Platinum Championship Wrestling--July 19, 2014

75 fans came to the Main Event in Porterdale, GA to see the aftermath of July 4th's Revolutionary Wargames. The crowd was hot, new feuds began, and old feuds grew deeper.  Kudos to Referee Dustin Robinson for going the distance and officiating every single match on the show.  

Match 1: "The Undead Luchador", Supernatural vs. "The One Man Militia" Jason Collins. 
Winner: "The Undead Luchador", Supernatural by submission.

Collins made a good showing in his debut match at PCW.  He heeled it up with the audience, and he sold Supernatural's attacks well throughout the match. Supernatural knocked him out of the ring, and it looked like he planned to dive on him. Instead he climbed on his back and rode him around the ring like a horse, charming the audience.  Collins held Supernatural up for about thirty seconds before suplexing him, and he got a two count.  Supernatural answered with forearms, then put Collins into a guillotine.  Collins fought out, and pinned Supernatural for a two count.  Supernatural landed a double stomp to the back of Collins' head, and he got a two count.  They exchanged blows.  Supernatural kicked Collins, and he got a two count. Supernatural missed a splash from the top rope, and Collins took advantage with a suplex and a pin attempt. Supernatural kicked out.  Collins set up for a superplex, but Supernatural knocked him down.  Supernatural then hit him with a frog splash that afforded him a two count.  Supernatural locked in the guillotine and Collins tapped.  The opener really pumped up the crowd, and it set the tone for the rest of the show.  

"The Voice of Reason" Chuck Porterfield announced that PCW is adding an additional show to their schedule on August 23, and it will feature ROH and TNA star Davey Richards who will take on the man who is PCW champion at the time of his appearance.  

Match 2: "The Young Gun" Adrian Armour vs. "Mr. Inspirational" Morgan Davis, III, vs. "Go Time" Eric Jones. 
Winner: "The Young Gun" Adrian Armour by pinfall. 

Adrian Armour left the ring immediately to let the other two participants fight it out.  They followed him and the action spilled into the front row . Armour and Jones entered the ring on the eight count, and Davis remained outside.  Armour delivered a nice spinning slam to Jones and followed that with a knee.  Davis broke up the pin. Davis delivered a crossbody for a two count.  Davis dropkicked Armour, but Jones interrupted the count. Davis slapped Jones angrily, and Armour took advantage picking up the pin. Davis gave a big "Up Yours" to Jones and the audience showing more personality than he'd ever shown before. 

"Marvelous" Marko Polo wore a dress shirt and slacks. He greeted the audience like he was running for office, shaking hands and kissing babies.  He announced he was running for president, and he gave a speech full of references to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence replacing the United States with Porterdale, GA.  He promised to uphold truth, justice and the Porterdale way, and he mimicked Kennedy's famous words when he said "Ask not what Porterdale can do for me, but what I can do for Porterdale". He called Porterdale the land of the people and asked for our votes so he could be the first ever president of wrestling. It will be interesting to see how Marko's move from international male model to man of the people will go over in PCW in the long term, however, it won the hearts of the crowd this weekend. 

Match 3: "Hit for Hire" Bobby Moore vs. The Jagged Edge
Winner: The match was declared a double countout. 

Both wrestlers fought with intensity. Moore tried to run into Jagged with elbows, but it looked like he was running into a brick wall.  Jagged landed three knees into Moore's shoulder while he was down.  Jagged followed with a belly to belly suplex, but only got a two count.  The action spilled to the outside where Moore slammed Jagged's arm into the barricade then hit him.  Back inside, Jagged hit Moore with a giant clothesline.  Jagged followed with a neckbreaker.  The match was intense, and it held so much heat that the ring couldn't contain it.  Moore and Jagged fought outside the ring, and the match ended with a double countout.  After the bell rang, they continued assaulting each other.  The locker room came out to break it up. Half the bench on the other side of the arena from where I sat was cleared to make way for their fight. Jagged speared Moore once they reentered the ring, and the fight raged on. Jagged told Moore he'd started a war that he couldn't finish. "If you want to go to war, I'll take you to war," Jagged declared. This match was a beautiful start to what will be an amazing feud to watch.  

Johnny Danger addressed the audience. "Let's get one thing out of the way. I'm not here to make excuses. Quasi, for one night you were better than me. I let you all down, my family, myself, and Stephen Platinum.  I went home and watched the video.  I wasn't trying to win a match. I was trying to end a man's life.  That's not who I am."  He explained how he was unpopular in school, how he was rejected by girls, and how he'd always channeled his darker impulses to fight the monsters.  He emphasized that he who fights monsters needs to make sure he doesn't become one, and that he was ashamed when one of his young fans told him how cool it was that he'd hit Quasi Mandisco between the legs with a golf club during their street fight.  He praised the fans of Porterdale for finding something to love about Johnny Danger at a time three years prior when he didn't love himself. He declared "Johnny Danger will never lift his hands in anger again.  I'm stepping away from wrestling until I get control of this." Danger seamlessly transitioned into a commentary role, joining Chuck Porterfield on the mic.  

Quasi Mandisco told Johnny Danger, "I told you I'd kill your spirit, and in doing so I killed the spirit of PCW. Mandisco was on fire. He told a lady that she'd better keep her kid away from him or he'd break his back.  

Match 4: Deandre Jackson vs. Devlin Valek. 
Winner: Devlin Valek by disqualification

Valek came out with fury and energy.  The action spilled out of the ring, and Jackson drove Valek into the ring post.  The audience screamed in anger as Mandisco choked Valek with his scarf while Jackson distracted the referee.  Valek was so angry that he tried to go after Mandisco and Jackson pulled him back into the ring.  Valek wrapped Jackson into the ropes, and the referee admonished Valek.  Mandisco freed Jackson from the ropes, then he blatantly hit Valek causing a disqualification.  He tried to goad Johnny Danger into fighting on his brother's behalf, but Danger and the audience chanted "Let us see" and the mysterious cloaked figure came out to save Valek.  Two members of MAIM will face Valek and the mysterious figure at PCW's next show on August 2nd.  

Match 5: The Contras vs. Geter
Winner: Geter by pinfall

The Contras made their return to PCW declaring "When the muscles go up, the mouths go shut." Geter made quick work of them, and stood on his prey in triumph as he pinned him.  The referee jumped out of the ring to avoid Geter as the announcers declared "There's not a wholesome bone in that man's body." Geter said he planned to win the 2014 Tag Team Season, and in the absence of Brian Blaze he'd be the Big F'n Deal by himself.  The Contras declared that neither Geter nor PCW had seen the last of them.  

Main Event: "Do or Die" Chip Day vs. "The Revelation" Shane Marx. 

Jeff G. Bailey accompanied Day to the ring, and he jaw-jacked with two guys on the front row regarding the bandage he still wore upon his head from the War Games.  The match was a balls to the wall, take no prisoners match from start to finish. Marx did a standing hurricanrana to Day, then they fought on the apron. Day did an STO on the apron, and followed with Day of the Dead, but only got a two count.  Day chopped Marx in the corner, whipped him to another corner, then chopped him again.  Marx showed amazing athleticism as he avoided Day's offense by rolling.  Marx did a neckbreaker to Day for a two count.  Day tossed Marx out of the ring, then distracted the referee while Bailey kicked Marx in the gut repeatedly.  Day gained advantage but spent too long posing, so Marx fought back.  Day attempted to choke Marx on the ropes.  Marx landed knees to Day's chin.  Day delivered one of his crisp kicks.  Marx answered with a spinebuster.  Both men were down, and Marx came to his feet first elbowing Day, then following up with a superman punch and a crossbody for a two count. 

Marx delivered a beautiful fisherman suplex that also resulted in a two count.  Day kicked Marx in the gut, then followed with a crossbody. Marx rolled through and pinned Day with Natural Selection.  Marx was declared the winner, however, the referee didn't see Day's foot was clearly on the rope.  Bailey clamored for the referee to review footage on a video camera. The referee reviewed the footage and admitted that Day's foot was on the rope, so the match was restarted. Rachel pushed Jeff G. Bailey off the apron as he sought to interfere, and the referee turned to settle the dispute between those two. Day struck Marx with a low blow, and rolled him up in a cradle for the win.  The audience was mad as hell, and they blamed the referee for not keeping his eyes on the action in the ring.  Marx was helped from the ring by Rachel, Danger, and Marko.  

PCW will be back in Porterdale August 2nd. They will also have shows on August 16th and August 23rd.
