- BUTCHER'S RULES -
Arik Cannon vs. Necro Butcher
Necro Butcher defeated Arik Cannon with a NECRO BOMB at 12:41
Match Notes: What a way to open up the card! Necro Butcher and manager, Oliver Humperdink came out, and Humperdink demanded that the ref make the match "Butcher's Rules," which meant anything is legal, including weapons! Arik Cannon came down, and was ready for a fight, and had no problem agreeing! The bell rang, and the two tore into each other, using whatever could be used as a weapon, including a fan's crutch, and another fan's belt, as well as a fan's keys. After smashing Cannon a couple times with his chain, Butcher deliver a legdrop with a chair on the apron, to the face of Arik Cannon. It was a brutal sight. Butcher then hit the NECRO BOMB for good measure, and got the victory. Humperdink's men are proving to be quite a hellacious force here in ROG. Butcher stared down at Cannon, as if he was ready to do some more damage, but Humperdink dragged his man out of there.

- Commissioner Cox makes an announcement! -
Commissioner Cox comes out, and first announces that tonights World Television Title match will be fought with a 15 minute time limit! His next announcement, is that the ROG will be returning to pay per view in a little over 2 months(Card #20), entitles the Sin City Spectacular, and it will be live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV! But before that, Ring Of Glory will be coming to prime time on a Saturday Night(Card #15) for a special show! ON that show, we will get another rematch between World Champion, Harley Race, and Nick Bockwinkle for the ROG World Heavyweight Title! Also announced was a tag match between Ox Baker and Necro Butcher against Red Bastien and a mystery partner!

Erick Stevens vs. Koko B. Ware
Koko B. Ware defeated Erick Stevens with a DISQUALIFICATION at 5:00
Match Notes: Short match, nothing to exciting here. Stevens was overpowering Koko from the start. They began brawling outside the ring, where Stevens hit Koko with a ringside monitor, resulting in a DQ loss for Stevens, who was not a happy camper, who threatened to strike the referee in angery, but Koko grabbed Stevens and delivered a few fists to the face, before Stevens fell through the ropes, and out of the ring. The fans popped as Koko danced around with his bird, as Stevens looked on in disgust.

Heartbreak Express vs. Backseat Boyz
Sean Davis defeated Trent Acid with a Michinoku Driver at 10:54
Match Notes: The previous meeting between these two teams went to a double DQ. The next match for the Backseat Boyz after that, saw them fail in their bid to regain the World Tag Team Titles. Tonight they attempt to start working their way back up the ladder, into contention for the titles. But the Express controlled most of the match, partly thanks to nefarious means, and go on to get the win. The Heartbreak Express' manager, Eddie Fyne, then declared after the match, that not only are Phil and Sean Davis the sexiest men alive, they are soon to be the next ROG World Tag Team Champions! Not sure one win qualifies them as contenders, but we'll see what they have in store.

- ROG WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP-15 Minute Time Limit -
Gorgeous George vs. Mike Quackenbush
for the ROG World Television Championship
This match ended in a draw (TIME LIMIT DRAW) at 15:00
Match Notes: Mike Quackenbush retains the title via time limit draw! Earlier in the night, Commissioner Cox announced that this match would have a 15 minute time limit, rather than the usual 10 minutes for TV Title defenses. Even with the extra 5 minutes, we still didn't get a definitive finish. It was another good back and forth match, with each man able to use their finishers, but both were determined, and would not be pinned. For all his flamboyance, Gorgeous George showed some toughness and fight in this match. After the match, Gorgeous George grabbed the belt from the ref, and in frustration planted it across the face of Mike Quackenbush! George then put the belt on, and paraded around the ring to a chorus of boos. Up next for Quackenbush is a title defense against Buddy Rose, another man he went to a draw with. The real question is, will we get Quackenbush/George III?

Delirious vs. Adam Pearce
Delirious defeated Adam Pearce with a CHEMICAL INBALANCE #2 at 2:12
Match Notes: Before the match, Adam Pearce declared that he wanted to be known as "Hardcore" Adam Pearce! "Hardcore" Adam Pearce then proceeded to lose very quickly to Delirious! After the match, Pearce attacked Delirious, and tried to rip his mask off, that's when The Sandman showed up! This time his SINGAPORE CANE was wrapped in barbed wire! Pearce saw it, and had a look of fear in his eyes, and quickly got out of there! The Sandman was heard yelling at Pearce, "I thought you were hardcore!"

Paul Ellering and Road Warriors vs. Bobby Heenan and Valentines
Animal defeated Bobby Heenan with a DOOMSDAY DEVICE at 2:47
Match Notes: At RingWars, Paul Ellering debuted in ROG as the Road Warriors manager, for what was an incredible tag team match between the Valentines and the Road Warriors. A brawl ensued after that match, so tonight, we got a big six man match, which sees the managers of both teams in action! You could see in Heenan's face he was very hesitant for this match, where as his counterpart, Paul Ellering, was ready for a fight. A fight is what we got. The action started before the bell even rang, with the six men brawling all over the ringside area...well four of the men brawling, and Ellering chasing around Bobby Heenan. After a slamming the Valentines into the ringpost, ring stairs, ringside table, and guard rails. The Road Warriors finally threw Greg and Johnny in the ring to start the match. And a short time later, the Road Warriors finished it with the DOOMSDAY DEVICE! Ellering finally did get ahold of Heenan, and Heenan desperately tried to escape, getting his attire ripped off in the process. The Valentines finally grabbed their manager, and left the ringside area, while the fans cheer wildly for the Road Warriors!

Mil Mascaras vs. Killer Kowalksi
Mil Mascaras defeated Killer Kowalksi with a CROSSBODY ATTACK at 5:25
Match Notes: This was a rematch from RingWars, where Kowalski used a ringside table as a weapon to help him defeat Mil Mascaras, who was on tour in the US. Mascaras decided to stick around Ring Of Glory, to get another shot at Kowalski, who called Mascaras nothing but a freak hiding behind a mask. Kowalski was eager for this rematch to crush Mascaras once and for all. Kowalski did dominate most of the match. But a simple mistake led to Mascaras hitting a slingshot plancha, and then a CROSSBODY ATTACK, which was all Mascaras needed for the win! After the match, Kowalski attacked Mascaras, delivering a knee to the back, and then locked in a CLAW HOLD...until he ripped of Mil Mascaras' mask!! Mascaras quickly covered his face. He grabbed his cape that he wears to ringside, covered his face, and got out of there, while Kowalski held the mask up like a title belt, with an evil smile on his face!

- ROG UNITED STATES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP -
Jimmy Snuka vs. Frank Gotch
for the ROG United States Heavyweight Championship
Frank Gotch defeated Jimmy Snuka with a GOTCH TOEHOLD at 5:43
Match Notes: Frank Gotch retains the ROG United States Heavyweight Title! After his big win over Buddy Rogers at RingWars, Snuka earned this title shot, but you could see he was hobbling a bit from Rogers' post match attack on Snuka that night. Gotch, wisely, worked over that knee, wearing Snuka out. With Snuka not able to drag himself up, Gotch locked in the GOTCH TOEHOLD for the submission win. Gotch did help Snuka to his feet after the match. Buddy Rogers was spotted in the isle way, with a sly smile on his face. He got on the mic, and sarcastically congratuled Snuka for such a courageous effort. Rogers then said if Snuka had half the intestinal fortitude that he had, Snuka would have won the match anyways. Frank Gotch interjected himself, and said if Rogers was half the man Snuka was, then Rogers wouldn't need all the dirty tactics and the valet to help him win a match. Rogers scoffed at Gotch's comments. Gotch then challenged Rogers to a match. Rogers didn't seem to want any part of that. Gotch then offered to put the US Title on the line. Rogers would finally accept, and the match was signed!(Card #14)

Coming up on the next show, the main event will be for the World Tag Team Titles, when The Valiants challenge Iron Shiek and Nikolai Volkoff. Also Buddy Rose and Mike Quackenbush will have a rematch for the World TV Title, Don Leo Jonathan makes his ROG debut, and Paul Ellering and Bobby Heenan will meet in the ring, one on one!!

[marktaggart]

I like that Gorgeous George versus Mike Quackenbush match-up. Hopefully the series continues, as I can imagine good chemistry and good matches between the two.

Bobby Heenan vs. Paul Ellering
Bobby Heenan defeated Paul Ellering with a PIN USING ROPES at 8:39
Match Notes: These two managers step into the ring one on one for the first time. Heenan really wanted nothing to do with this match, but with his tag team behind him, he reluctantly got in the ring, and Ellering wasted no time in going at Heenan. Heenan though did have a couple long stretches controlling the match, mainly by using questionable tactics. The Road Warriors, who initially didn't come out with Paul Ellering, eventually came out, when the Valentines attempted to get involved. THe two teams began brawling outside the ring. Amidst the chaos, Heenan pulled something out of his tights, and hit Ellering in the head with it. He then covered, used the ropes for leverage, and got the tainted win over Paul Ellering. Officials and wrestlers had to come down and break up the fight between the Valentines and the Road Warriors, a feud that continues to intensifies. Commissioner Cox would later announce the two teams will meet in a Texas Death Match on the special Saturday Night Slams cards

- ROG WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP -
Buddy Rose vs. Mike Quackenbush
for the ROG World Television Championship
Buddy Rose defeated Mike Quackenbush with a BOMBS AWAY at 1:04
Match Notes: Buddy Rose becomes the new ROG World Television Champion! Before the match, Commissioner Cox announced that Mike Quackenbush and Gorgeous George will meet on the Saturday Night Slams card. If Quack is still TV Champion by then, then the match will have a 20 minute time limit, and will be the last match between the two for the title. If Quack loses the title before then, they will still have the match, because everyone wants to see a clear cut winner between the two...The previous meeting between Buddy Rose and Quack went to a time limit draw. Rose wasted no time in getting the upper hand in this match. Before the bell rang, while Quack was handing the TV Title to the ref, Rose jumped Quack, starting the match, and catching Quack off guard. Rose quickly hit the BOMBS AWAY for a two count. Rose hit it again, and scored a stunning win to capture the title. Rose celebrated his win, while Quack started at him in frustration.

Buddy Rose won the ROG World Television Championship

Brent Albright vs. Bob Orton Jr
Bob Orton Jr defeated Brent Albright with a piledriver at 3:07
Match Notes: Bob Orton gets his first win in ROG. Albright hit a couple hard forearms and a couple snap suplexes early and seemed to have control, but he ducked his head early going for a back body drop, and got a kick to the head. Orton then quickly hit a piledriver, and got the win.

Age Of The Fall vs. Young Bucks
Tyler Black defeated Matt Jackson with a superkick at 12:38
Match Notes: Not an impressive debut for the Young Bucks, as they were completely dominated,getting in no offense, as Age of the Fall pick up a victory.

The Destroyer vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan
The Destroyer defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan with a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK at 1:45
Match Notes: The Destroyer looks to get back on track after failing to regain the US Title. THe Destroyer may not get another shot at the US Title while Frank Gotch is champion, but The Destroyer is a threat to any title. HE proved that again tonight by dominating a very tough, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who got in no offense.

Don Leo Jonathan vs. Buddy Rogers
Buddy Rogers defeated Don Leo Jonathan with a FIGURE FOUR GRAPEVINE at 1:29
Match Notes: Buddy Rogers spoils the debut of the "Mormon Giant."
Before the match got started, Sensational Sherri was on the apron showing off her "assets" to the referee, distracting him. Rogers snuck up behind the Jonathan, and low blowed him. Sherri dropped off the apron, and the ref started the match. Jonathan was already at a disadvantage thanks to the low blow. Rogers didn't take long chopping the big man down to size, and getting the win with the FIGURE FOUR GRAPEVINE. Rogers has a shot at Frank Gotch and the US Title on the next card.

The Sandman vs. Nick Bockwinkle
Nick Bockwinkle defeated The Sandman with a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK at 5:14
Match Notes: Before the match, The Sandman threw out a challenge to Adam Pearce, saying if Pearce really thinks he is hardcore, then The Sandman has a buddy Pearce should step in the ring with. He says if Pearce has the balls, he will step into the ring with this mystery man on Saturday Night Slams! The match then starts, and The Sandman actually controlled most of it, until a mistake led to Bockwinkle quickly put the match away. Bockwinkle cut on of his trademark arrogant promos after the match, about Harley Race and the upcoming World Title match on Saturday Night Slams.

- ROG WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP -
The Valiants vs. Iron Shiek & Nikolai Volkoff
for the ROG World Tag Team Championship
Iron Sheik defeated Jimmy Valiant with a Sidewinder Suplex at 1:05
Match Notes: Iron Shiek and Nikolai Volkoff retain the ROG World Tag Team Titles! The Valiants have been on a roll lately, after a win at RingWars, they threw out the challenge to face the champs, and got the opportunity tonight. Before the match, Shiek and Volkoff did their routine of waving their countries flags, and running down Americans on the mic. The Valiants jumped Shiek and Volkoff, ending their tirade on Americans, and starting the match. But that wound up backfiring, as during the brawling, Jimmy Valiant got hit with one of the flag poles, and the ref never saw it. Shiek then hit the Sidewinder Suplex, and got the pin to retain their titles!

Coming up on the next card, it's a loaded show, with Bobo Brazil teaming with Giant Baba to meet Ted DiBiase and King Kong Bundy. Plus, Mike Quackenbush looks to regain the World TV Title from Buddy Rose, Buddy Rogers challenges Frank Gotch for the US Title, and we get video from Japan where World Champion, Harley Race, made a visit to defend the title against Antonio Inoki!

[Crimson Cross]

The last Two events had some solid action and I loved the brutal match between Necro Butcher and Arik Cannon had, plus Humperdink pulling Necro out of the before anymore damage was a good thing for Cannon. Delirious over Adam Pearce is Cool and I loved the barbed wired cane the Sandman had to put fear in Pearce's eyes, Crazy Stuff. I loved how Sandman challenges Pearce, but loses to Nick Bockwinkel which is a semi-bummer. Very Cool that Buddy Rose took the TV Belt from Mike Quackenbush, I really like seeing Rose win Gold...

[Deleted]

Great card, shocked to see Buddy Rose beat Quack so quickly, wow. I have a feeling he wont be hlding onto the belt long though.

[cruefan68]

The great action continues and I loved seeing Playboy Buddy Rose come away with championship gold. Sheik & Volkoff were a favorite team of mine back in the day and it looks like they are having a solid run for you.

- ROG WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP -
Mike Quackenbush vs. Buddy Rose
for the ROG World Television Championship
This match ended in a draw (TIME LIMIT DRAW) at 10:00
Match Notes: Buddy Rose retains the ROG World Television Title via a time limit draw. Rose lucked out in this one, as Quackenbush dominated the match, but couldn't pin Rose, and eventually the time ran out, and we have yet another time limit draw. Since Quack didn't regain the title, that means his match with Gorgeous George on Saturday Night Slams will simply be for bragging rights.(Promoters Note: I'm contemplating changing the time limit to 15 minutes. I don't have a problem with time limit draws, but I have had a lot of them lately, so I'm wondering if I should change it to 15 minutes.)

Young Bucks vs. Heartbreak Express
Nick Jackson defeated Phil Davis with a spin kick at 5:28
Match Notes: The Young Bucks pick up their first win in ROG, in dominating fashion. Eddie Fyne eats his words from a few shows back, stating Heartbreak Express were soon to be World Tag Team Champions.

Koko B. Ware vs. Erick Stevens
Erick Stevens defeated Koko B. Ware with a DOCTOR BOMB at 21:09
Match Notes: Surprisingly excellent match. Their previous meeting saw Koko get the win by DQ. Stevens overpowered Koko most of the match, but Koko had some nice spurts of offense as well. In the end, Stevens hard hitting was too much for Koko, and Stevens picks up a nice win.

- ROG UNITED STATES HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP -
Buddy Rogers vs. Frank Gotch
for the ROG United States Heavyweight Championship
Frank Gotch defeated Buddy Rogers with a DISQUALIFICATION at 2:59
Match Notes: Frank Gotch retains the ROG United States Heavyweight Title! This match came about after a US Title defense by Gotch against Jimmy Snuka, where Buddy Rogers put down an injure Snuka's performance. Gotch was quick to throw out a challenge to Rogers who initially didn't accept, until Gotch offered to put the US Title on the line. Before the match, Commissioner Cox came out and announced a special referee for the match...Jimmy Snuka!! This infuriated Rogers, and took him off his game. From the bell, Gotch dominated, and completely schooled Rogers. After hitting an Iowa Backdrop on Rogers, Rogers rolled to the floor to try and regroup. When Gotch followed, Rogers planted a chair across the head of Gotch. Snuka called for the bell, Dq'ing Rogers. Rogers took another shot on Gotch with the chair. He went for a third one, but Snuka came out, and grabbed the chair, and then laid out Rogers with it!! The fans cheered wildly as Snuka raised Gotch's hand, meanwhile, Sherri was trying to help her man up, and to the back.

- Match announcement for Saturday Night Slams -
Commissioner Cox came out, and ran down the current lineup for this coming Saturday Night Slams prime time special. He then announced another match for the card, it will be a Mexican Death Match, pitting Mil Mascaras against Killer Kowalski!

Kings Of Wrestling vs. Killer Bees
Claudio Castagnoli defeated Jim Brunzell with a RICOLA BOMB at 29:09
Match Notes: The Killer Bees continue to struggle in ROG, but they have put on excellent matches, and this was no different. They gave the KOW a tough match, that went nearly 30 minutes, of great back and forth tag action. The KOW pull it out in the win. After the match, manager Larry Sweeney stated that the KOW want a tag team title shot, and demanded that Commissioner Cox give them that shot at the Sin City Spectacular on pay per view. There is no doubting they deserve a shot, as they have been a dominant team.

Adam Pearce vs. Red Bastien
Red Bastien defeated Adam Pearce with an abdominal stretch at 23:57
Match Notes: Before the match, Adam Pearce got on the mic, and answered The Sandman's challenge to wrestle The Sandman's "buddy" in a Hardcore Match on Saturday Night Slams. Pearce said he isn't afraid of The Sandman, or any of The Sandman's drunken friends. Pearce then went on to lose to Red Bastien, in a very good back and forth match. Pearce tried every dirty trick he could, but couldn't put away Bastien. After the match, House of Humperdink members, Necro Butcher and Ox Baker came out, and began beating down on Red Bastien, demanding him tell them who his mystery partner is for their tag match on Saturday Night Slams. But Bastien would not give it up. Finally the lights went out, and were out for several minutes. A large silhouete could be seen, but no one could make out who it was. A lot of commotion was heard. When the lights came back on, Butcher and Baker had been laid out, and Bastien was leaning back up against a corner, acting as if he had no clue what just happened.

Giant Baba and Bobo Brazil vs. King Kong Bundy and Ted DiBiase
Giant Baba defeated Ted DiBiase with The running double axe handle misses! There\'s a rollup! at 9:41
Match Notes: These four men have been involved in a bitter feud as of late. This was a wild battle, and the ref had a hard time controlling the action. The end saw DiBiase try a running axe handle on Baba, only to eat a huge boot to the face, and then get pinned. The fight continued after the match, until the babyfaces cleared the ring of DiBiase and Bundy.

- ROG WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP-From Tokyo, Japan -
Antonio Inoki vs. Harley Race
for the ROG World Heavyweight Championship
Harley Race defeated Antonio Inoki with a PILEDRIVER at 10:16
Match Notes: Harley Race retains the ROG World Heavyweight Title! This was video footage from Japan, where Harley Race recently was on tour, and this match of the tour was a World Title defense against Japanese star, Antonio Inoki. It was very good match, and different style of match than Race is used too, as Inoki utilized some martial arts. Inoki came very close to winning the title, after hitting his ENZIGURI, quickly followed by locking in the OCTOPUS HOLD. But the tough as nails Race broke the hold, and battled back, to win it, but it took four PILEDRIVERS through the match to finally defeat Inoki. Inoki and Race bowed to each other after the match in a show of respect. Up next for Race is another World Title defense on the next card, Saturday Night Slams, against Nick Bockwinkle!

0015 Saturday Night Slams
01.15.2012 from Hara Arena, Dayton, OH

Gorgeous George vs. Mike Quackenbush
Gorgeous George defeated Mike Quackenbush with a COUNTOUT at 3:08
Match Notes: After two TV title matches that went to time limit draws(before Quack lost the title to Buddy Rose), this match was made to give the fans a clear cut winner between the two. Instead, thanks to distraction from Cherie Dupre, that allowed Gorgeous George to blindside Quack outside the ring, which led to him being counted out. So once again, we don't really have a clear cut winner between these two rivals.

- HARDCORE MATCH -
Adam Pearce vs. Sabu
Sabu defeated Adam Pearce with a CAMEL CLUTCH at 10:55
Match Notes: When Adam Pearce accepted the challenge to face The Sandman's "buddy", Pearce had no idea it would turn out to be Sabu!! The fans popped big for the Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Sabu! Sabu brought his high flying, and hardcore brand of wrestling right at Pearce. Pearce though nearly pulled off the win, after a missed TRIPLE JUMP MOONSAULT, led to a JUMPING PILEDRIVER, but Sabu kicked out. After busting Pearce open, and wearing him down, Sabu got the submission with the CAMEL CLUTCH, in an impressive debut in ROG!

- MEXICAN DEATH MATCH -
Mil Mascaras vs. Killer Kowalksi
Mil Mascaras defeated Killer Kowalksi with a roll up at 21:28
Match Notes: This match was a war! This feud began at the RingWars pay per view, when Killer Kowalski beat Mascaras, using questionable tactics. Mascaras stuck around ROG to get a return match, in which he won. After the match, Kowalski attacked Mascaras, and ripped off his mask, which is a huge no no! Mascaras demanded this rematch, under his terms, a Mexican Death Match. Mascaras showed no only can fly around like a luchador, but he can brawl with the best of them, giving Kowalski a major fight. The match went back and forth, and saw a lot of brawling outside the ring, and some ringside weapons used. The came when Kowalski went charging at Mascaras into the turnbuckle, and Mascaras moved. Kowalski crashed into an exposed turnbuckle, one which he exposed earlier in the match, and was knocked for a loop. Mascaras rolled up Kowalski, and got the victory. It was announced afterwards, that Mascaras would be sticking around ROG for the long haul, as he signed a longer term contract!

- Commissioner Cox makes huge announcement!! -
Commissioner Cox comes out, and talks about the great success Ring Of Glory has had over its short existence. They have had sold out crowds everywhere they have gone. Fans all over the country are clamoring for Ring Of Glory action, and wrestlers all over the world want to be a part of Ring Of Glory. Ring Of Glory is answering the call, and has decided to expand to a territory system!! Live Ring Of Glory action can now be seen throughout the country. More on the territories will be announced in the future, but as of right now, ROG has 4 territories set up in different parts of the country. Each territory will have their own set of champions, and the ROG World Champions will travel through the territories, defending the titles against the best the feds have to offer.

Commissioner Cox also announced that another World Title will soon be added to the fold, the World Junior Heavyweight Title! A one night only tournament is planned in the upcoming month, to crown the first champion.

Commissioner Cox also announced that ROG has at least 2 more pay per views planned for the year.

- TEXAS DEATH MATCH -
Valentines vs. Road Warriors
Hawk defeated Johnny Valentine with a DOOMSDAY DEVICE at 31:36
Match Notes: These two teams have been in a bitter feud since the start of the fed, and it continues to get more intense with each confrontation. This was no different. With the Texas Death Match rules, this match was wild, hard hitting, and bloody. They tore into each other with everything they had for over 30 minutes. The end came, when Animal and Greg were brawling on the outside, and Animal whipped Greg hard into the ring post, knocking Greg out. This left Johnny alone for Hawk and Animal to connect with the DOOMSDAY DEVICE, to get the big victory. With the Valentines left in a bloody mess, and defeated, could this finally be the end to this feud? We shall see. There is no doubt throughout the feud, that both teams showed they are threats to the tag team titles, and now with the win for the Warriors, they should soon be in line for a title shot.

Andre the Giant and Red Bastien vs. Ox Baker and Necro Butcher
Red Bastien defeated Necro Butcher with a DISQUALIFICATION at 9:23
Match Notes: Bastien went out and found himself another partner to battle Oliver Humperdinks men, and it was a partner they weren't expecting..Andre The Giant!! The crowd went absolutely nuts for the "8th Wonder of the World!" Baker and Butcher didn't emotionally seem to be affected by the appearance of Andre, but boy were they physically. Andre was an absolute force, and Bastien got in a lot of offense as well. Eventually the match would spill to the floor, and all four men began brawling. That's when Baker and Butcher got ahold of weapons from under the ring, and used them, which resulted in a DQ. The brawl continued briefly, but with Andre getting the better of Butcher and Baker, they eventually backed off. It was a fun appearance for Andre, and we hope to see more of him in ROG!

- ROG WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP -
Nick Bockwinkle vs. Harley Race
for the ROG World Heavyweight Championship
Harley Race defeated Nick Bockwinkle with a vertical suplex at 21:33
Match Notes: Harley Race retains the ROG World Heavyweight Title! This was the big rematch from RingWars, where Race regained the World Title. That match didn't have Bobby Heenan at ringside. Heenan threatened action if he wasn't allowed at ringside for this match. Cox would allow it, but Race made it be known if Heenan tried anything, Race would take care of him himself. It would turn out, Race wouldn't have to do anything...The match was excellent, back and forth. Bockwinkle twice came close to the win, with the BOCKWINKLE SLEEPER and FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. Race managed to escape both times. So Heenan tried to interject himself...that led to the ref ejecting him from ringside!! Race made a come back, and put the match away to retain the title!


A promoter's note about the territories. My intentions all along was to grow the fed into territories, utilizing all the wrestlers available. I had not intended to do this so soon. But after thinking last night about everything coming up in the coming year I wish to accomplish, I may not have as much time as I hope to to try and build the fed more. Especially since my wife and I are attempting to start a family, and have housework to do before that. Part of it is also a littie impatience, because of all the great cards available. So with that said, after I complete the Sin City Spectacular pay per view on Card #20, that is when I will start with the territories.

[hotfuzz1980]

I'm looking forward to your Territory System and it should really spice up you Fed. It's good to see Harley Race retain the Gold over Nick Bockwinkel and I'm still enjoying the Sandman versus Adam Pearce feud and seeing Sabu over Pearce adds fuel to the fire, Solid Stuff...
