Edward King was on hand as our master of ceremonies to welcome us to the show
and get the crowd pumped up.
“Money” Mike Carradine vs.“Mythian Warrior” Anthony
Anthony immediately had Carradine running to the ropes, and made sure he
stayed there. In fact, every time it looked like Anthony was getting the better
of him, Carradine ran to the safety of the ropes. A fed up Anthony finally
delivered a cracking kick to the posterior of Carradine when he exposed his
backside once more.
Anthony certainly had Carradine outclassed, but Carradine was able to catch a
kick from “The Mythian Warrior” and send him to the mat for some stomps.
Carradine kept up the punishment with an all new brand of brutality we as yet
had not seen from him. Ever the athlete, Anthony attacked back with skill and
speed. Carradine tried to take him off his game by spitting in Anthony’s face.
This only managed to send Anthony into a rage. He let loose a series of chops
and finished Carradine off with a knee to the back of the head, putting him to
the canvas for a 3 count!
Winner: “Mythian Warrior” Anthony
Great way to start the show on a high note. These two whipped the crowd into
a fervor right off the bat.
Socorro w/ The House of Harper vs. Hyperstreak
Socorro took to the mic and announced that he had something to say to, ”Each
and every one of you idiots!” He demanded that the crowd stand and Kojak Sly
told the crowd to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Hardbody Harper. The crowd rained
down boos as Socorro serenaded his manger. Luckily for them he was stopped short
by Hyperstreak’s music
A cheap shot from Socorro caught Hyperstreak off guard as he was making his
entrance, but that didn’t stop Hyperstreak from pinballing around the ring as
only he can do. Socorro couldn’t keep up with Hyperstreak’s speed and was soon
against the ropes. A bit of foul play from Kojak Sly turned the tide and left
Hyperstreak lame on the outside.
Socorro laid in a clubbing at ringside as Harper cheered him on; then lent a
hand by holding Hyperstreak’s feet while Socorro delivered a heel to the face.
Socorro continued to make use of his solo underhanded tactics inside the ring,
and the House of Harper wasn’t too shy to lend a hand from ringside either.
Hyperstreak tried as best he could to overcome the unfavorable odds. Slipping
every blow he could and getting in a few of his own while he was at it. A
missile dropkick from Hyperstreak evened things up, leaving both men prone. Back
at their feet Hyperstreak took over with clotheslines. He then laid out Harper
and sent Socorro into Kojak via a diversion. Looking for an equalizer he sent
them both to the hard floor with a rolling senton from the top rope to the
outside! The crowd was at their feet.
Shenanigans from Harper prevented Hyperstreak from getting the three count
and Sly did the final deed needed to get Socorro a pinfall via Twist of Lime
(pumphandle suplex).
Winner: Socorro
This was a fun one that, while showing how innovative the House of Harper can
be in getting their way, still allowed both men to showcase their skills.
“Ruthless” Ryan Davidson vs. El Saiko Gato
After his last Wildkat match up against Bu Ku Dao, Ryan Davidson was looking
to hurt somebody. El Saiko Gato was just the unfortunate soul put in that
position.
It took Davidson a beat to get his hands on Saiko Gato, but when he did it
wasn’t pretty. Suplexes and strikes sent Gato end over end from one side of the
ring to the other. An enziguri created the separation Gato was looking for, but
it was all for naught. A mammoth-sized fisherman buster from Davidson put Gato
out for the three count, and Davidson arose from the mat with a surly
attitude.
Winner: “Ruthless” Ryan Davidson
As he was taking his time to gloat he was ambushed by Bu Ku Dao! Dao set in
with fiery intensity. Bu Ku only had a few moments to put a hurting on Davidson
before he himself was ambushed by Shane Taylor! The Notorious One nearly
decapitated Dao with a Murda Time Clothesline and a knockout punch!
“This is my show!” Taylor shouted as the Wildkat fans chanted, “Welcome
back!”
As El Saiko Gato helped Bu Ku to his feet, Davidson and Taylor ran back in
and demolished Gato! First with a brainbuster from Davidson then a second rope
splash from Taylor. The two raised their hands in unity and took off for the
locker room together.
Exciting. Absolutely exciting. Can’t wait to see where this goes.
Savannah Evans vs. Christi Jaymes
Jaymes promptly put Evans in a painful leg lock and held it on tight. Making
her way to the rope, Evans was able to escape and set in with incredibly
physical attack on the Brazilian. A dazzling rope-walk armdrag put Chritsi back
on top, but a thunderous powerbomb from the turnbuckle by Evans left them both
prone.
The two of them slugged it out as they climbed back to their feet and
continued beating the hell out of each other after they were both up. The action
was neck-and-neck until Evans let loose a fisherman suplex with a bridge to hold
Jaymes down for the pinfall victory.
Winner: Savannah Evans
The only word I can use to describe this matchup is, “Physical!” More of
that, please!
Pump Patrol (Curt Matthews, Jared Wayne and Johnny Flex) vs.
“Chalmation Sensation” Danny Flamingo and “Mr. Excellence” Brandon Scott vs.
Fortune 5000 (Mr. Bates and Nathan Bradley) vs. Scott Phoenix and Edgrin Stone
in a Fatal Four Way Tag Match
Matthews of Pump Patrol and Phoenix started us out. Matthews appealed to
Phoenix to join Pump Patrol which Phoenix declined. At his teammate’s insistence
Matthews tagged out to Johnny Flex.
Mr. Bates tagged in off of Flex and that’s the the action really started. He
struck away with anger. Having something to prove after The Revolution Rumble.
Phoenix leveled him with a press slam and soon Bradley and Flamingo found
themselves facing off. Flamingo went on the attack first, but as Bradley was
returning fire Edgrin Stone tagged in and dropped him with a huge back body
drop! Brandon Scott tagged in off of Stone and the punishment of Nathan Bradley
continued.
Jared Wayne mercifully tagged in off of Bradley and went to work on Scott. A
Pumple’s Elbow later and Pump Patrol to sequester Scott to their corner of the
ring. A DDT got “Mr. Excellence” the gasp of oxygen he needed and Flamingo
tagged in. At this moment all chaos erupted bringing all nine men in the ring at
once.
One by one they all fell to each other’s crushing blows as the fans went
ballistic. Pump Patrol was able to incorporate the insanity into their game plan
as they have been seen to do before. The three of them teamed up on the legal
Nathan Bradley and held him to the mat for a three count.
Winners: Pump Patrol
As the combatants were taking their leave a fist fight broke out between
Danny Flamingo and Mr. Bates leading to security separating the two.
An entertaining contest from start to finish. The antics, wrestling and crowd
work pulled me right in and wouldn’t let me go.
“Swipe Right” Joe Keys vs. “Southern Stomper” Luke Hawx
Before the Match, Hawx gripped Keys in a firm handshake as a show of
dominance then took him to the matt with a headlock takedown. The two measured
each other up with some chain wrestling, an exchange that saw Keys come out on
top.
Not to be outdown, Luke tattooed Keys’ flesh with some stiff shots to the
chest and face. Hawx kept Keys on his heels with suplexes, slams and a
neckbreaker until Keys was able to retaliate with some offense of his own. A
backstabber sent Hawx to the outside and Keys sent himself over the top with a
slingshot to knock the wind out of Hawx.
Before Keys could reap the benefits of his attack, Hawx was assaulted by a
man in a hoodie who ran up to ringside holding a pipe. The hood came off the
attacker’s head to reveal... Shane Douglas! Security lept in immediately and
threatened Douglas with a baton. Douglas submitted to police who handcuffed “The
Franchise” and took him away.
The locker room had emptied out by now and the Wildkat roster was chomping at
the bit to get their hands on the detained Douglas.
Edward King asked the audience to please remain calm and in their seats as
EMT’s tended to Hawx. Perry paced back and forth. After what seemed like an
eternity EMT’s were able to place Hawx on a gurney and take him away for medical
attention.
Winner: Luke Hawx via DQ
Edward King let the crowd know that this was, in fact, not part of the show.
He said the Shane Douglas had been arrested.
I was floored. Absolutely floored.
Would love to see Joe Keys return to a Wildkat ring in the near future.
King Beard vs. Kojak Sly w/House of Harper
King Beard tried to go head to head with Kojak Sly, a strategy that went very
badly for him. It was a major effort for Beard to stay conscious following a big
boot from Sly. A dazed King Beard then fell victim to a vicious clothesline from
Sly, putting him down for a 3 count in short order.
Winner: Kojak Sly
As Sly stood celebrating his victory, Edgrin Stone emerged from the locker
room to stare down Sly. The crowd chanted , “YES! YES YES!” while security
pleaded with Stone to turn back. Deciding to wait for a later time to deal with
Sly, Stone collected King Beard from the floor and carried him to the back.
Looking forward to seeing these two monsters go toe-to-toe
Ken Dixon(c) vs. “The Baton Rouge Bullet” Jace Valor w/Mobile Home
Mobsters for the Wildkat Revolution Championship
As the two felt each other out, it was clear that Dixon was physically
stronger. Valor clearly had to rethink his strategy and rolled to the outside in
order to confer with the MHM.
Back inside Valor met Dixon with a quickness that the champion could not
match. Soon it was Dixon’s turn to take a rest on the outside as the crowd
chanted, “Yep! Yep! Yep!” Valor invited Dixon back into the ring, a courtesy
that Dixon took advantage of when he sent Valor to the outside while he himself
was climbing back in.
Upon sliding back into the ring, Dixon was quick to send Valor outside once
more. This time it took Valor to the count of 8 to make it back in. Dixon kept
up the pressure with a slow methodical pace, careful not to overexert himself
against the challenger and perhaps he didn’t feel as if he needed to.
This approach would prove to be detrimental when Dixon was caught off guard
by an enziguri from Valor. The MHM member went on the attack and planted Dixon,
but only got a two count. “The Baton Rouge Bullet” took to the top rope for a
Swanton Bomb, but missed the attempt. Dixon grabbed up Valor as he rose to his
feet and dropped the challenger to the mat with a fireman carry slam. 3 seconds
later and Ken Dixon had his first successful Revolution Championship defense
under his belt.
Winner: Ken Dixon
This was nothing short of a good ol’ fashioned wrestling match, and I loved
every second of it. These guys did a great job of putting together and executing
a worthwhile championship contest.
“Outlaw” Matt Lancie v Hardcore Holly vs. Billy Gunn in a Triple
Threat Match
Before the match, Billy Gunn took to the microphone say, “If you’re not down
with Wildkat sports, we got two words for ya!”
After eyeing each other up, Billy Gunn proposed a three-way test of strength
to start things off. When he reached for Lancie’s hand he snuck in a cheap kick
to “The Outlaw’s” gut. Holly then jumped in on the action and the two of them
started double teaming the younger talent. Outside the ring Holly took out
Lancie by running “The Outlaw’s” head into the ringpost. Then two veterans
decided they should test their skills against one another as they had done years
ago. The two, grappled, grabbed and slugged away at each other; punctuating
their attacks with some playful boasting to the crowd.
An armdrag from Holly sent Gunn to the outside and Lancie took this as an
opportunity to send Gunn into the ringpost. Lancie slid back inside the ring to
take Holy to task, but Holly began laying in his patented chops. Out of nowhere
Lancie struck Hardcore Holly with a spear but could only get a two count.
Gunn came back in to put the boots to Lancie. Gunn literally had Lancie
against the ropes when The Outlaw ducked an attack and sent the New Age Outlaw
to the outside. Holly came back in and tried for an Alabama slam, but Billy
Gunn stopped the attempt and put Holly down with a Fameasser! Gunn made the
cover and picked up the three count before Lancie could break up the
pinfall.
Winner: Billy Gunn
I’d been looking forward to this match since it was announced. I knew these
three would beat the hell out of each other and they delivered. It’s always
great seeing Hardcore Holly scrap with Wildkat talent and adding Billy Gunn to
the mix took it to a new level. Throw in Matt Lancie and you’ve got yourself a
sure winner. Great job to everyone involved in bringing this to the Wildkat
fans.
“Wildcard” J Spade(c) v Stevie Richards in an Extreme Rules Match for
the Wildkat Heavyweight Championship
During his introduction Stevie Richards had Edward King introduce him as
being from, “The home of the number one seed in the NFC playoffs…” and stated
that he, “... thanked God every day that he isn’t Billy Gunn…”
Stevie Richards then had King read Richards’ own personal rendition of ‘The
Night Before Christmas’ which began, “Twas the night before Wildkat…” It went on
to say that, “The fans were all hanging from the bleachers with care hoping
Stevie Richards would soon be there…,” and that in J Spade’s dreams, “...
visions of Stevie Kicks danced in his head…” The poem concluded that, “January
6th begins the Winter of Stevie.”
Stevie attacked Spade from behind during the champ’s introduction, and an
eye-rake kept Spade off his game. Spade went back at him with equal intensity.
The fight went to the outside and the Spade took advantage of Extreme Rules by
ringing the ring bell against Richard’s nether regions. Spade then called to a
nearby fan who handed him an original NES console which he bludgeoned the back
of the challenger with! After getting in a couple shots of his own Richards
retaliated with the NES.
Spade took a brief leave behind the curtain and reemerged pushing a shopping
cart containing a trash can filled with weapons! Richards called for a chair
from the crowd…. which he used to sit in as he slapped a vice-like sleeper on
the champ. Spade escaped by with a low blow using a crutch followed by a drop
toe hold onto the open chair. The fight went outside and Spade placed Richards
in the cart he had wheeled out the garbage can in, ramming him into two ring
posts. He lit up Richards’’ back with a kendo stick , but a desperation Stevie
Kick sent the champion to the mat. Two malicious chair shots to the groin kept J
Spade down.
These two were using everything but the kitchen sink... that is until
Richards went under the ring and emerged with a kitchen sink!
Spade knocked the challenger down with a low blow before he could implement
the metal sink, and the two rose to their feet trading right hands. When it
looked like Spade was going to lose out on the exchange the champ slammed a
cookie sheet that was left on the mat against Richards’ forehead!
It was here that Spade turned it up to 11 when he grabbed a table from under
the ring. Spade tried to superplex Richards through the table but was stopped
short by the ECW alumn. Richards slipped out his predicament and Stevie Bombed
Spade through the table only for a 2 count!
At that moment “Bad Ass” Billy Gun ran in and dropped Stevie with a
Fameasser! It seemed as though he didn’t appreciate Richards’ comment about him
during the introductions. Gunn covered Stevie with the champion for the 3
count!
Winner: “Wildcard” J Spade
During the celebration Hardcore Holly emerged from the curtain, dismantled
Gunn and Alabama slammed Spade!
Holly grabbed a microphone and said, “In about 3 months I hope you guys are
ready for Wrestle Con. Get your affairs in order,” He pointed to Spade lying on
the mat, “I’m gonna end your career! Same goes for you, Billy!” He then turned
his attention to the prone Stevie Richards, “Stevie, you know what happened last
time you and I got together!”
This match wowed me and the rest of the fans from start to finish. Spade and
Richards took us all back to the days of ECW in perfect fashion. They really put
their bodies on the line out there in front of all of us fans, and that’s
something I truly respect.
It seems we already have our championship match for Wrestle Con on April, 5th
