First major snowfall of the year made very slick roads...

Today was a two-inch snowfall, and by gosh, the roads were very bad. The city of Springfield didn't get the salt trucks and plows out until 10am or so, but I certainly didn't see them around and the major roads around town looked like nothing had been done to them. I didn't have my own car to drive this day, I was driving a car where the tires need replacing, and stopping that vehicle was very difficult. I slid into a curb, and darn near slid into an intersection at a red light, at a slow speed. Due to the weather, it appeared that attendance at this month's NMW show was cut in half. Now this show was set up for the kids, gifts for the little tots were being given away in a drawing at the end of the show. First thing I notice entering the gym is that there are four giant wrapped boxes around the ring big enough for someone to hide in.

Last month, Sage Ramsey suffered a concussion from that handcuff shot to the head. I had thought he'd sit out this month but he signed up for the main event. All the title holders were given the month off, Real World Jeremy needed the break the most, his knee was wrecked from last month's four-way elimination.

Jimmy "The Bruiser" Osbourne is your ring announcer, Jason Devall is your president. Devall asks how was November Reign last month, then goes over the events. He mentions Michael Shard, who was sitting behind me. Devall says the match between NWQ and Danger Doug caught his eye so he wanted to make a special match for them. There's four big boxes around the ring, one of those boxes has a check for $1000. The other three boxes have a wrestler hiding inside them that once they're let out can go for the money themselves. Jason Devall does a shaking of the booty and gets Jimmy to do a shake.

Naughty or Nice Match
Danger Doug Fraze (4-4) 6'6" 275lbs. Chicago, IL vs. New World Quinten Tyler (1-4) 5'11" 230lbs. Denver, CO vs. ??? -- All right, these two are gonna start the match. Hopefully NWQ doesn't trip and mess up his knee on the ring entrance. Ricky the ref does the officiating! Already the CLB chants start, and apparently these guys were the posse he ran around with. Doug has a hockey stick with him. NWQ has new music and a new tron, without the NWQ logo. He's wearing an RWJ shirt. They are trading slaps, whip Doug, clothesline missed, spear into the knees by Quinten. Legdrop NWQ, LOW BLOW Fraze! People can't see around the boxes. Doug with a whip, boot to the face. Doug goes after a box, the one with the green bow, and there's someone in there! It's Shane Matthews! Shane slams Doug into the stairs. Toss in, NWQ pickup, Shane slugs away on Doug in the gut, Fraze gets tied up in the ropes. NWQ drop kicks Doug in the chest. He slaps him around, Ricky frees Doug. Shane wants to do something, NWQ and Shane double suplex. Shane's directing traffic, double whip double hip toss. Quinten's chokes Doug with the rip-away pants while Shane distracts the ref. "Ref sucks!" "Aw give him a chance!" Double whip, double clothesline by Doug on both men. He slugs away at them both, bashing them in the back of the head. Shane bumps into Doug, whip bodyslam. Fraze goes out after another box, looks at the one with the red bow, says to the crowd to be quiet, gets a running start and bashes whoever was in there. It's JJ Tank! Tank's angry and arguing with Fraze. NWQ and Shane are discussing something, Tank and Danger make peace and go to work on the heels. Shane slugs away on Tank, NWQ slugs away on Fraze in opposite corners. They both do the chops, Shane slaps harder, double whip, Tank and Fraze collide. Shane arm wringers Tank, gets a suplex. NWQ makes a wish and kicks him low. Tank is rammed in the corner, NWQ suplexes Doug, and chains three together. Shane works Tank in the corner. NWQ measures Tank but he nails him. Shane goes to work on Fraze. Tank chokes NWQ. Shane whip reverse head butt to the chest by Doug. Doug slugs Shane, Tank slugs NWQ. Shane fires back, pulls his shirt up, Tank dumps NWQ out. Shane chops away, Tank with a legdrop on the floor. Doug gets dumped out by Shane. Shane puts Tank in, NWQ puts Doug in. Shane fireman's carry into a slam on Tank! NWQ goes for a box, someone in a hooded sweatshirt pops out of it. It's Dredd Walker! He's kicking away on Quinten! Choke on the apron, Shane is back in, Tank works him over. Dredd goes for the last box, oh he left alone! Foolish move! Dredd wants to beat on somebody, Tank bumps into Dredd, Tank whip reversed spinebuster by Dredd! NWQ goes for the pedigree on Danger Doug! Shane helps Quinten up then gets a shot in from behind before Dredd nails NWQ, Tank gets dumped outside, Dredd chops Shane, chokehold. Tank gets back in the ring, NWQ got Shane into a powerslam. Dredd dumps Tank out again. Doug dumps Shane outside, Dredd dumps Quinten outside and he gets tripped up. Dredd looks like he got caught in the face from it. Fraze orders Dredd out of the ring. Here comes Mississippi Madman Don Jackson from the back! Dredd gets out of the ring, Jackson is right behind Fraze. Fraze turns around, then there's a slugout in the ring, Fraze clothesline has no effect, LOW BLOW! Doug tries for a powerbomb, but gets inverted atomic dropped, then splashed. Dredd attacks Tank, Shane and NWQ. Jackson splashes Doug again. NWQ and Tank are back in. Double chokeslam by Jackson on Shane, Dredd nails NWQ, Dredd chokes Tank, he feeds Tank to Jackson for another Baldo bomb! Jackson says it's his house. NWQ meets Don Jackson, then grooms his hair before getting Baldo Bombed. Dredd walks around proud of himself, then wants to shake Jackson's hand. Jackson refuses, then chokes Dredd. PHD runs to the ring to tell Jackson to stop, he talks to him about his rage while Dredd goes over to the last box and gets the check. PHD calls Jackson a sucker. I don't think Jackson would had been eligible for the check anyway since he wasn't a signed participant. A fun little match to open things.

WINNER: Dredd Walker -> (13-7-1) 17:40 mins. **½

Something else I noticed on the way in, a dumpster made of cardboard and a doorway made of small boxes with a "Kincaid Pop. 66" sign on it. Oh geez. They can't get that doorway to stand up in the corner. Oh here comes RON. He mocks the celebration of Christmas and tells us we're gonna hear a true story. The sound from this boombox is louder than the mike. Some incoherent nonsense blasts over the sound system about some woman giving birth at a local church under watch from a welfare doctor. Let's see if I can transcribe it. "It was a cold December 25th night. Soon to be parent Terry was looking for a place to have her child. She was a poor and religious girl. She was on her way to the nearest welfare doctor when her water broke in the small town of Kincaid, IL. She knew it was time her miracle was about to join this earth. She went to the local church of the Nazarene asking she could give birth there." I tried to transcribe this crap, but the author of this skit send out the transcript of this garbage complaining I "never get the story right". And by the way, *BARF*. Please listen to http://mudlist.betterbox.net/jingle.wav you'll get the same effect from this song as I got listening to this speech. The machine beeps and tells us "End of Side A, flip to Side B". Never use a 60-second audio cassette, use one that's 110 minutes like I do. Some more nonsense billows forth, Steven Bishop comes out playing the part of RON's mom, Jakob comes out from the back leading two men in white robes and black hoods. "The church leader asked her some questions. 'Where's your husband?' 'Not with me sir, I am not married.' 'You look too young to bear a child, how old are you?' 'Kind sir, I am only 14!' 'Who is the father of this child?' 'I'm not sure, but my daddy says this child a gift from God.'" I finally get the "Trust in God NOT RON" sign out, but the two hooded men see it and flash their faces at me. It's Eric Logan and El Diablo Silverado! The nonsense continues in the ring, where "you can never tell mommy about it ever! He told her to leave and not come back or mommy would get mad, and that the child will show her the way". "The church told her to leave at once, not having anywhere to go Terry to the local gas station, but the station was closed so she went to the dumpster and gave birth there." "I shall call you RON." Excuse me while I ram a hot poker up my arse, the pain from THAT is much less than the pain of watching this discombobulating skit. "The next day three wise DCFS agents came to visit. They gave food stamps, frank N beans, and a Meijer gift card." The hooded men yank the hoods off. RON protests saying it's his time, the cult attacks and gets clotheslined out. EDS and Logan pitch everything out of the ring, then go after RON attempting to disrobe him. HOLY CRAP!!! RON IS WEARING A DIAPER!!! AAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!! YIKES!!! Next month I'm gonna have to remember to bring a package of Hanes underwear and undershirts to mock him with. RON is mad and screams it's my time so they challenge them to a match. Hey put your belts up! RON wants a referee in there to ring the bell. I guess it's non-title then.

The NEW Cult of RON (6-1) Kincaid, IL - "Don't call me the Khaos Kidd no more" Steven Bishop (2-7) 5'7" 200lbs. & The Apostle Jakob (0-1) 5'11" 252lbs. w/ RON vs. Eric Logan (8-7) 5'10" 173lbs.

WINNERS: Eric Logan & El Diablo Silverado pin -> (1-1) 11 mins. ***

Logan and EDS put on the tag belts, RON is protesting that this wasn't a title defense, there was no contract, and we were supposed to have the month off. Devall comes out and says all the champs had the month off, but tells RON that he has to defend the belts against EDS & Logan next month. RON ain't happy.

El Pollo Loco (0-3-0-1) 5'9" 140lbs. Hatchling, AL vs. Tricky Dick Moore (0-0) 5'10" 180lbs. Beaverdale, PA - This is Moore's singles debut. I quickly whip up a KFC sign to tease EPL with, alas the crowd would not take to a KFC chant. Maybe I should bring a KFC bucket next time. Loco came out wearing reindeer antlers and put them on Ricky the ref. Tricky Dick comes out to Run DMC's "It's Tricky" and gives a kid his hat.

WINNER: "Rather Charming" Bradley Stephens pin -> (6-3) 7:20 mins. **

Jimmy introduces the next match, but Stan Sallinger comes out instead. Stan says something about being a movie star, but I can't hear anything he's saying. He makes mention that the match he's got tonight is like Russell Crowe vs. Eminem. But he says there's no NMW Eminem, we've got an NMW Vanilla Ice. He says he can't fight a match cause he knows Cash will mess up his face and it would ruin his movie with Earl Grissom. Cash comes out with a blowhorn and gives away his chain to a kid. Cash puts on Stan's jacket, the sunglasses don't fit. Cash then wipes his butt with the jacket. Cash then starts playing tunes from that blowhorn, Jingle Bells. Cash asks Stan he doesn't want to wrestle? He asks the crowd if he shouldn't wrestle. Stan wants to put Earl Grissom against Cash. Scotty says he'll sing some Christmas carols for Stan instead, what's your favorite song Stan? Oh, Holy Night. Cash says we're singing Deck the Halls.

"Deck the Halls with Scotty's bling, Fa la la la la La, la la la.
I'll kick your arse in this ring, Fa la la la la La, la la la.
You don't even have a chance, Fa la la la la La, la la la.
There's no way I'll lose this match, Fa la la la la La, la la la."

Stan says there is no way he'll lose this match cause the match won't happen. So Scotty says I'll sing you another one, what was your favorite song "Oh Holy Night", we'll sing Jingle Bells. He's gotta get a beat going, and the fans start clapping.

"Dancing thru the buffet, with a plate fork in his boob.
Oh my gawd you're fat, ate up all the food!
If you continue to eat, they'll probably throw you out.
Where you'll never win, crying like a lout.
Stan is fat, Stan is fat, man he likes to eat!
If you think that ... [what'd he say?]
Stan is fat, Stan is fat, man he likes to eat!
The only person bigger than your BWO is your own meat!"

Not sure what that fourth line was, that was a guess. Stan has an idea, there's no way he'll wrestle him tonight, and wants to substitute in Earl Grissom. Scotty doesn't want to wrestle Earl, but will sing another song, Silent Night.

"Stan is gay, Stan is gay, little white, little white."

Cash wants to know if he should keep singing. Stan says fine, how about a match, with him, Earl, Cash and a partner of his choosing that isn't booked. Stan says everyone in the back is booked, Cash says he's got a partner and gives him a clue. He pulls his shirt off and tosses it into the crowd and has a Hot Boyz shirt on underneath.

Drive Thru (debut) - Red (0-0) 5'9" 197lbs. Decatur, IL & Coop (0-0) 5'11" 304lbs. Decatur, IL w/ Peter McDonald Sanders vs. The NEW Sigma Omega Beta (0-1) - "Toga" Steve Fisher (3-4) 5'10" 240lbs. Carbondale, IL & "The Freshman" Matt Boston (0-1) 5'8" 120lbs. Carbondale, IL - Well the running joke is that Sanders' initials spell PMS. Sanders spends quite a bit of time chewing people out all over the ring, except for one man made it clear he's a fan. Course now I have to whip up a PMS sign cause he won't stop throwing insults. "Rock and Roll McDonalds" is the theme music? I had wondered where this guy came from, cause he was supposedly a spectator in the crowd. I was informed that he was a ticket taker, minus the moustache. The frat boys come out and I have the Salukis Rule sign up. Matt and Red start. Red with a couple of slams. Drop toe hold by Boston, armbar. Tag Coop. Boston trips Coop, tags Toga. Lockup, clean break. Lockup shove to the corner by Toga. Slugfest, whip by Toga to the corner.

WINNERS: The NEW Sigma Omega Beta pin -> (1-1) 10:30 mins. **

Jimmy "The Bruiser" goes through the sponsors for advance tickets, and flubs the name of Sgt. PECKERS Cafe and everyone laughs at him. Ricky the ref who's cleaning the canvas of ketchup and mustard even stops to laugh at him. Sgt. PEPPERS Cafe is the correct name.

Overthrown President "Mr. Hollywood" Stan Sallinger (1-4) 6'3" 260lbs. Hollywood Hills, CA & "The Cruiserweight Redneck" Earl Grissom (7-8-0-1) 5'10" 170lbs. Rushville, IL (0-1) vs. Hot Boyz (debut) - Scotty Cash (6-7) 5'9" 170lbs. & Benz (0-0) 6'3" 230lbs. "Yo Mamma's House" - I've whipped out a sign that says "Movie Star" with arrows pointing to myself and the box to Legally Blonde 2. Stan asks for the sign and holds it over himself. Earl looks less than thrilled. Cash wants Stan to start the match but he'll have none of it. So Earl starts instead, Cash decides to tag Benz to start instead, and Stan comes in. Some shoving around, shoulderblock Benz, shoulderblock Stan, clothesline Benz slam. Tag Cash, Stan dashes away to tag Earl. Sheesh, what's with Stan tonight? Cash doesn't want to fight Earl either. Tag Benz, clothesline, whip side slam, press slam Benz gets two. Whip clothesline misses, heel kick by Earl, leg split drop. Tag Stan, double whip double hip toss, Stan with an elbowdrop gets two. Turnbuckle smash, slam Stan. Tag Grissom, whip double clothesline. Earl works on the leg of Benz, and hits a LOW BLOW. Tag Stan, he slaps Cash, chokes Benz, kicks away. Whip spinebuster by Stan gets two. Whip tag Cash, tag Earl. Stan runs off, hip toss Cash, side suplex Cash, Earl misses a move, Cash with a splash. Scotty looks at Stan not paying attention and hits a suicide dive. Cash and Benz slug away, clothesline Cash on Stan gets two. Tag Benz, whip inverted DDT against Benz's side (does that move have a name?). Stan flees again, tosses Earl in. Cash with a fireman's carry into a face buster. Double elbow drop by the Hot Boyz wins it.

WINNERS: The Hot Boyz pin -> (1-0) 8:50 mins. **¾

The Hot Boyz actually help Earl up and he shakes their hands. Earl rips up the "Movie Star" sign I made that was lying around ringside. Toga apparently left his paddle behind. Jimmy gets in the ring to introduce the next match, and the music for Michael Shard starts playing. Huh?? I look behind me and see Shard took off, but out comes Guy Smith. Guy wants to give us a history lessons, two years ago when the promotion started he went after the toughest guy around Tom Arson and beat the man down for the count. The next show he won the heavyweight title, he broke Rip Mystic's back and he hasn't been back since. And he's responsible for getting rid of Michael Shard, who's not unbeatable. Smith is a superstar everywhere he goes, and says Jason Wells is an inferior opponent who's done nothing so he's going home and not gonna wrestle. Uh, two time tag champ is nothing??? Nice way to bury the tag titles. Wells' music hits and he attacks Smith in the entryway.

"NMW Alpha Male, MPW Heavy Hitter, Fans All Female" Guy Smith (14-7) 6'0" 255lbs. Rapid City, SD vs. Jason Wells (4-5) 6'0" 230lbs. Kansas City, MO - Whip dropkick Wells, Smith bails. Smith does get back in, slugfest in the ring, whip reverse, powerslam Wells gets two. Suplex Wells, he slugs away on Smith in the corner, whip Wells eats a boot. Sunset flip by Smith gets two. Wells slugs away in the corner, whip Wells eats a boot to the face. Michael Shard has finally emerged in the entryway of the building. Smith goes outside kicking Wells who ended up outside somehow. Side suplex by Smith gets two. Sleeper hold by Smith. Surprised Shard isn't out here to mock Smith a bit. Wells gets his arm up at two, stands up, elbows out, clothesline Smith missed, shoulderblock Wells. Smith clothesline misses, spinebuster Wells! Wells slugs away on Smith, whip hip toss gets two. Wells picks him up on his shoulders but can't hold him, sunset flip Guy with two handsfull of pants and gets the pin to steal it.

WINNER: "Alpha Male" Guy Smith pin -> (15-7) 5:25 mins. *

Match was the biggest letdown of the night, too short for this calibur of a matchup on paper. Now claims were flying around that Wells was battling the flu or something during this match. If that was the case, why not put in a substitute, like for instance New World Quinten? I wouldn't make a sick man wrestle for the benefit of their own health, the health of the opponent, and the fans around the ring. You know that nasty flu bug going around that's been heavily hyped by the press? I wouldn't want someone getting that for Christmas. Anyway, let's go to the main event.

"Trendsetter" Tom Arson (6-8) 6'5" 260lbs. St. Louis, MO vs. Sage Ramsey (5-5) 6'4" 268lbs. Peoria, IL - Arson's wearing that bathrobe signing autographs, and we have an anti-Arson section and a pro-Arson section on opposite sides of the ring. Rip Mystic is out here passing around autographs. Jason Devall has come out now, giving Jimmy some info. Santa will be here after this match! Sage Ramsey three weeks ago suffered a big gash on the back of head and a concussion from a handcuff shot, I'm worried how he's gonna hold up during this match. Someone has a sign that says "Sage Stole My Seat Covers!" Lockup, Ramsey to the corner, clean break. Arson and Ramsey have pose off in opposite corners. Lockup, shoves Ramsey in the corner, another clean break. Another pose off, Ramsey's getting the cheers. Arson with a takedown and messes up Sage's hair. Lockup, armdrag Arson and goes back to posing. Go behind tradeoffs, drop toe hold Arson. Sage takes the first blow to the face. I'm having to wonder if the concussion after effects will get him in real trouble. Sage with a takedown, armdrag, throws him face first to the mat, bodyslam. Sage whip hip toss, clothesline out of the ring. "Nice haircut!" Arson stalls, Sage goes after him, Arson off the ropes, clothesline misses, powerslam by Sage. Sage slugs away, throws a headbutt and that was not a wise move. Sage is now dazed, I asked him why he did that and he said he wasn't thinking. Sage whip and eats a boot to the head, clothesline Arson. And a couple fans are taking pictures with their camera phones! BTW, I actually left the camera at home cause I've given up on pictures where I'm always getting crappy results. Kneedrop to the head by Arson. I was thinking Sage should had taken the month off, Arson with a headbutt! Man I hope he doesn't get a second concussion. Arson elbow, another one, axe to the head off the ropes. Arson pickup, choke in the corner, pictures are being snapped, Arson punches Sage in the head, another headbutt! Arson hits a suplex and gets two. Chokehold, sound system just blew up.

Arson punches at the head again, knife edge chop, two, Sage turns it around and give him a couple, clothesline. Ramsey's still hurting, goes for the chokeslam, gets kicked, clothesline by Arson missed, Sage hits a chokeslam near the ropes getting two. Sage waits on Arson, goes for the Final Fall and hits it! Ramsey's too woozy and rolls away from Arson, he finally gets back on him and only gets two! Sage whip splash in the corner missed, he ALMOST bumps his head on the post, Arson rolls him up and puts his feet on the ropes and pins him! Arrgh!

WINNER: Tom Arson pin -> (7-8) 13:50 mins. ***½

Arson makes the motions that he's gonna win the title. Sage is slow to get up, I'm glad he missed the post else he'd be messed up worse. Lucious P. Claus is coming out in Santa suit, with Jason Devall as an elf. LPC is singing the lyrics as Lucious Claus is coming to town. It's a trash bag with a bunch of stuff in it, the bag rips apart it's so heavy. LPC has the mike. He welcomes us to a very lucious Christmas. He lists the stuff they've got to give away, and calls Bruiser over with the box of tickets. He says if I draw your ticket you win the prize. Music hits, it's Grinch music! And who's this? It's Morgan Security! Tank, Kev G, Cherry Malone, and Billy "The Grinch" Morgan. Morgan says something, but we can't hear him at all, he's a low talker. Morgan blasts LPC with a low blow, and beats him down with a knee slam, kicks LPC's bad leg, and puts on a half crab! Now he puts on the figure four, having trouble locking it in, but no, it's the trailer park hitch instead! RWJ hits the ring, BIG spinebuster on Tank! KICK WHAM PEDIGREE on KEV G! Morgan is cornered, begging for mercy, RWJ slugs away, Irish whip, BIG spinebuster on the Grinch! Morgan is outside and slaps Cherry Malone, she kicks him in the balls and slaps him! Tank and Kev kick the Grinch's sleigh on the way out. RWJ checks on LPC, then someone else's music hits! It's Quinten! He's got something in a bag. Quinten wants to make up for being a bad brother the past several months and hands him something. It's a Real World Jeremy action figure! He says where the goatee, I say you just grew one. RWJ says he doesn't want to steal the spotlight and wants to put the spotlight back to the giveaway. LPC asks NWQ if he'll be Santa's Little Helper. The first winner is, Turd Fergusson! Oh cute. They find the winner, a little kid gets a radio/game pen. Scotty Cash's name is pulled out of the box next, RWJ says he's not eligible and asks him to come out and draw. RWJ says Cash's ticket was not even the same color as the others. Cash pulls out the next one and gives something away. Rip Mystic is called to the ring to draw. Mystic gives something away that he could never figure out, a model car. Cash tries to claim it, smirk. Mystic music fires up and he's gotta pose for the crowd! RWJ asks who should be the next one to draw, Smith? Crowd says no, then RWJ spots Michael Shard and asks him to come in and draw. His music is played, he hands off the antlers. Shard tells Guy Smith that's HIS music, not his. He gives away a lava lamp, then asks for his music again. LPC asks who's next, someone wants Mississippi Madman to give one away, LPC says Madman will eat the box. NWQ draws one to give away a boom box. Shard's got a ticket pasted to his head! RWJ asks who's next, the crowd wants Tricky Dick! He gives away a clock radio and game pen. Who's next? Toga Steve's out to give away a Lion King DVD. Next up, Tom Arson! LPC says he's been a very bad boy. Arson's got the Grinch mask, then gives out his phone number instead of the ticket number. He gives out the number, and a kid gets a skateboard! There's two items left, the crowd wants the Mississippi Madman! He comes out, everyone flees the ring, Jackson dumps the tickets all over the mat. He picks one up, and the kid comes in without any hesitation to collect his prize. Last prize, it's the Gamecube! And the fans vote for Eric Logan & El Diablo Silverado to draw it. And the prize goes to a wrestler's family! They all say good night, and we're out.

It will be a long six weeks until the next show, and the matches set up for New Years Resolution II are:

Cent. IL Champ Billy Morgan vs. LPC
NMW Tag Champs The New Cult of RON vs. Eric Logan & El Diablo Silverado
NMW Heavyweight Champ Real World Jeremy vs. Tom Arson

Kind of a laid-back show this time but nothing horrible so it's thumbs leaning up.
