NWA Atlanta--May 24, 2014--Locust Grove, GA

Match 1: Joey Kidman and The Russian Assassin vs. Bill the Butcher and Pain
Winners: Bill the Butcher and Pain

Prince Akbar came out with Kidman and The Russian Assassin and said that if the referee didn't hold Pain and Bill back then his team would leave and there would be no match.  Joey Kidman's slimmed down some, and his "psycho" heel gimmick got a fair amount of heat from the Locust Grove crowd.

Joey Kidman locked up with Bill the Butcher. Joey clotheslined Bill, but The Russian Assassin tagged himself in before Joey could capitalize.  Butcher and Pain double teamed The Russian Assassin and manhandled him. Kidman abandoned his partner in frustration because he wasn't given another chance to tag in.  Pain knocked The Russian Assassin down with just a thumb, pinned him, and left him for dead.

Tradition came out and Zac Edwards announced them.  "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, white trash of all ages," he crowed to the audience.  "We're not just the best here at NWA Atlanta. We're the best in the state of GA. Tradition is about the greatest champions. We are the 4 best in the state, and later tonight Fry Daddy and Marko are going to know that.  If you hillbilly rednecks don't show these men some respect when they come out later tonight I'm gonna bust some skulls."

Match 2: Trevor Aeon vs. The Curry Kidd
Winner: The Curry Kidd

Aeon was accused of trying to pull the "hair" on Curry Kidd's mask.  Curry Kidd pulled out a comb and attempted to comb Aeon's hair. Aeon did armbar on Curry Kidd and managed to get his shoulders down, but Curry Kidd kicked out at two.  Curry Kidd danced while Aeon walked around the ring.  Aeon made a large offense, but Curry Kidd kicked out at two. Curry Kidd failed at a sunset flip attempt, and he continued to make several pin attempts.  He did a scissor kick for a two count.  Then he did a "curricanrana" into a submission and Aeon tapped.

Match 3: DJ Clarke and Kyle O'Grady vs. Andy Anderson and Tyson Dean
Winners: Andy Anderson and Tyson Dean

When I realized DJ Clarke and Kyle O'Grady were taking on Andy Anderson and Tyson Dean, I took one look at them and referred to them as "sacrificial lamb 1" and "sacrificial lamb 2", and that's pretty much how the match went. Dean manhandled O'Grady, then handed him off to Anderson who picked up where Dean left off. Anderson knocked Clarke off the apron, and while the referee admonished Anderson, Dean interfered. Dean and Anderson further humiliated the opponents by not making their sacrifice quick and painless. They yelled "Come on fight back" to their prone opponents. Anderson ended it by doing pushups as he pinned one of them.

Match 4: Delicious Don vs. Colt Callaway
Winner: Colt Callaway

I realize that Colt Callaway is attempting to appear high energy and eager when he enters the ring, but all the kicking and punching the air makes him look like he's swatting away a hundred angry hornets. The match was mediocre. I've seen better from Callaway . Callaway won with a new finisher.

Match 5: Prince Akbar vs. Drew Adler for the NWA Atlanta Heavyweight Championship
Winner: Drew Adler

Akbar had a couple of weapons hidden in his knee and elbow pads which led to the referee having to check him multiple times.  Drew attempted to jump over Akbar's head. Drew tried to grab Akbar between his legs and flip him, but it didn't work. Drew slapped him. Drew put him in a headlock and grabbed his nose. Akbar left the ring. He's played the coward for a long time, and it's getting old to me.  The crowd does seem to hate him. Drew pinned Akbar after a bicycle kick.

Matt Sells came to the ring.  "How did you like seeing Drew Adler defend my Mattlanta championship. I delivered the most memorable wrestling performance you peons have ever seen. That championship would be with me if not for the actions of one man. That man is not Drew Adler. It's my former best friend, Johnny Danger. You powerbombed me from 10 feet.  I'm demanding an apology.  You took my NWA Mattlanta championship, and you're not fit to lick my boots."

Johnny Danger responded. "You want me to apologize. For over 20 years now it's been about what you want. When I suffered a concussion, I came back to wrestling because you needed me. When I dislocated my knee, I came back because you needed me. When I said I needed you, you handed me a pair of green shorts and expected me to be your cheerleader. The name Johnny Danger used to mean something in Georgia wrestling.  You told me I'd go places with you. Now you're moving onto bigger and better things. I hope it's my foot that kicks your ass out the door. NWA let us fight."

Match 6: Johnny Danger vs. Matt "Sex" Sells
Winner: Johnny Danger

Sells attacked Danger before the match started then the referee rang the bell.  Danger threw Sells into the barricade. Danger did a bulldog to Sells for a two count.  Sells did a neckbreaker then punched Danger in the face. He then kneed Danger in the face.  Sells did a cutter to Danger.  He followed that with his taunt move where he does pelvic swirls while his opponent's head is between his legs. He played drums on his head then turned him over and smashed his face into the mat.  Danger speared Sells for a two count. Sells did an abdominal stretch and played guitar on Danger's abs. He grabbed the ropes to gain leverage during this move.  Sells slammed Danger for a two count. Danger kicked Sells as Sells jumped off the turnbuckle. Danger chopped Sells in the chest, then dangerkicked him for a two count.  Sells did a stunner but only managed a two count. He wrapped around him and tried for a roll-up, but to no avail.  He did a snapmare then did his pelvic swirl, pounded their face into the mat move he's famous for.  Finally Johnny Danger won the match.  It looked like they were going to put aside their differences with a handshake and a hug, but they kicked each other in the balls. This was the most entertaining segment of the show. I will miss Matt Sells and his sense of theatrics. My sincere hope is that NWA Atlanta recognizes that Johnny Danger would be a valued asset as a fan favorite and that his tenure doesn't end because Sells is moving to another city.

Main Event: Fry Daddy and Marko Polo vs. The Bald Beautiful Besties.
Winners: The Bald, Beautiful Besties.

I have few words for the delicious horror that is the Bald Beautiful Besties theme song. It fits them perfectly, and it is mockable beyond belief.  Polo began the match against Michael Stevens. Marko spanked Stevens. He tagged in Fry Daddy and Fry Daddy did a takedown then a kick.  Polo tagged back in and he was isolated for a good portion of the match. When Fry Daddy finally got in, he did big elbows. He attempted a roll up, then did another elbow.  Marko bashed both of the Bald Besties heads together, and Fry Daddy toppled them with a suicide dive. Zac Edwards rolled up Fry Daddy for the win, but he had a handful of tights. The Besties retained.



NWA Atlanta is scheduled for another show on June 7th.

Platinum Championship Wrestling--May 17, 2014--Porterdale,GA

60 fans graced The Main Event in Porterdale, GA.  Action is starting to heat up as Platinum Championship Wrestling approaches July 4th and the annual "Revolutionary Wargames".  

Match 1: Warhorse 54 and Warhorse 4th Period vs. Geter

Winner: Geter

Geter made quick work of the two warhorses, and the entire crowd was behind him the whole time. He quickly pinned one of them with a sit-out piledriver.  

Geter took the mic and said to the crowd, "Shut your mouth and listen.  Everyone wants to know what happened to Brian Blaze. Brian Blaze is in the hospital with a bad back and a neck brace." Sylar Cross and Adrian Armour came out to gloat about how they would steal Geter's spot in the Tag Team Season because Geter no longer had a partner.  Geter challenged Armour and Cross to a match on the spot, which pleased the Porterdale crowd, but Armour and Cross cowered away.  Geter followed them upstairs angrily.  

Match 2: Deandre Jackson (w/Quasi Mandisco) vs. Morgan Davis III

Winner: Deandre Jackson

Davis began with some kicks, but Jackson came back in defense.  Mandisco interfered by choking Davis with his scarf while the referee's back was turned.  Davis was over with the crowd by the simple virtue of taking on Mandisco's man Jackson.  Jackson slammed Davis, then bowled him over. Davis sold Jackson's attacks reasonably well with his facial expressions.  Davis came back with a flurry of kicks, but Jackson took him back town. Davis evaded Jackson's clothesline and followed it with a kick.  Jackson took advantage of Davis arguing with the referee and Mandisco. He powerbombed Davis then finished with an elbow from the second rope for the win.  

This was Morgan Davis's first match with Platinum Championship Wrestling in over a year. During his last run with PCW, he was the guy that everyone kind of forgot. Hopefully this time his skills are improved and he'll make more of an impact. 

Match 3:

"Go Time" Erik Jones vs. "The Revelation" Shane Marx (w/Miss Rachel)

Winner: "The Revelation" Shane Marx

The match began with a lot of grappling. Marx put Jones in an ankle lock. Jones escaped, and he did a nice dropkick.  He tried to suplex Marx but Marx countered.  Marx missed a move and Jones kicked him. Jones covered Marx, but Marx kicked out. Marx did a back breaker, and he manhandled Jones. Marx tried desperately to get Jones to tap to his submission hold.  Jones attempted to get Marx with a sunset flip, but it failed.  

Marx punched Jones in the back, and Jones stayed down.  Marx scoop slammed Jones, then he went to the second rope but Jones rolled out of the way.  Jones did 2 enzigiris, a kick, and a headscissors take down. Marx did a spinebuster, but only got a two count.  Marx caught Jones, powerbombed him, then put him in a Boston Crab. Jones tapped. 

The voice of Casey Kincaid came over the sound system talking to Shane Marx about his turn on PCW to join the Empire in 2011.  "There's a lot of bad blood. I was there. Now you're a hero again. You're no hero. You have sins. You will face me. You're going to deal with me. See you around." 

Rachel reassured Shane, "He's not right. Things are different now." Shane replied, "You stay here. I need to deal with this." This small interaction was very well done, and it cemented the friendship between Rachel and her client Marx. 

Rachel took the microphone and said "I've got something to deal with too. Jeff G. Bailey, get your boochi shoes in the ring." Bailey responded "You've got a lot of nerve."  Rachel said, "Cut his tacky music. It's already May, soon it will be June, then our 4th of July show, the Revolutionary Wargames. No one is set up for that spot. You come up with a team. I'll come up with a team. We'll duke it out."  Jeff responded, "When I took Stephen Platinum out of wrestling, I became the kingpin here. You can't tell me who will be in revolutionary wargames. "Do or Die" Chip Day will come out here, and if her guy can beat Chip, she'll get her match." 

Match 4: Supernatural vs. Chip Day

Winner: Supernatural

Supernatural wasted no time, and the match spilled outside the ring almost immediately.  Supernatural bounced Day's head off a barricade before tossing him in the ring. Day cleared a whole bench of fans to throw Supernatural into the wall then do a kick from the bench.  Day chopped Supernatural in the corner, then repeated in the opposite corner.  The action spilled outside the ring again. Supernatural did a back stabber, covered Day, but Day kicked out at two.  Day regained control, climbed to the top rope, and stomped Supernatural's back. It looked like he'd broken Supernatural in half.  Supernatural kicked Chip. He tried to submit Chip using his full body in an octopus hold. Chip escaped, then kicked him.  Chip decided to grab the belt and hit him earning Supernatural the win by disqualification.  

Jeff G. Bailey explained that it was beneficial for his team to fight Rachel's team.  He cautioned Rachel, " I hope you have someone better than that because he was no competition for "Do or Die" Chip Day. You want war, you'll get it." 

Match 5: The Young Bloodz vs. The Washington Bullets. 

Winner: The Washington Bullets. 

This match was really good. The Young Bloodz have a good team dynamic, and the Bullets are experienced enough to make any opponent look good.  The Bullets won the match, and it was a great outing for both teams.  It was very entertaining.  Both teams shook hands after to show their mutual respect.  

Main Event: Sugar Shane and Pump Yo Brakes vs. Marko Polo and The Platinum Crusader. 

Winners: Sugar Shane and Pump Yo Brakes. 

Polo and Pump Yo Brakes began the match. Polo did an arm drag, and Pump Yo Brakes quickly exited the ring before Polo gained any momentum.  Polo scoop slammed Shane three times.  Polo was isolated for most of the match. The crusader kept trying to get in to aid his partner, but the referee kept blocking him.  The entire time the referee argued with the Crusader Shane choked Polo.  The Crusader finally made it into the ring, but as he began cleaning house, Quasi Mandisco pushed him. The referee didn't see, and Shane won the match because of Quasi's interference.  

Quasi and his hired thugs, MAIM, tied up Polo with a scarf, then proceeded to unmask The Platinum Crusader. It wasn't the real Platinum Crusader, it was Devlin Valek, returning to PCW.  The real Crusader came out with a hammer. Erik Jones came out and picked up a chair, and Valek picked up a chair. They all went after MAIM.  

PCW returns to Porterdale, GA on June 7th. 

Platinum Championship Wrestling--May 3, 2014--Porterdale, GA

62 fans graced the Main Event in Porterdale, but they were loud enough it felt like over a hundred.  What Porterdale's venue lacks in size, it makes up in the enthusiasm of its fans.

Match 1: "Dynomite Soul" Eric Walker vs. "Do or Die" Chip Day (w/ Jeff G. Bailey)
Winner: "Do or Die" Chip Day

This match had an interesting stipulation because if Walker won the match he earned the right to challenge Chip Day for the PCW title, however, if he lost it signaled the end of his PCW career.  Walker began the match with a wicked knee, and the match spilled outside quickly.  Walker slammed Chip's face into the barricade. Day rolled Walker back into the ring. Walker hit Day with a knee and followed with a backbreaker for a 2 count.  Walker boxed Chip's ears while he had him down.

 Day punched Walker in the coruner, did a snapmare, then stomped Walker in the face.  Day unsuccessfully attempted to pin Walker several times in a row.  Day did a snapmare, followed that with a kick, but missed a kneedrop.  Walker slammed Day and followed it with a knee.  Walker suplexed Day, but Day managed to kick out at 2.  Day chopped Walker in the chest, threw him into the rope, and hit him with a knee.

Walker's knee was definitely hurting him, and Day capitalized on the injury by wrapping the leg around the turnbuckle.  The two exchanged blows, and Walker was beaten down for a few minutes.  Day landed a blow to Walker's face. Walker did a dropkick, and Day was backed into the corner.  Walker did a rolling kick to Day's face and managed a 2 count.  Day repeatedly kicked Walker, but Walker gained momentum with a flying dynomite punch to Day. Walker covered Day, but Day kicked out.  Day did a tornado kick, but he only got a 2 count on Walker.

The two exchanged blows again. Day landed a big kick to Walker, and Walker answered it with a big knee. They traded slaps, then Walker did another big knee to Day.  Day kicked Walker at the top corner. Day attempted a superplex, but Walker knocked him down then flew down on him. Walker still only managed a 2 count after this awesome feat.  Walker kneed Day again, and Day went outside the ring to regain his bearings.  The referee argued with Jeff G. Bailey. Walker went for Bailey, and while the referee scolded Walker for his actions Day hit Walker with the belt. He slammed Walker and picked up the win with his treacherous ways.  Day threw Walker out of the ring like he was trash.

Bailey gave Walker some malicious parting words. "You're never going to wrestle in this ring again.  Your PCW career is over at the hands of "Do or Die" Chip Day.  There's a Burger King down the road. I'm sure they're hiring. Who's left for Chip Day to beat?" A fan asked Bailey, "Why don't you fight him?"  Bailey responded, "Why don't I come down and slap your face?"

Match 2: Sugar Shane (w/Quasi Mandisco) vs. "Go Time" Erik Jones
Winner: Sugar Shane

Quasi Mandisco riled up the audience in his usual fashion. He told one fan she smelled like menopause, and he referred to me as "dork girl."  Shane began the match by working Jones' arm.  The action spilled out of the ring. Jones slammed Shane onto the benches near the wrestlers' entrance.   Mandisco choked Jones with his scarf while the referee was distracted. He did it twice then acted like he was nowhere near the ring when the referee turned around.  Shane took advantage as he placed Jones in a headlock, but lost it again when he missed an elbow.

Shane kicked Jones in the head while he was still down. Jones answered with a kick to Shane, but both men were down.  Jones did three German suplexes to Shane.  While the referee wasn't looking, Mandisco thre a screwdriver into the ring. Shane used it to win by poking Jones in the face.

Match 3: William Huckaby (w/Joe Black) vs. Jon Williams (w/Trey Williams)
Winner: Jon Williams

The match was fast paced from the beginning with each wrestler giving as good as he got.  Williams took advantage midmatch with a good dropkick.  Huckaby left the ring for a minute to regroup, and Williams dived out of the ring onto Huckaby and knocked him down.  Williams rolled Huckaby back into the ring, covered him, but Huckaby kicked out.  Huckaby did a spinebuster to Williams, attempted a pin, but Williams kicked out.  Huckaby attempted to submit Williams, but Williams got up and elbowed him.  Joe Black interfered on Huckaby's behalf, but for his trouble he received the wrath of Trey Williams. 

Huckaby slammed Williams, but he only managed a 2 count.  Huckaby missed two punch attempts. Williams did a backbreaker then went up top. He did a flying dropkick then followed with a kick to the back of Huckaby's head.  He attempted a crossbody, but Huckaby caught him and slammed him. Williams kicked out of Huckaby's pin attempt. Williams did an off the top rope backstabber and pinned Huckaby for the win.

Match 4: Joe Black (w/William Huckaby) vs. Trey Williams (w/Jon Williams)

Williams got Black down, but Black got up. He worked Williams' arm then headbutt his hand.  Williams ran Black around the ring in an amusing manner.  Williams followed that with two armdrags and a leg drop. He then did a dropkick to Black's neck. Black left the ring to regroup. Williams tried to break Black's arm, followed that with a leg drop on the apron.  Williams did a huge suicide dive and landed on Black outside the ring.  The crowd went crazy at that daring feat.

Black stood on Williams' face. Black made pin attempt after pin attempt, but the odds weren't in his favor.  Williams landed several back elbows then a spinebuster, but still only managed the 2 count.  The referee became way too interested in trying to separate Jon Williams and William Huckaby outside the ring. Trey Williams attempted to pin Joe Black, but William Huckaby attacked the referee to break up the pin. The crowd began chanting "Cheater".  Black did a backbreaker, but only managed a 2 count.

Black and Williams exchanged blows. Williams kicked Black's face twice. William Huckaby tried to interfere to no avail. Williams won the match by stomping Black down and pinning him.

Match 5: The Platinum Crusader and Supernatural vs. Quasi Mandisco and Pump Yo Brakes

The match was originally supposed to feature Marko Polo as the Platinum Crusader's partner, however Quasi Mandisco entered to Polo's music, and we witnessed the return of Pump Yo Brakes. The Platinum Crusader was beaten down for a few moments since he did not have a partner.  Just when the audience thought the Platinum Crusader was done for, out of nowhere came Supernatural.  The fans went insane because most thought that Mandisco and his group MAIM ended Supernatural's career a few months ago.

The Platinum Crusader used Supernatural as a human weapon to knock down Pump Yo Brakes.  Supernatural and Platinum Crusader double teamed Pump Yo Brakes. Mandisco and Pump Yo Brakes tortured Supernatural outside the ring.  Supernatural remained isolated for a long time.  Pump Yo Brakes taunted the Platinum Crusader about Supernatural's inability to tag him. The referee tried to break up that argument, and in the background Mandisco choked Supernatural with his scarf.

Supernatural stomped Pump Yo Brakes' neck, and he finally tagged in the Platinum Crusader.  The Platinum Crusader took down Pump Yo Brakes with a bulldog, and Pump Yo Brakes answered with a slam.  He tagged in Mandisco who stomped the Platinum Crusasder for a few minutes. He repeatedly tried to choke the Platinum Crusader having to break the hold at the 4 count.  Mandisco tried to hit the Platinum Crusader, but the Crusader moved out of his way, and he hit Pump Yo Brakes instead. Supernatural got the win for his team with a double stomp from the top rope.

Mandisco and Pump Yo Brakes didn't take their loss well. They tied Supernatural to the ring ropes, and they attempted to unmask the Platinum Crusader.  Dynomite Soul came to Supernatural and the Platinum Crusader's aid and Mandisco and Pump Yo Brakes scattered like the rats they are.  Mandisco vowed that next time they'd get that mask no matter what.

Shane Mackey came to the ring and personally thanked "Dynomite Soul" Eric Walker for the matches he's done for PCW.  Dynomite Soul gave a heartfelt speech about the six years he's given to PCW, and he broke down in tears in the middle of the ring.

Platinum Championship Wrestling returns to Porterdale on May 17.
