NWA Birmingham, GCW, Championship Wrestling and EWF…..

NWA Birmingham Report from Larry Goodman  9/22.....
NWA Wrestle Birmingham returned to Zamora Temple in Irondale, Alabama
with "A Night of Star Spangled Banners," a tribute to the US soldier.
The show, which featured discount tickets for active military
personnel, was headlined by Jeff Jarrett defending the NWA title
against Dennis Condrey with Jim Cornette in his corner, and drew in
the neighborhood of 400 people. With a match that never took place and
two DQ finishes at the top of the card, it was definitely a show
intended to build for the future.

Prematch musical entertainment was provided by the Flames, a
countryish band fronted by Wrestle Birmingham television host Larry Lloyd.

The show opened with a 10 bell salute in honor of Ricky Gibson.

American flags were stationed on each ringpost and in the center of
the ring. Jimmy "Cowboy" Powell (not to be confused with Dirty White
Boy) gave a patriotic speech and did a beautiful a cappella rendition
of the national anthem.

(1) River D'Angelo beat El Mexicano in 8:44. D'Angelo cut a
prematch promo in Spanish. Then he insulted the crowd in English. Then
we were forced to watch D'Angelo try to wrestle. It finally dawned on
me as to why D'Angelo gets booked on these shows: he makes all the
other workers look so amazingly talented. It was freaking horrible
until Mexicano made an athletic comeback. They brawled on the outside.
D'Angelo took over again. He did the worst bulldog in the history of
Alabama wrestling. D'Angelo blatantly fed Mexicano his head for a DDT.
Mexicano went up top for a missile dropkick, but D'Angelo pulled
special ref "Enforcer" Bill Franklin into its path. Tried to at least.
Mexicano connected, knocking Franklin out of the ring. D'Angelo
blindsided Mexicano and pinned him with a Michinoku driver.

Postmatch, Franklin confronted D'Angelo. Franklin and Mexicano gave
D'Angelo a double backdrop. Then Franklin got into it with Mexicano.
Ref Mike Pedey had to restrain Franklin. 

(2) Chase Stevens beat James Storm in 23:50. The show stealer.
It was like a taking trip back in time to Bert Prentice show at the
Nashville Fairgrounds, only better, because the wrestling in this
match was major league. They did a marvelous job of manipulating the
crowd's emotions. The wrestling flowed the way it does with veteran
guys that have worked together many times. Storm came out swigging on
his beer bottle and cut a heel promo. The sound system made it
difficult to hear, but Storm has such a strong presence that it got
major heat. Fans chanted "cowgirl" at Storm. Stevens picked up on it
and made the inevitable Brokeback Mountain reference. Storm started to
bail out on the match. Everyone was having a good time including Storm
and Stevens. Storm pulled hair and hid behind ref Mike Pedey. Storm
got more heat doing double biceps poses. Stevens made a fiery
comeback. They did a comedy sequence where Pedey and Stevens teamed up
for a double hiptoss on Storm. Crowd chanted "he's hardcore" at Pedey.
After more buffoonery from Storm, things got serious when Storm kicked
Stevens in the groin on an up and over move. Storm grounded Stevens
with a sleeper and used the ropes for extra leverage. Storm hit the
Eye of the Storm for a near fall. Stevens started beating Storm to the
punch. Storm kept going down. Stevens comeback built to a moonsault,
but Storm rolled out of the way. Storm connected with a superkick, but
he was slow to cover and Stevens kicked out. Storm wedged a chair
between the turnbuckles. Storm hit a double underhook side slam for a
near fall. Storm went to the top. Stevens shook the ropes to crotch
Storm. Stevens hit a superplex. Both men down for a long count to six.
Storm kicked out of Stevens' delayed cover. Stevens brought Storm off
the top with a stunner for a great near fall. A minor ref bump bought
Storm just enough time to slam Stevens' head into the wedged chair.
Stevens kicked out for another false finish. Storm tried to use the
beer bottle. Pedey blocked it. Stevens surprised Storm with a roll up
and Pedey made a quick three count. Really a fun match.

Daffney entered the ring for her match with Mike Jackson accompanied
by "Tennessee Stud" Robert Fuller. She was busting out of her "Million
Dollar Baby" robe. Daffney is supposed to be the heel in this feud but
the crowd adores her. Jackson's music played. Just like last time, he
was nowhere to be found. Daffney flapped her arms like a chicken.
Fuller said he wasn't one to speculate, but he was going to do it
anyway. Fuller suggested that Jackson either a) got drunk and said the
wrong thing to a big redneck or b) got inebriated so the beating
wouldn't hurt so much an ended up in a ditch. Out came NWA official
Roy Lee Welch. He didn't believe Jackson would no show, because
Jackson had called him every day this week. Welch said he was going to
Jackson some time to show up. That mad Fuller hot. Daffney egged
Fuller on by asking if Welch wasn't his cousin. Fuller said, "There's
illegitimacy in the Welch family, because you ain't no cousin of
mine." Classic stuff.

Intermission. Cornette and Condrey signed autographs.

(3) Diamonds in the Rough (David Young & Elix Skipper) beat Scott
White & Johnny Slaughter to retain the NWA Alabama tag titles in
14:12.
White wrestled as Scott Fantastic for Deep South. Slaughter
replaced A. J. Steele. White got into a leg kicking contest with
Skipper. Not a good idea. The crowd popped when Diamonds cleared the
ring. Diamonds were on and the crowd was into their cool offense. When
the babyfaces cleared the ring and tried to play to the crowd, you
could have heard a pin drop. A lot of White's kicks and aerial moves
lacked authority. Slaughter took over and his stuff looked a lot
better. Young took a page out of Skipper's book with a springboard
lariat on Slaughter that was right on the money. Diamonds doubled on
Slaughter. The crowd started feeling it for the babyfaces. Skipper got
near falls with a slingshot corkscrew splash and double underhook
suplex. Young draped Slaughter over the top rope and Skipper nailed
him with a guillotine legdrop. Diamonds bumped like crazy when White
got the hot tag. Slaughter hit a flip dive onto Diamonds. They did a
round robin of big moves. Skipper gave White an Air Raid Crash.
Slaughter hit an awesome northern lights suplex on Skipper. Four-way
action ensued. Diamonds pinned White with a double atomic facebuster.

(4) Daffney (with Fulller) retained the NWA Alabama junior title
over Mike Jackson via count out.
Fuller and Daffney came out
again. Daffney strutted around holding the belt over her head. Still
no Jackson. "Make the 10 count and we can forget about Mike Jackson in
Birmingham from now on," ordered Fuller. The ref was bald mullet guy.
I don't think he ever did make the count. Daffney called Jackson a
geritol drinking, AARP card carrying something or other.

(5) Brad Armstong (with the Bullet) beat McNasty (with Fuller) via
DQ in 11:43. McNasty retained the NWA Alabama heavyweight title.

Brad looked fine in one his final indie appearances prior to starting
with ECW (he's finishing up with a double shot for TNT Pro today in
the Atlanta area). He replaced the advertised B. G. James. The
stipulation was that Fuller would be handcuffed to Bullet. Fuller
promised not to interfere if Welch would forgo the handcuffs. Welch
said it was either handcuffs or forfeit the belt. Fuller made a big
production out of the handcuffs being too tight. Great stuff. It was
the power of McNasty early. Brad gave McNasty a backdrop and McNasty
bailed. Brad brought McNasty back in the hardway. But Brad ate a boot
that crossed his running lights and McNasty leveled him with a lariat.
McNasty played soccer with Brad's midsection. McNasty was channeling a
bit of Crazy Luke Graham here. The crowd got behind Brad. McNasty sold
an uppercut with a bump over the top rope. Brad bashed McNasty into
the ringsteps. Back inside, Brad used the Russian legsweep and a
follow up elbow drop for a near fall. Brad applied the figure four
leglock but couldn't put McNasty away. The ref got bumped. Brad
reapplied the figure four. McNasty tapped but the ref was still down.
Diamonds jumped on Brad. McNasty released Fuller from the handcuffs,
and Fuller clobbered Bullet. Daffney was out there as well.

A police car pulled up inside the building. Jackson jumped out and
headed for the ring. Jackson was in torn up street clothes with blood
caked on his face. He was also bleeding from a gash on his leg.
Jackson cleaned house on Diamonds with a piece of a pole.

Welch came out and said that Daffney would have to face Jackson at the
next show. Jackson was on the verge of being overcome with emotion.
Jackson said he was tired of the same crap every time. Jackson said he
would drive 500 miles to get his hands on Fuller. Jackson said Stud's
Stable stole the belt from him and he was holding Welch to his word.

A second intermission was followed by more music from the Flames. Even
with only five matches, the show was over 3 hours long before the main
event got in the ring.

(6) Dennis Condrey (with Jim Cornette) beat Jeff Jarrett (with
Ronnie P. Gossett) via DQ in a match for the NWA World Heavyweight
Title (10:53).
There was a long delay before Jarrett made his
entrance. Cornette grabbed the mic and told Jarrett to get his sorry
ass out there to take his whipping. Gossett cut a promo referring to
Birmingham as the "sewer of the South." Cornette skewered Gossett with
a series of fat jokes. "You've got more chins than a Chinese
phonebook. You don't have a waistline, you've got a coastline. Your
bathtub has stretchmarks. You must have your own gravitational pull."
Cornette said Condrey would send Jarrett back to Nashville with his
tail tucked between his legs. "And that would be the only thing
between your legs." They let the heat build for a couple of minutes
before locking up. Jarrett staggered Condrey with a pair of punches,
and a haymaker put him on the canvas. Jarrett pounded away. Condrey
was using the ropes to stay up. Condrey raked the Jarrett's eyes,
blasted him with four punches, and mocked Jarrett's strut. Condrey
decked Jarrett with a closed fist. Cornette told ref Johnny Boone it
was an open hand. Condrey dumped Jarrett and signaled that he was
taking it to the balcony. The crowd popped, hoping for a replay of
what Condrey did to Lee Thomas. Jarrett had other ideas. He mule
kicked Condrey in the groin. Jarrett threw Condrey into the lobby and
rammed him into the heavy wood door. Condrey tossed Boone through a
section of chairs. Jarrett ran Condrey into the post. Jarrett
continued his assault to where it looked like Condrey was down and
out. Condrey was selling a helluva lot more than in any of his other
Zamora Temple matches. Jarrett applied the sleeper. The crowd broke
out the "go, Dennis, go" chant. Condrey started blocking Jarrett's
shots and firing back. Cornette gave Jarrett a tennis racquet thrust
to the throat. Jarrett gave Condrey a low blow. Cornette jumped up on
the apron. Jarrett slugged Cornette and grabbed the racquet. Jarrett
used the racket on Condrey while Boone's back was turned and tucked it
into the back of his trunks. Boone made the three count. Boone won a
tug of war with Jarrett over the racquet. Condrey schoolboyed Jarrett
and Cornette made a three count. When Gossett came over to protest,
Cornette decked him. Boone listened to the fans and DQed Jarrett for
using the racquet. Heavy booing commenced when Jarrett was announced
as still being the champ. Kind of disappointing, but it was a
difficult task living up to the expectations set by Condrey's previous
singles matches here.
NOTES: No return date was announced. Fans were advised to watch the
Wrestle Birmingham TV show on WTTO 21 Saturdays at 11:30 pm for further
info…Daffney and Ronnie P. Gossett were the featured guests on the
9/20 edition of Wrestling Informer Weekly. Both interviews are
archived here…I believe this was the first Wrestle Birmingham show
that didn't feature Michael St. John on the play-by-play. A host of
folks had a hand in the commentary including ring announcer Michael
Christopher, Powell and Gossett.
