Dr. Donnie Brannen ring announcer

Night started with Beau James reading a list of wrestlers who competed in SSW who have passed away,Followed by a 10 bell salute. Then Beau talked about the wrestling Ministry Christian Championship Wrestling  that he started and Big Al Bass had a special word.

*Shane Royal pinned Bulldog Mac with a fisherman Suplex

* Tony Givens and Nick Hammonds beat Chris Richards and Robbie Cassidey. When Givens  rolled up Richards while he was being distracted by Ricky Morton

*Wrecker Rollins w/ James McHone beat The Warmachine  - McHone got on the mic and said he was not fooled. He knew the history. Beau James and Warmachine were long time buddies and two times SSW Tag  Champions. He was going to give Machine a message to give Beau James and that was a ride on the stretcher. Machine who for years was the big man in SSW did not match up in size to the 420lbs Rollins. But Machine held his own until McHone got involved. Machine had Rollins down when McHone jumped on the apron Machine went after him. Rollins caught him from behind followed it with a big lariat for the finish

*SSW Ladies Champion Misty James pinned Nicole Starr w/ Jody V.- Misty had some trouble moving the large Starr around in the ring at times but was able to get the pin after a flying clothes line followed up by a splash. After the match Rebecca Lynn ran in and did a number on Misty.

*Ricky Morton, Ricky Harrison and Iron Cross beat Jeff Storm, Jamie Gibson, and D.P. Holiday w/ Rebecca Lynn. Morton,Cross and Harrison probably are the three most popular wrestlers of all 19 years. Gibson has been with SSW on and off all 19 years. Holiday started his career here in 2000 and returned last year after being gone a few years. Harrison only wrestles about once a year and never looks like he looses a step. Storm has been with SSW for a few years now. Great classic wrestling match finish saw Morton atomic drop Holiday into Cross and Harrison's double drop kick

*Beau James and Bobo Brown(subbing for Wayne Adkins) beat Keith Knox and Kole Layton King w/ James McHone in a stretcher match. King was carried out following a pile driver from James.This was a wild fight from the beginning going all over the building. Brown, Knox, and King all were on the stretcher at different points but got off before they reached the dressing room door.

James was to get 5 minutes with McHone but as the time started. Wrecker Rollins jumped in and he and McHone beat James to a bloody mess. James was helped out and taken back from the ring by the refs, Shane Royal, and Iron Cross.

*Frank "The Tank" Parker w/ James McHone beat Ray Idol for the SSW Title. Battle of the two strongest men in SSW. Both men hold weight lifting records in VA. McHone and Rollins got involved after the ref was knocked down. Parker used the Wrecker's knucks on Idol and put him in his full nelson. Ref was helped up by McHone. Checked Idol's arm and called for the bell. After the belt was given to Parker. Jimmy Valiant came in the ring to tell the ref what had happened and he was attacked by McHone and Co. Parker put the Full Nelson on Valiant.

* Iron Cross won a 15 Man Best of SSW Rumble

Notes
Lots of heat on McHone and his Army. Beau James, Ray Idol , and Jimmy Valiant all where helped out of the ring after the beatings. Rollins put a huge hole in the side of James head with the knucks that had to be cleaned and patched by National Guard Medic.He was told to go to E.R.

Both Idol and James missed the Rumble due to the attacks. Parker came out when his number was called. But never entered the Ring just held his newly won belt high and walked out.


The largest non Thanksgiving Night crowd at the Armory in a while 186 paid plus give ways and sponsors tickets...The Front Row VIP seats sold out at 6:45 more front rows were added and were sold out by 7:05. ...Warmachine,Chuck Jones (Who was in The Rumble), Ricky Harrison all got a great reaction from the crowd. Jones and Machine have not been in Kingsport in many years.The matches lasted to 11:05 which is about 45 minutes longest than usual but the people stayed and seemed to be happy when they left.
