Every other day it was physical therapy for eight hours straight: he had to get back into the ring, everyone said, and soon. He got calls everyday asking about when he would return, and it had only been a month. He kept up with the pro wrestling world, of course, reading the insider newsletter ‘TEW’ every week. The promotion he was most interested in: the El Paso Wrestling Association.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> His was enamored by there current top star, who had recently been crowned double EPWA El Paso City and TPA Southern Heavyweight champion, Chino Achiu, as well as their top heels Charro Aguayo and Hugh Nichols. He was heavily involved in the current nation-wide industry leader NWA, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t make some money in Texas upon his return. He could sense the winds of fortune in the rising EPWA, and even though he only had one appearance left in his loan-PPA contract with them, he could easily see him returning. He would have to, at the very least, to teach that upstart Achiu who the real biggest star in America was.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> He needed a closer look, he decided, and so he had bought a ticket to EPWA’s upcoming ‘Weekly Catch VI,’ and a disguise so as to not be recognized. It would be at least interesting, Jim Londos hoped.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46531" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="IywDXkS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IywDXkS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong><span style="font-size:14px;">El Paso Wrestling Association presents:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">EPWA Weekly Catch VI</span></strong></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 4, January 1934</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Sled Allen’s Arena</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Otis Clingman vs. Joe Parelli</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Semi-Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Ray Ryan vs. Cyclone Mackey</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> Third Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Gorilla Poggi vs. Paul Harper</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> Second Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> The Dogs vs. Luis de la Torre & Tiger Miller</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Opening Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Yaqui Joe vs. ‘King’ George Gastrovich</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Pre-Show Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Eddie Brock vs. Doug Marcel</span></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>

Malvado will not be denied, however, and following a stealthily placed low-blow rolls Miller up for a quick victory to a chorus of boos in his debut. Not that Malvado seems to mind, as he pops back up and bows sarcastically to the crowd.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Rey Malvado via pinfall, following a low-blow</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="w8VFaW2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/w8VFaW2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="sM5vd7J.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sM5vd7J.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2ZTt6RA.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2ZTt6RA.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="8rSIBf9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8rSIBf9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ofoviKx.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ofoviKx.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">The crowd goes wild as all-star Chino Achiu and Joseph G. “The Biz” Kenney hit the ring. The announcer interviews the double-champion, asking him why he decided to allow the despised ‘Kommandandt’ Wolff a title shot. Achiu says that he is sick and tired of all the bullies in EPWA, and the Kommandant seems like the easiest way to make a big statement; he hopes by pinning Wolff in the center of the ring and kicking him, battered and bruised, to the back, other ‘thugs’ like Ray Ryan, Joe Parelli, and ‘The Dogs’, will be less inclined to cheat. But while a title-shot, asks Kenney, why not just face him in the ring with no belt on the line? Achiu laughs the question off, saying that he is a fighting champion who promises to never fight a singles bout in EPWA without defending both of his titles, or anywhere else without defending the TPA belt. Kenney noticed how Achiu left Charro Aguayo out of his diatribe on the heels of EPWA, and so he presses the double-champion on his rivalry. Achiue brushes him off, saying ‘Charro won’t be around much longer,’ and that ‘if he was worth anything at all, he’d be the champions right now.’ Kenney asks if Aguayo will ever go against him for the titles, and Achiu, laughing, tells him not to hold his breath; ‘He’s got to prove himself again and earn a shot like everybody else.’ The crowd goes crazy for their cocky champion throughout the interview, and as Chino ends the segment by wishing Otis Clingman good luck in the main event, thanking the crowd, promising them a long reign, and bowing, the crowd lets him know how they feel with a chorus of cheers.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="NepfelE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NepfelE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="Qitlkxc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Qitlkxc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">VS.</span></strong> <img alt="1kSKOK3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1kSKOK3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Opening Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Joe Parelli vs. Bob Steele</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">In the first bout of the show ‘proper,’ Joe Parelli looks for a strong victory and some small momentum after being eliminated by Charro Aguayo in the first battle royal at ‘Catch II’ and losing with tag partner Ray Ryan to Swede Larson and Walter Stratton at ‘Catch IV.’ Bob Steele doesn’t put up too much of a fight, however, as was predicted by the crowd, who let out a collective, disappointed sigh while Steele flailed around in the middle of the ring as he was contorted into various different submission holds. Finally, after staying alive for a lot longer than anyone thought and even managing to get a little crowd support for a possible rope-break, Steele is dragged back to the center of the ring and taps out to Parelli’s ‘Figure Four’.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Joe Parelli via submission</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="p0ngvUc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p0ngvUc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="oD7imE0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oD7imE0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zcS39tn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zcS39tn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="08VzGmm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/08VzGmm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BVyTqMv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BVyTqMv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Second Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> The Dogs vs. Stanley Rogers and Doug Marcel</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">The Dogs are looking to further their tag team streak against the new team of Stanley Rogers, not seen since being eliminated by Jack Russel at the second battle royal at ‘Catch III,’ and Doug Marcel, not seen in a month since losing to ‘Kommandant’ Wolff at ‘Catch I.’ The more experienced tag team of Mike ‘The Pitbull’ McGuire and The Bulldog find themselves up against a surprising wall in Rogers and Marcel, as Roger’s mat game proves to almost rival McGuire’s. Tiring out, McGuire tags in the Bulldog, but Rogers stays in the ring, crouching down and looking to continue the grappling. The Bulldog feigns that he wants to lock up, only to kick Rogers in the gut and send him flying into the ropes to deliver a vicious shoulder tackle. As Roger’s stumbles around he realizes that he may have been better served tagging in Marcel, and his fears are justified as he gets hit with a trio of German suplexes from the Bulldog. Marcel is screaming for a tag, but as Rogers slowly rises to his feet, dazed, the Bulldog tags McGuire back in to come in and apply his Strangle Hold, leaving Marcel no choice but to tap.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winners: The Dogs via submission on Doug Marcel from Mike ‘The Pit Bull’ McGuire</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="CVCijCy.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CVCijCy.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="Wmb9PAU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Wmb9PAU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="dF4UOhu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dF4UOhu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Third Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Ray Ryan vs. Luis de la Torre</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Luis de la Torre looks to keep his momentum rolling after beating Eddie Brock at ‘Catch II’ and earning a shock-victory over Gorilla Poggi at ‘The Beginning,’ by beating the much bigger name Ray Ryan. The two begin with the classic lock-up, but de la Torre is rightfully wary dealing with known cheater and wisely dodges a sneaky low-blow, successfully punishing Ryan with a stiff kick. de la Torre runs the ropes to gain some speed and deliver a clothesline, but Ryan wasn’t as dazed as his opponent thought and uses de la Torre’s momentum against him, tripping him and sending him face first into the floor. Ryan continues his assault, stomping on de la Torre before picking him up and brutalizing him for several minutes. Ryan hits a particularly savage full nelson suplex and attempts the pin, but the masked man shows true grit and kicks out at two and a half, to the crowd’s delight. Ryan screams in frustration and decides enough is enough, viciously poking de la Torre in the eyes as he pulls him off the mat, then rolling him up with a hand full of tights for good measure.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Ray Ryan via pinfall, following a double eye poke and a roll up with a handful of tights</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="CVCijCy.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CVCijCy.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="Wmb9PAU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Wmb9PAU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dF4UOhu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dF4UOhu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">After the match, Ryan decides de la Torre has not suffered enough, and continues the beat down.

He called Ryan out at ‘The Beginning’ after losing to him due to some violent shenanigans, and he seems to be out for some revenge tonight. Ryan sees Mackey approaching and bounces before the face can get to him, leading to boos and jeers from the crowd. Mackey takes to the mic and says that although EPWA has rejected his challenge to Ryan for a never-before-seen no-DQ match, (cue crowd boos) he still wants Ryan one-on-one again. Next week, he says, you’ll see the rematch: Ray Ryan vs. Cyclone Mackey! And this time, he won’t take no for an answer! The crowd cheers and rumbles with excitement.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="dO2SmCQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dO2SmCQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="8rSIBf9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8rSIBf9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="wTuyhhb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wTuyhhb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="2ZTt6RA.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2ZTt6RA.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="ofoviKx.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ofoviKx.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Semi-Main Event:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> EPWA El Paso City Championship/TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Bout</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Chino Achiu © vs. ‘Kommandant’ Franz Wolff</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Although the double champion justified his decision to grant the deplorable German Nationalist a titles shot at the beginning of the show, the crowd still seems a little peeved at the opening of the match, knowing the slim chance exists that they’re looking at the next champion in ‘The Kommandant,’ especially with the fascist’s cheating ways, surprisingly impressive mat acumen, and size advantage. Achiu doesn’t seem too concerned, however, as he locks up with a cocky grin on his face. For all his antics in the past, Wolff plays this one incredibly straight and serious, though, appearing to give the match his all and for his efforts managing to catch Achiu off-guard and subject him to a picture-perfect schoolboy roll-up, holding the champion tight to mat and earning a shocking two-and-nine-tenths count. Achiu kips up after he manages to escape, with no smile on his face. From there on Wolff finds his momentum crushed as Achiu reverses another pinning attempt in the Alligator Clutch into a vicious armbar, and Wolff screams for a few minutes as Achiu tears his arm off. Finally deciding he’s done enough damage, Achiu lets go of the hold and lets Wolff retreat to the corner and clutch his arm before pulling him up and whipping him into the ropes, hitting a drop kick on the rebound. The champ follows it up with another drop kick, and the crowd cheers as Achiu drags the much bigger man up for what they anticipate to be his release-German finisher. Instead, Achiu grins, and whips Wolff into the corner to deliver a third, brutal dropkick to the corner, clearly in reference to Achiu’s perennial rival Charro Aguayo, who wrestles in the main event tonight. With that, the crowd favourite rolls up perhaps the most despised man in EPWA and earns his second defense of both titles, having of course defended the EPWA El Paso City Championship once against Hugh Nichols, and having defended the TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship for the first time just yesterday against Glen Wade at Gulf Athletic Club’s ‘Live Wrestling.’</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Chino Achiu via pinfall.

The crowd goes wild as Achiu throws the mic at the downed Wolff and leaves with a glare behind his mask, showing, he hopes, the rest of the cheatin’ locker room that the champ ain’t messin’ around.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="NepfelE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NepfelE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="X4Po6l2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/X4Po6l2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">VS.</span></strong> <img alt="E2faBt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/E2faBt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Main Event:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Charro Aguayo vs. Otis Clingman</span></strong></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">The main event this week proves to be a hot one, as the crowd goes wild for the men’s entrances. Clingman, not seen since he was shockingly eliminated by Jack Russel in the battle royal match at ‘Catch III,’ is obviously looking to build some serious momentum by taking out the man who semi-main evented ‘The Beginning:’ Charro Aguayo. Aguayo, for his part, has to answer for some serious questions the fans have been asking since his loss to Chino Achiu in the EPWA El Paso City Championship match at ‘Catch IV,’ does Charro have what it takes to be champ? Can he do it when it really counts? Will he always be stuck playing second-fiddle to Chino Achiu and Hugh Nichols? Even though Aguayo beat Yaqui Joe in the semi-main event at ‘The Beginning,’ he still has a lot to prove, and he knows it. Both men show their intense fire nearly immediately, as after just a half minute lock-up that goes nowhere they just start slapping the shit out of each other. Clingman gains the upper hand after a stiff strike to Aguayo’s chest sends the luchador to the ground, and Otis wastes no time in pressing his advantage, lifting Aguayo up and delivering a signature Body Slam remarkably early. Charro hasn’t suffered nearly enough however and kicks out of a pin attempt at one, shifting the balance and putting Clingman in a pinning predicament of his own. Clingman manages to stay smooth and after a one count shifts the balance back onto Aguayo. The two men roll around a few more times, getting closer and closer to three, before Aguayo earns an impossibly close near-fall and Clingman jumps up and away, the exhaustion showing on his face. Aguayo doesn’t look much better, but the two men don’t slow down, and the bout shifts into a high-paced quest for both men to land their finishing maneuvers, full of drop kicks and body slams. Aguayo manages on a particularly vicious drop kick to send Clingman tumbling onto the floor, and in EPWA’s first ever dive-spot, Aguayo runs the ropes and vaults himself over and onto a downed Clingman. The crowd murmurs with nervousness and boos as Aguayo carries a stunned Otis Clingman back into the ring and positions him in the corner to deliver his finishing corner drop kick. Before he executes the mover, however, Aguayo slaps Clingman hard in his already red chest, harkening to the beginning of the match, and then runs to the other corner. The slap did not have the desired effect, we find, as it seemed to awaken Clingman into a realization of his situation and he shakes his head several times before dodging the corner drop kick. With Aguayo writhing on the floor after missing the move, Clingman shakes off the last of his wooziness and flips his opponent over to apply the standard Boston Crab for a minute or two before transitioning the agonized Aguayo into Clingman’s finisher, the One-Legged Crabhold submission, for another brutal minute before Charro finally breaks and taps.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Otis Clingman via pinfall</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="P1yEvBo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P1yEvBo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="E2faBt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/E2faBt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Post-match, the crowd cheer for Otis Clingman as he poses and smiles, chanting his name. The victor hops on the mic, saying that this was only the beginning for him; he plans on beating every name EPWA throws at him, no matter how big! This may be the beginning for him, he says, but for his opponent Charro Aguayo, this is the end. The man just can’t get it done; in every main event he comes up second and has only won a handful of singles matches in EPWA against the ‘big names.’ Big names like his own, Otis Clingman! The crowd cheers for the rising star, but ringside Aguayo seems pissed off...</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="2LmoMRG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2LmoMRG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="X4Po6l2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/X4Po6l2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="E2faBt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/E2faBt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">...and the luchador acts on his anger, jumping Otis from behind and laying him out! Charro spends the next few minutes beating down the man who moments ago he submitted to, snarling and screaming as he gets his anger out. Seemingly satisfied, Aguayo flips off the crowd, who are roaring at him at this point, and retreats to the back, leaving Clingman in the middle of the ring to be helped up by the ring hands.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="2LmoMRG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2LmoMRG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Show Rating:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="P1yEvBo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P1yEvBo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Friday, Week 3, 1934</strong></span></p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Jack Dempsey was ridin’ high. ‘Weekly Catch V’ had been another sold-out show, and although it may not have been his best show, it set up a multitude of possibilities for the upcoming month. Achiu continued to cement himself as the double-champion, Charro Aguayo only got more interesting, the Dogs continued their tag-team ascent, Mackey and Ryan got their midcard feud even hotter, and Otis Clingman made a huge impression in the main event, pushing him even closer to true super-stardom alongside Achiu, Aguayo and Nichols. Even in the pre-show as the crowd was filing in, ‘Rey Malvado’s’ debut was a success, despite his rather passé name.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Now that was a strange situation. Dempsey had never even heard of the aspiring Mexican wrestler before he came knocking at the EPWA office doors, demanding a shot. Once Dempsey saw him work, he new he would fit in and although he wasn’t anything too special now, he would develop into a great worker, Dempsey would see to that. The booker hadn’t even planned on giving the luchador a mask, already having four masked men on the roster in Luis de la Torre, the Bulldog, Charro Aguayo, and of course the champion Chino Achiu, but the wrestler had insisted on the idea, crafting an entire gimmick around the black-masked character that ultimately culminated in his intimidating name. Dempsey like the kid, that much was certain, and for all the creative ideas in the boy’s head, his debut match had proved to be a lot better than what he displayed in the practice ring, which wasn’t bad, even if it wasn’t anything to write home about.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> The TPA situation had cleared up nicely as well; even though he had to deal with constant phone calls from the other eight promotions in the league for a week straight following Achiu’s shock title win, he eventually smoothed things out and hammered out a sort of peace, although the association would definitely be keeping him and McIntosh on a much shorter leash going forward. There were no plans to get the title off Achiu, as far as Dempsey knew, so he could keep running with the ‘double-champion’ gimmick until the thing ran its course.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> With a general plan in place for the big matches at this month’s ‘big event,’ Dempsey sat down at his dimly lit desk to hammer out the rest of the month’s ‘Catch’s.’</span></p>
  5. Damn, didn't expect THAT in the main event. Extremely excited for War for Territory #22, and especially Where It All Begins Again. I could easily see it going either way in the main event, and I'm sure the next show will only increase that factor.

He didn’t know what to think, and he couldn’t control what he felt. The past week had been a rollercoaster; first he found out Achiu was to be crowned inaugural EPWA champ, not him, then he had to actually lay down for the chump. He got a big victory at ‘The Beginning,’ however, but his second-rate status was cemented in the main event as the man who just beat him went on to secure a second title against the promotion’s #1 heel, Hugh Nichols. He should be in that spot, he thought. He didn’t mind losing, as long as was still the top heel, but even he knew that wasn’t the case.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> And with no one to confide in in America, much less El Paso City, Charro Aguayo turned to the liquor, more than his peers.

  12. Chapter XI and EPWA The Beginning Chapter XI Saturday, Week 2, January 1934 Jack Dempsey was giddy with excitement for the night’s proceedings. He, at least, thought his booking was incredibly imaginative, and he hoped that would translate to at least a smaller loss for the company. The fact the show was still being held at Sled Allen’s Auditorium certainly wouldn’t help that cause, but John was right: better safe than sorry. The TPA unfortunately hadn’t given him permission to put their title on the line as they didn’t want a double champion, so Dempsey decided not to put the EPWA title up for grabs so as to not make ‘his’ belt seem more important than the TPA’s, angering them even further. But he was still determined to provide an amazing pro wrestling show, and staring down at his long-completed book, he would do just that. El Paso Wrestling Association presents: EPWA The Beginning Saturday, Week 2, January 1934 Sled Allen’s Auditorium 1,400 attendees (sold-out) Before the show begins, newly minted EPWA El Paso City Champion Chino Achiu makes his way to the ring to thunderous applause, where he grabs a mic. Fired up, he tells the audience that it is no fault of his own tonight’s main event is not for either title; no, it was Hugh Nichols who wanted to keep the bout title-free! To Achiu, this is clear evidence that Nichols is afraid of him, and so he wants to clear the record by saying that Chino Achiu does not fear Hugh Nichols and is more than willing to put his title on the line tonight, even if Nichols will not. Smiling and waving to the red-hot crowd as he leaves, the new champ seems confident as ever. VS. Opening Bout: Dory Delton and Frenchy Leavitt vs. Young Sampson and Jack Russel Featuring competitors on both sides who lost in the No1 contender battle royals, all these men have something to prove. Sampson and Delton start the match, and Sampson punishes Delton immediately, slamming him to the floor and hitting him with a standing press. Delton dives for the hot tag, but somehow misses Leavitt’s outstretched hand and is pulled back into the center by Sampson, who hits a standard suplex before tagging in his own partner Jack Russel. Russel continues the beat down on Delton for several minutes before Leavitt has seen enough and comes in to interfere. Young Sampson meets him in the ring and tackles him to the ground, but not before the distraction allows Delton to slide under the bottom ropes and flee. Sampson returns to his position while Russel and Leavitt mat wrestle, even though Leavitt is not the legal man. Eventually Leavitt finds an opportunity to hit a clothesline, and with the time he bought he returns to Delton and tags himself in, returning to Russel to roll the older man into a schoolboy and win the match. Winners: Frenchy Leavitt and Dory Delton via pinfall on Jack Russel VS. Second Bout: Gorilla Poggi vs. Luis de la Torre In the first singles match of the night, masked luchador Luis de la Torre took on the larger but less experienced Gorilla Poggi, looking to make a big name for himself. De la Torre spends the majority of the match dodging Poggi’s attempts to get ahold of him, knowing a slam or two from the more powerful man is all between him and defeat, and picking his spots carefully, to the crowd’s chagrin as the match comes off a little boring. Slowly having his legs whittled down with basement dropkicks and knee shots, a frustrate Poggi does eventually manage to get his hands on de la Torre, delivering a vicious back body drop followed by a standing leg drop. The wind knocked out him, de la Torre looks down for the count before rolling out of the way of a second leg drop, hopping to his feet to deliver a dropkick to Poggi’s head, causing the big man to lose his balance and come crashing down, allowing de la Torre to hit the brutal first rope leaping senton and miraculously cover Poggi for the win. Winner: Luis de la Torre via pinfall With his competitors in the ring, its time for Mike McGuire to reveal his ‘official’ tag team partner. Although he gained a victory with Ted Cristy, McGuire says, he is now injured, so he will have to go with another competitor, one he seemed to ‘click’ with more anyhow... The Bulldog! The crowd, and Swede Larson and Walter Stratton, groan as McGuire and the Bulldog make a big show of shaking hands and declaring their alliance. Back on the mic, McGuire declares they will be called “The Dogs,” as his new nickname will be Mike “The Pit Bull” McGuire! After that remark, even the Bulldog looks at McGuire suspiciously, so he gets rid of the mic and calls for the match to get underway. VS. Third Bout: The Dogs vs. Swede Larson and Walter Stratton Both of these teams had victories at ‘Weekly Catch IV,’ and both of them are looking to continue the momentum into the future and become early foundations in a burgeoning tag division. “The Pit Bull” begins against Stratton, and the two lock up in the center of the ring. After several minutes of trading holds and testing each other go nowhere, they both decide they’re tired and tag in their fresh partners. The Bulldog and Larson have a bit of a different match, hitting each other with hard slaps and strikes until one submits. The Bulldog manages to force Larson back due to the pain on his red chest, and uses the opportunity to land a pair of release German suplexes. The Bulldog spend too long celebrating to the crowd, however, and Larson manages to tag in Stratton, who comes in relatively fresh and after a minute of jostling manages to hit the Bulldog with his own signature move in the cradle press, then sink in his hammerlock submission. The Bulldog looks like he’s going to tap before McGuire rushes in to clock Stratton in face, freeing the Bulldog help McGuire deliver a power bomb, then tag out once they return to their corner. With Stratton dazed, McGuire sizes him up for his swinging neckbreaker finisher, and once Stratton gets back on his feet McGuire lands the move and scores the pinfall for his debuting ‘official’ tag team. Winners: The Dogs via pinfall on Walter Stratton Before the next match can get under way, TPA champion Hugh Nichols hits ring to a chorus of boos. Holding up his hands smugly, he says that yes, it was him who said his and Chino Achiu’s match should be title-free. That does not mean, however, that he is scared of him, anything but, in fact he was only looking out for Achiu as he did not want to embarrass the new champ so fully on his very first title defense! But now Chino has ‘laid down the law,’ and given Nichols no choice. He, also, will put his title on the line, that’s right folks, tonight’s main event will now be a winner-take-all champion vs. champion bout! Dropping the mic, Hugh Nichols leaves the ring for the first time to cheers, though no one thinks for a second they’re for him. VS. Fourth Bout: Paul Harper vs. “Kommandant” Franz Wolff Former TPA champ Paul Harper looks to get his revenge on Franz Wolff for a humiliating loss at ‘Weekly Catch IV,’ and comes into the match fired up. Wolff seems ready to lock up, but Harper kicks him in the shin and then slams him to floor, immediately forcing him into an armbar. Wolff struggles for a few minutes before he reaches the ropes and looks at his opponent with all-new eyes as the match begins again. Predicting Harper’s aggressive move at his left arm, Wolff manages to use Harper’s momentum against him and throw him onto the ground this time, sinking in his own abdominal stretch. The move doesn’t last very long, however, before Harper manages to reverse it into his killer headlock sleeper, causing Wolff to spastically attempt to free himself. Harper believes that he has won the match, but Wolff was really just positioning them away from the ref, and pokes Harper in the eyes before smoothly maneuvering into his backbreaker submission and forcing the blind Harper to tap. Winner: Franz Wolff via submission, following a double eye-poke VS. Fifth Bout: Cyclone Mackey vs. Ray Ryan Cyclone Mackey may have the age and experience advantage going into this match, but Ray Ryan has the size advantage and is also a known cheater. Knowing the sort of character he is dealing with, Mackey is wary to approach Ryan but eventually locks up with his opponent, leading to him being pushed to the ground. Ryan doesn’t seem to have any mat acumen, however, and on the floor Mackey is able to turn things around and throw Ryan into a signature crabhold submission at an early stage in the match. Ryan struggles for a few minutes before reaching the bottom rope and breaking the hold. Mackey rolls away and beckons to Ryan to lock up again. Ryan has other plans however, instead rolling under the ropes and taking a breather outside. Not content with letting his opponent recuperate, Mackey chases him to the outside, only to get tripped and go crashing into the ring steps. While the referee can’t see, Ryan pulls a metal bar from under the ring and puts it in Mackey’s mouth, then stomps his head. Blood seeping out of his mouth and a tooth left on the outside floor, a dead-eyed Mackey is rolled back into the ring and pinned. Winner: Ray Ryan via pinfall, following the use of an illegal object After he has regained his senses and a smirking Ryan has fled to the back amid boos, shouts, and thrown trash, Cyclone Mackey takes to the mic, talking through his bloody mouth as he calls out Ryan for his cheating ways, challenging him to a bout where no one can cheat: EPWA’s first-ever no-DQ match! This way, Mackey reasons, he can use the same tactics as Ryan without sullying his conscious. Be it on ‘Weekly Catch’ or the next monthly event, Mackey wants Ryan, and he wants him unfair and unsquare. VS. Semi-Main Event: Charro Aguayo vs. Yaqui Joe The losers of ‘Catch IV’’s main and semi-main events respectively, Charro Aguayo and Yaqui Joe seem to be jockeying for EPWA’s ‘#3’ in this match, a position to be all the more coveted now that the main event will see a double champion crowned. The two lock up to a red-hot crowd following the night’s events, and for several minutes the crowd is all-in on which of the two will be able to gain an upper hand. Finally, Aguayo is able to Irish whip Joe into the corner and deliver his signature corner drop kick shockingly early, although the move has a less potent effect than it may have later in the match, and Joe regains his senses fast enough to narrowly dodge Aguayo’s attempt at a second drop kick. After Charro is sent crashing onto the ground Joe finds an opportunity to sink in his knee bar & toe hold combination, wrenching at Charro’s foot. Aguayo shows his mat acumen, however, as after a minute of struggling his is able to maneuver out of the hold and transition into a position to once again hit his dropkick. Aguayo grabs ahold of Joe’s hand, dragging him up and jumping up onto the second rope to perform the el Rey de Tope, slamming Aguayo onto the floor. Before Aguayo can land another dropkick however, the desperate Joe catches him and sinks in another submission hold, the hammerlock. Aguayo struggles much harder to escape this hold, and in the end is unable to simply reverse it and can only barely touch the bottom rope with his foot. Back on his feet after a few minutes’ breather, Aguayo dodges a clothesline from Joe and tries his hand at a German suplex, a popular move in EPWA. Although the move is sloppy, it seems effective, and Aguayo pulls Joe onto his feet, knocked out, and delivers yet another dropkick which to earn himself the pinfall victory. Winner: Charro Aguayo via pinfall After the match, winner Charro Aguayo grabs the mic to cut a quick promo over the boos of the El Paso crowd, saying whoever the double-champion is coming out of the main event, they better watch out for the #1 competitor in EPWA: him, Charro Aguayo! VS. Main Event: Winner-Take-All Champion vs. Champion Bout TPA Southern Heavyweight Champion Hugh Nichols vs. EPWA El Paso City Champion Chino Achiu The crowd is absolutely electric coming into this winner-take-all match, knowing that just two days after Chino Achiu was crowned EPWA champ, he could lose it all to resident bastard Hugh Nichols, or he could ascend to even higher glory and become something unheard of in the Texas Promoter’s Association: a double-champion. Recognizing the severity of the moment, the pair start the bout with intensity, slapping the piss out of each other and screaming with the crowd as neither refuses to back down. In the end, of course, it is Hugh Nichols who breaks the unspoken honour and follows an uppercut from Achiu with a punch to the gut and a backbreaker. Achiu seems relatively unimpaired, however, and as Nichols comes back for more offense the EPWA champ catches him in a reversal and delivers a tried-and-true German suplex. Turning around, Achiu grabs Nichols to put him one of his many submission moves, the headlock sleeper, which earns Achiu a solid minute-and-a-half of the upper hand as he tortures Nichols before the equally small man manages to reach the ropes. Back on their feet, Achiu hits a picture-perfect drop kick to the center Nichols’ battered chest, sending him crashing into the ropes and struggling to stay in the ring. Achiu senses his opponent’s vulnerability and hits a second drop kick, then pulls Nichols towards him for his release German finisher. With Nichols in the air however, the TPA champ wriggles free and elbows Achiu, then bounces off the ropes and slams him to the floor with a clothesline. Achiu, screaming, pops right back off the ground to the crowd’s shock and delight, and grabs Nichols to successfully pull off his release German suplex. Achiu’s adrenaline wears off, however, and he is unable to make the pin immediately; when he does Nichols is able to kick out at 2 ½. Achiu rolls over, panting and disappointed, to catch his breath, and Nichols is the first to struggle to his feet, slowly stumbling over to Achiu and hitting a sloppy standing frog splash. Knowing what is coming, the crowd boos as Nichols struggles to pull Achiu into position for his second rope frog splash, which after taking a minute to regain his sense of up-and-down, Nichols nails. Achiu, much like Nichols’ last two opponents, however, kicks out a half-second away from three, and the crowd explodes. Nichols screams, and seriously pissed off slowly forces Achiu near-lifeless body into position for the piledriver. Flipping off the crowd, the TPA champ delivers the move, crossing Achiu’s hands and attempting to score a pinfall. Achiu, to everyone’s shock, most of all Nichols, however, somehow manages to push past the unbearable pain and kick out a hair shy of three once again. The crowd is going crazy as Nichols, tears and sweat pouring down his beat-red face, sets Achiu up for the move once more, and delivers it again, less effectively this time from his exhaustion, and this time Nichols merely collapses onto Achiu’s body, both of them lifeless as the ref counts. Once more, however, Achiu defies everyone’s expectations and kicks out at the very last possible moment. Nichols rolls over and punches the mat with all his strength, which at this moment is not much, and the both of them spend the next four minutes slowly finding their ways to their feet as the crowd screams for ‘Chino Achiu.’ Both wavering, they meet in the middle, and holding each other up as much as they are hitting each other in their striking battle. Achiu finally manages to send Nichols crashing to floor, and the EPWA champ wobbles back and forth for half a minute above his dazed opponent before wrapping his arms around his waist and lifting him up. With the veins exploding out of the small man’s neck and arms, his eyes bulging, his teeth gritting and his back convulsing under Nichols’ weight, Chino Achiu is finally able to throw the Nichols over top in a disgusting release German suplex where Nichols just flops onto to the ground. In a sequence similar to the end of the match in which Achiu won the title, he crawls over to Nichols’ lifeless bottle and swings his dead arm on top of the TPA champion to score the three count to a ballistic crowd. Winner: Chino Achiu via pinfall. Chino Achiu makes defense #1 of his EPWA El Paso City Championship, and becomes TPA Southern Heavyweight Champion, ending Hugh Nichols’ reign at 5 defenses. Following the match, after an absolutely battered Nichols is helped to the back and Chino Achiu manages to get to his feet, the newly crowned double-champion takes to the mic. Once again having to wait several minutes for the crowd to quiet down, Achiu thanks them for their support, saying he couldn’t do it without them. He hopes they will support him through two long title reigns and follow him all over Texas as he defends the TPA title. To universal chants of approval, Chino Achiu bows, and holding both titles high above his head ends EPWA’s first show of the ‘new era’ on an intense high. Show Rating: So what he had called an audible? So what the TPA didn’t approve? This was Jack Dempsey’s promotion, and he had just staked out his claim in the pro wrestling world, whether the rest of the industry knew him as the mind behind EPWA or not. The title win would undoubtedly make huge news in the industry, but that is exactly what Dempsey had come to do. And with a growing fanbase, and impressive roster, and a clear vision of the next year, Dempsey expected plenty more moments like these.

I'm most excited for the WCW Cruiserweight champion to be crowned, I hope the cruiserweight division becomes as important on this version as it was in the real thing. Keep up the great work with the graphics, too.

  17. <p>Chapter IX and EPWA Weekly Catch IV</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Chapter IX</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Thursday, Week 2, January 1934</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">The tension was thick between Charro Aguayo and Walter Achiu as the pair walked from the locker rooms to the temporary office Dempsey and McIntosh held at the Auditorium. They got along fine; in fact, they may have been friends had their opposing roles in the ring not kept them away from each other. But despite the lack of hostility in their normal relations, they now found themselves gunning for the same prize: the EPWA El Paso City Championship. In kayfabe, of course, the title was a big deal, but even behind-the-scenes the wrestlers understood its symbolic significance in determining the ‘face of the company.’ EPWA was shooting up, they all reasoned, until it would crash or face the far stronger NWA. Either way, they could all make some money on the ride, but of course some more than others, and none more than one, the one the company chose to be just that: the one. The championship would go a long way towards signaling who the company thought of as its biggest star, and although every wrestler in the battle royal hoped to be booked to win it, only a few realistically could have, and tonight only Aguayo or Achiu would walk out of Sled Allen’s auditorium the champ.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> And still, neither of them knew, minutes before the show started. At least not until they reached the office.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Walter, as much as any of them, believed himself to be the better choice: start the company’s ‘new era’ with a strong babyface title reign, create a superstar and several legit contenders in the process and then switch him out with a strong heel to create the next face super star. Simple. On top of that, Achiu was by far the most over with the crowd, rivaled only in crowd reaction to perhaps Hugh Nichols, although he was tied down with the TPA title. A crowd-deflating heel victory at the company’s biggest event yet wouldn’t draw in much more interest in the (still!) unnamed monthly show happening in just two days, which was already lagging in ticket sales. Achiu knew his support would sky rocket with the gold around his waist, and he could take the EPWA with him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Charro, for his part, recognized the logic of booking Achiu to win, but like those in charge of the company, Charro reasoned by their slow decision-making, it wasn’t quite so simple. Aguayo was seven years Achiu’s elder, and he had two years on him of professional experience. Aguayo had been trained for years in a reputable school in Mexico, and Achiu had really just used his football star to transition in pro wrestling and 6 years later had really only become a decent wrestler thanks to his well-kept body and ability to learn. And although Walter may have more star power with the crowd, Achiu seemed to Aguayo to be the type who would either rise too fast and get snatched up by a larger company, or who would start making mistakes and find his popular support turning on him. Achiu knew how to work a crowd, sure, when they loved him. Aguayo knew how to do it when they hated him. As for the title reign, Aguayo had no qualms setting up face stars with cheat wins, only to finally be bested. That seemed a faster way to establish some stars, to him anyway. What really drove Aguayo, however, was the money that came with being the champ: guaranteed matches at most shows, mostly main events, promotional material, media appearances, etc. Charro’s last letter to his family in Mexico had gotten lost in the mail and so he hadn’t heard from them in three months. The sooner he could work up enough money to retire, the sooner he could get the hell out of this blasted country and back home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Both men’s minds almost too lost in thought to recognize the tension of the situation, and where exactly the office was, they opened the door in a sort of haze and sat down on chairs in front of Dempsey, who was leaning up against a desk with a sharp tuxedo on, and McIntosh, who wore a white dress shirt and suspenders, awaiting the news.</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="IywDXkS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IywDXkS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong><span style="font-size:14px;">El Paso Wrestling Association presents:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">EPWA Weekly Catch IV</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 2, January 1934</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Sled Allen’s Auditorium</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> 1,400 attendees (sold-out)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="5g2sGAN.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5g2sGAN.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Before the show officially begins, John McIntosh hits the ring to cheers and murmurs of excitement among the crowd. Taking to the mic, he thanks the audience for attending and hypes the main event to crown an inaugural champ. Finally, he reveals why he is here: to announce the name of this month’s big event! The show is to be called... “EPWA The Beginning.” McIntosh talks about the start of a whole new ‘era’ in EPWA, an era that will take the promotion and its fans to the top of the world. And this is only the Beginning. The crowd red hot, McIntosh drops the mic and bows.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="5TkAhg5.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5TkAhg5.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="DZyaBmM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DZyaBmM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="wTuyhhb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wTuyhhb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Opening Bout:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Paul Harper vs. “Kommandant” Franz Wolff</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">The former TPA champ looks to get his mojo back against a considerably less impressive opponent in ‘Kommandant Franz Wolff,’ whose ‘go-away’ heat with the crowd is astronomical at this point. The pair lock up and the older and more experienced Harper is able to beat Wolff at his own submission game, avoiding Wolff’s signature abdominal stretches and alligator clutches to roll Wolff up in a schoolboy and seemingly win the match. But while Wolff is unable to get into a position to push Harper off him and raise his shoulders, his is able to grab ahold of the ref’s legs and pull him down, interrupting the count and giving Wolff a few more seconds to wiggle out of Harper’s grasp. Harper is infuriated, and shouts in the ref’s face to disqualify Wolff, giving his opponent an opportunity. While Harper has the ref distracted, he is ironically nailed in the back by a double axe handle from a brass knuckle-wielding Wolff, who was able to retrieve his weapon while the ref was distracted. Slipping his illegal object into his tights, Wolff rolls Harper up and the ref, oblivious, counts to three while the crowd screams foul-play.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Franz Wolff via pinfall, following the use of an illegal object</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="P1yEvBo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P1yEvBo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="sM5vd7J.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sM5vd7J.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tLYZ6jz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tLYZ6jz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> VS. <img alt="oD7imE0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oD7imE0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zcS39tn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zcS39tn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Second Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Frenchy Leavitt and Cyclone Mackey vs. Mike McGuire and The Bulldog</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Leavitt and Mackey have all the crowd support behind them in this match, who just want to see McGuire and the Bulldog lose. The duo works shockingly well however, with McGuire’s technical ability setting up the Bulldog’s vicious suplex-based offense splendidly on multiple occasions. Their opponents seem unable to break through the tough offense, until Mackey manages to reverse a release German suplex attempt from the Bulldog into a pinning combination, which McGuire quickly dives in to break up. Leavitt enters the ring to stop McGuire, and the two end up brawling out onto the floor, leaving Mackey and the Bulldog in the ring. Cyclone doesn’t want to give up the momentum and pounces at the Dog only to get caught in a devastating dead lift German. The Bulldog follows it up with another release German, then a Northern Lights suplex, and with Mackey in a heap in the center of the ring, he joins the brawl between McGuire and Leavitt, helping McGuire slam Leavitt onto the outside floor. The Bulldog then tags in his partner who covers Mackey for the pinfall. McGuire looks over at the Bulldog, impressed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winners: Mike McGuire and The Bulldog via pinfall on Cyclone Mackey</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="p0ngvUc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p0ngvUc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="m6lZaZv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/m6lZaZv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="sMN8VCa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sMN8VCa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="Qitlkxc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Qitlkxc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Wmb9PAU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Wmb9PAU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Third Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Swede Larson and Walter Stratton vs. Joe Parelli and Ray Ryan</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">The crowd seems ready for a babyface win even more than the babyface team does, as Swede Larson and Walter Stratton square up in their corner. Both men could use a victory, having lost in the battle royal and the TPA title main event last week respectively, and having both lost to the rookie the Bulldog in the previous weeks. Stratton even spent a night in the hospital because of a piledriver from champ Hugh Nichols last week and is nursing a neck injury. The injured Stratton starts against Ray Ryan, a competitor who has shown himself to have no qualms with cheating. In fact, as the two men lock up in the center of the ring, Ryan’s partner Joe Parelli has already begun to remove the turnbuckle pad from the villains’ corner. Unaware of what has happened, Stratton gets Irish whipped head first into the exposed turnbuckle by Ryan, who then goes for a quick roll up victory. The ref catches Ryan’s feet on the ropes, though, and stops the count. Stratton retreats, dazed, and tags in Larson; Ryan does the same to Parelli. The fresh pair have a far more ‘traditional’ wrestling bout, with both men gunning for their respective signature moves. Parelli seems to have the upperhand as he hits his neckbreaker successfully, but when he pulls Larson up and send him bouncing off the ropes for another powerful move, Ray Ryan kicks him in the back. Expecting Larson to come flying back, Parelli is thrown off his balance and Larson realizes what is going on, shaking off his daze and tackling Parelli to the ground where he applies his Full Nelson submission. Ryan realizes what he has done and steps into the ring, but Walter Stratton is one step ahead of him meeting him before he can break up the submission, allowing Larson to transition into his devasting Indian Lock submission and give Parelli no choice but to tap out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winners: Swede Larson and Walter Stratton via submission on Joe Parelli</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="dO2SmCQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dO2SmCQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="MGQR9AM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MGQR9AM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> VS.</strong></span> <img alt="1THY2q9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1THY2q9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="ofoviKx.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ofoviKx.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Semi-Main Event:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Bout</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Hugh Nichols © vs. Yaqui Joe</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Nichols may be used to wrestling in the main event, but the champ didn’t seem at all different as he made his way to the ring and doesn’t now across the ring from 7-year vet Yaqui Joe. Nichols has almost twice the experience and seems ever confident going into the match, but he knows he won’t be able to finish things too quickly against Joe. The crowd is roaring as the two come together in the center of the ring, spending a solid 5 minutes on simple tests of strength and lock-ups. Neither having determined a significant advantage, the two take a step back. Nichols decides to try something new, extending his hand to shake Joe’s and show him respect as a challenger. Joe thinks for a moment, and then takes Nichols’ hand, but instead of shaking it he yanks Nichols towards him to deliver a stiff clothesline. The crowd laughs as Nichols stumbles to his corner, gasping for air as Joe poses. Nichols comes back with a vengeance, however, as the two lock up again, and this time the smaller man forces Joe to the ground and applies a simple armbar, a rare submission maneuver from the champion. Joe manages to wiggle his way out of the sloppy hold, however, and hits Nichols with an armbar of his own, this one far more brutal-looking. Nichols is just barely able to grasp the bottom rope before he loses consciousness, and the crowd boos as Joe is forced to remove the hold and back up. Back on his feet, Nichols doesn’t mess around this time charging Joe and switching around to deliver a swift German suplex. Slapping himself, Nichols pulls Joe to his feet and chops him across the chest before delivering a second German suplex. As Joe writhes on the floor Nichols pants, but forces himself to his feet, red in the face, sweaty, and blinking as he drags Joe closer to the ropes and performs his second-rope frog splash, immediately covering the challenger. Like last week’s Stratton, however, Joe just manages to get his shoulder up before three, and the crowd roars at an infuriated Nichols. Once again, an utterly exhausted Nichols must hoist his opponent upside down to deliver his devasting finishing piledriver to finally pin them and secure his championship reign.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Hugh Nichols via pinfall.

Nichols laughs as the crowd boos him to back; to the champion, all is right in the world, despite how exhausted he may be.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="NepfelE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NepfelE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="X4Po6l2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/X4Po6l2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="8rSIBf9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8rSIBf9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="2ZTt6RA.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2ZTt6RA.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Main Event:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Vacant EPWA El Paso City Championship Bout</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Charro Aguayo vs. Chino Achiu</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">The time has finally come. The first-ever EPWA El Paso City Champion will be crowned tonight, and after the raucous noise of the wrestler’s entrances, a hush falls over the crowd and the bell is rung. These two have met in the ring before; in fact, they have a storied history in EPWA as two top stars, but have never wrestled for as high a profile as this. The inaugural champ will have the task of making the belt more important in EPWA than the TPA strap, which is of course held by another member of the roster and defended regularly. Both men seem up to the task, but of course that can only be determined in the squared circle. The pair only lock up in the center briefly, as Aguayo seems to immediately gain the upper hand and force Achiu into a position to receive a trademark dropkick from the luchador. Aguayo isn’t the only one who knows the move, however, and although high-flying isn’t his strongest aspect Achiu nails Aguayo with a well-timed dropkick of his own in the next encounter. The match continues for several minutes as an ever-evolving chess game to hit the drop kick, with slides, dodges, fake-outs, until finally Achiu has had enough and switches it up, catching Aguayo and delivering a body slam. Taken to the mat, the two wrestle around, trading holds until Achiu locks in his armbar, harkening back to the semi-main event and champion Nichols’ sub-par execution of the move. Achiu’s masterful version is even more devastating than Yaqui Joe’s, however, and Aguayo screams in pain as Achiu twists and bends his arm. Seemingly sent into a rage, Charro finally manages to power off and through the smaller Achiu off him. With Chino on the ground, Charro can set up his back body drop, which he manages to hit on his opponent. The two take a breather as the crowd shouts in support of Achiu, before returning to their feet and charging each other in another dropkick heavy sequence. This time, Achiu manages to outwit Aguayo and nail him on the cheek with the move, and with Charro dazed on his feet Achiu runs over to sink in his headlock sleeper hold. Falling back on to the mat, the winded and suffocating Aguayo writhes around to no real avail, the ref seems seconds away from calling for a stoppage before Achiu releases his opponent and motions that it is all over. To the crowd’s roars the exhausted Achiu struggles to pick up the larger man, slowly but surely bringing him up to deliver his deadly release German suplex. Slowly crawling over to Charro and swinging his dead arm over the top of Aguayo’s lifeless body, an exhausted Chino Achiu earns himself the three count, and a huge victory over a rival for an inaugural championship.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Chino Achiu via pinfall.

He thanks the crowd for attending and supporting him, and he thanks John McIntosh and the El Paso Wrestling Association for giving him this wonderful opportunity. Just do your best, he says, and opportunity will come to you. But his best as a champion, he claims, is not to sit around and let time decide between the EPWA and TPA belts within the EPWA ring, no, no, at EPWA The Beginning, freshly minted EPWA champ Chino Achiu challenges TPA champ Hugh Nichols to a special bout, whether it be for both titles, one, or neither! Any way, Chino says, he will prove the EPWA title belt to be more prestigious by pinning the ‘chickenshit’ Nichols. The crowd erupts as Achiu holds his new belt high above his head and is paraded out of the arena.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="5TkAhg5.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5TkAhg5.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Show Rating:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="NepfelE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NepfelE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p>
  18. Thank you! Yeah I'm trying to reflect the general feel of the times, and the relative simplicity of the booking while also trying to do my own thing. The matches is the most fun part because moves from the second rope and some basic submissions can be seen as utterly devastating finishers.
  19. <p>Chapter VIII</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Chapter VIII</span></strong></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Friday, Week 1, January 1934</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Jack Dempsey knew what had to be done, staring at the company’s current financial assets: -$2,306.88. He had blown through money much faster than he ever expected; apparently booking his three top stars every week had its price. Upgrading all of EPWA’s production values had also sunk deep into the pocket, but Dempsey wanted a professional product on par with the competition, even the company’s beyond his reach. And it would continue into ‘Catch IV,’ which the former boxer already had booked, surprisingly. He was so excited about the creative direction of the promotion he had neglected the financial and behind-the-scenes work, which would eat into most of his time until the next show.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> ‘Weekly Catch III’ had been a success, however. The fans were red-hot for Achiu’s victory in the battle royal and were itching to see him beat Aguayo for the title; a great way to start the championship with prestige, Dempsey thought. No matter who won the belt, there was a built-in, month-long feud to run on. Of course, Dempsey knew who would win, and he also knew he would not fall back on having the two original challengers war over it, no, he had something far more interesting in store. And not only because he had a larger monthly event days after ‘Catch IV’ that he had next to no card to promote for. What little he had for a card he couldn’t release until the action unfolded next week, so for now he could only release the preliminary matches, vague statements, a glimpse at the main event.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Dempsey was nearing the bank, having left his office immediately to pay off the company’s debts and show McIntosh he was serious. Boosting EPWA $50,000 was easy, but Dempsey knew that was only the beginning. Hopefully, at some point, they would turn a profit. But Dempsey would have to establish EPWA as a serious big-time promotion for his booking style to pay off, and he knew that wouldn’t happen for a while. His mind wandering back to the book, to Hugh Nichols’ championship run, the nonexistent tag division, Ted Cristy and Ken Hollis’ injuries, Dempsey readied his check book and stepped into the bank.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46531" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="IywDXkS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IywDXkS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> El Paso Wrestling Association presents:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">EPWA Weekly Catch IV</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 2, January 1934</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Sled Allen’s Auditorium</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> Vacant EPWA El Paso City Championship Bout</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Charro Aguayo vs. Chino Achiu</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Semi-Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Bout</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Hugh Nichols © vs. Yaqui Joe</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Third Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Swede Larson and Walter Stratton vs. Joe Parelli and Ray Ryan</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Second Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Frenchy Leavitt and Cyclone Mackey vs. Mike McGuire and The Bulldog</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Opening Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Paul Harper vs. “Kommandant” Franz Wolff</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p></div><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46531" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="IywDXkS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IywDXkS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> El Paso Wrestling Association presents:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">[Yet-Unnamed Monthly Event]</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Saturday, Week 2, January 1934</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Sled Allen’s Auditorium</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Open Challenge</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Hugh Nichols/Yaqui Joe await the next challenger!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>The Loser of the EPWA El Paso City Championship Bout at Weekly Catch IV vs. The Loser of the TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Bout at Weekly Catch IV</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Gorilla Poggi vs. Luis de la Torre</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Dory Delton and Frenchy Leavitt vs. Young Sampson and Jack Russel</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Plus, the newly minted EPWA El Paso City Champion will be in action!

The Texas Promoter’s Association was obviously behind him, as he had already made 4 defenses, and with no matches booked for him and the TPA title until ‘EPWA Weekly Catch IV’ on Thursday, he could relax. Hell, for the first time in three weeks he wasn’t even main eventing that show, although from what he heard he would be main eventing the yet-unnamed monthly event two days later.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Yet-unnamed. Nichols shook his head, chuckling. As much as he liked Jack Dempsey and John McIntosh, they sure did fly on the edge of their seats. Not they he cared much, as long as the checks continued to rain in. And with supposed multi-millionaire Dempsey around, that didn’t show signs of stopping.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Nichols worked regularly for one company other than EPWA, AE, or Amusement Enterprises. They had a much smaller roster and relied on bringing in big-name talent from other places, and were honestly less of a full-time promotion and more of an origination that put on showcase matches to draw familiar crowds; Nichols’ future was obviously with the rising EPWA.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Nichols was a lonely man, however, even he would admit that. He lived alone in a small apartment in El Paso, smaller than you would think for the top heel of the small promotion. He didn’t live lavishly, and he was lucky his gimmick did not require him to do so, although it did require a whole lot. He could never go out with the rest of the boys, even the other heels, he and Aguayo were in a class of their own; they had to keep to themselves, maintain kayfabe by showing their faces in public as little as possible, and never with any other wrestlers. To the public, they were larger-than-life bastards who flew into El Paso to act arrogant and cocky before receiving their comeuppance. They could not be humanized, especially not in those times.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> So, Hugh Nichols sits alone in his small apartment, a half-empty bottle of whiskey in front of him and an old-school radio blaring a ball game at him, and he wonders what his future really holds.</span></p>
  20. Hell yeah, 7/9 on my first predictions for Summer Spectacular.
  21. <p>Chapter VII and EPWA Weekly Catch III</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Chapter VII</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 1, January 1934</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Walter Achiu was a Hawaii-born American, though you wouldn’t know that if you had only seen him in his pro wrestling performances, especially in Canada and Mexico. He had been a successful football player, playing in the NFL for 2 years. In areas where not many people watched the NFL, especially not 6 years ago, like El Paso, he wrestled as a genuine foreigner; someone of vague East-Asian descent. For the first time, he was even going as his Mexican name ‘Chino Achiu’ in America, and had been given a black-and-white lucha mask.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> He was gaining a large popularity in the pro wrestling world, however, main eventing consistently in AAL, TAC, EMLL, of course EPWA, and touring around to companies all over the world. He didn’t have any titles, however, and was itching to cement his legacy with a few reigns. He hoped John McIntire, and more importantly, it seemed to him, Jack Dempsey thought the same. Only the true ‘franchise players’ of EPWA had been introduced to Dempsey as the booker of the company, everyone else knew him only as the new financier, and/or owner. And shit, Walter didn’t even know who knew what or what he knew, the way things in the industry were run.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Take the TEW end of the year awards for example: hidden away in an ‘insider exclusive’ newsletter that virtually no workers had access to. Or the fact they were paid less than the road agents and owner, and yet they were expected to maintain their characters at all time, unlike the more behind-the-scenes folks.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> But Walter didn’t have time to rant on the industry, nor did he really have anyone to rant to, alone in his personal locker room before ‘EPWA Weekly Catch III.’ Lacing up his boots, he practiced his problematic chinese-esque accent and prepared for his battle royal match that night.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="IywDXkS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IywDXkS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>El Paso Wrestling Association presents:</strong></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>EPWA Weekly Catch III</strong></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 1, January 1934</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Sled Allen’s Auditorium</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> 1,400 attendees (sold-out)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="sM5vd7J.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sM5vd7J.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="dF4UOhu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dF4UOhu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Opening Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Eddie Brock vs. Luis de la Torre</strong></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Although he’s never really built up any serious momentum, Luis de la Torre is a 6-year veteran across the ring from the similarly sized rookie Eddie Brock. Brock is just unable to keep up with de le Torre’s grappling maneuvers, and the freshly-masked man makes a fool of Brock for almost a full 10 minutes, pushing him to the ground, twisting his arms, and scoring a few signature backbreakers before finishing the rookie of with a Back Body Drop for the pinfall. Unfortunately, Brock struggled to really sell the effectiveness of de le Torre’s moves, and the crowd struggled to get invested.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Luis de la Torre via pinfall</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="Naryakm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Naryakm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="oD7imE0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oD7imE0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="PyzeT2b.jpg?2" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PyzeT2b.jpg?2" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span></span><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="1kSKOK3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1kSKOK3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AzItB9o.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AzItB9o.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Second Bout:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Mike McGuire & Ken Hollis vs. Bob Steele & Dory Delton</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">McGuire’s second tag team bout in two weeks, he hopes switching up his partners will switch up the results. This time against the rookie team of Bob Steele and Dory Delton, McGuire teams with ring technician Ken Hollis. McGuire starts the match himself, against Delton, and he seems to have the upper hand in the initial wrestling. After blatantly smacking Delton in the face while Hollis screams at the ref, McGuire laughs, and taunts to the crowd before tagging in his partner. Delton was not as stunned as he let on, however, and he leaps up to tag in the fresh Bob Steele who slams the surprised Hollis to the mat with a clothesline. After pressing his advantage by keeping the pace up and laying on his offense, Steele tags a recuperated Dory Delton back into the match. Delton seems to be a little off his game however and allows the beaten down Hollis to tag in McGuire during their exchange. Staying in the ring while McGuire comes into flatten Delton, Hollis, exhausted, lands a standing elbow drop on Delton to set up McGuire’s running senton for the three-count following Hollis’ exit from the ring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winners: Mike McGuire & Ken Hollis via pinfall on Dory Delton following an illegal double-team maneuver. </strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="p0ngvUc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p0ngvUc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="X4Po6l2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/X4Po6l2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="DZyaBmM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DZyaBmM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Third Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> EPWA El Paso City Championship No1 Contender Charro Aguayo vs. Paul Harper</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Charro Aguayo comes into this bout red hot, following his victory in last week’s battle royal and subsequent potential to become inaugural champ. Paul Harper, on the other hand, must prove his viability as a main-eventer in EPWA following his loss of the TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship to Hugh Nichols after just one defense, and his failure to capture his current opponents prize in the aforementioned battle royal. Harper and Aguayo seem evenly matched as they lock up and test each other’s strength, but Aguayo’s lucha-based grappling skills give him the upper hand, and he rolls his opponent into a simple slam. Grasping hands again, Aguayo gets the better of Harper before taking to the second rope and hitting the former champ with a full body press for a kick-out at two and a half. Jumping up and taunting the crowd, Aguayo leaves himself open do the damaged Harper who tackles his knees and, struggling, puts him into a Boston Crab. Aguayo seems to be closing to tap, but he manages to power his way to the ropes as Harper’s back gives up on the hold. After the two or separated, Charro lands a pair of forearms followed by an Irish whip into the corner, which sets up his corner dropkick finisher. To the crowd’s boos, Aguayo nails the move on the exhausted Harper, who gets pinned seconds later.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Charro Aguayo via pinfall</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="P1yEvBo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P1yEvBo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="8rSIBf9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8rSIBf9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="fHT9lWd.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/fHT9lWd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="je94zIh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/je94zIh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wTuyhhb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wTuyhhb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CJUQb1b.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CJUQb1b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Wmb9PAU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Wmb9PAU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="08VzGmm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/08VzGmm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zcS39tn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zcS39tn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1THY2q9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1THY2q9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Semi-Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> 10-Man Battle Royal for a chance to wrestle for the vacant EPWA El Paso City Championship</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Chino Achiu, Gorilla Poggi, Jack Russel, Kommandant Frank Wolff, Oscar Lindsey, Otis Clingman, Ray Ryan, Stanley Rogers, The Bulldog, & Yaqui Joe</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Once again, the competitors are jumping at the gun to get going in the packed ring, but first the Bulldog grabs the mic, demanding to know why “Kommandant” Frank Wolff got a shot in both battle royals. He responds by saying that he successfully whined and threatened John McIntire into letting him get another chance, as he apparently was unaware that he could lose from anything other than an over-the-top-rope elimination. The rest of the participants of the match look at each other with mixes of bewilderment and anger and sensing the rising tension referee Tom Churchill calls for the bell. As the bell is rung, the nine competitors team up to push Frank Wolff out onto the floor immediately, which angers him no end as the crowd boos and laughs at him. Following the elimination, the brawling begins in the ring as the participants partner up to try and push each other over the ropes. Gorilla Poggi is able to force the all-star Chino Achiu, who appeared tonight wearing a mask for the first time, onto the other side of the ropes, where the two jockey for position. On the other side of the ring the Bulldog has managed to German suplex Otis Clingman and sees what is going on with Poggi and Achiu while Clingman writhes on the mat. The Bulldog charges, seemingly to headbutt Achiu off the apron and then toss Poggi, but Achiu sees the younger man coming and ducks the attempt, leaving the Bulldog caught balancing on the third rope. Achiu swipes Poggi’s feet out from under him while holding onto the top rope, and then pulls the ‘Dog onto the outside of the ropes, making him lose his tenuous balance and crash to the floor. Getting back on his feet, Achiu uses the top rope to slingshot onto Poggi, showing off his technical acumen by sliding into his tried-and-true armbar. While Achiu goes after the submission elimination, Ray Ryan appears to have Yaqui Joe on the verge of elimination, having likewise forced him over the top rope onto the outside apron. Joe’s tag team partner from the ‘Catch II,’ Otis Clingman, has risen to his feet, fully recovered from the Bulldog’s German suplex, and rushes to help Joe. Together, they throw Ryan crashing over the ropes and onto the floor, and smiling, Otis offers Joe a hand back into the ring. Joe accepts, but instead of helping Joe over the ropes, Otis proves there is no loyalty when a title opportunity is on the line, even between friends as he sends Joe likewise crashing to the floor. While these eliminations have been going on, Stanley Rogers, Jack Russel, and Oscar Lindsey have been grappling amongst themselves, each one taking turns attempting to throw another own over the top rope in different combinations, double-teaming several times. The addition of Otis Clingman adds another wrinkle to the events, as Clingman, Lindsey, and Rogers naturally form a wall against Russel, who has been known to use ‘under-handed’ tactics. As Rogers dives at Russel he does just that, dodging the tackling attempt and then spitting in the eyes of Lindsey and Clingman. While they stumble around, Russel rolls up Clingman for a pinfall elimination, and then sends Lindsey crashing into Rogers, who has gotten onto his feet. Russel hits his Neckbreaker on Rogers for another pinfall, but Russel isn’t allowed to revel in his unexpected glory long before Chino Achiu delivers a powerful dropkick out of nowhere. Lindsey takes a step back to breath for a moment as Achiu crouches, waiting to pounce on the reeling Russel. Once the moment is right, Achiu rushes in and delivers a devastating release German suplex, stunning the heel and earning Achiu his third elimination. Achiu then turns his gaze to Lindsey, the only other man in the match, and the two shake hands before locking up in the classic Greco-Roman style. After several minutes of tense, back-and-forth grappling, Achiu manages to throw Lindsey against the ropes, sending him bouncing back and into the waiting feet of Achiu, mid drop kick. With the crowd roaring and he circles the ring, ecstatic, he once again sizes up his opponent and nails the release German at the precise right moment, leading to a final pinfall that gives him another elimination and a chance to go against his rival Charro Aguayo to become the inaugural EPWA El Paso City Champion!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Chino Achiu via pinfall on Oscar Lindsey</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="dO2SmCQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dO2SmCQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="8rSIBf9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8rSIBf9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Following the battle royal, the newly masked Achiu takes to microphone to celebrate with his fans, and he can hardly get a word in over their cheers. He promises them he’ll become the inaugural champ, and that he’ll run through the entire roster in the best championship reign they will ever see in EPWA. As for Charro Aguayo- he’ll be so embarrassed at his defeat he will never show his face in El Paso again! Dropping the mic in the center of the ring, Achiu leaves to the crowd’s thunderous applause.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="P1yEvBo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P1yEvBo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="MGQR9AM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MGQR9AM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="sMN8VCa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sMN8VCa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <img alt="ofoviKx.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ofoviKx.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Bout</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Hugh Nichols © vs. Walter Stratton</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Hugh Nichols looks to make his fourth defense of the TPA belt, having just retained the title against Marshall Blackstock at Willoughby Athletic Incorporated’s ‘WAI Catch Event’ on Tuesday, against the slighter larger yet less experienced Walter Stratton. Nichols, feeling ever confident, has no qualms about toying with Stratton, leading to several long sequences of chain wrestling and reversals only for Nichols to slink away and retreat, laughing, as the action reached its peak. Finally, Stratton has had enough and darts and Nichols, only for the champ to roll out of the way, sending Stratton straight into the turnbuckle! Nichols doesn’t waste the opportunity, German suplexing Stratton and then hitting him with the devastating second-rope Frog Splash. Used just earlier in the week to put away Blackstock, the combination fails to score Nichols the pinfall, as Stratton pops up at two, determination in his eyes. Nichols looks frustrated and pulls Stratton to his feet, looking to hit another of his signatures, the standard Body Slam. Stratton seems wise to Nichols’ plan, however, and uses Nichols’ momentum against him to put him in a pinning predicament for a shocking two count. Nichols retreats to his corner, furious, as Stratton fires up with the crowd behind him. Once again, the two lock up, but Stratton’s newfound confidence and adrenaline make the exchanges far more even, and the challenger even forces Nichols onto the mat, which he uses as a set up for a Boston crab. Nichols struggles to get to the ropes as the crowd screams at him to tap out, but he eventually reaches the bottom rope and Stratton is forced to release the hold. Nichols seems desperate to finish the bout now, perhaps pointing to some ‘champion’s exhaustion’ on his part and comes in strong on Stratton with a powerful clothesline to the back of the head. Showing off his incredible power as a lightweight, Nichols dead lift German suplex’s Stratton from the floor, stunning him. Slowly dragging him to the corner, Nichols once again delivers the second-rope Frog Splash, this time getting a 2 and 9/10ths count, but not securing the victory. The crowd roars as Nichols screams in frustration and Stratton holds his hand up from the mat, clearly down for the count. Nichols returns to his challenger and picks him upside down to deliver the strongest move of his arsenal: the devasting piledriver, which never fails. And it doesn’t today as referee Harry Savage counts to three and declares Hugh Nichols the winner.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Hugh Nichols via pinfall.

  24. <p>Chapter VI</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Chapter VI</strong></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Monday, Week 1, January 1934</span></p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">New Year’s Day. Jack Dempsey had been able to line up some festivities for the night before and although he had gotten very drunk and fallen asleep on his friend’s couch, he had a lot of work to do in preparation for ‘Weekly Catch III.’ The company had been hemorrhaging money ever since Dempsey had entered the picture, spending big money on big talent at a rate far faster than McIntosh had when he had the book: if you wanted to grow, Dempsey reasoned, you had to bring in the big names. Names like Charro Aguayo, Hugh Nichols, Chino Achiu, Joe Parelli, Ken Hollis, and, of course, Jim Londos, who would be available to book in just under a month. Dempsey didn’t plan on bringing him into EPWA that early, however; now that Londos had disappeared, on a ‘recuperation vacation’ according to his spokespeople, the public was itching for his return. If Dempsey could hold off on the return of the superstar for another month or two, he would be able to exploit the superstar’s drawing ability when he did come back to an EPWA ring, a place he had seldom even been in before.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Dempsey was also planning on finishing up his negotiations with road agent Jack Pfefer, a reputable and creative pro wrestling mind who would undoubtedly be a step up from current disappointment Betty Bushley. Dempsey couldn’t reason why McIntosh has ever hired her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> The boxing star had the book surprisingly under control; he had until this month’s event all planned out. He even had a name for the event, which he would unveil at ‘Catch III.’ Beyond that, he was lost. He would need to crown tag champs, but he had no established tag teams and no idea who on the roster would pair up well together. Oh well, he would cross that bridge when he got too it. For now, he had to organize a wrestling show, and make sure McIntosh truly understood his commitment to not letting the company slide into bankruptcy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Before he could do that, however, he had to look at the results of the ‘Territorial Editorial on Wrestling’ (TEW) internal ‘yearly awards.’ The newsletter was an industry secret, only known to verified members of the industries ‘insiders.’ For 1933, the wrestler of the year was of course Jim Londos, the young wrestler of the year was Max Krauser, the company of the year was FFC, the card of the year was ‘MSG Major Monthly Wrestling’ from NWA-NY in Week 1 of December (B+), the match of the year was the semi-main event from that show, Man Mountain Dean vs. Ed Don George (A), and the referee of the year was M. Valfort. Not at all surprising that nothing from EPWA landed an award, but Dempsey knew by this time next year, he would have his fair share of respect from the pro wrestling world.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46531" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p> <img alt="IywDXkS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IywDXkS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:14px;">El Paso Wrestling Association presents:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">EPWA Weekly Catch III</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 1, January 1934</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Sled Allen’s Auditorium</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Main Event:</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Bout</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Hugh Nichols © vs. Walter Stratton</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Semi-Main Event:</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>10-Man Battle Royal for a chance to wrestle for the vacant EPWA El Paso City Championship</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Chino Achiu, Gorilla Poggi, Jack Russel, Kommandant Frank Wolff, Oscar Lindsey,Otis Clingman, Ray Ryan, Stanley Rogers, The Bulldog, & Yaqui Joe</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Third Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> EPWA El Paso City Championship No1 Contender Charro Aguayo vs. Paul Harper</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Second Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Mike McGuire & Ken Hollis vs. Bob Steele & Dory Delton</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Opening Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Eddie Brock vs. Luis de la Torre</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>
  25. <p>Chaper V and EPWA Weekly Catch 2</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Chapter V</strong></span></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 4, December 1933</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">‘Weekly Catch II’ was already beginning as Francisco Aguayo Escobosa lit a cigarette behind ‘Sled Allen’s Auditorium.’ He went by the name ‘Charro,’ a nickname for cowboy, in the ring; he had used other names like ‘“Cactus” Pete Brown’ in the past, but El Paso was close enough to Mexico for the luchador to use his standard stage name. He quickly sucked down his cigarette behind a large hood: if he was caught by someone in the media McIntosh and Dempsey would be furious.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Things had been hectic at EPWA since the boxer’s entrance. Charro worked for the Albuquerque Athletic Club (Alb AC) and the brand new Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) as well, but from his vantage his stock was rising in EPWA the fastest. McIntosh had already considered him a main-event player, but Dempsey felt even stronger, positioning Charro as one of the company’s top stars next to Chino Achiu and Hugh Nichols. His ongoing feud with crowd all star Chino certainly wouldn’t hurt his case either.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Aguayo did miss home, though, and his family in Mexico. Despite him working three companies on a regular basis Charro struggled to keep his family afloat in the southern country. He hoped his rising star would change that, and he knew what to do if he grew faster than the promotions who employed him...</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Flicking his cigarette on the ground the wrestler returns to the building to warm up for his Battle Royal.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="IywDXkS.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IywDXkS.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong><span style="font-size:14px;">El Paso Wrestling Association presents:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">EPWA Weekly Catch II</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday, Week 4, December 1933</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Sled Allen’s Auditorium</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> 1,400 attendees (sold out)</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="5g2sGAN.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5g2sGAN.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">John McIntosh hits the ring to open the show, and the crowds murmur with anticipation over his announcement. After talking about the pride he has in EPWA he speculates as to its future, claiming the only thing ahead of the company is a growing fanbase, a larger and more impressive roster, and, most importantly, more of the best wrestling in the Lone Star State! The crowd hanging on his every word, McIntosh walks over to a table set up in the ring with a sheet draped over it. Full of dramatic flair, he yanks the sheet off to reveal a beautiful gold trimmed championship belt, the words ‘EPWA EL PASO CITY CHAMPION’ fastened on the front.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="rwYHEjs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rwYHEjs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> The crowd oos and aas as McIntosh takes to the mic again, laying out the path to crown the first-ever champ. Tonight’s Battle Royal will determine the first contender for the championship, and an identical Battle Royal next week will determine the second. The two winners will then face off at ‘EPWA Weekly Catch IV’ to become the inaugural champion and make their mark in the history books. The crowd even hotter for the night’s events, McIntosh bows and makes his exit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="p0ngvUc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p0ngvUc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="sMN8VCa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sMN8VCa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">VS.</span></strong> <img alt="zcS39tn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zcS39tn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Opening Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Walter Stratton vs. The Bulldog</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">The Bulldog looks to keep the momentum he’s built the past few weeks going, starting on the opposite corner from the younger yet more technical Walter Stratton. The Bulldog starts the match red-hot, but he overreaches several times as Stratton dodges the masked man’s wild head butt attempts and punishes him with stiff kicks to the back. Finally, the Bulldog learns and tries something different by going in to grapple, but he’s outclassed and pushed to the ground, screaming in pain as Stratton grinds his elbow into the Bulldog’s tender back. The Dog refuses to tap, however, eventually powering out of the hold. Stratton looks to press the advantage for the first time in the bout, having wrestled rather defensively, and he pays for it as the surprisingly resilient Bulldog jumps forward to deliver a signature head butt, followed by a second head butt and a Winglock Suplex for the upset victory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: The Bulldog via pinfall</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="CVCijCy.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CVCijCy.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span></p><p> <img alt="Wmb9PAU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Wmb9PAU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="CJUQb1b.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CJUQb1b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Second Bout:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> Ray Ryan vs. Oscar Lindsay</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:14px;">An interesting match up between two rather equal competitors; Ryan and Lindsay are the same size and age although Lindsay has been wrestling for four years whereas Ryan just started. Despite his relative ‘greenness’ Ryan is still a force to be reckoned with in the ring, and his willingness to cheat makes him all the more dangerous. After several stalemates in grappling and test of strength, Lindsay decides to change up the pace and delivers a brutal chop to the chest of Ryan, stunning his opponent momentarily. Rather than push the advantage, however, Lindsay baits Ryan, who explodes with a chop of his own when he regains his composure. Taking twice as long to recover, Lindsay fires back with another chop, although it doesn’t seem to have the same ‘oomph’ as the first one. Ryan solidifies his upper hand by clotheslining Lindsay to the ground and seriously stunning the babyface. Rather than go for the pin, however, or even try another move, Ryan runs over to the southeast corner and begins to untie the turnbuckle cover. He manages to expose the ringpost, and to the screams of the crowd he laughs and pulls Lindsay onto his feet, planning to Irish whip him into the post. Lindsay comes to life, however, and manages to reverse the whip and send Ryan crashing into the steel he himself set up. Utterly dazed, Ryan collapses onto the mat where he is covered by Lindsay to finish the bout.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Oscar Lindsay via pinfall</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="CVCijCy.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CVCijCy.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="E2faBt4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/E2faBt4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1THY2q9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1THY2q9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>VS.</strong></span> <img alt="oD7imE0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oD7imE0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="n85NtCj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/n85NtCj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Third Bout:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Otis Clingman & Yaqui Joe vs. Mike McGuire & Ted Cristy</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Yaqui Joe has 5 years of experience on his younger tag partner Clingman, but Clingman seems to understand the difference in experience and allows Joe to guide the strategy of the babyface team. On the other side McGuire and Cristy seem to get along alright to open the bout with the larger Cristy starting off against Clingman. Otis’s offense seems disappointingly ineffective against Cristy, however, and he gets caught in a big slam for a near-fall. Cristy, frustrated, allows Clingman to tag in Yaqui Joe while he returns to his own partner McGuire. This match-up goes a lot better for the face team as Joe’s experience lets him wrestle circles around McGuire, whose pride seems to prevent him from switching up his strategy as he loses again and again in technical struggles, getting forced to the ground, put in submission holds, and tied up for pinning predicaments. Having seen enough, Cristy climbs over the top rope to smack some sense into McGuire, but before he can interfere Clingman darts from the corner and hits Cristy with a spear, knocking him to the ground momentarily. Joe takes advantage of the distracted McGuire, throwing him into the worst pinning combination of the match so far and holding him down for the three count.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winners: Yaqui Joe & Otis Clingman via roll-up pinfall on Mike McGuire</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="P1yEvBo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P1yEvBo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="X4Po6l2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/X4Po6l2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tLYZ6jz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tLYZ6jz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AzItB9o.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AzItB9o.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Qitlkxc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Qitlkxc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="PyzeT2b.jpg?2" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PyzeT2b.jpg?2" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wTuyhhb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wTuyhhb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dF4UOhu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dF4UOhu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="DZyaBmM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DZyaBmM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="m6lZaZv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/m6lZaZv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="sTVnzed.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sTVnzed.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Semi-Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> 10-Man Battle Royal for a chance to wrestle for the vacant EPWA El Paso City Championship</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Charro Aguayo, Cyclone Mackey, Dory Delton, Joe Parelli, Ken Hollis, Kommandant Wolff, Luis de la Torre, Paul Harper, Swede Larson, & Young Sampson</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">The ten men are practically frothing at the mouth to wrestle, so referee Tom Churchill has the bell rung as soon as the final competitor enters the ring. The action explodes as the men pair up to brawl and try and force each other over the top rope. Not all the match-ups are fair, however, as Kommandant Wolff and Young Sampson team up on Luis de la Torre and together send the luchador spilling onto the floor for the first elimination almost immediately. We find out there are no true alliances in the bout seconds later, though, when Sampson chops Wolff on the back of his neck and rolls him up to pin the avowed xenophobe with his feet on the ropes for the second elimination. Furious, Wolff screams at Young in German as he returns to the back to universal chants of ‘get lost.’ Back in the ring, Charro Aguayo is close to forcing Joe Parelli onto the ground when Ken Hollis kicks him in the back, taking his place and trying to steal his elimination. This bites him in the ass seconds later though as a pissed-off Aguayo nails both Parelli, (who is on the outside of the ropes) and Hollis in their ‘nether regions’ while the ref is focused on other parts of the match, pushing Parelli over the edge for the elimination and then hoisting Hollis onto his shoulders to throw him over the top rope and all the way to the floor, on top of Parelli. The crowd gasps as Aguayo poses over the bodies of his fallen rivals, laughing. On the other side of the ring Dory Delton and Paul Harper are locked up after having traded moves for a few minutes, with both pulling off stronger and stronger moves and a pinfall seemingly imminent. While Charro gains his two eliminations, Harper manages to get Delton in position for a German suplex, which Harper delivers, rolling over and performing a second for good measure as he holds onto Delton’s arms and eliminates Delton via pinfall with a perfect arch. Aguayo is still celebrating, seemingly unaware of all the action going on behind him, and Harper sees the opportunity and leaps up to force Charro out of the ring. However, Aguayo turns it around on the more exhausted man after a short beat-down by Irish whipping him into the corner and delivering a vicious boot. While Aguayo attempts to force Harper over the top, Swede Larson and Cyclone Mackey, who have been battling intensely in the far corner, seem to be nearing an elimination as both men hit each other with their biggest moves, after each brutal spot taking longer to get up. Young Sampson, who has been slinking around avoiding the other wrestlers to stay fresh, attempts to capitalize on Larson and Mackey’s work on each other and covers Mackey after he receives a particularly nasty power bomb from Larson, but Mackey is able to get his shoulder up at the last second. Frustrated with the interference, Mackey and Larson but the past ten minutes behind them and team up to hit Sampson with a double clothesline, together tossing him over the top rope before returning to the more pressing fight between the two of them. On the other side of the ring Harper has been able to avoid elimination and even the ground between him and Aguayo, and the two remain locked up. After a few strikes that don’t seem to damage either one to any serious extent, they take a step back and realize they are a part of the final four. Mackey and Larson reach a similar lull in their match-up and realize the same thing, and so all four men head to the center of the ring as the crowd goes crazy, knowing that any one of these four men could become the inaugural EPWA champion in two weeks. Charro Aguayo initiates an old-school lucha chain, clasping hands with Harper and Mackey, who in turn connect with Larson. It’s a four-way test-of-strength that sees Charro forced to the ground, where he decides to abandon the tactic and blow Harper and Mackey in the nuts. While Charro jumps after former TPA champion Paul Harper, Larson helps Mackey to his feet, and the two decide to get rid of Aguayo and leave the bout to the ‘honest’ workers. Before they can intervene, however, Charro rolls the reeling Harper up and with a handful of tights eliminates the former champ. Now Aguayo finds himself opposite the babyfaces Swede Larson and Cyclone Mackey, however, who seem determined to eliminate the cheater before coming to blows themselves. Sensing he is in a dangerous situation, Aguayo slides out of the ring under the bottom rope to preserve his place in the match and reaches under the ring curtain to retrieve a small bag. He cautiously re-enters the ring where Larson and Mackey are ready to pounce, and when Mackey makes a move Charro reveals the bag’s contents by blowing a white powder into Cyclone’s face, sending him stumbling back into a charging Larson. Aguayo blows another handful for good measure, and then Irish whips his opponents over the top rope one after another for a controversial victory and a shot to become the inaugural EPWA El Paso City Champion.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Charro Aguayo via over-the-top-rope elimination on Swede Larson</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong> </strong></span><img alt="p0ngvUc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/p0ngvUc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="X4Po6l2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/X4Po6l2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;">Aguayo grabs a mic, smiling as the sold-out crowd at Sled Allen’s Auditorium shower him with boos. He tells the audience that no matter who wins next week’s Battle Royal, Charro Aguayo will beat them at ‘Weekly Catch IV’ and become the first-ever EPWA El Paso City Champion. He says that he has heard rumors his current rival Chino Achiu will be present in that match, (a statement which draws huge cheers, to Aguayo’s frustration) regardless of whether he wins his title match against Hugh Nichols tonight. Charro cites this, as well as the mere existence of Achiu’s title shot tonight after losing his match against Gorilla Poggi last week, as clear favouritism towards the Asian-American, favouritism the crowd doesn’t seem to care about. And the crowd lets him know that’s the case as Aguayo is booed out of the ring and to the back, with a smirk on his face the whole way.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="P1yEvBo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P1yEvBo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p> <img alt="MGQR9AM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MGQR9AM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">VS.</span></strong> <img alt="zqENRLa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zqENRLa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Main Event:</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> TPA Southern Heavyweight Championship Bout</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> Hugh Nichols © vs. Chino Achiu</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size:14px;">Despite having lost his match last week due to interference, Chino Achiu enters this match full of fire and energy, getting the crowd hype as the match begins. With both men of a similar small stature (ironic given the title they are fighting over) and wrestling style, the only real difference is experience with Nichols having 8 years on the younger man, who still boasts an impressive 6-year career. Nichols clearly has Achiu scouted as well, as he is able to out-maneuver Achiu at every turn in the beginning stretch of the match, punishing Achiu with several clotheslines and Body Slams. Finally, Achiu seems to fire up and hits Nichols with a vicious European uppercut when the champion least expects it, and Achiu uses the opening to unleash his box of tricks, hitting Nichols with two running clotheslines and a German Suplex to set up his release German Suplex, which his just barely able to hit before Nichols wakes up. Achiu covers the champion, but Nichols is able to raise his shoulder at the last moment. In disbelief, Achiu is completely distracted when someone appears at the entrance ramp with a steal rod in their hands...</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><img alt="X4Po6l2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/X4Po6l2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> Charro Aguayo!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> The ref immediately turns his attention to the intervener, and while he's dealing with Aguayo, Nichols is able to get to his feet and deliver a blatant punch directly to Achiu’s face, sending him into a daze. Screaming for the ref, Nichols goes for the pin and the ref spins around and drops to the mat, counting the one two three as Nichols retains.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;"> </span><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Winner: Hugh Nichols via pinfall following a ref distraction from Charro Aguayo.
