Wrestling Returns to the EC.... New Alhambra Arena in South Philadelphia!

Blood, sweat, and tears. These three words summarize the results of past wrestling events that have taken place at the “bingo hall” in South Philadelphia. June 24th was the day that the New Alhambra Arena lost the respect of true wrestling fans due to a mediocre show that did not live up to the reputation of the company. Ronnie Lang, head of Atlas Security, was also displeased by the event. In the best interest of the fans, Lang decided to debut a new organization that is dedicated to “hardcore” wrestling fans. This was the origin of Pro Wrestling Xplosion which debuted on Wednesday September 13. The show had a much talented roster, as well as special treat to the ringside fans. Rows 1-3 were allowed in a half an hour early for a special meet and greet session with the wrestlers on the card. Fans could get pictures and autographs with the likes of Abyss and “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels that would lead into the inaugural show by PWX.

A debut show comes with a fair share of bumps in the road, that the company will learn from. The ring was a tad bit shabby, but the roster of talent and quality of the show might have made up for that little problem. Brother Ray could even be heard saying how pitiful the ring was, but competitors such as him made the show that much more entertaining. The next show should bring a better ring, due to the impact the talent brought to the promotion.

The show kicked off in a big way with two TNA X- Division standouts. “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels came out to take on young Jay Lethal. This match was very impressive from both ends. The ropes were flimsy but both competitors made the best of what they had available to them. Lethal even did a plancha from the apron into the ring by holding onto two of the ropes for leverage. Lethal also has very impressive feet, and kept up with the veteran favorite Christopher Daniels. Daniels picked up the victory in this very intense and crowd pleasing opening bout.

That match was followed by a show stealing six man tag match between three young studs in the wrestling business. Three of which should be signed to either TNA or WWE by now. TNA’s “Original Playa from the Himilaya” Sonjay Dutt teamed up with CA Elliott and the very over Ruckus to take on new comer Altar Boy Luke and the fan favorite tag team of Jose and Joel Maximo, The SAT’s. The SAT’s were very impressive, and at a time when tag team divisions are in the toilet, they could fit right in either of the big companies. Ruckus is one of the most athletic, high flying competitors in the business. He would fit right in in TNA’s X- Division. Many risks were taken during this match, that were very crowd pleasing to the fans. CA Elliott and Alter Boy Luke should make more appearances in the PWX ring. The more experience they get, the more impressive they will be.

It was mystery match time next. Former TNA superstar Delirious ran around the ring, and went absolutely insane. His opponent was ROH standout Claudio Castagnoli. The fans fell in love with the crazy, absurd behavior of Delirious while many were bored with Claudio Castagnoli. Castagnoli is a very good technical wrestler who the fans will have to adjust to. He can have very good matches, and could carry a storyline for the company. The fans of Philadelphia need to know a little background on wrestlers, and Castagnoli got a bad rap getting thrown in there against Delirious. Both of these could become impact players if this company takes off.

A Chikara Six Man Tag Team Match was scheduled next. This match would have lucha libre rules, as it is a match based on the customs of Mexican wrestling. It was very entertaining and comical at times. Mike Quackenbash was very impressive as he led his teammates of Equinox and Shane Storm over Akuma, Ice Cream Jr., and Hydra. Hydra thought he had the build of a seven foot giant, while he had the body type of Screech from Saved by the Bell. Ice Cream Jr. was also entertaining. He had an ice cream cone sticking out the top of his mask, and just like Abyss gets his bag of tacks, Ice Cream gets his bag of sprinkles.

Abyss against Rhyno was scheduled next as these two monsters should bring the house down. BUT... out comes Team 3D... The Dudley Boyz. After a couple altercations with fans, and Brother Ray doing his catch phrases, Team 3D challenged “The War Machine” and “The Monster” to a tag team. A short lived match so the ending came when Abyss got gored by Rhyno into a table, who then turned around into 3D. Might have been the most over wrestlers in the building.

Davey Richards was unable to wrestle as scheduled due to an injury. Nicky Benz came out to bring a little bit of entertainment to the show. While trying to perform “New York,” Benz was attacked by Arik Cannon who was the special opponent for the fan favorite Chris Hero. Hero has one of the most deadliest chops in the business. A great worker, who is very over with the fans, Hero got the win over Cannon. Hero is another wrestler on this card that is very underrated and should have a contract either in WWE or TNA.

The Hardcore Rules Match was scheduled match. It was scheduled to be Ian Rotten vs. Mana vs. New Jack, but that is not the match that the fans received. Due to an altercation with a fan in the arena, New Jack was arrested and unable to compete. So, the match was turned into a mixed tag match between Ian Rotten and “Prime Time” Amy Lee against “The Polynesian Warrior” Mana and Mickie Knuckles. This match features chairs, staple guns, and a lot of blood. Not just from the men. Mickie Knuckles was bleeding as well, especially after a big dropkick to the face from Ian Rotten. Ian Rotten and Amy Lee picked up the win in a bloodbath.

“The Phenomenal” AJ Styles then came out to a huge ovation to take on one half of the NWA Tag Team Champion’s “Homicide.” These guys put on a good match, but nothing to the caliber of what these two can really put on. Homicide spent most of his time bickering with fans on the outside of the ring. The ending came from a modified sunset flip giving AJ Styles the victory.

Then, the Main Event of the evening. Eight years in the making came to this. “The King of Old School” Steve Corino (along with Jack Victory) was set to take on Teddy Hart (along with Ruckus.) The match started as Corino slapped Hart square in the face, bloodying the young member of the Hart family. As his mouth filled with blood, Hart spewed blood all over Corino’s face. The match went very well, and exceeded expectations. Hart was very impressive, and is another one added to the list. He used to compete in TNA but could be a huge money maker in either company. The match ended in controversy as the referee said Hart tapped, when he absolutely did not. Hart went absolutely nuts, challenging Corino to a fight in the parking lot and lots of screaming back in forth. Order was restored, and the show came to an end.

The kinks were worked out, and will be remembered as PWX prepares for their next show in the near future. The show was stacked, and if the talent returns, fans will be happy they came. Check www.pwxplosion.com for more news and information on up coming shows for the company.

Emotional Piper speaks out, will receive treatment

"I'll walk down that Raw ramp again, or I'll be dead."

Those were just a few of Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper's words on Monday afternoon during a phone conversation with WWE.com in which he repeatedly thanked the WWE fans.

Piper was sent home early from WWE’s early-November tour of the United Kingdom and hospitalized. While in the hospital, he underwent a four-hour surgery, where doctors removed a mass at the spinal cord with an enlarged lymph node. The mass was completely removed, but the lymph node was positive for lymphoma.

"This is the second time wrestling, and the wrestling fans have saved my life," said an emotional Piper. "When I was 15, it took me off the streets and kept me out of jail. This time, thanks to the WWE fans who voted me in for Cyber Sunday, I was able to find cancer."

Finding the cancer was just the first step in Piper's ordeal. On Thursday, the legend will begin receiving radiation for the low grade lymphoma, which will last for four weeks. Piper told WWE.com that on January 15, upon the completion of radiation treatment, he expects to walk out of the hospital with a clean bill of health.

Hope he gets well.

“The Good Guy” Azrieal vs. Aramis

The XFC graduate, Aramis comes out to a very warm welcome. However, Azrieal had a few words for Aramis, letting him know that he won’t be underestimating him this time, as he lost his last match against Aramis due to carelessness.

Both men immediately go after each other fast and furiously, with Azrieal eventually getting the upper hand early on. The self proclaimed “good guy” didn’t quite live up to his moniker as he frequently used the ropes against Aramis and took advantage of the ref’s 5 count on chokes and keeping Aramis tied up in the corner. At which point, the crowd quite vocally informed Azrieal that he sucked. Aramis took advantage of the crowd’s distractions and hit a big reverse suplex on Azrieal for a near fall. Aramis continued his assault on Azrieal with a series of lucha influenced pin attempts, but Azrieal was able to hit a flying knee to regain control. Azrieal put Aramis down with an electric chair drop and went to the top for a double stomp to the back of Aramis’ head, but Aramis dodged and rolled up Azrieal with a school boy pin for the three count. Aramis 2, Azrieal 0.

Winner: Aramis

Following the opening contest, Executive Vice President, Annie Social and CEO Tod Gordon made their way down to the ring to address the crowd. Tod expressed his displeasure with what happened last month, which brought out Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, The Insane Clown Posse. Shaggy lays out Annie with a clothesline and J puts the boots to Gordon and they began to paint their faces in clown makeup. Luckily, before that went on for too long, Corp. and AMIL rushed down to the ring and broke up the assault. While the ICP was stopped for the time being, they declared that it’s not over and they’ll see them in the main event.

PWU Big Man Battle Royal featuring: Sinister X, Kwame, “The Complete” Pete Hunter, Daemon Slugga, Gemini, and Big Slam.

Everyone immediately goes after Big Slam and he is eliminated right off the bat. The giants then turn their attention to the remaining entrants from there. The Krash Krew, Kwame and Gemini took advantage of their tag experience and worked over the others as a team, and threw out Sinister X. At this point, the Krew began dominating the remaining combatants, and brutalizing everyone in sight. However, their union was short lived as Gemini got rid of both Slugga and Kwame. While Gemini was admiring his handiwork, XFC Standout, Pete Hunter, came from behind and tossed out Gemini to become the winner of the PWU Big Man Battle Royal.

Winner: “The Complete” Pete Hunter

“Primetime” Teddy Fine and Drew Blood aka “The Bosom Buddies” vs. The O’Doyles.

Teddy tried getting cute with KJ in the beginning, but wound up eating a huge press slam due to his antics. This leads to CJ and Drew going at each other, with Drew out-wrestling CJ and the buddies taking over via some rather dynamic tag offense. However, it was the O’Doyles, who eventually overcame the buddies with their overpowering tag team efforts, defeating Teddy with a flipping neck breaker combo.

Winner: The O’Doyles

After the match, CJ said he wanted to beat up some JCW Juggalos, and Big Chuck Wagon (JCW) answered the challenge. The O’Doyles began to double team Chuck Wagon, gaining a brief advantage, but the mammoth Chuck soon regained control. Luckily for the O’Doyles, they were able to stop the onslaught and pin Chuck with a cross body / dropkick combo. Chuck wasn’t alone for long though, as his fellow JCW compatriot, Dyson Pryce (JCW) stormed the ring and the Juggalos destroyed the O’Doyles, whipping up the JCW fans into a celebratory frenzy.

“2006 Pitbull/Public Enemy Tag Tournament Winners” A.M.I.L. vs. “The Rottweilers” Joker and Ricky Reyes for the trophy.

The Rottwielers immediately go after A.M.I.L. like their namesake, and hold nothing back. Unfortunately, for Joker and Reyes, Money wound up soon showing them why they hold the trophy and begin to use their speed and agility to work over The Rottwielers. Each team’s advantage didn’t last as it was truly a back and forth match with each impressive team taking turns both dealing out and suffering punishment. Joker and Reyes each took turns working over the leg of Pusha and definitely took the spring out of his step. Joker’s high angle back drop driver almost took the life of Murda, prompting the crowd to chant “Why’d you do that?!” It was all down hill from there for Money, as the Rottwielers never let up on them, chewing them apart, with Reyes eventually making Murda submit to the Dragon Sleeper. The Rottwielers first act as new holders of the Pitbull/Public Enemy Trophy was to obliterate it with Reyes’ shotgun like kicks, destroying if entirely.

Winner and new holders of the Pitbull/Public Enemy Tag Team Tournament Trophy, “The Rottwielers”

“Richie Rich” Bryer Wellington (JCW) vs. “The REAL Pitbull” Gary Wolf (PWU)

Gary immediately began beating the snot out of Bryer’s personal man servant who escorted him down to ringside. But he was stopped by an onslaught onto Bryer Wellington. That didn’t last long though, as the Pitbull quickly regained control. Every time Gary gained the advantage, the smarmy Wellington would make his presence known again. Ultimately, it was Mr. Wellington’s interfering man servant that cost him dearly, as a mistimed attempt to double team Gary Wolf caused Wellington to be pile-driven through the announcer’s table and then threw him into the ring, pinning him, 1-2-3.

Winner: “The REAL Pitbull” Gary Wolfe (PWU)

PWU Women’s Champion, Mercedes Martinez vs. Detox - Loser leaves PWU for 120 days. No DQ, There Must Be a Winner.

Detox, dressed as a referee, jumped Mercedes from behind and started right in on Martinez. The match quickly spilled into the crowd though, as Mercedes tore into Detox with a chair and began to beat Detox all throughout the arena. Once back in the ring, Mercedes laid into Detox with a series of impressive suplexes and power moves. Detox bailed and grabbed two chairs and attempted to hit Martinez with one off the top rope, but Mercedes countered with a chair to the face and a backdrop driver for a two count. Mercedes then proceeds to deliver an amazing top rope twisting fisherman’s buster for the win. All of the women in PWU join Mercedes in the ring to celebrate with her. Amy Lee wasn’t there with good intent though as she laid out Mercedes the Women’s title and cleared the others from the ring, and drilling Martinez with a steel chair. With Mercedes laid out, Amy challenges her to face a real woman and then introduces her man, Ian Rotten.

PWU World Champion Devon Moore vs. Ian Rotten w/ Amy Lee and the Mad Doctor

Ian informs the crowd that he is tired of all the hardcore, and that the fans of “Filth”-adelphia don’t deserve what he can offer as “The Undisputed King of HARDCORE” and that he is going to out-wrestle Devon Moore and become the new PWU Champion.

Devon makes his way out to the ring through the crowd to a huge ovation and let’s Ian know who’s the hometown boy, not to mention, the champion. Both men lock up, exchanging holds, with Ian surprisingly getting the better of Moore. Rotten then proceeds to put on a proverbial wrestling clinic, handling Devon with ease. Ian continues to work nearly every limb on Moore’s body, attempting to break him down early on in the match. Devon gets a chance to display some of his wrestling prowess, but the experienced ring general, Ian, counters and regains control. Ian then proceeds to do what he does best, and beat on Devon without mercy. Rotten unleashes standing somersault sentons, twisting frog slashes, a massive bear hug, and brutal cross-face strikes to pummel Devon into the mat. Ian is relentless and delivers a series of head butts to Moore, busting him open, and dropkicks Devon in the corner nearly taking his face off. Ian moves in to deliver the killing blow, but never down and out, Devon Moore proves why he is the champion and manages to reverse Ian into a pinning maneuver and successfully retaining his championship.

Winner and still champion: Devon Moore

PWU Hardcore Champion, Corporal Robinson and The Backseat Boyz (PWU) vs. The Insane Clown Posse and 2 Tuff Tony (JCW)

Team JCW comes out to a huge reaction from the Juggalos in the house and after making their presence known, Shaggy 2 Dope informs the crowd that he tore his ACL recently and that he wasn’t going to risk anything for PWU, and announces his replacement in the match to be… Dyson Pryce! Kashmere and Acid come out and Johnny tells ICP that they may have their big boy, Dyson Pryce… but PWU has their big boy… Corporal Robinson, and out comes the man… Coporal Robinson!

The match begins and we have absolute 6 man tag madness. Team JCW and Team PWU are at each other’s throat and are hungry for blood. Each company’s fans are screaming their support for their respective favorites as all six men brawl into the stands and around the arena. There are suplexes onto the concrete, thunderous chair shots, trash cans and more. It really is total war. Corp. busts out with a table and sets it up, then moving on to assault Team JCW with anything he can find. 2 Tuff then sets up a table as Shaggy chokes Trent with his crutch. Tony hits Kashmere with the teabag driver and then lays him out on the table. Tony off the top to the outside with a corkscrew splash onto Kashmere through the table! Out comes Tod Gordon and is kicking Shaggy’s ass, and cuffing him to the guard rail. Corp and Pryce in the ring with the table, Corp off the top with a leg drop through the table! Everyone is down but Tony and he heads in after Corp. Corp locks in his camel clutch finisher, The Bootcamp, bitch!!! Tony taps!!! The lights go out… It’s RAVEN!!! And he’s wearing a JCW jersey!!! Evenflow DDT on Corp.!!! Raven begins to run down Tod but Tod isn’t having it and tears into Raven and pops him right in the mouth. Raven goes after Gordon but the entire PWU locker room empties out and clears the ring, sending Team JCW to the back running. Gordon gets on the mic and says next month, no excuses… Steel Cage, WAR GAMES STYLE!!!


Some great things about this show :

ICP introduce Raven + Joker as a Rottweiler ... Wow!

[snotsnit]

I've never really figured out JCW.

[Heath Scumm]

Actually, they are pretty good as a wrestling promotion ... anyway, they're much better than CZW's first shows but they are still a backyard to cult fed!

They had some good shows, especially that TNA vs JCW show at a juggalo gathering 2 years ago (I think :thinkso: ) ...

[snotsnit]

It sounds interesting but I hate the ICP.

[Heath Scumm]

And why is that? They're decent wrestlers, got good gimmicks and look, their fed has some of the best hardcore Indy Wrestlers ... I loved them during their WCW days (they were may favourite wrestling tag-team) and I still like them a lot ...

[snotsnit]

I just do
