As I scrolled through my phone before the show, I mentioned a little tidbit to Steve,"So Notorious won the COTT World Tag Team titles last night at a CZCW event boss. I wonder if we should consider bringing them in? I bet they'd work well with some of our teams."

 

"Don't call me boss and yeah, that might not be a bad idea although they're not super well known on this side of the country. That reminds me, we have a COTT conference call coming up soon and I'd like for you to take part in it."

 

Before I could respond, our head referee, Michael Bull, came over and asked to speak to Steve in private. They walked off to the side and by the slump in his body language, I could tell the boss didn't get good news. The two men shook hands and Steve walked back over to me.

 

"First thing after the show, start reaching out to some of the better indie refs. Michael signed with TCW."

In a solid opener, Riley McManus' team gets the win when Riley rolls up Devasting Don for the surprise pinfall. During the match, the announce team notes much to their surprise, Don actually looks like he's lost a few pounds, like he's gone from "morbidly obese to just regular obese." according to J-Ro.(32)

 

Playboy Jake Sawyer and Dreadnought make their way to the ring.

"The Playboy just wants to let you know that we're not responsible for what is about to happen to Crockett or for that matters, anything else that happens tonight!, the manager says with a smirk.

The Masked Stranger's trio wins the day when the masked man makes his rival Denny King tap out to the Cobra Clutch.(32)

The feud between Brooklyn's Finest and the DiMeo Family continues in a Gang War six man tag and once again, the DiMeo's steal the win when Sweet Sal pins Animal Harker with the Greco-Roman handful of tights.(35)

 

Sammy the Shark has some things to say about the man who attacked him last month in a backstage promo.

 

"Art Reed, you're pretty tough when I'm not looking and just wrestled a match. But tonight, you have the Shark's full attention and there's blood in the water so I've got bad news for you. The Shark has a Full House and the best you can do my man,....is go fish." (51)

 

<a href="

https://imgur.com/mcBkSkk"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/mcBkSkk.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a><a href="https://imgur.com/LfKOI5T"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LfKOI5T.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a><a href="https://imgur.com/e6JTw01"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/e6JTw01.jpg" title="source: imgur.com" /></a>

In the best match of the night, Sammy the Shark and Art Reed battle for over twenty minutes before Sammy misses a top rope elbow and crashes to the mat. Reed quickly capitalizes and clamps on the Dread Lock in the center of the ring. The Shark fights valiantly but ultimately passes out from the pain. (46)

 

Sammy the Shark slowly regains his faculties and gets back to his feet. He asks for the house mic.

 

"You know I think Art is still a low life but kudos to him on the win. I'd like to pay him back and return the favor in a rematch but I'm headed on the bigger and better things than him. And quite frankly....."

 

Before he can finish, the lights in the building go out. When they come back on, Dreadnought and Playboy Jake Sawyer are standing in the ring with him. The still groggy Shark is in no shape for a fight when the behemoth crushes him with a lariat after a signal from his manager. Dreadnought picks him back up, only to smash him with a Dread Bomb. And then another. And another, leaving the departing star heading out on his shield. (33)

 

Tennessee William looks irate as he goes to cut a backstage promo. He begins to say something and then stops and bites his lips. The pattern repeats itself twice more before he walks away, leaving Big Ern to handle things.

 

"Here's the facts. The champ is so irate at this ridiculous stipulation that he doesn't even know what to say but I do. This company is furious that Tennessee William and the Boys From the Yukon continue to rack up win after win. That's a fact. This company is furious that their golden boys, their cash cows, their "marketable superstars", Brutus Milano and the LA Stars can't take home the gold. That is also a fact. So they create this absurd clause but despite this company's best efforts, the Wild Country Outlaws are going to take care of business tonight and that is an indisputable fact!" (58)

Six of the best workers in the company deliver another quality match and battle back and forth for over twenty minutes. The end comes when Big Ern tries to interfere and slug Star #2 with a set of brass knuckles but the masked man moves, leaving Whitehorse Whittaker to take the blow. LA Star #2 covers him for the pin and the earned title shots for his team.(42)

 

 

SHOW RATING: 35

 

Note to self: Yeesh. Ease up on the angles.

From PWReporter.com:

 

"......and finally let's touch on New York City Wrestling's latest show. I've been told from friends who were there that Gang Wars was probably the weakest effort to date under the new Steve Flash regime. Even though the six man tag main event delivered and the grudge match between the former Sammy Smoke and veteran Art Reed was excellent, there was apparently a little much too much talking and post-match shenanigans and not enough in-ring action for the notoriously hard to please crowd on hand in South Philly."

 

"However, what I am hearing is that the bigger story was occurring before the show where the company runs prelim matches with the younger workers before the main crowd enters the building like they have been doing for a few months now I've been told. We knew that the company already had spent some money to bring in green, but hyped young prospects Charlie Corner, the son of the former SWF World Heavyweight Champion Dread, wrestling under a mask as Dreadnought already up on the main card, plus the recently announced super prospect Will Beaumont who had a falling out with RAW down under and made the leap the States.

 

What hasn't been made public however, not even on the worker's own social media accounts, is that the company has an embarrassment of young riches working for them including second generation stars like powerful brawler James Diaz, the son of Raymond Diaz, and the son of Primal Rage, who was known as Original Sinner but has been working under the name Primal Beast, as well as charismatic talker Garry the Entertainer who had a falling out with MAW and the young luchadore powerhouse, Aztec Prince, in addition to their homegrown prospect, the giant Super Massive Destroyer that they have been holding off of shows for a while now to get additional seasoning. From what I am hearing from someone who saw all the kids working at this past weekend, Beaumont and Diaz are the closest to making appearances on the main card."

 

"No word on if Steve Flash himself, his right hand man Art Reed or the company's young booker, Franklin Fumier is the one making these signings. However, in my opinion, it's a sign of better days being ahead for a company that for too long has felt stuck in the 1980's if they're looking to finally rebuild around some younger talent. Whoever it is making these signings, they clearly have an eye for talent so what shall see what is next for NYCW....."
