Micro Wrestling Federation
9/1/2K6 Vandalia, IL

Well, who has the better midget fed?

First the good old standard disclaimer. The opinions expressed by the critics of the Mad Conservative Crimefighter are not my own and may be far different from my expressed viewpoints. Complaints about what they are writing about my views should be directed to those people. This rap sheet is posted on The Rap Sheet Dossier at http://rap-sheet.tripod.com and is featured in the St. Louis Wrestling Community at http://stlwrestling.livejournal.com where I am the editor.

Very late last year I took in a midget wrestling show called Half Pint Brawlers who are based out of Chicago. They charged as much as a WWE show charges, but only did two matches the whole evening, leaving me rather unfulfilled and my review negative. I was aware of another all midget wrestling organization, but they had been in dormacy for about a year. At a retirement party for a wrestler than had to get out due to injury, I caught wind from a member of the GAW roster that they were taking their ring south for a Micro Wrestling Federation show. I looked up the website for information, and saw they were back in business so I decided to barrel south after work to see what these guys had to offer and write a review. It sure was looking like rain on the way down, but the skies didn't open up so the show was on!

The show is outside in the back of the smokehouse bar and grill. No chairs, just two sets of bleacher seats and they aren't very big. They could had located the ring a bit better by putting it in between the bleachers, instead we have to stare at one of the corners. They got Great American Wrestling's ring for this event. It is also free admission, so the crowd looks to be of decent size, 200 at about showtime, may have swelled to 250-300 during the show itself.

Miami Sammy is here acting a bit drunk carries the MWF title belt. He says a match occurred last week between Toad and POD, of which Toad won. Because he didn't like how Toad won the title, he declared the title vacant, and there will be a mini-tournament to crown a new champ tonight.

Live from Jebz Smokehouse in Vandalia, IL. Your hosts are "Rage" and "Miami Sammy".

Toad 4'5" 220lbs. vs. Meatball 4'6" 285lbs. - Toad says there shouldn't be a tourney, the belt should be his and there wasn't any cheating. He was just on WWE and he's too good for everyone, people wish they were him. He'll reclaim the belt tonight and wants Meatball out here now. A drunk referee comes out to officiate, and spills his beer all over the mat. They send people to mop it up. Meatball comes out, geez, they call him the world's largest midget...maybe the world's heaviest. Meatball shoves Toad, hits a fat clothesline and elbow for two. Meatball hits a clothesline and slam, but Toad with a LOW BLOW and DDT gets two. Toad chokes him, gets another clothesline for two, makes a wish and drops a headbutt. Hmmmm...this match is looking quite ugly. Toad pulls on the nose, spinkick. Meatball with a splash in the corner, suplex, goes up...and hits an axehandle for two. Spinning heel kick by Toad, Meatball goes into the gravel and they brawl in the lot and toward the bleachers! They get back in, Toad goes up, misses the senton, Meatball with a ROCK BOTTOM gets two but pulls him up! Meatball then proceeds to buttdrop him for the pin. He pulls down his pants and stinkfaces him after the match.

WINNER: Meatball pin -> 9:10 mins. ¾*

Geez, not good even by midget standards. Their weight is hampering them a lot in executing the basic moves I think.

Petey Clark & Kenny O'Brien vs. Jaxson Pride & JC Michaels - Since this is GAW's ring, the GAW guys are having a match. Clark & O'Brien are calling themselves the Freaks of Nature. And the other team we knew well as Drive Thru but they're called the Elements of Power. Pride and Pete start, they mat wrestle, Pride with a DDT and tags JC. Double team splash legdrop combo get two. JC drops his 300lbs leg for two. Pride with a slam, slingshot elbow for ONE. Pride with a springboard splash gets two. Tag JC, slam, but misses the elbow and Petey hits a splash for two. Tag Kenny, legdrop gets two. JC tags Pride back in and hits a DDT for two. Kenny tags Clark and its a slugfest! Spinning heel kick,
Petey Clark goes for the springboard moonsault...and the rope SNAPS!!! Yikes! Pride with the spinning leg knee backbreaker, Pride knocks Kenny off, JC Michaels in with That's a Wrap and gets the pin. I suspect this match was supposed to go for another five minutes but came to an abrupt end with the rope problem.

WINNERS: Jaxson Pride & JC Michaels pin -> 6:10 mins. *½

Needless to say they took a long break to repair the ropes. Petey Clark was holding the back of his head, but he would be okay after a while. Rage does a bunch of antics around ringside during all this, trying to get dates for the drunken ref.

Blixx 3'7" 70lbs. vs. POD 4'4" 125lbs. - Blixx gets the mike, he asks what was that. He thought this was supposed to be a high-class ring, but no it's shot. He should be paid double to work in this ring, but he should be paid triple cause he has to work in front of everyone. He calls out POD. Wonder what POD stands for? POD isn't in face paint tonight. POD has the mike and doesn't care about who's been in WWE and LOW BLOWS the ref! Blixx slaps POD, but POD shoves him. Blixx tries to slug POD but is kept at arms length and gets a spanking! Blixx kicks the leg however, and goes to work on it, ten bounce in the corner, headbutt and chop. POD reverses the whip in the corner and Blixx is down. POD telegraphs the charge, but gets away with it as he hops on the ropes and drops a headbutt to the groin! POD slams the little guy as some idiot throws a bottle in the ring. Well it's not glass, it's one of these new bottle-shaped aluminum cans. POD yanks on Blixx's face, big wedgie gets two. POD then picks him up and does one of the worst looking piledrivers ever as he doesn't hook the head and drops him just holding the legs...ugh. POD gets some beers, then covers for two. Blixx with a LOW BLOW however, blockbuster finishes for the pin.

WINNER: Blixx pin -> 10:25 mins. *

Geez slow motion practically. They do another shirt givaway and auction for tickets and signed T-shirts.

Micro World Championship
Blixx vs. Meatball - Oh boy, this is a big mismatch, a strawweight against a superheavyweight. And they ARE midgets after all! Meatball says something on the mike, and says he has craps bigger than Blixx. Nice. Blixx tries a crossbody but he just drops to the mat, Meatball with an elbow for two. Ram to the corner ten times get two. Meatball holds Blixx up in a suplex for ten seconds and drops him for two. Meatball toys with him more and Gorilla Presses Blixx! Jaxson Pride and Kenny O'Brien however decide to hit the ring for whatever reason attacking Blixx and Meatball for the SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT FINISH in a match that looked like was gonna end in a squash.

NO WINNER: NO CONTEST -> 3:45 mins. ½*

Toad and POD run out to run Pride and O'Brien out. Toad SLAMS Kenny! Meatball SLAMS Pride! The POD and Toad splash Pride and O'Brien and pin each of them. After they are removed, they make it into a battle royal between the midgets.

Micro World Championship - 4 Man Battle Royal
Blixx vs. Meatball vs. POD vs. Toad - Well since the title match was ruined, it's push the opponents out of the ring or pin them. Enzuigiri by POD on Toad for two. Meatball goes after Toad. Blixx and Toad are rammed in the center of the ring. POD is tossed out, Toad with a low blow on Meatball, Blixx assists with a double team and try to dump Meatball but he stays in. Toad whips Meatball and they crash into each other. Toad and Meatball slug it out, but Meatball dumps Toad out, so it's the two guys that started the match. Meatball chokeslams Blixx! Toad argues with Meatball, Blixx gets up, Meatball tries to powerbomb Blixx but Blixx got a flashlight from somewhere and hits Meatball in the head with it...and that gets the pin! What?

WINNER and NEW CHAMP: Blixx pin -> 4:20 mins. *

Blixx says my time, my title, get the heck out of his ring. They do the posing for pictures and stuff after the show and we're done.

The next day Blixx defended his title twice, defeating both POD and Toad in seperate matches.

The Verdict: Well what can I say. These people need practice hitting their moves. Now we didn't have the full Micro roster here, so have no clue how their major or paid shows go. Comparing Micro with Half Pint, Micro didn't charge $25-40 a ticket, did a few more matches, and gave away a lot more stuff. On THAT basis, I could claim Micro has the better fed. On ringwork, Half Pint did better matches than Micro, but I've only seen half of Micro's roster. For now I'm gonna declare a...

Hung jury.
