ACW's Fathers Day Fury
American Championship Wrestling presented a card filled with surprises Sunday June 18th at the Venue at 800 Lexington. All three championships were on the line and several wrestlers made either their return or debut with ACW.
The show began ring announcer Jeff Houston and referee Michael Shean in the ring, but before Houston could introduce the first match Lemus II interrupted. Lemus II explained that he would not be fighting El Latino again this week, instead he had brought in a Luchadore from Mexico to fight El Latino who had betrayed his Lucha roots. Lemus II then introduced Mr. Muerte. Next El Latino came out and the fight was on. Jeff Houston was joined by commentator Chris Jordan who assisted in calling the match. The two fighters exchanged moves and countermoves in a rapid fire manner typical of Lucha style wrestling. Lemus II remained ringside and took any opportunity available to assist his man Muerte. Despite the outside interference, El Latino was able to presevere and win the match.
After the match, Showtime Summers stormed the ring, attacking all three men. Mr. Muerte and El Latino were able to get out of the ring but Lemus II took a powerbomb that left him stunned on the mat. Summers then grabbed a microphone and proceeded to berate the Hispanic wrestlers and audience members in a tirade filled with racist epithets. He then challenged any wrestler in the back to come out and shut him up. To his surprise, the wrestler to emerge from the back was none other than Simply Luscious, one of the top female wrestlers in the business today. Summers seemed amused but when Luscious challenged him to prove he was man enough, Showtime disdainfully agreed to the match. The match was relatively even to start with Simply Luscious getting in some offense, but in the end, Summers wore her down and gained the pinfall.
The third match was for the ACW Heavyweight Title. Champion Jacob Ladder came out first and forced Jeff Houston to announce the challenger Dragon X as "weighing in at 103 lbs." Despite his size advantage, Ladder was surprised by the quickness and agility of the masked Dragon X. In an amazing upset, Dragon X actually gained the pin and appeared to be the new champion, but ACW Commissioner Rachel Putski came out and announced that since Dragon X was a Luchadore, the match was being contested under Lucha rules which meant that it was a 2 falls out of 3 match, and that the match was to continue. Jacob took advantage of this to assert his dominance over Dragon X. Ladder easily took the third fall and looked to be on the verge of taking the third fall when Tito Sanchez came out and interrupted the count. Tito suffered for his interference as Ladder slammed Sanchez and turned his attention back to Dragon X. Referee Michael Shean showed discretion, recognizing the importance of this fall, and allowed the action to resume. When Ladder executed the The Purgatory Plunge on Dragon X the pin was unavoidable and Ladder escaped with his belt.
Match # 4 was set to be a tag team match for the ACW Tag Titles. When challenger Rudy Russo introduced his partner for the match Martin Styles it was clear that this was going to be a tough match for the Champions the Ragin' Renegades. When Texas Renegade came out alone with both belts it looked even worse. Without partner Johnny Rage, Renegade was forced to defend the belts in a handicap match. Things got even worse for the Renegade when Showtime Summers came out to do commentary. Summers clearly was supporting Martin Styles in this match and berated the Renegade throughout. This was an action filled match which spilled out onto the floor more than once and Summers insinuated himself into the action whenever possible. Texas Renegade fought valiantly but the double and triple team tactics eventually wore him down. When Russo distracted the referee, Summers knocked Renegade to the mat and Styles landed a frog splash from the top rope and a quick as that, ACW had new Tag Team Champions - Mr. Beautiful Rudy Russo and Martin Styles. After the match, the Texas Renegade challenged Summers to a match next month in which, if Summers loses he must wear a sombrero. Summers accepted with the condition that if Renegade loses, he must get his hair cut. It is believed that this is to be the first "Sombrero vs. Hair match" in ACW history.
Following the intermission, Match # 5 was perhaps the most surprising of the night. Familiar music began playing and out came Don Juan of the Texas Treats. Next out was "80's Sensation" Joey Spector. Before these two could do more than exchange a few opening moves a third man emerged from the back. It was Bio-Hazard. Bio-Hazard stopped the match and began insulting the two fighters in the ring, claiming that he could beat them both. Spector & Don Juan agreed and the match suddenly became a triple threat match. At first, Don Juan and Spector worked together against the massive Bio-Hazard, but eventually it became every man for himself. Proving true to his word, Bio-Hazard took advantage of the situation, pile-driving Spector and executing a painful submission maneuver on Don Juan who was forced to tap out.
The Main Event was next. ACW Texas Heavyweight Champion Darin Childs came out first. He reminded fans that he recently competed in both the King of The Death Match tournament and a bloody tables tag match, and that if he can survive that, he could surely face the challenge of One Man. That being said, "One Man" Mike Dell entered the ring. This rivalry of former partners is proving to be an outstanding feud. Childs has given several incredible matches since returning to San Antonio, and Dell is always in the running for match of the night in any event in which he appears. This match was no exception. Darin Childs' number one fan Rachel was ringside to distract Dell, the referee, the bartender and just about everyone else in the building. for the most part though, the match was relatively clean and evenly fought with Rachel only getting involved when her man was in the most peril. These two fighters knew each other very well and each had counters for the other's favorite moves. When Dell was finally able to hit his finisher it was only fate that sent both to the floor. Dell was able to get back into the ring before the 10 count, but Childs was either unable or unwilling to beat the count. Dell was awarded the match, but as all fans know, the title remains with the champion when a match ends in a count-out. Dell got the victory but Darin and Rachel escaped to the back with the belt. This rivalry is far from over.

Big Wrestling Weekend Report - Part 3
TWE Presents "When Worlds Collide"
Saturday June 11th Texas Wrestling Entertainment presented an Incredible Show for a crowd of nearly 200 fans at the Bellaire Baptist Church Gym. While the phrase "Card subject to change without notice" usually does not bode well, but fans were treated to a surprise appearance by none other than Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels who replaced Milano Collection AT who was unable to attend following minor surgery.
The show began with TWE CEO Rudy Boy Gonzalez coming to the ring carrying a plaque. Rudy explained the concept of the "Match of the Year" and that traditionally, the winner of the Match of the Year Award would return to TWE the following year and face the wrestler voted on by visitors to the TWE website (www.texaswrestlingentertainment.com) And that tonight that meant that American Dragon Bryan Danielson was here to accept his award and face Milano Collection AT. Danielson came to the ring at this time and accepted the award. Also introduced at this time was special ring announcer Stan Callahan of www.indywarzradio.com who in turn introduced the referee for the evening, Rick Porter.
The first match featured two wrestlers who had impressed fans the day before at the Splashtown show; TJ Cannon & Jason Havoc. These two newcomers to San Antonio continued their battle in a match so hard hitting that fans rose to their feet in appreciation at the end when Cannon pinned Havoc.
The show didn't let up with the second match either. Stan Callahan introduced two more fighters who were new to local fans, but will surely be welcome to return. Cervantes the Vampire faced Xtreme Bulldawg Rexx Reed. These two wrestlers kept the action going with some very impressive wrestling. In the end, the larger Rexx Reed gained the victory over the Latin Vampire.
At this point, the news that Milano was unable to attend was announced and refunds were offered to anyone who wished. Not one fan responded. When Danielson came out, he stated he had come to defend the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Title and that he felt he should defend it. Knowing that there were some excellent wrestlers in the locker room, he challenged anyone from the back to come out. When Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels appeared through the entrance the crowd went wild. The two agreed to face off for the ROH title in the main event later in the evening.
Still stunned by this development, the fans settled in to a women's match between probably the two best female wrestlers in Texas not named Jazz. Vicki and Simply Luscious squared off in an exciting, highly competitive match which was won eventually by Vicki.
Next on the card were two other newcomers to TWE. Nikko faced Brett Anthony who last appeared in San Antonio nearly 10 months ago. These two provided fans with yet another hard hitting match. Despite getting in his share of offense, Brett was eventually worn down by the more aggressive Nikko.
The fifth match was a tag match featuring the team of Bigg Dogg and Mr. Beautiful Rudy Russo against Russo's former partner El Latino and a "Mystery Partner." Russo and Bigg Dogg were clearly surprised when Latino introduced his partner... the CEO Rudy Boy Gonzalez. This rivalry between Latino and both Russo and Bigg Dogg has been going on for most of the year, and it appeared that this time Latino had found a partner who could match up against the rulebreakers and help El Latino gain some measure of revenge. While all for men spent time in the ring, it was Gonzalez who seemed to impress the fans the most. RGB and El Latino gave no quarter in this battle, matching rulebreaking tactics step for step against the team of Russo & Bigg Dogg. Things looked bad for RGB near the end when Bigg Dogg held him and Russo revealed some shears meant to cut Gonzalez's hair, but El Latino made the save and RGB made the pin on Bigg Dogg.
The next match was for the # 1 contender to the TV title. Brett Thunder faced Martin Styles. These two men clearly do not like one another and although Thunder has recently been booed by fans, tonight the fans supported him fully against the cocky Styles. The fan's support was not undeserved as Thunder proved to be the better wrestler on this night.
Following the intermission, Stan Callahan announced the next match was a tables match for the Texas Tag Team Titles. To win this match a team has to put both of their opponents through a table. First out of the back were the challengers The Children of Pain - Jacob Ladder & Darin Childs accompanied by the lovely Rachel Putski. The COP immediately went to work setting up tables around and in the ring. Next out came the champions, Skitzo and Hector Navarro. Two months ago, when these two teams met for the first time to name a champion, it was called a "Match of the Year" candidate. This meeting took the battle to an entirely new level. The challengers, no strangers to violent matches, having recently competed in the King of the Death Match show may not have been prepared to see the young students of the Texas Wrestling Academy raise their own level of violence. Early in the match, Darin Childs put Navarro through the first table. Shortly thereafter a crazed fan had to be removed from the gym after attacking Rachel. It is unclear if this is the same fan who attacked Rachel during an earlier match between these two teams. When Jacob Ladder pulled a steel ladder from under the ring, the match took a turn that shocked and amazed fans. When Skitzo missed Ladder and landed through a table the match appeared over but Referee Rick Porter clarified that in order to win you have to "physically put the man through a table" so the match continued. As the champions recovered from their hard hits, they mounted a comeback. First Skitzo put Childs through a table, then Navarro put Ladder through a table. As the champions celebrated their victory, the bloody Children of Pain gathered themselves, retreating to the back to plan their next run at the titles.
The next match was for the TWE Heavyweight Title. Challenger Jared Steele was the clear fan favorite as the crowd seemed to not remember Champion Mike Foxx's last great match in San Antonio against then AWA World Champion Steve Corino last December. Foxx didn't seem to care what the fans felt or wanted. These two big men battled hard in and out of the ring with each taking the advantage for periods of the match. In the end however Mike Foxx was able to steal the win when he got the three count on Jared Steele while using the ropes for leverage. By the time the referee worked out what had happened, Foxx was long gone.
Finally it was time for the Main Event. In typical ROH fashion the two combatants respectfully shook hands in a show of good sportsmanship. A quick series of holds and reversals was met by applause from the appreciative fans. When one fan yelled out derisively "another hip toss" Christopher Daniels turned to him "Sir that was an arm drag not a hip toss. If you're gonna heckle, at least get it right." That out of the way Daniels and Danielson proceeded to present a clinic of mat wrestling which words cannot adequately describe. Submission holds, moves and counter moves thrilled the crowd for over 30 minutes in what will go down as a classic for San Antonio fans. When American Dragon finally gained the pinfall, the ovation began and did not let up for almost ten minutes as first Danielson and then Daniels thanked the crowd. Rudy Boy Gonzalez was called into the ring and thanked both competitors for taking part in this great event. Rudy explained that it was their presence here this evening that helped to inspire the other wrestlers in the back to raise there own level of performance. Rudy then restated his pledge to the fans to present the "best wrestling in San Antonio"
In all, from top to bottom, this was an incredible show. Rudy Boy Gonzalez should be thanked by every fan or wrestler in attendance tonight for presenting "When Worlds Collide." With the last minute changes and deals Rudy had to pull off, this may have been the most challenging event in his career, but the end results were clearly worth it.

Big Wrestling Weekend Report - Part 2
TWE at Splashtown... Nothing but QUALITY!
Texas Wrestling Entertainment returned to Splashtown Saturday June 10 in what was clearly more than just a tune up for the big "When Worlds Collide Show" Sunday. For five matches the crowd of weekend revelers were enthralled by the action in the ring. Many of those in attendance may have never seen live wrestling before but they learned quickly, recognizing the entertaining action and enthusiastically cheering or booing the wrestlers involved.
The action got started with a match between the man recently called the best wrestler to come out of the Texas Wrestling Academy in years, Brett Thunder and the man who took his place in the Tag Title Match less than two months ago, Hector Navarro. Thunder clearly still feels that the Championship belt around Navarro's waist belongs around his own. The action was great and in the end, Thunder gained some measure of revenge by stealing the victory.
Next saw Windwalker facing off against Navarro's partner Skitzo. While Skitzo seemed to enjoy talking to the young fans around the ring, Windwalker showed an increased focus and pushed Skitzo in a highly competitive match. As Skitzo began mounting a comeback Windwalker was able to stop the momentum and grab the pin. Referee Rick Porter was unable to spot Windwalker's feet on the ropes and counted the 1-2-3 on Skitzo.
The third match featured the San Antonio debut of two impressive wrestlers. TJ Cannon squared off against the much larger Jason Havoc. TJ was able to combat the size differential with a flurry of high speed moves but Havoc was determined to ground Cannon. Cannon absorbed several very hard blows before reversing a pinning combination and getting the win. Rudy Boy Gonzalez instantly christened TJ Cannon as "The New Upset Kid."
The fourth match-up was a battle of big men as Bigg Dogg faced Cowboy James Claxton. These heavy-hitters went blow for blow for much of the match. The more experienced Bigg Dogg seemed to have the match in hand when the Cowboy was able to land the big boot. Bigg Dogg was unable to recover in time to avoid the pin.
For the main event, the Splashtown crowd was treated to a Texas Tag Team Championship Match. The challengers were none other than Brett Thunder and Windwalker who had each scored singles victories over the Tag Champions earlier in the day. Champions Skitzo and Hector Navarro were not going to just lay down and hand over the titles. All four wrestlers were at their best in this match and referee Rick Porter was hard pressed to keep up with all the action, especially the double-team tactics of the challengers. In the end, Porter was forced to count two pins at once as each of the champions had their challenger's shoulders to the mat.

Big Wrestling Weekend Report - Part 1
MAW Show Results & Notes
Friday June 9 Lucha Libre returned to the Sociedad Cruz Blanca, this time under the new banner of Mexican American Wrestling. If a successful show is one in which the crowd has a great time, these shows have been a resounding success. The overall feeling is that of a block party where everyone is invited. The young fans have a great time mimicking the wrestlers in the ring and the adults have a great time taunting the rudos & cheering the technicos.
The first match saw Muneco Nexus face Santana with special referee Virus. Despite Virus' history of rulebreaking, he called the match evenly and fairly. In the end, however, Santana was able to sneak out a victory. The second match, between El Diablo and Aquaman ended quickly following a dive through the ropes by Aquaman onto El Diablo. Neither man was able to make it back into the ring in time to beat the count and Aquaman needed to be helped to the back. The third match was an exciting match-up of technicos Brindis and Ave Fenix. Both wrestlers were able to display exciting moves thrilling the crowd until Ave Fenix was able to grab the submission victory.
The semi-final match was a mixed tag match of sorts pitting the team of Imperious & Yoko Ono against Mr. Muerte and the exotic La Viagra. This was a 2 falls out of 3 match which featured a great deal of comic moments, mostly centered around the effeminate La Viagra. After splitting the first two falls, all the wrestlers got serious and showed what they were capable of. The final fall went to the team of Imerious and Yoko. During the match it was announced that the next show, on June 23rd, would feature a 10 man battle royal for the MAW championship Title.
The main event was clearly the highlight of the evening. The veteran team of Huracan Ramirez Jr. and Estrella Universal squared off against the rudos Santana Express & Lemus II. All four luchadores showed great skill in the ring splitting the first two falls. In the third fall of the match both teams had difficulty with their teamwork with Lemus II & Santana Express showing some frustration at a moment of miscommunication. But it was the Technicos who had the greatest difficulty eventually costing them the final fall and the match. After the match the surprise of the night occurred as Estrella Universal turned on his long time partner Huracan Ramirez Jr. As Santana Express joined in the beating on Ramirez, Lemus II seemed shocked at the actions of Estrella Universal. Eventually, Lemus II could stand no more of this outrage and physically and verbally put Estrella Universal in his place. In Lucha Libre the lines of good vs. evil, fan favorite vs. rule breaker, technico vs. rudo are clearly defined and Estrella Universal had violated this code. As a result, Lemus II was suddenly greeted by the cheers of the fans setting up a match for the next show of Huracan and new technico Lemus II against Santana Express and new rudo Estrella Universal. The June 23rd show is shaping up to be a monumental one.

Huracan Ramirez Jr. & Estrella Universal vs. Santana Express & Lemus II (win 2-1)
Friday June 9 Lucha Libre returned to the Sociedad Cruz Blanca, this time under the new banner of Mexican American Wrestling. If a successful show is one in which the crowd has a great time, these shows have been a resounding success. The overall feeling is that of a block party where everyone is invited. The young fans have a great time mimicking the wrestlers in the ring and the adults have a great time taunting the rudos & cheering the technicos.
The first match saw Muneco Nexus face Santana with special referee Virus. Despite Virus' history of rulebreaking, he called the match evenly and fairly. In the end, however, Santana was able to sneak out a victory. The second match, between El Diablo and Aquaman ended quickly following a dive through the ropes by Aquaman onto El Diablo. Neither man was able to make it back into the ring in time to beat the count and Aquaman needed to be helped to the back. The third match was an exciting match-up of technicos Brindis and Ave Fenix. Both wrestlers were able to display exciting moves thrilling the crowd until Ave Fenix was able to grab the submission victory.
The semi-final match was a mixed tag match of sorts pitting the team of Imperious & Yoko Ono against Mr. Muerte and the exotic La Viagra. This was a 2 falls out of 3 match which featured a great deal of comic moments, mostly centered around the effeminate La Viagra. After splitting the first two falls, all the wrestlers got serious and showed what they were capable of. The final fall went to the team of Imerious and Yoko. During the match it was announced that the next show, on June 23rd, would feature a 10 man battle royal for the MAW championship Title.
The main event was clearly the highlight of the evening. The veteran team of Huracan Ramirez Jr. and Estrella Universal squared off against the rudos Santana Express & Lemus II. All four luchadores showed great skill in the ring splitting the first two falls. In the third fall of the match both teams had difficulty with their teamwork with Lemus II & Santana Express showing some frustration at a moment of miscommunication. But it was the Technicos who had the greatest difficulty eventually costing them the final fall and the match. After the match the surprise of the night occurred as Estrella Universal turned on his long time partner Huracan Ramirez Jr. As Santana Express joined in the beating on Ramirez, Lemus II seemed shocked at the actions of Estrella Universal. Eventually, Lemus II could stand no more of this outrage and physically and verbally put Estrella Universal in his place.

Texas Wrestling Entertainment News & Notes
Press Release
Rudy Boy Gonzalez issued the following press release today:
Texas Wrestling Entertainment returns to action for a double header weekend Saturday June 10 and Sunday June 11th.
First in conjunction with Nickelodeon and Splashtown waterpark in San Antonio, TWE goes head to head with Nacho Libre. Splashtown is located at 3600 IH 35 North for more information please call 210.227.1400.
Then the count down is on as TWE presents 'When Worlds Collide' Sunday June 11th at 7pm. The Main Event features two of the top indy stars today from around the wrestling world as Ring of Honor World Champion Bryan Danielson defends his title against the young superstar from Japan, Milano Collection AT. This is a $50 ringside ticket anywhere on the East coast, and has been looked at as one of the 'Dream Matches' on the Independent circuit.
Danielson, trained at the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy under the direction of TWE CEO Rudy Boy Gonzalez, Milano Collection was trained by none other than Japanese superstar Ultimo Dragon in the world reknown Toryumon Gym which was based in Tokyo Japan and then later Mexico City. MCAT is now training at the Texas Wrestling Academy under Gonzalez direction and has been making appearances all over the United States including Chikara, NWA-Anarchy, Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Elite to name a few, and has caught the attention of WWE talent scout Al Snow as well as TNA talent scout Terry Taylor. Danielson is no stranger to the WWE offices as he was under a WWE Developmental Contract 6 months into his career. Danielson has traveled the world several times over in his short 6 year career, and is known as one of the most respected athletes to step into the squared circle. QUALITY wrestling??????....it just doesn't get ANY better than this.
Also, known as students, the team of Skitzo and Hector Navarro will need to grow up real fast as the veteran team of Darin Childs and Jacob Ladder will be challenging the youngsters for the TWE Texas Tag Team Titles. This will not be a regular conventional tag team title match. This will be a Tables match. Winners will be declared by having both members of the opposite team dumped through the tables. Both members must be dropped through the tables. Winners get the belts.
Texas Champion Mike Foxx will defend his title against Jared Steel. Foxx defeated former Champion Kazushi late in 2005 and was granted a World title match against AWA World Champion Steve Corino. Corino came out on the winners end, but Foxx came out more determined than ever. They say styles make matches. In 2006 Steel has challenged TWE TV Champion Milano Collection AT 3 times and has lost close matches each time. But in the last several years Steel has gone head to head with Foxx in other areas of Texas for other promotions and has had more success. Steel may have Foxx's number.
Another superstar from the Orient is Sumi Sakai. She meets South Texas Superstar Vicki. Sumi is no stranger to the American audience as she has wrestled for every major promotion on the East Coast including Ring of Honor. Vicki has only been in the pro ranks a couple of years, but has some circles talking. One of the down points of her career was a broken collar bone at the hands of Heather Divine. Vicki came back more determined than ever, vowing vengeance and causing Divine to disappear.
Brett Thunder, who was scheduled to face The Upset Kidd, Spector, in a #1 Contenders Match, to Milano's TV title, is now with out an opponent, as Spector has departed from the highly competitive TWE, and has gone to a more friendlier promotion. Thunder has stated he will face anyone, from anywhere, to prove to the fans that he is the #1 contender to the TWE TV title.
Also, Latino has an open contract to face Biggs Dogg or Rudy Russo. Latino has signed on to the TWE/SPLASHTOWN Wet and Wild II the day before, and will face either Dogg or Russo and then the following day will face the other.
Also, just signed..........Houston native Brett Anthony has been signed to face Nikko, also from Houston. Both individuals are looking at being a part of the WWE try outs in July. Who will be invited. This match will hopefully be used as a stepping stone to that goal.
But first............. a special Match Of The Year Award will be presented to Bryan Danielson for the match up he took part in 2005 vs Great Kazushi in what was entitle, IMPACT. This was a fast paced one on one in which both athletes brought their 'A' game and the fans were treated to 20 non-stop minutes of great action.
$5 pre-sale tickets are on sale right now at the Texas Wrestling Academy, 4306 Naco Pass, or at Get it up Productions 3813 Pleasanton Rd and $8 at the door on the day of the event.

TERRY TAYLOR NAMED NEW DIRECTOR OF TNA TALENT RELATIONS
By: Press Release
6/5/2006 10:40:51 AM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Terry Taylor has been named Director of Talent Relations for TNA Wrestling, it was announced today. Taylor has been living in Atlanta for the past 14 years. He previously worked for WCW and WWE/WWF, and was a wrestler for 17 years before officially retiring earlier this year. "I believe in TNA," Taylor said. "This company is doing big things and I am excited to be part of the team and contributing to the growth, as well as the future of the business as a whole." As Director of Talent Relations, Taylor is responsible for all matters related to TNA's on-air talent, including contract negotiations, management and expanding the company's roster. He will be working out of the Nashville office. "We are excited to have Terry in this important job," said Dixie Carter, president of TNA Wrestling. "We pride ourselves on our roster and want the very best for them. Terry is the perfect fit for relating to and aiding our talent."
This is huge news for anyone even 'thinking' about attending the Terry Taylor Clinic next month.
That last line is courtesy of RBG. At the risk of expressing any opinion that is in any way negative the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene would like to add, that any wrestler who is serious about advancing in this business would be a fool to let his own stubbornness stand in the way of attending a clinic of thimagnitudede.

RCW Wrestlers Play Major Role in XCW's Playaz Ball
Texas Treats Win XCW Tag Titles
Hotstuff Hernandez in Main Event
Saturday night in Denton Texas, XCW presented a VOD/PPV show called Lance Romance's Playaz Ball. RCW based wrestlers played major parts in the success of that show.
The Texas Treats won a triple threat ladder match for the vacant XCW Tag Titles. Don Juan and Chris Marval now have North Texas Gold around their waists. Can South Texas Titles be far behind?
In the Main Event, Hotstuff Hernandez was a surprise replacement for Jacob Ladder who had backed out of his Cage match Title match against Champion Jared Steele. Hotstuff impressed as always and clearly had the advantage over the talented Jared Steele when the referee stopped his pin count on Steele and revealed his allegiances to the Playaz Club.
The Quality of the show and all the Matches as well as the Fan Involvement were first rate. Any San Antonio fans who find themselves in the DFW area in the future should consider attending an XCW event. Check out www.xcwonline.net for details concerning XCW and upcoming shows.

Update on Unconfirmed Dates
Brandon Oliver, owner of River City Wrestling, has indicated to the Scene that date listed in a recent post was not accurate. June 18th had been discussed, but it was decided that the date was not workable, so there will be no RCW show on that date. The August date mentioned is still up in the air. The San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene apologizes if this post has caused any difficulties. Readers should always check the RCW webpage to get the most detailed information. www.rivercitywrestling.net When any date is officially announced that date will be added to the Calendar of Upcoming Events.

End Of Month Notes & Rankings
Through the first five months of this year, the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene has endeavored to to provide local fans with a non-critical source of information concerning recent & upoming events, wrestlers and promotions in the San Antonio Area. For the most part I have met with an enthusiastic response. Several wrestlers and promotions have used my reports in their own web pages and press releases. I have never met a wrestler about whom I didn't think "what a cool guy" afterwards. Maybe I have been lucky there. Recently however, I am becoming more aware that my work is being met with a degree of resentment. If i make a positive statement about one promotion, the others may infer that I am critical of their own promotion. I assure all that this is not my intent. My only goals are to provide information useful to local fans looking for a live event and to give some measure of credit to the workers who risk serious injury to provide entertainment to me and other fans.
This leads to the rankings. Every month I have stressed that the ranking are based not upon who is the best wrestler in San Antonio, but who has worked in the most shows, matches, main events, title matches etc. Most, if not all, of the best wrestlers on the monthly lists work shows all over the state or even the US. Several hold titles in other promotions. Still, anyone who does not consider pro wrestling a competition does not understand the basic nature of the people who choose to enter the business.
It is becoming more difficult to continue this project in the face of such attitudes. I will however continue for the time being in hopes that I can find a way to meet my goals without trampling the egos of anyone involved.
May Rankings
I often joke that if the rankings were based on who the best wrestler in San Antonio is during a month, it would become very boring... January - Hotstuff... February - Hotstuff... March - Hotstuff...
For the month of May, it finally happened. Hotstuff Hernandez is the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene Wrestler of the Month. In the toughest month to date several wrestlers competed in three or more matches. In fact, seven wrestlers accumulated enough points to have earned the status of Wrestler of the Month during January or February. Hotstuff Hernandez earns this position over the Nerdy Boys (who shared the title in February) on the strength of his extending his streak of unbeaten matches in San Antonio during 2006 through 3 matches including a title victory and 2 main events with 1 victory and 1 no decision in a shocking heel turn Saturday.
Congratulations to Hotstuff Hernandez... and to all the wrestlers who give their best to entertain San Antonio wrestling fans.

It is becoming more difficult to continue this project in the face of such attitudes. I will however continue for the time being in hopes that I can find a way to meet my goals without trampling the egos of anyone involved.
May Rankings
I often joke that if the rankings were based on who the best wrestler in San Antonio is during a month, it would become very boring... January - Hotstuff... February - Hotstuff... March - Hotstuff...
For the month of May, it finally happened. Hotstuff Hernandez is the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene Wrestler of the Month. In the toughest month to date several wrestlers competed in three or more matches. In fact, seven wrestlers accumulated enough points to have earned the status of Wrestler of the Month during January or February. Hotstuff Hernandez earns this position over the Nerdy Boys (who shared the title in February) on the strength of his extending his streak of unbeaten matches in San Antonio during 2006 through 3 matches including a title victory and 2 main events with 1 victory and 1 no decision in a shocking heel turn Saturday.
Congratulations to Hotstuff Hernandez... and to all the wrestlers who give their best to entertain San Antonio wrestling fans.

Huge Weekend Report - Part 2
RCW Takes Over Car Show
River City Wrestling made an appearance at the San Antonio Car Show Sunday May 28th at the Airport Convention Center and a crowd of hundreds witnessed 5 top level matches. While many RCW T-Shirts could be seen in the crowd, most of those in attendance had probably never seen live indy wrestling before. Based on the enthusiastic response, this won't be the last time for most of the new fans. The show started with an exciting Fan Lumberjack Strap Match which had been set up the night before between former tag partners Hector Montoya and Mike Dell. One Man Mike Dell is always in the running for Match of the Night and this match was no exception, but it was Hector Montoya who showed the crowd some of the most impressive moves of the afternoon. The crowd was thrilled by the action that went back and forth between the two, and when either went to the floor, the fans with straps stood poised to do their duty. When the dust settled it was One Man Mike Dell whose hand was raised in victory by Referee Alex Marrozos.
The second match showed no let up as the crowd was treated to a Triple Threat No DQ match featuring "The Upset Kid" Joey Spector, Showtime Summers and "The Bling King" Quinten Allen. These three battled dramatically, even bringing out a ladder which was put to good use. None of the wrestlers was able to take the advantage for long. In the end, it was Quinten Allen who was able to extend his winning streak. The Bling King didn't have time to celebrate however, as One Man Mike Dell returned to the ring and nailed Allen. QA was able to escape the ring before absorbing Dell's finisher.
Next the RCW Tag Titles were on the line as the champions, The Nerdy Boys, faced two members of the IPS. Spiro and Chris Marval, who each had scored a pinfall over one of the Nerdy Boys the previous night in the big 8 man elimination tag match, figured to be ready to score the pin in a title match. The Nerdy Boys were not ready to give up so easily as they withstood the assault of the larger opponents. Despite receiving a tremendous beating at the hands of the rule breakers, Johnny Ender and Kris Kronie were able to prevail and show the doubters in the crowd who the Tag Champs are.
The fourth match would have been a main event anywhere in Texas as Fast Eddie Vegas renewed his rivalry with Hotstuff Hernandez in a battle for Hotstuff's RCW Heavyweight Title. In this, the third rematch since the classic first meeting of the two last February, Fast Eddie showed the determination that has made him a #1 contender. Despite having to deal with Eddie in the ring, Hotstuff also had to deal with Commissioner Yebisu, Chris Marval & Spiro on the outside. Hotstuff, who had on the previous evening proclaimed his unwillingness to share the title of "Superstar" with anyone, didn't show any signs of letting up. As might be expected, Hotstuff dominated the smaller Vegas early until Eddie was able to turn the tables. It appeared that Eddie was finally poised to take the title as he climbed the corner ringpost when Danny De La Paz from the movies "Boulevard Nights" and "American Me" ran to ringside, pushing Eddie, and causing him to fall from his perch. Hotstuff seized the advantage at this point and slammed Eddie for the pin.
The Main Event was the Tables Match that had been set up the night before between Don Juan of the IPS and Ikaika the Smashing Machine. This was a violent match between two former friends who now hate one another. Commissioner Yebisu was ringside again to assure his man had an advantage, but those who saw the last match between Don Juan and Ikaika know that the big Hawaiian wasn't going to let anyone get in the way of him punishing Don Juan. Both men worked on inflicting damage to their opponent for a long time with neither setting the table. No one wanted a quick finish for this one. The object was clearly pain before victory. The action spilled out into the crowd as spectators had to be moved back from the pair of combatants. Eventually the table was set up and Ikaika slammed the bloody Don Juan through the table and gained some measure of revenge against the IPS.
Despite having wrestled less than 24 hours before, and facing the prospect of fighting in front of a crowd made largely of people who had never been to an RCW show before, the wrestlers and other members of the RCW Team seized the opportunity and presented a first-rate show, winning countless new fans for sure. Brandon Oliver and all of the RCW crew should be applauded for bringing QUALITY wrestling to people in San Antonio.

The show started with an exciting Fan Lumberjack Strap Match which had been set up the night before between former tag partners Hector Montoya and Mike Dell. One Man Mike Dell is always in the running for Match of the Night and this match was no exception, but it was Hector Montoya who showed the crowd some of the most impressive moves of the afternoon. The crowd was thrilled by the action that went back and forth between the two, and when either went to the floor, the fans with straps stood poised to do their duty. When the dust settled it was One Man Mike Dell whose hand was raised in victory by Referee Alex Marrozos.
The second match showed no let up as the crowd was treated to a Triple Threat No DQ match featuring "The Upset Kid" Joey Spector, Showtime Summers and "The Bling King" Quinten Allen. These three battled dramatically, even bringing out a ladder which was put to good use. None of the wrestlers was able to take the advantage for long. In the end, it was Quinten Allen who was able to extend his winning streak. The Bling King didn't have time to celebrate however, as One Man Mike Dell returned to the ring and nailed Allen. QA was able to escape the ring before absorbing Dell's finisher.
Next the RCW Tag Titles were on the line as the champions, The Nerdy Boys, faced two members of the IPS. Spiro and Chris Marval, who each had scored a pinfall over one of the Nerdy Boys the previous night in the big 8 man elimination tag match, figured to be ready to score the pin in a title match. The Nerdy Boys were not ready to give up so easily as they withstood the assault of the larger opponents. Despite receiving a tremendous beating at the hands of the rule breakers, Johnny Ender and Kris Kronie were able to prevail and show the doubters in the crowd who the Tag Champs are.
The fourth match would have been a main event anywhere in Texas as Fast Eddie Vegas renewed his rivalry with Hotstuff Hernandez in a battle for Hotstuff's RCW Heavyweight Title. In this, the third rematch since the classic first meeting of the two last February, Fast Eddie showed the determination that has made him a #1 contender. Despite having to deal with Eddie in the ring, Hotstuff also had to deal with Commissioner Yebisu, Chris Marval & Spiro on the outside. Hotstuff, who had on the previous evening proclaimed his unwillingness to share the title of "Superstar" with anyone, didn't show any signs of letting up. As might be expected, Hotstuff dominated the smaller Vegas early until Eddie was able to turn the tables. It appeared that Eddie was finally poised to take the title as he climbed the corner ringpost when Danny De La Paz from the movies "Boulevard Nights" and "American Me" ran to ringside, pushing Eddie, and causing him to fall from his perch. Hotstuff seized the advantage at this point and slammed Eddie for the pin.
The Main Event was the Tables Match that had been set up the night before between Don Juan of the IPS and Ikaika the Smashing Machine. This was a violent match between two former friends who now hate one another. Commissioner Yebisu was ringside again to assure his man had an advantage, but those who saw the last match between Don Juan and Ikaika know that the big Hawaiian wasn't going to let anyone get in the way of him punishing Don Juan. Both men worked on inflicting damage to their opponent for a long time with neither setting the table. No one wanted a quick finish for this one. The object was clearly pain before victory. The action spilled out into the crowd as spectators had to be moved back from the pair of combatants. Eventually the table was set up and Ikaika slammed the bloody Don Juan through the table and gained some measure of revenge against the IPS.
Despite having wrestled less than 24 hours before, and facing the prospect of fighting in front of a crowd made largely of people who had never been to an RCW show before, the wrestlers and other members of the RCW Team seized the opportunity and presented a first-rate show, winning countless new fans for sure. Brandon Oliver and all of the RCW crew should be applauded for bringing QUALITY wrestling to people in San Antonio.
