CP Tag Team Extraordinare - 11/4/05
| Vertigo | Posted on 04/11/05 at 19:03:50 Cincinnati Pro presents Tag Team Extraordinaire Friday, November 4, 2005 Bell Time: 8:00 p.m. Place: Peel's Palace in Florence, Kentucky (Cameras cut to action going down in the back! All we can see are wrestlers and staff scattered everywhere and shouting. At further investigation we see the main focus appears to be Marty Jannetty. He has a documented temper problem and it's apparent that his temper was set off by something. He is shouting to the other end of the hallway where the camera pans over to see a group of guys. It looks like a few of the wrestlers are holding back El Dandy... and El Dandy's face looks like it was just tagged with punches as he has a bloody lip and his cheek looks swollen. Jannetty and Dandy have been fueding for months now and it's still not been settled! CEO Russ Myers is in the middle of this mess and he finally gets everyone to shutup for a second...) CEO Russ Myers: Guys! GUYS! Enough is enough! For months you have been at each other's throats! Marty Jannetty... El Dandy... you both originally had the night off... but you two have got to be punished for this outburst you've caused! Tonight... the two of you... in a STREETFIGHT! Come dressed as you are... we want this thing SETTLED FOR GOOD!! (Marty Jannetty has completely calmed down by the announcement of the Streetfight and he has a smile on his face. He walks away calmly with the babyfaces that were trying to hold him back just moments ago. On the other side of the hallway... El Dandy has panic in his face! He's pleading to keep the night off and not go through with the Streetfight, but CEO Russ Myers isn't having any of that. The match is on! El Dandy starts screaming at everyone in sight, including Ahmed Johnson who was trying to keep things under control... ) El Dandy: Esto no es justo! Nunca convine este fosforo! An outrage I say! I will not do it! Alguien para esto! Ahmed Johnson: Cool your jets, daddy-o. Not a damn person around here's knows what the hell you're saying. Ain't no reason to be screamin' and spittin' on everybody. El Dandy: Que? You mean like 'dis... (Dandy spits right in Ahmed's face) (Ahmed wipes the spit from his face... and then punches Dandy right in the mouth, flooring him.) Ahmed Johnson: Yes... exactly like that. (Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton appear. Together with Ahmed, they have a good laugh at the expense of El Dandy.) (Peel's Palace is PACKED this evening! It's a sold-out, standing room only, turn-away crowd! This being only the second time Cincinnati Pro has been to Peel's Palace, it's obvious we made a hell of a first impression with our first show here, Summer Showdown. Tonight, we see our first ever Tag Team Champions crowned in a one-night, eight team tournament! We're ready to start our first tournament match... ) 1. CP Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals - Alexander Otsuka & Josh Abercrombie vs. The Headbangers Thrasher hits Josh Abercrombie. Thrasher tags out to Mosh. Alexander Otsuka enters the ring and lays out Thrasher. Alexander Otsuka is being booed like there is no tomorrow. Josh Abercrombie and Alexander Otsuka whip Mosh into the ropes. They hit Mosh with a double fist to the midsection. Alexander Otsuka leaves the ring. Josh Abercrombie hits a Northern Lights suplex on Mosh. Steve Ulmer counts: One, kickout. Josh Abercrombie puts Mosh in a dragon sleeper. Mosh tries to escape the hold. Steve Ulmer asks Mosh if he's had enough. Mosh doesn't respond. Steve Ulmer stops the fight after 16 seconds. The crowd is going into a frenzy. The winners are Alexander Otsuka and Josh Abercrombie. Time of match: 0:05:29 [Tag Team Championship Quarterfinals]: No-Time-Limit-Match Alexander Otsuka and Josh Abercrombie defeated The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher) when Abercrombie defeated Mosh when Mosh passed out in a dragon sleeper in 0:05:29. Rating: *** [Mike Awesome interfered against Thrasher.] No one is exactly sure what business Mike Awesome had at ringside. At first it was thought that maybe he was there to assist Otsuka & Abercrombie, but after involving himself against Thrasher, Otsuka snapped and jumped outside of the ring to confront Awesome. The referee had to step between them and Abercrombie had to pull Otsuka away from Awesome. In any event, however, Abercrombie & Otsuka looked like they had been a tag team for years. They controlled the better portion of the match and when it was all over, Abercrombie submitted Mosh with a dragon sleeper. Apparently Otsuka has been teaching Abercrombie some effective submission holds. 2. CP Tag Team Championship Tournament Quarterfinals - Jamie Noble & The Patriot vs. Pierroth Jr. & Rayo de Jalisco Jr. Pierroth Jr. catches Jamie Noble in a boot choke.

Time of match: 0:03:48 [Tag Team Championship Quarterfinals]: No-Time-Limit-Match Jamie Noble and The Patriot defeated Rayo De Jalisco Jr. and Pierroth Jr. when Noble defeated Pierroth Jr. by disqualification in 0:03:48. Rating: -3/4* This definatly was not a barn burner. Patriot and Jalisco started out just exchanging chops and power holds. Noble & The Patriot worked okay as a team, but not as well as the luchadore duo. In the end, the referee was forced to DQ Pierroth Jr. after repeatedly warning him for his use of illegal chokeholds. (Following the match, the luchadores got into the referee's face. The Patriot came over and tried to keep the peace until finally the luchadore's left ringside. By this time, Noble was on his feet still gasping for breath. The Patriot came over and put his hand on Noble's shoulder, but Noble slapped it away and gave The Patriot a look. He then asked for the microphone...) Jamie Noble: What the hell kind of partner are you, Del? First you let them double team me repeatedly, and then you didn't even try to stop them when they almost choked me to death?! (The Patriot looks puzzled and is trying to keep Noble from losing his temper.) Oh wait... then, after the match... you don't even stick up for me!! You're more worried about that idiot referee's well-being than mine!! (Noble drops the microphone and turns his back. The Patriot goes to turn Noble around, but when Noble turns around he slaps The Patriot right across the mouth. The Patriot shakes off the slap and clinches his fists. He then picks up the microphone...) The Patriot: Noble... if you've got a problem... then let's deal with it RIGHT NOW!! IN THIS RING!! (The Patriot drops the microphone and puts his fists up. Noble nods his head in agreement and the two prepare to go at it. The referee just shrugs his shoulders and calls for the bell... we have an impromptu matchup!) 3. Impromptu Match - Jamie Noble vs. The Patriot The Patriot goes for a Japanese armdrag takedown, but Jamie Noble counters it with an elbowsmash.

The Patriot has the crowd going wild. The winner is The Patriot. Time of match: 0:11:05 The Patriot made Jamie Noble submit to an abdominal stretch in 0:11:05. Rating: *** These two went at each other with a lot of aggression. Last month we saw a little tension between this team, but we never thought it would escalate into an actual match between the two! After only two matches as a team, they're already at each other's throats! Both guys really wanted to make a point in this match and they fought valiantly. The Patriot was able to hang in there and not submit to Noble's Trailer Hitch submission, while Noble somehow managed to kick out of the dreaded Uncle Slam. But The Patriot is so much bigger and stronger than Noble and it was this advantage that led to the victory. The Patriot, with every ounce of muscle in his body, stretched the much smaller Noble with the abdominal stretch and Noble had to submit. After the match was over, The Patriot extended his hand to Noble... and Noble accepted his defeat and shook the hand of The Patriot. We're glad these two are getting along again... because they're STILL IN THE TOURNAMENT!! They face Alexander Otsuka & Josh Abercrombie in the next round! (For our next match, the Insane Clown Posse make their way to the ring. They've grown to become the most hated tag team in Cincinnati Pro. They haven't really done anything bad as far as cheating to win goes or anything like that... people just hate them for who they are. They seem to eat this up, though, and add fuel to the fire by continually acting like clowns and just being obnoxious. Their opponents... first, introducing Chris Hero. Chris Hero wanted in this tournament and he did not care who his tag team partner was because he said no matter who it was, he would go all the way. And his partner... we're not sure... we hear something over the speaker that sounds like... jungle music and tribal chants? Who in the hell could this be... OH MY GOD!! With a spear and a shield... out from behind the curtain... THE UGANDAN GIANT, KAMALA!! Chris Hero is not sure what to make of this... Kamala is CRAZY! The ICP are going absolutely bezerk! The fans are going wild! This is going to be VERY interesting!) 4.

Rating: ** 1/2 Chris Hero was a little reluctant to tag Kamala in the first time, but when he did, he was pleased with the result. Kamala took the fight right to the ICP and cooperated well with Chris Hero. This match did not stay in traditional tag team format for very long as this match broke down and broke down hard. There was a ton of brawling on the floor involving all four wrestlers and such a scramble when anyone was in the ring. In the end, with Violent J having his hands full with Kamala outside of the ring, Chris Hero was able to get in a series of high impact moves leading to the Hero's Welcome for the finish. Amazing... we will see Kamala at least one more time tonight! And what if they win again? What if Kamala and Chris Hero become the CP Tag Team Champions!? That will be something to see... (Backstage, Christopher Nowinski and Mark Henry are walking in the hallway...) Mark Henry: ... yes, man... I know this. You've been saying it all night... Christopher Nowinski: Mark! Are you not mad about it? Mark Henry: Yeah man... I'm just as mad as you are, but I didn't go and write a twenty-two page essay about it and put together a ten minute presentation for the committee... Christopher Nowinski: Well maybe you should have. If you did, then maybe we WOULD be in the Tag Team Championship Tournament. Instead, all they could guarentee was a spot for us in a Four Corners Tag Team Match next month. Mark Henry: Well then let's concentrate on that... and besides... I'm tired of you whining in my ear about the tournament... Christopher Nowinski: What is there to concentrate on, Mark? You're the World's Strongest Man! With you're brawn and my brains... we're an unstoppable force! You're the biggest, toughest, stiffest, baddest man in Cincinnati Pro... (Just then, Nowinksi is stopped in his tracks when he bumps into none other than Vader...) Vader: Who's the biggest, baddest man in Cincinnati Pro? Christopher Nowinski: Umm... Mark... Henry... is... Vader: Think about this... I'm going to ask you again... WHO'S THE MAN!? (Mark Henry steps in front of Nowinski and Vader and Henry are nose-to-nose. Vader raises his arms giving the patented Vader sign with his hands... and then he chuckles and walks off... Nowinski waits until Vader is gone and then speaks up again... ) Christopher Nowinksi: You see what I mean, Mark? Vader... he's not as tough as you are. Did you see him laugh when he realized that you could kick his ass? Huh? Did you notice that... Mark Henry: (sarcastically)... Yeah... I saw it... you need to stop talking and start watching where you're walking... 5.

Rating: * 1/4 In the beginning, Strike Force was overwhelming Buff Bagwell with their speed and various offensive maneuvers. Bagwell could not keep up with them nor could he defend himself. However, Tito made the mistake of chasing Bagwell to the floor where he was cut off and slammed into the guardrail. From that point on, it was all Vicious & Delicious. Strike Force tried to regain some offense, but time and time again they were shot down. Scott Norton's Power Bomb on Rick Martel was the end of this one and Vicious & Delicious move on to the semi-finals to take on the unorthodox duo of Chris Hero and "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala! (After the match, Hardcore Holly and Al Snow hit the ring. The crowd is in an uproar! What are they doing out here!? Buff is so busy flexing that he doesn't even notice them. Holly spins Buff around and gives him a dropkick in the face. Norton sees this and nails Holly with a forearm to the back. But then Al Snow grabs Norton by the waist and drags him into a corner where the two start exchanging punches! Snow gets an advantage and shoots Norton into the ropes... Al Snow drops down, Norton crosses over.. BAM! Hardcore Holly scores with another high and violent dropkick. Norton goes down and rolls to the floor. Holly and Snow are standing on the second turnbuckle of opposite corners posing to the crowd! They don't even notice Vicious & Delicious's new ally Ahmed Johnson hit the ring. Ahmed sneaks up behing Holly and pushes him off the ropes and to the floor. He then pulls Snow backwards down into the ring where Snow hits his head hard on the mat. Ahmed pulls him up and gives him a double underhook into... the Pearl River Plunge! Snow is down and hurt. Bagwell is on his feet and he starts putting some boots to Al Snow. Holly starts getting to his feet on the outside, but Norton cuts him off and slams him into the guardrail. Norton then slides back into the ring and all three men are putting the boots to Al Snow.

Right off the bat, Ian Rotten countered a Hayabusa springboard rana into a powerbomb. Following that, Rotten put the pressure on Hayabusa doing anything he could to put Hayabusa away. But Hayabusa fought back and when it looked like he was about to put Ian away with the Stardust Press, Ian miraculously got his shoulder up. This aggrivated Hayabusa to no end who had some words with the referee. When the referee insisted that Rotten got his shoulder up, Hayabusa grabbed the referee and tossed him out of the ring. For about 3 more minutes following the incident, Ian and Hayabusa went at it with another referee on duty but still no one could put away the other. The original referee knew that this match was a big grudge match and he let some things slide like repeated choking and the use of a chair, but he had to draw the line. When he came to, he DQ'd Hayabusa for putting his hands on him. This was not a popular decision with the fans, Hayabusa, or even Ian Rotten. Ian really wanted to defeat Hayabusa cleanly as he stated when he told Cincinnati Pro that no other IWA-Mid South wrestlers would interfere. Ian is awarded the victory by DQ, but we here at Cincinnati Pro feel that this will not be the last we see of Ian Rotten and Hayabusa. (We are about to begin the Semifinal round of the Tag Team Championship Tournament when AL SNOW comes to the ring. He looks extremely angry. He gets on the microphone...) Al Snow: When we came out here earlier, it was to get our hands on Vicious & Delicious. Hardcore Holly and mysefl still owe them after what they did to Hardcore months ago. We never got our revenge. And then tonight, after Cincinnati Pro refused to put us in the Tag Team Tournament, we had to take matters into our own hands. We're respectful enough of Strike Force not to interfere in their match, so we waited until it was over to make our move. But Ahmed Johnson, you son of a bitch, you had to spoil our fun! So Vicious & Delicious have a new friend here in Cincinnati Pro, do they? Well, Ahmed Johnson, I don't think you've recieved a proper welcome! So what you can do is... you can put the cheeseburgers down, you can get your ass off Bagwell's lap, and you can bring it to this ring so I can kick it! (Vicious & Delicious step through the curtain... followed by Ahmed Johnson. Ahmed then asks them to go to the back. Ahmed is overheard saying "This will be a piece of cake, guys, and Snow is going to get eaten." Bagwell and Norton remind Ahmed about his diet before obliging and stepping back through the curtain. Ahmed then runs to the ring followed by a referee and we've got ourselves ANOTHER impromptu matchup!) 7. Impromtu Match - Ahmed Johnson vs. Al Snow They lock up.

Time of match: 0:05:32 [Tag Team Championship Semifinals]: No-Time-Limit-Match Jamie Noble and The Patriot defeated Alexander Otsuka and Josh Abercrombie when Patriot made Abercrombie submit to a full nelson in 0:05:32. Rating: ** 1/2 Unbelievable! One would think that after already wrestling twice The Patriot would be fatigued, but he showed no signs as he DOMINATED Abercrombie for the entire five and half minutes of this match. Otsuka did what he could to prevent Abercrombie from getting pinned, but he just could not keep up with The Patriot! The Patriot also never tagged Noble into the match. Noble wanted in badly and sometimes he just came in without even a tag, but The Patriot never gave him any opportunity for offense. Could this be because he felt he may have hurt Noble too much in their impromptu match? Or was it just to spite Noble for his attitude shown earlier in the match? Either way, this really pissed Noble off who was bitching in the ring as The Patriot left with his hands raised in victory. Abercrombie was out of it and needed Otsuka's help getting to the back. 10.

Rating: 3/4* A very disappointing loss here for Chris Hero. He didn't even get a chance to get any offense in on Vicious & Delicious. Instead, Scott Norton and Kamala just exchanged shots for 2 minutes straight. The fans were loving the stiffness and seeing both these huge guys wail on one another. Norton went cheap and kicked Kamala in the midsection and followed it up with a spinebuster slam for the win. Chris Hero was visably upset. Norton was looking more fierce than ever after scoring the win... and Buff was just all smiles in the corner. Vicious & Delicious advance to the finals rather easily to take on the battered, beaten, and worn out Jamie Noble & The Patriot. 11.

The winner is Matt Stryker. Time of match: 0:11:15 Matt Stryker pinned Volk Han after a power bomb in 0:11:15. Rating: *** (Matt Stryker won the CP Tri-State Heavyweight Championship) [Alexander Otsuka and Josh Abercrombie interfered against Volk Han.] Volk Han granted this match to Matt Stryker after Stryker saved Han from an attack by Alexander Otsuka & Josh Abercrombie last month. These two started off furious trying to get a quick pin or submission over the other. Then Otsuka & Abercrombie came to the ring... both Han and Stryker were momentarily distracted by the appearance of the two, but then they went at each other again. Mid-way through the match, Otsuka got involved by nailing Han in the back with a chair. At the end of the match after a brief fight outside of the ring, Stryker scored with a power bomb that Han could not kick out of. Matt Stryker WON the Tri-State Heavyweight Championship!! (Stryker rolled out of the ring still hurt from the battle, but Otsuka & Abercrombie rolled into the ring. Abercrombie pulled Han to his feet and held his arms behind him while Otsuka nailed some fierce punches on Han. Stryker seeing what was going on jumped into the ring and tackled Otsuka to the mat. Abercrombie let go of Han and bailed to the outside of the ring. Stryker then pulled Han to his feet, threw his arm around his shoulder and tried his best to keep Han standing. What a sign of respect out of Matt Styker. Otsuka & Abercrombie look pissed outside of the ring. Stryker is pointing threats in their direction. Together, Stryker and Han are going to be a hell of a force to reckon with! They will.... BAM!! Stryker just nailed Han with the Championship belt! What is going on!? Otsuka & Abercrombie jump into the ring and start putting the boots to Han! Stryker has a smile on his face and he then joins in on the stomping! What kind of crap is this?! The fans are near rioting! Stryker asked for a microphone...) Matt Stryker: What's the matter? You don't like *me,* your hometown hero anymore? (more boos from the fans and some are even hurling garbage into the ring) When Alexander came to me with this plan he had, I thought it was brilliant! I had to jump on board! Look at me now... I'm holding the Tri-State Heavyweight Championship! Things didn't work out exactly as planned with Alexander and Josh, but soon enough you can bet that we will hold every championship in Cincinnati Pro. Oh... but he couldn't put this whole thing together by himself. Alexander... introduce these moronic fans to the person who helped build us, the new empire of Cincinnati Pro... Alexander Otsuka: Welcome... BECKY.. BAYLESS!! (Unbelievable! Becky Bayless is on this crap! She climbs into the ring and poses in the center while Otsuka, Stryker, and Abercrombie do the "worship" motion with their hands.) Becky Bayless: These three men are the BEST at what they do... they are the future of Cincinnati Pro and they are the future of this business. Together, we will rule this promotion and after we dominate this place, we will move on to brighter places and greener pastures. Let me introduce you to the group that, together, will very soon be on top of the wrestling world.. we are The Elite! (All four of them raise their hands... so full of themselves. Otsuka gives another stomp to Volk Han before all four of them leave the ring. This is sickening to see, but the truth is that Cincinnati Pro is in trouble. These three men really ARE great at what they do and together, with Becky Bayless, they might very well dominate everyone who comes across them in Cincinnati Pro.) (Next up is a Cincinnati Pro specialty... mystery man vs. mystery man! Somewhat familiar music plays... it sounds like something we heard just last month... and sure enough, emerging through the curtains is "The Natural" Butch Reed!! Why!? Last week he was decimated to next to nothing by Vader! He did NOT recieve a contract! He shouldn't be here! Who is his opponent? Everyone waits for nearly 30 seconds after Reed's music has already been turned off. Suddenly, the sound of a chainsaw roars throughout the building and then LEATHERFACE appears through the curtain! He starts walking fast towards the ring with his chainsaw blazing!! He then steps over the barricade into the crowd! The fans are scattering all over building as Leatherface is walking through the crowd with his chainsaw leading the way!! After about two minutes of this pandemonium, the referee somehow manages to get Leatherface to turn off the chainsaw and get in the ring where he is attacked by Reed as he slides in...) 12.

Leatherface is met with a mixture of cheers and boos. The winner is Leatherface. Time of match: 0:01:05 [One Night Only] Leatherface defeated Butch Reed by disqualification in 0:01:05. Rating: -3/4* This definatly wasn't much of a match. A majority of the fans had not even found their original seats by the time this one was over. After the referee called for the DQ, Reed got in his face and didn't notice Leatherface pulling the chainsaw in the ring. Leatherface stood up in the ring and fired up the chainsaw... the referee and Butch Reed dove out of the ring! Reed took off through the crowd and headed straight out the back door of the arena! Once more, Leatherface rampaged through the crowd sending fans fleeing for their lives! (The fans are pretty excited about the next segment scheduled. It's time for Dean Malenko to make an appearance in Cincinnati Pro as he as claimed to have a big announcement. His music plays and he walks through the curtain. He's dressed very nicely and waving to the fans as he walks to the ring. He is met with a GREAT reaction! The fans are all on their feet and clapping for Malenko. Malenko is so overwhelmed by the response the he has to stop in the middle of the aisle and have a look around the crowd... but wait... MALENKO WAS JUST ATTACKED FROM BEHIND!! THAT'S... THAT'S... THAT'S TAZZ!! What in the hell is TAZZ doing here and WHY THE HELL IS HE BEATING ON DEAN MALENKO!!!! He nailed Malenko with a sucker punch to the back of the head nearly knocking him cold and now he's beating Malenko senseless in the aisleway! Security guards rush to get Tazz, but he manages to escape their grasp and roll into the ring. He requests the microphone... ) Tazz: YOU ALL CAN SHUT THE HELL UP!!! Dean Malenko... you can't duck me anymore! I told you back in '95 that I would have your ass and you've tried to run from me ever since! Who's going to save you now, Dean? We're not under a WWE building! McMahon can't save you here! Oh... so I've taken Malenko's spotlight, have I? Well how about this... I'm going to ruin Dean's *big announcement*! Malenko wants to return to the ring! And he wants to start his comeback right here in Cincinnati Pro! I've got news for you, Dean! That two year contract you just signed doesn't mean shit! I just walked out the office not more than 6 hours earlier and I've got a contract myself!! You can't duck me anymore, Dean! You broke my neck in '95 and I haven't forgotten about it! I've heard the stories, Dean... you and Scorpio did it on purpose to teach me a lesson! Look at you now!! Look at you laying on the floor!! You look out of shape, you look old as hell!! I'm tired of sitting at ringside, I'm tired of Micheal Cole's fruity ass, I'm tired of sitting behind a monitor and headset! If the only thing I do here is get my revenge on Dean Malenko then I'll be satisfied, but mark my words, Dean, I *will* have my revenge!! This is only the beginning!! When I step out of the ring Security, you better not put your hands on me. I am officially contracted by this promotion and I have every right to be here tonight! (By this time, wrestlers have come out to check on Dean Malenko and help him to the back and out of Tazz's way. Tazz's music plays as he is met with a mixture of boos from people that hate what he just did and cheers from people who are glad to see Tazz back in the ring. This is a sickening act by Tazz and a showing of extreme lack of respect for Dean Malenko. But as we heard, both Dean Malenko and Tazz have signed with Cincinnati Pro! That is an astonishing announcement!) 13. Street Fight - El Dandy vs. Marty Jannetty El Dandy punches Marty Jannetty. El Dandy punches Marty Jannetty. El Dandy is eliciting a sizable round of boos.

A fan at ringside badmouths El Dandy. The winner is El Dandy. Time of match: 0:07:25 [Street Fight] El Dandy pinned Marty Jannetty with the Dandina Cradle in 0:07:25. Rating: ** 1/4 Another highly disappointing loss for Marty Jannetty who just can't seem to get a win over El Dandy. The majority of this match took place on the floor and in the crowd and while there, Jannetty brutalized Dandy with various weapons. It looked like Jannetty was on his way to victory until the closing moments of the match when Dandy was able to score with a keyboard shot and then roll Jannetty up with the Dandina Cradle out of nowhere! Dandy jumped up and down in celebration while Jannetty was on his knees on the mat with disappointment in his face. (Just then, Ahmed Johnson hits the ring! He's followed by Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton who stay outside the ring while Ahmed starts attacking both Dandy and Jannetty inside the ring! Ahmed lays Dandy out with a gutwrench suplex and then takes Jannetty down hard with the Pearl River Plunge. Bagwell is laughing hysterically as Ahmed just annihilated two already exhausted wrestlers... and for what reason? Then Jamie Noble and The Patriot run to ring and start attacking Bagwell and Norton! Ahmed sees this and goes outside, but The Patriot is able to cut him off with a series of punches. Noble and The Patriot slide into the ring and are challenging this new trio to get into the ring. Referees have made their way to ringside to try to clear this mess up. El Dandy and Marty Jannetty are able to gather themselves and walk seperatly to the back. Ahmed Johnson is forced to go back to the locker rooms as well. All four men are out here... let's start this Tag Team Championship Match!!) 14.

Time of match: 0:12:18 [Tag Team Championship Finals]: No-Time-Limit-Match for the vacant CP Tag Team Championship Vicious & Delicious (Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton) defeated Jamie Noble and The Patriot when Norton pinned Patriot with the Power Bomb in 0:12:18. Rating: ** 1/4 (Vicious & Delicious won the CP Tag Team Championship) Things didn't go too well for Noble & The Patriot in this one. After a very little bit of offense from Noble in the beginning of the match, Bagwell and Norton had control of Noble for the first nine minutes of this match. Somehow, Noble was able to hang in there even kicking out of Norton's Power Bomb at one point. When the tag was finally made to The Patriot, he couldn't really get any offense in either. Noble & The Patriot's lack of strength and energy here is probably due to the fact that this is the FOURTH time they've wrestled tonight! If they would not have had that impromptu matchup with each other earlier in the evening, things might be a little different here in the finals. At the end of the match, The Patriot and Noble were given a hell of a beating on the floor and then Norton put away The Patriot with the Power Bomb! (Following the match, Ahmed Johnson came to the ring to celebrate with Bagwell and Norton. This prompted Marty Jannetty to hit the ring and start attacking Ahmed... but Marty was outnumbered as Bagwell, Norton, and Ahmed began pounding on him. Noble was still out cold on the floor while The Patriot was slowly trying to get to his feetin the ring. Then El Dandy charged the ring and started putting the boots to Jannetty also. Bagwell, Norton, and Ahmed noticed this and backed off as El Dandy continued stomping Jannetty. Dandy yelled "come on!" to the three guys wanting them to continue the beating with him... but then the clobbered El Dandy and started stomping on him! Finally The Patroit came over and tackled Norton to the ground. This gave Jannetty the opportunity to sneak in a few shots to Bagwell before Bagwell escaped the ring. As Ahmed tried pulling The Patriot off of Norton, El Dandy grabbed Ahmed and chucked him over the top rope to the floor. Norton escaped The Patriot's grasp and rolled outside of the ring. The new Tag Team Champions, Bagwell and Norton, along with Ahmed high-tailed it to the back... but they were cut off by Hardcore Holly and Al Snow and all FIVE of them were brawling in the aisle!! Now Jannetty saw El Dandy in the ring and the two of THEM started fighting! Referee's were at ringside by this time and as the two spilled to the floor, referee's, The Patriot, and Noble, who finally came to, were able to pull them apart. During THIS mess, The Patriot and Noble bumped back's... they turned around... and STARTED EXCHANGING RIGHTS AND LEFTS WITH EACH OTHER!!! What action!!! These two can obviously no longer coexist! They made a hell of a team, but they just can't stand one another! We've got to clean get things straightened out here in Peel's Palace before the riot squad is called!! Thanks for joining us!) Overall: *3/4 Match of the Night: Ian Rotten vs. Hayabusa |
| Vertigo | Posted on 04/13/05 at 23:23:35 Cincinnati Pro Official Hotline Last Updated November 25, 2005 Big news to report following the huge Tag Team Extraordinaire show! First, Cincinnati Pro has a new Tri-State Heavyweight Champion in Matt Stryker! He defeated Volk Han to win the title with the help of his new allies, Alexander Otsuka & Josh Abercrombie! And not only that, but the three of these guys have joined as a stable called The Elite and have inducted the services of one Becky Bayless! Our next show will be held on Friday night, December 9, at the Harrison Health and Fitness Center in West Harrison, Indiana. The Elite are all looking to be in action... Matt Stryker will face the struggling Pablo Marquez in a non-title match and Josh Abercrombie will face the returning, for one-night only of course, Rayo de Jalisco Jr.! Also, Alexander Otsuka has issued a challenge to Volk Han. Otsuka says he has a stipulation for this match, but has yet to announce what it is. We have not recieved word as to whether or not Volk Han will accept this challenge, but we're willing to be Han will do anything to get his hands on Otsuka. Hardcore Holly and Al Snow have expressed time and time again how much they want to get their hands on Vicious & Delicious! Well, V&D has accepted the challenge, but have REFUSED to put the Tag Team Championship on the line saying Holly and Snow have done nothing to earn a shot at the titles. El Dandy and Marty Jannetty both want to get their hands on Ahmed Johnson, and CEO Russ Myers knows that the bad blood between Jannetty and Dandy is still boiling... so a Triple Threat match has been signed... Marty Jannetty against El Dandy against Ahmed Johnson! Ian Rotten and Hayabusa have agreed to settle their differences finally... in a No-Rope, Barbed Wire Match!! Folks... we cannot express how we feel about this match... one one hand, we're excited to be presenting this kind of match to you, but on the other, we're worried that one of these guys just may kill each other! The advantage has GOT to go to Ian Rotten as Hayabusa has not been involved in this type of match in a LONG time... however, Hayabusa has proven he is a miracle worker and we just may be in for a surprise! More news to be reported next week, so check back with us then! |
| Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 04/14/05 at 16:36:21 Janetty-Dandy brawl to start off the night. BRILLIANT! Ironic for Ahmed Johnson to be telling someone that he cant understand them when we all know Ahmed is the one who is always misheard. Patriot & Noble are not off to a good start. Too bad Pierroth got DQ-ed because now they have to continue tagging at least once more during the evening. Ahh so they ended up making up - lets see if that lasts. UGH - it's the ICP! =( OH LORD - it's Kamala =( =( Good thing Hero was able to take care of business because i couldnt stand to see ICP move beyond this first round match. Too bad he's gotta drag Kamala along for the ride. Great dialogue between Henry & Nowinksi - cant really picture them in the same shot but interesting back and forth. I hope to god above that Vader decimates Nowinksi sometime and sends him back to Yale or Harvard or wherever he came from. So now we got Hero & Kamala vs Norton & Bagwell - hmm, i'm gonna go with my man Hero and his bushman friend over the 'roid freak and former chippendale dancer. But WOAH, i must say that the 3-some of Bagwell, Norton & Ahmed DID do quite a number to the Tough Enough Crew of Holly & Snow so allow me to retract my previous prediction. Too bad that Hayabusa got out of control and took out the ref because I was certainly enjoying the match between him and Ian Rotten. Let them hook up again in a NO DQ environment and I bet the crowd will eat it up like pudding. OOO - that was some set of fighting words from Al Snow about Ahmed Johnson. Let's GET IT ON! Glad to see the fans didn't think too high of the match and gave it one star. Wow - Patriot holds his own for the length of the match and shows that he is the better man in the team than Noble. If these two become the champs, it will surely be an estranged reign. I KNEW Kamala was bad for Chris Hero. Matt Stryker has just suckered Volk Han into a title loss AND a post match beatdown. I'm sure Volk didnt see that coming. As for Becky Bayless being the mastermind behind this, it's an interesting angle. A little mystery man action and the first man is.... Butch Reed. Hmm - ok. And man #2....Leatherface. THAT is impressive. I think Reed got himself DQ-ed because he was taking the easy way out of a beatdown by the monsterous Leatherface. And from the look of the rating, the fans agree. Nice touch bringing up the Tazz injury at the hands of Malenko and the furor that the little guy has for working for WWE definitely came over like gangbusters. Janetty should hang it up - this isn't the classic 80's WWE anymore. But wait, Ahmed & company decimate Janetty and Dandy. I'm starting to like these guys. Noble & Patriot honestly working together to hold the 3 men at bay from killing Dandy and Janetty. Let's see how well they work together to maybe win the tag titles. And the answer is ... NOT SO WELL. Good lord WHAT AN ENDING...i cant even figure out what angles have just come out of that show ending clusterf*ck. |
| Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 04/14/05 at 16:41:04 Matt Stryker is the champ and he has to face Pablo Marquez? I don't care that it's non title - thats as bad as HHH face The Hurricane while he was the World champ. Volk is surely ticked off at The Elite and will tear Otasuka(?) apart. I'm stoked for Tough Enough Crew vs VD *HAHA* Hmm - nice booking of the triple threat match. It's interesting enough that i'd actually pay attention to a Mexican, a washed up 80's tag team wrestler, and Mr. Misunderstood. YES YES YES! Rotten/Hayabusa get it on ONE MORE TIME and now it's booked just the way it should be. |

These two matches killed Samoa Joe as my champ.. hopefully Stryker will survive. |
| Vertigo | Posted on 04/15/05 at 08:15:51 Thanks for the replies guys. I was beginning to think the board had lost interest in my promotion. On a rather funny note... I ran into Matt Stryker at Gold's Gym yesterday. ------- Cincinnati Pro Official Hotline Last Updated December 2, 2005 The card scheduled for next Friday, December 9 at the Harrison Health and Fitness Center in West Harrison, Indiana has been dubbed The Nightmare Before Christmas. We have more matches to announce for you! The show will start off with a Four Corners Tag Team Match! The teams announced are Strike Force, Christopher Nowinski & Mark Henry, Jimmy Jacobs & BJ Whitmer, and another team that has yet to be determined. That is definatly going to be a wild one! "Dangerous" Devon Storm has signed a deal with Cincinnati Pro and he will be debuting next Friday against the unpredictable Bull Pain... unpredictable because sometimes his matches are crap and sometimes they're great! Jamie Noble & The Patriot have agreed to settle their differences... in a LOSER-LEAVES-CINCINNATI match!! The promotion isn't big enough for these two and one of them has to go. They were a great team, but they couldn't co-exist. This is the only way to end this fued. In big six man tag team action, John Kronus will team with the Insane Clown Posse to battle The Headbangers and Jinsei Shinzaki. That's a couple of unorthodox pairings and it's sure to be an interesting match. The Elite have announced they have a new member to add to the group. Chris Hero has stepped up to accept the challenge and face this newcomer who has yet to be named. We won't find out exactly who he or she is until next Friday. Also, Alexander Otsuka's challenge to Volk Han has been accepted. Volk Han wants nothing more than to get back at Otsuka and the rest of The Elite for what happened at Tag Team Extraordinaire. He also agreed to any stipulation that Otsuka had because he is confident that he will win no matter what it is. Otsuka is leaving the stipulation a secret until this Friday.

| Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 04/15/05 at 14:42:35 That's cool that you ran into Stryker. Didja talk to him? I'm going to an indy show here in NY tonight so i'm sure i'll see some of the guys i use for Hard Knox - Red, Brown, Xavier, Candido...Raven wouldve been there but he's `suspended' for 60 days. I'm rooting that Noble has to leave Cincy. Hmm, i can see crazy Kronus with his face painted but Shinzaki and the dress wearing Headbangers? Volk could be walking into another trap by accepting any stip that The Elite puts in front of him. |
