RassleResults: NIWA Union City, TN 9.29.07

In the opening match, Too Kool 2 (playing the part of the babyfaces) defeated Derrick King and Dustin "Five" Star with Tim and Flex combining for a double-team move that looked like a combo of a bodyslam/diamond cutter. TK2 left right after their match for Evansville. Not sure what type of card they are on up there but apparently they are booked for tomorrow or something. This match could have been a main event anywhere in this area and was worth 3 1/2 stars in my opinion.

In the second bout, a skinny guy in a robe (didn't catch his name) defeated Gaylon Ray after the skinny guy's manager hit him with her high heeled shoe. Funny spot at the end as the lady was on the ring apron to hit Gaylon Ray off an irish whip. He ran in too fast and knocked her into the front row.

In the third match, Tat2 defeated Tim Alonzo with a frog-splash. Match had some high points but was full of botched spots and some way off targets kicks that were sold.

Match No. 4 had Kilo defeating Mark Justice with a superkick. Kilo carried the match. In my humble opinion if he would work on his "look" and muscle tone he could make a living wrestling every night of the week somewhere.

In the main event, Jerry Lynn defeated "All" That Allen Steele. The music guy played "Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer as Steele came out and berated him for playing that as his music. Then he said Jerry Lynn wasn't man enough to take him on and off course JL came out and it was on. Lynn played the part of the beaten down Ricky Morton-style babyface and the crowd was hot for this match. Finish saw Lynn winning with a sunset flip.

----I was told there were probably only about 25 to 30 paid with 60 people with in the building. Probably around $300 gate…No money was made on this show. Sir MO was the promoter… They were running against the CornFest concert in UC featuring country music superstar Craig Morgan, which may contributed to the low crowd…Main event was given [****]. Despite the small crowd Lynn worked hard….Dustin Starr was seen watching the Steele/Lynn bout...Who was the guy that worked Gaylon Ray???
