NMW on a Friday...

It was decided that NMW would be doing a second show each month, on a Friday night at a reduced ticket price, and to build up the major show.  So tonight we have a minor setup as opposed to the full setup they usually do.  Also the lineup isn't as strong, with matchups that are kinda random.  Attendance was about 70-80 this evening.

Man vs. Woman
Tricky Dick Moore (9-10-0-1) 185lbs. Beaverdale, PA w/ Jackie Sazerak vs. Rian Cruz (2-2-0-1) 119lbs. Springfield, IL - When Rian Cruz had her first official ring action, it was against Tricky Dick Moore, at a time when he was managed by PM Sanders...who incidently was banned from ever holding a microphone in NMW ever again for the heel promo he cut against her.  Course, he's now one of the top heels across town in another fed, which kinda shows how much NMW lost when they dumped him.  Lockup, Rian is shoved to the corner.  Rian flips him around and hits some shoulders to the gut, monkey flip, drop kick.  Jackie jumps on the apron already, Tricky has her by the hair and side slams her for two.  Suplex Tricky gets two.  Choke on the rope by Tricky, and Jackie joins in.  Sheesh, that's no way to treat a lady!  Tricky with a side slam into a rock bottom for two.  Rian comes up with a flying headscissors, clothesline, step over DDT for two.  Rian throws the forearms, but Tricky pokes her, clothesline, elbows get two.  Neckbreaker attempt is blocked, stunner attempt is blocked, Tricky hits a spinning neckbreaker for three!  Girl power wasn't enough tonight.  Always hate it to see the lady get beat.

WINNER:  Tricky Dick Moore pin -> (10-10-0-1) 5:45 mins. *½

Hardcore KC 170lbs. Kansas City, MO vs. "Overachiever" Billy Morgan 170lbs. Riverton, IL w/ PHD - Only thing I'd ever vote PHD for is class clown.  This is an extention of the old Maximum Impact vs. Dean's List feud.  And look, Matt Boston and Twist are on the stage watching.  KC slaps Morgan, Morgan fires a knee, turnbuckle ram attempt blocked.  KC rams Morgan in all four corners.  Side kick KC gets two.  Slam, legdrop KC gets two.  Morgan side steps a charge, KC is rammed into the post, shoulderbreaker by Morgan gets two.  KC eats a boot, tornado DDT Morgan gets two.  Morgan with a wristlock, and spinebuster for two.  Morgan whip to the corner, KC dodges, foot is caught, KC clothesline in the corner, bulldog gets two.  KC goes up, Morgan trips him, hurraconranna attempt is blocked and KC has an ankle lock!  Sage Ramsey, Matt Boston, Twist on the apron!  KC knocks Sage off, Twist off and Boston throws powder in KC's face!  Ref ignores the powder cloud, rollup Morgan, one shoulder is way off the ground but the ref counts three anyway!  Bah, after a couple steps forward he takes more steps back cause of cheaters.  I think KC's lost more matches by people interfering than getting cleanly beat.

WINNER:  "Overachiever" Billy Morgan pin -> 8:10 mins. **¼

Boston and Twist kick KC and the ref just stands there not even attempt to break it up.  Boston stomps KC in the corner as Shane Matthews runs down to break it up.  About time!  Shane scolds Boston for cowardice.  And challenges Boston to a match on the spot.  Boston will accept only if the title is on the line.  Twist sneaks in and takes KC and Shane out with a clothesline.  MOAV says Twist sucks, as he brawls with KC up the aisle.

NMW Heavyweight Championship
(c)"The Marvel" Shane Matthews 215lbs Atlantic City, NJ vs. "The Man" Matt Boston 130lbs. Carbondale, IL w/ Twist - Well I didn't expect THIS match, Boston is no where in contention.  But heck, Boston had been feuding with KC for so long.  I'm surprised Shane is wrestling tonight, considering the nasty cut that required staples to close the last time he wrestled I thought he would take some time to recover.  But that's Shane for ya.  Boston pounds away, clothesline Shane.  Shane back body drop and the CHILD takes a powder.  And Twist comes back out, I would had thought KC had got rid of him.  How's your head Shane?  Ricky the ref comes out.  Shane throws Boston in, Shane gets tripped into the bottom turnbuckle and Boston kicks away.  Whip reverse Marvel hits the splash in the corner, slam, elbow gets two but the shoulder wasn't even down!  Sheesh, Nick the Ref is rather new but this is ridicious.  Shane with a powerslam gets two.  KO punch as MOAV wonders why Ricky's out here.  Shane eats a boot and gets clotheslined hard by Boston.  Boston side suplex and it only gets two.  Boston hops Shane in the corner, rollup gets two.  He tries a sleeper, Boston has a hand on that previous cut on the head, wonder if that's gonna open up again.  Shane tries something but Boston falls on him for two.  And Twist is up on the apron, trying to interfere and Shane knocks him off.  Boston manages a wheelbarrow bulldog for two.  Can't believe it.  Boston slugs away, Shane whip, pickup, tilt-a-while DDT by Boston gets two!  Dunno how much Shane has left, Acid Drop attempt by Boston is blocked, Boston in the tree of woe, Twist is interfering again in front of the ref, ref does nothing, Marvel BOOTS him off.  Angle slam off the top rope by Shane and pins him!  Nick needs more ref training.  Twist back in, Shane BOOTS his big rear outta HIS ring.

WINNER and STILL CHAMP:  "The Marvel" Shane Matthews pin -> 7:55 mins. **½

Time for a rare interview segment.  Stan Sallinger in the "Hollywood Square" with Stephani King.  Ain't the game show.  MOAV says don't react or they'll do another one on another show.  HAHA!  He admits losing to Doug Fraze then intros himself and the cameragal.  He then introduces Eric Logan as HIS guest.  Stan's thrilled E-Lo is his first guest.  We can't hear Logan talk.  He gets around to asking about LPC.  Logan says LPC is the most useless member of 4GQ.  Stan recalls the time when he was the tag partner with E-Lo and their big win over the original Sigma Omega Beta of Garret Ryan and Toga Steve.  They get into a Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck bit of who won the match with what move, spinebuster or neckbreaker.  MOAV says the crowd is now dead.  LPC sneaks in from the aisle, we're yelling at him and Logan acts deaf.  LPC clobbers him and tries to drop him face first on a chair.  Side slam and we see J-Mac watching from afar.  KICK WHAM STUNNER LPC and Stan with the swinging full nelson.  Stan and LPC pound away, J-Mac's still watching this from way far away.  Now he starts walking.  Logan ducks away from a blow, J-Mac in and goes after Sallinger.  He points at Stephani to get out.  Logan and J-Mac clothesline both 4GQ guys out.  And J-Mac wants the mike.  J-Mac says E-Lo can be a good boy or be bad against LPC.  He asks the crowd if he should be a good boy...NO...should he be a bad boy...HECK YEAH!  J-Mac on the 5th says he can either be a good boy or he can beat his arse.  

Tank Roberts (0-2) 250lbs. Fort Worth, TX vs. Benz (3-3-0-1) 250lbs. "Yo Mammas House" w/ Jackie Sazerak - Pretty random match here.  Tank Roberts is a mainstay of Scott County Wrestling.  Lockup, headlock Benz, shoot off, hip toss Tank and Benz bails out.  He comes back in and charges, but eats a Tank BOOT.  Slam, splash Tank gets two.  Suplex Tank gets two.  Poke from Benz, dumpout, Tank gets into an arguement with Jackie, Benz off the apron with a neckbreaker, he throws Tank into the post, and slams him on the apron.  Benz puts him in, slam and a one foot cover gets two.  Not smart.  Whip splash in the corner by Benz, second rope elbow gets two.  Side slam Benz gets two, backslide Tank gets two.  Edgecution Benz gets two.  Benz sets something up with Jackie, Irish whip, Jackie backturned trips....BENZ.  Whoops.  Thunder driver into a powerslam by Tank gets the pin and Jackie has a look of shock on his face.

Central IL Championship
(c)Michael Shard 165lbs. Santa Monica, CA vs. NMW Tag Champ/RCW Heavyweight Champ Sage Ramsey 250lbs. Peoria, IL w/ PHD & Billy Morgan - The last time these two squared off in a match was back at First Blood 2002.  And PHD was managing the other guy.  Concerning the tag titles, the belts are STILL idling at 100 days and counting.  What's up with THAT?  And I wonder why EZ Money hasn't been put in a tag title match yet.  Peek at the clock, it's only 8pm and it's main event time already?  Slugfest to start and Shard goes for the flatliner but Sage bails.  Back in the ring, whip to the corner, but Sage eats Shard's boot.  Drop kick from the second rope by Shard gets two.  Shard with a ten punch count in the corner, goes to the top, crossbody attempt is caught. Sage rams him in the corner, slam, splash gets two.  Sage with the gut buster, and Billy Morgan beats on Shard on the floor.  He throws him in, Sage gets two.  Clothesline Sage, snap mare, rear chinlock.  Shard up, escapes and charges but gets tossed outside.  Sage drops him on the rail, apron legdrop gets two.  They brawl, hurranconranna Shard, and locks in a crossface.  Sage rolls him for two.  Shard goes up, missile dropkick gets two.  A second one is met with a low blow, butterfly suplex gets two.  Shard hits a splash in the corner off the reversed whip, Sage is put on top, Shard is dropped off.  Sage wants to pin him but PHD wants Shard to TAP.  So, Sage locks in a bearhug.  Chokeslam attempt is blocked, wheelbarrow DDT by Shard.  Jawbreaker by Shard, Russian leg sweep gets two.  Full nelson by Sage, but Shard with the tornado flatliner and gets the pin outta nowhere!  Shard chases PHD to the back as Morgan checks on Sage.

WINNER and STILL CHAMP:  Michael Shard pin -> 15:30 mins. ***¼

The Uninvited - Rip Mystic & Tom Arson vs. 4GQ - Rev. Guy Smith & Spotlight Spencer Powers w/ Cherry Malone - Well I'm surprised Guy Smith and SSP are teaming at all considering the brawl they had two weeks ago in Brawltoberfest.  RON ain't here thankfully, but Cherry is carrying a squirt bottle that MOAV calls "holy water".  Rip & Guy start the match.  Rip takes him down and walks on him.  Heh.  Tag SSP, tag Arson.  Arson shoves him, whip splash in the corner.  Tag Rip, he throws him for a back body drop for two.  Dropkick Rip gets two.  SSP charges but eats a boot, clothesline Rip gets two.  Rip with a ten punch in the corner, slugs Guy but gets slugged back.  Oops.  Arson comes in but the ref puts him out as 4GQ makes an illegal switch.  Double clothesline gets two, Guy with his own clothesline and tags SSP.  SSP drops Rip on his head, but Rip grabs the groin muscle and slams him.  SSP stops that with a butterfly suplex for two.  Tag Guy, SSP with a choke, as Arson complains and the heels double team Mystic in the corner.  Tag SSP, slam, second rope legdrop gets two.  Rip comes to life with a choke and jumping enzuigiri.  Tag Arson but SSP beats him down and hits the clothesline, tag Guy.  Arson reverses the whip and clotheslines him down, slam gets two.  Arson clothesline misses, belly to belly slam Guy.  Tag SSP, crossbody attempt is blocked, Arson with the slam.  Tag Mystic and Smith.  Rip slugs away, whip to the corner, double knees!  Suplex Rip, chicken wing, but SSP breaks it up with a dropkick.  All four in, Arson goes to the floor and may have hit his head.  SSP with a flying clothesline on Mystic for two.  Smith stomps away, second rope, spinaround moonsault MISSED!  Amazingly no problems between SSP and Smith the whole match.  Arson in, slam, side slam, BOOTS on Smith and SSP!  Tag Mystic, cloverleaf and elbow double team gets two.  Arson with a kick, Liberty Spike piledriver on Smith!  SSP hits the Unprettier on Mystic!  Powers clothesline.  Mystic with an impaler DDT on SSP!  Smith drops Arson.  Powers and Arson are the legal men.  Mystic has Guy Smith on top, Blue Thunder from the top!  Arson and Rip with the Heart Attack double team!  Arson whips Smith, Mystic ram in the corner, forward slam.  Mystic and Arson on opposite corners, Mystic 450, Arson splash and it's a double pinfall!  

WINNERS:  The Uninvited pin -> (1-0) 18 mins. ****

Oh but the celebrating doesn't last long as the Hot Boyz hit the ring!  Scotty Cash and Benz pound away, Benz dumps Arson out.  Smith and SSP are fighting up the aisle!  Cash with a side slam on Mystic.  Opposite corners, double elbow on Mystic!  Arson back in, and the Hot Boyz take off.

The Verdict:  Nothing special with the matches tonight, the last two being the standouts and mainly build up for November Reign.  Being they aren't gonna make a video release of Brawloween, they should throw the last two matches in as DVD extras at some point.  Needed another match though.

Thumbs up.
