Georgie,

Heavy on Wrestling had their 2nd show on November 17th in Duluth, MN. From what I understand several things went wrong for the promoter but he covered it up nicely and the presentation came across as one of the best live events I have ever been to. They drew a huge crowd ... well over 700. WWE only drew around 1,000 a few years back during the winter. They had Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Rikishi, Christy Hemme, and several awesome local people. There was an autograph session held before hand which was free unless you wanted to buy a picture provided by the wrestler. Christy and Rikishi were amazing. Jake wasn't quite as outgoing as the others. I went up to talk to the promoter, Heavy D, who I could tell was under a lot of stress while talking with the building manager. However, when I went up to him he completley dropped the stressed out tone and turned around with a smile and shook my hand. What a nice guy! He signed a Heavy D photo and took a pic with me as well. I feel for them guys as Christy had suffered a concussion before flying out, Jake was a bit rude with people, and Rikishi hadn't slept in a day and his ankle was bothering him. For whatever reason, Jake the Snake was switched to a match right before intermission and Rikishi was placed in the main event. Rikishi gave us an amazing show and we can't wait to see him back!!

Results:
Nate Bash defeated Ben Sailer and Joey Envy in a triple threat
Cameron Steele defeated Josh Calisto
The Mad Captain defeated Adrian Lynch
Midget Bad Boy Brian defeated Darin Corbin
Jake "the Snake" Roberts defeated Steve Stardom
Big Brody Hoofer & Allison Wonderland defeated Mitch Paradise & Ann Brookstone w/Christy Hemme as special referee
Rikishi defeated Mike Rollins

After the main event, the promoter, Heavy D, gave Mike Rollin's partner a stink face while Rikishi laughed on. Rikishi, Heavy D, the ref, and a random fan danced to everyone's delight. One of the BEST shows I've ever gone to! Here are some pics...

Thanks for the site! I read it every day!
