Uptown Wrestling News Blog #7: PWB GRAPECITY CON IN LODI

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!!

Thanks to Pro Wrestling Bushido for the awesome opportunity...

Uptown Wrestling News #6: PWB CHRISTMAS SHOW 12.27.2015 AT THE FAT CAT IN MODESTO

BLOG #6

PWB HOLIDAY SHOW AT THE FAT CAT IN MODESTO 

BY MIKE VANEK 

Happy New Year I took the week or two off for the holidays but I'm back to kick off 2016 with a bang!! 

On December 27th 2015 Pro Wrestling Bushido put on a special show for the family units that support PWB the most. This Free show was a gift to the people that make PWB possible the fans...

This show was great and made history for a certain local tag team. My son James and I walked down to the Fat Cat the Sunday after X mas to go watch wrestling. We arrived to see a full house to see all they're favorite guys... People in the crowd are all regulars and they all have a favorite and that is really cool to see as someone who has followed this promotion since literally day 1.

The show kicked off with regular PWB announcer Shawn Michael Allen 

Played some acoustic punk songs ( Really cool) then he announced the guest ring announcer Mr Athletic Jeff Cobb!!

The first match set Young Lions cup winner Will Roberts who is setting himself up to be one of the premier young wrestlers in Nor Cal wrestling vs his female opponent Dezzy D in a mixed gender match. 

Young Will obviously didn't know he didn't know he was wrestling a female or something because he began the match asking Dezzy to bow out but she wasn't having any of that she answered repeatedly with swift blows and the match was on and every-time the young Roberts would get the upper hand he would ask her to stay down but she would come back with fierce determination but that wasn't enough as Will Roberts carried out the win...

Match 2 was for the PWB X Fest championship and it matched the champ Scoot Robertson vs Johnny Butabi and his maniacal manager Donovan Troi.

This was a fiercely fought battle for one of PWB's most prominent and oldest titles in the promotion.  

This match was a back & fourth survival of the fittest with each of the combatants giving each other everything they had for the gold with Scoot successfully recapturing the X Fest Title.

The 3rd match pitted the up and comer Fun Size against one of the most exciting wrestlers in Nor Cal Airen Sky!! 

This was a match where you can really see the progression of two young wrestlers learning they're craft. I've seen these guys wrestle a lot as of late and they really put it out there!!

But the upper hand went to the battle tested Airen Sky who proved his worth as one of the young wrestlers with a passion for the business  like few others in the scene as he carried out the victory!! After the match fun size was attacked by the very scary Nathan Rulez who has been terrorizing victims after matches as of late...

Match 4 was Victor Sterling vs the charismatically mean spirited Daniel Torch.

The match began with D Torch parading himself around the club and perching himself atop the bar do the crowd could see the PWB TV Champion in full glory. This match was a demonstration of why Daniel Torch has kept the TV Strap match after match...

He does what ever it takes to win the match. Poor Victor Sterling could only try but his best try wasn't good enough as Torch snuck away with the win with his feet on the ropes to his advantage without the referee seeing...

Once again Torch wins and escaped with the PWB TV Title... 

Match 5 began as SMA was singing between matches the spoiled rotten Alexander G Bernard interrupted the song grabbing the mic and declared he was who the crowd came to see and that led to the match with his opponent "Wrestling Personified" Rik Luxery.

The totally full of himself Alexander was no match to the ring veteran in Rik Luxery who just out wrestled him and gave him a lesson in the sport of professional wrestling. Needless to say Rik Luxery won the match...

That leads us to one hell of a main event but first we got a visit from Santa Clause for all the kids that came to the family show.

Match 6 was the main event and tag team championship match. At the last PWB show the Thunder League stole the belts after losing to the Honor Society with a our numbered beating to the champs which led to Sir Samurai being carried from the ring.

The honor society returned belt less but still champs. Coming out to their traditional Star Wars theme their counter parts in the Thunder League came out sporting Star Trek flanked by manager The Voice Donovan Troi.

This match completes one year of the Honor Society competing every weekend making Nor Cal Wrestling History!!

This was thrill packed match full of twists and turns but the Honor Society used the force to pull out the victory even though the Thunder League pulled out every trick in the book even with Scoot Robertson dressed as Santa ringside interfering in the match and Samurai and Frost escaped with the titles!!

After the match whiled being berated by Scoot Donovan Troi shocked the Modesto locals when he planted a giant smooch in the mug of one scoot Robertson!! A dramatic end to a world class wrestling show!!

Hats off to Everyone at Pro Wrestling Bushido for capping off one hell of a year!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
