-------------------------------------------

River City Wrestling presented a hardcore night of action called "Breaking All of the Rules" on Saturday, March 18, at the YWCA. Almost 300 fans were in attendance, and new record was set for RCW for advance ticket sales. It was a wild, unpredictable, and incredible night of action that proved why RCW is gaining in popularity and why the in-ring (and sometimes out of the ring action) is unparalled in San Antonio.

When the crowd was settling into their seats, "Mr. Beautiful" Rudy Russo & Aguila Negro attacked Ikaika from behind with a chair as the "Hawaiian Warrior" was signing autographs.

In the opening contest, "Mr. Beautiful" Rudy Russo w/ Aguila Negro pinned Roxy in an inter-gender match. After the match, Russo continued to attack Roxy until Martin Styles made the save.

The second match had Ikaika defeat Mr. Showtime w/ Aguila Negro and Rudy Russo in a Street Fight. Words cannot describe this incredible match. Both men were beaten and taken to the limit, with Showtime bleeding profusely after a shot with a trash can. Chairs and tables were also involved. Ikaika pinned Showtime outside the ring after a frog splash through the table, and Ikaika was awarded five minutes per pre-match stipulations with Aguila Negro. Ikaika destroyed Aguila, then hit a Burning Hammer from the top turnbuckle all the way to the outside on Rudy Russo who was laying on a table.

The third match was the Lumberjack Fan Strap Match where Quinten Allen defeated Spiro. 12 lucky fans served as lumberjack, complete with leather belts. In the end, Allen scored the pin.

The Nerdy Boys (Johnny Ender & Kris Kronie) defeated The Texas Treats (Don Juan & Chris Marval w/ Commissioner Yebisu) and The Natural Athletes ("One Man" Mike Dell & Hector Montoya w/ Ray The Voice) in a Ladder Match to retain the RCW Tag Team Championship. This match was a half-hour of brutality and incredible aerial feats. Again, words cannot describe how great this match was. In the end, Kronie ascended the eight-foot ladder and grabbed the belts that hung from the ceiling. After the match, The Texas Treats and Yebisu attacked the Nerds, and insulted the crowd. Kronie was injured due to the attack.

Fast Eddie Vegas defeated Masada in a Best Two Out of Three Falls Match. Vegas and Masada went 45 minutes. Eddie captured the first fall with regular rules, then Masada got the second duke during a Submissions Only Fall. The third fall -- Last Man Standing -- saw chairs and ladders decimated. One highlight included Vegas hitting a huracarana from the top rope to the floor and Masada crashing through six chairs. In the end, Vegas scored the win, thanks to his newfound friends, The Texas Treats.

In the main event, Hotstuff Hernandez retained the RCW Championship in a No Holds Barred Match over "Homeless" Hugh Rogue w/ his case worker, Steve Moody. After exchanging chairshots, both men used thumbtacks, staples, and more tables. In the end, Hotstuff missle dropkicked Rogue while Rogue was inside of a garbage can. After the match, The Texas Treats attacked Hernandez and Fast Eddie issued a challenge. Ikaika and Ender made the save.

Quick note about "Breaking All of the Rules"....

For those of you with a faint heart and used to RCW's family-entertainment, Breaking All of the Rules was once in awhile deal where all of the rules were laid to rest. All of the athletes of RCW proved their heart... determination... and toughness. For that, I thank each and everyone of them.

Beginning with the April 1 show, we will return to our family-entertainment format. We apologize if anyone was upset with the brutality of the event, and RCW's family-friendly events will return April 1.

Breaking All of the Rules will happen again someday for those of you who enjoy hardcore, but will be with fair warning to those who may be offended.
