By: Scott Nigh

Indianapolis, IN (October 11, 2008) - "The World's Home of the Figure 8" ® held its third ever Wrestling and racing program known as WRESTLERACE 8.0 Saturday night. The stars of AWA Entertainment gave an outstanding show to the big UAW Family Night crowd after the top drivers in the Roadrunner and Hornet divisions paced the racecourse for 125-laps each. It was a thrilling doubleheader of entertainment with the fans being the ultimate winner. Here is the recap of the AWA Wrestling matches.

MATCH #1 - BJ HANCOCK vs. DEREK RYZE
The match was fast and furious to get the talented card off to a great start. The seesaw struggle between these high-flyers went back and forth through the first 5 minutes before Ryze gained a nice advantage inciting the enthusiastic Speedrome crowd. He managed to get the pin fall shortly after before an outside wrestler charged the ring to destroy each combatant. AWA President Dale Gagne entered the ring to introduce the "Human Massacre" Keith Walker, the destructing force. Then the call went out to the locker room for him a later challenger.
And the winner is DEREK RYZE

MATCH #2 - DR. X & KIMCHEE vs. DICK THE BRUISER JR & DOINK THE CLOWN
The hometown second-generation star Dick the Bruiser Jr and the crazy clown Doink headed to the ring with his trustee dog chasing the opponents out of the ring while the clown shot silly string on the rowdy crowd. Kimchee vowed to get Bruiser and his little dog too! The fan favorites worked the double team to perfection keeping Dr. X on the mat early. But the heels turned the tide by deceiving the referee to forge ahead. It went back to the "good" side as Doink battled Kimchee all over the racing surface as Bruiser gained the pin over Dr. X. The winning pair had all the young fans join them in celebration inside the ring after the win.
And the winner is DICK THE BRUISER JR & DOINK THE CLOWN

MATCH #3 - DEXTER POINTDEXTER vs. COLLIN TROY
This match was a "Back to School Ruler Match" where the winner got to use a ruler on the loser for 5 minutes after the contest. Collin "the jock" Troy entered the ring first. Dexter "the nerd" Pointdexter came to the fray next to the crowd's delight. The classic thinking man verses pure athletic tussle saw each lust for the fans approval during the early stages. The end came when Dexter charged to the corner where Collin ducked to roll up the challenger for the pin while using the ropes unfairly for leverage. He now got to use the ruler as the match stipulated. But Dexter stole the weapon and dealt out his own punishment.
And the winner is COLLIN TROY

MATCH #4 - ERICO vs. "KRAZY K" KIRBY MACK (World Light Heavyweight Champion)
Mack hit the ring and grabbed the microphone to tell his opponent that he did not approve of him stealing his entrance music. Then the battle ensued with Mack getting the best of the "Indy" Superstar looking to continue his Speedrome winning ways. The Krazy K has had some nice wins here and was on a mission to keep his current title since capturing it in January. And that is just what he did as he used a sunset flip in the corner for the victory.
And your winner and still World Light Heavyweight Champion "KRAZY K" KIRBY MACK

MATCH #5 - LITTLE RED vs. MARCELLUS KING
This match pitted Indianapolis native and big heavyweight brawler King verses the light high-flyer from Detroit Little Red. The clash of styles proved very interesting during the first few lock ups. The powerful King pushed his advantage to the max to pin the less than 100-pound Red down to the mat. King used just one foot on the chest to garner the three count. The ambulance was dispatched to haul the incapacitated Red to the hospital.
And the winner is MARCELLUS KING

MATCH #6 - KEITH WALKER (AWA World Fighting Champion) vs. EGOTISTICAL FANTASTICO
The title challenger was an all out blast of speed and aerial maneuvers. The strategy was a good one for the early portion of the fight. Each time Walker looked to use his power, Egotistical launched a new assault to keep ahead. That worked for quite awhile until a twisting flip off the top rope ended in disaster. Walker grabbed the opponent and sidewalk slammed him to the mat for the one-two-three.
And your winner and still AWA World Fighting Champion KEITH WALKER

MATCH #7 - RICKY LANDELL vs. LARRY ZBYSZKO (AWA World Champion)
This was a war between old school tradition Zbyszko and the "trademark of excellence" Landell. Larry grabbed the microphone at the start and gave Ricky a chance to walk away and not take a trip to Larryland. Landell refused and began the match in quest of the coveted title. The scientific skill of the champion was best at times while the risk and youth of the challenger gained momentum as well. The last few minutes of the match saw AWA President Dale Gagne on the side of the ring trying to throw powder into the eyes of Landell as he held Larry in a full nelson. Ricky ducked for the champ to receive the trickery. Then Keith Walker entered the ring and slammed Landell. He then put Larry on top for the pin but Ricky kicked out. He then put the finishing touches on Zbyszko to earn him his first AWA World Heavyweight Championship.

And your winner and new AWA World Champion, RICKY LANDELL.
