End of Month Report and Rankings

So much to cover! No month in memory has seen so much action. New champions include Lemus 2 as the first MAW Heavyweight Champion, in ACW One Man Mike Dell took the Texas Title from Darin Childs and Johnny Rage replaced Martin Styles as Rudy Russo's Tag Champion Partner, in PWI Blue Angel defeated Ricky Rhodes for the US Title and the Hooligans Bull Harley and Crazy Jimmy took the Tag Championship, and perhaps most impressive of all, Brett Thunder took the TWE TV Title from Milano Collection AT. Is Thunder ready to pay the debt to the CoP? Congratulations to all the new and the current champions!

Several wrestlers crossed promotional lines this month, sometimes overcoming personal issues to do so for the betterment of their own careers and for San Antonio Wrestling. Don Juan, Gator, Bigg Dogg, Hector Navarro, Skitzo and Rudy Boy Gonzalez all surprised fans by turning up at shows and should be applauded. The Promoters of TWE, ACW and RCW all deserve praise for opening lines of communications that had been closed for a long time.

As the top promotions step up their games, the emerging promotions also impressed fans. With more wrestling than ever taking place in San Antonio, its debatable whether we have reached the point of "Too Much Of A Good Thing."

Despite some of the best wrestling in Texas taking place right here in SA, the mainstream media continues to miss the point. The San Antonio Current wasted several pages and a cover on 2 backyard promotions. As both of these promotions have been running shows for years, the stories were neither news nor worthy of attention. The San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene strongly encourages fans to support only those shows that feature trained professional wrestlers.

For the first time in the history of The Scene's rankings, there are repeat winners in TWE Tag Team Champions Hector Navarro and Skitzo. By successfully defending their titles in 2 TWE shows and in their invasion of ACW, Navarro and Skitzo are becoming dominant performers. Congratulations Champs!
