2014 Result Compilation: SICW

Saturday 1/18 in East Carondelet, IL:
-Brandon Gallagher d. Shorty Biggs; Gallagher held onto the referee to block the Shortcut(corkscrew snapmare driver), then got the pin with feet on the ropes.
-Gary Jackson & Big Jim Hoffarth d. Alexandre Rudolph & Joker; Jackson and Rudolph fought outside the ring and Hoffarth slammed Joker before pinning him with the big splash. Gary and Jim celebrated their win but Rudolph attacked Gary from behind and frontslammed him before Hoffarth ran him off.
-Promoter Herb Simmons interviewed Bushwhacker Luke Williams, but they were interrupted by Travis Cook. Cook claimed that SICW was bringing in all the big stars of the past to leech off his stable's drawing power...in response, Luke asked Herb to leave the ring so he could deal with Travis personally. Luke cornered Travis but Dave Vaughn jumped him from behind...the Bushwhacker fought off Vaughn and beat down Cook in the corner before delivering a Stinkface!
-Daniel Eads d. Frank Wyatt by DQ when Wyatt threw Eads over the top rope. Wyatt was upset about the decision and tossed Eads out of the ring again, but finally retreated when Eads re-entered the ring with payback on his mind.
-Herb Simmons interviewed Lucy Mendez and announced that Angelus Layne was unable to appear due to transportation problems. "Gentleman" Jake Parnell entered the ring and said he would face Mendez in an intergender match...but his disrespectful attitude earned him a slap from Lucy.
-Lucy Mendez d. Jake Parnell in an intergender match. Parnell got frustrated over his inability to finish off Mendez and brought a chair into the ring; the referee stopped him from using it and Lucy capitalized with a kick to the groin as the referee was getting the chair out of the ring. Lucy followed up with a DDT to get the win.
-Classic Champion Ken Kasa & Dave Vaughn(w/ Travis Cook) d. Jake Dirden & Heath Hatton. The Travis Cook Organization had a few moments of miscommunication that allowed Dirden & Hatton to take advantage. Kasa and Dirden fought on the floor as Vaughn speared Hatton for the victory.
-Chaz Wesson d. Ax Allwardt with a sunset flip out of the corner.
-Flash Flanagan d. Ron Powers with Ricky Cruz as the special guest referee. Ricky seemed to call the match down the middle, but he appeared to be favoring Powers at times. Late in the match, Flanagan swung at Powers and hit Cruz by mistake; as Cruz was dazed from the shot, he didn't see Powers covering after a powerslam. Powers hit a diving headbutt off the middle rope and Cruz recovered enough to make a slow two-and-a-half count. Cruz encouraged Powers to finish off Flanagan with the piledriver...but as Powers set up for the move, Cruz shockingly superkicked him and fast-counted Flanagan's pin! Cruz and Flanagan both stomped on the fallen Powers after the match; Jake Dirden hit the ring to help but took a superkick from Cruz as well. Powers finally brought a chair into the ring and that convinced Cruz and Flanagan to retreat...

The wrestlers hit heads as both attempted flying shoulderblocks at the same time; neither man was able to answer the ten-count.
-Ironman Ken Kasa(w/ Travis Cook) d. Big Jim Hoffarth to retain the Classic Title. Kasa worked on the leg for most of the match and took out the knee again when Hoffarth set up for a chokeslam. That opening led to Kasa edging out the win with a small package.
-Ron Powers & Jake Dirden d. Ricky Cruz & Flash Flanagan; Powers brawled with Cruz outside the ring and hit Flanagan with a chair from the floor, leading to Dirden getting the pin on Flash after a Brody-style kneedrop.

-Ken Kasa(w/ Travis Cook) d. Jake Dirden in a best-of-three-falls match to retain the Classic Title. Dirden won the first fall with the Asiatic Spike in about twenty-two minutes. Kasa kicked off the turbuckles to counter another Spike, but this time Dirden rolled off his shoulders to escape the pin attempt. The wrestlers tumbled out of the ring and Kasa ran Dirden into the ringpost, then Cook pulled Dirden's feet out from under him as he attempted to re-enter the ring; that led to Dirden being counted out at about the twenty-four minute mark. Things broke down in the third fall as neither man could keep the other down and Travis blatantly entered the ring to get involved in the match. In the chaos, Dirden threw Kasa over the top rope and then threw Cook across the ring, accidentally knocking down referee Jay King. The official finally called for the DQ at 35:34 due to Dirden throwing Kasa over the top rope, meaning Kasa won the match and retained his title.

-Shorty Biggs d. Dark Secret with the Def Jam(top-rope legdrop).
-Daniel Eads won a three-way dance with Frankie Wyatt and Max Archer. Eads eliminated Archer after a short-arm clothesline, but Archer hung around ringside and interfered in the match. That backfired as Wyatt picked up Eads for a slam, but tripped over Archer and Eads fell on top for the pin.

The fight spilled out of the ring and Hatton charged at Kasa only to hit the ringpost when Kasa moved aside. Cook hit Hatton with the title belt from behind, leading to the countout and Kasa retaining his title. Heath got some revenge after the match when he finally got his hands on Travis Cook...but Kasa walked out with his championship intact.
-Ron Powers & Chaz Wesson d. Ricky Cruz & Ax Allwardt in a best-of-three-falls match. Powers & Wesson won the first fall by DQ when Cruz shoved referee Keith Smith Jr.; this stemmed from last week's show when Keith Jr. ran Ricky out of the ring with a chair in defense of his father. All four men fought in the second fall and Ricky took another swing at Keith Jr., but Keith ducked the punch and slapped him! In the chaos, Wesson got the pin on Ax with a cross-bodyblock off the top rope.

Jay King ran in to count a near-fall for Powers, then Jim Hoffarth arrived at the ringside area to run off Flash. Later in the bout, Travis Cook sent Kasa and Bronson into the ring to seemingly attack both men; they fought off Kasa and Bronson, then Cruz encouraged Powers to piledrive Cook. However, the loss of focus cost Powers as Cruz superkicked him and got the three-count! (8:23) Cruz, Cook, and Bronson waved goodbye as Powers left through the side door of the venue...

Waco returned the favor by snapping Hoffarth's throat off the top rope behind the referee's back, allowing Bronson to roll up Hoffarth for a three-count in 8:44. Shorty was the next to be eliminated as Bull pinned him after a Samoan Drop in 11:36. That left Gary alone against two opponents, but he took advantage of a backfired double-team and countered a Bronson slam attempt with an inside cradle, getting the fall at 13:42.

Flanagan finally trapped Eads in an anklelock; Eads didn't tap out but the referee called for the bell, declaring Eads unable to continue (14:16).

Hatton got a hold of the metal baton in Kasa's boot, but Kasa stopped him from using it with a low blow. The referee recovered to count Kasa's pin attempt, but Hatton barely got his shoulder up at 2 1/2.

The referee was knocked down and Flanagan took the opportunity to bash Hatton in the head with his kendo stick; Flash scored the pin as the ref recovered to make the three-count (11:01).

-Attila Khan(w/ Travis Cook) d. "Risky Business" Everett Connors after the inverted DDT (1:46). Khan caught Connors in his own version of the Asiatic Spike after the match; Cook had to put a black hood over his head to calm him down.
-"Dirdey" Jake Dirden d. Ax Allwardt with the Asiatic Spike (5:40).
-Herb Simmons did an interview with Jim Cornette to establish a few things about the main event: No countouts, no DQs, no time limit...there would be a decisive winner.
-Big Jim Hoffarth fought Bubba Troll to a double DQ when both men shoved the referee away as he tried to get between the two (4:58).
-"Ironman" Ken Kasa & Bull Bronson(w/ Travis Cook) d. "The Man Of Tomorrow" Daniel Eads & Shiloh Jonze; Kasa pinned Jonze after he and Bronson hit Jonze with the Hart Attack (11:41).
-"Night Train/Gorgeous/Great One" Gary Jackson d. Mohamad Ali Vaez in a Texas Death Match; the loser of a fall had thirty seconds to get back to his feet or be declared the loser. Vaez got an early flash pin with a backslide but Gary was more surprised than hurt by the move. Later in the match, Vaez was able to win a fall with the Akbar Clutch(cobra clutch out of the camel clutch position) (I couldn't tell if Gary tapped out or passed out in the hold); Gary just barely got back to his feet after that hold. Jackson scored a tapout with the Texas Cloverleaf and it was Vaez's turn to barely beat the count. Gary reversed an Irish whip into a chair wedged in the corner and went to the top rope...Vaez cut him off and hit a superplex, but the referee counted both men's shoulders down as each had an arm draped over the other. That meant both men had to answer the count...and only Gary was able to regain his feet in the thirty-second time period (20:00)!
-Flash Flanagan d. "The Old School Warrior" Chaz Wesson to retain the Classic Title by rolling through a blind cross-bodyblock off the top rope and holding the tights (6:45).
-Red River Jack(w/ Big Daddy) d. "The King Of Chaos" Ricky Cruz(w/ Travis Cook & Attila Khan) in a no-countout-no-DQ match with RRJ's mask on the line and Jim Cornette as the special guest referee. Before the match even started, Cornette appointed Jake Dirden as the special ringside enforcer and banned Khan from ringside. He also entrusted Dirden with his trademark tennis racket to use against any interfering parties. Cruz survived a Double-R-J(RKO/Diamond Cutter) and Jack survived Cruz's superkick. Dirden stopped Ken Kasa from interfering, but Flash Flanagan entered the ringside area through the back door to attack Dirden from behind...the two brawled away from the ringside area and completely out of the building. Cornette got into a tussle with Travis Cook, leading to Cruz hitting Jack with the tennis racket for a close near-fall. Ricky confronted Cornette over his pin count, but that allowed RRJ to recover and blast Cruz with the tennis racket for the victory (9:29)!
