Mid-Week Report

Southern Thunder in Lytle

Last Sunday, July 16th, Southern Thunder Pro Wrestling held a card at The New Cattleman's Bar and Grill in Lytle Texas. STPW Commissioner Don ran the show with Ring Announcer Jeff Houston. The referee was Alex Marrozos. Although Heather Devine was announced to face Cherry Pie, Cherry had been injured in her last match so Heather came out and issued a challenge to "the biggest, meanest wrestler in the back." At this point Raiden came out to accept the challenge. Before anyone could point out the inherent irony, Commissioner Don set up the match for later that night.

In the first match, J.J. Wakefield and Vega hooked up, with both men showing their offense. The match went back and forth, with Vega gaining the victory in the end.

Afterwards, Commissioner Don interviewed El Latino who is set to face Dragon X for the light heavyweight championship in the main event. The interview was interrupted by Dragon X and the tag champions Blaine Steele and Zeke the Unique who proceeded to beat down Latino. Fortunately Tito Sanchez, Cobra and Virus came out to make the save.

The second match was the intergender match between Heather Devine and Raiden. To start the match, Raiden's antics seemed to confuse Devine, but eventually Heather's experience paid off and she took the victory.

Match three was a # 1 contender's match for the STPW heavyweight championship. Renegade and Cobra have both had recent matches against STPW Champion Johnny Rage and both were determined to get another chance. In the end, Renegade's size and strength determined the finish when he hit Cobra with a clothesline from hell.

After the intermission, Tag Champions Blaine Steele and Zeke the Unique faced the challenge of the Mexican Connection - Tito Sanchez and Virus. The rulebreaking champions seemed to be in trouble from the challengers who both are familiar with rulebreaking tactics. Eventually the champions had to resort to the use of a foreign object, but Referee Alex Marozzos caught them and was forced to disqualify the champions, giving the challengers the win, but not the titles. Commissioner Don immediately stepped in, fining the champs and setting up a no DQ match for the next STPW event (August 20th at the New Cattleman's Bar in Lytle.)

In the next match, fans were treated to a Lucha Libre match between Ave Fenix and Mr. Muerte. These are two of the best Luchadores currently working in the area and their match demonstrated many of the aspects that make Lucha Libre an entertaining style. Even when the match spilled out of the ring and Muerte took a hard spill the pair continued the match with Mr. Muerte overcoming the setback and taking the win. Afterwards the two celebrated together, showing the sportsmanship of the pair.

In the main event, El Latino returned to the ring, still showing signs of the beating he had received earlier. Cruiserweight Champion Dragon X came to the ring accompanied by Blaine Steele. Dragon X showed his new attitude of disrespect for the fans throughout the match and relied on several underhanded tactics and some outside help from Steele. At the height of the match, Dragon X pushed the Referee into the way of El Latino, knocking Marrozos hard to the mat. While The ref recovered, Steele attempted to help Dragon X, but that backfired and it appeared that Latino had the pin. Instead the referee chose to disqualify Dragon X for the deliberate move earlier. Latino won the match, but Dragon X remains the Cruiserweight Champion.

The next Southern Thunder Pro Wrestling Show is scheduled for August 20th at the New Cattleman's Bar along the frontage road of I-35 North in Lytle Texas.

Main Event:

RCW Championship
"The 300-pound Tex-Mex T-Rex" Hotstuff Hernandez of NWA-TNA's Latin American Xchange defends the RCW Championship against the hardcore wrestler from Japan, Masada.

Also...

As seen on the premiere episode "RCW on KCWX", The Texas Treats defeated The Nerdy Boys to become the RCW Tag Team Champions. The Treats, ever-cocky, even mimicked The Nerdy Boys. After the victory, The Treats then threw down a challenge that Chris Marval and Don Juan would soon regret... "The Texas Treats will defend the titles any time, any place, any where, as long as there is a referee and the sound of a ring bell." The Shadow Alliance -- comprised of "80's Sensation" Joey Spector and Wally Darkmon -- took full advantage of this new stipulation, winning the Tag Team Championships in unorthodox fashion by pinning the Treats backstage at Tiffany's Billiards.

Then, on last week's episode of "RCW on KCWX," we saw how The Shadow Alliance granted The Treats a rematch, but The Nerdy Boys -- this time mimicking The Treats -- helped The Shadow Alliance retain the titles. But then came the unthinkable ... The Nerdy Boys, who were once loved but have been receiving a lot of "hate" as of late, were tired of being picked on and showed a new attitude, as Johnny Ender knocked out Spector with a chair and The Nerdy Boys attacked Darkmon. With the Tag Team Title scene heating up, all three teams will be in attendance on July 29.

Plus, as seen on "RCW on KCWX," Commissioner Yebisu has promised that a new member would join the International Power Station.

And this WILL be a television taping for "RCW on KCWX!"
