Alrighty, here's the post about the CCW show I did the next day after the 1/26 BAW show. Its up late, I know, I know, I really know and I'm sure you guys are bored about hearing about it but I'm gonna post about it anyways. So to bad for you. Though I think I'm gonna try and keep it short.

(The events take place on 1/27.)

So I flew back from Portland to Sacramento Saturday morning, I drove home and of course the first thing I do when I come home..check the internet. I'm surfing my websites and one of the websites I visit on a regular basis is a message board on Nor-Cal indy wrestling and to be honest the posters on that board suck ass. A lot of ass. Not all of the posters on that board, but a good amount of them. The posters are normally fans who think they know all there is to know about wrestling and give everyone attitude about everything and they all seem to like talk a whole lot of shit as well. Espically those who just use a fake un-registered name, which is a good majority of them. Its also my understanding that lackeys from APW post there as well and just talk shit about every other wrestling promotion around the Northern California area....well except APW of course and by APW lackeys, I mean guys who get on their knees and blow Roland Alexander for a living.

Anywho, so I check out this site for results on a GZW, a indy promotion here in CA, show that had a show the same day as the BAW show in Oregon and I was intrested in what happen. I was reading the results and it seemed like a big clusterfuck, then I read something intresting...really intresting. The Reno Boys had stole the GZW heavyweight title. I read it again to make sure I didn't read it wrong...and I didn't. According to the results posted by a guy who helps run GZW, The Reno Boys had taken the Heavyweight title after apprently jumping El Chupacabra (who is GZW champion) and then leaving with the title. Now after reading it, I wasn't sure if it was an angle or if the Reno boys had actually taken the GZW title. Anyways, I really didn't think about it to much because I don't like the sole owner of GZW, so I just put it past me. Anyways after relaxing for a bit, I left my place in Benicia and started making a drive to Newman and Goddamn Newman is a far drive!

For those who don't know, Newman California is off Highway 5 and Highway 5 is about an hour and 20 minutes away from where I live now, in Benicia. Then Newman, is about another half an hour after you get on Highway 5. So that drive was close to 2 hours so yes it was a long freaking drive and I was already tired from the Oregon trip. I made it down there and the first two guys I see were the Badapples, Dede and Adam Badapple. I said hello and the first thing they said to me was "What happen to your eye?". Yes my right eye was STILL pretty damn black. I told them I got kicked in the face at training and they understood. Surprisingly, they were the only ones who asked about it. After talking to them, I went inside and saw one of the owners of CCW and I ended up to him for a little bit.

He asked me about what I thought of the building and what I thought about Newman? I told him the building was good for a wrestling show, nice and big spacious room but Newman is pretty much in the middle of no where, and after I said that, he explained to me what thats pretty much a good thing, and I understood why later that night. When we opened the doors up, the place filled up quickly. We were suppose to start at 7:30 but because there was still people filing into the building, we started about 20 minutes later. Thats how packed this place was. I believe the total number of fans was just somewhere below 300.

Now before I get to the show, remember when I talked about how I read that the GZW title got stolen but I wans't sure if it was true or not. Well I found out, and it happen. Luster the Legend, whose apart of the group walked in wearing the thing. Which gave me a laugh. I'm not going to get into details about it because I don't know who might stumble apon this and would give me heat about it, so I'm going to leave it as the Reno Boys do have the title last time I checked, anyways on to the show.

Sometime before the show started, I found out the number of matches I was going to be Ref'ing for that night. I had two matches, Ryan Drago vs Old School Oliver John. I had met Drago for the first time that night, I heard his name a few times but I never met him or knew anything about it. Old School I had met once back before CCW was in pleasanton right before they move to Newman but that was months ago, so I didn't think he remembered me. Drago vs Old School was a fun match to Ref. Oliver was insanely over with the crowd, while the crowd boo'ed the hell out of Drago. The match went really well for the two, the only problem I saw was with the ropes. CCW uses actual rope for their ring ropes and when someone tries to do a springboard move by using the ropes, the ropes just sorta sink. I think Oldschool tried to do a springboard..I think twice and both times the ropes just sank but the match finished and I didn't screw up on anything, so it was all good.

The second match was El Chupacabra vs Virgil (aka A Pimp Named Virgil). I knew from the start this was going to be a fast paced, hard-hitting match and that both guys were going to run me around the ring to keep up with them and their moves, and I wasn't wrong. It was a face paced, hard-hitting, high flying match and the crowd ate it up. From my understanding it was being said that this match was a early candidate for Match of the year (Nor-cal wise). So I'm very proud I got to be apart of it and that I didn't screw up anything to make the match look bad or antyhing.

After that match, I asked the booker if I was needed anymore and he told me no, so I got changed back into street clothes and got ready to leave shortly. I had to drive from Newman straight to Oakland so I could work the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I had to try and get there by 11:40 so I could set up. Out of 4 lighting people including myself, 2 people couldn't make it to the show. Which ment there was only me and one other person to work the show, which ment I had to get my ass out of Newman and get my hot sexay ass to Oakland. Which unfortunaily had me miss the main event. The main event was Vinnie Massaro vs Rik Luxury for the CCW title and I really wanted to see it but I had to leave. It was 10:00 pm and it's an hour in a half drive from Newman to Oakland so I had to move. Before the match started, I let both Vinnie and Luxury know I had to leave and that I was sorry but I was going to miss their match, they understood so I think they were cool with it and during their match I made my rounds to each of the guys and said my goodbyes to them and left the areana in Newman and hauled ass to Oakland.

It was good to see CCW have a great draw and I really missed working with them. I was afraid to make the drive to Newman due to my car being a 1990 Mercury Topaz, meaning...well its a piece of crap car but its a piece of crap car that is built like a tank and is still realibe but I was paranoid to make that drive down to Newman, so I missed a few months of CCW shows, which I regret missing so it was diffently good to work with them again, good atmosphere and good people.

Anyways, so that's where I'll leave you for now. Next I'll update you guys on my training and let you know how its going. It might be a few days because at the moment i'm moving to another city in CA, but I'll post the training update soon. Thank you for being patiant and I hope you guys are enjoying my stories so far.
