War In The Streets |
Philadelphia, PA |
June 26, 2005 |
"Stay Awake" by Lords of Acid hits and out comes an Asian lady who looks like she stepped out of a Mortal Kombat movie set (possibly by way of a dominatrix film) and two nasty looking guys reminiscent of the Pitbulls. She gets a mic and introduces herself as Jade and the wrestlers as Wycked Dreamz and promises they will be the stuff of nightmares.
No-Countout-No-DQ-Match
Wycked Dreamz (Wycked Dream 1 and Wycked Dream 2) defeated
The Executioners (Skull and Crossbones) when WD 1 pinned Skull with the
Wycked DDT in 0:10:21.
Rating: 1/2*
Match was a nasty powerhouse brawl. Wycked Dream 2 had a broom handle smashed over his head. That didn't do much until Crossbones decieded to stab him in the head with the broken pieces and THAT draws blood. Didn't matter.
Steve Adams cuts a promo where he declares himself free of illegal drugs. He doesn't need them you see: he's Simply Charisma, which is perfectly legal and better than anything you could snort, shoot, or drink.

Steve Adams pinned Xavier T. Crawford after the Charisma Cutter in 0:01:39.
Rating: **
Short and brutal. Xavier seems stoned again. If he wasn't seeing things before the match he was afterwards thanks to some chairshots and a diamond cutter.

Brian Hansen defeated J.P. Wiekert when J.P. Wiekert passed out in a Boston crab
in 0:02:42.
Rating: *** 1/4
Another quick match. Wiekert seemed badly dazed after a piledriver and passed out in a crabhold. He had to be helped to the back after the match.
Tommy Hardcore and I.M. Extreme come out. Extreme is chugging a beer. They get into a friendly arguement over whether it is better to be hardcore or extreme. The agree to a match to settle the debate.
No-Countout-No-DQ-Match
Tommy Hardcore made I.M. Extreme submit to a bearhug in 0:03:41.
Rating: DUD
Before this match could get either hardcore or extreme, Extreme submitted to a bearhug. He immediately scrambles out of the ring, finds a bucket under the ring, and appears to throw up. He then cracks another beer and apologizes to the crowd, stating the hardcore vs extreme debate will have to be settled on a night he hasn't been drinking so heavily. Hardcore and Extreme go to leave but "Stay Awake" hits again and the Wycked Dreamz attack. Jade directs traffic as Hardcore and Extreme take a beating.
Eric Draven comes out for his match dressed in black and wearing alot of black makeup. He gets a mic before his match. He talks about how his life is empty except for pain. Jet Lee comes out and says that while it is unfortunate he sees life that way at least he will be prepared for their match.

Jet Lee pinned Eric Draven with the Kiss of the Dragon in 0:08:45.
Rating: ** 1/4
Crimson Ghost has the mic before his match. He has left three broken bodies in his wake already (Wild Child, Eddie Chavez, and Ariel Sweet). Now he will add another.
No-Countout-No-DQ-Match
Crimson Ghost pinned Chris Ravage after a Gorilla Press in 0:04:00.
Rating: ***
Ghost pummels Ravage the entire match. He doesn't even bother with a post-match beatdown after totally dominating the match.
No-Countout-No-DQ-Match
Eddie O'Brien pinned Brian Kage with the Straightjacket Suplex in 0:10:45.
Rating: ***
This was a rematch from last week and the sequel was on par with the original. Numerous foreign objects got used and four tables were destroyed before O'Brien was able to score a pin to make up for last week's loss.

Rating: ** 3/4
This was a war, pure and simple. Pinfalls count, submissions count, putting through your opponent through a table counts, anywhere you can, any way you can. Riotz got the second fall with the help of brass knuckles, a board wrapped in barbed wire, and finally a South Central Spike on the board. Pierce putting Nelson through a table featured an funny sequence where he tried to hit an inverted piledriver but it was blocked. He grabbed a microphone and repeatedly hit Nelson in the head with it, the sound of metal meeting skull echoing through the loudspeakers. He finally got Nelson woozy enough to hit the inverted piledriver on another try.
