PWE “Rising Sun Showdown”

May 28, 2005

Tokyo, Japan

Austin Aries vs. Josh Abercrombie

The debuting Josh Abercrombie is recently off a stint of working with IWA:Mid South and tonight faced off against Austin Aries and was dominated from the beginning. Aries finished Abercrombie off with a Fisherman’s Suplex. After the match, Aries got on the top rope and celebrated and motioned that he hadn’t even broke a sweat.

BJ Whitmer vs. Tracy Smothers

Smothers was putting the boots to the much younger Whitmer and also kept nailing him with his trademark forearms. He picked up Whitmer and sent him into the ropes but Whitmer ducked under and hooked Smothers in the Exploder ’98, he picked him up and drove him into the mat. He covered him and the referee made the three count.

The Great Miyamoto vs. Jimmy Jacobs vs. Bobby Bambino vs. Frankie the Face

In a four corner’s match, the hometown boy Miyamoto got the win after he knocked Face out of the ring with a dropkick, misted the eyes of Jimmy Jacobs and then hit a moonsault ala The Great Muta onto Bambino. He covered Bambino and got the win.

Cactus Jack, Mick Foley, came out to ringside on crutches. He slowly got into the ring and received a nice welcome from the respectful Japanese fans. “With a heavy heart, I have to relay this message”. He looked as if he were about to cry, “I no longer can wrestle in this great sport and I wanted to come here to Tokyo, Japan to announce that I am hereby retired from professional wrestling”. Just then, The Franchise’s music hit and out walked The Triple Threat. Douglas almost ran to the ring with a microphone in hand. He got into the ring and right in the face of Foley “Foley, I guess you finally realized what I’ve been saying since day one of PWE – you’re a has-been. You are worthless and you need to get out of my ring right now before I take out your other leg!” Chris Chetti then got in between the two and told Douglas to hold on and to show some respect to the legend of Mick Foley. Chetti got right up into Douglas’ face. Just then Chris Candido came sliding into the ring and nailed Chetti right in the head and began to lay in the punches. Douglas then attacked the now retired Mick Foley! Candido then grabbed the microphone and said “You’re looking at the real Triple Threat Chetti; you are just some lame ass kid who thought he had a spot. As far as I’m concerned you can join Foley on the retired list as well!” Douglas, Candido and Credible then stood together and threw up the Triple Threat pose.

Just as the Triple Threat was leaving the ring, Chetti grabbed a microphone, “Douglas you are a spineless asshole and tonight I want you in the ring, you motherfucker!” Chetti threw down the microphone as Douglas laughed in the aisle way and mouthed ‘you got it kid’.

Donovan Morgan vs. Bobby Eaton

The tag team legend Bobby Eaton has now joined the PWE roster and faced off against “Technical Excellence” Donovan Morgan tonight. Eaton was the biggest challenge that Morgan has faced thus-far but he somehow came out on top and finished off Eaton with a Swan-Dive Splash off the top rope which he likes to call the “Excellent Execution”.

Chris Chetti came back out to the ring and stood in the middle and demanded that Douglas get out here right now and face him. It didn’t take long until Douglas came out but he was also accompanied by the Triple Threat.

Chris Chetti vs. Shane Douglas

Even though Chetti was full of fire and hit Douglas with a few suplexes, he couldn’t overcome the numbers game. Chetti hit a head-and-arm suplex and went for the cover, but Justin Credible jumped up onto the apron and distracted the referee. Chetti went over to knock Credible off the apron but from behind Candido snuck in the ring and hit Chetti over the back with a steel folding chair! Chetti fell back and was rolled up by Douglas who pulled the tights. The referee turned around and made the pinfall.

Bonus DVD Material: Jushin “Thunder” Lyger was shown warming up for his match later on tonight. Christopher Daniels comes running in and attacks Lyger! He lays in some fists to the top of his head. He then starts to pull on the mask! He almost has it all the way off but luckily Steve Corino came in and ran him off.

Petey Williams vs. The Sandman

Williams is now sporting new gear which includes purple trunks, a sparkly jacket and sunglasses. On the back of both the tights and jacket it says “Hollywood”. Williams tried to outwrestle The Sandman but it was countered by straight brawling. Sandman opened up Petey’s forehead and he started bleeding buckets. Sandman went to grab the Singapore Cane but was caught with a low blow. Williams then picked up the cane and swung it and hit Sandman not once, not twice but three times over the head. He then covered Sandman and put his feet on the ropes and scored the upset victory.

Steve Corino vs. Alex Shelley

In what could be the sleeper match of the night, Corino faced off against the up and coming Alex Shelley. Shelley went to hit the “It Came from Japan” but Corino reversed it and knocked Shelley down with a clothesline. Both men were down, they got up at an eight count and Corino made his comeback. He knocked Shelley down three times with punches and then hit him with a spinebuster. He covered him and only got a two count. Corino then signaled for the end. He hooked Shelley with the Old School Expulsion but he slipped out and swung at Corino. He ducked and then hooked him and hit the Northern Lights Bomb to get the one-two-three!

Christopher Daniels then ran out and attacked Corino. Both he and Shelley started putting the boots to him. Jushin Lyger then ran out and ran both men off.

PWE Tag Team Championship: Ace Steel & Colt Cabana © vs. Kevin Steen & Mike Awesome

Awesome looked to have everything wrapped up for his team after hitting the Awesome-Bomb on Ace Steel but for some reason Kevin Steen tagged himself in and went for the pin. Awesome got mad and pulled him off and the two started having a shouting match at each other. Steen pushed Awesome and then was met with a kick to the stomach. Awesome then picked up Steen and hit him with an Awesome-Bomb! Cabana came in and made the pin and the ref made the count.

Bonus DVD Material: Rob Van Dam is shown walking into his dressing room after coming from the catering room. He has a cup in hand and walks through the door. The room is a complete mess and it looks as if his bag has come up missing. Van Dam threw his cup down and ran out of the room.

PWE Heavyweight Championship: Christopher Daniels © vs. Jushin Lyger

The Main Event lasted nearly 40 minutes and could quite possibly be the best match in the history of PWE. Christopher Daniels went to hit the Best Moonsault Ever but missed. Lyger then got on the top rope and hit a beautiful Shooting Star Press. He hooked the leg and the ref made the count but he only got two. Lyger picked up Daniels and hooked him for the Lyger Bomb but he countered and hit a STO. Daniels went for the pinfall but only could get a two count. Daniels started to get frustrated. He sent Lyger off the ropes and threw a clothesline but it was ducked and he was met with a flying forearm from Lyger. Lyger picked him up and then hit the Lyger Bomb! Out from the back came Whipwreck and Cross, they got on the ring apron and distracted both the ref and Lyger. Daniels took this opportunity to get up and nail Lyger across the back of the head and then he turned him around and hit him with Angel’s Wings. He covered Lyger and got the three count and has held onto his title.

After the match, Daniels got a microphone, “Let me be the first to introduce you all to the first ever PWE WORLD Champion!” Daniels then threw down the microphone and started laying in the boots to Lyger. He continued his assault until Steve Corino came running down and ran the Prophecy off.

Our next show will be held on June 24th, 2005 from Kyoto, Japan and will be called “The Last Rites”. Mike Awesome will face off with now former partner Kevin Steen. Austin Aries will take on British Sensation Jonny Storm. Christopher Daniels will be in attendance as well but will he have to defend his title?

PWE “The Last Rites”

June 24th, 2005

Kyoto, Japan

Steve Corino came to the ring, he had a microphone in hand “Christopher Daniels, tonight I want you in this ring for the World Heavyweight Title”. He went on to say, “You tried to humiliate and disrespect a Japanese Legend in Jushin Lyger and I will not tolerate that”. Corino looked to be getting furious at this point, “So Daniels you get your ass out here right now so I can hurt you and take your title!” Steve Corino waited for a few seconds but there was no answer. “Alright fine, I should’ve expected this from a coward like you. If you won’t come to me, I’ll just have to come to you”. Corino then dropped the microphone and left to the back.

(1) “Technical Excellence” Donovan Morgan defeated Josh Abercrombie

Abercrombie hit a lionsault off the middle rope and looked to have the pin but Morgan kicked out. Abercrombie picked up Morgan and went for a DDT but he held onto the ropes and Josh hit hard. Morgan then picked him up and hit a Northern Lights Suplex for the win.

(2) Garuda defeated “Spyder” Nate Webb

The premier understudy of Hayabusa made his debut and picked up the victory against Nate Webb when he hit a 450 splash. The crowd gave him a warm reception after his amazing performance.

Bonus DVD Material: Rob Van Dam is shown walking around the backstage area as he walks into a bathroom where Jerry Lynn is standing washing his hands. Rob Van Dam attacks and the two brawl in the bathroom until security runs in and separates them. Rob Van Dam kept yelling that this wasn’t over.

(3) Joey Matthews defeated The Great Miyamoto and Jason Cross in a 3-Way Dance

Miyamoto had the match won as he hit a moonsault onto Cross but Matthews came in and threw him out of the ring and covered Cross himself and used the ropes to his advantage to pick up the win.

(4) Ace Steel and Colt Cabana defeated Danny Doring and “Sexxxy” Eddy Parks to retain the PWE World Tag Team Championship.

Doring and Parks made their comeback and Doring hit the Danaconda Legdrop onto Cabana but then tagged out instead of getting the pinfall. Parks came in and picked up Cabana but he was caught with a boot to the gut. Colt then hooked Parks and hit him with Colt 45. Steel came in and knocked Doring off the ring apron. Cabana covered Parks and got the three count to retain the titles.

(5) “No Gimmicks Needed” Chris Candido defeated Bobby Bambino

After what was basically a squash match, Chris Candido got the victory after hitting a flying headbutt off the top rope. After the match, Chris Chetti came down to the ring and the two men brawled out of the arena.

The World Heavyweight Champion, Christopher Daniels, finally made his way out to the ring. He held his belt proudly and jumped up into the ring and gave a smirk to the crowd. He stepped in and demanded a microphone, “Steve Corino, what makes you think that you are worthy of my belt? What makes you think that I’d give you a shot? Who do you think you are? Steve Corino, tonight I will face you in this ring but it won’t be for the gold.” The crowd booed as Daniels seemed to laugh, “Maybe someday you’ll be big enough to hold my jock and you might just get a title shot but until then – it’s going to be Non-Title for you”. Daniels dropped the microphone and posed with his belt before leaving the ring.

(6) “Sheer Perfection” Austin Aries defeated Jonny Storm

In a great back and forth match, Aries came away with the victory after Storm missed a moonsault off the top rope. Both men got to their feet at the same time and Storm tried to run at Aries but he sidestepped him and he hit the turnbuckle. Storm stumbled out and was hooked in the Aries-Plex. The referee went down and made the three count.

(7) Mike Awesome defeated “Mr. Wrestling” Kevin Steen

Last month these two were a team and had some problems and it ended up with Awesome delivering the Awesome-Bomb onto Steen. Tonight was much in the same as Awesome picked up the victory when he hit the Awesome-Bomb but this time it was off the top rope. Awesome stood above Steen after the match and yelled that he wasn’t in his league and to go back to Canada.

(8) Jushin “Thunder” Lyger defeated Alex Shelley

In what could be called the match of the night, Lyger defeated Alex Shelley when he hit him with the Lyger Bomb. This match saw lots of near falls and reversals and both men received a standing ovation after the match. Lyger extended his hand for a handshake but Shelley just blew him off and left the ring and headed to the back.

Bonus DVD Material: A hype video was shown of a new tag team coming to PWE. The team is of Perry Saturn and John Walters. They say they are coming after the tag belts and nothing will stand in their way.

(9) “The King of Old School” Steve Corino defeated “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels in a Non-Title Match.

In the Main Event of the night, Steve Corino defeated PWE World Heavyweight Champion Christopher Daniels after Samoa Joe shockingly debuted and helped him to get the pin. Joe came down while the referee was down, Daniels was going for some powder in his trunks but then Joe knocked it out of his hands and it flew back into his face. Corino then hit him with his version of Daniels’ finisher the Angel’s Wings to get the win.

After the match, Daniels started throwing chairs at ringside. He pushed down the ring announcer and took his microphone, “Corino you got lucky! You had to have help from that overgrown buffoon standing right next to you”. Samoa Joe sat on the ropes and opened them up giving Daniels an invitation to step into the ring. “Oh, you’d like that wouldn’t you Joe? Two on one, that’s your kind of game. Well, let me tell you what, tomorrow night you two have a match. I’ll go out and find a partner and then we’ll see how even the odds are. And Steve, as far as I’m concerned, you’re never going to get a shot at this belt and that’s the gospel according to the Fallen Angel”. Daniels dropped his microphone and left while Joe and Corino played to the fans.

PWE “Nagasaki Nightmare

June 25h, 2005

Nagasaki, Japan

Jimmy Jacobs defeated Arik Cannon

In the opening contest of the night, Jacobs defeated the challenge of Arik Cannon. Jacobs got the win after hitting Cannon with the Contra Code.

Chris Chetti came out to ringside followed by Team Chetti. He got into the ring, “Chris Candido you son of a bitch, get your ass out here right now so I can make you tap”. He didn’t have to wait too long as “Back in Black” by ACDC hit and out walked Chris Candido. He walked slowly to the ring and got in, Chetti attacked! The two brawled for a little while until security came in and broke it up.

Paul Heyman then came to ringside, “Okay you two want each other so bad, well I’m going to let you have each other, but not right now. I will not have you disrupting my show. Later on tonight, you two can go at it all you want” Heyman then left as security escorted both men to the back.

The Canadian Connection (Bobby Roode & Johnny Devine) defeated Balls Mahoney and The Sandman

Everything looked to be going well for the team of Mahoney and Sandman but just then the referee got knocked out by a misplaced sidekick. Mahoney then picked up Devine and nailed him with the Nutcracker Suite. He went for the pin but there wasn’t any ref to count. He got up and tried to revive the referee but when he turned around, he was met with a huge chairshot from Bobby Roode. Roode then put Devine on top of Mahoney and knocked The Sandman off the apron and into the guardrail. The referee turned over and made the pinfall giving the Canadians the upset win.

BJ Whitmer defeated Garuda

Both men put on a brilliant performance but Whitmer was the better man tonight. Garuda went for his 450 Splash to finish off BJ but he moved out of the way. Garuda then got caught with the Exploder ’98 and pinned for a three count. Both men shook hands after the match as a show of respect.

Justin Credible defeated Jason Cross

Triple Threat member Justin Credible didn’t have much of a problem with Jason Cross as the former ECW World Heavyweight Champion easily put him away after hitting him with That’s Incredible. After the match, Credible picked up a microphone and said that he was tired of being looked over and is going to prove why he deserves to be a champion.

Jerry Lynn came down the ring and looked pissed off. He snatched the microphone away from the ring announcer. “Rob Van Dam, you fucking asshole, I’m tired of your shit. How many times do I have to prove that I’m better than you?” The crowd booed and then RVD’s music hit and out he came running. He slid into the ring and the fight was on! Security once again had to come out and separate the two.

Paul Heyman came out again as well, “I’m sick of this. Do you think that you run this place? I’m the man in charge here! I can see that you two can’t be confined to wrestle only in the ring. So, here’s what I’m going to do, at our next show it’s going to be Rob Van Dam versus Jerry Lynn. Falls Count Anywhere!”

The crowd cheered as Heyman walked back to the announcer booth to a chant of “PWE”. Rob Van Dam posed for the crowd as Lynn was hauled back by security.

“Hollywood” Petey Williams defeated “Spyder” Nate Webb

Two months ago when Petey debuted his new look, he defeated the challenge of The Sandman. He made his record 2-0 tonight under the new persona as he defeated Nate Webb with the move formerly known as the Canadian Destroyer. It is now called the La-La-Land Driver. After the match, Petey put his sunglasses back on and picked up a cell phone that he had in his jacket and started making calls.

Chris Chetti defeated “No Gimmicks Needed” Chris Candido

This was a brutal contest and it proved the critics wrong about Chris Chetti. He wrestled an outstanding match and picked up the win after Candido missed the flying headbutt. Candido got up and was stumbling around and holding his face that he had just hit on the mat. He walked right into Chetti who locked in a rear-naked chokehold that made Candido tap out.

Bonus DVD Material: A video was shown to hype the debut of a new tag team here in PWE – John Walters and Perry Saturn. Saturn says in the video that at the next show, they will be there and will be coming after the gold.

Jushin “Thunder” Lyger defeated Jonny Storm

This was a very fast paced match with back and forth action that the fans loved. Storm hit Lyger with a brain buster and almost had the upset win. He picked up Lyger and hit him another brain buster but somehow he got out of it again. Storm looked to be furious as he went to the top rope. He set up for a moonsault but he took too long and Lyger got to his feet and pushed him. Storm crotched himself on the top rope and fell back into the ring. Lyger then got on the top rope and came down with a beautiful Shooting Star Press. After the match, Lyger extended his hand to Storm and it was accepted, but then Storm pulled him in and hit him with a huge clothesline! What has gotten into Jonny Storm?

Paul Heyman came to the ring, “I’m sick and tired of having to come out here tonight but I can’t let the boys run the place. I’m the man in charge and I have to make decisions. There has to be some kind of order around here. So, right now I’m going to make a match. A four-corner’s match and the winner will be the new number one contender to the World Title.” The crowd applauded as Heyman told the ring announcer to make the introductions.

Alex Shelley defeated Austin Aries, Shane Douglas and Rob Van Dam in a Four-Corner’s Elimination Match to become the new Number One Contender

Rob Van Dam was the first man in the match to be eliminated after Jerry Lynn came out to the ring and lured him to the back and he got himself counted out. Surprisingly, Shane Douglas was the next to go as he was quickly rolled up by Austin Aries. It was now down to the two young superstars. Aries and Shelley went back and forth with stiff, brutal shots. Aries went to the ropes and tried for a clothesline but it was ducked and he was met with a huge Yakuza kick! Shelley pinned Aries and the ref made the count to give him the match and award him the new number one contender!

Samoa Joe and Steve Corino made their entrance and posed for the crowd before PWE World Heavyweight Champion Christopher Daniels came out. Daniels stopped in the aisle and had a microphone, “I’ve spent all days making phone calls, trying to find the perfect partner. I called all of the boys up in Stamford but none of them had the guts to come to PWE. Then, a light bulb popped in my head and I realized who the perfect partner was.” He paused for a second, “Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to my partner – Kevin Sullivan!”

“Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels and Kevin Sullivan defeated “King of Old School” Steve Corino and Samoa Joe

The Main Event tag team match saw a huge clash as both teams would not go down. Sullivan hit the double stomp onto Corino but only got a two count. Corino then made a comeback and got the tag to Joe. He came in and cleared house. Joe then mistakenly hit his own partner with a huge forearm. Joe then went to check on Corino and was hit from behind by Daniels. He turned him around and kicked him below the waist and hit the Last Rites! Daniels then covered Joe and got the win.

Sullivan and Daniels got out of the ring fast as they had gotten a cheap victory. Samoa Joe and Steve Corino both looked pissed off. Corino made the mistake of pushing Joe. That was not a good idea as Joe started laying in the forearms! Joe and Corino brawled all around the ring as Sullivan and Daniels stood in the aisle laughing.

[Guest JustJoe2k5]

I am really liking this diary. Seems like something a little different and the detail is enough that you feel informed but not too much that you get tired of reading it. I would make one suggestion, and that is maybe add a little bit more detail on to your bigger shows because that is the only thing I can find wrong with this. Is this Garuda guy truly the understudy of Hayabusa? I've never heard of him.

[Cobane]

I'm just going by what the guys from RaveX put on his TEW profile.

"Premiere understudy of Hayabusa, Garuda is only starting to show what he is capable of. Slightly less talented but more supported than his mentor was at the same stage of his career, Garuda will get a chance to improve and make it to the bigs."
