Huge Weekend Report - Part 2

RCW Takes Over Car Show

River City Wrestling made an appearance at the San Antonio Car Show Sunday May 28th at the Airport Convention Center and a crowd of hundreds witnessed 5 top level matches. While many RCW T-Shirts could be seen in the crowd, most of those in attendance had probably never seen live indy wrestling before. Based on the enthusiastic response, this won't be the last time for most of the new fans. The show started with an exciting Fan Lumberjack Strap Match which had been set up the night before between former tag partners Hector Montoya and Mike Dell. One Man Mike Dell is always in the running for Match of the Night and this match was no exception, but it was Hector Montoya who showed the crowd some of the most impressive moves of the afternoon. The crowd was thrilled by the action that went back and forth between the two, and when either went to the floor, the fans with straps stood poised to do their duty. When the dust settled it was One Man Mike Dell whose hand was raised in victory by Referee Alex Marrozos.

The second match showed no let up as the crowd was treated to a Triple Threat No DQ match featuring "The Upset Kid" Joey Spector, Showtime Summers and "The Bling King" Quinten Allen. These three battled dramatically, even bringing out a ladder which was put to good use. None of the wrestlers was able to take the advantage for long. In the end, it was Quinten Allen who was able to extend his winning streak. The Bling King didn't have time to celebrate however, as One Man Mike Dell returned to the ring and nailed Allen. QA was able to escape the ring before absorbing Dell's finisher.

Next the RCW Tag Titles were on the line as the champions, The Nerdy Boys, faced two members of the IPS. Spiro and Chris Marval, who each had scored a pinfall over one of the Nerdy Boys the previous night in the big 8 man elimination tag match, figured to be ready to score the pin in a title match. The Nerdy Boys were not ready to give up so easily as they withstood the assault of the larger opponents. Despite receiving a tremendous beating at the hands of the rule breakers, Johnny Ender and Kris Kronie were able to prevail and show the doubters in the crowd who the Tag Champs are.

The fourth match would have been a main event anywhere in Texas as Fast Eddie Vegas renewed his rivalry with Hotstuff Hernandez in a battle for Hotstuff's RCW Heavyweight Title. In this, the third rematch since the classic first meeting of the two last February, Fast Eddie showed the determination that has made him a #1 contender. Despite having to deal with Eddie in the ring, Hotstuff also had to deal with Commissioner Yebisu, Chris Marval & Spiro on the outside. Hotstuff, who had on the previous evening proclaimed his unwillingness to share the title of "Superstar" with anyone, didn't show any signs of letting up. As might be expected, Hotstuff dominated the smaller Vegas early until Eddie was able to turn the tables. It appeared that Eddie was finally poised to take the title as he climbed the corner ringpost when Danny De La Paz from the movies "Boulevard Nights" and "American Me" ran to ringside, pushing Eddie, and causing him to fall from his perch. Hotstuff seized the advantage at this point and slammed Eddie for the pin.

The Main Event was the Tables Match that had been set up the night before between Don Juan of the IPS and Ikaika the Smashing Machine. This was a violent match between two former friends who now hate one another. Commissioner Yebisu was ringside again to assure his man had an advantage, but those who saw the last match between Don Juan and Ikaika know that the big Hawaiian wasn't going to let anyone get in the way of him punishing Don Juan. Both men worked on inflicting damage to their opponent for a long time with neither setting the table. No one wanted a quick finish for this one. The object was clearly pain before victory. The action spilled out into the crowd as spectators had to be moved back from the pair of combatants. Eventually the table was set up and Ikaika slammed the bloody Don Juan through the table and gained some measure of revenge against the IPS.

Despite having wrestled less than 24 hours before, and facing the prospect of fighting in front of a crowd made largely of people who had never been to an RCW show before, the wrestlers and other members of the RCW Team seized the opportunity and presented a first-rate show, winning countless new fans for sure. Brandon Oliver and all of the RCW crew should be applauded for bringing QUALITY wrestling to people in San Antonio.
