Season’s Beatings got off to an early start in Cornelia, Georgia this year, as NWA Anarchy booked the first ever Mob Roolz match as last night’s main event. The booking strayed from the usual formula with a show built on two epic matches, and while credit is due for daring to be different, different doesn’t always mean good. (1) Randall Johnson beat Spector in 6:35 Decent opener. Spector was a heel invader from the Texas Wrestling Academy. Spector took over with a pair of basement dropkicks cutoff Johnson’s comebacks. Johnson fired back with chops to launch a full-fledged comeback. Johnson got crotched on the top. They engaged in a semi-fierce battle while balancing on the ropes. Spector took the back bump. Johnson connected with a flying bodypress for the pin. (2) Chad Parham won an 11 man Mega Rumble to determine the number one contender for the NWA Anarchy heavyweight title (30:25) The Mega Rumble was the pet specialty match of a former Wildside booker with the initials BB. It’s over the top eliminations with a new contestant entering every 3 minutes. Onyx was scheduled to play a major part in this match but was called away on business, so they had to go to plan B. Good match for action and there was some great selling. It had its share of glitches and hitches as well. Mikal Adryan’s status as the premier monster was upheld, but there were hints of that twisted Triple H psychology where the heel is outnumbered and the faces look weak. Attorney Jeff G. Bailey entered the ring with the NWA Anarchy heavyweight title belt. Bailey said the undefeated Adryan had already beaten everyone in the locker room numerous times, so why bother with the match? Bailey said he would change his name, too, if his career stunk like Kory Chavis (formerly Rainman) and Chad Parham (formerly Gabriel). Bailey claimed that he already knew the winner of the match and the people would soon know as well. Bailey joined John Johnson in the announcer’s booth. Ken Westbrooks and Hayden Young started it out face vs. face. Young’s new entrance works much better than the old one. Young literally explodes off the mat when he goes airborne. He’s got a bright future if he can stay healthy. Westbrooks and Young went down on a double clothesline. Jeff Lewis entered the match and beat on both of them. Westbrooks and Young blitzed Lewis with double teams. Lewis incapacitated them with a double low blow. Lewis ambushed Slim J as he came down the ramp and ran him into the post. J appeared to be out cold. J’s feet were dragging on the ground as a corps of referees helped him to the back. Westbrooks and Young eliminated Lewis with a double clothesline at 8:30. Seth Delay was next. He potatoed Westbrooks with a flying forearm. Westbrooks blasted Young with a forearm shot and hit a german suplex on Delay. “Precious” Patrick Bentley entered the fray wearing some overly Speedoesque trunks. Delay and Bentley got the advantage on Delay and Bentley. Young nailed Bentley with slingshot senton. Delay was on the verge of elimination, but he managed to hang on to the ropes and Westbrooks went flying over the top at 14:30. A huge masked man, obviously Mikal Adyran, entered the match. Ring announcer Kevin Marx introduced him as “Mikal Adryan. Oops. Bailey informed Marx that it was “The One Man Mafia” not Adryan. Adryan eliminated Young with a fallaway slam over the top. Just an insane bump. Guys attacked Adryan. Adryan shrugged off their offense before finally succumbing to a double dropkick. But not for long. Adryan gave Guys a double chokeslam and dumped the both of them at 17:10. Parham was next. Parham decked Adryan with a dropkick to the shins and went after the mask. Adryan ducked an enzuigiri and gave Parham an Assisted Suicide. Parham landed in the ropes. Adryan pounded Parham’s head into the turnbuckle and generally made his life miserable. Parham ended up collapsed in a heap at ringside. Chavis entered to a great pop. Chavis hit the best corkscrew dropkick of his career and overwhelmed Adryan. Chavis turned his attention to Parham allowing Adyran to make a comeback. Chavis hit an amazing Spinesplitta on Adyran and applied the Hillside Strangler. No submissions in this match. Adryan eliminated Chavis at 23:30. Dan Wilson showed up with Azrael and a new recruit for Devil’s Rejects, a monster-sized dude under a mask. Rejects were beating up on Chavis until Brandon P ran down the ramp carrying a big stick. He whacked the giant with the stick. It didn’t seem to faze the big oaf, but Rejects retreated from whence they came. Adryan greeted P with a hotshot and choked the life out of him. Adryan had the bodies of Parham and P stacked up when Todd Sexton entered. Sensing trouble, Bailey came to ringside. Sexton was on fire. Adryan went face down after absorbing a three-on-one beating, but the faces couldn’t keep him down. Adryan eliminated P at 29 minutes. Bailey tried to pull the ropes down on Sexton, but Sexton landed on the apron and punked out Bailey. Adryan capitalized with a blindside elbow to eliminate Sexton at 30 minutes. Adryan missed a Mafia kick and skewered his nuts on the top rope. With Adryan bobbing in agony on the top rope, Parham toppled him with a top rope double stomp for the win. Marx announced Adryan vs. Sexton in a non-title match at “Fight For Life,” a special Friday night benefit show at the NWA Arena on 12/9, and Adryan vs. Parham for the title at Holiday Havoc on 12/30. Adryan removed the mask. Bailey was livid. Adryan bellowed that neither one of them had what it takes. Delay and Bentley came out to congratulate Parham. Delay was wearing a hilarious Lucky Charms t-shirt. (3) Bad Dogg & Hector Navarro defeated Skitzo & Brett Thunder in 12 minutes flat This was the Texas Wrestling Academy match. Paltry heat because nobody really cares about these guys. Rudy Boy Gonzalez was introduced as their coach. Skitzo is known as the “Rock ‘n Roll Ninja” which would appear to be a dig a at Rudy Boy’s former student Darrin “Rock ‘n Roll Nightmare” Childs. Bad Dogg is a stocky black guy with bleached blonde hair. He looked very much like a black wrestler that worked the Atlanta area a generation ago named the Big O. Dogg fell through the ropes selling a dropkick that didn’t make contact. Dogg held his hand out for a tag and Navarro tagged him in the back instead. So much for teamwork. Skitzo hit a legsweep off the ropes. Gonzalez had words with Dogg. The heels (Dogg and Navarro) worked Thunder over. Thunder made a tag that the ref didn’t see. Finally, Thunder nailed an enzuigiri to tag Skitzo. He cleaned up with dropkicks. Skitzo and Thunder hit Total Destruction’s old finisher, the Ezy Rider, but the pin attempt was broken up. Dogg had Skitzo pinned with a sideslam but Thunder broke that up with a moonsault. Dogg then speared Thunder out of his boots for the 1-2-3. Gonzalez entered the ring and gave Thunder a stern lecture for his sorry, losing ways. (4) Jeremy V & Jason Blackman & Alabama Attitude (Adam Roberts & T. C. Carnage) beat Urban Assault Squad (Shadow Jackson & Nemesis) & Pomp and Circumstance (Ace Rockwell & Shaun Tempers) in a Mob Roolz match when Rockwell was unable to answer the bell (36:15) The deal was the team winning a fall got to pick a member of the opposing team and administer a four-on-one beating for 60 seconds. The match would continue until the beatdown victim was unable to answer the bell. Unfortunately, the mob stipulation proved to be more interesting as a concept than the reality of the match. After a hot start, it kind of fizzled. Asking the talent involved to do a 36-minute main event level gimmick match was asking a lot under any circumstances. The selling needed to be off the charts and it never approached that level. UAS got by far the best pop of the night. The evil V got the most heel heat. The fans busted out the “kill the Crackers” chant, as the good guys dominated the first fall. Rockwell had a hot house cleaning segment. Blackman took some good bumps. The rudos won the first fall when Tempers tried to suplex V back to the inside. Blackman grabbed Tempers by the leg and held on while V got the pin at 8:30. Jackson was chosen as the victim for the mob action segment. This was good. In the midst of taking punishment, Jackson made a hot comeback and the heels responded with a wicked beatdown. Jackson made it to his feet for fall number two. Jackson hit a stunner and got a tag. Nemesis did a flip to his feet and leveled V with a lariat. Great spot. Not so great, was the botched finish. On take two, Rockwell countered Blackman’s spiral slam with a DDT at 17:01. Roberts was the chosen victim for an all around thrashing. But he struggled to his feet and the match continued. Early in fall number three, V sidestepped and rammed Nemesis’ shoulder into the post. Dissection of the body part ensued. Rockwell ran wild off the hot tag, but Blackman caught him with a backbreaker. It was curtains. The heels destroyed Rockwell’s back. The thing dissolved into an ugly schmozz. In the ensuing chaos, Alabama Attitude pinned Rockwell with the Attitude Adjustment. Rockwell defied the heels with a one finger salute and paid dearly for it. The fans chanted “Let’s go Ace,” but it was not to be. Tempers slapped Rockwell’s hand away in disgust and walked out on him. UAS asked the fans to give it up for Rockwell.
