Arturo Zaldana sent in the following report:

I attended Booker T's PWA event entitled "MayDay Melee" which was at The Pasadena Convention Center. Attendance was the same as last event, around 550 poeple packed the arena. Booker T was the special guest ring announcer for the night.

1st Match) Samson def. Santana at 7:02 in a PWA Tournament Qualifying Match
This was a good match. As soon as the bell rang, Samson was praying (My Guess) and Santana wasted no time and attacked Samson from behind, after this Samson dominated Santana, until Santana started hurting Samson's knee, which weaken Samson now at this time Santana was in control of the match, crowd started chanting "Samson". Santana still worked over the knee until Samson made a big comeback and just started beating up Santana. Samson does an irish whip to Santana and there was the camera guy standing at the apron and Santana almost hit him, Samson came back with a scoop slam and finished the match with a huge splash.

2nd Match) Neico def. Mike Fox at 8:43 in a PWA Tournament Qualifying Match
Mike Fox made his PWA debut, billed from Dallas, TX. The crowd heavily booed him. At the beginning of the match Mike "chicken out" from Neico, so Neico started telling him "Are you here to fight" and from there they started wrestling. Back to back match, Mike nailed Neico with a vicious closeline. Neico came back and did a suplex to Mike. Finish came when Neico performed a Flying Crossbody Slam from the top ropes for the win.

3rd Match) Steve Cody def. V.I.P w/ M.V.P at 6:52 in a PWA Tournament Qualifying Match
MVP started yelling VIP at the beginning of the match telling him to hurry up so they can get out of Pasadena, TX. About 3 minutes into the match Steve started mimicing MVP, which made MVP furious. Throughout the match MVP was you can say "The Coach" of VIP telling him that either it was weak what he did or if it was strong. Finish came when VIP irished whiped Steve to the turnbuckle in which the referee was there and knocked him out, MVP then brought a steel chair and waited to hit Steve, but as soon as Steve got up, VIP threw the chair back to MVP. Everybody was shocked for this and made even more furious MVP. Steve came from behind and defeated VIP via a roll-up.

Aftermath: MVP got in the ring and told VIP that he was a champion and that if VIP wanted to be a champion that he needed to get his head in the ring, then MVP started telling VIP that he didn't have the "heart" to wrestle. VIP then grabbed the mic and was about to say something but MVP took it away from him and slapped him! MVP left to the back, VIP was left in the ring, interviewer Johnny Bravo came to the ring and tried to interview VIP but VIP refused, he left ashamed.

4th Match) Dawg Cheetum w/ Rosa Salvage def. Chris Adams at 7:00 in a "Dog Rules Match".
Dawg is doing a "Bounty Hunter" gimmick, and Rosa is his wife. The meaning of "Dog Rules" is that anything was legal, such as a steel chair & a nightstick was used in the match. This match came when Chris stated that he was tired of Dawg & Rosa of always cheat their way in their matches. The match then starts and you can say that this was a 2 on 1 Handicap Match as Rosa got involved majority of the match, Dawg threw several times Chris to the outside, Rosa interfiered whenever this happen, Dawg then takes Chris to the ramp and does a scoop slam. Then Dawg throws into the guardrail, in which Chris landed really hard. Dawg threw him back in the ring and Rosa threw in a steel chair, Dawg was going to hit Chris but Chris ducked and kicked Dawg. Chris then came with a crossbody slam and went for the pin and he almost was going to win but Rosa broke it up. Finally Dawg pinned Chris.

Aftermath: Dawg & Rosa kept on beating Chris. Then Dawg puts the handcuffs on Chris and at this time security came and told Rosa & Chris to go to the back, as Dawg was almost backstage Chris berly made his way, and Dawg came back and started beating up Chris not long after security took him to backstage.

At this time it was Intermission time, WWE Diva Maria came to do a prize drawing.

5th Match) Steve DeMarco & Franco Valentino def. Kryll (Adrian Star & Creet) w/ Lady Poison at 11:34 in a tag team match.
Steve & Franco are the "heart throbs" of PWA, Kryll is a gothic tag team. Kryll dominated the match as Lady Poison kept on distracting the referee. Steve DeMarco was the first one to start the match and Kryll dominated him, Franco was tired of this and tried to help out his partner which only cause for him to get in a arguement with the referee while Kryll double teamed Steve. At one point Lady Poison came to the ring and all 3 member were about to do their finishing move, but the referee messed it up because he caught Lady Poison. This cause for Kryll to be confused, Franco came and threw Adrian to the outside, while Creet stayed in the ring. Steve & Franco doubled team Creet as payback and got the victory.

Aftermath: Lady Poison was furious and ordered their men to go to the back, Booker T started saying "Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah Nah, Nah, Nah, Hey,hey, Goodbye" which gave the whole audience to start the chant.

6th Match) 2 Cold Scorpio def. Jared Steele at 16:31.
This was a solid match, 2 Cold came down to the ring "Dancing". Both men dominated each other during the match, 2 Cold started doing martial arts style kicks and the fans started chanting "You still got it" & "ECW". 2 Cold threw to the outside Jared and both men started hitting fists to each other and kicks, until they both came back to the ring. Back to back action which got the crowd to be in to into the match, alot of submission moves by Jared, 2 Cold made the match a "Cruiserweight" style. Finish came when 2 Cold perfectly did a 450 Splash to Jared which the crowd loved.

Main Event) CM Punk def. Richy Richy w/ "Lovely" Little Dollar at 14:37
CM Punk was way over the crowd, Little Dollar is actually a female dog with little ribbons in her ears and the "most expensive" dog in the world who is very delicate. Richy Rich was billed from "Trump Towers". During the match Richy tried to injured CM Punk's neck. Crowd is really hot in this match, great wrestling by both men alot of back to back action. Richy tried to cheat his way. At one point CM Punk told him "Look is your lovely dog", Richy turned and CM Punk came with a roll-up but kicked out. Richy came back saying "Look over there" Punk laughed and slapped him. Punk of course got the win. The crowd was popping alot after his win. While Richy made his way backstage the audience started booing him.

Overall this has to be one of the best shows yet, the crowd never got bored. Nonstop action wrestling took place, everybody left applauding. I met Maria backstage she was really nice, and other PWA wrestlers. PWA returns on June 29, 2007 to The Pasadena Convention Center. Presale tickets for the June show will go on sale Saturday June 2 at 10:00am central time. if you haven't come to the events then your missing out alot of stuff, the ticket prices are worth it. And all proceeds go directly to the "Booker T Fight For Kids Foundation".

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BREAKTHROUGH DVD, GUEST BOOKER WITH KEVIN SULLIVAN, RELEASED AT KAYFABECOMMENTARIES.COM

Kevin Sullivan, the legendary booker/wrestler, is the first booker to showcase his talent on Guest Booker, an innovative DVD series pioneered by KayfabeCommentaries. The 105 minute DVD is currently available at www.kayfabecommentaries.com.

The series features former pro wrestling bookers being given actual real world scenarios from wrestling’s past, and being challenged to book an entire year in that particular federation to generate an different outcome. In this inaugural edition, Kevin Sullivan re-books the WWE in 1984 if Hulk Hogan were to call and cancel his arrival. Sullivan proceeds to book the entire year of 1984 without Hogan, and culminates the year with a Christmas Day Supercard.

KayfabeCommentaries co-owner Sean Oliver says to his knowledge, this DVD is a first of its kind. “Similar to our audio DVD commentaries, the Guest Booker DVD concept is completely innovative. The shoot interview opened an interesting door when it hit the market, but ten years later it has not grown very much. This series is the answer to ‘how can we take this concept to the next generation?’ This is the shoot-style DVD, all grown up."

The DVD features on-screen graphics to guide the viewer through the process, an element Oliver said was a must. “I absolutely wanted this to be as much of an interactive experience as possible. So that’s partially why all the graphics are there.

“But from a more practical standpoint, we want the viewer to easily follow the booking lineage. As Kevin might jump from December back to June for an angle, I want that calendar to appear at the bottom of the screen. The booker’s mind may not always function chronologically. But the calendar will keep order of all that."

Guest Booker is now on sale at www.kayfabecommentaries.com.

Cleveland All Pro Wrestling News: May 31, 2007

FINAL CARD FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 3!

Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling returns to the famed Turner’s Hall, located at 7325 Guthrie Ave. in Cleveland, on Sunday afternoon June 3 with “A Hot Summer Night“. Doors open at 2 p.m. for our belltime of 3 p.m. This WILL be a taping for CAPW TV on Sports Time Ohio, so bring your signs, banners, and enthusiasm, and be prepared to have your image available in nearly 3 million homes in the state of Ohio, and nationwide on select systems. Tickets are available in advance at any of our ticket outlets, and also at the door the afternoon of the event. Get ready for three solid hours of the best professional wrestling in the area: Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling.

Just added to the card this week:

CAPW Tag Titles: Faith in Nothing vs. Robbie Starr (w/ Lexi Lane) & Christian Vaughn
Tag team champions Christian Faith & Vincent Nothing attempt to continue to build their legacy and reputation fresh off of an impressive victory against The Michigan Invasion last month. Their opponents this month don’t have the most experience as a tag team together, but have proven themselves worthy competition: Christian Vaughn along with his partner Robbie Starr, accompanied as always by the lovely Lexi Lane. While Starr & Lane have become quite the prolific couple in CAPW in recent months, it will take more than that to save Starr & Vaughn from the smash-mouth aggressive style that has catapulted Faith In Nothing to the top of the tag ranks for so long. With CAPW’s biggest show ever just weeks away, all four will be looking for major momentum.

Grudge Match: Da Munchies & JT Lightning vs. Mega Sexy
Last month, everyone in attendance at Turner’s Hall witnessed one of the most physical showings of brutality in recent memory, as JT Lightning, Too Cool Abdul, and Dick Trimmins, the mythical World Six-Man Tag Champions, delivered a brutal assault on “Megastar" Marion Fontaine both during and after the match, leaving Fontaine’s chest a sickening combination of red and purple. This Sunday, Fontaine rejoins his “Mega Sexy" tag partners “Simply Sexy" Shawn Blaze and “Pony Boy" TJ Dynamite to battle the enraged veterans one more time. Will the alleged six-man champions beat some more respect into Mega Sexy or will the upstarts pull off a surprise upset over the “champs"?

CAPW Television Title: CK3 vs. Jake Crist
Conrad Kennedy III pulled off the ultimate con last month when he screwed Jason Bane out of the Television Title, thanks in large part to Heavyweight Champion Tracy Smothers. With Bane making his intentions very well known of seeking vengeance on Smothers in the very near future, it leaves CK3 seemingly off the hook for the time being as he begins his Television Title reign. His opposition for his first title defense is one-half of the wildly successful Irish Airborne tag team, Jake Crist. Jake has proven himself as part of one of the pre-eminent tag teams in wrestling today, but will he be as strong of a Television Title contender as he was for tag team gold? And how successful with CK3’s first title defense be?

“M-Dogg 20" Matt Cross vs. The Aftermath vs. Jason Gory
Fresh off of a huge victory in a six-way match that qualified him for Florida’s Jeff Peterson Cup, M-Dogg 20 is back and once again faced with the challenge of multiple high-flying death-defying athletes in the same match. One opposition, The Aftermath, who had the biggest match of his career in that six-way encounter, and is looking to have even greater success this Sunday. The other opposition, Jason Gory, a Hells Canyon, Idaho native who’s been making major strides throughout Pennsylvania, quickly earning a reputation as one of the most talented Jr. Heavyweights in the area today. All three men collide in what is sure to be the most energetic fast-paced encounters of the evening.

Plus: The Bouncer goes one-on-one with Luis Diamante in a special bonus match!

In addition to the following matches already publicly announced:

CAPW Heavyweight Title: Tracy Smothers vs. The Blue Meanie
It’s a feud that has been ongoing for ten years and counting, and shows no signs of letting up. The Smothers/Meanie bad blood began back in the original ECW, with Smothers representing the Full Blooded Italians (FBI) and Meanie representing the Blue World Order (bWo). After a series of unforgettable wrestling contests, as well as dance-offs, nothing was settled. The rivalry was re-ignited two years ago after a falling out between the two stemming from the aftermath of the controversial first WWE ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view. They’ve battled each other all over the US and into Europe, but never have they met for a major singles title, but June 3 in Cleveland the stakes are raised as Meanie attempts to dance his way to CAPW gold, and Smothers attempts to capture any momentum he can leading into a potential ominous encounter with Bane.

CAPW Jr. Heavyweight Title Match: Super Hentai vs. Shiima Xion
Super Hentai solidified his CAPW singles career at our last live event when he defeated Zach Gowen to capture his first singles gold in Cleveland, adding this accomplishment to an extensive list of other titles he’s captured around the world. However, Hentai finds himself the central focus of an extremely competitive division. The first of many deserving challengers is “The Future of Fashion" Shiima Xion, who certainly goes back a long way with Hentai. Not only were Hentai & Shiima a short-lived tag team combination here in CAPW before choosing to pursue careers in the singles ranks, but Hentai also was instrumental in Shiima Xion’s training to become a professional wrestler some years back. It’s a case of teacher vs. student on June 3 as Xion attempts to surpass his former mentor and become Jr. Heavyweight champion.

Jason Bane vs. CJ O’Doyle
The 6’8 300+ pound former Television Champion Bane knows he may be a mere 2 months away from the most important match of his career. On August 5, Bane will step foot inside a career-shortening 15-foot-high steel cage and challenge Tracy Smothers for the CAPW Heavyweight Title should Smothers escape June 3 with title in tact. June 3 will be CAPW’s and Bane’s final stop on the road to August 5’s “Night of Legends" extravaganza and Bane is looking for every bit of momentum attainable, as is Smothers. Bane has plenty of motivation, having been screwed out of the Heavyweight Title countless times, and also losing his Television Title to Conrad Kennedy III thanks in large part to Smothers. CJ O’Doyle is a major player in the eastern Pennsylvania wrestling scene, but with the focus and rage building inside Bane, he’ll have his work cut out for him. Will Smothers and Bane be able to stay out of the other’s way or will tempers explode again just as they did last time they were in the same building one month ago?

Johnny Gargano vs. Metal Master
The 19-year-old prodigy Gargano is coming off a career-high win against TNA Star Alex Shelley a few weeks ago. While Shelley has been overheard requesting a rematch, rumor has it Gargano has vehemently denied the request, claiming he’s already proven he’s “better than Shelley". Gargano, however, has signed on to meet The Metal Master, a mysterious enigma that has reportedly been surfacing in numerous locations throughout North American and Japan. While we can’t decipher much of the Master’s past, based on reports, it seems he is also a master on the mat and will prove to be more than enough competition for the upstart Gargano. Can Gargano continue his streak of success?

Jessica Havok vs. Neveah
We recently told you of the open challenge set forth by Jessica Havok, the newfound personal bodyguard of one JT Lightning, among JT’s other frequest associates. Havok has without a doubt proven herself in just a short span of time to be the most dominant female athlete to ever step into a CAPW ring, competing against multiple opponents in one night, regardless of the size, experience level, or even gender. Havok’s open challenge has been answered by a woman known as Neveah, a tough individual who has made her name throughout the Ohio area in recent times. She could score the win of her career on June 3rd or she may become the latest in a growing list of Jessica Havok’s victims.

B.E.T. vs. The Clash
Tyrone Evans and Josh Emanuel have formed a very formidable and intimidating duo to add to the already stacked CAPW Tag Team Division, calling themselves B.E.T. While we’re still unsure what exactly that stands for, their track record in the ring is something that cannot be mistaken. However, B.E.T. did not count on seeing a couple of old rivals come onto the CAPW scene shortly afterward: The team of Brian Bender & Ernie Ballz, collectively known as The Clash, followed B.E.T. into CAPW and were quick to make a challenge. These teams have met several times throughout Ohio in the past, but on June 3 their feud gets taken to the next level as it will be on display in CAPW for the very first time.

CAPW BIGGEST SHOW EVER COMING AUGUST 5!

Traditionally, CAPW provides its biggest and best live event of the calendar year during the summer as Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling celebrates its anniversary in style. This year, however, CAPW takes it one step farther. The announcement was made official this past Sunday that on Sunday, August 5, Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling makes its debut in the Plain Dealer Pavilion, located on 2014 Sycamore Street to celebrate our anniversary with “A Night of Legends". It’ll be the largest, most star-studded happening in Cleveland All-Pro history! Come join the record-breaking crowd that will be on hand to witness all the biggest, best, and brightest stars from wrestling’s past, present, and future.

Following a wild altercation at our last live event, the evening’s main event has already been penciled in. Should Tracy Smothers escape our June 3rd live event still CAPW Heavyweight Champion, he will finally step into the ring one-on-one against the 6’8 300+ pound unstoppable Jason Bane. Smothers has been ducking Bane’s challenge and screwing him at every opportunity, culminating at our last event when Smothers was directly responsible for Bane losing his Television Title to Conrad Kennedy III, shattering Bane’s hopes of unifying CAPW’s two top singles titles for the second time. Now, Bane will face Smothers one-on-one, and there will be nowhere for Tracy to hide, no shortcut for him to take… because the match takes place inside a 15 foot high STEEL CAGE!

Much much more will be revealed about CAPW’s Plain Dealer Pavilion debut set for August 5th. Check back right here NEXT WEEK as we reveal the first of MANY hot news updates and details regarding this extravaganza!
