Our show was a blast this weekend with a near capacity crowd. According to Mr. Coffee and Betty Butler there were approximately 597 people accounted for. The ASWF would like to extend thanks to Nikki Lane, Betty Butler, and Jimmy Rhodes for their help in making this event possible.
The show would begin with Announcers T-Bone Terrence Ward and Magic Man Jimmy Rhodes along with Commissioner Ricky Rowland welcoming everyone to the show. Rowland would ask everyone to stand for the National Anthem before the show would get underway.
Our first match of the night was Lee Michaels and Chuck Fears taking on Kalaiki and Kevin Charles. Michaels did come to the ring alone but would be joined by Fears after his original partner failed to show. Charles would start off strong in this match with control early on. However, Lee's size would enable him to reverse the match in their favor with his speed and agility. Michaels would get a roll up pin over Charles.
Well just when you thought things were on the right track, Hollywood Jimmy Blaylock and his clique would come to the ring at first apologizing to the crowd for his actions the last time he was here. But just like anything good it doesn't last. Blaylock would reveal it was a joke. But soon enough The King himself would take to the ring to shut Blaylock up. But tempers would calm until the Main Event.
The second match of the night was for the ASWF X-Division Title. The Champion Christopher Lee would take on the challenger Vinny Romano. The match would be back and forth, but with a stroke of luck Romano would win the match and the title via pin fall. Commissioner Rowland would take to ringside and state that he was watching the match in the back and noticed Romano cheated. He would order the referee to restart the match and start counting him out. The referee would reach ten and declare Lee the winner and still Champion. Romano didn't see it that way and would run to the dressing room with the title. Commissioner Rowland would put Lee and Romano in a Last Man Standing Match next week for the title.
Our third match was a tag team match with Hot Rod John Ellison and Joshua Cross taking on Superstar Bill Dundee and Wild Bill. Bill would start off in control but control would slip as the ASWF HOF Ellison would start delivering his devastating right hands. Dundee would be tagged in later in the match and would take it to the outside and leave Wild Bill in the ring to deliver a stunner and get the win.
Tonight's fourth match was scheduled for One Fall. Tommy Wayne would take on Chris Styles. This would be an adrenaline fueled match with both wrestlers using their speed to their advantage. Tommy would gain control of the match and win via pin fall.
The fifth match of the night was a Triple Threat Tag Match. CM2 with Athena Eclipse VS Pure Destruction with Hollywood Jimmy VS LSD (Cody Only & Deadly Dale). This match was tough to keep up with. There was so much action in this match the announcers even had trouble calling the match! LSD would start off strong against CM2 and dominate the beginning of the match. But soon Pure Destruction would want in on the action and would leave exactly what their name says...destruction. Soon none of the contenders could take it anymore. Action was in and out of the ring. CM2 would use this opportunity to get the win via pin fall.
Our next match was Casino making his return to take on Kid Nikels in a singles match. Both would take turns controlling the match but Casino would make a huge comeback against the six foot four Kid Nikels. Brian Thompson, who explained earlier that Bobby Eaton was sick and could not make it, was the one who brought Nikels to Tuckerman. Thompson would ask Kid to bring Casino to the ropes and would hit Nikels by mistake, Casino would roll him up and get the pin. After the bell was rung, Nikels would shake Casino's hand and congratulate him on a match well done. They would both then turn their attention to Brian Thompson and begin to beat him to a pulp before he would eventually get away.
The Feature Match of the night was a Ladder Match for the reunification of the ASWF Title. In the previous weeks Idol Bane declared that he was the true Champion and would begin to carry out his own belt. There were so many ladders in this match it was scary. Both men put their bodies and careers on the line for the title. They would soon have set up the ladders in what appeared to be a bridge to the top. Idol would get caught up in the ropes and would look on in horror as Austin would climb to the top and get the belts.
The Semi-Main Event was the European Champion X-Kaliber and Grand Master Sexay Brian Christopher in a non-title match. Brian would perform at his best in this match not losing an inch to X-Kaliber. X-Kaliber would get a chain to try and even the odds, but it would be stolen by Christopher and he would use it on X-Kaliber when the referee distracted. He would pin X-Kaliber and get the win. After the match X-Kaliber would tell the referee that Christopher had a chain. The referee would begin to search Brian and he would toss the chain to X-Kaliber and show the ref. The referee would raise Christopher's hand in victory.
Our Main-Event was a Tag Match with Demon X and Johnny Hawk with Hollywood Jimmy VS Jerry "The King" Lawler and Seth Saber. The King and Saber would start off in control and hold on until Hawk would make his way in to show Saber some old school moves. The tide would soon turn when he would get the tag to The King and The King would start his punishment on Hawk and Demon X. The King would then tag Saber back in and he would get the pin over Demon X in what was the Match of the Night.

----Does Brian C look like Scotty 2 Hotty in that pic or what?? Is it just me??...I heard they did tons of advertising and footwork for this show. Guess what?? It paid off - almost 600 people!!...I was told Idol Bane/Austin Lane was "match of the night" by a lot of people - apparently they put on a great show...Omg!! I would personally like to apologize to Jerry Lawler for having to work both Demon X and Johnny Hawk. Well..I guess it is not my fault, but sorry anyway. Heard it was mostly Sabor taking heat and Lawler getting hot tag...They should have kept Nikels as a heel, if they plan to use him in the future.
