Spicolli and Hardy were the victims of a beatdown.

Bravo ran Powers headfirst into Hart's megaphone and hits the Side Suplex to score the pin. OR:60 MR:3/4* The Rockers vs Reno Riggens and Barry Horowitz Average match. The Rockers seemed to be phoning it in a bit tonight. The ending came with a Shawn Michaels splash off of the shoulders of Jannetty onto Riggens to score the pin.

He announces that he will not compete in the Royal Rumble but he is putting up a World Title Shot at Wrestlemania for whomever wins the Rumble Match.

OR:91 Mr. Perfect is happy about this announcement because he can finally achieve his perfection at the Royal Rumble and then end Hulkamania at Wrestlemania VI.

The Snake says that he has a DDT with Dibiase's name on it. 83 The Red Rooster vs Randy Savage(/Queen Sherri) Not a squash for the most part. Pretty even match. The Red Rooster hit the Five Arm but Savage rolled to the outside. Rooster attempted to pull Savage into the ring but Savage smashed the septor over the head of the Rooster. The referee was distracted by Sherri when this happened. Savage goes up top and hits the Savage Elbow to score the pin. The Macho King steals one. OR:73 MR:** Card Average:71 After this taping aired, Iron Mike Sharpe checked into rehab to deal with a Cocaine Addiction. We hope he beats this problem and comes back to work clean.

I'm too lazy too look it up but I think it was over Gang splashing Boss Man multiple times or something petty like that) Bob Backlund and Brutus Beefcake vs Rhythm and Blues.

Neither has managed to get an in-ring victory in this feud. Honky Tonk Man is the reigning PWH Interconinental champion, and has been since 03 January 2004. The Match: Throat chop by Valentine does nothing but remind me of the Samoan Wrestling Family Tree. Backlund counters a sleeper with a jaw breaker and is able to get free!

My Opinion: I'll give a 1\2* rating because they were actually able to hit a couple of spots. Overall:58 Crowd Reaction:56 Match Quality:60 (Honky gets pinned by Backlund once again. Nothing new. This is just to further the feuds between all four. Backlund will face Honky Tonk Man as a result of his win, maybe in a couple of weeks, maybe next week, I need to get some new napkins at the store this week) Jim Duggan vs Horshu.

One more performed that badly and this match will end on a bad note, if you get my drift. Side suplex from Henry. The referee watches as the two wrestlers go to the outside and start brawling around ringside. He completes a ten count, and they are still outside, having ignored the count. This match is over via double count out. My Opinion: A wise man once said 'Can I get a side of bland with that bland'. He's dead now, though. That's what this match was...bland. ** Overall:70 Crowd Reaction:64 Match Quality:77 (A double countout. A double countout. Mark Henry goes to the back to get some donuts after the match and Ron Simmons wishes he was with Bradshaw in the shower.

My Opinion: It was close to a ** match, but I just can't stand too many blown spots. *3/4 Overall:64 Crowd Reaction:53 Match Quality:75 (THE BUSHWHACKERS HAVE DONE IT. They are the new PWH Tag Team Champions. Luke and Butch. It looked a bit flukeish so this may be short lived title reign. The Bushwhackers deserve a taste at the tag team gold.

I refuse to say any more about it. Overall:48 Crowd Reaction:41 Match Quality:56 (Jimmy Snuka is back from the blindness. This will set up a tag team match down the road.)

Here it comes - Giant Splash, forget about it. 1....2...3!

In other news, just signed Kamala will face Nathan Jones on the next card for the PWH World Title. Hmmm, no I can't decide who will win this match. Kamala wins this match by pinning Gonzo at any rate. Gonzales will not be their tag lay down for Kamala to save him from OUR HERO~! next week) Overall:56

Jeremy Red will go to that asylum during the week in a sad attempt to try and get Mad Matt out and some exclusive footage will be shown of that. Will Red suceed? Will he fail. Or will he just be arrested for impersonating a wrestler? Only one way to find out. Tune into HeldDown. -
An update on the condition(both physical and mental) of Mad Matt and maybe a cameo from Mr. Excitement himself....Jeremy Red Edit:Red is already taken care of for HD.

First of all a little background: Back in January 2002 I started a circuit on TNM7 that used wrestlers not signed by the WWF. Two simple rules. 1) If any wrestler is signed by the WWF/E that competes in my fed, I have to take him off the roster(now however I have plenty of time to bury the wrestler like the I am Triple H and the wrestler is (insert wrestler buried by Triple H recently) since I am behind in November 2002. ) 2) At the same time, If WWE releases a wrestler I can pick him up. For example in July 2003, I can sign Crash Holly(I know, I didn't want to go for the most OBVIOUS examples of who I would sign when they get released when game time concides with real time) As I said I am in November 2002. I just finished my ninth PPV. It is called Last Chance at Redemption. A double main event involving....well you are going to have to read the card to find out. I kept with TNM7 despite EWR being out because my fed cannot be done in EWR, especially my PPVs which can get up to 14-15 matches at time. And to hold these three questions off right at the bat. 1) Harry Harris=Original creation of mine 2) Dark Warrior=Ultimate Warrior with less selling but a cooler finisher(which debuts on this card). 3)Flashfly and Sean Studd=Johnny Swinger and Simon Diamond This has some of the bad comedy elements that you know and love from PWH/DDW but it also has something the WWE would never DARE to try in most matches:Psycology in a lot of the matches. I am forgetting something....oh yeah the card. Silly me. http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/mcw4/n...mption2002.html and if you want to read some older cards you can visit: http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling3/mcw4/n...waarchives.html All links to future cards will also be posted here.

He must be watching the WWE. I have nothing to add except Gillberg is 0-9 now) Survivor Seri er Elimination Challenge Match: Team Beautiful vs Team Crush.

Hooks the leg, but the referee is still out! Crush slams Leif Cassidy down and motions to the crowd. Crush charges into the corner but EATS BOOT. Demolition Crush can barely stand. Here it comes - Leif Sault. 1....2...3, it's finished. My Opinion: 1/4*. Be happy it's not a DUD. Overall:60 Crowd Reaction:63 Match Quality:56 (Next Week Demolition II will face The New Rockers FINALLY For the PWH Tag Team Titles. The New Rockers cash in on that tag title shot that they earned about a hundred weeks ago. Pretty decent match by PWH Standards that is) This Match has no reason to be on the show match: Kendall Windham vs Chip Minton. Match Background: None. The Match: Chip Minton hits an ugly looking bulldog off the ropes. Chip Minton turns Windham inside-out with a clothesline. Reminds me of Willow's 'Bored Now' skin ripping finisher. Inside joke, don't worry about it. Sloppy discus punch from Chip Minton barely connects on Windham. Cover, ONE...TWO...NO! I honestly thought that match was going to end right then and there.

Overall:44 Crowd Reaction:30 Match Quality:59 (Chip Minton, evil bobsledder, scores the win. He is undefeated for all intents and purposes. The first victim was Kendall Windham. Not that means anything. I am attempting to build up some credible heels for when Nathan Jones inevitably wins his belt back. That could blow up in my face but their you go) These Two are feuding you know: Brutus Beefcake vs Greg Valentine. Match Background: Valentine and Beefcake have been feuding recently.

I honestly thought that match was going to end right then and there. Valentine counters a backdrop attempt with a kick to the face and hit a clothesline! Valentine uses a neckbreaker on Beefcake. Beefcake counters an arm wringer with an elbow to the side of the head. Running clothesline from Brutus Beefcake was actually MIGHTY sloppy.

The referee completes a ten count, ending the match in a double count out! The fight has started up again! Brutus Beefcake attacks Valentine, and they brawl all around ringside, then into the crowd! They eventually disappear backstage, still fighting. My Opinion: -*. That's right. NEGATIVE ONE STAR. That's what you get for this CRAP. Overall:47 Crowd Reaction:47 Match Quality:48 (Lovely match. Just lovely. Went nowhere just like this feud. Well on to the next match) A World Title Match in the middle of the card?: Kamala vs Secret Agent Mack.

My Opinion: You barely escaped a DUD rating. 1/4*. Overall:55 Crowd Reaction:53 Match Quality:58 (Kamala retains his belt with a little help from Kim Chee. Sure it was against the man with no overness but Kamala has a completely lame duck title reign going on. Kind of like Goldberg now in the other company) This Match was to happen this week but it is happening this week because Jake is halfway sober: One Man Gang and Irwin R. Schyster vs Jake Roberts and Big Bossman. Match Background: IRS and Roberts have been feuding recently. Neither has managed to get an in-ring victory in this feud.

Roberts \ Bossman whip IRS into the ropes and hit a double clothesline. Hooks the leg for a two count. Big kick from Bossman staggers IRS but that's about it. Big Bossman misses a clothesline.

Schyster saw that Roberts had a chain and was ready to hit him with it. A kick to the gut stuns Roberts, and the chain gets taken by IRS, who wraps it around his fist. Knock-out punch! Jake Roberts is out cold, KOed by his own weapon! The referee gets up to see the pinfall - 1....2....3! Another referee comes running down the aisle, and points out to the first official that Irwin R. Schyster used a steel chain to get this victory. The referee reverses the decision! Irwin R. Schyster has been disqualified! My Opinion: One SOLE bright spot in this match keeps it from going into DUD territory. 1/4*. Overall:54 Crowd Reaction:48 Match Quality:61 (The Hand of Dusty plays a fate in this match. Next Week will be Jake Roberts vs IRS for the TV belt which shall prove to be an interesting match. Two big title matches next week and two more will get set up shortly for the following week. Want to know what I mean.

Koko has caused a DQ through his hatred of Bushwhacker Butch. My Opinion: I'll give a 1\2* rating because they were actually able to hit a couple of spots. Overall:57 Crowd Reaction:53 Match Quality:61 (Koko B. Ware going psycho on someone is just too funny for words. The Week after Next will have the Bushwhackers get their PWH Tag Team Title Shot against either Demolition II or The New Rockers. The Bushwhackers have stuck through all three versions of PWH so could they finally hit tag team gold. Only the bookerman knows) Honky Tonk Man 101: Bob Backlund vs Honky Tonk Man.

He reaches out of the ring for Honky Tonk Man...and gets clobbered with the ring bell! Right to the head! The referee looks up to see HTM sliding in and making the pinfall.

Overall:61 Crowd Reaction:63 Match Quality:59 (Backlund is never the sharpest knife in the drawer. He gets hit with the ring bell and then offers a handshake to HTM. Of course he gets shook, rattled, and rolled. Of course Honky has completed the triology of title defenses so look for the fourth one soon. Will Backlund take the title or will Honky end the feud with an illegal pin. Only time will tell) Number One Contenders Match for the PWH World Title: Giant Gonzales vs Nathan Jones.

My Opinion: Bad match which brought absolutely nothing to the table and was a waste of time. DUD. Overall:49 Crowd Reaction:43 Match Quality:56 (Of course Gillberg does a sloppy short range spear. That is like his trademark. Notice that Who took the advantage after Gillberg botched that move. Art imitates life right there. Gillberg can't beat Who. No I am telling you Gillberg can't be Who.

Backlund comes to the ring. Honky says that the Interconinental Title will be on the line next week when he faces Bob Backlund in a match. Backlund gives a bland babyface interview with Honky pretending to fall asleep in the background. Honky Tonk Man finally gets sick of Backlund and breaks a guitar over his head.

My Opinion: *1\2 rating is all it gets from me. Overall:55 Crowd Reaction:32 Match Quality:78 (Holy crap that was actually a decent match. We cannot have too many of those. Disorderly Conduct do what they do best. Job. I think I need to bring in the Armstrong Brothers and The Villanos to respark their classic WCW Saturday Night Wars. I miss WCW Saturday Night. It is ten times better than anything else the WWE puts on these days) Demolition Crush vs Marty Jannetty. Match Background: This is a continuation of the Demolition II vs New Rockers feud.

The long awaited Demolition II vs New Rockers tag team match for the PWH Tag Team Titles. Next Week it will be:The Rock and Roll Express and Demolition II vs The New Rockers and the Midnight Express in an eight man Elimination Challenge Match.

My Opinion: -*. Somehow, you actually took AWAY from any enjoyment I could have had watching this. Overall:55 Crowd Reaction:59 Match Quality:48 (The hand of Dusty plays an evil fate in the title hopes of Nathan Jones. I don't know why Nathan would want to use anything that Kamala had in his pants.
