Rating: ***


Hard Knox Wrestling has acquired from WILD the impressive big man they call  `Genocide' Jack Ripper and signed him to a 6 month deal. Also signed to a 6 month contract was Tony DeVito who comes to us from Ring of Honor.

Both men put on an impressive debut showing and we hope they will keep it up in the future.

We were all set for our next matchup when we heard the familiar opening theme music from WWE RAW play over the PA system and from behind the backstage curtain was RANDY ORTON!!!


Randy Orton speaks:

Randy Orton walked on to the stage overlooking the ring with the Head of the Class title slung over his shoulder. He begins to talk about his victory over Hassan at Battle at Dix  Hills 2 weeks back and  then goes on to say how HKW obviously sees more in him than LIW does which is why they made him the champ.

He continued to say that TONIGHT he WILL defend the title against whoever is the current Top Contender and he WILL remain the champion and showcase his skills and the title belt all over the wrestling world - INCLUDING LIW.

Orton stayed up on the stage and took a seat as we were set for our next match which was to decide the Top Contender for the Head of the Class title.

As each man came down to ringside, they all gave Orton a good hard look to indicate that they don't care for him holding the title that they so desperately want.

Hassan was obviously trying to get under the skin of all the possible contenders and even weaken them so they could not take the title off of Orton <something that he obviously wants to do on his own>. Orton watched all this go down and did not lift a finger to combat it.

The match seemed at some points to be 3 on 1 against AJ Styles but then it broke back down to a 4 way every man for himself contest.

In the end, Johnny Ace secured himself a shot at the title later tonight and pointed right at Hassan and then Orton before heading towards the back.

Spiky Jim has lost it and decided to SHOOT on Rhyno and as a result, Rhyno has suffered a pretty severe neck injury. Rhyno has only 3 months left on his current contract so we unfortunately have to let him out of his contract early due to this injury. We are also considering letting Spiky go for his unprofessionalism.

As previously reported, Chris Candido has passed away at the age of 33 and our next event will be the "Chris Candido Memorial". The lineup has not been shapened up at this time but we promise to get something out in the next few days.
rey619Posted on 05/02/05 at 01:01:22

Jack Ripper? Fantasy? Great name of the finisher though, I can just picture him picking up the big DeVito and slamming him down. Is Ripper a big guy?

You got a 5 star too? Congrats! Didn't see Ace coming on top there, though. Daniels isn't having the best week of his life, resultwise that is. But dishing out two 5 stars must make him proud (yeah I know you are in May while I'm in Mars.. but hey.. if we thought that way, Matt&Lita would have broken up last year, same with Chris Candido's death).

Speaking of which? This was his last match, yes? It should be cool to see what you do for his memorial. He went a few matches with me too, so I'm gonna do something at the next show, not sure what yet.

Good post!
Shaun SindelmanPosted on 05/02/05 at 15:00:31

Yep - Jack is indeed a fantasy character ... huge mofo to say the least.

Yea - that was amazing talent in the 4 way dance...certainly worthy of the 5 * rating. Let's see how Ace vs Orton ends up though.

And yes, that was indeed Candido's last match since he passed a day or 2 after the event was over. Good thing he dropped the titles on his own or else i'd have to prolly make up some way to crown new champs. As for what i plan to do for the memorial, i'll prolly bring in some 1 night only people who spent a good amount of time with Chris to compete in his honor.
