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.
