As many of you know,I am an extremely huge wrestling fan that travels the highways and byways all up,down and all over the Gulf Coast area of the United States going to several independent wrestling shows.Yesterday,I took the "web swing" over to Defuniak Springs,FL to check out Southern Pro Wrestling and their show called:
"THE HEAT IS ON!"
I have been wanting to go see an SPW show many,many times;but I was unable to due to the fact that there were other local indy wrestling shows that took place on the same night as theirs which were more driver distance friendly,meaning a lot more closer to home for me if you will.Also,there is so much high regard and demand for me at a lot of these shows I that go to due to my great photographic genius as a wrestling photographer.After all,I didn't get the nickname "The Pavarotti Of The Papparazi" for no reason!
I go to a lot of wrestling shows in tremendous,undying support of them not only being the great fan that I am,but for what I enjoy best AND doing what I do best,that is a photographer.My wrestling pictures have won Picture Of The Day at the indy women's wrestling website,G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling 7 TIMES THIS YEAR!Not to mention,for the many wrestling photo albums that I create at PhotoBucket.com,these photo albums have won me Link Of The Day 5 TIMES THIS YEAR!
In short,in this year alone with my wrestling pictures,I have won on G.L.O.R.Y. 12 TIMES THIS YEAR!Needless to say,my illustrious award-winning
photography speaks for itself!
There have been some people that have posted on the message board at Gulf Coast Wrestling.com with some very unflattering comments about SPW and their shows.I have also heard some things said from my wrestlepals (by some wrestlers and some friends that I sit next to at ringside) about SPW as well.Some of them have said that the SPW wrestlers' gimmicks were like either that of cartoon or comic book characters.Others have said to me that when they went to see a SPW show,they left out the door just as quickly as when they got there because from their point of view,the show was completely horrible.While I respect my wrestlepals voicing their opinions to me about SPW and wrestling in general,I decided to go check out the SPW last night just to see for myself what all the hubbub and hullabaloo with them and the SPW was all about.
With all due respect to my wrestlepals,you NEVER ever could have been so wrong!
So what if some of the wrestlers from SPW dress like cartoon or comic book characters?So what if their wrestling garb that they wear is not in the proverbial traditional wrestling style?
WHO CARES?!!?
The bottom line about me going to a wrestling show is that no matter where it is,as long as it is entertaining to me,as long as I have a good time and as long as the long drive of 200 or however many miles that it takes for me to go to a show was not a wasted trip,to me,that is all that matters.To me,that is what counts.To me,that is the common denominator for me going to a wrestling show;enjoying myself,enjoying the show,having fun and having a great time.
With that being said,I went to my 1st ever SPW show in Defunaik Springs,FL.There were a lot of wrestlers from SPW that I have seen wrestle before in several other local Gulf Coast wrestling organizations,including the outstanding tag team known as The Night Creatures (Bat and Wolf),Tiger Lee,Extreme G,The Rainbow Warrior and Richtor Rhinehart.I was very much looking forward to see the very bizarre wrestler known as Dark Rage.After seeing him in action for the 1st time last night,as a heel I think his wrestling skills were pretty good and his character gimmick was off the chain!Quite a bizarre,off the wall character almost in somewhat the same lines as a wrestler in the WWE known The Boogeyman.
To be quite honest with you,webheads,the one reason and the one wrestler that I was looking forward seeing in action at SPW is none other than
a lady wrestler trained in the martial arts that has "educated feet".She is the fiery femme fatale known as MISS FIRE(pictured on the right).
Now,as you already know by now,webehads;especially from a previous blog that I posted not too terribly long ago,I am affiliated with one of the hottest wrestling related YAHOO! groups around called INDY DIVAS:
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/indydivas/
Another one of the reasons why I went to the SPW show was to check out some possible new recruits to add to the Indy Divas roster.One in particular that caught my interest and my upright attention was a very petite,very beautiful female that I have seen and have heard about.She managed Dark Rage and now she is training to become a wrestler.This lady's name is MISS JADE.
How can I describe the beauty of this lovely young lady for you to visualize?Well,for starters,when I first saw her and as I talked to her during my conversation with her,I told her that her face and eyes looked the spitting image
of a beautiful anchorperson that appears some weekdays early in the morning,but mostly early in the morning on the weekends on the Fox News cable news channel,Kiran Chetry (pictured on the right).
Now imagine,if you will,Miss Jade with the face and the eyes of Kiran Chetry(not to mention a
recent brand new piercing Miss Jade had gotten beneath her lower lip) with the short hairdo
of the very beautiful and super hott Academy Award winning actress,Halle Berry (pictured below on the right)?Let me tell all you guys out there something,that is the combination and the makings of one fine woman!COULD MISS JADE BE THE NEXT WRESTLING FEMALE PERSONALITY FROM THE GULF COAST TO BE THE NEXT INDY DIVA?Only time will tell.......but I gotta tell you,the possibilities of Miss Jade being an Indy Diva look
very,VERY promising.
I have talked to Miss Jade about starting a YAHOO! group for her seeing that I run and own 5 wrestling related YAHOO! groups (check out my previous blog "INDY DIVAS OF THE GULF COAST" to find out which ones I'm involved in!).I also talked about this to Miss Fire and two other female managers at SPW named The RingMaster and Bad Girl.For now,all I can tell you is..........it is possibly in the works!Stay tuned!
Now let's talk about all the action that took place at the SPW show alst night in Defuniak Springs,FL.In my opinion,I thought the action from top to bottom was pretty good,in spite of what the pigs,idiots and other moronic imbeciles on the Gulf Coast Wrestling message board have to say about it.
By the way,here are the results to SPW's "THE HEAT IS ON":
I could be wrong,but I believe that the 1st 3 matches were tag team tournament matches to determine who would be the #1 contenders to face the SPW Tag Team Champions,The Night Creatures.If that was not the case,then I'm sure that somebody from SPW may post a comment about it and will let me know.
MATCH #1:
The masked martial arts wrestler known as Tiger Lee and the very tall,very huge man in the hockey mask known as Jason,whom were both managed by Bad Girl defeated the team of the masked man known as Caution and E Money,whom were both managed by the very crass,aristocratic and egocentrical manager known as The Executive.Tiger Lee caught Caution with a claw hold to his head.The referee checked by raising Caution's arm 3 consecutive times and all 3 consecutive times,Caution's arm went down.Tiger Lee and Jason won by submission.
(3:20)
MATCH #2
The team of Extreme Kaos (Extreme G & Kid Kaos) defeated the team of Corruption and Brain Damage.
During the end,there was some dissention betweeen Corruption and Brain damage.Brain Damage injured Corruption's right hand.So what did Corruption do?While he was wincing in pain,he pulled out a pair of brass knucks,put them on his right hand and KOd his own tag team partner.At the time,Kid Kaos was down.Corruption dragged Kid Kaos' body over and on top of Brain Damage as the referee counted Brain Damage's shoulders down for the 1-2-3.
Then,Corruption joined the side of Extreme Kaos and all 3 raised their arms side by side in unison much to the delight and raucous roars of the SPW crowd. (7:43)
MATCH #3
The tag team of Chuck Thunder and the SPW Commissioner known as the Man In Black defeated the team of Bryan Grace and Exile,accompanied to the ring by Hurricane Dudley.
Originally,the Executive was supposed to be the tag team partner of Bryan Grace,however his leg was injured at the hands of Mr. M.I.B.M.I.B. told the crowd that he had a new move that he was going to do that night called "Fade To Black(something like a behind the back full nelson where the victim's face is to the canvas,best as I could tell!)".
Although M.I.B. wasn't able to use it on either Bryan Grace nor Exile,he did however use his new finishing move on The Executive,who decided to stick his nose during the match to interfere on behalf of his team.M.I.B. used that move on him making The Executive squeal like a pig and cry like a bitch as he kept tapping onto the canvas repeatedly.The referee had no choice but to award the match via submission to the team of Chuck Thunder and The Man In Black. (9:10)
MATCH #4:
The unorthodox and bizarre wrestler known as The Rainbow Warrior defeated Richtor Rhinehart,who was managed by Mr. Biggs.
Rainbow is a very colorful,"androgynous",playful and unorthodox type of wrestler along the same lines of the "Exotic" Adrian Street,just for those of you who remember your old school wrestling.On the local level,The Rainbow Warrior is just like Dan Delicious.MAN,I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO SEE A MATCH BETWEEN THE RAINBOW WARRIOR AND DAN DELICIOUS!
Who in the world would emerge victorious in that match?I tell you who.......THE WRESTLING FANS,THAT'S WHO!
Throughout the match,he gave Rhinehart and the referee all kinds of fits with his "arousing" by "goosing" the referee,blowing kisses,even actually kissing Rhinehart on the lips!Rhinehart somehow battled back,throwing Rainbow outside the ring just for his manager,Mr. Biggs to get his illegal punches and his kicks in.
In the end;however,Rhinehart's and Biggs' illegal tactics would both do them in.Rhinehart held Rainbow from behind and Mr. Biggs wrapped up the belt that he wore around his right fist attemting to cold cock The Warrior.But,much to their surprise,Rainbow ducked out of the way and Mr. Biggs accidentally knocked out his own man.Rainbow took out Mr. Biggs and immediately covered Rhinehart for the 1-2-3 victory. (9:59)
After the match,Rhinehart was absolutely livid with his manager and then knocked him out,leaving him there as he walked all by himself back to the locker room.Looks like the services of Mr. Biggs are no longer required with that of one Richtor Rhinehart.
MATCH #5:
The one and only Miss Fire defeated Milo.
In his wrestling garb,Milo looked like actor Scott Baio from the mid 1980s movie "Zapped!".Before the match,Milo got on the microphone and berated Miss Fire for being a "redneck woman".Miss Fire responded saying that everybody in Defuniak Springs loves redneck women!Who are we to argue with what Miss Fire said?
Milo took unnecessary shortcuts trying to gain every undue advantage on The Fiery One,but it was not enough.Miss Fire finished off that blabbermouthed miscreton by dropping Milo with a reverse face first piledriver.You could say that Miss Fire "dropped it like it's hot" and rolled Milo around into a sunset flip pinning position for the 1-2-3. (5:20)
MATCH #6/SEMI MAIN EVENT:
The SPW Heavyweight Champion,Dark Rage with his manager,The RingMaster defeated Chief Little Bear.This was a very good,classic,back and forth match-up.It was very wild and crazy!The match ended as Dark Rage reversed Chief Little Bear's Irish Whip in the corner where the referee was and squashed him.The RingMaster was about to hit Chief with her cain,but she swung and missed.Then Chief grabbed The RingMaster and gave her an atomic drop.The RingMaster rolled slowly out of the ring in some serious pain.But,unbeknowst to Chief Little Bear,Dark Rage grabbed The RingMaster's cain and hit Chief from behind in the back.Dark Rage revived the referee,covered and pinned Chief Little Bear for the cheap 1-2-3 victory. (10:43)
MATCH #7/THE MAIN EVENT:
THE SPW Tag Team Champions,THE NIGHT CREATURES (Bat and Wolf) with their manager,The RingMaster defeated the team of Lightning Jack and "Cowboy" Buddy Love.
The Night Creatures,whom by the way call themselves the 21st Century version of the legendary Road Warriors because of their wearing facepaint as a tribute to the L.O.D..When I see this team wrestle,the one thing that I admire about them is their amazing teamwork just like so many great tag teams in the past before them such as The Rock N' Roll Express,The Midnight Express,The Fabulous Freebirds and too many other numerous tag team teams from the past to mention.They finished off Cowboy Buddy Love in a dominating fashion as both men hit Love with dueling running clotheslines,one from the front and one from the back.Sort of a double running guillotine clothesline.It was absolutely devastating as they almost decapitated Buddy Love's head off his shoulders.Bat covered and hooked Buddy love's leg for the 1-2-3. (7:38)
Then when the match was over,an assaulting ambush ensued as all the SPW heels from the locker room ran in to attempt to beat the living hell out of The Night Creatures.All of a sudden,all the babyfaces from SPW ran in to the ring and beat up on all the heels totally cleaning house.
THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A FIGHT!!!
When order was restored and when the entire ring was all cleared,The Night Creatures,all battered and bruised,still remained in the ring.Then The Executive came out saying that he had some bone to pick with Bat.He confronted Bat and doused him wtih a perfume-shaped size bottle of some Holy Water.
This whole scenario reminded me of the movie back in the 1970s that starred actress Linda Blair called "The Exorcist".Linda Blair's character was possessed by the devil.I guess Bat had some demons inside of him and The Executive wanted to remove Bat of his demons,so to speak.Bat's tag team partner,Wolf ran in and attacked The Executive like a rabid dog,but it was to no avail as The Executive dropped an elbow to the side of the head of Wolf knocking him unconscious.Once again,The Executive doused Bat one again with his Holy Water.
Hoepfully,I'll be able to come to the next SPW show to see what transpires between these two!
I want to thank all of SPW for the great show that they put on for me and their audience last night.I hope that sometime in the not too distant future,I will be able to come back to see another great SPW show.
In closing,I want to respond to another post made by another moron on the Gulf Coast Wrestling message board in regards to the best indy wrestling feds in Florida.At the very end of his post,he made some snide remark about me saying that I DO NOT research these shows and that I DO NOT tell the truth about them.In a way,he was probably saying that I "sugarcoat" my ringside reports when I give MY perspective going to all these wrestling shows as if I'm making the shows I go to the best thing to happen since sliced bread,like I'm making the wrestlers more larger than life that what they really are and like they're the best wrestling show in the entire damn universe!
My answer to that is,like I told that idiot in my reply,I give my unbiased,total 100% personal and honest synopsis about these wrestling shows I go to and what I tell in my reports are THE TRUTH,THE WHOLE TRUTH and so help me God,NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!.
If I like a show,I will say it like that!If I don't like a show or a wrestler that wrestled on a show,I will say it that way as well.For the most part,I have yet to see a bad show.I may have seen a bad wrestler or two,but the majority of those bad wrestlers are so few in and far between.That is my 2 cents!
By the way,the ONLY thing that I ever sugarcoat is on my cereal at breakfast!
UNTIL NEXT TIME,WEBHEADS.....
