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.
