Revolutionary Championship Wrestling’s Injection 7 goes down at 7:30 PM on Saturday June 27, 2009 at the Jackson Memorial Building, 145 Broadway St. in Jackson, OH and features former WWE Superstar, Eugene! Tickets are available now at Jackson Shell’s Mom’s Pizza on Huron Street, and at our Portsmouth locations: Front Row Video, Domino’s, and Castle Comics.
Seven years ago RCW revolutionized the Rumble when they presented the very first Injection Battle Royal! 20 men randomly enter at 2 minute intervals. The only way to get eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope. Once we are down to the final 4, a pinfall must take place to be eliminated. The Final 3 require a Submission. Then, the Final 2 must battle it out in a Table Match. The only way to win is to put your opponent through a table! The Injection Battle Royal is a long, grueling match but one that wrestlers and fans look forward to each year. Past winners include Trik Nasty, Tank Runyon (2x), Judas Thorn, Juggulator, and Dirk Exteme. Those names are some of the elite in RCW so winning the Rumble could propel one’s career far. Here is a list of those that are signed up to be in this year’s 7th Annual Injection Rumble…
Randy “The King” Allen, “Violent” Vance Desmond, Juggulator, Otto Von Boogiemeister, Flash Fury, El Nino, “American Idol” Dirk Extreme, “Bad News” Keith Hamblin, “Genuine” Jock Samson, Brian Cross, “Livewire” Chris Smith, Heavy Metal, Chad Cruise (#20), “The Black Superman” Onyx, Nikki Tyler, Eugene, Tyson Rogers, JD Santos, and two yet to be named mystery entrants!
Also at Injection 7, Tyson Rogers gets one last chance at the RCW Gold as he takes on “American Idol” Dirk Extreme in a match with Tank Runyon once again officiating. It should be interesting to see if Exotic E and company pull any tricks out of their sleeve.
Plus, the end of a career. June 27th will mark the end for either “Livewire” Chris Smith or Randy “The King” Allen’s long and storied careers. Allen made the challenge last month after Smith’s taunting of Allen from the video screen. The only way for Allen to get out of the dress is to retire Chris Smith. If he doesn’t then Randy Allen will not only have to retire but retire in the aforementioned dress. An embarrassing end to a career to say the least. High stakes in this one.
“Violent” Vance Desmond has accepted a match that many are excited to see. Desmond will put his RCW North American Title on the line against former WWE Star, Eugene. Eugene could leave Jackson with the RCW NA Title…then again Desmond and Exotic E are known for their underhanded tactics. This should be a classic.
The 8-man tag-team match has action written all over it. One pinfall ends the bout. Flash Fury, Nikki Tyler, Chad Cruise, and Otto Von Boogiemeister take on “Genuine” Jock Samson, “Bad News” Keith Hamblin, Heavy Metal, and Brian Cross. This one is sure to get out of hand!
The RCW World Tag-Team Titles are on the line. Onyx’s co-champion Ace Gigolo is still out on the injured list. If Onyx cannot find a partner he will have to battle Da Rydas duo of JD Santos & Juggulator by himself! Does Onyx have any friends besides Mastermind and Gigolo? Could be an easy title victory for Da Rydas…then again, Onyx does have the strength of two men.
All this and more goes down on Saturday June 27, 2009 at the Jackson Memorial Building in Jackson, OH when RCW presents their Summer Classic…RCW: Injection. Don’t miss a minute of the action! For more information and advance tickets, check out RCW’s official website at www.rcwonline.com.

Revolutionary Championship Wrestling’s Road To Injection 7 was paved in blood as June 13th is now in the books. A debut, a surprising return, and a revealing video were just some of the reasons to see this event. If you were unable to make it to Portsmouth on June 13th….here’s what you missed…
RangerBob and Tank Runyon made their way out as the DVD Commentators as RangerBob brought out the WWWWWorld Famous RCW Ring Announcer, Kenny Young.
Randy “The King” Allen had his hands full with Chad Cruise. “The King” was still sporting a dress that he has to wear for the rest of the year here in RCW. Cruise nearly had the bout won but the “King” with some help from illegal tactics scored the pin. After the bout “Genuine” Jock Samson came to the ring and applauded Allen. A video popped up from “Livewire” Chris Smith showing a “Secret Lovers” video that speculated that Allen and Samson may be more than friends. Allen was livid and challenged Chris to a match at Injection 7 putting each of their careers on the line. If Allen wins, he is out of the dress and Smith is gone. If Smith wins, Allen must retire after wrestling his last match in the dress.
“Genuine” Jock Samson defeated the Otto Von Boogiemeister in his RCW debut. Otto looked great in his first outing here in RCW. Fans really took to the charismatic German. But…..with help from Randy Allen, Samson came out on top.
Rated X (Nikki Tyler and Flash Fury) reunited to face “Bad News” Keith Hamblin and Heavy Metal. Tyler and Fury proved that experience as a team still wins out in the end as a double splash marked the end for Heavy Metal.
JD Santos won a Best 2 out of 3 Falls match against North American Champion, Vance Desmond. Problem is the last fall was a DQ victory which still kept the title around the waist of Desmond. Santos won the first Fall via pinfall early. Desmond then captured a pin in the 2nd Fall. The Third Fall had Santos in total control but Tyson Rogers and Exotic E pulled out Referee John Reuben before he could make the 3 count thus causing a DQ. Santos was not happy and was said to be very upset with RCW Officials and Management about the situation.
“American Idol” Dirk Extreme retained the title against Tyson Rogers after giving not only Rogers but Exotic E a Mic Check. After the match Rogers said he was not 100% and wanted 1 more shot at Injection. Dirk agreed but only if Tank Runyon would referee the bout and keep an eye on E and Desmond. Match was made.
Da Rydas (Trik Nasty & The Juggulator) defeated Mad Man Pondo and his partner “Omega” Aaron Draven in a Hardcore bout. Draven has a long history with Juggulator as one half of Projekt Ego and also as an opponent of Nasty when Ego feuded with TNT. The match got crazy as one would expect. Juggulator was bloodied by a vicious stop sign shot from Pondo. However, in the end Juggulator his Draven with his finisher for the win. Mastermind’s plan to take out Da Rydas failed yet again.

Fans make sure that you mark Saturday June 13th down on your calendars because it is a day that you don’t want to miss. HARDCORE ICON, MAD MAN PONDO comes to Portsmouth courtesy of The Mastermind. Mastermind has signed a battle for ages. To get back at the Rydas for putting 1/2 of The Mastermind’s RCW World Tagteam Champions, Ace Gigolo on the shelf, The Mastermind has brought in MAD MAN PONDO and a MYSTERY PARTNER of Pondo’s choosing to face Trik Nasty and The Juggulator. Pondo knows The Juggulator all too well and vice versa, so it will be interesting to see how sadistic this match will get. It all happens on Saturday June 13th at the Portsmouth Elk’s City Lodge located at 314 4th Street in Portsmouth, OH. Tickets are $10 Presale; $12 at the door plus kids 4 and under can get in for FREE! Belltime is at 7:30pm with doors opening at 6:30pm. Besides the match we have listed above the night is packed with a solid card that you cannot miss.
“American Idol” Dirk Extreme will have his hands full and may even have to make sure the ring is reinforced because he will be taking on 2 mammoth individuals in a Triple Threat for the RCW World Heavyweight Title. The Mastermind is sticking his “Black Superman” Onyx into the match and Tyson Rogers is said to be healing up and expected to be in the bout as well. At Online Aggression, Rogers suffered a blown out knee and Onyx was thrust into a situation unprepared. This time around everyone in the ring will be prepared and odds are not in the Champions favor. Onyx could become a dual champion or Tyson, who will have Exotic E in his corner, could finally get the Big Win.
Randy “The King” Allen is said to still be livid due to losing the dress match. He must finish out the rest of 2009 wrestling in the dress due to the stipulations in the loss to Chris Smith. “The King” or “Queen” as it may seem now will be facing RCW’s hottest rising star….Chad Cruise. Cruise had a fantastic outing against Jock Samson at Online Aggression and walked away with the win. On June 13th he will be facing one of RCW’s mainstays in Randy Allen. Will the King be victorious or will Cruise embarrass the King further?
RCW’s longest reigning former champions in history, Rated X, Flash Fury & Nikki Tyler will also be reuniting on June 13th for one night only to take on “Bad News” Keith Hamblin and Hamblin’s newest protégé’ Heavy Metal. At Online Aggression Heavy Metal made a rockin’ debut and shock rocked everyone especially Nikki Tyler. He and Hamblin have a lot to prove if they think they are going to run over one of RCW’s most popular duos of all time.
“Genuine” Jock Samson has told the fans repeatedly not to call him “jock-strap”. The mere mention of the athletic support sends Samson into fits. We here at www.rcwonline.com have learned that the nickname was given to Jock by a former opponent of Samson. Someone that was a thorn in Samson’s side during his wrestling endeavors. This individual has been contacted by RCW Officials about making his debut here in Revolutionary Championship Wrestling. He has accepted and will be making his debut against his nemesis. His name is Otto Von Boogiemeister. The German will no doubt have his hands full not mention his ears when he meets Jock Samson on June 13th.
The RCW North American Champion “Violent” Vance Desmond along with Exotic E have had a tight grip on the belt since winning it last September. They however have not been able to shake JD Santos off of the North American Title trail. Since Santos has returned, Desmond and company have threw curve ball after curve ball at fan favorite. Will Santos finally wrestle the gold from Desmond or does Exotic E have one more pitch that will keep Vance Desmond on top of his game. We are told that The Mastermind is meeting with The Board of Directors as well as Santos and Desmond about adding a stipulation to this bout. We will keep you informed here on www.rcwonline.com.
An open invitation Battle Royal will also be taking place with the winner not only earning his spot in the Injection 7 Rumble (June 27th in Jackson, OH) but THE spot to have. The winner will be the last entrant, #20 in the Rumble.
Don’t miss RCW’s Road To Injection ’09 at the Elk’s City Lodge in Portsmouth, Ohio on June 13th at 7:30pm!

The night began with RCW WWWWWWorld Famous Kenny Young bringing out the special DVD commentators RangerBob and Tank Runyon. The Mastermind soon cut Young off as he said he wanted to make sure Kenny kept the results for Online Aggression legit.
The first vote for the night was to see who RCW newcomer “Genuine” Jock Samson would face. The fans chose Chad Cruise which ended up being a great choice as the two had an exciting match that went to the outside fairly quick. Samson was able to ground the quick Cruise and keep him on his back but Cruise was able to catch Samson by surprise and rolling him up for the win.
Since Cruise was chosen to partake in the first match the other wrestlers in the poll (Keith Hamblin, Nikki Tyler, and El Nino) were required to wrestle in a 3-way. El Nino appeared to be inhebriated once again so Tyler and Hamblin went after one another for the most part. In the end Tyler had Hamblin rocked but El Nino helped Hamblin put Tyler away for Hamblin’s win. Afterwards, El Nino unmasked to reveal a new face to RCW. His name is Heavy Metal. He stated that he tried to get on the card but was told by RCW officials that there was not room for him. Heavy Metal said he makes his own room and with help from Keith they took out El Nino. They then proceeded to beat Tyler down until Tyler former Rated X partner, Flash Fury came to the ring. RCW Commissioner, The Mastermind made a match for Portsmouth on June 13th. Rated X vs Heavy Metal & Keith Hamblin. No word on the actual El Nino at this time.
It was time to choose what team (Excalibur, Da Rydas, Rated X) would be reuniting to face the RCW World Tagteam Champions, IOU (Ace Gigolo & Onyx). Mastermind brought a familiar face out to read the results for his team’s matchup. Board of Director member, Dude Rock accompanied by his wife Sharon. Sharon apparently went to Piketon High School. Dude put the school and town down as Sharon took exception. Dude said that Excalibur had won. Mastermind looked ecstatic as Dirk and Randy do not get along. Sharon grabbed the results and revealed that the real winners were Da Rydas (JD Santos, Trik Nasty, Juggulator)! Trik Nasty & The Juggulator decided to team up as JD was currently leading in the North American Title match.
Da Rydas and IOU battled to a Double Disqualification. The match was a brutal back and forth battle. In the end Trik Nasty, Juggulator, and JD Santos got retribution for what IOU and The Mastermind did to Judas Thorn back in March. They took Ace Gigolo and performed the exact chairshot across the throat that put Judas out. Onyx had to carry Ace to the back and we have learned that the Tagteam Champion will be out on the shelf for an undisclosed amount of time. One has to wonder what The Mastermind will have up his sleeve to retaliate with.
The RCW North American Championship was to be determined in a first ever “Hammer-on-a-Pole” Match. A hammer hung from atop a pole in the corner of the ring. You could legally use the hammer if you could get it. The fans chose a 3-way matchup pitting Champion Vance Desmond against Flash Fury and JD Santos. The fans nailed this match as it already screams match of the year. We cannot describe the action in the this bout as it’s something that will have to be seen to be believed. Desmond ended up using another hammer that was passed to him via his manager “Exotic E” and came away STILL RCW North American Champion. Flash and JD put in one heck of a match though.
The last two matches were announced. “American Idol
” Dirk Extreme would be facing Tyson Rogers with Tank Runyon as special guest referee. Tank and Dirk had words about Tank being fair when Exotic E came out and announced that Tyson Rogers is now the newest member of E’s illustrious stable. Dirk and E had words when Tyson Rogers jumped Dirk from behind and took out the champ’s leg. Runyon let the beating go on for a moment but then stepped in. The match would happen but not until after Randy “The King” Allen would battle “Livewire” Chris Smith in a match picked by the fans in a LANDSLIDE as LOSER WEARS A DRESS!
No love lost between Allen and Smith as this feud has escalated since the beginning of 2009. Both men know each other so well and it showed. Chris Smith pinned Randy Allen. Allen was instructed to put on the dress but refused and tried to leave. Kenny Young tossed him back into the ring and Smith wrapped him up in a sleeper. Young and Smith put the dress on Allen and even applied makeup for a moment that will not soon be forgotten by anyone….especially “The King”.
“American Idol” Dirk Extreme battled Tyson Rogers for a few minutes and then while giving Extreme a spinebuster, Rogers knee blew out. Rogers was unable to continue and was helped to the back. Being a fighting champion, Dirk took on another challenger from the back..”The Black Superman” Onyx. Onyx tossed Extreme around but was caught off guard when he got rolled up attempting a knee allowing Extreme to walk away with a win and still intact with he RCW World Heavyweight Championship.

RCW Superstar, Tank Runyon, Retires

At the end of his match Saturday night against Dirk Extreme, it was announced that was indeed Tank Runyon’s last match. Tank is following doctor’s orders to leave the ring permanently due to severe neck problems stemming from years of wear and tear in the ring. Tank couldn’t leave though without giving the fans one last match.
Whether he was loved or hated, fans always took notice to Tank Runyon as he knows how to control the crowd like few others do. Tank has been involved in some of the most memorable feuds and matches in RCW history. His locker room leadership and professional morale has been unparalleled. Tank promises that he will stick around in some fashion because quite frankly it just wouldn’t be the same without him.
We hope to have video up of Tank’s speech from Otway later in the week. THANK YOU, TANK!
Editor’s Note: On a personal level, Saturday nights show was quite possibly one of the saddest moments in my career. Those of you that know me, know that Tank Runyon and I have been up and down the road together for almost 10 years, and you know that at no time in my career have I ever been better than the times when I managed Tank. He was the first guy that I managed that actually took me “on the road” with him, always made sure that I got some nice spots in his matches, and that I was taken care of. I can’t even begin to tell you how much that meant to me, or how much I learned about the business because of Tank.
Above all else though, Tank has always been there for me as a true friend, and for that I will repeat what everyone said Saturday night, and what they will continue to say for years to come…THANK YOU, TANK!

Revolutionary Championship Wrestling’s “New Blood” is now in the history books. A surprise retirement, new alliances, and some new faces were reasons to be in Otway last Saturday night. But just in case you weren’t there, here are the results from New Blood…
The night began with RCW Commissioner, The Mastermind explaining why he ditched The Gods in favor of the NEW RCW World Tagteam Champions, IOU. Mastermind said that he was beginning to see cracks in the armor of the Gods while Ace and Onyx are hungry and willing to listen to “The Manager of Champions”.
IOU (Ace Gigolo and “The Black Superman” Onyx) defeated the team of Nikki Tyler and Chad Cruise. Cruise and Tyler put up a great fight but the new champions showed surprisingly great teamwork not to mention a pair of brass knuckles slipped in by The Commissioner himself.
“Bad News” Keith Hamblin attacked Nikki Tyler after the match due to Tyler tricking him at Spring Awakening. Hamblin wanted to face Tyler but he got the returning El Nino instead. Hamblin made short work of the inhebriated El Nino but was caught off guard after the match by Tyler. Looks like these two still have some unfinished business.
JD Santos defeated Randy “The King” Allen via Countout after the King had enough and once again to the easy way out. The match was a great back and forth battle but once it got too hot in the kitchen….Allen retreated rather than accept the possibility of losing.
Tank Runyon and Exotic E interrupted Santos’s celebration and almost came to blows with the popular star. Santos was ordered to the back by the Mastermind. “American Idol” Dirk Extreme stormed to the ring and sung Radiohead’s “Creep” and directed it toward Runyon. Runyon and E cut the song off by putting the Leather Straps to Extreme who fought back and cleared the ring.
“Genuine” Jock Samson had an impressive debut against The Mystique Ninja. The Mystique Ninja was also making his debut but did not fair too well. Jock Samson came out on top and earned seemingly earns a spot on the RCW Roster.
Tyson Rogers returned to the ring and battled Flash Fury. Flash Fury took it to the big man and many think had him beat. Rogers on the other hand had a trick up his sleeve. Exotic E and Tank Runyon made their way to the ring and gave Rogers a roll of quarters which Tyson used to knock Flash into next week. Tyson Rogers picks up the win and appears to be with Exotic E & Co.
“American Idol” Dirk Extreme and Tank Runyon took it to one another in a Lumberjack Strap Match. Tank came to the ring dressed in many layers of clothing to absorb the straps. Eventually those layers were ripped from Runyon. Both men were ejected several times resulting in lashings from the belts. In the end, Rogers entered the ring to help Runyon but ended up costing him the bout as Extreme walked away with the victory.
After the Main Event Dirk Extreme announced that it was Tank’s last match. The two hugged and everyone wished Tank a teary farewell from in-ring competition as Tank gave a speech thanking everyone.

RCW’s “NEW BLOOD” Featuring a LUMBERJACK STRAP MATCH will take place on Saturday, April 11, 2009 at the OLD OTWAY SCHOOL in Otway, OH. Presale tickets are only $8 each and available (BEGINNING TUESDAY MARCH 31st) at Crabtree’s Market in Lucasville and at our Portsmouth locations: Domino’s Pizza, Front Row Video, and Castle Comics. Presale tickets also available here at www.rcwonline.com. Door Tickets are $10 each. Kids 4 and under get in FREE! Here’s some more info about RCW “New Blood”
Fans may be wondering about the title of this event, RCW “NEW BLOOD”. Let’s just say that there will be a few new faces in the house on 4/11 in Otway.
“The American Idol” Dirk Extreme and Tank Runyon had an epic match at Spring Awakening. This time the belt will be defended in a LUMBERJACK STRAP MATCH! The rules of the Lumberjack Strap Match are brutal yet simple. The ring is surrounded by Lumberjacks (Wrestlers). Each Lumberjack has a leather strap or belt. If either Extreme or Runyon is ejected or exits the ring before the match is over then the Lumberjacks whip them with the straps. This match can get ugly in a hurry. There have been only 2 Lumberjack Strap Matches in the 6+ years of RCW so you don’t wanna miss this. Let’s not forget that Tank Runyon is the one who requested this match. What does Runyon and Exotic E have up their sleeve for The American Idol this time? We also have it on authority that 2 straps will be raffled off to two lucky fans to also participate as a Lumberjack in the match as well. Don’t miss this chance!
Randy “The King” Allen was suppose to be facing “Livewire” Chris Smith in a “LOSER WEARS A DRESS MATCH” at New Blood. Unfortunately, Chris Smith suffered a broken foot at Spring Awakening and the match has been put on hold. Smith has requested that his partner in last year’s LETHAL LOTTERY take his place in the match, JD Santos. JD has looked awesome since returning from his career threatening neck injury. He defeated Vance Desmond in an impromptu match in Jackson and then had a spectacular match with Flash Fury. Now Randy “The King” Allen is a completely different person than the one JD though he knew. This could definitely be a match to look out for.
The New RCW World Tag Team Champions, IOU, Ace Gigolo and “The Black Superman” Onyx will be defending the titles for the first time against a new but already popular duo in Nikki Tyler and Chad Cruise. Chad looked great against Vance Desmond in Jackson. Nikki Tyler has held the RCW Tag Titles in the past and thinks he may have found the right partner. They cannot forget about the Mastermind though. Not only is he the manager of the Champions but he is also in control of RCW.
Tyson Rogers made a statement at Spring Awakening at the expense of Flash Fury and JD Santos. Now Rogers will have to put his money where his mouth is as Flash Fury wants to get some revenge. Tyson is returning off a 6 month back injury. Will he show signs of ring rust? Will Flash Fury continue to climb the ranks in RCW?
There will be many other matches featuring the likes of “Bad News” Keith Hamblin, “Genuine” Jock Samson, Heavy Metal, and more! Keep checking www.rcwonline.com for more details.

Here are the results from Revolutionary Championship Wrestling’s Spring Awakening last Saturday March 21st, 2009 in Portsmouth, OH:
RangerBob started the night off by apologizing to the Portsmouth crowd. Tyson admonished him for doing so and then Kenny Young began the show.
The Mastermind came out before the first match began and gave Exotic E and company a pep talk regarding ending the career of Trik Nasty. Vance Desmond defeated Trik Nasty in the first bout to retain the RCW North American Championship. During the bout Exotic E and Tank Runyon interfered on Desmond’s behalf until Dirk Extreme ran Tank Runyon to the back. Match was an excellent wrestling bout but technical wrestling didn’t win out in the end. Exotic E distracted Referee John Reuben with one hammer while Vance used another on the back of Trik Nasty thus getting the win. After the bout they intended to finish the job until Flash Fury came to the rescue. Flash had the hammer and was about to use it on Vance and E when Mastermind returned to ringside and threatened Fury’s career. Desmond and E escaped as Fury helped Nasty to the back.
Next up was Nikki Tyler taking on “Bad News” Keith Hamblin. Hamblin used his power to ground Tyler for most of the bout. It appeared that Tyler injured his neck at one point. With Hamblin in control and maybe with a false since of security, Tyler used survival instincts and rolled Hamblin up out of nowhere for the win in a good bout
Kenny Young brought out Hollie Wood to discuss what happened between Randy Allen and Chris Smith last month in Jackson. Randy Allen quickly interrupted and threw Hollie to the mat hard. Kenny Young stepped in and there seemed there may be an altercation between Young and Allen when Chris Smith hit the ring. Smith and Allen decided to begin their match right then. “Livewire” Chris Smith defeated Randy “The King” Allen via countout when Allen decided to walk out on the match. Was Allen frustrated or playing mind games with his former partner? Smith then challenged Randy Allen to a “Loser Wears a Dress Match” in Otway. Catch was that the loser has to wear a dress in RCW for the rest of their career. Allen accepted. Although now we have word that Chris Smith suffered a broken foot in the bout, we will have to wait and see where this goes.
The Mastermind announced the RCW World Tagteam Title Match as he manages both teams. IOU (Ace Gigolo & “The Black Superman” Onyx) became the new RCW World Tagteam Champions after The Mastermind double crossed The Gods (Judas Thorn & The Juggulator). Mind played middle ground for most of the bout. The crowd seemed to rally behind The Gods. Onyx and Ace worked over the neck of Judas Thorn. Referee Steve Hephenstein was knocked cold. Mastermind interfered at the end costing The Gods the titles and then the unthinkable happened. The Gods were put out. Juggulator had to be helped to the back by referees which left Judas Thorn and his injured neck in the hands of Ace and Onyx. They pummeled Thorn’s neck with chair after chair before leaving. Mastermind stated that IOU was the future and that he had seen cracks in the armor of the Gods. It was time for him to follow the rightful champions. Thorn had to be helped to the back.
Next up was the #1 Contendership for the RCW North American Title Matchup. JD Santos and Flash Fury had a great aerial and technical match. At one point the bottom rope broke on the ring as JD went for his springboard moonsault. Both men showed tremendous heart and class as they each admired the others tenacity. In the end both men went for a double cross-body and collided in mid-air. Suddenly with both men down, Tyson Rogers arose from the announcing table and entered the ring giving Flash Fury a clothesline from hell and Santos a Samoan Drop. Tyson stated that he too was coming back from injury but all people cared about was JD Santos and Flash Fury. Tyson was there to make a statement and he did. Match was ruled a NO CONTEST.
The Main Event for the RCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE was last on card. “American Idol” Dirk Extreme was mid-song in “My Generation” when Tank Runyon clobbered him from behind. around 8 minutes into the match Tank Runyon was DQ’d by Referee John Reuben for using a low-blow. RCW Commissioner, The Mastermind announced from the stage that since Exotic E put Trik out tonight he would reward Tank by continuing the match under NO DQ rules. Match restarted and now Desmond and Exotic E were free to take shots at Extreme as well. The battle went all over the Elk’s City Lodge. The battle re-entered the ring where Vance Desmond accidentally popped Tank Runyon with the hammer allowing Dirk to hit the MIC CHECK on both men thus getting a pin on Runyon. After the match Tank Runyon challenged Dirk Extreme to a LumberJack Strap Match in Otway on 4/11. American Idol accepted.

Revolutionary Championship Wrestling returns to the Portsmouth Elk’s City Lodge on Saturday, March 21, 2009 in Portsmouth, OH for Spring Awakening. March 21st is the 2nd day of Spring and what a better way to kick it off than with RCW. Tickets are only $8.00 Presale and $10.00 at the door. Kids 4 and under get in FREE! Tickets available NOW at Castle Comics, Front Row Video, Domino’s Pizza, or at www.rcwonline.com. This card is stacked to say the least!
RCW World Heavyweight Champion “American Idol” Dirk Extreme will be defending his title against the now hated former champion, Tank Runyon. Runyon will of course have Exotic E in his corner and we all know that Vance Desmond is lurking in the background somewhere as well. This will be the first time that these two have met in a regular match-up in an RCW ring. Will Runyon regain his championship or will Extreme continue on as RCW World Heavyweight Champion?
If you attended RCW: Physical Distortion ’09 in Jackson, then you will never forget the blow-up between The Unholy Alliance. Ace Gigolo & Onyx beat Chris Smith & Randy Allen for the #1 Contendership for the RCW World Tag-Team Championships currently held by The Gods. Gigolo and Onyx also stuck their noses into the Gods matches that night possibly changing the outcomes. The Mastermind is stuck in the middle as he is the manager of both teams. Mastermind has said that he will “let the 2 battle it out and in the end may the better team reign.” Mind also stated that he fully expects the Alliance to be stronger after this match-up. Thorn and Onyx in the same ring on opposing teams?!? You don’t wanna miss that!
The Legacy is no more. Randy “The King” Allen, after so many years of being on the side of the fans, turned his back on not only those fans but his partner “Livewire” Chris Smith. Smith and Allen fought through so many problems throughout 2008 that everyone thought they had buried the hatchet. Allen not only turned his back on Smith but gave him a vicious beating in the process. Allen also threw his former manager Hollie Wood to the ground. This match has a lot of bad blood to say the least.
The Mastermind’s vendetta against Trik Nasty continues. With the Commissioner’s assets being wrapped up in the Tag-Team Championship Match, The Mastermind had to look elsewhere. Mastermind has paid Exotic E for the services of the RCW North American Champion, Vance Desmond. One would think that JD Santos would get a match against the Champion considering he beat him in the center of the ring in Jackson. Mastermind though has other plans as he is banking on Desmond ending the career of Trik Nasty.
Speaking of the RCW North American Championship…The Mastermind has decided to make friends and fan favorites JD Santos and Flash Fury fight for the right to face Vance Desmond. Flash Fury just fell short of capturing Desmond’s belt back at Full Circle VI and we all know what happened with JD last month as he pinned Desmond’s shoulders to the mat. This could very well be match of the night as these two possess exciting ring styles.
Keith Hamblin says that he has some bad news for Nikki Tyler. He says Tyler’s win at RCW: Physical Distortion ’09 was a fluke. He has challenged Nikki Tyler to a rematch and folks we are here to tell you that Nikki Tyler has indeed agreed to the rematch. It should be interesting to find out what exactly Hamblin has in store for Tyler this time around.
