STPW 8-25 Show Results & Notes

Southern Thunder Pro Wrestling
Texas Wrestling Academy
Saturday August 25, 2007

Match # 1 - "Mad-Dog" Ken Johnson (win) vs. Atlas Strong
Match # 2 - Big Dogg (win) vs. Draven
Match # 3 - Virus vs. Skitzo (win)
Match # 4 - 2nd Annual STPW Cruiserweight Invitational - For Trophy and to Fill Vacant Cruiserweight Title - 6 Man Elimination Match with Scramble Rules.
(order eliminated) Jose Valiente vs. Von Velocity vs. Polaris vs. Dragon X vs. Manny Domingo vs. Mr. B (win & new champion)
Match # 5 - Main Event - STPW Heavyweight Title Match
Challenger Brett Thunder vs. Champion Rudy Russo (win & retain title)

Notes: The first match saw long-time veteran "Mad-Dog" Ken Johnson face newcomer Atlas Strong. Strong is a formidable young man standing 6'6" and weighing 265 lbs, but his strength and enthusiasm were no match for the experience of the crafty Johnson who used the added leverage of his feet on the ropes to gain the pin.

In the second match, Big Dogg faced Alex Draven whose popularity with the fans seems to be growing. As in the earlier match, the veteran Big Dogg was able to take advantage of an inexperienced referee Ron Dunnings (The most honest ref in indy wrestling) and steal a victory by pulling Draven's tights.

In the third match, Virus was confused by the antics of Skitzo who seemed convinced that this was a tag-team match and would regularly "tag out" to a partner only Skitzo could see. The frustration and confusion on Virus's part paid dividends for Skitzo who picked up the victory following an elbow drop from the top rope.

Next came the 2nd Annual STPW Cruiserweight Invitational. This year, the battle was even more important as the winner would, aside from taking home the trophy, be named to fill the vacant STPW Cruiserweight Title. Six of the top cruiserweights in Texas competed in an elimination match with scramble rules, meaning any two men could be in the ring at any given time regardless of tags. These matches are always exciting as the participants are eager to show their innovative offense. After several minutes of action, the first man was finally eliminated when Von Velocity hit a corkscrew plancha from the top turnbuckle onto Jose Valiente. Von himself was next eliminated when Manny Domingo hit a 45o splash from the top rope. Polaris was eliminated next when Dragon X hit a standing moonsault. Dragon X was next eliminated when Mr. B hit him with a "Windy City Drop." The last two men, Mr. B and Manny Domingo then battled intensely until B was able to gain the advantage and hit a second "Windy City Drop" and pick-up the victory.

In the Main Event, new STPW Heavyweight Champion Rudy Russo faced the challenge of Brett Thunder. This was a great match as Russo seems to be relishing his new-found popularity with the fans. Thunder would be considered a top challenger for any belt he sets his eyes on, and since the STPW belt has his name "Thunder" on it, Brett appeared destined to victory. It only takes one mistake however to determine a match on this level and Russo was the one to take advantage, hitting Thunder with a Gory Special followed up by a single leg Boston Crab. Thunder was forced to tap out.

After the match, Renegade came to the ring and demanded a shot at the belt. Russo, despite being exhausted from a hard-fought victory agreed to meet him at the next STPW show.

The date for the next STPW show will be announced soon on www.myspace.com/stpwlair and here at the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene. The Texas Wrestling Academy will host the second "Face Off" event next Saturday, August 1st as Manny Fernandez brings Team Ragin' Bull to face off against TWE's Team RBG.
