Hello
wrestling fans and welcome back to another edition of "The Insider
Report". The Insider is sorry for being a little late this week, but I have
been investigating some very interesting things in the EWF this week, in which
you can read more about in the rumor
column. So without further wait, lets check
out the action. I
showed up late to the arena and my cozy front row seat I always like to get was
taken, so I actually got a different view of the action this week. Having to sit
farther away from the action than normal I could get a different perspective as
well. Which was rather interesting.
I also, I changed up my "EWF Diet" from buttery popcorn and Mt. Dew;
to even more buttery popcorn, 3 Snickers bars and some of the new Gatorade (good
choice snack bar girls). Dinner was great to say the least! * Din T. Moore beat Nigerian Nightmare Our
next match of the night paired two former tag team partners turned bitter
enemies. J Real who called out his former partner Halo, before the match looked
to be ready and in good shape for this match. Halo came out to a nice reaction
from the crowd and didn't let us down. Halo's highflying moves are pretty
awesome to watch and J Real was coming back with some great moves of his own. At
one point in the match, Halo delivered a flying body press to J Real who was
outside the ring! That got everyone on their feet and cheering. J Real tried to
battle back but every move he tried for was reversed by Halo and the defense was
just too much for J Real. Halo got the win via pinfall in nice fashion. I loved
this match and am looking forward to seeing both these guys back in the ring
very soon. * Halo beat J Real Our next match of the evening would be between "Latino Sensation" El Vato and "The Rebel Redneck" Hank Calhoun. Hank came to ringside this week with ONLY Daisy Calhoun and was not aided by Confederate Kid this week. More on that later! El Vato is a great crowd favorite and likely the funniest guy to watch in EWF. His matches are like watching a great action-comedy movie. Vato had to resort to using his quickness and mat skills to work on Hank in this match because Hank had a clear size advantage in this one. Hank had control of the match early on and tried wearing down Vato with some nice moves and working mainly on the legs and back of Vato. Hank was playing it smart by trying to take away the legs of Vato and reduce the speed of him. It seemed to work as Vato had to try to use more of his mat skills to gain an upper hand. Vato finally grabbed the match by the horns and had Hank right where he wanted him and sealed the victory with a nice roll up pin. Referee Jeff Landis called this one right down the middle and gave the win to Vato. Hank looked to be pretty hot after the match and stormed off to the locker room. In the back, Hank was rumored to have got in the face of EWF owner Hurricane telling him he demanded a match worthy of his caliber next week...or else! * El Vato beat Hank Calhoun Our
next match of the evening would be a great technical battle between Drago and
Ryan Paradise. Ryan looked to be focused for this match and Drago looked to be
just as intense. For being two decently sized guys, this match started quite
quickly. Both men started with some fast paced ground moves and exchanged holds
in classic wrestling fashion. It's great to see guys still preserving the spirit
from which this sport has evolved. Ryan had the speed advantage here, but Drago
had the size and strength. Drago used some great moves to wear down Ryan and
keep him on the mat. Paradise finally got to his feet and hit a great
hurricanrana from the corner turnbuckle. This move was hit in textbook perfect
fashion as well. Hats off to the cocky one for it. Drago was down to the mat and
Ryan went to the other corner looking to take the attack to higher limits. After
a missed dropkick from the turnbuckle, Drago whipped Paradise into the ropes and
looked to be gaining control again. Ryan was keen to the idea and took the
Tilt-A-Whirl, but delivered a great DDT to Drago. Thats the first time I've seen
that move done live in person! It was pretty sweet! Ryan seemed to have the
match locked but deemed it time to showboat and that allowed Drago to take
advantage and get the quick 1-2-3 pinfall on Paradise. Drago left ringside
quickly and Ryan looked to be extremely angered and in shock of the loss.
Paradise let everyone in the house know just how mad he was by verbally
insulting quite a few fans using language till this point not heard in the EWF
Arena as he exited the ringside area. This not only made the crowd pretty angry,
but left them shocked as well. * Drago beat Ryan Paradise At this point in the show we needed a break to cool off! It was time for intermission. Time to stock up on drinks and more popcorn! After getting back to my seat I was pleasantly surprised to find a very funny verbal battle between our announcer "Sonny Styles" and some kid in the crowd who was quite the loudmouth himself. After a quick insult of wet diapers and being Michael Jackson's "best friend", the kid was pretty quiet. The crowd seemed to enjoy the battle of wits. On
to our next match of the evening, a special grudge match between
"Rent-A-Cop" A.C. Parker and EWF Owner, Hurricane. Can someone say
squash fest? Hurricane caught A.C. of guard from the start coming out of the
front of the arena wielding a kendo stick. A.C. didn't stand a chance! It was
like watching the Colts beat on some Pee Wee, Flag football team! Great fun to
watch A.C. get his mouth shut up after the many weeks of having to hear his sob
stories. Big thanks to Hurricane for standing up for the fans! After a few
devastating powerhouse moves it looked fatal for the rent-a-cop, A.C. must have
known he would not have a chance in this match up, I’m thinking he must have
talked with Hank Calhoun before the match to watch his back. Hank made a run in
and had an impromptu match with Hurricane. Hank nailed Hurricane square in the
face with a chair (I think legit knocking the big guy out cold) and demanded the
referee count a pinfall.... then exclaiming "How's that for deserving a
title match" Is
this the beginning of a formation between Hank Calhoun and A.C. Parker or merely
a way for Hank to get his point across to Hurricane? * Hurricane vs. AC Parker -- Hank Calhoun interfered and pinned Hurricane It
is now time for the EWF Heavyweight Title match. Jack Hammer, the champion,
would face and unknown mystery opponent. Come to find out, his mystery opponent
would be none other than Pheonix! Pheonix blabbed about how he got screwed over
last week and a mouthful of other excuses. Spare me! Jack Hammer wasn't having
any of it and put a nice big boot in the mouth of Pheonix. How's the rubber and
leather taste Pheonix? Hammer went right to the brawling and looked to be
weakening the smaller Pheonix down quickly. Don't cut Pheonix short though, he
took every punch and kick like a champ. Pheonix finally used his speed to his
advantage and took to the air to wear down the champ. With a quick aerial
assault, Jack Hammer looked to be getting a little tired. Pheonix then went to
work on the legs of the champ, looking to make the big man totally immobile. The
attack was pretty effective as Jack Hammer looked to be favoring his leg midway
thru the match. Pheonix was getting a little too cocky too quick and that
allowed Hammer to recover and keep the battle going. Hammer battled back until
Pheonix broke out the "Brass Knucks", somehow Hammer got a hold of
them and used them against the "Flying Phenom" allowing Hammer to get
the pinfall and retain the belt. Pheonix was pretty mad after the match since he
had lost not once, but twice to Jack Hammer for the EWF Heavyweight title.
Pheonix openly challenged Hammer once again to title match, as he demanded that
the fans respect him. * EWF Title: Jack Hammer (c) beat Pheonix Now
on to our Main Event of the evening, for the EWF Tag Team belts. Big Cheez and
“Real Deal” Christopher Steele, the champions, where to face the challenge
from Big Nasty and Ruin. Real Deal spoke on the mic and called out their
opponents and got things nice and hot before the match. No love lost between
these guys! A good old fashion brawl! non-stop action from the ring of the bell
made for a pretty good match. Big Nasty is one of the bigger guys in the EWF and
his in ring battle with Big Cheez was fun to watch. Real Deal and Ruin are both
veterans of the ring and also showcased a great deal of skill between the two.
The battle was in and out of the ring and had quite a few 2 on 1 situations.
Referee Jeff Landis had his hands full with this one and at times it was just
too much. Big Cheez and Real Deal sealed the win with their trademark move (Does
it have a name yet? The Cheez slicer?) and that was it for Ruin. 1-2-3 and still
EWF Tag Team Champions, Big Cheez and Real Deal Christopher Steele. That wasn't
the end of it though wrestling fans. Ruin and Big Nasty weren't happy with the
loss and demanded a rematch next week. The champs said they couldn't cut it here
tonight so why should they deserve another shot at the straps? Things got
personal as Ruin and Real Deal exchanged verbal warfare and trashed each other
on the mic. After the dust cleared, the stage was set. Next week, Ruin and Big
Nasty get their rematch! This should be a pretty hot match wrestling fans! * Tag Titles: Big Cheez & Real Deal (c) beat Big Nasty & Ruin | |
