February 15th 2010

DREW GULAK defeated MATT CROSS

"In an outstanding opening contest, these two with contrasting styles went at it. Cross would have the early advantage keeping Gulak off balance and NEARLY getting the win after connecting with a beautiful shooting star press! Gulak was able to escape the near fall and quicky adjust his game plan with succession with a picture perfect Northern Lights Suolex transitioning into the spine spitter then into his UNIVERSITY STRETCH Finisher right in the middle of the ring for the tap out victory!"

#1 TAG TEAM CONTENDERS MATCH
TYSON DUX & JOSH ALEXANDER defeated CHRIS CANDIDO & KING KONG BUNDY ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL & PAUL ELLERING BLOOD, SWEAT & BEERS

"The newly formed Canadian duo with stood a barrage as every team in this match had multiple chances to get the victory but it was Dux who took out Paul Ellering with a vicious lariat followed up by Alexander connecting with his TWISTING TOMBSTONE Finisher to get the victory as the other teams along with Ellerings partner Animal were brawling on the outside of the ring!..Dux and Alexander are now the number 1 contenders for the Bound by Tradition Tag Team Championships and will challenge for the titles in June at Tradition's One Year Anniversary Show!"

REDD DOGG (w/ Jazz in his corner) defeated DEL WILKES
"The Dogg was looking for revenge as he blamed the masked man for his loss in the opening round of the Battle for Tradition Championship Tournament thanks to his interference and Redd with Jazz looking on did not want to stand for Wilkes trying to explain himself to begin the match, instead Dogg wasted no time taking care of business catching with a spine buster, followed up by an double underhook powerbomb for the quick 3 count! Dogg tossed Wilkes out of the ring to the cheers of the crowd and as Del was making his way to the back you could actually hear the masked man wearing the red white and blue get booed."

BATTLE FOR TRADITION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
(C) EDDIE KINGSTON vs. HOMICIDE

"Best friends together growing up in the streets of New York, Kingston promised Homicide an opportunity if he became champion and he delivers! Both men embrace as the bell sounds to begin the match to a standing ovation from the crowd, bllod was shed by both men as they went to war with one another for close to 20 minutes! Everyone in the building thought the match was over when Homicide finally connected with DA' GRINGO KILLAH Finisher but somehow Kingston was able to kick out right before the three count!

Homicide took out a fork and looked as though he was going to carve it right into the bloody face of Kingston but he hesitated for a moment despite the champion screaming for him to do it! Kingston called him a son of a bitch and got to his feet and connect out of nowhere for the second time in the match his BACKFIST TO THE FUTURE Finisher to get the three count and retain the championship!"

*After the match, Kingston helped his friend to his feet and the two embraced again only to be ATTACKED from behind by STEVE CORINO & C.W. ANDERSON! Anderson hit the back of the knee of the champion with a night stick and handcuffed him to the bottom rope and hit him violently in the head as Corino told the champ to look as he smashed Homicide in the face with a chair and took the fork and dug into the LAX member's head over and over this went on for a few more moments until finally security came storming to the ring...Corino screamed at Kingston from the crowd that he was coming for that title to end the show*

The fans await the beginning of the card which had no announcements on who would be at the event....

LEGENDS TAG TEAM DREAM MATCH
THE ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS vs. BRITISH BULLDOGS

"The crowd of about 280 go berserk as these two teams stand face to face with one another in the center of the ring! First off because Ricky and Robert were not expected to be back till June's Anniversary show because of injury and to have the Bulldogs as part of this event WILD!

"As you can pretty much imagine a classic back and fourth match with a hell of an exchange between Morton and Dynamite Kid that saw it spill to the outside! Davey Boy thought he had the match won after connecting with his running powerslam on Robert BUT Ricky made the save and the R&R used their double teaming skills to a tee and hit Dynamite as he came off the 2nd rope with their DOUBLE DROPKICK Finisher for the hard fought victory to a standing ovation from the fans and staff.

After the match, the teams shook hands in a great show of sportsmanship BUT Dynamite held on to Morton as he went to walk away and the two had words before eventually, they each went their separate ways."

DREW GULAK vs. CHRIS SABIN

"Young stars in the independent scene in the year 2010 once again highlighted in a Tradition ring as the Michigan native Sabin got a huge pop when introduced, and these two went at it fast and furiously with some outstanding chain wrestling and reversals on each other, everyone in the building thought the match was over when Sabin hit his CRADLESHOCK Finisher but Gulak escaped! The two continued with punishing high risk offense until Gulak hit a spine spitter for the victory"

BOUND BY TRADITION TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
(C) BRODIE LEE & JIMMY JACOBS vs. JON MOXLEY & SAMI CALIHAN
"A true holy sh*t moment in Tradition's young history and these two teams went to war blood shed a plenty as all four men would wear some sort of crimson mask before this match was done, also give credit to the official in this match as he let a lot go to have a decisive winner. Thanks to Jimmy Jacobs who was covered in blood passing out in Sami's Stretch Muffler we indeed have seen history made as new BOUND BY TRADITION champions were crowned!

After the match as Brodie Lee was helping up Jacobs the Rock & Roll Express stormed into the ring to get some revenge on the team that put them out of action officials and staff from the back stormed into the ring to separate the teams!"

BATTLE FOR TRADITION 4-WAY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
(C) EDDIE KINGSTON vs. STEVE CORINO vs. DAN SEVERN vs. JACK BRISCO

"WOW! What more can you say about this when you see it in a wrestling ring, and you got everything you would ever want...straight out brawling, blood, technical, MMA all of it was showcased in this 25 minute plus match The champion and Corino knocked the sh*t out of each other and Severn and Brisco had several masterful technical exchanges and Severn and Jack showed they could brawl as well with the Champion and Corino. In the end the champion escaped. and I do mean escaped as he connected which a lot of people in attendance would deem a low blow from behind on Jack Brisco to get the roll up victory as he grabbed the title right after the three count and ran through the crowd and out of the building to end the show!"

JON MOXLEY defeated TYSON DUX

"Do not think if you are reading this, despite the loss that Dux did not put up a hell of a fight to Mox who actually after the grueling 15 plus minute match extended his hand to Tyson in a great show of respect. That is because Dux had Mox tied up in knots for most of the contest but one missed running uppercut into the corner spelled the end for the Canadien grappler, as Jon would take over after that mis step and xonnext with a nasty DDT for the hard fought victory!"

JAZZ OPEN CHALLENGE

"She comes out bad mouthing Tradition about not having any competition for her and the company but all their hopes on their hometown girl Allysin Kay, which lasted about 2 seconds because Jazz beat her and she has never been seen here since! When suddenly Neveah storms into the ring and takes it to Jazz!!!!

These two fight in and out of the ring and the fans are into every minute of it, it looked as though the Ohio native was gonna get the best of Jazz after her back pack stunner! When suddenly REDD DOGG stormed from the back to throw Neveah off of his wife which brought out JAKE CRIST who brawled with Redd Dogg as Jazz was trying to get to the back Neveah recovered and took her down as everyone brawled to the back!"

JOSH ALEXANDER defeated SAMI CALIHAN
"A true back and fourth Hoss fight, a busted lip for Alexander and a busted nose for Sami, this thing went all over a lot of credit to the official for letting things go to get a winner which everyone thought would be Sami after the stretch muffler was applied for the second time in this match BUT Josh would fight out of it and finally connect with a jumping piledriver landing Sami right on the top of his head for the three count! After the match Jimmy Jacobs and Brodie Lee would attack everyone in the ring!

Soon after Moxley and Dux would join the brawl as well as the Rock & Roll Express, total mayhem! The locker room emptied to finally separate the teams and it was announced that these teams would all compete in a elimination match with the last team standing the BOUND BY TRADITION TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! This will happen at Traditions 1st Anniversary Show on June 22nd!"

EDDIE KINGSTON & HOMOCIDE defeated STEVE CORINO & C.W. ANDERSON
"The BATTLE FOR TRADITION Champion and Steve Corino absolutely destroyed one another both men made the other bleed and Homicide and Anderson were just brawling one another! Kingston not only hit his BACKFIST TO THE FUTURE once, twice, three times BUT five times as the official stopped the match because the bloody Corino was slumped in the corner unresponsive! Anderson gave Homocide a spinebuster on top of the bar onto a a row of pint glasses!

BUT everyone went silent as Corino was slowly taken out of the arena by a stretcher, Kingston grabbed the microphone, HEY FOR YOU PEOPLE BOOING ME FOR WHAT JUST HAPPENED, THIS AINT BALET AND YOU CAN GO PISS OFF. I AM THE MAD KING WITH THE TITLE FOR A REASON! ALL YOU BOYS IN THE BACK THINK YOU GOT A TARGET ON ME??? HA!!! I GOT ONE SCOPE AIMED AT ALL OF YOU! AND JUST LIKE I DID TO CORINO TONIGHT I AM GONNA PICK YOU OFF ONE BY ONE!

HEY BRISCO, TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT WHAT I DID TONIGHT BECAUSE ON JUNE 22ND I AM SENDING YOU HOME IN A BODY BAG PARTNER!"
