BILL BEHRENS NWA NOTES for 2-18-08
The first episode of Peach State Pandemonium was broadcast live today, featuring our guest Bill Behrens. We discussed the pending Senate Bill 413, which could essentially end professional wrestling in the state of

Report on Georgia State
by Larry Goodman
WRESTLING WITH THE SENATE
February 12, 2008
Representatives of Georgia wrestling got their opportunity to address members of the Georgia Senate today during a hearing held by the Committee on Regulated Industries and Utilities on SB 413, the bill to regulate wrestling.
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over. However, based on comments made by President Pro Temp of the Senate, Eric Johnson, the bill’s primary sponsor and a member of the RIU Committee, there is a zero chance of the bill in its original form making it to the Senate for a vote.
Johnson repeatedly stressed that it was not his intention to put independent wrestling promotions out of business. He called the bill “a work in progress,” noted how well informed the primary spokespersons for the wrestling side were regarding the bill, and requested a copy of the 12 rules proposed the by the Georgia Wrestling Promoters Advisory Committee.
The wrestling side also did what they do best – they entertained. One lobbyist called it the most entertaining hearing the RIU Committee has ever had the privilege of hosting.
The case for the bill was presented by Deputy Secretary of State Robb Simms and Kelly Farr, Executive Director of the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission. Simms said while the State clearly understood that wrestling was choreographed, they were concerned about the lack of any medical screening and lack of blood tests to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. Simms made it clear that one of the driving forces was to remove the exemption granted to WWE under the current statute. Simms said the State had done their due diligence based on regulations in 26 other states. He discounted the possibility of WWE steering clear of
Farr was subjected to pointed questioning by Senate Majority Leader Tommie Williams, who was clearly not favorably inclined towards legislating more government. Farr claimed to have knowledge of a recent incident in which a twelve year-old participated in a wrestling show. Farr defended the 5% gate tax on the basis that it allowed the GAEC to keep the up front licensing costs lower, therefore making it less of a barrier to the promoters. Williams wanted to know if there were other entertainment forms that should be regulated. Farr said he could not intelligently address the question.
Johnson outlined the major points of the bill: the removal of WWE’s exemption, $1,000 licensing fee for promoters, attending physician and ambulance at all events, surety bond, and $50,000 life and health insurance policy. Johnson said the 5% tax was already in the law (only for boxing and MMA but not wrestling). Johnson noted that the rules related to the entertainment aspects of pro wrestling proposed by the GAEC were banned. He acknowledged that the section on referees had to be revised as it pertained to pro wrestling. Johnson also noted the high death rates among professional wrestlers. Farr quoted the cost of the health insurance as $2,250-2,750 per show.
Johnson emphasized that the bill defined an amateur as any wrestler earning less than $100 per match. Therefore, promoters paying wrestlers less than $100 would not be subject to regulation. Johnson indicated that the $100 figure was not set in stone.
John Taylor, the lawyer representing WWE in
Wrestler Simon Sermon called SB 413 a knee jerk reaction to the Benoit tragedy and big government at its most evil. Sermon said wrestling was his hobby, and his profession was being a private detective. Sermon ran down a list of injuries he had received. But it was a swerve, as he concluded by revealing that his injuries occurred while pursuing other “hobbies” like flag football and basketball. Sermon said he had never been seriously injured during his 7 year career.
Bill Behrens told the Committee that he was employed by Total Nonstop Action, “the Avis of the wrestling business”, and had promoted over 1,000 wrestling shows. Behrens said he had never seen a GAEC member in attendance at any of his shows. He pointed out the ambiguous language contained in the bill’s definition of pro wrestling which states that wrestling matches may have a predetermined outcome and wrestlers may not use their best effort to win.
Behrens presented many of the same arguments he did at the GAEC hearing in December – the nature of wrestling is different from MMA and boxing because there is no intent to hurt an opponent to win a purse. He contrasted wrestling with watching NWA Anarchy wrestler Slim J compete in MMA and how dangerous it was by comparison. He said the claims of major injuries related to pro wrestling in
Behrens brought up the 12 rules he presented to the GAEC on behalf of the wrestling advisory board. Johnson said he no knowledge of those rules and wanted to get a copy of them.
NWA Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer spoke as a trained paramedic and a wrestling promoter. Palmer compared wrestling to a sixth grade play put on by very big boys. He said the $1,000 per show permit fee, the MD and ambulance requirements, etc., would put him out of business. He said the gate tax was okay if the GAEC wanted 5% of his $1,000 gate. Palmer warned that if SB 413 became law, then it would be just the big promotions and the outlaw promotions left doing business.
Palmer said he didn’t mind regulation, but he did not appreciate extinction. He reiterated that the promoters’ efforts to collaborate with the GAEC went nowhere. Johnson complimented Palmer on his knowledge of the bill.
Just as he was at the GAEC hearing in December, Eddie (aka Iceberg) Chastain’s testimony was one of the highlights of the hearing. Iceberg offered to give the Committee members a worked punch of the type that are used in pro wrestling and a shoot punch like in boxing and let them judge which needed to be regulated.
Johnson concluded the meeting by thanking the wrestling side for their input and reassuring them that they were seeing the legislative process in action.
NWA ANARCHY TV TAPING 2-16-08 REPORT by LARRY GOODMAN
The magic is back. NWA Anarchy is on a roll heading into Hardcore Hell. Last night’s television taping in Cornelia was the best one in several months, maybe more. There were points where the energy and intensity had more of a big show feel than Season’s Beatings.
The main events were both gems. They were the two best matches I’ve seen live in 2008.
Really, all of the key matches and angles yielded excellent results. The ringwork was up to the level of the storylines, which hasn’t always been the case of late.
The crowd of 225 at the NWA Arena was blazing hot in all the right places. good stuff.
They are politicians. Do not assume they are going to do the right thing.
That’s how Jerry Palmer summed up the situation with Senate Bill 413 and the General Assembly. Palmer said the senators seemed sympathetic to the issues raised during testimony regarding legislation that would put a stranglehold on independent wrestling in
Nemesis barged in the front door calling for Shadow Jackson. As Palmer was directing security to remove Nemesis, Jeremy Vain and Rob Adonis jumped him from behind. Vain used his boot to put a lump in Palmer’s head legit and bloodied him up. Vain added a top rope boot shot to the noggin before Austin Creed, Hayden Young and Ace Rockwell made the save. The crowd chanted “Jer-E” as Palmer was carried out.
(1) Chip Day beat Frankie Valentino in 6 minutes. Fast paced action. Valentino (Valentine) is tons better than he was a year ago. His moveset has gotten ever so much more interesting, and his execution was right on the money. Valentino did a variation of a Blockbuster with Day straddling the middle ropes. He applied a cravate. Stiff strikes both ways here. Day rallied with a missile dropkick and a flip dive that came up short, but Valentino made a good catch on it. Day prevailed with a corkscrew moonsault.
(2) New Wave (Derrik Driver & Steven Walters) beat Talent & Money (J. T. Talent & Andrew Pendleton III) in 7:20. These teams should be beyond familiar with each other at this point. They had a good match. The heels, Talent & Money got a louder entrance pop than New Wave, and that just should not be. Walters persuaded the crowd to do the Wave. That took balls. New Wave got in a couple of nice double teams before Pendleton turned the tide with the money neckbreaker on Driver. Hollywood Brunettes came to ringside to observe. Talent hit the Big Nasty (elevated full nelson facebuster) for a near fall. T & M got another two count with a sideslam/top rope legdrop combo. Walters cleaned house with the hot tag. Spinkick to the mush on Talent, and Pendleton saved. Pendleton got into a war of words with Brunettes. Meanwhile, New Wave hit the Unskinny Bop (side slam/quebrada combo) to pin Talent.
(3) Mikal Judas pinned Dominous in 3:12. This was as good as it possibly could be, and you have to give Judas most of the credit. Dominous was billed at over 7 feet tall. Judas clotheslined Dominous over the ropes at the opening bell. They brawled around the ring. Dominous posted Judas. Back inside, Dominous hit a chokeslam. Judas went way up for it. Big time heat. Judas sat up and leveled Dominous with the Mafia Kick. Judas staggered Dominous with a sick chair shot to the skull. A second one put him down. Then, with the disfigured freak flat on his back, Judas delivered the coup d’grace. Judas made a kneeling pin while jamming the chair edge into Dominous’ throat. It wasn’t announced as a no DQ match, but who was going to tell Judas that? The handheld camera got a great close up of Judas posing with the bent up chair. Dominous was out cold and it took a crew of wrestlers to haul the behemoth to the back.
This was the swan song for Dominous. He was no longer a part of Devil’s Rejects. His counterpart with the NWA Elite, Abomination, has been gone for some time. In retrospect, Anarchy got maximum mileage out of two big guys with very limited experience.
(4) Todd Sexton pinned Wesley Grissom with the Sexecution (9:04). Grissom got a great entrance pop, but his night went south from there. Sexton blew off the “Todd’s a legend” chant. He tried to intimidate Grissom, and when that didn’t work, Sexton popped Grissom with an elbow on the break. A series of reversals lead to Sexton turning Grissom’s spinning headscissors into a face plant. Sexton softened Grissom up with strikes and went for a triangle submission. No go. Monkey flip into the buckles by Grissom and both men down. Grissom started going for springboard maneuvers, but he just was not hitting his stuff and lost the crowd in the process. Sexton stunned Grissom with a superkick, planted him on the top rope and abused him with a jawbreaker lariat. Grissom ducked a second superkick. A ref bump looked screwed up, although Grissom actually kicked Brent Wiley in the groin. Grissom tried a Pele that garnered a “you’re not A. J.” chant from the Bleacher Bums. Grissom sorta hit the running SSP but no ref to count. Sexton’s running Samoa Joe type kick to the face ended it.
(5) Devil’s Rejects (Iceberg & Azrael & Shaun Tempers with Reverend Dan Wilson) beat Awesome Attraction (
(6) Adrian Hawkins beat Amien Rios in 6:16 with the Extreme Makeover. They did not mesh well. Rios got a surprising amount of offense. The crowd didn’t show much passion for Hawkins, probably because it was a very average match.
(7) Regular Guys (Bobby Hill & Tyler Smith) beat Anger Alliance (Brodie Chase & Don Matthews) after Melissa Coates got involved (9:05). Guys got a big pop for their entrance. Crowd wasn’t into them nearly as much once the bell rang. Chase’s comedy was pretty funny here. He gave Matthews a simulated anal penetration bump. Matthews hit the BFK on Hill. Coates came to ringside to taunt Matthews. The crowd chanted for puppies. “Those are my puppies!” said Matthews. Matthews showed off his stuff for Coates with a senton back splash and a full nelson slam. Chase hit his pumphandle neckbreaker and held Hill up so Matthews could finish him. Matthews was busy with Coates, who was up on the apron. Coates slapped Matthews. When Chase tried to intervene, Guys hit him from behind and an accordion collision ensued. Coates took a bump of the apron, and Smith rolled Chase up for the 1-2-3.
The postmatch was hell for Matthews. He had Coates in a full blow fit of rage on one side and Chase chewing him out from the other.
Nemesis entered the ring to call out the injured Shadow. Slim J came from the front door and was pounding away until Nemesis bailed. Security tried to break it up. Slim laid out one security guys in the ring and hit a corkscrew dive onto Nemesis and the three security guys trying to hold him back. Bullseye. They went down like bowling pins. Molten heat for all of this. What else could you expect when the number one babyface tangles with the most hated heel? J standing tall got the biggest babyface pop of the night.
(
Billy Buck & Chris King beat Hollywood Brunettes (Andrews Alexander & Kyle Matthews) via DQ due to interference by Talent & Money (7:30). King’s skater boy gimmick is history. He looks a bit like Sam Houston with the cowboy hat. Brunettes showed fear for Buck’s bionic elbow. King crashed and burned when Brunettes ran away from his dive attempt. Talent and Money came to ringside to watch Brunettes beat up on King. As per usual, it was Buck running wild with the hot tag. Finish saw Alexander setting Buck up for the Sheeney Curse when T & M interfered. New Wave came out to save Buck and King. Brunettes argued with T & M.
(9) Shatter (with Attorney Jeff G. Bailey) beat Ace Rockwell to retain the Anarchy Heavyweight Title in 12:45. Shatter can’t be long for NWA Anarchy. WWE is going to be drooling over this guy when they get another look at him next month. He’s shed the excess weight. But it’s more than the amazing physique. The guy can work at a major league level. Not to sell Rockwell short. He more than held up his end, and turned it into the type of match that elevates the loser. One of the wrestlers made the observation that Rockwell gets emotion across better than any other babyface on the roster. It was kind of like Anarchy’s version of Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy. They did a great job of telling the story - the undersized babyface has tremendous heart. He pulls out all the stops, comes oh so close, but can’t quite overcome the superior size and strength of his massive opponent. The pop for Rockwell ranked a close third behind J and Awesome Attraction. Rockwell surprised Shatter with an all out attack at the opening bell. It took three lariats, but he finally sent Shatter over the top rope. Rockwell did a huracanrana off the apron. He was damn fortunate to have Shatter as a base or it could have been ugly. Back inside, it was all Shatter. Bailey was the picture of overconfidence at ringside. Shatter did a
Shatter’s celebration was cut short by the arrival of Iceberg (with

NWA Anarchy TV Report by Ca$hFlowX
Episode 102
February 4, 2008
WRESTLING: (n.) ’res-ling A sport of contest in which two individuals face off in unarmed combat.
ANARCHY: (n.) an-ar-key (1) A state of lawlessness due to absence of authority. (2) A complete lack of order.
What happens when you mix the two together? NWA-Anarchy!
- NWA Anarchy is PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING~! Last week on NWA Anarchy TV, Slim J succumbed to Iceberg and was slaughtered by Patrick Bentley. Also, Mikal Judas defeated Kory Chavis in the main event. Johnson astutely notes “Straight to DVD” Jeff Lewis cowardly attacked Chavis until the fine gentleman known as Jeff G Bailey stood up to him. This week is supposed to be incredible because it’s Devil’s Rejects Night. They will not only be in singles action, but they will prepare to massacre competition in tag action: Sal Rinauro vs. Patrick Bentley. In the main event, Jeremy Vain with Mr. Adonis must face the big black man you’d never want to meet in a dark alley… or hell, anywhere… Shadow
1. NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Phil Shatter murdered Jesse Emerson in non-title action.
Emerson’s offense is quickly defused with the spear. Shatter displays pure dominance even when he slips up on the middle rope on splash attempt. Shatter listens to the crowd’s demand by delivering a second PTSD.
POSTMATCH: Afterwards, Jeff G Bailey commands Shatter to toss the garbage into the nearest BFI dumpster. Before he completes a sentence, “the Reverend” Dan Wilson, Iceberg and Mikal Judas interrupts his biweekly deluge. Bill Behrens counters Bailey’s contentions about having no #1 contender: Shatter has two #1 contenders. In two weeks, all three wrestlers must coexist as a unit or the title match is called off.
COMMENTS: That was easy.
- Backstage, Adrian Hawkins admires Sal Rinauro’s T-shirt, which you can purchase at salrinauro.com. Hawkins has a big match against the Rejects and wants to tag with Mr. Rinauro because Mr. Delay is not here. Rinauro laughs. Hawkins states Mr. Delay is filming a commercial with John Cena. Rinauro asks, “Who is John Cena?” Hawkins cleverly responds, “You can’t see me.” Boy, I feel sorry for Mr. Delay, filming a commercial with inferior wrestling talent like Cena. As Rinauro & Hawkins celebrate potentially tagging with each other, NWA Anarchy TV Champion Truitt Fields informs them he is available. They go through a number of tag team names like “Team Romp & Stomp” and “the New Prettiest Tag Team.” Rinauro is like, tag teams with new in their name never work, but Hawkins cuts him off by saying the New Rockers worked. So they decide to settle like men and Fields defeats Rinauro in a game of Rock, Paper and Scissors. LOL!
2. Devil’s Rejects (Azreal & Shaun Tempers) w/Dan Wilson & the Staff of Righteousness defeated the New World’s Prettiest Tag Team (Adrian Hawkins & Truitt Fields)
Fields begins this one with a little flare by pulling off a Rick Rude dance while standing over Azreal. The Rejects immediately go to work over Fields. After commercial, the Rejects deliver a double chokeslam to Fields. Fields finally buys himself time on very dangerous looking body slam. Ouch, that didn’t look right. Hawkins receives the hot tag and works over the Rejects. It breaks down to Azreal and Hawkins in the ring.
COMMENTS: So what was the finish out of left field about?
3. Patrick Bentley pinned Sal Rinauro.
This is a battle of 2/3 of the original NWA Anarchy Tag Team champions, who if I remember correctly, were Three Guys Who Totally Rule. The announcing crew focuses their attention on Slim J murmuring he will send Bentley straight to Hades after last week’s heinous attack. The tide turns for worse when Bentley flips Rinauro to the apron and snaps his neck on the top rope, but
COMMENTS: Overall, this was a good match where Bentley scores a clean victory over a major name. The ending didn’t look right because Rinauro had to visibly to duck his head to take the Dark Driver. The announcing crew did a nice job of covering Bentley’s attack on Slim J.
4. The Awesome Attraction (
Johnson is disgusted that Creed would dare to shake Sexton’s hand. Sexton plays games with Grissom early on by tagging out after selling delivering a back elbow. Sexton calls Grissom over to massage his back! Grissom focuses his attack on Young’s leg with a DDT on it. Sexton tags him and continues to work over Young’s leg. Sexton ducks an enziguri, but Young connects on the second one. Creed receives the tag and delivers a flurry of offense including the rolling clothesline. Sexton catches Creed charging in with a boot to the mush before tagging out to Grissom. Creed escapes a headlock by whipping Grissom into the ropes and injures his own family jewels. Sexton smartly tags himself in and scorns Grissom. Sexton prepares to deliver the superkick, but Grissom nimbly blocks it and Creed delivers the Monte Fisto. Sexton slumps to the mat. Young prepares for the Flying Squirrel, but he signals to Grissom to finish the Bald Retard off. Grissom learned his lesson the easy way and helped the opposing team with the shooting star press. Billy Kidman would be proud. Grissom poses with the Awesome Attraction afterwards.
COMMENTS: The match came across as quirky. I never could get into the match. The storytelling elements were funny and the finish was original.
5. Jeremy Vain w/Mr. Rob Adonis pinned Shadow
After commercial, we’re immediately greeted with a “Kill the Cracker” chant. Shadow happily obliges by Pearl Harboring Vain. Shadow dominates Vain to the extent where he’s calling a timeout. Shadow heads to the floor and catches Vain with a vicious headbutt. As Shadow reenters the ring, Vain seizes the moment when Mr. Adonis death grips Shadow’s leg. After eluding a Stinger splash, Vain delivers a top rope double kneedrop to Shadow’s stomach and applies an abdominal stretch. Vain reaches to Mr. Adonis’s outstretched arm for added leverage. After commercial, Vain continues to work over Shadow’s ribs. Shadow finally Hulks up and makes the big comeback. Shadow points to Vain and delivers a Season’s Beatings with a belly to belly suplex. Shadow prepares to make the cover and promptly smashes Adonis for interfering. Shadow destroys Vain with the 10-31 Crime in Progress spinebuster, but Nemesis enters through the front door to distract him. Nemesis leads the crowd in chanting Shadow’s name. Vain takes advantage of Shadow’s distraction by rolling up Shadow for the victory. (I don’t know if I can actually believe that move.) Nemesis continues to bait Shadow by portraying himself as brandishing twin Tech 9’s. Adonis & Vain launch an all out attack as Nemesis smiles. NWA Owner Jerry Palmer has had enough and makes the save with an axe handle. The crowd loudly chants “Shadow” as the rudos head to the back. That’s alright, Palmer is sick and tired of Vain & Adonis and GAEC. So he’s devised an evil scheme and has a mystery partner in mind to face Vain & Adonis. Palmer tells if everything ends on January 8, then he doesn’t mind going out on top than teaming with Shadow. Palmer addresses Nemesis and promises Shadow he will receive a shot at the idiot. Good finish.
COMMENTS: This was a good match with fun storytelling. Unfortunately, it isn’t in the realm of believability that Vain can hold Shadow’s
OVERALL: This week’s episode was heavy on storyline, mostly for the good. The match endings were good overall except for the main event’s that didn’t come across as believable. Not to sound a like broken record, Anarchy is steamrolling into another big event.

"Snake Eyez" Jason Riley -v- Tony Mega w/ The WeeZel
The match started on the outside, with Mega and Riley
brawling on the outside. Mega eventually stole the
board, allowing WeeZel to unstuff himself with a dry
erase marker (we know why he stuffs, seeing as he is a
WeeZel, but a dry erase marker? Dumbass) and the board
was then broken over Riley's head. Not the board, just
the frame. Mega rolled Riley into the ring and went
for the cover, but was unsuccessful. The two continued
going at it, eventually leading to WeeZel holding down
Riley's feet, preventing him from kicking out and
allowing Tony Mega to get the pin.

Jerry Stylz -v- "Simply Amazing Justin Dredd
Jerry is a funny guy, but funniness doesn't beat
Justin Dredd. Dredd showed that the beating from Mason
Quinn in ICW wasn't enough to slow him down. Jerry was
possibly at his best from and offensive point of view,
including hitting a nice elbow drop. In the end
though, Justin Dredd did get the win.
"Simply Amazing" Justin Dredd def. Jerry Stylz
Douglas "Do Right" Peterson -v- Sam Hayne
And I'm going to channel Red Foreman from That 70's
Show in this breakdown, as it really does seem to fit.
As predicted, Sam Hayne dominated the young DDP. DDP
even broke from "fighting the clean fight while on the
straight and narrow" in order to try to get a one up
on the devil. He threw a cup of ice water at Sam Hayne
(dumbass), tried to get Sam Hayne in a spot where he
could get a couple shots in (such as sliding through
the ring and trying to jump Hayne on his way back in
(dumbass) and trying to do a baseball slide that Hayne
side stepped (dumbass). The only thing that made it so
DDP didn't get pinned, was the Foreign Franchise
interfered causing a no contest. And no contests don't
count towards my predictions.

The McCoy Brothers (Mikey McCoy & Chase McCoy) (c) -v-
The Dream Police ("Smokin'" Don Gotti & "Cookie
Cutter" Christopher Gambino) ACW Tag Team Championship
Before the match, The McCoys came out and said that
last months #1 Contender's match was a joke, and that
they were not going to be putting the titles on the
line. The match was really controlled by The McCoys,
as they were able to keep themselves fresh while
preventing the tag on the other side of the ring. In
the end, The McCoys get the win.

Thomas Walton III (c) -v- Mystique ACW X Division
Championship
Mystique really showed why she deserved this match,
keeping TW3 on the defensive for much of the match,
despite the interference from Tejas and Chase McCoy.
As the match progressed, the distraction was provided
to the referee, allowing Tejas enough time to put
Mystique down and for TW3 to pin Mystique.

Markus Maximus -v- Dysfunction
It was announced earlier in the night that Markus was
not there, but hey, Kody was, so Ben told him to get
his gear on and he would be wrestling Dysfunction...
so it was....
"K-Train" Kody Rice -v- Dysfunction
This match gets my vote for match of the night. Great
back and forth wrestling, and Dys did pull out the wet
willy. And got a 2 count from it. Both men were in
control of the match at points, but in the end, Dys
absolutely levels Kody with a Superkick for the 1-2-3.
Dyfunction def. "K-Train" Kody Rice
Mason Quinn (c) -v- Tejas NWA:
Title
A great match, they two behemoths colliding in the
ring like a pair of titans, battling fiercly. And I
was very happy with the multiperson, long and extended
"Mason Quinn" chant, of which I did quite well with
the "Ma-" part and the occasional "Quinn" when that
person failed miserably at it. In the end though, it
was all about the match, and Mason Quinn did come out
of the match with his belt and a win.
Mason Quinn def. Tejas
"Cadillac" Nick Colucci -v- Shane Hills
What can I say other than this was a great match to
end the night with from a wrestling standpoint.
Colucci did end up getting what was coming to him and
Hills got the win... all we need now is the goat.
Colucci finally got a bit of what is coming to him,
the question is who's going to step up to him next
month? Personally, I'd still like Colucci/Dysfuction
or maybe another matchup between Colucci/Justin Dredd.
Shane Hills def. "Cadillac" Nick Colucci
Post match, The Good Reverend comes out and lets
everyone know that with DINN T. MOORE coming back next

NWA Great Championship Wrestling
February 14, 2008
Phoenix City
Over 300 were in attendance and I wouldn't be shocked
if attendance wasn't over the allowable 320.
Match #1
Referee Randy Ray
Scotty Beach defeats Randall Johnson after hitting a
Beach Bomb.
Before this match began Johnson gets on the mic and
talked about how he was vacationing in
week. He says that noone is bigger or badder than
Randall "Big" Johnson and told Beach to come out and
lose to the Big Johnson. Not sure which is funnier, a
190lb guy who claims to be big, or the Big Johnson
part.
Match #2
Referee Jeff McGowan
GCW Tag Title Match
Tex Monroe and J-Rod retain the titles against the
Hooligans after J-Rod hits Mason Cutter with the TKO.
This was another exciting match between these two
teams. This match wasn't as fast paced as the one last
week, but damn these two teams blew the freaking roof
off the place.
Match #3
Referee Jeff McGowan
GCW Interstate Title Match
AJ Steele w/The Intern retains the title after hitting
Shaun Banks w/Cru Jones with the Steele City Bomb.
The end came when Jones tried to interfer and it
backfired. Good solid match between two very good
wrestlers.
Out comes the GCW Heavyweight champion Johnny Swinger,
Quentin Michaels and Zero Tolerance. Michaels gets on
the mic and starts to talk about the democratic
primary. He says that folks listened to Hillary at
first but noone is listening to her now and then he
mentioned that life imitates professional wrestling,
because noone listens to a woman. He said noone is
listening to Hillary Clinton and noone is going to
listen to Diane Hewes.
Out comes GCW owner, Diane Hewes. Michaels talks about
the firing of Scrappy McGowan and produced a letter
from some law firm. He said that while she was in her
rights to strip McGowan of his commissionership, she
didn't have the right to take away his senior
officating status. So Scrappy is now the senior
official in GCW.
Hewes said that Scrappy will be the senior referee.
She then jokingly said that Michaels is upset because
this being Valentine's day there are no female weasels
around.
Michaels then started to threaten Hewes when David
Young came out to make the save.
Match #4
Referee Randy Ray
David Young defeats Zero Tolerance w/Quentin Michaels
and Johnny Swinger after hitting Zero with a running
cast forearm smash.
Before the finish, Zero motioned that he was going to
break Young's arm again and had Swinger fetch a chair.
But Young was able to turn the tables and kick the
chair into Zero's face.
After the match, Young gets on the mic and tells
Swinger that he's going to win the battle royal and
that a broken arm will be a drop in the bucket.
Match #5
Referees Jeff McGowan and Randy Ray
22 Man Battle Royal

After the match, Banks, Jones and Swinger try to

even though Russo shouldn't have been in the match. I
mean next time put in Kenny and Johnny the GCW
cameramen.
Next week for the GCW title, Disco Inferno vs Johnny
Swinger.

FAN REVIEW TAKEN FROM AIRPLANESPIN.COM Credit AirplaneSpin.com
Hi everyone, I just got back from the 3rd Annual Hartfield Fire Department's NWA-Virginia fundraiser. It was a great crowd tonight, probably 250+ and they were into pretty much everything. Unfortunately the mic's weren't working well all night and I could not get the names of a few of the wrestlers. Two special guests who were in attendance tonight were former WWE referee Dave Hebner (who was twice mistakenly called EARL Hebner! oops!!) and Tammy Sytch, who was referred to all night by her WWE name Sunny. Both took pictures at intermission with fans for a nominal fee. Before the matches started they had a Ten Bell Salute for Mid-Atlantic wrestling legend Johnny Weaver who passed away at his home a couple of days ago. R.I.P. Johnny, we'll miss you.
