FINAL RESOLUTION
XOW VS TIWF!!!
The show starts off as usual with Scotty C.coming to the ring. Scotty informs the crowd that he is acting legal counsel for the contract signing tonight. National Anthem is played. Scotty begins to go through the legals of the match and XOW’s music is cued. XOW owner Bill Russ comes to the ring taunting the fans. He says that when XOW wins they will turn the arena into a flea market. Scotty C. brings out Hotrod. Scotty C. then goes through the stipulations of the main event tonight. It will be a 5 on 5 tag team elimination match. You win by Pinfall, submission or DQ by interference. Scotty C. then asks them to introduce their teams.
XOW owner Bill Russ Brings out Manager Tony Watts with valet Little Bit. This is followed by Sarge, Syn, Stunner, AC Styles and Neil Taylor. TIWF Commissioner Hotrod Brings out Lawman, Chico, Dixie, Way Cool. He then announces Wildside but Wildside never comes out. Sarge gets on the mic talking about how they got Wildside’s number off a porn site they own and they contacted him. Sarge said that Wildside was XOW all of the way. You could hear a pin drop in the arena, literally. Then Wildside’s music is cued and he and Ravishing Randy come through the front door to a thunderous reception by the crowd. Scotty C. goes over the rules and regulations one more time with all participants in the ring. Bill Russ and Sarge sidebar, then Sarge makes an announcement that he is too good to have to wrestle in the 5 man. He wants Chico in a one on one match. Chico agrees. Realignment of teams: Ravishing Randy says that he’s ready to fight and pulls out a pair of thongs and announces that he has his wrestling tights. Bill Russ then nominates a reluctant Tony Watts to fill Sarge’s place in the main event.
Teams are reset as follows: XOW: Neil Taylor, AC Styles, Syn, Stunner & Tony Watts w/ Lil’Bit and Bill Russ in corner. TIWF: Lawman Williams, Wildside, Way Cool, Dazzlin’ Dixie and Ravishing Randy with Mamacita & Big Boy Bob in the corner.Scotty gets Hotrod and Bill Russ to sign the contracts. TIWF chants begin from the crowd.
1st match Suicide vs. Tyrant
Another rematch from the previous week, Tyrant came out to a good crowd reaction this week. Suicide still representing XOW. Although Suicide is in the XOW this feud hasn’t factored into the overall angles of the companies. Lots of high flying moves. Missed spot in the match but both covered it up nicely. Both need to focus on working the crowd, overall good match
Winner: Tyrant
TIWF Regional Heavyweight Title Match
2nd Match Sarge O’Reilly vs. Chico Mendoza
Crowd really into this one. Sarge cheating a lot in the beginning. Chico with a huge comeback for the win. Kept this description brief because of the long main event. Chico wins the title.
Winner: Chico Mendoza
Grudge Match
3rd Match TIWF Hotrod vs. XOW Bill Russ
In ring debut of Hotrod. Locked up in the ring. Both actually looked good and worked the crowd. Bill constantly complaining that Hotrod was cheating. Bill actually cheating entire match. Basic moves in this one but very entertaining. The ending saw Bill try to get his briefcase to hit Hotrod. Hotrod picks up the briefcase and is on one side of the ring Bill is far away in the opposite corner. Hotrod bangs the case on the mat. Bill falls down and feigns that he has been hit. Referee turns around and looks and DQ’s Hotrod.
Winner: Bill Russ by DQ

Outlaw seemed to have the crowd behind him in this one. They cheered him most of the way. Kept this description brief due to the lengthy main.
Winner: Outlaw

----A few things I just have to comment on this. #1 – No one does the Invasion angle right!!! You got to put over the XOW to make it mean something. Maybe they have other shows booked, but if this group drew 286 [and I was told by a few people already – there was no way they had that many people in the building], then the angle was working and they killed it too soon. You get that many in the building for the angle, you don’t do a blow off yet – XOW wins and maybe you get even more for the real blow off…I am also being really picky here, since I cannot judge the Russ/Hotrod bout, because I have not seen it – but I hate it when indy groups try to pull off stuff like this – Vince McMahon pulled it off because he could work. And this is coming from experience on my part – I did a feud with “Real” Kayte. It ended up in a barbwire match with Rod Dent III vs Coach BT vs Kayte. Guess what?? It sucked!! It was the drizzlin shits and probably turned off some fans. You can say what you want about my wrestling, manager, booking or promoting skills – if it sucked – I knew it sucked and didn’t do it again. I wrestled for 18 months and knew that I could NOT pull it off no matter what I tried – so instead of still working and making a fool out of wrestling and myself – I did not do it anymore…What do I freakin know anyway?? LOL Hell, this group has the best chance to win Promotion of the Year with the move to Trenton, TN being so positive. No one will ever remember they cut the XOW feud off earlier after a couple of weeks.
