ABCW vs. CHAOS: HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: I QUIT MATCH: Dark Invader © vs. Memphis Prince – WINNER: Dark Invader Show Notes: Devin Van Winkle stayed in the ring after his loss. Some fans stated they saw him crying. The women’s division talk about Succubus and stopping her. Buzzsaw impressed the wrestling world by picking up both Hairy and Slashmaster at the same time. Fritz Van Winkle was in the crowd. Piranha comes over to where he is sitting and starts to berate the Van Winkle patriarch. Terry and Damon quickly come to their father’s aid. Piranha just laughs and starts to back away. From behind Fritz, Mad Arab and Troglo attack and Piranha joins. The crowd is chanting for Devin, but he doesn’t come out. The Heavyweight title *and* control of ABCW was on the line. Right as the bell rings, Memphis Prince grabs the mic and starts talking to the crowd. “Last year, I was fighting this guy and Dr. B all over the south. Then, all of a sudden, Dr. B starts getting cheers and I’m not getting quite as many. Then I start losing opportunities and not as many people are cheering me like they did before. Was it my fault? Hell, no! That twerp Mr. Greenhorn is who I blame. Trying to shove these new acts down everyone’s throat. And you know what, you all bought it. Cheering like a bunch of trained monkeys. Then my eyes were opened by a little special someone named Succubus. We came up with a plan, you see. Take all the disillusioned members of the roster and turn this Podunk federation on its head. We even came up with a name for our group: Chaos. So, to make this complete and allow the takeover of ABCW by – well – me, I just have two words to say. I…..quit..” RNR Show Rating 19.12

There was even a bit of mutual respect afterward. Jet Set Strutter stated his goal for the near future is putting an end to Global Domination. After that, who knows. El Presidente was supremely over-confident going into the match. Norman made him pay early and the match nearly ended before El Pres could refocus. The challenger proceeded to beat the hell out of the champ. He had Norman set up for the presidential plancha, but Norman moved out of the way and rolled him up for the win. WOW Show Rating 16.05

March Madness Final: Valedictorian vs. Exotic Rick – WINNER: Valedictorian Show Notes: Valedictorian and O’Hooligan had a brutal quarter-final matchup that had the announcers wondering if they’d make it to the next round. The Island Brothers regained the tag titles with a strong showing versus the champs. The second semi-final saw Exotic Rick win by countout as Studmuffin never showed and the ref was forced to count to 10. Dude Brohan was getting close to retaining his title when Ruffian, Yuppie VP and Chief Buffalo appeared on the World of Wrestling Tron, holding up an unconscious Studmuffin. The distraction proved enough and Tycoon got the win. After Valedictorian’s win, he grabs the mic and says that while he would rather have been facing his friend Dude Brohan, he’ll happily take the belt off Mr. Tycoon. |
