NAPW (North American Pro Wrestling) returned to the Hickory Grove Banquet Center in Rochelle, IL last Friday, June 26TH. It was cool having a Friday night show in Rochelle. The attendance was around 100 fans. It was nice to see some familiar faces including Anthony and his mom. Also a honor to finally meet fellow message board member slacker. Wrestler Jay Kross and referee AJ Lewis were also in attendance. Many new fans also attended the show.
"The Italian Warhorse" Anthony Antonelli announced to the audience that he recently had surgery done on his groin and will be out until August. TJ Steel, the lap-dog to Commissioner KaDance Kelli, was acting commissioner since Miss Kelli was not present for the evening. Mr. Steel ordered Antonelli to serve as commentator. Dwight Streater was the ring announcer and the officials were Getch and Scott Wolfe.
1. Brawn the Lumber Jack vs Jack Carpenter
This was a short-but-sweet match. The crowd was excited and fully behind Carpenter. The burly Lumber Jack controlled the majority of the bout but was caught in a roll-up.
Winner: Jack Carpenter
* Due to Anthony Antonelli's injury, Carpenter would get the title shot to face current NAPW Champion DOJ in the main event.
2. Nate Quest vs Mitch Blake
Blake took the younger competitor to school starting things off with a nice side headlock on the mat. Quest felt numerous thunderous chops in the corner. Blake did the hush famous by the Big Show. Quest illegally used a steel chain to knock out Blake and score the "W".
Winner: Nate Quest
3. Alex Bernadino vs Jimmy Blaze
Bernadino started out in NAPW. A homecoming for him. It was also a honor having Jimmy Blaze compete. Bernadino nailed Blaze early on with a spinning clothesline. The veteran Blaze used a fallaway slam to earn a victory.
Winner: Jimmy Blaze
4. "The Difference" Joey Rose vs Mike Anthony
Great back-n-forth action. Awesome to see the former WCPW Champion Anthony use the old tree stump maneuver. Rose gave a great performance but tapped out to a half-crab. Excellent match.
Intermission
5. Grin vs TJ Steel
Huge pop for Grin. Crowd was really into this match. Steel used the classic Eddie Guerrero move by handing his opponent the steel chair and playing dead. Grin was DQed.
Winner: TJ Steel
6. NAPW Champion DOJ vs Jack Carpenter
Both men brawled to the back of the venue. DOJ nailed a very hard powerbomb. Very physical bout. The champion ended up scoring the pinfall.
Winner: DOJ
*NAPW returns to Hickory Grove in Rochelle on Friday, July 31st. It will be an outdoor event and the first over 21. There will be extreme wrestling and the Too Sexy models. Hopefully Eileen and KaDance Kelli will be in bikinis. Joey Rose won't be in a bikini (Thank Goodness). $8.00 Admission and a 8:30 PM start. More info will be posted on either this website or NAPW's Facebook page. Should be a wild, fun night.
