SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX - DEVIL'S NIGHT
DATE: OCTOBER 29 2005
LOCATION: AMAZURA BALLROOM - JAMAICA, QUEENS, NY

Last month, we saw the collision of The Flock and the union of BJ Whitmer & Rhyno with former Head of the Class, Chris Benoit. We also saw the debuts of The Harris Brothers and the big man, ABYSS (who joined Raven's Flock) as well as the departure of Steve Austin.

This month, we will witness a running of the gauntlet as several Hard Knox stars try to come out the other end with the status of Top Contender for the Head of the Class title.

Speaking of the Head of the Class, Juventud Guerrera will defend it against Kevin Ridge and the Heavy Hitters tag titles will be on the line as The SAT team with BJ Whitmer to take on The Flock (Raven, Dreamer & Abyss).

But first, we go to ringside for our opening bout - former tag partners collide as Johnny Stamboli faces The Triple Threat's Chuck Palumbo.

Chuck Palumbo was the favorite going into this and he walked out with the win. Palumbo was confident enough that he would win that he didn't even come to the ring with his fellow Triple Threat members.

        x Van Wild beat Gowen via the Wild Ride in 0:27:04
        x Ron Harris beat Van Wild after the H_Bomb in 0:39:49
Rating: *** 1/2

Sabin got under the skin of The Suicide Kings again by eliminating them out of the match after being saved by Don Harris.

Van Wild then took Zach Gowen out with the Wild Ride to eliminate him and Chris Sabin.

In the end, it came down to two top teams and The Harris Brothers made another impression on the officials in the back as they walked out the victors. These two big wins could mean a title shot for Ron & Don REAL soon.

We knew AJ Styles was a participant in this gauntlet but we also learned that Chuck Palumbo would be involved as well.

Palumbo was hurting a bit from wrestling earlier in the evening and it may have cost him the win.

[Abyss interfered against Chris Benoit.]


Christopher Daniels should thank Abyss and maybe even Raven for this win - seeing how Abyss left Benoit for dead after that THIRD Black Hole Slam.

It's a testament to Benoit that he was able to hold on after the first two Black Hole Slams by Abyss.

Since Abyss was already at ringside, Christopher Daniels was told to head towards the back and take a break from the gauntlet so we could hold our Heavy Hitters title defense. Raven & Tommy Dreamer joined Abyss at ringside followed by the arrival of the champions, The SAT and their partner for this match, BJ Whitmer.

[Chris Benoit interfered against Abyss.]

In a match that saw Chris Benoit bring himself back down to the ring to exact some revenge on Raven & Abyss for the `hit' put on him in the last Gauntlet match, we also saw The SAT keep their titles with an amazing pinfall victory on Abyss by Joel Maximo.

After the match, Raven yelled at Abyss for dropping the ball and not getting the job done. Abyss did not take likely to this and grabbed Raven by the throat. Raven was able to calm the big man down though and The Flock was able to leave together.

The Triple Threat were celebrating their win and their upcoming title shot when The Harris Brothers confronted them. Ron & Don Harris made it very clear to The Triple Threat that with their win in the 4 Corners tag match earlier, The Harris Brothers were in the title hunt as well.

Officials quickly came down and decided that next month, Brown & Ace will face Ron & Don Harris and the winner will be the new Top Contenders for the Heavy Hitters titles.

Coming up - Christopher Daniels faces one more opponent in the final match of the Gauntlet.

Next Month's Lineup:

Next month is our Thanksgiving celebration and the lineup thus far is as follows...

* Chris Sabin & Zach Gowen vs Spikyjim & Travis LaGrange

Over the last few months, Chris Sabin & Zach Gowen have been an interesting duo - especially with the way they are able to get under Spikyjim's skin in just the right way. Therefore, Spikyjim has requested to face Sabin & Gowen in the ring next month in a tag match, ONLY this time Spiky isn't bringing Despair with him as a partner. Instead, he has called his good buddy, Travis LaGrange in Texas and asked him to come to Queens, NY.

* Juventud Guerrera vs ???

Juventud Guerrera is exercising his contract clause that states he does not have to defend his belt two months in a row. Thus Juvy WILL be in action but in a NON TITLE encounter against an opponent of Hard Knox's choosing. A few calls have been coming in from considerable people but nothing official has been announced yet.

* Raven & Tommy Dreamer vs Mohammed Yone & ???

Raven & Dreamer are not fond that Mohammed Yone is friendly with Rhyno who is friendly with BJ Whitmer. They have challenged Yone to find a partner and face them next month. Yone has said he has found a proper partner and is in the process of getting him a one night deal with Hard Knox for next month.

* Top Contendership on the Line
Chuck Palumbo vs Christopher Daniels

Shane Douglas is claiming that The Triple Threat helped Christopher Daniels towards his win in the final Gauntlet match and they want some payment for it - namely Chuck Palumbo has challenged Christopher Daniels for the #1 Contenders spot.

* The Harris Brothers vs D'Lo Brown & Johnny Ace
Winner is the new Top Contender for The SAT's Heavy Hitters titles.

* Main Event - 30 Min Ironman Match
AJ Styles vs BJ Whitmer

In the honor of friendly competition, which our fans loved so much tonight, our Main Event will be a 30 Min Ironman match between BJ Whitmer & AJ Styles.

See ya next month!

OoOoOoOoOo... gauntlet. ;)

Palumbo wins.  Yay!  I'm big on Palumbo in your circuit.

Big elimination to start things off!  Sabin hits a tiger suplex by surprise after the Living End and eliminates the Suicide Kings!  Holy Crap!  That's not gonna sit well with the SKs.  Not at all.  Their celebration is short lived obviously.  I think for Sabin he accomplished what was most important to him.  GOWEN IS THE WEAK LINK! :)  And the power team wins.  Harris brothers seem like they are on the road to being your resident monster tag team.

Even if Palumbo hadn't won earlier I think Styles would have gone over, which in my eyes is for the better.  OoOo, big W for Rhyno.  Impressive since it was on a relatively fresh Styles.  Too bad that Styles is out, Daniels would have been great to go against him in match #3.  And Daniels' takes it.  It looks like all your fresh guys are winning.  Ah, finally.  The fresh guy doesn't win.  Nice that Abyss interfered against Benoit.  Sets things up for a good ol' feud.

Wow.  Maximos PIN Abyss?!  SWERVE!  Again, I like the Benoit appearance.  A feud is a brewin'

Surprised Raven interfered for Juvy.  He probably could have done it himself.  Good that Juvy kept it though.  I wouldn't necessarily have minded Guerrera dropping the belt so soon, but it would have to be to someone with a higher profile.  And Raven bothered?!  YES!  Who called it?  Me.  Booyah! ;D

Looks like the Triple Threat will have some problems with the Harris boys.  They want that gold... probably so they have something shinier than their heads. ;)

OoOoOo... the FUNKAH!  Daniels could have gotten the win unassisted.  Triple Threat has been having Funk problems lately, but i think a cleaner win would have had a better impact.  Still, he gets the title shot and it should be a helluva showing.

Looks like Rhyno recovers quick.  Big showing from the Manbeast.  Both falls.  

I almost want Whitmer to win the Iron Man match next month.  He'd have a legit reason to want a title shot then.  It could be interesting to see what would happen since Daniels is the #1 contender.

Good stuff as usual Shaunzie.:)

Palumbo wins.  Yay!  I'm big on Palumbo in your circuit.
Glad ya like him - he's doing pretty good for himself so far.

Big elimination to start things off!  Sabin hits a tiger suplex by surprise after the Living End and eliminates the Suicide Kings!  Holy Crap!  That's not gonna sit well with the SKs.  Not at all.  Their celebration is short lived obviously.  I think for Sabin he accomplished what was most important to him.  GOWEN IS THE WEAK LINK! :)  And the power team wins.  Harris brothers seem like they are on the road to being your resident monster tag team.
Sabin definitely stuck it to the SKs with that early elimination and I see what ya mean with Gowen being the weak link. Oh yes - The Harris boys are indeed running over the competition very quickly.

Even if Palumbo hadn't won earlier I think Styles would have gone over, which in my eyes is for the better.  OoOo, big W for Rhyno.  Impressive since it was on a relatively fresh Styles.  Too bad that Styles is out, Daniels would have been great to go against him in match #3.  And Daniels' takes it.  It looks like all your fresh guys are winning.  Ah, finally.  The fresh guy doesn't win.  Nice that Abyss interfered against Benoit.  Sets things up for a good ol' feud.
Yep - Benoit gets dragged into the battle against Raven's Flock. As you will see soon enough, it's shaping up to be an interesting time for Raven and his minions as they contend with all those they've gotten over on in the last few months.

Wow.  Maximos PIN Abyss?!  SWERVE!  Again, I like the Benoit appearance.  A feud is a brewin'
The only way I can explain how the Maximos got that win is that they had "inside" info on Abyss. 'Nuff said.

Surprised Raven interfered for Juvy.  He probably could have done it himself.  Good that Juvy kept it though.  I wouldn't necessarily have minded Guerrera dropping the belt so soon, but it would have to be to someone with a higher profile.  And Raven bothered?!  YES!  Who called it?  Me.  Booyah! ;D
Told ya I use others ideas to develop stories. These feedbacks aren't just for shits and giggles, my friend. =)

Looks like the Triple Threat will have some problems with the Harris boys.  They want that gold... probably so they have something shinier than their heads. ;)
good call!

OoOoOo... the FUNKAH!  Daniels could have gotten the win unassisted.  Triple Threat has been having Funk problems lately, but i think a cleaner win would have had a better impact.  Still, he gets the title shot and it should be a helluva showing.
As you will see, it was PARTLY about The Funker and more about the title shot.


Looks like Rhyno recovers quick.  Big showing from the Manbeast.  Both falls.  
I know...I was surprised he took them both with The Gore. Interesting that each fall was over on a different person.

I almost want Whitmer to win the Iron Man match next month.  He'd have a legit reason to want a title shot then.  It could be interesting to see what would happen since Daniels is the #1 contender.
Read up and find out then.

Good stuff as usual Shaunzie.:)
Danke!
