Heartland Championship Wrestling: Patriot Championship Wrestling
February 22, 2023 (Card #1196)
Baltimore Arena, Baltimore, Maryland
The show opens with the tune, "A Girl Like That" by Eleventh Hour playing overhead. TORRIE WILSON & EPICDAVE stride down the aisle, accompanied by bodyguards. EpicDave greets the fans along the ramp, and even Torrie flashes a smile and interacts with a few of the patrons, under the close eye of her security team before they enter the ring.Torrie: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the finest production of professional wrestling you will ever witness, brought to you by
Patriot Championship Wrestling. It is a privilege to be here in Baltimore tonight for a show of historic proportions.
EpicDave: Wow- Miss Torrie- I gotta say, you are in an above-average mood tonight.
Torrie: I have finally gotten rid of that rotten scumbag.
EpicDave: ALEX RODRIGUEZ? Isn't that kind of harsh?
Torrie: No, I finally got rid of
ASHLEY THE PERSONAL ASSISTANT. She ran off with
JASON VARITEK- so no more endless phone calls and e-mails from her admirers. But enough about that- what's on the show tonight?
EpicDave: Fans, it is always great to be here as a representative of
Heartland Championship Wrestling. And indeed, we have a superb Wednesday night of action planned, including TWO title matches! We will see
SGT. SLAUGHTER defend the
North American Heavyweight Championship against
KILLER KOWALSKI, and in our Main Event, we will present a rematch for the
Patriot Tag Team Championship with
DEMOLITION defending against the former champions,
THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS. It's going to be a stellar night of action here in B'More, fans- so relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show!
EDDIE GILBERT* pinned SWEET DADDY SIKI*** with the Hot Shot'RAVISHING' RICK RUDE** pinned PEPPER GOMEZ***** after a swinging neckbreakerTHE FANTASTICS (TOMMY ROGERS* & BOBBY FULTON*) defeated THE POWERS OF PAIN (WARLORD**** & BARBARIAN) when Fulton pinned Warlord with the Rocket LauncherGRUDGE MATCH- NO DISQUALIFICATION:
KURT ANGLE* pinned BUDDY ROGERS********* with the Olympic SlamThis grudge match was born from a match between these men one month ago, when Rogers won by countout after dropping Angle crotch-first onto the steel security rail. Angle came to the ring as the aggressor, taking Rogers to the mat and stretching him. Rogers tried to fight back, but Angle dropped Rogers with a pair of Olympic Slams to regain control. Angle went for a moonsault, but Rogers pulled the referee into the path of Angle and a three-way collision took out the referee!
EpicDave: The referee goes down! What is Rogers going to do now?
Rogers retrieved the ring bell and came after Angle, but Angle disarmed Rogers and dumped Rogers face-first onto the ring bell on the arena floor. Rogers went into the crowd, where
JT 2.0 was seated with his wife! Rogers snatched a knitting needle from Mrs. 2.0, but Angle swiped the needle from Rogers and jabbed Rogers in the forehead! The referee finally made it back to his feet, and Angle dumped Rogers with another Olympic Slam to score the pin.
EpicDave: A measure of revenge for Kurt Angle! Even though this match doesn't count toward title contention, Angle is very pleased to even the score with Buddy Rogers. No doubt, these two will cross paths again somewhere down the road. And now, fans- it is time for tonight's championship matches!
NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:
SGT. SLAUGHTER** (c) defeated KILLER KOWALSKI***** by submission with the Cobra ClutchKowalski was not at the top of his game as the result of a concussion suffered at the hands of
IVAN PUTSKI, but the Killer was determined to take his best shot at the North American champion. Slaughter and Kowalski battered each other with mighty blows, until Sarge busted out the Slaughter Cannon which stunned Kowalski.
EDDIE GILBERT came to ringside with a sneak attack in mind, but Putski came out of nowhere and took out Gilbert with a Polish Hammer. This opened the door for Slaughter to clamp on the Cobra Clutch, and within moments, it was lights out for the Killer.
SGT. SLAUGHTER RETAINS THE NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
EpicDave: Slaughter retains after a rugged battle- and even Eddie Gilbert couldn't change the outcome. The Sarge is on a roll- and the next time we see him, he will be battling
TED DIBIASE for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship! Finally- it is time for the Main Event!
MAIN EVENT: PATRIOT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
DEMOLITION (AX* & SMASH) (c) defeated THE FABULOUS KANGAROOS (AL COSTELLO* & ROY HEFFERNAN***) when Ax pinned Heffernan after a devastating double-teamDemolition had their way with the former champions tonight, overpowering both men and delivering double-team beatdowns to punish the Kangaroos. The match quickly devolved into a brutal assault on both Kangaroos, and the outcome was never really in doubt as Ax put Heffernan down for the count.
DEMOLITION RETAINS THE PATRIOT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
EpicDave: Impressive win for
DEMOLITION! Congratulations to your reigning
Patriot Tag Team Champions for a successful title defense here in Baltimore. All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! Heartland will be back on Saturday night with a big night of action from
