Saturday CHWA Results From Edwardsville, IL + Other Show Results

-Ring announcer:  Chris Roedel.  Referees:  Freddie Jack, Jeremy Smith, & Aron Lawrence.

-Heavyweight Champion "The Shoeserweight" Chris Exodus started the show by telling the fans that he recently had triple hernia surgery and would be out of action for a long time, so he was relinquishing his title.  Dilly told him that he would remain champion and an Interim Champion would be crowned instead; this brought out Alister Crow(w/ "The Wind Of Destruction" Makaze & "Parasyte" Tyler Blake) who demanded to be crowned the new champion as he was rightful number-one contender.  Tag Team Champion "The One-Man Zoo" L-Ride confronted him and said that championships should be won in the ring and not just handed to a person; as a result, a battle royal was announced with the winner going on to face Crow later in the night for the interim championship.

-Tag Team Champion "The One-Man Zoo" L-Ride won a battle royal.  Eliminations:  Tobias Storm, Ramsey Rancid, Iorio The Juggalo, Drew Karter, Henry Richardson, Rynar The Hooligan, Waylon Phoenix, 5* Jesse Jay, Mazoku, "The Third-Generation Monster" Damien Blackwell, and "Parasyte" Tyler Blake (8:04).

-"The Urban Cowboy" Ricky Rodriguez d. K.C. Karrington after the leapfrog Fameasser to retain the 1-Up Title (7:37).  The two shook hands after the match, but then Karrington kicked Rodriguez in the groin before leaving the ring.

-Kenneth Collins d. 5* Jesse Jay via spinning elbowsmash to retain the International Title (10:25).  Collins continued his assault on Jay until "The Main Attraction" Big Daddy Dion made the save; Dion helped Jay to his feet, only to turn on his longtime ally and lay him out.

-The Warriors("The Native Nightmare" Jeremy Lightfoot & Waylon Phoenix) d. D.N.X.(David X & Noah X) by DQ when Logan Simmons attacked Waylon with a chair (7:31).

-Alister Crow(w/ "The Wind Of Destruction" Makaze & "Parasyte" Tyler Blake) d. Tag Team Champion "The One-Man Zoo" L-Ride to win the Interim Heavyweight Title.  Crow attacked referees Jeremy Smith & Freddie Jack, leaving only Aron Lawrence (the referee who Crow had assaulted the previous month) to officiate the bout.  L-Ride took out Crow with the flying headbutt, but Makaze distracted the ref while Parasyte laid out L-Ride with the title belt.  That allowed Crow to gain control and win with the full nelson slam (16:35).
