NWA Anarchy TV Report
Episode 86
October 22, 2007
Congratulations to “Awesome” Austin Creed for landing a contract with TNA Wrestling. His character was light years ahead of his wrestling ability upon entering NWA Anarchy. However, Austin improved faster in six months than most wrestlers do in an entire career. I met Austin several months back and find him to be one of the nicest personalities in not just wrestling, but in life. Here’s wishing an awesome career to an awesome person. Also, Caleb Conley faces off with Charlie Dreamer for the new ECWA promotions in North Carolina. Now, welcome to 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!
- Last week on NWA Anarchy TV, “Professional Wrestling’s Only Serial Killer” Iceberg eliminated Phil Shatter to earn a title shot at NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Ace Rockwell. This week, Jeremy Vain with Mr. Adonis defends the NWA Anarchy TV Title against former TV champ Adrian Hawkins.
1. The NWA Elite (Kory Chavis & Jeff Lewis & Phil Shatter & Jeff Lewis) with “the Commander & Chief of the NWA Elite” Jeff G Bailey absolutely destroyed Steven Walters & Kris King & the Hustle Squad (MJ & Penny)
The crowd showed their appreciation for Phil Shatter’s powerbomb by demanding an encore. Shatter responds on Penny with the PTSD. “The Human Holocaust” Abomination tags in and tosses King straight to Hades. Chavis even gets in on the act on King as well by delivering several brutal European uppercuts. Chavis connects with the Spinespliitta and pulls King up at two. Lewis finally receives the tag and works over King. Johnson contemplates Bailey’s master plan, but most likely it is to turn on Lewis. Abomination destroys NJ with the Tree Slim. Lewis tags in to make the cover and score the pinfall victory. Afterwards, the Feature Presentation has decided enough is enough and plasters Bailey. Chavis dismisses Lewis’s objection with the Spinesplitta. The NWA Elite serve as jury, judge and executioner as they destroy Lewis. Abomination is prepared to deliver Lewis a severance package tree slam, but Dominous makes the save with the Big Foot of Doom! Dominous pulls his mask off and reveals himself to be Mikael Judas. The Elite scrambles to hold Abomination back as Judas poses in mid ring. Judas stares down Lewis and delivers a message.
COMMENTS: The NWA Elite were awesome in their total domination of their opposition. The Hustle Squad make awesome enhancement talent and are commended for their bumping ability. Lewis’s face turn was predictable and deservedly so because everyone has popped wildly for him in recent weeks. Judas is over and will have no problem garnering crowd reaction while feuding with the Elite. Like Larry Goodman says, fans love bad guys like the Undertaker. Even in Burlington, NC, Joey Silvia, who is among the top 5 workers in the US, garners a huge face pop despite playing a heel. Then again, bad boys have been cheered since the days of the Road Warriors.
- Todd Sexton offers Wes Grissom advice. Obviously, Tony Santerelli realizes that Sexton’s advice is like substandard public housing. (Just kidding.) Santerelli calls it down the middle by telling Grissom he will never be a professional wrestler. Sexton interrupts him and offers Santerelli a rematch with Grissom. OK, so Todd was joking and tells the former Deep South Wrestling Tag Team Champion that he has a match. All he has to do is find a partner to battled Todd & Wes. Santerelli concludes anyone would tag with him because “I’m a superstar.” However, the segment isn’t over quite yet. Santerelli interrupts the Anger Alliance and Brody Ray Chase asks him, “Who are you?” LOL! Kyle Matthews informs Santerelli that a team of five would make no sense. Santerelli turns to head of TNA Talent Relations Terry Taylor and offers several flattering comments. Santerelli loves Taylor’s WWE work. (Yeah, as the Red Rooster!) Taylor says he waiting for a call and Santerelli takes it as a yes. Santerelli turns around and lo and behold, it’s another wrestler, Andrew Pendleton III. Santerelli says he’s looking for a tag team partner and Pendleton admits his tag partner left him. (Who can forget a name like Sex & Money?)
2. “The Untouchable” Jeremy Vain w/Mr. Adonis pinned Adrian Hawkins to retain the NWA Anarchy TV Title.
I’m not sure how Hawkins earned a singles title shot by primarily focusing on the tag division, but who cares, he’s earned it. Vain deposits Hawkins to the Arena floor in the opening moments. Hawkins returns fire by tripping up Vain and delivering a pounding. Hawkins dominates the offense with a head scissors takedown and a cross bodyblock. Vain retreats, but Hawkins slingshots him back into the ring for a two count. Vain eludes a dropkick and catapults Hawkins’s throat underneath the bottom rope. After commercial, Hawkins counters Vain with a jawbreaker. Hawkins gains a second wind with a springboard back elbow for a near fall. Hawkins gains numerous near falls before Vain counters with a gourdbuster for a near fall. Hawkins connects with the Unprettier for a two count. The referee chases Mr. Adonis off the apron. Hawkins scores another pair of near falls. Unfortunately, Mr. Adonis ends Hawkins’s hot streak by grabbing his ankle and allowing Vain to hit the VKO and VDT for the pinfall victory.
COMMENTS: Once Delay & Hawkins turned their attention from Patrick Bentley, their popularity has skyrocketed. Hawkins was on his game tonight and has improved. Though there were too many near falls, the ending was beautiful.
- The Brunettes head out to attack a defenseless Hawkins. They connect with the Sheeny Curse to John Johnson’s delight. What a despicable act. They pull out scissors and perform cosmetology reconstructive surgery upon Hawkins’s hair. The referees finally head out to stop the carnage. There’s nothing like running an old school hair angle. The Brunettes head back to the locker room and reenter the ring to further humiliate Hawkins. What vile human beings the Brunettes are.
3. Todd Sexton & Wes Grissom defeated Tony Santerelli & Andrew Pendleton III.
Pendleton locks up with the Babe Ruth of professional wrestling according to Johnson. Santerelli tags in and orders Sexton to tag in Grissom. Grissom obliges and wipes out a cocky Santerelli with a dropkick. Santerelli takes exception with a forceful shoulderblock and applies a chinlock/armlock variation. Johnson heads backstage while Santerelli tags in Pendleton. Pendleton wrenches Grissom’s arm and punts his back. After a Rude Awakening across the knee, Pendleton tags into Santerelli. Santerelli applies a hammerlock and lands a trio of palm thrusts to Grissom’s chest. Grissom buys himself time by escaping a powerslam and makes the hot tag to Sexton. Santerelli high tails it and Sexton scores a near fall after a flying knee. Grissom tags back in and Santerelli kicks him smack dab in the back. Grissom collapses, but Sexton superkicks Pendleton while the referee scorns Santerelli. Grissom gains the win with a running shooting star press. Money is just not the same without Sex.
COMMENTS: This is a basic, but fun and effective storyline.
- Greg Hunter hands Slim J the mike and he has one thing to say, he wants Patrick Bentley. Well, this brings out “the Reverend” Dan Wilson. Wilson is the man that can make Slim’s wishes come true and can slay them as fast they came in. Wilson has a proposition and promptly arranges it if Slim can defeat Azreal and Shaun Tempers. Slim J accepts the proposition.
4a. “The Dirty South’s Contribution to the NWA Arena” Slim J pinned Azreal.
Johnson received an important announcement while in the locker room; Jerry Palmer will have an important announcement regarding the Mysterious Benefactor Tournament. Azreal dominates Slim by delivering stiff kicks and dropkicks. Azreal orders the crowd to remain quiet and deafens the crowd with a trio of knife edge chops. The rudo contingent was in full effect because they were demanding one more time. Azreal follows up with a huge facewasher. Ouch, that didn’t look like it hurt; it hurt just by watching it. After commercial, Azreal connects with a brainbuster for a two count. The crowd trade dualing chants as Azreal prepares to deliver the Throat Slit piledriver. However, Slim counters with the cradle piledriver for the victory.
4b. Slim J defeated Shaun Tempers by DQ.
Tempers realizes in a gauntlet match there is no rest period. Slim buys himself a few precious moments of real estate with a double stomp into an elbow drop for a two count. Tempers makes Slim pay by attempting to humble him. Slim escapes, but runs into a powerslam for a 2½ count. Slim realizes he needs to end the match now and scores many near falls. Slam lands a series of kicks to the head and scores another two count with a fisherman buster. Slim heads to the High Rent District, but Wilson clips him up. Tempers seizes the opportunity and plasters Slim with the Staff of Righteousness. Wow, the Staff of Righteousness has underwent several reincarnations lately.
4c. Patrick Bentley pinned Slim J.
Bentley smells blood and smears Slim’s blood across his forehead. Bentley focuses his attack by further clawing Slim’s blood drenched forehead. Slim mounts a huge collapse that causes Bentley to collapse. Slim connects with his flying inverted DDT for a two count. Somehow, Slim continues to mount an offensive onslaught on Bentley. The tide turns when Bentley ducks a somersault move in the corner. Bentley finishes off Slim with the Dark Driver. Afterwards, the Reverend proclaims that Bentley has been purged of the plague called Slim J. I highly doubt it.
COMMENTS: This match told a great story. It made me believe Slim had a chance to run the gauntlet.
OVERALL: This was compelling television: good wrestling with well executed and thought out storylines.
