Match # 5 - Main Event
Brett Thunder vs. "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson (win)

Notes: Tonight was the highly anticipated return to Texas of The American Dragon Bryan Danielson who got his start and was trained by TWE CEO Rudy Boy Gonzalez. Unfortunately, RBG announced, no one had stepped up to accept Dragon's challenge so tonight he would only be selling T-Shirts, posing for pictures and signing autographs. This announcement prompted Skitzo to come out from the lockerroom. Skitzo, one half of the TWE Tag Champions, stated that he was here and ready to face Danielson. Before RBG could make the match however, TWE TV Champion Brett Thunder came out and stated that he too was ready to take that challenge. After heated discussion, it was decided that Thunder and Skitzo would face each other in the first match to determined who would face Danielson in the Main Event. In a very even match, Brett Thunder was able to squeak out a victory following a high knee drop kick to Skitzo's sternum.

The second match saw Rudy Boy Gonzalez face one of the young stars of the Texas Wrestling Academy Dynamite Danny G. Danny showed that he was indeed a star student and kept up with his trainer despite Rudy using a few tricks he may not have shown during training. In the end, Danny was able to hit his running Shooting Star Press for the victory.

In the third match, it was masked man vs. masked man as the rookie Ronnie the Red faced the veteran Lemus II. Lemus might have been able to win the match if he had concentrated on pinning his young opponent rather than attempting to remove his mask, but Lemus seemed determined to take the trophy to show Ronnie how important the mask is to a luchadore. Ronnie was able to take advantage of this misdirected focus and hit a backslide on Lemus II to gain the pin.

The next match pitted the charismatic yet enigmatic Draven against Windwalker. The Native American Windwalker showed a great deal of determination in this match, while Draven attempted to bully his opponent. At one point it appeared that Draven was in total control, but rather than make a solid cover, he lay down in a lackadaisical manner across Windwalker who reversed the pin for the victory.

Prior to the Main Event, Bryan Danielson stated that while training in San Antonio, one thing had always eluded him, that being a singles title. Although his opponent Brett Thunder is the current TWE TV Champion, this match was to be a non-title match. However, Danielson pointed out, he knew that next Wednesday, Rudy planned to have a match to fill the vacant TWE Texas Title. Danielson asked that Rudy award a spot in that match to the winner of this contest tonight. Rudy confirmed that if Danielson was indeed victorious, he would change his scheduled departure from Texas and be available for the match. With that assurance, Rudy was thrilled to make that stipulation.

Bryan Danielson has been called the best wrestler in the world by some fans and some experts, but Brett Thunder has faced some of the stiffest competition around so he was not in the least intimidated by Danielson's reputation. The match itself would easily stand up as one of the best matches seen in San Antonio during 2007. At first, both men shook hands and showed good sportsmanship during the action, but about 10 minutes in, Danielson started to show some frustration at not being able to dominate his young opponent, and turned up his intensity noticeably. Thunder struggled to come back from the innovative offense of the American Dragon and actually was beginning to take command when Danielson was able to catch Thunder coming off the corner turnbuckle and slap on the vicious Cattle Mutilation submission finisher in the middle of the ring. Thunder had no choice but to tap out.

With the victory, San Antonio fans were guaranteed at least one more opportunity to watch Bryan Danielson in a TWE ring as he will face a yet to be announced opponent next Wednesday to determine the new TWE Texas Champion. Aside from this show, Rudy Gonzalez announced that this coming Saturday, December 15th, Texas Wrestling Entertainment would return to the TWE Main Event Center for a special show. Bell time is 7:30 and it should be noted that this event is BYOB. Check out www.texaswrestlingentertainment.com for details and further announcements for all TWE events.
