Both are young and small in stature but certainly know what they’re doing in the ring. The crowd was into it. 2) Mike Jackson pinned SCW US Jr. Heavyweight Champion the Ultimate Dragon to win the title with a swinging neckbreaker at 10:37 - Jackson was probably the oldest talent on the show and doesn’t have an impressive physique but his workrate was amazing. He wrestled as a cruiserweight and did an Undertaker rope walk around the entire length of the ring which made my jaw drop. Really impressive performance. As far as the finish, apparently the neckbreaker is a popular way to end things. - It’s announced that SCW will return to Lenoir May 6th with Jake Roberts vs. the Honkytonk Man headlining. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express and the Midnight Express are also signed to appear. - CEO Rob and SCW Women’s Champion Tracy Brooks come out, trash talk Jake and Honky, and plug an upcoming card in Myrtle Beach featuring America’s Most Wanted against the New Age Outlaws and Jeff Jarrett vs. the SCW Heavyweight Champion. 3) Krazy K pinned Dexter Poindexter at 12:47 with a slam out of the corner and putting both feet on the ropes for leverage - Perhaps the smartest worked comedy match I’ve ever seen. At one point K is knocked to the floor and Dexter checks around the various corners looking for him. K sneaks back in and charges but Dexter casually walks to the other corner to look for K on the floor and K smashes into the corner face-first. They did that spot twice and it really got over with the fans. 4) SCW Women’s Champion Tracy Brooks (w/ CEO Rob) pinned Amber O’Neal at 9:08 with a roll up after the challenger tried to get at Rob on the ring apron 5) Ricky Morton defeated Demolition Ax via disqualification at 5:47 when Ax struck the referee - Ax came out to his WWF theme music but I don’t think he did nearly enough to get the gimmick over. I was waiting for him to pummel Morton with both hands and then stick his tongue out at the fans in the Demolition style but it wasn’t to be. Poor match. The crowd was into it, as all Carolina audiences are when Morton is involved. 6) Rick Steiner pinned SCW Heavyweight Champion Greg Valentine to win the title at 9:35 with a roll up as Valentine played to the fans - Steiner was super over with the crowd and really sold a leg injury after being locked in the figure-4 to the point where I didn’t think he would be winning the belt. - At this point, “The Crying Wrestling Fan” Dave Wills is introduced as the guest ring announcer for the final two bouts. 7) The Midnight Express (w/ CEO Rob) defeated the Powers of Pain (w/ the Fabulous Playboy) at 9:49 when Dennis Condrey pinned the Barbarian with a roll up after Barbarian accidentally hit himself in the head with a steel chair - So the boss is heel earlier in the show – and later in the show – but is babyface here? Okay. Match wasn’t bad but would have been stronger if the MX were still capable of going off the top. Late in the bout, one of the ringside photographers took a nasty bump as Rob – pretending to be Jim Cornette – chased Playboy around ringside with a tennis racquet. 8) Dusty Rhodes (w/ Elektra) defeated Jerry Lawler (w/ Renee) via disqualification at 11:22 when CEO Rob and the Midnight Express attacked Rhodes as Tracy Brooks held Elektra back from making the save - Rhodes was initially booed while Lawler, the novelty act, received the cheers. To fix that, Lawler cut a great in-ring promo on both Dusty and Ric Flair to turn the crowd against him. Rhodes and Lawler did everything they could to keep heat on the match while at the same time not hooking up. There were maybe 3-4 minutes of actual wrestling. After the match ended, Lawler was shoved off by Dennis Condrey. Lawler attempted to fight off the MX but was beaten down as well until Ricky Morton came out to clear the ring. Moments later, Lawler and Rhodes made up and Lawler said the next time he was in North Carolina he would be happy to team with Rhodes and Morton against the Midnight Express. Enjoyable show and worth the $15 price tag. I would say the venue was 75% full. And, as usual, the North Carolina crowd popped for everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hasbeen Report post Posted March 6, 2006 Brad Thomas is a good young talent. Pretty sure he's about 23, hopefully he can stay pretty much injury free and maybe he can be in the X division of TNA one of these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
