After a bit of show hyping from MC Tommy Tsunami and ring announcer Sir
Samurai, Kryptonite and The Brown Snake Jesus Cruz come to the ring. After
some interaction with the vocal fans Krypto issues a challenge to Hunk Golden
for the next show.
First Match: THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (w/Shane Dynasty) vs EL FLACO LOCO and
RABIA
SPW TAG TITLE MATCH: The very vocal Dynasty was all over the poor ref for
the entire match, which caused a lot of confusion and thus allowed the champions
to hit all sorts of double team moves. This finish saw Rabia get knocked
out and pinned after a shot to the head from a title belt.
Second Match: "The Trendsetter" ADAM THORNSTOWE vs THE BUG
Bug has been gone for awhile, but I think most of the fans remembered him
and were pleasantly surprised to see him make his SPW return. Both men were
fan favorites, at least at the start of the match, but as things progressed
Bug let a more aggressive side creep out and he used a variety of underhanded
techniques to get the win... but he failed as Adam hit the Setter Splash (Frogsplash)
for the victory.
Third Match: "The Brownsnake" JESUS CRUZ and SCOTTY LOVE vs "The Golden One"
HUNK GOLDEN and SACRAMENTO DRAGON (w/ El Flaco Loco and Madison)
Dragon came out as Brock Lesnar for this one. Both teams worked well together
considering it was the first time that either pairing had seen action in
an SPW ring. When the team of Cruz and Love began to dominate Madison jumped
into the ring and hit Cruz with multiple Low Blows, which allowed Golden
to hit the Frogsplash for the win. Golden then accepted Krypto's challenge
for the next show.
Fourth Match: "Ridiculous" MIKE RAYNE (w/ The NAW) vs LUSTER THE LEGEND
This was, I believe, the first singles match in SPW for both men. From time
to time, as they usually do, Rayne's NAW teammates got involved. Eventually
the ref had no choice but to count both men out of the ring as they had brawled
up and down the aisle for some time. Thus this match was thrown out and both
men fought their way to the back.
Fifth Match: DANTE vs BLACK METAL
EXTREME TITLE/LUCHA LIBRE RULES MATCH: Lucha Rules mean that this match was
two out of three falls. At some points Dante was able to get some nice offense
against the much bigger Metal due to Dante's great speed, but Metal's strength
advantage was staggering at other points in the match. The first fall was
awarded to Black Metal and the second to Dante to even things up. Dante then
retained his title by scoring the third fall.
Sixth Match: GHETTO MATT vs KRYPTONITE (w/ Jesus Cruz)
While the fans were not overly familiar with Matt as he has only worked in
SPW a few times, the match was very solid and seemed well received by the
crowd. Though Cruz was at ringside this match was pretty clean and it was
Krypto that scored the pinfall victory.
Main Event: "Bulldog" BRIAN RAYMOND vs "The Big Ugly" JD BISHOP
STRAIGHT TO HELL/SPW TITLE MATCH: The first two falls were pinfall or submission.
The third fall saw the title belt hang in one of the corners of the ring,
while the other three corners had weapons. At ringside was a table wrapped
in barbed wire and a table covered in lightbulbs. Because of the importance
of the match it was decided that there would be three refs... SPW Senior
Official Martin, the former Senior Official Even Steven Currie, and the host
of the show Tommy Tsunami. Bulldog was escorted to the ring by the members
of NAW while Bishop was escorted by both Chase, his valet, and the members
of Team Supreme. Both men sent their support to the locker room before the
match began. Once the match did begin Tsunami and Currie kept getting in
each other's way and screwing up the other man's attempts at counting a pin.
Bulldog got Bishop in a the Dog Collar Stretch (Tazzmission) but Ugly was
able to kick off the turnbuckle and turn it into a pin. Steve ruled that
Ugly was knocked out by the move while Tsunami ruled that Bishop had scored
the pin. Steve and Tommy argued until Steve slapped Tommy. Tsunami responded
by shattering his hard hat on Steve's head (Tommy was wearing a red hard
hat instead of his usual red cowboy hat). Senior Official Martin ordered
both Tsunami and Currie to the back and ruled that the score was 1-1 and
the weapons (and title belt) were moved into place... and things got scary.
The first big spot saw a bat covered in light tubes explode into action.
Bulldog also splashed Bishop through a table, but Bishop got revenge by putting
Bulldog through the table covered in light tubes. The amount of blood lost
in this one was staggering. Bishop got the win and was thus crowned the new
SPW champion. He and Bulldog shook hands and hugged in a great show of respect,
which caused the NAW to come out and beat Bulldog down. Bishop ended up making
the save for the former champion. From the looks of things Bulldog was hurt
pretty bad and may end up being out of action for awhile. Full SPW/NAW December 1 Results
