NWA Central States Wrestling presents "Shots Fired"
Lawrence, KS March 29, 2008
Estimated attendance was 100.
CSW decided either by choice or necessity to use two trainees to ref the entire night. I'm pretty sure it was the first time either man had done so in front of a crowd. The night started with what they like to call a "Trial By Fire" match. Basically, it's a way to bring in new talent to see how the crowd likes them, and it usually leads to an exciting opener.
Trial By Fire
Steven Kennedy def. Brandon Espinosa
Up next was the "final" confrontation between Derek Stone and Domino Rivera.
Derek Stone def. Domino Rivera via shenanigans Shina-No-Maki (sp?)
Stone updated his offense to go with his new "fat guy" appearance. Stone brought the comedy by arguing with the ref while Domino was down, by advancing and retreating across the ring with the ref in his face. Of course, to do so, the had to walk all over Domino. Leading to the finish, Stone was doing the cornered 10-punch routine, but Domino pushed him off. The ref caught an elbow and was KTFO. Domino put Stone down for the count, but there was no referee. Domino proceeded to cover Stone in the Mexican flag and wandered to the back to find the other referee. As soon as Domino went through the curtain, Stone did the Deadman sit up. He quickly moved the ref to his former position and placed the flag over him, immediately hiding outside the ring. Domino pinned his perceived victim only to discover Stone's shenanigans. Domino proceeded to walk right into the trademark submission of Stone and immediately tapped. After the match, a large, unidentified black man ran out from the back and totally nailed Derek Stone with a beautiful Ace Crusher. After some more beating, Domino and his ally stood tall.
6-Man Elimination Match for the #1 Contendership for the NWA Kansas Title
"#1" Brett Young def. Darrien Sanders, Hype Gotti, Tony Cortez, Jaysin Strife, and Jeremy Wyatt via One-and-Done (full nelson to cutter) on Darrien Sanders
Some great stuff went on in this match. Mainly, the interactions between Young/Wyatt and Strife. Both men wanted revenge for the vicious beating Strife and "The In Crowd" put on them at Reloaded. Wyatt had such hatred for Strife that both men were eliminated after brawling on the outside for a 10-count. Great chops from the newly turned face Young. Sanders and Gotti also had some great kicks. Cortez also showed some great personality, especially for his second show with CSW. Crowd was hot for Young's win.
INTERMISSION
CSW has been trying to get rid of some of their overstock DVDs at their live shows, selling them for $5 a piece. A great deal for some great shows.
After intermission, Jeremy Wyatt interrupted the announcing for the next match and challenged Jaysin Strife to a fight "right now!". Strife came out and the two men began exchanging punches, chops, and kicks. Eventually it broke down so that Strife had the upper hand and a steel chair. After a shot to the back of the downed Wyatt, Strife began to celebrate. When Wyatt got up, Strife hit him in the head, HARD. Wyatt no-sold it! Another shot to the head! Wyatt is "hulking up"! ANOTHER shot to the head! That seems to be all "The Rebel" could take as he did not get up after that. After Strife left--arguing with fans the whole way--Wyatt got up slowly, refusing help from a referee and security.
NWA Central States Title Match
Michael Strider def. Tyler Cook
Cook came out first, and was extremely hateful to the fans. Last month, Cook, Jaysin Strife, and Payday Patterson (The In Crowd) turned their backs on the fans and CSW itself by demolishing Strider, Jeremy Wyatt, Brett Young, and Derek Stone. Strider wasted no time making an entrance and immediately began destroying Cook with vicious chops and his trademark "back" chops. The whole time, Strider was asking, "Where is he? Where's Payday?" Strider completely no-sold Cook's strikes, and continued with the beating. Eventually Cook evened the playing field with a suplex or two. The match ended with not one, but TWO doses of "Three Chords and the Truth" (Swinging Neckbreaker, Testdrive, whatever). Afterwards, Jaysin Strife ran out and took down Strider. Strife and Cook set-up Strider for THREE superkicks. The team continued to mess with the champ until Jeremy Wyatt returned, holding the very chair that Strife used on him. The In Crowd left the ring, while Wyatt draped the CS Title over Strider's shoulder.
MAIN EVENT: NWA Kansas Title Match
"#1" Brett Young def. Mark Sterling via One-and-Done
A long match that was very unusual for both men. For some reason, Mark Sterling performed a lot of sleeper holds on Young. Usually Sterling goes for impressive technical offense to get the job done, but this match kept going and going. It ended after a bit of shenanigans. See, Brett Young is a wrestler, but he's also a trained magician. The ref was distracted (he is a rookie after all) and Young grabbed a handkerchief from his ring jacket. From the prop, which was maybe 6x6, Young produced a three-foot magicians wand which he used to strike Mark Sterling, followed by the One-and-Done for the win! The fans were excited by the crowning of a new champion, and ended the night chanting "Num-ber One! Num-ber One!"
All around a pretty good show. Best match was probably the six-man match. Conspicuous by his absence is the perceived leader of The In Crowd, Payday Patterson. Also, some foundation work was laid down for the upcoming tag team division in CSW. CSW returns to Lawrence on May 3, 2008!
