Now we go to the vastly under appreciated Revolution Pro Wrestling from SoCal and their "It's Clubberin Time" show from 3/30/01 in Santa Fe Springs, California.This venue was once a church so the ring is actually against a fucking wall. There may be 30 people in the crowd as well. Demento vs. El Gallinero Demento coming out "They're Coming To Take Me Away" from Napoloen XIV is classic and Gallinero is Joey Ryan under a hood doing a crazy rooster gimmick. The pony tail on the referee is quite distracting as it reminds you of Danny Trejo when he has his hair in that way. The match is okay for an opener and it's funny watching Joey Ryan work a fake luchador gimmick. I did like the dueling top rope walk spot where Gallinero crotches himself as the fans clap mockingly. Demento wins with a nice backwards rana off the top rope in a fairly short match. Next we get the fucking awesome Tokyo Gurentai (Ultra TARO Jr. & Excalibur) along with B-Boy for a promo with TARO rips up the sound guy for having feedback which is great. TARO claims that they are the real Twin Towers not Hakeem Olajuwon & Ralph Sampson or Akeem & Big Bossman which is great because TARO is short as shit and he said that he & Excalibur will be on the 2004 Japanese Olympic Basketball Team. Excalibur rips on Revolution Pro afterwards while he gets seriously heckled from the fans which is so hilarious. Excalibur would definitely get better on the mic and TARO was way better than he was at this stage. Jason Allgood vs. "Italian Heartthrob" Romeo Romeo looks like a homeless man's Paul Varelans while Allgood kills me trying to the get the fans behind him saying "YEAH COME ON." Allgood looks the ugly friend from Hardbodies if he had a son. Romeo whips up on Allgood to start as he has a heckling match with some fans. Allgood breaking out a Dragon Sleeper was interesting before missing a terrible diving legdrop off the top rope. This one girl starts singing "Who Wears Short Shorts" at Romeo which pops the crowd. Allgood on offense was definitely lacking although he had a nice hip toss and did have some good fire. Romeo had a nice corkscrew elbow ala Buddy Landell for a nearfall before climbing up top where he got slammed by Allgood. Jason followed that up with a diving elbow to win. The crowd made this match as they had some funny lines. Handicap Match for the Mexican Lucha Libre Heavyweight Championship: "The Expert" Matt Sinister © vs. The Beautiful People (Jason Rayz & Joey Rage) The Beautiful People definitely wasn't Angelina Love & Velvet Sky while Matt Sinister came out to "Judith" from A Perfect Circle which I loved. Sinister was billed as the "Most Hated Man in SoCal" looking like a fat blond haired Tom Marquez while The Beautiful People had the PERFECT 2001 indie babyface undercard look with the headband, shirt, baggy pants. TBP have Sinister on the ropes early using double team moves and quick tags and do a pretty good job working over his left arm but Sinister came back with lariat with his other arm then basically no sold the armwork afterwards. Sinister using Steve Austin's corner offense was funny and i was shocked none of the fans called him out on it. This was worked exactly like a tag match would other than Sinister had no partner as they were doing ref distraction spots so Sinister could either cheat or get pinned and he couldn't see it. Sinister would hit a superplex and this one loud dude chanted "NOW THAT'S A HIGHSPOT" which got some laughs. Sinister would miss a moonsault off the top rope and TBP would make a comeback and they take turns getting nearfalls on Sinister who wouldn't stay down. Sinister though would powerbomb Jason and made Joey tap out to the Crippler Crossface to retain his title. This was easily the best match on the show so far but that is damning praise. The Twin Towers (Excalibur & Ultra TARO Jr.) vs. Los Ocho Rojos (Mr. Excitement & Rising Son) NOW we are talking.....I always wanted a fucking Tokyo Gurentai shirt as I loved the gimmick to death and you can't beat Excitement & Son coming out to Powerman 5000's "When Worlds Collide" and the crowd pop when Excitement tore away his pants as was great. Everyone in this match was criminally underrated at this time and I am loving going back to rewatch this stuff so I can keep their memories alive a little. Son & TARO's feud working their Asian gimmicks was always fun and they didn't disappoint here. We had a good mixture of matwork and high spots to start and I really dug Son's ankle work on Excalibur especially the Muta Lock. TARO selling the double chop in the corner when Excitement came in was fun although Excitement's Lance Storm tribute Half Crab floatover was awkward. The Twin Towers would then take over with Excalibur using a Pedigree on TARO on Son was a cool spot. TARO then hit a sweet tope con hilo from the top rope to the floor with Excalibur following with a tope suicida but hit all floor. Son followed that with a nice Asai Moonsault on the Towers while Excitement gyrated his hips to the crowd. Son was kicking ass now with a nice 619 then a headscissors takedown from the apron to the floor on Excalibur before eating a powerbomb from a springboard by TARO. Excalibur & Excitement would both get hot tags with Excitement hitting a slow jumping DDT then would catch Excalibur in a Capture Suplex. Son would come back in with a nice frog splash, reverse huracarana, Fisherman's Buster, and a Swanton Bomb but he still couldn't put away Excalibur. Excalibur would come back with some hard ass lariats on Son before hitting his version of the J-Driller for the win. Damn fun match here as these teams worked very well together and I love me some Gurentai. Super Dragon vs. B-Boy B-Boy with hair is such a funny sight and he comes out with Excalibur & TARO watching his back while DMX plays. Our hero Super Dragon comes out with Mr. Excitement watching his back but Excitement would grab the house mic so he could announce the participants in Japanese which was AWESOME...this was really great. The crowd is kinda split but it's swayed more towards Super D which was expected. There was a feeling out process to start but once B-Boy punched Dragon in the ribs as he tried a tope suicida then the mood changed and Super D got pissed so he clocked him with a steel chair. They would go back to the ring where we got some cradles from both men followed up by some fun legwork from both. Super D just torched B-Boy with some chops to the chest but B-Boy fought back by working over Super D's left knee which was really well done. Super D fought back and tried to do a cartwheel dive but sold the knee perfectly allowing B-Boy to go right back to work on the knee with a figure-four leglock. B-Boy continues his onslaught as the crowd tries to get Super D pumped up which he did hitting a sweet backdrop suplex sending B-Boy to the floor. Dragon is still selling hard but he springboards off of B-Boy's chest to hit a moonsault on Excalibur & TARO on the floor which was followed by B-Boy jumping off the top rope with a jumping DDT on Dragon from the apron to the floor. B-Boy would hit a Goriconoclasm on Super D from the apron to the floor then followed with a chairshot of his own before taking it back to the ring where he went back to work on Super D's left knee with a figure-four trying to put him away. Super D tried to go for a Michinoku Driver but B-Boy countered into an ankle lock which was sweet and Super D really looked like he was in deep trouble before hitting a desperation lariat although he couldn't capitalize because of his knee. Super D tried a Lionsault but totally missed and B-Boy was going for the kill until he missed a diving legdrop off the top rope allowing Super D to hit a springboard spinning legkick which started his comeback and now he works over B-Boy with a jujigatame followed by a Dragon Sleeper followed by a wakigatame. Both men at this stage are feeling the effects of the hard hitting action but Super D would break out the rolling German Suplexes until B-Boy nuked him with an Ode to Kobashi half-nelson suplex for a nearfall. B-Boy would keep up the pressure even hitting an Iconoclasm from the middle rope for a nearfall. Super D would come back hitting a reverse Draogn Twister before locking on a jujigatame to win which brought in Gurentai for a brawl but Excitement & Rising Son would make the save. This was a god damn great fucking match and a total showcase for both men who barely anyone East of say Arizona were even talking about.

Oh no this is all 2001 and onward.

We start with CZW 2/10/01 "Crushing the Competition" from Sewell, New Jersey. This starts with Dennis Shock who is basically a heel ring announcer going over the card and getting pissed at the fans especially Hat Guy then CZW Vice President Robbie Mireno gets heckled as well with "YOU SUCK DICK" chants being yelled out and he plays up to it of course. Mireno then says he has to go party with some lesbians and leaves. Super Crazy vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri Eric Gargiulo & John House play this up as their final encounter because Tajiri is heading to WWF. We get a handshake of respect before the match and Tajiri sprays the green mist before both men go to the floor and hug Hat Guy then raise his hand which is fucking hilarious and starts a "FUCK YOU HAT GUY" chant. The announcers are talking up Tajiri taking a big risk working this show because of his future in WWF and will it cost him a job. They start with matwork early before Crazy misses a plancha to the floor which prompts some brawling around the ring. The action goes back to the ring where both men trade quick nearfalls before Crazy goes for his triple moonsault which brings out Nick Mondo who attacks Crazy but Tajiri slaps him on the ass and kicks him in the head then Ric Blade shows up and the three men just kick the hell out of Mondo sending him scurrying. Blade then gets on the mic and cuts a promo on Crazy which leads to quick brawl between them. Total screwjob on the "final encounter" but a fun way to set up the future match later on the show. 3 Way Dance: Jeff Rocker vs. "Mr. Old School" Jon Dahmer vs. Eddie Valentine Dahmer has Pastor Jim & Natasha in his corner which is quite the 2001 looking indie manager/valet combo. Pastor Jim looks like a pimp that Nick Gage would've extorted back then and Natasha looked like a thicker version of Quack's old girlfriend Joanne. Jeff Rocker is quite the jacked up looking dude coming out to "Mother" by Danzig which is hilarious because he looks like Neidermayer from Animal House's lost son. Jeff Rocker stealing Lance Storm's roll into a Half Crab was something else. Oh man was there some bad work here and Valentine did a running dive to the floor on no one hitting his head right on the floor. After that we get more awkward moves with everyone botching moves before Dahmer hit a nice pump-handle Emerald Frosion but he couldn't capitalize on it. Barr Camm (looking like The Gimp from Pulp Fiction) then ran out and brawled with Dahmer as Rocker put out Valentine then got an O'Connor Roll on Dahmer and a Perfect Plex on Valentine to win the match. This was a total clusterfuck. Rocker then grabs the mic and starts to cut a promo before Pastor Jim grabs the mic and demands that his set be brought to the ring which happens as the CZW crew brings out a carpet, chairs, and a table where we get The Pastor Jim Show with Jeff Rocker. Jeff starts talking shit as the MX theme stars playing which brings out Trent Acid & Z-Barr (who is still masked here) who tells Rocker to get the fuck out of his ring. Acid then tells Z-Barr to lose the mask because the time for being goofy is over which he does and a star is born. John House calling Johnny Kashmere a "queer" when Pastor Jim brings his name up is wild considering what would happen a few years later with Johnny. This turns into Acid talking about how he is going to be the top guy now that he has dropped Kashmere and he is aligned fully with Zandig. Acid then talks up his future match with Nick Berk while we get more gay slurs from John House. This was quite the segment. Rockin' Rebel vs. Ruckus Rebel who is one of the biggest pieces of shit in wrestling history has his Rebel Army bring him down to ringside waving the Confederate Flag and they bring some Kentucky Fried Chicken & Bisquick to the ring. Rebel cuts a promo before the match of course where he says that Dennis Shock was sucking off men in Delaware then calls him a fucking queer. Rebel then cuts a promo Hat Guy saying he has never had any pussy either which is hilarious. Rebel talks about how he deserves title shots and then he starts in with the racial slurs on Ruckus which was something else. Ruckus runs in the ring and goes off on Rebel hitting a running cartwheel moonsault to the floor which was impressive as Ruckus was quite big here. They brawl around the building for a bit with highlights being a running cartwheel moonsault from Ruckus on the floor on a laid out Rebel. Rebel just waylaid Ruckus with a chair shot to the head as Ruckus was on the top rope then followed that up with a dive of his own from the top rope to the floor which shocked everyone then followed that up with a clothesline from the apron to the floor. Rebel is working hard here considering how bad he was in the ring even breaking out a bulldog from the second rope for a nearfall. Rebel then gets into it with referee John Hartog before Ruckus makes a comeback before missing a twisting 450 splash off the top rope which allows Rebel to get the bucket of flour which he dumps on Ruckus' head following it up with a lariat. Rebel then gets the KFC chicken and calls Ruckus a "boy" demanding he get up which he did only to meet a fireball in his face. Rebel then got a piece of chicken took a bite out of it and spat it in Ruckus' face for good measure. This segment would definitely be popular in a lot of wrestling personalities households. Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. The Spanish Announce Team (Joel Maximo & Red) This is the beginning of a new generation in the Northeast indies as this is the first ever matchup between these young teams. When I bought this tape back then and watched this match I immediately could tell that these four men along with Jose Maximo would be tearing shit up for years to come. Eric Gargiulo says that the SAT came down for no pay just a chance to work the show. Dewey Donovan managed The Briscoes who were working as heels here which was hilarious and they looked like babies. We get a lot of jokes regarding the Briscoes name while these guys are working on a mat covered in flour. The biggest spot at the start was Jay dropkicking Red off the top rope to Joel who was on the floor with Red doing a nice tope con hilo on him. Then we get the wild dives as Mark hit a sweet no hands plancha then followed up by Red hitting a twisting moonsault followed up by Jay hitting a big tope con hilo and these guys are already having the best match on the show. Then we get the Shelton Benjamin/HBK Superkick spot with Mark playing Shelton and Joel playing HBK followed up by a stiff fucking lariat by Joel. The fans are giving these guys a standing ovation mid-match as they are busting their asses. Both teams then just tear it up even more although the Briscoes botch a Total Elimination before Jay hits Red with a Tiger Bomb followed up by a Mark moonsault off the top rope for the win. The Briscoes were pissed at Dewey for cheating as the fans again give these guys a standing ovation. Considering these guys experience level this was a helluva match and there was more greatness to come from these guys. 3 Way Ladder Match: Ric Blade vs. Super Crazy vs. "Sick" Nick Mondo Mondo cuts a promo before the match talking shit on the fans and the other guys in the match. There is very little more enjoyable in this era of indie wrestling than Ric Blade's bowl haircut...it is hilarious. So much going on here so I'll highlight the best spots such as Mondo hitting a sunset flip on Crazy who had Blade in a German Suplex landing right on his head. Everyone hit some fun dives from the ring to the floor and this was Ric Blade at his best as he's doing all kinds of stuff that hurt his opponents and himself. Matches like this definitely helped Crazy spawn the DTU concept because this is that style to almost perfection. The ladder finally comes into play so Blade could take some wild bumps on top of it. Crazy does the powerbomb/superplex spot from the top of the ladder in 2001 which was impressive as shit back then and gets the fans to chant "CZW." Blade hitting the Psicosis bump on Crazy was fun then kicking him in the head numerous times leading to him laying Crazy on the ladder between two chairs so he could hit a running no hands Swanton Bomb from the ring was insane. Mondo hitting a springboard legdrop on a ladder which was on top of a steel chair on Blade's lifeless body was wild. Crazy would hit his 3 moonsaults on Mondo before Blade followed up with a huge corkscrew press for a nearfall. Mondo then takes a wild backdrop bump from the ring to the floor on the ladder on chairs then Blade & Crazy rolled him back into the ring and pinned him to share the victory which the fans didn't like the shared victory. Mondo gets on the mic and tells Blade that he didn't beat him by himself and demanded a barbed wire ladder match the next week in Delaware. This was a really good spotfest which was expected. Trent Acid vs. Nick Berk These guys were the former Softcore Connection before Acid turned and formed The Backseat Boyz so Berk comes running out taking the fight to Acid early and often. They brawl on the floor with Acid hitting a nice moonsault off the caged fence on a standing Berk. Nick would hit a nice sunset flip into a powerbomb on Acid on the floor which was a hard landing before springboarding off of a chair with a nice tope con hilo once Acid got up. Acid made a comeback hitting a big moonsault from the top rope to the floor although he didn't hit Berk clean. Berk fights back though hitting a reverse suplex on some chairs before sending Acid back to the ring where he steals a chair from Z-Barr only to meet a discus forearm by Acid. This leads to a bunch of chairs being brought into the ring which Acid would fall backward onto awkwardly as the crowd booed. Berk hits an awkward frog splash for a nearfall and the fans are getting restless before Acid finally puts Berk through the chairs for a nearfall. Acid though gets launched from the top rope to the floor as Berk threw him off the top rope and they start brawling again with the fans watching their chairs get squashed. The battle goes into the area behind the caged fence brawling into the bleachers where Berk sets up a table which backfired as Acid hit the Acid Bomb on him. Acid & Z-Barr then drag Berk back to the ring by his arms where Acid covered him for a nearfall which surprised the announcers. Acid wants more chairs because they busted all of the other ones but Berk hit the Berk Driver on the chairs to win the match but he didn't win in the 10 minutes that Acid demanded so the win doesn't count. Berk is pissed off afterwards wanting more time which he gets and Berk uses various cradles for nearfalls trying to put away Acid including ripping off the RVD/Jerry Lynn nearfall combos. Soon we get a ref bump and Z-Barr hits the X-Factor on Berk on a chair with Acid following up with a spinning tumbleweed legdrop on a chair to win. They really should've had Berk win the match clean as the crowd never got into the continuation of the match. Royal Rumble Rules for the CZW Iron Man Title: Wifebeater © vs. Lord Everett Devore vs. Lobo vs. Mad Man Pondo vs. Nate Hatred The ring crew brings out the barbed wire tables before the wrestlers come out and they point out the title is hanging from the rafters above the announce position. Nate Hatred comes out with a trashcan wrapped in barbed wire which is great. Lobo & Hatred start the match off and they trade moves before Wifebeater is the next one to come out and he immediately goes after Hatred who he is feuding with. Zandig's mystery guy comes out next and it's Lord Everett Devore who looks HILARIOUS and he has a white shirt on which means only one thing will happen to him. All three men then beat the hell out of Devore before Justice Pain shows up and says that he has a mystery man of his own and it's Mad Man Pondo who comes in swinging a stop sign which means we now will be getting some violence. Devore puts his wig back on his head wanting a handshake but takes a stop sign right to the head and Pondo puts the wig on which was funny. The blood is now flowing as Pondo staples Wifebeater's potato chips bag to his head and Devore's white shirt is covered in blood. This is just a wild brawl with weapons galore being used and everyone juicing taking wild bumps. Lobo & Wifebeater climb up to the get the belt but Beater sends Lobo flying off onto a flaming table which saw Lobo lay in a blazing fire for a good 20 seconds before they could pull him off because he was stuck in barbed wire. The match continued afterwards as Pondo & Hatred started pounding on Lobo until Nick Gage attacked everyone getting them off of Lobo. Gage helped Lobo up and Lobo celebrated because he kept the belt in his hands as he flew off through the flaming table. Devore then got on the mic and talked about how hardcore he is as blood flows down his face and he challenged Lobo for more. Gage then turned on Lobo clocking him with a steel chair and he picked up the belt taunting Lobo then cutting a promo saying fuck a lot. Lobo then got back up and they brawled for a while taking it to the back. Nick Gage has always been a treasure and this was wild for what it was. Justice Pain vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri Pain runs into the ring trying to catch Tajiri off guard but sprays the green mist right in his face. The battle goes to the floor where Pain gets sent right into the fence and Tajiri is throwing him around like crazy. Pain fights back but he ate a stiff Superkick from Tajiri who then tells John House to shut up which was great. Tajiri is just squashing Pain until he hits an awkward attempt of an Blockbuster for a nearfall. Pain keeps up the offense on Tajiri and has him stunned before eating another Superkick then a reverse DDT. Pain sends Tajiri back to the floor where he hits his own dive on Tajiri and now he is the one stalking Tajiri until he eats a trash can lid to the face. Pain comes back with a German Suplex hold for a nearfall back in the ring but Tajiri hits him with a big brainbuster before going to the floor where he grabs a table to bring back to the ring. Tajiri sets up the table and puts Pain on it but he rolls off which made Tajiri laugh so Tajiri puts him on it again and climbs up top which brings out Wifebeater who saves his partner and the H8 Club double up on Tajiri as they set him on the table so Pain could jump off on him but Mikey Whipwreck makes a surprising appearance and hits a huracarana from the top rope on Pain through the table. Tajiri & Mikey then double up on Wifebeater as the crowd pops big as they do their old laughing schtick. Pain then demands a tag match the next week between the teams but the match never happens. Zandig sends in a video promo from Japan saying that he paid Mikey to come in to beat the H8 Club's asses and he shows a video of Balls Mahoney saying that Balls is coming for Wifebeater next week which got the fans to pop. We got a 4-way brawl again before everyone went to the back although Justice Pain got flour poured on top of him which was funny. Mikey coming out saved the crowd as they were lukewarm during the match which was fine but the shit finish involving Wifebeater killed them. Overall this was a very fun show with the Briscoes/SAT match being the ultimate highlight in the end. Blade vs. Mondo vs. Crazy was strong for what it was as well.

Better than nothing Bruce thanks for not giving up on it

The early UFC's were so fun and will be great to talk about

Prissy Purcell

We start the show this week with Mr. Wrestling joining Gordon Solie and they talk about how the Gentleman's Club is banned from the studio today due to their actions from previous weeks and Solie says that they are still in the building though but in another studio and there is where we get a camera shown on said studio with the Gentleman's Club (minus Greg Gagne) sitting in chairs watching the monitor with Holliday gleaming over the return of Mike George who cost Paul Orndorff the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Holliday then tells Solie that this will be the worst TV show ever now that his boys won't be working on the show. Solie asks Holliday where Greg Gagne is and Holliday said that Greg was having some travel issues but he was on the way. MATCH #1 The Shadow Riders ("Hangman" Bobby Jaggers & Johnny Mantell) vs. Sam Houston & Rick McCord The Riders destroy the jobbers as Jaggers finishes off Houston with the Hangman hold in 4:56 Next we get Freddie Miller going over all the major NWA events of the previous week. We come back from break with Solie joined by "Diamond" Timothy Flowers and his manservant Pablo where he talks about he wants better competition and admits that he is glad that he is working Roberto Soto today on TV because he loves hot blooded Latin men because they like it rough. MATCH #2 "Diamond" Timothy Flowers vs. Roberto Soto Flowers gets a good match from Soto but he wins in the end using a figure-four leglock in 8:01. Flowers then goes back to Solie afterwards and asks where is the competition.....he wants a real man to show up to give him what he needs. After the match, we go to the remote studio where the Gentleman's Club are watching and Buzz Sawyer says that Jake Roberts is barely escaping with his National Heavyweight Title every time they face each other but all he needs is 3 seconds....just 3 seconds and that title will be around his waist and Jake better be on guard at all times. MATCH #3 "King Kong" Angelo Mosca vs. Ron Ritchie Mosca gets the win with the Canadian Backbreaker in 7:23 then goes over to Solie and sends a message to the Gentleman's Club saying that on 10/3 at The Omni when he along with Jake & Adrian Adonis face off with Sawyer, Super D, & Gagne in the Barbed Wire Steel Cage that careers may come to an end and he isn't going to be responsible for his actions. Next we get Freddie Miller who goes over all the GCW events of the previous week. MATCH #4 Brad Armstrong & George Weingroff vs. The Southern Studs (Chick Donovan & Tommy Wright) Before the match, Brad said that he thinks that Weingroff may be the partner he needs to take out the Studs and Weingroff said that when he was friends with Greg Gagne they had success against the Studs and he has the secrets to beat them. Armstrong & Weingroff take it to the Studs before it turns into a 4-way brawl where a man dressed in all black runs out wearing a black mask and he KO's Weingroff with a black glove before running off. Wright then covers Weingroff to win the match in 9:46. Solie says that he fully believed that was Greg Gagne under the mask and then when they go to the studio where the GC is, Gagne has just joined them saying that traffic was tough this morning on I-75 as there was a bad wreck. Solie asks Gagne if he just knocked out Weingroff with a black glove and Greg firmly denied it saying that it would've been impossible for him to do that and be here at the same time. MATCH #5 "Adorable" Adrian Adonis vs. Ted Oates Good match with Ted giving Adonis some fits but Adonis would catch him with Goodnight Irene in 10:57. Adonis goes over to Solie after the match and asks that the Gentleman's Club monitor come up and he sends them a message saying that he won't rest until he grinds their faces into the barbed wire and steel at The Omni on 10/3 and tells Super D directly that he is coming for his mask to show everyone how ugly he really is. MATCH #6 Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. Jerry Bryant Jake just nukes Bryant with a DDT in 3:02 then goes over to Solie and he says that he is tired of talking and tells the cameras to follow him.....Jake then goes down the hallway and enters the Gentleman's Club studio where he tries to fight everyone himself before he is joined by Adonis & Mosca but it's still 5-on-3 before Paul Orndorff ran in there going after Mike George and the brawl spilled into the hallway back into the main studio where they brawled all around ringside with Mr. Wrestling yelling to break it up before he got clocked by Rip Oliver who gave Mr. Wrestling a piledriver which angered Jim Holliday who called his boys to leave the ring because he knew they were in deep trouble. MATCH #7 "Hacksaw" Butch Reed vs. Les Thornton Reed is getting ready to finish off Thornton with the diving shoulderblock off the top rope when the Shadow Riders run out for the DQ in 12:13. The Riders double up on Reed until Koko Ware ran out to even the odds and sent the Riders packing. Before the show ends, Mr. Wrestling comes out with his neck in a neckbrace and he tells Solie that he will now take business into his own hands as he announces that Rip Oliver has been suspended indefinitely and that he has made a match for The Omni on 10/3 between himself and Gentleman Jim Holliday where the loser leaves town. The show then fades to black.

Les is one of my favorites right now he is solid

We plan week to week so that may be in play then

Dylan is rocking a pink shirt on Night 2 and his dad gets no-sold on a high five by Jason Collins... This tournament is one of the best independent tournaments I've ever seen and a tremendous two nights of action.....I implore everyone to buy this.

I do the lucha ratings for PWI but they never asked me this year about the 500 which they have done in the past....

These shows are always fun for me because it's just us talking shit like we are in a bar or something

We start this week's episode of Georgia Championship Wrestling with Gordon Solie being joined by Brad Armstrong and they talk about the serious injury that "Pistol" Pez Whatley suffered on 8/31 in McDonough where the Shadow Riders spike piledrove Pez on a steel chair and Brad fully believes that the Southern Studs had something to do with it after they cut up his jersey last week. Brad said that he will find a new partner and he will get his revenge on the Studs saying that one of them will be getting a haircut real soon. "Diamond" Timothy Flowers and his manservant Pablo then follow behind Brad and Flowers talks about his issues with Scott McGhee saying that now is the time for McGhee to show how manly he is because in his vast experiences with British men he knows that they are very submissive. Flowers said that American men are more dominant and that's why he has been dominating everyone he was went up against so far here. McGhee then comes out and slaps Flowers in the face and tells him that he will submit him alright and the match is on. MATCH #1 "Diamond" Timothy Flowers vs. Scott McGhee This becomes a fight with both men really taking it to each other before McGhee would grab Flowers near the ropes for a German Suplex but as he picked him up, Pablo tripped up McGhee and Flowers fell on top of him to get the win in 8:43. Flowers & Pablo celebrated afterwards hugging each other before McGhee ran out and attacked both of them sending them running to the back. Freddie Miller then goes over all the previous week's events in the NWA before going to break. After the break, Solie is joined by The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne) who talk about their match with the Oates Brothers today and Davis talks about how yeah they have to leave town for 90 days if they lose but the Oates Brothers are overrated and always have been. Wayne said that The Nightmares are what's hot right now in wrestling and that this is a new era not 1973 where the Oates Brothers thought they were hot. Mr. Wrestling then comes out and tells them that since they went to a 15:00 draw last week they have added another 5 minutes for a special 20:00 TV time limit which seemed to please The Nightmares. MATCH #2 Jerry & Ted Oates vs. The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne) Again if the Nightmares lose here then they must leave town for 90 days and this was a real hard fought match with both teams duking it out with each other. The Nightmares would then try their tombstone piledriver/diving legdrop combo again but Jerry countered and hit Davis with a tombstone piledriver of his own then followed up with an inside toehold to get the win in 17:31 and the Nightmares are gone for 90 days. Solie comes back from break joined by "Hacksaw" Butch Reed & Koko Ware talking about their upcoming National Tag Titles match against The Shadow Riders ("Hangman" Bobby Jaggers & Johnny Mantell) at The Omni tomorrow night on the NWA 35th Anniversary Show. Reed said that he & Koko are gonna take the titles for the people of Atlanta and get the belts off of those wannabe cowboys. Koko said that he & Butch are ready to show everyone that while they may be two singles wrestlers but they are brothers for life. MATCH #3 "Hacksaw" Butch Reed & Koko Ware vs. Jerry Bryant & Les Thornton Reed & Koko are dominant here just punishing Bryant and then Ware used a brainbuster on Bryant in 5:13. Thornton never got in the ring proper and he was very angry so he picked up Bryant and just dropped him with his high-angle backbreaker. Freddie Miller then goes over all the previous events of the week in GCW before going to break. We come back from break with Solie now joined by Gentleman Jim Holliday and the Gentleman's Club with Holliday doing a new roll call since Greg Gagne is now an official member of the group. Solie asked Gagne if he was proud of himself for what he did to George Weingroff last week and Greg said most definitely because he got a brand new car, brand new friends, and has been winning all week since he dumped that loser Weingroff. Gagne said that also thanks to him the National Heavyweight Title will come where it belongs and that will be the Gentleman's Club and around the waist of "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer. Sawyer said that tomorrow night at The Omni will be a joyous occasion for the NWA but not for Jake Roberts because he will be without his title and without his manhood. MATCH #4 Greg Gagne vs. Sam Houston Gordon Solie mentions that this is the debut of Sam Houston here in GCW and that he is a good looking young talent but in way over his head here. Gagne then proved that point as he just roughed poor Sam up before KOing him with his black glove then putting on the sleeper hold for good measure finishing him off in 6:51. After the match, Gordon is joined by NWA World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race who is surrounded by the Gentleman's Club with Solie asking Race why he feels the need of having them around him and Harley tells him that Paul Orndorff is a nut and you can't tell what he is going to do. Harley then said that he is here to compete on TV today and that he is going to show everyone across the world why he is the best at what he does with no one else coming close to him. MATCH #5 Harley Race vs. Roberto Soto Soto gives Race a good match but Race would overwhelm him as the match went on and Race put Soto away with a piledriver in 9:34. Race then yelled out to Solie where's Orndorff at saying that his piledriver was better than his. Orndorff then ran out and attacked Race but was jumped by the GC who beat him down until Jake, Adonis, & Mosca ran out to even the odds. Once the ring was cleared out though, Orndorff got up and shoved each one of the other guys before leaving. MATCH #6 "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer vs. Rick McCord Buzz destroys McCord in 3:09 then yells out for Jake to come out here which he does and they have a wild brawl which sees Gagne KO Jake again with his black glove. Adonis then got KOed by a loaded mask by Super Destroyer and Mosca ate a spike piledriver by Oliver and Gagne. Gentleman Jim Holliday then proclaimed that the Gentleman's Club runs this place which brings out Mr. Wrestling who said that he is tired of all of this going on and his past fines hasn't been enough so he will do something more drastic. Mr. Wrestling then announces that the Gentleman's Club will be banned from TV next week which infuriates Holliday. Before the next match, Brad Armstrong comes out and says that he is taking Ron Ritchie on to be his partner today to take on the Southern Studs and he is confident that they can get the job done. Mr. Wrestling then comes out and announces that The Gentleman's Club has been escorted out of the building. MATCH #7 The Southern Studs (Chick Donovan & Tommy Wright) vs. Brad Armstrong & Ron Ritchie Brad & Ron work good together early on but the Studs are much more accustomed to working as a team and it helps them go over in the end as Wright hits a backdrop suplex hold on Ritchie to win 11:22. The Studs then continue to beat down the faces afterwards until Reed & Ware make the save which brings out the Shadow Riders and it becomes a beatdown as the Riders & Studs work together to stand tall over the fallen babyfaces with Gordon Solie sadly proclaiming that there may actually be honor among thieves. Harley Race then comes back out and joins Solie talking about how Paul Orndorff is a fool if he thinks he is taking that NWA World Heavyweight Title from him which brings out Orndorff who tells Race that his buddies aren't here anymore to watch his back and he decks Race sending him into the ring where he would hit him with his piledriver then laid the NWA World Heavyweight Title belt on top of his fallen body as the screen fades to black.
