TWE Show News & Results

Texas Wrestling Entertainment presented an entertaining show at the Bellaire Baptist Church Gym Saturday April 8th. Despite a questionable decision to issue an open challenge to The Texas Treats by way of announcing an appearance and the abscences of star Milano Collection AT, who was competing at the Super 8 Tournament in Delaware, and of announced guest Sika, who ran into transportation problems, the show became more about who was there rather than who wasn't. (long sentence, huh?) The surprise return of newlyweds Darin and Rachel Childs along with the revealing of Tito Sanchez as El Latino's mystery partner were among the many highlights of the show. On top of this, the TWE Texas Tag Team Titles were up for grabs and ended up being won by a team that didn't even start the event as a team.

The show began with an appearance by Darin Childs and his new bride Rachel who were greeted enthusiastically by the crowd. Darin came out with the line of the night. "I'm here tonight for two reasons: It's an hour from my home and I need the paycheck." Great line Darin. The two then joined the crowd to watch former Rock-n-Roll Nightmare partner Spector in his match with Chris Cody. Spector did not seem interested in exchanging pleasantries with his ex-partners. Unfortunately for Spector he was not able to put on his finishing move as Cody was able to force the submission.

In the second fight, Cowboy James Claxton was able to get the pin on Hector Navarro in a match where the crowd seemed evenly divided on whom to support. In the final match before intermission, Rudy Boy Gonzalez defeated Sika's Protege Bulldozer Graham. After the match, Graham called out RBG and said that next time Graham wouldn't be coming alone. Rudy responded by pointing out several fans who would be able to back RBG at the next event. The most promising prospect was a young man known only as "The Natural."

After the intermission was the scheduled Texas Tag Team Title Match. However the Texas Treats had made it clear that they had no intention of appearing at this or any TWE event. Referee Rick Porter and TWE CEO Rudy Gonzalez declared the titles vacated. As the challengers, Skitzo and Brett Thunder lobbied to be given the belt, the Children of Pain, Darin Childs and Jacob Ladder made their way to the ring accompanied by Rachel. Rudy agreed to make the match. All the competitors were at the top of their games and the fans were treated to a classic. Unfortunately Brett Thunder was injured when he was thrown from the ring and had to be helped to the back, leaving Skitzo to battle alone. The veteran duo of Ladder and Childs spent several minutes pounding on Skitzo until it seemed the youth would have to give in the quest for gold. Suddenly Hector Navarro emerged from the back and took the position in Skitzo's corner hollering for the tag. Referee Rick Porter allowed the match to continue and eventually Skitzo made the tag and Navarro unleashed a furious attack on Ladder and Childs. In the end, Navarro and Skitzo gained the victory. As the Children of Pain took their anger out on the pair, Brett Thunder returned to help clear the ring. Afterwards, Thunder tried to take the belt from Navarro, claiming that the title was his since he started the match. Skitzo and Navarro disagreed and left with their new title belts. Brett Thunder was left alone in the ring to wonder about the chain of events.

In the Main Event, a tag team grudge match, Big Dogg and "Mr. Beautiful" Rudy Russo faced Russo's old partner El Latino and a "mystery partner." Latino revealed his partner to be 20 year veteran Tito Sanchez, the man who had originally trained El Latino in the sport. Russo avoided his former Latin Alliance partner for most of the match. Eventually the frustration for Sanchez and Latino became too much for the pair to handle and Referee Rick Porter was knocked to the mat. Porter declared the team of Big Dogg and Russo the winners by DQ. This did not sit well with El Latino who had only managed to get in 3 punches on Russo during the match. Latino demanded that RBG come out and make a match where Russo could not run. Gonzalez agreed to make a Lumberjack Match for the next event.

In all, the card was a very entertaining night. The Tag Title Match had everything needed to be considered a match of the year contender. the next Gym Wars Event was announced for May 14th at the Bellaire Baptist Church Gym. In observance of Mother's Day, there will be special admission for mothers who attend. The main event Lumberjack Match between El Latino and Rudy Russo and an appearance by former WWE Superstar Wild Samoan Sika have already been announced.
