NWA Anarchy
Episode 73
July 23, 2007
Welcome to another edition of the NWA Anarchy TV Report, “Independent wrestling’s only television report without MERITT~!”
WRESTLING: (n.) \’res-ling\ A sport of contest in which two individuals face off in unarmed combat.
ANARCHY: (n.) \an-ar-key\ (1) A state of lawlessness due to absence of authority. (2) A complete lack of order.
What happens when you mix the two together? NWA-Anarchy!
- Here's wishing Kirby Mack a swift and safe recovery.
- On last week’s edition of NWA Anarchy TV, Patrick Bentley pulled wool over Slim J’s eyes and Ace Rockwell suffered a horrid neck injury after NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Chad Parham delivered three vicious piledrivers, including one on the wooden ring steps.
- Hunter & Johnson reminisce Slim J challenging Bentley to a best of five series, Rockwell scoring the pinfall victory over Jeff Lewis and the subsequent attack by the Devil’s Rejects. Johnson’s favorite champion put Rockwell out of commission and wonders aloud where Jeff G Bailey is. This week, Seth Delay & Adrian Hawkins seek to gain revenge on the Hollywood Brunettes while “that Jerk” Todd Sexton challenges Jeremy Vain for the TV Title.
1. NWA Anarchy TV Title: Jeremy Vain (ch.) vs. Todd Sexton
PREMATCH: Sexton pulled a Taz and forced Jeremy Vain to tapout in under a minute and thus earned a shot at the TV Title.
THE MATCH: Sexton has just transformed from the technician into a mixed martial arts fighter right on down to the loaded gloves. Only on Anarchy TV will you hear the announcers discussing various uses for gloves in professional wrestling. Sexton immediately transitions from a Lou Thesz press into an armbreaker for a near submission. Hunter performs a background check on Sexton and informs us that Tony Mamaluke trained Sexton in submission wrestling, Dean Malenko trained Mamaluke and Karl Gotch trained Malenko. Johnson smartly counters that Shawn Michaels and the Texas Wrestling Academy taught Sexton how to screw people. Sexton counters a Figure Four attempt into a small package for a near fall, but Vain makes him pay with a clothesline. After commercial, Vain wakes up Sexton with a series of slaps in the corner. Sexton lands a series of back slaps and a leaping kick for a two count. Vain eludes a turnbuckle charge and catches Sexton a wheelbarrow suplex for a near fall. Vain preps Sexton with the VKO, but the Technician counters the VDT with Anaconda Vice. CM Punk would be proud, but out local taco critic, Sal Rinauro, isn’t the least bit impressed. Rinauro seizes the opportunity to intrude by raking Sexton’s eyes. The dumbfounded referee ogles at Rinauro. Rinauro played innocent and enjoyed sightseeing. Sexton recognizes Rinauro’s evil intentions and falls victim to the oldest trick in the book. Vain embarrasses Sexton with the VDT for the victory.
WINNER: Vain retains.
COMMENTS: This was a fine television match that had a nice tease of an early tapout victory. Personally, I never felt Vain was ever threatened by Sexton. The ending continued the Rinauro/Sexton storyline, but it didn’t make Sexton look smart. In general, veteran wrestlers should never blindly give chase and fall easy victim to his opponent. Sexton appears to have gathered crowd sympathy.
RATING: **
- Hunter mantra is like a Busta Rhymes album, “When Disaster Strikes.” Hunter is appalled about Chad Parham’s heinous attack on Ace Rockwell. Parham plugs the “upcoming” NWA World Heavyweight Title tournament and has better things to do than to fish the Atlantic Ocean for challengers. Lance Storm interrupts and confronts the NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion. Hayden Young even talks and sounds like Lance Storm. Young proclaims himself the number one contender to Parham’s title. Parham utterly buries Young, “Mr. Young, on the billboard out front, it says professional wrestling, not WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS. You’re a sideshow, my friend. Kid when you were in your diapers, I was beating contenders all around the world. You call yourself the Attraction? You’re nothing but a sideshow to the Main Attraction. You want a shot? You go lace up what you call boots and you meet me in my ring. This is interview is over.”
Wow, Parham destroyed any credibility Young had. Young tried here, but Parham is incredible. With more experience against wrestlers and performing in front of crowds outside of Georgia, Parham could easily start as a upper midcard heel in WWE.
2. Seth Delay & Adrian Hawkins vs. the Hollywood Brunettes (Andrew Alexander & Kyle Matthews)
THE MATCH: The Brunettes take advantage when Alexander trips up Hawkins on a slingshot maneuver attempt. He pummels Hawkins at ringside before tossing him back in the ring. Matthews prevents Hawkins’ rally with a nice dropkick for a two count. The Brunettes dominate Hawkins using classic tag team strategy. Hawkins finally buys himself time with a slingshot back elbow on Matthews. Delay receives the hot tag and happily obliges with the Mo Howard eyelock. The Brunettes score a near fall after an enziguri on Delay. They set up for the Sheeney Curse, but Hawkins makes the saves Delay’s carcass. Delay tosses a chair to Alexander and conveniently pulls an Eddie Guerrero. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, lying, cheating and stealing still equals a victory.
WINNER: Delay & Hawkins by DQ.
COMMENTS: Most elements of a good tag match were here. The Brunettes display good team work and perform like a veteran tag team. They rarely overdo double teaming and perform moves beyond their capabilities. Delay’s zany character is slowly gaining momentum.
RATING: **
- Greg Hunter heads to the back to see what evil chicanery Adam Roberts is plotting. Hunter is oblivious as to why he surrounded by a bunch of men and I mean, a bunch of angry men: Adam Roberts, Don Matthews, Brody Ray Chase and Brandon Phoenix. Whew, that’s a mouthful. Roberts commands Hunter to shut up and confers with Brody Ray & Phoenix. He suggests the two teams set their differences aside and form a single unit. Chase suggests they become the Four Horsemen of NWA Anarchy. WHOO~! Roberts dubs them the Anger Alliance. Brody Ray loves it and leads the troops into war.
3. Anger Alliance (Adam Roberts & Don Matthews & Brody Ray Chase & Brandon Phoenix) vs. “Brokeback” Billy Buck & “the Human Slot Machine” Jeff Jameson & Derek Driver & Steven Walters
THE MATCH: I have deep respect for a man with one arm stepping into the ring, but I even deeper respect for a man with one arm that can wrestle. It’s obvious someone spoke to Matthews about his chops because he lights up Walters’ chest. Walters makes Matthews pay with a wheelbarrow bulldog, a dropkick and step ladder senton for a near fall. After commercial, Buck turns Brokeback after receiving a double slam on a double DDT attempt. Johnson calls AA apocalyptic as the Cornelia Wrecking Crew continue their assault on Brokeback Billy. Brody Ray softens up Buck’s back with a pump handle slam and follows up with the Ric Flair Knee Drop of Doom. WHOO~! Johnson calls New Kids of the Block the best foursome in history even though they weren’t wrestlers. Roberts decapitates Buck with a clothesline, but Walters makes another save on a pinfall attempt. Buck finally fights back, but Brody Ray annihilates him with a facebuster. The faces rally the crowd and King lands a desperation clothesline on Matthews. Before Buck can make the save, Double A minus the MCO launches a premeditated attack on the faces. Matthews takes advantage on Buck with the snakeeyes and a nasty clothesline for the victory.
WINNER: Anger Alliance or whatever “Double A” and “Enforcer” Arn Anderson references you can make.
COMMENTS: This was an extended squash where Buck took an extended beating. Buck scores points for selling the beating, especially selling Matthews’ clothesline like a million bucks. The Anger Alliance has the right mix of comedy and seriousness to make their gimmick work.
RATING: *½
4. NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Title: Chad Parham (ch.) vs. Hayden Young
THE MATCH: Johnson insinuates that Hunter has an extracurricular relationship with Young. Parham spends the opening moments by attempting to humiliate his much younger adversary, but Young proves that he knows a little something about wrestling, too. Parham rewards a head scissors takedown with a stiff chop. WHOO~! Parham sends Young flying to the floor with a forearm. Parham tosses Young aside on a second head scissors takedown attempt and follows up with a flying knee. He demonstrates his strength with his patented delayed vertical suplex for a near fall. After commercial, Johnson continues to piss in his pants about the total destruction of the NWA Elite. Young lands an enziguri after escaping a chinlock. After buying precious time, Young goes on an offensive flurry. He heads up to the High Rent District, but Parham cuts him off. Parham sets up for a superplex, but Young tosses him off. Young lands the Flying Squirrel, but like RVD, Young sells his ribs before making the cover. Parham rolls to the floor where Young wipes him out. Young makes a horrible calculation by tossing Parham back into the ring. Parham shoves the referee into the ropes and takes advantage with the dreaded piledriver.
WINNER: Parham retains.
COMMENTS: Young didn’t do badly at all against Parham, but he over relies on high flying maneuvers and needs to focus on grappling. The winner was never in doubt after Parham buried Young earlier on.
RATING: *¾
- OVERALL: As usual, this was good TV with only a bad thing or two. Character development was a major theme and the pacing was very good. Overall, this episode accomplished its goals.
