NAW/SPW 11/9 Colonial Theater, Sacremento: SD2k Invades!!
As Written by Sir Samurai

Full NAW/SPW results November 9, 2002

At the Historic Colonial Theater

Sacramento, California

The first show under the new NAW Sacramento management began with Tommy Tsunami, Commissioner White, and Sir Samurai entering the ring and all tripping upon doing so. After blaming each other for a bit they got down to the business at hand, hyping the show, which was to feature the two semi-final matches in the Extreme Title Tournament and an SPW Title match. They welcomed El Flaco Loco to the ring as Flaco had a statement about being forced to face the Big Ugly JD Bishop because Dante ordered them to fight. Flaco entered the ring, but before he could speak he was attacked by the entire NAW faction, who hit him with a variety of finishers. Finally SPW wrestlers chased off the NAW faction and Flaco was taken to the hospital. Now onto the results (which, like usual will be pretty brief as I can't take very good notes while standing on stage)

First Match: THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (w/ Shane Dynasty and Alice Ann) vs BLACK METAL and GHETTO MATT

SPW TAG TITLE MATCH: As always the Beautiful People were dressed to the nines and this time they were escorted to the ring by not just Shane Dynasty, but Alice Ann as well. Metal (who is much taller then Clint Douglas and Handsome Jack) and Matt got some good offense and had some great crowd heat in this one. Highlight was when Jack stood on Clint's back for a test of strength with Metal. The Champions were able to get the win and thus retain the their titles when Clint pinned Ghetto Matt.

Second Match: TEAM NAW (Scotty Love, Mike Rayne, Super Dave) vs LUCHA LIBRE MAFIA (Sacramento Dragon, Rabia, Chupacabra)

This grudge match saw some nice spots from everybody and some great power moves from Rabia and Chupa. In the end Sacramento Dragon got the pin on Mike Rayne. Following the match the NAW group destroyed the Lucha Libre Mafia and injured Chupacabra in the process.

Third Match: DANTE vs JOHNNY ONYX

EXTREME TITLE TOURNAMENT SEMI FINAL MATCH: I will be honest with you, this match pissed me off. On one side you had Dante, one of the main heels in the NAW group and on the other you had Johnny Onyx, who has recently been getting some great air time on television and thus a natural face. Plus the fact that both men are very talented workers. And what reaction do they get? The crowd sitting on their hands. They deserved better. In the end Dante got the win with a bit of help.

Fourth Match: SHANE DYNASTY (w/ Alice Ann) vs PRESTON SCOT

Scot was a new comer to the SPW ring and as such the fans did not know how to react to him. Dynasty, with use of the mic, made it very clear prior to the match that he was not on the fan's side. Dynasty got the win here, but I will be honest, I do not remember how. Scot had a good look though and I would like to see him back.

Fifth Match: THE SACRAMENTO DRAGON vs THE BIG UGLY JD BISHOP (w/ Chase)

EXTREME TITLE TOURNAMENT SEMI FINAL MATCH: Because El Flaco Loco and Chupacabra were both injured earlier in the show, Dante decided that their scheduled opponents for the night would face each other and that the winner would advance to the finals of the tournament. This match was, by the way, the lovely Chase's official debut as Bishop's valet. Two shows ago she won the number one fan contest and last month got into an altercation with Bulldog Brian Raymond. This match made me feel the same as the Dante/Onyx match. Both men had a great offense and the match was very solid, but the crowd was just not popping. Steve the ref gave Sacramento Dragon with the win with a bit of a fast count. Earlier in the match Bishop should have gotten the win, but Steve's neck started hurting during the three count and he was not able to finish.

Sixth Match: HUNK GOLDEN and WICKED (w/ Madison) vs KRYPTONITE and JESUS CRUZ

Early in the match it was apparent that Hunk was having problems with his knee and both Krypto and Cruz took advantage of that fact and continued to work said knee. It got so bad that Madison ended up having to help him to the back. While they were gone Krypto and Cruz took advantage of Wicked and eventually Cruz pinned him. Following the match Madison returned and she and Wicked ended up arguing in the ring. Wicked was upset that "his" manager walked out on him during his match. Wicked ended up giving her two vicious slaps to the face and then beating her down. Krypto and Cruz ended up setting Madison up on a ringside table and Wicked came off the top turnbuckle and splashed her through it. While the question of whether Wicked is the new member of Team Homo or not, their is no doubt that Madison was hurt.

Main Event: BULLDOG BRIAN RAYMOND vs SUPER DESTROYER 2002 (w/ Buddy Cetello Esq)

Destroyer was the surprise opponent for Bulldog and the dude is huge. I saw him wrestle in 2000 and if anything he is even bigger now. Plus he can wrestle. This was a very solid match with the bigger Destroyer nailing all sorts of power moves... but Bulldog held his own and certainly gave as much as he took. But in the end NAW got involved, as did Steve the ref, and thus Bulldog was able to retain his belt.
