Deep South Wrestling ran their weekly television taping at the DSW Arena in McDonough, Georgia last night. This big news coming out of show was the announcement that DSW will debut on Comcast Sports South this Sunday at 11pm. Ring announcer Ted Guinness opened the evening with the announcement of the television show. The CSS deal makes DSW available in 4.5 million homes across the Southeast. To this point, DSW’s sole television outlet has been WCAG in LaGrange, Ga. Guinness introduced Nigel Sherrod and Michelle McCool as the announce team for the dark matches. (1) Eric Perez pinned Heath Miller in 5:59 Strong heat. Good match. The crowd liked Miller as the game, underdog babyface. Miller worked the arm until Perez sent his head into the middle turnbuckle. Perez got frustrated when he was unable to put Miller away with a buttefly suplex. Miller escaped from a Canadian backbreaker position to nail a dropkick. Miller hit a missile dropkick for a near fall. Perez won it with an implant DDT. (2) Scott Fantastic beat Cru Jones in 5:05 Jones’ sneering arrogance gets heat. He had his “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” catch phrase emblazoned on his tights. Fantastic made it clear that he wasn’t taking any crap from Jones, and made him pay with a high backdrop. Jones hooked the ropes to dodge a dropkick. Jones mauled and brawled. Fantastic missed a Hoganesque legdrop, but Jones’ elbow drop also missed the mark. Comeback time. Fantastic hit a double leg lariat and shook the ropes ala Warrior. But a lame spinning heel kick hit nothing but thin air. Jones’ leg lariat connected. Jones went for an arrogant back cover that Fantastic reversed with a sloppy crucifix. Some high comedy prior to this match when Guinness tripped going up the ringsteps. Guinness made a nice recovery by saying that’s what happens when you’re not trained by DSW. (3) Tommy Suede beat Biohazard in 4:34 This match had its share of awkward moments. Suede won it with a split-legged moonsault. (4) Oleg Prudius submitted Antonio Mestre in 2:56 Prudius sang the Russian national anthem. Shades of Nikolai Volkoff. Prudius is a brute, tall and thick. Prudius adopted an MMA stance. Mestre’s acrobatic Capoeira routine was useless against the superior size and power of Prudius, who began to work the leg. Prudius looked fully capable of snapping Mestre’s leg like a twig. Intermission. McCool and Sherrod handled the drawing for WWE merchandise. Angel Williams joined Sherrod on color commentary for the television taping. The show opened with a promo by O’Reilly on the DSWtron. Apparently, O’Reilly has issues with Sonny Siaki. O’Reilly said Siaki was insulting him and the DSW fans. O’Reilly said Siaki was stepping into his house, “The Roughhouse.” (5) “Roughhouse” O’Reilly beat Mikal Adryan in 3:32 O’Reilly is over bigtime. O’Reilly punished Adryan on the mat. Adryan blinded O’Reilly with an eye rake and took full advantage of the vision impairment. Adryan cut off a comeback with an elbow to the chops and a lariat for a near fall. But O’Reilly was not to be denied. Adryan bumped. O’Reilly ducked a lariat, hit a flying lariat, and fired up. Full nelson slam. 1-2-3. An impressive win for O’Reilly, because Adryan goes 6-7 and 285 and in no way resembles a pushover. “Ebony and Ivory”, Damien Steele and Ray Gordy did a backstage promo. It’s a reversal of racial stereotypes, with Steele as a preppy guy with perfect diction and a sweater around his neck, and Gordy in a do rag and going ghetto style, using expressions like “dawg” and “whoop that ass.” (6) Damien Steele & Ray Gordy beat “Mr. Number One” Cocky Siaki & Bradley Jay in 5:32 To demonstrate just how confused “R.G” is, the dude has bleached blonde hair with splotches of black mixed in. Ebony and Ivory were in control until Jay interfered to set up the heat on Gordy. Jay knocked Steele off the apron to prevent a tag, and the heels continued to beat on Gordy. Gordy was able to escape from Jay’s middle rope tumbleweed. Didn’t expect to see that move from Jay. Hot tag. Steele with a northern lights on Jay and Siaki saved. Gordy disposed of Siaki. Steele hit a flying bodypress to pin Jay. Good match. Smackdown General Manager, Theodore R. Long entered the ring for a special announcement that effectively wrote Palmer Canon out of the storyline. Long said he had seen the tapes from DSW showing how much fun the peeps were having. Long said that Canon appeared to be trying to stop the fun. Long announced that Canon was no longer allowed in DSW. Most of the crowd popped, but there were a fair amount of boos mixed in, as Canon was the character fans loved to hate. Long called a masked Nick Patrick into the ring (Canon had previously fired Patrick from DSW). Long told Patrick it was OK to take off the mask. Canon’s “legal representative” Quentin Michaels entered the ring. Michaels wanted to know what gave Long the right to get rid of Canon. Michaels asked for proof. Long shut Michaels up by presenting him with legal documents. “You have no case, so get to stepping.” Guinness announced that Assassin had been reinstated as the President of DSW. Dueling backstage promos were up next, firstly, by “The Puerto Rican Nightmare” Perez and MVP, and then one from High Impact with Tracy Taylor. Impact started getting hyped up and talking about the 4th quarter. Taylor boosted their motivation by promising to reward a victory by getting them laid High Impact style. (7) High Impact (Tony Santarelli & Mike Taylor with Tracy Taylor) beat Eric Perez & Montel Vontavious Porter (with Quentin Michaels) in 5:54 Best heat of the night. The crowd wasted no time chanting for Tony. Impact used quick tags to work on the arm of Perez. MVP kicked Santarelli in the face when the ref wasn’t looking. MVP laid in a forearm to the kidneys. Santarelli used a knee to the face to block a vertical suplex. Santarelli kept making dynamic, energetic comebacks. The heels knocked Mike off the apron to prevent a tag. MVP strangled Santarelli with a towel. Santarelli jacked MVP’s jaw and went through the legs of Perez to make the tag. The heels fed Mike. He pulled the ropes down to dump MVP. Santarelli followed with a pescado. Perez hit a sitout facebuster on Mike, who rolled through to score the pinfall. Megapop for the finish. Tracy placed congratulatory Hawaiian leis around the necks of Santarelli and Mike in the postmatch. (8) Francisco Ciatso beat Onyx in 4:12 The crowd was spent after the last match. Pretty much even up until Ciatso hit his finisher, a variation of a jawbreaker. We saw an enraged Bill DeMott deliver a ringside promo on DSWtron with Freakin’ Deacon lurking about. DeMott refered to the incident from two weeks ago where Gymini brained him with a computer. “I don’t like him (Deacon). How do you think I feel about you?” said DeMott. Gyminis responded with a promo. They called Demott an “office stooge” and said he was in for the beating of his life. They made light of him having a partner that played with spiders. (9) Gymini beat Bill DeMott & Freakin Deacon via DQ in 5:10 This was a close second to the High Impact match for heat. The fans didn’t like Gymini to begin with, and they’re really bringing the hate as a result of the twin skinheads heinous attack on DeMott. And they’re in love Deacon since his babyface turn. DeMott and Deacon attacked Gymini before they made it to the ring. A brief but heated brawl ensued. On the inside, Gymini gave DeMott a double hiptoss. The body of the match was heat on DeMott with the crowd was itching for Deacon to make the tag. Finally, DeMott spiked Mike (or Jesse) with a DDT. DeMott hot-tagged Deacon, who cleaned house. Gymini resorted to doubling up on Deacon. DeMott then clocked Mike with knucks for the DQ. Gymini bailed. DeMott threatened to bust ref Mike Posey’s melon with the knucks. Posey ran for his life. The alliance between Deacon and DeMott remained on shaky grounds. They declined to shake hands. Deacon left through the front door as per usual. The crowd started heading towards the exit, as they have been trained that a DSW show rarely goes longer than 2 hours. Guinness did his best to reel them in. (10) Mike Knox beat Mark Jindrak in 4:09 Jindrak is everything the WWE could ask for in terms of height and the cut up physique. Knox ducked away from Jindrak’s corner splash and gave him a beating. Knox used an abdominal stretch. Jindrak made the big comeback with a pair of lariats and his trademark dropkick, building it to a very near fall. But Jindrak crashed and burned on a springboard crossbody, and Knox quickly moved in for the kill with the Whipit.
