Then I look to power Prime Time up and I bring in Elix Skipper. Skipper gets his first win thanks to Prime Time’s help and he never did anything for Prime Time. We get an eight man tag with him in there and we lose and then he blames me and takes Prime Time as his own. Petey Williams leaves the group, Conrad Kennedy is injured and B-Boy turned on me. Then, Elix picks up the tag team champions and adds them to the group. He brings in champions instead of making them himself! Skipper, I am going to get you for what you did to me and how you destroyed Prime Time. Sooner or later we will meet in the ring and I’m going to show the fans that you are the weak link and Prime Time lost because of you not me.”

I’ve heard lots of rumblings about who people thought I was going to choose. A lot of people were saying it would be Jimmy Rave or Chad Collyer, guys who have a problem with Prime Time. And while I would love to team with either of those guys they have a problem with me because I was in Prime Time. Tonight, I have a partner that nobody saw coming. Tonight my mystery partner is a star in the Southern California wrestling scene. That man is Excalibur!”

They may have more experience as a team but Petey and I are fighting the good fight and just like in the movies the good guys always win.”

OA: 67

Guppie: “Excalibur is an interesting choice but his style should blend well with Williams’.”

Patterson: “Excalibur also knows B-Boy’s style really well since they are both from the West Coast wrestling scene and worked a lot of shows together. I think Williams has made a good choice for a partner and they have a good chance of winning tonight.”

These two men broke up violently and Williams looks to get some more revenge than what he got on Rage earlier today when he beat the team of Skipper and B-Boy.

Chad Collyer vs. Ricky Reyes

One-half of the tag team champions Reyes looks to prove his singles wrestling chops against Chad Collyer in what should be a display of great wrestling.

Shane: “I know you fans don’t like me, so just shut up so I can say what I have to say. Elix Skipper tonight I get my payback. You stole Prime Time from me. You stole it like a common criminal. After I lost a match you just take B-Boy and walk off. Then Conrad gets hurt and I don’t have anybody backing me up. You take the name of the group because it’s your nickname but Prime Time is the name of my group not yours. I made Prime Time. I made Prime Time champions. You didn’t make champions you took them. I assembled a tag team of Adam Pearce and Conrad and when Pearce failed he was kicked out of the group and I took his place. I brought in Petey Williams and B-Boy to strengthen the group. Then I brought you in and it has cost me everything. I thought you would be an asset but you have been a liability. In your first match Conrad had to interfere to get you the win. Then Prime Time wins an eight-man tag without your help. Three months later we have an eight-man tag with you on our team and we lost. You can label me the weak link if you want but you are the one who has fallen down. You are the one who has been inadequate. You don’t own the name Prime Time and you never will. I don’t care what you say, the announcers say or the fans say. Your group is not Prime Time. My group is Prime Time and I will reform it and bring it back to the forefront of the SMWA! Tonight I am going to put you down for the three count and prove that I am Prime Time and I am what made Prime Time so dominant!”

I’ve had my battles with Prime Time and I’ve come out on top more often than not. Skipper you are a world class athlete, there is no doubt about that but tonight that’s not going to matter. Tonight you are going up against a great wrestler. You may be bigger and possibly faster but I’m smarter. I’m a better wrestler than you.

Background

The SMWA Title

Jimmy Rave had a nearly five month long reign as champ before losing the belt to Halo. Halo has held the belt for just as long and has been nearly as dominant as champion. Continuing the tradition of 2/3 falls title matches on the Anniversary show Halo has granted Jimmy Rave a rematch for the SMWA Championship in what should be a great match.

Prime Time

Created by Michael Shane it originally consisted of Tag Team Champions Adam Pearce and Conrad Kennedy III along with B-Boy. Petey Williams was brought in to replace Adam Pearce after he refused to give Michael Shane the Tag Team Belt when he returned from injury. Shane and Kennedy held the Tag Team Titles for some time. Then Michael Shane brought in Elix Skipper as the fifth member of Prime Time. At the final show of 2007 Prime Time defeated the team of Jimmy Rave, Johnny Spade, Jimmy Jacobs and Sedrick Strong. Prime Time then suffered as the members were often booked separately from each other. Michael Shane returned near the Fourth Anniversary show and kicked things back up as they would have a rematch from the final 2007 show. Before getting to that point though Petey Williams rebelled and was kicked out of Prime Time. The eight man tag at the Fourth Anniversary Show would be Michael Shane, Elix Skipper, B-Boy and Conrad Kennedy III vs. Jimmy Rave, Johnny Spade, Chad Collyer & Sedrick Strong. On the second night Michael Shane faces Sedrick Strong in a loser leaves match, Chad Collyer takes on Elix Skipper in a grudge match and B-Boy faces off against Petey Williams.

Halo & Johnny Spade

These former tag team partners have not become blood enemies but they have had some great contests against each other. Halo has managed to come out on the winning end more often but it has not been often and Spade can keep up with Halo and always makes it a close contest.

Ace Steel, Mark Briscoe & Jay Briscoe

A tag team triangle as Mark Briscoe was torn between teaming with Ace Steel and his brother who just returned from injury. Mark chose teaming with Jay and engaged in a brutal feud with Ace Steel. A brutal feud that leads to the Fourth Anniversary show. Ace Steel is bringing in fellow NOAH competitor and former GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, KENTA. A tag team match on the first night and cage match between Ace and Mark on the second night will hopefully end the feud.

A lot of the past isn’t too important to the future shows as many of the former big stars have been stolen away and there aren’t too many long going feuds right now. Prime Time is the biggest ongoing story and will probably continue to be for some time. It doesn’t seem like much but it will update you on the big happenings and most of the smaller stuff is fairly new to the SMWA and growing. I hope this helps the new readers.

Notes: *1/2

OA: 55 CR: 31 MQ: 79

Guppie: “What a display by both men. Whitmer pulled out his best high impact moves but Hart showed his resilience and got back up and kept on coming.”

Patterson: “Whitmer seemed to write hart off as a challenge and that let Hart capitalize with his high flying moves and got a big victory. If Hart can win his next match he will go on to win Block B. If he loses he will face off with Whitmer again in a playoff match to go to the finals.”

Guppie: “I would love to see a rematch between these two men. Folks we have a huge main event coming up for you next. The Havana Pitbulls defend the SMWA Tag Team Championship belts against the Backseat Boyz and that match is coming up after the commercial break.”

Segment 4: Backseats Back

The Backseat Boyz burst out from the back with an energy that is immediately transferred to the crowd who cheer them. Acid and Kashmere go around the ring flirting with the female fans in attendance before they slide into the ring. Acid goes to the announcer and takes the mic.

Acid: “There are a bunch of tag teams in the back saying that we don’t deserve this title shot. They say that we haven’t gotten wins as a team here and haven’t proven our worth. They forget that the Backseat Boyz were once the best tag team in the world. We may only have one tag team victory here in the SMWA but you don’t just lose your skill as a team overnight. Johnny and I are friends and we know what the other is going to do before they do it. We just function well together and tonight the Havana Pitbulls are going to get a lesson in tag team wrestling the way it is meant to be. They have been strong champions there is no denying that but everything comes to an end and their reign will come to an end here tonight. The Backseat Boyz are back in action and we are going to get gold around our waists right now!”

Acid’s statement is backed up by the cheers of the crowd which turn to boos as the Pitbulls walk out from the back and come down to the ring.

OA: 74

Guppie: “Acid seems confident that he and Kashmere will be able to shake off any ring rust as a team right away. They do hold an impressive victory over BJ Whitmer and Dan Maff in a hardcore match but the Pitbulls have held off some tough challengers.”

Patterson: “But this could be their toughest challenge. Acid was not exaggerating when he said the Backseat Boyz were one of the best tag teams in the world and they are getting a chance to prove that they are still one of the best but the Pitbulls aren’t just going to roll over and die either.”

Segment 5: Havana Pitbulls ©vs. Backseat Boyz (SMWA Tag Team Championship)

Guppie: “This is going to be a good showcase for both men. Last week Thomaselli took on a high-flyer in Azrael and now he takes on a mat wrestler in Arik Cannon.”

Patterson: “Brandon can flow from style to style but he’s not quite perfect at any of those styles and that variety in style can hurt him in his matches as he doesn’t focus on just one style.”

Patterson: “Thomaselli took quite a beating to his back but he wouldn’t give up and almost got a win but Cannon outsmarted him and got the three count.”

Guppie: “Our next match should be just as hard fought if not more so. Jerelle Clark takes on Azrael in Block A action of the Premier Title Tournament. The winner of this match goes on to face Scott Lost in a match to see who gets a shot at the Premier Title.”

Patterson: “Both of these men want this opportunity bad and they are going to be going all out and risking it all. With high-flyers like this they are going to be risking a lot too.”

As the show comes back from commercial Joel Gertner is standing in the middle of the ring with the mic.

Gertner: “Ladies hold your applause. Yes it is I, the quintessential stud-muffin, Joel Gertner. I am here for one reason and one reason only. No, it isn’t to steal Alicia Webb from Teddy Hart, although she’s one fine looking, nevermind. I’m here to bring some underappreciated talent the spot they deserve in this promotion and take some of the greats to the top. Let me introduce you to the four men that I am going to help dominate the SMWA. First let me introduce the best up-and-comer in the SMWA right now. A brother to a former SMWA Champion here comes Brandon Thomaselli!”

Brandon Thomaselli comes out from the back and slides into the ring and shakes Gertner’s hand.

Gertner: “That’s right. Brandon here is going to be the newest superstar in the SMWA and he’s going to be a champion here. Our next member is a man who has been close to being a champion. He’s had many opportunities for the title but he’s never been the man here in the SMWA. He’s had some shots at the SMWA Title recently but that’s about the only matches he’s been getting. He’s a former tag team partner of the champion it’s Johnny Spade!”

Spade comes out from backstage to a good reaction. He climbs onto the apron then leaps over the top rope into the ring.

Gertner: “This is a man who has been with this company since it started and now that he truly has star potential he is only pulled out every once in a while for a title shot with the easy sell of former tag team partners facing off. This man doesn’t get other matches to showcase what he can do. That being said I have secured a title shot for Johnny Spade next week against Halo or Jimmy Rave whoever comes out on top at Brutality Defined. This isn’t because Johnny is a former champion this is because he is a great competitor and you will be seeing more of Spade in the SMWA that I guarantee you. Now we come to our last two members. These two are a tag team and they are guys who embody many of the same, great qualities that I do. They are stars with the ladies and magicians in the ring. They are competing for a shot at the Tag Titles tonight they are the Backseat Boyz!”

The Backseat Boyz come out to loud cheers from the crowd and they circle the ring giving the fans fives and then both men slide into the ring and shake hands with Gertner.

Gertner: “I know what many of you are thinking. Sure the Backseat Boyz don’t need a manager but they want one and they wanted one as cool as Joel Gertner. Tonight the Backseat Boyz are going to claim a shot at the tag titles. They are going to show KENTA and Marafuji that NOAH is not the end all of professional wrestling. Tonight they are going to earn a shot at the tag team titles and at Brutality Defined, this Saturday, they are going to show the Havana Pitbulls what’s up and claim the belts for their own. Brandon and Johnny, you two head to the back. We aren’t like the other stables here. We don’t cheat to win and everybody wins on their own accolades. You fans know these guys and you know they don’t need any cheating to get wins.”

Gertner hands the mic back to the announcer to cheers from the crowd then exits the ring and stands ringside as the show goes to commercial.

OA: 74

Guppie: “Joel Gertner has shown up and looks to make an impact here by grouping up four great wrestlers.”

Patterson: “Gertner has a big mouth but I don’t know he’ll do as an actual manager. Luckily all four of those guys are great on their own and don’t really need the help that much.”
