| July 13, 2006 My Summer Sizzler Tour of Southern Rasslin kicked off with Deep South Wrestling’s weekly television taping at the Deep South Arena in McDonough, Georgia Thursday night. The dark matches got underway with Nigel Sherrod and Kristal Marshall on commentary. (1) Lawrence Tyler pinned Shamus at 5:30 Tyler comes to DSW via Impact Zone Wrestling, the same Arizona-based promotion where Derrick Neikirk, Mike Knox and Antonio Mestre all wrestled. Tyler doesn’t have the height WWE covets, but he’s got the muscular build and awesome bleached blonde sideburns. Shamus is local indie guy with limited experience. Shamus used a victory roll early. Shamus tried an ill-advised up and over and Tyler clubbed the crap out of him. Tyler’s heeling got heat. Tyler hit a stalling vertical suplex for a near fall. Shamus capped off his comeback with a spinning headscissors before Tyler planted him with a spinebuster. (2) Kenny Omega beat Francisco Ciatso in 6:09 Krissy Vaine was the ref. Ciatso’s new look drew a “your not Rhino” chant. Omega has a good deep arm drag and throws stiff chops. Ciatso tried for a Boston crab but Omega reversed it for a two count. Ciatso hit a flapjack for a near fall and worked on Omega’s back with the Boston crab. Omega fired back with stiff forerarm and elbow strikes. Omega used a Flying Burrito forearm for a near fall. Ciatso tried for the Fuhgedaboudit, but Omega had it scouted. Omega got the pin with Sliced Bread #2. Good match. Omega was impressive here. (3) Cru Jones beat Antonio Mestre in 5:14 The fans gave Jones grief for his ridiculously colorful tights straight out of the Ultimate Warrior collection. Mestre was seconded by his Gameboy. Mestre hit a monkey flip early. Mestre had things going his way, until Jones caught him with a killer hotshot for a near fall. Jones hit a back suplex and kept it on the mat. Mestre’s comeback featured a high crossbody and a roaring elbow, both for near falls. Mestre went for another monkey flip, but Jones blocked it and go the pin with a handful of tights. Another strong performance by Jones. Ring announcer Ted Guinness announced that Deep South Wrestling would return to Six Flags over Georgia on August 11 with a 6pm bell time. (4) High Impact (Tony Santarelli & Mike Taylor with Tracy Taylor) beat Bradley Jay & Chris Rombola in 5:18 Rombola looks like the prototype of the John Lauranitis development prospect. I hope that isn’t the kiss of death. Jay wasn’t happy with Rombola’s cocky attitude, being that they lost last week. Impact got their usual monster babyface pop. Impact isolated Rombola and worked over his shoulder. Jay stuck a sneaky knee in Santarelli’s back to turn the tide. Jay worked on Santarelli’s back with a bearhug. Jay hit his Kamikaze roll and tagged Rombola in to make the pin. Santarelli kicked out and pinned Rombola with a crucifix. Jay was hot at Rombola for losing weeks in a row. “Queen Diva” Angel Williams commandeered the merchandise drawing with the able assistance of Luscious. Williams told Guinness to “assume the position” of leaning against the ringpost with his thumb up his ass. Guinness announced that “Assassin” Jody Hamilton’s autobiography “The Man Behind the Mask” is now available at www.crowbarpress.com. The television taping got underway with Bill DeMott joining Sherrod on commentary. On the big screen, we saw Assassin enter the locker room to announce a match to determine the number one contender for the DSW tag titles. Assassin said the folks who usually decide such things based on rankings don’t know a padlock from a wristlock. Assassin said he put his faith in performance, and announced a four-way match with the first time to take a fall would become the number one contenders. Backstage promo by Freakin Deacon. This was difficult to hear, but I believe he was mourning the loss of his beloved tarantula, Willow. Deacon said his opponent was going to feel the wrath of sneakin Deacon. The crowd popped for the punch line. (1) Freakin Deacon decimated Onyx in a minute and a half Deacon is the number two babyface in DSW right behind Ryan O’Reilly. Deacon has cut off the curly hair that was part of his distinctively freaky look. Onyx attacked before the bell. Deacon leveled Onyx with a big boot and strangled him. But Onyx wasn’t going down without a fight. Onyx took to the air, and Deacon caught him with a devatasting powerbomb for the pinfall. Angel Williams asked Danny Gimundo to shed light on his recent actions concerning Tommy Suede (Gimundo threw a towel in causing Suede to lose his match last week). Gimundo said he didn’t need Suede’s help (against Johnny Parisi) and claimed to be the best thing going in DSW. Gimundo said he would be the number one contender if not for breaking his wrist. Gimundo said he was going to take Suede to school. (2) Danny Gimundo beat Tommy Suede in 5:16 This match was a struggle and not in a good way. Gimundo walked into a stiff lariat for a near fall. Suede missed badly with a dropkick. Gimundo didn’t sell it and pounded on Suede. Gimundo choked Suede with his wrist tape. Gimundo used a kneedrop and a kneelift for near falls. Gimundo smacked Suede across the face. That got Suede fired up. Gimundo delivered a series of wicked stomps to the head. Suede countered a hangman neckbreaker with a backslide. Suede hit an STO for a near fall. Gimundo went for a bulldog and Suede countered with a huracanrana for a near fall. Gimundo clocked Suede while standing on the apron and got the pin with his feet on the ropes. Attorney Quentin Michaels was backstage with his favorite client, Montel Vontavious Porter. MVP was anxious about the big announcement. Michaels wanted to hold off. Michaels said MVP had a non-title match against Ryan O’Reilly. MVP was pissed that O’Reilly didn’t have the testicular fortitude to put the title up so he could add it to his collection of platinum. MVP said the fans didn’t have to like him, but they would have to respect him. Ryan O’Reilly said the obstacle to his dream of success in pro wrestling was his knee surgery. O’Reilly said the doctors told him he would be out for 12 weeks and he was back in six. O’Reilly said he had two things: his heart and the DSW gold. (3) Ryan O’Reilly beat MVP (with Quentin Michaels) via DQ in 4:54 The opening minutes of this match had the best (only?) mat wrestling of the night. Good stuff. MVP lowered a shoulder into O’Reilly’s gut on the break. MVP hit a neckbreaker and worked the body part. MVP gave O’Reilly a two foot face wash in the corner. O’Reilly used the ropes to spring to his feet and hit a flying forearm. The crowed chanted “O-Ri-lee, O-Ri-lee, O-Ri-lee.” Michaels grabbed O’Reilly’s leg to distract. But O’Reilly saw MVP coming and decked him. Michaels got on the apron and O’Reilly backhanded him. O’Reilly hit a Thesz press on MVP. Michaels jumped on O’Reilly’s back for the DQ. O’Reilly had Michaels collared when MVP nailed him from behind. O’Reilly recovered and posed with the belt as the fans chanted his name. We saw brief backstage promos by all four teams involved in the main event. (4) Urban Assault (Eric Perez & Sonny Siaki) beat Ebony & Ivory (Ray Geezy & Damien Steel) and Major Brothers (Brett & Brian) and Team Elite (Derrick Neikirk & Mike Knox) in 12:50 to become the number one contenders for the DSW tag titles Knox got a decent “ECW” chant. Urban Assault easily got the best heel heat of the night. Backstage coin flips determined that Majors and Elite would start it out. Brian looked strong in the early going. But Elite blasted Brett’s chest with a double chop. It looked like the dude was having an asthma attack. Geezy tagged himself in and was running wild until he ventured into the Assault’s corner and…well, they assaulted him. Siaki clipped Geezy’s knee. Assault made a wish with Geezy’s groin. Knox delivered a series of DDTs to the knee and applied a single leg crab. While Assault and Elite were destroying his knee, Geezy started bleeding from a hardway cut around the right eye. Gordy finally managed to backdrop Siaki and make the hot tag. Steele did his high elevation dropkick. Steele did a reverse DDT on Perez and Knox broke up the pin. Steele hit a flying forearm and Majors made the save. Elite started brawling with Majors. Assault seized on the opportunity with a neckbreaker/powerbomb combo to pin Steele. Great heat. Best match of the night. NOTES: Hamilton had a lot of interesting things to say in an interview conducted on this week’s edition of Wrestling Informer Weekly. Hamilton said that DSW television would be available over the internet in the very near future. Hamilton also said that DSW’s plans for a year down the road included running 3-4 house shows per week in towns within a 200 mile radius of their home base…Hamilton listed O’Reilly, Neikirk, Santarelli, Taylor, MVP and Perez as DSW wrestlers that he expected to move up to the main roster within the next 6 months. Neikirk and O’Reilly start on the road with ECW next week. To hear the entire interview go to Wrestling Informer Weekly. |
