AAW "Path of Redemption" is in the books and yet another capacity crowd braved the elements and PACKED the Berwyn Eagles Club. Here are the results.
Pre show:
Dewey Dawson d. Knight Wagner
Tony Rican d. Jordan McIntyre
Brandon Blaze w/ Joey Eastman d. Saumray Del Sol
____________________________________________________
*Show opened with Joey Eastman backstage announcing that he had acquired the contracts of Arik Cannon and the Northstar Express. The Phoenix Twins entered and were not happy with their new stable mates.
Absolute Answer (Caden Ames/Chris Able) d. Derek St. Holmes/Hunter Matthews w/ Koa MarieAnother impressive win for the young team of Ames and Able. Should be a big year for the Absolute Answer.
*Backstage Tenacious P interviewed Keith Walker. Walker wanted to know why the fans have not accepted him since his come back. He said anytime Harley Race calls him he will always chose him over AAW.
Josh Abercrombie d. Keith Walker, Trik Davis, Shane Holister, Kid Hybrid, and Jeff Brooks in a mayhem match to win a spot in the Final Four match in MarchAn action packed match that saw Walker in control until losing his focus and arguing with the fans at ringside. Trik Davis hit him with a faceblower followed by a Shane Hollister flying knee strike to get the big man down. After Hollister and Trik were dumped out of the ring, Josh Abercrombie took advantage and finished off Walker with a Phoenix Splash. Abercrombie now has a shot at the title in March!
*Kevin Harvey interviewed Bryce Benjamin in the ring about his injury and comeback. They were interrupted by JJ Inc (Jim Jesus, Marek Brave, and bodyguard Big J) . Marek was about to lay out Bryce when Shane Hollister came out with a pool cue and cleared the ring.
Arik Cannon/ Joey Eastman d. Krotch w/Nikki Krotch showed alot of heart in this match and was able to survive a vicious assault by Cannon. Nikki hit a beautiful hurricanrana on Cannon but it was not enough as The Anarachist
hit Krotch with a brainbuster and Glimmering Warlock for the victory.
*Backstage Keith Walker snapped and attacked the Absolute Answer
Dan Lawrence and SkullKrusher Rasche Brown d. Ryan Boz and Jimmy Jacobs via DQ after Lawrence was attacked with a metal spike.SkullKrusher and Boz brawled to the back and left Jacobs and Lawrence in the ring. Boz soon returned with a spike and they attacked Lawrence who was a bloody mess. This situation is far from over.
*Backstage The Michigan Invasion talked to Kevin Harvey about their match with the Phoenix Twins. Trik Davis walked through their interview and the Invasion attacked him. During the scuffle N8 Mattson accidentally hit Truth Martini and sent him flying down a flight of stairs, injuring him and taking him out of action.
Tyler Black d. Silas Young in Young's farewell matchYoung came out and said he would challenge anyone in the lockeroom for his final match before going to WWE. Dewey Dawson and Jordan McIntyre both came out and Young made quick work of them. Then Tyler Black's music hit and the fans went crazy. After an intense back and forth match Tyler got the win with a small package driver. Valerie Malone came to the ring and gave Silas a kiss, but then hit him with a low blow! Silas laid in the ring as "Don't Stop Believing" blared from the speakers. Silas slowy got to his feet and received a standing ovation from the Berwyn faithful. An emotional Silas saluted the crowd as his AAW run came to an end.
*Eric Priest was in the back talking about his issue with Jimmy Jacobs and his upcoming match with Danny Daniels. Chandler McClure showed up in his wheelchair wanting some air time but quickly retreated after Priest threatened to worsen his injuries even more. A funny promo.
* Ring announcer Jimmy D. announced Truth Maritni could not compete and the MII vs Phoenix Twins match was off. It would now be a three way dance for the Tag titles!
Jerry Lynn w/ JJ Inc. d. Tony Rican to retain the AAW Heavyweight title Lynn made quick work of Rican but was then challenged by Jayson Reign. It was agreed that Reign would face Lynn in the Main Event.
TITLE vs CAREER!Trik Davis w/ Dave Prazak d. N8 Mattson* Backstage Reign signed his contract and smiled. The contract noted the match later would be contested under Hardcore rules and JJ Inc was banned from ringside!
Eric Priest d. Danny Daniels w/ JJ Inc to retain the AAW Heritage TitleDaniels had Marek Brave, Jim Jesus and Big J all at ringside with him. Towards the end of the match Tyler Black and Bryce Benjamin appeared in the entrance way. With the ref distracted, Shane Hollister hit the ring and nailed Danny Daniels. Priest finished him with the FU69.
After the match Jimmy Jacobs attacked Priest with a steel chain but Priest was able to take control and hold off Jacobs.
The Northstar Express (Darin Corbin/Ryan Cruz) w/ Joey Eastman d. The Murder City Machine Guns, The Phoenix Twins to become the NEW AAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSWay too much action to recap here. Eastman was trying to be in both of his teams corners at the same time. He threw Tweek Phoenix his batton but Tweek refused to use it. Ryan Cruz had no problem at all using the weapon and Darrin Corbin got the win and the titles for the NSE when he hit a disturbingly hard kick to the groin on Chris Sabin behind the ref's back. The Northstars celebrated in ring as the Phoenix Twins and the Machine Guns were in shock. The fans chanted "Please come back" and Sabin and Shelley told them the definalty would be back.
Jerry Lynn d. Jayson Reign to retain the AAW Heavyweight title and retire Reign in a Hardcore rules match An unbelievable contest that saw a number of weapons including tables, chairs, ladders and steel chains. A table was laid across the top turnbuckle early on. The finish saw Lynn hit a cradle piledriver from that top rope table through another table set up in the ring. Lynn is still the champ and Jayson Reign's career has come to an end. The AAW staff checked on Reign as the show came to a close and he was finally able to walk off on his own.
What a night. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather and made it out.
AAW is back in Berwyn 2/9 for "My Bloody Valentine".
