Tonight on ASWA on PPV we've got quite the
show for you once again. After a very good
showing against ASWA Heavyweight champion Bret
Hart in a non-title match last month, Rey Mysterio
has been given another non-title match to prove
himself, this time against Great American champion
Sylvain Grenier. We'll see Jeff Farmer take on
new comer Booker T and another knew comer Kanyon
will face Mick Foley who it has been reported has
been acting distant and just a little weird since
last month. The winners of those matches will face
each other to determine who will be the NEW #1
contender after tonight. bWo member Shark Boy will
take on Gran Akuma who it seems might be looking
for the same singles success that partner Gronda has
had recently, Roadkill will have his hands full against
Warlord, one half of the tag team champions Buck
Quartermain will team with fellow Scorpions member
the Big Show against the men that Big Show faced last
month Palumbo & Stamboli, to determine new number one
contenders for the tag titles we'll have a 4-corners
match featuring Kevin Nash & Brian Adams, Chase
Stevens & Seth Skyfire, the Caribbean Cartel and once
again as a team Christopher Nowinski & Hector Garza.
Plus Jon Dahmer takes on Tony Mamaluke, after complaining
last month of wanting a 'real match' Commissioner Ventura
has put Roddy Piper in a match against Sting, in the
semi-main event Bret Hart will try and defend his ASWA
Heavyweight title against the #1 contender Vader and
in the main event Blue Meanie & Stevie Richards will face
Gronda and special guest wrestler "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair!

something to say about it.

Killings to a fair reaction from the crowd.

ya Vader! I said that the first chance I gots I'd

Vader: Killings you better think twice before you
try and bring back that war Killings. I'm in line
for a ASWA title shot tonight. A match that I will
win. I blew through a whole line of guys two months
ago to get this shot, what makes you think that you,
one measly little man can stop Big Van Vader? But
Ron, I'll tell you what. I think you'd make a nice
little WARM UP match for me right now!

Ok, I'm going to try and preview the next card. I'm won't be able to do near as good a job as Eric, but let me know if it sucks so bad that it's not worth doing in the future. :)
[hr]
Next month, August the 5th LIVE on PPV from the Spectrum in Philly, P.A.... ASWA!
So far lined up for the card...
Ron Killings and Vader will continue their ongoing feud that dates back longer than just March when they both came into the ASWA. So far Ron Killings is 0-2-1 against Vader, can he finally get that mark in the W column? Hector Garza will face Chase Stevens. Roadkill will do battle with Roddy Piper, who just two months ago refered to Roadkill as one of the freaks when he was told he'd be teaming with him and the bWo. Speaking of the bWo, Shark Boy will go one-on-one with Seth Skyfire and Blue Meanie & Stevie Richards will face Palumbo & Stamboli and they've also announced that they'll be introducing a NEW bWo member! Two big men will do battle as Kevin Nash and Warlord square off. Todd Sexton will face Kanyon. Booker T will take on Gran Akuma, who hasn't been doing as well in singles action as former partner Gronda seems to be doing and while we're on the subject of large red men, Gronda will also be facing Great American Champion Sylvain Grenier for the title next month. The tag team titles will also will be defended as champions Sting & Buck Quartermain are set to face off against the Caribbean Cartel. A new #1 contender will be crowned as Christopher Nowinski, Brian Adams, Jon Dahmer and the Big Show will face each other in a 4-corners match and the main attraction; Bret Hart will defend the Heavyweight title against Mick Foley!
