Powerslam Productions December Double Shot Part 2

Left the house pretty early. Mainly cause both of us wanted to eat  before the show. Made it to the Pike County Little Theater around 6pm. Hung out in front of the theater for about 45 minutes before the doors opened. Got inside and went to check out the gimmick table. It was loaded with a nice selection of WWE dvds,Shoot interviews and 2 PSP dvds.

Headed into the arena area to get our seats. Had 3 seats reserved on the front row. Thanks again Reggie. Ended up talking to Philip and his buddy for awhile about various stuff in the various MS indy feds. Hooked Philip up with a DVD that had the final Mid South tv show and the first UWF tv show. At about 7:15pm Collin called me and said he had just made it. He came in and we posed by the ring for a picture.

At 7:30pm Brent came out to start the show. Tonight's show is an 8 man tournament to determine who the number 1 contender is for the Powerslam World title.

Match 1
EMT
VS
Wes Adams

Wes being the local guy was a crowd favorite. He quickly took control of the match and did lots of chain wrestling.

EMT made a comeback and kept trying to get Wes to tap out.

Wes got out of the hold. And hit a sweet looking DDT. He made EMT tap out. So Wes is heading to round 2 of the tournament.

Match 2
Joe Kane the Prince of Pain
VS
Sgt Sorocco

Joe came out first. And most of the crowd booed him. But I cheered him. Cause of how much I enjoyed his match last show. Then Sgt Sorocco came out and the crowd went wild.

They quickly locked up in the middle of the ring.

Some really well done back and forth work. With both guys trading holds and stiff shots.

Joe got Sorocco in a nice looking Walls of Jericho.

Joe got the pin and continues on to the second round.

Match 3
Calvin Rose with Hardbody Harper
VS
Reggie Matthews

Calvin Rose came out with his manager Hardbody Harper. Harper yelled at the crowd. And all the kids booed him. Then Reggie Matthews came out and got a loud pop.

Both guys circled the ring sizing each other up.

Reggie and Calvin traded some nice stiff blows. And then Calvin got Reggie in a bow and arrow submission hold.

The crowd rallied behind Reggie and he fought he way out of the hold. Reggie hit a great forearm,which I called a fivearm ala Terry Taylor in UWF. He goes for the pin but Hardbody Harper interferes.

 

This gets the crowd to start making fat and bald jokes about Harper. He tells the crowd he is a good Catholic. So I say he will have a lot to say in confession tomorrow. Harper and Rose distract the ref and Kool Jay Steele hits the ring and waylays Reggie. Rose gets the pin. And after the match Steele attacks Matthews again. So Rose goes on to round two.

Match 4
Lukas Frost with Hardbody Harper
VS
Stud "Studamania" Matthews

Lukas came out first and got some boos. But also some cheers. I cheered him cause of how much I enjoyed his match at the last show. But since he had Harper with him I made sure to heckle Harper. Started calling Harper "Gutberg". Stud came out and the crowd loves his Hoganesque gimmick. He has all the mannerism down.

Stud and Lukas size each other up.

Then Stud challenges Frost to a test of strength. The crowd starts a "TEST OF STRENGTH" chant.

Matthews wins the test and goes and poses on the turnbuckle.

Lukas makes a  sweet comeback and goes for a pin.

But Matthews kicks out.But Frost quickly whips him into the corner.

Then Lukas starts to choke Stud on the top rope.

Stud gets thrown to the outside and Harper starts beating him down.

Frost goes to the outside and brawls with Matthews. And the ref counts both of them out. So the match is ruled a double countout. But they both end up back in the ring. Stud "Studs UP!" Hits Lukas with the legdrop and leaves Frost laying in the ring.

After this Stud goes out in the audience and thumb wrestles with all the kids. We are informed that now Calvin Rose is getting a bye into the third round.

Match 5
Joe Kane the Prince of Pain
VS
Wes Adams

This is the only match of round two of the tournament. We start off with a nice amount of chain wrestling. With both guys showing that they have great skills.

Then Joe ends up taking about 5 blows to the balls.

The match goes back and forth between the two guys. And the crowd is loving it. But Wes catches Kane with a great looking DDT and gets the pin. But before Wes could celebrate his victory he is blindsided by Calvin Rose.

Wes looks to be injured. And all the other faces hit the ring. Reggie comes over to the corner and gives the camera man the "X". Wes is helped to the back by the other faces and intermission starts.

We all go out to grab a drink,hit the bathroom and check out the gimmick table. I grabbed two Powerslam Production dvds. And a Wes Adams shoot. My buddy Blake grabs a PSP dvd and a still sealed 3 dvd WWE Hulk Hogan set. And Collin grabs a PSP dvd. I see Reggie and go over to talk to him. Hooking him up with some Mid South/UWF dvds.

After a short while intermission ends and the promoter hits the ring.He informs us that Wes has a concussion and will not be able to compete in the final match. So he calls out Calvin Rose and is about to declare him the number 1 contender. But Sgt Sorocco comes out and says Wes can compete. Wes comes out and all the other faces try to keep him from entering the ring. The promoter talks to Wes and says it is against his better judgement. But he will let Wes face Calvin for the final match.

We get a fun match. With Calvin doing some stiff as shit punches to Wes's head. Wes makes a few comebacks. But some guy in a bad 80s hair metal band wig comes in and Pearl Harbors Wes.

This allows Calvin Rose to get the pin. So at the next show Calvin Rose gets a shot against Luke Hawx for the PSP world title.
After the show,I hang out and talk to Reggie some more. And after that the three of us head out to Arbys to grab something to eat. We end up sitting there for over and hour bullshitting about wrestling,music and how wacky a place the Craphole wrestling forum is. Finally Collin has to head back to New Orleans. So Blake and I get in the truck and head back to Brookhaven. Like the last PSP show I went to this was more than worth the $8 ticket price. All the matches were fun. And it was great to see moves you never see on WWE or TNA shows. Plus the crowd was hot the entire night. It was a nice mix of kids and so called "smarts". Thanks to all the guys at Powerslam Productions and the Pike County Little Theater for a fun night.
