NWA Anarchy TV Report by Ca$hFlowX
Episode 103
February 11, 2008
The Valentine Day & President’s Day long weekend boded well for a nice vacation. Saturday night, I attended a Pro Wrestling Phoenix show in
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~! Greg Hunter professes his love for Michael Landon’s “Highway to Heaven” by reminding everyone that the annual Season’s Beatings occurs in two weeks. Johnson admits NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Phil Shatter must be at the top of his game when he defends against not one, but two challengers in Iceberg and Mikal Judas. All three are involved in six man action where any participant who attacks a partner is booted from the title defense. Also, the Devil’s Rejects defeated
- First, we turn to Brandon Phoenix & Don Matthews jibber jabbering about Brain Kendrick & Paul London. Before their discussion begins, the uber-thingyy and confident Brody Ray Chase struts in like a confident politician running for President. Of course, they were referring to the Stray Cat getting his posterior handed to him by the former ROH superstars on WWE Heat. Chase pregnant doges and complains about tagging with the Charles Atlas 98 pound weakling. Chase calms himself down and informs the
1. Todd Sexton & Wes Grissom fought to a draw in the Mega-Rumble.
Wrestlers enter the match at 2 minutes intervals. Todd Sexton and Sal Rinauro kick off the festivities in the Mega-Rumble.
ENTRANT #3: Brody Ray Chase.
ENTRANT #4: Andrew Alexander.
ENTRANT #5: Steven Walters.
ENTRANT #6: Kyle Matthews
ENTRANT #7: Derek Driver. Wow, nice pop for Driver. The New Wave & the Hollywood Brunettes face off.
ELIMINATION #1: Alexander by the New Wave.
ELIMINATION #2: Matthews by the New Wave. BOO~!
ENTRANT #8: Brandon Phoenix
ENTRANT #9: Don Matthews.
ELIMINATIONS #3 & 4: Driver by Sexton, and Walters by Chase & Phoenix.
ENTRANT #10: Adrian Hawkins.
ENTRANT #11: Melissa Coates. This is when things get interesting because the psychotic love story between Don Matthews and Melissa Coates continues. Coates immediately kicks ass by attacking Sexton and then 
by the Amazon brutality that Coates exudes. Chase confronts Coates and she slaps the taste out of his mouth. Well, Coates smashes Chase and attacks Matthews. The Merciless One just smiles as Coates unleashes several more forearms. Chase takes advantage by eliminating Coates! Matthews is left dumbfounded as he apologizes to Coates.
ELIMINATION #5: Coates by Chase. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Matthews continues to apologize and Rinauro takes advantage with a dropkick.
ELIMINATION #6: Matthews by Rinauro. Coates continues to attack a smiling Matthews. Matthews is sicker than I am.
ENTRANT #12: Seth Delay
ELIMINATION #7:
ENTRANT #13: Kory Chavis.
ELIMINATION #8: Hawkins by Chavis.
ELIMINATION #9: Delay by Chase.
ELIMINATION #10: Chase by Delay. Sexton & Chavis execute the X-Bomb on Rinauro. The referee rules Chase wasn’t eliminated since Delay couldn’t eliminate anyone since he was already eliminated. Got that? Chase is eliminated anyway when the referee counts him out.
ELIMINATION #10: Chase by countout.
ENTRANT #14: Wes Grissom. Things really got interesting here because Grissom goes to town on Sexton and the Ruthless Villain. All four men are left lying on the canvas after wiping each other.
ELIMINATION #11: Rinauro by Sexton. Chavis connects with the Spinesplitta on Sexton. As Sexton prepares to put Grissom away, Jeff Lewis’s entrance music plays to the amazement of Chavis & Bailey. With Bailey & Chavis distracted from the Feature Presentation’s grand entrance, Grissom dropkicks Chavis flying to the floor. Awesome!
ELIMINATION #12: Chavis by Grissom.
FINAL 2: Sexton takes over with a tear drop suplex. Sexton measures Grissom but misses a leaping kick. Sexton sets up to suplex Grissom to the floor, but the former referee lands on the ring apron. They duke it out on the apron and eliminate each other via double knockout. The referees are forced to call the match a draw. The decision drew a delayed moan from the crowd. Bill Behrens announces that the two will face off at Season’s Beatings with the winner moving on to fight NWA Anarchy TV Champion Truitt Fields.
COMMENTS: Leave it to master booker Bill Behrens to set up several interesting match-ups and feuds in the Mega-Rumble. The Matthews/Coates/Alliance segment was a nice intricately booked segment. The Mega-Rumble ending left a stale taste, but was needed to set up the Sexton/Grissom match for Season’s Beatings.
2. Shadow
Matthews is a substitute for Adam Roberts. The crowd immediately greets
COMMENTS: This segment was a great finish to a hot show!
OVERALL: A good show heading into the one of the biggest shows of the year.

From some of the information on the show, this was supposed to air last week as they had advertisements for this past weekend's NWA shows around the east coast. It feels better as a wrestling product to see it all in one place and have them put in old school promos and interviews.
NWA WRESTLING SHOWCASE TV REPORT
by Jon Hewett
Here we go with the first episode of the NWA Wrestling Showcase on DISH Network Channel 9407 COLOURS TV to take place from within the ballroom of the Plaza Hotel and Casino in
David Marquez starts things off by welcoming the audience to the show. He says that the demand for watching the show on www.colourstv.org that they crashed the servers several times. I was actually told by a reader that was indeed the case a few weeks ago. You can also check out the show on www.nwawrestling.com as they have a feed of the show on the main page. David introduces our first match.
Match #1 - Mike Quackenbush (c) vs. Casandro the Exotic for the NWA Jr. Heavyweight Championship
Before the match gets underway, the announcers take a second to explain the NWA rules. Nothing out of the ordinary except that the NWA allows their referees to use a variant on a Lucha Libre style in that during tag team matches, illegal tag partners may enter the ring without facing a count and throwing your opponent over the top rope is a disqualification.
Casandro goes behind Quackenbush and gets a takedown into a front headlock. Quackenbush reverses out of it keeping Casandro's arm in an armbar. Casandro cuts a front flip into an arm drag on Quackenbush and finishes the series with a kip up. Another lock up sees Quackenbush take down Casandro and tie up his legs. Casandro sweeps Quackenbush back in a crucifix like pin and get a two count. Before Casandro can get to his feet Quackenbush takes him down again but how they wind up is a bit too weird for Quackenbush as he quickly gets up and back to the corner to wave off Casandro. Quackenbush shakes it off and locks up with Casandro again. Casandro hits a go behind and scoops up Quackenbush for a quick Fireman's carry. Pin attempt for two. Casandro locks up Quackenbush's leg and drags him to the corner so he can roll through flipping Quackenbush with him for a bump. Quackenbush flips over to get out of the hold but Casandro ties up his legs so he works out a kip up into an arm drag of his own.
Quackenbush and Casandro lock it up again after staring each other down and Quackenbush does a series of go behinds hammerlocking the arm of Casandro before hitting an inverted type Fireman's Carry while Casandro's arm was hammerlocked. Casandro retaliates immediately with a headbutt to the gutt that sends Quackenbush into the corner. Casandro charges in full speed but Quackenbush ducks which sends Casandro crashing into the ring post and out on to the floor. The referee checks on Casandro on the outside. Casandro is up and back in the ring before the 10 count.
Casandro and Quackenbush hit a series of fast drop downs and leapfrogs that end with Casandro hitting a back roll while Quackenbush goes over the top in and jumping roll. Quackenbush catches the arm of Casandro and springboards back into an arm drag. Casandro back with a quick punch to the chest that forces Quackenbush into the corner. Casandro with a chop to Mike's chest and he tries for an Irish whip to the far side but is reversed. Casandro leaps over the ropes to land on the apron as Quackenbush charges and he blocks a punch attempt then hits a chop that sends Quackenbush back a few steps. Casandro up to the top turnbuckle and he twirls off of it catching Quackenbush in a twisting arm drag. A frustrated Quackenbush tries to hit an overhand punch but Casandro grabs it and heads to the corner to walk the runway on the top rope from one corner to another hitting another arm drag at the end.
Quackenbush rushes Casandro with a clothesline but he ducks and when Quackenbush turns around, he plants him one on the kisser much to the announcer and my ear drums dismay. Quackenbush wipes his mouth like he took a shot of Caster Oil and rolls out of the ring. He paces around the ring but gets back in to face his stalker... opponent. Casandro offers his hand for a handshake but Quackenbush whips him into the ropes and catches him with a nice tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Pin attempt for two. Quackenbush steps between Casandro's legs and stretches him back with a surfboard like hold. Casandro releases the hold but Quackenbush locks up the leg again and this time leans back into a bridge to put extra torque on Casandro's leg. Casandro gets out of it again but he's cut off when Quackenbush scoops him up for a side backbreaker and goes for a pin. Two count. Quackenbush whips Casandro in to the far corner and comes in with a flying back elbow. He calls for another one but Casandro jumps up on the ropes and Quackenbush runs square into his spandexed backside. Casandro scoops up Quackenbush for a slam and hits an elbow drop. Casandro then gets Quackenbush up in a Gory Special stretch and slides him forward off his shoulders for a pin but gets a two. Casandro whips Quackenbush to the ropes but is reversed. He comes back with a quick body scissors into a Victory Roll for another two count. Quackenbush gets leapfrogged and then arm dragged for his troubles but elevates Casandro up and over to land on the apron. Quackenbush goes for a punch but is blocked and slapped by Casandro. Casandro up to the top rope and he hits a front dropkick on Quackenbush and Quackenbush rolls out of the ring. Casandro charges the ropes and hits a suicide dive on Quackenbush. Both men struggle to get back in the ring before the count hits 10 but they cannot.
Double Count Out but Mike Quackenbush retains his title.
Match #2 - The Young Bucks Matt and Nick Jackson vs. Alkatraz and Derrick Jannetty
Matt and Alkatraz circle each other and lock up but Alkatraz uses his power to shove Matt back on the mat. Another lock up sees the same result. Alkatraz goes for another lock up but Matt ducks behind him with a waist lock. Alkatraz struggles for a moment before hitting Matt with an elbow. He slugs Matt down and tries to slingshot him into the corner but Matt catches the middle turnbuckle. Matt comes off in a crossbody but is caught. Alkatraz tries to move him up for a slam but Matt slips out the backdoor and shoves Alkatraz into the corner. Matt hits the ropes to hit a running kick on Alkatraz but is caught. Alkatraz flips him backwards but he lands on his feet and ducks a back elbow from Alkatraz to come back with a flying clothesline and sends Alkatraz reeling towards his corner. Jannetty has seen enough and tags himself in.
Jannetty hits the ring and is immediately arm dragged by Matt and held in an arm bar for Nick to get the tag and come in off the top turnbuckle with a double axe handle. Jannetty is back up to his feet and grabs Nick in a headlock but is pushed off into the ropes. He comes back on Nick with a shoulder block then runs the ropes while Nick ducks then leapfrogs and catches Jannetty with a hip toss. Nick clamps the hand of Jannetty and heads to the corner for a springboard arm drag. Jannetty rushes Nick only to get caught in an arm drag to an arm bar and Nick moves them over to tag in Matt. Matt leaps to the top turnbuckle and hits a moonsault on the barred arm of Jannetty. Matt locks up the arm of Jannetty and tags in Nick who ups the ante with a 450 splash to the arm of Jannetty. Nice spot. Nick works over Jannetty but gets pushed off into the ropes. He slides under Jannetty and Matt comes in and they whip Jannetty into the ropes and hit a double hip toss into a double cartwheel into a double dropkick. Jannetty slides to the outside and as his partner Alkatraz checks on him, Matt nails Alkatraz with a kick and both Bucks rush the ropes with a double flip over senton to the outside on Alkatraz and Jannetty.
Both teams are slow to get up but they get back into the ring before the count out. Matt covers Jannetty for a two. Matt scoop slams Jannetty and hits a quick rolling senton for another two count. Nicks tags in and works on Jannetty but Jannetty shoves him off into the ropes for Alkatraz to hit a cheap shot. Nick quickly retaliates knocking Alkatraz down.

Jannetty takes Nick down with a clothesline and goes for a cover. Two count. Jannetty brings Nick over to his corner and tags in Alkatraz who takes over the beatdown on Nick.

Alkatraz picks up Nick only to chop him back down for a pin attempt but gets two. Alkatraz scoop slams Nick and hits an elbow drop into a pin for another two count.
Alkatraz slaps Matt down to the floor which causes Matt to try and enter the ring but he's stopped by the ref. Alkatraz and Jannetty double team Nick in their corner while the ref's back is turned. Alkatraz fakes a tag and Jannetty continues to beat down Nick grabbing his hair and slamming him down. Jannetty hits a suplex for a pin and gets a two. Nick fights back but Jannetty cuts him off and tags in Alkatraz. Alkatraz slingshots Nick into the bottom rope and taunts him. Nick is picked up and shot off into the ropes but comes back with a sunset flip that gets a two. Alkatraz is up and not happy as he clotheslines Nick hard. Alkatraz brings Nick to his corner but Nick fights him off and also Jannetty. Jannetty grabs the hair of Nick and slams him down. Alkatraz scoops up Nick for a running powerslam but Jannetty tags himself in which causes Alkatraz to turn and look at Jannetty allowing Nick to slip out and shove Alkatraz into Jannetty. Nick hits the tag to Matt.
Double dropkick to Alkatraz sends him out of the ring. The Bucks double whip Jannetty into the corner. Nick hits a running knee to Jannetty's face which forces him out of the corner into a Kamakaze by Matt. Nick hits a senton on Jannetty and Matt seals the deal with a moonsault for the pin.

Candice tries for another charge on Kong but Kong just plows into her and sends Candice to the mat. Kong grabs up Candice by the hair and throws her out of the corner by it. Ouch.

Before the match, the Real American Heroes show an interview from earlier in the day. Great stuff as Ryan and Anderson chronicle their rivalry.

Your winners and still NWA World Tag Team Champions - The Real American Heroes: Karl Anderson and Joey Ryan!
After the match, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce welcome Nicho to his stable with the Real American Heroes.
David Marquez wraps up the show and leaves some cliffhangers for next week which will see matches from TJ Perkins,
Thoughts on the show:
This is what I wanted to see when I heard that the NWA was putting on a new television show. The matches were great, old school fun and they showcased most of the champions on the show and showed a solid outting from a future tag team championship challenging team. This was a solid 45 minutes of wrestling as there were very little in the way of segways and interviews but the interviews that were there were great, effective and short.
Amazing/Awesome Kong is simply one of the best talents to watch on TV today. The way she carries herself in the ring and is so believably dominant just makes me wonder how much more entertaining the Knockout's division on TNA would be if they let Kong's character dominate like she did in this match. I think that would make challengers like Gail Kim and ODB even better getting the face pop when they withstand the onslaught of Kong. I'm not saying that TNA isn't doing right with Kong but just that there's still a notch higher that Kong could be going at and I can't wait for the next NWA match with her in it.
The Real American Heroes and Los Luchas work so well together given the mismatch in their size but between this and the cage match from a couple weeks ago this a very good TV feud as far as I'm concerned. It looks like tag team gold may be in the future for Los Luchas coming down the line on the Showcase and I'm looking forward to seeing how they culiminate it.
All in all, this makes the months worth of screwy finishes and odd match pairings well worth it if the following shows are as solid as this one was.
As always, I can be reached at [email protected] for questions, comments, or rants.

NWA Great Championship Wrestling
Great Skate Plex
Phenix City, Alabama
Taylor McKnight kicks off evening's show in front of a
sell out crowd of 320 people. He announced that GCW
will be presenting War Games, which will take place on
April 24th. If the move to Thursday nights bring sell
out crowds for their regular events, then they might
need another venue for the War Games card, because it
could be around 400-500 folks in the Great Skate Plex.
Interesting thing is that McKnight did a little heel
thing where he insulted the fans by saying that he got
a high school diploma while the crowd was learning to
spell GED. What a dummy, he can't even spell Jed
right.
Match #1
Referee Randy Ray
Mason Cutter defeats 1/2 of the GCW tag team
champions, Tex Monroe when Devin Cutter switches
places with Mason and schoolboys Monroe for the
victory.
Ok I have to ask, how can you not tell the difference
between the Hooligans. Mason has hair, Devin is bald.
