NWA Anarchy returned to the friendly confines of the NWA Arena in Cornelia, Georgia for their bimonthly television taping. The show was heavily weighted in the direction of storyline development. The focus was on the circumstances surrounding the title matches that are a lock to headline Hardcore Hell on 3/11. As for the wrestling, there was a fair amount of smoke and mirrors, which was smart given the depleted lineup. The product is now being viewed by a live audience largely made up of fresh, young eyes. Unlike the jaded Wildside regulars, who had seen everything, it’s a whole new ballgame for this group, and the education process is underway. Gone are the days when it was like pulling teeth to get a response from the NWA Arena crowd. Ring announcer “Pee Wee” Ernie Rich with an update on the injuries suffered by Seth Delay and Chad Parham during the main event two weeks ago. Delay came out of with a concussion. Rich said Parham’s throat injury was severe enough to put his title match at Hardcore Hell in jeopardy. Attorney/Agent Jeff G. Bailey and his pride and joy, the NWA Anarchy Champion, Mikal Adryan entered the ring to the malevolent sound of Sid Vicious’ “My Way.” Bailey was more than happy to take credit for the injuries to Delay and Parham. Bailey said Delay was left for dead and should have been deposited in the dumpster where garbage like him belongs. Bailey claimed Parham’s career was over. Bailey made light of Anarchy owner Jerry Palmer’s career as a fireman. Bailey wondered if Palmer was too ignorant to become a cop, because cops need at least a GED. The appearance of Palmer at ringside got a huge pop. Palmer said Parham would be at Hardcore Hell. Palmer admitted that Bailey had pinned Patrick Bentley at the last show. Bailey said he could beat anybody in the building. Palmer wanted to see if Bailey could pin Bentley again. Bailey said he never claimed to be a wrestler but he was a bad mofo. Bailey said he would do another match but only with a no DQ stipulation, because he intended to split Bentley’s head like an overripe melon. Palmer had an epiphany. He said OK on one condition. If Bailey won the match, he could pick the stipulation for Adryan vs. Parham at Hardcore Hell, but if Bentley won, then Parham got to pick the stip. Strong segment. Palmer is great in the role in the same way Danny Davis is in OVW. He comes across like a real owner rather than a “Sports Entertainment” owner. The NWA Anarchy Television Champion, Jeff Lewis made his way to the ring. Lewis said he had given Hayden Young three shots at the title and look at who was still the champ. “Three strikes and you’re out.” Lewis said he was going to take the night off from defending the title, but offered to put on an exhibition with some “lucky boy” in the back. (1) Adrian Hawkins pinned Jeff Lewis in a non-title match at 2:32 Lewis was pulling Hawkins up from a pin within the first 30 seconds. It looked like Hawkins had nothing for him. As “The Feature Presentation” was preparing to put Hawkins out of his misery, his intro music played played, and Hayden Young appeared on the ramp wearing Lewis’ robe. Lewis lost his composure. That gave Hawkins a chance to schoolboy Lewis for the flash pin. Hawkins joined Young on the ramp for a mocking celebration. The finish got over great with the crowd. (2) Jeremy V & Jason Blackman defeated Texas Treats (Don Juan & Chris Marval) to retain the NWA Anarchy Tag Team Titles in 9:07 I’m a mark for Treats, so I knew this would be fun. They have the smooth functioning of a true tag team. V and Blackman are just plain nasty. Treats hit some nice combo moves as they dominated the opening minutes. The match did an abrupt turnaround when the champs converted Don Juan’s spinning headscissors into a wicked double team hotshot. Juan took a bigtime beating here. Blackman used the old Wildside foot tag. Blackman took a doozy of a bump on Juan’s backdrop, which made for a great hope spot. Juan used an RKO to set up the hot tag. Treats hit the veg-o-matic elbow drop on V. Blackman saved. Marval took a major flying bump onto the rail. V then pinned Juan with a top rope Hart Attack. I don’t think Juan was the legal man, not that it matters in the grand scheme of things. Dan “The Dragon” Wilson lead what was left of Devil’s Rejects into the ring for their match against Ace Rockwell and Brandon P. Wilson labeled the restraining order against Iceberg and Tank as “a miscarriage of justice.” Wilson said two can play at that game. Wilson produced a restraining order that he had taken out against Ace Rockwell on behalf of Shaun Tempers. Wilson said it was too bad that Rockwell didn’t read his mail because he was now in violation of the order. Two of Cornelia’s finest came out to escort Rockwell from the building. Palmer tried to intervene. Wilson kept bitching at the cops to put the cuffs on Rockwell, until one of the cops threatened to lock Wilson up. The crowd popped huge for it. They had the right guy for the job. This dude looked like he meant business. (3) The Devil’s Rejects (Azrael & Shaun Tempers with Wilson & Dominous) beat Brandon P in 8:03 So it was P against insurmountable odds. Like Paul Heyman has better chances of being invited to Stefanie McMahon’s baby shower. Great spot for P, or any babyface for that matter. P opened with a double lariat. Then he got clubbed in the eye. Azrael hit spinning heel kick to the back of the head. Azrael was at his sadistic best for the second show a row. P brought the fire and the crowd got behind him. Wilson jabbed P with his sceptre . P’s last gasp haymaker connected on Tempers. Speedy Nelson’s attention deficit disorder came into play. Wilson distracted him forever. P was setting up for the Orange Crush Bomb when Azrael punted his face and smoked him with a cutthroat piledriver. Tempers locked in a grounded cobra clutch and P was toast. Rejects were almost out the back door when Wilson decided to bring Dominous back for more. Dominouse elevated P. Rockwell hit the ring with kendo stick. The first shot got the disfigured freak’s attention. A couple more and Dominous was at least stunned. Rockwell took Dominous over the top with a kendo stick clothesline. Wilson proposed a match for the next TV: If Rockwell could beat one of his guys, Wilson would drop the restraining order and give Rockwell a match against Tempers at Hardcore Hell. “Good luck,” said Wilson. (4) Texas Wrestling Academy All-Stars (Brett Thunder & Big Dogg & Hector Navarro & Skitzo with Rudy Boy Gonzalez) beat Henry Hoss & Quentin Allen & Randall Johnson & Spector in 9:45 Hoss came to the ring surrounded by his miniature minions. It didn’t take long for Hoss and Dogg to go at it. Once they locked up, it was like superglue, and it was impossible for referee Brent Wiley to separate them. All eyes were on Dogg and Hoss as they brawled to the back. The match continued with some fast-paced action featuring Allen and Thunder. The TWA guys got heat on Johnson. They hit Total Destruction’s Ezy Rider finisher (vertical suplex/top rope splash). They did a contrived dive sequence that got zero pop. The dives were OK but nobody cares about these guys. The finish was all about the dissension between Thunder and Gonzalez. Thunder escaped an axe kick by Allen. Gonzalez jumped in and superkicked Allen. While Thunder argued with Gonzalez, Navarro scored the pin. Gonzalez slapped Thunder. Fans wanted to see them get it on, but Thunder’s partners held him back. (5) Ken Westbrooks beat Fast Eddie in 11:48 Technical wrestling of the caliber Eddie produces is what Anarchy lacks right now. It’s not at the John Cena level, but Westbrooks is over with the female fans and not so much with the male fans. Westbrooks is shedding his whitemeat babyface in a hurry. Last time, he refused to a postmatch show of respect from Tony Mamaluke. This time, he told the shriekers known as Poodle Attack Squad to turn down the volume. They started on the mat. Westbrooks forced Eddie to the ropes. Eddie hit a neckbreaker across the knee to take over. Eddie kicked the crap out of Westbrooks’ spine. Eddie worked over Westbrooks neck. Eddie hit a neckbreaker from a cradle piledriver position. A capture suplex by Westbrooks left both men down. Westbrooks got a near fall with an overhead suplex. Eddie hit a lungblower from a torture rack position for the hands down coolest move of the night. Westbrooks managed to kick out. Westbrooks blocked the Fasteddious and hit a super exploder suplex. Westbrooks didn’t hit it clean and Eddie kicked out. Eddie came right back with the Russian Legsweep from Hell for a near fall. Westbrooks applied a Fujiwara armbar. Eddie inched his way to the ropes. The finish saw Westbrooks eat an elbow charging in to the corner. Eddie went for the pin, but ref Justin Bradley saw that Eddie’s feet were all over the ropes. The credibility was killed by the fact that Bradley could see Eddie’s feet on the ropes before he started the count. Westbrooks then pinned Eddie with a handful of tights. Westbrooks is turning out to be a complex character. A push is one thing. A clean win over Eddie would have been shoving Westbrooks down the fans’ throats. (6) “Precious” Patrick Bentley beat Jeff G. Bailey (with Mikal Adryan) in 6:26 Bailey’s paunch was readily apparent beneath his Dan Morgan Carolina Panthers jersey. Bailey frustrated Bentley by refusing to lock up. Bailey bailed. Bentley made a major miscalculation by chasing Bailey around the ring. Adryan mowed Bentley down and launched him onto the guard rail. Bentley was in agony. The slimy attorney was oozing confidence now. Bailey pounced on Bentley with punches and chokes. Bailey actually dropped an elbow for a two count. Bailey did a hilarious vertical suplex that required an assist from Adryan. Bailey covered with one finger. Adryan leveled Bentley with the Mafia kick, and Bailey pulled Bentley up at the count of two. It was curtains for Bentley when an unidentified masked man bolted into the ring. The masked man superkicked Adryan. The superkick looked familiar. Bailey backed away and fell over Bentley, who rolled him up for the pin. Bailey was stunned. Fans chanted “1-2-3” at Bailey. (7) Urban Assault Squad (Nemesis & Shadow Jackson) beat Alabama Attitude (Adam Roberts & T. C. Carnage) in a no DQ/no count out match to earn a title shot at Hardcore Hell (15 minutes) A balls-to-the-wall brawl, some of it good, all of it hot and stiff. V and Blackman were out as guest commentators. You just knew that was going to lead to problems. F*** the introductions. The action spilled down the ramp as UAS bashed the Alabamians with trash can lids. Nemesis gave Carnage an Angle slam on the floor. Carnage tossed Nemesis into the announcing booth. V laughed at the violence. Carnage blasted both members of UAS with chairshots. The Alabamians gave Jackson the Attitude Adjustment onto a steel chair. Jackson somehow got a shoulder up. While Roberts had Jackson in Boston crab, Carnage smashed Jackson’s face into a chair with a guillotine drop to the neck. Jackson looked like he was killed dead. Nemesis tried to go one against two. Roberts cut Nemesis down with another chairshot. Jackson got up bleeding from the forehead. Carnage sent Jackson’s noggin into the post. Attitude kept cutting off Jackson’s fiery comebacks. Jackson’s facials were nothing short of awesome. Attitude gave the girls in the first row a close up of Jackson’s crimson mask. Nemesis kicked out of everything the Alabamians could throw at him. Carnage ripped the pad off a turnbuckle, but Nemesis was able to send Carnage into the exposed metal with an exploder suplex. Nemesis hit a double neckbreaker on Attitude. The crowd roared their approval. Jackson pulled a noose from somewhere. The crowd chanted “Hang the Honkies.” Sho enuff, UAS pinned Carnage with a double team noose jerk. The crowd reveled in the UAS victory, the finale of this bitter feud. But the celebration was short lived. V and Blackman attacked UAS and left them laying to close the show. NOTES: The show drew another healthy crowd (150), especially considering the sucky weather…The 3/4 show has Rockwell vs. Dominous, Young vs. Westbrooks and an open challenge by Mikal Adryan…Palmer has made further upgrades to the facility, including a swank fortress for the hard camera, complete with chain link fence exterior that is right in line with the Anarchy motif…Slim J is recovering from an accumulation of back problems and hopes to be back in the ring soon. |
