“Holiday Showdown” Results (12/5/2009)

December 5, 2009 will go down in HVW Midwest’s history as the day the Kansas City Killers (Mark Sterling, Mike Sydal and Jeremy Wyatt) put the resistance into a coma, literally.  At a very special Toys for Tots matinee show HVW’s faithful fans were treated to many new faces vying for the spotlight, but that spotlight shined brightest on the six men and two women in both main events on this night.

• Alexandre Rudolph started the night off with yet another victory, this time over the new but strangely popular Poo Doo the Cow.  The large man needs just one quality win over a top-tiered opponent to really cement his status as a title contender. 
• Eric Allen seems to have brought in reinforcements after an embarrassing loss to HVW Midwest Heavyweight Champion Kahagas at the 1st Anniversary Show.  He teamed with well-traveled star Bailey Mannix (with Lovely Leon) in a victorious encounter with Bucky Collins & Markus Crane.  Collins and Crane worked hard and had the fans’ support, but it wasn’t enough.
• The large, debuting mammoth of a man know as Dixieland Destroyer (with Magic Man) defeated another debuting wrestler named Zabian Zypertin.  Zypertin, in a mask, was injured in the matchup.  Magic Man was recently dismissed by former HVW Midwest Heavyweight Champion Donovan Ruddick, and looks to have found a suitable replacement in Dixieland Destroyer.
• Dan Walsh, a man with deep roots in the St. Louis indy wrestling scene, carried the American flag in a prevailing patriotic encounter with the proud Canadian, Sean Vincent.  After his win, Walsh added some insult to injury for Vincent, much to the delight of those in attendance in Granite City.
• After a strong showing against the Mississippi Madman in October, one would have pegged Matt Cage (with Magic Man) a favorite to defeat a scrawny Dan the Man, but he just couldn’t get the job done.  During the match, Magic Man seemed to get so disgusted with Cage that he sat down and stopped paying attention to the match at hand.  The argument could be made that this lack of support cost Cage the victory, but Dan the Man fought valiantly and earned his hand being raised this night.
• Brandon Aarons came out to confront Brandon Espinosa for leading him down the wrong path over the course of the last year, but was confronted instead by Eric Allen.  When Aarons realized that Espinosa wasn’t in the building, he quickly warmed to a showdown with the mouthy Allen, defeating him in convincing fashion.
• NWA and SHIMMER Women’s Champion MsChif exhibited some of her abnormal tendenies in a match with up and coming local heroine Santana G, but in the end shook her hand in a show of respect after pinning her fair and square in the center of the ring.  The match started with a lockup and solid transitions…  which moved into many near falls for both women, proving that Santana is starting to come into her own, but MsChif is simply the best independent wrestling talent in the country, and perhaps the world.
• Mark Sterling, Mike Sydal, and Jeremy Wyatt – collectively known as the Kansas City Killers, defeated The Hooligans (Devin and Mason Cutter) and their little brother Neil Diamond Cutter in a knock down drag out!  Neil was rushed to the hospital following the end of the match, as Jeremy Wyatt hit him with a piledriver on the ring apron.  As the match turned into a three-on-two, Wyatt took Mason Cutter out behind the red curtain in their brawl.  The match was over with after a three-on-one became too much for Devin, who was pinned by Mark Sterling.  After the match, all three members of the Kansas City Killers beat on Devin until Mason finally made it back to the ring…  this time with a chair.  The show closed with the Killers making a tactical withdrawal from ringside and The Hooligans and HVW staff working to get Neil out of harms way.
