Toni Rose vs. Iveliese w/ Mercedes Martinez

INTERVIEW: Baron Von Raschke
The interviewer asks Von Raschke about facing anyone at Hometown Throwdown. Von Raschke says he has an open contract and is willing to face anyone who wants to wear his Iron Claw. And that's all the people need to know!


(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and comments on how things didn't go Manny Fernandez's way at Tournament of Survival and he looks to turn things around in the next match.)

Manny Fernandez vs. Al Snow
Snow came out fast, but Fernandez endured the assault and battled back. Fernandez beat Snow with a vertical suplex.

Post match: After the match, Fernandez is attacked from behind by the Fabulous Kangaroos. The Roos beat down Fernandez only for Baron Von Raschke to make the save. Von Raschke grabs a mic and tells the Roos that if they want to fight, then to do it face to face at Hometown Throwdown.

INTERVIEW: Fabulous Kangaroos (Al Costello & Roy Heffernan) w/ Red Berry
The interviewer asks the Kangaroos about their attack on Manny Fernandez. Berry grabs the mic and complains about being looked over since arriving in CPW. He said his team was just making a statement and Manny Fernandez happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Fernandez and Baron Von Raschke run in and attack the Roos, and it's total bedlam. Multiple referees and members of security are needed to restore order.


(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and comments on how Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen will be joined by Don Leo Jonathan at Hometown Throwdown when they face Dark Menace's team of Dr. X & The Spoiler. Leseveren questions when we will find out who the Menace's duo's partner is.)

Bruiser Brody & Stan Hansen vs. Dr. X & The Spoiler w/ Dark Menace
This match was exactly what everyone expected, a brutal, violent brawl. Both teams battled inside and outside the ring as neither team gave an inch. As both teams were brawling outside the ring, an individual from the crowd grabbed Brody and gouged his forehead with a fork. IT'S ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER! Abdullah and Brody began to brawl at ringside with Brody now a bloody mess. X and Spoiler double team Hansen as the ref called for the disqualification.

Post match: Referees and security again pour out toward the ring and take several minutes to force all five men and Dark Menace to the back.

INTERVIEW: CPW TV Champion Tully Blanchard w/ Dark Menace
The interviewer asks Blanchard about his chances against the dominant heavyweight champion Big Van Vader coming up at Hometown Throwdown. Menace comments on how Blanchard has been just as dominant as the TV champion and says they have what will prove to be a very successful game plan for the championship match. Blanchard comments on how Vader is a big man and how he's full of a lot of hot air. He says Vader hasn't faced a man of his superior athleticism and intelligence … and it's those attributes that will be the reason he (Blanchard) will walk out of Denver Coliseum as a double champion.


(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and comments on how Joe Blanchard is finally receiving the title shot he has definitely earned.)

CPW Jr. Heavyweight Title Match
Joe Blanchard vs. CPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion Danny Hodge
Hodge had the early advantage and looked to have things in hand, but after a brawl outside the ring, Blanchard showed signs of life. Blanchard battled back and after wearing Hodge down, made him submit to an ABDOMINAL STRETCH to win the title.

(Leseveren congratulates Blanchard on winning the title and again laments with what Blanchard has gone through, he has definitely earned the title. Leseveren welcomes the fans for watching and invites them to tune in next time.

Val Venis w/ So Cal Val vs. Mike DiBiase

Beverly Shade vs. Penny Banner
Banner controlled most of the match, but Shade did get some offense in. Banner beat Shade with an atomic drop.

Post match: As Banner celebrates her victory, Shade recovers and attacks Banner from behind. Shade delivered THE HAMMER multiple times to Banner before referees could break up the attack. Banner had to be stretchered from the ring with a neck collar applied as officials feared she may have suffered a neck and/or head injury.

Baron Von Raschke & Manny Fernandez vs. Fabulous Kangaroos w / ‘Wild’ Red Berry
Von Raschke and Fernandez were definitely out for vengeance for the attack the Kangaroos perpetrated on Fernandez a couple weeks ago. Von Raschke promised a fight and that’s exactly what he and Fernandez brought to this match. The Roos had a hard time defending against their opponents’ onslaught as the action spilled out of the ring. Both teams continued to brawl outside the ring and the referee disqualified both teams.

Navajo Warrior vs. Mr. Hughes
This was another brutal match that saw some great back and forth action. Both men exchanged the advantage until Hughes put Navajo away with multiple SIDE SLAMS.

Blackjack Mulligan & Scott Casey vs. Long Riders (‘Wild’ Bill & Scott ‘Hog’ Irwin)
This match was a pier-six brawl from the opening bell. All four men brawled to start the match, but as soon as the ref gained control, he was forced to disqualify Scott for kicking Casey with his steel toed boot.

Post match: The brawl began again and all four men brawled around ringside. Referees and security again made their way to the ring, but had a difficult time restoring order. Bill rammed Casey head first into the ring post and Casey immediately started spurting blood. Bill almost looked concerned, but continued his assault. Order was ultimately restored, but Casey needed assistance to the back due to the beating and the blood loss.

2 Cold Scorpio vs. Colt Cabana
Scorpio started off fast and had Cabana off balance. Cabana battled back and gained a near fall before locking in BILLY GOAT’S CURSE. Scorpio managed to escape and the match continued. Both men battled back and forth for several minutes before Scorpio gained the upper hand and pinned Cabana after a second DISS THAT DON’T MISS.

Don Leo Johnathan, Bruiser Brody & Stan Hanesn vs. The Spoiler, Dr. X & Abdullah The Butcher w/Dark Menace
This was a wild match in which the ref had a hard time keeping control of. Both teams executed multiple tags and gained multiple near falls. The action broke down several times as all six men brawled uncontrollably before Brody pinned Spoiler after a JUMPING KNEE DROP.

CPW WOMEN’S TITLE MATCH
Iveliese w/ Mercedes Martinez vs. CPW Women’s Champion Jazz
There was no love lost between these two women as they tore into each other at the opening bell. Jazz had the advantage early, but Iveliese battled back. The action continued back and forth with both women gaining near falls. Jazz had the BITCH CLAMP locked in, but Martinez distracted the ref and Jazz released the hold. The action continued until Jazz dropped Iveliese on the concrete floor outside the ring with a fisherman buster. Jazz rolled back into the ring, leaving Iveliese in dire straits as Iveliese was in a heap. Martinez tried everything she could to get Iveliese back on her feet, but was unsuccessful and Iveliese was counted out.

CPW TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
Dick Hutton & Danny Hodge vs. CPW Tag Team Champions Steve ‘Dr. Death’ Williams & Ted DiBiase
The apparent game plan was to isolate Hodge and keep Hutton out of the ring. It proved successful as they significantly wore Hodge down, DiBiase used the FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK to do significant damage. The champs continued to cut the ring in half until DiBiase decked Hodge with the LOADED GLOVE. Hutton tried to make the save, but Williams intercepted him and DiBiase made the pin.

CPW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
CPW TV Champion Tully Blanchard vs. CPW Heavyweight Champion Big Van Vader
Vader overwhelmed Blanchard early with his strength advantage. Vader gained an early near fall when he delivered a running body avalanche, but Menace put Blanchard's foot on the bottom rope then pointed it out to the ref. The action continued with Vader in control and it looked like the champ had victory in his grasp after a RELEASED POWER BOMB, but Menace smashed Vader with his cane. The cane shot had no affect as Vader turned his attention to Menace. The distraction proved beneficial for Blanchard as he recovered and caught Vader with a piledriver. Blanchard capitalized on his advantage, using anything he could find to inflict damage, including a steel chair. Vader ultimately regained the advantage and took the action outside the ring, where he delivered a RELEASED POWER BOMB. Blanchard was hurt and despite Menace's best efforts, Blanchard was counted out.

Note: The crowd was clearly behind Vader during the match and was ecstatic that he won.

Abdullah The Butcher w/ Dark Menace vs. Al Snow
Snow was all over Abdullah from the opening bell. It didn’t look like his offense was having much affect, but Snow did gain a couple of near falls. Snow delivered an amazing SNOW PLOW then played to the crowd. As the ref checked on Abdullah, Menace smashed Snow with his cane in the back of the head. Snow went down like a ton of bricks and Abdullah dropped the SUDANESE MEAT CLEAVER to end the match.

INTERVIEW: CPW Women’s Champion Jazz
The interviewer asks Jazz about Iveliese’s challenge and Jazz responds by passionately expressing how she is growing tired of people questioning her about her victory at Hometown Throwdown and how she didn’t beat Iveliese in the center of the ring. Jazz says that there will be no doubt after New Year’s Clash about who the baddest bitch in CPW is when she makes Iveliese submit in the middle of the ring.

The interviewer announces that D’Lo Brown & Redd Dogg will challenge the champs at New Year’s Clash. DiBiase comments on how they have been dominant champions and that won’t change at New Year’s Clash. Williams comments that Brown and Dogg are a couple of tough dudes, but the champs are tougher and that’s why they will walk out of New Year’s Clash with the belts still firmly around their waist.


(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and talks about how D’Lo Brown & Redd Dogg have worked their way up the rankings and are worthy challengers for the CPW Tag Team Titles.)

CPW TV TITLE MATCH
Dan Severn vs. CPW TV Champion Tully Blanchard w/ Dark Menace

Long Riders (‘Wild’ Bill & Scott ‘Hog’ Irwin) vs. Baron Von Raschke & ‘Sodbuster’ Kenny Jay

INTERVIEW: CPW Jr. Heavyweight Champion Joe Blanchard
The interviewer announces that Blanchard will join the debuting Yukon Eric and 'Sodbuster' Kenny Jay to face Al Snow, Mike DiBiase and 2 Cold Scorpio at New Year's Clash and asks Blanchard about the upcoming match. Blanchard says he's excited to be teaming up with a couple of quality partners in Eric and Jay to face a couple of guys he's no stranger to and Snow. The interviewer mentions that DiBiase and Scorpio would love another shot at the CPW Jr. Heavyweight Title. Blanchard responds by saying he said he'd be a fighting champion and if the board of directors deem either of them a worthy challenger he welcomes it.


(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and talks about the CPW Women's Title Lumberjill match at New Year's Clash and how Mercedes Martinez is certain to be one of the lumberjills.)

Mercedes Martinez w/ Iveliese vs. Racquel Ramirez
Martinez had trouble with Ramirez early and often in this match. Martinez ultimately grew frustrated and the action spilled out of the ring. Both women's Latin temper took over and neither heeded the warnings of the referee as they brawled. After multiple warnings to return the action to the ring going unheeded, the referee disqualified both women.

INTERVIEW: Blackjack Mulligan
The interviewer comments on Mulligan competing in more tag team action as of late, but at New Year's Clash he's facing Navajo Warrior. Mulligan jokingly comments that it will be just like playing cowboys and Indians when he was a kid, then says in all seriousness that Navajo is a solid competitor and ol' Blackjack is going to need to be on top of his game if he's going to come away with a victory.


(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and says the next match features a couple of men that are trying to get into contention for the CPW Jr. Heavyweight Title held by Joe Blanchard.)

INTERVIEW: Billy Wicks
The interviewer welcomes Wicks to CPW and asks him about his wrestling style. Wicks responds by saying he's here to prove that the catch wrestling style is superior to any other style. He plans to grind his opponents into the mat and make them submit every time.


(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and announces it's time for our feature match and he's not sure if even Strategy-X can come up with a plan for Mr. Hughes to knock off CPW Heavyweight Champion Big Van Vader in non-title action.)

NON-TITLE MATCH
CPW Heavyweight Champion Big Van Vader vs. Mr. Hughes w/ So Cal Val & Strategy-X
Vader dominated the match and looked to have things well in hand after delivering a RELEASED POWER BOMB, but Val pulled the ref out of the ring. The ref got in Val's face and she showed him Strategy-X. The ref was having none of it and disqualified Hughes.

(Leseveren comments that Hughes didn't win the match, but he wasn't pinned either and that may have been the best-case strategy all along. Leseveren thanks the fans for watching and invites them to tune in next time.)

Post match: Val berated Venis, telling him he needs to follow the advice of Strategy-X if he wants to win the match.


Penny Banner vs. Beverly Shade
Banner was all over Shade to start the match, obviously looking for revenge after Shade injured Banner the last time they met. Shade endured the assault and attacked Banner with a chair when the action spilled out of the ring. Banner's leg seemed to be injured and Shade locked in an Indian Deathlock when the action returned to the ring. Banner managed to get to the rope to break the hold, but couldn't regain her feet. Shade stomped her to the mat then delivered THE HAMMER to get the victory.

Post match: Shade celebrated her victory, much to the fans' chagrin. Banner somehow regained her base and nailed Shade with a running dropkick that sent Shade out of the ring. Banner followed Shade and continued her assault, delivering a big slam on the floor outside the ring. Banner grabbed a chair and wore Shade out with it before referees and security could regain order. Shade needed to be helped to the back.


PENALTY BOX MATCH
Baron Von Raschke & Manny Fernandez vs. Fabulous Kangaroos (Al Costello & Roy Heffernan) w / ‘Wild’ Red Berry
Prior to the start of the match it is explained that there are two referees assigned to the this match (one inside and one outside the ring) and any time the referee deems that any individual involved this match is in violation of a rule that could ultimately result in a disqualification, that wrestler must sit in the penalty box at ringside for 2 minutes. Fernandez and Costello started out the match and Costello ended up outside the ring early. Instead of following, Fernandez allowed Costello to re-enter the ring in his own time. The action continued and the action again spilled out of the ring. This time Costello followed Fernandez and went after him with a chair. When Costello failed to heed the warning of the referee, he ordered Costello into the penalty box for two minutes. Heffernan was left to enter the ring in a two on one disadvantage. Von Raschke and Fernandez attempted to double team Heffernan, but he held his own and tagged Costello back in as soon as Costello was out of the penalty box. The action continued back and forth until Von Raschke and Costello were brawling outside the ring. The ref tried to get the action back inside the squared circle, but neither man obeyed and the ref ordered both men to the penalty box. Fernandez entered the ring quickly and went right after Heffernan. Fernandez gained the advantage quickly and made the pin following a FLYING BURRITO.

Post match: Fernandez is immediately attacked by Val Venis and Mr. Hughes. So Cal Val is directing traffic as Navajo Warrior suddenly sprints from the back to make the save and all four men brawl uncontrollably. It takes several minutes before order is restored.


FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE
Bruiser Brody vs. Abdullah The Butcher
This match was what everyone expected, total bedlam. The match started in the ring, but didn’t stay there long. Both men briefly brawled at ringside before the action made its way to the locker room, where Brody gained a near with a slam on the locker room floor. The action made its way back to the ring, where both men attempted to take a pound of flesh out of the other. The action again spilled out of the ring and both men battled up to the concourse, where Abdullah slammed Brody into a souvenir stand. Abdullah continued to pound Brody as the action again moved back to the ring. The action continued for several minutes as both men were now a bloody mess. Brody gained the advantage one final time and put Abdullah away with a one-handed body slam.

CPW WOMEN’S TITLE LUMBERJILL MATCH
Lumberjills: Ida Mae Martinez, Susan Green, Penny Banner, Mercedes Martinez, Racquel Ramirez, Michelle Jackson, Melina & Malia Hosaka
Iveliese vs. CPW Women’s Champion Jazz
This was a grueling back and forth match. Both women took advantage of having allies at ringside throughout the match, but in the end that’s also what cost the champ. Jazz rolled out of the ring after being pummeled by Iveliese only to be attacked by Mercedes Martinez and Melina. They rolled Jazz back into the ring, where Iveliese was waiting then delivered the DESERT EAGLE for the win.

CPW TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
D’Lo Brown & Redd Dogg vs. CPW Tag Team Champions Steve ‘Dr. Death’ Williams & Ted DiBiase
Williams overpowered both of his opponents early, but then seemed to run out of gas as Brown and Dogg utilized quick tags to keep Williams off balance. Williams finally made the tag and DiBiase took over. DiBiase maintained the advantage for several minutes, gaining a couple of near falls. Brown managed to battle back and the action continued back and forth for several minutes as it looked as if the challengers may pull it off, but the champs found a way as DiBiase pinned Dogg with a FULL POWER SLAM.

CPW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE STEEL CAGE MATCH
CPW TV Champion Tully Blanchard w/ Dark Menace vs. CPW Heavyweight Champion Big Van Vader
Vader crunched Blanchard in the corner as the opening bell sounded. Blanchard managed to battle back, but he didn’t hold the advantage for long as Vader overpowered him. Vader tossed Blanchard all around the cage, but Vader grew over confident. Vader thought it was over as he looked to finish off Blanchard with a MOONSAULT then leave the cage, but Vader missed and Blanchard took over again. Blanchard’s advantage didn’t last very long as Vader planted him with RELEASED POWER BOMB. Vader demanded that the cage door be opened, but as he was attempting to exit, Menace slammed the cage door into Vader, forcing Vader back into the ring, where Blanchard was waiting and decked Vader with a pair of brass knuckles. Vader went down hard, but Blanchard was showing signs of this brutal contest as well. Blanchard began to scale the cage, making it all the way to the top before Vader recovered and pulled him back down. The match continued back and forth, but Vader was not to be denied as he delivered a second RELEASED POWER BOMB. Vader then kicked the cage door open, sending Menace scattering as Vader quickly escaped the cage.

INTERVIEW: Larry Zbyszko w/ Dark Menace
Menace introduced Zbyszko as one of the new wrestlers to be under his employ. Zbyszko boasted about his in-ring acumen and that few can match it, so when it came to finding a manager, he needed someone who is as smart outside the ring as Zbyszko is inside the ring. Menace commented that Zbyszko is definitely a thinking man’s wrestler and Menace is a thinking man’s manager. Menace predicted it’s only a matter of time before Zbyszko has gold around his waist.


(Lesevern welcomed the fans back to the program and announced Dark Menace introduced his new team and what a team it is.)

Original Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey & Randy Rose) w/ Dark Menace vs. Blackjack Mulligan & Scott Casey
Before the match, Menace used quite a bit of pomp and circumstance when introducing his new tandem. Mulligan and Casey were unimpressed. Mulligan and Casey were all over OME, not giving either man room to breathe. Things looked bad until Menace distracted the ref and Condrey laid Casey out with Menace’s cane. Rose made the cover when the ref turned back around and OME stole a victory.

(Leseveren commented on how Dark Menace may be managing new men, but his tactics are still the same. He thanked the fans for watching and invited them to tune in next time.)

Patterson congratulated OME on their win in their debut a couple of weeks ago. Menace comments on how the tag team division is weak and his pair should have no problem shooting to the top. Condrey adds that if their debut match is any indication of the talent in the division, the Board of Directors may as well just strip the current champions of the belts and hand them over. Rose closes by saying he and Condrey have their eyes on the prize and the champs, and Williams and DiBiase best be looking over their shoulders because OME are ready to be champs.



(Leseveren welcomes the fans back to the program and comments on how much So Cal Val and her team relies on Strategy-X, and whether that is such a good thing or not.)
