Here come the haters..... by Gene Jackson



Something I absolutely hate about the wrestling business is the fact it seems no one can ever be happy for anyone else who gets the chance to do something they wish they could do. It's amazing to me how the same "workers" who run out and buy a ticket every time WWE or TNA comes to town who either sat in the audience last night or sat at home in front of their television watching Dustin Starr wrestle on WWE television for ECW will then go online the next day to places like "the bathroom wall" and criticize Dustin for doing something they'd give anything to do.

Now don't get me wrong not EVERYONE is like that. I've seen on twitter and a few other places where guys have congratulated Dustin on getting the spot on TV last night. However it's mostly negative stuff from bitter ass people who will never amount to anything in the business. Most of the guys who are talkin' shit about Starr "jobbing" for Zack Ryder don't realize that more people saw Dustin Starr wrestle that one match last night than if you added up all the people who will ever see them wrestle on their little show where they are the "Star".

Of course BT reports it and immediatly people start calling him a "kiss ass" (and I'll get the same thing once this is read) but what's he supposed to do, act like it didn't happen. Jump on the bandwagon of the others who somehow think being the champion of your own promotion whose audience is made up of friends and family is somehow more impressive than being a "jobber" for the biggest wrestling company in the world. Come on, whether you like Dustin Starr personally or not, whether you agree with his antics and internet postings you still have to give him his due. He got there and you didn't, if you don't like it how bout instead of bitching about on a message board under a fake name, go do something to get yourself noticed, do something that earns YOU an opportunity to be seen. Go somewhere and be seen by someone who has some connections to help you get somewhere, that's the way businesss works...notice I didn't say THE business, that's ALL business. That's how things work.

If doing jobs on TV is so detrimental to one's career how come Gary Nations is still bragging about jobbing on WCW television, SIXTEEN YEARS LATER??? According to him that led him to being able to sell out arenas all over the World and to this day he's still a daily topic of discussion on your little bathroom wall.

I know this whole column is in vein, it's not just wrestling it's human nature that most folk's are jealous and root for other people to fail but it really just comes off pathetic when reading this shit on the internet. Congrats to Kid Nickels and Eric Wayne for being on camera as well on RAW.

In all seriousness though, think about this...for you folks who defend Mississippi Rasslin' over at the 'bathroom wall'. Dustin Starr, Lord Humongous, Lady Vixen, and Chris Rocker's wife are the most 'over' people on your board because good or bad they get talked about the most.......when's the last time ANY of them WORKED in MISSISSIPPI?.....there's something to that.....figure it out.....

Mama Says It Beees That Way Sometimes "Kid Nikels - The Next Big Star?" by “Downtown” Bruno Lauer


Hello cyber-world ,it’s me again, Downtown “good looking” Bruno.

This time around I am here to talk about my friend, Kid Nikels - one of the first graduates of the “Nightmare” Ken Wayne School of Professional Wrestling and one of the stars of New Experience Wrestling. I actually had the honor and privilege of refereeing Kid’s first professional match, which was, ironically, vs Eric Wayne. [ I talked about him last time] I can honestly tell you that in 30 plus years in the business, I have never seen anybody come so far so fast as Kid Nikels.

When I first met him, he had a white boy afro. He was tall and gangly and was definitely tentative in the ring. Fast forward to 2008 - when N.E.W. first began and I was honored to be brought in as the senior official and one of the first bouts on the card was Kid Nikels. This was a new and improved version of 2008(AND '09). He was still tall(duh),but now bald like a N.E.W. version of “Stone Cold” – he was a lot more muscular and less gangly! Oh, but to me, the biggest and most impressive change was the confidence and ring presence that had came to the kid. He actually seems like a 10 or more year veteran now. He is very comfortable and at home in the ring and I’ve never seen him blow up either.

I would have to say that years ago, when I was managing in different territories all over the country - Kid would have been a top attraction in any or every one of them. I could picture him main eventing against Rufus or Pork Chop in Kansas City, Lawler or Dundee in Memphis, Dusty or Jack Brisco in Tampa, the Von Erichs in Dallas, Carlos in Puerto Rico,JYD in Bill Watts’ backyard, Dutch or The Bullet in alabama,etc…and I would have loved to manage him back, as we say, in the day! Well, those main events will never happen, for obvious reasons, but what about Kid Nikels vs Shawn Michaels? Or maybe Kid Nikels vs John Cena? Like Chief Gillespie said in the movie Heat of the Night..."dont you bet against it!"

----“Downtown” Bruno Lauer is a legend in Memphis Wrestling. He surprised everyone last year winning RRO Referee of the Year 2008 from his work at NEW. He appears bi-weekly with his non controversial column. Lauer had his biography published last year “Wrestling with The Truth” and can be purchased at www.crowbarpress.com.

The Golden Circle: "TANK" by Greg Anthony


I'm still reeling from the passing of Tank. I myself am an only child that is why I feel many of the wrestlers are like brothers. Tank and I weren't best friends but we both loved wrestling. He didn't love wrestling because he thought it would bring him fame and fortune, he loved wrestling because it brought him happiness. That is something many can learn from him.

I hate when someone passes away and no matter what kind of life they lead people sing their praises. I look at each death with one question "Is the world a better place because they aren't in it?" The world is NOT a better place because of Tank's death. Not a better place for his family, not a better place for our wrestling community and not a better place for me.

Tank and I didn't agree on everything but I liked him. Creatively I needed Tank, his size made him a unique commodity for any show. In New Blood Wrestling, Tank wanted to use the old King Kong Bundy 5-count gimmick. So I came up with The Triple 5 Challenge. He could beat any opponent in under 5 minutes with a 5-count and if he didn't his opposition won $5,000. I really like that one but unfortunately it wasn't given the time to mature and if I'm not mistaken, I think he used it again this year in NBW. I also used him for a few weeks in Lethal Attitude Wrestling leading up to the $10,000 Royale Challenge. A 20 man battle royal whose ending was centered around "The One Man Wrecking Crew" Tank.

I would like to give my deepest sympathies to Tank's family and closest friends. I know you are missing him in a way many of us can't fathom. I urge anyone who has wrestling footage of Tank to give it to his wife. So his children can one day enjoy seeing what Tank enjoyed doing. Tim "Tank" Robertson will never be forgotten, I promise because he was as good as gold.

----Greg Anthony is a regular on the local area circuit. He won RRO Booker of the Year 2008 and is listed in the top 4 of the RRO Top 10 2008. Greg is currently working as booker of NEW and can be seen tagging with legend Bobby Eaton and Brian Thompson as “Midnight Gold”.

Wayne was featured during a Kahli segment, Dan during a Jericho segment and Nikels was a paparazzi when Melina came out. Kid/Wayne also worked out this afternoon with the WWE guys again.

Dustin Starr on ECW!!

----Starr just wrestled Zach Ryder a few moments ago on ECW. Ryder gave him very little, but good to see a local guy on the show. Before everyone starts talking - remember Starr was on WWE TV while you were home watching him!! Congrats Dustin!!

Dustin Starr on ECW!!!

----I just got word that Dustin Starr vs Zack Ryder will be featured on ECW tonight!! Show airs 9:00 PM on Sci-Fi Network locally!!

NEW BOOK RELEASE FROM BTPRESS!!


NEW BOOK REVEALS BOXING’S DARK SIDE

STEELE, Mo. – As the boxing world seems to go through another mindless cycle with only a handful of superstars on the scene today; former boxing promoter Rob Russen has just completed a hard-hitting novel that shows the scary side of the sport that has made millionaires out of the likes Manny Pacquaio, Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather, Jr and Ricky Hatton.

Russen, who spent several years working for the late promoter Rick Parker and his “Rick Parker Presents” boxing organizations, details much of the political side of his beloved sport in “8…9…10…You’re Out!,” available now from www.btpress.net.

No punches are pulled in this story of lies, drugs, decent and more; however, readers will learn of the many punches pulled by boxers who were paid off to enhance the careers of Parker’s star performers.

“This is certainly a tell-all story,” said Brian Tramel, co-owner of www.btpress.net. “I’m sure many of the stories told in this book will shock everyone. I certainly couldn’t believe some of the things I discovered while completing the editing portion of the book.”

Fans of boxing greats will be stunned when they learn how promoters of some of the sport’s most beloved once used sex and drugs to wear down an opponent days before a championship fight. They will learn all of the details that eventually led to the murder of Parker himself for business practices that one of his prized fighter’s could take no more.

"There is no denying the irresistible charm of a sport that could produce so many delightful saints and sinners,” said Russen. “Yet for all its enchanting elements, there is no escaping boxing’s dark side, and all the constant reminders of why it is still called --- and rightfully so --- an unsavory racket.”

“8…9…10…You’re Out!” has a suggested retail price of $19.99 and is available for purchase online at www.BTPress.net and www.amazon.com.

Joey McNew is NOT closing WWCW

----Joey post the following on the Kayfabe Message Board.

Stay tuned to www.wwcwwrestling.com and www.lethalassaultentertainment.com (currently under construction) for the latest on both companies.

RassleResults: EPW Booneville, MS 5.30.09

At the beginning of the show, EPW Tag Team Champions, Phat Foundation (Justin Rhodes & Chris Fontaine) were called to ringside to receive the Wrestling News Center.com "Tag Team of 2008" Award, (as voted by the fans). However, the awards were not in the box they had arrived in. The box was full of trash - the awards had apparently been stolen. Phat Foundation was angry, then out came Pain, Inc. members Brett Michaels & Izzy Rotten with the awards. They had covered PHAT Foundation with tape and written Pain, Inc. on the awards. Izzy said Pain, Inc. deserved the awards instead of PHAT Foundation. An argument ensued, and a match was finally set up for later in the show, PHAT Foundation vs. Pain, Inc., Tag Team Titles vs. the awards.

Hakim Insane w/Max Pain defeated Buzz Harley after interference by JR Mauler.

Revolution (Cyrus & Chazz Stone) defeated New Kids (Tysin Starr & Cassanova Kid).

"Prime Time" Nick Grimes won a three-way match over Jay Webster and "Dangerous" David Cox by pinning EPW Extreme Champion Jay Webster. New Extreme Champion is Nick Grimes.

Soultaker vs. "Big Daddy" Neno ended up being thrown out by the referee.

The next match was tag team action to determine the #1 contenders for the EPW Tag Team Championship, M.I.A. (Dirty Sanchez & Geno Sydal) vs. S.T.D. (LSD & PCP). The match ended in a double pin, and the referee declared it a draw. No #1 contender was determined.

The next match was to have been Bonecrusher vs. EPW Champion Mason for the belt. Bonecrusher came to the ring first, but Mason did not come to the ring. EPW Promoter Edith Poole came out & said that Mason was not in the building, and that Mason said he was going to Dyersburg, TN, to defend the belt. Bonecrusher was angry. Edith said she had another opponent for Bonecrusher, but he was having no part of it. Bonecrusher said he was going to Dyersburg after Mason & left the arena.

Main event was PHAT Foundation (Justin Rhodes & Chris Fontaine) w/"Monkey Boy" Danny Morris vs. Pain, Inc. (Izzy Rotten & "Extreme" Brett Michaels). As set up at the beginning of the show, it was Tag Team Belts vs. 2008 Tag Team of the Year awards. The match was wild and eventually ended in a DQ. Phat Foundation retains the belts. Pain, Inc. went to the back without the awards, so Phat Foundation was called back to the ring and the awards were presented to them.

----That opening angle sounded funny...Please don't bring Mason to Tennessee!!!! LOL...The "New Kids"?? Come on guys - you got to be able to come up with something better??

Dustin Starr WAS on RAW!!

----Just got a call a few moments ago and apparently was seen just a quick moment during the Flair/Orton backstage skit. My source said, "You had to almost freeze frame it to see him, but he was on there." Good deal for Starr.

Arena Report: MAYHEM EWE Ripley, TN 5.30.09

----“Baron” Malkavain beat Vinnie Romano. Just a total squash. Vinnie was on the mic making a challenging before the match – not bad. Other than that Malkavain dominated and ended it with a “Demon Wings” [*].

----“Genocide” [Maxx Corbin/Albino Rhino] beat by dq Kid Nikels/Eric Wayne. Entrance with video was awesome. Corbin had a fireworks grenade that was lit and it looked cool – it put smoke all over the small building. Not a good match – should have been a lot better. The ring was engulfed in smoke and Maxx/Albino jumped on Kid/Eric. Good stuff at the front for the shine. They did an injury angle where Corbin was supposed to be hurt and left to go to the back. [it made no sense] Rhino took the heat and it was not believable. Kid/Wayne should have done a ton of double team moves to put him down – they worked hard, but it just didn’t work. Wayne used a chair after Maxx ran in for the hot tag for the DQ. [*1/2]

----Bishop beat Idol Bane. Good solid bout from the two big men. They had these guys come in to try to get Bishop to start a babyface stint here. Bane used the chain Bishop wears to keep the heat going. [smart stuff] Belly to belly for a DKO. Bane went for the “Ghost of Andy Kaufman”, but Bishop came out of it with a DVD for the win. [**]

----“Bad Guys” [Chad & Brad Badd] beat Shannon Lee/Ike Tucker with Brian Steele. A good solid bout – a lot better than I expected. Lee, as noted, as improved a lot. Heat on Lee with Tucker making the hot tag [perfect role for him]. Chad ended up pinning Lee for the win. After the match, Steele ended up hitting Brad with a small guitar over the back.[**1/2]

----Strap Match: JR Manson beat Tatt2. This was really a disappointing match. I don’t like these matches anyway, but as typical with a lot guys in this area – they forget about psychology when doing gimmick matches. Just real sloppy from both guys and I actually like watching both guys perform. A heel fan for JR at ringside killed almost all the heat for the bout. I would have liked just a normal match between them. [*] – just for some of the whelps that JR took.

----Krisis vs Bishop ended in a 15 minute draw. This was not the kind of match that Bishop needed to get him over as babyface. No one cared about the match. Crowd was dead or leaving. It was close to 9:00 PM and the building was so freakin hot. Nothing bad about the match, but it just fell flat. [*1/2]

----“No Holds Barred” Jon Michael beat Scott Adams. Everything was good and solid for this match. Great video piece before and just super psychology. This was easily probably Adams’ best match of his career. Michael/Adams are both over here. Adams has really good punches. Michael did a moonsault from the top to floor. I thought he died. Both got a couple of big moves including a power bomb from Scott and choke slam - Michael with a senton dive with a chair on Scott’s chest - near falls building for a finish. They lost the fans a bit in the middle, but finish got a huge pop. Michael on the mat and Adams on the second turnbuckle getting ready to do a Vader splash – Michael then ran up and caught him in a powerbomb for pin and win. Big pop!! [***1/2]

----“Picture Perfect” [Christian Jacobs/Chris O’Neal] beat “Midnight Gold” [“The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony/”Beautiful” Bobby Eaton] with Brian Thompson. A fun match. Just basic psychology here. You could tell everyone was having a good time. Thompson at ringside sells everything in the ring – just what a manager is supposed to do!! Good mic work at the start. PP are soooooo over!! Heat on O’Neal as they worked on his knee. He even bumped over to the corner and Eaton worked on his knee. Great finish as after a hot tag they cut them off with TGB putting O’Neal in a figure four. Eaton was leaning over in O’Neal face when CJ bumped him and Chris rolled Bobby up for the pin with him still in the figure four. [**3/4]

----Stan Lee beat Dustin Starr to retain the EWE Title. The best bout on the show. Heat was there during the whole match. Crowd loves Lee and wanted to see him beat up Starr. It really came off as a big match. Solid build in the shine as Lee did a dive over the ropes onto Starr. He hit a running shooting star. A nice senton from the top. He missed a 450. Heat started as Starr worked on Lee’s knee. [only gripe – because they had just done that] Lee was working towards hitting the Tiger bomb for the finish with Starr kicking out once. A couple of ref bumps – one real sweet from Ron Bryson. Kaleb took a crossbody from Lee. Lee hit a Tiger bomb, but no pin. Lee went to the top and Starr hit him with a “Super Starr Struck” [Rock bottom from top turnbuckle] Starr tries to use a chair, but Lee hits the chair with a spinning leg smashing it into Starr’s face. Tiger bomb for the win. [***3/4]

NOTES

----140 to 150 in the building at the most. It was god awful HOT!!!...I just don’t buy “Genocide” as babys. They really need someone to beat the hell of them to put them over as babys and it is hard to have anyone on the roster to do that on the heel side…Eric Wayne got his nose busted during the match…Bane/Bishop and first match were not even needed. If I was going to put Bishop over big – I would have just had a quick squash…Bane deserved his Most Improved 2008 award. He has really turned into a solid worker. He is officially spelling his name – Idol Bane now. LOL…Bishop has great deliver on the mic. He needs a cool catch phrase…I am not sure who is doing all the video packages – maybe CineMaxx and Stan Lee – but with the EWE Tron and all – they heads above anyone in this area. The video pieces look like something you would see on TNA…Ike Tucker has more charisma than most in this area. If one of the young guys could get a pop and reaction like this – WWE would be knocking their door down…Tatt2 did some amazing stuff in his bout as it always seems he is just at the edge of being one of the top in the area. It was announced after the bout that this was his last match with EWE…Scott Adams needs a cool singlet made of that shiny leather stuff…The guys that are super over for this promotion are Chris O’Neal, Christian Jacobs, Jon Michael and Stan Lee on the babyface side. Starr and Adams are over as heels. Kid/Wayne got a good reaction coming out also…Main event went in the ring at 10:12 with it finishing around 10:45 PM – so we are talking almost 4 hour show. They could have done without two of the bouts and still had a solid show. I had someone joke, “well..you know DK was seen earlier today.” I really never understand that when they are doing a big show they seem to have to stick on matches that do not mean anything…This was the first in a series of matches with Lee vs Starr. If they did that on the first try, what else can they do?? One of the top four bouts I have seen this year...Starr may be in the best shape I have ever seen him in...Thanks to cast and crew - I had a great time!!

LOCAL GUYS IN ALABAMA!!

----Eric Wayne, Kid Nikels and Dustin Starr were all in Birmingham, AL today. They worked out in the afternoons and it seems to have been a positive experience for all of them. They were watched by Dean Malenko, Jamie Noble and Fit Finley. They were not used in an on camera capacity. They will all be in Memphis, TN tomorrow night for Smackdown. Good luck guys!!!

WWE SHOWS TO FEATURE LOCAL TALENT!!!

----Rumors on a few personal sites [Myspace/Twitter] and such that three or more local guys will be featured at RAW tonight in Birmingham, AL and Smackdown in Memphis, TN tomorrow night. Dustin Starr reported that he is in Alabama on “The Starr Treatment” yesterday, so I am assuming it is for RAW. I am keeping all other stuff I know kayfabed until they make their appearances, because as of right now none of them know their role and I don’t want a “Naturals” kind of thing happen to them. I did want to say GOOD LUCK to everyone from the RRO staff. I should have an update on this story around 11:00 PM tonight after RAW goes off the air.

More Notes

Great action this past Saturday night. End of the night saw a huge brawl when NBOP stormed the ring and beat down Kilo after the Kilo vs. PK Ripper match. They were soon joined by the other family members of Destiny, Devon Day & Ron McClarity. Chris Lexxus, Fuz!on, Chico Mendoza and others came in to make then save and this ended up being a huge brawl.

Things got out of hand as the crowd go so irate at PK Ripper and the family that the entire security force could not hold them back. PK Ripper received lacerations to the forehead from a fan that was swinging a metal cane. Jon Seymour also was hit in the head by the same fan with the glancing blow.This fan was subdued but the action was all over the arena.

PK Ripper recived medical attention in the back. This upcoming week the security has been doubled as the fans are really aggressive against PK Ripper, Ron McClarity, Devon Day, Wildside, Way Cool, Destiny & Ravishing Randy. Plans have been made to escort " The Family" to their cars after the show. Should be interesting as the summer just starts to heat up.

RassleResults: DCW Dyersburg, TN 5.30.09 - Let The War Begin - Phase II!!

120 in the crowd - what a great start for DCW/Sarge reign.

Credit: Spiritoftoday

----I was told the best match on the show was Lee/Gaylon vs DJ/Syn. After seeing Lee last night at MAYHEM, I would agree he has really improved in the last year…Show was up almost 50% with the first week of Sarge and crew. Sarge was hustling this week getting fans in. This will help if they put on a good show – the fans will come back. DCW seems to have the momentum in this DCW/NBW feud right now.

RassleResults: XOW Wendy Jones Benefit Independence, MS 5.30.09

The XOW benefit show for the family of Wendy Jones got underway with the music from Nashville Recording Artist, Ken Hatton. Following a song, "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock made his way out and dissed on the band. Tony Watts, then, had "Hollywood" escorted off the premises.

The Tracy Wyatt Band took the stage. In between songs, announcer Al Hall was joking around with the band and making fun of all the people in the crowd.

All of the sudden, "Big Daddy" Storm pulled up to ringside in his convertible sports car. Storm made fun of the band and sung a little diddy himself. It was a special rendition of one of Elvis's all-time classics that he sung just for the ladies in the crowd. Instead of singing, "I get so lonely" he hit us with the remix with, "You be so ugly". Storm made his way up to the trailer where Andy from the band was. As Andy was putting his guitar away, Storm attacked him from behind. Storm called for a ref as he dragged Andy to the ring. Referee Chris P. Fries came out to call this impromptu match. It wasn't long before Storm hauled off and hit Chris P. Fries, which brought out Referee Uncle Felton. Well, Felton suffered the same fate as Fries and was knocked out, as well. Then, Tony Watts came to the ring and got into a confrontation with Storm. Tony shoved Storm and Andy took advantage of the opportunity and rolled up Storm, while Tony counted to three. Andy got the win. An irate Al Hall jumped into the ring to attack Tony, but security broke them up. Tony tossed Al Hall from the premises, as well, but before he left Tony said, "June 6th, bring your fat a@# to Crenshaw!" As Storm was leaving, Tony informed him that the next time Storm takes on Andy it will be under Extreme Rules.

1st Official Match-"The Greatness" Jay Webster, with "The Sure Thing" Colton Anderson in his corner, tied up with Curly Moe, with Dirty Rell Moe watching his back. In the early moments of the contest, Webster accused Moe of pulling his hair. Later, Curly would deliver a powerful spinebuster. While on the outside, suddenly, Dirty Rell Moe would level Curly with a licence plate and roll him back into the ring. Webster would connect with a flatliner to get the win. I guess he lived up to his name, because that was dirty!

2nd Match-Triple Threat Match featuring Suicide vs DC vs Chop Top The Clown. Suicide was laying low at the beginning of this one, letting DC and Chop go at one another. While trying to make his calculated attacks, Suicide was caught and it was on as all three hit one another with their best to get their hand raised in victory. During the final moments, DC delivered a corkscrew neckbreaker on Suicide off the ropes, but would receive an innovative neckbreaker as well from Chop, who got the win. Chop Top The Clown is your winner.

During intermission, Tony brought out Joe Riley, who's wife, Wendy Jones, passed away recently in a car accident. Tony gave him the big XOW banner, which was signed by everyone on the show.

This was followed by a special cake auction by Billy Russ and Tony, along with the lovely XOW Divas, Jori and Lil Bit. They had pineapple pie, strawberry cake, and a chocolate cake. Chocolate Cake-Mmmmm Mmmmm Good!

3rd Match-The Hawaiian Kid and Jay Webster, with Colton Anderson and Dirty Rell Moe in their corner, squared off against "The Asylum" Psycho and Pappy, with Tony Watts. The Hawaiian Kid came out to Kofi Kingston's theme music. I had to hit that Thunder Clap a couple times. Booah! Booah! Booah! He looked more like Umaga to me. Not long after this one started, Curly Moe came out chasing after Dirty Rell Moe to get some retribution for what transpired earlier. The funniest part of this one was that The Hawaiian Kid was not wearing any boots or shoes, he was barefooted. Well, the sun was shining and the ring was pretty much on fire, so The Hawaiian Kid looked as if he was dancing while he was on the apron, but the funniest part was when he actually got tagged in because he was moving around so slow. Each step that he took, he was cringing in pain. That was funny as hell! I couldn't stop laughing. Tony visited with me during this one since his boys had everything under control. In the end, Psycho and Pappy got the win with a double team fireman's carry drop. As soon as the match ended, The Hawaiian Kid jetted to the back. I believe The Kid made a Bad Call going without shoes.

"The Pink Flamingo" Brian So Fine made his way out to the ring. He said that Danny B. was not there and forced Referee Felton to count him out and declare him the winner. Before Brian left the ring, Tony told him to hold on and brought out his new opponent, Drew Donovan. Fine tried to hit him with his plastic flamingo, but Donovan ducked, sending Fine into the turnbuckle enabling Donovan to get the roll up for the three count. After the match, Brian So Fine told Tony that on June 6th in Crenshaw, he better have Danny B. there or he will forfeit the title.

Semi-Main Event-Mason vs "Bad Attitude" Tony Dabbs with his manager, Jason "The Brain". This one went back and forth with each man trying to gain the advantage underneath the blistering sun. Tony Dabbs landed the superkick on Mason to get the win.

Main Event-Syn and DJ Stunner with their manager Jason "The Brain" vs The XOW Tag Team Champions, "The Sons of the South" Chris Styles and Josh Matthews with Tony Watts. Referee Chris P. Fries grabbed the microphone and announced that the match was now going to be Falls Count Anywhere. These four quickly took flight, piling up on the outside. Chris threw Syn face first into a trash can. Ewww! As Chris and Syn were battling on the outside, Josh and Stunner were showcasing some incredible fast paced action inside the ring. Chris took Syn over to the Bud Light trailer. While they were fighting, Jason "The Brain" started throwing rocks at Chris. That's good stuff, right there. Chris would bring Syn over into the crowd and drop him on the wooden bleachers. Josh flat out leveled Stunner with the trash can. Then, Chris suplexed Syn on the trash can in the gravel. There was lots of chair shots. A little kid was giving Syn a hard time. Chris ended up grabbing Jason "The Brain" and bringing him into the ring, where he unleashed a vicious attack that left "The Brain" in bad shape. Stunner hit a sweet lionsault on Josh. Chris broke up the count by tossing in a chair that hit Referee Chris P. Fries. Syn landed an Asai Moonsault from the apron on Chris. The finish saw Josh connecting with the Cradle Shock as Chris hit the Southern Destroyer to defeat Syn and Stunner. Following the match, Chris Styles got on the mic and said that they respect Syn and Stunner, as well as, the XOW company, but they don't have the heart to stop kicking their a@# everytime they see them. Chris announced that next Saturday, June 6th in Crenshaw the four will do battle, again, but this time it will be in a Special Dog Collar Match for the XOW Tag Team Titles. These guys always have some AWESOME matches. They work great together. If you're anywhere around Crenshaw, next week, you will definitely want to check it out. You will be in for a treat. Tony had some choice words for Syn as he left.

Following the wrestling, they featured some more great singing with Wade & Tisha and Chris and Melissa.

XOW Wrestling would like to thank Bud Light for the trailer and The Independence Community Center for the ball park.

Don't forget next Saturday, June 6th, XOW returns to Crenshaw, Mississippi, at the Crenshaw Baptist Church to benefit the Youth Group. Already signed Brian So Fine vs Danny B., The Special Dog Collar Match for the XOW Tag Team Titles with "The Sons of the South" Chris Styles and Josh Matthews putting the belts on the line against Syn and DJ Stunner, "Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock and much much more. It's sure to be lots of fun!

Everyone gets a Good Call for all their hard work on delivering a good show for a Great Cause!
