The Rap Sheet - from the Crimefighter
New Midwest Wrestling's November Reign II
11/22/2K3 Springfield, IL

Less talk, lots more action!

This rap sheet is posted on http://www.newmidwest.com/forum, the newsgroup rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info , and the new address for the Rap Sheet Dossier is http://rap-sheet.tripod.com.

You know I didn't think this day would ever arrive, considering the crap I had to endure with wrestlers OUTSIDE of NMW. I've been battling one absolute dimwitted loudmouth paper champion and his manager who flips between two different names without any change in appearance as if he's doing the Clark Kent/Superman secret identity thing or something on the shows. You could fool a few kids but it doesn't work if the person uses both names and signs with the wrong name when posting under another ID. And he worries about spoiling it. Thankfully the nimrod lost the belt he never won in the first place. Unfortunately he still won't shut up, and I've gotten wind he's gonna do something stupid if I appear on another one of their shows.

The annual voting for the RSPW Year End Awards is almost over, if you haven't cast your vote for the best and worst of the year in wrestling...GET YOUR BUTT MOVING!!! YOU GOT 'TIL MONDAY TO VOTE!!! http://www.rspw.org for the ballot, info and other stuff.

Tonight's show had parking run out, and the lot was not well utilized for space. They could not use the lot next door cause for some reason the owners of the property don't wanna share their unoccupied after business hours space. The other neighboring lot couldn't share space either cause the Bradfordton Town Hall was having some function. Yeah, the shows are actually taking place in a little village called Bradfordton just northwest of Springfield, but finding the town of less than fifty or so on a map is considered difficult. Those people who arrive at the show early or are personnel for the show need to park the cars between the lines or something and have the people in line located along the edge of the parking lot instead of the middle of it for their own safety. The lot in back has some room left to rock and mow down the weeds so cars can park back there. Attendance looked to be pushing well over 300, they certainly crammed in that gym, and may soon need to get themselves a bigger venue if they have to start turning people away. While in line I overheard someone say they're leaving before the show is over, I ask why, they say because they drove out from Bloomington and don't want to be out there after 10pm. Perhaps NMW should consider moving the start time back an hour to 6pm. In previous months people had to leave cause they had to work the late shift. Since it gets dark a lot earlier, might be wise.

Your ring announcer is Jimmy "The Bruiser" Osbourne. An NMW "Desire" video airs before the matches begin.

One Weapon Triple Threat #1 Contenders Match Central IL Title
Toga Steve (3-3) 5'10" 240lbs. Carbondale, IL w/ Freshman Matt Boston vs. Lucious P. Cotrain (6-3) 5'10" 230lbs. Land of Lucious vs. "Rather Charming" Bradley Stephens (5-2) 6'0" 225lbs. Las Vegas, NV - The winner has to use the weapon against an opponent to pin him. The freshman has a bunch of weapons with him. Toga Steve has the mike, goes through the choices of weapons, what about a keg? He thought of it, but it's been done. So he's gonna do something special, he turns to his partner saying since he's not doing anything tonight, so he's the weapon! Just about everyone in the NMW Forums called that one! I thought the idea was barbaric. Matt says he's not dressed to wrestle, so Toga says we'll let fate decide, and he still picks Boston. He orders him to get the other crap out of the ring. I dunno HOW they're gonna use him as a weapon, I mean he's only 120 pounds. He's gonna be used like a rag doll. Stephens sneaks up and gets hit with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. LPC and Toga double team suplex on Brad. Boston is used for a double team leg drop, LPC goes after Toga. Toga suplexes LPC, Toga calls Boston, whip tosses Boston into the gut of LPC. Stephens lurks on the outside, Toga keeps pounding on LPC, elbow to the back of the head. Toga slams Boston on LPC. Bizarre and barbaric. Toga chokes LPC, Stephens has Boston and rams him into both men for a double two count. Elbow on back of Toga, Brad whip clothesline on Toga. Brad slams Boston on Toga for two. LPC goes to work on both men, LPC bodyslams Toga and Stephens. LPC has Boston, splash on Toga gets one. Stephens breaks it up and goes outside. LPC goes after Brad and slugs him, tosses him into the stairs. Toss in, Toga has him in the corner, set up for shattered dreams, but Toga uses Boston for the Bushwhacker Battering Ram into the gut of Brad. Toga waits on Brad, LPC lurks outside. Toga messes up a move, then clotheslines Stephens over the top, Brad hits hard on the apron. LPC drops a fist from the apron on Brad, toss in the ring. Toga tries a suplex, it's blocked, Brad can't lift him, Toga barely gets him up for a slam. Toga tilt-a-whirl slams Boston on Stephens for two. LPC has Boston, suplexes him on top of Brad for two. Toga has Boston on his shoulders, double team Saluki hammer! Everyone's slowly getting up, Brad and LPC double team Toga, Brad doesn't want to help LPC with a double team, double whip Toga fights them both off. Belly to belly down on LPC's head, belly to belly face first on Brad. Boston with a whip, misses Brad, but he gets crossbodied on Toga sending him out, KICK WHAM STUNNER LPC on Brad! LPC has Boston up on the second rope, tilt-a-whirl splash on Stephens and it's 1-2-3! Truly bizarre match. Toga dejected leaves his tag partner behind.

Beaverdale, PA & "The Marvel" Shane Matthews (0-2) 6'0" 195lbs. Atlantic City, GA - This was originally supposed to be a tag match between Drive Thru and EZ Money, but the promoters inserted EPL and Matthews at the last minute changing this to a six-man. Sanders for some reason is yelling a lot and wants nothing to do with EPL. I start the KFC chant to tease EPL, some people got the idea and chanted along, but all the attention was drawn to a large Drive Thru banner covered in mustard. Peter McDonald Sanders is the new manager of Drive Thru, and this guy ALREADY is picking a fight with me acting like a know-it-all and repeatedly lying about things I have or haven't done. This man is completely devoid of any semblance of a clue, and is extremely drunk on RON's brew. Red and Matthews start, headlock Red, shoveoff shoulderblock kip up by Marvel. Waistlock, takedown by Red, Red elbows Shane, inverted atomic drop on Matthews, then a flatliner! Tag out, in comes Discount Gigolo, PMS argues with someone in front of me, whip Gigolo clothesline on Red! Suplex by Gigolo, Red rakes the face, Red with a slam, tag Coop! Slam by Coop, big heavy elbowdrop gets two. Loco wants in the worst way, whip Gigolo crashes into a brick wall. Tag Red, he stomps away, double team splash and elbow, cover gets one Shane saves it. Red pounds away, whip Gigolo into the corner, Red with a splash, drops down for Coop as if he was going to do Hardy Boy double-team but Red jumps up to call it off and got sandwiched in the corner! How stupid was that! Coop has only one guy to tag out to, tag EPL! Loco pounds away on Gigolo, whip reversed clothesline Gigolo! Tag Moore, suplex on Loco gets two. Moore whip clothesline missed, Loco hits a DDT for two. Rolling thunder gets two. Loco tags Red, middle rope punch to the back. Whip ugly looking hip toss by Red gets one. PMS still runs his mouth. Red with a slam, off the ropes drops an elbow for two. Red argues, whip Red eats a boot, tornado DDT by Moore! Dueling chants going on, Coop and EPL fight over who's to tag in. EPL and Shane are tagged in, clotheslines, doesn't work on Coop, Gigolo gets Moore for a double team clothesline, Gigolo drops an elbow outside, Shane fights EPL in the corner, PMS is in a fight with someone, Shane has EPL on his shoulders, EPL escapes, superkick misses, Matthews gets EPL on his shoulders again for a Samoan Drop for three! I won't be keeping a tally for six-man matches. EPL stumbles out of the ring and is completely dazed.

WINNERS: Shane Matthews, Dick Moore & Ken Mills pin -> 8:30 mins. **¾

NWQ goes out and hides behind the rail. Doug has a hockey stick, NWQ with repeated chairshots to the head and back. NWQ with a quick cover but the ref won't count it, NWQ argues that falls count anywhere, Jimmy says the match must start in the ring. Fine. CLB chant fires off again. Quinten struggles to lift Doug up, but is having problems doing so cause of that freshly damaged knee from bouncing around in the ring. Doug is too heavy for him, but he manages to get a foot on the apron, then gets him in there. NOW the time starts, cover NWQ gets two. NWQ with a pickup, suplex, number two, trifecta!

I'm parked right by there! I did discover later some man who drove a convertible actually parked right in front of the back door. I leave my seat to go out through another door to make sure they don't wreck any cars but they're coming back in that way! We're in the concession area! NWQ and Doug are fighting in there, DDT ON THE FLOOR BY Doug!!! Fraze goes to the concession window, gets a bag of popcorn, where's the cameras? Doug BLASTS NWQ with the bag and popcorn goes everywhere! He wants more concessions! Doug has something in his hand, he's eating a hot dog!

Repeated shots on Doug's head, NWQ legdrop gets two. Danger elbows Quinten, shot to the face with the pan and NWQ is down. Someone has that "Danger doesn't suck, YOU DO" sign. Danger Doug has NWQ and POWERBOMBS HIM ON THE FLOOR! IT'S OVER! And Doug blasts him with the hockey stick on his way out. Somehow Quinten is able to get up from that.

WINNER: "Danger" Doug Fraze pin -> (4-4) 13 mins. ***

Rushville, IL - The stip here is that Earl Grissom must become Stan's slave if he loses for who knows what. Stan has yet to send me the write-up for the September show for the archives.

Stan goes out and fetches a chair, ref stops him, he tries another move, it's blocked but he grabs a $300-400 video camcorder from the cameraman who decided to hop up on the apron to shoot and breaks the camera on Earl's head. The ref appears to have seen it, but he counts the pin anyway. Where's the DQ? Stan gets his first win but it's horribly tainted. Now Earl is his slave.

WINNER: "Mr. Hollywood" Stan Sallinger pin -> (1-4) 6:50 mins. **

There was NO REASON to do that, maybe there was for you, but that was uncalled for, you are ejected from the building and calls for security to get him out. Devall checks on KC, asks the crowd to give him a hand. After the show I asked him why he attacked KC instead of take him as a tag partner and he said cause he fights alone and he's mad. I ask why is he so mad, he's mad cause he wasn't booked for a match on this show. Yeah so were a bunch of other people. I had trouble paying attention to this match after that high-energy TLC match.

WINNER and NEW CHAMPS: The NEW Church of RON pin -> (6-1) 11:45 mins. ***

RON looks like a QUEER wearing that BRA! And the cult STOLE this match! Sage is hurt bad, he's having trouble getting up and he's bleeding on the back of the head from that handcuff shot. He doesn't know where he is, he puts his arm up, may need a haircut to deal with the wounds. After the show was over, I ask Wells if a key was actually up there on the pole, he climbs up and retrieves it. Sage Ramsey was woosy after the show, though the bleeding had been stopped, he still was gonna need stitches. I'm wondering if he had suffered a concussion too, cause he fell down while carrying one of the family kids (niece/cousin not sure).

Michael Shard says some words at the start of a video package, Guy Smith then says some words about the loser leaves town match at the end.

Rapid City, SD - Sign in crowd: "I'm here to watch Emily with a yo-yo"...huh? One of these men is leaving, and my attempts to figure out this match was to look at who had the MOST to gain from losing. Rumors were floating that Michael Shard gots offers from Canada, and Guy Smith would spend most of his time in MPW. The referee reads the rules over the mike at the start. My sign: "NO ONE HONORS LOSERS LEAVE TOWN". Someone after the show was over was trying hard to get me to wager $200 that the loser would NOT be back. Talk about greed.

WINNER: "Alpha Male" Guy Smith pin -> (14-7) 22:25 mins. *****

I'm real hesitant to put five stars on a match, solely cause a match could be overrated then a better match comes along to warrant the rating and the other should be downgraded. Anyway, Shard is given the mike to give his farewell speech. Crowd is cheering him loudly. Mike says he's been wrestling here for four years, and it ends at the 4 year mark. He loves everyone here for cheering us and the company. He thanks Bruiser for not keeping his tie straight and Eric Logan for loaning him these boots. He thanks everyone who trained him, Rip Mystic as Rob Miller and points out his mother, he thanks everyone here. And that's it, he gives a hug to Jimmy and Jason Devall, and Michael Shard, real name Chad Hughes finishes here a former NMW Heavyweight Champion with a record of 10 wins, 12 losses and is heading to Toronto, Ontario, Canada with sponsorship provided by ACW.

WINNER and STILL CHAMP: Real World Jeremy pin -> (11-3-1) 25:20 mins. ****

Unfortunately for Jeremy, he's suffered another injury to his leg, as it was wrapped up after the show was over and was having trouble walking. Uh oh, may have implications for next month's show.

For some reason I seemed to miss the talking, but hey! People come to see the wrestling, and WWE has way too much talking on its shows so this was a nice change. The videos played on the video wall were neat, now if they'd put them up on the website it'd be cool.

Only one match has been made official for next month's show, it's Billy Morgan vs. LPC for the Central IL title. I had put in my ideas up for matches next month, but it seems Jason Devall has a lineup already in mind.
