SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX - SEPTEMBER 10 2005
Shaun Sindelman | Posted on 03/09/05 at 05:10:05 SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX - BACK TO SCHOOL BASH DATE: SEPTEMBER 10 2005 LOCATION: AMAZURA BALLROOM - JAMAICA, QUEENS, NY Last month, we saw The SAT walk into the Amazura Ballroom as a visiting tag team and by the end of the night, they were crowned the inaugural Heavy Hitters of Hard Knox Wrestling. We also saw Juventud Guerrera become the NEW Head of the Class and join Raven's Flock as well as the formation of The Triple Threat by Shane Douglas. After the event was over, Shane Douglas questioned as to why no one asked Palumbo, Ace or D'Lo Brown to participate in the tournament . He went on to say that with him leading these men, this preferential treatment will cease to occur. Shane Douglas signed his men into some interesting contests tonight starting with our opening bout - a four corners match pitting the 4 top tag teams in the company against each other. Chuck Palumbo goes for a back suplex, but BJ Whitmer counters it with a go-behind.Four Corners Match: The Triple Threat (Chuck Palumbo and D'Lo Brown) defeated America's Most Wanted (James Storm and Chris Harris), Rhyno and BJ Whitmer, and Van Wild when Palumbo pinned Whitmer with the Jungle Kick in 0:16:36. Rating: ** 1/4 (Scott Starring no-showed.) Scott Starring was attacked prior to the match by Lance Williams and Van Wild was forced to compete in this match solo. Palumbo & Brown were celebrating their win with Shane Douglas when BOOM! ... out of nowhere came The Harris Brothers. Don Harris catches D'Lo Brown in a bearhug.The Harris Brothers (Ron Harris and Don Harris) defeated The Triple Threat (Chuck Palumbo and D'Lo Brown) when Heavy D pinned D'Lo with the Big Boot in 0:01:09. Rating: * 3/4 From the opening moment, Ron and Don ran all over The Triple Threat and made an amazing debut impression in Hard Knox in the process. After the match, Hard Knox officials came down to the ring to officially sign The Harris Brothers to a 9 month deal. Next up - Chris Sabin & Zach Gowen team up with Terry Funk to face The Suicide Kings and Johnny Ace Johnny Ace throws Terry Funk into the turnbuckle.The Suicide Kings (Despair and Spikyjim) and Johnny Ace defeated Chris Sabin, Zach Gowen and Terry Funk when Ace made Terry Funk submit to an abdominal stretch in 0:32:59. Rating: **** 1/4 [Chuck Palumbo interfered against Terry Funk.] After the match, Shane Douglas and all 3 members of The Triple Threat kicked Funk while he was down at the same time, The Suicide Kings took out Sabin & Gowen with The Living End. Coming up - the final blowout between Mohammed Yone & Steve Austin. Falls-Count-Anywhere & Loser-Leaves-Town Match: Mohammed Yone beat Steve Austin in 16:25 with the Muscle Buster. Rating: **** 1/4 Our correspondant unfortunately was stuck in the bathroom during the course of this match and by the time he returned to his seat, the match had ended. He had to ask someone sitting next to him to find out how Yone won. Anyways, Steve Austin is now forced to leave Hard Knox for good. Next up - Buff-E & Perry Saturn do battle in a Texas Death Match. Texas Death Match: Perry Saturn pinned Buff-E with the Death Valley Driver in 0:11:48. Rating: *** 3/4 In a one sided match, Saturn beat Buff-E around like a rag doll. Next - Chris Benoit faces a mystery opponent. Chris Benoit was standing in the center of the ring awaiting the arrival of his mystery opponent when Raven came out through the curtain. Benoit was amped because he thought he was getting his hands on Raven. Raven got on the microphone and said to Benoit "Hold on there, CRIPPLER! I'M not your opponent." Tommy Dreamer then came out from under the ring and slid behind Benoit. He hit Benoit with a backwards DDT. At that point, the big ABYSS from TNA came down the aisle and went right after Benoit. Raven had a HUGE smile on his face watching this unfold. We obviously knew that Abyss was Benoit's mystery opponent and he is associated with Raven & The Flock. Abyss nails Chris Benoit with the torture rack drop.Chris Benoit defeated Abyss when Abyss passed out in the Crippler Crossface in 0:11:14. Rating: *** Despite being initially on the defense, Benoit was able to recuperate and take out this newest member of The Flock - Raven's `hired gun' ABYSS. Next - Shannon Moore fights one more time and his opponent in this farewell match...."The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. Christopher Daniels pinned Shannon Moore with the Last Rites in 0:08:52. Rating: *** In Shannon Moore's last match in Hard Knox, he lost to The Fallen Angel who made QUITE an impact on his way to meeting AJ Styles sometime in the future. Next - Another member of The Flock in action as Juventud Guerrera faces Kevin J. Ridge in a NON TITLE matchup. Juventud Guerrera goes for a forearm smash, but Kevin J. Ridge blocks it.[NON TITLE]: Juventud Guerrera pinned Kevin J. Ridge after a flying legdrop in 0:10:44. Rating: *** Guerrera had no trouble taking Kevin Ridge out. As Juvy was leaving the ring, Kevin Ridge rose to his feet with a HUGE grin on his face. Ridge got on the microphone and called out to Juvy. "Hey Juventud! Guess i'll be seeing YOU again next month." Juvy stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at Ridge Ridge then said "Thats right. You and me - next month - this time, it's FOR the title. You obviously don't read your contracts very well or you would've saw the clause that stated "IF Kevin Ridge lasts past 10 minutes in the NON title match, he will get a title shot the following month". Juvy got very angry and stormed to the back. Next - AJ Styles makes his Hard Knox wrestling debut. Tommy Dreamer goes for a dropkick, but AJ Styles side-steps and Tommy Dreamer only hits air.AJ Styles pinned Tommy Dreamer with the Styles Clash in 0:10:12. Rating: *** 1/2 AJ Styles had his debut match with Hard Knox and was able to come out on top against The Flock's own Tommy Dreamer. After the match was over, Raven got on the microphone and began to talk about how some people in the back are not taking The Flock serious enough. That insults Raven and Raven puts forth a challenge for ANYONE to step in the ring with him in a Singapore Cane match where the LOSER gets 10 lashes from the WINNER via a singapore cane. Never one to back down from a challenge, out came BJ WHITMER!!! Raven sets up a table.[10 Lashes to the Loser]: Singapore Cane No-Time-Limit-Match: BJ Whitmer pinned Raven after outside interference in 0:59:43. Rating: **** 1/4 [Tommy Dreamer and Juventud Guerrera interfered against BJ Whitmer.] [Chris Benoit and Rhyno interfered against Raven.] BJ Whitmer won this Singapore Cane match. Raven as the loser would be subjected to 10 lashes from Whitmer with the Singapore cane. Raven tried to run but his path was blocked by Rhyno & Chris Benoit. Raven backed up and fell right into Whitmer who had the Singapore cane in hand. He grabbed Raven & began to administer the lashes. Juventud Guerrera and Tommy Dreamer tried to save Raven but Rhyno & Benoit cut them off and began to brawl with them. We ended the night with all 6 men brawling in and out of the ring. Card rating: *** 1/2 Next Month: Hard Knox has decided that they need to put some of their top guys through the ringer to see if they are worthy enough of competing for Head of the Class in the near future. Therefore, next month we will be holding a gauntlet to determine a new Top Contender for the Head of the Class title. We don't know in what order they will be but the participants thus far are: AJ Styles, Terry Funk, Chris Benoit & Christopher Daniels as well as a few other unknown combatants. Also in action will be... * Former tag partners collide as Johnny Stamboli faces Chuck Palumbo. Stamboli is a bit perturbed that Palumbo left him behind and moved on to becoming a member of The Triple Threat. This is his chance to gain some much deserved revenge. * Another 4 teams will compete in a Four Corners match but THIS ONE will be with elimination rules. The competing teams are: Van Wild & Scott Starring The Harris Twins (Ron & Don) The Suicide Kings (Despair/Spikyjim) Zach Gowen & Chris Sabin * The SAT will have their FIRST tag title defense but it will be with the help of BJ Whitmer as they face Raven & Dreamer along with Abyss. Either Raven or Dreamer must pin either Joel or Jose Maximo for the titles to change hands. *We will also see Juventud Guerrera defend his Head of the Class title unwillingly against Kevin Ridge who was able to outsmart Juvy into getting this match made. * Shane Douglas has asked that all of his men be given constant competition so Johnny Ace & D'Lo Brown will face America's Most Wanted. If Ace & Brown win, they will get their shot at the Heavy Hitters tag titles, regardless of who are the champions. * And our main event will be a tag team showcase as Mohammed Yone & Rhyno face a visting tag team from NWJ in Japan - Jushyn Lyger & Tiger Mask IV (The Thundercats). See ya next month! |
americamamushi | Posted on 03/09/05 at 08:32:02 Finally, the long awaited americamamushi feedback. I hadn't realized I was so popular... I mean, look at all these fans... er... fan I have ;) Two nice stables shaping up I see. One with a big title in their midsts, helps make thing all that much more interesting. Top four tag teams in Knox and the boys from Triple Threat come out on top. *strokes white cat* excellent.... excellent... :) And then the Harris brothers? Oh no, and they obliterate the Triple Threat. I guess that's to be expected. Doesn't look like Brown & Palumbo will be making their way toward the tag belts untill they finish with the Harris brothers... or vice versa. Still not a Gowan fan, but I likes me some Chris Sabin and Terry Funk. Looks like everyone has their own agenda tonight. Wow, BIG upset win for Yone. Haha, the remaining half of the CsC is STILL getting his ass handed to him by Saturn. Damn you Tommy Dreamer! Abyss is quite the monsterous surprise. And Benoit creams him! Nice big win for Benoit. And it should be noted that Abyss never tapped out, which may possibly be useful to remember for future storylines. ;) Shannon Moore has two things stacked against him. 1) He's Shannon Moore in Hard Knox and there for, by law, cannot win a match on his own accord. and 2) It's a farewell match. People that are leaving rarely win their farewell matches because the rub (even if slight) on the remaining wrestler is more benificial. For now Juvy seems a little out of place in the Flock, but that could easily change. Ridge may get his title shot next month, but he still didn't make a convincing arguement that he could be a threat to the title tonight. Nice debut from Styles. Dreamer is great for putting someone over. Whitmer accepting Raven's challenge? Unexpected. And everyone and their brother get involved in the end. :) Nuttin' like a clusterfuck to finish off a show ;) Gauntlet looks interesting. |
Carlzilla | Posted on 03/09/05 at 12:13:04 Man, Thundercats are getting around. What a pair of fed sluts! It secretly makes me happy inside to know that people for some reason are drawn to the pair though... |
rey619 | Posted on 03/09/05 at 13:16:20 ;D the Thundercats have a busy US schedule, that's fer sure You should take it as a compliment Carl.. unless you plan on suing us :-/ |
Carlzilla | Posted on 03/09/05 at 13:25:28 Nah it costs too much to sue. Plus it's more publicity for NWJ, and you can't complain about that. |

One with a big title in their midsts, helps make thing all that much more interesting.absolutely - and i'm sure its only a matter of time before these two groups cross paths - especially with Palumbo making such an impact in the singles division. Top four tag teams in Knox and the boys from Triple Threat come out on top. *strokes white cat* excellent.... excellent... :) And then the Harris brothers? Oh no, and they obliterate the Triple Threat. I guess that's to be expected. Doesn't look like Brown & Palumbo will be making their way toward the tag belts untill they finish with the Harris brothers... or vice versa.YEP! one BIG roadblock to overcome before the gold can even be an issue for The Triple Threat. Still not a Gowan fan, but I likes me some Chris Sabin and Terry Funk. Looks like everyone has their own agenda tonight.hmm - would you prefer it if Gowen's other leg was taken out from under him by say....Spikyjim? =) Wow, BIG upset win for Yone.actually i booked him to win - couldnt think of anything to do with Austin and plus Yone was just resigned to a deal - wasn't gonna let him just lose. Besides, Yone winning made a bigger impact. Haha, the remaining half of the CsC is STILL getting his ass handed to him by Saturn.Yea - i'll probably drop Buff-E soon and the jury is still out on what to do with Saturn. Damn you Tommy Dreamer! Abyss is quite the monsterous surprise. And Benoit creams him! Nice big win for Benoit. And it should be noted that Abyss never tapped out, which may possibly be useful to remember for future storylines. ;)When i think of big men, I cant help but think of Abyss - esp when it comes to an enforcer type for Raven's Flock. Hmm - nice catch that Abyss never tapped but I think i'll let it go. Shannon Moore has two things stacked against him. 1) He's Shannon Moore in Hard Knox and there for, by law, cannot win a match on his own accord. and 2) It's a farewell match. People that are leaving rarely win their farewell matches because the rub (even if slight) on the remaining wrestler is more benificial.100% correct, my friend. For now Juvy seems a little out of place in the Flock, but that could easily change. Ridge may get his title shot next month, but he still didn't make a convincing arguement that he could be a threat to the title tonight.Think of Juvy as the HHH of Hard Knox (he doesn't care who he is hanging with - just as long as he remains the champ) Nice debut from Styles. Dreamer is great for putting someone over.Very true again - look at what he's done for 1/2 of the WWE roster over time. Whitmer accepting Raven's challenge? Unexpected. And everyone and their brother get involved in the end. :) Nuttin' like a clusterfuck to finish off a show ;)Yea that was a crazy ending and can only get crazier as time goes by. |
Vertigo | Posted on 03/10/05 at 13:30:54 Palumbo & D'Lo proved that they should have been in the tag team tournament by defeating three teams. Then the Harris Brothers ruined their night. I don't know if that was a wise choice by the Harris Brothers because now they just might have the Triple Threat breathing down their necks for their entire SOHK stay. That's a hell of a good rating for the six-man tag. The Triple Threat is going to have every single name on the roster on their hit list any day now! Poor old Funker. I welcome the idea of Juvy in Raven's Flock. I can imagine him wrestling in ragged clothes and wearing black eyeliner. He could fit the role easily. As for Kevin J. Ridge, I don't think Juvy has anything to worry about next month - but I could be wrong. Whitmer has some damn good allies in Rhyno and Benoit. If I were Raven's Flock, I would be worried about this trio. |

Even if they dont, they'll get their shot in due time. That's a hell of a good rating for the six-man tag. The Triple Threat is going to have every single name on the roster on their hit list any day now! Poor old Funker.Well the heat between Spiky, Despair, Gowen and Sabin on top of the presence of Funk and Ace is instant ratings. I welcome the idea of Juvy in Raven's Flock. I can imagine him wrestling in ragged clothes and wearing black eyeliner. He could fit the role easily. As for Kevin J. Ridge, I don't think Juvy has anything to worry about next month - but I could be wrong.Well i don't know about the ragged clothes and black eyeliner but i'll eventually have to figure out what to do with Juvy and his presence in The Flock. Whitmer has some damn good allies in Rhyno and Benoit. If I were Raven's Flock, I would be worried about this trio.oh yea - it should be an interesting 3 on 3 feud. |
