AWA NWX Re-X-Perienced
Sept 22nd. 2007
Simcoe Ont.
Swanzey's Auto Shop
2:00pm Bell Time
Attendance Approx. 70 steady, with a max of 90
Ok me and the Eggman arrived at this show a little early. It was on Peel St. in Simcoe which is a little side street in the downtown core. They used the reminence of the old HVW rings, like ropes, turnbuckles, and canvas flipped upside down (without the logo).
The venue was a small one car garage with a guitar shop built in the front, which of course made for an interesting place to hold a show. The show was free, and only a few matches were announced so who knew what to really expect.
The show opened off with Dragon X making his way to ringside. This was supposed to be Dragon X challenging for the AWA NWX Television title. They cued music for James Masterson, who is a Simcoe hometown fav. He didn't come out at first, prompting Dragon X to call him a coward.
Music troubles at first continued til Masterson came out slapping hands with the fans in this parking lot.
AWA NWX Television Title Match
James Masterson (c) vs. Dragon X
Alot of mat work here, starting off with the usual side headlock business, and working the arm with arm ringers and arm bars. Dragon X mocked the fans of Simcoe everytime Masterson started to gain momentum and rally the fans behind him. Dragon X went up top for a legdrop...nobody home. Masterson proped him back on the top rope and delivered a SUPER RKO. Dragon X was close to the ropes but couldn't muster up enough gas to break the pin. Masterson retains...
Next was a segment where they announced that the Vice President of AWA Canada was in attendance. Steve Anderson, came out wearing sunglasses and stated that current AWA NWX North American Champion KC Tanks was not in attendance, failing to defend his title which means that he will be stripped of the gold. Anderson then went on to announce that he will be awarding the title to Jeremy Prophet who is the number one contender. Prophet made his way to ringside with his disciple, which was not announced.
He paraded around the ring, belittling the fans of Simcoe. He grabbed one fan who was wearing a Rey Mysterio shirt, and had big wild hair, and held him by the throat, and breaking his patio chair. The fan was irrate.
Prophet entered the ring and cut a promo about how finally the AWA has recognized greatness, the fastest rising star in this miserable wrestling scene in Ontario and that he is what a real champion stands for. Beautiful women, lots of money and great looks something that town of Simcoe doesn't have.
"WWE Prospect" Kryss Thorn came down to a pretty good reception. He came out tooting his own horn about how he's appeared 4 times for the WWE, and will be on No Mercy, RAW, and SMACKDOWN! again. He said the fans of Simcoe didn't come here to see Prophet smack his gums around, and that it's time to wrestle for that new title Prophet has.
Prophet said he doesn't do what the fans want, or what Thorn wants, and that he was looking to make a name for himself at Thorn's expense. He said he wants a handicap match between Prophet and The Disciple (Patient 13 without a mask) against Thorn. Thorn said he didn't accept the terms, Prophet then offered him a tag team match but knew that Thorn had no friends. Kryss Thorn said he would pick one of the great fans of Simcoe, and selected the fan with wild hair who was assaulted earlier by Prophet. He asked the fans name to which he replied Randy Blant. Blant the Plant, tried for some mic time, Thorn said because of his hair we'd call him Carlito.
Impromtu Tag Team Match
AWA NWX North American Champion Jeremy Prophet & The Disciple vs. Kryss Thorn and "Fan" Randy Carlito Blant
Fans rallied behind Blant who had something to prove. Prophet chopped the hell out of his back and chest. Delivered a double knee in the corner crushing the kid. Prophet and the Disciple had some good tag continuity to continue to dummy the rookie. Thorn made the hot tag, and delivered a series of suplexes and chops of his own to turn the tide. Thorn worked over the Disciple, as Prophet grabbed the ring bell. Blant didn't like the double teaming, argued with the ref and was forced back to the apron. Thorn tagged in the anxious rookie, until he got double teamed again, and smashed with the ring bell at the hands of the Prophet. Then covered Randy Blant for the three count.
VP Steve Anderson said with all that being said that's not how we want our championships to be represented, and basically said that Prophet was stripped of the title. He then immediately made a match for the title between Kryss Thorn vs. Jeremy Prophet, apparently giving Prophet a chance to defend the strap. Prophet said he didn't have to do anything that they told him to do, VP Anderson he made the match and Prophet will have to live with it.
Thorn insulted him calling him Stevie Wonder, and said the the auditions of Star Trek were over and the role for Warf had already been selected. Prophet said those comments were not funny. Prophet bad mouthed Simcoe again, and even a O.P.P. car driving by with female officer who just laughed. Thorn said he knew Simcoe was great at geography and asked if Prophet knew the capital of Thailand. Jeremy said it was TaiPei the fans insulted his intelligence, Thorn said it was Bangkok and sacked Prophet, the bell was then sounded.
AWA NWX North American Title Match
Jeremy Prophet (c) w/ Disciple vs. 1/2 of Canadian Extreme Kryss Thorn w/ Carlito Blant
Lots of stalling on the part of Prophet, who continiously worked crowd and the 10 count to his advantage. Finally the two locked up after the crowd which was packed at this point. Lots of solid back and forth action. Thorn clotheslined Jeremy over the top to the cement. Finally the Prophet fed up that Thorn was getting the upperhand, kicked the Disciple, spit at him and said that he was good for nothing. Disciple left, as Carlito Blant rallied the fans behind Thorn.
Suddenly the broken patio chair came into play, and which was cracked earlier, after a series of reversals Prophet came smashing down of the plastic chair onto the pavement cracking it even more. Thorn took the action back into the ring giving him a running suplex, and then a huge german that flipped Prophet inside out.
Cheap tactics turned the tide for Prophet, he went for a moonsault, Thorn rolled out of the way. Thorn went up top delivered a swanton bomb, and still only 2. Prophet gave him an swinging inverted DDT, after giving him a slingshot into the 2nd rope which stunned Thorn. Thorn went for a sunset flip, Prophet reversed it into a YOSHI-TONIC. Still a 2 Count! Thorn finally again nailed the swanton bomb, and scored the win.
Winner and new AWA NWX North American Champ Kryss Thorn.
Jeremy Prophet left pissed off into the guitar store.

Larry Goodman sent this report in:
Great Championship Wrestling ran their final build up to the Fred Ward Memorial, GCW???s annual tribute to the man that promoted wrestling in Columbus for over 30 years.
It wouldn???t be GCW without some form of controversy, the latest being whether or not GCW had obtained permission to use Ward???s name. According to head honcho Diane Hewes, the Ward family has no problem with GCW honoring Ward. A company official contacted the family, and they have been invited to attend the show.
Saturday night???s show drew 115 to the Gr8 Sk8 Plex in Phenix City, Alabama, which is just across the river from Columbus. It was a solid show. They announced most all of the matches for the big show at the beginning of the month, and spent the last few shows heating up the issues. The crowd was cooking more than two weeks ago, but that still isn???t saying much.
(1) Vordell Walker & Randall Johnson beat Frankie Valentine & Tex Monroe in 9:20. What has gotten into Vordell? He???s doing this thingyy heel bit weird gay overtones. Whatever is up with Walker, his presence was the singular most interesting thing about the match. Probably not the intended effect, but compared to the other guys, Walker was on an entirely different level as worker. Walker said Monroe was FIPing it up against Johnson. Walker tagged in like he was God???s gift to Phenix City. Walker gave Monroe a wrestling lesson. Walker used a chokebreaker ala Tank from NWA Anarchy. Monroe did a springboard moonsault legdrop that sounds way better than it looked. Valentine went to town with the hot tag. Valentine pulled the ropes down to dump Walker. But Johnson seized on the opening to pin Valentine with a first-rate version of the Celtic Cross.
Commissioner Bo Oates addressed his problems with Scrappy McGowan. Oates said they were the only two that had direct links to Ward. Oates said McGowan was disrespecting his father, his son (referee Jeff), and the Ward legacy. ???You sold out to a guy in a skirt.??? Oates proposed a tag match for the Ward Memorial with the commissionership of GCW on the line: McGowan & Cru Jones vs. Oates & John Bogie.
The new GCW Heavyweight Champion, Johnny Swinger came out to badger Oates into revealing the identity of his mystery opponent. Funny stuff from Swinger here. Swinger whined about the unfairness of it all. Swinger wanted to know why some mystery guy was getting a shot after he had to beat 19 guys in a battle royal to earn his shot. Swinger said he wasn???t some semi-pro from Kentucky, he was a genuine superstar. Swinger said Oates gave Scotty Beach tons of time to prepare for a title defense. He accused Oates of having a vendetta against him. Swinger said his opponent better be some guy like Jonathan Davis or Amien Rios that he could beat in one minute. Swinger said the only way he was losing the belt was if O.J. stole it. Swinger was threatening to drop Oates with his finisher when the theme from Rocky played. Swinger said he wasn???t sweating Rocky Balboa. It was GCW owner Diane Hewes that appeared on the ramp. Hewes said she signed the match with the mystery opponent, and it was somebody the fans had been hot to see for a long time.
Out came Sonny Siaki. Hardly any pop at all. But that???s the norm here. I???m guessing a lot of folks weren???t familiar with him, since the last time he worked for GCW, they were still operating out of Columbus. Siaki has grown out his hair since Deep South as part of the shift to babyface. Siaki was born to play a cool heel. What GCW sorely lacks a bonafide, homegrown, white-meat babyface.
(2) John Bogie beat Orion Bishop (with Wicked Nemesis) in 8:23. Bogie goes over clean to avenge a painful DQ win last week. Not one of you better matches. Bogie busts his ass, but his offense just doesn???t cut it. Bishop doesn???t look like much, but he hit a couple of stunningly good moves. Nemesis is a harmless nincompoop pretending at being an evil heel. Bogie hit a push up dropkick to spark an opening flurry. Bishop chickened out. Bishop took over with a fallaway slam. Bishop hit a sweet pumphandle suplex for a near fall. Bishop got frustrated by Bogie???s intestinal fortitude. Bishop got too cocky for his own good. You haven???t lived until you???ve seen the Bogie hot comeback. Bogie won with the quebrada that he always manages to overshoot.
(3) Chris Stevens beat DeathRow after interference by A. J. Steele in 6:33. Death is billed from ???The Institute for the Criminally Insane.??? He???s got the look and size for the gimmick, and he???s been moving up in class. Stevens got a genuine babyface pop, and those are hard to come by in Phenix City. Death used headbutts to the trapezius muscles. That was different. Key spot was Stevens missing a dive off the middle rope. Death zeroed on the shoulder. A series of flying shoulder blocks by Stevens barely scored a two count. Death applied a sleeper. Steele came to ringside and told ref Randy Ray that Death was choking Stevens. Stevens refused to go to la la land. The finish saw Steele snap Death???s neck off the top rope to make him a sitting duck for Stevens??? neckbreaker. Good execution. Death and Steele screwed each other is similar fashion last week, so the finish made sense. I just wish the opponent had been someone other than Stevens. To me, Stevens is a top babyface who shouldn???t need outside interference to beat a midcard heel.
(4) A. J. Steele beat Thug Rowe in 6:30. Rowe looks like Michael Vick disguised as Mustafah Saed, New Jack???s partner back in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. A fan suggested Rowe could get away with doing a Chihuahua fight in a bathtub. These are two big guys. Back and forth match. Steele took the fight to Rowe. He tried to cut Steele off with an elbow drop, but Steele outsmarted him. GCW could use more smarts on the babyface side. Steele hit a swinging side slam for a near fall. Rowe responded with a DDT for a near fall. Midair collision of beefy bodyblocks here. Steele crashed an burned on a high crossbody. You think he would have learned. Rowe wisely choked off Steele???s air supply. Both down on a double flying lariat. Steele capped off his comeback with a fireman???s carry dropped into a uranage for the pin.
Ring announcer Billy Roper directed our attention to the big screen for a promo by the former GCW Heavyweight Champion, Scotty Beach. Would somebody please teach this guy how to cut a babyface promo? Beach said he would back on his way after winning the weasel suit match at the Ward Memorial.
Next, we saw a video footage of Bull Buchanan being interviewed by Roper. Buchanan said he was waiting out the 30 days (due to the restraining order) to get his hands on Swinger in the cage at the Ward Memorial. Buchanan said he never liked his former partner, and he was sure the feeling was mutual. Buchanan said he intended to win the GCW ???World Championship??? and defend it in Japan during his October tour with NOAH.
(5) Shaun Banks & Cru Jones (with Quentin Michaels) beat Bull Buchanan & Scotty Beach in 19:10. Best match of the show. It actually had heat. Presuming that Bad Company beats Naturals at Fred Ward, Banks and Jones are the natural top challengers. They make an awesome heel tag team. Beach definitely turned his intensity dial to the right after losing the heavyweight title. They told the story of that Buchanan and Beach weren???t necessarily on the same page. Banks and Jones brought a red dress to the ring. Beach and Banks wrestled. Good looking stuff. The heels tried to isolate Beach, but Buchanan tagged himself in. Beach wasn???t happy about it. Banks begged for his life. His facial expressions are tremendous, and he sold like he was going die. Just when it appeared Beach and Bull were going to work together, Jones chop blocked Buchanan???s knee to turn the tide. Banks and Jones went all out on Buchanan???s knee. Nice series of hope spots here. At one point, Jones pulled Beach off the apron so there was nobody for Buchanan to tag. Hot tag. Beach gave Jones the Beach Balls. It was time for the moment of truth. Banks escaped a double team. Buchanan pulled up to avoid kicking his partner. They double punched Banks, but Jones surprised Beach with a roll up.
Postmatch beatdown on Beach. Banks hit a Rude Awakening, and they started to put the dress on him. Buchanan came to the rescue. Beach wheeled around to face Michaels, and he got the hell out of there.
(6) Sonny Siaki beat Johnny Swinger (with Quentin Michaels) via countout. Swinger retained the GCW Heavyweight Title (16:56). Siaki got a stronger pop than the first time. It was if the people woke up to the fact that this guy has star presence. Unfortunately, the crowd was relatively dead once the bell rang. Nothing wrong with the work or psychology. Swinger did everything in his power to get Siaki over as a babyface. The early part of the match saw Siaki do the Samoan head-like-a-rock. Siaki worked on Swinger???s arm until it was hanging limp. Swinger???s desperation led to face biting and groin stomping. Brief ???Sonny??? chant here. Michaels got involved. Swinger hit a Russian legsweep, and Siaki rolled shoulder just before the three count. Swinger tried a headbutt. Not a good idea. Swinger was bouncing around like crazy for Siaki???s comeback. Siaki mounted the ropes and rained down the 10 punches. Swinger kicked out at two. Swinger ran away from Siaki???s finisher.
As Swinger finished taking the ten count, out came Buchanan to block his path. Swinger invited Buchanan to violate the restraining order. Buchanan restrained himself, but Siaki kicked Swinger???s ass. Swinger ended up running out the front door. Siaki said it felt good to be back in GCW. He said GCW was going back to being the #1 promotion in the South. Buchanan was gimpy from the pounding to his knee. He ordered the cameraman to get a close up of his ugly mug. ???Johnny Swinger, I???m not afraid to get a few scars. Can you say the same thing????
NOTES: The card for the Fred Ward Memorial on September 29 is as follows: Swinger (c) vs. Buchanan inside the six sides of steel for the GCW Title, Naturals (c) vs. Bad Company (Stevens & David Young) in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the GCW Tag Titles, Death Row vs. Steele in an Electric Chair match, Johnson vs. Valentine in a hair match, Banks vs. Beach in a Weasel Suit match, Scrappy McGowan & Jones vs. Oates & Bogie with the commissionership of GCW on the line, and Ring Inspector Chuck vs. Bogie in a Bouncing Boxer???s match???GCW???s television show starts on East Alabama cable channel 7 in an 11am Saturday time slot. It will be a 30 minute show hosted by Michaels & Roper???Diane Hewes said the company is actively planning to run shows in other venues. An announcement about their first show outside Phenix City should be coming shortly.
