Platinum Championship Wrestling--December 21, 2013--Porterdale, GA

Chip Day and Sylar Cross started the show by interrupting Shane Mackey and Dynomite Soul's introduction.  They dragged Dynomite to the ring and began beating him up.  They told someone with a video camera that they weren't pointing at the real show. Chip then stated that Mason had really fell off because he lost to Chip Day. Chip also said about Fred Yehi "I get that he can run 8 miles an hour. That's impressive. I'm not trying to be the best at exercising.  I'm trying to be the best wrestler in the company."

Match 1: "Hit for Hire" Bobby Moore vs. "Marvelous" Marko Polo

They locked up, and Moore backed Polo into the corner. Moore slapped Polo and Polo returned with a slap of his own.  Moore kicked Polo and Polo caught his foot.  Polo cornered Moore and chopped him. Moore punched Polo then whipped him into the corner.  Polo reversed Moore's armbar attempt into an armdrag. Moore punched Polo, but Polo countered with a crossbody and another arm drag.  Rachel pulled Polo's ankle trying to worm her way into the match, but it wasn't enough.  Moore and Polo battled on the outside, and Polo threw Moore back into the ring.  Moore kicked Polo in the corner several times, went for a running elbow, and then unsuccessfully attempted a pin.  Moore attempted to submit Polo.  Moore landed a cross body for another unsuccessful pin attempt.  Moore distracted the referee while Rachel beat Polo up outside the ring.  Moore came out of the ring to try to finish what Rachel started, and he and Polo traded blows outside.  Moore landed a back kick.  Moore landed an elbow and attempted a pin, but Polo reversed it.  Moore kicked out.  Moore tries to hit Polo in the corner, Marko dodges, and Moore ends up hitting the turnbuckle.  Marko hit his finisher and pinned Moore. Moore struggled to get his shoulder up at the last second, but no dice. Marko won the match, and this was only the beginning of a great show.

Match 2: Sugar Shane and Brian Blaze vs. Adrian Armour and "Dynomite Soul" Eric Walker.

Blaze started the match in control of Walker.  They played on the opening segment with Walker being off his game because of the attack from Cross. Walker missed an elbow. Shane tags Blaze back in and Blaze tortured Walker's knees.  Blaze and Shane managed to cut off the ring, isolating Walker.  Shane put Walker in a figure four around the ringpost.  While the referee was distracted, Blaze terrorized Walker outside the ring.  Blaze put Walker into a half crab, then put Walker's foot onto the rope, and landed on it with all his weight for maximum damage to the leg.  Walker finally managed a tag to Armour, and Armour did several big clotheslines, followed by a running knee and a powerbomb to Shane.  Walker tagged himself in. He speared Shane then punches him.  Blaze tagged himself back in, and laid waste to Dynomite winning the match.  Dynomite lay prone in the ring, and Armour had to help him out. The attack from Mice and Men messed his knee up, and he left with a noticeable limp.

Terry Lawler talked about the fourth and final Nightmare to Remember show scheduled for February 8, 2014 in Villa Rica.  He wished us all a Very Terry Christmas. 

Match 3: De La Vega vs. Mike Posey

De La Vega grabbed the mic from commentator Shane Mackey and said "What is this match? Why am I wrestling Mike Posey? I believe I am the rightful Platinum Championship Guy."  Mike Posey showed off by doing a split on the ropes.  Posey asked De La Vega to shake hands, and it looked like De La Vega would comply, but he attempted to kick Posey instead. Posey caught his foot, and took him down. Posey wrapped De La Vega up in a submission, and then slapped his butt.  Posey then kicked De La Vega in the butt.  Posey bent De La Vega into a bridge, then slammed him down.  De La Vega drop kicked Posey and attempted to pin him.  De La Vega tried a submission but Posey got up.  De La Vega did a clothesline, then attempted another pin, but this proved unsuccessful.  Vega then bombed Posey, but Posey kicked out again.  Posey kneed De La Vega in the head, but De La Vega put Posey in a face lock.  Posey stood up and kicked Vega in the head. He followed this with giant clotheslines, a spinebuster, and a slingshot dropkick.  He attempted a pin, but was unsuccessful. He followed up with a jawbreaker then a neckbreaker which led to another unsuccessful pin attempt.  Adrian Armour distracted De La Vega. Posey took advantage with a neckbreaker then sailed off the top rope to victory. 

Match 4: Shane Marx vs. "Country Jacked" Corey Hollis

Marx kneed Hollis in the midsection, and Hollis answered with chops to Shane's chest.  Marx landed an uppercut to Hollis's chin. Marx left the ring after Hollis responded to that assault.  Marx punched Hollis repeatedly then elbowed him in the face.  Hollis did a beautiful dropkick.  Hollis tossed Marx into all four turnbuckles then chopped him.  Marx received a big slam form Hollis followed by a suplex.  Rachel attempted to interfere, but Hollis grabbed her by the hair. Marx threw Hollis into the ring post for messing with Rachel. Marx gained advantage by working Hollis's arm. He put Hollis in a hammer lock, but Hollis gets out. Marx clotheslines Hollis, and unsuccessfully attempts a pin.  Marx attempted another armbreaker.  Hollis punched Marx, but Marx landed a boot to Hollis's shoulder.  Hollis chopped Marx's chest, and Marx put him in an armbar again.  Hollis punched again and again and then broke away from Marx to catch his breath. Marx was on him like a dog. Hollis clotheslined Marx and really came back. He suplexed Marx then kicked him in the knee.  Hollis then did a neckbreaker to Marx, attempted a pin, but Marx kicked out.  Marx slammed Hollis, but was unable to get a three count.  Marx landedseveral shots to Hollis's head, and kneed him in the jaw, but still was unsuccessful at pinning him.  They exchanged blows.  Hollis attempted to gain control, but Marx superkicked him in the jaw. They were both down, and Hollis rolled Marx over, but Marx managed to kick out. Hollis did an airplane spin into a slam, but still only managed a 2 count on Marx.  Hollis tried to make Marx submit, but Marx countered and attempted to pin Hollis.  Marx speared Hollis and unsuccessfully attempted another pin.  Hollis rolled Marx up and made another pin attempt.  Marx was down, and Rachel tried to interfere. Hollis did his airplane spin on Rachel, and was about to slam her when Marx superkicked him. Marx then finished with Natural Selection and won the match. Hollis called for the microphone, and said "Give this man a round of applause. These people may hate you, but Shane Marx, you've earned my respect. Shake my hand or I'll punch you square in the face." They shook hands. This match wins match of the night, but Posey and Vega were a close second.

Main Event: Of Mice and Men vs. Supernatural and Fred Yehi

Sylar Cross and Fred Yehi began the match, but Chip Day was tagged in quickly.  Yehi tried to break Day's arm.  Supernatural kicked Day.  Yehi tagged in and grabbed Day by the ear. Day tried to do the same to Yehi, but was unsuccessful.  Supernatural kneed Day's arm, then did a submission similar to the Black Widow, where he wrapped his whole body around Day. Day landed several blows to the chest of Supernatural. Cross slammed Supernatural, but he was not the legal man. Yehi stepped into help Supernatural, and it took a second for the referee to regain order.  Day dragged Supernatural over to his corner then tagged in Cross. Cross elbowed Supernatural, attempted a pin, but Yehi broke up the count.  Day put Supernatural in his version of the lion tamer.  Day then did an STO to Supernatural.  Cross and Day managed to isolate Supernatural for a long time.  Day threw Supernatural into Cross's leg, then stomped on him.  Day followed this with a snap suplex. Cross went to slam into Supernatural in the corner, but Supernatural dodged. Day and Cross hit heads.  Yehi got the hot tag, and the action spilled outside the ring.  Quasi Mandisco set Supernatural on fire, and sicked the Black Chair Brigade on him. The Black Chair Brigade dragged him out the back and beat him up.  Of Mice and Men beat up Fred Yehi in the ring. Quasi Mandisco returned with Supernatural's mask in his hand, and he put it on mockingly.  Supernatural and Fred Yehi won the match by disqualification, but the beatings continued.  Terry Lawler ran to the ring to help Fred Yehi starting a fight between Lawler and Day.  Chip Day's mom ran to the ring to separate them, and Chip hit her, and yelled "You always choose him over me" Terry Lawler and Chip Day are scheduled to face off on January 4th at PCW's next show.

This show was an absolute delight, and the best way that PCW could wrap up their year.  Here's hoping that 2014 starts with as much of a bang as PCW ended 2013.

NWA Atlanta--December 14, 2013--Griffin, GA

The acoustics were terrible in the venue, and there were only 3 matches on the card. The second match was a 20 man Royal Rumble style match, and it was awesome. There were a lot of twists and turns, and the crowd really got into the various rivalries built within.

Match 1: Billy the Kid and Osborne vs. The BFF's

It was odd that the BFF's were getting cheers from this audience. The BFF's spent too much time outside the ring, and it took a long time for the match to get started.  The BFF's picked up the win when Marvelous Michael pinned Osborne.

Match 2: 20 man Saturday Night Rumble:

The participants were as followed: 1: Fry Daddy, 2: Stupid, 3: Frankie Valentine, 4: Simon Sermon, 5: J-Rod, 6: Zac Edwards, 7: Rick Michaels, 8: Rey Guapo, 9: Drew Adler, 10: Matt "Sex" Sells, 11: Drew Game, 12: Santa Claus, 13: King Conga, 14: Bill the Butcher, 15: Luke Gallows, 16:Marvelous Michael Stevens , 17: Adorable Anthony Andrews, 18: Southside Trash, 19: Brian Daniels, 20: Pain.

The match worked like the Royal Rumble where two participants start out in the ring and another enters every two minutes until all 20 men have entered the ring. Elimination occurred when a participant was thrown over the top rope and both feet touched the floor. Order of Elimination was as followed: 1. Stupid, 2: Frankie Valentine, 3: Rey Guapo, 4: Drew Game, 5: Santa Claus, 6: Rick Michaels, 7: Simon Sermon, 8: Matt "Sex" Sells, 9: Fry Daddy, 10: Zac Edwards, 11: Drew Adler, 12: King Conga, 13: Southside Trash, 14: Brian Daniels, 15: Marvelous Michael Stevens, 16: Adorable Anthony Andrews, 17: Luke Gallows, 18: Bill T. Butcher, 19: Pain. The winner was J-Rod. I'd expected that Pain would win, and that the rivalry between Andy Anderson and Pain would be renewed.  J-Rod now gets a shot at the GA Heavyweight title at NWA Atlanta's next show on January 11th.

Simon Sermon and his flaming nipple lights stole the match for a moment during his entrance.  Zac Edwards wore a Christmas Sweater vest that was charming and awesomely awful.  Rick Michaels attempted to get audience adoration by bringing an adorable dog to the ring. Frankie Valentine did quite a few nice spots in the match.  Drew Game just walked around the ring for a long time during his entrance and was eliminated about a second after the referee made him enter. He pitched a nice little fit and the referee had to remove him from ringside.  Matt Sells and Fry Daddy got into a brawl outside the ring because Matt elminated Fry Daddy after he'd already been eliminated himself.  They had a street fight of their own that excited the crowd. Matt's really become good at getting heat lately, and since Fry Daddy's NWA's favorite face of the moment, this is building into the best rivalry the promotion has. Pain accidentally eliminated partner, Bill T. Butcher, and that will likely add to the tension between the two of them. Their valet, Black Widow, certainly looked the part tonight in her leather pants and high boots. She still was very quiet and a little stiff. This match brought sunshine to a  lackluster show.

Match 3: Tyson Dean vs. Andy Anderson for the GA Heavyweight Championship

Kurt Kilgore was his usual adorable, obnoxious self, and as usual he was the best part of the match.  It was a no disqualification match, but there was little interference from Kilgore and little use of outside weapons other than a couple of chair shots from Dean to Anderson. I was way up in the bleachers, and I could see everything, so it was obvious to me when Dean hit Anderson with a chair that he really hit the steps. Tyson Dean won by choking Andy Anderson out.  The crowd was kind of dead for this match. I expected a lot more venom from the crowd when Dean won.

NWA Atlanta is taking a break for the holidays, and their next show will be on January 11th.

Platinum Championship Wrestling---December 7, 2013---Porterdale, GA

There were about 30 people in attendance.  The place felt like a graveyard. The crowd size was down, the diehard fans tried to muster enthusiasm, but it was dead.

The opening match pitted Sylar Cross against newcomer Eric Mayne.  Mayne beat Cross by using his weight against him and rolling him up.  Sylar was a sore loser and beat Mayne up.  The crowd yelled "Loser" at Sylar.

De La Vega, Ricky Nugent, and Adrian Armour participated in a triple threat match. It was good to see Priority Male Ricky Nugent return to Porterdale.  I found this match to be confusing and boring.  It did manage to set up a feud between Adrian Armour and De La Vega, but it didn't connect with me on any emotional level.  Adrian Armour won the battle, and he and De La Vega did a pose off at each other.

Sugar Shane faced Dynomite Soul Eric Walker. Sugar Shane tried to exit the match early by running back up the stairs, but Dynomite dragged him back to the ring.  Dynomite Soul won the match with a running knee to Shane.

Johnny Danger came to the ring for his popular Johnny Danger time segment. He still sported sunglasses.  He said that the past couple months were the lowest point of his life, but his fans had stood behind him through all of it.  He sang "Amazing Grace" at us to illustrate that he was once was blind but now he sees.  Responsibility was the theme of the segment.  He felt partially responsible for the stranglehold that Quasi Mandisco has on PCW.  He held Quasi responsible for the scar on his face, and stated that even though management would no longer allow him to wrestle because of his previous injuries, he wasn't dressed to wrestle, he was dressed for a fight.  Quasi Mandisco insulted the fans, and then he presented Johnny Danger with a restraining order that stated that Johnny Danger wasn't allowed to come within 2000 feet of him at any time.  He said if Johnny Danger violated that order that he'd sue PCW, Tim Savage, and Stephen Platinum. Shane Mackey kicked Johnny Danger out of the building, and according to reports on Facebook Johnny Danger's been fired from PCW. PCW is really putting the fans through the emotional wringer right now.

Mason came out and said he wasn't here to wrestle.  Chip Day attacked him from behind after Jeff G. Bailey said "Life is hard, but it's a lot harder when you're stupid. You say you're not here to wrestle, well, you don't have a choice. The match raged on. Mason went for the scales of justice and knocked out referee Chuck Porterfield.  Sylar slammed Mason, and Chip hit him with a leather belt and then choked him with it.  Chip pinned Mason because Sylar woke the ref after all that punishment.

Mason told Shane Mackey to cut the music. He wanted to set up a tag match pitting himself and Supernatural against Chip Day and Sylar Cross since Chip Day wants to take on former champions. Chip reminded Mason that he'd been run out of PCW and can no longer wrestle due to the stipulation of his match with Shane Marx at Sacred Ground.  Instead of Mice and Men will know face Fred Yehi and Supernatural. PCW will return to Porterdale on December 21st.

Platinum Championship Wrestling--November 16,2013--Porterdale, GA

Match 1: Supernatural vs. Dementia De Rose

Supernatural presented an open challenge, and he was answered by Dementia De Rose.  Supernatural stinkfaced her, and he attempted a sleeper hold.  She snap mared him over.  Dementia did two chokeslams and a side suplex. She followed that with a side head butt.  She bit Super then flipped him over in the corner, but he landed on his feet.  Super went up top, but Dementia beat him down.  She DDT'd him for a pin attempt, but he managed to power out.  Super did a frog splash on Dementia's back and picked up the pin. He quickly dashed away from Dementia's impending revenge and celebrated in the audience with his adoring fans. 

Johnny Danger Time:

Quasi came out and said he planned to make an apology, but first he had a lot to say about the main event.  He complained about how Marko wanted to be "Captain Save-a-tron".  I had a hard time hearing a lot of the first part of Quasi's speech because the crowd attempted to boo him out of the building.  Quasi continued by saying that Marko was not allowed to touch anyone from MAIM until the main event. He called out Johnny Danger so he could apologize for his actions at the previous show.  Johnny Danger's face still looked badly burned from the acid, and he wore sunglasses to protect his sensitive eyes. 

Quasi says to the crowd, "I'm sorry you don't understand what we do.  I'm sorry your lives will never amount to anything.  I'm sorry you live in Porterdump.  I'm sorry you're pieces of ___." (He stopped before he finished that sentence, but everyone knew where was going with it.) Quasi told Johnny that he loved him, but when he turned his back on the Priority Males he'd brought this upon himself.  He told Johnny's wife that since Johnny was injured that he would provide for her in all the best ways. She hit him and a brawl broke out.  Quasi and his minions ripped Danger's shirt and began striking him with a kendo stick.  The Washington Bullets came out to save Johnny Danger.  After the crowd reaction to this segment, I was certain that the addition of the barricades in Porterdale's Main Event Wrestling Arena were to protect the wrestlers from the crowd and not the other way around. 

Match 2: God's Gift to Wrestling vs. Adrian Armour and Joe Black

William Huckaby and Joe Black started the match, but Huckaby tagged in Shawn Adams quickly.  Armour and Black double teamed Adams.  Adams chopped Armour in the corner.  Huckaby came back in and he choked Armour in the corner.  He tried to knocked Joe Black off the apron.  God's Gift to Wrestling isolated Adrian Armour for a long time.  Adams tagged in and he manhandled Armour. Adams did a beautiful dropkick, and Huckaby followed that with a back suplex.  Adams did an elbow from the top rope, but Black broke up the pin attempt.  Huckaby took out Armour with a giant clothesline.  While the referee was distracted, God's Gift to Wrestling made a fake tag. Armour got Adams with a disaster kick off the turnbuckle. Joe Black clotheslined both Adams and Huckaby then drop kicked Adams' face.  Joe Black received a big kick from Huckaby as Adams and Armour battled outside the ring.  Black DDT'd Huckaby to the floor off the top rope. Adams pinned Armour after a big elbow to his face. God's Gift to Wrestling were declared the winner, however, it appeared that Huckaby and Black were actually the legal men. The teamwork in this match was great. 

Anyone who says that tag team wrestling is dead needs to go out to an independent show because tag team wrestling is alive and well here in GA.

Rachel came out to address the bullets. She taunted them with the embarrassment of their loss of their third championship match against The Big F'N Deal at Sacred Ground saying that's why they'd stayed away from Porterdale so long. 

Match 3: Washington Bullets vs. Shane Marx and Bobby Moore

The match began with Jon Williams and Bobby Moore. There were a few quick tags, and at the five minute mark Shane Marx suplexed Trey Williams. Shane and Bobby made a fake tag while Chuck held Jon Williams back from involving himself in the contest after Shane taunted him.  Bobby Moore manhandled Trey and he gave him back elbows in the corner.  Bobby Moore held up his arms and asked the audience "Who sucks now?" and they responded "You suck now".  Shane managed to distract the referee a second time by riling up Jon.  When Jon finally gets in he cleans house. He kicked Bobby Moore in the head.  Shane kicked out after a pin attempt.  Shane received knees to the head, but Bobby Moore broke up the second pin attempt.  The Washington Bullets won the match by pinning Bobby Moore after their double team backstabber and cutter combination. 

Match 4: Sugar Shane vs. Dynomite Soul

Dynomite Soul  performed well in this match.  Sugar Shane won the match, but the referee didn't realize he was holding the rope. 

Sylar Cross and Chip Day came to the ring. He thanked PCW fans for "giving him the night off" so we could watch a night of second rate Athletic competition.  On December 7th he plans to defend the Championship against any ex-champion.  Mason's music played and Chip headed for the hills.  Nothing happened, but hopefully that was a premonition of something that could occur December 7th.  PCW hasn't heard from Mason since Sacred Ground since the stipulation for his loss was that he would leave PCW, but wrestling is much like a soap opera. Their career isn't really dead unless you see the body. 

Match 5: MAIM (Quasi Mandisco, Deandre Jackson, and TMZ) vs. Marko Polo

Marko wasted no time getting this match started, and it got brutal quickly.  A fan made a sign for MAIM and they used the sign to distract the referee so Quasi could choke Marko with his scarf.  Marko survived for a long time even though the numbers game was clearly stacked against him.  Marko Polo hit Quasi with a kendo stick that Quasi had intended to use on him as TMZ beat up the referee. MAIM was disqualified because TMZ beat up the referee, and MAIM responded to this by beating Marko with a chair after the match.  The Bullets and Dynomite came out to assist Marko. Quasi stole the microphone and said "I'm tired of all ya'll interfering with stuff that's none of your business. I don't give a damn about any of you." He attacked Shane Mackey and people had to pull them apart. 

PCW is having a show at Actor's Express Theatre December 4th. Tickets are available online for that show. They will be back in Porterdale on December 7th.

Pro Wrestling Resurrection--November 10, 2013--Gainesville, GA

Attendance was very low, but that's typical for PWR. I counted 25 at belltime.

The show began with All Sells Final. Johnny Danger came out with his face bandaged as a result from last week's vicious attack from Kaiden Knight at PCW.  Matt Sells said "We're thankful for all our fans, all four members of Motley Crue, the doctors who bandaged Johnny Danger's face, and penicillin."  The theme of the show was Feast or Famine. They drew several wrestlers' names, and those who were drawn chose envelopes for either good or bad consequences.

The Undead Luchadors were drawn first, and the paper envelope they chose stated that Zombie Mascaras would be the guest referee in the Women's tag match scheduled as the show's main event.

In the opening contest, Kevin Ballenger faced the International Supertstar simply known as Marko.  Kevin Blue came out during the match wearing a Marvelous Marko shirt, and he stole his U.S. title belt back from Marko.  Marko lost the match against Ballenger because of the distraction.

Marko chose an envelope next, and he was rewarded the opportunity to be General Manager for one match.  As General Manager, he felt the need to dress appropriately, so members of the Fraternity brought him a suit to the ring which he slipped on over his tights. He used his temporary power to punish Kevin Blue. He gave Blue a "warm-up" match against the giant Geter.

Geter taunted the audience as he terrorized Kevin Blue.  Blue sold it extremely well, and the attack looked vicious.  It was exactly what it should be, a form of evil punishment.  Kevin kicked out of Geter's first pin attempt showing great resilience.  He managed to dodge Geter and make him fall with his own momentum. He jumped from the top turnbuckle but Geter caught him.  Marko tried to interfere and hit Kevin with a kendo stick wile Brian Blaze distracted the referee.  Kevin got out of the way, and Marko hit Geter instead. Kevin drop kicked Geter down and got the pin.  This was the best match of the afternoon.  

The next victim of Feast or Famine was "Mr. Seen on TV" Nigel Sherrod who was accompanied by Quasi Mandisco.  There were two slips of paper in his envelope. One read "A trip to China" and the other "Royal Family" They chose "Royal Family" General Manager Michael Gentry revealed that "A trip to China" meant they would have received a $500 gift card to the Hibachi Buffet.  Since they chose Royal Family, they had to put on tiaras, act like princesses, and hand out candy to the audience.  They only complied when the General Manager threatened to take away future title opportunities from The Reckoning.  They threw the candy at the audience and insulted them.  It was hilarious.

Brian Blaze faced Zach Daniels.  Brian and Zach were in the midst of a heated match when Jacob Ashworth pulled Zach out of the ring and beat him down with the aid of Nigel Sherrod and Quasi Mandisco. Quasi choked Zach with his scarf. The match ended in a disqualfication. Jacob Ashworth said "Life's tough for the champ. Enjoy your title reign while it lasts, it's almost over." Quasi added "Ya'll thought it was funny when we were handing out candy, but I don't see you laughing now.  I'd like to announce that Joe Black is joining the Reckoning.  The Reckoning is taking over. You might as well call it Reckoning Pro Wrestling."

The next bout was a 6 man tag that pitted Jacob Ashworth, Joe Black and Nigel Sherrod against The Undead Luchadors and Bulldog James Dylan.  The Bulldog chased Quasi around the ring during his entrance.  While the referee was distracted Ashworth, Black, and Sherrod teamed up on Zombie.  They isolated him for a long time and kept teasing that they'd let him tag.  Zombie moved out of the way of Ashworth's offense allowing Supernatural to come into the match.  He assaulted Black and Sherrod with kicks.  The action spilled out of the ring as Dylan threw Super into Sherrod and Ashworth. Zombie did a Suicide dive into the fray.  Joe Black and Dylan were left in the ring, and Joe Black managed to take advantage of all the chaos and win the match.

Pandora interrupted Michael Gentry while he attempted to announce the Tag Team Title match. She read the crowd the riot act and threatened to cancel her match.  She said the crowd bored her, and that she would leave if the audience didn't make more noise. "I promise you you won't get a match unless you hear noise."

God's Gift to Wrestling faced The Rock and Roll Models for the PWR Tag Team Championships.  Shawn Adams insulted Michael Gentry saying "You fat piece of crap. You're not allowed to speak our names. We are the greatest team to ever grace this company." He also called a boy in the audience an "overweight twelve year old little girl."  Adams and Huckaby didn't let Danger and Sells finish their entrance before they attacked. It must be noted that Johnny Danger's face was marked and his eye showed discoloration from the previous week's attack.  William Huckaby raked the damaged eye of Johnny Danger several times during the match. Matt Sells was isolated for a good portion of the match.  Adams attempted to put Matt down with a Sleeper hold, but that didn't work.  Adams missed a dropkick allowing Matt to tag in Danger.  Adams broke up Danger's pin attempt on Huckaby.  Adams inadvertently struck Huckaby allowing the Rock and Roll models to capitalize and retain their belts.  Huckaby took a foam football from a young boy on the front row and threw it because he was angry he lost.  Gentry commented that God's Gift to Wrestling has fallen from grace.  He said to Huckaby that if he touches anyone he'll hit him.

Pain and Pleasure (Pandora and Nina Monet) faced Dementia De Rose and Aja Pereira.  Dementia De Rose didn't have her signature rose. She instead carried a giant knife to the ring.  Pandora pulled Nina out of the ring to save her from Dementia De Rose's assault in the corner.  It was easy to see that Pandora and Nina have experience as a team when they double teamed the opposition.  Pandora threw white powder in Dementia De Rose's eyes, and they brawled outside the ring. Nina and Aja fought outside the ring on the other side. The match ended in a no contest due to a double countout.  The arena erupted in an all out brawl after that that involved the entire PWR locker room.

This show showed vast improvement over PWR's last two shows.  PWR will be back in Gainesville at the National Guard Armory on December 15 for Winter Riot.  I expect they will continue their positive momentum as they're billing this as a "supercard".

NWA Atlanta--November 9, 2013--Locust Grove, GA

People filtered in until right before the show began. Attendance was about 80. The show began with Tyson Dean and Kurt Kilgore. Kurt Kilgore told the audience that he was celebrating his two year anniversary in Locust Grove "among his peers." He said "I understand you people more than you give me credit for.  You all had dreams, but those dreams were crushed along the way.  I have a gift for you all because Kurt Kilgore has a dream.  I want to invite you all to witness Tyson Dean win the belt. That's my dream." 

Frankie Valentine was Tyson Dean's opponent in the opening contest. Tyson Dean won cleanly. The crowd wasn't very animated for the opening bout despite Kilgore's best efforts to engage them and their wrath. 

Zac Edwards faced King Conga.  Zac acted cowardly, and took a long time to get into the ring. King Conga showed more personality than I'd seen him show in prior outings. He attempted to channel pieces of Abdullah the Butcher and George the Animal Steele by chewing on the ropes and biting the turnbuckles.  Conga exposed one of the turnbuckles to use as a weapon. Zac Edwards capitalized on the exposed turnbuckle because Conga ran into it himself. Edwards rolled him for the pin, and the referee failed to notice his feet resting on the ropes. 

Stupid, accompanied by Tweety, faced Drew Game. Stupid's interactions with the crowd amused me greatly. He claimed that he would win with mind power. Despite his claims and an attempt at interference by his ringside companion,  Drew Game won this bout.

Bobby Hayes faced masked wrestler, Rey Guapo.  Hayes wasted no time attacking Rey Guapo.  The action spilled all over the arena.  Bobby Hayes hit Rey Guapo with a trash can. Hayes pinned Guapo picking up the win.

Kurt Kilgore returned to the ring to give the audience what he called a PSA on disfunctional families just in time for the holidays. He claimed that the Andersons are now disfunctional since Andy's won the belt. "Axil has become a jobber right before our eyes.  We've put him aside now that Andy's champion."

Axil and Andy Anderson faced Bill T. Butcher and Pain.  Bill T. and Pain wasted no time attacking the Andersons. Kurt Kilgore and Tyson Dean came back out to ringside to observe the action. The interaction between Kilgore and the audience was more entertaining for a moment than the match itself.  Tyson Dean stole the Heavyweight championship belt, and Andy Anderson ran backstage after him abandoning Axil. Pain and Bill T. Butcher won the match because Andy left Axil to fend for himself. Andy returned to the ring, and Axil pushed him. He refused to shake Andy's hand, though he grudgingly handed him back his title belt. Could we soon see an Anderson family feud?

Matt "Sex" Sells faced Fry Daddy for the Georgia Max Championship in the main event.  Matt Sells claimed he was our "Rockstar Savior". He was accompanied by a manager he called his "hetero life mate" who wore short green shorts and a shirt that said "Chicks Dig Heels". Sells and Fry Daddy possessed great in-ring chemistry, and this was the best match of the evening.  Matt hit Fry Daddy with the belt while the referee was distracted, but Fry Daddy managed to kick out of that pin attempt. Matt got him with a DDT, and won the belt.  Matt Sells is the new Georgia Max Champion at NWA Atlanta.

The show had bright spots, but was generally steeped in mediocrity.  NWA Atlanta will be back in Stockbridge, GA December 14th.

Platinum Championship Wrestling---Porterdale,GA---November 2, 2013

Match 1: Warhorses 94, 1111, and 13 vs. TMZ, Kaiden Knight and Deandre Jackson.

The match was fairly entertaining, and it did a good job of establishing TMZ, Kaiden Knight, and Deandre Jackson as bad guys since the audience was unfamiliar with them for the most part. The Warhorses put up a better defense than they do in most of their matches, but TMZ, Kaiden Knight, and Deandre Jackson prevailed.

Johnny Danger Time:

Johnny Danger told us that he is a hero to the people, and he fulfilled a request for birthday wishes. He sang Happy Birthday to a fan ( the you look like a monkey and smell like one too version).  He spoke on the power of friendship and how Dynomite Soul is now one of his good friends since his injury.  He told Dynomite "You've got a lot of fight, a lot of heart.  Let this one go. Sylar's been suspended." Dynomite responded that Jeff and Sylar made two mistakes, they jumped him from behind and they left him breathing.  He said "Shane. I don't care about suspension. I know you're here, Sylar. Let's settle this like men.

Sylar came out and he and Dynomite Soul fought all over the arena. They finally got into the ring and fought there. When Dynomite gained advantage and was about to leap from the top turnbuckle, Sugar Shane clipped his leg. Sylar power slammed Dynomite, and Sugar Shane RKO'd him. Sylar said to Johnny Danger "Every single one I put down is you. I'm coming for your ass."

Match 2: Sugar Shane vs. Marko Polo

This was a pretty good match. Sugar Shane lost the match because he tried to use Dynomite Soul's cane against Marko. Dynomite came out and grabbed it away. The distraction was enough for Marko to get Shane into a submission, and Shane tapped.

Main Event: Supernatural vs. Chip Day

Supernatural hadn't entered yet as Chip Day came out. Jeff G. Bailey spewed the vitriol he's most famous for. Chip opened the casket and out popped Supernatural. Supernatural slammed Chips head into the wall and tried to choke him.  He slammed his head into the casket. Chip kicked Supernatural in the top of the head, and then slammed him into one of the benches. All this happened before the bell rang. In the middle of the match, Supernatural had Chip down, but Jeff distracted the referee. Chip won and retained the title, and he won pretty cleanly.  Whoop, there it is has become their celebratory battle cry.

Finally, the moment we'd all been waiting for arrived. At Thursday's show, the stipulation for De La Vega vs. Marko Polo was Quasi had to wear a dress if De La Vega lost. Quasi had to fulfill those requirements, and he was brought out kicking and screaming to the ring. They had him tied up in wrapping paper, and they announced him as the "Priority Female". They unveiled his look, and he wore a black and white striped dress, and he had a sparkly black scarf tied around his head.  Quasi did his best sexy girl runway walk to Rupaul's "Supermodel". He then took the mike. "Ya'll think this is exciting. Well I've got an announcement. There are no priority males, but we've got a whole new group for you."

Deandre Jackson, Kaiden Knight, and TNT came out and they threw chemicals in Johnny Danger's eyes. His wife jumped into the ring as those guys made their hasty retreat. She cried and she screamed "I hate you Quasi." Her performance sold the attack brilliantly.  Kaiden Knight was escorted from the building by Porterdale Police and arrested.  As a result of this attack, a handicap match is set up between Quasi's new group and Marko Polo.

Platinum Championship Wrestling returns to Porterdale November 16th.
