Driving in snow is no fun...


Hmmm...two nights in a row I’ve driven up toward Peoria. The prior night I went to the Hammerlock show and it was rough going home as the snow started falling. Alas, I stupidly didn’t pack the notebook after picking up the pile of stuff I brought. I have filmed this entire show with my camcorder, so material from this show will be showing up on Vidilife.com eventually (Youtube has that 10 minute time limit so I’m not bothering with splitting up the videos).

Live from Bellevue Plaza Gym. Your ring announcer is Bobby Lee, who’s sounding quite hoarse tonight. Your commentary team is Doug Devore and Scooter. Scooter welcomes us to the festivities and does a rundown of the card, mentioning Midwest Mob is here. He refers to the spillover from Cold War.

Catalyst Cory Carter’s army come out, Ryan Phoenix, Chris Hazard and Andy Roberts. They boast and brag about themselves, and what they’ll do tonight, then TripC compliments his men. Hazard notes the Trifecta means three and we’ve got four. Heck, change your name to the Quadfecta! They think about dumping Andy, but Andy suggests they call themselves the Four Horsemen. Ryan says how about Nation of Domination. TripC suggests the TripC Foundation. Hazard says Disciples of Apocolypse. They laugh. TripC then says we call ourselves the Midwest Mob. Well the real Midwest Mob come out. TripC scoffs at having a match against them, but instead forces the three to wrestle each other for a contract. Bleh.

Triple Threat Match
Brett Gakiya vs. CJ Esparza vs. Axis – Brett dropkicks Axis, CJ dropkicks Axis, Axis slugs CJ, Axis & CJ end up in the corner, Brett can’t get footing but headscissors CJ down. Brett sidesteps Axis dropkicking CJ. Brett nails Axis for two. Axis tries to tilt Brett but eats a knee. Axis to the floor, CJ suplexes Brett into the rope, then dropkicks him into Axis. CJ charges, suicide dive! CJ puts Axis in, slingshot legdrop gets two. Brett is pulled in, chopfest in the corner, Brett Russian legsweep on Axis, into a rings of Saturn! CJ though slams Brett onto Axis, moonsaults on them for two. Axis whips Brett, tosses him into CJ for the reverse DDT and does a regular to Axis for two. Brett puts CJ on top, knocks Brett to the floor, CJ knocks Axis down, but Brett hurraconrannas CJ into Axis and gets two. Brett misses a sidekick in the corner, CJ hangs Brett in the corner, Axis with the tilt on CJ, Axis goes up and plants his boot on the back of Brett’s head and rides it down to the mat and pins him!

WINNER: Axis pin -> 7:10 mins. **½

I guess Axis gets to stay, but the other two members have to go? Okay effort, no where close to topping their other prior encounters that they’ve had. Bobby Lee is having more trouble speaking.

Disrobe Your Beau Match
Josh Powers vs. Cherry Malone – Well Josh is wearing a suit, thought this was supposed to be a tux vs. evening gown? Oh well. Cherry is wearing just a shirt and dress, which means Josh has to have a bunch of things stripped from him to win. This is gonna be surreal. Crowd is behind Cherry, and she slaps him. She throws him down and pulls off the jacket. Drop toe hold from Cherry and tries for the shoes, but ends up clotheslining him down then gets the belt off! She trips him into the rope and belts him one! Powers likes it chant, and Cherry with a suplex. She pulls the shoes off, then claps them into his head! Cherry with a backsplash into Powers in the corner, then pulls the pants off! Oh geez, boxers with hearts all over them! Josh hits her and throws her down, suplex, makes a wish and pulls the skirt off. Josh with a neckbreaker, legdrop, reverse headlock, then pulls the shirt off. Oh boy, Cherry’s disrobed…but the match continues? Cherry slaps him back, whip and clotheslines, Josh though drops her on the top rope, then wraps the belt around her neck! Arrgh, and Morton Von Prose breaks it up, shoves Josh but Cherry LOW BLOWS MVP! Josh and Cherry hug and this is a no contest. Well he FINALLY admits that he loves Cherry! They kiss and leave.

NO WINNER: No contest -> 6:30 mins. *½

It’s supposed to be the Jester’s Court for the next segment, but he’s not here, so Doug Devore is here to interview Kyle Rich. Kyle talks about the injuries he got last show, but he’s fine now. Devore asks about the one title that’s eluded Rich, the heavyweight title. Kyle is tired of being told he’s not won the big one. He mentions the teams that couldn’t be beaten, the Red Sox beating the Yankees, and the Cubs…well he should had mentioned the White Sox here. Kyle wants to wrestle Ryan Phoenix again to prove to Jester, and everyone else he can win the big one. Well Big Pappa comes out instead, with a big limp, as his knee gave out in a match against Diego Corleone. I’m surprised he’s even here! Pappa wonders if the big one is him. Kyle recalls their Perfect Ten days. TripC and his boys come out, and TripC makes a match Big Pappa and someone other than Kyle Rich against Hazard & Pheonix, but Kyle Rich gets to wrestle the Spotlight Spencer Powers! Besides that, Kyle Rich can be the real number one, in the Luck of the Draw Royal Rumble. Oh geez. Rich says he won the last one at #6.

Jynx vs. Prince Mustafa Ali – Jynx drove five hours from NE Indiana to be here tonight! Ali I hadn’t seen before, but wrestles in Indiana and Chicago. Ali gets into an argument with fans off the bat. Crowd mocks him with a camel coffee chant, I think. Basic wrestling to start, Jynx armdrags and a dropkick. Ali keeps arguing with people on my side. Jailbait chant, I don’t get it.

Jynx hits some clotheslines, standing moonsault, standing shooting star gets two. Jynx with a slam, goes up, whisper in the wind MISSES! Ali picks him up, Jynx catches him, but Ali slips out, LOW BLOW, and into the camel clutch! Jynx taps! Ali argues with fans on his way out.

WINNER: Prince Mustafa Ali submission -> 9:35 mins. **¾

Chris Hazard & NGW Heavyweight Champ Ryan Phoenix vs. Big Pappa & Black Dragon – I dunno how Pappa is gonna do this on one leg. Paired with Dragon here is unusual to say the least. Dragon and Phoenix start off, Dragon wrestles him down to the mat, as the crowd chants something offensive. Hazard kicks Dragon, Ryan with a high knee, tag Hazard. Haz works the arm, Dragon gets some rollups for two, Haz powerslams him for that, one hand cover gets two. Ryan tagged in, Dragon takes him down and tags Pappa.

Ryan tries for something, but Dragon blocks it, Ryan lifts Dragon over the top, tries to suplex him in, and the Mastermind runs out to grab the foot and allow the pin! What’s he doing here?

WINNERS: Big Pappa & Black Dragon pin -> 11:35 mins. **

Dennis Devine vs. Party Time Ray Hez – Ray hands out streamers to fans, then fetches a beer…and the streamers fly! Basic wrestling, Dennis drops an elbow and hurts himself on Ray’s back, then Ray moves outta the way on the next one.

NO WINNER: No contest -> 6:30 mins. *

Bland with the non-finish. Brown has to try twice to throw Devine over the top onto Ray Hez. Whoops. Sinnister gets the mike and says no one’s man enough to take the tag belts back from them. Stumpy ain’t here, and Devine can’t do it. The Geek Council answer the challenge however, which causes them to laugh.

Faces of Fear – Sinnister Raul Montenegro & Monster Chris Brown vs. The Geek Council – Dewey Dawson & Gilbert Lewis – Omega Mu throws candy to a bunch of people. Dewey can’t hop the top rope as usual, and is quite battle scared from a fight with Tracy Smothers. GC work over Brown’s arm, until Brown clotheslines Dewey and tags Raul. Dewey trips him into the corner however, the Council proceed to work the leg. Raul yanks Lewis to the floor, Brown walks over and shoves Omega Mu to the floor! That’s NOT how you treat a woman!

People’s Choice Championship – No DQ Four-Way Match

Spotlight Spencer Powers vs. Phenomenal Kyle Rich – Just a week ago he was complaining about the Peoria talent influx into NMW. But the hypocrite couldn’t wait to get himself booked in NGW. Crowd chants homo ranger against SSP. Haha. SSP wants cheers but gets booed. Sinnister threw another streamer roll from the back. SSP has the armbar, but Kyle forces a reversal. Kyle with a legscissors into a cover for two. SSP with a shoulderblock, but Kyle trips him up for the headlock. SSP gets control of it, shoots Rich off, leapfrog and SSP grabs his knee.

Rather good submission type of match until the cheapo DQ. Ryan and TripC get knocked together but Hazard SPEARS Rich! SSP gets in TripC’s face for interfering in his match and they start beating him up! The Midwest Mob run out to chase the heels off. Rich and the Mob salute the crowd before leaving and touch fists. SSP runs TripC out from the back though, and gets the ab stretch on him! SSP chews him out after shoving him to the mat and leaves. Scooter and Devore tout the next show on March 3rd and we’re outta here for the night.

The Verdict: It’s a regular house show, so I wasn’t expecting any matches of the year. Attendance was decent at 85, though the goal is always to crack three digits.

Thumbs leaning up.
