NWA Anarchy
Episode 63
May 14, 2007
- Congratulations to Damien Wayne & Phil Brown for making the Heat tapings. Preston Quinn (wrestled once in Wildside) & Pharaoh match was changed and didn't receive a match.
- We begin this week’s episode of NWA Anarchy with a replay of the heinous attack on Patrick Bentley by Seth Delay & Adrian Hawkins. Also, Bill Behrens sanctioned an Anarchy Rules match for Hardcore Hell between the Devil’s Rejects and the NWA Elite.
WRESTLING: (n.) \’res-ling\ A sport of contest in which two individuals face off in unarmed combat.
ANARCHY: (n.) \an-ar-key\ (1) A state of lawlessness due to absence of authority. (2) A complete lack of order.
What happens when you mix the two together? NWA-Anarchy!
- Greg Hunter and John Johnson recap the two matches announced for the 11th Annual Hardcore Hell: Jeremy Vain vs. Slim J vs. NWA Anarchy TV Champion Ace Rockwell vs. NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Chad Parham in a double jeopardy match, and The Devil’s Rejects vs. NWA Elite in an Anarchy Rules match. Neither team can touch or confront each other until Hardcore Hell. If anyone does, Behrens will say “goodbye” to the Weakest Link™. This week Hayden Young & Austin Creed take on NWA Anarchy Tag Team Champions Justice Served with “Mr. Representation” Al Getz, and Slim J vs. Jeremy Vain.
1. Hollywood Brunettes (Kyle Matthews & Andrew Alexander) vs. Derrick Driver & Steven Walters
THE MATCH: The Brunettes are a fun knockoff of the Hollywood Blondes, Steve Austin & Brian Pillman. The Blondes were a great tag team, but were split up after tagging for about 9 months. Driver catches Alexander running to the corner with an odd looking back elbow. Walters wheelbarrows Matthews and he takes Alexander down with a spinning head scissors. The Brunettes take over when Matthews pulls the top rope down and causes Driver to miss it on a springboard attempt. After commercial, Alexander tosses Driver to the floor so that Matthews can chop him. Back in the ring, the Brunettes use a double team slingshot legdrop on Driver for a two count. They use more double team maneuvers to get heat on Driver. Driver fights back with a clothesline on Matthews. Walters receives the hot tag and goes Buck Wild on the Brunettes. Matthews shoves Walters off the top turnbuckle to the floor. They finish off Driver with a top rope double stomp into a chestblower. Beautiful.
WINNERS: The Hollywood Brunettes.
COMMENTS: This was a match that allowed the Brunettes to showcase their teamwork. There was an odd spot early on when Walters back elbowed Matthews, but everything else was good. Driver & Walters are good talents. Hopefully, Brunettes can live up to their billing.
RATING: *
- The NWA Anarchy Angel Mary interviews NWA Anarchy Owner Jerry Palmer. Palmer reflects upon the two matches signed for Hardcore Hell until he is rudely interrupted by Adam Roberts. Roberts is extremely annoyed that Palmer crossed his name out because his partner Jason Blackman is not in the building. Then all of a sudden, a wrestler in a rebel doorag enters and asks about his match. This infuriates Roberts and he begins to argue with the individual (Don Matthews.)
2. “Merciless” Don Matthews vs. “the Windbreaker” Windwalker
THE MATCH: Roberts and Matthews continue to argue until Windwalker rolls up the debuting Matthews for a two count. Matthews catches Windwalker bouncing off the ropes with a wicked clothesline. Matthews wins after a back splash and the VFK (leaping Yakuza kick to the gut.)
POSTMATCH: After commercial, Roberts confronts Matthews about not having a tag partner. Matthews reluctantly accepts Roberts as his partner against Truitt Fields & Phil Shatter. The problem is Brody Ray Chase & Brandon Phoenix has a match with the Marines. Brody promises to show everyone who is boss unless Roberts & Matthews leave. Well, that the cue for both heel teams to launch an unmerciful attack upon our heroes. The Welcoming Committee heads out to stop the carnage. Johnson’s ride is here and must leave. Sigh. What will we do without our color commentator?
WINNER: Don Matthews in a quick squash.
COMMENTS: There’s nothing more fun that watching two heel tag teams arguing and then uniting to destroy a face tag team. This seems interesting enough, so let’s see where there is takes us.
RATING: N/A
- We’re supposed to have a NWA Anarchy Tag Team Title match, but the Brunettes launch of vicious attack on Austin Creed & Hayden Young. Johnson has fired Fernando because he hasn’t arrived yet. The Brunettes destroy Creed with the top rope double stomp into a lungblower while Young’s arm devours a somersault senton from an electric chair position. They sandwich Young’s arm in a chair and Alexander smashes it with another chair. Johnson rejoices in the fact that Young will not be able to sign any paychecks in the near future. The referees, trainees and security head out to carry young to the back. It looks like we won’t have a NWA Anarchy Tag Team Title match tonight. This was a great segment that set up for a future feud.
- Justice Served and “Mr. Representation” Al Getz heads out to the ring. Before he can bless the NWA Arena with his presence, the fans interrupt him by chanting something. Getz commands the referee to countout the challengers after they were attacked. The referee administers the 10 count, but the Urban Assault Squad has other ideas. UAS connects with a spinebuster on Justice and say they are tag champions. Jerry Palmer calls for Mary to give him the belts, but Al Getz snatches them. Getz argues with the referee as the crowd chants “UAS.” Eddie Rich announces that the Urban Assault Squad is still the tag champion because the referee never called for the bell to signal for the match to start. Getz calls Palmer a loser and himself a winner. What a schmuck Getz is.
3. Jeremy Vain vs. Slim J
THE MATCH: How else would start a match between two mortal enemies than by a slugfest? NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion Chad Parham joins us on commentary to add his expert opinions on both competitors. Vain retreats, but Slim wipes him out with a tope con giro, the correct name for the move. In Japan, the announcers accidentally mispronounced giro as hilo. Hence, we call the move in English as tope con hilo when it is actually a tope con giro. Or so that is how the story goes. Ace Rockwell predicts he will hold two championships after Hardcore Hell. Vain shoves Slim, so Slim steals him in the face. Vain retreats and slides back into another punch. Vain slides back to the floor and Slim cuts him off on the apron. Parham claims that Rockwell’s claim to fame is beating Jimmy Rave. Rockwell counters that it took Parham 45 minutes to get the job done while it took him only 15. Parham takes exception and instructs Rockwell to shut up. Parham calls for the referee to ring the bell after Slim lays down multiple punches on Vain. Hunter asks Rockwell about Parham. Rockwell admits Parham is great, but he can be beat on any night. Rockwell tells him that Parham should look at the man on the right. Parham commands Rockwell to shut up so he can observe two of his upcoming opponents. Slim takes Vain over with a nice butterfly suplex for a two count. Parham asks what is Slim doing, but Hunter doesn’t have a real name for it. Rockwell calls Parham crap as Vain gouges Slim’s eyes and follows up with a suplex for a two count. Rockwell brags about being a one time champion because he never lost his title like Parham did. Vain continues to dominate Slim. Parham reminds everyone that he has main evented in four Hardcore Hell events and won all four while the other three challengers haven’t. Boy, does Parham exude thingyiness or what? After commercial, Hunter continues to egg Parham by calling Rockwell the best wrestler on television. Parham makes excuses when he was pinned by Rockwell. Vain slaps on a sleeper, but Slim takes the easy way out by reaching the ropes. Parham admits he’s not smart, but he is the best wrestler today. Vain whips Slim to the ropes, but they clothesline each other. Slim lands on top for a two count. They struggle to their feet and duke it out. Slim begins a comeback. He rallies the crowd, heads to the top turnbuckle and takes Vain down with an inverted DDT for a two count. Parham says he would have dropkicked Slim’s teeth out if he had tried that on him. Vain uses the ropes for leverage, but can’t get the pinfall. Slim trips up and double stomps Vain for a two count. Slim slaps on the Roach Clip. Parham refers to Vain, “Show some ring awareness, you moron.” Vain shows ring awareness by grabbing the ropes. Parham asks what move caused Slim to lose the Anarchy Title. Hunter answers correctly, the cradle piledriver. Parham continues to brag by saying he stays off the top rope as Vain trips up Slim. Vain executes a backwards powerdrop for a two count. Parham and Rockwell argue about hooking legs. Slim surprises Vain with a rollup for the win.
POSTMATCH: Vain launches a vicious attack on Slim. Rockwell leaves the announcer’s table to make the save. Parham leaps off the announcers table and splashes a cup of Starbucks Coffee in Rockwell’s face. Shades of Ric Flair and the Giant. A blinded Rockwell connects with the Ace’s High on Slim.
WINNER: Slim J.
COMMENTS: Chad Parham should become a manager or a color commentator if he is ever forced to retire from wrestling. I was forced to watch this match twice after listening to his shenanigans and constant demoralization of Rockwell. Parham sounded like an insider on a podcast when he pointed every fallacy in execution by Slim and Vain. Parham is insanely talented despite his size. Somebody, please give this man a big money contract. Rockwell handled his duties and to a good extent, passed himself as a legitimate contender to Parham. The match itself was good and had an acceptable conclusion. The postmatch activity was merely used to set up for the big four way.
RATING: **¼
- OVERALL: This episode advanced more storylines and perfectly set up the main event for Hardcore Hell, established an undercard match and sowed the seeds for two potential feuds. You have to listen to Chad Parham on commentary to appreciate how much he brings to the table.
