Cino Wrestling: REVIEW - NEO SPIRIT PRO WRESTLING'S WYLDECARD

THURSDAY AUGUST 18, 2011

FIGHT CLUB CANADA, NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO

ATTENDANCE: ~200

It was a night of high-flying and explosive wrestling action as Neo Spirit Pro returned to Fight Club Canada in Niagara Falls.

The show had tournament action, new tag-team champions, and a hard fought battle for the independent championship which was barely retained by its holder.

Match 1 - "The Bearded Dragon" Scotty Turner vs. "Surf's up" Johnny Wave - NSP Light Heavyweight tournament

A hard hitting match between the bearded one and the surfer dude saw Turner tried to ground the high-flying Wave, choking him on the ropes and trying to chop the skin off his chest (Cino Wrestling gives the award for loudest chops of the night to Turner).

Turner controlled the pace for most of the bout, but Wave had some tricks up his sleeve as he used multiple cross bodies and splashes to knock Turner down.

Later in the match Wave went to the well too many times and crashed and burned outside the ring, only making it back inside the ring at the referees count of nine.

Turner attempted to hit his flying head butt, but Wave rolled out of the way as Turner splatted on the canvas. Wave then ascended the turnbuckle and hit his phoenix splash for the win.

Infamous Jay Moore entered the NSP Arena, taking the microphone from ring announcer Topher Whiteman and kicking him out of the ring.

Moore went on to explain that "your precious Ring of Honor star" Michael Elgin once again did not show up to fight Andrew Davis in their announced chairs match, and that Davis should be the winner by forfeit.

Davis entered the ring, complete with the battered steel chair that he has destroyed opponents with over the past few months. Moore went on to say how Davis was the best and that Elgin could never beat him, and had the referee (reluctantly) raise Davis' hand in 'victory'.

Davis and Moore didn't see Elgin standing behind them, having sneaked into the ring from the crowd.

Match 2 - Chair match - Andrew Davis (with Jay Moore) vs. "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin.

Davis turned around and immediately bolted out of the ring, leaving Moore alone. Moore only had time to ask "What are you doing?" until he turned around and promptly turned a shade of ghostly white after seeing the massive Elgin. Moore swung the chair at Elgin, who easily grabbed it away.

Davis re-entered the ring trying to get the jump on Elgin, but he was thrown into the corner and was fed many stiff chops to the chest (but not quite as loud as Turner's).

Both men ended up outside the ring, where Jay Moore tried to assist Davis, but only got a giant kick to the chest from Elgin. Davis battled back and brought the fight back inside the squared circle, slamming Elgin on the chair on a few occasions. Elgin was able to turn the tables and slam Davis on the chair many times as well. One move the fans enjoyed was Elgin sat Davis in the chair, and delivered a massive running clothesline, tumbling Davis and the chair over.

Nearing the end of the match, Jay Moore tried once more to help out, but Elgin grabbed him and was about to exact some sweet revenge via powerbomb.....until Ashley Sixx sauntered down to ringside.

"Heyyyy refereeeeeeeeee izzz it my match yet?" slurred out Sixx, clearly drunk. "I’m on now right?"

As the referee dealt with the inebriated Sixx, Moore slid the chair to Davis, who bashed Elgin right in the skull, bringing him to his knees. With a battle cry of "DIE!!!!!!!!!" Davis smashed in Elgin's head again and pinned him for the victory.

Sixx entered the ring, still drunk, and ordered his match take place now. Josh Alexander obliged.

Match 3 - "The Hit" Ashley Sixx vs. "The Ronin" Josh Alexander

Alexander began his offense quickly, grabbing Sixx and tossing him overhead across the ring. Sixx recovered (maybe not feeling any pain?) and delivered attacks of his own. Sixx likes his high-flying moves, but missed many of them as he could not balance on the ropes, or would fall through the ropes onto the ring apron or the floor. As the match went on, it began to look like Alexander was getting frustrated, being unable to defeat a drunk person. Sixx ended up outside the ring once again and it didn't look like he would make it back before the count of 10...until he grabbed a beer from underneath the ring and began to drink. The referee then stopped the match, much to Alexander's protest, saying how Sixx was unfit to compete and that he consumed a banned substance during competition. Sixx, still adamant that he could compete, began to rant about Neo Spirit and how much he hated it here. He then asked the crowd "........Hey you, dada all come ta see Dubya See Dubya (WCW) or the NWO? NWO 4 LIFE!!"

Sixx's friend Johnny Wave came to the ring and tried to take the microphone away from his drunken friend. Sixx stopped him and said "I know we're friends and all but you're a good guy and I'm a bad guy and this won’t work." Sixx ranted some more until referees and Wave physically escorted him to the locker room. Sixx flipped off the crowd before getting shoved through the curtain.

"Dangerboy" Derek Wylde and the "Queen of Neo" Cherry Bomb entered the NSP Arena to loud boos and cat calls. Wylde shot one glance at announcer Topher Whiteman, which was enough to send him diving out of the ring back to the announcer's table (Whiteman had been the victim of many beatings at the hands of Wylde and his "friends" at past events.) Wylde rhetorically asked the crowd "who the dumbest member of the NSP roster was" the answer - "Tiberious King".

Cody Deaner entered the arena, ignoring a handshake from his 'friend' Wylde and flatly stated "You didn't stick to the plan. I am supposed to get my title shot, not this four way fight we have in the main event tonight. If you do not stick to the plan again, I will personally make sure you do not leave with that belt tonight."

NSP Owner and "Lord of the Bling" Tiberious King, along with Pepper Parks, came down to the ring to get their opinions in on the main event as well. King explained to Neo's two biggest villains that he and Parks could not wait to get their hands on them for their sweet revenge, and after they were eliminated from the match, King and Parks would then be one-on-one and find out who the better man was to become champion.

Match 4 - Ladies Action - Cherry Bomb vs. Courtney Rush

Hell hath no wrath...

Both ladies decided to use the submission playbook during their match, exchanging armbars, arm wringers, and Indian Deathlocks alike. Cherry Bomb locked on a sweet Bryan Danielson-like "cattle mutilation" submission, putting Rush in extreme agony, but Rush refused to quit. Both fighters stretched each other every which way, but neither gave up. It all ended when Cherry got her feet up on the second rope to keep Rush down.

Match 5 – Crazzy Steve vs. Sebastian Suave

Before the match, Steve had some fun at referee DC Morningstar’s expense. When Morningstar checked over Steve for foreign objects, he found a foot long nail, a dumbbell, and a pair of stinky underwear all hidden in Steve’s tights. Steve didn’t think there was a problem with these, but I digress.
The match quickly was brought to the outside, where Steve smashed Suave into the ring apron and suplexed him on the floor. When asked if he was OK by the referee, Suave answered with “No you idiot I just got slammed on the floor!” Steve perched on the apron ready to leap onto Suave, but Suave recovered and sweeped Steve’s leg sending him crashing into the floor below. Suave brought the action back into the ring, bodyslamming Steve and following up with repeated elbows to the back. Suave whipped Steve into the ropes and attempted a slam, but Steve reversed into a submission. Suave escaped and attempted to climb to the top rope, but Steve cut him off and Suave fell groin-first into the top turnbuckle. Jake O’Reilly of the Pissbeaters entered the arena and distracted Steve, allowing Suave to punch Steve’s lights out with brass knuckles while the referee’s back was turned.

Match 6 – Brent B vs. Nick Vickers – NSP Light Heavyweight tournament.

This match began with both fan-favorites exchanging a multitude of holds for a few minutes, with both men coming out as a draw. A handshake was extended, but Brent B put Vickers in a headlock before it was completed. Vickers fired up and escaped…right into a giant dropkick (see photo – AWESOME!). Even though Brent nearly kicked off Vickers’ head, Vickers came out with the victory and shook Brent’s hand after the match. Brent looked very frustrated now being 0-2 in NSP.

Match 7 – The Italianos defend the tag-team championship against the Pissbeaters

Jake O’Reilly and Anthony Darko wanted the NSP tag belts more than any other belt in Ontario, and they vowed they would have them by the end of the night.

O’Reilly distracted the referee while Darko hid at the side of the entrance curtain and waited for The Italianos to make their entrance into the NSP Arena. “Stickball” Tony Carbonie entered, followed by Primo Scordino. Darko spun Primo around and cold-cocked him with one of the NSP tag belts (they stolen them after the last show).
Stickball whirled around and began the beatdown on Darko, who was saved by O’Reilly. They double-teamed the big man and brought him into the ring and began to work on his leg. The referee was able to separate the two teams but the damage had been done as Stickball was brought backstage for medical attention. The Pissbeaters then focused in on Primo who was still spoiling for a fight. O’Reilly stretched Italy’s favorite son in a sharpshooter (while yelling “Bret Hart is a homosexual!” as well). The Pissbeaters then gave Primo their signature double piledriver. They thought they had the win and the belts in hand, until Crazzy Steve returned.
Steve tried to substitute himself into Stickball’s place, but the referee would have none of it, saying how he was not legally signed to participate in the match. Steve returned backstage screaming and yelling. This gave Primo a slight reprieve, as he fought back and slammed Darko. He then tossed O’Reilly off the top turnbuckle right on to Darko. Primo then climbed the ropes himself, but was cut off by Darko who hit a springboard bulldog. Crazzy Steve returned again, but this time with a bandaged up Stickball in tow.
Primo finally tagged in the power man, who delivered a stiff Carbonie slam on Darko. O’Reilly again climbed up the ropes, but Stickball picked up Darko on his shoulders and ran him into O’Reilly, causing him to land on top of Darko, on top of Stickball’s shoulders (see photo- AWESOME)
Carbonie then delivered a double TKO to both men. Carbonie climbed the ropes to hit a moonsault, but Darko recovered and gave Carbonie a super-German suplex from the top rope. (OH MY GAWWDDD).
Darko knocked Primo off the apron while O’Reilly put a STF submission on Carbonie, who after a few agonizing minutes, passed out from the pain and injury to his leg. The Pissbeaters are the new NSP tag-team champions.

Match 8 – Main Event – Derek Wylde (c) vs. Cody Deaner vs. Tiberious King vs. Pepper Parks – Four Corners elimination match for the NSP Independent Championship.

The match began with King and Deaner in the ring. King asks Cody to tag in Wylde, who admits “I’m not afraid of him!” and tags himself in. Wylde and King circle and just as they are about to lock up, Wylde tags in Pepper Parks. Somewhat reluctantly Parks and King wrestle each other, but come to a stalemate.
They both then tag in Wylde and Deaner respectively, who also wrestle each other with some hesitation. All four men exchange holds but the action quickly breaks down when Cherry Bomb gets involved in the match. She chokes Parks on the middle rope, and climbs into the ring to help Deaner and Wylde eliminate Parks. She is knocked over and Deaner lands on top of her, and then Wylde lands on top of Deaner (3 way of doom – see photo).
King repeatedly kicks Wylde into Deaner’s ass, which causes Deaner to hump Cherry as she screams in horror “STOP HUMPING ME!” Deaner screams out how sorry he is, which causes Wylde to ask Deaner what the hell he was doing with Wylde’s woman. Cherry doesn’t help by screaming “He was humping me!” and then slaps both men. She exits the ring as the match continues, and ends up with King powerbombing Wylde off the top rope. King then brings Wylde to the top rope again for a superplex, when Parks joins in to help. Deaner runs under both men and powerbombs them as Wylde holds onto the top rope for dear life so he is not thrown off. (Mini tower of doom? See photo).
Deaner pins Parks, but Parks gets his foot onto the bottom rope. Deaner looks at the foot, and notices timekeeper Leah Von Dutch at ringside. He thinks she placed Parks’ foot on the rope and chases her around ringside. She runs into the ring with Deaner hot on her feet as Parks catches Deaner, knocking him down. Parks checks on Von Dutch making sure he is OK. He turns his attention back to Deaner, only for Von Dutch to low-blow him in the groin!
Deaner hits his Sliced Bread No.2 on Parks and pins him, eliminating him from the match. Deaner celebrates with Von Dutch, having outsmarted everyone. Deaner and Wylde turn their attention to King and attempt a double suplex from the ring apron to inside the ring, only for Wylde to quickly let go and roll Deaner up with a schoolboy pin. Deaner is furious as Wylde mimes a “outsmarted you” motion. King recovers and attempts to hit his signature moves, but Wylde evades. Wylde grabs the title belt and nails King with it, and then hits a Death Valley Driver on the belt to eliminate King, winning the match and remaining NSP champion.
