Hey guys. I'm a regular poster on the TNM board and I would also like to be a regular poster/reader here. I'm going to start posting my circuit here, but I won't flood the thread with my previous cards. If interested, check out the first 3 months of my circuit here: LPW on TNM7.COM Forums: www.tnm7.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.cgi?board=tnmcircs;action=display;num=1272470868Here are the circuit notes following my last event. This will get those who are interested caught up with my current angles without going back and reading previous cards. LPW Week 13: Circuit Information: Tonight, we saw just how desperate Karl Anderson is to keep his LPW Championship as he got himself disqualified for using a steel chair. The chair shot was so vicious that Homicide was in no condition for comments after the show. Meanwhile, Karl Anderson has claimed Homicide never even deserved a shot at his Championship and that he did LPW a favor by preventing a degenerate like Homicide from representing the company as Champion. Sharmell shocked everyone tonight with her appearance and her decision to join The House of Truth against her very own husband Booker T. Sharmell has said that ever since coming to LPW, Booker T has ignored her and embarrassed her. With The House of Truth she feels accepted. She has said this is the nail in the coffin and that Booker T needs to move on. She is now in charge of The House of Truth's contracts and she refuses to sign off on any challenge Booker makes to The House of Truth. Instead, The House of Truth will lock up next week with the hardcore icons, New Jack & The Sandman! The team of Delirious & Petey Williams are invoking their rematch clause next week and will challenge for the LPW Tag Team Championship. Aries & Regal admit they're surprised that Petey & Delirious would ever want to get in the ring with them again, but they will be more than happy to hand them another defeat. Cactus Jack is fed up with The Natural Connection. He has challenged Lance Cade to a Barbed Wire Baseball Bat Match next week! Lance Cade defeated Sabu in a Towel Match last week and next week he says he will prove that Cactus Jack is just as washed up as Sabu is. |

LPW Week 14
Knock-down, Drag-out
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
The team of Chuck Palumbo & Booker T came to the ring for the opening tag match. It was obvious that Booker was not himself and still feeling the effects of the betrayal of his wife. Palumbo got on the microphone and said some encouraging words and also urged the fans to support Booker, which they did with a "Booker T" chant. This got Booker all fired up and he was ready for action!
Afa Jr. and Danny Doring defeated Chuck Palumbo and Booker T when Doring pinned C. Palumbo after a flying bodypress in 0:14:16.
Rating: ** 1/2
Afa Jr. & Doring isolated Palumbo for most of the match until he made the hot tag to Booker. Booker came in and cleaned house. He nailed Doring with the Axe Kick and followed it up with the Spin-a-roonie. Except when he finished, he looked at his hand for a long time. He dropped his arms to the side and looked out to the crowd. Then he walked over and tagged in his partner and walked out on the match. Palumbo, who was already exhausted, was easy pickings for Doring & Afa Jr. after that. Booker's head is obviously not in the game in anymore.
Christian York and Ted DiBiase battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: ** 1/4
An exceptionally competitive match that went the distance. The crowd was solidly behind Christian York who really shined in this one. Perhaps these two will fight another day and maybe then we will get a true winner.
Abyss pinned Giant Bernard with the Black Hole Slam in 0:05:40.
Rating: ** 1/2
A surprise to everyone in attendance when GIANT BERNARD showed up to face "The Monster" Abyss! If anyone in wrestling can match size, strength, and utter brutality with Abyss it's Giant Bernard! But in tonight's battle of giants, Abyss puts Bernard away with an earth-shaking Black Hole Slam!
Rene Dupree defeated Sabu by countout in 0:05:40.
Rating: *** 1/2
[Bill Alfonso interfered against Rene Dupree.]
Not a long match, but an exciting match! The end came when Dupree retreated outside of the ring for a breather. Alfonso slid a chair in to Sabu who promptly set it up and used it as a springboard to dive onto Dupree. However, Dupree side stepped Sabu and Sabu crashed hard on the floor. Dupree then locked on his Bonne Nuit submission laying Sabu out on the floor and winning by countout.
The House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able) defeated New Jack and The Sandman when C. Able defeated New Jack via pinfall in 0:10:18.
Rating: ** 1/2
[Sharmell interfered against New Jack.]
The House of Truth and their new manager, Sharmell, were accompanied by a pack of bodyguards. Sharmell ordered the security to make sure that Booker T gets no where near her or her team. House of Truth pick up the win by pinning New Jack. After the match Sharmell got on the microphone.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
Sharmell cut a promo on Booker T running him down and telling everyone that not only has he disappointed her in the ring, but he has disappointed her as a husband. This brought Booker out but he was blocked from the ring by Sharmell's bodyguards. Chuck Palumbo also came out to restrain his friend. Sharmell goes on to say that LPW isn't big enough for the both of them and that one day, sooner than later, she will drive Booker T out of LPW and out of her life for good.
[Non-Title Match]
Rocky Romero and Karl Anderson battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: *** 1/4
The second time limit draw of the night. Romero showed tonight that he should not be looked over as a top competitor in LPW. After the match, Romero extended his hand in a sign of respect. To everyone's surprise, Anderson responded by shaking his hand! Then Anderson's true colors shined through as he pulled Romero in and gave him a brutal Spinebuster! Anderson then grabbed a chair from ringside and was getting ready to smash in Romero's skull until HOMICIDE ran from the locker room area to make the save!
Post Match Promo > In Ring
Karl Anderson dropped the chair and slid out of the ring before Homicide could get to him. Homicide got on the microphone and called Anderson a coward. He reminded everyone that Anderson wouldn't be LPW Champion if he didn't take the cowardly way out by using a steel chair to get himself DQ'd last week. He went on to say that he deserves at least one more chance. He then challenged Anderson to a LADDER MATCH and added that if he can't beat him he would never challenge Anderson for the Championship again. Anderson thought it over before accepting!
[Barbed Wire Bat No-DQ-Match]
Cactus Jack pinned Lance Cade with the Double Arm DDT in 0:12:02.
Rating: ** 3/4
This match was a blood bath! Cade came to the ring in jeans and a sweatshirt, but the barbed wire bat easily shredded through Cade's shirt. The end of the match came from a Double Arm DDT onto the barbed wire bat! The bloodied Cactus Jack gave the fans a "Bang! Bang!" and big smile while the referee raised his hand in victory.
Your Main Event:
[LPW Tag Team Championship Match]
Delirious and Petey Williams defeated William Regal and Austin Aries when Delirious pinned Aries after a sunset flip in 0:02:24.
Rating: **
(Delirious and Petey Williams won the LPW Tag Team Championship.)
HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS... AND NEW LPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!! PETEY WILLIAMS & DELIRIOUS!!
Unbelievable! It only took 2 and a half minutes for Petey Williams & Delirious to win back the LPW Tag Team Championship! Austin Aries was livid with the referee! William Regal was livid with the referee AND Austin Aries!! As Aries continued to argue with the referee, Regal decided he wanted to continue the fight. Instead, Petey Williams kicked him in the gut and flipped him on his head with the Canadian Destroyer! When Aries turned around to see his partner laid out on the floor, Petey kicked him in the gut and Delirious flew off the ropes with Shadows Over Hell! The new Champions celebrated with Daizee Haze and the fans!
Overall: ** 3/4
Match of the Night: Rene Dupree vs. Sabu
Circuit Information:
Petey Williams & Delirious become 2-time LPW Tag Team Champions with a quick victory over William Regal & Austin Aries! In a post-match interview, Aries & Regal blamed everything from the ref counting fast to a fan in the front row with a laser pointer as reasons for them losing tonight. What does the future hold for this duo?
Homicide has issued the challenge and Karl Anderson has accepted! Next week, Anderson defends the LPW Championship against Homicide in a LADDER MATCH!! There will be No-Disqualifications! Everything is legal, including steel chairs! The only way to win is to climb the ladder and retrieve the LPW Championship hanging high above the ring!
The match between Lance Cade and Cactus Jack was easily the most barbaric we've seen in LPW. Cade thought he could prove his dominance over Jack in a match that was custom made for Cactus Jack but it didn't work out. In fact, Cade had to be hospitalized following the match. Aside from requiring several stitches, Cade may need further medical assistance this week.
It's clear now that Sharmell has bad intentions towards her husband, Booker T, and she wants his world to come crashing down. So far it seems that Booker T can do nothing about it either. She has surrounded herself with a tag team that has been nothing but impressive since arriving in LPW and a handful of bodyguards to boot. Sharmell has issued a challenge on behalf of her tag team for Chuck Palumbo. Next week, Palumbo will try to gain some revenge for his partner in a Handicap Match against The House of Truth.
Giant Bernard made a surprise appearance tonight facing Abyss. As far as we know there are no on-going negotiations between Bernard and LPW, but LPW has stated they could possibly be interested in signing him to a contract if the interest is mutual.
Matches announced for next week:
** LPW Championship Ladder Match: Karl Anderson (c) vs. Homicide
** Handicap Match: The House of Truth vs. Chuck Palumbo
** Danny Doring & Afa Jr. vs. The Sandman & New Jack

- Glad to see you over here. I asked Rey619 if he cared where I responded to his TNAW so I'll ask you too. Do you prefer my responses here or over on the TNM boards? It really doesn't matter to me.
- Sheesh, Booker better watch it or he's going to piss off Palumbo. I like the part in the middle where he stared at his hand a long time. Little touches like that really help me get into the angles.
- Good showing for York. I've kind of cooled on DiBiase and became more of a Cade fan from the Natural Connection.
- Giant Bernard is definitely a decent pick up for your circuit. He should fit in nicely. Hopefully he comes back strong after his loss to Abyss.
- Poor Sabu. He doesn't seem to have much luck.
- Sharmell is quickly becoming my favorite person to hate in this circuit.
- Good stuff with Anderson-Homicide and you built up Romero as well. I guess he might be waiting in the wings for whoever wins the ladder match. I'll be cheering for Anderson just because I think you've made him into a really good heel, and I'd hate for him to lose the strap yet.
- Glad to see Cactus get the win here.
- Wow, didn't expect the tag title change. Hopefully they get their rematch soon.
- Hopefully you get Bernard signed to a long-term contract.
- Let's see: Anderson over Homicide, Houst of Truth over Palumbo (this is not going to end well for Chuck), and Doring and Afa over Sandman and New Jack.
- Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing how things continue and how you finish off the whole Homicide-Anderson angle.

LPW Week 15
Mixing Business With Battle
Pre Show Promo > In Ring
To the surprise of the fans in attendance this week's show began with a new face... a new and very ugly face. SNITSKY came to the ring dressed to wrestle and laid out an open challenge. And of course, it was accepted!
Abyss pinned Snitsky with the Black Hole Slam in 0:10:34.
Rating: 3/4*
Abyss answered the call and to Snitsky's credit he didn't back down. In fact, Snitsky had control most of the match but like so many in the past, he just couldn't keep Abyss down for a pin. And just like most of the others before him, Snitsky fell victim to the Black Hole Slam.
Austin Aries and William Regal defeated Christian York and Rocky Romero when W. Regal defeated R. Romero by disqualification in 0:18:53.
Rating: ** 3/4
The former Tag Team Champions were looking to take their frustrations out on the duo of York & Romero but it wasn't as easy as they had hoped. The match was coming down to the closing minutes within the time limit when Regal got desperate. He reached into his trunks for his trusty brass knuckles and tried to deck Romero behind the referee's back. Romero ducked and booted Regal forcing him to drop the knuckles. Romero picked them up, put them on, and knocked Regal out cold. Unfortunately the referee saw this and DQ'd Romero & York.
Ted DiBiase defeated Brian Kendrick when Brian Kendrick passed out in a cobra clutch in 0:03:58.
Rating: ** 3/4
Dibiase clearly did his homework. A few weeks ago Kendrick lost a couple of matches to Rene Dupree via Dupree's Bonne Nuit, a version of the cobra clutch. Obviously this is Kendrick's cryptonite and once Dibiase locked in his version of the cobra clutch it was lights out for Kendrick.
Rene Dupree defeated Petey Williams by countout in 0:07:35.
Rating: ***
We saw a vicious side of Dupree come out when he was at war with Brian Kendrick and that rage is keeping him in the top ranks in LPW. Tonight, Dupree stayed aggressive in his match against Petey Williams and forcing the fight to the floor. There Dupree caught Petey with a DDT on the concrete and Petey couldn't make it back in the ring before getting counted out.
Afa Jr. and Giant Bernard defeated New Jack and The Sandman when Bernard pinned New Jack with the Bernard Driver in 0:14:27.
Rating: * 1/2
(Danny Doring no-showed.)
Giant Bernard replaced Danny Doring who was suspiciously absent from tonight's event. The Hardcore Icons hung in there with the two strong men but just couldn't secure a win. Bernard puts New Jack away his finisher.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
As Giant Bernard & Afa Jr. headed back to the locker room area, The Sandman got on the microphone and called Afa Jr. back to the ring saying they have some unfinished business to take care of. Never one to back down from a fight Afa Jr. headed back to the ring. The Sandman picked up his Singapore Cane and prepared for battle. But first he had some other things to say. He reminded everyone about the wars he and New Jack have had against the team of Afa Jr. & Danny Doring and how Afa has kicked their asses night after night. He then adds, "if you can't beat 'em, join em." THE SANDMAN TURNS AND BEGINS CANING NEW JACK who lay prone in the ring still hurt from the Bernard Driver!! Afa Jr. slides in and joins The Sandman in beating on New Jack! Sabu & Cactus Jack hit the ring and with some punches and clotheslines they send Afa Jr. & The Sandman out of the ring, saving New Jack from permanent injury.
[Handicap-Match]
Chuck Palumbo defeated The House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able) when C. Palumbo made C. Able submit to an inverted Boston crab in 0:29:07.
Rating: **** 3/4
Wow! Who would have thought a Handicap Match could be this good! The heat The House of Truth & Sharmell are generating is off the charts! Palumbo had every intention of getting revenge for his partner Booker T. He was not going down without a fight. But it was 2-on-1 and not many men can be successful when the numbers are against him. In the end, The House of Truth was just toying with Palumbo, trying to humiliate him when Booker T had seen enough and attempted to rush the ring. Sharmell's bodyguards prevented him from getting in though. The House of Truth taunted Booker but had their backs to Palumbo. Palumbo nailed Raymond from behind sending him to the floor. He then knocked down Able and locked in an inverted Boston Crab forcing Able to submit!!
Your Main Event
[Ladder Match for the LPW Championship]
Karl Anderson defeated Homicide in 0:13:39.
Rating: ***
(Karl Anderson retained the LPW Championship.)
[Giant Bernard interfered against Homicide.]
HERE IS YOUR WINNER... AND STILL LPW CHAMPION... KARL ANDERSON!!
The first Ladder Match in LPW history was not a disappointment! Anderson and Homicide put their bodies on the line and it just goes to show you how important this Championship really is to both men. The one thing no one could have predicted was Giant Bernard making an appearance and helping the LPW Champion! At one point Bernard prevented Homicide from getting the belt by climbing up the ladder behind Homicide and powerbombing him to the canvas! This gave Anderson the time he needed to climb the ladder and retrieve the belt.
Overall: ***
Match of the Night: Chuck Palumbo vs. The House of Truth
Circuit Information:
This was an incredible night of action for LPW capped off with the companies first ever Ladder Match! Karl Anderson continues to show us that he will do whatever it takes to keep the LPW Championship. This time he enlisted the services of Giant Bernard to aid him. Not sure if this was just a one time thing or if Anderson will have Bernard by his side full-time. What we do know is Homicide was furious after he realized what happened.
The House of Truth may have lost the battle tonight but they're still winning the war. It was a small victory for Booker T but he still isn't any closer to getting answers from Sharmell or getting his hands on The House of Truth. In fact, Sharmell has negotiated a contract for next week giving The House of Truth a shot at the LPW Tag Team Championship! Sources say Booker's attitude is changing everyday and he is bound to explode soon.
The alliance among the ECW originals has been broken by The Sandman's sudden turn on former partner and friend, New Jack. We're not sure if this was a plan formulated by Danny Doring or if this was just The Sandman taking matters into his own hands. Either way, a Six-Man Tag Team Match has been signed for next week pitting the trio of New Jack, Sabu, & Cactus Jack taking on Doring, Afa Jr, and The Sandman.
Snitsky is not interested in a long-term agreement with LPW. He has agreed to work next week's show but has other arrangements beyond then.
Austin Aries has given his notice. He has been offered more money to wrestle elsewhere but he intends to honor his remaining bookings.
Matches announced for next week:
** LPW Tag Team Championship Match - Petey Williams & Delirious (c) vs. The House of Truth
** Six-Man Tag Match - Danny Doring, Afa Jr., & The Sandman vs. New Jack, Sabu, & Cactus Jack

Good stuff...I like feeding the big guys to Abyss.
Only thing I didn't really care for was the handicap match. I universally hate handicap matches, ESPECIALLY when the outnumbered guy wins. One of my biggest pet peeves in booking.

Thanks for the feedback.
The handicap match was booked to help put over the Sharmell/Booker feud. As for the outcome, I run unbooked. Had no idea Palumbo would win, and had to think of how to explain it.

LPW Week 16
Truth Be Told
Sabu, New Jack and Cactus Jack defeated Afa Jr., Danny Doring and The Sandman when Cactus Jack pinned Jr. after a flying sunset flip in 0:06:33.
Rating: ** 1/4
This could possibly have been the biggest and wildest brawl we've seen in LPW. In the end, The Sandman and New Jack were fighting in the stands, Doring and Sabu were slugging it out on the floor, and Cactus Jack was wrestling(?!) Afa Jr. in the ring! Cactus put away Afa Jr. with a flying sunset flip! It took some extra effort however to seperate The Sandman and New Jack after the match was over.
Chuck Palumbo pinned Rene Dupree after a side suplex in 0:07:43.
Chuck Palumbo suffered a back injury. He will be out for approximately 3 cards.
Rating: ***
(Super Crazy no-showed.)
Super Crazy was supposed to make his first appearance tonight but his debut will have to be postponed as difficulties in traveling prevented him from getting to the building on time. Palumbo, who initially had the night off as he was still recuperating from his Handicap Match last week, took his place. He was able to defeat Dupree but not without consequences as he injured himself even further and will likely need even more time off. Dupree threw a fit afterwards about having to face someone he wasn't prepared for.
The Natural Connection (Ted DiBiase and Lance Cade) defeated Christian York and Rocky Romero when DiBiase pinned R. Romero after a powerslam in 0:10:12.
Rating: ***
The Natural Connection looked great tonight in their win over York & Romero. You have to believe these two still have the ultimate goal of winning the LPW Tag Team Championship.
Booker T pinned Snitsky with the Axe Kick in 0:02:13.
Rating: * 1/4
Booker T came out and beat the hell out of Snitsky. All Snitsky could do was try to cover up as Booker came at him with a barrage of offense eventually putting him away with the Axe Kick.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
Booker T got on the microphone and called out Sharmell and The House of Truth. Obviously none of them came out. Booker cut a promo saying it's one thing to leave him high and dry but for Sharmell to completely turn against him was low class and selfish. He warned The House of Truth that bodyguards can only protect them so long and that one day he will have his revenge.
Prematch Promo > Interview Area
Giant Bernard is standing by in the brand new backstage area with interviewer Gordon Bailey and was asked about his involvement with Karl Anderson last week. Bernard said Anderson is one of the top wrestlers in the world and everyone is gunning to take his spot. He says Anderson needed some backup and Bernard was more than happy to help. Bailey then went on to show Bernard a pretaped promo from Homicide. In it Homicide claimed Bernard would pay for costing him the LPW Championship and next week he was coming after Bernard. Bernard was fuming about Homicide as he headed to the ring for his upcoming match.
Brian Kendrick pinned Giant Bernard with the Sliced Bread #2 in 0:12:30.
Rating: ***
Kendrick was unfortunate enough to be Bernard's opponent after Bernard heard comments from Homicide. Bernard threw Kendrick all over the ring but didn't have any intentions on pinning him. He just wanted to send a message to Homicide. It all backfired on Bernard when he got caught with Sliced Bread #2 and was defeated by Kendrick! Kendrick headed to the safety of the locker room as Bernard raged at ringside.
Abyss defeated Austin Aries by disqualification in 0:00:56.
Rating: *
[William Regal interfered against Abyss.]
William Regal came to the ring with steel chair in an effort to aid his partner, Austin Aries, in a win over Abyss. Too bad for Regal he was caught red handed by the referee and Aries was immediately DQ'd. Aries looked frustrated with Regal as the two argued on the outside. Abyss reached out and grabbed them both but they retreated to the locker room.
Post Match Promo > Backstage
Aries & Regal continued their argument in the back while cameras picked up what was being said. To Regal's surprise, Aries was leaving LPW after next week's match. Aries said he is going to request a rematch against Abyss and he expects Regal to keep his nose out of it. He says he wants to leave LPW on a high note. Regal had a look on his face as if he had smelled something rotten. Then he smiled and said "okay, Sunshine. Give 'em hell next week."
The House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able) defeated Delirious and Petey Williams when C. Able defeated Delirious by disqualification in 0:13:25.
Rating: ** 3/4
(Delirious and Petey Williams retained the LPW Tag Team Championship.)
[Booker T interfered against Christian Able.]
This was The House of Truth's shot at becoming the LPW Tag Team Champions and it was also Sharmell's chance to be close to gold again. The match was going the way of The House of Truth when there was a commotion near the entranceway. It looked as if someone was trying to get to the ring. With all of Sharmell's bodyguards checking out the entranceway, Booker T hopped over a guardrail at ringside and started attacking The House of Truth. The referee had to throw the match out. Booker T was laying on a beating when the bodyguards rushed the ring. Booker had no choice but to retreat into the crowd and out the front door!
Overall: **1/4
Match of the Night: Chuck Palumbo vs. Rene Dupree / The Natural Connection vs. York & Romero / Brian Kendrick vs. Giant Bernard
Circuit Information:
Booker T hit The House of Truth and Sharmell tonight when it hurt the most... during a Championship Match! In a post show promo Sharmell was irate with Booker but she insisted she will still not give Booker the satisfaction of wrestling The House of Truth. She said Booker is not worth her time and he should just give up.
Homicide warned Giant Bernard that next week he would be after him. It looks like Homicide's words may have gotten to the big man because he lost to Brian Kendrick tonight. Karl Anderson has come to the defense of Giant Bernard and together next week they will face Homicide & Brian Kendrick.
Austin Aries has one more match left under his contract and he wants a rematch with Abyss. Tonight William Regal thought he would be helping out his teammate, but ended up costing him the match. Aries has asked that William Regal not get involved next week as he would like to leave LPW with a great match to remember him by.
Super Crazy's debut has been delayed by a week but we'll try it again next week. So long as there are no more transportation problems Super Crazy and Rene Dupree will go one-on-one.
Also next week, New Jack & Cactus Jack will battle the team of Afa Jr. & The Sandman! Although New Jack's team won tonight he still feels he hasn't given The Sandman the proper receipt for turning on him last week.
Matches announced for next week:
** Karl Anderson & Giant Bernard vs. Homicide & Brian Kendrick
** Non-Title Match - Delirious & Petey Williams vs. The Natural Connection
** Austin Aries vs. Abyss
** Cactus Jack & New Jack vs. Afa Jr. & The Sandman
** Rene Dupree vs. Super Crazy

LPW Week 17
Staying In (or Out)
Afa Jr. and The Sandman defeated New Jack and Cactus Jack when Sandman pinned Cactus Jack after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:22:29.
Rating: ** 1/2
A rivalry that began between New Jack and The Sandman has grown to involve Afa Jr. and Cactus Jack. These are 4 of the hardest-hitting men in LPW and they held nothing back tonight. This match may have gone 22 minutes but the fans were into it the entire time. In the end The Sandman needed his trusty Singapore Cane to secure the win over Cactus Jack!
Rocky Romero defeated Christian Able by disqualification in 0:10:50.
Rating: **
[Sharmell interfered against Rocky Romero.]
A strong showing by both men who usually compete in tag team matches. When it looked like Romero was getting the best of Able and headed for a win, Sharmell got involved by tripping him up as he hit the ropes. Romero wins by disqualification, not the way he would have liked.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
Rene Dupree came to the ring first and waited for his opponent, Super Crazy. Crazy received a great ovation from the crowd. But before the match could begin Dupree got on the microphone and said that because Super Crazy didn't show up last week like he was supposed to, Dupree was forced to wrestle someone he wasn't prepared for. Now, Crazy will have to deal with the same situation. Dupree announced his replacement for tonight... BIG DADDY V!!
Big Daddy V defeated Super Crazy when Super Crazy passed out in a bearhug in 0:15:05.
Rating: **
The size and strength of Big Daddy V were just too much for Crazy to overcome. You can't blame Crazy for putting up one hell of a fight though. He was prepared to wrestle Rene Dupree, not someone like the giant Big Daddy V!
Post Match
Rene Dupree apparently wasn't done with Super Crazy. He got in the ring and locked in his Bonne Nuit submission, ignoring the orders of the referee to break it. When he finally let go he ordered Big Daddy V to crush Crazy with a big splash. Before this could happen SABU hit the ring and started throwing punches at Dupree and BDV. Dupree finally dropped and rolled out of the ring while BDV stood ominously not affected by Sabu's punches. Sabu rolled out of the ring and grabbed a chair. This was enough for BDV to realize it was time to leave the ring and he and Dupree went to the locker room area shouting at Sabu the whole time.
[Non-Title Match]
The Natural Connection (Ted DiBiase and Lance Cade) defeated Delirious and Petey Williams when Cade pinned P. Williams with the Top-Rope Legdrop in 0:16:00.
Rating: ****
The Natural Connection have had their eyes on the Tag Team Championship since the beginning of LPW. Tonight they received a non-title match against the champions and were able to get a victory in an incredible match. Williams & Delirious attempted to show respect to their opponents with a handshake but The Natural Connection refused and warned the Champions that they were going to take their titles.
Christian York defeated Josh Raymond by countout in 0:03:10.
Rating: ***
A good match that was cut short by a countout. The match spilled to the floor where Raymond took control. He whipped York into the guardrail and started to climb back in, but York pulled him off the ring apron and gave him a taste of the guardrail as well. York then beat the count and had his hand raised in victory. Sharmell & Raymond were a little more than aggravated by the loss.
Austin Aries pinned Abyss with the 450 Splash in 0:15:01.
Rating: ** 1/2
This was Aries last match before moving on to other endeavors. This was back and forth and the fans were cheering on both wrestlers. In the end Abyss attempted a superplex but Aries fought him off and hit the 450 Splash for the win. The crowd sent Aries off with a round of applause.
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
Rene Dupree stormed the ring before our next match could began and got on the microphone. He said Sabu had no right getting involved in his business earlier tonight. He demanded Sabu come out and face him. Sabu then hit the ring with officials chasing him and keeping the two wrestlers seperated. Bill Alfonso then came out to speak for Sabu. He said if Rene Dupree wants to make demands then Sabu has a demand of his own. He said that if Dupree wants to beat Sabu so badly then they should have a First Blood Match! The crowd agreed! Dupree's frustration was already boiling over so he accepted the match!
[First Blood Match]
Sabu defeated Rene Dupree in 0:03:55.
Rating: ***
(William Regal no-showed.)
Sabu and Dupree tore into each other in the ring and all around ringside. In the end Dupree was in control on the outside. Alfonso was causing quite the distraction with his whistle and Dupree threatened to shove it down his throat. With Alfonso causing the distraction, Sabu grabbed the ring bell and when Dupree turned around Sabu knocked him out cold with it! It also split Dupree open and ended the match. When Dupree came to and saw his own blood on his hands he was furious! He began throwing chairs around ringside and shouting revenge on Sabu.
Booker T defeated Danny Doring by disqualification in 0:01:31.
Rating: * 3/4
[The House of Truth and Sharmell interfered against Booker T.]
A minute into this match Sharmell walked through the curtain with a microphone calling the attention of Booker T. As Booker focused on her The House of Truth came through the crowd and attacked Booker from behind ending the match immediately!
Post Match > In Ring
The House of Truth continued to stomp, punch, kick, and slam Booker T around the ring while Sharmell insulted him on the microphone. She said this beating is a receipt for him costing The House of Truth the Tag Team Championship last week. As the beating continued she went on to warn him that it would just be best of him to leave LPW for good. Finally a group of babyfaces hit the ring running Sharmell and The House of Truth off.
Giant Bernard and Karl Anderson defeated Brian Kendrick and Homicide when Bernard pinned Homicide after a power bomb in 0:13:15.
Rating: *** 1/2
This match was explosive from beginning to end! Homicide and Kendrick looked really good as they took the fight to the LPW Champion and his new ally, Giant Bernard. The match broke down with all 4 men brawling. Kendrick hit Sliced Bread #2 on Anderson and covered him but the referee insisted they were not the legal men. Bernard then laid out Kendrick with a big boot and caught Homicide as he came off the ropes with a power bomb for the win! Anderson, still unconscious from Kendrick's finishing move had to be removed from the ring by Bernard and carried to the locker room area over his shoulder.
Overall: ** 3/4
Match of the Night: Petey Williams & Delirious vs. The Natural Connection
Circuit Information:
In the main event tonight, Giant Bernard may have scored the fall over Homicide but Brian Kendrick showed that under different circumstances he could have pinned the LPW Champion! He will get the opportunity next week when he faces Karl Anderson in a non-title match. Also, Homicide will get another shot at revenge as he goes one-on-one with Giant Bernard!
Once again Booker T received an incredible beating at the hands of The House of Truth! This time the situation was diffused by a number of wrestlers. It's clear that LPW as a whole has tired of Sharmell & The House of Truth's disgusting actions towards Booker T but when will it end?
Rene Dupree introduced everyone and especially Super Crazy to the behemoth Big Daddy V! He also tried to induce some additional punishment but Sabu put a stop to that which led to Dupree's eventual defeat in an impromptu First Blood Match. Dupree is in a rage now that not only did Sabu get involved in his business but that he's also permanently scarred his face.
Next week The Natural Connection will get the opportunity to become new Tag Team Champions, a goal they've said they would eventually reach since day one. Tonight they defeated the Champions in a non-title match but as Petey Williams & Delirious have shown in the past; when the titles are at stake they get the job done.
Cactus Jack has challenged The Sandman to a one-on-one match next week after taking the fall tonight. However, as cameras interviewed Cactus about his challenge, New Jack interrupted. New Jack told Cactus that he needed to forget about The Sandman. He said what's between him and The Sandman is personal and that Cactus should move on. Cactus appeared taken aback by New Jack's hostility. New Jack then added that it was clear by tonight's loss that The Sandman was too much for Cactus to handle anyway. Cactus was visibly upset at that comment but cooler heads prevailed as the two went their separate ways.
Matches announced for next week:
** LPW Tag Team Championship Match - Petey Williams & Delirious (c) vs. The Natural Connection
** Non-Title Match - Karl Anderson vs. Brian Kendrick
** Giant Bernard vs. Homicide
** The Sandman vs. Cactus Jack

LPW Week 18
Danger in the Manger
Tonight's event opened up with The Sandman taking on Cactus Jack. The bell rang to begin the match and both men squared off. Just before they locked up, New Jack's music hit and the crowd was whipped into a frenzy. The Sandman turned towards the curtain assuming New Jack was headed to the ring. Cactus took the opportunity to bulldog The Sandman and get a quick win.
Cactus Jack pinned The Sandman after a bulldog in 0:00:13.
Rating: *
As the bell rang signaling the end of the match, New Jack stormed the ring with a garbage can full of weapons!
Post Match
New Jack threw the can into the ring, weapons spilling everywhere. Cactus stood back in the corner not knowing what to expect as New Jack picked through the weapons. He then proceeded to hit The Sandman with everything from a crutch to a DVD player to a toaster and even a carton of eggs! New Jack then grabbed the ACOUSTIC GUITAR and waited for The Sandman to get back to his feet. Just as The Sandman pulled himself up by the ropes, Cactus Jack hit his Cactus clothesline sending him and The Sandman to the floor. The fans booed as they were hoping to see New Jack smash the guitar and New Jack was equally disappointed. Cactus slid back into the ring and let out a "Bang! Bang!" which was greeted with a mixed reaction. New Jack looked towards the crowd, then at his guitar, then back at the crowd... and then he SMASHED THE GUITAR over Cactus Jack's head! The crowd roared and began a "New Jack! New Jack!" chant!
Big Daddy V and Rene Dupree and Rocky Romero and Christian York battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: *** 1/4
Dupree showed up for the match with his head still heavily bandaged. Before the match began he cut a promo on Sabu vowing to make him pay for scarring his head last week. As for the tag team match, Big Daddy V & Dupree couldn't put away the seasoned team of Romero & York.
New Jack pinned Danny Doring with the 187 in 0:04:07.
Rating: * 1/2
These two are no strangers to one another but the result was the same as usual. Doring was outmatched against New Jack as New Jack dominated most of the match and put him away handily with the 187.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
New Jack cut a promo on both The Sandman and Cactus Jack saying that he takes care of business himself and that he doesn't need anyone. He went on to say that next week he is challenging The Sandman to a one-on-one match. He also said that if Cactus Jack is still upset with getting his head bashed in with a guitar, they can settle that too. New Jack is not a hard man to find.
[Non-Title Match]
Brian Kendrick defeated Karl Anderson by disqualification in 0:09:10.
Rating: ***
[Giant Bernard interfered against Brian Kendrick.]
Kendrick had Anderson reeling in the last couple minutes of this match and it looked like he was well on his way to defeating the Champion. However, Giant Bernard was at ringside to ensure Anderson would not be pinned. After Kendrick hit Sliced Bread #2 and went for the pin, Bernard pulled the referee out of the ring and shoved him to the ground resulting in a disqualification.
Post Match
Kendrick didn't hesitate for a second as he hit Bernard with a baseball slide through the ropes. Kendrick started clubbing away on Bernard but Bernard cut him off with a knee to the midsection. Bernard rolled Kendrick back into the ring. As Bernard was getting in the ring Homicide ran to the ring as backup for Kendrick. Bernard obviously thought better about going two-against-one. For the second week in a row Bernard carried the unconscious LPW Champion over his shoulder to the locker room area.
William Regal pinned Abyss with the Knee Trembler in 0:19:26.
Rating: *** 1/4
There was a little bad blood from actions a couple weeks ago when Regal hit Abyss in the back with a steel chair in an attempt to help Austin Aries get a win. In this match, Regal attempted to bring not only a steel chair into the mix, but also brass knuckles. Both attempts were thwarted by Abyss. But in the end it was Regal's trusty knees that got him a decisive win over the former LPW Champion.
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
Sharmell and The House of Truth cut a promo on Booker T verbally degrading him not only as a professional wrestler but also as a human being. Finally hearing enough, some babyface wrestlers walked down the aisle only to be stopped by Sharmell's bodyguards. Bill Alfonso became the spokesman for the babyfaces as he said they have heard enough and they should take a good look at themselves in the mirror before saying the things they say about Booker T. Sharmell fired back at Alfonso claiming she can say what she wants and she has the muscle to back her up, pointing to The House of Truth. Alfonso then made a challenge to her and The House of Truth for a match right now!
Sabu and Super Crazy defeated The House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able) when Sabu pinned C. Able with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:18:17.
Rating: ****
[Sharmell interfered against Super Crazy.]
Despite these two teams never facing each other, this match was insanely heated. Bill Alfonso's new team of Sabu & Super Crazy took the fight to The House of Truth letting them know that LPW will no longer just stand by and watch as Sharmell and her team degrade Booker T.
Homicide pinned Giant Bernard after the Ace Crusher in 0:02:45.
Rating: ***
Homicide's Ace Crusher came from no where and the last person to realize what happened was Giant Bernard. In just under 3 minutes, Homicide pinned Bernard's shoulders to the mat. As Homicide walked back to the locker room area celebrating, Bernard paced back and forth angrily in the ring. This is clearly not over.
Your Main Event:
[LPW Tag Team Championship Match]
The Natural Connection (Ted DiBiase and Lance Cade) defeated Delirious and Petey Williams when Cade pinned P. Williams after a swinging neckbreaker in 0:12:09.
Rating: *** 1/4
(The Natural Connection won the LPW Tag Team Championship.)
The Natural Connection has always said that if they got a shot at the LPW Tag Team Championship that they would come out on top. They did just that tonight. Williams made the hot tag and was bouncing Cade all over the ring. He set up for the Canadian Destroyer, but Dibiase broke that up with a clothesline. Delrious, still feeling the effects from the heat he took earlier in the match, charged Dibiase and both went crashing over the ropes and to the floor. Back in the ring, Williams and Cade both worked up to their feet and began to exchange strikes. Williams stunned Cade with a hard forearm and hit the ropes to finish him off. Dibiase reached up from the floor and grabbed Williams foot, tripped him up as he came off the ropes. As Williams staggered towards Cade, Cade hit a swinging neckbreaker and went for the cover. Holding the tights for leverage, Cade was able to keep Williams shoulders on the mat for the three count!
Overall: ***1/4
Match of the Night: Sabu & Super Crazy vs. The House of Truth
Circuit Information:
Tonight LPW crowned new Tag Team Champions, The Natural Connection! With the win they become the 4th team in LPW's short history to hold the titles. However, Petey Williams & Delirious are two-time Tag Team Champions and could very well win the title back next week when they get their rematch.
The feud between Karl Anderson & Giant Bernard and Homicide & Brian Kendrick continues to rage on and things are only heating up. In just two weeks, LPW will host it's first ever WARGAMES!! Two teams consisting of five wrestlers each will slug it out in this two-ring, steel cage match! Karl Anderson and Brian Kendrick have been named team captains and next week they will choose their partners heading into WarGames.
That's not all Anderson and Kendrick will be doing next week. Karl Anderson defends his LPW Championship against Kendrick in a match where both wrestlers get to choose a stipulation!
It's safe to say The House of Truth and Sharmell have done a much better job of making enemies than friends here in LPW but that hasn't stopped them from tormenting Booker T whether he's in the building or not. However, next week Booker T WILL be in the building and he has an important announcement.
Rene Dupree competed tonight with a ridiculous bandage covering his head. This, he claims, is because Sabu cut and scarred him so badly last week. He hasn't made it a secret that he wants to get his hands on Sabu. Therefore, Bill Alfonso has granted him his wish. Next week, Rene Dupree & his new ally, Big Daddy V, will take on Alfonso's team of Sabu & Super Crazy.
New Jack laid down the law tonight not only with his words but also with an acoustic guitar as he smashed it to pieces over the head of Cactus Jack. His challenge to The Sandman will be answered next week, but what about Cactus Jack? We know New Jack will fight anyone anytime and we can assume that Cactus won't just forget about what happened.
Lot's of action planned for next week... and probably lots of unplanned action as well!
Matches announced for next week:
** LPW Championship Match - Karl Anderson (c) vs. Brian Kendrick
** LPW Tag Team Championship Match - The Natural Connection (c) vs. Petey Williams & Delirious
** The Sandman vs. New Jack
** Big Daddy V & Rene Dupree vs. Sabu & Super Crazy

LPW Week 19
Someday Came Suddenly
Promo > In Ring
The Natural Connection stood in the ring with their newly won Tag Team Championship belts around their waists. They put themselves over as the best tag team in wrestling and future legends of the business. As the fans shower them with their disapproval, a young guy who we haven't seen in LPW before enters the ring with microphone in hand. He chimes in by saying The Natural Connection are a great team but as far as the future of wrestling goes, he doesn't see it. He goes on to say that he, JOHNNY GARGANO, "The Whole Sha'bang" is indeed the future of this business. The crowd seems to be taking a liking to Gargano but Dibiase and Cade are furious. Dibiase shouts that Gargano is a nothing more than a disrespectful punk for interrupting the Tag Team Champions and that despite having to defend the titles tonight, he wants to mop the ring with Gargano right now! Cade advises against it, but Dibiase ensures him it will take no time at all to dispose of Gargano.
Johnny Gargano pinned Ted DiBiase with the Uniquely You in 0:10:20.
Rating: *** 1/2
What an unlikely turn of events here as this newcomer by the name of Johnny Gargano upsets one half of the Tag Team Champions! The fans were certainly behind him the entire match. As Gargano leaves the ring with a smile on his face, the Tag Team Champions were left in the ring questioning what just happened.
Christian York pinned Afa Jr. with the Inverted Cross in 0:13:02.
Rating: **
Promo > In Ring
The LPW Champion Karl Anderson and his opponent tonight, Brian Kendrick meet in the ring to announce their partners for next week's WarGames Match. To no one's surprise, Karl Anderson chooses his closest ally Giant Bernard. Kendrick then chooses his closest ally Homicide. Anderson then goes on to choose two more partners... the LPW Tag Team Champions, The Natural Connection. Kendrick then chooses TNC's biggest rivals and opponents tonight, Petey Williams & Delirious. Both have a fifth teammate to announce but those two will be revealed later on in a tag team match when Giant Bernard & the final member of Anderson's team take on Homicide & the final member of Kendrick's team. Finally, they hype tonight's main event and remind everyone that they each get to pick a stipulation before the match begins.
Big Daddy V and Rene Dupree and Sabu and Super Crazy battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: **
Rene Dupree was still wearing a bandage on his head suggesting that there is still some scarring from a couple weeks ago when Sabu busted him open. In the end, neither team could defeat the other and the time limit expired. This, however, didn't save Sabu and Super Crazy from a post-match assault...
Post Match
Big Daddy V trapped Super Crazy in the corner, sitting on him so he could not help his partner. Alfonso didn't prove to be much help either as one punch from Dupree had him seeing stars. Dupree then went to work on Sabu with a flurry of fists. Unsatisfied, Dupree then searched under the ring until he found a toolbox, and a screwdriver. With a sadistic look on his face, Dupree shoved the screwdriver into Sabu's forehead until blood was running down Sabu's face. Then, adding insult to injury, Dupree locked on the Bonne Nuit until Sabu was unconscious.
The Sandman pinned New Jack with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:09:27.
Rating: **
In an all out brawl The Sandman defeated his former partner New Jack. The Sandman wasn't satisfied with just a pinfall victory. He wanted to punish New Jack with his Singapore Cane. As New Jack lay on the canvas, The Sandman took the opportunity to sneak in a few cane shots before CACTUS JACK hit the ring!
Post Match
Cactus Jack hits the ring with a chair and The Sandman scurries to the ringside area. Cactus then looks at New Jack, then looks at the crowd, then back at New Jack before dropping a big elbow with the chair on top of New Jack! The crowd pops as Cactus lets out a "Bang! Bang!"
[LPW Tag Team Championship Match]
The Natural Connection (Ted DiBiase and Lance Cade) defeated Delirious and Petey Williams when Cade defeated P. Williams by countout in 0:02:40.
Rating: * 1/4
(The Natural Connection retained the LPW Tag Team Championship.)
This was a very disappointing loss for the former Champions as it may be the last time they get a rematch for the belts against The Natural Connection. Cade slid in the ring as Dibiase kept Williams busy on the outside forcing a countout. Williams & Delirious will have to wait until next week's WarGames to get their hands on the Champions.
Promo > In Ring
Booker T calls out Sharmell and HoT who come out with their bodyguards. He makes the announcement that he is leaving LPW... but ONLY if the HoT can defeat him in a Handicap Loser-Leaves-Town Match. Sharmell laughs in his face saying their is no way she signing that contract and that Booker T should just cut his losses and leave. Then the bodyguards, wearing full blown SWAT gear pull off their helmets to reveal themselves as Rocky Romero, Christian York, and Super Crazy. The three babyfaces hold back the House of Truth leaving Sharmell without any protection. Booker then recalls the details of the contract inching closer and closer to Sharmell. With no where to run or hide, Sharmell signs the contract. Then the babyfaces get in a few shots on the House of Truth before they are able to escape.
Homicide and Abyss defeated Giant Bernard and William Regal when Abyss pinned Bernard after a splash from the second rope in 0:12:26.
Rating: ** 1/2
William Regal was revealed as the fifth man for Karl Anderson's WarGames team, but Kendrick may have one upped them by getting "The Monster" Abyss as his fifth man. In tonight's tag team match, Abyss showed his dominance with a pinfall win over Bernard. However next week, it's anyone's guess as to who has the advantage going into WarGames.
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
Before the Main Event Championship match began, Kendrick and Anderson got to choose a stipulation. Kendrick was first to choose. He said since Anderson has been known to take the easy way out in the past and get himself DQ'd, he wants the stipulation that the belt can change hands via DQ or countout! Anderson played along and pretended to be angry with Kendrick's choice before putting a smile on his face as he announced his stipulation... a special guest referee! He then introduced TED DIBIASE as the referee.

(Karl Anderson retained the LPW Championship.)
[Rocky Romero interfered against Karl Anderson.]
Even with Kendrick's choice of stipulation, the odds were still stacked against him. That didn't prevent him from fighting his hardest. A bit of a surprise at the end of the match when Rocky Romero came to ringside. Dibiase had no idea what Romero was doing at ringside and ordered him to leave, but Romero refused. In fact, he slid in the ring right past Dibiase and nailed Anderson superkick! Dibiase immediately called for the bell... and then ate a superkick as well! Kendrick stood confused and mad as hell... and then HE TOO ate a superkick!
Post Match Brawl
Karl Anderson's teammates for WarGames rushed the ring in an attempt to get a hold of Romero but Romero dipped out. This left Kendrick alone in the ring with all 5 of his opponents in next week's WarGames. That is until his teammates hit the ring and all hell broke loose! Eventually the babyfaces cleared the ring and the heels headed to the back vowing revenge next week!
Overall: **
Match of the Night: Johnny Gargano vs. Ted Dibiase
Circuit Information:
What in the world was Rocky Romero doing tonight? He got involved in the main event, the LPW Championship Match, between two guys who are heading into the most dangerous match in wrestling next week... and he pissed them both off! Nevertheless, next week is WarGames and judging by all that went down tonight between the teams it's going to be a wild one!
Booker T has finally received his match against the House of Truth and the stipulation is HUGE! It's a Handicap Match but the loser or losers of the match must LEAVE LPW! The contract includes Sharmell's employment as well so if the House of Truth fail to defeat Booker T, Sharmell must leave as well. While Booker T has the odds against him he has vowed to send the House of Truth packing. Meanwhile, Sharmell has said the inevitable is coming and that it's better sooner than later that Booker T is eliminated from LPW.
The Sandman, New Jack, and Cactus Jack are set to settle their differences next week in a Falls Count Anywhere, Anything Goes Match! Based on the backgrounds of these three individuals there is no telling how extreme things could get!
Sabu and Rene Dupree will hopefully settle their differences next week. Dupree still wears the bandage on his head as a reminder of what Sabu did to him in a First Blood Match. Whether or not there is anything underneath the bandage anymore is anyone's guess. Tonight Dupree got some payback by splitting Sabu open and knocking him unconscious with the Bonne Nuit.
Matches announced for next week:
** WarGames Match - Karl Anderson, Giant Bernard, Ted Dibiase, Lance Cade, and William Regal vs. Brian Kendrick, Homicide, Petey Williams, Delirious, and Abyss
** Loser(s)-Leaves-Town Match - Booker T vs. The House of Truth
** Rene Dupree vs. Sabu
** Anything Goes, Falls Count Anywhere Match - The Sandman vs. New Jack vs. Cactus Jack

I apologize in advance for the long write-up here. It was the only way I could really do the WarGames match justice and I also had to try to explain what TNM threw at me last week. So if you actually do read it, thanks!
------------------------------------------------------------------
LPW Week 20
WarGames
This show features a unique setup as there are TWO rings side-by-side. This is to make room for the 5-on-5 WarGames Match that is tonight's main event!
The show kicks off with The Sandman and Cactus Jack squaring off in the ring. Then New Jack's music hits and he rushes the ring with a garbage can full of weapons to begin our opening match!
[Falls Count Anywhere, Anything Goes Triangle Match]
New Jack defeated The Sandman and Cactus Jack:
x New Jack beat Cactus Jack via the 187 in 0:03:00
x New Jack beat Sandman via the 187 in 0:10:06
Rating: ***
Cactus Jack was the first one put away after a barrage of weapon shots from his opponents followed up with New Jack's 187 finisher from the top rope. The the former tag team partners were left alone to beat the hell out of each other. It came down the Sandman's Singapore Cane versus New Jack's acoustic guitar. The guitar was smashed to pieces over Sandman's head and with another 187 from the top rope, New Jack was victorious.
Up next, Christian York will take his chances against the abominable Big Daddy V...
Big Daddy V defeated Christian York by countout in 0:03:19.
Rating: * 1/2
This was a short match that was dominated by BDV. After being squished in the corner by an avalanche, York rolled to the arena floor. BDV would punish him further outside of the ring. After hitting an amazing spinning leg kick, BDV reentered the ring and won by countout.
Afa Jr. makes his way to the ring looking as mean and hungry as ever. Then Super Crazy runs and slides in the ring, nipping up and popping the crowd! His manager, Bill Alfonso, followed close behind; sans in-ring slide and nip up of course.
Super Crazy made Afa Jr. submit to a sleeperhold in 0:08:07.
Rating: * 3/4
The match went back and forth. Crazy delighted the fans with his lucha style and aerial assault. Meanwhile, Afa impressed with his uncanny agility and ruthlessness. Crazy was able to tame the wildman with a sleeperhold to gain the victory.
Post Match > In Ring
After Super Crazy and Alfonso celebrated the win, Crazy helped Afa to his feet. Afa was startled and ready to fight, but Crazy assured him he wanted no trouble. Instead, Crazy extended his hand in a showing of respect. Afa, confused, look towards the crowd for an explanation. They urged him to shake Super Crazy's hand and Afa obliged!
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
Rocky Romero comes to the ring. He is greeted with a mixed reaction. He addresses his actions last week when he superkicked LPW Champion Karl Anderson, challenger Brian Kendrick, and special referee Ted Dibiase. He said he is sick of being overlooked. He reminds everyone of the 20-minute time limit draw he had against Karl Anderson in Week 14. He says he should have been the one challenging Anderson last week. He continues by saying as of last week he's going to start taking matters into his own hands.
LPW Champion Karl Anderson interrupts Romero and addresses him from the entranceway. He says Romero is picking a fight he can't win. He says a guy like Romero isn't worth his time and when Romero EARNS his Championship match then he can come see him. The crowd sort of cheers Anderson's comments while Romero looks on angrily.
"Dastardly" Danny Doring makes his way to the ring to take on the now disgruntled and frustrated Rocky Romero.
Danny Doring defeated Rocky Romero when Rocky Romero passed out in a front facelock in 0:13:00.
Rating: **
It's safe to say that Romero was really taken out of his element following Anderson's words. And that wouldn't be the last earful Romero would receive...
Post Match Promo > In Ring
Following the match, Brian Kendrick makes his way to the ring as Doring leaves. Kendrick shakes Romero to wake him up. Kendrick then gets on the microphone and says he was going to come out here and superkick Romero's teeth in just like Romero did to him last week but losing to Doring was punishment enough. He goes on to say that he actually agrees with Karl Anderson, his opponent in tonight's WarGames, and that Romero hasn't earned the right to start making demands. The fans cheer Kendrick as he walks away. Romero seems stunned by Kendrick's comments.
As Kendrick leaves, Christian York enters the ring. York has been the long time partner of Romero since LPW opened. York asks why Romero didn't come to him for advice. He says he could have kept Romero out of the mess he's in and they could have continued to pursue bigger things in LPW. Instead, York says he feels like he can't trust Romero anymore and that he is done with him. The fans cheer York! Romero can't believe it. He pleads forgiveness as York walks away. The fans begin mocking and laughing at Romero as he walks away ashamed.
Rene Dupree makes his way to the ring to a chorus of boos. He is still sporting a bandage and gauze around his head even though it's been three weeks since his head was split. Accompanied by Bill Alfonso, Sabu hits the ring where he is jumpstarted by Dupree to begin the next match.
Sabu defeated Rene Dupree by disqualification in 0:07:30.
Rating: ** 1/2
Sabu fought back and quickly took the advantage. As the fight spilled to the floor, Sabu sat Dupree on a chair and went back in to the ring. He attempted a dive onto Dupree, but Dupree moved and Sabu went head first into the chair and concrete floor. This left him easy pickings for Dupree. Dupree slid him back in the ring and locked on the Bonne Nuit. Sabu was unresponsive and the referee had no decision but to give Dupree the victory. However, Dupree would not relinquish the hold and after trying to force him off, the referee reversed the decision and awarded Sabu the win by disqualification! This made Dupree furious and he finally let go. Then Super Crazy hit the ring to protect his friend and Dupree made a quick exit.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
To the crowd's surprise, John "Bradshaw" Layfield made his way out. The fans responded with cheers as they recognized him. Those cheers turned to boo's though when JBL got on the microphone. He put over LPW but went on to say that the fans should expect an increase in ticket prices because they don't deserve to watch a wrestling god compete for the cheap prices they're paying for their tickets. He throws out an open challenge to which he was as shocked as anyone when CARLITO answered the call. Carlito said he was in the building tonight to work out a special appearance for next week's show but he would love to shut JBL up tonight.
Carlito pinned John "Bradshaw" Layfield with the Backstabber in 0:16:49.
Rating: * 3/4
This was quite the special attraction match. The match went on a little too long for the fans liking but they were happy when the finish saw Carlito slip out of a JBL powerbomb and hit his Backstabber for the win. In a showing of poor sportsmanship, JBL hit a Clothesline From Hell on Carlito as he celebrated his victory.
The House of Truth are led to the ring by Sharmell. No bodyguards this time. They look mad. Booker T then makes his way to the ring looking determined.
[Handicap, Loser-Leaves-Town Match]
Booker T defeated The House of Truth (Josh Raymond and Christian Able) when Booker pinned J. Raymond with the Axe Kick in 0:12:07.
Rating: *** 3/4
[Chuck Palumbo interfered against Christian Able.]
[Sharmell interfered against Booker T.]
[Chuck Palumbo interfered against Josh Raymond.]
The intensity in this match was off the charts. No matter the punishment Booker took throughout, he fought on. In the end, Booker's long time partner and friend Chuck Palumbo made an appearance! He had been sidelined with an injury and this is the first time we've seen him in weeks. Able saw him coming and went after him, but he was met with a stiff boot and barrage of punches on the floor. Sharmell then hopped up on the ring apron to talk trash to Booker. With Booker's attention on her, Raymond grabbed a chair from ringside. As he slid in to hit Booker, Palumbo slid in right behind him and took the chair from him. He proceeded to hit Raymond in the gut with the chair. Booker then turned around, saw his opportunity and hit the Axe Kick to seal the deal! Sharmell broke down in tears as her and the House of Truth must now leave LPW thanks to the husband she betrayed in the first place.
As we take a brief intermission, the steel cage is set up for our main event... WarGames!
LPW Champion Karl Anderson leads his team of Giant Bernard, William Regal, Lance Cade, and Ted Dibiase down the aisle. They circle the ominous looking cage before settling by one of the doors. Brian Kendrick and his team then come out but Petey Williams is absent. Instead, the newcomer Johnny Gargano is with the team which also includes Homicide, Delirious, and Abyss. Kendrick gets on the microphone and says Petey was unable to make the show tonight. He goes on to say that when Gargano defeated Ted Dibiase last week he proved himself he could be a useful teammate.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... IT IS NOW TIME FOR WAR GAMES!!
Ted Dibiase and Homicide start for their respective teams. Homicide gets some good shots in early but Dibiase slows his momentum with a thumb in the eye. Dibiase continues to punish Homicide while the coin toss takes place.
Team Captains Anderson and Kendrick stand beside an official as he flips the coin. Kendrick's team wins the coin toss and the advantage.
Johnny Gargano is next in. Dibiase waits for him and catches him as he enters. He shoots him in the ropes but Gargano ducks and bounces back with a flying forearm. Gargano bounces Dibiase off the side of the cage. Homicide does the same. Dibiase has been lacerated!
Lance Cade is next in the cage. He levels the playing field with a low blow on Gargano. He then goes to work on Homicide. The Natural Connection are in full control.
Delirious enters the cage next and takes both Cade & Dibiase down with a magnificent flying cross body from ring one to ring two! He continues with a flurry of offense while the crowd urges him on.
Next in is the big man, Giant Bernard. The three babyfaces stop what they're doing and surround him. All at once they start attacking Bernard but he just pushes them all back and lays in some haymakers and big boots. Cade & Dibiase gain their bearings and once again the heels have the advantage. Bernard grinds Homicide's face into the cage until Homicide is bleeding.
Brian Kendrick enters next. He hops on Bernard's back giving Delirious the opportunity to lay in some shots and for the first time Bernard is off his feet. Meanwhile Dibiase is still bleeding profusely and barely able to stand.
William Regal is the next one in throwing jabs and forearms at all the babyfaces. He finally focuses in on young Johnny Gargano dragging his face across the ring ropes and landing some brutal punches to the face. Before long Gargano is wearing the crimson mask.
Last in for the babyfaces is "The Monster" Abyss! He takes down a charging Regal with a clothesline and catches Cade charging with The Black Hole Slam! Then Giant Bernard gets in his face. The two big men size each other up. They have a whole ring to themselves. The exchange shoulder blocks until Bernard tries to sneak a big boot in. Abyss side steps it, hoists up Bernard, and drops him with the torture rack backbreaker!
Karl Anderson enters last for his team and he manages to sneak a steel chair in the ring with him. He nails Abyss in the back only temporarily fazing him. Then Abyss punches the chair back into Anderson's face promptly splitting the LPW Champion open!
Your Main Event...
[War Games Match]
Brian Kendrick, Abyss, Delirious, Homicide and Johnny Gargano defeated The Natural Connection (Ted DiBiase and Lance Cade), Karl Anderson, Giant Bernard and William Regal when Delirious made DiBiase submit to a choke against the ropes in 0:22:42.
Rating: *** 1/4
As the fight raged on Delirious began to hone in on Dibiase. Dibiase had lost a lot of blood and the officials were keeping an eye on him making sure he could continue. Finally, as Delirious used a ring rope to choke out Dibiase, officials ended the match awarding the win to Delirious and his team! Gargano needed to be helped to the back by his team. Dibiase, though, needed immediate medical attention.
Overall: ** 3/4
Match of the Night: Booker T vs. The House of Truth
Circuit Information:
Ted Dibiase was taken away from the arena in an ambulance. When questioned about the seriousness of Dibiase's injuries, Cade couldn't comment. He also said he was unsure about The Natural Connection's future as LPW Tag Team Champions.
As a reward for Delirious winning the match for his team he will now get an opportunity of a life time. Next week he challenges Karl Anderson for the LPW Championship!
Booker T has won his long standing feud against his wife Sharmell and The House of Truth and in the process has forced all three of them out of LPW. The question still remains... can Booker T still focus on his wrestling future after his wife's betrayal?
JBL made his debut with LPW tonight and was his usual arrogant self. He was challenged by Carlito who was actually only in the building to work on a deal for a one-time appearance NEXT week. So next week, JBL has challenged Carlito to a Texas Bullrope Match to which Carlito has accepted.
Rene Dupree is quickly becoming one of the most uncontrollable guys in professional wrestling. Tonight he refused to relinquish his Bonne Nuit cobra clutch from Sabu and was disqualified! Bill Alfonso has asked for a rematch on behalf of Sabu for next week.
Speaking of Bill Alfonso he also signed a contract representing Super Crazy AND Afa Jr. to face William Regal & Giant Bernard in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. We saw tonight some mutual respect shown between Crazy & Afa Jr. but we have no idea if this kind of respect can translate into a functioning tag team. I guess we'll find out.
Rocky Romero has clearly made some people mad and disappointed others. He needs to figure out what to do and fast.
Matches announced for next week:
* LPW Championship Match - Karl Anderson (c) vs. Delirious
* Texas Bullrope Match - John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. Carlito
* Rene Dupree vs. Sabu
* Falls Count Anywhere Match - Afa Jr. & Super Crazy vs. Giant Bernard & William Regal

Overall I was happy with this card. TNM gave me favorable finishes and a decent wrestler when I used the 'm' key. I'm beginning to put more focus on alliances and teams to gain some order. Over 20 cards deep and I'm still excited about the future of this circuit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
LPW Week 21
The Fallout
Tonight's card starts off strong with a good ole' fashioned Texas Bullrope Match!
[Texas Bullrope Match]
Carlito beat John "Bradshaw" Layfield in 0:14:50
Rating: ** 3/4
An exciting opening contest that saw Carlito hit all 4 corners first to get the win. This is the last we'll see of him in LPW, at least for now. As for JBL, he's on board for awhile but he's off to a bad start with back-to-back losses in his first two matches.
Backstage
LPW Champion Karl Anderson is talking with Giant Bernard & William Regal. They are discussing last week's WarGames. They all agree that had they not chosen The Natural Connection as partners they could have won the match. Karl Anderson then gives their 3-man stable a name; Bad Intentions. Anderson says tonight they'll prove their intentions when he retains his Championship against Delirious and Regal & Bernard will wipe the mat with Super Crazy & Afa Jr.
Up next we have a tag team match. Danny Doring makes his way to the ring first. He gets on the microphone and says he has a new tag team partner and together they will finally achieve success in LPW. Out comes The Sandman to a chorus of boos. Their opponents, Homicide & Brian Kendrick hit the ring ready for action.
Homicide and Brian Kendrick defeated Danny Doring and The Sandman when Homicide pinned Sandman after the Ace Crusher in 0:08:10.
Rating: *** 1/4
A strong showing by Homicide & Kendrick as they further solidify their alliance with a win tonight. Doring & The Sandman will need to iron out a few kinks if they intend on continuing their partnership.
Up next, Big Daddy V slowly makes his way to the ring scaring the hell out of any fan that looks at him. Petey Williams comes out next to a good reaction. The size difference in this match is stunning.
Petey Williams defeated Big Daddy V by disqualification in 0:14:48.
Rating: 3/4*
Petey was doing well for himself as he used his quickness to get a few shots on BDV at a time. Unfortunately, BDV cornered him and mauled him like a giant bear. As the referee shouted for BDV to back away and let Petey out of the corner, BDV shoved the referee down earning himself a disqualification. The DQ announcement took BDV's focus off Petey long enough for Petey to escape. BDV still looks hungry, though.
Pre Match Promo
Lance Cade comes out with both Tag Team Championship belts. His partner, Ted Dibiase, requires some time off after WarGames and is unable to be here. Cade announces that due to Dibiase's decision to take time off he was informed that he must vacate the LPW Tag Team Championship. As the fans cheer he reluctantly hands the belts over to an official. He then goes on to say that tonight's match is a Top Contender's Match and the winning team will wrestle for the vacant Tag Team belts next week. He then introduces his NEW tag team partner... TREVOR MURDOCH!
Trevor Murdoch comes out looking mean. Then their opponents come out to a loud ovation; former Tag Team Champions Booker T & Chuck Palumbo!
[Number-One-Contenders-Match]
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch defeated Chuck Palumbo and Booker T when Cade made C. Palumbo submit to a side headlock in 0:06:24.
Rating: **
Cade & Murdoch won tonight's match after Murdoch unlaced his boot and tossed it to Cade who promptly nailed Palumbo with it behind the ref's back. Cade then locked on a side headlock to add insult to injury. The ref checked Palumbo's arm and it fell three times awarding the win and a Top Contender's spot to Cade & Murdoch.
Cactus Jack made his way to the ring for his match, but it was never officially announced who his opponent was. The fans were quite shocked when the music of "The Generic Luchadore" EL GENERICO came on the loudspeakers!
Cactus Jack pinned El Generico with the Double Arm DDT in 0:08:06.
Rating: *** 1/2
A heavy contrast in styles resulted in one hell of a match. The fans were divided, but everyone cheered loudly in appreciation when the match was over. Afterwards, Cactus helped Generico to his feet and welcomed him to LPW.
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
Rocky Romero comes out to a chorus of boos and the fans chant "Crybaby! Crybaby" at him. Romero looks insulted and he begins throwing a tantrum in the ring. He gets on the microphone and says he wants to apologize, again, for the mess he has created. The fans continue to mock him. He then says tonight, his partner Christian York wants to wrestle him. Romero says he doesn't want to fight, he just wants to apologize and move on. Christian York comes out, tells Romero to quit crying, and then attacks him to start the match.
Christian York pinned Rocky Romero with the Inverted Cross in 0:18:41.
Rating: ***
Throughout the match, Romero would get an advantage with a dirty tactic, but then beg for mercy from York when York fired back. In the end, York was able to put away Romero with his finishing move. As Romero walked to the back, the fans mocked him with fake tears and whining.
Up next, 2/3 of Bad Intentions came to the ring; Giant Bernard & William Regal. Then, led by Bill Alfonso, the odd pairing of Super Crazy & Afa Jr. Afa seemed taken aback by the crowd cheering for him.
[Falls-Count-Anywhere Match]
Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard and William Regal) defeated Super Crazy and Afa Jr. when W. Regal pinned Crazy with his special move in 0:04:43.
Rating: ** 3/4
This was an all out brawl with no one gaining a clear advantage. In the end, Crazy took out Bernard with an impressive Asai moonsault on the floor. Meanwhile, in the ring, Regal was reaching into his tights for brass knuckles. As he winded up, Crazy slid in the ring, shoved Afa Jr. out of the way, and took the knuckles on the jaw. Regal pinned Crazy easily. As Regal & Bernard retreated as victors, Afa realized Crazy took a hit for him. He helped Crazy to his feet and it's clear now that Afa Jr. is one of the good guys!
Our semi-main event is about to begin. Rene Dupree comes out first looking as determined as ever. This time, the bandage is gone and he appears to have no scarring. Out next is Sabu as he rushes to the ring to begin the match.
Rene Dupree pinned Sabu after the Michinoku Driver in 0:14:04.
Rating: ****
[Bill Alfonso interfered against Rene Dupree.]
The heat between these two men is off the charts and the fans were on edge the entire time. Sabu nearly gained the win following a legdrop through a table but Dupree refused to be pinned. Sabu escaped the Bonne Nuit on multiple occassions and as Dupree realized he would not be able to submit Sabu this time, he ended the match with a Michinoku Driver. With no action after the match it appears that Dupree has won this feud.
Backstage Interview
Interviewer Gordon Bailey is standing with New Jack to discuss things. New Jack begins talking about his plans to rise to the top as a singles competitor when he is interrupted by John "Bradshaw" Layfield. JBL says he was actually on his way out when he heard New Jack speaking. He then says he can't imagine how anyone can even understand what New Jack is saying. JBL then reminds New Jack that he is a "wrestling god" and that New Jack is no more than a glorified street fighter. He says New Jack couldn't even lace JBL's boots. New Jack takes offense to everything coming out of JBL's mouth and challenges him to a match next week. JBL says it would be his pleasure to make an example out of New Jack.
And now it's time for YOUR MAIN EVENT! The match is one fall, scheduled for 60 minutes, and it is for the LPW Championship! Out first, the challenger, led to the ring by Daizee Haze... this is Delirious! And his opponent, the LPW Champion, Karl "The Machine Gun" Anderson!
Your Main Event
[LPW Championship Match]
Delirious made Karl Anderson submit to the Cobra Stretch in 0:14:50.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Delirious won the LPW Championship.)
Here is your winner and NEW LPW CHAMPION... DELIRIOUS!
Riding the momentum from winning last week's War Games, Delirious was able to defeat Anderson and become the new LPW Champion! Anderson made an attempt to use his equalizer, a steel chair, but Daizee Haze snatched it from him before he could use it. This gave Delirious the opening he needed as he hit a back suplex and followed it up with the Cobra Stretch. Anderson couldn't escape and had to submit.
Overall: *** 1/4
Match of the Night: Karl Anderson vs. Delirious
Circuit Information:
What an exciting and surprising main event we had here tonight! Neither man was at 100% just one week after War Games but they still gave it their all. In the end, Delirious became the NEW LPW Champion!
Lance Cade was forced to vacate the LPW Tag Team titles following Ted Dibiase's decision to take time off. He then brought in an old friend of his, Trevor Murdoch, and they became contenders with their win tonight. Next week, for the LPW Tag Team Championship, they will face the team of Brian Kendrick & Homicide.
Bill Alfonso has requested a week off for his new team, Super Crazy & Afa Jr. The agenda is to get them both on the same page so when they return to action in two weeks they'll be a better team.
Rocky Romero was seen sulking in the hallway after the show. He tried to make conversation with every wrestler or official that walked by but they all ignored him.
Cactus Jack & El Generico seem to have formed a friendship following their match tonight. They have signed on for a tag team match next week and their opponents will be Danny Doring & The Sandman.
Things got a little heated tonight in the interview area between New Jack & JBL and next week they will square off one-on-one.
Matches announced for next week:
* LPW Tag Team Championship Match - Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs. Brian Kendrick & Homicide
* Booker T & Chuck Palumbo vs. Giant Bernard & William Regal
* New Jack vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
* Cactus Jack & El Generico vs. Danny Doring & The Sandman

Back from hiatus so trying to get caught up on all the circuits...looks like I have a few to read here.  LPW Week 18: - Nice win for Cactus Jack. Hopefully this gets him back on the right track. I really liked the post match beatdown and New Jack deciding to hit Cactus with the guitar since Cactus had screwed up his spot. - New Jack sure seems to be getting quite the push. - I'm really liking the team of Anderson and Bernard. - Regal going over is definitely a good thing. He needs more air time! - I'm so glad to see The Natural Connection win the straps. I love those guys together. - War Games!!!! Week 19: - Not familiar with Gargano. I'll have to Wiki him. So far, so good on the character, however. - I'm coming around on the New Jack-Sandman-Cactus feud. It gives them all something to do while the main event scene sorts itself out. - I'm still a fan of the whole "faces dress up as SWAT Team" or whatever gimmick. It usually work outs well. Definitely a fan of the whole Booker-Sharmell angle. I just hope Booker doesn't lose the handi-cap match. - Surprised Bernard took the pinfall loss to Abyss, but it definitely makes Abyss look strong going into War Games. - I thought after Kendrick requested that the title could change hands on a DQ or a countout that Anderson was going to respond with his stip that it would bea no-dq and a no-countout match. I like your stip better though. - Glad to see Anderson retain, and I'm liking what you're doing with Romero here. Week 20: - Never apologize for long write-ups. I love longer write-ups! I also love short write-ups. Whatever you need to do to make a card work is what should be done. - I guess New Jack moves on to bigger and better things. I can't really picture him in a real main event, but who knows? - I really like Big Daddy V. - Afa Jr. and Super Crazy would definitely make for an interesting team. - Well, I'm really liking Romero's character right now, but he definitely needs to start winning matches against guys like Doring. - Carlito and JBL? Two positive pickups for LPW. I hope this isn't a one-off. - Good to see Palumbo back! I'm also happy it was Booker going over here as I prefer him to Sharmell and the House of Pain. Not sure where you will go from here with Booker, but hopefully he enters the singles rankings. - Faces don't win coin flips! - Nice write-up for War Games! Good to see the faces go over here as they seemed to need to this win. I guess this leads right back in to Kendrick vs Anderson....unless Delirious takes the strap. Which I really hope doesn't happen. - You definitely need to sign Carlito for more than 1 more card. He would fit in well here. - Good card and good write-up! Week 21: - Eesh, fire JBL and hire Carlito! That has to be pretty embarassing for the Texan. - Like the name Bad Intentions. - Sandman and Doring is quite the odd pairing. Don't see them meshing too well. - Well, crap. Did DiBiase quit on you? I really liked the Natural Connection. - Of course, I also like Cade and Murdoch! Good signing. - Glad to see them pick up the number one contendership. - Romero sure isn't off to the hot streak that I had hoped for. - Good win for Dupree. Sabu, on the other hand, doesn't seem like he's fitting in very well at this point. - New Jack vs JBL? Wow. I would pay to see that in real life. - Umm...Delirious? Bah. Not the result I wanted, but I can live with it. Hopefully Anderson regains the title soon or maybe a new champion in Dupree? - Next week: Cade and Murdoch over Kendrick and Homicide Bernard and Regal over T and Palumbo New Jack over JBL (but the feud doesn't end there) Jack and Generico over Doring and Sandman... You continue to bring the goods. Looking forward to the next card. |

Welcome back, Joshi! You were sorely missed! When can we expect some more WCW goodness?
A few responses.
- Don't bother with Gargano. He quietly retired after WarGames.
- The rules I'm using required the loser of WarGames to take some time off.
- Also the rules required Carlito's appearance to be a one-off. I would have hired him otherwise.
- I'm really digging Romero too. He and New Jack both created situations for themselves that elevate them higher than what we're used to seeing from them. I don't see either in the Main Event scene but who knows. The losses Romero is getting are actually building up his new persona. You'll see how in the next few cards.
The ruleset is leading me down new roads all the time which is the main reason I'm still in love with this circuit.

- Thanks, Vertigo. Things have kind of settled down (a bit) here so I should be back for awhile. I was debating on moving on to another circuit as going a month without looking at WCW '92 kind of makes it hard to sit down and write again. But instead I think I'll stick with it and try to push out some cards soon. - I actually liked the Gargano character, too bad he quit. I hate it when things like that happen. - I forgot about the rule set. That makes sense. Of course, it will be interesting when DiBiase returns to see what he does with Cade and Murdoch. - Ah. Too bad Carlito didn't give the rub to somebody instead of squashing JBL in two straight. - Romero and Jack are by far the most interesting characters as to where they will go from here. Romero's angle is really good, and I can't predict which way you will take it. |

LPW Week 22
A New Chapter
Our event starts with Karl "The Machine Gun" Anderson, the former LPW Champion, making his way to the ring looking completely disgusted and pissed off. His opponent tonight is a good friend of the man who defeated Anderson last week for the LPW Championship. Petey Williams hits the ring ready to go.
Petey Williams pinned Karl Anderson after a swinging neckbreaker in 0:02:47.
Rating: ***
Anderson tried to jump Petey as he entered the ring but Petey was ready for it. This put Anderson off his game entirely and just like that, Petey pinned Anderson in less than 3 minutes! Petey got out of dodge before Anderson even knew what happened.
Up next is a tag team match between two new teams. Out first, Danny Doring & The Sandman were on the losing end of their first match last week. Their opponents joined forces after facing each other last week in a singles match... Cactus Jack & El Generico!
El Generico and Cactus Jack defeated Danny Doring and The Sandman when Cactus Jack pinned Doring with the Double Arm DDT in 0:03:54.
Rating: ** 1/2
Generico was a bit overzealous early on and was cut off by Sandman with a running bulldog. Sandman & Doring worked well together with quick tags working over Generico but they couldn't put him away. Cactus eventually got the hot tag and after a few forearms smashes and clotheslines he was able to put away Doring with his finisher.
Making his debut in LPW, Kevin Thorn came to the ring looking like a vampire. His opponent tonight is fan favorite Christian York.
Kevin Thorn pinned Christian York after the Splash Mountain in 0:02:36.
Rating: ***
Thorn looked very impressive in his first match in LPW. York was completely off his game tonight as Thorn was able to pick him apart with ease and leave him laying with his brutal Splash Mountain powerbomb variation.
For our next match Rocky Romero heads to the ring. He is met with "Crybaby! Crybaby!" chants from the crowd and he responds by stomping on the mat and pouting. His opponent speeds past his manager Bill Alfonso towards the ring... Sabu!
Sabu pinned Rocky Romero after the springboard DDT in 0:10:58.
Rating: ** 1/2
Sabu had the early advantage with his unique offense but he missed a springboard leg lariat. This gave Romero the opportunity to capitalize. However the taunts from the fans were getting to him and eventually they cost him the match as Sabu turned the tables for the win.
Post Match
Once Romero gained his bearings he threw quite the fit. Then he got on the microphone and called to Bill Alfonso. Alfonso looked on as Romero pleaded that he needed some guidance. He built up Alfonso as the best manager in the business and that a man like Alfonso could help him get his credibility back and get back on track. Alfonso listened for a second and then blew him off and walked to the dressing room. Romero followed close behind continuing to plead for Alfonso's managerial services.
The imposing duo of Giant Bernard & William Regal come to the ring first for our next match. Their opponents come out to a round of cheers; Booker T & Chuck Palumbo!
Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard and William Regal) and Booker T and Chuck Palumbo battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: ** 3/4
A winner in this match could have easily been bumped to the Top Contenders spot in the tag team division and both teams knew this coming in. Before anyone even realized, the time limit had expired. Despite the fans best efforts to get 5 more minutes the bout was declared a draw.
Next up we have a special challenge match between JBL and New Jack...
John "Bradshaw" Layfield defeated New Jack by countout in 0:18:14.
Rating: * 1/4
Not a lot of classic mat wrestling in this match as this match mainly resembled a bar fight. Once JBL was able to get control he used a variety of throws and power moves but the resilient New Jack, with the fans support, continued to fight on. In the closing moments as the match spilled to the arena floor, JBL was able to beat the referee's count after heaving New Jack over the guardrail.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
Following the count out victory JBL headed to the locker room area. Before he could make it New Jack was on the microphone calling him back to fight. JBL declined and claimed he's already won the fight. New Jack reminded JBL he never pinned him and that he doesn't think JBL could ever pin him. This enraged JBL and New Jack challenged him to a No-Countout Match next week with which JBL accepted saying he could pin New Jack's shoulders to the mat any time.
"The French Phenom" Rene Dupree heads to the ring for our next match. He looks to be in the best shape of his life. And he needs to be because his opponent tonight is "The Monster" Abyss!
Abyss defeated Rene Dupree by disqualification in 0:05:29.
Rating: ** 1/2
[Giant Bernard interfered against Abyss.]
Just as the match started picking up Giant Bernard made an appearance. He proceeded to trip Abyss, drag him out of the ring, and slam him head first into the ring post. To no one's surprise the referee immediately disqualified Rene Dupree.
Post Match Promo > In Ring
Following the disqualification Giant Bernard was joined by his fellow Bad Intentions members William Regal and Karl Anderson. All three climbed into the ring with Rene Dupree. Karl Anderson got on the microphone and proceeded to put over the talents, the achievements, and the sheer viciousness that Dupree has shown during his progression in LPW. Anderson went on to say that Dupree is no longer just a 'french phenom', but he's more like a killer! Dupree chimed in with a translation for his new nickname - "Le Français de Tueur". Lastly, Anderson named Rene Dupree THE NEWEST ADDITION TO BAD INTENTIONS!
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now time for your Main Event! It is a Two-out-of-Three Falls Match and it is for the vacant LPW Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch! Their opponents, Brian Kendrick & Homicide!
Your Main Event
[Two-out-of-three-Falls Match for the vacant LPW Tag Team Championship]
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch beat Brian Kendrick and Homicide 2 falls to 1:
x B. Kendrick beat Cade via disqualification in 0:04:13
x Murdoch beat Homicide via the Top-Rope Bulldog in 0:17:00
x Murdoch beat Homicide via the Top-Rope Bulldog in 0:20:29
Rating: *** 1/4
(Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch won the LPW Tag Team Championship.)
Here are your winners.... and NEW LPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!! LANCE CADE AND TREVOR MURDOCH!!
Cade tried to win a fall quickly by using his cowboy boot on Kendrick but the referee witnessed Cade's attack and promptly disqualified the team. However, from that point on Kendrick would never fully recover. He managed to hang in the match and mount small bits of offense here and there but as the match moved past the 15 minute mark he wasn't much assistance for his partner Homicide. Homicide would eventually fall victim to Murdoch's Top-Rope Bulldog not once, but twice.
Overall: ** 1/2
Match of the Night: Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs. Brian Kendrick & Homicide
Circuit Information:
Two weeks ago Lance Cade was forced to vacate the LPW Tag Team Championship due to Ted Dibiase's decision to take time off following WarGames. That same night he introduced his new partner, Trevor Murdoch, and tonight they became LPW Tag Team Champions!
The stable known as Bad Intentions have officially gotten stronger. Tonight they added "Le Français de Tueur", or "The Killer Frenchman", Rene Dupree who has been nothing short of tremendous thus far in LPW. Together Bad Intentions could possibly dominate LPW.
Speaking of Bad Intentions, Karl Anderson challenges Delirious for the LPW Championship next week! Delirious dethroned Anderson last week and it's quite possible that Anderson hasn't had a good night's sleep since. Delirious has expressed his concern about the rest of Bad Intentions getting involved but feels regardless of what happens he plans to remain LPW Champion.
It appears that all of Rocky Romero's begging and pleading has finally gotten to Bill Alfonso. Alfonso has signed his new tag team, Super Crazy & Afa Jr. to compete in a No-Disqualifications Match against Danny Doring & The Sandman. He also requested that Rocky Romero be named the Special Referee for the bout and that he call it right down the middle. He says that if Romero impresses him as a referee then he'll consider representing Romero in future matches.
The rivalry between New Jack and JBL is really starting to heat up. Next week they collide in a No-Countout Match!
An 8 Man Battle Royal has been signed for next week! No names have been officially added to the match but one of the 8 man will be making his LPW debut!
Matches announced for next week:
** LPW Championship Match - Delirious (c) vs. Karl Anderson
** No-Countout Match - New Jack vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
** No-Disqualifications Match with Special Referee Rocky Romero - Super Crazy & Afa Jr. vs. Danny Doring & The Sandman
** 8 Man Battle Royal

- Ouch. Anderson sure is off his game now that he lost the title. Hopefully he gets it back on track and soon.
- It is going to take me some time to warm up to Sandman and Doring teaming together, same with Cactus and Generico. It does give you some nice depth to your tag team scene, however.
- Kevin Thorn is a nice addition. I'll be interested to see what you do with him.
- Sheesh, it's pretty bad when Alfonso can diss you like that. I'm really liking this angle with Romero. Can't wait to see where you go with him.
- Three way dance for the tag titles?
- JBL and New Jack would actually have a decent match, I think. If it was a pure garbage match, of course. But I'm looking forward to seeing who comes out on top here. If New Jack does you almost have to give him a title shot somewhere down the line.
- Dupree joining Bad Intentions is something I can get behind. He'll fit in nicely like an Arn Anderson to Karl Anderson's Ric Flair.
- Really happy that Cade and Murdoch won the titles. I'm still looking forward to DiBiase's return and what happens there.
- I'm really hoping Anderson takes back the title, JBL goes over New Jack, and Doring and Sandman finally pick up a win when Romero goes crazy.

LPW Week 23
Seriously Twisted
Rocky Romero heads to the ring as he is scheduled to referee our opening match. The fans are already on his case. Out next is the team of Danny Doring & The Sandman. They both warn Romero not to try any funny business. Then their opponents, Super Crazy & Afa Jr., come out accompanied by their manager Bill Alfonso.
[No-DQ-Match with Special Referee Rocky Romero]
Danny Doring and The Sandman defeated Super Crazy and Afa Jr. when Sandman pinned Jr. after a flying bodypress in 0:16:54.
Rating: *** 1/4
[Bill Alfonso interfered against Danny Doring.]
[Bill Alfonso interfered against The Sandman.]
This match originally ended in a matter of seconds. Super Crazy went for a pinfall on The Sandman and special referee Romero made a very fast count. The fans boo'd wildly and all four wrestlers had no idea what happened. Bill Alfonso then stepped in and said he wanted Romero "to call it right down the middle!" Romero apologized as he was obviously trying to get on Alfonso's good side and restarted the match. What ensued was a very competitive match with The Sandman squeaking by with a pinfall victory over Afa Jr.
Post Match
Bill Alfonso and his team leave the ring disappointed. Romero follows close behind reminding Alfonso that he did call it right down the middle like he asked. He still asks Alfonso to consider taking him under his wing and to be his manager.
Coming to the ring for our next match, one half of the LPW Tag Team Champons, Trevor Murdoch. His opponent tonight is the ever-popular Booker T!
Trevor Murdoch pinned Booker T with the Top-Rope Bulldog in 0:07:15.
Rating: ***
Murdoch had his hands full tonight against a former Tag Team Champion but still managed to win. This is the 3rd consecutive loss for Booker T. Coincidentally the losing streak began after he forced his wife Sharmell out of the company.
Our next match is an Over-The-Top-Rope Battle Royal! The ring quickly fills with 8 competitors and we're set for action.
[8-Man Battle Royal]
Billy Ken Kid won an 8-man Battle Royal:
x Thorn threw out York in 0:01:49
x P. Williams threw out Daddy V in 0:02:24
x Sabu threw out Thorn in 0:03:05
x Sabu threw out P. Williams in 0:04:27
x Sabu threw out Cactus Jack in 0:05:26
x Sabu threw out C. Palumbo in 0:05:55
x Ken Kid threw out Sabu after a kick to the chest in 0:08:10
Rating: ** 3/4
This was the debut match of Billy Ken Kid and he made quite the impression. Following Sabu's elimination spree only Billy Ken Kid remained. The masked man from Japan dazzled the fans with his quickness and counters but Sabu sidestepped a charging Ken Kid and used his momentum to send him over the top rope. However, using a ringside chair for assistance, Ken Kid was able to stay on the ring apron. As Sabu noticed Ken Kid had not been eliminated he went to him to finish the job. To everyone's surprise, Ken Kid pulled a bag of powder from his boot and threw it in the eyes of Sabu temporarily blinding him. This enabled Ken Kid to get back in the ring and send Sabu over the top with a running kick to the chest. Billy Ken Kid was satisfied with his win but the fans showered him with boos for his underhanded tactic.
Entrance music plays as we get set for our next match. The other half of the LPW Tag Team Champions, Lance Cade, heads to the ring proudly displaying his belt. His opponent receives a huge ovation from the fans as they sing along "Ole! Ole! Ole! Ole!" - it's El Generico!
El Generico pinned Lance Cade after a T-Bone Suplex in 0:14:29.
Rating: ** 1/4
This could easily be considered an upset! Cade controlled most of the match using his size advantage to keep Generico grounded. In the end, Generico mustered up the last bit of strength he had left and planted Cade with a T-Bone Suplex to get the win!
Post Match
After clearing the cobwebs and realizing he had just lost, Cade attacked Generico. The attack continued until Cactus Jack came to the rescue and ran off Cade. Cade's partner, Trevor Murdoch, came to ringside as well and both teams argued with one another before Cade & Murdoch headed to the locker room area.
Giant Bernard & William Regal, 2 members of Bad Intentions, headed to the ring for their match with rivals Homicide & Brian Kendrick.
Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard and William Regal) defeated Brian Kendrick and Homicide when Bernard pinned B. Kendrick after a power bomb in 0:11:18.
Rating: *** 1/2
A really good, hard-hitting tag team match here. The duo of Bernard & Regal have really come along in recent weeks. They continued their dominance with a clean win over Homicide & Kendrick, two of Bad Intentions rivals.
Up next is a rematch from last week. The newest member of Bad Intentions, Rene Dupree, heads to the ring with a crazed but determined look. He's set to face "The Monster" Abyss!
Abyss pinned Rene Dupree with the Black Hole Slam in 0:13:13.
Rating: ** 1/4
These two faced each other last week but the match was cut short when Dupree's new allies, Bad Intentions, got involved. This time there was no outside interference. This was a give-and-take match as Dupree continues to turn heads with his resilience and aggression. In the end, Dupree struggled to lock on the Bonne Nuit. Abyss used his weight to takeover Dupree and when Dupree turned around he was caught in the Black Hole Slam. A hard fought victory for "The Monster".
Coming up we have another rematch from last week, but with an added stipulation. John "Bradshaw" Layfield and New Jack have a score to settle in a No-Countout Match...
[No-Countout Match]
New Jack pinned John "Bradshaw" Layfield with the 187 in 0:02:56.
Rating: ** 1/4
JBL likes to run his mouth and he may have ran it too far tonight. He claimed he could defeat New Jack anytime, anywhere under any circumstances but things didn't work out for him tonight. "The Original Gangsta" forced this match to the ringside area right away and the two battled on the floor for nearly two minutes. Once back in the ring, New Jack was able to to slam JBL and hit the 187 for the win!
Post Match Promo > In Ring
JBL angrily grabbed a microphone after the match and called out to New Jack. He reminded New Jack that this company was called Live PRO WRESTLING, not Live STREET FIGHTING! He said throwing punches and brawling on the outside of the ring is NOT wrestling. New Jack then responded by telling JBL that he knew what he was getting into when he signed that contract for a No-Countout Match. JBL responded by saying he signed up for a wrestling match, not a street fight. But if it's a fight New Jack wants, it's a fight he'll get. JBL challenged New Jack to a No-Holds-Barred Street Fight for next week! New Jack accepted with a smile on his face.
It is now time for your Main Event... and it is for the LPW CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, the challenger... he is a member of Bad Intentions and the former LPW Champion... "THE MACHINE GUN" KARL ANDERSON! His opponent, accompanied to the ring by his manager Daizee Haze... he is the current LPW Champion... THIS... IS... DELIRIOUS!!
Your Main Event
[LPW Championship Match]
Delirious defeated Karl Anderson by disqualification in 0:02:41.
Rating: ** 1/4
(Delirious retained the LPW Championship.)
Anderson was so hell-bent on regaining the Championship that he let his emotions get the best of him. In an act of desperation he introduced a steel chair to Delirious's skull and before Anderson even realized what happened he was disqualified. This only enraged the former Champion and after running the referee off he measured Delirious for another chair shot. Daizee Haze tried to yank the chair from Anderson but he shoved her down and she scurried to the safety of ringside before becoming a target. Delirious started getting to his feet and Anderson prepared to KO the masked LPW Champion for good. Out of nowhere, TED DIBIASE slid in the ring and stood directly in between Anderson and Delirious, staring at Anderson. The fans were on their feet, not sure what was happening. Anderson was also confused. So much that he dropped the chair and left in frustration. Dibiase then turned his attention to Delirious... AND HELPED HIM TO HIS FEET! The fans responded with cheers as the show comes to an end.
Overall: **1/2
Match of the Night: Giant Bernard & William Regal vs. Brian Kendrick & Homicide
Circuit Information:
The big story tonight was the return of Ted Dibiase who has been absent since War Games. The last thing anyone expected from him was to help Delirious, the man who forced him into submission in the War Games Match. Karl Anderson was livid about Dibiase getting involved in his business and has issued a challenge to him AND Delirious. He wants them in a Six-Man Tag Team Match next week. Anderson will have Giant Bernard & William Regal as his partners, while Delirious has chosen Abyss for his team.
The rivalry between JBL & New Jack has heated up QUICK! Next week they will collide in a No-Holds-Barred Street Fight! This match could get WAY out of hand if their previous matches were any indication of what's to come.
We know that Lance Cade is a hot head and sometimes he speaks before he thinks. Immediately following his loss to El Generico tonight he wanted both him and Cactus Jack for next week. Well, Cade gets his wish. Next week he and partner Trevor Murdoch defend the LPW Tag Team Championship against Cactus Jack & El Generico!
Billy Ken Kid made quite the debut tonight by winning an 8-Man Battle Royal. It didn't come without controversy though. With the help of blinding powder he won the match and lost all the fans respect at the same time. Bill Alfonso has issued a challenge on behalf of Sabu for a singles match next week against BKK.
Rocky Romero has continued his campaign to get Bill Alfonso to be his manager. He served as a referee tonight just as Bill Alfonso asked and he now waits for his next task from Alfonso. When approached Alfonso ignored all questions regarding Rocky Romero.
Also just signed for next week. For the first time LPW - a Tag Team, 3 Way Dance! Booker T & Chuck Palumbo, Homicide & Brian Kendrick, and Danny Doring & The Sandman are the teams for this unique match.
Matches announced for next week:
** LPW Tag Team Championship Match - Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch (c) vs. El Generico & Cactus Jack
** Six-Man Tag Team, Grudge Match - Delirious, Abyss, & Ted Dibiase vs. Karl Anderson, Giant Bernard, & William Regal
** Last Man Standing Match - John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. New Jack
** Sabu vs. Billy Ken Kid
** First Time Ever, Tag Team Three-Way Dance - Danny Doring & The Sandman vs. Homicide & Brian Kendrick vs. Booker T & Chuck Palumbo

- I like the fast count by Romero, yet he was still screwed over by having to call it down the middle. I'm not sure where you are going with this, but I like the ride so far. - I was hoping for Booker T to come away with a push after his feud with Sharmell, but it doesn't look like that will be the case. Hopefully he doesn't job his way out of the circuit. - Billy Ken Kid ... never heard of him. I'll have to take a look on Youtube, I guess. - I didn't picture Jack and Generico being thrown in to the tag title scene so fast. Definitely hoping that Cade and Murdoch retain. I'm actually wanting them to hold on to the straps until DiBiase returns. - New Jack hasn't lost in forever, it seems. I'm still enjoying his feud with Bradshaw, but I'm guessing next week is the end of it. - I like the swerve to the swerve at the end. It was a definite that DiBiase was going to swerve and hit Delirious and then swerved that swerve by helping him up. I like stuff like that. - I was hoping DiBiase was going to come back and there'd be some type of feud involving him, Murdoch, and Cade...but I guess that can still happen. Sad that Anderson didn't regain his title. Let's see here: Cade and Murdoch over Jack and Generico I'm going to say Bad Intentions goes over....I still don't trust DiBiase. New Jack over JBL Kid over Sabu Doring and Sandman win the the three way dance. |

- I like the fast count by Romero, yet he was still screwed over by having to call it down the middle. I'm not sure where you are going with this, but I like the ride so far. To be honest, when this whole thing with Romero started I had no idea where it was going either. I just knew he needed something - and I'm having a lot of fun with him. I'm actually preparing to run Week 27 and Romero is in a tough spot going in. - I was hoping for Booker T to come away with a push after his feud with Sharmell, but it doesn't look like that will be the case. Hopefully he doesn't job his way out of the circuit. I think Booker's recent losing streak is just something people go through. He seems to be lacking confidence with Sharmell gone, despite Palumbo and the fans best interest to push him along. - Billy Ken Kid ... never heard of him. I'll have to take a look on Youtube, I guess. Small guy, good look, good worker. The 'm' key has really been throwing me some workers from left field lately. - I didn't picture Jack and Generico being thrown in to the tag title scene so fast. Definitely hoping that Cade and Murdoch retain. I'm actually wanting them to hold on to the straps until DiBiase returns. Going unbooked and using a rulesheet you never really know who's going to get paired up or where they're going to end up. But that's something I really like. And the Generico & Jack duo is something I also really like. - New Jack hasn't lost in forever, it seems. I'm still enjoying his feud with Bradshaw, but I'm guessing next week is the end of it. New Jack surprises me. I never thought I would use him in the way that I have, but again, that's the fun of running unbooked with a ruleset. - I like the swerve to the swerve at the end. It was a definite that DiBiase was going to swerve and hit Delirious and then swerved that swerve by helping him up. I like stuff like that. Dibiase has got that look going for him where he's easy to cheer, but hard to trust. His time off after WarGames gave me the opportunity to bring him back in a unique position. - I was hoping DiBiase was going to come back and there'd be some type of feud involving him, Murdoch, and Cade...but I guess that can still happen. Sad that Anderson didn't regain his title. I think I prefer this Dibiase over The Natural Connection Dibiase. I'm not sure when The Natural Connection's paths will cross again because they're both doing something different now, but it could be a big deal when it does. Anderson may not be holding the belt but I still think he's the most valuable asset to LPW right now. I didn't give him the franchise contract for nothing. I liked him as Champion, but I also like him as the unrelenting Challenger. He REALLY wants that belt back. |

As usual, the 'm' key brought me an interesting pair of wrestlers for this card. I got favorable results here, although some finishes could have been better. Things are progressing rather nicely.
-----------------------------------------------
LPW Week 24
In The Heat of the Night
Tonight's show starts off with a bang! 3/4 of Bad Intentions will take on the trio of Abyss, LPW Champion Delirious, and Ted Dibiase. This is Dibiase's first match since his injury at War Games 4 weeks ago.
Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard, Karl Anderson and William Regal) defeated Delirious, Ted DiBiase and Abyss when K. Anderson pinned DiBiase with the Spinebuster in 0:07:42.
Rating: ** 1/4
[Rene Dupree interfered against Abyss.]
Rene Dupree, the 4th member of Bad Intentions, provoked Abyss off the ring apron and into a brawl to the locker room area. As Delirious tried to intervene, Bernard & Regal double-teamed him on the outside of the ring as Anderson picked up the win over Dibiase in the ring.
Post Match
Anderson wasn't done though. He ordered Bernard & Regal to hold Delirious & Dibiase because he was planning on smashing their skulls in with a steel chair. Instead, BRIAN KENDRICK & HOMICIDE hit the ring forcing Bad Intentions to retreat.
A small rivalry has formed between Petey Williams and Big Daddy V. Three weeks ago BDV was disqualified in a match against Petey for manhandling the referee. And last week Petey single-handedly eliminated BDV from the battle royal. Tonight they collide again!
Petey Williams pinned Big Daddy V after a Cradle DDT in 0:12:43.
Rating: *
The unbelievable toughness and persistence of Petey Williams helped him prevail in this match. He took the beating of a lifetime by BDV but at the same time BDV was punching himself out. When he ran out of gas Petey was able to bring him to the canvas headfirst with a Cradle DDT for the pin!
Our next match pits the gothic Kevin Thorn against the fan-favorite Christian York.
Christian York pinned Kevin Thorn with the Inverted Cross in 0:18:16.
Rating: ** 1/4
These two were able to keep the fans interested in the match for over 18 minutes. They were solidly behind York and this could have been what pushed York to victory. Thorn lost the match cleanly and could only head to the locker room with his head down in disgust.
Bill Alfonso leads his team of Super Crazy & Afa Jr. to the ring. Their opponents tonight have yet to be named but we quickly find out.
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
A masked wrestler heads to the ring. He wears a black mask, black trunks, black boots, and a towel around his neck. He looks like a wrestler from the 1930's. He gets on the microphone and introduces himself as the "Legendary" Matt Classic. After talking about his accomplishments dating all the way back to the early 20th century he goes on to speak about a revolution of masked wrestlers hitting the United States. He mentions that the current LPW Champion, Delirious, wears a mask and that masked wrestlers are superior in every way. He then says he has already recruited one member to his SECRET SOCIETY. A luchadore who compliments Matt Classic's style perfectly... Crazy Boy!
The Secret Society (Matt Classic and Crazy Boy) defeated Afa Jr. and Super Crazy when Crazy Boy pinned Super Crazy after a moonsault in 0:18:21.
Rating: *** 1/2
[Bill Alfonso interfered against Matt Classic.]
[Bill Alfonso interfered against Crazy Boy.]
The Secret Society picks up a nice win here in their first match in LPW. The fans certainly didn't take a liking to Matt Classic and his constant taunting. Alfonso's team worked very well together again but they were bested tonight.
Rocky Romero heads to the ring with something to say. The fans are giving him hell with an onslaught of "Crybaby!" chants.
Pre Match Promo > In Ring
Romero says he knows that he still hasn't proved himself to Bill Alfonso or earned back the respect of the fans but he thinks he's on the right path. He advises Alfonso to watch the next match because he is issuing an Open Challenge to anyone here tonight. And furthermore, whoever accepts it may choose any stipulation for the match.
The Open Challenge didn't take long to be answered as Rene Dupree comes to the ring. He's showing signs of his brawl earlier with Abyss but he's more mad than anything. He gets in the ring and names his stipulation... SUBMISSION MATCH!
[Open Challenge, Submission Match]
Rocky Romero defeated Rene Dupree when Rene Dupree passed out in a camel clutch in 0:14:48.
Rating: *** 1/4
[Abyss interfered against Rene Dupree.]
Dupree dominated this match. It looked as if he was taking his anger out on Romero and not concerned with actually winning. To Romero's credit, he wouldn't quit. In the end, Dupree had been continuously warned by the referee about choking Romero. The temper of Dupree really came through when he hurled the referee outside of the ring. Unfortunately for Dupree Abyss was waiting for an opportunity for some revenge and this was it. Abyss came to the ring wielding a 2x4 and promptly nailed Dupree in the lower back crumpling him to the canvas. As Abyss left, content with his payback, Bill Alfonso rushed to the ring and advised Romero to apply the camel clutch, a signature move of Sabu's. Romero did as he was told and when the referee came to Dupree was tapping out!
Our next match should be an exciting one was it's the first ever Tag Team 3-Way-Dance in LPW!
[Tag Team 3-Way-Dance]
Homicide and Brian Kendrick drew Danny Doring and The Sandman and Booker T and Chuck Palumbo:
x time limit expired (B. Kendrick and Doring) in 0:20:00
Rating: *** 3/4
As the time limit was creeping closer, Booker T's frustration was clearly visible. Multiple times throughout the match he attempted to put his opponents away but was unsuccessful. In escalated to the point where he and Palumbo were arguing with one another on the ring apron while the time limit expired. They continued to argue all the way to the locker room area. Meanwhile, in the ring, things were about to get a little out of hand...
Post Match Brawl > In Ring
Bad Intentions hit the ring immediately following the match and attacked Brian Kendrick & Homicide. Doring & The Sandman took the hint and left while Bad Intentions went to work. It wasn't long before Abyss & Delirious came out to even the odds! As the melee ensued, Ted Dibiase hit the ring in favor of the good guys leaving Bad Intentions no choice but to retreat. Anderson could be heard shouting about getting the LPW Championship back as Bad Intentions headed to the locker room.
Last week Billy Ken Kid made his debut by winning a Battle Royal. The last man he eliminated was Sabu but not without the help of the old "powder-to-the-eyes" tactic. Up next, Sabu challenges Billy Ken Kid!
[Special Challenge Match]
Billy Ken Kid defeated Sabu when Sabu passed out in a front facelock in 0:04:29.
Rating: ** 1/2
If there was a question before of Billy Ken Kid's ability in one-on-one action those questions have been answered. Halfway through the match MATT CLASSIC stood in the aisle watching closely. BKK looked very strong and in command in tonight's matchup against Sabu. After putting away Sabu, Billy Ken Kid walked passed Matt Classic who was nodding his head in approval. Classic then put his hand on Kid's shoulder and walked with him through the curtain.
John "Bradshaw" Layfield's music plays as we get set for the Street Fight. The music continues to play, but JBL doesn't come out. The fans boo wildly as it appears JBL has no-showed his match with New Jack. The boos quickly turn to cheers as New Jack makes his way towards the ring with a confused look on his face. Just before he makes it JBL rushes him from behind!
[Street Fight]
John "Bradshaw" Layfield defeated New Jack when New Jack passed out in a side headlock in 0:02:32.
Rating: *
JBL employs some mind games here by jumping New Jack from behind. This was something New Jack just couldn't recover from. Aside from a few desperate punches JBL dominated this match. To the fans dismay JBL put away New Jack in under 3 minutes. If we know anything about New Jack, this won't be the end of it.
The following contest is scheduled for one fall. It is your Main Event and it is for the LPW Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the challengers... "The Generic Luchadore" El Generico and Cactus Jack! And their opponents, from Waxahachie, Texas... they are the reigning LPW Tag Team Champions... Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch!
Your Main Event
[LPW Tag Team Championship Match]
Cactus Jack and El Generico defeated Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch when Cactus Jack pinned Murdoch after a powerslam in 0:10:57.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Cactus Jack and El Generico won the LPW Tag Team Championship.)
Here are your winners.... and NEW LPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! CACTUS JACK AND EL GENERICO!!
Unbelievable! It was just three weeks ago the Cactus Jack & El Generico met and now they are the LPW Tag Team Champions! Cade & Murdoch are beside themselves as Cactus & Generico celebrate with the fans! Cade & Murdoch had the match well under control as they spent the majority of the time punishing El Generico. But a quick turn of events allowed Generico to tag in Cactus Jack who immediately cleared house and with an impressive powerslam he was able to pin Murdoch!
Overall: **3/4
Match of the Night: Danny Doring & The Sandman vs. Brian Kendrick & Homicide vs. Chuck Palumbo & Booker T
Circuit Information:
The odd duo of El Generico & Cactus Jack are new LPW Tag Team Champions! Cade & Murdoch have already vowed to get the belts back and they have promised to stop at nothing until that happens. They will have to earn their shot though because they have no mandatory rematch clause in their contracts.
Bad Intentions have been causing a lot of problems since officially becoming a stable. With the addition of Rene Dupree they have become more ruthless in their attempts to stand on top alone. Lately, though, Dupree has had his hands full with "The Monster" Abyss! A series of matches and sneak attacks have brought the best and the worst out of both of these men. Next week, they will be linked together in a brutal DOG COLLAR MATCH!
Karl Anderson has shown no mercy while trying to earn another LPW Championship Match, but he's not the next in line. In fact, next week Delirious has decided to defend the LPW Championship against Ted Dibiase. Could this be a reward for Dibiase's help against Bad Intentions since his return or just another way to anger Anderson? Either way Anderson will have to put his LPW Championship goal behind for at least another week because next week he meets his old nemesis Brian Kendrick.
Matt Classic conducted a post-show interview where he introduced Billy Ken Kid as another member of Secret Society. As you know BKK is another new masked wrestler here in LPW. Classic said that next week BKK & Crazy Boy will be in a non-title match against the LPW Tag Team Champions, Cactus Jack & El Generico.
Booker T & Chuck Palumbo have been difficult to get comments from lately. Everyone has seen the disagreements between the two and it's no secret that Booker has been on quite the losing streak. Hopefully we can get things cleared up between this great tag team.
New Jack is still looking for revenge against JBL. While JBL has refused another singles match he has agreed to a Six Man Tag Team Match. Their partners have not been announced yet.
Rocky Romero was impressive in his victory over Dupree tonight even if he did have help from Abyss. But the question is; was Bill Alfonso impressed?
Kevin Thorn has decided not to sign a long term contract with LPW. Tonight was his last night with the company.
Matches announced for next week:
* LPW Championship Match - Delirious (c) vs. Ted Dibiase
* Dog Collar Match - "The Monster" Abyss vs. "Le Français de Tueur" Rene Dupree
* Karl "The Machine Gun" Anderson vs. Brian Kendrick
* Non-Title Match - "The Generic Luchadore" El Generico & Cactus Jack vs. Secret Society members Billy Ken Kid & Crazy Boy
* Six-Man Tag Team Match - John "Bradshaw" Layfield and two partners vs. "The Original Gangsta" New Jack and two partners

- Sucks that DiBiase had to eat the pinfall as it kind of hinders his momentum on the return, but things are still progressing rather nicely there. - I sure hope Big Daddy V catches a break sometime soon. Big fan. - I'm already a big fan of Matt Classic even if I don't know who he is. Hopefully he sticks with you for awhile. I could see him working in to several feuds pretty nicely. - Eventually Dupree is just going to have to quit or realize he's a jobber now. - Funny seeing Sandman retreat after seeing him in ECW always take the beatdown instead. - I would pay tons of money to see a street fight end in a side headlock. That was great. This is New Jack's first lost in quite some time, I think, so it's quite the win for JBL. - Not all that happy that Cade and Murdoch have already lost the tag titles, but what can you do? Jack and Generico sure do make an interesting pair, but I'm hoping the former champs regain the straps in the rematch. - Crap. No rematch? Bah! - Thorn's gone? That sucks. I was hoping he would re-sign with you and we'd get some fun gothic action. Let's see...predictions: DiBiase over Delirious (Pleaseohplease) Abyss over Dupree Anderson over Kendrick Generico and Jack over Kid and Boy JBL and two partners over New Jack and two partners I'm really liking the fact that almost everybody has their own feuds and you have built them all up very well. |

I always try to get everyone involved in something. This way I'm not just looking forward to the really big cards, but every card. But sometimes I don't have something for everyone... like Big Daddy V right now. I just can't fit him into anything major at the moment (no pun intended).
My Tag Titles have been hotshotting ever since the beginning. I hope a team can keep them for longer than 2 defenses.
Check out some Matt Classic stuff on YouTube. He's a comedy character but I'm going to try to do more with him. It's an alternate gimmick for Colt Cabana.
As far as Rene Dupree goes, he's great. He might be losing but LPW isn't totally about winning and losing. Dupree consistently puts up good match ratings.
