Hostile Environment '06: NWA Anarchy Rules
By: Larry Goodman <[email protected]
NWA Anarchy’s summer spectacular produced a War Games destined to go down as a hardcore classic. Hostile Environment was the show of the year in
The annual War Games match is always a highlight on the wrestling calendar in Cornelia, but this year’s edition was one for the ages. It’s a rare thing indeed, to see a pro wrestling match with violence of this magnitude and a storyline that justified every blood-drenched, stomach-churning moment of it.
With a crowd in the neighborhood of 225, Hostile Environment wasn’t a complete sellout, but it was close enough to produce an insane level of heat, the likes of which I rarely experienced 20 years ago, much less in 2006. It’s been over 5 years, back to the days when Wildside was a WCW development territory and A. J. Styles and Suicidal Tendencies were on top, since wrestling in Cornelia has consistently drawn crowds at this level.
Bill Behrens opened the show by honoring retiring cameraman Joe Roland. The crowd gave Roland a standing ovation.
The crowd popped like mad for the appearance of Team Anarchy. They made a rowdy color guard for the serviceman carrying the
(1) Hayden Young defeated Jason Blackman in 6:45. Young was the Anarchy TV champion when he pulled the rug out from under his title reign by moving to
Postmatch, Jeremy V nailed Young with a wheelbarrow suplex. The former NWA Anarchy tag team champions hit their finisher to leave Young laying. The ref brigade came out to help Young, but he was able to leave under his own power.
(2) Seth Delay & Patrick Bently beat
It was time for the Alabamians to take their licks, but Carnage clocked ref Speedy Nelson and it was Bently that was tasting leather. Bently hulked up. Delay pulled Carnage out. Bently picked up the strap and Roberts ran away. Security blocked Carnage’s exit. Carnage chose to expose his back and take it like a man, five blasts with the strap, each one branding Carnage with another ugly red welt. Number four literally exploded on impact. Carnage’s back was destroyed. The way he hung in there has the makings of a possible babyface turn.
(3) Sal Rinauro beat Onyx (with Jeff G. Bailey) in 10 seconds flat. Leading up to the show, Onyx had destroyed everyone in his path with a full nelson, including two submission wins over Rinauro. Bailey got Rinauro’s attention Onyx to pull Rinauro into the ring with the Masterlock already cinched in. Rinauro countered with a victory roll from a standing position to score the flash pin. The crowd loved it.
Onyx put Rinauro out with the full nelson in the postmatch. Bailey slapped Sal’s face. Kory Chavis made an unadvertised appearance at ringside. Chavis told Onyx he had lost his share of matches at the NWA Arena but not a one of them in under 20 seconds. “You ain’t broke a sweat, homeboy,” said Chavis. That lead to…
(4) Kory Chavis beat Onyx (with Bailey) in 13:26. The show had been hell-on-wheels up until this point. They changed it up and worked a more deliberate style. Onyx ordered Chavis to hit the ropes. Garden variety shoulder blocks didn’t make a dent in the Genetic Specimen, but Chavis popped the crowd with a flying version that put Onyx on the deck. The crowd popped for it, aChavis popped the crowd with flying version that did the trick. Onyx took a TO for a consult with Bailey. Chavis stomped Bailey’s fingers. Chavis used a monkey flip to outmaneuver Onyx on the test of strength. Chavis applied a hammerlock. Onyx backed Chavis into the corner and elbowed him in the mush on the break. Onyx attacked with a mix of high impact moves and nefarious heel tactics. Onyx hit a rude Angry Man Slam for a near fall. Onyx dumped Chavis so Bailey could do his dirty work. The crowd broke into staccato clapping, as Onyx went to a ground attack. At 11:30, Chavis hit the Spinesplitta. Both men down for a seven count. They traded. Onyx tried to apply the full nelson while sitting on the turnbuckle, but Chavis blocked it. Onyx got the full nelson squarely in the middle of the ring. Chavis kicked off the ropes and landed on top of Onyx, pinning his shoulders to the mat.
Onyx refused to relinquish the hold. Chavis was lapsing into unconsciousness. Rinauro hit the ring with a steel chair to make the save. The crowd chanted “Bailey sucks” and then in moment Rinauro will cherish forever, they chanted “Saved by the Sal.” Rinauro raised Chavis hand for one last pop heading into the break.
Intermission.
(5) Brandon Phoenix defeated Adrian Hawkins to retain the NWA Anarchy Television Title in 11:32.. This wasn’t as heated as the rest of the show. Fans were settling in and saving up for the fireworks that lie ahead.
(6) Jeff Lewis (with Jeff G. Bailey) defeated
Parham was really hot at Sexton after the match. It was the most animated facial expressions I’ve ever seen out of the usually stoic Parham. This is going to get interesting.
Footage from the Q & A held earlier in the day played on the Wrestlevision while they set up the cage. The footage depicted the members of Team Anarchy cutting an unending stream of promos to build up the War Games.
(7) Team Anarchy (Ace Rockwell & Slim J & Shadow Jackson & Nemesis) beat Devil’s Rejects (Tank & Iceberg & Azrael & Slim J with Dan Wilson & Dominous) in the War Games (23:12). This match ruled. It rocked. It tore the m##### f###### house down. They bled buckets. The level of violence was sick. The injury toll included at least two concussions (Azrael and J) and a serious back injury (Iceberg). The crazy part was that it all made sense because the fans totally bought into what was at stake. Rejects had run roughshod over the Anarchy guys, inflicting massive injuries and threatening to destroy the company. Emotions hadn’t run this high since the War Games of 2003 (Team Wildside defeated Team Elite. Rick Michaels got five minutes with Bailey).
From this point on, this show was as close to perfection as pro wrestling gets. Television announcer Greg Hunter reviewed the stipulations: If Rejects won, Palmer would turn the keys to Anarchy over to the devil incarnate, Dan Wilson. If Team Anarchy prevailed, Palmer would get five minutes with
(8) Dan Wilson versus Jerry Palmer never got started. Palmer had
Sexton issued the order to call for an ambulance. The members of Team Anarchy looked grief stricken.
A full team of paramedics arrived on the scene. They examined Palmer’s back and put him in a cervical collar before loading him up on the stretcher. Some fans at ringside were sobbing. A hushed crowd looked on as Palmer was stretchered out of the building and into the waiting ambulance. Nemesis started going off when he saw Palmer being put in the ambulance.
In a scene from pro wrestling in the 70s, fans were waiting at

Billy Firehawk Dead at Age Forty
William J. “Billy Firehawk” Hawkins III died at 6:10 PM EDT from complications of diabetes at a hospital in his native
“Hawk” loved the pro wrestling industry. He manifested that love by creating Cyberspace Wrestling; a company that became an affiliate NWA promotion in
Professional wrestling overflows with controversy. Hawk thrived on it, finding it amusing and motivational. He built NWA Cyberspace to be an extension of his eclectic personality. A promotion that was heavy in top shelf talent but also nurtured the up and coming. He was tremendously loyal to those he believed were loyal to him. His generosity to those in his employ is legendary.
There were no phony “demons” in Billy Firehawk’s life. No dependence on illegal drugs or overindulgence in alcohol. Just the “world’s biggest teenager” having fun getting his belt signed by wrestlers he idolized and doing those in-ring promos we all kidded him about.
Wrestling is a make-believe industry. It is built on falsehoods going down to its roots. Works, angles, kayefabe, there is little reality inside the world of pro wrestling. But death is real. No Grim Reaper gimmick, no Undertaker bell-tolling or any of the other quasi-morbid promoter-generated creations. Now, there exists an empty chair next to the Hawkins family fireplace. A crying child wondering why her father was taken from her so early in his and her life. A grieving widow left to bury the man she loved and settle his affairs. Death is not virtual reality – it is reality in the truest meaning of the word.
NWA Shockwave is Billy Firehawk’s dream. It is what he wanted. And he shall not be disappointed. His dream will go on. His legacy will be refreshed every time the opening bell sounds.
There can be no better memorial.

New Texas Champion Mark Orton
A new NWA Texas Heavyweight champion was crowned JUly 15, when Mark Orton
pulled a stunning upset pinning the much bigger and 6-time champion Kevin
Northcutt at the National Guard Armory in Beaumont, Texas
Northcutt who had held the belt since April 18, 2005, approached NWA
Southwest promoter Ken Taylor that he wanted to be signed to a title rematch
within the next 90 days.
"I lost fair and square and make no excuses," said a gracious but somber
Northcutt. "I did not bring my A game, but make no mistake I will win the
belt back. Every dog has its day and Mark Orton got his 15 minutes tonight
so he better enjoy it as long as he can because the next time we meet I will
be the 7-time
Mark Orton, an 8-year veteran mostly in Texas and Louisiana, wore as part of
his wrestling attire an NWA TRADITION jersey top, said he dreamed as a kid
one day of being the NWA Texas Heavyweight champion and now his dream
finally came true. " It is an honor and beating a great champion like Kevin
Northcutt moves you right up the rankings fast. It took eight years to get
this point, but it's all worth it when you can snap the Texas Champion belt
across your waist."
