The Official Gateway Championship Wrestling Thread

[Guest PowerPB13]

Depends on your travel plans...this coming weekend is just a St. Louis double-shot, whereas the weekend after that, you'd be going up to St. Louis on Friday and then back down to Cape on Saturday.

 

I'd say the Adult show card looks stronger, the top four matches look very strong, especially Twist vs. Lightfoot. I wonder if Twist will get some kind of "added" title defense at the Aggies' house show...

 

Given the rumblings about a certain group of six making their return, I have to wonder what might go down at upcoming shows...I'll leave it at that. Haven't really heard anything yet, but is silence good or bad? Part of me would love to see Matt Sydal, Jack Adonis, Billy McNeil, Ryan Ash, C.J. McManus, and Pondula back...but part of me wonders if it would be worth potentially disrupting the locker room with regards to a few of those guys.

Yeah this Friday does look a bit better. Then again who knows if Pondo will show.

 

Delirious vs Daizee vs OuTtkast should be pretty damn good though. That match alone almost makes me pick the 19th over the 12th. Is that the first time Chaz and Sharp have wrestled one on one?

 

But this Friday would be better since then I could just hang around St Louis that night to go to tv the next day.

 

Crap. I can't skip two straight Fridays to go to both.

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

It would be cool to see them come back as a heel Operation Shamrock doing random run-ins at first.

 

After the lightheavyweight tourney, they all run in and steal it for Billy. They could cause some real chaos.

 

Then again it could steal some thunder from the Fourth Reich. Don't know if we could have that. Think a heel OS could actually end up turning Nikki and Pete good?

 

 

 

Post #1000! Whoo! I finally made it. The longest road to 1000 ever?

Their webmaster keeps promising the site is about to be revamped and updated. At first, it was supposed to be by the new year but circumstances stalled it. So,hopefully soon......

I really need to hit the webmaster up for the password to the site so I can do my own "updating"...*insert maniacal laugh*

[Guest PowerPB13]

GCW "did it for Floyd" tonight in its 27th installment of "Adults F'n Only"! One of the late Floyd DePriest's friends said a few words before the show, remembering how Floyd was a big fan of GCW, especially the Adults Only shows...and tonight's show would be in his honor!

 

The opening match pitted the "B-Team"(Trainee #11 & Trainee #14) against the Diabolic Khaos duo of MsChif and Jackal! The trainees had a good showing, but the experience edge was too much to overcome...Jackal planted Trainee #11 with the Killswitch #2 while MsChif finished off Trainee #14 with the Gateway To Annihilation, scoring the pinfall!

 

In a triple threat match, it was Jynx vs. David Cox vs. Richard Head(accompanied by Sean Vincent)! For a while it seemed like Head was in a one-against-two situation, enduring a beating from both opponents. With Head down on the mat, Jynx attempted a swanton bomb, but Head moved out of the way. Then Cox set up Jynx for a legdrop off the turnbuckles, but Jynx avoided that move...and Head quickly covered a stunned David Cox to steal the victory!

 

The Super Castaldis had a rather rough night as they "wrestled" Heart Attack Jack and his new tag team partner Bo Jangles! Heart Attack Jack and Bo Jangles brought new meaning to the term "double-teaming", and they finished off the "pride of Encinada" with a move that I'll refer to as the "69 Special"...use your imagination.

 

Ian Storm vs. "The Icon" Chris Hargas: Hargas used his power to control the match, but Storm turned the tide with his technical expertise. Ian tried to finish off Hargas with the Thunderstorm, but Hargas escaped the move and rolled up Storm for the pin, using a handful of tights to secure the win!

 

"The Human Wrecking Ball" Pete Madden, sporting a new "blond-haired" look and accompanied by the rest of the Fourth Reich(Nikki Strychnine, DINGO, & Sindy) squared off with OuTtKaSt in a Milwaukee Street Fight...and everything but the kitchen sink was at the combatants' disposal to be chosen by the fans! Crutches, thumbtacks, barbed-wire kendo stick, staple gun, mousetraps, even Madman Pondo! This match featured not one but TWO "thirty-second lumberjack lashdowns", and the fans enjoyed them so much that Big Bad Ben called for a few encores! Madden endured a top-rope Frankensteiner that send him crashing through a chairs-and-stop-sign setup, but recovered to suplex OuTtKaSt onto a ladder, bending the ladder! In the end, a table made the difference, as Pete spread tacks all over the table, only to have KaSt recover and set HIM up on the table...and KaSt finished the job by putting Madden through the table with a senton bomb off the top turnbuckle! OuTtKaSt came out on top in this hard-hitting Milwaukee Street Fight!

 

After intermission, it looked like the hardcore action was just starting as Madman Pondo made his entrance to face Chaz Wesson(accompanied by Coach Chuck Farley)! However, Pondo insisted that he wanted to wrestle a technical match...and actually did so for a good portion of the match! However, Wesson turned things hardcore himself, bringing his trademark sledgehammer into play! Pondo, thusly incited, brought in the stop sign to turn things up a notch, blasting Wesson in the head with it and laying it across Wesson's knee to bash it with the hammer! Chaz was bloodied by the end of the matchup, but managed to turn things around by locking Pondo in an abdominal stretch! However, Pondo's efforts to escape ended in him knocking down the referee, resulting in the ref calling for a disqualification!

 

It wasn't over yet, as Wesson challenged Pondo to a rematch at next month's Adult show...a true hardcore match this time! Pondo accepted by running back out to fight with Wesson all over Aggies'...and he challenged Chaz to step through the ropes next month, with the ropes wrapped in barbed wire! It looks like these two will be going at it again on April 9th at Adults F'n Only 28 in a barbed-wire match!

 

The Reich made another appearance, as Nikki Strychnine & DINGO(w/ Sindy) faced Thug Inc.(Kevin Sharp & Shawn Almighty)! Strychnine said that they didn't have to fight...as long as they agreed to pay the Fourth Reich a different sort of "reparations". Suffice it to say that Sharp and Almighty declined in violent fashion! The match's momentum swung back and forth, but nothing was settled as the match ended in a time-limit draw, with the four continuing to brawl all over Aggies' and out of the building!

 

Killer Keith Smith(w/ Coach) faced "Slim Sexy" Sean Vincent(w/ Dick...er...Richard Head), and the chops were served in plenty on this night! Vincent tried to target Keith's leg to take him down to the mat, but when he attempted to use Keith's own figure-four leglock against him, Keith kicked him away and fought back! At this point, Thug Inc. made a big production out of leaving the arena, which occupied Smith's attention just long enough for Vincent to roll him up while holding the tights(...moon over St. Louis...)! Amazingly enough, Vincent barely edged out a victory over Keith Smith! While this was going on, the Reich ran out and jumped Thug Inc. from behind, starting the fight all over again!

 

Once the fight FINALLY settled down, it was time for the main event, with Kory Twist defending the GCW Heavyweight Title against Jeremy Lightfoot! In Aggies', Kory and Jeremy won the respect of the GCW fans with their performance at the "Gateway Challenge" last May, and this time around, they were in the main event, fighting for the biggest prize in GCW! They didn't disappoint, as the two great competitors pulled out all the stops to put the other away!

 

Both Twist and Lightfoot went aerial at different points in the matchup, and when it looked like Twist had a chance to win with the Fate Factor, referee Jim Tennings was knocked down and there was no one to count the pin! Twist tried to revive the ref, but got hit with the Lightfoot Driver(Whiplash version) and a groggy Tennings counted one...two...and Twist got a shoulder up just before three!

 

At this point Twist used his own Lightfoot Driver(Michinoku Driver version) on Jeremy...but only got a two-count! Then Jeremy used the Fate Factor on Twist...again, only a two-count! Jeremy's frustration got the better of him, as he brought a steel chair into the match...when he attempted a Van Daminator, Twist avoided the move, then threw the chair to Jeremy and hit his own Van Daminator! Twist set up Jeremy and hit him with the Ill Effect(moonsault into a 450), picking up a hard-fought win to hang onto the GCW Heavyweight Title! Jeremy grabbed the title belt from Tennings post-match, but showed good sportsmanship by giving it to the champion and raising his hand!

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

After some very noteworthy losses of people this year, the return of Billy McNeil and CJ McManus will hopefully spark things up.

[Guest PowerPB13]

Forgot about this thread...BUMP to run down results from the past month or so...

 

3/19/04 at Aggies' in St. Louis, MO

 

-D.N.S.(formerly Team Trainee) d. The B-Team(female trainees #11 & #14).

-Jynx d. Ian Storm.

-Chris Hargas & David Cox d. Cabal & Rat Boy.

-MsChif d. Sean Vincent.

-Keith Smith d. Jeremy Lightfoot.

-DINGO d. Shawn Almighty + OuTtKaSt in a triple threat.

-Chaz Wesson d. Kevin Sharp in a "#1 contenders'" match.

 

Notes: Really great show, I liked Jynx-Storm, MsChif-Vincent, and the three-way a lot. Keith-Jeremy and Chaz-Sharp were more old-school and were a lot of fun as well. Hargas showed impressive power by German suplexing the big guy Cabal and then lifting him up for a Doomsday Device! D.N.S. is kind of a homage to Pulp Fiction, comprised of Jimmy Charisma(formerly ref Jim Aggie) and Melvin Talent(formerly ref Melvin Root).

 

3/20/04 at the A.C. Brase Arena in Cape Girardeau, MO

 

-Sean Vincent d. Trainee #14.

-Jimmy Charisma d. Rat Boy.

-Trainee #14 d. Sean Vincent in a rematch. (#14 is from Cape; Vincent won the first match but #14 got a foot on the ropes which the ref didn't see. Keith ordered the rematch which #14 won clean. They set up a hair vs. hair rematch for the next time GCW is in Cape, which I think is in mid-May.)

-Cabal d. Melvin Talent.

-Searcher & Damian Blade from Midwest Powerhouse Wrestling d. Big Bad Ben & Curtis Payne(also from MPW).

-Keith Smith d. Makaze. (The angle was that Keith got Makaze's mask back from the Fourth Reich and gave it to Makaze to wear for one night only.)

-MsChif vs. Shawn Almighty vs. OuTtKaSt in a three-stage triple threat match; first stage standard rules, second stage table match, third stage ladder match(aka hardcore match with ladder use strongly encouraged ). Almighty won the first two stages, pinning KaSt clean with his Last Revelation finisher and blocking a top-rope Frankensteiner to sitout powerbomb MsChif through a table in stage two. MsChif won the third stage with a Gateway To Annihilation(Final Cut/Eye Of The Hurricane) off the top on KaSt.

-Jynx d. Jeremy Lightfoot; they're building Jynx as a submission wrestler, as he beat both Ian and Jeremy with Crippler Crossface holds. Unfortunately these two didn't seem to click on this night.

-Chaz beat Dingo in a hardcore-esque brawl, with Chaz defending the belt on behalf of the injured Twist(and wearing the belt to the ring, which was cool). Chaz Pedigreed Dingo off a table on the top rope onto another table in the ring, but the in-ring table didn't break so Chaz put Dingo on the table and hit a splash off the top to put him through and beat him.

[Guest PowerPB13]

3/26/04 at the Wild Acres Gym in Overland, MO:

 

-Dingo d. The B-Team in a handicap match.

-Jeremy d. Dingo by DQ in an impromptu match(Reich interference).

-Cabal & Rat Boy squished the Super Castaldis.

-Jynx won a triple threat over Jackal and Richard Head with a Crossface on both men at once.

-Hargas & Cox won a three-way dance with D.N.S. and Thug Inc.(D'Mon G & Almighty). D.N.S. hit their spike Skyhigh finisher(the "Royale With Cheese") to eliminate D'Mon, but Hargas & Cox eliminated D.N.S. with the Doomsday Device.

-Sean Vincent d. C.J. McManus(returning) due to partisan officiating by Richard Head.

-Chaz d. Ian with the Pedigree, surprisingly one-sided.

-OuTtKaSt d. Billy McNeil(returning) by countout. Vincent refereed the match and called it against McNeil(odd since this was face vs. face), which brought out C.J., which brought out Richard Head. McNeil/Vincent brawled with Vincent/Head on the outside and another ref got into the ring and counted out McNeil.

-Keith d. Pete in a best-of-three-falls match to retain the Commissionership. Pete won fall one with Diamond Dust and feet on the ropes, Keith won fall two with a small package. Fall three was a strap match, which was Keith's specialty, and he won that one. Big retirement ceremony for Keith afterwards; he'd made a comeback to the ring after seemingly career-ending neck surgery and wanted to go out on his own terms. Emotional stuff, including Keith handing his wrestling boots over to his son.

4/9/04 AF'NO at Aggies':

 

The undercard matches were all qualifiers for a Gateway Rumble at the end of the night, also including GCW Champion Kory Twist who was putting his belt on the line in the match.

 

-Jimmy Charisma d. The B-Team in a handicap match.

-D'Mon G d. Jackal.

-Kevin Sharp d. Jeremy Lightfoot.

-Heart Attack Jack & Bo Jangles d. Sean Vincent & Richard Head.

-Jynx d. Mick Danger(formerly Billy McNeil).

-Ian Storm d. Melvin Talent. (I sense a theme at this point, with four straight matches with submission finishes. )

-Chaz d. DINGO in a bloody matchup.

-The Rumble ended with Twist and Chaz, with DINGO coming out to screw over Chaz and avenge his earlier loss. DINGO low-bridged Chaz out to give the win to Twist, but they announced Twist vs. Chaz one-on-one for the belt for the May 1st show at Aggies'.

 

GCW TV

 

The Fourth Reich "took over" GCW TV after winning a best-of-three-match series. Strychnine beat Jeremy, Chaz beat Pete, DINGO upset Twist(non-title). The "Hateway" TV show featured such oddities as "Satan" doing timekeeper duties, Thug Inc. against referee Jim Tennings in a handicap match, partners Cabal and Rat Boy pitted against each other with Madden as ref, and a pretty good Parejas Incredibles match with Ian Storm and Jackal defeating MsChif and OuTtKaSt.

 

Upcoming shows are Friday April 30th in Overland and Saturday May 1st at Aggies'(Twist vs. Wesson for the title).

The more I think about it ,the more the "Mick Danger" thing annoys me.

 

They've lost all this good talent the last 6-8 months.....they bring back one of them. A very popular and charismatic wrestler who's been with them for most of their existence. Someone who could get some interest back in the promotion and return to the main events.

 

So instead of the return of Billy McNeil,we get Mick Danger. And if you weren't at the show he came back or happen to read the recap on the site......you have no idea that it's Billy McNeil. It strikes me as being very dumb. Plus the name just sucks anyways. It sounds like a video game character or a detective in a porn film or something.

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

New bitching

 

It's time for Sean Vincent to be more than just a bitch for Heart Attack Jack and trainees. The guy is one of,if not, the most over heels on the roster. He was voted best heel for 2003. I think he's more than paid his dues for some of the crazy shit they've had him do. Sometime this year,he deserves a push at Twist.

[Guest PowerPB13]

GCW TV Report 4/24/04

 

Back to the standard open, as apparently the affiliates didn't think Fourth Reich propaganda was suitable material for local-access television. Your hosts are an apologetic Grand Poobah and a not-so-apologetic Tommy Jeans, and Pete Madden joins us very early in this episode. He says that the scheduled main event has been axed...Pete claims it was some crappy match with Rob Van Dam, who he sent home. Suuuuure. Anywho, Pete announces the first ever "Join The Fourth Reich" Rumble later tonight. That'll be interesting.

 

Jynx vs. Shawn Almighty(w/ Kevin Sharp, still on that cell phone)

 

Both of these guys have been on winning streaks as of late...something's gotta give.

 

Opening lockup and Almighty pushes Jynx back to the corner...clean break. Lockup again, Almighty gets an armwringer, but Jynx rolls through and reverses. Almighty punches his way out of that, then whips Jynx into the ropes and comes off the other side with his killer Hart Attack-style flying clothesline. Cover...for two. Whip to the turnbuckles, Jynx reverses and follows him in with a high knee...whip and leg lariat...for two.

 

Jynx stomps him down, then snapmares him and kicks a field goal on Almighty's back!...for twooooo. Commentators hype an interview with GCW Champion Kory Twist later on, as well as Sean Vincent in action...gotta take the bad with the good, or something. Whip into the turnbuckles is reversed by Almighty, who jumps to the second rope and then hits a jumping high kick to Jynx's head! Whip and clothesline and it looks like Almighty's in control, but Jynx fires back on him...whip into the corner and Jynx hits a double high knee to the chest!

 

Whip is reversed but Jynx hangs onto the ropes, then dumps Almighty out to the apron when he charges at him. Almighty tries to get back in, but Jynx leaps to the second rope and launches a legdrop to the head, which just grazes him. Undaunted, Jynx tries it again, but this time Almighty avoids it and Jynx crashes and burns to the canvas! Almighty re-enters in a major way with a slingshot splash, covers for one...two...three.

 

WINNER: Shawn Almighty

 

Thug Inc. graciously helps Jynx up after the match, but only so Kevin Sharp can superkick him back down. That's compassion for ya.

 

RVD and Fonzie tell us about GCW TV.

 

Super Castaldis VII & IX vs. "Slim Sexy" Sean Vincent & Richard Head

 

Backstory: Richard(Fans: "DICK!") can't win a friggin' match on TV, so Vincent set this up for him, despite the fact that he feels he's lowering himself to competing with the Castaldis. Jeans compares the Castaldis to other great masked Mexican wrestlers, while Poobah kindly points out that at least those other guys WON MATCHES.

 

Anywho, Vincent graces us with his in-ring presence(err...) by starting the match with Castaldi VII(I'll take Poobah's word for it). Vincent grabs the early advantage and hits a quick neckbreaker, then teases a shirt removal before deciding the fans don't deserve it(yet, anyway). Inverted atomic drop and Bossman sit, THEN he removes the shirt and makes an, ahem, unique pin cover for two. Vincent chokes the Castaldi with his custom FUBU shirt, then catapults the Castaldi into his own corner, which allows Castaldi IX to tag in.

 

Castaldi's momentum lasts about a half-second, as Vincent catches him with a snap suplex coming in, then tags in Richard("DICK!") to finish things. Head has things well in hand, but Vincent gets out a chain behind the referee's back just in case. Then as Head whips Castaldi into the corner, Vincent gets in a cheapshot with the chain. Head springboards off the middle rope, back into a modified spear(nicely done)...and gets the pin!

 

WINNERS: Sean Vincent & Richard Head

 

Vincent is excited that his protege finally won a TV match, so he brings out some balloons and sings his praises. Vincent: "Richard..." Fans: "DICK!" Vincent: "Richard..." Fans: "DICK!" Vincent brings out some cake("It's kinda smooshed...") and cheap booze(Jeans: "That had to cost at least five dollars")...and while he says none of the women at Aggies' are good enough for Richard("DICK!"), he paid off Sindy to give him a back rub. Now that's a reward for winning, folks.

 

Nova tells us we're watching Gateway Championship Wrestling.

 

Tommy Jeans interviews Kory Twist backstage...they show footage of the Fourth Reich's attack and Twist says he's got cracked ribs and will be out for several weeks, but it'll be tough to sit on the sidelines for that long. Jeans brings up the thirty-day rule and says he may not be able to defend his title within that time frame if he's hurt...and he asks Twist if he regrets not joining the Reich when he had the chance. Twist says he doesn't regret it at all...everything happens for a reason and this is just another test for him to pass. The Reich hurt him, but they didn't kill him, and they didn't kill his faith.

 

"Join The Fourth Reich" Rumble

 

The Reich is at ringside, with Pete Madden doing ring announcing duties and proclaiming that we'll see all of our GCW favorites...they all signed open contracts("...which we copied..."). We start with Rat Boy and a newcomer, Trainee #5. Pete proclaims that the trainee may be "five" now, but he could be "FOUR" after this battle royal.

 

#5 goes right on the attack against Rat Boy, which seems to impress Tommy Jeans. Next in is Jackal so Pete can make short jokes, and Richard Head, fresh off his first TV win, is the fourth entrant. Head quickly makes his presence known by dumping Rat Boy over the top. Jim Tennings is the fifth one in, singled out for more abuse by the Reich, as Head hits a weird modified atomic drop on Jackal. Jynx enters and trashes the Reich on the way out, but he wants to prove himself in the battle royal anyway. Okay. Jynx fires off a nice flying headscissors on Trainee #5 shortly thereafter!

 

Sean Vincent enters, but apparently Sindy didn't appreciate having to give Richard("DICK!") that backrub earlier and slaps Vincent on the way out. Heh. Jynx throws out Trainee #5(as Pete calls the eliminations..."I went to Broadcast Center!"). Tennings actually pulls out a cool move as he hits Jackal with a Gory Special Bomb! Vincent throws out Jynx and Head eliminates Tennings...it appears Vincent and Head have decided to team up in this match.

 

Another newcomer and referee, Kevin Kennedy, enters the Rumble next, going right after Jackal and landing a nice dropkick. Pete says we need more "testosterone" in there, so he brings in Trainee #11(a female trainee, har har). #11 doesn't want any part of the Reich, but they throw her into the ring anyway. #11 dishes out some abuse on Jackal(who's had a really long night), and on the other side of the ring Vincent divebombs into Kennedy with a running Vaderbomb-headbutt to the groin. Hunter Johnston(one of the referees) enters next(I think Kennedy was eliminated off-camera), and as it turns out, Trainee #11 has had enough of the match and climbs out, eliminating herself. Strychnine threatens her, but she gets in a slap on Madden before storming off. Heh.

 

Back to the ring, Johnston seems to have been dumped just as quickly as he entered the match. Jeremy Lightfoot is the next one in, and Pete's comments toward him are so "colorful" that they get muted out. Whoops. Cabal("The Wookie", sayeth Pete) enters next, and Jeremy, after getting into a few tussles in the ring, decides to follow #11's lead and eliminate himself. Pete: "What, are you going to slap me now?" Jeremy: "No." CHOP. Ouch.

 

Pete is reeling from this, and he looks up just in time to see Cabal military-press his former partner Jackal and throw him to the floor, right onto Pete and DINGO! Pete(on his back on the floor): "...Jackal has been eliminated..." Vincent and Head double up to get Cabal out, and it looks like the two partners are the only ones left. They try to figure out who should win this one...but suddenly Shawn Almighty hits the ring! It looks like we have one more entrant...Almighty runs at the two, and Vincent ducks the clothesline just in time for Almighty to instead hit Head with it, sending him over the top! Vincent goes after Almighty, but charges and gets backdropped over the top onto Head!

 

WINNER: Shawn Almighty

 

So Shawn Almighty is the newest member of the Fourth Reich...waitaminute, SHAWN ALMIGHTY is a member of the FOURTH REICH? The Reich members are decidedly upset about this, as Pete stammers his way through his commentary and Kevin Sharp joins Almighty in the ring for some confetti celebration! Nikki orders Pete to tell Almighty that he is NOT the winner, but Pete says, um, actually there are no more entrants into the match, so he did win. If he signed the contract, he's in...and they find that Almighty signed the contract as "Adolf X". Really. Almighty mockingly celebrates... "I'm in the Reich! I'm in! White power!" He tops that off by stealing Strychnine's military hat and giving the Reich salute...and Sharp says that they're gonna bring some "soul" to the Fourth Reich.

 

Strychnine: "Another brilliant idea, Commandant...BRILLIANT!"

[Guest PowerPB13]

On McNeil/Danger: I thought the name change was odd myself...I'll try to ask him about that at the Overland show or something to find out whose idea it really was. By any name, he's a great talent, so I hope this return to GCW will work out.

 

On Vincent: I wholeheartedly agree. His booking has been REALLY odd this year, as sometimes he'll give a strong opponent a good fight(Dingo in January, MsChif last month, Jeremy in DeSoto a few months back) and other times he'll just take a beating. And no matter who he fights and who he loses to, he remains over as a heel.

 

I had the brainstorm a long time ago to make Vincent a heel Light Heavyweight Champion...it happened on two occasions early last year(during the time when the belt was changing hands a bunch), but neither reign lasted very long. Once they get the LHW Title tournament figured out, I hope he goes far.

 

-Patrick

[Guest PowerPB13]

These'll be fairly quick(it's been a long week)...suffice it to say that I really enjoyed the show and I can't think of a single bad match on the card. Good job by everyone involved and I'm looking forward to tomorrow night as well!

 

Jackal defeated Trainee #11 after the Killswitch #2 and a somersault senton.

 

Melvin Talent upset Cabal with a cross-bodyblock off the top turnbuckle.

 

Jimmy Charisma made it 2-0 for D.N.S., beating Richard Head with a wheelbarrow pickup into a face spike.

 

Jynx pinned Mick Danger with a cool La Majistral cradle variation after sliding through Danger's legs. Post-match, Danger(who was already agitated with both ring announcer Adam Starr and the fans for calling him by his previous name) absolutely snapped, assaulting Jynx with an enzuigiri and bashing him with a chair! He then duct-taped Jynx's arms to the top rope, blasted him in the head with the chair again, and then sat on the chair in front of him and laughed maniacally at him! OuTtKaSt hit the ring to go after Danger, and it resulted in a pull-apart between the two(who will square off tomorrow night at Aggies')!

 

"Preach"(Shawn Almighty)(w/ Thug Inc.) defeated Sean Vincent despite the biased officiating of Richard Head. Vincent pulled out some surprising aerial offense in this one, but Preach had the match won with the Last Revelation had it not been for Head's slow count. Preach and D'Mon G cornered Head while Kevin X delivered the Pavement on Vincent, then intimidated him into making the pin count(something about "gangster style"...).

 

Chaz Wesson(w/ Coach) won a triple threat match involving Kevin X(w/ Thug Inc.) and OuTtKaSt; Kevin X countered a Case Study attempt into the Pavement, but Chaz Pedigreed Kevin X onto KaSt and covered both for the pin.

 

D'Mon G(w/ Thug Inc.) defeated Jeremy Lightfoot, escaping a Lightfoot Driver attempt and hitting a Tomakazi for the pinfall.

 

GCW Heavyweight Champion Kory Twist vs. DINGO(w/ Sindy): Great matchup that saw the two fight all over the Wild Acres Gym. Twist survived a DINGOsault and DINGO survived a Fate Factor. Twist tried to set up for the same move that he used to beat Nikki for the title(the far corner-to-far corner Van Terminator), but Sindy distracted the ref while DINGO freed himself from the turnbuckles. DINGO nailed Twist with the chair, but Chaz Wesson ran in and Pedigreed DINGO, putting Twist on top and getting out of the ring in time for the ref to turn around and count a pinfall for Kory! Afterwards, Chaz said it wasn't personal, just business...he was preserving his title match with Twist tomorrow night at Aggies'!

[Guest PowerPB13]

Once again, Wayne's World cap off to the GCW roster for another all-around strong show this weekend!

 

Jynx vs. Trainee #14: Jynx had control of the match and Trainee #14 rolled out of the ring to regroup, with the referee going out to check on her. Mick Danger ran into the ring and nailed Jynx with a jumping enzuigiri while the referee wasn't looking, and Trainee #14 hit the springboard clothesline and got the pin. I'd have to call that an upset, Schiavone. OuTtKaSt runs out to jump Mick, with the locker room emptying again to separate the two.

 

Cabal vs. Team Trainee 3.0(#5, #8, & #15): The three trainees did their best to take the big man off his feet, but to no avail as Cabal pinned #5 after a chokeslam.

 

Jeremy Lightfoot vs. "The Icon" Chris Hargas: Jeremy tried to set up a Lightfoot Driver off the top turnbuckle, but Hargas fought out of it and hit a modified Diamond Dust off the turnbuckles for the victory(with feet on the ropes)!

 

Jackal vs. Richard Head(w/ Sean Vincent): Evenly-fought match, with a timely distraction by Vincent allowing Head to get a low blow in at one point. Head took advantage of a missed moonsault and hit a powerbomb flipped forward into a DDT for the win(yes, Richard Head won a match!).

 

Ian Storm vs. David Cox: Cox had a well-timed counter to the John Wu Dropkick, sidestepping the move and clotheslining Ian out of the air...but he got floored by the move later in the match. Cox dropped Storm with a face-first snapmare move and got a near-fall, then went on to pick up a big win with a Northern Lights Bomb.

 

DINGO(w/ Sindy) vs. "Slim Sexy" Sean Vincent(w/ Richard Head): Vincent wanted some payback for his loss to DINGO back in January, and to his credit he hung in there with DINGO once again, with each man surviving the other's best moves. Vincent tried for the Sexy Elbow but DINGO caught him with a Dingo Driver off the top turnbuckle, then a moonsault for the win. DINGO added a post-match Dingo Driver for fun.

 

Thug Inc. vs. D.N.S.: Kevin X came out alone, talking on his cell phone...he said that his partner Preach had been racially profiled and pulled over on the way to the building, so he would be going it alone. It seemed like an uphill battle for Kevin X, but he was able to escape the setup for the Royale With Cheese and superkick Jimmy Charisma...he then followed up with the "Pavement" on Melvin Talent for the pinfall. Post-match, Charisma suggested that maybe D.N.S. stands for "D'Mon Never Shows"...

 

OuTtKaSt vs. Mick Danger: This one definitely lived up to the hype...unfortunately, it ended without a decisive winner as the referee got knocked down as KaSt hit the Case Study. Jynx ran out to get some retribution on Danger, triggering another pull-apart fight involving all three men. Evil Jim, who will be in charge of Adults F'n Only once again in two weeks on May 14th, booked a last-man-standing match between KaSt and Danger for the show!

 

GCW Champion Kory Twist vs. Chaz Wesson(w/ Coach Chuck Farley): DINGO came out to ringside right away, wanting to enter himself into the match, but Ben and Evil Jim stopped him, as Ben had ruled last month that DINGO would be handcuffed to him(Ben) during this match. It was an evenly-fought contest with Ben neutralizing DINGO's interference on the outside. Chaz countered the Fate Factor into an inverted Russian legsweep at one point.

 

Sindy came out to ringside and distracted Ben, allowing DINGO to sneak the handcuff key away from him and free himself, then lay out Ben with a chair! Twist was distracted by the goings-on outside the ring, and Wesson took advantage, rolling Twist up in a rolling reverse cradle with a bridge for the one...two...THREE! Chaz Wesson is the new GCW Heavyweight Champion!

 

Post-match, Twist was uncharacteristically distraught, complaining about being rolled up while he was distracted and even asking "can I have my belt back?" Wesson said that he had told Twist straight-up...he would win the belt by any means neceessary, including taking advantage of an opportunity. Wesson said that Twist would get his rematch in two weeks at Adults F'n Only, and the two shook hands. On top of all of that, a fired-up Big Bad Ben challenged DINGO for Adults F'n Only, which Evil Jim granted him!

 

The stage has already been set for AF'NO on May 14th...but of course the big news is that we have a NEWWWWW GCW Heavyweight Champion. Congratulations, Chaz Wesson!

Jynx vs. Jackal: Jackal got a near-fall after the Killswitch, but Jynx was able to score a small package pin shortly after that.

 

Rat Boy vs. Sean Vincent w/ Ricahrd Head: Rat Boy had Vincent set up for the Dolphin Dive, but Richard Head distracted him and Vincent rolled him up for the three-count.

 

Cabal vs. Super Electro: The return of the electrifying one was short-circuited...suffice it to say that perhaps he should have just "Let The Wookie Win". Cabal picked up the victory with the Oblivion cobra clutch slam.

 

Ian Storm vs. Preach w/ Kevin X: Kevin X jumped Storm before the battle of former Double Negative tag team partners even started. Things turned around later on and Ian had Preach locked in the Toolbox, but Kevin X broke it up, ending the match in a no-contest. Ian challenged Thug Inc. to face him and a partner of his choice later in the night...

 

Big Bad Ben vs. DINGO w/ Sindy: These two brawled all over Aggies', using chairs and a table...Ben catapulted DINGO into the table, and then DINGO broke the table by monkeyflipping Ben into it! Sindy proved to be the deciding factor in the match, distracting Ben from hitting the chokeslam and then throwing powder in his eyes. With the big man blinded, DINGO delivered a knockout shot with a steel chair to the head and got the pinfall! Ben got some post-match payback, powerbombing DINGO and then chokeslamming him!

 

After intermission, it was Thug Inc. against Ian Storm and his partner, "The Icon" Chris Hargas! Storm and Hargas worked fairly well together in their first match as a team, but Kevin X and Preach were the more cohesive unit. Preach pinned Storm after Kevin X boosted him into the air for an elevated Shawnton Bomb!

 

Last-man-standing, OuTtKaSt vs. Mick Danger: Things started off technical, but quickly broke down into hardcore warfare as various weapons were used...the ring steps, chairs, a stop sign, a kendo stick, and a ladder! KaSt hit a Case Study off the top turnbuckle, then got out the mousetraps and tried to drive Danger down onto them with a 450 splash, but Danger moved out of the way and KaSt hit the mousetraps! Next came the thumbtacks, and KaSt was able to counter a top-rope move, headscissoring Danger off the top and down onto the tacks! KaSt went for the kill, but Danger took him down off the top rope with an amazing moonsaulting fallaway slam(the "Super Karate Monkey Death Car") onto the tacks! KaSt still wouldn't stay down...a DDT onto the tacks, followed by a vicious series of kendo stick shots to the head, finally kept KaSt down for the ten-count!

 

Chaz Wesson(GCW Champion) w/ Coach Chuck Farley vs. Kory Twist vs. jeremy Lightfoot: These three allies were opponents on this night, and it was difficult to score a deciding fall as there was always a third person to break up a pin/submission attempt. Chaz found a way to add even more pain to his chops, putting on a coal miner's glove! Two tables were destroyed...one when Jeremy delivered a Lightfoot Driver variation on Twist off the top rope through a table, another when Chaz Rocket-Launched Twist onto Jeremy, who was laid out on a table! Everyone seemed to hit finishers on everyone else, but the deciding fall was counted when Twist hit Jeremy with the Fate Factor and got the victory! Kory Twist is now a two-time GCW Heavyweight Champion!

 

Chaz was not pinned to lose the belt, and post-match Coach reminded Twist that he would fight Chaz once again tomorrow night in Cape Girardeau, best-of-three-falls! Kory Twist is the champion once again, but it looks like the Twist vs. Wesson story is far from over...

[Guest PowerPB13]

Pre-show matches from Tristan's birthday party(if you want GCW to help you with your birthday party, just contact GCW management!): Jackal d. Gonzo Bizarro; Hunter Johnston d. Kevin Kennedy with a rollup while holding the ropes; Super Castaldi VII d. Richard Head with a Sicilian Crab; Jynx d. Super Castaldi I(w/ Coach Castaldi) with the Crossface; GCW Champion Kory Twist d. Trainee #11 after a spinebuster.

 

On to the show itself...

 

Jackal d. Rat Boy with the Killswitch #2

 

Cabal d. Team Trainee 3.0(#5 & #15) in a handicap match, hitting Oblivion cobra clutch slams on both #15 and #5 and pinning #5. Post-match, Cabal hugged Louie in a touching family reunion.

 

Adam Starr brought OuTtKaSt out for an interview segment about the last-man-standing match last night with Mick Danger, but Danger himself interrupted and ended up giving KaSt a cheapshot. DINGO ran in to add to the abuse, but Jynx made the save; the TLC match for the night ended up becoming a tag team TLC match!

 

Makaze d. Richard Head(w/ Sean Vincent) with the Osaka Jam.

 

Michael Strider and #1 Brett Young made their respective returns to GCW action, with Strider picking up the win with the inverted swinging neckbreaker.

 

Trainee #14 d. Sean Vincent in the hair vs. hair match; Richard Head threw powder but blinded Vincent by mistake, leading to #14 hitting a cross-bodyblock off the top for the victory. Post-match Vincent and Head wanted to back out of the deal, but Big Bad Ben and Evil Jim delivered chokeslams on Head and Vincent and the two got their "flowing locks" altered shortly thereafter...

 

OuTtKaSt & Jynx d. DINGO & Mick Danger(w/ Sindy) in a wild TLC match that went all over the building; the fall finally occurred when KaSt delivered a huge senton from the top of the tallest ladder in the building to put DINGO through a table!

 

Jimmy Charisma was scheduled to face Nightstar, but Nightstar was not there. Charisma issued an open challenge, saying that anyone who would face him would have to be "drunk as an Indian"...and he got Jeremy Lightfoot. Lightfoot put an end to Charisma's recent winning streak by pinning him after a Lightfoot Driver(Kryptonite Krunch version), then adding a sitout powerbomb post-match for fun.

 

Chaz Wesson(w/ Coach Chuck Farley) d. Kory Twist in a best-of-three-falls match to become the TWO-TIME GCW Heavyweight Champion! Chaz won fall one with the Pedigree, Kory won fall two with the Fate Factor.

 

The two kept exchanging moves, not able to put the other one down...finally, Chaz dropped Kory to the mat with a superplex off the top turnbuckle, leaving both men down and out! The referee started his ten-count and Chaz barely made it back to his feet before ten...and Twist barely DIDN'T make it back up! Twist was counted down and Chaz won the final fall, becoming GCW Heavyweight Champion once again! The two shook hands post-match in a show of respect!

[Guest PowerPB13]

Well, as Moonie informed me, the GCW shows for next weekend are off(Memorial Day weekend stuff), so I might take in a Lethal Wrestling Alliance show since they run not too far from where I live...we shall see.

[thuganomics 0]

Are there any GCW fans in here willing to help me create the company's wrestlers for EWR?

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

As in their stats and finishers and stuff?

 

I did a while back but I probably overexaggerated the stats on most of them because I'm biased

 

In the roster update that I last got, there are about a dozen GCW wrestlers on the EWR game now.

[thuganomics 0]

Yeah, I'm talking about their stat information. I'd love to see it, even if it is somewhat over inflated. I'm trying to fill out the promotion for my EWR update and getting information on the individual workers is next to impossible. Could you e-mail your data to me if I PM-ed you my e-mail address?

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

I completely forgot about doing this. I'll piece together what I've got here in a minute.

 

But as I said, a lot of the stats are maybe ..um... generous.....and it's not so much a current roster as it is a roster of the main people in the 4 year history of the company.But I'll notate who's not there now.

[thuganomics 0]

Awesome. Much appreciated.

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

Did you want referees and stuff like that too? cause I forgot about that part. Let me know if you need anything else relating to the wrestlers as well.
