Saturday MMWA Results From St. Louis, MO

-The Lumberjacks(Abe & Gabe) d. Moondog Rover & Jackson Whitechapel(w/ Sean Orleans); Whitechapel badmouthed his partner and Moondog took a walk, leaving him to be pinned by Gabe after the Lumberjacks' double suplex.
-Heavyweight Champion Brandon Espinosa and Mephisto addressed the fans before the start of the tournament.  Espinosa claimed he had a deal with Mephisto that they would challenge for the vacant Tag Team Titles if Mephisto won the tournament(since the winner could challenge for ANY championship), thus winning them by default.  Mephisto offered his opponent A.J. Williams a job(cleaning his house, driving his car, working in his field) if he would lay down for him but Williams emphatically refused that "offer".
-King Of St. Louis Cable Tournament Quarterfinal:  Battle Royal Champion Mephisto d. T.V. Champion A.J. Williams(non-title); Jimmy D distracted Williams and the referee, allowing Mephisto to hit A.J. with brass knuckles and get the pin with feet on the ropes.
-Tournament Quarterfinal:  Ace Hawkins d. Jr. Heavyweight Champion Andrew Wilder(non-title) with a rolling prawn cradle.
-Promoter Tony Casta introduced former champion Steve Sharp who said a few words to the fans.
-Tournament Quarterfinal:  Dave Osborne d. Da'Marius Jones after a cobra clutch suplex.
-Tournament Quarterfinal:  Brian James d. Jimmy D.  Williams distracted D as payback for his interference earlier in the night; James went on to win with the sitout gourdbuster.
-The Missouri State official presented awards to Tony Casta, his wife Wanda, Gary Jackson, The Lumberjacks, and senior referee Jim Harris.  The Lumberjacks and Harris both announced that they would be retiring after the December MMWA show.-Tournament Semifinal:  Battle Royal Champion Mephisto d. Ace Hawkins(non-title).  Wilder ran out to hit Hawkins with a low blow behind the ref's back; Mephisto took advantage with the Air Raid Crash for the win.
-Tournament Semifinal:  Brian James d. Dave Osborne with the sitout gourdbuster.  James offered a handshake after the match and Osborne accepted.
-Brandon Espinosa d. Gary Jackson by DQ to retain the Heavyweight Title; the stipulation was that Gary would not get any more title shots as long as Espinosa is champion.  Gary seemed to have the match won with the Texas Cloverleaf but Mephisto interfered and blatantly hit ESPINOSA with the title belt, thus getting Jackson disqualified.
-Tournament Final:  Brian James d. Battle Royal Champion Mephisto to win the tournament.  Espinosa blatantly hit Mephisto with his title belt at one point(in an attempt to get James disqualified), but senior referee Jim Harris said they wouldn't pull the same trick again and ordered the bout to continue.  With Mephisto stunned, James put him away with the sitout gourdbuster to win the tournament.
