TNM Notes:  I am running the federation as a current day fed with every export in their form of now.  I edited the older wrestlers(Savage, Nash, Steiner, Rhodes, etc.) to decrease things I thought would make sense.  The fed will be run both booked and unbooked, I let wrestlers decide their own fate on contracts.  If someone will not sign with me then so be it, if someone quits...so be it.

This will be the thread for GSW, I don't want to flood the board with posts so all shows/notes/news/etc will be placed here.

Match observations:
We started off the night with "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash facing off against Danny Hodgepodge.  Nash looked less than thrilled to be wrestling in front of a small audience and made quick work of Hodgepodge.  The fans cheered Nash on but all they got was a middle finger from the big man.

Jay Briscoe came up next against the masked El Capitan.  Briscoe has decided to come to GSW without his brother and tag partner Mark to try and make a bigger name for himself as a singles wrestler.  He looked good against The Captain and pulled out a victory.

Jacques Rougeau looked quite rusty in the ring with an unknown Krys Jayrjonespick.  The two battled to a 20 minute draw.  Fans were excited to see the match end.  "Macho Man" Randy Savage came out to a nice reaction from the fans next but quickly showed he wasn't there for them only himself by attacking Spitfire before the match and even threatening the referee with violence.  Savage looks to still be in decent shape but is definitely showing the years.  His goatee is obviously dyed black but still is sprinkled with shades of grey and his hair is cut down to a buzz and is more salt than pepper.  No matter the look Savage looked good in the match and finished Spitfire off with his flying elbowdrop to the sternum.

Roderick Strong beat Dustin Rhodes next after Rhodes took his cowboy boot off and tried to hit Strong in the head but Roderick moved out of the way and the referee was on the receiving end.

The GSW World Tag Title tournament began fast and furious with Davey Richards and Tyler Black getting the best of Cheech and Cloudy in a back and forth match.  Another "Macho" man Jay Lethal and his partner Consequences Creed took care of business against the wild team of Teddy Hart and Jack Evans next.

At the end of the first round it looked like it could be any of the four remaining teams belts to win but the team of Tyson Kidd and Scott Lost proved far too much for the others.  The two decided to team together after finding common ground with Kidd being trained in Stu Hart's dungeon and Lost being such an admirer of the Hart family.  The two looked like a dominant team on their way to victory and made shockingly quick work in the finals over Davey Richards and Tyler Black.

An exciting night of action all-around.  Golden State Wrestling is proud to have named its tag team champions and will be crowning our World Champion on the next show with a 16-man tournament.

The 16 men for the tournament will be:

Chris Sabin
Consequences Creed
Davey Richards
Dustin Rhodes
Jacques Rougeau
Jay Briscoe
Jay Lethal
Joey Ryan
Kevin Nash
Larry Sweeney
Matt Cross
Randy Savage
Roderick Strong

Macho Man vs. Black Machismo....BOOK IT!

Your heels are infinitely more interesting to me than your faces and I am wondering how Kevin Nash could be bothered to compete with so many "Vanilla Midgets." I'll be pulling for the old guard instead of the young lions, that is for sure.

Yeah, there is definitely more star-power with the heels but we'll see how the faces flesh out.

Match observations:
Our tag team champions got more fight than what they were expecting out of the makeshift team of Hodgepodge and Jayrjonespick.  Kidd and Lost looked very confident coming in but made some mistakes and looked like the new duo they are.  As the match wore on the teamwork between the two did start to flesh out and they managed to gain another victory and retain the titles.

The World Title tournament started out with Randy Savage versus R-Truth.  This was a back and forth matchup with Truth showing a lot of offense and weighed heavily on his quickness advantage over the Macho Man.  Savage showed up big in the end and let his ring experience carry him to a first round victory in a heated battle.  Davey Richards gave Scott Steiner a run for his money but Steiner proved to have too much power in the end, making Richards give up in the Steiner Recliner.

The battles of the Jays was up next as Jay Lethal fought to a victory over Jay Briscoe.  The fans were behind both men and seemed to enjoy this matchup quite well.  Kevin Nash looked hobbled in the ring but proved that a massive size advantage can win out over talent any day.  Richards tried to stick and move on Nash but fell victim to the Jackknife Power Bomb in the end.  Rougeau looked better in this matchup than he did on the first show when he battled to a draw with Jayrjonespick.  Roderick Strong showed off his array of backbreakers in this match and wore Jacques down in the end , taking him down with a clothesline to gain entrance to the 2nd round.

Larry Sweeney is wily and definitely got under the crowd's skin in the next match.  Pulling tights, hair, eye gouges and lots of struts brought frustration out in Tyler Black.  Sweeney capitalized on a missed moonsault by Black and hit the 12 Large Elbow for a victory.  Ryan and Sabin had a competitive match that went back and forth with Sabin gaining an offensive advantage towards the end.  Joey hit a nice dropkick out of nowhere and climbed to the top, hitting a moonsault and taking the match.

In our final first round match Consequences Creed gained victory over Dustin Rhodes with help from an unlikely source.  Strong came to ringside and provided a helping hand to Creed.  Rhodes had the advantage before bein thrown over the top by Consequences.  Creed's leg buckled after the move and he fell to the mat, as the ref checked on him Strong went to work and brutalized Rhodes with the steel steps.  When the ref looked back he counted Rhodes out and Creed got to rest his knee with a victory.

Savage and Steiner locked up next in what was definitely the most star-studded match of the tourney.  The fans started out booing both but got behind Steiner in the end as the Macho Man worked the crowd into a frenzy.  After a beautiful flying elbowdrop right to the tatted chest of Steiner Savage made his way to the semi-finals.  In a definite upset Jay Lethal beat Kevin Nash in our next match-up.  Another classic case of looking over your opponent and Nash paid dearly for the mistake.  Lethal clipped Nash's knee the entire match and immobilized him enough to nail another Flying Elbowdrop to set-up the original Macho Man versus the Neo version.

Larry Sweeney pulled out another victory and we had another run of an elbow finishing off an opponent.  Strong kept looking to the back for Dustin Rhodes to maybe pay retribution but it didn't come to fruition as Sweeney took advantage and made it to the final four.  Consequences Creed looked good again, taking Joey Ryan to school and finishing him off with the Creed-DT.

In the first semi-final matchup the crowd was definitely hyped up.  Randy Savage looked puzzled by the antics of Jay Lethal and ended up getting very vicious in the end.  Lethal paid dearly for his imitation and ended up falling to Savage.  Macho Man choked him several times and showed an impressive display of strength, press-slamming Lethal over the top rope that led to a countout victory.

Creed moved onto the finals against Macho Man despite interference from Dustin Rhodes.  Obviously Rhodes thought Creed must have egged Strong to interfere and decided he would take it on Consequences.  The referee nearly DQ'ed Larry Sweeney when Rhodes tripped up Creed but decided instead to throw Rhodes away from ringside.  Creed came back and got the victory.

Savage came out in a frenzy and looked to make quick work of Creed in the match.  Consequences fought very valiantly and showed up for more of  a fight than his tag partner earlier in the night.  Savage proved too tough though and hit his patented Flying Elbowdrop to gain the victory and the World Title.  After the match Savage egged the fans on more by spitting on Creed while he was tended to by the referee.  Trash flew into the ring and Savage stood tall as the first GSW World Title holder.

CIRCUIT NOTES
Scott Steiner threw a fit after his loss to Randy Savage and quit effective immediately.  This is a big blow to the "star power" of GSW but they intend to tred on.

Hey BonerPosted on 05/04/09 at 23:43:36

Leave it Steiner to take his ball and go home when things don't go his way. This is classic :)

Match observations:
The night started off with a hot six man tag match with loads of talent locked into the ring and ended with the first title defense of our newly crowned champion Randy Savage.  Hart, Evans, and Tornado showed off an array of moves and were one step ahead of the team of El Capitan, Flow, and Spitfire and earned a nice victory.  Big Sexy physically dominated Jacques Rougeau in the next matchup, throwing him to the outside so hard that he could not make the 10 count back in the ring.  

One half of the tag team champs entered the ring in singles competition and looked quite strong doing it.  Kidd has a lot of talent and seems to know it.  Jeering at the fans at several points during the match.  A triangle match between Davey Richards, Jay Lethal, and Matt Cross was full of non-stop action.  All three men were hungry for the victory but Richards ended up as the last man standing after driving Lethal to the mat with a Butterfly Brain Buster.

Jay Briscoe came out like a house of fire and earned an impressive victory over Chris Sabin in just over 30 seconds!  Briscoe hit the J-Driller earlier and spiked Sabin down for the 1,2,3.  Briscoe seemed to be extra fired up after the match, going into the crowd and celebrating his quick victory.  Speaking of fired up, the fans were extremely fired up with the result of our next match.  Dustin Rhodes looked quite good in the ring, dominating the match from the middle point towards the end but after a duck under from a clothesline attempt R-Truth turned a backslide into a victory.  Rhodes kicked at the bottom rope after the match and looked very angry walking to the back.

Randy Savage made it a successful first title defense tonight by defeating the man who fought to a 20-minute time limit draw with Jacques Rougeau two weeks ago.  Savage looked good in the match and was definitely playing the crowd in his hand.  After the match he got on the mic and said they should get used to seeing the Macho Man with the belt.  He's on a mission to prove just how good he still is and won't stop at anything to make it happen.  The planets have aligned for him and he is on a cosmic wave that has no end in sight.  One OOOOHHHHH YEAAAAHHH later and Macho Man was headed away from ringside, threatening fans on the way out as our show ended.

Match observations:
The performances as a whole for tonight's show were quite impressive.  Kevin Nash got his revenge on Jay Lethal by defeating him in a match and exacting revenge for being knocked out of the GSW World Title tourney by Lethal.  Chris Sabin came back after losing in 31 seconds to Jay Briscoe on the last card to win a four corners match against three very talented adversaries.  Sabin finished Joey Ryan off with a rana while Matt Cross and Teddy Hart were lying on the outside after Hart dove onto Cross and both men collided with the fence.

Dustin Rhodes has to be frustrated by his time in GSW.  He's come close to winning every match but has come up short a few times so far.  Consequences Creed interfered against Rhodes again but wasn't vital to the outcome of the match.  Briscoe fought hard and earned his victory tonight.  Jack Evans and El Capitan had one of the most exciting sub 3 minute matches you could see.  Non-stop action from both men and Evans pleases the crowd with his Corkscrew 630.

Tyson Kidd and Scott Lost defeated another team and improved their perfect record.  Cheech and Cloudy are young and talented just like their opponents but made one too many mistakes and didn't have what it takes to earn the titles.  Consequences Creed looked sharp again in the ring up next, beating out Davey Richards who won a triple threat match on the last show, pinning Creed's tag partner Jay Lethal.  In a strange series of events developmental wrestler Flow came out during the main event and caused Human Tornado to fall awkwardly onto the outside of the ring by pulling the top rope down.  Randy Savage took advantage of this and threw Tornado back into the ring and hit him with his Flying Elbowdrop to retain his title once again.  Flow looked pleased with himself after the match and even tried to come in the ring but was slapped across the face with the GSW World Title by Macho Man.  Savage then threw Flow against one of the steel ring posts and got back into the ring to gloat some more over the body of Human Tornado.

Match observations:
Human Tornado came out for the first match with bandages around his rib area from last week's match with Macho Man Randy Savage.  The man who cost him the match Flow came out with a bandage over the right side of his head from the attack he suffered at the hands of Savage after helping Macho Man to victory.  Tornado and Flow both came right after one another despite the injuries and put on one heck of a match.  Tornado proved to be too strong in the end and pulled out the victory while Flow looked very down-trodden and frustrated after the match.

After these two crossed paths in the four corners match last week the GSW heads decided to let them have a one on one match.  Teddy Hart is a lot of things and exciting is at the top of the list but he's also a big risk-taker.  He had the advantage and looked like he was going to pull the match out very early but instead missed a 450 splash and was nailed with a shooting star press from Matt Cross to lose the match.  Another shooting star was the result of the next match as Davey Richards bounced back from last week's loss to Consequences Creed by defeating R-Truth in their match.

Cheech of Cheech and Cloudy fame earned a notch in his belt this week, taking down Larry Sweeney and Tyler Black in a triangle match.  The young Hernandez looks impressive at all times but does make mistakes that may cost him more matches in the future.  Joey Ryan got very lucky tonight not to be caught by the referee with his actions.  Ryan and Sabin were fighting in the corner when the referee got in between the two to break it up.  Ryan pulled out brass knuckles while the referee was lodged in-between trying to keep the two from hitting one another.  Joey pulled back and nailed Sabin right across the jaw, sending him tumbling to the outside.  There was no way Sabin was getting back in the ring and Ryan hid the knux before the referee could see.  Jay Briscoe had been on fire as of late but he ran into the buzz saw known as Roderick Strong.  The Messiah of the Backbreaker was just too Strong in the match and got a submission victory over Briscoe.

Jack Evans thrills the fans just like his tag partner Teddy Hart with his high-flying antics.  After gaining an impressive victory last week he got into the ring with the struggling Jacques Rougeau.  Jacques looked to keep the match on the ground and was highly successful, taking away the legs and working over the back of Evans throughout the match before making him submit to the Quebec Crab for the victory.  Our main event has been brewing for several weeks and came to fruition tonight.  Consequences Creed and Dustin Rhodes have been going back and forth while Jay Lethal and Kevin Nash have both earned victories over one another.  Both teams worked fairly well with one another tonight but the ending was a little hard to watch.  Nash lifted Creed up in a choke lift and would not break the hold.  Jay Lethal tried to run in but was cut off by Dustin Rhodes and both men tumbled to the outside to fight it out.  After the referee counted to five and disqualified Rhodes and Nash he tried to break Nash's hold from around the neck of Creed.  Big Sexy kept his grip on tight for a little over a minute and let the body of Consequences Creed fall to the mat in a heap as the fans sent boos raining down.

Card rating: ** 3/4


Match observations:

What started out as a competitive match in our opening bout turned into a two-on-one affair.  Jacques Rougeau walked out on Larry Sweeney after not being tagged in for nearly five minutes.  Sweeney had opportunities to tag but looked not to and paid dearly for it.  Hart and Evans showed off an array of high flying moves and took Sweeney down in the end.  After interferring in Human Tornado's title shot two weeks ago and getting defeated by Tornado in a singles match last week Flow challenged Tornado to a handicap match this week.  Tornado accepted and looked great in the outing.  The match started out being dominated by Flow and El Capitan but turned three quarters through with Tornado pulling out a victory with a rana.

Dustin Rhodes looked good in his match with Jay Lethal but reportedly caused quite a ruckus backstage afterward with a loud argument with management.  R-Truth and Davey Richards had a back and forth matchup next but one mistake by Richards cost him the match and earned R-Truth the match.  Scott Lost and Tyson Kidd have gone back and forth looking great in some matchups then pedestrian in the next.  The makeshift team of Hodgepodge and Spitfire proved to have a lot of fight versus the champs but inevitably fell victim.  If Lost and Kidd keep this up they won't have the championships much longer against more quality opponents.

Matt Cross excited the crowd against Tyler Black, flying through the air with a high-flying attack that most would kill for.  Black fought hard though and looked impressive in his own right, taking Cross down to the mat in the ladder stages of the match and hitting God's Last Gift to earn himself the win.  The main event of the evening was a four corners match to decide who would take on Randy Savage for the GSW World Title on our next show.  The fans were solidly behind Jay Briscoe and Consequences Creed in this match and were disappointed when Creed was the first eliminated.  Roderick Strong and Kevin Nash formed an alliance for a part of the match but dissolved quickly after both men were trying to get the pin on Briscoe.  The fight between the two was hard and brutal at points with Kevin Nash nearly taking Strong's head off with a big boot to the head.  Nash showed his age and looked out of breath towards the end of the bout.  Briscoe took advantage and hit Nash with several forearm smashes to the face before ultimately pinning him and earning a shot at the World Title.  The fans cheered Briscoe on after the match as he celebrated his victory in the ring.

NEWS

After his blowup with management Dustin Rhodes quit on the spot, effective immediately.  The locker room was quite shook up over the events but management fought back announcing three signings!  CARLITO, "COWBOY" JAMES STORM, and VAMPIRO were reportedly signed and will be appearing on the next show.  After the loss of Rhodes and Steiner a few weeks before GSW needs a shot in the arm and these three will provide a spark GSW management believes.

Match Observations:

It was a night of debuts as Carlito, Vampiro, and James Storm all stepped into the ring for the first time for GSW.  Carlito started the night out with the fans solidly in his corner.  He looked less than impressive, taking almost 9 minutes to dispose of developmental talent Danny Hodgepodge.  'Lito did end up with the victory hitting the Backstabber to give some pain to Hodgepodge.  Cheech and Cloudy gained a very nice victory over the exciting team of Teddy Hart and Jack Evans.  Tyson Kidd and Scott Lost sat at ringside, watching both teams lock-up and it seemed to get in the head of Hart and Evans.  Evans was knocked to the railing when his back was turned jawing with Lost and Hart ate the partly Cloudy with a Chance of Cheech.

Vampiro was also sluggish in his debut, facing off against the small masked man named El Capitan.  Vamp is known from his time in WCW and as a top draw in Mexico along with WSX.  The fans were behind him all the way and he was able to put Capitan away with the Nail in the Coffin.  An exciting six-man tag was up next with the team of Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, and Human Tornado gaining a victory over Matt Cross, R-Truth, and Chris Sabin.  James Storm face the stiffest competition of the three debuting wrestlers as he took on Davey Richards in a hard fought match.  Storm made it 3-for-3 for the new talent in GSW, finishing Richards off with a nice flying forearm right to the jaw.

Larry Sweeney was pissed after being walked out on by Jacques Rougeau last week and was taken to school by the ring veteran.  Rougeau showed more fire than he has in any match so far in GSW, taking care of Sweeney with a sick piledriver in just over two minutes.  The fans ended the night on a down note as crowd favorite Jay Briscoe took on Randy Savage in a match he earned last week by defeating Roderick Strong, Kevin Nash, and consequences Creed.  Briscoe fought very hard and pushed Macho Man to the limits but this old dog still has a few tricks up his sleeve.  He warmed up the neck of Briscoe throughout the match, hitting him with different choke holds and a neck snap over the ropes.  Briscoe was trying to take a breather on the outside and with shades of Steamboat/Savage Macho Man hit him from behind with a double ax-handler from the top rope, driving Briscoe's throat right into the railing.  With his breath knocked out Savage threw him back in the ring and hit a clothesline to retain his title.

Savage looks to have planted himself at the top of the roster and doesn't look to relinquish it any time soon.  He's been strong in all matches and although facing defeat at many points in all his matches he has pulled out the win every time.  The fans may not like it but the Macho Man is the man to beat.

Match observations:

The feud between Larry Sweeney and Jacques Rougeau is heating up folks.  Tonight Sweeney came to ringside and sat along without incident for most of the match.  Rougeau continually looked to ringside and was blind-sided a few times by Tornado for making the mistake.  Finally Sweeney tripped Jacques up, which obviously sent Rougeau into a fury.  He started yelling at Sweeney, then switched his focus to yelling at the ref to get Sweeney from ringside.  Tornado took advantage and hit his Tornado-Plex to notch himself a victory.  After the match Sweeney belly laughed while Rougeau lied on the mat clutching at his head.

Two of the newcomers to GSW locked up in our next bout with James Storm earning himself an impressive victory over the man from the Caribbean Carlito.  Lethal and Consequences Creed teamed up with one another again to take on the high flying team of Matt "M-Dogg 20" Cross and R-Truth.  This was an exciting matchup with the fans solidly behind both teams but in the end Creed and Lethal proved to be the better, earning themselves another tag victory.

Davey Richards is quite the talented wrestler but he seems to have the problem of being in and out of consistency.  This week he was on it, taking down the talented Joey Ryan in a back and forth match.  Ryan looked flustered after the match, pounding the mat with his fist several times, even drawing blood from himself.  Kevin Nash put the challenge out to Jay Briscoe for a rematch after Briscoe took him down to earn a shot at Randy Savage on the last show.  Briscoe accepted and came down to the ring with a protective lining over his throat area.  Last week's offensive attack by Savage left Briscoe with a bruised larynx.  Nash's experience and size usually leads him to victory but you could tell he was just out for revenge in this match and didn't have much of a gameplan except go directly after Briscoe.  Jay played it smart though and used his speed advantage to run laps around the big man.  Nash got a few shots in but got caught up in a quick small package for the victory.  Briscoe high tailed it out of the ring after the match, not wanting to risk another attack from Nash.  Big Sexy kicked at the ropes and yelled at Briscoe, audibly calling him a jobber and a pussy.

After Tyson Kidd and Scott Lost seemingly cost Hart and Evans their tag match last week they were immediately challenged for the straps and accepted.  It looked as though Kidd/Lost were over-confident leading into the match and they paid dearly.  Hart and Evans' high flying attack wore their opponents down and Hart managed to make Kidd pass out in an Indian Deathlock while Lost and Evans fought at ringside.  Kidd and Lost did not take the loss very well, as Lost woke up Kidd after the match and the two threw quite the tantrum while Evans and Hart celebrated with the fans in attendance.  We will see what is to come between these two teams but with the ties to the Hart family on both sides and a lot of talent mixed in the sky is the limit for these four.

Match observations:

The night started off with a bang as Tyson Kidd and Scott Lost looked to rebound after losing their tag straps to Teddy Hart and Jack Evans.  They took on the team  of Matt Cross and R-Truth in a very, very good match.  The fans were excited from  the onset and all four men left it all in the ring.  It was a back and forth match with loads of near falls and high flying moves thrown out by Cross and R-Truth.  

Fatigue set in on all four competitors and provided Lost enough to pin R-Truth with  a crucifix to earn a hard-fought victory. Davey Richards looked good again, earning a victory over Vampiro. Carlito and Roderick Strong knocked the hell out of one another and Carlito managed to pull out the victory by hitting the Backstabber after a missed clothesline from Strong.  

Kevin Nash was all business in his matchup with KC "Cloudy" Day.  He beat Day pillar to post and ended the match quickly with the Jackknife Power Bomb.  Chris Sabin has been on a slide as of late and continued down that path by losing  to Jay Lethal in the next matchup.  Lethal looked good and put Sabin down with the  Flying Elbowdrop.  Our tag champs were both in singles action in the next two matchups and both gained victory over their opponents.   Teddy Hart took care of Consequences Creed while Jack Evans earned a victory over Human Tornado.

Jacques Rougeau and Larry Sweeney fought one another again after Rougeau took Sweeney out last week.  This was more of a brawl than a wrestling match as both men  went right after one another.  Sweeney was much more serious than usual and took  the fight to Rougeau.  Both men fought to ringside and ended up going through the crowd and fighting to a double countout.  Joey Ryan was able to pull out a victory over Jay Briscoe with help from Kevin Nash.  Nash has been on a rampage backstage  after being bested by Briscoe and gave Jay a big boot to the face while the referee  was checking on Joey Ryan after a brainbuster.  Nash stared down Briscoe's body after the match before walking to the back.

Tyler Black looked like he may become the new GSW World Title holder but got his hopes dashed by an unlikely source--James Storm.  Tyler Black hit the God's Last Gift on Savage and went for the pin and victory before Storm ambushed the ring and started attacking Black.  The referee quickly called for the bell and Storm then focused his attack on Savage.  Black got up in a rage and attacked Storm and soon all three men were fighting with one another.  Officials came down to ringside and broke the fight up as the show ended.

NOTES

The six-man main event broke down halfway through as all six men brawled with one another.  The referee finally counted out the legal man on the team of Storm, Briscoe, and Sweeney.  Fans got in on the action as Storm and Black fought into the audience and to the concession area.

Management has announced several upcoming matches to take place on different cards.

Larry Sweeney [vs] Jacques Rougeau Falls Count Anywhere match

Jay Briscoe [vs] Kevin Nash grudge match

Tyler Black [vs] James Storm for #1 contender to GSW World Title

Randy Savage has made no bones about not caring who takes him on for the GSW World Title.  He said no one in GSW can beat the Macho Man  and so far he's proved just that.  Wrestlers have taken exception to the fact that Savage has disrespected his opponents both inside and outside the ring and the come uppance for his actions looks to be great.

Jay Briscoe had choice words for Kevin Nash after the six-man tag match calling him a washed up old man with hair like a 60 year old woman.  Briscoe said he didn't give a damn how much bigger Nash was, it was time for him to MAN UP and take his beating.

Card rating: ***


Match observations:

Jay Briscoe was highly impressive and pulled out another victory over Kevin Nash in their grudge match tonight.  Nash looked increasingly frustrated throughout the match and let his head get him out of the game, taking his eyes off Briscoe for a second and getting a superkick right to the temple.  Briscoe yelled at Nash's body after the match, yelling various obscenities before celebrating in the crowd like he just wont the World Title.

Tyler Black and James Storm will collide soon for the number one contendership to Randy Savage's GSW World Title.  Both men earned victories tonight as did Savage in another title defense.  This time against tag specialist Cheech Hernandez.  Carlito came into his match with Roderick Strong and hit Strong over the head hard with a chair, injuring his neck in the process.  

He got on the mic afterward and said he's not happy at his place in the company and will have to take it by any means necessary if that's how management wanted.  The fans booed him with some mixed cheers because he was doing it to Strong of all people who is not well-liked.  

NOTES

Next show Larry Sweeney and Jacques Rougeau are settling their differences in a falls count anywhere match along with Davey Richards getting a rematch against Chris Sabin and much more!

Card rating: ** 3/4

Match observations:  

Carlito kept his promise from last week, tearing through R-Truth tonight and hoping to notch himself a position higher up on the card.  Davey Richards got a rematch with Chris Sabin after falling to him last week and earned a victory via disqualification after Sabin tried hitting Richards with a ring bell.  

Teddy Hart and Jack Evans retained their tag titles by defeating Matt Cross and Tyler Black.  Jay Briscoe gained another victory after defeating Kevin Nash last week by hitting the J-Driller on Cheech Hernandez.  Speaking of Big Sexy, he bounced back from his defeat at the hands of Briscoe last week and looked like a man on a mission.  He dominated Joey Ryan throughout the match and put it away with a brutal kick right to the head of Ryan.

Jacques Rougeau and Larry Sweeney fought tooth and nail against one another and showed off loads of hatred.  Rougeau was the first man to bleed after Sweeney rammed his head repeatedly into the side railing near the ring.  The Sweet n' Sour one got a taste of his own medicine moments later when a reverse irish whip sent him face first into the ring post and causing blood to just POUR out of his head.  Fans tried to get away in horror as the men fought through the crowd, Sweeney's blonde locks were completely covered in blood and Rougeau had the liquid smeared along his chest and running to his mouth.  

Neither man wanted to give up but the match finally ended with Rougeau hitting a brutal piledriver near a popcorn stand at the concession area.  The move knocked Sweeney right out and after Rougeau's hand was raised and he fell to his knee in fatigue a puddle of blood began forming around Sweeney while a medical team looked him over.

NOTES
Sweeney will still be able to compete after his brutal match with Jacques Rougeau, but will do so with a mighty big battle scar.  Doctors had to place 43 stitches through the forehead of Sweeney to close the large gash right between his eyes.  Rougeau went to the hospital as well in fear of a concussion after appearing woozy after the match and falling into items backstage but he was also cleared.

Our next card features the number one contenders matchup between "Cowboy" James Storm and Tyler Black.  The winner of the match will face Randy Savage for the GSW World Title soon.

Unfortunately my TNM crashed today and I didn't create a backup of GSW like an idiot.  I had several cards ran in advance and don't know the heat ratings of the wrestlers so I won't be continuing with this project.  I do however have an idea that I will be posting shortly and running that I WILL back up.  

I'm used to not having any problems with TNM so that explains my lackadaisical approach.  See ya' soon!
