Courtesy of the NWA Wisconsin Message Board. Standing room only, indeed. It was a very nice house at Liquor Sweets in Milwaukee. Up by me in the balcony, we had to re-arrange tables and chairs (sorry, no ladders) to make room for all the kids that wanted a night of ICW action...and they got it in spades. Michael Dakota (accompanied by NWA Midwest's own Ed Chuman) hits the ring, and we're underway for Insane Championship Wrestling's 4/20 Classic! (Or, "Night Of A Thousand Belts." All kinds of gold displayed tonight...makes you realize the scope of influence of an NWA promotion.) Sure was a little hazy, though. MATCH 1: "Mr. Canada" JASON RILEY vs. BLAZING BENJAMIN * Riley had himself a nice Toronto Maple Leafs jersey...and that motherCanuckin' maple leaf flag. * Benjamin wins by setting up Riley for a Death Valley Driver, but spinning it into a neckbreaker and pinning Riley. * Then, Corporal Robinson (with 3 belts: Juggalo Championsh*t Wrestling heavyweight, NWA Midwest tag, and another one I don't know) hits the ring to congratulate Benjamin and call out his tag team partner (and fellow NWA Midwest tag champ) Hardcore Craig. Each wants to know where the other's been; Chuman takes the opportunity of having 'em both in the same building to book a title defense against a debuting tag team: Venom and Krush (formerly SkullCrusher), The SkullCrushers. MATCH 2: THE SKULLCRUSHERS vs. CORPORAL ROBINSON & HARDCORE CRAIG (c) (NWA Midwest Tag Team Championship) * Hardcore Craig turned on his partner and hit him with an NWA Midwest tag title belt, and Venom gets the pin. * NEW NWA Midwest Tag Team champions: The SkullCrushers. MATCH 3: TROY WALTERS vs. "The Impact Bully" BRANDON THOMACELLI (sp?) (C) (Elite Pro Television Championship) * The Elite Pro TV title looks a lot like the old NWA TV title belt...good to see. * This match featured the first kickout of this year's 4/20 classic, weirdly enough. * Thomacelli wins with a PAIR of powerbombs into inverse backbreakers. Impressive. MATCH 4: "Pink Cadillac" NICK COLLUCI vs. CORPORAL ROBINSON (w/ 2 Tuff Tony & Cousin Cletus) (Loser must dress like the other next show) * Understandably upset at what happened with his now-ex-partner earlier on, Robinson brought out Cletus and Tony to watch both entrances. * Robinson absolutely PUNISHED Colluci on the outside for several minutes before the bell even rang to start the contest. * Robinson wins with a sleeper-type hold into a leg sweep. Now Colluci must dress like a juggalo at ICW's May event. MATCH 5: JAYSON CA$H (w/ Val Malone) vs. THOMAS WALTON III (w/ Derek St. Holmes, Esq.) * Seeing TW3 come out to Wayne Newton's "Danke Schoen" (from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" for you newbies) was very amusing...but not as much as his "golfer" schtick. Sweater vest, plaid-print chinos, and teeing off in the center of the ring, then admiring his drive and holstering his club a'la the Chicago White Sox heel hitter from Major League 2. But I digress... * Some nice outside action, with TW3 whipping out a top-rope cross-body onto Ca$h on the outside. * Derek St. Holmes proves his intellect yet again. He chases Malone acting like he's gonna slap her; she runs up onto the apron for safety. Ca$h wants to know why she's up there; while the ref gets her down, Holmes slides TW3 the TOME OF KNOWLEDGE....OF DOOM. TW3 clocks Ca$h with the book for the pin. * After the match, an irate Ca$h fires Malone, grabs a nearby ICW staffer, and delivers 2 double-handed sitout chokeslams. Uncalled for! MATCH 6: THE McCOYS (w/ Val Malone) vs. DYSFUNCTION & BOBBY V. vs. KEEPIN' IT GANGSTA (Elimination Match for ICW Tag Team Championship) * Mickey McCoy, despite not being the legal man, eliminated KIG by pinning TC Washington, aided by a fistful of tights. * Dys and Bobby somehow got Val in the ring, and invited an unknown (to me) friend of theirs. Both McCoys and Val were all put in identical figure-4s; and submitted. * NEW ICW TAG TEAM CHAMPS: Dysfunction & Bobby V. MATCH 7: "Tattooed" MARK PRIEBE vs. JASON HADES vs. "Psycho Shooter" DRAKE YOUNGER vs. KRUSH vs. CHRIS HERO (5-way elimination match) * Hades had some sort of IWA championshp; I couldn't identify the belt Drake Younger wore. * Hades eliminated Priebe with a running back bodydrop (the Vaporizer?) * Krush eliminated Hades with a spinning variant of a DVD. * Younger eliminated Krush...but I forget how. * Down to Hero vs. Younger...Hero gets him with a spinning arm into an inside cradle for the pin; they hugged afterwards. Younger grabbed the mic to tell the crowd what a good guy Hero is, and to buy his merch...and that took us to intermission. MATCH 8: MACE MORGAN & THE JACKAL vs. "K-Train" KODY RICE & "The Featherweight of the Future" JASON DUKES * The Jackal brought his ICW Cruiserweight title; Dukes trumped that with his NWA Midwest X-Division belt. * Kody spinebustered Mace, followed up by a top-rope moonsault by Dukes for the pin. MATCH 9: SILAS YOUNG vs. EGO FANTASTICO (Special guest referee: AUSTIN ARIES) * Pre-match, Silas grabbed the mic and cut on Aries for being here as a ref, and on the music guy...c'mon, now! * VERY energetic match...Ego wins with what I'll call a muscle-buster. (If I'm wrong, lemme know!) MATCH 10: THE NINJA VS. RYAN ROGUE (w/ Gina Mattalata?) (sp?) * The Liquor Sweets crowd went GAGA for Ryan Rogue. * The Ninja went for a top-rope move, but Gina shoved him down to the canvas. Ninja grabbed her and put her on the apron, and she slapped him good. Rogue used the opening to hit a sitout powerslam and win. MATCH 11: MASON QUINN VS. "Simply Amazing" JUSTIN DREDD (ICW Midwest & Heavyweight Championships) * Best 2-outta-3 falls: 1st fall is First Blood, 2nd fall is submission, 3rd (if necessary) fall is KO. * Dredd brought both belts, but Quinn didn't have his NWA Wisconsin heavyweight title belt with him. * 1st fall: Quinn jumping DDT's Dredd onto a steel chair; Dredd busted open. * 2nd fall: After a lot of energetic attacks, Dredd catches Quinn with a crossface; Quinn taps. * 3rd fall: Dredd went for a top-rope springboard move, but Quinn intercepted him with a vicious clothesline. Both men struggling, but Dredd failed to answer the 10-count. * NEW ICW MIDWEST AND HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP: Mason Quinn. * Post-match, Quinn grabbed the mic and said how much getting back the ICW title meant to him...but that the Midwest belt was nothing, and THREW IT DOWN. I can only assume the ICW Midwest championship is now vacant. MATCH 12 (MAIN EVENT): HARDCORE CRAIG vs. 2 TUFF TONY (w/ Cousin Cletus) (Special Enforcer: ADRIAN SERRANO!) * Serrano was a nice surprise for the main event. He came out to his old "shoot World order" music. How ya like that?) * This fight went outside the ring quickly, with one moment where a dazed Craig was seated up against the wall, and Tony threw his body at him like a battering ram! * Craig responded by DVD'ing Tony through a pair of steel chairs. * At least 3 chairs and somebody's belt were used in this match; both men were bloody messes halfway through. * It looked like Tony had the match won with another muscle-buster when "Pink Cadillac" NICK COLLUCI ran in to attack. Serrano grabbed Colluci's arm and twisted the hell out of it, culminating in a top-rope armdrag/legdrop combo! Incredible move from the NWA and MMA legend! * Tony brought out THUMBTACKS, and top-rope superplexed Craig into the silvery pile of doom. * Both men ended up in the tacks numerous times. * At one point, Craig and the referee got into it. The ref got uranage'd into the tacks and hit with a chair...at which point Serrano took over as referee. * Cousin Cletus poured high-proof booze onto Tony's right hand...and he lit it! FIRE PUNCH! That did Craig in. * After the match, Colluci, The Ninja, and Jason Riley attacked Tony...only to be driven off by Corporal Robinson and "The Weedman!" The Ninja paid heavily for the sneak attack, ending up in the thumbtacks at least twice. * Tony, who hadn't been to Milwaukee in 6 years, closed the show by thanking the ICW fans for coming, and everybody drank. 3 title changes and a long list of action in an intimate venue that saw several brawls spill right out into the crowd? Now THAT'S entertainment. Helluva show by Insane Championship Wrestling. That's all for now...see you at ACW, ICW and NWA Wisconsin events all year long, true believers!
