235 packed into the VFW Fairgrounds in Carrollton, GA to watch Peachstate Wrestling Alliance. The show began with the return of fan favorite, "The Cowboy" Dusty McWilliams, who was absent from Peachstate for a year. The crowd welcomed him back loudly, and there was a screaming contest among various sections of the audience over who would get to take home his bandanas. He informed the audience that he was medically cleared to wrestle again, and The Dragon interrupted him. The Dragon said he ought to "Save a cowboy and ride a dragon." and that Carrollton is his town. He challenged McWilliams to fight then and there, and McWilliams replied that cowboys don't back down from anything.
Dragon started out aggressively beating up McWilliams, and he got a chair. As he started to use the chair on McWilliams the referee grabbed it. McWilliams pinned Dragon by taking advantage of the confusion. Dragon argued "Wait till the bell rings. The bell never rang, so you never beat me." McWilliams went to the back triumphantly.
Match 1: "Hit for Hire" Bobby Moore vs. Fred Yehi.
The crowd was clearly behind Yehi for this match. Moore began aggressively with chops to the chest. Yehi elbowed Moore in the corner, and came back with chops of his own. Yehi suplexed Moore, but only managed to get a one count. Yehi hit Moore with a clothesline. Yehi secured victory when Moore tapped to the Koji Clutch. Both Moore and Yehi are solid in-ring performers and the match was a pleasure to watch.
Match 2: NWA GA Heavyweight Champion Tyson Dean vs. Drew Adler
Dean didn't show as much personality during his entrance as I'd seen in previous shows at NWA Atlanta where he really heels it up with the crowd. The crowd was clearly behind Adler in this contest. At the five minute mark, Dean had drew in a submission, kneed him, then threw him down on his back while still holding the arm. Adler kicked out of the pin attempt. Dean attempted to submit Adler again, but Adler got up. Adler elbowed Dean, then rolled him up. Dean got to the ropes and broke the pin attempt. Adler did a nice scoop slam, but Dean kicked out at two. Adler did a flip dive out of the ring onto Dean, then pulled Dean back in for a two count. Adler attempted unsuccessfully to submit Dean. Dean won the match by submitting Adler with a shoulder lock.
Shane Noles announced that the scheduled triple threat match between Ace Haven, Kevin Blue, and Jimmy Rave for the Jr. Heavyweight championship wouldn't happen because Kevin Blue suffered an injured elbow, and Rave wasn't present. Noles tried to present Haven with the title, but Haven said he wouldn't accept anything by forfeit or default. He asked for a suitable opponent, and he was granted Fred Yehi, who worked his second match of the night. It's obvious Carrollton fans aren't fond of Haven, and this was illustrated by the funniest sign I've seen at a wrestling show in a long time. It said, "Ace and Amy, How many animals had to die for your wardrobe?" Considering the Havens are prone to appear in all over zebra print, I'd venture to say a fair amount.
Match 3: Ace Haven vs. Fred Yehi
Haven knocked Yehi out of the ring, and Yehi fell on the thin ropes they were using as a barricade. Haven dived onto Yehi. Haven also did a nice flying headscissors. Haven missed a kick in the corner. Yehi did a snapmare, then stomped Haven's ankle. Yehi then put Haven in a figure four. Yehi broke the submission himself by standing on Haven's still restrained legs and stomping on them. Yehi dropkicked Haven in the ankle, then delivered a gorgeous suplex for a two count. Yehi put Haven in a bodyscissors, but Haven fought out. Haven countered Yehi's assault, attempted a splash, missed, and ended up in the Koji Clutch. Haven got his foot on the rope. Both men made unsuccessful pin attempts. At the end it looked like Haven pinned Yehi's shoulders to the mat, and Haven's music played, however, the referee announced that Yehi was the actual winner and new Jr. Heavyweight champion. Haven and Yehi shook hands and Haven held up Fred's hand as a sign of respect. This signaled the possibility of a face turn for the previously heel Haven.
Tommy Too Much came out to collect the $5,000 from Simon Sermon. He still complained that he's the one who made Simon Sermon, and that his voice is on the song. Simon Sermon carried the envelope with the cash inside, and Too Much called GWH's Larry Goodman to the ring because he trusted him to help count the money. He said "If that's $5,000 I'll take everyone of you to Waffle House. Verify that money is real". They verified it was all there, and Sermon offered Too Much an extra hundred for the beating he was going to give him. Too Much left the ring quickly, and Sermon won by count out. It was a hollow victory leaving Sermon pissed beyond belief. "Tommy Tits, I knew you were a piece of trash Now we all know what you are. There's a battle royal next, and I'm going to get a chair and sit my fat ass in the chair until Tommy too much comes out and I can whip him." He asked for the security guy to hand him his belt.
Match 4: 10 man battle royal
It was interesting to note that in the battle royal only Dusty McWilliams got his entrance music played. Order of elimination was 1. Marvelous Michael Stevens 2. Simon Sermon (eliminated by Tommy Too Much who wasn't even involved in the match) 3. Ace Haven 4. Fred Yehi 5. Tyson Dean 6. Zac Edwards 7. Bobby Moore 8. Drew Adler. 9. The Dragon. Dusty McWilliams won the match, and the audience went into a frenzy. Dragon beat McWilliams upside the head with his trophy, then used it to choke him. Officials had to carry McWilliams out of the ring in absence of a stretcher.
Match 5: "The French Sensation" Romeo vs. "The Original Chosen One" Rick Michaels.
This match was built solidly at the last show as the perfect patriotic spectacle for the July 4th weekend. The French flag and the American flag were placed on poles in opposite corners of the ring. If Romeo obtained his flag first, Michaels would be forced to sing the French national anthem. If Michaels obtained his flag first, Romeo would sing the U.S. anthem. The match also featured 10 lucky fans outside the ring holding straps, which they were allowed to wield if either participant tried to escape the ring.
Prince Akbar came out to USA chants. He put down the arrogant Americans for daring to speak in his presence. He introduced Romeo. Strap-wielding fans started swinging before he even entered the ring. Michaels came out to a passionate crowd who chanted USA and cheered him onto victory. Romeo attacked Michaels from behind before the match really got going. Rick countered and tossed Romeo out of the ring. The strap-wielding fans started their assault, and Romeo leaped back into the ring only to be tossed out the other side. He got back into the ring to meet an assault from Michaels who removed his shirt. Romeo tossed Michaels out of the ring, but the crowd barely swatted at him, some even hugged him. Michaels regained control of the match and attempted to go for his flag, but Romeo caught him. Michaels powerbombed Romeo. Akbar interfered to stop Michaels from getting his flag until Romeo got back into the match. Michaels was busted open, and Romeo angered the audience further by rubbing the blood on his chest and face like macabre war paint. Michaels managed a backbreaker/neckbreaker combination, but Romeo stopped him from retrieving the flag. Michaels finished with a knee to the chin and a superkick. He retrieved the United States flag, and he forced Romeo to sing. "If you don't sing Shane might strip you of the title. He might fire you. But if you don't sing, I'll whip your ass." Romeo butchered the anthem as expected, but the audience went insane for Michaels' win. It was a superb ending for a really good show.
