RassleResults: TLCW Ripley, TN 8.25.07

THE RESULTS

Seth Knight beat Mark Bravara…Tim Grind won the Battle Royal to name a new #1 Contender for the TLCW Championship…Rockin' Randy beat Rude (New TLCW Extreme Champion)…Tim Grind beat Dustin Starr/Playboy Matt Foley (Handicap Match]…The Posse [Lil Chris/Simon Reed] beat “Hot Topic” [Derrick King/Stan Lee]

NOTES FROM THE SHOW

The Savior made an appearance at the end of the opening match. He attacked Seth Knight, placed him in the corner with a chair over his face, and smashed him with another chair. Seth's motionless body was dragged to the center of the ring as a symbolic sacrifice for the sins of TLCW.

Tim Grind was no fan of Five Starr Unplugged. Just a minute or so into Dustin's version of ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man", Tim Grind cleared the ring.

The final two contestants in the Battle Royal were Tim Grind and Derrick King. The crowd went nuts. Despite being hit with a superkick at one point, Tim was able to eliminate Derrick.

Genocide(Max Corbin, Albino Rhino) came to the ring during Rhythm & Blues' (Brian Steele, Ike Tucker) interview, and said they would give R&B a title shot when they were ready. Genocide appeared to be leaving the ring when they turned an attacked R&B with the tag team belts. Before order could be restored, Genocide injured the legs of both members of R&B.

Chris Lexx apologized to Dell Tucker for his actions last week. Tucker accepted, but as the former tag champs shook hands, Lexx assaulted Tucker. Lexx then sent Tucker head first into the steel ring post. Tucker was left laying with a stream of blood running down his face. Then, Dustin Starr came out and handed Lexx a fist full of dollars. Tucker's injury meant Tim Grind had no tag team partner for the match later. Another Five Starr plan had apparently worked.

Rockin' Randy beat Rude for the Extreme Title, but he did it with help from the outside. Chris Rocker came out of nowhere to attack Rude and cost him the Extreme Title.

The Posse beat Hot Topic by hitting Derrick King with a skateboard. The referee was down at the time and did not see that. This was a wrestling match not a streetfight. Before the match, The Posse added a stipulation that if they won, Hot Topic would be their "bitches."

BT NOTES

----There were about 120 in the audience with a gate close to $720…I was surprised to see Chris Rocker show up here, because he has been working for NBW in Dyerburg…Glad to see Randy with the belt back…Lexx/Tucker sounds good, but a little rushed…Posse/HT feud still seems fun. It will be interesting to see what direction they go in it for now…Tim Grind is now #1 Contender for “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony’s title. I do not know the direction they are going, but it looks like it will involved a three way of TGB/Grind/Starr…The angle with The Savior looks real good and a bit different. I don’t think Jon Michael is being referred to as “Jon Michael” here –only The Savior, so that is what he will be called in the results.
