Outdoor Event
After the rain separated the true believers from the weak-spirited, 120 TXW faithful remained after a quick shower to see a fast paced show that had it's fair share of amazing maneuvers , anger, laughter, grossness, and even a sad moment.
1) In the first match, Barry Allen and Dave "The Science" Pillman squared off in an amusing match that got the show started on the right foot. After the bout, Pillman addressed the crowd and thanked them for attending even though it rained, and then left his boots in the ring. He stated that he loved the business, but it was time for him to retire. We are honored that Dave Pillman chose to retire at a TXW show... but we wish the canvas didn't smell like gouda cheese now.
2) In another interleague promotional fight, the SAW Intercontinental Championship had the Champion Skeeter Godwin defeating the up and coming newcomer Drew Haskins with a reverse DDT (Slop Drop) to retain the IC belt.
3) Demetria bounced out to a Hanna Montana tune and got the young girls in the audience excited, but upon further inspection, Demetria supporters throughout the fight waned. Violet Adams once again had control of this match, but Demetria pulled something from her "Happy Stuff" area and clobbered Violet for the 1...2...3
At intermission, Commisioner Billy Marshall demanded that the Forsaken Angels Guild return the Tag Team Titles that they stole while appearing together on the "New Knoxville Wrestle Talk" show. At first, they refused, but after Billy reached the count of 2 and a half, the #1 Contenders forked over the belts and started sobbing uncontrollably.
4) Former KAPOW champion Shane Andrews pinned Shawn Schultz in an exciting match, but the victory was sweet for only moments. The Black List then hit the ring and gave Andrews a vicious beating. TXW called to the back for help, but no one came to the aid of "The Prodigy". Has the Black List already intimidated the TXW locker room??? After the match, Schultz towered over Andrews and yelled, "Thanks for the benefit show, Shane!"
5) Funkmaster V won by DQ over Bob O Mac for the second month in a row, providing documentation that claimed Bob did not take a mandated drug test. Referee James Malenko rang the bell before TXW ownerJerry Tipton could tell him that there was no such drug test, but the decision could not be overturned. Tipton then said Bob O Mac can wrestle in the Battle Royal and he hoped he would get revenge on Funkmaster V.
6) The Black List (Allen Sheppard & Justin O'Day) took on the smaller but faster Bobby Blassie and J-Mac. This exciting match went back and forth, but O'Day rolled up Bobby Blassie for the 3 count as the former tag champion was being distracted by Shawn Schultz. Oh, yeah, you better believe that O'Day had a handful of tights for the pin, as well.
7) In the Semi-Main Event, the Undefeated TXW Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lee took on newcomer Devon Drake and pinned him after a Chokeslam. Drake did not like the fact that he was pinned in the middle of the ring and has demanded a rematch be signed for next month.
8) In the Main Event, 20+ TXW Superstars took to the ring in a Battle Royal for the vacant Tag Team Championships. The Black List showed up and clapped for the wrestlers from the first row, and they eventually had to be threatened with a suspension by Commissioner Billy Marshallbefore they decided to wrestle. After 10 minutes of thrills and spills, the final 5 were both members of the Forsaken Angels Guild, Sgt AWOL of the Urban Militia, Bob O Mac, and Juggalo Drake. After several minutes of brawling in the ring, "Ravishing" Ryan Luther was dumped over the top rope and the odd team of Bobby Rayne (Forsaken Angels Guild) and Sgt AWOL (Urban Militia)[pictured with the belts] were awarded the Tag Team Championships with a warning: You must defend the Tag Titles like a regular tag team, or you will be suspended.
