CHIKARA:
Final 2 days to pre-order tickets for Saturday's Cibernetico in Philly!
This Saturday, two teams of eight men each will meet in the main event of "Cibernetico & Robin" our first Saturday night event at the New Alhambra, and our fouth annual torneo cibernetico!

For example, only one man can win the tournament; so should one team be eliminated, the opposing team will face off until just one man is left standing. Another is the batting order system, which means that the teams are restricted to tagging out in a specific order, which we have confirmed for you right here:

New TNA star wins AAA World Title, NWA: Upstate on 9/22, Strangehold
Source: WRESTLEVIEW.COM
AAA News
TNA Star New World Champion
Ricky Banderas or Judas Mesias in TNA, became the new AAA World Champion in the event name Verano De Escandalo that was this last Sunday in Mexico City. He fight against Charly Manson and Chessman.
NWA: Upstate
Presents "The Indytational"
Saturday September 29th, 2007
Minnet Hall Henrietta NY
"The Indytational" - a one night singles tournament consisting of 6 men, with the winner getting an open contract to sign himself in any match he wants, whenever he wants. This tournament will have a very unique structure as the first round will be only two singles matches, decided by a random draw. This leaves 2 men with an automatic by to the second round where they will face winners of round 1. The winners of that match will then face off to decide the winner of the tournament.
So far the names signed up for this tournament are NWA Upstate's own Jimmy Olsen, WSX's Ruckus, Judas Young, international super star/Ball Park Brawl Champion Sterling James Keenan, Fabulous John McChesney, and former ECW, WWE and NWA star Danny Doring.
NWA Upstate Tag Team Title: The Roadies (c) vs Brodie Lee / Cloudy
NWA Upstate Kayfabe Dojo Title 3 Way: "The Dark Pony" JP Black (c) vs Bolen vs Oman Tortuga
NO DQ Street Fight BigCat Lemmer vs Triple X - winner gets the services of Momma Lemmer
4 Way Special Attraction: Colin Olsen vs Gabe Saint vs Cheech vs Super Extremo
25 Person Rochester Rumble: Winner get Title Shot of His/Her choosing
**Also for any true wrestling collector there will be a huge set up of wrestling action figures including WWE, WCW, TNA and any other popular collectibles. Karen's Toy Box(Rochester NY) will also be providing vintage wrestling magazines, ring memorabilia and hundreds AND HUNDREDS of action figures both loose and mint for the fans.
DO NOT MISS THE HOTTEST SHOW IN ALL OF NEW YORK SEPTEMBER 29TH...SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AT NWA UPSTATE
HUGE STRANGLEHOLD NEWS!!
After a week of bizarre changes to the card due to talent cancellations, Bloody Bill Skullion has done the unthinkable and booked what is potentially the biggest Hardcore Match in Canadian history...
DRAKE YOUNGER vs NECRO BUTCHER
Necro was originally scheduled to face Tracy Smothers at the Zero Gravity Circus (1300 Gerrard St) but apparently he developed vert-ego and demanded a plane ticket after agreeing to drive himself and Gypsy Joe to the show.
Stranglehold was in no position to take on the astronomical added cost of a last minute plane ticket and had to break the news to fans that Smothers & Joe weren't coming. The removal of those two stars effectively destroyed the card's two Main Event Matches.
Now with the announcement that "The Future of Harcore" Drake Younger will be facing Necro Butcher the card looks even better than it did before.
The Murder Junkies were set to face Juggulator & Joe in a tag match but that too is now toast. Skullion announced that former AWA/WWF star Pat Tanaka is coming so perhaps he will team with Juggz to face the Murder Junkies.

The Commissioner of KSW, Ben Franklin, has released the card for Hotwired 2 held at Perry Common British Legion in Kingstanding on 29th September. This show will see the anticipated return of Tommy Gunn to face Staxx who has made Gunn's life a misery before his injury took him out of wrestling for 3 months.
Will Tommy get the revenge he so desperately wants against Staxx?
Rigour Mortis has been showing too many signs of independence for Tyler's liking, punishing him in front of the audience that have been screaming for Mortis to turn on its master, but it appears the Demon is trapped under the spell of King Tyler Rayne.
Will Rigour Mortis defeat Kid Flash after obeying his master and throwing the young Kstar out during the number one contenders rumble. More importantly, will the Demon ever escape Tyler's control?
Hot Chocolate and the Hunter Brothers get a chance at winning the KSW tag titles in a 3 team elimination tag. Will Cupid and Franco stave off these odds and pull another impressive victory out of the bag?

Shows
The Commissioner of KSW, Ben Franklin, has released the card for Hotwired 2 held at Perry Common British Legion in Kingstanding on 29th September. This show will see the anticipated return of Tommy Gunn to face Staxx who has made Gunn's life a misery before his injury took him out of wrestling for 3 months.
Will Tommy get the revenge he so desperately wants against Staxx?
Rigour Mortis has been showing too many signs of independence for Tyler's liking, punishing him in front of the audience that have been screaming for Mortis to turn on its master, but it appears the Demon is trapped under the spell of King Tyler Rayne.
Will Rigour Mortis defeat Kid Flash after obeying his master and throwing the young Kstar out during the number one contenders rumble. More importantly, will the Demon ever escape Tyler's control?
Hot Chocolate and the Hunter Brothers get a chance at winning the KSW tag titles in a 3 team elimination tag. Will Cupid and Franco stave off these odds and pull another impressive victory out of the bag?

Rigour Mortis vs Kid Flash
Stuart Neale vs Sk8er boy Andy Heaven

As O'Shea and York celebrated, Ethan Page ran out to aid Alexander. He grabbed the mic and said that since he was #1 Contender, he will meet Alex York one on one next LLWA show. As Page spoke, Prodigy and Brown snuck up behind him. Eventually all four ganged up on Page, obliterating him. "The Four Whoresman" as they now wish to be known as, now seem to be in control of LLWA as they hold all the gold. A recovered Alexander grabbed a chair and ran back into the ring managing to get a shot on Steve Brown.

TID then had a little kid climb in the ring and draw a number for the last entry into the Sabin 6 Pack. The kid drew #4 who turned out to be Matt Bison
Bison came to the ring followed by his Deathproof partners Rip Impact & Devon Parkside. Bison told them that he was pulling out of the Trifecta title match which didn't make Parkside happy but Rip was "meh". Parkside walked out & TID kicked the other two out of the ring as well.
1) Steel City Championship:
Reggie Marley def GT Dynamite to retain the title
The 4 Whoresmen cut a promo (Reese Reynolds, Alex York, Scotty O'Shea & Steve Brown)

FCW Results 9/15/07
The new WWE Developmental Territory; Florida Championship Wrestling, held an event on September 15th at the Jewish Community Center, 9841 Scenic Drive in Port Richey, FL. Thanks go out to Ker’s Winghouse for stopping by with items for the audience. The evening began with Steve “Gator” Keirn letting the fans know what they were going to see tonight and some history of wrestling in the Tampa Bay area.
(1) “The Professional” Mike Mondo defeated Chris Gray.
In the opening moments Mondo tried to control the bout but Gray took over with a headlock takeover and kept Mondo off balance with a flying head scissor takeover. Mondo got to his feet and with a handful of hair backed Gray to a corner where he hit a kneelift. Mondo took over with a headlock and some punches that the referee didn’t see due to some maneuvering. But Gray fought back with two bodyslams and a headlock takeover for two. Mondo got an overhand wristlock applied but Gray fought out and hit several European style forearms but couldn’t avoid a cross armbreaker that got two. Mondo went for the submission with a front facelock but opted for a stepover armbar but couldn’t get Gray to give up. Mondo went up to the second rope but instead of landing a move, he landed face first on Gray’s boot. Gray went on the offense with a furious attack but his speed came back to an end when a corner splash only met the corner buckles. Mondo snuck in and rolled up Gray for the victory, not too sure if he used the tights for leverage.
(2) Egotistical Fantastica and Johnny Curtis defeated “The Human Massacre” Keith Walker and “Bad Seed” Shawn Osborne.
Early on it was obvious that Walker and Osborne were going to bend the rules at any cost, using hair pulls and other trickery. But they couldn’t combat the double team work of Curtis and Fantastica who worked over Osborne’s wrist. Walker tagged in but walked right into an armdrag from Fantastica and a spinning head scissor. Curtis and Fantastica kept Walker isolated until some clever maneuvering sent Curtis into the ropes and a forearm to the back from Osborne. Walker and Osborne taunted the fans and Fantastica as they beat down Curtis for several minutes. But no matter what they hit Curtis with he refused to be pinned nor would he submit. Osborne made an error and missed a corner splash and it allowed Curtis to tag in Fantastica who avoided a Walker spear which leveled Osborne who was easy to pin.
(3) “The Natural” Nick Nemeth defeated Hade Vanson.
Nemeth tried to control the match with arm bars and some trash talk but he seemed a bit off kilter when Vanson locked in a spinning toe hold. Nemeth screamed in pain and crawled to the ropes for a break. Nemeth decided to change his attack by stalling for time and avoiding Vanson. That didn’t work and Vanson hit several forearms to the jaw that sent Nemeth to a corner. Vanson went after him and got kneed in the jaw. Nemeth went right to the injury with a neckvise submission but slid into a head scissor with some help from the ropes as the referee was asking Vanson if he wanted to give. Vanson was able to fight out of the hold and get to his feet, only to be hit in the gut with a knee. As the referee checked on Vanson, Nemeth went to the corner and removed a turnbuckle pad. As the referee went to fix it Vanson got a small package pin without a count. Nemeth got two after sending Vanson into the corner chest first, sucking all of Vanson’s wind out with it. Vanson fought out of a chinlock even as Nemeth raked the eyes. Nemeth went for a running boot but Vanson caught it and leveled Nemeth with several chest chops and a running knee to the face. But when it looked good for Vanson, Nemeth’s old Spirit Squad partner Mike Mondo came out and distracted Vanson long enough for Nemeth to get the pinfall via a small package.
(4) G-Rilla and Jake Hager defeated Kofi Kingston and Steve Taylor.
Taylor and Kingston kept Hager on the defensive working on destroying his left arm. Hager fought off the pain and raked Taylor’s eyes but Taylor whipped him to a corner. Taylor went for a suplex but Hager drove him into the corner where G-Rilla was waiting to attack. Kingston tried to come in and aide his partner but got sent out by the referee who didn’t see G-Rilla and Hager’s double team assault. Taylor survived and tagged in Kingston who also got backed into the wrong corner where G-Rilla pounced on him with a fury. G-Rilla used his near 300 pound frame to toss Kingston from one corner to the other and nearly broke a jaw with a legdrop. Kingston fell to the canvas after getting hit with a posterior first corner splash. Kingston countered a backdrop into sunset flip but G-Rilla sat out and landed on Kingston’s chest. Hager tagged in and locked in abdominal stretch with some help from G-Rilla on the ring apron. Kingston fought back and out of a G-Rilla slam, hitting a spinning heel kick to the head. This allowed Taylor to tag in and go on the attack hitting Hager with a fireman’s carry into a forward roll but G-Rilla broke up the pin. All four men got in but it was Kingston and Taylor who hit double top rope cross bodyblocks. But the referee tossed Kingston to the apron since he was not the legal man. As this occurred G-Rilla and Hager hit a double team neckbreaker to get the win.
(5) “Stampede Kid” TJ Wilson defeated Heath Miller and Ted Hart.
While Hart and Miller were thinking up stuff to do, Wilson hit both of them with a dropkick and went on the attack. That was stopped when Miller hooked his arms and Hart punched Wilson in the jaw. Hart hit Wilson with a neckbreaker and Miller laid the boots in as the referee tried to get them to stop as Wilson crawled to the ropes. They hit Wilson with a suplex but instead of going for the pin, they decided to taunt the crowd. The double team work kept going with a corner clothesline and suplex as Wilson was trying to recover from the assault. Next they took turns distracting the referee so the other could choke Wilson in the corner. Wilson got some senses back and avoided Miller’s shoulder tackle that met the steel ring post. But Miller recovered and leveraged Wilson to the floor where Hart followed out with a moonsault and some shots to Miller who he felt should have put Wilson away. Hart tossed Wilson back in the ring and went to work on him but a backdrop went wrong and Wilson landed on his feet, allowing him to hit a Northern Lights suplex for two. Wilson dropped Hart on the top rope but hart blocked the move and headbutted Wilson back into the ring where he hit a front twisted senton but Miller grabbed him and sent him to the floor, crashing into the ring steps. Wilson hit a sling shot elbow drop but Hart got back in the ring and sent him to a corner. But Hart walked into a Miller spinebuster for two. Miller went up top but Hart brought him off with a slam. Hart decided to go up again and hit a top rope Acecrusher but Wilson hit a Dragon Sleeper into a slingshot sit out power bomb. He didn’t forget about Miller who was hit with a springboard tornado DDT. Wilson locked Miller into a Cloverleaf but Hart locked Wilson in a Dragon Sleeper. Miller recovered and hit Hart with an enziguri but his rope legdrop move backfired and he was pinned by Wilson.
(6) With special referee FCW Diva Victoria, Bella Twins (Bri and Nicole) defeated Krissy Vaine and Nattie Neidhart.
If you were in attendance good luck trying to tell the Bella’s apart in their matching “Cadillac” Williams tops. They also kept Neidhart and Vaine confused with a high speed offense that Neidhart stopped with a knee to the back when Vaine tossed a Bella into the ropes. Neidhart and Vaine used their experience to maneuver the Bella twin around keeping Victoria blocked from seeing illegal activity. They kept the twins apart but nearly got pinned when their cockiness backfired. It did backfire on Neidhart and the twins made the tag, but Neidhart collided with a twin who fell to the floor. Vaine and Neidhart were busy talking to Victoria and no one in the ring saw the twins switch on the floor. It led to Neidhart being rolled into an inside cradle for the upset victory.
(7) The Giant Titan defeated Doink the Clown.
Referee Buck Quartermaine had his hands full with the shenanigans of Doink, while Titan had trouble keeping Doink from stepping on his feet. Titan went for a slam but Doink slid off only to be elbowed in the ribs. Titan went for an elbow but Doink moved. But he didn’t get far as Titan hit a sideslam and was backed into a corner where Titan hit an elbow before tossing Doink to the floor. Titan grabbed Doink in a double handed choke and smashed him into the ring post, but missed a punch that hit the post as Doink slid back in the ring. Titan came back in the ring and hit a corner clothesline but his corner splash met Doink’s boot bottoms. Doink climbed on top and locked in a sleeper but Titan fell back into a corner breaking the hold. Titan went for a corner splash but hit the top of the ring post instead. Doink hit a top rope sitout drop but even a top rope bodyblock couldn’t keep Titan down. Titan fired back with a chokeslam that shook the ring and the wind out of Doink who was pinned.
(8) FCW Southern champion Harry Smith defeated former WCW/WWE champion World Cruiserweight champion Billy Kidman (w/FCW Diva Lacey Von Erich.)
This was a classic battle of youth vs. experience and early on Smith controlled the match with speed and sending Kidman to the floor to regroup. Smith had enough and followed Kidman out but got a boot to his ribs. Kidman went to whip Smith into a row of chairs but he was reversed and the fans went running to safety. Smith dragged Kidman to the ring and hit a standing suplex just like dad used to for two. Smith went for a move but Kidman used some leverage and drove Smith shoulder first into the ring post and the assault began as Kidman went to work driving his knee into the shoulder joint. Kidman used a variety of armlocks trying to wear down Smith but they were to no avail. Kidman switched strategy and locked Smith in a sleeper. Smith fought to his feet and hit a Saito suplex that briefly took the out of both men. Smith got to his feet first and went on the attack but his power bomb was countered by Kidman into a facebuster. Kidman went up for the Shooting Star Press but Smith caught him. Kidman came off the top and got a pinfall but Kidman used the ropes. But Commissioner Steve Keirn saw it and ordered a re-start to the match. The match didn’t last much longer as Kidman fought off a Smith sunset flip with help from Lacey. The referee saw it and ordered Von Erich down from the apron. When she refused referee Quartermaine kicked her hands sending Kidman to the mat where his shoulders were counted down.
(9) G-Rilla won a battle royal to name a new number one contender to face Harry Smith for the championship on September 25th. In the match were: Ted Hart, Johnny Curtis, Hade Vanson, TJ Wilson, Keith Walker, Heath Miller, The Giant Titan, Shawn Osborne, Billy Kidman, G-Rilla, Egotistical Fantastica, Mike Mondo, Nick Nemeth, Jake Hager, Steve Taylor, Kofi Kingston and Chris Gray. The final three were Kidman, Hart and G-Rilla. Hart eliminated Kidman with a clothesline but G-Rilla eliminated Hart with a backdrop.

Rising Phoenix Wrestling 9/15/07 Results
Greg DeMarco, The Voice of Rising Phoenix Wrestling
A capacity crowd turned out for Rising Phoenix Wrestling on September 15 at the 52nd Street Armory in Phoenix. A new venue, new lights, and more new talent all combined to bring Arizona wrestling fans a night they won't soon forget.
The main event tag team grudge match between TNT (Brandon Nitro & Johnny Nitro) and NWA Arizona Heavyweight champion "XXX" Lawrence Tyler & "Miracle" Mike James became even more heated when two additional stipulations were added to the match. First, it was announced that it would be one of two first round matches in the NWA Arizona Tag Team Championship Tournament taking place that night. Second, "XXX" Lawrence Tyler accepted Brandon Nitro's challenge that if Nitro could pin the champ, he would receive another shot at Tyler's title. Tyler spent most of the match outside of the ring, only interjecting himself when he was in the least danger of being pinned by Nitro. However, it was Johnny Dynamite who scored the pinfall over LT in the end, inadvertinently eliminating Nitro's shot at the gold. The match also lead to three developments, each having a tremendous impact in their own way. RPW Commissioner acknowledged that while Lawrence Tyler did not have to defend his title against Brandon Nitro, his next challenge would come from the man who did pin him, Johnny Dynamite. As a result of their win, Nitro & Dynamite have advanced to the second round of the NWA Arizona Tag Team Title Tournament. Finally, frustrated by his team's loss, "XXX" attacked Mike James after the match, ending the partnership and friendship shared by James and the man who trained him.
In the other first round match of the NWA Tag Team Title Tournament held this evening, Dean Radford and Black Metal defeated the team of "Tough" Tony Durango and Bonzai to advance to the second round.
In a small measure of revenge stemming from their first match (which resulted in a 20 minute time limit draw), Mikey Nicholls cost The Hawaiian Lion the chance to pick up a victory in a Triple Threat Match that also included TJ Perkins. Nicholls made Perkins tap out to Lion's own ankle lock after tying up Lion's leg around the ringpost, eliminating the Arizona favorite from the match.
Complete results:
1. Dean Radford & Black Metal beat "Tough" Tony Durango & Bonzai in a first round match in the NWA Arizona Tag Team Championship tournament
2. Mayhem pinned The Navajo Warrior
3. Ryan Taylor pinned "Da Latin Terror" Don Montana
4. Mikey Nicholls made TJ Perkins tap out to an ankle lock after tying The Hawaiian Lion leg's around a ringpost to win a Triple Threat Match
5. Country Bear pinned Angelas
6. "TNT" ("Mr. 300%" Brandon Nitro & Johnny Dynamite) defeated NWA Arizona Heavyweight Champion "XXX" Lawrence Tyler & "Miracle" Mike James in a first round match in the NWA Arizona Tag Team Championship Tournament when Dynamite pinned XXX.

NWA Anarchy returned to NWA Arena, otherwise known as The Church of Southern Wrestling, with their final television taping prior to the 9th annual Fright Night spectacular on September 29.
It’s weird to be on the cusp of the traditional fall classic during the waning days of summer, but it beez that way in Cornelia this year. The decision was based on September being the month with five Saturdays, plus the fact that the usual late October date allows only four TV tapings to set up the major holiday show. Logical? Yes. But to paraphrase the immortal words of Tony Santarelli, Halloween without Fright Night is like a breast without a nipple. It’s just not right.
On a personal note, I absolutely hate that I'll be missing Fright Night for the time ever. Especially after last night's show. Fright Night holds a special place in my heart. It was the first big show I attended at the NWA Arena back in 1999.
Booking Fright Night was no easy task. A slew of new story directions came on the heels of Hostile Environment. The losses of Ace Rockwell (injury), Iceberg (medical) and Al Getz (quit) added unexpected complications.
There was a lot of ground to cover at last night’s show, and the Anarchy crew got the job done in fine fashion. Shatter’s first defense of the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title was announced as the main event. It’s being billed as “Godzilla vs. King Kong.” Who said Anarchy didn't have heavyweights? (my bad). It wouldn’t be Fright Night without gimmick matches. And not one of two, but three were announced last night. They also majorly ratcheted up the intrigue surrounding the tag team title situation.
The show drew the usual insanely hot crowd, 175 strong. I used to drive to Alabama for shows with that old time heat. These days, it’s awfully tough to beat the atmosphere at the NWA Arena.
Randy Hughes got off to a rough start as the new ringside announcer, a seat once occupied by Jason Martin (last seen slithering out of Cornelia with his tail tucked between his legs). He introduced Anarchy’s venerable play-by-play/ring announcer, Greg Hunter, as “Jeff Hunter.”
(1) “Skater Boy” Chris King & “Cowboy” Billy Buck beat J. T. Talent & Andrew Pendleton III in 6:03. The opener was a prime example of Anarchy waiting until talent is ready rather than rushing them into spots they can’t handle. The crowd was behind King and Buck, a gimmick clash that works in spite of itself. King shows charisma as the babyface fighting for survival from underneath. Buck’s house cleaning has improved 1000%. Talent (replacing the departed Caleb Konley) and Pendleton have also stepped up their games. The faces flustrated Talent in the early going. Pendleton hit a neckbreaker across the knee to derail King, a decisive way to start the heat. A King enzuigiri lead to the hot tag. Buck pulled the straps down and hit a butterfly sitout slam on Pendleton for a near fall. Moments later, Talent reached in and upended Buck. But while Talent was gloating over his dastardly deed, Buck rolled through for the pin on Pendleton. The crowd popped for the finish, which was nicely done.
Tony Santarelli entered the ring with a bizarro new hairstyle that drew a chant of “Emo f*g**t.” Santarelli ran down his former partner, Todd Sexton. Santarelli rewrote Fright Night history, stating that he singlehandedly beat Lost Boys. Santarelli said he was back in Anarchy because he loved the small people. Santarelli said he should be featured against the top dogs at Fright Night instead of that little oompah-loompah Wes Grissom. That brought Grissom out with a look of grim determination. Melissa Coates jumped Grissom from behind and laid him out with the Facelift. Before the duo from Deep South could inflict more damage, Sexton hit the ring and gave them a meeting of the minds. Grissom joined forces with Sexton to drive the heels out of the ring.
Sexton issued a warning about bringing that ugly, disgusting she-male into the building. Coates went nuts and had to be wrestled down the floor by Santarelli. “No, I was talking about you, Tony.” Best Sexton line ever. Monster pop. Santarelli went crazy and had to be restrained by Coates. A very entertaining segment that also had great heat. Santarelli’s mic work has been outstanding since his return to Cornelia, and physical comedy is Coates’ strong suit. She brings great energy to her character.
(2) Truitt Fields beat Jeremy Vain (with Mr. Adonis) by a count out in10:57 so Vain escaped with the NWA Anarchy Televison Title. AGAIN. Vain schooled Fields and rubbed it in. Fields exploded with his signature power offense. A head first catapult into the turnbuckle was good for a near fall. But Vain ducked a high crossbody to get the upper hand. Vain’s offense was scummy, nasty stuff. Fields had the crowd and was strong on the comebacks. He no sold Vain’s punches and the spit flew from Vain’s mouth when Fields returned the favor. Vain hit a gordbuster for a near fall. He tried to humiliate Fields. Enough was enough. Vain turned into a bumping machine. V staggered into a gorilla press slam for a near fall. Time for the Killing Fields. Vain clung to the ropes for dear life. Vain tried to exit with Adonis. Fields threw him back into the ring. Vain went to the floor with a bogus knee injury and took the 10 count.
NWA Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer confronted Vain about his fakery. “This charade is over, buddy.” Palmer said he was going to ensure that Fields got a fair title shot at Fright Night by installing four fans with leather straps at ringside. Palmer added that Adonis was barred from the building. The heels begged. Palmer said if Adonis showed up, he would get whipped like a dog.
(3) Hollywood Brunettes (Andrew Alexander & Kyle Matthews) defeated World’s Prettiest Tag Team (Seth Delay & Adrian Hawkins) via DQ when Hawkins went berserk. Brunettes advanced to the finals of the Mysterious Benefactor Tournament. Around 10 minutes. The bell never sounded to end the match for reasons that will become obvious. WP2T cleared the ring before the opening bell. Not much heat at the start, but it built throughout the match. WP2T were handing Brunettes their combined asses. Delay paid homage with a perfect Flair kneedrop. Matthews wasn’t happy about taking the tag. Delay and Matthews did some crisp reversals of the standing switch. At the six minute mark, Matthews moved and Delay crashed into the turnbuckles. Delay had his ribs heavily taped, a fact that did not go unnoticed by the Brunettes. They ripped the protective wrap off the ribs and launched a relentless assault on the vulnerable body part. Delay was agony. Alexander brought a chair into the ring and drove the edge into Delay’s ribs. Hawkins lost it. This was potentially the make-or-break moment in Hawkins’ Anarchy career, and did he ever come through. Delay blasted both Brunettes with chairshots. Referee Jacob Ashworth tried to intervene and got cracked on the top of the head with a stiff one. One of the security guys hit the ring. Bullseye. He went down like he had been hit with a ton of bricks. The crowd let loose with a thunderous chant of “Let’s go Adryan.” The refs, the security guys and Bill Behrens approached the ring. Hawkins was still wielding the chair with a crazed look in his eyes. The crowd chanted “knock them out.”
Dan Wilson led the Devil’s Rejects (Azrael & Shaun Tempers & Patrick Bentley) into the ring for a chat with Hawkins. Wilson advised Hawkins to lower his weapon, because if Rejects were there to beat him down it would have already happened. Wilson said he was the good shepard. He called Hawkins “a madman unleashed.” Wilson said if Hawkins hated humanity that much, he might be Devil’s Rejects material. He invited Hawkins to become part of a real family. “HELL NO,” said Hawkins. Wilson called Hawkins a punk and slapped him. Hawkins slugged Wilson. Azrael and Tempers retaliated with the Hellhammer on Hawkins. Slim J hit the ring. He was beaten down and left laying by Bentley’s Dark Driver. The bleacher fans chanted for blood. Powerful stuff.
Intermission. A drawing was held to select the first two fans for the strap match at Fright Night.
(4) Anger Alliance (Adam Roberts & Don Matthews) beat Derrick Driver & Steven Walters in 6:05 to earn the last spot in the finals of the Mysterious Benefactor Tournament. The babyface team worked on Roberts arm for a while. But Matthews grabbed Walters by the leg and Roberts f#cked him up with high kick. Roberts blasted Walters with gutshots. The crowd got behind Walters a bit. Roberts went for a back suplex. Walters landed on his feet and hit an enzuigiri. Both men down. Both men tagging. Driver was on fire with dropkicks, but he failed to see Matthews tag in. Matthews drilled Driver with The Lariat to score the pinfall. Driver appeared to take the finisher on his shoulder, but it should look OK on TV.
On the WRESTLEVISION, we saw Roberts and Matthews with Brandon Phoenix. Roberts said he and Matthews were the best team in Anger Alliance, and they were winning the trophy and the title shot. Matthews interrupted to say they were all on the same side. Roberts agreed and compared the Alliance to a fist. Phoenix pointed out that there were five fingers in fist and there were only four of them. Matthews came up with an arcane explanation of how the thumb didn’t count as a finger. Roberts said it was a symbol of unity and success.
Awesome Attraction (Austin Creed & Hayden Young) cut an in ring promo about their title defense at Fright Night. Creed’s belt buckle doubles as a mini electronic message board that reads “Awesome Attraction” Young said whoever won the tournament was going down, even Urban Assault. A segment of the crowd didn’t like that one bit. Phoenix and Roberts attacked Attraction. Matthews made it 3 on 2 and laid Attraction out with a double lariat. Brunettes came out. They got jumped by Urban Assault Squad. UAS helped the Attraction clear the ring.
Nemesis instigated crap with Young, like he was O.J. wanting his stuff back. Jackson and Creed got in between them, but Young and Nemesis continued to talk trash. “I will tear yo ass up,” said Nemesis. The heat for this was off the hook.
(5) Patrick Bentley (with Devil’s Rejects) beat Jesse Emerson via submission in 1:38. Bentley is exploring the depths of his character. He sat in the ring and rocked with a vacant expression on his painted face. Bentley pretty much squashed his larger opponent. Bentley teased the Dark Driver and then switched to Slim J’s finisher, the Roach Clip, to get the tap out.
Wilson cut another great promo. He said Rejects had been dissed for the last time. “Even monkeys know we sell tickets.” Wilson issued an open challenge for to Hawkins, J and whoever else they could find for a six man no DQ, no count out streetfight at Fright Night.
Attorney Jeff G. Bailey entered the ring with the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion, Shatter and “Soul Assassin” Kory Chavis. Bailey was disappointed that there was no opponent for his one man walking genocide to defend his title against at Fright Night. Bailey said that coward Mikal Judas had done nothing to earn a title shot. Bailey saved his choicest words for the “backstabbing traitor” Jeff Lewis. He challenged Lewis to a first blood match with Chavis at Fright Night. Bailey said the two naked dogs were going to be put down for the final count.
(6) Mikal Judas & Jeff Lewis beat Phil Shatter & Kory Chavis (with Jeff G. Bailey) in 10:33. This was intense, brutal and heated. The match was laid out beautifully to climax with the first direct physical confrontation between Shatter and Judas. Lewis and Judas entered separately with both getting big pops. Shatter overpowered Lewis. That dude’s strength is unreal. Judas beat up on Chavis and did a staredown with Shatter. Lewis tagged in. Shatter gave him a wicked gorilla press toss to the hardwood floor. Judas came over to protect his partner, stopping Shatter dead in his tracks. That was a first. NWA Elite beat the hell out of Lewis. Chavis nailed the Shining Wizard. Shatter hit a fallaway slam. Chavis connected with a sick knee strike for a near fall. Lewis got busted open the hardway on a shot into the post. Lewis countered the Spinesplitta with an Edge-o-matic to set up THE SHOWDOWN. Judas and Shatter traded bombs. Shatter was the first to show the effects. Judas blocked the PTSD. They cold-thingyed each other with a massive double lariat. The disfigured freak Dominous came to ringside. Judas got distracted. Shatter surprised Judas with a spinebuster. Judas gave Shatter a long-distance toss over the top rope. Shatter landed face down, a psychotic bump for a man that size. Make that any size. Shatter’s nose was busted open on impact. Chavis used a Matrix move to avoid the Kick of Death but Judas goozled him. Chokeslam straight to Hell for the 1-2-3.
Palmer announced that the main event at Fright Night would be Shatter vs. the former IWA World Champion, Judas. Bailey went crazy. Judas exited through the front door with the fans chanting his name. The show closed with the fans chanting “Jeff, Jeff, Jeff” at Lewis.
NOTES: So the Fright Night ’07 lineup is Shatter (with Bailey) vs. Judas for the heavyweight title, Rejects vs. J, Hawkins and ? in a no DQ-no count out Streetfight, 4 corners tag team elimination: Roberts & Matthews vs. Phoenix & Brodie Chase vs. Brunettes vs. UAS, the winners get a shot at Awesome Attraction later in the show, Fields vs. Vain for the TV Title in a Fan Strap Match, Lewis vs. Chavis in a First Blood Match and Santarelli & Coates vs. Grissom & Sexton…A portion of proceeds from Fright Night will go to a recovery fund for firefighter Angie Roach as well as the Muscular Dystrophy Association Judas, Shatter and Chad Parham are booked for WWE Smackdown/ECW in …Caleb Konley moved to North Carolina…Anarchy color commentator John Johnson is working on a movie screenplay… The 9/21 APW show in Royston has Jackson defending the APW Title against Talent, and Matthews & Vain vs. King & Buck for the APW tag titles…Executive Producer Kevin debuted a cool video opening for the show….All three MAXW singles titles ended up in the hands of Vain at their show in Williamston, SC on 9/15.
Rising Phoenix Wrestling 9/15/07 Results
Greg DeMarco, The Voice of Rising Phoenix Wrestling
A capacity crowd turned out for Rising Phoenix Wrestling on September 15 at the 52nd Street Armory in Phoenix. A new venue, new lights, and more new talent all combined to bring Arizona wrestling fans a night they won't soon forget.
The main event tag team grudge match between TNT (Brandon Nitro & Johnny Nitro) and NWA Arizona Heavyweight champion "XXX" Lawrence Tyler & "Miracle" Mike James became even more heated when two additional stipulations were added to the match. First, it was announced that it would be one of two first round matches in the NWA Arizona Tag Team Championship Tournament taking place that night. Second, "XXX" Lawrence Tyler accepted Brandon Nitro's challenge that if Nitro could pin the champ, he would receive another shot at Tyler's title. Tyler spent most of the match outside of the ring, only interjecting himself when he was in the least danger of being pinned by Nitro. However, it was Johnny Dynamite who scored the pinfall over LT in the end, inadvertinently eliminating Nitro's shot at the gold. The match also lead to three developments, each having a tremendous impact in their own way. RPW Commissioner acknowledged that while Lawrence Tyler did not have to defend his title against Brandon Nitro, his next challenge would come from the man who did pin him, Johnny Dynamite. As a result of their win, Nitro & Dynamite have advanced to the second round of the NWA Arizona Tag Team Title Tournament. Finally, frustrated by his team's loss, "XXX" attacked Mike James after the match, ending the partnership and friendship shared by James and the man who trained him.
In the other first round match of the NWA Tag Team Title Tournament held this evening, Dean Radford and Black Metal defeated the team of "Tough" Tony Durango and Bonzai to advance to the second round.
In a small measure of revenge stemming from their first match (which resulted in a 20 minute time limit draw), Mikey Nicholls cost The Hawaiian Lion the chance to pick up a victory in a Triple Threat Match that also included TJ Perkins. Nicholls made Perkins tap out to Lion's own ankle lock after tying up Lion's leg around the ringpost, eliminating the Arizona favorite from the match.
Complete results:
1. Dean Radford & Black Metal beat "Tough" Tony Durango & Bonzai in a first round match in the NWA Arizona Tag Team Championship tournament
2. Mayhem pinned The Navajo Warrior
3. Ryan Taylor pinned "Da Latin Terror" Don Montana
4. Mikey Nicholls made TJ Perkins tap out to an ankle lock after tying The Hawaiian Lion leg's around a ringpost to win a Triple Threat Match
5. Country Bear pinned Angelas
6. "TNT" ("Mr. 300%" Brandon Nitro & Johnny Dynamite) defeated NWA Arizona Heavyweight Champion "XXX" Lawrence Tyler & "Miracle" Mike James in a first round match in the NWA Arizona Tag Team Championship Tournament when Dynamite pinned XXX.

NWA Anarchy returned to NWA Arena, otherwise known as The Church of Southern Wrestling, with their final television taping prior to the 9th annual Fright Night spectacular on September 29.
It’s weird to be on the cusp of the traditional fall classic during the waning days of summer, but it beez that way in Cornelia this year. The decision was based on September being the month with five Saturdays, plus the fact that the usual late October date allows only four TV tapings to set up the major holiday show. Logical? Yes. But to paraphrase the immortal words of Tony Santarelli, Halloween without Fright Night is like a breast without a nipple. It’s just not right.
On a personal note, I absolutely hate that I'll be missing Fright Night for the time ever. Especially after last night's show. Fright Night holds a special place in my heart. It was the first big show I attended at the NWA Arena back in 1999.
Booking Fright Night was no easy task. A slew of new story directions came on the heels of Hostile Environment. The losses of Ace Rockwell (injury), Iceberg (medical) and Al Getz (quit) added unexpected complications.
There was a lot of ground to cover at last night’s show, and the Anarchy crew got the job done in fine fashion. Shatter’s first defense of the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title was announced as the main event. It’s being billed as “Godzilla vs. King Kong.” Who said Anarchy didn't have heavyweights? (my bad). It wouldn’t be Fright Night without gimmick matches. And not one of two, but three were announced last night. They also majorly ratcheted up the intrigue surrounding the tag team title situation.
The show drew the usual insanely hot crowd, 175 strong. I used to drive to Alabama for shows with that old time heat. These days, it’s awfully tough to beat the atmosphere at the NWA Arena.
Randy Hughes got off to a rough start as the new ringside announcer, a seat once occupied by Jason Martin (last seen slithering out of Cornelia with his tail tucked between his legs). He introduced Anarchy’s venerable play-by-play/ring announcer, Greg Hunter, as “Jeff Hunter.”
(1) “Skater Boy” Chris King & “Cowboy” Billy Buck beat J. T. Talent & Andrew Pendleton III in 6:03. The opener was a prime example of Anarchy waiting until talent is ready rather than rushing them into spots they can’t handle. The crowd was behind King and Buck, a gimmick clash that works in spite of itself. King shows charisma as the babyface fighting for survival from underneath. Buck’s house cleaning has improved 1000%. Talent (replacing the departed Caleb Konley) and Pendleton have also stepped up their games. The faces flustrated Talent in the early going. Pendleton hit a neckbreaker across the knee to derail King, a decisive way to start the heat. A King enzuigiri lead to the hot tag. Buck pulled the straps down and hit a butterfly sitout slam on Pendleton for a near fall. Moments later, Talent reached in and upended Buck. But while Talent was gloating over his dastardly deed, Buck rolled through for the pin on Pendleton. The crowd popped for the finish, which was nicely done.
Tony Santarelli entered the ring with a bizarro new hairstyle that drew a chant of “Emo f*g**t.” Santarelli ran down his former partner, Todd Sexton. Santarelli rewrote Fright Night history, stating that he singlehandedly beat Lost Boys. Santarelli said he was back in Anarchy because he loved the small people. Santarelli said he should be featured against the top dogs at Fright Night instead of that little oompah-loompah Wes Grissom. That brought Grissom out with a look of grim determination. Melissa Coates jumped Grissom from behind and laid him out with the Facelift. Before the duo from Deep South could inflict more damage, Sexton hit the ring and gave them a meeting of the minds. Grissom joined forces with Sexton to drive the heels out of the ring.
Sexton issued a warning about bringing that ugly, disgusting she-male into the building. Coates went nuts and had to be wrestled down the floor by Santarelli. “No, I was talking about you, Tony.” Best Sexton line ever. Monster pop. Santarelli went crazy and had to be restrained by Coates. A very entertaining segment that also had great heat. Santarelli’s mic work has been outstanding since his return to Cornelia, and physical comedy is Coates’ strong suit. She brings great energy to her character.
(2) Truitt Fields beat Jeremy Vain (with Mr. Adonis) by a count out in10:57 so Vain escaped with the NWA Anarchy Televison Title. AGAIN. Vain schooled Fields and rubbed it in. Fields exploded with his signature power offense. A head first catapult into the turnbuckle was good for a near fall. But Vain ducked a high crossbody to get the upper hand. Vain’s offense was scummy, nasty stuff. Fields had the crowd and was strong on the comebacks. He no sold Vain’s punches and the spit flew from Vain’s mouth when Fields returned the favor. Vain hit a gordbuster for a near fall. He tried to humiliate Fields. Enough was enough. Vain turned into a bumping machine. V staggered into a gorilla press slam for a near fall. Time for the Killing Fields. Vain clung to the ropes for dear life. Vain tried to exit with Adonis. Fields threw him back into the ring. Vain went to the floor with a bogus knee injury and took the 10 count.
NWA Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer confronted Vain about his fakery. “This charade is over, buddy.” Palmer said he was going to ensure that Fields got a fair title shot at Fright Night by installing four fans with leather straps at ringside. Palmer added that Adonis was barred from the building. The heels begged. Palmer said if Adonis showed up, he would get whipped like a dog.
(3) Hollywood Brunettes (Andrew Alexander & Kyle Matthews) defeated World’s Prettiest Tag Team (Seth Delay & Adrian Hawkins) via DQ when Hawkins went berserk. Brunettes advanced to the finals of the Mysterious Benefactor Tournament. Around 10 minutes. The bell never sounded to end the match for reasons that will become obvious. WP2T cleared the ring before the opening bell. Not much heat at the start, but it built throughout the match. WP2T were handing Brunettes their combined asses. Delay paid homage with a perfect Flair kneedrop. Matthews wasn’t happy about taking the tag. Delay and Matthews did some crisp reversals of the standing switch. At the six minute mark, Matthews moved and Delay crashed into the turnbuckles. Delay had his ribs heavily taped, a fact that did not go unnoticed by the Brunettes. They ripped the protective wrap off the ribs and launched a relentless assault on the vulnerable body part. Delay was agony. Alexander brought a chair into the ring and drove the edge into Delay’s ribs. Hawkins lost it. This was potentially the make-or-break moment in Hawkins’ Anarchy career, and did he ever come through. Delay blasted both Brunettes with chairshots. Referee Jacob Ashworth tried to intervene and got cracked on the top of the head with a stiff one. One of the security guys hit the ring. Bullseye. He went down like he had been hit with a ton of bricks. The crowd let loose with a thunderous chant of “Let’s go Adryan.” The refs, the security guys and Bill Behrens approached the ring. Hawkins was still wielding the chair with a crazed look in his eyes. The crowd chanted “knock them out.”
Dan Wilson led the Devil’s Rejects (Azrael & Shaun Tempers & Patrick Bentley) into the ring for a chat with Hawkins. Wilson advised Hawkins to lower his weapon, because if Rejects were there to beat him down it would have already happened. Wilson said he was the good shepard. He called Hawkins “a madman unleashed.” Wilson said if Hawkins hated humanity that much, he might be Devil’s Rejects material. He invited Hawkins to become part of a real family. “HELL NO,” said Hawkins. Wilson called Hawkins a punk and slapped him. Hawkins slugged Wilson. Azrael and Tempers retaliated with the Hellhammer on Hawkins. Slim J hit the ring. He was beaten down and left laying by Bentley’s Dark Driver. The bleacher fans chanted for blood. Powerful stuff.
Intermission. A drawing was held to select the first two fans for the strap match at Fright Night.
(4) Anger Alliance (Adam Roberts & Don Matthews) beat Derrick Driver & Steven Walters in 6:05 to earn the last spot in the finals of the Mysterious Benefactor Tournament. The babyface team worked on Roberts arm for a while. But Matthews grabbed Walters by the leg and Roberts f#cked him up with high kick. Roberts blasted Walters with gutshots. The crowd got behind Walters a bit. Roberts went for a back suplex. Walters landed on his feet and hit an enzuigiri. Both men down. Both men tagging.

Matthews interrupted to say they were all on the same side. Roberts agreed and compared the Alliance to a fist. Phoenix pointed out that there were five fingers in fist and there were only four of them. Matthews came up with an arcane explanation of how the thumb didn’t count as a finger. Roberts said it was a symbol of unity and success.
Awesome Attraction (Austin Creed & Hayden Young) cut an in ring promo about their title defense at Fright Night. Creed’s belt buckle doubles as a mini electronic message board that reads “Awesome Attraction” Young said whoever won the tournament was going down, even Urban Assault. A segment of the crowd didn’t like that one bit. Phoenix and Roberts attacked Attraction. Matthews made it 3 on 2 and laid Attraction out with a double lariat. Brunettes came out. They got jumped by Urban Assault Squad. UAS helped the Attraction clear the ring.
Nemesis instigated crap with Young, like he was O.J. wanting his stuff back. Jackson and Creed got in between them, but Young and Nemesis continued to talk trash. “I will tear yo ass up,” said Nemesis. The heat for this was off the hook.
(5) Patrick Bentley (with Devil’s Rejects) beat Jesse Emerson via submission in 1:38. Bentley is exploring the depths of his character. He sat in the ring and rocked with a vacant expression on his painted face. Bentley pretty much squashed his larger opponent. Bentley teased the Dark Driver and then switched to Slim J’s finisher, the Roach Clip, to get the tap out.
Wilson cut another great promo. He said Rejects had been dissed for the last time. “Even monkeys know we sell tickets.” Wilson issued an open challenge for to Hawkins, J and whoever else they could find for a six man no DQ, no count out streetfight at Fright Night.
Attorney Jeff G. Bailey entered the ring with the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion, Shatter and “Soul Assassin” Kory Chavis. Bailey was disappointed that there was no opponent for his one man walking genocide to defend his title against at Fright Night. Bailey said that coward Mikal Judas had done nothing to earn a title shot. Bailey saved his choicest words for the “backstabbing traitor” Jeff Lewis. He challenged Lewis to a first blood match with Chavis at Fright Night. Bailey said the two naked dogs were going to be put down for the final count.
(6) Mikal Judas & Jeff Lewis beat Phil Shatter & Kory Chavis (with Jeff G. Bailey) in 10:33. This was intense, brutal and heated. The match was laid out beautifully to climax with the first direct physical confrontation between Shatter and Judas. Lewis and Judas entered separately with both getting big pops. Shatter overpowered Lewis. That dude’s strength is unreal. Judas beat up on Chavis and did a staredown with Shatter. Lewis tagged in. Shatter gave him a wicked gorilla press toss to the hardwood floor. Judas came over to protect his partner, stopping Shatter dead in his tracks. That was a first. NWA Elite beat the hell out of Lewis. Chavis nailed the Shining Wizard. Shatter hit a fallaway slam. Chavis connected with a sick knee strike for a near fall. Lewis got busted open the hardway on a shot into the post. Lewis countered the Spinesplitta with an Edge-o-matic to set up THE SHOWDOWN. Judas and Shatter traded bombs. Shatter was the first to show the effects. Judas blocked the PTSD. They cold-thingyed each other with a massive double lariat. The disfigured freak Dominous came to ringside. Judas got distracted. Shatter surprised Judas with a spinebuster. Judas gave Shatter a long-distance toss over the top rope. Shatter landed face down, a psychotic bump for a man that size. Make that any size. Shatter’s nose was busted open on impact. Chavis used a Matrix move to avoid the Kick of Death but Judas goozled him. Chokeslam straight to Hell for the 1-2-3.
Palmer announced that the main event at Fright Night would be Shatter vs. the former IWA World Champion, Judas. Bailey went crazy. Judas exited through the front door with the fans chanting his name. The show closed with the fans chanting “Jeff, Jeff, Jeff” at Lewis.
NOTES: So the Fright Night ’07 lineup is Shatter (with Bailey) vs. Judas for the heavyweight title, Rejects vs. J, Hawkins and ? in a no DQ-no count out Streetfight, 4 corners tag team elimination: Roberts & Matthews vs. Phoenix & Brodie Chase vs. Brunettes vs. UAS, the winners get a shot at Awesome Attraction later in the show, Fields vs. Vain for the TV Title in a Fan Strap Match, Lewis vs. Chavis in a First Blood Match and Santarelli & Coates vs. Grissom & Sexton…A portion of proceeds from Fright Night will go to a recovery fund for firefighter Angie Roach as well as the Muscular Dystrophy Association Judas, Shatter and Chad Parham are booked for WWE Smackdown/ECW in …Caleb Konley moved to North Carolina…Anarchy color commentator John Johnson is working on a movie screenplay… The 9/21 APW show in Royston has Jackson defending the APW Title against Talent, and Matthews & Vain vs. King & Buck for the APW tag titles…Executive Producer Kevin debuted a cool video opening for the show….All three MAXW singles titles ended up in the hands of Vain at their show in Williamston, SC on 9/15.

STATE OF THE UNION #10
UIPW News for 17 Sept 2007
HEADLINES
~ Updated line-up for STATE OF SHOCK on October 6th
~ Rumors abound about November's Union Title Tournament
UPDATED LINE-UP INFORMATION FOR "STATE OF SHOCK"
The UNION of INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS returns to Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday night October 6th for an event titled "STATE OF SHOCK". The Union roster will look to thrill and amaze the hometown faithful with another evening of UIPW excitement.
Owing to previous engagements, both STEVE CORINO and PEPPER PARKS have had to withdraw from the October 6th event. Both men promise to be back at Legion Hall #101 in November as they are the first two names to have been officially granted spots in the Union Heavyweight Title tournament.
With this news, the Union's Head of Fighters Affairs, AUSTIN SHAW, has announced the new main event for STATE OF SHOCK will see "The King of Iron City Hardcore" STERLING JAMES KEENAN go one-on-one with "The Havana Pitbull" RICKY REYES. These men are not strangers to one another. Reyes, the former Ring of Honor Tag Team champion, defeated Keenan one year ago today on his way to winning the IWC Heavyweight title in a tournament in Pittsburgh and would like to accomplish something similar in Toronto. Keenan wants to avenge that loss and solidify his place in November's tournament.
Then, in a no holds barred grudge match, the first-ever Union Heavyweight champion, "The Bastard Son of 1,000 Corpses" SEBASTIAN DARK takes on the last champion of the original Union, "Fabulous" JOHN McCHESNEY. Austin Shaw has put a spot in the November Heavyweight title tournament on the line in this match and both men want to prove that they are the past, present and future of the promotion.
Also announced, high-flying Northern Lights Division stand-out RIP IMPACT fights the debuting HENTAI. Impact is already proving himself to be one of the most popular workers in the Union and he hopes to continue his winning ways against the world-traveling cruiserweight veteran known as Hentai.
6'9", 300lb EDDIE VENOM returns to the Legion Hall on October 6th. After his complete destruction of THE ALL-KNIGHTERS at "BORN AGAIN", how will "The Motor City Monster" stack up against the wily veteran presence of REGGIE MARLEY? Jamaica's gift to professional wrestling will need to bring his "A-game" to fight Detroit's newest beast but with Union fans squarely on his side, Marley is eager for the challenge.
And speaking of the All-Knighters, the usually happy-go-lucky duo was anything but after getting their tickets punched by Eddie Venom. KEVIN GRACE and ROBIN KNIGHTWING have reportedly taken a "super-duper mega-binding lifetime pinky swear agreement" to never wrestle singles matches in the Union again. It's tag team matches or nothing for the All-Knighters and they'll get their chance to shine together at 'STATE OF SHOCK".
First up on their list? MATT BURNS and ASYLUM: the tag team known as THE FLATLINERS. How will the "all-night party people" fare against the size and muscle of Burns and Asylum? Join us on October 6th to find out!
The UNION of INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS returns to Royal Canadian Legion Hall #101 in Toronto, Ontario on Saturday October 6th for "STATE OF SHOCK". Doors open at 630pm. Bell time is 7pm. The Legion Hall is located at 3850 Lake Shore Blvd West, midway between Dixie Road and Brown's Line and directly adjacent to both the Long Branch GO station and the TTC's Long Branch Loop.
Tickets are ON SALE NOW in person at the Legion Hall and online via the "UNION SHOP" at www.wrestlersunion.ca. The event is open to ALL AGES, but for those 19 and older, the Legion Hall includes a FULLY LICENSED BAR. Fans are reminded to bring valid ID and encouraged to use public transit if they plan to purchase alcohol.
THE UNION HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT IS COMING
As already mentioned, STEVE CORINO and PEPPER PARKS have already been assured their places in the Union Heavyweight title tournament being held November 3rd in Toronto. In addition, JOHN McCHESNEY and SEBASTIAN DARK will fight on October 6th for a place in the tournament. So with five more workers to be named to the tournament, the rumor mill is working overtime once again to guess the names of those fortunate few who will get a chance to become champion of the new Union.
STERLING JAMES KEENAN is an obvious choice and almost assuredly a shoe-in for a spot. His October 6th opponent, RICKY REYES, would certainly earn himself a berth win a victory of SJK. EDDIE OSBOURNE was apparently overheard bragging that he was already in the tournament, but AUSTIN SHAW has refused to confirm or deny this report. EDDIE VENOM has been spoken of very highly by Shaw on several occasions. Could the H. of F.A. be looking to add the "Motor City Monster" to the tournament mix? Where do men like REGGIE MARLEY and young sensation ETHAN PAGE stand in the title picture?
Austin Shaw has promised that fans will learn the full line-up for the tournament live and direct at October's STATE OF SHOCK event. Be there in person when the announcement is made!

PWU Diamond Anniversary Results
w/ Sandman; Red Carpet Clip; TV Debut WEDNESDAY
ProWrestlingUnplugged.com
* The night started hot with the Too Cold Scorpio Step II clinic & the Red Carpet Arrivals
From the sounds of Shovelhook to the arrivals of PWU superstars on the red carpet, PWU fans got to be up close & personal the likes of “Living Legend” Larry Winters, Justice Pain, Nikolai Volkoff, Gangrel, Sunny, Diamond Dallas Page, PWU Heavyweight champion Too Cold Scorpio (arriving on Jet Skis with The Bosom Buddies), and more of the PWU superstars and their unique arrivals, including Team PIT in convertible Corvettes, Eddie ! Kingston in a custom car from Eargasm, & even Detox on a scooter!
As PWU prepares for its TV debut on Wednesday at 8 pm on Comcast Philadelphia channel 66 and Comcast Main Line channel 98, catch exclusive Red Carpet highlights each day until Power Surge TV explodes onto Philadelphia TV.
As fans entered the building, they were warmed up by the sounds of Survival Rate Zero.
* TV Title First Round Match: Detox def. Lucky
An overconfident Lucky, who pulled off a victory against Detox in their last match was ready to shut him out again. But this time, Detox has a goal in mind – 10 lbs. o! f gold around his waist in the form of the PWU TV Title. Action packed from the beginning, Detox caught the NJ superstar with a pump handle STO after Lucky attempted to fake an injury.
* Aramis w/ “Pitbull” Gary Wolf & Annie Social def. "The New Jersey All Star" JC Ryder
One NJ Independent Superstar suffering a loss, JC Ryder wanted to stop Team PIT member Aramis from making it 0-2...but got sidetracked at first, telling the crowd Annie Social was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Aramis took exception to the comments and took a powerful control over JC Ryder the whole match, finally connecting with a Brainbuster to get the 1-2-3.
* Justice Pain stepped up to Gangrel’s open challenge & pulled off a win
With the ink barely dry on his contract, Justice Pain pulled off a victory against the legendary Gangrel using every tactic on the book to keep Gangrel off guard. But as Gangrel seemed to have the upperhand, Pain reversed the momentum and hit the Pain Thriller for the victory.
* PWU Wo! men's champion "Primetime" Amy Lee retained over British star Lexx (w/ guest referee Annie Social)
The petite Lexx attempted to out maneuver the PWU Women’s champion, but Amy Lee showed she can trade holds with the best of them. But Amy Lee’s power shone through and despite some “playful” assistance from referee Annie Social, Lexx got caught and tapped out to the Gory Stretch. But before leaving, Amy Lee told Annie Social that she’s beaten her before in under 20 seconds and next month if she can’t do it again, she’ll give up the PWU Women’s Title.
*John House Interviews Joey Mattews and his private security force – Dan Severn
After House reminded the crowd to catch him on the new PWP Live on Friday nights at 10 pm, he demanded everyone stand for a “real” TV star, the number 1 contender to the PWU Title, Joey Matthews. Matthews said he’s not worried about facing Scorpio as he brought his own! security force, Dan “The Beast” Severn.
* TV Title First Round Match: Z-Barr w/ Sunny def. "The Fabulous" John McChesney
Z-Barr, in pre match commentary, promised some Sunny skies ahead and once in the ring through the resounding boos that filled the Arena, he introduced his new manager, “The Original Diva” Sunny. But John McChesney showed how little he was impressed and took early control, even splashing Barr from the top rope on the floor. But Sunny turned the tide, stopped the count after McChesney’s frog splash, allowing Z-Barr to hit his world famous Brainbuster to advance in the TV Title Tournament.
* PWU #1 Tag Title Contenders Match: The Best Around def. The Iron Saints and All Money Is Legal
The crowd exploded for the arrival of All Money Is Legal, but the building shook with booing upon the arrival of both sets of opponents. Fast paced action was the name of the game, as each man tried to capitalize to get their chance for tag team gold. As both The Iron Saints & All Money Is Leg! al hit awesome double team maneuvers on T.B.A., they began to brawl on the outside. This gave The Best Around a count out victory over The Iron Saints & All Money Is Legal.
* TV Title First Round Match: Brandon Thomaselli def. Adam Flash
Brandon Thomaselli riled up the crowd by getting them to insult Adam Flash by asking him “Who are you?” and “What’s your name?” Thomaselli started by blindsiding Flash and took the early control, until Flash capitalized and clotheslined the boots off of Thomaselli. But as Flash later tried to go to the top, Thomaselli crotched him and connected with a Superplex. After a powerful double underhook lungblower, Thomaselli his “The Deal” and advanced in the TV Title Tournament.
* “New Batman” Johnny Kashmere & “Boy Wonder” Jimmy Kleidsdale hosted the first Batcave w/ special guest Diamond Dallas Page & turned the tables on the Commissioner Idol contest! ants
Upon Diamond Dallas Page’s arrival to a chorus of &ldquo ;DDP”, he said he was there to put the Commissioner Idol contestants through the ringer. The Commissioner Idol finalists each had 30 seconds to give their best, most “DDP-like” motivational speech. Each contestant (Dexter, Joanna, RC, The Kliq, The White Board Mafia, Loud Fan, Chris Cavanaugh, The Joker, Stephanie, and Ravenheart) did their best, but their’s only one DDP. You can vote for your PWU Commissioner at ProWrestlingUnplugged.com
* TV Title First Round Match: "The King Of Diamonds" Eddie Kingston def. "The Southern Stomper" Luke Hawx
Hawx tried to start off with a vicious onslaught, shrugged off by Kingston who capitalized by trying to knock Hawx’s head off. Hawx tried to take advantage after catching Kingston with a lucky neckbreaker, but got crotched on the top rope, allowing Kingston to continue the assault with powerful kicks and suplexes. When Hawx countered a backdrop driver, Kingston ducked a spinkick attempt, and deliv! ered a crushing spinning backfist for the win & to advance in the PWU TV Title Tournament.
* PWU #1 Contender to the PWU World Heavyweight Title: Devon Moore def "The International Superstar" Trent Acid w/ “Discount” Dewey Donovan
Both men tried to destroy each other – Trent to beat Devon down for his assault on Too Cold Scorpio last month and Devon to show he’ll do anything regain the PWU World Heavyweight Title. Powerful action that went back and forth and spilled to the outside, these two kept a strong flurry of action. But Devon pulled referee Mike Kehner in between him & Acid, knocking the ref out. Acid connects with the Yakuza Kick, but there’s no referee. Moore slid on a pair of brass knuckles to lay out Acid cold, but to play more mind games, put the knux in Acid’s shorts & drug Trent’s Arm over himself for the 1-2-3…just to point out to Kehner that Acid “cheated”, which caused a reve! rse decision.
* Pro Wrestling Unplugged Tag champions The SAT retained over The Bosom Buddies
The SAT started their assault early by slinking through the crowd to assault The Bosom Buddies. The champions kept on the attack with double teaming tactics until Drew Blood came in to clean house. But after the champs regained control, Blood made the save by holding down Teddy Fine’s feet to stop him from being hit with the Spanish Fly. But when the ref’s back was turned, Joel hit Drew with a cheapshot for the win.
* PWU World Heavyweight champion Too Cold Scorpio vs. Joey Matthews w/ Dan Severn went to a no contest
Joey Matthews started confident that with his new security Dan “The Beast” Severn, he would champion by the end of the night. But it was Scorpio who got the support of the fans, standing on their feet for his arrival. A tremendous high impact match between the two, it broke into chaos after Matthews sidestepped a dropkick from Scorpio which instead hit referee John Finnegan. Dan Severn slides in! the ring & began to beat down & choke out the champion, only to be stopped by Diamond Dallas Page, who Diamond Cuttered Severn and Matthews. But Devon Moore made his way to the ring, cleared the ring of DDP & then began to try to stomp through Scorpio’s rib cage. But when all hope was lost, the light went off in the Arena and as they came back on, Devon Moore was so flipped out, he ran out of the ring as fast as he could and away…from THE SANDMAN! After clearing the ring, Scorpio, DDP & Sandman stood with their arms raised & Sandman saying, “Damn it feels good to be home!"

Diamond Anniversary
September 15, 2007
New Alhambra Arena
Philadelphia, PA
By Art Shimko
http://www.combat-hooligans.com/
Pro Wrestling Unplugged celebrated their third anniversary Saturday
night in front of a packed house at the New Alhambra Arena, a historic
venue that has been home to many wrestling promotions since 1993.
Before the wrestling itself took place PWU held a Red Carpet ceremony in
a parking lot across from the arena which featured many of the wrestlers
performing this evening being interviewed about their matches by Johnny
Kashmere who was sporting a Batman mask.
Local rock group Shovelhook played an acoustic set that was at one point
interrupted by Joey Matthews who cut a promo on 2 Cold Scorpio who he
was wrestling for PWU world title later on.
As fans were entering the arena for the evening's Diamond Anniversary
show another local rock group Survival Rate Zero were entertaining the
crowd inside.
Show opens with a PWU music video featuring various clips and highlights
played to Pearl Jam's "Go".
