone swears I need to know what's going on in WWE in order to put on a wrestling event. It hasn't stopped me yet, if I need inspiration I simply dig out my collection of wrestling tapes from the 80's and 90's, and yes, that includes WWF, WCW, WCCW, UWF, and the rest of the alphabet soup that makes up today's wrestling. - Randy "Randolph" Hedrick

CWF Mid-Atlantic rocked the Sportatorium with "Beginnings End" on March 6th. The huge card of action featured several surprises, none more shocking than the Mid-Atlantic Tag-Team Championships changing hands.

In the opening contest with a guaranteed future shot at those very titles on the line, Rising Generation League superstars Chase Dakota and Matt Smith picked up a huge win in four corner tag-team action against the tandems of Cecil Scott & Trevor Lee; Cederick Alexander & RGL Champion Roo D. Lewis and the Sindicate's Michael McAllister & Evan Banks. Trevor Lee and the RGL Champion Lewis had constant words during the match, as the bad blood boiling between them since Battlecade X will come to a head on March 19th at Projekt X with Trevor's hair on the line against the RGL Championship!

Ultra J Champion Xsiris & William L. Cross were out next, with the braggadocious champion interrupting Smith and Dakota to ponder if there were any legitimate contenders he hadn't beaten yet. Smith in particular took exception to those remarks and returning to the ring to challenge the champion, Smith and Xsiris circled each other and locked up in the ring before seperating as a ring official entered the arena. The two went to war a second time with Smith pinning the shoulders of the champion for the three count. As impressive as a feat ever accomplished by Smith, it will be for naught in the record books as the official never called for the bell to begin a match.

Unpredictable Otto Schwanz was out next securing a pinfall win over the mysterious Canadian Mercenary # 3 just seconds before the 10:00 time limit would have expired.

In one of the wildest six-man tag-team bouts in recent memory, Destiny's Ty Dillinger; new RCW Champion Steve Greene and hired gun Ray Kandrack took on Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Kamakazi Kid; Brass Munkey and Fatback's "young gun" Nick Richards. The injured Destiny member Joey Silvia and Richards' manager Brad Stutts were in the respective corners for this chaotic bout that ran the full spectrum from comedic hilarity to uncontrollable brawl. 21 minutes into the bout, Kandrack hoisted Richards up for the "Ray-Gun" and secured the 3 count amidst the brawl that had broken out between all 8 men.

CWF Mid-Atlantic Television Champion Roy Wilkins successfully defended against Mexico's favorite high-flying lucha goat Chiva Kid. After the bout however, Wilkins was confronted and run out of the building by Arik Royal, the man who Wilkins robbed of the Television Title back at Title Turmoil. These two are clearly on a collision course in the very near future.

Three-way tag-team action was up next as Aftermath's Marcellus King & Jaxon Dane w/ William Cross scored without question the biggest win of their tag-team career unseating the Mid-Atlantic Tag-Team Champions Fatback Enterprises with an assist from Alex Adonis & Butch McClain. None of the three teams were cooperative for even a moment of the fifteen minute bout and in fact Adonis & McClain seemed poised to capture the titles after a vicious double chokeslam on Donnie Dollar$. However the punt kick of Jaxon Dane proved the difference maker, sending Adonis to the floor in agony. Dane dove atop Dollar$ for the three count bringing the tag-team championship to the Aftermath.

In the evening's main event, Tank Lawson entered the arena for the final time to do battle against his early mentor Rob "Boogie Woogie Man" McBride in Lawson's Farewell match. The two former tag champions brawled and scrapped with Lawson tossing Boogie head-first into the ring apron, getting back to his feet with blood covering his face. McBride continued his workman-like pace, systematically attempting to disassemble his friend, only to get frustrated by his sometimes not-too-serious opponent, who got emotional after pinning McBride and attempted to re-start the bout. Lawson got his friend in a wheelchair involved in the bout, lifting him into the ring and standing him in one of the corners as he and Boogie brawled out of the building after the match. The Sindicate's Banks & McAllister entered to take advantage of the situation, only to find themselves flat on their backs with the young man being dropped across both of the prone former champions with McBride making a three-count. As Lawson thanked everyone in the building for their support over the years, McBride pulled a rabbit out of the hat by producing the actual pair of CWF Tag Team Title straps that the two of them carried for over a year, and presenting the customized title belt to his friend, keeping one for his own trophy case. A beautiful gesture to end a very emotional night in the Mid Atlantic Sportatorium helped galvanize CWF Beginning's End into the memories of everyone in attendance.

Aftermath's Jaxon Dane was out first for the February episode of CWF Projekt X for singles action against former RGL Champion Matt Smith. The powerhouse held his ground from the opening bell, manhandling his popular opponent in and out of the ring. Smith kept finding ways to fight back from certain defeat but was unable to fend off the relentless Dane, who won by pinfall after nearly ten minutes of battle.

Chase Dakota's notoriety came to the forefront as Cedrick Alexander stepped up to the plate demanding the fan favorite put his PWI Ultra-J Crown Championship shot on the line. Dakota responded by coming out of the gate like a house of fire, thwarting the powerful young challenger on several fronts. Alexander seemed to have an advantage over the crafty youngster, but was unable to withstand the new-found offensive prowess of Dakota, who had his hand raised following a pinfall win.

Three way elimination action was up next as Showtyme's Trevor Lee, Chiva Kid & Roo-D Lewis were introduced for battle. Lee eliminated current RGL Champion Lewis near the five minute mark and the masked Chiva Kid turned up the volume to 11 and went to work to continue his steady rise up the rankings. After a couple of high-risk moves, Chiva brought it home with a convincing pinfall win to keep his momentum rolling forward into 2010.

"Creepy" Cecil Scott & "Big" Ray Kandrack were out next for Projekt X tag team action against former CWF Mid Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Brass Munkey & Arik Royal. All four competitors tore it up, turning up the heat in the arena with high impact moves and collisions. Kandrack did the yeoman's work for his team, taking each opponent on toe-to-toe as his confidence grows in the squared circle. The irresistable force of Brass Munkey and the immovable object Arik Royal overcame, with their hands raised in victory by pinfall.

The PWI International Trios Championship Cup was up for grabs as the champion Los Mercenarios Canadianese were finally forced to face Fatback Enterprises with the cup on the line. The three masked Canadians found themselves across the ring from "Dangerous E" Corey Edsel, Donnie Dollar$ & "Jersey" Nick Richards w/Brad Stutts in a best of three falls Projekt X main event. After a very entertaining "feeling out period" the two teams settled down for the long haul. The first fall was scored for Fatback when Edsel pinned one of the masked Canadians around seventeen minutes into the bout. The match continued without a break and the Canadians stole the second fall by pinning Dollar$. It only took the PWS & CWF Mid Atlantic Tag Champions four or five minutes more to add the PWI International Trios Championship to their title trophy showcase.

02.27.10

In bonus matches held at 7 PM for VIP Ticket holders Devin Dalton of Semper Ferocious put down Canadian Mercenary # 3 with a fireman's carry cutter, "big" Ray Kandrack defeated Patrick Wright after the "Ray-Gun" and the Sindicate's Evan Banks downed RGL Champion Roo D. Lewis in a non-title bout following a vicious spear.

Once the official 7:30 PM bell time rolled around it was time for a fast-paced four way elimination match pitting some of the Mid-Atlantic's toughest young stars against each other. Matt Smith, Chiva Kid and Fatback's "Jersey" Nick Richards, all former RGL Champions, all had their sights set on ShowTyme's Trevor Lee during the course of the match, but the sneaky Lee was able to constantly avoid big blows and more often than not wound up putting the other three against each other as he slid out of, and sometimes, underneath the ring for protection. Trevor picked his spots, sneaking in the ring at an opportune moment and dropping Chiva Kid with a brutal neckbreaker-over-the-knee off the top rope and diving on top for the first elimination. Then it was right back to hiding out on the floor for Lee, as Smith and Richards duked it out on the top rope and Smith drilled Fatback's "young gun" with a huge superplex off the top rope. As Smith tried to roll into a pinning situation, Richards wisely hooked Smith's legs in an inside cradle and got the 3 count to send Smith to the showers. After just being drilled into the canvas, Richards was seemingly easy pickings for Lee, who drilled him with many hard shots to the back as the bout quickly turned from wrestling match to brawl. Trevor once again found himself on the top rope but this time it was Richards prevailing after sending Trevor plummeting to the canvas with a top-rope version of his "Winnah-plex" as Richards scored the final pinfall to win the match at 9:40. He got very little time to celebrate his victory however as Ray Kandrack burst through the curtain and attacked Richards with a high-impact belly-to-belly suplex and then leveled "Jersey" with the "Ray-Gun." The CWF Fan Cam caught up with Kandrack in the locker room at intermission where Kandrack informed us all in a taped message that he felt disrespected and overlooked by being asked to appear on the VIP-only bonus matches and not the main card. He insinuated that Richards was only where he was at in the company due to politics and challenged Richards for a one-on-one bout for Saturday March 6th at the Sportatorium.

PWI Ultra J Champion Xsiris defeated Aiden Chambers by pinfall to retain the title in 13:16. The Burlington crowd took to Chambers as the cocky champion (and Aftermath mastermind William L. Cross) threw everything at the challenger to pick up the duke. As the Aftermath seemed poised to attack Chambers further, Will o' the Whisp II made a shocking appearance and dropped Cross with the Twist of Fate. The interaction between Will o' and Xsiris seemed to indicate an Ultra J Title Match could be in the future of the enigmatic Will o' the Whisp II.

Destiny's "High Definition" Steve Greene and Ty Dillinger with "Coach" Gemini Kid were out next for tag-team action against 2009 Rumble winner Arik Royal and former CWF Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Brass Munkey. These superstars had the crowd on their feet for the duration of this intense match with manager-turned-wrestler Dillinger taking a tremendous beating at the hands of both opponents. Gemini Kid and his whistle were a constant distraction for the Royal/Munkey pairing and he was there at several crucial moments to assist both Dillinger and Greene, manipulating the rules at every opportunity. No moment was more crucial however than when "Coach" GK slipped the trademark brass knuckles into the waiting hands of Steve Greene, who clocked Royal while the referee was distracted to pick up the pinfall at 17:32.

In a bout with a guaranteed future PWS Heavyweight Title match on the line, Aftermath's Marcellus "Mid-Atlantic" King squared off with Fatback's "Dangerous E" Corey Edsel in a match-up of two hard hitting heavyweights. These two duked it out for several hard fought minutes, trading heavy punches and strikes with neither man backing down. King went for his patented "Murder-Go-Round" backbreaker early but could not keep the 450-pound ace of Fatback down for the 3 count. King went to the top rope for an uncharacteristic moonsault but even that only got 2. The nearfalls went both ways though, with King barely escaping Edsel's dangerous spinebuster. Managers William L. Cross and Brad Stutts got into it at ringside with referee Redd Jones actually at one point leaving the ring to break up the fight. That unfortunately created the opportunity for Marcellus to nail Edsel with a 2nd devastating "Murder Go Round" backbreaker, this time dropping the big man back-first on a steel chair. Oblivious, Redd Jones slid back in and counted the 3, gving the win and future championship opportunity to King.

Perhaps the most unique three-way ever inside the Mid-Atlantic Sportatorium transpired next with both PWS Heavyweight Champion Joey Silvia and Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion Kamakazi Kid putting their titles on the line agains the "Intrepid Traveler" Paul London. The former WWE superstar entered the ring in his spacesuit and proclaimed himself "Intergalactic Heavyweight Champion of the Universe" although that championship is not recognized by Pro Wrestling International as of press time. These three brought everything they had to this high profile and high stakes match-up, including Silvia taking a nasty spill off the bleachers that injured his right shoulder. With the PWS Champion now and nursing an apparent injury, it became a race to score the first pinfall between London and Kazi with London at one point nailing the "London Calling" shooting star press but it only got a count of two. Likewise Kazi took to the air for his patented frog splash but THAT only got a two count. As the war waged on, Silvia made his way to his feet at an opportune moment with Kazi down and drilled London head first with Silvia's cross-legged brainbuster for the pin to retain his championship. By rule, Kazi's Mid-Atlantic Hwt. Championship did not change hands since he was not pinned.

Prior to the final scheduled bout of the evening, a Pro Wrestling International spokeman informed the crowd that due to Lee Valiant competing against doctor's orders while still suffering from a concussion, PWI refused to sanction the match. However, a deal was struck and agreed upon by all parties that PWI would provide the facilities to settle the personal grudge between Valiant and Kendrick, on the condition that both men agreed to have PWI referee Redd Jones present to either count a pinfall, rule a submission or if need be stop the match should one man become incapacitated or unable to defend himself. All parties agreed and the final bout of the evening was a non-sanctioned "lights out" grudge match pitting "The" Brian Kendrick one-on-one against Lee Valiant. This was immediately a violent and brutal brawl with Valiant busted open from ear to ear and bleeding profusely. The crowd cringed with every blow Valiant took to the head, realizing the danger he was putting himself in competing without doctor's clearance. Kendrick maintained the upperhand and flattened Lee with "The Kendrick" ("Sliced Bread # 2") but it only got a 2 count to the shock and dismay of the former WWE superstar. Valiant made a heroic comeback eventually flattening Kendrick with his own move and then ascending the top rope and flying off with a gorgeous flying elbowdrop into the heart of Kendrick before covering for a three count to get his revenge on Kendrick from months ago. After the final bell sounded, Paul London hit the ring and attacked Valiant alongside Kendrick until Kamakazi Kid made the save and ran the WWE invaders off as the night closed with two of PWI's favorite sons in the ring together embracing.

Stardate: 03.02.10 5:50 pm

I want to take a moment to thank every single one of you who come out to the indies to support live pro wrestling. In my fifteen plus years in the Mid Atlantic area's indies, it's really looking up for the "new" talent, those yet undiscovered by "other areas" outside of the Carolinas and Virginia. I suppose I've seen a dozen "generations" of wrestlers over the years, considering my age and how long ago my father began taking me to NWA events in the old Greensboro (NC) Coliseum.

But today's crop of new talent is a bit more over the edge and a bit more ready to take a big risk for the big reward. The charisma is there, still being refined, and some may change their appearance and even their names over the next few years, but the heart will remain constant. I guess what I'm saying is right NOW is the time to attend indy wrestling everywhere to see the new breed of up and coming young competitors.

So, as I've said for years now, see you at ringside!
