Booker Bill Presents The PWA

[bookerbill]

I have decided to stop my OWNLive fed. As much I would like to run a multiple territory federation I found it difficult to use multiple wrestlers I was not familiar with at one time. The learning curve was just too much and I did not feel I was really enjoying the competitor’s cards to their full potential. So I have decided to focus on one of the territories in my OWNLive fed. I have made a fresh draw to determine the opening 24 competitors and will start back in 2005 for Pure Wrestling Association's first event and work my way forward. Hope you excuse the multiple restarts and enjoy the action.

Pure Wrestling Association “Debut” – Goderich, Ontario, July 22, 2005

The show opens with a solid in ring promo from Adam Pearce who declares himself the uncrowned Pure Wrestling Champion telling the fans that he is an international superstar who has held titles around the globe and now has had to come to this dump of a town to collect his latest title. Pearce tells the fans that management has already recognized his greatness but putting him in the tonight’s main event match for the Pure Wrestling Title. I that was left was to decide who he would be beating tonight. This brings out AJ Styles who tells the fans that he has also travelled the world and puts over Goderich and the fans as well to a solid ovation. This then brings out El Generico and with all three men in the ring we get a “this is awesome!” chant from ringside. Pearce decides to leave the ring to huge heat and tells Styles and Generico to figure out who will be the one to get beat in the main event.

Winner to face Adam Pearce for the Pure Wrestling Championship – AJ Styles v. El Generico
Handshake at the bell. Generico is quick out of the gate and nearly ends it with a SPIKE BRAINBUSTER that gets only two. Style battles back and both men exchange counters and high impact moves. Styles gets the best of a brawl on the floor and then plants his opponent with a STYLES CLASH for a near fall. We get plenty of brawling at ringside as the two battle into the crowd and back into the ring. Styles seems to hold the upper hand but cannot put Generico away. The action goes back to the floor again. Suddenly Adam Pearce comes back out and cracks Styles across the back with a chair shot. The referee has no choice but to stop the action and call for a disqualification. Your winner is AJ Styles. Generico is livid and chases off Pearce who has essentially handpicked his opponent for the main event. ***

Mia Yim v. Dazee Haze
This one was short but intense. Haze has the fans behind her and built on that energy for a near fall after a MIND TRIP. The action went to the floor and Yim gained the upper hand. Back inside, Yim connected with a SPINNIING SEOUL KICK for a two and then hit Haze with a second SPINNING SEOUL KICK to get the three count. *

Fire Ant v. Ethan Page w/Seleziya Sparx
Despite being from Ontario Page does not have too many fans at ringside especially against the popular Fire Ant. Page spends some time jarring with the fans and then is able to overpower Ant. Page controls with a sick looking superkick and pair of tilt-a-whirl backbreakers. A reverse brainbuster plants Ant in the middle of the ring and Page hooks the leg. 1, 2, 3/kick out. The bell sounds and Page has the win. Ant protests the count saying he kicked out but despite the fans support, the decision stands. dud

Pure Violence Title Match – Sami Callihan v. BJ Whitmer v. Rhino v. Charlie Haas v. BLK Jeez
All five men start to brawl at the bell and the fans are braced for impact. Whitmer, Rhino and Haas take their three way battle to the floor and into the fans leaving Callihan and Jeez in the ring. Callihan gets the upper hand with back to back Forearms to Remember and then traps Jeez in a STRETCH MUFFLER. The brawlers on the floor don’t see the hold being applied and Jeez submits before Haas is able to make it back to the ring to break up the hold. Sami Callihan plays it smart and is the first Pure Violence Champion! *

Tim Donst v. Eddie Edwards
Edwards gets the majority of the crowd support and starts the match strong. A diving double knees is enough for a two count and Edwards wastes no time in putting away Donst with the DIE HARD. The fans really wanted more out of this contest. dud

Michael Elgin v. Arik Royal
Elgin gets a monster ovation was he is introduced. Royal earns some of the crowd support with a handshake and we get underway. This one was epic. We get all of Elgin signature power spots in the opening half of the match including stalling vertical suplexes and Deadlift Powerbombs. Elgin hits back to back SPINNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMBS but Royal kicks out both times bring the fans to their feet. Royal begins a lengthy comeback at ringside getting the best of brawl on floor. A cloverleaf nearly ends it. Royal attacks Elgin with a chair at ringside and the fans lose it. The referee allows the match to continue and Royal nearly gets the three count with a KURT COBAIN SICK KICK. Elgin also makes use a chair to even the momentum of the match. Both men trade counters and moves. Royal picks up a near fall with an atomic drop/backbreaker combo and Elgin unleashes a pair of charging lariats that rocks the fans. To The Last Drop has a significant impact and gives Royal the advantage again and he connects with a second KURT COBAIN SICK KICK for the huge come from behind win. *****

The After Party (Rhett Titus & Johnny Goodtime) v. The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson)
Love them or hate them, the Bucks gets a reaction everywhere they compete and tonight was no different. The fans ate up the action early on when Titus and Goodtime took the fight to the Jackson brothers. Titus nearly gets the winning fall after Sex Factor on Nick Jackson before the Bucks are able to get a defensive tag in and make a comeback. Matt Jackson hits a MOONSAULT on Titus for a near fall. The action rolls to the floor. Goodtime charges Matt Jackson but Jackson ducks a clothesline and Nick is ready with a chair shot that lays out Goodtime with a superkick. The Bucks then execute a double team slam putting Goodtime through a table! The referee calls for the bell and awards the bout to the After Party by disqualification but it does not look like Goodtime will be celebrating tonight. ***

Pure Wrestling Title Match – Adam Pearce v. AJ Styles
The crowd was super-hot for Styles and give Pearce the gears who jars right back at ringside. Pearce gets the early upper hand until Styles counters a deathjump attempt with a superplex that rocks the fans. Styles follows immediately with a STYLES CLASH but Pearce somehow gets the shoulder up at the last possible second. Pearce gets nailed with a Fosbury Flop but manages to regain control of the action after a brawl on the floor. Back in the ring Pearce nails Styles with a JUMPING PILEDRIVER but much to the fans delight Styles kick out of the cover. Pearce is stunned but quickly regains his focus and plants Styles with a second JUMPING PILEDRIVER. Adam Pearce is the first Pure Wrestling Champion. ***

It can be argued that the action cooled off after a hot opener but the final three matches really brought it with Michael Elgin v. Arik Royal being the match of the night. Adam Pearce is the first Pure Wrestling Champion and Sami Callihan wears the Pure Violence Championship. What is next for these new title holders? We will find out when the PWA travels to Cambridge Ontario for another night of action.

[aceldamas]

Nice first show.

Can't lose drawing Adam Pearce to be your top heel. He's always great for getting heat.

Elgin/Royal was solid. I always get good matches out of Arik Royal. One of my favorite cards actually.

Glad to see The After Party is back. Great name for that combo!

Thanks for the feedback Ace

Pure Wrestling Association “Summer Assault” – Cambridge, Ontario, July 31, 2005

For the second straight show the night opens with a promo from Adam Peace but this time he has the Pure Wrestling Title around his waist. He tells the fans that Arik Royal may have had the “match of the night” a few nights ago but Scrap Iron walked away with the gold tonight and he will do the same thing tonight.

Nick Madrid v. Johnny Gargano (Chik)
Madrid works the fans for support and they get behind the Canadian trained competitor. Both these men are evenly matched for the most part and really struggle early to get an advantage although Madrid does hit an impressively looking Northern Lights suplex for a near fall. Gargano gets control when he catches Madrid mounting the corner and tosses Madrid to the mat. Gargano maintains the advantage but cannot find a way to put Madrid away even after a HURTS DONUT. A low blow by Gargano draws great heat. Madrid battle back and then climbs the corner for a perfect cross body block deathjump but Gargano uses the momentum to roll through pinning Madrid to the mat and hooking the tights. Madrid is able to get out at 2 ½ and Gargano then immediately follows with a second HURTS DONUT but Madrid again kicks out. The fans are really into the action now. Gargano sends Madrid to the floor clearly frustrated and when Madrid regains the ring Gargano plants him with a third HURTS DONUT for the win. ****

Tadarius “TD” Thomas & Caprice Coleman v. Tim Donst (LE) & Ares
The fans are all over Ares & Donst as they make their way to the ring as representatives of the BDK. Donst gets the upper hand against Thomas and takes the action to the floor where Ares chokes out Thomas while Donst distracts the referee. Thomas is nearly counted out but regains the ring where Ares has tagged into the action. Ares hits a TIGER DRIVER but Thomas kicks out at 2. Ares then hits a second TIGER DRIVER but again Thomas kicks out of the pin. Ares is enraged and strikes with a third finisher. This time Thomas has no kick out and the Bruderschaft des Kreuzes pick up big win. dud

Adam Cole (ROH) v. BJ Whitmer
Cole takes several minutes to greet the fans on the way to ringside. Whitmer gets the advantage from the outside hitting a reverse DDT that stuns Cole. An Adrenaline Spike leads to a one count. Adam Cole is then nearly counted out after getting a beat down on the floor. Cole is not done however and battles back when the action goes back to ringside. Cole roles his opponent back into the ring and then scales the corner for a perfect FLYING CROSSBODY for the three count (cat’s eyes). Whitmer is adamant that he kicked out of the cover but the decision stands. **

Pure Violence Title Match – Sami Callihan (ch) v. Rhett Titus v. Fire Ant v. Rhino v. BLK Jeez
The action in this one was nearly impossible to follow as all five men battled in and out of the ring. It was complete mayhem from start to finish. Fire Ant takes the first massive bump of the match when he is suplexed onto a ladder by Jeez. Later, Callihan does more damage to Ant’s back when he rams Ant back first into each ring post drawing huge heat from the fans. Titus takes an incredible beating though-out the match. He takes a Forearm 2 Remember from Callihan and later eats a Million $ Dropkick from Jeez. He is saved from being pinned by Callihan after Ant lays out Titus with a BEACH BREAK. At one point Callihan sets up a table and attempts to Powerbomb Titus through it but Titus counters with a backdrop and it is Callihan who breaks through the table and that pretty much takes out the champion for the balance of the match. Rhino strikes with a GORE! on Titus but Jeez breaks up the cover with a stomp to the back of Rhino’s head. Jeez then nails Titus with BLK JESUS WALKS and get the three count on an unconscious Titus. We have a new champion! *****

Internet Championship Match – AJ Styles v. Eddie Edwards
A handshake gets the action underway and the fans show their appreciation. We went from mayhem in the last bout to classic wrestling in this match. The action in this one was off the charts from the opening bell. There was no real clear advantage until Edwards scored with a deathjump smash and then followed up with a DIE HARD for a two count. The theme for the balance of the action was Edwards unleashing everything he had against the phenomenal one and Styles just refusing to be beat. The beating was epic. Edwards hit a belly to belly sit-out face buster for a two count. Style manages to escape the Achilles Lock with a reversal. At one point Edwards hit back to back DIE HARDS but Style found a way to life the shoulder both times and he also kicked out after the following belly to belly sit-out face buster. The finishing sequence was back to back superkicks followed by a chin checker which set up the fifth DIE HARD of the match. Edwards makes the cover as screams stay down as the referee makes the three count. Edwards is the first Internet Champion. *** ½

Mia Yim v. Dazee Haze
Haze was not pleased after Yim got the best of her in Godridge and demanded a rematch which was signed for tonight’s action. A tough spot for the ladies to be in on the card following the last two matches. Yim looks very strong tonight from the outset with a back to back Kick Me Goodnights and a bicycle kick as well. Haze wins a brawl on the floor but Yim recaptures the momentum countering a back drop with a piledriver. Yim then hits a skytwister press and gets the three count ending the predominately one sided contest. dud

Pure Wrestling Title Match – Adam Pearce (ch) v. Arik Royal
The fans are all over Pearce as the makes his way to the ring for the main event. Pearce dominates his challenger early on but there is referee bump off of Pearce’s deathjump and the official goes down hard. With the official down and out (11 moves) Pearce is able to hit not one, but two JUMPING PILEDRIVERS. There is no pin count and the action continues. Royal is able to draw on the fans support and makes a strong comeback of his own connecting with a KURT COBAIN SICK KICK but the referee is still down. Finally the referee recovers and makes a two count after an atomic drop/backbreaker combo from Royal. The match goes back and forth from that point and Pearce is able to hit another JUMPING PILEDRIVER to retain the title. ** ½

Pure Wrestling Champion: Adam Pearce
Pure Violence Champion: BLK Jeez
Internet Champion: Eddie Edwards

A nice start to your new fed Bookerbill. I think Adam Pearce vs. Arik Royal could become quite the rivalry. I like the competition for the Pure Violence title and BLK Jeez winning was pretty cool. It was awesome to see Eddie Edwards pick up the huge win over AJ Styles for the Internet title. Looking forward to more action.

Crüe said it all!! Nice card!!

[bookerbill]

The PWA is back in action when the federation goes “Back to Skool” in Goderich Ontario.

Last card, Adam Pearce retained the Pure Wrestling Title in a controversial decision over Arik Royal. It is clear that the issues between these two has not been settled and both men will be on opposite sides of the ring in the main event as Royal teams with The After Party Rhett Titus & Johnny Goodtime to face Pearce & The Young Bucks in six man tag team action. Last time in Goderich Goodtime went through a table courtesy of the Bucks and he will be looking for some payback this time out.

Eddie Edwards is the first Internet Champion and is out to prove he is a fighting champion when he puts his title on the line for the first time against the always dangerous Tim Donst. Both men are technically sound and can also brawl so this should be an interesting contest to watch unfold.

The Pure Violence Title has already changed hands at the first two PWA cards and the fans can expect more chaotic action when new champion BLK Jeez defends his title against former champion Sami Callihan. But a one on one contest is not enough for Goderich as Rhino has been added to the match making it a three way brawl one fall to a finish. The winner walks away with the Pure Violence Title!

Two rematches from Debut have also been signed as All Ego Ethan Page will take on Fire Ant. Last time in Goderich Ant was defeated but was not happy with the three count so a rematch has been signed. As well, the fans in Goderich were denied a clean finish to the match between AJ Styles and El Generico at Debut thanks to the interference of Adam Pearce. Therefore in a special return match challenge, Generico will once again face Styles in singles action.

I hope to have the card completed and results posted soon.

Pure Wrestling Association “Back to Skool” – Goderich, Ontario, September 17, 2005

Charlie Haas v. Michael Elgin (ROH)
The fans are solidly behind Elgin as the match gets underway. Elgin rocks the fans with a Deadlift Powerbomb for an early two count. Haas comes back and really takes the fight to Elgin in and out of the ring. The HAAS OF PAIN does not get the win. Haas steps up his attack but takes things too far when he smashes Elgin with a chair at ringside and is disqualified. * ½

Adam Cole (ROH) v. BJ Whitmer
This was a rematch from Summer Assault when Cole picked up the win but Whitmer protested the three count leading to a return match being booked for this show. Whitmer went to work immediately getting the advantage with stiff chops to the chest and then nailing a reverse DDT. With Cole stunned, Whitmer hit a WRIST CLUTCH EXPLODER for the three count (cat’s eyes for the second straight bout between these two!). The fans are stunned at how quick this one was over. Dud

Ethan Page w/Seleziya Sparks v. Fire Ant
The fans are solidly behind Ant as he makes his way to the ring for a rematch from the last Goderich card. Despite the fan support, Ant struggles early and The Spinning Dwayne takes the steam out of Ant and leads to a superkick followed by a shuffle driver for the three count. Another one sided contest has the fans restless. Dud

Dazee Haze & Sara Del Rey v. Courtney Rush & Mia Yim
This bout featured four of the eight women who will compete in the Elite 8 cup at the next PWA card. We get a solid queen of wrestling chant for Del Rey as the action is about to get underway. Haze trades moves with Rush early on and then gets into some trouble against Yim taking back to back bicycle kicks that spill Haze to the floor. The experience of Del Rey and Haze as a unit shows when Haze is able to make the defensive tag to Del Rey and the momentum turns. Del Rey crushes Yim with a release German suplex and then follows with three ROYAL BUTTERFLYS in a row to get the win. Huge showcase for Del Rey who has to be considered an early favourite to win the Elite 8 tournament.*

Pure Violence Title Match BLK Jeez (ch) v. Rhino v. Sami Callihan
Business was about to pick up. The match featured plenty of brawling as you would expect but did not get that extreme until about mid-way through the contest when Rhino went for a GORE! at ringside against Callihan and missed crashing into a table. Later, Rhino suplexed Callihan onto a ladder in a crazy looking spot. Callihan showed some guts however, when he was able to kick out after a GORE! a few minutes later. The action raged on. Callihan launched a chair in to the face of Jeez and then trapped him in a STRETCH MUFFLER but the champion was able to make it to the ropes. Plenty of pin saves as the match continued. Callihan is the stand out in this one risking his own body with multiple suicide dives onto both his opponents at various points in the match. Rhino saves Jeez from another STRETCH MUFFLER and then beats on the champion himself crushing him with a running powerslam to pick up the three count and capture the title. *****

El Generico v. AJ Styles
The fans are still reeling after the last encounter but give both men a huge ovation. A handshake gets the action started. This one left the fans on their feet as both men showcased their wide range of skills from bell to bell. There was a real struggle early on to get the advantage as they exchanged counters. Generico broke out first hitting a corkscrew moonsault for a near fall and then planting Styles with a SPIKE BRAINBUSTER for another two count. The fans are really into the action from this point. Styles came back and the momentum goes back and forth. A pair of Spinal Taps takes a lot out of Generico. Both men trade slams off the top of the buckles. Styles is able to connect with a springboard 450 splash that rocks ringside and then executes the STYLES CLASH for the three count. Solid encounter and Styles gets a much needed win. ***

Internet Title Match: Eddie Edwards (ch) v. Tim Donst
The fans get behind the champion from the outset. The early action features high level countering which leads to Edwards gaining the upper hand after backdropping his challenger to the floor. Donst proves hard to beat and manages to avoid the champion’s finisher. Edwards does manage to pick up a series of near falls. Donst also survives an Achilles Lock. There is great looking spot late in the match where Donst is whipped into the corner and Edwards charges resulting in both men cracking their heads together and falling to the mat. The end comes when Edwards traps Donst in another Achilles Lock but Ares arrives and attacks Edwards with a lays him out with a Blue Thunder Bomb. Donst and Ares make the cross and stand over a fallen Edwards before leaving the ring to solid heat. Edwards is announced the winner by disqualification. * ½

The After Party (Rhett Titus & Johnny Goodtime) & Arik Royal v. Pure Wrestling Champion Adam Pearce & Young Bucks (Nick and Matt Jackson)
The fans are all over the Bucks and Pearce as they make their way to the ring. The Bucks gain the upper hand against Titus cutting him off from his corner and stunning ringside with epic double team moves. The Bucks hit MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK but can only get a two count. Nick Jackson follows with a running enzuigir but Goodtime makes the save. Titus is able to get the tag to Royal who is able to turn things around but only briefly. With Royal down, Pearce finally enters the match to huge heat but cannot put Royal away with a JUMPING PILEDRIVER. Royal catches the Champion on the top of the corner and tosses him to the mat but Pearce is able to counter the follow up tombstone piledriver. Nick Jackson tags in and connects with a 450 SPLASH. Goodtime and Titus jump into the action and things break down will all the competitors brawling in the ring. The referee makes a disqualification call against Titus and Goodtime for starting the brawl. The faces get the upper hand sending The Bucks and Pearce retreating to the back. **

Pure Wrestling Champion: Adam Pearce
Pure Violence Champion: Rhino
Internet Champion: Eddie Edwards

[aceldamas]

The big main event only fueled the fire between the competitors involved.

I like the Edwards/Donst match-up.

Rhino crushes for a hardcore title win!

[Crimson Cross]

The PWA is another solid fed of yours Booker and I really like the Pure Violence title name...

Thank you for the feedback Ace and CC.

Pure Wrestling Association “Elite 8 Woman’s Cup” – Cambridge, Ontario, October 15, 2005 (Afternoon Show)

Round One

Dazee Haze v. Christina Von Eerie
Von Eerie simply dominates this one from the outset and Haze only has one brief offensive flurry late in the match. Back to back Graveyard Smashes send Von Eerie into the next round. *

Kellie Skater v. Athena
Athena looks impressive early on with a series of take downs and technical holds that lead to a Q-FACE that only gets a two count. Skater is able to consume her Roo-Roids but cannot turn the momentum in her favour. The supplements may have helped her kick out after two consecutive Q-FACES but the third in a row is enough to get the three count. *

Courtney Rush v. Sara Del Ray
These two competitors were very evenly matched and there was no clear advantage to either lady in the opening minutes. Del Rey was able to land a moonsault (ch) that set up a ROYAL BUTTERFLY. Rush kicked out of the cover and Del Rey moved to a LeBell Lock. Rush rolled to the floor and both ladies traded blows on the floor. Rush grabbed a chair and Del Rey wrestled it away before using the weapon herself. The chair shot is costly as Del Rey is disqualified and eliminated from the tournament. * ½

Mercedes Martinez v. Mia Yim
Martinez absolutely destroys Kim from the opening bell including use of brutal chops and a series of gut busters and brain busters. Yim barely stays alive in the contest and bails to the floor. Martinez comes out after her opponent but Yim hits a bicycle kick at ringside and then gut wrench suplexes Martinez through a table at ringside. The fans are chanting and the referee makes the disqualification call. Martinez advances but is down and out at ringside. *

Round Two

Christina Von Eerie v. Athena
An interesting contrast of styles opened the next round with the brawler taking on classic mat skills. Athena showed off some countering in the opening moments but a head butt from Von Eerie really slowed Athena and lead to a 138 for a two count. Von Eerie then used a knee strike to further daze Athena before hitting a follow up 138 for the win. *

Courtney Rush v. Mercedes Martinez
Rush comes out to the ring and it is announced that Martinez cannot continue in the tournament due to injury and Rush advances to the finals without having to wrestle.

Dazee Haze & Sara Del Rey v. Kellie Skater & Mia Yim
Skater starts in against Haze and overpowers her opponent. Yim tags in and connects with three consecutive running dropkicks that has Haze reeling. Yim then downs Haze for the three count with a bicycle kick. Del Rey never tags into the match. Dud

Finals

Christina Von Eerie v. Courtney Rush

The story in this one was Rush pushing the advantage having wrestled in one less match and therefore being the fresher of the two competitors. However, Eerie proved to be difficult to beat and managed to gain the upper hand when the action went to the floor. Once again, a head butt the momentum turner and lead directly to a 138 for a near all. Eerie then followed with a Graveyard Smash and a second 138 to win the tournament. **

The match quality was not the best but the first Elite 8 Woman’s Cup goes to Christina Von Eerie. Fans will have to wait for a medical update on Mercedes Martinez. Certainly she will be looking for Mia Yim next time she appears in the Pure Wrestling Association.
