Koloff comes out and sees the trainee and immediately gets into the ring and starts screaming at him to get out of the ring. The trainee isn't sure how to react and seems to apologize to Koloff, who takes the microphone off of Styles. He yells at the trainee to get out of the ring for his autograph time, and the trainee stutters as he points out he's just doing his jobs. Koloff begins to attack the trainee when Mr. Sandman hits the ring for the save, the surfer has saved the student ahead of his match!</span></span></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div><img alt="eeKIUGD.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/eeKIUGD.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> vs </span></span></div></div></div><img alt="9riONpH.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9riONpH.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Mr. Sandman w/ Stevie Richards vs. Tony Stetson</strong></span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>This next match is a bit more looser, regarding the rules, as the surfer Mr. Sandman and the cowboy Tony Stetson.

This is a standard tag affair, with Doug playing the face in peril for a lot of the match as Roma & Lawler made quick tags cutting the ring in half, but when Eddie got the hot tag the crowd grew hot. It looked like the hot tag was enough as Eddie set Roma up for the piledriver, but the King got into the ring and as referee Dave Hebner tried to regain control, looking to push Lawler back to his corner, Lawler managed to throw a fireball at Eddie! Hebner was completely unaware of it as Doug Gilbert came rushing over to attack Lawler, but it was for naught as the fireball was enough for Roma to roll up Eddie for the 3!</em></span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Roma & Lawler d.

For New Japan and World Championship Wrestling, this secondary belt gives a good chance for main eventers to hold a title while not occupying the main belt of the company. For smaller companies, this may give an opportunity for more touring championship defenses as WCW/JCP seemed to almost put the title in a deadlock...

NWA Pennsylvania Tag Team Tournament - Opening Round Match

The Confederacy v. The Samoan Swat Team w/ Kokina

This is a wild brawl from the getgo with both teams going at each other from the bell to the bell. Kokina's appearance at ringside is intimidating, which is saying something as both Fatu and Samu are big guys too, but Kokina is just that much more massive. His ringside presence comes in handy too for the SST as whenever either member of the Confederacy think about bending the rules, Kokina is nearby. The Double Diving Headbutt on Jimmy Jannetty is enough to end the match, putting the Samoan Swat Team into the semi-finals.

"Pretty" Paul Roma v. The Pegasus Kid

Pegasus Kid is making his debut in ECW and is racking up air miles as he's a regular in New Japan, CWA in Germany and UWA in Mexico, so what's another date for the youngster? His opponent is Paul Roma, who has alligned himself against the Gilberts and with Jerry Lawler. This is a pretty technically solid matchup here, but the crowd is absolute not happy to see Roma as they seem to boo everything he does. Of course, he is the heel but this feels more like a complete disdain than anything. Perhaps the crowd will warm up to Roma's mat work. on the other end, Pegasus Kid absolutely got pops and showed what he's capable of in this fifteen minute match. It seemed like Pegasus Kid was going to get the victory after hitting a vicious German Suplex on Roma, but instead of going for the pin he went for a Diving Headbutt which missed, opening enough time for Roma to get to the top rope and nail Pegasus with the elbow drop.

As Roma celebrates, Eddie Gilbert hits the ring like a madman. He's swinging wildly, with one eyepatch on, sending Roma running off. Gilbert tosses Pegasus Kid over the top rope as he screams for Roma to get in the ring, who simply shrugs off Gilbert. Gilbert gets a microphone and uses it to tell Roma off.

 

"You and Lawler blinded me and nearly crippled my brother, but you didn't kill us Roma. And that was your mistake! So next month, St. Patrick's Powerslam, we have ourselves a rematch - and this time we make it a Street Fight!"

Taz v. Larry Winters

The wildman Taz is taking on Larry Winters in Taz's Philly debut. Taz absolutely lives up to his gimmick of a savage, attacking and looking to almost torture Winters in this match up with his different suplexes, tosses and slams. The finish comes when Taz locks in the Kata Ha Jime on Winters, forcing Winters to begin yell out that he quits. Taz, however doesn't let go, even despite Dave Hebner's pleas for Taz to stop - Taz doesn't relent - forcing Hebner to overturn the decision and reward the win to Winters instead. This only furthers anger Taz who turns the Kata Ha Jime into a suplex!

NWA Pennsylvania Tag Team Tournament - Opening Round Match

The Super Destroyers vs The Ebony Experience

Another opening round match to determine the first tag champs sees the crowd favorites Ebony Experience. The brothers use the hot crowd to their advantage and much like last week, wrestle a smart tag match - outsmarting the Destroyers even when they attempted to cheat - with Stevie Ray and Booker T hitting the Towering Inferno on both Super Destroyers and Booker getting the pin.

Shane Douglas vs. Stevie Richards

Douglas lets everyone know that class is in session and poor Stevie Richards is put on selling duty for Douglas who is both trying to work off some ring rust and work out some new moves not seen in his WWF/WCW runs. With that said, despite Richards being the obvious jobber - he manages to get a great hope spot in which the crowd pops for as Richards manages to pull together a string of moves that almost send Douglas not just to the mat, but down for the 3 count. But that was as close as he got as the near 3 count put Douglas into second gear, and the Superstar came in like a man possessed, ending the match with a Belly to Belly and a overly cocky pin.

After the match, Douglas grabs the mic and despite breathing heavy he cuts a promo about the future of the NWA and ECW. He reminds everyone how he said school was in session and it was, pointing at the downed Richards.

 

"And every time I step into this ring, I will teach everyone a lesson. The lesson? There isn't a soul in the back who can go toe-to-toe with the Superstar. And soon, I will be holding the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and bring some class to this dump of a company and shit hole of a state!"

 

Douglas gives a few stomps to Richards who tries to fight back, ticking off Douglas even more. He begins to lay in hammer punches on the obviously beaten Richards. Having seen enough of his protégé getting beaten, Mr. Sandman runs to the ring chasing off Douglas from the ring. Sandman gets on the mic and lets Douglas know he's a soul who can not only go toe-to-toe, but can and will beat Douglas!

Doomsday w/ Gary Hart v. Salvatore Bellomo

Bellomo was one of the better known job guys in the WWF during the 80s but he's an imposing man. However, next to Doomsday all of that is gone because the nearly 7 foot tall monster in a mask is just a monster and he makes quick work of Bellomo here, taking the fight to Bellomo and after some stiff shots, an impressive chokeslam is enough for the monster to win.

As soon as the match is over, Hart is on the microphone calling out Muraco. He says "We Want Muraco!" a few times before the Magnificent One makes his way down, unfazed by Doomsday standing across the ring from him.
Hart says Muraco has a challenge for St. Patrick's Powerslam and Muraco says he accepts, stepping up to Doomsday!
The two behemoths are toe-to-toe but before anything can happen however, someone's jumped into the ring and attacks Muraco.
Bam Bam Bigelow
is in ECW and he and Doomsday are laying a brutal beatdown on Muraco for the second show in a row, Muraco eats a chokeslam from Doomsday and this time Bigelow follows up with a Greetings from Asbury Park piledriver!

Market Street Fight

One Man Gang v. Kokina

This match is an absolute wild one from the getgo with both men bringing weapons with them. One Man Gang has a trashcan full of different plunder while Kokina brought a baseball with him. The two are ready to go from the bell and weapons galore. Even some of the fans have gotten involved, attempting to hand things to Kokina or One Man Gang when nearby. This isn't the type of match Gang would normally work, but he absolutely thrives in the freedom to go anywhere and do anything, as does Kokina. We see some blood from One Man Gang when Kokina uses a beer bottle handed to him by a fan to bust open Gang and that's when all hell breaks loose as the sight and taste of his own blood motivates Gang to go into the attack. He and Kokina begin to brawl into the crowd as well when two fans attack Kokina with chairs! Gang high fives both men and yells at them to do it again and it's obvious those aren't fans but
The Confederacy!
It seems they are upset about Kokina being at ringside earlier and both men take turns hitting headshots to a downed Kokina! The Samoan Swat Team is rushing through the crowd to fight off the Confederacy who go to meet them, but it's long done for Kokina. One Man Gang hits the 747 Splash on the concrete to secure the victory.
