KDOC-TV along with the National Wrestling Alliance presents Championship Wrestling from Hollywood from The Showcase Regent Theater, in the heart of Hollywood California.
This week's episode starts with David Marquez running down tonight’s show. I feel this opening is a great way to give the viewing audience a preview of what’s happening this week. Famous B who has been on a role in Hollywood takes on the “Mr. Megastar” Tommy Wilson. The second scheduled bout will pit Willie Mack taking on the “Rock Superstar” Kaos. And the Main Event will be highlighted with the Hollywood Invitational Battle Royal.
"Mr. Megastar” takes the microphone before his opponent can be announced. He hates Hollywood, which begs the question, what Megastar hates Hollywood? “Mr. Megastar” calls Famous B a wanna B, actually kind of clever and got a chuckle out of me. Famous B gets into the ring only to get beaten up by Wilson. What I liked immediately about this match was the approach B takes in sizing up his opponent. Famous B is maybe 5’9, 5’10. Tommy Wilson is easily 6’6.
With the “Mr. Megastar” so much bigger, Famous B attempts to wear down his opponent with sleeper holds. The announcers play up the fact that Wilson is very mobile for such a big man, but the real story in this match is Famous B sticking to the game plan slowing down Wilson’s offense with his sleeper holds. Wilson finally breaks free with a side suplex and “Mr. Megastar” just reverts to good old fashion punching. Any mistake made by Wilson results in Famous B jumping on his back and locking in the sleeper hold. Wilson gets in some offensive moves like a clothesline that practically makes Famous B headless. The match comes to an end when Wilson is about to power bomb Famous B, who roles into a sunset flip.
Big win for Famous B, who has been on quite the role as of late. Two loses in Hollywood to Aries and Mack and wins over Rosas, Cedric, and now “Mr. Megastar.” Post match Wilson beats on Famous B, Cedric the Hitman comes out for a little payback on B. Of course, that brings out Andrew Hellman, this time wielding a chair and chasing off Wilson and the Hitman, but not before applying a little steel to the back of Cedric. Hellman’s midsection is wrapped from the rib injuries from the previous weeks. Hellman challenges them to a tag team match.
We get a series of promos from the men featured in the Battle Royal. Some of the guys are gold on the mic. Some are down right awful. Everyone is gunning for the Worlds Championship. Great job by the NWA, for putting over the significance of this match some of my favorites where; Jason Watts, Kaos, Scorpio Sky, Rico Dynamite, Wilie Mack, Peter Avalon, and Johnny Yuma.
After the montage we get a backstage interview with Jeff Resnick and “A Double” Austin Aries. Aries is upset that Resnick interrupted him during his phone call and upset that he didn’t take in a mint before the interview. Aries says Sky was dumb for refusing to tap out and if you couldn’t beat Aries with two legs, how are you going to beat him with one. Aries also will be in the Battle Royal tonight and will win it all to be the buffer for the NWA World Champion and all the other challengers.
The next backstage interview is Kaos and David Marquez. Marquez points out that Kaos has to go through Willie Mack before the Invitational Battle Royal. Kaos, full of clichés doesn’t care about what Mack has accomplished.
Willie Mack gets a great ovation from the crowd. The fans aren’t so pleased with Kaos. A chorus of boos, shower the “Rock Superstar.” Kaos and Mack have probably shared more time in the ring against each other in Hollywood than just about any other tandem. Mack’s offense is very explosive. And with in the first few moments of this match, Mack has Kaos off his feet and on to the outside floor. Kaos takes advantage of Mack by challenging him to come outside, rolling back into the ring and dropping a hammer on Mack when he rolls into the ring.
When Mack is fired up he is easily the most entertaining wrestlers on the NWA Hollywood Roster. Delivering a Bionic Elbow to Kaos, Mack forces the “Rock Superstar” into the corner where he unveils a series of right hand chops and closed fists to the chest and head of Kaos. The referee finally breaks it up, which leads to Mack getting blinded by one of Kaos’ digits to Mack’s eye. Much like the previous match up with Wilson and Famous B., Kaos works at wearing down Mack. Although unlike B, Kaos uses chokes. Kaos settles on a sleeperhold, that Mack does break out of using a version of a cutter. Mack immobilizes Kaos with a dropkick the knee and Willie Mack connects with a “323” which is the “Milk Chocolate” version of the “619.” Kaos begs off Mack until using a handful of trunks to toss him outside. Mack ducks a clothesline and turns it into an atomic drop that meets the ring post.
After a few shots to the dome of Kaos, Mack rolls the “Rock Superstar” back into the ring. Mack hits his signature “Freight Train” Clothesline and follows it up with the float over drop kick to the face of Kaos. Mack goes to follow it up with an avalanche splash, the Kaos avoids and after bounces of the ropes connects with that huge Mafia Kick. Kaos barely gets a one count, before Mack shoves him off and on to the referee. Kaos calls the Standard to the ring. “Pretty” Peter Avalon, “A Double” Austin Aries and Kaos beat down Mack. Joey Ryan and Scorpio Sky charge the ring, but the Standard are able to neutralize them fairly quickly.
Out of nowhere “BOOM BOOM” blares out the loud speaker and this isn’t a technical snafu, Colt Cabana joins his comrades in clearing house in the ring. This is the first time we’ve seen Colt back in the NWA ring since Pearce pile drived him through a table. Cabana was quick to grab the mic and says that most men would have to retire from that injury, but he isn’t most men. He wants Marquez to let him join and to start the battle royal. Marquez makes it happen.
After the commercial break, the ring is filling up with wrestlers. More wrestlers keep pouring in. Adam Pearce joins the commentary team. Ricky Mandel is the first wrestler eliminated. Battle Royals have always been associated with the rich history of California Wrestling from the Cow Palace to the Grand Olympic Auditorium. It is hard to keep up with the action, however. Even match commentator James Morgan plugs himself into the ring. Men spill over the top, as Pearce begs for someone to eliminate Cabana.
As the ring starts to empty it’s easier to see people getting eliminated. Slymm tosses Morgan over the top, Ryan and Mack eliminate Avalon and Jason Watts eliminate Famous B. We start to see A Double squaring off with Boom Boom, Ryan and Brian Cage going back and forth and Rasche Brown standing toe-to-toe with Watts. A group of wrestlers work on to eliminate Brown. Navajo Warrior, Rico Dynamite and Colt eliminated Andrew Hellman. Joey Ryan was able to superkick Brian Cage over the top rope to eliminate the other member of Natural Selection. Navajo Warrior clothesline Rico Dynamite over the top. Kaos is working over Mack in the corner and the remainder of the roster breaks off.
Pearce still begging for someone to eliminate Cabana, Watts goes to work on Ryan, Navajo and Cabana get it on, and the remaining Standard Members go to town on Willie Mack. Watts clutches the throat of Ryan and sends him over the top rope. A Double tries to lock a full nelson on Watts, begs off and offers a hand shake. Willie Mack uses a side kick to the head of Watts than nearly eliminates him. Then Mack connects with a clothesline and eliminates Watts.
Navajo Warrior has Colt Cabana exposed for a chop from Aries, who misses and connects with the proud Indian Wrestler. The face painted Navajo none to happy starts working on eliminating Aries, Cabana steps in and dumps Navajo instead. Mack is in the far corner recovering, Kaos tosses Cabana over the top, only for him to roll under the bottom. Its down to the Standard and Cabana and Mack. The duo use the same firemans carry to eliminate Kaos and Aries. The Standard break free and now have Cabana and Mack in trouble. Kaos over the top, Aries over the top, however Aries slides back in. Aries takes turns delivering punishment to Colt and Mack. Aries connects with a game changing brain buster.
This makes Pearce very happy on commentary, doing his best Don Meredith signing turn out the lights. But Mack his on his feet and connects with a spine buster powerbomb move. Things are looking bad for Aries. And just then Kaos, who was eliminated a few moments ago, runs back out, attacks Willie Mack and tosses him over the top. The last two men in the ring are Aries and Cabana. Mack gives chase to Kaos. Aries mocking Cabana winds up for the Bionic Elbow, Cabana blocks it and goes for a series of rights and completes it with a winding bionic elbow. Cabana throws Aries into the corner and is looking for the Flying Apple.
Aries gets out of the corner and bounces off the ropes, Cabana on the second rope leaps into Aries with another flying apple. After playing to the crowd, Cabana launches Aries over the top, but the crafty enforcer of the Standard slides back to his feet on the ring apron. Cabana attempts to knock Aries off and eats a forearm for his troubles. Aries runs to the top and Cabana connects with another flying apple to knock Aries to the outside of the ring. Battle Royal, match is over. Colt Cabana wins. Pearce is beside himself at the announcer booth, just screaming no, over and over again. .
Colt Cabana just punched his ticket for a NWA World Title Match. We’ll see you next week.
