Good crowd. At least 200 (conservative) and likely 250 packed 115 Bourbon Street for the show. I won't argue with 300. Most seats filled, and people standing along the bar.
They showed the you tube preview videos with Tenacious P and DSH hosting the clips. Kevin Harvey did hype duties while Jimmy D did the announcements.
1) Clash (Skye/Treznik) d. Los Something (Del Sol/Xion) after interference, double team Clash finisher.
2) Keith Walker d. Darrin Corbin clean.
I might be out of order here:
Joel Gertner came out, did his shtick. Dustin Diamond came out, used the b-word a lot, shoved Gertner down. MsChif out. Dustin dissed women in wrestling. Wagner & McEntyre distracted. Dustin jumped MsChif. Krotch/Fontaine saved. 6-person match made later.
3) Zero Gravity d. O'Reilly/Juice Robinson to retain AAW Tag straps: No word on what happened to Kozina. CJ pinned after spinning star elbow. Fair.
4) Truth Martini d. Joey Eastman after Walker laid out Eastman with chokeslam. Eastman wore the blue singlet, white & blue socks. Didn't go two minutes.
5) Shane Hollister d. Davey Richards w/ three kicks to head to retain AAW Heritage title. Best match of the night. Davey just spent a good portion of the match kicking Shane a lot.
6) Mason Beck d. Emerson: OK. Beck is now shooting for #1 contender.
Raven's pre-match promo made references to him having carnal relations with Silas' wife. Vowed after match to have carnal relations with Silas' mom and cat. Yes, he really said cat.
7) MsChif/Krotch/Stache d. Diamond/McEntyre/Wagner: The wrestlers did most of the bit and Dustin got a few shots in while others were hurting. Cat fight. Gertner lowblowed Diamond. MsChif pinned Dustin, did not mist him.
Long intermission for cage setup, not too long.
8) Jimmy Jacobs/Dan Lawrence d. Irish Airborne in steel cage: Not that long. Good brawl in crowd. Lawrence and Jake juiced. Dave missed moonsault off side of cage. Jacobs pinned Dave after splash off top of cage onto Dave. Silas Young out for beat down, Raven out to beat up Silas, leading to:
9) Silas Young d. Raven to retain AAW Heavyweight Title after Mason Beck, filling in as ref after two ref bumps, kicked Raven as he was going for an Evenflow DDT. Pretty good main, Val wore a Packers shirt and got spanked by Raven, ref BJ's head got spanked by Raven's throwing a steel chair right into it and it did not look pretty.
Post match, Raven teased revenge, talked about coming back with Saturn. Saturn got little pop. Raven thanked everyone for coming out.
The people selling the Lucha masks made a Packers lucha mask. Really.
Return date for Berwyn is 3/12.

Your estimate of the crowd is way off. Nearly 475 was the paid attendance. Biggest crowd in AAW history.

I guess Dustin wasn't ready to go if he had to be hidden in a six man.

I guess Dustin wasn't ready to go if he had to be hidden in a six man. he did pull off a hip toss. other than that his "wrestling" ability was what i figured. the room was big. the only down side was one side of the ring was next to a stage and on the other side there was a column. |

AAW "Path of Redemption" is in the books and what a night it was! A huge crowd packed the ballroom at 115 Bourbon St to witness the following. - The CLASH (Cameron Skyy/Tommy Treznik) w/ Mena Libre d. Samuray Del Sol / Shiima Xion with a Double DVD on Xion Exciting tag team opener that pitted high flying against mat work and ring positioning. CLASH got the win after Mena Libre interfered * Promo from Joey Eastman. He told Truth Martini he was not there to wrestle, he was there to fight and that Martini better be prepared - Keith Walker d. Darrin Corbin with a lariat Walker punished Corbin for much of the match with chops and strikes finally finishing him with a big lariat. * Kevin Harvey brought out Joel Gertner. Gertner spit some rhymes to the delight of the crowd but was then interrupted by Dustin Diamond and the two traded insults. Diamond shoved Gertner down and turned his attention to MsChif who entered the ring. Diamond then brought out the Awesome Threesome (Wagner/Mcentyre/Eryn) and took a cheap shot on MsChif. This brought out Krotch and Marion Fontaine and a six person tag was set up for later in the show. - Zero Gravity d. Juice Robinson / Kyle O'Reily to retain the AAW Tag Team Titles when Esparza hit Juice with the Shooting Star Elbow Competitive match here as Robinson and O'Reily gave the champs all they could handle. After weathering an early storm Brett and CJ rallied and retained the belts. *Promo from Silas Young, talked about Raven being a big deal but not to him as he saw him as just another challenger - Truth Martini d. Joey Eastman after Keith Walker attacked Eastman Eastman looked prepared to tangle with the veteran but the bout was not even a minute in when Walker hit the ring and destroyed Eastman. Martini then attacked Eastman's throat jabbing a steel chair into his windpipe. Truth has added "The Human Massacre" to his stable * Promo from Raven with some disparaging comments about Silas Young and Val Malone - Shane Hollister d. Davey Richards to retain the AAW Heritage Title after three buzzsaw kicks Amazing bout here as both men traded stiff shots for much of the contest. In the end it was Hollister who got the win in a bout many will look at as a turning point in his young career. The standing room only crowd applauded both men as they shook hands following the match. - Mason Beck d. Jesse Emerson with the "Beck Mountain Bomb" Mason Beck continues to impress as he picks up another win with a huge powerbomb MsChif / Krotch / Marion Fonataine w/ Scarlett d. Dustin Diamond / Knight Wagner / Jordan McEntyre w/ Eryn Entertaining match here as Diamond picked his spots where the opportunity presented itself. In the end it was McEntyre getting the green mist and inadvertently tagging Diamond in. Joel Gertner returned to hit a low blow on Diamond and MsChif finished him off for the victory * Promo from Mason Beck. Said he should be the #1 contender and he was coming for Silas Young - Jimmy Jacobs / Dan Lawrence d. Irish Airborne in a Steel Cage Match Wild and bloody bout as the fight spilled all over the ballroom. In the end it was Jacobs hitting a splash on Dave Crist off the top of the cage through a table for the win * Post match Silas Young entered the cage and attacked Jacobs and Lawrence. Raven came in leading to.... - Silas Young d. Raven to retain the AAW Heavyweight Title in a Steel Cage Match Back and forth brawl here and the champ was busted open. Val Malone got involved and Raven spanked her over his knee. Raven then went to throw a steel chair in Young's face but mistakenly blasted referee BJ Johnson. PJ Drummond then came in but he was taken out as well. A wild scene as Raven was about to hit the Evenflow DDT when Mason Beck hit him with the big boot giving Young win in shocking fashion. * Post match Beck carried the champion out of the cage and Raven thanked the fans for coming out saying he would come back for revenge. Big thanks to everyone who came out and made this show a success. Also thanks to our sponsors Bettenhausen Automotive, Numark Credit Union and Reckless Records AAW returns to Berwyn on 3/12 for the 7th Anniversary show. Card TBA. www.AAWrestling.com |

Your estimate of the crowd is way off. Nearly 475 was the paid attendance. Biggest crowd in AAW history. Well, sue me for not being able to go around and get a head count during the show without losing my seat. I did count a rough 180 about 20-30 minutes before the show. There were a lot of folks at the bar. Sorry you're peeved, but I'm not a fan of overestimating the gate. Especially when the place is filled with a good amount of staff. Will have more details later. |

Not peeved at all. Just wanted to clarify the attendance. |

OK...my useless comment. I think this proves that AAW can draw other than in their home base saloon. Move around guys......

well, it was my first show for aaw, and i got lucky being so close. as someone who goes to bourbon a lot, and knows the staff, i know the max. capacity for the room is 650, but there wouls need to be no ring or mer h tables for that. 450-475 seems like A pretty fair estimate. 500 might be pushing it. very much e njoyed the show, although i do wish gertner got more time to talk. but i`ll definitely be looking into going again.

Biggest crowd in AAW history. I think the term you're looking for is "Super no vacancy" |
