Breaking All Of The Rules 2

River City Wrestling returned to Tiffany Billiards with a record-breaking show of special stipulation matches. 336 paid attendance eclipsed the previous record, but attendance records weren't the only things broken on this night. The show started quickly as Ring Announcer Jeff Houston and Referee Alex Marrozos came to the ring and the first match was announced.

The opening match was a three team scramble for the Tag Team Championship currently held by the Shadow Alliance of Wally Darkmon and Joey Spector. The other teams challenging for the titles were the Texas Treats - Don Juan and Chris Marval, and the Nerdy Boys - Kris Kronie and Johnny Ender. Simply put, this match came close to stealing the show. Many in attendance considered it the best opening match of any show this year. The action was non-stop with high impact wrestling from the opening bell. Individuals who had been critical of some of these participants last week should view this match as proof of the commitment and skills of all involved. With the Scramble rules, tags were not necessary, when one man left the ring another would enter. This lead to every possible matchup occurring and several double-team maneuvers involving members of opposing teams working together to team up on members of the third team. All three teams should be commended, but it was the Texas Treats who showed the teamwork necessary to win and when Chris Marval pinned Spector following a vicious double team maneuver, there were new Tag Team Champions. Congratulations to the new RCW Tag Champions Don Juan and Chris Marval, the Texas Treats.

After the match, Hotstuff Hernandez came to the ring accompanied by RCW President Brandon Oliver and RCW Diva Cat. As the 6 men in the ring were about to shake hands, Hotstuff came in and quickly cleared the ring. Commissioner Yebisu, who managed the Treats to victory was not quick enough to avoid a mega-bomb from the RCW Champion. Afterwards Brandon Oliver calmly claimed the tag belts and proclaimed that it was he who controlled RCW, not Yebisu or the IPS or any others.

The second match was for the RCW TV Title and the special stipulation was that this was a Ladder Match. Challenger Fast Eddie Vegas was forced to go at it alone as his manager Yebisu had been helped to the back. This didn't seem to bother Eddie who was as confident as always. Champion Andrew Dalton also came to the ring alone. The crowd was treated to another outstanding match as these two wrestler showed what they were made of. Fans who have questioned Dalton's antics may not be so quick to question his toughness and both he and Eddie used the ladders and chairs to inflict damage on the other. At some time during the match, the ring boards under the mat broke and for the rest of the show, the ring became more precarious. As the two men showed incredible creativity in using the ladders to harm the other it appeared that neither would be able to gain the advantage required to climb the ladder and retrieve the belt. When both men were stunned in the ring, from out of the back emerged JT LaMotta, Dalton's partner in the Hardbodies. LaMotta threw powder in the eyes of referee Alex Marrozos and rushed to the ring. Scurrying up the ladder, LaMotta deftly undid the clasp and quickly retrieved the belt for his partner. LaMotta then rushed to Marrozos and pointed out that Dalton had the belt. Marrozos had no choice but to call for the bell and declare Dalton the winner and still champion.

Following this match, The Texas Treats returned to the ring, apparently to aid their IPS partner Fast Eddie, but when Hotstuff and his entourage came out, fans began to suspect there was more to it. Marval and Don Juan explained that since they had belts it only seemed right that they join forces with the true powers in RCW. Since Eddie didn't win his match, he wasn't good enough to join them. Besides, since Hotstuff, Marval and Don Juan were Mexicans, and Eddie is Cuban he didn't belong. The Treats then proceeded to beat down their former associate. They then turned on the fans who had previously been supportive of them.

The next match was the Fan Strap Lumberjack Match. 12 fans were selected by raffle to participate, they then surrounded the ring. Next the combatants came out. First came Bling King Quinten Allen who was greeted by mixed crowd reaction. The second combatant was the returning JT LaMotta who was appearing in his first RCW match since suffering an injury last month in a show in north Texas. LaMotta showed no signs of being slowed as he and Allen squared off. The two battled in the ring for several minutes before the Bling King was thrown out to the lumberjacks. The fans with straps quickly encouraged him to return to the ring, the first time. The next time Allen went through the ropes he landed on the other side of the ring. The Lumberjacks on that side were far more friendly to the Bling King. The weren't so kind to LaMotta when he landed on that side. Eventually it was JT who managed to gain control, and using the ropes he scored the pin over Quinten.

Following the intermission, the show was set to continue with the fatal four-way match for the RCW Heavyweight Championship held by Hotstuff Hernandez. Before the match began, the challengers were introduced: The Great Kazushi Miyamoto from the IPS accompanied by Commissioner Yebisu, One-Man Mike Dell, and the Hawaiian Smashing Machine Ikaika. Ikaika took the microphone and announced that this match was going to be his last. Ikaika explained that he had some personal issues to deal with and thanked those fans who had supported him and that he hoped to give them a good match. The San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene wishes Ikaika success in his future endeavors in and out of the ring. The four men in this match each asserted themselves physically at different points. There were no alliances as it was every man for himself. Ikaika was the unfortunate recipient of the green mist from Kazushi but managed to kick out of a pin attempt. As Referee Alex Marrozos dealt with action outside the ring, RCW Diva Cat ran into the ring and hit Dell in the groin. The Texas Treats then came in for a quick double team on Dell who somehow managed to kick out of a pin attempt by Hernandez. Hotstuff then grabbed a trash can and hit Dell with it. Placing the can over Dell's head, Hotstuff then hit him with a dropkick from the top turnbuckle. Dell was unable to withstand this and when Hotstuff covered him for the pin, the match was over. Hotstuff Hernandez remains the unbeaten RCW Heavyweight Champion. After the match, both Dell and Kazushi swore to return.

The main event of the evening was next. The announced three way hardcore match featuring Necro Butcher, Homeless Hugh Rogue and JCW Hardcore Champion Rude Boy did not occur as Rude Boy and Violent J of the ICP were unable to make the show and Rogue was not able to get medical clearance after receiving a fractured cheekbone last night in a match against Necro. Rogue was not willing to be left out. He came out in a Referee's shirt and slammed Marrozos. So Hugh Rogue was the special referee for this Tag Team San Antonio Street fight. The first team, Chuy Martinez and Alcatraz came to the ring pushing a shopping cart filled with implements of destruction. Their opponents were Sidd Murder and Necro Butcher. The match started out as a basic tag match with Sidd and Chuy in the ring, but Necro Butcher assured that the formalities wouldn't last long, "I'm gonna tag in once. Only once!" Knowing of Necro's reputation, the team of Martinez and Alcatraz seemed determined to inflict as much damage as possible, keeping Sidd in the ring and Necro on the outside. Sidd put up a valiant fight as his back was sliced up from light tubes but when he finally managed to tag in Necro Butcher the match really opened up. Describing the action in a singles hardcore match is difficult. In a Tag Team match, it is almost impossible. The broken ring from earlier in the show had deteriorated to the point of a two foot deep pit in the middle of the ring. Fortunately, not very much of the action took place in the ring. Hugh Rogue was forced to run from one battle to the other counting pin covers as Alcatraz and Necro were battling in the parking lot and Sidd and Martinez were battling in the crowd. Fans were amazed at the violence of this match and when Necro Butcher finally pinned Chuy Martinez the fans showed their appreciation for all the men in the match.

RCW has yet to announce the next show date, but plans are in the work for a date sometime this month. When details are announced at www.rivercitywrestling.net or on RCW Rampage KCWX UPN2 every Friday Morning at 12:30 AM they well be reprinted here.
