UPTOWN WRESTLING NEWS BLOG #7 PWB GRAPE CITY CON

By Mike Vanek

It's six am... My alarm didn't go off but it didn't need to because something inside me screamed "HEY GET UP!! IT'S TIME FOR WRESTLING!!" And I jumped up and slammed a pot of coffee and met my ride outside to Lodi California.

This would not be a regular show. Today was a special day as we showed up the night before to prepare for a tremendous opportunity to learn from one of the true legends of the ring Chavo Gurrerro Jr.

About a dozen or so wrestlers a referee and myself showed up in the early morning hours for a seminar taught by a member of one of the greatest wrestling families there is...

After a short lecture Chavo had the wrestlers get in the ring 2 at a time and he gave his pointers as the 2 combatants wrestled. He was awesome and very positive and supportive and he displayed his never ending knowledge of the wrestling bussiness at the end he led us all to another building and gave us all a lesson on promo's and we watched a few wrestlers did promo's while Chavo watched and gave pointers. I will never forget the morning we spent with the great Chavo Gurrerro Jr!!

After a short break we began getting ready for the wrestling show during the comic con...

Match #1

Crotte The Super Beast vs Renegade James Von Eerie

This match pitted the massive masked monster Crotte vs the hungry young wrestler James Von Eerie in a excellent opening match that got the crowd amped up without the benefit of sound equipment for introductions and entrance music.

The renegade put up a hell of a fight in this battle of the wrestler vs the super beast but it just wasn't enough to overcome the awesome force of the masked monster Crotte The Super Beast!!

Match #2

The Arc Angel Michael Nothing vs Midas...

This match put the power house Midas vs The Arch Angel Michael Nothing. It was a exhibition of wrestling skill beyond all limits. These guys matched each other move for move exciting the Comic Con Crowd with the Arc Angel Pulling out the win!!

Match #3

The Honor Society vs The Reno Rejects...

For the PWB Tag Titles!!

This match pitted one of the most well known tag teams and 2 of my favorite wrestlers The Honor Society, Sir Samurai and Drake Frost!! Vs a team known as the "Reno Rejects" and it was a true battle as the Reno rejects were thoroughly destroyed handily by the reigning and defending PWB Tag Team Champs who walked away with the win!!

Match #4

Patrick Fitzpatrick vs Fun Size

This match was contrast in styles as the pint size newcomer Fun Size took on the veteran Patrick Fitzpatrick of the Thunder League.

Fun Size gets better everytime I see him wrestle but with the tutelage of fellow Thunder Leaguer Scoot Robertson, Pat came out with the win but that was the beginning of the bad news for fun size as after the match the Nightmare Nathan Graves entered the ring with his diabolical manager Jimmie Ray and that was all she wrote for fun size. As they were leaving the ring a young fan took matters into his own hands and attacked Nathan Graves!! It took the entire staff to hold the monster back as the young fan was taken to safety!!

Match #5

Scoot Robertson vs Chris Cardenas

For The X Fest title!!

This match was for the X Fest title and the cocky and brash Champion Scoot Robertson vs Chris Cardenas who put up one hell of a fight but the crafty Scoot did whatever it took to keep the title as he slid away the winner and lived to fight another day with the belt...

Match #6

Daniel Torch vs Airon Sky for the PWB TV title!!

In what was supposed to be the main event this match features two of the best young wrestlers in Nor Cal, Daniel Torch the champ vs the challenger Airon Skye!!

This was a non stop match full of twists and turns with the fans on the edge of their collective seats!! These 2 combatants battled out until D Torch Escaped with the win which led to the impromptu main event of Airon Skye and Honor Society vs Daniel Torch with Thunder League which was an all out mad house brawl with so much action that it was hard to keep up with it all but the Honor Society and young Airon Sky won thus ending a great day of wrestling!!
