AAW June 10th - Tag Tournament, Black vs Brave

Here are some news items from aawrestling.com going into this weekend's show:

- 6/7/06 - The big question is who will Stu Early pick to be his partner. Will it be the man that he captured the AAW Tag team Titles with back in September, Machine? The last we have heard from Machine was he was still nursing a back injury...Could he be ready to go or will it be another AAW star? We know for sure that it must be someone in AAW already as they are not allowing outside competitors in the tournament...Stu definitely needs backup as Zach Gowen and The Michigan Invasion have really been a thorn in his side...It was the Michigan Invasion who originally took out Machine and cost them the tag team title back on the March 25th show..Well all I can say is you have to be there this Saturday night to find out........

- 6/7/06 - From what I have been told The Lady Thrillaz are pissed off that they aren't in the tournament..Their gripe is that the loss never should have counted as the illegal man, Krotch, tapped out. They have stated that they will be in Berwyn this Saturday night to confront Billy Whack, Reign / Marco, and " Magnum' Gary Havok who seems to always cause a disturbance during their matches.

- 6/7/06 - We have not received word yet if Marco Cordova has been medically cleared to wrestle...If you remember, Marco suffered a broken shoulder socket on April 15th attempting a plancha over the top rope. He has stated that he will be in the tournament no matter what..The luck of the draw did not do his team any favors as they drew the team of Jimmy Jacobs and Zach Gowen..Although they have not teamed in AAW, Jacobs and Zach have teamed on many occasions especially in their home state of Michigan...Could Jacobs be joining The Michigan Invasion? It might be a good fit as he did break in the business will all of the guys...Plus, Jacobs can't be pleased the way his last match with Jerry Lynn went down....The Michigan Invasion is well represented as Truth Martini and Nate Mattson take on another Michigan native, CJ Otis, and Bryce Benjamin.. The Michigan teams could possibly meet in the finals if everything goes well..Now that would be interesting....

- 6/7/06 - Speaking of Gary Havok, what is his deal? We all know that the competition to earn a spot is out of hand....If you can't pull your weight and succeed, you're out....I don't think Havok understands the word NO very well.....Billy Whack has continually told him that there aren't any spots for him, yet Havok continues to parade around in the crowd to get noticed....He has gone so far as he has had people sign petitions and has even brought picket signs that read " LET ME IN "...The weird thing is that the AAW fans are starting to get behind him, and it can't hurt that he passes out free beer..None the less, it's working with the crowd...Along with Whack being aggravated. The Lady Thrillaz are also hot as Havok has distracted them on more then one occasion which has led to their defeat..Is The AAW CEO ever going to give in and let Havok wrestle again? We'll soon find out..

- 6/7/06 - Jerry Lynn will face the winner of Black and Brave at Scars and Stripes on July 15th in Berwyn.......

- 6/6/06 - This weekend's tag team tournament will have a slight change to the rules. In every matchup, there will be a clear, cut winner. So draws & countouts will be waived. The dq is still in affect but only if a ref is struck. This is a new era in AAW and we will do everything in our power to make the product different from the rest.

- 6/6/06 - Another newcomer, Flash Flanagan, will debut on July 15th

- 6/6/06 - Could High Society be crumbling ? Trouble has been brewing for months now, and matters didn't get better with Eric Priest walking out on the team at the April show. And he was M.I.A. at the last show. The Gold Standard has not returned any of AAW's calls but we have heard from others that he will DEFINATELY be there on Saturday night. And we have heard that the veteran of the team , Derek St. Holmes , is extremely disappointed with the youngster Weston Benton. The former AAW Cruiserweight Champion has also looked very annoyed with his mentor as of late. 2006 has been a very disappointing year for a team that looked destined to wear the gold in AAW. They failed to overthrough Machine/ Stu Early for the titles earlier in the year and the team of Jayson Reign / Marco Cordova has continually got the best of them. On June 10, this might be High Society's final chance at winning the AAW Tag Team Titles. But another 11 teams stand in their way.

Maybe I am, but when I see so many matches, I automatically think "long show." Must be a habit I picked up from all my IWA watching.

nice video preview

Anyone have predicitons?

Oh yeah, and for the Tyler Black/Marek Brave match. Man, this is a tough one. These two know eachothers moves knowing they trained together.

Prediction: Either a DQ or Marek Brave will have Tyler Black on the ropes of defeat and then Jim Jesus interferes and helps Tyler keep the strap.
