Yup, I took my first chairshot on Saturday night at the CCW show, but before I get into CCW. I'm gonna take a quick second to talk about the BRAWL Show I did on Friday.

The BRAWL Show started really sucky for me. Way before the show even started. I was doing sound for the night and one of the first things I hear is that something is wrong with the sound equipment. So I go looking at the sound equipment and I'm brought this cord. Now the actual cd player and the play button are on two seperate boxes...why I have no idea. So this cord, brings power from the cd player to the power box that has the play button and whatever else on it, and there's something wrong with this cord. So I'm looking at it and I notice that on one end of the cord, a few prongs are bent and the metal circle that suppose to protect the metal prongs is a bit smashed as well. So we're pretty much fucked on sound for the night. I tried a few things to fix the cord and that didn't work. We sent out Robbie Gilmore to a Best Buy and a Raidoshack to see if they had a cord, and they didn't. So as a last minute thing, I came up with the idea of having me "fired" because the sound wasn't working correctly. Luckily we didn't have to do that (Even though I sorta wanted to do the angle), because a kid said he had a stereo system. So I took this kid back to his place to check out his stereo system and its little system with small speaker. We ended up grabbing it and I had to use it for the entire show...and the music was really low because of it. Other than that, BRAWL went really well for the rest of the night. Now onto CCW and me taking my first chair shot.

On Saturday, I got to Referee for CCW once again. They were holding a tournament for their newest singles title, the Westside Championship, and also having a Heavyweight title match and also just a regular match. It was me and this other Referee named Alan. There were two other shows going on in other cities, so Ref's were sorta limited for the night. There were 6 matches altogether, I took the odd number while Alan took the even number. It was sorta weird not working with Guido on the show as normally I ref along side of him in California, so I tried to work well with Alan. After talking about what matches we were going to do the show started shortly after and I had the first match of the night.

Match 1: Ryan Drago vs Virgil Flynn (A Pimp Named Virgil); The match went really well. The only mistake I made was not being out of Drago's way before the match started. Before Virgil came out for his enterance, me and Drago were looking at the curtain for Virgil and Drago started backing up towards me. I tried to get out of his way before he stepped on me but I didn't move in time and he ended up stepping on my left foot and sorta tripping up a little bit. He gave me a quick shove and told me in a heelish voice "Don't try to trip me!" I gave him a quick sorry and on we went. The match was quick and back and forth. The end result saw Virgil putting Ryan Drago's shoulders to the mat while Drago went for a armbar on Virgil. So Virgil advanced after I made the 3 count.

After the match was over, I shook both of their hands and said thank you and said sorry to Ryan again about the small trip and he said no problem.

Alan had match 2 which was Big Ugly vs Bonzai Bruce. It as good to see Bonzai as I hadn't seen him for a couple of months as he's been training with Harley Race. Ugly went over in the match and I had match 3.

Match 3: Super Otaku vs Ryan Cade; Super Otaku is this masked animae guy who sorta dresses up like Goku with the karate Gi and Ryan Cade is a wrestler who was wrestling with WCWA when I started training with them but for some reason in the beginning of 2006, Cade stopped wrestling. Saturday night was his actual return back to the ring in over a year.

This match was pretty fun for me. It was also filled with back and forth action and the crowd ate it up. Though the greatest part of the match for me happen in the beginning. I was checking Otaku and after I checked him, he grabbed me and switched spots with me, then he started checking me! After seeing that I was clean, Otaku went to the middle of the ring and told me and Ryan Cade to go at it. Me and Cade just looked at each, shrugged, then started circleing the ring. A few seconds later me and Ryan Cade locked up then he power shoved me out of the lock up. I compalined to Otaku that Cade pulled my hair, Otaku and Cade argued for a second then Otaku put Cade in a headlock and I returned to my Ref'ing duties.

Ryan Cade went over on Otaku using the Claw using a Nintendo Power Glove. Oh! Ryan Cade's gimmick is a gamer gimmick. Awesome gimmick if your a fan of old school games. He wears the old Nintendo Power Glove, his tights consits of Zelda, Nintendo, and Street figher referances. Its fucking awesome! After the match waw over, I shook both guys hands and said thank you in the back.

Match 4 went to Alan and then we had a intermission.

Match 5 was the 1st of two main events. It was Showtime Shane Dynasty vs CCW's Heavyweight Champion Vinnie Massaro and I got to Ref this match. This was my first title match, so I was a little nervous but I was really honored to be doing this match. I came out and got the annoucement of the "Your Referee for this match, Referee Toby!", which is always cool to hear. Shane Dynasty and Buddy Sotello Esquire came out first, then the champion Vinnie Massaro came out 2nd and before the match even started, things got crazy.

I had to keep the two seperated and I tried that but after I gave the title to the guys at the bell table, Shane attacked Vinnie and the match started. They fought all over the place. They went all over the buidling, Vinnie throwing Dynasty into walls and all around the buidling. Finally I was able to get it back into the ring...for a few minutes. After a few minutes, Shane mounted a comeback against the champion Vinnie Massaro and threw Vinnie outside, shane followed. As soon as Dynasty's feet hit the floor, he took a chair from a little kid who was sitting in the front row. He was about to hit Vinnie and being the 20/20 vision Ref that I am, I rolled under the rope and grabbed the chair before Dynasty hit Vinnie with the chair but I didn't take it from him. Dynasty turned around, yelled at me "What are you doing!?" then wallopped me in the head with the chair. I was out.

Ok time for the shoot part of the post: As I was laying there, the first thing that popped into my mind was "Fuck, did I just screw something up?" We hadn't gone over the chair spot and I never heard them speak of a chair shot but I could have missed it sometime before the match or during the match. As I laid there, "KO'ed" I was so pist at myself. I started to stir to make it look like I was waking up, and I as I was stirring, I heard the little kids in the front row talk about me getting hit with the chair. I heard "Thats a DQ!", "he's still breathing, so i think he's ok", "Is he hurt?" and I think one of the kids actually poked me. I started to stir after the poke. As I was stiring, Dynasty got the ring and picked me up and slapped me to "Wake me up". I put the thought that I might have fucked something up out of my mind and got back in the ring to count a near fall. After the near fall, I said to both of them under my breath, as we were all getting up, "Guys, I am soooooo sorry if I fucked something up." I heard them both tell me that it was ok and we moved on.

Back to Kay-fabe: After I got hit with the chair, sometime during the match, Vinnie gained control and went for a moonsault. When Vinnie got to the top rope, Dynasty's manager Buddy Sotello Esquire got on the ring and he wasn't suppose to do that, so with my headache, me and him started arguing, then all of a sudden a few seconds later, Shane Dynasty grabs me and pushes me aside and then I have to argue with both of them. Vinnie Massaro gets up and grabs Dynasty from behind, around the hips and pushes him against the ropes into Buddy. Buddy and Dynasty collide knocking Buddy off the ring and then Vinnie massaro wraps Shane Dynasty up and I made the 3 count. Vinnie had retained his title in a crazy match.

Shoot: I was so pist with myself after the match, I kept thinking I had really fucked something up and the first thing I did was go up to Vinnie, because he was the first one in the back, and said I'm sorry if I fucked that chair spot up. He told me it was alright because everything worked out fine and not to worry about it but next time I should find a way to get distracted, so I didn't have to do that. I was a bit realived but I still had to clear things up with Dynasty.

Dynasty came back into the back and I walked up to him and shook his hand, said thank you, and asked him if I fucked that up. He told me I didn't and pretty much told me the same thing Vinnie told me. I was so realived. I really enjoyed working the match and I was soooo fucking happy that I didn't fuck anything up and I did everything I was suppose to do. Though the chairshot wasn't very comfortable...those damn things hurt!

Back to Kay-fabe: The final match of the night was a triple threat for the Westside Championship. It was Big Ugly vs Ryan Cade vs Virgil Flynn with Alan Ref'ing. Virgil won the match and became the first CCW Westside Champion.

Overall: It was a fun night and I really enjoy working with everyone at CCW. Great atomospher, hot crowd, its just a overall great experinace.
