NWA Atlanta had a big Wargames event last night at Stockbridge Middle School. The place was packed, but it felt less like a crowd ready for a wrestling match, and more like a crowd ready to watch a theatrical performance. It took them a while to get into the action. The wrestlers put on a good show, but I don't believe they connected well with the audience to draw them into what went on in the ring.
The first match was a fatal four way style gauntlet match. It began with Drew Adler, Zack Edwards, Matt Sells, and Shaun Banks. As each person got eliminated, another would take his place. Matt Sells and Drew Adler tried hard to work up the crowd upon their entrances. Zack Edwards trash talked and stood on the ring post trying to gauge how much the crowd hated him. Shaun Banks comes out and swivels his hips and the women all take out their phones to take pictures of him. Edwards was eliminated first, and he was replaced by Marko who essentially is pretty and he knows it. Matt Sells was eliminated soon after, and he was replaced by this small masked wrestler who I believe was named El Guapo. He lasted only a few minutes, and was immediately replaced by Fry Daddy. Shaun Banks was eliminated and replaced by the teenager Kody Jack. Fry Daddy ended up besting all his opponents and winning the Metro Atlanta Extreme Championship.
The BFF's fought the team known as Totally Insane next. The BFF's won this one.
The next match was a loser has to wear a dress match. Mike Cannon fought Kurt Kilgore. Kurt Kilgore is the manager of the main heel faction Prince Akbar and his Afghan Assassins. He yells insults at the audience and they yell back. A little girl who was sitting behind me told me how much she hates him. Her mother explained that one time they sat on the front row. The little girl was yelling in Kilgore's face and waving a glow stick at him. He took the glow stick and snapped it in half, so now he's got a hater for life. Kilgore got his Afghan assassin friends to come out and beat up Mike Cannon. They put the dress on Mike Cannon and put on their little headdresses and left. I give Kilgore a lot of credit for firing up the crowd against his faction. An old man attempted to hit him with a cane as he left the ringside area.
The next match was a triple threat match for the NWA Atlanta Championship. Bill the Butcher, Pain, and AJ Steele competed for this honor. Bill the Butcher and Pain have a very cool looking gimmick. They wear black and look a lot like Road Warriors. Bill the Butcher and Pain are accompanied by Jersey Girl, who is essentially a Snookie wannabe. The crowd did pop for AJ Steele upon his entrance. The action spilled out of the ring several times. When the action spills out of the ring, please stay in your seat. Don't follow the action. AJ Steele retained his title.
The main event was the War Games match. Akbar and his Afghan assassins took on Rick Michaels, Simon Sermon, Bobby Hayes, and Fry Daddy. Fry Daddy never made it out to the ring because the minions beat him up. The patriot also got beat up before he was able to make it out to the ring. The crowd yelled USA during the War games match to cheer on The Patriot. Rick Michaels used a chair effectively to crunch a guy's crotch. Finally, as it looked like our heroes were going to be overwhelmed, Andy and Axl Anderson returned to save the day. Prince Akbar tapped to a move similar to the sharpshooter.
NWA Atlanta has their next event May 11th in Locust Grove.
