NWS North Middletown, New Jersey 5/10 Results
Over 400 Fans Pack In To See WWE's Former Star Known As Eugene, Four
Former ECW Originals, Former WWE Oddity Giant Silva In a Four-On-One
Handicap Match, A Six-Man Tag-Team Bunkhouse Brawl, Lacey Von Erich
& More From The Promotion That Never Has Trouble Filling The Seats
On the eve of Mother's Day, with all the flowers ordered, cards filled
out, and presents wrapped, over 400 wrestling fans filled the ringside
and bleacher seats of the St. Catherine's Church Gym to see National
Wrestling Superstars' return to the Bayshore area of New Jersey. And
what a return it was, with seven action-packed bouts and a plethora of
WWE & ECW stars of yesterday, today, and (hopefully) tommorow.
In an opening tag-team bout, J.D. Smoothie & "Firebird" Jorge Santi
defeated NWS Jersey Shore Champion Nicky Oceans & Danny Demanto.
All four men brawled inside & outside the ring. Demanto missed a
moonsault splash on Santi, who clotheslined him out of the ring. This
distracted DEmanto's partner Oceans just long enough for Smoothie to
roll up Oceans from behind for the 1-2-3.
Former ECW star Julio Dinero came out to the ring with not one, but two
managers - his always-present manager Miss Michelle, and a newer face
in Gigalo Jones. Julio spent several minutes putting down the fans, and
putting down his opponent for later that night, former WWE RAW star
Eugene.
Mighty Mikey Pacifica won a Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match against
Dan Rageous, "Jumping" Joey Janella & Golden Lynx. With four of
NWS' high-flyers involved, the action was, as expected, more in the air
then on the ground, and even spilled to the outside where Jumping Joey
took out his opponents with a moonsault from the top of the bleachers.
Jumping Joey pinned and eliminated Rageous after Rageous missed a
moonsault of his own off the top rope, but then was eliminated by
Golden Lynx after a somersault splash. After Pacifica and Lynx battled
for several more minutes, Pacifica broke up a superplex attempt by Lynx
and hit him with a flying hurricanrana off the top rope and covered him
for the 1-2-3.
In one of the more unusual spectacles to be seen in an NWS ring, former
WWE Oddities member Giant Silva defeated four other wrestlers (Jack
Spade, B. Fehrm, Bobby Youngblood & The Shadow) in a four-on-one
"Gulliver's Travels Match". The four wrestlers brought a fishnet to the
ring, and their goal was to capture the seven-footer any way they
could. Despite their best efforts, Silva was just too strong, and
escaped the fishnet, and chokeslammed all four opponents and sat on top
of all four for the 1-2-3 pin.
In a battle of former ECW originals, The Blue Meanie (with "Goumba"
Johnny Diamond defeated "Dastardly" Danny Doring (with Gigalo Jones
& Julio Dinero). Dinero was sent back to the locker room by
Commissioner Moore for not having a manager's license, After initially
not being able to out-wrestle Meanie, Doring challenged Meanie to a
dance-off before the match started. Meanie was the obvious fans'
choice, which only angered Doring into attacking Meanie further. But
Meanie outlasted Doring's assaults, and hit his own version of a stone
cold stunner for the pinfall. Doring's buddies Julio Dinero, The
Equalizer, and J.D. Smoothie ran into the ring to attack Meanie
four-on-one, but were driven off by Giant Silva and WWE RAW star Eugene
(who was armed with a water squirt bottle).
Former WWE protege Lacey Von Erich defeated former ECW Women's Champion
Angel Orsini (with Miss Michelle). The ECW veteran Angel expected to
make short work of Lacey, but Lacey's heritage was apparent, as she
outlasted Angel's assault and slapped a Von Erich Clawhold on Angel,
which put her down for the 1-2-3.
In a wild Six-Man Tag-Team Bunkhouse Brawl, "Outlaw" Shane O'Brien
& Nate Mustang & The Jersey Cowboy defeated former ECW brawler
The Equalizer & Corey Havoc & Klondike Kevin Krush. This match
was everywhere and involved everything that wasn't nailed down,
including chairs, trash can lids, poles, and other assorted weapons. In
the end, Equalizer powerbombed Mustang onto a chair, and while he was
bragging to the audience, Klondike came in and tried to get what he
thought was an easy pinfall, but Mustang reversed it and pinned
Klondike 1-2-3 to get the victory for his team. Equalizer attacked
Klondike afterwards for "embarassing him", but Security broke it up.
Commissioner Moore announced that Equalizer would face Klondike
one-on-one when NWS returned to Middletown in July.
In the main event, former WWE RAW star Eugene defeated former ECW star
Julio Dinero (with Miss Michelle & Gigalo Jones). Eugene started by
clowning around, but they both eventually got down to business, with
Dinero and Michelle double-teaming Eugene. Eugene withstood the assault
and eventually "hulked up" and hit Dinero with a boot to the face, leg
drop, and a Five Knuckle Shuffle. Dinero countered with a Diamond
Cutter, and attempted a Stinger Splash on Eugene, but missed and took
out referee Kenny Edwards instead. Equalizer attempted to interfere
while the referee was out, but Eugene put him in a Sharpshooter. J.D.
Smoothie tried to help his friend out too, but he fell victim to
Eugene's Pedigree. Dinero threw a handful of powder in Eugene's face
and tried to pin him as referee Mike Dillon came to the ring, but he
only got a two-count, and an angry Dinero knocked out Dillon. Dinero
then hit Eugene with a chain, and Gigalo Jones held Eugene for a
Superkick from Dinero, but Eugene ducked and Jones got taken out
instead. Eugene then hit a Rock Bottom on Dinero, but Miss Michelle ran
into the ring to distract Eugene, and Eugene grabbed her and kissed her
instead. Eugene then hit a Stone Cold Stunner on Dinero, and a groggy
Kenny Edwards made the three-count, giving Eugene the victory &
sending the fans home happy.
NWS returns to action this Friday night May 16th at 7:45pm at the
Kenilworth, NJ Veterans Center, and on Saturday night May 17th at the
Central Jersey Italian-American Club Showgrounds in Jackson, NJ, with a
special outdoor show beginning at 8:00pm (rain date is the next night
May 18th at 7:00pm), which will include NWS paying tribute to
soon-to-be-retiring WWE hall of fame manager Captain Lou Albano who
will be making his last NJ wrestling appearance that night.
