Challengers # 1 - Ikaika & Marty Cone vs. Challengers # 2 - The Texas Treats: Don Juan & Chris Marval (win & new champions) vs. Champions - The Hardbodies: Andy Dalton & Joey Spector

Notes: RCW was a central part of the Low Low Car Show at Rosedale Park Sunday. The show began as RCW CEO Brandon Oliver called out the RCW Tag Team Champions The Hardbodies: Andy Dalton & Joey Spector. As it turns out, the Hardbodies are now the longest reigning Tag Champs in RCW history. At this point, Don Juan came out and demanded a shot at the title. Don Juan went so far as to say that Oliver could pick anyone on the RCW roster as his partner. When Marty Cone came out of the locker room and offered his service since he had previously won a shot at any championship in RCW. Don Juan balked at this offer and Brandon Oliver revealed that the two would not team. Rather they will each be assigned a partner and challenge for the belts in a 3 way dance. Brandon then called out the first man who would partner in the match, The Smashing Machine Ikaika. Unfortunately for Don Juan, Ikaika was being teamed with Marty Cone. Don Juan's partner was to be none other than Chris Marval, Don Juan's former partner in the Texas Treats. Neither Don Juan nor Chris Marval seemed terribly excited about the prospect of teaming once again.

The opening match was a tag team match featuring the team of Gregory Symonds and Rob Raw facing the enmascaradas Sicodelico Jr. & SKAM 13 from Mexico. The crowd was clearly behind the luchadores and thrilled by the victory when Sicodelico Jr. pinned Symonds.

In the second match, Dusty Wolfe faced "One Man" Mike Dell. The younger, more athletic Dell was never able to overcome the experience of the veteran Wolfe and eventually took his frustrations out on the referee Alex Marrozos who disqualified Dell, giving Dusty the win.

The third match was for the RCW Heavyweight Title as Rory Fox challenged for Masada's belt. At first Fox seemed intimidated by Masada, but eventually Fox engaged the big man from Big Japan. In perhaps the upset of the day, Rory managed to steal the victory with a handful of tights becoming the new RCW Heavyweight Champion.

In the next match, JT LaMotta renewed his rivalry with Rudy Russo and LaMotta's string of hard luck in RCW matches continued as Russo was able to pick up the victory with a Gory Bomb.

In the main event, both teams of challengers had difficulty cooperating as The former partners Don Juan and Chris Marval were barely able to avoid attacking one another, and the Smashing Machine Ikaika seemed more or less annoyed by the antics of the flamboyant Marty Cone. The Champions seemed confident that their experience and teamwork advantage would prevail. But in the end, the unthinkable occurred. Don Juan seized advantage of the confusion and scored the pinfall victory over Andy Dalton. The Texas Treats, reluctantly reunited were once again RCW Tag Team Champions. After the match, Joey Spector was livid at the loss, blaming his partner, Spector attacked Dalton, effectivly ending the partnership.

RCW returns to action at the Hope of Glory Church soon! Check out www.rcw-wrestling.com for for details on this show and an upcoming announcement.

Notes: A Matter of Life and Death: That was the name given to this last Sunday's ACW show at the Venue. It seems rather appropriate in hindsite as no fewer than 3 wrestlers were carried to the back following their matches. ACW wrestlers know that they take their lives into their own hands when they enter the ring to entertain the fans.

Before the first match, ACW Tag Team Champions The Sexy Fox-a-Dell-ics, Rory Fox and "One Man Mike Dell, along with their partner Gregory Symonds came to the ring to boast that they were the greatest tag teams in ACW history. As it turned out, The Children of Pain, Jacob Ladder and Darin Childs had a few things to say about that claim. A challenge was laid out, but before a match could be made, Kissyboots music played and Rachel Summerlyn came to the ring and stated she wanted in on the action, adding that her injured partner Skylar Skelly had hand selected a replacement. So a main event, 3 team tag team championship match was set up.

The first two matches on this night of eleven matches were semi-finals in the IWA Texas-ACW Young Guns Under 30 Title Tournament. In the first match, Berry Breeze advanced by beating "Showcase" Shance Williams using a Cloverleaf submission variation. In the second match"Heatseeker" Tony Morales advanced in a very tough match against Awesome Andy who was substituting for the injured Shawn Vexx. Breeze and Morales would meet later in the evening in the finals.

The next match was an 8-man "Old School" Tag Team Match. The first team was Double Trouble's Tony Vega & Chris James with Dusty Wolfe and Rob Raw from Brussels Belgium. The opposing team was made up of Mr. Destiny, Ricky Rhodes, Chad Thomas, and ACW newcomer Steve DeMarco. The team led by Dusty Wolfe showed great teamwork and managed to keep Ricky Rhodes in the ring for the majority of the match. As Rhodes' partners began to show their frustration all the men ran into the ring, leading to a melee which spilled out of the ring. Dusty Wolfe found himself alone in the ring with Rhodes. Dusty hit the piledriver and Rhodes was out.

Next came a 5 man scramble elimination match. These scramble matches have become among the most exciting and popular matches on the ACW shows, and this match was no exception. The highlight of the match was a Senton by Dillon Stone from the top of the stairs onto his opponents 15 feet below on the floor of the Venue. Shortly after that move, Stone hit a frogsplash onto "Hotsauce" Marco Riviera, eliminating Hotsauce. Then, following a 4 man tower Suplex, Julio Garza was pinned by Nathin Sin. Next eliminated was Pepe Rodriguez who was pinned by Stone following a Reality Check. With Sin and Stone the last two men, the action actually picked up. When Stone went for a huracanrana, Sin tossed him off. Stone landed awkwardly and Sin was in control, gaining the victory by pinfall following a vicious slam.

The featured match between Massive and NWA Tag Team Champion Joey "Magnum" Ryan was next. Ryan found himself in a very tough match as the "World's Largest Cruiserweight" Massive used his weight advantage to his benefit. Ryan was no stranger to big matches or big opponents and was ready for everything Massive threw at him. Just as Massive seemed poised to grab the victory, the loudspeakers played the familiar theme of Bio-Hazard Jaykus Plisken, who hadn't been seen in an ACW ring since Massive broke Plisken's ribs. Distracted, Massive turned his attention to the entrance to the lockerroom. Ryan seized the moment, and rolled Massive up. With both feet on the ropes, Ryan scored the pinfall victory and cleared out as fast as he could. Still unsure what had happened, Massive headed to the lockerroom, only to be met by Jaykus Plisken. Exhausted by the long hard match, Massive had no chance against Plisken. As the dust settled, it was Massive who needed to be helped to the back.

For the last 3 weeks, former ACW champion "Showtime" Summers has been issuing challenges to any ACW wrestler for a match. Imagine his surprise then, when his challenge was met by Problems. After recovering from his fit of laughter, Summers made short work of the rookie Problems, defeating him in less than 2 minutes, but before he could even get out of the ring, "Showtime" was stopped by the appearance of "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon who offered to give him a slightly tougher challenge. During his run as champion, Summers faced and defeated 13 of the toughest men in indy wrestling, but perhaps none of them gave him a harder challenge than Cannon did on this night. This was one of those rare matches in which the crowd watches in awe as the two wrestlers exchanged holds and counters until after nearly 20 minutes Cannon missed a Glimmering Warlock. Showtime slapped on a chokehold, but Cannon refused to tap out and somehow managed to avoid passing out. Showtime then converted the hold to a slam and scored the pin.

The next match was a 3 way elimination match which was a total clash of styles as JT LaMotta, Gregory Symonds and Masada faced off. This was one of the hardest hitting matches ever seen in an ACW ring. The first elimination came when Gregory Symonds caught LaMotta in a Torture Rack, but the hold was broken up as Masada hit Symonds in the face with a drop kick from the top turnbuckle. LaMotta scrambled atop Symonds for the pin. The Mind of Wrestling then turned his attention to the Bad Ass from Big Japan. Despite a tremendous size disadvantage, LaMotta didn't back down an inch. It appeared JT was actually going to continue his winning ways in ACW after hitting an inverted huracanrana and planting Masada on his head. This was not to be the case however as Masada avoided LaMotta's follow up Corkscrew Moonsault. Masada then hit a Masada-mizer for the victory.

The mixed tag team match featuring the team of Portia Perez and Zach Storm facing Miss Diss_Lexia and Andrew Dalton. Dalton seemed determined to make his official ACW debut impressive, refusing the help of his partner. Dalton remained in the ring for most of the match, focusing his attack on the talented but petite Perez while attempting to avoid the offense of Storm. Several times in the match, Miss Diss_Lexia had to rescue her unwilling partner. Eventually, Dalton managed to gain the pin over Storm, but afterwards attacked his own partner, stating basically that women in wrestling have no place in the ring. As Dalton continued his sexist tirade, Rachel Summerlyn rushed the ring and overwhelmed Dalton, leaving him unconscious in the ring.

The Young Guns Tournament Final was next on the card. Berry Breeze and Tony Morales returned for their title match, but it was announced that this match would be competed "Anarchy Rules" meaning that falls would count anywhere. Indeed the match was fought throughout the Venue, as Morales stated as the pair wrestled up the stairs "Every Seat is a Front Row Seat!" Heading up those stairs may have been the turning point in the match, however as it was Morales who was thrown down the stairs. Berry seized that advantage and never let up. When Berry hit his "Cherry Popper" finisher on Morales outside the ring on the hard concrete floor, the most unlikely champion in ACW history was named. Berry Breeze was named the first ever IWA Texas-Anarchy Championship Wrestling Young Guns Champion.

Next came the Main Event, the three team Tag Team Championship Match. Champions Rory Fox and Mike Dell were putting their belts on the line against the Children of Pain, Jacob Ladder and Darin Childs and the Team of the New Kissyboots, Rachel Summerlyn and her partner... Jimmy Jacobs. All six wrestlers were at the top of their game in this match and each had the opportunity to show why they should be called "Champion." Only one team however, can be called champions. When the action reached a boiling point, Rachel hit Jacob Ladder with a DDT onto a chair leading to the elimination of the Children of Pain. Shortly thereafter, Fox & Dell hit a double team move on Jimmy Jacobs and covered him for the pin and the victory.

ACW returns to the Venue in 2 weeks with "Sweet Destruction" on September 23rd. Check out www.anarchychampionshipwrestling.com for details on this show and all things related to ACW.
