SWF Lockdown HOLT report

April 13, 2005

Denver, Colorado, at Pepsi Center

Report by Kirk Schultz of Denver, Colorado, Smartmarks.com reader

 

Dark Match:

 

- Martin Hunt beat Cutthroat with Sweet Southern Comfort.

 

Grand Slam Tapings:

 

- Alan Clark beat JT Playa in 1:56 with the Aftershock.

 

- They showed highlights of Storm where JJ Johnson was introduced into Revolution Zero. They then showed a video on the SmarkTron of all the different members of R-0, and presumably, the announcers were talking about all the change that R-0 has gone through in the past few months.

 

- Ebony and Chance Silver ended in a no-contest when John Duran came down to the ring and annihilated both of them with a steel chair.

 

- Dace Night beat Perfect Bo in 7:20 with a Northern Lights Suplex.

 

- There was a second highlights package shown from Storm, where Jay Hawke turned on Johnny Dangerous in the “2-on-2” match. Afterwards, they showed some clips from recent weeks where there have appeared to be tension between Wild and Dangerous.

 

- Toxxic beat Mak Francis in 14:09 in a non-title match with Intoxxication.

 

 

Lockdown:

 

- Nazeer got a hold of a microphone after the match and was all over Austin Sly as Sly was trying to return to the back, calling him incompetent and him for costing Koran the match. He continued berating him until Sly went back into the ring and started throttling him, but Koran came to Nazeer’s aid, nailing Sly from behind, and knocking him down. Koran and Nazeer then left the ring before Sly could mount a comeback.

 

- We don’t get many “Gangstas” around here, but I like Buck’s energy. He got the crowd behind him, which isn’t easy to do in a place as “white bread” as Denver. That Buck-Wild Ride is sick, too, although I think that Dub Cee should sue for copyright infringement.

 

- Funyon came down to the ring and announced that, due to a stomach virus, Todd Cortez was unable to compete tonight, and that the match between Johnny Dangerous and Todd Cortez had been cancelled. Johnny came down to the ring and said that he didn’t want to disappoint his fans by not competing in the ring, issuing an open challenge to anyone backstage who wanted to face him. Much to the surprise of many, John Duran came down to the ring! Duran, still hyped up from his beatdown at the Grand Slam tapings, started off great against Johnny, but the Barracuda was able to turn it around, and knocked Duran out of the ring with a Johnny Kick! Instead of getting back in the ring, Duran just went to the back, giving Johnny a count-out win.

 

- Ejiro got a much bigger round of applause after the match than I would have expected; it looks like some of the fans are starting to come around; of course, I’ve been an Ejiro mark for a long time, so I’ve got a nice seat on the bandwagon.

I get #3 heat without actually being on the show. That's what you call hatred. And please note that Rev-0 tops the heat list!

 

Nice one Dub-Cee, and not just for that. It's kind of amusing to watch all the jobbers and retirees beating each other up in dark matches.

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

Well, when there are only five heels booked for the show, and three of them are in R-0, and the other two are in a tag match, it's kind of hard not to have R-0 monopolize the "heat" list...

Ebony's continued presence after my retirement will never cease to amuse me.

 

*considers for the billionth time using her as an active wrestler*

No gangstas in Denver? Didn't you see that one South Park where Jimmy and Timmy went to Denver to get the Bloods and the Crips to get along?

 

Yay for pop-age.

 

Course, if he goes against a face, I presume Buck would get heat.

 

That's what he gets for being all tweenery, though.

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

South Park? Uh, no; can't say that I have.

[Angel_Grace_Blue 0]

But come on, Denver is a big city. What big city in the US doesn't have some form of gang activity?

 

Salt Lake City, maybe. But Utah, as Raynor will concur, does not count.

[Secret Agent 0]

Raynor's a Mormon!?

[Angel_Grace_Blue 0]

No, but he's going to some college in Utah.
