Hotstuff Hernandez successful in title defense

RCW thrills more than 250 fans at the YWCA
River City Wrestling held a professional wrestling event on Saturday, April 1, at the YWCA, 503 Castroville Rd. More than 250 fans were in attendance for this event just two short weeks after Breaking All of the Rules.

1. The Texas Treats - Chris Marval & Don Juan (win) vs. The Crusaders - Pop 'n Lock
The Texas Treats were without Commissioner Yebisu, who is currently in Japan, but came to the ring with fellow Treat and ..1 contender, Fast Eddie Vegas. After a heated discussion with RCW Promoter Brandon Oliver, Oliver sent Eddie to the back and gave the Treats an impromptu match against a team that "could dance better than the Treats." Dancing skills aside, this was a great match, but The Treats got the better of the Crusaders who made a nice showing in their RCW debut.

2. No DQ MatchMartin Styles (win) vs. Quinten Allen
This was Styles' first match in RCW. Quinten Allen, meanwhile, has been on an impressive streak, including fighting through an injury and defeating Spiro in a Lumberjack Fan Strap Match at Breaking All of the Rules. Before the match, Allen said he is the only genuine natural athlete, degrading his running mates Mike Dell and Hector Montoya who together comprise the Natural Athletes. A big-time highlight included Styles, a graduate of the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy, diving off of the top rope, over the guardrail, and onto Quinten Allen who was standing out in the crowd.

3. Tag Team Championship ..1 Contenders Match
The Hardbodies - Andrew Dalton & JT LaMotta (win) vs. Hallowmass - Joseph & Logan
Both teams make their return to RCW put forth an incredible tag match. Despite the "questionable" antics of the Hardbodies, Dalton was able to roll up Logan and capture the win and the ranking as the ..1 contenders to the tag titles.

Mr. Showtime Summers made his way to the ring, still suffering from the effects of the Street Fight he had with Ikaika back at Breaking All of the Rules. Summers, who lost 3 pints of blood and required 16 staples to his head two weeks ago, came out and thanked the fans. Then he revealed it was April Fool's Day and proceeded to abuse the fans in attendance.

4. Rudy Russo vs. One Man Mike Dell (win)
"Mr. Beautiful" came out to the ring and of course was telling everyone how "beautiful" he is, when a football came flying over the curtain and landed in the ring, signalling the entrance of "One Man" Mike Dell. The crowd imitated the "football pose" of Dell as he came to the ring. A back-and-forth contest ensued, but Dell scored a "Touchdown" and pinned Russo for the win.

5. The Texas Treats vs. Johnny Ender & Ikaika (win)
"The Smashing Machine" filled in for Ender's partner Kris Kronie. This was an incredible tag team match, with back and forth action. Eventually, Ikaika hit the "Burning Hammer" on Marval and Ender followed with a Nerd-Factor for the win. After the match, Oliver attempted to interview Ender about his injured friend, but Ender was attacked once again by the Treats. Ikaika and Martin Styles made the save, which led to Oliver making a new match....

6. Battle Royal to name ..1 Contender to RCW Heavyweight Championship:
(in order eliminated) Don Juan, Chris Marval, Quinten Allen, Andrew Dalton, JT LaMotta, Ikaika, Martin Styles, Rudy Russo, Mike Dell, & Johnny Ender (win)
Oliver decided to make an impromptu Battle Royal to determine a ..1 contender for the next RCW show. The Texas Treats quickly eliminated themselves by jumping over the top rope, avoiding any conflict. Meanwhile, Ender battled through Russo and Dell, and won the Battle Royal. After the match, Ender celebrated the win with his new-found friend, Ikaika.

7. Main Event - RCW Heavyweight Championship
Challenger Fast Eddie Vegas (with Texas Treats) vs. Champion Hotstuff Hernandez (win & retains title)
The 300-pound Tex-Mex T-Rex, and now part of NWA-TNA's LAX group with Konnan, had incredible odds to face in this title defense. This was a rematch from their Match of the Year candidate back in February. This time, however, Eddie had the Treats in his corner, and they interfered throughout the match. The trio even hit the champion with a triple superplex, and then Eddie bloodied Hernandez' nose with a knee to the face. However, the Tex-Mex T-Rex UNBELIEVABLY hit a sunset flip powerbomb OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE and scored the victory.
