The Weekend update
Notice to everyone who plans on reading this...long winded very detailed and boring. read Friday, and to go straight to the result of the PCWc show look for bold text. And of course the results are taken from PCW's website, but this time it is on the message board only.Friday, I went to work for 3 and a half hours. And my advisor said that for the most part, he sent my transcript and everything to a class credit auditor to find out if I did everything needed to graduate. The only problem is that they didn't get a reply from the person. But they think I have more than enough to graduate. I might email them in tomorrow to see if they heard back from whoever they sent my stuff into. I applied for graduation, but I don't want to say to someone I am getting my degree and find out that I won't. The reason is because to me that looks like a bad trust issue if a company wanted someone with a degree, but didn't have it yet and then find out they won't have it after they graduate...just doesn't look good in my mind. But that was Friday.
Saturday, I didn't have to work, and there was a PCWc show, Sonjay Dutt was there before heading overseas, and for the most part this is how everything went down.....
5:00 - I went there a while before the show because I know most of the people involved in PCW. I also wanted to find out if I could take my video camera and tape the show, but they quit allowing people to bring in video cameras.
5:35 - Oh well, but I went home got my digital camera (waste of time arena was took dark from where I was.) And then headed back to the location of the show. One of the bookers was extemely stressed out because Sonjay was running late and not at the building yet. But the fun for them didn't end here.
6:00 - I made it back, but didn't feel like trying to get into the ringside area because some other fans showed up.
6:30 - Doors open, and people went in. So I waited, paid and went inside. I got my seat which was not far from these fans...(picture was taken after the show by one of them, I am just posting it because these are those known as the "Disgruntled Fans", or "Dis Fans".)
7:00ish - It was probably a little after seven o' clock, but they were just about ready to start the show and all a sudden.....The power went out, and then came back on for a couple of seconds before completely just going black.
So here's the scenerio, you have 200 fans who paid to see a wrestling show, in an almost pitch black arena with the only thing for lights right now was the emergency lights. Also, no sounds because of a lack of power.
7:15 - I walked as carefully as possible down to the arena floor, because my spot was in the top roll. The arena can fit about 1100 people, so it is general seating for the most part. And I didn't feel like waiting til the emergency lights to start dimming down, and find out how it feels to fall down stairs. As well as I wanted to know what the hell was going. Come to find out that there wasn't any power for a couple of blocks.
7:30 - No power yet, and the booker that was nervous before...extremely now, why because Sonjay arrived in that time period and the power was down still. They wanted to get the show off any way possible. Someone announced the power outage and that Sonjay was there. That they plan on having the show still.
7:45 - Any way possible turned out sending out a couple of people to a store(not sure where) and telling the help at the store "I need a bunch of battery powered lights." Also, a cab pulled up and mentioned that the power was out for atleast 3 blocks down and something about seeing sparks from a light poll or telephone poll and it was probably a transformer problem. While in the ring another announcement about lights being purchased to get the show going even if there wasn't no power.
7:55 - They got to the store and called back to find out that still no power, and the booker found the sound guy because he knew a lot about lighting. So they figured out what was needed and the person was told "get the handheld spotlights and laterns and get a lot of batteries, and make sure they are the right type." At this point the disfans and others fans were doing anything to keep their mind off of no power and a delayed show. This included doing a special clap that the disfans will do every once in a while during a show.
8:10 - The people sent out gave a call saying they were close and that some of the power has been restored, and a wrestler in training was told to get the other trainees and have them ready. The people sent out drove right up to the entrance of the building and latern and lights were handed out and taken to a table where there was light from emergencies. We got 3 of the 4 laterns running. And all the spotlights going. At this point, Simply the Best, Hype Gotti and Babyface, were in the ring firing the crowd up.
8:20 - Trainees, wrestlers who haven't wrestled in a while, or not wrestling that night were out to get tables to put the laterns on. The three others with spotlights went to locations, but realized that it wasn't going to work out with peopl standing on the arena floor with the spotlights.
8:25 - Two others and I went around the arena and kept light on the ring, and shown light on the commissioner who came in, and went around the ring and to the table they are at.
8:30 - Lights came on, we who had spotlights turned them off and placed them on a stage at the end of the arena, turned off laterns, and placed them on the stage and moved table that had the laterns on them.
8:32 - There wasn't going to be sound for about 10 minutes, so the first match was a tag match and then wrestlers told to go out cut a quick promo to get their opponents out there. And thus the show began...
To say electricity was running rampant throughout the Temple of Pain on February 12, 2005 would be an understatement. Weather caused a power blackout for blocks around the temple. The entire crowd sat and waited for just over an hour and just as PCW staff had setup a make shift lighting system to allow some light to illuminate the building, the power came back on, and so did the show. PCW officials would like to send a huge Thank-you to all the fans in attendance for bearing with us during these unforeseen problems.
J-Crew vs. Simply The Best in a No-DQ Streetfight
STB came out first, then J-Crew ran in the ring and jumped them to start the match. It did not take long for these two teams to take the action out of the ring. For a couple of minutes they took the action into the Disgruntled Fans section. Draigo then asked fans around ringside to put their feet up on the railing and rammed Hype’s head into several of them. The action finally ended up back into the ring where STB, both with chairs in hand, whacked JT Wilcox on both sides of his head to get the 3 count. After the match JT had to be helped to the back.
Big Daddy Dolan vs. Hillbilly Skeeter
Before the match Dolan grabbed the mike and talked about the Family screwing him out of his title shot last show, and said he did not have a match, so he issued an open challenge to anyone in the back, and Skeeter accepted. Dolan dominated the first few minutes of the match totally brutalizing Skeeter with some of the meatiest sounding chops I have ever heard, causing Skeeter to bleed both on his chest and back from them. Dolan finally decided it was enough and hit Skeeter with the Dolan Driver, but only got a 2 count. Skeeter got Dolan reeling, but Dolan quickly shut down Skeeter again. He then gave Skeeter a vicious piledriver, but pulled Skeeter up at 2. Dolan then gave Skeeter another Dolan Driver, and then Mr. Baltezar came out. Baltezar was arguing with Mason, when Mr. White came from the crowd and hit Dolan with a foreign object. This allowed Skeeter to go upstairs and hit the Skeeter Bite for the 3 count. After the match Dolan told the PCW fans that he would get his revenge on Mr. White next show.
Strife & “The Passion” Zac James vs. Double Jeopardy
Cruz & Strife started off, but neither could get a clear advantage. Zac got tagged in and got double teamed. Cruz had his knee down and Daniels slammed Zac onto Cruz’s knee. Zac then got Cruz onto his shoulders and Strife got on the top rope. Strife poked Cruz’s eyes while The Passion slammed him to the mat. Strife then got sent sailing over the top rope. Cruz locked on a Rings of Saturn hold onto Zac and he tapped out.
Next “The Legacy” Jake Holmes came out to make an announcement. He said he has been out of action, but he would return to active competition on the next show Feb. 26th. Dimitri Kohlov came from a side entrance and leveled Holmes with a vicious lariat. Ricky Sprague came from the back to help Holmes and challenged Kohlov to a match.
Dimitri Kohlov vs. “The Tsunami Kid” Ricky Sprague
Ricky took to the offensive early by hitting Kohlov with some high impact moves, but Koloff ended this match quickly by hitting Sprague with a brutal DDT to put Ricky down for the 3 count. After the match Ricky, like JT Wilcox, had to be helped from the back and received applause from the crowd for his efforts.
The Pain Syndicate vs. Casanova & The Chippendale Kid for the PCW Tag Team titles
Nova and Max started with Nova wanting a test of strength, but switching hands all the time. Max got sick of it and kicked Nova in the gut. Nova then got Max down and tagged CnD. Nova did a running senton onto max then CnD jumped on the top rope and hit a flipping senton. Max then gave CnD a Vader Bomb and Abu gave him a jumping elbow drop, but CnD grabbed the ropes at 2. Nova and CnD both monkey flipped each other onto Max, but Max only was down for 2. The Pain Syndicate eventually hit their elevated leg clothesline finisher for the 3 count.
Christian Moore vs. “The Original Playa From The Himalya” Sonjay Dutt for the PCW Heavyweight title
Immediately after Sonjay was introduced Moore attacked him from behind. Moore sent Sonjay into the corner and after blocking some of Sonjay’s kicks, he got out of the corner and hit a beautiful float-over dropkick. Sonjay dropped an elbow off the top rope, but only got a 2 count. After a few more minutes of back and forth action, Sonjay hit a running shooting star press and pinned Christian Moore the become the new PCW Heavyweight champion. After the match Hype Gotti came from the back and attacked Sonjay. Hype said tonight was supposed to be a title shot for him, until Sonjay came and screwed things up. He issued a challenge to Sonjay for the title and he accepted.
Sonjay Dutt vs. Hype Gotti for the PCW Heavyweight title
Sonjay got to work quickly by hitting Hype with a Death Valley Driver and a suplex. Hype then connected with his Yakuza kick, but only got a 2 count. After regaining the advantage, Sonjay went up top and attempted to connect with his Hindu Press, but missed. Hype then rolled Sonjay up and with the help of a handful of tights, pinned Sonjay to become the new PCW Heavyweight champion. Sonjay got on the mike after the match and said he was screwed because of Hype Gotti and promised he will return to PCW to get his revenge.
What started as a potential disaster concluded in a night that will go down in PCW history. Sonjay Dutt came to PCW and won the heavyweight title only to have the title taken away from him by Hype Gotti. Simply The Best now holds both singles titles in PCW. Could they be looking to hold all the gold in PCW? Sonjay has promised that he will get revenge on Hype for his actions and that we will see him again soon in PCW. Make sure you make it to the PCW Temple of Pain(Masonic Temple), 9th & Nebraska St., Sioux City, IA, 7:00 pm bell time, on the 26th of February for the next show. BE THERE!
PCWInformer
Also, during the power outage period, I talked to a former co-worker about work and other stuff. They haven't worked there for about 6 months and were told by others before me that it wasn't worth it to go back.
Sunday, played Madden 2005 due to no more football for a while. :(
Today, I went to work was the only person in other than the manager, found out that another worker has been fired for no showing. And that the one who was fired earlier in the week, not the latest, was in jail for drug arrest. Personally, some people just have to learn the hard way the government is anal about throwing people into jail over drugs. And even though I wasn't impressed with this co-worker, I am going to feel sorry for them because of their skin color they are going to get screwed over. I try to stay as predijuce free as possible, but the law around here is another story.
