East Lansing, Michigan
June 19th 2009

CHRIS HERO (LOW Series 6) vs. "ROAD WARRIOR" ANIMAL (LOW Color)
"The crowd of about 150 people go crazy when Iron Maiden echoes throughout the bar as Animal makes his way to the ring. Hero and Animal go back and forth with great respect throughout the match, it looked as though Animal would get the win after catching the Young Knockout Kid coming off the top rope with a nasty clothesline! However, give Hero credit for not only kicking out but getting back on the offense and wearing down his older opponent to the point of getting the huge victory after hitting his HERO"S WELCOME Finisher to the surprise of the crowd!"
*After the match...Hero smirked at the crowd as his hand was raised, went over to Animal told him good match extended his hand to his opponent to help him to his feet and as Animal was going to accept it Hero pulled his hand back and flipped off the legend before leaving the ring in a show of great disrespect!*

CODE RED (Red Bastien & Billy "Red" Lyons LOW 7) vs. ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson EP 1)
"Another huge surprise appearance tonight as the legendary Rock and Roll Express get a huge pop from the crowd BUT in what many would consider a huge upset the team of Lyons and Bastien best the multi-time tag champs thanks to Morton passing out to being in Lyons FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK Finisher with Bastien stopping Gibson from breaking up the hold! A shocking result left the crowd in silence."

JAZZ
COMES TO THE RING WITH MICROPHONE IN HAND.....

It's open fight night bitches, for me to teach whom ever comes through that curtain! I don't got all night and I dont get paid by the hour.....

JAZZ (LOW 10) vs ALLYSIN KAY (Shimmer 3)
"The young Michigan Native came out to a very good ovation from the crowd with chants of AK throughout and actually had the upper hand early on thanks to her silencer but later on she would go for brook with a suicide dive threw the ropes only to hit the steel guard rail busting herself open as Jazz played possum and moved out of the way. BITCH CLAMP Finisher in the center of the ring spelled the end for Kay."

*After the match Jazz's husband Rodney Mack came into the ring and as Jazz was celebrating the victory, Rodney looked down at Kay and mocked her and Jazz joined in as well, the couple left to a chorus of boo's from the crowd*

JIMMY JACOBS (LOW 6) vs. CHRIS CANDIDO (LOW 2)

"Everyone saw a little bit of everything in this match, wrestling, brawling outside of the ring but in the end it was Michigan native Jacobs getting the hard earned win thanks to a second rope DDT! but Jimmy did not feel like the winner of the main event for long sas KING KONG BUNDY stormed from the crowd into the ring and attacked Jacobs and he and Candido beat him down with Tammy Lynn Stych looking on in glee as fans started throwing trash into the ring as the show ended."

Night Two
Crunchy's Bar
East Lansing, Michigan
June 20th 2009

REDD DOG (w/ Jazz in his corner) vs. BRENT ALBRIGHT
"A hard hitting affair to say the least, these two slugged it out with some intense power moves with noone taking full control, until Allysin Kay showed up at ringside to confront Jazz, the two had a very heated exchange and a fight broke out between them, Redd Dog came out to break up the melee when Albright smashed him into the steel post got him back into the ring and connected flush with his 6-1 knee knocking out Redd and getting the victory!" *After the match Kay got in the ring and stood over Redd Dog and mocked him, just like he did to her 24 hours ago*

6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH

ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS & ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL vs. CODE RED (Red Bastien & Billy Red Lyons) & CHRIS HERO

"All out chaos as Animal and the RNR were out to prove that their losses were flukes just over 24 hours ago, Hero really wasn't keen on having to team up with Code Red but he made it work and thanks to a low blow and a roll up to Animal while holding onto the rope for leverage unseen by the official he got the victory for his team."
*After the match Code Red went to Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson saying they do not want to win like that, Morton and Gibson said nothing and left the ring, and as Hero was mocking the crowd when he was heading to the back...PAUL ELLERING came out in the isle way to shock Hero! Animal recovered and went after Chris who got away through the crowd....Animal and Ellering embraced to the roar of the crowd.*

4 WAY DANCE
THE SANDMAN vs. DEL WILKES vs. JIM DUGGAN vs. ANGELO MOSCA
"This match really came down to Mosca and Wilkes because The Sandman and Jim Duggan brawled with each other all over the bar the fans and into the parking lot! Mosca meanwhile thought he had the match won after launching Wilkes across the ring via a football tackle, then applying his SLEEPER finisher and as the official was dropping Wilkes arm for a third time it fell on the rope...the official then called for the break! Mosca released the hold and was furious at the official! This gave Wilkes enough time to recover roll up Mosca for an apparent three count and victory despit Angelo having his hand on the bottom rope unseen by the official!"

JIMMY JACOBS vs. KING KONG BUNDY (Chris Candido & Tammy Stych in his corner)
Jacoba a Michigan native had the crowd on his side, but came into this match not at 100 percent with taped up ribs do to the attack by Bundy 24 hours ago, but Jacobs gave everything he had and then some. Bundy got busted open early in the match thanks to his head meeting the steel post! Candido did get involved but Jacobs fought him off but that is what King Kong Bundy needed as he took that distraction and crushed Jacobs once again with his AVALANCHE Finisher not once, not twice, but three times before pinning Jacobs for a 5 count! *After the match Jacobs despite coughing up blood still wanted to fight! He grabbed the microphone and told Bundy Candido and Stych with a sick bloody smile that this is NOT OVER, that the END is near for all of you! With that Jimmy fell back down laughing laying on the blood-stained mat as the show ends*

JAZZ & REDD DOGG vs. ALLYSIN KAY & SABU

"A wild way to begin the show as Allysin introduced the fellow Michigan native to a loud pop from the crowd and immediately it was Redd Dogg who caught Sabu jumping into the ring and launching him through a table to the concrete floor! Jazz and Kay went at each other to a virtual stale mate as they would not separate from one another. Redd Dogg would continue to dominate Sabu as he delivered a spine buster onto a piece of the metal guard rail that got thrown in the ring!

The official had every right to throw this match out at any time but let the rules bend to get a definitive winner which we ended up getting after Allysin hit a cutter out of nowhere on Redd Dogg but got caught by Jazz who looked as though knocked Kay out with a vicious knee strike to the face followed up with her B*tch clamp submission as Redd Dogg dove over the ropes to crash into Sabu who was attempting to make it back in the ring...Kay was out and the official called for the bell"

QUALIFYING MATCH

CHRIS HERO vs. ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL (w/ Paul Ellering in his corner)

"These two went at it to the nail again and with his long time manager cheering him on Animal really had control of the match BUT in saying that the young Chris Hero would continue to hang on despite several close calls of defeat including kicking out of a picture perfect POWERSLAM that everyone in the building thought was the end .....until LARRY SWEENEY came down to ringside to the shock of many! Sweeney went face to face with Ellering and as Animal got distracted by this....2 consecutive HERO'S WELCOME Finishers gave the young knockout kid the victory which qualified him as the first entrant into the BATTLE FOR TRADITION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT!"

10 MAN OVER THE TOP ROPE 10,000 DOLLAR BATTLE ROYAL
ORDER OF ELIMINATION

1. & 2. The Sandman AND Jim Duggan eliminated each other (They continued to brawl all throughout the bar and in the parking lot after they eliminated each other)

5. Ricky Morton ELIMINATED BY: Billy Red Lyons
6. Del Wilkes ELIMINATED BY: Angelo Mosca

WINNER:
STEVE CORINO
(The mystery entrant gets the win and the money as he and Albright just hammered one another but it was a forearm to the face of a charging Albright that finally was enough for the King of Old School to get him over the top rope for the victory!)

TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH
JIMMY JACOBS & BRODIE LEE vs. CHRIS CANDIDO & KING KONG BUNDY (w/ Tammy Stych in their corner)

"It was announced to both teams in the ring that both have been entered into the BOUND BY TRADITION TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT which will take place at the Night of Tag Team 2-night event in August! Right now, however the opportunity for championship gold was put on hold because this was personal. This match went just over 20 minutes and it was to close to call with several near falls. The tide really turned when Brodie smashed Bundy head first into the steel post and proceed to chop block Bundy in the right knee which took the big man out of the match as medical came down to tend to him as Tammy tried to continue to cheer her man on.

At this point it was just a matter of time as Jacobs hit Candido with a knee strike coming off the ropes which led to a massive, big boot and pin by Lee for the hard-fought victory to end the show."

The show begins with a stirring rendition of America the Beautiful...

8-PERSON TAG TEAM MATCH
CHRIS CANDIDO & ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL & BRENT ALBRIGHT & ALLYSIN KAY vs. JIMMY JACOBS & BRODIE LEE & STEVE CORINO & JAZZ

"We had two referees assigned this match, one inside and another for outside of the ring, and it still seemed at times during this match it was enough. Action outside the ring and inside, which included a slobber knocker of an exchange between Albright and Corino.

Jazz hit a suicide dive to the floor on Kay! Brodie and Animal went at each other to the nail and Candido was looking for some revenge for his injured tag team partner King Kong Bundy and after hitting his BLONDE BOMB Finisher he thought he had the win but Jacobs escaped just before the three count! Kay went toe to toe with Brodie to the delight of the fans until Jazz from behind tossed her out of the ring! The two once again brawled outside of the ring...Redd Dogg would come to ringside looking to possibly interfere! HOWEVER, Sabu would not only show up but take him down and stop him as a wild brawl erupted between those two!

Back in the ring thanks to a vicious 6-1 knee strike to the back of the head to Jimmy Jacobs, Brent Albright gets the 3 count and victory for his team!"

BATTLE FOR TRADITION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
QUALIFYING MATCH

ANGELO MOSCA vs. DEL WILKES

"As you can imagine, loud on going USA USA USA chants from the crowd this entire match and early on you can tell Wilkes fed off of it, with some heavy sustained offense, which included a standing dropkick right in the face of the Canadian that rocked him to start the match! A couple of forearm smashes got Mosca down to one knee BUT as the masked American came off the ropes the mood changed as Mosca connected with huge football tackle turning Wilkes inside out!

Mosca smirked to the crowd as he applied his SLEEPER HOLD Finisher right in the center of the ring! Wilkes would fight and scratch and claw to the encouragement to the crowd as he was inches away from a rope break but Mosca would take his opponent down to the map wrapping his legs around Dell with the sleeper still attached as the referee would drop the arm three times calling for the bell and giving Angelo not only the win but a spot along with Chris Hero in the BATTLE FOR TRADITION CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT to the displeasure of the crowd"

ROB VAN DAM & SABU vs. ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS

"A great match that lived up to the dream match billing, Ricky Morton and Rob Van Dam had a tremendous exchange of kicks and strikes, Robert Gibson actually held his own against the brawling style of Sabu and it looked as though this match would go the full 20-minute time limit.....UNTIL Redd Dogg and Jazz made an appearance in the isle way!

This ultimately distracted Sabu and when he finally turned around he got a DOUBLE DROPKICK Finisher square in the face to give the victory to the RNR Express"

GOOD 'OL FASHIONED BAR ROOM BRAWL
THE SANDMAN vs. JIM DUGGAN
"Fist flying beer drinking good old Americana in this match, we even got to see Duggan bring his trusty 4x4 to the ring to combat the Sandman's Singapore cane which was truly a dual of epic proportions, the two would of course brawl in the crowd and would eventually make it out to the parking lot where Duggan would powerslam Sandman onto the hood of a car! The two would battle in the back of a pickup and end up in the back set duking it out of a taxi who would stop just to drop someone off at the bar!

In the end the Sandman would get the hard-fought win thanks to a hardcore DDT on top of the bar. It should be noted that after the three count, Duggan would recover, and the two adversaries would sit at the bar and have several beers with each other to the cheers of the crowd to end the show."

BOUND BY TRADITION TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

FIRST ROUND RESULTS:

KINGS OF WRESTLING (Claudio Castagnoli & Chris Hero w/ Larry Sweeney in their corner) vs. BLOOD, SWEAT & BEERS (Jim Duggan & The Sandman)

"Wild match to begin the tournament that saw action in and out of the ring! Claudio made his Tradition debut in a big way thanks to a ton of offense and several near falls on his opponents to advance, but the fortunes of the Kings changed as soon as The Sandman connected with his Singapore Cane to Larry Sweeney who tried to interfere in the match!

The distracted Chris Hero took a massive football tackle by Jim Duggan for the newly formed team by booze getting the win to advance!"

CODE RED (Red Bastien & Billy Red Lyons) vs. ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS

"Handshakes all around to begin this match, and what a competitive, clean contest that saw both teams have excellent chances to put the other away in this 15-minute plus contest! It was the DOUBLE DROPKICK Finsher that caught Bastien to have Ricky and Robert advance to the next round."

ROB VAN DAM & SABU vs. BRODIE LEE & JIMMY JACOBS

"Of the 200 plus in attendance many called this the match of the first round as it went for over 20 minutes! RVD launched himself off the top rope crashing into Jimmy Jacobs who was in the first row of fans! In the ring, Lee Brodie bombed Sabu through a stack of set up chairs that the extreme icon set up earlier in the match to get the hard fought 3 count to advance!"

ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL & PAUL ELLERING vs. CHRIS CANDIDO & KING KONG BUNDY (w/ Tammy Lynn Stych in their corner)
"The last match in the opening round was a slugfest! Give credit to Paul Ellering who more than held his own in this match despite Tammy distracting the official on more than one occasion to stop any type of 3 count against her team. LARRY SWEENEY however would interject himself in the match as well and Paul Ellering would pay as Bundy would hit his AVALANCE Finisher while Ellering was distracted and would get the 5 count to add inslult to injury as Candido and Bundy advance in the Tournament."

Stay tuned for results of Night 2 of Night of the Tag Teams as the very first Bound by Tradition Champions will be crowned!

SEMI FINAL RESULTS:

BLOOD SWEAT & BEER (Jim Duggan & The Sandman) vs. ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS

"A pre match toast and drink of beer in the ultimate show of respect by Sandman and Duggan who had control early thanks to the power and brawling style but in the end the DOUBLE DROPKICK Finisher for Ricky & Robert proved to be the equalizer on Duggan giving the Express a trip to the finals!"

CHRIS CANDIDO & KING KONG BUNDY (w/ Tammy Stych in their corner) vs. JIMMY JACOBS & BRODIE LEE

"Not the sportsmanship we saw in the beginning of the match like we saw in the earlier contest, all out brawling in which we saw blood spilled by bot Candido and Jacobs, Bundy thought he had the match won after his AVALANCE Finisher on Jacobs BUT Brodie launched Candido out of the ring and made the last second pin save! The two big men went at it once again, this time in the center of the ring where Brodie connected with a superkick and an amazing half nelson suplex dropping Bundy on the back of his head for the three count and a ticket to the finals!"

BOUND BY TRADITION TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

FINAL

ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS vs. BRODIE LEE & JIMMY JACOBS
"The crowd firmly behind Ricky & Robert as the Bound by Tradition Tag Team Championships were shown to both teams before the opening bell. R&R had the early advantage thanks to their quickness and years of experience as a team but the pure power of Brodie Lee swung the scales as Jacobs directed Lee to blavk hole slam Gibson on the hard wooden floor of the bar! The Michigan native went at it with Morton, the two tore the house down as Morton was inches away from winning the titles after connecting with a top rope bulldog on a bloody Jacobs! Jimmy would just get his finger on the bottom rope before the three count came down!

Lee would toss Gibson into the front row of the fans and come into the ring and throw Morton into the ring post and as he bounced back the BIG BOOT Finisher of Lee found its mark for the three count as our very first BOUND BY TRADITION Tag Team Champions were crowned to end the show."
