From Rob Brodhecker;
Welcome to the Doghouse -- PCW’s Tag Team Season continues with a tag team gauntlet
match. Lamar Diggs will confront PCW Champion Brian Blaze over the series of
attacks that Blaze has orchestrated against Diggs. Duncan Mitchell will go
after ERC’s Dealer’s Choice Championship in a Dog Collar match and The House of
ButcHer looks to continue to wreck havoc across PCW.
I counted the crowd at the What A Deal building right at 60, plus 10 from last month.
David Manders and Alan Angels were in attendance.
Johnny Danger will be doing the live commentary. Darryl Hall,
Paul E., and Jynyffyr Wynn will do your referees
Nick Halen vs. Rob Killjoy
Some nice technical
wrestling starts the match, Killjoy’s controlling most of it. Halen gets
frustrated and starts throwing punches and kicks. Najasism and Cedric Tyrell
are ringside scouting Halen for Match 5 of the Best of 7 series between Halen
and Naja. Killjoy hot shots himself after Halen ducks a flying Killjoy. Halen
lands the top rope elbow for a near fall. Halen bails out of the ring for
Killjoy’s comeback. Halen kicks out of a stupendous combo from Killjoy. Halen
goes for the three amigos, gets the third one blocked. Killjoy gets a DVD for a
near fall. Halen catches Killjoy in the throat and hits the spinning DDT from
the second rope to get the victory at 10:56.
Thoughts: Some good shit here, imo. Halen and Killjoy set
the tone for the rest of the night.
TFS (Rosario
Grillo and Hunter Knott) vs. The Pizza Express (Caleb Teninty and Parker Lee)
TSF attack before
the bell, PE reverse it and they fight for a moment on the floor with a couple
of fans chopping the chest of TSF. Heel tactics from TSF put the heat on
Teninty. Hot tag to Lee and he runs wild and gets a near fall off of a delayed
suplex. PE have a miscommunication and Lee takes the TSF double team and the
pin at 7:58. TSF get points for the tag team season.
Thoughts: A decent enough match, it did feel it could
have gone longer, but with time restrictions, possibly had to be trimmed down.
I would like to see more viciousness out of TSF, though. Grillo has a mouth on
him that makes him a natural heel.
Eric Adamz vs. Zero
Adamz asks for the
mic and he lists some of the personal hardships he has been going through since
the beginning of the year and says that he will be having an exhibition match
with Zero. He puts over Zero with whom he helped train at APCW. The speed and
youth of Zero vs the strength and experience of Adamz. Adamz appears to be
overcome with emotion during the match, and hugs Zero. Adamz says that he
doesn’t have it in him anymore. Adamz wants to have a prayer session. Adamz starts
a pray in the ring with Zero, asking for protection of Zero from injury, and
sneaky old bastards like him. He kicks Zero in the nards. Ref Wynn still had
her head down in prayer and didn’t see it. Adamz pins Zero at 6:26.
Thoughts: That was some whackadoodle, old school
deviousness served up by Adamz there.
Matt Hankins comes
out and mentioned the Sports Illustrated article from a couple of weeks ago, and
how the locker room tonight was a bunch blue-eyed, pasty skinned, white guys. Hankins
announces a gauntlet match with a 3 minute time limit for each match. Hankins
brings out a special guest time keeper: PCW Champion Brian Blaze. Blaze has
full authority to deal with the time limits as he sees fit. Wins will count for
Season points
Tag Team Gauntlet match
This is going
to be fun keeping track of this. “Ripper” Trey Sean and Alpha vs. Hunter James
and Luka Daniels start. Daniels and James are fresh off of their SFCW debut in a
loss to the Bullets. Shaw and Alpha win at 1:29. Kat Spencer and Quattro Cabeza
are the next team out. Spencer slaps the taste out of Alpha’s mouth. Cabeza
leads Shaw in a dance, Shaw takes his head off. Alpha tries to interfere,
Spencer spears him out of the ring. Spencer/Cabeza win at 1:56. Jacob Ryan and
Hyena Hera are next out. Spencer drags Ryan over for Hyena Hera to tag in and
Spencer pins her at 1:35. Hawk Thomas and Agonyst are out next. Cabeza gets
pinned at 1:45. Next out is Josh Breezy and Warden. Thomas and Warden are some
big boys and they throw some hay bales. Breezy and Warden win at 1:56. Eddie
Honcho and Crystal Rose are next out. Breezy and Warden attack them on entry. Rose gets the heat, taking some big moves. Honcho
sneaks in and helps Rose get the pin at 1:25. Breezy and Warden destroy them after
the match. The next team out tries to take advantage of the situation but Rose
and Honcho weather it. Honcho pins them at 1:02. KC Rocker and Alex Kytel are
next. Rose pins Kytel at :43. Zach Mosley and Pepperbottom attack from behind.
Rose almost schoolboys Mosley. Rose taking more punishment. Hankins comes out
and says to Blaze to let them go pass the 3-minute limit. Rose sends EY into
each other and gets the tag to Honcho. He runs wild but there is a blind tag
and chaos reigns. Honcho pins Pepperbottom at 5:21. Edible Rose wins the White Boy
(Johnny Danger’s words) invitational gauntlet match and 4 tag team season
points.
Brian Blaze sneaks in and slams a chair into the back of
Honcho. Blaze was upset that he didn’t get to hit anyone. Lamar Diggs comes out
on a crutch and chases Blaze out of the ring. Digg wants Blaze on Friday the 13th,
no chairs, no crutches. Blaze says maybe and walks to the back. Hankins comes
out and says yes, the match will happen.
Thoughts: Holy crap, there was a lot going on. I even
forgot to get the names for one team. Most of the teams were out of The
Nightmare Factory.
Intermission.
Najasism with Cedric Terell vs. Mikey
Naja’s on the mic. He takes a selfie with a fan ringside.
This is an open challenge. Eric Adamz joins Johnny Danger on commentary. Mikey
answers the challenge, he’s an eccentric looking character, hair all wild and
he’s staggering around the walkway and ring. His mustache is called Big Ted. Wrestling
abounds in the early going. Don’t know
much about Mikey, but I’m impressed with his skill set. Naja’s speed is
offsetting the strength of Mikey. Mikey’s quirkiness plays in with getting heat
on Naja. A spinning back kick creates some separation. A slingshot 360 match
gets a near fall for Naja. A strike fest begins and ends in a powerbomb from
Mikey for a near fall. Mikey breaks out a fisherman’s DDT for a near fall. Naja
gets the pin at 13:58.
Thoughts: Tremendous match in hot and humid conditions. I
didn’t know anything about Mikey, but he and Naja killed it.
Dealer’s Choice Championship Dog Collar Match: Duncan
Mitchell vs. ERC(c)
Adamz warns Danger that he needs to be unbiased on
commentary for this match. There have been 2 previous dog collar matches in PCW
history. Fists are flying right off the bell and the action hits the building
floor. That is not clean water on the floor. ERC sends Mitchell’s head into the
ring post and Mitchell is busted open. ERC is pounding away at the head of
Mitchell with the chain. Mitchell reverses and pounds away on ERC. Mitchell
hits ERC right between the eyes with a chain wrapped fist. ERC spine busters
Mitchell and uses the chain in Mitchell’s mouth. Mitchell counters a cutter
with one of his own and almost gets the win. ERC gets gut buster in for a near
fall. Mitchell pulls ERC off the turnbuckle into a blue thunder bomb for the
win at 9:11. New Dealers choice champion, Duncan Mitchell.
Thoughts: Appropriately violent, even if Mitchell’s
blood spot was kinda obvious. They laid the emotions out in the ring.
ERC attacks Mitchell
after the match, throwing Wynn to the mat doing so. ERC is hanging Mitchell
over the top rope with the collar still around Mitchell’s neck. Hankins is
yelling at ERC to turn him loose. Irving West and Ripley come out, to help
break things up, but they get attacked by ButcHer, Vanderbilt and Rose. Johnny Danger
runs into the ring and drags ERC off of Mitchell. Hankins tells ButcHer to get
into the ring. Hankins runs a promo up ButcHer’s back. Hankins gave ButcHer a
place to paint and didn’t ask questions. Hankins wants to dance tonight, not on
the next show. ButcHer declines to dance tonight and says that ButcHer will see
Hankins on the 13th. Hankins then sends the crowd home happy.
Final Thoughts:
The overall quality of the show keeps improving, show
over show.
There will be a chart at some point with everyone’s tag
season points on it.
Hankins isn’t a wrestler. What sort of stipulations can
Hankins bring to the dance?
Mikey is known as Mikey BMOC on social media. He’s doing
the drives across the country.
Backups occur.
I can’t believe that I forgot to get the names of a tag
team. Bad Rob!
It was good to see Alan out and about.
A quote from Spaceballs comes to mind here: "Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
I believe that Jagged Edge was in the first two PCW dog
collar matches. I could be wrong.
