In front of crowd that started out at about 250-300 and ended with over 1000, NAW along with KRZR 103.7FM gave the Static X fans a pre show they will never forget!

The show started with NAW Host and new NAW Commissioner, Sir Nigel Bolton, bringing NAW Light Heavyweight champion Bulldog Brian Raymond to the ring.  Bulldog, who also holds the SPW Heavyweight and the RPW California Heavyweight relinqueshed the Light Heavyweight title and was there in the ring to Referee a 4 way Dance for the title.

Supreme Dragon out lasted Dante, El Flaco Logo and Kryptonite in a 4 way dance that can only be described as a brutal Pier 6 brawl. The match went all over the venue as all 4 men battled both inside and outside the ring. Finally, Supreme Dragon rolled Dante up for the 1-2-3 and is the New NAW Light Heavyweight Champion.

The second match saw JD Bishop The Big Ugly and his new tag partner, Johnny Onyx take on the unusual pairing of Tommy Tsunami and Shane Damage. Poor Tsunami got the worst of the beating as, Big Ugly and Onyx cut the ring in half and brilliantly worked over Tsunami with Damage getting in for little offense. Finally Tsunanmi was pinned for the 1-2-3 and Big Ugly and Onyx were victorious.

The third match saw newly crowned NAW Tag Team Champions, Scotty Love and Rayne take on the unique pairing of Miss Maxi Minx & Super Dave. What a high flying match this was, at times, Super Dave took a real beating from the Tag Champs but, using the same technique they used on the former champs The Crash Test Rejects in Vancouver BC just 2 weeks before to win the titles, the veteran and the rookie whittled away at Super Dave's defenses. But Super Dave isnt called Super for nothing, he battled back taking both men out and with a diving tag to Maxi Minx, sent her to the top rope for a splash on Scotty Love and a 1-2-3 to crown new NAW Tag Team Champions!, Maxi Minx and Super Dave!

The forth match was a "Fresno Street fight" between Devious Ollie Anderson and Handsome Jack, this was a brutal match with Trash can lids, other wrestlers and finally a table getting involved. At one point after Handsome Jack had been KO'd the rookie behemoth Red Rhino stormed the ring and started to administer a sever beating to the smaller Anderson. At one point, Rhino threw Anderson into the ropes, then held down the ropes on the other side of the ring while Handsome Jack preceeded to Arm drag Anderson over the top rope and onto a table while didnt break. At this point several other wrestlers stormed the ring, attacked Red Rhino then ran out again. During the confusion, Handsome Jack powerbombed Anderson threw the table. Kryptonite then threw Anderson back in the ring and attacked him, while Handsome Jack went back to the dressing area. Anderson finally got the better of Kryptonite,  grabbed the trash can lid and ran back to the dressing area only to meet Jack coming back out. Anderson hit him full force with the lid then ran him into the ring post and back into the ring to eventually get the 1-2-3 on Handsome Jack for the win.

The fifth match of the day saw Bulldog Brian Raymond take on the mammoth, Super Destroyer 2000 for the #1 Contendership for the NAW heavyweight title. SD2k took Bulldog to task as SD2k easliy was a head taller and a lot larger than the young superstar. Bulldog was taken to town by some very scientific wrestling by SD2K, but Bulldog prevailed and countered all moves. At one point, Bulldog got SD2K in position to give the big man a German suplex, Bulldog powered SD2k up and over and the crowd gasped and followed with a "Holy S#!t chant!  Once they recovered, SD2K picked Bulldog up for a Powerbomb but Bulldog powered his way out of it, came over SD2k,  and rolled him up for the upset 1-2-3 (Thanks to Glen for refreshing my old brain on that match)

The final match of the day saw, Shane Damage team up with Supreme Dragon against Dante and Kryptonite. This was a wild match with Kryptonite end up injuring his hand, leaving Dante alone against Damage and the Dragon, but then somehow Damage thought Dragon was who he was to wrestle and in his confusion started to work over his partner. During this time, Devious Ollie Anderson came from out of nowhere and KO'd  Kryptonite, and tried to take his place as Dante's partner only to try and attack Dante. Confusion reigned but finally Referee Bobby Corona restored order and Dante pinned Supreme Dragon for the win, then attacked Kryptonite after the match.

If that wasnt bad enough, Dante grabbed the mic from Sir Nigel and proceed to shoot on our host KRZR and the music they play. This brought 2 rather large KRZR employees out to ringside of which Dante belittled them even more. Ollie Anderson with a steel chair, came into the ring to cover Dante's back At this point these 2 large men stormed the ring, Ollie KO'd one with the chair, whole the other tried to splash Dante into the corner, but Dante got the better of the big man and the two of them rolled over the top rope and down on the ground of which saw all the NAW wrestlers and KRZR employees storm the ring to seperate the 4 men. I dont think we have seen the last of this feud between the Big Men of KRZR and Dante and Ollie Anderson. Stay turned to the NAW website ( http://www.northamericanwrestling.com ) and KRZR at 103.7fm in Fresno ( http://www.krzr.com ) as I know we will see another KRZR event combined with a NAW show to settle this feud!  NAW would liek to Thank Rick Rodham and KRZR for sponsering this Event.
