HARD KNOX WRESTLING
"MORRISTOWN MADNESS"
DATE: JUNE 24, 2006
LOCATION: MENNAN ARENA, MORRISTOWN, NJ
HKW took it's first step out of the NY area with tonight's show in Morristown, NJ at the Mennan Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ. The Ring of Honor promotion held their event here last night and the crowd was buzzing before our show with rumors that some RoH guys would show up in the building and maybe even in the ring as well.
We started our night off with HC Loc & Tony Devito in the middle of the ring with microphone in hand. Tony Devito got right to the point and talked about how they havent had the best of luck as of late especially with their handicap loss to Jack Ripper 2 weeks back. He then went on to put a challenge out to anyone in the locker room to meet them in the ring.
BJ Whitmer came down to the ring by himself and HC Loc had this to say:
"Hey Whitmer, last time I checked... Rhyno ain't around Hard Knox no more. So just who is it that ya gonna tag with NOW, huh?"
Tony Devito piped in with "Maybe he'll go with Mohammed Yone" and both men laughed.
Their laughter was cut short as we heard over the loudspeaker "HUSS...HUSS...HUSS" and down the
aisle ran "The Barbaric Berzerker" and Whitmer's regular tag partner over in Ring of Honor, JIMMY JACOBS!

The Carnage Crew were coming off a terrible handicap loss to Jack Ripper a few weeks back at The Chris Candido Memorial Event.
Tonight, they issued an open challenge and it was answered by BJ Whitmer and Jimmy Jacobs, who happen to be the reigning tag champions in the Ring of Honor promotion.
Unfortunately, Whitmer and Jacobs did not go over well against The Crew but with Jacobs now signed to a 6 month contract with HKW, there's a chance for them to get a second chance.

Unlike the last time they teamed up, Styles and Daniels did not see eye to eye and it cost them the win. Daniels was in a pinning predicament and Styles just chose NOT to make the save. Something tells me these two will NOT be on the same side of the ring anymore.
We were treated to a special treat as RING OF HONOR'S World champion, AUSTIN ARIES jumped the rail and got in Daniel's face.
