Match by match results from the National Wrestling Superstars event at the Ridgefield Park Knights of Columbus Hall on Saturday, February 16, 2008.

Match 1-David vs Goliath Match

Blade Michaels (with King I Do Stink) def Jumpin Joey Janella

Referee Sgt. Jimmy Storm

Joey Janella, filling in for the missing Mighty Mikey Pacifica. Michaels and Stink said it didn’t matter if it was Pacifica, Janella or even Gino Moore, they promised a quick victory and a severe beating on their opponent. Perhaps they should have paid attention to the match because while Michaels expected a quick victory, it was anything but quick as Janella caught Michaels with quite a few surprising moves that had the big man off his feet several times during the match. However, at the end, unlike the story in the Bible, the Big Man defeated the Little Man for the win.

Match 2-Three Way Dance

Antonio Malave, Damian Creed and Sabotage

Referee Mike “Quick Count” Dillon

NWS has always recognized and appreciated the cruiserweights and these three put on one of the most spectacular events seen anywhere, anytime. Creed was the first eliminated, which left Malave and Sabotage who continued the bout for nearly 5 minutes before Sabotage scored the pin in Malave. Fans applauded both wrestlers at the end of the match and the wrestlers shook hands as a sign of respect.

Interruption

As ring announcer Dapper Johnny Falco was introducing the third bout, out came the whistle-blowing Sal Sincere along with other managers on the card Gigolo Jones and Comrade Chow. Sincere wanted to know why they would book him against someone named “Pastor George” (asking “shouldn’t he be home preparing his sermon for Sunday church?”). Dinero had a copy of the poster from the evening that announced him against Brutus Beefcake. He told everyone he was “not going to wrestle any friend of Hogan” and especially in a loser gets a haircut match. Commissioner Gino Moore pulled out the contract and had security bring it to ringside to show him he had indeed signed the contract and the match was on or he would never wrestle for NWS again. Then Sincere and Dinero warned Jones and Chow to watch what they sign for their charges because if they don’t read the fine print, they could wind up in situations they never expected. Commissioner Moore ordered security to escort them from the ring.

Match 3--Singles bout

Boris Nobica (with Comrade Chow) def JP Pierce (with Goomba Johnny Diamond)

Referee: Local referee Al Richards (who is in no way related to a former associate named “Fred”)

Pierce, who had a decisive weight and size advantage over the man from the former Soviet Union, but with his Comrade outside the ring, it was more of a 2 on 1 handicap match than a singles competition. Even with Goomba Johnny outside, Nobica and Chow were able to distract the new referee enough to make the match competitive. At the end, Diamond was arguing with NWS officials about the types of referees they allow into the company. While this was going on, Chow used the flag on Pierce, allowing Nobica to score the win.

Match 4--3 on 2 Handicap Match

JD Smooth, Nicky Oceans and Cory Havoc, with Sal Sincere, Julio Dinero and Gigolo Jones versus Fred “Bonecrusher” Sampson and Rhett Titus (with Goomba Johnny Diamond)

Referee Mike Dillon

Before the start of the match, Gino sent Sincere and Dinero back to the locker room telling them “you are not signed for the match, you don’t have a manager’s license and I’ve seen how you’re blatant interference can influence a match, so security, get them away from my ring”. Jones told them he had everything under control and told the crowd that he had the greatest team ever assembled. He pointed out that Smooth is the NWS Cruiserweight champion, Oceans is the NWS Jersey Shore champion, tag team champion and FwF Cruiserweight champion, and that Havoc was the #1 contender for the NWS Jersey Heavyweight champion. How could they lose? Then out came Titus and Sampson who looked Jones in the face and said “How? We’ll show you” and the match was on. This was a very competitive match, despite the 3 on 2 with the referee keeping the managers under control, allowing the wrestlers to keep the action going. Lots of in and out of ring excitement and after nearly 12 minutes, it looked like both teams were ready to try to secure the win. That’s when Titus threw Oceans and Smooth out of the ring and launched himself from the top corner onto them. While this was going on, Sampson scored the pin on Havoc. When Sampson and Titus were being announced as the winner, Dinero, Sincere, Michaels, and Nobica came to the ring, joining Oceans, Smooth, Havoc and Jones in beating down Sampson and Titus. Commissioner Moore called for help from the back and out came Joey Janella who was thrown over the top rope (lawn dart style) and landed near the second row. Finally, Diamond went to the back and brought out Beefcake, Pastor George and JP Pierce came to the rescue and order was restored.

Intermission

There was a 20 minute intermission where fans could meet the wrestlers. Dapper Johnny Falco also pointed out that 3-Count Promotions was selling copies of past shows and that this is a “must” for all NWS and true wrestling fans.

Match 5-Singles bout--Salvatore Sincere (with Miss Michelle) versus Pastor George

Referee Sgt. Jimmy Storm

Sincere, using his whistle reiterated his comment “shouldn’t you be getting your sermon ready for Sunday Mass?” and Pastor extolled the virtue of sin and that a pretty face, like that of his manager, will not get anyone to the Promised Land. Sincere then attacked Pastor George, but George, who told Sincere “I don’t need a manager, I have a Higher Power watching over me” was able to reverse the attack and spend the first few minutes of the match dominating the former WWE star (known to some as “Pinky”). This is where the benefit of a live manager comes in as Miss Michelle kept taunting the Pastor, allowing Sincere to gain control of the match. Sincere, using his whistle that he hid deep in his tights (no wonder the referee couldn’t find it). Once the referee found the object and took it away, George and Sincere got down to wrestling. Sincere threw George outside the ring and Miss Michelle again started teasing the Pastor, but he had had enough and started chasing her around the ring. When he rounded the 4^th corner, Sincere was there waiting for him and Sincere threw him back in the ring and scored the 1-2-3 for the win.

Match #6. Main Event--Julio Dinero with Miss Michelle and King I Do Stink vs former WWE legend Brutus The Barber Beefcake

Referee Kenny Edwards

Julio, Michelle and Stinky told NWS they had the lawyer from their top legal firm (Dewey Cheetem and Howe) review the contract and there was an “I” missing from Dinero’s name which made the contract null and void. Commissioner Moore said “the only ‘I’ see is an idiot in a dress (referring to Stink) who couldn’t hold a job in a law firm for more than a week trying to get over” and said “somebody’s getting a haircut”. That’s when Beefcake’s music hit and he came strutting out with his big pair of scissors for a big haircut. Julio and Michelle hid their pretty long locks telling Beefcake “we don’t have long hair so we can’t get it cut”. Finally, the match got underway and the Dinero seemed to have much of the match going his way and looked like it was going to be an easy victory. Julio put Beefcake on the ropes and distracted the referee, allowing Michelle and Stink to choke the former WWE star. After nearly 10 minutes, Beefcake found the strength and savvy to come back and caught Dinero in a sleeper. When he went to give the former TNA/ECW star a haircut, Miss Michelle stood in front of him and pleaded “no, don’t do it”. While this was going on, Stink snuck in from behind and tried hitting Beefcake, but the wily was too smart and caught the manager in a sleeper, much to the delight of the fans. While this was going on, Miss Michelle got Dinero out of the ring, so Beefcake cut the locks of the King to send the crowd home happy.
