NWA Atlanta---Locust Grove, GA---10/12/13.

There were approximately 70 fans in attendance in Locust Grove for NWA Atlanta on Saturday night.  The crowd was pretty hot for this show.

Match 1: Fred Yehi vs. Drew Adler

Fred Yehi came out with a video camera, and he yelled at the fans for cheering when Drew Adler entered. Drew Adler bills himself from the Mushroom Kingdom, wears Mario related ring gear, and enters to the Super Mario theme.

Drew and Fred began by grappling. Drew clotheslined Fred, but Fred took the coward's way out.  The ref started counting, and Fred yelled at Drew to slow down. Drew got a "Scaredy Cat" chant directed at Fred from the crowd.  They grappled again.  Drew got Fred into an armbar, and Fred managed to pull Drew down for a pin, but Drew kicked out.  Fred got hold of Drew's arm but Drew reversed it.  Fred tied Drew up in his shirt, and he had Drew's legs up around his head.  Drew managed to gain control, and he did this move where he rolled like a bowling ball.  Drew followed that with a nice suplex, but Fred kicked out of the pin attempt.

Fred went for a leg drop and missed. Drew slammed Fred, and then whipped hm into the corner.  Fred flipped over the rope and pulled Drew out of the ring.  They fought outside the ring exchanging chops.  Fred kicked Drew in the head , then he did a neckbreaker. Drew kicked out of the pin attempt. Fred put drew in a chinlock, but Drew fought his way out. Fred chopped Drew and he taunted the crowd as he continued his assault.  Drew regained control, but he didn't keep it for long. Fred slammed Drew, then went off the top rope, but Drew countered.  Drew landed a running knee. Fred countered as Drew ran out of the corner with an elbow.  Drew kicked Fred in the head and secured the victory. This was a great high energy opener. Both wrestlers are technically gifted, and they both did their best to get the crowd invested.  This is easily the match of the night.

Match 2: Axil Anderson vs. Bill T. Butcher

Andy Anderson's music played, but Tyson Dean came out instead.  He said that Andy Anderson couldn't make it because he was still suffering from the injuries he'd given him.   He called out Axil Anderson, and Tyson told Axil he had a surprise for him. They cued up Bill T. Butcher's music, and he came out to stomp Axil Anderson.  The action spilled out of the ring, and they got counted out. It was ruled a double disqualification because they went through the barricade. Bill T. Butcher kept attacking. 

Matt "Sex" Sells came out and the crowd yelled "We don't want to hear you." He responded, "Each and every one of you are just like Fry Daddy. The thing that separates me from Fry Daddy is that he has to try hard." Sells really has the cocky, wanna be rock star thing down.  He said he'd lay waste to Fry Daddy later in the evening. 

Match 3: Zac Edwards vs. Frankie Valentine

There was a pretty good exchange in the middle of the match where Frankie clotheslined Zac and Zac jumped over Frankie's head. Frankie got him down and did an elbow to his throat.  Zac spent a lot of time outside the ring during this match.  Zac did a tilt a whirl backbreaker to Frankie.  Zac lost the match because he was too distracted by the idea of Bowtie Power.  Frankie rolled him up.

Match 4: The BFF's vs. Rick Michaels and The Patriot.

Rick came out and told the BFF's that it's Breast Cancer Awareness month and that Real Men can Wear Pink, but they looked like they were dressed for the Pride parade going on in Atlanta this weekend.  Rainbows are for sissies. The entire crowd started chanting "Sissies" at BFF's.  Rick Michaels went to shake Adorable Anthony's hand but thumbed him in the eye.  The match barely got started when Michael Stevens left the ring.  The Patriot got into the match for a short time, and when Rick tagged in he slid under the Patriot's legs to give his opponent a low blow which the ref didn't catch. When he complained about Rick's low blow, Rick Michaels said there was nothing there to hit.  Rick was isolated for a while. He managed to make the tag but the referee didn't see it. The BFF's won.  This match didn't click for me. Rick and The Patriot seem like a mismatch, and I wish I knew the history behind why they were tagging.  In general, I found the match boring.

Match 5: Stupid vs. Shaun Tempers

Tempers chopped Stupid on every corner of the ring.  Stupid distracted the referee and Tweety attacked Shaun.  Stupid then did a neckbreaker and pinned Shaun, but he kicked out.  Stupid did a chinlock to Shaun. Shaun gained control and side slammed Stupid. Stupid regained control and did an elbow. Stupid got a pin, but Shaun got his leg on the rope. Shaun suplexed Stupid, then did a neckbreaker, and he managed a pin attempt.  Shaun got Stupid in a submission where it was likely he'd have tapped if Tweety hadn't interfered and pulled his leg onto the rope.  There was a nice scoop slam from Shaun.  Tweety tried to create her typical distractions, but Shaun won the match.

Main Event: Matt "Sex" Sells vs. Fry Daddy

Matt Sells refused to perform unless he received complete silence, and the crowd responded by screaming louder.  Fry Daddy punched and kicked Matt in the corner, and Matt took the coward's way out by leaving the ring to call a time out.  Fry Daddy pushed Mat's head into the barricade. When they got back in the ring, Matt pins but no win.  Matt played drums on Fry Daddy's head while he had him down between his knees. He danced suggestively as well.  The crowd chanted "Slater wannabe" at him the entire match.  Fry Daddy did a bulldog. Matt did a headscissors. Fry Daddy set up for a crossbody, but Matt got a pin by rolling Fry Daddy over.

This show was better in my opinion than NWA Atlanta's War Games show that I attended during the summer.  NWA Atlanta may be on the rise. Their Halloween show is Oct 26th at Stockbridge Middle School, and I will be in attendance.
