XPW Riot

22nd January, Los Angeles

By ‘The Number 1 XPW Mark’ John Tyler

Well after a solid card last month, I couldn’t wait to see what XPW had planned for Riot, the follow up show. There had been fucktards filling up the internet with the same useless trash about XPW, saying that it used too many ‘ECW guys’, but people, ECW is fucking gone, and these guys are now living off XPW pay checks, making them XPW guys. Anyway, I was keen to see what the follow up angle would be with the Callis Enterprise thing, as I made my way to the event, with high expectations.

-Don Callis did the intro with CW Anderson by his side, saying that this may be Riot, but if any of the crowd members got any funny ideas, then they would be ejected from the building immediately. I know this guy ain’t XPW through and through, but damn it, I love the cocky bastard. Anyway, he goes on to say that tonight and from now on in XPW, the Callis Enterprise rules this company, whether the board of directors like it or not. Callis says that whoever wins the fatal four way tonight is the most unlucky person in the world, as they will get destroyed by the hardcore monster known as Masato Tanaka. Callis throws some insults at the crowd, including myself, which I laugh off, until Shark Boy comes through the crowd, and attacks CW from behind, starting their match.

-I gotta be honest, I’ve never liked Shark Boy. His gimmick is now incredibly stale, and he’s nothing to write home about in the ring, but the majority of the crowd seem to love him anyways, as he takes it to CW in the early going. Anderson tries to fight back, but Sharky is on a role, as he takes down CW Anderson with some very quick offensive, that looks incredibly unconvincing in my opinion. Anyway, Shark Boy goes to the top rope, and is pushed off by Don Callis, who then slips Anderson a steel chair. CW bludgeons Sharky with the chair, whips him into the ropes, AND CRUSHES THE SPINE OF SHARK BOY WITH A SPIONMEBUSTER ONTO THE CHAIR! Shit that looked botched! CW hooks the leg and gets the three anyway.

Rating: 5/10 for a match that was pretty damn mediocre, but served it’s purpose.

-Juvi comes out and gets a huge pop from the crowd. I’ve always been a Juventud Guerrera fan, and I always felt that in WCW he was vastly unutilised, but he was certainly getting the reaction he deserves here. Super Crazy comes out, and he gets booed, taunting the crowd. Immediately Juvi EXPLODES with huge moonsault off the top rope to Crazy on the outsde. That pretty much set the tone for this match, which is lightning quick in the early going. Crazy and Juvi simply destroy each other in the ring, hitting springboard shooting star presses, guilltoine leg drops and everything inbetween. The crowd were solidly behind Juvi still, as he went for a bulldog off the top rope, but Crazy reversed it, and sent Juvi to the canvas via a hip toss, and then almost put him away with a swanton bomb. I, along with the rest of the crowd, were getting tired just watching this friggin’ great match, and following g a springboard tornado DDT, Super Crazy got a large ‘fuck you crazy!’ chant, which I, of course, joined in, along with Tony. Crazy went for the trifecta moonsaults, but missed the third, allowing Juvi to hit a weird running Juvi Driver that FUCKING SPIKED SUPER CRAZY ON THE CANVAS, but Crazy got his foot on the rope, so the match continued. Juvi went to finish it, but Super Crazy continued to slip out of every predicament he was put in, and then levelled Juvi with a huge chairshot to the skull. The crowd roared in approval, as both men got to their feet, and had yet another series of quick-fire exchanges, which Juvi got the better of, eventually taking Crazy to the top, and hitting the Juvi driver from the top rope for the duke. HOLY SHIT WHAT A MATCH!

Rating: 9/10 for a superb match that had the crowd on their feet throughout.

-It was now time for the Riot battle royal match for the abused XPW World Tag Team titles. The tag division in XPW has never exactly been thriving, but there were eight teams in this match, all pretty credible, so I had high hopes for this match. Chetti and Doring came out first, both acting like porn stars in their pink attire, which I find incredibly cheesy, but oh well. The even more horrible Hamrick and Smothers were out next, and these two teams began to brawl. Nothing noticeable happened really, apart from a double bulldog from Doring onto Hamrick and Smothers. Damien 666 and Halloween came out next, and I really like these two Mexican high flyers. They immediately took it to the other two times with an array of top rope moves, and Damien hit a suicide dive into the crowd on Chetti. York and Matthews were out next, and they got a decent pop from the crowd, as they cleaned house, and laid out Hamrick with a double spinebuster, eliminating Hamrick and Smothers. YES! Those fuckers were gone! I was much more pumped for this match at this point, knowing that Hamrick and Smothers wouldn’t win, as Burchill and Jonny Storm came out, and kicked everybody’s ass. Storm took out York, Matthews and Halloween with a swanton to the outside, which garnered a ‘holy shit!’ chant, as Burchill connected with a huge running power bomb on Damien 666, eliminating himself and partner Halloween. Matt Cross and Josh Prohibition were the last team to enter, and they quickly disposed of Chris Chetti and Danny Doring, followed a double swinging neck breaker onto a steel chair on Chetti. Burchill was quickly targeted, as York and Matthews, as well as Cross and Prohibition, all went after the big man, eliminating him and Storm following a bunch of chair shots and top rope leg drops. Cross went for the stunning Death From bove on Christian York, but York held up a steel chair, and Cross ate wood. Prohibition went for the t-bone suplex on Joey Matthews, but he reversed it and sent Prohibition into the ropes, and York and Matthews hit a HUGE FUTURE SHOT, DECAPITATING JOSH PROHIBITION! Three seconds later, and York and Matthews had done it! York and Matthews are the fucking tag champs, and I’m sure as hell happy about that!

Rating: 7/10 cause York and Matthews finally won some recognised tag titles, plus the match was pretty well structured all round.

-It was time for some blood, as I went to the bar and got me and Tony a bud. New Jack came out with his trademark stapler, followed by Pogo who had his shovel, and finally Supreme came out with a singapore cane, to a fucking big heel heat reaction. All three men use the cane early on, with New Jack getting most of the offensive, breaking the cane on the skull of Pogo after multiple blows. Supreme had the shovel however, and quickly bust New Jack open with it, before repeatedly splashing Tha’ Original Gangsta’. Pogo was up however, and he was pissed, as he and Supreme brawled around the ring. Pogo repeatedly threw Supreme head first into the steel ring pole, but New Jack had the stapler, and he FORCUFULLY STAPLED SUPREME IN THE FUCKIN FOREHEAD! Holy christ Supreme is busted wide, wide open, as Pogo bludgeons New Jack with a stiff shovel shot to the skull. Pogo goes for the Buried In The Basement, but New Jack low blows him, batters Pogo with a barrage of punches, before going to the top rope, and nailing the 187 Headbutt to huge cheers. However, a pissed of Supreme, STAPLE STILL IN HEAD, COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THE FUCKING MECCA TOAD SPLASH ON NEW JACK! HOLY SHIT! Supreme hooks the leg for the extremely unpopular victory.

Rating: 6/10 for a bloodbath that wasn’t pretty, but was most definitely as brutal as hell.

-A barbed wire baseball bat was then hung from the ceiling, and I wondered what the fuck was going on, until I realised that this must be the stairway to hell match. Danny Daniels came out with the monstrous looking Roadkill, who’s acting skills as the monster heel have improved vastly since the last show. Daniels gets on the microphone and calls Terry Funk a bitch, and says that Funk may have got lucky last month, but night his career will be put to an end by the barbed wire baseball bat hanging above the ring. Funk comes through the crowd, and immediately brawls with Roadkill in the ring. The fight quickly turns to the outside where Funk dominates Roadkill, until Danny Daniel catches Funk with a fucking sick superkick out of nowhere. That looked like it hurt badly! Roadkill then throws Funk into the ring and goes to work with some powerful offence, as Danny Daniels slips a ladder into the ring. Roadkill backs Funk into a corner, puts the ladder in front of him, AND SQUASHES FUNK IN THE CORNER WITH THE LADDER! SHIT, FUNK IS DOWN! Daniels gets into the ring, and climbs the ladder while oadkill puts the punches to Funk. Daniels has the fucking barbed wire baseball bat, and he passes it to Roadkill. Funk snatches the barbed wire however, and beats the crap out of Roadkill with it, turning Roadkill into a fucking bloody mess! Funk catches Daniels with a shot, before connecting with a BULLDOG ONTO THE GOD DAMN BARBED WIRE BASEBALL BAT ON ROADKILL! The crowd pop huge for this sick spot, as Funk hooks the leg for the three count.

Rating: 8/10 another great showing from these two men, and Danny Daniels adds that something extra to the encounter.

-It was now time to see who would get the XPW World Heavyweight title shot against Masato Tanaka this very same evening, as Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible, The Sandman and Chris Candido came to the ring, The Sandman getting a huge pop from myself and the crowd as he came to the ring with a cane and a case of beers, one which my friend Tony caught! Anyway, the match kicked off with everybody nailing everybody with punches and kicks. Candido looked pretty impressive, as he went at it with Jerry Lynn in the ring in some technical exchanges, as The Sandman and Justin credible whipped each other into the guardrail, and exchanged punches. Candido received a bloody nose via a Jerry Lynn botched bulldog, and Lynn continued to take it to Candido, earnign several near falls. He crowd were mainly focused on the brawling around the ring though, as was I. The Sandman connected with the White Russian Legsweep into the guardrail on Credible, but Steve Corino came out of nowhere through the crowd, and took down The Sandman with a thunderous clothesline. He helped Credible to his feet, and Corino and Credible beat the shit out of The Sandman with steel chairs, right in front of me. Jerry Lynn came to the outside, and attempted to fight off Corino, but Credible nailed Lynn with a cane shot to the back. Corino and Credible then slipped into the ring, and Credible held Candido, as Corino attempted to blast him with the Singapore cane, but Candido sidestepped, AND CORUNO TOOK OUT CREDIBLE WITH THE CANE SHOT TO THE SKULL! Candido hit a shocked Corino with a german supelex, but The Sandman surprised Candido with a beer can shot shot to the skull for the three.

Rating: 8/10 for a highly enjoyable brawl, plus the whole crowd wanted to see in the next match, including yours truly!

-So The Sandman got his re-match with Masato Tanaka for the XPW World Heavyweight title, but he didn’t have much time to recover, as Tanaka came down to the ring immediately, and laid a beating on The Sandman, as CW Anderson and Don Callis looked on approvingly from ringside. Tanaka basically beat the tired Sandman all over the ring, with Callis mocking the crowd from the outside. After some superb selling from The Sandman, he grabbed his trusty singapore cane, and went to work on Tanaka, connecting with three shots in a row to the head of Tanaka with the wood, BUSTING TANAKA WIDE OPEN! The Sandman knocked Tanaka down with a series of clotheslines and looked for the White Russian Legsweep. The Sandman hit it, AND THE CROWD WENT ABSOLUTELY NUTS AS THE SANDMAN MADE THE COVER, ONLY FOR CW ANDERSON TO PULL THE SANDMAN OFF TANKA ON TWO! Anderson rolled into the ring, where The Sandman went to work on him with cane shots, but this allowed TANAKA TO HIT THE ROARING ELBOW FOR THE THREE! The crowd booed incredibly loud, as Callis, Tanaka and Anderson repeatedly blasted The sandman with a chair after the match, and posed in the middle of the ring with the XPW World Heavyweight title.

Rating: 9/10 for a short but extremely exciting and enjoyable match, with a finish that pissed the whole crowd legitimately off, and gave the Callis Enterprise EVEN MORE heat with the crowd than before.

Event Rating: 8/10 for a show that had bad and good bits, but more good than bad, and definitely helped give XPW a better sense of direction.

might just be me, but the second show lacked soemthing that the first show had....

maybe the fact that it just went match ..match...match...match, nothing after them really, or before them....etc...just a thought, having some after match tactics/interviews to continue storylines...not after every match, but some anyways

[chrishardcore]

Nice diary I am enjoying it

[EndOfAnEra]

Credible was Douglas last challenger for the XPW Title (they had three title matches, one which JC actually won by DQ), so he makes sense as a challenger. The Sandman was hugely over in XPW and has a cult-following, he's also a former XPW Champion, so i dont have a problem with him either. The only person who doesnt make complete sense is Tanaka. However, a) he's an awesome worker, B) he's a former ECW Champ, c) he's pretty over with hardcore fans. He perhaps didnt make the best choice of champ, the other two guys would have been more over as the champion, he is not there without any validity.

that is still an XPW championship now isnt it...hmmmm hmmmm hmmm???

Triad Trouble

Night 1

Philadelphia

11th February

By ‘The Number 1 XPW Mark’ John Tyler

So XPW was going to do something bold: hold three mini-cards in three successive nights, in three different cities. Shit, this was a gamble, and hell, even I debated travelling all over the country to see a couple of mini-cards, but fuck it, the best and last card would finish back in Los Angeles nicely, so I and Tony backed our bags, and made sure that we would get to every show. This, was the first.

-The Callis Enterprise consisting of CW Anderson, XPW World Heavyweight Champion Masato Tanaka, and, of course, Don Callis, started the night off. The crowd was a lot smaller than back in XPW, and that was probably down to what the people of Philly had to put up with from XPW before, you know, just before went on hiatus? Anyway, me and Tony, and a few of the hardcore X P Dub guys got some kinda fucking atmosphere going, as Callis ran down the crowd, and told us ‘shitheads’ that we wouldn’t even get to see CW or Tanaka in action tonight, because we didn’t deserve it. This pissed the crowd off for real, but I wasn’t really that bothered as I was going to all three of these mini-shows. Callis threw insults at The Sandman, and the rest of XPW, and said that since he was calling the shots, the main event tonight between Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible and The Sandman would be a TLC match, so the Callis Enterprise could watch all three men destroy each other. The crowd didn’t give a fuck, and neither did I: the night just got a big boost. Callis continued the great mic work, and said that the Callis Enterprise would be watching from the back, so they didn’t have to look at the shit in the crowd, and they then left.

-A fucking sweet looking tag match was up next: two great death match workers teaming up with two great high flyers in a tag match. Pogo and Juvi, two of my favourites in the WHOLE of XPW, teaming up against Supahhh Crazy and Supreme. This match started off shit hot, as Juvi Crazy went at it in the ring, with some great high flying shit, as Pogo and Supreme exchanged chair shots on the outside, which Supreme received the brunt off, quickly getting busted open. Pogo got into the ring with the shovel, which was spectaculary missile dropkicked into his face by Crazy. Supreme bought a chair into the ring, and the match then turned into chair shots from the big guys, and springboard variations from the Mexicans. After some truly breath taking spots from Juvi and Crazy, who are looking better and better together every time they compete, JUVI WAS SENT CRASHING INTO THE FUCKING CROWD, CHEST FIRST INTO SEVERAL STEEL CHAIRS! This garnered the first ’holy shit!’ chant of the night, and left Pogo in the ring with Supreme. Pogo basically beat the shit out of Supreme with the shovel, and nailed him with A SICK LOOKING LEGDROP ONTO THE SHOVEL ,ONTO SUPREME’S F’N FACE! Pogo’s momentum was quickly stopped however, as Super Crazy connected with a tornado DDT, and then hit a huge for splash onto a chair onto Pogo for the win.

Rating: 7/10 cause of two matches solid in one basically, with one or two huge spots.

-Justin Credible came to the ring, and asked if Steve Corino was in the fucking building. Nobody came out, and Credible said that Corino better stay outta his business from now on. Credible was getting some big boos from ringside for no real reason, and so concentrated on running the crowd down, before going on to say that he should be XPW World Heavyweight Champion right now, but Corino keeps interfering in his business for some reason. Credible says he doesn’t care if Corino is trying to help him or not, he doesn’t need it, because he isn’t just the coolest or the best, he is Justin Credible. What a cocky fuck face.

Rating: 7/10 for a decent interview that pumped the crowd up even more, which needed doing.

-It was time to see if a guy pushed in the new era of XPW would sink or swim, as Roadkill, accompanied by the incredibly annoying Danny Daniels, faced New Jack. Roadkill had been in some great matches with Terry Funk at Did Ya Miss Us and Riot, but I couldn’t help wonder if he was being carried. Anyway, the Funk issue had not been forgotten, as Daniels told the Philly crowd that Funk didn’t have the balls to face Roadkill tonight. New Jack came out, and asked Daniels what the fuck he was on: Funk had beaten Roadkill clean twice in a row. This infuriated Roadkill and Daniels, and the match quickly began, with New Jack ALL OVER Roadkill with punches and shots with a stop sign. Daniels gets into the ring and hands New Jack some unconvincing offence, before New Jack beats Daniels around the ring like the bitch he is. Roadkill somehow sneaks a ladder into the ring meanwhile, but I didn’t notice, as I was enjoying the New Jack ass beating that Daniels was receiving. Roadkill beat New Jack up with the ladder for a bit, before whipping him into it muletiple times, and crushing him into it. Daniels HANDCUFFED NEW JACK TO THE ROPES,. AND Daniels and road kill started beating the shit out of New Jack with chair shots! This got some major heat from the crowd, BUT THE NEXT POP FROM THE CROWD WAS HUGE, AS TERRY FUNK EMERGED DOWN THE AISLE. Funk handed punches to Daniels and Roadkill, before laying out Daniels with a piledriver on a chair, which was nothing new to me and Tony, but still as funny as hell. New Jack snapped the cuffs off his hand, which were obviously not real, and then went to the top rope, hitting the 187 Headbutt on Danny Daniels, as Funk and Roadkill brawled through the crowd, right past I was sitting, until eventually spilling into the back, deeming the match a no contest.

Rating: 8/10 for a very fun match, that included the shock of the Funk run-in.

-It was now time for the TLC main event between Jerry Lynn, The Sandman and Justin Credible. The Sandman, of course, got the biggest pop as he came to the ring with a beer and cane, and this match quickly got underway, with The Sandman beating both men up with several cane shots each, until Lynn smashes The Sandman over the head with a chair, sending him the outside. The crowd was really hot by now, and booed the fuck out of Credible as he knocked both men down by throwing the ladder at them. Credible continued to lay a beating, whipping both men into separate ladders, and then brawling with Lynn on the outside. Lynn quickly gained the upper hand, and rolled Credible onto a table on the outside of the ring, going to the top rope, and putting Credible through the table with a leg drop, which garnered a huge response from the crowd. He Sandman was not about to be upstaged however, as he came off the rope with a table in hand, and smashed it on the skull of Lynn, breaking it in half. As The Sandman took Lynn into the ring and positioned him for the White Russian Legsweep, the Callis Enterprise came down the aisle, taunting The Sandman, and showing off the XPW World Heavyweight gold. The Sandman through caution to the wind, and chased off the Callis Enterprise with a cane. Tanaka and Callis quickly scarped into the back, and CW brawled with The Sandman, before they both disappeared into the back, beating the hell out of each other. This left Lynn and Credible on the outside of the ring, and both men got to their feet, exchanging punches. They brawled around the ring for a few minutes, before the action spilled into the ring for the finish. Credible managed to nail Lynn with a huge chairshot to the skull, and just as he was going to go for the pin, STEVE CORINO ONCE AGAIN CAME THROUGH THE FUCKING CROWD! Credible looked incredibly pissed, as Corino got into the ring, and begged Credible to hear him out. Corino talked with Credible, who wanted to finish the match. After Corino had finished talking, Credible still didn’t look happy, but didn’t have time to do anything more, as Jerry Lynn clotheslined Credible into Corino, knocking Corino to the outside, before hitting THE CRADLE PILEDRIVER ONTO THE FUCKING LADDER, ALMOST KNOCKING CREDIBLE OUT! HOLY SHIT! Lynn hooked the leg for the three, and Corino looked once again shocked, as he made his way back through the crowd, ending a fun night.

Rating: 8/10 for a match that the crowd loved, I loved, and had some cool storyline shit in.

Event Overview: 8/10 as the first night of TT was pretty damn eventful, and everybody put maximum effort in getting the crowd into it, which they eventually were by the end of the night.
