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.
