On the card:

NWA-TNA's LAX comes to San Antonio to face three members of The International Power Station
Konnan, Homicide, and RCW's current Champion Hotstuff Hernandez unite in the "300-pound Tex-Mex T-Rex's" fight against three members of the International Power Station (aka The Texas Treats) -- Fast Eddie Vegas, Chris Marval, and Spiro, managed by Commissioner Yebisu.

Nowhere to Run
"The Smashing Machine" Ikaika vs. Don Juan of the IPS
On April 22, Don Juan scored a pinfall victory over his mentor Ikaika, but it took Ikaika going through a gauntlet of three other guys in order to do it. This time, Don Juan has to face Ikaika one-on-one.

RCW Tag Team Championship
champions The Nerdy Boys (Johnny Ender & Kris Kronie) defend against The Hardbodies (J.T. Lamotta & Andrew Dalton)
Kronie is coming off an injury, but made a triumphant return against Don Juan on April 22. Johnny Ender was originally the number 1 contender to the RCW Title, but lost that right to Fast Eddie Vegas. Now unified, the champs must face the number 1 contenders, The Hardbodies, whose antics are certainly questionable to say the least.

Plus, "One Man" Mike Dell, Quinten Allen, Martin Styles, Showtime Summers and much more!

Results from April 22

TEXAS
SAN ANTONIO—River City Wrestling before 135 fans at Arts of the Scholar Warrior Gym for “Step Into Our World”:

Chris Marval of the Texas Treats (w/ Commissioner Yebisu) pinned Spiro ...
Don Juan of the Texas Treats (w/ Commissioner Yebisu) pinned Kris Kronie of the Nerdy Boys ...

“One Man” Mike Dell pinned Quinten Allen ...
Fast Eddie Vegas of the Texas Treats (w/ Commissioner Yebisu) defeated Johnny Ender of the Nerdy Boys in a #1 Contender’s Match …
Ikaika won a Gauntlet over “Mr. Beautiful” Rudy Russo, Nathan Sin, and Tesla, but then lost to Don Juan..(04-22-06)

The event was an outstanding success, considering that the event was held in a new location in a different part of town with less than two weeks of promoting. Arts of the Scholar Warrior Gym is where the athletes of RCW train, and fans were invited to “Step Into Our World.” Although the temperature was hot, so was the action.

In an interesting turn of events, The Treats Treats gained a new member, and a new name. Now known as The International Power Station, Commissioner Yebisu has assembled a group of talented athletes – Fast Eddie Vegas, Don Juan, Chris Marval, and Spiro. Spiro joined the group by attacking “The Smashing Machine” Ikaika as Ikaika was wrestling Don Juan in a Gauntlet Match. Though Spiro lost earlier to Marval, he helped his newfound friend gain a victory.

Though Spiro did not say why he joined The IPS at “Step Into Our World,” Spiro was later quoted as saying, “I never received any title shots. When I did have my shot at Hernandez, the match never took place because of a couple of punks and I never received another opportunity. Then in the Tag Title Tournament, my tag team partner caused us to lose in the first round. Then, in the Fan Lumberjack Strap Match, the fans were SUPPOSED to be on my side. I’m tired of everyone else’s problems getting in my way of winning championships. So I’ve surrounded myself with the best. Now ‘The Classic Superstar’ is unstoppable with the IPS.”

In other news, Fast Eddie Vegas regained his Number One Contender status to the RCW Championship. Johnny Ender won that right at the April 1 show in an impromptu Battle Royal, but Vegas defeated Ender on April 22 to once again become the Number One Contender. Thus far, Vegas has had two opportunities at the title. Will it be a third strike for Vegas?

“I have Hotstuff’s number,” Vegas said. “He’s been lucky twice. Soon, I will be the sexiest champion RCW has ever had.”

Don Juan also had an interesting night. Despite the return of RCW Tag Team Champion Kris Kronie, The Texas Treat was able to defeat The Nerdy Boy in a comeback match. After the match, Don Juan got into a heated confrontation with RCW Promoter Brandon Oliver, leading Don Juan into knocking out Oliver. Later in the night, Don Juan defeated Ikaika … after Ikaika wrestled three other men. This prompted Oliver to make a match one-on-one for May 7.

“I’m the only man to ever pin Ikaika,” Don Juan said. “The student has surpassed the teacher.”

After making that match, Oliver announced that RCW will be bringing down the other two members of LAX – Homicide and Konnan – to face Vegas, Marval, and Spiro on May 7.

“After Don Juan attacked me, I called up Hotstuff Hernandez and asked him to get a hold of Konnan and Homicide,” Oliver said. “Tonight was the night of the Texas Treats, IPS, Irritable Bowl Syndrome, whatever they want to call themselves. However, I think May 7 will be different when they have to face TNA’s Latin American Xchange.”
You can buy tickets for May 7 at the Tiffany’s office, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. Call (210) 842-8398 in advance or visit http://www.rcw-wrestling.com.
