These results were posted by RBG on the www.indywarz.com message board.

TEXAS WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT (TWE)
'LAST STAND'
CIVIC CENTER, DEL RIO, TEXAS
SATURDAY JULY 14TH, 2007


General Announcements were made, including the naming of a new Commissioner, the Ragin' Bull Manny Fernandez. Virus, a newcomer to TWE made his way to the ring and began criticizing the naming of Fernandez to the position, stating there are plenty of names to put in that position, not an aging bull. At this point, the Ragin Bull came to the ring and gave Virus the lowdown. Stating the past and the older guys are the reason why the younger guys today can run their mouth, but hes going to make it a point that to be around, and make some changes to the promotion. Fernandez also stated that as his first call at his new position, he was going to name Virus' opponent for the night. Himself. A huge pop came from the crowd and Virus stormed out of the ring.

Opening Match
Bret Thunder vs Draven w/Vile
It was announced that TNA had given Rudy Boy Gonzalez and TWE special permission to hold an X-Division Title match for this night. With the understanding that should Samoa Joe lose, the winner would have to pick up Joe's bookings. It was also announced Mike Foxx, Samoa Joe's original opponent, was a 'No Call No Show'. A drawing was held, and the first two names that were drawn would have a match, with the winner of that match facing Joe in the Main Event.
Thunder vs Draven was a very good match, considering Draven has not been in the business long, but has been making improvements each week. Thunder was caught off guard with the partner outside of the ring, and was actually facing 2 man. Vile came in the ring to grab Thunder in a full nelson to allow Draven to get in a cheap shot, but Thunder moved and accidentally Vile was hit by his own partner. Thunder rolled up Draven for the win.
Winner-Thunder

Rudy Russo vs Gabe the Babe
Great match with two individuals in love with themselves. Russo executed a beautiful German Suplex midway through the match.
Winner- Rudy Russo

Windwalker vs Madd Max
Windwalker and Max had a very solid match. Crowd was into the Indian. Crowd was also into Max, as part of his gear is a kilt, ala the Headbangers.
Winner- Windwalker

Special Attraction
Virus vs Manny Fernandez
Fernandez gave Virus a clinic in wrestling, then turned up the heat and gave Virus a clinic in Ass Beating 101. Virus had a few moments of fame as he found a hole in Fernandez' attack, his knee, as he had just had knee replacement surgery a few months ago. But it didn't last long.
Winner- Manny Fernandez

Cowboy James Claxton vs Big Dogg
Claxton spent 2 tours in Iraq. When this was announced, there was a deafening cheer, but there was also a small amount of boos. Interesting. During one of the breaks in the show, Mix 96 DJ Tommy Deluxe had given away a lot of merchandise, T-shirts, CD, Koozies, etc. Big Dogg had taken exception to this as he was given nothing. Dogg confronted Deluxe and told him to stay of of his ring, while he slapped a cowboy hat off the 171 lb DJ. TWE CEO Rudy Boy Gonzalez had to get between the two and told Dogg to worry about his match, or he was going to be fined first thing Monday morning.
During the match, Dogg tried to get the cheap win by using his feet on the ropes. Referee Rick Porter was then informed by Deluxe about Doggs dastardly deeds, which he then ordered for the match to continue. James Claxton used a big 15 1/2 boot in the face of Dogg to get the 1, 2, 3.
Winner- Claxton

TWE TV Title Match
Challenger Mr Wrestling III vs Champion Skitzo
Very slow paced match to accommodate III's style. Something the Champion was not used to. III caught Skitzo off guard for the win.
Winner- Mr Wrestling III (new champion)

TNA X-Division Title Match
Challenger Bret Thunder vs Champion Samoa Joe
Typical Low Ki vs Samoa Joe match. Brutal. Except no Low-Ki. Thunder was forced to step up to the plate as Joe was not going to lose the X title 1 day before the Victory Road Pay Per View. Thunder had other ideas. Both men returned to the locker room with hand prints across their chest. Very good match up for Thunder. Midway through the match Joe did a dive through the ropes on the much smaller Thunder, causing Thunder to hit his head on the concrete floor. A resounding thud could be heard through out the Civic Center, but Thunder would not quit. Joe caught Thunder on the top rope and used the 'Muscle-Buster' to the delight of the fans for the win.
Winner- Samoa Joe

Notes- Fernandez will be running a promotion in N Carolina, and will sending talent to Texas in the future. Also, talks have begun with several other promotions to run under a national type banner, USA Pro Wrestling, American Pro Wrestling, etc, etc,. Details as they come. The team of Draven and Vile are a new duo in the promotion, and are trying to establish themselves as a force to deal with. Draven has been making strides in that direction.
Prior to the event, Fernandez had a 2 1/2 hour clinic with all the talent, and students of the TWA. Mentioned Jack Drastic as one of the top kids in the state.
The dance troupe 'G-Force' did a special entertainment routine during intermission the girls ages 10 to 16 did a great job. Mike Foxx has been stripped of the Texas Title as a result of not showing up, or at the very least, calling in.
Samoa Joe departed LA at 1am, Saturday, landed in San Antonio around 10, then made the 2 hr drive to Del Rio, arriving around 1pm. After the show Joe stayed till every fan that was in line got their pictures t-shirts, etc, etc, etc, signed, which lasted till close to midnight, then was driven back to San Antonio to catch a 5 am flight. Very little sleep if any, and a class act. He spoke with Bret Thunder briefly after the match, basically saying he's got 'it' and to keep doing whatever he's doing. Also relayed the same message to RBG. Special thanks to TNA, and Samoa Joe.
Special thanks to radio station Mix .96, and G-Force dance team.
