11:34 am	Friday NWA Dynamo Pro Wrestling Results From Glen Carbon, IL + Other Show Results Ring announcer Luke Roberts kicked off the fifth anniversary show for NWA Dynamo Pro Wrestling...Director In Charge Mike Sharona demanded that the First United Church of Karrington return the Tag Team Titles to the Bumrush Brothers, but they revealed they were keeping the belts locked inside a briefcase. That brought out Dan Walsh, Trent Stone, and the Bumrush Brothers to run them off. Jackal d. Dash Rando with the Killswitch #2(turnbuckle-walk version of Christian's move). Alexandre Rudolph d. El Sanchez with a released German suplex; NWA Missouri Champion K.C. Karrington came out to watch the match. Karrington approached Rudolph after the match but Rudolph blew him off. Jake Dirden d.

10:14 pm	WWE Raw -Commentators: Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole. -Alberto Del Rio(w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) d. U.S. Champion Santino Marella(non-title) with the cross-armbreaker takedown. -"R-Truth" Ron Killings & Kofi Kingston d. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger(w/ Vickie Guerrero) to retain the Tag Team Titles when R-Truth pinned Swagger after the Paydirt. -Daniel Bryan d. WWE Champion C.M. Punk in a non-title match; A.J. Lee came out during the match in a Punk T-shirt. Bryan got the win after dropping Punk face-first on an exposed turnbuckle(Bryan had removed the pad earlier). Kane attacked Bryan with a chair after the match and chokeslammed him on the chair, but A.J. passed another chair in to Punk who used it to fight off Kane. -Intercontinental Champion Christian Cage d. Mike Mizanin(non-title) with the Killswitch followed by the frog splash; Cody Rhodes did commentary for the match. Miz complained after the match about not being rewarded for his contribution to Team Johnny at WrestleMania...so Randy Orton came out to give him an RKO. -World Champion Sheamus O'Shaunessy d. David Otunga(non-title) via Brogue Kick. -Brodus Clay(w/ Funkadactyls) vs. The Big Show never started as Show destroyed Brodus at ringside, then laid out R-Truth and Kofi when they tried to help. (Comment on this)
7:00 pm	AAPW TV -Bull Bronson d. Chocolate Thunder. -Jay Spade d. Matt Cage by DQ to advance in the No Limits Title tournament. -G.T. Vega d. Zakk Sawyer. -Livewire McGuire fought Jeremy Wyatt to a no-contest to retain the Heavyweight Title; this was the match where Wyatt broke a bone in his leg, putting him on the shelf for several months. The no-contest came about when Mike Masters got involved in the match and then got into a fight with a ringside fan(leading to Masters being fired from the promotion). (Comment on this)
2:14 pm	FCW TV 5/27 Commentators: Jim Ross & Chris Russo. Ring announcer: Caylee Turner. Mike Dalton, C.J. Parker, & Jason Jordan vs. Alexander Rusev, Jiro Takizawa, & Garrett Dylan: This is the in-ring TV debut for Dylan...he's the son of actor Kris Kristofferson. J.R. jokes that Dylan's the only heel without a flag and Jiro's the only heel without a last name, then follows up by saying that Dylan seems to resemble someone famous...heh. Jordan ends up in the wrong corner after Jiro distracts him, allowing Dylan to deliver an old-school Stungun. Dalton escapes that predicament to tag in Dalton...the house is on fire! Rusev puts a stop to that by shoving Dalton off the top rope...that'll alter the momentum a bit. Rusev overpowers Dalton with a chain of four hiptosses in a row...nicely done. Dalton finally gets out of trouble with an enzuigiri on Dylan, then makes the tag to Parker! C.J. dropkicks Rusev and Jiro off the apron, then delivers a swandive headbutt on Dylan but Rusev and Jiro break up the pin attempt. Dalton and Jordan deal with the outside parties with a pair of suicide dives but Dylan yanks Parker by the hair...only to fall prey to a victory roll from the mat for the flash pin! Aiden English vs. Leo Kruger: Haven't seen much of English...he's got a tough test against the former two-time Heavyweight Champion. Russo mentions Kruger's championship banner, causing me to realize that Seth Rollins doesn't have a banner yet...hmm. Kruger busts out the stump puller(tm Evil Doink The Clown)...wow. Kruger dominates the matchup but things go awry when he delivers a flying gutdrop to English's fist...however, Kruger cuts him off in short order with a spinebuster. One sleeperhold later, Kruger secures the victory. Kassius Ohno enlightens us, addressing his old friend Antonio Cesaro. Cesaro cost him last week's contenders' tournament match and Ohno vows to get revenge by knocking him out. Raquel Diaz vs. Paige Knight(w/ Sofia Cortez) for the Women's Title: So who's the face in this matchup? Paige turns up the aggression, shifting the fan sympathy in Raquel's direction...but a superplex fight turns into a sunset bomb of sorts from Diaz. Raquel comes back with some Eddy mannerisms leading into a legdrop, then the Three Amigos...for two. Sofia gets a chair as Diaz sets up the Gory Bomb, then distracts the ref while sliding the chair into the ring. Raquel gets the chair first...but throws it to Paige and falls to the mat. The ref turns around...and guess what he thinks. Raquel wins by DQ to retain her title, taking a page out of her father's playbook! Briley Pierce & Colin Cassady enlighten us with newfound New York accents... Seth Rollins vs. Bo Rotundo for the Heavyweight Title: Rotundo is going for an unprecedented third FCW Title win...his previous reign did not end in the ring as he forfeited the belt due to injury. Big ol' staredown sets the tone during the ring introductions, but they do shake hands before the matchup. Extended lockup to start...YAY WRESTLING~! The commentators note that Bo's wrestling for the third straight week, plus Rollins had a tough non-title match with Big E Langston last week. Seth gets the edge by transitioning from an O'Connor Roll attempt straight into a back suplex...he keeps Bo grounded on the mat but Bo counters a headscissors into a bridging pin attempt...for two. Jackknife cradle...for two. Rotundo goes on offense but Seth blocks the bulldog, then Bo blocks a superkick to hit the bulldog on the second try. Bo lines up for the spear, but Seth leapfrogs him and Bo tumbles through the ropes for the floor. Rollins follows him out with the suicide dive as J.R. wonders if Seth's back is still bothering him from last week's match. The count is on, but both men re-enter the ring before ten. Advanced curbstomp misses, spear is countered by a leapfrog and rollup attempt, but Bo rolls through only to eat the Avada Kedava...for 2 1/2! A kick combo sets up another advanced curbstomp attempt but Rotundo blocks it, then a mid-ring collision leaves both men down again. Seth fights back from the apron and goes to the ropes but Bo cuts him off...Rollins fights him off and sets up a Phoenix Splash...Bo rolls away but Seth lands on his feet, only to be caught with a spear off the ropes! Cover...for 2 1/2! Seth rolls to the floor to regroup and Rotundo interrupts the referee's ten-count because he wants to win it in the ring. Bo throws him back in but Seth small-packages him...for two. Spear misses and Bo eats turnbuckles, allowing Rollins to finally hit that advanced curbstomp...but he can't cover right away and only gets 2 1/2! The two fight to their feet and slug it out...Seth finally hits an enzuigiri and then a turnbuckle powerbomb! God's Last Gift hits and that finally gets the three-count for Seth Rollins to retain his title! So long from the Sunshine State! (Comment on this)
12:35 pm	NWA Anarchy TV #330 -Commentators: Tim E.D. & John Johnson. -Vandal & Brandon Parker d. Zach Daniels & Joey Rhymer when Vandal pinned Rhymer after the Eye Of The Hurricane. -Jeff G. Bailey enlightened us...in the background: NWA Anarchy Heavyweight Champion/NWA North American Champion Shaun Tempers, Tag Team Champions Se7en & Bryan Cassanova, Bo Newsom, Jacoby Boykins(w/ John Johnson), and Jerry Palmer. Palmer said he would talk to Shadow Jackson again, then drew the battle lines...you're either with the NWA Elite or you're against them. -C.B. Gibson(w/ Tommy Daniels) d. Jacob Ashworth(w/ Skirra Corvus); the referee got distracted by Corvus chasing Daniels around the ring, giving Daniels the opening to hit Ashworth with a low blow. That set up Gibson's rollup pin for the victory. -The Hate Junkies(w/ Dan Wilson) d. Tag Team Champions Se7en & Bryan Cassanova(w/ Jeff G. Bailey) by DQ when Jacoby Boykins ran in after the Junkies hit a lariat/spear combo on Cassanova; The NWA Elite members retained the titles due to the disqualification. The Urban Assault Squad and Brodie Ray Chase made the post-match save and Brodie joined Tim E.D. in the broadcast booth for the main event... -Jacoby Boykins(w/ John Johnson) d. Nemesis(w/ Shadow Jackson); Palmer came out to talk with Shadow, leading to a ringside argument. Nemesis was distracted and fell prey to Boykins' powerslam for the three-count. -Backstage, Jackson confronted Palmer but was assaulted by the NWA Elite before he could put his hands on the former promoter. Palmer delivered the finishing blow with his axhandle before Nemesis and the other wrestlers arrived to run off the heels. (Comment on this)

8:21 pm	FCW TV 5/20 Commentators: Chris Russo & Byron Saxton. Ring announcer: Caylee Turner. Corey Graves & Jake Carter(w/ Abraham Washington) vs. The Ascension(Conor O'Brian & Kenneth Cameron) for the Tag Team Titles: The Ascension members set up for a Doomsday Device on Graves, but Carter clips O'Brian behind the referee's back as A.W. has the referee's attention. That allows the champs to hit an over-the-shoulder powerslam/DDT combo to give Graves the pin on Conor. Women's Champion Raquel Diaz enlightens us...she's happy about not having a title defense but Paige Knight(w/ Sofia Cortez) comes out to issue a challenge. Sounds like a match for next week. Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Big E Langston, non-title: The commentators wonder about the wisdom of taking this matchup when Seth has a title defense next week. Rollins has an uphill battle against a much larger opponent, but he hangs onto the ropes to escape a Big Ending attempt. He shoves Langston off into the turnbuckles, then delivers a spinkick to the gut and follows up with the advanced curbstomp to get the duke. Antonio Cesaro addresses the unwashed masses; he feels like he was cheated in last week's matchup against Kassius Ohno. He says we've seen the last of him in FCW...we shall see. Richie Steamboat vs. Brad Maddox for the FCW 15 Title: These matches are normally very technical in nature, but Maddox prefers to play the chicken heel role and immediately goes into duck-and-run mode. The strategy pays off as Brad avoids a blind charge into the corner and Steamboat hits the ringpost shoulder-first...Maddox follows up with a single-arm DDT and targets the arm. Richie fights back but Maddox hits the Dealbreaker(running jumping reverse Stunner) out of nowhere for the first fall at the three-and-a-half-minute mark! The referee backs Maddox off and gives Steamboat a moment to collect himself...but Brad immediately goes back on the attack. Maddox goes for a submission with a Fujiwara armbar but Steamboat escapes that predicament and fires back. Powerslam out of nowhere cues the comeback...he hits the spinaround neckbreaker, then follows up with the superkick to even the score at the seven-minute mark! Maddox shoves Steamboat off the top rope to the floor to regain his advantage, getting a close near-fall as we hit the ten-minute mark. Maddox goes back to the arm, but toys with him a bit too much and Richie gets an O'Connor Roll...for two. The kickout sends Steamboat throat-first into the middle rope and Brad capitalizes with a Flying Jalapeno...for two. Brad ditches the gameplan out of nowhere to hook a half-crab...well, it does potentially neutralize the superkick. Three minutes to go and Steamboat barely reaches the ropes to escape. Brad talks trash and goes for the half-crab again but Steamboat small-packages him...for two. Two minutes left. Panic mode hits as Maddox desperately hooks a camel clutch...but now there's only one minute to go and Richie gets to the ropes again. Brad seems to be out of ideas and continues to talk trash, then leaves the ring and goes for a chair. He wastes too much time and is met with a superkick on re-entry, but the time expires before Richie can get a fall so it's a 1-1 draw and Steamboat retains the medallion. Bo Rotundo vs. Kassius Ohno, Contenders' Tournament: The winner of this match challenges Seth Rollins for the Heavyweight Title next week; Rotundo beat Leo Kruger and Ohno got a questionable DQ win over Cesaro to reach this point. If I'm not mistaken, Rotundo is vying for his first title shot since forfeiting the belt due to injury. Russo notes that the winner will move on to his third match in as many weeks against Seth, so that person may be worn down a bit...PSYCHOLOGY~! In the meantime, YAY WRESTLING~! as the two trade holds and near-falls on the mat. Ohno gets the advantage with a Buff Blockbuster, then focuses his attack on the head and neck. CRAVATE~! Kassius controls the pace, but Rotundo cuts him off and catapults him into the turnbuckles...time for El Big Comeback! Powerslam...gets two. Corner clothesline hits but the bulldog is blocked and Ohno rolls him up...for two. O'Connor Roll...for two. Roaring elbow is ducked, but Ohno blocks Bo's O'Connor Roll attempt and blasts him with a basement dropkick! Bo rolls all the way out of the ring after that, then Ohno drops him with a huge dropkick through the ropes. Kassius sends him back into the ring, but Cesaro suddenly appears to bash Ohno with his satchel while the referee is with Bo! No one in the ring saw the interference...and Bo takes what is offered and covers Ohno for the three-count to win his title shot! Next week: Seth Rollins vs. Bo Rotundo for the Heavyweight Title, plus Raquel Diaz vs. Paige Knight for the Women's Title. So long from the Sunshine State! (Comment on this)
12:32 pm	ROH + SICW ROH TV -Commentators: Kevin Kelly & Nigel McGuinness. -This episode featured highlights of the Border Wars iPPV, including Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas regaining the Tag Team Titles from the Briscoe Brothers in a Fight Without Honor(after Haas choked out Mark Briscoe with an ether-soaked rag). -Rough few weeks for Davey Richards heading into Border Wars...auto accident, Kyle O'Reilly not in attendance due to a death in his family, Jim Cornette not in attendance due to problems at the border. In other words, Davey won't have anyone watching his back during the main event. -Kevin Steen(w/ Jimmy Jacobs) d. Davey Richards to win the Heavyweight Title; the piledriver was legal for the match. Steve Corino sat with the commentary team but didn't say a word. The turning point of the match came when Richards had Steen in the anklelock and Steen hung onto the turnbuckles in an attempt to escape, pulling the middle pad off the bolt. Steen kicked Richards away, causing him to hit his head on the exposed steel...he followed up with a sleeper into a German suplex, then the package piledriver to win the match. Promoter Cary Silkin refused to present the belt to the champion(as he's always done in the past) and Corino entered the ring to confront Steen...only to embrace the new titleholder. SICW Wrestling Explosion -Commentator: Larry Matysik. -Wes Brisco d. Sean Vincent with the figure-four leglock. -Flashback to October 1980: David Von Erich & John Ruffin d. Bulldog Bob Brown & Billy Howard when Von Erich pinned Howard with a small package. -Next week: Chris Hargas vs. Dave Vaughn. In two weeks: Ron Powers vs. Ricky Cruz for the Classic Title.

II Emcee: Bobby Jaycox Feature: Brent Terhume Headliner: Matt Holt Between the Foam show and tonight's guest set, recent Fridays haven't exactly been a confidence booster with regards to audience reaction.

1:56 pm	Comedy Part 451: Throwbacks Location: Comedy Etc. II Emcee: Andrew Hagen After: Ryne O'Burns Before: Spud Since I haven't written a lot of new jokes lately, I've been trying to dust off older material and improve it. It's funny to realize that some of the newer comics hadn't heard those particular bits. I am working on a few new ideas...trying to do more material based on my personal interests. It helps to connect to the audience on some level...I remember a recent Funny Bone show where people specifically mentioned a Transformers reference in one of my jokes. Perhaps that's the creative path I should be taking...we shall see. (Comment on this)

Brandon Parker with the Macho Elbow to retain the T.V. Title. -Tommy Daniels(w/ cane) came out to give his partner Gibson a pep talk, then called Jacob Ashworth to the ring as well.

Gibson and Daniels hit Ashworth with Total Elimination...Skirra Corvus made the save but Daniels laid him out with the cane and they hit Corvus with a Rockerplex for good measure. -The Urban Assault Squad members conferred backstage only to cross paths with the NWA Elite(Se7en, Bryan Cassanova, & Jerry Palmer). Palmer made a sales pitch to Shadow Jackson based on their past alliance...of course Shadow had no interest in joining Palmer's side. -NWA Anarchy Heavyweight/NWA North American Champion Shaun Tempers, Tag Team Champion Se7en, Bryan Cassanova, Bo Newsom, & Jacoby Boykins(w/ Jeff G.

11:14 am	SICW Special Comment Strong turnout(said to be around 300) for the show in East Carondelet featuring an appearance by Gerald Brisco as well as the final blowoff to the Ron Powers/Ricky Cruz feud. It was noted to me that this would be the night to make a strong showing since Brisco could give you a good recommendation in WWE... Don't know how much the opposide sides of the MMWA/SICW promotion reflect on each other, but Max Archer and LaMarcus Clinton have been feuding on the SICW side for a few months. LMC challenged Archer for the MMWA Jr. Heavyweight Title the previous week in a losing effort but pinned him in the tag match here. On a side note, LMC recently made his OVW debut against Rob Terry...congrats to him on that milestone. Texan and Bobby D have fought about five hundred times in the past several years...still never quite expect Bobby to pull off aerial moves like the somersault plancha that started the matchup. Travis Cook returned to managing at last month's show and re-aligned himself with old protege Dave Vaughn...most tremendous. Good matchup with a double countout finish so the feud MUST CONTINUE~! Ken Casa made his SICW debut and picked up his first win since his return to action...good to see. Getting used to the John Wu Dropkick as a finisher. Waco pinned Chaz in the tornado tag match last month, so CONTINUITY~! as they fought one-on-one this month. Solid matchup with Wesson evening the score on this occasion. Don't recall if Shorty has worked SICW in the past; I think this was my first time seeing him in a match in East Carondelet. Rudolph has improved in the ring, good for him. Had seen Wes Brisco a handful of times on FCW TV...I don't know why he was released but it did seem like he was injured a lot. They seem to be working on a face turn for Vincent but he had to be the subtle heel for this matchup...they did shake hands after the match and Gerald Brisco raised both of their hands. Powers had been champion for slightly over a year and Cruz has been chasing him for a good portion of that title reign. Gary Jackson was the referee and allowed a lot of leeway since it was Ricky's last shot at the title...he even let it go when Powers delivered a blatant low blow and when Texan & Waco interfered. Eventually he did get fed up and ejected the masked men from ringside, leading to the finishing sequence with several good near-falls. Nice to see a special guest ref play it straight for a change. I mentioned a few times that it's rare to see a long-term feud play out in independent wrestling...especially with all the conflicts that arise from overlapping show dates, travel problems, etc. It's also refreshing to see the face decisively win a feud...nowadays, that seems to have been labeled "predictable". Anywho...no local shows on Memorial Day weekend. Will be back in the swing of things for June with Dynamo and IHW, among others. (Comment on this)
