SOCAL VAL

"Hello everyone, I am thrilled to be back here on the Filsinger Boards talking about something near & dear to my heart. From 2009-2014 I had the pleasure to be a part of a wrestling promotion not only in front of the camera but behind it as well, thanks to music icon and pro wrestling promoter, Robbie Ice (I wonder what happened to that guy) Tradition was first part of a small group of promoters and their promotions Marc Kanter, Gabe, Dave Little, Keith Simmons, Jerod Rickert blossomed to some of the best territory wrestling on all the internet.

Since the end in 2014, Tradition has tried to come back many of times on this platform and it just hasn't clicked for many reasons. I am here to relive some of the promotions great history with one of the main stays and pillars.....

CHRIS HERO

"Val it's great to see you again, been too long, it's really been a history with Tradition and myself over the years. Some of the best battles I have ever had in my career happened regularly in East Lansing, Michigan for sure. Battles with the very first Tradition champion TEKESHI MORISHIMA, to the epic tag team street fight with myself and longtime partner CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI against at the time HEARTLAND'S Dudley Boys. So many great moments and as the promotions 15th anniversary approaches, on June 22nd its cool to look back for a minute.

COLBY CORINO

"Sorry to jump in here Val, but I got to say Chris knowing all the bullshit you put my father through in that ring and behind the scenes at Tradition, for you to sit out here and not even mention him as part of your history here, you just can't help but continue to disrespect my family. Before you get all up in my face, I can't say I am surprised, once a low life piece of shit always a low life piece of shit!"

Hero got up and punched Corino in the face! as Val called for security Corino was held back by ALLISON DANGER & CW ANDERSON along with some security, Corino was screaming at Chris as he was taken away. Hero asked Val what the hell was that, and asked her if she knew he was here, Val admitted that she did know and she was going to interview him about his dad's history with Tradition.

Hero upset just ripped off his microphone and told Val that this interview is OVER and left the set, as we fade to black..the director and cameraman came over to Val to make sure she was ok

Stay tuned more to come from Pro Wrestling TRADITION

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so happy to be back with you for this historic news, I can now confirm and announce that Tradition's 15th Anniversary Show has been approved and will take place at Crunchy's Bar in East Lansing on Saturday June 22nd 2024!

I can also confirm the first official match of the card, from our good friends at FRONTIER WRESTLING...it is a Triple Threat #1 Contenders Match (Winner will get a shot at the Frontier Heavyweight Championship at a later date!) JAKE SOMETHING vs. MADMAN FULTON vs. KEITH LEE.

Again, thank you to Gabe and everyone over at Frontier Wrestling to have such an important match for their promotion to be fought in a Tradition ring on June 22nd.


I have also been given this news, that COLBY CORINO has once again had an altercation with CHRIS HERO who is out in Colorado as he is an agent for AEW as they prepare for DYNAMITE this Wednesday! I have been told that security once again had to get involved and Corino after attacking Hero in the parking lot has been taken off the property by local authorities.

Hero, I have been told has been pretty banged up by the attack, we will have hopefully more information on this soon, but again Tradition returns for their 15th Anniversary Show on June 22nd, 2024. Stay tuned for more updates and exciting match announcements over the next week."

SOCAL VAL

"Good Monday afternoon everyone, we have some tremendous news coming out of the TRADITION offices to start the week. I can confirm that highlighting other promotions is a huge piece moving forward and into Tradition's 15th Anniversary Show on June 22nd. The latest example of that is Jerod Rickett's PACIFIC NORTHWEST WRESTLING Promotion as Ole & Gene Anderson will defend the PNW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS against The Leducs in a TRADITION ring on June 22nd!


In more tag team news, I can confirm also that former multi- time Tradition Tag Team Champions, Rob Van Dam & Sabu will face the team of Trey Miguel & Myron Reed in a match between past vs present! I also can confirm that we will hear from Chris Hero this evening for the first time since he got attacked recently at AEW Dynamite event by Colby Corino!

FACE 2 FACE
w/ SOCAL VAL

"Wrestling fans young and old, thank you for joining me here for what I thought would be a very special interview with CHRIS HERO, however as of this moment I am being joined by COLBY CORINO w/ Allison Danger and C.W. Anderson. Welcome to the three of you although I must say this was very unexpected.


CORINO:
"Val, once we heard you had an exclusive sit down, with everybody's HERO that young Knock Out Kid, Kassius Ohno, I mean why wouldn't I be here. Do you really think I was going to sit back and let him continue to talk lies about the Corino name? What happened in Colorado before AEW Dynamite he had coming and that was just the beginning.....no one disrespects the Corino name you understand?

Val you of all people know what that piece of shit tried to do to my father under the Tradition banner for so many of its years and----

SUDDENLY HERO WALKS IN AND SEE'S THE INTRUDERS, HE KEEPS HIS COOL, SMIRKS AND ACTUALLY TAKES A SEAT. TAKES OFF HIS SUNGLASSES AS HIS LEFT EYE IS SEVERLY SWOLLEN.

HERO:
"Val I am beginning to think you are up to your old tricks again, like you did back in the early days of Tradition against my boy Claudio Castagnoli, this is the second time in a row now that Corino has shown up on what was supposed to MY time isn't that right? Actually, I am glad you are here Colby unlike your father who is hiding behind a suit and tie, whom would ever have thought that the KING OF OLDSCHOOL would become a cooperate BITCH!"

I hate to break it to you kid and to you Allison and to you CW but the Corino name was garbage way before I came along and kicked Steve's ass till he couldn't take it anymore, but you want to restore the Corino name which is an impossible task but hey high marks for trying BUT what you did in Colorado now you made this personal between you and me

So here as the deal as you stand there staring at me, I got no problem beating the hell out of another generation of Corino so one June 22nd how about you and C.W Anderson & Allison Danger step into the ring against me and my partners in a 6-person tag team match!"

CORINO GOES FACE TO FACE WITH HERO AND PROMISES HE WILL FINISH WHAT HE STARTED IN COLORADO, VAL ASKS FOR SECURITY TO COME IN AND ESCOURT EVERYONE OFF SET

The show begins with SOCAL VAL and TRACI BROOKS along with fellow promoters and longtime supporters of Tradition, Jerod, Marc, Dave, Gabe, DB, Keith all having a good time in the V.I.P section of the bar.

10,000 DALLOR OVER THE TOP ROPE INVITATIONAL BATTLE ROYAL
OFFICIAL RESULTS

1. Frankie Kazarian (Eliminated by Erick Stevens. Traci Brooks was shocked at the result of her husband Kaz was out so quickly, Stevens actually flipped her off after he eliminated Kaz. Traci stormed from the bar and went down to ringside and

tried to get up on the apron to confront Erick who continued to verbally assault her, until finally Val was able to have her help Kaz to the back>)

2 & 3. Sami Callihan & Jeff Cobb eliminated each other (They continued to fight all throughout the bar for the majority of the match until finally security was able to finally separate the two)
4. Trent Seven (Eliminated by Willie Mack)
5. James Drake (Eliminated by Davey Boy Smith Jr.)
6. Willie Mack (Eliminated by Davey Boy Smith Jr.)
7. Rhino (Eliminated by Ross Von Eric. Fans were a little upset when Michigan native Rhino was thrown out)

9. Davey Boy Smith Jr. (Eliminated by Ross Von Eric)

WINNER

ROSS VON ERIC
In a cool moment Ross continued to celebrate his victory with his brother Marshall who is currently the Frontier Wrestling Heavyweight Champion who was sitting in the front row. Davey Boy Smith Jr. recovered outside of the ring and got in the face of Ross a bit, Von Eric extended his hand in a show of respect, Davey after a moment reluctantly accepted before heady to the back.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST WRESTLING TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
(C) The Andersons (Ole & Gene) DEFEATED The LeDucs
"Old school smash mouth tag team brutality in this title fight, just like these two teams like it, the Andersons once again get the best of their counterparts via the spike piledriver on Paul LeDuc to retain BUT Ole was severly busted open over his right eye and had to seek medical attention right after the match."

SHOWCASE MATCH
Timothy Thatcher DEFEATED Dan "The Beast" Severn
"A 25 minute plus wrestling clinic, great chain and mat wrestling with some stiff strikes but to everyone's shock it was a small package roll up that got Thatcher the victory! Timothy celebrated in the ring after beating the combat sports legend from Michigan to a Corus of boo's from the crowd as Seven sat in the corner with a look of shock in his face."

MLW FATAL FOUR WAY MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Bryan Keith DEFEATED Ninja Mack, Tre Lamar & Michael Oku
"History was made as "The Bounty Hunter" was able to out last everyone in this high paced hard hitting title fight by connecting with his EMERALD TIGER DRIVER Finisher on Michael Oku. On a side note Tre and Ninja Mack had one of the craziest exchanges during the match which led to Mack taking Lamar out via the Mack book."

6 PERSON GRUDGE MATCH
Chris Hero & Matt Sydal & Sara Del Rey DEFEATED Colby Corino & C.W. Anderson & Allison Danger

"A wild, bloody brawl that most certainly lived up to the hype leading up to the match. A lot of credit goes to the official in this match for letting a lot go without disqualifying or counting anyone out knowing the importance of having a winner declared.

Everyone needed assistance to the back after this match which saw Matt Sydal get the victory over C.W. Anderson via his breathtaking SHOOTING SYDAL PRESS Finisher! Corino still wanted to fight Hero after the match, despite blood pouring down his face! EMT's forced him to go to the back. Chris took the microphone after the match, and after a few heavy breaths he collected his thought's and told everyone that this team win tonight was for LARRY SWEENEY!, which the crowd responded with a huge cheer. Hero continued by saying that SWEET & SOUR INC will never be forgotten here in Tradition! Hero then embraced Sara & Matt in an emotional moment in the middle of the ring as we head to an intermission...."

STAY TUNED TO THE SECOND HALF OF THE SHOW SHORTYLY....

[db1091]

Great battle royal win for Ross von Erich! Thatcher vs Severn sounded great. Hero, Sydal and Del Rey with an excellent win, 12 Large brother!

15TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW
Crunchy's Bar
East Lansing, Michigan
June 22nd, 2024

CONTINUES...

BRITISH TAG LEAGUE MATCH: GROUP B

Subculture DEFEATED Boisterous Behavior

"Both teams have several near falls, and the match feels like it could go either way right up to the finish. Mark Andrews picks up the win for Subculture when he lands a picture-perfect shooting star press on Man Like DeReiss. After the match, the crowd of about 300 people gave both teams a standing ovation."

TAG TEAM SHOWCASE MATCH
Trey Miguel & Myron Reed DEFEATED Rob Van Dam & Sabu
"The fans could barely catch their breath from the British Tag League match when these two teams just blew the roof off Crunchy's Bar. The former multi-time Tradition Tag Team Champions and ECW legends showed that they still indeed got it as this match nearly went 30 minutes of near falls, inside the ring and outside of the ring action, blood was indeed spilled but in the end it was Myron Reed who would get the victory for his team thanks to a spring board cutter on Sabu through a table to the wooden floor, putting him back in the ring for the cover and victory. After the match both teams got to their feet and Trey offered them some smoke! RVD excepted right away, Sabu was furious pacing back and forth but eventually accepted."

FRONTEIR WRESTLING TRIPLE THREAT NUMBER ONE CONTENDER'S MATCH
Keith Lee DEFEATED Madman Fulton & Jake Something
"Let's just have us a good old fashioned Hoss fight at the highest level, shall we? That is exactly what we got. All three of these men just beat the hell out of each other with so many stiff shots, we all lost count. There were some shenanigans that people will look at in this match and say it could have ended different. The moment in question was when Jay Bradley & Wrecking Ball Legursky came storming from the crowd and would end up attacking Jake Something to the point of handcuffing him to the rope and ramming his head into the steel post 3 times!

Bradley would then throw the key into the crowd and the Fixxers would leave the building as security and staff would come down to check on Something who most certainly was busted open. Meanwhile in the ring Lee and Fulton continued to battle each other until Lee got Fulton down (Finally) and get the victory via his Doomsault!"

MAIN EVENT:
BELIEVE IN TRADITION GAUNTLET MATCH

Socal Val comes down to ringside with the beautiful title in hand and sits in the front row as the match begins.

Angelina Love and Ivelisse begin the gauntlet. Angelina gets a warm welcome back to Tradition but she is not 100% do to getting put through a table by former friend the Frontier Women's Champion Velvet Sky during Memorial Cup Night 3. Ivelisse takes full advantage and puts away Love via a flaming arrow.

Neveah is next and she thought she got Ivelisse after about a 10 minutes slugfest between the two when she connected with her backpack stunner but Ivelisse kicked out right before the three, which Neveah disagreed with along with the crowd, Ivelisse would again take advantage and connect this time with her vertigo kick to get the victory.

Tootie Lynn came in a house of fire. The little blue dragon would have the fans on their feet but a missed dropkick off the top rope would spell the end for the young upstart as she got taken out by the Desert Eagle Finisher.

The fabs erupted as Jazz would come to the ring! The legend would beat the hell out of Evelisse who to her credit would take it and fight back but Jazz would put an end to Ivelisse and her run thanks to a nasty Fishermans buster!

Alysin Kay the Michigan native would be announced next as the crowd roared in approval and it was a hell of a fight between her and Jazz, back and forth they went for about 12 minutes or so when Kay connected with a big boot which led right into her cutthroat for the victory.

Keira Hogan came storming out of the gates and had Kay off balance with quick strikes and high risk offense, she got Alysin with a dropkick off the top rope that sent Kay out of the ring. The two would fight outside the ring. this would benefit Kay as she would get Hogan down and giant swing her into the steel post! Kay would then roll Hogan back in the ring for the three count!

Big Swole would go face to face with Kay and the two just started throwing hay makers at one another until Swole connecting with a nasty headbutt which looked to knock Kay out on her feet, Swole then would apply her Texas Cloverleaf and the ref quickly called for the bell, Kay was helped to the back.

Leyla Hirsch came out and quickly tried to take Big Swole off her feet and to the mat, which she accomplished, and she would get her Cross Armbreaker submission in! Swole would struggle her way to the ropes for a break and once they got back to their feet, Swole faked out Leyla going for a head but but instead connected with a flatliner for the victory.

Sumie Sakai is the last to enter the gauntlet, and she too went right at Swole but with quick strikes to the body and face. She got Big Swole finally down and connected with a beatiful moonsualt for a near fall. Swole would continue to withstand the offensive attack and fight back with a nasty big boot to the face knocking Sumie violently out of the ring. Swole would attempt a suicide dive that Sakai would move out of the way from that landed Swole face first into the guard rail! Sumie would quickly take advantage as she would get her opponent in the ring and deliver a Saito Suplex for the victory!

The celebration begins as SoCal Val would come into the ring and present Sumi with the championship as confetti came down from the ceiling of the bar and fans littered the ring with streamers to show respect to the BELIVE IN TRADITION Champion Sumi Sakai to end the show!"

-End

I just would like to take a moment to every promoter that contributed to this event and sent in matches from their promotions, it is one of the main reasons I still roll the dice is because of the community of people that have the same passion for pro wrestling so thank you my friends.
