We’re getting into the groove of things around here and that is making things a lot more interesting. One of the biggest stories is James Storm vs. Colt Cabana for the National Title, which is going to have to go down at some point. Other than that we need a new #1 contender and we might get closer to that tonight. Let’s get to it.
We open with a recap of Eli Drake being interested in all of the titles around here and playing Devil’s Advocate for just about everyone. After a six man tag last week, Colt Cabana is owed a National Title shot, though Drake is still lurking.
Opening sequence.
The announcers preview the show.
Here is Colt Cabana for a chat. He is happy with what happened last week because he’s getting his National Title shot this week in the main event because he is a main eventer. The fans rather approve.
We look back at Ricky Starks beating Aron Stevens last week.
Stevens comes out for a chat. Everyone knows that last week was a fluke and HE IS SPEAKING THANK YOU. If you watch YouTube, you can see how great he is in the ring, but more importantly, he has found out that he is the direct descendant of William Shakespeare. He has a quote from his great great great great etc. grandfather but gets cut off by boos. Stevens: “ARE YOU BOOING WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE????” Anyway he has a script from Hollywood and if things are not going his way, he will gladly accept it.
The NWA is coming to RetroMania Wrestling.
Dawsons vs. Matthew Mims/Jordan Kingsley
Zane powers Mims into the corner to start but gets taken into the other corner for some shoulders to the ribs. That’s about it for the offense though as the Dawsons hit a double suplex on Kingsley, followed by Dave tossing him into the air for a crash. Kingsley gets thrown into the corner so Mims tries to slug away, only to get dropkicked down. A double powerbomb gives Dave the pin at 2:12.
Result: Dawsons b. Matthew Mims/Jordan Kingsley – Double powerbomb to Mims (2:12)
The Dawsons want a title shot. Cue Outlaw Inc. to say the Dawsons beat them in a No DQ match so there are no complaints. That being said, if the Dawsons want a title shot, come beat them again. They’re willing to put the title shot on the line against the Dawsons, who will think about it.
Tim Storm is asked about all the bad things going on for him right now and retirement has been rumored. He does not regret taking the challenge from Nick Aldis, who is a fine champion. Storm doesn’t know where things are going from here though and there are a lot of decisions to be made. As for other titles, he would be honored to hold any title, but he isn’t sure if that is the direction he should take. The World Title ship has sailed….and here’s Aldis to take Storm away for a chat. Aldis says don’t do something you will regret because the two of them built this house. Don’t forget who you are.
Ashley Vox vs. Thunder Rosa
This is Rosa’s in-ring debut and she goes straight to a sleeper until Vox makes the rope. That’s fine with Rosa, who pulls her by the hair to make it even worse. Vox’s headbutt doesn’t do much and it’s a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker to put her down. Rosa kicks her down again and drives some elbows in the back before grabbing a bodyscissors. Back up and Vox grabs something like a chickenwing (The Real Catch) but Rosa flips her over and hits a top rope double stomp to the back for the pin at 3:18.
Result: Thunder Rosa b. Ashley Vox – Top rope double stomp to the back (3:18)
Post match Rosa stays on Vox but Marti Belle comes out for the save.
Post break Belle talks about how she doesn’t know Rosa but she does know Allysin Kay, who is her best friend. Then Kay came out and said Marti wasn’t ready, which rubbed Belle the wrong way. Cue Kay to say this didn’t need to be in public but here’s Rosa to post Kay. Belle stands back for a bit before following them into the ring….and helping to beat Kay down.
Who is the Question Mark?
Ricky Starks vs. Aron Stevens
2/3 falls and before the match, Stevens says there is no way Starks can beat him. Stevens tries to jump him from behind and gets rolled up for the pin and the first fall at 5 seconds. That sends Stevens outside for the YES/NO argument with the fans as we take a thirty second rest period. Back in and Starks gets two more off another rollup, showing that R-Truth Wrestling School diploma.
A nice dropkick gives Starks another two and he even throws in some Dickens before chopping away. Stevens thumbs him in the eye and hammers away on the mat for two before grabbing the chinlock. Back up and Starks strikes away, followed by a tornado DDT for two more. The missile dropkick misses but Stevens takes too much time posing, allowing Starks to roll him up for the pin at 4:49.
Result: Ricky Starks b. Aron Stevens two falls to none (4:49)
The NWA is still coming to RetroMania Wrestling.
National Title: Colt Cabana vs. James Storm
Cabana is challenging and has Mr. Anderson in his corner while Eli Drake is out with Storm. Cabana shoulders him down to start and hammers away in the corner, followed by a bonus shoulder. A missed charge in the corner lets Storm DDT him right back down though and it’s time to head outside. The seconds glare at each other as Storm chops away and sends Cabana back inside.
It’s time to start on Cabana’s recently injured leg but Cabana pops up for more chops. There’s a headscissors and a wristlock into a faceplant for two on the champ, followed by a sunset flip for the same. Storm is right back with a TKO across the top rope and the top rope elbow connects for two.
Cabana gets to make a comeback of his own and gets two off a running splash. The Flip Flop and Fly connects but Storm is right back with a Backstabber. The Eye of the Storm gets another near fall and Storm can’t believe it. Drake and Anderson get in a fight and here’s Kamille to stare at Anderson. As the glaring ensues, Cabana gets the Superman pin for the title at 7:58.
Result: Colt Cabana b. James Storm – Superman Pin (7:58)
Post match Storm says he’ll see Cabana again. Storm shouts at Anderson before leaving.
The Dawsons come up to the interview area and want their match with Outlaw Inc. RIGHT NOW.
Dawsons vs. Outlaw Inc.
For a future title shot. It’s a brawl to start with the Dawsons crushing Kingston for an early two. Homicide gets knocked off the apron and a poke to the eye cuts off Kingston’s comeback. Instead Kingston goes with a clothesline but there’s no tag yet as the Dawsons hit a double suplex. Kingston is right back out of the corner with an STO and that’s enough to bring in Homicide to clean house.
Some running clotheslines to opposite corners keep the Dawsons in trouble but here are the Wild Cards. Zane gets knocked to the floor and it’s a big knockdown on the outside. The Wild Cards are up to stomp Homicide from coming off the top but it’s the Rock N Roll Express of all people to get rid of the Cards. The Dawsons collide and it’s a spinning backfist into the Gringo Cutter to give Homicide the pin at 5:39.
Result: Outlaw Inc. b. Dawsons – Gringo Cutter to Homicide (5:39)
The Rock N Roll Express come out to celebrate to end the show.
Roll credits.
