This was the First show of August for M.E.W.A Wrestling. The weather was HOT outside, but the action inside the ring was even HOTTER.
The First Match of the night was “The Suicide King” Ray Ray taking on newcomer Gary Diamond. The challenger Gary Diamond was set on proving himself worthy of joining M.E.W.A. Ray Ray still having his sights on regaining the M.E.W.A Light Heavy Weight Title, he may have over looked Diamond in the beginning of the match. That did not last long with Diamond giving all he had and taking Ray Ray to the limit with his owe High-Flying Move’s. After a long hard battle Gary Diamond was able to get the pin-fall in 15:12.
Second Match of the night was rematch from the past with “Crazy” Luke Graham Jr. being challenged by “Bigg” Al. The match got off to a slow start with Graham having alot of problems with crowd as they chanted “CRAZY”, it was deafening inside the gym. Al used this to advance by kicking and stomping on Graham, using his very powerful move's in which he is known for. It didn’t last long, for Graham grounded the big man and use his submission style of wrestling which Graham is famous for. Luke went to work on Bigg Al’s weaken left knee, and use it to get the upper hand. Al fought a very hard match with Graham, but in the end with “Crazy” Luke Graham Jr. using his 20 plus year’s of experience he has in wrestling got the victory in 13:31.
After the match was finished General Manager Johnny Hawk had requested some microphone time. Hawk came to the ring and called out Chris Stryker to the ring. Hawk announced to the crowd that Stryker was retiring from wrestling, due the fact that he a M.P in the Arkansas National Guard and is being deployed to Iraq soon. While Hawk and Stryker were in the ring telling the fans how proud M.E.W.A is of having him with us. Ray Ray attacked Stryker inside the ring. Stryker was able to get the best of Ray, making him run to the back. After Ray high-tailed it to the back, the fans were chanting U.S.A, U.S.A, U.S.A, showing there love and respect to such a brave young man. Once Stryker had left the ring Hawk the called “The Suicide King” back to the ring, Hawk told Ray he was going to be fired for his actions and lack of respect for a local Hero. Ray decided to attack General Manager Johnny Hawk, in which was a very stupid idea since Hawk is retired and one of the most dangerous men in M.E.WA. Hawk made short work of the attack by Ray Ray decided to run yet again from the ring. Ray yelled “I Want You Old Man” to Hawk which was still standing tall inside the ring. Johnny Hawk accepted his challenge and will come out of retirement to face Ray in a “No D.Q Match” next week.
The Semi-Main of the night was yet another match in the on going war between Johnny Harper and Danger Zone’s “Hot Rod” John Ellison. Harper quickly ground Ellison so he was unable to use his “High Impact” moves he loves to use on his opponents. These two men were giving all they had to each other, until “The Suicide King” Ray Ray ran into the ring and attacked Johnny Harper. The Ref. tried to regain control, but soon Gary Diamond entered the ring followed by “Bigg” Al, and then by the Casino Kid. The match had only lasted 6:25, so the Ref. under direction from General Manager Johnny Hawk made it a “6 Way Elimination Match.
So the Main Event was changed to a “6 Way Elimination Match. “ The teams for this match-up were Casino Kid, Johnny Harper, and Gary Diamond being challenged by “Hot Rod” John Ellison, “Bigg” Al, and “The Suicide King” Ray Ray. This match was out of control from the start for only one man to handle. There were illegal tags, two and three beating on one man at a time during the match. “Bigg” Al was the first man eliminated from the match. Gary Diamond was the next man out, followed by Ray Ray. So that left “Hot Rod” John Ellison to face The Casino Kid and Johnny Harper in a 2 on 1 match. The fans went crazy when Casino and Harper used the “Target Drop” {which is Danger Zone's finishing move} to get the win over Ellison in a time of 9:57. After the match was over The Casino Kid asked for the microphone, he went on to say that since he was unable to compete due to him having a concussion from the match two weeks ago with Danger Zone, he demanded that next week the Batesville Street Fight to go down. During all this G.M Johnny Hawk had came inside the ring and was listening to Casino tell all the fans he was sorry for letting them down last week. Hawk decided to make the match and announced that it would be a Title VS Titles VS Hair Match with no D.Q’s, where falls count anywhere. Casino went on to ask G.M Johnny Hawk that there be Two Refs so there could be a clear winner. Casino and Harper went on to talk about that they may pin Danger Zone outside in the dumpster, or in the street, where ever they decide to.
So next week Casino Kid and Johnny Harper will face Danger Zone {“Hot Rod” John Ellison and “Dangerous” Dave Cox} in a Batesville Street Fight.
Next week will also be the return another Indy Legend, as Johnny Hawk will face “The Suicide King” Ray Ray in a} No D.Q Match.
Even with carnival going on 242 people braved the heat and see what could be one of the “Biggest” night M.E.W.A Wrestling has or will ever seen again.
