Results – HWA at The Sorg Opera House – 12/16/09

This past Wednesday night the HWA entertained fans at The Sorg Opera House for the final time of 2009. The show featured six matches and there wasn’t an empty seat in the house. The show was kicked off by crowd favorite Dave Crist in singles action against Kyle Havens. Havens was making his professional wrestling debut against one of the HWA’s top stars and while his task at hand was certainly not an easy one, Mr. Havens did make an impact on both the fans and his fellow wrestlers. Dave started off by taking the house microphone and introducing himself to Kyle Havens, followed by insisting that Havens go out to the crowd and shake hands with each and every fan, to properly introduce himself. Havens did just that and after his formal introduction the bell rang and the action began. Dave controlled the early going with a bit of chain wrestling but seemed to be impressed that Havens was holding his own. Havens followed up by going for a quick rollup, getting a near fall. Dave then asked Havens to dance, which caught everyone off guard, but to Havens credit he did dance, albeit poorly. From here on Dave was all business, using several veteran tactics to maintain the upper hand. At the nine minute mark, Dave forced Kyle Havens to tap out to a front face lock. Crowd showed Havens respect for holding his own against a top notch opponent. In 2010 fans should be on the lookout for Kyle Havens who has a world of potential and a bright future in front of him.

Chris”The Madness” Hall made his way to the ring for a gauntlet match. His first opponent, Kid Fabulous danced his way to the ring and took the fight to the much larger Madness quickly. After roughly a minute of flying all over the squared circle, Madness caught Kid with a sideslam for the pin. Up next was Kid’s partner Sid, who battered Madness with fast dropkicks and stiff chops. About a minute later, Madness delivered a press slam to Sid, kicking Sid in his head right before Sid hit the mat, which would be enough to finish Sid off. Madness’ third opponent, aaron Xtreme bolted out from the back and suffered a similar fate as Madness’ first two foes. After some lightening fast offense, including a beautiful hurricarana, Madness rebounded to pick up the win less than two minutes into the match following a devastating neckbreaker. Madness grabbed the microphone and demanded a higher quality of opposition. Jake Crist comes out to the delight of the fans and calls Madness “Fatness”. Crist followed up with several more insults and then returned to the locker room area. Madness, quite angry at this point, demands that Jake come back and face him in the ring. Jake returns and begins going through the crowd, joined by his brother Dave. Together they taunt Madness who begins to chase Jake all over. They wind up in the ring face to face, when Dave lays behind Madness. Jake shoves Madness, who trips over Dave and the bell rings! Madness quickly regains control prompting Jake to bite his hand. Madness, more angry than ever now, overpowers Jake and throws him from corner to corner. Jake regroups, takes Madness down and goes for a sharpshooter, which was blocked. Madness misses a Vader bomb, Jake nails Madness with a top rope dropkick, followed by two more dropkicks and a superkick, which gets a near fall. Jake applies the sharpshooter, but Madness gets to the ropes. Madness catches Jake flying from the top rope but Jake fights free and hits a second superkick which got another near fall. Madness got a near fall of his own following a spinebuster and goes for another Vader bomb, but Jake gets up and climbs the ropes with Madness. Jake from the second flip hits a sunset flip, gets another near fall and from there again applies the sharpshooter. This time Madness couldn’t escape and had no choice but to tap out.

The Noble Bloods, Chad Cruise and Matt Taylor, competed in a handicap match against Aaron Williams. Aaron didn’t wait for the bell, throwing Chad out of the ring and beating down Matt. Chad gets back in the ring, only to get thrown out again. Taylor attacks Aaron from behind and takes control. Aaron rebounds with a dropkick and ducks when Chad tried to hit him from behind, causing Taylor to take the shot. Shortly after The Noble Bloods begin double teaming Aaron and this was the theme of the match. Aaron, with his never say die attitude, would valiantly battle both men until a double team effort would stop him in his tracks. The match lasted fourteen minutes from start to finish and around the ten minute mark Chad had Aaron pinned but stopped at the ref’s count of two. This would prove to be the biggest mistake of the match. Aaron fought back, getting Matt Taylor in a crossface. Chad tried to dive on top to break it up, when Aaron moved and applied the crossface to both of The Noble Bloods, with Chad lying on top of Matt! The Noble Bloods regrouped and double suplexed Aaron and after regaining control, Aaron hit Chad with a flying body press for the three count. After the match, Matt and Chad beat down Aaron for several minutes. Will Aaron be ready to go for his title for title match this Saturday against King Vu?
