This Day in History - 22nd Aug, 2016
2005 - The NWA Legends Fanfest held a live card as part of their gathering in Charlotte, NC. Mike Johnson filed the following live report:
Pre Show Notes: There are 116 fans in attendance, so many of the convention fans didn't stay for the show. Summerslam was also likely a factor....The original plan was for Chris Sabin to face AJ Styles tonight but since he was unable to work due to his jaw injury, former WWE star Shannon Moore was brought in....Famed NWA enhancement talent George South was in attendance. Oliver Humperdink and Howard Brody were also in attendance.
Chris Escobar vs. George South Jr. - South knocked Escobar out of the ring with a shoulderblock several times. South got a nearfall after a hiptoss.

Mark Nulty introduced Kharis and Stalker, The Lost Souls, announcing they won a match via forfeit. They are heavy long haired guys in black t-shirts. They said they came tonight to give the fans barbed wire and fire, but their opponents didn't want any part of them. Gary Hart was introduced as a consultant for the AIWF, said to be their home federation. He said it's a shame that some primadonnas prevented the Souls from competing tonight. Hart said he wasn't going to deprive the fans in Virginia (huh?) of quality wrestling. I was told that the part of the promo about an opponent walking out was true as a planned fireball spot was stopped by the venue due to safety concerns. The wrestler then didn't want to take the new planned finish and walked out just before the opening bout.

He hit the old One Man Gang 747 finisher for the pin. Anderson destroyed Lee after with another hammerlock slam and cinched in an armbar making him tap. It was what it was.
Shannon Moore vs. AJ Styles - This was billed as their first ever meeting. Hometown boy Moore got a standing ovation and a bigger pop than Styles. Moore worked in his punk rock persona that never got out of the gate in WWE. This was the first bout for Styles since hurting hiss knee at the TNA PPV. They did a feeling out process and back and forth counter wrestling. Styles did a leapfrog and sold his knee bothering him. AJ scissored his neck but his did a kip up.

They exchanged forearms. Styles got a two count with a suplex variation and followed up with a backbreaker. Styles missed a charge into the corner hitting his jaw.

Styles locked Moore in a forward roll up for the pin. Styles took off his kneepads and checked on his knee immediately.
Styles said that if he has any pull, Shannon Moore will soon be in TNA. He said that whether its in the X Division, the Tag or the World title division, they will face in the ring again. He said that it used to be people worked to make it to WWE but its time for a "new generation". The crowd popped and chanted TNA.
Moore thanked all the fans for their support as he broke into the business and made it to WWE. But said that's in the past. He said he is looking to the future and put over Styles saying that he deserves all the accolades he gets because he busts his ass and gives the fans what they want, professional wrestling. They hugged and left the ring.
A good main event. Both worked really hard and AJ did a good job working around his injury and making it part of the match. I could see some saying the finish was anticlimactic but the work and the circumstances more than excuse that.
Post Show Notes: No Greg Valentine as advertised although he was here earlier today....Not as strong as the first evening of wrestling overall, but for $10 it was more then worth it based on the main event. ... Styles is worth everything he gets paid and more. Moore looked great and seemed to be hungry to prove himself post-WWE.
