Universal Independent Wrestling 5th Anniversary Show--March 29, 2014--Buchanan,GA

300 wrestling fans came to the Haralson County Rec. Center in Buchanan, GA. Some were there to see UIW induct 4 members, Billy Jack, Rob Adonis, "Nightmare" Ted Allen, and "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers, into its initial Hall of Fame Class. The majority, myself included, were attracted by the prospect of seeing Pandora and Nina Monet continue their feud with Smothers Twisted Daughters in a steel cage.

Match 1: Stupid vs. Fry Daddy.
Winner: Fry Daddy

Stupid is one of the best at riling up a crowd for an opening match that I've seen. He typically opens because he has a gift for inciting hatred from the local crowds.  Fry Daddy had great energy from the moment he hit the curtain. The crowd loves Fry Daddy everywhere I've seen him wrestle, so this match worked well because it set the mood for the crowd going forward.  Fry Daddy won the match with a cutter despite Stupid's ringside companion, Tweety's best efforts to distract the referee.

Match 2: Brian Alexander vs. "The Local Scene" Josh Storm
Winner: Josh Storm

Brian Alexander is billed "From a place so dark there is no light." That's kind of cheesy, but he did impress me with the flip off the top turnbuckle at his entrance.  He also did a pretty good back breaker mid match. I'm happy that Josh Storm is back to playing the "local hero" because it's a role that suits him pretty well. Josh won the match with a kick to Alexander's head.  The Mercenary and Brad Lynch came and gave Josh a beatdown after his win.

Match 3: Chip Day vs. Chris Michaels
Winner: Chip Day

Chris Michaels really heeled it up by saying the audience didn't show him the proper respect when he entered.  Michaels slammed Day into the ringpost. Day answered with kicks.  Chris Michaels threw Chip over the rope out of the ring then tossed him into the apron.  Chip got really close to pinning Michaels. He was so close that they nearly rang the bell.  The match was fast paced with lots of action packed exchanges. Chip won the match by rolling Michaels up.  The referee pushed Michaels down presumably in retaliation for earlier problems, and Michaels claimed that he'd never come to the town again because of the disrespect from the referee.

The Smothers Sisters heeled it up during intermission telling the crowd they needed to buy their shirts and their pictures because it was unlikely anyone would see Pandora again.

Match 4: Murder One and AJ Steele vs. Terry Lawler and Billy Knight.
Winners: Murder One and AJ Steele

The match was a no disqualification, falls count anywhere match.  It was chaos.  The action spilled all over the place. It seemed pretty short, and the focus was divided between two separate matches, one that took place near ringside and one that took place on the bleachers and in various places in the crowd.  AJ Steele pinned Terry Lawler in the ring.

Semi Main Event: Brad Lynch vs. Bull Buchanan
Winner: Bull Buchanan

The stipulation for the match was "Last Man Standing".  Bull Buchanan beat Brad Lynch with the aid of loyal So Fine Mafia representative Peanut who turned on Brad and has defected to the side of good.  Rob Adonis handed Bull the belt as he took his place as new champion.

Main Event: Smothers Twisted Daughters (Izza Belle and Jessie Belle) vs. Pain and Pleasure (Pandora and Nina Monet)

The match started violently as Izza Belle slammed the door on Nina Monet and locked her inside the cage with no partner for a good portion of the match.  Pandora tried to climb the cage to get in, but Jessie Belle kept knocking her down.  Izza Belle bit Pandora's fingers to keep her from climbing the walls as well. They told a great story as Pandora tried to get in the cage while her partner was being viciously attacked by the Smothers girls. She finally got over the cage walls and jumped onto both Smothers girls from the top rope and knocked them down.  Pandora pinned Izzabelle after powerbombing her from the rope.  It wasn't over after the pin.  AJ Steele and Murder One came out and attacked Pandora and Nina Monet.  They put Pandora through a table.  Then they punched referee Stan Robinson.  Jessie Belle and Izza Belle stole the LOUIS tag team titles and left the cage. The crowd went crazy after their vicious attack on Pandora and Nina.

Universal Independent Wrestling is teaming up with Peachstate Wrestling Alliance on April 5th in Villa Rica to do a benefit show for Referee Terry Hudgins to help replace items he lost in a recent house fire.

NWA Atlanta--March 22, 2014--Locust Grove, GA

110 people showed up in Locust Grove for Saturday Night Wrestling.  NWA Atlanta's general manager came out and did a recap of the previous show before the show started. While this showed a commitment to telling a long term story, it would have been better if the recaps had been given by the individual wrestlers during their promos and smack talk sessions in their individual matches.

Match 1: Zac Edwards vs. Rey del Sol
Winner: Zac Edwards

Zac Edwards did a pretty good job of trying to rile up the crowd, and he put on one of the best matches I've seen him put on in months. He showed a more aggressive side, and I think this suits him better than when he's just trying to be funny. He pinned Rey del Sol with a snapmare driver.

Match 2: Adorable Anthony Andrews vs. Fry Daddy
Winner: Adorable Anthony Andrews

The crowd really woke up for this contest, and it is safe to say that Fry Daddy is the most over wrestler at NWA Atlanta.  Fry Daddy got Anthony early with two headscissors take downs.  He followed up with an arm drag and then another.  Anthony threatened to go home, and the crowd yelled "Just go".  Fry Daddy was going to dive onto both BFF's outside the ring, but they moved.  Anthony tossed Fry Daddy back into the ring.  Anthony hit Fry Daddy with a backbreaker. Anthony had Fry Daddy in a bodyscissors, but Fry Daddy maneuvered into a pin attempt.  Anthony picked up Fry Daddy to finish him, but Fry Daddy countered with a headscissors take down. He followed up with an elbow drop, but only managed to get the two count.  Michael Stevens tried to interfere, and the action spilled out of the ring.  The referee started counting.  Anthony pushed Fry Daddy back towards the entrance, and jumped back into the ring.  He distracted the referee, so Michael Stevens could hit Fry Daddy and knock him out.  Fry Daddy was counted out.

The original NWA Atlanta Max Champion Cru Jones came out to talk about a possible return to NWA Atlanta, and he also wanted to talk about the youth wrestling program he's been working for.  Compound Wrestling Center in McDonough is accepting girls into their program starting April 8th, and girls will be able to train for free.  He went onto to talk about how women's collegiate wrestling was the fastest growing athletic field and the number of women's wrestling scholarships were unclaimed.  He also put his name in the hat to be a possible fifth member of the Wargames team.

Tyson Dean and Kurt Kilgore interrupted this part of his spiel.  Kurt Kilgore said "If he's not signed as a wrestler then why is he here?" and "It's not the best idea if you're not medically cleared to be in a cage match."  They accused him of hiding behind children.  Jones challenged that one of his wrestling students from the audience could pin Kilgore.  Kilgore in his usual sarcasm said "Will one of Cru Jones Make a Wish Foundation kids raise their hands?"  Then he chose a girl from the audience.  She pinned Kilgore pretty quickly, and Tyson had to pull him out of the ring.  It was pretty funny.  Cru Jones said "You just got beat by a 10 year old girl".  The audience laughed and had a lot of fun with that.

Match 3: Colt Callaway vs. Matt Sells (w/Johnny Danger)
Winner: Matt Sells

This audience is never quite sure how to take Matt Sells and his "hetero life mate" Johnny Danger. It's obvious they hate Matt, but they seemed stunned by the pair as they came out to "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness and proclaiming their status as "hair metal heartthrobs".  Colt Callaway is a blond blue eyed babyface that hearkens back to another era of pretty boy hero.  Matt's persona as arrogant party boy has really grown over time.  This match was an exercise in comedy that amused the audience with sheer silliness. Matt went a little over the top, but Johnny Danger did his part. He played ringside nuisance well. While the referee was distracted, he hit Colt Callaway in the face.  Throughout the match, Callaway sold well, and he's excellent at playing the "face in peril".  Sells put Callaway in an abdominal stretch at one point and played guitar on his abs.  Matt pinned Callaway after a DDT.

Match 4: Michael Stevens vs. Pain
Winner: Pain

Michael Stevens taunted Pain saying that "his team wasn't looking so good."  Pain answered Stevens with his fists.  Pain threw Michael into the rail. During the match, Michael Stevens would go over to his ringside companion Adorable Anthony and he would kiss him. The Black Widow, Pain's valet, would tell the referee to get them to break up their kissing which made the audience laugh.  Widow's grown into her ringside role this evening. She's on the side cheering her guys along, and she's making sure things are right when it comes to making sure the other side's representatives aren't cheating.  Pain won the match with a sit-out powerbomb, and Widow entered the ring to raise the hand of her champion.

Drew Adler came out and gave his piece about Matt "Sex" Sells.  "Locust Grove, I'm usually wrestling, but tonight I have business with the "Mattlanta" Champion.  Last time he rolled me up with a handful of tights. I say Matt, me and you April 26th for the NWA Atlanta Max Championship."  Johnny Danger came to answer Drew. "Oh great, I ask for Bowser, and I get the princess." Johnny Danger responded " I am no princess.  I'm your Saturday night delight.  I'm the terror that flaps in the night.  I go where Kenny Loggins fears to tread. I am Johnny Danger."  They fought, and Drew Adler put Johnny Danger across his knee and spanked him. Matt Sells came out to the rescue of his "hetero life mate" and granted Drew his match as long as he let Johnny Danger go.  Drew kicked Matt and took the belt. He stood on the rope and held it up, and NWA Atlanta cheered at the thought of Drew being the Max Champion at War Games.

Main Event: Bill T. Butcher vs. Tyson Dean for the GA Heavyweight Championship

This was a good match overall and the crowd was clearly behind Bill.  The exchanges between Kurt Kilgore and The Black Widow were very amusing as Kurt made sure security was between them at all times.  The match felt a little short. Tyson Dean won by hitting Bill with his chain while the referee's back was turned. Then a massive beat down ensued as the men from both War Games teams came out of the back.  The entire scene stopped as the fifth member of the face team was revealed.  Andy Anderson returned to NWA Atlanta to be the fifth member of the War Games team, so both teams are now set.

Two matches are now set for April 26th's War Games Event in Stockbridge, GA, and there is one more show between now and then in Locust Grove, April 12th.

Platinum Championship Wrestling 2nd Anniversary Show--March 15, 2014--Porterdale,GA

120 rabid fans came out for Platinum Championship Wrestling's St. Patrick's Day show celebrating their 2nd anniversary at the Main Event in Porterdale, GA.  The show was action packed from top to bottom. There wasn't a bad match on the card.

Match 1: "Hit for Hire" Bobby Moore vs. "Go Time" Erik Jones.
Winner: "Hit for Hire" Bobby Moore

Bobby Moore took the mic when he entered and blamed Miss Rachel for his PCW losing streak. He told the audience that if Rachel were present he'd slap her.

Bobby Moore laid into Erik Jones with kicks and punches.  Jones answered with blows of his own.  Moore attacked Jones outside the ring then tosses him back in.  He went for a pin, but Jones kicked out.  Moore showed more emotion and intensity in this match than I'd seen from him in previous outings.  Jones matched that intensity with fire of his own which made this a good opening contest. Jones went up for a splash, but he missed allowing Moore to capitalize.  Moore pinned Jones after a knockout elbow.

Match 2: Sugar Shane vs. Velvet Jones
Winner: Velvet Jones.

My 6 year old son, Ian, made the mistake of waving his handheld video game in the face of Quasi Mandisco, who snatched it from him. Quasi wandered around the ring with it making fun of the quality of the system, generating himself some serious heat in the process.  He called Ian up to the side of the ring to get his game back, but he would repeatedly snatch it away when Ian reached for it. Ian finally got it back and told me to put it in my purse.

Quasi made fun of the fact that MAIM took Supernatural out of action, and he said "Johnny Danger Time is no more, and so is Johnny Danger." Sugar Shane insulted the audience.  "Ya'll are the most low class inbred pieces of white trash I ever saw." Velvet Jones came out and told Shane that when he insulted the audience, he insulted him.  They set the stipulation that whoever lost the match had to leave PCW for 30 days.

Sugar Shane and Velvet Jones locked up.  Shane went up top, and Velvet dropped him.  Shane punched Velvet a couple times. Velvet clotheslined Shane right out of the ring.  Shane went to Quasi for support, and Velvet knocked both of them down.  Velvet suplexed Shane, but only managed to get a 2 count.  Shane threw Velvet into the middle turnbuckle, then punched him and threw him into a corner.  Shane chopped Velvet in the chest.  Velvet reversed Shane into the corner, pulled his shirt over his face, and gave him chops of his own.  He then whipped him into the opposite corner and chopped him again.  Sugar Shane attempted a sleeper hold, but Velvet got out quickly.  Velvet attempted a sleeper of his own.  Velvet tired to roll up Shane for a pin, but Shane kicked out.  Shane slammed Velvet and attempted a pin, but Velvet kicked out. Velvet delivered a big slam to Shane, but Shane kicked out.  Shane followed that with a big elbow.  Quasi tried to introduce a chair into the match, and the Platinum Crusader's music played. He swooped out from under the ring and beat up Quasi outside the ring.  Velvet scoop slammed Shane and pinned him. Shane now has to leave PCW for thirty days.

Match 3: Brian Blaze vs. "Dynomite Soul" Eric Walker

Brian Blaze told Velvet Jones to stay in the ring.  He said he was having deja vu because six months ago Big F'n Deal had shown in the ring who they are. "Geter has held every heavyweight title in the state of GA, and I will be the first triple crown champion. We don't care if you want to try and make a name for yourself here, but this is our ring, and we have unfinished business."

Dynomite Soul came out to face Brian Blaze, and Velvet Jones remained in his corner.  The action spilled outside the ring quickly and turned into an all out brawl.  Velvet Jones and Geter who were both at ringside got involved and it escalated.  Shane Mackey and the referee got control of the chaos long enough to turn the match into a tag team contest.

Match 4: Big F'n Deal (Geter and Brian Blaze) vs. Velvet Jones and Dynomite Soul
Winners: Big F'n Deal

There was so much fury from Big F'n Deal at the start of this match.  Geter tagged in and butt bumped Dynomite Soul in the corner.  He attempted a pin, but Dynomite kicked out.  Dynomite was isolated for a long time. Blaze hit him with a snapmare, then followed with a clothesline.  Geter tagged in and kneed Dynomite Soul in the chest.  He attempted a pin, but it was only a 2 count.  Dynomite Soul punched Geter, and Geter knocked him down like he was nothing.  Blaze tagged in and took Dymomite Soul down, but only managed a 2 count.  Geter landed a huge elbow to Dynomite Soul.  Dynomite maintained steam despite being isolated for so long.  He kicked Geter repeatedly.  Velvet tagged in and drop kicked Blaze then punched him in the corner.  Dynomite Soul tagged back in and Geter clotheslined both Velvet and Dynomite Soul. He then tossed Velvet Jones out of the ring.  Geter held Dynomite Soul while Blaze did an elbow off the rope.  Blaze pinned Dynomite Soul for the win.  A fan tried to hand Geter a happy meal to congratulate him for his win.

Match 5: De La Vega vs. Marko Polo
Winner De La Vega

Marko was decked out in his St. Patrick's Day finest. He wore a mini leprechaun hat, a green fake mustache, and a green shirt that said "Love" on it.  Marko kicked Vega down and went for an early pin, but only managed a 2 count.  He grabbed him off the top rope in the corner, ran into the other corner and rammed him into the turnbuckle.  Vega did an STO followed by an elbow. He attempted a pin, but Marko kicked out.  Polo did an armbar, then hit Vega with a back elbow.  They hit each other and they were both down for a moment.  Marko did a clothesline, back elbow, then followed with another clothesline. He then hit Vega with a forearm to the midsection.  Polo hit Vega with a leg drop, went for the pin, but Vega kicked out.  Vega did a crossbody. Polo threw Vega into the corner, and did a neckbreaker. Vega kicked out of the pin attempt.  Polo tried to come up under Vega's legs to roll him up, but Vega got his shoulders down and pinned him instead. Marko extended his hand as a sign of respect, Vega kind of slapped it, but didn't actually shake it.


Main Event: Adrian Armour, Sylar Cross and Chip Day vs. The Washington Bullets and Shane Marx.

Jeff G. Bailey started by addressing Shane Marx.  "One of our brothers is on the other team.  Come down, face me one on one.  We won't beat you up."  Shane Marx came down to speak to Jeff G. Bailey. Jeff G. Bailey continued "I know you were just trying to protect Rachel.  There's room for you here alongside Adrian Armour, Sylar Cross, and Chip Day. We all care about you. You're Empire just like us." Shane answered, "There are two cardinal sins you never commit.  You put your hands on Rachel. She is my friend. You pissed me off." (Honestly, it made me chuckle that the audience cheered so loudly about putting hands on Rachel being a cardinal sin. Two months ago she rivaled Quasi for most hated person in the city.)

 Adrian Armour, Sylar Cross and Chip Day then beat down Shane Marx.  The Washington Bullets came out to Marx's aid and the referee has to gain control before he can officially start the match.  The heels played coward once the numbers were even.  Chaos ensued again and all three faces were in the ring with the heels continuing to cower outside. Chip Day was in with Jon Williams of the Bullets and they grappled for a bit.  Jon tagged in Trey and they double teamed Chip.  Shane then tags in. Chip Day ran out of the ring and all the way out of the building.  Shane tried to run after him. Chip sneaked back in through the back entrance.  Sylar Cross tried to put Shane Marx in a sleeper, but Shane easily got to his feet.  Chip tagged in and kicked Shane in the chest.  Armour tagged in and landed a knee to Shane's face.  He kicked Shane in the head when he was down. Sylar was taken down by an enziguiri from Shane Marx.  This match was chaotic with quick tags and quick exchanges between the participants.  The heels attacked Trey Williams while the referee argued with Jon Williams.  Chip gave Trey an ax kick while Sylar held him down.  Sylar tried to pin him, but Trey kicked out.  Trey was isolated for a long time, and he took down Sylar with what felt like his last bit of energy.  Both men were down for a moment. Sylar tagged in Chip and Trey tagged in Shane.  Shane barreled through Chip with kicks and punches.  Shane hit Chip with the Natural Selection, but Chip got his foot on the rope to break the count.  The bullets double drop kicked Sylar. Adrian Armour missed a kick. The Bullets double teamed Adrian Armour and Trey Williams got the pin.  Shane Mackey set a title match between Trey Williams and Chip Day for April 5th when PCW returns to Porterdale.

NWA Atlanta--March 8, 2014--Locust Grove,GA

NWA Atlanta delivered a passable show last night in Locust Grove.  The fans seemed ready to see some wrestling, however, the crowd seemed down from past shows I've attended. There were 130 there, but at previous shows counts were closer to 175.  The new stable Tradition, a combination of GA Heavyweight Champion Tyson Dean and Tag Team Champions, The BFF's dominated the night in what might prove to be a new direction for the storylines in the company.  If NWA Atlanta has a weakness it is a lack of long term story building. Each card will have an interesting match, but it doesn't always build on what happened at the previous show. This show seemed like the beginning of a longer term story, and that would do a lot to improve the overall quality of the shows as a whole.

Match 1: Stupid vs. Frankie Valentine
Winner: Frankie Valentine

Frankie Valentine started off strong with an armbreaker, and he followed that by dropping Stupid on his back.  Stupid did a neckbreaker on Frankie, and he tried to dance like Frankie, much to the horror of the audience.  Stupid put Frankie in a sleeper. He tossed Frankie out of the ring next to Tweety. An older gentleman in the audience tried to smack Tweety's hand with a cane as she interfered in the match.  Frankie did a backflip off the top rope and unsuccessfully tried to pin Stupid.  Stupid tied Frankie up in a submission, but Frankie reversed it.  Frankie suplexed Stupid.  Stupid put Frankie in a half crab, but Frankie made it to the rope.  Stupid bodyslammed Frankie, but Frankie kicked out at two.  Frankie did a headscissors takedown to Stupid and tried to follow it with another move from the top rope, but was unsuccessful. Stupid superplexed Frankie, and was again unsuccessful with the pin.  Stupid slammed Frankie again, but Frankie kicked out.  Frankie Valentine pinned Stupid and won the match.

NWA Atlanta's newest faction, Tradition, came out to set their own rules for the main event where the BFF's would take on Pain and Bill T. Butcher for the NWA Atlanta Tag Team Championships. Kurt Kilgore started "All of you will feel a little bit funny and you won't know why. Mostly because you won't know the difference because you're used to being hung over. The hour's going to change tomorrow, but we'll still have the Tag Team Champion belts. That won't change. Ya'll still want a title match. We need a stipulation. Pain and Bill T. Butcher are brawlers rather than wrestlers. No brawling, No kicking, none of that nonsense. We want a "wrestling" match." The crowd drowned out most of the rest of Kilgore's speech with their incessant boos.  Tyson Dean stated that they were looking for a team to take on Tradition on April 26th at Wargames.

Match 2: The Russian Assassin vs. Drew Adler
Winner: Drew Adler

Drew began with knees to the back of the Russian Assassin. He chopped him in the chest. He never lost momentum. He kneed him in the face in the corner. It was a squash. Drew Adler annihilated The Russian Assassin.

Match 3: Colt Callaway vs. Tyson Dean
Winner: Tyson Dean

Relative newcomer Callaway made a decent showing against GA Heavyweight Champion, Tyson Dean. Dean pulled Callaway's hair at one point during the match showing he's willing to play dirty to win.   Callaway tapped to Dean's submission finisher, a hammer lock with a bridge hold.

Match 4: Zac Edwards vs. Fry Daddy
Winner: Zac Edwards

The crowd yelled "Please don't talk." at Zac Edwards as he picked up a microphone.  He did his own ring announcement.  Fry Daddy threw Edwards' vest into the crowd, and a lady on the front row sat on it before tossing it back.  Fry Daddy put it on and mocked Zac prancing around the ring. Zac walked to the back and acted like he was going to leave, but he came back and finished his match.  The match ended when Edwards rolled Fry Daddy up. The referee didn't see that he was holding Fry Daddy's tights. This would have been an ok "heel cheats, audience gets mad" moment except that the announcer had to explain that Zac Edwards was still our winner because the referee didn't see him grab the tights.

Main Event: Pain and Bill T. Butcher vs. The BFF's
Winner: The BFF's

Bill T. Butcher and Pain can perform a good wrestling match that doesn't rely on their size or monster "brawler" gimmicks. It was a real change of pace for them, but it was something I was impressed by.  Their ringside companion, The Black Widow, has really come a long way in my opinion in the six months I've been aggressively following this company. She looked great last night and she looked comfortable in her role as ringside companion as she banged on the ring shouting instructions to her wrestlers.  The match ended in a disqualification because Pain threw a closed hand punch in what was supposed to be "a traditional wrestling match". The BFF's retained the Tag Team Titles.  After the match ended a brawl ensued. The Black Widow chased Kurt Kilgore around the ring and took him out.  The BFF's started beating up Bill T. Butcher and Pain. Marko and Fry Daddy came out for the save. Zac Edwards came out and hit Pain in the gut with a baseball bat. Then he hit Marko and only the heels were standing in the ring with all the faces laid out around them.  The heels left the ring, and Marko got up and said "This ends now" Marko Polo, Fry Daddy, Bill T. Butcher, and Pain are going to team up for Wargames on April 26th. They plan to announce their 5th partner at the show on March 22nd when NWA Atlanta will be back in Locust Grove GA.

Platinum Championship Wrestling---March 1, 2014---Porterdale, GA

There were 85 fans in attendance in the Main Event Wrestling Arena in Porterdale, GA, and all were ready for a good time.  ROH talent Cedric Alexander made his PCW debut adding his star power to an already well balanced card.  I'd also like to give a huge thank you to Tim Savage for improving the venue with the new carpeting and lighting scheme. The place looks amazing inside, and it feels like you're watching wrestling in a large arena even though the area is small.

Match 1: Sugar Shane (w/Quasi Mandisco) vs. Go Time Eric Jones

Quasi Mandisco was brilliant as usual. His interaction with the audience interested me more than most of what happened in the ring.  Quasi went to get Eric Jones outside the ring while the referee was distracted, but he made the mistake of trying to interfere next to Ms. Lucy. Ms. Lucy smacked Quasi with her scarf. Security told Quasi he had to back off.  Jones missed a big move off the top rope and Sugar Shane won the match with a DDT.  Shane continued his assault of Jones after the bell rang.

Chuck Porterfield told us the story of how he tried to be a professional wrestler named Devin Desire, but he was told by doctors he was no longer able to wrestle. Stephen Platinum gave him the opportunity to be a commentator and a referee, and he was honored to be the referee at Stephen Platinum's last match, however he no longer felt he could be an unbiased referee. He put on his orange beret and took back his position on commentary as "The Voice of Reason, Chuck Porterfield."

Match 2: "The Hammer of the Gods" Sylar Cross(w/Adrian Armour) vs. Trey Williams (w/Jon Williams)

This match took a few minutes to really get started as both competitors sized each other up. Each time Trey gained momentum in the first half of the match, Cross would cower outside the ring.  Trey flew outside the ring and toppled both Cross and his ringside companion, Adrian Armour.  Trey spent too much time messing with Adrian Armour outside the ring and Cross gained control of the match.  Cross won the match by slamming Trey and then he threw Trey out of the ring like trash.

Match 3: Adrian Armour (w/Sylar Cross) vs. Cedric Alexander

Wrestlers from Ring of Honor wrestling typically observe a "code of honor" where they shake hands before their match. Adrian Armour barely slapped Alexander's outstretched hand, so code of honor was technically observed.  This was a vicious, high energy contest. Alexander brought out the best in Armour.   Armour tried to take the coward's way out saying "I don't need this" As he headed back upstairs, The Platinum Crusader pushed him back into the ring.  Cedric Alexander won the match.
 
Match 4: Big F'N Deal (Geter and Brian Blaze) vs. Velvet Jones and Shane Marx

Velvet Jones was isolated for most of the match.  Shane finally got in, and he laid waste to Brian Blaze.  He speared Blaze, but he was unable to pin him.  Velvet Jones took care of Geter outside.  Blaze paid too much attention to what was happening outside the ring.  Shane Marx got Brian Blaze with the Natural Selection and won the match.  Miss Rachel brought the microphone to Shane Marx and he said "The King is back."

Main Event Wrestling Arena owner Tim Savage announced that he will partner with area businesses to start a charity in connection with the City of Porterdale to help needy families.  The target is to raise $400 a month to help local families with groceries.

Match 5: Najasism vs. De La Vega

Najasism gave a small speech in the ring. "Wow! Thank you for the warm welcome.  It's been a year and a half since I've been in a PCW ring. It's like I've come back home. I needed to challenge one of my best opponents. De La Vega, let's do this."

This match had a lot of great moments in it.  Najasism put De La Vega in a surfboard stretch.  Najasism did a suicide dive onto Vega outside the ring.  I've truly missed watching these two in the ring together.  De La Vega did a neckbreaker, but Najasism kicked out at two.  Vega followed that with a hurricanrana takedown, but only managed a two count again.  Najasism did a sit-down powerbomb off the rope, both men were down, and Najasism got up first. He managed to pin Vega again for two.  Vega speared Najasism, but Najasism got his foot to the bottom rope.  They exchanged blows for a minute or two, and De La Vega got a two count after delivering a swinging neckbreaker to Najasism.  Najasism landed a frog splash, but De La Vega kicked out.  Najasism attempted the 450 splash but De La Vega moved out of the way.  De La Vega pinned Najasism after hitting him with a sliced bread.  Both wrestlers made a great showing in this dynamic contest.  Najasism extended his hand after the match, and De La Vega fist bumped him.

Main Event
Jon Williams vs. PCW Champion Chip Day(w/Jeff G. Bailey) for the PCW Title.

This was a very dramatic contest. Both competitors did their best to invest the audience in the action. Jon Williams just wouldn't go down despite Chip's best efforts.  Chip knocked the referee out, and Jon did a huge move from the top rope. He pinned Chip for an 11 count, but there was no referee to make the count. The referee called for the bell, and Chip was disqualified.  He retained the title.  Sylar Cross came out and beat up both Jon and Trey Williams. Adrian Armour aided Sylar Cross in beating up the Bullets.  Shane Marx came out to help the Bullets, and he went for Chip Day.  He threw Sylar and Adrian Armour out of the ring.  At the next PCW show on March 15th Chip Day, Sylar Cross, and Adrian Armour will face Shane Marx and the Washington Bullets in a 6 man tag team match.

March 15th is also PCW's 2 year anniversary in Porterdale, GA. Tickets will be $5 for this anniversary event.
