Well here we go with the first show, I think it came together nicely. I’m a little rusty at putting the matches together, as it has been awhile. The matches are in an extended recap form, going over the main points. I’ll post my synopsis and why I made the decisions I did in two days. All reviews will be returned as soon as I can, thanks.

The Point of No Return

West Philadelphia, Lake Side Recreational Center

Attendance: 65 people

The show starts out with Travis coming to the ring, but the crowd not really knowing who he is. He gets in the ring and takes a mic.

Travis: Well, not much I want to say, but I’m Travis; and I’m the one who put this whole thing together. I want to thank my Uncle for backing this thing up finically, and my friends who helped set all this shit up. Well I’m not going ramble on, but we got some great wrestling matches for you; and lets get this son of a bitch rolling.

Opening Match: Drake Younger vs. Joker

As Travis leaves the ring “Protect Your Neck” by Wu-Tang hits as Joker comes out to the ring. Joker comes out to a small pop as he goes around to slap high fives with the fans. Once Joker gets in the ring “Whatever” by Godsmack blares through the P.A. Drake Younger comes down to the ring to a nice pop. A few fans are standing up chanting “Drake.” Drake goes around and tries to get the fans up and into the show. Drake rolls into his corner, as him and Joker have a stare down.

This match was what Strong Style wrestling is about. The match started out slowly as both men tried to test each other to find their weaknesses. The feeling out process didn’t get much done, as both men would find ways to reverse the other’s holds. The match turned in Drake’s favor as he began to overpower Joker. He threw some sick chops to the chest of Joker, and went to town on him with a series of punches. The only problem was the Joker would not back down. After every blow Joker would get right back into the face of Drake. The match turned when Joker bounced off the ropes and delivered a huge double kick to the chest of Drake, sending out to the floor between the ropes. Joker climbed to the top turnbuckles and, flew through the air, crashing down on Drake with a crossbody. At this point the crowd began to cheer more for Joker. Joker took control of the match while on the outside. He went to work on the shoulder of Drake by sending him shoulder first into the metal ring post several times. Joker wrapped Drake’s arm around the ring post and got a chair and was about to crash Drake’s arm, but Drake give a quick kick the gut of Joker. Drake takes control and gives a series of forearms to Joker, and eventually gives a nasty head butt causing Joker to fall back into a chair. Drake takes a few steps back and comes running and delivers a huge left-handed punch to Joker, causing him and the chair to flip over. The crowd is getting hot for the match as Joker is out on the ground. Drake gets Joker in the ring and goes for a pin and only gets a TWO count. Drake tries to end the match by setting up Joker for the Vertebreaker, but Joker gets his way out and runs off the ropes to deliver a huge lariat to Drake. Both men were out at this point and the crowd was coming alive for all the hard work both men were showing. Joker gets to his feet and pulls Drake to the middle of the ring, and goes up to the top turnbuckle. Joker jumps off to give a huge double stomp, landing right on the chest of Drake. Joker goes for a pin, but only gets a TWO count. Joker looks a little agitated, but grabs Drake and locks in the Anaconda Vice. Joker has the hold locked in, and Drake is stuck in the center of the ring. The crowd is split in some chants of “Please Don’t Tap” and “Tap.” Drake tries to crawl his way to the ropes, but he has taken a lot of punishment. Drake is about a foot away from touching the ropes, but his hand goes down. Joker continues to put the pressure on, and the referee comes to check on Drake. He picks up Drake’s arm and it falls back to the mat. He picks it up a second time and once again it falls down to the mat. He picks it up for the final three count and lets it drop, but at the last second Drake gets control of his arm and pulls it up. He works his way to the ropes and is finally able to grab a hold of the bottom rope. The ref breaks the hold as Joker begins to get pissed. He steps back and takes off his elbow pad looking for a huge lariat to shut down Drake. Drake slowly gets to his feet and Joker bounces off the ropes coming after Drake. Joker gets inches away from nailing the lariat, when Drake ducks down under it. Joker turns around and gets a swift kick in the gut. Drake grabs Joker and sets up the Vertebreaker, and lifts Joker up. Drake slams Joker down the mat as his neck folds on impact. Drake rolls over for the cover and is able to get the three count.

He receives a small pop, but it isn’t much. “Funeral Fog” by Mayhem comes over and Hallowicked makes his way out to a nice size pop. He comes to the ring trying to get the people going. Both men give each other a quick handshake before the match starts.

This was a fast paced match with both men showing their athleticism. The early part saw a lot of quick reversals, and the will of both men to try and get the victory.

Hallowicked jumped off with a moonsault, but Akuma moved out of the way at the last second. Akuma gets up and begins giving some intense, stiff kicks to the midsection of Hallowicked.

Hallowicked comes over and lifts Akuma up and places him on the top turnbuckle. Hallowicked then steps back and looks to be setting Akuma up for a step up top rope hurricanrana. Hallowicked comes running, and jumps up to the top rope; but Akuma grabs his legs. Akuma gives some punches to the side of Hallowicked, and keeps him stuck on the top turnbuckle.

Both men go around and give high fives to the crowd.

This was a fun tag match between the two teams. There was a mixture of high flying and steady mat wrestling. Ricochet and Jigsaw gave the crowd a lot of breath taking highflying moves. In the early part Taylor was on the outside fighting off Jigsaw and Cannon, as Ricochet flipped over the ropes taking the opponents down. Crowd seemed to be behind the team of Taylor/Ricochet.

Cannon gave a series of hard head butts that echoes through the arena. Cannon climbs to the top rope, as Jigsaw slams Ricochet down to the mat with a suplex.

The ref quickly gets down to check on the condition of Ricochet as it looks like he could’ve been knocked out. Taylor gets back in the ring, and gives a step up enzurguri to Cannon, and knocks him out of the ring. Then, to the crowd’s surprise, Taylor drops down and gives a low blow shot to Jigsaw.

Crowd pops for BLK OUT

Vito: But you see, like so many teams they were to scared to even come here. They didn’t even want to bother with us, cause they knew they would’ve just been embarrassed like your beloved Eagles. You see we are like the T.O. of wrestling, were just that damn good.

Crowd gives some big heat.

Vito: But that’s not the point, I’m going be generous and allow someone to come down to this ring and get it on with me

Crowd kind of laughs at the comment

Vito: Wait, no, that’s not what I meant you pervs. But you see my partner had a little bit of a rough night, and he isn’t in the mood to get in the ring with some loser.

Crowd chants “Sal likes cock,” and Sal runs around the ring putting his hands up trying to yell at everyone that he loves pussy.

Crowd seems confused at it, but some fans try to stand up to accept his challenge.

Vito: How about you fatty, you want to step in the ring with me? Or how about you, yeah you the one who looks like you’ve been beaten with the ugly stick a couple of times. Or you, you can bring you and your baby in here, I’ll take on that handicapped match.

Crowd gives him heat, as Vito goes around pointing at the people

Vito: These isn’t even worth it, maybe someone from the back would like to get their ass kicked tonight. So anyone back there want to come out?

Vito and Sal stare around, but nothing happens

Vito: Like I thought, there is no one man enough to…

Vito is cut off as “Free Bird” comes over the P.A. and the crowd begins to stir. The song continues to play, as none other than Necro Butcher comes out and down to the ring. The Iron Saints bail out of the ring as Necro jumps into the ring. Necro throws down his shirt and puts his fist up and tells Vito to come in the ring.

Vito: What the hell is this? Did you get an offer for some free bagels to come here; I think the homeless shelter is a few blocks down.

While Vito is talking to Necro, Sal sneaks around to the other side and grabs a chair. He slides in behind Necro, and nails him in the back with the chair.

Vito: There we go, now get me a ref down here for the match.

A match up that didn’t blend to well. Neither man could get much going, and the crowd seemed a little tired after seeing Necro and all the other matches.

The crowd is really getting into the match, as the action is right in front of them. Klein grabs someone’s drink, and stands above Kingston.

Kingston just falls to his back, and Klein goes over and grabs some chairs. Klein throws about six chairs into the ring, and picks up Kingston. He tries to get Kingston in the ring, but both men get caught up on the apron. Kingston wraps his arms around the waist of Klein and looks to try and give him a German off the apron through the table. Klein holds onto the ropes, and gives an elbow to the face of Kingston. Klein maneuvers to the side of Kingston, and grabs him in position for a Russian leg sweep. Both men fall backwards, and crash off the apron through the table. Both men are willing to sacrifice their own bodies for the win. There is a small “This is Awesome” chant going on, and both men are laid out on the outside. After a few seconds both men begin to make their way to their feet. Both men crawl under the ropes into the ring, and Klein is still bleeding from his forehead as Kingston has a little gash on his arm.
