A Night at the Wrestling

Caught the wrestling card on Saturday night and then some. For the moment, we'll focus on the action in the ring.

Match One: Mas Caras vs the Spoiler

The Spoiler is still our slightly goofy fan favorite while Mas Caras is a crazed masked wrestler that's probably been dropped on his head a few too many times. They brawled all over the ring and ring side area thanks to a referee that was beyond lenient. Crazy or not, Mas Caras hit the double-armed DDT for the victory.

Match Two: Charlie Blackman vs Greg Cooper

To go from the main event to the second match on the card has got to be a bit disappointing for Mr. Cooper. Considering his intensity, it IS a disappointment. Greg went on the attack immediately after the bell and never truly lost the momentum at any point. After ten minutes, Charlie tapped out to the figure four leglock and Greg Cooper had the victory.

Match Three for the All-Wisconsin Tag Team Championship: Irish Thunder defending their belts against Sheik Hussain and Tork

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this match. Sheik Hussain is more of a cheating thug and Irish Thunder are the high-risk, jump at you from anything type. Tork is big. Jimmy McGee of Irish Thunder spent much of the match getting the snot beat out of him. Tork would beat him up a bit until the Sheik called for the tag. Then the Sheik would get in and cheap shot Jimmy in the throat, act like he'd applied some fancy hold, and tag Tork back in. Finally Jimmy slipped free of the Sheik and made the tag to his partner, Patrick O'Murphy. Things got complicated, their may have been an illegal chain in the ring and suddenly Patrick pinned the Sheik to retain the belts. Wild match. Weird ending but wild match.

Intermission. Soft pretzel. Mmmm.

Match Four: 'Iron Hands' Johnson vs Stan 'the Man' Miracle

Stan took a wicked chop to the neck from 'Iron Hands' and I thought that was it. By 'it' I thought Stan was dead for a second. Somehow the Man generated another Miracle. Another brainbuster and Stan gets the win.

Match Five: Brother Zeke vs the Executioner

These two big fellas knocked the tar out of one another. Executioner is big and mean but Brother Zeke is not so loving and friendly that he won't return fire. After fifteen minutes, both wrestlers looked exhausted. Zeke hit his big clothesline, following it up with a fist drop from the second turnbuckle for the win.

Match Six: Buff Mysterio Jr. defending the All-Wisconsin Heavyweight Championship against Rugged Robbie V

This match was insane. Robbie V does some demented high risk attacks. Buff is no strange to such moves but prefers his power set. Both wrestlers can work in the other's primary skills and they did. Robbie V hit a crazy powerbomb on Buff but Buff hit a huge leg drop from the top turnbuckle on Robbie. Back and forth, back and forth, it looked like neither could really get the advantage over the other. Naturally this meant the Executioner needed to come out to lend a hand. Unfortunately, he apparently still wasn't recovered from his earlier loss. Buff moved to fling Robbie into the ropes, where the Executioner prepared to hit him. However, Robbie reversed the hold and the Executioner was unable to stop his punch, hitting Buff instead. The distraction was enough for Robbie to follow-up with a German suplex with a bridge that held Buff's shoulders down for the three count.

Rugged Robbie V is the new Champion!
