BILL BEHRENS NWA NOTES for 3-21-06
3/18 NWA Anarchy Report
By: Larry Goodman
By: Larry Goodman
In the afterglow of last week’s ultra-successful Hardcore Hell ’06, NWA Anarchy returned to action with a television taping that produced what was arguably the best match in company history.
The situation presented some serious booking challenges, and Anarchy passed the test with flying colors. The months leading into Hardcore Hell featured two popular babyfaces in hot pursuit of Anarchy’s singles titles. Both programs culminated with new champions at Hardcore Hell. It’s walking a fine line to legitimize new face champions, while ensuring that the heels are kept strong and evil. To further complicate matters, two key members of the crew were sidelined with injuries, and it’s not like Anarchy has an overly deep roster to begin with.
The show drew an amped crowd (the norm these days) of 150 to the NWA Arena in Cornelia. That was taken as a very positive sign for business. Not only had they run the building three weeks in a row, but NWA Wildside rarely drew 100 at the first taping after a major show.
(1) Slim J beat Raddick in 7:51. An impressive way to open the show. Taking time off to heal up appears to have rejuvenated J, and Raddick looked better than here than in any of his matches for Pro Wrestling Evolution (Canton, Ga). The crowd was hot for action. It was just like old times, as J controlled the action with a side headlock. Raddick caught J with his head down and went to work on the back. Raddick busted out the Romero Special (Mexican surfboard). J fired back with wild left and rights. J forced Raddick to the ropes with a modified STF. Raddick rallied with a facebuster followed by a double jump moonsault to J’s back. J flew from the top to nail an reverse DDT. Raddick kicked out of J’s delayed cover. J’s tender back couldn’t handle the load on Anger Management, so J used his spinning Ace crusher for the win.
(2) Patrick Bentley beat T. C. Carnage in 7:00. Another good match. Carnage in particular stepped up his game. The girls adore “Human Action Figure” Bentley, and that he is. Bentley capped off a flurry of flying offense with a standing dropkick for a near fall. Bentley went for one huracanrana too many, and Carnage countered with a sideslam. Carnage softened up Bentley’s back with a bearhug and hit a back suplex two count. Carnage debuted a new move that started like a uranage and ended up as a powerslam. Sweet. Carnage was toying with Bentley at this point, hitting big moves and pulling him up at the count of two. The female fans starting chanting for Bentley. Carnage charged and Bentley hit a flying crucifix out of nowhere for the pin.
(3) Skitzo beat Brett Thunder and Hector Navarro to earn a shot at the NWA Anarchy Television Title in 8:34. Texas Wrestling Academy trainer, Rudy Boy Gonzalez was at ringside. Match was typical three-way fare with Thunder, the unofficial TWA scapegoat, as the odd man out. The cooperation between Navarro and Skitzo deteriorated. You know the drill. Slower paced than the previous bouts. Poodle Attack Squad showed no patience whatsoever with these guys, as they chanted “boring” and “they all suck.” Thunder got dumped out of the ring right onto his face. Oops. Navarro hit a flying burrito on Skitzo, but Thunder hit a moonsault on Navarro. Gonzalez put Navarro’s foot on the ropes to prevent the three count. Skitzo capitalized on the ensuing confusion by rolling Thunder up with a fistful of tights.
(4) Devil’s Rejects (Tank & Azrael & Shaun Tempers & Dominous with Dan “The Dragon” Wilson) totally squashed J. T. Lamotta & Andrew Dalton & Hallowmass (Joseph & Logan) in 8:23. Lamotta was the designated whipping boy, and he absorbed a vicious beating. But it was just business as usual. I shudder to think what Rejects would do to somebody they truly disliked. Wilson brought his Staff of Righteousness into play. Azrael’s delivered some sick running knees to the face. Tank administered the most twisted Psycho Curbstomp yet. Rejects lit up his chest and back. Driving all the way from Texas to risk disfigurement is paying serious dues. Lamotta managed to hit an enzuigiri and tag out. Dominous hit a mammoth chokeslam on Dalton and Tempers covered for the 1-2-3. Postmatch, Azrael and Tank destroyed what was left of Dalton with a torture rack toss into a chokebreaker.
Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer came out to put a stop to the mayhem. Palmer was livid. Wilson said Rejects were five strong and all he saw was Palmer. Wilson was great here. “What the hell are you gonna do?” Wilson said it would be Palmer’s blood on the altar. Palmer was joined by Ace Rockwell and Brandon P. Wilson said Reject weren’t scared of them. Bentley and J showed they also had Palmer’s back. Wilson scoffed. After all, his Rejects were criminally insane. Henry Hoss, Randall Johnson and Adrian Hawkins strolled down the ramp. Big deal. When Urban Assault Squad came out, Wilson started to get concerned. Chad Parham and Hayden Young came out together with their newly won title belts, a great visual that the fans ate up. Wilson said Rejects would choose the time. “I’m the puppetmaster,” said Wilson. Palmer said it stops tonight. Wilson advised Palmer to keep his doors locked and an eye on his wife and children. Rejects slowly made their way to the back exit, as the crowd serenaded them goodbye.
(5) Hayden Young beat Skitzo (with Rudy Boy Gonzalez & Brett Thunder & Hector Navarro & Big Dogg) to retain the NWA Anarchy TV Title in 8:34 The crowd greeted their new TV champ with an explosive pop. Westbrooks came out on crutches to do television commentary. Young was firing forearms right out of the box. He hit a springboard forearm for a near fall. Young ran wild until Skitzo ducked away from a corner leg lariat. Skitzo used a baseball slide that looked anemic after watching Reject’s stuff. Young made an aerial comeback but nobody home on his top rope dive. Dogg, who ditched the blonde Afro to look like just another wrestler, tripped up Young. That brought Hoss out for another brawl to the back. They’ve done it three times now, and the crowd always gets off on it. One of the rudos pulled the ropes down. Young failed to get a grip as he flew over the top and bounced his head off the floor. God only knows how he could be OK after that. Gonzalez superkicked Young. Thunder protested his coach's tactics. Ref Ryan Michaels ordered the TWA guys to the back. Young put Skitzo away in short order with a spinning enzuigiri and that amazing Flying Squirrel splash. Good shine match. Skitzo never mounted a serious challenge despite the help from the outside.
Jeff Lewis cut a inring promo making it clear that he was setting his sights on the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title. Lewis said he had proven time and time again that he was the best wrestler on television, so he saw no reason to make it a trifecta. Now was the time to prove that he was the best in the company, the best in the world. Lewis equated Parham’s title win at Hardcore Hell to winning the Oscar. Lewis said Parham was just holding the belt until “The Feature Presentation” was ready to take it. “Because on that day, it will be your final curtain.”
Attorney Jeff G. Bailey entered the ring with Mikal Adryan and Onyx. Bailey labeled Onyx’s loss in the Posedown Challenge at Hardcore Hell as a miscarriage of justice. Bailey said Bentley did have a great body…for 98 pound weakling. Bailey claimed that his undefeated champion Adryan lost his title in a “stunt show match” due to the interference of Todd Sexton. Bailey said that Anarchy had hired Sexton as consultant with the goal of keeping his Elite down. Bailey referred to Urban Assault Squad as “NWA Anarchy’s minstrel show” and said that at least their nickname of “Concrete Gorillas” was half right. Bailey vowed that his guys would have the gold again soon.
(6) Mikal Adryan & Onyx (with Bailey) beat Urban Assault Squad (Shadow Jackson & Nemesis) in 10:24. Jeremy V and Jason Blackman, the reigning tag champs, came out to do commentary. Onyx took Nemesis to school. Onyx got cocky with the posing, and Nemesis clubbed him from behind. UAS worked on the arm. Jackson did a classic hiptoss/armdrag sequence. There’s something hilarious about seeing the dude that was formerly the most hated character in the building dig into his bag of babyface tricks. The match took a 180 degree turn when Adryan posted Nemesis’ shoulder. Onyx scored a near fall with a spinning armbar. Adryan used a divorce court. Bailey whacked Nemesis with his Gucci loafer. When referee Speedy Nelson actually caught the Elite cheating, I thought hell must be freezing over. The crowd chanted “UAS, UAS, UAS.” Flying shoulder block by Nemesis. Hot tag. The heels fed Jackson. Jackson bodyslammed Adryan for a near fall. In a moment of extremely impaired judgement, Nemesis tagged himself in. Onyx posted his shoulder again. V left his position in the announcer’s booth and whacked Nemesis’ head into the post with a belt shot. Onyx put Nemesis to sleep with Jamaica City Dreams.
(7) Chad Parham beat Milano Collection AT (with Simply Luscious) in 14:28. Milano walked his invisible dog, Mikeru into the ring. The majority of Anarchy fans weren’t familiar with Milano, but he won them over with the undeniable quality of his work. Parham got a great pop as he entered for his first title defense. They shook hands. A feeling out process started with some sweet armbar reversals. The crowd was close to 100% behind Parham. Lewis came out to watch. They went back and forth, Parham using a headlock and Milano countering with a headscissors, and the crowd was into the matwork. The first big spot came at 4:30. Parham charged at Milano, who was on the apron, and Milano brought him over the top with an armdrag. Milano hog-tied Parham to the ropes with the Paradise Lock and drilled him with a baseball slide. Parham confronted Luscious. They took it to the ring where Luscious hit a spectacular spinning headscissors. Milano covered for a two count. Milano applied a body scissors. The crowd got behind Parham, who came back with a stinging chop. From the outside, Milano used a hotshot that left Parham’s head draped over the middle rope. Milano then took a running start and launched a dropkick from the floor. Killer move. But Parham kicked out again. The crowd chanted “she’s a hootchie” at Luscious. Milano used some unique moves to work over Parham’s gut. Parham hit a high velocity airplane spin that left both men down and dizzy. They swapped chops. Parham came out on top. Parham backdropped Milano and hit an Ace crusher for a near fall. Parham applied the Texas Cloverleaf. Cool idea. Milano got a ropes break. Milano did the Matrix move and connected with an enzuigiri. Milano hit Emporio Shoe Exchange (corkscrew quebrada) for a long two count. The building was rocking. Milano charged. Parham dropped Milano in his tracks with a forearm. Parham followed with a back suplex and floated over to score a near fall. Parham stun Milano with an enzuigiri from the apron, hit a top rope double stomp and pin him clean a senton backsplash. Great match. Standing ovation for both men. They shook hands in the postmatch. I can’t imagine a better scenario for elevating Parham’s stature as champion. There was no mistaking that Parham had defeated an opponent with major league talent.
NOTES: Terry Taylor was backstage providing the wrestlers with critiques of their matches…NWA Anarchy is adding an extra show for April 29 that will be Fan Appreciation Night. The festivities will include reduced ticket prices, door prizes and other surprises…Jason Blackman will be out two to three months as result of the injury he sustained at Hardcore Hell. Blackman caught a forearm shot that broke his orbital bone in four places and required 25 stitches…Ken Westbrooks is out with a strained MCL. He’s scheduled to see the doctor again this week and hopes to back in the ring within a month…Bill Behrens was also backstage helping out with production.

Internet Show returns March 18!
(Chesterfield, Virginia) NWA Virginia's critically acclaimed internet show 'The Action Zone'" has seen some troubled times.

The zenith of the show featured over 2000 downloads for then NWA Virginia Heavyweight Champion 'Mr. Mid Atlantic' Damian Wayne losing the title to 'Heatmiser' Scotty Blaze. That episode was taped out in Sugar Grove, Virginia. The unfortunate break-in of the Promoter's house left video cameras and production equipment in shambles.
"The Action Zone" returned briefly in the latter part of 2005 and was set to be successful until the untimely and truly tragic death of the Promoter's youngest niece at the tender age of 3. "The Action Zone" went on
hiatus for obvious reasons.
Now, time has moved on. Wounds have healed. Changes have occured and "The Action Zone" is back, and it is back in a BIG way! The inaugural event features a COMPLETE show for the viewer to download, and it is a show that had people talking for weeks! 'Night of The IronMen' was taped in Ahoskie, North Carolina at the debut SPW show. It featured wrestlers from NWA Virginia, Vanguard Championship Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling Mid Atlantic.
The main event featured a non-title match between NWA Virginia Heavyweight Champion 'Mr. Mid-Atlantic' Damian Wayne and Vanguard Heavyweight Champion 'The Dynasty" Sean Denny. All of the matches were
taped, and they are now available for viewing on NWA Virginia's 'ACTION ZONE'. To view 'The Action Zone', go to http://www.nwavirginia.com/, click on the multi-media link. If you have high speed internet click on High Speed and if you have Dial Up, click on the Dial Up icon.

A Battle Royal where the winner will face the NWA Virginia Heavyweight Champion in a follow-up episode.
The NWA North American Tag Team Championship will also be a corner stone of "The Action Zone". Since winning the North American straps in Roanoke, Drake Tungsten and Bad News Johnson, known as 'United Nations of Devestation', have been on a tear, and have feuded with teams like The Xtreme Outlaws, Alexx Sage & former North American Tag Team Champion 'High Flying' Chris Escobar, and Iron Cross and Wrestling Evangelist.

Both of these men are grand slam champions, and this is sure to be a hotly contested match between two fan favorites. Which man will walk away with the gold around their waist?

BIGG & NIKITA ALLANOV
987's Devin Devine & Chris Taylor managed to become champions using every dirty trick in the book, but will they be able to hang on to those titles when they come face to face with the "Stab Master Arsonist" and the "Soviet Shooter"? Allanov has vowed that he and his partner will not stop until they have taken the tag team championship from 987 - will they be successful in their quest on Saturday March 25th, or will Devin & Taylor continue the "Clean Sweep", and retain the championship of the most competitive tag team division in the NWA today?
THREE RIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
"Sexual Icon" ERIC EXTASY
defends the title against
“Screaming Climax” DIRK CIGLAR
Eric Extasy has proven to be a dominant Three Rivers Champion, but 987 is after the gold, and if there is one thing that Dirk Ciglar knows, it is being the Three Rivers Champion, as he has twice held that title before. Will the "Sexual Icon" have what it takes to stop the "Screaming Climax", or will Dirk Ciglar continue on the warpath in his return to PWX?
Bouts already announced for this card include...
NWA-PWX HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
"#1" DARON SMYTHE

“Spotlight” SCOTTIE GASH
Rage's Scottie Gash finally gets what he has been after since October - a shot at the most prestigious regional championship in the NWA today! Gash went thru thirty men to win this title shot in the 'Burgh Brawl, and waiting for him on Saturday March 25th is the current champion, the popular Daron Smythe. Will "#1" continue his title reign, or will the "Spotlight" get back what he says belongs to him - the NWA-PWX Heavyweight Championship.

and
QB BLITZZ
Crusher Hansen wants gold, and Brass Knuckles Champion Sam Slej has it. Scott Venom has stated that 987 intends to walk away from the March 25th card with three titles in the fold, which means that the "Hammer" of the Tri Chi Fraternity has a target on his head. But, will Slej have help in defending his title from his tag team partner QB Blitzz, or will the temptation for a singles championship of his own be too much for Blitzz, whose hopes of recapturing tag team glory with his partner seem to fade away more and more each day...
More of your favorite NWA Pro Wrestling Express competitors will be in action, including PAUL ATLAS, JUSTIN IDOL, Rage's QUINN MAGNUM & MAD MIKE and "First Klass" BRANDON K, Apocalypse members DEVIL BHUDAKAHN, JAKE GARRETT, ARMAGEDDON, and more!!!

'BURGH BRAWL HISTORY
The 2005 'Burgh Brawl was the 10th Anniversary of the event, which has grown to become one of the most popular cards on the NWA Pro Wrestling Express calendar each year. The annual battle royal has become one of the most popular events in Pittsburgh wrestling, and has become the longest running annual wrestling event in the region! With ten years of tradition behind one of the most unpredictable matches in wrestling, lets take a look back at the history behind the ‘Burgh Brawl!
The first ‘Burgh Brawl was held at the Wrestleplex in North Versailles, PA on July 20, 1996. The PWX Heavyweight Championship was vacated due to an injury to champion Vince “Charming” Kaplack. PWX Promoter Jim Miller ruled that the championship would be filled in a rumble-style elimination battle royal which featured twenty of the top competitors in the area. The Wrong Crowd’s “Bad Boy” Brian Anthony outlasted the competition to capture his first PWX Heavyweight Championship at the Wresleplex in North Versailles, PA. Anthony would go on to hold that championship three times during his career.
B94 morning radio personality Bubba the Bulldog had become one of the most hated and controversial competitors in Pittsburgh wrestling. The leader of the Dogpound managed to outlast 20 other competitors in the second year of the event, held at the in Mount Oliver VFD in Pittsburgh, PA.
PWX’s first ‘Burgh Brawl held under the banner of the National Wrestling Alliance, was won by “Golden Boy” Denny Gregory in 1998. The victory saw Gregory earn a shot at Quinn Magnum’s Heavyweight Championship – starting the tradition of the winner receiving a shot at the area’s most prestigious championship. Gregory would come up short in his title shot.
January 1999's Brawl saw Big Poppa Gator win, with an assist from his 987 partners Boomer Payne and JB Destiny, who eliminated themselves when the trio became the final three competitors in the match. Gator would go on to defeat Samu for the PWX Heavyweight Championship, after a bitter feud that stretched to April of that year.
In 2000 Boomer Payne pulled out the ‘Burgh Brawl win, earning a shot against PWX Heavyweight Champion Vince Kaplack, the last time the event was held at the Wrestleplex. Payne would claim to be involved in a car accident just before his title match against Kaplack, but it just was a ploy between Payne and Crusher Hansen to injure the champion. Payne however, was not able to capture the championship, although the injuries suffered by Kaplack did result in Race Steele winning the championship from Kaplack shortly thereafter. Kaplack was sidelined for a few months, and actually announced his retirement.
2001 saw “Stab Master Arsonist” Bigg win the ‘Burgh Brawl and the title shot against his tag team partner Triple Crown Champion Brandon K at McKeesport’s Sportatorium on September 8, 2001. Bigg, the acting commissioner of the promotion, put a bounty on the head of Dirk Ciglar in this match – with whoever eliminated him receiving the vacant Three Rivers Championship. Ciglar ended up eliminating himself from the match, thus outsmarting Bigg and getting the Three Rivers Championship. Bigg was forced to face K in a title match, but the match quickly turned into a debacle intended to draw Quinn Magnum into a fight.
Bigg became the only man to win the ‘Burgh Brawl twice, also pulling out the win on February 16, 2002. This time the “Stab Master Arsonist” got a shot at Quinn Magnum's NWA North American Championship, but came up short in his title shot. The 2002 ‘Burgh Brawl also saw the introduction of the stipulation that any titleholder that competed in the match would defend their championship against the competitor that eliminated them. This led to the Three Rivers, Tag Team and Triple Jeopardy titles all changing hands that night.
2003 saw Heavyweight Champion Crusher Hansen injured at the hands of his “New Era” stablemates. Promoter Jim Miller ruled, on the advice of his intern Devin Devine, to strip Hansen of the championship, with the winner of ‘Burgh Brawl winning the championship. Scottie Gash appeared on the verge of winning his first ‘Burgh Brawl, with his New Era Stablemates at ringside, and only tag team specialist Rapture of Armageddon left in the ring. Rapture removed his mask to reveal Hansen, who quickly dumped Gash and was awarded a championship he never lost.
2004’s ‘Burgh Brawl saw Mad Mike win the match on February 28th, by last eliminating his tag team partner in Rage, Quinn Magnum. Mike earned a title match against Nikita Allanov, who defeated Justin Idol for the Heavyweight Championship earlier on the card. Mike would go on to defeat Allanov, winning his second heavyweight championship, and becoming the first man to win the Heavyweight Championship with the title shot earned by winning 'Burgh Brawl.
2005 saw reigning Three Rivers Champion Chris Taylor win the ‘Burgh Brawl on February 19th, becoming the first competitor weighing in at less than 200 lbs. to win the match. Taylor earned a shot at Heavyweight Champion Devin Devine, who dominated the Heavyweight Championship for a majority of the previous year. Taylor came up short in his match with Devine, but the match was later revealed to be only a setup by Devine, Taylor and Tag Team Champions Da Munchies, for their stable to hold on to their respective championships.
Scottie Gash won the 2006 'Burgh Brawl on March 10th, last eliminating Scott Venom, with a distraction from ringside by JB Destiny. Will Gash become only the second man to capture the NWA Pro Wrestling Express Heavyweight Championship with the title shot earned in 'Burgh Brawl? Will Daron Smythe be ready for the challenge of Gash, who in the past year has not only held the championship, but won the 'Burgh Brawl and the Mendez Memorial Tournament?
