12/21/2011 – NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling Report from Warner Robins on 12/18
From Daniel Lumm:
The turnout for the show was mid 70’s to 80’s. NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling has
added a brand new banner behind the ring to the Rampage Arena which looks good
from the tower camera. Also noteworthy is RPW’s new energy drink, Verve, was
introduced to us before the show and will now be sold at concessions. Ben Masters
announces that the NWA World Title Match pitting “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce against
Kyle Matthews will be 2 out of 3 falls with a 60 minute time limit.
The show starts with Ben Masters introducing Adam Pearce to the ring to cut a
promo. He talks trash about Kyle Matthews and the crowd for supporting him. He
says he respects the late “Nightmare” Ted Allen who trained Matthews, but no
amount of training from him will allow Matthews to take the 10 pounds of gold from
around Pearce’s waist. It’s at this time when Miss Allie is introduced by Ben Masters
and we get the first match going.
AJ Steele & Murder One defeat CB Gibson & Tommy Daniels via pinfall at 4:48
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Gibson starts with a quick offensive but AJ takes over with raw power. The Suspects
demolish Daniels and Gibson throughout the match, even utilizing some heel tactics
in the process, especially leaving pinfalls unfinished to deal more damage. The
match ends with AJ and Murder laying out both Daniels and Gibson and pinning them
both, one on top of the other.
“Marvelous” Michael Stevens (w/ Anthony Andrews) defeats Officer Chris Jacobs via
pinfall at 3:26
Referee: Stan Robinson
The match starts with Andrews distracting Jacobs and Marv taking advantage.
Utilizing this tactic, Marv gains the win with a Double Knee Gutbuster.
6-Man Tag Match with Rampage Rules
Mike Posey & Corey Hollis & “Do or Die” Chip Day defeat Frankie Valentine & Drew
Adler & Anthony Henry via pinfall at 15:44
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Jimmy Rave Approved start off with a short promo saying that they will show that they
are the best multi-man tag team in professional wrestling and that Jimmy Rave’s
suspension will not discourage them. The match kicks off with Valentine’s team
isolating Posey with some impressive technical wrestling and constant tags. The
Approved seem a lot more content with utilizing the Rampage Rules to tag out as
opposed to actually tagging each other. The tables are turned when Approved
manage to isolate Henry in the ring and deal punishment to him with his partners
looking on. The crowd was very alive through this match. Everyone makes their way
into the ring taking each other out until there’s literally nobody on their feet. Approved
manages to pull off the win by isolating Valentine and finishing with their triple finisher
from the top ropes, Corey landing landing a headbutt, Chip following up with a knee
drop, and Posey finishing with the leg drop and pin.
J-Rod & Sal Rinauro defeats Cru Jones & Shaun Banks via pinfall at 12:24
Referee: Stan Robinson
J-Rod goes into this alone since Ace Rockwell, his scheduled partner, couldn’t make
it to the show. Lava is noticeably sporting some questionable attire, 2 jingle bells
attached to the front of their tights. Lava spends most of the match just wearing down
J-Rod and tagging each other in, with plenty of trash talking from Cru Jones. Sal
rushes out to the ring to become J-Rod’s tag partner and does a good job at evening
the odds in his casual clothing. Eventually Hot Like Lava regains control of the match
and start isolating Sal in the ring. In the end the match goes to J-Rod and Sal with J-
Rod landing the knee on Cru for the pin while Sal held Banks back. After the match
Lava threw out Sal and started attacking J-Rod, but Sal grabbed a steel chair and
rushed back in to chase them out.
Mikael Judas defeats “Hit for Hire” Bobby Moore (w/ Charlie Cash) via pinfall at 8:51
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Moore is very hesitant to step in the ring with Judas to start off the match. Moore is
quick to do trash talking whenever he gains the advantage as usual. After helping
Moore get away from Judas, Cash is stalked around and into the ring and caught
before Moore comes in to save him. Moore keeps Judas down by focusing on his
knee, which seems to be quite effective through most of the match. Judas pulls off the
win with a Chokeslam followed by El Crucifijo. After the win, Judas is attacked by Rob
Adonis, who smashed Charlie Cash’s cane over his knee, and the Heavyweight
Champion, Jeremy Vain. The Usual Suspects rush in to make the save. Referee
Dustin Robinson prompted to start the next match immediately.
NWA Rampage Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship Match
AJ Steele (w/ Murder One) defeats “Untouchable” Jeremy Vain (w/ Charlie Cash &
Rob Adonis & Bobby Moore)(C) via disqualification
Referee: Stan Robinson
Vain makes regular attempts to duck and dodge AJ. It’s a bit of a oddity that Referee
Stan Robinson allowed all of Cash Vault to stand at ringside for Vain. The crowd was
chanting for AJ through this match as he kept wearing down Vain. AJ ended up
utilizing a lot of submission holds in this match with Cash Vault making attempts to
keep Vain near the ropes. Outside of the ring we had Murder One and Cash Vault
getting into a lot of standoffs, with Murder One eventually getting a steel chair from a
fan. Eventually they use the numbers game to distract the ref and attack AJ with
Murder One being held back by the ref to stop them. AJ finally revs up and starts
tearing Vain up. Right after AJ finishes off Vain, Adonis runs in to break the pin
prompting a disqualification. After the match a brawl breaks out, with Judas running in
and spitting red mist into Adonis’s face and Suspects beating down Bobby Moore.
Murder One, AJ Steele, and Mikael Judas clear the ring and celebrate.
Best 2 out of 3 Falls Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match
“Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce (C) defeats Kyle Matthews at 20:46
Referee: Dustin Robinson
Pearce starts off by leaving the ring to rip up a sign that one of the fans were holding.
He takes it a step further by getting the mic and talking trash to the crowd and go off
on a kid who threw trash at the ring. Pearce leaves the ring and takes the belt with
him and loses the first fall by count out at 4:34. After the first fall and 30-second rest
period, Pearce is still absent from the ring and waited for a bit to finally come out
again. He said if they don’t force the kid who threw trash at the ring to leave, he
wouldn’t defend the title. Bill Behrens comes out to say that the match has to restart
the match since Count-Outs cannot be a determining factor in a title match. The
match was restarted after 7 minutes in. Pearce starts this fresh slate with a much
more aggressive attitude. Kyle comes back quickly with a surprise Super Kick and
caught an early first fall at 30 seconds. After the first fall Pearce takes control and
starts really wearing down Matthews. Kyle gains momentum and the fans pop. When
it looks like a new Champion could be crowned, Jeremy Vain came out to distract
Matthews, giving Pearce enough time to deliver a boot and roll him up, grabbing tights
for the second fall at 9:59. The third fall had a lot of near falls by both competitors but it
finished with Peace planting Matthews with a Lariot. After the match, Pearce shook
Kyle’s hand before delivering a Piledriver. Kyle was left in the ring with Sal Rinauro,
Frankie Valentine, and referee Dustin Robinson trying to help him.
