Tennessee William vs Teddy Powell
The opener of the night is a decent match that gets the crowd hotter, in which Tennessee William defeats Teddy Powell in 11 minutes by pinfall after his Devil’s Crossroad. The blues musician has the upper hand over the veteran for the third time now, showing what Tennessee's talent is made of. A bad defeat for Teddy Powell who will have to roll up his sleeves and come up with something to stay in Lone Star Wrestling. [45] And as if that were not enough, on top of the damage was the mockery for Teddy Powell. Tennessee William strums his guitar in celebration in the post-match, before glaring maliciously at his opponent and smashing the musical instrument over his head! [28]

 

Chip Martin vs Prime Time Jack Pryde
Chip Martin makes his debut here in LSW accompanied by his father Johnny Martin who will manage him from ringside, as both receive a good reception from the crowd. His opponent is another rookie, the charismatic Prime Time Jack Pryde. In an eight minutes bout that has little heat and pretty bad wrestling due to both rookies being off their games, Chip Martin flaws in inexperience and is punished by cynicism and dirty tactics of Jack Pryde, who pins “NextGen” illegally using the ropes for leverage. Prime Time Jack Pryde leaves the ring right after the bell, laughing at Chip Martin and his father. While "NextGen" seems to want to say something to his opponent, Johnny Martin calls his son back to focus, trying to give him advice on how to avoid these flashy pinfalls. [12]

 

Owner Ricky Dale Johnson allows himself to take a few minutes in between card matches for an announcement about the promotion's next event. RDJ praises his own talents who are shining in singles action, then moves on to talk about the many LSW tag teams who are fighting tooth and nail in these early shows to establish themselves above one another. The industry veteran knows well how this biz works though, it’s natural that when there is a prize up for grabs the level tends to rise; for this reason RDJ announces that, in just two weeks, eight tag team will compete in a single-elimination tournament to crown the best duo in the territory. In just two weeks, LSW will host the Mid South Tag Team Series! [59]

 

Following the announcement by RDJ, EBK’s Bullseye and Waylon Walls begin to argue with Johnny Needham and Ralph Liotta of Heartbreak Express, with both duos already gloating at the idea of being able to kick the other team out of the bracket. Remmy Honeyman and Quentin Queen join the “party”, stating that they’ll bring the trophy down into The Hive, and the win will be soooo sweet. To close the circle, The Mad Clowns Hellech and Pierrot stare uneasily at the other duos, shouting something in Spanish about the tournament in a rambling way before leaving the area. [29]

 

Cobra vs Rob Reynolds
A solid midcard match was next, as Cobra takes on Rob Reynolds in a very physical bout that has decent wrestling, but unfortunately not much heat. “The Snake Man” gets close to win it, but eventually falls short as Rob “The Real Deal” Reynolds pins him after a Real Deal Rocket, coming after multiple hard strikes delivered by the Asian-American wrestler from Detroit. Reynolds celebrates the victory with the Referee who raises his hand high inside the squared circle. An extra step in the hierarchies for “The Real Deal”. [40]

 

Cali Slick, Ernest Youngman vs Big Hustle, Tavon Blake Jr
The following is a tag team match that gets some good timing, lasting around 14 minutes. The respective tag teams have a very different way of working together; Ernest Youngman and Cali Slick together probably have more total power than their opponents, but their egos do not allow them to create good chemistry. Big Hustle and Tavon Blake Jr, on the other hand, humbly manage to find a way to team up. Ready to capitalize on the momentum he created, Ernest Youngman fails to send Tavon Blake Jr to the mat as Cali Slick "steals" the tag from him. From then on, things go south for the heel team, as “The Assassin” confronts Cali Slick and pushes him away, causing him to fall into the grip of "The Grappler" Tavon Blake Jr. And as Ernest Youngman forfaits the match alongside valet Venus Angeletti, “The Draw” Cali Slick has to succumb when Big Hustle takes the tag and pins him after a Hustler’s Headbutt. [41]

 

Texas Hangman gets to the ring, accompanied by the unbearable holy man Travis Century who does what he does best, and that’s preach. “The Preacher” begins to rant against the state of Colorado and its inhabitants, constantly clouded by drugs and demonic vices, ending up as the recipient of boos and insults. Travis Century shouts, impatient, quoting Sodom and Gomorrah and inviting anyone in the audience to step up and challenge Texas Hangman to a one-on-one. Strong is the Lord's vengeance, and strong is the hand of his executioner! AMEN! With some surprise, someone from the stands seems to want to accept the challenge, bypassing the railings. Stopped initially by staff members, the individual is recognized by Travis Century as "Southern Justice" Jack Griffith one of the hottest prospects in wrestling at one time who ended up in a downward spiral due to backstage problems and a growing dependency on alcohol. The perfect opponent for Texas Hangman apparently, after what happened with Texas Pete, another sinner to be severely punished. Travis Century urges staff members to let Jack Griffith through, the match is on! The referee comes out from backstage a clear signal of the owner’s approval. [34]

 

Texas Hangman vs Jack Griffith in an Open Challenge
It's by no means a surprise that the wrestling in this match has not been great, but at least Texas Hangman and Jack Griffith have great chemistry when facing each other. In a bout that has decent reaction from the crowd, Jack Griffith beats hard for a few minutes and manages to anticipate Hangman's blows, but eventually falls short after seven minutes when Texas Hangman smashes him with a Choke Slam. Travis Century has done some good work at ringside during the one-on-one. [24]

 

Joffy Laine vs Left Shot Bradford
Finally one against each other, Joffy Laine and Left Shot Bradford have some great single action in a bout with good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd. The key to the match lies in Left Shot Bradford's multiple attempts to connect his brutal Dream Left Hook, avoided each time by "The Jackhammer" Joffy Laine who is very good at anticipating his rival's intentions and counterattacking. Feeling humiliated by Joffy Laine's taunts and audience chants, Left Shot Bradford snaps and, after locking his opponent in the corner, continues to batter him regardless of the rope break. The referee has no other chance than call the DQ on Bradford. [50] After the match, Left Shot Bradford continues to beat up "The Jackhammer" thanks to the advantageous position, with Joffy Laine stuck at the corner. Referee Clinton Edwards has to the impossible to pull Bradford away from the rival, with Left Shot who raises his hands as if to say he is innocent, before turning again toward a revived "The Jackhammer” and knocking him down with a brutal Dream Left Hook that sends Laine into dreamland. [20]

 

The Most Wanted (Renegade Bradley Blaze, Cowboy Buck Winchester, Outlaw Wes Revell) vs Rayne Man, The American Cobras
In a hard-fought main event that sees The Most Wanted compete in the promotion's first three versus three against the babyface team consisting of Rayne Man, Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane, fans in attendance and the ones watching it on demand on WrestleWorld enjoy a bout with good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd. After more than eighteen long minutes of confrontation, Rayne Man sacrificed his own safety to take down Renegade Bradley Blaze at ringside. The Big Guns team up to land Storm Spillane, before throwing out Marvel Malloy over the third rope. Somehow though, Marvel Malloy grabs Outlaw Wes Revell who fall out of the squared circle, Cowboy Buck Winchester turns his head to the legal man Storm Spillane who surprises him with a quick cradle; 1 ... 2 ... 3!! Once again, the American Cobras prove they have the Big Guns' number and pull off a flashy pinfall on them for the second time. Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane regroup on the ramp with Rayne Man, who celebrates with the Cobras and the entire crowd. A furious Renegade Bradley Blaze rages in the ring, ranting at The Big Guns for losing the match. In what was to be a glorious first test for The Most Wanted, the babyfaces find victory, changing the power games within LSW.  Will Rayne Man now return to assault Renegade Bradley Blaze's Texas Heavyweight championship? Are The American Cobras to be considered the heavy favorites in the Mid South Tag Team Series? [49]

Preview for LSW Mid South Tag Team Series 1

 

 

#1. The American Cobras (Marvel Malloy, Storm Spillane)
The tag team of the moment in Lone Star Wrestling - and probably on the entire North American indie scene - Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane are the favorites to win the Mid South Tag Team Series. Coming from two straight wins over The Big Guns, Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell, the Cobras are on a roll, and their palmares is a very good calling card on the tournament eve. Either way, if Malloy and Spillane were to enter the squared circle already certain of taking home the W, they might underestimate their opponent and come out on the losing end. An attitude that doesn't really suit the duo anyway.

 

#2. Left Shot Bradford & Tennessee William
The least tag team that will take part in the tournament, Left Shot Bradford and Tennessee William have however already teamed up at LSW Dust Bowl 2020, triumphing against Joffy Laine and Teddy Powell. Feeling quite in tune - no pun intended with William's musical background - the heels have made it known that they have applied as Series participants, an application that was greeted with joy by owner Ricky Dale Johnson. Capable of fighting hard, and not afraid of trespassing beyond the rules, Left Shot and Tennessee William should definitely not be underestimated, or the risk of seeing them triumph would grow exponentially.

 

#3. EBK (Bullseye, Waylon Walls)
Hood thugs Bullseye and Waylon Walls have already become known for their bravado and fighting manner, but have yet to establish themselves as the tag team to beat within Lone Star Wrestling. The perfect opportunity for Bullseye and Waylon Walls are this very Tag Team Series, which for EBK will begin with a rematch against The Heartbreak Express, to whom they have already lost once. Recently, on their own social media channels, EBK have already started hyping up the bout against Ralph Liotta and Johnny Needham, saying they look forward to defeating them after The Sidewinder.

 

#4. The Heartbreak Express (Johnny Needham, Ralph Liotta)
And speaking of The Heartbreak Express, the two clean-faced babyfaces are still young but already have several admirers among fans and insiders. From the beginning, Johnny Needham and Ralph Liotta have made known their willingness to become a focal point of the Texan promotion, and recently stated that it would be a small dream for them to get to compete against The American Cobras in the Finals of the tournament. The bracket was not benevolent to them in these terms, as at best they could only clash with Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane in the semifinals, if both tag teams qualify. But still, a W of The Heartbreak Express in the first round is certainly not a foregone conclusion.

 

#5. The Oklahomans (Jason Patterson, Jules Night)
Jason Patterson and Jules Night are two young rookies from Oklahoma who are just starting out in the world of pro wrestling, but nevertheless show some grit. On the eve of the Series it is frankly hard to imagine how The Oklahomans can manage to win three single elimination matches in a row and take home the tournament, but sometimes Cinderella stories come true. Surely "The Oklahoma Thunderbolt" and "The Sandman" will try to make a splash, starting by taking out The Big Guns.

 

#6. The Big Guns (Cowboy Buck Winchester, Outlaw Wes Revell)
There is much to be said about Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell, who come to this tournament with bitterness in their mouths. Despite demonstrating their physical dominance, and despite the alliance they entered into with Renegade Bradley Blaze, The Big Guns got fooled twice by The Americans Cobras and their quick cradles. The two mastiffs will have to keep their focus at an all-time high in the Mid South Tag Team Series, a single-elimination tournament that in itself carries many pitfalls and often rewards the duo that can never pull the plug. A trophy win would be a great sign of maturity for The Big Guns, and also a good sign for The Most Wanted's leader, Renegade Bradley Blaze, who will surely demand a victory from them.

 

#7. The Hive (Quentin Queen, Remmy Honeyman)
The energetic babyfaces Quentin Queen and Remmy Honeyman are trying to carve out a space for themselves in the tag team division of Lone Star Wrestling. In their first outing, The Hive made a good impression despite losing to The Big Guns, now they are called upon to go head-to-head with The Mad Clowns in the First Round. Another loss could already make this duo creak, but on the other hand, a good win would give a pretty good self-esteem boost. This would be interesting for sure.

 

#8. The Mad Clowns (Hellech, Pierrot)
A couple of really creepy individuals, the clown luchadors from Mexico look to cause chaos in the Series with their troublesome antics. Pierrot is a powerful, athletic competitor who overwhelms opponents with sheer speed and strength. He possesses a fantastic dropkick, one of the best in pro wrestling. Hellech, instead, combines a nice mix of brawling and classic lucha libre. To date, The Mad Clowns have won their debut match against The Oklahomans, but they have not yet had a chance to show their full skills. This tournament is the perfect opportunity to steal the show, and may reveal a little more about the real threat the two clowns pose.

LSW Mid South Tag Team Series 1
Friday, Week 1, April 2020
Held in West Texas Coliseum (Mid South) in front of 220 people
12,647 viewers on WrestleWorld

 

The owner Ricky Dale Johnson opens up the show, introducing the Mid South Tag Team Series, an eight-tag team single-elimination tournament to shine in the Mid South Territory. After a recap of the four First Round bouts, RDJ kicks off the action: Left Shot Bradford and Tennessee William will go head-to-head with The American Cobras. [78]

 

The American Cobras (Marvel Malloy, Storm Spillane) vs Left Shot Bradford, Tennessee William in the First Round of the Mid South Tag Team Series
In a bout that has great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Left Shot Bradford and Tennessee William hold their own against the Cobras, managing to come close to victory when a perfect situation arises for them. While the referee is out after a fortuitous collision, Tennessee William calls for help from Left Shot Bradford, who takes his partner's guitar to hand it to him and crash it into Marvel Malloy. Out of nowhere though, Joffy Laine appears at ringside to stop his rival Left Shot Bradford, blocking the guitar and crashing it into the railings. "The Jackhammer" takes revenge on Bradford, stopping his and Tennessee William's dirty games, which curse him from the squared circle. Back to focusing on his opponent in the ring, the blues musician is surprised by a run-in by Spillane, who, along with Malloy, hits William with a Cobra Strike for the win, as the recovered referee slowly count the pin. [49]

 

The Heartbreak Express (Johnny Martin, Ralph Liotta) vs EBK (Bullseye, Waylon Walls) in the First Round of the Mid South Tag Team Series
The second bout of the tournament turns out to be a decent match, as The Heartbreak Express fight against EBK for the second time here in Lone Star Wrestling. This time, after ten minutes, Bullseye and Waylon Walls are the ones who walk out with the victory, after the Sidewinder on Johnny Needham, and are now set to face The American Cobras. Also props to the quality of the announcing team, Alfonso Garcia and Fabulous Frank, that lifts the match. [35]

 

In a quick angle backstage straight from the locker room of The Most Wanted, Texas Heavyweight champ and leader of the group Renegade Bradley Blaze hypes up Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell, as The Bug Guns are up next in the Series. Blaze is still reeling from the defeat in the three versus three at LSW No Place for Old Men, so he reminds his allies of the importance of a win tonight. The last bout was a failure, plain and simple, and today walking out without the trophy is not acceptable. [24]

 

The Oklahomans (Jason Patterson, Jules Night) vs The Big Guns (Buck Winchester, Wes Revell) in the First Round of the Mid South Tag Team Series
In a decent match, The Big Guns defeated The Oklahomans in seven minutes when Cowboy Buck Winchester pins Jules Night with a Neckbreaker. Jason Patterson and Jules Night try their best, but the mismatch is too big right now, and The Big Guns have it pretty easy, staying focused on winning and avoiding taunts or other things that might have distracted them. Perhaps, in a few years, The Oklahomans will mature enough and will be able to challenge Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell again in a more balanced bout. [39]

 

The Hive (Quentin Queen, Remmy Honeyman) vs The Mad Clowns (Hellech, Pierrot) in the First Round of the Mid South Tag Team Series
One thing is crystal clear from the last bout of the First Round, Quentin Queen and Remmy Honeyman have so far gone too quiet and have in-ring talents to admire. The Hive bring the fight to The Mad Clowns who must surrender after nine minutes, with an out-of-play Pierrot unable to save Hellech from Honeyman and Queen's double finisher: The Double Sting! The Hive snatches a ticket to the semifinals against The Big Guns. [44]

 

In a short promotional video, Travis Century is in a rather gloomy little room lit by a few candles, with Texas Hangman standing tall behind his back. “The Preacher” continues to rant about sins to be cleansed and divine justice, inviting anyone among sinners to show up at LSW Unchained in just two weeks, to clash with Texas Hangman and be purified. Nothing new, but it will be nice to see who will show up against the dreadful big heavyweight, also it's important to note that Travis Century delivers a good promo, using the freedom to improvise to his advantage. [40]

 

The American Cobras (Marvel Malloy, Storm Spillane) vs EBK (Bullseye, Waylon Walls) in the Semifinals of the Mid South Tag Team Series
The tournament continues as Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane walk out after the longest match of the First Round to take on EBK. In a decent match, The American Cobras add a tag team specialist bonus to their performance and meet expectations by defeating Bullseye and Waylon Walls in around nine minutes, when Storm Spillane submits Bullseye with his high-angle Kneeling Boston Crab. As EBK lick their wounds and lower their ears, returning backstage, Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane hint at a cheer, reminding themselves and the audience that now, however, they are still missing the most important victory, that of the Finals. [44]

 

The Big Guns (Buck Winchester, Wes Revell) vs The Hive (Remmy Honeyman, Quentin Queen) in the Semifinals of the Mid South Tag Team Series
Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell are still on a mission, more focused than ever knowing that in the final they would meet rivals The American Cobras with a win in this bout. The Hive, however, continue to surprise, holding their own against Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell. During the match though, The Mad Clowns come out and begin to stare creepily at Remmy Honeyman and Quentin Queen, who naturally lose a little bit of the focus on The Big Guns. This makes things easier for members of The Most Wanted, that win the Semifinal in twelve minutes when Outlaw Wes Revell submits Remmy Honeyman. [46] After the bell, The Big Guns leave the ring to have some rest before the Final, as Hellech and Pierrot enter the squared circle to attack The Hive and leave them down and out. [9]

 

A promotional video officializes a match for LSW Unchained in just two weeks, as Ernest Youngman is set to square up against Big Hustle once again. Both wrestlers cut a promo during the angle; Ernest Youngman delivers a good one, using the freedom to improvise to his advantage and taking advantage of a great chemistry with his valet Venus Angeletti who backs him up in this one, while Big Hustle struggles a bit. The message is clear though, last time Venus Angeletti had a huge role in Hustle’s defeat, but at LSW Unchained the babyface will not be surprised again. Venus Angeletti may use all her tricks, but nothing will stop Big Hustle from kicking "The Assassin" Ernest Youngman's @$$, who won’t be able to run awayas he did in the last tag team match. [38]

 

As the Final of the tournament gets really close, the owner Ricky Dale Johnson comes out for another announcement, and that’s a huge one! RDJ says he is very satisfied with the tournament so far, and he is sure that the Final will be even better than the rest of the card. The tag team division in LSW is proving very fierce, and the Mid South Tag Team Series is a great way to crown the tag team at the top of the promotion. But to be at the top of a division, it takes being champions, real champions. For this reason, RDJ announces that he has doubled the stakes in the upcoming bout, because the finalists will not only compete for the Series tournament, but also to become the inaugural champs of the brand-new LSW Tag Team Heavyweight title belts. [78] Right following the announcement, The Big Guns come out, this time accompanied by Texas Heavyweight champ and leader Renegade Bradley Blaze. The Most Wanted take a look at the golden trophy and at the shiny tag team belts just revealed. Few moments later, The American Cobras make their entrance, and they also have someone to back them up, Blaze’s rival Rayne Man! The veteran babyface will be in the Cobras' corner to make sure Renegade Bradley Blaze will not interfere in the Final, helping The Big Guns. [28]

 

The American Cobras vs The Big Guns for the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles and the Mid South Tag Team Series
In a bout that has good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, the two tag teams with the odds favor competing for trophy and title straps. The American Cobras pin The Big Guns twice with flashy pinfalls, first time in tag team action and second time in a three-on-three featuring the two wrestlers at ringside, so the psychology around this match it’s once again with The Big Guns who impose their dominance and avoid drops in focus, while The American Cobras try to resist the hard strikes of their rivals to counterattack quickly and strong. Renegade Bradley Blaze tries to interfere, but Rayne Man makes sure that no help will come from ringside, also going face-to-face with the Texas Heavyweight champ. After some long sixteen minutes, The American Cobras build momentum and move closer to the win, but this time a great run-in by Outlaw Wes Revell, who has been the weak link in this bout though, breaks a combination of Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane, who are caught off guard. Storm Spillane gets sent out of the ring, while Cowboy Buck Winchester intercepts Marvel Malloy and hits him with a vicious Neckbreaker: 1 .. 2 .. 3!! The Big Guns are the winners. [49] After the match, Ricky Dale Johnson walks out once again to personally set the championships around the waist of The Big Guns, before leaning the Mid South Tag Team Series trophy to them. Renegade Bradley Blaze is euforic and celebrates with his allies, giving props to them for the victory. Meanwhile, Rayne Man tries to hearten The American Cobras, who really gave so much tonight and deserve their flowers. Before closing the show, there is time for some banter from Renegade Bradley Blaze who, with a microphone in hand, decides to mock Marvel Malloy, Storm Spillane, and of course Rayne Man. [41]

[newbiezness]

The Most Wanted is now the dominant force in LSW, they have all the gold. I thought The Big Guns would come on top from the beginning, but you did a good job giving The American Cobras the first win. The Hive vs The Mad Clowns had a good rating and it seems that feud will continue too, so this tournament was good to build the tag team division.

[Wrestling Machine]

Preview for LSW Unchained 2020

 

Bullseye vs Johnny Needham
Tied 1-1 in tag team actions, EBK and The Heartbreak Express continue to square up, but this time in a one-on-one bout between the two lightweights of the respective teams. Bullseye, with his mix of energetic brawling and reckless high flying moves, is called to fight against Johnny Needham, the bubbly babyface who always showcases big heart and some force of will. As Ralph Liotta and Waylon Walls will be at their partners’ corner, we may expect some brawl even at ringside, something that the referee has to think about for sure.

 

Texas Hangman Open Challenge
As already announced during the Mid South Tag Team Series, Texas Hangman will be at LSW Unchained, once again ready to go one-on-one with anyone who wants to stand in his path of punishment. Led by "The Preacher" Travis Century, who has personally issued the open challenge, the Hangman is on a roll, but many are hoping to see an opponent capable of defeating the heavyweight and shutting that annoying mouth of Travis Century.

 

The Hive (Quentin Queen, Remmy Honeyman) vs The Mad Clowns (Hellech, Pierrot)
In an aftermath of the Mid South Tag Team Series, The Hive and The Mad Clowns are set to fight again, after the W from Remmy Honeyman and Quentin Queen during the First Round of the tournament that eventually bring Hellech and Pierrot to assault them later that night. The creepy Mexican luchadores have put a target on The Hive, eager to destroy it, but Quentin Queen and Remmy Honeyman decide not to hide themselves and personally asked Ricky Dale Johnson for this tag team match. The Hive will look to overcome the clowns again and teach them a lesson, meanwhile it’s really hard to imagine which goals have Hellech and Pierrot in their minds, excluding violence and chaos we guess.

 

   
The Big Guns (Cowboy Buck Winchester, Outlaw Wes Revell) (c) vs The American Cobras (Marvel Malloy, Storm Spillane) for the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles
In what may be their last match-up for a while, the brand-new Tag Team champs and winners of the Mid South Tag Team Series, Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell, are set to defend their belts against Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane. The American Cobras pinned The Big Guns twice in recent months, but The Big Guns took home the biggest win at LSW Mid South Tag Team Series, defeating the Cobras to win the tournament and the tag golds. It is tremendously hard to make a prediction for this bout, but if one thing is for sure is that The Big Guns and The American Cobras will bring their A-Game at LSW Unchained.

 

Big Hustle vs Ernest Youngman
In another one versus one announced during the Mid South Series a couple of weeks ago, Big Hustle looks to avenge the tainted loss he suffered on the hand of Ernest Youngman at LSW Dust Bowl. “The Assassin” has crossed path with Big Hustle since the very first night of action here in Lone Star Wrestling, already defeating him in singles action thanks to his valet Venus Angeletti’s distraction. Despite that, the feeling is that Ernest Youngman has not yet fully surpassed Big Hustle on the squared circle, and this bout could be his chance to prove everybody his real talent and move on, maybe targeting the Texas Heavyweight title straight away. Last time this two have been in the ring together, Big Hustle won it alongside Tavon Blake Jr in tag team action, while Ernest Youngman walked out from his partner Cali Slick who then took the pin. Now one-on-one, there’s no backing down, no friendly fire, just some good ol’ classic southern rasslin’.

 

Joffy Laine vs Left Shot Bradford
In a highly anticipated match, “The Jackhammer” Joffy Laine will finally have his rematch against his rival Left Shot Bradford. At LSW No Place for Old Men, Left Shot ended up being frustrated with Laine’s perfect counterattacks and snapped, getting disqualified and beating the Texan down before hitting the Dream Left Hook. “The Jackhammer” took some payback during the Mid South Tag Team Series when he interfered in Left Shot’s tournament bout. Now even more pissed off and determined, Joffy Laine is counting the days until his one-on-one against Bradford, who stated that he is equally eager to fight and knock out "The Jackhammer". Tensions are definitely high and it is not certain that the match will not end in DQ this time as well, but surely this wild brawl is one not to be missed.

 

Renegade Bradley Blaze (c) vs Rayne Man for the LSW Texas Heavyweight title
At LSW Dust Bowl, Renegade Bradley Blaze defeated Rayne Man for the main championship thanks to the outside interference of The Big Guns, while at LSW No Place for Old Men, Rayne Man succesfully defeated The Most Wanted faction alongside The American Cobras. With much candor, owner Ricky Dale Johnson admitted that champ Bradley Blaze has not yet been able to cleanly overcome, once and for all, his number one contender. Therefore, RDJ made a rematch between the two wrestlers official in the main event of LSW Unchained. Will the champ retain the belt with a crystal-clear victory? Will Rayne Man finally dethrone his rival to become the Texas Heavyweight champ? And what importance, if any, will The Big Guns have on the match this time?

Bullseye vs Johnny Needham [1 Pts]
This rivalry has been ever so slightly tipped in EBK's favour so far, so I'm edging towards Needham winning to put this feud back on an even keel. 

Open Challenge: Texas Hangman vs ??? [1 Pts]
Hangman and his preacher keep up the Lord's work.

The Hive (Quentin Queen, Remmy Honeyman) vs The Mad Clowns (Hellech, Pierrot) [1 Pts]
Though The Mad Clowns got some revenge by attacking The Hive, they still can't afford to go 0-2 here.

The new champions retain to put a pin in LSW's first big tag team feud for the time being.

Big Hustle vs Ernest Youngman [1 Pts]
While I actually think Big Hustle wins to become the next contender to the World title, I still want to stick to my mantra of never betting against Ernest Youngman, even if it costs me a point here.

Joffy Laine vs Left Shot Bradford [1 Pts]
The FCW-inspired feud sees Laine pick up a big win to move a step closer to achieving what he's been unable to do in Puerto Rico and challenge for the World title.

Renegade Bradley Blaze (c) vs Rayne Man for the LSW Texas Heavyweight title [1 Pts]
Another victory over Rayne Man to put a pin in the first World title feud in LSW, with Blaze gaining some far-reaching popularity by virtue of besting the nationally known Rayne Man.

LSW Unchained 2020
Saturday, Week 3, April 2020
Held in New Mexico Armoury (Mid South) in front of 239 people
11,990 viewers on WrestleWorld

 

Bullseye vs Johnny Needham
The opener of the night features the one-on-one match inside the EBK-Heartbreak Express rivalry. The two lightweights of the respective teams square up in a decent match that gets the show off to a good start, focusing on some high-flying maneuvers that do not, however, result in a gymnastic showdown, maintaining a certain linearity with the style of the promotion. After seven minutes, Bullseye makes a fatal mistake after a flip from the third rope, being punished by Johnny Needham's finisher that then goes for the pinfall. Ralph Liotta joins his friend in the ring as The Heartbreak Express celebrate, while Waylon Walls helps Bullseye returning backstage. [32]

 

The Hive (Quentin Queen, Remmy Honeyman) vs The Mad Clowns (Hellech, Pierrot)
Up next is a tag team bout between The Hive and The Mad Clowns, in a rematch from the Mid South Tag Team Series where Remmy Honeyman and Quentin Queen walked out with the W, only to eventually be assaulted by Hellech and Pierrot later that night. In a decent match that lasts around eleven minutes The Hive score another victory over the Mexican luchadores, as Remmy Honeyman hits Hellech with a lariat on the ropes, ending up outside the ring with him, while Quentin Queen reverses Pierrot’s maneuver inside the squared circle into a quick roll up for the 1 .. 2 .. 3!! The Hive celebrate as they bring home another important victory to build some momentum and gain some popularity, Remmy Honeyman expecially is getting hotter and hotter with his bubbly babyface gimmick. And with this win, The Hive may stand to be the next contenders at the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles. [39]

 

In an angle backstage, veteran Johnny Martin is talking to a staff member remembering the good old days, while his son Chip Martin is on his side, entertained by dad’s stories. The Martins are then interrupted by the cocky Prime Time Jack Pryde, who suggests Johnny Martin to talk about something more recent and relevant, like the match that Jack Pryde won last month against Chip Martin. Johnny's son immediately snaps toward Prime Time, but is stopped by his father who urges him to remain calm. Johnny Martin keep his cool, congratulating Jack Pryde on the win and saying he’s sure that in a rematch his son would take home the victory. In fact, he is so sure of it that he announces that he will talk to the owner Ricky Dale Johnson to make sure such the rematch is made official for the next event. [32]

 

Big Hustle vs Ernest Youngman
With Venus Angeletti at his corner, Ernest Youngman goes one versus one with rival Big Hustle in a decent match, that really goes fifty fifty for around nine minutes, with back-and-forth hard punches, impactful maneuvers and strong holds. Venus Angeletti also tries to distract Big Hustle pretty soon in the match, but the babyface stood ready this time, avoiding her and reversing the blindside attack from “The Assassin”. After a big collision in the middle of the ring following a mutual lariat, with Ernest Youngman and Big Hustle fall on the mat to recover, someone appears on stage to enter the ring … It’s Cali Slick! The Californian throws himself on Ernest Youngman and immediately starts to punching him multiple times, as a surprised referee has no other chance to ring the bell. A recovering Big Hustle pushes Cali Slick away, angered by the interference, before getting assaulted by Cali Slick himself, who certainly doesn’t came out to the ring to take prisoners. Meanwhile, Referee Clinton Edwards announces his decision, as this match has been ruled out a No Contest. [40] After the attack, Cali Slick takes a microphone and improvises well throughout his promo, shooting at Ernest Youngman for leaving him alone in the ring during their last tag team match, a disrespectful act that cannot be tolerated by "The Draw”. If "The Assassin" wants to play dirty, he chose the wrong person to mess with, because now Cali Slick is coming for his @$$! And while we're at it, if Big Hustle also wants to meddle in "The Draw"’s business, he can join the whoop train. [20]

 

As their first title defences are up next, The Big Guns are hyped up by the Texas Heavyweight champ, Bradley Blaze. “The Renegade” remembers how important it is for The Most Wanted faction to walk out still with all the golds around their waist tonight. Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell proved to be the top team in LSW when they won the Mid South Tag Team Series and had to to do the same thing once again. Renegade Bradley Blaze won’t be at ringside, as he has to get ready for the main event. [30]

 

   
The Big Guns (Cowboy Buck Winchester, Outlaw Wes Revell) (c) vs The American Cobras (Marvel Malloy, Storm Spillane) for the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles

The biggest tag team match-up you can have in Lone Star Wrestling right now, The Big Guns are set to defend their LSW Tag Team Heavyweight championships against The American Cobras up next. Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell defeat the rivals in the finals of the Mid South Tag Team Series, but previously get pinned twice by Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane, so it’s a really evenly balanced bout. Following the canvas of their previous matches, The American Cobras try to surprise The Big Guns with quick attacks and quick pinfalls, but they fail this time, a sign that Revell and Winchester have learned from their mistakes. In a sixteen-minutes bout that has great wrestling a decent reaction from the crowd, Outlaw Wes Revell connected a combined Law Of The West alongside Cowboy Buck Winchester to successfully pin Marvel Malloy. The Big Guns make defence number one of the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles. [52]

 

Back in the ring, the flabby preacer Travis Century already has a microphone in his hands, issuing an open challenge against Texas Hangman as already announced. "The Preacher" insults the crowd in attendance inside the New Mexico Armoury, calling them a bunch of poor, godless souls. Finally, someone cuts Century’s BS, rather explicitly telling "The Preacher" to shut it. The man of providence - to stay on the spiritual theme - is Tavon Blake Jr, out here to answer the open challenge. [36]

 

Texas Hangman vs Tavon Blake Jr in an Open Challenge
Tavon Blake is getting better at his “Legit Grappler” gimmick, out-wrestle the Hangman in the first minutes of the bout and attracting some sympathy from the crowd. After a couple of hard shots though, Texas Hangman turns things around and gets in control of the bout, despite the disappoinment from the crowd. Following a vicious Big Boot that virtually knocks out the opponent, Texas Hangman picks up Tavon Blake Jr once again, choking his neck for few seconds before hitting his Choke Slam to win the match in around six minutes. The punishment continues on the hand of “The Hangman”, who remains in the shadow of “The Preacher”. [37]

 

Joffy Laine vs Left Shot Bradford
“The Jackhammer” and Left Shot Bradford going at it right from the bell ring, as Joffy Laine targets his rival’s left hand with stomps and hard blows, while Left Shot Bradford is able to hit the opponent a few times with his iron punches on the ribs and torso. A wild brawl with some good ol’ wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd continues to revolve around the psychology of both wrestlers’ gameplans. After thirteen minutes, Bradford closes the rival into the corner and keeps beating him down just like last, risking the DQ for the second time as referee Clinton Edwards has to vigorously pulls him off. Left Shot argues with the referee and pushes him away as Joffy Laine is recovering, trying to hit him with the Dream Left Hook. Joffy Laine avoids it again though, connecting his signature Death Spiral right after to win the match. “The Jackhammer” scores a huge victory over his rival! [49]

 

There’s only one match left on the card, and that’s the main event! A promotional video hypes up the Texas Heavyweight championship bout between the champ Renegade Bradley Blaze and the contender Rayne Man, doing a recap of their rivalry since the very first event in Lone Star Wrestling, the Texan Rumble back in January. [17]

 

Walking backstage with a towel in his hands to wipe away his sweat, a triumphant Joffy Laine is stopped by Tennessee William, who certainly has no words of love for "The Jackhammer" after he cost him and Left Shot Bradford their run in the Mid South Tag Team Series. Joffy Laine replies without half-measures that, if Tennessee’s out here to f*** around, it would be a pleasure for him to make the blues musician find out. Not even able to finish the sentence, Joffy Laine is assaulted by Left Shot Bradford, newly defeated in the ring but never tamed. Tennessee William also joins the beating, hurling himself at "The Jackhammer," but after a few moments another figure enters the brawl, helping Joffy Laine. Rob “The Real Deal” Reynolds sees the two-on-one beatdown and decides to even out the numbers. Reynolds and Laine are able to stop Bradford and William, right before a host of staff members are able to pull them apart and cool down the brawl. [40]

 

Renegade Bradley Blaze (c) vs Rayne Man for the LSW Texas Heavyweight title
In a bout that has good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Renegade Bradley Blaze squares up against Rayne Man and decides to slow things down, spending a good part of the first minutes outside the ring, trying to study the best gameplan and get on his rival’s nerves. Rayne Man delivers a really nice performance, staying focused and keeping it up with the champ. The Big Guns, Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell, also come out at one point, but after a couple of interference attempts, the referee does the right thing and ban them from ringside. Disconsolate after yet another two-count, Renegade Bradley Blaze climbs to the third rope to attempt an aerial move, but Rayne Man manages to reach him in time, engaging in an exchange of high-flying punches. The veteran babyface wins the confrontation and grabs the champion, connecting a super Rayne Drop from the third rope! IT’S OVER! As both competitors are exhausted after the maneuver, Rayne Man merely moves his own remaining arm slightly under the head of Bradley Blaze, going for the cover: 1 .. 2 .. 3!!! [50]

 

The fans in attendance is in raptures, delighted with Rayne Man's victory as he slowly stands up, asking the referee to hand him the Texas Heavyweight title, requests that gets denied! WHY?!? Slowly even the crowd realizes that something is wrong, as Rayne Man begins to argue with the referee in an increasingly vocal manner. Even the owner Ricky Dale Johnson joins them to understand what’s going on, learning of the referee's decision and nodding, as if to give a sign that he realized what just happened. As RDJ gets a microphone, he explains the ref’s call: while true that Rayne Man covered the opponent for the pinfall, his shoulders also remained attached to the mat during the three-count. For this reason, the match has officialy ended in a Draw, meaning that Renegade Bradley Blaze is still your Texas Heavyweight champ. It ends in chaos in the main event of LSW Unchained, with a lucky Renegade Bradley Blaze beating a retreat with his championships, still reeling from the Super Rayne Drop, while Rayne Man continues to argue toe-to-toe with the referee and Ricky Dale Johnson. [47]

The Hive defeating The Mad Clowns was a good decision. I thought The Mad Clowns didn't fit your product and they won, now that I bet on them I got it wrong again haha.

Cali Slick joining Big Hustle and Ernest Youngman in their feud is a interesting decision. We'll see how it goes.

The Big Guns retain in the Match Of The Night, another victory for The Most Wanted. I think The Hive will benefit from a Title Match but, after defeating The American Cobras, The Big Guns are just on another level.

Joffy is gaining some momentum with a good match that was very close in rating to the Main Event. A 2vs2 match was teased, if that's the match to continue this feud it can produce another good rating.

Raine Man was so close to winning the Heavyweight title that it made him look stronger than the champion despite the draw.

Want to take a minute to thank you everyone who took part in LSW Unchained's predictions 😉 hope you're enjoying some good ol' southern rasslin'

Next event will be LSW No Way Out of the Cage!! Preview should be up later on or tomorrow

[Wrestling Machine]

Preview for LSW No Way Out of the Cage 2020

 

Chip Martin vs Prime Time Jack Pryde
As promised during LSW latest event to that prickly Prime Time Jack Pryde, Johnny Martin spoke with Ricky Dale Johnson to make official the rematch between his son Chip Martin and Jack Pryde himself. Of course, "Prime Time" has already spent far too much time on his own social media mocking Johnny and Chip, saying he is looking forward to defeating "NextGen" again under the eyes of his disappointed daddy. Chip Martin has remained quiet instead, and we can think that this approach was advised by his father. Let the facts speak for themselves inside the squared circle.

 

Ralph Liotta vs Waylon Walls
Johnny Needham defeated Bullseye at LSW Unchained, as both wrestlers represented their respective tag teams. This time, the other two halves of the duos will collide in singles action, as The Heartbreak Express’ Ralph Liotta goes one-on-one against EBK’s Waylon Walls. Compared to the other match, this one should see fewer high-flying maneuvers and more physical battle with feet firmly anchored to the mat.

 

Cobra vs Texas Hangman
After some wins in the recent months, Texas Hangman has been challenged by Cobra who expressed his intention to square up against him. An odd individual, “The Snake Man” simply stated that he want to test the so-called executioner, and see if he’s really that tough. Travis Century has accepted the challenge, once again giving the impression that Texas Hangman is a heavyweight pawn in his hands. “The Preacher” also rambled something about the demonic significance of the snake, saying that The Lord will lead the hard fist of Texas Hangman.

 

   
The Big Guns (Cowboy Buck Winchester, Outlaw Wes Revell) (c) vs The Hive (Quentin Queen, Remmy Honeyman) for the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles
Fresh winners of the feud against The American Cobras, Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell have great momentum, the tag belts around their waists and the Mid South Series in their trophy case. The Big Guns don't want to jam anymore, but a couple of rising babyfaces will try to avoid all their shots, as Remmy Honeyman and Quentin Queen have been named as the number one contender’s for the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight championships after some good results. With The Cobras back in line, it only made sense to RDJ to book The Hive in a title match against Winchester and Revell. The odds-on favorites are with The Big Guns, and it couldn't be otherwise given their form, but for sure Queen and Honeyman will fight tooth and nail to overturn expectations.

 

Left Shot Bradford, Tennessee William vs Joffy Laine, Rob Reynolds
We all know the heated rivalry between Joffy Laine and Left Shot Bradford, with "The Jackhammer" defeating clean Bradford at LSW Unchained. Right at the last event, Tennessee William attacked Joffy Laine backstage along with Left Shot, as the heels were stopped only by the arrival of Rob Reynolds. "The Real Deal," a hard-hitting lightweight with a past in MMA that has remained in the promotion's midcard thus far, did not turn his back on a struggling Joffy Laine, acting boldly and helpinh him, earning the respect of "The Jackhammer”. A tag team match between the two groups came out pretty naturally, and the owner Ricky Dale Johnson made it official via LSW’s official social page.

 

Cali Slick vs Big Hustle vs Ernest Youngman
Next on the list is a ménage à trois as the rivals Big Hustle and Ernest Youngman have recently been assaulted by Cali Slick during their one vs one bout. The Californian made a statement at LSW Unchained, demanding respect for himself and saying to be ready to take down both Youngman and Hustle in a match. For “The Draw” Cali Slick it all started when "The Assassin" Ernest Youngman left him alone in a tag team match after some skirmishes, costing Slick the match as he was pinned right after by Big Hustle. The third wheel in this vindictive act, Big Hustle certainly did not like the fact that he was battered in the process, and now he is more than happy to crush both Ernest Youngman and Cali Slick in a Three Way Match, where the winner will be the first competitor to pin or submit an opponent.

 

Renegade Bradley Blaze (c) vs Rayne Man in a Cage match for the LSW Texas Heavyweight title
Once again, Blaze and Rayne Man will main event the show, as the aftermath of the controversial draw at LSW Unchained have been huge. Rayne Man expressed his displeasure and still disagrees with the decision of referee Clinton Edwards, also arguing with owner Ricky Dale Johnson, Renegade Bradley Blaze started putting his beak into the issue within days, mocking the rival and beating the point several times that he is still the champion, while Rayne Man remained empy-handed, with baby tears in his eyes. Determined to settle the issue once and for all, but also aware that an additional clash between the two rivals could be a great draw for the promotion, RDJ made official a texas Heavyweight title rematch inside a Steel Cage, the very first in the history of Lone Star Wrestling. It’s important to point out that in the Cage match the only way to win is via pinfall or submission, and escaping the cell will result in a forfeit, which for Renegade Bradley Blaze would also result in the immediate loss of the championship. There is really no way out of the Cage!

LSW No Way Out of the Cage 2020
Saturday, Week 3, May 2020
Held in Colorado Springs Bar (Mid South) in front of 246 people
9,393 viewers on WrestleWorld

 

The owner of LSW Ricky Dale Johnson opens the show, welcoming everyone to a new Lone Star Wrestling event, recapping tonight's card and focusing especially on the first Cage match in the promotion's history, as Renegade Bradley Blaze is set to defend his LSW Texas Heavyweight title once more from the assault of his rival Rayne Man in a must-see main event. RDJ knows how to work the crowd and does a good job lighting them up. [84]

 

Chip Martin vs Prime Time Jack Pryde
The opener is a rematch from LSW No Place For Old Men, as Prime Time Jack Pryde goes one-on-one against Chip Martin, managed by his father Johnny Martin at ringside. Just like last time, in-ring performances end up being pretty bad and the bout doesn’t have much heat, but is all right though, that what to expect from two green rookies on a indie show. Last time, “Prime Time” won by illegally using the ropes for leverage, this time he defeats Chip Martin again by grabbing his trunks during a quick pinfall attempt. After the bell Chip Martin argues with the referee Erin Lawrence, calling for the illegal move by the opponent. Johnny Martin also confronts the referee In a quiet but disappointed way, meanwhile on the ramp Prime Time Jack Pryde mocks both Martins by making the gesture of crying. [15]

 

Ralph Liotta vs Waylon Walls
The following is part of The Heartbreak Express - EBK feud inside the tag team division. At last event Johnny Needham defeated Bullseye, but tonight EBK’s Waylon Walls ties it up by defeating Ralph Liotta in nine minutes after his Jumping Double Arm DDT in a decent match. Very similar to Needham-Bullseye bout in terms of quality level, this match has been elevated a bit thanks to Alfonso Garcia and Fabulous Frank on the commentary. The feud between The Heartbreak Express and EBK is once again well balanced, so one more tag team match could be the right move to discover the best duo. [33]

 

   
The Big Guns (Cowboy Buck Winchester, Outlaw Wes Revell) (c) vs The Hive (Quentin Queen, Remmy Honeyman) for the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles
Talking about tag teams, the kings of the division are certainly The Big Guns, holding the Tag Team belts and the Mid South Series. Their opponents are probably the most surprising duo in LSW so far, Quentin Queen and Remmy Honeyman, who despite having lost to Cowboy Buck Winchester and Outlaw Wes Revell in the Series, are proving to be tough bones. In a bout that has good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, The Hive get close to win the championships, but eventually fail to connect their Double Sting finisher on Outlaw Wes Revell who is saved by his partner. Regaining control of the match, Cowboy Buck Winchester becomes the legal man and pin Quentin Queen after connecting the Law Of The West alongside “The Outlaw”. The Big Guns make defence number two of the LSW Tag Team Heavyweight titles after twelve minutes. [47]

 

Cobra vs Texas Hangman
“The Snake Man” Cobra brings a good fight against the man he challenged, “The Hangman”, hitting him hard with punches and chops. A decent bout that once again ends up with Texas Hangman taking control of the fight after a couple of huge blows, defeating Cobra in eight minutes by pinfall with a Choke Slam. [30] After the bell, Travis Century joins his executioner in the ring and shouts against Cobra, who slowly gets back on his feet. After a staredown, “The Snake Man” does the unespected by kneeling in front of “The Preacher” and Texas Hangman, as he seems to ask for redemption. A surprised Travis Century needs a couple of seconds to digest what just happened, but then proceeds to take Cobra’s head between his hands as if to cleanse him. Does that mean that Cobra just joined Travis Century and Texas Hangman in their crusade? [33]

 

Left Shot Bradford, Tennessee William vs Joffy Laine, Rob Reynolds
This tag team match begins even before the bell ring, as Tennesee William and Left Shot Bradford assault Rob Reynolds during his entrance. Tennessee William tries to hit “The Real Deal” with his guitar while Bradford holds him, but luckily Joffy Laine comes out just in time to make the save, as both duos brawl at ringside for a couple of minute before reaching the squared circle to officialy start the bout. In a bout that has good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Rob Reynolds is the one to eat the pin after thirteen minutes as Left Shot Bradford hits him with the lethal Dream Left Hook. This mid-show match gets the crowd hotter in preparation to the last two matches on the card. William and Bradford celebrate, with Left Shot Bradford who seems to tell Joffy Laine he’s looking forward to hitting him with his iron hook as well. “The Jackhammer” nods in agreement, also eager to clash with Bradford again. [44]

 

Cali Slick vs Big Hustle vs Ernest Youngman
The Three Way match featuring a trio of high-profile workers here in Lone Star Wrestling doesn’t disappoint the fans, having some great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd here in the Colorado Springs Bar. Ernest Youngman and Venus Angeletti chemistry adds something to the bout, as the valet of “The Assassin” helps him by distracting both opponents, Cali Slick is getting better and better at his swagger “The Draw” gimmick, while Big Hustle simply does his great job inside the squared circle. In a very uncertain finish, Ernest Youngman locks Big Hustle and sets up for The Hit to win the bout, but Cali Slick interrupts his signature move, knocking him out with his Slick-Back. "The Assassin" rolls out of the ring, as Cali Slick is anticipated by Big Hustle that takes him down with a Hustler’s Headbutt. After fifteen minutes of three-way action, Big Hustle scores a huge W!

Renegade Bradley Blaze (c) vs Rayne Man in a Cage match for the LSW Texas Heavyweight title
After both competitors make their entrances, the Cage structure hanging over the ring slowly comes down, kicking off the first Cage match in Lone Star Wrestling history. The heated rivalry may have come to its final act, a championship match where the only way to win is via pinfall or submission, and escaping the cell will result in a forfeit, which for the champ would also result in the immediate loss of the championship. It’s going to be brutal, it’s going to be a brawl, there’s No Way Out of the Cage! In a bout that has good wrestling revolving around the in-ring psychology that can bring such a stipulation, both Rayne Man and Renegade Bradley Blaze come close to win on a couple of occasions, but they are left with only nearfalls in their hands as stamina and resistance inevitably crumble. After eighteen minutes, Renegade Bradley Blaze is able to connect his Dallas Drop to finally win the Cage match by pinfall to retains the LSW Texas Heavyweight title. [48]
