Cody & Brody joined in the brawl, and the beat down was on. Bonecrusher & Soul Taker then came to the ring and joined the fight to even things up. A couple of minutes later, an unidentified wrestler (who was later identified as Raja) entered the fight on the side of PD & Asylum, making it 5 on 4.

first match: Tim Edwards over Shannon Lee with the Redrum
Birthday celebration for Kilo. Derrick King and Kilo out celebrating Kilo’s 28th birthday. Jimmy Tidwell and Angelina came out to crash the party. Jimmy makes statement about Dustin Starr not being there tonight. Derrick then says well if Dustin is not here then you must be alone, and then went after Jimmy and Angelina. Derrick catches Angelina and is about to give her some payback when “Pain and Justice” [Motley Cruz/Mark Justice] came out and jumped Derrick and Kilo. Match is set up for Kilo/DK vs. Pain and Justice” later in the night.
second match: Tatt2 beat Bishop
third match: Chris Rocker beat Rockin Randy
forth match: Derrick King/Kilo beat”Pain and Justice” [Mark Justice/Motley Cruz] via dq when Tim Edwards interfered. This match just exploded into one big brawl with everyone coming from the locker room and fighting. Angelina then gets herself involved with DK and to everyone surprise out comes Su Young!! After the dust had settled Allen Walker made a “Settle the Score” match for the main event.
The “Settle the Score” match: 2 wrestlers will start every minute another will enter until all wrestlers are in the match. No rules, one pin fall for win.
fifth match: Bishop beats Tatt2. This match was chaos from the get go. Bishop and kilo start off, with Tim Edwards coming in third.

Then out came mark justice, then Chris Rocker, Motley Cruz and at the last person was DK.
This match was wild, everyone was all over the building just basically fighting. Not much wrestling involved in this one. Chairs, ladders, sledge hammers, anything that you could hit someone with was used. The finish had DK hits a DKfactor on Motley when Angelina came back out to get involved when out came Su Yung again. These two girls fought all the way to the back then when the ring cleared Tatt2 and Bishop was left in the ring, when Bishop hits Tatt2 with a massive power bomb to win the match.
One wild night, fans didn’t get enough at the end of the night - they wouldn’t leave and was chanting for the good guys to "kick there ass". One hot night crowd was hot from the get go. Very good card with over 100 people paying at the gate and 120 in the building.
Eugene returns to Dyersburg next week with the starting of the heavy weight title tournament. There will also be some lucha libra wrestling there next week.

RassleResults: WWE SmackDown! Poplar Bluff, MO 1.10.09
World Wrestling Entertainment's SmackDown! brand held a house show last night at the Black River Coliseum in Poplar Bluff, MO. Here are the full results...
Ring announcer Justin Roberts welcomed everyone to the show and told the crowd that SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero, who was not in attendance, had decreed that the first match of the evening would be a non-title contest.
R-Truth defeated WWE United States Champion Shelton Benjamin in a non-title match. Finish saw Truth hit a scissors kick on Benjamin for the pinfall.
The arena spotlight appeared on Maria in the upper section of the arena. She picked out a family of four and asked one member a trivia question that, if she could answer it, would allow the family to move to front row reserved seats that were unfilled. The question was "Where will WrestleMania 25 be held?" The girl answered Houston, TX, correctly and her family was allowed to take a front row view of the show.
Umaga defeated Jimmy Wang Yang after hitting him with his Samoan spike finisher. The finish followed a blotched top rope spot by Wang Yang.
Justin Roberts introduced the special referee for the next match, who turned out to be Kung Fu Naki. The match was a "divas match" between Natalya and Eve Torres.
Eve Torres defeated Natalya by rolling her up into a pinfall as Natalya was trying to place her in the sharpshooter.
Vladimir Koslov defeated Hurricane Helms.
Kizarny defeated MVP after hitting him with a double arm DDT into a pinning combination.
Justin Roberts put over the concession and merchandise area as we went into an intermission. He also added that Jeff Hardy armbands were on sale and that Jeff had personally autographed five pair that were mixed in with the rest of the armbands being sold.
Maria came back out at the end of intermission and tossed T-shirts to members of the crowd. She also selected a young girl named Elizabeth to serve as guest "bell ringer" for the next match.
Carlito and Primo defeated Ezekiel Jackson and The Brian Kendrick to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship when Carlito pinned Kendrick following a "back cracker."
The Big Show defeated the Great Khali after hitting him with a "knockout punch."
Main Event: Jeff Hardy defeated Edge with a "twist of fate/swanton" combination finisher.
RassleNotes: Good house of approximately 4,500...Easily the biggest crowd to ever see a wrestling event at the Black River Coliseum, smashing the 2,600 attendance figure from an August 2006 ECW (WWE version) only house show...The crowd was hot early as they always are in Poplar Bluff...Their energy died somewhat toward the middle of the show, but picked up during the final two bouts...Crowd actually cheered Umaga heavily after his win...Eve Torres tried hard, but you could easily see that Natalya was a superior worker in the ring...Crowd seemed a little anger when Hurricane Helms came out to face Koslov as opposed to Triple H, who was initially advertised during early promotion of the show...MVP "quit" following his loss to Kizarny, who got a few laughs but I think the crowd was still bummed from the non-Triple H appearance against Koslov...Great Khali got a good pop as did Big Show when he came out. Khali had kissed a local girl from the crowd before Show entered and Show got on the mic and told him that he needs to worry about wrestling him tonight and stop kissing hillbillies. Instant HEAT! Was great...Hardy was easily the most over babyface and Edge was great as usual in his role as the brand's top heel. His facials were priceless...The main was also the best overall match and had a nice serious of false finishes at the end...With a bigger crowd than usual in Bluff, it was harder to scope out any local wrestling personalities in attendance, although I did see "Krusher," who lives in the Bluff area.
Ring announcer Justin Roberts welcomed everyone to the show and told the crowd that SmackDown! General Manager Vickie Guerrero, who was not in attendance, had decreed that the first match of the evening would be a non-title contest.
R-Truth defeated WWE United States Champion Shelton Benjamin in a non-title match. Finish saw Truth hit a scissors kick on Benjamin for the pinfall.
The arena spotlight appeared on Maria in the upper section of the arena. She picked out a family of four and asked one member a trivia question that, if she could answer it, would allow the family to move to front row reserved seats that were unfilled. The question was "Where will WrestleMania 25 be held?" The girl answered Houston, TX, correctly and her family was allowed to take a front row view of the show.
Umaga defeated Jimmy Wang Yang after hitting him with his Samoan spike finisher. The finish followed a blotched top rope spot by Wang Yang.
Justin Roberts introduced the special referee for the next match, who turned out to be Kung Fu Naki. The match was a "divas match" between Natalya and Eve Torres.
Eve Torres defeated Natalya by rolling her up into a pinfall as Natalya was trying to place her in the sharpshooter.
Vladimir Koslov defeated Hurricane Helms.
Kizarny defeated MVP after hitting him with a double arm DDT into a pinning combination.
Justin Roberts put over the concession and merchandise area as we went into an intermission. He also added that Jeff Hardy armbands were on sale and that Jeff had personally autographed five pair that were mixed in with the rest of the armbands being sold.
Maria came back out at the end of intermission and tossed T-shirts to members of the crowd. She also selected a young girl named Elizabeth to serve as guest "bell ringer" for the next match.
Carlito and Primo defeated Ezekiel Jackson and The Brian Kendrick to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship when Carlito pinned Kendrick following a "back cracker."
The Big Show defeated the Great Khali after hitting him with a "knockout punch."
Main Event: Jeff Hardy defeated Edge with a "twist of fate/swanton" combination finisher.
RassleNotes: Good house of approximately 4,500...Easily the biggest crowd to ever see a wrestling event at the Black River Coliseum, smashing the 2,600 attendance figure from an August 2006 ECW (WWE version) only house show...The crowd was hot early as they always are in Poplar Bluff...Their energy died somewhat toward the middle of the show, but picked up during the final two bouts...Crowd actually cheered Umaga heavily after his win...Eve Torres tried hard, but you could easily see that Natalya was a superior worker in the ring...Crowd seemed a little anger when Hurricane Helms came out to face Koslov as opposed to Triple H, who was initially advertised during early promotion of the show...MVP "quit" following his loss to Kizarny, who got a few laughs but I think the crowd was still bummed from the non-Triple H appearance against Koslov...Great Khali got a good pop as did Big Show when he came out. Khali had kissed a local girl from the crowd before Show entered and Show got on the mic and told him that he needs to worry about wrestling him tonight and stop kissing hillbillies. Instant HEAT! Was great...Hardy was easily the most over babyface and Edge was great as usual in his role as the brand's top heel.

Memphis Wrestling TV Report 1.10.09
----Ok, so Corey Maclin is celebrating 20 years in the wrestling business. The things that keep going thru my mind. Why!! Why!! Lance Russell!! Why did you get this guy in the business!! I am going to try to be nice and do a quick report here.
----Maclin opens the show talking to Lance Russell on the phone. Lance must be a super nice guy to put up with Maclin after all these years.
----Maclin comes back with one of his sponsors. I wonder if those guys know the REAL numbers on the ratings?? Next shown is Brian Christopher vs TD Steel!! Steel was one of my favorite jobbers. Kevin Lawler was the ref. Brian was a heel and Southern Champion. Maclin interviews Brian. Good interview and I agreed with everything Brian said. Something about people wished they never heard of Maclin. LOL His opponent was going to be Ron Oakes. Oakes comes out and Brian is surprised, because Oates is so big. Mark James or somebody help me with the dates on this stuff??
----Dave Brown sends in a video congratulating Maclin for being a mark for 20 years…I mean being part of the wrestling business. Class act that Dave Brown.
----“Opening the Vault” with Lance on the phone again. Clip of the Funk angle with coffin is shown. That is was Corey’s ONLY good moment. He just never knew when to stop pushing himself.
----King Cobra interview live in the studio with Corey Maclin. This is horrible. Can someone please just shoot me!!! Cobra and Maclin talk about BASKETBALL!!! Good god!! Cobra talks about “Mo Money Cash” – must be his business.
----Maclin brings out somebody that helped him in radio. What does this have to do with wrestling?? Maclin then shows his first match he ever did commentary on that aired on TV. Eddie Gilbert vs Tony Falk with Frank Morrell as referee. WOW!! I always liked all three of these guys. Typical Memphis comedy match to start out, the Gilbert gets the heat. Gilbert finishes him off with a figure four leglock.
----Referee Jerry Calhoun talks about Corey in a video interview.
----Jerry Lawler sends in a video talking about Corey also. Damn, I wished he would have gone into total heel mode. OH god..Lawler wishes him another 20 years..Lawler says if it wasn’t for Maclin, then Memphis Wrestling would not be on TV now. What is the purpose of it now?? Lawler continues and talks about the old time Memphis Wrestling. No one gets it; do they?? Maclin is just collecting a check and killing the TV show. This show was doing an average of 70,000 viewers in 2007 and now they are lucky to get 10,000 viewers. That says it all.
----Lawler vs the Intern. Mike Samples and Bert Prentice do commentary.
----Jimmy Hart sent in a video. It was funny.
NOTES
----Hopefully my “partner in crime” will be back next week. This is like torture to me. Thompson is young and can take the pressure better than me!! LOL…At this time next week I hope to take a cheese grader and scrape the back of my legs with it. Then, I plan to jump into a bathtub of alcohol. It might be more soothing than watching this HORSESHIT!

A Piece of my Mind Jan 9th 2008 by "The Big Cheese" Sal Corrente
I have been watching the angle play out between Shawn Michaels and JBL. I am not sure where they are going with it so I won’t comment on it. I do want to talk about what came to me as I was watching Shawn give one of his speeches during this angle. I realized that about twenty years ago I came up with the same basic angle for Nikita Koloff.
I think that this happened around nineteen eighty nine. Ric Flair was the booker for WCW. At the time he was looking for Nikita to come back to work. It was not really something that Nikita wanted to do. I was aggressively pushing him to go back to work. This was sometime after Nikita’s wife Mandy had passed away from cancer. Her struggle was well known throughout the wrestling industry and the Carolinas.
As I remember, Gary Hart was managing in the territory at the time and getting a pretty good push. I thought about it and went to Nikita with this idea. I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy sell because he really wasn’t ready to go back to work anyway. I suggested that he propose this angle to Flair.
He had just gone through an experience that no one should have to go through. His wife Mandy was a beautiful girl that was taken from him by Hodgkin’s disease. It was fairly well known that the medical bills were enormous. I suggested that Gary Hart hire him as a bodyguard with the understanding that he sees to it that no one is allowed to get their hands on Gary Hart. He would have taken the job because he was so overwhelmed with bills he had no choice.
The angle would play out week after week with Gary Hart berating guys during interviews. The babyface talent would want to nail Gary Hart but Nikita would intervene. He wouldn’t get involved physically but he would talk the talent into leaving Gary alone because Nikita really needed this money. It would have involved physical altercations that Nikita would eventually settle down. He wouldn’t attack the babyfaces. He was always to be the voice of reason. When Gary Hart would complain that Nikita refused to get physically involved, Nikita would point out that he was fulfilling his obligation.
In time, Gary Hart would start interrupting Sting interviews and berating him. As each week went by it would get to Sting a little bit more. The segment would always end with Sting taking his friends problem into consideration and walking away from the situation. At some point Gary would be confronting Sting and actually slap him. At that point Sting goes in for the attack. After a slight hesitation Nikita would attack Sting from behind and lay him out. It would be a brutal attack that would leave Sting a bloody and beaten victim to “The Russian Sickle”.
When the following week comes around, Gary Hart announces that Nikita failed to perform since Sting put his hands on him and was being released from his contract. When Nikita responds he tells Gary Hart that he made a serious mistake. He trusted people like Sting to have compassion for his problem. He now realizes he was wrong and that if given another opportunity he will be “The Russian Nightmare” that everyone remembers. He reminds Gary Hart of all of his success including things like his best of seven series against Magnum TA. He promises complete and total allegiance to Gary Hart since he is the only one that attempted to help him out of his problems.
Of course, at that point, the buildup would be to an eventual match with Sting as Nikita terrorized the territory. I was reminded of this because of the Shawn Michaels angle. I guess I was way ahead of my time but it never took place. As I said, Nikita didn’t want to go back to work and asked for way more than Flair was able to pay him. I think the angle would have been hot at the time since the real facts could have caused the situation that was playing out. I guess I can sit back and watch an angle somewhat similar and see how it plays out. It was an interesting trip down memory lane for me.
The photo with this article is from WrestleReunion 1 in Tampa Fl. The Funks Dory and Terry were just about to face Americas Most Wanted(James Storm and Chris Harris) for the NWA Tag Team Championship. It would be the last time the Funk Bros would challenge for the Tag Team Titles.
This has been a piece of my mind

My 2 cents on 'The Wrestler' by Gene Jackson
I've been reading a lot of reviews for the Mickey Rourke movie 'the Wrestler'. Some are good, some are bad. Take this one for instance, that was posted on Trent Van Drisse's Mid Southern Message Board by someone named "Magnum" Shane Smalls.
"I watched the first 5-10 minutes of this piece of sh*t and refused to watch. Anyone who didn't already watch every f***ing documentary that exposes the business, will find out every f***ing detail we were still able to f***ing hide. F*** this Sh*t!!!"
Now let me preface this by saying I have no clue who the hell Shane Smalls is, wouldn't know him if he walked in the room right now so this isn't a personal attack just going by his post here. How can you give an opinion on a movie or show that you only watched 5-10 minutes of??? I can't believe we are still hearing people bitch about exposing "the business" in 2009!?! I understand why Vince McMahon wouldn't like it because the fact is it DOES expose the business. I'm not talking about kayfabe crap like blades in the wrist tape or seeing matches laid out, or seeing that Necro Butcher is actually just a normal guy. No, I mean the sad, sad aftermath for so many of the wrestling superstars that guys like me grew up watching. Watching this movie I couldn't help but think about all the guys I've encountered over the years or heard about that have ended up like Randy 'the Ram'. Guys like Jake Roberts, Ricky Morton, Tracy Smothers, Lex Luger, 'Dream Machine' Troy Graham (I know he didn't achieve the level of fame as the others but a very sad story), and the list goes on and on.
Not to say that no one was aware of that aspect of wrestling but it really shines a light on how tragic these stories are. Think about it, how does a person cope with going from performing in front of thousands of people every night, making big money, being a star and now that's all in the past and you have to try to go out and get a regular job and try to be "normal." I also think it's interesting how the movie shows the parallel between Randy and Marissa Tomei's stripper character how you have to accept when your getting older and it's time to move on to a new stage in life.
I'm also impressed with how accurately indy shows are represented in the movie, I'm sure it's nothing impressive to "workers" but I'm sure fans or 'marks' will find it interesting. There's nothing glamorous about it, just guys who will never make it to the big leagues and guys who were there that don't know any other way to make a living so they have to go wrestle in front of tiny crowds for small payoffs and try to squeeze every extra dime they can out of polaroids and whatever else they can drag along to sell.
In closing I really enjoyed the movie despite the fact I've never liked Mickey Rourke in anything before he was quite convincing as a used up wrestler from the 80's. The acting was good and the story was well told, I know a lot of people didn't like the ending and I didn't care for it when I first watched it but I think it was appropriate cause these stories usually don't have a happy ending and your not slapped in the face with a real heavy ending that leaves you totally down.
I would to hear others opinion on the movie who have seen it, good or bad. Everyone has the right to their opinion just give a little reasoning for it and maybe it can open up some interesting discussion on the Kayfabe Board.

Coach's Corner: "Dustin Starr and Cheaters"
----You know sometimes Dustin Starr and I agree. I get a laugh out of his blog sometimes out of the stuff he says about others. Others times he comes off as an immature little prick. He goes for a “shoot shock” and comes off blabbing about things he sometimes has no clue about. He will then post a blog that is so “on the money” that it is scary. All in all, he presents one of the most thought provoking interesting sites in this area. There is not one person that posts more original material on their blog in this area, besides this site, than Starr, so you have to give him the nod in that department. But..as I said, there are times when character when trying to shock is just way off base.
----Let me first tell everyone a little secret about Dustin Starr. No..wait..it probably is not a secret, but let me tell you anyway. He likes only one person in wrestling – Dustin Starr. He might on occasion put over Derrick King or Don Bass or someone else that trained or helped him, but overall Starr likes no one. You don’t know how many conversations I have had with Starr that all he does from “dude” when he answers the phone until he hangs up and says, “Bye fag” where he criticizes EVERYONE. He overall is a very negative person that will only give praise to…huh… Dustin Starr. Anybody that I might praise on this site – well they are not good enough to him or “not as good as you say”. From Greg Anthony to Stan Lee to Eric Wayne – he can go on and on and on. If you are a regular reader of his blog he spent one week hating Lee, liking Lee and then hating Lee again. This is all because it was not going HIS way. And then shows up to work again in TLCW. It all just amazes me.
----Now as I spend an hour writing up this article and “Axeman” Randall Lewis spent a good time writing his last column about Starr, I am really doing only one thing – putting Starr over. Yes, unfortunately that is how it is. Wonder why some people could care less whether you are typing bad things or good things about them?? Because those people believe – no matter what you are talking about them – putting them over. And it is true; Dustin Starr is one of the most talented guys in this area. He runs a web site, works for the Riverkings, has his own line of clothes and is still featured on one or two shows a weekend. As a fan, a promoter, a mark, a kayfabe sheet guy or whatever you want to call me, I enjoy Dustin Starr the wrestler. As I stated in that last Arena Report, Starr had more heat than the whole dressing room – probably in front of the crowd and backstage. LOL Does he draw you extra fans?? Nah, probably not in wrestling today. As we have discussed on this site in depth, it is the storyline that sells unless your name is Austin Lane. [Did I get heat with that one?? LOL] TLCW had a crowd of around 200 this week. Was it because of Starr?? Nah, it was because they got out and told people there still were wrestling in the town.
----Ok, now with all that said and done. I have told you the bad things and the good things about Starr. Let me voice my opinion on his recent post. He was really RIGHT with part of it and YOU HAVE NO CLUE on another part. CLICK HERE to read his latest blog post.
----Starr’s thoughts Brian Thompson were way off base. And believe me; Brian let everyone know how he felt about what Starr said. I don’t have to come on here and go to bat for him. Brian is the most honest and sincere guy I have ever met in this business. He eats and breaths it. I have many times told Brian, “I got to get off here [talking about either the computer or phone] to do something besides wrestling.” He could talk for hours and come up with new idea after new idea. You are wrong about him not paying dues or him being a “gopher”. You have no clue. Kelly Warner may have wanted the world to think he was the “mastermind” of LAW, but it was a three man team. Jeff O’Dell was the money, Brian was the brains and Warner was a hell of a talker. Final thought on this is from Starr’s mention of Brian Christopher ?? Why even mention that sort of thing when for the longest time Starr was referred to as Christopher’s “gopher” ? Starr doesn’t hang out with Christopher anymore; wonder why?? Christopher stiffed him on a payoff and I believe threatened to kill him once. Starr was only featured on one of the top shows of the year?? Wonder why?? Because of things he has said on his blog!!! So, yes, Starr can be way off.
----On the subject that Starr and I agree 100% on and have talked about on the phone about is the assumed cheating that is going on during the awards voting. There really isn’t 100% way to determine who is voting for what. We would have to be sitting at their computer with them. But, along with talking to a few other wrestlers in this area, it seems we have more of popularity contest going on with some of the awards, instead of the actual voting – one time per computer. I mean just take a look at the numbers of votes. Aside from “Wrestler of the Year” that usually gets more votes than any other award, the number of votes are really a bit off from other awards. For example, the “Most Improved” category that I had to beg for people to nominate in, well it has almost as many votes at the “Wrestler”. I have repeated votes coming from Jackson, TN, Cordova, TN and Newport, AR. I have heard this guy is doing this and all kinds of stuff, so I have had to decide to do something different. Voting on the site was declared over for the “popular vote” at 5:06 AM this morning. We will be adding the “popular vote” along with the nominees that each candidate received from our 50+ committee. Third, the post above is the new “E-mail Ballot”. You are to copy and paste the ballot and e-mail it to the below e-mail address. Do not send it to my REGULAR e-mail – send it to that one. I will be able to monitor IP addresses and I will accept 3 Ballots from 3 different e-mail addresses from one IP. That gives you three votes per household. After you copy & paste it and put it in your e-mail software, then just go out to the right of each category and type a 3, 2 or 1. What you are doing is awarding each candidate points per your opinion of them. 3 points to the highest, 2 point to the second best and 1 point for 3rd place.
E-mail to bt@bpsnetworks.com
For example
MVP Performer
Stan Lee 3
Greg Anthony 2
Austin Lane 1
----So you are saying, you want Lee to win, Anthony is second and Lane is third. Some of these categories are real close, so this vote will be very important to put the real winner over. It does not matter whether you have voted in the nominating committee or the “popular vote”, you are encouraged to vote in this special “E-mail Ballot”. If you do not put them a number beside them – 3, 2 or 1 – the candidate you vote for will only receive one vote. So why not give the person you want to win 3 points?? Finally, if you are involved in any way with an award, then that award you are voting in, you will receive 1 vote automatically; just give the 3 and 2 to respective candidates. Award winners will be announced on 1.18.09.
RassleResults: RWA Jonesboro, AR .01.03.09
Battle Royal: Gary Diamond, Lethal, PP3, Lucky, Mike Anthony, Pokeface, Nebo Bryan, The Loose Cannon, Mike Anthony and Nebo Bryan Winners.
2. Athena VS Pokerface. Winner Athena
3. Mike Anthony VS Nebo"The Real Deal" Bryan. Winner Mike Anthony
4. J.D. Kerry and Mike Titan VS The Natural Born Playaz. Winner J.D. Kerry and Mike Titan
5. RWA Heavyweight Champion Rodney Mack VS Ron Rage. Winner Rodney Mack.
6. The Tejano Kid VS Austin Lane. Referee Stopped the Match.
The Battle Royal was set up for the last two in the ring to move on and face each other to break into the RWA top 10. Nebo Bryan is from Austin Texas and a great athlete. Nebo stand 6'4" and weighs in at 250 lbs. Demonstrated really good skills and has a very promising future.
Athena The Angel of Sin's wife came out running her mouth about how bad she was and that she could beat any woman in wrestling today. That's when Jazz's music hit and Jazz made her way to the ring. The pop that Jazz received was incredible. Jazz told Athena that the RWA was her house and she was not going to listen to her run her mouth anymore. The two squared off and Frank Martin and referee Tim Daniels hit the ring to separate the two. Martin reminded Jazz that she had not been released from the Doctor and she could not wrestle until she was. Athena then told Jazz since she could not wrestle she would take on anyone that the RWA had male or female. Jazz promised the crowd that as soon as she was released from the Doctors care she would come back and kick Athena's ass!!! Then Jazz asked Athena if she was sure that she wanted to wrestle anyone. Athena said she would take on anyone. Then Jazz asked for Pokerface to come out. This is what set up the match between Athena and Pokerface.
Pokerface and Athena had a very good match however Pokerface would not use his fists to hit Athena and tried to wrestle her without kicking or punching her. It wasn't until the Playaz [Southside Brawler/Pimptacular] came out to distracted Poker Face that Athena had any advantage at all. When Pokerface turned his attention to the Playaz Athena rolled him up for the 3 count.
Pokerface and Mike Anthony returned the favor to the Playaz and distracted them to give J.D. and Mike Titan the pin fall victory over the Playaz. That is 2 weeks in a row that this young team has defeated the Playaz.
Rodney Mack came to the ring wearing the RWA Title Belt but after Ron Rage's music played 2 times Frank Martin came out and told the referee to start a 10 count and count Ron Rage out. Rodney Mack was not happy about winning that way and has he left the ring, the Midnight Cowboy and Silas and Buzz Kill jumped him from behind. They busted open Rodney and beat him down with his chain and chair. Ricky Porter who was instrumental in the victory for Mack last week tried to help and they beat him down with the chair also.
The Tejano Kid came before the break and did a real good mic spill and was with his valet Dominique. Austin Lane came out to confront him because Tejano said he was the new kid in town and the people should get use to it because he was better than everyone the RWA had. He told the crowd that he would beat everyone and take the title from Mack in a matter of weeks. As Austin and Tejano squared off the referee tried to separate them and Martin had to tell the two that they did not have a match and he wanted to have time to advertise a match between the two. Austin did not like that and asked the crowd if they wanted to see him fight Tejano tonight. The crowd was very vocal about what they wanted so Martin made the match for the main event.
Austin and Tejano tied up in the ring and were putting on a great match when Austin got the advantage Dominique jumped on Austin's back. Austin pulled her over and Tejano gained the advantage. That's when Nikki Lane Austin's wife who had been sitting at the gimmick table all night hit the ring and attacked Dominique. The cat fight was on between these two. The guys tried to pull them apart and keep them apart but they could not. Soon all four were fighting in the ring. The locker room emptied and all the RWA workers tried to separate the 4 of them. They could not keep them apart, as Tejano would break free he would attack Austin and the same went for Austin. The crowd was going crazy and yelling " Let them fight" Has they finally got them apart Austin told Tejano that he would see him next week and to leave his "skank at home and fight him man to man.” Tejano told Austin that he would be back next week and told him to leave his tramp at home. Things got personal real quick and the guys had a hard time keeping them apart at the end. This feud is going to be great.
NOTES
Tejano is new to the area but is one of the best heels this reporter has seen in a while. The one thing that I have noticed here in the RWA is that these guys are making contact in the ring. They are laying in their punches and kicks and working very snug with each other. Chair shots are stiff and the crowd is really getting into it…There was over 150+ in the arena a lot of new faces thanks to Austin Lane…Martin promised the crowd that there would new workers next week, one worker that is coming in is The Sheik Hussian, this guy has been all over the world and worked North Carolina back in the day with a lot of the greats including Ric Flair.

----Austin Lane = 50 extra fans. Wow!! I look for the crowds to even get bigger, after more people realize the that Lane is here...It also makes you wonder what other ASWF guys might want to jump??...This promotion can only get better as the talent will get fresher as they weed out people that have been here too long - Loose Cannon, PP3, Lethal and Lucky.

RassleResults: NBW Newbern, TN Results Wrapup 12.27.08 and 1.03.09
12-27-08
Show Opens w/ the returning Rob Thompson coming to the ring with the NBW Championship. Rob said he was glad to be back but what was important was the business at hand. Rob said the NBW Championship had to be held up due to the former champion [Chris Rocker] not defending and that tonight there would be a battle royal to determine a brand new champion!
Tommy Redneck def. Suicide in a hardcore match. Highlight of the match was Redneck lighting firecrackers on Suicides back, it sounded like a gun went off!
Phoenix X. def. Mike Sydal after a swanton
Sarge O’Reilly and Neil Taylor def. Brandon Espinosa and Brandon Erins after reverse decision when Sarge planted a chain on one of the Brandons.
Crazy Train won the Battle Royal as a surprise entrant to capture his 2nd NBW Championship. Everyone was in the ring and Deranged came out then out of nowhere Crazy Train’s music hit and the place exploded. Match came down to Train, Jeremy Moore and Taylor, Sarge pulled Moore out of the ring and Crazy won the match.
Syn and DJ Stunner were declared the winners of the ladder match after special ref Weezy was knocked out from a vicious ladder shot and Gaylon and Biscuit had the belts but Syn and Stunner knocked them out of the ring and took the belts for the win. Match of the night and maybe the year for NBW. Just plain awesome! Stipulation made before the match was loser leave NBW.
Crowd was probably 75 to 80 and were hot all night. Great Show
1-03-09
Show opens up with Sarge and XOW coming to the ring. Sarge said that it was time for him to finally take the NBW High Risk title off Moore once and for all, cue "Superman" Jason Reed. Reed said that Sarge didn't deserve anything and if anyone should get a shot then it should be him. This brought Moore out. Moore said that he was a fighting champion and tonight he would be glad to defend against both in a 3-way!
Tank def. Deranged after a cradle pile driver
Big Red def. Pappy after a chokeslam
Jeremy Moore was ruled the winner by DQ over Sarge and Jason Reed after there was some confusion over who used a chain in the match.
Phoenix X vs. the Kid was ruled a no contest after Phoenix refused to pin Kid after Suicide got involved to try and help Phoenix
XOW was gloating in the ring talking about being the best tag team around when Redneck came out and said last week they cheated but this week he had a "new" team that wanted a shot and if XOW weren't scared then they would face them. XOW agreed and Redneck introduced a masked team called Biscuits and Gravy... At this point XOW was livid but they had agreed to a 6 man tag and if Biscuits and Gravy won then they get a tag title shot. Redneck, Biscuits and Gravy def. Syn, Suicide and Stunner in a 6 man tag.
Crazy Train def. Neil Taylor with a roll up to retain the NBW Championship
Crowd was up some this week with maybe 85+

----Not clear, but Syn and DJ Stunner won the tag belts in the ladder match; right??...So is Crazy Train working twice or do they have someone else doing the Deranged gimmick??...It did surprise me to see Train win the belt again…”Biscuits & Gravy” – that is corny as hell, but funny…Why do the heels have to be XOW??...Group is still drawing solid numbers – about 4 times the amount that Simon Reed was drawing in the same building. BTW..where is “The Posse”??...Tommy Redneck might be already gone from the group as he was drinking during the show last week. NBW has a strict policy about no alcohol during the show or on the premises. Another reason you will never see DK work NBW. LOL…Good to see Rob Thompson-Justice back with the group doing announcing.

----The angle with Psycho turning is just stupid for Kennett. Psycho lives and works there – so does Arnez. Why would you want to turn one of your top babyfaces and the guy that sells the tickets for you?? I talked with someone in the company about this and they actually said, “Well..he still will be cheered..” WTF?? Does anybody know what a heel is anymore?? I can hear Thompson saying, “Let me tell you what is wrong with this business…”…They are still drawing good in the 150 range…I think Bob Orton Sr was there doing a “Meet & Greet”.
