Once again I apologize to the NAPW fans, wrestlers & staff along with the entire CPW message board readers for having to split the results up like this. Let's continue the results from last Saturday night (1-28) from the Elburn Community Center in Elburn, IL.
5. The Eight Man Rookie Gauntlet Match. All eight participants surrounded the ring. Two men would start by the number they drew earlier in the dressing room. The loser of the first match would leave the ringside area while the winner takes on the next challenger until all eight participants competed. This match was the show stealer and received a huge applause from the crowd.
A) Justice Jones vs The Freak
The Midwest Monster known as Jones gave swift justice on the newcomer sporting green hair. Both made their NAPW debut. Heavy body shots and crushing his opponent in the corner by Jones scored him the first victory of the Gauntlet.
B) Justice Jones vs Anthony Antonelli
The Italian Babyface was crushed off the bat by a huge Justice boot. Jones looked like he was going to run the Gauntlet until Antonelli pulled a small package from his bag of tricks and pulled off the upset win.
C) Anthony Antonelli vs Alex Bernadino
The two fan favorites shook hands before their match and treated the Elburn Community to an entertaining bout. Multiple quick moves throughout the bout. A quick roll-up put Alex in the showers.
D) Antonelli vs Big Red Tower
NAPW History was made during this match. Big Red Tower stormed into the ring and missed a huge body splash in the corner. A quick Antonelli roll-up a stunned Tower for the win.
*The match was about thirty seconds if that. Congrats to Big Red Tower for holding the NAPW record for shortest loss.
E) Antonelli vs Cameron Jacobs
The cocky Jacobs delivered an impressive bulldog that almost won him the match. Antonelli soared off the ropes with a high cross body to earn him another advancement.
*Hats off to Jacobs in a losing effort. This young kid is a good heel and continues to improve.
F) Antonelli vs Jack Carpenter
These two put on a solid match. The Italian crowd favorite was dumped early onto the floor. Antonelli fought back but his luck finally ran out when he attempted another high cross body only to be reversed.
G) Carpenter vs Aaron Xavier
Another good match to end the Gauntlet. Xavier started off with a good hip toss and wrenching arm bar. Carpenter bounced back with his own set of stiff kicks and a bulldog. Xavier delivered an impressive Arn Anderson spine-buster. Carpenter would eventually score the pin.
Winner: Jack Carpenter
*An announcement was made that Jack Carpenter would face Tweek Phoenix on February 25th in Elburn.
6. The Main Event for the NAPW Heavy Weight Championship
"The Strangler" Diego Corleone (C) vs "The Hater" Pauly Thomaselli
Pauly was sporting his own face paint as he opened the title match trash-talking with the champion. After a brief lock-up, the challenger took control early on. "The Strangler" kept jawing with the fans with his signature phrase, "Who's the Man?" The power of Thomaselli and a rough shoulder block gave the #1 contender the early lead. The champion goaded his prey to the floor and caught Pauly with a stiff boot while re-entering the ring. A few more brawls spilled onto the arena floor. Both combatants were sucking for oxygen in the late stage of this title match. Pauly's quest to win the title fell short when the thirty minute time limit expired.
Winner: A DRAW
-NAPW action returns to Elburn, IL on both February 25th and March 17th. Jack Carpenter vs Tweek Phoenix is slated for 2-25-12. Former WWE and ROH star Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana will be special guest at the 3-17-12 show. The re-match between Corleone vs Thomaselli will headline one of these two shows. Please check the upcoming shows section on this website or go to www.naprowrestling.com for more matches and ticket price info.
-Congrats to NAPW for continuing to draw better at each show in Elburn. Let's hope for a bright 2012.
-Congrats to Jack Carpenter and all the participants in the Rookie Gauntlet for a tremendous match. It could have easily went down the toilet but all these men worked together to bust their butts off for us fans.
-Congrats once again for a successful NAPW debut for The Midnight Express Reboot. The Midwest area is fortunate to have them and should put on some great tag matches. One of the members of Reboot contacted yours truly about doing the interview through e-mail. Hopefully I can e-mail them some questions and post the interview withing the next two weeks.
-Anthony Antonelli told me after the show that he might have cracked a rib. The young man was in pain. Wish Anthony a speedy recovery. He's a tough kid that is so fun to watch in the ring. He gave a strong performance in the Gauntlet.
-Once again check out DC Video 108 to purchase NAPW DVDs from this past show.
