This gave The Best Around a count out victory over The Iron Saints & All Money Is Legal.

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
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".
Nikolai Volkoff comes out to the ring and sings the National Anthem, he
seemed to forget some of the words and didn't finish the song, crowd
didn't know what to really make of this but it was an interesting idea
and surreal to hear him sing the National Anthem.
1) PWU TV Title Tournament - Match #1
Detox vs Lucky of The New Jersey Independent All Stars
Lucky comes out and tears a fan's sign who then replaces it with one
that reads "You're Still A Jobber", Lucky wasn't too happy with that
one. Lucky gets the early advantage striking away at Detox, gets cocky
about it while Detox goes for a pin only to get a two-count. Lucky hits
a standing moonsault and goes for a pin, gets another two-count. Lucky
scoops up Detox, has him upside down and throws Detox hard into the
corner. Lucky climbs to the top turnbuckle and falls back and gets his
knee caught in the top rope, referee Mike Kehner checks on Lucky who
then superkicks Detox but he catches Lucky's boot and hits a pumphandle
slam for the win.
2) JC Ryder vs Aramis w/Gary Wolfe and Annie Social
Ryder's eyeing up Annie saying she's a beautiful girl and girls who look
as good as her are from New Jersey, this gets "Jersey Sucks" chants and
some people around me didn't take too kindly to that chant. Ryder
immediately beats on Aramis cornering him with chops then trips him into
the bottom turnbuckle taking control of the match but only gets a
two-count for his first pin attempt. Ryder then flirts with Annie,
Aramis hits a brainbuster on Ryder and gets the pin. Afterwards Aramis
holds up Ryder while Annie slaps the hell out of him.
3) Special Challenge match: Justice Pain vs Gangrel
Former CZW wrestler Justice Pain makes his debut this evening accepting
former WWE wrestler Gangrel's open challenge. Pain goes for the early
advantage but Gangrel quickly takes control cornering Pain with a
beating and goes for a pin but only gets a two-count. Pain hits a
belly-to-belly on Gangrel and follows up with some punches and kicks.
Gangrel heads out the ring and Pain dives out the ring onto Gangrel,
after some fighting outside the ring both wrestlers are back in, Pain
brings a chair but the ref takes it away. Gangrel gets the chair and
goes for Pain in the corner with a chairshot and misses, Pain hits the
Pain Thriller on Gangrel and gets the pinfall for his first win as a PWU
wrestler.
4) PWU Women's title match
Amy Lee (champ) w/Dr. Bootz vs Lexx - referee: Annie Social
Lexx is a cutie, Lee comes out and throws her belt in the ring hitting
Annie's head. Match was at a slow pace, Lexx was making an effort to get
as much offense on Lee but didn't have much luck. Lee wins with a Gory
stretch for the submission win, Lee then cuts a promo on Annie who
wouldn't raise her hand for the victory, she challenges Annie next month
and she accepts. Lee's jawjacking with a fan in the front row making fun
of his teeth and clothes.
John House comes out to the ring and interviews Joey Matthews on his
match later on, the last time I saw Matthews in this building was his
last match in 3PW against Chris Sabin. A few fans and myself recalled
the early days when Matthews was aligned with Special K in Ring Of
Honor. Matthews at first puts over the Philadelphia fans then says he
realizes that they're disrespectful. Matthews brings out his enforcer
for the main event, Dan "The Beast" Severn! Severn assures Matthews
he'll watch his back during the match.
PWU returns to the New Alhambra Arena on 10/27 featuring Brutus
Beefcake, Larry Zbyszko and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.
5) 1) PWU TV Title Tournament - Match #2
Z-Barr w/Sunny vs John McChesney
First off I couldn't believe how hot Sunny looked, Z-Barr attacks
McChesney from behind following his chops and headbutts. McChesney
fights back and superkicks him out the ring then gets on the top rope
and hits a splash onto Z-Barr. Back in the ring McChesney corners
Z-Barr, hits a dropkick and follows with a Northern Lights suplex.
Another dropkick, McChesney goes for the pin but gets a two-count,
Z-Barr kicks McChesney out of the ring and Sunny works on him. McChesney
back in the ring gets a Bossman slam from Z-Barr, goes for the pin only
with a two-count. Both men exchange vicious chops, McChesney hits a
frogsplash and goes for a pin as Sunny distracts the ref. Z-Barr gets
McChesney with a brainbuster for the win.
6) Number one contender's match for the PWU Tag Team titles
The Best Around (TJ Cannon and Bruce Maxwell) vs The Iron Saints (Sal
and Vito Thomaselli) vs All Money Is Legal (K-Murda and K-Push)
TJ and Vito start off, lots of action with various tag partners coming
in, TBA takes control beating on Murda then the Saints run in tossing
TBA out the ring and continuing the beatdown on Murda. Pusha tags in
getting revenge on the Saints, TBA back in and AMIL work on them also,
Saints come back beating on AMIL. It's craziness as all teams are
beating on each other, AMIL and the Saints take out TBA and then both
AMIL and the Saints end up outside the ring fighting. The ref counts
both teams out and The Best Around become the #1 contenders for the tag
titles. The AMIL/Saints feud is far from over.
INTERMISSION
7) PWU TV Title Tournament - Match #3
Brandon Thomaselli vs Adam Flash
When the ring announcer is about to say Flash's name the mic cuts out,
Flash gets mad and grabs the mic to say his name but again the mic cuts
out. When Thomaselli grabs the mic it works fine, there are fans with
signs featuring different versions of Flash's name, he's not amused.
Thomaselli gets control early on getting Flash in a headlock then a
chokehold, drops an elbow for a quick pin attempt but only gets a
two-count. Flash hits a spinebuster and gains control cornering
Thomaselli with elbows and hits a facebuster from the top rope but only
another two-count. Flash on the top turnbuckle, Thomaselli hits a
superplex leaving both men lying on the mat. Both men are up, Thomaselli
hits a double underhook lungblower followed by "The Deal" (Thomaselli
pulls Flash face-first down into his knees) for the victory.
Johnny Kashmere (in a Batman mask) and Jimmy Clydesdale (as Robin) debut
their "Batcave" segment by bringing out special guest Diamond Dallas
Page. They have contestants in the ring for the PWU Commissioner Idol
contest where a PWU fan wins a spot as the promotion's commissioner.
Each contestant gives a 30-second promo on why they would make a great
commissioner. Voting for the winner takes place at

Clydesdale tossing packs of Batman cards to the crowd.

the crowd and attack the Buddies from behind. Both teams fight outside

continue brawling outside, Drew helps his partner double team Joel. SAT

some mat wrestling as both men counter each other's moves, they go for a

a pinfall without any luck. Scorpio now in control elbowing Matthews who
then sends him out of the ring with an elbow strike of his own. Back in
the ring Scorpio takes punishment from Matthews delivering a lariat
followed by a sleeper hold, Scorpio grabs the ropes and the hold is
broken. Scorpio hits a gord buster, Matthews on the top turnbuckle and

figures probably not... but in fact it is the Sandman! And the crowd
pops like crazy! Moore, Matthews and Severn escape as DDP, Scorpio and
Sandman celebrate in the ring, Todd Gordon comes to the ring as well.
Crowd chants "Welcome back!" to which Sandman replies, "Damn, it feels
