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.
