Countdown to ASWF Anniversary - Tomorrow Night In Tuckerman, AR!!

----Let me first say – I have no “inside” word on what is happening on Saturday night. That is the way that I like it though. I like to be kayfabed about the finishes and such until the end of the show. So, let’s look at the Anniversary show for Saturday night.

*“Gauntlet for the Gold”-winner gets a contract for a title shot but the catch is that the winner has to defend the contract 24/7...participants-AC Styles,Cody Only,Mike Anthony,Cody Murdock,Seth Sabre,Mark Wolfe and 2 mystery guests.
----Not sure who is going here, but the winner will be a challenger for the belt, so I look for a heel to win. The contract will then be “up” 24/7, which a creative stip. So, the winner match may not come out with it by the end of the night.

*Scott Fury vs. Justin Smart
----Not sure where they are going with this, but this could be the best pure wrestling match on the show. Fury is good and Smart was a bit green when I last seen him, but Smart has improved. I would go with Fury here.

*ASWF Tag Team Championship-Wild Bill/Demon X(c) vs. “American Degenerates”[Morgan Lane/X-Kalibur].
----This probably going to be a title change with AD taking the belts. X/Lane are above average workers and should be able to have a decent match here.

*“Free for All” for the X-Division Title [ASWF’s version of the ultimate x]-Ray Ray(c) vs. Tommy Wayne vs. Matt Boyce
----This could be the show stealer if they work psychology into the gimmick of the match. I look for Boyce to over because of the push he is getting.

* Fatal Fourway Heavyweight Title Match-Chuck Fears(c) vs. Casino Kid vs. Blalok the Blazor vs. Reno Diamond
----If this is not either THE MATCH aka the show stealer, then I will be disappointed. Diamond/Blazor will do crazy moves along with Fears/Kid they should have exciting match. Psychology and putting the moves where they belong will be the key to having a great match. I look for Fears to stay champ, unless they are going to use Diamond on a regular basis.

* Nikki Lane vs. Traci Brooks
----This should be a basic bout and I have heard that Lane has approved a lot. Both girls like each other a lot and will do everything they can do to have a good match. I look for Brooks to go over.

*Austin Lane vs. Brian Christopher
----Last minute change to the show beyond ASWF's control has Lane's opponent vs Brian C. Expect a lot of comedy and just a basic bout. I look for Brian going over by DQ.
