- This article, by media relations chief Mike Lano, appeared on HoDWrestling.Com - Over the first few months in the life of Heart of Dixie Championship Wrestling, the promotion has already run several shows that fall under different categories within the HoD structure. For the most part, these categories don't affect the fan at all, but there have been questions about why this show was handled this or that way while another show was handled differently. We want to address those questions. Keep in mind that a lot of these terms are tied into wrestler contracts and such.
The base show is the televised Heart of Dixie Companionship Wrestling show which airs live every Saturday night. Everything else is born from what you see here. As HoD grows, our goal is to increase the current time allotment for the show, and increase the number of matches and interviews we bring you.
There is what we are now calling a "supershow." DixieSlam is our only supershow to date. Our next will be Hot Southern Night held on July 4th. These are the shows that will one day, hopefully soon, be broadcast live on PPV. Whether these PPVs are streamed on this website, or broadcast over a PPV cable channel remains to be seen. The supershow schedule is set through the end of the year, and there will be 3 more in addition to Hot Southern Night. The results of supershows will be reported on the weekly tv show and on this website. Additionally, footage of significant events may be shown on the show as well.
The last type of show is what we internally call a house show. These are usually held on Friday nights once or twice a month to begin. As HoD grows, expect the number of house shows to grow. The promotion for these types of shows will be handled on this website, or in the form of interviews held with wrestlers participating in the event. These interviews will be broadcast only in the area local to the upcoming show, and they are run during commercial breaks. The results of these shows will be posted on this website, and will only be specifically referred to on the tv show if a significant event occurs. One small exception is the upcoming "Saluting the Fallen." While this show has a specific name, it does fall under this category of show. We have given it a name due to it being a tribute to the troops show held on Memorial Day.
Hopefully, this has given you some understanding about the reason shows are handled the way they are. The main thing to remember is that the cameras DO NOT have to rolling, or the show DOES NOT have to have a fancy name, in order for it to be inportant to what is going on in HoD.

Heart of Dixie Episode 9 05.27.2000 from
- Opener with MASADA - Bischoff opens by asking MASADA about his ongoing battles with Necro Butcher. MASADA says that ever since his career began, some fans and writers have called him a Necro Butcher knock-off. Yes, they are both into the hardcore, ultraviolent style, and there are a lot of things that wrestlers who use that style have in common. Besides those things, he sees little in him that would be considered copying NB. Normally, he doesn't give a about what anybody says, and he still doesn't. He says he guesses he needs to prove it to himself. The best way to do that is to beat NB. It may not stop the people from talking, but he will be finally convinced it doesn't matter instead of having to keep telling myself over and over. He said that he will probably lose his match today against Bruiser Costa. The reason is because he is so frustrated that he will take it out on Costa and get disqualified. NB walks up and says you will lose because you suck. He tells MASADA that the people are right. MASADA is a Butcher copycat and a bad one at that. You want to be me. You will never be me, and it kills you. If I give you another couple of beatings like I have so far, you will wish you were dead.
The opening match began with a situation similar to what happened last time Rex Havoc wrestled. This time, however, The Dark Menace whispered a few words to his man at the top of the aisle, motioned for him to go to the ring, and turned to leave. Havoc grabbed TDM's shoulder and spun him around. Havoc said, "you're staying with me." Michael Kai Rayne stepped out and shoved Havoc away. Havoc looked ready to fight, but the Menace pointed to the ring again. Havoc relaxed, shook his head a couple of time, and walked down the aisle without a word.
Rex Havoc vs. Latvian Proud Oak Latvian Proud Oak defeated Rex Havoc with a Tree Top Drop Match Notes: As the match began, Solie reminded us that this was Oak's first match back since the attack by Stu Stone. The Baltic Siege had released a statement saying that Thunderfrog and Troll would remain as the tag team for the time being as Oak did not want to mess up the current dynamic. Solie did comment that observers had noted that the original team had more success than the current incarnation. Oak did look a bit lost in the early going, and it was clear he was used to tag team wrestling. The match settled down and became much more competitive. Then, it got strange. Havoc had just hit a high-impact move on Oak that looked very likely to have finished him off. TDM showed up and distracted the ref. As Havoc was about to cover, Rayne hit the ring and picked up Oak. Havoc looked confused. Rayne called for a double-team which the Forces crossed-up. Havoc accidentally knocked Rayne over the top rope and then walked right into Oak's finisher. He did kick out and the match continued. Later, when Oak had a possible pin, TDM distracted again and Rayne broke it up. TDM and Rayne left after this, but Menace watched the match from the top of the aisle. After Oak finally pinned Havoc, the Menace motioned for his man to come to him. Havoc stumbled that way. Menace met him halfway and tore into him verbally. When Havoc mentioned something about Rayne, TDM said that you aren't fit to say his name. TDM berated Havoc until they were off the arena floor.
Bruiser Costa is in the ring. He calls for a mic. Costa says that he wants to make sure everybody heard MASADA trying to cover his ass earlier. Making excuses about why he will lose. MASADA will lose because I'm The Bruiser. All those other Bruisers are posers. Today is the first day of the rest of my career, and things are gonna change.
MASADA vs. Bruiser Costa MASADA defeated Bruiser Costa with a High Angle Belly to Back Suplex Match Notes: Costa did put up a fight, but MASADA managed to keep it together and wrestle a solid match. Necro did interfere at one point when MASADA was going for a pin. After the real pin, MASADA got on the mic. He said that he's been asking HoD to let he and Butcher go at it the way they are used to. They've been given NO DQ matches, but anybody can go NO DQ. They've already had a street fight and a chain match, and he will taking on Butcher in a chain match soon. He wants HoD to let them do it their way. Bill Watts comes to the ring. He tells MASADA that NO DQ is the best he can do. HoD isn't any of those other promotions that MASADA has worked for. We don't do Spider Cages and Exploding Glass Whatevers. You and Butcher can settle it our way or we will find you somebody else to wrestle.
Excalibur vs. Tommy End Tommy End defeated Excalibur with an OWARI DEATH FOOT STOMP Match Notes:
The Bravados stop on their way to the ring. They tell Solie that after they beat BLKOUT tonight and Da' Soultouchaz on Memorial Day that they are laying claim to the HoD Tag Titles. They will have beaten everybody except Stone's team, "National Suction? isn't it?" and they will deal with them when they get off suspension.
In the ring, Ruckus asks Harlem Bravado "who the hell named a pasty white cracka like you after Harlem? Do you even know where it's at?"
BLKOUT vs. The Bravado Brothers Lancelot Bravado defeated Ruckus with a Disqualification Match Notes: The Bravados celebrate the DQ win like they just won a title. "Almost there," they say. "Soultouchaz look out. You're next!" Ruckus says that "you won by DQ 'cause the ref felt sorry for you. You couldn't pin either of us if your life depended on it. Damn, I hate the Soultouchaz, and I'll lay down some heavy cash right now that they beat you up, too."
- Johnny Saint - Saint is with Bischoff. He reminds him that he mentioned last week about doing some research on Tommy End. Something didn't feel right. He had done some more, and he got some help from a real student of his. He motioned to the mohawk'd, leather jacket wearing man on the front row. Bischoff asked if the man would like to join them, but Saint said that he only gets in a ring if there's somebody for him to beat up. The man nodded and waved. Saint said that he had gotten in touch with people in the wrestling community in Norway. His student had talked to people there about End. No one who knows End at all has ever heard him say anything about Johnny Saint being an inspiration. People their had heard of Saint by reputation, but that wrestling community didn't necessarily hold the Englishman up as a legend. Bischoff asked, "so what's his problem?" Saint shrugged and said that he didn't know, but he was sick and tired of End's lies, He called out End and said to tell me what your real problem is so we can settle this soon.
Ultramantis Black vs. Crossbones Crossbones defeated Ultramantis Black with a Friggin' Sweet Driver Match Notes: Another good. long match. It looked like both men had it in the bag at different points, but the opponent made a comeback.
- Homicide - As Solie was closing, Homicide stepped up. He said he's having fun watching The Dark Menace Farces disintegrate. He wants matches with Rayne, but now Rayne won't sign any until he gives the cane back. He says that normally he would just move on, but he's never pinned Rayne and that's sticking in his gut. He says that somewhere down the line, but soon, he will put the cane up...way up...on a pole. He wants a pole match with Rayne and no Menace or Havoc in the same time zone. Whoever gets the cane down can use it or do whatever they want. Homicide says that he don't care if Abe Lincoln used it, if he gets it then he's breaking it in half. If Rayne gets it, then he's taking it from Rayne and breaking it in half. Either way, after this match, if Rayne and the Menace agree to it, that cane will be old news.

House Show #2 (Saluting the Fallen) 05.29.2000 from
- Tribute to the Troops - The show was free to all veterans and active duty servicemen. Bill Watts announced that HoD was creating a foundation to assist the families of military personnel lost or wounded.
Bruiser Costa asked for a mic. The ring announcer reluctantly surrendered it. Costa repeated the same speech from tv about being the real Bruiser in wrestling. He admitted his plan got delayed by MASADA's cheating, so today is the first day of the rest of his wrestling life. Things would be different from NOW on. Saturday was a...setback.
Bruiser Costa vs. JT Lightning JT Lightning defeated Bruiser Costa with a Disqualification Match Notes: Costa gets disqualified for using a foreign object. After the match, he asks for the mic again, but this time the ring announcer runs away. Costa chases him around the ring before getting winded and slowly leaving.
Tommy End vs. Johnny Saint Tommy End defeated Johnny Saint with an Elohim Combination Match Notes: After the pin, End sets up Saint in the corner and goes up for an QWARI DEATH FOOT STOMP. He's cllimbing up for another when a commotion distracts him. Saint's student from England is fighting with security for trying to cross the barricade. End mocks him as the security leads him away. The refs and medical personnel surround Saint. End climbs the turnbuckle again and threatens to take out all of them. Ref Remsburg tells him that if he touches a medical staffer, he won't work in the U.S. again. End decides to take the advice and climbs down. He grabs the mic from the ring announcer without asking, and says that if he sees Saint's limey POS pal again anywhere then he's getting hauled in the ring and stomped through to the floor. He looks at Saint being tended to and says that it looks like I finally got the job done.
Andy Dalton vs. DJ Hyde Andy Dalton defeated DJ Hyde with an Impaler DDT Match Notes: Dalton wins convincingly. Hyde got in some offense, but not much.
The Bravado Brothers vs. Da' Soultouchaz Marshe Rockett defeated Lancelot Bravado with a M-80 Match Notes: The Bravados suffer their first pinfall loss.
- Bill Watts and Necro Butcher - During what was supposed to be the intermission, Necro Butcher comes out with a chair. He sits the chair in the middle of the ring and demands Watts come out. He won't leave till he gets to talk to Watts. He argues with the refs awhile, and Watts finally comes out. Watts says that I didn't come to listen to your garbage, I came to order you out of the ring so we can move on. NB said that since you are here, you will listen. He continued by saying that he's sure everyone heard MASADA's whining on TV Saturday. He said that he's repeating what he told him then. MASADA IS a bad copy, and he makes us both look bad. Butcher had thought about going after MASADA in the past, but didn't want to give him any attention. MASADA was beneath his concern. Now that MASADA's here and taking it upon himself, then Butcher will gladly put him in the spotlight so he can smash the spotlight over his head. Watts asks if he's done. NB says "I will be when this of a fed gives us the match we want. Watts said that I've told you what stips are available to you. Butcher leaves the ring and goes under it. He pulls out a large board covered in barbed-wire and trash can of "weapons." Watts orders him to put it away. He stands it in the corner. He tells Watts this is what we want. Watts tells the ring crew to move the board. Butcher guards the board with a hockey stick and aluminum baseball bat. He yells at Watts to give us a real match. Watts starts to leave the ring. NB brushes past the guys slowly climbing in the ring and charges Watts from behind. He smashes Watts with the bat, and the Cowboy crumples. The ring crew scatters as NB picks up Watts and whips him into the barbed-wire board. The board breaks, trapping Watts between two layers of barbed-wire. Necro moves towards Watts, but several wrestlers hold him back. He escapes and leaves. Medical personnel return and tend to Watts. It takes a while to get him extricated and removed.
Ultramantis Black vs. Crossbones vs. Excalibur Excalibur defeated Ultramantis Black with a Tiger Driver '98 Match Notes: There are sequences where one of the competitors is taken out of the action and the other two go at it. All possible pairing get a chance to show what they can do. At first, it is almost a handicap match as both men focus on UMB. He holds them off until they decide to test the other. The extra punishment he took over the course of the match likely spelled the difference in the end.
For the main event, Sky came down with six guys in "Experience" hoodies pulled up and drawn tight around their faces. Williams came with all three members of Baltic Siege, DJ Hyde, and JT Lightning. Johnny Saint was supposed to be with them, but due to events in his match, he was not able.
- Title Announcement - Bill Apter came to the ring. He said that Bill Watts was supposed to have the honor of this announcement, but Bill was in ICU right now. He will be fine, they say, but they want to keep him under heavy observation for a while. The announcement is this. The next match, between Williams and Sky, will serve as a CO #1-contenders match for the HoD title. The winner of this match will take on the winner of the other CO #1 contenders match, Tyler Black/Donovan Dijak cage match main eventing the July 4th Hot Southern Night event. That match will take place over Labor Day weekend at the next supershow.
- Lumberjack Match - Petey Williams vs. Scorpio Sky Scorpio Sky defeated Petey Williams with a See Description Match Notes: *****, MotY candidate-quality match. The Experience were hesitant at first to mix it up with the actual wrestlers backing Williams, so Sky got the worst of the trips outside the ring. On several occasions, Sky would start to leave, realize what side he was on, and quickly whip himself back into the ring. As the match continued, one of the Experience got bolder and started firing up his fellow lumberjacks. When they went after Williams and scuffled with the other 'jacks, he held back. At one point, when the ref was focused outside the ring, the lead 'jack entered the ring with a chair. He came up behind Williams and pulled down is hoodies before clobbering Petey with the chair. It was Joey Ryan. He slid out of the ring quickly. Williams survived that bit of interference. Later, when Williams was outside the ring, Ryan nailed him with the Moustache Ride and threw him in the ring. Sky covered him for the pin.
Williams and his crew left the ring. Sky said that he like being #1 contender because to him, that's like being champ. He will beat Black or Dijak and become the first HoD champion. The rest of the Experience crowded around Sky congratulating him. Ryan grabbed a chair and laid out the other 5 member of the Experience. They each hit a finisher on their downed former comrades. Ryan said, "Guys, you're fired. You're useless now. Sky and I are the only Experience this fed needs."

Wow! Some truly brutal moments on this show...
Really like the pairing of Joey Ryan and Scorpio Sky as the Experience... Could picture those two causing all kinds of problems...
The End looks like he has accomplished his mission and finished off Saint... But, now he has the pupil to contend with...
Necro Butcher has upped the ante and is not going to quit until he gets his chance to bury Masada... That encounter will get real ugly real quick...
Really looking forward to Black vs Dijak in the cage for the top prize... Great stuff!

I didn't write one part well. The Sky/Williams winner will meet the Black/Dijak winner for the titles. I probably should've called it a CO-#1 contenders match. Sky and Ryan are going to team up until that match since I don't want anyone beating Sky and taking the luster off.
End/Saint has one more piece, and that will be the end...Pun intended.

Heart of Dixie Episode 10 06.03.2000 from
- Intro-Update on Watts et al. - The cold opening is a clip of Necro Butcher's attack on Bill Watts at last Monday's Memorial Day show. Bischoff immediately reports that Watts is still in the hospital, but is recovering. He did spend Monday night in ICU. There is a crew at the hospital right now, and they are hoping to catch him in a lucid moment and get some kind of statement.
The Dark Menace comes out with Rayne and Havoc. He says first off that Rayne accepts Homicide's challenge for a pole match with the stolen cane at stake. However, he will be in the building and there's nothing Homicide can do about it. Rayne said that for 90% of my salary, I have a right to have my adviser present. Bischoff asks Rayne if he really just said that he gives TDM 90% of his salary. Rayne says that's the going rate for a man of TDM's caliber. Havoc says "you only pay 90%? I sign over my whole check and he gives me an allowance." Bischoff is having a hard time hiding his amusement. The Menace tells Havoc that he will have Rayne knock some sense into him if he doesn't shut up about personal matters. There's a tense moment when Havoc responds with, "I'd like to see him try." TDM quiickly interjects that it's time for Rayne's match. He tells Havoc to go wait in their locker room.
Mister X vs. Michael Kai Rayne Michael Kai Rayne defeated Mister X with a Rayne of Pain Match Notes: After the bell rang, Rayne and TDM continued to consult. The ref ordered them to break it off twice, but they ignored him. Finally, the ref gave Mister X a shrug and a thumbs up. X knocked TDM off the ring apron and got two near falls on Rayne before Rayne left the ring. After this, Rayne was firmly in control.
Bruiser Costa is in the ring for the next match. He asks for a mic and tells Jeremy Borash that he better give it to him. Borash does with a big smile. Costa tries to talk, but the mic is turned off. After a couple of attempts, Costa throws the mic at a laughing Borash and starts yelling. He says that he will have his say. His "say" is essentially the same speech from his last two matches. He yells about being the only real Bruiser in wrestling. He says that his plans have suffered a couple of setbacks, but they weren't his fault. "Today is the first day of the rest of my career. Ignore those other two times I said that. I got screwed." By the time he finished talking, his voice was so scratchy that he was barely intelligible. He jumped out of the ring and asked a fan if he could have some beer. The fans agreed and Costa slammed the beer. Costa crushed the cup and handed it back to the unhappy fan who said, "You asked for some beer! Not all of it!" Costa burped in the man's face and climbed back in the ring. Bruiser Costa vs. The Hobo Bruiser Costa defeated The Hobo with The Claw Match Notes: Costa finally comes out on top, defeating the debuting Hobo. The win did not come easy. After Hobo submitted, Costa left the ring and grabbed a chair. As The Hobo got to his feet, Costa flattened him with the chair. As Costa made his way to the locker room, Solie said that he had been told they were going to stay with Costa. He couldn't imagine why, he added, but when Costa walked through the door and we saw Bill Apter standing there with another man, Solie said, "fans, this is about to get interesting." Apter called Costa over and wanted to introduce him to a fan of his. The fan was a big, burly older gentleman with white hair and smoking a cigar. Costa said, "no autographs." The stranger said that he didn't need anything signed. Meeting the great Bruiser Costa was enough. Apter introduced the man as "Reggie." The man said, "if I can just shake your hand." Costa said, "I guess it can't hurt anything." Apter shot back with "oh yes it can," as Reggie offered his hand and Costa took it. Immediately. Reggie yanked Costa into a headlock, and Costa was going nowhere. Reggie said, "you're the only Bruiser in wrestling, huh? Let me tell you this. I knew two men who earned the right to called themselves Bruiser. One was Frank, God rest his soul, and the other was my best friend, Richard. You may know of him as Dick, though. Costa said, "Dick Bruiser?" Reggie cinched in the headlock a little tighter after that comment. "Try adding a "the.". Costa's face and head was beet red. "Dick THE Bruiser? His best friend was-," Costa's face suddenly, somehow, went white. Reggie chuckled. "Your last name wouldn't happen to be Lisowski, would it, sir?" Reggie said, "boy, what's your favorite food?" "Lobster, sir." "Boy. me and you are going to have a match here in the near future. If you can beat me, then I will go own my way and you can call yourself anything you want. When I win, you will have to have yourself announced as "Lobsterboy. No, tell you what, you can use "Lobsterman. Got it?" Costa replied, "yes, sir." Reggie released the headlock and Costa collapsed to the floor. Reggie took his cigar and tapped ashes on the downed Costa. He and Apter shook hands, and Apter said, 'thanks, Crusher. Call the office and get the details worked out." Crusher left the area. Apter looked down at Costa. "So Mr. Costa, you've just agreed to a match with the legendary Crusher. What do you have to say about that?" Costa slowly got up. "I'm glad I didn't say what my real favorite food is..." Apter asked, "what's that?" Costa replied, "Beanie Weenies."
- No Contest between Excalibur and Crossbones - The scheduled match between Excalibur and Crossbones did occur, but ultimately the entire match was declared a No Contest. For record-keeping purposes in HoD, this means the match effectively never happened.
The match had been going on a while when Ultramantis Black came to the ring with Frightmare. They observed for a time. Crossbones hit the Friggin' Sweet Driver. UMB jumped on the apron and distracted the ref. Frightmare interfered and saved Excalibur. He threw Crossbones over the top rope. Crossbones re-entered the ring quickly and walked right into a Tiger Driver from Excalibur. UMB engaged the ref again and Frightmare went to save Crossbones. The ref saw this, however, and disqualified Crossbones. As Crossbones argued with the ref and Excalibur talked to Borash to figure out what happened, UMB and Frightmare attacked them both. The ref and Borash got knocked around accidentally. The four men brawled for awhile before UMB and Frightmare retreated. Excalibur tried to shake Crossbones hand again, and caught another clothesline for his trouble. After the ring had been cleared, the ref changed his call to a No Contest. Andy Dalton vs. DJ Hyde DJ Hyde defeated Andy Dalton with a Disqualification Match Notes: Dalton was disqualified for attempting to piledrive Hyde on the floor outside the ring.
- Johnny Saint and Friend - Bischoff is with Johnny Saint and his student from England. Bischoff comments that Saint appears to have been limping when he walked up. Saint said that End almost got the job done on Monday, but it was still an "almost." "If I can move then I can fight." Saint said that before I say what this is all about, it's time you meet this man. "Back in the UK, he's called the Cannon. On this side of the pond, though, he wants to use his full name." The Cannon spoke,"My mum calls me Arik, and I want all the fans calling me Arik...Arik Cannon." He thanked the American fans for being so supportive of his mentor and friend, and he called out Tommy End, saying, "I know this Tommy fellow thinks he picked an easy mark in my mate, Johnny. He's got one thing left on his mind about Tommy End, and I warn End not to take anything about my mate too lightly. " Johnny said that it looked like Monday's match may have gotten the job done, but he wasn't hurt as bad as it first appeared. He wanted to face End one more time, next week on this show, in a "Last Man Standing" Match. Saint said that he's pretty sure that one of them will need some time off after that match, and if he has anything to say about it, then "some" will be " a lot" for Tommy End.
BLKOUT vs. The Bravado Brothers Ruckus defeated Harlem Bravado with The Hate Crime Match Notes: The Bravados continue to cool off after their hot start.
- In the Hospital - Solie is closing the show when he's told we're going live to the hospital to speak with Bill Watts. When the scene changes, We see Watts in his bed. An HoD official whispers in his ear, and Watts speaks through heavy-lidded eyes. "MASADA, take him down! By ANY means necessary!"

Haha! The Dark Menace segment at the top of the show was highly entertaining... Loved the discussion of financial matters among the Menace's clients... Very witty...
And the introduction of Arik Cannon as Saint's student was a cool surprise... Really looking forward to the Last Man Standing match... But, I think that The End will be the only one walking out of that encounter...
Great stuff!

The following three videos were posted on HoDWrestling.com the week of 6/4/00
1) Eric Bischoff did a sit-down interview with Tommy End. Before Bischoff had a chance to ask a question, End said that he gladly accepts Saint's challenge for a Last Man Standing match this Saturday on TV. He hates to give the old bastard any credit, but he has to admit that he's got guts, considering this will likely be Saint's retirement match. End calls out Arik Cannon, telling him to stay out of the way. He says that he only fights legends, and Cannon is a legend only the mind of "Mum" as she tucks him in at night. While he'd rather not waste time with Cannon, he will give him a match, if it proves necessary to take him out the picture as well. Bischoff reminds End that his story about Saint being his hero ended up looking like a falsehood. End shrugged and said that he may have exaggerated a bit to make it more interesting. No, Saint wasn't an inspiration. He was never End's hero. Johnny Saint couldn't hold a candle to End's real heroes on his best day in his prime. He said he does have a problem with Saint being old, though, and that's because he's in the way. Wrestling fans like to live in the past, and it hurts the present. "I'm the present and the future," End said, "Sky, Dijak, Necro, guys like that. A fossil like Saint is taking a spot that could go to someone more deserving. A guy who can walk from the locker room without risking a coronary." When he heard Saint had signed, he decided to teach a Saint lesson about blocking the path of a young guy trying to make his way. He figured if he played to Saint's heart by claiming to be a fan, then it would make the decision easier. Bischoff asked if End thought Saint would really up and retire because somebody he's never met asked him to do so, even with the sob story. End said he didn't expect it, but hoped the story made him look like less of a jerk at the time. Now, he doesn't care. End says that Saturday night, one Saint is going to end up in Hell.
2) The next video showed MASADA in graveyard at night next to an open grave. The tombstone has NB crudely chiseled on it, and it is wrapped in barbed wire. MASADA takes a trashcan of weapons and dumps them in the grave. He throws some barbed-wire in there as well. His hands are bleeding.
"I know what you're all thinking. Another skit in a graveyard. Yea they're pretty played out. You see, HoD, this isn't a skit. This is real life, or as the case may be, real death. Butcher likes to call one of his moves, Choose Death. I'm not giving him a choice. Death is coming, Butcher, and this is where it will take you. You like barbed-wire and nail-studded bats? They will be your coffin. You see, Butcher, this grave is very close to where we will be having the match that Watts ordered me to take on. You understand? I have HoD's blessing to do whatever I want. When out final match is done, I'm going to drag you to this hole and throw you in. You won't actually be dead-probably-but you'll wonder how much worse death can feel."
3) The Dark Menace and Michael Kai Rayne posted a video. They had been informed that Mister X had asked for a match. TDM said that "enhancement" don't ask for rematches. He said that X's mask must be too tight, but if he wants a rematch then he can have a rematch.
The entire card for this Saturday's house show was announced- Latvian Proud Oak vs. Frightmare Necro Butcher vs. The debuting Dick Justice Bruiser Costa vs. The Hobo The Experience vs. Baltic Siege V2 Andy Dalton vs. DJ Hyde Homicide vs. Rex Havoc The Bravado Brothers vs. Da' Soultouchaz Crossbones vs. Excalibur (No Disqualification)
