Results – UWA: New Years Redemption – 1/10/09

What a way to kick off the new year for the UWA by giving away a free DVD of the December 6th show! The fans were pumped and ready to receive a DVD but shortly after UWA ring announcer Bochephus gave away the DVD he was interrupted by Murder City Inc a.k.a. Ben and Jason Kimera. Ben grabbed the microphone and told the fans that he had some bad news about DeJa Vu. Going on to say that DeJa Vu would not be at the show and that he had a bad accident with the baseball bat that he carried out to the ring with him. Jason seemed very pleased that he had Andre Heart one-on-one in the no DQ match and that’s the way it seemed from the fans point of view. However Andre came out and had some bad news of his own for Ben stating the he didn’t have the night off just because of what happened to DeJa Vu and that he found a replacement. That replacement was Jon Moxley!

Our first contest is a one-on-one bout between Dan-O-Mite and “So Fine” Frank Stein

Frank Stein didn’t delay on his antics by having Boceaphus re-introduce him and telling the fans that he didn’t want to here any “Frank Stein sucks” chants. And of course he got the complete opposite by getting plenty of “Frank Stein sucks” chants. Dan-O-Mite out powered and outsmarted Frank Stein during the first half of the match by backing him into the corner on two separate occasions and letting Stein get tangled into the corner upside down by missing a clothesline. He also got stein between the middle and top ropes and then proceeded to hit him with knife edge chops. Both men went back and forth controlling the match before Dan-O-Mite was able to trap Stein into a modified version of the cross face making Frank Stein tap out.

Bo likes to give stuff away and it shows! He gave away a free soda and bag of chips to the loudest fan before the next match.

Next up is General Lee vs. Xylon

Xylon came out fired up but that wasn’t enough to match up with General Lee as Xylon had no time for an offensive front with General Lee staying focused throughout the entire match and making quick work of Xylon, hitting a neck breaker for the 1-2-3.

Bo interviewed Mary Elizabeth talking about how dominant she was during the rumble at the last show and asking her if she really thought that she could win it. She went on to say that she didn’t think she could win, she knew she could win. She also went on to say that she thought things would be different at the UWA but when she arrived she didn’t have another female to wrestle. So she issued an open challenge that didn’t go unanswered for very long as V-Rad made his unwanted entrance; and began to tell Mary Elizabeth that he was going to put her in check.

Our next contest pits Dylan Bostic against Roderick Stone

This match started out fast with Roderick Stone hitting a monkey flip on Dylan Bostic and a few stiff punches in the corner. Dylan was able to get firm control of a headlock before Stone was able to get into the ropes for a 5 count break. Stone hit Bostic with a few quick moves sending Bostic retreating to the outside. Showboating on the outside, Bostic did everything he could to break the 10 count and remain on the outside. Once Dylan returned to the ring Stone regained his previous momentum and control of the match hitting move after move on Bostic. However Bostic wasn’t out yet as he was able to grab another headlock and take some of the momentum away from Stone. Bostic tried for a moon-sault off the top rope and missed allowing Roderick Stone to hit a Double Underhook DDT for the victory.

Our next contest is a tag team match Adrenaline X w/ Nikki Heyman vs. The Kid and Sid Angel

Adrenaline X was very upset that the fans were chanting K-I-D for The Kid, arguing with the fans for minutes before entering the ring and starting the match. Despite the crowd distraction Adrenaline X was able to take care of business making quick work of Sid Angel and The Kid and picking up the victory.

Next is Jon Moxley vs. Ben Kimera

The size of Kimera showed against Moxley as moxley tried to take the big man off his feet to no avail. However, Moxley was still able to gain some offense against Kimera, sending him to the outside and body slamming him onto the floor. Both men cheated throughout the entire match trying to get some momentum going but neither man could get enough momentum to stop the other. Kimera was getting frustrated so he went to the outside and grabbed a baseball bat from under the ring. Kimera brought the bat into the ring but moxley was able to get the bat and chase Kimera out of the ring. Jon Moxley won via count out.

V-Rad one-on-one vs. Mary Elizabeth

Mary Elizabeth got off to a quick start dropkicking V-Rad in the knee area and hitting him with a DDT. V-Rad retreated to the outside to argue with the fans. It seems that it was just what V-Rad needed as he was able to come back and take it to Mary Elizabeth hitting various moves that seemed to put her out for the count. The referee didn’t take to kind to V-Rad making multiple pins throughout the match only to release the pin after the 2 count. Getting upset with the referee V-Rad almost got disqualified by arguing and grabbing the ref’s shirt. Mary Elizabeth was able to get the 1-2-3 after hitting a RKO of the top rope.

And of course Bo wasn’t done giving stuff away as he gave away a free DVD after the match!

The main event pitted Jason Kimera against Andre Heart in a no DQ Match

Heart wasted no time what so ever getting things started going straight after Jason Kimera and no time at all the match was outside in the crowd. Both men went back and forth hitting each other with chairs and anything else they could get their hands on. The match spilled over by the concession stand where Andre was able to find some pie. Long story short he made Kimera wear it. Both men finally made it back to the ring were they continued to go back and forth. Once again back to the outside Andre hit Kimera with a can of Dr. Pepper and spit it in his face. Back to the ring again with Kimera gaining control of the match. After minutes of putting it to Andre, Kimera got upset and kicked the referee in the face. Minutes later Andre went for a pin and another referee came out however that didn’t last long as Ben Kimera took out that referee and then Andre getting Jason Kimera the victory.

Murder City Inc. was able to get a couple shots in on Andre before the entire locker room came out to make the save and chased MCI to the outside. Unhappy with what has happened Frank Hughes made his way out to the ring stating that on February 7th there will be a Ladder match to declare the first ever UWA Unstoppable Champion.

Be sure to check out UWAwrestling.com for more information on our up coming show and make sure you get to Sports of all Sorts on February 7th to see Andre Heart go on-on-one against Jason Kimera in a ladder match to crown the first ever UWA Unstoppable Champion.

The New Year Kicked Of In A Big Way, The Return Of A Former Warsaw Arena Wrestler, Debuts Of Some New Promising Superstars To The XCW Roster, And A New XCW Commissioner. Were Among The Hot Action On This Cold January Night. As The Fans Settled Down It Was Certain XCW Was The Hottest Ticket.

To Start The Year Off In A Big Way We Saw, A Huge Match, Between “The Live Wire” Aaron Gunn, And “The German Giant”, “The Swastika Sergeant”, Berlin. Aaron Relied On His Speed And Technique To Keep Berlin Off Guard, But Berlin’s Sheer Size Caught Up To Aaron. As Gunn Attempted To Deliver What Would Have Been A Knockout Superplex But Berlin Countered In A Big Way, Chokeslamming Aaron From The Top Rope To The Center Of The Ring, This Allowed Berlin To Pick Up The Victory, Eins, Zwei, Drei. (1, 2, 3)

As The XCW Security Attended To Aaron Gunn, The Fans Were Introduced To The 1st Of Many Surprises To For The Night. The XCW Committee Has Been Acting The Last Several Months With Out A Figure Head. Now They Have One, The Committee Has A New Commissioner Biff Douglas. Biff Delivered One Riveting Speech, That Made His Intentions Clear, As The Committee Has Given Him The Reigns, The Wants To Get Everything To Be Under Control. He Doesn’t Want People Sneaking Around, Attacking Others. The Fans Responded With A Warm Welcome To The New Commissioner.

As The Night Of Surprises Continued, The Fans Were Treated To A Little Nostalgia, As They Saw The Return Of Ike Jones To The Warsaw Arena. His Opponent Was Another One Making His Debut In The Warsaw Arena, “The Saturday Night Franchise” Daemon Danels. As The Match Ensued It Was A Stare Down, Between The Younger, Stronger, And Bigger Daemon Verses The More Experienced Ike Jones. As It Danels Looked Like He Was Tossing Ike Around Like A Rag Doll, Hitting Ike With Suplex After Suplex, When Ike Was Able To Counter Daemon Hitting Danels With A Huge Elbow Right To The Jaw, Then Another, And Another. Jones Using His Experience To Hold Danels At Bay. The Match Was Fully Under Ike’s Control, When Daemon’s Size Caught Up, Reversing And Send Ike Into The Turnbuckle. Danels Charged Full-Steam Toward Jones Leaping From The Center Of The Ring He Delivered An Explosive Spear To Ike In The Turnbuckle. As Daemon Looked To End The Match Ike’s Experience Paid Off As He Moved Out Of The Way Of Danels Charge And School Boyed Danels Pinning Daemon With His Feet On The Ropes. Unfortunately The Ref Didn’t See His Feet And Counted The Fall.

The Next Match Was An Ugly One As Two Of The Most Disliked And Biggest Ego’s In Pro Wrestling Collided As, “The Moscow Mouth”, “The Soviet Shooter” Nikita Allanov, Took On Tommy Blaze. The Fans Were Busy As The Duo Continued To Harass The Fans In Attendance. As Thing Heated Up Between The Fans And The Two The Building Was Shaking To Its Foundation. As The Match Finally Got Underway, It Wasn’t Long Before Tommy Fell Back Into The Crowds Ravenous Insults, When He Turned Around He Met Nikita’s Decapitating “Russian Sickle.”

The Fans Were Allowed To Cool Off As Intermission Was Underway. Fans Were Getting Pictures With Favorite XCW Superstars, Getting Cold Beverage, And Hot Pretzels With Cheese. As The Surprises Kept Coming, As The XCW Ring Announcer Artie Kidwell Was Up To His Old Tricks, His Magic Tricks, As “The Magic Man” Performed A Little Prestidigitation For The Crowd. There Was A Birthday Boy In Attendance, And His Special Gift Was The Paper The Artie Pulled Out Of Thin Air. Shocked By What Conspired The Boy Was Speechless.

As The Action Returned To The Ring, Avalanche Was Calling Out “The Bulldog” Garf Redman, On His Recent Discriminations, Between Garf, Avalanche & Dangerous Daemon Kass “DDK”. In A Brutal Match, Avalanche Looked To Snow Ball Garf, But The Enraged Bulldog, Fought Back, With The Fight Drawling Out. Garf Looked To End Not Just The Match, But Avalanche As Well, As He Grabbed A Steel Chair And Looked To Imprint It On Avalanches Face, When He Missed, Striking The Top Turnbuckle. The Chair Bounced Back In Garf’s Face Knocking Redman Out Cold. As Garf Stood Out On His Feet Avalanche Grabbed Garf And Delivered A Devastating Avalanche Driver. Planting Garf In The Match And Allowing Avalanche To Pick Up The Victory.

One Of The New Commissioner’s Act He Created The First Every XCW Tag Team Championships. And The Four Teams To Fight For The New Belts Were Among The Who’s Who Of Tag Teams, And A New Tag Team To XCW. The Four Teams Competed In A Fatal Four Way Elimination Match For The Titles. As A New Tag Team Duo Of “Awesome” Dewey Brown, And “The Misfit” Kevin Moore A.K.A. Dew Moore, Faced New Comers “The Dark Empire” Evan Steele And L-Ray. The Match Also Included XCW Fan Favorites The Wylde Brothers, And The Rough And Tough Ruffen Boys Flap Jack And “Showboat” Brian Cash. The Four Teams Fought Valiantly When The Action Spilled Outside The Ring And Several Wrestlers Went Flying From The Ring To The Floor Below. As The Wylde Brothers, The Dark Empire, And Dew Moore Battled Outside The More Experienced Tag Team Of The Ruffen Boys Stayed Out Of The Frey. Kevin Moore Picked Up The First Fall As He Hit A Misfit Drop On Tim Wylde. With The First Team Being Eliminated, The Ruffen Boys Made Their Move And Used The Power And Sheer Girth To Destroy The Lighter And Small Evan And L-Ray. Down To The Last To The Surprise Team Of Dewey And Moore And The Seasoned Flap Jack And Showboat. Yet The Inexperience Caught Up To Kevin As He Was Laid Out By Flap Jack’s Lucky Horseshoe. Allowing Flap Jack To Pick Up The Victory And The XCW Tag Team Titles. Not Content With Their New Belts, They Continued To Assault The Dewey, Choking Him Out With The Chair From The Horseshoe Flap Jack Wears. Once The Grew Tired Of The Attack They Discarded “Dew Moore” And Turned To Receiving Their New Titles. After The New Commissioner Presented The Dynamic Duo With Their Gold They Shoved Biff Down To The Mat, Definitely Not The Way That Douglas Had Intended The Presentation To Go.

Moving From The Beast, To The Beauties Of XCW The Vixxen’s Of XCW Were In Action As The Championship Committee Had Finally Found A Partner For “Hardcore” Heather Owens. As Heather Faced The Voluptuous Cameron Starr. In A One On Won Single Fight That Was Certainly Making The Audience Drool In Admiration Of The Two Ladies In The Ring. In The Closing Minute Of This Excellent Match Cameron Hit A Northern Lights Suplex And Bridging It Into A 2 Count. Having Seen Enough A Member Of The XCW Crew That Had Been Insulted At The Last Show (Click Here To See What Happened). As The Staff Member Made Her Way To Ring Side, Heather Attempted To Slap Her, As She Moved Heather Missed. Distracted Heather Had Allowed Starr To Sneak Up Behind Her And Was Thrown Over Cameron’s Head As She Hit Owens With A German Suplex That Picked Up The Win.

From All The Right Curves, To All The Right Moves With Our Last Match The Fans Were Treated To Another New Superstar, As “Mr. Reality Check”, Big Jim Hutchinson Faced, “The Human Dance Machine”, DJ Tom Sharp. It Was Certain That Tom Wasn’t A 100% From All The Attacks He’s Suffered At The Hand Of The XCW Champion, “The Other Dark Meat” Gotti. Luckily For The DJ Gotti Was Given The Night Off Due To His Prior Discretions. The Match Went Back And Forth As Tom And Big Jim Battled All The Way Around The Ring, From Rope To Rope And From Turnbuckle To Turnbuckle. It Came Down To The Superstar That Was To Make The Last Mistake, And Not Being One To Disappoint His Fans, DJ Tom Sharp Snatched Victory From The Jaws Of Defeat. With Big Jim Looking To Land A Huge Splash On Tom In The Corner Tom Was Able To Counter When He Hit A Super Sunset Flip From The Top Rope On The Big Man Allowing Hit To Pin Big Jim Hutchinson.
