What a night of action! Over 300 fans packed the Dory Funk Arena in Ocala, Florida to witness the most electrifying night of wrestling in !BANG! history. This night left the fans on their feet chanting for
more. Championships were lost, old rivalries renewed, new ones made, and many questions left unanswered.
Let's get started with the action.
The night kicked off with Manik vs. Lost Soul with manager A.J. Wrong.
Manik got the fans on their feet right from the beginning with a flip
over the top-rope entrance. Now that's an entrance. Manik's feet
barely touched the mat the entire match as a result of his high flying athletic ability. Batman would be jealous of this kid. Lost Soul had a tremendous advantage over his opponent outweighing him by at least 75-100 pounds, but that advantage wouldn't last long as Manik hit Lost Soul with an opening head scissors followed by a moonsault off the top ropes for the 3 count and the win. I'm sure this isn't the last we've seen of this kid.
The 2nd match of the evening was for the Funking Conservatory European Championship. Murder One vs. (Champion) Big Mike Hall. This match started off with Big Mike Hall beating down Murder One. Murder One used his street fighting techniques to bring himself back into this one - and that's exactly what this was - a street fight. It might as well have been set in the alleys of New York City. These two battled it out for the entire match until Murder One hit the champ with a low blow followed by an ace cutter for the 3 count while holding Big Mike's tights. Needed to bring in the instant replay for this one. This match was won in typical Murder One style - by stealing it. Big Mike let Murder One know he'll be looking to get the title back.
The 3rd match of the evening was for the Funking Conservatory TV
Championship.(Champion) Super Paul vs. Lonnie (Sin Ray) Valdez. The fans were on their feet as Ocala's own Super Paul made his way to the ring.
Let me tell you folks, this kids ring Attire is the flashiest I've ever
seen secondary only to Ric Flairs. I had to break my sunglasses out to keep from being blinded. Sin Ray wasted no time and attacked Super Paul right from the beginning. These 2 used everything in their arsenals to pull out a Victory. During the match Sin Ray landed a standing moonsault on Super Paul. Now there's a move you don't see often. Super Paul also used some outstanding moves like the cattle mutilation. With about 30 seconds left Sin Ray got the high bridge followed by a double wristlock on Super Paul. Super Paul's determination kept him from submitting and
he walked away still Champion. This was a long, hard fought battle. Both men can walk away from this one with their heads held high. Thanks for going all the way in this one guys.
The 4th match of the evening was for the Intercontinental Championship.
Blain Rage (Champion) vs. The English Prince, Reece Royale. This was Reece Royale's first match on American soil and I'm sure its one he won't soon forget. To the surprise of the fans, Reece Royale was led to the ring by the First Lady of wrestling, Missy Hyatt with her dog, Milo.
Blain Rage used his experience to gain the early advantage on Reece.
Reece fought back several times during one point in the match hitting a leg drop on Blain for the 2 count. This match was full of action and athleticism. These two athletes were on top of their game this night.
Reece hit Blain with the most impressive flying head scissors I have ever seen in a wrestling ring. The crowd was shaking their heads in disbelief after that one. Blain finished off Reece for the 3 count with the job opening, which kept Reece down for a while but after a kiss from Missy, he seemed to recover quickly. I guess we can't blame him. At the end of the match, Blain almost kicked Missy and Milo right out of the arena to the delight of many fans. These are 2 amazing athletes. Hope to see these 2 bring down the house again real soon.
The next match, The Great White Butcher and Rich O'Reilly vs. Jacknife Ben Guest and Big Bank Barfield. Rich O'Reilly dominated early against Jacknife. Jacknife had several opportunities to finish Rich but failed to capitalize on them.. Big Bank Barfield and Jacknife tried to keep out The Great White Butcher as long as they could. He finally made his way in dropping an elbow on Big Bank. This match ended with the crowd on their feet as Big Butcher splashed Jacknife and Big Bank Barfield, then threw off the illegal man Jacknife and went for the cover and 3 count on Big Bank. This tag-team should be a force to reckon with here on !BANG! TV for a long time to come.
6th match of the evening was for The Funking Conservatory Tag Team Championship(Champions) Johnny Magnum & Dory Funk Jr. vs. Eddie Colon and Carlos Colon. You could feel the tension in the air between these competitors. This was Eddie Colons first match in the USA for !BANG! TV.
There were few pins in this match due to the Nonstop action in the ring.
One of the highlights of the match was a piledriver delivered to Eddie Colon compliments of Dory. Dory then tagged in Johnny Magnum and he wild on both Eddie and Carlos. The fans were going crazy. It looked promising for the champions as Dory was placing the spinning toe hold on Carlos, Eddie came in and dropped kicked Dory from behind, which sent Dory forward, Carlos used this chance to wrap Dory in a small package for the victory. New champions Eddie and Carlos Colon.
The last match scheduled for the evening was supposed to be The
Claw(Claudia Reiff)US Intergender ChampionVs Stacey Colon. Due to an ankle injury Stacey was not on the flight with her Father, Carlos and brother Eddie. The Claw let Everyone know how she felt about that before the match, including Stacey's family.NWA Women's Champion Lexie Fyfe stepped in Stacy place with Missy Hyatt as special Guest referee. The Claw brought down Lexie several time for the pin but due to Missy Hyatt's laziness she was unable to score the victory. Eddie Colon came out to ringside to Defend his sister's absence. The Claw was heading for the ropes and Eddie tripped her up, then pulled her outside for a couple
of cheap shots, Eddie threw her back in where Lexie was waiting for her.
Referee Body by Joe ran in to make Missy aware of the interference.
Missy had no choice but to disqualify Lexie and award the vacated
Funking Conservatory Championship to The Claw. Missy clocked The Claw with the belt as Claw turned aroundto thank Missy for doing the right call on the Championship. Chaos broke loose and we had ourselves an intergender battle royal. The night ended with Dory Funk Jr. and Johnny Magnum cleaning house the ring.
