RassleResults: EWE Ripley, TN 1.24.09

The first week of EWE starts off with Phoenix X2 facing off with Rhythm and Blues. Phoenix X bows to their opponent, but it doesn’t save them. After a couple of games of rock paper scissors, and a few tests of strength, Rhythm and Blues turned out to be too much for our ninja friends.
Winners: Rhythm and Blues

Commissioner Baker comes out to announce that everyone is witnessing history tonight. The commissioner assures everyone that everything in EWE will be taken care of and done right, and that we have a new President and a new direction. Just before he announces the main event of the evening, Stan Lee comes to the ring. Commissioner Baker announces that he was given Stan Lees release papers, and has won a title shot tonight, but Stan doesn’t want to wait until the main event. The Heavyweight Champion “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony comes out with K.C Gold right behind him. K.C says that this is indeed a historic night, as The Golden Boy is the first EWE Heavyweight champion. He then goes on to say that Stan Lee did in fact earn a title shot, but he never specified what title he would be going for. He then introduces the LAW Heavyweight Champion Idol Bane and he makes his way to the ring. Commissioner Baker tells The Golden Boy has a match tonight himself, then exits the ring as the match starts. There are a ton of fierce hits thrown in this matchup, but as Stan gains control in the match, The Golden Boy comes out to attack Stan, but gets a high flyer off the top rope. As Stan focuses on Greg Anthony, Idol Bane hits his finisher on an unsuspecting Stan Lee to win the match.
Winner and Still LAW Heavyweight Champion: Idol Bane

Chad Bad [aka Steve Rampage] of the Bad Boys comes out next, informing the crowd that he doesn’t know who this “Harry” guy is, but his name is Chad . The crowd has given Chad the nickname “Harry” because of the lawn of hair that grows on his back. As he taunts the crowd a bit more, and brags about the fact that he is undefeated, John Michaels music hits and he makes his way around the ring. He jumps in and gets to work on Chad , bringing him down in quick fashion. After the match, Jon Michael says that even though he has to wait until Valentines Vengeance to get a piece of Dustin Starr, that he will get his, and exits the arena.
Winner: Jon Michael

“The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony takes on a brand new superstar in EWE, Michael Gilbert next. Both men enter the arena, but Commissioner Baker comes out to make one final notation before they begin. If the Golden Boy loses, he must wear a dress next week. The match starts, and there is a burst of energy from this newcomer. Both men have their moments of control where anything could happen, but just as Greg Anthony goes up to the top rope, Stan Lee comes out and gets his attention. Greg comes out of the ring, but Stan throws him right back in, and while Greg talks some smack to Stan, Michael Gilbert grabs him and takes him down for the pin. So next Saturday night, “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony will be wearing a dress as selected by the fans in the crowd.
Winner: Michael Gilbert

“The Future” Dell Tucker comes to the ring for the main event, but before his opponent comes out, Commissioner Baker comes back out and says that since the company was bought out, that everyone’s job could be on the line. Therefore, he has been informed that this match is a loser leaves town match. As soon as that’s said, Cody Melton races to the ring and starts to beat on Dell Tucker. The match goes back and forth just like a see saw until Dell Tucker brings a table into the ring. After a few attempts to put each other through the table set up in the corner of the arena, Cody Melton gains strength and plows Dell through the table. Cody wins the match, but is then stalked by Genocide.
Winner: Cody Melton. Dell Tucker must now leave town.

Just as Genocide is about to start on Cody, Picture Perfect race to the arena to his aid. Everyone starts to go at it until a devastating blow to Chris O’Neal stops everyone cold. Chris is taken to the back as Christian Jacobs goes to work on Genocide, but the tables quickly turn on C.J. After C.J regains his composure and hits a spear for the pin, the ref is dragged out of the ring and the mayhem continues against Christian Jacobs. The Albino Rhino pulls out a set of handcuffs and attaches C.J to the ringpost. Michael Gilbert runs to help C.J but is quickly smacked out of the ring. Ike Tucker also runs to his aid, but to no avail. Cody Melton comes back out only to get assaulted by Genocide. Jon Michael rushes out next and starts whaling on both Albino Rhino and Maxx Corbin only to be brought down by a massive blow. Genocide goes for anyone that can move, but Chris O’Neal runs back out holding his ribs while delivering punch after punch. He takes a swift kick directly to the ribcage and curls up in pain. The Albino Rhino hold Chris while Maxx splashes him, then Commissioner Baker comes to the arena and threatens to suspend Genocide if they keep going. They unleash a few more blows to Chris O’Neal and the commissioner suspends them indefinitely. Commissioner Baker runs up in front of Christian Jacobs just before they’re about to plow into him, and says that if either one touches him, they’re both fired. They have a standoff, then Stan Lee comes out with Michael Gilbert with chairs, making Genocide run out of the ring. They go to the back as the remaining wrestlers tend to Chris O’Neal, who is significantly injured. After he is taken to the back, Commissioner Baker then makes a match for Valentines Vengeance. It will be Picture Perfect vs. Genocide in a street fight. Be sure to make it to Ripley on February 14th for a great matchup.

----60 to 70 in the crowd...As I have said, this group has got criticized for being "too much like Rector" and have not agreed in the past. But...angles like Lee getting a shot at the title, but it was the LAW Title and TGB has to wear a dress - right out of the LAW booking playbook. Not the good plays either. Why put your top heel in a dress?? Jon Michael did this same angle in LAW, but he was working first match trying to get over other babyfaces. This would have been something funny for Rampage...Only my second time to see Michael Gilbert. He is from the Kevin White school and has some potential. He would probably be our first candidate for Rookie of the Year 2009...Thanks to Dustin Williams for results and if you hit the link above you can see all the action from this past week at EWE.
