The Metro Auction Company was packed for NWA Atlanta wrestling. NWA Atlanta is hit and miss when it comes to story, and while some matches were very entertaining and gave a clear picture of the story they tried to tell, others were muddled.
Canyon, Brian Blaze, and Logan Creed opened the show with a triple threat match. Creed is much loved by the NWA atlanta crowd. For much of the match, Blaze and Canyon worked together to take down Creed. Blaze attempted to make a pin, and Canyon pulled him off. Blaze and Canyon couldn't decide whether they were working together even though the match was every man for himself. Blaze was knocked out of the ring, and Creed applied a facebuster to Canyon and won the match by pinfall. It was an excellent way to hype the crowd and open the show.
Merica Strong took on Nina Monet. Merica Strong was accompanied by Pain and Andy Anderson who stood menacingly by the entrance ramp. Monet gained control and put Merica into a camel clutch. Pain and Anderson attacked her before Merica could tap. Fry Daddy and Logan Creed came in to attack Pain and Anderson. It wasn't so much that they were coming to save Nina Monet since she was a heel. It was more to get at Pain and Anderson. The crowd was quiet for much of this match.
Oscar Worthy announced his team, Andy Anderson and Pain (The Faces of Death), who faced Southern Destruction. Oscar Worthy is a proper, British, man who carries an umbrella and wears a suit. He was the best part of this match. It was difficult to get into this match. The pacing seemed very slow, but not really methodical. Anderson won the match with a backbreaker and neckbreaker combo advancing his team to the next round of the Tag Team Tournament.
Right before intermission, Marty Miller from Wrestlemerica announced that on March 5th they are hosting a benefit for Locust Grove High School, and ECW original Tommy Dreamer is their special guest. Advance tickets are $15 for ringside seats and $10 for general admission.
Johnny Nixx took on Fry Daddy. This match fit perfectly into the post-intermission spot to draw the crowd back in. It was fast and exciting. Fry's punches and kicks looked crisp. Nixx hit a sliced bread for a two count. Fry followed that with a bulldog and an elbow drop for two. Fry won it with The slade ( a back suplex cutter). The crowd in Locust Grove can't get enough of Fry Daddy.
CJ Awesome and Stunt Marshall faced Bill the Butcher and Iceberg. When Butcher and Iceberg won the match, the crowd went nuts. Anderson and Pain came out to beatdown Butcher and Iceberg. Brian Blaze and Nina Monet joined the fray also attacking Butcher and Berg. This seemed a little disjointed because Anderson and Pain had attacked Nina Monet earlier in the show. Oscar Worthy, Pain and Anderson's manager, attempted to poke one of Dementia De Rose's eyes out with his umbrella.
Prince Akbar insulted the crowd, saying they couldn't appreciate the fact he secured talent from around the world for them. Victor Romanoff, a villainous Russian, expected the crowd to rise for the Russian national anthem drawing tons of heat from the small town crowd. NWA Atlanta has tried the Russian gimmick before, and it's never quite worked, but Romanoff pulls it off right. Romanoff faced Tyson Dean, crowd favorite. Romanoff was distracted by Dean, knocked Akbar off the apron, and Dean won with The Ego Trip, a swinging neckbreaker. It was a great ending to the show. Dean took the mic and told us he wouldn't be here for a few shows. Since he can't compete for the NWA Georgia Title as long as Tommy Too Much holds it, he's going after some other NWA titles. At upcoming events in other locations he'll be facing Tim Storm, the North American Champ, Jax Dane, the world champion, Tiger Mask, Jr, the heavyweight Champion, and Greg Anthony, the national champion. He reminded Tommy Too Much that the NWA Georgia title belongs to the people.
NWA Atlanta returns on February 27th.
