Pro Wrestling Resurrection 9/22/13

The crowd for this show was non-existent. There were only 19 people total, and this blogger isn't privy to numbers of how many of those weren't somehow connected to the show. The show felt boring, and it was only two hours long. Nothing really drew my interest. PWR is cutting back their schedule to monthly shows, and will be running on the second Sunday of each month.

Match 1: Kevin Blue vs. Zach Daniels (Champion vs. Champion)
No Contest

The first contest pitted U.S. Champion Kevin Blue against Heavyweight Champion Zach Daniels. Kevin Blue is the recognized U.S. Champion, but Marko has the belt.They called the wrestlers out before there was a referee in the ring. Then it appeared that they tried to cover the fact that the referee was late by having the competitors and the referee switch roles. It was an attempt at cuteness, but it fell flat.  The match was interrupted by The Fraternity, who beat up both competitors.The match was ruled a no contest.   Marko stole a Kevin Blue shirt from the table, and put it on and mockingly said he was Kevin Blue's biggest fan. Kevin Blue chased him out of the building. Jacob Ashworth came out to mock Zach Daniels saying that he became champion while he was with the Reckoning but he's losing without them. The match between Zach Daniels and Jacob Ashworth was set for December 8th. Both Daniels and Ashworth were given the rest of the night off. If Jacob Ashworth lays a finger on Zach Daniels before their match on December 8th, then he'll lose his title shot.

Match 2:

The Fraternity (Geter and Brian Blaze with Marko) vs. William Huckaby and Dave Sanders
Winners: The Fraternity

William Huckaby sells really well. Geter's chops look menacing.  Brian Blaze got the pin for The Fraternity, and as usual they cheated. There was the greatest fan sign across the way that read "Geter, Please don't eat me. I want to live."

Match 3: Chad Case vs. Cousin Cletus
Winner: Cousin Cletus

The crowd really got into Cousin Cletus's silliness. He tried to connect with the audience by square dancing with them.  Cousin Cletus won the match because Chad Case's attempt to throw powder backfired, and the powder ended up in his own face.

Match 4: Matt Sells vs. Joe Black
Winner: Matt Sells

. The match starts out a little slow as Joe Black refused to wrestle until the crowd stopped cheering for Matt, then Matt decides he'll take a little break too. Matt Sells has improved a lot over the past few months, and this was a pretty good match as a result.  There was one funny moment in the match where Joe Black is accused of pulling Matt's hair and Joe says he was trying to kill a spider in it. Matt pinned Joe Black, and the crowd cheered for that. The Rock and Roll models are the most popular wrestlers in PWR.

After a brief intermission came All Sells Final. Joey Kidman wasn't there, so they chose security guard Troy Bennett as their third judge. The contestants Kevin Ballenger and Aja  went through karaoke, cheesy pick up lines, and finally their special talents. In the end, both were picked to join the Rock and Roll Models. Quasi came out and said "No one cares." He then says that his people will show us all what wrestling is.

Match 5: Johnny Danger and Aja vs. Adrian Armour and Grundy
Winners: Adrian Armour and Grundy

I like PWR's mixed gender matches because they are actually mixed gender. They don't follow the rules that WWE sets where the same gender opponent must immediately be tagged.  Aja is very cute and has a good personality. She's got a lot of potential. The match was won because Adrian Armour hit Johnny Danger in the head with his tag team belt while the referee was distracted.  He then pulled Grundy on top of Danger and she picked up the pin. The match seemed messy, and it didn't hold my interest. After the match, Aja beat up Quasi, and they had to help him out of the ring. It was kind of funny when they rolled him out of the ring and let him fall to the floor.

Main Event:
Rico Suave, Supernatural, Marko and Kevin Ballenger in a 4 way elimination match for #1 contender to the PWR Heavyweight Title.

I enjoyed the spot where Rico Suave had Supernatural on the chair and he kicked him off it. Marko eliminated Supernatural and Supernatural's mom threw a drink at Marko for beating up her baby. Security did nothing, and as a result it felt manufactured.  Marko won the match by pinning Ballenger. The Fraternity came to beat up Ballenger, but the Rock and Roll Models intervened. The Fraternity are supposed to take on the Rock and Roll Models on October 13th.

Platinum Championship Wrestling 9/21/13

Attendance was down from last show, an estimated 50.  The die-hards came out, but it seemed no one wanted to brave the rainy weather. 

The show began with Rachel talking about how that little "wanna-be" cheerleader Aria needs to mind her own business and keep her nose out of places it doesn't belong when it comes to Joey Kidman's match against Bobby Moore at Sacred Ground 4.  Chip and Sylar took the microphone next, and they announced they are giving their points accumulated during the Tag Team Season to Los Ben Dejos, a tag team coming in from Florida for Sacred Ground.  This worked because Chip and Sylar have singles matches during Sacred Ground which are more important to the overall story arc.  If that weren't the case, them giving up their shot at being tag team champions wouldn't really speak to me, as they seem currently to want all the gold and all the glory. Jeff G. Bailey was suspended because he didn't make his previous engagement to be handcuffed to Johnny Danger. Jeff G. Bailey rarely stays gone for long, so I'm pretty sure he'll make an appearance at Sacred Ground.

Match 1: Sugar Shane and Josh Colter vs. The Washington Bullets

Winners: The Washington Bullets.

The match was explosive with lots of twists and turns. Both teams worked really well together. Sugar Shane and Josh Colter play cocky heel in a lovely fashion, and they made you really want the Bullets to slap them down.  The Bullets won this match the way they do best by double teaming the opposition. 

Match 2: Matt Von Reaper vs. El Zombie Mascaras

Winner: El Zombie Mascaras

When two faces fight each other, the crowd's loyalties are torn. In this case, both Matt Von Reaper and Zombie Mascaras are crowd favorites, and the crowd seemed afraid to get solidly behind either wrestler for fear of hurting the other's feelings. This doesn't work well because the audience sits there quietly, and there are no real emotional moments. The two wrestlers shook hands at the beginning of the match. Zombie Mascaras appears to be a more solid wrestler than Matt Von Reaper though Matt Von Reaper has a more compelling character.  Reaper did get a tiny bit of audience support, but the audience really sat through the match with little response. Zombie pinned Von Reaper after a nice slam, and he was really sweet after his win and held up Reaper's hand too. 

Match 3: De La Vega vs. Dynomite Soul

Winner: De La Vega

De La Vega came out accompanied by Quasi Mandisco. Quasi Mandisco was brilliant. He nearly made the audience revolt.  He went off on someone about what a real man was, and managed to make them angry enough they left for a bit. They came back in a few minutes.  Bad guys exist to make the audience hate them, and Quasi Mandisco really did his job at this show.  When he was told he really upset the crowd he said I don't give a damn about them. Dynomite Soul came out after that to play  hero, and the wrestling portion of this segment began.  Vega plays the part of cowardly scum well, as he kept leaving the ring to avoid having to face Dynomite Soul.  Vega got the pin because Dynomite was distracted by having to deal with Quasi's shenanigans.

Next we had Johnny Danger Time.  Johnny Danger started by saying "Everyone's afraid of something." An older lady in the audience said "Nope." Danger responded "Well you're hardcore." He then asked audience members what they were afraid of, and one responded spiders. Johnny Danger said to the young man, "Marry someone tougher than you to kill them for you." Danger said "I'm afraid of heights, but if my best friend Supernatural can climb a ladder to win the belt then I can climb a ladder tonight." He climbed to the top of the ladder, and Chip Day and Sylar Cross came out. They told him he had to shut his show down. He responded "You buttholes ended my career. You're not taking my show." It looked like Sylar and Chip would knock him off the ladder, but Marko and Supernatural came out to his aid. The audience went crazy out of concern that Sylar and Chip would succeed in their efforts to hurt Johnny Danger. Chip Day is deliciously evil, and he makes one want to slap the smirk right off his face.

Match 4: Dementia De Rose and Warhorse 10101 vs. Big F'n Deal (Brian Blaze and Geter)

Winners: Big F'n Deal

Dementia De Rose spoke about the first ever women's trinity match in Sacred Ground History. She warned Mia Yim and Leva Bates, "When you step into my ring, you step into my nightmare."  This match was a squash, which was expected since a Warhorse was involved. This match was less about the match itself and more about setting up for Sacred Ground.  Big F'n deal were the 2012 Tag Team Season winners, and they said "This is our place, our show, we are a big F'n deal." The bullets came out and got in their faces, and De La Vega came out and proclaimed that he would be Tag Team Champions. He's scheduled to compete at Sacred Ground with a mystery partner. 

Main Event: Of Mice and Men (Chip Day and Sylar Cross) vs. Supernatural and Marko Polo

Winners: Supernatural and Marko Polo

Of Mice and Men inspire true hatred from the Porterdale crowd.  The match took a minute to get started as fighting took place outside the ring, but this really established how much these two teams despise each other.  When it looked like Of Mice and Men were going to lose this contest, Sylar hit Marko with the stretcher causing a disqualification.  They attacked referee Chuck Porterfield for calling the match a disqualification. The entire locker room came out after they attacked the referee, and an all out brawl ensued.  Tensions were at an all time high, but then everything drastically halted as the Sacred Ground 4 trailer began playing on the screen. The pause was awkward and completely unnatural.  The video paused for a minute because it had to buffer, and Brian Blaze yelled "Hit somebody." and the brawl restarted.  The trailer's placement in the show interrupted the flow of the action immensely.

At the very end of the show, Supernatural came out to the ring with a ladder holding both belts. He climbed to the top of the ladder and laid both belts up there. The image of the belt at the top of the ladder was the last thing the crowd saw before they exited the building. This show was pretty good, but it felt less like a show and more like a teaser trailer for the bigger event, Sacred Ground 4, which is set to take place at 7pm on October 5th.

The definition of a good show

 I've gotten feedback from various people on the recaps that I write, and most of them say that I'm too soft on shows, and I think that is true. I am unwilling to come right out and say that a show made no sense or that it was terrible. The main reason I've held back for so long is because I felt the need to draw more fans to independent wrestling. I felt the need to let people know about various promotions and what they offer. The time for that is over.

I go to an independent wrestling show almost every weekend in order to keep this blog varied and interesting. I watch shows that are amazing, and I watch shows that make wonder why they exist. Most exist on a sliding scale somewhere in between.  Does it bother me that a dreadful show can draw 300 people while a stellar show only draws 100? It bothers me more I realized. It bothers me that my reviews could be seen as propaganda in support of dreadful wrestling shows simply because I've never felt qualified enough to voice my real opinion.

I've struggled over the definition of a good show for the past few days, and the answer is so simple that it should have hit me months ago. Make me care.  Tell me a story, and draw me into your world.  If I'm cheering for faces or booing heels just out of habit, then it's not enough.  Elicit a genuine emotional response from me.  Look me in the eyes, insult me, rip my heart out, and make me scream.  Make me laugh, make me cry, make me feel.  Make me look forward to what happens next. If you're a heel, you should be pure evil. Your job is doubly hard because you've got to be evil enough to make me care about the hero. If you're a face, make me love you.

I'm certain there are other opinions on what makes a good wrestling show, but those are what I plan to judge shows on from here on out.  It's not personal at all. It's just what I feel is best for the fans. 

Southern Fried Championship Wrestling 9/14/13

The National Guard Armory in Monroe was packed with approximately 300 wrestling fans.  The show began 45 minutes late because they were having problems with their ring, and the ring needed a major overhaul. When the show began, the ring was shaky, and it seemed to slide back and forth when the guy who ran the ropes tested it.  While fans waited, several popular faces signed autographs and mingled with fans.  Leatherface, who is patterned after the psychotic killer in Texas Chainsaw massacre, is a fan favorite at Southern Fried Championship Wrestling, and he posed for pictures with children and gave out high fives. Ian saw him and smiled. He ran up to him, shook his hand, and came back and said "Mom, he's a face." Leatherface signed Ian's show poster, and he could not have been a happier child.

The show started with the president, Big Charlie. He called Ace Heffner to the ring to explain his actions at the previous show. He locked Vic Roze out of the cage at their previous War Games event, so he was unable to compete.  Vic stood at the door waiting to see what transpired between Charlie and Ace. Ace said that he locked Vic out of the cage for himself. He wanted these redneck fans to come to the shows to see him rather than come to see Vic. 

Ace told the manager of The Company that he wanted to buy a spot in the Heavyweight Tournament.  He wanted to buy Vic Roze's spot. It wasn't for sale though.  He asked if he could buy Chris Nelms' spot instead. They stood there talking about Nelms, and Nelms was near the announcer's booth still within earshot of the conversation. He had no reaction to the idea that his manager just sold his spot in the tournament, and he would no longer be in competition for the heavyweight title. Ace said that his entry in the tournament would be King Conga, the 400 pound monster from the Congo.  The crowd begins chanting USA.   

The first four matches were part of the first round of the tournament to crown the first SFCW Heavyweight Champion. 

Match 1: King Conga vs. Leatherface

Leatherface started out pretty strong when he and Conga locked up intially.  After the first exchange between the two, Conga left the ring for a five count to compose himself.  Conga headbutted Leatherface several times in the corner.  The referee was distracted several times allowing Heffner and Conga's other handler interfere.  Conga tried to put Leatherface in a sleeper, but Leatherface got up.  He gave several shots to Conga's abdomen.  Conga headbutted Leatherface, and he managed to get him down for the pin.  Conga threw something in the referee's eyes and then he beat Leatherface up with his chainsaw after the bell rang.  Leatherface advanced to the next round of the tournament because he won by disqualification.

Match 2: Bodacious Blade vs. Monster Maul

Blade began like he was going to really fight, but he faked Maul out.  Blade sat on Maul on the rope, and there were more heel shenanigans as Blade's manager distracted the referee.  Maul chopped Blade in the chest, and he hit him in the corner with a headbutt.  The second time Maul attempted to get him in the corner Blade tripped him. Blade locked in a sleeper hold on Maul and managed to get the win.

Match 3: Terry Lawler vs. Jason Blackman

Terry Lawler was amusing as a cocky heel that taunted the audience. He posed for a group of female fans, and his rear end received a cheer.  The match started out pretty good. Lawler did a neckbreaker and got a pin, but Blackman kicked out.  The action spilled out of the ring as both men did their best to gain control.  Lawler got a pin again, but Blackman got his foot on the rope.  Lawler hid brass knuckles in his tights and used them while the referee's back was turned, but it didn't matter. Despite his attempt to cheat, Blackman prevailed by using a small package.

Match 4: Roscoe Ray vs. Vicious Vic Roze

Vicious Vic Roze is truly over with the Monroe crowd.  It could be because of his easily chanted catch phrase "Who's Your Daddy?"

Vic dominated the match for the few minutes that it lasted before The Empire made a run in, and attacked both men.  The match was declared a no contest though the crowd chanted "5 more minutes." There were only 3 men who made it to the next round of the tournament.  

Match 5: The Empire vs. Pain and Pleasure

After a 10 minute intermission, Dewitt Dawson came out and trashed the Monroe crowd in typical heel manager fashion. He then said The Empire would take on all comers to prove they were the best tag team.  Pandora and Nina Monet, collectively known as Pain and Pleasure answered their call.  The Empire seemed reluctant to fight them at first, but acquiesed.  Pandora and Shane started off. Pandora hit him in the face then took him down with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. She tagged in Nina who did a leg drop.  Shane tagged in Casey Kincaid who pressed Nina's head into the mat with his knee.  Marx  tagged back in, and he taunted Pandora by holding Nina just out of reach so she couldn't tag. 

Kincaid tagged in for a brief stay, then Marx tagged back in. Nina crawled through Shane's legs and tagged Pandora.  Shane picked up Pandora, and Pandora tried to counter by taking him down. Casey Kincaid and Nina Monet were fighting and Casey was knocked off the apron.  Marx had Pandora pinned, and Nina went to break up the count.  Shane attempted to deal with Nina, and Pandora knocked Shane down by sliding under him.  Nina was still on top of Shane, so Pandora and Nina both pinned Shane for the win.

 Shane and Casey attacked Nina and Pandora because they were angry they'd lost to women. Roscoe Ray and Vic Roze came out to assist Nina and Pandora, and The Empire ran off.  Vic Roze said The Empire showed they weren't real men because real men would never lay their hands on a lady.  That promo diminished the fact that Pain and Pleasure had gone toe to toe with The Empire and won.  Pain and Pleasure came out and accepted the challenge from male team, and they stood strong until The Empire attacked them in a cowardly fashion.

Roscoe Ray will team with Vic Roze to take down The Empire on Oct 26th.  Vic called out The Empire, and said "Why wait till the 26th? If ya'll got the cajones let's do this now." He waited for a minute, then said "If you're not coming out, Empire, we're coming to you, and Vic and Roscoe went backstage to possibly fight with The Empire.

Match 6: Extreme Rumble

Weapons were laid on the edge of the ring, and it was quite the assortment.  There was a bucket, a plastic severed leg, a cookie sheet, a record album, a telephone cord, and a teddy bear. The teddy bear had a jar of hot sauce stuck into the space on its back where stuffing would go. 

The acoustics in the place weren't great, and the music obscured some of the announcements.  Participants included James Powers, The Patriot, The Canadian, Jamie Holmes, Demarko Knight, Fred Yehi, Lobo, Driveby,  a cowboy named Billy with a fringe jacket, and a man whose shiny pants had one short leg and one long leg.  The rules to this match were a bit hard to follow, but it seemed that participants could be eliminated by pinfall or submission anywhere in the arena.  There were no countouts or disqualifications. 

The star of this match was Demarko Knight. He did a DDT to Driveby off the apron, and he also did a good enziguri to Jamie Holmes.  Demarko Knight eliminated the most participants.  Lobo eliminated Jamie Holmes by getting him to tap to an armbar over the rope.  The Patriot and The Canadian spent most of the match behind the crowd, and their portion of the match kind of got lost in the shuffle.  People and weapons were all over the armory. The match devolved into chaos the way that multiple person street fights tend to. Lobo used saran wrap to tie up Driveby.  Lobo reaches out to shake Demarko's hand, but Demarko answers the gesture by using a cutter to eliminate him.  There are no friends in a battle royal.  Demarko does another cutter to Driveby then finishes with a kachina clutch.  Demarko now has a title shot on October 5th in Eatonton. 

Match 7: 4 team Tag Elimination Match: Jacob Ashworth and Supernatural vs. Irish Car Bomb vs. Two guys in Pink and Black vs. Chris and Jerry Nelms

The match was originally scheduled to be a three team elimination match, but The Company's manager came out and said because he gave up Nelms's spot in the Heavyweight Championship Tournament that The Company would be in this match or he'd stay on the microphone until it happened. The match became a four team match, and the winning team would be SFCW Tag Team Champions. As they entered, Chris Nelms took a fan's sign and tried to rip it up, but the fan snatched it back before he finished.  He had to take it a second time to finish the job. 

Jacob Ashworth and Jerry Nelms started. Jacob Ashworth looked good as always. He's toned up and lost a lot of weight. His moves look crisp, and he's progressed a lot in the past year.  Jacob tagged in Supernatural, and they double team Jerry Nelms.  Supernatural tagged Ashworth back, and he continued his assault on Nelms.  Ashworth tagged in a member of Irish Car Bomb, and Jerry tagged in a member of the team wearing pink and black.  This is where things went awry. 

The guy from Irish Car Bomb got a chair and hit one of the guys in pink and black with a chair.  Irish Car Bomb then ran away to the backstage area. The pink and black team stayed outside the ring trying to recover from the attack they received from Irish Car Bomb. Both teams were counted out and eliminated from match. Is there a history between Irish Car Bomb and the other team? The whole thing seemed like nothing more than a device to get rid of two teams quickly, so they could hurry the action along. 

Ashworth takes Supernatural and launches him like a missile. Chris Nelms catches him, but Ashworth jumps at Nelms himself.  Once they returned to the ring, Supernatural attempted to hit Nelms, but it looked like he was hitting a wall.  Nelms tried to squeeze the life out of Supernatural.  Supernatural tags in Ashworth. Ashworth powerbombed Jerry Nelms into the corner then Supernatural double stomped him as Ashworth held him down.  Jerry Nelms hit Supernatural with brass knuckles. The referee did not see it, as he was distracted by Chris Nelms and Ashworth outside the ring.  The Company are now SFCW Tag Team Champions. 

Match 8: Leatherface vs. Jason Blackman

This was the only semi-final match in the tournament because of the "No Contest" ruling in Vic Roze and Roscoe Ray's 1st round match. They chose to have these two face each other and allow Blade to continue onto the final without competing against a second opponent. The reasons for this were unexplained, and it might have made more logical sense to have made the final match a triple threat and skipped this match altogether.  Leatherface delivered a reasonable chokeslam to Blackman a few minutes into the match.  He was distracted by King Conga coming out to the ring, and Jason Blackman was able to capitalize by rolling him up. Jason Blackman won the semi-final match.

Match 9: Blade vs. Jason Blackman

The final match for the Heavyweight title started immediately after the semi-final match. Blade came out swinging.  Blackman clotheslined Blade. Blade threw Blackman into the corner. They fought for a little longer. Blade won by pinning Blackman.  Blade is now the SFCW Heavyweight Champion and The Nelms Brothers are Tag Team Champions. The Company runs everything in SFCW for the moment.

Demarko Knight came out and talked about how he is the current number one contender for the belt, and how he'll beat Blade Oct 5th in Eatonton.

As the crowd left, The Patriot came out and spoke and it was announced that he and The Canadian will have a flag on a pole match where the loser will have to run around the ring three times wrapped in their opponent's flag. 

Southern Fried Championship Wrestling will be in Eatonton on October 5th. 

Platinum Championship Wrestling 9/7/13

The Main Event was packed tonight with rabid wrestling fans, and it was surprising since the UGA hadn't ended. Football season killed attendance last Fall, but PCW fans knew that tonight would be the second to last show before PCW's largest annual event, Sacred Ground, so they came out in droves to witness it. Over the past year, Porterdale embraced PCW and made a community out of it. There is a more devoted fanbase in Porterdale, GA than in any other wrestling show around the area. Could it be because the show is held in such a small venue? Could it be that the same loyal group of fans come to every show? There is no set answer, but tonight's crowd was pumped and ready to see wrestling. 

Shane Marx and Rachel came out.  Rachel informed the crowd that Jeff G. Bailey was not able to make it.  Shane Mackey decided to make things interesting and said they would handcuff Rachel to Johnny Danger during Sylar Cross's match with Supernatural instead. The crowd went crazy for this suggestion, as Rachel is the second most despised character in Porterdale, second only to Quasi Mandisco. 

Mason came out to face Marx, and Marx wasted little time before jumping Mason.  Mason slammed Marx's head into the table. Mason and Marx exchanged blows right in front of us. No match started because they'd not yet entered the ring. This was a fight. They both came to the conclusion that PCW wasn't big enough for the both of them, and their next confrontation would be the final battle between Mason and Shane Marx. Their four year rivalry will end in a Last Man Standing and Loser Leaves Town Match at Sacred Ground 4 on October 5. 

Match 1: Matt Von Reaper vs. Chip Day

Chip Day whaled on Matt Von Reaper from the beginning of the match, and he aggressively kicked Reaper nearly decapitating him.  Matt Von Reaper answered with a nice dropkick of his own.  Chip regained momentum, and there was a beautiful snap to the kicks delivered.  Chip Day from this time last year has returned.  Sylar entered the ring with a stretcher, and hits Reaper with it.  He then picked it up and dropped it on Reaper. Chip tossed Reaper out of the ring and he landed right at my feet.  Marko came out to Reaper's aid, and he said that people like Sylar Cross were the reason why he was afraid to go to school as a kid. He added "I am no longer eight years old" and he and Sylar are scheduled to have a stretcher match at Sacred Ground. The loser will not be able to leave of his own accord, and will have to be carried out on a stretcher.

Match 2: De La Vega and Sugar Shane w/Quasi Mandisco vs. Marko Polo and Joey Kidman w/Aria

Quasi wore a very pretty floral scarf tonight. Shane Mackey made a crack about how Quasi wasn't supposed to wear white after Labor Day. Quasi responded, "The promoter thinks he's a funny guy. You can't make jokes about a grown ass man.  We scoured the United States for a worthy partner, so show your respect for Sugar Shane. 

Joey Kidman and Sugar Shane started out the match. Joey clotheslined Shane after dodging his offense, and he then did an armbar and stomped Shane's arm.  Joey dragged Shane to his corner and tagged in Marko.  Marko wasn't in long before he tagged Joey back in.  Sugar Shane did a big wicked looking leg drop.  Vega threw Kidman into the corner.  Vega distracted the referee with a bogus claim of hair pulling.  The bad guys beat up Joey in the corner while the referee struggled to keep Marko from "illegally" coming in the ring to the aid of his partner who was clearly being cheated.  Vega yelled "Grown Ass Man" before doing an elbow drop. The crowd still hates De La Vega now more than they ever loved him when he was a good guy. 

Things looked bleak for our hero, Joey Kidman, as he was isolated for a while.  Joey ducked under another of Sugar Shane's clotheslines, and he managed to take Sugar Shane down. While Shane was down, Joey managed to tag in Marko.  Marko hit the bad guys' heads together. Marko and Joey won the match. Joey did a spear to Sugar Shane, and Marko got the pin.  Quasi cowered away from Marko as his team exited in defeat. 

Johnny Danger Time:

Johnny Danger did one of the funniest, yet most surreal things in the world, a popular segment known as Johnny Danger time. During the first segment he called a couple kids into the ring and explained to them about the concept of hope. Each of them were asked what they hope for, the first hoped for a PS3, the second a Wii game, and the third was asked to repeat after Johnny Danger who apparently wanted to be kidnapped by aliens who look like Xena: Warrior Princess, be taken back to their home planet where he'd be taught about "love" and have ice cream for breakfast with Godzilla everyday. It seemed that our hero, Johnny Danger, might have overdosed on bad internet fanfiction when broadcasting these hopes. 

He made some serious statements about wanting to pierce Sylar Cross's dark heart and send him to hell. Then he addressed Dynomite Soul in song to the tune of La Bamba. His song was titled "You used to be a butthole." It felt like PCW  crossed into the Twilight Zone.  Dynomite Soul entered the ring like he planned to hit Johnny Danger, but he joined in the song. Quasi came out and tried to appeal to Dynomite saying that he could be the next world champion if he joined with him. Johnny Danger got a pie and gave it to Dynomite to serve.  He offered to share part of the pie with Quasi and Dynomite pied Quasi in the face.  The whole crowd chanted "You got served." Quasi sold the pie shot to the hilt. He fell back like a tree.  Dynomite Soul is now on the side of our heroes. 

Match 3: Sylar Cross w/Miss Rachel vs. Supernatural w/Johnny Danger

This match was a no disqualification match with the stipulation that if Sylar Cross won the match he got five minutes in the ring with Johnny Danger whose PCW career he ended a few weeks prior.  If Supernatural won, he got five minutes in the ring with Rachel. 

Ian yelled "You stink" at Rachel as she passed by, and she responded "You should smell yourself." He said he wanted to throw her in a dumpster. Rachel is reluctantly handcuffed to Johnny Danger. The match was good, but watching Danger and Rachel argue outside the ring was just as amusing. That byplay should have factored into the match more than it did.  Sylar manhandled Supernatural easily for a little while, but he missed a clothesline and then Supernatural hit him in the gut, and managed offense for a short time.  Sylar felled him with a clothesline. Super kicked out of a pin attempt after Sylar threw him around like a baby doll. 

Sylar did a standing supplex to Supernatural, and Supernatural kicked out after another pin attempt.  Supernatural got up on the top rope for a supplex and managed to get Sylar down. Sylar kicked out.  Sylar chopped Supernatural in the chest outside the ring, and he threw him gut first into the apron. Rachel dragged Johnny Danger to the back of the arena, and she introduced a chair into the match. disqualification  and Supernatural ended picking up the chair to try togain advantage.  Sylar punched the chair and the chair hit Supernatural in the face.  Sylar punched Supernatural in the face then threw him into the corner. He picked up the chair and hit the ring. The chair bounced into the rope and hit him in the head.  Supernatural picked up the chair and hit Sylar with it repeatedly knocking him out to win and retain the title.

Supernatural received as an added bonus five minutes in the ring with Rachel. He pulled Rachel's hair and threw her around the ring for a little bit, but Chip Day came out. He and Sylar double teamed Supernatural. Sylar held him up while Chip Day kicked him in the head.  The whole PCW locker room came out and a brawl ensued.  The crowd was at frenzy level by this point.  Aria yelled to Rachel that if she gets involved in Joey Kidman vs. Bobby Moore at Sacred Ground she would get her hands on her herself. 

Match 4: Big F'n Deal (Brian Blaze and Geter) vs. Go Time Eric Jones and Zombie Mascaras

Eric and Geter started. Geter nearly took off Eric's head.  Blaze took out Zombie Mascaras so he could offer no support to his partner. Geter squashed Eric and there was nothing Zombie could do to help.  It was quick, but believable because Geter is a monster.

Match 5: Platinum Royal for a shot at Supernatural's title at Sacred Ground 4

The rules to a Platinum Royal are simple.  Participants are eliminated by being thrown out of the ring and both feet must touch the floor. It does not have to be a top rope elimination. The idea that it doesn't have to be a top rope elimination goes against what fans are used to from television, so it is good that Mackey points out the rules every time they have one.  The last person standing faces the person who eliminates the most competitors in a match to determine the winner. 

Sugar Shane, Chip Day, Sylar Cross, Brian Blaze, Joey Kidman, Dynomite Soul, Matt Von Reaper, Mason, Zombie Mascaras, Marko Polo, Eric Jones and De La Vega participated. Bodies flew everywhere, and Chip Day was the last man standing.  Sylar Cross eliminated the most participants, so now Chip and Sylar had to face each other to determine number one contender.  It was a typical heel team mockery of the concept of a match. They barely slapped at each other and kept asking each other to lay down.  Chip finally pinned Sylar. Did the fans really expect a match from these traitors? Chip yelled at the audience to shut up because they are not part of the show. He let Supernatural pick the stipulation for their championship match at Sacred Ground.  The audience said "Ladders" and it was ladders. Supernatural came out from the back holding a ladder. Ladders are where Supernatural really excels. 

PCW will be back in Porterdale in two weeks on September 21. No matches for that show were announced. All of the matches set were for Sacred Ground on Oct 5th. Since it's the show before the big one, PCW will likely have something memorable.

Until next bell time,
Wrestling Fan Girl.
