New Japan Pro Wrestling to hold US Tryouts
Tokyo, Japan and Santa Monica, CA On March 31, 2006 New Japan Pro
Wrestling Co. Ltd. (NJPW) Executives announced the formation of
Wrestleland and Lock Up. These new brands were created to allow pro
wrestlers from around the world a chance to perform in Japan and advance
to the NJPW branded ring.

This is very different from what we have done in the past as each
Company has a different theme. We plan on producing these shows on a
smaller scale than traditional NJPW. Wrestleland is themed around
entertainment with drama that will make the fans smile with a lot of
color, while Lock Up will feature more of a sports theme with tough
competition said NJPW Vice President Naoki Sugabayashi.

The try out will take place at the New Japan Dojo in Santa Monica, CA from
April 28 30, 2006. The schedule for the try out is:

April 28 Try out day (1:30 PM)
April 29 Call backs (10:30 AM)
April 30 Weekly Dojo show (Fighters may be asked to participate in the show)

This is very exciting for our company because it will allow us the
Opportunity to meet new people and send them to Japan. With these two new
brands there will be a lot of spots to fill so the chances are good for
people thinking of attending the try outs, stated NJPW President, Simon
Inoki. I know some people think that try outs are a waist of time because
the chances are so slim, but we are seeking new faces, styles and
characters, continued Inoki.

Pro Wrestlers interested in attending the try out should RSVP by calling
310-264-9966 or [email protected]. Also please be advised that a $20.00
processing fee will be requested.

4/8 GCW Report     By: Larry Goodman

Great Championship Wrestling’s weekly show at the GCW Arena in Columbus produced an unlikely new television champion stemming from a spur-of-the-moment title match.

There’s a theme here. This is a company that has seen its talent base shift radically over the last eight months Gone are name performers like Elix Skipper, Kid Kash, Sonny Siaki and Jason Cross. They’ve been replaced by a younger and far less experienced crew. GCW is all about developing new stars. Fortunately, they’ve got some hot prospects and the storylines to provide the juice.

“Titles Overdue” drew a crowd of 275. They’ve been at that level for several weeks, and what it’s been moving in the right direction.

(1) Biohazard beat Matt Black via submission in 8:05. Biohazard was subbing for Lance Christian. Black stinks. He was moving at half speed and his selling was bland and lifeless. Biohazard beat the snot out of Black. Biohazard humiliated him, hit a spinning enzuigiri, and sent him to la-la land with the Prey for Death.

(2) Scott Steele beat Bobby Sanford (with Greg Brown & Quentin Michaels) in 4:33. This was a return match after Bad Company screwed Steele the first time. Sanford has wormed his way into Bad Company. Sanford first endeared himself to BC by helping Greg Brown retain the GCW title. Brown had been pressed into service as a stand-in for David Young. Sanford’s next stunt was to help Chris Stevens win the GCW Television Title. Sanford then stepped in as Stevens’ partner (subbing for Young) and they became the new tag champs. Scott has a great new hairline to go with that great physique. It appeared that Scott was going to overpower Sanford until he missed a legdrop at 3:15. Sanford hit a back suplex for a near fall. Scott came back with a powerslam. Brown distracted Steele. Sanford was cocked and ready with the superkick, but Scott blocked it and speared Sanford out of his boots for the pin. The finish got a big pop.

The Bad Company crew consisting of Stevens, Sanford, Brown and Michaels entered the ring. Michaels gets a ton of heat in the role of BC’s slimy attorney. He got the “weasel” chant. Michaels said David Young was yet to arrive at the building for his title match against A. J. Steele due to the world’s worst traffic. Michaels guaranteed that Young would be there. With “Start Me Up” blasting over the PA, Jerry Oates marched down the ramp. Michaels cowered behind the other members of BC. Oates said he was tired of the excuses. (He wasn’t the only one. This was third time in the last two months, and second week in succession that Young has failed to appear as advertised. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but inevitably, that bait-and-switch crap will bite you in the ass.) Oates said a member of Bad Company would have to face A. J. Stevens immediately volunteered. Oates said OK, but Stevens would have to put his TV title up against Scotty Beach to get the heavyweight title shot. Stevens said no problem.

(3) Mercedes beat Rock-C in 6:28. This was a case of wrestlers who are competent enough to be carried to a good match and totally incompetent at carrying someone else. A reliable source informed me that Amy Young was able to get decent matches out of each of these women. Rock-C can’t be much past 18. It wasn’t bad as long as they stuck to the basics. The situation degenerated from there. They traded miserable lariats. Rock-C used a less then perfect Perfect Plex for a near fall. They collided. The finishing sequence was the pits. Rock-C did a reverse roll up that would make Pat O’Connor roll over in his grave. Mercedes hit a powerslam and let up on the pin before the ref got to three. Mercedes faces Young next Saturday.

They cut to backstage on the big screen where Shaun Banks and Cru Jones were provoking a confrontation with Erik Watts. Watts was inside a fenced off workout area doing triceps extensions. Insert your own joke here about Watts’ workout regimen these days. Trash talking ensued. The end result was that Banks and Jones locked Watts inside the cage. That left Heath Miller without a partner for their tag match later in the show.

(4) Scotty Beach beat Chris Stevens to win the GCW Television Title in 9:25. Beach has been trying to earn his Bad Company membership card. Problem is he ruined Stevens’ title shot last week by accidentally hitting him with brass knucks. Stevens was teeing off on Beach right from the opening bell. He beat on him and beat on him. Then he beat on him some more. Beach’s chest looked like raw hamburger. Beach got nothing more than the occasional weak comeback. Stevens got a zillion near falls. Stevens used a kneedrop off the middle rope. Stevens choked Beach with his shirt. Stevens hit a sweet spinning vertical suplex. Stevens stretched Beach with a camel clutch and a crossface. Beach appeared to have nothing left. Stevens hit a major league superplex, but Beach rolled a shoulder to escape a nonchalant cover. When Stevens followed up with a big powerbomb attempt, Beach overbalanced and got the pin with a firm grasp on the ropes. The finish got over well. Credit Beach with a great job selling the beating.

Brown shook hands with Beach. It pained Michaels, but he also shook hands with Beach. Stevens started to raise Beach’s hand and then left him laying with a DDT.

(5) Heath Miller & Erik Watts (with John Bogie) beat Cru Jones & Shaun Banks in 17:38. Miller came out with Bogie. Apparently, Watts was still locked in the cage, which was lame. At this point, Watts had been in there for 30 minutes, including an intermission. It’s not like he was stashed in some secret underground bunker. If they were hell bent on going this route, they could have built the drama by cutting to Watts as he attempted to escape. Jones instructed the ref to enforce the contract, forcing Miller to go one on two. Bogie stayed at ringside looking disinterested. The storyline has teased trouble in paradise between Bogie and Watts, from the moment they lost the tag titles 3 weeks ago. The one against two was a brilliant idea, as it produced what was by far, the best match of the night. Miller, Jones and Banks show great chemistry with their ringwork. They worked a fast pace (ref Steve Miller was gassing by the end), but not too fast, and the timing was right there on everything. All three have it athletically. Banks has definitely been eating his vitamins. Banks is also a fearless bump taker, and he’s come a long way with his ring presence. Miller has improved a ton over the last year. I’ve said this before, but Jones is so much better as a heel. Miller isolated Jones on his side of the ring and outwrestled him for a good five minutes. Jones distracted the ref and Banks clubbed Miller from behind. Banks got too cocky and missed with a ridiculous moonwalk elbow drop. Miller went after Jones and Banks blindsided him again. The crowd got behind Miller. They let it build before Banks exploded with a dropkick. The heels started to wear Miller down. Miller rallied with a flying lariat. Jones locked in a grounded sleeper. Miller’s arm dropped twice, but he wiggled his fingers the third time. Banks cut Miller off with a leg lariat and a DDT for near falls. Miller finally put Banks on the deck and made a wobbly climb to the top. But no water in the pool for Miller’s high crossbody. Watts ran down the ramp to take the tag. Yes, the crowd popped for it. Bogie joined Watts on the apron. Miller simultaneously hit a bulldog on Banks and a lariat on Jones. Great timing spot to set up the hot tag. Watts took Jones out with a downward spiral and powerbombed Banks into the turnbuckles. Watts pinned Banks with a lariat, as Miller crushed Jones’ save attempt. Best pop of the night. Watts and Miller celebrated in the postmatch, but there wasn’t much love for Bogie.

(6) A. J. Steele beat Chris Stevens (with Greg Brown & Quentin Michaels) to retain the GCW Heavyweight Title in 10:05. A. J. has the size you want in a credible heavyweight champion, but none of the aura. Somebody give this man a fashion consultation stat. A. J. got the big pop for his intro, but Stevens received a pretty favorable response as well. With Young no longer in Columbus on a regular basis, Stevens is the top dog on the current roster, title belts notwithstanding. I guess he’s just not tall enough for WWE. There was an awesome spot in the opening minute where they did a test of strength and Stevens spit right in A. J.’s face. A. J. fired up. A dropkick was good for a two count. But A. J. missed with a flying knee and smacked it on the turnbuckle. Stevens wrapped the knee around the ringpost. Stevens switched to the right knee. It didn’t look random. A. J. ended up hanging off the apron and showed great fire fighting up from the bottom. Stevens locked in a figure four. Blood started to dribble out of a cut on A. J.’s head that had been opened up the week before. Stevens threw some great looking punches here and reapplied the figure four. A. J. reversed it. Stevens appeared to be in agony, forcing him to relinquish the hold. They exchanged punches. A. J. got the better of it. A. J. applied a sloppy sharpshooter. Michaels distracted and Brown helped Stevens make the ropes. A. J. hit a spiral slam and made the cover. While Brown got on the apron to distract, Beach ran down and tried to break up the pin with a moonsault. You know the rest.

Next week’s card is headlined by Stevens vs. Young. Will they go for three no shows in a row? There hasn’t been even a hint of visible dissension between the former champions. Not that the seeds haven’t been planted.

NOTES: This was the last night of my “Spring Fling II Tour.” I’ve seen 36 matches in four days in four different cities. It will wind up as a 1000+ mile loop. That ain’t squat compared to what the boys would do in the territory days, and I can’t begin to imagine the grind of doing it week in and week out. That’s not to say that I regret one minute of it. Well, maybe select minutes of that WEW garbage…Besides Young vs. Stevens, the 4/15 card has Watts & Miller & Bogie vs. Jones & Banks & Sanford and A. J. Steele vs. Scott Steele…This week’s edition of GCW Television was preempted by the Masters’ golf tournament. The 30 minute show normally airs Saturday at 7pm on the CBS affialiate WRBL 3 …GCW plans to do a 2nd anniversary spectacular at the end of May or early June…According the GCW Ringside Report, Vordell Walker had knee surgery on 4/3, Jason Cross is still rehabbing from his shoulder injury, and Ted Oates has neck surgery scheduled for 4/10…Ticket prices at the GCW Arena have been raised from $10 for general admission and $12 for ringside to $12 and $15.  

NWA WRESTLEBIRMINGHAM 4-7-06 RESULTS by LARRY GOODMAN 

Samoa Joe defeated Christopher Daniels to become the number one contender for the Alabama Heavyweight Title in the main event of last night’s NWA Wrestle Birmingham show.

But it wasn’t Joe/Daniels that got the “This is awesome!” chant last night, it was the performance by Dennis Condrey.

Wrestle Birmingham drew a crowd of roughly 400 to the Zamora Temple in suburban Irondale.

They couldn’t have gotten a worse night for getting walk up sales. The weather forecast threatened thunderstorms so severe that area schools let out early. It was a smallest crowd the promotion has drawn, which was a crying shame, because this turned out to be an excellent show.

The first half was nothing special, but they kept things short, and for the most part, it had good heat. The second half had the best overall ringwork of any Wrestle Birmingham show yet.

(1) Bubba Cagle & Bill Franklin beat Rivers D’Angelo & Will Owens in 7:11. The presence of Owens made this match watchable. He works like and old school veteran and did everything possible to get Cagle over. D’Angelo busted out Muay Thai knees at the opening bell. That was scary. When Cagle got off a burst of early offense, a fan taunted him about his willow arms. Owens leveled Cagle with a lariat for a great heat spot. The heels did a no tag switch. Owens carried the load on offense. Owens gave Cagle three near falls, raked the eyes, and got pinned with an inside cradle.

(2) Scott Armstrong and Lash LeRoux wrestled to a 10 minute draw. They had a good back and forth match, but it had the least heat of anything on the show. Although not quite at 100%, Scott’s recovery from knee surgery appears to be coming along just fine. They told the story that LeRoux seemed to have Scott’s number. Scott won the battle of top wristlocks, but LeRoux got a quick two with a roll up. Scott scored a shoulder block knockdown. LeRoux came back with two of his own, and Scott was feeling the effects. LeRoux used a series of shoulder blocks to the gut. Scott responded with an atypical brawling style of offense. LeRoux hit a side Russian legsweep and floated over for two. Scott used a Wrestling II kneelift for a near fall. Armstrong ducked and LeRoux went over the top. Armstrong followed LeRoux out to put the boots to him. LeRoux was getting the best of it as the time wound down. Scott connected with a superkick at the bell. It didn’t come easily, but they ended up shaking hands.

Armstrong brought up their days in WCW, saying LeRoux always showed respect and had come a long way.

LeRoux made a classy speech honoring Scott and the Armstrong family. LeRoux talked about growing up in Oxford, Alabama. Said he drove to the Power Plant in Atlanta for 10 months and paid WCW to train him. LeRoux recalled watching the Armstrong family wrestle at Boutwell Auditorium. LeRoux said that when he came to WCW, he didn’t emulate a Buff Bagwell or a Kevin Nash, he want to be like an Armstrong because they had fed their family on wrestling for 25 years, and that wasn’t an easy thing to do. LeRoux said that tonight he had the opportunity to wrestle one of his idols.  

(3) Brad Armstrong beat Butcher Hayes in 6:08.   Hayes had another unique hairstyle, a tuft of hair towards the back of his head with a long ponytail shooting out of it. After a brief shine segment for Armstrong, Hayes dominated the body of the match. At one point, Hayes set the ringsteps up on end, but Brad reversed the whip and Hayes went flying over the the steps. Brad telegraphed a backdrop, ate a knee, and sold it beautifully. Hayes dumped Brad and got a crazed expression on his face. Hayes brawled like a madman. Hayes used a lot of headbutts. Brad got an inside cradle out of leftfield to score the three count.

(4) Jimmy Powell & McNasty (with Robert Fuller) beat The Bullet & Jimmy Golden in 6:32.   Powell has at least one thing in common with Vince McMahon. They are both such tremendous performers as egotistical heels that it totally transcends their lack of wrestling skills. Bullet’s entrance still gets a great pop. He was outfitted in spring green gear for the occasion. McNasty couldn’t make a dent in Golden. That set up the anticipated confrontation between Bullet and Powell. Bullet put Powell in the Shattered Dreams position and chopped him. Powell sold it like his groin muscles were about to snap. But Powell’s chicanery gave McNasty the advantage on Bullet. Bullet teased a comeback, and Fuller had to wipe his brow with the hanky. Hot tag. The heels fed Golden. Finish saw Golden clothesline McNasty over the top and go for a suplex back to the inside. Fuller tripped up Golden and hung on the leg, while McNasty fell on top for the pin.  

Golden demonstrated what happened for the ref, but it was to no avail.

Bullet started jawing at Fuller, who was standing near the dressing room. Fuller made a big production out of taking off his coat and hat, and rolling up his sleeves, like he was ready to get down to business. Bullet charged. Fuller grabbed his stuff and ran. Hilarious. 

(5) Dennis Condrey and Lee Thomas had another awesome all-over-the-building brawl that ended as a no contest.   This match contained a classic mark out moment, the kind that become instantly etched into memory. You would think it was overkill to do the same deal two shows in a row. That would be underestimating Condrey, who once again stole the show. The “Battle of the Loverboys” program has been running for almost a year, and it just keeps building. Condrey has become the babyface in this feud by popular demand. How can any old school fan resist a legend that is still convincingly kicking asses in his 50s? But Thomas earned a measure of respect here. The previous brawl was all Condrey. Thomas got some comebacks this time. Wild action right from the get go. The crowd was so amped that they busted out an “ECW” chant. Condrey threw Thomas through three rows of chairs. At one point, Condrey was wearing a chair as a necktie. The action spilled into the lobby area with a mass of fans following the action. Condrey dragged Thomas up the stairs into the balcony. Condrey tried to throw Thomas off the balcony. Thomas was hanging on for dear life. Condrey pried one of Thomas’ hands off the edge. Thomas was able to switch hands to maintain a grip. Credit Thomas’ athletic ability. He looked like Spiderman up there. In as stroke of pure genius, Condrey sunk his teeth into Thomas’ hand to send him to the floor below. Fortunately, it wasn’t a long drop. Injury risk wasn’t what made this memorable, although there was an element of that for sure. This was all about creating a dramatic visual with the illusion of severe danger. They continued to brawl on the floor. Refs were flying in all directions. They needed help from back including Roy Lee Welch to break it up. Condrey acknowledged the crowd as they chanted his name. He left the people buzzing about what they had witnessed.     

(6) El Mexicano beat Mike Jackson to become the new NWA Wrestle Birmingham Junior Heavyweight Champion with the help of Daffney and “The Tennessee Stud” Robert Fuller in 14:41.    This was way better than it had any right to be. They had a helluva tough act to follow, and with Jackson facing a total unknown, the match figured to be a ho-hum title defense. It was anything but that due to Mexicano, a young, athletic cruiserweight with a major league body and a world of potential. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get a shot in Deep South down the line. Before the match got underway, Daffney and Fuller confronted Jackson. Jackson called Daffney a “Cyndi Lauper wannabe,” made fun of her K-Mart shoes, and said she had her legs up in the air a lot of times. Jackson said he was taught to respect women, but if Daffney slapped his face like she did at the Attalla show, she was in for it. Mexicano jumped Jackson from behind. Jackson made the comeback and did his mean face. Jackson pulled out a tope. Mexicano’s bumping looked green, but he was a solid base for Jackson’s geriatric aerial attack. Jackson went for a springboard move, and Mexicano met him in midair with a dropkick. That was nice. With the immigration issue fresh in their minds, the fans did dueling chants of “USA” and “Mexico”. Mexicano hit springboard twisting crossbody. Jackson came back with an enzuigiri. Jackson did his ropes walk spot, but Mexicano gut-punched him when he went for the arm drag. Mexicano punched Jackson in the gut with a set of knucks. Mexicano hit a big DDT for a long two count. Mexicano used the knucks on Jackson’s skull, but he still couldn’t put him away. Mexicano missed with a swanton bomb. Jackson hit Mexicano in the groin. Ref Mike Pedey ate a clothesline. With the ref down, Jackson hit a hangman neckbreaker and pulled the knucks out of Mexicano’s trunks. Fuller and Daffney reappeared. Jackson decked Fuller, but Daffney was waiting for him with a handful of powder to the eyes. The ref came to. Mexicano pinned Jackson with a fallaway slam. A portion of the crowd popped for the title change.   

(7) New Age Outlaws (BG & Kip James) beat Diamonds in the Rough (David Young & Elix Skipper with Robert Fuller) via DQ at 14:20. Diamonds retained the NWA Wrestle Birmingham tag titles.   Solid match. Big pop for New Age Outlaws. BG was wearing a Maryland Championship Wrestling t-shirt. He did the “welcome to the doghouse” thing introducing Outlaws as the soon-to-be NWA Tag Team Champions of the world. Kip acted like he couldn’t remember his line because it had been too long. He teased Rock and Austin’s tag lines before doing the two words for ya. Skipper showed his athletic ability and got all puffed up about it. Kip hit an impressive tilt-a-whirl slam. Young took a major charging crotch bump into the corner. Diamonds didn’t get the advantage until almost 10 minutes in, when Skipper clubbed BG from behind. BG took heat from Diamonds. Fuller interfered liberally. Young draped BG over the top rope and Skipper flew from the top with a guillotine legdrop. Young missed a moonsault and sold it huge to set up the hot tag. Kip hit the Famouser on Young and Skipper saved with a belt shot for the DQ. BG said “Ebony and Ivory” had to cheat their asses off.   

(8) Samoa Joe beat Christopher Daniels via submission to earn a shot at the Alabama Heavyweight Title in 13:48.  They worked a safe match that built well and told a good story. It didn’t have the heat of Styles/Joe in February. I thought that one was the better of the two matches, mostly because of the heat. Daniels bounced off Joe with a shoulder block. Joe leveled Daniels with a shoulder. Daniels used a drop toe hold to set up a shoulder block that knocked Joe down. Joe took a timeout. Joe fired a series of right hands. But Daniels avoided Joe’s charging knee and took control with a side headlock takeover. Daniels used a roll up and a backslide but couldn’t get more than a one count. Daniels opened up with a leg lariat and a jumping knee. At 6 minutes in, Daniels went for a leapfrog and Joe dropped him on his face. Joe went into to his stiff striking attack. He got a two count with a jumping kneedrop. Joe gave Daniels the facewash and an ungodly looking running knee to the face. Daniels started a comeback. Joe cut him off and hit a senton backsplash for a near fall. Daniels hit an enzuigiri and Joe staggered to one knee. Daniels put Joe down with a shoulder block off the top and covered for two. Joe stopped Daniels dead in his track with a Nodowa for a near fall. Daniels answered with a jawbreaker, but Joe hit his high velocity powerslam for another near fall. Daniels hit an STO to set up the BME, but Joe kicked out. Daniels set up for Angels Wings. Joe escaped. Joe donkey kicked Daniels in the groin, followed with a lariat and choked Daniels out with the Kokina Clutch, same way he beat Styles in February.     

Joe cut a great promo to close the show. Short, to the point, and extremely effective. He grabbed the mic out of Michael St. John’s hand and referred to the fans bucktoothed, inbred SOBs. Joe said he was the baddest man on planet earth. He told the fans to enjoy Roaddog all they could, because there was going to be a new champ come June. “And buy a suit for once in your life, punk.”  

NOTES: The date for the June show has not been finalized…Last night’s show marked the company’s one year anniversary…Ring announcer Dan Masters didn’t make the show. Masters has also given up his position as ring announcer for Deep South Wrestling…Wrestle Birmingham television airs on WB21 in Birmingham Saturday nights at 12:30am…Robert Fuller our guest this week on Wrestling Informer Weekly.
