SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX - *TAX* APPRECIATION NIGHT
DATE: APRIL 16 2005
LOCATION: AMAZURA BALLROOM - JAMAICA, QUEENS, NY
It's one day after the government got it's share of everyone's hard earned dollars and that included our fans. So SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX WRESTLING decided to hold this event to give a little something back to those who just got their pockets emptied by Uncle Sam.
The card was quite an exciting one as we would be seeing some new faces to HARD KNOX as well as our usual ones compete in action.

Chris Sabin has has the worst luck in SCHOOL OF HARD KNOX as he suffered ANOTHER loss and this time, it was to newcomer Steve Rizzono.
A noteable moment during the match was when Chris Sabin was outside and one of the ringside fans tossed his drink at Sabin. All we know is that it was a man in a cowboy hat who was berating Sabin during the entire match. He was escorted out by security after he tossed the drink at Sabin.

After the match was over and the ring was clear, Shane Douglas came down with a microphone in hand and got in the ring.
Interview:
Shane Douglas talks about being the unofficial Best of the Best
Shane Douglas came out to the ring and began to talk about his round robin competition last month against Chris Benoit and Raven. He went on to say how HE should've been crowned the Best of the Best being as he has now
beaten Raven TWICE and Benoit has yet to beat him ONCE.
He moved on to address the talk of this new signee who he would be facing tonight and how everyone is saying this person is making HUGE waves in the industry. Shane then told that person, whoever they may be to get down to the ring and see if they can make waves against THE FRANCHISE and the rightful owner to the name "THE BEST OF THE BEST".
At that point, "Desperado" played over the PA system and Shane's expression turned to one of shock as we saw his rival from both ECW and XPW, TERRY FUNK come through the curtains.

Dean Malenko was seeking revenge against The Christopher St. Connection and brought Perry Saturn with him. The match unfortunately went to a draw and despite the referee allowing more time, it still ended at a stalemate. I'm sure we have not seen the last of these four men in the ring at the same time.

[Chris Sabin interfered against Despair.]
The referee threw the match out instead of allowing it to continue further as a result of Chris Sabin entering the ring and breaking the pin right before the time limit expired.
Mohammed Yone had a few choice words for Chris Sabin, who's obsession with Despair and SpikyJim may have cost Yone a win tonight.

Rating: ** 3/4
BJ Whitmer and Rhyno secure another tag team win in HARD KNOX. SpikyJim was a bit upset at the loss, especially since he wasn't even the legal man. The referee claimed he lost control of the match when it went outside and just counted whatever pinfall he saw when the action returned to inside the ring.
Card rating: *** 1/4
Next month:
HARD KNOX is holding it's inaugural 16 man tournament to decide the first HEAD OF THE CLASS. The first two round of the tournament will take place starting next month and the final 4 will compete in the finals in June.
So far, the matchups for Round 1 are as follows:
* Chris Benoit will face a mystery entrant
* Chuck Palumbo & Johnny Ace will do battle - both men are coming off impressive runs in the first three months. Which one will suffer their first crushing blow?
* Chris Sabin is facing a mystery entrant - all we know of this is that HARD KNOX officials are very upset at Sabin's recent behavior and this may end up being a form of punishment for him.
* Word about HARD KNOX has gotten around and a few international superstars are interested in making a presence felt here. Two in particular will be touring the U.S. next month and have asked to participate in the tournament. So our fourth matchup will be LA PARKA vs JUVENTUD GUERRA.
* Shane Douglas will face Shannon Moore. Shane is fuming over his loss to Terry Funk while Moore is still looking to make a name for himself.
* SpikyJim will face Chris Hamrick
* Raven has agreed to face ANYONE that wishes to step in the ring with him.
* Terry Funk has signed a 1 year contract and he will be in the tournament to face someone who is making a one night only appearance just to do battle with The Funker. Who that someone is we can not reveal.
* And to step away from singles action, we will have a tag team contest between Real Xtreme and the team of Van Wild & Scott Starring inside a STEEL CAGE.
In other news, Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn have signed on with HARD KNOX for 6 months. They feel they have not had the last shot at The Christopher St. Connection. They said if it takes the whole 6 months to do so, then that's what it takes .
Also signing a 6 month agreement with HARD KNOX is Tommy Dreamer. |
