This rap sheet is posted in http://www.newmidwest.com/forum, news:rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info a newsgroup that many wrestling organizations could utilize to spread info about their shows but don't, and the archive of all the ones I've written are stored in http://abermud.tripod.com/rapsheet.

Two months have passed between this show and the last show, but five members of the NMW roster competed in another fed's show a couple weeks prior. Two of those people are Real World Jeremy and Michael Shard, both suffered shoulder injuries at the end of the triple threat match for the NMW title. They each were paired with partners and competed in a tag team tournament, to see how well they could perform on their first match back from the DL. Both seemed to have fully recovered and were ready to go for the title again this evening, but alas, one week to go and Michael Shard had the bad luck of suffering another injury, AWAY from the ring, caused by an old lady, behind the wheel of a car traveling 45 mph, running a red light.

A roster retirement to pass along. "The Discount Gigolo" Kenneth Mills has put his wrestling career on hold due to the lack of time he has to put into training. He finishes at 1-1, his last match was against Dredd Walker of which he lost, and was supposed to wrestle El Diablo Silverado but went down with a knee injury a week before the show.

The last rap sheet I wrote, there were a number of people complaining that I rated the Tom Arson vs. Guy Smith multiple stips match too low. But in a poll asking which match was your favorite of the entire night, this match ranked dead last in the voting. So frankly, that shows me that I knew what I was talking about. Forgot a stopwatch, so times are rounded off to the nearest minute. Man for some reason when all these people retired at the state, my free time vanished as well having to pick up the slack for all these people that went away, thus the delay in writing this thing. Tonight's show was held in the Club 10 building of the USA Sports Center, aka the Shudo Khan Karate Club. Attendance for this show didn't seem as crowded as it was last month, though positioning the ring in the center of the gym instead of between the baskets made it feel less cramped. The ring crew had to rush putting the ring together when a basketball game in the same gym ran late, and well, they haven't mastered the construction of a ring yet.

Your ring announcer is Jimmy "The Bruiser" Osbourne.

[c]El Diablo Silverado (3-3) 5'8" 173lbs., Beardstown, IL vs. Britannico Fantastico (debut) 5'10" 168lbs., Liverpool, England -- A new wrestler debuts tonight, and he gets a title shot right off the bat? Britannico is dressed in a green mask with the UK flag on the side and wearing a shiny blue shirt. Trades of lockups and shoulderblocks, Japanese arm drag by Fantastico, Silverado does one right back. Fantastico hops off the ropes into an arm vice, then locks in a crucifix armbar (Code Red). Fantastico gets a two count on a rollup, Silverado rolls him up for two, then a tradeoff of multiple pinning combinations leads to a low blow by Fantastico. Fantastico does a backward suplex for a two count. A clothesline later, Fantastico picks Silverado up, hangs him belly-to-back upside down locking his arms around the legs, then hooks his legs around Silverado's shoulders then falls forward, flopping Silverado on his face and himself on top, a face-first piledriver, anyway this gets a two count. About this point, Fantastico shouts "SHUT UP!" in a very familiar voice, and gives himself away as Bing Westlake who's supposed to be in retirement! Irish whip into the ropes, Fantastico falls out, fight outside as Silverado throws Bing into the post. Back inside, Irish whip into a back body drop by Silverado. Silverado hops on Bing's shoulders and does a forward roll into a two count. Clothesline, hip toss Silverado. Bodyslam, flying head scissors gets a two count for Silverado. Bing tries a rollup for a two count. Silverado slams him for two. Irish whip into the corner, Bing hangs Silverado on his back, Silverado is trying to muscle him over for the sunset flip, snaps him over and gets the three count.

WINNER and STILL CHAMP: El Diablo Silverado pin -> (4-3) 8 mins. **½

Silverado raises his belt, but Bing waffles him in the back and sets him up for the Fameasser onto the belt but misses. Silverado grabs him and knocks him out with the Unprettier double-underhook DDT. People shout to Silverado to strip Bing of his mask but just walks off, until Stan Sallinger comes out wondering who booked this match. He tells Silverado to go back into the ring and yank the mask off of Fantastico, which he does, and Bing Westlake is hauled out of the building. Well it didn't take long at all for Bing Westlake to dishonor the loser leaves town stipulation, and he claimed he was only going to be at the show to run the sound system. Sallinger recognizes Silverado for his championship, then talks about the vacant title. He was going to do another triple-threat match tonight, but announces that Michael Shard was injured in an auto accident last week. Crowd not happy, but Sallinger pulls out a T-shirt to give away and tosses it to a group of kids in my section. One kid caught it and others were trying to steal it away from him, if they succeeded I would made them to give it back. Sallinger announces that for the vacant title tonight, it will be Rip Mystic vs. Real World Jeremy. FINALLY, the one-on-one match we were supposed to get so many months ago that the Honor Roll tag team stole away! Stan calls out ROB in a slip of the tongue, who PHD took it upon himself to award out in his absense, to come to the ring to relinquish the belt. Rip comes out to his old theme music "Just One of Those Days". Stan notes the lack of control over the past show, but its not your title right now. Fan shouts "Kick his head off!" Rip says, "Yeah, maybe I should! Normally Stan, you walk around with your head so far up your butt you wear it as a hat! However, this is New Years Resolution!" Fans act retarded in their reaction. Hey, why are so many people hating Stan all of a sudden? He got in the ring, wrestled in a great match and put Bing Westlake in retirement. Notes the three men and the fans were ripped off in November and gives back the belt. Music hits and guess who comes out, Tom Arson. "Bare with me, ladies and gentlemen, you forgive him for what he's done!" Gets all mad that the fans have just forgiven Rip for his behavior the past couple of months. Tom Arson states he's put his body on the line for the fans. Some applause. Points out the blood stains on the mat that's his. Gripes about Rip and all it took was an apology. Tells everyone to kiss his arse. Where's my respect. Rip gets in his face and screams bloody murder and wants to fight him right now! Now the heavy hitter himself, "Alpha Male" Guy Smith comes out. He says he was the only top-tier performer last month. Crowd starts shouting back at him. He says look at all this baby blue, they should just give him the title. Real World Jeremy now comes out. Let's get everything straight, Tom Arson, this may be all of your blood, Rip this is all your sweat, but I know all of these tears are Guy Smith's. Crybaby chant starts. RWJ says he beat Rip, Arson and can beat Smith. Make the match any way you want, but I'm going home with the title. Stan gripes to Arson that title shots are not being handed out like candy, they are earned. AMEN! Anyone look at Arson's win-loss record? Rip wants Arson in the match, so Stan says if the wrestlers are running the show he's gonna be in there as the referee. So much for the long promised Rip vs. RWJ match. It's a fatal four-way match for the title tonight!

Jimmy "The Bruiser" announces the next show is February 22nd, and if you buy your tickets tonight it's five bucks, but afterward the tickets are eight bucks in advance and ten bucks at the door.

"The Cruiserweight Redneck" Earl Grissom (1-4) 5'10" 170lbs., Rushville, IL vs. Eric Logan (1-3) 5'10" 170lbs. Palm Springs, FL -- A set of trading lockups, rolling on the mat, bouncing off the ropes, elbow, baseball slide, leap frog, Logan jumps over, Earl with a takedown, Logan trades armbars. Irish whip and a trip into the ropes from Logan setting Earl up for the 619 but misses. Earl hooks in the surfboard, then a punch to the neck. Earl dishes out some shots in the corner, rolls Logan for two. Earl attempts to use the spinning leg neckbreaker (Randy Orton's finisher) but Logan grabs the leg and puts on a leglock. Logan with a flapjack gets a two count. Bodyslam Logan, climbs to the top rope and does a moonsault but misses Earl as he rolls out. Billy Grissom comes out with a chair as the ref checks on Earl and whacks Logan in the back. Earl glares at Billy for what he did and climbs to the top rope and hits a top rope bulldog for the three count. Arrgh. Come on Billy, you know better than that.

WINNER: "The Cruiserweight Redneck" Earl Grissom pin -> (2-4) 8 mins. **

Billy for some reason wants to beat on Logan but Earl pulls him off and restrains him in the corner. Earl walks over to Logan to apologize and shake hands.

Doug comes to the ring after being introduced and takes the mike and gives himself a "superior" introduction and gives LPC a vastly inferior, soft, quick intro.

Lucious P. Coltrane (debut) 5'10" 230lbs. "Land of Lucious" vs. "Danger" Doug Frazier...err Fraze (debut) 6'6" 275lbs.Chicago, IL -- Frazier, errr...Fraze for some reason or another changed his last name, making it not flow off the tongue like it did previously. This is the first singles match both these men have had since NMW came into being. Lockup, Doug shoves LPC to the corner. LPC gets an armbar but is shoved to the corner. LPC with an Irish whip and a hiptoss, and Doug bails outside. LPC baseball slides into Fraze, fight outside as Fraze throws LPC into the post and slams his head on the apron.

Fight continues in the corner, Irish whip and a neckbreaker from LPC. Suplex by LPC gets a two count. LPC works on Doug's leg twisting it around. Doug makes the ref look away as he does another low blow and clotheslines him down for only a one count. Doug goes back to the leg, takes him down. Doug climbs to the top rope, LPC stands up, but Doug loses his balance and has to hop off into a punch from LPC. LPC hops on the 2nd rope but hurts himself foolishly trying a knee drop and misses completely. Doug tackles LPC's leg and locks in the figure four! LPC resists the pain and manages to turn it over but Doug reaches the ropes for the break. Both on their feet as they go for a slugfest. Irish whip, LPC with the Thesz Press and punches away at Doug's head. LPC does the Fisherman's suplex for two. Doug spears LPC for a two. Irish whip and a side slam from Doug, tries for a powerbomb, LPC blocks it, Doug clotheslines him down, goes for another Last Ride powerbomb attempt, gets him up but LPC punches his way out, KICK WHAM STUNNER and nearly botched the move, as Fraze takes it at an awkward angle, but it's enough to get a three count. Match just dragged on ever so slowly.

WINNER: Lucious P. Coltrane pin -> (1-0) 13 mins. *½

Now for the next mystery match, Sage Ramsey comes out and introduces his new tag team partner Jason Wells. Wells apologizes for his actions the past year and was blinded by a twinkie eating fat man and loves us all. And so it's time to see what the two big men as a team can do. PHD comes out as a Twinkie chant rings out at him. He says he made a champ of Shard and he walked out on him. That's fine, he thought he was a bigger man than PHD, but no one is bigger than PHD. Errr...physically speaking he has a point there. Smirk. He talks about what he came to do and eats hostess snacks. He screams at Sage & Wells for beating the crap out of him two months ago and leaving him for dead. "You deserved it!" chant rings out. PHD is back, and you still have to deal with him. He's been here a year and took his fair share of bumps and now it's your turn. He's brought in two guys to destroy the two of you, it's not about championships anymore, they are here to kill you. He introduces the handstand record holders at Southern Illinois University, Toga Steve and Garret Ryan. Ryan says if your fat, ugly, or a redneck, sit down and shut up. Tells the men we're not scared, we think you're a couple of vaginas, and runs through a litany of vaginas. Wants to get it on. Tells them quit trying to be like Toga Steve. Ryan won't shut up and talks about what jobs we supposedly hold to buy tickets. Shiny Overrated Bly-me! Ring the bell already!

Sage Ramsey (5-2) 6'4" 268lbs. Peoria, IL & Jason Wells (2-4) 6'0" 230lbs. Kansas City, MO (team debut) vs. Sigma Omega Beta (1-0) Carbondale, IL "Big Man on Campus" Garret Ryan (1-0) 6'2" 232lbs. & "Toga" Steve Fisher (1-2) 5'10" 240lbs. w/ Prof. Philip H.

Well that lowered my match rating. They continue to brawl until the frat boys run off.

NO WINNER: Double DQ -> 16 mins. ***

Wacko cult leader RON comes out with his man and wastes everyone's time by giving a sermon while Khaos Kidd is running around with a bowl taped to a stick with RON's photo in the plate seeking donations. He accepts cash or the plastic. Some people try to discard their trash or spit in it, but total amount of money actually donated comes to just six cents. The girls sitting behind me keep telling me that "RON is hot, doesn't he make you hot?" I reply back, "Yeah he makes me hot all right, hot under the collar!" He babbles a large amount of completely incoherent nonsense about his interaction with a priestess. Hearing it the second and third time on tape and I still can't comprehend his gobblidy-gook. Thankfully, this retarded speech is interrupted by Billy's music and RON complains that he's not done. Yes you are you idiot. "STOP THE CULT OF RON!" BTW, for someone who has acted all scared of me, he keeps wanting to bring me into his fold. Now THAT'S scary.

Don't call me "The Khaos Kidd" no more Steven Bishop (0-4) 5'7" 200lbs. Springfield, IL w/ Cult Leader RON vs. Billy "The Kid" Grissom (1-1) 5'10" 170lbs., Riverton, IL -- What's with these kids? Billy just decides to interfere in a match, and Khaos Kidd is still pretending to be a member of "Right To Censor". RON freely admits giving Khaos Kidd every loss he's ever had, and yet he's the most desirable person to have as a manager? Name change or not, I'm gonna have fun with the battle of the kids. Your referee as for most of the nights bouts is Tommy the Ref. Khaos Kidd arm twists Billy the Kid, reverses, neckbreaker from Billy the Kid. Kidd responds by beating down Billy, suplex from Bishop gets two. Irish whip to the ropes but Billy The Kid gets a sunset flip for two. Billy with a flying headscissors and a superkick gets a two count. Billy with a Russian Leg Sweep. Kidd gets back up and powerbombs Billy. Elbows to the back of Billy on the canvas. Khaos Kidd tries another powerbomb on The Kid but he grabs his head at the peak and face slams him down ala Kidman (heh heh heh ha!). Bodyslam Kidd gets two. Irish whip to the corner Billy yanks Kidd's head sending him down, then does a Tornado DDT. Wacko cult leader RON gets on the apron and picks a fight with Billy, Irish whip into the ropes as the ref is looking the wrong direction giving RON the chance to whack Billy with the loaded book. Khaos Kidd scoops him up sideways, spins him around as he side slams him down in what he calls "The 7th Day" and gets the three count. Oh geez, I knew the book would be in play again.

WINNER: Steven Bishop pin -> (1-4) 7 mins. **

Scotty Cash (5-1) 5'9" 170lbs. "Yo Mammas House" vs. Dredd Walker (3-3-1) 5'11" 210lbs. "Purgatory" -- Cash comes out to an entirely different song, why did management not like Cash coming out to "Lose Yourself" by Eminem??? This theme can be used by pretty much anybody, and is a natural theme for the shows American Idol and Star Search. But it fit him the best and better than all the other tunes he has used. Change it back, NOW. Cash argues with the crowd telling them to quit it and bashes Dredd Walker over the inferior competition he's beaten lately, those being Khaos Kidd and Leo Lagossi. See, even a heel like Scotty Cash has no problem saying RON's acolytes suck. Dredd may have been the first title holder of the company (before it was an incorporated company under the NMW name that is) but he's an has-been with 17 hip and knee replacements. After he beats the crap out of Dredd, he can look forward to social security. Slugfest and Cash bails. Headlock Cash, fight outside. Irish whip Cash bails out, back in, there's a trading of headlocks to the mat. Cash with an armbar, reversed, knee to the gut. Cash fights back, chokes Dredd on the ropes. Cash charges across the ring and does the rocking horse on him. Goes for a cover but only gets two, then tries to choke pin him. Suplex from Cash gets two. A bodyslam from Cash gets two. Sheesh, one move between pin covers doesn't work guys, I'm seeing too much of that lately. Another illegal choke hold uses as a pinning combination that the ref doesn't count. Irish whip and a clothesline from Cash gets two. Dredd fights back, but Cash sends him back down with a low blow. That only gets two so Cash powerslams him and it STILL only gets two. Irish whip Cash, reverse, clothesline Dredd. Dredd goes outside and does a missile dropkick but misses Cash. Scotty bails to the floor, but Dredd goes back up to the top rope and leaps off clotheslining Cash to the floor. Dredd tosses him back in but Cash does his third low blow in the match. You know I'd be wearing a groin guard if I was wrestling Cash from now on. Cash wraps Dredd's arms around his neck and chokes him with it. Slugfest, Irish whip Cash thrown to the corner, Dredd misses with the splash. Cash to the top rope, double axe handle to the back. He goes for another one, but it's blocked and Dredd gives Scotty the Bonazi Drop. Guy Smith runs out to attack Dredd, but misses and nearly crashes into Scotty. Dredd nails them both, knocking Smith outside and Dredd puts Scotty into the unofficially named finisher the Dreddnaught face first powerbomb for the three count. Over reliance on lackeys caught up with Cash.

WINNER: Dredd Walker pin -> (4-3-1) 13 mins. ***½

"MPW Heavy Hitter, NMW Alpha Male, Fans All Female" Guy Smith (5-3) vs. Rip Mystic (7-2) vs. Real World Jeremy (3-1-1) vs. "The Spectre" Tom Arson (1-4) -- Your referee is President Stan Sallinger. Four corners rules, wrestler can tag anyone he wishes. Smith and Rip start. I have no idea whether this was supposed to be a one fall match or elimination rules, turned out to be one fall alas.

Rip superkicks Arson and gets away from Guy to tag RWJ. Slams Arson and Smith. Does the ten punch count on Guy in the corner. Tag Rip. Another ten punches on Guy then seven chops.

All four men jump in to brawl RWJ in the ring, puts Guy Smith in a very high spinebuster. Rip and Arson knock each other out on the outside. Goes for a cover but there's no ref. RWJ yells for another referee to come out, Tommy the Ref runs out but Scotty Cash follows close behind and nails him in the back of the head. RWJ pedigrees Guy, Cash jumps in the break it up but nails Guy by mistake. Cash is thrown out, RWJ tries for a suplex, Cash grabs his legs under the bottom rope, Stan Sallinger crawls over to count while RWJ struggles in vain to get a shoulder up and Guy gets a three count. Arrgh! Tainted tainted tainted! Cash jumps in the ring celebrating like a maniac, RWJ and Rip back up and a brawl ensues, Guy Smith and Scotty Cash beat down RWJ using "Little Inspiration" and throw him out then they escape the chaos and run. Rip is knocked down by Arson, RWJ ends up outside screaming about being robbed and doesn't ever look back in the ring to see that Arson has a chair and jams it in the throat of Rip. Arson picks up Rip and performs a spike piledriver. Arson grabs the chair again and jams it into the side of the knee of Rip and Sallinger multiple times before leaving.

WINNER and NEW CHAMP: "The Alpha Male" Guy Smith pin -> (6-3) 18 mins. ***½

Surprising fact that Guy Smith and Tom Arson were never in the ring together facing each other. RWJ and Rip didn't have much action in the ring against each other. Instead this played out as a Rip & RWJ vs. Smith & Arson tag team match when the two "teams" had grudges against each other. Funny thing that no attempt was made to break up the teamwork that developed by putting the two members of one "team" against each other and brew dissention. Course the one true team had a member that wasn't supposed to be in the match! Wasn't crazy about tagging three guys with losses, too many more four corner matches and soon no one will have a winning record. *shrug* I did call the Arson heel turn a couple weeks ago following the MPW tag tournament he was in with Michael Shard as his partner when he didn't leave with the tag belts.

Next show is Final Reckoning on February 22nd and the matchups that are certain are (c)Guy Smith vs. Dredd Walker for the NMW Title, (c)El Diablo Silverado vs. Earl Grissom for the CI Title.
