NSW Heavyweight Championship
(c)"The Disciple" Damien Logan vs. Tony "The Dragon" Givens ???lbs. Bristol, TN - No stats on either man as they cut the intros from the video, but it's a cruiserweight vs. a heavyweight. Logan had wrestled in OVW and Smokey Mountain Wrestling, alas today the man confined to a wheelchair after his father shot him repeatedly in an attempt to kill him. Logan is the larger man wearing the flames and this ended up being his last match ever. This was from Kingsport, TN on 2/27/2003. Lockup to the corner, Logan with a punch and inverted atomic drop, shoulderblock. Givens with an inverted atomic drop and drop kick sending Logan out. Givens teases a move to the floor but Logan yanks Givens off the apron, clothesline, rams him into a chair, toss in. Man there's hardly anyone in the seats watching this show, what's up with that? Logan whip elbow gets two. Logan pulls on Givens face then goes to work on the leg. Logan elbow in the corner, choke, shoulderblock in the corner, whip shoulder in the gut. Logan snap mare, kick to the back gets two. Rear headlock, Givens stands up, elbows out, but gets elbowed outside. Givens climbs up, shoulderblocks Logan, sunset flip gets two. Logan with a few chops, whip runs into a boot, Givens with a clothesline. Givens goes up, Logan with a punch, Logan goes up with him but gets shoved off, Givens with a tornado DDT getting two. Given whip reverse, DDT Givens gets two. Small package by Givens gets two. Givens slugs away in the corner, weak punches at that, Logan with a spinebuster gets two. Logan picks up Givens in a reverse fireman's carry but drops him, then does a rollup getting two. Hmmmm...Logan blew something there. Turnbuckle smash in the corner, whip Logan, eats a boot, Givens hits Logan with the Sliced Bread #2 getting two. Wade Adams jumps in the ring out of nowhere and causes a cheapo DQ. LAME. Side suplex Adams. Tony "The Shooter" Cooper comes in the ring and slugs away on Logan and Adams. Powerslam Cooper on Logan. Big Daddy Gordy comes in the ring and spinebusters Cooper down. Alex Winters enters the ring and blasts Gordy with a kendo stick, which has no effect. Winters nails everyone else with the stick running them off.

WINNER: Tony "The Dragon" Given DQ -> 6:50 mins. *½

"Cutthroat" Josh Cody w/ Rebecca Lynn vs. EZ Money 6'2" 239lbs. Atlantic City, NJ - From the same show as the last match here. EZ Money is the former ECW and short-lived WCW star who the WWF stupidly didn't want. Cody started training at 12, then started wrestling pro at 13, which I'd tell anyone I don't support that idea for the simple fact that they're underage and the injury risks are high. Looks like a heavyweight vs. a middleweight here. Cody is mocking EZ Money to start. Lockup, armbar EZ, reversed headlock Cody, shove, shoulderblock Cody, monkey flip Money, back body drop clothesline outside EZ. Cody shoulderblock, misses a sunset flip, EZ standing moonsault gets two.

EZ with a rope snap, flips over the top rope and hits a clothesline getting two. EZ with a suspended surfboard, drops him and gets two. EZ with a slam, he goes up, does a moonsault but lands on his feet and jams his knee. Cody finally goes after the knee after waiting around, applies a single leglock. Cody stomps away at it, EZ with a enzuigiri. Cody with a drop kick to the knee, knee slam, figure four. Cody keeps grabbing the ropes and the ref is not breaking the hold. After the third time he makes him let go, Cody with a dragon screw leg whip. Cody with a leg vice, but EZ kicks him off. Cody whip sunset flip EZ gets two. Drop kick to the knee by Cody, spinning toe hold, drops knees on the bad knee, ankle lock by Cody. EZ kicks him off, slugs away, whip to the corner, Cody with a snap sunset flip. Cody does a double springboard moonsault but misses entirely. EZ Money slugs him, whip reverse but Cody gets powerbombed for two. Whip to the corner, EZ eats a boot, Cody tries a flying hurraconranna but EZ hits a modified Styles Clash where he drops him on his back gets two. EZ Money goes up, the valet gets on the apron, Stan Lee runs out from the back to crotch EZ Money (Stan Lee from the Midnight Express? Errr...no.) Tony Givens runs out to attack Lee. Cody goes up for a superplex but EZ hits a LOW BLOW. EZ tries to powerbomb Cody from the top rope, but Cody manages to reverse it into a hurraconranna in midair!!! Dang that looked dangerous! And he got the pin from it! Major upset.

Huntington, WV - This one took place on 1/10/2003 in Racine, WV. Darkstorm and Vega start. Furious is the one with blonde hair, Vega's wearing red and gray.

Darkstorm powerslam, tag Givens, arm wringer on Furious. Furious with a rake, pounds away but gets dropkicked in the knees.

Tony "The Dragon" Givens & Justin Sensation vs. "Cutthroat" Josh Cody & Super Destroyer - This is from New Years Day 2004, at a SSW event in Morristown, TN and it's a wide shot during the whole match. Destroyer is the biggest man in the match at 6'7" and 300lbs. dwarfing all the cruiserweights. Now there's been a few different men who've wrestled under the Super Destroyer gimmick, but I doubt this one is the original. Justin and Josh start. Lockup, to the corner, punch by Cody.

Givens stands on Destroyers arm, then does a flip legdrop, Destroyer backs Givens into a corner, whip splash misses, Givens with an armdrag and armbar. Well this Destroyer ain't super, he's just NOT EVEN TRYING. Givens taunts Cody who keeps coming in and the ref has to put him out. Givens tags Justin, kick to the arm, quick tag, elbow on the arm, quick tag Justin with a superkick to the arm, tag Givens, elbow, then hands the armbar to the ref for Givens to do a running elbow on the arm. Sheesh, all that's missing is the crowd to count the repeated moves, it ain't the ten punch count that's for sure. Givens now sits on the arm pulling it upward, tag Justin, he sits on the arm repeatedly, then applies a hammerlock, arm wringer, Destroyer finally throws a kick and slams Justin but misses an elbow.

Destroyer tosses Givens out, Justin goes up, Cody dodges a frogsplash, Givens gets posted by Destroyer outside. Cody pickup, whip Justin gets grabbed on a leapfrog attempt, Cody hangs Justin upside down on his back and drops him in a new version of a piledriver for the win. Some unusual moves and rapid succession of the same moves made an interesting change of pace for tag team action apart from the tried and true tag work seen by many. Wished they'd position the camera a bit differently though. A bit better than the previous tag match but the flaws in the match stick out like sore thumbs.

WINNERS: Cutthroat Josh Cody & Super Destroyer pin -> 17:00 mins. **¾
