HARD KNOX WRESTLING - MARCH 25 2006

Shaun SindelmanPosted on 04/07/05 at 06:17:30

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX - NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS
DATE: MARCH 25 2006
LOCATION: SPORTSTIME USA - BETHPAGE, LONG ISLAND

Tonight should be an interesting night.

We will see both titles defended on the same night as the Head of the Class champion, Juventud Guerrera faces the winner of the battle royal 2 weeks ago, "Heavy D" Don Harris.

The Heavy Hitters titles will be on the line as well when The SAT defends them against a team that wishes to remain a surprise. The SAT commented on this and said "We have been champions since August of last year and after tonight, we will STILL be champions, regardless of who these `challengers' are."

But in even bigger news, Hard Knox has been asked to participate in a "Battle of Long Island" with rival promotion, LIW. They are obviously very upset with the presence of Alex Wright in the ranks of Hard Knox and think this "battle" will help them to regain some dignity. Some of the initial matches have been signed and we will get to those later in the card.

Starting off tonight's event was a Four Corners matchup as Spikyjim was set to face off with 3 brand new faces to Hard Knox.

With Spiky already in the ring, we awaited the arrival of the other 3 participants.

Arabic chanting began to play over the PA system as Shawn Daivari made his way down the aisle. We then heard some unknown generic music as Chris Kanyon made his way to the ring.

THEN we heard "Back in Black" by AC/DC as we witnessed the arrival of "No Gimmick Needed" Chris Candido to Hard Knox Wrestling. Candido made his way into the ring and we had ourselves a match.

Candido made an amazing debut tonight as did Kanyon but Candido definitely got over more with the fans as he was the favorite going into the match. We thought the match was over but the ref restarted the match due to Candido's complaint of a fast count. Candido then complained of a slow count when he made the cover for a one count and shortly thereafter, he was able to put Kanyon away with the Blonde Bombshell for the win.

As Candido was heading up the aisle to the backstage area, he crossed paths with Shane Douglas who made his way down to ringside. For a brief moment, these former friends from ECW's Triple Threat gave each other a nod of acknowledgement and then went on with their business.

Once at ringside, Shane grabbed the microphone and began to speak.

Interview:
Shane Douglas interview

Shane came out to talk about how D'Lo Brown was making a steady and quick recovery and should be back in action by next month.

He also commented on how Chuck Palumbo was going to tear apart LIW's hometown poster boy - Cactus Jack when the two of them meet at Battle of Long Island.

He went on to say that he had more important business to tend to...namely a Stable War match that never happened between his guys and Raven's Flock.

He put forth a challenge for later in the night between Chuck Palumbo, Johnny Ace, and their temporary 3rd member of The Triple Threat for one night -  Johnny Stamboli as they face Abyss, Tommy Dreamer & CM Punk.

Tommy Dreamer came out just to say that The Flock is up for the challenge and we will see that match later in the evening.

Raven tried twice to put Whitmer through a table with a piledriver and both attempts failed. It ended up being a Raven Effect through a table that secured Raven a title shot against Juventud Guerrera or Don Harris in the near future.

Zach Gowen with the incredible win as he heads into the Battle of Long Island to face LIW's `British Sensation' Johnny Storm.

Next up - Chris Benoit faces "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniel. Benoit has a big match at "Battle of Long Island" against LIW's New York State Heavyweight champion, `The Enforcer' Arn Anderson. Can he get past Daniels and stay focused on Anderson and possibly stealing the LIW title away or will a loss tonight throw off his game plan?

Rating: *** 1/4

The fans were impressed the first time this two men met in the ring but this match blew that one out of the water. Yone had some very close calls but he was just not on his best tonight and Styles was able to get the better of him.

After the match, Yone seemed to be very upset with his performance in the match. The last time we saw this from a member of the Hard Knox roster, they jumped ship for LIW. Has Yone be driven so far down that he would accept a deal with a `lesser' promotion? For his own sake, we hope that's NOT the case.

Coming up - Shane Douglas leads his men into battle as we have the make up match from our Stable War a few events back.

Coming up - The SAT will find out who their challengers are for their Heavy Hitters' title defense.

The SAT entered the ring and awaited the arrival of their challengers. We then heard "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple over the PA system and the crowd assumed it would be Triple Threat members Johnny Ace & Chuck Palumbo pulling double duty tonight.

INSTEAD...we witnessed Shane Douglas come out from behind the backstage curtain with CHRIS CANDIDO right behind him. Both men flashed that infamous 3 finger hand gesture associated with The Triple Threat as they walk down the aisle and entered the ring.

(The Spanish Announce Team retained the HEAVY HITTERS.)


With Chris Candido in Hard Knox, Shane Douglas obviously felt like reliving some old glory by tagging with his former Triple Threat stablemate for a chance to grab the tag team gold.

Unfortunately, Candido had a match already in the evening and Shane hasn't been in a ring in a few months so their attempt was foiled by The SAT and the Maximizer finisher from Jose Maximo.

(Juventud Guerrera retained the HEAD OF THE CLASS.)


Juvy with another win and he holds on to the gold for a little bit longer.

After the match, Alex Wright came down and attacked both men. Juvy fought back long enough to give himself an opening to head to the back. With just Wright and Don Harris in the ring, the two men continued to brawl until Ron Harris came down to help his brother out. Hard Knox officials rushed the ring to seperate Wright and the Harris Brothers - most likely to prevent Wright from being killed his first month in Hard Knox.

Card rating: ***

Our next Hard Knox event will be in a few weeks but before that, be sure to check out the superstars of Hard Knox Wrestling as they kick Long Island Wrestling's a** at the "Battle of Long Island" on April 1st.

As mentioned already, the first four matches have been announced as:

* Zach Gowen vs Johnny Storm

* Arn Anderson (NYS Champion) vs Chris Benoit

and

* Cactus Jack vs Chuck Palumbo

More matches to come soon.

Hard Knox Wrestling Update for March 28 2006

A few more matches have been signed for "Battle of Long Island" on April 1st.

* LIW's Don Juan vs our own Amazing Red

Red has been on quite the rise as of late coming off a win against Xavier only a few short days ago. He will be up for quite the fight against LIW's Don Juan but we have confidence that he will secure yet another win and crumble the hopes and dreams of LIW.

* Spikyjim vs El Mephisto

Spikyjim has not been on such a great run since Chris Sabin brought Zach Gowen into Hard Knox Wrestling and it has definitely done a number on his mental state.

So yes it IS true...As reported on LIW's Newsline, Spiky visited the LIW offices and ended up securing himself a match at "Battle of Long Island" against El Mephisto. We hope that Spiky can gain his composure and secure a win. With a win here and a win from Zach Gowen, LIW's `New Europe' stable will certainly suffer quite a blow.

* Dangan vs The SAT

A battle of two tag team champions as Hard Knox's Heavy Hitters champions, The SAT faces Dangan who recently lost their titles only to gain them back.

I don't know about you but I prefer to bet on a tag team that has held their titles since August 2005 over a team that let their titles slide through their fingers and then get lucky enough to win them back.

* Randy Orton vs Terry Funk

Hard Knox would like to announce that this will be Terry Funk's last match under the Hard Knox umbrella. We hope that he will do us the honor of going out with a bang by defeating LIW's so-called `Legend Killer'

* Alex Wright vs Ron Harris

In an interesting turn of events, Hard Knox has discovered that LIW has signed a match that would certainly sell out a crowd at ANY Hard Knox event alone. Alex Wright will defend the honor of his new employers, Hard Knox Wrestling against Ron Harris who somehow has chosen to BETRAY Hard Knox and represent Long Island Wrestling in this match instead.

Hard Knox would like to say at this time that if he goes forward with competing in this match, then after April 1st, Ron Harris contract with us will be NULL and VOID.

Hard Knox has chosen to highlight some of it's talent by putting on two matches between it's own superstars.

* BJ Whitmer/Rhyno vs Van Wild/Scott Starring

The first match will be great tag team action as we have a Top Contenders match for the Heavy Hitters titles between the ever rising teams of Whitmer & Rhyno as well as Van Wild & Scott Starring.

* CM Punk vs Christopher Daniels

We then showcase the great high flying and X Division action as CM Punk faces "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. Daniels is coming off a great win a few days ago with the help of Tommy Dreamer. It should be interesting to see how this match unfolds.

There's only a few days left before "Battle of Long Island" and selects seats are still available.

Chris Candido resurfaces in Hard Knox! He will definetely fit in better in this somewhat ECWesque fed than in IWA:NE. Nice subtelty with Douglas, and a nice surprise that they were the challengers. Candido just went a 40 minute match.. dunno if the SAT had been able to stop Candido and Douglas without that one.

"Generic rock music - lol...

Still looking forward to the Long Island war... it's funny how many wrestler appear over and over in the NE feds on the boards... Both you and I have SAT, Daniels, Styles... you and LIW have the Harris Brothers... since Critic's rulesheet, feds on the boards almost act like the real NE indy scenes, just with other names.

Keep up the good work.. you are way ahead of me in timeline now :( .. guess it was necessary to do the crossover with LIW.
Shaun SindelmanPosted on 04/07/05 at 14:25:31

All I can say is thank you and if you want to do a cross over with me when you get to that point in the rules, feel free to let me know.

VertigoPosted on 04/08/05 at 05:04:39

I like me some Chris Candido and Kanyon. I was pushing for one of those two to win, Candido more so than Kanyon... so I was happy with the outcome. Two Blonde Bombshells in one match is BRUTAL! And acknowledging The Franchise... hmmm...

Red pins Ridge... that's good for Red going into the match against LIW's Don Juan.

I don't know what's worse... Raven piledriving Whitmer on a table that WOULDN'T break... or the Raven Effect THROUGH the table... either way, they're both gross and no one would be able to fight back from such brutality.

Zach Gowen pinned Xavier... don't like either of them, but again, that's good for Zach Gowen as he gains momentum going into the interpromotional show.

Uh oh... Benoit loses to Daniels just before he faces LIW's Champion, Arn Anderson. You can blame Dreamer, but either way, how will this effect Benoit's chances against Double A?

Damn AJ Styles and his Styles Clash! I wanted Yone to topple Styles... oh well... maybe another day.

Good god! Stamboli stabbed Dreamer with a broken beer bottle!! I would have submitted!! But Dreamer's hardcore and tried to hang in there. A big win for the Triple Threat.

A nice look at some old ECW days as Douglas and Candido reunite, but it did not last long. Is Douglas interested in bringing Candido into the Triple Threat or was this just for nostalgia?

Juvy retains like I knew he would, but Alex Wright really needs to be careful. The Harris Brothers would have killed him! He may have beaten Ron Harris in LIW once before, but he can't beat BOTH of them at the same time. The rematch between Wright & Violent R at LIW vs. SHK is going to be great!
Shaun SindelmanPosted on 04/08/05 at 05:22:49

Glad ya liked Candido making his debut - you'll definitely see more of him in the weeks to come.

I won't ruin what happened at the Battle of Long Island but I WILL say go and read it ASAP because it is INTENSE.

Heh - yea I was pretty surprised by the numerous attempts from Raven to put Whitmer away on the never breaking table of doom. =)

Yea I think we may see a Dreamer/Benoit match eventually.

Yone hasnt had the BEST of luck as of late so i'm not surprised by Styles getting WAY over on him.

Oh yea - that stabbing with the beer bottle spot was definitely an interesting one to see come up.

Not going to say anything bout Douglas & Candido except read, read and read some more.

Wright is definitely insane for trying to tangle with TWO Harris Brothers at once but it does show how balls to the wall he is willing to go in Hard Knox - maybe even more than when he was with LIW.
