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.
