Hello wrestling fans and welcome back to another edition of
The Insider Report. This week I'll recap all the happenings from the April
19th EWF show from the EWF Arena. It was a great show and a good number of
people came out to watch the event. So without further wait, on with the show!
The Insider arrived early and got my usual large popcorn,
Mt. Dew and a snickers bar. They should have a package deal for people like
me! After getting my grub, I had to grab a front row seat to witness the
action for myself; up close and personal.
The show started off with Referee Jeff Landis being
announced as the referee for our first match. It would pit Liberty Kid against
the returning "Mexican Madman" Hypnosis. A great fast paced
luchadore style match here. High spot after high spot for the first few
minutes made for a good first match to watch. Hypnosis hit an awesome 357
(like Mysterio’s 619) and looked like a quick win for the Hispanic
causing Panic... But Liberty Kid decided to take things to the outside
and it just so happened that EWF Star, Snake was sitting in the first row.
Come to find out, Snake was quite angered that he did not have a match this
week after being attacked by Hypnosis last week and was in the front row
protesting. Snake took it upon himself to interfere in this match up, at which
point the ref called for the bell. The match was ruled in favor of Hypnosis
after Snake attacked him. Bit of ring rust. We'll see if he can shake it off
next week.

Our second match of the
evening would be a pretty good one. Referee for the contest would be Jason
Harding. Johnny Law came out and got a nice pop from the crowd by spitting an
extremely hot fireball, but the crowd soon learned just how much of a jerk
Johnny really is. Law proceeded to provoke pretty much everyone in attendance
to a fight. Kinda funny how he had a scared look on his face as his opponent,
Hellrasier came out to a huge ovation from the fans. Hellraiser continues to
be one of the top guys on the ovation list week after week and this show was
just as hot.
Both men finally locked up and Law took control early on.
Law wasn't too smart though, as he continued to yell at the fans during the
match, which finally allowed Hellraiser to regain control and start to wear
down the chump. Hellraiser came with a fury of power moves and quickly started
to wear Johnny Law down. Law tried to regain control with a rake to the eyes,
but Hellraiser's mask wasn't having any of that! Hellrasier shook it off,
laughed and continued the all out assault. Hellrasier was able to finish
Johnny Law off with his finisher and grab the 1-2-3 pin. Law was pretty
steamed after the match and let everyone know just what was on his mind at the
time. Thanks a lot, but nobody cares Mr. Johnny Law. You suck!

Our next match of the evening would be a David versus
Goliath battle. The huge beast from New York, Big Nasty came to the ring and
immediately made his presence known. The big man towered over everyone and
everything. His opponent would be the Flying Phenom, Pheonix! Pheonix seems to
be gaining respect back from the fans each and every week, and is gaining mine
as well. His attitude has changed and his ring work has stepped up a notch. I
truly believe this guy can hang with the best in the business. The bell was
rung and the action was starting to boil.
Pheonix used his speed to his advantage to try to stick and
move against Big Nasty. Nasty went for a big boot to the mouth and Pheonix was
able to duck it and get on the attack at that point. He stuck to the stick and
move approach and it worked well as the Flying Phenom as starting to work the
legs of the big man. Nasty was now very limited as both legs were being worked
on by Pheonix and that made the match even more interesting. Pheonix continued
to "chop down the tree" and nailed a great split legged moonsault
from the top rope on the fallen Nasty. The ref scurried across the ring and
made the count, 1-2-3 with the win going to the Flying Phenom, Pheonix!
With a huge roar from the crowd, Pheonix quickly made his
way to the locker room as Big Nasty laid slain in the ring. After some careful
digging this week, it has also been brought to my attention that Ruin and Big
Nasty have split as a Tag Team. It will be interesting to see where the big
man goes from here. As long as he's not coming towards me, I'm ok!

Our next match of the evening would be a good one with some
nice drama involved. Chad
Collyer, who is one of my favorite EWF stars, returned
this week and had a few words for the fans. Collyer claimed he got the
screwjob last week in an epic, old school style match with Apollo Star that
lasted all 15 minutes and went to a time limit draw. Collyer exclaimed he knew
he was a better wrestler than anyone in the EWF locker room and has proved it
all across the globe. Collyer made it clear that his travels of Japan, England
and work with the WWE made him a top gun in the EWF. He then challenged anyone
from the back to say different.
The music hit and Collyer
shut his mouth quickly as Jack Hammer came out to showcase his skills against
Collyer. Collyer quickly took Hammer to the mat and started to work the arm.
Trying to slow things down and wear his opponent down slowly. That is the
game plan of wrestlers like Collyer. Ground em and pound em. Take away the
opponents best offensive weapon and then go for the kill. Collyer tried for
several pins on Hammer, but to no success. Hammer was able to get to the ropes
and get back to his feet. Hammer came back with a fury of punches and forearms
that overwhelmed Collyer and allowed Hammer to gain control. Jack Hammer had a
game plan of his own and that was to work on the legs of Collyer. This kept
the match mostly on the mat as Hammer looked to wear down his opponent slowly
as well. Hammer went for a few pin attempts himself, but to no success.
Collyer still had fight left in him.
Collyer was able to get to the ropes and both men got back to their
feet. Both men's offense was greatly diminished as they worked on each other
quite a bit. Collyer was able to get Jack Hammer in a Texas Cloverleaf, which
was perfectly executed. Luckily for Hammer, he was close to the ropes and
hoped to get a rope break. The referee ordered the rope break and proceeded to
give Collyer a five count. Collyer did not break the hold and was thus
disqualified for his actions.

It was now time for our Main Event of the evening. Hank let
us all know that we were not liked by him by calling us several names along
the way. The big ragin redneck hoped to seize the day and finally become EWF
Heavyweight champion tonight, as he would face the champ, Anarchy once and for
all. Anarchy came out to one of the loudest ovations of the night and it was
well deserved, as the champ has been battling all challengers with a
vengeance. The match started off with Hank displaying his power advantage of
Anarchy, by tossing him around the ring. After a few bumps to the mat, Anarchy
knew it was time to get down to business.
Hank proceeded to parade around the ring in typical redneck
fashion, only to be mocked by anarchy moments later. Anarchy, who usually is
not the comedy type, gave some of the best laughs of the evening. All of those
in attendance will attest to that! Moving on, Anarchy looked to have the match
in control and started to work on the big redneck's legs. Anarchy called out
to one lucky fan for a number between one and ten and delivered the brutal
stomps to the legs and midsection of Hank Calhoun. Anarchy went for the pin,
but only got a 2 count from the ref. At this point Anarchy started to question
if the ref could count to three or not.
Hank was able to get back to his feet and square off with
Anarchy once again. This time Hank would have the upper hand and start to work
the champ over with a routine of typical southern style brawling. Hank whipped
Anarchy to the corner, but a nice reversal sent Hank slamming into the corner
instead. Anarchy ran across the ring and nailed a great spear to the
midsection and immediately whipped Hank across the ring to the other corner.
Another spear by Anarchy to the midsection of Hank Calhoun had Hank almost
split in half. Anarchy whipped Hank across the ring once again and attempted a
spear, only to spear the hard steel corner post instead. Hank stumbled out of
the corner just in time and laughed as the champ laid across the ropes in
pain. They say three times a charm; this time the third time equals pain.
Hank was able to pull the champ to his feet and start to
work him over once again. Hank went for several pin attempts but with no
success. Hank was quite frustrated at this point and went for his finishing
move, The Rebel Bomb. Hank connected with the move and got about 2 and a half
count from the ref. Hank got to his feet to yell at the ref and this allowed
Anarchy to also regain himself and get to his feet. Anarchy was able to lock
Hank in for his finisher at this point and able to make a quick pin. The ref
made the count, 1-2-3! Anarchy retains his EWF Heavyweight Title once again,
while Hank Calhoun goes home beaten and bruised.

Next week Anarchy faces ECW, WCW and WWE Superstar,
Raven, as he comes to the EWF to face the Silence behind the Violence. From
what I have observed, this is going to be a very crazy match and will
definitely be a knock down, drag out fight to the end. Tickets are still on
sale as of Saturday night for only $12 for adults and $10 for kids. I know
I'll be there in the front row ready to see one of the greatest matches of the
year indeed.
Next week will also include the finals of the BMF Title
Tournament, as King will face Hank Calhoun. These two men have had some very
exciting matches in the past and I'm sure this coming week will be all the
better as the BMF title is at stake. With more matches being announced this
week, this Saturday, April 26th looks to be a huge show for the EWF that will
be remembered for quite some time. I hope to see you all there Saturday night.
That’s all for this week wrestling fans. Be sure to check
out The Insider's run the Rumor Mill for all the nitty gritty dirt that’s
has been brewing in the EWF. Only The Insider brings you this exclusive inside
info and this is the only place you can find it. Thanks for reading!
