Results – MCW at The MCW Wrestleplex – 5/15/10
Posted on May 19, 2010 by Reverend Rogue Six
The Rev reviews MCW: Mayday II on May 15, 2010 from The MCW Wrestleplex in Alliance, OH.
The festivities for tonight began with the new MCW Commissioner — of course, I speak of The Man Himself, Shasta – coming to the ring. He was sporting a blazer; after all, if one is in charge, one must dress the part. I have to admit, not many people (outside of Sean Connery and Roddy Piper) could pull off the look of a blazer and kilt, but damn if he didn’t do it right.
Shasta gave a hearty welcome to the crowd, and even asked if they liked the jacket. He wanted to take a few moments to discuss how things were going to be under his new leadership.
First of all, when everyone went home tonight, they could go online (or push their little brother off the computer if he’s watching porn) to take a look at the new MCWPRO website, which was up and running.
Secondly, we were only 2 weeks from the show in Mansfield at the R&L Center, and after the Main Event, everyone needed to stay around for a special announcement that Shasta had concerning the Mansfield show; he added that for this show, MCW was offering a deal on tickets available only tonight — 4 tickets for only $10! And after the Mansfield show was over, they’d also be showing the latest UFC pay-per-view for FREE!
That’s MCW for you — always taking care of the fans!
But Shasta was not done. . .oh no, not yet.
He said how MCW would never apologize for things they’d do; “if you bring kids to a show, you’re on your own.” He was also bringing a new brand of rules into MCW shows — a little something called TRIPLE EXTREME rules: anything goes.
“If you’re easily offended, then go somewhere else! You’ve got the greatest company here in the state of Ohio!”
And with that said, he turned the mic over to “the sexiest announcer in wrestling — Miss Sarah” to start the show.
Out to the ring came one of the Rootin’ Tootin’ Buckaroos (Senior Referee Dave Rogers told me it was Tex). And with the strains of the classic “Bad Moon Rising”, out came the one and only Luscious Larry Lavender.
Tex must’ve not been that impressed by Larry’s singing, because he proceeded to jump Larry before he got in the ring. Larry returned the favor by tagging Tex with a series of clotheslines and then knocking him right out of the ring. Larry dominated Tex for most of the match — but kept making one error time and time again; he kept turning his back on Tex, who made the most of the openings that he could get. Larry finally finished the Texan off with a Rock Bottom and then a leg drop from the top rope for the pinfall. Now, here’s where it got odd; before Miss Sarah could announce him as the winner, the Luscious One rolled out of the ring and headed straight for the back — why, I have no idea!
As a somewhat woozy Tex was helped backstage, Nikki Skidz came out to the ring. His opponent for the night — none other then Jebediah and Dr. Dale Pierce. “Lord,” I thought, “don’t let him get the microphone. . .he did enough damage last time. . .”
The bell rang, and Jebediah went right on the attack, pummeling Skidz relentlessly and throwing him into each and every ringpost as many times as he could. While this went on, Dr. Dale stood outside the ring, orchestrating the attack, distracting the referee to allow his man to inflict more punishment, and looking for all the world like a proud papa. To Nikki’s credit, he did manage a comeback a couple of times — for only a few moments.
Jebediah then began to roll Skidz up for a 2-count, then lift him up to stop the count several times. I heard Dr. Dale say to certain people, “The more you shout, the more he punishes Skidz!”
Apparently Jebediah grew tired of beating on Nikki, because he hit him with a Hot Shot, then nailed him with the Haybaler for the pin.
Then Dr. Dale came in the ring, just as Skidz was unceremoniously tossed out, and took the mic. Evidently the answer to my prayer was “nope”. Just as the Doctor went into his rant, the crowd’s boos managed to override his words — but I wasn’t too fond of the disturbing motions Jebediah was making with that cane. . .the boos then changed into a “WE DON’T CARE” chant that grew in volume. The rant finished, the duo took their leave of the ring.
As the ringing of the chants calmed down, Aero smith’s “Love in an Elevator” began to play, and out came the newest sensations in MCW, the Young Studs.
Eric Ryan took the microphone, and began talking about how they requested the time to talk with the fans a bit, plugging their merchandise, then about how they plan to become the top tag team in MCW. After all, their track record was looking pretty good; they’d beaten the Rootin’ Tootin’ Buckaroos, they’d beaten Killer Sensation —
Bobby Beverly interrupted, saying that he knew why they were called “Killer Sensation”; it was because Chris Kole got a sensation every time that Shane. . .Eric stopped him before he could finish the statement, saying that the Young Studs will prove themselves each and every night.
At this point, out came Commissioner Shasta. He agreed with the Studs, yes, they are exciting. But he’s had to put up with Killer Sensation’s bitching and moaning about wanting a rematch to prove that the Studs’ win was a fluke. And Shasta had a solution: in 2 months, MCW would be staging a tournament to crown new Tag Team Champions. At the May 29th show, there would be a rematch between the Young Studs and Killer Sensation; the winners of the match would be the number one seed in the tournament! Shasta told the Studs to come “ready to kick ass and take names” that night.
Big Hurt took on Supa Lucha in a classic matchup of speed and agility vs. brute force and strength. Hurt was frustrated many times by Lucha’s hit-n-run attacks, and made him pay for it every time that he caught him. But no matter what he did, be it a backbreaker into a submission hold over his knee or ramming Lucha’s back into a ringpost, Lucha simply would not quit! Just as Hurt slammed the masked man into the mat with a massive
spinebuster — out from the back came Luscious Larry Lavender, belting out “Bad Moon Rising”. . .and it seemed the song was dedicated to Big Hurt!
While Hurt was wondering what the hell Larry was doing, he took his eyes off Lucha, who went to the air and caught the big man with a flying sunset flip and rollup for the win — and the upset of the night!
For this match, I’m dedicating the Rev’s “Payback’s a Bitch, Ain’t It?” award to Luscious Larry Lavender and my “Iron Man” award to Supa Lucha for not giving up, regardless of the damage he took.
During intermission, I took the time to stretch my legs. While doing so, I heard Sassy Stephie ringside, laying the trash talk on Jessicka Havok, who was signing autographs over at the merchandise table. “Okay,” I thought to myself, “this is interesting. . .” Just as I heard the announcement that the show would be starting back up shortly, saw Stephie wander over to the merchandise table, still talking smack, and then BAM! She slapped the taste right out of Jessicka’s mouth. Oh lord. Stephie must’ve decided that tonight was a good night to die. Jessicka snapped, flipped the table she was at over like it was nothing, and went after Stephie. The fight went away from the tables, headed past the ring, and straight for the concession stand — where I was standing! (Never thought I’d nearly become part of the show. . .)
The two of them went at it like two bloodthirsty lionesses, neither relenting in their attacks. At one point, Stephie bailed out of the ring and headed for the back, Jessicka in hot pursuit. Just as the match was announced as a double-countout, the battle came back to the ring for several moments, only to go back to the locker room again. . .and out they came again! They fought even more (Nick Andrews making the Quote of the Night: “You two can continue that at my house if you want. . .”) as a chant of “LET THEM FIGHT” went up while the refs separated the two and took them backstage. Great day in the freaking morning! Shasta came out and asked the crowd “Whaddya think of those 2 fighting like that?” He added that if Jessicka and Steph could find partners, on June 5th, there’d be a Women’s Tag Team match — fought under Triple Extreme rules!
For the sheer explosiveness of this impromptu match, I have to give this one two awards: the Rev’s “Match of the Night” and “The Deadlier of the Species”.
As the dust settled, out came the MCW Elite Champion, Mike Hercum. He looked a bit dismayed that there were no cheers for him (sorry mate, but they way you’ve been going, if you want cheers, you came to the wrong place). Just as he took the mic, I saw a rare sight that made me check my glasses — the Riot Zone got up and left! (I kid you not!)
Chants of “SHUT UP HERCUM” and “SHUT THE FUCK UP” started as Mike went into his little self-serving talk. “At the last show, Wilbur Whitlock took me on, and he didn’t do a thing to me, because I’ve still got the title. . .”
A new chant of “BORING” started as Hercum went on: “Guys like Wilbur don’t stand a chance against guys like me. . .call me what you want, it doesn’t matter. . .because no matter what, I’m still the Elite Champion!”
And with that, he left, hefting his belt over his shoulder.
Nice to see that Mike can brighten up the ring. . .by leaving it.
Father MalachI led his Flock to the ring as Isaac Alter was scheduled to face Wilbur Whitlock. I didn’t like Wilbur’s odds for this match, which I was sure was going to turn out to be a 4-on-1 handicap with Mary and the masked beast Ezekiel at ringside. And as the match went along, I was right; if it wasn’t Mal tripping or choking Wilbur, Mary managed to interject herself into the match. I must, though, give a measure of credit to young Isaac — he showed definite signs of improvement.
But when this bunch is around, you know it’s going to be interesting. And tonight would be no exception.
Issac went up to the top, only to be pushed off by Wilbur — right into Mal, Mary, and Ezekiel! Wilbur followed that with a dive through the ropes and got them again!
Ezekiel (who’d been taken off the chain) got in the ring — only to be stopped by Mary, who slapped him in the face! Ezekiel then picked her up and tossed HER onto Wilbur and MalachI! (Now I’ve seen everything!)
Isaac caught Wilbur with a tornado DDT that slowed him down for a moment, but Wilbur then came back with a Russian Leg Sweep, a pair of atomic drops, and a reverse DDT.
Mary came back in and got into Wilbur’s face — bad move on her part. He took her by the hand, pulled her over his knee, lifted her schoolgirl skirt, and gave her a few swift smacks on the backside! Just as he dropped her off his knee, he finished Issac off with a Whitlock Cutter — but before he could pin him, in came Ezekiel to cause the DQ of Isaac and a win for Wilbur.
As the bell rang, ending the match, in came Krazy, who went after Isaac. . .and then came Mike Hercum, armed with his title belt, laying it into Wilbur’s head twice.
While the Alters left the ring, Hercum stood over Wilbur for several moments, then spit on him and left the ring. (Yeah, way to show class, Mike.)
All this insanity – and we still had the Main Event to go!
First to the ring came Justin Diaz and Dick Jeremy, who seemed to be in a blonde state of mind due to his wig.
Then out came MCW Heavyweight Champion Christian Vaughn, with his entourage of Minka Murder and Big Hurt.
I swear to you, folks, I don’t know why, but for some reason Vaughn’s hair was higher then ever before! (And to think I used to ride Nikki Skidz about his use of hair spray. . .)He was now in full peacock mode, by the size of it.
Just as he neared the ring, the chant of “VAUGHN’S A FAG” started, changing into Minka’s “SHE’S GOT HERPES” chant.
The bell rang, and Vaughn went for a test of strength — only to receive the traditional one-finger salute from Diaz.
Diaz was moving fairly well for someone with injured ribs, deftly avoiding Vaughn’s attempts to go after them for quite awhile until a head shot got through. As the attacks intensified, Vaughn began to mock Diaz; Dick got so frustrated, he popped his wig!
Diaz rallied to nail Vaughn with an enzugiri and his bulldog, but then the game got even nastier when Vaughn got what looked like knucks on his hand — and as he went to nail Diaz with them, Diaz ducked. . .and Vaughn nailed Minka hard enough to knock the tiara off her head!
This gave Diaz an opening to go up and come off the top rope — but Vaughn caught him in mid-flight with a fist to the gut, which allowed the champ to roll him up for the 1-2-3.
Shasta came out for his surprise announcement.
“Actually,” he said, “this is more of a surprise for you, Vaughn. Last time, you were scheduled to defend the title against someone who couldn’t make it. . .well, on May 29th, you’re defending the MCW Heavyweight title — against Brain Damage!
“And that’s only the first part. . .”
What? There’s more?
“The second part is that the match will be done under. . .Triple Extreme rules — in a barbed wire death match!”
As the crowd cheered at the news, I couldn’t help but notice the once-smug champ suddenly looking very, very worried. . .
What horrors awaited Christian on the 29th?
Only time was going to tell. . .
Until next time, I’m the Reverend Rogue Six, and I’ll see you at ringside!

Results – MCW at The MCW Wrestleplex – 5/01/10
Posted on May 11, 2010 by Reverend Rogue Six
The Rev reviews MCW: Mayday I on May 1, 2010 from The MCW Wrestleplex in Alliance, OH.
To start things off, Christian Vaughn came out to the ring to talk on the mic about how he was still the MCW Champ and that he continues to give the fans what they want every show. I’d love to know what fans he was talking to, because some of the ones I’ve listened to are getting a little fed up with his methods of saving himself and his title. . .
Diaz’s music began to play, thankfully ending Vaughn’s little rant, and out came the Commissioner to (ironically) congratulate Vaughn on once more pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes and sneaking his way to another stolen victory. Diaz went on to add that he’d just recovered from a major neck/back injury that should’ve ended his career, and the pre-match ambush by Vaughn and his minion Big Hurt not only helped Vaughn win, it also broke 2 of Diaz’s ribs and put him on the shelf for another 4-6 weeks.
Vaughn replied that if Diaz wasn’t happy with the results of the match, he would gladly give him another shot at the title…but he was an impatient man and the rematch would take place in Alliance on May 15th! (Wow, picking his shots, didn’t see that coming. . .
Diaz, fighter that he is, reluctantly accepted the challenge. But he had something to add — “I just remembered the whole reason I came out here tonight. It wasn’t to consort with you, your dog, or whatever you call that tramp on your arm. You see, since I’m returning to active wrestling, it wouldn’t be ethical for me to remain the Commissioner of MCW Wrestling.” Vaughn seemed to be a little too happy at this point. As for me, my Rogue-sense started going off; I smelled something was going to happen. . .
After Diaz took a moment to explain to Dick Jeremy that no, it wasn’t him, Diaz said, “Since you believe you’re the face of MCW Wrestling, then let me give you a first look at your new boss. the new MCW Commissioner is…SHASTA!” (I was right!)
Shasta came out to the ring as Vaughn’s jaw dropped to the mat and told people that things have been great, but they’re about to get a whole lot better. And as for Vaughn, Shasta said that he may not be allowed to wrestle in an MCW ring at this time, but he swore to make Vaughn’s life a living hell! (A side note — if you know anything of the matches that Vaughn and Shasta have had, then you know that last statement was no idle threat — it was a bonafide guarantee!)
In the opening matchup, it was the Unholy Acolyte Isaac Alter taking on Krazy, who was in control for most of the match. Out of the blue, Mary ran to the back, and the next thing we hear is the voice of MalachI, saying something about how his “following has grown”, and introduced the newest member of his flock, a large and masked creature called Ezekiel Alter. Out from the back came Mary, holding a metal chain that was wrapped around Ezekiel’s neck like a leash! This distraction gave Isaac the opening he needed to start beating down Krazy as Ezekiel entered the ring. Both Alters (lord, I’m hoping these two aren’t related in any form outside the name. . .that’s got to be one scary family if they are)worked Krazy over for several moments, Isaac finishing Krazy off with a frog splash; the trio then left the ring and returned to the back. Apparently the match was a no-contest (I couldn’t hear the call that well. . .).
Larry Lavender’s musical entrance was cut short when Big Hurt came out and nailed him with a kendo stick! Man, talk about a music critic. . .Big Hurt then took a mic and had something on his mind, but due to the boos from the crowd, damn if I knew what he was saying.
Oh well, probably wasn’t all that important.
The newest stars of the MCW roster, the Young Studs, soundly defeated the Rootin’ Tootin’ Buckaroos (we had BOTH Buckaroos in the ring — a rare sight)when Eric Ryan went to the top rope and did a moonsault onto one Buckaroo(still can’t keep them straight), who then rolled out to let his brother, Buckaroo 2 in. Eric knocked him down, while Bobby Beverly climbed up to the top rope and gave Buckaroo 2 a Flying Legdrop. Eric took the opening to take the three-count and the win.
Mike Hercum came out to the ring with a microphone in hand. Just what we needed to hear, more bragging. He managed to get out the words “Welcome to the show…”, but anything after that was kind of lost in the boos from the crowd — until familiar music begins to play. . .and out came Wilbur Whitlock! Just before the fight evn came close to starting, MCW security broke the two apart; Shasta came out and ordeed that the Main Event for the evening would be Hercum defending his Elite Championship Title against Wilbur Whitlock (who, for my money, is the rightful champion)! From the sheer volume of the cheers, I think everyone approved.
“Killer” Chris Kole and “Mr. Insanity” Toby Klein faced off in the next match. It started with both trying to outdo each one another in a excellent show of chain wrestling, then progressed to Kole suplexing Toby onto the bare floor (man, that just hurt to watch), but ended with Toby scoring a schoolboy pin on Kole for the 1-2-3.
But apparently things weren’t over just yet.
Out to the ring came Jebediah and Dr. Dale Pierce. The doctor took the mic and started into one of his near-incoherent rants, but then I managed to catch him saying something about Toby’s pregnant girlfriend, who happened to be in the crowd. Dr.Dale then made a comment about how “the world didn’t need another bastard child” and threatened to basically give the girl an abortion with his cane.
Oh. My. God.
I thought I’d heard it all. But this. . .
I’ll tell you something, folks. . .I’ve always said that I try to be unbiased when I write my reviews, I really try my best. . .but damnit, I’m a human being, and I have my limits. It takes a lot to shock the Rev, and this shocked me.
This was over the line. Way over the line.
Toby rushed out, looking for all the world like the Wrath of God made real. But Jebediah and the Doctor got to him, handcuffed him to the ropes, and worked him over with what looked like a pair of barbed wire brass knuckles.
They left Toby wearing what the late Gordon Solie would call “the crimson mask”. People were actually turning their heads from the sight, but I didn’t.
Jebediah, Dr. Dale. . .I can only hope you two have made peace with whatever God you follow. . .and to quote Jeff Jarrett, you better make the checks out to Satan, because there’ll be Hell to pay — and soon.
Okay, enough of that — move on, Rev.
Jessicka Havok faced newcomer Allison K, and I have to say that for a newbie, Allison seemed to have no idea as to what she’d signed on for this night. I give her a “B-“ for effort, but when you’re facing someone the likes of a Jessicka Havok, you need to bring your “A” game, or just don’t show at all. Allison tried her finisher twice, but got blocked once before Jessicka reversed the second try and rolled her up for the win. Better luck next time, Allison.
After being robbed of the Elite Championship, Wilbur exacted a measure of payback on Mike Hercum in the Main Event. But when the ref was knocked out, Mike rolled out, got the belt, and decked Wilbur with it. He then rolled the semi-conscious ref over, rolled Wilbur up for the pin as the ref SLLLOOOWWWLLLYYY counts 3 and with that, Hercum retained the title.
Well, MCW has started the month of May off with a bang — and on May 15th, we’ll see what the fallout of all this will be at MAYDAY II.
Until then, I am the Reverend Rogue Six, and I’ll see you at ringside!
NOTE: This review was written after watching raw footage of the show; I had planned to attend in person, but was called out of town at the last minute on a personal matter; thus, I was unable to be there.
MCW Returns to Alliance, OH on 5/01/10
Posted on April 30, 2010 by V.L. Stricklett
Main Event Championship Wrestling returns to The Wrestleplex in Alliance, OH tomorrow evening to present: Mayday 2010! Doors open at 7:00 PM and bell time is 7:30 PM. Advance tickets are $10.00 or can be purchased at the door for $12.00 each. Kids, 10 and under, get in free with an adult purchase!
April Ambush ended in controversy with Heavyweight Champion, Christian Vaughn faking a serious knee injury to retain his title over Justin Diaz who was competing after a brutal attack by Vaughn and Big Hurt earlier in the show.
Not to be outdone, Mike Hercum …captures the brand new Elite Championship after he was eliminated in the Elite Elimination Match. Apparently the referees were busy breaking up a fight between Jebediah and Mr. Insanity which caused them to miss Hercum going over the top rop and giving Wilbur Whitlock the win. Hercum used a chair to hit Wilbur and tossed him through the MIDDLE ropes. The refs turned in time to see Wilbur hit the floor and eliminated him.
What’s going to happen at Mayday 2010? You’ll have to be there to find out. May 1st & May 15th in Alliance, OH! We will also make our long awaited return to Mansfield, OH on May 29th.
Results – MCW at The MCW Wrestleplex – 4/17/10
Posted on April 18, 2010 by Reverend Rogue Six
The Rev reviews MCW: April Ambush II on April 17, 2010 from The MCW Wrestleplex in Alliance, OH.
The MCW Heavyweight Champion, Christian Vaughn, decided to start the evening off by gracing the crowd with his presence. There was something different about him this night. . .couldn’t put my finger on it. . .oh wait. . .it was his hair! His hair looked normal! Which was kind of a pity, because I was starting to get used to it. . .and oh, yes, his little entourage wasn’t following him.
Evidently the champ had something on his mind, but it was hard to make it out, over the “VAUGHN’S A PUSSY” chants. I could hear something about his previous title thefts – I mean, defenses, and was starting to comment about his match with Brain Damage and some surprise news that he had, when MCW Commissioner Justin Diaz came out to the ring. While the crowd chanted “VAUGHN SUCKS DICK”, Diaz mentioned how odd it is that no one’s heard from Brain Damage this evening, and how “suspicious” it looked that Vaughn was out in the ring by himself. This prompted him to ask the question of the night (and this gets my Quote of the Night award for its timing): “By the way, Vaughn, where’s your whore?” After the crowd’s cheers quieted down, Diaz added that since Brain Damage wasn’t to be found, he had another idea; Vaughn interrupted, saying that he wanted to prove to the crowd that he was “a fighting champion”, and since he was scheduled to defend the MCW title, he’d defend it — against Justin Diaz. Just as Diaz accepted the challenge, Big Hurt appeared out of the back and nailed Diaz with a chair! Vaughn ordered Hurt to bring Diaz into the ring, where he put the chair over Diaz’s body, climbed to the top turnbuckle — and came off with a sick two-footed stomp on the chair! Vaughn then took the mic back, looked down on Diaz, and said “Guess I’ll see you tonight. . .”
Crew Spence took on Aero in the opening match. Now, I’ve always been an admirer of Aero’s, but I have to say that Spence impressed me a bit with his moves in this contest. He had quite an arsenal of offense, but he couldn’t seem to contend very well with Aero’s style of wrestling at times; he was even letting the crowd get to him as well. But after a mistimed move, Spence caught Aero and nailed him with what looked like a variation on Chavo Guererro’s Gory Bomb to score the pinfall.
Killer Sensation came out to the ring, and Chris Kole took a few moments for some obligatory trash talk about their opponents — the new team of the Young Studs: Eric Ryan and Bobby Beverly. Just as he called them out to the ring, the duo came out and hit the ring running. The Studs tried posing for the crowd a little too early after the opening volley of blows, and of course, they paid for that. Shane and Kole cut Eric Ryan off from his corner for several minutes (sound strategy, can’t argue with that), but when Eric got away and managed to tag in his partner, that’s when (to quote Jim Ross), business picked up! Things looked bad for the Studs just as Kole suplexed Ryan — but out of nowhere, Beverly rolled Kole up after getting rid of Shane and scored the upset of the night by pinning Chris for the 3-count!
From the shocked looks on the faces of Killer Sensation, I can say that they made one fatal error: they underestimated their opponents. I heard someone in the crowd say it best: “About time someone took those two down a notch. . .”
Wilbur Whitlock faced off with newcomer The Hawaiian Lion, who came to the ring sporting Samoan face paint and tribal tattoos on his upper right chest and shoulder. Lion didn’t seem all that impressed with Wilbur, who took control of the match right away. Lion had some impressive moves of his own, hitting a T-Bone suplex on Wilbur and lighting him up with chops and kicks that made me think of Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, and a little of Samoa Joe in their style; he even surprised me when he hit Wilbur with a Hawaiian Hammer (I’d have said “Polish”, but. . .) after an Irish whip. Wilbur responded by going for the Whitlock Cutter, but ended up on the wrong end of a release suplex. Lion then caught Wilbur with a Roaring Elbow that did some damage, but when he went for it a second time, Wilbur hit the Whitlock Cutter again and scored the pinfall.
I have to say, I liked this Hawaiian Lion, and hopefully we’ll see more of him in future shows.
In what would be the most unique match of the night, Jebediah (with Dr. Dale Pierce)teamed up with Big Hurt and Mike Hercum to face the team of Luscious Larry Lavender, Krazy, and “Mr. Insanity” Toby Klein in a very off-beat six-man tag match that saw both teams huddle like football players, Toby using his tag partners as battering rams to clear the ring, a game of rock-paper-scissors between Larry, Krazy, and Toby to decide who’d start the match for their team, and more muggings then Central Park on a Saturday night. It seemed that the team of Jebediah, Hurt, and Hercum had the upper hand for most of the match, due to an easily-distracted referee, but after a Krazy Krunch on Jebediah and a “Shake, Rattle, and Roll” leg drop from Luscious Larry, the tide had been turned, and the team of Luscious Larry, Krazy, and “Mr. Insanity” came out the winners!
The Heavyweight Championship match looked like it was going to be a forfeit win for the champion (which I think was what he was hoping for, in my opinion), but to his credit, Justin Diaz did come to the ring, his ribs taped and in obvious pain, from the look on his face. Vaughn centered his attacks on Diaz’s ribs while spouting an endless stream of trash talk, but the Commissioner wasn’t going to just roll over and die; he managed to give nearly as well as he got, but every move cost Diaz a measure of pain. But regardless of how often Justin was hit, Vaughn simply couldn’t pin him! Diaz seemed to get a second wind, and began nailing Vaughn with everything and anything for several moments, until Vaughn hit Diaz with a gut buster that seemed to injure his knee. He laid on the mat, gripping his knee; this brought out several people from the back to lend aid. Something told me this wasn’t entirely kosher. . .there was something wrong with this picture. . .and just as Vaughn reached up and grabbed Diaz for a school-boy rollup and the quickest 3-count I’d ever seen in awhile, I knew I was right.
Justin looked visibly frustrated as Vaughn left the ring, and he wasn’t the only one; I heard numerous comments of “That’s BS” throughout the crowd, along with “he had that match won. . .”
I’m awarding Commissioner Diaz my “Iron Man” Trophy for his prowess in this match, holding his own, even though injured.
The rules for the 20-man Elite Championship Battle Royal were simple: you eliminate your opponents by throwing them over the top rope, and the last man left is the new MCW Elite Champion. Pretty much MCW’s Royal Rumble, but it would get the job done. . .
First to the ring came Isaac Alter, with MalachI and Mary in tow, soon to be joined by Supa Lucha.
The Battle Royal went like this: Big Hurt was next, followed by Chiyudo Ropa and Otis (who was eliminated by Hurt). . .Isaac Alter was taken out by Hurt as well. . .
Crew Spence came out, followed by Mike Hercum, who eliminated Ropa. . .then came Luscious Larry Lavender, Chris Kole, Hawaiian Lion, Eric Ryan, and Wilbur Whitlock. . . Spence was eliminated by Eric Ryan. . .Big Hurt was taken out by Luscious Larry. . . Jebediah entered next, followed by Bobby Beverly and then Krazy. . . Eric Ryan was eliminated by Chris Kole. . .and then out went Luscious Larry at the hands of — BIG HURT?
Sweet cream on an ice cream sandwich, where the blue hell were the refs?
Next came Nikki Skidz. . .then out came “Mr. Insanity” Toby Klein and then Shane Sensation. . .(man, it’s hard to keep this all straight, lemme tell you) . . . Lucha and Skidz were taken out by Shane Sensation. . .Aero entered next. . .Hawaiian Lion and Bobby Beverly were eliminated by Kole and Shane. . . Shane was then dispatched by Aero, and Krazy was removed by Wilbur. . .Chris Kole was removed by Aero, who then taken out by Jebediah, who was then dispatched by “Mr. Insanity” Toby Klein (who ended up taking himself out as well). . .Wilbur took out Mike Hercum — and just as it looked like we had a new Elite Champion, Hercum snuck in behind Wilbur with a chair, blasted him with it, and then rolled him out! The refs looked back to the ring and saw Hercum there where Wilbur had just been, then called for the bell and awarded Hercum the belt!! WTF??
As the boos rose in volume, along with chants of “BULLSHIT!”, Hercum celebrated his win – until Wilbur came back in himself and administered one Whitlock Cutter on the new champ. The crowd began to chant “TAKE THE BELT”, and from the look in Wilbur’s eyes, he was sorely tempted. . .but instead left it draped on Hercum’s chest.
An excellent show of restraint, Wilbur.
(You know something, folks — I try my best to remain impartial and unbiased when I review things. . .I really do. But even the Rev has his limits. I don’t think I’ve ever seen referees blow calls this badly since the last World Series that the Yankees won. . .I mean, good lord. . .and Logan Scott wasn’t even involved in this match! Gentlemen, due to your actions, I’m currently talking with the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe about filing a class action lawsuit against the Ohio Referees’ Union for gross malpractice. You‘ll be hearing from them soon, mark my words.)
So we now have an Elite Champion. How long can he hold the belt — and who’ll be the one to take it from him?
Until next time, I’m the Reverend Rogue Six, and I’ll see you at ringside!
Results – MCW at The MCW Wrestleplex – 4/03/10
Posted on April 4, 2010 by Reverend Rogue Six
The Rev reviews MCW: April Ambush on April 3, 2010 from The MCW Wrestleplex in Alliance, OH.
The show began on a rather somber note, with a tolling of the ring bell in memory of former WCW/WWE wrestler Chris Kanyon, who had been found dead the day before. Kanyon was known first as the masked wrestler Mortis, as well as a partner of Diamond Dallas Page.
Following the moment of silence, Commissioner Justin Diaz and his assistant Dick Jeremy came to the ring, Jeremy carrying the new MCW Elite title belt. Diaz started off by explaining that last time he’d tried to explain about the new title, but had been interrupted by Mike Hercum; he wanted to try again. The Elite Championship was going to be awarded to the winner of the first Elite Elimination match, which would be a 20-man over-the-top battle royal. The last man left in the ring would then be awarded the belt. If any wrestler wanted to enter the match, he’d have to see Dick Jeremy — and they’d have to act fast, because there were only 20 spots. Then Diaz caught himself; “What am I saying? There’s actually 19 spots — because I’m the first entrant!”
Following the Commissioner’s departure, the familiar strains of Motley Crue began to play, heralding the arrival of Nikki Skidz — who seemed to have more bandanas tied on his boots then before.
Then Johnny Cash began to play, and out came Wilbur Whitlock, ready for action.
Nikki had several moments of excellent offense in the early going, even managing to knock Wilbur off a top turnbuckle to the floor, but cockiness began to set in with a lax cover on Wilbur after a DDT, then when Nikki went for a 2nd Russian Leg Sweep, Wilbur countered out of it and hit Skidz with the Whitlock Cutter for the win.
I’m giving this match my “Little Bit Country, Little Bit Rock-n-Roll” Award just for the pairing alone. And Nikki, a piece of advice — cut back on the bandanas. Not only were they slipping off your boots, the look’s been done.
Nick Andrews announced the next seven entrants to the Elite Elimination match — “Killer” Chris Kole, Shane Sensation, Aero, Crew Spence, “Mr. Insanity” Toby Klein, Isaac Alter, and Chiyudo Ropa!
“Jesus Loves the Little Children” began to play, and at first I thought Isaac Alter had a match. No, this time it was just MalachI, who apparently wanted to take some time for a brief sermon on Easter. But no one could hear him over the boos and jeers of the crowd, so thanks for coming, Mal. (Well, that was interesting. . .)
Crew Spence came out for the next match, and I’ve got to say, it looks like he keeps getting more tattoos. Then again, he also looks like he’s wrestling in his briefs (but I could be wrong). His opponent for tonight would be none other then Supa Lucha, who received a hero’s welcome as he came to the ring. The match started out with Spence making several attempts at an offense, but Lucha seemed to be 2-3 moves ahead of him every time! Lucha blasted Spence with a flurry of arm drags and dropkicks that left Crew on his back more then (insert your own metaphor here). Lucha then sent Spence out of the ring, but missed with a baseball slide that might have put Crew into the nearest wall, had it connected. Spence, however, began coming back with surprising moves, and even managed to survive Lucha’s flip Rock Bottom off the top rope. He caught Lucha and then set him up for what can be best described as a spinning Gory Special that dropped Lucha on his head and gave Crew Spence the win!
For that finisher, I’m awarding Crew Spence my “Damn, now THAT was impressive” Award.
Nick Andrews had more entrants to announce: Jebediah, Wilbur Whitlock, one of the Rootin’ Tootin’ Buckaroos (not sure which one), Eric Ryan, Nikki Skidz, and someone named Bobby Beverly (???). If you’re scratching your head on that last name, you’re not the only one.
Chiyudo Ropa came out for the next match, and his opponent would be — oh, Ropa got the fuzzy end of the lollipop on this one — Big Hurt, who came to the ring amidst chants of “SELLOUT”. Something told me that this match wasn’t going to be pretty, and as usual, I was right. Chiyudo tried his best to try to get something going, but Hurt’s sheer power was just too much for the masked wonder. Ropa got a few good shots in, especially with a Shining Wizard in the corner, but one inverted suplex later, Hurt got his hand raised, and Chiyudo was trying to remember where he was at and why he was there. . .
Dr. Dale Pierce and Jebediah came out to the ring, and it seemed that the good doctor had something on his mind; with the sounds of the crowd booing him like they had MalachI, well, damn if I could figure out what it was. It was probably something fairly profound, but – oh well. . .
Nick had some more entries to announce: Big Hurt, Luscious Larry Lavender, Otis (Otis??) Mike Hercum, Krazy, and Supa Lucha. And unless my math is fuzzy, that made the twenty.
Next out to the ring came the surliest-looking man on the MCW roster, Mike Hercum, who took it upon himself to shred a fan’s “Jobber of the Year” sign after reading it. Yeah, that’s the way to get the crowd with you, boyo. His opponent would be none other then Amityville’s favorite son, Krazy, who clearly had the crowd with him. As Krazy got in the ring, Hercum bailed out, earning himself a chant of “PUSSY”. (Sorry about that, Mike, but the crowd calls ’em as they see ’em)
Krazy led most of the match, which went out of the ring for several moments after a suicide dive from Krazy onto Hercum, and Krazy even nailed Mike with a missile dropkick that took him halfway across the ring. But it’s always that one mistake that can cost you, and for Krazy, it came when Hercum dodged a second missile dropkick; this was enough of an opening for him to slap on the sharpshooter — and Krazy finally tapped out.
I may be off here, but I’m giving this match my “MATCH OF THE NIGHT” Award. It was that good.
The next match was announced as a non-title match, so I had a fairly good idea of who one participant was. . .and when “Taking Care of Business” started to play, I knew who the challenger would be. Luscious Larry Lavender came out to the ring singing, and this time was rocking a gold and purple Elvis-style cape.
Next came the MCW Heavyweight Champion, Christian “Captain Hair” Vaughn, with his entourage of Minka Murder and Big Hurt in tow.
[I need to take a moment for an aside; I recently had a long chat with my father, Ol’ Rogue Five, and he had a confession to make -- some years ago, in his travels, he had an inadvertent fling one night with a peacock, but never knew if anything had come of it. So there’s a slight chance, by the way of his hair, that Christian Vaughn and I may just be *gasp* half-brothers! More to come on this. . .]
The crowd was ready for the trio, as chants of “VAUGHN’S A FAGGOT” alternated with “SHE’S GOT HERPES”.
Larry started off by going for the most obvious target — the hair. After getting it mussed up, Vaughn bailed out of the ring like a scalded cat and told Nick Andrews that he wouldn’t wrestle until his hair was properly fixed.
Oh. My. Lord. And this is the MCW Heavyweight Champion?
But I digress.
Larry went for the hair a few more times, sending Vaughn out of the ring. As a ten-count began, Larry stopped it, and took the mic (here I paraphrase): “Now I know what got Big Hurt to sell out the way he did. . .if you can see, Minka’s wearing a brace on one hand. . .looks like she’s been giving someone a little extra action — if you know what I mean.” Oh yeah, Larry, we got the message.
The Luscious One surprised me by the attacks he waged on Vaughn, especially the Randy Savage-style top-rope double ax-handle smash he gave Vaughn, but as always, when you wrestle the champ, it’s a 3-on-1 handicap; Minka and Hurt managed to interject themselves at key moments. (While this all went on, a brand new chant started that got under Minka’s skin: “CRABS JUMP SIX FEET”.)
Despite a valiant effort, Luscious Larry ended up getting pinned by Vaughn, and suffered a highly-unnecessary post-match assault by Vaughn and his loyal minion.
This brought Commissioner Diaz out to the ring, who said to the champ: “I hope you’re glad you didn’t have to defend the title tonight. . .because I wanted you to have a little warmup for the next show — where you’ve got a very special title defense coming up. . .and I think you know who it’ll be with. . .in fact, there he is!” The trio quickly looked behind them, and Diaz laughed as he said (amidst a hearty round of “VAUGHN’S A PUSSY”) “In two weeks, it’ll be — for the MCW Heavyweight Championship — Christian Vaughn versus Brain Damage!” Let’s just say that Vaughn didn’t take the news all that well. (Champ — were I you, I’d check my life insurance and make my peace with God. . .just in case.)
Dr. Dale Pierce and Jebediah came out for the main event, and Jebediah’s opponent for the evening was none other then “Mr. Insanity” Toby Klein. Toby got in the ring and immediately chased everyone — including the referee, who got a noogie – and then started chewing on the top rope. (I’ve heard of pre-match snacks, but. . .) The match began evenly, neither gaining an advantage for long; when Jebediah drove Toby’s head into the top turnbuckle, he stopped, gave Jebediah an “are you serious” look, then proceeded to drive his own head into the same buckle!
The match continued on, where it spilled out into the crowd. At this point, the doctor interjected (or is that injected?) himself and his favorite goat’s-foot cane into the mix by choking Toby with it. The fight went back into the ring and then out again, where Toby drove both Dr. Dale and Jebediah’s skulls together. At one point, Toby went up top, but Dr. Dale nailed Toby in the ribs — this gave Jebediah the opening to hit the Haybaler and pin Toby for the win.
What a way to bring in Easter. . .
The stage is now set for the crowning of a new champion – and might we see the dethroning of another one?
Until next time, I’m the Reverend Rogue Six, and I’ll see you at ringside!
NOTE: This review is dedicated to the memory of my personal mentor, a man who was instrumental in my life and helped me to find the Rogue within and release him. The Old Warhorse passed away on St. Patrick’s Day, and my life’s a little emptier now without my old friend. Chief, this is for you.

Posted on March 26, 2010 by Reverend Rogue Six
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!
Results – MCW: X Anniversary Show – 3/06/10
Posted on March 8, 2010 by Reverend Rogue Six
THE REV REVIEWS: MCW “X” – 10TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW on March 6, 2010 from The MCW Wrestleplex in Alliance, OH.
There are, in life, those rare moments when you get to be a part of history. For years, you’ll look back on that certain moment and remember it like it was yesterday. On March 6th, 2010, over 400 people will be able to remember the night of MCW’s 10th Anniversary Show and the sights they witnessed that very night. And as for myself, I’m proud to count myself as part of this select group of witnesses.
The evening began with Nick Andrews coming out to get the crowd warmed up with a little “who’s-the-loudest-section” contest, and of course, the Riot Zone was in full effect. At one point in the contest, Nick asked “How is it that one little section is louder then the rest of the place?” A good question — my theory is that none of us drink THAT much Red Bull . . . But that’s my own opinion, yours may vary. Miss Sarah came to the ring (looking incredible as always) to get the first match started, and we were off and running.
Out first to the ring came one-half of the Rootin’ Tootin’ Buckaroos, Rex Rootin’. He was fired up and ready to go, even giving Miss Sarah a little Texas Two-Step. Motley Crue’s “Girls, Girls, Girls” began to play, heralding the arrival of Nikki Skidz — who had apparently given himself a bit of an image makeover; the “big hair” he’d been sporting for some time was gone (and the ozone layer thanks you for that, Nikki), and replaced with a spiked Mohawk/bandanna combo. He was even wearing bandannas around his legs and his boots (By the way, Nikki, Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson want to have a little chat with you; I’m told it’s something about copyright infringement…). What can I say? Sometimes, change is good.
Rex went on the offensive early, taking control of the match — that is, until he stopped to play to the crowd; this gave Nikki a chance to tag the Buckaroo with a low blow that slowed the momentum of the match for a bit. Rex managed to get off a sunset flip (which was a surprise), and Nikki managed to score several near-pinfalls on him throughout the match. When Rex went up to the top (albeit a little slowly) and went for a top-rope elbow rope, he crashed and burned instead as Nikki moved and rolled him up for the 3-count! SKIDS WINS! SKIDS WINS! BY GAWD! SKIDS WINS! (And that was my Jim Ross moment for the night.)
Big Hurt came out for the next match to a rather mixed response, due to his actions in the title match at the last show. Hurt had also changed his look a little, sporting an RVD-style singlet. “Taking Care of Business” started up, and out came Luscious Larry Lavender, wearing an Elvis-style cape. Not bad.
When he got in the ring with Hurt, I could see an obvious size difference, Big Hurt a head or so taller then Larry. But the crowd was definitely with Larry, so maybe that could give him an edge that he could use. . .
Larry seemed to be favoring a speed style of attack throughout the match, which seemed to work best when he could catch the big man off guard — which wasn’t all that often. Big Hurt was going with his favorite style of attack: power, sheer power. He also seemed to focus a lot of his assault on Larry’s back. (A sound strategy, can’t fault Hurt for it.) Larry did manage to catch the big man with several different moves, ranging from a swift enzugiri and neck-breaker that conjured up memories of the Honky-Tonk Man to even a Hot Shot off the ring apron. But after Hurt dropped Larry after catching him off the top rope, he slid out of the ring and got a chair from under the ring. Coming back in, he prepared to part the Luscious One’s skull with it, only to have Larry catch it in mid-swing, drop it to the mat, and DDT’d Big Hurt on it! The referee saw the chair in the ring, an unconscious Big Hurt, and immediately disqualified Larry, giving the win to Big Hurt! Hurt gave a post-match spine-buster to Larry, who knocked down the referee after he got up from the mat.
Mike Hercum came out for his challenge match against Justin Diaz, and from the look on Mike’s face, he was ready to fight. Diaz came out (okay, there’s no good way to write this sentence, so bear with me) next, followed by his “personal assistant” Dick Jeremy. Diaz started the mind games early, messing with Hercum several times as they tried to get going, even nearly kissing Mike on the tip of his nose! Hercum responded by slapping the taste right out of Diaz’s mouth, and Diaz returned the favor by sneaking a low shot in that left Hercum somewhat incapacitated for a few moments. Then things got serious. The momentum of the match was almost pendulum-like, swinging back and forth between both men, until Hercum was able to ground Diaz on the mat with a submission hold that put all pressure on Diaz’s back — his seriously-injured back. This sent Dick Jeremy into a sheer panic; He climbed up on the apron and attempted to distract Hercum with his “charms”, even going so far as to pull Hercum’s head into his chest (god, I needed a mental shower after seeing that — excuse me, I need another one just from the memory. . .there, now I feel better. . .) This, believe me or not, actually was enough of a distraction that allowed Diaz to execute a top-rope dive that took Hercum out. He got Mike back in the ring, and whipped him into a corner, where Hercum dropped to the mat. Diaz signaled for a Bronco Buster, and he hit it on target. Diaz then got him up and hit what looked like a double-underhook bulldog that drove Hercum into the mat — and from the impact, Diaz seemed to have paid for the move as well, re-injuring his back. As the ref checked Diaz over, he ordered Hercum back to a neutral corner — but Hercum pushed past the ref and wrapped Justin up in a sharpshooter, cinched it, and reared back. Dick Jeremy kept screaming “Stop it – he’s had enough!”, but Hercum refused to let go. The ref then signaled to ring the bell and awarded the match to Mike; I couldn’t tell from my vantage point, but I’m figuring that Diaz must’ve blacked out from the pain of the sharpshooter. As Mike celebrated his victory to a chorus of boos from the crowd, the ref and Jeremy slowly got Diaz out of the ring and took him to the back amidst cheers from everyone.
As things calmed down, Nick and Miss Sarah came back to the ring, Sarah carrying what looked like a new championship belt. This was the new Elite Championship belt, and we found out that a new MCW Elite Champion would be crowned in April. I don’t know about anyone else, but color me curious. . .
Super Oprah came out for the next match — and as I’ve said before, if you’ve never seen Super Oprah, words don’t capture her; Super Oprah must be experienced. That’s all I’ll say. Next came Jessicka Havok, much to the cheers of the crowd and much to Oprah’s dismay. Things started out with Super Oprah trying a few mind games on Jessicka, even going for (what I still call the most disgusting finisher ever seen) the Tampon Claw early. But Jessicka had the presence of mind to move — and the poor ref ended up taking the Claw
As both left the ring, the ring crew came out and began securing 4 Singapore Canes in the ringposts.
Dr. Dale Pierce (although Sarah referred to him as “Time Traveller” — don’t know why) came out, leading his man Jebediah to the ring. From the look on Jebediah’s face, he looked ready for a battle — then again, he usually looks that way, come to think of it. . .Dr. Dale was looking confident. Wilbur Whitlock came out next, to the cheers of the crowd and the strains of Johnny Cash. He got in the ring with Jebediah, and the match was on! Jebediah went on the attack early and kept at Wilbur, who stopped him with a spear that knocked him to the mat. This allowed Wilbur to get the first cane free, but he didn’t have it long; Jebediah got a hold of it and began using it on Wilbur. He dropped it, and got a fresh one for himself. At one point, Jebediah actually had a cane in each hand, and before you knew it, all 4 canes were in play. Jebediah even grounded Wilbur with a low shot, and broke out a move I hadn’t seen in awhile – the Garvin Stomp (I know the WWE calls it the “Orton Stomp”, but Ronnie Garvin used it first, so I’m going with the original name). Dr. Dale and Jebediah got Wilbur over the second rope; Dale held him in place while Jebediah administered an old-fashioned whipping across Wilbur’s back (and if you think it hurt to watch it, you’d be right!).Wilbur mounted a comeback, executing a perfect White Russian Leg Sweep (shades of the Sandman) on Jebediah, and even got him with a dive through the second and top ropes – armed with a cane! But when Wilbur inadvertently hit the ref while suplexing Jebediah, this let Dr. Dale in the ring, armed with his goat-foot cane. Jebediah held Wilbur in place as Dr. Dale charged with the cane – and at the right moment, Wilbur dropped down, with Jebediah taking the cane shot instead! Wilbur got a cane and parted Dr. Dale’s hat with it, dropping him, then hit Jebediah and followed with a Whitlock Cutter for the win! As the crowd cheered, Wilbur raised the cane in salute.
(For this match, I’m awarding Wilbur Whitlock my “Sandman Hardcore Icon” Award for his cane-swinging skill this night.)
Nick Andrews came back to the ring, and was joined by MCW Original GQ Status, who helped psych the crowd up even more.
They left the ring as Sarah came back for the next match, which was the 6-Way Cruiserweight Gauntlet match.
First to the ring was Krazy, then came Isaac Alter, along with Malachi and Mary (who was wearing a white choir robe — this was a welcome change from her usual garb, but white? C’mon, Mary, God’s gonna get you for lying. . .).
Krazy lit up Isaac early with chops, and nailed him with a flying Codebreaker just as Crew Spenser hit the ring — and good lord, was he wrestling in his briefs? — to join the party.
Next came Supa Lucha, who quickly took everyone out. The action spilled outside, where Crew went up and took out Krazy and Isaac with a dive — not to mention Malachi as well! Not to be outdone, Lucha went up and did the very same thing!(I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — a MCW Cruiserweight match doesn’t need a ref as much as it needs an air traffic control tower!)
Next to the mix came Eric Ryan, as fights went out in and out of the ring. Supa Lucha nailed Isaac Alter with a Burrito Driver to score the first elimination — so long, Isaac, thanks for coming.
Eric Ryan then caught Lucha with a Buckle Bomb just as the final guest came to the party: Aero! Krazy, meanwhile, took out Spense with a Krazy Krunch to score the second elimination — so long, Spense, come back when you can stay longer. . . Four were now left in the ring. As they sized each other up, we saw the first “Round the Horn” knife-edge chop that went one way, then back again (there’s something you don’t see every day); next came a 3-on-1 group chop centered on Eric Ryan, who ate a Supa Lucha super kick to become the 3rd man eliminated. See ya, Eric! Aero caught Lucha with a Gory Special that Lucha got out of, and Krazy found himself on the wrong end of a rolling superplex from Lucha. Aero got Lucha with a second Gory Special for the 4th elimination; you gave a damn good fight, Lucha. Krazy nailed Aero with a top-rope senton, but in the end, Aero nailed Krazy with a spinning neck breaker to score the final elimination and win the Gauntlet match!
Matt “M-D20” Cross came out to the ring for the next match, dressed in full Roman Legionnaire garb — all he was missing was the armor and helmet. But on him, it looked good. When the crowd started barking, that meant only one thing: “Mr. Insanity” Toby Klein was coming to the ring. They started things off with a burst of chain wrestling that ended with a double kip-up and a round of applause from the crowd. Cross drove Toby’s head into the turnbuckle — which made Toby stop, pause, and then drive his OWN head into the buckle several more times. You could see the look on Matt’s face — “What the hell did I sign on for?” The match spilled out of the ring and around the crowd, who got to participate in things by holding each wrestler for a few chops. Toby got a vaulting Hot Shot off on Matt, who then caught Toby with a Death Valley Driver in return. Moments later, Matt then went for his split-legged moonsault, only to eat nothing but canvas; Toby hit his corkscrew splash for the pinfall. After the match, Toby offered a hand to Matt and helped him to his feet in a show of respect.
All this action — and we still had a Double Main Event!
In the first of the two Main Events, TNA star Desmond Wolf came to the ring to a well-received response. He even gave Miss Sarah his shades as well. Nice touch. Then came the MCW Heavyweight Champion, Christian Vaughn — and oh sweet Molly Malone, what the hell was with his hair? Vaughn looked like he’d been mugged by Don King’s barber; his hair looked like a turkey’s tail had been transplanted on his head! This prompted a chant of “VAUGHN’S A FAGGOT” for several moments, to be replaced with the old “SHE’S GOT HERPES” chant for dear Minka. This didn’t sit well with either Vaughn or Minka (like anyone really cared; they still couldn’t get past that freaking head of hair!). Vaughn finally got in the ring, only to have Wolf muss with his hair a few times. Vaughn’s reaction earned him a new chant of “VAUGHN’S A PUSSY”. The match got underway at last, with Wolf in control. The momentum and control of the match went back and forth between the two of them, both giving as good as they got. Even the crowd was involved, with a “TNA – MCW” chant alternating between the sides of the ring. Minka even got herself involved a couple of times, taking a few shots on Desmond and even tripping him up as well. Wolf got Vaughn set up for his Tower of London finisher and hit it, then as he went for the pin, Minka distracted the referee long enough to allow Big Hurt to come out to the ring and pull the ref out as he went to make the count; Christian decked Desmond with a foreign object and went for his own pin — but to his shock, Wolf kicked out at two! Wolf then locked up Vaughn, who quickly tapped out — we had a new Heavyweight Champion! But hold the phone — Minka got in the ring and told something to the ref, who quickly reversed his decision and awarded the match to Christian Vaughn as the result of a disqualification! I’m no detective, but I’m willing to bet that Minka told the ref that Wolf had hit him seconds earlier. Desmond took the mic and said to Vaughn: “This is BullShit! If you have the guts, get back in and let’s do this right!” Vaughn’s answer was a 1-finger salute with each hand as he took his belt and headed for the back.
The ring crew came out and began removing the ring apron panels with the MCW logo on them, as well as spreading the assorted weapons provided by the fans. As it was announced at Holiday Hangover II, this “Fans bring the Weapons” match would be an unsanctioned match. And I must give the MCW fans credit — you guys got very creative with your contributions; you name it, it was out there or in the trash cans or the shopping cart.
Killer Sensation came to the ring first, followed by Brain Damage and Shasta. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that you could almost smell the violence in the air. When the bell rang, Brain Damage and Chris Kole started things off, but then Shane wanted in, calling for Shasta. Shasta called for a tag, Brain Damage shrugged, and tagged him in. Shane rolled past Shasta and hot-tagged Kole back in, then all proverbial hell broke loose! Shane attacked and bloodied the ref for no apparent reason, and the fight spilled out to the ring. Here it gets even more chaotic, so I’ll tell you what I can: Brain Damage decked Kole with the shopping cart. . .a golf club missed Kole’s head and sailed into the crowd (no one was hurt, but they were rather startled). . .Shasta broke a picture frame over Kole’s head. . .Kole used a keyboard on Brain Damage, who responded with a Baron Von Daschle Testicle Claw (a move rarely used by the Baron, I’m told). . .Shasta giving everyone his best Peter Townsend impression before blasting Shane with a guitar (which didn’t break for several blows. . .Brain Damage hitting Shane Sensation with a package piledriver. . .Shasta picking up Shane and delivering a Shasta Driver onto a trash can lid. . .Brain Damage dropping Chris Kole on the red coffin (which STILL didn’t break, although a panel popped out). . .and then Big Hurt, Luscious Larry Lavender, Mike Hercum, Jessicka Havok, Wilbur, Jebediah, Krazy (wearing a Buckaroo’s mask), Isaac Alter, Crew Spense, Supa Lucha, Eric Ryan, Aero, Otis, and GQ Status all came out to join the fight. . .a steel kitchen sink came into play. . .and so did Matt Cross and Toby Klein!
As you can guess, there was no clear winner — only possible survivors. . .woooo, what a night — and what a way to celebrate an anniversary!
Until next time, I am the Reverend Rogue Six, and in the words of The Most Interesting Man in the World, “Stay Extreme, my friends.” I’ll see you at ringside!

Results – MCW: Holiday Hangover II – 2/20/10
Posted on February 26, 2010 by V.L. Stricklett
Greetings, one and all! I’m the Reverend Rogue Six, and this is your Holiday Hangover wrap up. . .
There was an excellent crowd at the Wrestleplex for the show, especially with the letup in the snow and with the Main Event being for the new MCW Heavyweight Championship.
Nick Andrews came out to get the crowd psyched before the show began, reminding everyone that this show was going to be recorded for a DVD; what surprised me was when three other sections of the crowd outperformed the Riot Zone on the first go-around. . .
Nick got out of the ring, and out came MCW’s ring announcer, the ever-lovely Sassy Sarah — who, may I add on a personal note, reinforces my belief in a benevolent God; you don’t get beauty like hers by random chance — to get things started.
Mike Hercum, who came out to the ring with a full mad-on for someone, took on Big Hurt in the opening match. Hurt dominated most of the contest, taking shots from Hercum that seemed to have no effect on him.
If Mike had wrestled as much as he’d spent time arguing with the referee over near-pinfalls and other calls, perhaps his offense would have been better then it was.
However, Hercum managed to get a few good shots in on Big Hurt, mainly stomps, kicks, and chops. He even tried going up on a turnbuckle, but ended up crotched on it for his efforts (man, no matter how many times I see that happen, I cringe). This allowed Big Hurt the opening to catch Hercum and hit a superplex that sounded like a bomb going off when they landed — but it was only worth a 2-count. Even a powerful clothesline and spine buster got the same count for Hurt.
And then it happened: Hurts temper got the better of him as he trapped Hercum in the corner and worked him over with his fists, disregarding the refs 5-count — and earning himself a DQ. Big Hurt and the ref argued outside the ring over the decision, while Mike laid in the ring, resembling something like road kill for several moments until he asked for the house mic: (The following is paraphrased) As much as you hate me, the Riot Zone has the right idea — they shut up when Im talking! Every time I come out here, I put my body on the line, but once again, Im being over-looked! I broke Luchas back the last time I wrestled, and now Im curtain-jerking? Diaz, you’re the Commissioner, get your ass out here now!
Diaz came out to the ring, looking none too pleased with Hercums tirade. Before he could reach the ring, Mike stopped him and told him not to talk. You’ve been bitching too much about your injured neck and back, saying that this is why you cant wrestle right now. . .maybe I need to come out there and just beat your ass. . .
Diaz replied, Yeah, you’re right, I’m injured, but Ill tell you what Ill do — on March 6th, against my doctors orders, Ill face you in the ring. . .and if by some stroke of luck, you manage to beat me, if you should win, you’ll get the title you deserve — but you’re not going to win; after all, Ive beaten you before, what else have you got? Oh, by the way, Diaz added before he returned to the back, Be sure to take out your tampon out before the 6th. . .
Ive got to question Diaz’s wisdom in setting up this match; sure, he wants to show that hes tough and all — but with a broken back and neck? Is shutting Hercum up worth further injury — maybe even career-ending? I don’t know, but I guess well find out soon.
Krazy came out to start the next match, soon followed by a newcomer by the name of Cruz Spencer.
Then more music hit — and out came Supa Lucha! Okay, seems we were going to have a Cruiserweight 3-Way Dance. . .
And then, with the twisted version of Jesus Loves the Little Children, out came the Unholy Acolyte Isaac Alter, with Malach and Mary in tow.
A Cruiserweight 4-Way Dance? Evidently so, as Sarah announced.
When the bell rang, Krazy and Cruz went at it, as did Lucha and Alter. Partners were switched, and Cruz and Isaac went at it outside the ring — until Krazy dove through the ropes and took them down! In a move I didn’t expect, Lucha got the referee to whip him into the ropes, giving him enough momentum to execute a dive of his own and take down all three of them!
After this, things got fast and furious from here (I couldn’t record it all, but here’s a few key points): Issac got Malachi to hold Cruz, who managed to duck just in time to let Isaac level Malachi (Ive heard of laying on of hands, but I dont think that was quite it), Krazy and Supa Lucha went to war on the opposite side of the ring, and Isaac even got back in the ring with Cruz to level him with a very well-done Acid Drop (shades of Spike Dudley). Krazy and Cruz were down, and this let Lucha hit Isaac with a Burrito Driver for the three-count.
Just as Sarah announced Lucha as the winner, out came Dick Jeremy (not in drag, thank you God)with a message from Commissioner Diaz: At the 10th Anniversary Show on March 6th, there was going to be a Cruiserweight Gauntlet match, featuring the 4 cruiserweights in the ring — along with the returns of Aero and Eric Ryan! This would be a match that was definitely going to be needing an air traffic control tower. . .
Jebediah came out to the ring next, leading his advisor, Dr. Dale Pierce — who was sporting a bathrobe, towel around his neck, and green boots. Now, I was under the idea that Jebediah had been banned from the ring for this match — and Nick reminded everyone of that very fact. Jebediah refused to leave, regardless of Nicks pronouncements.
Dr. Dale removed his robe to reveal he was wearing an ensemble that looked right out of the late Andy Kaufmans closet: white long johns, white t-shirt over a thermal long-sleeved shirt, and black trunks over the long johns (good lord. . .and if youre not getting the reference, go to Wikipedia and look up Andy Kaufman, okay?).
While this was going on, out came Wilbur Whitlock, who was not all that thrilled with seeing Jebediah.
Nick then announced that the match wasnt going to start until Jebediah left the ring. He got out of the ring and was half-way to the back — and then turned around, rushed the ring, and attacked Wilbur. It took the entire security staff and 2 refs to get him back there. (The fight must have continued in the locker room area, because a panel of the wall actually popped out from what I was told later was a security member being thrown into it.)
Meanwhile, the bell finally rang, and Dr. Dale managed to take control early on, choking Wilbur constantly, and hitting him constantly with thumb shots to the throat and gouges in the eyes. When he turned to gloat to the crowd, he turned back — and took a Whitlock spear that sent him into the corner! Wilbur then followed up with a series of shots to the Doctors skull that should have put him down — but no matter how many times he got hit, he simply wouldnt go down!
Out from the back, goat-foot cane in hand, came Jebediah running at full-tilt. Wilbur noticed this, and went after Jebediah, only to get a low blow from Dr. Dale in return. Jebediah then proceeded to work over Wilbur with stomps and shots from the cane — then out came a visibly P.Od Commissioner Diaz just as Jebediah was climbing the turnbuckles: Touch him again, and Ill fire you both! Since you seem to like using canes so much, on March 6th, Im going to put canes all around the ring, and itll be Wilbur Whitlock versus Jebediah — Singapore Cane match!
(It was never announced, but Im figuring this was a DQ win for Wilbur. . .)
Sweet Molly Malone — the return of Justin Diaz, a 6-man Cruiserweight Gauntlet, and now the announcement of a Singapore Cane match for March 6th? We were only halfway through the show — what was coming next?
Nick Andrews came back out to the ring, along with Sarah; apparently there were a few announcements to make:
1. MCWs new website — mcwpro.com — was up and running;
2. The Wrestleplex would be looking different in just two weeks, and would be improving over the course of time;
3. The 10th anniversary show would be on March 6th — 10 years weve been doing this? Who knew?
Out came Killer Chris Kole and Shane Sensation — Killer Sensation — to the ring. Kole got in Sarahs face, took the mic and dismissed her, then proceeded to inform the crowd as to how he and Shane Sensation were the greatest team in tag team history, then went off on a rant about how they beat legendary tag teams like the Rock-n-Roll Express, Anderson & Blanchard, and how they won the Crockett Cup; sorry guys, but Ive heard this kind of b.s before — it was lame-sounding then and lame-sounding now. Just saying. Kole then added that they could send anyone out, well just lay the beat-down on em.
Neil Diamonds Cracklin Rosie began to play, and out came one of the most unlikely tag teams since Goldust and Booker T came together: Luscious Larry Lavender (singing with the music) and Chiodo Ropa. They were looking for revenge from the attacks they suffered from Killer Sensation at the last show, and I must give them credit — they managed to get a measure of payback, which told me that Killer Sensation made one slight error; they underestimated their opponents and thought theyd have an easy match. Kole and Shane cut Larry off from Ropa for several minutes in the match — which is a sound strategy, cant fault them for it. But the LLL/Ropa team was able to give as good as they got, even catching their opponents with a Rock Bottom (LLL) and a White Crane Kick (Ropa). Sad to say, this wasnt enough; they got LLL out of the ring and executed a modified 3-D on Ropa for the pinfall. But this wasnt enough for the two of them; they proceeded to work over both men after the bell — until new music hit. . .and out came Brain Damage to the ring! He set up Shane for a package piledriver, but he got out of it and bailed out with Kole. Damage was ready for action, but then the familiar strains of Stranglehold began, heralding the arrival of The Man Himself, Shasta — who asked for the house mic. You boys are probably surprised to see me. . . and from the cheers of the crowd, they were, too.
Ive been listening to the two of you running your mouths about how youre the greatest tag team in the world. . . Well, Ive got two words for that: Bull. Shit! . . . I dont know if you remember a little match we all had at the Canton Civic Center — oh wait, thats right, you dont remember too much of it, because thats where I picked up Shane and Shasta Drived him from fifteen feet on a ladder through two tables, and Brain Damage was dropping a meat hook on [Kole] from the rafters!
Ive got a surprise for the two of you. . .now, you may be wondering just why Shastas out here? Hes supposed to be suspended from all MCW wrestling matches. . .and youre right, I am suspended!
Thats why, on March 6th, its going to be me and this man, Brain Damage, versus Killer Sensation — in a non-sanctioned match! And since I want everyone here to be involved in this match, its going to be a. . .FANS. . .BRING. . .THE. . . WEAPONS match!
When the chant of FANS BRING THE WEAPONS started up, I had a pretty good idea that the crowd liked this idea. Killer Sensation, however — not so much.
Kole took another mic and replied, Hey, well take it — after all, its your funeral!
Shasta replied (as the chant began again), You can call Red Cross in two weeks — because your asses are going to be donating a LOT of blood. Something tells me that in two weeks, the Red Cross could easily meet their quota for Match in one night. . .
Once things calmed down, Jessicka Havok came out to the ring, and once more she seemed to have her reoccurring problem: no opponent to wrestle. And here I am, all geared up and nothing to do.
New music hit — and out came Angel Dust! Jessicka introduced her to the crowd as an old friend, whod evidently come to help her out. The two shook hands, and went at it. From the start, there was a slight mismatch problem — if you dont know Angel Dust, shes about a head and a half or so shorter then Jessicka (think of a blonde version of Rey Mysterio for comparison). I was, I must admit, quite curious as to how this would work out. Jessicka took control early, but Angel was no slouch, utilizing more of a speed/hit-n-run plan which, for the most part, worked until she tried an aerial move — and got caught by Jessicka, who dropped her with a side slam and then set her in a camel clutch for a few moments. The size difference came into play again when Angel went for a crucifix pin, only to have Jessicka reverse it into a Samoan drop. Angel had several more moments of good offense, but Jessicka hit what Id called a wheelbarrow face buster to roll Angel up for the 1-2-3. After the bell, she raised Angels hand in an excellent sign of respect, then hugged her again.
After all of this, it was time for the Main Event of the night: a Falls Count Anywhere/Anything Goes/No Time Limit match for the new MCW Heavyweight Championship.
Christian Vaughn (with Minka Murder at his side) came out to the ring, armed with his red chair and violence on his mind, from the look on his face. Next came Mr. Insanity Toby Klein, who clearly had the crowd with him. Christian tried to stare a hole through Toby, but to no real effect.
Nick Andrews gave a warning to the crowd: If you have MCW wrestlers coming towards you, get the f–k out of the way! Sound advice.
As a SHES GOT HERPES chant started for Minka, the bell rang, and the battle began. Mr. Insanity went on the attack early, working Vaughn over. The fight soon spilled outside the ring, and Toby even got the crowd involved, getting people to hold Vaughns arms while he chopped him several times (I had no idea this would be an audience participation match — thats MCW for you; you never know whats going to happen!)
Christian came back, despite being busted open by Tobys fists, and dished out kicks, an elbow to the head, a knee to the groin, a fist drop to the head, a swinging neck breaker, a chair shot or two to the ribs, stomps, and even a body slam outside the ring on the coffin thats always been ringside (so THATs what it was for — who knew?)
Back in the ring, Christian set two chairs together in a corner, draped a semi-conscious Mr. Insanity on them, and ascended the turnbuckle. Just as he went for a senton splash, Toby moved — and Vaughn hit nothing but steel!
Then a few moments later, Toby picked up Christian and hit what Im calling the Move of the Night — a flying Death Valley Driver off the ring apron and onto the coffin!
And wouldnt you know it — that sucker didnt break!
Toby even picked up the coffin and dropped it on him!
Big Hurt came to the ring and grabbed the chair Christian was about to use on Toby, threatening to hit Vaughn with it himself — but then HOLY DOUBLE CROSS, BATMAN! Hurt blasted Toby with it! Vaughn only got a 2-count out of it, but the damage was done; Christian was able to roll Mr. Insanity up for the three-count, and MCW had a new champion: The Natural Christian Vaughn.
As Minka took off her neck brace and the celebration began, out came Commissioner Diaz.
Congratulations, Christian, on your win. . .and Big Hurt, you made a big mistake. . .Christian, since youre so happy, Id thought Id let you know your first match is going to be on March 6th — and youll be facing none other then Nigel McGuiness; hes known now in TNA as Desmond Wolf — and oh yeah, it will be for the MCW Heavyweight title!
Man, talk about killing a moment. . .but like they say, as soon as you win a belt, you also win a target on your back. Good luck, Christian. . .hope the path you took was worth it.
Tonight, we had the appetizer.
March 6th, we get the main course. . .
Until next time, Im the Reverend Rogue Six, and Ill see you ringside!
