What a show we had tonight! Over 230+ people in the building for ASWF's Fright Fest 2009. A special thanks to Mayz End who performed before our show started. Our show would begin with Rickey Rowland calling local kids out of the crowd to hold the flag for the playing of the National Anthem.
Tonight would start with Seth Sabor challenging The Enforcer to a Hardcore Match. The Enforcer stated that Sabor was not worthy, but if he could pin him tonight he would allow a match to take place. Commissioner Rowland would approve of the matches and the match would begin.
The Enforcer would dominate this match using his veteran ring experience. Sabor would make what looked to be a promising return, but would receive a face full of powder. Then The Enforcer would go for the pin and win the match.
Our next match of the night would help set the bar. Mark Wolf would take on "Big Rig" Cody Murdoch. These two are no strangers as Mark has given Cody a run for his money before. Murdoch would take control of the match early as to not lose the match. However, to Murdoch's suprise Mark would counter with a spear and unleash alot of energy. But the energy would not be enough as Cody Murdoch would again take home the victory.
The third match of the night was for the X-Division Title in a House of Horrors Match. Tommy Wayne(C) would take on "The Renegade Superstar" Christopher Lee. Tommy would get away with being unfair as the rules for the match was no disqualification. Athena would stick her nose in a few times but at no avail. Finally Lee would have enough and take a chain to the skull of Tommy Wayne and pin him for the win and the title.
Our intermission would include a Costume Contest for all ages. A couple of Superstars would even show off their costumes. LSD was the NWO (Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hulk Hogan), Cody Murdoch was Velvet Thunder, Terrence Ward was Jim Ross, and Jimmy Rhodes was Skipper from Gilligans Island.
After the contest and fun was over at intermission, Vinny Ramano and Joshua Cross would take to the ring and try to weasel out of the LSD Death Match yet to come. However, LSD had found them a third partner...Sancho Libre, but Sancho would be taken out by LSD and leave them one short once again.
The fourth match tonight was a Casket Match. X-Kaliber would take on his brother "Mr. Muscle" Morgan Williams. X-Kaliber would take control over his younger brother. But, again, Athena Eclipse would help add to the situation but would recieve a Muscle Cutter for her involvement.
But when he would turn around he would receive a shot to the head by X-Kaliber with a foreign object. X-Kaliber would place him in the casket and win the match.
Demon X with Johnny Hawk would take to the ring this time to challenge Michael Myers. Demon X would be on the ball and performing at his best in the beginning. But just as you see in the movies never turn your back on Michael Myers.
What Demon X didn't see is that Austin Lane WAS Michael Myers. Austin would start dominating the match. Hawk was bound and determined to stop him cold. But Austin would prevail and get the pin. This was far from over. Demon X would call Commissioner Rowland to the ring to declare him the winner. Rowland stated that since Austin was not a wrestler contracted through the ASWF he would have to give back the title. Rowland would also state that next week a contract signing would be in order.
The Feature Match was not for the faint of heart. This was scheduled as the LSD Death Match. Vinny Ramano and Joshua Cross would take on LSD (Cody Only/Idol Bane/Deadly Dale).
Weapons included bats, bats covered in tacs and barbed wire, and everything else that you could think of. This match was all over the place and was hard to keep up with. Vinny and Josh would be no match for LSD and fall short losing this match made in Hell.
The Semi-Main Event was scheduled for a Cage Match between Tim Hanson and Gravedigger. This match had to be the quickiest in ASWF History. Tim Hanson would get Gravedigger off balance and roll him up for the 1, 2, 3 in less than a minute and a half.
The Main-Event is one that everyone was waiting to see. "The Irish Dragon" Scott Fury would go mano y mano with Ron "By God" Rage. Scott would try to get the big man down early and as fast as he could. He would start aiming for any body part he could find that was weak, but when Rage would catch on it would be Hell for Fury. Ron would take back control and begin dishing out punishment that he talked about for weeks. But in a surprise to everyone in the audience, Fury would make a 180 turn and roll up Rage for the pin.

----Austin Lane's return should be a shot in the arm for this promotion. Shitty finish to his match though...Did they really set up a cage for a minute and half match?? It is says it was a "scheduled" cage match, so I am assuming they did not have a cage match?? If they did and it ended that way, then the booker for this promotion needs to be fired!!!
