Carolina Championship Wrestling Results (4/9/05)

Recommended Posts

Carolina Championship Wrestling

Lenoir, NC

Mulberry Recreation Center

April 9, 2005

 

The show began with the singing of the National Anthem by a young female local. I think she was nervous because more than a few words were left out.

 

The Fabulous Mr. Franklin came out and put a $10,000 bounty on Dusty Rhodes for the attack he sustained the previous month at the hands of Rhodes and Mick Foley.

 

Tommy Gunn pinned Jason Jones at 4:13 with a powerbomb. Gunn came out to AC/DC while Jones had Velvet Revolver as his theme music.

 

Chief Jay Eagle & Brad Tomahawk defeated Jason King & Mike Lee at 9:45 when Tomahawk pinned King with a sunset flip after Eagle prevented Lee from blocking the move

 

Brad Anderson pinned Bobby Fulton at 12:18 with a boot to the mid section and a roll up. Prior to the bout, Fulton – who came out to ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man” and formerly one half of the Fantastics – cut a heel promo on the crowd. Anderson brought out a pair of his dad’s boots (Gene Anderson), which hung from one of the ring posts for the duration of the match.

 

George South Jr. (sub. for George South) defeated the Masked Superstar via disqualification at 8:01 when Superstar pulled the referee in front of South; the match was surprisingly rough for South as he was thrown out of the ring, into the scaffold, and had both a garbage can and steel chair used on him

 

Kid Kash pinned CW Anderson with a tornado DDT at around the 14-minute mark; definitely the match of the night; at one point, Anderson slammed Kash’s arm against the post on the floor, then threw a steel chair into the arm; both men impressed, Anderson with a delayed superplex and Kash with a hurricanrana over the top to the floor

 

Terry Funk then came out with a copy of Dusty Rhodes’ book and ran down the fact that Dusty rated Hogan, Foley, Flair, Lawler, and Dusty himself as the top five wrestlers of all time. Funk ran down each man – calling Hogan an egomaniac, Foley a word I had never heard before (and am not sure it’s a real word), Flair a banana nose, Lawler a baby banger, and Dusty an egg sucking dog. He then called Dusty out, with the crowd very pro-Funk. Funk eventually sends the ring announcer to the back to find Dusty but he eventually returns, claiming he couldn’t find him.

 

Before intermission, it was announced that Jim Cornette would be with the Midnight Express for the return to Lenoir on May 21st.

 

Brad Attitude & Krissy Vaine defeated Kevin Matthews & Amber O’Neil at 10:20 when Attitude pinned Matthews with a corkscrew crossbody off the top after O’Neil hit a low blow on her partner, followed by a double flatliner by Vaine & O’Neil

 

NWA World Champion Jeff 'Unover' Jarrett pinned Dusty Rhodes at 9:42 after Terry Funk interfered and hit the challenger with a copy of his own book, moments after Jarrett raked the eyes of guest referee Jimmy Valiant; after the bout, Funk grabbed the microphone and insulted Rhodes as he continued to beat on him; the crowd was, again, pro-Funk; Funk eventually started beating up referees, threw a chair, and even punched promoter Tony Hunter

 

It was then announced that Flair vs. Funk would headline the next CCW event in Gaffney, SC on May 7th.

 

The Midnight Express (Condrey & Eaton) defeated the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express in a scaffold match at 4:18 when Condrey knocked Morton off after stomping his hands while Morton hung from the scaffold; both teams came out to their original theme music; Morton became busted open early on the floor and later sustained a face full of powder after he climbed the scaffold; after the bout, Morton sustained a chair to the knee by Condrey before Kid Kash made the save

 

- The crowd was hot for every match and segment. Before the show and during intermission guys like the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, Jimmy Valiant, Masked Superstar, Team Blondage, Dusty Rhodes, Terry Funk, and Jeff 'Unover' Jarrett were available for autographs and pictures. Overall, a lot of fun and well worth the $15 ticket.

Sounds like a pretty good show. I know I would like to see Terry Funk, Jeff 'Unover' Jarrett, Dusty Rhodes, and The Rock N' Roll Express live even though I am not a really big fan of any of those guys. I'd pay the $15 to see them just because they are big names in the wrestling business, and to see them for only $15 would be great too.

One thing I forgot to mention was that there was plenty of merchandise at the show. Figures, magazines, tapes, books, etc.

 

I spent $25 to get Funk to autograph his book (the book was $25, the autograph was free) so the only thing I could afford afterwards was a copy of Meltzer's Tributes which only ran $5 (cover price is $20).

 

... Oh, and I had Terry write, "To Graham - You egg suckin dog" :D

David 'unover' Flair? :lol:

My mistake.

 

Note to self: Don't write show recaps when you're on the verge of passing out.

 

It's going to be Rhodes vs. Funk.

I believe it is pretty far in the Western part of the state, between Asheville and Charlotte. If I didn't live all the way on the other side of the state my friend and I were talking about going. This makes the second time in about three or four weeks that Jeff Jarrett has been booked in North Carolina, so hopefully this is a sign that our independent wrestling scene will start picking up.

God bless Terry Funk.
