Powerslam Productions Winter Warfare 01/18/2014

Friday night Reggie had asked if Dragon and I could be at the show around 6pm. Around 4pm Dragon arrived at my home.



I jokingly asked him where he got the BJ and the Bear hat from. But since he is young he had no idea what I was talking about. We left 30 minutes later. And made it to the Pike County Little Theater around 5:30pm. The doors were not open so we ran to a general store to grab snacks and a drink.

By the time we got back doors were open. We head in grab out tickets and see Reggie has 3 front row seats waiting on us. There was already a big crowd.About 10 minutes before the show started Damien showed up.



Brent came out to get the show started. He is now the commissioner of Powerslam.


Match 1-Princess Kristen Morel vs Mr. Sakitume



Kristen was out first and cut a nice promo.



Mr Sakitume came out. And we started heckling him. I asked him why he stole Blue Panther's mask.


What I loved is there was so much matwork in this match. I know Kristen hasn't been wrestling very long. But she was great. She made her way to the top rope.

Then came off it and locked Mr Sakitume in a sleeperhold.

Finally after a hard fought match Princess Kristen won.

Match 2-Outlaw Matt Lancie with Big Ramp vs Wildcard J.Spade


This was Wildcard's first match in Powerslam.

I love that Perry,Luke Hawx's son,is a ref now. Wildcard put up a great fight. But he couldn't overcome the team of Big Ramp and Lancie. I was damn impressed with Wildcard. And he had the crowd behind him the entire match. As always Lancie was great. He has this intense stiff style that so reminds me of old southern style heels.

Lancie got the win.

Match 3-Socorro vs Danny Flamingo

Socorro is the former Sgt Socorro. He is now out of the army. And has changed his look. He now has a mowhawk like Juice from Sons of Anarchy. Danny is new. But looked so much like Danny Doring of ECW fame. He came out first. And was handing Brett his sunglasses.I yelled out "Hey did you get those gas station glasses at Citco?" And he quickly replied with "Nope Exxon!" Which got a good laugh out of me.

Socorro was his normal great self. Lots of matwork and chain wrestling. And Flamingo impressed me.
Socorro got dumped out of the ring and landed right at our feet.

After a fun back and forth match Socorro won.

Match 4-PSP Tag champs Reggie Matthews/Wes Adams AKA the Alumni with manager Princess Kristen vs Lukas Frost/Kool Jay Steele AKA The Future Foundation with manager Hardbody Harper.


I was happy to see Lukas back in the ring. He had to take a bunch of time off last year because of an injury. Plus it is always fun to heckle Hardbody.

For the first half of the match Frost and Steele keep Reggie cut off from his corner. And beat him down again and again. Then finally Reggie made it to his corner. Made the hot tag and Wes hit the ring and cleaned it out.

The rest of the match was back and forth. Full of some great action. Then current PSP Heavyweight Champion Calvin Rose hit the ring and his interference caused The Alumni to lose their titles. Rose,Frost,Steele and Harper then laid out Wes,Reggie and Kristen.


After the match intermission started. After a quick trip to the bathroom we stood around talking to various people we see at every show.

Match 5-Luke Hawx vs Purple Haze

I was wondering if this would be face vs face. Because Luke is a face in PSP and Purple Haze usually is.

Purple Haze was out first and the crowd seemed to like him.

Luke was out next and the crowd went nuts. Both guys shook hands and the match started. Now normally Purple Haze is a high flying guy. But this match was loaded with lots of matwork.

With Luke doing a ankle lock. Which Purple Haze broke out of.

Then Haze got Luke in a modified surfboard.The crowd started dueling chants for both guys. And Luke got the win. After the match they shook hands again. Always great to see displays of sportsmanship like that.

Match 6-Bu Ku Dao vs PSP Heavyweight Champ Calvin Rose


Rose was out first with his manager Harper.So of course I start heckling Harper. I think I caught him laughing two times at things I yelled at him.

Bu Ku Dao was out next and the crowd was so solidly behind him. It was nice to see him getting a title shot. He is a great wrestler and I have never seen a bad match from him.I also noticed that him and I have the same haircut.Just he wears his hair up and I keep mine down.

The bell rings and quickly Bu Ku Dao was on the attack. Lots of kicks to Rose's knee. Then he backed Rose into the ropes and hit him with a flurry of punches. But it wasn't enough to take Rose off his feet. Rose grabbed Dao and started beating the crap out of him.

Dao tried his best. But he couldn't manage to overcome the size and power advantage Rose has.

After the match it looked like Dao had been knocked silly. I was very impressed with how close he came to winning. I wouldn't be surprised if Dao ends up as the PSP Champ one day soon.

Match 7-Battle Royale

Brett explained the rules. 2 people will start in the ring. Then after 2 minutes the next person enters.After that every 90 seconds someone comes in until there is only one person left.The winner gets a shot at the PSP title at the next show. Now it is hard as hell to review a battle royale. And between me taking pictures and writing down who had entered and who got eliminated I am sure I missed parts.So I will just list who entered in what order and after their name what number they got eliminated at.
1.Lukas Frost-18

2.Buku Dao-1

3.Wes Adams
4.Aeon Flexx-5
5.Danny Flamingo-2
6.Reggie Matthews-13
7.Outlaw Matt Lancie-4
8.Luke Hawx-3
9.The Punisher-8
10.Kool Jay Steele-17
11.Mr Sakitumie-6
12.Benjamin Todd-9
13.Senior ref Skippy-7
14.Socorro-12
15.Shane Champagne-10

16.Purple Haze-11
17.Hardbody Harper-15
18.Wildcard J.Spade-14
19.Princess Kristen-16




The highlights were

Skippy being announced as being in the Battle Royale. He was the ref on our side of the ring. And Dragon Is Barely Around got footage of Skippy's impressive wrestling debut.

Also Luke and Lancie got thrown over the top at the same time and ended up brawling right in front of us.


Reggie getting thrown out and landing right on top of my feet. The last two in the ring were Wes and Lukas. With both of them fighting on the apron. Wes eliminated Lukas. Then Calvin Rose hit the ring and Rose,Harper and the Future Foundation started beating down Wes. Reggie ran out to save Wes and got beat down. Kristen came out to help and got beat down. Calvin grabbed some scissors and cut so of Wes' hair. I yelled at Harper "Hey take the hair and make a toupee with it!" Harper then grabbed some of the hair and put it on his head.

The locker room emptied and chased the heels out. Wes grabbed the mic and cut a great promo.

"ROSE YOU CUT MY HAIR TONIGHT BUT COME MARCH IN LIBERTY MISSISSIPPI I AM GOING TO CUT THAT BELT FROM AROUND YOUR WAIST!"

The crowd seemed really hyped for the next show.

After the show Dragon and I hung out talking to Reggie and other people. Then headed out to Waffle house to eat. Where we had so much fun just bullshitting with Reggie and others.

Now I have been to 5 Powerslam shows so far and this one was the best I have seen.As always the wrestlers and other talent was super nice. And you can tell each of them did their best. So if you live anywhere Liberty MS on March 1st is Powerslam Productions Spring Bash show. Come check it out. Trust me on this it will be more than worth the 10 bucks the ticket cost.

Wildkat Sports Hawx vs Hardy 08/24/2013

After not getting much sleep we left my place around 11am. Made a few stops on the way down. Getting drinks and snacks. Then got into New Orleans around 1:30pm. Went to Juan's to eat. Then ended up hanging out at a bookstore with one of Collin's friends.

Pulled into the Mel Ott center around 6:30pm and the place was packed. Thankfully Damien had saved us a parking spot. Went in and got our tickets. Entered the gym and a cop asked to see what was in my backpack. Then I spotted Phillip and Koby. They had saved us a spot on the bottom row of the bleachers. The gym was packed, I am betting there was at least 700 people in there.

I headed over to the Powerslam Productions gimmick table to talk to Casey and Kristen. Bought the PSP Brewski Brawl DVD. Then saw that Matt Hardy and Reby Sky were at their table. Went over and asked how much for an autograph. It was only $5. So I got Matt to sign my copy of the OMEGA documentary DVD. Mentioned I knew John Henry and Matt talked to me for about 10 minutes about the OMEGA days. Then I headed back and took my seat.

Big Ramp and Brett hit the ring and got the crowd all hyped up. Then Hardy's music came on the speakers and him and Reby came out.

Saw a fan on the other side that had a great sign. "IF HARDY WINS WE DIET" Matt got a mixed reaction, about half the crowd cheered him and half booed him. Hardy cuts a promo about how the feud between him and Luke started. And of course when he mentions Luke the crowd went nuts.

Match 1

Mr 450 Steve Anthony vs Byron Wilcott

Steve came out first with his manager Hardbody Harper.

Then Byron came out with a pink polka dotted Kabootel. The crowd was solidly behind Bryon. Well except for this one older guy that sat behind us. All night he was cheering the heels. I think he was mostly doing it to mess with the huge group of kids that were there with him.

It was a fun fast paced match. And a great way to start the show. Anthony took the cover off the turnbuckle. And we noticed it was covered with ducttape. So there was many jokes about how deadly ducttape was.

Most of the match was built around Anthony trying to slam Byron into the deadly ducttape. Byron put up a good fight. But Anthony won.

Match 2

Rudy Russo/Ricky Starks VS Wes Adams/Purple Haze

At the last Wildkat show Russo injured Adams' leg. So this was kind of a tag team grudge match.

The highlights were Starks standing on the ring apron making all kinds of wacky faces and just generally being a great heel. Wes busted out some moves I have never seen him do before. And him and Haze made a great team.

After a nice well done match Wes and Haze got the win.

Match 3

For the Wildkat Revolution title

Outlaw Matt Lancie with Hardbody Harper VS SGT Socorro in a Texas Bullrope match

Brett did a quick disclaimer about how this match might get really brutal so if you had small kids might be time to take them to the bathroom/etc. I thought their locker room emptying brawl at the last show was intense. But this match was 10 times more intense.

Lots of neat spots with the bullrope.Both guys got busted open and there was blood on the mat and the floor. But sadly Lancie got the win. He knocked Sgt out and Socorro couldn't answer the 10 count. Outlaw Matt Lancie is the new Wildkat Revolution title.

Brett got on the mic and let everyone know it was time for intermission. So the crew could clean up the blood. I went and grabbed a smoothie. My throat was sore from all the yelling. Then Collin asked me to goto Matt Hardy's table with him. Collin had brought a bag of grapes with him. He wanted to get some pictures with Matt,him and the grapes. We waited in line and found out it was $10 for a picture. Collin walked over and told Matt he had a prop for the picture. When he pulled the grapes out Matt chuckled. But the look on Reby's face was priceless.

After taking those three I showed them to Matt and Collin. Matt said he wanted another one that was a close up and asked for us to tweet the pictures to him.

Intermission was wrapping up. I talked to Big Ramp for a few minutes. Then sat back down.

Match 4

Curt the Stud Matthews vs Buku Dao

This was the final match in what has been a year long feud.

As with every match between these two guys it was amazing. Buku Dao actually managed to powerbomb Stud. And the match was very back and forth. With Stud doing lots of power moves

  and Buku using his speed to counter act the size and strength difference.

They ended up on the mat and Buku locked Stud in a crossface. Stud tried to break it but couldn't so he ended up tapping out. After the match while Buku was celebrating Steve Anthony ran out and waylaid Buku.

Match 5

Bestia 666 vs Bolt Brady

This is a rematch from the Wildkat International Invasion show earlier this year.  And this match was even better than their last one. Both guys were moving so fast I had trouble getting pictures.

Bolt did a suicide dive to the outside. Plus there was lots of lucha libre style moves and spots. Bestia got the win. And I hope he comes back and they have a third match.

Main Event

Luke Hawx vs Matt Hardy

Matt was out first with Reby by his side. So Luke Hawx came out with Trina Michaels. This was one of the best matches I have ever seen live. Both guys gave it their all.  

Luke went to the top rope. But Reby pushed him off and he fell to the outside.

Luke got counted out. So Matt won by count out. Hardy grabbed the mic and talked about how he didn't want to win by countout.

 So General manager Al Lyons restarted the match and said it was a no count out match now. They ended up brawling outside the ring and right next to us on the bleachers.

They got back in the ring. Brawled for a bit. Then Matt rolled under the ropes and pulled a ladder from under the ring. Matt brought the ladder into the ring and hit Luke with it.

So the ref DQed Matt. Al Lyons got on the mic again and said the match was to be restarted and was now NO DQ. Matt superplexed Luke off the ladder

. But didn't get the pin. Then Reby and Trina entered the ring and had a cat-fight. Matt climbed back up the ladder to leap onto Luke. But Perry,Luke's son, entered the ring and tried to protect his dad.

Reby ran over and low blowed Perry.

Will Perry and Luke were still on the mat, Trina tried to attack Matt. But got powerbombed for her efforts.

Luke recovered and him and Matt brawled some more. Then the Wildkat locker room emptied out.

And they all attacked Hardy. Then held him down while Luke jumped off the ladder.

Luke got the pin and the entire Wildkat roster celebrated.

They all left the ring and Matt was still laying there. Reby gave him CPR.

Finally Matt got up grabbed the mic and cut a promo on the crowd. We hung out for a bit talking to people. But since both Collin and I had to be up early Sunday we left and missed out on the after party.

Now I have been to many wrestling shows. And this one was the best indy show I have ever been too. Plus it is the 3rd best wrestling show I have ever been too. Right behind Beach Blast 92 and Wrestlemania 17. If you are in the area check out Wildkat Sports. Or look for Wildkat Sports on youtube. Thanks to all the Wildkat crew for such a great evening of entertainment.
