Reported By ~The Meatman~ on 1/12/03.

Welcome fans to the post match run-down for the January 11th NWA-APW show. I am your host, The Meatman. I'd like to take through the sights and sounds that made up an evening of extreme action.

The night started off with the GM, Chuck Pepper introducing the special guest announcer, none other than John "The Body" Johnson. John got the crowd fired up with a rousing welcome, and the first match hit the ring.

Match #1 Dangerous Donnie and Nightshade w/Oz
VS.
Krazy Kat and Corporal Chaos
Best 2 out of 3 falls
This match opened with The Dangerous one in the ring. Now fans picture if you will, a man who looks like he shops at the Ricky Morton retirement sale. After taking the stick and bad-mouthing pretty much everyone in attendance, the bell sounded and we got underway. The first fall was filled with wild action, and went back and forth with Donnie and Shade picking up the win. The second fall quickly got underway as things swung in favor of the man from Camp LeJune and the Kat, and they picked up the 3 count. The 3rd and final fall was quickly moving in the direction of Donnie and shade. Until a miscue from the outside, in the form of a cookie sheet to the head of Nightshade, courtesy of Oz. Fall 3 and the win to corporal Chaos and Krazy Kat. With the Victory Kat and Chaos hit the road, but that wasnt the end of the festivities. Donnie and Oz began putting the boots to nightshade, which ended with Donnie saying that Shade was the Weak link in their team, and his new partner would be Oz.

Match #2 El Satanico
VS.
Chris Ace
Tables Match
Our second match of the night, kicked off with Satanico taking the Mike and telling us, that he would put Chris Ace's FACE through the table. Ace hit the ring and the action hit the roof. This is a match that saw alot of back and forth action, with neither man taking control. Now I'm not going to say these guys are fast, that would be a discredit to them both, I really can't describe how fast this match went. Between Marking out and Covering my eyes all I can say is, it was over too quickly for my liking. After multiple misses from Satanico, and quite possibly one of the best moves i've ever seen, Top rope walk- dragon screw armwhip?, Satanico set up the table in the corner of the ring. But a reversed Irish whip, and Ace sent Satanico face first into the wood, BUT THE TABLE DIDN'T BREAK. So head official Murray, called for the match to continue. Ace set up Satanico for another whip, which Satanico reversed, sending Ace, FACE FIRST through the table. After the match Satanico climbed the ropes and reminded us of what he'd said, and yes Mr. Satanico, you did what you said you would. But You're still EEEVVIIIILLLLLL!!!!!!!
The end of this match brought us to our first intermission. At this point fans were allowed in the ring for photos with their favorite wrestlers. MaBo and Sydney insisted we get our picture taken with Krazy Kat (MaBo is a huge KK mark.) Thanks go out to John Johnson for the love shown to us, we love wrestling and its fun to be acknowledged for it! Thanks again John!
After the intermission, action resumed with John Johnson, Introducing the next match.

Match #3 The Chaos Brothers
VS.
Benin and Damascus
Best 2 out of 3 falls
This match opened with a little bit of drama, as Baine (one half of the Chaos brothers) got on the Mike. He stated that Murray had "Screwed him" the night before in Mobile, and he had his own ref for the match. After Murray got the boot, the bell rang and off we go. Once again this match went fast. Move after move led to the first fall going to Benin and Damascus. The Second fall got underway and went to The Chaos Brothers. The Final fall of the match got underway and appeared to be headed to Benin and Damascus, But a Run-in by the "Retired" Justin Valentine, and a superkick to the chin of Damascus, and 1 2 3..The Chaos brothers Advance to meet Krazy Kat and Corporal Chaos.

Match #4 Johnny 8 Ball
VS.
Whiplash
Extreme Championship Match
This match opened fast with neither man able to take control early on. It didnt take long for the weapons to come into play in this one. Between Barbed wire bats, Corn bread pans, Stop signs, Steel Chairs, Tables, Ladders and trash can lids, its a wonder either man could walk afterwards. This thing was filled with more high spots than I could even hope to remember. Some of the Highlights were a top rope cross body to the floor by whiplash, and a running backflip off the chair, onto a prone Johnny 8Ball on the floor. These 2 men laid it on the line, but in the end Whiplash came away with the Victory. Hats off to both men for one Hell of a match.

Match #5 Zero-X
Vs.
Hott Tubb
#1 contender for the Extreme Championship
This match opened with a little bit of subterfuge from the Hott Tubb. Apparently he had injured his shoulder and was medically unable to perform. That didnt stop him from coming to the ring with some eye candy and running is mouth, which Zero-X quickly shut, Via street sign to the head. At this point GM Chuck Pepper announced to Zero, You want a fight? You got one! Enter Justin Valentine. Like the match before it, this one was filled with highspots and hotshots. JV was on top of his game. This match quickly got out of control with 2 ladders in the ring. Action quickly moved out of the ring to the floor and into the crowd, with JV diving not once, BUT TWICE from the top of the ladder to the unconcious Zero-X. We also got to see a "Van Terminator" Courtesy of JV. But in the end, an X Factor from Zero-X proved to be the Winner. Once again, to both men, Fantastic match. 4****

Match #6 Main Event
Death Row
VS.
Sweet Daddy
Heavyweight Championship
We opened with Death Row on the Mike announcing that Sweet Daddy Was a no-show for the Evening. At that point he issued an open Challenge for anyone who wanted to take his title to come on down and get it. Finally a member of the audience stepped forward and challenged the Lunatic Champion. Death row told him if he could stay in the ring just 5 Minutes with him, He could have his title. "The Guy" I didnt get his n name, hit about 2 moves and the Big Man went Ballistic. Total carnage ensued with Death Row showing his disregard for "The Guy" by Kneeling on his neck, gouging his eyes, and basically making him Scream and Beg for Mercy. About 2 minutes in Chris Ace, came in from the back to stop the punishment, but he was followed by El Satanico, who had ideas of his own. Things rapidly broke down with Satanico, and Ace fighting outside the ring and Death Row, and "The Guy" in the ring. WIth the action outside getting a bit more heated, Death row decided to take a break from the Beating of "The Guy" and help Satanico destroy Ace. Coming from behind, he scooped Ace in what looked like an Atomic Drop, except that he proceeded to CARRY him to a table, which had been set up earlier, and launched the man through the table to floor. An impressive display of strength from the Heavyweight Champion to end the show.

That wraps up my post match review. I'd like to go ahead and give credit where it's due. Heres my personal Faves.

Best Match: This one is a toss-up between, Ace and Satanico, or Whiplash and 8Ball. I really can't say which was better because both were AWESOME!

Best Highspot: Van Terminator from JV to Zero-X. Killer spot to see at a live indy show.

Best Pop: Chris Ace. Being from Birmingham, and clearly a fan Fave, helps chris get this one.

Best Heat: Once again, Justin Valentine. Anyone who comes out to Brittney Spears, Oops I did it again, is gonna get blasted by the crowd. Also we know were number 1 justin, you dont have to remind us!

Thanks again to the Workers and Management of the APW for allowing me to be a small part of the excitement. To the fans of the APW, these guys are really very cool and approachable. They want you top enjoy the show. If you arent cheering or booing, they arent happy. Next show, lets turn it up to the next level. Bring the Noise, bring the heat, and most of all.. Bring a Friend. It's you in the crowd, that makes it all possible!
