Platinum Championship Wrestling--January 2, 2016--Porterdale, GA

Platinum Championship Wrestling started out the year in Porterdale with a packed house and a crowd pleasing show.

Opening Match: The Suntan Demons vs. Brian Kane and Haikken

Winners: Brian Kane and Haikken

Ray Fury and Drew Game, known as the Suntan Demons, faced Brian Kane and Haikken. Game and Fury entered to New Kids on The Block's "The Right Stuff" which garnered a lot of laughs from the audience.  Kane and Haikken's manager, Quasi Mandisco mocked their spray tans. He followed that with "You came to Porterdale, you're stepping into our territory. We will defend it." Mandisco's done a great job of selling the idea that he "is Porterdale" to the audience, though I questioned his new face persona as he stuck to his scarf-choking ways during the match.

The Suntan Demons isolated Haikken for a long time, and they distracted the referee on several occasions to take advantage of illegal double teaming and out of ring beatdowns.  Despite his best efforts, things looked bleak for Haikken. The referee kept Brian Kane out of the ring, powerless to aid his distressed partner. Haikken stuck in there showing great resilience, and Brian Kane got the hot tag. Kane and Haikken dropkicked the Suntan Demons into each other, and each pinned his respective opponent to pick up the win.  After their loss, the Suntan Demons beat up Haikken and Kane, and claimed it was a present from Jeff G. Bailey.

Match 2: Eli Daniels vs. Chris "The Hype" Henry

Winner: Chris "The Hype" Henry

Daniels and Henry are both athletic wrestlers, and this was an entertaining match.  Henry prevailed despite the best efforts of Daniels' ringside manager to thwart him.

Match 3: JAM and Damien Silva vs. Warhorses TBA and TBD

Winners: JAM and Damien Silva due to disqualification.

The match began comedically as all warhorse matches do.  Both teams used video game hand movements and what resembled "Kamehameha" from Dragonball Z.  Silva suplexed a warhorse twice, but he kicked out of the pin. Warhorses don't typically kick out of pins, they get squashed. A couple more unsuccessful pin attempts were made by JAM and Silva, then Warhorse TBA hit JAM with a low blow. The warhorses unmasked, revealing Stephen Platinum and Trevor Aeon from The Cornerstone.

Johnny Danger came out to face them, but he was put down by a rag full of ether.  They painted a yellow streak down JAM's back. Trevor Aeon choked Damien Silva outside the ring while Stephen Platinum addressed the crowd. He called Johnny Danger an ungrateful brat, and he said "When that baby of yours comes out, you'd better rewind the tapes to see if I was in town or not." Jeff G. Bailey extolled the greatness of The Cornerstone. "We are your masters. You may see us again before the night is over."

Match 4: Trevor Aeon vs. "Go Time" Eric Jones

The spirits of the crowd were still down after the events they'd just witnessed. Aeon won with a rope assisted DDT. It was a good match, but it would have been difficult to hype up any crowd after the carnage of the previous bit.  Aeon tried to choke out Jones after his victory, and Geter came out to make the save. Aeon scattered like the rat he is.  Geter reminded Aeon there is still an open contract on the PCW championship, so anytime he feels he's man enough to step in the ring, Geter will defend.  PCW chants were heard throughout the arena as Geter made his rallying speech.

Match 5: Jon Williams vs. Shane Marx
Winner: Shane Marx due to countout

Williams insults Porterdale upon entering.  "Porterdale is awful. Porterdale, GA, the worst city in the entire country. You should bow down and worship me because I'm a TV star. You don't have anyone good enough to face me." Cue returning hero Shane Marx who received an electric response from the crowd.

At the five minute mark, Williams had the upper hand. Marx regained control and decimated Williams with several offensive power moves.  The two wrestled their asses off, and exchanged punches. Williams took every shortcut he could, trying to pin Marx by putting his feet on the ropes. An elbow by Williams was countered with a spear by Marx. Williams followed with a double stomp, and Marx hit him with a spine buster. Williams left the ring and took the microphone. "He wasn't supposed to be my opponent. This match doesn't count.", Williams declared and left the ring. He was counted out and Marx won the match.

Main Event: Bill the Butcher vs. Brian Blaze in a Hangman match.

A hangman match is won when one man throws his opponent over the top rope while they're hanging from a noose.  The Danger City Demons were in the corner of Brian Blaze. They acknowledged that Stephen Platinum was the cornerstone of PCW because he built the place, but the place had long outgrown its creator.  Johnny Danger addressed Stephen Platinum. "You don't know who I am. I'm not the scared little kid you used to beat up during training. You're in my house now. Let's talk about Brian Blaze. Let's talk about justice."

The match was all over the arena the moment it began.  Blaze whipped Butcher with a rope. Butcher choked Blaze as Stephen Platinum ordered the monster "Do what you have to do." Butcher tried to hang Blaze early. Blaze kicked Butcher out of the corner and followed that with a large clothesline. Blaze went for the noose, and Butcher kicked him in the face.  Platinum encouraged Butcher, "You're faster, smarter, better." The crowd chanted, "Shut up Stephen." The fight continued on the ring apron where Butcher speared Blaze. Wrestlers from both sides spilled out of the locker room to join the chaos. Stephen Platinum still had the ether he'd used earlier on Johnny Danger. He was setting up to use it again on Brian Blaze, but was foiled by Shane Mackey, who used it on him. Blaze hung Butcher, and the wrestlers of PCW prevailed. Stephen Platinum repeatedly ethered himself as he still had remnants on the sleeve of his jacket.

Johnny Danger and Devlin Valek will face two representatives of The Cornerstone when PCW returns to Porterdale on January 16th.
