Championship Wrestling (West Virginia)

"Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, (Down) country roads
Take me home, (Down) country roads

HOUSE SHOW 01
Friday, November 21^st, 1990
from Beckley Regular Baptist Church, Beckley, West Virginia
The Turkey Day Fund Raiser

Chris Cruise on commentary.
Referee Bruno Laurer on duty.

Wrestling for a Cause and a good one at that as Championship Wrestling helps to raise money for buying turkeys for the Church Food Kitchen to help the homeless and less fortunate on Thanksgiving.

- Wild Dog beat Scotty Summers.

- The Bodacious Pretty Boy w/Tasha defeated Tony Williams. *

- Shane Morton pinned Lil’ Frank of the Crazees. **

A successful find raiser as everyone dug into their pockets, even the wrestlers, to donate to the Church’s cause, bringing in nearly $400 which do well to buffer the kitchen’s coffers and feed more people.

* Very evenly matched pair, it was Tasha who was the difference maker. Tony Williams complained to the referee but Laurer said he didn’t see anything.

** Match of the evening between two very athletic men who can go, despite their big lack of experience. Throw in a low ceiling that limited the style of the match but both men shined, coming through to close out the fundraiser.

After the match, Shane Morton, gave a small speech, thanking the fans for coming out and supporting the community.

Great to have you back dude. I always appreciate the little details you put in like the newspaper adverts or having your show be a charity show at a church, really selling the small territory feel.

Always great to see what you have to offer, off to a roaring start. 

[spaldoni]

Welcome back! Great to see your shows again

You can't go wrong by kicking things off with John Denver 

Chris Cruise is a good voice to have 

Nice Thanksgiving show with a feel good atmosphere
