- The First was then AWF AZ State Champion Alexander Hammerstone hitting AWF Owner Jared with a chair. This forced a suspension and Hammerstone was stripped of the State Title.
- Next perennial favorite R3 won the four-way main event to claim the AWF World Title.
That was a decent show but, even with these two massive events, lagged behind Summer Explosion.
This past event (10/22/2016), The Elimination, was a much better show, almost on par with Summer Explosion.
The Elimination saw all three AWF Titles on the line, a number #1 contender’s match and what turned out to be an epic tag match.
Jakob Austin Young (JAY) versus Ju Dizz
JAY, excuse me (NOT) Justin Bieber, is an AWF vet. Ju Dizz made his AWF debut on this night. And what a debut. JAY (despite being the guy everyone loves to hate) can go in the ring, but on this night he meet a cyclone named Ju Dizz who outclassed JAY, out entertained JAY and well . . . out JAYed, JAY for the victory.
This was actually a very good opening match. I’d like to see these guys match up again.
Mason and Jax versus Super Nicktendo (Nicktendo and Super Chaos)
“and what turned out to be an epic tag match,” this is the match I referenced above. Mason and Jax are the heel team everyone hates, and don’t ask me which one is which. Super Nicktendo is the face team (yes that is their name).
Mason and Jax put on a solid showing as the heels, Chaos always delivered, but the star here was Nicktendo. I haven’t been that big on Nick since his debuted last year, but there is no denying that this was his best match period.
He not only shined in this match, he almost stole the night. Mason and Jax hurt Chaos early in the match, leading to Chaos being taken to the back by refs. Nick continued the match by himself. He took massive punishment, dished out some himself and never gave up. He almost won the match by himself a number of times.
In the end Chaos would return and Super Nicktendo would win the match.
Afterwards, Mason and Jax (sore losers) would destroy Nick and Chaos leading to the ref ejecting them from the building! The building! Awesome angle.
This was an epic match.
#1 Contender’s Match: Big Duke versus ‘The Fifty Year Storm’ Mike Camden
Big Duke has contended for, and lost, the AWF Title. This was Camden’s biggest match since his AWF debut a few months ago. This was a rather brutal and sometimes ugly affair, and Camden outlast, and out wrestled Duke to the Victory.
Good Match overall, Duke’s Best, but Camden is the New Number 1 Contender for the Title.
AWF Tag Team Championship: SouthWest Dream Team versus THE WHIRLWIND GENTLEMEN
I was very broken hearted in this match. I LOVE the Southwest Dream Team. But there opponents were the freaking WHIRLWIND GENTLEMEN! My favorite tag team in the industry today. I want to apologize to Awesome Andy and Danny Gee for not cheering for them in this match (that’s a first). But I also want to thank them, for they and the Whirlwind Gentlemen put on what might be the best tag tem match I have seen this year.
Remy Marcel and Awesome Andy tore it down when in the ring together in great displays of wrestling and athleticism. This was an emotional, passion filled match with two fired up teams that saw Andy gain the pin with a classic wrestling move.
After the match was a classic moment, the champs called The Gentlemen back into the ring, raised their hands and all four received a standing ovation . . .
Match of the night. (Plus I got my Whirlwind Gentlemen hat signed!)
Next up The 6-Man Elimination Match to crown the new AWF State Champion.
This match featured LT vs Chris Evans vs Evan Daniels vs Devin Sparks vs Aydan Colt vs ???
Yes, there was a surprise entrant in this match. Shockingly, this match ran the gambit of a brawl, technical wrestling, high flying and . . . something else I am not sure. Devin Sparks bills himself as the American Kaju from Tokyo . . . and apparently in Tokyo they have remote controls that can stop time in wrestling matches.
Either that, or he stole Vince Mc Mahon universal remote (as seen on the Edge and Christian Show). Anyway, when he used the remote, even one in the ring froze in place, even the ref. Only LT was left unfazed, as he was outside the ring, perplexed as what to do.
Once the control was whisked out of the hands of Sparks, the match continued . . .
Eliminations were slow to begin with, but as competitors started to go many in the crowd started to hated, what could happened . . .
Could the surprise entrant win the title? Could this really happened??? Yes!!
This sixth and final entrant became the new AWF State Champion: Spray Boy Roy!
Most people booed, I love it. Spray Boy Roy is a long time AWF guy who’s out in a lot of work, good for him.
Our Main Event of the evening saw a rematch for the AWF Title: R3 defending against Alvaric Reiner.
This was not a pretty match, but it was fun. Hard hitting, very punishing, but the real story was outside the ring. Alvaric’s henchmen, Mason and Jax, weren’t there to help. But honestly, he seemed better with them.
Someone else did come to ring side though . . . Big Duke. He got ahold of Alaric baton, rolled into the ring when the ref was down, went for Alvaric and . . .
New and first ever 2-time AWF Champion Alvaric Reiner! Thanks to Big Duke knocking out R3.
Big Duke looked like he was shocked at what he did, in a Mock fashion. Did he mean to hit R3 all along?
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The AWF delivered again. Better than September’s show, just slightly under their EPIC Summer Explosion show.
We left the show with some major questions:
How long can Spray Boy Roy hold onto the AZ State Title?
What team is next to challenge the Southwest Dream Team?
Why did Big Duke interfere in the title match?
When will Mike Camden get his title match?
Most importantly, who will be the first to feel the wrath of R3?
RATING: 7.5
