Mississippi Championship Wrestling 03/19/2011

MCW is back with a new episode this week. And it is an hour long. We start off with letterboxed footage set to "It's my life" by Bon Jovi. Weird choice of music but whatever.

Match 1 Tatt2 vs Rondale Roosevelt Clipped
Seems the footage is of Tatt2 vs Rondale Roosevelt. IIRC Roosevelt is part of Bruise Brothers 2k.  Tatt2 seems to be a high flyer. Roosevelt hits a nice split legged moonsault,but only gets a 2 count. The match seems to be clipped. And keeps jumping ahead. Tatt2 catches Roosevelt with a stiff kick to the head. And goes for the pin. Roosevelt kicks out at 2. Roosevelt goes up to the top rope. Looks like he was trying to hit a senton. Tatt2 rolls outta the way. And with both guys flat on the mat the ref starts the 10 count. Tatt2 gets up and throws Roosevelt to the ropes and hits some crisp moves.  Tatt2 then hits a rolling thunder then a Asai moonsault. But Roosevelt kicks out at 2. Tatt2 hits a 619,or since this is Mississippi it might be a 601. And again Roosevelt kicks out at 2. Roosevelt hits a modified samon drop. The crowd seems to be behind Tatt2. Tatt2 goes for a second 601/619 but this time Roosevelt moves outta the way. Then he rolls up Tatt2. 1,2,3 Roosevelt gets the pin.

We then cut to a promo from The VIP Cassidy Riley. Riley is the Mid South Heavyweight Champion. Then we cut to Jerry Clower in the ring with JYD and Hacksaw Duggan. This is old footage from Mid South. Clower is wearing a bright red wide lapel jacket.

Match 2

Malek Avalon w/Travion vs Tiger MAsk???

We start off with who I assume is Malek and Travion in the ring. And Malek is parading around with a belt. It looks like the belt says XPW on the front. Weird. Ok I have no idea who this Tiger MAsk is. Malek takes Tiger down with a shoulder tackle. But Tiger gets right back up. Tiger throws Malek to the ropes and does a nice armdrag. Crap this match is clipped. They go outside the ring and Malek gets thrown into the crowd. Tiger throws Malek into the guardrail and I see a shopping cart full of stuff. Wonder if this is a hardcore match?  Cut again and now they are back in the ring. Tiger throws Malek to the corner and hits him with a stiff clothesline. He repeats this again . And then tries it a third time,but Malek ducks. Cut and now Malek has Tiger in the corner and is hitting him with kicks and boots. Tiger rolls outta the ring,and Malek's manager comes over and puts the boots to him. Malek rolls out and throws Tiger into the guardrail. The crowd is kinda small but very very vocal. Malek rolls Tiger back into the ring and goes for a pin. Cut and Tiger is running off the ropes when Malek catches him with a nice dropkick. Malek goes for the pin. Cut and now they are both in the corner.Tiger charges into the corner but Malek smacks him with a big elbow. Tiger recovers and does a great looking double underhook suplex. He pins Malek. But Malek kicks out. Cut and Malek hits a jawbreaker. Cut and Tiger knocks Malek off his feet with a clothesline then hits a belly to belly suplex. Tiger goes for the pin but only gets a 2 count. Cut and Malek is in the corner. Tiger runs the ropes,and Malek catches him with a superkick. Malek climbs to the top rope. He seems to be going for a crossbody block,but Tiger dodges it. Tiger hits a crisp german suplex,rolls and hits another. He rolls again and is trying for a third but Malek gets outta the hold. Tiger gets thrown into the ropes,and Malek's manager rips Tiger MAsk's mask off.  Malek then rolls Tiger MAsk up for the pin.


Match 3 Ron Horn vs Wade Garrett
We goto some black and white footage.  Quickly it goes back to color and Garrett is beating the crap outta Horn. Cut and we see Horn throwing Garrett into some lockers. Ok this seems to be a hardcore match. We get lots of quick clips of both guys using tables,ladders and chairs. It seems that Garrett wins. I wish they had shown this entire match. Mainly cause Horn always is entertaining to watch. The guy has natural charisma and knows how to work the crowd.

We goto another promo from Cassidey Riley and they are advertising a show in Yazoo City.

Match 4 Monty Warbucks Vs Joe Kane

They tie up and Warbucks gets a side headlock. I am assuming that Kane is a face. The two guys tie up again and Warbucks gets another side headlock. He throws Kane into the ropes and takes him down with a shoulder tackle. Weird the crowd seems to be behind Warbucks,so I guess he is a face. IIRC last time Warbucks was on MCW he was a heel. Warbucks and Kane circle the ring. And Kane throws Monty into the ropes. But Monty knocks Joe to the mat and drops an elbow on him. Joe exits the ring,and Warbucks jawjacks with the crowd for awhile.Kane comes back into the ring,and Warbucks nails him with some quick punches. Kane hits Monty with a huge punch and Monty goes down. He gets up and throws Kane into the corner. Monty goes for a big splash but Kane gets outta the way. Monty ends up an a halfass tree of woe. So Kane does a running dropkick and Monty falls to the floor. Kane follows him to the floor and works on Monty's arm. Kane and Monty get back into the ring. And Kane twist Monty's right arm. Strange I was told that wrestlers always work on the left side. Maybe Joe Kane was trained in the Lucha Libre style,in which they work on the right side.  Now Kane is working on Monty's left arm. But Warbucks catches Kane off guard with a hard punch. Warbucks is thrown to the ropes and Kane hits a flying clothesline. Warbucks hits a nice spinebuster. Then a suplex. Monty goes for an elbow drop,but Joe Kane rolls outta the way. Kane catches Monty with a modified side Russian legsweep and gets the pin.


Match 5 Iceman King Parsens vs Brickhouse Brown
Now we cut to Ron Tronguard??? Wait this is AWA footage from ESPN Classic. Strange. Ok now we have graphics at the bottom of the screen telling us this is "Classic Wrestling from AWA/MCW" Ice Man King Parsens Vs Brickhouse Brown.  Seems this match is from Superclash III. Parsens is the Texas Heavyweight Champion. Iceman is wearing a sweet reflective blue top hat. Crap Vern Gagne is on the mic,and as usual he sucks. Brown shoves Iceman to the mat. And they lock up. Brown gets thrown to the ropes but hits Iceman with a very very sweet dropkick. It is almost as good as Bob Holly's dropkicks. Brickhouse gets Parsens in a side headlock.  Brickhouse runs the ropes and hits Parsens with two solid shoulder tackles. Brown goes for a backslide but Iceman gets out. Iceman throws Brown to the ropes and catches him with a good kneelift. Then Parsens takes Brown down with a short clothesline. And then hits a snap suplex. Parsens goes for the pin,But Brown kicks out at 2. Parsens then hits Brown with 3 punches and Brown hits the mat. Parsens goes for a piledriver. Brown reverses it into a back body drop.  Iceman rolls to the corner and begs for mercy. But Brown ignores this and throws Iceman to the ropes. Brown hits a flying bodypress. Iceman pulls some brass knucks outta his tights and hits Brown with them. 1,2,3 Iceman King Parsens wins.

We cut to Jimmy Hart in some studio talking about the new Fabulous ones. It seems one of them is Porkchop Cash. We get various footage of them posing and walking around in red velvet tuxes. While "You dropped a bomb" is playing. A graphic at the bottom of the screen informs me that this is "The Bruise Brothers .... The Beginning part 1". Neat stuff to see,but I would have rather they didn't show this and instead we had gotten the entire Ron Horn match. Now we cut to some tall guy wearing a shirt with the Punisher skull on it. Some rap song is playing in the background. I have no idea what the song is,but then I also haven't kept up with rap since about 1994. Ok this seems to be clips from various matches. And the guy in the Punisher shirt is Kevin Northcutt I think. Kevin seems to be a decent wrestler and very agile for being such a tall guy. Neat he is attacking some people with a flaming chair. We also see Kevin hit a few superkicks. Strangely some of the footage is full screen and some of it is letterboxed. I wonder if any wrestler out there has ever used "the Ramones-The Crusher" for their entrance music?  We now goto some fat guy in the ring ,and who I think is Kevin Northcutt. This seems to be more clips from a match,but this time we get the actual audio. Again this is fun,but I rather they had cut this out and given us the complete Tiger Mask and Ron Horn matches. And the show is over. Pretty good show. I just wish they would show entire matches instead of clipped matches.

Wolf drops Morgan to the mat and goes for another leg submission.  Wolf keeps working the leg.Morgan gets up and hits Wolf with a leg lariat. Wolf takes out Morgan's leg and goes back to working the leg. Wolf puts on a reverse Indian deathlock. Morgan breaks it,and Barry whips Morgan into the corner. Then hits a clothesline.

Carter cuts an interview very much in the style of his "father" JYD.

2nd match

The Bull God Minator VS Neil Goldbrick

Minator comes out and we get his name,height and weight on the screen. The announcer talks about how Minator has won many regional titles all over the south.  Goldbrick seems scared to lock up with Minator. Neil goes for an armbar but Minator seems to not feel it. Minator hits a big boot to the face of Neil. Minator hits Goldbrick with a big bodyslam. Then hits a huge legdrop.Minator catches Goldbrick with suplex. Minator picks up Goldbrick and hits a sweet looking short arm clothesline. Minator throws Neil into the ropes and hits a huge sidewalk slam. He goes for a pin,but picks Goldbrick up at the 2 count. Goldbrick hits a jawbreaker. Minator hits a slam and drags Neil to the corner and hits a second rope bodypress. 1 2 3 Minator wins.

We cut to the Bruise Brothers 2k  in the back with Porkchop Cash. Brother Love talks about how Mike Carter has a yellow streak down his back. Porkchop gets on the mic and talks about how the whole state of Mississippi is his house. Then mentions how Carter refused to shake Cash's hand. Sadly it is kinda hard to hear what all is said cause we have "Soul Man" playing and the volume on the song is higher than the volume on the mic.

3rd match joined in progress

Jason Rose vs Calvin Rose

Rose has Calvin on the mat. Rose drops a big knee to the head of Calvin. Jason gets Calvin in a rear chinlock and Calvin gets the crowd to start clapping. Calvin gets to his feet hits a few elbows and throws Rose into the corner. Rose climbs up to the second rope and hits Calvin with swinging neckbreaker. Rose goes for the pin. But Calvin Rose kicks out. Jason complains to the ref about it being a slow count. Then Jason goes to the second rope. He goes for a legdrop but Calvin rolls outta the way. Calvin gets up and throws Rose to the ropes. Hits a big boot and a clothesline. Then Calvin slams Jason hard to the mat. Jason reaches into his tights and gets out some powder. He throws it but it hits the ref in the eyes. Jason Rose climbs to the top rope and connects with a top rope sunset flip. Calvin reverses it and gets the 3 count.

We goto the back and Mike Carter is talking about how Mccullar Enterprise has the best deals on WWE,TNA,NWA and MCW merchandise. Sadly again the music playing in the background is louder than the mic volume so it is hard to make out what people are saying.

4th match

Ron Horn vs Ben Smith

Oh it seems Ben Smith is one of the guys from Capitol City Muscle.  The guys lock up. And we cut to a video package of Wild Childs of the City matches with "Do you think I'm Sexy" playing.  WTF Why bother showing less than 2 minutes of a match?  Then we cut to footage of the Bruise Brothers 2k while "Soul Man" plays. I much would have rather seen the Horn vs Smith match.  And the show ends.

Glad to see the show is back and we got 3 good matches. But they need to turn the music volume down during the backstage interviews. Plus I am still perplexed by why they showed us at most 2 minutes of the Horn VS Smith match then had close to 5 minutes of video packages. But the show has been improving each episode.

Brother Love comes out to "Soul Man" and he has PorkChop Cash with him. Brother Love is dressed like one of the Blues Brothers and is carrying a briefcase. Porkchop has this huge white beard.

Whiskey Hangover vs Capitol City Muscle

On the screen they inform us this will be video highlights. Whiskey Hangover are Ron Horn and Barry "Mr 500" Wolf. Damn I wish this was the entire match. I have seen Horn and Wolf face each other 5 times now,but have never seen them as a tag team. For some reason there is no sound . One of the CCM guys slams Wolf. Then it cuts to Horn and Wolf double teaming one of the CCM guys. And "Let the bodies hit the floor" starts playing. We get to see Whiskey Hangover beating the crap outta one of the guys from CCM. The CCM guy hits a shoulder tackle and manages to tag in his partner. Who comes in the ring and beats up both members of Whiskey Hangover. One of the CCM guys picks up Barry Wolf.

Love talks about how they offered Mike a handshake and the Carter spit on Porkchop Cash's hand. Cash talks about how if Mike Carter had shook his hand he wouldn't have too beat him up. Then Cash talks about how the Bruise Brothers will take over Mississippi. Not a bad promo

And we get a nice collection of pics of the various wrestlers while Genesis's "Land of Confusion" plays.

Overall not a bad show for the first show. There was a few sound problems and sometimes the video showed some breakup. But it was a fun introduction to the MCW product.
