Oldschool Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 THE PATRIOT IS BACK!!!!!!!1 I love masked wrestlers, and now I get to play the guessing game here again... Nice to see Nigel, get a TV victory I like the end of the show...Even though, I too am not a huge fan of the Danger Zone, I can envision all 6 men fighting in the ring with Scott Hudson going Nuts as the credits are rolling and him yelling at the top of his lungs, "we're out of time, see you next week on Fusion as the crowd is hot for the 6way brawl...

Wildfire1324 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 [CENTER][/CENTER] [B]Excerpt from the Bruce Mitchell Audio update on PWTorch.com for Friday October 7th, 2006. Wade Keller: Okay Bruce, tommorrow night is NWA Showdown 4. How do you feel the go home edition of FUSION played out this past week? Bruce Mitchell: Well let's start with the Patriot. That is clearly not Tom Brandi and it not Del Wilkes. I'm not sure who it is under that mask but I know its not either of them. Once again the NWA has zero leaks on who this might be. Whoever it was, he looked very familiar but I can't place him. WK: I couldn't get any info on who it was either but I agree he seemed familiar. I suppose this could wind up being another frustrating mystery for the fans of the NWA. I guess we'll find out Saturday night if he can work at all. BM: I also interested to see what kind of role that Matt Weise plays on the show as well. He's laid low for a few weeks now but he has a match with Colt Cabana and he's also hinted that he may be involved in the Chris Hero and Matt Bloom title match. WK: Weise has been too good to keep down for too long. It seems like they're going to continue the program with Matt Bloom although I'm not sure what direction they're heading with it. Anyway that is enough on the NWA for now. We'll cover some more of the show on part two tomorrow as well as review the new WWE DVD, GARBAGE WRESTLING: The Best of Duke "The Dumpster" Droese.....[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Nice, very nice....Been wondering where you've been, after all its been like 10 days (kidding) Like Weise getting win, and interupting N.A. title match I also LIKE The NEW WAVE...Interesting to see where you go with Prazak and Rave and how you develope them, especially as (if they are) faces... I'm all for Briscoes retaining And do I smell an eventual turn by the Patriot on Mr. Wrestling III...Nice A rated match, so Patriot must have some good skills Team Punishment dismantling Danger Zone (Well at least New Jack) Seems safe to say we've seen the last of him Looking forward to the Main Event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfire1324 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Lauren Jones is in the ring with a microphone in her hand. D'Lo Brown and Naomichi Marufuji have both made their entrances and are awaiting the official announcements. [B]"Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! This match is scheduled for one fall with a forty five minute time limit and is for the National Wrestling Alliance Heavyweight Championship of the World!"

[B]"Okay men, I want a good, clean fight. On my sign, you will go back to you corner and when the bell rings come out fighting. Are there any questions?"[/B] Both men shake their heads no. In lieu of a handshake both men bow in respect to one another and then in unison bow before referee Rudy Charles. D'Lo looks calm and collected, the quiet confidence of a champion.

Wildfire1324 Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Scott Hudson notes that this is one of Marufuji's first American matches ever and yet the crowd still shows him tremendous respect. Jim Cornette notes the intelligence of the NWA fans. D'Lo kicks him in the thigh to start. He does it again and then chops him to really let him know what he's in for. Marufuji powers D'Lo into the corner and hits a strong chop. They knuckle up and D'Lo hits a gut wrench suplex and follows with a shoulder block that causes Marufuji to bail. D'Lo hits a baseball slide then stuns the crowd with a plancha dive. He tosses Marufuji back into the ring and gets a two count. He hits bodyslam and an elbow drop for another two. He puts on a chinlock and turns it into a dragon sleeper. As Marufuji makes it to the ropes. D'Lo chops him in the corner but it only fires Marufuji up. He fires back with violent chops and punches but D'Lo kicks his chest and hits an enziguiri. He nails him on the ground with a few stomps and a kneedrop with causes Marufuji to roll out of the ring again. D'Lo follows him out and hits another kick to the thigh. He goes for another but Marufuji catches his leg and sweeps out his other leg, smacking D'Lo's head on the concrete. He pulls him up and chops the hell out of him on the crowd divider and finishes up with a flash kick that sends D'Lo into the crowd. He pulls him back and hits a DDT on the floor. Back in the ring Marufuji puts on a front facelock but D'Lo gets to the ropes. He hits a pair of knees to the gut and a falling chop for a two count. He goes back to the front facelock but D'Lo makes it to the ropes again. D'Lo blocks a suplex and hits one of his own. They trade back and forth chops until Marufuji comes out the victor of the exchange. He locks on a cobra twist. Jim Cornette comments on the horrible welts forming on D'Lo's chest and shoulder. Marufuji releases the hold and hits another falling chop for a two count. He puts on a chinlock and chops at D'Lo's head. D'Lo powers out of a capture suplex and hits a belly to belly suplex of his own. He drops his patented bobblehead legdrop. D'Lo sets Marufuji on the top rope and hits the superplex for another two count. Scott Hudson comments on the stunned look on his face. Slightly frustrated, he knees Marufuji in the head and hits a big kick to the face. He picks him up and hits the Sky High powerbomb for a two and three quarter count. He locks on the STF but Marufuji fights it of with his hands and crawls towards the ropes so D'Lo switches to a crossface. Marufujii reaches with his other arm so D'Lo puts on an armbar which has the crowd in a frenzy! Marufuji finally gets to the ropes with his foot. D'Lo whips him into the corner but Marufuji avoids a charge and hits the perfect inside cradle for a very close two count. He chops D'Lo into the corner and then relentlessly hits chop after chop after chop until D'Lo is actually bleeding from the chest and then follows up with a capture suplex. He gets another close two count when D'Lo gets his hand on the bottom rope. D'Lo comes back with a few stiff forearms but Marufuji puts on a sleeper hold. He hits a half nelson suplex landing D'Lo on the tippy top of his head for yet another close two. D'Lo comes back with a series of left and right jabs and floors him with a big short arm clothesline. He begins to scale the ropes and attempts the Lo Down frog splash but Marufuji rolls out of the way. He gets back to his feet and attempts the Shiranui but D'Lo blocks that. He bodyslams Marufuji and attempts a second Lo Down and hits it this time! One. Two. Thr.....no, Marufuji gets his foot on the rope at the absolute last second and the manages another perfect inside cradle for another very close two count. He slides under the ropes and then bounces back up to nail the World champion with a beautiful springboard dropkick. D'Lo is shaken and Marufuji attempts another Shiranui and this time nails it. One. Two. DING! DING! DING! The bell rings and Lauren Jones takes the microphone. [B]"The time limit has expired and the referee has declared this bout a draw!"[/B] Although the crowd is disappointed by the outcome, they do give the two exhausted warriors a standing ovation. D'Lo and Naomichi shakes hands and embrace in a great sign of sportsmanship and mutual respect. As Showdown 4 goes off the air, the crowd chants, "That was awesome!" and more streamers hit the ring.
