GCW Thanksgiving Turmoil Video Recap (11/24/2000-DeSoto, MO)

As discovered on YouTube a while back(not there any more)...

-Ring announcer: "The Ikon" Brian Thompson. Referees: Sean Vincent & C.J. McManus.
-Matt (Sydal) d. The Ninja with the running shooting star press (3:56).
-Jack Adonis d. Super Castaldi I after the Diamond Dust (4:42).
-Heavyweight Champion Big Bad Ben threw out an open challenge(without a referee) which was answered by Tim(othy Meadows)...Ben powerbombed him in short order. Matt ran out to help with a flying rana off the top rope, but they only got a brief moment of double-team offense before Ben overpowered them. Ben wanted another challenge and went backstage to physically drag out Rat Boy for a fight...it led to another one-sided beating ending with a powerbomb. Next out was "The Irish Luchador" Billy McNeil(w/ Sugar)...he was dumped out of the ring and Sugar was nearly powerbombed before Commissioner Chris Giacin entered the ring to restore order. However, Ben had no respect for authority and laid him out as well...finally "Pretty Boy" Kevin Sharp hit the ring and Ben retreated.
-Sam Bacardi d. Jon Jeremy(aka Steven J. Girthy) after a Buh-Buh Bomb into a full nelson for the submission (3:30).
-D'Mon G fought Diamond Back Dingo to a double countout (6:27).
-"The Rock 'N' Roll Sensation" Ryan Ash & "The Irish Luchador" Billy McNeil(w/ Sugar) d. The Old School Warriors("Killer" Keith Smith & Chaz Wesson) by DQ; The Warriors initially won when Chaz pinned Billy after Keith hit him with a chain, but the referee discovered the chain and reversed his decision (12:04).
-"The Human Wrecking Ball" Pete Madden(w/ Sindy) d. Mike Sharona via German suplex (9:00).
-"The Wind Of Destruction" Makaze d. Nikki Strychnine(w/ Pete Madden, Sindy, & Rat Boy) after Sindy accidentally hit Strychnine with the kendo stick while aiming for Makaze (10:16).
-There was supposed to be a Heavyweight Title match between Big Bad Ben and Kevin Sharp but it wasn't on this video. (EDIT: The GCWTribute channel on YouTube provided this missing match!)
-Big Ben Ben d. "Pretty Boy" Kevin Sharp by DQ to retain the Heavyweight Title; Mike Sharona tripped Sharp to set up Ben's powerbomb, but Commissioner Chris Giacin entered the ring to hit Ben from behind with a chair (causing the DQ) (10:09).  Sharp snapped and laid out the referee with the Makeover(Flatliner) afterwards.

NOTE:  This was originally posted on Livejournal in December of 2018 but I forgot to cross-post it to here...whoops.  Now added here since I got to see the other match.
