Midweek preview for the weekend of May 3-5 2013.

Are you a wrestling fan in the state of GA looking for a show to see this weekend? There are several shows this weekend that you may be interested in checking out.

Friday night Monstrosity Championship Wrestling is having a show at Club Famous. The show starts at 9pm and tickets are $10. Monstrosity Championship Wrestling is best described as a mash-up of monster movies and professional wrestling. The highlight of this show will be MCW champion Phantom defending his belt against the evil Papa Marko.

Saturday May 4, Universal Independent Wrestling is having a show at Villa Rica Elementary School. The doors open at 6:30 pm with an 8:00 pm bell time. Ringside seats are $8, and general admission bleacher seating is $6. Kids 6 and under get in free with a paid adult. This card is packed with talent from top to bottom. Murder One is scheduled to challenge Bull Buchanan for the UIW heavyweight title. Stupid is scheduled to face Drew Adler. Drew Adler, in my opinion, is one of the hottest rising stars in the state of GA right now. Bobby Moore is taking on another of my favorite wrestlers, Fred Yehi. Universal Independent Wrestling is putting on great shows right now, and if you are in the West Georgia area you should check them out.

Peachstate Wrestling Alliance is placing themselves in direct competition with Universal Independent Wrestling this Saturday. I've never attended a show at Peachstate, but this looks like it will be an interesting show. Rick Michaels is set to take on former commissioner Shane Noles in a street fight. Street fights are always fun to watch. The other match that will likely be a crowd pleaser is Simon Sermon vs. Zach Daniels for the GA Jr. Title. I enjoy Simon Sermon's attitude and his outfits. He is always fun to watch.  Finally, I'd bet that Trevor Aeon vs. Dusty McWilliams will be a good match as Trevor Aeon is quickly becoming a hot talent in both Georgia and Alabama. Doors open at 6:30 with a 7:30 bell time. For information on tickets you can call 770-328-1162. Prices weren't listed on the poster unfortunately.

If you are curious where the Wrestling Fan Girl will be on Saturday,  I am attending Chikara's first ever GA show live in Porterdale at 7pm Saturday night. Chikara is what would happen if you pitted comic superheroes against comic villains. There are goblins, snakes, ants, and luchadors of all shapes and sizes. The grand champion of Chikara is set to face Mark Angelosetti, aka Mr. Touchdown. Green faced demons, The Batiri, are set to face the current tag team champions 3.0. The prince of Goblins, Kobald, is supposed to take on Amasis. There are many other great matches on this card. Tickets for this show for general admission seating are $20. Children under 12 are free.

Rounding out the weekend, Pro Wrestling Resurrection is having a $5 Cinco De Mayo show. Matt "Sex" Sells is putting his career on the line against the career of "The Rage" Ryan Michaels. One of them will have to give up wrestling at PWR forever. Chris Damian, Kevin Blue, members of the Reckoning, The Rock and Roll Models and The Undead Luchadors are also scheduled to appear at this event. The show I attended a few weeks ago was red hot, and if PWR continues with that momentum, they are set to become an amazing company. 

NWA Atlanta Wargames 4/27/13

NWA Atlanta had a big Wargames event last night at Stockbridge Middle School. The place was packed, but it felt less like a crowd ready for a wrestling match, and more like a crowd ready to watch a theatrical performance. It took them a while to get into the action. The wrestlers put on a good show, but I don't believe they connected well with the audience to draw them into what went on in the ring.

The first match was a fatal four way style gauntlet match. It began with Drew Adler, Zack Edwards, Matt Sells, and Shaun Banks. As each person got eliminated, another would take his place. Matt Sells and Drew Adler tried hard to work up the crowd upon their entrances. Zack Edwards trash talked and stood on the ring post trying to gauge how much the crowd hated him. Shaun Banks comes out and swivels his hips and the women all take out their phones to take pictures of him. Edwards was eliminated first, and he was replaced by Marko who essentially is pretty and he knows it. Matt Sells was eliminated soon after, and he was replaced by this small masked wrestler who I believe was named El Guapo. He lasted only a few minutes, and was immediately replaced by Fry Daddy. Shaun Banks was eliminated and replaced by the teenager Kody Jack. Fry Daddy ended up besting all his opponents and winning the Metro Atlanta Extreme Championship.

The BFF's fought the team known as Totally Insane next. The BFF's won this one.

The next match was a loser has to wear a dress match. Mike Cannon fought Kurt Kilgore. Kurt Kilgore is the manager of the main heel faction Prince Akbar and his Afghan Assassins. He yells insults at the audience and they yell back. A little girl who was sitting behind me told me how much she hates him. Her mother explained that one time they sat on the front row. The little girl was yelling in Kilgore's face and waving a glow stick at him. He took the glow stick and snapped it in half, so now he's got a hater for life. Kilgore got his Afghan assassin friends to come out and beat up Mike Cannon. They put the dress on Mike Cannon and put on their little headdresses and left. I give Kilgore a lot of credit for firing up the crowd against his faction. An old man attempted to hit him with a cane as he left the ringside area.

The next match was a triple threat match for the NWA Atlanta Championship. Bill the Butcher, Pain, and AJ Steele competed for this honor. Bill the Butcher and Pain have a very cool looking gimmick. They wear black and look a lot like Road Warriors.  Bill the Butcher and Pain are accompanied by Jersey Girl, who is essentially a Snookie wannabe. The crowd did pop for AJ Steele upon his entrance. The action spilled out of the ring several times. When the action spills out of the ring, please stay in your seat. Don't follow the action. AJ Steele retained his title. 

The main event was the War Games match. Akbar and his Afghan assassins took on Rick Michaels, Simon Sermon, Bobby Hayes, and Fry Daddy. Fry Daddy never made it out to the ring because the minions beat him up. The patriot also got beat up before he was able to make it out to the ring. The crowd yelled USA during the War games match to cheer on The Patriot. Rick Michaels used a chair effectively to crunch a guy's crotch. Finally, as it looked like our heroes were going to be overwhelmed, Andy and Axl Anderson returned to save the day. Prince Akbar tapped to a move similar to the sharpshooter.

NWA Atlanta has their next event May 11th in Locust Grove. 

PCW 4/20/13

Platinum Championship Wrestling put on a great show in Porterdale, GA. The crowd was on fire, and the building was packed.

Demigod Mason returned this week in action against JAM, Coach Fred Avery's minion. Mason won the match. Coach is very disappointed in his minion. No idea if he plans on firing him or not. Coach needs to get rid of that whistle, stop calling time outs, and focus on really training his minions.

Tag team action was hot in Porterdale this week.  3 matches on the card were tag team contests. Geter and Brian Blaze took on a new team called The Movement. The Movement was accompanied by Priority Males manager Quasi Mandisco. The crowd reluctantly supported Geter and Blaze which led to chants of "Let's go Brian, This is awkward" and "Lesser Evil." Geter and Blaze won the match.

Sylar Cross and Chip Day took on God's Gift to Wrestling. The audience yelled Gut Check Reject at Adams, who is actually in the voting bracket for TNA Gutcheck. He's in bracket 15 which will be voted on in late May. Check Impactwrestling.com to vote for him and other Gut Check contestants. Sylar and Chip got the win here, and the audience roared in approval.

.Worst Case Scenario took on the Washington Bullets. Porterdale loves the Bullets. Worse case scenario cheated to get the win during this match.

The highlight of the evening was the main event match between Supernatural and Jagged Edge. Miss Rachel hit Supernatural with a chair, but Supernatural managed to kick out. Jagged Edge hit him with a chain, but he managed to kick out. Every thing the wicked Jagged Edge tried to do him could not keep him down. When Rachel interfered, an old lady in the audience got up in her face, and security had to intervene. I cannot stress this enough, when you are at a wrestling show, you can say whatever you want to the talent, but you cannot touch them. They are not supposed to touch you either. Scream, yell, insult, but don't put your hands on anyone. Supernatural retained his PCW title showing that size and strength are less important than perseverance and heart. 

Pro Wrestling Resurrection ACS Charity/Free show 4/14/13

Pro Wrestling Resurrection is moving their weekly Friday show to Sundays at 3pm in the Mega Mart in Gainesville. The Mega Mart is a flea market that sells clothes, shoes, toys, and electronics, and PWR has their wrestling arena in the back of the flea market. To celebrate their move to Sunday afternoon, they had a free show. They sold baked goods and raffle tickets to benefit the American Cancer Society. The show was packed, and hopefully it wasn't just because it was free.

PWR did a great job today trying to connect with the audience. The show was fun from start to finish. The opening contest between Jacob Ashworth and Kevin Blue featured a lot of good wrestling. It ended in a time out draw.   Rick Michaels and Supernatural put on a match with a lot of great comedy spots in it. Chris Damian retained his championship and had the entire audience behind him chanting USA.

 The main event featuring the Rock and Roll models against members of the Reckoning was great. I now refer to the Reckoning as "the bronies" mostly because of Zach Daniels and his partner's vibrant colored ring gear. Zack Daniels is Twilight Sparkle, his partner is Rainbow Dash, Rick Michaels is Pinkie Pie (he happened to be wearing pink today), and Jacob Ashworth is Applejake (Applejack). They don't have a Fluttershy or a Rarity.  The main event ended in an all out brawl that left the crowd wanting more.

If PWR can continue with this momentum, they won't have any trouble maintaining a good crowd. I plan on attending again very soon.
