BILL BEHRENS NWA NOTES for 9-19-05
NEAR-RIOT ERUPTS IN MEXICO CITY DURING APPEARANCE BY NWA WORLD CHAMPION JEFF JARRETT
Security and police called in to escort Jarrett out of arena
Security and police called in to escort Jarrett out of arena
The El Toreo arena in Mexico City nearly erupted in a full-scale riot on Sunday night during an appearance by NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett.
During the main event of the huge AAA "Verano de Escandalo" show in front of over 20,000 spectators, police and extra security had to be called in after fans rushed the ring and threw hundreds of projectiles at Jarrett.
In a total show of disrespect, Jarrett mocked the Mexican spectators and their culture during an in-ring interview. Fans began pelting the star with bolts and rocks, at which point Jarrett further instigated the crowd by throwing tortillas back at them.
Fearing for his safety, Jarrett escaped the deluge and left the ring surrounded by a crowd of police and security. The NWA World Heavyweight Champion was hurried away in a waiting car and escorted back to his hotel by police.
The incident is the second time the World Champion has caused a near-riot at the arena. The first occurred in 2004 during a AAA event.
Jarrett was scheduled to return to Nashville on Monday morning on the first flight out of Mexico City.

Wildside TV Classics 309- Cross vs. Rave, Styles
By: Larry Goodman <
Dan “The Dragon” Wilson and Steven Prazak introduced this week’s show. If it wasn’t a repeat of last week’s opening segment, then doing over 200 of the freaking things has robbed them of every last shred of originality.
The segments on this weeks show came from episodes 107-109 and originally aired in October 2001.
His body may have been busted up in a million pieces but that hadn’t dampened New Jack’s enthusiasm for cutting a badass promo, one that draws on his twisted emotions and elicits a visceral response, the kind they used to do in Memphis, the kind that used to make people spend money because they had to see the match.
This was shot outside Morris Brown College when New Jack went to his alma mater to accept an achievement award from the NWA in a halftime ceremony (Jack played defensive back for the school during his college days). Contradictions abound. Standing before us was a college graduate and convicted felon, a well dressed black man with a mass of gig marks and scar tissue covering his forehead.
Tommy Rich, I hope the money Bill Behrens gave is worth showing up October 27 at the Globe on Memorial Drive in Atlanta. I hope it is because you’re going to need every last dime of it when I get through doing what I’m gonna do to you. You see, when I think back, I think about the days with me and you runnin’ up and down the road in ECW. I think about me and you chasing women around in the bars. I think about me and you going back to the room and getting drunk and just nutty, you know what I’m sayin’? And I cherish memories like that. But when you get the nerve to let somebody talk you into comin’ to a building, standing across the ring looking at me, talkin’ about you wanna fight me? Then, son, I take that personal. Now everybody gonna give you your props. Tommy Rich, once upon a time, was the NWA world heavyweight champion. Tommy, gas was 10 cent a gallon then. It don’t mean nuthin’ to me. I don’t give you nuthin’ but one promise. I’ll beat yo’ ass beyond recognition when you come to the Globe. Bring them snotty nose kids of yours, bring that wife of yours, and bring all them bastards in your family (to) watch what I do to you. You see, winning and losin’ is like don’t mean nothing to me. I don’t care if you pin me 1-2-3. Don’t mean jack to me. What will mean something to me, is when I stick a fork in your head and split it open to the white meat. Then you will understand that I’m on a mission. I’m gonna hurt you Tommy and don’t take it personal. Trust me. When you leave Globe that night, if you wake up in Grady Hospital or if you don’t wake up, remember why it happened. You can blame Bill Behrens for this because you was dumb enough to get your ass in the ring with me and I'm fool enough to take you out. Your ass is mine on the 27th. Tommy Rich, count the days.
Rich no-showed the match.
Next up was a promo by G-Rated, Kid Kool and Kid Xtasy aka Salvatore Rinauro. Juvenile stuff but then Kool was still in high school at the time and Rinauro wasn’t far from it. They ran down the teams that comprised Wildside’s tag team division: Slim J and Mike Pittman, The Kohl Twins, They got into an argument over which one had bigger feet. “And you know what that means…big shoes. And remember the G stands for good looking.”
The definitive Fright Night promo featured the Lost Boys. This was artsy stuff for a wrestling show and faintly reminiscent of a vintage ECW promo for raw power. It was a brief slow-motion clip shot set to the music from Stanley Kubrick's “Eyes Wide Shut.” We saw Lost Boys writing on a cinder block wall. Azrael turned towards the camera, revealing that his face was dripping in blood (this was shot directly following a match where Azrael ended up on the wrong end of a barbed wire baseball bat). The camera moved in for close up of the letters T N T scrawled in blood.
T-N-T responded with a promo shot at the same location. Tony Stradlin said the stalking tactics and the mind games by Lost Boys weren't going to work. Todd Sexton said they had enough of the Rocky Horror Show bull #####. He said they weren't scared, they were just pissed off. Sexton splattered a drink on the wall to wash away the Lost Boys’ ominous message.
(1) G-Rated (Kid Xtasy & Kid Kool) beat Lost Boys (Azrael & Gabriel) and T-N-T (Todd Sexton & Tony Stradlin) on a count out (10:15). The match got off to a rowdy ass start as Lost Boys and T-N-T waging all out war at ringside while totally ignoring G-Rated. G-Rated did stereo planchas that landed in another zip code from their opponents. Pure slapstick. It settled into a semi-normal tag match. T-N-T beat G-Rated to a pulp and taunted Lost Boys by extending G-Rated’s hands without allowing the tag. Gabriel finally tagged in via a punch to Sexton's face. Lost Boys used a wicked combo move where Azrael gave Xtasy a wheelbarrow facebuster on the floor while Gabriel gave him a legdrop off the apron. Prazak started the eulogy. Kool dragged Xtasy limp body across the ring so he could tag himself in. Gabriel put Kool in an elevated full nelson and Azrael plastered him with a dropkick. Lost Boys proceeded to destroy Kool, forcing T-N-T to save him from being pinned. Lost Boys draped Kool over the top rope and gave him a missile head sandwich. Kool managed a blind tag and Xtasy caught Gabriel in the back of the head with a dropkick. Xtasy debuted the Chalupa Crunch (a variant of the rocker dropper) on Gabriel. G-Rated gave Gabriel a double flatliner. Gabriel rolled away from Kool’s flying squirrel splash. Both men tagging. Stradlin countered Xtasy's handspring back elbow with a full nelson, but Xtasy countered that with a spinning headscissors. Sweet sequence there. Nobody home on Xtasy’s guillotine legdrop. T-N-T planted Xtasy with the X Bomb. As T-N-T went to double on Kool, Lost Boys gored the both of them. G-Rated then decked Lost Boys with tandem superkicks. Sexton flattened Kool with the Gamebreaker, while Lost Boys laid Xtasy out with the Time Warp. Each team broke up the other team’s pin attempt. The action spilled out of the ring. As Lost Boys and T-N-T continued to beat their collective brains in, G-Rated crawled back in the ring to beat the count. G-Rated were still laying flat on their faces when the bell rang. Referee Andrew Thomas raised their hands. The elation of the moment took over. Prazak said it looked like they were trying to procreate with referee Andrew Thomas.
Comments: This was a pretty cool way to get G-Rated their first television win. Lost Boys and T-N-T were engaged in a heated feud that culminated in a showdown at Fright Night ‘01. Nobody was taking G-Rated seriously. They were two small kids being booked as a comedy act. Think of them as a precursor to Ring Crew Express in ROH. Even with the comedy finish, G-Rated at least got offense against the top level teams and started to turn the corner towards respectability.
"The most phenomenal athlete in pro wrestling" A. J. Styles and "the genetic freak of Wildside" Onyx cut a promo. Wilson said they had been "robbed, rooked and crooked" by the NWA Elite. Styles was just beginning to develop the persona he brought to TNA. Neither one are great promo guys now, but they’re both a hell of lot better than they were at this stage of the game.
(2) A. J. Styles & Onyx beat Adam Jacobs & J. C. Dazz (with Jeff G. Bailey and Big Business Brown) in a no DQ match (15:15). Styles and Dazz came tumbling down the ramp to open the match. Styles gave Dazz a short arm clothesline. Onyx entered holding Jacobs aloft in a military press and deposited him in the ring The technicos were killing the rudos with double teams. But Jacobs pulled Styles out of the ring and nailed him with a superkick while on the inside, Dazz caught Onyx with a tornado DDT. The action moved to the outside. Styles and Onyx did a stereo dives over the rail. Dazz powerbombed Styles into the fence used for cage matches. Onyx gave Jacobs a backdrop off a four foot packing crate and splattered Dazz and Styles. Cut to the hardcam for a shot of Onyx playing to the crowd. Coming out of a commercial break, Styles and Onyx were back inside the ring, doubling on Dazz. Jacobs landed a slingshot guillotine legdrop on Styles. The action moved out to the floor again. Styles did a flip dive over the rail onto a seated Dazz and inadvertenly smashed his head into the concession stand. Onyx superkicked a chair into Jacobs’ face. Jacobs missed a moonsault and Onyx covered for two. Dazz took over on Onyx. Cut to Jacobs and Styles fighting in what left of the ringside seats. Styles speared Jacobs into a storage cabinet. Styles gave Jacobs a sick sounding Russian legsweep into the cabinet leaving a fresh dent where Jacobs’ head made contact. Back inside the ring, they ran off an amazing series of big moves for near falls. Styles hit a frogsplash on Dazz, but Jacobs did a slingshot dive over the top rope to make the save. Jacobs used his patented baseball slide dropkick on Styles, who was hung in the tree of woe. Onyx saved with a legdrop off the middle rope. The Elite had Styles positioned for a Dazzinator but Onyx broke it up. Styles blocked a tornado DDT by Jacobs and countered with the Clash on a steel chair. Dazz saved again. Dazz used a uranage full nelson slam on Styles but Onyx speared Dazz. Styles went to the top for the shooting star press, but Dazz heaved Big Biz's briefcase at him to knock him off balance. Jacobs hit his Georgia Bulldog finisher (top rope legdrop). Jacobs showboated before making the cover and Onyx powered out. Styles gave Dazz a brainbuster. He was too far gone to close the deal quickly and Dazz kicked out. Brown was poised to blast Onyx with the briefcase. But Onyx cut Brown off and clocked him with the case. Onyx gave Jacobs a spinning DDT on the briefcase for the pin.
Comments: This wild brawling spotfest is a real gem. And while it was an amazing match in its own right, but the heat took it to another level. Who said Wildside’s audio never did justice to the crowd noise? (That would be me.) The heat here was crazy. For creativity in the ring and the talent to pull it off, Wildside was moving into their peak period. Watching this match was a stunning reminder of how the promotion generally toned things down over the last couple of years. It was either that or end up with a trail of broken bodies like ECW. Few workers could have survived for long doing the type of matches shown on this episode.
(3) Jason Cross (with Jeff G. Bailey) beat Jimmy Rave in 8:57. Rave emerged from a scramble on the mat with a pinning combination. Rave did a pair of Japanese armdrags. Cross hooked the ropes but Rave clotheslined him over the top. Rave dove off the apron. Cross teased a (Styles) Clash on the floor, but Rave managed to reverse it into a huracanrana. Cross took a flip bump into the guardrail. Back inside, Rave did a flying bodypress for a two count. Cross leveled Rave with a superkick to turn the match around. Cross dumped Rave and followed him out with an insane shooting star press on the hardwood. Back in the ring, Cross cut off Rave’s comeback with a reverse enzuigiri. Cross scored with kicks. Rave came back with knife-edge chops and hard slaps. Cross did a reverse suplex into the Last Rites for a near fall. Rave fired back. Cross spun out Rave’s hjptoss attempt to hit a bulldog for a near fall. Cross dumped Rave and Bailey put the Gucci loafer to him. Cross did a legdrop off the apron.Cross scored with a double underhook rocker dropper and pulled Rave up at the count of two. Cross tried to finish it in spectacular fashion with a corkscrew 450 splash. It missed. Rave fired back with some great looking punches. Rave connected with a high leg lariat. Cross tried another A. J. Styles move, where he moonsaults off his opponent’s chest and follows up with a lariat, but Rave had it scouted and clotheslined Cross. Cross halted a series of back and forth pinning combinations with a donkey kick to the groin. Rave surprised Cross with a Northern lights suplex for a two count. Rave hit the Gravity Killer (tornado DDT). The intro music for J. C. Dazz kicked in. Dazz appeared on the ramp and did a staredown with Rave. Dazz slid into the ring on his belly, but Rave slid him right out the other side to the floor. Cross capitalized on the distraction by hitting the Clash to get the pin.
Comments: This was their first (only?) meeting on Wildside television. At this point, Cross was doing the deal where he was ripping off A. J. Styles’ “Role Model” gimmick. In so doing, Cross was using a moveset that involved a ridiculous level of risk. Combine that with the selling and fiery comebacks that put Rave in the top tier of Wildside babyfaces and this was one hot match. If anything, the match exceeded expectations, as the objective was to advance the program between Rave and Dazz. Dazz had defeated Rave for the Junior title at the Globe show in September. Rave regained the title at Fright Night ’01 in a four-way TLC match that was one of the best matches in the history of the company.
9/17 NWA Anarchy Report
By: Larry Goodman
By: Larry Goodman
NWA Anarchy gave their loyal fans another entertaining show last night. If there was any justice in the world of pro wrestling, Anarchy would be drawing better crowds than 70 paid.
Props to the creative team (and it is indeed a team effort) on the booking of the recent shows. An advantage of not taping two hours of TV is being better able to build the momentum of the show from beginning to end. The promotion is building up a good head of steam as it heads into the 7th annual Fright Night extravaganza on October 29.
John Johnson and Al Getz did a live “pre-game show” that focused on a match that had been three months in the making, a taped fist match between Slim J and Jeremy V. The stip was brought about by V’s constant use of brass knucks. A pretaped promo by Slim J aired on the videotron. That brought V out to ringside looking like the devil incarnate. V said he was going to kick J’s ass and lay him out again.
(1) Ken Westbrooks beat Chris Jordison in 4:29. The best singles match I’ve seen out of Westbrooks. Jordison is a small black wrestler who hung upside down in the corner while he waited for the opening bell. Westbrooks was suplexing the little guy all over the place until Jordison blocked an overhead suplex and hit a tornado DDT. But Jordison missed a swanton bomb and an undetermined flippy move. Westbrooks won it with a belly-to-belly suplex off the middle rope. Impressive finisher.
(2) Three Guys That Totally Rule (“Precious” Patrick Bentley & Seth Delay with Salvatore Rinauro) beat Heath Miller & Randall Johnson in 9:07. This match had about as much heat as anything on the card. Bentley may be small but he’s got an action figure physique. The precious one went to the middle rope to gain a leverage advantage in the test of strength and got dropped on his face. Miller and Johnson made quick tags as they worked on the arm of PBB. They did the old school deal where Rinauro interfered with a pumphandle on Johnson’s arm and then “accidentally” ended up doing it to Bentley’s arm. Rinauro slowly came to that realization when he saw the opposing team standing at ringside laughing. Delay turned the tide with a beautifully timed leapfrog into a spinning flying forearm on Johnson. Johnson fought out of a triple team in the corner, but Delay cut him down with a stiff dropkick to the jaw. Delay was feeling it. After taking a sound thrashing, Johnson hit a swinging neckbreaker. Miller came in hot. Miller catapulted Delay into a missile dropkick by Johnson that was an airball. Delay pulled the ropes down to dump Miller. Delay and Bentley hit a wheelbarrow/rib crusher combo to score the pinfall on Johnson. Rinauro gave his men a good misting with Bentley’s spray bottle in the postmatch.
Brandon P entered the ring to face a mystery opponent. He turned toward the Videotron. And waited. And waited. Finally, we heard another message from that eerie voice while some hypnotic nonsense played on the big screen. The voice said he was a Judas. P had to stand there like a complete fool until he was attacked from behind by Azrael. That lead to…
(3) Brandon P beat Azrael via DQ at 4:23 due to Jeremy V’s outside interference. Azrael gave P a stiff forearm upside the head and a couple more the back. Azrael went for a some type of cutthroat move but P countered with a lariat. P rallied but not for long, as Azrael responded with strikes that were wicked stiff. P hit a spinning back suplex that left both men down for a count of five. P hit an exploder suplex. V knocked P off his perch on the top turnbuckle and Nelson called for the bell. This was just OK. For P’s offense to look good against heavyweights, he needs opponents who bump and sell big.
J ran out to save P from the wrath of V and Azrael. J potatoed Azrael bigtime. But V ducked one and J’s punch connected with the ringpost. V immediately put the security rail to good use in an attempt to mangle J’s right wrist. The plot thickens.
It was time for the contract signing for the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title match at Fright Night. Al Getz and Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer were in the ring to monitor the proceedings. Onyx came out first. Attorney Jeff G. Bailey paused to unbutton his suit jacket before entering the ring with Mikal Adryan. Fans broke out the “o-ver-ra-ted” chant at Adryan. There was an air of mistrust as Onyx and Adryan took their seats at the table. Getz reminded everyone that there would be no violence (ha ha). He said the last time Onyx and Adryan squared off in this very ring, almost 2 years ago, the roles were reversed. Onyx said he was back for only one reason, the gold. Onyx said he made Adryan tap the last time and he was going to do it again.
Bailey grabbed the mic and cut his best promo since Wildside morphed into Anarchy. Bailey said that was another world a long, long time ago. Bailey said Adryan was unbeaten in an Anarchy ring. In fact, Adryan had beaten BioHazard right out of the business. “Does he still wrestle anymore?” Bailey said he paid Alabama Attitude good money to take Onyx out, and they had him “swinging like a hammock” the last time. Onyx started to get up. Bailey told him to stay in his seat. Bailey said he found the solution to The Onyx Problem a long time ago and it was Adryan. Bailey ran Onyx down until he couldn’t take anymore. Onyx got in Bailey’s face. Bailey told Getz to do something. Adryan clubbed Onyx. Bailey ordered Adryan to put Onyx through the table. Getz threatened a suspension. Adryan picked Onyx up. Getz threatened a $1000 fine. “Put him down. We’re not paying any money,” said Bailey. Adryan beat Onyx down. Bailey said Onyx was zero competition. “You’re nothing, Onyx. NOTHING.” Onyx wouldn’t stay down for long. He ripped his shirt off and charged up the ramp. NOTE: Getz said he got the contract signed backstage.
(4) Todd Sexton beat Gabriel in 7:07. This was a great combination brawl/submission battle. Sexton attacked Gabriel on the ramp. A ringside brawl ensued. Gabriel got shoved off the rail and did a cool cat-like maneuver where he jumped onto the concession stand and jumped back onto the rail to launch a springboard lariat. Gabriel then did a double stomp to Sexton’s back off the elevated announcer’s booth. The action moved inside the ring. Gabriel covered but Sexton got a foot on the ropes. Sexton took a high-speed flip bump into the buckles for a near fall. Gabriel gave Sexton the back suplex bounce for a near fall. Sexton got the Sexton Stretch out of nowhere. Gabriel refused to tap. They went to the outside again. Sexton headbutted Gabriel and they were both knocked silly. Back inside, Sexton applied the Anaconda Vise but Gabriel made the ropes. Gabriel applied a figure four leglock around the ringpost. Sexton tapped but ref Brent Wiley ruled that it wasn’t a legal hold. Gabriel locked on the sharpshooter. Good struggle for the ropes here with Sexton making it after being pulled back to the center. Gabriel took a bump off the apron and ate the guard rail. Sexton pulled the ringsteps out to the middle of the floor so everyone could get a good view of the devastation that was to follow. Sexton drove Gabriel’s head into the top of the ringsteps with a sick piledriver. Sexton rolled Gabriel into the ring. 1..2..3.
Referees Wiley, Speedy Nelson and Ryan Michaels all got involved in an attempt to prevent Sexton from inflicting further damage on Gabriel’s limp body. Sexton emptied his nostrils onto Gabriel before departing. Gabriel was still in the ring as the fans filed out for intermission.
Ring announcer Nigel Sherrod (subbing for Greg Hunter) read a statement from Andrew Alexander. Alexander said he was unable to wrestle tonight because he strained his vocal chords in a karaoke competition and was sending Will Platinum to take his place.
(5) Urban Assault Squad (Shadow Jackson & Nemesis) decimated Stryknyn & Will Platinum in 5:33. UAS were way over as usual. They gave the jibronis a good squashing. Nemesis’ knockdown chops were really effective, as Stryknyn did a great job selling them. Nemesis tossed Stryknyn into his corner to allow a tag. Platinum wanted Jackson. Jackson destroyed Platinum with a sitout chokeslam and a gorilla press power slam. UAS sent Platinum flying into his corner with a press slam. Jackson no sold Strynkyn’s offense. Nemesis hit a spinning fireman’s carry slam and pulled Strynyn up at two. UAS gave both jobbers combination DDTs and stacked them up for a double pin.
(6) Jeff Lewis beat Salvatore Rinauro to retain the World TV Title in 11:23. It was easy to see why Rinauro has earned a spot with ROH. Rinauro said the only thing that could make his abs look better was a title belt around his waist. Ostensibly, this was heel vs. heel. But other things being equal, fans are going to make the cooler guy the face. They kept it clean with chain wrestling in the opening minutes. Rinauro did a sunset flip where he pulled Lewis’ trunks down. Lewis got pissed when he realized his ass was hanging out and charged in, all impulse and no brains. Rinauro caught Lewis with a flurry. But Lewis got his knees up on Rinauro’s twisting flying bodypress. Lewis choked off Rinauro’s air supply. Nice build on Rinauro’s comebacks. Lewis hit a tornado reverse DDT to set up the Final Curtain. No dice. Rinauro slipped on a springboard lariat but made contact. They both cheated on pin attempts. Lewis cheated twice. Rinauro hit Pass the Courvoisier for a very close near fall. Delay and Bentley came to ringside. Rinauro motioned them to go back to the dressing room. Lewis used the extra time to recover. Lewis went for the Final Curtain. Rinauro escaped again, but the third time was the charm. Rinauro was inconsolable about the loss. Those Deep South guys should take a look at this to learn how to put a match together.
(7) Alabama Attitude (Adam Roberts & T. C. Carnage) beat Rainman & Jay Fury to retain the NWA Anarchy tag team titles in 11:48. Roberts took serious punishment throughout the early part of the match. Rainman and Fury’s double teams looked especially good for guys that have not been paired together. Rainman does the style of offense they’re teaching in Deep South except he does it better than most of their guys. Carnage had to start making saves. Roberts blocked an up-and-over by Fury, hit a waterwheel slam, and dropped an elbow for a two count. Fury came back with a flying bodypress and was prevented from making the tag. Roberts applied several variations of the surfboard. Carnage got Fury in an inverted Gori Special, and Fury neatly countered with a rolling cradle near fall. Carnage cut him off with a lariat. Carnage taunted Rainman. Fury did the Jaytrix into the Enzifury. Both down for seven and going for tags. Rainman muscled Roberts into a stunner for a near fall. Rainman hit the Spinesplitta for another near fall. It broke down to four way action. Roberts ducked an Enzifury. The Alabamians immediately hit the Attitude Adjustment and Fury was toast. Fury wasn’t the legal man but what the hell. Good build to the hot tag. Good execution on the finishing sequence. Solid match.
(8) Slim J defeated Jeremy V in a taped fist match (16:24). Some fine storytelling here. J came out with his right wrist giving him fits as a result of V’s skullduggery, so V had effectively neutralized J’s punching power before the match even got underway. J used his aerial attack to take control, scoring near falls with a flying reverse DDT and a flying headscissors. J fired left-handed punches. V did kneedrops to J’s bad wrist. V banged J’s head into the rail a few times. V tried to post J’s wrist but the ref Speedy Nelson blocked it. J gave V a one finger salute with his right hand and wailed away with the left. V did more kneedrops to the wrist. V unraveled the J’s protective tape and choked him with it. V bit J’s fingers. V jackhammered J’s head with his taped fist. J made the lefty comeback building to a lariat knockdown. J jumped on V’s back, but V slammed him on his wrist. J rallied with a flying forearm off the top. Nelson got bumped. V laid J out with the VKO and the VDT. No ref to count so V did his own 1-2-3. V pulled out a set of knucks. J bit V’s wrist to make him release his grip on the knucks. V hit a missile dropkick and J barely kicked out. V complained to Nelson. Neither one saw J put the knucks on. Lights out for V.
NOTES: Announced for 10/1: Adryan vs. Nemesis for the heavyweight title, Lewis defends the TV title against Vordell Walker in his Anarchy debut, Onyx vs. Sexton, Skeeter Frost vs. Nick Halen with chairs legal, Krazy K & Dexter Poindexter vs. Kool & Delay and more…Bill Behrens was in the house and appeared to be in good spirits.

Bailey grabbed the mic and cut his best promo since Wildside morphed into Anarchy. Bailey said that was another world a long, long time ago. Bailey said Adryan was unbeaten in an Anarchy ring. In fact, Adryan had beaten BioHazard right out of the business. “Does he still wrestle anymore?” Bailey said he paid Alabama Attitude good money to take Onyx out, and they had him “swinging like a hammock” the last time. Onyx started to get up. Bailey told him to stay in his seat. Bailey said he found the solution to The Onyx Problem a long time ago and it was Adryan. Bailey ran Onyx down until he couldn’t take anymore. Onyx got in Bailey’s face. Bailey told Getz to do something. Adryan clubbed Onyx. Bailey ordered Adryan to put Onyx through the table. Getz threatened a suspension. Adryan picked Onyx up. Getz threatened a $1000 fine. “Put him down. We’re not paying any money,” said Bailey. Adryan beat Onyx down. Bailey said Onyx was zero competition. “You’re nothing, Onyx. NOTHING.” Onyx wouldn’t stay down for long. He ripped his shirt off and charged up the ramp. NOTE: Getz said he got the contract signed backstage.
(4) Todd Sexton beat Gabriel in 7:07. This was a great combination brawl/submission battle. Sexton attacked Gabriel on the ramp. A ringside brawl ensued. Gabriel got shoved off the rail and did a cool cat-like maneuver where he jumped onto the concession stand and jumped back onto the rail to launch a springboard lariat. Gabriel then did a double stomp to Sexton’s back off the elevated announcer’s booth. The action moved inside the ring. Gabriel covered but Sexton got a foot on the ropes. Sexton took a high-speed flip bump into the buckles for a near fall. Gabriel gave Sexton the back suplex bounce for a near fall. Sexton got the Sexton Stretch out of nowhere. Gabriel refused to tap. They went to the outside again. Sexton headbutted Gabriel and they were both knocked silly. Back inside, Sexton applied the Anaconda Vise but Gabriel made the ropes. Gabriel applied a figure four leglock around the ringpost. Sexton tapped but ref Brent Wiley ruled that it wasn’t a legal hold. Gabriel locked on the sharpshooter. Good struggle for the ropes here with Sexton making it after being pulled back to the center. Gabriel took a bump off the apron and ate the guard rail. Sexton pulled the ringsteps out to the middle of the floor so everyone could get a good view of the devastation that was to follow. Sexton drove Gabriel’s head into the top of the ringsteps with a sick piledriver. Sexton rolled Gabriel into the ring. 1..2..3.
Referees Wiley, Speedy Nelson and Ryan Michaels all got involved in an attempt to prevent Sexton from inflicting further damage on Gabriel’s limp body. Sexton emptied his nostrils onto Gabriel before departing. Gabriel was still in the ring as the fans filed out for intermission.
Ring announcer Nigel Sherrod (subbing for Greg Hunter) read a statement from Andrew Alexander. Alexander said he was unable to wrestle tonight because he strained his vocal chords in a karaoke competition and was sending Will Platinum to take his place.
(5) Urban Assault Squad (Shadow Jackson & Nemesis) decimated Stryknyn & Will Platinum in 5:33. UAS were way over as usual. They gave the jibronis a good squashing. Nemesis’ knockdown chops were really effective, as Stryknyn did a great job selling them. Nemesis tossed Stryknyn into his corner to allow a tag. Platinum wanted Jackson. Jackson destroyed Platinum with a sitout chokeslam and a gorilla press power slam. UAS sent Platinum flying into his corner with a press slam. Jackson no sold Strynkyn’s offense. Nemesis hit a spinning fireman’s carry slam and pulled Strynyn up at two. UAS gave both jobbers combination DDTs and stacked them up for a double pin.
(6) Jeff Lewis beat Salvatore Rinauro to retain the World TV Title in 11:23. It was easy to see why Rinauro has earned a spot with ROH. Rinauro said the only thing that could make his abs look better was a title belt around his waist. Ostensibly, this was heel vs. heel. But other things being equal, fans are going to make the cooler guy the face. They kept it clean with chain wrestling in the opening minutes. Rinauro did a sunset flip where he pulled Lewis’ trunks down. Lewis got pissed when he realized his ass was hanging out and charged in, all impulse and no brains. Rinauro caught Lewis with a flurry. But Lewis got his knees up on Rinauro’s twisting flying bodypress. Lewis choked off Rinauro’s air supply. Nice build on Rinauro’s comebacks. Lewis hit a tornado reverse DDT to set up the Final Curtain. No dice. Rinauro slipped on a springboard lariat but made contact. They both cheated on pin attempts. Lewis cheated twice. Rinauro hit Pass the Courvoisier for a very close near fall. Delay and Bentley came to ringside. Rinauro motioned them to go back to the dressing room. Lewis used the extra time to recover. Lewis went for the Final Curtain. Rinauro escaped again, but the third time was the charm. Rinauro was inconsolable about the loss. Those Deep South guys should take a look at this to learn how to put a match together.
(7) Alabama Attitude (Adam Roberts & T. C. Carnage) beat Rainman & Jay Fury to retain the NWA Anarchy tag team titles in 11:48. Roberts took serious punishment throughout the early part of the match. Rainman and Fury’s double teams looked especially good for guys that have not been paired together. Rainman does the style of offense they’re teaching in Deep South except he does it better than most of their guys. Carnage had to start making saves. Roberts blocked an up-and-over by Fury, hit a waterwheel slam, and dropped an elbow for a two count. Fury came back with a flying bodypress and was prevented from making the tag. Roberts applied several variations of the surfboard. Carnage got Fury in an inverted Gori Special, and Fury neatly countered with a rolling cradle near fall. Carnage cut him off with a lariat. Carnage taunted Rainman. Fury did the Jaytrix into the Enzifury. Both down for seven and going for tags. Rainman muscled Roberts into a stunner for a near fall. Rainman hit the Spinesplitta for another near fall. It broke down to four way action. Roberts ducked an Enzifury. The Alabamians immediately hit the Attitude Adjustment and Fury was toast. Fury wasn’t the legal man but what the hell. Good build to the hot tag. Good execution on the finishing sequence. Solid match.
(8) Slim J defeated Jeremy V in a taped fist match (16:24). Some fine storytelling here. J came out with his right wrist giving him fits as a result of V’s skullduggery, so V had effectively neutralized J’s punching power before the match even got underway. J used his aerial attack to take control, scoring near falls with a flying reverse DDT and a flying headscissors. J fired left-handed punches. V did kneedrops to J’s bad wrist. V banged J’s head into the rail a few times. V tried to post J’s wrist but the ref Speedy Nelson blocked it. J gave V a one finger salute with his right hand and wailed away with the left. V did more kneedrops to the wrist. V unraveled the J’s protective tape and choked him with it. V bit J’s fingers. V jackhammered J’s head with his taped fist. J made the lefty comeback building to a lariat knockdown. J jumped on V’s back, but V slammed him on his wrist. J rallied with a flying forearm off the top. Nelson got bumped. V laid J out with the VKO and the VDT. No ref to count so V did his own 1-2-3. V pulled out a set of knucks. J bit V’s wrist to make him release his grip on the knucks. V hit a missile dropkick and J barely kicked out. V complained to Nelson. Neither one saw J put the knucks on. Lights out for V.

SHOW NEWS & NOTES
NWA Pro Wrestling Express celebrated the company's 11th
Anniversary with a show that completely blew the roof off of the
Sportatorium, and already has had a lot of fans buzzing about what is
to come in the fall for the promotion. Attendance was admittedly not
as high as last years' 10th Anniversary card, but with heavy
competition in town this night, it was still a great standing room
only crowd in the building.
The show started off with Dan Miles taking on Dash Bennett. If
Miles lost,. he had to be Bennett's servant for 60 days; if Bennett
lost he was going to get a haircut. Miles scored the big win on
Bennett after hitting what seems to be his pet move, a Sliced Bread
#2. Afterwards Miles tangled Bennett up in between the top two ropes,
and just started taking chunks out of his hair with the clippers,
before Bennett got free and hightailed it to the lockerroom.
Bigg got a measure of revenge over Seth James and manager BC
Steele with a nice win. James was in control of Bigg for most of the
match but when the "Stab Master Arsonist" started to come back Steele
got involved at ringside. As Steele kept Bigg's attention James went
to nail Bigg from behind, but Bigg moved and Steele went down. Bigg
then nailed James with a Pumphandle Slam to get the pinfall.
Daron Smythe finally got his match against BC Steele's charge
Devil Bhudakahn. Although Smythe wanted a piece of both men, he would
have to settle only for Bhudakahn, as Bhudakahn publicly fired Steele
right before the bell rang. This was a great back and forth match
that saw referee Harold Potter taken out from a clothesline by
Bhudakahn. As Smythe hit his Yakuza kick to put Bhudakahn down CJ
Sensation ran in from the concession area and nailed Smythe with a
pair of brass knuckles. Bhudakahn then nailed Smythe with a bridged
Father Nelson Suplex to get the win, and afterwards former tag team
partners Bhudakahn and Sensation celebrated with a beatdown of Smythe.
Devin Devine was back in the company of gold after stealing a win
from Nikita Allanov to win the Brass Knuckles Title. Allanov
announced before the match that to keep Devine from weaseling his way
out of the match that it would be "anything goes". Allanov quickly
went after Devine's back. Devine made a comeback after a hotshot, and
went after Allanov's recently broken wrist. Devine tried to get a
chair involved but Allanov managed to turn the tables and nail a
Russian Sickle on Devine and the chair, which busted Devine open a bit
and caused Allanov to really mess his arm up. Devine pounced on the
injured arm, but couldn't get the Russian to quit. Allanov battled
back and hit a Sickle, but there was not a lot behind it and Devine
kicked out. Allanov tried to hook in his chokehold, but the weak arm
kept it from cinching in, allowing time for Crusher Hansen to nail
Allanov from behind with a chair. Devin quickly made a half hearted
cover and got the pin and the title.
NWA-PWX Tag Team Champions Da Munchies and BC Steele were out
next, and they said that they couldn't pass up wrestling on the
anniversary show, and they just had to get their hands on someone,
anyone who would fight them for the titles. But, since no one stepped
up, they said they would instead fight anyone in the building.
Brandon K and Quinn Magnum, who had been fired at the last event by
Scott Venom and Damian Stockholm, rushed the ring and a match was on.
K took both Trimmins and Hassan down with a big dive to the outside,
and then Magnum began brawling with Trimmins on the outside. K got
Sheiky back in the ring and was working him over. The match broke
down into a normal tag match for a little while with Trimmins & Hassan
taking out Magnum's legs and working them over, but K was right back
in the thick of things making the save for his partner. The match
broke down again with Hassan working over K in the ring, and Trimmins
chopping Magnum down on the outside. Trimmins went up to hit his Big
Dick Splash on K, but Magnum caught his foot and crotched him on the
top rope. K hoisted Hassan up for an impressive K-Driver, but Hassan
kicked out and was then met by the 357 Magnum. K quickly hit a diving
headbutt and got the pin. After the match Scott Venom came out and
said that this was a complete joke because he fired both of these men,
but referee Shawn Patrick just handed them the belts, and Magnum & K
left with them thru the front door of the Sportatorium.
After intermission a still steaming Scott Venom was back out to
confront the Tri Chi Fraternity, who were accompanied by Trish. Venom
said that if they thought that he was going to pick Brant as his
partner, they were stupid, and brought out his partner for the match -
Paul Atlas! Venom and Atlas worked over Hammer for most of the match,
but the big man finally battled back and made the tag to Blitzz, who
started to completely clean house. Hammer went back to the apron and
was quickly met by Devil Bhudakahn, who was ordering the team of
Armageddon to take him out. Rapture and Revelation beat down Hammer
on the outside, which distracted Blitzz long enough for Atlas to nail
him with a DDT, and get the win for his team. After the match Atlas
got the mic and said he was back, and he was pissed off.
Next up was the Three Rivers Title match, with Justin Idol
challenging Eric Extasy. Earlier in the show's "Club Extasy" segment,
Idol hijacked the show to announce he was adding a valet, a returning
Jazzmyn Viktoria. Extasy finally responded to Idol's goading by
coming out, and a brawl erupted. The match picked up right where that
segment left off, and the two were going at it fast and furious. In
what had to be considered a surprise, Extasy was outwrestling Idol,
which led to Idol cementing his status as a rulebreaker by getting a
chair and bringing it into the ring. Idol busted Extasy wide open,
but still could not get a pinfall. Idol brought a table into the
ring, but Extasy battled back and went for a big Powerbomb thru the
table, but Idol sandbagged Extasy, and grabbed the chair off the
canvas, and threw it into Extasy's face. Idol then proceeded to take
Extasy apart with the chair, but still couldn't get the pinfall. A
very frustrated Idol went up top and hit his frog splash, but as he
made the cover Extasy rolled him over and got the pinfall out of
nowhere to hang on to the title. Extasy couldn't even stand after the
match, so Krystal Frost helped him up, but Idol got a bat from his
ring jacket and went to town on Extasy. Frost tried to stop him, but
Viktoria gave her a DDT and she was down too.
The main event was next, and it was the first ever meeting in an
NWA ring between Chris Taylor and NWA-PWX Heavyweight Champion Scottie
Gash. This match was a very smooth wrestling match, with Gash going
for his Spotlight drop early, and Taylor, who had Scott Venom as his
second, going for the diamondcutter. This was a great back and forth
match, with both men pulling out all the stops. Taylor nailed Gash
with a diamond cutter after about 10 minutes, and appeared to have won
the match, but as he made the three count Shawn Patrick caught Taylor
holding the ropes for leverage. Taylor started to celebrate, but
Patrick ordered the match restrated, and gash fired up on Taylor.
Taylor wet up top and was going for a tornado DDT on Gash, but Gash
blocked it and climbed the ropes. Taylor tried to escape and Gash
hoisted him up and gave him a massive powerbomb thru the table left at
ringside from the previous match. Both men were slow to get up, but
Gash finally made a cover in the ring on Taylor, who kicked out. Gash
went for a Spotlight Drop, but Taylor countered it into a
Diamondcutter, which Gash blocked, and took Taylor down into a
crossface submission. Taylor held out, but finally tapped out, and
Gash retained the title. Devin Devine, Justin Idol, and Crusher
Hansen hit the ring and started to pound on Gash, but Quinn Magnum,
Boomer Payne and Brandon K made the save, and Devine, Idol, Taylor,
Venom and Hansen bailed out. Gash, Magnum, K and Payne stood tall in
the ring, when out of nowhere Payne hit Gash with a Dishonorable
Discharge. Magnum and K had no clue what Payne was up to, and they
started to fight, but everyone was quickly back in the ring and it was
6-on-3. Payne, who was already wearing a "987" shirt, motioned to the
others, who all took off their shirts, to reveal 987 shirts
underneath. Payne said that 987 was back, and no one could do
anything to stop them. Scott venom then got the mic and said that he
fired them all two weeks ago, and now he was going to do it again, and
he didn't care if they all had titles, he wanted them gone, and no one
was going to do anything to stop him. Suddenly Mad Mike's music hit,
and the crowd popped, but it quickly went off and venom said that that
was a hilarious joke by the sound guy, but that Mike was not in the
building and that he was retired. The music hit again and this time
Mad Mike came out, and the crowd went completely wild as he cleaned
house. 987 bailed to the outside, and Mike, Magnum, Gash and K were
left in the ring. Venom continued to go off on the mic, but PWX
promoter and NWA Member Jim Miller came to ringside and told him to
shut the hell up. Miller told Venom that he thought he might have
stroke around here, but he didn't know anything, and pointed at the
ring and said you can't fire there guys. Miller then walked to the
back with the microphone and said that he has made a lot of mistakes
while promoting shows, and he had often let the wrong people have his
ear. He said he was going to correct that mistake right now, and came
back thru the curtain with a sack, and started tossing out t-shirts to
the men in the ring. Miller said he had been waiting a long time for
this, and this time he knew which side was right, as the four men in
the ring donned RAGE t-shirts!!! The crowd erupted and started
chanting "Rage" as the two groups stood off. Mad Mike got the mic and
said that he didn't come all the way back to the ring on the
anniversary show just to cut a promo, and he wanted a piece of Crusher
Hansen right now. Hansen got the mic and said that 987 was in the
house, and that if Mike wanted to play with fire, he was going to get
burned - referencing when Mike had his career ended by Boomer Payne
when he was sent thru a flaming table. Hansen and Mike went at it and
the crowd continued to chant "Rage", and was louder then the
Sportatorium had been in years. Hansen managed to fend off Mike, but
after Mike hit a big clothesline 987 hit the ring, and Rage followed
and a brawl once again broke out. The lockerroom partially emptied
and the brawl raged on for a few minutes until Rage stood alone in the
ring together. The four men held their hands up before they all
walked out of the front door together, shaking hands and greeting fans
along the way.
NWA Pro Wrestling Express also announced that their new website
would be up and functional by the end of the week, and could be
accessed thru www.PWXONLINE.vze.com, www.PWXNWA.vze.com, or
