OWW’s This Week in Wrestling – January 15, 2014
Empire Pro Wrestling – Long Cold Winter
January 4, 2014
Brother Fusion (Jason & Brandon Collins) vs. Johnny Viper & mystery partner Banks ended as a double count out. Viper introduced his tag team partner as someone who wouldn’t go into business for himself (referring to the recently suspended Seven) Banks, who was the former “Hired Muscle” of Jason Hampton was not confirmed as the newest member of the Cabal.
Double Dragons (KT & Keith Hamill) appeared on the video wall. Hampton approached the Dragons stating it was ridiculous that not only do they constantly get opportunities to regain the tag team titles, but they are also in a 30 minute Ironmen match tonight and he’s not on the card. He put Dragons on notice that if they win, he was going to find a good partner and come after those tag team titles.
Shaun Tempers approached Commissioner Ben Thrasher and said he wasn’t going to defend his Empire Heavyweight Title against Tank again because he had already given Tank not one, but two rematches and was not obligated to give him another. He told Thrasher he would go through with the match IF Tank and the Rev agreed that it would be the last shot for not only Tank, but any Devil’s Rejects past, present, or future.
Logan Alvey and Bobby Hayes fought all over the arena in their street fight. Alvey was able to kick out of Hayes piledriver. This led Hayes to piledrive the referee. Hayes continued to take his anger out on Alvey with an absolute brutal chairshot to the skull. A second ref appeared and made the three count. Logan Alvey was somehow barely able to walk out on his own two feet afterward.
The Rev and Tank appeared on the video wall. Tank had the dog collar and the chain in his hands as The Rev agreed to Tempers’ demands. Rev said this would be the only title shot Tank needed, but before he concluded his thoughts on the brutal match that was going to take place, Tank and Rev were attacked. The camera feed was cut immediately but a second camera soon picked up the commotion backstage. Security, referees, Thrasher, and former wrestler Rush were attempting to remove Bobby Hayes from the fallen body of Tank. Hayes had used a single blow to Tank’s skull with a hammer. Blood was everywhere as evident by the hands and clothing of fellow Reject, Andrew Alexander. Hayes demanded to take Tank’s place against Tempers for the Empire Title. Thrasher strongly denied the request which led to Hayes shouting “I QUIT” and storming out of the locker room.
The Best of the Best (Lamar Phillips & Dyron Flynn) retained the Empire Tag Team Titles over The Double Dragons (Keith & KT Hamill) in the first ever 30 Minute Iron Men Tag Team Match. DD won the first fall when BotB were disqualified for using a steel chair on the arm/shoulder of “The Chunky Dragon” Keith. Flynn then won back to back falls by making Hamill submit to the crossface chicken wing. After Keith was able to escape the clutches of the Best of the Best, KT scored a pinfall with less than one minute to go making the score 2-2. After the match ended as a draw, Thrasher conversed with referee Guy Hullender and ordered that there be a sudden death period. While the BotB argued this point on the stage, one the Empire security cards threw Keith out of the ring and attacked KT. The match was restarted and though KT was able to kick out after a double team Face Crusher/STO combo, he was unable to do the same after a spine buster from Phillips.
Tempers made his way to the ring with manager Steve Dave and exited after introducing “The Temptation”, as all members of The Cabal were banned from ringside. Confusion reigned. To the best to everyone’s knowledge, Tank would be unable to compete due to the attack by Hayes. After several moments, the familiar music of The Devil’s Rejects began to play, but The Rev lead the returning Alexander to the ring rather than “The Strong Style Psycho”.
Shaun Tempers (with Steve Dave) defeated Andrew Alexander (with The Rev) in a Dog Collar Match to retain the Empire Heavyweight Championship. Fans expected a Dog Collar Match and Thrasher did not disappoint. The champion was busted open and turned into a bloody mess fairly early on at the hands of Alexander and the connecting links of chain. After a nasty throw over the top rope and the challenger being hung by the chain, Tempers took control of the match. Tempers attempted to use the chain to pull Alexander into the post. Alexander reversed the momentum and smashed Tempers’ face into the post. After a fury of offense and an insane dive over the top rope, Alexander appeared to have the champion put away. However, Tempers was able to push Alexander into the referee. The Rev threw his staff over Tempers’ head, prompting Tempers to lay Rev out with a stiff punch to the jaw. Alexander knocked Tempers out of the ring but was unable to reach the staff. Tempers unhooked the dog collar from and grabbed the title belt from the announcer’s desk. This separation allowed Alexander to obtain the staff and use it on Tempers as he tried to strike with the title. Alexander opted to use the title instead of the staff and appeared to have the match won. As the referee came to and began to make the count, he noticed and questioned why Tempers was not attached by the collar. While Alexander reconnected the chain to Tempers’ neck and the ref set the title out of the ring, Tempers struck with a low blow and wrapped the chain around the throat of Alexander for his patented Kibosh Neckbreaker.
On the video screen, an Empire security guard asked Hampton what he thought, referring to his attack of the Double Dragons. Hampton asked if that was supposed to impress him. The guard’s answer was a stern “yes”. He was tired of Empire forcing him to be a security guard and not allowing him to show what he could do. He was a trained wrestler and if Hampton wanted a tag team partner, he had one and his name was Eli Thompson.
Ace Rockwell (with UTC football standout Gunner Miller) defeated “The Freakin Star” Matt Fortune (with Steve Dave) in an I Quit Match. Rockwell’s account of the match follows:
Matt and I started out brawling. It was stiff as shit. Spilled outside. I threw him over the rail. He’s extremely athletic and jumped as high as I’ve ever seen anyone jump outside of AJ. He went 3 rows deep and front flipped through chairs. Set up the coffin of chairs. Teased it. He blocked. He came back. Stiff kicks. Set up a table outside near the stage. Only one leg up. Table angled. Brawling on stage. I try suplexing him. He blocks. He tries. I block. He pushes me off…I run at him still on stage, He ducks clothesline, I spin around and he spears me off the stage through the table. I picked splinters out of my back until last night. Cuts and bruises on my back from that. His back got caught under it and it cut his hand up and mangled it up. Neither of us will say I quit after ref asks. Finally both of us back in the ring. He gets Dave’s belt. Straps me with it. Welts on my back. One actually wrapped around me and caught me in that area. I actually have a welt in that place. Not fun. He busts me open with the belt. Probably the best color I’ve ever gotten. He beats me up…stiff shots…submissions. Ref asks over and over if I will quit because Matt keeps on him. I won’t quit. I mount a small comeback that puts us on the apron. Trade shots on apron, and I hit the Ace Crusher off the apron through the coffin of chairs. Holy shit/this is awesome chants break out. Very cool. As a wrestler, nothing better to hear. Neither quit. Back in ring, I put the Scorpion on him. Dave up on apron. Gunner Miller chases Dave out. Viper runs out and hits me with a version of the Zig Zag. Miller in the ring behind Viper. Viper turns around and gets speared. Huge crowd reaction. Miller pounds the mat. Ace chants. Matt grabs belt. Straps me while I work up the ropes. I eventually no sell. He swings the belt. I duck. Airplane spin….set him down…cross face with the belt around his eyes…he finally says I quit. Loved the match. Couldn’t have asked for more. Crowd was white hot. Makes you know why you wanted to be a pro wrestler. Awesome night.

Bonus Match: AR Fox, Shynron, and Casey Kincaid vs. Bobby Moore, Chip Day, and Sylar Cross
There were so many beautiful spots in this match, I simply sat back and decided to take it all in. Casey Kincaid pinned Chip Day and it was electric. The crowd went insane. The crowd is nuts for the idea of Casey and Chip in a steel cage at the next show.
