This is the free show that was promoted at the last XOW show in Brookhaven.it was held at a local furniture store. I showed up about 1 1/2 hours early and ran into the old guy that believes that since Mid South folded wrestling has been fake. Ended up getting to talk to a few of the workers,and got them to autograph a poster from the last show. Checked the gimmick table and they had a dvd. All Pro Productions presents Wrestling at the Carthage Coliseum,Carthage MS Halloween Night 2009. It was only $5 so I picked it up. The front and back covers list,Cameron Valentine,The real deal Neil taylor,CJ Cash,JD Mckay,The Giant Hillbilly,NWA superstar Johnny Morton,Special Ed,and Nick Grymes. They were selling "autographed" pics of Stone Cold for $2. There was no chairs,unless you brought your own. So I was happy I had thrown a folding chair in the backseat of my car before I left home.
First match was Soultaker Grim VS Antino Salvadori. Antino was working a mafia gimmick and was the face. Soultaker Grim,Who it turns out owns the ring that was used,was doing a kinda heel undertaker/bikertaker gimmick. Grim riles up the crowd ,and after about 8 minutes of action hits Salvadori with a chokeslam to get the pin. The kids in front of me asked their dad if Soultaker Grim was Undertaker's and Kane's older brother.
Next up was Ron "Fat Hardy" Horn VS Faroh of Phunk. I had mentioned before the show to Horn that at the last show he reminded me of Adrian Street. He thanked me and said that he knows Adrian and how cool Adrian is. Faroh of Phunk is wearing a bandanna and a black shirt that on the back it has the naked lady from the 18 wheeler mudflaps and the word FAROH below it. Fairly quick paced match with Faroh doing lots of fast paced moves and Horn stalling and other classic southern heel tricks. After Horn has been stalling for a few minutes I yell "Hey FAT HARDY lock up already!". And the crowd starts to call him Fat Hardy. Horn ends up cheating the win, and this gets the crowd very rowdy.
Jesse Dalton VS Barry Wolf is up next. Barry Wolf is the guy that went by Dustin Wolf at the last show. Barry is also Mr 500 since he came in at 500 in this years PWI 500. Nice back and forth match that last for at least 10 minutes,before Ron Horn runs in and helps Dalton win. This causes the Faroh of Phunk to come out and challenge Dalton and Horn to a tag match later on in the show. After some heckling from a large woman in the crowd.who had about 4 teeth,Horn/Dalton finally accept. The promoter comes on the mic and tells us this will be the main event. Which is kinda weird cause the poster list Kamala VS Mitch "Snakeman" Teretta as the main event.
After the match the announcer tells up they are having a 50/50 raffle. You buy a ticket for a buck. And before the main event they will pick a winner. The winner gets half of the ticket sales money and gets to come out with one of the teams at the main event.
I look over to the door that is serving as the lockroom door,and see Snakeman coming out. He walks to the ring and then opens up his canvas bag and throws out his at least 7 foot long albino python. I am puzzled why the advertisted main event is happening as the 4th match of a promised 7 matches. Then some tribal music hits and out comes Kamala. Who looks like he is weighing in at 250 tops now. No Akbar or Kim Chee as his manager instead he has a guy,that I was told is training. Seems this guys name is Soul Train. He is a average height kinda chubby super pale white guy. The crowd kinda doesn't know how to react,since both guys are faces. Kamala refuses to get in the ring until the snake is put back in the bag. Finally they lock up,and Kamala throws Snakeman into the corner. After about 6 minutes of chops,and shoulderblocks from Kamala,Ron Horn hits the ring and causes a draw. I found this kinda weird. I figure it might be cause both guys are faces.
Time for intermission,so I walk back to the gimmick table and see they have sold out of the DVD I bought and have a new one for sale. All Pro Wrestling,Philadelphia MS Feb 20,2010. And it list a lineup of Jerry the King Lawler,Rob Horn aka Ron Horn,Neil The real deal Taylor,Anton Leveigh,Monty Warbucks,Hollywood Jimmy,Lord Humongons,and Mitch Teretta.I check the back and it has 6 matches listed. And buy it since it is $5. I go back and sit down and see that Dustin/Barry Wolf is at ringside and so I go up and talk to him. Turns out he had read my review of the last show. And then he offers to autograph my dvd,and I get a picture with him. A few minutes later the Faroh of Phunk comes out,I go to get a pic with him and he comments on how most of the audience is taller than him. Then Mitch Snakeman Teretta hits the ring. He is doing free autographs and taking pics with his snake in the ring for $5. I got get a pic taken. And he tells me he will have it printed up for me later in the show. Kamala comes out and is charging $5 for autographs. And the promoter is selling a program for $2 that has pics of most of the guys on the show,plus various other wrestlers that work in this area. I end up buying a poster of the event from a kid for $3 and after the show got a few of the guys to autograph it. I go talk to the announcer and he tells me he will give me the match listings after the show. So I spelled all the names as they were listed.
Finally intermission is over and John Thor comes out,but he sadly doesn't have his cane with him. Then "King of the Road" hits and The Giant Hillbilly comes out. The crowd goes fucking insane. Hillbilly seems to almost be more over than Kamala. They work almost the same match as the last time I saw them. But the crowd again gets really into it. Giant Hillbilly hits a giant splash in the corner and pins Thor for the 3 count.
Jay Blade is out next,and since he was one of the best workers on the last card I am excited. He is working heel again. Then the announcer tells us that The Nick Mason Experience is on his way to the ring. Nick it turns out is the skinny teenage kid I saw earlier putting the ring together. Fun cruiserweight style match.
Now it's time to see who wins the 50/50 raffle. Turns out to be some teenager. He goes and gets his half of the money. And it is time for the main event. Out first is Ron Horn and Jesse Dalton. They get heckled by the crowd and Barry Wolf and the Faroh of Phunk hit the ring. This was your classic southern style tag match. With Horn and Dalton cutting off the ring on Wolf. And cheating every time the ref is distracted. Wolf is like a modern day deep south indy Ricky Morton. His selling is getting the crowd all worked up. The woman with 3 teeth says something I can't make out,but it causes Horn to LOL for 3 or 4 minutes. Finally the Faroh gets the hot-tag. And he cleans house. Him and Wolf do a double roll-up and win the match. As soon as the match is over the crowd starts walking off. But Ron Horn gets on the mic and talks about how they just got a free wrestling show. And should at least go take a look inside the local furniture store that is sponsoring the show. Sadly most of the crowd ignores him. I go thank the promoter and the store owner for the show. And then got to talk to John Thor and Jay Blade for a few minutes. Overall it was a better show than the last one in town. And I am hoping the 2 DVDs I bought will also be just as fun.
