AAW Pro Wrestling TV #4

Commentators:  Phil Colvin & Derek St. Holmes, Esq.

Heidi Lovelace vs. "Miss Natural" Heather Patera:  Miss Natural has the Patera-esque blond hair for this match; she's a veteran who has regularly competed for Harley Race's WLW.  Have only seen Heidi a few times; she worked a St. Louis Anarchy show last year and also appeared at National Pro Wrestling Day a few months ago.  She hits a Northern Lights suplex for an early near-fall but Heidi comes out with a front-facelock out of that predicament.  YAY WRESTLING~! ensues and Lovelace hits a flying armdrag off the top rope, but Miss Natural pulls her into the turnbuckles and crotches her on the ringpost.  This leads to a brawl on the floor and Miss Natural whips Heidi repeatedly into the guardrail(no countouts!).  Patera brings the roughhouse tactics to establish herself as the bad "guy"...but she goes to the top rope and gets cut off.  Heidi throws off her top(she has a sports bra underneath, getyermindouttathegutter) and does a handstand into a Frankensteiner to take Miss Natural down from the ropes!  Educated feet are unleashed, but she misses the last one and Patera hits a straitjacket electric chair drop!  Both women are down...but Heather gets the full nelson(shades of Ken whatshisname!), but Heidi armdrags her way out of it amd gets a rana pin...for two.  Double-kneedrive off the second rope...gets two.  Patera gets the full nelson again, Lovelace sits out into a victory roll...but Patera reverses the pin combination and holds the tights for the cheap win!

Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana vs. Dirty Dan Lawrence:  Dirty D.L. is a veteran of the Chicago wrestling scene and has held multiple championships in AAW.  There's some bad blood between these two...it's not all fun and games as it usually is for Colt.  Lawrence stops a bionic elbow attempt with a slap to the face...then throws Colt out of the ring where he noticably comes up limping.  Colt tries to duck away from a suicide dive attempt so D.L. stops short and slaps him on the back of the head...then he goes for a plancha for real and Cabana casually strolls out of the way.  Ha ha.

Cabana tries on Lawrence's "members-only" jacket but has trouble getting it off, allowing Lawrence to return fire.  They trade chops but Colt's seem to be slightly more effective...the battle continues outside the ring(no countouts!) and Cabana rams Lawrence into a fan's dry-erase board...why not?  Lawrence crotches Colt on the middle rope as he re-enters...that's one way to turn the tide(no disqualifications!).  He tries for Colt's own Billy Goat's Curse(reverse Boston crab) but can't quite turn him over, so he settles for more general abuse...Cabana mounts a comeback but a blind charge hits the ringpost shoulder-first.  The fans chant something that I can't repeat on a family blog...err, okay, I guess I don't HAVE to be PG.  D.L. goes to the top rope but has trouble getting his balance...in fact, he slips and lands badly on the top rope without any inference from Colt!

The fans inform us that This Is Awesome...Cabana hits the delayed atomic drop but misses the Flying Apple.  Lawrence tries his own and hits it, but Cabana wipes him out with a flying butt-bump in mid-ring...for two.  D.L. comes up with a second-rope flying headscissors out of nowhere, then a turnbuckle-walk DDT...for two.  Lawrence borrows Cabana's bullseye elbowpad...but Colt cuts off the bionic elbow attempt, then replaces the elbowpad to deliver his own.  Billy Goat's Curse is escaped and Lawrence hits a neckbreaker onto the knee...for two.  They trade shots and D.L. tries for a reverse rana, but Cabana blocks it and hooks the Curse in mid-ring for the tapout!

Markus Crane vs. Alex Colon:  Don't think I've seen Alex Colon before.  YAY WRESTLING~!  FLIPPIES~!  Crane is one of those unorthodox types...but Colon stops him with a Death Valley Driver onto the ring apron.  Crane can't quite pull off a headscissors out of the corner; Colon blocks to hit a forward electric-chair drop into a pin combo for the win.  Colon demands better competition...

Hellooooo Scarlett Bordeaux...'nuff said.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young vs. Alex Colon:  Well, he got his wish.  Young calls the fans "retards" and the fans chant "We Are Retards"...okay then.  Feeling-out process to start...YAY WRESTLING~!  Val Malone is conspicuous by her absence, though Eddie Kingston probably has something to do with that.  Lots of counterwrestling ensues...woo.  The match spills out of the ring and Colon sends Young into the guardrail, but Young sidesteps a charge and Colon ends up in the laps of the front-row fans!  Young is decidedly uncomfortable with the "fan support" thing and Colon goes to the eyes to slow him down.  Silas fights out of a chinlock by backing Colon into the turnbuckles...time for El Big Comeback!  Reverse fireman's-carry slam gets two.  Colon drop-toeholds Silas into the turnbuckles, then goes out to the apron for a running boot...so much for that rally.

Arrogant cover only gets two so he goes to the camel clutch...Silas counters into a victory roll for two, reversed by Colon for two...and Colon goes back to the camel clutch, but Silas gets a foot on the bottom rope.  No disqualifications, but the ref makes a five-count anyway(referee's discretion, we're told).  Colon hits a uranagi into a knee strike to the back...for two.  Silas comes up with a Regal Roll out of nowhere but Colon crucifixes him...for two.  Silas stuns him with IT'S THE BIG FOOT, then hits a belly-to-back backbreaker into a short-range clothesline...for two.  Young hits another Regal Roll...Colon avoids the turnbuckle-headstand ropeflip moonsault, but he runs into a Buh-Buh Bomb.  Silas turns him over into the Stocklock(full nelson out of the Crippler Crossface position) and that gets the tapout!
