Big Wrestling Weekend Report - Part 2

TWE at Splashtown... Nothing but QUALITY!

Texas Wrestling Entertainment returned to Splashtown Saturday June 10 in what was clearly more than just a tune up for the big "When Worlds Collide Show" Sunday. For five matches the crowd of weekend revelers were enthralled by the action in the ring. Many of those in attendance may have never seen live wrestling before but they learned quickly, recognizing the entertaining action and enthusiastically cheering or booing the wrestlers involved.

The action got started with a match between the man recently called the best wrestler to come out of the Texas Wrestling Academy in years, Brett Thunder and the man who took his place in the Tag Title Match less than two months ago, Hector Navarro. Thunder clearly still feels that the Championship belt around Navarro's waist belongs around his own. The action was great and in the end, Thunder gained some measure of revenge by stealing the victory.

Next saw Windwalker facing off against Navarro's partner Skitzo. While Skitzo seemed to enjoy talking to the young fans around the ring, Windwalker showed an increased focus and pushed Skitzo in a highly competitive match. As Skitzo began mounting a comeback Windwalker was able to stop the momentum and grab the pin. Referee Rick Porter was unable to spot Windwalker's feet on the ropes and counted the 1-2-3 on Skitzo.

The third match featured the San Antonio debut of two impressive wrestlers. TJ Cannon squared off against the much larger Jason Havoc. TJ was able to combat the size differential with a flurry of high speed moves but Havoc was determined to ground Cannon. Cannon absorbed several very hard blows before reversing a pinning combination and getting the win. Rudy Boy Gonzalez instantly christened TJ Cannon as "The New Upset Kid."

The fourth match-up was a battle of big men as Bigg Dogg faced Cowboy James Claxton. These heavy-hitters went blow for blow for much of the match. The more experienced Bigg Dogg seemed to have the match in hand when the Cowboy was able to land the big boot. Bigg Dogg was unable to recover in time to avoid the pin.

For the main event, the Splashtown crowd was treated to a Texas Tag Team Championship Match. The challengers were none other than Brett Thunder and Windwalker who had each scored singles victories over the Tag Champions earlier in the day. Champions Skitzo and Hector Navarro were not going to just lay down and hand over the titles. All four wrestlers were at their best in this match and referee Rick Porter was hard pressed to keep up with all the action, especially the double-team tactics of the challengers. In the end, Porter was forced to count two pins at once as each of the champions had their challenger's shoulders to the mat.
