Guest bigdunn20 Posted December 27, 2002 Report Posted December 27, 2002 Steel Domain Wrestling, the #1 independent wrestling promotion in Minnesota, is about to conclude the year 2002 with a bang! On Saturday night, December 28th, SDW will present YEAR END SLAM 2002 at SDW’s home arena, the Armory in West St. Paul Minnesota. YEAR END SLAM ’02 will feature NINE big matches including TWO championship affairs, an “UPPER MIDWEST DREAM MATCH,” and several more matches with implications on the SDW Heavyweight and Television title pictures. Main Event for the SDW Heavyweight Championship: LENNY LANE vs. ADRAIN LYNCH. Since defeating Magnus Maximus for the SDW Heavyweight title back in August, Lenny Lane has been unstoppable. Lane, who is a former WCW Cruiserweight Champion, has fought off challenges from competitors such as Kamikaze Ken Anderson, Austin Aries, and JB Trask. The challenger, Adrian Lynch, is a former SDW Television champion, who has been hungry for gold ever since losing the TV strap to Mitch Paradise back in September. Lane and Lynch were originally set to face off for the strap last month at “November Knockout,” but Lynch was suspended by promoter Ed Hellier. Hellier was reluctant to grant Lynch a shot that the Championship, but Lane insisted on defending the belt in order to prove to the fans of SDW that he is a fighting champion. SCOTTY ZAPPA vs. MAGNUS MAXIMUS When these two were tag team partners in “Maximum Carnage,” virtually no one in SDW was safe from their wrath. These two close friends have turned bitter rivals quickly, all due to one act of betrayal by Scotty Zappa. At “November Knockout,” Zappa viciously attacked Magnus. While no one knows the reasoning behind Zappa’s actions, many people within SDW see Zappa as perhaps becoming jealous of all the opportunities his partner Magnus was receiving in pro-wrestling. Once all of the smoke was clear, Magnus made his intentions very clear to Zappa by saying “I made you. Now I will break you.” These are undoubtedly two of the top stars in SDW, and will wage a memorable war. ‘THE TRUTH’ AUSTIN ARIES vs. ‘THE HARDCORE LUCADORE’ DINO BAMBINO This match will be sure to tear the ROOF off of the West St. Paul Armory. Even though this will be taking place at the very last Steel Domain Wrestling show of 2002, this match very well could be a late breakout Match of the Year candidate. Each of these SDW Superstars posses a ton of talent, a ton of cockiness, and a ton of desire to move to the next level in professional wrestling. Many insiders are already talking about how this match may end up being reminiscent of the Jerry Lynn vs. Shawn Waltman matches of the early 1990s. With the addition of this match, "YES '02" will undoubtedly be a memorable event. MITCH PARADISE vs. KAMIKAZE KEN ANDERSON (w/ ALEXIS) Both of these wrestlers will be competing at YES ’02 looking to rebound from losses in Steel Domain Wrestling. At “November Knockout,” Mitch Paradise lost his SDW Television Title to Tracy Smothers, mostly due to Scotty Zappa’s outside interference. Kamikaze Ken Anderson was unsuccessful last time out in a bid for the SDW Heavyweight Championship against Lenny Lane. Both of these men are hungry to work their way back into the title picture, so the SDW Championship Committee will be watching this match-up between these two young stars very closely. TONY DENUCCI vs. ‘THE NATURAL’ MATT BURNS After a layoff of four months, the self proclaimed “Prettiest Man in Wrestling” Tony DeNucci will return to Steel Domain Wrestling. DeNucci, who has one of the most chiseled physiques and some of the most vicious knife-edge chops in wrestling today, in addition to his ultra-cocky persona, will be taking on Matt Burns, a former SDW Heavyweight Champion. “Burnsy”, who has been on a winning streak as of late, would love nothing more than to add a victory over DeNucci to his list. DeNucci will have other intentions though, such as inflicting tons of pain upon Burns, and going home with several ladies in attendance. For the SDW Women’s Championship: MISS NATURAL vs. VIXEN It has been a while since either of these two has competed in a SDW ring. This will be Miss Natural’s first visit to the West St. Paul Armory. Natural has a ton of ability, but will have to fend off the challenge of Vixen, who will be getting her first taste at a Women’s title match in SDW. ‘OLD SCHOOL’ DARYCK ST. HOLMES vs. BIG DADDY HOOFER Any opponent for ‘Old School’ St. Holmes is in for a challenge when they face him, and Big Daddy Hoofer will be no exception at YES ’02. Some may say St. Holmes’ style of wrestling is “outdated,” but no one can question that it is effective against his opponents. Big Daddy Hoofer, while he surely has been studying tapes of previous St. Holmes matches, has somewhat of an unpredictable style of his own. “Hoof” will more than likely have the West St. Paul fans behind him, too. This should be a very competitive match. ‘LIVEWIRE’ JOHNNY PARKS vs. GAGE OCTANE (w/VIXEN) Last month at November Knockout, Johnny Parks made his return following a lengthy absence due to a knee injury. While he was unsuccessful in his match against Scotty Zappa, he was successful in the sense that he returned to the ring after many thought his career as an active competitor was over for good. The man from Australia will have another tough match at YES ’02 as he takes on Gage Octane. It has been several months since we have seen Octane in an SDW ring, and he will surely be bringing back with him his arrogance and his large repertoire of offensive maneuvers. Tag Team Action: THE MALIBU SUN KINGS vs. ‘GOD’S GIFT TO WOMEN KEVIN KRUEGER’ and KUJO This will be the Steel Domain Wrestling debut for the Malibu Sun Kings as a team. The MSK’s hail from Hawaii and will likely be sporting tans to indicate such. Everyone knows what Kujo and Krueger are capable as a team, as they are both veterans in the upper Midwest. The West St. Paul Armory is located on the northeast corner of Robert St. and Emerson Ave. in West St. Paul, approximately two miles north of I-494. Admission at the door is $15 for adults, and a brand new lower price of $5 for kids 12 and under. As always, this will be a TELEVISION TAPING for KSTC 45's "SDW TWIN CITIES RINGSIDE," (which can be seen every Saturday at 2pm) so if you want to be on TV, be sure to bring signs, and be as crazy as you possibly can be.

Chunk Posted December 27, 2002 Report Posted December 27, 2002 May sound like a dumb question, but is TONY DENUCCI any relation to Dominic?
