Global Championship Wrestling in Canton 11/24/12

Global Championship Wrestling has a large following in Alabama, however, they are still building one in Georgia. While standing in line waiting for the doors to open, we talked three college age guys about their wrestling preferences. They said they like Chikara because of its superhero comic style and its ability to be family friendly without being too childlike. This sounds to me like a lot of fun, and I will definitely check out their website to see if I can order any of the DVD's. We talked of other independent wrestling shows we attend, and our preferences in WWE and TNA.  It was very cold last night, so most of the crowd waited in their cars until the doors opened.

The show took place in a church gymnasium. I'd venture to say the audience numbered at 40 people. I expected a larger crowd, however, I know at least two other promotions had shows that evening. It is also a holiday weekend, and many people are traveling.

Aiden Solo came out and gave a speech about how he was screwed out of the tag team championships, and that he was now a "solo" act. He said that he'd take on whatever backwoods redneck we had, and he asked the crowd to stand and say "In Solo We Trust" with the same reverence we'd given the national anthem. Jake Coal comes out and answers Solo's challenge. The little girl on the front row yelled at Coal to make Solo "cry like a baby". Someone yelled at Solo "You're no Mr. Perfect" to which his response was "I don't need to be Mr Perfect. Mr. Perfect's dead buddy." Cole wins this match with a body slam. The girl in front yells "You're a crybaby, Solo."

The next match was a tag team match. Zac Edwards and Abba Shongo against Drew Adler and Grisham.   (If i've misspelled names, I apologize sincerely because sometimes it is hard to hear what is going on over cheering crowds.) I like Shongo because I found his character visually interesting, and he moved like a jungle cat rather than a person. Zac Edwards engaged with the crowd well. A lady calls out "You sir are an egghead" and he says "Of all the names in the entire world, you just called me an egghead." Egghead chants went on for the rest of the match. A little girl calls out to Zac Edwards "you stink" and then she says I'd say that to the guy in black but I'm too scared of him.Another audience member pointed out that Shongo's hairy bracelets and anklets looked like they were made of doll hair. She said "Some poor girl is crying because all her baby dolls are bald." That one in particular made me laugh.  Edwards and Shongo win, however they cheated. Edwards was holding the ankles of their opponent while Shongo got the pin.

The next match featured Spiral from the Underground. His opponent was crowd favorite Steven Stiles. The action in this match spilled outside the ring a lot. We were sitting in the front row and we had wrestlers falling at our feet. The crowd is going crazy for Stiles, however their cheers are in vain. Spiral wins the match.

The fourth match of the evening was a tag team elimination match. The winner of the first match would face the current tag team champions, The Unlucky Charms. Their legitimacy as Tag Team Champions is questionable, and actually Full Throttle are the official "recognized" Tag Team Champions. The first team to enter is probably the silliest, most amusing team I've seen in a long time. They are called The BFF's and they hail from Gullah Gullah Island, which if I recall is a bright and colorful kids show that aired on Nickelodeon in the early 90's. They wear hot pink, and they prance around. They face the technically sound Full Throttle in the first match. One of the guys from the BFF's is running the ropes during the match, and he runs until he is dizzy. He falls to the mat, and it is clear he is out. His partner calls for water. While the referee is tending to the fallen wrestler, his partner throws water at the opposing team. The water ended up on the floor right outside the ring. Full Throttle wins this bout in a double pin situation.

Full Throttle goes on to face The Unlucky Charms, Damon Kristopher and Chris Knox. They are accompanied by their manager, The Wicked Nemesis.  Wicked Nemesis really knows how to make the crowd hate him. He growls at small children. He yells shut up at the crowd as they cheer on Full Throttle. Someone yells "You're fixing to lose it." and he yells back "I'm going to lose it on you.". Full Throttle get in a few good hits, but finally the Unlucky Charms win by disqualification as Knox hits Joey from Full Throttle with the belt to break up a pin. Damon Kristopher continues beating up the guys from Full Throttle even after the bell rings. The Charms yell at the audience that they are the tag team champions before exiting the ring area. Full Throttle are still officially recognized as Tag Team Champions even though The Unlucky Charms have the belts.

During intermission fans could get the autographs of their favorite GCW Stars. Many of the wrestlers were selling pictures and other memorabilia. Ian, my five year old son got the autographs of Drew Adler and Jake Coal. Former WCW star Buff Bagwell was also signing autographs and talking with fans. Probably my favorite bit of intermission entertainment was the referee that walked by and danced for the crowd.

After intermission we were entertained by holiday karaoke from the BFF's. They sang their own rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Theirs was entitled "We've got all the Muscles in Town."  Rob Adonis came out after their song and talked trash to them. He tells them not to lie in church because it is a lie that either of them has any muscle at all. He challenges them to a two on one match. He would call it a handicapped match, however he considers that an insult to the handicapped. Therefore, it should be instead called a handi-capable match. The match opens with Adonis in a headlock, Adonis counters off the ropes with shoulder blocks. The BFF's really sell the comedy spots in this match. Adonis wins this match with a big spinebuster. One of the BFF's does CPR to try and revive his fallen comrade. 

Johnny Swinger accompanies Micah Taylor, the leader of the Underground, to the ring for the next match. Micah Taylor is one of those bad guys that's also easy to hate. He'll act like he's going to high five little kids and then jerk his hand away. The crowd made fun of his hair calling him a skunk. His opponent was a familiar looking masked wrestler who never made it to the ring. Micah and Johnny beat him up with chairs before the match even started. Then Micah goes on a rant. He says "Your parents lie to you your whole life. They tell you you can be anything you want to be. You can't because you'll never be Johnny Swinger or Micah Taylor." At this Buff Bagwell comes out to help the fallen masked wrestler. He proposes a tag match. He and his partner, the latino sensation Antonio Garza will take on Swinger and Taylor and this match will be the main event of the evening. The whole crowd starts chanting "Buff, Buff".

The next match was for the GCW Heavyweight Championship. Xander Stone from the Underground took on Mr. O'Hagan. I like Xander Stone's face paint. The crowd is clearly rooting for O'Hagan.  O'Hagan has some good kicks. He won the match with a neckbreaker to retain the belt. O'Hagan high fives the audience after his victory. Xander Stone crawls away from the ring area, defeated.

The main event of the evening was a tag team match. Swingtime Johnny Swinger and Micah Taylor took on Buff Bagwell and Antonio Garza. Buff spends a good deal of time posing and showing off before the match starts. The bad guys bicker over who's going to start in the match as both of them believe they are top dog of their team. I am particularly impressed with the high flying style of Garza during this match. Buff Bagwell picks up the win for his team. After the match Micah Taylor grabs a mic, he calls one of the commentators into the ring. He tells him he has to dance the popular Korean viral video dance craze Gangnam Style. The whole crowd starts chanting Gangnam Style, so he dances. The crowd laughs and everyone has a good time with that. GCW is supposed to be back in Canton in December. More information about that show and other upcoming shows is available on their website.

Platinum Championship Wrestling 11/17/12

The crowd has really picked up tonight. That is great to see. There were rather sparse crowds at the previous two shows, however tonight the house seems packed.

At the beginning of the show, Quasi comes out and brings Assessino to challenge yet another opponent of Johnny Danger's choosing. Danger brings out Matt Von Reaper for his PCW debut. He receives a great welcome from the crowd. Assessino has great moves and a wicked dropkick. He nearly lost his mask at one point and had to take time out of the ring to recover. Reaper chokeslams Assesino, and I am super impressed by this. Assesino wins by hitting Von Reaper with brass knuckles, however, the referee discovers them in time and reverses his decision. Reaper wins and after he lays out Quasi. Chuck Porterfield has to come help the injured Quasi from the ring. Johnny Danger says he's tired of all the games, challenges, and being slapped by Nina Monet. They plan to settle this once and for all. Johnny Danger vs. Quasi Mandisco is set for the next Porterdale event on December 1st.

Miss Rachel comes out and says that her team of Shane Marx and Dynomite Soul are too good to have to wait until the main event to wrestle, and she plans on giving them the night off early. Their match is coming up next. Their opponents are Mason and Sylar Cross. Mason and Sylar work together well during the match. Mason is resilient as the thwarts the attacks of Dynomite Soul and Shane Marx. He takes a beating as he's isolated for most of the match. He's like that old Timex commercial. He takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Once Mason makes the tag, Sylar Cross is able to pin Dynomite Soul. Mason and Cross win, and the crowd goes crazy. Mason gets a hug from the lady in the front row who is wearing a John Cena shirt. She apparently loves wrestling.

The third match was between Najasism and Morgan Davis III. Morgan Davis III comes out and does two laps around the ring high fiving the crowd. Najasism prances and shows off for us a lot at the beginning. The old lady on the front row and he exchange words, and she goes after him, but he backs away. The action outside the ring during this match was as good as the action inside. Najasism does a figure four to Morgan Davis on the ring post, and he gets Morgan Davis into a scorpion death lock, however, Morgan escapes. Najasism ends up winning the match by pinning Morgan Davis, however his feet were on the rope. But if the ref didn't see it, it didn't happen.

The next match is a Brother vs. Brother match between Supernatural and De La Vega. De La Vega has pretty new pants. As Supernatural enters, he sees a fan wearing a Ryback shirt and does his impression of Ryback's pose. It was very cute. This match contains two fan favorites so loyalites are divided. The two don't really want to fight at first and they thumb wrestled, then arm wrestled. Miss Rachel came out and said that the winner of this match would be the #1 contender to the unified belt, then they got serious. Worst Case scenario came out and beat them both up. The main event was created. It would be a tag team match pitting Supernatural and De La Vega against Worst Case Scenario.

After intermission we get another tag team match, Geter and Brian Blaze, our 2012 tag team champions, against The Washington Bullets. It's obvious that Porterdale is crazy for the Washington Bullets. They might be Porterdale's most popular wrestlers. Their teamwork is phenomenal. Unfortunately, they made a mistake during the match that cost them. Trey accidentally kicked Jon allowing Geter to capitalize. Geter and Blaze won.

Our main event begins with De La Vega entering wearing Ethan Case's shirt. He'd stolen it from backstage. Supernatural is really kicking butt at the beginning of this match. Ethan Case mocks Vega and Super by going up to the top rope then just jumping down and stomping his opponent. The referee is distracted by Miss Rachel at one point which comes as no surprise. Supernatural wins the match for his team and a triple threat match for the title is announced for December 1st. It will be Supernatural, De La Vega, and Shane Marx for the title.

Tonight's show really impressed me because of the amount of good tag team wrestling that took place. It is rare to see three tag matches in one show, and every one was as good as the last. Everyone needs to plan to be in Porterdale, GA on December 1st for the next PCW show. 

Monstrosity Championship Wrestling 11/16/12

Monstrosity Championship Wrestling had a show at Club Famous on Friday night. The idea, for those unfamiliar, is that monsters such as werewolves and vampires wrestle each other. The audience was made up of wrestling fans, monster fans, and people who are into horror/goth rock. Not only did we get a wrestling show, we also got to see a performance by a band called Casket Creatures.  It isn't just a novelty show. I can honestly say that I saw some of the best wrestling there from The Phantom and The Curry Kid in particular.

The first match of the evening started out like a normal wrestling show. It was a tag team match between Worst Case Scenario and the Washington Bullets. Like every PCW show I've attended, the bullets get a lot of love from the audience. I can say that they have the best in ring chemistry of any tag team I've seen work together. This match was interrupted by a a zombie invasion, and was declared no contest.

The second match was between The monster killer Assesino and Von Reaper. This was the first time I'd seen Von Reaper wrestler,and I was pretty impressed with him. I love his mask. The place was packed by this time, and it was hard to see from the chair I'd staked out by the bar earlier in the evening, so details for the match are sketchy.

My favorite moment of the night had to be the promo that a wrestler named Markie Dreamer came out and cut. Apparently his "hollywood" agent had booked him to be in the show, and he was ticked because he never wrestles for fewer than 500 people. He also went on about how Monstrosity Championship wrestling was a joke, and how the people running it were ruining the industry. He called the show a disgrace, and said that it was disrespectful. I'm not sure, but I believe his comments reflected the beliefs of a certain other wrestler also named Dreamer who'd said similar things on Facebook this past summer.

The women's match between Pandora and Nina Monet was also very good. Pandora's body paint was amazing. Nina won the match, and I'm not certain but I think that might have been the first time I'd seen Nina Monet beat Pandora with a clean finish. Pandora was turned into a zombie after that.

The Alabama Wolfman and the fabulous vampire Dragula settled some of their long standing rivalry as the Wolfman's racist homophobic cousin, the Kentucky Wolfman came out to fight Dragula. These two were funny. Dragula had a lot of fun flirting with the referee. In the end, Dragula wins because the Kentucky werewolf got himself too drunk to fight by chugging his moonshine. Dragula picks up the pin.

The match between rock, paper, and scissors was the match the piqued my curiosity the most before the show. I was most amused by how they were going to handle the costuming for that one. Paper comes out and he's wearing a white paper suit, white mask, and he's carrying a cardboard belt that says "paper champion". Rock wore foam rocks around his head and arms and his face was painted. Scissors came out with a pair of big scissors and wearing a mask with scissors on it. Scissors ends up winning the match by defeating paper. This is a rivalry, however, that I doubt we've seen the last of.

The final match is the elimination tag team match to save humanity from the evil Papa Marco and his zombies. There is great teamwork on both sides of this match. Mason and The Phantom pulled off a particularly good double team move. Fred Yehi does beautiful clotheslines. The Curry Kidd not only does a good move called the "curricanrana" but he also put someone in a crossface. Curry Kidd was the first eliminated, and Supernatural was the second. Mason is stuck in the opposing team's corner for a while getting the crap kicked out of him. He has fortitude and perseverance. He won't give up even though he's being beaten. Eli Ellis from worst case scenario is the next eliminated. Yehi is elminated next by Ethan Case. Phantom eliminates Ethan Case next after doing a very cool aerial move. Mason is eliminated by Marco after a chokeslam. It is now down to just Papa Marco and the Phantom. The Phantom wins with a brainbuster. Humanity is saved from the evil zombies.

El Phantasmas, author/creator of the blog Needless Things, was a fun addition as ring announcer. He managed to get a lot of pop for a box of meat that was the grand door prize for the raffle. He made a lot of great jokes throughout the show.

Overall, I really enjoyed this show and I look forward to the next time it happens. 

Alternate Universe---UIW November 10, 2012

Last night my family and I went up to Buchanan, GA to Universal Independent's show. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Haralson County Rec. Complex is a good venue for a show, and I appreciate the fact they open the doors well before bell time so I had time to get snacks, browse around the merchandise booths, and get an autographed picture of one of my favorite stars from my childhood, Robert Gibson of The Rock and Roll Express. When I was 6 years old, my family and I went to see NWA live at the Omni. My favorite tag team at the time was Rock and Roll Express, and I remember seeing them in action that night. It was great to get to talk to one of my childhood heroes. Rock and Roll Express is supposed to be in Tag Team Action at UIW's show on November 17th in Villa Rica.

The show began with all of the wrestlers coming out to the ring for a moment of silence and a 10 bell salute to Brad Armstrong who recently passed away. After this, Josh Storm comes out and cuts a promo. He talks about the concept of "Family First", which it turns out is the name of the team he's a part of.  Josh Storm is set to team up with former WCW star Glacier against The So Fine Mafia and Stupid. Frankie Valentine, who is coming off an injury, comes out to the ring and says he plans to join Josh in the tag team match to even the odds.  The crowd is going crazy to see Josh and Frankie reunited. A 6 man tag team match is set up as the main event.

Match 1: Marko Polo vs. Supernatural
The first match has a 10 minute time limit. Marko Polo struts out with his usual sexiness. I love his swagger and I love his fur coat. The announcer points out that he had a role in Magic Mike. I'm going to go back and watch this film again to find out if this is true. Anyway, he is far too cocky for the crowd here in Buchanan, GA. Tim Mcgraw's "I like it, I love it" hits, and I'm thinking oh their hero is a cowboy...well, out comes a familiar face, or mask rather. Supernatural enters wearing a cowboy hat and dancing to country music. This went over great with the audience. My husband could not stop laughing. I heard a group of kids yell 619 at Supernatural, and I can only assume that they believed he was Rey Mysterio. Marko manages to dominate the first part of this match, however, Supernatural picks up the win by pinning Marko. Supernatural had his foot on the ropes during the pin, but the referee didn't catch it. The audience chanted crybaby at Marko after his loss. Next week at Villa Rica these two are set to face each other again.

Match 2: Common Knowledge Damon Kristopher vs. The Demigod Mason
The next match was certainly my favorite of the night, and it wasn't because of the match itself. I've found a new heel to hate/love, and he is The Wicked Nemesis. He came out with his wrestler, Common Knowledge, Damon Kristopher. For those unfamiliar with the Wicked Nemesis, he has a mohawk and he wears a yellow and black mask. His mask is similar to that worn by Pandora. He yelled in the faces of the crowd, and he called us all sheeple. He told an old lady to "go have a heart attack", and she nearly hit him. As he walked away from her, he said "Someone please sit the mummy down." The lady followed him around the ring and tried to hit him again. Security came down and he pushed the two security guards into her. At this point he says, " If you get in my face, I'll slap you. I don't care how many psalms you wrote." Everything that happened with Wicked Nemesis eclipsed the match for me. Mason won by pinning Damon Kristopher, and Nemesis threw a chair after his man lost.

During the first intermission my son and I went around and collected signatures on our shirts. We wore our PCW shirts to the UIW event in hopes of dragging some of their crowd further south to Porterdale, and because a lot of the wrestlers that were on the card wrestle at PCW.

Match 3: Shane Marx vs UIW Internet Champion Fred Yehi.

Shane Marx enters with his manager Dewitt Dawson and Jay Fury who appears to be videotaping the match for Shane. Yehi gets control of the match at about 8 minutes in. The audience is 100% behind Yehi. What I've noticed most about this match is that Yehi and Marx have very good chemistry. There are lots of nearfalls as both participants go back and forth for dominance. It ends, however, in disqualification. Marx was trapped in Yehi's Koji clutch, when Dawson interfered. It erupted into a big brawl with Jay Fury and Dawson helping Marx beat up Yehi. Mason comes to the ring to intervene on the behalf of Fred Yehi. Two matches have been set up for next week's event in Villa Rica. Jay Fury is set to take on Murder One, and Shane Marx is set to face UIW heavyweight Champion Bull Buchanan.

Match 4: Nina Monet vs. Pandora

I have to remember that each promotion has its own universe, its own set of rules. No! Pandora is a bad guy, I can't cheer for her, my heart is crushed. People here know nothing of the fan favorite Pandora in Porterdale. I'm so used to cheering Pandora and booing Nina that I had a hard time falling in line. Pandora keeps kicking at the photographer when he comes too close to her. When the timekeeper announces that there are only 5 minutes left in the match, the referee is distracted. Pandora manages to get Nina's attention long enough to throw white powder in her face. Pandora pins Nina after cheating. She celebrates her victory.

During the second intermission my son found a group of kids to stage mock wrestling matches with. There is a lot of open space at this facility for kids to run around and have fun together. Also at the second intermission, they mark concessions down to $1 for everything and popcorn for 50 cents. This was good because we generally make multiple concession stand trips at events.

Match 5: Jimmy Rave vs. Bull Buchanan.

Jimmy Rave spent too much time walking around the ring. This match took too long to get started, in my opinion. Bull Buchanan is obviously the crowd's favorite because he is an "everyman" country hero. Jimmy Rave seemed to be a cocky bad guy. Shane Marx and Jay Fury interfered attacking Bull Buchanan. Jimmy Rave picks up a chair and decided to defend Buchanan. Jimmy Rave is a good guy? I'm honestly not certain. The match between Bull Buchanan and Shane Marx is mentioned again. Bull Buchanan cuts a promo. "I don't talk much since everyone else talks too much." He goes on to say there's too much talking and not enough fighting, and that the people who jumped him from behind can jump him to his face. He tells the crowd that if they aren't happy at the end of next week's show he'll personally refund their money. He promised to send Marx away with a special goodbye.

Main Event: So Fine Mafia with Stupid vs. "Family First" (Josh Storm and Frankie Valentine" with Glacier.

The So Fine Mafia are hated by this crowd, but their insults are pretty amusing. They included "I'm holding a title, you're holding a chili dog.", and my personal favorite "Rock and Roll Express better strap on their depends because I'm going to kick the metamucil out of them." The guy also went for cheap heat by telling the very conservative crowd "Yes I voted for Obama." I don't even know why a crowd would consider that an egregious act of heeldom, however, it worked and got him more boos than ever. One of their guys also bills himself as "from anywhere but Buchanan, GA" which I found amusing. Their opponents, the team of Family First, Josh Storm and Frankie Valentine are loved by all. At the merchandise stands they sell little necklaces and hairbows with Josh Storm's picture on them. They also purses with Josh Storm's name painted on them. He is very popular with the young ladies apparently. Josh Storm does have a pretty good dropkick. Former WCW star Glacier still has it. He manages to support the team without stealing the spotlight too badly. He does get the "hot tag", however, and starts laying waste to So Fine Mafia. Stupid sprayed him in the face with something and got disqualified. After that chaos erupts and there is a free for all beatdown. Next week there is going to be a weapons match, and the event is going to be something called "fans bring a weapon" night. That should be extremely exciting. Everyone who is near Villa Rica should go see this show, and I plan to try and make it out to their next Buchanan date.

PCW 11/3/12

The crowd for last night's PCW show in Porterdale was good. The regulars were out in full force.  Outside in line before the show people were discussing the matches on the card, and they were speculating about the main event. Would Sylar Cross be victorious over the "evil" Shane Marx, or would Marx's minions interfere on his behalf? The anticipation surrounding this main event was high.

I personally am very glad that Johnny Danger has temporarily joined the commentary team until he is medically cleared to wrestle. I think he provides a different perspective.

The show started with a tribute to wrestling legend Brad Armstrong who recently passed away. Chip Day made a short speech, and then there was a 10 bell salute.

Mason comes out after this and cuts a great promo. He's not wrestling tonight, however he feels like he's let us down because he won the empire title and lost it so quickly. He's losing his desire, and he doesn't think we appreciate the sacrifices that it takes to be a wrestler. He points to the spot on the floor where he bled during Sacred Ground. The Porterdale crowd loves Mason, and I know they appreciate the lengths he went to to win the title from Shane Marx, billed laughably as "the most hated man in Porterdale". Mason goes on talking for a few minutes and he is interrupted by none other than Miss Rachel. She gives her usual spiel about Shane Marx is best in the world and how he's going to keep the title forever. All I can think is that Empire's dead and they need to pack it up.

The first match was Lance Alonte making his Porterdale debut against Morgan Davis III.  This was a great match. Morgan Davis has changed his theme music to Pour Some Sugar on Me which is one of my favorite songs. Alonte has a lot of really great moves including an awesome superkick. I definitely want to see more from Alonte. Yes I know he's a bad guy, but he was a lot of fun to watch in the ring. Davis picked up the win in the match.

Match 2 was between Dynomite Soul and De La Vega. This crowd loves De La Vega as much as they hate Dynomite Soul. I kept wondering where Dynomite Soul's Kendo stick was. De La Vega gets control of the match early on, and it's obvious the crowd is behind him. Vega has a great leg drop and a springboard double kick. His missile drop kick is extremely awesome. Dynomite soul's coolest move in my opinion is the inverted neckbreaker of which he did two. again, i take a moment to stress I'm not a play by play commentator. Dynomite soul wins the match with a Go To Sleep. I'm notcertain if Dynomite Soul calls his finisher something different from what CM Punk calls it. If anyone does know his specific name for it please let me know. I love it when the heels win matches legitimately and don't cheat. This happens so rarely.

Sexy and I know it hits and out comes Quasi Mandisco in his white pants. He's got a challenge for Johnny Danger because he doesn't understand why Johnny Danger gave up the Priority Male lifestyle of women and cars. Johnny Danger is supposed to pick a man to fight against Najasism. I can't tell you how torn I am here. I want to cheer Najasism badly. I love him, his glitter cloak, his face paint, his posing. He has the charisma and the in ring ability that I love in professional wrestlers. He makes people want to look at him and watch him in a wrestling ring, even if you hate him. Danger chooses Fred Yehi to face Najasism. They shake hands in the ring before the match, and Najasism doesn't even resort to heel tactics of trying to draw Yehi in to a trap. Yehi and Najasism are both athletic. Najasism is acrobatic, and at one point he even did a cartwheel. This match was physical and very high impact. Yehi does a beautiful bridge supplex that I went nuts over. I thought at first that he'd put Najasism in Austin Aries's signature submission Last Chancery, and was quickly corrected by my husband. It is still amazing when someone is flexible and strong enough to be able to do a full bridge like that to pin someone. At one point Quasi tries to tries to interfere by pulling Yehi out of the ring by his ankle, but that was just a mere distraction. Najasism taps to Yehi's koji clutch and Yehi picks up the win. Najasism beats up Quasi after his loss, and I'm reminded of things he's said on twitter of not being affiliated with the Empire even though he agrees with some of their principles. This match was the match of the night in my opinion.

Next came a tag team match where "the loser leaves town". Already I'm kind of not in love with this idea because both teams are really fun to watch. They are both very talented wrestling teams, and the idea of either team no longer being involved with PCW is kind of sad to me. Sean Adams was wearing a shirt that said Gut Check certified. Does this mean he's moving up to TNA or OVW sometime in the near future? I feel the need to do further research on this. The Washington Bullets are Porterdale's favorite wrestlers. They're great in the ring, and they display good teamwork. I really want to love them, and this is a personal preference issue, but I have a hard time getting behind good guys sometimes. The pace of this match was good, and both teams work well together. I kind of expected the Washington Bullets would win because they are Porterdale's heroes, and I'm a little sad to see God's Gift to Wrestling leave PCW. I think they are a very talented team.

During intermission flyers for Monstrosity Championship Wrestling were distributed. I will be attending this event mainly because they are advertising a fight between rock, paper and scissors. This above all other matches on the card piques my interest. The show takes place Friday November 16th at Club Famous in Atlanta.

After intermission we got Brian Blaze vs. Chip Day. The big thing I noted about this match is that Blaze's pal Geter wasn't here to interfere. This gave Chip a decided advantage. Chip Day came out to the squeals of the crowd. Chip Day wins this one and the crowd goes crazy.

Our main event pitted Sylar Cross vs. Shane Marx for the "unified" title. Miss Rachel comes out holding both belts to the booing and hissing of the crowd. Sylar cross enters and he is loved by everyone. Marx enters and he knows he's hated. He plays it to the hilt soaking up every bit of hatred and loving every minute of it. The crowd was chanting Let's go Sylar, We hate Marx. The ending of the match was disqualification as the referee is distracted. Rachel throws the belt to Shane Marx.  Shane Marx hands the belt to Sylar and then falls to the ground as if he'd been hit, when the referee turns back it appears to him that Sylar hit Marx with the belt. Marx retains and Mason comes out and challenges Marx to a rematch. The main event for the next show will be a tag team match Mason and Sylar Cross vs. Shane Marx and Dynomite Soul. Even though the title isn't at stake, this will be a heated contest.

Are the priority males going after Najasism for beating up their man, Quasi? What revenge does Sylar Cross have planned since Marx and Rachel cheated yet again to maintain their title? Is the evil Empire back to its old ways even though it was supposedly defeated at Sacred Ground? We'll find out November 17th, 6pm, in Porterdale GA. You can bet that I'll be there.
