Platinum Championship Wrestling--December 21, 2013--Porterdale, GA

Chip Day and Sylar Cross started the show by interrupting Shane Mackey and Dynomite Soul's introduction.  They dragged Dynomite to the ring and began beating him up.  They told someone with a video camera that they weren't pointing at the real show. Chip then stated that Mason had really fell off because he lost to Chip Day. Chip also said about Fred Yehi "I get that he can run 8 miles an hour. That's impressive. I'm not trying to be the best at exercising.  I'm trying to be the best wrestler in the company."

They locked up, and Moore backed Polo into the corner. Moore slapped Polo and Polo returned with a slap of his own.  Moore kicked Polo and Polo caught his foot.  Polo cornered Moore and chopped him. Moore punched Polo then whipped him into the corner.  Polo reversed Moore's armbar attempt into an armdrag.

Blaze started the match in control of Walker.  They played on the opening segment with Walker being off his game because of the attack from Cross. Walker missed an elbow. Shane tags Blaze back in and Blaze tortured Walker's knees.  Blaze and Shane managed to cut off the ring, isolating Walker.  Shane put Walker in a figure four around the ringpost.  While the referee was distracted, Blaze terrorized Walker outside the ring.  Blaze put Walker into a half crab, then put Walker's foot onto the rope, and landed on it with all his weight for maximum damage to the leg.  Walker finally managed a tag to Armour, and Armour did several big clotheslines, followed by a running knee and a powerbomb to Shane.  Walker tagged himself in. He speared Shane then punches him.  Blaze tagged himself back in, and laid waste to Dynomite winning the match.  Dynomite lay prone in the ring, and Armour had to help him out. The attack from Mice and Men messed his knee up, and he left with a noticeable limp.

Match 3: De La Vega vs. Mike Posey

De La Vega grabbed the mic from commentator Shane Mackey and said "What is this match? Why am I wrestling Mike Posey? I believe I am the rightful Platinum Championship Guy."  Mike Posey showed off by doing a split on the ropes.  Posey asked De La Vega to shake hands, and it looked like De La Vega would comply, but he attempted to kick Posey instead.

NWA Atlanta--December 14, 2013--Griffin, GA

The acoustics were terrible in the venue, and there were only 3 matches on the card. The second match was a 20 man Royal Rumble style match, and it was awesome. There were a lot of twists and turns, and the crowd really got into the various rivalries built within.

Match 1: Billy the Kid and Osborne vs. The BFF's

It was odd that the BFF's were getting cheers from this audience. The BFF's spent too much time outside the ring, and it took a long time for the match to get started.  The BFF's picked up the win when Marvelous Michael pinned Osborne.

Match 2: 20 man Saturday Night Rumble:

The participants were as followed: 1: Fry Daddy, 2: Stupid, 3: Frankie Valentine, 4: Simon Sermon, 5: J-Rod, 6: Zac Edwards, 7: Rick Michaels, 8: Rey Guapo, 9: Drew Adler, 10: Matt "Sex" Sells, 11: Drew Game, 12: Santa Claus, 13: King Conga, 14: Bill the Butcher, 15: Luke Gallows, 16:Marvelous Michael Stevens , 17: Adorable Anthony Andrews, 18: Southside Trash, 19: Brian Daniels, 20: Pain.

The match worked like the Royal Rumble where two participants start out in the ring and another enters every two minutes until all 20 men have entered the ring. Elimination occurred when a participant was thrown over the top rope and both feet touched the floor. Order of Elimination was as followed: 1. Stupid, 2: Frankie Valentine, 3: Rey Guapo, 4: Drew Game, 5: Santa Claus, 6: Rick Michaels, 7: Simon Sermon, 8: Matt "Sex" Sells, 9: Fry Daddy, 10: Zac Edwards, 11: Drew Adler, 12: King Conga, 13: Southside Trash, 14: Brian Daniels, 15: Marvelous Michael Stevens, 16: Adorable Anthony Andrews, 17: Luke Gallows, 18: Bill T. Butcher, 19: Pain. The winner was J-Rod. I'd expected that Pain would win, and that the rivalry between Andy Anderson and Pain would be renewed.  J-Rod now gets a shot at the GA Heavyweight title at NWA Atlanta's next show on January 11th.

Simon Sermon and his flaming nipple lights stole the match for a moment during his entrance.  Zac Edwards wore a Christmas Sweater vest that was charming and awesomely awful.  Rick Michaels attempted to get audience adoration by bringing an adorable dog to the ring. Frankie Valentine did quite a few nice spots in the match.  Drew Game just walked around the ring for a long time during his entrance and was eliminated about a second after the referee made him enter. He pitched a nice little fit and the referee had to remove him from ringside.  Matt Sells and Fry Daddy got into a brawl outside the ring because Matt elminated Fry Daddy after he'd already been eliminated himself.  They had a street fight of their own that excited the crowd. Matt's really become good at getting heat lately, and since Fry Daddy's NWA's favorite face of the moment, this is building into the best rivalry the promotion has. Pain accidentally eliminated partner, Bill T. Butcher, and that will likely add to the tension between the two of them. Their valet, Black Widow, certainly looked the part tonight in her leather pants and high boots. She still was very quiet and a little stiff. This match brought sunshine to a  lackluster show.

Match 3: Tyson Dean vs. Andy Anderson for the GA Heavyweight Championship

Kurt Kilgore was his usual adorable, obnoxious self, and as usual he was the best part of the match.  It was a no disqualification match, but there was little interference from Kilgore and little use of outside weapons other than a couple of chair shots from Dean to Anderson. I was way up in the bleachers, and I could see everything, so it was obvious to me when Dean hit Anderson with a chair that he really hit the steps. Tyson Dean won by choking Andy Anderson out.  The crowd was kind of dead for this match. I expected a lot more venom from the crowd when Dean won.

NWA Atlanta is taking a break for the holidays, and their next show will be on January 11th.

Platinum Championship Wrestling---December 7, 2013---Porterdale, GA

There were about 30 people in attendance.  The place felt like a graveyard. The crowd size was down, the diehard fans tried to muster enthusiasm, but it was dead.

The opening match pitted Sylar Cross against newcomer Eric Mayne.  Mayne beat Cross by using his weight against him and rolling him up.  Sylar was a sore loser and beat Mayne up.  The crowd yelled "Loser" at Sylar.

De La Vega, Ricky Nugent, and Adrian Armour participated in a triple threat match. It was good to see Priority Male Ricky Nugent return to Porterdale.  I found this match to be confusing and boring.  It did manage to set up a feud between Adrian Armour and De La Vega, but it didn't connect with me on any emotional level.  Adrian Armour won the battle, and he and De La Vega did a pose off at each other.

Sugar Shane faced Dynomite Soul Eric Walker. Sugar Shane tried to exit the match early by running back up the stairs, but Dynomite dragged him back to the ring.  Dynomite Soul won the match with a running knee to Shane.

Johnny Danger came to the ring for his popular Johnny Danger time segment. He still sported sunglasses.  He said that the past couple months were the lowest point of his life, but his fans had stood behind him through all of it.  He sang "Amazing Grace" at us to illustrate that he was once was blind but now he sees.  Responsibility was the theme of the segment.  He felt partially responsible for the stranglehold that Quasi Mandisco has on PCW.  He held Quasi responsible for the scar on his face, and stated that even though management would no longer allow him to wrestle because of his previous injuries, he wasn't dressed to wrestle, he was dressed for a fight.  Quasi Mandisco insulted the fans, and then he presented Johnny Danger with a restraining order that stated that Johnny Danger wasn't allowed to come within 2000 feet of him at any time.  He said if Johnny Danger violated that order that he'd sue PCW, Tim Savage, and Stephen Platinum. Shane Mackey kicked Johnny Danger out of the building, and according to reports on Facebook Johnny Danger's been fired from PCW. PCW is really putting the fans through the emotional wringer right now.

Mason came out and said he wasn't here to wrestle.  Chip Day attacked him from behind after Jeff G. Bailey said "Life is hard, but it's a lot harder when you're stupid. You say you're not here to wrestle, well, you don't have a choice. The match raged on. Mason went for the scales of justice and knocked out referee Chuck Porterfield.  Sylar slammed Mason, and Chip hit him with a leather belt and then choked him with it.  Chip pinned Mason because Sylar woke the ref after all that punishment.

Mason told Shane Mackey to cut the music. He wanted to set up a tag match pitting himself and Supernatural against Chip Day and Sylar Cross since Chip Day wants to take on former champions. Chip reminded Mason that he'd been run out of PCW and can no longer wrestle due to the stipulation of his match with Shane Marx at Sacred Ground.  Instead of Mice and Men will know face Fred Yehi and Supernatural. PCW will return to Porterdale on December 21st.
