SWF Sunday Night Frost and HOLT report

April 24, 2005

San Antonio, Texas, at Alamodome

Report by Shawn Castillo of San Antonio, Texas, Smartmarks.com reader \

 

 

Frost:

 

- The Memphis Eel beat Cutthroat in 2:59 with a piledriver. Afterwards, the Eel hijacked Funyon’s microphone and started to pimp the new line of Frost-brand™ merchandise, until Dominic Korgath ran down to the ring to chase him away.

 

- The first video package talked about the short but intense rivalry between Archie Griffon and Mohammed Koran. Afterwards, Kevin Cole interviewed Mohammed Koran, who talked about how furious he was with being forced to degrade himself by competing in a bar. Koran then contradicted himself, saying that the bar was a fitting place for this match to take place, because when it was all over, he was going to leave Griffon lying on his back with the rest of the filth.

 

- Judge William Hearford and Fugue beat Déjà Vu in 6:31, when they put Kross in the Figure 7.

 

- John Duran beat Chance Silver in a Street Fight in 9:27, after hitting Blunt Force Trauma on the concrete floor.

 

- The second video package showed the surprising return of Ejiro Fasaki, and the difficulties that he’s had trying to reform from being a heel. Ben Hardy asked him what it’s been like for him since his return, and Fasaki said that it’s been uncomfortable in the locker room, since the guys that he used to hang out with don’t want anything to do with him, and the guys whom he used to fight against don’t want anything to do with him. Hardy asked him why he’s had such a difficult time adjusting and Ejiro said that it’s been rough trying to resist the urge to take the cheap way out; that he’d been doing it for so long that it had become second nature to him.

 

Hardy then acknowledged the rumors that Ejiro had someone behind the scenes who was encouraging him to stay on the straight and narrow path, and asked Ejiro if he was ever going to reveal to the fans whom that person was. Ejiro made a face, and said that person was here with him tonight, and that, against his better judgment, that person was going to come down to the ring with him tonight. Hardy asked him if he had any expectations for his match tonight, and Fasaki just said that Cortez was a tough opponent, the toughest he’s faced since his return, and he didn’t know whether he could beat him without cheating, but that he was going to give it his best shot.

 

- Ann Onita beat Austin Sly in 7:19 with the Hollowpoint Driver.

 

- Stryke beat Michael Craven in 5:44, when he managed to roll through a Superplex.

 

- The final video package featured the first four matches between Johnny Dangerous and Landon Maddix. Afterwards, Bobby Riley interviewed Johnny Dangerous, talking about his recently aggressive attitude in the ring. Johnny dismissed it, saying that he’s just doing what he feels he has to do to get noticed by the Championship Committee, that he’s tried to be the nice guy for months, and that all it’s gotten him is the opportunity to watch a parade of other wrestlers get shots at the Heavyweight Title. Riley asked him if that meant that he had turned his back on his fans, and Johnny said no; he said that his real fans understand where he’s coming from, and that they support him doing whatever it takes to get another title shot, even if it means ‘bending the rules slightly.’

 

Riley then asked him what that meant for his partnership with Wildchild, who is a confirmed “goody two-shoes.” Johnny said that there’s no problem between Wild and Dangerous, that the team is as strong as it ever was. He said that he respected Wildchild’s desire to fight cleanly, and that he would never do anything in a tag match that he wasn’t comfortable with. Riley asked him if Wildchild was comfortable with his actions during the Tag Title defense against Martial Law, but Johnny quickly changed the subject to his match tonight; he said that he’s starting to get bored with beating Landon Maddix, and that after he beats Maddix tonight, he won’t be getting another title shot.

 

- Danny Williams and Dace Night beat Jamie Drazon and Perfect Bo when Williams and Night planted Bo with a double-powerbomb.

 

 

Battleground:

 

- Archie Griffon came down to ringside after the Hawke/Manson match to celebrate his victory, since he didn’t really get a proper celebration from the bar. Manson woke up and was about to leave ringside, but Archie asked him to stay and share a few beers with him.

 

- After Janus left the ring, Funyon announced that Spike Jenkins match had been cancelled due to a family emergency, and they had an untelevised match in its place, which saw Aecas and Alan Clark beat Martin Hunt and the Masked Man, when Aecas hit Hunt with Wings of Fire at 5:41. Afterwards, Clark got on the microphone and told everyone that Aecas was going to have a birthday this week, and that they should all sing Happy Birthday to him before he went back to Japan. He then led the crowd into a rousing rendition of ‘Happy Birthday.’

 

- After the Hardcore Title match, Funyon asked the fans to recognize SWF Legend and Hall-of-Famer El Luchadore Magnifico. The crowd gave him a three-minute standing ovation, as well as a sustained “E-L-M” chant.

 

- Funyon got into the ring after the International Title match, and announced that the paid attendance for Battleground was 48,822, the largest non-football crowd ever in the Alamodome, and promised that the SWF would return to San Antonio in the near future.

And when, might I ask, did anyone play football in the Alamodome? All I can remember going on there sports wise is Spurs games.

 

 

 

On a side note...NUMBA FIVE HEAT! SWEETNESS!

 

 

*runs around singing a merry tune*

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

They play college games there all the time.

[JHawk 0]

Is it just me, or do I always end up third in heel heat when I'm booked for a show?

 

Not complaining, but I think so.

[Toxxic 0]

Hey, at least you're consistent.

[muzz 0]

So people were giving WC and Mak a FOUR minute standing ovation?

[Toxxic 0]

Nah, ELM sustains it better. WC and Mak give you a bigger instant hit, but they blow their load quickly.

 

Or I guess they got support throughout their entire matches. That works too.

[muzz 0]

I think if you stretched out a 3 minute standing ovation, it would be comparable if not greater.

 

Plus ELM should automatically be 1st, but I better stop before Tom yells at me again.

[Toxxic 0]

I could deal with ELM being number one in face pops. Although I'd query why he's in the country, since at his Genesis IV apperance I'm sure he was back in Mexico due to immigration or something.

 

...Jesus. I AM obsessed, aren't I? Either that or I'm actually Cyclone Comet in disguise...

[Secret Agent 0]

...Jesus. I AM obsessed, aren't I? Either that or I'm actually Cyclone Comet in disguise...

I fucking new it!

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

Muzz, you're making way too much out of this...

[TheBostonStrangler 0]

Well, I think we need to bust out an equation:

 

Base Points = 50

Legend = 10 points

Match on card = 5 points

Standing O = 29.392 points

Winning pop = 12 points

"Let's Go ____" chant = 3.29(x) points (where x is equal to the numbers of DDT's in the match)

Fact that this is the HOLT report = subtract all points and let WC have his fun

 

Final tallies:

 

ELM: 42

Mak: 42

Wildchild: 42

 

Well....guess I should have seen that coming.

[Toxxic 0]

Equations suck. I'm with Muzz here. ELM definitely got more votes, and should therefore be the ruling party as a result of proportional representation.

 

...oh wait, sorry, it's not the General Election yet.

[muzz 0]

I really hope you know I was fooling around, otherwise you're fucking morons.

[TheBostonStrangler 0]

I'm aware. I still feel my equation (which I take quite seriously, thank you) is certainly the way to go.
