LLWA: Rewind
Date: Saturday, March 22nd @ 2:15 pm
Referees: Jon Turnip, Jimmi Hellbent and Pistol Pete
Attendance: 40+

As the first wrestling show to kick off at the new LLW/A venue, fans seemed to delighted to come out on the Holiday weekend to see what LLWA had up its sleeve. Several familiar faces were in the crowd, past and present, from the usual ensemble of fans, to former Whoresmen member 'The Prodigy' Rees Reynolds, former valet Pandora Cain, Josh Alexander,Mike Alias, Frank Greco,Dancing Matt Cannon, and even Kex, the fairy-tale princess himself thought never to reappear around the wrestling world again.

The show kicked off with special guest ring announcer Kris Law reminding fans to not try any of the moves they see at home as they are professionally trained individuals. He introduced the new LLWA CEO J. Tyler-Smith. Smith said that his days as Kyle Davenport were over and that he was looking forward to helping LLWA on a management and creative level. Seconds before he was about to leave, The Whoresmen (Alex York, Scotty O'Shea, Steve Brown and Jody D'Milo) made their first appearance. York took the mic and told Smith that he would like to him to override Commissioner Cassidy's decision to bar the Whoresmen from ringside during the main event match. Smith said that maybe before he would've, but now York will have to go it alone and the stipulation stands. Smith however ended the segment by telling the Whoresmen that they will have to trust him and his decisions. Hesitantly, York and Smith shook hands.

Match 1 - Cruiserweights Collide!
Black Serpant def. Timothy Dalton
Afterwards, Dalton attacked Serpant making sure it was he who had the last laugh

Match 2 - Women's Grudge Match
Jody D'Milo w/Steve Brown def. Sabrina Kyle w/Ethan Page

Match 3 - The Little Dude Open Challenge
Wraith def. The Little Dude w/Allison Valentine
Undefeated LLWA student The Little Dude, along with Allison Valentine, made their way to the ring. Jules came out and said that she was asked by Mercy to represent Wraith for the evening and that he would be Little Dude's opponent. Wraith made short work of The Little Dude and Allison Valentine but was then attacked by rival and fan favorite Homeless Bob. Jules said that if Bob wanted to fight so much, she had just the right opponent.

Match 4
Sebastian Suave w/Jules def. Homeless Bob
Wraith distracted Bob in the closing moments along with Jules help Suave get the win. Wraith then took Bob's plank weapon and began viciously choking him. Smith came out and said he was tired of this and that next month, the long awaited match between Wraith and Homeless Bob will happen, Commissioner Cassidy will be the special guest referee, and appealing to Bob's lifestyle, the match will be a "Suicide Slums Match" where the fans will bring the weapons!!!

Match 5: Battle of Respect Match
Adam Cage & Adam Armour def. Zakk Atticus & Brett Scholl
Not seen in LLWA for almost two years, Atticus brought Scholl as his partner to take on the strong student team of Cage and Armour. Eventually the pair of Cage and Armour won with a hard fought victory. Scholl, in his usual ways, was upset and beat down Atticus in anger.

Match 6: 2/3 Falls Match for the LLWA Tag Team Championships
Scotty O'Shea & Steve Brown w/Alex York & Jody D'Milo def. Samoa Moe & Ethan Page w/Sabrina Kyle & Bradie Bling
Samoa Moe took the first pinfall courtesy of the Whoresmen but it was Page who fought valiantly to keep the titles on him and his partner, obtaining the second pinfall. Tied one all, all kinds of wrestling tactics from ground to aerial were used which lead to Page being defeated for the three count. The Whoresmen then celebrated bringing the tag gold back to their faction.

Match 7:
Moondog Buddy vs. Logan Savage - No Contest
As the match was nearing its close, Dan Magnum along with manager Gordon Gustav ran in beating down Buddy and seeming making an alliance with Logan Savage. They continued to pumble student Moondog Buddy. Gustav got on the mic and proclaimed that he was tired of the way things were run in LLWA and that he had part management until he was unfairly dismissed by CEO Smith and Commissioner Cassidy. He said that Magnum and Savage were two of the most underlooked men around and now it was their turn to fight back and make a statement. Smith told the referees to get the threesome out of the ring area, avoiding an attack by Gustav.

Match 8: Special Attaction Match
El Sombra def. 'Impact' Eddie Osbourne

MAIN EVENT: THREE WAY DANCE for the LLWA Championship
EZE vs. Alex York vs. Jesse Jones w/Gordon Gustav
EZE def. Jesse jones via pinfall
EZE def. Alex York via DQ
York attempted to bring the Whoresmen to ringside but Smith was waiting with a barricade of Jimmi Hellbent, Homeless Bob, Bradie Bling and Allison Valentine. The match started off hot and heavy, with Jones utilizing many cheating tactics with the help his rebel manager Gustav. York and EZE overcame the challenge and EZE successfully pinned Jones eliminating them from the mix. Now it was time for EZE and York to square off in a hard fought battle. The barricade worked hard to keep The Whoresmen from interfering but seconds before York was about to tap, they broke through the barricade and attacked EZE, with Jody D'Milo taking out particular punishment on ref Jon Turnip - going so far as to slam the referee through an assortment of steel chairs. Page and Sombra ran out to help EZE. Smith called the match and got on the mic, furious that The Whoresmen broke his trust and his ruling. He said that EZE would get another chance to beat the hell out of York next month, in a singles match, and told The Whoresmen that they are still barred from ringside but if they decide to break that ruling again, they will be immediately fired, on the spot with no chance of re-instatement. He then ordered O'Shea that he will face El Sombra in a singles. Rounding out, he gave Page the chance to finally get his hands on Steve Brown.

So two hours of wrestling action, LLWA fans were treated to tremendous in-ring displays, brutal beatdowns, double-crosses, a title change and as one fan put it after the show, "someone finally putting The Whoresmen in their place."

With a strong start, the card for April's show can only promise to be bigger and better and more details will come soon. Thanks to all those fans who came out yesterday and hope you are having a HAPPY EASTER.
