Results – CCW in Sayler Park, OH – 1/02/10

Announcer Dave Michaels opened the show with a list of the card, but was soon interrupted by The Showcase and Colonel Jonathan James. James complained to the crowd that he had to be on the west-side again and that nothing good ever came from there. The duo bragged about how they were taking the title and then went to the back.

In the opening bout, Malice (w/ Natasha Rivers & AOD) defeated Iceberg. Malice used a reverse DDT to pin a less-experienced Iceberg.

The second match was a tag team match that was supposed to be between Bad News and the Death Row Brothers, managed by The Warden. Keith News was unable to attend, so Pete took a newcomer by the name of Big Rob as his partner. The lack of familiarity did them in as Pete succumbed to an elbow-drop from the top row by the San Quentin Killer and was pinned. It was then revealed that Pete had been set up as his partner turned on him and revealed himself to be a former inmate from Alcatraz known as the Fat Man.

The third match was a match where the winner advanced to the finals to crown the 1st ever CCW champion. It featured “Bulldog” Dan Hansen and the very popular “Fighting Irish” Ryan O’Bryan. This was a very physical match that at one point saw Hansen drag O’Bryan to the concession area and back as he himself were bleeding from the nose. But in the end, it was two super kicks from “Irish” that led to his defeat and O’Bryan’s hand was raised in victory. This sent him to the finals.

The next qualifying match was scheduled to be between Princeton Travis and Jacob Frost. Frost was in the ring and as Travis made his way, Frost’s henchmen jumped him from behind. The Marvel Trice made his way out for the save but was then followed out by the Showcase. Once order was restored, The Boss ordered the two singles matches to become a tag team match where the winners would advance to the finals. A very fast-paced match followed that not even a time limit would settle. The Boss deemed that all four would advance to the main event.

After Intermission, The Lost Boy defeated Jaime Thunder using a Blockbuster from the top rope.

This brings us to the Main Event, a now five-man elimination match. This featured Ryan O’Bryan, Frost, Trice, The Showcase and Princeton Travis. Frost was the first man out following a front slam onto his injured ribs by Trice and was pinned. As he argued with the ref, his henchmen drilled Travis with a pair of brass knuckles. Ryan watched as he hit the canvas and knelt over him, not sure whether to go for the easy pin or not. He chose not to. It didn’t matter as Travis was the next one gone thanks to a crutch-shot to the head from The Showcase and then pinned by O’Bryan. A DDT by O’Bryan onto Trice sent The Marvel back to the locker room and it just left The Showcase and the “Fighting Irish” to battle for the title. They battled for a few minutes when the Showcase went for his version of the F-5 and O’Bryan countered it, hitting a super kick. The Colonel jumped to the apron and pulled the ref away long enough for Hansen to come out and clothesline Ryan. This left him prey to be pinned, which is what Showcase did to become the first ever Classic Championship Wrestling champion. After accepting the title and boasting to the crowd, James had Hansen attack O’Bryan more before they left the ring.
