TWE News - Hector Navarro Injury Report
Rudy Gonzalez sent me the following information today and asked me to repost it here. Obviously our thoughts are with the Navarro family at this time:
TWE regrets to announce the 8/20 Gym Warz was canceled in large part due to an injury that was suffered by TWE star Hector Navarro.
Two weeks ago Navarro contracted a type of Staph infection, and it had been thought to have been treated. During a match in Del Rio Texas, Navarro then injured his left thigh, and had what doctors had determined a pull, and slight tear of his Quad muscle, and he was given instructions to rest.
Navarro was scheduled to appear at the Dollars for Dreams charity event in College Station 8/18, followed by NWA-Anarchy 8/19, then the next day 8/20, Gym Warz in San Antonio.
Navarro did a radio promotion in College Station the afternoon of 8/18, but then his health turned for the worse through out the night. He did not wrestle. On the night after the College Station event, Navarros mother informed TWE CEO Rudy Boy Gonzalez, who along with Skitzo, Brett Thunder, and Big Dogg, Navarros replacement, was enroute to Cornelia, Ga, that Navarrox condition had gotten worse and he was admitted into a College Station Hospital, and is listed in critical condition.
Navarro is under a Doctors care and his condition has slightly improved, but is still listed in critical condition as of Sunday evening. Sunday morning Navarro underwent surgery to relieve preasure on his leg from the swelling.
TWE and its crew wish Hector a speedy recovery. Navarro is a large part of the TWE crew and prayers are going out for him.
Out of respect for Navarro, the 8/20 Gym Warz, is being rescheduled to a later date, as it is an event that he helped build up, and needs to be part of.
TWE apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused to any fans that were looking forward to this event. Sometimes life is more important that wrestling.
Thank You for your understanding.

MAW Show Friday Night
Mexican American Wrestling returned to Sociedad Cruz Blanca Friday night with a show featuring 5 matches. Referees for the evening were Mano Negra and Juan Diego.
The first match of the evening was a return of the rivalry between Berry and Blakk Sabbath. In the first two meetings between these two, the massive Blakk Sabbath has dominated the smaller Berry, but this time, Berry pledged, would be different. Berry actually did a much better job of avoiding the offense of Blakk Sabbath but there was a sense that this was only temporary and when Blakk Sabbath hit Berry with a corner splash it looked like this was going to be a continuation of the dominance previously shown. When Blakk Sabbath went to throw Berry into a second corner, Mano Negra got in the way and was knocked to the mat. Blakk Sabbath went for the cover on Berry but the referee could not make the count. In frustration Blakk Sabbath got up but before he could revive the ref, Tommy Gunn ran in from the back and slammed the massive Blakk Sabbath. By this time Berry was able to get to his feet. While Blakk Sabbath lay in the middle of the ring, Berry managed to climb the corner and hit Blakk Sabbath with a top rope splash. At this point Mano Negra rolled over and counted the pin.
In the second match El Zombi faced Horoscopo. These two veterans battled fiercely and the crowd responded enthusiastically to the action. The two were very evenly matched throughout the battle and when they both went for a cross body simultaneously they were both knocked out of action and were unable to respond to the referee. Juan Diego was forced to call for the bell. The match was declared a no decision.
The third match featured El Ilegal facing Tommy Gunn. Gunn found himself outnumbered as referee Juan Diego clearly favored the rudo Ilegal. Despite these odds, Gunn was able to beat the fast counts and the blatant assistance Diego gave Ilegal. In the end, the referee had no choice but slowly count three when Gunn pinned el Ilegal.
The next match was a tag match with the team of J.J. Wakefield and Bobby Garrett facing Manny Villalobos and his partner Renegade, but Renegade was unable to make the show, leaving Villalobos alone. Manny called to the back to see if anyone back there was willing to join him in this match. Answering this call came none other than Berry, still high of his victory earlier in the evening. Berry proved to be a good partner for Villalobos as the pair showed surprisingly strong teamwork, frustrating Wakefield and Garrett for much of the match. Slowly the rulebreaking pair began asserting themselves and managed to keep Berry in their corner until finally scoring the pin. Afterwards, Villalobos and Berry called for 5 more minutes but Wakefield and Garrett decided it was wiser to retreat with the victory intact.
The main event was a 2 falls out of 3 tag match with the special stipulation that the loser of the final pinfall would have to wear a dress for the next 2 MAW shows. The Technico team of Lemus 2 and Chief Battu faced the Rudo team of Virus and Mr. Muerte. These are 4 of the top wrestlers working Lucha Libre in San Antonio and the match was action filled and hotly contested from before the opening bell as the Technicos jumped the rudos to an early advantage. The personal rivalry between Muerte and Lemus seemed to be an underlying theme of the match as the two showed contempt for one another throughout. The first fall was decided when Lemus pinned Virus as Battu pinned Muerte. In the second fall, the rudos came back strong and Lemus was forced to submit to Muerte as Virus pinned Battu. The final fall was the pivotal one as the loser would be forced to wear the black dress, a stunning sequined number. The fall was particularly heated and as Muerte submitted Lemus, Battu pinned Virus. This left Battu and Muerte to face off. Neither wanted to be humiliated with the loss. Lemus and Virus remained ringside offering support to their respective partners, but Virus found himself distracted by some rowdy fans and was unable to help his partner at a key moment and Battu managed to pin Mr. Muerte. At first Muerte refused the gown, but when Lemus made it clear that Muerte would not get a shot at his championship, Muerte relented and donned the gown. The championship match was signed for the next show in two weeks.
Aside from the championship match, 3 other matches have already been announced. In the main event, the team of the Superheroes return to MAW. Always popular with the children, Spider Man and Bat Man face the team of Poder Boriqua and San Quintin the Clown. Also announced is a tag match between Brindis & Dragon X and La Viagra and Virus. Tommy Gunn returns as well to face Manny Domingo.

Weekend Report - TWA and PWI Shows
Friday TWA Lucha Libre
Texas Wrestling Association returned to the Texas Wolverine All-Star Gym Friday night with a marathon show which featured 5 matches, each with 2 falls out of 3 rules. The referee for the evening was Juan Diego who showed his favoritism for the Rudos in the very first match.
Agua Man faced the veteran Technico Semental in the first match. Despite scoring the first fall on a slow count pin, Semental couldn't overcome the odds as Juan Diego assisted Agua Man to the next two falls.
The second match featured Berry against Ozzy Manson in an exciting match. Manson showed some solid, innovative offense while Berry's resilience allowed him to reverse the momentum, winning the first fall by pin. The second fall went back to Manson who pinned Berry following a particularly hard slam. Berry never seemed to recover during the third fall and when Manson applied an arm submission hold, Berry was forced to tap.
The next match featured a tag match of Rudos versus Rudos. The team of El Zombi and Comando Jr. seemed to have the crowd support based on the respect paid to 30 year veteran Zombi and the incredible athleticism of the mini Commando. The team of El Diablo and Gato Diabolico are two of the best luchadores in San Antonio and were unconcerned with the crowd support. In the first fall, Commando Jr. pinned Diablo following an impressive chain of moves and counters involving all four men. The team of Diablo and Gato Diabolico came back in the second fall scoring a double pin. In the final fall, the referee Juan Diego asserted himself, openly assisting the team of Diablo and Gato Diabolico and then counting the pin.
The fourth match was also a tag match. The Rudos team of El Ilegal and Desertoro faced the Technicos Gato Jr. and Brindis. Gato Jr. and Brindis are extremely athletic and did well in countering the rulebreaking tactics of Ilegal and Desertoro. In the first fall Brindis submitted Ilegal but the rudos came back in the second fall with Ilegal pinning Brindis. In the third fall Juan Diego tried to assist the rudos, but the technicos overcame the odds and Brindis pinned Desertoro.
The main event featured four of the top luchadores in San Antonio. The Rudos Mr. Muerte and Ave Fenix faced the Technicos Lemus 2 and Chief Battu. Muerte & Fenix had some difficulty with their teamwork early, missing some opportunities. The Technicos took advantage of this lack of continuity and scored an early pin when Lemus covered Ace Fenix. In the second fall, the Rudos got their teamwork together and when Battu appeared to be injured in out of the ring action, Ave Fenix was able to submit Lemus. After the fall, Battu left to the back, leaving Lemus to face both rudos alone. The odds were too much for Lemus 2 and in the end, not only was he pinned, but Ave Fenix managed to remove Lemus' mask. Fortunately Lemus was able to cover his face with a towel and make it to the back. This rivalry has been taken to a new level and will undoubtedly continue into the future.

Saturday PWI Show at SPLACH
Pro Wrestling International returned to S.P.L.A.C.H. Sports Bar Saturday Night with six exciting matches. New Alliances were formed, new faces debuted and new champions were crowned. The referee for the evening was Terry Sleaze.
The first match was for the light heavyweight championship held by Dragon X. The challenger was Berry. These two high-flyers wowed the crowd with their skills and it looked as though Berry was set to take his first singles championship but the masked man from Japan managed to reverse the momentum and when he hit a ddt off the send turnbuckle, scored the pin and kept his championship.
In the second match, Blue Angel was defending his US Title against Blaine Steele who came to the ring with his manager The Hustler. The crowd was all over Steele who seemed greatly distracted by the abuse of the fans. Despite the interference of The Hustler, Blue Angel managed to fight through the odds and hit a top rope elbow on Steele and scored the pin, winning and retaining the title.
The third match was a triple threat Lucha match featuring Lemus 2, Mr. Muerte & Atrevido. This was an exciting match with plenty of high impact action. Lemus worked as the Technico and Muerte was the Rudo and Atrevido aligned himself with either wrestler as it seemed to benefit him. When Lemus pinned Atrevido, the emotions between Muerte and Lemus boiled over. The two exchanged words in Spanish and English, setting up a one on one match with extreme rules for the next show (September 23rd)
The next match was for the PWI International Title held by the big Brazilian Mojo. The challenger was J.J. Wakefield who came to the ring accompanied by The Hustler. The match was extremely hard hitting and although it wasn't announced as being no disqualification, the Referee Terry Sleaze allowed the use of chairs and even a table into the ring. The Hustler was unable to help his man when Mojo slammed Wakefield through the table and scored the pin.
The fifth match was supposed to have been a tag match featuring The Hustler and Ryu against the PWI Champion Mad Dog Ken Johnson and Skunk, but since the Hustler had been injured during a home invasion earlier this month, Hustler had brought in a special replacement in the form of Mombasa. The Exotic Mombasa and Ryu took an early advantage on the eccentric Mad Dog and Skunk but slowly the fan favorites began to seize control. When it looked like Mad Dog and Skunk were going to win the match, four men emerged from the back, wearing jerseys proclaiming them the "210 Mob." Blaine Steele, JJ Wakefield, Ozzy Manson and Ricky Rhodes joined Ryu, Mombasa and Hustler in beating down Johnson and Skunk. Things were looking bad for Johnson and Skunk when two more men emerged from the back as Johnny Rage and Renegade rushed in to make the save.
The main event was for the Tag Titles currently held by the team of Ozzy Manson and Ricky Rhodes. The champions didn't come to the ring alone however. The Hustler as well as the other 2 members of the 210 Mob, Steele and Wakefield, joined them ringside. The Challengers, Manny Villalobos and Bobby Garrett didn't have to face the entire group for long as Mad Dog, Skunk, Rage and Renegade joined the crowd of wrestlers surrounding the ring. The balance of power restored, the action remained pretty much inside the ring. The team of Villalobos and Garrett showed outstanding ring work, keeping Manson insider the ring for the majority of the match. The frustration began to get to Rhodes who was unable to get past the referee and help his partner. The champions never really got things going their way and when the wrestlers on the outside of the ring began brawling with one another, referee Terry Sleaze managed to keep his focus on the action inside the ring. As all four men battled inside the ring, Sleaze chose to show some leeway. Recognizing the importance of the title match, and that titles cannot change hands on a disqualification, Sleaze allowed the action to continue and counted 1-2-3 when both members of the champs were pinned by the challengers. As the members of the 210 Mob retreated to the back, the new Champions, Villalobos and Garrett celebrated in the ring with the other wrestlers and with the children in attendance.

The two exchanged words in Spanish and English, setting up a one on one match with extreme rules for the next show (September 23rd)
The next match was for the PWI International Title held by the big Brazilian Mojo. The challenger was J.J. Wakefield who came to the ring accompanied by The Hustler. The match was extremely hard hitting and although it wasn't announced as being no disqualification, the Referee Terry Sleaze allowed the use of chairs and even a table into the ring. The Hustler was unable to help his man when Mojo slammed Wakefield through the table and scored the pin.
The fifth match was supposed to have been a tag match featuring The Hustler and Ryu against the PWI Champion Mad Dog Ken Johnson and Skunk, but since the Hustler had been injured during a home invasion earlier this month, Hustler had brought in a special replacement in the form of Mombasa. The Exotic Mombasa and Ryu took an early advantage on the eccentric Mad Dog and Skunk but slowly the fan favorites began to seize control. When it looked like Mad Dog and Skunk were going to win the match, four men emerged from the back, wearing jerseys proclaiming them the "210 Mob." Blaine Steele, JJ Wakefield, Ozzy Manson and Ricky Rhodes joined Ryu, Mombasa and Hustler in beating down Johnson and Skunk. Things were looking bad for Johnson and Skunk when two more men emerged from the back as Johnny Rage and Renegade rushed in to make the save.
The main event was for the Tag Titles currently held by the team of Ozzy Manson and Ricky Rhodes. The champions didn't come to the ring alone however. The Hustler as well as the other 2 members of the 210 Mob, Steele and Wakefield, joined them ringside. The Challengers, Manny Villalobos and Bobby Garrett didn't have to face the entire group for long as Mad Dog, Skunk, Rage and Renegade joined the crowd of wrestlers surrounding the ring. The balance of power restored, the action remained pretty much inside the ring. The team of Villalobos and Garrett showed outstanding ring work, keeping Manson insider the ring for the majority of the match. The frustration began to get to Rhodes who was unable to get past the referee and help his partner. The champions never really got things going their way and when the wrestlers on the outside of the ring began brawling with one another, referee Terry Sleaze managed to keep his focus on the action inside the ring. As all four men battled inside the ring, Sleaze chose to show some leeway. Recognizing the importance of the title match, and that titles cannot change hands on a disqualification, Sleaze allowed the action to continue and counted 1-2-3 when both members of the champs were pinned by the challengers. As the members of the 210 Mob retreated to the back, the new Champions, Villalobos and Garrett celebrated in the ring with the other wrestlers and with the children in attendance.

Breaking All Of The Rules 2
River City Wrestling returned to Tiffany Billiards with a record-breaking show of special stipulation matches. 336 paid attendance eclipsed the previous record, but attendance records weren't the only things broken on this night. The show started quickly as Ring Announcer Jeff Houston and Referee Alex Marrozos came to the ring and the first match was announced.
The opening match was a three team scramble for the Tag Team Championship currently held by the Shadow Alliance of Wally Darkmon and Joey Spector. The other teams challenging for the titles were the Texas Treats - Don Juan and Chris Marval, and the Nerdy Boys - Kris Kronie and Johnny Ender. Simply put, this match came close to stealing the show. Many in attendance considered it the best opening match of any show this year. The action was non-stop with high impact wrestling from the opening bell. Individuals who had been critical of some of these participants last week should view this match as proof of the commitment and skills of all involved. With the Scramble rules, tags were not necessary, when one man left the ring another would enter. This lead to every possible matchup occurring and several double-team maneuvers involving members of opposing teams working together to team up on members of the third team. All three teams should be commended, but it was the Texas Treats who showed the teamwork necessary to win and when Chris Marval pinned Spector following a vicious double team maneuver, there were new Tag Team Champions. Congratulations to the new RCW Tag Champions Don Juan and Chris Marval, the Texas Treats.
After the match, Hotstuff Hernandez came to the ring accompanied by RCW President Brandon Oliver and RCW Diva Cat. As the 6 men in the ring were about to shake hands, Hotstuff came in and quickly cleared the ring. Commissioner Yebisu, who managed the Treats to victory was not quick enough to avoid a mega-bomb from the RCW Champion. Afterwards Brandon Oliver calmly claimed the tag belts and proclaimed that it was he who controlled RCW, not Yebisu or the IPS or any others.
The second match was for the RCW TV Title and the special stipulation was that this was a Ladder Match. Challenger Fast Eddie Vegas was forced to go at it alone as his manager Yebisu had been helped to the back. This didn't seem to bother Eddie who was as confident as always. Champion Andrew Dalton also came to the ring alone. The crowd was treated to another outstanding match as these two wrestler showed what they were made of. Fans who have questioned Dalton's antics may not be so quick to question his toughness and both he and Eddie used the ladders and chairs to inflict damage on the other. At some time during the match, the ring boards under the mat broke and for the rest of the show, the ring became more precarious. As the two men showed incredible creativity in using the ladders to harm the other it appeared that neither would be able to gain the advantage required to climb the ladder and retrieve the belt. When both men were stunned in the ring, from out of the back emerged JT LaMotta, Dalton's partner in the Hardbodies. LaMotta threw powder in the eyes of referee Alex Marrozos and rushed to the ring. Scurrying up the ladder, LaMotta deftly undid the clasp and quickly retrieved the belt for his partner. LaMotta then rushed to Marrozos and pointed out that Dalton had the belt. Marrozos had no choice but to call for the bell and declare Dalton the winner and still champion.
Following this match, The Texas Treats returned to the ring, apparently to aid their IPS partner Fast Eddie, but when Hotstuff and his entourage came out, fans began to suspect there was more to it. Marval and Don Juan explained that since they had belts it only seemed right that they join forces with the true powers in RCW. Since Eddie didn't win his match, he wasn't good enough to join them. Besides, since Hotstuff, Marval and Don Juan were Mexicans, and Eddie is Cuban he didn't belong. The Treats then proceeded to beat down their former associate. They then turned on the fans who had previously been supportive of them.
The next match was the Fan Strap Lumberjack Match. 12 fans were selected by raffle to participate, they then surrounded the ring. Next the combatants came out. First came Bling King Quinten Allen who was greeted by mixed crowd reaction. The second combatant was the returning JT LaMotta who was appearing in his first RCW match since suffering an injury last month in a show in north Texas. LaMotta showed no signs of being slowed as he and Allen squared off. The two battled in the ring for several minutes before the Bling King was thrown out to the lumberjacks. The fans with straps quickly encouraged him to return to the ring, the first time. The next time Allen went through the ropes he landed on the other side of the ring. The Lumberjacks on that side were far more friendly to the Bling King. The weren't so kind to LaMotta when he landed on that side. Eventually it was JT who managed to gain control, and using the ropes he scored the pin over Quinten.
Following the intermission, the show was set to continue with the fatal four-way match for the RCW Heavyweight Championship held by Hotstuff Hernandez. Before the match began, the challengers were introduced: The Great Kazushi Miyamoto from the IPS accompanied by Commissioner Yebisu, One-Man Mike Dell, and the Hawaiian Smashing Machine Ikaika. Ikaika took the microphone and announced that this match was going to be his last. Ikaika explained that he had some personal issues to deal with and thanked those fans who had supported him and that he hoped to give them a good match. The San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene wishes Ikaika success in his future endeavors in and out of the ring. The four men in this match each asserted themselves physically at different points. There were no alliances as it was every man for himself. Ikaika was the unfortunate recipient of the green mist from Kazushi but managed to kick out of a pin attempt. As Referee Alex Marrozos dealt with action outside the ring, RCW Diva Cat ran into the ring and hit Dell in the groin. The Texas Treats then came in for a quick double team on Dell who somehow managed to kick out of a pin attempt by Hernandez. Hotstuff then grabbed a trash can and hit Dell with it. Placing the can over Dell's head, Hotstuff then hit him with a dropkick from the top turnbuckle. Dell was unable to withstand this and when Hotstuff covered him for the pin, the match was over. Hotstuff Hernandez remains the unbeaten RCW Heavyweight Champion. After the match, both Dell and Kazushi swore to return.
The main event of the evening was next. The announced three way hardcore match featuring Necro Butcher, Homeless Hugh Rogue and JCW Hardcore Champion Rude Boy did not occur as Rude Boy and Violent J of the ICP were unable to make the show and Rogue was not able to get medical clearance after receiving a fractured cheekbone last night in a match against Necro. Rogue was not willing to be left out. He came out in a Referee's shirt and slammed Marrozos. So Hugh Rogue was the special referee for this Tag Team San Antonio Street fight. The first team, Chuy Martinez and Alcatraz came to the ring pushing a shopping cart filled with implements of destruction. Their opponents were Sidd Murder and Necro Butcher. The match started out as a basic tag match with Sidd and Chuy in the ring, but Necro Butcher assured that the formalities wouldn't last long, "I'm gonna tag in once. Only once!" Knowing of Necro's reputation, the team of Martinez and Alcatraz seemed determined to inflict as much damage as possible, keeping Sidd in the ring and Necro on the outside. Sidd put up a valiant fight as his back was sliced up from light tubes but when he finally managed to tag in Necro Butcher the match really opened up. Describing the action in a singles hardcore match is difficult. In a Tag Team match, it is almost impossible. The broken ring from earlier in the show had deteriorated to the point of a two foot deep pit in the middle of the ring. Fortunately, not very much of the action took place in the ring. Hugh Rogue was forced to run from one battle to the other counting pin covers as Alcatraz and Necro were battling in the parking lot and Sidd and Martinez were battling in the crowd. Fans were amazed at the violence of this match and when Necro Butcher finally pinned Chuy Martinez the fans showed their appreciation for all the men in the match.
RCW has yet to announce the next show date, but plans are in the work for a date sometime this month. When details are announced at www.rivercitywrestling.net or on RCW Rampage KCWX UPN2 every Friday Morning at 12:30 AM they well be reprinted here.

Mexican American Wrestling
MAW presented a Lucha Libre show Friday August 4th at Sociedad Cruz Blanca on West Poplar. Fans were treated to six matches with a mix of traditional Lucha style matches and American style wrestling. As usual the crowd was festive and responsive to the action in the ring. The referee duties were split between Mano Negra and Juan Diego
The opening match was a rematch from the previous show as Blakk Sabbath faced Berry. Once again, the smaller Berry tried tenaciously to gain an advantage on the massive Blakk Sabbath. Once again it was to no avail. Berry managed to avoid some of the more violent moves, but was never able to get any offensive momentum. When Blakk Sabbath applied his variation of a cradle piledriver, the match was over, but the beatdown continued. Blakk Sabbath seemed determined to discourage Berry from ever crossing his path again. Blakk Sabbath continued the beatdown until Chief Battu came out to the aid of Berry. Afterwards Berry got on the mike and issued a challenge. Given one more chance in 2 weeks, Berry guaranteed to find a way to change the results.
The second match featured the Lonestar Kid Ricky Rhodes facing local favorite Dragon X. Rhodes seemed very confident that he could easily handle the smaller Dragon X. Rhodes wasn't prepared however for the lightning array of moves possessed by the masked man from the orient. If Rhodes had taken the challenge seriously he might have been successful, but a couple of lazy covers gave Dragon X the opportunity to reverse a pin for the victory.
In the third match, legendary Luchadore El Zombi made his return to MAW. Ave Fenix faced this monumental challenge gallantly, absorbing the crushing blows of the larger Zombi. The fans appreciated the efforts of both competitors and when Ave Fenix was able to apply a wicked submission on the veteran Zombi the fans applauded both wrestlers and their efforts.
The next match featured two veteran luchadores, Horoscopo and Semental. These twp men obviously knew each other well and started with the chain wrestling typical of lucha libre. As the match progressed however, pride became an issue and the moves became more violent and the blows more viscous. Neither men wanted to lose to the other. In the end, it was Semental who earned the victory.
The next match was for the tag team championship held by JJ Wakefield and Bobby Garrett. The challengers were Renegade and Manny Villalobos. This match was contested under 2 falls out of 3 rules and the fans were clearly on the side of the challengers. Wakefield and Garrett allowed the fans' taunts to get to them and lost the first fall as the challengers scored a double pin on the champs. The champs came back quickly and, taking advantage of a distracted referee, struck low blows on Renegade and Villalobos and scored the pin in the second fall. In the third fall, the challengers seemed to have the champions' number and the crowd sensed that the titles could change tonight. The champions seemed to sense this as well so Wakefield pulled out a pair of brass knuckles and clobbered Renegade. The referee spotted this and instantly called for the DQ. The challengers took the match, but the champions kept the belts. After the match, Manny Villalobos challenged the champs to a no DQ match at the next show. The champions did not respond.
The main event featured 4 of the best wrestlers in the area in a best of three falls tag match. The rudo team of Virus and Mr. Muerte faced the technicos Lemus 2 and Chief Battu. This was a back and forth match with all 4 men seeing action. Although the fans were all over Virus, many seemed to enjoy the antics of his partner Mr. Muerte. The technicos are just two very tough men in Battu and the MAW Heavyweight Champion Lemus 2. The first fall was scored when Lemus submitted Virus. In the second fall, Virus was able to ignore the taunts of the crowd and gain a measure of revenge, submitting Lemus. The third fall spilled out into the crowd as all four men seemed determined to punish their opponents. The referee Juan Diego clearly favored the Rudos in this fall. overlooking the rulebreaking tactics which resulted in Chief Battu bleeding freely. With Battu disabled, Lemus was unable to overcome the efforts of the Rudos and was pinned by Virus. It was Mr. Muerte who seemed to get most under Lemus's skin however and after the match, Lemus challenged the masked Muerte to a championship match at the next show in two weeks.

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.

Weekend Report Part 3
River City Wrestling at Hope of Glory
River City Wrestling returned to the Hope of Glory Church Saturday Night with a full card of matches which entertained the fans in attendance and set up several matches for next week's Breaking All Of The Rules II at Tiffany's Billiards. This was a night of surprises and hard hitting action. Before the action began, Ring Announcer Jeff Houston introduced Masada who promised to deliver a match that could not be confused with the type of "Cartoon Wrestling" seen on television. Next out came RCW Champion Hotstuff Hernandez and RCW Owner Brandon Oliver who stated flatly that "we screwed One Man Mike" at the last show. Fans expressed their disapproval, but Oliver clearly didn't care. It was all about showing who runs the show.
Before the first match, Referee Alex Marrozos came out to the fan cheers. The cheers quickly changed to screams of horror as the music of the Hardbodies played and Andrew Dalton emerged from the back. Next out was Don Juan, accompanied by Mr. Yebisu. There was a dance contest between the two. Its hard to say who won, but it can be said that the contest ended in a wedgie for Dalton. When the actual wrestling began it was for Andrew's RCW TV Title. Dalton seemed inspired to gain revenge for the embarrassment inflicted in the dance contest. Despite the comedy elements of the prematch, both of these wrestlers are skilled competitors and were determined to show their skills for the appreciative crowd. When Dalton used the ropes to finally gain the pin, Don Juan's IPS teammate Fast Eddie came out and let Dalton that he had seen enough. Next week at Breaking All Of The Rules II, the TV Title would be defended in a ladder match between champion Andrew Dalton and Challenger Fast Eddie.
The Second match featured Bling King Quinten Allen facing a person from his past. Bigg Dogg, best known for his work in TWE entered the ring to the approval of the fans. Allen and Bigg Dogg had been partners in the past and had feuded as well. This feud resumed now for the first time in an RCW ring. These men impressed the fans with intensity and passion of their battle. The athleticism of Allen against the size and strength of Bigg Dogg proved to be a strong recipe of a match. In the end it was the Bigg Dogg who took the victory.
Following that match, a couple of changes were announced for the main event at BAOTR II between Necro Butcher and Rude Boy for the JCW title. Champion Rude Boy is being accompanied by Insane Clown Posse's Violent J. Not only that, but now the match is a triple threat match featuring "RCW Hardcore Icon" Hugh Rogue.
Match three saw Chris Marval of the IPS with Mr. Yebisu face the Hawaiian Smashing Machine Ikaika. Ikaika controlled the pace of this match as he continues his efforts to rebuild his wrestling to a more mat-based submission style. Intermixing the mat wrestling and the high impact moves the fans have grown to expect from him, Ikaika impressed those in attendance. Chris Marval surprised many by showing he was able to go with that style as well for much of the match. Eventually however, the larger Ikaika was able to wear down Ikaika and gain the victory.
Before the intermission, Jeff Houston introduced to the crowd San Antonio's own Dusty Wolfe who has been wrestling all over world. Before Dusty could make whatever announcement was on his mind, he was interrupted by an individual from the back. "You're not Orton!" was the chant from the fans as the young man, who bore an incredible resemblance to a certain WWE wrestler, made his way to the ring. As it turned out the fans were wrong. No it wasn't Bob or Randy, but Mark Orton. Mark Orton didn't reveal his reason for being there but since Dusty has been called a San Antonio Wrestling legend... Wolfe didn't take lightly to being interrupted and, in his words "Never piss off a man when he's hung over!" Dusty pounded Orton, but Orton came back and stomped Wolfe down to the mat. Fans loudly booed Orton in support of favorite Wolfe. It will be interesting to see where this goes.
Following the intermission, The Tag Championship was up for grabs. The new attitude Nerdy Boys were set to regain the belts they held for most of the last year. Champion Spector came out alone however as his partner Wally Darkmon had been laid out last show by the Nerds in a surprising turn of events. Spector was ready to defend the belts in a handicap match. Instead Fast Eddie came out from the back to offer his help. Spector may have been better off going at it alone, since Eddie made no effort to conceal his contempt for either Spector or for the Nerds. This was a hard hitting match and emotions were very high. The action got scary as Johnny Ender went head first to the floor outside the ring, getting a concussion for his efforts. Spector also suffered a head injury as well as injurying his knee. Despite this frightening moment, the wrestlers still continued the fight. Tempers continued to rise throughout the match and Spector had to battle not only the determined Nerds but his own partner as Fast Eddie and Spector never meshed as a team. Eventually Fast Eddie walked out in disgust. As he did, his fellow IPS members Don Juan and Chris Marval came out and began beating on the exhausted nerds and Spector, resulting in a no decision. Afterwards the Treats revealed that the Tag Titles were up for grab at BAOTR II in a 3 team Tag Team Scramble.
The next match saw One Man Mike Dell set to face the newest member of the International Power Station. Commissioner Yebisu came to the ring with an unknown oriental wrestler, unknown apparently to Yebisu himself who had to ask the man his name. Takeshi was the wrestler's name. The bell rang and Dell finished the man off in less than one minute. Confused, Dell turned his attention to Yebisu who revealed that the man Dell had beaten is not the newest member of the IPS. The lights went out and the music started playing. When the lights came up The Great Kazushi Miyamoto was in the ring. Kazushi took advantage of the surprised Dell and proceeded to beat on him for several minutes. It looked like Dell wasn't going to get any offense in at all until he was able to duck a clothesline and score a tackle on Kazushi. Unfortunately Dell wasn't only battling Kazushi, but Yebisu and all the other members of the IPS. With one member distracting the Ref, and two others working on Dell, Kazushi was able to regain his composure. When Dell returned to the ring he was hit with the Green Mist, blinding him and setting him up for a devastating move from Kazushi. Marrozos turned back to the action and found Kazushi covering the stunned Dell. The pin was counted and the IPS celebrated the victory of their newest member.
In the main event, Heavyweight Champion Hotstuff Hernandez faced the baddest of the Bad Asses in Masada for the title. But this match wasn't really about a belt. Hotstuff, who is a member of the LAX in TNA was facing Masada in a no disqualification match before Masada returned to the Hard Core Mecca of Big Japan Pro Wrestling. Even without the numerous chairs smashed and thumbtacks strewn throughout the ring, even without the action spilling outside the ring and outside the building, this was a viscous match. These two men were fighting for pride. This wasn't "Cartoon Wrestling" by any stretch of the imagination and the fact that both men survived without serious injury is a tribute to how tough they are. When Hotstuff slammed Masada through 4 chairs covers with thumbtacks and gained the pin the match was over, but the show wasn't.
Hotstuff and Masada shook hands as RCW and its fans sent Masada off to Japan. Brandon Oliver called all the wrestlers of RCW to the ring. Explaining that no one man could beat Hotstuff, the championship match at Breaking All Of The Rules II is now going to be a four-way match. With the help of the fans, the four men chosen to be in the match will be the Champion Hotstuff Hernandez, Ikaika, Kazushi, and Mike Dell.

Following the intermission, The Tag Championship was up for grabs. The new attitude Nerdy Boys were set to regain the belts they held for most of the last year. Champion Spector came out alone however as his partner Wally Darkmon had been laid out last show by the Nerds in a surprising turn of events. Spector was ready to defend the belts in a handicap match. Instead Fast Eddie came out from the back to offer his help. Spector may have been better off going at it alone, since Eddie made no effort to conceal his contempt for either Spector or for the Nerds. This was a hard hitting match and emotions were very high. The action got scary as Johnny Ender went head first to the floor outside the ring, getting a concussion for his efforts. Spector also suffered a head injury as well as injurying his knee. Despite this frightening moment, the wrestlers still continued the fight. Tempers continued to rise throughout the match and Spector had to battle not only the determined Nerds but his own partner as Fast Eddie and Spector never meshed as a team. Eventually Fast Eddie walked out in disgust. As he did, his fellow IPS members Don Juan and Chris Marval came out and began beating on the exhausted nerds and Spector, resulting in a no decision. Afterwards the Treats revealed that the Tag Titles were up for grab at BAOTR II in a 3 team Tag Team Scramble.
The next match saw One Man Mike Dell set to face the newest member of the International Power Station. Commissioner Yebisu came to the ring with an unknown oriental wrestler, unknown apparently to Yebisu himself who had to ask the man his name. Takeshi was the wrestler's name. The bell rang and Dell finished the man off in less than one minute. Confused, Dell turned his attention to Yebisu who revealed that the man Dell had beaten is not the newest member of the IPS. The lights went out and the music started playing. When the lights came up The Great Kazushi Miyamoto was in the ring. Kazushi took advantage of the surprised Dell and proceeded to beat on him for several minutes. It looked like Dell wasn't going to get any offense in at all until he was able to duck a clothesline and score a tackle on Kazushi. Unfortunately Dell wasn't only battling Kazushi, but Yebisu and all the other members of the IPS. With one member distracting the Ref, and two others working on Dell, Kazushi was able to regain his composure. When Dell returned to the ring he was hit with the Green Mist, blinding him and setting him up for a devastating move from Kazushi. Marrozos turned back to the action and found Kazushi covering the stunned Dell. The pin was counted and the IPS celebrated the victory of their newest member.
In the main event, Heavyweight Champion Hotstuff Hernandez faced the baddest of the Bad Asses in Masada for the title. But this match wasn't really about a belt. Hotstuff, who is a member of the LAX in TNA was facing Masada in a no disqualification match before Masada returned to the Hard Core Mecca of Big Japan Pro Wrestling. Even without the numerous chairs smashed and thumbtacks strewn throughout the ring, even without the action spilling outside the ring and outside the building, this was a viscous match. These two men were fighting for pride. This wasn't "Cartoon Wrestling" by any stretch of the imagination and the fact that both men survived without serious injury is a tribute to how tough they are. When Hotstuff slammed Masada through 4 chairs covers with thumbtacks and gained the pin the match was over, but the show wasn't.
Hotstuff and Masada shook hands as RCW and its fans sent Masada off to Japan. Brandon Oliver called all the wrestlers of RCW to the ring. Explaining that no one man could beat Hotstuff, the championship match at Breaking All Of The Rules II is now going to be a four-way match. With the help of the fans, the four men chosen to be in the match will be the Champion Hotstuff Hernandez, Ikaika, Kazushi, and Mike Dell.

Weekend Report Part 2
Texas Wrestling Entertainment At Splashtown
Wrestling fans and others enjoying a day at Splashtown were treated to an outstanding card of matches Saturday including two title matches as the wrestlers of TWE presented a show in the Summer Sun. Rick Porter was the referee for all the matches and should be commended for his work this afternoon. DJ Rage provided the sound system and helped to raise the level of excitement among the crowd, many of whom have never seen a live wrestling show before.
The first match paired up Windwalker and Bigg Dogg. These two wrestlers traded the advantage throughout the match. Bigg Dogg's strength and size eventually wore down the smaller Windwalker and gained the pin in this exciting match.
The second match saw Jacob Ladder, accompanied by Rachel, face Cowboy James Claxton. Despite the crowd support, the big Cowboy could not overcome the rulebreaking tactics of Ladder, especially with Rachel distracting the referee. Ladder scored the pin and the two rulebreakers escaped the angry fans. Cowboy seemed determined to meet up with Ladder again, soon.
In the next match, Darin Childs came to the ring accompanied by Rachel. His opponent Rudy Boy Gonzalez came to the ring accompanied by Splashtown Lifeguard # 1. This was a short match as Rudy and Darin faced off only briefly before Darin's partner Jacob Ladder rushed to the ring to assist Darin in pounding on Rudy. When Hector Navarro, Skitzo and Brett Thunder arrived to save Rudy, the trio of Ladder, Childs and Rachel retreated, but not before Rudy announced a six-man tag challenge at the next TWE Gym Warz show on August 20th. Ladder and Childs were instructed to find a partner.
The fourth match was for the Texas Tag Team Championship. The challengers were the team of Rexx Reed (who had impressed TWE fans at When World's Collide) and Seth Shai (who is one of the top indy wrestlers working in Texas.) The champions Skitzo and Hector Navarro have been forced to mature quickly since winning the belts not so long ago. Reed and Shai provided yet another challenge to the young champions as these two big men showed moves often reserved for cruiserweights. But the advantage went to the champions who have been working together for months while the challengers who were tagging together for possibly the first time. When the referee was distracted, the champions were able to make a switch and grab a pin, keeping the belts. Reed and Shai seemed convinced that, given another chance, the titles could be thiers.
The main event was an incredible match for the TWE TV title held by the International Super Model Milano Collection AT who faced the challenge of a determined Brett Thunder. The crowd turned on Milano early backing Thunder in this match. Both wrestlers displayed their incredible skills to the crowd with some of the most athletic maneuvers and hard hitting blows of the day. The advantage went both ways and despite favoring Thunder, the crowd showed their appreciation of Milano's skills as well. At the height of the match, Rachel returned to ringside distracting the referee and allowing Darin Childs and Jacob Ladder to run in and demolish Milano Collection AT. They then dragged the downed Brett Thunder, who had been stunned earlier, over for the cover. When Rick Porter turned his attention back to the ring he could do nothing but count the 1-2-3. Brett Thunder is the New TWE TV Champion! But before he could even think of celebrating, Jacob Ladder admonished him with this warning: "You owe us!"
Congratulations to Brett, but is he prepared for what Ladder and Childs have in store for him? As for Milano, this set back is only a minor one for one of the fastest rising stars in wrestling today. San Antonio fans should follow this young man's career as he continues to move up in the world of professional wrestling.

Weekend Report Part 1
Texas Wrestling Association - Friday Night
On Friday July 28, the Texas Wolverine All-Star Gym at 2000 S. Presa play host to the newest wrestling show in San Antonio. Texas Wrestling Association presented a very successful debut show before a crowd of over 125 who enjoyed 4 classic Lucha Libre Style matches. All matches featured 2 out of 3 falls and the ring announcing was entirely in Spanish. The next show (Friday August 11) is to run in English with more American Style wrestling. The plan is to alternate the two styles every other Friday. The referees for the evening were Mano Negra and Juan Diego.
In match # 1 rudo Muñeco Nexxus faced Agua Man who won two straight falls to take the match. The first fall was by countout following a dive through the ropes by Agua Man on Nexxus. Both men were stunned by this move but the technico recovered enough to get back into the ring in time to beat the 20 count. The second fall ended in a pin as both men seemed to struggle to recover from the earlierdevastationn.
Match # 2 was a tag match featuring the rudo team of El Diablo and Gato Diabolico against technicos Semental and Horoscopo. This match saw the masked rudos jump out to an early lead winning the first fall quickly as Gato pinned Horoscopo. The Technicos came back in the second fall when Semental pinned Diablo. The third fall became very contentious as chairs were used freely. In the end the technicos were unable to overcome the rudos who were aided in their efforts by the referee Juan Diego.
The third match was very exciting as the rudo team of Mini Diablo and Ave Fenix immediately attacked the technicos Gato Jr. and Brindis as they emerged from the curtain. Mini Diablo was easily the most aggressive man in the match as heviscouslyy beat upon both members of his opponents, eventually seizing the first fall with a pin on Gato Jr. The technicos came back in the second fall when the gymnastic Brindis pinned Mini Diablo. In the final fall the Rudos regained their dominance as they unmasked the technicos and easily pinned the pair as they struggled to keep their faces covered.
The final match was a six-man tag match featuring the rudo team Mr. Muerte, Comando and El Ilegal facing Battu, Lemus 2 andImperiuss. This was an exciting match that followed the traditional Lucha Libre patterns. Bothrefereess were in the ring with Juan Diego clearly favoring the Rudos while Mano Negra tried to maintain a more even match. All six men showed some of their best moves in the match and the refs allowed a great deal of leeway in allowing the action to take place. The first fall was keyed when Lemus 2 pinned Ilegal. Ilegal managed to gain some revenge in the second fall when he scored a pin over Battu. The final fall was a free for all and ended only when the rudos were disqualified as Comando unmasked Imperius.
