PWL THUNDERCAT MEMORIAL SHOW

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2002 - ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

Announcers: MIKE HOFFMAN, GENE WEST, and MADAME.

OPENING MATCH, 3-on-2 Grudge Bout:

THE FABULOUS HORNER BROTHERS ("Tricky" Tom, "Huge" Eugene, and Dr. Joe, with Mother Horner) defeated BUTCH and BAMM-BAMM (with Mrs Pinkus) at 7'13" when Eugene pinned Butch. Though it was not officially a no-holds-barred contest, referee Giles Rhys Ipswich allowed any and all weapons to be used. The Horners won utilising that dreaded Turster Roaster.

SECOND MATCH:

THE GRITHER pinned CURLEY TEMPLE at 9'33". Temple's downfall was his attempt to perform wrestling manuevers from his admittedly limited repertoire. Grither had no time for such games, and felled Curley with a shoulderblock to the left leg.

THIRD MATCH, LADIES' WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP:

DARK CRYSTAL barely escaped with her championship, securing a victory at 6'58 when challenger WEEZIE rather unfortunately twisted her ankle after devastating Crystal with a dropkick through the ropes and onto the floor. Crystal stormed back into the ring, hoping to make Weezie pay dearly, but referee Randolph S Tulley called the match due to injury. A rematch is definitely in the works.

FOURTH MATCH, WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:

Placed in this bout almost as an afterthought, FENWICK GRENCHER stunned fans and pundits alike by defeating IGGY SHROYER via pinfall at 13'09" to win the World cruiserweight championship. Grncher seemed genuinely surprised by his titlw win and called it "the greatest moment of my life. The next will be when I destroy Bruno." To whom he was referring remains unclear as of this writing.

FIFTH MATCH:

In a brilliant match pitting two big brawlers, "Kingpin" WILSON FISK defeated WHOLE LOTTA MAN at 10'12" via knockout, as ruled by referee Riggs Mannley.

MASHED POTATO EGG SURPRISE:

MASHED POTATO promised everybody a big surprise, and he delivered! Before he presented his Egg, he introduced the fans to the one who halped make it possible: The One and Only CHEWBACCA! Chewbacca received a rousing ovasion from the crowd, shook Mashed Potato's hand, and looked genuinely pleased that he would spread some joy with the Egg Surprise. Indeed, the fans were overjoyed to see the latest surprise, Chewbacca's old friend C-3PO! That joy turned to horror, though, as Threepio unleashed a barrage of profanities and insults directed toward St. Louis wrestling. "I was nearly murdered down in Mexico because of St. Louis wrestling, and you all laughed at my misery. Well, I fully intend to make each and every one of you pay for that legal and moral offense." In front of everybody, C-3PO disgracefully punched out Chewbacca and threw him into the side of the Egg. Several of St. Louis' finest carted C-3PO away as Mashed Potato and several PWL Suits tended to the fallen Chewbacca. It should be noted that Madame cackled and brayed approvingly throughout the assault.

SIXTH MATCH, NORTH AMERICAN TAG CHAMPIONSHIP:

TANKA SATCHMO and RUSSELL BRUTE (with Mondo Mbamba) defeated SHAGGY and FREDDY at 11'36" to capture the North American tag championship. It was a surprisingly one-sided affair, as Satchmo and Brute was bound and determined to get them some gold. Tanka Satchmo pinned Freddy for the win. For the record, Shaggy and Freddy remain International tag champions.

SEVENTH MATCH, NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:

A five-day title reign was ended here, as BEN TRAYMOR pinned NA champ HUMAN TORNADO in 12'49" to win his first championship in the PWL. Traymor and the fans were moved when JOE THE GIANT passed along congratualtions via satellite from his Emu Farm.

EIGHTH MATCH, WORLD TAG CHAMPIONSHIP:

THE NEW ORDER (General Zod and Non) put themselves atop the tag team scene once again, soundly disposing of AA (Justin Toxicated and Al Coholic, with John Barleycorn) in 7'37" to reclaim the World tag championship. Non pinned Toxicated to win the straps for Zod and himself.

NINTH MATCH, MAIN EVENT, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP:

World champion EXTERMINANS took on SCHOOLHOUSE ROCKY in this rematch from the 2002 Puke Cup show. As that match ended inconclusively, fans were eagerly anticipating a clear-cut winner in this bout. As you saw, of course, that did not happen. Referee Maurice Boyce-Root disqualified both men at 23'10" after repeated fouls and flagrancies. The fans emerged discouraged with the result, but happy they would see this brilliant feud continue.
