The Rap Sheet - from the Crimefighter
New Midwest Wrestling's New Years Resolution III
1/29/2K5 Springfield, IL
Let's get the New Year off to a good start...
This rap sheet is posted on http://www.newmidwest.com/forum
and the Usenet group news:rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info along with the archive The Rap Sheet Dossier at
http://rap-sheet.tripod.com
The views expressed by me are solely my own and absolutately do not
reflect the views of anyone else. Please do not harass anyone
else about me else I may present you with a pair of shiny handcuffs.
I haven't been in a rush to put this thing together, mainly cause I
used a videotape instead of take notes so I could pay more attention to
the show and not have to deal with writing. Well about a couple
days later some sort of flu/cold virus reeked havoc with most of the
roster including myself and I had no motivation to do anything but
recover. Course I got busy too at home when I wasn't sick.
Anyway here it is now, better late than never. There's been a
real dispute on the STYLE I use to write these, I prefer the
blow-by-blow style, others want no more than two or three sentences on
a match and don't care about the content--that is, the symbolism over
the substance. I prefer getting the substance, one of the
bedrocks of conservative thought, cause substance is what you have to
show for anything, there's nothing to show for symbolism. Thus
I'll go for the substance every time.
Today started off with a snowstorm, it was snowing all over town
starting early in the morning and it came down at a steady clip
amounting to about three inches when it stopped. We all get to
the gym early to load the ring up in the flatbed truck. Well
since it snowed, several take advantage and have a bit of a snowball
fight. My throwing ability is just crap, Brent the Ref is quite
dangerous with the snowballs aiming for the head, Cherry Malone
practically put my eye out stuffing a handful of snow in my face, never
saw it coming, boy did it hurt. Darn her. The guests from
Chicago arrived about noon to put on a tag division clinic, and with
the tag division as depleted as it is was sorely needed. Other
guests from up north came in, and good stories were swapped about La
Salle/Peru, which seems to be a wrestling hot spot being the midway
point between the Quad, Chi-Town, Rockford and
Bloomington/Normal. During the entire show I get harassed by a
group of guys a row behind me that continually shout at me to ring the
bell. And these guys would NEVER shut up, even after hitting them
back with insults. It was so bad I was really considering
throwing the bell AT them to shut them up. They are NOT welcome
to sit near me in February. Ugh, they're worse than the former
PWO, but even the former PWO get their shots in tonight.
Live from the American Center. Your ring announcer is Jimmy "The Bruiser" Osbourne.
Jason Devall is paid a visit by Guy Smith, Devall says this travesity
called war will come to an end. Guy Smith lists all the things
they tried to do to him and 4GQ and nothing happened. Devall
guarntees their hands don't get raised. Video package plays
covering the set up for tonight's 10-man survivor series match.
"The Freshman" Matt Boston (5-7-0-1) 132lbs. Carbondale, IL vs. Prime
Time Playa (1-1) 190lbs. Reno, NV - PTP takes forever moving around the
ring to get in it. PTP wants to test the strength but Matt stomps
the foot, sunset flip attempt and Boston pulls down PTP's pants!
Jock strap, briefs...Boston with a flying headscissors off the ring
apron. PTP takes control however with a side slam. PTP with
a norther lights for two. PTP with a whip to the corner but eats
a boot, Boston hits the tornado DDT for two. PTP rams Boston in
the corner, but doesn't stay on him, misses the charge, PTP has his
legs really spread out and Boston with the baseball slide to the
crotch. PTP puts him in the tree of woe, he tries to baseball
slide into his face but slides into the post. Boston shoves him
with his feet crotching PTP into the post. Ouch. Boston
with another tornado DDT. The crowd taunts him with "Greg Brady"
chants, yeah I can see the resemblance. PTP gets the upper hand
though and it's KICK WHAM FAMEASSER for the win. Good opener to
further establish PTP's future.
WINNER: Prime Time Playa pin -> (2-1) 7:55 mins. **¾
Something's going on at ringside as some guy in a red suit pays off
security to have a couple people removed from a couple seats so he can
have them. Others see this and start chewing him out.
Considering how many people complained about the Guy Smith Fan Club
reserving a whole section of seats at November Reign this is just
inviting a new round of gripes.
Rian Cruz comes to the ring to bash Spencer Powers for damaging her
ribs after pinning him last month. 4GQ comes out to talk her
down, then Spencer Powers sneaks in through the side door and enters
the ring to grab and chainshot her in the gut. Sheesh, she had to
have lost her hearing. Jason Devall and Eric Logan come out to
balk and 4GQ tosses her to the floor. Jerks, all of them.
Justin MacIntyre (1-4-0-1) 220lbs. Barrie, ON, Canada w/ Stephani King
vs. "Wrangler" Eric Ruffington (0-1) 215lbs. Converse, TX - The Mack
attacks Ruffington in the aisle and rams him into the post. Ruff
slingshots Mack into the post though, ram into the apron, but Mack hits
a DDT on the floor and puts him in. Bell rings, Mack gets
two. Mack hits the clothesline, and starts taking bows.
Mack works him in the corner, hard chops, but Ruff hits a clothesline,
snap suplex for two. Ruff drives that knee in, Mack does the
three stooges wave and poke, haha. Mack attacks the knee and puts
a figure four around the ring post! Mack takes off his belt and
whips him in the face! That's not legal!!! Mack scissors
that knee, Ruff fights out and hits a DDT off the ropes. The
rally is brief as Mack goes for the figure four, aborts it, then puts
on the half crab. Mack lets it go for some reason just prance
around the ring like an idiot, allowing Ruff to try a Samoan Drop but
his legs buckle and Justin gets the STF. Ruff can't get the rope
and taps.
WINNER: "Soon To Be" Justin MacIntyre submission -> (2-4-0-1) 6:50 mins. **½
MacIntyre steals my ring bell and says to the commentary team "DVD
exclusive, that Crimefighter cannot get, its for you boys, it's for
every single one of you in the crowd, this is only the beginning of the
end of New Midwest Wrestling." Beginning of the end??? He's
gonna be mad that I found out what he said so quick. I promptly
retrieve the ring bell and say MacIntyre is a royal pain in the
butt! Match served its purpose, get MacIntyre a sorely needed
dominant win that he actually earned, let him display his full blown
rage toward someone and not get his butt handed back to him in the
process.
LPC is about to eat a sub sandwich when Madman comes up and steals it,
then clobbers LPC down for supposedly talking bad about his mom.
Toga Steve (8-8-1) 240lbs Carbondale, IL vs. Billy Morgan (12-11)
172lbs. Decatur, IL w/ PHD - Ricky the ref doesn't have his glasses on,
and the commentators wish Garret Ryan was still around to take out the
fat flannel guy in Morgan's corner. Oh cute. Toga has been
tolling with being a main eventer after getting the Arson rub but keeps
getting screwed over by cheaters. Toga pounds away in the corner,
PHD claims he was the best manager Toga ever had. Well that's
debatable. Morgan's wimpy chops have no effect and Toga shows him
how its done before backdropping and clotheslining him outside.
Morgan's chest is bright red, suplex gets two. Toga does the whip
but Billy hurls him over the top rope, Toga hits his head against the
apron before hitting the floor. Ref checks him, Morgan attacks
him on the floor about a minute later. Morgan even hits him with
the frat paddle! Morgan kick DDT gets two. Morgan with the
swinging neckbreaker gets two. PHD chokes with the cane,
fisherman's suplex gets two. Morgan misses a move and Toga tries
the rolling germans but grabs his neck after two. Well he's gonna
need a neckbrace soon. Toga with the belly to belly suplex, PHD
grabs Toga's leg, Morgan with the superkick gets TWO! Toga
POWERBOMB, and PHD jumps on the apron. Darn him! Morgan
tries to do Sliced Bread #2 but Toga throws him off, Toga HAZING on
Morgan! PHD yanks Ricky out and bashes him on the apron!
Toga chases PHD, PHD trips, oh Toga's gonna go to town! Toga
stuffs his tie into PHD's mouth and puts him in the ring. Morgan
CANESHOT on Toga, Matt Boston comes out, tries a drop kick but eats a
superkick at the same time. Morgan dumps Boston, piledriver
powerbomb. PHD throws Ricky back in, he counts three???
WHERE THE **** IS THE DQ???
WINNER: Billy Morgan pin -> (13-11) 14:40 mins. **½
PHD screams Toga beat him up, Morgan caneshots him in the head, Boston
runs him off but Morgan steals the frat plank. Morgan also stole
his spot back in the heavyweight title chase, Toga continues to get
underrated with undeserved losses. Time for the frats to go for
the tag belts.
Guy Smith talks to Scotty Cash in the locker room, Smith points out
that Cash is still family and no one other than Smith should ever screw
Cash out of anything. Guy says Cash might have beat him if RWJ
didn't give him a pedigree. Cash wants to know what he knows, Guy
just wants to express his love. Ugh.
Brandon Blaze (debut) 215lbs. Chicago, IL vs. "Pocket Rocket" Eric Marx
(1-0) 160lbs. New Orleans, LA - Well my worst fears are confirmed, the
commentators did no research on the visitors from Chicago. Heck,
the photos I dug up all get used on the video wall, glad to be of
service. Blaze wrestles in Chicago and Milwaukee between Brew
City and Midwestern States Pro Wrestling. Eric Marx wrestles
mostly in the I-80 corridor. Blaze grabs Marx's ring robe and
rubs his butt with it. Well that's nice. They take turns
posing until Marx sticks his finger up Blaze's rear. Then the two
anuses at ringside make an offensive joke, to which I say Blaze should
be estatic that he doesn't have an Outbreak in his love machine.
JACK***!!! Marx gets the headlock, Blaze catches him in a
leapfrog and rams him in the corner, floatover suplex gets two.
Blaze with a side suplex gets two. Marx with the flying forearm
gets two. Brandon works him in the corner, clothesline, Blaze
with hard running knees into corner gets two! Blaze pulls off the
tape and chokes Marx with it, Welden decides to argue with the
fans. Blaze goes up, despite the ceiling but Marx slams him off
for two. Marx fires up, chops, Marx with the Edgucation for
two. Marx hits the atomic drop, Marx split-legged twisting senton
gets two! Blaze with the rake, does an inverted powerbomb for
two. Marx is up right away though and rolls him up for
three! Wow.
WINNER: "Pocket Rocket" Eric Marx pin -> (2-0) 10:50 mins. ***
Marx is quite a talent, hope he has the time to wrestle here more often
than once a year. Blaze takes a seat in the corner to pout and
even turns his back to the ref.
NMW Tag Team Championship
(c) Maximum Impact (3-5) 369lbs. combined - Hardcore KC (2-7) Kansas
City, MO & "The Marvel" Shane Matthews (2-4) Atlantic City, NJ vs.
The NEW XXXPlicit Content (debut) 420lbs combined, Electric Ave. -
Delicious Danny Scott & Mike Horning w/ Ami Zane - For those who've
had a chance to see the original XXXPlicit Content as *I* have, the
original team consisted of Danny Scott and Bailey Mannix, which Scott
comes to the ring wearing a shirt bearing Mannix's name. During
the summer, that team split up and went their seperate ways after
alliances and interests shifted around and they grew apart.
Ironically, Scott's new partner ain't on good terms with him either, as
he bloodied up Scott during the last MSPW show in lieu of an upcoming
title shot for the MSPW Hertiage Belt, which Danny Scott currently
holds. Your commentators are all ga-ga over Zane. Well the
champs have the mike, Shane talks first and says a year ago they set
out to make an impact and they finally done it, KC next, he says it's
no fluke they won the belts and they wanted the toughest competition to
show they can keep the belts. Danny Scott takes the mike and
tells everyone to shut up cause he has something to say to the inbred
hicks. Danny wants everyone to know who he is, he's held the
NWA-WI, MSPW, and BCW tag belts, all at the same time. He can't
wait to get outta town with the NMW belts cause the place stinks.
Shane says he's got some gall coming in running his mouth. KC
& Scott start the match, they get into a shoving match, Scott
actually shoves the ref, but gets shoved down by a former military guy
in the referee. KC throws him around a bit and they both tag
out. Throughout, fans come up with Horning Sucks, Danny Sucks,
and Chi-Town Sucks chants. Shane maintains a headlock, and hits a
legdrop on the back of the head. KC tags, double whip, double
Japanese arm drag gets two. KC suplex gets two. XXXplicit
Content take over working briefly, but KC tags, double dropkick Max
Impact. KC slingshot crossbody to the floor, Shane off the ropes
SUICIDE DIVE on Scott! Horning off the ropes, Max Impact dodge
and Scott takes the crossbody! Shane rams Horning to the post, KC
goes up, but gets caught in a Northern Lights suplex for two. XC
double team crossarm senton on KC, Horning whip and a drop kick gets
two. Tag Scott, he tries to chop KC but KC fires the chops and
hits a drop kick for two. Side suplex Danny, as a "Danny's Got
ManBoobs" chant rings out. Scott with a slam, tag Horning, double
team inverted death valley driver splash on KC gets two. Horning
with a Stinger splash, and dumps KC out for Zane to kick him.
Danny whips KC into the rail, Shane runs around the ring to knock him
away briefly. KC is put in, Horning slaps on the Boston
Crab. He lets it go though, KC gets a side kick and drop
kick. KC goes for a monkey flip but gets BOOTED, Horning goes up
despite the ceiling, KC goes up with him and side suplexes him
down. Everyone tags, Shane fires elbows, puts Horning in the tree
of woe, Scott gets whipped into Horning and they get in the gayest
position together possible. Hahaha. Shane kick on Scott,
Angle Slam gets two. Shane with a crossbody on Horning on the
ropes, Horning's is hanging with his hand caught in between the
ropes. OUCH!!! Danny Scott has KC...looks like the
fireman's carry sitout slam. Shane DDT's Horning on the
floor. KC suddenly gets a small package out of nowhere for the
pin! Zane being the sore loser throws waters at a number of
people at ringside, including myself. Solid tag team match that
Maximum Impact sorely needed to build their credibility up after losing
so often last year, kinda surprised Danny Scott & Horning worked
together so well despite the feud in MSPW.
WINNERS and STILL CHAMPS: Maximum Impact pin -> (4-5) 18:10 mins. ***½
Jason Devall comes into the locker room where Scotty Cash is sitting to
ask him why he's wearing a Guy Smith shirt. Cash claims he's
cold, it's just to keep him warm. Devall wonders if something
else is up, and says there's something more there than was in the
ring. He reminds Cash that Smith turned on him big time.
Cash teases going back to his family.
Central IL Championship
(c)Tricky Dick Moore (6-7-0-1) 170lbs. Beaverdale, PA w/ PM Sanders vs.
Danny McKay (debut) 165lbs. Beverly Hills, CA - PMS holds up my "We
want a Sanders speech!" sign. And gee, it's been a VERY long time
since we've heard PMS cut a promo in the ring. Wonder why?
They afraid of what he'll say on the mike? McKay takes and plays
around with the title belt. PMS takes the title belt over to a
fan who's wearing a PMS Fan Club T-Shirt. McKay chain wrestlers
Moore, Moore tries an inverted Russian leg sweep but McKay hits the
DDT. They trade hip tosses. They both go for drop kicks and
get air. Moore offers to shake but slaps McKay and side slams him

commentators repeatedly call Moore "Santa Pants". McKay hits a
springboard back elbow, goes up, second rope legdrop gets two.

tries for a DDT, but Moore with the northern lights gets two.
McKay grabs Moore off the back body drop attempt and powerbombs him for
two. McKay hops over a thrown knee for a two count rollup.
McKay hits the hard sunset flip for two. PMS on the apron again,
McKay jumps out to chase, tries to fake him out but Moore cuts him off,
RUDE AWAKENING MOORE WINS IT! McKay is holding his gut, he took a
hard shot, and he was still hurting after the show was over.
WINNER and STILL CHAMP: Tricky Dick Moore pin -> (7-7-0-1) 12:25 mins. ***¼
The guy in the red coat starts getting pelted with trash, and he storms
out of the building. Commentators gripe about Devall not giving a
fair shake to 4GQ. They introduce the teams, and Scotty
Cash...does not come out! Uh oh.

the ring is RWJ. Cherry Malone steals and rips in half the "Brown
Out" sign I had for Spotlight, I proceed to throw a paper wad at her in
response, she threatens to poke my OTHER eye out. Just where is
Witchy anyway? Madman scares everyone out of the ring, while Sage
just sulks in the corner desperate for more title shots. Shard
does some pushups to mock Guy Smith. Shard does a one hand push
up and Sallinger tries to do it but he's too heavy. Shard gets

some kid goes to fetch it, funny. Shard and LPC hit clotheslines,
LPC can't tag out, Sage tags in for the first time ever, shows
chokeslam...and LETS HIM GO! Sage gets out of the ring and walks
away, his mom is screaming at him to go back, I scream at him to listen
to his mother. He just stands there with either a surprised
expression on his face or just apathetic, he gets counted out, RWJ asks
him repeatedly why he just abandoned the match like this.
Sage Ramsey, you ARE the weakest link...goodbye! At 32:25 mins.
Meanwhile, LPC hits the STUNNER on Shard and pins him.

a heavyweight title shot for Madman.
WINNER and SOLE SURVIVOR: Mississippi Madman pin -> 38:45 mins. ****½

eliminations. Elite & LPC each eliminated one member of team

Madman, they lay the shirt in the ring to wipe their boots on it.

punk. Fans chant for a speech, RWJ says after a year of BS from
4GQ he declares them DEAD. He thanks Madman. RWJ says he
heard LPC talk about Madman's mom on the way out. Madman screams
at LPC that no one talks about his mom and lives. The music plays
and we're outie.
The Verdict: The crowd was hot and noisy throughout the entire
show, surpassing November Reign in that respect. As for the
wrestling, the average rating across the board for the entire night did
score a bit higher than November Reign, without using any special
stipulations. There wasn't a bad match at all during this show,
so a successful night it was for NMW. Get the DVD if you missed
this one. Next month, it's probably gonna be Guy Smith vs. MS
Madman, where Madman has been on a popularity streak that's only
increased the fans clamour for a title shot having pinned the champ.
Thumbs WAY up.
