Results – MCW at The MCW Wrestleplex – 3/20/10

THE REV REVIEWS MCW: 10th ANNIVERSARY AFTERMATH on March 20, 2010 from The MCW Wrestleplex in Alliance, OH.

Things started off with Commissioner Diaz and his loyal minion, Dick Jeremy, coming out to the ring to announce about the upcoming crowning of the new MCW Elite Champion (in April, if memory serves me right). While this went on, out to the ring came Mike Hercum. Now, I have to admit, one thing had me a bit curious; Hercum was promised that if he defeated Diaz (which, technically, he did), Mike would “get the title [he] deserved”. My question was: What title? Certainly not the newly-minted Elite title.

He went into the rant I expected to hear, about how much he deserved the belt and how badly he’d beaten Diaz, yadda yadda yadda. This new attitude of Hercum’s, I must admit, is wearing a little thin, and from the boos of the crowd, I‘m not alone in my opinion.

Diaz and Jeremy wanted to obviously prove they were going to keep their word, and so gave Mike his belt. . .a cardboard and tin foil one!

Obviously, Mike didn’t seem to like his gift, bashing Diaz with the Elite belt and then locking Jeremy in the sharpshooter. Something tells me this isn’t over yet, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Supa Lucha took on the Unholy Acolyte, Isaac Alter (along with MalachI and Mary), in the first match. When Lucha went for a 450 splash, I thought “That’s it,” but he MISSED! Before Isaac could capitalize on this, Lucha quickly hit him with the Burrito Driver for the win. (No matter how many times I see that move, I’m telling you, it never gets old!)

Amityville’s favorite son, Krazy, faced off with Jebediah, who came to the ring with Dr. Dale Pierce (personally, I’m surprised both of them were able to recover from the Singapore Cane match 2 weeks ago). Just as Krazy had dropped Jebediah with a Krazy Krunch and was ready to pin him, Dr. Dale decided to get involved and jumped up onto the apron, distracting Krazy. This got him a knee in the spine from Jebediah, who finished him off to win the match. Apparently, this wasn’t enough for the two of them, as Jebediah nailed Krazy with the Doctor’s goat-foot cane and continued the post-match beating — until Mr. Insanity came out to even things up, armed with a Singapore cane, and sent both Jebediah and Dr. Dale running.

As if Mike Hercum hadn’t had enough fun in the beginning of the show, he took on the masked Japanese phenom known only as Chiyudo Ropa. Ropa started the mind games early, tricking Hercum into a game of “Patty Cake”, and when they actually went into a lockup — Ropa suddenly yelled “STOP!”. . .and went into an MC Hammer dance. This didn’t sit well with Hercum (small surprise there). Ropa’s Compton Kick managed to knock Mike to the floor; Ropa got him back in and went for a scoop slam — only to have Hercum slide off, nail him with a Flatliner, and lock on the sharpshooter. It didn’t take long for the masked man to tap out.

Nikki Skidz came out to face and get summarily annihilated by Christian Vaughn’s new minion, Big Hurt. Out from the back came Luscious Larry Lavender, and we ended up with a bonus match! When Larry got Hurt in a figure four (that I’d like to think Ric Flair would have liked), in came Vaughn, who raked Larry’s eyes to break the hold. Hurt nailed Larry with a slam, and just as Christian was about to blast Larry with the championship belt — Larry escaped, Hurt took the belt shot, and Larry pinned the big man for the win! (As it sayeth in the Book of Rogue, “Live by the scheme, die by the scheme”.)

Crew Spense (odd name, but what the hey, it’s his) took on Wilbur Whitlock in a fairly solid match, but it wasn’t to be Spense’s night; after exchanging turnbuckle shots, Crew managed to toss Wilbur over the top rope — or so he’d thought. He didn’t take the time to check to see if Wilbur had actually gone over. . .and he hadn’t. Wilbur had managed to catch himself on the apron and got back in to hit Crew with the Whitlock Cutter for the win.

In the Main Event, one-half of Killer Sensation — Chris Kole — took on Mr. Insanity in a match that began with impressive showings of both men’s chain and submission wrestling abilities. Further on in the match, just as Mr. Insanity had Kole for the pin, at the count of 2, out came Jebediah to break up the pinfall and start brawling with Toby. This got the match called as No Contest, and earned referee Logan Scott an abrupt meeting with a ring corner post (OUCH!) that left him bleeding.

I had figured that there’d be fallout from the Anniversary show, and I’m fairly certain this may be just the beginning. . .

Until next time, I’m the Reverend Rogue Six, and I’ll see you at ringside!
