So after almost missing my flight (I woke up late), I flew from Portland and returned back to the Oakland airport, then I drove home to wash my Ref gear and try to get the blood out of my Ref shirt. On the way home, I stopped at a big 5 and bought a brand new Ref shirt just in case I didn't get the blood stains out when I got home. I already had 2 ref's shirt as it was, but one is a normal ref shirt while the other has a long zipper on it....and guess which one I prefer wearing, the one that doesn't have a long zipper on it, and that one had the blood stains on it so I bought another one that is the same excat one I perfer to wear. Anyways, around 3, I started making my way to CCW in Newman.

Now Newman is quite a way aways from where I live now. So its a nice long drive down a few freeways/highways...but I have having an issue on the entire trip down there. At the end of year 2005, I got in a car accident that broke the piece of my car that holds my blinkers and my headlights. The piece broke on the passenger side of my car...and I haven't been able to get it repaired yet. I have the parts but its either expensive or I've just been to lazy to try and put the pieces on....and I'm also not to good with cars either, so my answer to my broken headlight and blinker? Duct tape the blinker into my car and since the headlight still works, just the casing is broken, put serriane wrap over the broken casing, so no water gets to the blub and breaks it when its on.

Now the duct tape over the blinker was kinda wearing out a bit due to the odd cold and hot weather we've been having lately, and all the way down there, about ever 15 to 20 minutes my blinker would play peek-a-boo with me by popping up over the hood waving hi to me. So I would have to stop and put somew new duct tape on the blinker and car to hold the blinker in...but the roll of duct tape that I had in the trunk was old as well so the damn thing would keep popping up every 15 to 20 minutes. After about the 3rd time of playing peek-a-boo with my fucking blinker, I stopped at a Shell gas station that sold the small rolls of duct tapes for cars, so I bought the last 3 rolls of duct tape and then preceeded to duct tape the hell of my blinker and car....save to say, it stayed in the rest of the trip there and then the trip to Rocky afterwards.

I got the arena just before 6, I said my hellos and then went back to the locker room to get changed again. The Ref's for the show was me and Guido and a new guy whose name escapes me at the moment...I think it was Casey, though I'm not sure. It was good to work with Guido again, I didn't really like working with the last Ref CCW used at last months show. Something just didn't sit well with him, so yeah working with Guido again was a breathe of freash air. The other Ref, Casey, was really new to the scene, so new infact this was going to be his first time Ref'ing! So before the show started me and Guido went over differant things with Casey to make sure he had an idea on what he would be doing. Then the show started at 7 and on we went.

I had the opening match of the night which was a triple threat. It was Ryan Drago vs El Chupacbabra vs Kenny K with his manager Shawn Stevens. This was also my first time doing a triple threat. Everything went really well as I just stayed out of there way and let them do their thing. Ryan Dragon won the match after Chupi submitted to a figure four leglock. After the match Drago kept attacking Chupiacabra's knee until I backed Drago off Chupi. Afterwards I helped Chuupacabra back to the locker room.

The next match I did was a tag team match. It was The Reno Boys (Luster the Legend and Malachi) w/ Buddy Sotello Esquire vs The Rock Legend Scum Adam Thornstowe and "Showtime" Shane Dynasty who holds the Dead Fed title (Formerly the GZW title....that promotion just died after having..umm issues, yeah I'll just use that word.) The backstory of this match was that Buddy Sotello managed both Adam Thornstowe and Shane Dynasty but couldn't produce what he promised both guys and that would be the CCW Heavyweight title that Vinnie Massaro holds, so both Adam and Shane fired Buddy and now we have this match.

This match was crazy and I had already knew it would have been, when you have bad blood between so many people, its going to be a crazy match....and I was right. The match was your pretty standard tag match as both Malachi and Luster kept Shane Dynasty away from his partner and kept working him over. Adam kept trying to get into the ring to make the save but I had to keep cutting him off as he never made the tag. After a little while, Shane made a clean clear tag to Adam then everything went crazier, as all 4 men had gone to the outside. So now I have to deal with Luster the Legend, Buddy Sotello, Malachi, Adam Thornstowe and Shane Dynasty all fighting outside while I have to keep an eye on Buddy Sotello who just happen to be right next to all 4 men fighting. Then all of a sudden when I thought I was getting all 4 guys back in the ring, Shane and Adam threw Malachi in a bunch of chairs, as I was tending to Malachi I looked up into the ring and Adam was pinning Luster so I slid back in and made the 1...2...3. Annoucing that both Shane Dynasty and Adam Thronstowe as the winners of the tag match. After that took place, for some reason The Reno Boys were about to kick Buddy Sotello's ass and after a few minutes...and Buddy's crying and begging, The Reno Boys let Buddy go and we went back to the locker room. That was my final match for the night so afterwards I went and put my street clothes back on.

It was diffently a fun show and I had fun doing both matches. After the show was over, I said my good byes and started making my way to Oakland so I could do the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and that was my wrestling show weekend. I have so much fun working for BAW and CCW but unfortuanily I won't be doing BAW in OR in April as it's getting a bit pricey for me, so I'm going to skip this month's show to save money for the show in May, but of course I'll post a pre-view when BAW puts one out.

I really hope you guys are enjoying my stories about being on the road and working the indy scene....and if your not....to bad. :0)
