The Rap Sheet - from the Crimefighter
New Midwest Wrestling's Novemeber Reign III
11/20/2K4 Springfield, IL

Sitting in the front row is not all it's cracked up to be...

This rap sheet is archived at the Rap Sheet Dossier at http://rap-sheet.tripod.com and is also posted on news:rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info and whichever website you are currently reading this on. The rap sheet blog is at http://www.livejournal.com/~rap-sheet featuring whatever comments I have to make about something going on.

Some of these matches were viewed a second time a couple nights later with others to give their opinions on the fly. Irritating thing while typing this up is the power goes out and I have to retype a bunch of stuff. That due to the partial collapse of an Illinois State office building down the street caused by a heavy wet snowstorm. And some thoughts I put down can't be remembered. BLEH!

Roster updates: Danger Doug Fraze had to sit out Brawltoberfest due to illness, but is going to sit out even longer due to that shoulder injury from a few months ago that sidelined him in August and other unfortunate stuff outside of wrestling. I personally wish him and his family well during this tough time. "Rather Charming" Bradley Stephens for some reason or another decided he would wuss out, won't wrestle in Brawltoberfest and no-show but didn't tell anyone until he was contacted literally a couple hours before showtime--so he's outta here for good. Rip Mystic, who was sidelined a whole year due to a back injury, has reinjured his back during training and also had to sit out of Brawltoberfest. How long this will keep him out is anybody's guess. A speedy recovery wish goes to Rip from me. To the inactive list they go, and it jumples the contention list a bit.

Live from the American Center, a low-ceiling venue where moves off the top rope are impossible. Total attendance was said to be 300. Your ring announcer is Jimmy "The Bruiser" Osbourne. Your commentary team is Michael Raines & Dane MacLeod. Where's Tom Arson? He was here earlier. I'm serving as timekeeper.

Hair vs. Mask
El Diablo Silverado (16-9) 5'8" 170lbs. Beardstown, IL vs. "E-Lo" Eric Logan (10-9) 5'10" 173lbs. Palm Springs, FL - If EDS loses his mask comes off, if Logan loses he's gonna be bald. EDS has "Logan Sucks" in his own entrance video! Logan attacks before the bell, EDS with a slap, Logan with a punch and clothesline, flying forearm. EDS bails, Logan hops on the top rope and stupidly tries to suicide dive onto him but misses. EDS rams him on the apron, the post, then the stairs. Toss in, chokes away on the middle rope, he stomps away, stopping only cause of the El D sucks chant. Slingshot into the bottom rope EDS, whip to the corner, E-Lo hops over and rolls him up for two. They trade trips, crusifix rollup E-Lo gets two, small package gets two. Off the ropes and they try clotheslines but they smack their arms together hard...ouch. Logan goes down, EDS stays up. EDS whip spinning heel kick E-Lo gets two. Whip DOUBLE crossbody and both are down. EDS with a Juvy Drive, second rope legdrop. Silverado jumps out of the ring and fetches CLIPPERS! Hey you haven't won the match yet! He tries to trim the beard off, but they aren't working. Batteries are dead or something. EDS with a forward rolling samoan drop, handspring splash gets two. EDS whip corner, bulldog. EDS goes for Unprettier but E-Lo hits it instead! E-Lo with a knockout punch, but EDS gets the bonzai drop. Suplex EDS, northern lights, gut wrench, German suplex gets blocked. Logan with suplex, northern lights, gut wrench, and the German suplex to complete the QUAD aka Logan's Run. Fisherman's buster, then the victory roll by Logan gets the pin! Slow start, fast finish.

WINNER: "E-Lo" Eric Logan pin -> 13:30 mins. ***1/4

El Diablo Silverado did not want to remove his mask and tries to leave. He's stopped by Real World Jeremy and thrown back in the ring where Logan knocks him out with an enzuigiri and yanks the mask off. Yes it's that former referee of the warehouse era, but he's gonna be coming to the ring under a completely new name, which he used the next night in Decatur. I got an idea on mocking that spotlight hog, please bring your flashlights next month and shine them under your chins. Say it's your spotlight and not his. He throws a fit in the ring, well it's his fault. He could still have a tag belt on him and keep the mask but no...he had to hog the spotlight for himself and now everyone knows who he is.

Central IL Championship - Triple Threat
(c)Khaos Kidd (6-9) 220lbs. Springfield, IL vs. Tricky Dick Moore (5-7) Beaverdale, PA w/ PM Sanders vs. "He's Still" Justin MacIntyre (1-2-0-1) 220lbs. Barrie, ON, Canada w/ Stephani King - Kidd tonight is dressed as "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Unfortunately his knee is still quite tender. Mack grabs a sign that says "Justin's #1 Fan" and uses it as toliet paper. He gets the mike and complains about wrestling for his first title in front of the ugliest crowd ever and against two gimmicks and "soon to be" is not a gimmick. He says he is the birth of the future of the beginning of the future of wrestling. Wow, that's an oxymoron. Stephani wears the pants in the house of Mack. Mack & Moore with the double hip toss, double clothesline on Kidd. Tricky covers, Mack pulls him off and they argue. Tricky & Mack lock up, Tricky gets a standing armbar. Kidd clotheslines Tricky. Mack goes to work, chop on Tricky. Moore slugs away, axe to the back, Kidd chops Moore, throws him down by the chest hair. Clothesline over the top goes Mack, Moore charges Kidd and sails out.

Kidd is whipped into the corner and he flips and goes head first down to the mat. Ref has to check him. Slingshot Mack into a bulldog Moore on Kidd, Moore doesn't get much of the move, they both cover but get nothing. If there's a double pin we need a playoff. Justin with the Justification on Moore! Kidd tunes up the band and it's SWEET CHIN MUSIC on Mack! Mack rolls out, PMS up and grabs Kidd, Moore rolls him up for two. Moore with the RUDE AWAKENING on Mack! Kidd whip reverse Moore crossbody, Kidd falls onto Mack, Moore somehow puts the shoulders down and the ref counts a pin that looked like a TWO count in the ropes! What the heck? That looked messed up. A view from another angle did not show whether he did get a pin or not. This triple just didn't seem to click with me like other triples have, opinion from the panelists went higher than I did. Khaos Kidd has aggravated his bad knee again. After the match MacIntyre fights me for my sign and uses it as toliet paper, I wad it up and throw it at him but miss.

WINNER and NEW CHAMP: Tricky Dick Moore pin -> (6-7) 8 mins. *1/2

Suplex attempt is blocked, Cherry tries forearms to the back, but Rian pulls off a diamond cutter out of nowhere for the win. Match looked better the second time viewing it, the panelists went much higher than I did. But hey, it's better than WWE's sorry excuse for a women's division that's left after they fired everybody. Guy Smith carries Cherry out upside down, hey that's not the way to carry a woman.

WINNER: Rian Cruz pin -> (1-0) 7:30 mins. *

Sage Ramsey (15-12) 250lbs. Peoria, IL vs. Mississippi Madman Don Jackson (5-2-2) 370lbs. Olive Branch, MS - Oh boy, this crowd is split evenly on this one.

Prime Time Playa (debut) 190lbs. Reno, NV vs. "The Wrangler" Eric Ruffington (debut) 215lbs. Bonkers, TX - Someone quips that PTP is extremely white for supposedly being from the southwest desert region. Nah, he's just attending my college.

Well 4GQ head out to the ring, minus Witchy Watson who seems to have magically vanished again. Guy Smith checks on each member to see if they have a match and notes that it's a travestity that LPC doesn't have a match tonight. LPC says he's gonna sit in the middle of the ring under he gets respect from RWJ and an opponent. RWJ comes out, Guy Smith says if LPC doesn't get a match he's not defending his belt. RWJ says LPC has a point, but there's too many people in the ring and one at a time sends members of 4GQ to the back, leaving LPC and Cherry. RWJ says he's feeling good, since he doesn't agree with LPC saying he is the king of the Springfield street fight, he got the REAL king of the Springfield street fight, TOM ARSON! NO WAY!!! Didn't see that coming, at all.

I told them this show is going to 10:30pm, but they wanted the show to go no longer than two hours. Sheesh, anything less than 2½ hours is considered short in my view. Perhaps they needed to put in a cool-off segment in between the hardcore match and now. But anyway, excellent match.

Top Contenders for the Titles: Heavyweight Title. (c)Guy Smith (25-12). #1. El Diablo Silverado (16-10). #2. MS Madman (5-3-2). #3. Dredd Walker (12-8-1). #4. Sage Ramsey (16-12). #5. Eric Logan (13-10). Central IL Title. (c)Tricky Dick Moore (6-7-0-1). #1. Tom Arson (13-11). #2. LPC (11-10). #3. Billy Morgan (12-11). #4. New World Quentin (5-5). #5. Scotty Cash (12-13-1).

The Verdict: Well, I have six matches out of nine in this show at three stars or greater. When you have that many matches that good then you have a show of the year candidate. But ugh, I don't think I want to sit in the front row again with wrestlers nearly in the lap and ring barriers being thrown around.

Thumbs WAY up.
