Results – New Years Slamboree – 12/30/08

The DWA packed the historic Parkland Theater in Sayler Park once again as they presented “New Year’s Slamboree”. After the National Anthem was played, The Regulator made his way out to once again run down the theater, the fans and his opponent for the night, theater owner Ed Miller. After boasting about how bad he would hurt him, Regulator told Ed that he should not have brought his kids tonight so they would not have to witness the carnage that would unfold later. As the Regulator left the ring, a fan got in his face, soon receiving a slap from the former Tri-State champ.

The first match was a battle between The NightCrawler and “High Styles” Billy Niles. Niles was the victor after hitting “Crawler with a spinning wheel kick and then using “The Stylizer”.

Next was the “Tuesday Night Franchise” Damien Daniels taking on GhostRider. Daniels reversed an Irish Whip, catching GhostRider in a spinebuster and after ‘Rider kicked out twice, Daniels slid out of the ring and then back in with a steel chair. He then clobbered GhostRider with it, bringing with it a disqualification.

Malice took on and then defeated DWA newcomer “Lightning” Tim Lutz in the third match. Lutz missed a crossbody out of the corner when Malice pulled the referee in between them. After Tim crashed to the mat, Malice hit him with a jackhammer suplex and covered him for the pinfall.

After Intermission, the DWA Tri-State title was on the line as champion Princeton Travis defended the title against The Phantom. The action started fast as Travis surprised his opponent with a schoolboy rollup as the bell sounded and that set the pace for the match. Phantom took control but missed a legdrop off the turnbuckle. He regained control soon after by snap maring the champ from the top rope. The ref was knocked out of the way and Malice made his way to the ring. Phantom lifted Princeton on his shoulders for the electric chair and PT reached for the top rope to counter the move. When he did, Malice hit him with the Singapore cane, leaving him prone for the pin and The Phantom is the new DWA Tri-State champion.

Next was the tag-team grudge match with Evan Da Malice and Beauregard Jefferson Davis taking on the DWA Heavyweight champ Phoenix and Kamala Jr. At the lockup, Davis coerced Kamala into an old-fashioned Greco-Roman knuckle lock that ended with Kamala biting on his fingers. After the third time, Davis dragged him to their opponent’s corner and slapped Phoenix’s hand onto Kamala’s shoulder for the tag to end the feast of his fingers. Phoenix was soon at the mercy of Davis and Da Malice as they took turns wearing down the champ. On two occasions, Phoenix was able to make the tag to his partner, but unfortunately, the referee did not see them, thus not allowing the man from Africa into the ring. Two ducked clothesline and a double clothesline sent both the champ and Davis crashing to the mat as the fans cheered for Phoenix to make the tag. Both made it to their corners for the tag, but as Davis tagged Evan, Colonel Jonathan James tossed Davis a plastic bag filled with a powdery substance. As Davis dumped it into his hand, Kamala turned him around and knocked the powder into the faces of Davis and Da Malice. Phoenix hit “The Flight of the Phoenix” on Davis as Kamala hit Da Malice with a Juvi-Driver and the referee made the three count on both men.

This brings us to the Main Event. Regulator and his Bodyguard went to the ring first only to be confronted by ring announcer Dave Michaels. Michaels read from a fax sent to him by the missing DWA Commissioner Norman Guy that as of December 25th, the license of Regulator’s bodyguard had expired, meaning he had to leave the building. Regulator was livid. The fans soon were in a frenzy as the owner of the theater, Ed “the Parkland Punisher” Miller was announced. The more experienced Regulator took charge of the match early on as expected and stayed in control for most of it, using submission moves and other wear-down holds to tire the theater owner. But Miller was able to get in a few licks of his own, eventually clamping on the ankle lock as time expired, garnering him the win as stipulated. A defeated Regulator walked over to Miller extending his hand. After shaking it, then raising it high to the delight of the fans, Regulator sent a boot into the mid-section of the winner. As “The Parkland Punisher” writhed on the mat, Regulator called to a wrestler who had been waiting in the dark. Shortly after the 2-on-1 beatdown began, the fan that Regulator slapped earlier in the show climbed into the ring, first knocking Regulator out of the way then saving Ed from the bald stranger.

Once everyone was pulled apart, a challenge was made as Regulator introduced Bull Newland to the crowd to be his partner against Ed and the fan on Saturday night, January 31st. Miller shocked the fans and Regulator that he was going to have a special guest manager for the match and left everyone guessing.

Michaels repeated the match for everyone and reminded them that it would take place Saturday January 31st and for nobody to miss it.
