Edward King was on hand as our master of ceremonies to welcome us to the
show. King expressed his thanks to the Wildkat fans for their support over the
last 6 years. He then introduced the new Wildkat Heavyweight champ, ‘Wildcard’ J
Spade. Before Spade could speak the fans began chanting, “You deserve it!”
Spade again thanked the fans for their support. He listed off his I Quit
Match with Danny Flamingo and his submission and iron man matches with Matt
Lancie as instances where they had been behind him. He was looking forward to
his first title defense. He then asked that Edward King introduce him as the
Wildkat Heavyweight Champ once more.
The celebration was stopped short by the music of Bruiser, Spade’s opponent
for the night. Bruiser said he wanted to personally congratulate Spade. He
pointed out that he himself is a 7 time MCW Heavyweight Champ. and warned Spade
not to underestimate him. He then extended his hand as a sign of respect. and
raised the hand of the champion. While Spade’s guard was down Bruiser leveled
Spade with a slap and commenced to pummel him. A t-bone suplex knocked the wind
from the champion and Bruiser stretched him out on the mat. Taking back to the
mic Buiser said, “I told you, punk. Don’t underestimate me!” as the fans
chanted, “You suck! You suck!”
Spade walked to the back under his own power, though smarting, to the
adoration of the fans.
Blk Jeez v ‘Mythian Warrior’ Anthony
Before the match started Anthony flexed at Blk Jeez (formerly known as
Sabian) from ringside with a young fan who had been jawing with Jeez.
Our match started out with some incredibly smooth chain wrestling; an
exchange that soon saw Jeez roll to the outside requesting a time out as fans
jeered him. Back inside Jeez was unable to make anything stick against his
opponent and took some punishment in the form of a headscissor takedown and a
slingshot elbow.
Anthony kept up the pace until a well placed kick stopped him in his tracks.
Blk Jeez kept the upper hand for a bit by bending the rules in between doling
out his own more legal forms of punishment. Jeez went to the top rope calling
for something big, but was stopped by the uppercut of Anthony who then
superplexed him off of the turnbuckle. Anthony’s newfound momentum wouldn’t
carry him long however, as Blk Jeez nailed him with a sick German suplex for a 2
count followed by a flatliner. Back on the top rope Jeez flew across the length
of the ring for a frog splash. Still he was only able to get a 2 count. A woozy
Anthony landed a desperation superkick, but was unable to finish the deed. Jeez
was caught by the official trying to use the rope for leverage during a pinfall,
which allowed Anthony to get back to his feet to roll up Jeez for a 3 count.
Winner: ‘Mythian Warrior’ Anthony
This was a great way to start off the show. Highly entertaining with solid
work from our wrestlers.
Anthony is a true pro in all of his matches and it’s always refreshing to see
talented wrestlers like Blk Jeez make their debut in front of a new crowd.
Black Wall Street (Drolix and Marcellus Prime) v ‘Chalmation
Sensation’ Danny Flamingo and Sam Houston
Houston and Drolix started us off. Drolix seemed hesitant to engage so
Houston tagged in Flamingo. Drolix out-quicked Danny to begin with but soon
found out why Flamingo is a former Revolution Champion falling victim to some
dropkicks and arm drags. This prompted Drolix to retreat to the safety of his
corner and tag in Marcellus Prime. The much larger Prime was impossible for
Flamingo to overpower and Danny found himself being pummeled by the mountainous
Black Wall Street member.
Houston tagged in and started putting his veteran experience to work,
attacking the knee of Prime. Drolix tagged in to try his luck against the
legend, but found himself in the same predicament as Prime. Black Wall Street
was able to stop the assault of Houston following a double team, and the two
began to pummel the vet taking every shortcut they could to keep the ball on
their side of the court.
At this point the match began to resemble a street fight as a fired up
Flamingo re-entered the fray. A DRS jawbreaker dazed Prime, but the referee was
distracted by Drolix and didn’t count the pin. This allowed Prime to get back to
his feet and nearly put Danny through the ring with a press spinebuster. Prime
dumped Houston outside unceremoniously and was soon sent to the floor himself by
a Rocky and Carlo’s Special (bicycle kick) from Flamingo Our former Revolution
champ then landed on all three men at ringside with a death defying crossbody
from the apron! The steet fight like nature of the match continued at ringside
and both teams were then counted out to a draw. Not to worry as our combatants
weren’t finished beating on each other. The two teams were then separated by
security as Houston jawed with the official over not counting the pinfall
earlier.
Winner: Draw
Rest assured this is not over. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of
this rivalry. This contest had a feeling that it was personal, thanks in no
small part to the brand of fury only Danny Flamingo can bring to a match.
‘Ruthless’ Ryan Davidson v ‘The Situ-Asian’ Bu Ku Dao
For years, this rivalry has been building up from the beginnings of a rolling
boil to a volcanic eruption.
The two started in on each other before the bell rang and laid in some hard
shots. An early Wasabi attempt by Dao ended up landing him on the receiving end
of a thunderous slam. After that Davidson began inflicting a textbook beating on
the ‘Situ-Asian’. Dao refused to quit and fired back with some quick elbows, but
couldn’t fully swing momentum back in his favor. Still Davidson was unable to
break the indomitable will of the former Wildkat Heavyweight Champ as Bu Ku
would not stay down for a three count or give up while being stretched. An
expertly placed DDT from Dao left both competitors on the mat trying to shake
out the cobwebs.
Dao showed that he has learned his lesson from battling much larger men by
attacking with some lightning quick offense in the form of strikes and a
facebuster, but a successful Wasabi attempt could not keep Davidson down for the
three. Dao then wrapped up Davidson in The General Tso-Mission who was able to
reverse the hold into a pinning attempt. Dao slipped the pin and held Davidson’s
shoulders to the mat with a crucifix pin for the three count.
Winner: ‘The Situ-Asian’ Bu Ku Dao
After the bell rang, Davidson was enraged. He set to work dismantling Dao
finishing up with a fisherman buster. After the referee pleaded with him,
Davidson finally took his leave so that Doa could collect himself and walk to
the back.
Both Davidson and Doa have highly entertaining personalities and always put
on a great show in the ring. Putting them together is a sure winner. The fire
and intensity that they’ve been bringing to this feud is a nice new take as
well.
‘The Equal Opportunity Ass Kicker’ Ruby Raze issues an open
challenge…
Raze took to the ring ready to call out anyone in the back who would dare try
and best her. Before she could speak we were all surprised to hear the intro
music of ‘The King of Dong Style’ Joey Ryan!
Ryan strutted out to the ring with his patented swagger while the Wildkat
fans lost their minds. If they had had rose petals in their possession they
would have been tossing them at his feet. Ryan asked who wanted his lollipop,
then placed his sucker in the mouth of one ‘lucky’ fan wearing an Ultimate
Warrior t shirt.
At the start of the contest Joey Ryan stuck out his pelvis and exclaimed,
“Touch my penis!” A YP Plex seemed imminent, but Raze refused. He grabbed her
arm in an arm lock and tried to force contact, but Raze escaped and began laying
in right hands.
The fight then rolled outside and that’s when things got serious. The two
began choking and striking each other to great effect right before the front row
fans with Ruby Raze coming out on top of the exchange. Much to her chagrin she
soon fell victim to a YP Plex, but Ryan was only able to get a 2 count! A Boob
Plex later and Raze was reeling.
Ryan produced a second lollipop from his tights and the fans went ballistic.
He placed it in her mouth for Sweet Tooth Music, but still only got a 2 count!
The fans were now fully behind Raze who used her newfound momentum wisely.
Punishing Ryan with a series of suplexes and slams she then felled him with a
rope-hung brainbuster for the 3 count!
Your Winner: ‘The Equal Opportunity Ass Kicker’ Ruby Raze
Short, sweet and wall-to-wall entertaining. Yes please! Raze was the perfect
opponent for Joey Ryan’s first showing in a Wildkat ring. A match handed down by
the wrestling gods themselves. I’d love to see Ryan return to take on more
members of the Wildkat roster in the future.
‘Wildcard’ J Spade(c) v Bruiser for the Wildkat Heavyweight
Championship
After taking an eternity to engage, Bruiser had both the fans and the
champion riled up. He used that anger to his advantage and smacked Spade with
some cheap shots. Spurred on by the fans, Spade fired back and the two engaged
in a back and forth full-contact sparring session both in and out of the ring.
Once back inside Bruiser ducked a diving crossbody by Spade, but only picked up
a 2 count.
Stretching, stomping and pummeling the new champion, Bruiser was cutting a
path to victory with each passing moment. When the referee found himself
distracted by Bruiser’s valet, the challenger took the opportunity to choke out
Spade with a piece of his athletic tape. Taking every opportunity to break the
rules, it was clear Bruiser had no intention of competing in a fair fight. The
battered champion refused to give in, but couldn’t build a head of steam against
his first challenger.
Bruiser found himself on the losing end of an exchange of right hands and
Spade followed up with a tornado DDT and a diving crossbody for a controversial
2 count. After having words with the referee over the count Spade fell victim to
a t bone suplex also for a 2 count. A discus forearm to a bewildered Bruiser
later and J Spade was able to pick up the pinfall victory!
Winner: ‘Wildcard’ J Spade
Exciting and high energy. The perfect first defence for Spade. Spade is a
true athlete and is proving himself to be a deserving champion. I’ve also
enjoyed Bruiser at the last two Wildkat shows and hope to see him more in the
future.
Kojak Sly w/ Hardbody Harper v Krazy With a K
The mammoth Sly stalked Krazy from across the ring like prey. Kojak proved
impervious to all of Krazy’s attacks who took an incredible bump in the form of
a fall away slam when trying for a diving crossbody.
After nearly decapitating Krazy with a lariat, Sly lifted his lifeless body
overhead for a vicious facebuster finally putting him out of his misery via 3
count.
Winner: Kojak Sly
Kojak Sly is definitely becoming more and more of that monster in the ring he
was meant to be.
Ken Dixon(c) v Socorro w/Hardbody Harper and Kojak Sly
Socorro immediately marched out to the ring after Kojak Sly’s victory and
Harper proclaimed that they would not be waiting for the main event for
Socorro’s Revolution title rematch. He demanded that Ken Dixon make his way to
the ring and the Revolution Champion was happy to oblige.
It was clear early on that this was personal as the two began slugging and
wrenching away with some hellish blows and holds. Socorro quickly resorted to
pulling the beard of Dixon. Sly and Harper proved invaluable at ringside. After
Socorro missed a Splash of Soco, Dixon sent him to the outside so that he
himself could recover from the assaults of Sly and Harper.
Once Socorro was back inside, Dixon began bending the rules in his own way,
fighting fire with fire. The vicious slugfest that this match had become got out
of hand as the referee was leveled in the whirlwind of their melee.
Unable to count the three after a belly to back suplex from Socorro. Sly took
the opportunity to aid Socorro in leveling Dixon, but the champion was back to
his feet before long to deliver an avalanche ace crusher to Socorro. He was only
able to pick up the two count though and following some shenanigans from Sly and
Harper, Socorro was finally able to hit the Splash of Soco and pick up the 3
count.
Winner: Socorro
A good high paced contest with plenty of action and story. If I had to sum
this up in one word, it would be, “intense.”
Pump Patrol (Curt Matthews, Jared Wayne and Johnny Flex) v ‘Southern
Stomper’ Luke Hawx and ‘Outlaw’ Matt Lancie
Matthews and Lancie started us off, and Pump Patrol quickly took to using
underhanded tactics to get ahead. Having had enough, Luke tagged in. Soon all
out chaos had erupted in the ring orchestrated by Pump Patrol, but Lancie was
quick to level Wayne and Flex. After sending Matthews to the outside to join his
teammates, Hawx and Lancie started mocking Pump Patrol by doing pushups and
squats.
Always having something to prove against Hawx, Flex tagged in and engaged.
Hawx was quick to overpower him and set in with his patented back breakers,
getting in 5 of them before Flex escaped. A fired up Flex then escaped a press
slam and sent Hawx to the outside with a dropkick.
Once both were back inside Lancie and Matthews tagged in and took the fight
to the outside. As they beat on each other, Jared Wayne hit them both with a
rolling senton from the apron! Hawx tried to dismantle Johnny Flex, but the
quick and sly Flex was able to catch him on the middle rope for a powerbomb! A
Pumple’s Elbow on Lancie got them a 2 count. Hawx tagged in to deal with Wayne,
but the two wrestled to a stalemate. Lancie came back in hot and destroyed
Matthews’ ribs with a spear! Wayne intervened and in the confusion Flex
mistakenly hit Wayne in the eyes with a handful of protein powder.
Lancie and Hawx took Wayne apart with a combination powerbomb to blockbuster
double team! The three count was just the cherry on top.
Winners: ‘Southern Stomper’ Luke Hawx and ‘Outlaw’ Matt Lancie.
This match has been building since X-Rated 3 back in June. All five of these
guys always give more than 100% in the ring and it’s a real treat seeing them
all in there at the same time. As a fan following the story it was also nice to
see Pump Patrol get their comeuppance.
Revolution Rumble
Each year Wildkat puts on a unique rumble match at their anniversary event.
Two combatants start off in the ring and the rest the entrants fill in
one-by-one at regular intervals until all 15 have made their way in. Competitors
are eliminated when they are thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the
floor, as with regular battle royal rules. However, when only two wrestlers are
left the match is restarted as a singles one-fall-to-a-finish contest. The
winner is then granted a shot at the coveted Wildkat Revolution title at the
following show.
The entry order for the match was as follows.
- Drolix
- Jace Valor w/ The Mobile Home Mafia (Herc ‘ZZ’ LaBouef and Bubba Boudreaux)
- Mr. Bates w/ Nathan Bradley
- ‘Mr. Excellence’ Brandon Scott
- Marcellus Prime
- Johnny Flex
- Scott Phoenix
- Edgrin Stone
- Joey Ryan
- Jared Wayne
- ‘Chalmation Sensation’ Danny Flamingo
- ‘The Situ-Asian’ Bu Ku Dao
- ‘Money’ Mike Carradine
- Blk Jeez
- Kojak Sly
Marcellus Prime was eliminated by Edgrin Stone. Mr. Bates suffered the same
fate by Stone’s hand. Jared Wayne was then eliminated followed by Drolix. Scott
Phoenix was eliminated by Edgrin Stone. Stone was having a career day!
Bu Ku Dao was eliminated via YP Plex from Joey Ryan. Danny Flamingo was
eliminated by Johnny Flex. Joey Ryan was then eliminated. Mike Carradine was
eliminated by Kojak Sly.
At this point Edgrin Stone and Kojak Sly stood toe-to-toe. Stone drew Sly off
balance and eliminated him. Johnny Flex then sneakily eliminated Blk Jeez.
Our final four were Jace Valor, Johnny Flex, Edgrin Stone and Brandon
Scott.
Johnny Flex used his cunning to stay in it, nailing Edgrin Stone with a drive
by dive from the top rope and Brandon Scott with a sunset flip. As Stone tried
to eliminate Flex, they were both dumped outside by Scott and Valor.
We were down to just Jace Valor and Brandon Scott. At this point the match
was restarted as a one one one contest.
The two went at each other with a fury I had never seen from either of them
before. Brandon Scott took over initially as the MHM tried to coach Valor from
ringside. When Scott missed a diving fist drop Valor tried to take advantage,
but was unable to match Scott’s pace.
Jace answered a discuss elbow with an overhead kick to get the ball of
momentum rolling down hill for him for the first time in the match. Scott used
his lightning quick reflexes and technical prowess to escape and the two engaged
in a series of pin attempts. Soon after Valor found himself on top of the
exchange and got the 3 count!
Winner: Jace Valor
This Revolution Rumble did a good job of shaping some of the newer Wildkat
talents. I’m not sure of the numbers but I wouldn’t doubt that Edgrin Stone set
the record for most eliminations in a single Rumble, and Johnny Flex’s bag of
tricks gets more and more versatile with every show.
